EMC news - Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn will be in a different federal riding if changes proposed by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario are approved. Under the proposal, Stittsville, along with Richmond and Goulbourn, will be part of a riding that the Commission, in its proposal, has called Nepean-Carleton even though there are not any areas of Nepean in the riding. This proposed riding, with a 2011 population of 91,550, would include all of Stittsville along with Richmond, Goulbourn, Manotick, Riverside South and rural areas along the southern part of the city of Ottawa all the way from the city’s eastern boundary to its western boundary. Stittsville would account for 26,000 of the riding’s population. The proposed boundary for the riding in the Stittsville area would be highway 7 and highway 417 to the north, Terry Fox Drive to the east and the city’s western boundary to the west. The current federal riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills, which includes Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn along with Kanata, West Carleton/March and Mississippi Mills, would become the core for a riding proposed to be called Carleton-Kanata and including all of Kanata as well as West Carleton/March, with a population of 100,118. The Mississippi Mills portion of the current riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills is being proposed to be included in a riding called Lanark-Frontenac-Hastings which will include all of Lanark County and will have a total population of 108,500. A total of 15 new federal electoral districts are being proposed by this Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario since the province’s increase in the 2011 census saw an increase in population to justify adding 15 new federal ridings. In 2001, the province had a population of 11,410,046. In 2011, the population had grown to 12,851,821. The Commission is mandated to establish electoral districts across the province as close to the average population as possible. The population of any riding should be within 25 percent of the average once consideration is given to communities of interest or identity and historical and geographic factors. Final decisions about riding boundaries will be made by the Commission following public consultation. For the Ottawa area, these consultation public hearings will be held on Monday, Nov. 5 and Tuesday, Nov. 6, both starting at 10 a.m. and both being held at the Hampton Inn and Conference Centre on the Vanier Parkway near highway 417. Those wishing to make a presentation at these hearings must send the Commission written notice no later than Oct. 1. This notice should include name, address and contact information and a short overview of the issue or issues that will be addressed. Written notice can be sent by email to Ontario@rfed-rcf.ca. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario can be contacted at 1-855-747-7224 which is a toll free number. Currently the provincial ridings in this area reflect the boundaries of the federal ridings. However, for this redistribution and creation of new federal ridings, the province may or may not choose to adopt the new federal electoral boundaries as the boundaries for provincial ridings. At present Ontario is the only province where this happens. All other provinces have completely different federal and provincial electoral boundaries. The new federal riding boundaries should be decided upon and in place in time for the next fixed federal election date which is Oct. 19, 2015.

Walk, fun happening Sunday John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There promises to be quite a gang walking along Stittsville Main Street this Sunday, Sept. 9, taking part in the first-ever Give the Gift of Life Walk in support of the Kidney Foundation. Already close to 100 walkers have signed up and more and more are hoped for and expected. And, remember, there is lots more going on than just the walk. At the Stittsville United Church, which is both the starting point and finish line

for the five kilometer walk, fun will be on the agenda. Not only will all the walkers be able to enjoy a free luncheon thanks to the generosity of Sobey’s in Stittsville but also everyone – walkers and others – will have lots to enjoy. There will be an inflatable

obstacle course and circus games, great for the kids. And a band will be present to provide some musical entertainment. All of this will be happening on the church grounds following the walk. See WALK, page 2

Walk for Kidney Foundation Continued from page 1

As for the walk itself, registration will get underway at 10 a.m. with the walk itself setting off at 11 a.m. From the church, the walkers will proceed along Stittsville Main Street all the way to Papa Sam’s at Beverly Street which is the turnaround point. The walkers will then head back to Stittsville United Church. The walk not only will raise funds for the Kidney Foundation but also is meant to increase awareness of kidney disease and organ donation. Today, for instance, over 1,100 people are waiting for a kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant in Ontario. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is entering a team of walkers in this walk, joining a number of other teams. “It’s just a really good community day,” said Rotary Club president Carolyn Clark as she promoted the walk and the associated fun activities at the Stittsville United Church at the Rotary Club’s Aug. 28 meeting. For more information about this Give the Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville this Sunday, Sept. 9 including online registration and making donations, visit the website www.kidneywalk. ca.

Craig Dunbar tells Rotary about kidney disease John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Craig Dunbar of Stittsville is an advocate for kidney disease awareness, funding and research. He himself is not only a kidney disease patient but also he now works for the Kidney Foundation, making its programs and initiatives better known

in the community. Craig was at the Tuesday, Aug. 28 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, telling Club members about his own personal situation with kidney disease, about the challenges that patients on dialysis face and about some of the programs run by the Kidney Foundation including its fundraising initiatives such as the Give the Gift

of Life Walk that is taking place in Stittsville this coming Sunday, Sept. 9. These walks, which this year will take place in about 60 communities across the province, are the Foundation’s major fundraiser. This year, in the Eastern Ontario area, there are five new walks being inaugurated, including the one in Stittsville, adding to the three that already existed including one in Otta-

wa. Craig himself led an active, athletic lifestyle before he suffered an acute kidney failure after spraining his ankle playing ball in the summer of 2007 and then having a reaction to an antiinflamatory drug that he took. In two days, his kidney were not functioning and he was on dialysis, beginning his journey with kidney disease. See ROTARY, page 3

Rotary members hear about kidney disease Continued from page 2

He is still on dialysis, with a machine at home which allows him to go through dialysis each night rather than travelling to hospital every two days as most kidney disease patients must do. He had a kidney transplant three years ago but it was a badly damaged kidney and unfortunately the transplant was not successful. Craig remains at the top of the list for his blood type for a kidney transplant but this has been the situation for three years now. He says that people generally still do not understand about kidney disease and dialysis which filters the blood, just like a kidney would do, removing toxins that a normally-functioning kidney does. Most kidney disease patients visit a dialysis unit three times a week, undergoing a

total of 12 hours of dialysis. However, in Craig’s view, this is only the minimum amount of dialysis needed to keep a person alive and functioning. It leaves the patient dehydrated and lacking energy afterwards. In addition, kidney disease patients on dialysis are prone

to many complications, some from all of the medication that is required. Craig, for example, during a brief time when he was on hospital dialysis, was taking 19 different drugs. Hospital dialysis, three times a week, also restricts a person’s diet. Because of the presence of potassium and so-

