EMC news - It had its inaugural performance on May 12th with 12 ladies singing two songs as guests at the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ spring concert. Now the new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus is ready to roll this fall as a newly established ladies’ choral group, singing both three part and four part harmony. The group is forming to provide the gift of music to the community at specific times of the year, namely near the Christmas season and again in the spring. The idea will be to rehearse in blocks of time about 10 to 12 weeks leading up to each performance. To save weeks of note learning rehearsals, music will be distributed to members in advance so that members can become familiar with the music prior to any rehearsal. Who should consider joining this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus under the direction of Robert Dueck who also directs the Goulbourn Male Chorus? Anyone, preferably experienced in choral singing and who loves to sing, should consider joining. There are benefits in that there will be no regular weekly rehearsals but rather only a few short weeks of rehearsals prior to performances. In addition, all of the

ladies will be experienced singers and note readers who understand what is required for solid choral singing. It is not a chorus for beginners but also there are no auditions. Choral experience and knowing exactly what voice part is yours are what is required. While 12 ladies participated in the inaugural concert last May, director Dueck is hoping for up to 20 singers for the chorus this fall. Most of the singers to date are from the Stittsville/ Kanata area but singers can come from anywhere as long as they can attend rehearsals in the Stittsville area. There will be a $45 cost for membership to cover the cost of buying music, renting rehearsal space and paying an honorarium to the group’s accompanist. Speaking of an accompanist, the group is still searching for someone who will fill this most necessary position. So far, this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus has three performances lined up this fall: Sunday, Nov. 25 at the Stittsville Village; Wednesday, Dec. 5 at the Granite Ridge long term care centre; and Sunday, Dec. 16 at the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ Christmas concert. For more information about this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus, please contact director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or by email at ladieschorus@bell.net

EMC news - It’s new this year – a youth amateur talent contest at the Richmond Fair. A total of $1,000 in prize money will be up for grabs in the contest which will happen on Richmond Fair Sunday, Sept. 16, starting at 12 noon on the outdoor stage at the fairgrounds in Richmond. Right now, contestants are being sought. The entry form is available on the Richmond Fair website, with Saturday, Aug. 25 as the deadline date for the receipt of entries. Spots in this youth talent contest are limited, so contestants will be selected based on availability, talent and originality. Successful applicants will be notified by Saturday, Sept. 8. In the show itself, each contestant will have one minute for set up and three to four minutes of performance time. A fiddler and pianist will be available for accompaniment if needed. There will be two categories in the competition, one for those aged 12 and under and one for those aged 13 to 21 years of age. The prize money for the winners in the age 12 and under category will be $175 first prize, $100 second prize and $50 third prize. In the age 13 to 21 age category, first prize will be $350 while second prize will be $200 and third prize will be $125. For more information about this youth amateur talent contest, please contact Chelsey Foster at 613-402-0003 or email richmondfairtalent@gmail.com This is the first time that the Richmond Fair is having such a youth amateur talent contest. It stems from the fact that the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (CAFÉ) encourages such youth amateur talent contests at local fairs and indeed does hold a national youth talent contest at its annual convention. Dale Greene, general manager of the Richmond Fair, sits on the Board of Directors of CAFÉ and is trying to encourage more fairs in Eastern Ontario to hold local youth talent contests, especially since the national CAFÉ convention will be held in Ottawa next year and having a local regional entry in the national youth talent contest is a goal. The Richmond Agricultural Society’s Board of Directors got on board this year and agreed to hold a youth amateur talent contest as part of this year’s Fair, hoping that interest will be such that the contest will become an annual event and one of a number of such contests that will result in a regional representative to the national contest at the CAFÉ convention.

EMC news - A Dr. Seuss story “The Lorax” will be on the big screen at Village Square Park in Stittsville this coming Tuesday, Aug. 21. It is another in the series of free Tuesday evening movies being shown this summer at Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville. This is a computer-animated 3D musical comedy film based on Dr. Seuss’ children’s book “The Lorax.” When it was released last March, it topped the North American box office with sales of $17.5 million on its opening day and $70.2 million on its opening weekend. It has gone on to be the highestgrossing animated Dr. Seuss film, surpassing “Horton Hears A Who!” The main cast in this film includes Danny DeVito as the Lorax, Zac Efron as Ted and Ed Helms as the Once-ler. Other characters include Audrey, who is voiced by Taylor Swift, Aloysius O’Hare, voiced by Rob Riggle, and Grammy Norma, voiced by Betty White. It is also an environmental film as the story involves “Thneed-Ville,” a walled city where everything is made of plastic, metal or synthetic – there is nothing natural. Ted, the 12 year old hero, sets out to find out about trees

from the Once-ler. In so doing, he learns about The Lorax, a grumpy yet charming orange creature. The movie is based on “The Lorax,” a children’s book written by Dr. Seuss and first published in 1972. This story chronicles the plight of the environment and the Lorax who speaks for the trees against the greedy Once-ler. The movie “The Lorax” will be shown at Village Square Park this coming Tuesday, Aug. 21 at 8:30 p.m. These free movie nights on Tuesdays this summer at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville are being sponsored by Stittsville’s youth connexion program with everyone of all ages welcome to attend. There are refreshments available for sale at these free movie nights. Those planning to attend should take along a blanket or a lawn chair for seating. This movie “The Lorax” is the eighth movie scheduled to be shown in this summer-long series of free Tuesday night movies. The last one will be the movie “The Muppets” which will be shown on Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 8:30 p.m.

EMC news - Consider having fun singing by deciding to join the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers this fall and be part of a community choir that makes joyful music. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers welcomes all singers, with no auditions required. Choir practices are held at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville every Wednesday beginning in September. The ďŹ rst practice, indeed, will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 5 beginning at 7:30 p.m. And singing is no restricted to adults. The Junior Jubilees or JJ’s, which is the youth choir associated with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, also welcomes all boys and girls ages 8 to 14. This youth choir performs selected pieces at Goulbourn Jubilee Singers concerts and have developed quite a reputation for their delightful singing. Weekly Wednesday practices for the Junior Jubilees or JJ’s will begin on Wednesday, Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. Again, just like with the adult choir, everyone is welcome and there are no auditions. For more information about the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or the JJ’s, log onto www.gjsingers.com or call Sandra at 613-831-8414 or Elizabeth at 613-838-6078. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers have now been making beautiful music in the community for over 35 years. The choir originated in Stittsville and Goulbourn and continues to welcome members from Stittsville as well as from surrounding communities. Musical director Linda Crawford, the longtime, now retired music teacher at Goulbourn Middle School, challenges the singers to improve their musical choral skills as they provide music in the community. The Jubilee Singers are also fortunate to have Doll Creelman and her amazing musical talents as the group’s accompanist. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers performs two concerts each year, one at Christmas time and one in the spring wrapping up the singing year. The choir also sings at seniors’ residences in the community and performs at spe-

cial events such as at Village Fest in Stittsville. Earlier this year, the Jubilee Singers’ spring concert saw the Jubilee Singers perform with the Siamsa Singers of Montreal. A few weeks later, the Jubilee Singers travelled to Montreal to perform at the Siamsa Singers concert. This trip also included a Sunday

journey to the Eglise St. Anne De Bellevue where the choirs sang “La Messe Quebecoise.� The Jubilee Singers’ Christmas concert this coming December, to be called “Christmas Jubilee,� will be held on Saturday, Dec. 8 and then again on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 9 at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata.

Cycling the capital City looks to connect its biking routes Ottawa’s new cycling ‘links’ are making it a leader in connecting cycling facilities Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - By the end of this month, there should be a ramp allowing people to wheel their bike up beside the stairs to get up the hill to cross Hartwell Locks. It’s a small, simple addition, and although it has taken eight years to make it happen, it will allow thousands of cyclists to use the locks to cross the Rideau Canal, particularly during the National Capital Commission’s Sunday Bike Days. It’s just one of thousands of small projects completed each year to tweak conditions to make life easier for cyclists in Ottawa, says Robin Bennett, the city’s project manager of cycling programs. Ottawa’s extensive network of pathways and decent complement of painted bicycle lanes allow the city to boast that it is one of the most bikefriendly cities in the country. But if the city wants to hit its target of 12,000 trips taken by bike in 2021 (there were 4,500 in 2001), it needs to link those cycling routes together. Things like the new “bike box” at the north end of Bay Street at Wellington Street are the type of thing that really work to connect cycling

Laura Mueller

Innovative cycling fixes like this new ‘bike box’ at Bay Street and Wellington Street are helping put Ottawa out front of other Ontario municipalities when it comes to bicycle infrastructure. routes, said Colin Simpson, a transportation planner at the city and project manager of the Laurier segregated bicycle lane. “It’s a great addition because it supports an important feeder line,” he said. A left turn at busy Wellington Street is the most intimidating part of cycling from Ottawa’s downtown, including the east-west Laurier segregated lane to the Ottawa River pathway and the Portage Bridge to Gatineau. Adding a bike box there to give cyclists the priority to turn left before cars is a way to make all the rest of the city and NCC pathways and lanes

more accessible and easier to use, Simpson said. Segregated lanes are the way of the future, participants heard at the Velo-City conference in Vancouver this June. They are what make the difference between improving conditions for people who already cycle, and getting new people on the roads, said Simpson, who attended the conference. “We hear from people who are taking up cycling because of this lane,” said Alex deVries, vice president of the local advocacy group, Citizens for Safe Cycling. Unlike segregated lanes, bike boxes don’t need a trial

period or “pilot project,” – they can just be done right away. That’s something Simpson wants to see more of. “We need to go further and do it faster,” he said. CYCLING LEADER

With mysterious and novel things like bike boxes popping up in Ottawa, the city is fast becoming recognized as a leader in cycling infrastructure. Buffered bike lanes on Bay Street are another Ottawa first on Simpson’s list. He wants to make the painted lines of an existing northbound bicycle lane on Bay Street wider by

painting a wider diagonal strip to the left of the bike lane, causing cars to leave more buffer room for cyclists. Another big first will be a grade-separated bicycle track along Churchill Avenue between Byron and Carling. When that road is reconstructed next year, it will have a raised track between the sidewalk and vehicle lanes that will give cyclists a feeling of safety similar to riding on the sidewalk. Being among the first in the province to construct these types of cycling facilities is giving Ottawa the edge in helping plan the provincial rules for cycling infrastructure. The upcoming bike facility guidelines, referred to as Book 18, will be completed by the end of the year, thanks in large part to the efforts of city transportation planner Robert Grimwood. “It puts us in a position to provide input on implementation … It gives us a chance to be leaders,” Grimwood said. “Ottawa has very clearly been the most engaged municipality.” There are 13 municipalities participating in drafting Book 18, which for the first time will include guidelines for how to build bicycle lanes of different styles, bike signals, “crossrides” (intersection crosswalks that cyclists are allowed to bike though) and all manner of infrastructure that could be built for bikes. Book 18 won’t provide hard and fast rules, but Grimwood said the Ontario Traffic Manual, which the document will become part of, is considered the “Bible” of infrastructure planning. “It will be used,” he said.

