News - It was music time at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Tuesday, Aug. 12. But it was music with a difference – not in the finished product but in how it was created. Multi-media artist Dipna Horra conducted two workshops for youngsters in the branch’s TD Summer Reading Club and the name of the workshop said it all: “Crazy Kitchen Orchestra.� Yes, that’s right – it was music created using kitchen equipment found in the home. With this equipment, youngsters were able to re-create musically the sounds of such places as a rain forest and a park. There was even music created representing a trip to Mars. Dipna Horra had taken common everyday kitchen items and electrified and amplified them to make musical instruments out of them. These items included plastic containers and elastics. And, voila, the end result was a magical music time at the Stittsville library.

Simple washer tournament now a big fundraising boon
Special to the News
News - Playing washers, a game similar to horseshoes. Lots of fun. Over 80 involved with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ fth annual event. Awesome. And a record $1,750 raised this year, bringing the three-year fundraising total to over $4,500 from this annual Dave Markell Memorial Washer Tournament. Priceless. Yes, a simple summertime washer tournament started in 2010 by Jessica and Ryan Campbell of Stittsville has developed into a signiďŹ cant charity fundraising event while honouring the memory of the late Dave Markell, a community activist. Dave Markell, who passed away in 2012 from cancer, was an active community member, involved with Beavers, Scouts and the Fringewood Community Association. The washer tournament was started by Ryan and Jessica Campbell ďŹ ve years ago, with family and close friends invited. They gathered in the Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard to play some friendly washer games. For a nominal fee, food was provided and there was also an entry fee for the tournament. In the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst and second years in 2010 and 2011, the money collected from the entry fees went to the tournament winner. However, things changed for the 2012 tournament which took place about one month following the passing

of close family friend Dave Markell, husband to Anne and father of Kayleigh. He had attended and thoroughly enjoyed both of the two previous tournaments with his family and was a big contributor to the planning and execution of the tournaments. After Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passing, it was decided to make the washer tournament a yearly memorial event in his honour. As part of this commemoration, half of the entry fees are now donated to charity, whether it be cancer, heart disease or Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research. In addition, the winner is given the opportunity to donate his or her winnings as well. Over $4,500 has been raised in the past three years, with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament reaching a record $1,750 raised in Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory. The washer tournament has grown steadily every year with now over 80 people involved. With around 60 players, three tournaments are held throughout the day, spilling out into the ďŹ eld behind the Campbell home. Lots of manpower is required to make this washer tournament possible. Ryan and Jessica Campbell would like to thank the following people for all their hard work and support: Amber Taudien for all of

Some of the more than 80 people who enjoyed this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Dave Markell Memorial Washer Tournament in Stittsville. The tournament was started five years ago by Ryan and Jessica Campbell of Stittsville as a backyard event for family and close friends and has now grown into a successful fundraiser in memory of the late Dave Markell.
Jessica and Ryan Campbell point out that without all these amazing family members and friends pitching in, this annual Dave Markell Washer Tournament would never have achieved the success that it has in five short years. Everyone is now looking forward to next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament to see how much better it can be and how much more money can be raised to be donated to help those in need. The game of washers is similar to horseshoes although instead of a pit, there are two washer boxes placed 25 feet from each other. In the middle of a box is a tube. The objective is to throw a metal washer (a circular disk with a hole in the middle) from one box to the other, trying to get the washer in the box or, better yet, in the tube in the middle of the box. Players play in pairs. Points are accumulated with a washer in the tube earning three points while a washer in the box earns one point. The first team to reach 11 points wins that game. In this tournament, a double elimination format is followed. The team that emerges undefeated is the ultimate winner. Washers is played in several places around the world and goes under different names such as washers, washer pitching, washer toss and washoes. The game is played not only in Canada but in such places as Hong
Kong and numerous parts of the United States such as Colorado, Hawaii, Kentucky, Michigan, Texas and New York. The size of the washers used, the distance that they must be thrown and the configuration of the boxes can all vary depending on where the game is played.

Queen of the Furrow comes to Munster site on either Friday for the VIP plowing or on Saturday for the plowing competition itself. And Queen of the Furrow for Ottawa Carleton, Taylor Brophy, will be there as well. Taylor lives on the family beef farm just outside Richmond. She is currently enrolled in agriculture at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus in southwestern Ontario and hopes to pursue a career in agronomy. Her hobbies include cooking, ball and 4H as she has been a member of the Richmond 4H Club for nine years, showing Angus beef cattle at area fairs. The local Queen of the Furrow goes on to represent the Ottawa Carleton region at the International Plowing Match where the Ontario Queen of the Furrow is crowned. Each local Plowmen’s Association, such as the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association, selects a local Queen. The selection process involves an interview, plowing a parcel of land and giving a speech. Contestants in local Queen of the Furrow competitions are between the ages of 16 and 24 and must be knowledgeable about agriculture, plowing, food
Special to the News
News - Royalty will be at the Ottawa Carleton plowing match near Munster this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 22 and 23. No, it’s not Queen Elizabeth but it is a Queen – Taylor Brophy who is the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s Queen of the Furrow for 2014/15. She will be at the plowing match which is being held at the Simpson family’s Jockbrae Farms on Fallowfield Road between Munster Road and Dwyer Hill Road in Goulbourn near Munster. The VIP plowing portion of the event, which usually attracts municipal, provincial and federal politicians, will be held this Friday, Aug. 22 at noon. The competitive action at the 2014 Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match will get underway in earnest this Saturday, Aug. 23 with horse and antique plowing competitions as well as tractor plowing. This plowing will continue from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will also be an antique display, a Queen of the Furrow presentation at 1 p.m. and a windup banquet at 5 p.m. Members of the public are most welcome to visit the plowing match
production and environmental issues. The Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association has selected a Queen of the Furrow annually since 1977. In 1988, Jill Patterson of Ottawa Carleton was chosen as the provincial Queen of the Furrow. Plowing matches such as this one have been part of Ontario’s agricultural history for decades. At such matches, farmers have the opportunity to display their skills in plowing. Plowing done by competitors in these plowing matches is scored on the basis of ten criteria, with the final score being out of 200 for tractors and 180 for horses. These scores are used to determine if the participant has the skill level needed to participate in the upcoming International Plowing Match which is being held at Ivy, ON in Simcoe County south of Barrie, running from Tuesday, Sept. 16 to Saturday, Sept. 20. The Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association is a member of the Ontario Plowing Association and works to promote agriculture in the Ottawa area. The Association also works to support 4H activities in the area.

Fundraiser to feature Arnprior MacNab Pipes and Drums, highland dancers Special to the News
News - It’s Scottish Day in Stittsville this coming Sunday, Aug. 24. And where is the best place in Stittsville to hold such an afternoon of Scottish fun and entertainment? Why, at The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub and that’s just where this fundraiser for the new residential hospice facility to serve the west Ottawa area is going to be held. This Scottish Day at The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub will happen from 12 noon to 4 p.m. this coming Sunday, Aug. 24. Among the featured activities will be the Arnprior MacNab Pipes and Drums, highland dancers, a bake sale with pie auction, kids games and a
silent auction. The Arnprior MacNab Pipes and Drums, by the way, placed fourth out of 14 bands at the recent highland games in Maxville. So, you will be in for a treat when you hear them play. Honeydrop Body Art will be there doing face painting for the youngsters. She is donating her time and expertise. Sandy Edwards from Dandelion Kids Consignment Boutique at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be at the event with some kids games. Pottery Playhouse from the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be there, doing medallions for a toonie with a percentage of the revenue going to the hospice cause. Kiwi Kraze in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza will be donating a percentage of its sales that day to the hospice cause. In addition, customers will be receiving a $2 coupon good for their next visit to Kiwi Kraze. All of this is being done in memory
of the late Ivan Warner who was chosen as Stittsville’s Citizen of the Year in 2013. He passed away soon after receiving the honour, spending his final days in hospice care. This revealed to his family and friends the value and benefit of hospice care and made them strong advocates for a residential hospice to serve the residents of the west Ottawa area. Such a new residential hospice is now planned for a site on McCurdy Drive in Kanata with a capital fundraising campaign now underway to make it happen. The funds raised by this Scottish Day fundraiser at The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub in Stittsville, organized by the Warner and McConnell families, Theresa Qadri and Christine Philipson in partnership with The
ottawa
Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub, will be going towards the McCurdy Drive hospice campaign. A highlight of the fundraiser should be a tug-of-war competition involving Ottawa Fire Service firefighters, among others, and including even the pipe band members in their kilts. You may just see what they wear under their kilts as they huff and puff in the tug-of-war. Enjoy the outdoor patio at The Glen Scottish Pub & Restaurant throughout the afternoon and for football fans, the Ottawa RedBlacks football game that afternoon will be broadcast for those on the patio. Both city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri are expected to be in attendance at this fundraiser.

