Colonel G.T. Burke’s medal donated to Goulbourn Museum

Inside NEWS

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Street along the southeast boundary of Stittsville. These information panels dealt with such topics as existing physical conditions of the site, transportation alternatives, sanitary sewer servicing options, pumping station and forcemain options, grading and stormwater servicing and watermain servicing.

News - Medals are coming home to the Goulbourn Museum. Last week, just days after the Goulbourn Museum had received community financial support to allow for the purchase of the five war medals from two world wars of Clarence Evelyn Rielly of Richmond in an eBay auction, the Museum received the donation of a medal related to the War of 1812 from the family of Colonel George Thew Burke who was the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement from 1818 to 1822 and then went on to hold further distinguished public positions in the area. The donation consists of Col. Burke’s Medal of Recognition for service in the War of 1812’s Battle of Chateauguay. The decoration, which was issued in 1848, is accompanied by a letter written by Col. Burke’s daughter Margaret Jane in 1889. “It is such an honour for the Museum to be entrusted with Col. Burke’s medal,” said Kathryn Jamieson, curator-manager of the Goulbourn Museum. She said that the medal would be included in the Museum’s current display about the 100th Regiment of Foot later this year so that the community could view it. The 100th Regiment of Foot, which fought in the War of 1812, was the home regiment for many of the disbanded soldiers who became the first settlers in Richmond and Goulbourn in 1818. “We feel privileged to have the responsibility of preserving this piece of history for future generations,” curator-manager Jamieson said. The medal and accompanying letter were donated by siblings M. Elizabeth Baylis and J. Scott Baylis of Ottawa who are direct descendants of Col. Burke. These newest artefacts will join other Col. Burke artefacts in the Museum’s collections. These include a sword bayonet, snuff box and regimental spoon, donated by another branch of the Burke family. There is also a Bible which belonged to Elizabeth Scott, believed to be a Burke great-granddaughter.

Labour Day bake sales being held at three locations John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Last Labour Day, seven young friends, aged 12 to 15, raised $506.82 for the Humane Society with afternoon bake sales at three locations in Stittsville. Well, these young people, with an additional two friends, are back this year, ready to do the same thing and hopefully raise just as much or even more for the Humane Society. Those involved in this bake sale fundraising initiative this year are Caroline Frost, Rebecca Frost, Rochelle Moore, Shanice Baird, Justin

Paoloni, Jasmine Paoloni, Shannon Wilvers, Erin Husband and Jaidan Stokill. They will be stationed at three locations around Stittsville this coming Monday, Labour Day, Sept. 2 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., selling a variety of baked goods as well as lemonade. The three locations where these bake sales will be happening are Bryanston Gate Park, Paul Lindsay Park in Amberwood and the dog walking park on Abbott Street near its intersection with Granite Ridge Drive. “Everything is 100 percent home made,” Caroline Frost says about the baked goods that are being made by the young friends and that

will be on sale. These will include cookies, cupcakes, banana bread and more. There will even be a raffle for a cake. All of the funds raised through these Labour Day bake sales will be going to the Humane Society, an organization that is near and dear to the heart of Caroline Frost who first began Labour Day fundraising for the Humane Society five years ago, starting with a lemonade stand and a few baked goods. Her first such effort raised about $20. The funds raised grew to about $50 the next year and then two years ago, when more of her friends got involved and an additional venue *

was used, almost $150 was raised for the Humane Society. Then came last year’s Labour Day effort, with three bake sale sites in the community and enhanced planning, that generated the $506.82 that was raised. The youth hope that this year’s Labour Day bake sales will raise just as much or even exceed last year’s total, all of the funds going to the Humane Society. One of the reasons that Caroline Frost is such a supporter of the Humane Society is because her dog, Farley, a golden retriever who is now 11 years old, came from the Humane Society when only eight months old.

Guiding used uniform sale Special to the News

News - It’s recycling and bargain basement shopping at the same time. If you have a daughter who will be beginning in any branch of Guiding this fall or who is moving up from one branch to another, then you will want to know about the upcoming used uniform sale that will be happening in Stittsville. Additionally, if you have a daughter who has outgrown a Guiding uniform, then you too will want to know about this opportunity to sell the uniform.

A used uniform sale is being held on Saturday, Sept. 7 from noon to 3 p.m. in the upstairs community room at Stittsville Sobeys at the Stittsville Corners shopping area at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. There will be uniforms for all branches of Guiding available – Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Rangers and even Guiders (leaders). And what’s best, these used uniforms, although very gently used, will have price tags around 60 percent off the store

price for new ones. These will be the new uniforms which were introduced two years ago. Any of the older uniforms prior to that will be going for five dollars. So, if you want to purchase a Guiding uniform at a good price while helping to recycle materials, then plan to attend this used uniform sale. And if you have a Guiding uniform of some sort that you would like to sell at this sale (you get the money if it sells), you should contact Angela Wallace via email at guider. angie@gmail.com to make arrangements for pickup or drop-off of the uniform.

Medal given for service in the War of 1812 Continued from page 1

Chateauguay, were commemorated by a special clasp worn on the ribbon of the medal.� It goes on to say: “In 1847 it was decided to award medals to all surviving officers and soldiers who had participated in the battles of the Napoleonic period. It was also decided to issue claps for each engagement that had been recognized by the previous award of an Army Gold Medal. A total of twenty-nine clasps were authorized including those for Chateauguay and Crysler’s Farm. The medals and the relevant clasps were distributed to those eligible veterans who made application (and many did not bother) and approximately nine hundred medals

In Donald E. Graves’ book “Field of Glory� about the War of 1812 battles in the St. Lawrence River campaign, an appendix written by Stephen Pallas entitled “The Crysler’s Farm and Chateauguay Medals and Recipients� tells about this medal which the Goulbourn Museum has received and its related Chateauguay clasp. It states (page 366): “The Military General Service Medal was instituted in 1847 for all surviving officers and soldiers who had participated in the Napoleonic Wars. Twenty-nine engagements, including Crysler’s Farm and

were distributed to veterans of the fighting in Canada during the War of 1812.� The appendix goes on to list those who had received the clasp for Chateuguay or Crysler’s Farm. Heading the list for Chateauguay under British Army, Staff is “Bourke, Major George Thew (also with clasp Egypt).� A resume of Col. Burke’s story was included in the Goulbourn Museum’s recent publication “Goulbourn’s Top 12 of 1812,� produced for the Museum’s celebration event for the War of 1812 held last June. Col. Burke became a member of the 100th Prince

Regent’s Country of Dublin Regiment of Foot in Ireland in 1804, serving as its recruiting officer. He served with Major General Isaac Brock in 1812 at the Battle of Queenston Heights and in May 1813 led grenadiers in a raid on the Americans’ Sackets Harbor. He was promoted and served as a major of brigade at the Battle of Chateauguay in Oct. 1813 as well as at the Battle of Plattsburg in 1814. He famously avoided probable death when the snuff box which he carried with him in the breast pocket of his jacket prevented a musket ball from doing more damage than just damaging his uniform.

But when it comes right down to the person who made the greatest contribution to the settlement of the area and could be considered the most prominent and influential public servant in this area in the first half of the 19th century, one individual stands out. That person is Colonel George Thew Burke. While his contributions to the settlement of Richmond and the surrounding areas was immense through his role as superintendent of the military settlement of Richmond from 1818 to 1822, his ongoing role as the first land registrar for Carleton County gave him a continuing influence that lasted until his death in 1854. As the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement, he was responsible for the allocation of land grants to the earliest settlers in Goulbourn, Beckwith, Huntley and Fitzroy townships, along with some al-

locations in both Nepean and Rideau townships. It was under his leadership that the village of Richmond was surveyed and laid out prior to the initial arrival of settlers in 1818. As well as being the superintendent of the military settlement for four years, until it was removed from military control, Colonel Burke also filled the roles of magistrate and postmaster. As the acknowledged leader of the community, he commanded the local militia in Richmond. He also served as a school trustee for the early school which was established in Richmond. Colonel Burke was the first member of the provincial Legislature for Carleton County, serving two terms in a period from 1821 to 1828. It was during this time that the final plans and authorizations for the soonto-be-built Rideau Canal were instigated. Colonel Burke, who was born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1776, had a distinguished military career prior to his appointment as the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818. He entered the British army

At the end of the War of 1812 in North America, Burke was sent overseas to serve on the Duke of Wellington’s general staff in the battle against Napoleon at Waterloo in 1815. Returning to North America, he eventually became the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818 and a colonel in the First Carleton militia. He was elected as the representative for Carleton in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and was appointed as the first land registrar for Carleton County. He died in 1854 at the age of 78 in Bytown and is buried in St. Philip’s Catholic cemetery in Richmond.

in 1798, joining the Irish Fencibles. He went on to serve in Egypt and then was used as a recruiter in his native Ireland, an indication of his leadership skills even as a young officer. In this recruiting role, he was instrumental in raising the 100th Regiment of Foot which later became the 99th Regiment when the army’s size was reduced. It was this regiment which provided many of the early settlers in the Richmond/Goulbourn area. The young then-Captain Burke went on to serve in Spain and later, after the War of 1812, on the Duke of Wellington’s staff at the 1815 Battle of Waterloo. In the War of 1812 which was fought between the British and the United States in North America, he fought at Queenston Heights under General Isaac Brock and took part in the hard fought battles of Sackett’s Harbour and Chateauguay. At the battle of Sackett’s Harbour in May, 1813, the war documents outline the following action by Captain Burke: “The advance was led by the Grenadiers of the 100th Regiment (under the command of Captain Burke) with undaunted gallantry, which no obstacle could arrest. ‌ Captain Burke availed himself of the ample field afforded him in leading the advance to display the intrepidity of British

This is Colonel George Thew Burke’s medal for his service in the War of 1812 that has been donated to the Goulbourn Museum. Grenadiers‌â€? Following the War of 1812, Colonel Burke was appointed to the posts of Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General and also Brigade Major at Quebec where the 100th Regiment was posted following the war. He did retire on half pay but then was selected by Sir John Sherbrooke, who was Governor and Command-in-Chief in Canada at the time, to become the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement. His active military service resulted in his being awarded two medals and clasps. Indeed, an obituary written in the Ottawa Citizen in February, 1854 at the time of his death describes Colonel Burke and his military service as follows: “Colonel Burke was always characterized by his mild and unassuming manners, and during his military career was beloved by his brother officers for his distinguished bravery and coolness on the field of battle.â€? As the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement, Colonel Burke was a constant companion of the Duke of Richmond during his visit to the settlement in August, 1819. Colonel Burke was 78 years old at the time of his death. See COLONEL, page 5