dium in most healthy foods, such foods are unhealthy for a dialysis patient to eat. So potatoes, tomatoes and an array of foods are off-limits to a patient on the hospital dialysis program. Craig, with his home dialysis machine that gives him more time undergoing dialy-

sis, does not have these dietary restrictions. Dialysis also causes vascular complications from the needles being inserted into the arm on a regular basis. There are also cardiac and skeletal problems that can arise from dialysis. The Kidney Foundation is constantly advocating for a better quality of care for kidney disease patients. This includes lobbying for more home units like the one Craig has which can mean more time undergoing dialysis. Craig, for example, averages 50 hours of dialysis a week compared to the 12 hours a week which a hospital dialysis patient receives. The Kidney Foundation for which Craig now works (he still is a volunteer firefighter in Stittsville) wants to increase public awareness of kidney disease and to promote organ donation. In addition, the Kidney Foundation funds

research about kidney disease, last year providing $2.75 million to an array of research projects and initiatives. The Kidney Foundation also has volunteer programs which sees them help new patients understand the disease more and to let them know that they are not alone in their struggle against the disease. The Kidney Foundation also has educational programs for kidney disease patients such as classes about proper diet. There is also the Kidney Car Program in which people can donate an old car and receive an income tax receipt. The Kidney Foundation either sells or scraps the old car, generating revenue. This Kidney Car Program is in the process of becoming a national program. Craig will be representing the Kidney Foundation at this coming Sunday’s Give the Gift of Life Walk in Stittsville.

Hydro Ottawa, Crime Stoppers join forces

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Hydro Ottawa is proud to support Crime Stoppers, a locally-run program that provides cash rewards and confidentiality to those who have anonymous information that helps the police solve crimes. “Together we are keeping our community safe by teaming up to ensure those individuals who engage in illegal activities, including stealing electricity to power illegal grow houses, are reported,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa. “Many grow houses tamper with electricity wiring, which can be very dangerous for the occupants of the home, the public and our employees.” Hydro Ottawa has presented the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers with a cheque for $3,040. This represents the rewards paid since 2009 for tips that have helped shut down marijuana grow operations. Approximately 100 Hydro Ottawa pick-up trucks and vans will also display a Crime Stoppers decal.

Free e-waste drop-off day Special to the News

EMC news - A free e-waste drop-off day is happening in Stittsville this Saturday, Sept. 8. You will not only be able to dispose of all of your old electronic equipment and devices for free at a convenient local drop-off but also you will be helping support this year’s Terry Fox Run as well. That’s because Capital Junk, which is hosting this free e-waste drop-off day in Stittsville, will be donating all of the proceeds which it receives from taking the materials to the appropriate recycling facilities throughout the city to this year’s Terry Fox Run which raises funds to combat cancer. So, everybody wins – you get rid of your unwanted e-waste for free and the Terry Fox Run receives funds from the recycling of this e-waste. And the e-waste is properly recycled as well. This free e-waste drop-off day will be

held on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the parking lot at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville post office. Capital Junk has previously held free e-waste drop-off days in the parking lot at the Home Furniture store across the street from the Community Bible Church but now that Home Furniture is closed and has gone into receivership, that parking lot is not available. But the Community Bible Church has graciously agreed to have its parking lot used for this event. At this free e-waste drop-off day on Saturday, Sept. 8, Capital Junk will be accepting electronic waste from both homeowners and businesses without any limit on the number or amount. That’s because the more that can be collected and recycled, then the more that Capital Junk will be able to donate to the Terry Fox Run. Acceptable items include TV’s, com-

“In all, Crime Stoppers has helped recover over $90 million worth of stolen property and illicit drugs since the program began locally in 1985,” said Wayne Bissett, Chairman of the National Capital Area Crime Stoppers. “In 2011, tips led to the arrest of 89 individuals, over 500 charges being laid and the recovery of 15 firearms.”

To report a tip anonymously and earn a reward of up to $2,000, call Crime Stoppers at 613-233TIPS (8477) or toll free at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The National Capital Area Crime Stoppers is also active online at www.crimestoppers.ca, Facebook, and on Twitter @CrimeStoppersOttawa or text to CRIMES with the keyword ‘tip252.’

Working with Crime Stoppers is just one way Hydro Ottawa is contributing to the well-being of our community. Hydro Ottawa is a community builder, maintaining one of the safest, most reliable electricity distribution systems in Ontario. The company is also dedicated to helping customers use electricity efficiently and teaching children and youth about electricity safety and conservation.

puters, monitors, computer towers, keyboards, printers, stereos, stereo equipment, electric fireplaces and cell phones – virtually anything electronic. Larger appliances will not be accepted because they take up so much room in the Capital Junk trucks and would thus restrict the total number of items that could be collected at this event. Besides donating all of the funds received from the recycling of these ewaste items to the Terry Fox Run, Capital Junk will be setting up a table at the dropoff day location where people can make their own monetary donations for Capital Junk’s Terry Fox Run fundraising effort if they so wish. Capital Junk has set a goal of $5,000 for its fundraising for this year’s Terry Fox Run which happens on Sunday, Sept. 16. That’s why it would like to see as big a turnout as possible to this free e-waste drop-off day in Stittsville.

Kungfu Bistro helps at NAC red bean soup. All of these dishes are not currently on the menu at Kungfu Bistro but if a demand emerges, they may be added to a future menu. It apparently was Kungfu Bistro’s attention to detail and

Special to the News

EMC news - The National Arts Centre (NAC) in Ottawa turned to a Stittsville restaurant to help in catering an Asian wedding. Kungfu Bistro, located in the Stittsville Corners shopping area (Sobey’s plaza) at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road in Stittsville, was asked the NAC’s celebrity chef Michael Blackie to be part of the catering team for an Asian wedding reception at the NAC on Saturday, Aug. 25. A team led by Tony Chen, a chef at Kungfu Bistro, produced four of the nine courses for the reception. These four dishes were prepared mostly at Kungfu Bistro in Stittsville and finished at the NAC kitchen. Both chef Blackie and Tony Chen were very involved in the catering, from prepping the food to plating it to presenting it. There were 70 guests at the reception, some coming from as far away as Vancouver. Some guests had even dined in Hong Kong, so they knew their Asian food and they appreciated the reception’s offerings. The dishes served which were prepared by Kungfu Bistro were traditional dishes normally served at Asian weddings, namely roasted pig, crispy whole chicken (with the bone-in), E-Fu noodles, fish maw soup and a creamy

quality in their food preparation that drew chef Blackie’s attention to this Stittsville restaurant. Kungfu Bistro, which has been open now for four months, is commonly asked about what kind of food is

