Going to the dogs! John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The Stittsville Villa went to the dogs on Wednesday, Aug. 26 – literally. The Stittsville Villa Revera Retirement Community on Stittsville Main Street held a “Dog Days of Summer� event to celebrate National Dog Day. And in keeping with this dog theme, the Villa was visited by two dogs from Moose Lake Labradors, a kennel in Kanata which breeds Labrador Retrievers and indeed has been home to 30 Canadian champions. The two dogs were Nike, a three year old black Labrador, and Shania, a four year old yellow Labrador, who arrived for the afternoon visit with their owner Laurie Quenneville of Moose Lake Labradors. Both Nike and Shania come from the British line of Labrador Retrievers who are a little shorter and calmer in disposition than the North American branch of the breed. See DOGS, page 3

Executive director Cowan also noted that Villa residents are allowed to have dogs at the retirement facility and there have been two residents in the past who have had dogs. Indeed, Revera does welcome dogs living with their owners in Revera retirement communities, although an evaluation is done to ensure that the owner is able to care for the pet and that the pet can interact safely with other residents and staff. If a pet cannot live with its owner, family and friends are encouraged to bring the pet to the residence often for a visit with the owner. “We know that for many people, their pets are a beloved part of their family,� says Stephen Foster, Chief Operating Officer of Revera. “We do everything we can to ensure that people moving into our communities have the choice to bring their pet with them.�

The lounge area at the Stittsville Villa was filled with residents, anxious to meet and pet the two dogs. And that’s what happened, as the dogs were taken around the room by owner Quenneville as well as by Villa staff, with residents getting the opportunity to pet the dogs and enjoy them up close. Throughout the day, family and friends of Villa residents brought their own dogs in to the Villa for the enjoyment of the residents in keeping with the “Dog Days of Summer� theme of the day. Indeed, Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera executive director Lisa Cowan even brought her dog in for a visit. It also is a five year old Labrador Retriever from the Moose Lake Labradors kennel. A wall near the Villa entrance featured two resident-made posters highlighting the “Dog Days of Summer.� One of the posters even featured the names of various dogs which had been owned by Villa residents at some point in their lives – names such as Perky, Tigo, Gizno, Trix and Buffy.

‘Dog Days of Summer’ event celebrates National Dog Day Continued from page 3

This “Dog Days of Summer” event at the Stittsville Villa Seniors Retirement Community by Revera was held to celebrate National Dog Day which was first held in 2004. It has been held on Aug. 26 of each year, although it is now going to be moving to Aug. 31 so that it does not conflict with Women’s Equality Day, a day of recognition and observation for women’s

rights. National Dog Day serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year and to acknowledge family dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep people safe and bring comfort to people. Moose Lake Labradors began in 1996, taking its name Moose Lake as it was located on the shore of Moose Lake near Val Des Bois

in Quebec. The kennel is now located on an eight acre site in Kanata. Over the years Moose Lake Labradors has produced top conformation champions, therapy dogs, titled hunting dogs, titled competitive obedience dogs and, perhaps most importantly, great family pets. It breeds quality healthy Labrador Retrievers with exemplary temperament, breed type and structural soundness. All of its pups are registered with the Canadian Kennel Club. At the July 2014 Eastern Ontario Labrador Breeders Association Specialty Show, Nike, aka MooseLake In Motion, one of the dogs who visited the Stittsville Villa, won the “Best in Breed” award. Many Revera retirement communities across the country, just like at the Stittsville Villa, held special events to mark national Dog Day this year. Events included dog visits, dog-themed activities and other happenings.

Research suggests that a pet such as a dog can have measureable health benefits for older adults. Pets can help keep people mentally and physically healthy. Studies show that pet owners have lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Interacting with animals has also been reported to increase self-esteem and life satisfaction. “We love having dogs move in to our retirement communities with their owners,” says Revera Chief Operating Officer Foster. “There is a myth out there that people can’t bring their dogs with them when they move to a retirement community. But at Revera, we have a petfriendly policy because we recognize that pets are an important part of people’s lives, and in fact they significantly add to the quality of life for seniors.” Revera owns or operates more than 500 senior living properties across Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.

NOTICE OF OPEN HOUSE LEMIEUX ISLAND WPP INTAKE IMPROVEMENTS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT

The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water PuriďŹ cation Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the ow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or signiďŹ cantly restricted plant ows, which put the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). The ďŹ nal deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be ďŹ led and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. The purpose of this upcoming Public Information Centre is to present the draft recommendation for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. Residents and other interested parties are invited to drop-in anytime during the Public Information Centre for the opportunity for further information about the project and the Environmental Assessment process. Staff from the City and the consulting team will be available to explain the project and answer questions. Project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website (http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/publicconsultations). A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project. Comments are welcome at any time during the study. For further information, contact: AndrĂŠ Bourque, P. Eng.

Among those on hand to welcome Nichols to Stittsville were Korean War veteran Johnny Leroux and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Bagpiper Jordan McConnell was also on hand, providing some welcome music for the occasion. Nichols is a Canadian Forces veteran who hopes that this horseback ride across Canada will raise awareness of the physical and mental health challenges faced by today’s current veterans. He began his horseback ride across last April in Victoria, B.C. and plans to continue through to the East Coast, ďŹ nishing in early November in St. John’s, Nd. Along the horseback journey, Nichols has been joined for other veterans

who have ridden along with him for part of the ride which has now covered ďŹ ve provinces. Nichols was in Ottawa last Sunday as he was continuing his ride. Along the way, Nichols and the others involved with the ride are encouraging veterans to tell their stories. It is hoped that by the time that the ride reaches the Atlantic coast, the stories of over 700 Canadian veterans will have been heard. The Communities for Veterans Foundation believes that Canadians need to know the stories of the country’s veterans, whether they be veterans of World War Two or of peacekeeping missions or of international operations like the Afghanistan mission. Knowing the stories of these veterans will help in decisions on how to help them and how to support them. Canada has over 540,000 veterans whose average age is 56 years old. “The Ride Across Canadaâ€? started in Victoria, B.C. and will end in St. John’s, Nd. It is expected that the ride will take an estimated 211 days.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Parks deserve our full attention

A

piecemeal process to fund new parks – and improvements in existing parks – is being considered by the city. And that’s a mistake. Parks benefit everyone. You may not use a park on the other side of the city, but all Ottawans deserve some greenspace. The city should act like we are one community and think big, not parochially. When a developer builds new homes, they pitch in development fees towards new local parks. If there is no space for a park, the developer pays cash-in-lieu of parkland. The city’s planning committee made a mistake when it suggested some of that cash-in-lieu should be used for life-cycle repairs in parks. City council should dump the idea and pay for park maintenance from a central annual budget. If the development fees are used to maintain an existing park, then we all lose out on new space or new amenities. The slippery slope ends with the real maintenance budget being reduced so development fees can pay the cost.

Council is elected to decide priorities. Simply shifting money between silos is a recipe for fewer and poorer parks in the long run. Real games in real parks are a good thing. A shell game isn’t appreciated. The mayor and the rest of council should set aside money in the annual budget that ensures parks are well kept and suitably equipped for the residents in the neighbourhood. That’s worked up to now, so why take a chance on creating a second tier of funding and potentially a system of parks with different levels of upkeep depending on which ward they are located within? At the same time, council should tackle the issue of “promotional� plaques. It is a mistake to allow elected public officials to erect any commemorative item bearing their own name. They are already paid to do the job of councillor or mayor, and any money “they� pay to have their name engraved on a city asset is really taxpayers’ money. If there’s a good place to spend money, it’s on parks. But the last thing a penny should be spent on is a plaque telling us who signed the cheque.