Jessie Delahunt dies Special to the News

News - Jessie Delahunt, who died at the age of 93 at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Sunday, Aug. 18 after a brief illness, was at one time Stittsville’s best known baker. She was self-taught, baking as a wife and mother before venturing into the business. She first took her baking to MacDougall’s Sales and Ser-

vice, a longtime appliance and furniture business on Stittsville Main Street where the baking was displayed on stove tops and other appliances as something of an advertising gimmick. But the success of the baking soon led to Mrs. Delahunt setting up a bake shop in the family’s log house on Carp Road. She would get up at

two in the morning to begin her baking and would still be doing it at 10 at night. She did this for ten years, from 1962 to 1972, before the long hours, heavy workload and the physical toil, especially on her legs from constant standing, caught up with her and she closed the shop that was known as the Old Log House Bake Shop in 1972. The following poem entitled “Log House Bake Shop Closing” appeared in The

Stittsville News at the time to announce the closing: This little log house is closing its doors, This little old bakery will be no more, The baker’s legs are tired and sore, And those long wearing hours no longer a chore. It’s been pleasant I know, I close with regret, The wonderful people I’ve known and I’ve met, I’ll never forger them and I’ll always recall, My little old bake shop, sore feet and all. Mrs. Delahunt, who was born Jessie Agnes Buck on Feb. 27, 1920 on the prairies where her pioneer parents lived in a mud house, and her husband Charles arrived in Stittsville in 1951, settling in the log house on Carp Road near Hazeldean Road that would later also house her bake shop and that recently was the home of St. Elmo’s Fire, a craft and arts store. Mr. and Mrs. Delahunt had six children. In recent years, she had done some travelling with family including trips to England and Disneyland. She even attended a garden party at 24 Sussex Drive where she met then-Prime Minister Jean Chretien. Besides being known as the one-time home of the Old Log

Jessie Delahunt House Bake Shop, the longtime Delahunt home on Carp Road is also known as a home with a ghost. The building’s ghostly heritage has been documented in the book “Ghosts of Goulbourn” written by former Stittsville resident Bernard Shaw and first published in 2004. The book, which tells 17 tales of ghosts in the Goulbourn area, includes a chapter on “The Mischievous Ghost” which deals with the ghostly happenings experienced at the Delahunt log house on the Carp Road. Mrs. Delahunt was familiar with the ghost through numerous ghostly happenings at the house when the Delahunt family lived there. When Mrs. Delahunt was outside and no one was in the house, a water tap inside would turn on or a toilet would flush. Hearing

footsteps when no one else was in the house or hearing a voice, also when no one was home, were further evidence of the ghost’s presence. Mrs. Delahunt even had a hand gently touch her shoulder when going to sleep, although alone in the house at the time. Mrs. Delahunt had resided at the Stittsville Villa Seniors Community by Revera on Stittsville Main Street in recent years. She was predeceased by her husband Charles in 1996 as well as by her brothers Bill, Jack and Jim. She is survived by her sisters Jean (Harrison) and Bessie (Robarts) as well as by her six children, Reg (Cathy), Jim, Jean Cloutier (John), Maggie Botelho (Dennis), Chuck (Joanne) and Al (Mary). She is also survived by 17 grandchildren and 20 great-grandchildren. A memorial service for Mrs. Delahunt was held in the chapel of the Carp Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes in Carp on Thursday, Aug. 22. Those wishing to make an in memoriam donation are asked to consider the Alzheimer’s Society. The family wishes to thank the Stittsville Villa Retirement Home, the Peter D. Clark Long-Term Care Home and the Queensway Carleton Hospital for the loving care which they provided to Jessie.

Questions arise from demonstration plan Continued from page 1

But the panel which attracted the most attention and generated virtually all of the questions in a one-hour question and answer session at the meeting was the one that showed a concept demonstration plan showing a proposed street layout for the development site as well as the location of low density housing, medium density housing, high density housing, parkland and even a commercial site at the corner of Fernbank Road and Shea Road. The total number of housing units in this plan is 1,541 units, broken down as 578 low density, 541 medium density (townhomes) and 422 high density. It was up to Murray Chown, a senior planner for Novatech Engineering Consultants Ltd., the firm that is heading this development initiative, to respond to the more than 25 questions which were directed his way from the crowd of over 100 who attended this public meeting. In his comments before opening the meeting up to questions, Mr. Chown noted that the area now being proposed for development was added to the city of Ottawa’s urban boundary area back in 2009 but that Ontario Municipal Board appeals delayed any action until last August. This is why the planning for the area, which began last spring, is only coming forward now. He said that the meeting was being held to present options for the servicing and transportation strategies for the site and to begin discussion about a concept plan for development of the lands. Mr. Chown said that one principle of the demonstration/concept plan was that all existing housing on the south side of Hartsmere Drive will back onto similar low density hous-

ing in the new area. In addition, there will be low density housing with extra deep lots on the south side of the new area adjacent to existing homes in the existing Woodside Acres estate lot development to the south. The demonstration plan also shows high density residential development along Stittsville Main Street at the extreme west end of the site as well as similar high density residential development in the extreme southeast area of the site along Shea Road and the hydro corridor which goes through the east end of the site. Mr. Chown made a point that high density in the context of this development means three to four storey buildings with multiple units and not what would be termed high rise development. He said that the high density areas had to be included in the development in order for the plan to achieve the city of Ottawa’s goal of 34 units per hectare in new residential development areas. He said that this density of housing cannot be achieved for this area with just singles, semis and townhomes. The only way to achieve the city’s density requirement is to add a component of high density, Mr. Chown said. He said that the high density pods had been located on the outer edges of the development area. Mr. Chown emphasized that there had been no formal applications for development yet made to the city of Ottawa as comments and input from this public meeting would help form any such applications. He said that development applications will probably be submitted to the city in the early

fall, with the subdivision process taking at least six months. With subsequent detailed engineering and registration of any approved subdivision, it would be late next summer or next fall at the earliest before any construction activity would be taking place on the site. Many of the questions revolved around traffic including potential OC Transpo buses on Hartsmere Drive which is already a busy street due to the presence of Westwind Public School; proposed street accesses from the new development area not only onto Stittsville Main Street, Shea Road and Fernbank Road but also links to Hartsmere Drive and Poplarwood Avenue in Woodside Acres; and the impact of any development on the wells of the estate lot homes in the Woodside Acres subdivision immediately south of the site. Mr. Chown said that a traffic study will be looking at the traffic conditions on Hartsmere Drive and its ability to take more traffic. He stated that if the new development “works” without having the street connections to Hartsmere Drive and no one wants such links, then such street connections would be eliminated. But he cautioned that if, for example, the Ottawa Fire Services feels that it needs such street connections to provide optimum service to the area, he would not go against such a desire. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, who was in attendance at the meeting, commented that the proposed street connection to Poplarwood Avenue is a negative in his view as it would result in constant speeding along the straight Poplarwood Avenue in the Woodside Acres subdivision.

With regard to concerns expressed about the adverse impact that development of this area might have on the wells of the adjacent Woodside Acres estate lot subdivision to the south, Mr. Chown said that a hydrogeological study is part of the development process. He said that nothing can be guaranteed but said that if any wells are adversely impacted by the new development, it will be the responsibility of the developer to rectify the situation. He said that an inventory of existing wells including quality and quantity of water will be done before development begins. A binding agreement between the developer and the city will ensure that if the quality or quantity of water in a well goes down as a result of the development, then the developer will have to remedy the situation. In response to suggestions that the high density areas all be located near Shea Road rather than any along Stittsville Main Street, Mr. Chown said that some thought would be given to the suggestions. He also admitted that there are some butternut trees, a protected species, on the site. He indicated that compensation would have to be provided by the developer to facilitate their removal from the site. It was pointed out by city councillor Scott Moffatt at the meeting that this development area, although within the city’s new urban boundary, is still a part of his Rideau-Goulbourn ward which is meant to be a totally rural ward. He said that the area would be moved to the Stittsville ward in two years’ time but that in the meantime, he and Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri will be working as a team with regard to this development.

Goose patrol not worth cost

N

o one likes stepping in poop. From the canine variety to the stuff left behind by the occasional horse, it’s something we’ve tried as a society to banish from our cities. But sometimes these efforts go too far, especially when it costs $30,000, which is what the city is paying a man with a remote-control helicopter to scare off the geese littering the Petrie Island beaches with poop. It’s understandable for the city to attempt to keep its beaches clean. The goose poop at Petrie Island typically forces the closure of the beach a few times a year. Birds have also been a problem in the past at the other beaches too. But $30,000? For a four-month contract to scare away animals that are simply doing what birds do? It’s one thing to take extreme measures in order to protect people from harm. If bears were roaming the streets, $30,000 to keep them away might seem reasonable. Paying that sum to an individual to work six days a week flying what amounts to a toy for big boys around scaring off the geese – and those pesky seagulls, too – is simply excessive. There’s also no guarantee the geese won’t come back. If the flocks return, do we then just ante up once more next summer and watch as the new beach

patrol becomes a familiar facet of urban living? There are other measures available, ones that have been used with varying degrees of success. Britannia Park has seen a transparent net installed above the beach and swimming area to ward off seagulls in the past. It’s unlikely this cost quite as much, it is reusable and works 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If having someone head out to the beach to scare off the birds is what’s needed, the city has more than enough workers on the payroll who could head over with a gas-powered leaf blower a couple of times per day to spook the geese. All of this avoids taking any consideration of whether the geese should be scared off in the first place. Wild animals share our city with us. Every once in a while, a moose will run down a suburban street or a pedestrian will be cornered by an ornery turkey, but neither of these problems warranted a five-figure solution. There are plenty of other sources of E. coli, too. Storm runoff from sewers and farms contribute far more to contaminated beaches than a flock of geese ever would. While the approach is novel, and “hexacopters� might have some civic use down the road, the city should be finding a better use for scarce tax dollars.

Elmore Leonard and the end of summer reading

T

he summer reading season is coming to a close. That’s a shame because when we read in the summer we do real reading. We don’t just pick up the book on the bedside table and read five pages before we go to sleep, the last two of which we have to read again the next day. What we do in vacation reading is spend lots of time with the book, so we get right into it. We carry it around and we can’t wait to get back to it. It forms part of the cottage conversation. What’s that book? What’s it about? Can I borrow it when you finish? There are books that are written specifically for summer reading, of course, so-called beach books. Some of them are pretty good. Others are the literary equivalent of summer movies – lots of empty action and contrived romances. Oddly, the best place to find beach books is at airports, but no one calls them airport books. But there are other books, such as crime novels and spy thrillers, that have some literary credibility when they are well done. Anything by John le CarrÊ would fit into that category, as would the mysteries of Henning Mankell and Ian Rankin and the crime fiction of Elmore Leonard, who died last week after

My pattern, perfected over the ages, has been to alternate the heavier, more literary stuff with a Rankin or something about music or sports. There’s what I think of as a Presbyterian quality to this: you have to finish something that’s good for you before you can move on to the stuff you really like. This summer I was lugging around the late David Foster Wallace’s massive novel Infinite Jest. It is 1,079 pages long, with about 100 pages of footnotes that you need to read.

finite Jest puts me in mind of a John Coltrane solo – it’s intense, creative and it goes on and on. No objection to that, but every once in a while you have to take a break. I’m about halfway through Infinite Jest, having already interrupted it once with another novel and I think my next interruption will be Elmore Leonard’s latest, and last, novel which I’ve been saving for just such an occasion. Leonard’s novels – some of his Ottawa fans call them “Elmores� – have a similar quality to The Sopranos television series: not that they are about organized crime, but that their main characters are not master criminals, but colourful low-life individuals, bumbling through life on the dark side. There is violence in an Elmore, to be sure, but also a lot of humour and incredibly funny dialogue. This is no accident. Leonard followed strict rules for writing, which he shared with readers in 2001. The most important one: “Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.� Pretty smart. That would include things like prologues, descriptions of the weather, the scenery and the appearances of characters – since the reader will develop his own mental picture of what a character looks like from what the character does and says.

