Sports - Nine men from Stittsville ended up making news across the sports world without even competing on the weekend of Aug. 9 to 11. Tyler Ferguson and eight friends from Stittsville travelled to Rochester, N.Y., to root for their favourite golfer, American Jason Dufner, as he competed in the PGA Championship tournament. The Stittsville nine stood out in the crowd in their bright red T-shirts emblazoned with the words Dufs Dips; a sly reference to to Dufner’s chewing tobacco habit and also a play on Choi’s Boys, a group of fans who follow golfer K.J. Choi. Dufs Dips performed some magic for their hero as Dufner broke the course record at Oak Hill on the Friday and went on to win the tournament on Sunday, Aug. 11. “We had an awesome time,” Ferguson said of the trip to watch the championship. The Stittsville group was picked out of the crowd by media and ended up being interviewed by CBS, the Golf

Sports - It was a first time event and boy, was it great! When the day was done on Tuesday, Aug. 13, the first annual “Refuse2Lose Team Bryce” Memorial Golf Tournament raised almost $30,000. This happened thanks to the efforts of television personality Kurt Stoodley who served as the MC for the windup dinner; the golf tournament team at the Canadian Golf and Country Club where the event took place; the Refuse2Lose Team Bryce volunteers and sponsors; and the 131 golfers who took part. There was not only the shotgun-start, best-ball golf but also a BBQ lunch, golf shirt giveaway, raffles, golfing competitions, a chicken and rib buffet dinner and live and silent auctions.

now achieved and indeed surpassed its fundraising goal of $50,000 for this year. Thirty thousand dollars had been raised through other activities prior to the tournament, so the total now stands at almost $60,000. The funds are needed to ensure that the Candlelighters Suite Seats program at the Canadian Tire Centre will be able to continue for another year. This is a program that allows youngsters who have been diagnosed with cancer and their families to attend a special suite at Canadian Tire Centre where they can view Ottawa Senators games or a concert or other event happening at the venue throughout the year.

It is a program that Bryce Jude, the seven year old student at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville who died last Sept. after a three year battle with cancer, himself participated in, allowing the Jude family to see its value as it allows young cancer patients like Bryce to have a place to go to have fun. When a cancer diagnosis happens for a youngster, it means that most normal activities stop as contact with others threatens their health with their reduced immune systems. That’s why having a suite at Canadian Tire Centre that is solely dedicated to young cancer patients and their families who are all facing the same challenges is such a benefit. It is appropriate that funds needed for this

Candlelighters Suite Seats program are coming from a golf tournament held in memory of Bryce Jude because Bryce, besides being a huge Ottawa Senators fan, also loved the game of golf. He knew all the rules and even at his young age could drive the ball better than his mother Dev. He even attended golf camp at the Canadian Golf and Country Club near the Jude family home. It is hoped that this tournament will now become a highlight event on the local golfing scene for years to come. Refuse2Lose was originally formed by a group of friends and family to provide financial and emotional support to Bryce and the entire Jude family of five during Bryce’s battle with cancer. Now, the family wants to try to pay forward the generosity that they received in their time of need with Bryce’s illness as well as honour Bryce at the same time. That’s why Refuse2Lose has committed to raise $50,000 annually to ensure that the Candlelighters Suite Seats program continues to be there for young cancer patients and their families. Bruce Jude was diagnosed in Oct. 2009 at age four with a rare form of leukemia. He embarked on a three year that sadly ended with his death on Sept. 7, 2012 right after his seventh birthday as a result of a neurological side effect from all the heavy medical treatments that he had received. After intensive treatment, Bryce was in remission and cancer free and in May 2011 he

was able to return to school at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. He signed up for ball and soccer that ensuing summer and had a great time. But that Sept. of 2011, his headaches returned as he relapsed. He underwent new intensive treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and then in early Jan. 2012, he was airlifted to Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital for a bone marrow transplant. His recuperation meant that the whole Jude family had to relocate from their Stittsville area home to the Ronald McDonald House in Toronto until that June when they finally all returned home. But in less than two weeks, Bruce’s headaches returned and the cancer was back. He was able, though, during this time to realize a dream of playing mini sticks hockey at Canadian Tire Centre with former Senator Nick Folgino who had become good friends with Bryce during his time with the Senators. Unfortunately Bruce’s health quickly deteriorated and he died on Sept. 7, 2012, only 17 days after his seventh birthday. Now the Jude family and Bryce’s supporters, through Refuse2Lose Team Bryce, are dedicated to pay back the community support and help which was received during Bryce’s three year battle by raising funds for the Candlelighters Suite Seats program at Canadian Tire Centre and help make a difference in the lives of other kids with cancer. The first annual Refuse2Lose Team Bryce Memorial Golf Tournament on Tuesday, Aug. 13 was one part of this.

More gambling would be harmful to Ottawa’s health, doctor says laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa’s top doctor says a new casino would be bad for Ottawa’s health. But if city council continues to pursue one or more new gambling sites, it should ensure the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation pumps $2 million into community-based gambling treatment services in the city. That would be a steep increase from the $741,000 the Champlain Local Health Integration Network currently receives to fund programs in Ottawa – a number that hasn’t changed since 2007. On top of that, Dr. Isra Levy, the city’s medical officer of health, says the city should allocate 6.5 per cent of its annual take of casino revenue (around $350,000 of the city’s current take from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots) towards gambling-prevention programs run by Ottawa Public Health. That figure is currently zero. No estimates on possible future casino revenue have been made public because it’s not known how large a new facility could be – or if there could be multiple gambling sites. The report released on Aug. 12 will provide ammunition for councillors who are opposed to adding more gambling options in the nation’s capital, a discussion that kicked off a year ago in Ottawa after the OLG asked municipal councils whether they would be willing to consider accepting new gaming facilities as part of its gambling modernization plan. The board of health will discuss the report at its Aug. 19 meeting and the information will also fuel a discussion at the finance and economic development committee on Aug. 26 about whether city council should ask the province and OLG to allow two gambling sites in Ottawa. While council had already indicated a preference to see gambling options expanded where they already exist in Ottawa – at the Rideau Carleton Raceway – councillors indicated in a unanimous vote on July 17 that they would like to discuss the option of another casino site in addition to keeping at least 21 gaming tables at the raceway. The public health report says residents’ proximity to gaming facilities makes it more likely they will experience problems with gambling. The report cites multiple studies that indicate that the closer people live to a casino, the higher their risk of problem gambling. The public health report reveals that in 2010-11, the OLG spent near-

ly $300 million of its $6.7 billion in revenue on marketing and promoting gambling and $51.1 million on programs to address problem gambling. “In recent years, plans to increase availability of and access to gambling across Ontario as a means to generate revenue have been proposed without concerted increased efforts to mitigate gambling-related harm among Ontario residents,” the report reads. “There is an identified need to improve awareness raising, early identification of people experiencing problems with gambling and to provide these individuals with timely and adequate treatment.” The report was met with praise from a coalition of nine local community health and resource centres that have been vocal in opposing new gambling opportunities in Ottawa. However, a press release from the coalition states the mitigation measures proposed in the report wouldn’t be as effective as simply foregoing more gambling opportunities in Ottawa. “The group of nine community health and resource centres have been clear that the best mitigation measure to avoid problem gambling is not to increase access in the first place by opening up a new location in the city of Ottawa,” states a press release from the coalition. “We are very pleased that they have reached the same conclusion as our nine centres regarding the inherent risks of a new casino, and we look forward to promoting this report with other city councillors and members of the community,” the coalition’s spokesman, Centretown Community Health Centre board president, Jim Morrison, stated. The Rideau Carleton Raceway’s 1,250 slot machines attract 1.8 million visitors annually, while three million people visit the Lac Lemy casino in Gatineau each year, the health report states. Both facilities are open 24 hours a day – something Levy doesn’t recommend for a new gambling site in Ottawa. In 2007-08, 10 per cent of Ottawa’s population reported using a

casino in the past year. Public health estimates two per cent of the city’s adults over age 18 – 13,000 people – experience problematic effects from gambling, but only about 280 of them seek help. Problem gambling can range from risky financial activities and emotional or psychiatric issues to substance abuse and bankruptcy.

SECONDARY PUBLIC SCHOOL IN STITTSVILLE A public high school in Stittsville has been a demand in the community since I can remember. I continually hear from residents who are concerned we still do not have a much needed public high school. The City is not involved in the funding of new schools; the Ontario Ministry of Education is responsible for the allocation of these funds, based on the school boards requests. A site is identified in the future development land located in the Fernbank Community Design Plan (lands between Stittsville and Kanata south, off of Fernbank) and I truly hope the Ministry will have the funding to build a school in the near future. I am assured that the Ottawa-Carleton District School board continues to advocate for this school however with recent accommodation reviews the board has a number of capital projects urgently requiring funding across the City. I strongly advise you to contact the Minister of Education Liz Sandals, your MPP Jack MacLaren and your school board Trustee Lynn Scott and express the need for a public high school in our community. Please also encourage your neighbours to do the same. Below I have provided their contact information and also please copy me on any comments you send to them.

Community Bible Church garage sale gives back John Curry News Staff

News - The sun was shining brightly in Stittsville last Saturday, making that old saying “Everything under the sun” even more applicable for the fundraising garage sale held by the Community Bible Church. Even without the warm sunshine and blue skies overhead that prevailed, this garage sale could have claimed to feature virtually “everything under the sun” given its wide scope of items for sale at bargain basement prices but having the sun front and centre, shining its rays down on the event, well, that just made for a perfect setting. It was, both literally and in reality, a garage sale offering “everything under the sun.” The front paved area at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street was filled with tables loaded with items for sale. And what a variety! You could get tin cans with scenes on them, skates, helmets, books, paperbacks, CDs, a plate featuring Winston Churchill’s image, tea pots, clocks, coasters, glassware of all sorts, a suet holding log bird feeder, an artificial Christmas tree, a variety of utensils and cups, ski boots, a bird cage, a set of four tire rims, chairs, end tables, toys, a coffee maker, a radio, a microwave – the list goes on and on. And what about clothing, you ask? Well, that was found inside the church, again with lots of variety and choice. There was also a BBQ held along with this fundraising garage sale. All of the funds raised last Saturday are going to help with the Community Bible Church’s ongoing partnership with the community of Seje in Kenya. A team from the Community Bible Church is going to travel to Kenya this coming October to assist with some of the ongoing work that needs to be done. The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has been partnering with the village of Seje in Kenya since April 2011. The objective of the partnership has been to establish sustainable solutions in agriculture, clean water and education in the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. In addition, villagers as a rule do not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. Through various fundraisers and support from sponsors, the Com-