Champions of summer

B

aseball in Ottawa has had its ups and downs – the uppest being when the Ottawa Lynx, playing before the largest crowds in the league, won the International League championship in 1995; the downest being when the Ottawa Rapidz folded and the stadium on Coventry Road was empty for the 2009 season. It is difficult to predict how potential fans will behave in this city. People have gone broke trying. Back in the ’90s, Lynx games were the place to be. Everybody you knew was there. Then, all of a sudden, it all vanished. There are many explanations having to do with major league affiliation, the parking, the location, miserable spring weather, various ownership decisions. But it boils

So did the Fat Cats, who lasted a little longer. It was fun to go to those games, but not enough people did. Now we are nearing the end of the first season of the Ottawa Champions.

Winnipeg Goldeyes that drew 10,000 people. In terms of the product on the field, as teams are sometimes called by accountants, there is no reason why the Champions should not be a huge success next year. It’s good ball they play – making all the routine plays smoothly and making the difficult ones too. In one game I saw the right fielder doubling the runner off first after catching a line drive, the catcher gunning a runner down at second trying to steal. They beat out a beautiful bunt single down the first base line. And the opposing right fielder made a magnificent throw to gun down an Ottawa at home plate. The pitching on both sides was strong, the umpiring was professional. And good things were happening off the field too.

The food was all right, the parking fine. A nice touch was the late-inning garbage pickup: environmentally conscious fans walked considerable distances in the stadium to present their debris to the guy with a big garbage bag. The 50-50 draw was popular. Later in the season were such events as the ice bucket challenge, kids getting to run the bases and get autographed balls from the players. I could do without the playing of Sweet Caroline in the eighth inning, an imitation of something done at Fenway Park. And I think YMCA has had its day. Judging by the scarcity of people dancing to it, the fans are now unresponsive to it too. Something

‘Pedal to the music’ at Gaia Java john.curry@metroland.com

Put the “Pedal to the metal” is a well-known phrase that arose out of pushing an automotive gas pedal right to the floor to attain the highest speed possible but which has come to refer also to giving full effort in trying to achieve something. After Vincent Bishop’s performance at the music evening at the Gaia Java coffee company shop in

Stittsville last Friday, another phrase might be coined, namely “Pedal to the music.” That’s because Vincent used a loop pedal to layer his vocals and sometimes his guitar chords, delivering balanced harmonies in a unique way. A loop pedal is an effects pedal that can record a section of music sung or played on an instrument and then plays the music back. It allows a musician/singer to re-play a vocal phrase or musical chord over and

over again or for a set amount of repetitions. Suddenly the solo performer can produce more than one sound, be it vocal or instrumental. And this is what Vincent did throughout his performance at the Gaia Java shop, delivering a multi-dimensional musical sound thanks not only to his talent but also thanks to his loop pedal system, activated by a foot pedal. Among the songs which Vincent presented in his performance at the Gaia Java shop was a movement filled rendition of bobby McFerrin’s 1988 smash hit “Don’t Worry, Be Happy,” including whistling and lots of movement around the performance area. No wonder this song won both Song of the Year and Record of the Year in the 1989 Grammy Awards as it has a memorable, haunting and uplifting melody as evidenced in Vincent’s rendition of the song. Vincent also sang his own compositions which you will be able to hear on his debut album called “Out of the Dark” which will be released this fall, probably in November. The music in this debut album will reveal various musical influences on Vincent including reggae, rock, hip hop, jazz, folk and pop. The album is meant to be a reflection of a journey through and out of difficult times and emotions, largely inspired by Vincent’s passage through his teenage years. Although the album will be primarily targeted at a late teen and young adult audience, it is likely to attract some older listeners because of the maturity of some of the emotional content in the music. This album has been a seven month long project that has involved 20 musicians and singers as well as Vincent himself. The album will showcase Vincent’s talent for arrangements of vocals and instrumentation. An example of Vincent’s music on this upcoming album can be found at his website at http://vincentbishop. bandcamp.com/ where a track of the song “Single Life” can be heard or even downloaded. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend. There is no admission charge. However, there will be no music evening this coming Friday, Sept. 4 since it is the Labour Day weekend. The Friday music evenings will be resuming as of Friday, Sept. 11.

PUBLIC MEETINGS All public meetings will be held at Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, unless otherwise noted. For a complete agenda and updates, please sign up for email alerts or visit Public Meetings and Notices on ottawa.ca, or call 3-1-1.

CITY COUNCIL APPROVED STITTSVILLE MAIN STREET CDP I am happy to tell you know that the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan (CDP) was unanimously approved by City Council this week. It is a project that has been in the making for two years, since I first initiated the process by requesting the City undertake a CDP. I am very pleased that it has finally come to fruition. With this CDP, property owners along Stittsville Main Street have some definitive guidelines in order to be able to develop their properties. I feel over the years, Stittsville Main Street has been lacking a blueprint for its development. This CDP now provides for a creation of a vibrant Main Street in future. I would like to thank the Stittsville community for their active role in working with the City’s Planning Department and my office in order to see this project reach this milestone. I especially want to thank the City Planner Mark Young who took the lead to help complete this project. I feel the CDP process was an excellent opportunity to include the community in the plans for the future development of our Main Street. BLACKSTONE TRANSIT COMMUNITY SHUTTLE Residents and guests in the Blackstone and Fernbank Crossing communities will have access to a free Community Shuttle, provided by area home builders. This is a unique arrangement has been planned in cooperation with OC Transpo, as the City of Ottawa has developed policies to encourage transit use as early as possible in new, developing communities. For more information visit my website. STITTSVILLE MAIN STREET STALLED DEVELOPMENT I have continued to receive inquires from residents regarding the status of the stalled Reverie development located at 1491 & 1493 Stittsville Main St, located across from Manchester Street.

I was opposed to this development when it was first brought to the table in 2010 as I felt the design did not fit in the village from the perspective of what is considered a traditional Main Street. This was one of the reasons I requested the City to develop the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan.

FERNBANK AND ROBERT GRANT INTERSECTION CONSTRUCTION The Fernbank Landowners Group (FLOG) will be undertaking intersection modifications for the intersection of Fernbank Road and Robert Grant Avenue as part of the Fernbank Community Development. Fernbank for approximately 350m on either side of Robert Grant Avenue will be impacted. Construction is expected to begin on or about August 31st and be completed on or about December 4th, 2015 (when the new Traffic Control Signals will be operational). Stittsville News - Thursday, September 3, 2015 9

Unfortunately, I am beginning this week’s column with some bad news that just came to my attention Monday morning. As you may or may not know, the City opposed a zoning amendment with regard to the Barnsdale Lands. SpeciďŹ cally, the addresses in question are 3552, 3680, 3806, 3818, 3882 Barnsdale Road; 3872, 3971, 3976 Greenbank Road; 3894, 3910, 3972 Prince of Wales Drive. The amendment would have seen those lands rezoned from Agricultural to General Rural. As stated, the City opposed the amendment, City Council supported that opposition and the zoning amendment was defeated. However, as per usual, the applicant appealed the decision to the Ontario Municipal Board. The rationale for the City’s opposition was that we are in the middle of an update to our Land Evaluation & Area Review and the zoning amendment was premature. That is a position that I fully support and I have been working with staff to ensure that we complete our LEAR update as soon as possible. The applicant argued that their zoning amendment shouldn’t be held up by the LEAR and, for some reason, the OMB agreed. This is quite disappointing as our LEAR update is a cooperative effort between the City of Ottawa and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food & Rural Affairs. Seeing as the OMB is also a Provincial body, I’m concerned that Agricultural lands are not getting the protection they need. Municipalities, like Ottawa, can oppose agricultural re-designation all we want but if the Province isn’t going to back us up, we won’t stand a chance. All to say, the Barnsdale lands are now zoned as General Rural.

