Coun. raises concerns about new pot dispensary Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he will be keeping an eye on a new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his community on Iber Road. Qadri, who is chair of Ottawa’s health board, has publicly opposed the facility, saying he’s not comfortable with its location – within walking distance of four schools. The owner also didn’t go through the proper channels with the city, according to Qadri, adding he will be putting pressure on police to check the facility out once it opens. The facility looks like a medical clinic and there’s a three stage screening process before clients are even allowed in the dispensary. See NEW, page 2

New service ‘life changing’ for woman suffering from MS Continued from page 1
The facility looks like a medical clinic and there’s a three stage screening process before clients are even allowed in the dispensary. Potential customers have to bring a prescription from their doctor as well as government issued identification before setting up a patient profile to access the array of marijuana-derived products. The owner, Franco Vigile, said the facility, one of two he has opened in the west end, is filling a need. Right now, doctors prescribe medical marijuana and the product is shipped from licensed
providers – such as Tweed in Smiths Falls. Margaret Hofsink, a client who suffers from multiple sclerosis, uses marijuana to treat muscle spasm, anxiety, depression and fatigue. Hofsink said the strain and method of delivery vary throughout the day depending on her needs. She smokes a high cannabidiol strain in the morning that’s better for inflammation and uses oil and gel caps during the day for pain management. In the evening to increase her appetite and help her sleep, Hofsink said she uses a strain with a higher amount of THC. Thanks to the Carling
Avenue Magna Terra clinic – which is already operating – she said she’s able to work with staff on tailoring her medicine so she’s using less. Before she came to Magna Terra last month, she said she had to rely on an imperfect mailing system. The product didn’t always arrive on time and it wasn’t always good quality. Hofsink said allowing Snoop Dogg to acquire part of Tweed now means she unwanted advertising emails about pop culture events. “I am in it for the medication, not the culture,” she said. With easy access to the medicine she needs, Hofsink

said she has a new lease on life. It’s those kinds of people Vigile is trying to help, he said, adding that’s why he’s willing to put his neck on the line in advance of licensing. “Imagine having cancer and having to wait for your medicine to come in the mail,” the Algonquin grad said. Qadri stresses that the facility in Stittsville, which starts its service in early August, will be operating illegally. He said aside from the lack of federal licensing, the area is not zoned for retail. Qadri said he asked Vigile to hold a public consultation and seek the proper zoning amendments. “I can’t speak to why he didn’t do that,” Qadri said. Vigile held an open house for residents at the new Stittsville location on Aug. 2 and 3, but that’s not good enough, Qadri said. “People who are going to visit the facility are likely already in favour,” Qadri said. “An open house in an alternative location would have a different mix of perspectives.” Stittsville Village Community Association president Tanya Hein said while the community association hasn’t had an official meeting since the opening of the facility was made public, she’s heard opinions on both sides of the issue. “From my perspective, I think they should wait to operate until they can do so legally,” she said, adding she isn’t concerned about school children accessing the dis-

Shad Qadri says he will be urging a police to keep an eye on Magna Terra, the new medical marijuana dispensary operating on Iber Road. pensary. “Kids who want it, will find a way to get pot,” she said. But Qadri insisted no matter how good the security is, there’s a chance it could be breached. He used the example of adults being approached by minors outside of liquor stores asking them to buy alcohol. “That could happen there,” he said. But Vigile maintains the concerns are unfounded. Each customer has an electronic profile, that tracks their prescriptions and the strains they’ve purchased in the past. While he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey
area, he said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana. In the meantime, he will fill the gap. Kitchissippi Coun. Jeff Leiper, whose ward houses the other Magna Terra facility on Carling Avenue, said there has been little to no communication to his often since the dispensary opened. “I imagine its location has something to do with that,” he wrote in an email. “Carling is an arterial main street and a significant distance from the kinds of facilities and institutions that people might have concerns about in relation to anything related to drugs.”

Art in the park set for Sunday
Elizabeth Radmore is one of the 60 vendors to appear at the Arts in the Park event set for Aug. 14. Radmore will be showcasing her artwork and adding a little of the mystical with her crystal ball and tarot cards.
More than 60 vendors expected for annual event Jennifer McIntosh

Doug Sutherland says this year visitors to the Stittsville Community Association’s Arts in the Park event can expect to see everything from handmade crafts to baked goods. “The more variety you have, the more people you attract,” he said. The event – originally planned for June – was rained out at first, but that gave organizers time to make things bigger and better, Sutherland said. Author, artist and tarot card reader Elizabeth Radmore is one of the artists who will be on hand showcasing her wares. Radmore, who is currently working on her fourth book, based on the story of a woman who worked in a Magdalene Laundry in Ireland, said she is going to get a little mystical this year and bring her crystal ball and tarot cards. Radmore’s story is an interesting one. Now retired, Radmore works full time on painting. She developed a niche market of painting houses and cottages on stones. She covers them with three varnishes so they are safe outside and will even add on additions like chimneys. When she’s not creating imaginary cottages for gardens, she’s working on telling her own story and those of others. She started with a series of books about her time with a band of gypsies and her return to Ireland before immigrating to Canada. Radmore and her father had

joined a band of gypsies to survive after he lost his job at the shipyard where they built the Titanic. She learned to read tarot cards at the age of eight, when an older woman took pity on her and showed her how. “The other children didn’t want to play with me much because I was different,” Radmore said. While she was learning about fortune telling, her father was doing bare knuckle fighting. He earned enough to get them back to Ireland and on a ship headed for Canada. After three books, Radmore said she wanted to branch out and share someone else’s story. The next book, which she hopes to be finished by the end of the year, is based on sto-
ries from a friend who spent time in a Magdalene Laundry, a practice of the Roman Catholic Church from the 18th to 20th centuries to house women of “ill repute.” “It’s not just based on her story, a lot will be from my imagination, but I have been kind of interviewing her,” Radmore said. Aside from the mystic, visitors to Arts in the Park, which will run from noon to 5 p.m. at Stittsville Main and Abbot streets, will be able to look at jewellery, pottery, paintings and baked goods, Sutherland said.

Stittsville daycare a ‘hidden gem’ Preschool program to double this fall Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Nestled in beside Stittsville Public School is the Andrew Fleck childcare centre, problem is, a lot of people don’t know it’s there. Andrew Fleck is a not for profit agency which runs seven centres throughout the city, as well as a slate of licensed home child care providers. The Stittsville centre recently got approval from the Ministry of Education to add 16 spots to the preschool program – which offers care for kids aged two-and-a-half to pre-kindergarten, is just to the left of the entrance to Stittsville Public School on Granite Ridge Drive. Lyne Tremblay, manager for group care programs with Andrew Fleck, said the centre is licensed for 149
kids – 32 of them in the preschool program, 52 in the kinder program and 65 in the school age program. “It’s a great place, but no one knows we are here,” said early childhood educator Lisa Belton. “I just showed a parent around the other day because her oldest child is starting kindergarten. Now she will be sending him and his younger sister to our preschool program. The space, some of which is borrowed from the school, is bright and airy, with pintsized furniture and food courtesy of Bytown Catering. The preschool kids were enjoying a chicken pot pie lunch with carrots during a week of learning about camping – complete with bonfire paintings and mock marshmallow roasts.

The staff have fun and it’s obvious that they enjoy being with the kids. Everyone is excited to add to the roster in the fall. There will also be a new playground for the preschool kids in the side yard, made up of a sand box, and bamboo fencing – a more natural look than the traditional multi-coloured steel structure, Tremblay said. Andrew Fleck childcare centres have the ability to offer subsidized spaces thanks to a license with the city. Legislative changes over the last couple of years have opened up options for parents, who now have the daycare subsidy attached to the child, rather than the centre. In practical terms, that means parents have more choice about where their child receives care. Tremblay said Andrew Fleck is open to the new parental choice.
“We have really strong programs, so we have embraced the floating parental subsidy,” she said. And there’s a need, said Belton, adding subsidized daycare spots were hide to come by before the policy shift, as most child care spots in Stittsville were for profit, or private and didn’t offer subsidy. “There are a lot of multicultural people coming to Stittsville now, and the population at the school is growing,” Belton said, adding that there will be two new portables coming at the start of the school year. The centre opened in 2006 and most of the staff have been working there since it opened. “It’s a lot of fun,” Belton said. Tremblay said the centre staff is available to offer tours for parents. The phone number is 613-836-0325.