A school for orphans has been started. A water system that draws water from a nearby river was built. Ten dilapidated huts have been rebuilt. They are the homes of those

who are sick or elderly and could not do it themselves. A community centre that serves multiple purposes such as meetings and events is being built. This community centre will also be used as a temporary school facility. The Community Bible Church/ Seje partnership has also provided

funding to support emergency health needs. Projects planned include adding another grade for the school, doubling the capacity of the water system, teaching farming techniques specific to the regional conditions and acquiring four acres of farmland

that will be owned and operated by the community, with the agricultural produce primarily used to support the school. More information can be found on the Community Bible Church’s website at www.cbcstittsville.com/home/ sejeproject

Give Ottawa its casino cut

O

ttawa’s top doctor says a new casino would be bad for our health. No argument there. A casino invites customers to gamble their hard-earned cash, promising a big payoff if they win. The problem is most people don’t win. For many, dropping a couple hundred dollars at the craps tables and slot machines is simply the price of admission for an enjoyable night out on the town. For some, casinos feed an uncontrollable addiction, encouraging people to gamble away their rent money, retirement savings, or in extreme cases their home. But these addicts are a minority, the cost of doing business. And casinos are big business for both municipalities and the province, taking in hundreds of millions of dollars from residents – an inelastic source of income. Dr. Isra Levy, Ottawa’s chief medical officer of health, who is obviously a realist, realizes the city will be unable to resist the lure of building a casino. As a realist, Levy is recommending the city pump $2 million into community-based gambling treatment services, a steep increase from the $741,000 the Champlain Local Health Integration Network

currently receives to fund programs in Ottawa, a number that hasn’t changed since 2007. He is also recommending the municipality allocate 6.5 per cent of its annual take of casino revenue, which amounts to around $350,000 of what the city currently receives from the Rideau-Carleton Raceway slots, to gambling prevention programs run by Ottawa Public Health. Levy’s recommendations are a reasonable compromise. If the city turns down the opportunity to build a casino, people will simply head across the Ottawa River to gamble at Casino du Lac Lemy in Gatineau. Since Lac Lemy first opened in 1996, millions of local and tourist dollars have travelled out of Ottawa and Ontario to the Gatineau casino. Every last cent lost at the Gatineau casino ends up in Quebec coffers. Simply put, we want our cut. We can continue to do nothing and watch money leave the province and the city, or we can try and keep a slice of one very large pie. If there are going to be casinos, it’s critical that the profits do some good for Ottawans and Ontarians.

Learning to fit in to the connected world

S

ome sights challenge your basic assumptions. Such as seeing an 80-year-old guy in a shopping centre with his laptop open playing solitaire. What are the basic assumptions about 80-year-old guys? First, when they are in the shopping centre they’re reading the paper, or talking with other 80-year-old guys, or maybe in running shoes doing the mall walk. Second basic assumption: 80-year-old guys are not into computers. Computers are for young people. Old people are confused by computers and do crossword puzzles instead. It takes only a little calculating to figure out why these assumptions are wrong. Personal computers became popular in the mid-‘80s and by that time many people were already using computers at work. So do the math: if you’re 45 in 1980, working with a computer, you’re 78 now and computers have been with you much of your adult life. Of course you play solitaire on the computer now -- you probably did at work. As an aside, it’s funny that you never see anyone in public playing solitaire with cards. The laptop in the mall is part of a changing world, one in which people of all ages

editor at 1 a.m. anymore, wanting him or her to settle an argument about the 1978 Calder Trophy winner. (It was Mike Bossy, since you ask, or Bobby Smith, if you’re thinking the 1978-79 season.) Our commercial world is now encouraging the omnipresence of electronics. We’re all familiar with the laptop in the coffee shop -all too familiar, if we’re searching for a seat. It used to be that only the trendier places enabled laptoppers to connect via Wi-Fi. Now Wi-Fi is in Tim Hortons, not to mention just about every roadside motel. More and more enterprises, from airports to shopping centres, are accommodating themselves to the computer generation -- which, as we have now seen, includes all generations. Church is next. There may remain a few generational differences. My guess is that many older people haven’t quite figured out how Twitter is relevant to their lives and Facebook is a taste that not all of them have acquired -- although the appeal of daily photos of grandchildren may be luring some older people in. The initial impulse is to regret the fact that the wireless generation is now all of us, that the Wi-Fi has come to the shopping centre. We picture malls jammed with Sudoku-play-

ing senior laptoppers, added to the hoards of teenagers and lawyers staring into their phones. But it may not be so bad. For one thing, it may help get people out of their houses. The sad irony about computers is they help us get in touch with the world while we sit alone in front of the screen. So even if the senior is going to the mall to check his email or play solitaire, at least he’s surrounded by other people. He may even bump into someone he knows and can grab a coffee, if all the seats aren’t already occupied by people with laptops.

News - An American evangelist, author and Bible teacher will be appearing in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 14. Beth Moore, who founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live on God’s Word, will not be physically in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 14 but she will be here via a day-long simulcast. It is expected that this global, one day simulcast will be viewed by 250,000 women around the world including those who watch the simulcast in Stittsville. In Stittsville, this Beth Moore simulcast will be shown at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street. Women of all ages are invited to attend this special day to hear this evangelist who focuses on aiding women who desire to model their lives on evangelical Christian principles. In 2011, a Beth Moore simulcast was broadcast from an American prison where she was visiting. This year’s broadcast topic will not be announced until she starts speaking on the broadcast but those listening can be assured that they will be captivated and awestruck by what she shares. And those attending can expect to hear a fresh perspective, simply because Beth Moore loves to laugh and loves the Lord. She tries to encourage women through their ups and downs and she loves to cheer women on, not matter what their role in life. Her goal is to see women live full and extraordinary lives in spite of any adverse circumstances. This Beth Moore simulcast will be shown on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Tickets to attend the event are now available at a cost of $30 per person. This includes lunch and refreshments throughout the day. Lunch will also include a vegetarian option. There is also an option to reserve a table where the payment for six tickets will see the provision of a seventh ticket for free. When registering, please advise of any dietary restrictions. The Community Bible Church is a nut free and peanut free facility. To purchase tickets for this Beth Moore simulcast event, visit www.eventbrite.ca and search for “Beth Moore Simulcast 2013 – Stittsville.� For those who do not have access to a computer, please call Laura Buder at 613-832-2409 to reserve your tickets. Beth Moore founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live on God’s Word. She has written numerous books and Bible studies including “Breaking Free,� “Believing God,� “The Patriarchs� and “James; Mercy Triumphs.� Beth Moore Bible study groups are now all around the world. Every Wednesday, Beth can be seen teaching Bible study on the television program “Life Today with James and Betty Robison.� A renowned storyteller, Beth Moore is known to pepper her teaching with stories and poems written from the perspective of pertinent characters. She is known to communicate with great energy, passion, humour, warmth and grace.

Beth Moore focuses on the Scripture that God lays on her heart for each event such as this upcoming simulcast. This means that no two presentations are the same. As she explores the Bible and how it applies to real life, you will be amazed by her own experience as a believer and you will be inspired to magnify and strengthen your own relationship with God.

he death of 32-yearold Winnipeg mother Lisa Gibson just days after her daughter and infant son were found dead in their home is nothing short of tragic. At a memorial service, there were rallying cries for an examination into Manitoba’s mental health services. While it is not yet known whether Gibson killed her children, it is known that she suffered from a severe form of post-partum depression. Across social media, people began questioning what would compel a mother to kill her own offspring. Maybe, one friend pondered, mothers feel too far removed from parenting by instinct. Anyone who has children, or who is going to have a child, or who even thinks about having children is immediately offered a platter of unsolicited advice, she noted. Not to mention the Internet. Between our obsession with celebrity parents and the mommy bloggers and newson-demand, it’s hard to avoid conflicting information on parenting wherever you go. But if mothers are more depressed than they have been in the past, I’d wager it has more to do with the isolation of motherhood than with anything else. Until the post-war era,

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse most women stayed home with their children, which is isolating unto itself. But many lived in multi-generational homes, which meant a lot of women had their own mothers, aunts and sisters to help them through the tough moments of parenting. And there are many. In many Aboriginal cultures, likewise, the community is very much expected to help raise children. It is not meant to be a solo venture. But in modern day, we have women – often women who have been active in their social and work lives – suddenly confined to the home when baby is born. This is even more pronounced with the current push for attachment parenting techniques, with the underlying message that women should never be away from their children for a second. Eight years ago, when my first child was born, I remember waking him in the morning and thinking, “what am I going to do with you all day?� None of my friends had children and

I had only recently moved back to Ottawa, in a neighbourhood where I didn’t really know anyone. At that time, my spouse was travelling for work, which meant 12 hours a day – and more during the night-waking phase – I was completely on my own. Sometimes I’d wander the neighbourhood or the mall, hoping to meet someone like me. I remember looking forward to his check-ups at the doctor’s office, as an excuse to get us out of the house so I could speak to another adult. I eventually discovered playgroups, which were more for my socialization than for my child’s. I’d show up thirty minutes early for one particularly popular group in Vanier at the time, determined to get a place for a couple of hours. I was fortunate to find a couple of women and men there that liked to talk politics and world affairs. I wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to carry on complete conversations, with our focus always on the kids. I’ve seen women, like me,

walking around the neighbourhood we now live in, hoping to catch a glimpse of another parent and child, someone, anyone they can talk to. My friends in other cities, away from their families and friends, post on Facebook frequently, a call to the outside world to “Please talk to me in something other than single syllables!� While midwives, maternity hospital staff and community centres these days are very good at pushing breastfeed-

Please talk to me in something other than single syllables!

ing and attachment parenting, they’re not so good at reminding women that it’s not only okay, but recommended, that they maintain some connection with the adults in their lives. Before baby arrives, all those advising women, and women, themselves, would do well to propagate the importance of establishing social and professional networks that can be maintained – as a high priority – post-partum. Otherwise, I guarantee, mothering an infant may be one of the most isolating things you ever do.

This will be the final movie in a summer-long series of free Tuesday evening movies shown at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. And what a movie! The movie won five Academy Awards including a Best Actress Oscar for Julie Andrews who played the role of Mary Poppins in the movie.

The song “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious� was sung in the movie by Julie Andrews and her co-star, Dick Van Dyke. The song is sung just after Mary Poppins wins a horse race and is surrounded by reporters who pepper her with questions but find that she is, in their view, at a loss for words. Mary

Poppins disagrees with this assessment and suggests that at least one word is appropriate for the situation.