Battle lines drawn over Ottawa’s bicycle lanes laura mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - Not unlike neighbourhoods rallying against tall buildings, there are groups who say they like bike lanes – just not here. While cyclists can argue that small changes and a few painted lines can make all the difference in getting new cyclists on the road, some counter that maybe that’s not the best idea, and maybe the lanes aren’t making them any safer. Or, perhaps the benefits to a few cyclists don’t outweigh the frustration bicycle lanes might cause for others, such as residents, businesses or motorists. Two such groups are BBRAGFAR (Bay/Bronson

Residents Action Group for Fair Access to the Road) and the Responsible Cycling Coalition (RCC). Both make it their main business to oppose the city’s two-year pilot project testing out a curb-separated bicycle lane on Laurier Avenue West. While both groups are similar in size (around five to eight people) and in their ability to garner media attention, they oppose the bike lane for very different reasons. PARKING

For some residents of Laurier Avenue West, seeing two lines of curbs bisecting the street when they look out their windows is hard to swallow. At the west end of the

street, between Lyon and Bronson, there used to be 69 parking spaces. Now there are none. The city says that section of Centretown now has more parking than before (124 spaces replaced 122), despite the removal of spaces on Laurier, because new street parking was created on adjacent streets. But that’s no comfort for many Laurier residents, who number around 2,000 in several buildings. Their concern is represented by the cumbersomely named BBRAGFAR, a small group that says there are not enough cyclists using the bike lane in their section of the street to warrant leaving the curbs up for another year of

the pilot project. “A service for which we pay taxes was taken away from us for the sake of a few cyclists,” said Norm King, one of BBRAGFAR’s five members. They want the city to keep the segregated lane farther east, but convert it into a “sharrow,” a painted shared car and bike lane, and allow parking over the sharrow markings when it’s not rush hour (Toronto is piloting that idea on College Street). There’s less traffic and therefore less risk of injury to cyclists on those blocks, so there is no need for a segregated lane – parking would be more beneficial, King says. BBRAGFAR also bemoans the lack of consultation be-

fore the lanes were put in. But King admits he did know about the handful of public meetings he could have attended to express his opinion – but he thinks the city had a responsibility to come meet directly with Laurier residents, and no one did. Seeing snow removed from the bike lanes at the same time as the rest of the street – often before sidewalks are cleared – only serves to add to their frustration, King says. There are many elderly or disabled folks residing in the area, and the alternate loading and drop off zones don’t serve them as well as the parking spaces they grew accustomed to enjoying. See BIKE, page 40

Cycling snafus

Cutting across 400-series highway on-ramps to continue straight on a road or bike lane is a daunting risk for cyclists.

Cycling lanes that disappear or appear out of nowhere, like this one in the middle of O’Connor Street, create collision potential.

Sharrow markings in lanes that aren’t wide enough for both bikes and cars, like at Laurier and Elgin, create risk.

Debris or crumbling asphalt in a bike lane or near the curb can force cyclists into the traffic lane For more or to report an issue: ottawabikingproblems.ca

Family reaches summit of Mount Washington Special to the News

EMC news - A Stittsville family has hiked up Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in the northeastern United States. Amazing. This family included two children, five year old Lucas Joly and eight year old Alexia Joly. Incredible. And the summit was

achieved on a morning with 110 kilometer per hour winds, thick clouds and weather that necessitated wearing winter hats, mittens and rain coats. Priceless. It marked the successful ending of a family challenge to hike up Mount Washington, a challenge completed

not only by youngsters Lucas and Alexia but also by mother Nadine Tremblay and father Robert Joly. While they were able to prepare themselves and their children for the adventure by hiking up local hills, although none were of the scale of Mount Washington, it was the weather over which they had no control, with Mount Washington renowned for having perhaps the worst weather in the world. The weather on Mount Washington is notoriously erratic, with high winds and lots of precipitation. Indeed, Mount Washington once held the world record for directly measured surface wind speed at 372 kilometers per hour, recorded in 1934. The family made a plan to hike up to the Lakes of Clouds hut on the mountain, stay there overnight and then climb the rest of the way in the morning. They got underway on Sunday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. and after five hours of climbing the steep Ammonoosuc Trail on the western slop of the mountain, they reached the hut, just missing forecasted storms by 20 minutes. This Lakes of Clouds hut, located on the mountain’s southern shoulder, is one of eight such huts maintained by the Appalachian Mountain Club. The Appalachian Trail crosses the mountain’s summit as the mountain sits in a

popular hiking area. After staying overnight at the hut, the Stittsville family left at 8:30 a.m. the next day and despite the winds, thick clouds and cold temperatures, reached the summit two hours later. Nadine Tremblay and Robert Joly are proud that their children achieved this Mount Washington climb, knowing that every few youngsters have managed to climb to the summit, especially five year olds like Lucas. They consider it an exceptional accomplishment. Mount Washington is the highest peak in the northeastern United States at 6,288 feet. Before European settlers arrived, the mountain was known as Agiocochook or “Home of the Great Spirit” by the native Americans in the area. The mountain is located in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. While nearly the whole mountain is in the White Mountains National Forest, the summit area is occupied by Mount Washington State Park. The Lakes of the Clouds hut on Mount Washington offers sweeping views as it is situated 5,012 feet above seat level. Built in 1915, an addition was added in 1922 and two additions were put on in 1968. The hut contains 90 bunks.

The Appalachian Mountain Club, which looks after the hut, among others, was founded in 1876 and currently has 100,000 members. Its mission

is to promote the protection, enjoyment and understanding of the mountains, forests and waters of the Appalachian region in the United States.

Drought comes with a price for everyone

Y

ear after year we are seeing less predictable weather. It’s costing the farmers dearly this year and the dry times will cost us all over the coming months and years. Adapting our actions to deal with climate change is a simpler task than adapting our lives to deal with weather that can damage our economy. The price we pay for fruits and vegetables will be the

first effect felt by consumers. If dry weather becomes the new normal, some produce may not be available at all or the season will be shorter. Because local corn and hay feeds cows but is in short supply, farmers across much of Canada and the central United States will likely be forced to sell off beef cattle. There could be a glut and prices might drop in the short term which could be followed by a spike.

Unpredictable weather may mean unpredictable beef prices. Beyond the food on our tables, there will be other, less obvious effects if dry, hot weather becomes the norm. At Pinto Valley Ranch in Fitzroy Harbour, the owners plan to sell nearly half their horses because feeding them hay at current prices isn’t possible. That will mean reduced opportunities for Ottawa kids to try riding,

which in turn will almost certainly mean fewer riders for the equestrian industry in the future. If watering bans become the new normal, backyard gardens and community allotment gardens won’t be able to provide as much food for city folk. That in turn increases demand for imported foods. If we’re forced to stop watering lawns, they will die and homeowners will have to invest in drought resistant

plants or pave the front yard. Golf courses are suffering and the cost of installing irrigation systems could be the difference between staying in business or shutting down for some course owners. The sports fields used by children and adults are in rough shape because of the dry weather. When the quality of play drops far enough, we’ll need to add the cost of resodding fields to the property tax bill. All those costs for con-

sumers pale in comparison with the trouble ahead for farmers. Some plants do well in wet weather while others can survive dry times, but what can farmers plant when the weather is completely unpredictable? If our summers are going to be extreme – dry, wet, hot or cold – we will all pay dearly. It makes investment in climate science seem like a good deal.

Protecting our most precious commodity – sleep BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse We recently had one of those Sunday afternoons where our newborn screamed as only a colicky baby can for 15 minutes. In the same quarter of an hour, my six and seven-year-old boys started wrestling to the death on their bedroom floor, the cat vomited at my feet from the humidity, just as Ottawa received its first significant rainfall in over a month and water started pouring through the living room ceiling. The aftermath was not pretty. No resilience, no problem-solving, no understanding or empathy for the poor cat. To put it simply, we all freaked out. Much of this – or at least our reactions to it – could have been prevented by a good night’s sleep the night before. Unfortunately, with a two-week-old baby on hand, my husband and I had spent the better part of midnight to 5 a.m. rocking or feeding or singing to our crying baby. We were exhausted. I decided that day that I had to take matters in hand. There would be no more five- hour overnight stretches of screaming baby. I vowed that

from 10 p.m. until 6 a.m., I would not leave my bed, and the baby would be by my side, and she would learn to respect the precious commodity of sleep in our household. Who says you can’t sleep train a newborn? At the risk of jinxing a good thing, my method has worked. Little Darling seems to sense that it’s time for bed as soon as the TV goes off, the lullabies go on, the lights go down and we put our jammies on before the last feed of the day. Granted she tends to fall asleep in my arms, me propped upright for most of the night on a collection of cushions and pillows. But you know what? We’re sleeping. We’re sleeping so well, in fact, that I often wake up in a panic because five or six hours have gone by without interruption. I check to make sure Little Darling is still breathing – she is —and then proceed to wake her for a feed. At 6 a.m. I get up, make coffee and open the curtains before waking Little Darling for the day. She doesn’t have an opportunity to cry. She wakes up slowly as I talk to her, change her, tickle her toes and take her to the daytime feeding station in the living room. The boys generally help out with the final part of the daytime announcement by banging out the White Stripes on piano or guitar and then wrestling to the death on the living room floor. It’s only been a week. And you know babies have a tendency to alter their routines just as you get used to things. At the same time, a week is a third of Little Darling’s life. And frankly, at this stage of the game, I’ll celebrate whatever sleep I can get.