Leonard would have us avoid verbs other than “said� in describing dialogue, as well as adverbs to modify “said� – no on exclaims excitedly in an Elmore. And the word “suddenly� never appears, because if something happens suddenly the reader should know it anyway. Leonard sums up his rules this way: “If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.� Of course, there are writers who can get away with breaking any of his rules. There are also writers who shouldn’t try. We read them in the summer and can’t wait to get back to an Elmore.

Back-to-school vendors, fashion shows John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Back-to-school time is in full swing these days. And one of the places where it was really swinging was the Stittsville Legion Hall in Stittsville last Sunday, Aug. 25 where a four hour back-to-school show and sale was held.

The Legion Hall was wall-to-wall with vendors, all associated with the back-toschool theme of the event. There was information about Kindermusik, an introductory program of music and child development for children up to age seven that is offered at several city of Ottawa locations including in Kanata; Stittsville’s Merrily We Go PreSchool was there, along with Stittsville’s

And this was not all – Natalie Barnes had a display of the aids for special needs children which her Special Finds business handles. And Jennifer Lea Laale, founder and director of Be Your Best Confidence Building Performing Arts School, was there to chat with visitors and browsers about this new program that she is bring to Stittsville this fall. Dandelion Kids, a children’s consignment and fashion shop in Stittsville, was also on hand at the event and indeed it was Dandelion Kids which provided a highlight of the event, namely two children’s fashion shows, one at 11 a.m. and a second at 1 p.m. Youngsters modeled their outfits on the Legion Hall stage as Sandra Edwards of Dandelion Kids served as the commentator, telling the features of the clothing that the children were modeling. Ms. Edwards’ script had been prepared by Sarah Brown, an 11 year old who had voluntarily helped out at Dandelion Kids during the previous week as the shop prepared for this back-to-school show and sale. There was also a silent auction held in conjunction with this back-to-school show and sale. The back-to-school show and sale ran from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Legion Hall last Sunday, Aug. 25.

ing from a childhood cancer. She told how her son Bryce and the family had to spend Christmas at CHEO as Bryce underwent treatment and what gave them all a huge emotional boost at that time was the gifts which Bryce and indeed all of the family received at the hospital. Among those responsible for providing these gifts was Kim Carswell and this was how Dev Jude came to be aware of the Carswell family and the story of Tori Carswell’s long battle with cancer, the way the community rallied behind her and how the Carswell family was now paying it all forward, helping others. The Christmas of 2011 also saw Bryce and the Jude family at the hospital and once again there were more gifts from Kim Carswell and other moms who knew what the Jude family was going through. And then when the Bryce and the Jude family had to go to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for Bryce’s stem cell transplant, it was a gift package and cheque from Tori’s Helping Hand and Candlelighters which again lifted their spirits and gave them hope. The Jude family ended up spending six months in Toronto but continued to receive support from Tori’s Helping Hand and Candlelighters – support like paying for the hospital parking for six months. And as it turned out, Tori and Bryce both attended school at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville, although at different

times. In fact, after Bryce returned from Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, he received the Tori Carswell Award at the school as a student showing courage in the face of adversity. Unfortunately, it was only days after this that Bryce relapsed due to neurological side effects from his cancer treatments and passed away on Sept. 7, 2012. His mother Dev Jude told those at this year’s Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament dinner that the emotional and ďŹ nancial assistance which her family received from Tori’s Helping Hand and Candlelighters was so generous and so appreciated, noting that the support continued through all three years of Bryce’s battle with cancer. She said that the funds raised by the Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament have gone to help families like hers who don’t ever expect to be cancer ďŹ ghting families but end up with such a battle on their hands. A prolonged standing ovation and applause erupted following Dev Jude’s remarks, as did hugs from Kim and Paul Carswell. Jocelyn Lamont, executive director of Candlelighters, who was at the tournament and windup dinner, admitted that she did not know until the day before that this year’s tournament was going to be the ďŹ nal Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament. She said that Candlelighters would be forever grateful for the involvement of Tori’s Helping Hand, saying that the Carswell family ef-

forts have made a huge difference in the lives of families that need help in battling a childhood cancer. She made a presentation to the Carswell family – Kim, Paul and son Bryce – on behalf of Candlelighters. One of the early speakers at the windup dinner – and an impromptu one at that – was Brian Clifton, a friend of the Carswell family, who admitted that he too did not know earlier that this year’s tournament would be the last Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament. He praised the extended Carswell family for all of their work in organizing the tournament over the past ten years. He also recalled how he had helped organize a golf tournament for Tori 11 years ago at the Irish Hills golf course, a tournament which came together in a matter of weeks. He remembered that the day was pouring rain with everyone soaking wet but noted that Tori herself, who was at the tournament and riding around in a golf cart, was “incredible� and happy that day. He reminded everyone at the dinner that they really have nothing to complain about in life and should be telling their families how much they love them. “What Tori showed me, I have nothing to complain about,� Brian said, noting that despite all the treatments that Tori underwent to battle her cancer, she was always smiling and upbeat. See TORI CARSWELL, page 11

R0012272004

Sports - What a record! Over $368,000 raised over ten years to support children and their families battling a childhood cancer. This in itself is quite a legacy for the Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament which was held for the tenth and, as became public at last Saturday’s event at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville, for the ďŹ nal time. The tournament , which was ďŹ rst held in 2004, has supported Tori’s Helping Hand, a program established in 2005 which bears Tori’s name and which is part of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs Inc. Indeed, when Kim Carswell announced the grand total that had been raised over the tournament’s decade of existence at the conclusion of the windup dinner and auction events at last Saturday’s tournament, there was a prolonged standing ovation and applause from the 190 in attendance. And this grand total was a little more than $368,000, ending with the ďŹ gure “19â€? because Tori, who died in Jan. 2004, would have been 19 years old this year. Ever since 2009, the amount raised by this Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament has ended in a ďŹ gure corresponding to Tori’s age in that year – “15â€? in 2009, “16â€? in 2010 and so on, right up to this year when the total raised ends in a “19.â€?

But the legacy of this tournament and Tori’s Helping Hand goes beyond the money raised. This was graphically demonstrated when the stories of the help received from Tori’s Helping Hand by three families with children battling a childhood cancer were related at the dinner windup for this year’s tournament. This help takes many forms – travel expenses, meals, accommodation, parking, medical equipment not covered by OHIP and more. It is help that arrives like “pennies from heavenâ€? for families which are reeling from the cancer crisis that has beset them. There was the story of Hannah who died in 2007 but who received help which helped a grandmother travelling from the United Kingdom to spend some memorable ďŹ nal moments with her granddaughter. There was the story of Lily, a mother on leave with no beneďŹ ts who received support from Tori’s Helping Hand in the payment of hospital parking fees and in the provision of volunteers to watch children at home. And then there was the story of Eric who had to go to Montreal for three months of treatments and again Tori’s Helping Hand helped with parking costs. It was guest speaker Dev Jude of Stittsville, though, whose seven year old son Bryce died last September after a three year battle with cancer, who really relayed just what an impact the help and support from Tori’s Helping Hand and Candlelighters have on families with a child suffer-

Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament Continued from page 10

Prizes were handed out for the tournament, ranging from most honest golf team to the first

and second place winning teams, the longest drives, closest to the pin and the putting contest. The most honest golf team this year finished

22 above par while the winning team was 13 under par. Those at the dinner heard about a Texas Hold ‘Em Poker Night which was held this past spring as a fundraising event, with live music and hours of poker. This fundraising poker night event will be continuing on despite the ending of the golf tournament. A lot of excitement prevailed during the live auction that was held following the dinner, with MC and television personality Michael O’Byrne serving as the auctioneer. A total of $11,000 was raised from the sale of items in this live auction, capped off with the successful $4,200 bid for a Nashville Predators jersey signed by Mike Fisher and his wife, country music star Carrie Underwood. This is one of only two such NHL jerseys that have been signed by both Mike and Carrie. A signed Bobby Orr jersey generated $1,500 as did an autographed photography of Sidney

Crosby’s winning goal in the Olympics. An Erik Karlsson signed jersey garnered a bid of $800 while a BBQ sold for $2,500, well over its $1,900 retail value. A pizza party for 20 from the Newport Restaurant sold for $500 in the auction. The silent auction that was held as well generated a total of $5,210. Items ranged from a silent garage door opener to a wine rack with wine to a Chris Phillips’ signed Ottawa Senators jersey to a signed Jean Beliveau photo to an Ottawa Senators hockey package to a Kingston getaway. In her final comments, Kim Carswell thanked everyone for participating in the tournament, saying that tournament day is her favourite day of the year. She said that the tournament was very special to the Carswell family and that she had mixed feelings about the end of the tournament. “Thank you so very, very much,” she told everyone, a sentiment which was followed by a standing ovation from the audience.

Yes, the Mick Armitage Band concert at Village Square Park in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Aug. 22 went into the win column for the audience of close to 200. It all began when band leader and namesake Mick Armitage introduced Lyndon Slewidge for the singing of “O Canada� to start the concert. Lyndon, of course, has been the Ottawa Senators official anthem singer since 1994 and he showed why – his rendition of the national anthem spread throughout Village Square Park thanks to his

powerful voice which is most accustomed to resonating in Canadian Tire Centre, the home of the Senators. Lyndon was assisted in the national anthem by two youngsters who held the Canadian flag in the middle of the stage – four year old April Lalonde Knowles and three year old Sophie Folz. It was all a stirring start to what would become 90 minutes of musical bliss for the audience sitting in lawn chairs. It had been a rainy day and some had arrived with umbrellas but by the start of the concert at 7 p.m., a slanting sun had broken through the clouds, shining on the five red-shirted members of the band as they performed on the city of Ottawa stage at the east end of the park. And if Lyndon Slewidge’s version of “O Canada� was not enough to get the blood boiling,

band back there and who got to know Mick Armitage after staying at his house back in 2008, took to the stage with his harmonica. Accompanied by the band, he started with “Back Home Again,� the 1974 number one country hit by John Denver. This was followed up with “Georgia on My Mind,� the 1960 hit by Ray Charles which later on, in 1979, was proclaimed as the state song of Georgia. Peter White finished up playing “Sweet Georgia Brown� with the band. This jazz standard, written in 1925, is best known as the theme song for the basketball Harlem Globetrotters. During his appearance on stage, Peter was serenaded with a rendition of “Happy Birthday� to mark his recent 85th birthday. See MICK ARMITAGE, page 13

then the band’s initial song, the iconic rock ‘n roll song “Shake, Rattle and Roll� finished the job. This song has been getting people worked up since Big Joe Turner first recorded it in 1954 and then when Bill Haley and His Comets did the song to even greater success. The band continued, taking a page out of the songbook of Canadian rock band Trooper as it performed “We’re Here For A Good Time (not a long time),� a 1977 song that has become one of Trooper’s best known songs. And the musical “good times� continued. You had the band’s saxophonist Bruce Baker, from right here in Stittsville, leave the stage and play and dance through the assembled crowd in front of the stage. Another highlight happened when 85 year old Peter White from California, who plays in a