Villagefest to celebrate approaching fall season with many activities John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

NOW RELEASED TALOS HAS LAUNCHED THEIR NEWEST COMMUNITY IN RICHMOND

customizable bungalows & 2-storey’s

News - Pancake breakfast will launch this year’s Villagefest activities in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 7. The Stittsville volunteer firefighters at Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street beside the Stittsville library branch will be hosting a pancake breakfast at the fire hall to get the Villagefest day underway. The scene will then shift to Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street where activities will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. These activities will include a performance by Cuppa Soup, a Dixieland music band that has been active in the Ottawa area since 1988, raising funds for soup kitchens and food banks. Another performer at this year’s Villagefest will be Yoshi Chladny, a juggler par excellence. A native of Ottawa, he mastered his craft when he trained and coached at L’ecole de Cirque de Verdun in the circus capital of Canada, Montreal. He has performed with the Equestrian Circus production Cabrioles in Saguenay, Quebec and has also appeared on television. But the entertainment will be only part of the excitement at this year’s Villagefest Big Sky Ranch of Kemptville will be on hand

with an assortment of animals. It is the only non-kill animal sanctuary of its kind in Eastern Ontario which works with many kinds of animals. So you don’t know exactly what animals you will see at their display at Villagefest. But they will all be animals that Big Sky Ranch has rehabilitated from abuse or injury or who have been abandoned by owners. Villagefest plans also include a classic car show as well as wagon hay rides along the Trans Canada Trail. And there will be games for youngsters like noodle hockey, sack races, egg-on-spoon races and croquet golf. There will also be clothesline art for youngsters to enjoy. It’s all meant to provide an opportunity for Stittsville residents to drop into Village Square Park and have a good time, not only enjoying all of the activities going on but also to enjoy chatting and visiting with friends and neighbours whom they might not have seen over the summer. Villagefest, organized by the Stittsville Village Association, is a celebration meant to kick off the fall season in Stittsville. Villagefest 2013 will be taking place on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in the heart of Stittsville. There is no admission charge and everyone is welcome to attend.

RICHMOND GATE will feature Single family homes, both bungalow and 2-storey designs on 65’ lots. Talos is keeping some of their popular designs from the past and introducing new designs to their line-up for this exciting new community. VISIT US AT TALOSHOMES.COM OR AT OUR SALES CENTRE:

Celebrate the new school year

®

Lifestyle - Why not organize a back to school party this year? Turning the first day of school into a festive occasion is a great way to start off the new school year on the right foot. You probably already know that eating breakfast is vital for energy and for increasing one’s capacity to learn. Make your back-to-school breakfast a colourful affair. Set the table with fresh flowers and new placemats, and concoct a healthy breakfast that’s a bit out of the ordinary. If your children aren’t hungry, a smoothie and a small homemade fat-free muffin are easy to manage, even for small stomachs that are feeling queasy with stress. Before leaving home, be sure to take the traditional photograph at the front door. The idea may seem old-fashioned to you, but these annual photos will become great memories for the entire family. Create an album just for these back-to-school photos and in a few years time you’ll all have fun looking through it. When your children get home after their first day back at school, give them a surprise, a little reward to make them feel better after what can often be a stressful day. You don’t need to spend a fortune to put smiles on their faces – serving their favourite meal or taking everybody out to a restaurant is a great way to finish off the day. Above all, this is an occasion to spend time together as a family, a moment to support each SUBMITTED other in making the peaceful transition from the quiet of the summer to the regular school year Make the first day back to school a special one – serve a special breakfast and a fun suproutine. per.

A few tips for parents of teenagers

Lifestyle - Some experts believe it is a mistake for parents to think that their teenagers, no matter what their age, are old enough to take complete responsibility for their school obligations all by themselves. Even the most independent teenagers sometimes need to be encouraged to stay motivated. Your role as a parent is crucial during all of your children’s school years. Take an interest in what they do. Take the time to talk to them every day in order to know how their day went, what subjects were taught, and what they liked or disliked. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and be attentive to their answers. The goal is to let your teenagers know that you are truly interested in their lives. If their school results are not what you’d hoped for, don’t go on and on about their weak points. Congratulate them on their efforts and help them find solutions to their problems. On the other hand, if they never seem to have any homework, it may be a sign that they are lacking confidence or commitment. Discuss this with them, check their agendas, and don’t hesitate to contact their school for more information. Remember that while your child is living at home, you are still their parent and it is reasonable to ask for a minimal commitment from them.

Encourage learning by creating a stimulating and positive atmosphere at home. LEARNING

Encourage learning by creating a stimulating and positive atmosphere at home. Set up a work area in a quiet, well-lit room. Apart from providing an organized home office area, parents can also help their teenagers get organized. Skills that your children must learn include establishing good work habits, managing time, submitting work according to deadlines, balancing study time and relaxation time, and preparing for exams. You are their best ally in the acquisition of these skills.Lastly, keep a careful eye on their life habits: the good management of diet, sleep, and extracurricular activities are decisive factors in your child’s educational success.

Lifestyle - Sarah doesn’t like math. She has difficulty reading and writing numbers, she can’t remember her multiplication tables, and the simplest calculation discourages her. When she’s asked to solve a problem, the task is laborious and she feels stupid. Sarah may suffer from a math disability: dyscalculia, or numlexia. Dyscalculia is to numbers what dyslexia is to letters. The number 243 can turn into 200403 inside the heads of children with dyscalculia. They use their fingers when asked to count, and addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are incomprehensible. There are several outward signs of this learning disability, but they have nothing to do with intellectual disability or sensory disorders. Before diagnosing dyscalculia, health pro-

fessionals eliminate other hypotheses, such as problems with vision, hearing, or the consequences of brain trauma, for example. A neuropsychological examination is then conducted in order to assess intellectual quotient, concentration, memory and language. These procedures may seem to take a long time, but they are vital in order to avoid making a premature diagnosis, which could point doctors in the wrong direction. Children diagnosed with dyscalculia are treated by a speech therapist. The length of the treatment varies, as each case is unique, but excellent results are entirely possible. If you’re concerned that your child may suffer from a math disability, talk about it with a professional who will be able to direct you towards appropriate assessments and treatments.

Changing schools smoothly

R0012264113

Lifestyle - Having to move house can be a major source of stress for children. When a change of school is also involved, the emotional impact can be huge. Children need the support of their parents in order for this transition to go as smoothly as possible. Just because they are young doesn’t mean that children can adapt easily to upheaval in their lives. Just as adults do, kids need time to get used to change. The stress of a transition might manifest itself as sudden mood swings, nightmares, or minor physical discomfort. Even insomnia can make an appearance. To prevent some of these reactions, parents have everything to gain by preparing their children for a move. The best kind of start is to put all your cards on the table and explain frankly to children why they have to move and what it will involve. After this, parents must listen carefully as they give children time to verbalize their worries. It is important that children feel comfortable expressing what they are feeling. For the transition to go smoothly, it is essential that parents supply points of reference for their children. Taking the time to visit new classrooms, meet the teachers, and see other students will help them develop more confidence. On the way home, a conversation about the positive aspects of the visit will help other fears to dissipate. Of course, parents should not expect that all their children’s misgivings will disappear like magic. But by being calm and patient, parents can make their children feel secure enough that the transition to a new school and neighbourhood can go smoothly.

My child is ready for school, but I’m not The first day of school can be more upsetting for the parents than the child

Lifestyle - Watching children leave home for their very first day of school is always an emotional time for parents. After a last goodbye, many mums and dads will spill tears of joy and pride, but sometimes those tears can be caused by anguish and worry. Leaving children in the hands of strangers is never easy.

Parents must prepare themselves in advance so they can keep their composure during this big day in the lives of their children. It is helpful to establish the new routine several days before school starts. Set the alarm clock to wake up at a reasonable hour and take the time to eat breakfast with your children. Practise taking the route to school. In other words, if you get your children used to the new routine, you will probably feel reassured as well. I the last days before school starts, and after offering all the support you can give to your children, give yourself some time to catch your breath. You deserve a break after all the back-to-

school rushing around. Relax in a candle-lit bubble bath, go for a walk or distract yourself with a good book. Acknowledge your feelings without any judgment, and just try to enjoy yourself. It is OK to feel nervous, but do try to avoid becoming overwhelmed by anxiety. This would be upsetting to your children. Little boys and girls are very perceptive. By showing that they are in control of the situation, parents will help their children feel safe and self-confident. The first day of school is certainly a very special time, but it is a normal step in the life of any child. So relax, keep smiling, and above all, be positive.

As your child’s first ever day at school approaches, try not to be overwhelmed by anxiety.

Let’s all unite to end bullying

How to help children who have been rejected

Lifestyle - According to the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, at least one Canadian teenager out of three can tell stories about what it’s like to be a victim of bullying at school. Other Canadian studies show that bullying occurs every seven minutes in the playground and every 25 minutes in the classroom. Do these statistics shock you? Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, you have a role to play in putting an end to bullying.

Being different in any way is often the cause of rejection.

TYPES OF BULLYING

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a ďŹ rst step in the ďŹ ght to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning grafďŹ ti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate ru-

DEVASTATING EFFECTS

Educational

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-conďŹ dence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully? Several resources are available to you, including Kids Help Phone at 1-800-668-6868 or www.kidshelpphone.ca.

Lifestyle - Children who are being rejected by their peers are going through a terrible ordeal. Isolated, insulted and ostracized, they often suffer in silence, and the consequences can be dramatic. It is never easy for parents to help a child who is being rejected, but it is possible. Being different in some way is sometimes the cause behind this rejection. At other times, there doesn’t appear to be any logical explanation. Shyness, a nervous tic, speech difďŹ culties, obesity, or even having braces can be enough to set in motion the victimization process. Sometimes, all it takes is for children to ignore being made fun of for the rejection to start. And yet, some children who stutter or who are obese will never experience rejection. Children are best prepared by receiving help in developing a certain amount of independence and social skills, which allow them to cope with their differences. Parents who help their children from a young age to develop social skills are preparing them to be better able to defend themselves without resorting to violence (but rather through discussion or humour, for example). This also helps them to build their self-conďŹ dence. Parents should listen to how their children have suffered and, above all, take them seriously. The next step is to tell their teachers; school staff may be able to correct the situation through a class discussion where everyone can express themselves without fear of being judged. It is vital to encourage rejected children to talk about their experience in order for them to escape their isolation.

Children and the Web How to live with your teen’s look Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is always a good opportunity to remind children about a few safety rules: don’t talk to strangers, cross the road at intersections and stay on the sidewalks. However, in this era of the Internet, another important element should never be forgotten: Internet safety. Even though computers, tablets and smart phones are great for staying in touch or for doing school work, the fact remains that danger lurks on the Internet, including cyber-bullying and cyber predators. Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere. First of all, children should never use a nickname that reveals their age. They should never, ever accept an invitation from someone who asks them not to talk about it to other people. Parents must also make their children aware of the consequences of one of the most dangerous activities on the Web – the posting of sexy or suggestive photos. Once on the Internet, these images can circulate nonstop, long into the future. This issue has caused plenty of grief for many a young woman. Parents must discuss with their children the risks and the traps to avoid. Sitting in front of a computer screen seems to protect and isolate us, but the Internet is a window into the world at large. The golden rule is to never do on the Web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street. Because of this, careful supervision is vital.

