EMC news - Stittsville’s ďŹ rst-ever Give the Gift of Life Walk in support of the Kidney Foundation is all set to go on Sunday, Sept. 9 except for one allimportant ingredient – walkers. So far, only a few teams have registered to participate in the 5 kilometer walk along Stittsville Main Street. But more are needed, either teams or just individuals who want to help battle kidney disease and raise awareness in the community about kidney disease and its impact on people’s lives. The more who participate, the more this awareness will be enhanced and the more funds will be raised to support the work of the Kidney Foundation. There is no amount of money which a participant or participating team has to raise – just taking part is more than enough but any funds raised will also be most appreciated. Indeed, anyone who raises $100 ore more through the Walk will get a special t-shirt from the organizers. But don’t think that you will go away empty handed in any case. Besides the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped in the ďŹ ght against kidney dis-

ease, you might also be going home as well with a gift bags, because there are going to be a number given away featuring items and coupons from local supporting businesses. Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst of Stittsville, who is the Walk Ambassador for this upcoming Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville and who is a kidney transplant recipient, is urging that as many people as possible come out and enjoy the Walk. Bring along family and friends, she urges, noting that there will be a free lunch provided afterwards. In addition, there will be a host of fun activities on the grounds of the Stittsville United Church which is the start and ďŹ nish line for the Walk. These fun activities will include an inatable obstacle course, cotton candy, games and a jazz/blues band. It’s being billed as “Fun Day Sundayâ€? and that’s just what it is going to be. But it won’t be much fun is no one is there, so think about participating in the Walk. While the Walk is being planned to go from the Stittsville United Church to Papa’s Sam’s at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Beverly Street and then back to the Stittsville United Church, a distance of 5 kilometers, walkers can walk any or all of the route at their choice. It is more important to participate than the

actual distance walked. Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst herself is going to walk the whole ďŹ ve kilometers simply because now, since her kidney transplant and her ongoing recovery, she has the energy and ďŹ tness to be able to do it. But the distance walked is purely a personal choice. Information about registering for this Give the Gift of Life Walk on Sunday, Sept. 9 in Stittsville can be obtained by contacting Walk coordinator Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst at 613-836-6847 or the Walk’s cocoordinator Ruth Richardson at 613-836-8735 or via email at bcuc@storm.ca or by contacting Craig Dunbar at 613-724-9953, ext. 4562 or by visiting the website www.kidneywalk@kidney.ca. Stittsville is one of over 40 communities in Ontario that will be holding a Give the Gift of Life Walk for the Kidney Foundation this year. Everyone in the community is urged to consider taking part in this Give the Gift of Life Walk, not only to raise funds for the Kidney Foundation but also to increase awareness of kidney disease and organ donation. Over 2.6 million Canadians have kidney disease or are at risk of developing it. Today, over 1,100 people in Ontario alone are waiting for a kidney or a kidney-pancreas transplant.

Raising funds for Canadian Spinal Research Organization John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It used to be held at the Fallowfield Road home of Richard and Jean Fraser over the course of several days. This year this annual “Lunch with a Victorian Flair” had a new location, the

Alfred Taylor Recreation Facility in North Gower. And it all happened not over a number of days but in one afternoon as the hall was filled last Sunday afternoon with table after table of ladies who enjoyed sandwiches, tea and more, all served using the finest china – a Victorian lun-

cheon par excellence. And, just like in past years, many wore their Victorian finery – bonnets of all sizes and shapes, fascinators of all colours and styles, along with dresses and gowns right out of the Victorian era. The difference this year over past years is that every-

one was all together under one roof at the same time. It was quite a sight that even the Queen herself, we are sure, would have approved. And, oh, that’s right – even the Queen was there, albeit only a life size cardboard cutout in the entrance foyer. But, nonetheless, her presence was

noted, as indeed was only appropriate in this, her Diamond Jubilee Year on the throne. The whole event again this year was a fundraiser for the Canadian Spinal Research Organization (CSRO). Among those at the event and one of the few men was Michael Dorman, CSRO

Richard Fraser, who along with his wife Jean, has developed this “Lunch with a Victorian Flair” into such a major fundraiser for CSRO, was also present as was city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt who helped out filling up the ladies’ glasses with some appropriate liquid refreshment. A silent auction was part of this year’s event, with one end of the hall filled with items on which to bid. And these items varied from a giant State Farm Insurance teddy bear to gift baskets to paintings to ladies’ golf clubs. There was even two, if you can believe it here in Senator land, Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys – a blue one signed by Doug Gilmour and a white one signed by Darryl Sittler and others. And they attracted a bevy of bidders! This event, with its tablecloths, china place settings, sandwiches, tea and more, does not just happen. An army of volunteers helps Richard and Jean Fraser prepare the venue, serve at the luncheon and do the many little things that make this a much appreciated and much sought after event. It is no wonder that so many return year after year to enjoy this Victorian tea experience while also helping out the Canadian Spinal Research Organization.

Rotarian helps out homeland with goal of digging ten wells John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Through employee donations and corporate matching dollars, Hydro Ottawa’s campaigns have raised more than $1 million over the past 11 years. This year, Hydro Ottawa aims to surpass its 2011 campaign total of $187,932.

In 2011, Hydro Ottawa’s campaign committee was honoured with a United Way Community Builder Award. Thanks to the leadership of these volunteers and with the support of employees across the company, Hydro Ottawa’s workplace campaign is now the largest donor among the more than 100 companies in the Construction, Manufacturing and Services sector. The company’s matching dollars are allocated to the Brighter Tomorrows Fund, a community investment program designed to support frontline agencies that serve people who are homeless or at risk of being homeless to invest in energy-efficient technologies or products. Over the past two years more than $219,000 has been allocated by the Brighter Tomorrows Fund to help agencies implement capital projects to reduce their energy costs. “Supporting United Way Ottawa is just one way Hydro Ottawa is contributing to the wellbeing of our community,” added Conrad. “Whether it is maintaining one of the safest, most reliable electricity distribution systems in Ontario, helping our customers manage their energy consumption or educating children and youth about electricity safety, Hydro Ottawa is a community builder and a responsible, engaged corporate citizen.”

Bea recommends that residents be charged a nominal fee for water from the well to help provide for any repairs that are needed.

Bea, who is a registered nurse who came to Canada from her native Kenya in 1971 and who has been a member of the Rotary Club of West Ottawa for seven years, knows all about the water-related challenges in Kenya and other developing countries. She had one of her sisters die from typhoid, caused by the lack of safe drinking water. That’s why she set a goal of building ten wells in rural villages in Kenya, starting with one in 2007 in her home village where her mother still lived. She followed this up with a second well nearby and since then has focused on building wells close to schools where the head teacher can look after its ongoing maintenance.

Kidney transplant restores good health john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Imagine not being able to eat a normal meal. Imagine not drinking any milk. Imagine not being able to enjoy a glass of wine at dinner. Imagine not being able to run around and laugh with your child. These are just some of the things, which most people do without thinking, that Elizabeth HochsterHurst can now do thanks to a kidney transplant which has restored her to good health. Elizabeth’s story is but one of many involving the challenges affecting those affected by kidney disease. Indeed, last year there were 548 kidney transplants performed in Ontario but hundreds more are waiting for transplants and others are suffering from a deteriorating lifestyle as their kidneys become less functional and they move or are already undergoing kidney dialysis treatments. Elizabeth, who is one of the volunteer coordinators for the upcoming first ever Give the Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 9, says that kidney disease is one of the most challenging illnesses that there is. She herself learned that she had polycystic kidney disease five years ago and she suffered through becoming more and more tired as her kidney function slowly disintegrated. She was just about to start kidney dialysis treatment when her kidney transplant happened. Elizabeth learned of her kidney disease thanks to blood work that was done for some surgery that she was going to have. The blood work was more extensive than that in a regular medical check-up and her deteriorating kidney condition was discovered. The kidney purifies the body’s blood but if a kidney starts to deteriorate, then the blood is not all purified as it moves through the body and a person starts become more and more tired. “They are absolutely critical to your survival,” Elizabeth says about a person’s kidneys, comparing them to other essential organs like the heart and the lungs. The kidney also plays a role with regard to the body’s hormones and blood pressure. Indeed, high blood pressure is one possible symptom of kidney disease. There are no known cures as yet for kidney disease, although a kidney transplant comes closest to a cure. As for Elizabeth, every year she became sicker and sicker and more anemic. She would suffer from more colds and sickness because as her kidney function lessened, so did her immunity to sickness bugs. Antibiotics which she took off and on for nearly three years helped but she was coming to the point where she was going to have to start kidney dialysis since her kidney functions were shutting down more and more. But Elizabeth considers herself a “very lucky person” because a friend’s husband wanted to help her situation

and offered to be a kidney donor for her. After lengthy testing to determine that the organ would be compatible and that Elizabeth was otherwise healthy, the transplant went ahead last Dec. 1. “So far, so good,” says Elizabeth as she enters her ninth month with her new kidney. She says that rejection is always a possibility but that the risk of rejection is highest in the first 12 months following a transplant, so she is almost to this important milestone. Her condition is being monitored closely. Indeed, for the first eight weeks following her release from hospital, she was an outpatient at the hospital every day. She takes anti-rejection drugs every day but these have to be monitored so that they are at the right level and not suppressing the immune system too much. Elizabeth has the highest of praise for the kidney team at the Ottawa Hospital, with the outpatient clinic at the Riverside Hospital and the surgical team operating out of the General Campus. She says that she has received the best possible care through it all. Dialysis does help those with kidney disease but Elizabeth points out that dialysis is normally only good for five to seven years due to complications which develop. While Elizabeth acknowledges that she has done much to help fight cancer in society over the years, she notes that combating kidney disease is a cause that few are aware of and yet the change in life that a transplant can bring about for a person is immense, as her situation has shown. Before her transplant, she could barely walk around her home and she was always very tired and nauseated. Elizabeth now is an avid proponent for organ donations, noting how important donated organs are. But she also notes that only 17 percent of Ontario residents have registered as organ donors. She points out that signing a driver’s license to this effect

is not enough. Donors have to register at the donor website. She says that the more people who register as donors, eventually more people will be able to get transplants. She points out that one donor can save up to eight lives. One person can give eight people life is how she puts it. There are living donors such as the person who gave one of his two kidneys for her transplant. Although people have two kidneys, a person can live a totally healthy life on just one kidney. In addition, research has shown that those who donate a kidney while living suffer from no shortening of their own life because of it. A kidney transplant can last up to 30 years, with ten years being about the minimum life span for such a transplanted organ. With a kidney transplant like Elizabeth received, there are virtually no restrictions on diet afterwards. She now experiences a virtually normal diet, a real treat since she had to give up so much before. Just being able to sit down to a normal meal is now a great gift in her eyes. She can drink milk, enjoy a glass of wine and run around and play with her six year old daughter. Elizabeth is forever thankful to the donor who gave her the “amazing gift” of one of his kidneys. She has thanked him often but acknowledges just how does one properly thank someone who did such a caring, loving thing that gave her back her life. It’s a priceless gift. That’s why Elizabeth is the Walk Ambassador and one of the volunteer coordinators for Stittsville’s first ever Gift the Gift of Life Walk which is happening on Sunday, Sept. 9 with registration at 10 a.m. at the Stittsville United Church and the Walk starting at 11 a.m. It is planned as a five kilometer walk from the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road along Stittsville

But just as important is the increased awareness of kidney disease and organ donation that the Walk will generate. That’s why organizers want as many people as possible to turn out and take the Walk along Stittsville Main Street. Walkers don’t have to go the whole distance; they can walk whatever distance feels right for them. But just to be there and participate, that is what is most important. And afterwards, there will be a free lunch for all participants back at the Stittsville United Church. In addition, there will be games and an obstacle course and other activities, all geared to what is being termed “Sunday Fun Day.” For more information about this upcoming Give the Gift of Life Walk and how you can be involved, contact the Walk’s volunteer coordinators Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst at 613836-6847 or Ruth Richardson at 613-836-8735 or via email at bcuc@storm.ca or by contacting Craig Dunbar at 613724-9953, ext. 4562.

New Patients Welcome

EMC news – Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) has widened its catchment area to include Richmond, Munster and Ashton. The expansion came into effect on August 1 and completes the final stage in a plan to merge parts of Osgoode Home Support Services, Rideau Community Support Services and Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre into one rural Ottawa south service. In 2009, the three support services began the process of creating ROSSS, which would focus specifically on serving rural residents in the region. Until July 31 the Western Ottawa centre was serving all of Kanata, Stittsville, West Carleton and rural Goulbourn including Richmond. ROSSS now takes over the rural Goulbourn portion of their coverage area. ROSSS executive director Nancy Wilson said the change is positive and will be beneficial for the seniors and other adults who use the services. “I think from the get go, when there was an envisioning of ROSSS, it was always kind of framed as a centre of excellence for rural services,� she said.