OPINION EDITORIAL
Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not stop the train
P
remier Kathleen Wynne was in town recently to help Mayor Jim Watson celebrate the halfway mark of construction on the Confederation line tunnel. She also re-affirmed the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to funding the second phase of the light rail project, and both Wynne and Watson took time to push the federal government to make a similar pledge. Ottawa-OrlĂŠans MP Royal Galipeau would only go so far as saying when a plan for Phase 2 was presented, it would be considered in due course by the federal government. The push by the mayor and the premier may be political theatre â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Watson is seeking re-election this fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the current predicament should not be ignored by voters in Ottawa. The $2.5-billion Phase 2 is scheduled to begin sometime after the initial Tunneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pasture to Blair Road section is completed in 2018. Moving forward with light rail, ensuring trains are running from Bayshore to OrlĂŠans, is of vital importance to the future of the city. As Ottawa grows, it will become
more important with each passing year for residents to be served by an efficient mass transit system. With that in mind, city council and the province must be willing to acknowledge the possibility that federal funding for the project â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which would amount to around $975 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be made available. The recent attitude of Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government has been to steer clear of direct investment in areas it believes are of provincial responsibility. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to say that funding a project in the capital wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be treated differently, but the city and province canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to wait around for federal money to be made available. Plan B needs to be determined. Whether that means moving forward with one leg of Phase 2 or another is up to council to decide, but failing to establish an alternative, one that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dependent upon federal funding, would be negligent. Ottawa needs a transit system built for the 21st century, whether the federal government wants to play along or not.

No shortage of advice for road warriors
I
n the summer many of us become Ontario road warriors. We discover new roads and rediscover old ones. On the old roads there are always changes, some for the good, some not so much. The roads themselves are often better. The Trans-Canada, Highway 17, heading north and west has some rough spots, but it is so much better than it used to be. The continual addition of passing lanes has made the driving easier and safer, not to mention less tense. It is reassuring, when stuck behind somebody going slow (meaning: at the speed limit), to know that a passing lane will open up just a couple of minutes. The knowledge makes us more patient and safer drivers. There has also been good work

you that LARGE VEHICLES NEED MORE ROOM, another â&#x20AC;&#x153;aha!â&#x20AC;? moment. However, our favourite this year, first glimpsed near Wahnapitae east of Sudbury, is: DRIVE ACCORDING TO CONDITIONS. Really? Two images spring to mind. One is of a guy going 150 km/ h in pitch dark, dense fog and pouring rain who suddenly sees the sign and thinks: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wow! I never thought of that. Better slow down. And perhaps turn my headlights on.â&#x20AC;? The other image is of the inevitable committee meeting where this slogan was adopted. The members would gather in a windowless boardroom with bottles of water and try to come up with just the right wording, one that would be easily understood, translate well and not be offensive to anyone. Possible options would be flashed in PowerPoint on a large screen, such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Use Steering Wheel to Turn Carâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Employ Brakes to
Slow Down.â&#x20AC;? In the end, after lengthy discussion, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Drive According to Conditionsâ&#x20AC;? would appear to be the best option. Ontario road warriors thank the committee and urge it to Think According to Intelligence.

life, generally. Being unplugged forced me to think more deeply, offering me perspective and clarity. But the best part of being offline for the better part of the week was the improved relationship with my children. We were able to have real, in-depth conversations. When discussing their newly discovered hobby of fishing, we couldn’t fact check “fish at Lac Philippe” on Google in the middle of the campfire. We were forced to brainstorm and guess, hypothesize and debate possibilities. It was a rich dialogue so often lacking when we’ve got the answers at our finger tips. Without the constant interruption of a blinking or a beeping or a time check, we could remain in the moment. We told progressive stories around the campfire and wrote postcards and sang songs. The kids noticed a difference in mom, too. Not only was I more present, I was more relaxed. Without the phone, I didn’t have to

espite my dodgy back, I took three kids camping on my own last week. I knew it would be a challenge to be camping solo with the offspring, even more so when I found out I had no cell phone coverage. At first, the idea of being completely disconnected from the world made me nervous. I was nervous for security reasons, but also jittery because I wasn’t sure what I’d do cut off from everybody for a week. But then an amazing thing happened – with one exception, I didn’t look at my phone for seven days. And it felt great. With the phone turned off, I felt a weight lift, like I was really on vacation for the first time in forever. Disconnected from newsfeeds, I wasn’t compelled to keep on top of all the details of my friends, my family and the world. It created simplicity. It also generated creativity. I had a paper notebook in which to write my thoughts, old school. At the beginning of the week, I found myself commentating on the world around me in a series of fewer than 140-character blurbs, social media style. Things like, “The raccoons are bold, but I’m bolder,” and “Just made bannock on the fire for a worthy audience,” and “Drinking Busch beer in the bush.” By the end of the week, however, I was writing, by hand, extended essays about my thoughts, my family and
up and focus on the task at hand. When my eight-year-old caught his first sunfish, we had to work out how to get it off the hook, and even ask some real people for help. When my nine-year-old trapped a large turtle in a net, we were compelled to examine the turtle closely and take notes so we could remember details and look up the facts later. Sitting on the beach alone – with no device to connect me to other adults on social media or the phone – allowed me to connect with people in my midst. I’m a natural communicator, so given the chance to start a conversation, I often do. But I realized on this trip that, too often, the little computer in my pocket has been acting as a barrier to the possibility of speaking to people in my geographic vicinity. I came back from my week without technology feeling more refreshed than I have in years. It wasn’t long before

To begin, I just wanted to thank each and every one of you for reading this column for the past four years (minus three months). As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, this will be my last column prior to the upcoming municipal election due to the Council approved blackout period. It will, however, return in November as this term of Council does not end until November 30, 2014. McBean Street Bridge Please don’t hate me for talking about the winter but you may recall that we had some issues plowing the sidewalk on the McBean Street Bridge this past year. In the coming weeks, work will take place to rehabilitate the sidewalk. The finished product will be a wider sidewalk on the northbound side of the bridge, which will allow for proper winter maintenance to take place, not to mention more room to stand during the Richmond Fair & Santa Claus parades! On the bridge itself, a full rehabilitation is scheduled for 2017. Councillor for Hire: Tranquil Acres On August 8th, I had the pleasure of spending part of the day at Tranquil Acres on Third Line Road in Kars. Tranquil Acres is a therapeutic equestrian centre for people with varying social, emotional and mental health needs. What I find so amazing about this centre is that they use the horses to help their clients learn and heal. From what I learned, horses are animals of prey and, as such, are hyper vigilant toward their environment. This gives them the unique ability to sense and tune into the emotions that are hidden in non-verbal communication. I happened to be at Tranquil Acres on an EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) training day. Equine specialists and Mental Health specialists from across North America were in Kars to learn about equine assisted learning as this method of mental health treatment grows in popularity due to its effectiveness. The EAGALA model is aimed at children and adults suffering from such issues as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, stress, ADHD, PTSD, among others. An upcoming program that is being offered at Tranquil Acres is called H.E.L.P. (Heroes. Equine. Learning. Program.). This is aimed at addressing post-traumatic stress and operational injuries through peer and equine-based experiences for our military, our veterans and our first responders. It was really quite an interesting experience to watch the training process and see how the specialists interact with clients through the horses. I encourage you to learn more about Tranquil Acres by visiting tranquilacres.ca and I want to thank Ryan and his team for inviting me and allowing me to spend a day with them. Land Evaluation Area Review & the Barnsdale Lands In July 2014, the City of Ottawa together with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) started an update of Ottawa’s soils mapping to improve our soils information, identify prime agricultural land, and guide future planning in rural Ottawa. As a result, farm owners in two large test areas may be approached by representatives of the City or OMAFRA seeking permission to access to their property to allow sampling and mapping of soils conditions on their land. Between now and October 2014, staff from the City and/or the Ministry may contact you and request your permission for soil experts to gain access to your land. The access and sampling will not damage crops, farm equipment or infrastructure (fences or tiles). Soil sampling will only take place on your property if you grant permission for the soil experts to enter. Both the City and the Province will use the soil capability mapping resulting from this field sampling to determine and protect the most productive lands for farming. Farmers will be able to use the soil mapping for their properties for a variety of purposes, including managing the use and distribution of fertilizer. The results of the surveys undertaken in 2014-2015 and the city’s existing and highly accurate topographic information will be used by OMAFRA to produce some of the most up-to-date and accurate soil capability mapping available in Ontario. The city will use the mapping to review the City’s Agricultural Resource Areas. Farmers who participate in this study will receive copies of the mapping information for their fields. This review ties into a current rezoning application for lands north of Barnsdale Road, adjacent to the current urban boundary. This application calls for the rezoning of the land from Agriculture to General Rural, which would make it more attractive for future boundary expansion. I believe this application is premature, as I have stated in the past, and it should wait until the soil surveys are complete and the LEAR is finalized. To that end, I will not support any rezoning of Agricultural lands until we have completed our LEAR study. ROSSS Walk of Care As you may know, Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) is a charitable foundation that is dedicated to providing programs and services to endeavor to keep seniors living independently in their homes for as long as possible. Every year we host a “Walk of Care” fundraiser. This 5-kilometer event takes place on Saturday, September 6th, 2014 on the Osgoode Multi-Use Pathway. “Walk of Care” will start with registration at 9:00am followed by a warm-up activity. Walkers will enjoy the beauty of nature along this route while contributing to the needs of seniors and adults with physical disabilities within our community. There will be refreshments and entertainment beginning at 11:00am. Prizes will be drawn at 12:00am. While this column won’t appear here for the next two months, you can still contact me on any issue via email at Scott.Moffatt@ ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491. Thank you!

