Rotary Club members hear from RYLA program student John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Every June the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville sends a local high school student to the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program that in recent years has been held at Paul Smiths College at Lake Placid in New York State. This year South Carleton High School student Maddie Hale was selected as the Club’s representative at this youth leadership program. And in her report to the Club members about the program which she delivered at the Club’s meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 19, Maddie gave the camp a glowing assessment, saying that it had been a great experience and she would recommend that the Club continue sending someone to the annual program. Maddie explained what happened on each day of the three day program, John Curry/Metroland noting that the youth there had been Maddie Hale, centre, shows the certificate which she received for attending the Rotary Youth Leadership split into seven teams with five or six Awards (RYLA) program in New York State to Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville members Jas Michalski, youth on each team. She was on a left, and Theresa Qadri, right, after making a presentation about her experience at the RYLA program at the five member team which called themselves the “Fantastic Four Plus One” Club’s meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 19. which consisted of four girls and one boy. In the camp’s windup awards,

the team won the award for best team effort during the camp. Maddie said that the first day lectures and activities helped her learn that a person has to respect others and their decisions in working together as a team. The second day included not only more presentations and lectures but also involved some free time in which the youth could do rock climbing, enjoy the beach or experience a challenge course. The lectures and activities on the second day helped Maddie realize that a leader has to have integrity and determination to get work completed, even if it means working with others in difficult situations. The third day at the camp was termed a “pretty sad day” by Maddie as it involved saying goodbye to the many new friends which she had made at the camp. A number of awards were handed out and every youth received a certificate marking participation in the program. Maddie said that at the camp she learned that a leader is not someone who bosses everyone around but rather is one who listens to others and works with them.

On-ice sessions open to the public to watch Continued from page 1

The on-ice sessions will take place this Friday, Aug. 28 from 5:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.; this Saturday, Aug. 29 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon; this Saturday, Aug. 29 from 4:15 p.m. to 6:15 p.m.; and this Sunday, Aug. 30 from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. In addition, members of the public are encouraged to attend a special “Try Sledge Hockey” event that will take place this Sunday, Aug. 30 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) is hosting this “Try Sledge Hockey” event in which anyone wishing to experience sledge hockey will be able to try out the sport. Those attending are encouraged to bring along their own hockey gear if available. Otherwise, gear will be provided. Sledges and sticks will definitely be provided. Andrew Henry of Stittsville, who is president of SHEO, says that Women’s Sledge Hockey of Canada, which is hosting the National Selection Camp for the Canadian Wom-

en’s Sledge Hockey Team at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, selected Stittsville and the Goulbourn Recreation Complex because it wanted to hold the Selection Camp away from the Greater Toronto area. The national organization is aware of the work that SHEO has been doing with regard to sledge hockey in this area, giving it an added reason to select the Ottawa area as the site for the National Selection Camp. In addition, the Goulbourn Recreation Complex was designed to accommodate sledge hockey in terms of player benches, access to the ice surface and other features. Sledge hockey allows athletes with disabilities to play the game of ice hockey. Players sit close to the ice strapped tightly inside a bucket-type seat fastened to a cast aluminum frame that has been fitted with two skate blades placed beneath the bucket. Players propel themselves across the ice with two shortened hockey sticks with sharp picks on each end. Players are fully equipped with the same hockey equipment and protection

worn for able-bodied hockey. Sledge hockey is played as a full contact sport. The International Paralympic Committee supports women’s sledge hockey development as documented in the group’s Ice Sledge Hockey Strategic Plan. Canada hosted the first International Paralympic Committee Ice Sledge Hockey International Women’s Cup last November. This was a milestone event for women’s sledge hockey around the world, bringing them closer to their dream of having women’s sledge hockey included in the Paralympics. It was the first sledge hockey competition for women to be sanctioned by the sport’s governing body. It is anticipated now that women’s sledge hockey will be a fully sanctioned medal sport at the Paralympics in 2022. Currently there are women’s sledge hockey teams in Canada, the United States and Europe. Men’s sledge hockey has been a part of the winter Paralympics since 1994. Since then, sledge hockey has become one of the largest attrac-

tions for spectators at winter Paralympic Games. In sledge hockey, each team attempts to outscore its opponent by scoring on the opposing team while preventing the opposing team from scoring. Six players including a goalie are on the ice at any one time. Double-blade sledges that allow the puck to pass underneath replace skates. The players use sticks with a spike-end and a blade-end. With a quick flip of the wrist, players are able to propel themselves using the spikes and then play the puck using the blade-end of the sticks. Ice sledge hockey was invented at a rehabilitation centre in Stockholm, Sweden during the early 1960’s by a group of Swedes who, despite their physical impairment, wanted to continue playing hockey. The men modified a metal frame sled or sledge with two regular sized ice hockey skate blades that allowed the puck to pass underneath. Using round poles with bike handles for sticks, the men played without any goalies on a lake south of Stockholm. The sport caught on and by 1969, Stockholm had a five team league. During the 1970’s, teams from Sweden and Norway played once or twice a year. Several other countries began to establish teams including Canada in 1982, the United States in 1990 and Japan in 1993. Two Swedish teams played an exhibition match at the inaugural Paralympic Winter Games in Sweden in 1976. Ice sledge hockey became an official sport at the 1994 Paralympic Winter Games in Lillehammer, Norway. Ice sledge hockey world championships have been held

Members of the public are welcome to watch free of charge the on-ice sessions that will be taking place. since 1996. Women’s sledge hockey programs began in Canada and the United States in 2006. The first ever all-female game of sledge hockey was played in

Ottawa between Canada and the United States in 2007. The first Canadian National Women’s Sledge Hockey Team Selection Camp was held in Aug. 2007.

Playing in the Ontario Curling Association bantam boys provincial championship final. Awesome. Playing this championship game on the home ice of the opponent. Daunting. Going into an extra end and knowing that eight perfect shots will win the championship banner. Challenging. Making all eight shots to capture the provincial championship. A dream come true! But this is what a bantam boys (age 16 and under) curling rink representing the Richmond Curling Club did earlier this year, capping off a season that saw the four curlers achieve their goal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Ontario Curling Association bantam boys provincial championship. The Ontario Curling Association (OCA) championship banner was formally presented to the winning rink in a brief ceremony at the Richmond Curling Club in Richmond last Saturday. Members of the championship rink are Michael Morra, skip; Sean Armstrong, third; Grant Fraser, second; and Matthew Morra, lead. Byron Scott is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach.

lives in Cambridge. Coach Scott had coached Grant Fraser and Sean Armstrong for a number of years and looked for two other bantam-age curlers who were similarly focused on the sport and whose personalities would mesh with the group. He knew of Michael Morra and his brother Matthew Morra from coaching against them and the team came together. But coming from such far-flung areas meant a lot of travel throughout the season for the team, both for practises and for competitions. Coach Scott found the foursome was committed to learning and practising and playing together as a unit. Indeed, he admits that the four players were a pleasure to coach during the season. See CURLING CHAMPIONS, page 6