“This could only happen in Stittsville,� Mr. White commented. After Peter White left the stage, the Mick Armitage Band continued with an array of familiar and popular songs – like “Margaritaville, the 1977 hit by Jimmy Buffett; “Suspicious Minds,� the 1969 hit that got Elvis Presley’s career back on track, although it was his 17th and last number one hit in the United States; “Don’t Be Cruel,� another Elvis Presley song that was a hit back in 1956 and can now be found in the Grammy Awards Hall of Fame; a song associated with American rock singer/songwriter John Mellencamp; Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic�; and Bob Dylan’s 1973 song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,� done for the movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. When it was all over at 8:30 p.m., the crowd slowly dissipated in the descending darkness, a memorable concert tucked into its collective memories. This was the second and last of two free Thursday evening concerts held at Village Square Park in Stittsville. There were two free Thursday evening concerts held in Richmond earlier in August. These concerts in Stittsville have been sponsored by Waste Management in cooperation with the city of Ottawa for six years now. Donations were accepted for CHEO at the concerts.

Stittsville’s Charmaine Hall to climb stairs at CN Tower Special to the News

News - It’s like a stairway to heaven. And for Charmaine Hall of Stittsville, “heaven� is the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. That will be her goal on Saturday, Oct. 19 as she participates in the CN Tower stair climb challenge. Her goal is to climb the 148 flights of stairs, consisting of 1,776 stairs, all the way to the top, doing it in 20 minutes or less. She is taking on this challenge primarily to raise money for three charities that she supports but she is also doing it to deal with her extreme fear of heights. And there’s few places higher than the CN Tower. Charmaine, who is a personal fitness trainer, participated in this CN Tower stair climb event last year, completing it in 21 minutes, a time that she wants to improve on this year with her goal of 20 minutes or less. She is now training for the event. She notes that every ten flights, there is a team a paramedics with a defibrillator on hand just in case of an

Charmaine Hall emergency situation. She also says that there are cases of participants throwing up and being sick because of the exertion required and their lack of training. It is raising money for the three charities that she supports that is driving Charmaine

to take on this CN Tower stair climb again this year. The three charities are Internal House of Ottawa, a shelter for abused women and children; B.A.R.K. which is the Bytown Association for Rescued Kanines; and the YMCA-YWCA’s Strong Kids Campaign which helps underprivileged children. Charmaine is hoping that people in the community will help her in this endeavour by supporting her in this and she would be most grateful for any and all donations. Donations can be dropped off at either of her work places: the Kanata YMCAYWCA at the Canadian Tire Centre (1000 Palladium Drive, Kanata, On. K2V 1A4) or at Anytime Fitness in the Farm Boy shopping area on Hazeldean Road in Kanata (457 Hazeldean Road, Kanata, On. K2L 1V1). Tax receipts will be available. Anyone who wants a tax receipt simply has to provide a full name and address with the donation, along with which one of the three charities is to receive the donation.

Advertorial

Downtown Balderson probably has fewer residents than the posted speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour, but it does have Ema Lee Fashions, the largest ladies clothing store in the Ottawa Valley. When Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney bought the old general store in Balderson, situated seven kilometres north of Perth in 2002, there was quite a buzz going around. They were called crazy, told to bulldoze it down and that their business would never succeed. With one year of hard work and persistence, the renovations were complete and their business began. Ten years later Ema Lee Fashions, which is open seven days a week, is still going strong. Well known for its vast selection of ladies apparel, purses, bathing suits and men’s shirts, the demographic area of returning customers and new visitors keeps growing larger and larger. “We have customers from Ottawa, Kingston and Toronto, just to name a

few, but I ďŹ nd it absolutely amazing to think that from this little hamlet, our clothes have travelled all around the world,â€? Desjardine said. “But our success could not be possible without our dedicated staff and the support from the surrounding areas,â€? she continued. “It’s nice to hear customers tell us that while visiting Perth, the ladies from the Chamber of Commerce sent them our way.â€? In 2007, Ema Lee Fashions was named as ‘The best in Canada’ for destination shopping. Customers sum it up by commenting, “If you can’t ďŹ nd anything here, you’re not shopping,â€? and

“What a hidden treasure.â€? Another French visitor said “Ca vaut le detour,â€? (It’s worth the detour.) While visiting Ema Lee Fashions, you can also enjoy breakfast or lunch at the quaint Balderson CafĂŠ, buy local produce and all-natural ice cream at Balderson Fine Foods or treat yourself to some homemade pies, bread and lemon squares from Anne & Vanessa’s Bake Shop. All of the stores are adjacent to each other. Across the road, you will ďŹ nd Balderson Village Cheese, The Amish Store and Cora’s Gift Shop. There’s plenty to discover in Downtown Balderson!

Hair harvest time for Erik Hiratsuka Special to the News

News – It was hair harvest time for Erik Hiratsuka of Stittsville on Saturday, Aug. 10. That’s when Erik had his long hair cut for donation to Angel Hair for Kids Foundation, an organization which provides wigs for cancer patients. It was hair that Erik had been growing for the past two years as a sign of support and a tribute to the

battle that his father, Koji Hiratsuka, has been waging with cancer. Koji has now reached the stage where he can go without treatment or tests for six months as he moves along the road to recovery. A cancer diagnosis can leave family members feeling helpless. This was the case for Stittsville’s Erik Hiratsuka back in May 2011. It was the week of Erik’s high school prom when his family got the news that his

dad was suffering from Stage 3B colon cancer. The first step of treatment was emergency surgery, followed by months of intensive chemotherapy. Erik and his brothers helped out with their dad’s care, driving him to his treatments and keeping him company throughout the process. Erik also made the decision to start growing his hair to donate for wigs for people battling cancer. Two years later, Erik’s hair had reached up to 15

inches in length. Stylists Carly Heney and Lydia Brown at Shears Hair Salon in Stittsville were happy to help with Erik’s hair harvest. The two stylists meticulously braided the hair into over two dozen braids and then carefully cut them off. The hair is being donated to the Angel Hair for Kids Foundation. Shears Hair Salon is one of the

participants in Hair Donation Ottawa, an annual non-profit cancer research fundraiser where people raise pledges for donating their hair and/or shaving their heads. This April fundraiser was founded in 2011 by Helene Hutchings, a local resident, who has fought her own battle with cancer. More information can be found at the website www.HairDonationOttawa.com .

Main Street Community Services in Stittsville provides services for children and youth with special needs and their families. They are provided in a unique, caring way. But this not-forprofit registered charity would not be able to do what it does were it not for the generosity of the community. That’s because Main Street Community Services depends heavily on fundraising to carry on its programs and services. Main Street Community Services is located in part of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

CAT OF THE WEEK

New singers welcome to join Jubilee Singers News - It’s a community choir with singers who enjoying singing with a group of likeminded people and also like having fun. That’s the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, a choir that has been singing and performing in and around the west end communities of Ottawa for 36 years now. And another season is about to begin, with the first weekly practice session happening on Wednesday, Sept. 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. This is where the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers hold their weekly Wednesday evening practices. Anyone, male or female, who has singing in a choir on the “bucket list” should consider attending the Sept. 4th practice session and perhaps a couple of more in ensuing weeks to try out the choir and see if it is for you. All singers are most welcome and there are no auditions required. Besides its regular weekly practices, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers performs two concerts annually, one leading up to Christmas and one in the spring. The Jubilee Singers also sing at community events and at seniors residences. This year’s Christmas concert is already scheduled. Entitled “Winterval,” the concert will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. The first half of the program at this concert will see

the choir performing Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” along with guest instrumentalists and guest soloists soprano Sarah Burnell and alto Annie Duchesne. The second half of the concert will feature a variety of Christmas favourites. Linda Crawford, a longtime, now retired music teacher at Goulbourn Middle School, is the musical director of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. She tries to keep the choir’s repertoire interesting and challenging for the choir members. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers’ new accompanist this season will be Erna Poettcker who is returning to the choir this season. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers also has a youth choir, the JJ’s, which is for boys and girls aged 8 to 14 years. This youth choir joins the senior choir in its performances, performing not only by itself but also joining the adult choir for selected pieces. The JJ’s youth choir practices on Wednesdays as well at the Stittsville United Church. These JJ’s practices run from 5:45 p.m. to 7 p.m. with the first one of the season happening on Wednesday, Sept. 4. These JJ’s practices precede the weekly Wednesday practice sessions of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. For more information about the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or about the JJ’s youth choir or to listen to a couple of Goulbourn Jubilee Singers musical selections, log onto www.gjsingers.com. Information can also be obtained by calling Charlotte at 613-825-3357 or Sandra at 613-831-8414.

Farewell luncheon for trio Special to the News

News - The Goulbourn Museum said farewell to three longtime Board members at a luncheon in Stittsville on Monday, Aug. 19. The three – Hilda Moore, Virginia Notley and Sheila Cain-Sample – had contributed over 46 years in total in volunteer work as members of the Museum’s Board of Directors before stepping down at last April’s annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Museum. In July, the three were honoured at the Museum’s annual appreciation evening by having their names engraved on the Museum’s Heritage Advocacy Award. The Museum presents this award annually to a person or persons who have made an outstanding contribution to the Goulbourn Museum. At the farewell luncheon on Monday, Aug. 19, held at the Bistro 54 restaurant at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club, the three were each presented with a personalized charm bracelet as a memento

of their years helping out the Museum. The luncheon was attended by Museum staff including curator-manager Kathryn Jamieson and members of the Museum’s Board of Directors. Following the luncheon, the group toured the FairďŹ elds Historic Site at Bayshore. This stone home of the Bell family on Richmond Road is the latest heritage facility to join the Ottawa Museum Network of which the Goulbourn Museum is also a member. Hilda Moore was a member of the Goulbourn Museum Board and its predecessor Museum Committee of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society from 1995 to this year when she stepped down. She served as the Board/Committee chair for a number of years. Virginia Notley was a member of the Goulbourn Museum Board and its predecessor Museum Committee of the Historical Society also from 1995 to last April. She had served as the Museum’s treasurer. Sheila Cain-Sample was a

member of the Goulbourn Museum Board and its predecessor Museum Committee of the Historical Society from 2002, serving as the Board/Committee’s secretary. All three of these longtime

Museum volunteers and supporters played big roles over the years in helping bring the Goulbourn Museum to where it is today in its function to preserve, display and research the history of Goulbourn township.