SUBMITTED

The golden rule is to never do on the Web what you wouldn’t dare do on the street. In fact, it is recommended to set up the computer in a communal area of the home so that parents can keep an attentive eye on the use their children make of it. If parents believe that their child is the victim of entrapment or bullying, they should be aware that they do have recourse against this type of criminal activity. Record and print any conversations and contact your local police immediately.

®

Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is usually a time to renew the kids’ wardrobes. When children are little this can be a lot of fun, but once they’re into the teenage years it’s much more difficult to find clothes that will please them as much as the parents. It’s around this age that shopping can start being a real headache for both parties. Yet it’s normal for teenagers to want to express their personality through their style of clothing. Some want to stand out from the crowd, while others prefer to conform to a certain popular fashion or to a style shared by their friends. This can be tricky when an extravagant style doesn’t meet with parental approval. To keep the peace and prevent any conflicts from arising during a shopping outing, take some time to discuss your family’s style parameters before setting out. Try to stay open to new fashion trends and, above all, stay cool. After all, the more you insist, the more your children will protest. Opt instead for a compromise, either by suggesting accessories in the style they love or by offering them set times when they can flaunt their latest look. If that doesn’t work, consider giving them a bit of leeway. After all, is it really that bad if your teenager wears pants that seem way too big, or if the top and bottom of an outfit don’t really match? Be careful that you don’t spend your money on styles that contravene the ethics or dress code of your teenager’s school. Explain your concerns about wasting money and SUBMITTED leave the door open for other compromises. Adolescence is a period of self-affirmation. When After all, who’s never upset their parents with some it comes to your teenager’s sense of style, try to be unconventional clothing? as flexible as your values will let you.

School supplies: Let the race begin Lifestyle - And they’re off: the race to buy school supplies has begun. That’s right, the time has come to head out to the stores with your list at the ready in search of school supplies, clothing, backpacks, and lunch boxes. After all, you want your children to have everything they need for the school year and for their teacher’s class list. Here are a few tips to help you stay calm during all the tumult.

First of all, carefully examine the list of supplies requested by the school. These detailed lists can be big orders to fill, so start early, take your time and do it right. Some stores organize their school supply section based on the lists supplied by the schools, while others offer personalized help in finding items on the list. To save yourself some money, you could check the flyers of the various stores before leaving home. You could also buy some items, such as pen-

cils, pads of paper and exercise books, in larger quantities. That way you’ll have everything at hand if your children run out during the school year – you won’t have to go shopping yet again and pay the full price. Keep in mind that selecting products of a lesser quality could cause you a few headaches if they break or wear out too quickly. What you

should be looking for is the best quality-price ratio. Lastly, include your children in this shopping trip if they express the desire to accompany you, but be sure to set certain limits before you leave home. Let them know if there is a budget for extras, and if not, remind them that they are meant to be helpers rather than shoppers.

Back-to-school essentials

Lifestyle - We can’t escape the fact that a new school year is synonymous with the inevitable trips to the store to get everything that the children need. Of course you should always try a keep to your budget, but for some essential items quality should always be your priority. RUNNING SHOES

Group Discounts and Gift Certificates Available!

Growing children need good quality sports shoes to keep their feet healthy. Even though leather remains a big favourite because of its durability, lots of running shoes made with synthetic materials combine flexibility, lightness, and resilience. Choose shoes with foam soles for extra comfort. BACKPACKS

Choose a backpack that is no wider than the child’s back and shoulders. Look for one made

of canvas (avoid plastic) that has several compartments and padded shoulder straps at least five centimetres wide. PLASTIC CONTAINERS

There are two reasons why you should invest in good quality plastic lunch containers: buying reusable items is great for the environment, and spills in the bottom of lunch boxes will be avoided. THERMAL CONTAINERS

You should never skimp when food safety is at stake. Your choice of a thermal container is crucial for your child’s health. The temperature of a hot meal should always stay above 60C, so it is recommended to use a thermal container made of stainless steel with double wall vacuum insulation.

News - Calling all shutterbugs and photographers. Take note that Monday, Sept. 30 is the deadline for the submission of entries to this year’s heritage photo contest being sponsored by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Up until then, entries can be dropped off at the Stittsville, Richmond and Munster branches of the Ottawa Public Library. Entries must be colour or black and white prints, anything up to 8 x 10 inches in size. Entries to this “A Snapshot in Time� photo contest must be original shots taken within the boundaries of the former town-

ship of Goulbourn during 2013. They cannot have been previously published or entered in any other contest or showing. There are ďŹ ve different theme categories, with a photographer allowed to submit up to two entries in each category. Entries should be enclosed in a sealed envelope with each separate photo clearly marked on its back with the location where it was taken, the subject, the name, address and phone number of the photographer and the theme category being entered. In addition, brief notes explaining the historical connection of a particular shot are welcomed. Such information could potentially enhance the

points awarded by the judges for a particular entry. The ďŹ ve theme categories in this year’s photo contest are “Heritage Homes in Goulbournâ€?; “The Richmond Fair 2013: Tomorrow’s Historyâ€?; “Goulbourn Swamps & Wetlandsâ€?; “Links to the Pastâ€?; and “Heritage Tombstones.â€? This year, a new wrinkle has been added to this annual heritage photo contest and that is a special youth category, open to local residents aged 17 and under. The categories are the same as are the contest rules such as the photo must be taken this year within the boundaries of the former Goulbourn township. But in this youth section

of the contest, entries are to be submitted via email, with a one Megabyte (MB) ďŹ le size as the maximum allowed per shot. Such entries are to be emailed to YouthPhotoContest@GoulbournHistoricalSociety.org .For all entrants to this heritage photo contest, both young and others, there is no entry fee. However, all entries do become the property of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Judging will be based on both historic interest and photographic merits such as the use of lighting, composition and impact. Detailed rules can be found on the Historical Society’s website at www.goulbournhistoricalsociety.org.

News - Stittsville’s Kidney Walk happens on Sunday, Sept. 8. For this year’s second annual Kidney Walk, the fundraising goal has been increased. That’s because last year’s inaugural walk exceeded its goal of $10,000. So, this year the goal has been set higher at $15,000. This means there is a need for more participants, more sponsors and more donors. The organizing team headed by Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, herself a kidney transplant recipient, and Ruth Richardson is hoping to have twice as many walkers out for this year’s Walk compared to last year’s successful ďŹ rst-ever Kidney Walk in Stittsville. So, consider getting together with neighbours or friends or work colleagues or club members and turn out for this year’s Kidney Walk. The Walk will again start at 11 a.m. at the church steps of Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road and then proceed along Stittsville Main Street to Papa Sam’s at Beverly Street which will be the turning around point. Then it’s back to the church. At the church, there will be Funday Sunday activities including a BBQ sponsored by Stittsville Sobeys, two hours of entertainment by local jazz band Fonograph and children’s activities like an inatable obstacle course and a bouncy castle. Participants in the Walk will receive blue t-shirts showing support for people with kidney disease. The Walk along Stittsville Main Street will be like a “sea of blueâ€? washing along the street. Laptop computers will be set up on the day of the Walk so that people can sign up online to donate their organs after

death if they so wish. One in ten Canadians suffers from kidney disease while many others are at risk. Nearly 10,000 Ontarians depend on dialysis treatments while over 1,000 people in Ontario are waiting for a kidney transplant. The Kidney Foundation works to improve the lives of people affected by

Natalie MacMaster to electrify audience at Richmond Fair Special to the News

News – Fiddling sensation Natalie MacMaster will be performing at this year’s Richmond Fair. Natalie MacMaster’s three-decade career has seen her amass multiple gold albums, two Grammy nominations, one Grammy win, a Juno Award for best instrumental album, eight Canadian Country Music Awards, ten East Coast Music Awards – well, you get the idea. This Cape Breton fiddling legend has done it all and continues to do it. Just look at her tour schedule for the rest of this year – August in Dublin, Ohio for the Dublin Irish Festival; Haliburton, Ontario; Brownfield, Maine; North Hatley, Quebec; La Baie, Quebec; Louisbourg, Nova Scotia; Jamestown, California, for its Strawberry Music Festival; Pagosa Springs, Colorado for its Four Corners Folk Festival; Uxbridge, Ontario; Kitchener, Ontario; Aberdeen Scotland; Thunder Bay,

Ontario; Decorah, Iowa; Ames, Iowa; Madison, Wisconsin; Traverse City, Michigan; East Lansing, Michigan; Springfield, Illinois; Palos Hills, Illinois; Fish Creek, Wisconsin; Iowa City, Iowa; Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Cleveland, Ohio; Barre, Vermont; Plymouth, New Hampshire; Brattleboro, Vermont; Lewisburg, Pennsylvania; Alexandra, Virginia; Kilmarnock, Virginia; and Sarnia, Ontario. Some of these are performances with her husband fellow fiddler Donnell Leahy of the legendary Leahy family while others are full band shows while others are guest appearances or appearances with a symphony orchestra or with other fiddlers. But you can see that Natalie MacMaster is still very much a busy and sought-after performer. To have her appearing at the Richmond Fair on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 9 p.m. is being touted as one of the highlights of this year’s Fair. Natalie MacMaster has electrified audiences

all over the world, thrilling Carnegie Hall audiences and Massey Hall crowds. She has numerous television appearances to her credit including guest spots on Christmas specials like Rita MacNeil’s “Christmas.� Now a mother of five with the arrival of a son Alec in Aug. 2012, Natalie is a devoted husband and mother but her on-stage performances remain dynamite – she is an entertainer, fiddler and performer par excellence. Just ask her audiences who are left clapping, hollering and screaming for more. She even does some step dancing and fiddling at the same time, something which she has done since she was 16 years old and something that always brings about a great audience reaction. But it is Natalie’s majesty with the bow and her intricate technique in making the diddle sing in the Cape Breton tradition that really makes her an on-stage hit. And although Cape Breton fiddle music is her favourite, she also plays pop, rock, country, classical, jazz, bluegrass and other styles of music. But it’s always performed with a Cape Breton flair. This performance by Natalie MacMaster on the Richmond Fair’s opening night on Thursday, Sept. 19 marks the beginning of an array of entertainment that will last throughout the Fair. Natalie MacMaster’s 9 p.m. show on Thursday, Sept. 19 will be preceded by a performance by Chris McCann, an Ottawa-born singer and songwriter who has two albums to her credit. Winner of the radio station CKBY Talent Search back in 1982, Chris has been a mainstay entertaining on Royal Caribbean Cruises

in Europe, the Caribbean and the United States since 2000. Chris has been inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame, so you know that she is good. So Chris McCann followed by Natalie MacMaster on the opening night of this year’s Richmond Fair. Awesome. But it gets even better as the Fair moves along. Friday night in the arena will see performances by Alex Ryder and Kim Mitchell. Saturday afternoon will feature a performance by members of “A Classic Country Re-vu� which includes Mike Fahey on vocals and guitar and North American Hall of Fame Fiddler Peter Dawson, featuring music not only from the golden era of country music with artists such as Hank Williams, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard but also music from recent stars like George Strait and Alan Jackson. The Saturday night dance will feature the country music trio Blackwell and up-and-coming country music artist Chad Brownlee. The Sunday afternoon in the arena will then feature Bandit as well as country music headliner George Fox. This year’s Richmond Fair runs from Thursday, Sept. 19 through Sunday, Sept. 22 at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. Tickets for the entertainment at this year’s Richmond Fair, along with general admission tickets (both single day passes and weekend passes) can be purchased through the website Canada-tickets.com. This is a website run by Canada Ticket solutions, an Ottawa-based ticket management and distribution firm.