The team represented the Richmond Curling Club during the season as third Sean Armstrong from Greely is familiar with the Richmond club as his aunt, long time Richmond curler Shirley Reddick, curls there. Indeed, Sean has a long involvement with the Richmond Curling Club as he remembers as a youngster attending family Christmas gatherings there. There are even stories of Sean sitting on a curling stone and being sent down the ice by his uncle, the late Warren Reddick. Coach Scott praises the team’s skip, Michael Morra, for being a very astute skip who he says “blossomed as a leader” during the course of the season. He said that Michael learned to throw the last rock under pressure and yet not let it bother him. It was this advancement that was a key to the team’s success over the course of the season. Coach Scott called third Sean Armstrong the “voice of reason” on the team, providing great support to the skip. He calls Sean a “great thrower” with a “big shotability” trait. Coach Scott notes that second Grant Fraser, who is a multi-sport athlete, is one of the best sweepers in this age group. Lead Matthew Morra is one of the best leads in the province, coach Scott says, noting that Matthew is great at setting the table for the team. When Matthew makes all his shots, the team usually wins, coach Scott said. Skip Michael Morra says that all members of the team are “phenomenal hitters” who like to play the take out game when possible, keeping the score low . The team’s strategy was to hit a lot, he notes. Skip Michael and his brother Matthew, the lead, have been curling together since they started curling 11 years ago. Michael says that Matthew is good at setting up an end and is also good at hitting. Skip Michael says that Grant Fraser, the second, is good at hitting as well but also is good at draws. He makes tough shots look easy, the skip says. The skip also notes that third Sean Armstrong was a great help on the ice, suggesting different ways to look at situations. He also praised Sean’s curling ability, saying that he makes runbacks, takeouts and hits, all with equal success. Besides winning the OCA bantam boys provincial championship, Michael and his brother Matthew also won the provincial bantam mixed championship, curling out of the Bayview Golf and Country Club in Toronto. Michael says that he, his brother and Grant would travel to this area weekend after weekend during the curling season, joining Sean here for practices and competitions. He remarked that he now finds the drive short as he has

onship by defeating Oshawa in an extra end, playing at the Oshawa team’s home rink. It was an amazing extra end, with the Richmond team making every one of its eight shots in the end – a perfect way to end a run to the provincial championship. Coach Scott said that the team really came together this season, playing hard and not quitting. He noted that the team was seeded third going into the provincial championships but ended up winning. The team is now going to be play the Northern Ontario bantam boys championship team, probably in November, in a best of three with the winner going on to represent all of Ontario at the upcoming U18 competition. Coach Scott, who has been to ten provincial championships, had never coached the championship team before this season. He notes that there are many good bantam curlers in the province which makes winning the championship banner a rare event. He said that such a moment is one to be cherished. This team representing the Richmond Curling Club had to get through both zone and regional competitions in order to get to the pro-

vincial championships. The team had set as its goal at the beginning of the season to win the provincial championship banner but as skip Michael Morra explained at the banner presentation ceremony last Saturday, the season turned out to be a “huge roller coaster” of a ride, calling it “quite the journey.” This is the second OCA provincial championship banner to come to the Richmond Curling Club this year. Last June an OCA provincial championship banner was presented to the Richmond Curling Club rink which won the 2015 Tim Hortons Timbits Provincial Championship emblematic of the elementary school curling championship in the province. The fourmember rink represented Kars On The Rideau Public School, capturing the provincial championship in Gananoque by winning six straight games against 63 other teams representing elementary schools from across the province. Members of this 2015 Tim Hortons Timbits Provincial Championship tema were Lucas Houle, lead; Jordan McNamara, second; Julia Brennan, third; and Adrienne Belliveau, skip. All four began their curling at the Richmond Curling Club, starting with Little Rocks curling. The rink was coached by Angela Houle and Michelle Belliveau.

Beach closure policy is silly

ttawa Mayor Jim Watson never fails to tout how fiscally prudent his administration is and how under his watch the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budgeting process is squeezed so tight that the purse strings on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective wallet squeak when you try to tug at them. Watson says it is all about priorities, and he says it over and over again. In general, being stingy about spending public funds is an admirable quality that is indeed the prudent way to go, but there are times when being tight with a public buck can be downright silly. In a city that has a short summer, closing Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches in the middle of August is being penny-wise but pound foolish. It is being silly with a capital â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sâ&#x20AC;?. Ask anyone in the city when the summer season is and they will tell you that it starts at the end of the school year and continues until the Labour Day weekend. That is an eastern Canadian summer. Always has been, always will be. And yet the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer beach season starts in late June but ends on the third Sunday of August. It seems to be an arbitrary end date chosen more with an eye on how to save money on the cost of staff, lifeguards and public health water safety testing, rather than for any common sense

reason that has to do with what residents of the city would consider our summer season. Which is why the closing of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beaches on Aug. 16 this year, just as the city started to get all hot and bothered by a week-long heat wave, has rightly been mocked as being a ridiculous situation. That is why Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans, chairwoman of the community and protective services committee, is asking city staff to take another look at the official beach season to see if it can be extended or changed to better align with Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer weather. There are those at the city who say this is the way it has been for years, that the last few weeks of August are traditionally cooler than earlier in the summer, that French schools return to class before the end of August, etc., etc. And anyway, this is what fits our budget. The simple reply to all that is, so what? Just because it has been this way for years doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean it is the right way to do something. Summer in Ottawa is short enough as it is. There is no valid reason why we should continue to allow the powers that be at city hall shorten our summers even more by officially closing our beaches before what we all know to be our summer season is actually over.

Fall blight taking hold

his week you can look around and see election signs beginning to sprout on peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawns, giant cardboard flowers in blue, red, orange and green. You might feel one way about that or you might feel the other. The odd thing about the sudden flowering of election signs on private property that began last week, was that the federal election was already more than two weeks old when the signs first began appearing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because there are Ottawa municipal regulations that somehow supersede whatever is going on federally. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rules state that election campaign signs cannot be on private property until 60 days before the election. This wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of an issue in

Those candidates who have spoken about it seem relieved that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to deal with signs for a couple of weeks. They were spared some expense and their workers could concentrate on other things. Some people not involved in politics were downright happy about the delay.

blight. Any postponement of their appearance was just fine. You can understand that point of view but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another way of looking at it. Election signs can be unsightly. They can make the city look messy. But who says everything in life has to be tidy? Ever been to a carnival or a picnic? In a way what we see is a metaphor for our system of government. Democracy can be unsightly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly messy. And, like the garden of election signs, democracy is colourful, but not always in the most tasteful of ways. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good guess that no one at city hall had a 78-day campaign like ours in mind when the 60-day rule was put in place. So there shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, in a reasonable world, be any objection to changing the rules to get rid of the restriction. In a reasonable world, city governments shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to tell the federal government how a DISTRIBUTION INQUIRIES 4RACI #AMERON ADMINISTRATION: $ONNA 4HERIEN DISPLAY ADVERTISING: 'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AV'ISELE 'ODIN +ANATA $AVE 0ENNETT /TTAWA 7EST #INDY 'ILBERT /TTAWA 3OUTH #ARLY -C'HIE /TTAWA %AST 'EOFF (AMILTON (OME "UILDERS !CCOUNTS 3PECIALIST 6ALERIE 2OCHON "ARRHAVEN *ILL -ARTIN .EPEAN -IKE 3TOODLEY 3TITTSVILLE *ANINE +IVELL /TTAWA 7EST 2ICO #ORSI !UTOMOTIVE #ONSULTANT

federal election campaign can be waged. The new bylaw could just prohibit election signs on private property until the election is called. Then people who consider signs distasteful will simply have put up with them a bit longer. And people who consider it their democratic right to support their candidate by putting a sign on their lawns will have the right to do so for as long as the election lasts. The local rules also prohibit signs on public property, such as road allowances, until 30 days before the election date. That neednâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change. Obviously, the city is well within its rights there, especially given the necessity of making sure that signs do not interfere with visibility. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to see what harm a lawn sign can do. To some of us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun to watch the duels develop on our street. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraging to see the level of interest in

Cross-Canada horseback ride stopping in Stittsville John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A cross-Canada ride on horseback pulls into Stittsville this Friday. “The Ride Across Canada,” led by Canadian veteran Paul Nichols, will be arriving in Stittsville via the Trans Canada Trail this Friday, Aug. 28 at about 4 p.m., to be greeted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and members of the Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion at Village Square Park. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend this welcoming ceremony and a subsequent get-together at the Stittsville Legion Hall nearby on Stittsville Main Street.

