Fireworks on Aug. 27 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It looks like there will be fireworks in Stittsville on Saturday, Aug. 27. The fireworks at this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville were cancelled due to the weather. Now, the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), which organizes the Canada Day celebrations along with other community events, is planning on setting off the fireworks on Saturday, Aug. 27. Most of the paperwork surrounding such a fireworks display has been completed but final approval has still not been received to permit the fireworks to go ahead. But the SVA is optimistic that everything will be approved and the fireworks can go ahead on Saturday, Aug. 27 about 9 p.m. The fireworks will take place just like on Canada Day, with the fireworks being let off at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex playing fields with spectators sitting at the front of Sacred Heart High School.

Hollyhock in Lillian Hobbs’ garden reaches 11 feet in height John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Lillian Hobbs’ garden quite literally reached new heights this summer. This was thanks to a hollyhock which had one flower shoot or spire reach 11 feet in height while two other flower shoots soared to over ten feet tall. Hollyhocks are usually three to eight feet tall, with nine feet being considered exceptionally tall. These tall flower shoots as well as numerous others sprouted from just one plant located in a sheltered nook at the side of Lillian’s Mansfield Road farm house. The site receives full sun until the sunshine is

blocked by nearby trees in the later afternoon. The seed which generated this tall hollyhock came from the Wesley Acres Retreat Centre and Campground at Bloomfield near Picton. Wesley Acres has a connection with Stittsville in that it is the successor to the former Methodist Campgrounds which existed in Stittsville for much of the 20th century until such campgrounds were centralized in the early 1970’s at Wesley Acres at Bloomfield. Indeed, it was Lillian Hobbs, who attended camp meetings at the former Methodist Campgrounds in Stittsville, who initially suggested to the Goubourn Township Next issue: SEP 17/16

Historical Society that a plaque be erected at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville to commemorate the former Methodist Campgrounds. This plaque was subsequently erected by the Historical Society at Alexander Grove. Hollyhocks have been planted around the Wesley Acres site and it was seed from these Wesley Acres hollyhocks which were provided to Lillian. The seed was sprinkled in the garden but nothing seemed to come. Then, last fall, while weeding the garden, Lillian noticed a plant with big leaves that she realized was not a weed and so she left it. It was this hollyhock plant which has soared to such great heights. Hollyhock is the common name for Alcea, a genus of about 60 species of flowering plants in the mallow family. The plant is native to Asia and Europe. Hollyhocks are usually considered a biennial, flowering in the second year. They are popular garden plants, with their flowers attracting butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. Flowers can be blue, pink, red, white, yellow and maroon. The flowers JOHN CURRY/METROLAND bloom on shoots or spires that are usually up to eight feet tall.

Trying to control truck traffic on Huntmar Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

Frank Boeres, who lives at the roundabout at Huntmar Drive and Rosehill Avenue in Stittsville, said truck traffic starts at 5:30 a.m. and doesn’t let up until 9 p.m. Boeres, who says he’s probably submitted 95 complaints to the police, says he and other members of the Fairwinds Community Association have been trying to get the issue addressed for three years. “It’s horrible, you can’t sit outside,” he said, adding probably as much as 40 trucks go by the area daily, trying to get to Highway 417. “It seems to go in spurts and most of them are between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.,” he said, adding that children are often at play near the road. “It’s a collector road, but it’s also a community,” he said. Const. Tony Hagan said heavy trucks are allowed to use the road to make deliveries, or to go to residents or work sites, but are obligated to take the shortest route to their delivery point and then leave by the same route. “This does not always happen,” Hagan wrote in an email. “Also heavy trucks use Huntmar as a cut through from the 417/Palladium to get to Hazeldean and Iber Road locations. They cannot use Huntmar like that.” Hagan added that GPS units don’t show ‘no truck routes’ and the roundabout at

Huntmar Drive and Rosehill Avenue has been damaged in the past by large trucks and/or trailers that have been unable to negotiate it properly. But enforcement can be difficult. “In order for us to prove the offence of driving a truck on a ‘no truck route’ like Huntmar, we first need to establish gross weight as per MTO (Ministry of Transportation Ontario) info, we then have to follow the truck and see where he or she is going,” he said. Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri said he’s been working with police on heightened enforcement since January. He’s also written to area businesses – like Food Basics – that it is a no truck route. “Are we ever going to 100 per cent eradicate the problem, no,” he said, adding trucks coming from out of town may still use the route, but it will significantly help if the city can be proactive. Qadri also said it can be tough for residents to know which trucks are travelling the road illegally, so the perception may be that the problem is not as bad as people think. In addition to the letters to businesses, the city has installed no truck signs throughout the route. Glen Gower, also a member of the community association, says he doesn’t think the signs have been as effective as they might have been. “There’s a lot of signage on the road, so it’s possible they’re being missed,” he said,

adding they might need to be bigger to stand out. Boeres said a good enforcement tool would be cameras, which would help police to determine the best times to be out ticketing trucks. Another option would be the installation of more stop signs to make the route less attractive. “It’s a matter of when, not if, there’s going to be a fatality if something’s not done soon,” he said. Hagan did say that another blitz is in the works to catch trucks travelling the route illegally.

Oakhurst Farm hosting provincial championships John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Oakhurst Farm at Ashton will be hosting the 2016 Ontario Horse Trials provincial championships. These 2016 Ontario Horse Trials provincial championships will be held at Oakhurst Farm on Saturday, Sept. 3 and Sunday, Sept. 4, with competitors from all across Ontario expected to participate in this year-end provincial championships in the equestrian sport of eventing. Oakhurst Farm is an equine eventing facility owned by Ruth Allum and her husband Mark Nelson which has been the site of equine eventing competitions for over 20 years. Oakhurst Farm runs several competitions on site every year, attracting competitors from Ontario, Quebec and the north eastern United States. “The opportunity to bring a provincial championships to the nation’s capital region brings great excitement to our sport locally,” says Ruth Allum of Oakhurst Farm who is chair of coaching for the Canadian Eventing Committee. Oakhurst Farm is the first site in the Ottawa area to host these provincial championships in quite a number of years. The selection of Oakhurst Farm as the site for the championships was announced at the 2015 Ontario Horse Trials Association (OHTA) annual general meeting in Alliston, ON. Mark Nelson, who has been president of the Ontario Equestrian Federation, organized the eventing portion of the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto. “The honour of having our own equestrian facility selected as the competition site for the 2016 provincial championships gives us a great opportunity to

He sits on the boards of both the Ontario Horse Trials Association and the Ontario Equestrian Federation where he serves as president and competitions chair. Mark himself experience success in international competition and was long listed with the Canadian Eventing Team in 2006. Three-Day Eventing is an Olympic sport and one of the only Olympic sports in which men and women compete against each other. Eventing tests a horse/ rider team with regard to fitness, accuracy, boldness, agility, power and trust. The three phases in eventing are dressage, cross country and show jumping. Dressage tests the balance, suppleness and obedience of the horse as well as the harmony between the horse and rider. The horse/rider team is required to ride through an exact sequence of movements before a judge. Cross country is the most demanding of the three phases involved in eventing, requiring the horse and rider to jump a series of fixed, unfamiliar obstacles while galloping across a course of about five kilometers in length. Stamina and trust between horse and rider are critical in cross country. Judgement, speed and accuracy are all required in show jumping. Show jumping sees the horses jump a set combination of jumps in a stated order. It is always a popular part of eventing. Each phase of an eventing competition is scored, with pen-

‘Gord Atkinson’s Showbill: Volume Two’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

His first book in 1996 profiled 36 showbiz celebrities. Fascinating. His second, followup book published this year includes over 40 more showbiz profiles. Amazing. All this from Stittsville resident Gord Atkinson whose 50 year career in broadcasting, mostly with CFRA Radio in Ottawa, saw him interview all of these personalities and more. Just awesome! Gord’s first book in 1996, entitled “Gord Atkinson’s Showbill” which reflected the name of his award-winning radio program “Showbill,” sold in the thousands, absolutely astounding its author with its success. But although a sequel or second book was envisioned early on after the success of the first book, it did not happen until this year. Indeed, it was just about a year ago that Gord made the decision to write this second book while, he says, he still had the energy to do it. And the result has been the book “The Golden Years of Entertainment: Show Business from the Gaslight Age to the Space

Age” which is also being billed as “Gord Atkinson’s Showbill: Volume Two.” Similar to the first book, this new book features a host of over 40 showbiz profiles but this sequel also includes a synopsis of show business in the 20th century. Writing, whether a book, a script or a column, is nothing new for Gord Atkinson. Although best known as a broadcaster, he has also spent much of his life writing, either related to his work in broadcasting or arising from it. For instance, he wrote a column for the Ottawa Citizen for 12 years as well as writing for the former Ottawa Journal. He has also written a column for a number of years for a seniors publication in Ottawa. And his broadcasting career saw him write most of his scripts and programming for his teen-based Campus Club program and for his entertainment-based Showbill program. Gord admits that his first book “Gord Atkinson’s Showbill” in 1996 was a challenge, not because it was his first book but because it was difficult to narrow down for profiling the many entertainers that he had interviewed over the years. His publisher, Creative Bound Inc. of

DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS / AMENDMENTS UNDER THE PLANNING ACT NOTICE OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE MEETING

Carp, left it up to him about whom to write about in the book although suggestions were made about whose profile would help sell books. For this newest second book, Gord says that the choice of whom to profile “came easy” from among the 200 or so celebrity interviews that he had conducted over the years. Some had been profiled in various columns that he had written while a few were even profiled in the first book as well, such as Elvis Presley. Besides profiles of those he has personally interviewed over the years such as Lorne Greene, Christopher Plummer, Donald O’Connor, Liberace, Burl Ives, Andy Williams, Pat Boone, Julie Andrews, Al Hirt, Edgar Bergen, Dorothy Lamour, Jack Benny, Judy Garland, Jimmy Durante, Danny Kaye and more, he has also included in the book profiles of entertainment icons like Will Rogers, Glenn Miller, Al Jolson, Charlie Chaplin and Maurice Chevalier. In addition, in this second book, Gord has included an historical narrative of show business from the 1890’s up to the era of rock ‘n roll. He notes that not much has been written about the entertainment business in the first half of the 20th century, adding that there was a vibrant world of pop music before Elvis and rock ‘n roll came along. For instance, Bing Crosby’s record sales were immense in the first half of the 20th century. Gord has self-published this second book and so is now concentrating on its sales. He

has been heard plugging it on radio and he is open to do speaking engagements with senior groups and service clubs. Gord praises his wife Elaine for working with him on the book, both as an editor and a typist. “She’s my beautiful right arm,” he says about Elaine, adding that both books are as much the result of her efforts as his own. He himself wrote everything out in long hand, working at it every day for a year. Gord, of course, sent a copy of this second book off to his long time friend, Ottawaborn impersonator and comedian Rich Little who has praised the book as being fabulous. Rich has played a major role in Gord’s books as many of Gord’s interviews with show business personalities came about thanks to Rich’s contacts in the entertainment industry. Indeed, Gord credits his access to show business celebrities more to Rich Little than anyone else. He calls Rich “a true loyal friend.” Another boost for Gord’s books came from interviews which Gord did in connection with his award-winning chronological radio series “The Crosby Years” dealing with the career of Bing Crosby and done with Bing’s full support. It was released in 1975 and subsequently has been broadcast around the world. Gord even got to present the finished radio series to Bing himself. Gord describes “The Crosby Years” as “the work of my life,” acknowledging that he has been a Crosby fan ever since he was a teenager. See MORE SHOWBIZ, page 7

