EMC news - It’s going to be a first for Stittsville. It’s a Give the Gift of Life Walk in support of the Kidney Foundation which will be happening on Sunday, Sept. 9. While it is an outreach project initiated by the Stittsville United Church’s youth group, it is being planned as an event for everyone in Stittsville. Starting at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street, the walk will go along Stittsville Main Street, going as far as Papa Sam’s at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Beverly Street, where the Walk will turn around and head back the 2.5 kilometers to the Stittsville United Church for a lunch sponsored by Sobeys. All of the churches in Stittsville have been invited to enter a team in this Give the Gift of Life Walk and these church teams will join the walk as it proceeds along Stittsville Main Street, since the route goes right by three churches – St. Thomas Anglican Church, the Community Bible Church and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. But everyone in the community is urged to consider join this Give the Gift of Life Walk, not only to raise funds for the Kidney Foundation but also to increase awareness of kidney disease and organ donation. This first-ever Give the Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville is going to involve more than just the five kilometer walk along Stittsville Main Street. It’s also going to include activities at the Stittsville United Church including an inflatable obstacle course, cotton candy, games, and a Dixieland band. It’s being billed as “Fun Day Sunday.� Registration of teams or individuals for this Give the Gift of Life Walk on Sunday, Sept. 9 will begin at 10 a.m. that day, with the Walk beginning at 11 a.m. This has all come about because of kidney transplant which Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, a member of the Stittsville United Church congregation, received thanks to a friend’s husband last December. At that time, the congregation held a kidney information event at which church members learned more about kidney disease. Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, who is the Walk Ambassador for the upcoming Give the Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville, learned that she had polycystic kidney disease five years ago and was just about to start kidney dialysis when her kidney transplant came about. Of the 548 kidney transplants performed last year in Ontario, Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst’s was one of 208 to come from a living donor. “It’s all in the human spirit,� Elizabeth says. “It’s amazing what people will do in difficult times to support each other.� See WALK, page 5

Cross-Canada cyclists pass through Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The “Journey To The Rising Sun� passed through Stittsville on Wednesday, Aug. 1. Three cyclists – Georgia Williams, 19, Louis Plottel, 18, and Graham May, 20 – arrived in Stittsville just after 4 p.m., stopping at the Welcome to Stittsville sign at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road where they enjoyed cake and lemonade provided by the Stittsville News EMC. They left, heading east on Hazeldean Road, at 5:15 p.m. after enjoying a break and visiting the PetroCanada station across the road from the sign to replenish their water supplies. The trio was staying overnight at a Second Avenue home in the Glebe. This cycling trio were being joined in Ottawa by fellow cyclist Cello Mizumoto, 18, who has been with them since starting in Victoria, British Columbia on May 31st. Her bicycle had been damaged earlier in the day and she had to travel ahead to Ottawa

to have it repaired so that she could rejoin her fellow cyclists and continue their cross country bike trip. The “Journey To The Rising Sun� aka the GrassRoutes Tour is a 9000-plus kilometer long west to east cycling journey that six friends decided to undertake as a way of inspiring young people to become leaders in protecting the environment. The cyclists are also collecting donations along the way for a Youth Action Fund that, in partnership with the Environmental Youth Alliance, will support youthled environmental initiatives inspired by the bike tour. About $7,000 has been raised so far. The group started out as six cyclists but one, 19 year old Paul O’Brien, a student at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, left the group in Calgary due to job commitments. He will be rejoining the group in Nova Scotia. Another, 19 year old Oscar Boyd, had to drop out because of a knee problem. See CYCLISTS, page 2

Cyclists overwhelmed by friendliness, generosity Continued from page 1

The six all knew each other from attending a summer program at Pearson College United World College in Victoria. But while they knew each other, planning for this cross Canada cycling tour was not easy because the six are spread around the world: Georgia in Vancouver, Louis attending university in Abu Dhabi in the United Arad Emirates; Cello at the United World College in Costa Rica; Oscar at Oxford in England; Paul in Nova Scotia; and Graham at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. So, planning meetings were conducted in the year leading up to the tour via Skype since they were all at different schools in different parts of the world. Planning involved applying for grants, preparing press releases and arranging for places to stay along the route, among other things. The group did receive a $600 grant from the Leadership Mount Allison program at Mount Allison University. The group has tried to pedal about 100 kilometers a day, although this varies. On the day that they passed through Stittsville, they were doing about 120 kilometers that day. The day before, they did only 54 kilometers as they stayed overnight in Lombardy. So far, the group has camped about half of the time, sometimes at the side of the road, while staying in private accommodations arranged through friends and family the other half of the time. They have been overwhelmed by the friendliness and generosity that they have encountered along the route. This has included not only campground operators who have welcomed the group once they hear their story to grocery store operators who have been donating food to the cyclists, again after hearing their story. “We feel that the entire country is looking after us,â€? Graham May says. He said that crossing Ontario has been a wonderful experience, calling the province so diverse with very welcoming residents. He recalled that one of the most memorable spots on the journey so far was going through the Rogers Pass in the Rockies and going downhill after the climb up, passing through four tunnels. They would emerge from the darkness of the tunnels to a scene which included a glacier and a magniďŹ cent view. Graham says that he feels more Canadian now that he has been cycling across the country, noting that he has now gone swimming in three of the Great Lakes (Superior, Huron and Ontario) and has experienced the Rockies. Biking is a wonderful way of travelling, Graham says, as it allows a person to experience so much in terms of both the landscape and the weather. There is no better way of touring, he says. Graham’s fellow cyclist, Louise Plottel, agrees, saying that cycling allows a person to engage all of the senses at the same

time while travelling. Louis says that the prairies have been the hardest part of the tour so far, with long, at and windy sections. He says that it was a tough part of the tour not only because of the topography but also because they had just lost one of their cyclists, Paul O’Brien, who had to leave the group in Calgary. The cyclists have cooking stoves with them so that they prepare their own meals along the route. So far the group has experienced lots of at tires which they repair. Other bicycle problems, such as trouble with a chain, are handled as they arise. Graham admits that none of the group is an expert on bike repairs but says that they are learning as they go along. Graham May says that anyone can cycle across Canada. You do not have to be a Superman to do it, since biking is easy, he says. He notes that the group has encountered a person with a two year old cycling across Canada and also a 69 year old who is doing the same. Keeping hydrated is important, Graham says, noting that having water available is important. He has noticed that his appetite has changed during the tour as he is now eating about twice as much as he used to. The tour was a way not only for the group to bike across Canada (for Graham May, for example, the British Columbia native will be back on campus at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick this fall without having to y across the country) but it also has its environmental focus as a way of inspiring youth to take steps to protect the environment in their own communities.

The cyclists have made some presentations about this along the route so far, presentations arranged through personal contacts. One such presentation was made at Portland just south of Smiths Falls earlier in the day that the group passed through Stittsville. Just like the cyclists decided to go across Canada on their bikes and are now doing it, Graham points out that youth today can achieve anything that they want if they are passionate about it and “just do it.â€? “We want to empower young people to take a leadership role in protecting the environment,â€? Graham says. “I truly believe that environmentalism starts in your own home,â€? he adds. “Environmentalism has to be about the big picture but it has to start with the small picture, what is outside your own door that is worth saving,â€? Graham, who is about to start his second year of a double major in environmental studies and international relations, says. “We are inspiring youth to protect what they already care about,â€? he says. “That is what makes this project special,â€? he adds. “We are not lecturing or dictating, just blowing the embers of what is already on ďŹ re.â€? The group hopes to reach its journey’s end in St. John’s, Newfoundland, on August 26, giving them time to disperse to their schools throughout the world.

Donations for the Youth Action Fund to help youth-led environmental initiatives can also be made through this website.

Free classes on meditation John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Bhante Kovida has taught about meditation around the world. He is now going to do it right here in Stittsville through a series of four free classes on meditation offered at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. A travelling Buddhist monk who is currently visiting the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, Bhante Kovida will deal with psychotherapy, enlightenment, and the nature of fear in these free sessions at the Stittsville library that are open to everyone of all ages. These classes on meditation will take place on Wednesdays, Aug. 22 and 29 and Sept. 5 and 12 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Bhante Kovida says that meditation and related spiritual teaching is becoming more and more popular in western society because people are searching for deeper spiritual answers than those found in organized religion. He makes it clear that teaching about meditation and holding these free classes has nothing to do with Buddhism per se but is more focused on helping people develop a deeper understanding of themselves. In order to see the truth of things in nature, you have to train your mind to be focused, he says, and this is where meditation comes in. He likens meditation to the difference between driving a car and slowly walking and the resulting view of the passing landscape. When driving a car, the landscape passes by quickly in something of a blur. In walking slowly, the landscape becomes more in focus. Meditation allows a person to slow down, just like this walker, and see things more clearly. Through meditation, a per-

son learns how to be more peaceful and more patient in life, with less stress, he says. Bhante Kovida says that the benefits of meditation are universal. “It can help anyone,” he says, even those in hospital and those in prison. Even though Bhante Kovida has studied and practiced meditation for nearly four decades, he admits that he is still learning and dealing with life’s challenges. He says that there is no end to knowledge and to life’s challenges. Meditation helps a person understand and deal with the challenges in daily life, he says. This is the message that he wants to bring to others through these free classes about meditation that he will be offering at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library starting on Wednesday, Aug. 22 at 6:30 p.m. The first two sessions, on Wednesday, Aug. 22 and Wednesday, Aug. 29, will deal with psychotherapy which involves how a person deals with mental and emotional problems. On Wednesday, Sept. 5, the session will deal with the question “What is Enlightenment?” while the final session on Wednesday, Sept. 12 will be on the topic “The Nature and Ending of Fear.” Throughout all of these sessions, Bhante Kovida will be touching on the basic principles of meditation. Bhante Kovida’s meditation program, when practiced on a regular basis, is meant to help reduce anxiety and stress. Bhante Kovida has written two books, “An Inquiring Mind” in 2003 and “The World is Myself” in 2008. “An Inquiring Mind” deals with meditation and is available, as is “The World is Myself,” through the website www. bhantekovida.com Bhante Kovida, who was born in Jamaica, studied in

Canada before embarking on an overland journey to India and Nepal in 1974-75 where he began his study of Indian history and culture, Hatha Yoga and meditation, classical Indian music and Buddhism. After two more extended visits to India plus doing some social development work in Sri Lanka, Bhante Kovida was ordained as a Buddhist monk by Venerable Balangoda Anandamaitreya, a noted scholar, teacher and meditation practitioner, in 1991. Since 1993, Bhante Kovida has been travelling around the

his knowledge gleaned from his lifetime of studying and learning to Stittsville in these free classes on meditation and wisdom. No registration is required. For more information about these classes, please contact Bhante Kovida at 613836-0938 or email him at buddhadipa.99@gmail.com The classes are free and open to everyone of any age. While there is no requirement to do so, donations to help Bhante Kovida continue with his teaching efforts will be accepted and most welcome at these classes.