ADVERTORIAL

STOP the Destructive Mission of a Cigarette Butt Josée Adam, Project Officer

I am a cigarette butt and my mission in life is to cause mass destruction. Yes, I am like an evil superhero, a menace to society. I pride myself for being almost indestructible - I am not biodegradable, so I never really break down and die. I am also made up of harmful chemicals, making me a threat to children, wildlife and the environment. One of my favourite pass-times is to prey on the vulnerable. Toddlers and young children are curious and innocent, so I can easily fool them. For example, the other day, a 16 month-old girl was playing

in a park sand box and noticed me on the ground. She was curious about what I might be and she picked me up and put me in her mouth expecting a surprise. A surprise she did get, but not the one she wanted. She started to choke and her parents had to take her to the hospital. On the way there, the little girl was vomiting, lethargic and gagging because the poisonous material that I am made of was making her sick. She is only one of many who fall prey to my devious nature. My intention is not only to directly

cause harm to toddlers and young children, but I also love to surf the major waterways while contaminating the water with my super-toxic chemicals like lead, arsenic and cadmium. Yes, more than 200,000 of me were collected as part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean in 2010. My surfing activity leads fish to believe I am bait and they swallow me. Birds pick me up and bring me to their babies as food or use me as toxic nest-building material. Aha! I again succeed at spreading destruction wherever I go. All this is to say that I am a public nuisance and cities pay a lot of money to try and get rid of me. For example, the City of Ottawa spends $5.5 million dollars every year cleaning litter – including cigarette butts like me – from roads and parks. I am planning to continue my destructive journey and I dare YOU to try and stop my negative health, environmental and financial impacts. Are you up for the challenge? ..................................................... Cigarette butt litter is an important issue that must be addressed. What can you DO to stop its destructive mission?

• Put the evil butts in their place, where they belong: the butt box or a portable ashtray. • Dispose of fully extinguished matches and partially smoked cigarettes as well as lighters and packaging in the garbage bins. DON’T: • Put butts in storm drains • Throw them out of a car window since it can start a wildfire. • Bring them to places where children and toddlers play – parks, beaches and sports fields - or to natural environments that are contaminated by their presence. The fight against their destruction doesn’t end there. The ultimate action you can take is to reduce the numbers of cigarette butts in your community. This requires you to be a superhero in your own right, and to take courageous steps to quit smoking if you are a smoker or to encourage your friends to quit smoking. If you need help butting out, please visit ottawa.ca/ quitsmoking or call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-5806744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Immunization – Update your Child’s immunization Information with Ottawa Public Health Kathy Selst, Public Health Nurse

Routine immunization is one of the safest and most effective ways to prevent illness and death from many serious contagious diseases. These diseases, while rare in Ontario due to high vaccination rates, still exist, as seen in recent outbreaks of measles and whooping cough (pertussis).

Students caught in labour battle crossfire

P

lease, won’t someone think of the children? Ontario’s government and teachers’ unions don’t seem to be. The cash-strapped Ontario government and several of the province’s teachers unions are embroiled in a battle over proposed legislation to force a wage freeze on elementary and high school teachers. The unions say they are willing to accept a wage freeze, but call the government’s bill unconstitutional

and a violation of workers’ rights. The bill, titled Putting Students First, also calls for teachers to take a 1.5 per cent pay cut in the form of three unpaid professional development days and elimination of banked sick days. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty insists these measures are necessary to maintain jobs and continue to roll out the full-day kindergarten program across Ontario. Meanwhile, a growing

number of teachers, angry over what they call heavyhanded legislation, are threatening to withdraw voluntary services, such as coaching teams and directing plays after school. The media also has reports of teachers who are considering removing class educational materials they have purchased out of their own pocket. Both the government and the teachers say they are fighting for students’ education.

We beg to differ. The Ontario government’s bill was created to balance the books – and preserve Dalton McGuinty’s legacy as the “education premier.� The teachers are simply trying to preserve their collective bargaining rights. But the kids are getting caught in the middle. If teachers individually choose not to volunteer after school, that could mean fewer extra-curricular activities available for students.

Our children should not be used as a collective bargaining chip. Premier McGuinty, for his part, should keep in mind that teachers freely volunteer their time to provide extracurricular activities for students. The dispute almost seems a little silly, as both sides have agreed a wage freeze is necessary, at least for the short-term. It’s ridiculous that both sides are engaged in what amounts to last-minute

negotiations. A deal should have been worked out months ago. Instead of ironing out a deal, it seems both sides have engaged in a little game of Russian roulette. Unfortunately, it’s the province’s children who will end up the ultimate losers in their little game. Both sides need to abandon their public posturing, and focus instead on working out a deal that addresses each other’s concerns.

COLUMN

Connected on the dock the city when they got back to the city. They could live without the latest news, the latest blogs. But for some it was frustrating to be out of touch. And you could tell, this summer, by how often they sat with their devices, the phones and iPads and laptops, looking at newly-connected screens. The fact is that for most of us connectedness is no longer an option. People expect us to be online and answer immediately. We open emails with the expectations we used to have about opening the mail. Something good might be there: the Queen wants to meet you, a previously unknown rich uncle has died and left you millions, someone wants to film your life story. Not being able to have access to this news has been a drag. Now the drag is gone and we can stay in the real world – as if life in the city is somehow more real than life beside the lake. Will Wi-Fi spoil the summer experience? Not for those rare individuals who can take it or leave it, who can spend days without looking at a screen and only check their email once a week. But it will definitely be spoiled for those who hoped to spend a few weeks free of people reading them funny items found on the Internet. On the other hand, the absence of connectedness makes some people difficult to live with. They are antsy, irritable, always charging off to the library or the nearest coffee shop to check emails, even if the nearest one is a boat ride away plus many kilometres on the highway. Now that they can check their emails on the dock they will be easier to live with. And when you have a family argument about some arcane movie trivia you can refer it to Google, thus heading off hours of debate. Maybe you can even find the instructions for the chainsaw. You take your small blessings where you can.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