“We’re always trying to take a look at how we can best serve the local client,� she adds. On April 1, 2011 Osgoode Home Support and Rideau Community Support merged into ROSSS. Adding the Goulbourn region was supposed to take place April 1, 2012 but it was delayed several months due to logistics and resources. “It feels very right that we’re completing something that was started some time ago,� said Wilson, who was the former Rideau Community Support Services director. She said there will certainly be challenges to covering the now enormous catchment area, which equals about one third of the city of Ottawa. But ROSSS is committed to developing the services available to residents living in the rural part of Goulbourn, she said. The organization received a one-time project grant of $17,000 from the city to facilitate some program development and staff is looking for a part-time outreach office in the Richmond area. “There’s not a full core basket of services currently in place, but we will strive to do that,� she said, noting that all support service centres in the Ottawa Community Support Coalition attempt to provide “services close to home.�

City of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt said it’s a positive change that will benefit his constituents. “It’s going to improve their ability to serve the rural area. They’re taking over Goulbourn in terms of transportation, and I’m pretty happy that my whole ward is serviced by the one provider,� he said. Of course, to truly make inroads there needs to be increased income, Wilson said. “We need to receive more funding to really enhance the number of services and the level of service in that community,� she said. “This is the first step and we’ll move forward from here.� Wilson expects to take on about 60 new clients through the diners program that was operated by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, as well as a few dozen transportation and foot care clients. She said many clients will be grandfathered into Western’s programs so they won’t be disrupted from their routines, friends and service providers. The group is now focused on recruiting more volunteers, particularly those who can drive clients to appointments and deliver meals on wheels.

EDITORIAL

Time to put a stop to naming carousel

H

uman beings in general attach a lot of significance to names. Names allow us to organize our world in such a way that we can communicate effectively – when we say words like city hall or rabbit, we are all on the same page. This applies to most of us. What appears to be the exception, at least in Canada, is the political class, which apparently doesn’t attach the same value to names like the

rest of us. It seems politicians cannot resist the urge to apply new names to things that already have names. Last week, the federal government, through the National Capital Commission, decided to rename the Ottawa River Parkway as the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway. According to the NCC, the name change answers the call of Canadians to “use our sites, our lands and our assets

to tell our Canadian story.� This announcement, according to Ottawa WestNepean MP John Baird, “is timely as we celebrate 145 years since (Macdonald’s) election as Canada’s first prime minister.� One cannot help but note that Macdonald was a conservative prime minister. We surely won’t be seeing the Aviation Parkway renamed the Sir Wilfrid Laurier Parkway in 2016, marking 120 years since that former prime

minister was first elected. But renaming things is not an exercise any of our politicians should be spending their time and our money on – $60,000 in the case of the parkway. Not only are there numerous things – a bridge, an airport, a school, a historic building – already named after Macdonald in the city, it plays havoc with the way we collectively understand our city. Most of us who live in

Ottawa will refer to the River Parkway for decades to come. It’s what we know it as, what we’re familiar with. It will cause confusion amongst visitors to our city, who run the risk of being told by a local resident to take the river parkway to get downtown, only to search in vain for a road that has been renamed. All of this for $60,000, money that could have saved at least one public service job in this city from federal spending cuts. This is a scenario Ottawa residents are familiar with. Recently, College Coun. Rick Chiarelli sought to have

Robertson Road in Bells Corners renamed Lloyd Francis Boulevard – another decision made for political reasons, not practical ones. Fortunately that proposal was shot down when members of the public caught wind of the plan. When it comes to the federal government and the NCC, the public doesn’t have the same level of influence and we are now stuck with the decision. Is it not enough that new buildings, roads, bridges and the like are named subject to political whim? Our leaders can do better than to occupy their time playing with our society’s placemarkers.

Stressing out the kids BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse

T

he other day, my six-year-old was whining about the cool temperature of the lake following the rain. Normally I try to be empathetic about these things. On this occasion, however, I told him in the nicest possible way to suck it up. When his older brother came along and splashed water over both of us, I just shivered and laughed away the tears of the younger offspring. Sound mean? Maybe. But this incident of acute stress and others like it may actually serve to make my son a more resilient adult. According to recent science in physiology, kids that experience stress on a regular basis are better equipped to handle situations that are new, uncertain and out of their control. The key, of course, is to make sure stresses are shortlived, followed by periods of rest and recovery. Canadian author and former Wall Street trader John Coates summarizes the reasons why in his book, The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: Risk-taking, Gut Feelings and the Biology of Boom and Bust. An economist, Coates is certainly not writing about child-rearing. In fact, the book’s focus is on traders and their role in financial market volatility. But he does a great job of summarizing the science of stress, providing examples that are universally applicable. The book is a rich study of how our biology plays a role in decision-making. To put it simply, when humans are faced with the unknown, it’s not just our brains, but our bodies that respond, argues Coates. In the process, there is a rich release of hormones that prepare our bodies for movement – a surge of adrenalin, testosterone or glucose, for example. Individu-

als who are genetically and developmentally conditioned to handle stress are more likely to keep this hormonal interplay in balance. Those who aren’t will falter when faced with the slightest uncertainties in life. Coates cites one study, for example, conducted at the Rockefeller lab in the United States. In the study, rats that were repeatedly exposed to short periods of stress developed a “hardier physiology and an increased immunity to the damaging effects of further stresses.� But it’s a fine balance. For in the same study, rats exposed to chronic stress “came to suffer both physical illness and learned helplessness.� While Coates acknowledges it may be difficult for individuals to condition themselves to handle stress, he turns to sports medicine for some answers on how we may better prepare ourselves to cope. As physical beings, it really comes down to giving our bodies the opportunity to stretch ourselves physically. It makes sense then that the easiest way to trigger stress in our bodies is through exercise – forcing our heart rates up, pushing our muscles to their limits and expanding our lung capacity. But Coates also makes an argument for forcing our bodies and brains to tap into our ancient physiological flight-or-fight response by exposing ourselves to extreme temperatures. Submerging one’s face in cold water, for example, can actually have the effect of slowing our heart rates and in turn calming our bodies and minds to better deal with what’s to come. So while my “suck-it-up� mentality may have seemed harsh at the time, I take comfort in knowing that allowing my child to experience a harmless incident of stress may contribute to making him an all-around tougher individual. And as so often happens with children, it was a matter of minutes following the splash incident before my son was frolicking away in the icy lake, the previous moment of acute stress seemingly forgotten. The magic formula of stress-recovery-stress-recovery was complete when he followed his swim by exposing his body to the scorching sun before diving into the icy lake once again.

LETTER TO EDITOR & NEWS

Your Community Newspaper

Letter to editor: Climate change and its impact on food supply Editor: I was pleased to read the editor in the Stittsville News EMC last week concerning climate change and its potential impact on our food supply. Earlier in the week I had attended one of our local MP’s meetings in order to make similar points and emphasize that our federal government should be doing more in this area. Unfortunately, I did not seem to have much of an impact. MP Gordon O’Connor was very adept at defending the government’s current actions but seemed reluctant to accept my suggestion that climate change might warrant further attention, especially because of the potential impact on food production. The Stittsville News EMC editorial calls for investment in climate science. This has already paid off handsomely in helping us understand climate and how it is changing. For example, we can follow the ice melt in the arctic at http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/. We also know that warming of the oceans has increased evaporation and associated water vapour in the atmosphere. This, in turn, is contributing to both further warming and extreme weather events. We are now measuring both the warming and increased acidification of our

oceans (from added carbon dioxide). We are monitoring how fish react as a result. Not surprisingly, they are non the move. Indeed, in the last few decades we have amassed a vast body of knowledge on our climate. But all of this just helps us understand the situation better. We now need to take the next step by asking what, if anything, do we do about it. The Stittsville News EMC editorial points out the difficulties which local and North American farmers have been facing because of the recent drought. But the changing climate will have significant implications for farmers all over the world. The current drought in North America is driving up grain prices, not only on this continent but on most others as well. Higher prices should normally encourage farmers everywhere to produce more and more grain and that would bring prices down somewhat, but weather extremes may work against that. Very, very unusual things are happening. For example, I understand that even the grapes used to make champagne in France are being adversely affected by wet weather this year. And in India, the second largest producer of rice in the world, the monsoons arrived late and

rice output is expected to decline as a result, just when it is badly needed to feed their people which now number 1.2 billion, a number which grows larger each year. Canada has one of the most advanced and productive agricultural systems in the world. We are well equipped to deal with stress. But when our climate changes this much, major adjustments may be required. For example, this spring Ontario lost a high proportion of its apple crop because of early blooming and subsequent frosts, a most unique situation. Will we have to cope with similar challenges in the next few decades? We just don’t know. Concerns regarding how we adapt to climate change have also been expressed by a panel of 75 leaders from business, NGOs, First Nations and educational institutions assembled by Dr. Blair Feltmate at the University of Waterloo. The panel identified agriculture and city infrastructure as being in the top five areas where attention to adaptation was most needed. This work is sponsored by the Canadian Property and Casualty Insurance industry which has seen claims for flood damage due to extreme weather events increase dramatically in the last decade.

In the last 60 years the average annual temperature in the Ottawa area has increased by two degrees. Farmers have adapted and in fact some crops have benefitted from the longer growing season. But that could easily change since higher temperatures mean more evaporation and then more precipitation is needed to meet crop moisture requirements. Will we get it? Also, will farmers have to cope with increased insect and disease damage as a result of climate change? The reality is that we just don’t know even though it is clear that both insects and crop diseases are very sensitive to climate changes. It seems to me that there are several areas where our federal government should be re-thinking its role in relations to climate change. I think first of our meager greenhouse gas reduction targets but our government seems unlikely to budget on that one, so I won’t dwell on it. However, we also need better systems to make long term weather forecasts that incorporate climate change. Climate change will not be uniform across the planet and not even in our own province but it is the localized forecasts that are really needed. Secondly, we need to develop the technologies that will

enable our farmers to adapt to these changes in our climate. It seems that there will be no shortage of demand for food in the decades ahead but our farmers can’t respond unless they are equipped to do so. Thirdly, we need to recognize that CIDA may well be overwhelmed with requests for both humanitarian food aid and assistance to modify production methods with low income countries. One of CIDA’s priorities is to support sustainable development. What could be more important for sustainable development than adapting food systems to climate change? Fourthly, within our own communities we may see a gradual breakdown of our food bank system. While most Canadians are well off and can readily, although perhaps reluctantly, adapt to higher food prices, people with lower incomes cannot. The logical economic reaction to higher food prices is for food bank contributions to decline while demands for food bank support increases. We should be asking if the food bank system is the best one for dealing with the challenge of ensuring that low income Canadians are well fed. The United States has both a food stamp and school lunch program. Should we be

contemplating one or both of these? If so, how would they be funded? Finally, we need to face the reality that there are already increased demands among people wanting to come to Canada because they are climate change refugees. As climate change continues unabated, there is a growing population of displaced men, women and children whose homes have been rendered unlivable thanks to a wide spectrum of environmental disasters. The number of climate change refugees is expected to reach 50 million by 2020 and 150 million by 2050. Most countries, including Canada, do not recognize environmentally displaced people as refugees. But some small island states are already making plans to evacuate their populations. Tuvalu has entered into an agreement with New Zealand on this. What should Canada be doing? If Stittsville News EMC readers want to follow up on last week’s editorial, I would encourage them to go to one of Mr. O’Connor’s meetings and talk about it. He seems to genuinely want to make these meetings a significant part of his job, so we should take full advantage of that. Dr. Jim McKenzie Stittsville

Pirate ships John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

With the pirate ship which they constructed, complete with pirate flag, sails and lots of duct tape to hold it together at the boat building craft activity at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners on Sunday afternoon, Aug. 19 are three generations of a family, from left, mom Lesley Beach, six year old Kaitlyn Beach and grandmother Linda Bickerton.

