News - The annual Richmond Fair is a showcase of livestock, produce, arts and crafts as well as events such as a demolition derby, entertainment and a midway. This year the Richmond Fair will run at the Richmond fairgrounds from Thursday, Sept. 19 to Sunday, Sept. 22. Once again this year, there will be
an amateur youth talent contest at the Fair’s outdoor stage on Sunday, Sept. 22, with cash prizes awarded to the three top youth performers in a 12 and under category and also an age 13-21 age category. Entries for this competition must be received by Sunday, Aug. 25. The Richmond Agricultural Society, which organizes the Richmond Fair, can be contacted at 613-838-3420 or via email
at richmondfair@sympatico.ca . Entertainment at this year’s Fair will include fiddler Natalie MacMaster on the Thursday night, Alex Ryder and Kim Mitchell on the Friday night in the arena, the trio Blackwell and Chad Brownlee on the Saturday night in the arena, both of which are via paid admission, and Bandit and George Fox on Sunday afternoon in the arena, with free admission.
The Richmond Fair began in 1844 in Bells Corners and moved to Richmond in 1895, renting what was then “Goodwood Park,” the site of the present fairgrounds which the Agricultural Society purchased from owner Hugh Reilly in 1927. In 1962, the Agricultural Society purchased an additional 2.4 acres of property from Harold Brown, adding it to the original 17.4 acre site.

News - Last year the annual Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match was held at the Brophy farm near Richmond. This year the site moves eastward, with the plowing match happening at Edwards family farm at the corner of Frank Kenny Road and Wall Road at Navan. It will be taking place on Friday, Aug. 23 and Saturday, Aug. 24. Friday, Aug. 23 will see the VIP plowing at noon followed by practice time for competitors. There will also be an information session about tillage equipment organized by the Ottawa Carleton Soil and Crop Improvement Association. Saturday, Aug. 24 is the day when the plowing competition takes place, involving horse, antique tractor and conventional tractor classes. The plowing will take place from 10 a.m. through to 3 p.m. Plowing matches like this upcoming Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match have been a part of Ontario’s agricultural history for over a century. They give farmers an opportunity to display their plowing skills while also learning about the importance of soil conservation. At the Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match, plows used will vary from newer reversible plows to walking plows used with a team of horses. The Ottawa Carleton plowmen’s Association, host of the Ottawa Carleton Plowing
Match, is marking its 89th year this year. It all began back in 1919 when Melvin A. Powell, a Marlborough township farmer, encouraged the formation of the Marlborough and North Gower Plowmen’s Association. It even hosted an International Plowing Match in 1932 at the Central Experimental Farm in Ottawa. The plow is one of the oldest tillage tools known to man. By the time of the Romans, wooden plows that somewhat resemble modern plows were in use, being pulled by oxen. The plow is used to transform land into a productive seedbed. This is done by preparing a seedbed with a top layer of soil that can easily surrounded the newly planted seed and encourage germination; by helping to control weeds; by assisting in the degradation of mulch into organic matter; by increasing water retention; and by improving soil aeration. With today’s new plow designs and increased horsepower from tractors, plowing now plays a part in tillage, cropping, conservation and environmental practices including soil conservation through the control of water and wind erosion, improved secondary tillage, energy conservation through reduced tillage practices, chemical weed control and precision seed placement. City of Ottawa West Carleton-March councillor Eli El Chantiry won the VIP plowing match at last year’s Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green to play at Village Square Park john.curry@metroland.com
News - It’s title includes the word “odd” but there is nothing odd about the film’s story and how a magical boy helps others. It’s just a sensitive, heartwarming story but then, what else would you expect from Walt Disney Animation Studios, creator of this 2012 computer-animated family comedy film. This film, “The Odd Life of Timothy Green,” will be shown free on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 8:30 p.m. at Village Square Park in Stittsville. This is part of the summer-long free showing of movies on Tuesday evenings at this park. “The Odd Life of Timothy Green” is a movie about a magical pre-adolescent boy whose personality and naivete have profound effects on the people in a North Caro-
lina town. He magically arrives at a home in the town as the culmination of all the wishes of what Cindy and Jim Green would want their child to be like. The boy, named Timothy, has one startling feature: he has leaves growing on his legs. But this does not prevent him in any way from making school friends, helping save the town’s pencil factory and simply being a child who has all of the qualities which Cindy and Jim Green listed for their ideal child. The 105 minute long movie all ends up happily, even though Timothy has only a short life span. Admission is free to watch this movie starting at 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stitts-
ville but those attending are reminded to take along a lawn chair or blanket for seating. Snacks and drinks will be available for a small cost with all proceeds going to support the Youth Connexion program in Stittsville. And if you want to arrive a little early for the movie, you will be able to participate in “Get Active in the Park,” which involves some directed-fun activities for families to do prior to the start of the movie. This movie “The Odd Life of Timothy
Green” is the second last of this summerlong series of free movies being shown on Tuesday evenings at Village Square Park in Stittsville. The final movie in this series of free movies will be “Mary Poppins,” a 1964 musical film starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke that won numerous Academy Awards. This movie “Mary Poppins” will be shown on Tuesday, Aug. 27 at 8:30 p.m. at Village Square Park in Stittsville.

Golf tourney held in memory of woman who died in 2005 Special to the News
Sports - The seventh annual Sarah McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament took place at Manderley on the Green golf course near North Gower last Saturday, Aug. 10, starting at 10:30 a.m. Besides the golf, there was an all-you-can-eat buffet dinner. All of the funds raised by this tournament are donated to charities and to fund bursaries which are awarded at the schools which Sarah attended during her life. Organizations helped by this tournament have included Friends of Hospice Ottawa, the Military Families Resource Centre, the Richmond Legion, Main Street Community Services, the Afghani-
stan Repatriation Memorial in Trenton, the Veterans Memory Project, the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School and bursary awards at South Carleton High School, Goulbourn Middle School and Richmond Public School. INQUEST
It was on Nov. 27, 2005 that Sarah McCarthy died horribly after being hit and dragged over 1.5 kilometers by a taxi. Her gruesome death and subsequent police investigation and eventual inquest brought much attention to the tragedy. Sarah’s family and friends suffered much grief and are still fighting for justice for Sarah who was 25 at the time of her death. Born on March 7, 1980,
Sarah McCarthy lived for her early years with her family in Munster. The family moved to Richmond in 1986 where she attended Richmond Public School and then Goulbourn Middle School before graduating from South Carleton High School. After graduation, she worked at several places and then attended Algonquin College but really found her calling while working at the LCBO in Richmond where her friendliness and way with people shone. But then the tragedy on Nov. 27, 2005 happened and her life was ended before she was able to realize her dreams. But this annual golf tournament carries on her spirit and her memory.
Museum holds scavenger hunt Special to the News
News - Scavenger hunts have come to the Goulbourn Museum. Thanks to the efforts of Sarah Norton, a summer student working at the Museum this year, a scavenger hunt has been developed which youngsters visiting the Museum can enjoy whenever the Museum is open which is from Wednesday through Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Museum’s scavenger hunt takes youngsters to locations both inside and outside the Museum to answer trivia questions for “shillings.” Those who answer all of the questions correctly and collect all of the shillings win a prize. It is meant to be a fun, free and kid friendly activity that will be happening for the rest of the summer. A scavenger hunt is a game in which participants seek to gather information or items on a list. The goal is to complete
the list. Scavenger hunts are believed to have evolved from ancient folk games. They became popular in the United States in the early 1930’s thanks to exclusive hunts at New York-based parties.
There are notable scavenger hunts such as the annual Tricadecathlonomania which is a 24-hour worldwide event. There are now also internet scavenger hunts which invite participants to visit different websites to find clues and solve puzzles.

News - The site is right in the shadow of Canadian Tire Centre (formerly Scotiabank Place), the home of the Ottawa Senators. And the plans for this site at the northwest corner of Huntmar Drive and Palladium Drive include a pair of hotels, two or perhaps one large restaurant and, more long term, a couple of condominium apartment buildings. But, first things first and what is needed to begin with is a rezoning of the site to allow a hotel use and to lift the height limit from 12 metres (three storeys) to 24 metres (seven storeys). Not that the two hotels proposed for the site are going to be seven storeys high but this height would cover the two future condominium structures. The proposed hotels are to be four storeys in height with roughly 100 rooms each. Planning consultant Bill Holzman told those at a public meeting about the proposed rezoning at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Tuesday, Aug. 6 that he is working on the proposal on behalf of Superior Lodging Corporation, a firm which he says has built hotel structures across Canada and the United States, dealing with a number of hotel brands such as Marriott and Holiday Inn. Indeed, the Superior Lodging Corporation website says that since the privately held hotel development and investment company was formed in 1993, it has completed over 140 hotel investments at a total cost of about $750 million. Mr. Holzman said that his client has done due diligence on the proposal for the site which is across Huntmar Drive from Canadian Tire Centre and will be just across highway 417 from the new Tanger outlet mall. He said that his client has determined what while there is no market in this location right now for a five star hotel such as the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata, the proposed hotels would include one medium to high range hotel and one low to medium range hotel. He said that these hotels would cater to business travelers, concert goers, hockey fans, tournament participants and families. Both hotels would be in the four storey range with 90 to 95 rooms or so. The preliminary site plan shows the two hotels right at the northwest corner of Huntmar Drive and Palladium Drive but the location could change in the final site plan. The proposal also includes a large stand-alone
restaurant or two such restaurants on the site. These would be one storey but with high ceilings, with a total of 10,000 or so square feet of space. In addition, one version of the preliminary proposal indicates two condominium apartment buildings on the west side of the property, adjacent to the Palladium Auto Park. These would be seven storey buildings, one with 80 units and the other with 120 units. But as Mr. Holzman said at the meeting, these two proposed condominium buildings are not in the immediate five to ten year plans of his client with no market existing for them at the present but he said that the rezoning for buildings of such height is being sought so that such buildings could be constructed on the site in the future when a transit station exists there and the economics of the situation would make underground parking feasible. This site is identified in the city’s planning documents as a mixed use centre, one of only 11 such sites in the city. All are around existing or future transit stations and are mean for higher density land uses, generating traffic for the future transit infrastructure. As such, this is, to use Mr. Holzman’s words at the meeting, a “unique piece of property.” The zoning is currently the same as that of the adjacent Palladium Auto Park which Mr. Holzman said is not appropriate for such a high profile site. He said that the proposed rezoning would bring the site more in keeping with what is envisioned for it in the city’s Official Plan. While the city’s planning documents speak of 10 to 15 storey buildings at this site, Mr. Holzman made it clear that at present his client is not interested in such a height but rather in the 24 metre (seven storey) height that is being requested. He said that if the rezoning is approved by the city, then a site plan with finalized details will then be forthcoming. The proposal has been delayed somewhat because of the insistence by city planner that the capacity of the sanitary sewer system in the area to handle the development be confirmed. That is why flow monitors have now been installed in downstream sewers to determine just exactly what the existing flows are. There are also plans for increased sewage pumping capacity in the area which should be realized in a couple of years at the most. Mr. Holzman said that his client had hoped to move the process along quicker but noted that the city wanted monitoring of the sewer system done. He said that he is hopeful that the monitoring will be wrapped up in the next couple of weeks. With regard to traffic generated by the proposed development, it was pointed out that most traffic from this hotel/restaurant development will be focused on highway 417 and as a result there should not be much cut-through traffic along Huntmar Drive and the nearby Fairwinds residential community.