Slow Down for Us Pilot Project As you are aware, our community is partaking in the Slow Down for us project. This is a temporary signage posting campaign that is a part of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program. It is geared towards drawing attention to and educating motorists, on the local residential streets, to be aware of children at play. It alerts drivers to be more conscious and responsible to obey the speed limits that are put into place. This program receives enforcement support from the Ottawa Police Service accordingly. Safer Roads Ottawa has provided my office with 50 signs to be posted for up to 60 days on the City easement portion of residents’ property. Currently, the signs are being placed on Hartsmere Drive. The project will move around to different communities once the 60 days are up, and residents will be informed that the project is coming with a letter asking permission to place signs on their lawns. The Safer Roads Ottawa Program is a leading partnership between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department. The Program is committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the City of Ottawa, through culture change, community engagement and the development of a sustainable safe transportation environment. Vehicle Safety- All Valuables Removed Program My office has received notice about vehicle break-ins in the Stittsville and surrounding area. Thefts from vehicles are particularly high from June to October, and a good way to reduce these thefts is by lowering opportunities for criminals. With the “All Valuables Removed” initiative, residents are instructed to remove their valuables from their vehicle, or secure them out of sight, and place a warning card in their window, letting would-be-thieves know not to bother searching their car, and also reminding others to take the same precautions. In addition to removing valuables, the Ottawa Police would like to offer the following tips to drivers when leaving their vehicle: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Never leave your vehicle running and unattended. Close windows and lock the doors. Never leave your car or house keys in your vehicle. Park in well lit areas with pedestrian traffic.
For more tips, and to find out how you can obtain a warning card for your vehicle, please visit ottawapolice.ca. R0012846624-0821

It could be a team from a particular business or a team representing a community group or association. Participants are expected to raise a minimum of $50 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in order to participate. Those who raise $100 will receive a t-shirt while those who raise $500 will receive a cow bell and be entered in a draw for a cruise valued at $7,500.

It is the intent, at single-lane roundabouts, for cyclists to take the lane, however many cyclists do not feel comfortable doing this. At this location the roundabout is equipped with an alternate option, so that cyclists can choose to navigate the roundabout separate from motor vehicle traffic. However, there is no guidance to let cyclists know that they are permitted on the shared sidewalk, and many are reluctant to use the facility because they think it’s against the law to bike on the sidewalk. This signage will encourage cyclists to use the facility that is currently provided in order to navigate the roundabout more comfortably.

and Stroke Foundation, notes that the funds raised go towards research as well as to support the use of defibrillators. This Big Bike program, while a physical exercise, is something that any healthy person can do. Indeed, one of the goals of the program is to expose people who may not be exercising much to the thrill and exhilaration of physical activity. It is hoped that this Big Bike experience will set them on a road to more physical activity and better health as a result. In addition, taking part in the Big Bike event is a very public way of showing support for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Mr. Larocque notes that people like to be seen supporting a worthy cause like the Heart and Stroke Foundation and moving along the road in traffic pedaling this Big Bike does draw attention. The Big Bike also has the capability of playing music during a ride and it can be whatever kind of music the participants want. The Big Bike is accompanied by police cars on the ride to ensure a safe experience for all – both the Big Bike participants and other traffic on the road. A Big Bike pilot project in Stittsville was tried last year and has led to this larger effort this year. This Big Bike event in Stittsville this Thursday, Aug. 21 is one of nine Big Bike rides scheduled to take place in the Ottawa area this year. Others are or have been happening at the Kanata Research Park, downtown on Sparks Street (twice), in Manotick, at the Byward Market, on Preston Street in Ottawa, at the Rideau Carleton Raceway and at Ottawa city hall. Mr. Larocque has set a fundraising goal of $251,500 in total for these nine Big Bike events, part of a nine and a half million dollar Canadian goal. For more information, please contact Larocque by phone at 613727-5060, ext. 238 or via email at jlarocque@hsf.on.ca.

even better. So good in fact that I broke down and bought another. I will be returning to that bakery the next time we’re on the south coast. My concern, however, is will it still be there? Bakeries in England are disappearing nearly as fast as public houses. With big supermarkets springing up everywhere across the UK and Ireland, all of them featuring a wide array of baked goods, the little guy can no longer compete. Small, family run bakeries are falling like 10 pins. The same trend long ago enveloped Canada. When communities grow, large supermarkets follow. That’s a good thing in many ways of course. People today want and expect what the big conglomerates have to offer, which is a bit of everything. One stop shopping. That’s what the majority want. Neighbourhood grocery stores disappeared long ago in most communities. When we first came to Carleton Place 38 years ago there were many such establishments. Today there are none with convenience stores filling part of the void. We are fortunate to have a good bakery here. But at one time small Ontario towns often featured two or three such establishments. Today you are fortunate to find one in most places. Last week I was saddened to learn of the closure of one of the best small town bakeries in Eastern Ontario. Richmond Bakery is no more and with it goes some of the best sausage rolls ever produced in this part of the world. Among many other baked delights of course! Kathy and our son Craig loved their oatmeal cookies. Reports in the Ottawa media say owner Johannes Kunert taped a handwritten note to the front door at the end of the business day on Saturday, Aug. 9. The sign said the bakery was closing and thanked patrons for their support during the 40 years his family operated the bakery. See LOCAL LANDMARK, page 19

readily admit to having a weakness for baked goods. One of the many reasons I enjoy returning to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Continental Europe on a regular basis is the many excellent bakeries, especially those in smaller communities where they are a staple and attract regular customers on a daily basis. These days I mainly stand and admire the wonderful array of fresh breads, cakes, tarts and pies which are laid out so invitingly and with only a thin pane of glass separating me from them. Dessert is not on the menu for yours truly – not when we are traveling at least! I have a particular weakness for sausage rolls and as my family and friends will tell you I am on a constant quest to locate and sample the very best of this particular baked delicacy. I’ve sampled many of these culinary delights over the years. Most are average, some are truly terrible and others are made with unidentifiable meat and are simply tasteless. Every now and then I find a place which produces the crème de la crème of sausage rolls. Two bakeries immediately spring to mind. The best (THE absolute best) sausage rolls I have ever enjoyed are baked at a small establishment in Richmond, Surrey just west of London (UK) and only a few blocks from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The gardens are always worth a visit. But for me a stop at that little bakery is mandatory. Their sausage rolls, which are served delightfully warm, literally melt in your mouth. One Saturday, several years ago, Kathleen and I made a visit to the town of Lewes, East Sussex which is just north of the English seaside resort city of Brighton, one of our favourite UK destinations. Among numerous attractions the market town is famous for its castle (Lewes Castle) built in 1087. Its location offers spectacular views of the rolling, picturesque South Downs. The town is also the site of Anne of Cleves House, a well preserved 16th Century residence awarded to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce settlement by King Henry VIII. A quite remarkable gesture considering the King’s usual treatment of his many wives! While touring the town my stomach told me it was time for a bite of lunch. On the High Street we came across a small bakery from which emanated a fetching aroma. “I think I smell sausage rolls,” I told Kathy. Yes indeed, there were my favourite taste treats sitting invitingly in a warmer. They looked and smelled wonderful and they tasted

West Ottawa Ladies Chorus looking for new talent Special to the News
News - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is welcoming interested new singers. The only requirement is an ability to match pitch, blend and sing a designated voice part. Choral experience and basic music sight reading skills are considered an asset. Interested singers should contact founder and music director Robert Dueck of Stittsville at 613-836-1824 who will arrange a “meet and greet” interview during which he will provide an introduction to the music repertoire for the upcoming fall term. The first rehearsal for the group will be on Sunday,
Sept. 28. Rehearsals will then continue on Sundays and/or Wednesdays until the group’s Christmas concert. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus originated from a group of 24 women from the west end who were recruited by Robert Dueck to be guest performers at the 2011 Christmas concert of the Goulbourn Male Chorus which had been founded in 2010. Following this concert, suggestions were made regarding forming an all-ladies chorus. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus gave its inaugural performance in May, 2011 with 12 ladies singing two selections at the spring concert of
the Goulbourn Male Chorus. Word of mouth and media assistance spread the word about this new ladies chorus and throughout 2012, experienced choral singers continued to join the new West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. The group increased its community profile by performing annual spring and Christmas concerts, making guest appearances at concerts and providing musical entertainment at various functions. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, under the direction of Robert Dueck with Eliana Kurilov as the accompanist, now presents a Christmas SUBMITTED concert and next spring will From left, Janet Ramsahoye and Jacqeline Sanders perform with the West Ottawa Ladies present another concert. Chorus. The group is looking for more members for its 2014 season. R0232361285

All these actions are not only good for the environment but they can also save you lots of money. Why? Because the cost of packaged foods is higher than that of foods purchased in large quantities or, better still, that are homemade.