Representing Ontario in junior tennis nationals Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC sports - Thirteen-year-old Alexander Mironov is representing Ontario in the under14 junior tennis nationals this week. The A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School graduate is competing at Mont Tremblant, Que. from Aug. 6 to 12 in his fourth nationals competition. “I hope I might be seeded,” said the Stittsville resident before the competition, adding he hopes to finish in the top 16 players. As of June 22, Alexander was ranked seventh in Ontario and 10th in Canada in the boys under-14 category. “I just enjoy the game, the challenge, the competition,” he said. “I just like being good at something.” Alexander’s bedroom is filled with records of his accomplishments. His more than 35 trophies, awards, medals and plaques line the shelves of a dresser. Alexander played the recent Kanata Klassic, winning his first match 6-2, 7-5. He lost to the fifth seed, Nicolas Vincent, 6-1, 7-5. In his first doubles match with Sasha Krishna, the two won 6-2, 6-2. They won 6-3, 6-3 in their second match, and lost 6-1, 6-1 in their third. A number of the players he went up against

were in their 20s, said Alexander’s father, Vladimir. “I think that’s he’s progressing very well,” said his Vladimir, who goes out to watch his son’s matches. “I’m so surprised sometimes; he’s so strong,” said Alexander’s mother Ludmila, who watches her son’s out of town games. “It’s an emotional sport.” Alexander, who will be attending Grade 9 at South Carleton High School this fall, first started playing tennis at age five. “My parents got me into it,” he said, adding they would take him to the park to bat the ball back and forth. He began training to compete at age eight, and hasn’t looked back since. Alexander trains five to six times a week in the summer and two to three times a week in the winter. “I like individual sports more than team sports,” said Alexander, who used to also play competitive soccer. “I just like relying on myself instead of other people.” Alexander, who will turn 14 in September, trains at Carleton University. He’s competed in a number of tournaments; his total victories versus defeats since 2009 come in at 113-56. “I just want to keep training,” said Alexander. “I want to keep getting better.”

This Give the Gift of Life Walk on Sunday, Sept. 9 in Stittsville will raise money to help people affected by kidney disease and help make a difference for those who hope for a better future despite the disease. While for some, like Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, this means a kidney transplant, for many others it means being on life-sustaining kidney dialysis for the rest of their lives. The funds raised will support the Kidney Foundation of Canada’s research, advocacy and patient programs. The Walk, though, will also increase awareness in the community about kidney disease and organ donation. Over 2.6 million Canadians have kidney disease or are at risk of developing it. Today, over 1,100 people in Ontario alone are waiting for a kidney or a kidney-pancreas transplant. Organizers of this Give the Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 9 are urging everyone to spread the word about the Walk, to speak to others about organ donations and to support a team or create a team by checking the website http://kidney.akaraisin.com/stittsville12 More information about registering or becoming a sponsor of

Distracted Drivers & Seat Belt Use, the Focus of STEP Program in August The City of Ottawa’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) is targeting distracted driving and appropriate seat belt and child safety restraint use this month as part of its ongoing commitment to keeping Ottawa’s roads safe. Distracted driving: Between 2008 and 2010, driver distraction was either fully or partially the cause of 6,129 traffic collisions in Ottawa. The collisions resulted in nine deaths and 1,976 injuries (84 of them serious). Seat belt/child safety restraint use: Between 2006 and 2010, 26 people were killed, 50 suffered life-threatening injuries and another 202 were injured in Ottawa as a result of not wearing vehicle occupant restraints. Twenty of those 26 fatalities were male. Drivers need to make sure that they focus their full attention on safe driving and all occupants of a vehicle need to be using their seat belts or child safety restraints. These initiatives support the larger Safer Roads Ottawa Program, a leading partnership between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the City of Ottawa, through culture change, community engagement, and development of a sustainable safe transportation environment. Ottawa residents have identified traffic safety as a top priority. The Safer Roads Ottawa Program is committed to using available resources to make Ottawa roads safer for residents.

Cycling the capital Ottawa boasts it is one of the most cycling-friendly cities in Canada. With good reason – in 2004, the municipality had the highest percentage of bike commuters among all major municipalities in North America. Nearly three per cent of all Ottawans commuted to work using a bicycle, according to the study, prepared by Market

Opinion Research International. Hopefully that number will grow, according to the city’s 20-year cycling master plan, which aims to make biking to work a more attractive option by increasing the number of bike lanes, paved shoulders, wide curb lanes on multi-lane roads and off-road pathways, maintained by both the city and NCC.

Metroland Media decided to check out just how bicycle-friendly Ottawa really is, sending a group of reporters out to test four mostly off-road cycling routes from different parts of the municipality to Ottawa City Hall. The four routes start from Orléans, Nepean, Barrhaven and Kanata. All four reporters were novice cyclists and plotted as direct a route as possible but

that avoided busy streets and traffic as much as possible, making generous use of the National Capital Commission’s and the city’s off-road multi-use pathways. TWO-PART SERIES

Starting this week, Cycling the Capital, a two-part series, will explore a variety of issues dealing with the topic

of cycling to work, including the push to create cycling links throughout the city and prioritize the use of bikes as a mode of transportation, and a look at the impact of road construction on cyclists. Our series will also explore the importance of education – of both cyclists and motorists – and ways the city can make cycling a more comfortable option.

Detours cater to drivers: cyclists

Barrhaven paths offer pleasant commute Emma Jackson emma.jackson@metroland.com

When I began mapping my route from Strandherd Drive and Greenbank Road in Barrhaven to city hall downtown, I expected to ride on busy arterials for most of my 24-kilometre trip. At first glance, the bikefriendly route Google Maps spits out takes you along such major roads as Fallowfield, Woodroffe and Prince of Wales. But upon closer inspection, I was pleasantly surprised to find that most of those roads actually have wide, well-paved cycling paths running alongside them. For all the outcry about inadequate cycling links across the city, for my purposes it seemed like I was in for an off-road cycling dream. Beginning on Greenbank at 8:11 a.m., I started on a paved cycling path that kept me off the road but still travelling in the most efficient direction towards my destination. By 8:14 I had hit my first road block – a path was closed for construction – and the detour briefly turned my internal compass upside down. But I was soon back on the main path, heading towards Woodroffe Avenue. The path abruptly ended while running parallel to Fallowfield Road, but it at least connected to a well-marked bike lane, which I hopped on for about 30 seconds before crossing the Woodroffe intersection without problems and joining the Greenbelt Trail heading north. Now, this path was especially surprising. If I blocked out the clogged road to my left, I was free to enjoy the flat, smooth ride past horse ranches and farmers’ fields. At one point I found myself sailing through a cedar forest that briefly blocked the cars from view and allowed me to enjoy the soft morning light trickling through the thick stand of

We’ll meet with groups who are opposed to the city’s push to create more segregated bike lanes such as the 1.3-kilometre stretch recently introduced on Laurier Avenue. We will also look at ways to encourage children to commute to school. All Cycling the Capital stories and photographs will be posted on yourottawaregion. com.

trees. I even saw a rabbit. As a novice riding a pretty standard bike, it was humbling to think I had been so attached to my car, when all along I could have been enjoying a jaunt through the city’s green spaces. Connectivity did become an issue, however, through the Viewmount and Carleton Heights areas while trying to connect to Hog’s Back Road and the Colonel By pathway. Most of this section followed quiet residential roads, and the path sections were confusing, badly paved and often no wider than a goat path. Frustrated and running late, I eventually gave up trying to navigate the path and instead took a residential road I knew would get me to Prince of Wales. The major lesson I took from this was that the city’s path network is by no means perfect, and for a new commuter it will take several false starts to iron out a route that works. To be fair, between the city and the National Capital Commission there are 260 kilometres of pathways throughout the region. I only passed a handful of cyclists on my trip through Barrhaven and Nepean, and none of them looked like they were commuters.

EMC news – Ottawa cyclists are calling for the city to follow its guidelines for providing detours when roads are under construction. In 2009, the municipality created a set of rules for providing construction detours for cyclists. The city is responsible for providing detours and advance notice of road closures resulting from contracted work or special events. In the construction zone, the contractor doing the work is responsible for cyclists’ safety. “The city offers detours for cyclists, for pedestrians and for motorists,” said city spokesperson Jocelyne Turner. “It works just like any other detours.” But the detours are often long and cater to motor vehicles, said cyclist Alex deVries, who has been commuting by bike for eight years. “The City of Ottawa actually has guidelines, but it’s very hidden, and appears to be hidden from the project managers of different sites,” deVries said. The National Capital Commission, on the other hand, doesn’t have any guidelines. For the NCC’s parkways and multi-use pathways, construction signs and detours are addressed on a case-by-case basis with a common-sense approach, said NCC spokesperson Jasmine Leduc. But there may be hope for improvements, as the city and the NCC are working on creating common guidelines to show cyclists where to go during road construction. The city provided its own guidelines for consideration, and the NCC has involved Gatineau in talks about a common approach, Leduc said.