Sacred Hearts students try to lend a hand Weekend fundraiser aims to help build schools in Nicaragua Jennifer McIntosh
jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
After seeing first hand the good work that SchoolBox does in Nicaragua, Lyndsey Meikle, a soon-to-be-Grade 12 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, decided she wants to lend a hand. Lyndsey and her friend Matthew Smart were part of a group of 11 students in University and Grade 12 to venture to the Central American country last month to spend 10 days helping to build a grade school for local kids. “It was a life changing experience,” Lyndsey said, adding she’s never been out of Canada before. It was such an amazing experience, that Lyndsey said she plans to return to another job site next summer. The group touched down in Managua on July 7.
Immediately upon departing the plane, Lyndsey said you could feel the extreme heat and humidity even though it was night. After spending the night at the hotel, the group headed to a school in Granada to see what volunteers that came before them had done.
“It was a life changing experience.” Lyndsey Meikle
“It was amazing, the kids recognized the van and came running,” she said, adding the group stopped and played some soccer with the kids before heading to Masaya to start working on another school. SchoolBox hires a local crew to do some of the work, but volunteers dig trenches and do a lot of the
grunt work to help out. “I learned a lot,” Lyndsey said. The schools and supplies often make it possible for children in communities like Masaya to get an education. In an effort to raise money, a bunch of her friends have come together to host a garage and bake sale planned for Aug. 13 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 1 Franklin Cathcart Cres to raise money for construction of a new school. The group of students have already raised $9,000 over the past couple of years and hope to add to that amount. “We are moving, so I am gathering furniture and clothes we don’t need and other people are doing the same,” Lyndsey said, adding some volunteers will be baking. Lyndsey said they will also be selling hand weaved baskets and maracas they brought back from Nicaragua.
The sale is planned for the afternoon at 1 Franklin Cathcart Cres.

Hazy pot rules becoming a joke
T
he organic growth of the pot dispensary business across Canada has almost been laughable — almost. We know how this happened, but it shouldn’t have. The majority of Canadians over recent years have clearly indicated through public opinion polls that they are fine with legal marijuana, and not just for medicinal purposes. The new federal Liberal government campaigned on making pot legal, and says it will do so next year. And in that opening rushed in the clowns. These dispensaries, some of which admittedly seem to be more medicinal focused than some others that come across as glorified head shops, are popping up like weeds across the country and in Ottawa. One of the newest, which seems to be one of those more attuned to the medical angle of the emerging above ground pot trade, is opening up in Stittsville and the local councillor is not amused. Coun. Shad Qadri says he’ll be watching the new medical marijuana dispensary opening in his com-
munity on Iber Road. He says it’s within walking distance of four schools, there was no public consultation about the facility prior to setting up shop, that it hasn’t gone through a zoning process and, by the way, it’s illegal. That’s a pretty damning list of objections, and on all counts Qadri is right. The store’s owner told Metroland Media at an open house that he acknowledges he’s operating in a legal grey area. He said the city and the federal government need to work on improving access to medical marijuana. But the fact is that at this time there is no legal grey area when it comes to opening a business selling pot, for whatever reason, to the public. That is still illegal, and the rush to open these is like a low-tech Uber attack on local government’s ability to maintain order. In this “legal grey area” is it silly to enforce minor pot possession cases in light of the pending legalization? Perhaps. But there is nothing hazy about the blossoming of a full-scale pot store industry in the meantime. It is out of control, and these rogue operations should be nipped in the bud.
Marijuana and the legal grey area
I
love my neighbourhood. I can be in nature in two minutes, launch my kayak on the Ottawa River, buy fresh bread at the bakery, I can get my licence renewed at the Ministry office, and now I can buy pot. It was only a matter of time. Within the last few weeks, a marijuana dispensary has opened in my residential Ottawa neighbourhood. I happened to run by it one morning, on my usual route through houses and past the local elementary school. Yes, the dispensary is a block from a school and a few doors down from a music studio that caters to children. But, last time I checked, it’s illegal to sell marijuana. On June 30, a joint statement from federal ministers of justice, public safety and health on the establishment of a task force to legalize and regulate marijuana noted the following: “The posses-

sion, production, and trafficking of marijuana remains illegal. This includes storefronts selling marijuana, commonly known as ‘dispensaries’ and ‘compassion clubs.” And yet, dispensaries are showing up everywhere. Why aren’t we shutting these things down? Personally, I don’t see the point in legalizing marijuana. I see the benefit of it for medicinal purposes in a controlled way. Otherwise, I prefer marijuana as a socially unacceptable drug. I don’t want my kids using it. I don’t want them to think it’s a socially acceptable habit. I prophesize that
governments will try to revoke legalization 20 years from now when they realize that marijuana is a public health burden comparable to alcohol or smoking. I also realize I’m in the minority on this one. The majority of Canadians support the legalization of marijuana. A poll of 1,000 people conducted by The Globe and Mail and Nanos in February found 68 per cent of Canadians support legalization. In Ontario, more than 70 per cent support legalization, while British Columbians are 75 per cent in favour of legalized pot. Most of those polled believe weed should be sold at marijuana dispensaries, similar to the ones emerging in neighbourhoods across the country, except regulated. Even me, in my conservative stance, could accept this. But why are we allowing illegal shops to operate in the absence of laws?

There seems to be little, if any, appetite among local officials to shut down these places, which are emerging rapidly in urban centres and residential neighbourhoods across the country In Vancouver, it’s rumoured there are more pot shops than coffee shops. The city has placed restrictions on locations near vulnerable populations, but not much else. In Toronto, a raid of 47 dispensaries in May and June led to the arrest of 90 people. Police laid more than 250 criminal charges, including possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and 71 proceeds of crime, yet some of the raided locations simply reopened the following morning. And despite the opening of up to eight dispensaries in Ottawa in recent weeks, the police have yet to take any significant action. Marijuana is illegal. City councillors, the mayor and local police should be doing everything in their authority to shut these dispensaries down permanently.

operate is not in the same realm of regulatory safety as eventual legalization. Don’t take my word for it. The federal government has said in the absence of legislation, “decriminalization would not provide any regulatory control over the quality and safety of ...marijuana, and would not help keep marijuana out of the hands of youth.” Let’s be smart. Shut the crooks down.