You can put your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 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 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all are healthy and delicious replacements for cold cuts. Con-

Smart tips for cool teens Affordable tips for back to school wardrobes Lifestyle - Teenaged girls â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and, increasingly, boys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are intensely conscious of their appearance. They want to wear different clothes every day, and expensive labels are usually preferred. But parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wallets have their limits, and teenagersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; even more so. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your dollars and pick up some sensible spending habits.
R0012852171
â&#x20AC;˘ Exchange clothes. At the beginning of a new school year, young people are sometimes fed up with clothes that are neither worn out nor outdated. This is when parents can suggest exchanging clothes with friends, on the principle that what is old for them is new for others. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch out for sales. It is useful to teach young people to watch out for sales. Taking advantage of sub-
New tutoring, enrichment and study skills program at Venta open to all area students. Venta Preparatory School has grown and has expanded into the community. Tutoring, enrichment and study skills programs are now being offered for all students from all area schools at Venta, through the Venta Community Learning Centre (VCLC), located only minutes from Canadian Tire Place in Kanata,. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can now give your child a boost to their education with Ventaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proven approach in an after school and weekend program tailored to your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual learning proďŹ le.â&#x20AC;? says Elizabeth Barnes, Centre Director of VCLC and Manager of Admissions for Venta Preparatory School. At VCLC, the motto is â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a village to raise a childâ&#x20AC;?. With todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hectic lifestyles and busy schedules, a sense of community, belonging and working together as a team are more important than ever. Venta is proud of their unique and tailored approach and are thrilled to be able to offer their services to students from all schools. Your child can attend Venta Community Learning Centre for tutoring, enrichment, study skills or extra support. Venta Community Learning Centre students will work on an individual program that has been developed through a comprehensive assessment, and through talking with you, their parent. 18 Stittsville News - Thursday, August 21, 2014
VCLC is unique in that they will listen to you and learn about your child to identify your goals, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goals and the classroom goals to create an achievable plan. What sets Venta Community Learning Centre apart is that they promise to work as a team with you, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher and your child, to identify areas of strength and areas to work on, while building your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conďŹ dence and self-conďŹ dence. We are all unique learners. Children need to understand their own learning proďŹ le, in order for them to learn how they learn best. By doing all of these things, in a warm and nurturing environment, your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motivation will increase; your child will become an active learner, and ultimately, your child will gain conďŹ dence in all areas of life, not just academics. Learning is so much more than sitting at a desk, and at Venta, they believe in developing your whole child, through knowledge, acceptance, achievement and a sense of community. After all, the days are long but the years are short, and in this integral time in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, it does take a village to raise a child. Venta is committed to our children, and our community. Visit ventacommunitylearning.ca or call 613-719-9940 to learn more.
stantial discounts at the end of a season will let them buy items at lower prices. â&#x20AC;˘ Visit thrift stores. Help teens discover the fun and good sense of these shops, where original, quality clothing can be found for almost nothing. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose sustainable â&#x20AC;&#x153;essentialsâ&#x20AC;?. Help children understand that it is better to pay a little more for some timeless items rather than having to replace them year after year. This is as much a ďŹ nancial consideration as an environmental one. â&#x20AC;˘ Beware of expensive labels. Allow teens to include a few ďŹ&#x201A;ashy labels in their wardrobe, but no more than that. Help them understand that the people they are â&#x20AC;&#x201C; what they say and what they do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is much more important than what they wear.
Start this school year off on the right foot!
Give your child the tools they need for increased motivation, conďŹ dence and better grades. Call us or visit our website to learn more about our study skills, tutoring and enrichment programs, individually created for your child.

Landmark lost Continued from page 13
The Kunert family purchased the familiar premises at the corner of Perth and McBean Streets in Richmond in 1974. Evidently the owner ran out of patience trying to operate and compete in a changing marketplace? A spokesperson for Kunert said finding bakers had become extremely difficult and noted â&#x20AC;&#x153;the trade is dying.â&#x20AC;? I grew up in nearby Stittsville and with Richmond an easy 15 minute drive away the Richmond Bakery was a regular destination for my family. Last week I spoke to my father Howard about the bakery closure. He founded the Stittsville News and, along with my Uncle Lloyd, operated the newspaper for many years. The weekly (community) newspaper also served Richmond which didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have its own paper. Dad said the bakery, which first opened in 1939, was founded by the Brown family, one of the best known families in Richmond. The once thriving business had a steady number of outside clients. Among them were corner stores who sold the bread, doughnuts and cookies produced at Richmond Bakery. Dad says that trend continued after Harold Brown sold the firm to the Kunert family. Gradually the other small businesses which sold Richmond Bakery products closed their doors. The bakery was then forced to rely on walk-in traffic. Obviously it worked for several decades. Sadly the changing marketplace finally caught up with them. Oh yes, I asked my Dad what his favourite item from Richmond Bakery was. There was no hesitation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sausage rolls,â&#x20AC;? he replied. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We (he and my Mum) loved their sausage rolls.â&#x20AC;? Well, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a chip off the old block. Because it is the
bakeryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sausage rolls that I enjoyed the most. When I was a teenager attending South Carleton High School in Richmond my friends and I would often walk the half kilometre or so from the school to the bakery during lunch hours or spares. I always indulged in a sausage roll and a chocolate dipped doughnut too on occasion. Under the Brown family ownership the sausage meat was rolled in a wonderful tasting dough and cooked to perfection. A real taste treat. Years later, after moving back to this area from southwestern Ontario where I began my newspaper career we made many excursions to Richmond Bakery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trend that had continued on and off to this day. The sausage rolls were different in recent times but they were still better than anything else on the market. The recipe for oatmeal cookies never changed. We will miss those products and so many other original baked goods which always made a trip to Richmond Bakery worthwhile. For many years Richmond resisted the growth trend that has transformed my boyhood home of Stittsville. More recently that has changed and the community, which like Stittsville is now part of the expanded City of Ottawa, is experiencing change. With more and larger stores available the buying habits of Richmond residents has undoubtedly changed too. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it is that trend which played a part in the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to shutter the famous, old bakery. Richmond Bakery was a local landmark and its closure is truly the end of an era. The bakery has always been part of my life and I am sorry to see it go. I salute the owners for doing such a great job for so many years.
Video games: a little, a lot, or too much? Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moms and dads had trouble with their children (todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents) because they spent too much time watching television. Now the problem facing parents is the excessive use of video games, especially by boys. What to do? The research on the benefits and evils of video games abounds. How-
ever, experts all seem to agree on the importance of limiting â&#x20AC;&#x153;gamingâ&#x20AC;? time, especially during the school year. PROS AND CONS
Video games have become a social tool and major source of entertainment for young peo-
ple; this includes online gambling. Banning gaming completely is not recommended. Research has shown that gaming can improve eyesight, hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and creativity. Depending on the game, young people can increase their vocabulary and knowledge in a given field. On the other hand, video games are a passive activity in a world where young people are already too sedentary and prone to obesity. The stimulation of video games can be addictive and, because of their intensity,
make any other activity seem boring. Playing video games in small doses should not be a source of conflict between parents and young people. It can even be a tool for connection. If the terms are negotiated, especially around content and time, then gaming can be an enjoyable and beneficial activity. It helps if parents acknowledge the skills their children acquire by gaming and if they take an interest in the games that fascinate their young loved ones.

Look great for the new school year
www.pointeofgrace.com
Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is always an important step for teens. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect moment to have a complete makeover and present your best face for the year ahead. Here are five beauty stops on the back to school path to looking great.

â&#x20AC;˘ Cosmetics counter For a healthy complexion, focus on a proven beauty routine â&#x20AC;&#x201D; cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate. Makeup should be used to enhance your natural beauty; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no need to overdo it.

aged by the summer sun and pool chlorine? There are lots of hair care products available that are intended to repair this kind of damage. Take the opportunity to treat yourself to a new style, pretty streaks, or why not both! â&#x20AC;˘ Beauty salon To sleekly sparkle from head to toe, think about pampering your hands, feet, and nails; after all, they deserve some attention as well. â&#x20AC;˘ Dental clinic Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget your smile; be sure your visit to the dentist coincides with the start of the new school year.
â&#x20AC;˘ Boutique Breathe new life into your wardrobe by flipping through some fashion magazines in search of all the latest trends. Just a few well-chosen clothes and accessories will show off your true colours and your personality. Be careful! It can be tempting to overdo it in an effort to stand out from the crowd. Remember that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better to be noticed for your little je ne sais quoi rather than as someone who goes over the top. Feeling beautiful and good about yourself is all it takes to start the new school year off on the right foot.

Dyslexia has direct impact on academic performance Lifestyle - Does your child read very slowly and inaccurately? Maybe you should check to see if he or she is part of the 8 to 12 per cent of the population struggling with dyslexia. This learning disability is neurological in origin and is presumed to be genetically determined. DIAGNOSIS
The main symptoms of this disability vary in severity and in presentation from one person to another. SYMPTOMS
â&#x20AC;˘ Slow reading, especially when reading less frequently used words. â&#x20AC;˘ Tentative reading, shown
as difďŹ culty breaking down words and translating letters into sounds. â&#x20AC;˘ Mixing up the sounds associated with letters. â&#x20AC;˘ Inaccurate reading of words that are not spelled according to common patterns. â&#x20AC;˘ Reading words by guessing what they are from their visual appearance. It is a well-known fact that dyslexia has a direct and signiďŹ cant impact on academic performance. It can lead to difďŹ culty in reading comprehension, a limited vocabulary, problems learning a second language, and pervasive problems when reading and writing are required.
THE COURSE TO FOLLOW
At school, a personalized intervention plan and good cooperation between the various professionals can enable children to progress in their schooling. Here are a few ways this work can be continued at home: â&#x20AC;˘ Build a love of reading. Read different kinds of writing to your child, or read together. â&#x20AC;˘ Encourage the accurate reading of words. Read simple texts together, such as jokes, recipes, and the like. â&#x20AC;˘ Help your child to understand language rules. Play word games such as Scrabble, Hangman, and Scattergories.