Supporting ‘Mission To A Million’ Special to the News

Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” campaign is getting lots of support these days. On Saturday, Aug. 15, three different fundraisers raised money for Tysen’s campaign in support of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. There was $100 collected at the Capital Gaming Expo where the Capital City Garrison of the 501st Legion accepted donations for the “Mission To A Million” in return for having a photo taken with the Capital City Garrison Star Wars characters. Also on Saturday, Aug. 15, a washer tournament was held in Almonte, with $1,483.22 raised for Tysen’s campaign. The tournament was held at the Almonte home of Corey Logan and was organized by Justin Hemsley. Also on that same day, Saturday, Aug. 15, a “Taste of Manotick” event saw $415 collected for the “Mission To A Million” campaign. On Sunday, Aug. 16, Stittsville sisters Shannon and Katie Wallace collected $207 for Tysen’s campaign at a birthday party where donations to the campaign were collected instead of birthday gifts. The Cheshire Cat restaurant at Carp Road and Richardson Sideroad just north of highway 417 has given $1,552.50 to Tysen’s campaign as the

funds raised from the sale of tickets for its famous Steam Whistle toboggan. In addition, the Cheshire Cat is directing funds raised at its upcoming golf tournament to Tysen’s “Mission To A Million.” This tournament is being held on Sunday, Sept. 20 at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville. Golfers are still being welcomed for this tournament. It’s $500 for a foursome which includes golf carts, a sandwich and beverage on the course and dinner. For more information or to sign up for the tournament, email cheshirecatpub@ gmail.com or phone 613-831-2183. And while collecting all of these funds raised for the “Mission To A Million,” Tysen is still on hand at wishes granted thanks to funds raised by the campaign. Last Saturday, wish number 32 funded by the “Mission To A Million” campaign was granted at the Dunrobin Meats and Grocery golf tournament at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club on Carp Road. Four year old Owen from Almonte, who suffers from Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy, was the recipient. Unfortunately, Owen was sick and could not attend the wish reveal at the tournament but he was able to hear his wish granted through a Facebook phone. His wish was to go to Disney World.

The 240 golfers at the tournament all cheered as his wish was revealed. A total of $25,000 was raised by the tournament for Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” campaign. Tysen also recently delivered a wish package to Issac who was the youngster who had his wish for a Disney Cruise revealed at the Patten Homes/Cavanagh Construction fundraiser in Stittsville back in May. Tysen Lefebvre, who is 15 years old, has raised over $300,000 to date on the way to the goal of his “Mission To A Million” campaign which is to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, enough to fund the granting of 100 wishes to youngsters. Tysen, who graduated from Goulbourn Middle School last June, was born with a rare genetic disorder called Pfeiffer Syndrome. So far in his life, he has had over 26 surgeries, beginning when he was only nine days old. Tysen had his own wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario when he got to fly to Los Angeles and meet Adam Sandler, his favourite actor. He was so inspired by Adam’s generosity that he decided that he too wanted to give back, just like Adam does. This led to Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” campaign on behalf of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario.

Cameron Bisson signs with Ice Dogs Special to the News

The road to advancement and success in hockey does not always mean playing summer hockey, attending elite hockey schools and pursuing power skating courses. Just ask 16 year old Cameron Bisson of Stittsville who has just signed a contract with the Niagara Ice Dogs of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) after being selected in the third round (51st overall) in the OHL draft last April. Cameron started in minor hockey in Stittsville in the 2005/06 season as most kids do, playing in the initiation program at five years of age. But the mouth guard and cold feet did not appeal to Cameron and so he abandoned hockey after that initial season, pursing basketball in 2006 and Tae Kwon Do in 2007. But in the 2007/08 season, Cameron returned to hockey as a goalie, playing House B Novice, and work-

ing his way up to be the Competitive B Stittsville Rams goalie in the 2008/09 season. Then, for the 2009/10 season, when he was nine years old, Cameron decided to play as a forward. Since he had never played hockey on regular skates, he re-started his hockey career in the Atom A house league, learning to skate properly. After leading the Peewee A house league in both points and penalty minutes in the 2010/11 season, Cameron earned a spot on the Silver Seven Peewee A competitive team. He again led the league in points in this 2011/12 season. In the 2012/13 season at the minor bantam level, Cameron played AAA hockey for the first time with the Ottawa Valley Titans. In his second season (2013/14), Cameron was protected by the Kemptville 73’s of the Central Canada Hockey League (Junior A tier 1).

Last season, the 2014/15 campaign, Cameron played AAA hockey for the third year in a row, this time at the minor midget level. He was selected in the third round by the Niagara Ice Dogs of the OHL, was selected to play in Hockey Canada’s Gold Cup representing Hockey Eastern Ontario (HEO) and was selected to and attended Hockey Canada’s World Under 17 Camp in Calgary last month, making him one of the top 108 players in the 1999 age group in the country. Cameron has never played spring or summer hockey. He has not attended an elite hockey school or pursued power skating courses or travelled to expensive hockey camps. His summers are spent fitness training, playing other sports and growing as a well rounded overall athlete. Cameron is now attending the Niagara Ice Dogs pre-season training camp in St. Catharines, ON.

Meet and Greet/Registration Evening for ‘Be Your Best’ Special to the News

The Be Your Best Confidence Building Performing Arts School is back in Stittsville for another year. Founder and director Jennifer Lea Laale is offering the program for the third straight year in Stittsville, with a Meet and Greet and Registration Evening being held on Thursday, Sept. 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend this Meet and Greet and Registration Evening. More information about the program can be discovered by

contacting Jennifer at Jennifer@beyourbest.ca or by calling her at 613-256-8228. As a high performance team skills facilitator, presentation and performance coach and performing arts teacher, Jennifer has been providing the program in communities and schools for 20 years. The ‘Be Your Best” program is not only about theatre arts but also about doing your best at whatever you do. The program is particularly effective in showing youngsters what they can achieve when they believe in themselves. Jeff Semple, a former student who is now a CBC Radio and TV personality, sums up the

program and its impact as follows: “All these shy and timid kids would show up for her classes and suddenly be transformed into stand up comedians or dancers and singers. Jennifer teaches drama which counts on the stage. But she also teaches self confidence which counts just about everywhere.” Jennifer introduced positive ideas and interpersonal skills to youth through the use of the performing arts including improv, musical theatre, glee, film and TV and more. In her classes and workshops, she strives to teach her students the importance of being themselves, including others and being positive.

“Be Your Best” classes and workshops are not only fun and creative but provide a break for youth, aged 6 to 18 years, away from the stresses of competition and peer pressure. Barbara McLaughlin, a teacher at Westwind Public School in Stittsville, has seen how Jennifer’s classes and workshops work in developing life skills and building self-confidence. Here’s what she says about Jennifer’s program: “Proof of the value of these workshops became clearly evident when one of my students referenced a confidence boosting strategy learned from the “Improve with Improv” workshop to deliver his biography presentation.”

Sean McCoy loves going to work at his Aperitivo restaurant John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Working in the high tech industry, Sean McCoy hated going to work every day. Now, completing three years owning and operating a restaurant, his attitude about work is totally the opposite. “I love coming into work every day,” the Stittsville resident as he sits in his restaurant Aperitivo, located in the City Walk area of the Kanata Centrum shopping area in Kanata, across from the Landmark Cinemas. It’s not a large restaurant, seating about 44 inside and another 20 on the outside patio, but it has been successful because of its food. There nothing similar food-wise in Kanata, McCoy says, praising the creativity and passion of his staff. The menu at Aperitivo changes every John Curry/Metroland two months but the kitchen staff has Sean McCoy of Stittsville, who owns the Aperitivo restaurant on the Walk at Kanata Centrum, stands in front embraced these regular changes and enjoys making them. of the restaurant.

When McCoy opened Aperitivo, he wanted the cuisine to be Mediterranean driven. Indeed, the name of the restaurant Aperitivo generates thoughts of Spanish, Italian and Portugese dining, opening up the palate to flavours often associated with those countries. Some of the best food in the world can be found in the Mediterranean countries like Italy and France, so why not aspire to provide such food, McCoy’s thinking went. Besides, his wife Jessica, whom he credits with being the pillar of support that has made his restaurant venture possible, is Italian – another reason to feature such food on the menu. McCoy was fortunate in that when he took over the previous restaurant at this site, purchasing it out of bankruptcy, three key staff members remained and are still with him. This is the chef, the sous chef and the front of house manager. See APERITIVO, page 19

EMA LEE FASHIONS TWELTH ANNIVERSARY: IT DOZEN’T TAKE LONG FOR TWELVE YEARS TO FLY BY!