Riverkeeper, River Institute delighted Ottawa River given heritage status John Carter
john.carter@metroland.com
After more than a decade of waiting, the Ottawa River has been officially designated as a Canadian Heritage River to the delight of many area politicians, tourism officials, environmentalists and history buffs. “We’re very happy. It was long overdue … it’s very encouraging,” said Ottawa River Institute president Ole Hendrickson. “It’s great timing with the Canada’s 150th celebration coming up.” He said the heritage designation will “open the door for more tourism in this area and could help with (grant) funding.” In a news release, the Ottawa Riverkeeper said she is “thrilled” the announcement that the river will come under Parks Canada’s Canadian Heritage Rivers System. “No river in Canada reverberates as strongly with the Canadian spirit as the Kitchi Sibi, la rivière des Outaouais, the Ottawa River,” said Riverkeeper Meredith Brown. The Upper Ottawa Valley’s former Liberal MP Len Hopkins chaired a broad-based committee that has argued for the designation since 2003, said Hendrickson.
He said its research was excellent, well documenting the historical and geographical significance of the river. The Ottawa Riverkeeper organization was a strong supporter and always talked it up at its gala gatherings, he added. It had taken the lead on bringing watershed players together, organizing two Ottawa River Summits and is working to create a watershed council and an inclusive model of watershed governance that will improve collaboration and decision-making around river issues. At the 2015 Ottawa River Summit in Gatineau, the Riverkeeper organization tabled a declaration for river protection, co-created by the Ottawa River Summit Advisory Committee and representing various sectors of society – including municipal governments, First Nations, businesses, provincial and federal agencies, and not-for-profit Although the federal and Ontario governments have designated only the Ontario portion of the Ottawa River as a Canadian Heritage River, Quebec is not being left out. The Ottawa Riverkeeper has been working with Quebec to find an appropriate way for the province
tire course of the Ontario portion of the river through the Ottawa Valley and the Renfrew County and all the way upriver to Lake Timiskaming and downriver to the Quebec border at East Hawkesbury, a length of 590 kilometres. If, as expected, Quebec assigns its own heritage designation to its portion of the river, adding the 681 kilometres of the ‘Outaouais’ that flow entirely in Quebec, it will mean all 1,271 kilometres of the river will have heritage status. There are 42 Canadian Heritage Rivers (39 designated and another three nominated) across Canada.
land and has been used as a thoroughfare and transportation route for millennia. Under the leadership of Parks Canada, the Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS) is a joint federal-provincial-territorial initiative that gives national recognition to Canadian rivers of extraordinary natural, cultural and recreational significance. It promotes, conserves and enhances Canada’s river heritage, helps to ensure that Canada’s leading rivers are managed in a sustainable manner, and encourages the public to enjoy and appreciate them. The designation covers the en-
to acknowledge the importance of the river and it is anticipated it will be making its own announcement in 2017. “That our shared river is rich in history and has played a critical role in shaping our culturally unique communities is something we can all agree on,” Brown said. She said she hopes this designation “will enhance our collective sense of river pride and inspire people to respect and protect the river that flows through their community and through their veins.” The granting of the heritage designation, rumoured since the Liberal government was elected last year, was proclaimed in a news release July 28. The joint federalOntario announcement designating the Ontario portion of the Ottawa River as a Canadian Heritage River “for its outstanding cultural heritage values” was made by Ontario Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry Kathryn McGarry and Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna, who is also the minister responsible for Parks Canada.

UPS has plans to park truck terminal in Kanata west Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
UPS is planning to park a truck transport terminal in the Kanata West Business Park located near Campeau and Palladium drives. The shipping company submitted a site plan to the city in July for a parcel of land located at 8825 Campeau Dr. The subdivision, which the city is calling the Kanata West Business Park, is planned to contain a mix of retail, service, employment and light industrial uses. The city’s media department, in an emailed response credited to David Wise, program manager of development review, said the application fits within the current zoning and the application is “compliant with the Official Plan direction for this area.” The application from UPS features a proposed building with 40 loading bays measuring about 3,770 square metres, with the ability to expand in the future. The terminal would have three entrances off Campeau Drive – two for large trucks, and one for employees and visitors that would enter a 127-space parking lot. A four-space bicycle rack, large enclosed garbage and recycling storage area, and propane fuel pad are noted in the application. UPS is planning to purchase the currently vacant parcel of land, which measures about 41,770 squaremetres, from Taggart Realty Management, according to the application. A UPS spokesperson said details on the application couldn’t be provided as the project has not been finalized. The deadline for comments on the proposal is Aug. 26 and can be submitted to planner John Bernier at 613-580-2424 ext. 21576 and john.bernier@ ottawa.ca. The target date for a decision from the city’s planning department is Sept. 27. To see the site plan application, visit Ottawa.ca/ devapps.

Ambush rocks Richmond crowd John Brummell

Once again this year, the featured headliner at the first of two concerts to be held on the Agricultural fairgrounds in Richmond this August, was the crowd favourite AMBUSH Band. More than three hundred people attended the open air concert which is sponsored by Waste Management and the City of Ottawa on Aug. 4. The Ontario band has been a crowd favourite at the annual
event for several years and they didn’t disappoint as they rocked out song after song from the most popular recent hits to a mix of some of their own recorded music. Lead singer, Mark McDonell, who displays extraordinary ability with his Fender Stratocaster Guitar is backed up by a tight pairing in Bassist Kris Lafontaine and drummer Dan Killen. McDonell, a professed devout family man, took a break from his electric guitar to perform a song from their new album
dedicated to his daughter Gracie, performing the song with a decidedly more mellow sound of an Acoustic guitar. Throughout the evenings event the crowd took to the area in front of the stage to dance and enjoy a Band that has been touring Ontario for almost Eighteen years. The crowd was kept fed and happy thanks to the efforts of the Richmond/ Stittsville 4H Club who sold Hamburgers and Hotdogs to the attending Crowd.

Sooners win on and off the field at first annual Shriners Bowl Special to the News
The Ottawa Sooners Football Club defeated the visiting Chateauguay Raiders 21-14 to claim the first annual Shrine Bowl in front of hundreds of fans and supporters at Keith Harris Stadium on Saturday, July 23. “We brought a lot of players in as we’re still in evaluation mode, but both sides of the ball, our special teams – everybody really came out and impressed us,” stated new Sooners head coach Geoff Graham following the
victory. “I thought our new coaching staff did an excellent job preparing the players for this game.”
“We love football and we wanted to spread that with the community.” Tammy Allarie
“We’re thrilled with what we saw today and thankful for Chateauguay for coming up and having a wonderful day of football with us” While coaches and man-
agement used the exhibition game as a final opportunity to evaluate players, the day also represented the team’s first step to reconnecting with alumni, community partners, and fans young and old. The Shrine Bowl was presented in proud partnership with the Tunis Shriners No. 179 and all proceeds went to support the Shriners Hospitals for Children. The festival atmosphere included face painting, barbeque, bagpipes, cheerleaders and mascots. John and Tammy Allarie,
who purchased the club after the 2015 season, said it was both exciting and a relief for the day to arrive and be so successful. “When John and I were growing up the Sooners were a big deal, and we wanted to bring that excitement back,” Tammy revealed. “We love football and we wanted to spread that with the community.” “I’m very pleased with all the help from the volunteers, all the fans, the effort the players and coaches have put together,” said John. “We couldn’t be happier.”

