Ladies Chorus seeks singers Special to the News

Bernie Shaw has written another book dealing with a battle of the sexes. See page 18

Braiden Turner belts it out at concert at the Richmond fairgrounds. See page 35

News - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is looking for singers for the coming year. While the first formal rehearsal will not be taking place until Sunday, Sept. 29, singers are expected to know their music before that date. This is how just two months of rehearsals are needed prior to the group’s Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 1. And now to singers learn their music prior to the first rehearsal? Well, bingers of music will be issued to singers by the middle of August, giving lots of time for each singer to become familiar with the voice part that is to be sung. To assist with this learning, West Ottawa Ladies Chorus music director Robert Dueck is preparing mp3 files of all of the group’s fall term music for each voice part. Each singer will receive this to assist with learning the particular voice part that applies. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is looking for ladies who have some choir experience as well as an ability to blend, match pitch and sing a designated voice part. Basic to intermediate sight reading skills would be an asset. From Sept. 29 through to the Dec. 1st Christmas concert, there will be two weekly rehearsals, with singers expected to attend at least one of them. The rehearsals will take place on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday afternoons. Those interested in pursing this singing opportunity with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus should call music director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or at LadiesChorus@bell.net to arrange for participation in a group minimusic rehearsal for new recruits and to receive the binder of sheet music for the fall term. This will happen sometime in the last two weeks of August. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus operates in two terms, fall and spring, with each term leading up to a concert – the Christmas concert for the fall term and the spring concert for the spring term. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is the music director for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Bonnie MacDiarmid serves as the group’s accompanist. The group’s Christmas concert will be held on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 1 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata. Guest performers will include the Trinity Hilltop Handbell Ringers of Kanata as well as a guest tenor soloist.

In addition, you can also enjoy a BBQ meal which will be held in conjunction with the garage sale. This is all happening on Saturday, Aug. 17 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. At this fundraising garage sale and BBQ, there will be an array of items for sale including household items, household décor, children’s toys, children’s clothing, adult and maternity clothing, sports equipment, electronics, books, CDs, DVDs and more. It will be heaven for any garage sale aﬁcionado, just someone who likes good buys or someone who likes to support a good cause. In addition, there will be coffee and baked goods available for the early crowd while the BBQ will begin at 10 a.m. A team from the Community Bible Church was going to travel to Kenya next spring to help with the work that needs to be done there but the trip was moved up to this coming October because of the urgency of some of the work to be done. This has put even more importance on this upcoming fundraising garage sale and BBQ because the time for fundraising for the team’s trip has been reduced. There are other fundraising initiatives being planned such as BBQs at local grocery stores and a special event in September. See GARAGE SALE, page 61

ville. It is something that has been happening annually since 2001 on the first Saturday in August and this year was no different. Last Saturday afternoon, Benji’s Place owner Bea McDaniels hosted this annual get-together for both customers and their dogs in the backyard of her Stittsville home. And while it is a party for both customers and their dogs, with over a dozen dogs and 30 people in attendance this year, for Bea this is just one more opportunity to be with the dogs which she loves. “I play with them and they love me,” she has said about what happens at this annual party, admitting that she spends most of her time with the dogs while the costumers chat and enjoy food which Bea gets from Sobeys. It involves a full buffet as well as dessert. Bea also looks after the dogs, feeding them chicken mixed with kibble. She is surrounded by the dogs, all on a blanket, as she feeds them, much not only to the dogs’ delight but also to Bea’s delight as well. But for Bea, this party 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, R0062115994

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Let the election spin begin

s soon as the polls closed on Aug. 1, the pundits were hard at work trying to generate the best spin possible for their parties. Interpreting the results all depends how you look at them. The New Democratic Party picked up two seats, with Peggy Sattler taking London West and Percy Hatfield winning in Windsor-Tecumseh. NDP leader Andrea Horwath said the results were a call for change, with voters expressing their displeasure with a government plagued by scandals over the past year. In a race that was deemed too close to call until late into the night, Conservative Doug Holyday, the former deputy mayor of Toronto, was declared the winner in Etobicoke-Lakeshore, creating a blue fissure in the Liberalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fortress Toronto. Even though they only took one seat, Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak pointed out that all five ridings in the 2013 byelection were seats held by former Liberal cabinet ministers. Meanwhile, the Liberals managed to take two seats, with Mitzie Hunter keeping the Toronto-area riding of Scarborough Guildwood and perhaps most importantly, John Fraser holding onto Ottawa

South, former premier Dalton McGuintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s riding. A poll prior to last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s byelection predicted Conservative Matt Young would take the riding, which has elected a Liberal MPP for nearly three decades. Bronwyn Funiciello (NDP) and Taylor Howarth (Green), candidates who placed third and fourth respectively in Ottawa South, complained people were voting strategically, throwing their support behind Fraser in fear of a PC win in Ottawa South. If anything, last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results have left us with more questions than answers. By the numbers, the Liberals lost three seats. But another way of looking at it is they went into the election a minority government and emerged a minority government. None of the opposition parties would have been able to top the Liberals seat count in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s byelections anyway. It seems the Aug. 1 byelections merely served as appetizers for the hotly-anticipated main course. The next general election is another two years away, unless the Tories and NDP combine to topple the minority Liberal government. Until then, the true feelings of the electorate will remain anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guess or spin.

Federal Liberal Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform may have gone up in smoke

fter months of waiting with bated breath, Liberals finally got a â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shall we say whiff? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; of Justin Trudeauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform. Late July, while on tour in British Columbia, the Liberal leader, best known for his appeal to young people, announced that should he form a government, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d legalize marijuana. Justin, Justin, Justin. Can I call you Justin? What the heck is going on, man? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want Liberals to regain some of their base? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you want to have a chance at power in, say, six years? Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s be honest, 2015 is a little optimistic for the party that began a decade of implosion after the knives came out for J.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as in Jean Chretien. I understand you connect with young people, but in case you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the memo, Justin, young people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote. And according to an informal survey I did recently â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I called a few people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lot of pot smokers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t vote. The ones that do? Well, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really care if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal or not, do they, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;cause theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already thumbing their noses at the law. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not a make or break issue for them. Then there are people like me. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

lie. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve smoked pot, more than once. But I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touched the stuff since the days of my extended adolescence (read: university years). Today, I stick to the legal goods: red wine, cigars, etc. There are a few reasons for this. For one, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like smoking pot. And two, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal. Call me old-fashioned, but partaking in illegal activity is, to quote Austin Powers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;not my bag, baby.â&#x20AC;? Frequent trips to the LCBO are on my radar. The odd voyage to Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Milk to buy ciggies, no problem. But seeking out a shady guy possessing and trafficking marijuana? Just not worth my time.

clared that, should it be legalized, consumption of marijuana would go down. Ha! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest joke Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever heard. Can you imagine walking into a corner store and asking for a pack of joints before that weekend trip to the cottage? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d all be doing it, at least on occasion. And so would our kids. What I find odd is that we would consider legalizing a substance that, when smoked, can make bystanders a little high. Arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we on the brink of outlawing cigarettes, primarily because of complaints by second-hand smokers? If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal, how does the state regulate where, how and how often it can be used, and by whom? How would you regulate impaired driving while under the influence of this substance? I know a handful of people who regularly â&#x20AC;&#x153;toke and driveâ&#x20AC;? and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s risky business. One guy I knew actually flew a small Cessna over Toronto with me after heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d smoked two large reefers on Front Street. I only found out afterward. If heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been drunk, it would have been more obvious to the flight trainers and to me and he may have faced consequences. But he was high and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any of the goods on his person. So no problem. Of course, Justin, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry

about the nitty-gritty like roadside urine tests and the construction of hotboxes in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyards to contain second-hand smoke. You get to be, excuse the pun again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;highlevelâ&#x20AC;? on the details. But Justin, Justin, my friend, if you ever want to win an election, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to reach out to your voter base. And in case you missed that memo, too, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all got grey hair and are, even as I write this, moving into retirement communities. In their minds, any potential for your party platform may have just gone up in smoke.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A million barrels a day of crude oil could be travelling by pipeline through Goulbourn within a few years. TransCanada Corporation announced Aug. 1 that it is proceeding with the proposed Energy East Pipeline. Part of that project features the conversion of one of two natural gas pipelines through the city of Ottawa and the Valley from a gas to an oil pipeline. TransCanada representatives met with area municipal ofďŹ cials in June to give them a heads-up on the proposed transformation that will take about four years to complete. They noted that converting the existing pipeline would be much less disruptive than building a new one. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve indicated there will be public information meetings about the plan this fall, likely in October, well before any work is done. The gas pipeline in question runs down the Ottawa Valley from Pembroke through the Pakenham area and then into the city of Ottawa, running through West Carleton and then through Goulbourn just west of Stittsville and just west of Richmond before con-

tinuing southward down to Iroquois. In its news release, TransCanada announced it is moving forward with the 1.1million-barrel-per-day Energy East Pipeline project based on receiving binding, longterm contracts from producers and reďŹ ners. The company says the contracts for about 900,000 barrels a day of oil conďŹ rmed strong market support for a pipeline that will, if all regulatory approvals are granted, transport crude oil from Western Canada to Eastern Canadian reďŹ neries and export terminals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased with the outcome of the open season for the Energy East Pipeline held earlier this year and are excited to move forward with a major project that will bring many beneďŹ ts across Canada,â&#x20AC;? said TransCanada CEO Russ Girling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an historic opportunity to connect the oil resources of western Canada to the consumers of eastern Canada, creating jobs, tax revenue and energy security for all Canadians for decades to come.â&#x20AC;? TransCanada representatives have said that the pipeline will give eastern Canadians a stable and reliable supply of crude oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan and cut down Eastern Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dependence on more expensive imported crude oil. Eastern

Canada currently imports about 700,000 barrels of oil a day. The project involves converting about 3,000 kilometres of existing natural gas pipeline to crude oil service and constructing about 1,400 kilometres of new pipeline. The pipeline will terminate in Saint John, New Brunswick, where TransCanada and Irving Oil have formed a joint venture to build, own and operate a new deep water marine terminal that will send the oil to overseas markets. The pipeline is expected to cost about $12 billion and be in service by late-2017 for deliveries in Quebec and 2018 for deliveries to New Brunswick. The company is promising to â&#x20AC;&#x153;engage in open and meaningful discussions with Aboriginal communities and key stakeholder groupsâ&#x20AC;? along the pipeline route. Some groups, including Greenpeace, the Council of Canadians and Ecology Ottawa, have expressed concern about having an oil pipeline going through the area, citing recent spills in the U.S. For more information about the Energy East Pipeline project, visit www.energyeastpipeline.com or www.oleoducenergieest.com.