More showbiz profiles in new book Continued from page 6

He was active in a Crosby fan club as a teenager and met Bing for the first time in 1945, starting his long association with the iconic singer and entertainer. Gord calls Crosby the “most natural pop singer” and the one who set the style for vocalists like Frank Sinatra and Perry Como. Another who was influential in aiding Gord in his interviews over the years was Ottawa-born singer Paul Anka who facilitated some of the interviews. Indeed, Paul made his radio debut on Gord’s radio show. Bing Crosby played a role in Gord’s early career in radio in Toronto where Gord, with the support of Bing, was able to arrange

a weekly radio program playing Bing’s records. This program, launched in 1948, was the only one in Canada allowed to play Bing’s records. Gord was eventually lured to CFRA Radio in Ottawa where he became a radio legend with his broadcasting work both with the teen-based Campus Club and with his show featuring the entertainment business. He was the MC for the Elvis Presley concert at the old Ottawa Auditorium which was Elvis’ only visit to the nation’s capital. He also served as the MC for the multimillion dollar fundraising concerts for the Ottawa Hospital featuring Frank Sinatra and Rich Little. Gord is not expecting this second

Quilts wanted for Richmond Fair Special to the News

The Richmond Fair is looking for quilts to be exhibited in the Homecraft Section’s quilt show at this year’s Fair (Sept. 15-Sept. 18). There are categories for all kinds of quilts, techniques and skill levels – hand quilted, machine quilted and applique. Traditional designs, modern designs, wall hangings and even wearable art are all welcome. The quilt committee would especially like to encourage submis-

sions from young quilters as there are categories for quilts by those under 12 years of age and also those from 12 to 16 years of age. And, remember, there is no entry fee for either of these categories. Entries can be submitted online in August and at the Fair office at the fairgrounds in late August and up until Sept. 6. Entry details, the prize list covering all Homecraft Section entries and entry forms are available on the Fair website at www. richmondfair.ca.

book of his to achieve the success of the first one but he is happy that it is now completed and published and is available for those who enjoy reading about legendary show business personalities. This new book also features numerous photographs, many with a local flavour such as ones with his fellow radio and TV personalities like Ken “The General” Grant and Bill Luxton and his favourite photo, one of he and his wife Elaine with Larry Mann, his great friend and mentor. “I wanted to make this a pictorial book as well as an actual biographic book,” Gord says.

The final chapter, “There’s no business like show business. And no people like show people” features 15 pages of photographs of Gord with show business entertainers like Toronto’s Crew Cuts, Connie Francis, Tennessee Ernie Ford, a teenaged Sally Field, Harry Bellafonte, Fred Astaire, Red Buttons, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Englebert Humperdink, Bob Hope and Anne Murray, among others. He’s met and interviewed them all and more! Gord says that between the two books, he has profiled many of the 200-odd show business personalities that he has interviewed over the years. Singer Al Martino, he notes, is one of those he interviewed but is not profiled in either book. This second book “The Golden Years of Entertainment: Show Business from the Gaslight Age to the Space Age” is 234 pages long. Besides the show business profiles, it also serves to outline Gord’s career as a broadcaster and writer over the decades. An early chapter, “Radio Daze” which has the sub-title “Tune in Yesterday,” is based on his first hand radio experiences, some of which are insightful, some of which are informative and some of which are amusing. You can obtain a copy of “Gord Atkinson’s Showbill: Volume Two,” namely “The Golden Years of Entertainment: Show Business from the Gaslight Age to the Space Age” by mailing a cheque or money order for $20 to Gord Atkinson’s Showbill, 14 Castle Harbour Court, Stittsville, ON K2S 1B9. It’s a great personal read and also is great for gift giving. Inquiries about the book should be directed to 613-836-2374.

OPINION

Every single drop of water counts

ere in Ottawa, we are lucky to live next to the Ottawa River; a massive source of water. And we are equally lucky that our city has managed the resource and its distribution carefully. The Ottawa River is clean enough to swim in, for the most part. The river water runs through filtration plants and pipes that deliver a perfectly clean product to all but the rural homes in the city. In much of the world, clean drinkable water is not a given. It takes time to haul and may take time to boil until potable. Here we simple turn the tap. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we take for granted. But a short drive away, equipment problems and weather conditions have quickly turned water into a question mark. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority declared a severe drought condition for several sub watersheds of the Mississippi River last week. Given the recent heatwave and limited rainfall, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise. The question is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with climate change upon us â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how many more droughts will turn arable land and productive wells into unusable or less productive land? The Town of Arnprior saw water shut off last week because of a loss of pressure in

the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pipes. Residents couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bathe in the water. Flushing a toilet was OK. Bottled water was handed out. It shows just how key water is to our existence. Turn off the taps and our world will change dramatically in a matter of minutes. Ninety per cent of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population lives on just 10 per cent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arable land. Rural Ottawa relies on wells and septic tanks to exist and for them a power failure has up until now been the biggest threat. No electricity means no water pump bringing that ice-cold water up from your well. But the rural water supply is starting to show a few signs of distress. On Aug. 12, with little or no rain in sight, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, based in Manotick, issued a press release stating that the Rideau River Watershed was now in the severe drought category. The decision was based on the 30day precipitation indicator they use. Once rural water supplies are affected by a lack of rain or ground surface water starts to decline, rural residents will be in trouble. We take it for granted, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surely time to reassess our seemingly easy access to good water.

Take the fun leave the phone at home CHARLES GORDON

never understood what PokĂŠmon was all about way back in 1995 when it was just a bunch of mysterious cards that kids collected. Now, it has become something you do with your phone and I understand it even less. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worth the trouble to learn, which is the kind of decision you have the luxury of making when you get older. Fortunately you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to understand the whys and wherefores of the game to be fascinated by the social consequences of whatever it is the players are doing. The news media are full of reports about bizarre gatherings of people in unlikely places. Each day brings new tales of people behaving irrationally in pursuit of whatever it is, endangering themselves and others.

Funny Town To hear the media tell it, people are walking into traffic, falling off cliffs and into bodies of water, all the while looking for PokĂŠmon thingies on their phones. While you can usually discount such tales of horror by half, the sort of people who regularly become alarmed by new forms of behaviour are alarmed and ready to testify to the media about how alarmed they are. Given the fact that there are genuinely alarming things going on in the world, the PokĂŠmon Go disturbance is a pretty good example of a First World problem.

But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop people from demanding that something be done. Communities are getting nervous. Too many people are showing up at places such as Torontoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ferry terminal or day-care centres in New Hampshire. They are driving erratically around Toronto suburbs in the middle of the night. Toddlers, it is claimed, have been abandoned and the Israeli army has expressed concern about security implications. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m reminded of the time, in 1981, when an Ottawa daily newspaper ran a promotion involving hiding a gold bar and printing clues as to its whereabouts. People being people, misinterpretations were made and folks began digging in odd places, such as the Regional Detention Centre.

Eventually, the story goes, city police let the paper know that it would be good if the gold was found quickly, and it was. While some cities are attempting to cash in on PokĂŠmon Goâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity to attract visitors, Toronto has asked that the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developers move whatever it is away from the ferry terminal. This, in turn, has dismayed the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devotees, who fear a crackdown. What some of them said is interesting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It actually brings people together,â&#x20AC;? one woman told the Toronto Star. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The normal games that you usually have in your phone â&#x20AC;Ś encourage kids to stay indoors. This is the first game that brought people out.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good point when you think about it, and maybe people have been too quick to condemn something they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely understand.

selves. Now, here are a bunch of people venturing out and finding a kind of community when they get out there. Mind you, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still staring at screens. The trick now is to find ways of bringing out the people, while keeping the phones at home. As you can tell, if you look around these days, this will not be easy. Maybe if we hid some gold.

Site clearance and preparation work is underway for the construction of the new retirement residence at the eastern end of the former Stittsville Flea Market site in Stittsville. This new retirement residence is being

called Hazeldean Gardens. Its first phase now under construction will include 173 dwelling units. A future second phase will include 57 units. There is also a possible third phase that would be built west of the first two phases. The five-storey retirement residence will offer a full continuum of care from fully in-

dependent living to fully assisted living including a special memory care unit. It is expected that this Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence may be open in the fall of 2017. This new Hazeldean Gardens retirement residence is flanked by Hazeldean Road to the north and Neil Avenue to the south. The “Welcome to Stittsville” sign and parkette is located immediately east of the site.

Kathak dance event coming up on Aug. 24 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Costumes which enhance the dance movements. Spectacular. A world premiere of original music composed in both Canada and India. Awesome. Exquisite Kathak dancing featuring Kathak visionary and master Anjali Patil of Stittsville and guest dancer Sandip Mallick, one of the leading male Kathak performers in India. Priceless. And it’s all happening at the upcoming Ekayan Kathak event at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans on Wednesday, Aug. 24. This is another production featuring Kathak dancing planned and presented by Anjali Patil of Stittsville which has been almost two years in the making, ever since Anjali first connected with Sandip Mallick of India and they both expressed a desire to dance together.

Kathak on Aug. 24. Kathak, by the way, is one of the major forms of Indian classical dance, emphasizing rhythmic foot movements and movement harmonized to the music. It tells a story through the gestures of arms and upper body movement, facial expressions and movements on stage. And while spins and footwork are features of Kathak dancing, so too is the making of an eye connection between the dancer and the audience which draws the audience into the dance. Sandip Mallick, who will be the guest artist at Ekayan Kathak, is one of the leading male Kathak performers in India today. “He’s really, really good,” is how Anjali describes his dancing. Although Kathak dancing was once a male dominated dance form, it is now rare to see a male Kathak dancer. But what makes this upcoming performance by Sandip Mallick even more special is that a male dancer like Sandip brings a very dynamic energy to classical Kathak dancing. The beauty and gracefulness is there, just like with the female Kathak dancer, but his dynamic energy will add a special visual treat for the audience. Ekayan Kathak will also see the world premiere of the original work of composers in both Canada and India. Anjali has worked with a number of composers in assembling the music for this Aug. 24 performance. And Ekayan Kathak will also feature an array of new costumes that Anjali terms “spectacular.” Costumes are so important in

Kathak dancing as the costumes serve to further enhance the dance movements, adding to the visual impact of the dance. Even the fabric used for the costumes is considered as the fabric serves to complete the dance movement. When developing the choreography for a Kathak dance, those such as Anjali must be aware of and consider how the fabric will react to the dance movements so that it flows and moves to enhance the dance. It also takes up to two years to plan and organize an event like this upcoming Ekayan Kathak because Anjali has to line up support so that the event can happen. For Ekayan Kathak, Anjali is receiving support from the City of Ottawa, Articipate Endowment Fund and the Ontario Arts Council. She is most grateful for this support as funding from such sources provides the critical seed money that allows such events as Ekayan Kathak to happen. Indeed, Anjali has started a consulting business specifically to help cultural and artistic groups apply for grants and funding. Anjali stays connected with the Kathak dance community in India. Although a Canadian, she travels to India on occasion to perform and to give workshops to young professional Indian dancers. She finds that connecting with dancers in India allows her to stay abreast of current developments in Kathak dancing as Kathak is always evolving. See EKAYAN KATHAK, page 13

Ekayan Kathak at Shenkman Arts Centre

Stittsville dancer meets Premier Wynne - in India!