Mick Armitage Band in Stittsville on Aug. 22 Special to the News
News - The sounds of the Mick Armitage Band will be heard at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Aug. 22. The Mick Armitage Band will be performing at the fourth and final August Thursday evening free concert being sponsored by Waste Management in partnership with the city of Ottawa. The first two of these concerts were in Richmond while the final two, including this one featuring the Mick Armitage Band, were scheduled for Village Square Park in Stittsville. The Mick Armitage Band was launched in 1997, although Mick Armitage’s band days date back to 1983 when he helped form the Arnpriorbased group “Racoons on Ice.” This group played together for 14 years, performing across Eastern Ontario and West Quebec. It is, though, with the group that bears his name that Armitage has found his greatest success. The Mick Armitage Band has performed nationally and internationally. “We’ve played on both coasts, we’ve performed in Mexico six times and in 2006 we did a tour of Ireland,” he says. The band has been off the bar and night club circuit for years as it books mainly with private clients and organizations, playing at fundraisers and at shows of virtually every kind including fairs, festivals and private parties. “Our business is almost all referrals – word of mouth,” Armitage says. “I’ve definitely been around a long time,” he says. “I know that because I am now playing at the weddings of the kids of the same people I played for (wedding parties) over 20 years ago.” But he says that the band does not do many shows in the winter. “Right now we are doing about 25 shows in nine months,” he says about the band’s warm weather preference. He himself loves spending his nights and weekends playing music and entertaining people. With more than 1,000 shows already under his

We know over 500 songs, 90 percent of which is classic
rock. We’re a “boomers” band now.” Besides Armitage on drums and vocals, other members of the band are vocalist/guitarist Al Tambay, vocalist/bass player Grant Tomkinson, saxophonist/singer Bruce Baker and keyboard player/singer Al “The Reverend” Bragg, a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame. They have all been together for more than 10 years. The band has a two-member “road

crew” which handles all of its equipment and setups, made up of twin brothers Eric and Jensen Semph who are 22 years old. “We’re all old guys now,” Armitage says about the band, noting that they are all over 50 years old. “We leave it to the young lads to lug the gear around,” he adds. Armitage, a native of Shawville, Quebec, started playing music in his youth with drums soon becoming his focus.
“I grew up during the rock ‘n roll era in the 1960s,” he says. “That was my influence.” His late mother Mary (Spearman) was a native of Stittsville while his father is Dr. Roly Armitage, a well know veterinarian and horse breeder known across Eastern Ontario. Dr. Armitage, who is now 88 years old, lives in West Carleton and is a former mayor of West Carleton township. Mick Armitage, who lives in Ottawa, is a full-time civilian employee of the Department of National Defence outside of his band activities. Armitage is looking forward to more years of musical success. “We already have four shows booked for 2014,” he says. The free concert featuring the Mick Armitage Band on Thursday, Aug. 22 at Village Square Park in Stittsville will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Although there is no charge, donations for CHEO will be gladly accepted. The concert will be preceded by a BBQ starting at 6 p.m., with all of the proceeds going to youth activities in Stittsville. Those planning to attending this concert at Village Square Park on Thursday, Aug. 22 are reminded to take along a lawn chair or blanked for seating.

Be loud, be proud Ottawa
C
apital Pride returns to Ottawa starting this weekend. The theme for this year’s festival is Be Loud, Be Proud. This is a message that all Canadians can take to heart, to celebrate our nation’s acceptance of all citizens regardless of their race, language, religion or sexual identity. These are basic human rights entrenched in Canada’s Charter, despite lingering opposition from fringe groups. Canada’s good example is even more noticeable when compared with our international counterparts. Russia, for instance, has drawn criticism from across the globe for a law that bans gay pride rallies and forbids even discussing homosexuality with youth. The Russian sport minister pledged to hold athletes attending the 2014 Sochi Olympics accountable if they went out on the streets and attempted to “propagandize.� The move was criticized by John Baird, Canada’s foreign affairs minister, who said the Russian minister’s statements were “an incitement to intolerance which breeds hate.� But Baird’s comments immediately drew fire
from Real Women of Canada. The conservative women’s group said Baird’s comments stepped on the toes of another country’s sovereignty, family and religious values. Defending a country’s action based on its cultural/socio-religious identity is a tired argument that too often has been trotted out for public display in the aftermath of human rights abuses. The rights and freedoms of the individual are a basic human law that predates and supersedes the sovereignty and constitutions of nations. Real Women’s comments were immediately slammed by Canadians across the country, highlighting the cultural shift from intolerance to acceptance that has taken place over recent decades. This national movement toward tolerance is by no means strictly a Canadian phenomenon. Recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered rights are gaining acceptance across North America and Europe, albeit at different rates and to different degrees. In the United States, even the Grand Old Party has grudgingly accepted the inevitability of gay marriage. As Sam Cooke once so eloquently wrote, change is gonna come.

Quebec offers unique European experience for visitors
W
e recently ventured to the Eastern Townships of Quebec to visit my husband’s family. Our weekend trip cemented two ideas in my mind: It’s really frightening using the province’s infrastructure; but maybe the money spent on cultural protectionism over the past five decades has been worthwhile. I mean, there’s just something about Quebec, isn’t there? You really do feel like you’re in another country. It’s not just the sinkholes and crumbling bridges. There is a provincial warmth melded with a European class among the people there that I’ve yet to find in other places in Canada. It’s politically incorrect to say this in some circles, but there is truly a distinct culture in Quebec. The Quebecois don’t just talk differently from the rest of Canada; they also eat differently, greet differently and share their opinions in a unique way. And much of it comes down to the preservation of the family meal. It’s the way they linger over the preparation of food that stands out in my mind. It’s the way wine is central to the occasion.

Unlike the rest of us who are stocking up at the LCBO before a long weekend, most Quebec families I know keep a box of wine in the fridge for informal occasions. But when there is a more formal gathering, one can count on the celebratory pop of the cork of a slightly upscale vintage. Everyone partakes, and even some of the older kids get to have a sip or a small glass. And people are very relaxed about drinking, generally. The wine is as important to them as the food. It isn’t guzzled, but drunk slowly between small bites. I realize I’m romanticizing a bit here, but there is, in fact, some hard evidence to back what I’m saying. Believe it or not, the Quebecois actually shop for food differently from the rest of us.

Believe it or not, the Quebecois actually shop for food differently from the rest of us. This appreciation of food is benefiting their waistlines. Because although – according to a Nielsen survey conducted last year – the Quebecois have a sweeter tooth than the rest of us, they also have some of the lowest rates of obesity. Finally, a study published by the Vanier Institute for the Family a few years ago found that people in Quebec are more likely to sit down multiple times per week for a family dinner than

According to a study commissioned by a national grocers association last year, the Quebecois are much more likely to visit the store daily to purchase precisely what they need to cook a particular meal, for example. They also demand a much broader selection of meat – not just striploin steaks and boneless chicken breast, but also bison, various cuts of lamb and venison. And they buy smaller portions. Not just of meat, but of other things too.
those living elsewhere in Canada. It’s around the table, noted the authors, that parents are best able to connect with children, and that people can debate issues of the day or share their ideas and emotions. From food to thought, there is a true richness in Quebec I haven’t experienced since I lived in Europe for a few years. If that weren’t enough to make me want to spend more time over the border in La Belle Province, the fact that I can purchase wine and beer at the camp store in their provincial park clinches the notion that I should “travel abroad� more often.

TransCanada plans oil pipeline John Carter john.carter@metroland.com

News - A million barrels a day of crude oil could soon be travelling by pipeline through south Ottawa and the upper Ottawa Valley. TransCanada Corporation announced Aug. 1 that it is proceeding with the proposed Energy East Pipeline. Part of that project features the conversion of one of two natural gas pipelines through the Ottawa and the Valley from a gas to an oil pipeline. TransCanada representatives met with municipal officials in June to give them a heads-up on the proposed transformation that will take about four years to complete. They noted that converting the existing pipeline would be much less disruptive than building a new one. They’ve indicated there will be public information meetings on the plan this fall, likely in October, well before any work is done. The gas pipeline in question runs down the Ottawa Valley from Pembroke through the Pakenham area and then into south Ottawa near Richmond area and then to Iroquois. In its news release, TransCanada announced it is moving forward with the 1.1-million-barrel-per-day Energy East Pipeline project based on receiving binding, long-term contracts from producers and refiners. The company says the contracts for about 900,000 barrels a day of oil confirmed strong market support for a pipeline that will, if all regulatory approvals are granted, transport crude oil from Western Canada to eastern Canadian refineries and export terminals. “We are very pleased with the outcome of the open season for the Energy
East Pipeline held earlier this year and are excited to move forward with a major project that will bring many benefits across Canada,� said TransCanada CEO Russ Girling. HISTORIC
“This is an historic opportunity to connect the oil resources of Western Canada to the consumers of eastern Canada, creating jobs, tax revenue and energy security for all Canadians for decades to come.� TransCanada representatives told local municipal councils that the pipeline will give eastern Canadians a stable and reliable supply of crude oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan and cut down this area’s dependence on imported crude oil. Eastern Canada currently imports about 700,000 barrels of oil a day. The project involves converting about 3,000 kilometres of natural gas pipeline to crude oil service and constructing about 1,400 kilometres of new pipeline. The pipeline will terminate in Saint John, N.B., where TransCanada and Irving Oil have formed a joint venture to build, own and operate a new deep water marine terminal that will send the oil to overseas markets. The pipeline is expected to cost about $12 billion and be in service by late 2017 for deliveries in Quebec and 2018 for deliveries to New Brunswick. The company is promising to “engage in open and meaningful discussions with aboriginal communities and key stakeholder groups� along the pipeline route.