Kidney Walk in Stittsville Sunday, Sept. 8 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kidney Walk takes place on Sunday, Sept. 8. Whether it is to take part as a participant in the stroll along Stittsville Main Street that day or creating a team to participate in the Walk or donating online or being there to cheer others on or perhaps bringing the kids or grandchildren out for the Walkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associated Funday Sunday activities, it is not too early to begin sifting through these choices and selecting the one that appeals to you the most. The big push right now for the organizers at the Stittsville United Church is to ďŹ nd more people willing to create teams to participate in the Walk and raise funds for the battle against kidney disease. Indeed, for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second annual Kidney Walk, the fundraising goal has been increased. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural walk exceeded its goal of $10,000. So, this year the goal has been set higher at $15,000. This means there is a need for more participants, more sponsors and more donors. The organizing team headed

by Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, herself a kidney transplant recipient, and Ruth Richardson is hoping to have twice as many walkers out for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk compared to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful ďŹ rst-ever Kidney Walk in Stittsville. So, consider getting together with neighbours or friends or work colleagues or club members and turn out for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kidney Walk. The Walk will again start at 11 a.m. at the church steps of Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road and then proceed along Stittsville Main Street to Papa Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Beverly Street which will be the turning around point. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to the church. At the church, there will be Funday Sunday activities including a BBQ sponsored by Stittsville Sobeys, two hours of entertainment by local jazz band Fonograph and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities like an inďŹ&#x201A;atable obstacle course and a bouncy castle. Participants in the Walk will receive blue t-shirts showing support for people with kidney disease. The Walk along Stittsville Main Street will be like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sea of blueâ&#x20AC;? washing along the street. Stittsville has a number of

Craig Dunbar is a Stittsville resident who is waiting for a kidney transplant. kidney patients struggling with kidney disease as well as transplant donors and recipients who wish to give back. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the Kidney Walk was started last year and continues this year. Among those involved this year are Mary Anne Graham and her husband Bill who live in Stittsville. Mary Anne gave Bill one of her kidneys and so they are big supporters of organ donations. Laptop computers will be set up on the day of the Walk so that

people can sign up online to donate their organs after death if they so wish. One in ten Canadians suffers from kidney disease while many others are at risk. Nearly 10,000 Ontarians depend on dialysis treatments while over 1,000 people in Ontario are waiting for a kidney transplant. In addition, many others live with reduced kidney function. The Kidney Foundation works to improve the lives of people affected by kidney disease through supporting research, advocating with government, peer support, education and programs. Kidney Walks are taking place in more than 40 communities across the province this year including here in Stittsville. For more information about the Kidney Walk coming up in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 8, please contact Elizabeth Hochester-Hurst at 613-836-6847, Ruth Richardson at 613-8368735 or Craig Dunbar, a Stittsville resident and kidney disease patient who works for the Kidney Foundation at 1-613-7249953, ext. 4562. Registration can be done online right now at www.kidneywalk.ca.

Richmond Fair wants young talent Dr. Marc Glavin Dr. Catherine Oliarnyk Dr. Shelley Hutchings Dr. Tara Young Dr. Michelle Hansford Dr. Alison Seely

I want to begin my column this week by thanking all Goulbourn residents for their patience during the countless construction projects this summer. With resurfacing projects nearly completed on Ottawa Street and King Street in Richmond, the end to end projects along Flewellyn Road continue. Enbridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa Reinforcement Pipeline Project construction continues from Eagleson Road to Conley Road, which has created some road closures on Flewellyn this summer. The Flewellyn resurfacing project is slated to begin this week as well, between Munster Road and Ashton Station Road. As part of this project, Ashton Station Road (Flewellyn to Ormrod) and Ormrod Road will also be resurfaced. The contractor for this project is Cavanagh Construction. Due to a bridge replacement on Conley Road, Conley will be closed from August 8th until August 26th between Bleeks Road and Copeland Road. Goldie Mohr will be undertaking these works, local trafďŹ c will be permitted and detours will be in place for through trafďŹ c.

Wild Parsnip A couple of weeks ago, you read about wild parsnip in this column. The intent of that column was to educate residents on what wild parsnip is and why you should be cautious around it. Our ofďŹ ce has received much feedback on this issue and I just wanted to provide an update. At the City Council meeting of July 17th, I put forward an inquiry asking what staff is doing to help control the spread of wild parsnip. Further, I asked whether or not we have explored using herbicides to help combat this poisonous plant. In Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pesticides Act there is an exemption that would allow the use of herbicides on plants that are poisonous and can cause a public health concern. I feel wild parsnip ďŹ ts the bill and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the response from staff. While this season of wild parsnip is nearing its end, it has spread exponentially over the last several years and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that we can at least ďŹ nd a reasonable solution and begin to reduce the spread of wild parsnip.

Second Annual NGFM Celebrity Cook-Off On August 10th, the North Gower Farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market will be holding its second annual cook off. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be a Media Challenge featuring CTV News Anchor Carol Anne Meehan and food specialist Pam Collacott returning to defend the title that they won last year (I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mention who they beat). They will be challenged by Nancy Stapleton from Country 101 and Vito Pilieci, an Ottawa Citizen writer. Nancy and Vito will be paired with Domenic Bevilaqua from Babbos of Manotick and a guest chef from Beckta. The celebrities, together with the chefs, will be required to prepare a dish or dishes with ingredients from the market. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be supporting the North Gower Food Bank. Bring along a non-perishable food item or make a cash donation and you will be entered in a draw. The winners will get the opportunity to dine with one of the celebrities and the chef sharing the dish they have prepared. There will also be a live auction for each celebrity/chef and offer an additional opportunity for the winning bidder to also dine the celebrities and chefs. The winning team will be determined by the Celebrity/ Chef combination that raises the most money from the auction. The North Gower Farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Market is located on Roger Stevens Drive in the beautiful village of North Gower and is open every Saturday until Thanksgiving from 8:30am until 1:00pm.

13th annual graduation for Sacred Heart Special to the News

News - This year marked Sacred Heart Catholic High School’s 13th annual graduation ceremony. And the Class of 2013 may have been the best graduating class of all time at Sacred Heart. At least this was the assertion of valedictorian Victor Seregelyi and the standing ovation that he received from his fellow Class of 2013 graduates following his valedictory address shows that others shared this belief. A total of 282 students, including Victor Seregelyi, received their Ontario Secondary School Diplomas at the ceremony which took place on Thursday, June 27 at the Bell Sensplex. Students Anika Bunkis and Maclen Chisholm served as the MC’s for the graduation ceremony which saw an address by principal Cindy Owens as well as the delivery of greetings from the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s trustees by trustee John Curry and from the Board’s senior administration by Julian Han-

lon, Director of Education of the School Board. The closing blessing of the graduates was said by Mary Defayette, who is the chaplain at Sacred Heart Catholic High School.

‘A Snapshot in Time’ heritage photo contest Special to the News

News - Monday, Sept. 30 is the deadline for the submission of entries to this year’s heritage photo contest being sponsored by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Up until then, entries can be dropped off at the Stittsville, Richmond and Munster branches of the Ottawa Public Library. Entries must be colour or black and white prints, anything up to 8 x 10 inches in size. Entries to this “A Snapshot in Time” photo contest must be original shots taken within the boundaries of the former township of Goulbourn during 2013. They cannot have been previously published or entered in any other contest or showing. There are five different theme categories, with a photographer allowed to submit up to two entries in each category. Entries should be enclosed in a sealed envelope with each separate photo clearly marked on its back with the location where it was taken, the subject, the name, address and phone number of the photographer and the theme category being entered. In addition, brief notes explaining the historical connection of a particular shot are welcomed. Such information could potentially enhance the points awarded by the judges for a particular entry. The five theme categories in this year’s photo contest are “Heritage Homes in Goulbourn”; “The Richmond Fair 2013: Tomorrow’s History”; “Goulbourn Swamps & Wetlands”; “Links to the Past”; and “Heritage Tombstones.” This year, a new wrinkle has been added to this annual heritage photo contest and that is a special youth category, open to local residents aged 17 and under. The categories are the same as are the contest rules such as the photo must be taken this year within the boundaries of the former Goulbourn township. But in this youth section of the contest, entries are to be submitted via email, with a one Megabyte (MB) file size as the maximum allowed

per shot. Such entries are to be emailed to YouthPhotoContest@GoulbournHistoricalSociety.org . For all entrants to this heritage photo contest, both young and others, there is no entry fee. However, all en-

tries do become the property of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Judging will be based on both historic interest and photographic merits such as the use of lighting, composition and impact. Detailed rules can be found on the Historical Society’s website at www.goulbournhistoricalsociety.org .