EMC news - Ahoy, matey! Captain Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean was not seen but if he were looking for a pirate ship, the Goulbourn Museum would have been a good place to find one last Sunday afternoon. That’s because it was a family craft day at the Museum and the crafts revolved around pirates and pirate ships. Indeed, the shipbuilders even got to test out their creations on the “Sea of Goulbourn,” a water-filled wading pool set up outside the Museum. And not only would Johnny Depp in his role as Captain Sparrow been pleased with the pirate ship creations which flew a pirate “skull and cross bones” flag, had crow’s nests, sails and even a lifeboat or two but that other iconic figure, Red Green, would be smiling ear to ear as the pirate ship creations featured generous portions of, you guessed it, duct tape. One of the pirate ships was the result of a multi-generational effort with six year old Kaitlyn Beach being assisted in its creation by her mother Lesley Beach and her grandmother Linda Bickerton. It had lots of duct tape holding together plastic bottles which formed the bottom of the boat and when it was test-sailed on the “Sea of Goulbourn,” it easily floated, even pulling along the two lifeboats that were attached to it. Yes, this pirate ship of “Catfish

Kate,” Kaitlyn’s self-proclaimed pirate identity, was right at home on the waters of the “Sea of Goulbourn.” And it had some competition on the water. The pirate ship made by Museum summer student Tyler Gogo even had stairs going up to its crow’s nest. And, in terms of speed, the pirate ship created by Tracey Donaldson, the Museum’s education and community programmer, was a marvel. Lightweight in construction with virtually no hull, the ship featured three sails, allowing it to zip across the “Sea of Goulbourn” in lightning time. Captain Sparrow, you might want this ship to get you away from your troublesome supernatural foes. This Sunday afternoon craft day at the Goulbourn Museum was another of the ongoing family craft activities being held at the Goulbourn Museum throughout this year. Other upcoming family craft activities at the Goulbourn Museum include “Autumn, Apples & Acorns” on Sunday, Sept. 9; “Spooky Fall Crafts” on Sunday, Oct. 14; and “Cool Winter Crafts” on Sunday, Nov. 25. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

Another mountain in Stittsville family’s future Special to the News

EMC news - There’s always another mountain to climb and for a Stittsville family that this summer reached the summit of Mount Washington, the tallest mountain in the northeastern United States, there’s going to be more mountain challenges in the future. Indeed, the Joly family of Stittsville – dad Robert Joly, mom Nadine Tremblay and children Lucas Joly, 5, and Alexia Joly, 8 – has decided that it should scale another mountain next summer, creating what is hoped will become a summer family tradition. “We’ll start looking for our next mountain destination for summer 2013 shortly,” mom Nadine reports. She reports as well that this summer’s Mount Washington adventure was a huge success, with the children proud of their achievement and with the parents just as proud of them as they were the youngest hikers encountered on the trail to the summit and in the hut where they stayed overnight before a second day push to the top. Other hikers responded enthusiastically to the young hikers with many giving them high fives along the way as well as words of encouragement. “All this re-enforced the fact that they were in the process of accomplishing something a little out of the ordinary,” mom Nadine says about these mountain encounters with other hikers. The family hiked up to the Lakes of Clouds hut on the mountain, stayed there overnight and then climbed the rest of the way in the morning. They got underway on Sunday, Aug. 5 at 10 a.m., reaching the hut after five hours of hiking. After staying overnight at the hut, the family left at 8:30 a.m. the next day, reaching the summit two hours later. Nadine reports that the hardest part of the trail was the last hour on the first day

of the hike. This section of trail was above the tree line, meaning that they were much more exposed to the wind and it is gusting winds for which Mount Washington is renowned. In addition, besides the wind, this section of the trail is mostly made up of exposed rocks that need to be climbed. This proved very challenging for five year old Lucas but the family worked as a team to ensure a safe and steady progress was being made. But the family was also working against the clock on this section of the trail since the weather forecast was for possible thunderstorms towards the end of the day. This meant that the family had to keep up a good pace in order to reach the shelter of the hut before any storm. Being stuck on the exposed trail with rain making the rocks wet and slippery and possible lightning was something that the family did not want to experience. Fortunately, the family made it to the hut before any rain fell, although not by much since the rain started falling 20 minutes after their arrival. This last section of the trail and its difficulty was in contrast to the initial part of the trail which was essentially a walk in a forest with only a modest incline. This takes hikers to the base of the mountain from where it starts to be a more challenging climb. The family took the mountain’s cog train on the way down as time constraints did not allow the time to hike back down the mountain. This Mount Washington Cog Railway has provided tourists with a train journey to the summit of Mount Washington since 1869. Once the cog railway got below the clouds, the family enjoyed a good view of the surrounding countryside. The family had spent about one hour on the summit, although not because of any

sweeping views because of the thick clouds which prevailed. Indeed, these clouds were so thick that they did not even see the Mount Washington weather observatory installations until they were right beside them. They appeared as ghostly ancient ruins until the family got much closer and realized what they were. Different family members

had different high points to the hike up the mountain. They all, of course, enjoyed reaching the summit but there was much more that proved memorable. Taking a side trail on the mountain to walk near a waterfall that cascaded down a cliff and into a clear, deep pool of water was one enjoyable experience. Eight year

old Alexia really enjoyed sleeping alone on the third level in one of the hut’s three level bunk beds. Nadine will never forget the feeling on the second day when she stepped outside the hut all dressed in heavy clothes, complete with winter hat and mittens in the midst of thick clouds and with 50 to 70 miles per hour winds blowing.

It was a summertime setting that she will not forget. The Joly family decided to undertake this challenge of climbing Mount Washington because of a feeling that as a family, they were not spending enough time in planned outdoor activities, even though they all enjoy nature and being outdoors. In addition, parents Nadine and Robert wanted to challenge their children with something that they knew would be enjoyable while also teaching the values of hard work and perseverance. In addition, Nadine and Robert hoped that the experience would give their children the rewarding feeling of pride and accomplishment that comes after reaching a goal that was achieved with hard work. That’s why Nadine and Robert “dared” their children back in April to climb the highest mountain in northeast North America, hiking above the tree line and literally touching the clouds. Having this challenge also gave the parents an opportunity to get their children out on local trails throughout the summer as they trained for the Mount Washington expedition. Mount Washington is the highest peak in the northeastern United States at 6,288 feet. The mountain is located in the White Mountains in New Hampshire. The Lakes of the Clouds hut on Mountain Washington, situated 5,012 feet above sea level, was built in 1915 with an addition added in 1922 and two additions put on in 1968. The hut contains 90 bunks. The hut is maintained by the Appalachian Mountain Club which was founded in 1876 and currently has 100,000 members. Its mission is to promote the protection, enjoyment and understanding of the mountains, forests and waters of the Appalachian region in the United States.

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO

School bus safety for kindergarteners A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result, safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand. Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the prospect of leaving Mom or Dad behind at the

curb can spark mixed feelings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly. Many school districts and transportation companies, like the North Penn School District Transportation Department in Pennsylvania, host annual events that help introduce kindergartenersto-be to the school bus. Children are encouraged to enter the bus and learn about all of the equipment. The students also may be given a short ride around town, and safety information is typically included. If the school district where you are living does not host a special orientation day for children entering kindergarten, see if you can arrange to have a bus tour by contacting a bus

company in the area. Although safety tips may be covered at orientation, it is a good idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over. * Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no sidewalk is present, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic. * Wait for the bus at the designated stop. Don’t wander away. * Do not go into the street while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Do not roughhouse or runaround with friends while waiting for the bus to arrive. * Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street

until the bus stops and opens the door. * Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway. * Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down. * If there is a seatbelt, fasten it. (Children should be familiar with how to latch a seatbelt.) * Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of the bus window. * Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items. * Keep voices down so not to distract the driver. * Listen to the driver. * Do not throw things on the bus. * Unbuckle your seatbelt only when the bus has stopped at the school (or your stop at home)

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO How to make healthy school lunches for kids * Have your child make a list of his or her favorite foods. Once the list has been made, see how you can make the foods healthier. For example, if chicken nuggets make the list, prepare your own nuggets with white meat chunks that are baked, not fried. If there are a number of bread items, see if you can substitute whole grain breads instead of white, bleached varieties. * Get creative. Children may not be inclined to eat loose pieces of fruit. But if the fruit is stuck on skewers

* Cut foods into fun shapes. Kids may be more inclined to eat a turkey and cheese sandwich if it’s cut into star shapes or their favorite cartoon characters. Invest in a few cookie cutters so that lunchtime becomes fun time. There are many different ways to improve homemade lunches for the better.

container. There are many different new and innovative lunch containers that can make separating school lunches easy. Few kids want to dig into a brown paper sack and pull out something that has been so squashed it’s unrecognizable. Partitioned lunch boxes enable you to pack different items together where they can be stored separately. The divisions also help you remember to include foods from the basic food groups, such as a fruit, vegetable, protein, starch and dairy item.

others. There are entire recipe books that teach you how to mix fruits and vegetables into desserts to increase nutritive value. Everything from spinach to tofu to beets have been included in items like cake, cookies and brownies. So if kids are reticent to dig into their greens, try a clever hiding method.

Confrontations focusing on diet between children and parents have been around seemingly since the beginning of time. Many children start off as cooperative eaters, anxious to try different types of foods. As they get older, the number of foods they’re apt to eat diminishes, which can make choosing healthy items for lunches and dinners more difficult. It also can make packing lunches for school more challenging. Many initiatives have attempted to improve the quality of school lunches provided by school cafeterias. Government regulations to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in these lunches, and to introduce more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, are one such initiative. Parents of students who prefer to bring their own lunches from home may be left wondering how they can create healthy lunches their kids will eat. Considering school lunches must compete with far less healthy yet widely available alternatives, parents will need to be creative in their creation of homemade lunches. Here are some ideas to get you started. * Purchase a new lunch

or served with a low-fat dipping sauce or caramel, it may look more appealing. Look to “mini� foods, which tend to be more fun as well. Little sandwiches and little burgers may present an optical illusion, where kids think they’re eating only a small amount, but actually it’s a full serving. * Hide healthy foods within

Back-to-school party ideas

!"" # # R0011500944

$ % &

Back-to-school season is on the horizon, and many students and parents are either loving or loathing the idea of starting a new school year. For some, a party to commemorate the new school year and the end of summer is customary. Hosting a fun event for the soon-to-be students is one way to make the most of vacation time. * Go with a theme. Maybe the theme is rulers and text books, ABCs, or science, and it can run through the decorations used, the games played, the food served, and many other aspects of the event. Consider a science experiment inspired volcano cake that is oozing strawberry jam. * Include some educational games. Some students experience educational backsliding during summer vacation. That is why many schools have summer reading lists that educators feel promote lesson reinforcement for the coming school year. With this in mind, plan activities around con-

cepts children learned in school. Think about math problem relay races, art projects, reading a story and reenacting it in a play form, or science experiments using solar energy. * Host a campout reading marathon. Encourage guests to bring sleeping bags and favorite books to a campout under the stars. Most of the time can be spent reading while breaks can be devoted to exercising, making campout snacks or telling campfire stories. * Rent out a fun bus or truck. Since many students will be spending a good deal of time on a school bus once the new school year commences, tie into those jaunts to school by renting the services of a game bus or truck. Some vendors will park their vehicles in front of the house for an hour or more, allowing children to climb inside and enjoy themselves on play equipment or compete in video game competitions inside specialized gaming trucks.

* Plan a group event at the beach. Spending time seaside can be educational and enjoyable at the same time. Enlist the help of a few chaperones and set up an area on the beach where kids can play and explore the wonders of nature around them. Pack picnic-type snacks or ask attendees to bring items themselves. * Plan a trip to the school. First-time students may be anxious about what to expect during their first days of school. Having friends who are slightly older accompany younger kids to school to give a tour and show them the ropes make the experience less frightening. Afterward, meet at a pizzeria to enjoy some slices and soda. * Host a classic pool party. Of course, some kids want to commemorate the end of summer vacation by enjoying the pool one last time. Have a classic pool party and barbecue in the yard for everyone to enjoy.

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL REGISTER NOW FOR DANCE CLASSES 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO Teaching kids to be green The children of today are the decision-makers of the future. Therefore, it’s imperative that youngsters learn about the planet and how to protect it. Teaching children about the ways they can protect the planet or make simple changes to decrease their carbon footprints now may pave the way for more informed adults later, and children can discover the benefits of giving back rather than taking more. * Bike, walk or carpool. Kids are in transit just as much as their adult counterparts, and how they get from point A to point B can help or hurt the environment. From home to school, from school to an extracurricular activity, from an extracurricular activity back to home, transportation is a large part of the day. Automobiles consume large amounts of fossil fuels and also release harmful contaminants into the air via their exhaust systems. Walking or biking to school gives children the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and exercise while reducing their reliance on fuels. If school is too far away, involve kids in the set-up of a carpool with friends and discuss the benefits of riding

together. * Take a trip. Children are visual creatures and often learn the best lessons by seeing what something is all about. A day trip to a working farm or a recycling center can teach important lessons about sustainability and conservation. * Shop secondhand. Children and toys go hand-inhand. However, what was once the latest and greatest toy can quickly become overshadowed by something new tomorrow. Explain the benefits of getting gently used toys, clothing and books instead of purchasing them new. Doing so reduces the reliance on the production of new things, cuts down on shipping and also saves money. Encourage kids to set up a toy swap where they pass on toys they no longer find interesting to others who can enjoy them. * Lead by example. When installing new LED bulbs or switching out an appliance for an Energy Star-rated model, explain to children why this is being done. Children learn quickly and can grasp abstract ideas more easily than adults may think. They soon may catch on and make their own green changes, such as turning

off lights when not in rooms, unplugging game chargers when not in use or using less water while brushing teeth before bed. * Cook together.

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO How to recognize if your child has a vision problem Parents want their kids to be as healthy as possible. Whether tailoring kids’ diets to include healthier foods or encouraging their youngsters to be physically active, parents often go the extra mile with regards to the health of their children. But as hard as parents may try, some health-related issues are difficult to avoid or prevent. For example, even the most conscientious parents might have little influence over their children’s vision. Many children have a form of myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, which progressively worsens as kids get older but eventually stabilizes when their eyes have stopped growing, typically in a young adult’s early 20s. Myopia is common and treatable, but parents should still educate themselves about it so they can better respond should they suspect their child is suffering from nearsightedness.

What causes myopia? When a person has myopia, light entering his or her eye is focused incorrectly. Nearsighted people usually have an eyeball that is slightly longer than normal from front to back, and the light rays that make up the images a nearsighted person sees focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. The result is that objects that are far away appear blurry.