Medals could be part of exhibit in 2014 Continued from page 1
because next year we’ll be commemorating 100 years since the First World War started,” said Kathryn Jamieson, curator manager of Goulbourn Museum. “We do not have an acquisition budget,” she said. “The only way we’d be able to bring it back to the museum is we get donations for it.” The exhibition marking a century since the start of the First World War will launch in June 2014. “This collection could be incorporated into the exhibit if we can rally enough support and raise money to secure the winning bid,” she said. The Rielly collection, which is listed as in good condition, includes: • First World War Medal • First World War Victory Medal • Second World War Canadian Volunteer Service Medal • Second World War Medal • Second World War Royal Air Force Long Service and Good Conduct Medal • Royal Canadian Air Force Reserve pin • Second World War service pin • Two original photos of Rielly in his RAF uniform Clarence Rielly, who was born in Richmond, enlisted in the Canadian Engineers, part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, in 1917. Rielly served as a telegraph officer during the First World War and later joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. The auction of Rielly’s war medals, pins and photographs will close on Aug. 15 at 2:56 p.m. The value of this collection for the museum comes from the collection as a whole, preserving the story of a war hero from Goulbourn Township, said Jamieson. The rarest medal in this collection is the RCAF Long Service and Good Conduct Medal, which Rielly earned after serving for 18 years with air force. What makes these medals so special, according to Jamieson, is that
only 487 of them had been awarded to Canadians. Jamieson asked for all support to go through the museum rather than bidding individually, which would drive the price of the acquisition up. Cash or cheque donations and pledges can be made to the Goulbourn Museum, which is a registered charity. The museum will offer tax receipts for all donations more than $10. The museum is open Wednesday to Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. and is located at 2064 Huntley Rd., south of Stittsville. MEDAL HUNTER
The museum was notified about the sale by Dave Thomson, a 54-year-old auto parts dealer in St. George, Ont. Locating war medals for sale on eBay started out as a hobby for Thomson in 2006, when he discovered a First World War medal of Henry Hough, a soldier from Princeton, Ont., a nearby town. Thomson purchased the medal and donated it to the local museum. “I thought that was cool and I did it again,” said Thomson. “I was having fun doing this.” Within a year, Thomson had spent $4,000 on medal purchases and realized he couldn’t continue on his own anymore. “I had to change my operations,” said Thomson. “I couldn’t afford to do this.” Since then, he has spent much of his spare time surfing the Internet searching for other Canadian war medals for sale, notifying local museums, the media and family members in towns across Ontario. In 2009, Thomson was awarded a Ministry of Veteran Affairs Commendation for helping to preserve veterans’ history and the following year he was placed in eBay’s hall of fame for preserving Canadian history. Thomson estimates he has helped purchase more than $250,000 worth
EBAY
The Goulbourn Museum is hoping to raise enough money to purchase a set of medals earned by a Richmond man during the First and Second World Wars. of war medals on eBay, including more than 200 Memorial Crosses, half a dozen medals awarded posthumously to soldiers killed at Vimy Ridge, a Distinguished Flying Cross awarded to William Otway Bodger, a First World War flying ace, and med-
als from the Boer War, Korean War and Vietnam conflict. “It doesn’t take long to add up,” he said. Thomson said he started his hobby because he likes helping people. “We all find our own way to say
thank you to the veterans,” he said. The Goulbourn museum has an opportunity to return Rielly’s medals to his hometown, said Thomson. “If we raise enough funds and buy these then they belong to the people of Richmond.”

Harry’s actually birthday was last Friday, Aug. 9. Kungfu Bistro, site of the birthday party, is a favourite of Harry and his wife Monique Archambault who recently celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary. They like Kungfu Bistro because of its fantastic food and its friendly, cordial and engaging owners, Margarita and Tony Chen. Indeed, they actually walked into the restaurant for the first time just as Margarita was hanging out her “Now Open For Business” sign for the first time when opening. Harry, Monique and their friends are now frequent customers there. Born in Germany in 1928, Harry arrived in Canada in 1954 and like many new immigrants, worked in agriculture, first in the beet fields and then for one year with a farmer. He then worked at install-

Harry has a son, Victor, who is chief financial officer at Ingram Micro Canada in Toronto. Victor and his wife Norma have two sons, Ryan and Michael, grandsons for
“scratching games” such as Crossword and Bingo which he calls his “pastime.” Harry and Monique have quite a large lot with flower containers, trees, bushes and a pond. Gardening is their hobby during the summer months. Harry exercises on his Nautilus machine but he is soon to go into the hospital for a third operation on a knee replacement. This should happen in early September. One story that involves Harry is how he risked his life and that of his family when he was responsible for rescuing a British soldier from the Soviet controlled zone in Germany. The soldier had been arrested by the Russians and imprisoned for over four years. The escape included a dangerous journey across the Soviet Zone with forged papers which Harry had been provided for the British soldier who happened to be engaged to be married to Harry’s sister. That’s one reason why Harry came to Canada. He probably would have been imprisoned back in Germany for this act of bravery had he remained there.

Harry. He is extremely proud of his son and his accomplishments. Harry has a sweet tooth, especially for dark chocolate. Another of his favourites is Bonne Maman Cherry Jam which is not available in Ottawa. Friends from Montreal and Toronto usually bring some along when they visit with Harry and Monique. Harry and Monique, who have lived in Stittsville for 13 years, used to spend their winters in Florida but no longer. Harry is famous for telling tales and stories about his life in wartime Germany and about when he first came to Canada, as well as about his work with Pepsi Cola and Perrier. In his storytelling, he often says “…to make a long story short…” but that is not usually the case as the story usually goes on and on. He gets teased a lot about using that “to make a long story short” phrase. He has a great sense of humour, is very sociable and loves to entertain. He also loves gardening, history books and action television shows and movies, along with comedies. He also likes

14 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, August 15, 2013
News – There’s a garage sale and BBQ happening in Stittsville this coming Saturday, Aug. 17 that you should drop into if at all possible. That’s because by supporting this garage sale/BBQ, you can help out Stittsville’s Community Bible Church and the church’s ongoing involvement helping a community in Kenya. Also, you might just pick up a great deal or two on items purchased at the event. The church is holding this garage sale and BBQ this Saturday, Aug. 17 to raise funds for a trip that a team from the church is making to Kenya in October. It will all happen from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine, at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. At this fundraising garage sale and BBQ, there will be an array of items for sale including household items, household décor, children’s toys, children’s clothing, adult and maternity clothing, sports equipment, electronics, books, CDs, DVDs and more. It will be heaven for any garage sale aficionado, just someone who likes good buys or someone who likes to support a good cause. In addition, there will be coffee and baked goods available for the early crowd while the BBQ will begin at 10 a.m. A team from the Community Bible Church was going to travel to Kenya next spring to help with the work that needs to be done there but the trip was moved up to this coming October because of the urgency of some of the work to be done. This has put even more importance on this upcoming fundraising garage sale and BBQ because the time for fundraising for the team’s trip has been reduced. There are other fundraising initiatives being planned such as BBQs at local grocery stores and a special event in September. The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has been partnering with the village of Seje in Kenya since April 2011. The objective of the partnership has been to establish sustainable solutions in agriculture, clean water and education in the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. In addition, villagers as a rule do not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in
the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. Through various fundraisers and support from sponsors, the Community Bible Church in Stittsville has partnered with the community of Seje on several projects already. A school for orphans has been started. Initially supporting two classes, namely junior and senior kindergarten, the school provides quality education, food and health services for orphans. A water system that draws water from a nearby river was built. The system filters and chlorinates the water and then pumps it up a hill into a storage container. The system is solar powered and has distribution lines to sites such as the school. The Seje community volunteered its time to dig over two kilometers of trenches through dry, rocky ground to install the water system. Ten dilapidated huts have been rebuilt. They are the homes of those who are sick or elderly and could not do it themselves. A community centre that serves multiple purposes such as meetings and events is being built. This community centre will also be used as a temporary school facility. The Community Bible Church/ Seje partnership has also provided funding to support emergency health needs. The primary objective of the Community Bible Church/Seje partnership going forward is to build upon what has been done and work towards establishing community sustainability. Projects planned include adding another grade for the school, doubling the capacity of the water system, teaching farming techniques specific to the regional conditions and acquiring four acres of farmland that will be owned and operated by the community, with the agricultural produce primarily used to support the school. There is a need for more sponsors for children in order to add the additional class planned. Anyone interested in helping out in any way should contact Ron Killeen at ron.killeen@ sympatico,ca or Pastor Steve Stewart at steve.stewart@cbcstittsville.com More information can be found on the Community Bible Church’s website at www.cbcstittsville.com/home/ sejeproject