Traffic, flooding worries plague subdivision proposal Cypress Gardens’ third phase to include 59 houses, 81 townhomes Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Residents of Cypress Gardens worry the third and final phase of development in their subdivision will be the straw that broke the camel’s back for possible flooding. Residents of the area around Fernbank Road, Porter Street and Elm Crescent say their basements are already flooding each spring and that adding 59 homes and 81 townhomes to a 6.8-hectare wetland area west and east of the Stittsville United Church would make the problem worse. The property’s owner, developer J.P. Chenier, has applied to the city to increase the density from R1 to R3, which would mean about 20 houses per hectare. In the alreadydeveloped surrounding area, the density is closer to four homes per hectare, said Elm Crescent resident Keldine FitzGerald. She and her husband, Gerry Kroll, are leading the charge against the proposed de-

velopment and hosted an Aug. 15 public meeting. The city will hold its own meeting about the proposed subdivision sometime in September, before city councillors would be called on to make a decision. Some neighbours who attended the community-led meeting said they could foresee the subdivision causing a traffic catastrophe. The proposed development would have one road access from Elm Crescent, across from the playground, soccer field and ice rink. A traffic briefing prepared for the developer, J.P. Chenier, indicates the subdivision would add about 100 additional cars per hour exiting the subdivision on Elm in both directions during the rush hour period. That aspect bothered Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, who was invited to the meeting but was unable to attend due to a prior commitment but later commented that his biggest concern is about the single road entrance. “It seems that a Fernbank access could be possible,� Qadri said, especially because the proposed development is listed under an address on that road: 6279 Fernbank Rd. That’s something he can try to work on with the developer, Qadri said, but he has not yet been in touch

with Chenier. The News was unable to contact Chenier for this story but a transportation briefing report prepared on the developer’s behalf indicates that other access options were considered. “Other vehicular connections were contemplated/explored at Porter Street and to Fernbank Road, but these were deemed not feasible given issues regarding grade and alignment, respectively,� reads the report prepared by consulting company Delcan. The transportation briefing also shows streets can accommodate the additional traffic but adding a northbound left turn lane at Stittsville Main and Elm Street would help, but all-way stop signs are not warranted. The rezoning requested by Chenier would require parking spaces for 140 vehicles, the report states. WETLAND

Environmentally minded neighbours are also bemoaning an Ontario Municipal Board decision from several years ago that stripped the land of its protective “provincially significant wetland� designation, which would have prevented it from being developed. Faith Blacquiere, a Glen Cairn

resident and self-styled flooding researcher who spoke at the meeting, said filling in the wetland to build homes on might leave rainwater with nowhere to drain expect people’s yards and basements. “The development (in the area) has been closing in on this little basin and no one is looking at the impact of doing that,� she said. Diana Trudeau, who lives on Porter Street, said water is already coming into basements on her street and the grassy areas around her street remain waterlogged for longer each spring. Qadri said it’s “unfortunate� the development is proposed on a property that was previously designated as a provincially significant wetland. The councillor said he still needs to research more about the history of how that designation was lifted. A 2003 ruling from the Ontario Municipal Board outlines the complex history of the evaluations and boundary changes for the wetland. In that ruling, the board said the designation and wetland boundary expansion were not warranted because the wetland evaluation was insufficient and based on largely unanalyzed research from an advocacy organization, the Goulbourn Wetlands Group. “What is troubling to the board is

that a senior officer of the (Ministry of Natural Resources) relied upon the evidence by GWG without a critical analysis of the evidence,� the board’s decision reads. “In doing so, he not only set aside the opinions of qualified and experienced wetland evaluators but also did not undertake a systematic professional evaluation of the wetland himself.� HEIGHT QUESTIONS

Filling in the wetland might also make the land for the subdivision higher than the surrounding properties, said nearby resident Glen McDonald. Coupled with zoning that would allow taller homes, it could mean new dwellings might loom over existing homes, he said. Fernbank Road resident Jillian McKim was concerned about the impacts of increased traffic – especially concrete and excavation trucks that would be using a rural section of Fernbank to access the construction site. “It’s a safety disaster waiting to happen,� she said. Kroll said he saw “no point� in getting involved in a conversation with the developer, but other residents who attended the meeting said it might be productive to start that conversation with Chenier.

Plaque marks former religious camp location John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

0307.R0011949739

News - The 30 acre site running from Poole Creek south to Manchester Street in Stittsville is now a ball field, soccer field and housing but from 1898 to 1974, it was the site of religious camp meetings, first of the Holiness Movement Church and from 1959 onwards of the Free Methodist Church which had merged with the Holiness Movement Church. And from 1948 to 1974, it was the site as well as of the Mapledene Youth Camps, attracting youth campers from across Eastern Ontario, Quebec and the northern New York State. All of this was remembered and commemorated in a gathering and ceremony on the site in the centre of what is now Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville under sunny skies last Saturday afternoon as the Goulbourn Township Historical Society hosted the unveiling of an on-site plaque marking the history of the Holiness Movement Campgrounds and the Mapledene Youth Camps. About 100 people, many of them those who had attended the camp meetings or the youth camps at the site, were in attendance for the unveiling which was performed by the foursome of Goulbourn Township Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and Jim Wallace who was the last president of the Stittsville Camp Association. The newly erected plaque stands along the pathway which runs from the parking lot at the front of the

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

At the site of the new plaque commemorating the Stittsville Campgrounds (1898-1974) are four who attended the plaque’s unveiling last Saturday, from left, Eliza Jane James, her husband Rev. Reynolds James, Lillian Hobbs who suggested the erection of such a plaque, and Earl Trimble, one of the Board members of the former Stittsville Camp Association which looked after the Stittsville Campgrounds. Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena westward to the rear parking lot off Stitt Street and Forest Heights Avenue, with the plaque at the spot where the treed area surrounding the main Alexander Grove ball diamond gives way to the open space occupied now by the second Grove ball diamond and the soccer field. Thoughts and memories of the former campgrounds on the site were rekindled for those attending the unveiling ceremony largely due to the

reminiscences and remarks of Mr. Wallace who had a long involvement with the campgrounds and was one of those involved in closing the site down in 1974. He told how he first came to know the campgrounds in the mid-1930’s when his grandfather Rev. Charles Sells was the Holiness Movement minister in Stittsville and Munster, noting how two sons, Cecil and Harvey Sells, both remained in Stittsville, with Cecil working for Hobin

Homes and Harvey working first for McCaffrey’s Garage and then for Bell-McCoy Construction. Noting that the campgrounds were close to the railway tracks which ran through Stittsville at the time, Mr. Wallace commented that it seemed that at every religious service, just when the speaker was making a salient point, a passing train would blow its whistle and the point would be drowned out. He suggested that the train engineers knew this impact

from their whistle blowing. Mr. Wallace also commented on the “air conditioning� that existed for the wooden tabernacle building that existing on the site from 1926 through to 1971 when snow collapsed its roof. He said that the large white building had a square cubicle on its roof, with five windows on each side of the cubicle. There were pull cords which could be used to open these windows for ventilation of the building. This was the extent of the building’s “air conditioning,� he noted. He said that this wooden tabernacle building, after snow collapsed its roof in 1971, was replaced by a new quonset-type building which was used for worship gatherings until the campgrounds closed in 1974. Mr. Wallace also told of fond memories which all campers had of another white building on the grounds, namely the dining hall where the female chef rang the meal bell three times a day to call people to the meal. And the meals were “absolutely delicious,� he added. He told how the Free Methodist Church Conference decided in the 1970’s to close the local religious camps at Stittsville, Cobden and Shawville and centralize the camps at Wesley Acres near Picton – a larger camp serving a larger area. This happened in 1974, with the Stittsville campgrounds then being sold off, partly to a developer for housing and partly to Goulbourn township as recreation land. He recalled his dealing with then Goulbourn township mayor Betty Hill on the matter. See TENTS, page 33

Tents, photos a reminder of summers past Mr. Wallace said that the campgrounds over the years had become “a village within a village,� with dozens of small cabins and cottages built throughout the site where families would spend the summer. He said that the Wesley Acres campgrounds near Picton are now thriving but that the Stittsville campgrounds are still remembered through the name on a motel that is there – it’s called the Mapledene Motel in honour of the Mapledene Youth Camps which were held for so many years at the Stittsville campgrounds. Goulbourn Township Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell, in her brief remarks at the unveiling, noted the long and wonderful history associated with the Stittsville campgrounds. She also noted that the plaque came about thanks to the suggestion and instigation of Lillian Hobbs of Munster who attended the camp meetings at the Stittsville campgrounds. Earl Trimble, another former Board member of the Stittsville Camp Association, was among those present at the unveiling ceremony.