Total Home Consignment offers a unique shopping experience unlike that of your run-of-the-mill furniture store. The furniture consignment store has the layout of a furniture store with 8,000 sq. ft. of spacious floor space, combined with the low prices and unique finds of a consignment store. “They love the concept and they didn’t realize there was anything like us out there,” says Richard Abrams, who owns the store with his wife Barb, of the reactions of his customers. “When they’re coming in here they’re not going to find the same old same old from furniture store to furniture store. It’s a totally different look and everything’s unique. It’s ‘one onlys’ and things that you can’t find other places.” Total Home Consignment is a great place to find unique gifts for friends and family. The furniture and home accessories are sourced from people looking to down size, estate sales, business closings, bankruptcies, and inventory liquidations. The store also gets model home furnishings from seven of Ottawa’s finest home builders. There’s no better time than now to come into the store as they’ve received truck loads of model furniture from Minto. Abrams says the store has a high standard of what furniture they will accept, which means it can be sold as is. For those on a budget,

Total Home Consignment offers sofas, bedroom sets, kitchen sets, dining room sets, patio sets, coffee and end tables, wall units, rugs, and even exercise equipment for great prices. Abrams explains that when a used product comes into the store it starts at 50 to 60 per cent of the price of what the equivalent product would sell for new. Every 15 days the price is dropped 10 per cent until the item is sold. “When the item first comes in, it’s a great deal but if you’re patient and you’re lucky more than anything else you can get an even better deal,” says Abrams. However, he cautions that this approach can result in disappointment when a piece of furniture is snapped up by another savvy customer. At Total Home Consignment you can find antiques and collectables but also brand new furniture. As Abrams put it, “there are treasures here to be found.” Total Home Consignment is located at 1860 Bank St, Uniit 4 near the corner of Bank St. and Walkley Rd. behind the Beer Store. Hours 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and now open Sundays 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Mondays).

Legion golf tournament helps Food Bank Special to the News

EMC sports - It was a little wet due to rainy conditions but the Stittsville Legion’s annual Duffers Scramble Golf Tournament on Thursday, Aug.

11 was anything but all wet when it came to helping out a local charitable enterprise. The golf tournament ended up donating $1,267.61 to the Stittsville

Food Bank. And this was not all. The Legion’s Survivors’ Club added to this, donating another $200 to the Food Bank.

THE FAMILY THAT RIDES TOGETHER, SAVES TOGETHER

The golf tournament was held again this year at the Madawaska Golf Club at Arnprior. It proved successful again thanks to the participation of the golfers,

the efforts of the volunteers and organizing committee chaired by Fred and Aileen Appel, and the numerous sponsors, including individuals, businesses and corporate donors.

Third book for author Elizabeth Radmore John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - In baseball, it’s three strikes and you’re out. For author Elizabeth Radmore of Stittsville, it’s three books and you’re out – at least as far as her adult fiction Cushla series is concerned. She has now finished the third book of the series entitled “Cushla: Almost Magic” and it’s to be the final one of this series which is autobiographic to some extent but is adult fiction, with Elizabeth adding situations and characters as the story evolves. She recently received the exciting news that the first book of the series, “Cushla: Memoirs of a Reluctant Gypsy Girl” may become a movie. There is nothing definite yet but Elizabeth says that those who read it tell her that it would make a great movie. But she already has her next ventures planned. She wants to write children’s stories and poetry, illustrating them herself as she is a talented artist. Indeed, the cover of the first book of the Cushla series featured an original painting of hers. And it’s not as if she really needs any new ventures because she is one busy and creative lady, even without her writing and art. For one thing, she has ten grandchildren, enough to

make her a busy grandmother. But she also designs and makes silk scarves. In addition, she also makes what she calls “wearable jewellery” which she sells. She describes it as jewellery which are “like little pieces of art,” combining diverse pieces of plastic and metal. In fact, she even uses a blow torch to melt the pieces together. Because she uses different pieces for each item, each piece is unique. There are “no two alike,” she says, adding that it takes her about an hour to create each piece in a process that ends when she puts it into cold water to solidify it. Elizabeth says that this “wearable jewellery” becomes a real conversation piece in groups because the jewellery is so eye-catching and people have never seen anything like it before. It sells for under $20 each. But Elizabeth is not content only to make this “wearable jewellery.” She also makes cluster pendants from beads and crystals which she connects with wire. Each one is different as she follows no plan or pattern but simply lets her creativity take over until she feels that the piece is completed. It usually takes her about an hour to make one pendant. She also makes matching earrings.

On top of all of this, Elizabeth also likes to cook. So you can see how she keeps busy but she feels that she has lots of time to do it all since her retirement two years ago. Indeed, it was time on her hands that began her writing odyssey. She had been looking after her elderly mother but when her mother died, she found that she had some extra time on her hands. That’s when she enrolled in a creative writing course which eventually led to her Cushla books. It was a writing exercise for this course that first brought out her story of how she had lived with gypsies for three months as a young girl. Her story wowed others in the course and it led to her first Cushla book, published in 2005. It is an adventure story that is both funny and poignant and indeed while it is fiction, it is based on a lot of facts from her own life. She added some characters to make the gypsy camp more colourful but much is true. “It’s my story,” Elizabeth says candidly. Originally she was going to include everything in her first book but it eventually ended up being three books due to size and story line. The second book, “Cushla: Gypsy Spirit,” is again autobiographical in nature but

John Curry photo

Elizabeth Radmore of Stittsville shows some of the “wearable art” jewellery which she makes, with each piece being a unique creation. also has characters and situations added that are fictional. It involves the story of her family’s voyage from Ireland to Canada on the Empress of Scotland and life in Canada. As in the first book, her hard working, charming father is a central figure in this book. The new book, which is being formally launched this coming Sunday, Aug. 19, includes all kinds of interesting characters and features the adventures of the heroine as she is growing up, falling in love

and getting married. There is even what Elizabeth terms a “fascinating section” of the book which deals with opal mining. You have to read it to see why. This third Cushla book, “Cushla: Almost Magic,” is also going to be an e-book. This is not the case with the first two books – at least not yet. The Cushla books are available at Chapters and Indigo book stores as well as at a few independent book stores. The

book launch this Sunday, Aug. 19 at 2 p.m. is taking place at the Collected Works book store on Wellington Street at Holland Avenue in Ottawa. The books can also be ordered via Amazon.com. You can also check out Elizabeth’s website at www. cushla-gypsyspirit.com In addition, Elizabeth herself attends quite a few craft shows and special events where she sells not only her books but also her wearable jewellery and silk scarves.

Teeth important to British soldiers John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Teeth were important to a British soldier in the early 19th century. Indeed, one of the requirements for enlistment in the army at that time was the presence of at least two teeth that lined up. What, you say? Did British soldiers need such teeth in order to bite their enemies in combat? No, not to bite them but to shoot them as the teeth were required because ammunition packets had to be torn open with teeth prior to loading a musket. So, two teeth that lined up were essential to winning wars and hence this requirement on enlistment. There was also a height requirement, at least in peacetime, in that a soldier had to be 5 feet, 6 inches tall at a minimum. Both of these requirements for the early 19th century British soldier are explained in an exhibit about the 100th Regiment of Foot, the British regiment which provided many of Goulbourn township’s soldier settlers in 1818. This exhibit is set up in the ArtSpace area at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library and will be there throughout the month of August. The exhibit features four bilingual display banners, each outlining a different aspect pertaining to the 100th Regiment of Foot, from recruitment to deployment to action in the War of 1812 to settlement in Goulbourn. This exhibit was developed by Goulbourn Museum staff and will become a Goulbourn Museum travelling exhibit following its tenure at the Stittsville library. The federal government helped with some funding for the devel-

answe the call

opment of the exhibit. One of the four banners in the exhibit features the silhouette of an early 19th century British soldier, like those of the 100th Regiment of Foot. The silhouette features markings ranging from 3 feet to 5 feet, 6 inches so that youngsters in particular can measure themselves again the silhouette and see how they measure up to the silhouetted soldier who is holding his bayoneted musket. Soldiers at that time, at least in peacetime, had to be at least 5 feet, 6 inches tall. Oh yes, and also have those two teeth that lined up. A second banner in this exhibit entitled “Call to Arms: Famine or Fight,” notes that Goulbourn township was settled initially largely by discharged members of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent’s County of Dublin Regiment, aka the 100th Regiment of Foot. The regiment, raised in Ireland in 1804, was intended for service in British North America (Canada) to protect the territory against American invasion. At this time, Ireland was suffering from recurring famines and a high unemployment rate, with many people in debt. Signing up for the British army was seen by many as a way out of this discouraging situation. Recruitment teams for the British army set up in busy places in Ireland and told splendid stories about the benefits of a career in the army. Recruits were given a King’s shilling as payment and proof of enlistment. There are stories that recruiters would resort to getting a person drunk and then slipping a shilling in his pocket in order to sign up a reluctant recruit. See EXHIBIT, page 17

Exhibit about 100th Regiment of Foot Continued from page 16

The third banner in this exhibit tells of the exploits of the 100th Regiment of Foot in defending Canada against the Americans in the War of 1812. It was on June 18, 1812 that the United States declared war on Great Britain with the intention of taking over Canada which was British territory in North America. The War of 1812 was fought mainly along the border between the United States and Canada, primarily along the Lake Ontario and Niagara frontiers. The 100th Regiment of Foot saw action at Sackets Harbour, New York, on May 29, 1813; at Isle-aux-Nios (Rouse’s Point, New York) on June 3, 1813; at the capture of Fort Niagara on Dec. 19, 1813; at Black Rock and Buffalo, New York, on Dec. 30, 1813; at the Battle of Chippawa on July 5, 1814; at the Battle of Lundy’s Lane on July 25, 1814; and at Fort Erie in Aug. 1814. The War of 1812 ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on Dec. 24, 1814, with all captured territory being returned to pre-war status. The fourth banner in this exhibit tells how Goulbourn was part of a second line of defense set up by the British after the War of 1812. A first line of defense was

http://www.kanatachamber.com

established along the St. Lawrence River but this second line of defense involved the establishment of several military settlements back from the river to provide extra security

in case of another American invasion. The military settlements of Perth in 1816, Richmond in 1818 and Lanark in 1820 were established as part of this sec-

ond line of defense. These military settlements were populated by soldiers who took the government’s offer of free land grants instead of returning home to Ireland

where there was a struggling economy and chronic unemployment. These soldier settlers received the following basic tools and supplies with their

land: one year’s worth of rations; seed to plant an initial crop; an axe, broad axe, pickaxe, draw knife and mattock; a spade, shovel, hammer, hand saw and two files; a scythe for mowing fields along with two scythe stones for sharpening its blade; 12 panes of glass, 12 pounds of nails and one pound of putty; and a camp kettle, bedtick (a cloth bag used for carrying bedding materials) and blanket. A number of these new settlers did not adapt well to farming and dispensed of their land and moved on. Those who persevered found life challenging, with an extreme climate and land that was covered with bush or swamp. These settlers had to clear the land, build homes and plant crops in order to fulfill their settlement obligations and take official possession of their property. This exhibit at the library also includes a copy of Belden’s Atlas of Carleton County of 1879, opened to the map showing Goulbourn township and its property owners at that time. This copy of Belden’s Atlas is in the display case that is adjacent to the ArtSpace area at the Stittsville library. This ArtSpace area can be found in the back right of the library.