Wildlife construction protocol coming Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
News - An old regional policy, advising builders on how to protect wildlife while constructing new buildings, is set to be updated at the beginning of the year. One of the last holdovers from amalgamation, the wildlife construction protocol isn’t in use because it doesn’t meet current regulations, including provincial policies. The protocol will be updated at the beginning of 2014 as one of the first tasks resulting from the city’s new wildlife strategy, which council adopted in July. The old regional protocol outlines when contact with wildlife could be anticipated and advises on appropriate measures to prevent harm to animals and their habitats during construction. Getting a jump on that work was a priority for two city councillors who told their colleagues during the July 17 council meeting that residents have been calling their offices bemoaning the lack of discussion about wildlife in urban areas. Capital Coun. David Chernushenko said the downtown wards may have even more wildlife issues per capita than the city’s rural areas. “We may have fewer coyotes, deer and moose in capital ward … Because it’s squirrels, skunks, raccoons and others, it doesn’t mean it’s not wildlife,” Chernushenko said.
Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said she has also been receiving calls from residents asking for another public meeting to discuss wildlife in the urban area. Lee Ann Snedden, the city’s manager of policy development and urban design, said a meeting to be held about the construction protocol in the new year will be a chance to do just that. Implementing the recently adopted wildlife strategy will focus on education and prevention of human-animal conflicts, Snedden said. Those approaches will be tailored to both rural and urban areas. The strategy reads: “Many conflicts result from carelessness or lack of knowledge of private citizens and public officials regarding the needs and behaviours of wildlife, especially urban wildlife. Property owners may inadvertently create the conditions that attract wildlife and put them at risk.” “I believe this strategy will address issues in all those areas,” Snedden said. Previously, rural councillors have raised the issue of urbanites who move to a rural area could find themselves in conflict with wildlife if they aren’t aware of how to deal with FILE animals. An old regional policy, advising builders on how to protect wildlife while constructing “The biggest issue is (that) we have peo- new buildings, is set to be updated at the beginning of the year. ple from the urban area moving into the rural area,” said West Carleton-March Coun. Eli El- city council consider hiring a new staffer: with a timeline for when the department will a wildlife officer. Snedden agreed that staff request to add that salary to the city’s budChantiry.

Golf classic raises $60,000 for cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
News - The mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Charity Golf Classic raised $60,000 for recently rebranded Youth Ottawa, according to estimates by Youth Ottawa executive director Lynne Denis. Youth Ottawa, formerly known as Child and Youth Friendly Ottawa, is a local nonprofit organization that aims to help youngsters drive change in the capital. Denis said the total wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t official yet, but was pleased with the turnout at the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest fundraiser. Adam Moscoe, chair of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of directors, said 26 foursomes turned out for the event, at $900 per team. Mayor Jim Watson said the crowd was a little smaller than the record breaking-crowd that hit the Barrhaven green last year.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it gives people more room to play and everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s having fun,â&#x20AC;? he said. Denis said the funds go to support programs like the Spirit of the Capital Youth Awards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which acknowledges the work of young people in the community. It also helps to support the For Youth, By Youth News outlet and Youth Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participation in a Youth summit action plan in partnership with the city. The young people involved in the programs are provided with mentorship, skills training and adult support. Moscoe said the golf classic was a great way to showcase the new branding of Youth Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot on the go and all of it has the input of youth,â&#x20AC;? Denis said.â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the future of our community, so they should help in shaping it.â&#x20AC;?

Watershed protection group enlists monitoring help steph.willems@metroland.com
News - Two-thirds of the Ottawa River’s watershed lies within the province of Quebec, which until recently has posed a problem for the river’s sworn protector. The Ottawa Riverkeeper’s mandate is to monitor the health of the watershed and advocate for both its use and protection. This summer, the group has gained a number of allies from the Quebec side of the river who share the same sentiments and goals.
Earlier this summer, the Ottawa Riverkeeper was approached by members of La Fondation de Gaspé Beaubien - a family-based foundation devoted to entrepreneurial philanthropy – in the hopes of forming a partnership. On July 12, the foundation committed $490,000 to the River Mission, a partnership between the Riverkeeper and Blue Legacy, a youth water quality monitoring project. The money also pays for a three-year term for a Quebec director of operations for the Riverkeeper and their part-
ners. “We’re incredibly lucky they chose us,” said Riverkeeper director of communications Alex Black. “Expanding our reach into Quebec has always been on our agenda, but we weren’t able to work effectively in Quebec… There are different laws in Quebec and the City of Gatineau - you have to understand not just the language, but also the legal structure and politics. But, two-thirds of the watershed is located in Quebec, and you cannot protect the watershed effectively if

you’re not there.” The group has also received a grant from the City of Gatineau to explore the city’s sewage overflow problem. In July, the Riverkeeper gained a new group of volunteer riverwatchers in the form of Les Amis du Ruisseau de la Brasserie (Friends of Brewery Creek). Brewery Creek is an arm of the Ottawa River that encircles the island (and former city) of Hull, Quebec, and has a long history of industrial and cultural use. The first European residents of the National Capital Region settled on the shores of the Ottawa River near Brewery Creek, in a village known as Wrightsville. True to its name, breweries formed along the shores of the creek, drawing water from its shallow depths. Later, a water filtration plant was built near its western reach. However, industrialization, sewer runoff and neglect took a toll, which continues to this day. The Friends of Brewery Creek approached the Riverkeeper to help them in their clean-up and advocacy work. On a weekend in mid-July, the Friends joined members of the Riverkeeper (and specialized biologists) in cataloguing the biodiversity of the creek in a study they dubbed the ‘Bioblitz’. “We were surprised by what we found,” said Black. “There was a lots (of life) in there.” Riverwatch program coordinator Meaghan Murphy said the perception many had formed about the creek was quickly shattered. “When you walk down to the creek and see old tires and garbage along it…you get the perception that it’s a lost cause and there must not be much left to save,” said Murphy. “We were surprised by the amount of fish (in the creek), even right by a combined sewer overflow outlet.

Money raised through the many events organized by the Riverkeeper go partly towards the purchase of water testing kits for the volunteers, and more are always needed as the number of volunteers grows. The kits test for pollution like phosphates from farm runoff, which can lead to oxygen-destroying algae blooms. The hope is that the Riverkeeper will soon be able to
post an interactive water quality map using the results of volunteer testing. A meeting to be held in the early fall in Gatineau will release the findings of the water testing and solicit for ideas on what the group and its partners should do next. Certainly, it’s been a busy but productive year for the Riverkeeper, with new allies spanning two provinces and a growing awareness of their initiatives. “It’s been brutal, but in a good way,” said Black. “There’s a lot happening.”

Legion teams up with military Meet a guide dog at open house families for Aug. 25 barbecue Everyone encouraged to meet new members of the community Special to the News
News - Sunday, Aug. 25 is going to be a time of fun, food and fellowship in Stittsville. That’s because the Stittsville Legion, in partnership with the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region (MFRC-NCR), is holding a community BBQ at the Stittsville Legion, running from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. For youngsters, there is going to be a medieval bouncy castle and slide set up for lots of fun. Organizers have confirmed that the ladder truck from Ottawa Fire Services Station 81 in Stittsville will be at the event, something which is always an attraction for youngsters. As for food, if the weather is good, you can expect to see the Legion parking lot filled not with vehicles as might be expected but with food vendors. The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro is going to be present, with Bistro staff on hand to cook their burgers, just like you would get at the Bistro itself. There will be other outlets set up for such food attractions as hot dogs and bratwurst. And it looks like a two-star general and other
senior military officers will be the ones dispensing this food. Yes, sir! CTV Ottawa legend Max Keeping will be the guest of honour at the event while City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is also to be there, as well as city councillors Shad Qadri of Stittsville ward and Eli El-Chantiry of the West Carleton-March ward. Members from all of the Legion branches in the west Ottawa area are being invited to attend. But don’t worry – there’s going to be lots of parking. Obviously not in the Legion parking lot because this is going to be filled with food and fun attractions but around the Legion – next door at Johnson (Bradley’s) Insurance and at Frederick Banting Alternate Program (former Stittsville Public School), across the street at the Stittsville Child Care lot and on the south side of the Legion in the Dharma Developments project. The key is that everyone from the community is welcome and indeed encouraged to attend, not only to enjoy themselves but also to welcome the military families, many new to the area, who are expected to attend. Indeed, that is what this is all about, namely developing a partnership between the Stittsville Legion and the MFRC-NCR so that military families new to the area will have a local spot where they can find out about their new community and city. The MFRC-NCR itself is
located at Uplands, so it is not close for military families in the west Ottawa area. By establishing partnerships with local Legion branches, it is hoped to provide the resources that these new military families in the area require by having them access them from a local location rather than having to travel to Uplands. This community BBQ will also see half of its proceeds go to the Stittsville Legion Building Fund as the 83 year old building is in need of some renovations and upgrades. The Legion Hall is the home of the Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion but it is also a facility that is made available for free to many community groups. As such, it plays a major role in the community. The Stittsville Legion and the MFRC-NCR have worked together earlier this year. In combination with the Stittsville Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Spouses group, a ladies’ night was held at the Stittsville Legion Hall where cards were made, where laughter prevailed, where dessert trays donated by Bistro 54 Restaurant were gobbled up and where a piece of jewellery was donated to all active duty members, female veterans, military wives, teenage daughters and war brides. The evening also featured the donation of $2,500 from the Stittsville Legion to the MFRC-NRC to help with future events involving the CAF families in the West Ottawa area including Stittsville.

I wanted to begin this week by thanking Waste Management and our City of Ottawa Parks and Recreation department on the success of the inaugural Concert in the Park series in Richmond. For years, these concerts have taken place in West Carleton and Stittsville and I was very happy to work with Councillor Eli ElChantiry, Wayne French from Waste Management and Gaetan Morin from the City of Ottawa to bring these concerts to Richmond. For a first time showing, we had some great crowds and the weather even cooperated. Proceeds from the canteen went toward our local Youth Connexion and 4H Club. Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the bands and I look forward to having more concerts next summer. Update on the Designation of Mineral Aggregate Resources The City of Ottawa’s Planning and Growth Management Department is updating the mineral aggregate resource mapping within the City. The draft report, titled Proposed Official Plan Bedrock Mineral Aggregate Resource Designations, documents the various steps and decisions in the study that have led to the recommended mapping of additional bedrock areas in the Official Plan Review of 2013. The report and other information are available on ottawa.ca/ruralreview.