Ema Lee Fashions is not your typical ladies clothing store. The store is located seven kilometers north of Perth Ontario on Hwy. 511 in the quaint hamlet of Downtown Balderson. Upon entering Ema Lee Fashions, the staff greets you and offers their friendly help. Then you stand in awe as you realize the size of the store which is filled upstairs and down with ladies apparel. But it’s not like your usual Big Box clothing store, with row upon row of the same clothing showing up in every store! This store now carries a total of 35 different lines from sizes 6 to 3X. Besides ladies clothing they have the largest collection of bathing suits in the Ottawa Valley year round, consisting of four name brand lines sizes 6 to 34. They also carry five brands of men’s shirts: Berkham, Black Ice, Platinum, Sergio Loui and Scala Milano. Regular sizes small to 2XL. For the big and tall, sizes L to 7XL and also a good selection of men’s polos “with pockets”!

Emily Desjardine and Gerry McSweeney are the owners of the store. They both have a sincere commitment to the business and their customers. It’s hard work, but they both enjoy supplying their customers with different, unique, quality clothing at reasonable prices. In order to accomplish this goal, they travel twice a year to Las Vegas and Los Angeles and choose what U.S. lines and styles they think their customers would enjoy. They also travel to Canadian Manufacturers and now carry five main Canadian Lines. The hard work has paid off because the results have been outstanding. Customers have

literally come to shop from every corner of the world— quite an accomplishment in twelve years! Both Emily and Gerry agree that it is most rewarding to see people feel good about themselves in what they have chosen to wear from their store. This Labour Day weekend from Thursday to Monday, they are having their twelfth anniversary celebration which will include many “in house” specials. Ema Lee Fashions is open 7 days a week, Monday to Saturday from 9:30 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 10:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m.

Richmond’s Bruce Makinson ends victory drought with win at Mohawk Raceway Special to the News

Bruce Makinson of Richmond is with his car, #81, as he is in the winner’s circle at the Mohawk International Raceway in New York State where he won the Sportsman DIRT car race.

Friday, Aug. 21 saw the end of a drought for dirt car racer Bruce Makinson of Richmond. That’s when he visited victory lane for the first time in over four years as he won the Sportsman race at the Mohawk International Raceway in Hogansburg, NY. And he won in style, taking control of the feature race right from the very start after winning his heat race to qualify for the feature. Indeed, he had what was acknowledged as the quickest car at the Raceway that night as he had rocketed away from the Sportsman field by six car lengths just by lap seven. He was more or less on cruise control, way out front with nearly a full straightaway lead by lap 13. But a caution flag on lap 14 brought the field back together but on the re-start, Bruce continued to lead and although challenged by driver Billy Cook, he eventually pulled away and won the race, ending his four year drought in the winner’s circle. It was Bruce’s second career win at Mohawk International Speedway. Bruce had gone to Mohawk International Raceway for the racing on Friday, Aug. 21 not knowing how his car would react. It had been a disappointing race season to date for Bruce, with car troubles plaguing his performance throughout the season. But it was a borrowed carburetor that made all the difference.

ASK YOUR CHIROPRACTOR Chiropractic Care for ear infections and hearing loss: One of the most common reasons children go to chiropractors is for ear infections. There have been numerous case series studies showing a connection between correcting function of the cervical spine through chiropractic adjustments and an improvement in ear infections. I have personally seen this many times in practice, including dramatic improvements in hearing once the chronic fluid retention reduces in the inner ear. Why, generally speaking, do we see people respond well to chiropractic care? The basic chiropractic approach, as it relates to ear infections, would be summarized as follows: UÊ / iÊ ÕÃV iÃÊÃÕÀÀ Õ ` }ÊÌ iÊ ÕÃÌ>V > ÊÌÕLiÊ>ÀiÊ yÕi Vi`ÊLÞÊÌ iÊ £ {Ê neurology.

Bruce Makinson wins Continued from page 23

It was installed at Mohawk, so late that Bruce could not take any warm up laps. So it was right to the heat race, not knowing what how the car was going to perform with the replacement carburetor. In the heat race, Bruce did not just leave his pole position – he took off like a bullet, leaving the pack behind early on and never looking back. He went on to win the heat race easily. So it was on to the feature race, with Bruce starting in the pole position. But unlike all season long when Bruce’s car would inevitably work its way backwards in a race, in this feature race Bruce took off and led the entire race, pulling away from the pack not only at the start but also in a re-start after a caution flag. Bruce definitely had the fastest car on the night, borrowed carburetor and all. The borrowed carburetor has now been returned but Bruce is hopeful that the car’s original carburetor will be repaired and

be just as good as the borrowed one going forward. Racing at the Mohawk International Raceway is winding down for the season. There’s racing again this Friday, Sept. 3 and then a year-end race on Saturday, Sept. 19. The Mohawk International Raceway offers racing for dirt car enthusiasts with racing every Friday night from May through September. Before 2008, it was known as the Frogtown International Speedway but a name change to Mohawk International Raceway in 2009 accompanied improvements which included an enhanced track, larger grandstands, new fencing, new lighting, more vendor booths, modernized concession stand and other improvements including pit area upgrades. The three/eights mile dirt oval track is home to four classes of racing including open wheeled DIRTcar 358 Modifieds, DIRTcar Sportsman, 4/6 cylinder Bandit division and the Mod Lites.

‘Discover Ringette’ on Sept. 13 Special to the News

Ringette is a game which involves lots of skating, many passes and a focus on teamwork. Many girls enjoy playing ringette but how does a parent know if the sport is what a child will want to play. Well, a good way to find out is for girls between the ages of 4 and 14 who have not tried out the sport to do just that – try it out. And you will be able to do this on Sunday, Sept. 13 when the West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) holds a free “Discover Ringette” session where girls can try out the sport. This “Discover Ringette” session is being held at the Jack sharron Arena in Kanata, running from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 13. All someone needs to participate in this “Discover Ringette” session is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves, either winter gloves or hockey gloves. Ringette sticks will be provided. In addition, there will be on-ice helpers to assist prospective new players as they rotate through a few on-ice stations which will introduce them to the sport of ringette. And, remember, it’s all free of charge. Current West Ottawa ringette players are encouraged to invite a friend to this “Dis-

cover Ringette” session in which both of them can go on the ice and have some fun together, discovering the sport of ringette. The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) draws players from the western area of the city of Ottawa including Stittsville, Goulbourn, Richmond, Kanata, West Carleton and North Gower. Both recreational and competitive ringette programs are offered to players from 7 to 18 years of age. League play runs from early October after teams are selected through mid-March. Home arenas for the WORA include arenas in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. Away games can take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau. Teams also have the opportunity to participate in tournaments throughout the season. These are opportunities where fond memories are made as the players have fun with their teammates, both on and off the ice. Girls between the ages of four and six are encouraged to join the WORA’s Bunnies program which develops skating skills while encouraging fun and making friends.

Stittsville News - Thursday, September 3, 2015 27

Creative Writing Group meeting on Thursdays Special to the News

SUBMITTED

Scrapbook donated Barbara Bottriell, centre, president of the Goulbourn Historical Society, holds a scrapbook compiled by local resident Mary Jane Argue covering the years from 1904 to 1984 which was donated to the Historical Society by Mary Jane Argue’s granddaughter Ellen Faulkner who lives in Prince George, B.C. as Ellen’s mother, Beth Burke, is at the left and Ellen’s sister, Jane Walsh, is on the right at the donating of the scrapbook to the Historical Society. Viewing the scrapbook can be arranged by contacting the Historical Society at goulbournhistoricalsociety@gmail.com .