The parking lot at the Stittsville Small Animal Clinic in Stittsville has been repaved.

New book: ‘US versus THEM’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It is different than his previous writings, so much so that it is published under a partial pseudonym or pen name. But that doesn’t mean that former longtime Stittsville resident Bernie Shaw is not happy with his newest book – it is simply that it is a departure from much of his previous writings which have dealt with historically-based subjects while this latest work incorporates comedy and humour as it tells the tale of a battle of the sexes. Using the name Sam Bernard (taken from his name S. Bernard Shaw), he has written the 48 page book published by General Store Publishing House Inc. of Renfrew with its title outlining its content: “US versus THEM – Survival of the Male in a Retirement Home.” The book is illustrated throughout its 17 chapters by work done by Dave Shaw, Bernie’s son, who had previously done illustrations for Bernie’s earlier work on ghosts in Goulbourn. Now 82 and a two year resident at the Stillwater Creek Retirement Home at Bells Corners, Mr. Shaw collected most of the stories and observations related in the book from the internet rather than recounting stories involving his Stillwater Creek

neighbours. He notes that all of the stories in the book are of a positive nature. Early sales of the book within the Stillwater Creek community were robust, with lots of positive reaction. The book sells for $10. Mr. Shaw says that there is a lot of humour around a retirement community and he wrote the book as a winter project to hopefully generate a few laughs for its readers. “It’s important to laugh,” Mr. Shaw says, admitting that it is difficult to write comedy and humour. He says that the book does not seem that funny to him but adds that the readers to date seem to be laughing while reading it. The back cover of the book carries this synopsis of the book: “This is a humourous look at male life in the predominantly female environment of a retirement home. The advantages and disadvantages of alternative accommodation for seniors are reviewed. Practical advice is offered to the male minority of retirement home residents. Despite the admitted prejudice of the author, a reluctant glow of admiration shines through the fog of male superiority and he reluctantly concludes that women are gradually but surely winning the battle of the sexes.” Outlining the contents are chapter titles such as “Romance and Relationships – Strategic Plan” ; “Exercise

and Health – Forward Defence Area” ; “Laughter – Entertain the Troops”; “Environment – Rules of Combat”; “Alternatives – Plan B”; and “Some General Rules for Survival – Standing Routine Orders (SROs).” Mr. Shaw describes this as his first writing venture that is outside

his customary historical, documentary writings. He explains that he undertook the enterprise as a result of his two years as a retirement home resident along with “too much spare time” and “an over-fertile imagination.” He says that it was an “idle whim” that he undertook as a winter project. “It all just happened,” he says. He said that in writing it, he really had no potential market in mind as

he was doing it basically for himself, believing that seniors like himself have to keep active doing things in order to keep the brain and body working. But he does admit that families of seniors in retirement homes and even seniors buying it for senior friends are obvious potential markets for the book. Bernie Shaw has had a long and extensive writing career. Not only has he written about 200 magazine articles but he has a number of books to his credit including books about the Opeongo line, a colonization road in the Upper Ottawa Valley; Opeongo Lake in Algonquin Park; Canoe Lake in Algonquin Park where Canadian artist Tom Thomson died mysteriously in 1917; and the history of aerial photography in Canada. He has also written “Ghosts of Goulbourn” telling ghost tales pertaining to Goulbourn township and he wrote the text for “Goulbourn Stained Glass,” a book about church stained glass windows in Goulbourn, published by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. He continues to write on a regular basis, penning a profile of a Stillwater Creek Retirement Home resident for each monthly issue of The Stillwater Creek Times,” the retirement community’s in-house publication. Copies of “US versus THEM – Survival of the Male in a Retirement Home” are available from General Store Publishing House Inc. in Renfrew – phone 1-800-465-6072. Postal address is 499 O’Brien Road, Renfrew, Ontario K7V 3Z3.

Untold story of women of War of 1812 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - You can learn about a different and previously virtually untold aspect of the War of 1812 thanks to a current exhibit now on display at the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. This is the story of the War of 1812 as told by the exploits of six women and hence the title of the exhibit: “Exceptional Women and the War of 1812.” This exhibit, developed by the Goulbourn Museum based on research done by Kurt Johnson, a member of the Museum’s Board of Directors, highlights the War of 1812 involvement of six women, all of whom have a connection to the War of 1812 veterans who eventually were among the first settlers in Richmond and Goulbourn in 1818. One of the women is the already famous Laura Secord but she has been included in this exhibit because of Mr. Johnson’s discovery of historical references in a couple of sources that led to a new fact, namely that Maria Hill, one of Richmond’s early settlers, had met and helped Laura Secord on the battlefield at the Battle of Queenston Heights, even hiding her young baby in a wood pile to enable her to do this. Maria Hill is known for her exploits dressing up as a soldier and following her husband Andrew on his postings and serving as a nurse for the 100th Regiment of Foot. For all of these reasons, she is one of the

“exceptional women” depicted in this display. Among the other women portrayed in this exhibit is Agathe Nowlan, the wife of Lieutenant Maurice Nowlan of the 100th Regiment of Foot who died in the storming of Fort Niagara. She herself, like many wives, had not followed her husband to his posting but had remained back in Montreal. But correspondence from Lieutenant Nowlan to his wife and what it reveals makes her an important aspect to any telling of the War of 1812. Other women portrayed in the exhibit include Lydia Burke, wife of Captain George Burke who became superintendent of the Richmond Military Settlement in 1818 and who was cited for bravery in the War of 1812; Catherine Lyon, wife of Lieutenant George Lyon of the 100th Regiment of Foot who was wounded in the Battle of Chippawa; and Lady Jane Vaughan, wife of soldier William Vaughn of the 100th Regiment. The stories of these six “exceptional” women, all associated with the War of 1812, are now being told, a story that has been unknown and untold for too long. These stories affirm the role that women played in the War of 1812. This “Exceptional Women” display also features a handout about the Goulbourn Museum as well as free copies of the booklet “Goulbourn’s Top 12 of 1812” which the Goulbourn Museum produced with the financial assistance from the federal government’s 1812 Commemoration Fund for the Museum’s recent War

of 1812 Tribute event. This booklet outlines the stories of twelve War of 1812 veterans who have a connection to Richmond and Goulbourn. Included in these 12 is none other than the “exceptional” Maria Hill. Associated with the seven panels which make up this “Exceptional Women” display is the Art Space

glass display case in which the Goulbourn Museum has placed a number of women’s heritage artifacts from bygone days – gloves, a compact mirror, a handkerchief, a purse, a cameo for a necklace, a quilt pen, postcards, a jewellery box, hair clips, hat pins, a curling iron and a number of booklets from the “Mother’s Se-

ries” giving advice to mothers. This “Exceptional Women and the War of 1812” exhibit of the Goulbourn Museum will be on display at the Stittsville library branch from now to the end of August. Visiting members of the public are urged to drop in to the library during its hours of operation and view the exhibit. The Art Space Wall area is located at the right rear of the library as you enter the library.

Sports - He’s been there, done that. And now he’s using that experience and accumulated knowledge to help aspiring young elite athletes be there and do that as well. Glenn Kulka, born in Edmonton, had a lengthy athletic career which included major Junior A hockey, American college football, Canadian Football League (CFL) action with five teams, professional hockey in the East Coast Hockey League and professional wrestling. Now, as a certified personal trainer at Complete Athletics, the sport training centre that is one of the facilities at the Complete Hockey Development Centre on Iber Road in Stittsville, Glenn focuses on helping elite young athletes become more goal oriented, working with them not only on their fitness and physical development but also on the mental aspects involved with elite sports. He points to his own sports experience in saying that he has experienced somewhere along the line what the young athletes that he is training are now experiencing. “I try to just create better athletes,” he says, noting that dryland training for elite young athletes is extremely important. He notes that what makes the difference in gaining success for most young athletes is working hard and being disciplined. And Glenn is happy in the role that he is now playing in the lives of elite young athletes. “This is where I think I trained my whole life to be,” he says, viewing his role as one of transferring the knowledge that he picked up over his own 20 year career as a high performance athlete to today’s up and coming young athletes. And he gives personal attention to each of the elite young athletes that he trains. He is with them every second that they are in the gym working out. He does this so that he can guide them in what they are doing, ensuring that every workout is a beneficial one. Glenn says that if a young athlete is shown the proper form for doing, for example, a bench press, that athlete will never forget how to do it properly. This is a huge factor in preventing training injuries. That’s why he teaches young athletes how to train properly. Of course, a personal trainer is still needed to be there in the gym to ensure that the proper form is followed and to help tweak any bad habits which might creep into the athlete’s form. And while Glenn provides individual attention in the gym, he does train the athletes in small groups, something which makes it more economical for the athletes while also

adding camaraderie and spirit to the workout sessions. Glenn also encourages such an atmosphere as he participates along with his athletes at times, for instance, in doing pushups or springing up on a box. And when all is said and done in these, it’s low fives all around. That’s the kind of personal approach that Glenn Kulka uses. And he is always watching and giving advice where appropriate – he’s a good communicator. But then, that’s what you might expect from a person who co-hosted a sports talk radio show for several years and did commentary when the Ottawa Renegades were in the CFL. And so whether in the gym or