The Canadian Museum of Nature’s postdoctoral fellow, Jordan Mallon poses with Edmontosaurus Regalis, the first dinosaur that was put on display when the museum first opened its doors in 1913. The museum is celebrating its centennial this year, and will be showcasing a few of its original pieces this fall.
If you live on land affected by this proposal or within 500m of any proposed designation, your input is extremely important. All feedback, whether in support or opposed, will weigh heavily in any final decision to further designate any lands as Aggregate Resource. Letters were sent to all landowners and also to any property owner within 500m of a proposed designation. Proposed areas are all within former Goulbourn and Marlborough Townships, west of McCordick Road/Eagleson Road. Please visit the link about to find the map. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office. You can also contact Robin van de Lande at robin. vandelande@ottawa.ca (P: 613-580-2424 x43011) as he is the lead planner on this file.
Nature museum celebrates old age placed on display at the museum in 1913 - a Xiphactinus- a large extinct fish - and brontothere, a mammal much like a rhinoceros can still be found in the same area of the museum they were placed 100 years ago. “At the time, no one in Canada would have seen something like this in Canada,” Mallon said. The museum said they are preparing for a formal celebration to commemorate the last 100 years, but no plans have been set as of yet. Visit nature.ca for more information about the museum’s galleries, admission and schedule information.
Construction Update in Bells Corners Construction at the intersection of Robertson Road and Moodie Drive began on Tuesday, August 6th. This project will likely impact residents from the Goulbourn area so I wanted to provide a heads up. Motorists and cyclists can expect traffic disruptions and delays at this busy intersection. They are advised to practice extra caution while following the direction signs around the construction zone. OC Transpo service will continue to operate through the intersection during the construction period, and pedestrian access will also be maintained. Construction is slated for completion by early December 2013. This construction at Robertson Road and Moodie Drive intersection is a $2.6 million project that will improve traffic through the intersection and safety for commuters. This work is a component of the Network Modification Improvement and Transit Priority initiative approved by Council in 2012.

News - The Canadian Museum of Nature is celebrating its centennial this year, making it as old some of the rare finds between its walls. In its infancy, the museum was gathering artifacts at an alarming rate, and some of the first items it put on display were those ancient monsters that lay dormant beneath the Alberta tar sands for more than 65 million years. The museum officially opened its doors in January of 1913. “Crowds of people visited the fossil gallery, with it often being crowded up to the hour of closing,” wrote Lawrence Lambe, the museum’s paleontologist in 1913. Now, paleontologist Jordan Mallon reflects that people have had many chances to see dinosaurs at the movie theatre, with films such as Jurassic Park. But seeing them in person in the museum’s fossil gallery hall can ignite a visitor’s imagination, he said. “These things are so unlike anything alive today,” he said. “We all marvel in monsters and here we have proof that something like Godzilla existed. It never gets old. The fossils get older, but they never get old to look at.” Once known as the Hall of Fossil Vertebrates, the Talisman Energy Fossil Gallery now has more than 30 complete skeletons on display, 15 life-sized models and hundreds of specimens. In 1913, it was a different story. The museum was brand spanking new and in order to have items to draw in the crowds, the organization decided it had to jump on “the bone war” wagon and hired Charles H. Sternberg, a Kansas archeologist, sending him to Alberta to find skeletons of 65- to 85-million-year-old dinosaurs. “They didn’t make much, but for Charles, it was all about the joy of
showing God’s handy work,” Mallon said. As Mallon walks through the gallery as it stands today, he notes that although much has changed in what we now know about dinosaurs and how scientists handle the specimens, the 100-year-old skeletons in the hall still are spectacular. “They went out in the field in 1912, the fossils went on display in 1913 - they managed to turn it around in a year, it’s amazing,” he said. “Now a-days to prep something like this would take much longer.” Edmontosaurus was placed on display in July 1913. It’s estimated to weigh nearly 15,000 pounds and took 20 men to bring into the hall. According to Mallon, this fossil is about 95 per cent complete - about as good as it gets when it comes to finding a complete dinosaur. The fossil was found by Sternberg and mounted in the hall just as it was found in the field - with one small detail changed. “He commented that the way its head laid looked pathetic so he gave it some more life and moved it,” Mallon said. In Sternberg’s field notes, the bone collector described finding the skeleton in his book “Hunting Dinosaurs in the Bad Lands of the Red Deer River, Alberta Canada”. “The animal lay like a dead dog; I thought I had never seen anything so pitiful and forlorn,” Sternberg wrote. “Charlie and I mounted it the next winter, and were careful to put a little life into the dead skeleton by straightening out the neck a little, and giving a sense of motion, as it were, to the tail, so that the animal would not look as repulsive as it otherwise would to some observers; for there is such a thing as breathing life into the skeletons that have been buried out of sight for three million years or more.” Mallon notes that Sternberg’s timeline is outdated, and that this animal lived over 71 million years ago. Two other skeletons which were

New snow disposal facilities needed Carp Road site being considered John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Snow is a fact of life in wintertime Canada. And with snow comes plowing and snow removal which, for the city of Ottawa, is a large enterprise. But the snow has to go someplace. Right now, snow removed by city of Ottawa crews and contractors here in west Ottawa ends up at various snow disposal sites such as those on Maple Grove Road and on the east side of Carp Road at highway 417. But these Maple Grove Road and Carp Road sites are both anticipated to close and there is already a deďŹ ciency in disposal capacity. So, the obvious solution is to locate and develop a new snow disposal site and this is what the city of Ottawa has been doing. The city began by reviewing ten potential locations for such a snow disposal facility, selecting a site on Westbrook Road just west of Carp Road as having potential for development as a snow disposal facility. Westbrook Road serves the West Carleton Industrial Park which is on the west side of Carp Road just south of highway 417. This resulted in a proposal to develop a snow disposal facility with a 357,000 square metres snow pack capacity, with the site lined with a membrane to protect groundwater quality. The snow stockpile area is to be 100 me-
tres from any residences along Carp Road to the east. There will be a four metre high berm constructed for visual and noise attenuation along the east edge of the site. The height of this snow stockpile area is not to exceed 15 metres. There will be lighting along an access road leading into the nearly 24 hectare site from Westbrook Road at its intersection with Walgreen Road. The engineered site will feature not only the four hectare snow disposal area but also a â&#x20AC;&#x153;dump and pushâ&#x20AC;? area nearly one hectare in size, a four hectare storm water management area and two snow meltwater ponds with the bottom and sides lined with a membrane. These ponds will help remove metals, oils and other contaminants from the meltwater except for salt. The runoff will be mixed with water from the storm water pond to dilute it as it feeds along a ditch and ultimately discharges into an Ontario Ministry of Transportation ditch along highway 417. There will be trees planted in the northwest corner of the site to eliminate any visual impact to motorists passing by eastbound on highway 417 which runs along the north of the site. There will be six hectares of property at the western side of the site which will not be developed for the snow disposal facility. There are no immediate plans for this six hectares. A city works garage might be possible but the area is considered probably too small for such a facility. There was an open house at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners on

Tuesday, Aug. 6 where the latest plan for this siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s development as a snow disposal facility was outlined. Input from the public will be received for a couple of weeks with a ďŹ nal draft report on the plan being prepared and then publicized for public review. There will be a 30 day period for members of the public to request an environmental â&#x20AC;&#x153;bump upâ&#x20AC;? of the report to the Ontario Minister of the Environment who may or may not grant such a request. If the ďŹ nal report goes ahead, then the city of Ottawa will deal with a rezoning for the site to allow such a snow disposal facility. This could be ďŹ nalized by the end of December. The proposal would then go to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment for its approval, something which could take anywhere from three to six months. If approval is received, then the city would issue a tender call for the work involved in developing the site as a snow disposal facility. Whether the facility would be available for any part of the 2014-2015 snow season would depend on how quickly approvals are received and how quickly the work is done. Total estimated cost of developing this engineered snow disposal facility is around six million dollars. City of Ottawa councillors Scott Moffatt of the Rideau-Goulbourn ward, in whose ward the proposed snow disposal facility will be located, and Shad Qadri of the Stittsville ward attended the open house on the proposal which was held on Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report PROGRESS AND GREEN SPACE AT LANSDOWNE By Jim Watson
In July we broke ground on the urban park, which will be one of the great features of the new Lansdowne. Until now, the irony of the name Lansdowne Park was that there was very little parkland on the site. We are ďŹ nally replacing the sea of asphalt with useable park space for all residents to enjoy. The new Lansdowne Park will be a complete community with opportunities for shopping,recreation activities,football,soccer, and an urban park. These features will solidify Lansdowne as one of the marquee destinations in Ottawa. The urban park promises to be a signiďŹ cant upgrade over the EXISTING FACILITY THREE TIMES MORE PARK SPACE ACRES FOUR times more trees, 7.2 kilometres of sidewalks and pathways, and ďŹ ve pieces of public art. The centrepiece of the urban park will be the Great Lawn, a PENTAGON SHAPED GREEN SPACE NEXT TO THE 2IDEAU #ANAL AND the beautiful Aberdeen Pavilion that will be roughly the size of the lawn on Parliament Hill and a great place to spend time WITH YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS SEE ARTIST S RENDITION 4HE URBAN PARK WILL ALSO SIT NEXT TO THE NEWLY RENOVATED stadium. Sports fans will enjoy signiďŹ cant improvements to the north side stands and brand new south side stands.