Mick Armitage to retire want to accomplish in this business,” he explains. “I’m 68 and honestly, how many times can you play the fall fair circuit,” he chuckles. “Don’t get me wrong – I’ve loved all of it. But you have to know when to stop.” Armitage insists this is his last full year, despite the fact his band will get back together for one concert early in 2017. “I always honour my commitments. We were booked to play the 2017 Valentine’s Charity Ball (in Ottawa in February) two years ago. “But after nearly 35 years of performing regularly we (current group) will disband in 2016.” This year they remain on the fall fair circuit. They’ll be at the Shawville Fair in Armitage’s adopted home town on Sunday, Sept. 4 and they open for the popular band Chilliwack at the Richmond Fair, in west Ottawa, on Friday night, Sept. 16. “It will be nice to open for a band that is older than us,” Armitage quips. As for Shawville, he and his band are a fixture at the annual agricultural fair and exhibition. “It (Shawville Fair) is the best fair anywhere. This will mark the 16th year in a row we’ve played there. I want to thank Elwyn Lang and the Pontiac Agricultural Society for their support over the years,” he states.
Jeff Maguire
Mick Armitage has always loved the drums. The Ottawa-born musician, who grew up in the west Quebec town of Shawville, was heavily influenced by the British rock and roll bands who invaded North America in the 1960s. His interest soon focused on the drums and those who played them including Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles’ Ringo Starr. “I liked the Beatles of course. But I love the Stones. There’s an edge to their music that appeals to me,” Armitage says, quickly adding that the English band must be good. “It’s been over 50 years and the Stones are still touring,” he notes. Armitage has never been a full-time musician. But after more than three decades of performing he has certainly made a major mark in the music business in Ottawa, the Ottawa Valley and west Quebec. Since 1997 he has led the band that carries his own name. The Mick Armitage Band is popular in concert, at special events and fall fairs across the region. “We’re Nepean-based, but Valley bred,” he observes. Now, after performing regularly since the early 1980s, Armitage is retiring from the music business. “I guess it’s really a case of turning a page. I don’t feel I have anything else I
The performance Armitage calls “our grand finale” will take place in the Carp Agricultural Hall in the West Carleton section of rural west Ottawa on Saturday, Nov. 5. “There’s going to be a set by the old ‘Racoons on Ice’ (his original band which began playing in the 1980s). The set will include Roger Plant from Carleton Place (now living in British Columbia), David Babineau and Robbie Dontigny, both from Arnprior, Bruce Baker from Stittsville and me. “There will be a few special guests playing that night. Among them will be world champion fiddle player Louis Schryer. So I hope to see all my friends and acquaintance in Carp in November,” Armitage says. “It will be a great party. I hope you can all attend!” Carp and West Carleton are also near and dear to the long-time musician and concert promoter. “My Dad (Roly Armitage) is the former mayor of West Carleton and he’s much better known than I am,” he says flashing a broad grin. Besides being the exmayor of the district the elder Armitage is perhaps best known for his career as a veterinarian in both the Pontiac region of Quebec and the Ottawa area. “Dad has delivered a lot of calves and foals and saved a lot of pets over the years,” his son outlines.
Grand finale
“He’ll be 92 on his next birthday and he’s still going strong. He is still in the horse racing business.” Besides his long career as a vet, followed by a tenure in municipal politics as a councillor, mayor and regional council member, Roly Armitage is a decorated World War II veteran. He has also served as general manager of Rideau-Carleton Raceway in Ottawa and GM of Carp Airport. “My father has had a truly incredible life,” Mick says proudly.
Armitage credits his current and past bandmates with keeping him in the music business for so long. “I’ve made so many lifelong friends along the way. And the bands I’ve played with are all long-standing ones.” As for the Mick Armitage Band he takes no special credit. “Everyone is important in this group. After I split with Racoons on Ice (in 1997) I decided it was time to take control of my own life. I immediately started this band.
“A very wise musician once told me that every band needs a leader and I hope I have been that all these years. “I think it’s true. Look at ‘Ambush’ (another longstanding area band). Mark McDonell is the acknowledged leader. He has been a great role model for me.” Armitage traces his musical interest back to the 1960s and his teen years in Shawville. See VETERAN, page 15

The National Capital Kart Club (NCKC) in conjunction with Podium Special Event Management hosted the Capital Karting Grand Prix and the 2016 Mayor’s Cup of Wishes on Aug. 6 at Karter’s Korners in Stittsville. Billed as an opportunity to both promote karting and support local charities, the event drew 8 teams of forty drivers to participate in the 2nd year of the Mayor’s Cup of wishes race. The
five drivers per team spent the day participating in ‘open’ practice and ‘timed’ practice sessions leading up to the late afternoon, one hundred and ninety minute Mayor’s Cup race. Each team of five racers were to collectively score the fastest times to qualify as the overall winning team. Each team member had to drive 7 laps on the nine hundred meter fully sanctioned race course. Several local business were represented by teams with the crown favourite being a team from the Canadian Forces. All profits from
the day’s special karting event were earmarked for 6 Charities. Cystic Fibrosis Canada, Senators Foundation, Children’s Wish Foundation, Roger’s House, The HERA Mission of Canada and Soldier On, an organisation founded in 2006 to empower retired and serving members of the Canadian Forces with an illness or injury (visible or nonvisible) to accept their new normal by adopting a new, more active, lifestyle.

Veteran musician to make way for new talent Continued from page 13
“I started playing music there in the early `60s and performed for nearly five years, until about 1969.” In 1983 he was living in Edmonton, where he worked for Hy’s of Canada managing a nightclub and restaurant for the hospitality chain. “A friend from Ottawa called to say he was starting a band and wanted me on the drums. I was lonely and within six months I had moved back here.” Following his return to the capital he and Rick Ponitoski, along with the late Brad Summerfield and Rocky Bertrand (also deceased) began practicing together. The four musicians merged as Racoons on Ice. Armitage himself borrowed the name from the popular television show of the time, hosted by Kevin Gillis. “Our very first job was at the old Madawaska Hotel in Arnprior. We opened for a great local band of that era called Jude.” Busy band Armitage says Racoons on Ice were soon much in demand! “Within a few years we were doing up to 50 gigs a year. One December we did 17 shows. We performed six times in Mexico and we even taped a CTV show on location at Los Angeles Locos Resort in Manzanillo (on Mexico’s Pacific coast). Local favourites Delmer and Cecil and Gail Gavan were with us for that show,” he explains. “That show was aired nationally a few times. “We also recorded one cassette and a few lives shows during the period I was performing, promoting and booking the `Coons. I was also the solo roadie until we could find a lad who was willing to endure the long hours, working for peanuts,” Armitage observes. Racoons on Ice also won the ‘Share CHEZ Contest’ (run by the Ottawa radio station) and released a song Armitage co-wrote with Steve Wheeler entitled “Get Out to Work.” He says conflicts within the band resulted in him being asked to step down. “They say ‘It’s an ill wind that blows no good’ and that’s how it was in this case. I formed my own band.” The Mick Armitage Band began by playing
in small bars. Very quickly they emerged as a force in the Ottawa Valley and West Quebec and secured bookings at dances, shows and fairs across the region. The first foursome included Armitage, Plant, Baker and Tiger Tanner from Shawville. “Within a year we added Al Bragg from Kanata – the Reverend – on pedal steel and piano and Grant Tomkinson from Westmeath on bass. Along with Roger, we became the nucleus of the band.” Bragg is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. “Roger moved to B.C. a few years ago and another great Ottawa talent, Al Tambay (guitar and vocals) stepped in. We’ve been rockin’ together ever since!” He says the five have formed close bonds. “Grant, Bruce, Al and the Reverend – we’re like brothers. I could not have hoped for better friends and musicians to work with.” o many weddings that we are now performing at the weddings of the children of couples we played for years ago,” he laughs. The band has opened for Johnny Reid, Kim Mitchell, David Wilcox, George Canyon, Terri Clark, the Stampeders and many others. Now it is time for Armitage to step aside and make room for the area’s up and coming musical talent. One group he feels will go far is Ottawa’s Ramblin’ Valley Band. “They are excellent,” he stresses. “Due to some health issues – a bad back and poor hearing – it’s time to retire from running the roads. With great difficulty it’s time to call it a day. “We’ve worn out about 15 roadies over the years. The timing is good because our current roadie, Lorenzo Bracci, graduates from University of Ottawa this year,” he explains. “I want to thank my bandmates, my family and friends and all the great people who have supported me and the band over the years. “As the Stones said, ‘It’s only rock and roll – but I like it.’” Tickets for the Armitage band’s grand finale in Carp Nov. 5 are available by email at: mickarmitage@sympatico.ca or 613-8597740. Some proceeds from the show will go to the Carp Agricultural Society and the Constance Bay Royal Canadian Legion branch.

Local Choir Returns Home after European tour Special to the News
It was a tired but triumphant group of singers who bid each other farewell in Prague to go their separate ways - some home, some off to further travel in Europe. Thirty members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers (GJS) had just spent a week performing in some of Salzburg and Prague’s most beautiful and historical venues. Under the direction of Linda Crawford, with the accompaniment of Bonnie McDiarmid, GJS, an area community mixedvoice choir founded in 1977, performed a Canadian-based repertoire in several different venues, including the Mozarteum in Salzburg and Melk Abbey near Vienna.
www.ottawacommunitynews.com
u You co
The tour started with a performance at the Mozarteum, Salzburg’s University for Music and the Dramatic Arts. A great highlight of the choir’s time in Salzburg, and the reason many members signed up for the trip, was the performance of the Missa Solemnis, the last complete mass Mozart ever wrote, in Salzburg Cathedral, along with the Salzburg Cathedral Choir and Hastings & Prince Edward Regional Chorus. Asked afterwards whether it lived up to their expectations, many
said it was an incredibly overwhelming experience that brought tears to their eyes. After four days in Salzburg enjoying Austrian hospitality, the group moved on to the Abbey at Melk, Austria overlooking the Danube where they performed a short program of liturgical music. After the performance and a tour, it was on to Prague for some sightseeing and the final performance of the tour at the Church of St. Martin in the Wall, where they performed alongside a local Czech women’s choir, Cantarina, for a stirring and varied programme. This tour was the realization of a dream for many members of GJS and they return for the choir’s 40th anniversary season with renewed energy and enthusiasm. This season will see the choir partner with the Hastings & Prince Edward Regional Chorus on a programme that will celebrate this amazing milestone as well as Canada’s 150th birthday. GJS is a non-auditioned choir always looking for new members - for further information check them out on Facebook or at www.gjsingers.com. Wednesday night at Stittsville United Church.