R

eflecting back on the summer just passed, it is possible to conclude that there is something changeless about summer life in Canada – the lakes, the loons, the summer breezes, the sounds of the birds, the roar of the motorboats, the quiet two-lane roads, the trailers in front of you on the two-lane roads, the grilled cheese sandwich beside the highway. There’s good and bad in it, but it hasn’t changed much in decades. Sure the cottages are bigger, the toys are faster and louder and a simple lifestyle that once was common is now regarded as primitive. But can it really stay the same? The time spent at cottages and on the highway this summer makes me wonder. For this was the summer of Wi-Fi, the first of many. In the remotest parts of Northern Ontario, the smallest motels offered Wi-Fi on their signs along the highway. Wi-Fi or some other forms of connectivity were in evidence on devices brought to the cottage. Connectivity was everywhere. Getting away from it all was nowhere. Which is different, because the cottage used to be the one place that was unconnected. Sure, there might be a phone, but nobody used it much. Even the telemarketers didn’t seem to know the number. As for email, it was a distant dream, or nightmare, depending on how you viewed it. This was frustrating for some people, not so for others. The others were perfectly content to find out what was going on in

Idol title goes to Munster EMC news - Munster is home to the 2012 Kiwanis Idol. Sixteen year old Alexandra (Ally) Maheral of Munster was crowned the 2012 Kiwanis Idol last Sunday, Sept. 2 in the competition’s finals held at the Place d’Orleans shopping centre. She was one of 11 finalists from across the city of Ottawa and beyond, ranging in age from 14 year old Allison Neville of Petawawa to 29 year old Rachel Stiles of Ottawa. Other competitors came from Greely, Kanata, Ottawa, Nepean and Orleans as well as Stittsville. Nineteen year old Jennifer Lauren of Stittsville was one of the finalists. This win in the 2012 Kiwanis Idol finals marks the end of a musical journey for Alexandra Maheral that began with auditions at the Merivale Mall in Nepean in July and August. This resulted in the selection of the top 22 performers which included Alexandra. These 22 performers sang at the Orleans Shopping Centre on Saturday, Aug. 25 in what was purely a performance occasion with no judging involved. The Kiwanis Idol semi-finals were held on Saturday, Sept. 1 when the top 11 were selected to go on to the finals last

Sunday. For winning, Alexandra gets recording time at Pebble Studios Hummingbird Music. This is the ninth annual Kiwanis Idol

competition, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Kanata. Something new that was added to the Kiwanis Idol program just last June is a Kiwanis Idol Red Carpet Concert at Scotiabank Place.

Cooling trees for Poole Creek Special to the News

EMC news - The waters of Poole Creek will be kept cooler in the future thanks to some recent tree planting. Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) staff planted nine Silver Maple trees along the north side of Poole Creek in the Forest Creek/Amberway area of Stittsville. These trees will be expected to provide some shading to the Poole Creek waterway as they grow in the future. Such shade

will help moderate the water temperature in the cook to help preserve Poole Creek as a cool water creek. It is one of only a few such cool water bodies within the boundaries of the city of Ottawa. The planting took place in part with money made available in part from funds which MVC received as one of the beneficiaries of a golf tournament staged by Waste Management last year.

There is no ongoing plan for such tree plantings along Poole Creek but local MVC representative Phil Sweetnam would like to see such planting become an annual MVC project. In addition, Mr. Sweetnam reminds community members in the area of this recent tree planting to monitor the condition and progress of the trees and to water the trees if required by dry weather conditions.

Scarecrows, fall-themed crafts at Museum this Sunday, Sept. 9 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s Scarecrow who is searching for brains in the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz.” As played by Ray Bolger, he is one of the more famous scarecrows ever. But scarecrows, whether famous or not, have been around for centuries – a human figure dressed in old clothes and placed in fields by farmers to discourage poaching by birds such as crows. And full size scarecrows will be among the things made at the “Autumn, Apples & Acorns” family craft day which is coming up at the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, Sept. 9 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The scarecrows created at this family craft day will be used to decorate the Museum site this fall and will also be used to accompany Museum staff to local fall fairs. Those at the family craft day will also make

fall-themed crafts to take home from the event. Those attending are urged to wear plaid or fall colours to get in the spirit of fall as they enjoy these fun crafts and activities at this family craft day. This family event costs only $3 per child and is recommended for children ages 4 to 11. Parent accompaniment is required. Please call 613-831-2393 or email education@goulbournmuseum.ca to guarantee a spot at this family craft day. The Goulbourn Museum is also accepting donations of clothing that will be used to make these scarecrows at this family craft day. If there is any unused clothing left over after the event, it will be donated to a local charity. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville.

Mark Grasza's art about War of 1812 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Artist Mark Grasza of Stittsville stands beside one of his large, colourful paintings depicting a battle in the War of 1812. Two of these paintings are now on display at the ArtSpace Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Canada, using his trademark bright sunny colours. His art can be found in public and private collections in both North America and Europe. Two of his paintings, including one of Parliament Hill, can be found in the possession of Queen Elizabeth II. Others found their way to former Prime Minister, the late Pierre Trudeau, and the Governor-General.

Canada Post used his painting of Pope John-Paul II’s 1984 visit to Ottawa as the basis for a postage stamp. Mr. Grasza’s painting of Polish hero Casimir Pulaski, who was a hero fighting for freedom in both Poland and in the fledgling United States, can be found in the town of Pulaski in upper New York State. During the American Revo-

lutionary War, Casimir Pulaski saved the life of George Washington and became a general in the Continental Army, creating the American cavalry. He died in the Battle of Savannah. He is one of only seven people to be awarded honourary United States citizenship. Mr. Grasza worked as an electrical engineer and then as

a truck driver criss-crossing North America until his retirement four years ago, allowing him to focus even more on his painting. He is a member of the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) which displays the paintings of its members at its gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville.