At the site of the unveiling, several tents were set up with old photographs and other memorabilia related to the Stittsville Holiness (Free Methodist) Campgrounds (1898-1974) and the Mapledene Youth Camps (1948-1974). There was also a register which former campers were encouraged to sign. Among the items on display were photos of a model of the Stittsville campgrounds which has been built by Bruce Pritchard. Those attending the unveiling ceremony were also able to receive a booklet published by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society and written by John Desmarais entitled “A Day in the life‌â€? which outlined what life was like when attending a Stittsville camp meeting in bygone years. Members of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s Stittsville campgrounds plaque committee included Marge Gillick who collected names and stories; John Desmarais who did research and writing; Reta Desmarais who prepared the displays and research; and Barbara Bottriell who was the project manager. With the formation of the

Holiness Movement Church in 1897, a committee of local church members purchased land in Stittsville for use as a site for camp meetings of church members. This was done in 1898 with the four church members involved being Richard Burroughs, Elizabeth Manchester, Ann Scharf and Mary Argue. The campgrounds became

The plaque came about thanks to the suggestion and instigation of Lillian Hobbs of Munster the site for the annual and general conferences of the Holiness Movement Church, with pastors and delegates coming from across Canada as well as from the church’s missions in China, Ireland and Egypt. Outdoor religious meetings were held on the site and later cottages were built on the site where families would stay for the whole summer, taking part

in daily religious services and hearing visiting evangelists and musicians. By 1918, the Stittsville campgrounds had become the largest camp operated by the Holiness Movement Church. In 1926, the Tabernacle building, the first permanent building on the grounds, was erected. It was in 1948 that the Mapledene Youth Camp was moved to the site from its previous Brockville site. Fire had destroyed the tabernacle building at this former site. These Mapledene Youth Camps, founded by Rev. Alton Gould and Rev. Charles McFarlane, started out as a general camp for all age groups but evolved to become several camps catering to different age groups with each camp lasting about a week. In 1961, two years after the Holiness Movement Church had merged with the Free Methodist Church, new washrooms, showers and a swimming pool were constructed on the site of the Stittsville campgrounds. In 1967, Stittsville residents were allowed access to the pool and community swimming sessions were held until the campgrounds closed in 1974.

Roasted vegetables with pasta a great alternative Lifestyle - This is a dry rather than saucy pasta dish, but delish! Once you’ve tried roasting cauliflower, it’ll become a favourite method. Also try roasting it on the barbecue in a grill basket. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 25 minutes. Serves four.

• 1.5 l (6 cups) small cauliflower florets (about half a large head) • 45 ml (3 tbsp) olive oil • 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each crushed red pepper flakes and dried oregano • Salt and pepper • 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced smoked ham • 24 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved • 75 ml (1/3 cup) panko bread crumbs • 1 clove garlic, minced • 250 g (8 oz) medium-size pasta, such as rigatoni • 125 ml (1/2 cup) grated asiago cheese

• 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped parsley PREPARATION

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower with olive oil. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, oregano and pinch each salt and pepper. Toss well and spread on the baking sheet. Bake in 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes, stirring partway through. Remove from the oven. Scatter ham, tomatoes, panko crumbs and garlic over the cauliflower and stir. Place the baking sheet back

Bible camp makes music Special to the News

News - “Kingdom Rock” was the theme for this year’s annual vacation Bible church camp at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond. Held from Monday, Aug. 12 through Friday, Aug. 16, this “Kingdom Rock” camp gave the youngsters involved an opportunity to stand strong for God. Each day the camp started with the youngsters learning a new Kingdom Rock song. This was followed by Chadder’s Theatre DVD series which found Chadder the Chipmunk delivering an important moral lesson. Craft time followed, after which was there outdoor time, snack time, another craft time and then the windup session with hand-out Bible Buddies and God Sightings.

Outdoor time at this vacation Bible school camp involved organized and supervised play time which included using a parachute, games and even a scavenger hunt. Friday saw the grand finale at which all of the children performed the songs that they had learned throughout the week, complete with body actions, for their parents, grandparents and babysitters. This was followed by a hot dog luncheon which ended with a St. Andrew’s vacation Bible school camp tradition, Richmond’s “longest sundae.” Watch for the pre-registration and other information about the vacation Bible school camp 2014 which will be forthcoming in the spring.

Amazing race contestant to hit Stittsville Special to the News

News – If you watch Canada’s Amazing Race, then the name Jody Mitic is familiar to you. And if you don’t know the name, we will tell you about him. He is a war veteran and also a contestant in the Canada’s Amazing Race television show. And what we also want to tell you is that Jody and his wife Alannah will be at the community BBQ event that is being held at the Stittsville Legion Hall and grounds this Sunday, Aug. 25, with everyone in the community welcome to attend. It’s going to be a time of fun, food and fellowship, organized by the Stittsville Legion, in partnership with the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region (MFRC-NCR) and running from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. There’s just so much that is going to be going on for these five hours. It’s something that you will just not want to miss.

There’s going to be a tug of war involving firefighters from Stittsville’s two fire halls – Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street versus Station 46 on Iber Road. Which station will prevail? You’ll want to be there to see. For youngsters, there is going to be a medieval bouncy castle and slide set up for lots of fun. The ladder truck from Ottawa Fire Services Station 81 in Stittsville will be at the event, something which is always an attraction for youngsters. As for food, if the weather is good, you can expect to see the Legion parking lot filled not with vehicles as might be expected but with food vendors. The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro is going to be present, with Bistro staff on hand to cook their burgers, just like you would get at the Bistro itself. There will be other outlets set up for such food attractions as hot dogs, veggie burgers and bratwurst. And it looks like a two-star general and oth-

Community sponsors of the event include Giant Tiger, Johnson Insurance, Dharma Developments and Stittsville Rental Village. And there’s more to be confirmed. The key is that everyone from the community is welcome and indeed encouraged to attend, not only to enjoy themselves but also to welcome the military families, many new to the area, who are expected to attend. This community BBQ will also see half of its proceeds go to the Stittsville Legion Building Fund as the 83 year old building is in need of some renovations and upgrades. The Legion Hall is the home of the Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion but it is also a facility that is made available for free to many community groups. As such, it plays a major role in the community.

CTV Ottawa legend Max Keeping will be the guest of honour at the event while City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is also to be there, as well as city councillors Shad Qadri of Stittsville ward, Eli El-Chantiry of the West Carleton-March ward and Marianne Wilkinson of the Kanata North ward. Members from all of the Legion branches in the west Ottawa area are being invited to attend. But don’t worry – there’s going to be lots of parking.

Year gave some hope during the Dirty Thirties

I

t seemed to me we lived in a constant state of anxiousness. Mother and Father so often wore worried looks that sent a pall over the entire household. The egg money in the blue sugar bowl never seemed to be enough to cover our needs. Frivolity, like a few slices of bologna from Briscoe’s General Store or a package of Cracker Jacks after our Saturday peddling of Mother’s wares in Renfrew was out of the question. And then one summer everything changed. It was almost like someone had lifted a roller blind in a darkened room, letting in sunshine. It didn’t happen suddenly, but it came as the summer wore on. The season started out like any other. Father planted the fields, Mother raised hens from chickens, packets of seeds arrived in the mail and were planted. But that year, as spring rolled into summer, I knew in my heart, that year things were going to be different. For one thing, there were

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories no frosty days or nights to kill what had been planted. But one season blended into the other, as if by some magic plan there was nothing to halt the natural growth in the fields and in the ample garden. That year there were no heavy rains to flood the seedlings or leave big pools of water in the low lying fields. The rain came as often as was needed. Soft wonderful rain and often, as if led by some outside hand, it fell during the warm nights so that Father was able to spend the days tending to the crops. The rain barrels, empty at night sitting at the corners of the back of the old log house, would be filled in the mornings from the runoff of the eaves as we slept in our

beds. It was wonderful soft rain water which Mother put to good use. That year there was no drought. Gone were the cracks in the soil at our back stoop that in other years we saw after weeks of a dry spell: parched ground, crumbling under our bare feet, and burning the soles. That year, when everything seemed to change, the ground was moist to the touch. And I would see Father walk the back fields. After the morning chores and often after supper, he would go over to the West Hill, cross the Bonnechere and look -- just look --and he would come back to the house and I could see a spring in his step that in other years was so

often missing. Sometimes I would go with him. Father was not one to talk idly, so we would walk in silence. And I would watch him stop at the alfalfa field and pull at a few stacks, rubbing them between the palms of his hands. The buckwheat field, the last to be planted, was already starting to turn to a golden brown. To me it looked like a large velvet carpet. I was too young to know why we planted certain grains or crops, but I knew if they thrived, we would be saved for another year -- I was old enough to know that. The hay was being cut with stalks dotting the fields. Many loads had already been taken to the barn and hoisted up into the loft. Unlike some of the other farmers’ hay fields in Northcote, there were no fancy bales in our fields, just hand-piled hay, gathered with a pitchfork. The smell of the newly mowed hay filled my nostrils and I often went into the barn and climbed the little

ladder just to look at the hay mound, and I would be filled with contentment, knowing our livestock would be well fed over the coming winter. Our barnyard held fat cows, sheep shorn of their wool, pigs contentedly rolling in the dirt and I knew our smoke house would be filled to take us through the long winter months ahead. CROWS

Mother’s garden that year, seemed to be spared the onslaught of crows and wild animals that often had their fill of the vegetables she had planted. For reasons unknown, our garden overflowed with produce, much of it to be peddled in Renfrew, and the rest to be canned in glass sealers to give us an ample table over the winter. And that year, the lone apple tree behind our house, had sprouted a wild crop and already we had our fill of pies, crisps, and apple sauce. Already, the shelves in the crawl space under the house

that served as a root cellar and a place to store Mother’s preserves and pickles were filled with jars of raspberries and chokecherry jam. And so that year, the pall of anxiety that usually filled our house, was gone. We sang joyously at night before we went to bed with Mother on her mouth organ. Father still fell asleep in the rocking chair with the Family Herald and Weekly Star spread out on his knee, but I thought the lines in his face were lessened. Still bone-tired was he, but with a look of contentment on his sleeping face. It was the only year I remember when the Depression wasn’t choking the blood out of our veins. All around us was the miracle of life. It would be replaced, as sure as death and taxes, the next year with the struggle for survival that marked that time in life, when every day was a challenge. But that year alone, there was hope that we would last to see another year of that era, known as the Dirty Thirties.

Breakfast at the park John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It was “breakfast in the park� time at Bandmaster Park in Stittsville last Saturday morning, Aug. 17. The park in the Fairwinds community was a hive of activity thanks to city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who hosted a pancake breakfast there in cooperation with Enbridge Gas. Once a year, a city councillor has the opportunity to team up with Enbridge Gas to host a pancake breakfast event in the ward. And while residents of the Fairwinds community which surrounds Bandmaster Park were able to enjoy pancakes, coffee and juices, sitting at tables set up in the park, there were more activities underway, all taking place amid warm sunshine beneath blue skies.

A ďŹ re truck from Ottawa Fire Services Station 46 on Iber Road was pulled up beside the park and, as usual, was an attraction, particularly for youngsters. There was also a bounce set up where youngsters had a lot of fun, crawling through it. The Ottawa 67s mascot, Riley Raccoon, was at Bandmaster Park for the event, offering high ďŹ ves to youngsters and circulating among the crowd. The Ottawa 67s also had a hockey shooting game set up which proved to be a huge hit with youngsters. Free tickets to an upcoming Ottawa 67s game in Kemptville were given away at this event. So too were t-shirts of the Red Blacks, Ottawa’s new Canadian Football League team which will begin play in the 2014 season.