Are there indicators that a child is nearsighted? Kids likely won’t tell their parents that they are struggling to see distant objects clearly, so it’s important for parents to look for indicators that a child might be struggling with myopia. Kids who are nearsighted might squint to see objects that are far away, including the television. One of the telltale indicators is how a child behaves in the classroom. Children who tell their teacher they need to move closer to the chalkboard should be taken to the eye doctor. Parents who suspect their child might be nearsighted can talk to their child’s teacher and ask if the teacher feels the child

h strugmight be struggling with his or her vision. Such gles can affect how a child performs in school. Children who get frequent headaches might also be suffering from nearsightedness. yes exDoctors recommend that kids have their eyes rior to amined at six months, three years of age and prior assed entering the first grade. But even if kids have passed enchprevious eye examinations at each of those benchmarks, it’s best to take them for another exam the moment a vision problem is suspected.

Is myopia preventable? Since it is often inherited, myopia is not preely ventable. However, treatment can significantly e minimize its effects. Children who appear to be d struggling to see distant objects clearly should be taken for an eye exam. That exam may include an eye pressure measurement; a refraction test, which is used to determine a correct prescription for eyeglasses; a retinal examination and a visual acuity test, which measures sharpness of vision at close and far distances. hted, the docWhen a child is diagnosed as being nearsighted, tor will likely prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery can correct vision, but many surgeons are reticent to as fully develrecommend such surgery until a patient’s eye has oped, which does not occur until after childhood.

Are there other symptoms of childhood vision problems? There are additional symptoms of childhood vision problems that might not indicate nearsightedness, but might indicate another problem that should result in a trip to the eye doctor. For example, a child might close one eye when watching television or reading. This could be indicative that vision in one eye is poorer than the other.

Young children who struggle to color within the lines might have an issue with their hand-eye coordination. Poor handeye coordination could be the result of a vision impairment. Children who tilt their head to one side to improve vision might be suffering from a vision problem that makes it difficult for them to look directly down. Vision problems can negatively affect how a child performs in school as well as in social situations. Though such vision problems are not always preventable, parents who can identify them can greatly minimize their effects.

items in bulk. This is when the advantage of buying in bulk shines through. Here are some helpful hints for parents about to shop for school supplies. * Shop for frequently used items in bulk, whether from online wholesalers or through a warehouse store for which you are a member. * Collaborate with a few different school parents to chip in for school supplies. Then one parent does the shopping and splits the supplies with the others. * Keep a stockpile of supplies at home. They do not expire, and next year you may not have to shop at all. * Having extra supplies on hand enables duplicate sets for at home and in school for consistency. * Some parents like to buy many supplies and then donate some for underprivileged children. This time of year manufacturers or retailers could actually donate a portion of schoolsupply proceeds to some educational organizations. * Buying larger quantities of supplies could enable you to build up rewards points at certain retailers. This may entitle you to future cou-

for the entire class, with each student then paying the required amount. This will save many families time and effort. * If you have a friend or family member who is a teacher, find out if he or she can purchase your school supplies. Often teachers are eligible for a discount on school supplies. * Purchase bulk quantities of certain supplies and find out if they can be sold as a fundraiser for the school. A portion of the sales will go to the PTA. Buying school supplies in bulk can save money and provide an opportunity to give something back to the school community. R0011568955

The back-to-school season is fast approaching. This is a time of school bus traffic on the roads, anxious parents snapping first-day-of-school photos, and children will meeting their new classmates and forging new friendships. This time of the year is also one when parents and students must shop for school supplies. Tradition dictates that families will flock to stores after dismissal and shop for folders, binders, pens and protractors. Caught up in the moment, many shoppers choose convenience over low prices on school supplies. Parents could end up at the checkout line with a considerable bill to pay, particularly if they are shopping for multiple students. Buying items in bulk -and sharing the cost -- may be a more affordable option. Although it can be easy to procrastinate and wait until school starts to buy supplies, it might be prudent to shop before the new school year begins. Many teachers, in an attempt to help parents save money, publish school-supply lists online in advance of the school year. Most teachers do not vary their requirements from year to year, so if your son or daughter has been assigned a teacher, ask around among last year’s students to see what that teacher requires. This way you can head to the store or comparison shop online at your convenience. Some supplies are standard regardless of class assignment. These include pens and/or pencils, folders, spiral notebooks, copy paper, looseleaf paper, erasers, crayons, markers, and highlighters. Purchased individually, the perunit cost of each item may be higher than purchasing these

Save on back-to-school clothes shopping the first things they see. Establish a budget, ideally several weeks before your child’s first day of school. Having a budget in place reduces the likelihood that you will overspend, and developing the budget early helps you spread out your spending. * Shop at consignment stores. Consignment stores offer name-brand clothing at discounted prices, something parents of ever-growing youngsters can appreciate. Kids will like the name-brand gear, while Moms and Dads will enjoying not having to pay namebrand prices. A consign-

Parents can visit department store Web sites to find great deals on back to school clothing for their kids. The back to school season can be bittersweet. Parents may miss having their youngsters around the house when summer officially ends, but it’s also fun for parents to watch kids partake in all that school has to offer. One of the things few parents look forward come the end of summer vacation is back-to-school shopping. Such shopping can be costly, especially when it’s time to outfit kids with new wardrobes. While a complete ward-

robe overhaul might not be necessary, kids typically need to replace a few items they’ve outgrown since the start of summer break. There are several ways parents can save on back-to-school clothes. * Get a head start. Parents can save themselves some money by shopping early for their children’s back-toschool wardrobes. Though kids may experience a growth spurt during the summer, shop for items, like socks, that they aren’t

ment store with significant inventory might sell anything from blue jeans and T-shirts to sneakers, shoes and jackets. * Swap clothes with other families. Clothing swaps between families have grown increasingly popular as more and more parents look to save money on rising clothing costs for their kids. Typically, families will swap clothes, including jackets, if their kids are similar in age and one youngster has outgrown his or her clothes. If you can’t find a family to swap with, visit your local community center or church to see if it has a clothing swap program. * Shop discount stores. If the local consignment store has already

been raided, consider a discount store like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. These stores typically sell items at heavily discounted prices and often have similar inventories to mall department stores. * Shop online. A relatively new way for parents to save on back to school clothing is to shop online. A popular store’s Web site might offer discounts that their brick-and-mortar store does not. Parents can also scour a host of coupon Web sites to find special codes they can use at checkout. These codes might offer free shipping or a percentage off the bill when consumers spend a certain amount of money.

This affords you time to comparison shop and spread out the cost of replacing your child’s wardrobe instead of being hit with one big bill all at once. * Establish a budget.

Ottawa Valley Attack Fourth at Nationals

‘Reflections on a Life Well Lived’ - Julia Hill remembered by friend ,ä䣣xÇ£™nxĂšänĂ“ĂŽ

The girl’s fastball team from the Valley headed to Truro, Nova Scotia last week to battle the top tier I Junior teams in Canada for the National Championship. In nine tightly contested games the girls fought their way to a fourth place ďŹ nish in the event. In their ďŹ rst game against the Nova Scotia Storm the team showed they meant business. They used a solid defence to score a 4–1 win in a tightly played game. Jean Cardona picked up the win allowing 4 hits and striking out 6 batters. Grace Lonergan and Kiley O’Connor led the offense with 2 hits apiece. Aisha O’Connor and Lonergan started things off by hitting singles and scoring in the ďŹ rst inning for an early 2-0 lead. A pinch hit single in the 6th inning by Bronwyn Ferguson was the big hit of the game and increased the lead from 2-1 to 4-1. In game 2 the Attack faced the New Brunswick Juniors and produced another close 4-1 win. Ashley Tyrrell picked up the win allowing 4 hits and striking out 11 batters. Tawny Godin and Vic Rumph had 2 runs batted in each in the game. Cardona and Lonergan each contributed 2 hits apiece. In game 3 the Valley girls played the Edmonton Warriors and won 5-0. Cardona pitched a complete game 3-hitter and struck out 5 batters. In this game Rumph contributed 3 hits and Nadine D’Entremont produced 2 runs batted in. Michelle Miller, Kelly Meek and Godin also contributed key hits in the Attacks offense. The fourth game was between the Attack and the Saskatoon Synergy. Another tight game had the Attack lose 1-0 in a pitchers duel. Tyrrell was the tough luck loser pitching a great 3 hitter for the Valley girls and striking out 7 Saskatoon batters. The inďŹ eld of Meek, D’Entremont, A. O’Connor and Emily Atkinson-Jones was terriďŹ c in support of Tyrrell. The Attack only produced 3 singles by K. O’Connor, Cardona and Meek. The team next faced the Newfoundland Selects. Cardona and A. O’Connor combined for a 1 hitter in the pitchers circle leading the Attack to an 11-0 ďŹ ve innings win. Lonergan and A. O’Connor had 3 hits apiece for the Attack offensively. In the 6th and ďŹ nal round robin game of the Junior Tier I National Championships the competition was Team British Columbia. This game ended up being the most exciting game so far in the tournament. What ensued was an extra inning 5-4 nail-biter that was won by Team BC in 8 innings. Tyrrell, pitching for the Attack, did a great job keeping the potent BC line-up in check throughout the game. She was aided by

a superb defensive game by the OVA outďŹ eld. K. O’Connor, Godin and Ferguson all made exceptional catches to keep the game close but Ferguson’s diving catch in the 6th inning with 2 runners on was the highlight of the evening. Offensively, Lonergan, Tyrrell and Ferguson had runs batted in while A. O’Connor, Godin, Meek and Ferguson scored the runs. The Attacks 4 win 2 loss record was good for 3rd place in their pool and they started the playoff round with no room for error as one loss and their Nationals were over. A tournament all star team was chosen after the round robin and the OVA was well represented. Grace Lonergan was chosen as the all star catcher and Vic Rumph as the all star utility player. Both players played well both offensively and defensively and were very deserving of the honors. In the ďŹ rst elimination game the Attack faced the Saskatoon Coop G-Force from the other pool. Cardona entered the pitchers circle and produced a tight 2-1 win. She allowed 7 hits and had 8 strike-outs. Cardona and Miller scored the runs while Rumph and Cardona had the RBI’s. In playoff game 2 the opposition was the powerful Manitoba Smittys Terminators. Tyrrell again pitched well and lead the Attack to a 4-2 win in scattering 6 hits. Rumph with 3 hits and Godin with 2 lead the offense for the Valley girls. The win meant the team would play for a Bronze medal on Sunday morning against their Provincial rival Brantford Bobcats. Day ďŹ ve and game #9 at the Nationals proved to be the end for the Ottawa Valley Attack. Brantford scored early and often on their way to an 11-0 mercy rule win. The Attack had left everything they had on the ďŹ eld during the previous 4 days and 8 games and the tank was empty. Atkinson-Jones and Meek had the only hits for the Attack in the game. The young ďŹ rst year Junior teams ďŹ rst National championship tournament ended with a fourth place ďŹ nish. Their six wins at Nationals showed they belonged there. Their only losses came against the 3 medal winners (BrantfordGold, Team BC-Silver and Saskatoon SynergyBronze). The team’s core group has 2 more years of eligibility in the Junior division so more possibilities are still out there for this team. The season is now complete having played 45 games and winning 38 and losing 7. Two tournament wins (Ancaster and Niagara Falls) a silver at the Tier I Junior Provincials and a 4th place ďŹ nish at the Nationals has provided a ton of memories for this dedicated team.

Special to the News EMC news - Julia Hill, the first manager at the TD Canada Trust branch which opened in Stittsville in 2000, passed away recently, with a celebration of her life service held at the Beechwood National Cemetery in Ottawa on Tuesday, Aug. 14. She died from breast cancer but, as was her way, she turned her three year battle with cancer into an opportunity to help others. For the past two years, she served as honorary chair of the annual fundraising Hike For Hospice held at Andrew Haydon Park in Nepean, organized by Friends of Hospice Ottawa, and brought TD Canada Trust on board as a major corporate sponsor of the event. She also participated in the annual CIBC Run for the Cure and with her team known as Julia’s Jewels raised thousands for breast cancer research. TD Canada Trust is going to continue its involvement with the Hike For Hospice as a way of remembering Julia Hill and her life. Maria Harrington, the current manager at Stittsville’s TD Canada Trust branch and a cherished friend and co-worker of Julia Hill’s, has written the following personal perspective about Julia Hill’s life entitled “Reflections on a Life Well Lived.� “Tulips, fireworks, Her Majesty the Queen, Maury’s mashed potatoes, homemade chicken soup, fettucini alfredo, pigs, hearts and big beautiful bling. These were a few of her favourite things. But there was so much more to Julia Hill. On Aug. 9, 2012, Julia died after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Her death. Like most others, was devastating to her family and her friends. But her death, unlike many others, has left a void in the west Ottawa community that is unlikely to ever be filled. Julia was the first manager of the TD Canada Trust on Stittsville Main Street. She opened the branch in May 2000. But more importantly, she opened her heart to the people and causes of the community. At the time she was staffing the new Stittsville branch, I worked at the Centrum Branch of TD. I will never forget the first time I spoke

with Julia. She called the bank and I happened to pick up the phone. She recognized my name and told me that she had heard I loved to shop. Based apparently on that qualification alone, she suggested I apply to work with her at her new branch in Stittsville. I told her I would and she responded with her trademark “Are you excited?� phrase, a phrase that would over time come to define who Julia was. That phone call began what would become a 13 year friendship that was one of the most meaningful and important relationships of my life. The next time I spoke to Julia – and the first time I actually met her – was during the follow-up interview. It was March and she had just returned from a vacation in Punta Cana. She was healthy and tanned. She was passionate and energetic, with that thousand watt smile that drew you in and held you there. We had an immediate connection and I knew from that first moment that she was a unique and special person – someone who could motivate, challenge and inspire. During the time I worked with Julia in Stittsville, I was in awe of how quickly she made an impact in the community and how she created a work family that was fiercely loyal and dedicated to its leader. Julia had a way of making every single individual feel important. Everyone who worked for her knew that they were special. She always knew what everyone needed in order to be better, to reach their ultimate potential, and she gently pushed everyone to be the very best they could be. Julia loved people who were passionate and who tried to do the very best with the talents they had. At the same time, she despaired of people who were complacent, apathetic and lazy. But her response was not to judge. Her response was to urge and to guide and to encourage and to make them better at what they did and better at who they were. No one could be in Julia’s presence without believing that anything was possible.