Mercedes-Benz Club visits Jabulani Winery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was Mercedes–Benz time at Jabulani Vineyard and Winery last Saturday, Aug. 11. Members of the Mercedes-Benz Club of Ottawa paid a visit to the winery located on Jock Trail in Goulbourn west of Richmond, arriving in a total of 11 Mercedes-Benz vehicles, They ranged from a 1974 240D model owned by Mel and Michelle Roy to a 2009 B Class, 200 Turbo model owned by Glen and Kris McDougall. Club president John Fisher’s 2003 Mercedes-Benz features a hand-crafted high precision engine bearing the name of the single technician who built the engine at the factory – Sergie Dorn. It is this attention to quality and performance that has made Mercedes-Benz

one of the best known and established automotive brands in the word. At Jabulani Vineyard and Winery, the Mercedes-Benz Club members were given a tour of the vineyard by owner Tom Moul, followed by an explanation of wine making and then a period of wine tasting. He explained about the cold climate vines developed at the University of Minnesota which have allowed a vineyard like Jabulani to be established in this area. On a warm July day, grape vines can grow up to four inches. In addition, they are what Mr. Moul describes as survivors, more robust than weeds, with roots known to go down eight to ten feet into the soil. Mr. Moul, who has been making wine since he was 14 years of age, explained how the vines are planted, with a wire strung along the

top between posts that are located between every eight plants. Fibreglass stakes are used to give each vine more support. Jabulani planted its first vines in 2007, with last year being the winery’s first year for sales. There are 11 acres of vines planted on the 38 acre site. The rows of vines are planted on an angle in the fields so that they can benefit the most from the position of the sun when they are ripening in August. Jabulani prunes its vines in snowy February. The grapes are picked in September and then run through a crusher which can process two tones of grapes an hour. This breaks the skin off the grapes so that their juice comes out, much like when grapes were crushed by feet. This is then followed by stabilizing the juice and then the fermentation process. The wine eventually ends up in oak barrels where it stays for any-

where from 7 to 18 months for aging. The wine is then bottled and sold to customers. The barrels, which cost $1,000 each, have a life cycle of six years for winemaking. They are used for two years for white wine and then a year for red wine before they are sent to a Niagara business which disassembles them, cuts off one-eighth of the inch of interior wood and then reassembled them, shopping them back to Jabulani where they can be used for another three years. This costs $275 per barrel to do. One barrel, which holds 225 litres of wine, fills 300 bottles of wine. This means that one barrel, in its six year lifetime, can produce 1800 bottles of wine. Last year, in Jabulani’s first year of sales, 8,000 bottles of wine were sold. This year about 19,000 bottles are available for sale, with sales already over the total from the year before.

August 13th, 2012 West Nile Virus is Here: Protect Yourself Ottawa Public Health (OPH) is reminding residents to take necessary precautions when going outdoors as tests have confirmed that the West Nile Virus (WNV) is present in the mosquito population again this year. West Nile Virus is an infection spread by mosquitoes that – in a small number of cases – can cause serious illness. Most people will show no symptoms if infected with WNV, but some individuals – particularly the elderly or those with weakened immune systems – may experience flu like symptoms. Residents are urged to do their part in protecting themselves and their families from mosquito bites by: r 3FEVDJOH TUBOEJOH XBUFS TJUFT BSPVOE ZPVS IPNF r "QQMZJOH BO BQQSPWFE NPTRVJUP SFQFMMFOU UP FYQPTFE TLJO BOE clothing r "WPJEJOH UIF IPVST CFUXFFO EBXO BOE EVTL XIFO NPTRVJUPFT BSF most active r 8FBSJOH MJHIU DPMPVSFE BOE UJHIUMZ XPWFO DMPUIJOH TVDI BT MPOH QBOUT B MPOH TMFFWFE TIJSU TIPFT BOE TPDLT UP QSPUFDU FYQPTFE TLJO r .BLJOH TVSF BMM XJOEPXT BOE EPPST JO ZPVS IPNF IBWF TDSFFOT UIBU BSF in good condition John Curry photo

Munster Union Cemetery memorial service john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The annual memorial service of the Munster Union Cemetery is coming up. It will be taking place on Sunday, Aug. 26 at 2:30 p.m. at the Munster United Church in Munster. This annual Munster Union Cemetery memorial service can be traced back to 1935 when the first so-called Decoration Day Service was held at the Munster Union Cemetery under the auspices of the Loyal Orange Lodge No. 97 of Munster. This Decoration Day Service continued for some years but in more recent times has been replaced by this annual memorial service held under the auspices of the cemetery’s Board of Trustees

in the nearby Munster United Church. Munster Union Cemetery itself goes back to 1886 when Thomas Tubman and his wife, the former Isabella Hill, provided two acres of land as the site for the cemetery. Mr. Tubman, who was Munster’s first postmaster and also served as a school trustee and Justice of the Peace, believed that the community should have a non-denominational cemetery to meet the needs of those for whom burial in a church cemetery was not preferred or possible. As such, the Munster Union Cemetery Company Incorporated was formed. This Munster Union Cemetery Company Incorporated looked after the cemetery from its inception to 1942 when the operation of the

cemetery was turned over to a Board of Trustees for one dollar by Mac Tubman. This was the result of a 1940 meeting of plot owners who selected the Board of Trustees to run the company. The original two acre cemetery site has been added to in recent years. In 1980, a parcel of land was obtained along the south side of the original cemetery site. In 2002, a parcel of land was acquired which extended the cemetery lands west to the Munster Road. This was only on the south side of the access road into the cemetery off Munster Road. This land acquisition was followed by the cemetery getting ownership of the land on the north side of the access road thanks to a donation by Ronald and Patricia Potter

which was made in memory of Charles Harry Potter and Irene Marcellus Hobbs, the parents of Ronald Potter. Acquiring all of the land between the cemetery and Munster Road allowed the Board of Trustees to proceed with a project involving the placing of a fence with engraved granite fence posts along the frontage, with each post donated by a person or persons with family ties to the Munster Union Cemetery. Stone gates at the entrance to the access road off Munster Road leading into the cemetery were donated by Loyal Orange Lodge No. 97 of Munster. Two new limestone posts were erected in 2009 at the

EMC news - It’s time to start thinking about the annual Richmond Fair. If you are going to attend this annual spectacle which goes along McBean Street from South Carleton High School and then moves along Perth Street in front of the fairgrounds, there is no much to do other than jot down the date and time – Saturday, Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. But if you are planning to have a float or entry in this year’s parade, you have to start thinking about what it is going to look like. Saturday, Sept. 15 is not that far away now.

Businesses, churches, organizations and even individuals are all welcome to participate with a float in the parade. Thousands line the streets to see the parade, so it is great exposure for all the participants. And it’s also great fun – going along the parade route, waving to folks and just having a good time.

Knights are champs Special to the News

EMC sports - The Nepean Knights tykes, a team with a six player Stittsville connection, are provincial champions. The team won the provincial “Bâ€? level provincial championship at the recent Ontario championships in Durham Region. This was the ďŹ rst time that a Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse Association team has won a tyke level provincial championship. Tyke players are seven and eight years old. Stittsville players on this Nepean Knights championship tyke team are goalie Thomas Kiazyk and players Liam MacLeod, Cole Bowditch, John Hertner, Colin McKinnon and

Owen Tasse. Jason Tasse of Stittsville is a coach with the team. Trainer Mark Bowditch and manager Lisa MacLeod are also both from Stittsville. The Knights won six straight games in the provincial championships to capture the title. Three straight victories in the pool stage of the tournament got the Knights into the playoff elimination round. Pool stage victories were 103 over Uxbridge, 20-3 over Windsor and 12-2 over Owen Sound. In quarter-ďŹ nal play, the Knights defeated Sarnia 9-4, followed by an 8-4 win over Burlington Chiefs. This was the team that knocked Nepean

out of the provincials the year before. The championship ďŹ nal was against the Mississauga Tomahawks, a team which had defeated the Knights twice at the Gloucester tournament in early July. The Knights came up big, winning 6-3 and claiming the provincial championship banner. In this provincial championship, Liam Aston had 14 goals and 8 assists for 22 points for the Knights. Willem Firth added 8 goals and 13 assists for 21 points while Charlie Gollob had 10 goals and 8 assists for 18 points. This offensive production was backed by an overall team effort along with strong goaltending by Thomas Kiaryk.

“We played very tough team defence,� said head coach Matt Firth. “Every player checked hard and kept our opponents from getting good looks at the net.� This defense was augmented by a team effort in battling for loose balls, passing well, accurate shooting and running “like mad,� coach Firth noted. “The players did all the little things right and showed great heart and determina-

tion to get the job done,� said coach Firth. This provincial championship capped off a great season for the Nepean Knights tykes, with the team compiling a record of 29 wins, 4 losses and 1 tie while winning three tournaments as well as the provincial title. The tyke championships are part of the annual lacrosse festival run by the Ontario Lacrosse Association and the

Canadian Lacrosse Association. It is one of the largest amateur sporting events in Canada, with championships awarded in various levels from tyke through to intermediate (ages 17-19) as well as girls’ box and ďŹ eld lacrosse championships and boys’ national championships at the peewee, bantam and midget levels. In total, the event attracted 557 teams and 11,028 players this year.