Training with Glenn Kulka at Complete Athletics Continued from page 25

A grade 12 student at Sacred Heart High School, Mitchell has been working out under Glenn Kulka’s tutelage for three years now. He says that as a smaller player, he felt that he needed an edge. “Working out with Glenn gave me that edge,” he says, noting that he now not only plays community football but also is representing his province in the sport. He says that thanks to working with Glenn, he now feels stronger and faster when out on the football field. He likes Glenn’s hands-on approach to the training, saying that Glenn is always right there with you during the training. Mitchell hopes to play university football – someplace which offers a good education and has a good football program, such as at Queens or McGill or the University of Western Ontario. His dream is to play in the CFL but his advice from Glenn has been to take it step by step and so right now he is just focused on playing university football following high school graduation. He describes himself as a player who likes to be aggressive, saying he always likes to be in on the play, matter where the ball is. Kevin Groulx, 17, was a leading scorer last season with the Stittsville Royals of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League while also playing some games with the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). He hopes to play regularly for the 67’s this

coming season and so his off-season training includes not only working out with a skating coach and playing in a summer hockey league but also working out under Glenn Kulka at Complete Athletics. He says that in his earlier minor hockey days, he did not realize how important dryland training is in allowing a player to improve. He adds that he has a great relationship with Glenn. A grade 12 student at Sacred Heart High School, he wants to be a full time player with the 67’s this coming season, having a good season and helping the team make the playoffs. From his exposure to OHL hockey last season, he knows that the play there is quicker than at the Royals’ Junior B level. In addition, he acknowledges that the goalies in the OHL are much better. He also notes that the players are faster and bigger in the OHL with all players finishing their hits. Kevin wants to have a good OHL career and be drafted so that he can play professional hockey. Tyler Young, 18, who graduated from Sacred Heart High School in June and is off to Carleton University this fall to study criminology and also play football for the revived Carleton Ravens, opted to work out under Glenn Kulka’s tutelage and his emphasis on strength and speed. He is an offensive tackle, a position that he loves. That’s because he has always been a big guy and as an offensive tackle, he gets to hit other players. He has played one season with the Sacred Heart Huskies, four seasons with the Myers

Riders and a year in the Quebec Junior Football League. He has also played twice provincially for Team Ontario, serving as a team captain in his second year with the team. Tyler recognizes the importance of both strength and footwork in becoming a complete athlete and player. He is particularly looking forward to being part of the group that re-creates a football tradition at Carleton University starting this fall. Tyler’s ultimate dream is to play profession-

al football, believing that at the end of his Carleton career, he should be an even stronger and more powerful player. And already he stands 6 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs 288 pounds. He likes working with Glenn, noting that the trainer is someone who has done it all athletically in his career. He likes how Glenn emphasizes strength and speed and what is needed to succeed in sports. “He really pushes me,” he says about Glenn.

Villagefest ‘13 soon John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Classical Dixieland music will be floating over Village Square Park in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 7. That’s because Cuppa Soup, a Dixieland music band that has been active in the Ottawa area since 1988, raising funds for soup kitchens and food banks, will be performing at the annual Villagefest event hosted and organized by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). But this will be only one of the entertainment attractions at this year’s Villagefest which will be using the Park’s station building at its performance area. SVA director Marion Gullock, one of those on this year’s Villagefest organizing committee, said that the decision to use the station as the performance area rather than bringing in a stage was made so that the entertainment would be closer to the audience, giving a more intimate,

dare we say, “village” feel to it. Another performer at this year’s Villagefest will be Yoshi Chladny, a juggler par excellence. A native of Ottawa, he mastered his craft when he trained and coached at L’ecole de Cirque de Verdun in the circus capital of Canada, Montreal. He has performed with the Equestrian Circus production Cabrioles in Saguenay, Quebec and has also appeared on television. There will also be other performers whose appearances are yet to be confirmed. But the entertainment will be only part of the excitement at this year’s Villagefest Big Sky Ranch of Kemptville will be on hand with an assortment of animals. It is the only non-kill animal sanctuary of its kind in Eastern Ontario which works with many kinds of animals. So you don’t know exactly what animals you will see at their display at Villagefest. But they will all be animals that Big Sky Ranch has rehabilitated from abuse

or injury or who have been abandoned by owners. Villagefest plans also include a classic car show as well as wagon hay rides along the Trans Canada Trail. And there will be games for youngsters like noodle hockey, sack races, egg-on-spoon races and croquet golf. There will also be clothesline art for youngsters to enjoy. It’s all meant to provide an opportunity for Stittsville residents to drop into Village Square Park and have a good time, not only enjoying all of the activities going on but also to enjoy chatting and visiting with friends and neighbours whom they might not have seen over the summer. Villagefest is a celebration meant to kick off the fall season in Stittsville. Villagefest 2013 will be taking place on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in the heart of Stittsville.

No poll, referendum about casino Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet asked the province if it would allow two gambling sites in Ottawa, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect him to undertake a poll or referendum in the meantime. In a recent interview, Mayor Jim Watson again dismissed the idea of gauging public support for expanding gaming options in Ottawa. On Aug. 26, city councillors are set to discuss whether to pursue two gambling zones for Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that maintains the existing slots and approved gaming tables at the Rideau Carleton Raceway, and another zone that would allow a new casino in another location in the city. But some councillors, including Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, have expressed concern that decisions about expanding gaming options in Ottawa are being made in the absence of a true sense of the

publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion on the issue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is conďŹ rmation of a pre-determined outcome that we want more gaming in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Deans said after the July 17 council vote to continue the discussion at the ďŹ nance and economic development committee. She noted the city should do more consultation on the matter before coming to that conclusion. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why she voted in favour of sending the matter to FEDco on Aug. 26. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the way the mayor sees it. Watson has been receiving a great deal of feedback in other ways, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s through letters, social media or simply people stopping him on the street and at the mall. A poll would only take a sample of a few hundred people, the mayor said, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already heard from around a thousand people. Alternately, a referendum would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;an easy way for politicians to duck out of making tough decisions themselves,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. City council will ultimately have to make

‘Agility’ sums it all up John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Agility. The very word implies ease and grace of movement, at least according to the Oxford Canadian Dictionary. It’s a view shared by Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary which defines agility as the state of being readily able to move quickly and easily. And since ensuring that body movement is pain free and easy is a goal of physiotherapist Erin Tighe, it is no surprise that she named her newly opened physiotherapy clinic “Agility Physiotherapy and Sports Injury.” She feels that “agility” sums up in one word what her clinic’s goal is – to help people move easily and without pain. And to do this, she espouses a movement-based, more active approach to treatment rather than a passive approach. Erin, who has been a physiotherapist for 11 years, says that people today want to be more active and want to be pain-free when being active. She brings much of her more active approach to treatment from her experience treating members of the military. Her husband is in the armed forces and so on his postings, she would end up working as a physiotherapist treating solders. And the military’s

approach to physiotherapy revolved around an active, quick-results attitude. Members of the military want the problem figured out quickly and then treated quickly so that they can get back to work quickly. This “quick back to work” approach demands an active attitude to treatment. Erin feels that with her experience in such an environment, she has these active treatment skills to offer to patients seeking treatment in her new clinic which opened in early July. She decided to lease premises at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive because she thought the surrounding area was underserviced with regard to local physiotherapy clinics. In addition, she is aware of the residential growth that is to take place in the coming years in Stittsville’s Fernbank lands to the north and west of the Walmart shopping area. She believes that her new Agility Physiotherapy and Sports Injury clinic will provide area residents with a clinic that is close by and easy to access, an important consideration for someone suffering from movement pain. Erin is a great advocate of the benefit of movement assessments. She says that everyone, be they a hockey player, biker or just plain walker,

should have a movement assessment to determine if the body is moving as it should. She says that the injury risk for a person increases when the body is not moving as it should. Erin’s clinic has spacious premises which includes not only some weight equipment and massage and treatment beds but also a spacious gym area which she says is essential as it allows for agility drills, for running and jumping drills, for balance work and for even simple drills like rolling over. In addition, she heeded the advice of others who have opened physiotherapy clinics and opted to lease larger rather than smaller space. This is because these others told her that their one regret was that they did not start off with enough space to accommodate future growth. Erin’s plans forecast five physiotherapists or perhaps four physiotherapists and one massage therapist working in the clinic at any one time. This means five patients there at one time, each receiving personalized treatment from a physiotherapist or massage therapist. Her currently spacious premises will be perfectly sized for this patient load in the future. While she acknowledges that it will probably take a couple of years of hard work to reach such a situation, she knows that already her patient load is increasing. Eric Tur-