First Team Canada nod for Rebecca Leslie Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - While the Leslie family has a long list of hockey accomplishments – from provincial team honours to OHL drafts – it’s the first time one of the siblings will don the maple leaf on ice. Rebecca Leslie, 17, found out she had made the Canadian national U18 women’s team on the Aug. 23 weekend, following a training camp in Rockland. “It’s been my dream forever,” she said. “To finally have it told to me I made it was amazing.” They took the girls individually from their dorm rooms to tell them if they had been selected for the team or not. Leslie, the first one to find out, had to celebrate solo with the Hockey Canada videographer until the next members of the national team were named, and individually filed into the room to join her. “The only person in the room was our video guy, Ricki, so I kind of celebrated with him” she said. Locally, Leslie plays for the westend based team Ottawa Lady Senators, where dad Ron is an assistant coach. She used to attend Franco Cité high school, but now boards with a family in Stittsville to make conditioning at the Canadian Tire Centre easier while balancing school. It was the second time the teen, from the Hunt Club area, was asked to attend development camp, but the first time making the team. Two other Ottawa-area players – Amanda Titus of the Ottawa Lady

Senators who attends Sacred Heart in Stittsville, and Nepean Wildcats player Josiane Pozzebon – were also invited to the training camp in Rockland but didn’t make Team Canada. While it’s her fourth season with the Senators, Leslie started playing hockey at three-years-old when her brother Zach, now an OHL player with the Guelph Storm, would take shots at his younger sister on the outdoor rink. “It started off … on the outdoor rink with him, and him skating around me and shooting pucks,” Leslie said. Her two younger sisters are regulars around the rink as well, with one playing ringette and the other hockey. The entire family was able to travel to Rockland to watch Leslie at training camp, and was set to leave on a road trip to watch the teen’s national team debut against the United States on Aug. 29 in Lake Placid, N.Y. Canada will play the United States three times in the series, which will be part of the preparation for April’s 2014 U18 world championship. Leslie’s next goal is to make that team, and eventually move to the U22 developmental women’s team. She’s been following a strict conditioning program developed by Hockey Canada at the Canadian Tire Centre. She sometimes has teammates train with her, but she’s also had to work hard on her own to take her hockey to the next level. “It does get hard,” she said. “But I always had that motivation to make the national team.”

Ravens face challenge of fielding brand new team Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

Sports - Rookie initiation will be a little different for Carleton Ravens football players this year. The newbies usually have to run to fill the water bottles for veteran players, and then diligently wait season after season for a starting position to be up for grabs. As Carleton University started football training camp on Aug. 15, every last player was a Ravens rookie. “A lot is expected from all of us, we all came here with a blank slate,” said Matt Lapointe, an Orléans player who has already graduated from Queen’s University, where he played football. Carleton will field a football team this year for the first time since the late 1990s. Almost all of the new Ravens football players are fresh out of high school; young players ready for their first taste of university football. Besides Lapointe, Ottawa players include Nathaniel Hamlin and Tunde Adeleke, both from Gloucester South and St. Francis Xavier graduates, Tyler Young, a Sacred Heart graduate from Stitsville, Nick Gorgichuk, a St. Mark graduate from Manotick and Matt Engel, a Nepean graduate from Sir Robert

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Tyler Young, a Sacred Heart graduate from Stittsville, is one of the Ravens’ key recruits. Borden and Yitzhak Rabin. Gorgichuk said the number of new players has both its positives and negatives. “We can set the foundation for future seasons,” he said. “Hopefully we do a good job at it.” Gorgichuk, a quarterback, originally committed to play at Acadia University, but decided to switch and stay closer to home, joining the Carleton program. Because there aren’t any veterans, it’s still a fight for every spot

He estimated this month’s training camp was the initiation to university football for 90 per cent of his team. There’ll be some perks being a hometown Ottawa player. Lapointe is returning to live with his parents in Orléans, where it will be a short drive for his family and friends to come out and watch his home games. “Planning weekend trips was tough before,” Lapointe said. “But now we’re right in the backyard.” The local players all said they expect a strong contingent of family and friends to come out to Carleton’s Keith Harris Stadium to cheer them on during home games. “It’s going to be good, seeing friends and family in the stands, some familiar faces,” said Young, who will live on campus. As the start of the regular season looms, Sumarah didn’t set a goal based on wins and losses, instead focusing on the work ethic on the field. “I’d like to see us go out and compete on every play – be a physical team,” the head coach said. The Ravens will play their first home game on Sept. 7 at 1 p.m. against Waterloo at Keith Harris Stadium on the Carleton University Campus.

in the Ravens lineup. Gorgichuk will have competition in experienced quarterback Jesse Mills, who played with coach Sumarah at St. Mary University before coming to Ottawa. “I’m expecting some battles,” Sumarah said. “They’re going to have to come out and compete on (gameday) Saturdays, but they’re going to have to compete during the week as well.” Because every player is new to the program, Sumarah said he expects it to become a tight-knit program over the years. While many university teams carry up to 100 players, this year he’ll cap the total at 70 to 75 on the final roster, to be determined after an exhibition game this weekend. That will allow the team to recruit about 20 new players next year, accounting for some inevitable turnover, to build the team as the years go on. It was a different type of training camp last week at Carleton University, as few of the players knew each other, while other universities have a crew of veteran players welcoming the rookies. “We wanted them to stay as a group on campus,” Sumarah said, of the players at camp. “A lot of these guys don’t know who one another are.”

I know of at least one individual that disagrees with me on this and thinks we should move forward regardless of the liability factor. Personally, I do not want to create a situation where a pedestrian could be hit on a crosswalk in a community that I represent and be at fault. That is the epitome of adding insult to injury. What are your thoughts? At the end of the day, you have my full commitment to ensuring crosswalks are achieved at some point in, hopefully, the near future. Energy East Pipeline Over the last two months, there have been many stories about TransCanada’s proposed Energy East Pipeline, which will transport crude oil from Alberta to the Maritime Provinces. While the approval authority over such a proposal would be the National Energy Board, as your Councillor I can at least facilitate a discussion with TransCanada and look for answers to questions or concerns you may have on the matter. I recently met with representatives from TransCanada and can provide some preliminary information. When it comes to the City of Ottawa, this pipeline is already in the ground and travels through parts of West Carleton, much of Rideau-Goulbourn and a small portion of Osgoode Ward before moving into North Grenville. Specifically, it crosses into Rideau-Goulbourn at the Highway 7/Hazeldean Road interchange. It proceeds south, approximately 1.5km’s west of Stittsville, remains the same distance west of Richmond before turning east, going under the Richmond Centennial Golf Course and proceeding south toward Malakoff Road. It continues south, 1.3km west of McCordick Road before eventually crossing McCordick, south of Mackey Road. From this point, it moves toward the intersection of Fourth Line Road and Dilworth Road before crossing under the Rideau River at the Baxter Conservation Area. Although buried, parts of the pipeline are quite visible through aerial photography, available at Ottawa.ca. As this pipeline is already in the ground, the work involved will be through conversion of one of the two existing Natural Gas pipelines to accommodate the transportation of crude oil. Conversion will include the conditioning of the pipeline for new liquid operations, removal of existing connections to the gas pipeline and new facilities required for liquid operations. Shut-off valves will be installed throughout the length of the pipe with further shut-off valves on either side of the Rideau River. TransCanada will also employ x-ray technology to ensure the every weld is up to standard. Safety is likely the biggest concern for residents living nearby the pipeline. The National Energy Board will provide much scrutiny over TransCanada’s safety and emergency response plan. TransCanada will also work with first responders across the country on this emergency response plan. They will have equipment strategically located along the length of the pipeline for quick response should any issues arise. The pipeline is monitored automatically and on site. TransCanada takes full responsibility for emergency response and clean-up should a rupture occur. Now, I just want to be clear that I am not speaking on behalf of or in support of this proposal; I am merely passing along information. There will be public open houses on the Energy East proposal with the first closest one being held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre on October 2nd between 4:00-8:00pm with another being held in Stittsville at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena on October 10th from 4:00-8:00pm as well. I will be in attendance at both meetings. Please send me any questions you may have and I’ll be sure to get them to representatives from TransCanada.

While I support crosswalks in the locations I have mentioned, I am not willing to proceed with a situation that creates a false sense of security for pedestrians. We need drivers to be liable should they strike a pedestrian in a crosswalk and we need the Province to amend the Highway Traffic Act to reflect that. I am confident that this change can be done relatively soon.

My personal preference is to have a safe, non-signalized crosswalk in all of the locations I mentioned above. The challenge currently is Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act. Driving through small towns in upstate New York, you’ll see crosswalks with signs adjacent to them that say “State Law”, meaning if a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, you must stop. Quite surprisingly, this isn’t the case in Ontario. If a crosswalk was in place on Manotick Main Street, for instance, and a pedestrian was struck, the driver would not be at fault. This is a fairly glaring oversight in the HTA and the City of Ottawa recently passed a motion asking for this to be corrected.

An issue that comes up from time to time is the issue of crosswalks, be it on Church Street in North Gower, Perth Street in Richmond or in Manotick on Dickinson Street and Manotick Main Street. My assumption is that this issue far predates my term as Councillor for Rideau-Goulbourn. Nonetheless, it is my job to find out why we don’t have them, where people want them and how to implement them to ensure the safety of residents.

Paul Billings of Stittsville, far left, gets a rough ride from Brockville’s Dave Wiltosh during a Vintage Modified-class race on Aug. 14 at Capital City Speedway. The Vintage Modified cars don’t hit the track every week, but when they do, they entertain the crowd, especially when they barely make it around a corner with their inside wheels in the air.

Nights of thunder Sports - Capital City Speedway has been a racing mecca since 1961. There’s still plenty of speed and noise at the track just west of Stittsville four nights a week. Wednesdays are for stock car racing on the three-eighths of a mile oval – about 600 metres. Cars race in five classes, including a category called 4 For Fun that features cars that are much like vehicles you’d see on the street minus exterior trim and the interior fittings other than the drivers seat. At the top end, the Late Model-class cars can rip around the track in about 18 seconds. Thursday nights are for fans of drifting: cars that skid and slide around the turns. Fridays and Saturdays leave the adjacent oval behind as the Capital City Dragway times cars as they run a straight drag as street-legal cars and narrow dragsters tear up the track. The season wraps up this year on Sept. 7 with Summer Slam 2013, which culminates with a demolition derby. For information, visit capital cityspeedway.ca.

Eight-year-old Parker Stretch of Stittsville is one of the hundreds of racing fans who headed onto the Capital City Speedway track during the Aug. 14 Fan Appreciation Night. Fans had a chance to see the race cars up close and chat with the drivers.