EMC news - Pilates has come to Stittsville in a big way. Isabella Moroz has opened the IM Pilates Studio in the Shops of Main Street Plaza, right beside the Broadway Bar and Grill. It is the realization of her dream to provide a community with a full-service Pilates studio with professional grade Pilates equipment, expert training and a wide range of classes. Pilates is becoming a most sought-after exercise method, not only to keep fit but also to solve ailments such as back pain, poor posture and muscular problems. And a key reason why Pilates is becoming so popular is that the Pilates technique really works. And Isabella herself can testify to this. It was back in 2006 that Isabella, working in neuroscience as she has a PhD in behavioural neuroscience, was suffered pains due to sclerosis. She tried Pilates and, lo and behold, fell in love with it. That’s because she suddenly had no pain after six months doing Pilates. “I did fall in love with the method,” she says and that was the start of it. She is now a Stott Pilates certificate mat instructor trained in the use of specialized Pilates equipment and is a licensed Fletcher towel work, floor work and bar work provider. This allows her to offer

modern, effective and safe Pilates instruction which is now taking place in a state-of-theart facility in Stittsville. Even the premises high ceilings, with the ducts exposed, are meant to provide a setting that allows for relaxed, yet effective Pilates exercise. Pilates can be practiced by just about anyone from serious fitness enthusiasts to young adults to seniors to rehab patients. The emphasis today on prevention, body fitness and the relief of stress is what makes the mind-body aspect of Pilates so appealing. “Pilates is for everybody,” Isabella says. She starts people on the mat where they learn the basic principles of Pilates, namely good form, stability and even proper breathing. They then are ready and able to go on to work on the specialized equipment which IM Pilates Studio has. Mat work also involves the use of some props at times, such as a foam roller that is used to tighten muscles and also to improve balance. And there is also use of the Fletcher towel which is a prop that is like a rolled-up towel that a person can use beneficially. “This is a wonderful tool for the posture,” Isabella says. There is also bar work, using a bar much like would be found in a dance studio but only much, much stronger and more durable. In addition, there is floor work, right on the studio’s cork floor which is another dimension of Pilates.

Isabella has instructed in studios across Ottawa but decided to open her own studio in Stittsville because she wanted to be in a community setting. In addition, she knows that Stittsville is a fast growing community and she knows that having a handy Pilates location right in the community is appealing to many. “It just made sense to have it here,” she says about her new studio. IM Pilates Studio, which is now open, will be operating six days a week. Group classes will start this Monday, Sept. 10. There are also private sessions for those who prefer such a setting. Isabella derives much satisfaction from her instruction work with Pilates because her clients inevitably experience beneficial results and this makes her job extremely satisfying. She finds that Pilates provides the physical basis so that people can then go and do other things that they want to do without pain, such as cycling and running. Pilates, which was pioneered by the late Joseph Pilates, is a mind-body exercise system designed to strengthen the weak and to challenge the strong. Pilates exercises help both men and women develop optimal strength, flexibility, endurance and posture without building bulk or stressing joints. Pilates exercises tone the body and allow a person to feel revitalized and to move with ease. Pilates builds core strength

EMC news - Stittsville artist Mark Grasza uses bright sunny colours in his paintings. Even when they are war scenes. That’s why his two paintings featuring battles in the War of 1812 now on exhibit in the ArtSpace area of the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library have blue skies and lots of colour – British and American soldiers facing off against each other in their red and blue uniforms, resplendent native chiefs, the blue waters of Niagara Falls and the St. Lawrence River, tall sailing ships and landscapes including Niagara Falls itself and the American countryside being invaded across from Crysler’s farm. They are also large oil paintings, three feet by four feet in size, which when combined with Mark’s colourful style make for an eye-catching display at the library. Mark has done a number of paintings featuring the War of 1812, some dating back years such as the Crysler’s Farm battle scene that he did in 1978. He first became interested in the War of 1812 through reading books about the War. Since this is the bicentennial of the beginning of the War of 1812, his War of 1812 paintings are a most appropriate exhibit on the library’s ArtSpace wall where they will be for the month of September.

His War of 1812 paintings on exhibit go hand in hand with the library’s focus on the War of 1812, both this month and in the lead up to this month. In August, the library featured a Goulbourn Museum display on the 100th Regiment of Foot and its battle actions in the War of 1812. Many of these soldiers became the first settlers of Richmond and Goulbourn in 1818. Earlier, the library featured a display of a number of books that have been written about the War of 1812. Besides Mr. Grasza’s paintings on display this month, the Stittsville library is hosting a presentation by Kurt Johnson of Munster on women in the War of 1812, entitled “Perils and Petticoats: The Exceptional Women of the War of 1812.” Mr. Johnson’s presentation will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 25 starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Stittsville library. It is free and open to everyone but those attending must register beforehand with the library. Mr. Grasza, who has lived in Stittsville for ten years, was born in Poland, obtaining his Master of Education degree and teaching in both Poland and Austria. He studied drawing and painting under renowned artists Prof. Boleslaw Czedekowski and Prof. George Lukacz at the Institute of Plastic Arts at the University of Lublin in Poland. In his art, he tries to portray the simplicity of rural life in

Winners Special to the News

EMC sports - For the West Ottawa soccer Girls Under 14 team, the score 2-1 kept coming up in their games in the recent annual end-of-year tournament. When it was all said and done, this Team Arsenal played five games, with four being decided by 2-1 scores. And the most important of these was a 2-1 score in overtime that saw the team win the tournament championship on Sunday, Aug. 26. This team played five games in total in the tournament. There was a victory in its first game. Want to guess the score? Yes, that’s right, 21. A second game also ended in a 2-1 score. Unfortunately, Team Arsenal was on the short end of this score. A third game saw Team Arsenal battle to a 0-0 tie, the team’s only game in the tournament that did not have a 2-1 final score. But this record of a win, tie and loss meant that Team Arsenal made it to the semifinals of the tournament where the team notched a victory by, you guessed it, 2-1 to advance to the championship final. This championship game went into overtime before Team Arsenal emerged as the winner by that same score, 21. Andrea Vervoort of Team Arsenal played hurt in this championship game but was there when needed, scoring the game winning goal for her team.

Mayor’s City Builder Award to Hannah Hempinstall Special to the News

EMC news - Hannah Hempinstall of Richmond shows that one person can make a difference, regardless of age.