Mother was in a fit state for Aunt Lizzie’s visit
The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box
my bed. The only felt mattress was on Mother and Father’s bed in the downstairs bedroom. That meant the brothers had to haul down the one from upstairs, and lug the other one upstairs, which didn’t please them a bit. After all, it was a Saturday, and they had planned on a day of fishing in the Bonnechere...not a day spent lugging mattresses up and down the stairs. But with Aunt Lizzie coming, every hand was put to use. That is, all except Father. He wanted no part of what he considered unnecessary work. He escaped to the barns, telling Mother it was time he did something about that broken door in the cow byre. He would appear only for his meals until Mother’s frantic house
MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories cleaning was over. My sister and I also had to give up our little shared washstand in our bedroom. It had to be completely emptied, and washed inside and out. What a carry-on, just because Aunt Lizzie was coming from Regina. Getting the food ready was a challenge in itself. Even though Aunt Lizzie was born and bred on that homestead out in Northcote, you would never know she had ever breathed a breath of air from Renfrew County. There would be no salt pork for breakfast, and certainly pork hocks, and mud pout would never see the light of day all the time Aunt Lizzie’s visit lasted. So as soon as the house was cleaned from top to bottom, Mother set to baking. The old Findlay Oval was fair jumping, as pie after pie, Johnny cake, and bread puddings were made and stacked in the ice box. A loaf of store-bought bread, and a real pound of butter replaced what we ate every day of our lives on the farm. Mother, once again, asked Father to please refrain from cooling his tea in his saucer while his sister was here, but her request, I knew, would fall on deaf ears. As far as Father was concerned, he wasn’t about to change his habits just because Aunt Lizzie was coming with her high-falutin airs. Even though Aunt Lizzie caused complete bedlam in our household before and during her visit, I loved when she came from Regina. She always brought me something special. One time it was a doll, which, except for its body, was made of china. Even its little arms and legs were China. I used to think she was the smartest thing to ever step off the train in Renfrew Station. She always wore pure white ... a white dress in the latest fashion ... and a big wide red leg-
horn hat, and white gloves that went all the way up to her elbow. And on the outside of those spanking white gloves was a big red glass ring. Tiny red patent-leather shoes completed the outfit. I would marvel at the wealth of our western cousins. Didn’t her two
sons go to university? Of course, it was Aunt Lizzie who once or twice a year packed a big wood tea box full of clothes no longer suitable for her sons, and send it off to Renfrew on the train. It was the hand-me-down box. Now, once again, Aunt Lizzie was coming to visit. Finally, the house was spotless. We were warned to take our shoes off at the door, not to touch the woodwork which had just been polished, and to make sure our bedrooms were kept spotlessly clean – a tall order for five rambunctious kids. Aunt Lizzie was to arrive in three days. We couldn’t be more ready. Then the phone rang one morning, just after our breakfast. It was the stationmaster in Renfrew. There was a telegram from the
west. Mother asked him to read it. It was from Aunt Lizzie, and she was so sorry, but her trip had to be cancelled because Uncle Jack was getting an unexpected award from the CPR, and it was on the very weekend she planned on leaving. They had been given a trip to Calgary. Her trip would have to wait until the next summer. Mother asked the stationmaster to read it again. After she hung up the phone, she let out the biggest sigh which I thought could be heard in Douglas. For supper that night Mother hauled out a pie from the ice box, we all had store-bought bread with real butter, we five kids sat at the table with our shoes on, and there sat Father with his tea in his saucer, cooling it off until it was fit to drink.

other was in a state! Aunt Lizzie was on her way from Regina for her annual summer visit. As usual, she gave little notice. A letter had come just days before she was to arrive. That gave little time for Mother to get the house in spic and span order. Father reminded her she had just torn the whole place upside down for the spring cleaning. “That was months ago, Albert. And you know your sister. She can spot a fleck of dust a mile away.” Aunt Lizzie would be given the bed Audrey and I slept in, and that meant we would be sent down to the creton couch in the kitchen, where we would have to sleep foot-to-foot since it was so narrow. Heaven forbid that Aunt Lizzie would sleep on a feather mattress, which was what was on Audrey’s and

News - If you’re still looking for a free Presto card, you’re out of luck. As of yesterday, Aug. 14, the city expected to have distributed all 145,000 smart cards, which can be loaded with a bus pass or cash value to pay for trips on buses and the OTrain. Ecopass users, students and selected community groups will still get free Presto cards as planned. City of Ottawa employees who used Ecopass will get Presto cards in September and federal government employees will

switch over in October. Students who receive OC Transpo passes through their school boards will get the Presto card when they return to school in September, and OC Transpo will set up on campus at Algonquin College and La Cité Collégiale to hand out free cards once classes begin. From now on, it will cost $6 to obtain each card (including replacements). The user can then go online to prestocard.ca or to an OC Transpo sales and information centres to purchase and load a pass or cash balance, called “e-purse.” Presto cards are available in person at: • Rideau Station • Lincoln Fields Station • St. Laurent Station • Place D’Orléans Station • City hall (110 Laurier Ave. W.) • Ben Franklin Place (101 Centrepointe Dr., Nepean) • Kanata client service centre (main level, 580 Terry Fox Dr.) The city has lowered fares on the Presto card to encourage riders to adopt the new form of payment. One adult fare using a Presto cash balance costs $2.72, while tickets cost $3 per ride and a cash fare will set you back $3.40 per ride. The minimum first purchase when a rider obtains a card in person or online is $10. If using a cash balance on your Presto card, the city recommends setting up the auto-reload feature to automatically top up the card’s balance when it reaches a minimum amount. That avoids delays in reloading the cards, because cash added to your card online may not be accessible to use for 24 to 48 hours after reloading the card. September monthly passes will be available starting Aug. 18. Presto cards are not accepted on Para Transpo vehicles because the technology isn’t compatible.

Parade to return to familiar environs on Bank Street News - The organizers of the 2013 Capital Pride Festival are looking forward to taking their signature parade back to its roots this year. Held Aug. 16 to 25, the festival will see over 30 LGBT groups from the Ottawa area stage more than 75 events throughout the city. In a break from recent years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; due to the construction of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown LRT tunnel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Aug. 25 Pride Parade will be moved from Wellington Street to Bank Street, home of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly designated LGBT Village. The return to Bank Street is something organizers are excited about, given the street hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hosted the parade in nearly a decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Its roots are on Bank Street,â&#x20AC;? said Brody Fraser, Capital Prideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vicechair of communications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great place and has a much more intimate feel to it.â&#x20AC;? As part of the LGBT Villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official designation, the City of Ottawa installed branding that signifies the cultural heritage of the area â&#x20AC;&#x201C; generally agreed as being located between James and Nepean streets and spanning a block on both sides of Bank. Local shop owners in the village and the committee members who nurture it boosted the theme by installing their own flags and lights. Presenting sponsor of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capital Pride Festival is Barefoot Wine & Bubbly, while TD Bank returns as a major festival sponsor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More businesses on Bank Street are taking part in the festival this year,â&#x20AC;? said Fraser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Camera) is working with our marketing team to set up a photo booth at the festival.â&#x20AC;? The festival as a whole has evolved since it was first held in 1986 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both in terms of size and community acceptance. In the ensuing years, more emphasis has been placed on recognizing the many supporters and advocates who have worked to further the cause of LGBT rights and acceptance. Reflecting this, 2013 will see an expansion of the parade marshals program, with Jay Koornstra of Bruce House serving as grand parade marshal, Amanda Ryan of Gender Mosaic as lifetime achievement marshal, Mike Tattersall of National Capital Leather Pride as community builder marshal, LGBT youth activist Erika Butler as youth marshal, and Jamaican LGBT activist Maurice Thomlinson as international marshal. The role and importance of youth has emerged as a growing focus not just for Capital Pride, but LGBT organizations country-wide. Their youth program has expanded in recent years into a nearly standalone entity called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Etc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Etc. is run for youth, by youth, and led by Capital Prideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest-ever board member, 18-year-old Hannah Watt, who first joined Capital Pride as a volunteer a few years ago. Watt said the first LGBT activists were largely composed of young adults who experienced harsh victimization and were often expelled
from their homes due to their sexual orientation. Time marched on, and headway was made over the ensuing years in terms of rights and protection. However, even as victories are declared in certain battles, with each new generation comes new challenges and reasons for advocacy. When youth meet at Etc.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly meetings and events, they are encouraged to take a look at their environment and identify what they like seeing and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing people looking at past accomplishments, discussing current issues and deciding what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to fight for,â&#x20AC;? said Watt. Watt said she is grateful for the FILE hard-working, inspirational volun- Thousands gathered in downtown Ottawa last year to take part in the 2012 Capital Pride Parade.