Julia Hill knew what was important in life Continued from page 22

Steve Jobs’ biography talks about Jobs’ “reality distortion field.” When people were in his presence, they believe that anything was possible because they fell under his spell. Julia had her own reality distortion field and cast her own spell. The power of her personality and her enthusiasm made everyone around her believe that anything is possible. And more often than not, she made sure that indeed dreams could come true. Julia loved hearts and collected them in all forms, a rather poignant irony given her ability to collect the hearts of everyone who met her. The stories of Julia’s kindness are countless but one that stands out to me involves her reaching out to two young Stittsville boys who were trying to cope with the fact that their mother was fighting a battle against breast cancer, the same battle that would engage Julia many years later. Every Christmas for several years, Julia gave the two boys money and asked them to go out and buy shopping bags full of toys for Toy Mountain, a charity that TD supported and that Julia loved. In

doing this, she helped those boys and their father escape, if only for a short while, from the pain and desperation of their personal situation while at the same time getting them involved in the joy of giving back to others. Julia wanted nothing for herself. What she wanted was for the people around her to be happy and to look at the challenges of life as opportunities to grow and to be better. She opened her home to exchange students through Rotary, an organization to which she belonged. Every holiday her house was filled not only with the joy of family but often with people who were going through a difficult time and had nowhere else to go and were fortunate enough to have intersected Julia’s path. In Julia’s house, there was always an extra chair for someone who was alone. Her acts of kindness were always done without ceremony and without any expectation of gratitude in return. She often seemed puzzled and humbled whenever someone would tell her how wonderful or generous she was. Julia was the daughter of holocaust survivors who then escaped Hungary during its

occupation when Julia was just five years old. Her harrowing experiences as a child could have made her cynical and hard hearted. Instead, they moulded her into an incredibly kind and giving human being who only saw the best in everyone. Julia had a passion for ensuring that children were respected and loved. As a special needs teacher in London, England, she became a Norma Rae of sorts when, in the course of a London tour, she took her students into a pub and refused to allow them to be removed because of their handicaps. Many Stittsville residents will recall seeing Julia heading up a parade of students from A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School as they marched down Stittsville Main Street, carrying gifts that they had collected for Toy Mountain. Julia always loved a parade! Julia had a way of making everyone feel like she was their best friend. She was loyal, respectful and always looking for a way to make a difference. Her reaction to being diagnosed with cancer was classic Julia. In the three years between her diagnosis and her

death, she never once complained. Instead she turned a tragedy into an opportunity. She became the honorary chair for the Friends of Hospice Ottawa’s Hike For Hospice and also participated in

the annual CIBC Run for a Cure for breast cancer. Team Julia, known as Julia’s Jewells out of respect for her love for bling, raised tens of thousands of dollars for breast cancer research. Once again Julia had

found a way to make a difference. Such a colourful and intricate tapestry of life. So much given to others, a busy life with a purpose. This was Julia Hill. Someone once said that you should never cry because something wonderful has ended. Instead you should rejoice in the fact that it ever happened at all. Everyone who ever had the privilege of being touched by Julia has rejoiced in her life since the day they met. And they will continue to rejoice in that life until they take their last breath. But in Julia’s case, I think tears are in order. Because Julia was an amazing wife, mother and daughter, an incredible friend and an astonishing human being and she deserves our tears. I know that as I continue my own life, she will always live in my memory. I will deal with life’s challenges by asking myself “What would Julia do to carry on?” and I will deal with triumph by asking “What would Julia do to celebrate?” She will continue to guide and to remind me of what’s important in my life. I will forever be EXCITED that Julia Hill invited me into her life.”

Blood donor clinics in Stittsville and Richmond Special to the News

EMC news - Community blood donor clinics are being held in both Stittsville and Richmond in September. A community blood donor clinic held by Canadian Blood Services will be held in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 19 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. A Canadian Blood Services community blood donor clinic will be held in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church on Burke Street at the corner of Fortune Street in Richmond on Friday, Sept. 21 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. To book an appointment at either of these community blood donor clinics, please visit

www.blood.ca. Every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment.

Physiotherapy & Broken Bones Helping you get on the mend! By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Team

Casts can be on for 6 to 8 weeks, often result in muscle atrophy (shrinkage), joint stiffness, and difficulty in completing day to day activities. Initial swelling and pain associated with being in a cast can be eased with the use of ice and elevation. Position yourself to have the casted limb resting on pillows, and higher than your heart. While

in the cast, a physiotherapist can provide exercises to keep the rest of your body strong, teach you how to use crutches, and give advice regarding daily activities you can perform safely. Once your cast has been removed, it is important to get your limb moving. Ankle and leg stiffness can make walking and stair climbing difficult, and affect your standing balance. Shoulder, elbow and wrist stiffness can make simple tasks like eating, writing, and brushing your hair a chore. A physiotherapist can help you regain movement, balance, strength and function in the

affected limb. Physiotherapists also keep track of your range of motion and strength, letting you track your progress over time.

If you are interested in accelerating your recovery, call your local Family Physiotherapist today to book an appointment.

Ah, winter! Ice, snow, and freezing rain, and the resulting slip, falls and broken bones. If you have recently experienced the pain of a broken or fractured limb, you may be interested what can be done to help speed up your recovery.

Rugby Sevens Championships One of my first appearances in the Manotick Messenger was as a 15 year old when then-editor, Steve Newman, did a piece on me about my extensive beer bottle collection and awkward obsession with the Olympics. My Olympic obsession continues today and I am quite excited for the inclusion of golf in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. However, golf isn’t the only sport being added that year as the International Olympic Committee voted to include Rugby Sevens in the 31st Olympiad as well. That brings me to an exciting event taking place this weekend at the Twin Elm Rugby Park located just east of Richmond on Twin Elm Road. The North American Caribbean Rugby Association is hosting their Championships at Twin Elm on August 25th and 26th with the first game beginning at 9:00am both days. This event is also the World Cup qualifier for the 2013 Rugby Sevens World Cup in Moscow. The weekend will feature men’s and women’s teams from Canada, United States, Jamaica, Mexico, Trinidad & Tobago and additionally, men’s teams from Bahamas, Bermuda and the Barbados, among others. If you are passionate about rugby, come out and cheer on Team Canada on their road to 2016. For more information, visit www.rugbycanada.ca. Manotick Picnic in the Park This weekend is the annual Picnic in the Park event and Manotick’s 2nd Annual Soap Box Derby, organized by the Manotick Village Community Association. Picnicin the Park, Manotick’s happy celebration of a fine summer is slated to take place in Centennial Park and features fun for the whole family. Hot dogs, hamburgers, soft drinks, popcorn and cotton candy will be available at very reasonable prices beginning at noon until 3 PM. Pizza Pizza have generously offered their “bouncy castle” for young children and there will be face painting and balloons. Bring chairs so you can sit in the park and listen to live music. The derby will take place on Beaverwood Road next to Centennial Park in Manotick from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Carts will be inspected prior to racing. Inspection and participant arrival registration commences at 8:00 AM at the top of Maple Street. It turns out that I will, once again, be taking the ceremonial first soap box trip down the hill. The soap box was not built by me so I can only hope that the people that built it wish me no harm and all screws have been tightened! All of these events will be taking place this Sunday, August 26. Cleaning the Capital It’s that time of year again. Tim Horton’s and the City of Ottawa’s Public Works Department present The Cleaning the Capital Fall campaign, which begins on September 15 and runs until October 15. Early bird registration begins on August 15. Established in 1994, Cleaning the Capital combines corporate sponsorship with resident engagement to provide individuals and organizations with an opportunity to contribute to the cleanliness of our city. Close to 64,000 participants made the 2012 Cleaning the Capital Spring Campaign a huge success. We hope to build on last campaign’s success and make 2012 a record year!

Workshop on seed balls Special to the News

EMC news - It’s a way of ensuring seed germination and growth. It’s called a seed ball. The Junior Gardener Program of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society is holding a seed ball workshop on Wednesday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. at 8 Heritage Grove Crescent in Stittsville.

This workshop is open to both members of the Junior Gardener Program who can attend for free and to nonmembers with the payment of a two dollar guest fee. Materials for making seed balls will be limited at this workshop, so those planning to attend should call Penny Horeczy of the Horticultural Society at 613-831-2320 to

reserve a spot in the workshop. A seed ball is an Asian practice that sees seeds rolled within a ball of clay. Various additives can be included such as compost which are placed around the seeds at the centre of the ball. Seed balls have been used to re-seed desert areas, to avoid seed eating insects and

animals and to protect seeds until rain is able to soak the seed ball, stimulating the seeds. Seeds contained in these seed balls germinate in virtually idea conditions because of what surrounds them in the seed ball. This upcoming workshop will show how to make these seed balls.

Elton John music fills Village Square Park john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The music of Elton John filled the evening air at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 16. Thanks to Captain Fantastic, a musical group headed by Donnie Leafloor aka Captain Fantastic which is an Elton John cover band, the one and a half hour concert, followed by a 15 minute encore segment, featured Elton John hits from start to finish. It was like being in Elton John heaven. The warm August evening drew a crowd of about 250 to hear this third and final of this year’s series of free Thursday concerts sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with the city of Ottawa. And what an evening it was. You heard “Rocket Man,� Elton John’s 1972 hit single from the album “Honky Chateau.� “I Think It’s Going To Be a Long, Long Time,� Captain Fantastic sang – those familiar lyrics to this iconic song. There was lots of singing along on this tune. And so it went, throughout the evening

– “Daniel,� the number one hit from Elton John’s 1973 album “Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only the Piano Player�; “Don’t Let The Sun Go Down on Me� from the 1974 album “Caribou�, with the singing led by Kelly Austin of Texas who is touring in the area and is a friend of Captain Fantastic; “Philadelphia Freedom�; “Candle in the Wind�; and more. It was like listening to an Eldon John greatest hits CD, all thanks to Captain Fantastic. And the concert wound up, in its encore session, with two of Elton John’s most rousing and memorable songs – “Crocodile Rock� from 1973, his first number one hit in the United States, and “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting.� The concert was preceded by a BBQ held by Stittsville’s youth connexion program. During the concert, donations were accepted for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The two previous Thursday evening concerts at Village Square had generated donations totaling $728.50, so the hope was that this concert would push the total over $1,000 for the trio of concerts. Captain Fantastic was videotaping and

recording the show which is why he encouraged and urged audience singalong participation and reaction on several occasions. Concert goers had a special treat at this concert as a Delight Ice Cream truck, which has been travelling around Stittsville neighbourhoods on summer evenings, parked on Abbott Street across from Village Square prior to and during the first half hour of the concert. A number of those at the concert visited the truck, returning to the park with refreshing ice cream cones. Elton John has sold more than 250 million records in his career spanning over four decades, making him one of the world’s most successful rock singers. He has had more than 50 Top 40 hits and seven consecutive No. 1 U.S. albums. He has won six Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Tony Award. “Rolling Stone� magazine ranked him Number 49 on its list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. He was was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1998.

Foster at 613-402-0003 or email richmondfairtalent@ gmail.com This is the first time that the Richmond Fair is having such a youth amateur talent contest. It stems from the fact that the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (CAFÉ) encourages such youth amateur talent contests at local fairs and indeed does hold a national youth talent contest at its annual convention. Dale Greene, general manager of the Richmond Fair, sits on the Board of Directors of CAFÉ and is trying to encourage more fairs in Eastern

Ontario to hold local youth talent contests, especially since the national CAFÉ convention will be held in Ottawa next year and having a local regional entry in the national youth talent contest is a goal. The Richmond Agricultural Society’s Board of Directors got on board this year and agreed to hold a youth amateur talent contest as part of this year’s Fair, hoping that interest will be such that the contest will become an annual event and one of a number of such contests that will result in a regional representative to the national contest at the CAFÉ convention.

Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal to Kate Winn EMC news - Sacred Heart Catholic High School 2012 graduate Kate Winn of Stittsville has received a Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal. This Medal is being awarded to Canadians to recognize those who have made significant contributions to their communities and also to recognize the achievements of youth who are actively contributing to society. Kate Winn was presented with her Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal by Ottawa West-Nepean MP and Minister of Foreign Affairs John Baird on Wednesday, Aug. 15 in a ceremony on the deck of the Michele Heights Community Centre pool which is

where her lifesaving actions prevented the drowning death of a four year old boy in June. It was this heroic action that earned Kate the Medal, one of 60,000 that will be presented in Canada this year. It was on Friday, June 29, just one day after her Sacred Heart graduation ceremony and on her first day on the job as a lifeguard at the Michele Heights Community Centre wading pool in the Bayshore area, that Kate, then 17, rescued a four year from drowning in the pool and then administered life-saving cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The incident happened that day just before 5 p.m. when Kate did not delay in taking

action in rescuing a four year old boy who was floating face down in the wading pool. Thanks to the administration of CPR, the boy was breathing on his own when city of Ottawa paramedics arrived and took over, eventually taking the youngster to hospital. Kate has continued to work at the pool throughout this summer before attending university this fall. At the Sacred Heart graduation ceremony, Kate not only received her secondary school grade 12 graduation diploma but also was the recipient of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville Award. This award is presented to a graduating student who has

Learn about scams Special to the News

EMC news - You always have to watch out for fraud and scams these days. This is particularly true for seniors as a number of such frauds and scams target seniors. Well, you can find out all about fraud and scams targeting seniors if you attend the “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” session on Monday, Sept. 10 at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Constable Ryan Strotmann of the Ottawa Police Service will be at this session where he will be making a presentation on fraud and scams targeting seniors.

All seniors in the area are welcome to attend this “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” session, regardless of religious affiliation. And there’s more. Besides Const. Strotmann’s presentation, those in attendance will get to enjoy coffee and home baked sweets. This all happens from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 10 at the Community Bible Church in Stittsville.

shown community involvement and has participated in actions that reflect the four Rotary truths of truth, fairness, goodwill and benefitting others. The previous October, at Sacred Heart’s honour roll and top mark assembly, Kate received the Catholic Student Award presented by the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa. The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal program has been implemented in Canada this year as a way of honour-

ing the Queen’s 60 year reign as Queen of Canada and her service and dedication to this country. The program also celebrates Canadian achievements over the past 60 years. This is only the second Diamond Jubilee of a monarch celebrated in Canada. Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The Chancellery of Honours, part of the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General, is administering the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal program.

West End Music opening in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - For a dozen years, Steve Geyer entertained thousands playing the organ at Ottawa Senator home games, helping ensure the games were fun experiences for one and all. Now, he and business partner Bjorn Nielsen are launching the West End Music school right in Stittsville, offering lessons in guitar, piano and more but always with an eye on making music instruction a fun experience for the student. West End Music school will be located in newly renovated premises at 1539 Stittsville Main Street which is on the east side of the street just south of Orville Street and in a cluster of businesses that includes Benji’s Place dog grooming studio and Stittsville Picture Framing. Their premises now has two sound-proof instruction rooms, a somewhat larger room where lessons will also be offered, particularly vocal lessons, and then a bigger room where a drum set and piano are now set up which will be used for lessons, for performances and as a “jam” space where students will be able to get a feel for what it is to play with others in addition to their individual learning. This location has a rear parking lot, with back door access to it, as well as plenty of parking at the municipal parking lot across the street. While Steve Geyer is a keyboard expert and Bjorn Nielsen has an instruction focus on guitar, the West End Music school will be offering instruction not only in piano

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Steve Geyer, left, and his partner Bjorn Nielsen, right, stand outside the premises of their new West End Music school on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. and guitar but also in drums, vocals and even brass and woodwind band instruments, provided appropriate instructors can be engaged. Already a vocals instructor is on board and more will be signed up depending on the numbers who register. Contemporary, classical, jazz, rock – all of this will be taught depending on what a student wants. Steve and Bjorn came together through a mutual friend, a vocal music teacher . They did not know each other before this but once they met and talked about their music philosophies and approaches,

things came together. Both have been teaching music in recent years with Steve also performing with several groups and they agreed that Stittsville would be a great place to establish their new music studio since there is no established music school currently in the community, just private music teachers. Steve also has a number of music students who live in Stittsville who have introduced him to the community. “I seem to have a compatibility with Stittsville,” Steve says. In addition, the growing community has lots of fami-

lies and children which should mean lots of youngsters who want to take music lessons. Both Steve and Bjorn want to get involved with the community as they offer their music instruction service to Stittsville and area residents. Indeed, their long term plans envision West End Music school becoming more than just a music instruction studio but also becoming a full-fledged performing arts school with acting and drama and other performance areas offered. They also envision summer camps and rock camps and other specialized courses.

But, first things first, and that means establishing the West End Music school as a viable business with a good base of music students. “We both do this because we love doing this,” Bjorn says about why he and Steve teach music. He says that they are both passionate about music instruction and really strive to form a relationship with their students, something that cannot happen in a selftaught context. They will both be taking students of all ages as they enjoy this mix of students. They have found that retirees make great students because they derive so much pleasure out of learning something new. Bjorn, who spent a number of years in the high tech business, says that he gets pleasure from helping someone achieve something in music. He himself has been playing the guitar for 35 years and says that he is always coming across something new to learn. So learning in music is a lifelong thing. And while Steve and Bjorn enjoy teaching adults, they also find that it is a lot of fun teaching kids. It should work out well, as younger students will be the focus in the after school, 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. instruction period while older, adult students, especially retirees, will have the daytime hours for instruction where possible. West End Music school will be operating six days a week, with half hour lessons. And while practice is the key to learning any musical instrument, these instructors say that 15 to 20 minutes a day is sufficient practice as

a student will progress with such a formula. A key is that West End Music school will be catering to what a student wants to learn with an approach that will teach a student what he or she needs to know to meet their musical wishes rather than having a student sit there learning and practicing scales. But if a student wants to follow the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum, that can also be done. Again, it will all depend on what a student wants to learn. Bjorn points out that music lessons should not be like school with a particular, unbending curriculum. Rather, a music lesson should be geared to that particular student so that the student is constantly learning something new while also having fun. Instilling fun into learning to play music is a huge job for us, Bjorn says as he explains the approach that both he and Steve and other instructors will be taking at the West End Music school. West End Music school will be starting lessons after Labour Day. For more information about lessons and for registration, phone 613-8311216 or email info@westendmusicschool.com After Labour Day, you will be able to drop in to the studio and check it out and get information. Indeed, the West End Music school is planning an open house on Saturday, Sept. 8 at which people will be able to drop in all day long, look around the premises and ask questions to Steve and Bjorn and other instructors.

EMC news - Eight year old Clara Schyf of Stittsville was back helping out “You and Me For Memories Foundation,” a charity which raises funds for Alzheimer’s research, last Sunday, Aug. 18. She spent the afternoon assisting at a fundraising BBQ for “You and Me For Memories” at the Garden Terrace long term care facility in Kanata where last May she set up a lemonade stand at a garage sale and raised over $109 for the “You and Me For Memories Foundation.” This time she was not selling anything but instead was in charge of the distribution of ice cream and frozen treats at the BBQ. She arranged all of the treats, ranging from popsicles to orangsicles to ice

cream treats, in the freezer of a refrigerator so that she could quickly provide one to those at the BBQ. Among those at the BBQ was Dave St-Jean, who is chair of the “You and Me For Memories Foundation” and was one of the organization’s founders, taking action after his mother passed away with Alzheimer’s. He praised Clara as the organization’s youngest fundraiser and supporter. Clara learned about Alzheimer’s from her mother in a conversation last Christmas and immediately wanted to help out. When talk of a garage sale at Garden Terrace came up, Clara told her mother, Christine Schyf, who works at the long term care facility, that she wanted to do something to help those who forget and struck upon the

idea of having a fundraising lemonade stand at the May garage sale. She said last Sunday that she likes being at Garden Terrace because everyone there tries to do everything they can to help the residents. Clara will be going into grade three at Ecole Jean Paul II elementary school in Stittsville this September. The “You and Me For Memories Foundation” is a non-profit charity in partnership with the University of Ottawa. It raises funds for Alzheimer’s research, with all of the funds raised staying in the Ottawa community, specifically to help Dr. Richard Bergeron, a neuroscientist, in his research efforts. Over half a million Canadians or one in 11 over the age of 65 have Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.

dementia doubles every five years after age 65. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. It is devastating and fatal, slowly stealing memory, cognitive, verbal and physical abilities and ultimately life itself. There is no cure at present and no prevention, although research suggest that there are ways to

lower risk. It is estimated that with enough support, researchers may be able to find a cure or a treatment within five to seven years. The “You and Me For Memories Foundation” is holding a gala fundraiser on Saturday, Sept. 29 this year at the Ottawa Convention Centre. This “An Evening to

Remember Gala Dinner and Dance” is the Foundation’s major annual fundraising effort. Over the past three years, these galas have raised over $165,000 in support of Dr. Bergeron’s research. For tickets or more information about this gala, please check out the website www. youandmeformemories.ca

CL371485

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Daniel Joseph Hickey of Arnprior on Monday evening, August 13th 2012 at the age of 54 years. We find some comfort in knowing he has been received into the loving arms of his late mother, Audrey (nee Mears). He will be sadly missed by his father, Joseph Hickey (D’Ann Huth). Devoted husband and best friend of Rennie (nee VandenBerg). Proud and loving father to Joseph (Caroline Wang) and Meaghan (Jake Fraser). Dearly loved brother of Laurie Robertson (Norm), Brian Hickey (Cathy) and Mary Ellen Procher (Gord). Loved son-in-law of Louise VandenBerg. Dear brother-in-law of Rutger VandenBerg (Dolores), Lucy Wachowicz (Dan) and Marie Salcioglu. He will be missed by his many nieces and nephews and countless friends. Dan was a passionate fisherman and avid outdoorsman always seeking a new lucrative fishing hole or adventure. A teacher by profession, his natural ability to instruct extended well beyond the classroom and his willingness to help others was always clearly evident. He will be remembered by those closest to him through his mantra to “work hard, play hard and be nice to everybody.” Family and friends are invited to pay their respects at the Pilon Family Funeral Home and Chapel Ltd., 50 John Street North, Arnprior on Friday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in St. John Chrysostom Church, Arnprior on Saturday morning, August 18th, 2012 at 10 o’clock. Interment Malloch Road Cemetery. In memory of Dan, a donation to the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (www.ofah.org) “TackleShare” program would be appreciated by his family.

The ďŹ lm won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for “Man or Muppet,â€? the ďŹ rst Academy Award presented to a Muppet ďŹ lm. In addition to stars such as Jason Segel as Gary, Amy Adams as Mary, the girlfriend, Chris Cooper as the oil magnate who wants to destroy the Muppet Theatre and Rashida

EMC news - Here come the Muppets! The 2011 musical comedy ďŹ lm “The Muppetsâ€? by Walt Disney Pictures will be the ninth and ďŹ nal movie shown in the summer-long series of free Tuesday night movie nights at Village Square Park in Stittsville. It will hit the big screen at Village Square at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street this coming Tuesday, Aug. 28 at 8:30 p.m.

Jones as Veronica, a network executive, the ďŹ lm features a host of cameo appearances by stars such as Alan Arkin, Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, Mickey Rooney and Jim parsons. And, of course, there is a host of Muppet characters, including Kermit the Frog, Rizzo the Rat, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Waldorf, Muppet Gary, Nigel the Conductor, Camilla the Chicken, Wanda, Trumpet Girl, Afghan Hound and Roowif the Dog. This ďŹ lm was a box ofďŹ ce success right from its release at Thanksgiv-

ing in 2011 in the United States. The ďŹ lm has since grossed over $158,000 million around the world, becoming the highest grossing ďŹ lm involving the Muppets. It also has received positive reviews. The Muppets, of course, is a group of puppet characters ďŹ rst created by Jim Henson in the mid 1950’s. Walt Disney Company bought the Muppets in 2004. Over the years, there have been Muppets’ television specials as well as a television series and ďŹ lms dating back to the ďŹ rst one, “The Muppet Movie,â€? in 1979..

A common appearance for a Muppet is a character with a very wide mouth and large protruding eyes. The movie “The Muppets� will be the last of this summer’s series of free Tuesday evening movies shown at Village Square Park in Stittsville. These free movie nights on Tuesdays at Village Square Park are being sponsored by Stittsville’s youth connexion program with everyone of all ages welcome to attend. There are refreshments available for sale at these free movie nights. Those planning to attend should take along a blanket or a lawn chair for seating.