ENBRIDGE GAS PIPELINE UPDATE The constructors, Link-Line and Aecon are working towards completing significant intersections along the route, primarily through Hope Side Road, Richmond Road and West Hunt Club which are heavy traffic corridors. Working with the City of Ottawa, restrictions imposed on these sections provide opportunity to mitigate congestion during vacation periods when traffic counts are more favorable. Over the next few weeks, our work plan will focus on completing road crossings at the following locations before the end of August; 1. Stonehaven @ Richmond Road: Pipeline installed and final reinstatement 90% complete as of August 16, 2013 2. Hope Side Road @ Richmond Road: Planned installation Saturday August 17th, 2013 3. Richmond Road @ West Hunt Club: Excavation complete and pipeline to be installed Saturday August 17th, 2013 4. West Hunt Club @ Richmond Road: Planned excavation the week of August 19th with pipeline installation Saturday August 24th 2013 Enbridge will make every reasonable effort to reinstate asphalt and return these intersection to local traffic as efficiently as possible. Temporary widening and paving of the gravel shoulder was put in place along West Hunt Club, will be completed along Richmond Road to better manage the lane shift while construction continues.

A week later, it’s the Richmond Fair! Hoping for some great weather once again and I hope to see many familiar faces over the course of the weekend. As usual, I will be at my booth for the majority of the weekend. I believe I spent nearly thirty hours at last year’s Fair so there will be plenty of opportunity to chat and provide comments on local issues in and around Richmond. Looking forward to another great Fair! Plasco Last week at Environment Committee, Plasco’s CEO Rod Bryden asked for an extension to his funding deadline to December 31, 2014. As approved in December 2011, this project is scheduled to be fully operational by March 31, 2016. The extension request is only on the funding deadline and does not affect the operational deadline. For this reason, staff supported the extension as it creates no financial impact to the City of Ottawa. At this committee meeting, I put forward a motion stating that should Plasco not achieve its funding targets that City of Ottawa staff immediately commence a Request for Expressions of Interest to find alternative technology that will allow for the lengthening of the life of the Trail Road Landfill. If Plasco works, the lifespan moves beyond 2070 but if it doesn’t, we are back to 2035. There are other technologies that should be explored and while similar technology is not much further advanced than Plasco is today, we shouldn’t waste any more time should Plasco fail. This motion was approved by Committee and goes to Council on August 28th. Road safety a top priority as children return to school As students head back to school this fall, the City of Ottawa, the Ottawa Police Service, and Ottawa Public Health remind all road users to be extra attentive to the rules of the road and speed limits, especially in construction zones, school zones and around school buses. Ottawa Police Service will also be focusing on back to school road safety education and enforcement in the coming weeks. Safer roads also mean more active and healthy children who feel safe getting back and forth from school by walking or cycling. This back-to-school initiative is part of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program, a partnership between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health, and the Public Works Department. This initiative has been put in place to prevent road deaths and serious injuries in the City of Ottawa, through culture change, community engagement, and development of a sustainable safe transportation environment.

Free e-waste drop off cancelled John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Hang onto that e-waste that you were gathering up for the free e-waste drop off that was planned by Capital Junk for Saturday, Sept. 7 in Stittsville. Due to unavoidable circumstances, Capital Junk has had to cancel this free e-waste drop off day on Saturday, Sept. 7 planned for the parking lot at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street. No new date has been set at this time but Capital Junk is hoping to be able to re-schedule the event for later in September. At this now-cancelled free e-waste drop off, people would have been able to drop off their old electronic equipment and be assured not only that the e-waste would be properly recycled or reused but also that the funds raised by Capital Junk from handing in this e-waste to the appropriate recyclers would all be going to the Terry Fox Foundation and its continuation of Terry Fox’s fight to end cancer. E-waste ranging from TV’s to monitors to keyboards to computers to television sets to printers to fax machines were all going to be accepted at this free e-waste drop off, with no limit. Capital Junk was planning to collect as many items as possible so that it will have

even more funds to donate to the Terry Fox Foundation and the fight against cancer. Capital Junk had been hoping for a great turnout again this year, as the fundraising goal from turning over the donated e-waste to recyclers is $6,000. That’s a hoped-for $6,000 for the Terry Fox Foundation and its work in the battle against cancer. Capital Junk provides full service junk removal for residential and commercial customers in the Ottawa and Gatineau regions. Electronic or e-waste as it is known is no longer accepted in regular garbage pickup. Electronic items that are not accepted in municipal waste collection include televisions, desktop computers, monitors, laptops, printers, copiers, keyboards, DVD players and more. This locally owned, eco-friendly junk removal business in the Ottawa area, Capital Junk, is owned by Sam and Dena Burland who started the business three and a half years ago. A large percentage of the material removed from homes and businesses in the normal course of business for Capital Junk is either taken to a recycling centre or donated to local Ottawa charities. Remaining material is disposed of at a transfer station for further processing and recycling. For this planned but now cancelled free e-waste drop off, all of the material submitted was going to be dealt with in an envi-

The Terry Fox Foundation became a registered charitable public foundation in 1988, independent from the Canadian Cancer Society. The Terry Fox Foundation is responsible for supporting close to $20 million in discovery based research each year in Canada. It not only raises this money for research but it also continues to share the story of Terry Fox. The Terry Fox Foundation strives to maintain the heroic effort and integrity that Terry himself embodied. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg in 1977, with the leg being amputated above the knee. While in hospital, Terry was so overcome by the suffering of other cancer patients there that he decided to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research, calling his journey the Marathon of Hope. It took place in 1980 with the simple goal of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. He ran an average of 42 kilometers every day for 143 days before being forced to end his run on Sept. 1, 1980 when the cancer had spread to his lungs. By Feb. 1, 1981, Terry’s dream of raising $1 for every Canadian was realized, with the Terry Fox Marathon of Hope fund totaling $24.17 million. Terry died in June, 1981.

‘Come Try Ringette’ at Goulbourn Recreation Complex Special to the News

Sports - The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA), which offers ringette in the Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton areas, hosted a free “Come Try Ringette” session last Sunday, Aug. 25 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville. There will be another “Come Try Ringette” session coming up on Saturday, Sept. 14. Last Sunday’s session was a chance for any girl aged four and up to simply show up and have the chance to try out the game of ringette. The WORA had arranged for the ice time and there was absolutely no charge to attend. All that was needed was a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves, either winter gloves or hockey gloves. Ringette sticks, yes, those bladeless ones, were available to use. In addition, there were on-ice helpers on hand to explain the sport and how it works to those who at-

tended. And to make it even easier to get involved in playing ringette, this year the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, through the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund, has provided a grant to WORA to enable more young girls to start enjoying the sport. Thanks to this grant funding, WORA now has a “Discover Ringette” program fund that enables the Association to provide an equipment loan program that is applicable this coming season for up to 25 new ringette players from the ages of 4 to 7. This program means that new 4 to 7 year old players new to the sport will receive all the necessary equipment required to play ringette except for a helmet and skates. It is through this “Discover Ringette” program fund that the WORA is able to offer these “Come Try Ringette” sessions, providing free opportunities for girls to try the sport. At these “Come Try Ringette”

sessions, there are on-ice helpers to help with beginners. There are also snacks and drinks afterwards. The upcoming “Come Try Ringette” session on Saturday, Sept. 14 will feature three hours of ringette including a “showcase” exhibition game featuring the Eastern Region AAA team which is made up of the top players in this area. The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) offers a range of ringette programs for players of all ages, starting at the age of four with its “Bunnies” program. Girls between the ages of 4 and 7 begin as a “Bunny,” participating in a learnto-skate program as well as being introduced to the game of ringette. Those in the “Bunnies” program do not play formal league games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other ringette associations throughout the city of Ottawa and area. This “Bunnies” program takes place at the GRC on Saturday mornings.

For players from ages 7 through 18, WORA offers both recreational and competitive ringette programs. League play runs from early October through to the end of March. Home arenas for WORA includes those in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. Away games can take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau, among other locations. Teams also have the opportunity to participate in tournaments where not only do the players have the chance to play other teams but where they have the opportunity to have fun with their teammates and meet ringette players from other areas of the region and the province. Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. There are six players from each team on the ice at any one time – two forwards, one centre, two defense and one goalie. Ringette is related to ice hockey in that similar protective gear is worn

and a similar ice playing surface is used. But the rules and approach to the game are different. In ringette, instead of passing a puck, players “stab the ring” which is the equivalent of the puck. Players are not permitted to carry this ring over the two blue lines as it must be passed to another player to cross the line. This adds an essential team aspect to the game. A ringette stick is similar to a hockey stick but with no blade. It must be placed inside the ring (hence, “stabbing the ring”) with the player then controlling it until there is an opportunity to pass to a teammate or to take a shot on net. The ring tends to be easier to control than a puck in hockey but that’s where the blue line rule makes an impact. The ring has to be passed over the blue line, meaning that ringette ends up with more passing than in hockey. This means that passing and, indeed, skating are vital in ringette, as is teamwork. Another difference between ringette and hockey is that only three players from each team are allowed inside the zone between the red line and the goalie.

‘Riding the Rideau’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

0307.R0011949739

Shawn Grant, left, and Jon Minogue, right, both of Richmond, are at their table selling raffle tickets on over $500 worth of gift card prizes at the entrance to King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond last Saturday to help meet their fundraising goal related to their participation in the Ride the Rideau bicycle ride in support of cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. The bicycle ride takes place on Saturday, Sept. 7.

News - Two avid cyclists from Richmond were not on their bikes last Saturday. Oh, they were with their bikes but rather than riding them on that sunny day, they were standing at a table near them, selling raffle tickets on gift cards as they attempted to reach their fundraising goal of $5,000 for participating in the upcoming Ride the Rideau bike ride. Shawn Grant and Jon Minogue are the only two members of the Scotia Slowspokes team that has registered for the Ride the Rideau charity bicycle ride happening on Saturday, Sept. 7. They spent last Saturday at the entrance to King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond, selling raffle tickets for over $500 worth of gift card prizes. The gift cards were all donated by local businesses, including area restaurants such as Cabotto’s, Napoli’s and The Glen in Stittsville and Chin Hon and Casa Di Zia Mia in Richmond and King’s YIG itself which provided two $100 gift cards. They also had some unique hand-made toques made by Shawn Grant’s wife on sale as well, with the proceeds also going to their fundraising for the Ride the Rideau bike ride, just like the proceeds from the gift card raffle. A banner publicizing the Ride the Rideau bicycle ride was on display on the front of the store and the two cyclists also had information available on the Ride the Rideau event. Shawn and Jon work in the same building in downtown Ottawa. And just how keen on cycling are they? Well, Shawn bikes the whole way to work, a 70 kilometer round trip. Jon also bikes to work, although he drives for a portion of the trip and then cycles the rest of the way, some ten kilometers. Both are first time participants in the Ride the Rideau charity bicycle ride this year. Shawn Grant wanted to participate in a cycling event that was not a race but was a ride where a cyclist could go at his or her own speed. The Ride the Rideau event met this criteria. The Ride the Rideau this year is offering cyclists two route choices, a 50 kilometer one and a 100 kilometer one ending in Merrickville. Shawn opted for the 100 kilometer route since he already does 70 kilometers each day on

his commute to and back from work. Doing the 50 kilometer route just did not seem like enough of a challenge given his daily cycling. But although he does cycle to work, he still has been training for the 100 kilometers of the Ride the Rideau ride this summer. Jon Minogue, for his part, was going to opt for Ride the Rideau’s 50 kilometer route but when he received a sponsorship offer of one dollar per kilometer, he decided to go for the longer 100 kilometer route, raising another $50 in the process. Jon has a special reason for participating in this Ride the Rideau bicycle ride which raises funds for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. He himself successfully had a brain tumour surgically removed back in 2006. In just three years, this Ride the Rideau bicycle ride has become the most successful single-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario with more than $4.4 million raised since it began. The funds raised by the Ride the Rideau bicycle ride have helped fund new therapies and the opening of the Centre for Innovative Cancer Research (CICR) at The Ottawa Hospital while also enabling patients to benefit from clinical trials faster than previously. It was in 2011 that the new state-of-the-art cancer research centre (CICR) opened its doors at The Ottawa Hospital. Researchers at The Ottawa Hospital are breaking new ground with new cancer-killing viruses, personalized therapies based on genetics and cancer prevention. There are currently 200 cancer-related clinical trials underway at The Ottawa Hospital’s cancer centre which cares for approximately 24,000 patients a year.