The Stittsville Legion Hall will also be the site for a dinner in honour of “The Ride Across Canada” this Saturday, Aug. 29, starting at 5:30 p.m. with a chicken dinner being served at 6:30 p.m. This dinner is open to members of the public at a cost of $15 per person. Reservations must be made in advance by this Thursday, Aug. 27 by calling the Legion Hall at 613-836-1632. A dance will follow the dinner at 7:30 p.m., with “Hands of Time” providing the music. “The Ride Across Canada” on horseback is a project of the Community For Veterans Foundation which is a registered not-forprofit organization based in British Columbia. In the ride, lead rider Paul Nichols is

joined by other veterans on horseback for various sections of the ride. This ride across Canada on horseback is taking place to raise awareness about the physical and mental health challenges facing Canadian veterans of all ages. The aim of “The Ride Across Canada” is to make it across Canada on horseback in roughly 200 days, including as many veteran guest riders as possible. Along the way, Paul Nichols and the others involved with the ride will be encouraging veterans to tell their stories. It is hoped that by the time that the ride reaches the Atlantic coast, the stories of over 700 Canadian veterans will have been heard. Guest riders are ranging in age from 93

years old and serving in World War Two to 23 years of age and serving in Afghanistan. The Communities for Veterans Foundation believes that Canadians need to know the stories of the country’s veterans, whether they be veterans of World War Two or of peacekeeping missions or of international operations like the Afghanistan mission. Knowing the stories of these veterans will help in decisions on how to help them and how to support them. “The Ride Across Canada” is collecting the stories of veterans while also introducing them to their own communities from the saddle of a horse. Veterans are volunteering not only to be part of the ride but also to share their stories. “The Ride Across Canada” is using six horses, named Zoe, Skip, Cowboy, Shakes, Abby and Abby Pete. “Our job is to put as many veterans in the saddle as we can to show Canadians who our veterans are and tell their stories,” says lead rider and veteran Paul Nichols on the ride’s website. He notes that he decided to undertake this ride across Canada because of his own experiences with horses and how these experiences were important to him when he returned to civilian life from his service in the military. Paul Nichols is the one veteran who will be riding all the way across the country in this ride. Part of the crew associated with the ongoing management of the ride is Terry Nichols, Paul’s wife, who has not only experienced Paul’s post-traumatic stress disorder issues but also had her own battle after a life threatening accident with her horse. She is a certified therapeutic riding instructor and her job on the ride is to provide the lessons to the veterans who want to be guest riders. It is her responsibility to take beginner riders to a safe level and to ensure the safety of both the veterans and the horses throughout the ride. Canada has over 540,000 veterans whose average age is 56 years old. “The Ride Across Canada” started in Victoria, B.C. and will end in St. John’s, Nfld. It is expected that the ride will take an estimated 211 days.

Two kidney donors are participating in Kidney Walk John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Helene Rivest and Eileen Winters have both donated a kidney. For Helene, it has been just over a year since she donated a kidney to an unknown recipient. For Eileen, it was 11 years ago last Monday that she donated a kidney to her sister. Both are now healthy with no repercussions from having donated a kidney. Helene does not know about the current status of the unknown recipient of her kidney but Eileen can report that her sister is still today enjoying good health, 11 years after the transplant. And while Helene and Eileen have shared the experience of donating a kidney, they are also going to share being a team in the upcoming Kidney Walk in Stittsville. They have named their team “KidDon” and are now seeking donations as they seek to help raise funds for the Kidney Foundation in the Walk which happens on Sunday, Sept. 13. On the actual day of the Kidney Walk, Helene and Eileen and any other team members who wish to join them will be dressing up with hats and other flamboyant acJohn Curry/Metroland cessories and will also be carrying a sign with their team Eileen Winters, left, and Helene Rivest, right, who are both kidney donors, stand with a sign publicizing the upcoming name as they take part in the Walk.

Septemberfest on opening night of Richmond Fair John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

There’s the famous Oktoberfest beer festival in Germany and, here in Canada, in KitchenerWaterloo. Well, move over Oktoberfest – now there’s Septemberfest and it’s all going to happen right on the opening night of the annual Richmond Fair in Richmond. Yes, that’s right – an event featuring music and refreshments (it’s a licensed event) which will take place on Thursday, Sept. 17 on the ice

slab at the Richmond arena. Running from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight, Septemberfest will feature the music of “3’s A Crowd.” But there will be a slight cover charge of two dollars, as this Septemberfest is also being held by the Richmond Agricultural Society as a fundraiser for the “Mission To A Million” campaign of 15 year old Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville. All of the cover charge proceeds, including any donations over the two dollar mark that are made, will go to Tysen’s campaign that is raising funds for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. The one million dollar goal will allow the

granting of 100 wishes for children who are facing lifethreatening health situations. Already Tysen’s campaign has raised over $300,000. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario personnel will be on site at Septemberfest to issue income tax receipts on the spot for any donations of $20 or more to Tysen’s campaign. Tysen himself will be on hand at Septemberfest as will representatives of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Both will speak at an opening ceremony, explaining about the “Mission To A Million” campaign. Car-O-Practor Auto Pro of Richmond is generously covering the cost of the “3’s A Crowd” band that will be playing at Septemberfest. It is this sponsorship and generosity that is allowing the Richmond Agricultural Society to turn Septemberfest into a fundraiser for Tysen’s “Mission to A Million” as far as admission charges are concerned. This all came about when it was suggested at a meeting of the Richmond Agricultural Society’s Homecraft Division that Tysen Lefebvre be allowed to have a booth or information kiosk at the Fair to promote awareness of

his campaign. However, when CarO-Practor Auto Pro stepped forward to sponsor the band at the Thursday evening Septemberfest, a decision was made to turn Septemberfest into a fundraiser for Tysen as a way of giving back to the community. And so this is what is going to happen. Septemberfest will not be Tysen’s only appearance at this year’s Richmond Fair. He will be participating in the annual Fair parade, riding in the MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario vehicle. In addition, there will be donation boxes for Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” campaign set up at the Fair’s information booth on the fairgrounds on both the Saturday and Sunday of the Fair. The Thursday evening Septemberfest in the Richmond arena is just the beginning of a great lineup of entertainment at this year’s Richmond Fair. Friday evening will see David Wilcox and Alex Ryder providing the entertainment. Saturday afternoon in the arena will feature singer Chris McCann and the Next Generation Leahy family group. The Saturday night dance in the arena will feature entertainment by Jason Blaine, with the band Sidewinder opening for him. The Sunday afternoon entertainment in the arena, running from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., will include a star-studded lineup including local country legend Neville Wells, the duo of Randall Prescott and Tracy Brown, Marty Haggard who is the son of American country music star Merle Haggard and local band Gord Barnes and Laredo. In addition to all of this entertainment in the arena, there will be even more entertainment than ever before on the Fair’s outdoor stage, including what is shaping up as an awesome youth talent competition on the Sunday afternoon.

Agricultural Society Special to the News

Dale Greene is the general manager of the Richmond Agricultural Society while Janet Hawkins is the treasurer. This year’s Richmond Fair, which takes place from Thursday, Sept. 17 through Sunday, Sept. 20 under the auspices of the Richmond Agricultural Society, is the 171st annual Fair, dating back to 1844.