One of your worst fears has materialized â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your teen is using drugs. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s useless to feel guilty or to panic. Ignoring the situation is not the right way to go either. It is far better to approach the problem with discussion, understanding, and accountability.

DISCUSSION
Approach the subject calmly with your teen when he or she is not under the inďŹ&#x201A;uence of drugs. Make him aware of your suspicions. Rather than criticize, express what you feel about the situation, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anxiety, incomprehension, or fear. Give him your support and encourage him to ďŹ nd his own solutions for stopping the drug use.

If your child is using drugs, the right attitude to take is that of a guide. point in giving him orders or trying to protect him in spite of himself. The right attitude to adopt is that of a guide. ACCOUNTABILITY
It is a mistake to cover up mistakes or misdemeanours
TAEKW
your teenager has committed under the inďŹ&#x201A;uence of drugs. It is important to let him face the consequences of his actions. He must face his debts, justify his absences from school himself, and deal with the consequences of poor academic performance.

If your child is not of the opinion that taking drugs is a problem, do not try to force him outright to stop using them. Instead, have a discussion about the reasons that led him to take drugs in the ďŹ rst place. Help him to get the correct information about drugs, let him know the range of resources he has at his disposal to get help, and tell him that he can count on your support. There is no

Buying a backpack in five lessons
â&#x20AC;˘ Shop with your children. Having the child with you is the only way to choose a backpack that will be the right size. The backpack should not be higher than the shoulders or wider than the back, and should reach down to just above the hips. â&#x20AC;˘ Choose the right material. A light synthetic canvas
is better than a heavier cotton or leather. An empty bag should weigh no more than 500 g for a child and 1 kg for a teenager.
NEW LOCATION
â&#x20AC;˘ Choose a neutral colour. A neutral bag will better stand up to changing fashions. Expensive designer brand bags could also be a poor choice; kids grow up fast!
Open House Wednesday, August 27th 1:00 to 4:00 P.M. & 6:00 to 8:00 P.M. 1817 Richardson Side Road
â&#x20AC;˘ Examine the shoulder straps. These should be at least 5 cm wide and be adjustable and padded. A waist strap and a chest strap allow for better weight distribution. â&#x20AC;˘ Educate your children. Teach kids to only bring home what is strictly necessary in order to do their homework. The weight of the filled bag shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exceed 10 percent of their body weight.

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 self-discipline in kids. The ideal time is as soon as they get home from school, after a snack. 2. Start with the most difficult tasks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 time goes by. This will also allow them to finish their home- work on a positive note. 3. Have everything close at hand. Make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re outfitted with a pencil case containing sharpened pencils, pencil sharpener, coloured pencils or markers, a ruler, a com- pass, 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.

Lifestyle - A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backpack is a trusty companion; kids are rarely seen without them. However, a poorly adjusted backpack, or one that is too heavy, can cause back, shoulder, and neck pain. One teenager out of two suffers from back pain at least once a month, and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wearing on their backs may very well be the cause. That is a good reason to learn these five lessons about backpacks.

Annual Munster cemetary Youths! Adults! Seniors! Earn Extra Money! memorial service Aug. 24 Keep Your Weekends Free! Special to the News
News - Munster Union Cemetery can be found in the heart of the community of Munster. The cemetery has held an annual memorial service since 1935. This year this annual memorial service of Munster Union Cemetery is taking place this Sunday, Aug. 24 at 2:30 p.m. at the Munster United Church on Munster Road in Munster 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. Tubmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Cemetery 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. 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. 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.

Residents are welcome to drop by and speak to staff as they wish. Then, there are the three daily chefprepared meals. Add to that a robust calendar of activities, which includes community involvement. Holiday Retirement residences provide a fun and caring lifestyle. If you’re a resident with Holiday Retirement, someone is always watching out for you – there are even live-in managers who share their lives with the residents they serve so selflessly.

With the high-efficiency of today’s homes our central air systems are overworked and often recirculate dust and germs through the house rather than allowing them to exit properly. Have you noticed allergies occurring, are you sneezing even when the windows are closed? This could be a result of a dusty and pollen filled venting system. When our vents collect dust they also invite dust mites and other pests to take root. These often forgotten pests can be the cause of many ailments and reactions. Have a professional like Dr. Clean Air assess your ventilation systems and clean them to avoid more serious reactions.
Each year we help over 50,000 businesses connect with local consumers.
Have you just built a new home? Take a look in your returns and vents. Often contractors leave a buildup of drywall dust and other debris that could lessen the effectiveness of you HVAC, causing it to work harder. A blocked vent can cause cold or warm spots in your home and cost you money as the temptation to turn up the dial to compensate becomes a need.

30 Stittsville News - Thursday, August 21, 2014
David daCosta serves up musical menu at Gaia coffee shop News - From Coldplay to Simon & Garfunkel to Sinead Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor to Elvis Presley to Cat Stevens to his own compositions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this was the musical menu served up by singer/ guitarist David daCosta at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Shop in Stittsville last Friday. It was just David sitting on a chair, with his guitar and his voice, that kept the audience at the Gaia Java shop engaged and attentive. Indeed, David even urged the audience to sing along with the familiar refrain of his rendition of Cat Stevensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 1970 hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wild Worldâ&#x20AC;? (Oh, baby, baby, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wild world/Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to get by just upon a smile/Oh, baby, baby, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wild world/Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll always remember you like a child, girl). This song, which wound up his first of two sets on this Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop, came after a variety of songs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Green Eyes,â&#x20AC;? associated with the British rock band Coldplay; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boxer,â&#x20AC;? the 1969 folk rock ballad by Simon & Garfunkel with its plaintive refrain
â&#x20AC;&#x153;lie-la-lieâ&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing Compares 2U,â&#x20AC;? the song by American singer Prince which Irish singer Sinead Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor turned into a worldwide hit in 1990 thanks to a new arrangement; an Elvis Presley upbeat tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s All Right, Mamaâ&#x20AC;?; and Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own original tune â&#x20AC;&#x153;Calm.â&#x20AC;? And more followed in his second set, including a George Harrison song as David admitted that George is his favourite Beatle. This was David daCostaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second appearance at a Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop in the past couple of months. He is a 2009 graduate of the University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Theatre and Music Departments. He released his first song â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Place To Startâ&#x20AC;? in Dec. 2010. This past fall, he toured Northern Ontario and the Maritimes as an actor and musician with the theatre company â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bear & Co.â&#x20AC;? He released a three-song demo last May in which he demonstrated a sound based on such diverse influences as electronica and folk music. A tip jar was set up at Gaia Java for those wishing to show their ap-
preciation of Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical efforts. He announced that half of the tips would be going to Plan Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I Am A Girlâ&#x20AC;? initiative which is a global effort to end gender inequality and to promote girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rights while trying to help girls out of poverty situations. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I Am A Girlâ&#x20AC;? initiative was launched in Canada by Plan Canada in 2009 and since then the United Nations has declared Oct. 11 as International Day of the Girl. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because I Am A Girlâ&#x20AC;? initiative has a global goal of supporting four million girls in getting the education, skills and support that they need to move themselves out of poverty and into the world of opportunity. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. This Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music evening will feature folk singer and songwriter Brady Folks. These Friday music evenings are free to attend, but early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

In partnership with
Creative writing group encourages members to develop their skills Special to the News
News - The Creative Writing Group meets each Thursday from 6:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Members arrive at each session with a story or poem that includes a word given to them at the session the week before. Members write about personal incidents, actual events, fiction, science fiction, fantasy and alternate histories, usually incorporating the word provided the week before. Photos, maps and artifacts may accompany some of the
stories. A few members have written a series of mini chapters that together create a longer, larger story. The range of members’ ages, backgrounds, experiences and writing styles leads to vastly different stories using the same key word. After each member reads his or her piece, some as sort as a few rods or some to the maximum reading time of eight minutes, other members may ask questions about the story, may comment on what it means to them or may offer praise. However, edits, corrections and criticisms are avoided.
You’re Invited...
Richmond
MAKE your perfect
building centre
The aim of this Creative Writing Group is to encourage each other to write and develop this creative writing skill through weekly exercise. If a person has not written anything on a particular week, he or she is still encouraged to attend the session. Members who are unable to make the meeting are still welcome to join the group afterwards at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. For more information about this Creative Writing Group or if you are interested in joining the group which currently has 15 members, please contact the Stittsville library branch at 613-836-3381.