The Creative Writing Group is beginning its fourth year. The group meets each Thursday from 6:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Members arrive each week with a story that may involve a word given to them the week before. A few have written a series of vignettes that together create a longer, larger story. The range of ages, heritages, experiences and writing styles leads to vastly different stories and techniques despite using the same key word. The stories or poems could be a biographical account, literary fiction, science fiction, fantasy, humour, history or alternate history. Each member has up to eight minutes to read his or her work. Others in the group may ask questions, say what the story means to them or offer praise. Edits, corrections and criticisms are avoided. The aim of the evening is to encourage writers to write. Many members are writing for the first time in their lives. Members can ask for critiques and

edits from other members outside of the weekly meetings. Sometimes the group has published authors join a meeting to hear members’ stories and to tell members about their own writing experience. Members also share information on writing, publishing, writing workshops and writer conferences. If someone has not written something for a meeting, the person is still encourage to attend the meeting. They can always read something else that they have written previously or can enjoy listening to what others have written. Members who are unable to be at a particular meeting are still welcome to join the group afterwards at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville. There are no fees to register or expenses for the group to cover. There are only stories to write. For more information about this Creative Writing Group or to join this group, please drop into any meeting or contact the Stittsville library at 613836-3381.

It is with heavy hearts that the Balint family of Carleton Place announces the sudden passing of husband and father, Sandor Balint, on August 25, 2015, at home. Almost a month shy of his 65th birthday, he leaves behind his wife of 34 years, Judith, daughter Virag and fiancé Nick; sons Robert and Roland; step children Laura and Zoltan; his brothers Geza, Edgard, and Zoltan abroad. He was preceded in passing by his mother Margit Szili and father Sandor Balint Sr. Born in Hungary, passing through Germany, the family immigrated to Canada in December 1988. Braving challenges of new country, different languages, he successfully became co-owner and mechanic of Sandor’s Garage/ Automotive. Avid fisherman, Pink Floyd connoisseur, ingenious inventor, masterful gardener, expert bonfire builder, culinary expert and master fixer. He had an appreciation for nature and enjoyed deep discussions on life, philosophy and history with friends and family. After his accident, being forced to close the business, meant he was able to turn his attention to what mattered most: family and friends. He is remembered in his private and professional life for his kindness, generosity and sense of humor. Always willing to try his best and go the extra mile. He is grieved by his family, friends and loyal customers. Friends may call at the Alan R. Barker Funeral Home, 19 McArthur Ave., Carleton Place, on Friday, Sept 4, 2015 with visitation from 2:00pm followed by a service in the chapel at 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Sandor may be made to Lanark Animal Welfare Society at 253 Glenview Road, Smiths Falls, ON, K7A 4S4. www.barkerfh.com

Family Day & Corn Roast at St. Paul’s John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Entertainment, games and more highlighted the Family Day & Corn Roast at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond last Saturday afternoon. The entertainment was kicked off by the ever-popular Junkyard Symphony with Junkyard Jonny himself as the conductor of this symphony which entertains both young and not so young with its hijinks involving juggling, dancing and audience involvement. So you have rubber chicken antics, plungers placed on cheeks and the top of the head, rhythmic clapping, the “Tower of Trash” featuring the juggling of empty water jugs and more – all making for great fun and amusement and all in keeping with the Junkyard Symphony message of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Rock! Other entertainment included fiddle music

by well known local fiddler Bruce Wilson, with to 20 and at the end of the day, there was plenty Gary Thompson helping out with some wooden of corn ready for the corn roast. The 4 p.m. dinner included a menu of not spoon accompaniment. Honeydrop Face painting was on hand, a only corn but potato salad, hamburgers and popular attraction for youngsters, as was a balloon artist. Games included a corn toss, a ring toss and a bean bag toss, along with crafts including colouring and making scarecrow-themed hand puppets. There was a scarecrow competition along with a “green thumb” floral contest. There was also a contest to guess the number of candies in a jar and another contest to guess how much a bowl of corn kernels weighed. Of course, a corn roast cannot happen without corn and, specifically, without corn that is husked. So there was a corn husking contest, with teams of three husking corn, with each team member husking for one minute. The number of cobs of corn husked varied from 12

pogos, along with ice cream sundaes, lemonade, ice tea and coffee. It was a great way to conclude this afternoon of fun and fellowship in the rear yard at the church.

My spouse and I are separated with children. Who pays for back to school expenses? Parents often like to joke that back-to-school is “the most wonderful time of the year.” Covering the costs of sending the kids back into the classroom also makes it quite an expensive time of year. For parents who are separated or divorced, figuring out how those expenses get shared can create stress and conflict without clear communication, a reasonable approach and a solid agreement to guide them. Some school expenses may be covered under the rules relating to “special and extraordinary expenses.” These types of expenses are typically shared in proportion to each parents’ income. Tuition and school fees, for example, are considered a special or extraordinary expense. Some expenses, however, are not typically included in this category. For example, the extra pair of indooronly, non-marking running shoes for gym; all of the usual supplies like paper, pens, binders, calculators,

The Bunny program is a learn-to-skate/introductionto-ringette program which runs every Saturday at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, alternating between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. start times. The Bunny season runs from early October to March while registration remains open throughout the season. There is also an equipment loan program for first year Bunnies, providing them with everything that they need for their first year except for skates and a helmet. This equipment loan program is available on a first come, first serve basis for 25 Bunny players. For more details about this equipment loan program, please contact registrar@ westottawaringette.com . In ringette, there are six players from each team on the ice, consisting of two forwards, one centre, two defense and one goalie. Players are not permitted to carry the ring over the two bluelines. Rather, the ring must be passed over the blueline to another player. This encourages teamwork and passing in the sport. Ringette also uses goalies and right now WORA is looking for goalies between the ages of 10 and 17. For more information, please contact recreational@westottawaringette.com . More information about the West Ottawa Ringette Association and the game of ringette can be found at www.westottawaringette.com . Online registration is now open for the 2015-2016 season. For more information about West Ottawa ringette or about the upcoming “Discover Ringette” session, please contact secretary@westottawaringette.com .

and geometry sets; or a laptop or tablet that may be necessary for school work. These items can quickly add a significant cost to the monthly budget at back-toschool time, so many parents ask, who pays and how much? The answers to those questions are not always straightforward, especially when parents disagree about such things as what is a reasonable expense, what is already included in the regular monthly child support payment, and should the expense be divided equally or proportionately between the parents? Seeking advice from an experienced family law lawyer can provide parents with the information needed to understand each parents’ obligations and responsibilities when it comes to child support, special and extraordinary expenses and any other expenses related to child-rearing.

Theft leads to new storage shed John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a good news story that came about due to a bad news happening. Earlier this year the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project at the Tom Black farm on Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn was robbed, with thieves making off with some equipment. This theft revealed that the farming project needed a more secure storage shed than the old makeshift one that was being used. With this in mind, Home Depot was approached regarding a possible discount on the purchase of a new garden shed that could be used to store the farming project’s equipment such as a rototiller. The Home Depot head office got involved along with the Kanata Home Depot and before you knew it, things started happening. Home Depot regularly takes on projects to help community groups and projects and providing a storage shed at the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project became one of them. But it was not just a garden shed. Mike Holland at the Home Depot in Kanata, who took leadership of the project, quickly realized that the farming project needed more storage space than would be provided by the typical garden shed. The project soon evolved into building a 12 foot by 20 foot storage shed at the farm property, with Home Depot and one of its suppliers, Trent Lumber, providing the lumber and materials for the building and Home Depot staff providing the volunteer labour to erect the new shed.