But on her trips to India, she always makes it clear that she is a Canadian Kathak artist. She finds that there is a very committed audience for Kathak dancing in the Ottawa area, especially among the Indian population as parents want their children to learn about this classical Indian dance form of Kathak. Ekayan Kathak, featuring Kathak dance including new, traditional, solos and group work will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Shenkman Arts Centre at 245 Centrum Boulevard in Orleans. Exquisite Kathak dancing will be highlighted, featuring both Kathak master Anjali Patil of Stittsville as well as guest artist Sandip Mallick of India. Tickets are only $20 per person and are available by phoning 613-435-9215 or via email at arohafinearts@ gmail.com or through eventbrite.ca.

Anjali Patil of Stittsville recently met Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. But, no, it was not in Stittsville or even in Ottawa. Nor was it in Toronto, Ontario’s capital. Somewhere else in Ontario, then? No, again. Indeed, it was not even in Canada. The pair met in New Delhi, India where Premier Wynne was heading an Ontario trade mission earlier this year. Anjali, who is one of Canada’s most accomplished Kathak dancers, which is a major form of Indian classical dance, performed at a reception held for Premier Wynne and the trade mission. She got to chat and mingle with the Premier and members of the trade mission following her performance. But, just imagine – the Premier travels to India and at her reception in New Delhi, the performer of a classical Indian dance just happens to be a person from Ontario and indeed, a person from Stittsville. But Anjali Patil of Stittsville is known in the Kathak dance community not only in Canada where she is considered a visionary and a master but also in India where Kathak is one of the traditional classical dances.

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Continued from page 12

Anjali, in fact, performed last December at India’s biggest Kathak festival in Ahmedabad where only selected international artists are invited to perform. And she was one of them! She has conducted workshops for young professional dancers in India. While Anjali promotes and teaches Kathak in Canada, she also tries to stay connected with the Kathak dance community in India to stay abreast of the latest developments and trends. Indeed, on Wednesday, Aug. 24, she will be performing at the Ekayan Kathak event at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans which she has organized and which will feature guest artist Sandip Mallick, a male Kathak dancer from India. This Ekayan Kathak event on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans will be a great opportunity to see Kathak dancing at its finest as it features not only guest artist Sandip Mallick but also Anjali Patil herself. The Premier may have had to travel to India to witness Anjali’s talent and creativity but you can see her talent and graceful dancing right close by at the Shenkman Arts Centre on Centrum Boulevard in Orleans. Tickets at $20 per person are available by phoning 613-435-9215 or by

email at arohafinearts@gmail. com . It promises to be a memo-

rable evening of exquisite Kathak dance.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Three tips to boost your child’s school success Though your kids may not want to hear it, a new school year is about to begin. Here are three ways you can contribute to their school success, from elementary to post-secondary. Actively participate in your child’s education: “Research shows that parental involvement leads to higher student achievement and success,” says Akela Peoples, president and CEO of The Learning Partnership, a national charitable organization dedicated to advancing publicly funded education. “Parents should monitor their child’s progress, provide a structured routine, attend school meetings and events, and SUBMITTED encourage their children by telling them they can be successful.” Ensure your child has access to help: “We all need help, but often shy away from asking The students at St. Michael Catholic School in Fitzroy had an exciting year, winning major math for it,” says Roshaan Hajira, a member awards, taking part in several environmental and social action initiatives, and generally excelling in of the alumni advisory committee of many areas.

Cheryl Hyndman, a long-time teacher at A.Y. Jackson Secondary School, shows off the top athlete trophy named in her honour and the Peter Lake Award she was presented with at the end of the school year. Hyndman is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA).

New athletic co-ordinator named for west-end schools

Jessica Cunha

jessica.cunha@metroland.com

Long-time A.Y. Jackson Secondary School physical education teacher and athletic director Cheryl Hyndman had her own graduation of sorts at the end of June. The 18-year veteran of the Kanata high school – 30 years altogether with the school board – is the new athletic co-ordinator for all west-end high schools at the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association. “It’s a good transition for me into retirement and I’ll still have that connection to the school,” said Hyndman, who will be responsible for all high-school sports in the west end of the city. Her coverage area includes schools in Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, Stittsville and West Carleton in the four boards (English and French public and Catholic) as well as private schools. “I’m very fortunate. I have a job I absolutely love. I learn something new every single day,” said the Bridlewood resident. “For me it’s about the kids.” Hyndman’s name will live on at A.Y. after students had the top-athlete award renamed in her honour. She was surprised with the trophy at the school’s end-of-year banquet. “The whole event, I was just in tears the entire time,” said Hyndman. “It was the kids’ idea. It’s cool; you walk past the trophy case and there it is.” She was also presented with the Peter Lake Sportsmanship Award – usually reserved for students – for outstanding leadership, sportsmanship and unselfishness at the end-of-year banquet. The award was also presented to student Destiny Scheel. The Cheryl Hyndman Athlete of the Year Award was presented to four students: se-

niors Thao Dao and Ian Tracy, and juniors Emily Zhao and Tyler Hendrycks. Known as the “school mom,” Hyndman has been integral in helping athletes thrive and keeping the student body active. She’s led numerous sports teams to OFSSAA – the provincial finals and championships for high school students – but for her the main goal was always to have fun and be active. “A hundred per cent effort is more important than how good you are,” she said. “I just want them to come and have fun.” Hyndman was described by a number of her co-workers as welcoming, positive, organized and passionate. “She pushes the students but also realizes they’re kids. A lot of them refer to her as the school mom – that wouldn’t happen unless they knew she cared about them,” said Cindy Arnott, who’s worked at A.Y. for 25 years. “Cheryl has benefitted our school through her unwavering commitment to our students and staff. Her positive attitude and seemingly endless energy have allowed her to be involved in too many activities and initiatives to list,” said physical education teacher Chris Layer, who’s worked with Hyndman for 21 years. “Her open door policy makes the phys ed department a safe space for so many students. Her office is always filled with students coming to say hi or looking for advice … They know Cheryl is always there for them when they need it,” said dance teacher Katie Hill. “Cheryl is the heart of AYJ. The school will be a very different place without Ms. Hyndman in the hallway. We are so proud of her but will miss her dearly.” Hyndman said the move is bittersweet. She’ll miss teaching, but as the athletic coordinator she’ll still be able to visit the school and attend A.Y.’s games. “It’s a really nice community school,” she said. “For a small school we have a big punch.”

Stittsville News - Thursday, August 18, 2016 17

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Is your child a perfectionist? Being a perfectionist can be a good thing, but only if it the tendency is kept within reasonable limits. If not, this character trait can become unhealthy and cause a lot of imbalance in a child’s life. How can parents judge if their child’s search for perfection is excessive? How can they help him or her to better manage it? The following advice may be of use. Sure, we try to teach our children that if a thing is worth doing, it’s worth doing well. But that doesn’t mean everything has to be perfect. Perfectionism is harmful to our well-being when it results in additional stress. The constant dissatisfaction of striving for unattainable goals results in a frantic pace and constant self-doubt. If you notice this kind of attitude in your children, take action right away in order to help them regain their self-esteem. They

must not be allowed to sink further into the vicious circle of perfectionism. Be a role model for your children in their progress towards a healthy attitude regarding effort and making mistakes. The help of a psychologist may also be appropriate.

The ideal time to do homework is as soon as kids get home from school, after a healthy snack.

SOME SOLUTIONS

The best method to follow is to ease back one step at a time. Help your child find a way to change one behaviour at a time and gradually relax the rigid rules she has imposed on herself. Over time, she will understand that not all situations require the same degree of perfection and that her loved ones do not require it either. She will learn to set achievable goals and take pleasure in attaining them, without worrying exclusively about succeeding. Teach her that making mistakes is a part of life and a part of learning.

Five tricks to make homework easier The start of a new school year also means the return of homework. Here are five tricks to keep this daily chore from becoming a source of conflict between kids and parents. 1. Establish a routine. Homework should be done at a set time to avoid negotiations and instill selfdiscipline in kids. The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack. 2. Start with the most difficult tasks. It’s better to start with what kids like the least or the subject they find

most difficult; after a day at school, kids are already tired of concentrating and will be less and less attentive as the minutes go by. This will also allow them to finish their homework on a positive note. 3. Have everything close at hand. Make sure they’re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a compass, and anything else that is needed. This will cut short the imaginative ways kids can delay starting

their homework. 4. Take a break. Primary school-age kids are bound to lose concentration after about 20 minutes. When you notice that happening, give them a short break of a predetermined duration. 5. Create motivation. If the kids have a hard time sitting still, get them to spell words while throwing a ball in the air or going up and down stairs. Or promise to play with them for 15 minutes as soon as they’ve finished their homework.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION How to live with your teenager’s latest look for back to school The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes. When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties. Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters.

Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and leave the door open for other compromises. After all, who’s never upset their parents with some unconventional clothing?

Are you done with boring lunches?

cold, these dishes help beat the monotony of the usual fare. For sandwiches, forget sliced white bread; it contains little nutrition and can get boring. Opt for whole grain pitas, baguette, or tortillas. Fill the sandwich with home cooked meats cut into strips, or use hummus, tofu mix, cheese, or tuna — all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts. Condiments don’t have to be the traditional mustard and mayonnaise. Why not try ranch dressing, pesto, or guacamole for a change? The fruits and vegetables food group also benefits from a bit of variety.

Have you run out of ideas for varying the contents of the kids’ lunch boxes? Are they complaining about always eating the same old thing? Freshen up your lunch-box menu with these brilliant ideas. You can put your children’s favourite leftovers in an insulated container or a microwaveable dish. You could also cook larger quantities in the evening and use the leftovers as the basis for different dishes. Cut strips of chuck roast eaten in the evening to add to an Asian pasta salad; make chicken fried rice with the remains of a roasted chicken. Even eaten

Adolescence is a period of self-affirmation. When it comes to your teenager’s sense of style, try to be as flexible as your values will let you.

BACK TO CLASS FALL REGISTRATION Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school. Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying. Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an

undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone. Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

Sleep, an important element to success Do your teenagers sleep a lot? Good! In order to be fit and able to absorb lots of new information, adolescents should get between nine and ten hours of sleep a day. If your teens have a tendency to go to bed around midnight and then get up at seven in the morning to go to school, they’re probably suffering from chronic lack of sleep. Sleeping in till noon on Saturday won’t help them recover. During adolescence, hormonal changes affect sleep. Melatonin and cortisol, two hormones that regulate sleeping and waking, can undergo abrupt changes in level. On top of that, many teenagers neglect their sleep because of a busy schedule. A young person who doesn’t get enough

sleep will have trouble getting up in the morning and may lack concentration or be drowsy, dizzy, nervous, irritable and depressed. A chronic lack of sleep reduces a person’s learning and memory skills and can have a negative impact on school grades. To restore a normal sleep cycle that will improve their academic performance, encourage your teenagers to adopt the following good habits: • Go to bed and get up every day at the same time. • Turn off all screens (including cell phones) at least one hour before going to bed. • Establish a relaxing bedtime routine; try a glass of warm milk, a warm bath and listening to soft music.

Encourage your teenagers to find out about various study programs without putting any pressure on them.