Bring unwanted e-waste to charity event on Sept. 7 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - When September begins, kids go back to school. For many, this back-to-school period marks the purchase of new computers, keyboards, monitors, ipads and the like in preparation for the new school year. This results in old, discarded computers and other electronic equipment. What to do with it? Well, worry no more because thanks to Capital Junk, there’s a free e-waste drop off event happening in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 7, the first Saturday after the return to school for children. And even if you are not caught up in this back-to-school frenzy but have old computer and electronic equipment sitting around your house, unsure of what to do with it

since you got that new computer or TV set, well, this is your salvation. You will be able to drop off your old equipment at this free e-waste drop off right in Stittsville and be assured not only that the e-waste will be properly recycled or reused but also that the funds raised by Capital Junk from handing in this e-waste to the appropriate recyclers will all be going to the Terry Fox Foundation and its continuation of Terry Fox’s fight to end cancer. This free e-waste drop off on Saturday, Sept. 7, hosted by Capital Junk, will take place in the parking lot at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street, running from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. This is the same location as last year when the free e-waste drop off at this site was not only a great success but also proved to be a convenient drop off

spot. Those with e-waste to turn over were able to turn into the spacious lot from Stittsville Main Street and, with the help of Capital Junk personnel, deposit the e-waste in the appropriate bins. Quick, easy and satisfying – and free as well! E-waste ranging from TV’s to monitors to keyboards to computers will all be accepted at this free ewaste drop off. Capital Junk is hoping for a great turnout again this year, as the fundraising goal from turning over the donated e-waste to recyclers is $6,000. That’s a hoped-for $6,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation and its work in the battle against cancer. Capital Junk provides full service junk removal for residential and commercial customers in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions. Electronic or e-waste as it is

known is no longer accepted in regular garbage pickup. Electronic items that are not accepted in municipal waste collection include televisions, desktop computers, monitors, laptops, printers, copiers, keyboards, DVD players and more.

Items are recycled or given to charities

This locally owned, eco-friendly junk removal business in the Ottawa area, Capital Junk, is owned by Sam and Dena Burland who started the business three and a half years ago. A large percentage of the material

removed from homes and businesses in the normal course of business for Capital Junk is either taken to a recycling centre or donated to local Ottawa charities. Remaining material is disposed of at a transfer station for further processing and recycling. For this upcoming free e-waste drop off, all of the material submitted will be dealt with in an environmentally friendly manner, with all funds generated by its disposal to recycling firms being directed to the Terry Fox Foundation. The Terry Fox Foundation became a registered charitable public foundation in 1988, independent from the Canadian Cancer Society. The Terry Fox Foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in discovery based research each year in Canada. It not only raises this money for research but it also continues to share the story of Terry Fox. The Terry Fox Foundation strives to maintain the heroic effort and integrity that Terry himself embodied. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg in 1977, with the leg being amputated above the knee. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients there that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research. He called this journey the Marathon of Hope. His Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the simple goal of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. He ran an average of 42 kilometers every day for 143 days before being forced to end his run on Sept. 1, 1980 when the cancer had spread to his lungs. By Feb. 1, 1981, Terry’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized, with the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaling $24.17 million. Terry died in June, 1981.

CHEO study aims to prevent ATV injuries emma.jackson@metroland.com

News – Young ATV enthusiasts are invited to tell the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario why they love their sport, in an effort to prevent injuries. CHEO will spend the next several months interviewing ATVers aged 12 to 18 years and their parents to study what makes the activity fun as well as risky. “We want to know what people’s experience is in riding an ATV and get their thoughts on what can make it safer,” said Corrine Langill, manager of health promotion and injury prevention at the children’s hospital. Langill said CHEO sees a wide range of ATV-related injuries every year, including concussions, head injuries, broken bones, internal injuries and, on rare occasions, death. The audio-taped, confidential interviews will take between 30 and 60 minutes and will cover a range of

themes. Eventually, Langill said she and her team would like to publish their findings in a peer-reviewed

journal to promote better injury prevention strategies. For more information

or to book an interview, contact Kristina Rohde at 613-737-7600 ext. 4128 or email krohde@cheo.on.ca.

questions including what parents worry about when their kids are ATVing, what kinds of rules parents and their children set in order to make the experience safer, and why youth choose ATVing as a hobby. Interviews can be conducted in the participants’ homes to make the experience more convenient, but parents and youth will be interviewed separately. Each participant will receive a $20 gift card, up to $40 per family. Langill said the study’s parameters don’t dictate a specific sample size, so interviews will continue until she and her research partner Kristina Rohde feel they’ve adequately surveyed the subject. “Once we’re getting the same information from people over and over then we know we’ve pretty much covered the topic,” Langill said. “There’s not a magic number.” The research team will then perform a detailed analysis of the information and pull out common

News – New federal rules regarding the production of medical marijuana has prompted the city to seek feedback on potential grow sites. Health Canada’s most recent Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations seeks to treat medical grow facilities as a functioning, licensed commercial business, given that it plans to stop producing the product by April 1 of next year. That means small-scale homegrowing and large-scale government facilities are out, and large-scale private facilities are in. And, because new businesses are subject to the municipal zoning regulations, the City of Ottawa wants to ensure the implementation of the federal policy mitigates community concerns. Already, the city has released a citywide zoning bylaw amendment proposal for the public to weight in on, with Sept. 6 being

M

the comment cutoff date. Those comments will be included in a draft report, which the public can then comment on until Sept. 30, at which time it will be finalized in advance of committee and council consideration. ZONING

The city’s proposed amendment will seek to clarify or provide new definitions under its zoning bylaw for medical marijuana production facilities, clarify the type of use under which such a facility will be permitted, and identify appropriate zones for such facilities. Media reports from late July suggested a potential commercial grower is already waiting for his chance to open a facility. Comments in regards to the issue can be sent to the city’s Planning and Growth Management branch by emailing Trevor.Illingworth@ottawa.ca.

Networking group gives women a boost in business Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Shawna Norwood knows how difficult it can be to meet people. She moved from Osgoode to Sudbury, Ont. in 2010 when her husband took a position as deputy fire chief and operations manager at the Sudbury airport. The founder of McLean Media and Event Management, Norwood found herself in the position of having to re-establish her business in a new city without the benefit of knowing a soul. Starting over, she had to get to know the right people – and quickly, she said. “It was difficult having to start from scratch in an area where no one knew me,” said Norwood. “I realized I needed to reach out fast and hard.” So she developed BoostWomen, a networking organization that offers women in business the opportunity to get together once a month for dinner, followed by a motivational workshop. The Sudbury chapter has grown to more than 400 members. “Never did I realize it would have the impact it did,” said Norwood. She launched the second chapter in Kanata last month and has plans to open a third in Osgoode in September. Norwood said she was surprised to hear there were few options for women in business to meet once a month and connect in Ottawa.

“There wasn’t really anything for them in the west end; not really any opportunities to network, have a sit down dinner, to get to know each other on a personal level,” she said. “I realized it was time to expand the BoostWomen in business network for other business owners to enjoy.” There is no membership fee to join; people just pay for the dinner, which costs $40. “We don’t charge for membership; no membership fees, no annual fee, no vendor fee to set up a display table – we don’t even charge for business to have their own unique profile on our website. Women pay for the dinner and that’s it,” said Norwood. “I wanted a group that was affordable for all … By not charging allows women to want to come out and see what all this is about. “When they come out and they realize how great it is and that it is a women’s networking dinner but it is also very fun and social.” The first local event, held at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Kanata, attracted more than 40 women, with some coming from as far as Orléans, Embrun, Casselman and Carleton Place, said BoostWomen Kanata chapter president Colleen Lyle. Lyle is a real estate agent with Keller Williams Ottawa Realty and founder of the Silver Lining Program, where proceeds from homes sold can be donated to a local family dealing with a life-threatening illness.

Kanata, Osgoode chapters open this year BoostWomen has given Lyle a platform to discuss her projects and connect with other women in business. “The key to being successful in any business is putting yourself out there,� she said. “You can no longer have a website and do some marketing material and assume you’re going to be successful. In this day and age it’s all about getting out there, putting your feet on the ground and shaking hands.� The Stittsville resident said she was searching for alternatives to the early-morning network opportunities because as a mother of three, she spends the first part of her day making sure her children are prepared for school. “I’ve actually gotten to a point where I just won’t do them,� Lyle said. “It’s unfeasible.� She stumbled upon BoostWomen, which fills the gap for female professionals who are balancing work, families and personal lives, she said. “The fact that you’re mixing business without the stuffiness, I don’t know of another group that does it and does it as successfully as Boost.�

opportunities in that end of the city. “I just feel I need to bring a group like this to Osgoode,â€? she said. “(It) doesn’t have a women’s group. I just want to bring something this fabulous back to my hometown ‌ so women have a means to reach out to one another.â€? Norwood, a mother of five children, said being too busy is no excuse to not attend the once-a-month dinner. “Women need to get out once a month; not only do you need it for personal development, you deserve it,â€? she said. “I could not have grown my business with such speed, but more importantly without the encouragement that women need from other women.â€? She added she is open to creating chapters in other communities in the city if there is a need. “If there is someone in the community where they feel there is a need for a group like this, I’m very open to talking with them,â€? she said.

The evening consists of open networking and the opportunity for people to showcase their profession or their products, dinner and a motivational guest speaker. “The nice thing about Boost was we all got to sit down for a dinner that we didn’t cook, talk as women and support each other’s businesses,â€? said Lyle. Lyle said she encourages women to check out a BoostWomen event. “Think about the possibilities of networking with people who want to network with you. You never know what could happen,â€? she said. “You could come out not only with a new client but possibly with a new friend.â€?

Kathy Thauberger stylist & colour expert

With more than 30 years of experience and an infectious drive to succeed, Kathy comes to us with a long list of inspiring credentials. Her lifelong passion for colour and style first drove her to seek out the opportunity to work as a colourist for the Michael Kluthe Salon in Toronto, where she was mentored under Lili Jakel, one of the international beauty industry’s most respected and influential colourists. After moving to Nova Scotia in 1992, Kathy worked for both Goldwell and Schwarzkopf Professional as Haircolour Educator for Atlantic Canada, in addition to her skills as a stylist ‘behind the chair’ at Hair Expressions in Greenwood, NS. It was during this 13-year period that Kathy received “finalist� status as Atlantic Artist at the Canadian Hairdressing awards, and was published in Canadian Hairdresser as one of Canada’s top Colour Success Stories.

After moving to Ottawa in 2005, Kathy became a full-time educator for Schwarzkopf Professional where she kept the city’s top salons (including Mahogany) trained in current hair trends and techniques, and was an in-demand on-stage presenter and educator all over Canada. To say that we are excited that Kathy is now bringing her skills, energy, and talent to Mahogany Salon and Spa would be an understatement. We invite all clients to discover why we are so enthusiastic about the introduction of our newest stylist. Book your appointment with Kathy today.