Last chance to appeal zoning for Kanata North urban expansion plan jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Residents and community groups have until Aug. 17 to appeal the zoning for the Kanata North urban expansion plan. The plan would change the zoning of lands on either side of March Road, west of the CN rail corridor, east of Marchbrook Circle and Panandrick subdivisions, north of the existing urban boundary and Brookside subdivision and south of Hillsview subdivision as general ur-
ban area. There will also be amendments to allow for infrastructure, environmental and open space provisions for the plans. Council approved the proposed subdivision on July 13, which will include 3,000 residential dwellings, as well as a park-and-ride, a fire hall, four schools and four parks. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson also pushed for and won a bid to include a field house as part of the plan. The deadline for appeals to the plan is Aug. 17.
A notice of appeal can be mailed to the city clerk at 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa Ont. K1P1J1 or can be delivered to the information desk in the rotunda of the first floor no later than 4:30 p.m. on Aug. 17. Appeals are sent to the Ontario Municipal Board and require a prescribed fee of $300. Cheques can be made out to the Minister of Finance. Only individuals, corporations or public bodies may appeal a decision of the municipality to the OMB.

South Ottawa cyclist only Canadian to finish road race at Rio Games Brier Dodge
brier.dodge@metroland.com
Hillcrest graduate Mike Woods was the only Canadian male to finish a torturous Rio Olympic road race course on Aug. 6 at the Games in Brazil. There were three Canadians in the race, with Quebec cyclists Hugo Houle and Antoine Duchesne not completing the course. They spent most of the race protecting and supporting Woods on the course, said
a Cycling Canada press release. Woods, the only Canadian who finished, completed the 237.5-kilometre race in six hours, 30 minutes and five seconds. He finished in 55th place. “The initial part of the race went great,” said Woods in the release. “Hugo and Antoine did an amazing job of keeping me well positioned in the decisive moments of the race. I came into the climb third wheel, in the best position possible. I had really good
legs the first time up the climb and was starting to feel confident that I could do a top-10. “But the second time up the climb I just came apart with about three kilometres to go and lost the wheel in front of me, and went through a bad patch mentally” he said. “I’m pretty gutted to not be in a better position, and to fall through after the great job Hugo and Antoine did, but at the same time, I gave it my all.

Question: I have been off work since May 2016 and have been trying to obtain short-term disability insurance since then. My doctor has provided me with three sick notes since then and at our last appointment she told me not to work. However, my application for short-term disability insurance has been denied. I’ve given the disability insurer the notes from my doctor and I’ve gone through the appeal process but have been denied again. My employer is now asking when I will return and I’ve booked an appointment with my doctor to see what she thinks. What should I do? It is not uncommon for disability insurers to deny an initial application for short-term disability benefits. Often the reason cited for the denial is a lack of medical evidence of a disability. If the only documentation you have provided to the insurer are sick notes from your doctor it is usually of assistance to obtain further medical records from your doctor including something documenting your diagnosis. Often, after receiving such additional documentation an insurer will approve an application for disability benefits. If you continue to be denied benefits, it is likely time to consult with legal counsel. Also short-term disability About Allan Snelling

Westboro’s Michael Tayler failed to advance beyond the preliminaries in men’s kayaking at the Rio Olympic Games. Tayler competed in the men’s kayak preliminaries on Aug. 7. His 16th place finish wasn’t good enough to move forward at the Games. Tayler needed to fin-
ish in the top 15 in order to advance to the semifinals, but he narrowly missed qualifying by 0.18 of a second. His result is a better finish than his last Olympics, though. At the 2012 Games in London, he finished in 20th place. In Ottawa, supporters gathered at the Farm Team Cookhouse and Bar to support Tayler and cheer him on during his event.
This is, without a doubt, the hardest race I’ve ever done. The wind, the heat, and the 5,000 metres of climbing … throughout the day it was just so hard.” The race was won by Belguim’s Greg Van Avermaet. A number of athletes crashed on the course, and some quit early on to prioritize shorter events later in the Games. Fewer than half of the cyclists who started the event ended up finishing.

Embracing all paths that lead their way to pride New United Way Ottawa, Capital Pride initiative encourages people to celebrate, support LGBTQ+ community Michelle Nash Baker
michelle.nash@metroland.com
At four years-old, Charlie Lowthian-Rickert knew exactly who she wanted to be. And to make that happen, the first step was to ask for some Barbie dolls and pretty dresses. And most importantly, for her parents to never cut her hair again. “I want people to not care what was in my underwear, but how I felt in my heart,” Charlie said. Charlie was not born a girl,
but identifies as one. She said it’s how she has always felt. “My parents listened, and as you can see, they never cut my hair again,” Charlie said. The now 10-year-old added she is grateful her parents and family have offered nothing but unconditional love. “You have to listen to your kids,” said Charlie’s mom, Anne Lowthian. Lowthian and her husband, Chris Rickert, admitted they were not prepared to have their four-year-old son come to them and say he wanted to be referred to as ‘she’, but ulti-

mately Lowthian and Rickert said they just wanted to see their child happy. “I didn’t know what to think,” Lowthian said. “It was my first experience with anything outside the traditional ‘boy-girl’ we understood. But at the end of the day, it’s amazing what you can learn from your kids.” Charlie’s story is part of a community initiative called Path to Pride. Funded by the United Way Ottawa and Ottawa’s Capital Pride, the initiative was launched on Aug. 8 and aims to share stories from Ottawa’s LGBTQ+ community, as well as raise funds to support kids, families and seniors on their journeys. Community members are also invited to share their own personal journeys to pride, using the hashtag #PathtoPride. Over the past five years, the United Way has invested more than $400,000 in LGBTQ+ programs, including the Ten Oaks Project, Family Services Ottawa and the Ottawa Senior Pride Network to address challenges including dis-

Carol Gagnon, vice president of resource development at the United Way Ottawa, said Path to Pride offers support in a different kind of way. A proud lesbian, Gagnon
said the first form of acceptance is self-acceptance and said her own path to pride has not been an easy one. See PRIDE, page 32

“Everyone’s journey is different, and the people of Ottawa should support the LGBTQ+ community every step of the way,” Gagnon said. Gagnon said that aside from Charlie’s there are many stories already available to learn from at pathtopride.ca. Donations are accepted on the website, in an effort to continue to support programs for the LGBTQ+ community. “It’s not something you

Pride said asking Charlie to be the marshal was the easiest decision Capital Pride’s board ever made. “It just made sense,” Dopson said. “Pride as a platform represents education, positivity and openness and Charlie represents all those things.” Dopson said it’s amazing a 10 year-old can tell her story and not be afraid, and hopes that with Charlie at the helm of the parade, others will be more inclined to feel and do the same.