Connected to your community

Promote self-conďŹ dence in children through sports and martial arts Playing individual and team sports is a great way to help children develop social

skills and raise self-esteem. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall and Winter Recreation eGuide offers a wide selection of classes that provide these beneďŹ ts, as well as building upon life skills. For some, the journey to higher self esteem begins and ends with martial arts. You can register for a variety of martial arts classes from the more familiar practices of Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to building conďŹ dence, martial arts are known to promote physical ďŹ tness, discipline, respect and self control. Participating in sports and exercise can create a supportive environment that acknowledges a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skill development and provides positive social relationships with teammates and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning Sports Club for a unique team experience. You are never too young to start learning these skills. Children three and four years old can develop athletic ability and improve conďŹ dence through sport and games in a sportball class. The program introduces basic skills such as balance, large muscle development and body awareness. There is also a variety of sports options for adults and children alike offered through City-wide Sports. Physical activity programs promote fun, friendship, skill development, conďŹ dence building and fair play values while learning to play in a team setting.

More than sports Wanda Keenan Photography

Touchdown!

Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain conďŹ dence in their abilities through jazz dance; or improve balance, coordination and self-esteem through Irish dancing. How about cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?

Fall classes start soon!

Addition of music at Richmond Legion BBQ Special to the News

On the evenings when the regular BBQ’s are held by the Richmond Legion, the Legion Hall on Ottawa Street is filled with good food and fellowship. For last Friday’s BBQ, another ingredient was added as music also filled the Legion Hall as Andrew McKim hosted an open mic session at the BBQ. Andrew himself, accompanied by

Scott Andrews, another singer and guitarist, opened up the open mic session. The pair were followed on the Legion Hall stage by Andrew’s father, Bill McKim who performed several songs, accompanying himself on the guitar as he sat on a stool on the stage. Victoria Calogeracos followed on stage, singing and accompanying herself on the guitar on several songs. She was joined on stage by

Andrew McKim, right, sings and plays the guitar as Scott Andrews, left, accompanies him on the guitar at the open mic session at the Richmond Legion Hall in Richmond last Friday evening.

Liam Maahs who sang along with her while also playing the guitar. Liam then took over as a solo performer before being rejoined by Victoria for a couple of songs. Andrew McKim and Scott Andrews then rounded out the open mic session, taking the stage again.

Again last Friday, there were more than 100 people who attended and enjoy the BBQ at the Richmond Legion. These BBQ’s are held every second Friday throughout the summer. This year almost every one of these BBQ’s has attracted over 100 peo-

ple. The steaks, hamburgers and hot dogs are all grilled outside on barbecues with tables set up inside the Richmond Legion Hall where people enjoy their specially-cooked BBQ food as well as enjoy other treats such as dessert.

The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville was a lively place last Friday evening. Whether it was classic rock or folk or country, performers “Terry Restoule & Friends” presented a program that continuously filled the shop with upbeat sounds.

Terry, who handled vocals as well as some harmonica accompaniment, was joined at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop by Richard Beres on lead guitar, bass guitarist Chris Must and drummer Gord Logan. And songs associated with many of the famous names in music were performed during the evening.

See CLASSIC ROCK, page 31

Classic rock, folk music at Gaia Java shop Continued from page 30

On the folk side of things, there was “City of New Orleans,” a song originally from Steve Goodman’s 1971 album which became much more famous thanks to Willie Nelson’s 1984 version which ended up winning Steve Goodman a posthumous Grammy Award for Best Country Song. Another song, one that has crossed the generations in modern music, was “Before You Accuse Me,” which was a blues song written and recorded by early rock and roll icon Bob Diddley in 1957 and which then became a classic rock hit thanks to English singer Eric Clapton who recorded the song on two albums, one in 1989 and one in 1992. A Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop does not seem to go by without the performance of a train song and last Friday was no different, as Terry and his friends performed “Runaway Train,” a power ballad released by the American alternative rock band Soul Asylum in 1993 as a single. It won the Grammy Award in 1994 for Best Rock Song. Another song that goes back to the 1960’s that rocked the Gaia Java shop last Friday, even prompting some singalong portions, was “Mustang Sally,” a song best known for the 1966 recording by American rhythm and blues, soul and rock and roll singer Wilson Pickett. Over the years, the song has been covered by numerous singers including Eric Clapton and Bruce Springsteen. And the program continued to read like a who’s who of classic rock music with “Hey Joe,” a song that has become a rock standard whose best known version is a 1966 recording by Jimi Hendrix, the American guitarist and singer who is considered one of the most influential electric guitarists ever in modern music. And what would a selection of rock songs be without a song associated with the Irish rock band U2 which has won more Grammy Awards than any other band. So, those at the Friday music night got to hear “One,” a song from a 1991 U2 album which was then released as a single in 1992. But it was not just any single but it was released as a benefit single, raising funds for AIDS research. U2 virtually always performs this song at its tour concerts.

Other songs performed at this Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop included “Waiting on a Friend,” a song which the English rock band The Rolling Stones included on a 1981 album and later released as a single; and “Black Magic Woman,” a hit in 1970 for the Latin rock band Santana which was initially released by Fleetwood Mac in 1968. Terry Restoule and Richard Beres started playing together four years ago in a classic

rock band. In the fall of 2013, Terry and Richard formed “T ‘n R” to start embracing other music styles besides classic rock. Joined by Chris Must on bass guitar, they have been playing around the area with a variety of country, pop and classic rock cover songs. For this appearance at the Gaia Java shop, they were joined by drummer Gord Logan who even joined in vocally on some songs. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters

A commercial lease is a complex legal document. In addition to the usual but important commercial provisions such as the term of the lease and monthly rentals, there are numerous other commercial and legal provisions and terms that may significantly increase costs or may otherwise adversely affect your business. Most commercial leases are not in a standard form and vary substantially from each other. This significantly complicates review by anyone other than the most experienced business person or professional advisor because even seemingly minor variations may have significant impact on costs or legal rights. A simple example is in respect of the leasehold improvements that a landlord builds for you at the commencement of the lease. You might expect, correctly, that those improvements belong to the landlord at the end of the lease. You might not expect that the lease may provide the Landlord with the option of requiring you to pay the cost of tearing out those improvements at the end

About Allan Snelling

Gord Logan sings along as he plays the drums at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday.

the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville holds a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free although donations to help the performers with their expenses are appreciated.

of the term - yet some leases provide exactly that. A Landlord has a legitimate interest in knowing who their tenant is, and thus many leases provide for restrictions on assignment. At the same time, you may wish to sell your business sometime in the future, and want to know that you can do so without being unfairly restricted by your landlord. In our experience, most landlords are willing to negotiate one-sided assignment restrictions to provisions that more fairly balance their concerns with your business objectives. The commercial lease is often the first or second largest expense line after salaries and wages and accordingly requires careful consideration. A lawyer with experience in commercial leasing matters can review your lease and provide you with comments and advice enabling you to obtain a commercial leasing arrangement that meets your business’ needs.

Stittsville Villa residents turn out for Big Bike John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It was quite a sight in front of the Stittsville Villa Revera Retirement Community on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 20 at 3:45 p.m. About 60 residents and staff, including a couple on a second floor balcony above the front entrance, were at the

front of the facility – some near the front door under the entrance roof and many others lined up along Stittsville Main Street, some with their walkers, some with celebratory signs. Some motorists passing by on Stittsville Main Street honked their horns in support of the assembled seniors. The residents had turned out in such numbers to cheer on the Revera Retirement Living team that was participating in the Big

Bike fundraising event happening in Stittsville on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 20. This is an event in which teams of up to 29 people ride a bicycle built for 30 (29 plus the driver Jack Junkin) with the goal of raising funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Revera Retirement Living, representing both the Stittsville Villa in Stittsville and Robertson House in Bells Corners, entered a team in this Big Bike fundraising event this year. And what made it special for the Stittsville Villa resi-

dents was that the route for this year’s Big Bike event was along Stittsville Main Street, right in front of the facility. That’s why so many were there from 3:30 p.m. onwards, waiting for the Revera Retirement Living team to pass by. And what a team it was! Some bike riders had colourful hair pieces, others wore playful sunglasses, others waved pompoms. See BIG BIKE, page 34

Stittsville Villa Revera Retirement Community resident Gaby Anawati holds a sign promoting the Big Bike fundraiser for the Heart and Stroke Foundation as he is outside the Villa on Thursday afternoon, Aug. 20, waiting for the Big Bike powered by the Revera Retirement Living team to arrive.