Love at Benji’s Place John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s a lot of love in the air at Benji’s Place in Stittsville. At this Stittsville Main Street dog grooming studio, this prevalence of love all begins with owner Bea McDaniels. “I love the dogs,� she says quite simply and it shows. There are no cages at Benji’s Place; she does not believe that dogs should be cooped up in such restricted surroundings. She wouldn’t like it herself and so why would the dogs. And perhaps this is why you will not hear any barking dogs at Benji’s Place. They are not cooped up but they can wander wherever they want through the premises. And when Bea is grooming a dog, she does it a little at a time. This relieves a dog’s stress, she says. She also hand dries every dog after a wash; no blow drier for her dogs. Although she has over 300 customers, Bea says that she knows every dog’s personality. Bea also takes only three dogs at a time and they are usually with her all day long. She doesn’t scold them if they poop or pee where they shouldn’t and she evens at times lies right down on the floor and plays with the dogs. She also feeds them and the

dogs always have water available. “I just love them,� she reiterates about the dogs, commenting that if she could not work with dogs, she thinks that her life would be over. She even muses that she thinks that she was a dog herself in a previous life. Her customers notice how much love she shows for their dogs. “She just loves her dogs,� customer Marion Gullock says about Bea, noting that the love in mutual in that the dogs love Bea. Marion says that when her dog goes to Benji’s Place, it is just like a day at a spa for a dog. But the love also involves the customers. The customers love and admire Bea. It was customers who installed a back door for her premises, cutting through the building’s thick log wall to give her direct access to the rear parking area. And these customers also erected a small fenced area at the entrance to this rear door so that the dogs have an outdoor oasis. Customers will also bring Bea food if she is working late at the shop. Indeed, it is because of the generosity and loyalty of her customers that has seen Bea host a party for both customers and their dogs in the backyard at her Stittsville home on

the first Saturday of August. She has been doing this since 2001 and it happened again this year, just last Saturday afternoon. And while it is a party for both customers and their dogs, with at least 30 people and 10 dogs in attendance, for Bea it is a chance to be with the dogs. “I play with them and they love me,� she says about what happens at the party, admitting that she spends most of her time with the dogs while the customers chat and enjoy food which Bea gets from Sobeys. Bea also feeds the dogs, feeding them chicken mixed with kibble, all on their own little plates. But Bea also makes it clear that the party is very much her way of showing her appreciation to her customers for their ongoing support and patronage. She says that her customers have done so much for her that she can’t just say “thank you� but wants to show her thanks by hosting this party. “I like it to be nice,� she says. Although Bea loves dogs, she no longer has one of her own. She used to have one but found it so traumatic and sad when the dog died that she does not want to go through such emotions again. So she has no dog of her own. But, as she says, she really has 300

Indeed, she has a sign in her shop that advises customers not to tell her if they are having their dog put down, since she finds even this too distressing because of her connection to the dogs. Bea, who grew up in Massachusetts, came to Canada with two suitcases and $200 in her pocket. She says that she wanted to move to a foreign country but with only $200 she could not fly anywhere and so she came to Canada, settling first in Montreal. She

eventually migrated to Ottawa where she operated a floral design shop. Always a dog lover, she ended up taking an extensive dog grooming course and in 1996, she opened Benji’s Place in Stittsville, taking the name from the canine superstar Benji created by author Joe Camp. Benji’s Place was originally established on Stittsville Main Street in premises adjacent to what is now the Stittsville Signs & Glass building. It then relocated to premises

in the former MacDougall Sales and Service building on the west side of Stittsville Main Street at Hill Street just north of Manchester Street. This was followed by a move to her present location on the east side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Orville Street, in a building adjacent to Stittsville Picture Framing. She likes the location because dogs can sit in the big front window and see passing pedestrians. Indeed, many pedestrians stop and talk to the dogs through the glass.

Investing in cycling will pay dividends

J

ust how bike friendly is Ottawa? The municipality has certainly been recognized in the past for its network of multi-use paths and cycling infrastructure. In 2010, Ottawa was one of four Canadian municipalities awarded a silver designation in the Bicycle Friendly Community Award Program, sponsored by the Bicycle Trade Association of Canada and Trek Canada. A study released in 2004 showed Ottawa had

the highest percentage of bike commuters among all major municipalities in North America. Nearly three per cent of all Ottawans commuted to work using a bike, according to the study prepared by Market Opinion Research International. The city is hoping to increase the number of people who commute by bicycle to work, an ambitious but obtainable goal – we’re not exactly talking about re-inventing the wheel here.

The city is on the right path with its 20-year plan to improve cycling infrastructure and educating both cyclists and motorists alike. Ottawa is a geographically large city, with more than 6,000 kilometres of roads, 1,500 kilometres of sidewalks, 300 kilometres of multi-use pathways and 150 kilometres of on-road cycling facilities, The city’s cycling plan aims to make biking to work a more attractive option by increasing the number of bike lanes, paved shoulders,

wide-curb lanes on multi-lane roads and off-road pathways maintained by both the city and the National Capital Commission. It hopes to increase the number of trips taken by a bike from 4,500 in 2001 to 12,000 by 2021. Again, ambitious but doable. This week, Metroland Media presented the first of a two-part series on commuting in Ottawa by bicycle. The reporters tested four mostly off-road cycling routes from different parts of the city: Orleans, Kanata, Nepean

and Barrhaven. For the most part, the team was pleasantly surprised by how little time they had to spend on roads sharing lanes with fast-moving traffic. Both the city and the NCC possess an impressive network of off-route multi-use paths across Ottawa-Gatineau. But there is definitely room for improvement. Namely, connecting broken cycling links, improving signage and creating more bike-only lanes. Let’s face it, one of the biggest fears people have is sharing the road with fast-moving vehicles. Our team of cycling reporters encountered bike lanes that

suddenly ended and problems travelling on roads with other traffic near highway exit and entrance ramps. Some of the cyclists we interviewed complained about sharing narrow lanes with other vehicles and streets missing bike lanes. But in general, the cyclists we spoke to said they enjoyed travelling to work – especially while travelling on the multiuse pathways maintained by the city and the NCC. Ottawa’s investment in its cycling infrastructure will pay dividends over the coming years by convincing more motorists to park their cars and instead enjoy a leisurely cycle to work.

The last taboo BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

I

hate breastfeeding. There you have it: The one thing you’re not allowed to say in our culture. We can talk sex, drugs and rock n’ roll, but no one is allowed to say “I hate breastfeeding� at a time when public health, the hospitals, the midwives, the World Health Organization and your mother-in-law advocate breastfeeding for up to two years of baby’s life. But I hate it. And here’s why. Just the other night, I spent an hour waking my 10-day-old baby from a most glorious evening nap. (She’s a bit sleepy and the consultants – yes, they have highly paid consultants for breastfeeding – told me I had to feed her a minimum of every three hours ‘round the clock. Strike one for breastfeeding.) I gave her a bath, tickled her toes, and got her completely naked, all while she slept peacefully. When she finally woke up after three-quarters of an hour of terrible abuse, I spent the next 45 minutes trying to latch a screaming, red, naked thing on to a painfully full breast to no avail. (Strike two for breastfeeding). I then danced around the living room half naked to Lullabies of the World for a quarter of an hour (strike three), only to trick her into suckling while we were still moving. I finally sat down in the designated breastfeeding chair, which has become a near-permanent part of my butt due to the 17 hours each day I spend there (strike four). I was sweaty and exhausted, but fully prepared to look down at baby’s gorgeous little face and coach her through the feed. Would you

believe it? There was Little Darling with her left hand beside her cheek, and I kid you not, she was flipping me the bird. (Strike five.) No doubt about it, breastfeeding really sucks. (Pun intended.) You can call me selfish – and I’m sure you will – but frankly, I have better things to do than sit in a chair for an hour every two hours and tickle the toes of a sleepy baby. I could be working, exercising, playing with my other children, or cooking a meal. Crikey, in 17 hours a day, I could be writing the world’s greatest novel! But nope, there’s me, tethered to a chair, attempting to nourish the baby and watching basic cable to take the edge of the boredom. This is the third time I’ve done this, so it’s not a matter of novelty. I stuck it out with the other two because of the purported health benefits for both mother and baby, despite the fact I believe some of them to be overblown. Sure nursing a baby helps your uterus to contract post-birth, for example. But frankly, what’s come off my middle has certainly just been tacked on to my rear end, on which I sit all day. Can we say pear-shaped? I may be the only one bold enough to say it out loud, but I know there are other moms thinking daily about how much they hate breastfeeding. In fact, just the other day, a friend and first-time mother had this to say on Facebook: “Everyone talks about pregnancy and cravings. No one tells u about hunger, feeding a baby, no time for food and a feed/sleep schedule. I just ate a cob of corn standing beside the garbage after it sat in a pot cold for 6 hrs in under 3 minutes.� And that, my friends, is the reality of a breastfeeding mother. I haven’t even touched on the pumping, wet face cloths, cracked nipples and such. Believe me, there’s nothing glamorous about this exercise, despite public health’s attempts to make you think so. For the sake of a few dollars and the potential to ward off cancer, I’ll keep going for the moment. But if Little Darling flips me the bird again, I may just have to get out the bottles.

MVC exercises jurisdiction in watershed environmental matters over the Mississippi River and Carp River watersheds which includes Poole Creek in Stittsville. The city of Ottawa appoints some members to the MVC Board of Directors as one of the member municipalities of the MVC. The city of Ottawa provides the funding for about 91 percent of the MVC budget. The existing MVC headquarters office is located in the village of Lanark but the

MVC Board of Directors underwent an extensive process to determine where a new headquarters building should be built. It was finally decided to locate the new building at highway seven at the Mississippi River at Carleton Place. Longtime MVC representative Phil Sweetnam of Stittsville, who is a past chair and who is on the building committee for this project, points out that the new location will be convenient to reach using highway seven. It will also be closer to the more populated areas of the MVC watershed than the existing office in Lanark village is. The MVC will have up to 30 staff working out of this new headquarters building

when it is completed, hopefully next June. Paul Lehman, a Stittsville resident, is the longtime general manager of the MVC.

Another local connection to this five million dollar headquarters building project is the fact that the general contractor for the project is

the construction firm headed by Shawn Argue who grew up in Stittsville and who lives in Goulbourn near Stittsville. All of the site development

plans have been approved and all permits required for the project are in place. Site preparation will be underway shortly.