Career choices: try not to worry By the time they graduate from high school, your teenagers are expected to have made certain choices about their future careers. What do they want to do in life? If you feel your children are undecided or unmotivated, or if they refuse to talk about it, don’t be discouraged just yet. There are many different ways you can help your children through this process. First of all, take every possible opportunity to discuss their interests and skills. Listen without judging and criticizing. Go ahead and tell them you could picture them doing this or that profession, but don’t pressure them. The important thing is to keep your teenagers thinking about the future. Encourage them to see a career counsellor so they can explore their natural talents

and learn about the different programs of study open to them. Remember that it’s never too late to decide on a career. In fact, more and more students are choosing their professions after they reach adulthood and after trying various jobs. Through all their explorations, young people discover their own identity, assimilate all kinds of knowledge and accumulate valuable life experience. Your children’s career paths may be very different from yours. Keep in mind that it’s not uncommon to change careers once, twice or even more often nowadays. In short, be patient when helping your teenagers in their career choices. And remember, they need their parents’ support, even if they don’t show it openly.

As I leave, I carry with me all that I have learned here as well as wonderful memories which I will cherish forever.” In the liturgy, Fr.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Ottawa Farmer’s Market I recently had the opportunity to meet with representatives from the Ottawa Farmers’ Market and City staff to discuss the possibility of a Farmers’ Market here in Stittsville. Both the Ottawa Farmers’ Market and I feel that this would be a great venture for the community and would see great success here in Stittsville. We met at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street East and discussed the benefits of having the market at this location as it is a focal point of the community. Other locations in the community were also discussed for the market if it requires additional space to grow. While there is still more work to be done to get the project moving forward, I wanted to share this a-peeling news with the community. The Ottawa Farmers’ Market currently operates the markets at Lansdowne Park, Byron Park in Westboro and at the Ray Friel Center in Orleans.

It is anticipated that a market in Stittsville would operate similar to the Orleans market, opening seasonally on a weekly basis on a weekday

afternoon and/or evening. As with other markets, arrangements will be made for vendors to park off site and the public would be able to park on Abbott Street and at the City of Ottawa public parking lot across the street. A farmers’ market in Stittsville can also provide the opportunity for vendors local to Stittsville and the surrounding area to market their

goods. The Ottawa Farmers’ Market have over 100 vendors of locally grown and locally made food, arts and crafts. I also thought I would take

There’s going to be a crossing guard at the intersection of Fernbank Road and Liard Street this fall. The city of Ottawa pays for such a crossing guard. Students going to Westwind Public School and Guardian Angels Catholic School must cross Fernbank Road when walking to school and this crossing guard will provide for a safe crossing of the street.….The Ottawa West Arts Association has two new members. Photographer Hassan Zaki and artist Doug Sample, who paints mostly with oils, have both joined the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) which holds ongoing exhibitions at the owaa gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road. Speaking of the owaa gallery, photographer John Edkins has sold one of his pieces on display in the current exhibition “Reflections” at the gallery. He has sold his photograph “The Abyss” which features one horizontal photograph on top, showing an outline of an abbey-type structure while a bottom photograph shows what could be a more up-close view of the same structure. This current exhibition “Reflections” will be ending a little before the regular two month duration of these owaa exhibitions because the walls of the foyer at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex are scheduled to be re-painted. This will be happening after Saturday, Aug. 27.…..The opening of the new medical marijuana dispensary on Iber Road opens up the question of just what is the status of such an establishment. It is a little complicated at present. Medical marijuana is legal in Canada but only for patients with a doctor’s prescription who purchase it from one of the growers licensed by Health Canada. These licensed growers send the marijuana by registered mail. The federal government has supported crackdowns on any medical marijuana dispensaries which sell cannabis products to customers who do not have prescriptions. Criminal Code laws against recreational cannabis possession remain in force until the federal government legalizes recreational use through legislation which is expected next spring. But while illegal, ironically all income derived from the sale of cannabis products, whether legal or not, is taxable under the Income Tax Act and the Excise Tax Act. Such income is expected to be reported as business income…..

Farmers’ market may be established in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Stittsville may soon have a farmers’ market. It would be run by the Ottawa Farmers’ Market which already operates such markets at Lansdowne Park, in Westboro and in Orleans. Each one has its own manager. This Stittsville farmers’ market, which would probably be located at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street, would operate weekly on a weekday afternoon or evening during the season. Sue Bird, who owns the log barn building on Abbott Street adjacent to Village Square Park, has been gathering support for such a farmers’ market in Stittsville, with already over 300 indicating support for such an initiative. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is fully supportive of the idea and indeed met recently with representatives from the Ottawa Farmers’ Market and the city of Ottawa to discuss the

possibility of a farmers’ market in Stittsville. It is expected that any such Stittsville farmers’ market would begin next spring at the earliest to allow time for proper preparation and planning and to line up interested vendors. It is felt that vendors will be most interested in participating in such a Stittsville farmers’ market at Village Square Park because it is along the Trans Canada Trail which is a lure for cyclists and walkers and it is in the heart of Stittsville, adjacent to Stittsville Main Street. The Ottawa Farmers’ Market, which would run this Stittsville farmers’ market, insists on a majority of agricultural vendors, with crafters also allowed. Re-sellers are not allowed. The Ottawa Farmers’ Market is now looking into what day of the week a Stittsville farmers’ market would operate. It does not want to compete with the existing Carp or Kanata farmers markets. The Stittsville Village Association is indicating its support for such a Stittsville farmers’ market as well.

You win some and you lose some. Just ask Ross Connor of Amberwood in Stittsville. Ross is the person who over the years has developed and cared for the sprawling oriental-themed garden that sits beside the Poole Creek pathway just east of Springbrook Drive in Amberwood. It has long been one of the community’s visual attractions and always draws lots of comments from those passing by on the Poole Creek pathway. It can also be seen from Springbrook Drive. Indeed, last year this garden was one of those on a garden tour organized by the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. One of the features of this garden has been a concrete Golden Buddha which has sat overlooking the garden. A couple of weeks ago, this Golden Buddha was stolen, along with a couple of pots of flowers. It has not been recovered and Ross has not replaced it. This Golden Buddha was stolen from the garden once before but it was found hidden along Poole Creek nearby. No such luck this time! But while Ross’ garden is now missing

this Buddha attraction, it also now has a new attraction, namely an octopus-like sculpture done by Mother Nature. In reality, it is an old hardened vine that had wound itself around a tree along the Poole Creek pathway. The tree recently had to be cut down but Ross managed to save this hardened vine and it is now a featured attraction in his garden. So the garden is now up one attraction thanks to this vine sculpture and is down one feature due to the theft of the Golden Buddha. Indeed, you win some and you lose some. But the garden remains spectacular, not only because of its ongoing floral and other attractions but also thanks to an array of hanging baskets of flowers which Ross added to the garden this year for even more colour and beauty. At one time the garden, which covers an area that has an eight foot change in elevation, had a waterfall feature, with the water cascading down and flowing under a bridge. However, Ross had discontinued this waterfall feature because of the labour involved in setting it up and dismantling it each year. And don’t tell Ross that gardening has no hazards. See GARDEN NEAR, page 25

Garden near Poole Creek Contnued from page 24

The varying elevations and multiple rocks found in this garden do present him with some challenging situations, although fortunately he has never taken a tumble in the garden. He says that a person has to be careful, though, not to fall. But terrain aside, Ross recently was treated by paramedics and even taken to the hospital after he was weeding under a rock in the garden and disturbed a colony of Yellow Jackets i.e. wasps. He suffered 16 bites, forcing him to rush to a pharmacy for an EpiPen to combat any allergic reaction. Years ago he had suffered one Yellow Jacket bite with his face ballooning up as a result. He did not want this to happen again. This time, paramedics were also called and he was taken to the hospital as well. So, gardening can have its hazards! Yellow Jackets are wasps that can sting repeatedly. Related to hornets, Yellow Jackets usually build concealed nests. Ross is also an accomplished JOHN CURRY/METROLAND artist and on occasion will display his artwork in and around the gar- Ross Connor of Amberwood admires the octopus-like hardened vine that is like a sculpture created by Mother Nature and which he has on prominent display in the garden which he maintains along the Poole Creek pathway just east of Springbrook Drive in Amberwood. den.

Photos at Richmond library John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

He could be called the Richmond library’s “in house” artist. That’s because John MacDonald is not only an avid photographer but he is also a long time public library volunteer. For the month of August, examples of his artistic photographic work are on display at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The works on display are representative of the type of photography that he does and, in his view, it is a “pretty good representation” of the work, including panoramas to landscapes to florals and more. The variety of photographs on display include a scene from Arizona, a photo of the famous Brooklyn Bridge, a winter scene of trees along the Munster Road, a night time photo of the new Vimy Memorial Bridge (Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge) over the Rideau River, a photo of the tiled roofs of a town in Italy, a night time photo of St. Clare’s Church at Dwyer Hill, and three floral photographs on canvas. These photographs portray not only John’s skill with a camera but also reveal some of the techniques that he uses in his photography. For example, the Arizona photo as well as the winter tree scene along Munster Road are both panoramic shots created by

putting four separate photos together. The photo of St. Clare’s Church at Dwyer Hill features “light painting” in which during the lengthy exposure he uses a flashlight to literally paint the areas of the shot that he wants to accentuate. This makes certain features of the photograph stand out. It’s like creating a painting with a camera, John says, saying that he has done a fair amount of it and that it is a lot of fun to do. His floral photos are printed on canvas so that they look like paintings. All are colourful and one with flowers displayed inside a mason jar is unique. He started out shooting the flowers outside the mason jar but eventually after about five hours of experimentation ended up shooting the flowers displayed inside the mason jar. And if you do view John’s photographs on display at the Richmond library, make sure that you also view his photograph that is hanging on the wall behind the circulation desk as well. This photograph is a scene along the Madawaska River along the White Lake Road near Arnprior, with an early morning mist rising from the scene. John admits that he takes a lot of phoJOHN CURRY/METROLAND tographs, saying that there is a lot of joy in doing photography as a hobby like he does.

John MacDonald is avid photographer Continued from page 26

He got into photography when his brother was going to buy a camera and he decided to join him on the shopping trip. He now has several cameras, all digital. Although photography for him is a hobby, he sometimes does help out a friend of his who is a professional photographer. This has gotten him photographic opportunities “behind the ropes” at the Canadian Open as well as at other sporting events. John readily admits that “photography has grabbed ahold of me.” Day trips to Kingston, Prince Edward County and elsewhere are done with photography in mind. He also takes photos of birds and is always keeping an eye open for possible

shots of any interesting scene of any sort when he is out and about, usually with a camera close at hand. John has been a volunteer at the Munster branch of the Ottawa Public Library, recently retiring from the position although he still helps out with special projects, meriting the title “Special projects facilitator.” John also set up the used book store at the Richmond library branch about a year ago but now wants to retire from looking after its ongoing operation. He is continuing to look after this used book store until the library finds someone new to look after it. Anyone interested in this volunteer task at the Richmond library should contact Rosemary Morrison at the branch.

Memorial service of Munster Union Cemetery John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The annual memorial service of the Munster Union Cemetery will be held on Sunday, Aug. 28 at 2:30 p.m. at the Munster United Church on Munster Road in Munster. Munster Union Cemetery is located in the heart of the community of Munster. The cemetery has held an annual memorial service since 1935.