War dead remembered at Sackets Harbor tribute Special to the News

A regimental piper played a lament as Americans and Canadians joined in honouring the memory of Crown Forces soldiers who died on May 29, 1813 during the Battle of Sackets Harbor as war dead from Goulbourn’s 100th Prince Regent’s Regiment of Foot were remembered in an international tribute in Sackets Harbor, a Lake Ontario town in New York State. The memorial service on Saturday, Aug. 4 was spearheaded by the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site; the Sackets Harbor Battlefield Alliance Inc. and the community of Sackets Harbor. Military re-enactors, regular armed forces and civilian representatives from Canada and the United States also held a ground-breaking ceremony to mark commencement of the construction of a granite monument and individual soldier’s stones to honour the sacrifices of the Crown Forces killed in the War of 1812 battle. “Our nation should be cautious about glorifying war, but we should always be sure to remember who fought on this ground,” said U.S. Army Col. Walter E. Piatt. Lt.-Col. Rob Duda, commanding officer of the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, read aloud each name of those 49 Canadian and British soldiers who were

killed in the raid and buried in an unknown cemetery near the battlefield. Grenadiers of Goulbourn’s 100th Regiment had participated in the attack on the American shipbuilding yards and army forts. The 100th soldiers killed in action included Sgt. William McGarry, Pte. John Carvin, Pte. James Murphy, Michael O’Brian, Pte. Michael Quinn and Pte. John Short. Goulbourn Museum sent Board member Kurt Johnson as its representative at the event while William Sinka represented the Friends of the 100th, a proposed living history re-enactors group. For the U.S. forces in 1813, the Sackets Harbor raid was “a very hotly contested action with our gallant troops,” repulsing the attacking Crown Forces, according to Master Commandant James Leonard. For the British forces, aside from being forced into a tactical retreat, they did capture 154 prisoners of war who were paraded through Kingston and they did destroy vital military materials, hampering U.S. naval operations. The British commander, Col. Edward Baynes, filed the official 1813 report citing the 100th grenadiers for “undaunted gallantry” on the raid. He wrote: “Captain (George Thew) Burke avail(ed) himself of the ample field afforded him in leading the advance to

display the intrepidity of the British Grenadiers… ” Capt. Burke became the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818. Like the other regiments, many of the 100th were wounded or taken prisoners and six were killed in action. Lt. Maurice Nowlan wrote to his wife that he survived the battle “which certainly is a miracle as we lost the half of our company in killed and wounded.” Other regiments in the 1813 battle had included 1st (Royal Scots) Regiment, 8th (The King’s) Regiment, 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment, Glengarry Light Infantry, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, Voltigeurs Canadiens, Nova Scotia Fencibles and Royal Navy.

Goulburn Lanes was hotbed of bowling John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

R0011559851_0816

EMC news - For 20 years in the 1950’s and 1960’s, Stittsville bowlers ruled the lanes in the Ottawa Valley. This was due to the existence of the Goulburn Bowling Lanes in Stittsville, which not only was a hotbed of bowling during their 22 year lifetime but also was very much the hub of village life. The Goulburn Bowling Lanes operated from 1948 to 1970 in a building which stood on a site on the east side of Stittsville Main Street be-

tween the Wintergreen Drive entrance to the Wyldewood subdivision and the Frederick Banting Alternate School, formerly the Stittsville Public School. It was in the spring of 1948 that Denzil Graham and two co-workers at the Department of Agriculture, Rod MacVicar and Angus McLennan, got the idea to build a bowling alley in Stittsville. It must be remembered that in 1948, Stittsville was a much different place than it is today. It was much smaller, with a population of around 500, as this was before

the post war building boom which hit the community in the 1950’s. It was also, in real terms, farther removed from Ottawa with no Queensway, just old highway 15 winding its way through Bells Corners and Hazeldean on its way through Stittsville and beyond to Ashton. The new highway seven bypassing Stittsville was still a decade away. But Stittsville’s rural location did not deter Denzil, Rod and Angus as they picked what they thought was a suitable site, namely two acres of land fronting on highway 15 which

was Stittsville’s Main Street as well. They purchased the land from the late Rock McCurdy for $300. Mr. McCurdy owned all of the land which is now the Wyldewood subdivision, using it as farm pasture. The McCurdy farmstead itself was located where the Iber Road business park now exists. From this original two acre site, half an acre was severed and purchased by Denzil Graham for $75. This is where he built a home in which he lived for decades and which is still standing, now used by a mort-

gage firm. The building housing the bowling alleys was constructed by the late Orville Parks who lived just across the street in the home at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Alexander Street now housing a law firm. Mr. Parks’ helper on the project was Sterling Graham, Denzil’s brother. Right from the very start, the bowling alley was a success. The Goulburn (it was intentionally spelled different from the Goulbourn township name to avoid any concerns regarding the use of the municipality’s name) Bowling Lanes had 17 leagues play on its alleys. With 24 players in each league, this meant that at least 548 bowlers used the alleys every week. In 1957, Fred Drake and Denzil Graham bought out Rod MacVicar and Angus McLennan. They then ran the business as a half and half ownership for six months, as which time the property and business were bought in full by Denzil Graham. It stayed this way until Denzil sold the property to Ken MacTavish in October, 1970. This sale marked the end of the bowling lanes in Stittsville and Mr. MacTavish developed the property as the Kiltie MacTavish Furniture Warehouse, an enterprise which flourished for about a decade. The premises, which no longer exist on the site, then became the home of restaurants such as Rocky’s Roadhouse Restaurant and Moonlighters. The bowling leagues which used the Goulburn Bowling Lanes included the Stittsville Ladies’ League on Wednesday afternoons, two leagues every night of the week from Monday to Saturday, a Sunday night league, a Saturday morning children’s league and Peewee, Bantam and Midget bowling leagues, coached most of the time by George McCoy. There was tournament bowling on Saturday and Sunday afternoons including 25 game tournaments in one day. George Graham won a 25 game, one day tournament with an average score of 276. This was an example of the exceptional bowling which took place at the Goulburn Bowling Lanes. It was this type of outstanding bowling by a host of bowlers that made Stittsville the leading community in Ottawa Valley bowling in the 1950’s

and 1960’s. The Goulburn Bowling Lanes played in the Lower Ottawa Valley Tournament for a number of years and won every year except for one. Teams in this tournament included North Gower, Manotick, Winchester, Newington, the Department of Agriculture, Richmond and Stittsville. The Goulburn Bowling Lanes had similar success in the Upper Ottawa Valley Tournament which had teams from Smiths Falls, Carleton Place, Almonte, Arnprior, Renfrew and Stittsville. Stittsville boasted a host of really good bowlers during the years of operation of the Goulburn Bowling Lanes. Some of these top bowlers included George Graham, Pete Graham, Rodney Parks, Weldy Parks, Doug Whitfield, Barry Graham, Ray Hobin, Bill Bradley, Bruce Knox, Glen Scott, George McCoy, Merv Graham, Bert Gordon, Sonny Foster, Bob Lewis, Sterling Trimble, Bob Laviolette, Sterling Graham, Lloyd Maguire, Ronnie Martin, Ed Cordukes, Everett Neill, Bob Barnett, Ernie Rothwell, MacLoucks, Bud Haw, Fred Drake and Ray McCaffrey. Top lady bowlers included Lorraine McKay, Marguerite Scott, Helen Knox, Lil Graham, Phyllis Smith, Beryl Parks, Audrey Foster, Joy Macdonnell, Dot McCaffrey, Doreen Seabrook, Jean Patterson, Edna Hunt, Doreen Kelso, Mildred Rothwell, Helen Rattray, Lil Neill and Claire Bradley. While these are not complete lists by any means of the numerous avid and good bowlers that played at the Goulburn Bowling Lanes, they are meant to show that the Goulburn Bowling Lanes did boast a wide array of fine bowlers and was a hotbed of top bowling in the Ottawa Valley. Part of the reason for the outstanding success of the Goulburn Bowling Lanes was that it was more than just bowling alley. It was the “place to go�, the virtual “community centre� in the years before the construction of the Stittsville arena. Bowling caught on with the residents of the community with the construction of the alleys and bowling came to be a major pastime in the community.

HISTORY

Bowling alley was village gathering spot Continued from page 25

George McCoy, for instance, had never bowled until the Goulburn Bowling Lanes opened but then he bowled continuously until two nights before his death at the age of 76. Bert Spratt, with the Richmond Married Couples’ League, bowled at the Goulbourn Bowling Lanes for the whole 22 years that the bowling lanes operated in Stittsville. Indeed, the Richmond Married Couples’ League insisted on bowling one night after the sale of the property

in October, 1970. This made it 23 seasons of bowling on the lanes for Bert Spratt. Indeed, when Denzil Graham sold the property to Ken MacTavish in October, 1970, it was still a going concern as a bowling alley. He had signed contracts from all of the regular bowling leagues for the upcoming season. But he opted instead to sell the property and wind up the bowling operation. The alleys themselves were removed and sold to the North Gower Recreation Association for use in the North Gower bowling alleys.

Brunswick Pinsetters had been installed at the Goulburn Bowling Lanes in February, 1957 and these were used for a number of years. But then the alleys returned to the use of pin boys, just as it had had in its early years. The original pin boys at the Goulburn Bowling Lanes were Sid Bradley, George Spearman, Keith Paul, Pete Graham, George Graham and Neil Porteous. Norman McCaffrey, reeve of Goulbourn township at the time, cut the ribbon and rolled

the first ball down the alley on opening night in 1948. He got a strike with the ball, certainly a precursor of the many strikes to come on these alleys from the village’s many outstanding bowlers. Orville Parks, who built the building, rolled the second ball down the alley on that opening night. He got a spare with the ball even though it was the first time that he had ever rolled a bowling ball down an alley. The Goulburn Bowling Lanes had a snack bar in the

front of the building which seated 25 people. When the alleys opened in 1948, this was the only place where a person could get a coffee from Stittsville into Bells Corners. For most of the 22 years of operation of the bowling alleys, this snack bar was the only eating spot in Stittsville. As a result, it was a real gathering spot, as people would drop in for a coffee or a snack and watch the bowling, with lots of kidding and fun taking place. Lil Graham, Denzil’s wife,

managed the snack bar for a number of years. Among those who worked with Lil in the snack bar were Marion Colpitts, Jean Thomas, Gwen Acres and Carmel Devaney. During the last few years when the bowling alleys operated, the snack bar was operated by Marnie Roesler. The Goulbourn Bowling Lanes did have gas pumps outside for a number of years when Main Street was highway 15 and the main route between Ottawa and Carleton Place.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville has been at its current location in Stittsville since 1956. It was on April 29, 1956 that the church currently in use at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street going into Alexander Grove and the Stittsville arena was dedicated. But the history of the congregation goes back far longer than this as the Presbyterian congregation in this area was established in the very earliest days of settlement, making it one of the first church communities in the area. Although no Presbyterian church as such existed in Stittsville prior to 1875, Presbyterian adherents in the early days were part of the Presbyterian congregation which worshipped at Huntley, six miles north of Stittsville on what is now the Carp Road. This had been a Presbyterian worship location since the very first Presbyterian preachers had traveled in this area in the 1820’s. A Presbyterian