This is an artist’s rendering of the new headquarters building for Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) which is being built at Carleton Place. The MVC has watershed jurisdiction over Poole Creek in Stittsville.

Elton John music at Village Square concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Here comes Elton John. Well, not the English rock singer/songwriter/composer/ pianist himself but the next best thing – Captain Fantastic, a musical group headed by Donnie Leafloor which reproduces the Elton John sound and music. Indeed, Donnie has the vocal ability to sound like Elton John and to play the piano so you think that you are listening to Elton John himself. Backed by a six piece band and two backup singers, Captain Fantastic recreates the full sound of Elton John, just like on his recordings. When you go to hear this tribute band in Stittsville, you will be hearing Elton John music from start to finish. The songs played will span Elton John’s 40 year career including tunes from such albums as “Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player,” “Captain Fantastic,” “Madman Across the Water,” and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” Among the songs that Captain Fantastic plays include “Candle in the Wind,” “Crocodile Rock,” “Rocket Man,” “I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues,” “Sweet Painted Lady” and more. It’s a Elton John experience that you won’t want to miss. And it will be happening

on Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. This is the third and final in a series of three free Thursday evening concerts in the park sponsored by Waste Management in conjunction with the city of Ottawa. The first concert, on Thursday, Aug. 2, featured the rock ‘n roll band Catalyst while Eddy and the Stingrays and their nostalgia rock ‘n roll sound are on stage for the second concert on Thursday, Aug. 9. Those planning to attend the performance of Captain Fantastic, this Elton John cover band on Thursday, Aug. 16, are reminded to take along a lawn chair or blanket for seating. Concert-goers are also reminded that the concert will go ahead, rain or shine. This concert, just like the two previous ones, is free but donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) will be collected. In addition, the 7 p.m. concert will be preceded by a cash BBQ which will begin at 6 p.m. under the auspices of the Stittsville youth connexion program of the city of Ottawa. All funds generated by the BBQ will go to support local youth initiatives. Elton John, in his four decade career, has sold more

Volunteers

than 250 million records. His song “Candle in the Wind” has sold over 33 million copies worldwide and is one of the best selling singles of all

time. Elton John has had more than 50 Top 40 hits and has won six Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Tony

Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. In 2008, Billboard magazine ranked Elton John as the

most successful male solo artist of all time and as the third overall, behind only the group the Beatles and female artist Madonna.

Jubilee Singers starting again John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Are you singing the blues because summer is more than half over? Well, consider turning your singing into fun by deciding to join the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers this fall and be part of a community choir that makes joyful music. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers welcomes all singers, with no auditions required. Choir practices are held at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville every Wednesday beginning in September. The first practice, indeed, will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 5 beginning at 7:30 p.m. And singing is no restricted to adults. The Junior Jubilees or JJ’s, which is the youth choir associated with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, also welcomes all boys and girls ages 8 to 14. This youth choir performs selected pieces at Goulbourn Jubilee Singers concerts and have developed quite a reputation for their delightful singing.

Weekly Wednesday practices for the Junior Jubilees or JJ’s will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. Again, just like with the adult choir, everyone is welcome and there are no auditions. For more information about the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or the JJ’s, log onto www.gjsingers.com or call Sandra at 613-831-8414 or Elizabeth at 613-838-6078. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers have now been making beautiful music in the community for over 35 years. The choir originated in Stittsville and Goulbourn and continues to welcome members from Stittsville as well as from surrounding communities. Musical director Linda Crawford, the longtime music teacher at Goulbourn Middle School, challenges the singers to improve their musical choral skills as they provide music in the community. The Jubilee Singers are also fortunate to have Doll Creelman and her amazing musical talents as the group’s accompanist. The Goulbourn Jubilee

Singers performs two concerts each year, one at Christmas time and one in the spring wrapping up the singing year. The choir also sings at seniors’ residences in the community and performs at special events such as at Village Fest in Stittsville. Earlier this year, the Jubilee Singers’ spring concert saw the Jubilee Singers perform with the Siamsa Singers of Montreal. A few weeks later, the Jubilee Singers travelled to Montreal to perform at the Siamsa Singers concert. This trip also included a Sunday journey to the Eglise St. Anne De Bellevue where the choirs sang “La Messe Quebecoise.” The Jubilee Singers’ Christmas concert this coming December, to be called “Christmas Jubilee,” will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8 and then again on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 9 at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. The music will include a celebration of the choir’s 35th anniversary as well as the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and, let’s not forget, the Christmas season.

Having a good time at Village Square thanks to ‘Catalyst’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Music associated with the Beatles, Irish singer Van Morrison, the Black Eyed Peas and the legendary Neil Diamond and more filled the air at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Aug. 2. It was the first of three free Thursday night concerts in the park sponsored by Waste Management in conjunction with the city of Ottawa. Performing at this concert which drew about 200 people to Village Square on a warm early August evening was the Ottawa Valley-based band “Catalyst,” a five piece band that lived up to its pre-concert billing as a group that plays classic rock, retro and country hits. That the 7 p.m. concert started off with the “Have A Good Time,” the 1976 song by soul singer Al Green, set the tone for the hour and a half of music that was to follow and after which music lovers could easily say that they had a good, good time. “Catalyst” followed up this opening piece with “Brown Eyed Girl,” the 1967 song by Irish singer Van Morrison which over time has become his signature song and certainly is a standard at many a concert. And the hits kept coming from the band which performed at a temporary stage

set up at the eastern end of Village Square. There was “Stuck in the Middle with You,” the 1972 song written as a parody of Bob Dylan’s lyrical style and which has over the years been covered by such diverse musical talents as Juice Newton, Jeff Healey and, yes, even Michael Buble. What would any concert be without some Beatles music and “Catalyst” did not disappoint, with a rendition of “A Hard Day’s Night,” the title song from the great Beatles album which arose out of the 1964 film of the same name, followed by a rousing version of “Shake It Up Baby, Twist and Shout,” a 1963 Beatles hit. And so the evening went, with an applauding audience punctuating the end of every song offering with a solid round of appreciative clapping. There was “Tonight’s Going To Be a Good Night,” a song made famous by the American hip hop group the Black Eyed Peas. And Neil Diamond’s iconic “Sweet Caroline” caused a stir in the crowd. It is no wonder that Neil Diamond is one of America’s most renowned singers including induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Sweet Caroline” was a 1969 hit for Neil Diamond, written by him after he saw a photograph of Caroline Kennedy on the cover of Life magazine.

And the good sounds carried on including some Michael Jackson music. Yes, “Catalyst” covered many musical bases as they slammed a home run in this concert. It was also a home run for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) as donations for CHEO collected during the evening amounted to $320 as was announced as

the concert wound up at 8:30 p.m. The concert was preceded by a cash BBQ starting at 6 p.m. held under the auspices of Stittsville’s youth connexion program. All of the funds generated by the BBQ are going to support local youth programming initiatives. This concert featuring the group “Catalyst” was the first

of three Thursday evenings concerts being held at Village Square, a concert series that has become something of a summertime tradition in Stittsville thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management. The legendary rock ‘n roll group Eddy and the Stingrays will be performing this Thursday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. while the concert series will wrap up on

Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. when Captain Fantastic, an Elton John cover band, will take to the stage. Those planning to attend these free Thursday evening concerts are reminded to take along a lawn chair or blanket for seating. Concert goers are also reminded that the concerts will go ahead, rain or shine.

prices up but safeTALK workshop House not necessarily taxes Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

EMC news - Suicide alertness and prevention training is like first-aid for a person’s mental health. “The more equipped people are, the better,� said Arianne Richeson, manager of educational services for the Distress Centre of Ottawa. “The importance of training or dialogue about suicide is it takes away the taboo.� Richeson hosted safeTALK, a three-hour suicide alertness workshop – held in partnership with the Kanata Haven Youth Centre and Reach Up Ottawa – for around 15 people recently at the Lion Dick Brule Community Centre in Glen Cairn. The training session taught the audience how to respond if someone opens up to them about suicidal thoughts, how to spot potentially suicidal behaviour and how to connect people with resources. Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help from others but often it’s missed, dismissed or avoided, which can leave people feeling more alone and at greater risk, said Richeson. “It’s good to know what to do or say if someone approaches you in distress.� The Distress Centre takes about 40,000 calls a year, she said. About 20 per cent of those calls relate to suicide. “The reality is, a lot of people don’t call us,� she said. The safeTALK training “helps the community be stronger,� because people can recognize the signs of someone in distress. The audience for the workshop was a mixture of teenagers and adults. Nineteen-year-old Jenna Harding said suicide awareness and prevention training is important to learn because it can help save a life. “There are a lot of suicidal people out there,� she said. “Obviously it’s an issue.� According to the Distress Centre, about one in 20 people have thoughts of suicide. “It’s a big community health issue,� said Richeson. “And yet we don’t talk about it that of-

ten. “There’s still, unfortunately, a lot of stigma around mental health and suicide.� The training offered by the Distress Centre teaches people: * How to recognize when someone you know or care about is in distress. * What to do and what to say to someone in distress. * How to connect them to help and outside resources. SafeTALK stands for tell, ask, listen, and keep safe. “If we’re worried about someone, talk to them about things you’ve noticed,� said Richeson, adding it could be a large shift in mood or behaviour. The next step is to ask directly if the person is thinking of suicide. “It’s not an easy question to ask someone but it is doable,� she said. “Generally, the most common reaction is people are relieved� if they’re thinking about suicide. Asking the question won’t make someone feel suicidal. “After, you want to listen,� she said. “It’s like a release valve. It’s actually incredibly helpful.� It the person doesn’t want to talk, move to the final step: keep safe. The final step involves separating a person in distress from their means, such as flushing a bottle of pills, and connecting the person with outside help. “You can’t be the only person who knows about someone’s thoughts of suicide,� said Richeson. “You don’t have to involve 60 people but definitely someone else.� Suicide prevention and alertness training helps make people more comfortable in dealing with the topic, said Richeson. “We need more people who are alert,� she said. “It’s something that affects all of us.� The Distress Centre will be hosting another safeTALK workshop on Wednesday, Aug. 22.