Golden oldies rock Village Square Special to the News
News - Although its name appears to be somewhat of an oxymoron, the band “Serious Fun” lived up to at least half of its name as hearing its music was a lot of fun for those at the free concert at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Aug. 14. Unfortunately, due to unseasonably chilly weather (13 degrees Celsius) and impending rain (it never did rain to any JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND extent during the one and a half Performing on stage at Village Square Park in Stittsville in the free concert sponsored hour concert), there was only by Waste Management on Thursday evening, Aug. 14 are members of the band Serious a very sparse crowd on hand Fun, from left, Frank Garfield, drummer Dave Kittle (behind), Geoffrey Schwab and Doug to hear “Serious Fun” take the audience back through many Simmons. of the hits of the 50’s and 60’s.

ering a constant repertoire of familiar golden oldies throughout the concert. You knew that you were in a for a delicious stroll down musical lane when the band launched into the 1966 song “Mustang Sally,” one of the best known songs by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Wilson Pickett. And then, just to emphasize the concert’s focus, the band launched into Del Shannon’s iconic 1961 hit “Runaway. “Serious Fun” then drew on the quirky “The Hanky Panky,” a number one single by the American rock and roll group Tommy James and the Shondells in 1966, following it up with the sleuthful “Secret Agent Man,” a hit for American rock and roll singer Johnny Rivers and a tune which became the theme song for the 1960’s U.S. television version of the British spy series Danger Man which
starred Patrick McGoohan as secret agent John Drake. No concert of the hits of the past would be complete without a Beatles tune or two and “Serious Fun” did not disappoint – there was “This Boy,” performed by the Beatles on their second appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, “All My Loving,” which was the Beatles opening song in their debut appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in Feb. 1964 and so was the first Beatles song that many in North America ever heard; the Beatles’ 1968 hit “Back In The U.S.S.R.” and the 1964 song “And I Love Her.” So, lots of Beatles musical memories were in the concert. Even “Roll Over Beethoven,” a 1956 song by rock and roll pioneer Chuck Berry, has a Beatles connection. See CLASSIC, page 35

single); “Wipe Out,” the 1963 international hit by the American rock surf band The Surfaris; and the closing “Sleep Walk,” a steel guitar-based song from 1959 by Santo and Johnny Farina which was the last instrumental hit song of the 1950’s. This free concert was the last of this year’s series of “Concerts in the Park” sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with the city of Ottawa. Previous concerts had been held in Richmond and in West Carleton. The Richmond Stittsville Community 4H Club held a fundraising BBQ at this concert at Village Square Park. Corn on the cob was also available. Donations were collected for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Despite the sparse turnout, $102 was collected. This brought the total collected for CHEO at these summer concerts to $4,000.

The Beatles were one of many who covered the song in later years. It is a song that Rolling Stone magazine has ranked number 97 on its list of the 500 greatest songs. Later in the concert, “Serious Fun” returned to the Chuck Berry playbook for his 1959 hit “Memphis, Tennessee,” although a 1964 version by Johnny Rivers was this song’s most successful rendition. The band returned to Wilson Pickett for “In the Midnight Hour,” his well known 1965 hit which is now considered a 1960’s-era soul standard. The Rolling Stones, that iconic English rock band, was not forgotten in this concert, including the 1965 song that really established the group on the international stage, namely “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” The concert also featured the Creedence Clearwater Revival’s 1969 hit “Bad Moon Rising” as well as the equally
iconic “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” one of the most popular songs by the American rock band The Eagles. And what concert of favourites from the 50’s and 60’s would be complete without a Johnny Cash tune and “Serious Fun” delivered one of his greatest, “Folsom Prison Blues” from 1955, a song that combines the always-popular themes of train and prison and has become known as one of Cash’s signature songs. The Gerry Rafferty-written song “Stuck In the Middle With You,” which was on the 1972 debut album of his band Stealers Wheel, was also part of this concert, as was “Brown Eyed Girl,” the 1967 song by Northern Ireland singer Van Morrison which has become his signature song. This concert also, somewhat uniquely, featured three instrumental songs – the 1962 surfing song “Pipeline” done originally by The Chantays (Indeed, it was their only hit

Kidney donor walks to help raise awareness Special to the News
0307.R0011949739
News - There’s a kidney walk coming up in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 7. Its purpose is not only to raise funds to help with research and programs dealing with kidney disease but also to raise awareness about kidney disease and programs like the kidney organ donor program. And one who knows all about donating a kidney is Helene Rivest of Stittsville who will be among the walkers in Stittsville’s kidney walk. Helene has recently donated a kidney, the end of a journey that began in Jan. 2013. Back in Jan. 2013 she saw a clip on television about the urgent need that Craig Dunbar of Stittsville had for a kidney. He was on dialysis but he needed a kidney transplant for long term health. Upon seeing the TV piece, Helene emailed Craig to find out how she could sign up to donate a kidney to him. However, after a blood test, she discovered that she was not a match and could not donate a kidney to Craig. But she also learned about the Living Donor Paired Exchange Program which would still ensure that Craig would receive a kidney. Craig did end up getting a kidney transplant thanks to a direct donor. But Helene decided to continue as an anonymous donor as she realized that many people need a kidney transplant and that she saw no reason why she should not do it. She went through two phases of tests. The first phase involved less invasive tests like blood work and x-rays which then cleared the way for the more invasive tests which determine, among other things, how well a potential donor’s kid-
neys are functioning. If at any point in this testing something is discovered that would prevent a person from being a donor, the process stops. During all of this testing, Helene was kept fully informed of what was being done and all of her questions were answered. Indeed, she found the whole process a big learning experience because she became more aware of what a kidney does and how important that function is. After Helene was accepted as a donor, the waiting began. She admits that this was a difficult part of the process because she was eager for it to happen but she had to wait while an appropriate recipient was found. But eventually she got the call and earlier this summer she donated a kidney, with the surgery done by Laparascopic surgery. This is a modern surgical technique which is known as minimally invasive surgery in which operations are performed through small incisions. She was out of the hospital in an amazing two days and rapidly resumed her regular routine with only one exception – she was to avoid lifting anything heavy. While waiting for the surgery, Helene kept busy educating herself on how the body works and the importance of proper nutrition. She exercised and lost weight, all to make sure that the surgery would go as smoothly as possible and that she would recover quickly. This is what happened. She got out and about right away as she wanted to show people that she was OK from the surgery. It was one of the ways that she wanted to raise awareness about kidney transplants and the ease of donating a kidney. See PROGRAM, page 43
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Helene Rivest of Stittsville, who just donated a kidney this summer, is looking forward to participating in the kidney walk which is being held in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 7, raising funds for the Kidney Foundation and also raising awareness about kidney disease.

All of these items will go into the Sept. 7 sale which will operate like a consignment sale. New style uniforms will be priced at approximately 40 percent off the cost of buying a new uniform. Seventy percent of the sale price will go back to the seller while 30 percent will go to the Girl Guides 1st Mosaic 2016 Independent Trip Unit to help it with expenses involved in sending 24 Girl Guides to Guiding Mosaic 2016, a ten day national Guiding Camp in Alberta. Those providing items for the sale will also have the option of donating the item so that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to help the Girl Guides get to Guiding Mosaic 2016. The Guiding uniform changed in 2012 so it is hoped that there will be many “new style” uniforms provided for the sale. With three years of Guiding in the new uniform complete, there should be many uniforms out there seeking new homes. The new uniform is the all-blue shirt with fooler accents of either pink, brown, navy, green or red, depending on the branch of Guiding. All branches of Guiding now include neck ties including the one with pink leaves for Sparks and the one with navy leaves for Guides. Even though all past uniforms are acceptable and may be worn by girls in Guiding, it was noticed at last year’s sale that both parents and girls are on the lookout for the newer style uniforms. The older style uniform shirts will be selling for $5 each while neck ties

Program has a high success rate Continued from page 39
Helene now takes solace in the fact that she has made a difference in another’s person life, although she does not know who specifically received her kidney. But she knows that her kidney is now helping someone somewhere and that makes her extremely happy. She also feels that in some respects donating a kidney has saved or at least prolonged her own life. Because of the process that she went through, she gained a greater appreciation of weight control and proper eating. These can help prevent such ailments as diabetes. So she has made changes to her nutrition and also now exercises regularly. She feels that thanks to these changes, she will able to continue to volunteer in the community and remain active for years to come. So, by giving, she did receive as well – she received a new, healthier approach to life. In addition, the whole process leading to her kidney do-
nation made her more aware of the challenges that people with kidney disease face every day. She now realizes how fortunate she is to be healthy and she wants to stay that way – hence the new focus on nutrition and exercise. Helene also feels that she has helped to raise awareness about kidney donation simply by speaking openly about her decision and her transplant journey. For a year and a half, while going through the process, she willingly shared her story with anyone who would listen. Helene has absolutely no regrets about donating one of her kidneys and says that she would do it again in a “heartbeat.” And she hopes that her story perhaps inspires others to make the decision and donate a kidney to help another. The kidney donor program has a high success rate because of all of the pre-testing that is done to ensure a healthy donor with a vibrant kidney. In addition, there have been over 250 kidney transplant surgeries
done in Ottawa alone, so the medical teams involved have experience and expertise in what they are doing. Helene points out that people have two kidneys but they can live a perfectly healthy and active life with only one kidney. That’s what makes kidney transplants possible. Signs have now been placed at several locations along Stittsville Main Street, publicizing the upcoming kidney walk in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 7. Everyone is welcome to join in the walk. It will start at 11 a.m. at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road, with walkers travelling along Stittsville Main Street to Papa Sam’s at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Beverly Street. This is the turnaround point, with the route then going back to the church. It is meant as a casual walk, so you can take your time or go as quick as you want. Teams or families as well as individuals are encouraged to help with the fundraising. Forming a team is easy: go on-
line at kidneywalk.ca and create a team there. Donations can be gathered via the Internet or in person. Last year’s kidney walk in Stittsville raised over $18,000 for the Kidney Foundation and the hope is that this year’s total will far surpass this amount. The key is participation. And if you cannot participate yourself, consider donating to the efforts of another. It is also going to be a FUNDAY SUNDAY at Stittsville United Church that day (Sept. 7), with a BBQ and other activities taking place on the church grounds. This is open to everyone in the community. Youngsters can enjoy cotton candy or snow cones, face painting, chalk art, an inflatable bouncy obstacle course and other fun games. There will be live entertainment as well. What a way to start the fall and what a way to help fight against kidney disease! Enjoy the kidney walk and also FUNDAY SUNDAY and help make a difference in the fight against kidney disease.