The Munster Union Cemetery itself dates back to 1886 when Thomas Tubman and his wife, the former Isabella Hill, provided two acres of land as the site for the cemetery. This was due to Mr. Tubman’s belief that the Munster area should have a non-denominational cemetery in its midst to meet the needs of those for whom burial in a church cemetery was not preferred or possible. The Munster Union Cem-

etery Incorporated looked after the Munster Union Cemetery from its beginnings until 1942 when the operation of the cemetery was turned over to a Board of Trustees. The original two acre site of the Munster Union Cemetery has grown in recent years. In February, 1980, a parcel of land was obtained along the south side of the original cemetery.

Celebration at Richmond library

More land for Munster Union Cemetery

John Curry

In April, 2002, land was obtained extending the cemetery property west to the Munster Road. However, this parcel of land only included the land on the south side of the access road into the original cemetery site. Extensive fundraising and donations enabled the Board of Trustees to purchase this parcel of land, thus ensuring that the cemetery would never become landlocked.

john.curry@metroland.com

The TD Summer Reading Club at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library has reached and indeed will be surpassing its goal of 2500 books read during the summer. This is a cause for celebration and so that’s just what’s going to happen – a celebration. This End of Summer

Celebration is happening on Saturday, Aug. 27 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. All youngsters, whether members of the TD Summer Reading Club or not, are welcome to attend. And what a celebration it will be! There will be a Storywalk outside in the backyard at the library, featuring the story “It’s a Tiger.” This will be similar to a Storywalk which was held recently by

Richmond

the Munster library branch. But there will be more! There will be some children’s activities as well as treats and prizes. There has been generous support from the Richmond TD Bank branch to fund these treats and to donate these prizes. And this celebration will go ahead rain or shine. The Storywalk, for example, will take place inside the library branch if it rains.

Continued from page 27

As for the land on the north side of the access road, extending from the original cemetery to the Munster Road, this was acquired by the Board of Trustees thanks to a donation made by Ronald and Patricia Potter in memory of Charles Harry Potter and Irene Marcellus Hobbs, the parents of Ronald Potter. A monument now stands at the front of this land recognizing this donation. With the acquisition of

the land out to the Munster Road, the Munster Union Cemetery proceeded with another project, a granite post fence. The first of these engraved granite fence posts, each donated by a family or families with ties to the Munster Union Cemetery, were erected in 2006, with more erected subsequently, completing the granite post fence across the Munster Road frontage of the cemetery.

66th wedding anniversary at Richmond Lodge Special to the News

Residents Art and Edith Smith reThere’s been a 66th wedding anniversary at the cently celebrated 66 years of marriage. Richmond Lodge Retirement Residence on Perth Art and Edith (Baldwin) Smith met Street in Richmond. on April 15, 1049 in Chilliwack, B.C. Art, from Shellbrook, SK, was a young Sapper with the Canadian Army while Edith, who is from Manitoba, was working at one of the local hospitals. They married on Aug. 5, 1950. The couple have raised four children and have eight grandchildren and 13 great

grandchildren, with number 14 due this coming October. Their daughter Gwen sums up her parents’ marriage as follows: “Mom and dad are great role models of how to keep a marriage strong. They have been married for 66 years and I look at them and I know that my husband and I are going to be the same way with our marriage. After I was of age to stay at home by myself, my mom had gone back to work. At that time my dad was work-

ing with the Roman Catholic School Board and at first mom would go and just help him. Then she put in an application for a job and that is when they started working together. I don’t know of too many couples who are married and can be with each other 24/7 but mom and dad make it look easy. They have had their ups and downs but their love for each other and for their kids, grandchildren and great grandchildren grows stronger every day.”

Art and Edith Smith, current residents at the Richmond Lodge Retirement Residence in Richmond, stand together on their wedding day on Aug. 5, 1950.

Later start at Frederick Banting John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Students at the Frederick Banting Alternative Program in Stittsville will be starting classes a little later starting in September. At its May 24 meeting, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board of Trustees approved a bell start time change for Frederick Banting Alternative Program from the current 8:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. for the 2016-2017 school year. This change has been made as the location of the Frederick Banting Alternative Program site in Stittsville presents a transportation issue for many students. OC Transpo service is limited to 30 minute cycles in Stittsville and such bus transportation is important as the majority of students attending the program at the Frederick Banting Alterative Program do not live in the immediate area of the site and thus rely on OC Transpo bussing. As a result of the limited schedule serving the site, student attendance between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. is considerably reduced. The hope is that student attendance will improve with the change in the bell start time to 9 a.m. from the current 8:30 a.m. This bell start time change will not negatively impact any student co-op placements which take place involving students of the Frederick Banting Alternative Program. The Frederick Banting Alternative Program is located in the former Stittsville Public School facility on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

The mere carrying on of a business with a view to make a profit with one or more other person is sufficient to create a partnership in law. A partnership in Ontario is governed by the Partnerships Act. The Partnerships Act sets out a framework that governs the relationship between the partners to each other, and the partners and the public, but allows the partners wide latitude to structure their relationship the way that they determine by agreement among the partners. Absent a partnership agreement, the default provisions of the Partnerships Act govern. For example, under the default provisions of the Partnerships Act: all the partners are entitled to share equally in the capital and profits of the business, and must contribute equally towards the losses; no partner may be expelled by majority vote; any partner may determine (terminate) the partnership at will by notice to the other partners. There are many other default provisions, and many matters not addressed by the Partnerships Act, that may surprise the unwary. About Allan Snelling Allan Snelling LLP is Kanata’s full-service law firm. Collaborative in approach and focused on solutions, our dedicated team of lawyers and support staff are committed to client satisfaction. We recognize that each client is unique and our firm has been structured to meet the diverse legal needs of every person and business in Kanata and the surrounding community.

About J. Robert Allan Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

A Partnership Agreement allows the partners to determine what their rights and obligations are to each other. Typical provisions in a partnership agreement include obligations and entitlements for sharing profits (& losses) and capital, decision making, signing authority, admission and expulsion of partners, what happens in circumstances of partner incapacity, retirement or death and breakdown between the partners. Subject to certain provisions of the Partnerships Act that cannot be avoided, a partnership may be constructed as the partners desire, giving this form of business relationship extraordinary flexibility. All partners of a partnership are jointly liable with each other for all debts of the partnership. A partnership has no separate legal existence from the partners and the partners do not enjoy limited liability as do shareholders of a corporation. While partnerships are useful in the right circumstances, it is prudent to determine before you start business if a partnership is the right business vehicle, and if it is, the advisability of a partnership agreement.

Helping to power the revolution in cancer research Written by: Andrea Douglas In 2008, the inaugural year ofTHE RIDE (formerly Ride the Rideau), Gary Milks joined his co-workers the Brick Peddlers from Merkley Supply and hopped on his bike for a 100km ride for this important cancer fundraiser. It was tough going. A week before the ride he had injured his shoulder while playing hockey. By the 85 km mark, he couldn’t feel his arm. Massage personnel en route jumped in and helped alleviate some of the pain and he was able to finish – barely. In year two, Gary decided to take a pass on the actual biking, but not on THE RIDE. Since then, he has been working as part of the weekend set up crew.The funny thing is this job is more work than actually riding.

But more than the pride of working on such an incredible event, for Gary, it’s about the personal stories of cancer all around him that drive his passion for volunteering forThe Ottawa Hospital. That first year of the event, Gary had lost a neighbour, a young mother, to breast cancer. Pancreatic cancer claimed the life of a cherished aunt. And this past December, he lost eight family members to cancer. “It touches everybody,” he says. And it’s why he volunteers faithfully. Because he wants to give back and he wants to see this terrible disease beaten.

“The good thing physically about the bike ride is that after four or five hours you’re done,” he chuckles. “But on the operations crew, the work starts by 6 am and doesn’t finish until 10 pm.”

Whether it’s driving the big trucks, or setting up and tearing down the course, or dropping off water and oranges at the feed stations, he gets a good feeling from being involved with the event.

As the IT manager for Merkley Supply, a proud sponsor ofTHE RIDE, Gary wouldn’t dream of missing this event. It’s the most successful one-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just six years, it’s raised more than $10 million for cancer research atThe Ottawa Hospital.

And was he disappointed when torrential rains meantThe Ride was called off last fall?

He says the Merkley office is covered with pictures and plaques of the Brick 30 Stittsville News - Thursday, August 18, 2016

Peddlers from year to year. And that daily reminder of what this event can accomplish instills in him a real sense of pride.

“Sure, I was sorry it didn’t happen,” he says, “But the money was still raised. And that’s really what it’s all about.” Join Gary and the hundreds of volunteers who are powering the revolution in cancer research. Register today at DoTheRide.ca

Bruce Wilson of Richmond fiddling around for decades John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

There’s a “Bruce Wilson Waltz” composed by Canadian old time fiddling icon Calvin Vollrath of Alberta. The tune is included on Bruce Wilson’s own 2002 fiddling CD “From The Heart” on which Calvin was one of the participating musicians. And, as Calvin’s own website proclaims, “When Calvin writes a tune for an individual, a place or an event, he has an uncanny sense of capturing their personality or expressing its atmosphere.” His song writing ability was recognized when Calvin was commissioned to compose five fiddle tunes for the opening ceremony at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, with each tune representing one of the styles of diddling which Canada has to offer. So, when Calvin writes a fiddle tune with your name attached to it or when he performs on your CD recording, you know that you are among the elite of fiddling. And that’s what Richmond’s Bruce Wilson is as he has just recently turned 80 years old and yet continues to perform regularly at local seniors residences and groups, averaging about two performances a week. It’s been quite a musical journey for Bruce who was born on a farm along the old Richmond Road in the Fallowfield area. Bruce’s first exposure to fiddling music came on the family farm when he heard the Don Messer Show on

radio. Indeed, he was the only one in the family who showed any interest in fiddle music. But although his own family never had a fiddle in the house, there was a nearby family which was renowned locally for its musical ability – Reuben Rooney, a gifted fiddle player, and his two sons, Earl, another fiddler, and Gerry, a pianist. Bruce, in fact, declares that even to this day, he has never heard someone with a musical gift like Reuben had. He says that if it was the last time that he could hear a fiddler, he would want it to be Reuben who was a blacksmith by trade. And don’t forget, Bruce has heard such iconic fiddlers as Graham Townsned and Ward Allen and yet Reuben Rooney of Fallowfield is his choice. The Rooney family played at Christmas and on other occasions at the church Bruce attended. He remembers where he used to sit on such occasions and how he would close his eyes on such occasions and pretend he was listening to Don Messer himself. Bruce says that while the fiddling Rooney’s were an inspiration to him, he himself did not get a fiddle until his teenage years. He simply asked his mother at the kitchen table one day if he could get a fiddle and she surprisingly said “yes.” But Bruce recalls that when he did get his fiddle home, the sounds that he made were nothing like those Rooney sounds that enthralled him. Bruce frankly says that they were not environmentally friendly sounds. He took some lessons from Earl Rooney but they lasted only about a year and he did not learn much as he had other things taking up his time