Callahan Estates: The ABC’s (Arnprior’s Best Community) by Campanale Homes On a recent sun-filled Saturday summer morning, Vince Campanale, VicePresident of Campanale Homes welcomed guests and visitors to the grand opening of his company’s latest community, Callahan Estates in Arnprior. Mayor David Reid, Reeve Walter Stack and Councillors Lynn Grinstead and Dan Lynch were on hand for the ribbon-cutting ceremony and all were more than suitably impressed with the model units and the neighbourhood’s plan. Vince, having been in home building with his brothers for over 30 years in the region, knows full well what today’s buyers are looking for, and with Callahan estates it’s as easy as A, B, C. A Means accessibility to employment centres and amenities which is a crucial feature to all home buyers and Callahan Estates delivers. With the completion of a well executed and high capacity four-lane highway from Ottawa, Arnprior is now reached by a very minor and safe commute in any season, and without traffic congestion. The numerous shopping and dining areas on Daniel Street are only a short walk away with unheard of safe pedestrian access along tree-lined streets with appropriate traffic lane separation. Quality schools are also on the top of discerning buyers’ lists and Callahan Estates is conveniently located within a few minutes stroll of two award-winning and well-respected public centres of learning. B Stands for Builders, and Campanale has a track record that is hard to beat. They are responsible for some of the region’s most desirable communities, including the award-winning Prince of Wales on the Rideau, Riverwood Estates in Arnprior, The Hunt Club Classics, the Forest of Carson Village, The Gates of Longfields, and Woodroffe Walk, just to name a few. Campanale family values, based on integrity and responsiveness to their clients, and can be seen, touched, felt, and experienced in every square foot of each residence they create. Vince and his entire team of professionals never lose sight of the fact that they are helping to provide families with more than just shelter, but also safe and nurturing places to grow. C Is for community, and Callahan Estates has been planned to honor the memory and namesakes of the property’s original owner with homes that are affordable to the average family or couple. From executive townhomes starting in the low $200’s to well-equipped single’s in the mid $300’s, Campanale Homes has everyone in mind with this uniquely inclusive community. To those just starting out, having mortgage payments lower than monthly rent charges means getting the benefit of property ownership without sacrificing their day-to-day budget. When families grow and more room is needed, beautifully appointed and well laid out semis and detached homes are located in the same community, avoiding the disruption of moving to another town or neighbourhood. Even empty-nesters will find just the right home with the carefully thought out floor plans that give a warm living space without the burden of over-sized property maintenance and upkeep.

32 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, August 29, 2013

With Campanale Homes, attention to detail is everything, as they know that building it right means building it to last. Brick and stone exterior treatments, real wood cupboards, doors, and trim, natural and man-made stone countertops, ceramic tile, quality fixtures and hardwood floors will stand up to, not only everyday traffic, but anything a busy family can dish out. Having the resources of a dedicated design centre, means Campanale home buyers can express their own tastes and values in a very personal way through easyto-arrange custom touches that won’t break the bank. At Vince stated at the grand opening, “We wanted to raise the bar in quality homes to show our family of clients they don’t have to settle for less.” Of course the only things buyers will have do with less of are mortgage payments, property taxes, and the stress of simply making a living rather than living a real life of family and community. Mayor David Reid was quick to point out the wide and varied array of recreational, educational and employment opportunities his town has developed over the last number of years, to the point where children of current residents are looking to settle on site, rather than relocate out of the area. With Callahan Estates, Vince Campanale and his very dedicated team have created a true community that will thrive with diversity and grow as rich as the farmlands of the Ottawa Valley. The sales centre at Callahan Estates, located at the end of Edey Street; just off Daniel Street in Arnprior at is open Monday – Thursday from 11am-7pm and Saturday, Sunday & Holiday from 12pm-5pm. You can call 613-622-0033 or log onto www.campanale.com.

Community BBQ at Legion is mini-fun festival Special to the News

News - What a barbeque! In reality, last Sunday’s community BBQ at the Stittsville Legion site on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville was much more than a simple BBQ; it was a mini-fun festival. Sure, there was lots of good food which everyone in attendance en-

joyed. But, besides this, there was the bake sale inside the Legion Hall. There were fire trucks on scene, at one time three of them. Such equipment is always a bit hit with youngsters. There was face painting and youngsters could have fun on the in-

flatable bounce that had been set up. And then there was the tug of war. Teams from three Ottawa Fire Services stations – Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street, Station 46 on Iber Road and Station 82 in Richmond – along with a team representing the cadets took part in the tugfest, with the Richmond firefighters emerging

as the victors. There was, as might be expected, some speech making from dignitaries in attendance at the event which ran from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. These included city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and Ottawa city councillors Shad Qadri of Stittsville and Marianne Wilkinson of Kanata. Former CTV Ottawa news anchor and community activist Max Keeping served as the MC for the formal ceremonies associated with the event.

This community BBQ was hosted by the Stittsville Legion in partnership with the Military Family Resource Centre of the National Capital Region (MFRC-NCR). Sponsors of the event included The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro, Dharma Developments, Stittsville Sobeys, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command, Rental Village in Stittsville and Bradley’s Insurance (A division of Johnson Inc.).

NEWS

Connected to your community

Letter: Campgrounds plaque funded by Historical Society Editor: Thank you very much for your coverage of the Stittsville Campgrounds plaque unveiling and the information you provided for it before the event. Our community is fortunate to be so well served by the Stittsville News. The Stittsville Campgrounds plaque unveiling was the culmination of seven months of work by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society and the effort put in by two of our members was exceptional.

Reta Holmes-Desmarais grew up in Richmond and attended Mapledene Youth Camp. She volunteered to help back in February when the Historical Society’s Board of Directors decided to act on Lillian Hobbs’ suggestion of a plaque commemorating the Stittsville Campgrounds. Reta’s husband John started to delve into the history of the Holiness Movement and Mapledene Youth Camp and go so interested that he provided us with a lot of new and in-

teresting information and was able to verify exact dates by research at the Land Registry Office and in the Free Methodist Archives. Reta assembled most of the historic pictures of the camps and put together the displays used on the day of the unveiling. John wrote most of the text for the souvenir booklet given to all those who attended the event. Without their input, we would not have had such a full and interesting exhibit to offer to the almost 100

people who attended the plaque unveiling. Invitations had been sent to as many people as we would identify who had been part of the Holiness Movement or attended the youth camp. The plaque erected at Alexander Grove commemorating the Stittsville Campgrounds and the thousands of people who were drawn to Stittsville between the years of 1898 and 1974 was funded by the Historical Society as was the souvenir booklet and the

refreshments available at the event. A number of other Historical Society members as well as three youth volunteers also helped out on the day of the event. Service to our local community by documenting and preserving local history is what the Society is here for. We hope that this plaque will be a lasting memorial to a part of Stittsville’s history that was both surprising and interesting. Barbara Bottriell President Goulbourn Township Historical Society

Toys teach problem solving skills

R0012264113

Encouraging the use of creative activities and games that challenge your children to think outside the box and build their problem solving skills at an early age will help encourage them to become independent thinkers and problem solvers -- skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Giving your child simple games such as building blocks that require identifying different shapes is a great way to start building problem solving skills. For older children, more challenging games may be required to build their problem solving abilities and their confidence in taking on greater challenges. One new game that has caught the attention of educators and parents alike is the new Perplexus 3D game maze by Plasmart Inc.

This is a 3-dimensional maze game where players manoeuvre a small marble around challenging barriers inside a large-sized transparent sphere. Unlike traditional flat-surface mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus challenges players’ problem solving abilities with numerous paths to choose from and hundreds of barriers to overcome. Players can race each other or the clock. In addition to being an entertaining game, it’s a valuable tool for cognitive development, encouraging children to exercise their problemsolving, motor and dexterity skills, as well as improving their hand-eye coordination. Experts say the game is just as challenging for adults as it is for children and will especially keep parent solving skills sharp as well.

Know the symptoms of ADHD

Lifestyle - Only specialists can diagnose attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, commonly known as ADHD. Before any kind of diagnosis, a specialist, such as a psychiatrist, neurologist or pediatrician must first ensure that the hyperactivity is not a manifestation of trauma or any other type of disturbance. If parents suspect that a child has ADHD, they should be very careful about jumping to conclusions. Children suffering from ADHD can present different symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity or impulsiveness. • Inattention: children cannot stay focused on what they are doing; they are easily distracted, don’t seem to listen, have difficulty getting themselves organized, often lose items and do not follow instructions. • Hyperactivity: children have difficulty sitting still and move constantly, talk a lot, run or SUBMITTED climb at inopportune moments and are incapaTo renew your family’s style, rely on a few basics. Well-chosen, good quality clothes last ble of playing quietly. longer and can be easily coordinated with other items. • Impulsiveness: children interrupt others, have difficulty waiting their turn and tend to touch everything. Certainly, all children demonstrate one or another of these types of behaviour when they are tired or excited. However children suffering from ADHD will exhibit several of these symptoms in an ongoing and excessive manner, at

Renew your family’s wardrobe the economical way Lifestyle - Fall can be an expensive time of year. Back to school fashions and cool weather requirements mean stocking up the wardrobe. To keep things fresh and interesting for your children, all while taking care of your budget, be a resourceful shopper. First of all, check to see what you can keep for another fall before you replace everything, especially fall jackets, hat and mitt sets, and sweaters. Stylists suggest taking a good look at summer clothes before putting them away until next year. Some summer items are suitable for coordinating with fall clothing. Belts or accessories, for example, can be worn with warmer textured, winter fabrics. For a fall look that makes sense, keep it to 30 percent light, colourful, or flowered items for 70 percent of winter clothes. Before hitting the stores, make a list of the key clothing items you will need. These can be

used as basics that can be coordinated with just about anything else. Staples for your family’s wardrobe might include a well-cut black jacket for teenage boys, neutral coloured pants for little boys, and allpurpose grey leggings for little girls. Closets should only contain a limited number of flamboyant, multicoloured items, as such styles quickly become outmoded or their owners soon tire of them. Don’t be shy about asking family and friends if they have hand-me-downs in good shape for your children. It’s a great way to recycle, and it’s easy on the wallet. Likewise, if your closets contain clothes that are past their best, taking them to a dressmaker might give them new life. And those items that no longer suit your needs or sizes can be brought to a local used clothing store for resale or for fabric recycling.