And her commitment to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to help find a cure for the disease is an example of her dedicated volunteer service in

the community. That is why she received the Mayor’s City Builder Award at the Ottawa city council meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 29, presented to her by mayor

Jim Watson and Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt. It all started when Hannah’s best friend was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2008, a situation which saw her require multiple daily injections and blood tests to survive. Hannah, in learning all she could about the disease, realized that there is no cure at present. That’s why she started a fundraiser which she called Dance 4 Diabetes or D4D. Her first Dance 4 Diabetes which she held at her school at that time, Richmond Public School, raised more than $2,800. She promised that she would continue the fundraising until a cure is found. So far, over four years, she has raised more than $28,000 with Dance 4 Diabetes events both at Richmond Public School

and Goulbourn Middle School and also at the dance studio that she attends. Hannah, who is now 13, has inspired other youth to reach out and try to help others as well. While doing this fundraising, Hannah has also maintained an honour roll standing, has been elected to student council for three straight years, has dance competitively, has been an assistant teacher at her dance studio, is working on her black belt in kung fu and recently was chosen as the youngest member of the Ottawa Police Youth Advisory Committee. She was also honoured as one of Ontario’s Junior Citizens of the Year in 2011, receiving the award from the LieutenantGovernor. She graduated from grade eight at Goulbourn Middle

That’s because this is not only the first opportunity that you will have to enjoy the midway rides at this year’s Fair but also because it is Toonie Night for the midway rides. It’s a great time to have fun on the midway. Of course, there are other ways to ensure that you have lots of midway fun at this year’s Richmond Fair. Advance midway ride coupons are available. You can get 35 coupons for just $40. Now that’s a great deal, especially if you like to spend a lot of time on the midway or you have lots of family or friends to join you in your riding fun. These advance midway ride coupons can be purchased at the Fair office in the old curling club building on the fairgrounds anytime up to Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. Another great midway deal is the “Pay one price midway” that will be available on Friday, Sept. 14. A $25 bracelet, good from 12 noon to 11 p.m., can be purchased on the midway and allowing unlimited rides – just how many could you enjoy in that time? Another great deal! But, as we all know, the

Richmond Fair is much more than just the midway, although the Robertson Amusements Midway is one of the Fair’s most popular attractions. This year’s Richmond Fair will have Kiddyland offering free entertainment for children; the Countryside Petting Farm & Pony Rides; Little Ray’s “Life Under the Canopy – Animals of the Rain Forest”; Milord Entertainment’s Penquins High Dive Show; Bandaloni, a one man band; Rock The Arts Puppets; the Michael Bourada Magician Show; the Land O’ Lakes Klown and Face Painting Shrine Unit; Agriculture Awareness and Educational Displays; Antique Machinery Exhibits and Displays; wagon ride tours of the fairgrounds for seniors; family entertainment on the outdoor stage; and entertainment in the arena.

Friday, Sept. 14 will see the Jersey and Holstein Dairy Show and the 4H Dairy Showmanship Show; and Saturday, Sept. 15 will see the Western Horse & Pony Performance Show, the Saddle & Harness Horse Show, the Heavy Horse Show, the Junior Shorthorn and Junior Hereford Beef Show, the 4H Beef Showmanship Show, the Saddle and Harness Horse Show and the shorthorn, Angus and Hereford Beef Show. And if this is not enough

animal displays for you, Sunday, Sept. 16 will include the Miniature Horse Show, the Draft and Commercial Horse Show, the Western Horse and Pony Games Show, the Sheep Show, the Limousin and Simmental Beef Show and the hitch classes of the Heavy Horse Show including the always awesome six horse hitch classes. Is this all? Not in your life. There’s even more. There’s a lawn tractor pull on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. There’s the smashing demolition derby on Friday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. There’s the Fair parade along McBean and Perth Streets on Saturday, Sept. 15 at 11 a.m. There’s a non-denominational church service on Sunday, Sept. 16 at 10:30 a.m. There’s a youth amateur talent contest on the outdoor stage on Sunday, Sept. 16 at noon. On Friday, Sept. 14 through Sunday, Sept. 16, the curling club building is filled with exhibits of fruits and vegetables, flowers of all descriptions, baked goods, cakes, cookies, pickles, relishes, handicrafts, quilts, and school work of all descriptions. All of this under one roof – spectacular. And if you get hungry, there are the meals in the Dining Hall as well as lots of food concessions around the grounds. Add in the entertainment happening in the arena from

Friday through Sunday and you can see that there is something – no, there is lots – for everybody at this year’s annual Richmond Fair. There is free admission to the grounds for Thursday evening, Sept. 13. For Friday, Saturday and

Sunday, Sept. 14, 15 and 16, daily admission to the grounds is $10 for those 13 years of age and over, only $2 for those aged 6 to 12 years and free for those aged 5 and under. Advance gate admission tickets are available through www.capitaltickets.ca or at

Poor ergonomics orwork place design may be contributing to your discomfort. Good workplace design can result in overall improved health and safety. It can cause a decreased frequency of musculoskeletal injuries, decreased stress and tension related illnesses, and other health issues such as visual fatigue.

6. Knees should be bent to approximately 90 degrees while seated. 7. Feet should be flat on the floor or supported by a footrest. If your aches and pains persist, contact your local Family Physiotherapist to provide you with plenty more helpful tips, therapy and exercises.

3. Your chair should have sufficient back support that maintains the natural curves of your back.

Ergonomically Correct: Posture 4. The chair surface should have enough friction to avoid in the Workplace any sliding off the seat. 5. The front edge of the seat should not put any pressure to the back of your knees and should not be too far back on the bottom of the thighs.