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Bruce Wilson of Richmond plays his fiddle. Now 80 years old, he has loved fiddle music since he was young and has been playing in public for 40 years after years of confining his play to “the bathroom.” like his schooling at South Carleton High School, girls and hockey. There was just not much time for the fiddle. But when he was off to Queens University in Kingston for chemical engineering, he did take his fiddle with him, keeping it hidden under his bed and only taking it out to play if no one else was around. After graduation, he worked in various places like Sault Ste. Marie, Hamilton and Montreal but after a couple of years, he returned to the Ottawa area to work in the federal government. He ended up retiring in 1994 after 22 years in the government. Music, though, remained in his life during these years as he continued to work at it, although he played, as he says, “in the bathroom with the door closed.” He says that his music did not leave the bathroom for years although he loved to play and could not wait to retreat to the bathroom to play. But he knew how horrible his music was sounding. So, as he approached 40 years of age, he still had never played in public nor did he particularly want to. But then he started playing informally with some piano players

and other fiddlers. He says that when you play with others, that’s when your playing really starts to improve. And his sure did! He began playing with little groups in public and at the fiddle clubs which had become popular, sprouting up in various areas like Barrhaven, Lakeside Gardens, Osgoode and North Gower, with fiddlers often involved with more than one. In the mid 1980’s, Bruce even started entering fiddling competitions thanks to lots of encouragement from others. It was a “long ways from the bathroom,” he notes. He even competed at the Shelburne Canadian Open Fiddle Championships for a number of years. Bruce admits that fiddling competitions are “intimidating” and “always nerve wracking,” as they involve playing alone on stage with a microphone while three judges stare at you, looking for mistakes. In his competitive years at Shelburne, he sometimes made the intermediate class finals, although not always. He considers making these finals his “high water mark” as a fiddler. See FIDDLER, page 33

Fiddler Bruce Wilson played with ‘The Country Kings’ for dozen years Continued from page 31

He notes that making the intermediate class finals at Shelburne was a big accomplishment for himself as he did not start playing in public until he was 40 years old. What Bruce always liked most about the Shelburne experience was the “camaraderie” which prevailed, with everyone there experiencing a sense of belonging as they were all there for the same reason – fiddling. “All the good ones were there,” Bruce says of the Shelburne competition, citing fiddlers such as Graham Townend who won the Shelburne Canadian Open Fiddle Championship in 1963, 1968, 1969 and 1970. This open class drew professional career musicians such as Townend. Others who helped make Shelburne such an attraction included Ward Allen who won the open class in 1953 before going on to perform with the Happy Wanderers on CFRA radio from 1955 to 1964, Ned Landry who won the open class in 1956, 1957 and 1962 and Ed Gyurki who won the open class numerous times. Bruce’s own final appearance at the Shelburne event was as a judge, not as a competitor. He says judging in fiddling competitions is like

judging in figure skating where the opinion of the “person with the pencil” is what counts. In his own judging, Bruce always looked for a fiddler’s intonation and the danceability of the music. “When someone plays the waltz, does it do anything for you,” is how he explains danceability. Bruce is a great fan of Ward Allen whose “Maple Sugar” recording was a hit in both the United States and Canada in 1957 and is now considered a classic of the Canadian fiddle repertoire. He says that Ward Allen, who died in 1965, had a magic sound on the violin, a sound which no one has been able to duplicate because it was so unique. Bruce himself eventually joined a band “The Country Kings” which performed mainly in the east end of the Ottawa area. He stayed with the band for a dozen years until about 1997. He calls “The Country Kings” the “best band I ever played for” as it played the “best music I’ve ever been associated with,” noting that the band had a unique sound. And while it was a paid gig for Bruce, he readily admits that he would have played for free, pointing out that when you are doing something that you love to do, it is not a matter of

money. Indeed, Bruce notes that for someone like himself who played in his bathroom for ten years, performing with a band at such a level was amazing. “I used to pinch myself,” he says, never having imagined that he would ever play in a popular band like “The Country Kings” were. His years with “The Country Kinds” were busy. He not only played on Friday and Saturday nights with the band, getting back home about two or three in the early morning, but he had his job, his family (wife and two children) and also his teaching as he had become a fiddle instructor as well. Bruce got into teaching by accident, as it were, as he had always felt that he was not qualified for it. His first student was the late Daniel “Danny” O’Connell of Almonte who died at the age of 24 in 2004. Danny’s mother had asked Bruce about lessons to which Bruce replied that he did not teach, feeling unqualified. Bur Danny’s mother persisted and eventually Bruce agreed, leading to a lengthy teaching relationship and Bruce becoming friends with the family. Bruce then began taking on other students, with his chief rule be-

ing that his students had to learn to read music. This ensured that the music would be played the way that it was written i.e. a country waltz would be played exactly the way that it should sound. Another of his students was Alexis MacIsaac of Stittsville whom he calls “another dream person.” When he was first approached about instructing Alexis, he was reluctant because he does not play Scottish music which was Alexis’ type of music. However, he did end up taking her on as a student and Alexis flourished under his tutelage, even competing in contests for the first time. Alexis, of course, went on to tour as a fiddler with the Irish dance group Riverdance.” Bruce is full of praise for Alexis, saying “she had that presence that is absolutely so rare.” Bruce, who no longer teaches students, says that he enjoyed his years teaching, adding that if he had thought earlier that he was qualified to do it, he would have begun teaching earlier. Bruce was involved with the Canadian Grand Masters fiddling competition at Centrepointe for a number of years, serving on the Board and being involved with an associated summer fiddle camp.

Bruce turned 80 years old on May 14, marking the milestone with a celebration featuring lots of great music and card playing. Bruce says that he has been so fortunate in the timing of his fiddling career. In his youth, as he was getting interested and started, he was able to hear Ward Allen on CFRA radio every noon, something which he never missed. And then there were fiddlers like Graham Townsend in the 1960’s which Bruce terms “the golden age of fiddling,” especially with the rise to prominence of the competition at Shelburne. In his career, Bruce has had about five fiddles and he currently has three fiddles with one of them being the fiddle that he has used most of the time over the past 25 years. He says that he has been “going steady with my fiddle quite a while.” Bruce gives a lot of credit to his wife Barbara whom he calls “my significant musical advisor” as well as the “best cheering fan I’ve ever had.”

He says that he respects her judgement for picking fiddle tunes as evidenced by her input on the selection of tunes included in Bruce’s 2002 CD. See SHELBURNE, page 34

Shelburne and Pembroke competitions Kassis family operates Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria Continued from page 33

He notes that Barbara has always attended his competitive performances, often sitting for hours and giving him great support. They will have been married for 50 years in October this year. The Shelburne competition, renamed as the Shelburne Heritage Music Festival after 65 years as the Canadian Open

Fiddle Championship, took place earlier this month. The Pembroke Old Time Fiddle and Stepdancing Championships, another major fiddling competition, offering over $20,000 in prize money and trophies, takes place on Sept. 2 and 3 in Pembroke.

Since opening in 1984, JoJo’s Pizzeria has revolutionized with the ever-growing Stittsville community. They have expanded premises, increased charitable contributions as well as added a wider variety to their menu. In the 20 years that the Kassis family has operated JoJo’s, one thing that hasn’t change is how the pizza is made; with the freshest and best ingredients available. This was the mantra of Marwan Kassis, who ran the business for two decades, and it continues to be the guiding principle for his children – Rebecca, Zeyad, Natasha and Fatina – who took over the business in 2012. Rebecca Kassis points out, as things changed and expanded over the years, JoJo’s still ensures that all of the ingredients used for its pizza are the best including fresh dough and fresh vegetables. She says that Jo-Jo’s still goes by her father’s belief that every pizza should

be made as if it were being served to his own family. Add this to cooking it perfectly, providing good service, treating all customers with friendliness and courtesy, and you have the recipe of success for Jo-Jo’s. And you have lots of satisfied customers who keep coming back. Jo-Jo’s does have customers that come from a distance just for pizza. Every summer, for instance, a group of motorcyclists from afar have an annual outing to travel to Jo-Jo’s where they have lunch before returning home. “We put so much into our pizzas,” Rebecca says, referring not only to the ingredients but also to the efforts to make the pizza the best that it can be. This includes the freshest of dough and sauce that is made in-house. This year Jo-Jo’s is celebrating its success in a special way. Jo-Jo’s has added a Monday/Tuesday customer appreciation special to show their thankfulness of those who made them a landmark

in Stittsville. There are also various specials and promotions being offered throughout the year as Jo-Jo’s gives back to the community which has supported them over the years. These specials will be available at all locations. Giving back has always been important to Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria. Over the years, it has supported community fundraising activities, while also sponsoring local sports teams. Indeed, this year alone Jo-Jo’s had sponsored 85 hockey and ringette teams, a number that keeps growing with each passing season. With such sponsorship, each team gets to enjoy a pizza party which Jo-Jo’s hosts. Rebecca notes that some of these teams include the children of some of those who used to work at Jo-Jo’s when they were teenagers and who are now adults with their own families in the community. “We try to give back as much as we can,” Rebecca says. See JO-JO’S, page 35

Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria now has three locations Continued from page 34

A new kitchen was set up to produce these new foods, which are all homemade using the freshest ingredients. It’s the same philosophy which has applied to Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria over the years. But this was not all. Jo-Jo’s now offers a wider variety of pizzas than ever before because that is what customers are seeking. For instance, Jo-Jo’s offers gluten free and whole wheat pizza. The expansion also included adding tables and chairs for eatin customers and also renovating the upstairs into a large party room that can seat up to 60 people. This is where the sports teams have their pizza parties but also is a place where birthday parties and other gatherings can be held. This expansion also saw Jo-Jo’s add a parking lot on the north side of the building. This makes it more convenient for customers, including those who are picking up their food, who will be eating on the premises or who will be upstairs in the party room. It also makes it more convenient for Jo-Jo’s delivery drivers who can now pull around to the rear of the building to load up the pizzas for delivery. In pre-parking lot days, customers and delivery vehicles would park along the street, with the drivers crossing the road to get to Jo-Jo’s. Jo-Jo’s has not only expanded in recent years at its Stittsville Main Street location but it has also opened a second location in the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and

Terry Fox Drive. It offers the same quality pizza, subs and more that Jo-Jo’s has become known for over the years. With the Kassis family members on site, Jo-Jo’s Fernbank offers the same delicious food and friendly customer service that are in line with the Jo-Jo’s tradition. Indeed, this new location on Fernbank Road features a modern design and an open concept kitchen so that customers can see how their food is being prepared. Again, it’s like the youngster standing on the chair at the Stittsville Main Street location to see how the pizza is produced – people are interested in how pizza is made! And Jo-Jo’s has not stopped at two locations. Jo-Jo’s has just opened another location at 4048 Carling Avenue in Kanata North. This third location includes a cutting-edge modern design that customers are sure to love. Another change brought by the second generation of the Kassis family includes the introduction of Jo-Jo’s pizza boxes. Up until then, plain white pizza boxes were used, just like any other pizza business. But Jo-Jo’s switched to green and red coloured boxes with JoJo’s printed on them – they are distinctive. Indeed, Rebecca jokes that you can now go along a street on garbage day and see who gets their pizzas from Jo-Jo’s just by the used boxes placed in their recycling bin. Jo-Jo’s has many customers who pick up their pizzas. Their eat-in portion of the business is growing, but there’s still lots of deliveries done. Jo-Jo’s delivers not only in Stittsville but to Richmond, Munster, Kanata, Bells Corners and elsewhere. Jo-Jo’s is seeing an increasing number of lunchtime deliveries as well, particularly to workplaces. Jo-Jo’s has the same two pizza ovens that it has had over the years but it added two more as the business has grown. With four ovens, Jo-Jo’s can cook 24 large pizzas at one time. And during the busy times on Friday and Saturday evenings, all four ovens are going full out. Jo-Jo’s Fernbank was opened with four ovens, so it has plenty of capacity to meet the ever-growing demand that it is experiencing. Rebecca says that it was never a sure thing that Jo-Jo’s would be continued with she and her siblings running the business. She points out that her brother is a Chartered Accountant and one of her sisters is a hairdresser. One thing is sure SUBMITTED that they all love working together Members of the Kassis family who are now running Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria are, in a family business and, more imfront row, from left, Natasha Rohani, Rebecca Kassis with young Oliver portantly perhaps, they love the Reid and Lacey Kassis, and, back row, from left, Fatina Reid, Ricardo pizza business. Reid, Zeyad Kassis and Texson Green. See TREATING, page 36 She points out that 2016 has seen an even greater focus on this. In 2016, Jo-Jo’s has been offering giveaways and contests every week on Facebook. So, following Jo-Jo’s on Facebook would be a good idea if you want to take advantage of winning a tasty meal for your family! There have also been other initiatives happening this year, such as Jo-Jo’s first-ever pizza making instruction session in its upstairs party room. This program is not only fun for the whole family, but gives back to the community with 100 percent of its proceeds going to charities. The response to this initiative when announced on Facebook was so great that JoJo’s decided to hold more of these sessions. Even City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councilor Shad Qadri was in attendance at the initial one to show his support. One of these pizza making days was held on Sunday, July 3. There’s a lot of interest, it seems, in learning how to make pizza. And this should come as no surprise. At Jo-Jo’s, it is not unusual to have a youngster standing on a chair to see over the counter and watch how the pizza is being made. When Rebecca and her siblings took over the business from their father in 2012, they expanded and renovated the Stittsville Main Street premises. In addition, they expanded the menu, adding Lebanese foods and shawarma, all made with the same attention to freshness and care as the pizzas.