Church, in fact, had been built at Huntley sometime in the 1840’s under the guidance of Rev. David Evans who served both the Huntley and Richmond charges. Rev. William Bell, a Presbyterian minister provided to the Perth settlement in 1817, had held the first Presbyterian service in Richmond in 1822. It was Rev. Andrew Glen who was the first resident Presbyterian minister in Richmond, probably settling there in 1823. Mr. Glen, besides serving Richmond, took responsibility for Presbyterian congregations in Huntley and Torbolton. Just traveling to these far flung and remote areas in the 1820’s, either in summer or winter, was a challenging task. It was on one of his trips to Torbolton in 1826 on which Mr. Glen contracted a cold, subsequently dying at Richmond on April 16, 1826. Mr. Glen’s sudden death left not only Richmond but also the Huntley and Torbolton congregations without a minister. For more than the next decades, these congregations were dependent on ministers who made missionary

tours through the area. On these tours, a minister, such as Rev. Bell of Perth, would preach at locations such as Richmond, Merrickville, Smiths Falls, North Gower, Burritt’s Rapids, Osgoode, Beckwith, Ashton, Prospect, Shillington, Huntley, Lowry (in Fitzroy), Arnprior, Fitzroy Harbour and Merivale. The Presbyterian officials of the Brockville Presbytery in the 1830’s were aware of the great need for Presbyterian missionaries in this area as a way of keeping Presbyterian adherents in the fold. The Methodists, for instance, sent circuit riders into the Carleton settlements and unless the Presbyterians could supply ministers, even iternant ones, there was the ever-present danger of losing those who were Presbyterians on their arrival in the area to other faiths. This is why settled ministers, such as Mr. Bell from Perth, made missionary tours through the area. In this way, they were able to provide at least a trace of Presbyterian ministry to the adherents of that faith.

One of Rev. Bell’s stops, as detailed in his journals, was on occasion the Huntley congregation, centred 12 miles north of Richmond and six miles north of the future Stittsville. The congregation met in a school house, numbering up to 100 people when Mr. Bell visited. He would preach and baptize any children who were prepared for it. This was where Stittsville area Presbyterians would worship in these early years. Rev. Thomas Wilson, a minister at Perth, was another whose missionary tours of the area included the Huntley congregation where he preached in a school house on what is now the Carp Road. In 1842, a Presbyterian minister was inducated for the Richmond charge which included not only Richmond but also Huntley, North Huntley, North Gower and Kars. He preached at Richmond and at Huntley every Sunday. Both places had church buildings by 1845 although both were in somewhat unfinished states. The Richmond and Hunt-

ley congregations separated in 1853, with Rev. James Sinclair being inducted as the minister at Huntley in October, 1855, to serve both the Huntley and Lowry congregations. A church was built at Lowry in 1856. The Huntley Presbyterian church burned in the Carleton County fire of 1870, resulting in a new church being built not at Huntley but at Old Stittsville (formerly Stitt’s Corners). The church construction had begun in 1872 and was completed by 1875, with Rev. Mr. Sinclair still serving as the minister. It is perhaps significant that the location of the new church was in Old Stittsville, with the church not being rebuilt at its former location at Huntley on the Carp Road north of Old Stittsville. This would seem to indicate that Stittsville area residents had become a majority influence in the congregation at this church, with the new church being built nearer to the greatest number of congregation members. During the interval between the 1870 destruction of the

Carp Road church at Huntley and the completion of the new church at Old Stittsville in 1875, Presbyterian services were conducted at the rebuilt Orange Hall at Old Stittsville. The heads of families in the Presbyterian congregation at the time of the building of the Presbyterian Church at Old Stittsville included William Black, Alexander Gow, James Watt, John Hartin, James Hartin, David Hartin, Andrew Graham, David Alexander, John Stitt, Henry Walker, James Alexander, William McCurdy and William Patton. William Black, James Watt and James Hartin were the congregation’s elders. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at Old Stittsville became a joint charge with the Presbyterian Church in Richmond in 1876. This union lasted until 1888 when the new St. John’s Presbyterian Church at Fallowfield (built in 1885) and the new St. Thomas (Jock) Presbyterian Church near Munster (built in 1887) were added to the Richmond charge.

St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street in Stittsville was built in 1955, replacing an earlier church on Carp Road.

Presbyterian Church in Stittsville Continued from page 28

The Stittsville congregation dropped out of this expanded charge, becoming a Mission Charge and then joining with the Presbyterian Church at Bells Corners, an arrangement which lasted until Church Union in 1925. At this time of Church Union, the congregations of Bells Corners, Fallowfield and the Jock Presbyterian Church joined the new United Church of Canada. The remaining Stittsville and Richmond Presbyterian Church congregations once more became a joint charge, an association that continued until 1990 when the two churches became separate charges. With postwar growth in Stittsville, it was decided in the early 1950’s that the church at Old Stittsville was becoming too small to meet the needs of the growing congregation in an expanding community. As a result, land was purchased from Mrs. Leslie Black, a parcel off the farm of her father, the late Andrew Alexander. The site had frontage on Stittsville Main Street in front of Alexander Grove. The sod for the new St. Andrew’s Presbyte-

COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER

rian Church was burned by Alexander Boyd on May 22, 1955, with the church’s cornerstone being laid by Senator Carine Wilson on October 30, 1955. On April 22, 1956, the last service was conducted in the old church at Old Stittsville. The new church was dedicated on April 29, 1956. The old church building was transformed into an apartment building. It is still standing at what is now the corner of the Carp Road and Hobin Street at the entrance to the Crossing Bridge Estates subdivision in Stittsville. Special events held on the weekend of May 5-7, 2006 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the current St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church included a Friday evening MusicFest featuring music director Blaine Sack and the church choir, a Saturday afternoon open house at the church and a Sunday morning worship service featuring a sermon by Rev. Diarmud O’Hara, son of the late Rev. Frank O’Hara, the congregation’s first minister in the current church. Rev. O’Hara served as the minister of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville from 1950 through to 1957.

John Curry

Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show ran from Tuesday, Sept. 27 through to Saturday, Oct. 1, all centred on the farm site then owned by Garnet Ralph which stretched from Richmond Road through to the newly opened up Eagleson Road. It was a most successful event thanks to five days of virtually ideal weather. No rain fell with the first four days being sunny fall days with clear blue skies and temperatures in the 70’s Celsius. The final day, Saturday, Oct. 1, saw cloudy skies but the temperature was pleasant and

When the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association holds its annual plowing match on Brophy Road near Moodie Drive between Richmond and Manotick this year, the site will be not that far away from the site of the 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show at Twin Elm near Richmond. This year’s Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association plowing match and rural celebration will be held on Friday, Aug. 24 and Saturday, Aug. 25. The 1983 International

no rain fell. The cloudy conditions sure did not keep the crowds away, as 40,000 people attended the event on this final, albeit cloudy, day. This brought the overall attendance for the five day event to 142,000. There were over 600 exhibitors at the event, spread out over 100 acres in a “tented city”. A total of 200 plowmen competed in the various plowing competitions. The plowing, as in all plowing competitions including the upcoming plowing match this year,

was judged for straightness, firmness, evenness, depth, shape and uniformity. A good plowed furrow must be straight with a smooth trough and clean, even sides. This event, which was the 70th annual International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery show, was officially opened on Tuesday, Sept. 27 by federal Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Eugene Whelan. He rode in an old-fashioned roaster in the opening day parade which toured around the tented city, taking 25 minutes to pass any point in the parade

route. There was also another parade on the site on the Saturday, Oct. 1, with more marching bands and floats taking part. Among the other special guests at the official opening were Ontario Minister of Agriculture Dennis Timbrell, Nepean-Carleton MP Walter Baker, Carleton-Grenville MPP Norm Sterling, OttawaCarleton regional chair Andy Haydon, Preston Ralph who was chair of the Ottawa-Carleton organizing committee and host farmer Garnet Ralph. The International Plowing Match even had a temporary airstrip set up on the adjoining farm of Al and Mary Munro. On opening day, a total of 23 planes landed at this airstrip. Lori-Ann Shibish of Alliston, Simcoe County’s Queen of the Furrow, was chosen as the Ontario Queen of the Furrow at the 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show, winning out over 32 other competitors. One of these was Heather Mowat of Fallowfield who was Ottawa-Carleton’s Queen of the Furrow. This 1983 International Plowing Match was the first one in the Match’s 70 year history up to that point that a special postmark was developed for the event by Canada Post Corporation.

keep the crowd numbers down to about 150, few raindrops actually fell, replaced instead by a constant outpouring of the lyrics and rhythmic sounds of hits from the 50’s and 60’s coming from the stage. The quartet, looking the part with their turquoise guitars, their pink jackets, their slicked back hair and their black and white shoes and acting the part with their rhythmic guitar movements and leg kicks in unison, started their show off with a bang with the 1957 Elvis Presley hit “All Shook Up,” transitioning right into “At the Hop,” the 1957 hit by the doo-wop quartet Danny and the Juniors, a group perhaps better known for its later hit “Twistin’ USA.” After another Elvis hit, the 1956 charter-topper “Don’t Be Cruel,” it was onto such rock ‘n roll standards as “California Sun,” made famous by The Rivieras in 1964; “Runaway” by Del Shannon in 1961; Dion’s “Runaround Sue,” also from 1961; and even the odd “Love Potion No. 9” (is there a No. 10?), originally done by The Clovers in 1959. And the songs just kept coming – “Stuck on You,” a

1960 hit for Elvis; Bobby Darin’s 1961 hit “Splish Splash,” Carl Perkins’ 1955 hit “Blue Suede Shoes,” and who could forget “Wooly Bully,” that 1965 hit by the novelty rock ‘n roll band Sam Sham and the Pharaohs. You gotta like the name. Eddy and the Stingrays toured with Chubby Checker back in 1988 and so you had to expect a Chubby Checker tune or two in the concert and that’s just what happened. There was “Let’s Do the Twist” and “Let’s Twist Again Like We Did Last Summer.” And while the cool temperature and overcast skies that evening were far removed from the sunny, warm background associated with surfing music, Eddy and the Stingrays brought the surfing scene to Village Square with several Beach Boys songs – a 1965 medley of “Barbara Ann,” “Help Me Rhonda,” and “California Girls.” They followed this up a little later in the show with “409” from 1962, “Little Deuce Coupe” from 1963 and “Surfin’ USA,” also from 1963. Drummer Tommy Schnare led the singing on Dion’s

1962 hit “The Wanderer,” while other hits sung by the group included Van Morrison’s “My Brown Eyed Girl,” the Beatles’ “I Saw her Standing There,” and “California Dreaming,” that 1965 hit by The Mamas and the Papas. Eddy and the Stingrays even came back for several minutes of encore music following the hour and a half long concert. This was the second in a series of three free Thursday evening concerts in the park at Village Square Park. It is the fifth year that this concert in the park series has been offered in Stittsville thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management. Stittsville’s youth connexion program held a BBQ prior to the concert while donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) were collected at the concert. Over $270 was collected for CHEO at this concert. Eddy and the Stingrays are now into their 33rd year of performing. The group has put out four CD’s since 1980 and has a new CD in the works, featuring all doo-wop music.