Mike Holland not only designed the shed but pre-constructed all of the walls, trusses and floor sections off-site so that on building day at the site on Thursday, Aug. 27, it was just a matter of putting all the pieces together for the crew of Home Depot staff which included Kanata store manager Sarge Campagna. The new shed sits on a number

of precast concrete supports sitting on a bed of crushed stone. “The theft of a couple of drills has turned into a beautiful new building for the farm” is how Ottawa Food Bank Community Harvest coordinator Jason Gray summed up the whole episode as he watched the new storage shed take shape at the site during the

Aug. 27 “shed raising” by the Home Depot staff volunteers. The new shed will not only provide more space for storage but it will be secure space, unlike the situation with the farming project’s previous unsecured shed. See KANATA HOME DEPOT, page 39

Kanata Home Depot volunteers build shed Continued from page 37

Up until now, some of the farming project’s materials such as netting and plastic for the fields had to be stored at the Ottawa Food Bank’s warehouse. With the new larger storage shed on site, this warehouse storage will not be needed, freeing up space there while also eliminating the constant transportation of the items to the planting project. It’s a win/win situation for everyone! Mike Holland of Home Depot says that providing the larger storage shed for the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project was what was needed, especially when it is realized how much fresh, organic produce is produced at the farming project. Calling it a “no brainer� is an understatement, he said. Last year the Community Harvest farming project yielded more than 73,000 pounds of

fresh produce which was distributed by the Ottawa Food Bank to its member agencies to help people in need. Holland said that this shed construction was one of the largest community projects undertaken by the Kanata Home Depot. Michael Maidment, executive director of the Ottawa Food Bank, who visited the site during the construction of the shed, said that the Community Harvest farming project is an incredibly important part of what the Food Bank does as it provides fresh organically grown vegetables and produce for the Food Bank and its clients. He said that the quality of the produce provided by the farming project is incredible and it is distributed to clients and member agencies immediately after it arrives at the warehouse. He said that there is always excitement at the Food Bank warehouse when the fresh produce arrives there fresh from the farming project.

Holiday with fair

Get ready for your next adventure abroad by learning French, German or Spanish. With over 40 classes to choose from, you will build your vocabulary and grammar that will allow you to converse with others on your business or leisure travels.

The new storage shed built at the Ottawa Food Bank’s Community Harvest farming project at the Tom Black farm on Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn is not all that is new there this year. And even more projects are in the works in the future. This year, which is the fourth year for the farming project, a total of five acres have been planted with vegetables and produce. This is one more acre than last year. Another two acres are under cultivation, planted with cover crops such as buckwheat, allowing for the rotation of crops from year to year. This year has also seen the use of two greenhouse-like structures on the site. These are not greenhouses as such but are what Community Harvest coordinator Jason Gray calls “caterpillar tunnels.� The Ottawa Food Bank was able to procure these structures thanks to grant money. The tunnels are being used to protect the tomato and pepper crops grown at the farming project. The presence of the tunnels covering the crops not only improves the yield but also results in a higher quality of product. For example, there are far fewer cracks in the ripening tomatoes. This is because the “tunnels� protect the tomatoes from the nighttime coolness and also protect them from heavy rainfalls, both causes of potential crop damage. These “tunnels� are easy to relocate on the site so that when the crops are rotated, the structure can be moved to the new site for the crops. There are plans for erecting a small greenhouse structure at the farming project site in the

near future, hopefully thanks to another grant. It will serve not only some greenhouse functions but will also serve as a much needed multi-purpose space at the site. It will be used for starting some seedlings in the spring, especially for some of the farming project’s fall crops. It will also be used to store and cure squash in the fall. But it will also be used as a shelter for volunteers who help out at the farming project throughout the summer and more importantly, it will be able to serve as an on-site location for workshops and information presentations about the farming project for youth, students and others who visit the site. There is also a hope that a shelter for the farming project’s equipment may be put up this fall with the help of farm owner Tom Black who not only has provided the land for the farming project but who has continued to be a source of help and advice for the project. This Community Harvest farming project of the Ottawa Food Bank grows a variety of fresh foods for distribution to the Food Bank’s member agencies and clients. Last year the farming project yielded more than 73,000 pounds of produce. This produce, along with produce both purchased and donated to the Food Bank, accounted last year for a record amount of 167,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables distributed to people in need. Indeed, in 2014, 47 percent of the food distributed citywide by the Ottawa Food Bank was fresh food. Community Harvest farming project coordinator Jason Gray is hopeful that this year’s yield from the farming project will be in the 75,000 to 90,000 pound range.

Produce yield may reach new total Continued from page 41

Indeed, Gray admits he is fairly certain that the farming project will smash last year’s totals, partly because there are five acres rather than four acres under cultivation this year but also because the early crops so far this year such as broccoli and cabbage have been fantastic. He believes that the final total for produce pro-

duced this year will depend on the potato yield still to come. The Ottawa Food Bank is the Ottawa area’s central food assistance organization. Working with 140 member agencies throughout the area, the Ottawa Food Bank provides food for 50,000 people per month, 37 percent of whom are children.

KEEP ON LEARNING The race to buy school supplies has begun

Lifestyle - And they’re off: the race to buy school supplies has begun. That’s right, the time has come to head out to the stores with your list at the ready in search of school supplies, clothing, backpacks, and lunch boxes. After all, you want your children to have everything they need for the school year and for their teacher’s class list. Here are a few tips to help you stay calm during all the tumult. First of all, carefully examine the list of supplies requested by the school. These detailed lists can be big orders to fill, so start early, take your time and do it right. Some stores organize their school supply section based on the lists supplied by the schools, while others offer personalized help in finding items on the list. To save yourself some money, you could check the flyers of the various stores before leaving home. You could also buy some items, such as pencils, pads of paper and exercise books, in larger quantities. That way you’ll have everything at hand if your children run out during the school year – you won’t have to go shopping yet again and pay the full price.

Keep in mind that selecting products of a lesser quality could cause you a few headaches if they break or wear out too quickly. What you should be looking for is the best quality-price ratio. Lastly, include your children in this shop-

ping trip if they express the desire to accompany you, but be sure to set certain limits before you leave home. Let them know if there is a budget for extras, and if not, remind them that they are meant to be helpers rather than shoppers.

Helping with homework

Lifestyle - Some experts believe it is a mistake for parents to think that their teenagers, no matter what their age, are old enough to take complete responsibility for their school obligations all by themselves. Even the most independent teenagers sometimes need to be encouraged to stay motivated. Your role as a parent is crucial during all of your children’s school years. Take an interest in what they do. Take the time to talk to them every day in order to know how their day went, what subjects were taught, and what they liked or disliked. Don’t be afraid to ask ques-

tions, and be attentive to their answers. The goal is to let your teenagers know that you are truly interested in their lives. If their school results are not what you’d hoped for, don’t go on and on about their weak points. Congratulate them on their efforts and help them find solutions to their problems. On the other hand, if they never seem to have any homework, it may be a sign that they are lacking confidence or commitment. Discuss this with them, check their agendas, and don’t hesitate to contact their school for more information. Re-

member that while your child is living at home, you are still their parent and it is reasonable to ask for a minimal com­ mitment from them. Encourage learning by creating a stimulating and positive atmosphere at home. Set up a work area in a quiet, well-lit room. Apart from providing an organized home office area, parents can also help their teenagers get organized. Skills that your children must learn include establishing good work habits, managing time, submitting work according to deadlines, balancing study time and relaxation time.

KEEP ON LEARNING

Stress from changing schools 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. Af-

ter 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.

Have Your Say Ottawa.ca

To reduce the risks associated with WNV, OPH is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes. This includes applying an approved mosquito repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing, wearing light colours and long sleeves, pants, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin, ensuring all screens on your home are in good working condition, and taking steps to reduce areas where mosquitoes breed by removing standing water from around your home. Empty containers, like flower pots or pool covers, turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows, clean out eavestroughs, remove unused tires, cover rain barrels with screens and drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers so that water can drain out.