Then there was Dave Garskey of the Villa staff who showed up with long black hair (a wig) and was barechested, wearing rubber overalls. And among the team members was Stittsville Villa resident Ronald Sheffield who is turning 94 this September but who cycled the whole route in the company of his son Bill Sheffield. What made the Big Bike ride even more special was that the Big Bike with the Revera Retirement Living team aboard and being led by an Ottawa Police Service cruiser pulled off Stittsville Main Street at the Villa and pulled up right in front of the facility, with Big Bike area coordinator Jeff Larocque using the Big Bike’s public address system to thank all of the Villa residents for their support. This, though, was not all, as then the Big Bike continued on its route, turning around at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community arena and then returning along Stittsville Main Street, passing in front of the Villa again, much to the delight and cheers of the onlooking Villa residents. The Revera Retirement Living team, in fact, was the only one to cover the whole route in this year’s Big Bike event in Stittsville and indeed, it was the only team to enjoy good weather for the ride as rainy weather moved in afterwards and affected the subsequent rides. The route as pedalled by the Revera Retirement Living team saw the Big Bike leave the parking lot at Brown’s

Your Independent Grocer and travel south on Stittsville Main Street (passing the Stittsville Villa) before turning around at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and returning northbound on Stittsville Main Street. The Big Bike then turned onto Carp Road, going to Hazeldean Road, where the Big Bike turned eastbound to Stittsville Main Street where the Big Bike then headed south on Stittsville Main Street to end up back at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. Four other teams also participated in this Big Bike fundraising event in Stittsville on Thursday, Aug. 20. They included teams representing The Court at Barrhaven (Atria Retirement Community); Modern Niagara; Stittsville District Lions Club and Team Qadri; and Schneider Electric & Friends. The Court at Barrhaven was a smaller group, with about 15 riders on the 30 seat Big Bike. One of its team members, 92 year old Doreen Cosenzo, pedaled with the team on its ride. She rides a stationary bike 20 minutes a day at the retirement home. Indeed, she has accumulated 11,000 miles on the stationary bike, so you know that the Big Bike route was not a challenge for her. It was pouring rain when the Stittsville District Lions Club team, accompanied by the team of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, took to the Big Bike course. Rain ponchos did not make much different with the R0063384120

rain pelting down. But that did not deter the Lions/Qadri teams from making noise, as cowbells were distributed to all of the riders for the ride. The Stittsville District Lions Club held a BBQ in association with this Big Bike fundraising event, with the Lions tent and BBQ set up in the Brown’s Your Independent Grocer parking lot where the Big Bike rides started and ended. Donations made to the BBQ were turned over to the Big Bike event. Representatives of Goodlife Fitness on Hazeldean Road were present at the Big Bike event to lead the riders in warm-up exercises before they mounted the Big Bike. Radio station Boom 99.7 had a tent set up at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, with its music adding a festive atmosphere to the Big Bike event. The Big Bike fundraising goal for the Ottawa area this summer was $265,500. This event in Stittsville was the second last Big Bike fundraising event of the season, as the Big Bike season wrapped up with an event at the Capital Fair at the Rideau Carleton Raceway last Friday. The Big Bike raises funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation as each rider is committed to raising at least $50 for the cause. Last year, across Canada, over 70,000 riders in Big Bike events in over 200 communities raised over eight million dollars for heart and stroke research. See BIG BIKE, page 36

Players from Goulbourn on provincial champion girls box lacrosse team Special to the News

Submitted

Members of the Nepean Knights Ontario champion Girls Midget “C” box lacrosse team which won the recent provincial championship tournament in Whitby are, front row, seated, from left, Hanna Durham, Kayle Osborne, Hunter Gibbons and Haley Bowditch; second row, standing, from left, Hailey Gibbons, Brigette Deering, Athena Williams, Emily Stobo, Ariana Bowditch, Ashley Woods, Jade Todd, Tara Lepine, Sofie Green and Courtney Woods; and, back row, from left, manager Laila Gibbons, coach Bill Durham, coach Clayton Lepine, trainer Mark Bowditch, coach Craig Bowditch and coach Jeff Green.

The Nepean Knights Girls Midget “C” box lacrosse team has captured the provincial championship. And this team, which won the provincial championship banner and trophy in the recent championship tournament in Whitby, includes six players from Goulbourn among its 14-player roster. Members of this championship team include Ariana Bowditch, Haley Bowditch, Ashley Woods and Courtney Woods, all from Stittsville, as well as Sofie Green from Richmond and Kayle Osborne from Munster. The team headed off to the provincial championship tournament in Whitby after a season in which the team lost all of its games in regular zone play. The team played Kingston, Gloucester and Akwesasne in this regular zone play and those teams were all

ranked either “A” or “B” teams. The Nepean Knights are a “C” team. However, despite losing all of its zone games, this Nepean Knights team was never discouraged, approaching each game as a learning experience. Coaches Craig Bowditch, Jeff Green, Bill Durham and Clayton Lepine along with trainer Mark Bowditch made sure that the team kept advancing, sometimes with tough practices. In addition, manager Laila Gibbons kept this squad of teenage girls organized and ready to play. As the time came closer to participate in the provincial tournament, the players got more excited and worked even harder to improve. And the slogan “My best is the least I can give” became the team’s motto for the provincial tournament. See NEPEAN KNIGHTS, page 42

New sign erected for Richmond Fair Special to the News

There’s a new permanent sign promoting the Richmond Fair along Perth Street in Richmond. Erected by the Richmond Agricultural Society, the oval sign, which is held aloft by two posts, features the Richmond Fair logo. This logo was designed by Heather Whitbread back in 1994 which was the 150th anniversary year for the Fair. The new sign is located immediately adjacent to the east side of the Richmond Curling Club parking lot, sitting between the Richmond Curling Club to the west and the Dining Hall to the east. Also to the east of the new sign is the historic stone cairn and historical plaques site which sits along Perth Street as well.

This new sign is electriﬁed and will be lit up as soon as a hydro service is extended and hooked up to the sign. This new sign is also going to feature a digital message board which will be placed just below the oval sign. This digital message board will be used to publicize happenings on the fairgrounds as well as community events. The fairgrounds are a busy place in the summer months, with horse shows, dog shows and other activities happening. This new digital message board will not be installed before this year’s annual Richmond Fair. This year’s Richmond Fair, which is the 171st Fair, will take place from Thursday, Sept. 17 to Sunday, Sept. 20.

RV’s at fairgrounds ‘Early bird’ draw in Fair raffle Special to the News

The Richmond fairgrounds has become an RV trailer park this week. And it’s not just any gathering of recreational vehicles (RV’s) but rather a Good Sam Club get-together. The Good Sam Club is the largest organization for RV owners in the world, with 1.5 million members in Canada and the United States who belong to affiliated local chapter clubs which host gatherings and rallies called “Samborees.” Good Sam Club RV owners started arriving at the Richmond fairgrounds last Sunday and Monday for the gathering. It is expected that as many as 150 RV’s will be attending this event which will be running through this coming weekend. The Richmond Agricultural Society is hosting a dinner for the group this coming Saturday, with about 200 people expected to attend. There will also be entertainment at the dinner. The Good Sam Club has already reserved the Richmond fairgrounds for a similar gathering in the year 2017. The Good Sam Club is committed to making RVing a safer and more rewarding experience for its members. Founded in 1966, Club members try to help fellow travellers, just like the Good Samaratan did in the famous parable in the Bible.