Construction set to begin on Hein House residential hospice Brick by Brick fundraiser to help furnish new rooms Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Construction is set to begin in earnest on Hein House before the end of summer. A ground-breaking celebration was held May 31 for the residential wing of the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata. Now that all approvals are in place and the tender process is underway, the builder is expected on site towards midAugust, said Kristina Voth-Childs, communications co-ordinator. “It’s been a long time coming,” she said, adding staff, volunteers and others in the community are excited to see the residence move from dream to reality. “We’re finally seeing some progress,” she said. “Our need every year is growing. We need more services so this is a step in the right direction.” The 10-bed residence will provide free around-the-clock care for people in their last days and weeks of life, while the two respite rooms will offer a space for short-term care. To help finish the project, Hospice Care Ottawa has launched a “Brick by Brick” fundraiser to outfit the rooms with windows, lights in the hallways, kitchen equipment so families can prepare meals while staying with their loved one, and comfortable furniture. “We’re trying to make it as cozy for the family as possible,” said Voth-Childs. “Residential hospice, it really is much more of a homelike environment compared to a hospital.” Hospice Care Ottawa, along with the Bruyère Foundation, fundraised more than $6 million through its Hospice Ottawa West Campaign over the past several years for the residential wing. The organization receives no government funding for capital projects. “While $6 million has been raised towards the build of Hein House many donations were made in the form of pledges, which will come in over the next few years,” said Voth-Childs. “We do have a need for additional cash on hand to help cover the costs of construc-
tion.” It will take about a year to complete the 12,592-square-foot addition, which will feature bathrooms in each room and access to the gardens. Hospice Care Ottawa has 19 beds – nine at the May Court Hospice in Old Ottawa South and 10 at Central West Hospice located in the west end. The beds located at Central West are a stopgap until Hein House is built. “We hope this is one step in the right direction in getting more hospice beds and getting more exposure,” said Voth-Childs. Last year the organization served 357 people in residential hospice – up from 290 in 2014. All programs are provided at no charge.

GreekFest will leave attendees feeling far from Ottawa without having to leave home, Aug. 11 to 21.
“You just feel like for those 11 days you are part of a culture that we all hold true to our heart,” said Eleni Dellis, general manager of the Hellenic Community of Ottawa. “And for those 11 days we kind

of feel like we are taken back to Greece. We have the Greek food, we have the Greek music, we have the Greek entertainment and everyone is feeling very festive.” From when the gates open to the time they close, musicians will be there to entertain. For much of that time, the sounds of the festival will blend with some traditional dancing and other entertainment. Anywhere between 60,000 and 80,000 people are expected to attend this year’s festival, said Dellis. It is located at 1315 Prince of Wales Dr., between Baseline Road and Meadowlands Drive. The festival takes place each year around Aug. 15; it’s a day commemorating the Virgin Mary, for whom the Greek Orthodox Church is named. That day hosts the official opening ceremonies, beginning at 12:30 p.m. and followed by an Olympic torch lighting ceremony. The festival first started as just a one or two day

celebration, then in 1975 it took off, said Dellis. Now, it’s an 11-day rain or shine party. The festival operates on an “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” policy, Dellis said, adding festival favourites such as the food and entertainment are staples. The tented area showing off lambs roasted on spits is something people are always attracted to, she said. Food at the festival includes souvlakis, gyros, greek poutine and roasted lamb and desserts ranging from baklava – a thin pastry stacked and topped with honey, sugar, cinnamon and nuts – to milopita – an apple cake. The festival is bringing in a new band from Montreal for this year. Alexandros will perform Aug. 14 to Aug. 17. There will be church tours in English and French, Greek language lessons, the popular Zorba dance show, olive oil tastings, Greek mythology seminars, dance groups and more. There will also be a bit of a change in the layout of the festival. Food will be grouped together under one tent, Dellis said. She added the change will be more efficient and better for festival goers. “On our very busy days we have

Jr. B hockey moves into west end Ottawa Canadians home ice now at Jack Charron Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Junior hockey is coming back to the Jack Charron Arena. The Ottawa Canadians Jr. B team will move into Kanata for the upcoming season and work closely with the Lasers Jr. A and midget AAA teams on player development. “The Kanata Lasers showed an interest and we wanted to get closer,” said Tasso Vasilas, owner and head coach of the Jr. B Ottawa Canadians. “It’s very exciting. These kids have dreams of playing at a higher level.” The Canadians used to play out of the Sandy Hill Arena in the east of Ottawa. The move from the city core to the suburbs will allow the Lasers to keep an eye on potential draftees and Jr. B players could be used as call-ups. “We’ll be right next door to them,” said Vasilas. “If you're 17 or 18 (years old), they most definitely can be playing Jr. A.” The Canadians first game of the season is Tuesday, Sept. 6, at 7 p.m. against the Ottawa West Golden Knights. “They’re a pretty big rival of ours,” said Vasilas. “Hopefully, we can attract some people to come and watch.” Jeff Jordan, head coach for Didn’t get your

The Ottawa Canadians Jr. B team will move into the Jack Charron Arena and work closely with the Lasers Jr. A and midget AAA teams on player development. the Kanata Lasers Jr. A and midget AAA teams, said he’s looking forward to the collaboration between teams in different levels of hockey. “It’s very convenient they’re moving out there,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity to work with Tasso and the Canadians, and have them local too. It sounds like we’re going to have a real good relationship.” The bulk of the Lasers midget AAA players are from Kanata and Stittsville, while a chunk of local players recruited for the Jr. A team are also from the west end, said John Hill, operations manager for the Kanata Lasers and former general manager of the Ot-
tawa Canadians. Adding a Jr. B team into the mix allows for additional training options. “We’re trying to keep more local kids playing for the local teams,” Hill said. “This way we can have them play in Jr. B and then move them up to Jr. A, depending on how they develop.” HOCKEY COMMUNITY
The Ottawa Canadians will play every Tuesday at the Glen Cairn arena during the regular season. With a large community surrounding Jack Charron, the goal is to draw more people to the games. “Its not the old goon-style
hockey that you used to see years ago in Jr. B,” said Vasilas. “It’s pretty good hockey.” The Ottawa Canadians won the league championship in 2009-10 and again in 2012-13. The Lasers used to play out of Jack Charron, before the team moved to the Kanata Recreation Complex. The team attracted a sizeable crowd for its games at the Glen Cairn arena. “There are quite a few people in a five minute walk from the arena,” said Hill. “The problem we have with the Lasers playing at the KRC – it’s a great facility but it’s in a bad location. On a cold winter’s night you can’t walk to the KRC.”