NEWS 2012 Ottawa-Carleton Plowing Match Two years ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Ottawa-Carleton Plowing Match, held at the Smith farm along Eagleson Road. Last year, the event was held in Sarsfield and I’m pleased to inform you that Rideau-Goulbourn is host, yet again, to the Ottawa-Carleton Plowing Match. The 2012 edition of the matches will be hosted at the Brophy farm on Brophy Drive (County Road 8) between Moodie Drive and Twin Elm Road. The matches take place August 24-25 with events throughout both days. I’m happy to invite everyone out to the annual VIP plowing on Friday, August 24th at Noon. The VIP plowing typically features an array of local celebrities and politicians trying their hand at some of the more retired methods of plowing. On August 25, come on out and see the Horse & Antique Plowing Competition as well as the Queen of the Furrow. Adding a little local flavour, you may be interested to know that the Ottawa-Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s roots go all the way back to 1919 and the formation of the Marlborough and North Gower Plowmen’s Association. I hope to see you out at the Brophy Farm on the 24th and 25th!

Burn Ban Lifted On June 28th, Ottawa Fire Services announced that all areas within the City of Ottawa were under an outdoor burn ban. I mentioned this in my column last week and as luck would have it, it started raining as soon as my column hit newsstands thus making my column “old news”. Clearly, I should have written about it sooner. The burn ban was lifted on Friday, August 10. Ottawa Fire Services is also reminding residents that they need to obtain a burn permit prior to any outdoor burning and also to continue using caution with any open air fires.

Boat Races Family Activity Day Come take advantage of the summer weather before it’s gone! Kids will have a blast at the Goulbourn Museum with home-made boat crafts and boat races. Only $3 per child, come prepared for both indoor and outdoor fun. The Boat Races Family Activity day is on Sunday, August 19 from 1-4 at the Goulbourn Museum and is designed for children ages 4 to 12. Parental accompaniment is required.

EMC news - The Goulbourn Rockets are ready to really take off this fall. The Rockets is the team name for the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association which started last year, attracting 26 young girls hockey enthusiasts, and which hopes to double its numbers for the upcoming 2012-2013 season. Registration is now open with all information on the Association’s website at www. ggha.ca Besides this open online registration, the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association is holding a couple of registration sessions in the community before the start of the season. One will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 22 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in the upstairs room at Sobeys in Stittsville.

Another will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 29 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the lobby at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. In addition, the Association is planning a two-hour open house Fun Day on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 4:30 p.m. at the new rink at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex where anyone interested can try out girls hockey and see what it’s like. Come and skate with the Rocket players and coaches and have some fun. Everyone is welcome. Registrations will also be taken at this event. The Association will begin its 2012-2013 season on the next Saturday, Sept. 15 when on-ice sessions will begin. This year the Association has secured two hours of ice time every Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the new

rink at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. In addition, the Association will be renting ice elsewhere, such as at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in midweek, so that all of the girls involved will have two hours of ice time a week consisting of a game each week and a practice session each week. League play in the Metro Ottawa Girls Hockey League will get underway in mid-October, with the Rockets playing against teams from Ottawa and Gloucester. This season the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association hopes to ice teams at the Initiation level (ages 4-8), the Novice level (ages 9-10), the Atom level (ages 11-12) and the Peewee level (ages 1314). Right now the Association is purchasing more Rockets jerseys for the additional

players that it expects will be Rockets in the coming season. The Association is also pursuing more sponsors and will be doing some fundraising as well. But Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association president Cathy Bureau makes it clear that while the Association will be icing teams in a league this year, the main focus will still be on player development as it was last season. Besides players, the Association is also looking for any adults who would like to volunteer as coaches or trainers with the Association. Anyone interested in helping out in any way should contact Cathy Bureau through the website. Cost for being a Goulbourn Rocket this coming season will be $500 for Initiation level and $625 for all other age categories.

Bike lanes pit cyclists against cyclists ... and drivers Continued from page 5

It’s difficult for people with mobility concerns to cross over the barriers in the middle of the street, King added. “The use of bicycles isn’t the issue,” King said. “We just don’t want to have the front of our buildings blockaded for no reason.” “Our chair has a bike,” King adds, referring to Janine Hutt, the head of BBRAGFAR. VEHICULAR CYCLISTS

For Kanata resident Avery Burdett, there’s a big risk in encouraging inexperienced cyclists to get on the road by offering them a false sense of security in a bike lane – a mirage that’s heightened on Laurier because of the curb separating cyclists from vehicles. Burdett is a founding member of the RCC, and for him, driving (and he is careful to use that word) a bicycle is a simple and time-tested process – it’s just not one that most people bother to educate themselves about. And it’s not a skill that most people are encouraged to learn, he says. He’s what’s referred to as a vehicular cyclist, and following the principles set out by John Forester in Effective Cycling in 1976, he treats his bike like a car on the road. It’s a theory based on research that shows being a skilled cyclist is the best way to prevent injury or death, Burdett says. He rides with confidence because he knows how to, Burdett says. He

Cyclists should learn how to ‘drive’ their bicycles before hitting the road, according to Avery Burdett, a founding member of the Responsible Cycling Coalition. has taken the nationally-syndicated Can-Bike training course and he has spent years riding the roads with other cyclists in the Ottawa Bicycle Club. That’s what he thinks everyone else should do before hitting the road. He says the focus on building infrastructure for bicycles is purely political: “They want to get people out of cars – and it’s not going to work … It has to be recognized that skills

will reduce the risk of people getting injured. We’re the thorn in the side of their plans.” Still, Burdett wouldn’t be upset to see more cyclists on the road – as long as they are trained to the exacting standards he holds himself to. “No one who is a committed cyclist would want to discourage people from getting on a bike,” he said. He says improvements to roads and intersections could make it eas-

ier for people to cycle – but those improvements would also benefit all road users and motorists, he added. ADVOCACY

Cycling advocacy in Ottawa seemed to go through a shift starting about four years ago. That’s when Hans Moor took over as president of Citizens for Safe Cycling (CfSC), and it’s also around

International Plowing Match at Richmond in 1983 Continued from page 31

The special postmark was put on souvenir envelopes bearing the International Plowing Match’s symbol for the event. These souvenir envelopes were available at the Canada Post booth at the Plowing Match and also at the Richmond post office during the five days of the Plowing Match. More than 300 volunteers were involved with the Ottawa-Carleton organizing committee for this 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show. Preston Ralph of

Burritt’s Rapids was chair of the organizing committee. Colleen Brown of Richmond was chair of the Ladies’ Program while Gordon Hill of Fallowfield was chair of the Tented City committee. The local organizing committee works in unison with the Ontario Plowmen’s Association which is the official host of the annual event. Leading up to the event itself, a Rural and Urban Beautification program was held, with 405 participants. The aim of this program was to encourage farmers, home owners and in-

dustrial and commercial firms to tidy up their properties to present an attractive image of the Ottawa-Carleton region to the visitors coming to the area for the Plowing Match. Keith and Margaret Hobbs of RR1, Ashton were judged to have the most improved farmstead in the judging for the program. Ken Dunbar Ltd. of Richmond had the most attractive industrial/ commercial property in the judging. The Ladies’ Arts and Crafts Theatre at the Plowing Match featured the 38 quilts entered in a quilt competition which was staged prior to the event itself.

the time when the group handed over Can-Bike training courses to be run by the city. “It’s not the same group as it was,” said Burdett, who was once involved with CfSC. “It’s basically an environmental group now.” Moor, who moved to Ottawa from Holland in 1998, says his first decade or so in Ottawa gave him the impression that the people who cycle here are mainly focused on an athletic pursuit. But after he took over the advocacy group, he noticed that there were many cyclists in Ottawa who shared his mindset: that riding a bike is simply an efficient, healthy and safe way to get around. “Our message is a bit more moderate than in the past – it appeals to more people,” Moor said. Moor likens the range of cycling groups to the different types of motorists. That includes everyone from regular commuters to Formula One racecar drivers, he says. “Elite” cycling groups like RCC represent the cycling equivalent of Formula One drivers. CfSC leans more to the average commuter. CfSC doesn’t disagree with everything other groups are saying (Moor also thinks that more money could be spent on cycling education), but he’s reluctant to get into debates with groups that hold an opposing view. In the end, Moor says his impression is that not many decision makers listen to the anti-bike lane or elite vehicular cycling groups. “It doesn’t have much of an impact on where cycling is going in Ottawa.”