SUBMITTED

Don’t jump to conclusions if your child seems hyperactive. home, at school or during extracurricular activities. To reach a diagnosis, the doctor performs testing, takes into account parents’ observations, and gathers information from teachers and other adults in the child’s life. A specialized treatment and educational plan are established as soon as ADHD has been diagnosed.

Changing schools smoothly Lifestyle - Having to move house can be a major source of stress for children. When a change of school is also involved, the emotional impact can be huge. Children need the support of their parents in order for this transition to go as smoothly as possible. Just because they are young doesn’t mean that children can adapt easily to upheaval in their lives. Just as adults do, kids need time to get used to change. The stress of a transition might manifest itself as sudden mood swings, nightmares, or minor physical discomfort. Even insomnia can make an appearance. To prevent some of these reactions, parents have everything to gain by preparing their children for a move. The best kind of start is to put all your cards on the table and explain frankly to children why they have to

move and what it will involve. After this, parents must listen carefully as they give children time to verbalize their worries. It is important that children feel comfortable expressing what they are feeling. For the transition to go smoothly, it is essential that parents supply points of reference for their children. Taking the time to visit new classrooms, meet the teachers, and see other students will help them develop more confidence. On the way home, a conversation about the positive aspects of the visit will help other fears to dissipate. Of course, parents should not expect that all their children’s misgivings will disappear like magic. But by being calm and patient, parents can make their children feel secure enough that the transition to a new school and neighbourhood can go smoothly.

Lifestyle - The purchase of a backpack at the beginning of a new school year is an important one. When kids tote books and gear back and forth from school, their backs can suffer the consequences, including muscle strain that induces headaches and sore necks. Here are a few rules to follow to help your child avoid backpack-related health problems. The quality of the backpack is much more important than a fashionable brand name. Backpacks have to be replaced often because of the changing size of their owners, and since they will likely only be used for a year or two, there’s no need to pay astronomical prices. Make sure your child’s backpack is the appropriate size for their height. It shouldn’t exceed the width of the child’s back, nor the height of the shoulders. Packs that are too big can cause back problems because of improper distribution of weight through the straps. Even for an older child, accompany him to choose a backpack so you can make sure it fits. The backpack must be well-adjusted, fitting closely to the child’s back. It should be attached high on the shoulders and be equipped with padded straps large enough to spread the weight evenly. In addition, the straps should always be easy to adjust. If the bag has plenty of compartments, your child will be able to spread the weight evenly throughout the backpack and reduce discomfort in the back and shoulders. The most important thing is to not overload the backpack, which should only be used to carry essential items back and forth to school.

My child is ready for school, but I’m not Lifestyle - Watching children leave home for their very first day of school is always an emotional time for parents. After a last goodbye, many mums and dads will spill tears of joy and pride, but sometimes those tears can be caused by anguish and worry. Leaving children in the hands of strangers is never easy. Parents must prepare themselves in advance so they can keep their composure during this big day in the lives of their children. It is helpful to establish the new routine several days before school starts.

Set the alarm clock to wake up at a reasonable hour and take the time to eat breakfast with your children. Practise taking the route to school. In other words, if you get your children used to the new routine, you will probably feel reassured as well. I the last days before school starts, and after offering all the support you can give to your children, give yourself some time to catch your breath. You deserve a break after all the back-toschool rushing around. Relax in a candle-lit bubble bath, go for a

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

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

Drugs and school don’t mix Lifestyle - At the beginning of a new school year, all parents of teenagers worry that their children will start hanging around with a new group of friends and get involved with drugs. Here are a few signs and symptoms: • New friendships, dropping marks, and frequent absences from school. • More secretive behaviour about their pos-

sessions, activities, or movements. • Changes of clothing style and the wearing of clothes that evoke the drug culture. • The use of incense or deodorizing products, which are often used to camouflage suspicious odours. • Consistent demands for more pocket money than usual. • Disappearing medications from the medicine cabinet and the frequent use of eye drops, which are often used to conceal red eyes or dilated pupils. Have a frank conversation with your child if you’ve noticed one or more of these signs. Tell him or her about what you’ve noticed and ask for an explanation for the changes in behaviour and habits. It is also acceptable to meet with the principal and school counsellor as well as your family doctor.

BACK TO SCHOOL & 2013 FALL REGISTRATION How to help Brain exercises help develop more brain power rejected children Lifestyle - Maintaining concentration and keeping the memory sharp are a daily challenge for students. Fortunately, brain power is supple and can be developed by exercising it. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS THAT CAN FACILITATE LEARNING AND REMEMBERING:

1. Good posture. Sit comfortably, with back straight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat on the floor. Avoid crossing your legs or, even worse, slumping over your desk. 2. Relax: inhaling and exhaling deeply through the nose allows you to relax and increase your level of concentration. 3. Choose to be attentive: be curious about what the

of voice while reading aloud stimulates different areas of the brain. This varied brain activity makes memorizing easier and faster. 7. Draw a picture: a picture is worth a thousand words and the smallest of scribbles is easier for the brain to remember than a single word. 8. Take a break: go outside during break time. Think about something else, move around and laugh. It will relax you and help you feel good.

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

teacher may have to say; don’t let yourself be distracted and ask questions. 4. Take notes: as well as facilitating memorization, note-taking doesn’t leave room for day dreaming. It helps you stay alert and focused. 5. Explain things to yourself or to someone else: read over your notes, then hide them and explain out loud what you’ve just read. 6. Use your imagination: who says studying has to be boring? Singing while reading or varying the tone

Let’s all unite to end bullying

Caution: School is in session

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

Bullying is not only about pushing people around or calling them names. There are in fact four principal types of bullying, and being able to identify them is a R0012281739

first step in the fight to eradicate this scourge. Verbal bullying includes insults, sarcasms, teasing, the spreading of rumours, threats, inappropriate sexual comments, and slurs about culture, race, religion, gender, or sexual-orientation. Social bullying includes group threats, making a scapegoat of someone, exclusion, public humiliation, and demeaning graffiti. Physical bullying includes hitting, pushing, pinching, hounding, jostling, stealing or destroying possessions, and sexual touching of an undesirable nature. Cyberbullying includes using the Internet or text messaging to bully, humiliate, make fun of, or circulate rumours about someone. DEVASTATING EFFECTS SUBMITTED

Just as there are many forms of bullying, there are also many devastating effects. Victims can experience an inordinate amount of insecurity, distress, withdrawal, isolation, fear, stress, anxiety, loss of self-confidence, and nightmares. Some victims can also feel physical symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, nausea, fatigue, and panic attacks. Bullying can even lead to academic problems, including dropping out of school. In a few cases – and only one case is too

many – the pain caused by bullying can cause the victim to consider committing suicide. No one should have to feel wounded or humiliated or live in fear or isolation. Let’s all unite to eradicate bullying. Are you, or one of your friends, a victim of bullying? Is your child a victim, or perhaps even the bully?

Children and the Web Lifestyle - The start of a new school year is always a good opportunity to remind children about a few safety rules: don’t talk to strangers,

cross the road at intersections and stay on the sidewalks. However, in this era of the Internet, another important element should never be forgotten: Internet safety. Even though computers, tablets and smart phones are great for staying in touch or for doing school work, the fact remains that danger lurks on the Internet, including cyberbullying and cyber predators. Prudence is just as necessary on the Web as it is elsewhere.

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

Because of this, careful supervision is vital. In fact, it is recommended to set up the computer in a communal area of the home so that parents can keep an attentive eye on the use their children make of it. If parents believe that their child is the victim of entrapment or bullying, they should be aware that they do have recourse against this type of criminal activity.

First of all, children should never use a nickname that reveals their age. They should never, ever accept an invitation from someone who asks them not to talk about it to other people. Parents must also make their children aware of the consequences of one of the most dangerous activities on the Web – the posting of sexy or suggestive photos. Once on the Internet, these images can circulate nonstop, long into the future. This issue has caused plenty of grief for many a young woman.

Here comes Kidney Walk! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - This year’s Kidney Walk in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 8 will even have mystery walkers. If that is a mystery to you, here’s how it will work: each walker will be given a number at registration time. A number of businesses along the walk route along Stittsville Main Street have picked a number of a walker to congratulate with a small prize. These mystery numbers will be displayed in the windows or lawns of the businesses. Walkers will have to be on the lookout for their particular number. This is just one more thing to try to make this year’s second annual Kidney Walk in Stittsville bigger and better than last year’s which itself was quite a success. Whether it is to take part as a participant in the stroll along Stittsville Main Street that day or creating a team to participate in the Walk or donating online or being there to cheer others on or perhaps bringing the kids or grandchildren out for the Walk’s associated Funday Sunday activities, there is still time to sift through these choices and select the one that appeals to you the most. The big push right now for the organizers at the Stittsville United Church is to find more people willing to create teams to participate in the Walk and raise funds for the battle against kidney disease. Indeed, for this year’s second annual Kidney Walk in Stittsville, the fundraising goal has been increased. That’s because last year’s inaugural walk exceeded its goal of $10,000. So, this year the goal has been set higher at $15,000. This means there is a need for more participants, more sponsors and more donors. The organizing team headed by Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, herself a kidney transplant recipient, and Ruth Richardson is hoping to have twice as many walkers out for this year’s Walk compared to last year’s successful first-ever Kidney Walk in Stittsville. So, consider getting together with neighbours or friends or work colleagues or club members and turn out for this year’s Kidney Walk. On Sunday, Sept. 8, the Walk will again start at 11 a.m. at the church steps of Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road and then proceed along Stittsville Main Street to Papa

Sam’s at Beverly Street which will be the turning around point. Then it’s back to the church. At the church, there will be Funday Sunday activities including a BBQ sponsored by Stittsville Sobeys, two hours of entertainment by local jazz band Fonograph and children’s activities like an inflatable obstacle course and a bouncy castle. Participants in the Walk will receive blue t-shirts showing support for people with kidney disease. The Walk along Stittsville Main Street will be like a “sea of blue” washing along the street. Stittsville has a number of kidney patients struggling with kidney disease as well as transplant donors and recipients who wish to give back. That’s why the Kidney Walk was started last year and continues this year. Among those involved this year are Mary Anne Graham and her husband Bill who live in Stittsville. Mary Anne gave Bill one of her kidneys and so they are big supporters of organ donations. Laptop computers will be set up on the day of the Walk so that people can sign up online to donate their organs after death if they so wish. One in ten Canadians suffers from kidney disease while many others are at risk. Nearly 10,000 Ontarians depend on dialysis treatments while over 1,000 people in Ontario are waiting for a kidney transplant. In addition, many others live with reduced kidney function. The Kidney Foundation works to improve the lives of people affected by kidney disease through supporting research, advocating with government, peer support, education and programs. Kidney Walks are taking place in more than 40 communities across the province this year including here in Stittsville. For more information about this Kidney Walk coming up in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 8, please contact Elizabeth Hochester-Hurst at 613-836-6847, Ruth Richardson at 613-836-8735 or Craig Dunbar, a Stittsville resident and kidney disease patient who works for the Kidney Foundation at 1-613-724-9953, ext. 4562. Registration for Stittsville’s Kidney Walk can be done online right now at www.kidneywalk.ca.