OCTranspo Route Changes for Stittsville With the inclusion of Stittsville in the Urban Transit Area in 2012, and based on discussions with the community and my office, bus service changes are being made to better serve customers’ travel needs. Route 96A service will be extended to the Goulbourn Recreational Complex (GRC) to provide a new all-day Monday to Friday service (7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.) on Huntmar, Fringewood, and Granite Ridge, to improve access from residential and commercial areas. Stittsville trips on Route 96 will be shortened to end at the GRC. New trips to Terry Fox Station on Route 96 in the afternoon peak period will relieve pressure on busy trips to Stittsville. The hours of service on Route 96 Monday to Friday will be improved in order to move closer to a 24-hour service; the overnight gap in service will be reduced to about two hours. Route 261 will be revised to operate directly south on Stittsville Main Street from Denali to Abbott Street, then east on Abbott Street, and continuing as today to downtown, to reduce travel time, and service will be removed from Beverly. Order of Ottawa The Order of Ottawa will recognize the professional achievements and outstanding service of up to 15 of Ottawa’s most deserving individuals each year. It is intended to recognize those who have made significant contributions through their professional accomplishments to life in the city, in any of the following areas: arts and culture, business, community service, education, public service, labour, communications and media, science, sports and entertainment and other fields of endeavour that benefit Ottawa. Nominations for the Order of Ottawa can be completed online at www.ottawa. ca/orderofottawa. The deadline for submission of nominations is Wednesday, October 10th, 2012. City seeks nominations for Ottawa Immigrant Entrepreneur Awards The City of Ottawa will present its first annual Ottawa Immigrant Entrepreneur Awards at the Ottawa Immigration Forum at City Hall on Monday, October 1, 2012. The forum, organized by the Ottawa Local Immigration Partnership (OLIP), will focus on the theme of “valuing and leveraging the contributions of immigrants for greater prosperity and vibrancy.” Nominations for local immigrant entrepreneurs should be submitted by e-mail to entrepreneur@ottawa.ca no later than September 14, 2012. Further information can be found at http://olip-plio. ca/home. Road safety a priority as children return to school As children head back to school, I would like to remind motorists to be cautious, drive safe and follow the rules of the road, especially near school zones and school buses. Ottawa Police Service will also be focusing on back to school road safety education and enforcement in the coming weeks. Walking or biking to school is a great way for students to get exercise! I encourage students to walk or bike to school to create more of a culture of active transportation in the city. Beverly Street Closure Beverly Street from Pullman Avenue to Jonathon Pack Street will be closed from Monday, 10 September 2012 to Wednesday, 12 September 2012. The closure is required to connect new site services at 29 Beverly Street. Notification signs will be posted in advance of the closure. Local and emergency vehicle access will be maintained. For more information please contact my office. Maple Grove Road Construction Blasting As part of the upgrades to Maple Grove Road from Huntmar to Johnwoods Mattamy Homes will be undertaking blasting in some areas of the road to install the necessary services. Mattamy Homes has advised that that they are prepping for the blasting (drilling and stripping overburden) with the expectation to start blasting the first week of September. Once they start the blasting it will continue for up to 3 months depending on weather and progress. For more information please contact Daniel Potechin at Mattamy Homes at 613-831-3506 or daniel.potechin@mattamycorp.com. I am currently waiting for Mattamy Homes to provide a revised timeline for the entire construction project and when this is available it will be posted on my website. I have been advised that this project has not started within the timelines originally anticipated due delays in approval from various agencies. For additional information on the project please visit http://www.shadqadri.com/plan_trans. htm. Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) Maintenance & Hours The GRC pool will be closed for a period of 3 weeks, from August 26th to September 14th for extended maintenance to the boilers, roof and to grout the entire pool, pool deck and hot tub. Also, the community centre side will be closed for a period of 7 days to touch up the gym floor, polish all of the floors, detail clean all of the rooms, complete paint touch up. The closure is from September 1st to September 7th. It will be re-open on Saturday, September 8th. Programs for recreation and fitness will resume on Saturday, September 8th. During this time my ward office will still remain open for its regular hours Monday 9 am - 2 pm, Wednesday 3pm-8pm, Friday 9am-5pm and Saturday 9am-1pm. Stoop & Scoop Dog waste is a public health hazard, takes the pleasure out of outdoor activities and pollutes the environment. Help improve public opinion of dogs and dog owners - make it a habit to pick up after your dog and to take the waste home to dispose of it on your own premises. The City encourages flushing pet waste down the toilet, as it will be properly treated at the sewage plant. Dog owners can also place the waste in their regular garbage as long as it is properly wrapped in absorbent paper and placed in a sealed, leak proof bag. Failure to pick up after your dog is a by-law offence. Failure to take it home and dispose of it on your own premises is also a by-law offence. Our animals can’t do it themselves so it’s up to us! Going away? Leave your residence in responsible hands As the summer has passed, the Stittsville community has seen a number of incidents where residences have been left in the care of younger family members causing disruption to the community. Due to social media, some of these gatherings have become out of control. Ottawa Police request that you leave your homes in responsible hands for the protection of all residents and guests. Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. I also encourage you to follow me on Twitter and on Facebook.

‘Just good honest home cooking’ at Fair meals John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Roast beef – 300 pounds; potatoes – 330 pounds; carrots – 132 pounds; onions – 10 pounds; pies – 185 including lemon, pumpkin, raisin and fruit. And then there’s hoagies, shepherd’s pie and don’t forget tea, coffee, juice and water. This is the food that St. Paul’s United Church will be serving over the three days that it handles the meals at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds for this year’s Richmond Fair. “Just good honest home cooking,” is how Judy Wagdin describes the food being offered. She and Isabel Thompson are coordinating the efforts of the St. Paul’s congregation in providing the meals at this year’s Fair. Four Richmond churches rotate in providing the meals at the Dining Hall for the first three days of the Fair (Thursday through Saturday), with St. Paul’s last handling this task in 2008. The other churches involved in the annual rotation are St. John’s Anglican Church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and St. Philip Catholic Church. What helps in the planning for the meals and why St. Paul’s knows how many pounds of roast beef, potatoes, carrots and onions are needed this year is because of the records from previous years. Indeed, St. Paul’s first did meals at the Richmond Fair back in 1929, the first church in Richmond to do so. The planning begins in mid-summer with a decision on what to offer on the menu. Two considerations are made; one, to provide something different from other years and , secondly, to keep the price at

the point that the Richmond Agricultural Society wants. This year the prices are the same as last year - $10 for lunch on Thursday, Sept. 13 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; $12 for lunch or dinner on Friday, Sept. 14; and $15 for the allday dinner on Saturday, Sept. 15. A few weeks before the Fair, St. Paul’s circulates a letter to all members of its congregation explaining the volunteer time requirements and other matters such as baking pies. Other than the 185 pies required, very food actual food is sought. That’s because the church holds its annual fall supper in October for which members of the congregation are asked for food donations. So, for the Fair meals, requests are primarily for volunteer help and for donations. There are various shifts for which volunteers are required. On Wednesday evening, Sept. 12, ten volunteers will be needed for setting up the Dining Hall for the meals. Eight volunteers will be required to serve the lunch on Thursday, Sept. 13, working from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 14 will see two shifts of ten volunteers each, one working from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and a second working from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15, which is the busiest day with 800 dinners expected to be served, there again are two shifts but now with 15 volunteers on each shift, one running from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and the other running from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Then, on Saturday evening, Sept. 15, there will be a clean up crew with eight volunteers. The church tries to involve

High school students can qualify for community service hours through this volunteer work. When the three days are completed, St. Paul’s United Church will have served almost 1,300 meals. Based on previous records, there should be at least 120 served on the Thursday, 300 on the Friday and 800 on the Saturday.