While Ontario is home to many Fill outshould our survey thewatching link above different sizes and colours of ticks, keep on the lookout for the black legged tick (also called the deer tick) that may before September 15, 2015 carry the bacteria that causes Lyme Disease (LD). Symptoms of LD usually begin three days to one month after being bitten by an infected tick. Individuals that acquire LD often develop a round, red rash that slowly expands away from the tick bite resembling a “bull’s eye” pattern. Other flu-like symptoms include – fever, chills, fatigue, headache, muscle and joint pain. If left untreated, LD can cause neurological symptoms, rheumatologic symptoms or cardiac abnormalities weeks to years after onset. For those hunters and fall campers out there, ticks love to hide in tall grasses or shrubs to find and attach to a human or animal host. As a result, humans, dogs, birds and deer populations are all ideal hosts for ticks.

To protect yourself and your family from ticks, apply an approved insect repellant containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing, wear long sleeves, stay on trails and be sure to check yourself, children and pets for ticks. Pay special attention to the scalp, groin, waist band, armpits and behind the knees. Take extra care during other outdoor fall activities like raking leaves, doing yard work or playing in fields with long grass.

WOSC girls U10 team enjoys practice with Ottawa Fury players Members of the Ottawa Fury FC made a typical summer Tuesday evening into a truly memorable special occasion for members of the West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) Girls U10 T2 (Blauer) team. It happened in late August as members of the WOSC Girls U10 T2 (Blauer) team were able to partake in an Ottawa Fury FC practice at the new Wesley Clover soccer pitch in west Ottawa. It turned out to be a truly memorable event with the girls gaining valuable soccer knowledge, learning new skills and, most importantly, having a lot of fun training with the likes of Tommy Heinemann, Ryan Richter, Mason Trafford, Nicki Patterson and the team’s recent “man of the Match,� Colin Falvey. In this training session, every Fury player was able to play against the girls for 60 minutes, all the while sharing his

knowledge and passion for the game. The games began after a short speech from Fury coach Marc Dos Santos in which he thanked the WOSC for its support. With small-sided games having developed in popularity as a training philosophy, Ottawa Fury FC players were added to teams so that there would be more touches on the ball, increased scoring opportunities and additional skill development. In the end, the quote of the night went to one young player who remarked: “Mom, those Fury players are REALLY good!� WOSC Girls U10 T2 (Blauer) team members included Emmy Blauer, Hannah Clarkson, Ryann Smith, Shayla Pearce, Laura Jin, Kyra McCann, Annabelle Newby, Kayleigh Bourgaize, Evelyn Bailey, Emma Zhu and Hailey Goddard.

Mary Cook’s Memories There was no doubt about it; my pet chicken wouldn’t be a chicken much longer. I wasn’t smart enough to figure out that you didn’t have pets on a farm. They eventually ended up at the market or hanging in the smoke house behind the house. I refused to accept this, so I had a pet lamb, a pet calf, and Biddy, my pet chicken. The reason I adopted Biddy was that she stood out from the crowd. She didn’t have a feather on her body, unless you could call the little ring of white fuzz that circled her between her neck and her wings, feathers. And Biddy grew, as I knew she would. And then one day, she was nowhere to be found. I wouldn’t dare ask what happened to her, but I strongly suspected, since I fed her myself and she grew bigger and fatter than any other in the flock, she was the perfect candidate to be taken into Renfrew with Mother’s other wares to be peddled, and the few pennies added to what was called her “egg” money. When Biddy went missing, I knew what I had to do. I had to get an egg out of the hen house, and somehow turn it into a chicken. Surely, if I had hatched my very own chicken, it would never be hauled off to Renfrew or put in the big granite pot on a Sunday. And I

Mary tries her hand at hatching her very own chicken in a drawer in her shared washstand

knew just how to do it too. Hadn’t I seen Mother stock the incubator with eggs, keep it warm with coal oil lamps or lanterns and lo and behold in due course, there would be a batch of little golden chickens? So the first thing I had to do was find a spot that was not cold. Well, this time of year, that could be just about any place in the house. The upstairs was like we had moved the Findlay Oval to the top floor! And so, without being noticed, I went to the henhouse, looked over the eggs waiting to be brought into the house, and picked the biggest one I could find. I tucked it gently into the leg of my flour bag bloomers so no one would notice it, and headed right upstairs to the little washstand I shared with my sister Audrey. In my half of the top drawer, which Audrey had divided with a wood ruler from Scott’s Hardware, I moved my underwear around and made a dent in one of my pairs of flour bag underpants, and gently put the egg in the folds. Then I covered it with more underwear, a vest and three pairs of ankle socks. It was well hidden, the washstand took the full blast of the sun all day long, and I figured I would soon have a replacement for Biddy. I knew it was important not to touch the egg

over too. You didn’t have to be a university graduate to know what had happened to the egg. In the heat, in the closed drawer, it had rotted beyond belief! My explanation did little to impress Audrey. She ordered me to wrap it in a pair of my underpants and take it outside and throw it as far away from the house as I could. I did as I was told, sad beyond belief that my try at hatching my very own chicken was a complete and total failure. My penalty was taking everything out of the wash stand, washing it with a bar of Lifebouy soap, used only by Father or the boys when they had to get rid of a bad smell, and tossing everything into the Monday’s wash. The drawer and the two doors at the bottom stood open for days, airing out. I was too young to know what had to happen to an egg before it would hatch. And my sister Audrey blamed me for her sudden dislike of scrambled eggs on a Sunday morning! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

while it was hatching, and so I used only the underpinnings on top of it. And the long wait for the egg to hatch began. I had no idea how long that would be, but every night I went to bed and silently prayed it wouldn’t pop open when we were asleep, and start to peep, sending my sister Audrey into a state of hysterics! Well, the wait went on. Days passed and turned into a couple of weeks. And then one day my sister Audrey, who could hear a leaf drop, and who had a nose that could pick a scent two miles away, so good were her senses, announced to Mother one morning that there was a vile smell coming from our shared bedroom. It was a Saturday, so Mother told her to work especially hard at doing our usual chores, making sure to dust mop thoroughly, and use a bit of lemon oil on the furniture. She blamed the smell on the heat wave we were having. By the next day, I too could smell whatever it was that was fast eliminating the sweet scent of clean sheets and the lemon oil that was used only in the parlour! And that was the day my secret incubator was no longer a secret. “The stink is coming from our wash stand,” Audrey bellowed, as she ripped open the little drawer. Well, the smell just about bowled me

Jack Lebold makes like a batter as he swings his frozen t-shirt at a fence post, trying to break up the ice as he takes part in the frozen t-shirt contest at the 2015 Ontario Good Sam Club Sahboree at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond last Saturday.

Frozen t-shirt contest proves challenging John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The paint is chipped off a little in places on several white fence posts at the entrance to the heavy horse ring at the Richmond fairgrounds. Richmond Agricultural Society president Ian Stackhouse says it is no problem as the posts will be easily re-painted and made spic and span in time for the upcoming Richmond Fair. It all happened last Saturday, thanks to a most unusual cause – activity related to a frozen t-shirt contest held at the 2015 Ontario Samboree of the Good Sam Club which was held at the fairgrounds. A total of 22 competitors volunteered to enter the contest which involved the distribution of a frozen t-shirt to each competitor. These t-shirts had been in the freezer for over two weeks, so you know that they were F-R-O-Z-E-N, like rock solid. Indeed, they were little frozen square packages when they were distributed. The challenge for the competitors was how to transform this rock solid package into a tshirt that could be slipped on. The first ones to unfreeze the t-shirt and to put it on were the winners. It’s not as easy as you think, warned Good Sam Club provincial director Barbara Treagus, addressing the competitors just before beginning the contest. And she proved to be oh so right! Starting the contest began a frenzy of activity by the competitors – some slamming the frozen t-shirt on the ground to try to break up its ice; others slamming the frozen t-shirt against one

of the nearby fence posts which is why some of white paint on the posts eventually chipped away. Other strategies to unfreeze the t-shirts involved warming the t-shirt package under the arm or lodging it in some other body area which would generate heat. Some even used their teeth in the latter stages of the competition to try to separate the t-shirt from the remaining frozen ice. It took half an hour of this activity before the winners emerged in this frozen t-shirt contest, with all of the antics being enjoyed by a substantial crowd of fellow RV’ers. Seventy-four year old Jack Lebold from the Conestoga Good Samer’s Chapter emerged as the first man to conquer the challenge. And as he sat exhausted on the ground, leaning up against one of those white fence posts and awaiting a refreshing drink of water, he proclaimed that he would not be in any future frozen t-shirt contests. Other male winners in the contest were Gaston Lalonde of Rockland in second place and Brian Cullen of the Kente Kampers Chapter of Belleville in third place. For the women, who took a little longer to unfreeze their t-shirts than the men did, Margaret Hickey from Wingham was the winner. Second place went to Charlene Parlee of New Brunswick while Cindy Coates, another from New Brunswick, placed third. It must be something about New Brunswick. Everyone says that New Brunswickers are warm, friendly people. Being warm people might have helped in this frozen t-shirt contest!