Special to the News

News - Want to know about your agility? If so, then Agility Physiotherapy and Sports Injury clinic is the place that you should be this Saturday afternoon, Aug. 10. That’s because this new physiotherapy clinic at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive will be providing free movement assessments to those who attend its grand opening open house celebration this Saturday from 12 noon to 5 p.m. These movement screenings examine a person’s ability to move. Drills to determine balance, stability and left/right symmetry are among the seven drills that are part of these screenings. At the end, the participant will receive a score and the risk of potential injury from movement. Participants of all ages including children are welcome to undergo such a screening. In addition, there will be a chance to try yoga and pilates. While not a regular offering at the Agility Physiotherapy and Sports Injury clinic, these two popular activities are being brought in for the grand opening so that people can have an opportunity to try them out if they want. There will be snacks available for those who drop in at the grand opening afternoon. Those attending will also have an

opportunity not only to look around the spacious premises but also will have the opportunity to talk with owner and physiotherapist Erin Tighe. There will be free passes for Goodlife Fitness given away as well. Everyone is invited to drop by this grand opening, anytime from 12 noon to 5 p.m. this Saturday, Aug. 10.

cotte, another physiotherapist, will be starting at the end of August on a two times a week basis. A massage therapist, Brent Whiteley, is slated to come on board working three evenings a week, also at the end of August. She expects to conduct interviews for other physiotherapists in the early fall. Patients for this Agility Physiotherapy and Sports Injury clinic do not need a referral from a doctor. Some insurance does coverage physiotherapy treatments. New patients receive an hour long assessment that checks movement and other characteristics. Based on the findings of this assessment, a program is developed. Of course, Agility Physiotherapy and Sports Injury provides all of the physiotherapy required following an operation for a traumatic injury or for something like a hip replacement. Erin emphasizes that personal attention to the needs of individual patients is a foremost concern at the clinic. Every patient receives “one on one” treatment and will always see the same therapist, ensuring a continuity of care. Erin, a mother of four who lives in the Ashton area but hopes to move to Stittsville at some point since this is where her children’s schooling and activities take place, is no stranger to Stittsville as she has been visiting relatives in

‘Blackwell’ music rings out over fairgrounds John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - “I’m here for the party.” This phrase was among the lyrics sang by Braiden Turner, lead singer of the country music trio Blackwell, to open up the group’s performance at the free concert at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Thursday evening, Aug. 1. The phrase was part of the song “Here for the Party,” a song best associated with American country music singer Gretchen Wilson. But the phrase was appropriate because it forecast what was to happen in the ensuing 90 minute long concert, sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with Rural West Recreation of the city of Ottawa – it was a musical party with tunes ranging from original compositions to songs made famous by such country music singers as Keith Urban, Shania Twain, Luke Bryan and Reba McEntire to a classic country song that is forever associated with Patsy Cline. Among the reasons to party as well, besides the music, was the fact that it was a sunny evening under a blue sky, a great turnaround from most of the day which saw periods of torrential rain in the morning and rain into the early afternoon. So, for the crowd of 175 sitting in their lawn chairs in the lush green grass of the fairgrounds, listening to the sounds of Blackwell, it was an idyllic summer evening – a great setting for a musical party. One of the early songs in the performance was Blackwell’s rendition of “You Belong With Me,” Taylor Swift’s 2009 country pop song. Then there was “Fishin’ in the Dark,” the

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 1987 hit that reached number one in the United States and also topped Canada’s country music charts. And there was more. A Keith Urban song, Shania Twain’s “I’m Gonna Getcha Good” from her 2002 album “Up!” which was her first number one single in Canada, a Luke Bryan tune, and a Reba McEntire song, among others. And what party would be complete without a classic country song or two and so the audience got to hear and enjoy Braiden Turner’s rendi-

tion of “I Fall To Pieces,” Patsy Cline’s 1961 hit that has become a country music standard. But another hit from the past which made an impression on the audience was Jerry Reed’s “East Bound and Down,” the theme from the hit 1977 movie “Smokey and the Bandit.” Its iconic rhythm even got Gary Thompson in the audience to grab his “spoons” from his vehicle and begin playing them on his thigh, albeit briefly. Blackwell was backed up by two guitar players and a drummer for this performance, with

For those who missed this Aug. 1st concert by Blackwell or for those who were there and want to hear more of their blend of country rock, pop and ballads, the group will be back at the Richmond fairgrounds on Saturday, Sept. 21, performing at the annual Richmond Fair. This free concert featuring Blackwell was the first of a series of four free consecutive Thursday evening concerts sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with Rural West Recreation of the city of Ottawa. This Thursday, Aug. 8, the Richmond fairgrounds will again be the site for the second in this series of free concerts, this time featuring Heartbeats, an Ottawa area rock ‘n roll show band that specializes in the songs of the 1950’s and 1960’s. On Thursday, Aug. 15, the scene of these free Thursday evening concerts will shift to Village Square Park in Stittsville where Sidewinder will perform. And then to cap off the series, the Mick Armitage Band will be performing at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 22. All of these Thursday evening concerts in August are running from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. There is a cash-only BBQ held before all of the concerts, starting at 6 p.m. at each site. All funds raised by these BBQs will go to support local youth initiatives. Those attending these concerts are reminded to take along a lawn chair or blanket for seating.

Pre-school program being started at Andrew Fleck Child Care Centre John Curry

News - More child care is coming to the Andrew Fleck Child Care Services centre at Stittsville Public School. Beginning in September, this Andrew Fleck Child Care Centre will be offering a pre-school program. Renovations are nearing completion to convert space to make it suitable for the younger pre-school age group of 2.5 to 3.8 years of age. This retrofitting involves replacing toilets and sinks, providing more storage and basically making the space more appropriate for the smaller-bodied pre-schoolers. Kitchen improvements are taking place for serving the breakfasts, lunches and snacks required by the pre-schoolers. In addition to these physical renovations to the space at the Andrew Fleck Child Care Centre at Stittsville Public School, funding from the city of Ottawa is allowing for the purchase of new toys and equipment appropriate for a preschool program. While this new pre-school program is being introduced this September with a licensed capacity of 32 children, this Andrew Fleck Child

Stock car racing goes back to 1949 Special to the News

Sports - Stock car racing is happening again this year at the Capital City Speedway off highway seven west of Stittsville. Capital City Speedway is considered a true short speedway that requires driver finesse and ability to get around. It offers close quarter bump and grind, true grit driver determination. Racing at the Capital City Speedway from May through the beginning of September takes place on Wednesday nights. This year, each evening of rac-

ing features stock car racing by Late Models, Thunder Cars, Mini Stocks, Legends and 4-Fun Vehicles. Each racing night during the season also has a special feature of some sort, ranging from Dinardo’s Kart Class to a 100 lap Enduro race to a appearance by the Vintage Modifieds. Summer Slam 2013 on Saturday, Sept. 7, wrapping up the season, will include a national qualifier 30 lap Legends Race as well as a Demolition Derby, among other races and attractions. Stock car racing in the Ottawa

area goes back almost 65 years, with much of it happening at the Capital City Speedway. It was on a track cut out of a farmer’s field near Carsonby that stock car racing began in the Ottawa area in 1949. However, this location was abandoned after only one season. A second attempt to launch stock car racing in the area happened a year or two later when a dirt track with banked corners called Meadow Park Speedway was set up in a field just west of Bells Corners. However, support was sporadic and it folded but the experience of these two ru-

Care Centre will continue to offer its school age extended day program., using shared school space in the school itself. This introduction of a pre-school program at this Andrew Fleck Child Care Centre at Stittsville Public School increases the choice for parents seeking such programming. Andrew Fleck Child Care Services believes in providing quality, non-profit child care services through its facilities and now Stittsville will have such a complete offering of these services. There’s the school’s full day kindergarten, there’s the extended day program provided by Andrew Fleck Child Care and there’s this new pre-school program. The new pre-school program is not yet full but program coordinator Nancy Power-Fardy is quite content with this, believing that it is better to grow the program slowly, integrating children along the way. In addition, she acknowledges that previous uncertainty about when the program might begin (it’s now set for Tuesday, Sept. 3, the first day of school) and also the unfinished nature of the premises may have held back possible registrations.

ral locations had shown that a more central location was required if stock car racing was to become part of the Ottawa sporting scene. This happened when the first evening of stock car racing was held at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa on June 1, 1955, with the track set up around the outside of the football field. More than 5,000 fans attended that first night of racing on the quarter mile dirt oval which was a former horse racing track. By 1956, more than 40 local cars and drivers were registered with the Lansdowne Park Stock Car Racing Club for the weekly racing every Wednesday evening. After the first two successful seasons, race promoter Gerry Bisson

See NEW PROGRAM, page 40

worked with the Central Canada Exhibition Association, operators of Lansdowne Park, to implement some improvements at what was then known as Lansdowne Speedway. The track was lengthened to one-third of a mile in length and was widened to 40 feet with increased banking on the corners. The track was paved and a highway-style guard rail was installed around the track’s perimeter. All these improvements were accompanied by a new and more extensive set of safety rules. The racing included a variety of special attractions as well, such as late model events, sprint races, power pull races and demolition derbies. See SPEEDWAY, page 55

New program in September Who was Andrew Fleck? Continued from page 39

She says that parents like to be able to see what a program is like and how it runs before enrolling their children in a program. Since this is a new program and renovations have been taking place, this has not been possible and so some parents have taken a wait and see attitude. Of course, pre-school programming is nothing new for Andrew Fleck Child Care Services as it has offered a pre-school program at its downtown Ottawa location since 1932. It believes in hiring quality staff and providing staff compensation and benefits that retain this staff. Indeed, the Stittsville centre has retained virtually all of its staff since opening at Stittsville Public School in 2006. Andrew Fleck Child Care Services also views its relationship with parents as a partnership. Each child has a portfolio which documents their skills development and learning. Kate Carradine, manager of the group care

program for Andrew Fleck Child Care Services, says that it is the parent who knows a child the best so it is important that there be input and advice from the parent to ensure the child’s success in the program. Andrew Fleck Child Care Services, established in 1911, is one of the oldest and most diversified non-profit charitable multi-service early learning, child care and family support organizations in Ontario. It operates programs in six locations across the city, providing child care, information, support and early years services to over 4,300 children and 27,000 families each year. The organization attributes its success to a commitment to excellence, innovation and inclusion. Andrew Fleck Child Care Services started providing programs at Stittsville Public School when the new Granite Ridge Drive school opened in 2006. These programs since that time have included kindergarten and school age programs.