Golf tournament to help 56ers split first two games Special to the News

family struck by cancer Special to the News

Sports - Having a fun time on the golf course. Awesome. Helping raise funds to help a family whose child has been struck with a life threatening disease. Inspiring. Doing both at the same time. Priceless. But this is what you can do on Thursday, Sept. 19 when the third annual John Shouldice Memorial Golf Tournament takes place at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville. It not only offers lots of golfing with a BBQ lunch, shotgun start and dinner but also it is directing all of the funds raised to the Rose family of Dunrobin whose daughter Bridget has been diagnosed with cancer. The six year old was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor (kidney cancer) at CHEO in June where it was also discovered that the cancer had spread to her lung and lymph nodes. Helping the families of children who are facing life threatening illnesses and who are facing possible enormous expenses in seeking treatments has become a quickly-developed tradition for this tournament. At the initial tournament, the funds went to help a girl in such a situation while last year, the funds raised, some $8,500, were given to the Jude family whose son Bryce was battling a rare

form of cancer. Sadly Bryce died just days before the tournament but the funds raised went to help the family deal with the huge expenditures which it had accumulated in seeking treatment and care for Bryce. For this year’s third annual John Shouldice Memorial Golf Tournament, the agenda will be registration at the Canadian Golf and Country Club at 11 a.m., a BBQ lunch at 11:30 a.m., a shotgun start at 1 p.m., cocktails at 5:30 p.m. and dinner at 6:30 p.m. The registration cost is $130 per person. Registration can be done online at the Canadian Golf and Country Club website. Registration deadline is Thursday, Sept. 5. Those interested can also attend the dinner only. Again online registration is available at the Canadian Golf and Country Club website. For information about the tournament including sponsorship opportunities, please contact Sharon Shouldice at 613-836-5191 or via email at sharonshouldice@icloud.com. John Shouldice, in whose memory and honour the tournament is held, was a long time resident of the Stittsville community who was involved in many sports and charitable activities. He died from cancer in June, 2002.

Sports - It’s all tied up after two games. The Stittsville 56ers and Carp 14C Victory have split the first two games of their best-of-five Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoff series. The 56ers lost 4-3 to Carp in the opening game of the series in Carp on Tuesday, Aug. 19. But the 56ers came back in convincing style the next night, Wednesday, Aug. 21, defeating the visiting Carp team 8-2 in a game at Alexander Grove in Stittsville.

The playoff series resumes this week, with a game in Carp on Tuesday, Aug. 27 and a return match at the Grove in Stittsville on Wednesday, Aug. 28. The Stittsville 56ers had a record of six wins, ten losses and one tie in the regular season. Carp 14C Victory had a record of ten wins, five losses and one tie. The Greater Ottawa Fastball League had eight teams this season with the addition of the Micksburg Twins. The Stittsville 56ers played in the league’s South Division along R0012279830/0829

with Kars Aces, Manotick Blitz and Barrhaven Broadway Blues. Teams in the North Division included Carp 14C Victory, Quyon Flyers, Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric and Micksburg Twins. The Greater Ottawa Fastball League and its predecessor, the Kemptville Men’s Fastball League, have been around since the year 2000. The Stittsville 56ers have been a team in the league since the beginning. During that time, the Stittsville 56ers have won two league championships, defeating Team Easton in the finals in 2008 and beating Quyon in the finals in 2009.

Mary Cook’s Memories

Being bored with minutes ticking by slow as molasses

The day was dragging on too slowly to suit me. It was late summer and my Saturday chores had been done hours before. Neither of my best friends could come to play. I was bored beyond belief. I sat on the cement step surrounding the boards at the pump in the middle of the yard and curled dandelion stems just the way my sister Audrey had taught me. They were laid out before me like a pile of pale green pencils. From the same cement stoop, I had played jacks, but without someone to play with I soon tired of that, too. Then I braided long pieces of grass, another talent I learned from Audrey. I picked up stones around the pump with my toes, piling them neatly on the platform. Finally, I resorted to letting them plop down the well between the boards, listening to them drop in the well water below. It was a hot day for late summer. My three brothers had gone to the Bonnechere River for a swim and Audrey was visiting her friend Iva on the next farm. There was nothing for me to do. I had dressed and undressed my dolls too often to count and even Sport, our old collie, wasn’t interested in fetching a stick I threw out from my perch on the platform. I thought of going into the house and telling Mother I was bored and there was nothing to do, but I knew from past experience what kind of a reply that would earn me. “Well, get the ball of string out of the cupboard and knit a dishcloth. That will keep you busy for a while.” I hated knitting dishcloths with a passion. I hated knitting with a passion. Once my sister started me on making a scarf of bright red wool and it didn’t take long to see that something was drastically wrong when what I had knitted was turning into a complete circle.

Audrey admitted there was a good possibility I would never be a knitter. I heard her say “hopeless” under her breath. Making dishcloths out of a ball of string that had come in pieces from Briscoe’s General Store was low on my list of fun things to do. For some reason, I was always able to manage to create what could pass for a dish rag, even though I hated every last stitch I made. Beads of sweat were on my nose and I looked over at the house with its blinds down and the kitchen door tightly closed. I knew it would be cooler inside than where I was sitting, but what was I going to do when I went in? The house would be as dark as Mother could make it to keep out the summer heat and I knew the Findlay Oval would be out. Mother had a talent for working when there was very little light. I pictured her sitting at the table stringing beans or peeling potatoes or doing some other kitchen chore that didn’t require open windows. I went to the swing in the grape arbour. It was cooler, but not much, and there sure wasn’t any fun in swinging by myself. The minutes ticked by as slow as molasses in January. Well, there was nothing to do but head for the kitchen door. Maybe Mother would raise the blinds and I could look through the new Eaton’s catalogue that had arrived in the mail that week or maybe draw with the bits of chalk mother kept in a Watkin’s Baking Powder tin on the floor in front of the back door that lead upstairs. The rule was as soon as we finished it had to be washed off completely. I opened the back door and just as I thought, Mother was at the kitchen table in the dim light stringing beans. I shuffled in, letting out a big sigh, trying to gain sympathy from Mother, who could, as Audrey would say, “read any one of us like a book.” “Nothing to do, eh?” I knew right away I was caught. Mother took her eyes off the beans long enough to nod her head towards the back-to-the wall cupboard. That’s all it took was one nod. I let out a big sigh. In fact, I sighed all the way to the cupboard. I reached into the basket that always sat on the bottom shelf and took out the ball of string and the knitting needles sticking out of it. I got no sympathy from Mother as I headed for the kitchen door and the swing, with the string and the knitting needles. Never, ever in the 1930’s did you say you were bored and there was nothing to do if you were seven years old. In fact, all you had to do was look bored and you knew what your fate was. Another string dish cloth would soon join the other pile in drawer in the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society will be holding its first meeting of the fall on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville, with guest speaker Brian Carson speaking on the topic “Ottawa Valley Trilliums: Search & Discovery.”

Special to the News

News - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is looking for singers for the coming year. While the first formal rehearsal will not be taking place until Sunday, Sept. 29, singers are expected to know their music before that date. This is how just two months of rehearsals are needed prior to the group’s Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 1. And now to singers learn their music prior to the first rehearsal? Well, binders of music will be issued to singers by the middle of August, giving lots of time for each singer to become familiar with the voice part that is to be sung. To assist with this learning, West Ottawa Ladies Chorus music director Robert Dueck is preparing mp3 files of all of the group’s fall term music for each voice part. Each singer will receive this to assist with learning the particular voice part that applies. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is looking for ladies who have some choir experience as well as an ability to blend, match pitch and sing a designated voice part. Basic to intermediate sight reading skills would be an asset. From Sept. 29 through to the Dec. 1st Christmas concert, there will be two weekly rehearsals, with singers expected to attend at least one of them. The rehearsals will take place on Sunday afternoons and Tuesday afternoons. Those interested in pursing this singing opportunity with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus should call music director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or at LadiesChorus@bell.net to arrange for participation in a group minimusic rehearsal for new recruits and to receive the binder of sheet music for the fall term. This will happen sometime in the last two weeks of August. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus operates in two terms, fall and spring, with each term leading up to a concert – the Christmas concert for the fall term and the spring concert for the spring term. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is the music director for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Bonnie MacDiarmid serves as the group’s accompanist. The group’s Christmas concert will be held on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 1 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata. Guest performers will include the Trinity Hilltop Handbell Ringers of Kanata as well as a guest tenor soloist.

Chipotle meatloaf muffins Girls hockey open house on Saturday, Sept. 7 are new twist on old classic Special to the News

Lifestyle - Cooking meatloaf in a muffin pan cuts the cooking time in half and serving it with mashed potatoes and green beans makes for comfort food with a bit of a kick. If you have leftovers, chop and place them in a tortilla with lettuce, cheese and a spoonful of salsa for a quick lunch. If desired, heat briefly in the microwave. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 21 to 31 minutes. Makes 12 muffins. Ingredients 1 small onion, chopped 1/2 a sweet yellow pepper, chopped 10 ml (2 tsp) vegetable oil 750 g (1-1/2 lb) extra-lean ground beef 1 egg, lightly beaten 300 ml (1-1/4 cups) mild or medium salsa (mild or medium) 75 ml (1/3 cup) cornmeal 25 ml (2 tbsp) pureed canned chipotle pepper with adobo sauce

1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt Pinch pepper Preparation In microwaveable bowl, combine the onion, yellow pepper and oil. Cover and microwave on high for 1 minute to slightly soften the mixture. In a large bowl, combine the meat, onion mixture, egg, 3/4 cup (175 mL) of the salsa, cornmeal, pureed chipotle, and salt and pepper. Divide the meat mixture among 12 muffin cups, pressing down lightly. Spoon 10 ml (2 tsp) of the remaining salsa on each muffin. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in centre of each muffin reaches 71 C (160 F). Let the muffins stand for five minutes before removing them from the pan. For the chipotle, puree the entire can of peppers with adobo sauce until smooth. Transfer remainder to an airtight container and freeze to use later in chili, soup, barbecue sauce or with mayo for a spicy vegetable dip or sandwich spread.