EMC news - Ottawa residents shouldn’t go into a panic that taxes are going to go up, even though house prices are on the rise in Ottawa. That was the message from the city’s deputy treasurer following news that Ottawa has seen a 24 per cent increase in assessed home value over the last four years, according to the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. That’s about the same annual increase the city has seen since 1980, according to MPAC. But “boutique� neighbourhoods like the Glebe, Westboro and other areas close to downtown are seeing increases above the 24 per cent average. Infill properties are in demand, the report reads, and “Ottawa’s greenbelt, increased congestion and commuting times to suburban communities including Orleans, and the amenities that come with being the nation’s capital, have all combined to keep sale prices increasing in the city.� The city is preparing a communications strategy for the fall to get the word out that such a large increase in value doesn’t necessarily lead to a corresponding increase in property taxes. That’s when MPAC will be mailing notices to tell property owners their new assessments. “This does not mean that property owners in Ottawa will experience a 24-percent increase in municipal property tax,� deputy city treasurer Ken Hughes wrote to members of city council on July 25. “The effect of the change in the assessed value is different for each property.�

The city’s website, ottawa.ca, will have an estimator tool so people can asses their tax impact when they receive their new assessment in the fall. Calculating how a change in a property’s assessed value will affect how much property tax the homeowner pays is a complex calculation, but the main consideration is how an individual property’s assessed value increase relates to the 24 per cent city average. For instance, a property evaluated by MPAC as having increased in value by 24 per cent over the past four years would see a municipal property tax increase equal to any increase in the city budget approved by council. Accordingly, an assessment increase over 24 per cent means your taxes would go up by more than the percentage budget increase set by city council. And if your assessment increase is below 24 per cent, your taxes would go up less than the increase set by city council, or your taxes could go down. Also complicating matters is a new four-year phase-in period. It means that the full impact of any increase in taxes due to an assessment increase wouldn’t be felt until 2016. If you have an assessment decrease, however, your taxes would go down immediately in 2013, with no phase-in period. MPAC analyzes actual sale prices of similar properties to determine the assessed value of more than four million residential properties across Ontario. MPAC also assesses more than 800,000 farm, commercial, industrial and other types of properties.

EMC news - Helene Rivest of Stittsville has retired from work. Family and friends gathered at the home of Bruce and Louise Beggs on Lucas Lane in the Heritage Corners subdivision off Fernbank Road west of Stittsville last Saturday evening to celebrate the occasion. Helene has retired after 36 years of service with the Department of National Defense, a career which began for her in March, 1976 in St. Jean, Quebec and included stops along the way in Lahr, Germany and Toronto as well as

in Ottawa. Since 2007, she worked as an administrative assistant with the Royal Canadian Navy. A replica circular life saving tube with her name on it which she was presented to her on her retirement was on display at the retirement gathering last Saturday. The gathering, on a warm early evening, also featured a display with a number of photo albums which outlined Helene’s career including photos of her retirement dinner. More than 40 were in attendance at the event at which everyone enjoyed not only Helene’s renowned tortiere

but also devoured a special retirement cake which featured a photo of Helene at her workplace. Among those at the event included former Goulbourn township mayor and city of Ottawa councillor Janet Stavinga, Stittsville Village Association president Marilyn Jenkins and Goulbourn Township Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell. Helene is an active volunteer in the Stittsville and wider community. She received a Community Builder Award from the United Way in 2007 and was Citizen of the Year in the Stittsville Appreciation Awards earlier this year.

With the continued dry conditions and the seemingly endless search for any substantial rainfall, I would like to remind residents that the burn ban remains in effect for the entire City of Ottawa. Similar burn bans are also in effect for neighbouring townships in Beckwith, Montague, and North Grenville. Ottawa Fire Services are also asking residents to be extra cautious when cooking outdoors and ensure that barbeques are not left unattended and all smouldering materials, such as charcoal, are completely extinguished with water. Mid-Term Town Hall Meetings I mentioned a few weeks ago about Mid-Term Town Halls which I will be hosting throughout the ward. We are currently in the midst of scheduling them during September, October, and November. As of right now, we plan to hold these Town Hall meetings in Munster, Richmond, Ashton, Fallowfield, Country Club Village, Burritts Rapids, Becketts Landing, North Gower, Kars, and Manotick. If you have any thoughts on meetings in these locations or feel I should add another, please let me know. We will finalize the dates and locations and send them out with plenty of notice. The idea is to discuss the two years since I took office and look at where we want to go together over the next two years and where you want your community to go well beyond my term in office. Communities on Facebook Keep in touch with the goings on in Richmond and Munster using Facebook. Visit www. facebook.com and search for the Munster Community Association and the Richmond Village Association. Rideau-Goulbourn is also on Facebook at facebook.com/rideaugoulbourn. For relevant community and city updates, also follow @RideauGoulbourn on Twitter and visit www.rideaugoulbourn.ca. Should you have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact me at 613580-2491 or by email at Scott.Moffatt@ ottawa.ca.

ist; and Ryan who just might be a future prime minister of Canada with his dynamic personality and sense of humour; and Nolan who is an avid visual artist as well as a guitar player; and Kaitlyn who loves singing and performing while also being a keen athlete. So those at the ceremony were given a glimpse of the special talents and character of each and every one of the 35 grade six students who are now off in September to attend grade seven at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. A number of awards recognizing individual accomplishments and achievements were also presented at this farewell ceremony. The Female Athlete Award was presented to Amy Doherty, Allison Quintall and Kaitlyn Weatherall while the Male Athlete Award went to Ciaran Allman, Ryan Pawlikowski and Nolan Struss. These Athlete Awards are presented to recognize grade six students who have exhibited a positive attitude in sports, have demonstrated sportsmanship skills, have represented the school in a positive manner and have shown consistent sports skills. The Leadership Award is presented to a grade six student who leads by example, who encourages others to try their best, who is a role model for peers and who is an active member of the school community. This year’s recipient was Nolan Struss. The Gloria Sterling Award for Effort was presented to Ciaran Allman and Maxwell Cole.

Special to the News EMC news - It was a grade six farewell ceremony, complete with certificates and awards. But Holy Spirit Catholic School’s ceremony on Tuesday, June 26 was much more than this. It was also like a living yearbook, with each student having a moment in the spotlight, a moment that not only included receiving the farewell certificate and for some an individual award but also featured a verbal description of the student, his or her attributes and perhaps a memory or two about the year gone by. So, you had Ethan described as a student with a wide range of interests, from science to computers; and Corri as an athlete but also one who helps others; and Maxwell who likes to spent time with his friends; and Jason who organizes new games in the schoolyard

I wanted to take the opportunity to publicly thank the men and women of Ottawa Fire Services and the many dedicated firefighting volunteers in Rideau-Goulbourn for their extremely hard work under trying conditions in the month of July. July was the driest on record and we also set several single day heat records. Throughout these conditions, our Fire Services men and women were faced with several forest fires throughout the western part of Ottawa including two located within Rideau-Goulbourn. Within days of each other, a 5-10 acre fire broke out just off Kettles Road, south of Munster and a 100 acre fire broke out in between Richmond Road and Moodie Drive, just north of Fallowfield Village. We are blessed to have these dedicated volunteers working out of stations in Richmond, North Gower, and Manotick. To our local firefighters: On behalf of the residents of RideauGoulbourn and the City of Ottawa, thank you for your service and dedication to our community.

Schedule of Events

Ever wonder when you should be using ice on an injury? An ice pack can become a great ally in the rehabilitation process, but only if used correctly. Ice is typically used for injuries where there is inflammation (redness, heat, swelling, pain, and loss of function). Applying an ice pack within the first 24-48 hours to an injury where inflammation is present should help to reduce both pain and swelling around the area. Ice can also be used as a preventative treatment in more chronic conditions caused by overuse or repetitive strain (i.e. tennis elbow). In these particular cases, ice should only be

applied to the injured area after activity to help control the inflammation. Never apply ice to a chronically injured area before physical activity. Take the following steps to get maximal benefits from your ice: 1. Ice immediately after a new injury (i.e. acute ankle sprain), or after you have irritated your chronic injury (i.e. shin splints) 2. Ensure a layeris between the ice and your skin. Wrapping anice pack in a wet hand cloth and placing it over the painful areais a safe and effective way to ice. 3. Ice for a maximum of 15 minutes. Icing for any longer

may result in damage to your tissues. 4. Elevate your injured limb to enhance the reduction in swelling. 5. Put 2 hours between consecutive icings to keep the icing effective. Make sure you have full sensation and the skin is warm to the touch before you start icing again.

To Ice or Not to Ice? That is the question

EMC news - Participation in the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s year-end track and field meet at the Terry Fox athletic facility at Mooney’s Bay. Exciting. Placing third as a team in the intermediate girls’ division of the meet. Awesome. Breaking a Board-wide record in one event. Priceless. Yes, the participation of Goulbourn Middle School athletes in this Boardwide track and field event turned out to be all of these – exciting, awesome and priceless. In the intermediate girls’ division, Goulbourn Middle School’s group placed third with 30 points, just eight

points behind the winning Henry Larsen Elementary School and only three points behind second place Steve MacLean Public School. This was the only division of the four in the meet (bantam girls, intermediate girls, bantam boys and intermediate boys) in which Goulbourn Middle School placed in the top five. It was, though, a record breaking performance at the meet that really made this year’s track and field meet so memorable for Goulbourn Middle School. Shyvonne Roxborough of Goulbourn Middle School broke the meet’s intermediate girls’ long jump record, setting a new mark with her leap of 4.78 metres.