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories My brother Emerson had a way of getting me to do his bidding. Unless I was really on my toes, I often paid dearly for not doing exactly what he wanted. But that hot summer day, when all the chores had been done in the barns, my three brothers were attempting to play ball on the at piece of barnyard behind the silo. With only three of them, there wasn’t much chance of a very good game. Emerson wandered over to where I was sitting in the grape arbour with my dolls spread out around me. The shade of the vines made a nice cool spot for me to spend an hour or so at my favourite pastime: playing house or school with my beloved dolls. They came in all shapes and sizes, some with soft ragstuffed bodies, one with a beautiful china face, a couple showing their age and missing a part, but all dear to me. Emerson sidled closer and I knew what he wanted. He wanted me to head over to the silo and play ball. Well, not really play. What he wanted was me to run and catch the ball when one of them batted it out beyond the yard. Well, I wasn’t having any part of a game in which I would never be allowed an even role -- forget that I could never hit the ball in the ďŹ rst place. It was the very idea that I was just to be there for their convenience and I wasn’t having any part of it. I turned him down at. Emerson stomped away to where Everett and Earl were wait-

Plotting how to make Emerson pay dearly for his dastardly deed ing to see if I could be talked into being their fall guy. Well, they had another thing coming. To make sure they knew I meant business, I decided to have a tea party with my dolls. I propped them all up in a sitting position and headed into the house to bring out my little set of tin dishes. I decided I might as well make a little lunch while I was at it and so stopped long enough to butter a slice of bread, cut it into small pieces and headed back out to the grape arbour. What I saw when I returned turned my blood to ice water there was just an empty space where I had left my dolls. I knew without looking that three sets of eyes would be turned in my direction. I ew into a rage and cleared the rail fence in one leap. Of course, the three brothers denied everything, but a dead giveaway was when Emerson said if I played ball for a bit, he’d tell me where they were. Well, when he saw I wasn’t interest in that deal and was heading into the house to tell Mother, he pointed towards the sand box, which was gravel from our pit Father had brought up on the stone boat for me to play in. There buried in the sand, all in a row like little soldiers, Emerson had buried every doll right up to its neck with just the heads sticking out of the sand. I clawed until I got them all out. It must have taken me an hour to wash them clean of the sand and grit.

I ran into the house to tell Mother what my brother had done. I was pretty sure Everett and Earl would have had no part in the deed. Mother said it was too hot to sort out my problems with my brothers and besides, she said, I knew what she thought of tattlers. That meant unless you actually showed signs of being physically wounded with blood running from your nose, she wanted no part of our childhood battles. So I would be left to my own devices when it came to dealing with Emerson. I plotted in earnest how I could best get rid of him without showing signs that I had done it. Poison was an option, but I had no idea what a poison was or if we had any on the farm. But I realized I was no match for my big strapping brother. I would just have to protect my dolls as best I could. That night, I did as I always did before I went upstairs to bed. I put them in the parlour where they slept every night, telling each and every one of them they were safe there. But after I went to bed and my sister Audrey had blown out the lamp, I lay perfectly still until I was sure she was asleep beside me. Then I crept downstairs. I had to make two trips, but I carried every last doll upstairs and put them under my bed where I knew they would be safe. I ďŹ nally fell asleep, still plotting how I was going to deal with Emerson and make him pay dearly for his dastardly deed.

Service in Munster R0011567868/0823

Special to the News

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

Church. Munster Union Cemetery itself goes back to 1886 when Thomas Tubman and his wife, the former Isabella Hill, provided two acres of land as the site for the cemetery. Mr. Tubman, who was Munster’s ďŹ rst postmaster and also served as a school trustee and Justice of the Peace, believed that the community should have a non-denominational cemetery to meet the needs of those for whom burial in a church cemetery was not preferred or possible. The Munster Union Cemetery Company Incorporated looked after the cemetery from its inception to 1942 when the operation of the cemetery was turned over to a Board of Trustees for one dollar by Mac Tubman. The original two acre cemetery site has been added to in recent years. In 1980, a parcel

of land was obtained along the south side of the original cemetery site. In 2002, a parcel of land was acquired which extended the cemetery lands west to the Munster Road. This was only on the south side of the access road into the cemetery off Munster Road. Acquiring all of the land between the cemetery and Munster Road allowed the Board of Trustees to proceed with a project involving the placing of a fence with engraved granite fence posts along the frontage, with each post donated by a person or persons with family ties to the Munster Union Cemetery. The Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion has erected a Memorial Board just outside the main entrance gate to the cemetery which lists the names and provides the grace locations of military veterans buried there.

Food ‘n’ Stuff

This casserole is good example of how to make a change in a recipe and end up with a dish that tastes just as good, if not better, than the original. The original version of this was called turkey tetrazzini for obvious reasons. It was perfect for using up the leftovers at Christmas and we really enjoyed it. The problem, of course, is that I don’t always have turkey on hand. So I tried making it with chicken. That version was good, but required cooking the chicken first. That was all right, unless I came home from work too tired to bother. Next I tried making it with tuna which can often be substituted for chicken, particularly in casseroles. That was quick and simple and became a regular supper casserole at our table. Recently I tried yet another variation. I had bought a package of bulk sausage for another recipe. Because sausage is so rich, I planned to use only half of the package in that casserole. Since bulk sausage only comes frozen, having thawed it, I had to use it up. So this time I made the ever-changing tetrazzini casserole with sausage. It was just as tasty as any of the earlier versions. I finally realized the reason this casserole always tastes so good, no matter what I use, is the sauce that goes in it. Made with mushrooms, onion, mushroom soup, cheese and Worcestershire sauce, it has a delicious and distinctive flavour, due largely to the Worcestershire sauce. This casserole also calls for cooked spa-

ghetti, which makes it a filling, delicious dish for a family meal, potluck supper or company dinner. The version I give here describes how to make it with sausage. If you prefer, substitute one to two cups of cooked, cut-up turkey or chicken, or one can of tuna. Sausage Tetrazzini 3 cups cooked, drained spaghetti (enough for four people) 1/2 package of bulk sausage meat, thawed 1 can sliced mushrooms, drained 1/2 onion, chopped 1 can cream of mushroom soup 2/3 cup milk 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese 2 cups crushed corn flakes Cook the sausage in a frying pan, breaking up the meat with a spoon. Drain off all the fat. Add the mushrooms and onion to the pan and cook until the onion is tender -- about three to four minutes. Spread in the bottom of a large casserole dish. Using either your microwave oven or a saucepan on the stove, combine the soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce and cheese. Heat, stirring often, until the cheese is melted. Stir the cheese sauce into the spaghetti and pour this over the sausage. Sprinkle the crushed corn flakes on tops, and bake at 350 F (175 C) for 30 to 40 minutes. Serves four.

FRESH ROASTS

EMC news - The West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus is ready to roll this fall as a newly established ladies’ choral group, singing both three part and four part harmony. The group is forming to provide the gift of music to the community at specific times of the year, namely near the Christmas season and again in the spring. The idea will be to rehearse in blocks of time about 10 to 12 weeks leading up to each

performance. To save weeks of note learning rehearsals, music will be distributed to members in advance so that members can become familiar with the music prior to any rehearsal. Who should consider joining this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus under the direction of Robert Dueck who also directs the Goulbourn Male Chorus? Anyone, preferably experienced in choral singing and who loves to sing, should con-

sider joining. So far, this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus has three performances lined up this fall: Sunday, Nov. 25 at the Stittsville Village; Wednesday, Dec. 5 at the Granite Ridge long term care centre; and Sunday, Dec. 16 at the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ Christmas concert. For more information about this new West Ottawa Ladies’ Chorus, please contact director Robert Dueck at 613836-1824 or by email at ladieschorus@bell.net

Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association Special to the News

EMC news - The Goulbourn Rockets are ready to really take off this fall. The Rockets is the team name for the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association which started last year, attracting 26 young girls hockey enthusiasts, and which hopes to double its numbers for the upcoming 2012-2013 season. Registration is now open with all information on the Association’s website at www.ggha.ca. Besides this open online registration, the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association is holding a couple of registration sessions in the community before the start of the season. One will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 29 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the lobby at the Goulbourn Rec-

reation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. In addition, the Association is planning a two-hour open house Fun Day on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 4:30 p.m. at the new rink at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex where anyone interested can try out girls hockey and see what it’s like. Come and skate with the Rocket players and coaches and have some fun. Registrations will also be taken at this event. The Association will begin its 20122013 season on the next Saturday, Sept. 15 when on-ice sessions will begin. This year the Association has secured two hours of ice time every Saturday from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the new rink at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. In addition, the Association will be renting

ice elsewhere, such as at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in midweek, so that all of the girls involved will have two hours of ice time a week consisting of a game each week and a practice session each week. League play in the Metro Ottawa Girls Hockey League will get underway in mid-October, with the Rockets playing against teams from Ottawa and Gloucester. This season the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association hopes to ice teams at the Initiation level (ages 4-8), the Novice level (ages 9-10), the Atom level (ages 11-12) and the Peewee level (ages 13-14). Cost for being a Goulbourn Rocket this coming season will be $500 for Initiation level and $625 for all other age categories.

David Sabourin of Stittsville when he played for the Bell Warriors

Stittsville brothers get scholarships Continued frompage 42

He is now entering his fourth year at St. Mary’s University in Halifax where he is pursuing a Degree in Criminology. A running back, he also played last season for the St. Mary’s Huskies football team. Sam Sabourin, his brother and fellow scholarship recipient this year, who is another SCHS graduate and Bell Warriors Football Club alumni, is attending Queens University where he will be entering his third year this fall. He is taking a Degree in Physical Education. Sam has played the past two seasons with the Queens University Gaels football team, playing linebacker. This year’s two $1,000 post secondary scholarships awarded by the Bell Warriors Football Club brings to $26,000 the amount of money given out under this program since 1999. All has gone to former Warriors players in support of their scholastic goals and aspirations. This corresponds to the Bell Warriors Football Club’s belief that it supports its players both on and off the ďŹ eld, both when they are playing for the Club and as alumni.

principal W.W. (Bill) Powell. Its opening marked a huge step forward for secondary school education in the expansive rural area of the thenCarleton County in which it was centered. High school education up until the opening of South Carleton had been provided in the area in the classrooms of existing Continuation Schools, which consisted of a couple of classrooms in the local elementary schools. These had existed for years but following the Second World War, there began a drive in Carleton County for a high school district. This new high school district, which became South Carleton High School District, was formed as of January 1, 1948 and included the existing Continuation Schools in Manotick, Carp, Kars, Kenmore, North Gower, Metcalfe and Richmond. This was, in effect, the first far flung amalgamation of school administrations that took place in Carleton County. Further amalgamations in 1968 with the creation of the Carleton Board of Education and in 1998 with the formation of the even larger Ottawa-Carleton District School Board would follow, all with the goal, as in this first amalgamation of 1948, of improving education and educational opportunities for the young people of the area. While the South Carleton High School District was formed in 1948, the existing Continuation Schools were used by the united administration. Stittsville was in a somewhat different situation in those early years of the South Carleton High School District School Board, as Stittsville did not have its own Continuation School. Students in Stittsville and area attended a variety of schools for their high school education – the Richmond Continuation School, Carleton Place High School or Nepean High School. The Stittsville students continued with these arrangements until the opening of South Carleton High School in September 1952 but with one difference. Their transportation to these far flung schools was paid for by the new District School Board. However, Stittsville, as one of the first communities in Carleton County to support a drive for formation of a new high school district, saw the benefit of having a local high

school which would offer not only academic courses but ultimately instruction in auto mechanics, commercial subjects and home economics. “Such a school, to which the children will travel in properly insured public conveyances, will meet their needs and problems much more effectively than any city school,” Gordon S. Way of Stittsville wrote in an August 1948 article about Stittsville in the magazine “Your Home and Garden.” At the time of the formation of the South Carleton High School District in 1948, it was not known where the site for the new centralized high school facility would be but this was a decision which would be made and realized by September 1952 with the opening of South Carleton High School in Richmond in September 1952. Within five years of its formation, the South Carleton High School District was able to open what was then an ultra-modern centralized high school facility in Richmond. It still had a lot of growing and expansion to do but in September 1952 it began educating the high school students of its attendance area, bringing them not only the educational benefits of a larger school with a gymnasium and larger staff but also the social and personal benefits of making friends with other young people from areas as separate as South March, Carp, Manotick and Metcalfe. For many, this would be the beginning of an association with South Carleton which would last for decades. But for others, this was not the case. The first division of South Carleton’s student body occurred in 1969 when areas of March township and the emerging Kanata community, along with the glen Cairn area of Goulbourn, were redirected to Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean, with the ultimate destination being the planned new Earl of March High School in the Beaverbrook area of Kanata. For Stittsville students, the scenario developed quite differently. In September 1976, with the opening of the new A.Y. Jackson Secondary School in Glen Cairn, Stittsville area students were directed there rather than to South Carleton. See SCHS, page 45

SCHS official opening held on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 1952 Continued from page 44

Stittsville students were among the first A.Y. Jackson grade 12 graduates in 1978. This arrangement went on until 1988 when Stittsville area students returned to the South Carleton High School fold when Goulbourn Public School became a middle school feeding that high school. But back to the beginnings of South Carleton. Following the opening of the new centralized $460,000 high school facility in September 1952, the next big event was the school’s official opening which was held on Wednesday, Dec. 3, 1952 in the school’s auditorium. The program included selections by the Ottawa Technical School Band, a “drill and dance” by a South Carleton contingent of girls, and musical selections by the SCHS Glee Club. The opening ceremonies were such a momentous occasion that they were broadcast over radio station CFRA of Ottawa. About 1,000 people attended the event, with about 600 crowding into the school auditorium while the rest listened to the speeches in classrooms by means of the school’s intercom system. Speakers at the event including Tom Keenan, warden of Carleton County, Dr. Cecil Wallace, a trustee who chaired the building committee, H>H.