Musicians keep the beat in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It was a musical journey back in time to the 1950’s and 1960’s at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond on Thursday evening, Aug. 8. The journey was all thanks to the Heartbeats, a five piece show band that specializes in the nostalgic rock ‘n roll music of the 1950s and 1960s. “Are you ready to rock ‘n roll tonight,” the band shouted to the crowd of 300 at the beginning of the concert and the band didn’t disappoint – it was one and a half hours of the music that once flowed out of jukeboxes but was now flowing from the city of Ottawa stage set up at the fairgrounds, thanks to the Heartbeats. It all began with a “When I Was Just A Little Boy” medley that included “Chantilly Lace,” a song first released in 1958 with a later 1972 release by Jerry Lee Lewis becoming a number one hit, and “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Going On,” another Jerry Lee Lewis hit, this time in 1957. And what trip down the rock ‘n roll memory lane would be complete without a tip of the hat to Bill Haley and his Comets and their early 1954 hit “Rock Around the Clock.” After the Heartbeats sang this, the group launched into Lloyd Price’s 1959 iconic hit “Stagger Lee.” And the 50s and 60s hits just kept coming. A mention of all of the Bobby personalities who were vocalists in the 1950s, such as Bobby Vee, Bobby Vinton and Bobby Darin preceded the band’s launching into Bobby Darin’s 1960 hit “Dream Lover.” And switching from Bobby to Joe,
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
The Heart Beats band on stage at the Richmond Fairgrounds on Aug. 8. The band has been playing 50’s and 60’s music for almost 25 years throughout the Ottawa valley. This was the second and last Music in the Park evening. The next two Thursdays the music will be held in Stittsville at the park on Main Street. the Heartbeats presented a rousing rendition of Big Joe Turner’s 1955 hit “Flip, Flop and Fly,” a song which came on the heels of his 1954 classic rock ‘n roll hit “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” No wonder he is in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame. No tribute to the songs of the 1950s and 1960s would be complete with mention of the 1959 plane crash that took the lives of Richie Valens and Buddy Holly. The Heartbeats not only mentioned the crash but then sang Richie Valens’ 1958 hit “La Bamba,” following it up with a Buddy Holly twosome, “Peggy Sue” from 1957 and “That’ll Be The Day” of 1958.
And while The Coasters are not a household name except to the most diehard of rock ‘n roll aficionados, this American doo wop vocal group had a string of hits in the late 1950s including “Charlie Brown” which the Heartbeats sang at this concert. On and on it went for the whole hour and a half concert and even for ten minutes beyond. You heard Eddy Cochran’s 1958 hit “Summertime Blues”; Del Shannon’s “Runaway” of 1961; Roy Orbison’s classic 1964 hit “Oh Pretty Woman”; Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love”: the 1957 hit “At the Hop” by Danny and The Juniors; Bobby Freeman’s “Do You Wanna Dance” from 1958;
“California Sun” which The Surfaris made famous in 1964; “Let’s Dance,” which was Chris Montez’s 1962 hit; Chubby Checker’s “Come On, Baby, Let’s Do The Twist”; “Tutti Frutti” by Little Richard (1955); “Runaround Sue” by Dion and The Belmonts (1960); “The Wanderer,” another Dion and The Belmonts hit a year later (1961); and a little dash of Motown flavour with “My Girl” by the Temptations in 1965. The Heartbeats finished up the concert with Bob Seger’s 1979 classic “Old Time Rock and Roll” followed by an encore, Wilson Picket’s “Mustang Sally.” Members of the five-member
Heartbeats include Denny Welburn on lead guitar; Pat Hallett on rhythm guitar; Roger Heroux on bass guitar; Roddy McCann on guitar and saxophone; and Richard Wills on drums. This free Thursday evening concert was the second straight free Thursday evening concert at the Richmond fairgrounds sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with Rural West Recreation of the city of Ottawa. On Thursday, Aug. 1, the country rock group Blackwell performed in the first of these concerts. The scene of these free Thursday evening concerts is now shifting to Village Square Park in Stittsville where “Sidewinder” will perform on Thursday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m., to be followed by the Mick Armitage Band on Thursday, Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. At the Thursday, Aug. 8 concert with the Heartbeats at the Richmond fairgrounds, donations were collected for CHEO. In addition, a cash-only BBQ was held before the concert, starting at 6 p.m. with all funds raised going to support the Richmond-Stittsville 4H Club and its activities. In opening remarks at the concert, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt noted that it was important to have a couple of the concerts sponsored by Waste Management in partnership with the city held in Richmond this year. This was the first year that such concerts had been held in Richmond. Councillor Moffatt expressed the hope that the practice of holding a couple of these concerts in Richmond would continue in the future, noting that Waste Management is a firm that does a lot for the wider community.

“That was way to easy!”
EMC news - A plaque to commemorate the site of the Holiness Movement and Free Methodist Campgrounds and the Mapledene Youth Camp is being unveiled this Saturday, Aug. 17. The 2 p.m. unveiling will take place on the east side of the Stittsville soccer field at Alexander Grove. This is the latest project by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society to identify historical buildings, events and landmarks in Stittsville and Goulbourn. Everyone is welcome to attend this unveiling. There will be a display of historic photos of the former Holiness Movement and subsequent Free Methodist Campgrounds as well as the Mapledene Youth Camp which located at the site in 1948. Light refreshments will also be provided at the event. There will be lots of parking available at the parking lot of the nearby Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. Thousands of visitors came to Stittsville between the years of 1898 and 1974 because of
the presence of these religious campgrounds. There were even family cottages erected at the site, which also featured over the years a dining hall and a house of worship. The camp meetings began with worship services held in large tents which eventually gave way to the more permanent structures. The campgrounds stretched from Manchester Street in the south to Poole Creek in the north. It was in 1959 that the Holiness Movement Church and the Free Methodist Church merged, bringing even more people to what were then called the Free Methodist Campgrounds in Stittsville. The idea to erect a plaque to commemorate these religious campgrounds in Stittsville was made by Lillian Hobbs of Munster at the Historical Society’s annual general meeting last January. Since then, much effort has gone into researching the history of the campgrounds and recording the names of those who attended the summer religious meetings at the site. This will all come to a climax this Saturday, Aug. 17 at 2 p.m. with the unveiling of this new plaque at the site.

Try ringette on Aug. 25 at Goulbourn rec centre Special to the News
Sports - The game has a certain â&#x20AC;&#x153;ringâ&#x20AC;? to it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fast paced ice sport related to ice hockey where skating, passing and teamwork, along with fun, are emphasized. And the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ringâ&#x20AC;?? Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the equivalent of hockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s puck. This circular â&#x20AC;&#x153;ringâ&#x20AC;? is controlled by a stick, just like in hockey, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bladeless stick. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, but you get the idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a game played by girls on ice that has many of the same features as hockey (skating, passing, for instance) but is uniquely different (a ring, not a puck, for instance) and is a lot of fun to play. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called ringette. Although the game has been around for 50 years, it continues to grow and attract players players and one of the ways that this is happening is through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Try Ringetteâ&#x20AC;? sessions. The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA), which offers ringette in the Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton areas, is hosting a free â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Try Ringetteâ&#x20AC;? session on Sunday, Aug. 25 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville. This is a chance for any girl aged four and up to simply show up and have the chance to try out the game of ringette. The WORA has arranged for the ice time and there is absolutely no charge to attend. All that is needed is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves, either winter gloves or hockey gloves. Ringette sticks, yes, those bladeless ones, will be available to use. In addition, there will be on-ice helpers on hand to explain the sport and how it works to those who attend. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Try Ringetteâ&#x20AC;? session will take place from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. (on Sunday, Aug. 25 at the GRC). And to make it even easier to get involved in playing ringette, this year the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund, has provided a grant to WORA to enable more young girls to start enjoying the sport. Thanks to this grant funding, WORA now has an equipment loan program that is applicable this coming season for up to 25 new ringette players from the ages of 4 to 7. This program means that new 4 to 7 year old players will receive all the necessary equipment required to play ringette except for a helmet and skates. There will be information available about this new equipment loan program at the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come Try Ringetteâ&#x20AC;? session at the GRC on Sunday, Aug. 25. The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) offers a range of ringette programs for players of all ages, starting at the age of four with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunniesâ&#x20AC;? program. Girls between the
Ringette is a fast-paced game that appeals to all ages. You can try it for free on Aug. 25 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. ages of 4 and 7 begin as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunny,â&#x20AC;? participating in a learn-to-skate program as well as being introduced to the game of ringette. Those in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunniesâ&#x20AC;? program do not play formal league games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other ringette associations throughout the city of Ottawa and area. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bunniesâ&#x20AC;? program takes place at the GRC on Saturday mornings. For players from ages 7 through 18, WORA offers both recreational and competitive rin-
gette programs. League play runs from early October through to the end of March. Home arenas for WORA includes those in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. Away games can take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau, among other locations. Teams also have the opportunity to participate in tournaments where not only do the players have the chance to play other teams but where they have the opportunity to have fun
with their teammates and meet ringette players from other areas of the region and the province. Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. There are six players from each team on the ice at any one time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two forwards, one centre, two defense and one goalie. Ringette is related to ice hockey in that similar protective gear is worn and a similar ice playing surface is used. But the rules and approach to the game are different. In ringette, instead of passing a puck, players â&#x20AC;&#x153;stab the ringâ&#x20AC;? which is the equivalent of the puck. Players are not permitted to carry this ring over the two blue lines as it must be passed to another player to cross the line. This adds an essential team aspect to the game. A ringette stick is similar to a hockey stick but with no blade. It must be placed inside the ring (hence, â&#x20AC;&#x153;stabbing the ringâ&#x20AC;?) with the player then controlling it until there is an opportunity to pass to a teammate or to take a shot on net. The ring tends to be easier to control than a puck in hockey but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where the blue line rule makes an impact. The ring has to be passed over the blue line, meaning that ringette ends up with more passing than in hockey. This means that passing and, indeed, skating are vital in ringette, as is teamwork. Another difference between ringette and hockey is that only three players from each team are allowed inside the zone between the red line and the goalie. More details about the West Ottawa Ringette Association, its programs and the game of ringette in general can be found at the website www.westottawaringette.com. New this year, you can also follow West Ottawa ringette on Twitter@WestOttawaWild. For more information about the sport of ringette, you can also contact Lorraine Douglas via email at administration@westottawaringette.com or by phone at 613-435-4837. Online registration for the 2013-2014 season for the West Ottawa Ringette Association and its programs is now open. The sport of ringette has marked its 50th anniversary year in 2013 as the game was introduced by Sam Jacks in North Bay in 1963. Since then, ringette has spread to other countries such as Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Russia and the United States, although Canada still has the largest number of ringette players with over 50,000 playing the game. Canadian championships in ringette are held annually as has been the case since 1979. The sport is also played in universities and is a sport at the Canada Winter Games.

War Amps key tags
Dr. Kenneth
Peacefully and surrounded by his family on Wednesday, August 7, 2013. Beloved husband of Marlyne (Watts). Dear father of Jody (Diana), Marla (RenĂŠ), and Nancy (Scott). Proud grandfather of Kyle, Gregory, Christian, Elisa, Nicholas, Hannah and Tyler. Donald was predeceased by his sister Eunice (Darrel). Donald was born in MontrĂŠal, Quebec on July 15, 1929. He had a successful career with the Canadian Military for 35 years, retiring with the well-respected rank of Chief Warrant Officer. His travels and service through Indo-China, Japan, Korea, France, Germany, Brussels and Canada have been well documented in a large number of pictures. His retirement years were long and filled with his love for opera music (loudly on occasion), science fiction books, baseball (even when his team was losing), puzzles (too big and hard for the rest of us to help with), working at the local garage (making coffee), beer (at room temperature of course) and women in dresses (or for that matter, all women). He was known as the local neighbourhood watch, and could often be seen â&#x20AC;&#x153;patrollingâ&#x20AC;? the street in his trademark socks and sandals. He was a man of few needs, made happiest his last few years spending time with his dog Bosley, his cat Mickey and keeping up with his seven grandchildren of whom he was so proud. There will be no formal visitation or service, however please come celebrate Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life with us on August 17, 2013, 1:00 to 5:00 pm, at the Royer residence. Tributes, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society and condolences may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Ken Hranchuk in his 69th year, on August 3rd, 2013. Beloved husband for 36 years of Donna Christie.