Stittsville News - Thursday, August 21, 2014 47
Blood donor clinic to be held Aug. 26 in Stittsville Special to the News
News - A community blood donor clinic is being held in Stittsville this coming Tuesday, Aug. 26. The clinic, held by Canadian Blood Services, will take place at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall on Shea Road in Stittsville, running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. To book an appointment to give blood at this community
blood donor clinic, please visit the website, www.blood.ca, or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888236-6283). Every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. That’s why the need for blood donations is constant and ongoing. It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient.
The simple way to shop for insurance.
Blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their
treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. The challenge is that blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. So the need is always there
and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services
operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Stittsville is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

48 Stittsville News - Thursday, August 21, 2014
Local fibre artist portrays the emotional side of illness News - The Trinity Gallery in Salon A of the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans is the site of a solo show of Stittsville fiber artist Jo-Ann Zorzi. Her exhibition “emote” is opening at the Trinity Art Gallery at the Shenkman Arts Centre this Thursday, Aug. 21 and will run through until Tuesday, Sept. 23. This art exhibition “emote” explores neurological disorders and human emotions. Among the disorders portrayed in a series of 29 silk fiber drawing/fusion pieces are stroke, Moebius syndrome (an extremely rare congenital neurological disorder characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side) and Parkinson’s disease. Human emotions such as fear and self-confidence are also explored through the art n exhibit. Each canvass in the exhibition has an accompanying statement verbalizing the emotion or the physical manifestation of the disorder. The statement also features factual information about
the disorder or emotion. The art in this exhibition is meant to cause the viewer to reflect on how one’s emotions and attitudes can affect the moods, attitudes and reactions of those with whom they come in contact. People’s responses to neurological disorders, for example, are frequently insensitive and arise out of ignorance. These disorders can be associated with both physical and/or emotional manifestations which are often not understood or are misunderstood and as a result carry a stigma with them. Sufferers of these disorders desire to have their reality understood and to be seen not as their symptoms but as a person in their own right. This series of silk fiber art pieces has arisen from Jo-Ann Zorzi’s familial experiences with neurological disorders and the profound impact that they have had. She has witnessed how great mental resilience and courage can counter huge physical and psychological challenges. This has reaffirmed for her a belief in the strength of the human spirit and its abil-
ity to move people forward, even in the face of huge obstacles. This has also forced her to examine how emotions and attitudes affect lives and the lives of those around a person. Jo-Ann Zorzi spent her childhood in the Lower Laurentians in Quebec where she was exposed to a rich and diverse culture that has influenced her outlook in life over the years. She spent years as a scientist followed by a career in the construction materials industry. She began to experiment with silk fibers in 2004 and in 2012, this art became her main focus. Over the last few years, she has developed her own techniques for creating her images. She has added wooden, linen, hemp and cotton fibers to her work, although silk remains the predominant materials. Her work ranges from landscapes to figurative to architectural to quirky. She acknowledges that she is largely a self-taught artist assisted by her own imagination and the world around her. Ms. Zorzi admits to be fas-
cinated by the unknown, the unexplored and the quirky. Her solo art exhibition “emote” runs from this Thursday, Aug. 21 to Tues-
day, Sept. 23 in the Trinity Art Gallery in Salon A at the Shenkman Arts Centre at 245 Centrum Blvd. in Orleans. A vernissage where you
can meet Jo-Ann Zorzi is being held at the Shenkman Arts Centre this Sunday, Aug. 24 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Pickling, preserving a busy time on the farm
T
he air was heavy in the summer kitchen. Spices, boiling sugar, and sealers in a pot of hot water, filled the small space with a sweet steam, covering the two little windows and causing Mother to take a swipe at her face with her big white apron whenever she had a free hand. It was pickling and preserving time on the farm in Renfrew County. The swinging shelf, in the dug-out that served as our cellar, was just about bare, and what Mother was â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting downâ&#x20AC;? would see us through the winter at least, and hopefully until the next crop of produce was ready for picking. The summer had been good to our garden. Soft rainy days, hot sun, and cool evenings guaranteed a good crop of vegetables, and the raspberries from our back bush, strawberries growing along the railway tracks, and chokecherries from trees heavy with fruit, were all turned into jams, jellies and preserves. The crops were so ample, that Mother even had enough to peddle in Renfrew on Saturdays with her eggs, homemade butter, chickens
MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories and sticky buns. Yes, the summer had been good to us. My sister Audrey, much older than I was, helped Mother, but I was considered too young to do much more than hull berries, or pick beans out of the garden. As long as I was in on the action that was enough to satisfy me, however, and I was grateful to at least have a hand in what was going on for days in the summer kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting downâ&#x20AC;? was always like a miracle to me. Especially when it came to the yellow beans that grew in great abundance in our garden. When I was sent out to bring in another dishpan full of yellow beans, I managed to eat almost as many as I picked. Mother trusted me to pick only those that were ready for â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting down,â&#x20AC;? and to leave the smaller ones which would
grow into a good length before you knew it. I would put the dishpan of beans on the bake table, and take a tin pail and go to the pump in the yard and bring in fresh water and pour it into the pan. It was my job then to wash each bean â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not a handful at a time, but one bean after another Then they were laid out on a clean tea towel, and patted dry. Mother fed them into big sealers, poured in the boiling brine, put lids on tightly, and turned the jars upside down, and there they sat for two days -- not one day, not three days, but two days. Mother said the timing was important according to Aunt Bertha Thom on the next farm, who taught Mother everything she knew about putting down preserves and vegetables for the winter.

Stittsville News - Thursday, August 21, 2014 51
Crops quickly turned to pickles, jams and jellies Continued from page 51
The pot of spices simmering on the back of the Findlay Oval would be for the pickled beets. The day before, they had been boiled, cooled, skinned, and were ready for slicing. And then they would join the long line of pickles on the swinging shelf in the dugout. Pickling and preserving went on for weeks. As crops ripened, they were turned into crisp pickles, preserves, jellies and jams with the sole purpose of seeing us through the long cold winters that were commonplace in Renfrew County, often cutting us off from going even as far as Briscoe’s General Store a few miles away. But we needn’t worry about ever wanting for something to put on the supper table. By the time the fall weather started, the smoke house would be full of
meat, the shelves in the dugout heavy with sealers, and soon the sauerkraut barrel would be in the summer kitchen alongside the salt pork. There never seemed to be enough money for frivolous spending on such luxuries as new hair ribbons when the ones I had could be washed and ironed, or long white stockings when last year’s beige ones were perfectly fine, but we always had ample food to put on the table. Father, believed it was a poor farmer indeed, who in spite of the Depression, couldn’t feed his family. We were indeed poor in the true sense of the word, but our bellies were full, there was enough wood to keep the Findlay Oval humming through the winter, the hand-medown box from Aunt Lizzie in Regina kept clothes on our backs, our entertainment was self-made, and good neighbours were always there to lend a helping hand.
“That was way to easy!”
“I just clicked and saved 90%”
Did you WagJag and get in on the savings? “I can't believe I saved so much... ”

Girls soccer team strikes gold Special to the News
Sports – For the second time this summer, the West Ottawa Soccer Club’s U14 L3 girls team has struck gold in tournament play.

Thanks to outstanding goalkeeping and shooters with nerves of steel, the WOSC U14 L3 girls team won the shootout 3-2, earning a berth in the tournament finals against the Gloucester Hornets.This championship match against the host
Gloucester Hornets proved to be the WOSC girls toughest game of the tournament.

Napoli’s Café celebrates 20 years of giving back News - For the past 20 years, Napoli’s Café of Stittsville has been giving back to the community in one way or another. Besides operating what has become known as one of the Ottawa area’s finest restaurants, owners Milad and Bassel Khalil have supported numerous causes and teams over the past two decades. The restaurant was part of the Superfoods Dine-A-Rama involving 100 restaurants across Ottawa which raised thousands for the Ottawa Re-
gional Cancer Foundation and its campaign to bring CyberKnife technology to cancer patients in the Ottawa area. There’s the restaurant’s annual fundraising charity dinner each December that is not only a way of thanking the restaurant’s regular customers but also has raised thousands for such causes as Roger’s House. And in 2010 Napoli’s Café was a major sponsor for Ottawa’s Bear Hug III which saw students link arms around the Rideau Canal
since the girls were born and it will be a much-needed break from the routine of chemotherapy and radiation that has been her life in recent years. Penny Clark, this young mother, and her twin girls are residents of Stittsville, with the girls attending A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. Despite being a week generally with less than ideal weather conditions, this Napoli’s 20th anniversary golf tournament at the Canadian got a break from the weather man and the tournament went ahead, with a shotgun start at 12 noon. Besides the golf, Napoli’s with its famous meatballs and Hy’s Steak House were both on the course, serving food samples to the golfers.
DON’T MISS IT !!!!
The windup dinner with its silent and live auctions was held at the golf course, adding to the fundraising for the event. Napoli’s Café at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street was founded in 1993 by brothers Bassel and Milad Khalil and their spouses. The menu includes not only authentic Italian cuisine but also home made pasta, fresh veal and a selection of fresh seafood, steak and lamb. Napoli’s Café has been a frequent recipient of the People’s Choice Award as Goulbourn’s Restaurant of the Year in this annual competition sponsored by the West Ottawa Board of Trade (formerly the Kanata Chamber of Commerce).