Kanata Food Cupboard welcomes new chair On Sunday, August 7th, Rev. Michel Dubord presided over the congregation at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church for the final time. After 18 years, Rev. Dubord is moving on. While I do not attend St. John’s, I know Michel well because of his involvement in the Richmond community. Whether it was an issue close to the church, the congregation or the community at large, Michel was there to help. He has been involved in the push to find more community space for our youth and seniors and he has been involved in working to welcome a Syrian refugee family to the village. He has a true passion for community and, for 18 years, it has shown. Over the last five and a half years, I have had the pleasure of working with him in my role as Councillor. Michel, congratulations on your time at St. John’s and best of luck in your future endeavors. You will be missed. Walk of Care Details Rural Ottawa South Support Services’ Annual Walk of Care takes place this year on September 10th at 10:00am at the Osgoode entrance to the Doug Thompson Multi-Use Pathway (5479 Osgoode Main). To register, forms can be picked up at both Manotick and Metcalfe offices, or online at www.walkofcare.ca. The Walk of Care is an annual fundraiser for ROSSS; a non-profit, charitable organization that delivers and arranges for a wide variety of services to help individuals and their families living in our catchment area. From meals to visiting and transportation to day programs, ROSSS is committed keeping seniors, adults with physical disabilities, and their caregivers connected to their community. West Ottawa Ladies Chorus The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) mixes it up singing selections from the classics, secular, popular, show tunes, jazz and swing. And they have fun doing it. Consider taking your voice beyond the shower and joining a group that not only sings, but enjoys a vital social atmosphere. Enthusiasm is the key ingredient needed to become one of the ‘Ladies’. Anyone who is not familiar with WOLC can check them out on Facebook or iTunes. Rehearsals are scheduled to start mid September and there are a few openings in each vocal range. Don’t read music? Director Robert Dueck prepares each vocal part on MP3s to take away the fear and enable members to learn their parts at home. WOLC hold rehearsals twice weekly so members can choose which is more convenient or they can attend both. This young dynamic group, now in its fifth year, has grown from a mere twelve to over thirty voices. Committed to bringing joy to the community, the WOLC perform at local senior’s residences leading up to a full concert performance. The spirit of Christmas is celebrated with music and this chorus delivers to an ever-growing audience. A meet-and-greet at the end of August/early September will give prospective singers a chance to meet the director and some of the chorus members and give them a chance to sample some of the repertoire. A gentle audition will confirm your voice range. For more information, email westottawaladieschorus@gmail.com. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.
Organization has charitable status reinstated Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
Jenna Sudds has taken over as chair of the Kanata Food Cupboard. A board member for seven years, Sudds has filled various roles including treasurer, operations committee, and vice-chair for the past two years. “To me, giving back to an organization like the Kanata Food Cupboard, it fits well with what I can contribute and how I can help,” said Sudds, who is also executive director of the Kanata North BIA. “The chair position – it’s a unique role to be able to help guide the future of the organization.” The food cupboard board is working on a number of projects this year that include introducing healthier food options. “It’s just such a relevant and critical service in our community,” said Sudds. “The fact we are serving 250 families a month is a very shocking and humbling thought. It’s hard to swallow that in our community there are people who aren’t able to meet their needs.” The food cupboard was serving about
180 families a month in 2010 when Sudds first joined, she said. The food cupboard recently had its charitable status reinstated after an error caused the Canada Revenue Agency to revoke it in February. “The CRA was efficient in getting it reinstated,” said Sudds. “We’re thrilled it’s been reinstated effective the date it was taken away so there’s no implications for donors.” When the error was made known, the food cupboard immediately reached out to its donors and volunteers, and put a message on its website. The glitch didn’t affect the organization’s ability to accept donations or continue its operations. “We felt like we needed to be transparent. It’s not something we want to hide,” said Sudds. “When it gets reinstated in a situation like ours it’s like it never happened.” HEALTHY OPTIONS
The board is working on a number of new initiatives this year, the most critical being providing healthier snack options for children. “About half of who we serve is children,” she said. “We’re working on developing some new messaging around our healthy food preferences and what would be most helpful for the families coming to us.” The food cupboard serves an average

of 250 families every month and school snacks are a big need, said Sudds. “We have a kids snack section and we’re looking at what we’re giving out and reflecting, ‘Is that what I feed my children?’ How can we make this look like what these kids should really be getting from a nutrition point of view?” The food cupboard is asking for donations of healthier snacks such as: • healthy granola bars that are peanut free; • unsweetened fruit cups; • unsweetened apple sauce; • juice boxes with less added sugar; • perishable donations of fruits, especially apples and oranges. Alongside healthier options for children is a similar project for all food donations and to “encourage donors to be donating healthier food choices,” said Sudds. “We’re really focusing on the healthy food initiative … and working towards encouraging more healthy food donations, be it perishable foods that are healthy and non-perishables as well.” The food cupboard introduced its fresh foods initiative in 2012, which gave more control to clients when selecting food for their families and offered healthier choices. “We’ve made some great strides in the last five years as far as changing some of our policies, how we go about serving our clients,” said Sudds. “We have improved the food selections. But I do think there’s still considerable work that can be done to enhance those food choices to ensure families are getting the healthiest food choices possible.” A revamped website, modernized logo and improved social networks are also in the works to “create a cohesive plan to keep in touch with volunteers, donors, community,” said Sudds. Past chair Marc Dumais stepped down in April at the food cupboard’s AGM after filling the role for half a decade. “After being the chair for five years, I thought it was a good time to give other individuals the opportunity to join the board, provide new ideas and a fresh perspective,” he said in an earlier article following his announcement. Five new members have joined the board of directors this year: Lynn Barclay, Lorie Stanley, Kevin Chapman, Peter Tinsley and Carol Seal. They join Sudds, Jonathan Dickers, Judy Myles, Jennifer Thomsen and Kody Wilson. “I’m excited by our current board of directors, the path our organization is taking,” said Sudds. “I really think they have the best interests of the community at heart and are working to improve the quality of service we provide.” - With files from Adam Kveton
Business group proposed for Kanata Centrum, Signature areas
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
Jessica Cunha
jessica.cunha@metroland.com
A group of business members are discussing the possibility of creating a business improvement area in the Kanata Centrum, Signature Centre and surrounding area. Tentatively calling it the Kanata Central BIA, Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she’s been in talks with 10 people from a mix of businesses in the area so far and the feedback seems to be positive. “I didn’t realize how interested people would be,” said Wilkinson, who is working to put together a steering committee that will lead the discussion moving forward. The group – which includes Jask Salon and Day Spa, the 3 Brewers, the Unrefined Olive, La Mode Fine Jewellers and Tag Along Toys, among others – has met three times since June to see if the interest is there. “We’re at the very early stages right now,” said Wilkinson. “We want to make sure people are prepared.” Jenna Sudds, executive director of the Kanata North BIA in the high tech business park, said she applauds the plan. “I think it’s a terrific idea,” she said. “I think a BIA in that area, one that could focus on that area, on marketing and promoting those businesses, would be worthwhile.” If area businesses vote to implement a BIA, the goal is to have the organization running by the New Year. “They think it’s really important to have it sooner than later,” said Wilkinson, adding the final decision will be up to the businesses that would be encompassed by a BIA. “We have to go through the process and the process has to be done right. If people don’t know what it is they’ll just say ‘no’ and that will destroy the ability to go ahead.” A public meeting is being planned for the fall and two months would be needed for voting. MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE
BIAs are formed by local businesses, property owners and employees within commercial districts to promote and improve the area where they work. A “small cost” based on a property’s total assessed value is added to property taxes to help fund the organization, said Wilkinson. A Kanata Central BIA could look at improving pedestrian paths to connect the shopping areas, beautifying through joint landscape efforts, and combined marketing plans. “As a large retail community they can work together to do things to beautify the area and improve