EMC news - “Coffee for a Cause” at Mac’s stores in the Ottawa area has raised $4,000 for Friends of Hospice Ottawa. “Coffee for a Cause” is a fundraising initiative tied to the coffee sold at each of the 43 Mac’s stores in the Ottawa area on Tuesday, June 26. In addition, there were gift baskets given away at each store, with those who made a

services and programs which it provides, specifically in the west end of the city. Many of the Mac’s stores had a Friends of Hospice Ottawa volunteer at the store on Tuesday, June 26 to help in

spreading the message about the organization and its programs and services and to distribute information about the organization. Mac’s is planning to do this “Coffee for a Cause” fundraising event for Friends of Hospice Ottawa again next year. This “Coffee for a Cause”

fundraising for Friends of Hospice Ottawa began in 2010 when the idea was implemented in the Mac’s store in Richmond. Then, last year, the idea spread to a dozen Mac’s stores in the area. Now, this year, thanks in great part to the enthusiasm and support of Mac’s manager Diane Asche,

the program was extended to all 43 Mac’s stores in the Ottawa area. Friends of Hospice Ottawa provides a host of services and programs to meet the needs of those facing life threatening illness and their families. These include in-home support, bereavement support,

egiver support, day hospice caregiver grams and transportation. programs The mission of Friends of spice Ottawa, which serHospice es the western portion of vices the city of Ottawa, is to provide life-affirming support to individuals with life threatening illnesses and to those who care for them so that they may

feel empowered to live as fully as possible in their home with care and dignity. Friends of Hospice Ottawa frequently uses the following statement to describe its services to those facing life threatening illnesses: “While we cannot add days to your life, we can add life to your days.”

‘Racing Stripes’ at Village Square John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s the old joke which asks “What is black and white and red all over?”, with the answer being “An embarrassed zebra.” But zebra humour reached new heights with the 2005 film “Racing Stripes” which features a zebra who is trained as a race horse. And, oh, did we mention that the movie also includes a whole barnyard of animals who talk to each other? This movie “Racing Stripes” is the next movie that is being shown in the summer-long free Tuesday nights at Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville. It will be shown on the big screen at the park on Tuesday, Aug. 14, starting at 8:30 p.m. The movie features live actors such as Bruce Greenwood, a retired horse trainer; Hayden Panettiere, the horse trainer’s daughter who wants to be a jockey and who names the zebra “Stripes;” and M. Emmet

Walsh, an old racetrack gambler. But the movie also features a number of voice actors such as Frankie Muniz as Stripes, the zebra who wants to compete in the Kentucky Open; Dustin Hoffman as Tucker, a Shetland pony who helps train racehorses; Whoopi Goldberg as Franny, an old nanny goat who takes Stripes under her wing; and Jeff Foxworthy as Reggie, the farm’s pea-brained rooster. The zebra ended up at the farm of the retired horse trainer and his daughter after being accidentally left behind as a baby when a travelling circus was packing up in a rush due to a thunderstorm. Rescued by the retired horse trainer, the zebra becomes part of life on the farm, with the other farmyard animals educating him about life on the farm. The zebra ends up being trained as a racehorse by Tucker, the Shetland pony. For a zebra to participate in the Kentucky Open horse race has its challenges but you have to see the

movie to find out what happens. The film has lots of music, 23 songs in total, including Sting’s “Taking the Inside Rail” and Bryan Adams’ “It Ain’t Over Yet.” When it was released in 2005, it was a commercial and financial success. These free movie nights on Tuesdays at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville are being sponsored by Stittsville’s youth connexion program with everyone of all ages welcome to attend. There are refreshments available for sale at these free movie nights. Those planning to attend should take along a blanket or a lawn chair for seating. This movie “Racing Stripes” is the seventh movie to be shown in this summer-long series of free Tuesday night movie nights. It will be followed by the movie “The Lorax” on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 8:30 p.m. and by the movie “The Muppets” on Tuesday, Aug. 28, also

In addition, there were gift baskets given away at each store, with those who made a donation to Friends of Hospice Ottawa at the store that day being entered in the draw for the gift basket. The Mac’s store in Richmond, where this whole “Coffee for a Cause” fundraising initiative for Friends of Hospice Ottawa began back in 2010, raised the most funds of any of the 43 participating Mac’s stores this year, namely $695. This was funds not only from the coffee sales and gift basket donations on Tuesday, June 26 but also from a BBQ which the store held on Saturday, June 16. Besides donating the proceeds from the sale of coffee in the 43 stores on Tuesday, June 26, Mac’s also arranged for signage for the “Coffee for a Cause” event so that customers would be aware of the event. “Coffee for a Cause” was not only a fundraising event for Friends of Hospice Ottawa but also provided a lot of opportunity to raise awareness in the community about Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the services and programs which it provides, specifically in the west end of the city.

EMC news - Here comes plowing time! The annual Ottawa-Carleton Plowing Match is coming up on Friday, Aug. 24 and Saturday, Aug. 25 at 4810 Brophy Drive which is between Twin Elm Road and Moodie Drive east of Richmond. Activities on Friday, Aug. 24 will include VIP plowing at 12 noon, a junior plowing competition, a plowing clinic, a coaching clinic and a judging clinic. The real action happens on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when the competitive plowing happens including plowing with horses and antique tractors. The Queen of the Furrow competition gets underway at 1 p.m. Lunch will be available on the site with everyone welcome to attend and see the plowing

activity. The Ottawa-Carleton Plowmen’s Association, hosts of this annual plowing match, traces its history back to 1919 with the formation of the Marlborough and North Gower Plowmen’s Association. It was this group which hosted the 1932 International Plowing Match at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. Plowing matches have been held throughout Ontario for over a century, providing an opportunity for farmers to display their skills in plowing and to teach the importance of soil conservation. Plowing is one of the oldest and most valuable tillage tools in agricultural history. Plowing prepares a seedbed with a top layer of soil that can easily surround the newly planted seed, encouraging germination. It also helps control weeds, increases water retention

Here and there around the community of Richmond EMC news – The totem pole outside the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library is no more. After 12 years since being erected there by the Richmond Scouts, the totem pole has rotted away below ground. Made out of pine, it was treated for decay but this only gave it a dozen years of life. Traditional West Coast totem poles are made out of cedar which does not rot away like pine. The totem pole will not be re-erected because of its decayed bottom…Former Richmond resident Bob Slack, who now lives with his wife Lois in Athens, Ontario,

has been elected president and director for Ontario for the term 2012-2014 of the Canadian Snowbird Association (CSA). He is a retired principal with the former Carleton Roman Catholic School Board. A past president of the Catholic Principals’ Council of Ontario, Mr. Slack served as a councillor for Richmond on the inaugural Goulbourn Township council after the amalgamation of the municipal villages of Stittsville and Richmond with rural Goulbourn township in 1974. He was also active in the Richmond District Lions Club, the Richmond Snow

Rovers Snowmobile Club and the Richmond Minor Hockey Association. His wife Lois is a retired teacher who taught at St. Philip Catholic School. The Canadian Snowbird Association is a national not-for-profit advocacy organization, dedicated to defending and improving the rights and privileges of Canadian travelers…Jabulani Winery on Jock Trail west of Richmond is having a robust year.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Today, every farmer dreads a long spell when no rain falls and he watches helplessly as his crops burn before his eyes. Often, if the drought happens in the late spring or early summer, the sprouts of new crops do not appear at all. But a long dry spell in the days when I was a young girl meant disaster and added backbreaking work. We had many such spells, but one I remember most. Summer had erupted beautifully. The crops showed signs of good growth and the hot days meant that our large garden should produce enough vegetables for daily eating, as well as a bountiful supply to can away for the winter. Our old iron pump, close to the back door, received its usual coat of bright green paint and coughed up its regular gush of crystal clear water for household uses as well as providing a constant supply of drinking water for the farm animals. Two long galvanized troughs sat in the yard close to the pump and twice a day we took turns pumping while a couple of us hauled milk-pails full of water so the troughs were always kept full for the animals. The pump sat on a rickety wooden platform over the well and I can recall how we often would lie on our bellies with our eyes

Rain brings a breath of new life to Ottawa Valley pressed close to the cracks in the boards. Way down deep in the cavity we would see the well’s black pit, where we would drop in stones and marvel at the hollow sound as they plopped into the water below. That year, however, the hot sunny days with no rain continued on. It wasn’t long until the ground in our lane settled into wide cracks in the clay and the normally moist sand around our back door became dry and powdered. Gradually the crops stopped growing and our garden had to be watered daily by carrying pails of water up a steep grade at the back of the house. Soon we noticed that it took longer and longer to prime the pump. Often we would have to pump like fury before it would catch deep below and release the water. Then, just as if someone had turned off a tap, the pump had nothing more to give up. We were out of water. Still, we were better off than many farmers in the area. The Bonnechere River ran at the back of our property. It too was feeling the effects of the long dry spell, however, and the water had left its banks until just a three-metre span trickled down the centre. My father said we had no choice but to haul the water from the river. Daily, we hitched up the horses to the stone boat and with every available milk can balanced on the flat surface we made our way to the visibly-diminishing Bonnechere and filled the cans with water. Now, the troughs were only half full for the livestock and the reservoir on the Findlay Oval went for days without being filled. Our once-a-week baths were suspended and replaced with sponge baths and the Monday washing was shoved over for an-

other day, just in case it rained. Every mouthful of water we drank came from the Bonnechere and was boiled on the stove, but none of us had much of a taste for it. The drought went on for weeks and the talk around our supper table centred on how we would manage to feed the livestock over the winter if we had no hay. The evening singsongs ceased. Our parents wore worried looks that sent a pall over the entire household and I had a gnawing pain in the pit of my stomach that I couldn’t get rid of. Then one morning, very early, we heard the first gentle patter of a soft rain on the roof. It was only a matter of a few minutes until each of us ran to a window to search out the clouds in the early dawn. The sky was dark and we could hear Father yell, “It’s going to be an all-day rain, the sky is covered in cloud!” Soon it was teeming down like sheets of steel and our mother in her nightdress ran outside with the granite dishpan to place it under the eave to catch the soft water as it ran off the roof. We five children followed her out. In those days we slept in our underwear and we ran over the soaking grass like people possessed. It was the most beautiful feeling, with our hair hanging down over our eyes in sopping disarray. There was no thunder or lightning, just the soft beating of the rain that had come to breathe new life into our part of the Ottawa Valley. In the kitchen, Mother was frying a pan of home-smoked bacon and I knew there would be eggs and homemade jam for our toast, a breakfast usually reserved for Sundays. It was a day for rejoicing. The ache in my stomach was gone and I knew that once again, all was right in my world.