There are now about 1,500 Good Sam Club chapters which get together for RV campouts, good times and community service. The Good Sam Club offers RVers resources to make the most of the RV lifestyle including savings on RV insurance, roadside assistance, RV financing, RV extended warranties, travel medial insurance, health insurance and a credit card rewards program for RVers. There are over 2,100 affiliated Good Sam RV parks and campgrounds at which Club members save ten percent on the regular nightly RV site rate. Club members can also save on fuel at Pilot and Flying J Travel Centres and receive four issues of Motor Home or Trailer Life magazines. The Good Sam Club is known across North America as the “Face of RVing.” Art Rouse, a publisher of trailer and motorhome magazines, is credited with being the founder of the Good Sam Club. He and his two sons developed the various member benefits and RV-related services for which the Club is known. Good Sam Club is now owned by the Good Sam Enterprises which also owns Camping World, an American corporation specializing in selling parts and service for recreational vehicles and supplies for camping.

Coach Craig Bowditch saw this slogan as a bumper sticker while on the way to the provincial tournament and it was adopted as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motto for the event. In the provincial tournament, the Knights faced Brampton in their opening game and it proved to be a close one, with the Knights winning by the narrowest of margins, 4-3. This was not the case in the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second game of the tournament in which the Knights defeated Sarnia by an 8-0 score. This was the same score in the Knights third game victory over Simcoe. The Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth game of the tournament was against Milton, with the Knights winning by a 13-0 score. In the championship gold medal game, the Knights went up against the Brampton squad which proved to be the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; toughest competitor in the tournament. The Knights defeated

Brampton 4-2 to become the provincial girls midget â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? box lacrosse champions. The Knights did not have a goalie at the beginning of the season and so Hanna Durham stepped up to be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goalie. And what a provincial tournament she had, posting three shutouts and allowing only five goals in the tournament. The Knights scored 37 goals in the tournament. By the end of the provincial tournament weekend, the players all felt like â&#x20AC;&#x153;sisters.â&#x20AC;? And while the team had great offense and super defense in the tournament, the coaches attributed the tournament victory to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong bonding which kept it going and kept it staying positive throughout the tournament. The Knights team is now relishing not only the provincial championship with its banner, championship trophy and gold medals but also looking back on a season of memories, laughs, lots of sweat and probably a few tears. What a season!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew I wanted something more and decided to upgrade my high school marks, which werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best,â&#x20AC;? says Waignein. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always liked science and knew now was the time to go for it.â&#x20AC;? After a year of upgrading her high school marks with both traditional high school classes and distance education courses with TVOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent Learning Centre (ILC), she is ready to start school in September. Having the option to fit online courses with the ILC into her busy schedule is what she credits for her success. A resident of London, Ontario, Waignein is currently enrolled in Fanshawe College and will be studying general arts and science with the goal of becoming a medical radiation technologist. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a long road ahead and the field is really competitive, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I want to do,â&#x20AC;? says Waignein. When asked whether she thinks her story is inspirational, she used to shrug it off, but looking back, now sees how remarkable the journey has been and is happy if she can inspire others. newscanada.com

NC) Finding a career that you are devotedly passionate about doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always happen in high-school. Many discover their true passion after years of work in a field and strive to achieve their career goals in a new industry. What Danielle Waignein refers to as a mid-life crisis is, in fact, the pursuit of a life-long dream. In high school, Waignein held herself back, believing she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the smarts to follow her vision. After graduating, she worked as a hairstylist for a decade and picked up some courses here and there at her local community college, but always had a passion for medicine and science. After a cross-country move, raising a family, and other life obligations, she found herself working in a job that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a career, and dreaming of â&#x20AC;&#x153;something more cerebral.â&#x20AC;? One morning last year, she woke up, decided to make some changes, and never looked back. It started with a commitment to live a healthier lifestyle and was soon followed by a commitment to upgrade her marks over the next year, with the goal of getting into her desired college program.

KEEP ON LEARNING

Why doing your education online could work for you Save time and money, minimize disruptions in your life (NC) As the fall season sets in, education is on the minds of many Canadians. For those who are considering continuing their education, learning in the classroom isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always an option. Between work, family, and social commitments, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much free time. Learning must be flexible and dynamic. For many of us a popular alternative to in-class learning is distance education. Distance education can help students meet their educational goals while giving them the freedom to continue their life: 1. It is convenient: Online learning allows for flexibility. Students can learn anywhere at any time on a computer or tablet with internet access. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s picking up an extra credit, improving high school grades or studying new subjects to help facilitate a career change, learning can easily fit into an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule. TVOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Independent Learning Centre (ILC),

for example, offers accredited high school courses in a variety of subjects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from mathematics to the arts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helping adult students meet a variety of personal and professional goals. 2. It is affordable: With costs starting as low as $40 per course registration, picking up an extra credit doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to break the bank. Although education costs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t limited to tuition, online learning allows students to save on commuting, some learning materials (e.g. textbooks) and additional fees like childcare. 3. Students can learn at their own pace: Every student has a preference for how they like to learn; solo studying allows you to cater your learning to your individual needs, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a half hour at a time or three solid hours. In addition, interacting with teachers and students can be intimidating. Online communication with other students and teachers allows for more time to collect your thoughts and formulate questions. newscanada.com

KEEP ON LEARNING Is your home burglar proof for back to school? Here are some tips

(NC) Burglary can leave families feeling vulnerable and violated. According to security experts, by far, the most common threat to our home while we are back at work and school is burglary. Patrice De Luca, V.P. of Customer Care for ADT Canada, says the first step in burglary prevention is gaining an understanding of who commits these crimes and why.

“The majority of home and apartment burglaries occur during the daytime when most people are away at work or at school,” De Luca explained. “Burglaries also occur at night when there are obvious signs that residents are away.” Most home burglars are young males looking for things that are small, expensive, and can easily be converted to cash. Items like cash, jewelry, guns, watches, laptop computers, and

other small electronic devices are high on the list. Quick cash is needed for living expenses and drugs. Although home burglaries may seem random in occurrence, they actually involve a careful selection process “This selection process is simple,” De Luca added. “They choose an unoccupied home with the easiest access, the greatest amount of cover, and with the best escape routes.” What follows is a list of sug-

gestions from ADT, providing Protectron’s line of products, to minimize your risk by making your home unattractive to potential burglars. • The first step, according to De Luca, is to “harden the target” or make your home more difficult to enter. “Remember burglars will simply bypass your home if it requires too much effort or requires more skill and tools than they possess,” he says. Most burglars enter via R0013417375

the front, back, or garage doors. Burglars know to look inside your car for keys and other valuables so keep it locked, even inside your garage. Use high quality Grade-1 or Grade-2 locks on exterior doors to resist twisting, prying, and lock-picking attempts. • When on a long-term business trip, leave a car in your driveway or arrange for a neighbor to keep a car there and move it around from time to time. Have someone mow your lawn, rake leaves, or shovel snow and pick up your mail while you’re away. • Home security systems play a crucial role in a home security plan and are very effective, if used properly, especially when monitored 24-7 by ULC-listed monitoring centres. De Luca cautions that home security systems need to be properly installed and maintained to be most effective. He recommends your home

security system include a loud inside alarm, detectors at all exterior doors, and motion sensors in the master bedroom and main living areas. • For ultimate control and peace of mind while you’re at work, he recommends you look into the new fully interactive wireless security systems where you can arm and disarm your alarm, lock or unlock your front door, control lights and your home’s thermostat at the touch of your smartphone. You can even include interior and exterior cameras with interactive surveillance that enables parents to receive alerts to view the comings and goings of their children from school or cleaning staff in video or image format on their work computer or smartphone.