An Ottawa philanthropist Special to the News

News - Child care programming at Stittsville Public School is provided by Andrew Fleck Child Care Services, a longtime Ottawa-based organization. But just who was Andrew Fleck? Ottawa author Valerie Knowles, in her book “Capital Lives: Profiles of 32 Leading Ottawa Personalities (Volume 2),” told about the Ottawa businessman and philanthropist after whom the organization is now named. It was his wife, Gertrude Fleck, who in 1931 announced that she was donating a brand new headquarters building for the then-Ottawa Day Nursery, a public day nursery with

which she and her late husband had long been associated. It was only in 1970, though, that the Ottawa Day Nursery was renamed as the Andrew Fleck Child Care Centre. Andrew Fleck was born in Montreal in 1848, the son of a wealthy businessman. As a youth, he moved to Ottawa, working in an iron foundry established by his father. He then entered the lumbering business, eventually working for the legendary J.R. Booth, helping to manage some of his lumber mills. Andrew Fleck then went on to manage J.R. Booth’s Canada Atlantic Railway. He was also involved in the construction of Booth’s Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway.

J.R. Booth was not only Andrew Fleck’s employer but also his father-in-lawn as Andrew Fleck’s wife was Booth’s eldest daughter Gertrude. They had four children. After the turn of the century, Andrew Fleck began to devote much of his time to philanthropic interests. Besides the Ottawa Day Nursery, he was also involved in the County of Carleton General Protestant Hospital, one of three institutions that eventually formed the Ottawa Civic Hospital. He was also interested in the work of the Canadian Red Cross and in the St. John Ambulance Association. Andrew Fleck died suddenly in 1924.

Capital City Speedway - Action on track and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Motor-Mouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s earned the nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor-Mouthâ&#x20AC;? and with good reason. His mouth never stops motoring. And while the roar of stock cars of various shapes and sizes and speeds drifts from the Capital City Speedway track just west of Stittsville each Wednesday evening during the summer, it is the constant chatter that comes from the second storey announcerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booth and, more specifically, from Brian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor-Mouthâ&#x20AC;? Goudge that really makes a night at these races not only entertaining and fun but also memorable. And so it was on Wednesday, July 31 when the 600 fans or so at the Speedway got to enjoy not only the action on the track but also the sounds in the air â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the roar of the racers going past the grandstand and the accompanying chatter from â&#x20AC;&#x153;MotorMouth.â&#x20AC;? This was a special night at Capital City Speedway, namely CHEO Fundraiser Night, when fans got the opportunity at the half time intermission to go down on the track and toss a golf ball at a flag and hole set up out in the grass infield. A ball was available for a $5 donation to CHEO. And there was more â&#x20AC;&#x201C; race fans could sign the hood of driver Derek Horsleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 24 car which has a hood that is virtually all CHEO logo. Again, a $5 donation to CHEO and the pen for signing was all yours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor-Mouth,â&#x20AC;? using a mobile mike (no intermission break for him on this night) down on the track, turned into an auctioneer as he raffled off trips around the track in that eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yellow Tesla all-electric car supplied by Dymon Self Storage which was serving as the pace

car for the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races. A Tesla electric car, by the way, can run for four hours on a charge. It can go up to 220 kilometers per hour in speed and can accelerate from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds. It deserves to be on the Speedway track. A total of $155 (one bid of $55 and two of $50 each) was raised for CHEO in this auction and off went the winners in the Tesla vehicle

driven by Dymonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brent Wilson for some quick laps around the track â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all soundless because the Tesla, as an electric vehicle, is quiet when performing. And even Thunder Cat, the Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mascot, got into the act, getting a trip around the track in the Tesla. The winner in the golf ball toss, coming closest to the hole, was Paul Lalonde who collected the $250 cash

prize. This was the third year that the Speedway, under the management team headed by Todd Gow, had had a fundraising evening for CHEO. This was the second year for a golf ball toss. It was at 7 p.m., 15 minutes before the scheduled beginning of racing, that the voice of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor-Mouthâ&#x20AC;? Brian Goudge rang out over the Speed-

way stands, track and pit area on this sunny, warm evening, welcoming fans to the site and immediately plugging the CHEO golf ball toss happening that evening along with the six race classes that were scheduled to happen on the track. And he was back at the mike at 7:15 p.m., keeping up a steady barrage of comments, descriptions and verbal plugs throughout the rest of the event. Once â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor-Mouthâ&#x20AC;? gets revved up, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s off and running. So, there he was, welcoming the race fans watching in the beer garden; plugging Dymon Self Storage and its seven locations in Ottawa; welcoming longtime race fan Wayne Young; expounding on the Tesla allelectric, soundless car that was the Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pace car on this particular evening; urging the purchase of golf balls to support CHEO; describing Leo Poirierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car being towed off the track; praising the Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poutine; lamenting the predicatment of Justin Holtomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s late model car No. 17 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good sign when you see a puff of smoke like that, he explained; and on and on it went â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when â&#x20AC;&#x153;Motor-Mouthâ&#x20AC;? gets going, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no towing him away from the microphone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at these four lead cars,â&#x20AC;? Motor-Mouth exclaims in describing the late model action on the track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at those front four cars â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a string right now.â&#x20AC;? And how did it end? Let MotorMouth tell you: â&#x20AC;&#x153;How about it. Tim Kirby for the win.â&#x20AC;? And then when the Thunder cars were out on the track, Motor-Mouth was right there with them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here they come off of four (corner),â&#x20AC;? he describes, listing off the drivers as they zoom by the grandstand. Going into the final lap, he tells how driver Todd Musker â&#x20AC;&#x153;set sail,â&#x20AC;? going on to victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow, all right,â&#x20AC;? Motor-Mouth concluded. And on it went â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one race after another â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kyle Baker in the minstock class taking the checkered flag. A special demonstration race by the open-wheeled dirt sportsman cars, used to racing on dirt but racing on asphalt at the Speedway for this night, with their front wheels sometimes lifting off the track. Matt Haufe battling Chris Zieren in the Legends class, closing the gap between them on each lap but with Chris Zieren keeping the â&#x20AC;&#x153;hammer to the floor,â&#x20AC;? according to Motor-Mouth, and winning the race. At Capital City Speedway, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss any of the action because Motor-Mouth is there, just like has been virtually every year since 1986, telling you what is happening. Among the racers are a number with Stittsville connections. Matt Haufe, driving car No. 7 in the Legends class, is leading the points race in that class this season going into the July 31st action and hopes to be off to the U.S. championships later this year. He notes that tweaking the suspension and other things during the course of the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing is important. See STOCK CAR RACING, page 44

Stock car racing at Capital City Speedway Continued from page 42

For instance, as the evening goes on, the pavement of the track cools and grips more. That means that an adjustment has to be made with the car to compensate for this. Matt is usually joined in the Legends class by his brother Brad in car No. 17 but Brad recently blew out his carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engine, so he is sidelined for a while.

Trevor Hartwick of Stittsville Trailers has been racing himself for ten years but he remembers going to the Speedway as a youngster with his dad Orville. Trevor started racing Thunder cars but is now in the mini-stocks class which Stittsville Trailers sponsors. He points out that with all of the warm ups, heats and feature races in an evening, a driver and car end up going about at least 40 kilometers on any race evening. He says that this is

hard driving that is probably the equivalent of going 4,000 kilometers in regular street driving. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why, he says, everything has to be checked for each racing night so ensure that a part is not worn out from previous use. When Trevor started out in the Thunder car class, he drove car No. 23. But when he switched to the mini-stocks, the car that he acquired had No. 13 already on it. Since he was not having much luck with the 23 number and since the number â&#x20AC;&#x153;3â&#x20AC;? is prominent in the birthdates of both himself and his father, he opted to adopt the No. 13 number. Kyle Baker, now a Richmond resident but who grew up in Stittsville, is another who was exposed to Capital City Speedway as a youngster, attending with his dad Jim who now helps him out in the pit.