Roberts, the school’s architect, and B. More, the contractor. The Hon. R.J. Dunlop, Minister of Education for the province, was the principal speaker at the event. Other speakers included the Hon. George Drew, the federal MP for Carleton; Don Morrow, the MLA for Carleton; W.P. Ziegler, the High School Inspector for the province; and the Hon. George Doucett, who was the provincial Minister of Highways. Board of Trustee members at the time of the opening of the school were Nomran McCaffery, chair; Alexander Hope, vice-chair; Gordon Butler, William Caldwell, Ira Gow, Leo Hogan, Orville James, Dr. Allan Prince, Ferguson Pratt, Alfred Taylor and Dr. Cecil Wallace. Inaugural staff members at South Carleton High School were W.W. Powell, principal; Betty Bartlett, Carl Bedal, John Bell, Vincent Bulger, Phillip Caddick, Wallace Charland, Nicholas Eisele, Ann Green, Newell Lawson, Lewis Pratt, Verna Pritchard, Helen ross and Elizabeth Stuart. Helen Brown was the school secretary. Commencement exercises have always been an important event at South Carleton and the first one was held on Friday, Jan. 30, 1953, with a total of 75 students receiving their intermediate certificates, 35 receiving Secondary Grad-

uation certificates and four receiving Honour Graduation certificates. Ruth Seabrooke, one of the Honour graduates, gave the initial valedictory address. In her address, she referred to the activities which the graduates had experienced during their high school years, initially

in their diverse Continuation Schools but finally in their new centralized South Carleton High School. The activities on which she reflected included trips to Ottawa for shows, intramural and interschool ball games, skating and bowling sessions, concerts, literary meetings, year books,

field days, school dances and examinations. She predicted that in “this fine, new school” with a “more unified spirit,” students will have more athletic activities, more courses, more equipment, more athletic and scholastic competitions and more friendships. Guest speaker for the occa-

sion was Dr. Charlotte Whitton, who was then mayor of Ottawa. Murdoch Robertson was the head boy at South Carleton for the inaugural 195253 school year while June Hope was the head girl. See SOUTH. page 50

South Carleton enrolment continued to grow, however, and in November 1961 it had reached 750 students. In 1961, the South Carleton High School Board received approval for a new vocational wing addition for school, completely financed by the federal (75 percent) and provincial (25 percent) governments, with no cost to the local municipalities of the School District.

made about the location of South Carleton High School, with Richmond winning out, with much of the credit going to longtime Richmond reeve J. Edgar Gamble. The delay caused by the suggestion about a second high school at Manotick instead of an addition at South Carleton High School in Richmond made it necessary for South Carleton to have temporary classrooms constructed for the fall to look after the increased enrolment. Stittsville, along with Richmond, was experiencing a building boom in the late 1950s, generating more enrolment for South Carleton. A new addition, estimated to cost $360,000, was approved for SCHS at this time. The addition included six

cials of the Department of Education’s Secondary School Branch heard a delegation from the Manotick District Association requesting that the addition be delayed pending further investigation. An alternative suggestion was the construction of a second high school at Manotick. However, this suggestion was turned down as not being in the best interests of the South Carleton High School District as a whole. It was hinted that such a suggestion might be considered in about four or five years when South Carleton reached its approved attendance considered best for a “comprehensive” type of district high school. There had been tremendous politicking and maneuvering when the initial decision was

The South Carleton High School crest, which has been used throughout the school’s life, actually pre-dates the building of the school and goes back to the second year of existence of the South Carleton High School District. It was in 1949 that Bevis Dewar of Kenmore, a student at the Manotick Continuation School, designed the crest which is a wreath around the torch of learning, with the inspection South Carleton High School (initially it was South Carleton High School District placed in the form of two arches across the torch. The school’s motto “Pro Scientia Luce Vitae” which means “For Knowledge the Light of Life” is also on the

crest. From its beginning with 263 students, South Carleton started to grow, reflecting the beginnings of suburban growth which was beginning to strike the area in villages such as Richmond and Stittsville. By September 1958, enrolment at the school had grown to 544, challenging the capacity of the school which at that time stood at 550 including a new addition. In 1959, an addition was approved by the South Carleton High School Board but its construction was delayed for several months, finally receiving the approval of the Ontario Department of Education in May of 1959. The provincial approval came only after senior offi-

Stittsville District Lions Club goes back to 1964 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Everywhere in Canada, Lionism has come to be synonymous with community service and in Stittsville, it has been no different. Since 1964, the Stittsville District Lions Club has developed a record of community service and involvement of which both the Club itself and the community can be extremely proud. The Club’s fundraising and community work have been ongoing, with the value of its contributions to various community projects and initiatives being in the thousands of dollars. But the monetary value of the Lions work and contributions over the years since the Club’s formation in 1964 is not the most important result of its receipt of its charter from Lions International in 1964. What has been the Club’s most important contribution to the community has been the fact that it has brought together a group of men who, selflessly and without personal gain, have worked to help make the Stittsville community a better place in which to live. The official charter night of the Stittsville District Lions Club was October 19, 1964 but Lionism in Stittsville was not born on that particular night. Rather, it had been born in the preceding months when West Ottawa Lions Club members Lee Rickey and Fred Chapman sowed the seeds of Lionism in the community. These seeds were nourished by the efforts of such people as Denny Graham, Roger Lessard, Ernie Moore and Bud Haw, who talked things up in the community and held organization meetings in the basement of the village municipal office. It was from these preliminary meetings that the formation of the

Stittsville District Lions Club happened. The Charter Night itself was a gala affair which was held at the Ambassador Hall in Westboro. Over 400 persons attended this charter night which was presided over by Gerry Cummings, president of the West Ottawa Lions Club which was the sponsoring club for Stittsville. For most of its first 15 years of existence, the Stittsville District Lions Club held its regular meetings in the basement hall of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville, although for a time the meetings alternated between the Presbyterian Church and Wesley United Church. In 1979/80, the Lions Club built the Stittsville Medical Centre on Stittsville Main Street, with the downstairs of the building becoming the Club’s permanent meeting hall. The hall also served as a meeting room for Stittsville groups, such as the Brownies and the Stittsville District Snowmobile Club. Over the years, it has provided much needed meeting space in the community. Not only that but the hall has been used extensively for receptions as well as family and group parties. Several years after its formation, with the opening of the new Stittsville arena in 1971, the Stittsville District Lions Club undertook its first big challenge, the raising of $10,000 for an artificial ice plant for the new arena. A successful marathon walk raised $7,000 in helping the Club achieve its goal. The Lions Club purchased the time clock for the arena and also helped out, along with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, with the purchase of a new Zamboni ice cleaning machine for the arena in the 1970’s. Over the years, the Stittsville Dis-

trict Lions Club has supported minor hockey, public speaking, minor ball and intermediate hockey. Right from its beginning, the Stittsville District Lions Club was involved with the annual Christmas Cheer radio broadcast of the West Ottawa Lions Club on CFRA radio. In recent years, this radio broadcast has ceased but the Lions Club has continued with its Christmas fundraising, directing the funds raised to the Stittsville Food Bank and thus continuing to help the needy of the community. Welfare work, that is, being there with help when needed, has always been a masjor focus of the Stittsville District Lions Club. Christmas baskets have been one visible aspect of this welfare work; paying the heating bill for a fellow resident of the village suffering from hard times is another, more hidden aspect of the Club’s work. When a family was burned out of its home, losing everything, it was the Lions Club which pitched in and, along with neighbours and friends, raised much-needed money and helped rebuild the home. In 1979, the Stittsville District Lions Club undertook a $28,000 renovation project at Alexander Grove ball diamond in Stittsville, rejuvenating the facility which had been first developed in the late 1940’s. This renovation project included new fencing and new lighting at the diamond. The $80,000 Medical Centre building, constructed in 1979/80 by the Lions Club, was a major undertaking. The Club had planned the project for several years and, fully aware of the great need in the village at that time for a doctor’s services, kept working away at realizing the goal. With the establishment of the Medical Centre, a facility was in

place which could house a doctor and it was not long before Dr. Jim Bell set up his practice in the facility. A dentist and a chiropractor later established their practices at the Medical Centre, showing that the building was serving the primary need for which it was built. In 1987, the Lions Club put on an addition to the Medical Centre building to accommodate the need for more office space for the doctors. The basement area of this addition was made into a Lions Club lounge area which has become the site for Lions Club executive meetings, freeing up the larger Lions Hall for community use on such occasions. The Stittsville District Lions Club, since its inception in 1964, has made donations to many charities, has provided trophies and awards for schools, has supported the Canadian National Institute for the Blind’s leader dog program, has at one time sponsored a June Jamboree fun event as well as a winter carnival, has sponsored local card parties and, in recent years, has made a major financial contribution to the QueenswayCarleton Hospital. Wives and partners of Lions Club members have belonged, over the years, to the Stittsville Lionettes, a group which has helped the Lions in their community projects and other activities. The Stittsville District Lions Club has done its part with regard to the higher branches of Lionism, with five members attaining offices at the zone or district levels or beyond. Denzil Graham served as zone chairman in 1979/80 and as deputy district governor in 1980/81 while Ray Thomas was zone chairman in 1970/71 and deputy district governor in 1971/72. Charter president Ernie Moore

was zone chairman in 1966/67 as well as deputy district governor and district governor. He went on to become chairman of the Board and treasurer for Multiple District A. Stittsville Lion Jack Burke went on from the presidency of the Stittsville District Lions Club in 1992/93 to become zone chairman, regional chairman and then vice-district governor before being elected as governor of Lions District A4 for the 1996/97 term. Don Zogalo of the Stittsville District Lions Club served as zone chairman in 1995/96 and then region chairman in 1996/97 before going on to become vice-district governor in 1999/2000 and then district governor. The Lions Club members have had to work hard over the years to carry the financial burden associated with the Medical Centre, a added challenge to raising the funds initially to build the Medical Centre. For several years, the Club operated a refreshment booth at the Capital City Speedway on highway seven west of Stittsville. This was a major source of revenue for the Club, enabling it to meet its obligations in connection with the Medical Centre and also allowing it to contribute to various community endeavours and needs. Charter members of the Stittsville District Lions Club in 1964 were Rev. R.S.V. Crossley, Ray Thomas, Howard Raycroft, Ernie Moore, Bud Haw, John Nicol, Morley James, J.W. Murray, J.R. Martin, F.M. Smith, R.R. Trottier, J.R. Armstrong, W.H. Spearman, Roger Lessard, Perce McKinley, John Black, J.S. Bradley, H.J. Dick, Elroy McCooeye, W.G. MacDonnell, S.C. Bradley, R.F. Comrie, Hari Dilawri, Denzil Graham, Corey Johnson, Ted Martin and Wendell McRae.

October 1974 fire results in new gymnasium at SCHS The $700,000 addition consisted of 12 vocational rooms, including five shops, one science room, one commercial room, one home economics room, four general classrooms and the necessary auxiliary services. The addition enabled South Carleton to offer complete courses comparable to any composite high school. This allowed SCHS students to complete their individual courses without transferring to the Ottawa Technical High School for grades 11 and 12.

It was expected that South Carleton High School, as a composite school, would reach an enrolment of 1,100 students by 1963 due to growth in the school’s catchment area. The addition was completed in the fall of 1962. In April 1965, the South Carleton High School Board received final approval from the Department of Education and from the federal Department of Labour for the building of an addition and alterations estimated to cost over one million dollars. The total cost of this addition,

constructed by M. Sullivan Company of Arnprior, was $1,384,349, with the federal government contributing 50 percent, the provincial government supplying 25 percent, and the local school district, which included the village of Stittsville, paying 25 percent. This addition included 12 classrooms, science rooms, commercial rooms, shops, a greenhouse, a cafeteria addition, a staff room addition and a gymnasium as well as renovations. South Carleton High School opened on Tuesday, Sept. 7,

1965 for the new school year even though the new addition would not be finished for several weeks. Work on the million dollar project was progressing with 14 temporary classroom areas in use during the fall term. These areas were in the gymnasium, basement, cafeteria and staff rooms. Enrolment was expected to be 1,150 students, an increase of 125 over the previous year. The 1965 addition was the last of the construction projects undertaken by the South

Carleton High School Board which was replaced by the Carleton Board of Education on Jan. 1, 1969 as South Carleton became one of the schools of the larger new county board. The next construction at South Carleton came about not as a result of enrolment growth but because of a fire on Oct. 9, 1974. The fire gutted the school’s cafeteria and kitchen, making the double gym unusable. After a brief interruption of

a few days, school life continued that year, with the Carleton Board of Education taking action to repair the damage. The Carleton Board of Education awarded a contract for the construction of a new double gymnasium at South Carleton High School to Bulwark Construction Ltd. in the summer of 1975 at a cost of $530,200. The complete project costs, including architects’ fees and other costs, was $640,667.