This 1983 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show near Richmond was the third time that the Ottawa-Carleton area had hosted the event. The 1932 match was held on 150 acres at the Central Experimental Farm, along with 200 acres of adjoining farms. The 1952 match was held on 835 acres of farmland surrounding the Carp airport at Carp. It attracted 85,000 spectators. The 1918 match was planned to be held at the Central Experimental Farm but at the 11th hour, the match was cancelled because of a flu epidemic. In 2001, the International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show was held at Navan in Ottawa-Carleton. In 2003, it was held just east of Carleton Place in Lanark County.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories If it hadn’t been for the ice house and the Barnett ice box grandfather bought, we would not have had a way to keep food from spoiling. But the ice house served another purpose as well, even though we kids were forbidden to use it for anything other than to store ice from the Bonnechere River and retrieve a block when necessary. It was a retreat on a hot day, but we had to sneak in and sneak out, as we were warned any unnecessary opening of the door would cause the ice to melt. The ice house was always built on the north side of a building, in our case it was the little barn used to house the sheep. It was further shaded too, by two big elm trees on either side, which were probably there more by accident than design. It was made of straight upand-down lumber, which had weathered to black from more than a century of use. There were no windows and the door was narrow and wide enough only to allow one body to go in at a time with the iron tongs to retrieve a block of ice when the one in the kitchen had melted down, filling the basin

under the ice box with water. When the winter was at its coldest and the river had frozen solid, father would cut huge blocks of ice, pile them on the flat bottom sleigh and haul the load to the ice house. He would be at the job for days, drilling, sawing and stacking the blocks in the ice house in neat rows. Once he had enough to ensure we could survive until the next year, he made many trips to the saw mill for sawdust, which the owner was glad to get rid of. Every square inch of ice was covered with the sawdust to protect it from the little bit of summer warmth that penetrated the wood walls. It was usually Audrey or Everett who were sent for a new block of ice. They could be counted on to do the job the quickest, with the least amount of light let into the ice house. It was pitch-black inside and so they worked by feel rather than by seeing what they were doing. When the house was built, a big wood slip lock was made to keep the door secure and which could be used to open and close the door from either inside or out. That was a great comfort to

R0011555359

Ice box brought wonders me, as I was always terrified of being locked inside some place and not being able to get out. That door was supposed to be opened only when a block of ice was being taken out, but that didn’t mean that was always the case. Although I was much too timid to do this on my own, I knew that my brothers would often slip into the ice house and spread out on the top blocks to cool off on a blistering hot summer day. They would wait until father was in a field and mother was busy in the kitchen and then they would sneak open the big wood slip lock and put as much flesh as they could onto the ice. They had to be very careful to rid themselves of any sawdust when they emerged, however. Even a smidgen stuck to their overalls told the story of their adventure in the ice house and they would be given a lecture on the evils of disobedience. The ice wasn’t only for the ice box. Mother made big jugs of iced tea and Audrey would be sent for shards of ice, which would be washed thoroughly in a clean bowl and then dropped into the tea. See ICE BOX, page 43

Making Greek bread

Your Community Newspaper

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff

One of Jeff’s aunts gave me this recipe for Greek-style bread made in the bread machine. I tried it one day when we were having a light summer supper, and we thoroughly enjoyed the flavour combination of feta cheese, black olives and oregano. The bread is moist and keeps well for a couple of days. We didn’t quite finish the first loaf however before the last couple of slices were starting to get a bit dry. I had cooked a turkey a couple of days before and was making hot turkey sandwiches for supper. I decided to use the last of the Greek bread as the bottom layer for the sandwich since the turkey gravy would help to moisten it. The distinctive flavour of the bread transformed the hot turkey sandwiches into an entirely new and tasty dish. It was so good that I expect I’ll be making this recipe whenever I have leftover turkey. This bread is also great for sandwiches. I used it one day for tuna sandwiches, and, like the turkey sandwich, they had an entirely dif-

ferent flavour. The amount given here makes a small loaf, about one pound. The amounts shown in brackets make a larger loaf. Jeff’s aunt recommended using a sweet bread setting on the breadmaker. I’ve also baked this using the dry milk setting when I substituted skim milk powder and water for the milk. The bread turned out fine both ways. You can leave out the black olives, but the bread will be just a bit drier. Greek Bread * 2/3 cup milk (1 cup) * 1 Tbsp. olive oil or vegetable oil (2 Tbsp * 1/2 tsp. salt (1 tsp. salt) * 2 cups flour (3 cups) * 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2/3 cup) * 3 Tbsp. black olives, pitted and sliced (1/4 cup) * 2 tsp. sugar (2 tsp.) * 1 tsp. oregano (1 1/2 tsp.) * 1 1/2 tsp. bread machine yeast (1 1/2 tsp.) Place all ingredients in the bread machine in the order given. Follow your machine’s directions for baking. As soon as the bread is done, turn out on a wire rack to cool before cutting.

We had never heard of ice cubes in the 1930s. For reasons which escaped me at the time, ice for the cold drink was never taken from the ice box. Then on asking my older and much wiser sister why the ice had to come from the ice house and not the ice box, Audrey said “it was fresher,” which made perfect sense to me. We could never afford an ice box, but when grandfather saw the many hardships mother had to endure when she married a back-woods farmer after living so long in a big city, he bought a brand new wood ice box in Renfrew and as well as keeping our food fresh, it served as a nice piece of furniture for the kitchen.

It sat kitty-corner and mother always had a potted plant on the top of it, which at the time, I thought brought a touch of elegance to the kitchen. Since I was the youngest of five, I was given jobs mother thought I was capable of doing. One was emptying the melted ice water from under the ice box. It dripped into a large white porcelain basin and I was always checking it, because if it got too full, I was sure to spill it on the kitchen floor. So several times a day, I got down on my belly, and stuck my hand in the basin to see if it was ready to be emptied. In the winter time, the water was poured into the reservoir on the end of the Findlay Oval.

Anything we could do to cut down on dragging water from the pump out in the yard when the snow was knee deep, we did it. But in the summer, the water was poured on the garden or on mother’s flower beds. It was no small blessing that I never really appreciated back then; but we had the river and so we had ice. We had an ice house to store it in and so were always able to keep our perishables fresh. We had a grandfather who had enough money to buy us an ice box. We had a neighbour who was willing to let us cart away as much sawdust as we needed. We were poor, but in many ways we were blessed. Yes, indeed, we were blessed.

EMC news - Fore! You won’t be on a golf course but you just may see a golf cart publicizing the Richmond Village Association (RVA) going around the Richmond fairgrounds at Fair time this year. That’s because the RVA is thinking of using a golf cart as its presence at the Richmond Fair this year, rather than having a display booth as in past years. The idea of using a golf cart to circulate around the fairgrounds, perhaps handing out RVA information, came up at the RVA meeting on Tuesday, August 7. RVA Board of Directors member Leslie Abraham made the suggestion. She suggested that perhaps lemonade or water could be handed out to fair-goers from the golf cart but RVA president Don Flanders wondered whether this might infringe on some of the food concessions at the Fair. He did, though, like the idea of an RVA golf cart at the Fair, thinking that having the golf cart circulating through the grounds would give the RVA more visibility.

The RVA has already paid $180 for its booth space at the Fair. It is hoping that it might be able to get these funds back from the Richmond Agricultural Society if the Society also agrees to allow the RVA to use a golf cart on the grounds. If the RVA cannot get the funds back, it may try to sub-lease the space to another community organization. If the Agricultural Society turns down the RVA’s suggestion about using a golf cart, the RVA may try to get another community organization to share its booth space, paying half the rental cost. The RVA likes the golf cart idea because it means that the RVA does not have to erect a tent at its booth space. In addition, there will be less demand on volunteers since a display booth will require more constant staffing. A booth also has to be eye-catching which requires flowers or other attractions, something which takes time and money to put in place. The Richmond Agricultural Society does contract for the use of several golf carts during Fair time to provide a means of transportation for Fair Directors and volunteers to get around the fairgrounds.

Proposed 425 home subdivision Food Bank needs donations John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A proposed 425 home residential subdivision immediately west of the Fairwinds subdivision in Stittsville has received draft plan approval from the city of Ottawa. This is subject to a list of conditions and also to the absence of any appeals to the Ontario Municipal Board. Appeals must be submitted to the city prior to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 20. If no appeals are received by the city by this date, then the draft plan approval is finalized. The proposed subdivision, which covers 25.06 hectares of currently vacant land running from Maple Grove Road south to almost the Hazeldean Road, has 202 single family homes, 100 semi-detached homes and 123 row-housing units, totally 425 homes. The subdivision also has provision for a future school site, a park, open space along the portion of Poole Creek which runs through the southern edge of the property, 14 streets and two pathways. One of these pathways will run along the north side of Poole Creek. Road access to the subdivision will be from Maple Grove Road and also from a collector road that will run through the subdivision, connecting it to the Fairwinds subdivision to the east and a future Fairwinds subdivision to the west along Johnwoods Street. In addition, one of the draft plan conditions

requires that two lots along the southern portion of the subdivision be reserved for a potential future road connection from the subdivision through abutting lands to Hazeldean Road. A suggestion that a ten metre buffer area be established between this new subdivision and existing homes on Joseph Circle is not included in the city’s draft plan approval. City planners state that the provision of such a buffer strip is generally not considered necessary between areas with similar residential dwelling types. The suggestion had been made because the proposed lots backing onto existing Joseph Circle homes will have lot widths of about 13 metres. Such lot widths are less than the size of the existing Joseph Circle properties. This subdivision proposal, submitted by Maple Grove Co-Tenancy consisting of a numbered company and Tamarack through Maple Grove Corporation, dates back to Dec. 2007 when it was submitted to the city. It has taken so long to reach draft plan approval because of issues that arose with respect to provincially endangered butternut trees on the site and geotechnical and setback matters related to protection of the Poole Creek corridor, the Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek Environmental Assessments and sanitary servicing capacity issues related to the Hazeldean Pumping Station.

New streets keep getting added to the map of Stittsville. The Fairwinds subdivision in the Kanata West section of Stittsville, the Jackson Trails subdivision, the Deer Run subdivision along West Ridge Drive and the Traditions subdivision at the south end of the village are all contributing new streets

to the community. Street names in the Fairwinds subdivision developed by Mattamy Homes include Aquilo, Santa Anna, Martinique, Sedgebrook, ParLa-Ville, Montserrat, Vandevale, Loveche, Mistral, Senesta, Burnaby, Rosehill, Elesian, Tempest, Shawondasee, Moncao, Galleon, Gregate, Kohilo, Tramontana, Harmattan, Edgevalley, Helm, Levanto, Khamsin,

Barracks and Dalewood. And there are other street names that have been around for a few years now. There’s Echo Pond and Stoney Pond, both in the Echo Woods subdivision east of the Carp Road and north of Hazeldean Road. There’s Ballyboy and Parlor, both running off West Ridge Drive in the area of Bert G. Argue Drive and Thresher Avenue. The Deer Run south area has Black Bear, Coyote, Mazari and Landswood. Other more recent street names in the Deer Run subdivision

are Birchland Crescent and Adamson Crescent. The area south of Fernbank Road and east of Stittsville Main Street has, among its street names, Evelyn Powers, Monterossa, Allgrove and Arrowwood. Talltree is a street running off Abbott Street between Iber Road and the Ecole Jean-Paul II elementary school. And while Amberlakes Drive running off Stittsville Main Street near Hazeldean Road is fairly familiar, its fellow street in that area, namely Stowgrass, is not as well known.