Kyle races in the mini-stock class, last year winning five features. But he admits that he has had some bad luck this year and has not done as well. He has been at the Speedway racing for six years now, running car No. 82. He admits that he is always tinkering with his car, making little adjustments here and there in the hopes of going faster on the track. He says that such tinkering is just something that â&#x20AC;&#x153;goes with the territoryâ&#x20AC;? with stock car racers. Kyle notes that car sponsors are very important and says that he would probably not be able to race were it not for his sponsors. In his case, his sponsors are local such as Kellco Car Care, Laurysen Kitchens and real estate agent Julie Bazinet. See CAPITAL CITY, page 51

Capital City Speedway just west of Stittsville Continued from page 44

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Todd Gow, right, president of Capital City Speedway, presents Paul Lalonde, centre, with his winning prize of $250 for being the closest to the hole in the CHEO fundraiser golf ball toss which was held at the Speedway just west of Stittsville on Wednesday evening, July 31 as Thunder Cat, right, the Speedwayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mascot, looks on.

Legends car racer Chris Zieren from Stittsville is another who remembers going to Capital City Speedway when he was younger with his dad. He says that this exposure as a youngster got him into racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what started the itch,â&#x20AC;? he says. He remarks that he remembers watching Dave Riopelle race when younger and now he ďŹ nds himself racing with Dave in the Legends car class. He started in 2001, racing go karts for eight years before wanting a more competitive environment and started racing in the Legends class at Capital City Speedway. This is now his fourth year racing which he does not only at Capital City Speedway on Wednesdays but also at a New York State track every Saturday where he won the championship last year. Chris says that a stock car racer has to be on their game, as it were, every single week. He says that there is not a lot of room for error in racing while noting that experience is a big factor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seat time is big,â&#x20AC;? he says. Chris says that every week of racing is different and a racer never knows what to expect in a race. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always an element of surprise, he says. Chris decided that this was a year to give back and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing something for the Make-A-Wish Foundation this season. A percentage of his sponsor dollars are going to this charity. In addition, he has a website www.raceforawish.com on which people can donate, with all of these online proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Foundation. Derek Horsley, who drives car No. 24, is in his rookie year driving in the late model class, having previously raced in the Four For Fun class and the Thunder car class. His car has a giant logo and promotion for CHEO on its hood. Derek has a buddy whose business has a tie in with CHEO through the Cars For Kids program and so Derek put the CHEO logo on his carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hood as a favour to his buddy. Derek says that he may donate the CHEO logo hood to CHEO at the end of the season. The hood was signed by Speedway race fans at the Wednesday, July 31 fundraiser, with them paying $5 for the privilege of doing so.

First Stittsville soap box derby in 1971 tor for the village of Stittsville at the time. His father, Bert Hall, who was the recreation director for the town of Arnprior, had held similar soap box derbys and that is where Richard got the idea. His suggestion was taken up and thus began what was to become a longtime annual tradition in Stittsville, a tradition which was resumed with the revival of the event for Village Fest 2007 and a few subsequent years. Right from the start Marion Gullock and her husband, Bill, were involved with the soap box derby. Their son Andrew was one of the first participants. In the early years of these soap box derbys, as many as 35 youngsters would enter the event. Over the years, the number of entrants declined, even when the Stittsville Legion, which ultimately became the sponsor of the event, had two soap boxes built for use by any youngster who wanted to race. In the early years of soap box racing in Stittsville, though, it was much more than a one-day activity as the village youngsters would play with their soap boxes all summer long. It mattered little to them that Stittsville had a lack of suitable hills. They simply had a friend run along behind with a push pole, propelling

the soap box along. These early soap boxes were made of anything that ran. Tricycles were a popular component of these early homemade soap boxes. So too were baby carriage wheels which were in high demand throughout the village each summer. Any soap boxes which got damaged or smashed up in the playing with them before the racing day would undergo numerous repairs before race day. In addition, last minute repairs and renovations were commonplace. One year, for instance, Andrew Gullock raced in a soap box that did not even have its paint dry. The village was lucky in that Carleton Street (now Carleton Cathcart Street), with the best hill in the community, was paved almost all of the way down, allowing it to be the site for the derby. The only time that the site for the soap box derby was changed in these early years was when the sewer and water services were being installed in the village at the end of the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Carleton Street was ripped up at derby time, so for that year, the derby was switched to Hobin Street west of Second Avenue where there is a hill. In the early years, the Stittsville Legion supplied one of the trophies for the soap box derby. However, the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Speedway has been home of stock car racing in Ottawa area since 1961 Lansdowne Speedway increased in popularity, with additional races held on Fridays and Saturdays, drawing competitors from Montreal and upper New York State as well as the local drivers. This lasted for three more summers but the noise caused by the racing from May through to the end of September resulted in public pressure to end the racing at this location. In addition, there were plans being made to replacing the north side grandstand with the Ottawa Civic Centre and to construct a southside stands. This would mean that

there would be no more race track. The last evening of racing at Lansdowne Speedway took place on August 17, 1960. With no more racing at Lansdowne Park, promoter Gerry Bisson undertook the construction of a new, then7,&2

Continued from page 39

state-of-the-art race track on the new highway seven west of Stittsville. This marked a return of stock car racing to a rural setting but the Lansdowne Park years had grown interest in stock car racing in the Ottawa area and so there were sufficient fans to

ensure success at a rural setting. The new Capital City Speedway opened for business in 1961 and has been operating ever since despite ownership changes and even name changes, although the original name is once again back in use.

recreation department remained as the early sponsor of the event. With the formation of the new amalgamated township of Goulbourn in 1974, the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreation department was taken over by the new townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration. This new township-wide recreation department showed no interest in sponsoring the derby, so the Stittsville Legion took over the sponsorship, retaining it until the derby ceased being held in the late 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Bill Gullock, who along with his wife Marion was involved with the soap box derby in the early years, died in March, 1973. It was decided at that time to honour him for his work with the derby and for recreation in the village in general that the soap box derby would be named the Bill Gullock Memorial Soap Box Derby, a name which it carried through to the end and which is now being carried on with a memorial race in the Turpin Soap Box Derby. It was Bill Gullock, for instance, who stored the first starting ramp for the soap box derby which really was a double of table tops donated by the Legion. Over the years, the soap boxes became more sophisticated. The old tricycle and baby carriage wheels gave

way to hard rubber wheels with ball bearings. Consequently, the winning times improved. Tony Mitchelson even introduced a timing mechanism for the races for a couple of years, adding a further dimension to the event. But since its start, the soap box derby was meant to be, as Marion Gullock puts it, a fun thing for the kids of the village. This is the spirit in which the race has been held over the years, being the same spirit which generated those organization efforts which led to the first soap box derby in 1971. And it was co-ed right from the beginning, with Barbara Gullock and Sharon Cathcart among the first girls to compete in the soap box derbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early years. In 1982, a new adult class was introduced, something which turned out to be a shortlived experiment. This adult class was for any adults who dared to go down the course. Altogether, nine adults took part in this adult race which was run after the regular races, using soap boxes supplied by the youngsters. Taking part in this 1982 adult race were Yves Gregoire, Tom Dufayette, Rick Neitzel, Allan Shaw, John Curry, Tony Mitchelson, Paul Rautenberg, Mary Pope and Kathy Rautenberg.

Mary Pope emerged as the winner in the class, beating John Curry in the final. The 1982 soap box derby was also memorable for having the most crashes or spinouts of any derby for quite some time. In one race, Matthew Lessard, racing against David Janssen, was thrown from his soap box, with the soap box shooting across the street, driver-less. The soap box derby continued until 1997, although participation dropped off in the later years. The Stittsville Legion, with its starting ramp and couple of soap boxes available to any youngster, continued to be involved right to the end. The annual soap box derby was revived in 2007, taking place on the Abbott Street hill just east of Village Square Park. It was held as part of the annual Villagefest activities with the late Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke as its major driving force but the Stittsville Village Association, organizer of Villagefest, decided to case involvement with soap boxes a couple of years ago. The six soap boxes which Mike Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Rourke had built for use in the event were sold to a group in Manotick and Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soap box derby history ended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least for now.

2013 Richmond Fair - Sept. 19-22 -

News - The year 1971 was when the first-ever soap box derby was held in Stittsville. Ten soap boxes took part in the racing on the Carleton Street (now Carleton Cathcart Street) hill in August, 1971. Two trophies were up for grabs, one for grand champion and one for the best built soap box. These early soap box races were not sanctioned by any soap box association or body. Rather, the races grew out of an increasingly popular summertime pastime by village youngsters, namely building soap boxes and then driving them along village streets, pushed by the push power of other youngsters. For the first soap box derby in 1971, judges Bert Nevers and Stittsville village reeve Ab Black chose Michael Durlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soap box as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;best builtâ&#x20AC;?. Barry Moffatt won the grand champion trophy, edging out Randy Biggs in the finals. Other participants in this inaugural soap box derby in Stittsville were Danny Gracey, Danny Gallant, Tim Kirby, Richard Cartwright, Danny Parent, Danny Quinn and Andrew Gullock. The holding of a soap box derby in Stittsville was first suggested by Richard Hall who was the recreation direc-

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories

Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s war on houseflies was on for another year