OLYMPIC GAMES

Ian Millar still jumping for Olympic joy 65-year-old veteran hoping to lead Canadian equestrian squad to glory Brian McNair brian.mcnair@metroland.com

EMC sports - There surely can be no more interesting a bunch amongst the Canadian Olympians in London than the equestrian jumping team. Among the five team members, there’s one making a record-breaking 10th Olympic appearance, another coming off an historic individual gold medal win four years ago in Beijing, one who missed those Games with a broken back, a fourth who was at those Games and helped Canada win team silver, and a fifth who has made his way to Canada via France and Japan. And together, respectively, Ian Millar, Eric Lamaze, Tiffany Foster, Jill Henselwood and Yann Candele represent Canada’s best hope for an equestrian medal here at beautiful Greenwich Park in the heart of London. Sadly, a big part of the reason for the performance four years ago in Beijing, where Lamaze won gold and the team won silver, was credited to Hickstead, Lamaze’s brilliant horse who suddenly and tragically dropped dead last year. Lamaze had been eager to ride Hickstead again at these Games, and nearly pulled out as a result of his death, but decided to give it another go aboard Derly Chin de Muze. However, he admits it won’t quite be the same. “For me, with the tragedy that happened last year with Hickstead, I’m not coming to these Games really feeling like I’m defending my title. Hickstead would have still been in great shape and I’m sure having him here would have felt like defending my title,� said Lamaze, who lives in Schomberg, Ont. “Having said that, I come with a very, very young horse, we have a

great team. We’re going to try our very best.� Millar is arguably one of the Games biggest stories, or at least should be considering he’s setting a record with his 10th Olympic appearance and is competing at the age of 65. Dubbed Captain Canada, Millar is a native of Nova Scotia, but now lives near Perth where he runs Millar Brooke Farms. He began his Olympic journey at the 1972 Games in Munich, and hasn’t missed one since, excluding of course the 1980 boycotted Games in Moscow. Known most for pairing up with the famous Big Ben, Millar rode In Style in Beijing and will mount Star Power at these Games. “The whole thing is just such an interesting journey and I guess what I’ve really noticed the most is the evolution of the sport,� said Millar. “As we know all sports evolve tremendously and our sport is no different. It’s really not the same thing at all as it was in 1972. It’s a different type of horse we’re using, the style of riding is quite evolved, the way the courses are built, the material used. It’s virtually unrecognizable over this period of time. Henselwood, who like Lamaze and Millar was a part of the Beijing team silver, loves the venue at Greenwich Park, where history and fan knowledge is unsurpassed. “I think this venue is going to be friendly to the horses, to the concentration of the horses,� said 49-year-old resident of Oxford Mills, who will ride George. The jumping competition involves Aug. 4-6 qualifying and an Aug. 8 final. Follow Canada’s athletes as they go for the gold at yourottawaregion.com.

The Canadian women’s eight rowing team celebrate during the medal ceremony after winning a silver at the London 2012 Olympic Games on Aug. 2.

Canadian women’s eight win silver Dave Feschuk

EMC sports - Canada’s women’s eight won an Olympic silver medal on Aug. 2, bowing by half a boat length to their longtime rivals from the United States on the Eton Dorney rowing course. Racing in front of an estimated crowd of 30,000, the Canadians never really challenged the favoured U.S. boat. Canada finished 1.41 seconds behind the Americans to earn the Maple Leaf’s second rowing silver in as many days. The Netherlands won bronze. The men’s eight used a memorable late-race surge to place second to Germany on Aug. 1. Canada’s women’s eight included coxswain Lesley Thompson-Willie and Ashley Brzozowicz of London, Ont., Montreal’s Andreanne Morin, Darcy Marquardt and Lau-

ren Wilkinson of Vancouver, Regina’s Rachelle Viinberg, Thorold’s Natalie Mastracci, Winnipeg’s Janine Hanson and Krista Guloien of Port Moody, B.C. Thompson-Willie, a 53-year-old teacher-librarian, has been a mainstay of Canada’s rowing program since she was named cox of the Canadian eight for the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games. Thursday saw her capture her fifth Olympic medal in a storied career that has seen her steer a Canadian shell at seven Games. Certainly the U.S. was a formidable foe. The defending Olympic gold medallists have gone undefeated since winning the 2006 world championships. But Canada, which had finished second to the Americans at each of the past two world champi-

Adidas Mens Barrak Training Shoe Our Original Price 9999

onships, had recently gained confidence that an upset could be in the offing. While the Canadians finished three seconds back of the U.S. in Beijing in 2008, by last summer’s world championships, where Canada won silver, they had narrowed the margin to 0.74 seconds. At their only preOlympic matchup this year, at a World Cup race in Lucerne in May, Canada was second to the U.S. by a scant three hundredths of a second. As Canadian stroke Andreanne Morin pointed out, that translated to a finish-line gap the size of a plum. Alas, the U.S. left no doubt about their superiority on Thursday, opening up a lead of a full second after 500 metres and increasing the gap to 2.3 seconds at the 1,000-metre mark of the 2,000-metre race. If an Olympic medal is al-

ways the culmination of an arduous journey, certainly some on the Canadian crew have been on the trail longer than others. Vancouver’s Darcy Marquardt had been to two previous Olympics and finished fourth both times. After the heartbreak in Beijing four years ago, when Canada’s eight faded late and, she took a break from training’s grind and got a job in the financial services business. But the lure of another shot at stepping atop an Olympic podium – “unfinished business,� she called it – brought her back to a crew that also included Beijing eight holdovers Thompson-Willie, Morin and Brzozowicz. On Thursday, they celebrated a long-awaited moment on the podium. Torstar News Services

Upside down cake is peachy Comfort food is food that makes you feel good. Very often, it’s something your mother made when you were young. It might be anything from creamed eggs on toast to chocolate pudding. For me, comfort food in August is peach upside down cake. My mother made it every year I can remember and, as soon as the fresh peaches are in season, I do the same. It’s as much of a tradition as turkey at Christmas. Although this cake has to be made from scratch, it’s very easy. Peeling and slicing the peaches probably takes longer than mixing the ingredients for the cake. The secret is making this at the right time of the day so that you can serve the cake for supper while it’s still warm. If you’ve never eaten homemade peach upside down cake, give yourself a treat and enjoy.

Champlain’s anniversary in 2013 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Plans are underway to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the arrival of Samuel de Champlain at the site that would eventually become the city of Ottawa. Cumberland Coun. Stephen Blais, who brought the idea for a celebration forward, says the 2013 celebration will serve as a good dress rehearsal for the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017. “The more people who know about Champlain’s importance … I think the better sense of history we’ll all have,” Blais said. “From my perspective we would all be more enriched the more we know about our common history … It’s something I don’t think we do a good job at.” Most of the events associated with the Champlain celebration will focus on youth and educating them about Canadian and Ottawa history through the theme of discovery and exploration, Blais said. Youth visual art and literary competitions are planned, as is a short video contest, all with prize money available. But Blais said he would like to encourage all local community groups and organizations to adopt the Champlain/exploration/discovery theme for any regular or new events they are planning for 2013. Winterlude would be the biggest target, Blais

Now Tucker is a boy who will be always following you where ever you go.... if you want to have a “Bodyguard” he is your man. When you walk he’ll walk when you sit he’ll be on your lap asking for his pay cheque in the form of cuddles and hugs and kisses. If you ask him it is a very good payment system in which both parties get what they want. He is playful, affectionate and always happy to see a human anytime any where and he’ll demonstrate his love to anyone who gives him the time of the day. If you want some one to love you without reservation and be always by your side he is ready and able to fulfill your wishes.... all that love he has is ready to be given away... maybe to YOU????

Food ‘n’ Stuff

If you’re using milk and vinegar rather than buttermilk, combine them and let sit while you prepare the other ingredients. Line the bottom of a 20-centimetre square pan with aluminum foil. Sprinkle the brown sugar over this then dot evenly with butter. Arrange the peach slices in rows on top of this so that they completely cover the bottom of the pan. In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine and white sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla. Gradually blend in the dry ingredients, alternating with the liquid. Spoon the batter over the peaches. Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let sit for about five minutes. Place a large plate upside down over the cake pan. Holding both the plate and pan with potholders, turn upside down, then lift off the pan. Because the pan is lined with aluminum foil, it will lift off easily. Carefully peel the foil off the bottom of the cake. Serve warm with whipped cream. Serves six to eight.

said, and the city has approached the National Capital Commission about incorporating the theme into its annual winter festivities. A slew of community groups – particularly francophone groups – have already come onboard to help with the 130 events already in the works, Blais said. Champlain was an explorer and cartographer who helped colonize Acadia and found Quebec City in 1608. Known as the Father of New France, Champlain travelled along the Ottawa River while looking for the great “western sea” and came upon what is today Ottawa and the upper Ottawa Valley. Champlain was the first explorer to describe and document Ottawa, including detailing the presence of the Algonquin people in the region. A plan for the celebration also includes partnerships with business improvement areas across Ottawa to develop menu items related to the theme, including dishes served during Champlain’s time. Blais said he hopes to help create a dining passport that visitors could use to sample the Champlain-themed dishes at different restaurants. A report approved by city council’s finance and economic development committee lists $27,500 worth of funding for those initiatives. The city will also work with community groups to help them find other sources of funding if they want to put on Champlain-themed events.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of William Paul Rikely (Bill) on July 25, 2012 in his 88th year. Bill passed away at Ottawa’s Queensway Carleton Hospital following a brief illness. Bill was predeceased in 1984 by his beloved wife of 37 years, Pauline (Hare). He leaves behind his children Susan (Dan), Daniel (Geraldine) Kathryn (Brian) and Jennifer (Barry) and grandchildren Christopher Parsons (Jessamyn), Bronywn and Meredith Lazowski. In 1989 Bill was blessed to marry his loving wife, Janine (Rousseau), and to be embraced by her children and grandchildren: David (Julia and children Gabrielle and Chloe), Nicole (Jean Paul), Michael (Sheilah), Paul (Suzy and children Nicholas and Samuel) and Denise (David and children Lindsey and Logan). Bill had a distinguished career with the Canadian Military beginning as an RCAF pilot, then transferring to the navy where he rose to the rank of Commander. He was the proud Captain of the naval destroyer “Kootenay”. Following his 32 year military career, Bill joined the federal Aviation Safety Board. Since 1989, Bill enjoyed a rich and active retirement continuing to feed his lifelong passion for aviation and his love of the open seas. Bill will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by all those who love him dearly. A celebration of his life will be held on Monday, July 30th at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel at Pinecrest Cemetery. The service will be followed by a reception for family and friends. The family would like to thank the staff of the Queensway Carleton Hospital for their care and compassion during Bill’s final weeks.