Fair’s quilt show committee wants more and more quilts Special to the News

The Richmond Fair has one of the best quilt shows among fall fairs but the quilt committee wants it to be even better. And that means having more and more quilters show more and more quilts at the Fair, displaying the great talent and skill in quilting that exists locally. The quilt show committee of the Fair is encouraging all quilters to exhibit their work at this year’s Fair to help make this the most spectacular quilt show ever at the Fair. The show is open to everyone in the area. There are categories for all kinds of quilts and techniques, from first quilts to applique to wall hangings to traditional

to hand or machine quilted. There are even categories for quilts made by youth under 19 years of age as well as categories for wearable art. There is a section in the show for those just wishing to display their work without having it judged. There are prizes for the winning quilts in the various categories. Sponsors of these prizes include The Country Quilter in Richmond, Mad About Patchwork in Stittsville, The Running Stitch in Kanata, The Pickle Dish in Carleton Place, The Quilting Quarters in Almonte, Textile Traditions in Almonte and the Westboro Animal Hospital. For more information about

the various categories in the Fair’s quilt show, go to the website www.richmondfair.ca and look at the homecraft section or contact quilt committee co-chair Alison Tranter at ptranter@sympatico.ca or by phone at 613-838-5347. The quilt committee is also looking for volunteers to help out with the quilt show on the days of the Fair and also volunteers to demonstrate quilting techniques at the show. The Richmond Fair is running from Thursday, Sept. 17 to Sunday, Sept. 20 this year. The Richmond Fair takes place at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. The quilt show takes place in the curling club building on the grounds.

2015 Samboree at Richmond fairgrounds john.curry@metroland.com

The Richmond fairgrounds became home to about 130 RV’s last weekend as the Ontario Good Sam RV Club held its 2015 Samboree there. Some of the RV’s were on site all week long while others arrived just for the weekend. Looking after the Samboree which is the Good Sam Club’s name for a rally were Ontario provincial directors Jean-Marie Menard and his wife Barbara Treagus from Embrun. Indeed, as an Embrun farmer, Jean-Marie was familiar with the Richmond fairgrounds, knowing that they were nice and were close to attractions in the Ottawa area. JeanMarie and Barbara approached the Richmond Agricultural Society and arranged for the fairgrounds to be the site of the Samboree. With the Dining Hall being too small to handle gatherings of all the RV’ers, the heavy horse barn was cleaned up and it became the central meeting area for the Samboree. That is where the opening ceremony for the Samboree was held last Friday evening, with the building filled with RV’ers as they heard “welcomes” from Richmond Agricultural Society general manager Dale Greene and city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt. At this opening ceremony, they also heard from various visiting State and Provincial Directors who had an opportunity to publicize their upcoming Samborees or rallies. These included Directors from Maine, Massachusetts, Quebec, the Atlantic Provinces, New Hampshire and Vermont. It was noted at this opening ceremony that beginning next year, the term “Samboree” is being dropped in favour of the term “rally” which is felt is a term that better reflects the event to the public. Organizer Jean-Marie and his wife Barbara attended seven Samborees

Fair parade

in the year leading up to this Ontario Samboree at Richmond to get ideas about various activities that could be held during the event. So you had events like a frozen t-shirt contest and games like bean bag baseball, a washer toss and ladder golf. Every Samboree has a theme and the theme for this one in Richmond was “Carnival.” The RV’ers collected food items for the Richmond Food Bank during the Samboree. In addition, the funds raised from fines issued by the Samboree’s “Name Tag Patrol” were donated to the Richmond Village Association in support of its community shopping bus program. The Name Tag Patrol issued fines for RV’ers who were caught away from their RV rig without wearing an identification name badge. The Ontario Good Sam RV Club hopes to return to the Richmond fairgrounds for its rally in 2017. Next year the rally is being held in the Sarnia area. This 2015 Samboree had an extensive program of activities and events. There were informal activities on both Monday, Aug. 24 and Tuesday, Aug. 25 as early bird RV’s arrived at the site. On Wednesday, Aug. 26, there was a double decker bus tour of Ottawa as well as ongoing registration on the site. Other activities included inforJohn Curry/Metroland mal games, a movie and a music jam Audrey Schreyer, left, and Vaughan Martin, right, presidents of the Bytown Good Sammers Chapter of the session in the heavy horse barn.

Meditation classes are continuing at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The series of classes conducted by Bhante Kovida on Tuesdays in August were so well attended that Bhante Kovida decided to continue offering them through the month of September. However, during September, these meditation classes will be held on Wednesdays

instead of on Tuesdays as was the case in August. The time, though, remains the same – 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. These meditation classes which will feature meditation, Dharma talk and discussion, will take place on Wednesdays, Sept. 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30. There is no registration required. For more information, please call Bhante Kovida at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road in

Stittsville at 613-836-0938. Bhante Kovida has led such meditation classes previously at the Stittsville library branch in both 2012 and 2013. He has also conducted such sessions at the Iskotew Lodge at Health Canada. Everyone is most welcome to attend one or all of these classes. There is no charge but a donation to help Bhante Kovida in his teaching efforts would be appreciated.

Guitar stolen from Kathleen Edwards’ Stittsville home Special to the News

The Les Paul is one of the best-known solid body electric guitars in the world and one of them is now missing. And it’s not just any Les Paul guitar but a 1957 Les Paul Junior owned by Canadian Juno-nominated singer Kathleen Edwards. It was stolen from her Stittsville home, causing Edwards to take to Facebook on Thursday, Aug. 27 to launch an appeal for its return. “If the guitar is returned, I can accept a “no questions asked” agreement. Whether that means the guitar is returned to my business, Quitters coffee, to my home or through a mutual acquaintance, I can accept a foolish drunken teenage lapse of judgment, a momentary hiccup in your moral being,” she wrote on her Facebook post about the theft of the guitar from her home. The post attracted over 20,000 shares and 4,000 likes within less than a day. Although she did not explain when the theft of the guitar happened, she did say that it probably happened by someone entering through an unlocked back door of her home and walking out with the guitar. Edwards notes in her Facebook post that the guitar will not be easy for a theft to unload because such a valuable and well known guitar brand is easily recognizable. It also has an identifiable serial number. “You won’t be able to play it in front of peo-

ple,” Edwards wrote. “It will draw attention, someone will notice. People who buy and sell valuable instruments know exactly what they are and when they are stolen.” Gibson Les Paul guitars have been made since 1952, designed largely by American guitarist Les Paul who is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of the solid body electric guitar which was the instrument most associated with early rock and roll music. The Les Paul guitar has been produced in countless versions and editions since 1952 and the guitar is used by many musicians in genres ranging from rock to rhythm and blues and jazz to punk to heavy metal. The Les Paul Junior model debuted in 1954, targeted at that time for beginning or student guitarists. This initial Les Paul Junior was characterized by a flat top “slab” mahogany body finished in sunburst. It had a single pickup, simple volume and tone controls, an unbound rosewood fingerboard with plain dot shape position markers and a combination bridge/tailpiece unit. Les Paul, who was born in 1915 and died in 2009, is credited with many recording innovations. His personal playing style included innovative movements. He is the only person to be in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