Mayor’s Report OTTAWA WELCOMES YOUNG TALENT FROM AROUND THE WORLD FOR ONE YOUNG WORLD SUMMIT By: Mayor Jim Watson

Last fall, I had the pleasure of attending the One Young World Summit in Bangkok, Thailand, where I received the Summit’s “baton”from the Governor of the Bangkok’s Metropolitan Authority, confirming Ottawa as host of One Young World 2016. The baton is proudly displayed at City Hall, until it is time for me to relay it to the 2017 host city. The One Young World Summit is the largest gathering of nations behind the Summer Olympic Games, designed to bring together young people from across the globe to create lasting, meaningful relationships that empower them to create positive change at home and abroad. Since its inception in 2009, One Young World has hosted 7,300 delegates between the ages of 18 and 30, with a further 1,300 expected from 196 countries for the 2016 Summit in Ottawa. The annual One Young World Summit brings together the most valuable young talent from global and national companies, NGOs, universities and other forward-thinking organisations. Delegates to the Summit network with peers from across all spectrums of private industry, the public sector and our world. They will debate, formulate and share innovative solutions for the pressing issues the world faces. No youth led movement outside of the Olympic Games represents as many nationalities as the One Young World Summit. As an innovative, vibrant and welcoming city, I am proud to greet these young future leaders to our Nation’s Capital this fall. While in Ottawa, they will also have the opportunity to hear and be heard by talented Counsellors, such as former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, Sir Bob Geldof, Professor Muhammad Yunus, Chef Jamie Oliver and Cher, who will attend the Summit in order to mentor these talented youth. Hopeful delegates from around the world - and Ottawa of course – can still apply to attend by submitting an online application: www.oneyoungworld.com/attend-summit-2016.

Stittsville District Lions Club presents awards Special to the News

The Stittsville District Lions Club has honoured a number of its members with awards recognizing accomplishments and achievements in various Lions initiatives. Included among these awards were some of the most prestigious and highest awards available for presentation to Lions Club members including the Melvin Jones Fellowship, the Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship Award and the Helen Keller Award. A Melvin Jones Fellowship award was presented to Lion Wayne Beaten in recognition of his humanitarian service in Lions activities, exhibiting generosity, compassion and concern for the less fortunate. The Melvin Jones Fellowship, named after Melvin Jones who was the founder of Lions International, is considered the highest honour bestowed in Lionism. The Judge Brian Stevenson Fellowship Award, one of the highest honours presented in Lionism in Canada, was presented to Lion Ron Armstrong in recognition of his achievement and involvement in the community. The Helen Keller Award, another prestigious honour in Lionism, was presented to John Curry who is an honourary member of the Stittsville District Lions Club. This award honours a Lion for his or her outstanding contribution to Lionism in the community. The Harry A. Newman Diabetes Award was presented to Lion Beth Lewis to recognize her commitment to the work of the Lions in supporting the Canadian

Diabetes Association. There are nine million Canadians living with diabetes. Three members of the Stittsville District Lions Club were presented with a Life Membership in the Lions Foundation of Canada which is involved in supporting the training and provision of service dogs to Canadians. Receiving a Life Membership in the Lions Foundation of Canada were Lions Helen Culbert, Murray Grant and Darryl Metzger. The Knights of Lake Joe Award was presented to Lions Jack Burke, Ed Meunier and Ed Verbiwski. The Knights of Lake Joe Award recognizes a Lions Club member’s commitment to the Lake Joseph Centre (commonly referred to as ‘Lake Joe’) which offers recreational opportunities for those of all ages living with vision loss. The CNIB’s Lake Joseph Centre is a fully accessible lakefront facility in the Muskoka area. The CNIB and the Lions in Ontario work together to provide financial assistance to those who want to visit the Lake Joseph Centre. Perfect attendance pins for the 20152016 Lions year were presented to Lions Club members Ron Armstrong, Wayne Beaten, Jack Burke, Don Carson, Helen Culbert, John Curry, Murray Grant, Robert Gregory, Beth Lewis, Bob Lewis, Gord MacIsaac, Ted Martin, Esmail Merani, Karim Merani, Darryl Metzger, Ed Meunier, Brenda Miller, Don Redtman, Paul Riddell, Gerry Robillard, Bernie St. John, Joe Southall, Ed Verbiwski, Don Zogalo and Albert Zoschke.

Awards of Appreciation honouring Lions Club members who had taken leadership roles in Lions projects in the past year were presented to Brenda Miller for the daffodil campaign in support of the Canadian Cancer Society, to Beth Lewis in the Club’s annual fundraiser at Christmas time and to Robert Gregory for the Club’s involvement in the Big Bike event in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. An Achievement Award was presented to Wayne Beaten for his work on the Club’s sale of Christmas cakes and on the Club’s public speaking program. A President’s Appreciation Award was presented to Lion Ron Armstrong for all of his work looking after the Club’s Medical Centre building. Appreciation Awards were also presented to Lion Murray Grant for his work as the Club’s treasurer and to Lion Ed Meunier for his work as the Club’s secretary. Lions District Governor Kris Schulz helped in the presentation of these awards to Stittsville District Lions Club members. In addition, she presented a unique 100th anniversary silver pin to three Lions Club members who sponsored a new Lions member in the past year. They have been recognized as a Silver Centennial Lion as part of Lionism’s Centennial Celebration Membership Awards. Stittsville Lions Jack Burke, Don Redtman and Don Zogalo were presented with a limited edition Silver Centennial Lions pin.

ENSUITE

Cardel is no stranger to this haven on the Mississippi. Its Stonewater Bay community was a big hit with buyers looking to embrace an executive riverside lifestyle. Now, with the arrival of Miller’s Crossing, even more families can enjoy the tranquil charm of Carleton Place, surrounded by urban conveniences. Featuring brand new plans exclusive to this special community, Miller’s Crossing will offer a range of affordable options for buyers new to the area or looking to move within a town they already love.

Regardless of the style they choose – a single-family home, townhome or a condo (coming soon) – Miller’s Crossing buyers will ﬁnd lower prices than those for comparable homes in nearby communities like Kanata or Stittsville, without sacriﬁcing a convenient commute or neighbourhood charm. The community’s location is sure to be popular with DND employees moving to the new Kanata HQ, just a short drive from home. Cardel’s sales centre will open on August 22 at noon at Unit 1C, 515 McNeely Ave., next to Starbucks in the commercial park at McNeely and Highway 7. For sales centre hours and to register for updates, visit www.cardelhomes.com

BEDROOM #4

BONUS ROOM

Miller’s Crossing will launch with 15 new single-family floorplans, expected to start in the low $400s. Plans include four bungalow designs plus a variety of two-storey layouts available on two lot sizes, with several elevation styles to choose from, including Canadiana, contemporary and traditional exteriors. Each home style is designed to complement the nature-draped surroundings and contribute to attractive neighbourhood streetscapes. For those looking to embrace the easy life, Cardel’s townhomes will combine low-maintenance convenience and affordability. With seven floorplans to choose from, townhomes in Miller’s Crossing include high specification standards and come loaded with features – a great way to enjoy Cardel craftsmanship at a low price point.

Surrounded by nature, including parks, a pond and a community centre, Miller’s Crossing is located adjacent to greenspace protected from future development. Residents can take advantage of nearby shopping within walking distance, including Canadian Tire, Starbucks, Walmart, Tim Hortons and Independent Grocer. With its full calendar of local events and year-round recreation opportunities, Carleton Place has a sense of community all its own.

Cardel Homes is coming back to Carleton Place! Building on the success of its Stonewater Bay community, Cardel is poised to launch 15 new single-family designs in Miller’s Crossing this summer, with townhomes and condos soon to follow. Upon completion, Miller’s Crossing will showcase 288 homes, making it the largest masterplanned community in Carleton Place.

WHEN LIFE BECOMES AN ART WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT AN ELEGANT, MODERN BUILDING THAT COMBINES LUXURIOUS APARTMENTS, A BOUTIQUE HOTEL AND A MAGNIFICENT ART GALLERY – ALL IN AN IDEAL SETTING IN DOWNTOWN OTTAWA? THAT’S WHAT DEVMCGILL IS OFFERING, IN COLLABORATION WITH THE OTTAWA ART GALLERY, THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA AND GROUPE GERMAIN. LOVERS OF CULTURE AS WELL AS SEEKERS OF A UNIQUE LIFESTYLE IN THE HEART OF URBAN HUSTLE WILL BE DELIGHTED. DevMcGill, which has been crowned Entrepreneur of the Year and is the winner of the prestigious Montréal Architectural Heritage Award, is a key real estate promoter in Canada. The Arthaus project combines its unmatched savoir-faire and standout audacity. For the first time in Canada, a residential tower will combine luxury condominiums, an art gallery and a boutique hotel. Residents are immersed in culture in the heart of Ottawa. SUMPTUOUS CONDOMINIUMS The 89 condos located between the 15th and 23rd floors (including four penthouses) offer a breathtaking panorama of Ottawa and the surrounding area, no matter where the apartments are located. On the east are vistas of trees, houses and historic buildings, as well as University of Ottawa campus; on the west, the view of downtown, Parliament and its magical evening spectacles is unbeatable; and finally, on the north the hills surrounding the Ottawa Valley

to the north of Gatineau rise proudly on the horizon. All the condos have at least one bedroom, a living room, a dining room and a bathroom (two in the two-bedroom units) with glassed-in showers and rainshower showerheads. They also have an elegant open-plan kitchen, the work of Toronto designer U31, with built-in European appliances. Two condominiums can be joined together to provide three bedrooms. The penthouses have two or three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room (convenient for guest!), along with a gas stove in a kitchen and an outdoor gas fitting that makes barbecuing easier. A gas fireplace can also be installed. In order to personalize the décor to their own tastes, owners are invited to chose from a range of top-end finishes selected by famous designers. Besides the choice of materials, they get expert advice on how to configure and personalize their space. On request, an ultramodern home automation system can be installed in the penthouses to control lighting, music and the alarm system. Another characteristic of these condominiums: exceptional lighting, featuring immense bay windows and ceilings 9 to 10 feet high (14 in the penthouses). Most of these apartments, and all the penthouses, have a balcony or loggia terrace. You’ll feel like you’re practically in the clouds, with the City of Ottawa at your feet!