THE 24TH ANNUAL ODESSA ANTIQUE SHOW AUGUST 11TH & 12TH, 2012 EASTERN ONTARIO’S LARGEST OUTDOOR ANTIQUE SHOW The Odessa Antique Show and Sale, the LARGEST outdoor antique show in eastern Ontario, will be held this year on August 11 and 12, 2012. At this popular annual event, dealers from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes display a wide variety of antique and collectible treasures. Collectors can count on discovering anything from furniture to household items, tools, textiles, paintings, folk art, jewellery and glass and china. Whether you’re hoping to decorate your home with heritage objects or retro pieces or add to a long-held collection, the Odessa Antique Show will no doubt yield many fascinating finds. The prices suit every budget, ranging from a few dollars to a few thousand dollars. The dealers arrive and begin unpacking their wares on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. Keen visitors can pay the $20 early-bird admission, which includes re-entry on Sunday; checking in early allows you to peruse the stalls, examine the items up close and be the first to buy. Admission on Sunday from 8 a.m. onwards costs $8. An abundance of delectable homemade food, the Odessa Antique Show is an excellent deal and a great event for a summer afternoon, not only for antique lovers but for anyone interested in eye-catching memorabilia. No reproductions are allowed. This is an antique & collectibles show. Exhibitors More than 100 vendors from across Ontario, Quebec, and even Atlantic Canada, are expected at the event, which organizers describe as the largest antique show in Eastern Ontario. The event has survived for nearly a quarter of a century because it caters to both kinds of antique collectors. “You have a certain type of collector that is interested in purchasing items to decorate their house; they’re not so interested in the investment value,� Dobson said , said Bill Dobson, who was the owner of the show until he handed it over to Karen Leacock-Brown in 2011. “The other area is people who want to purchase things as a fairly good investment for value in the future. CL407511 www.odessaantiqueshow.ca “The interesting thing about the Odessa show is it’s so large and so diverse it satisfies all types of collectors.�

About Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club Special to the News

EMC sports - Lawn bowling action at the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s facility beside the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners is happening every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. with treats and refreshments with conversation afterwards.

And this year these refreshments and conversation take place in a new tent shelter that has been erected at the lawn bowling green. This is providing a relaxing spot where lawn bowlers can stay out of the sun or inclement weather while enjoying themselves right beside the lawn bowling green. This new tent shelter was erected just in time for the

opening of the season. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the city of Ottawa cooperated in the purchase of this new shelter, with the city supplying matching funds of about $7,000. This year the city of Ottawa has also fully funded a new mower for the lawn bowling green to the tune of $7,900. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club is always open

to new members. It is a very economical sport, with the cost of lawn bowling for the ďŹ rst year being only $60. In addition, the Club supplies the lawn bowls. All a new bowler needs is a pair of at soled shoes, shorts and a light top. You will receive lots of instruction and advice on how to play the game. For those who cannot bowl during the day, the Club is now offering lawn bowling on Tuesday and Thursday evenings starting at 6:30 p.m. Lawn bowling is a game that goes back to the possibly the 12th century and most definitely to the 13th century. It is also a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace and its reliance on skill. For more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the upcoming season, please contact Club president George Burns-Nichol at 613-831-0939 or email him at gjbn@rogers.com

Dale Argue Cup at Sand Del Lee John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Canada’s premier motocross racing series comes to Goulbourn this Sunday, Aug. 12. It will be the eighth round of the nine round, cross Canada series that began in June in Nanaimo, B.C. and has seen racing take place in Calgary, Edmonton, Ontario and Quebec before coming to Sand Del Lee Motocross Park on Conley Road west of Richmond.

And up for grabs at this Sunday’s Monster Energy MX Motocross Nationals at Sand Del Lee will be the Dale Argue Cup, named in honour of the founder of the Sand Del Lee facility 40 years ago. The Dale Argue Cup will be awarded to the top 250 cc and 450 cc class winners in this Sunday’s event. The Dale Argue Cup was established to honour the late Dale Argue, one of the forefathers of Canadian motocross racing. He opened the Sand

Del Lee motocross raceway 40 years ago, making it perhaps the oldest continuously run motocross track in Canada. In 2001, MX 101, the current operator of the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park, took over operation of the facility but Dale Argue continued to help with advice as MX 101 developed the raceway. Mr. Argue passed away in Aug. 2010 and the Dale Argue Cup was created in his honour at that time.

The Sand Del Lee Motocross Park was completely renovated by MX101 in 2006, including a new track layout, installation of access tunnels for spectator access, a watering system and a pavilion. The track features a 42 gate starting line and a three storey scoring tower. Pro lap times on the track are two minutes. This weekend will see the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals come to Sand Del Lee. This Saturday, Aug. 11 will

be National Amateur Day with a full day of amateur racing on the track from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This will be followed on Sunday, Aug. 12 by the big feature, Pro National racing as the eighth round of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals takes place. There will be action on the track from 8 a.m. when practicing takes place through to 4 p.m. There will be an opening ceremony at 11:50 a.m. For a breakdown of the racing schedule, check out the website www.mx101.ca Tickets can be purchased at the gate this weekend. For adults, there is a $40 weekend pass or a $25 pass for either Saturday or Sunday. For youngsters up to age 11, there is a $25 weekend pass or a $15 pass for either Saturday or Sunday. Pre-schoolers are admitted free. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Monster Energy Motocross National series in Canada. The series

attracts top motocross racers not only from Canada but from around the world. Sand Del Lee Motocross Park can be reached from either Franktown Road west of Richmond or Fallowfield Road west of Huntley Road, taking Conley Road north from Franktown Road or taking Conley Road south from Fallowfield Road.

EMC sports - The Canadian Golf and Country Club is the place. Saturday, Aug. 25 is the date. The 9th annual Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament is the event. It is hoped that this year’s tournament will raise over $34,000, just like every tournament since 2006 has done. Indeed, over $300,000 has been raised by these tournaments since they began in 2004. Again this year all of the proceeds from the tournament will go to Tori’s Helping Hand which was established in 2005 and is part of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs Inc. It provides funds to palliative care oncology children and their families as well as to families whose children require a transplant. The funds for palliative children helps the families provide much needed comfort in their child’s last days. This comfort might come in the way of a comfortable chair, a spa visit, a puppy or other desired item. Anyone who would like to participate in this year’s tournament on Saturday, Aug. 25 should email Kim or Paul Carswell at kcarswell@rogers.com or contact them at 613-836-2183. Sponsors and volunteers are also welcomed as well. Last year’s eighth annual tournament, also held at the Canadian Golf and Country Club, saw $35,117 raised. The post-tournament evening was MC’d by Michael O’Byrne from CTV Ottawa. The winning team of golfers at last year’s tournament consisted of Paul Carswell, Steve Carswell, Ian Riggs and Don Cumming. The second place team included Gerry Chenier, Rick Raymond, Richard Dinelle and Gary Theoret. Most honest golfers in last year’s tournament were Steve Rogers, Jen Lanthier, NickyLanthier Rogers and Buzz Lanthier-Rogers. This tournament and Tori’s Helping Hand are named after Tori Carswell of Stittsville who died of a childhood cancer called neuroblastoma in Jan. 2004. Funds raised by friends, family and the community of Stittsville ensured that Tori had some special moments during her last weeks of life. This is what inspired the Carswell family to set up Tori’s Helping Hand so that other palliative care oncology children could enjoy the same experience. The $18,000 raised by the tournament in its initial year of 2004 went to the Neuroblastoma Research Fund and the Children’s Wish Foundation. Since 2005, the funds raised by the tournament have been directed to Tori’s Helping Hand. Tori Carswell was born in 1994 but she began having back and leg pains after turning five years old. That’s when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma – she was just three weeks shy of her sixth birthday. After a family Christmas in 2003, her health quickly deteriorated and she passed away on Jan. 16, 2004.

Historical Society off to Waba Cottage Special to the News

After lunch at a bistro at Burnstown, the otilla of individual vehicles will proceed on to White Lake and the Waba Cottage Museum. There will be interpreters on site who will be giving a tour. The site also has gardens which are well worth visiting. Besides the stone Waba Cottage Museum, the site also includes a church and a schoolhouse. The Waba Cottage Museum is located on the north shore of White

EMC news - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is organizing a visit to the Waba Cottage Museum at White Lake this coming Saturday, Aug. 11. Historical Society members and friends will be meeting in the parking lot at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville at 11 a.m. that day to travel to White Lake, with a luncheon stop on the way at Burnstown.

Lake. The Museum has a display of the authentic belongings of Archibald McNab, the Laird of McNab, the 13th Chief of the clan McNab and the founder of McNab township. The original McNab home on the site was destroyed in 1936 but its remains have been faithfully restored on the original foundation. The old log schoolhouse on the site was built in 1878. The church now on the site was originally located in the village of White Lake.

An late breaking added attraction at the Waba Cottage Museum will be on an-site antiques appraisal. Ross Wilson from the Canadian Antiques Roadshow will be there to appraise military memorabilia while appraiser Kim Murray will also be on hand to give appraisals of china, glass and decorative objects. Each appraisal will cost ďŹ ve dollars. Historical Society members who plan to go on this excursion should

let the Historical Society know by emailing goulbournhistoricalsociety@gmail.com. This information is needed due to the lunch stop in Burnstown and ensuring that space is reserved for the group at the bistro there. The entry fee at the Museum is two dollars per person. The lunch will likely cost between $10 and $15. All costs are to be paid individually at both the Museum and the restaurant.