This time of year, Mother engaged in a never-ending battle with the houseďŹ&#x201A;y. She thought every ďŹ&#x201A;y on earth was put there to carry germs and contaminate whatever surface it happened to land on. Many of our neighbours hung strips of sticky stuff from their ceilings, but Mother would have no part of them. Most of these strips were hung over the kitchen tables, since that seemed to be where the ďŹ&#x201A;ies accumulated, and if one ďŹ&#x201A;y ever had the misfortune of falling off and landing on the oil cloth, or heaven forbid, a piece of food, the entire table would have to be cleared, scoured and whatever food it neared, scraped into Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dog dish at the back door! The strips were never used in our kitchen. Every summer Father hauled the screen door from the drive shed where it had been stored over winter, and he hung it with a tight spring attached. In fact, the spring, on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insistence, was so taut that if you werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quick enough getting into the house, you could lose a leg. That was just another way of mak-

ing sure a stray ďŹ&#x201A;y didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in with us. There was never enough money to buy ďŹ&#x201A;y swatters, and Mother insisted we each have one, so they were homemade. Fashioned out of narrow slats of wood, with layers of green cheese cloth, or sometimes very ďŹ ne screening attached on the end between more small slats, the swatters worked just ďŹ ne. They were stationed on the bench at the back door, and each of us was commanded to have ours at the ready, just in case a ďŹ&#x201A;y managed to enter the house while we came in. In the summertime, any food on the bake table, prepared for our next meal, was covered with spanking clean ďŹ&#x201A;our bag tea towels. And when the bowls were moved over to the kitchen table, the towels stayed put. It was like a mystery trying to decide which mound of white held the meat, potatoes or vegetables. Father thought Mother went too far when it came to the common houseďŹ&#x201A;y. He insisted the Haneman family had managed to survive in spite of them for generations. Mother said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a miracle in itself.â&#x20AC;? She pointed out to Father all he had to do was go out to the cow byre and see the swarms of ďŹ&#x201A;ies covering the cowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backsides and the manure. He would know what, if ďŹ&#x201A;ies were allowed inside, was brought into the house where the very food we were putting in our mouths was there for the taking. At least once a week Mother had what we called her murderous attack on the common houseďŹ&#x201A;y. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how careful we were, how quickly we slammed the screen door, how diligent we were with the swatters, the ďŹ&#x201A;ies always managed to come into the house. And when Mother couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand it any longer, she would announce at the breakfast table that this was the day. She would

Friendship Club luncheon Carole Herbert and Helen James Special to the News

The next Friendship Club luncheon will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 28 at noon at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville. Entertain-

ment will be provided by â&#x20AC;&#x153;Charles.â&#x20AC;? To reserve a place at this luncheon, please call Gloria at 613-831-8819 or Rosemary at 613-836-6354 before Friday, Aug. 23. The Friendship Club is planning a day trip to Almonte on Thursday, Aug. 22. The bus will leave the

Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena at 10:30 a.m. sharp. The bus will depart from Almonte for the return trip home at 3 p.m. This should be a fun day, with plenty of time to shop and have lunch. At least 30 people must sign up for the trip in order for the trip to happen as these numbers are needed to keep the cost of the bus and driver reasonable. If interested, please call Carole at 613-

cast her eyes around the kitchen, and we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to ask her just what day that would be. We knew without a doubt, it was the day Mother would be attacking the ďŹ&#x201A;ies. That meant no one, not even if the house was on ďŹ re, was allowed inside until Mother was ďŹ nished with what my sister Audrey called â&#x20AC;&#x153;her murderous attack.â&#x20AC;? There was a big tin can of ďŹ&#x201A;y tox in the summer kitchen, and on the shelf was a contraption that had a container at one end, and a handle and cylinder at the other. Mother ďŹ lled the can to capacity, put a white towel around her head, went into the kitchen slamming the doors behind her, and the attack began. I would often look in the kitchen window from my post outside, and there would be Mother furiously pumping the handle into the cylinder and pouring out what would be a burst of foglike spray that hung in the air like gossamer curtains. I have no idea how Mother didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choke to death. We had to wait for ages before anyone was allowed back in the kitchen, and when we were, the grand cleanup began. The newspapers would be taken off the cooled Findlay Oval, rolled up and crammed into its ďŹ re box, Audrey would get the broom, and I stood at the ready with the dust pan, and the sweep-up began. The ďŹ&#x201A;ies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a chance. Audrey would sweep up the dead bodies; I would take the dustpan to the stove, amazed at how many had fallen under Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack. Mother would light a match to the papers in the stove after piling on a couple sticks from the wood box, and soon the Findlay Oval would be raging. The smell of the ďŹ&#x201A;y tox hung in the air for hours, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to bother Mother in the least. The deed was done for a short spell.

Garage sale at Community Bible Church on Saturday, Aug. 17 Continued from page 1

But this garage sale and BBQ on Saturday, Aug. 17 is an essential and vital component of the fundraising needed to allow the trip to Kenya to happen. The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has been partnering with the village of Seje in Kenya since April 2011. The objective of the partnership has been to establish sustainable solutions in agriculture, clean water and education in the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. In addition, villagers as a rule do not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a

geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. Through various fundraisers and support from sponsors, the Community Bible Church in Stittsville has partnered with the community of Seje on several projects already. A school for orphans has been started. Initially supporting two classes, namely junior and senior kindergarten, the school provides quality education, food and health services for orphans. A water system that draws water from a

Projects planned include adding another grade for the school, doubling the capacity of the water system, teaching farming techniques specific to the regional conditions and acquiring four acres of farmland that will be owned and operated by the community, with the agricultural produce primarily used to support the school.

nearby river was built. The system filters and chlorinates the water and then pumps it up a hill into a storage container. The system is solar powered and has distribution lines to sites such as the school. The Seje community volunteered its time to dig over two kilometers of trenches through dry, rocky ground to install the water system. Ten dilapidated huts have been rebuilt. They are the homes of those who are sick or elderly and could not do it themselves. A community centre that serves multiple purposes such as meetings and events is being built. This community centre will also be used as a temporary school facility. The Community Bible Church/Seje partnership has also provided funding to support emergency health needs.

Graduates soar on Husky Wings A loving family, full of support, all about, That’s the first key – we have no doubt. And this pays off big time, we say, Because when it happens, that graduation day, Thanks to the support of their families all the time, These young adults are ready to soar like a tall pine Up, up and away, conquering all things, That’s what happens when you have Husky Wings.

Students who are anxious and eager to learn, we say, Who have interests galore and pursue them with passion, oh yes, But who also know what’s paramount in life, no less, They care for each other, they respect one another, yes sir, They see the image of God in their fellow students, be it a him or a her, They know what’s important, how to treat others each day So you can imagine what will happen in the years that ahead lay, They will be good spouses, good parents, good friends of all things When they graduate and start to soar on their Husky Wings.

When youth enter Sacred Heart’s halls, we say, They find a community filled with love each day Led by the Sacred Heart teachers, dedicated all, Students have their favourites, for sure, it’s their call, But one thing’s for certain, we know for sure, The teachers are all there to help, oh, what a lure, And guide these students in their learning each day What more can we say, It’s no wonder so many students begin to soar in all things Yes, this is what happens when you have Husky Wings.

And add to this all the school’s activities Sports, clubs, activities galore – these are keys The Well Retreat and trips to Europe, no less, All to learn and appreciate and become the best. Going to Nicaragua and even the Shepherds of Good Hope All to put action to their learning, knowing how to cope, It is no wonder that when students fly from the Sacred Heart nest They do so on wings of strength – on Husky Wings – the very best.

And while teachers make all the difference, oh yes, Don’t forget the school’s administrators too, no less, Their efforts create the atmosphere and the energy, all about, That allows learning to occur, without a doubt. They too want every student in the end of things To fly off on their Husky Wings.

So, when you hear a bell that rings, It could mean an angel getting its wings. But when a Sacred Heart graduate on the street you see You know that there before you, by his or her very pedigree, Stands a young adult who is a critical thinker, oh yes, One who knows the Catholic faith, no less, Who wants to help the environment and others as well, Who longs for peace and love and social justice in this world - boy, that’s swell This requires strength, this requires knowledge, this requires character, we say, But most of all this requires a belief in Jesus and His love, each and every day. It takes a lot to fly in today’s world with such an outlook about things, But for Sacred Heart graduates, this is easy – because they have Husky Wings.

Special to the News

News - What it takes to graduate was summed up in a poem written and delivered by Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee John Curry at the annual Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduation ceremony at the Bell Sensplex on Thursday, June 27. Trustee Curry delivered the poem as part of his remarks at the ceremony. Entitled “On Husky Wings,” playing on the name Huskies by which Sacred Heart athletic teams are known, the poem read as follows: ON HUSKY WINGS When a bell rings An angel gets its wings Or at least that’s the story we hear every Christmas like the last Thanks to “It’s A Wonderful Life,” that Jimmy Stewart movie blast. But what about here in Stittsville and, more specifically, here at Sacred Heart What does it take to allow someone to fly a la carte Is it all about ringing bells like in the movie, we say, Or is there something more involved in producing graduates who soar each day. They come to Sacred Heart from here and there, no less, From schools like Guardian Angels, St. Stephen, St. Philip, Holy Spirit and even Jean Paul II, oh yes, Grounded well in their literary and math skills, so swell, And, yes, don’t forget their faith as well. But what, oh what, we wonder and ponder each day Happens at Sacred Heart to give them wings, we say, That let them fly into the future, oh wow, Off they go, after taking a graduation bow, On wings of faith, on wings of learning, on wings of excellence, say no more It’s Husky Wings on which they soar.

And we must not overlook, we say, What is used at Sacred Heart day after day. Those computer resources, those smart boards, and more It’s a modern, up-to-date school right to its core What a great incubator for our youth, oh yes, No wonder they become simply the best, no less, Ready to fly off to make a difference in all things Soaring, of course, on their Husky Wings. And add to this mix, as happens every day,