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Follow-up – Marijuana Dispensary on Iber Road Hello residents,
Jessica Cunha/Metroland
The creation of a Business Improvement Area is being proposed for the Kanata Centrum, Signature Centre and surrounding area. The retail area is starting to see some vacancies, said Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, and a BIA could help in promoting the area both to new businesses and patrons. it,” said the councillor. “It puts local control into doing things in that part of the community. You can relate better to people in your area.” There are 18 BIAs within the city, including one in the Kanata North Business Park. “What they have done is enable businesses to work together to improve their area and make it attractive for people to come and do business there, and in turn improve their results,” said Wilkinson. “It’s worked very well with other areas so I expect it will here too.” The retail area is starting to see some vacancies, she said, and a
BIA could help in promoting the area both to new businesses and patrons. “How can we strengthen the businesses there so they can succeed; that’s one of the reasons you have a BIA,” she said. Wilkinson said she and her staff will be starting to meet with businesses in the area to explain the process and answer questions people may have. For more information, contact Wilkinson’s office at 613-580-2474 or by email at marianne.wilkinson@ottawa.ca.
There is a good chance that you have already heard the news regarding an unlicensed medicinal marijuana dispensary slated to open on Iber Road in the near future. After visiting the dispensary’s open house, I would like to take a moment to discuss the topic once more. As Chair of the Board of Health, I feel it is important to state forthright that I am not opposed to the licensed operation and sale of marijuana for medical purposes. For some, marijuana is a controlled substance that they understand must not be abused; still, for others, this same level of comfort and understanding may not be shared. These are factors which must be taken into consideration in order for healthy business relationships to flourish. Of concerns I have heard, several residents have re-iterated my thoughts that the location is too close to schools, others feel wary that proper duty of care will not be administered to ensure safe practices of the drug. Beyond that, the issue remains that the establishment is unlicensed. It is not my goal to create an enemy of this establishment or those who stand behind it – I have listened and understand that there is a demand for a market of this nature; my only goal in this case is to support enforcement of the law and help patients who require the use of medical marijuana receive medicine that is safe, laboratory-tested, and federallyapproved and not simply that which is convenient. Drugs, particularly those with recreational aspects, should be handled by professional pharmacologists to ensure that they are monitored and prescribed accordingly for medicinal requirements. Presently, if you do require medicinal marijuana, a mail-order system is the current practice and will deliver medicine to you in the comfort of your home. While I am aware that the federal government is working to make the product legal for non-medicinal purposes, until the if/when of that scenario takes place and proper procedures and practices are implemented, the drug remains illegal. As your City Councillor, it is my role to represent the community to ensure that everyone feels safe living here in Stittsville. In this case, that means standing on behalf of those individuals who would feel more comfortable with a local business that works together with the law instead of the unlicensed establishments that disregard it. As it stands from feedback I have received, the manner in which this establishment has introduced itself does not sit well with a majority of Stittsville residents and as such, I will continue to closely monitor the facility alongside Ottawa Police to ensure that the safety of all residents in our community remains the number one priority. I, of course, encourage residents to continue to contact me their thoughts on this matter and share their support/concerns. Together, as a community, I am hopeful we will come to a resolution to satisfy the needs of everyone. Until then, you can always contact me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.
August 20th Blackstone Park Community Breakfast Get your bikes and helmets out Stittsville! I’m delighted to say that on Saturday, August 20th, at Blackstone Park (located at 105 Tapadero Avenue) I will be hosting a community breakfast. The event will highlight bike safety and will also feature other fun activities for the whole family including a children’s play area. I want to thank Cardel and Mattamy for their support with this event. Coffee, tea, and juice will be served along with muffins and pastries while Stittsville residents are given the opportunity to learn the rules of the road when out on their bicycles. Especially for youth in the community who plan on biking to and from school in September, this is an event you won’t want to miss! Please bring along a non-perishable food item as a donation to the Stittsville Food Bank. I would like to thank all volunteers including Cardel and Mattamy Homes for their support with this event. Breakfast will be served at 8AM and should end around 10AM. I look forward to seeing all of you there... and don’t forget your bikes and helmets!
Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

A 16-year-old singer from Kanata Lakes is working with a Toronto record company after winning a Bluesfest competition last month. Emma Lamontagne surprised herself by taking top honours at the She’s the One competition for emerging female artists at RBC Bluesfest. “I was sitting backstage with really talented performers – I didn’t understand when my name was called out,” said the Grade 11 All Saints Catholic High School student. “The stage manager was laughing. She said she wished she had a camera to capture my expression.”

Lamontagne wowed the Bluesfest judges with a mixture of her vocal performance and stage presence. Technical difficulties with the piano caused her to improvise and talk with the audience until the problem was fixed. “I was talking about school – I had an essay due and the teacher wouldn’t give me an extension even though I was performing at Bluesfest,” she said. “I just kept talking and talking.” Lamontagne performed Sweater Weather, by the Neighbourhood, as one of her two covers. Describing her style as acoustic pop, she chose not to perform any of her original material because she thought it could be “risky” if the judges didn’t like it, she said. And it paid off. “They liked my voice and my personality,” she said. Lamontagne said she enjoys singing and performing as a way to connect with others. “It tends to make people happy and it makes me really happy,” she said. “There are some songs that just hit you – they affect you and you’re different after listening to it. That’s my goal, to affect people.” She plans to study music and songwriting, with a minor in psychology, once she finishes high school. “You can help a lot of people through music; the same with psychology,” she said. “I’m just attracted to helping people.” Check out Lamontagne’s YouTube channel “Emma Lamontagne” to follow her progress. Last year’s contest winner was Grace Lachance of Stittsville.

Missing pie becomes a real mystery for Mother
F
ather, sitting in his chair with the Ottawa Farm Journal folded on his lap, was eyeing the two berry pies Mother had made and where they were now sitting on the bake table at the back door. She was at the old pine kitchen table, and without taking her eyes off her diaries, she told Father his bedtime snack would not include a slice of the berry pies. “There’s a couple sticky buns in the cupboard you can have,” she said. It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes! Just before we all headed for bed, Mother covered the pies with two freshly washed and ironed flour-bag tea towels. The wonderful sweet

smell followed us upstairs. Well, what a commotion greeted us first thing in the morning! We could hear Mother yelling at the top of her lungs, ordering Everett to fetch Father from the barn at once! “He has taken a pie, and probably has eaten most of it by now, and will expect to have a full breakfast when he comes in.” She was sure hoppin’ mad. Well, Father came in and was as surprised as Mother, and swore up and
down he hadn’t laid eyes on the pie since going to bed. Mother pointed a finger at each of my three brothers, who all vowed they had never touched the berry pie. Father had the nerve to suggest maybe Mother had put it someplace, or maybe Earl, who sometimes walked in his sleep had taken it off the bake table. “Well, it’s gone, and I’ll find out who took it, and there’ll be hang to pay, I can tell you,” she said. The day passed and
there was still no sign of the pie, and the remaining pie had to be sliced in small wedges to go around that night for supper, and no one had yet owned up to taking the missing one, plate and all. Well, the next morning, was a repeat of the morning before. Mother was yelling at the top of her lungs to get Father from the barn at once! Then we saw what she was yelling about. There on the bake table was the empty pie plate, spotlessly clean, shining like a new nickel, with a note written on the back of a cigarette box thanking the lady of the house for the best pie he had ever eaten! Shivers ran up and down my back when we finally realized a tramp had jumped the freight train that passed through our
farm, climbed the West Hill, and came up to our house in the dead of night. Father said the smell
their life, and getting a meal or a snack wherever they could, kept them alive.
It always amazed me how Mother could see and know everything anyone was doing or thinking without benefit of raising her eyes!
of the berry pie was more than he could ignore, and he made off with it, pie plate and all. He had the good manners to wash the tin in the river, and return it to our kitchen, putting it exactly where he had found it the night before. Well, that had Mother ranting about unlocked doors! No one in Northcote locked their doors. Ours didn’t even have a key! For a couple of nights Mother propped a chair under the doorknob, but Father convinced her the tramps meant no harm. He said he knew they often slept in the barn. And they were hungry... always hungry. Riding the rails was
After that, Mother often left a paper bag of sandwiches on the back stoop in a pail with a lid on it. It didn’t take long for the tramps to know they could come over the West Hill, day or night, and there would always be something there to fill their aching stomachs. Like so much else in those lean Depression years, the tramps were simply a symbol of the times. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue
Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you know how to lay on the charm to get a job done, and you might need to work your magic this week. Some might scoff, but the end results will be positive. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, your work ethic is recognized by superiors this week. Accept this well-earned praise, but keep working hard to maintain your reputation. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, while you may have one foot on the ground, your head seems to be up in the clouds. Make an effort to regain your focus so you can finish the tasks at hand. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Problem-solving does not interest you this week, Cancer. You just want things spelled out to you in black and white. If things become too complicated, ask for clarification. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the pressure to make decisions is easing up, and you can finally relax and focus on entertaining things. Take some time to strengthen an important relationship as well. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, ideas in your head are developing so quickly that you can’t pin one down. Your creativity is a feather in your cap, so make an effort to sort out your ideas.
LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Decisions that seemed so easy to make just a few days ago now seem like uphill battles. Don’t sell yourself short, as you can handle the challenges ahead. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 You have an ability to attract power and love, Scorpio. Make the most of this power and try to help others as much as possible. You will be glad for having done so. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, recent contributions on the job are finally getting you some special attention. Your efforts paint you as a team player, and others are taking notice. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, a big decision has you mulling all of the potential outcomes. Take a few breaths and some extra time to reevaluate your priorities in the next few days. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, beauty is everywhere if you just look for it. Pay attention to the little details that can show you the potential of others. You may be surprised at what you find. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, you are much more comfortable when surrounded by a close network of friends. Organize a get-together with your social circle. 0811