in downtown Ottawa not only to try for a Guinness World Record but also to raise funds for cancer patient care and research. And so it was very much in the Napoli’s Café tradition that a 20th anniversary celebration golf tournament held by Napoli’s on Wednesday, Aug. 13 at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville should also be not only a fun time for participants but was a fundraiser to help a Stittsville family. Proceeds from the sold-out tournament are going to help a young single mother of two twin girls who has been battling lymphoma cancer for the last three years. This will help her have the resources to go on a respite trip with her twin girls. It will be their first trip together

Sports - They’re a fact of life, just like a policeman is on the street. They are there to make the decisive calls and keep the game flowing. They are the umpires. The Stittsville Minor Softball Association (SMSA) this season had an umpire squad numbering about 50, aged from 12 to 22 years old. About one-third of these umpires are female. These umpires are recruited a little differently by the SMSA than in most other leagues in that every year the SMSA hosts an umpire training clinic delivered by qualified Softball Ontario instructors where interested youth learn the basics of fastball umpiring. Last April’s clinic drew over 30 local youth as well as another 20 boys and girls from the Ottawa Valley and beyond, including some from as far away as Napanee. Following the clinic, the successful candidates are assigned games based on their abilities and preferences. First year umpires are usually assigned base umpire roles at the Mite and Squirt level and then graduate to plate umpire roles and to higher levels of ball in their second and subsequent years as umpires. The SMSA does pay for eligible umpires to obtain their Advanced Certification
Levels. An online umpire system allows SMSA umpires to view their schedules and to block off days when they are not available. There is also money involved with the per game payment starting at $15 per game for first year umpires. This provides umpires with a source of spring/summer income. Umpiring allows youth to assume responsibility in their role. Umpires are provided with mentoring and there is a mid-season refresher clinic to help them develop their knowledge and confidence. The SMSA believes that the better trained that an umpire is, the more he or she can handle the role while also having fun in the role. Chris Pageau is the umpire scheduler for the SMSA. He says that being an umpire helps a young person gain self-confidence and learn to take on responsibility while also earning some money. He calls umpiring “very rewarding.” Umpiring with the SMSA is open to both male and female youth, even if they are not ball players themselves. Those interested in umpiring should contact umpire@ stittsvillesoftball.org. And just who are some of these SMSA umpires? There’s Hannah Sullivan, 14, who has been playing
ball since her youngest days. A pitcher for the Stittsville Selects bantams, she is in her second year as an umpire. She says that it is not only a fun thing to do but being an umpire gives her more chances to be out on the field and enjoying ball. And a big plus is that she gets paid for being involved with something that she loves – softball. Hannah plans to continue umpiring and personally likes to umpire on the bases more than behind the plate. For 14 year old Sara Prebinski, this has been her first year as an umpire. Just like Hannah, she has played ball for years and now plays as a centre fielder. She decided to become an umpire because she loves softball and being an umpire allows her to be around the sport even more. She has particularly enjoyed her first year as an umpire and doing the games of the younger players where she is able to see these young players having so much fun playing ball. Sara says that umpiring is fun and there is the added benefit that an umpire is paid. She is planning to continue as an umpire and is looking forward to calling balls and strikes behind the plate next season. This season she only served as a base umpire. Lana Mulvihill, 13, is another first year umpire who
community. She also wanted to be an umpire because her older brother is an umpire and she wanted to follow in his footsteps. She has enjoyed being around the younger ball players. Michelle Mulvihill, 13, who is Lana’s sister, has also become an umpire, partly because her older brother is an umpire and also because she
likes to help in the community. “Without the umpire, there is no game,” she points out, adding that she likes being an umpire and the responsibility that goes with the role. She sees umpiring as another way to enjoy and progress in the sport and, like the others, says that being an umpire is a lot of fun and enjoyable.

Sports - This weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U14 Provincial Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Softball Association tournament at Alexander Grove in Stittsville is giving the opportunity for two local umpires to officiate at this higher competitive level of ball. Both Ted Beingessner and Michael Olson, two of Stittsville Minor Softball Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more experienced young umpires, are both expected to officiate at this provincially-sanctioned championship tournament. Ted Beingessner, 17, has been umpiring since he turned 13 years of age. It was his opportunity to have a paying job at a young age while also allowing him as a longtime softball player to experience the game from an umpireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. He says that a player usually feels that the umpire gets it wrong but as an umpire, he gets to see the other side of the coin and says that umpiring is more difficult than it looks. Ted says that he likes both playing and umpiring, although he is not sure if he will be continuing as an umpire in the future when he goes away to university. He is looking forward to umpiring in the provincial tournament in Stittsville this weekend as it will be the highest level of competitive ball that he has umpired. He has done house and competitive tournaments locally but this will be his first Provincial Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Softball Association tournament. Michael Olson is another Stittsville umpire who will officiate at this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament. He is a softball enthusiast and feels that umpiring allows him to be part of the game more often than just playing. He has come to realize that an umpire sees the game from a different perspective and he feels that understanding this helps him in his own ball playing. He also admits that it is nice to make a bit
of money as an umpire. Michael looks forward to the challenges in umpiring, saying that an umpire can always improve on how to control the game and on interpreting the rules. He says that an umpire is always finding himself or herself in new situations. The only drawback to umpiring, he says, is the reality that his decisions on the field can make people disappointed or even angry at him. But such is the life of an umpire! He feels that umpiring is a great way to enjoy the game, improve your own understanding of the game and earn some money, all at the same time. He says that an umpire gets to meet

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report
REFLECTING ON SUMMER 2014 By Jim Watson With the summer almost over and fall just around the corner, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good time to reďŹ&#x201A;ect on what has been a productive few months. I visited all corners of our city this summer and was reminded once again just how BIG AND DIVERSE OUR CITY IS &ROM THE (/0% BEACH VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT AT -OONEY S Bay; to festivals around Ottawa like those celebrating our Italian, Lebanese, and Indian communities; to fairs like those in Navan, Gloucester, and Carp (upcoming), and music festivals for blues, folk, chamber, and jazz; Ottawa has not been short on places to visit and things to do this summer. In this busy summer two events stand out to me. The ďŹ rst of which was the opening OF ,ANSDOWNE 0ARK &OR ME THE ISSUE OF WHAT TO DO ABOUT ,ANSDOWNE IS ONE ) HAVE been working on since I was ďŹ rst elected as a City Councillor in 1991. To see the FRUITS OF THIS LABOUR AS OUR #&, TEAM TOOK THE lELD ON *ULY TH AND OUR 5RBAN 0ARK OPENED TO THE PUBLIC ON !UGUST IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME &OR TOO LONG THIS SITE WAS an eyesore in the centre of our city but now it is ďŹ nally coming to life as a place that residents can be proud of and visitors will come to see. It was a long road getting to WHERE WE ARE TODAY AND OUR WORK IS NOT YET DONE BUT SEEING PEOPLE EXCITED ABOUT Lansdowne again and watching them enjoy the different elements of the site has been one of the highlights of my summer.

Lawn bowling gold for charity Receiving the Chartwell Trophy for winning the Chartwell tournament at the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club on Thursday, Aug. 14 from Club president George Burns-Nichol, far left, are winning team members, from left, Robert Sault, Greta Sault and Hubert Moriarity. The Chartwell retirement community in Kanata donated $200 to the tournament and also supplied most of the food available during the tournament.
CAT OF THE WEEK I AM â&#x20AC;&#x153;DRAKE â&#x20AC;? A gentle kind, lovable male cat who is looking for his very own loving family to share his life. He gets along with other cats is playful and seeks out human companionship... Loves to be made a fuss over and petted as much as you can. He is a short haired tabby and white cat with beautiful greenish eyes... he would be a lovely companion to people who like to be loved by their cat.
The second event that stands out for me from summer 2014 is marking the 50% completion mark of the Light Rail Transit (LRT) tunnel. This was another project that saw many stops and starts, redesigns, and second guesses. But this council set those ASIDE TO ACT ON A PLAN WITH A lXED PRICE CONTRACT THAT IS SEEING THE CENTRE OF OUR CITY TRANSFORMED AND BRINGING THE REST OF OUR CITY WITHIN REACH OF TRANSIT EXPANSION (AVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TOUR THE ,24 TUNNEL ALONGSIDE 0REMIER +ATHLEEN 7YNNE AND -0 2OYAL 'ALIPEAU WAS AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR ME 7E SPEND A LOT OF TIME AT #ITY (ALL TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT BECAUSE IT IS THE BIGGEST INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT in Ottawa in decades. To be able to go down in the tunnel and walk through almost METRES OF THE EXCAVATED WEST PORTAL REMINDED ME JUST HOW MUCH OF GAME changer the LRT is going to be for Ottawa and its residents. And to meet and thank some of those highly skilled workers who are doing the tunneling work made the day that much better. It has been a busy summer but one that I look back on fondly. I hope that yours too was an enjoyable one and that we can get a few more weeks of summer weather before the leaves turn.
For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity. R0012846612_0821