Teach college students how to make their money last

ary spending is where many students get into trouble. Set a weekly limit on certain types of spending like eating out, entertainment, and shopping. According to the RBC Student Finances Poll, 42 per cent of students wish that they knew how much all those little extras cost. • Track your purchases – Use your smartphone and find an online budget tool to note purchases and track spending. Review both each month to be sure you are not overspending and make any necessary adjustments. • Make your spending go further by finding the right credit card. Whether it’s a credit card that gives you cashback on everyday purchases or one that allows you to earn and redeem rewards points on for supplies – using the right credit card can help you manage your budget. More information on back-to-school finances is available at www.rbc.com/studentsolution, #RBCStudentAdvice on Twitter, or at any branch.

In fact, an RBC Student Finances Poll reveals that 71 per cent of respondents are worried that their savings will not cover all of their school expenses for the year. “With a full schedule of classes, studying, and exams, students have enough concerns before even considering their finances,” says Mandy Mail, director of student banking at RBC Royal Bank. “The best way to ensure that student funds last for the entire school year is to create a plan early on, and stick to it all year long.” Mandy offers these tips on how to make your money last: • Create a realistic budget – Determine how much money is available from all sources including loans, grants, and part-time and summer jobs. Set aside an amount for fixed costs such as tuition and rent, and establish a monthly budget for other expenses. The key to a successful budget is to make it realistic – if it is too strict it will be harder to stick to it. • Plan for social spending – Discretion-

However, it is often overlooked,â&#x20AC;? says Arnprior fire prevention/protection officer Cory Nicholas. As students prepare to move into shared or rented accommodations to attend college or university, parents, guardians and students themselves should take an active role in finding a safe place to liv, he recommends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is essential for caregivers and students to talk about fire and life safety. Whether returning to school or leaving home for the first time, a discussion about good fire safety practices can help to ensure this exciting time in a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life is not marred by a fire tragedy.â&#x20AC;? The fire deparment has issued the following list entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What every student should know to prevent fireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 1. Look While You Cook: Stay in the kitchen when cooking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially if using oil or high temperatures. If a pot catches fire, have a proper-fitting pot lid handy to slide over the pot and turn off the stove. Cooking requires constant attention. Distractions like televisions, cell phones, or computers can lead to a tragic cooking fire. 2. Candle With Care: If you use candles in your room or apartment, keep them away from anything that can burn and place them in a safe, sturdy holder with a glass shade or hurricane chimney. Place them where they cannot be knocked over and blow them out when leaving the room. 3. Keep An Eye On Excessive Drinkers: Alcohol is a common factor in many fire fatalities involving cooking and smoking. Be aware of roommates and friends who have been drinking excessively, especially if they are cooking or smoking. 4. Smoke Outside: Establish rules for smokers. If you permit smoking inside, use large, sturdy ashtrays that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easily tipped over. Ashtrays should be emptied into a metal container not the garbage can. Check around furniture cushions after people have been smoking,

especially if they have been drinking. 5. Use Electricity Wisely: Toasters, coffeemakers and microwaves should be plugged directly into an outlet. If you must use an extension cord, buy one that is the correct gauge for the appliance and has a CSA or ULC approval mark on the label. CSA or ULC approved power bars may be used for stereo equipment, computers and lights. 6. Clear the Clutter: Keep things that burn away from heat sources like stovetops, space heaters and electronic equipment. Tea towels and paper too close to burners can catch fire. Keep space heaters at least one metre away from bedding, furniture and curtains. 7. Working Smoke Alarms: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Law: Your room or apartment must have working smoke alarms. Test them monthly and notify the landlord immediately if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not working. Dead batteries must be replaced right away. Nuisance alarms can be avoided by making sure smoke alarms are not located too close to the kitchen or bathroom. Consider getting a smoke alarm with a hush feature. Smoke alarms should be checked after any extended absence such as Christmas break and reading week. Never tamper with or disable a smoke alarm. 8. Plan To Escape: Know two ways out of your room or apartment in case of fire. Identify all exits and make sure you can use them. If you live in a high-rise, familiarize yourself with the buildingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire safety plan. If you discover fire, call the fire department from a safe location outside. 9. Be Equipped: To stay safe, all students should put together a package that includes a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm, a battery powered lantern or flashlight and radio, extra batteries and a CSA or ULC approved power bar. 10. Learn More: For more information about fire safety in student accommodations, contact the Arnprior Fire Department.

Work together to keep kids healthy

(NC) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back-to-school time and for most parents, this brings concerns about keeping their kids healthy. Did you know that in Ontario, a dedicated group of registered nurses (RNs) work in Public Health specifically to focus on ways to keep our kids and the community in the best of health? Public health nurses are part of a network of RNs who provide highly skilled services and care. With their special training, these RNs work to provide a wide range of services and education from their public health units, and this includes work with our children on issues specific to them. Public health nurses point out that there is a strong connection between health and many environmental factors, so they teach kids about the practice of good health habits. In addition to running immunization clinics, offering counseling and sexual health programs for teenagers, public health nurses have exper-

tise when kids need help with speech, language, hearing or vision issues. Parents can access public health for assistance and counseling. Take a look, for example, at the Healthy Schools program which was initiated to ensure overall fitness, well-being and proper nutrition. By working with whole communities, public health nurses educate and counsel patients, monitor health trends and identify health factors specific to that location. They use their expertise to design and deliver health education campaigns and implement disease-prevention and screening activities to keep kids healthy. So as children go back to class, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to know there are skilled and educated health advocates on our side. More information is available at www.ona. org/RNs. newscanada.com

But the coming of fall also brings with it a lot of anticipation and happiness because of some of the events that will be happening such as the fall fairs. And among these happy happenings are fall suppers at local churches. One of these annual fall suppers is happening on Saturday, Sept. 26 as the Munster United Church hosts its annual fall supper, running from 4:30 p.m. to

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories “That girl has the patience of Job,” Mother said. She said it often enough of my sister Audrey, and I had no idea who Job was, that I was determined to find out what the word patience meant. If Audrey had an abundance of it, maybe I could claim to have it too, since we were sisters, and it seemed to be something of great value. And so one day, just before school was let out for the summer, I asked Miss Crosby if she would look up the word “patience” in the big black dictionary that sat on the corner of her desk. She read me the description, which had big words like “tolerance” and “endurance” in it. I was still none the wiser, and I decided Job was someone Mother knew in Renfrew, because there certainly was nobody out in Northcote by the name of Job. At any rate, my older sister Audrey had the same trait as this fellow Job. And then one day, a discussion around the supper table sent me into a panic, and I couldn’t even eat my piece of raspberry pie, which was my favourite.   Audrey was finished at the Northcote School, and like so many girls from the farms around, that meant going off to Renfrew and doing housework for the rich people.

Meaning of patience

I couldn’t stop the tears from rolling down my face right onto the pie in front of me. Audrey put her arm around my shoulders and told me that day was a long way off, and I wasn’t to fret about it. She was needed on the farm, she said, and that’s where she would be staying. I asked her to “promise and hope to die,” which was right up there in importance with asking God for a special favour. She again assured me she would be right at home for a long time to come. After supper, and after the kitchen had been redded up, I went out to the grape arbour and sat in the big two-seater swing and started to think about all the things I would miss if my beloved sister Audrey ever left me. Who would sing to me at night when we went to bed? Whose arm would reach out across the bed roll, and keep me safe when the whippoorwills sang their eerie songs when it was black as pitch outside, and I was terrified they would get in the house? And who would sit with me in the long grass and pull dandelion stems, then split them and roll them down into tight curls, and make up stories about how the women of long, long ago got the idea of curling their hair from the dandelions?

tongues, and wore different clothes. And when I would say, “Tell me another one Audrey,” she would simply let out a long sigh and begin another story. And wasn’t it Audrey, who would take the book I had chosen from the Renfrew Library, with big words I couldn’t read, and sit with me at the kitchen table before bedtime, and read to me when I knew she would much rather be reading her own book? And wasn’t it Audrey, even knowing I had little talent, who spent hours trying to teach me how to make French knots, and daisies on the end of flour bag tea towels?  And she would praise me and say how clever I was. As I sat in the swing that day, seeing in my mind’s eye, all the things my sister Audrey did for me, and the hours she spent with me, I knew then what mother meant when she said, “That girl has the patience of Job.” Audrey certainly, as far as I was concerned, had patience. Sadly, I never did find out who that guy Job was.