Stittsville 56ers lose opening playoff game by 8-3 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Stittsville 56ers lost 8-3 in their opening Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoff game against West Carleton Electric but the five-run margin of victory betrayed how close it was for much of the game. Indeed, it was only 4-3 for West Carleton Electric when Stittsville loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning. But Stittsville was unable to push across

any runs and West Carleton went on to add four runs in the top of the seventh inning to make it 8-3. Even then, the 56ers did not give up, with a walk to Ryan Bond and a single by Dan Jessiman putting two runners on base for Stittsville in the bottom of the seventh inning. However, this rally ended when two Stittsville batters struck out, ending the game. West Carleton Electric scored a run in the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead in the game which was played at Alexander

Grove diamond in Stittsville. Stittsville came back with two runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a 2-1 lead. Aaron Amo singled, stole second and scored on Dan Jessiman’s double. Dan then scored on Luc D’Entremont’s double down the line in left. West Carleton scored two runs in the second inning to take a 3-2 lead, adding another run in the top of the third inning to make it 4-2. Stittsville responded by scoring a run in the bottom of the third inning to cut the West Carleton Electric lead to one run, 4-3. Dan Jessiman scored the Stittsville run when his brother Scott tripled deep to right centre field. The score was 4-3 when Stittsville loaded the bases in the bottom of the fourth inning, only to come away empty handed

in the inning. Kyle Olson pitched all seven innings for the 56ers in this game, taking the loss. Dan Jessiman and John Craig both had two hits in the game for the 56ers.

The recent closure of the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library to accommodate improvements and renovations including new carpeting came 16 years after the facility was opened. It was on Monday, Feb. 14, 2000 that this then-newly constructed facility was first opened to the public. Cost of the new library facility which saw the branch triple in size from the previous 4,000 square feet to 12,000 square feet was $1.3 million. The official

opening of the branch took place on Friday, March 24, 2000 with Library Board chair Jim Gillick cutting the ribbon, assisted by Goulbourn township chief librarian Dorothy McGinn and Goulbourn township mayor Janet Stavinga. The sod turning for the expanded library branch had taken place the previous July with McDonald Bros. Construction as the general contractor. George Nichols was the architect. The construction had been ongoing since the sod

turning, with the existing library branch closed to the public from Jan. 31, 2000 to Feb. 13 to allow for the move into the new expanded facility. The existing facility, which became part of the newer, larger library branch, was then vacated and renovated as part of the project. At 12,000 square feet in total, the new Stittsville library branch was three times the size of the previous 4,000 square foot premises which became part of the larger library. Attendance figures in the first weeks of

the opening of this new expanded library branch showed a substantial increase in the number of visitors to the library. The third week saw a 30 percent increase in the number of visitors from the previous statistics in the smaller previous facility. In addition, the length of visits by patrons to the library was seen to increase, a d eve l o p m e n t attributed to the additional seating in the expanded facility. For instance, whereas the previous smaller facility had seating for 12 in the reference area, the

UR O Y T E L DON’ T SE A E L E L VEHIC N. W O D U O CHAIN Y T. U O T S U B

new reference area had seating for 26 patrons. The new library also had about 80 percent more shelving and was totally climate controlled. At the official opening, long time (1981-1998) Stittsville branch librarian Sharon Ashton, who passed away in 1998, was remembered and honoured with the hanging of a painting by artist Stephen Rothwell over the gas fireplace that was a feature in the newly expanded library branch. The painting was provided by

the Friends of the Goulbourn Public Library. The library in Stittsville began in the fall of 1972 when Stittsville was still a separate incorporated village with the creation of the first Stittsville Library Board. The library was initially located at the Stittsville Public School before moving to a 600 square foot space in the village municipal office at the site of the present library. The Stittsville library’s original collection in 1972 totalled 500 books. In 2000, when this new expanded 12,000 square

foot Stittsville library branch opened, the collection was over 69,000 books, with an annual circulation of 131,000 items. A m o n g those thanked for their contri-

butions to the new expanded Stittsville library branch in 2000 were CDS Rentals for providing a tractor trailer for storage of the library’s books during the construc-

tion period; Bradley’s Your Independent Grocer for the donation of two park benches for the exterior of the new library; David Kardish and the Regional Group

of Companies for donating the gas fireplace feature in the new library; and Friends of the Goulbourn Public Library for the finishing work around the gas fireplace.

MARY COOK Memories The invitation came in the mail, which in itself was unusual. It was to a wedding of a cousin, who Mother said was once removed. I thought that meant the family had been thrown out of Renfrew County. But apparently that wasn’t the case, because as long as I could remember they lived near Douglas. Getting an invitation in the mail was unusual because most people in the community were all invited to weddings on the church steps after the Sunday service. The reason ours came in the mail was that I was going to be a flower girl! I wasn’t this excited since the rumour went around that bad Marguirite’s family was moving to some place far away from Northcote. Sadly, there was no truth to that rumour. I had no idea what was expected of a flower girl, but my sister Audrey explained it all to me, and when I heard that I would be getting a new dress and white stockings, I was beside myself. The bride was never consulted when Mother went into Walker’s Stores and bought a powder blue, Swiss dot material, and yards of satin ribbon, and a pair of ankle socks with white lace

Ring bearer’s shenanigans leave lasting memories from wedding around the cuffs. Unfortunately there wasn’t enough in her egg-money sugar bowl to buy new shoes, and I had to wear a pair that had come in the handme-down box from Aunt Lizzie, and which I had long ago outgrown. I knew I was going to be in agony, but to complain could rip me right out of the whole wedding party, so every day, long before the wedding, I crammed my feet into the shoes, hoping they would stretch even a fraction of an inch. The day finally arrived, and all Mother’s praying over her Rosary beads for good weather worked wonders, for the day was bright with not a cloud in the sky, and with a soft breeze blowing to take the heat out of the day. I was amazed that Mother’s Catholic prayers would work in a Lutheran church, and it never occurred to me that the family holding the wedding might be praying too! A young lad was to carry the wedding ring on a satin pillow, and there was no rehearsal. I was just told to walk beside the ring bearer, smile, and look neither left nor right. I had never laid eyes on the lad before, and my first

introduction to him was when he stuck his tongue out at me, and crossed his eyes right on the church steps! My long red ringlets had been up in rags all night, and just as we were about to go into the church, this young whippersnapper grabbed a handful of curls and hissed, “giddy up there horsey” nearly knocking me off my feet. An arm reached out and gave him a good shake, and the two of us headed into the church, leading the way. I knew we were supposed to stand in front of the pulpit until the ceremony was over, but Joey (I found out his name long after the wedding was over) wasn’t having any of that. He plopped himself down on the step, faced the congregation, stuck his tongue out again at me, leaned back against the organ, and promptly fell asleep. Frankly, I was glad he was out of the picture. But soon you could hear the loud snores all over the church. The organist pumped furiously when it came time to sing a hymn, and drowned him out. No one bothered to waken him when the ceremony was over. It was my sister Audrey who told me later that

the minister had to remove the ring from the satin pillow, and he did it ever so gently so that the lad wouldn’t waken and cause another commotion. I never laid eyes on him again. I had plenty to write in my diary that night, and the memory of being part of a wedding lingered in my mind’s eye long after the day was over. The dress became my “going to church dress,” but the shoes would never touch my feet again. One Saturday Mother took them into the Salvation Army in Renfrew to be given to some one in need, and I was back to wearing hateful brown-laced boys shoes, which also came in the hand-me-down box from Regina. Being part of a wedding, wearing a brand new dress, made from store-bought material, not from something Mother had to rip out and make over, made me once again think that the Depression was happening in some other country.

Special to the News

Gelato is the Italian word for ice cream. The biggest difference between North American ice cream and Italian ice cream is the amount of fat and milk used. Italian ice cream has less of both. Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 1.5 hours Cooking time: 8 minutes Chilling time: Overnight Freezing time: Overnight Serves: 4 to 6 persons Ingredients: 1 lb. (500 g) Ontario Italian Prune Plums 2 tbsp (25 ml) Ontario Honey Custard: 1 egg; 1 cup (250 ml)10 percent halfand-half cream; ½ cup (125 ml) milk; 2 tbsp (25 ml) honey. Line an eight inch (20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper. Cut each plum in half but not all the way through and remove pit. Place plums cut side up in prepared plan (they will be snug). Drizzle with honey. Roast in 425 degree F (220 degree C) oven until very soft, darker in colour and caramelized on the bottom, one to one and a half hours. Let cool 10 minutes. Transfer to food processor and process until smooth. Pour into container,

cover and refrigerate overnight. Preparation instructions: Custard: In medium bowl, lightly beat egg; set aside. In small saucepan, over medium heat, whisk together cream, milk and honey until honey is dissolved. Cook until mixture begins to steam. Remove half cup (125 ml) of warm mixture and slowly whisk into beaten egg. Pour warmed egg mixture back into saucepan, whisking gently. Cook, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat back of metal spoon, about eight minutes. Pour into heat proof bowl, place plastic wrap directly on surface and refrigerate overnight. Gently whisk plum puree into custard. Transfer to ice cream machine and follow manufacturer’s directions. Freeze in covered container. For the best flavour and texture, remove from freezer 10 to 15 minutes before scooping and serving. Gelato can be stored in freezer for up to three weeks.

ica. Corn was eaten by native aboriginal peoples before European settlers arrived in North America., The Maya people, for example, had corn as one of their staple food crops, eating it off the cob by either roasting or boiling it. Corn on the cob is usually seasoned with salt and buttered before serving. Some diners used skewers, thrust into the ends of the cob, that enables them to hold the ear of corn while eating without touching the cob itself.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Everyone recognizes your ambition this week, Aries. Channel your energy constructively and don’t be ashamed to pursue your goals so strongly. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, tackle some slow and steady work this week rather than trying to be innovative or unique. There will be a time to innovate later on. Right now you need to prove yourself. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are in the mood to get started on something new over the next few days. Think about some tasks you have been putting off and develop a plan to address them. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, take an intellectual approach to solving a problem that has been bothering you for quite some time. Ask a friend for advice if you find you need some help. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, approaching someone who has not done his or her share of the work can be difficult. Tread gently because this person may have been distracted by something more pressing. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Your big ideas are highly valued, Virgo. Let others know what you are thinking and you may find that even more people are receptive to your ideas than you initially thought.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, things have been going your way for some time now. It’s exciting waiting for whatever is just around the corner. This unanticipated good fortune is just what you need. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Open yourself up to a new way of thinking, Scorpio. While your way of doing things may be right most of the time, adopting a fresh perspective may help you see things more clearly. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, try doing something on the spur of the moment. Spotaneity may give you a rush that you may not have felt in some time. This could be just the excitement you need right now. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Try to meet some new people, Capricorn. Add to your collection of networking contacts, which will help further both your professional and personal lives. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, relax when a stressful situation presents itself. Add some humor to the situation so you and others can handle it in the most positive way possible. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if others are uninterested in being social, find creative ways to enjoy some alone time. This may include music or artwork. 0818