Forever missed by sisters Sophie Schmidt and Marlene Larter and brothers and sisters-in-laws Gail and Gary Fairhead and Kate and Doug McLean. Predeceased by his parents Dan and Mary, and sisters Doris and Isabelle. Fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, and friends. Ken was a man who devoted his life to his family and who also was committed to bettering the lives of others. Family and friends were invited to celebrate this remarkable life at a visitation at the Carp Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 115 Rivington Street, Carp on Thursday, August 8th from 2:00â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4:00 and 7:00â&#x20AC;&#x201C;9:00 p.m. and at the Loch March Golf and Country Club, 1755 Old Carp Road, Kanata on Friday, August 9th from 1:00â&#x20AC;&#x201C;4:00 p.m. Condolences, tributes or donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com

For the past decade, the Pinhey’s Point Historic Site is transformed into River Fest, which celebrates the historical and cultural value of the Ottawa River. It allows attendees to discover the role the river played in the lives of all those that have lived off it. People learned first hand what it was and is like for the First Nations, the lumberjacks and settlers and the animals living deep within the river through boat rides, heritage demonstration, music, foods and crafts. Hosted by Eileen Mattson, the watercolour workshop gives everybody the chance to explore their artistic side. Soleil Haughton, 11, and her sister River, 6, take that opportunity with both hands, painting trees on the canvas. PATRICIA LEBOEUF/METROLAND

On the road with the mayor Sabine Gibbins sabine.gibbins@metroland.com
Community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too early!â&#x20AC;? On a bright and sunny Saturday morning, this is music to the ears to Mayor Jim Watson, who wanders into a farmers market in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural outskirts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know, I know,â&#x20AC;? he says, laughing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just after 8 a.m. on Aug. 10, and while it is still pretty quiet at the North Gower Farmers Market, Watson, clutching a reusable navy bag, heads into the market, on a hunt for dessert. And so begins a typical start to the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend schedule. While this particular Saturday was not the busiest in the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books, it is just a taste of what he does on a semi-regular basis, minus the usual city business which takes place during the week. Every year, the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce receives nearly 5,000 invitations to city-wide events from community organizations and individuals. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to impossible to attend each and

half of them or asks his deputy mayors to represent him at the events he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attend. On this summer day, Watson is scheduled to attend 10 events, a considerably light day for
His Worship. The most events heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attended on one day is 18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lines start to blur a little bit,â&#x20AC;? he says of all the events he attends. Riding shotgun, the mayor sips on a hot tea and unwraps a toasted bagel with cream cheese, and part-way through the morning, ďŹ&#x201A;icks the radio on to 105.3 KISS-FM, turning up the volume slightly to better hear one of his favourite pop songs of the moment. He ďŹ&#x201A;ips open his schedule to reveal red highlighted blocks. The red ones on his schedule indicate a â&#x20AC;&#x153;must attendâ&#x20AC;? event, where he is either giving greetings or making a presentation, or both. The ones that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t highlighted are ones he will drop in at, even just for a few minutes, if time allows. Throughout the day, the mayor keeps an eye on the time, and suggests quicker routes to special assistant and driver Will Bulmer. He pulls some trivia out every once in a while about the city heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lived in for most of his life. See MAYOR, page 45

Mayor Jim Watson, right, may usually cut ribbons at community events, but once in a while heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asked to mark an occasion a little differently. Here, the Mayor ceremoniously and successfully breaks a board with his hand after ringing in the 30th anniversary celebration of the OrlĂŠans Child Care Centre on Aug. 10.
Mayor fits 11 events into 1 day Continued from page 44
instructs his driver to take a little spin around the neighbourhood and into the country. THE DAY
During the cruise, the mayor remarks on rural life in the city, saying how important it is to support local farmers and growers. He picks up a few baked goods from the farmers market in North Gower, shaking hands with a few of the vendors and marveling at the array of pies, jams, and fresh fruits and vegetables on display. In Metcalfe, he picks up some sweet corn, before buying a few chocolate cookies from a young vendor. He learns itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior Vendors Day at the market, a special event showing off some of the creations youngsters have displayed. Inside the hall, he bumps into fellow colleague Osgoode Coun. Doug Thompson, engaging him in some gentle ribbing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the first Tim Hortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? he said pointing out a coffee shop on Montreal Road. With a number of different job portfolios already under his belt, the mayor knows the city like the back of his hand. The former MPP and minister of municipal affairs and housing is well into his second stint as mayor. The first time, Watson was elected in 1997, before the city was amalgamated. The number and style of events he attended in those two roles were vastly different from what he attends now, he said, mainly because the city was a regional municipality. Now, the mayor goes the distance to try to attend as many community events as possible. The North Gower and Metcalfe farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; markets were the first two stops on Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. After realizing his earliness, Watson

SABINE GIBBINS/METROLAND
Mayor Jim Watson was proud to assist in unveiling a new playground at Carson Road with Ottawa Community Housing representatives and volunteers. This was one of the main events on his calendar last Saturday.
Mayor enjoys touring around city for different events Continued from page 45
Before too long, it’s time to hit the road for Ottawa’s east end, where a playground unveiling is set to happen with Ottawa Community Housing. On comes the music. Once arriving at Carson Road, Watson connects with Jo-Anne Poirier, CEO of Ottawa Community Housing, and Tony Greco of Greco Lean and Fit, who partnered with the organization and a myriad of volunteers to helped build the playground. After speaking and thanking the organizations and volunteers, he receives a quick tour of the newly installed structure. The fourth stop of the morning is a visit to Strathcona Park in the city’s Sandy Hill neighbourhood, where the 13th annual Art in Strathcona Park is taking place. He strolls up and down the sidewalk, glancing at the art on display, and shaking hands with the artists, expressing amazement at their work. The mayor’s a familiar face to a few who say they have met him before at another event. After stopping at all the vendors, it’s time to take off for the fifth event of the day – the Muslim Summer Festival at Britannia Park, hosted by the Muslim Association of Canada. There he receives a cultural lesson as he walks from tent to tent, and is greeted by the organizers, joined by fellow area politicians including Ottawa South MP David McGuinty, Ottawa South MPP-elect John Fraser, and council colleague Shad Qadri. The sixth stop of the day is the annual garlic festival at the Carp Farmers Market. A traffic jam into Carp slows the drive into the village,
and causes time at the festival to be a bit shorter than expected. After finding Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, the two present an award to the best garlic booth. Glancing at his watch, the mayor says it’s time to motor, and head to his seventh event in the west end, Glabar Park Community Fun Day, in Carlingwood, where he grabs a bite to eat, makes the rounds, and then departs again, this time for Orléans. The eighth event of the day is a big one for the mayor, who delivers congratulatory remarks on the 30th anniversary of the Orléans Day Care Centre, and participates in the official ceremonies. The ninth event of the day is Festival of India at City Hall, an event the mayor attended earlier to but didn’t have as much time to visit. The tenth event is Jam Day at Mooney’s Bay Park, where the mayor greets the masses gathered and congratulates them on their achievements. The next and last event of the day is the Chinese Night Market at the T&T Superstore, where the mayor is practically a celebrity as he poses for photos and enjoys a shrimp delicacy. It’s 5 p.m., and before he knows it, the day is done. A family supper will round out the evening before he is at it again the next morning. And Watson wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. “People ask me why I go to all these events, but I feel it’s important to go and to show support because the organizers have spent so much time putting it together,” he says. “The least I can do is show up for even half an hour or so to thank them.”

Volunteers hand out free lights and bells and demonstrate how to properly install them at a Lights on Bikes blitz last fall. The joint venture was one of the local initiatives honoured with a Road Safety Achievement Award last week.
Ottawa road safety advocates honoured Staff
Community - Thirteen individuals and organizations in Ottawa have been recognized with Road Safety Achievement Awards for outstanding contributions to road safety initiatives in the community. The awards were handed out by Glen Murray, Ontario minister of transportation and minister of Infrastructure, and Mayor Jim Watson. “These awards recognize outstanding individuals and organizations that are helping to make our roads safer for everyone,” he said. “By recognizing these achievements, we are also helping to raise awareness of road safety while reminding people to travel safely and responsibly.” “Many recipients are committed volunteers who are making our roads safer for all users, including our cyclists, pedestrians, motorcyclists, and motorists,” Watson said. Ottawa’s 2012 Road Safety Achievement Awards nominees are: • A1 Secure Initiative (Ottawa Public Health’s car seat program) • Barbara Mews (recipient of the road safety professional award) • Cycling Safety Awareness Program • Hand in Hand Committee (Focus on the PACE Car Program) • Hot 89.9 FM (Leave the Phone Alone Campaign) • Lights on Bikes initiative (Citizens for Safe Cycling, RightBike, Pathway Patrol Program) • Operation Toe Tag (Club Optimiste Vanier) • Ottawa Safety Council – motorcycle in-
structors • Ottawa Safety Council – school zone traffic safety program • Pathway Patrol Program • Pattison Signs • Sgt. John Kiss – Ottawa Police Service • Workplace Cycling Safety Program These awards recognize excellence in the following categories: road safety achievement – professional; road safety achievement – volunteer; media excellence in road safety; corporate leadership in road safety; road safety partnerships and road safety initiative of the year. The city’s own safer roads action plan is also helping work towards the goal of keeping people safe on the streets, said Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli, chairman of the transportation committee. “As we continue to strive towards having the safest traffic environment in all of Ontario, it is important to recognize the efforts of the members of our community and also the successes of our Safer Roads Ottawa Program,” he said. “It is the commitment and combined efforts of many people and organizations that are helping us to achieve our goal of improved safety.” The Safer Roads Ottawa Program (ottawa. ca/sro) is a plan to prevent any deaths or serious injuries on the roads through culture change, community engagement and by creating a sustainable safe transportation environment. It is a community partnership between police, firefighters, paramedics, public works and Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department. Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, August 15, 2013 51