And I thought of the many times Audrey and I stretched out on the grass on a summer’s day when the sky was full of soft white clouds. And we would see dogs, fierce lions, and old men’s faces, as the clouds shifted taking on new shapes as the gentle wind pushed them into different forms. And Audrey would make up stories about the things we read in the clouds, and often I would doze off, filled with a fierce love of a sister who found time to spend with a much younger sister when there were other things she would much rather be doing. It was Audrey who defied anyone at the Northcote School to pick on me; even bad Marguirite got to know what it was like to be on the receiving end of a tongue lashing if she made fun of my hand-me-down clothes or my long red ringlets. Wasn’t it Audrey who, when I asked, would sit with me in the very swing I was in at that moment, and tell me imaginary stories of far off lands, and people who spoke in different

RVA and Richmond Walking Club Special to the New

The Richmond Village Association (RVA) has agreed to assume management responsibilities for the Richmond Walking Club from Ottawa Public Health effective immediately. The Richmond Walking Club has been in existence since the 1990’s, holding its activities indoors in the upper hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 12 noon from Sept. 22 through late May. The program will continue to be led by its current dedicated volunteers. Participation in the Richmond Walking Club is free to everyone. For more information about the Richmond Walking Club, please contact Coralie Bartley at 613-838-5328 or at Coralie.bartley@gmail.com . The Richmond Walking Club, as well as other walking clubs in Greely, Manotick, Osgoode, Vernon and Stittsville, have operated with the facilitation of Ottawa Public Health since before the amalgamation which created the city of Ottawa in 2001. The role of Ottawa Public Health, as part of its Healthy Eating Active Living Strategy, was to promote a rural walking club culture. Now Ottawa Public Health wants to transition the stewardship of these rural walking clubs to their respective communities. The beneﬁts of having such a walking group under a community association umbrella include community ownership and autonomy, the strengthening and sustaining of community link-

ages and the improved health and well being of rural residents. Ottawa Public Health is assisting in the transition process and will continue to be accessible to the walking groups for health promotion purposes. Under the new arrangement, the Richmond Village Association (RVA) will be responsible to arrange the hall booking, either directly or through the designated volunteer leaders of the group. The Richmond Walking Club will fall under the umbrella of the RVA and will thus be covered under the RVA’s liability insurance which is supplied at no cost by the city. The promotion and functioning of the program will also be arranged by the RVA. The city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department will continue to support rural walking clubs like the Richmond Walking Club by providing community space free of charge for the program. Ottawa Public Health will continue to be a resource for the Richmond Walking Club regarding health promotion. Rural walking clubs such as the Richmond Walking Club have been in existence since the 1990’s through special funding. In the past, Ottawa Public Health supported the walking club through booking of the hall, volunteer recruitment support and promotion of the club. The halls were booked at no cost due to the grandfathered partnership and understanding from the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department. Community volunteers ran the day-to-day operations of the walking club.

Attractions at 2015 Fair John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A heavy horse pull is a new attraction at the upcoming Richmond Fair. It will be held on Saturday evening, Sept. 19 at 6:30 p.m. with $3,000 in prize money up for grabs. There will be a light class followed by a heavy class. Ottawa Valley Horse Drawing Association rules will prevail for the event. Back at the Fair this year will be a slow tractor race which will take place on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 1 p.m. in the antique area on the fairgrounds. The outdoor stage at the fairgrounds is going to be a busy spot at this year’s Fair with more entertainment taking place there than ever before. There will be entertainment for youth on this outdoor stage starting at 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 18. On Saturday, Sept. 19, there will be family entertainment on the outdoor stage starting at 12 noon. There will also be more family entertainment on the outdoor stage starting at 6 p.m. On Sunday, Sept. 20, the outdoor stage will be the home of the Fair’s Rise 2 Fame Youth Talent Search competition. This year a tent is being erected at the outdoor stage area to provide shelter if it rains or to provide shade if it is sunny. In

addition, the Fair has ten new picnic tables which will be set up in this tented area. So, it is going to be a great spot to enjoy the ongoing entertainment taking place on the outdoor stage this year. The Rise 2 Fame Youth Talent Search competition is offering $1,000 in prize money in total. In the junior (age 6-12 years) category, ﬁrst prize is $175, second prize is $100 and third prize is $50. In the youth (age 13-21 years) category, ﬁrst prize is $350, second prize is $200 and third prize is $125. In addition, the winners of this competition will have the opportunity to perform at the Western Fair in London, ON. Already, as of last week, 30 competitors had entered this competition. Of course, one of the highlights of the Richmond Fair is always the demolition derby which goes ahead rain or shine. Again this year it will be held at 7 p.m. on the Friday night, Sept. 18. The annual Richmond Fair Parade takes place on Saturday, Sept. 19, starting at 11 a.m. from South Carleton High School and proceeding along McBean Street to Perth Street and then heading east on Perth Street before dispersing at Colonel Murray Street. Another special attraction at this year’s Fair will be the lawn tractor pull which will take place at 7 p.m. on the opening night of the Fair, Thursday, Sept. 17.

flyers. coupons. deals. savings tips.

Five ALC Letter Awards were presented at the 2015 grade eight school leaving ceremony at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville on Wednesday, June 24. These ALC Letter Awards are considered among the most prestigious honours given at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. These ALC Letter Awards are presented to students who have consistently made positive contributions to the school in the areas of athletics, citizenship and academics. These students who receive the ALC Letter Awards are enthusiastic participants in school activities throughout the year and they have been looked to for leadership by students and adults in the school community. The five recipients of ALC Letter Awards for 2015 were Jessica Huynh, Jana Dowds, James Woods, Jenna Gervais and Mackenzie Nicholson. These ALC Letter Awards were among a number of individual awards presented at the school’s grade eight school leaving ceremony. The Ontario Principal’s Council Principal’s Award for Student Leadership was presented to Tori Prout. This award goes to a student who has been looked to by both students and staff members for leadership and direction. The Goulbourn Kiwanis Citizenship Award was presented to Jenna Gervais. This award provided by the Goulbourn Kiwanis Club goes to a student who has exhibited the qualities associated with good citizenship. The Norm Cooksey Athletics Award, named after a former Carleton Board of Education

trustee, goes to one male student and one female student who have participated in a variety of extra curricular sports and also have taken leadership roles in the school’s physical education programs. The Norm Cooksey Athletics Award was presented to James Woods and Jenna Gervais. The Band Award is presented to a student who has consistently shown dedication, leadership and effort during the school year, contributing to the band program and its members. The Band Award was presented to Emily Greencorn. The Stephanie Hamilton-Donegan Friendship Award is presented annually to a student who is seen by their peers to be a good friend and one who is always there when needed. The recipient is considered trustworthy and is a student who makes worthwhile suggestions. This award is selected by a volte of all of the grade eight students. This year’s recipient of the Stephanie Hamilton-Donegan Friendship Award is Jessica Huynh. The Special Recognition Award goes to a student who deserves recognition but who does not fit into the criteria for the “typical” award categories. Recipients of Special Recognition Awards this year were Devin Neumann and Emma Fitzpatrick. Valedictorian for the Class of 2015 at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School was Jessica Huynh. Student MC’s who hosted the school leaving ceremony were James Woods and Mackenzie Nicholson.