Four years ago, in 2008, St. Paul’s United Church made $6,300 from doing the meals at the Richmond Fair. The funds raised go to the church’s general expenses. Well over 250 volunteer hours are given by members of the congregation to make the meals happen. While these generate revenue for the church, members of the congregation also enjoy doing it. It’s fun, says Isabel Thompson, while it also provides an

opportunity for new members of the congregation to meet others and to work alongside them. One good thing is that there is no dish washing involved as disposable plates and utensils are used. There is, though, some washing of the pots and pans used in the cooking and cleaning the serving utensils. This year’s menu for the Dining Hall meals from Thursday, Sept. 13 through Saturday, Sept. 15 offers new

items on both the Thursday and Friday while Saturday will feature the traditional roast beef dinner. On Thursday, Sept. 13 for lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the menu will feature hoagies along with fried rice, Caesar salad, cake and ice cream. The Hoagies will feature meat balls with gravy and onions, topped with cheddar cheese. Friday, Sept. 14 has different menus for the lunch and the dinner. For lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the menu will include pulled pork on a bun, baked beans, green salad and pie. This pulled pork is new on the menu at the Fair this year but the church has had success with pulled pork dinners at the church in the past and feels that it will be popular at this year’s Fair. Dinner on Friday, Sept. 14 will feature shepherd’s pie which is a meat pie with a crust of mashed potatoes, carrots, salad, a bun and pie. The church, which provides homemade frozen food as an ongoing fundraiser, finds that its shepherd’s pie is very popular and it can hardly keep up with the demand. So it is confident that this shepherd’s pie will be enjoyed by those who visit the Dining Hall for the Friday dinner meal. The menu on Saturday, Sept. 15 will see a roast beef dinner served all day long, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. The roast beef dinner will include mashed potatoes, peas and carrots, cole slaw, a bun and pie. All of these meals will also have tea, coffee, milk, juice and water available. In addition, there will be homemade beet pickles available. They are already prepared, with Judy Wagdin making them using beets fresh from Al Eaton’s garden. They will be delicious.

Asbestos in Quebec election John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - For ďŹ ve months now, every Wednesday, Rev. Michel Dubord of Richmond and a small group of supporters have been holding one-hour Wednesday afternoon vigils at prominent locations in Richmond, Stittsville and Kanata, protesting the export of cancer-causing asbestos from Canada to developing countries. And while Rev. Dubord, with his four by eight foot sign “End Export of Canadian Cancer – Asbestos,â€? has attracted the attention of passing motorists, sometimes receiving honks or waves of support, it has been a campaign that has not only tested his endurance, ranging from the cold of an April afternoon when he and his supporters bundled up wearing toques to the heat of a July vigil, but also has challenged his pride of country, given that the export of cancer-causing asbestos seems so contrary to the kind of principled actions that Canada usually takes on the international stage. So, you can see how statements in the Quebec provincial election gave Rev. Dubord a douse of hope and faith that the export of asbestos may cease, along with the mining of asbestos in Canada. Just before Canada Day, the Quebec Liberal government announced a $58 million loan to cover much of the cost of renovating and re-opening the Jeffrey Mine in Asbestos, Quebec, allowing asbestos production to continue for another couple of decades. But in the Quebec provincial election, ďŹ rst the new Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ)

party and then the Parti Quebecois (PQ) both came out against the mining of asbestos and its export. The CAQ stated that the export of such cancer causing material goes against the values of Quebec society and vowed to stop its export and use the $58 million loan funds to help promote other industrial activity. And then PQ party leader Pauline Marois got aboard the anti-asbestos bandwagon. “Marois vows to shut down Quebec’s asbestos industry,� blared the headline in the Thursday, Aug. 30 Ottawa Citizen, as she pledged, if elected, to cancel the $58 million loan to the asbestos industry and to take Quebec out of the asbestos mining and exporting business while consulting with workers in Asbestos about how to diversify that regional economy to replace the asbestos industry. Rev. Dubord wishes that the Anglican Church would have made a public statement protesting the export of asbestos from Canada but no such statement has yet been forthcoming. Indeed, Rev. Dubord’s involvement in the issue began at the Anglican Church Synod in 2011 when an overwhelming majority voted in favour of his motion to “advocate the end of Canadian exports of asbestos by directing Diocesan Council to have letters written to this effect to the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec and to consult with the Episcopal Government Relations Panel and the dioceses of Montreal and Quebec to explore other possible avenues of advocacy.� However, despite this motion, nothing formal in the way of protest of the export policy has yet

come forward from Anglican Church ofďŹ cials. But, nonetheless, Rev. Dubord will be out continuing his protest, holding his weekly Wednesday vigil at Memorial Park in Richmond throughout the month of September. He will be there from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday in the month with everyone welcome to join him if they wish. He is just coming off holding the vigils in Stittsville where the protest was noticed by numerous motorists, hopefully raising awareness of the issue in their minds. There are documented links between asbestos and cancer. This has prompted numerous countries, including Canada itself, to stop using asbestos. In the early 1900’s, Canadian asbestos accounted for 85 percent of the world’s production. After peaking in 1973, production has slowly declined as exposure to asbestos was linked to serious health problems such as lung disease and cancer. By 2010, Canada was producing only ďŹ ve percent of the world’s asbestos, some 100,000 tonnes. For Rev. Dubord, who has undertaken this protest action on his own accord and not in his role as rector at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond, he sees the matter quite simply. Asbestos is not used in Canada because of its documented health issues, namely that is causes cancer. And yet Canada permits the export of this material to developing countries where it will adversely impact the health of all those who work with it. Asbestos has been removed at a large cost from the Parlia-

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Rev. Michel Dubord of Richmond looks at an article headlined “Marois vows to shut down Quebec’s asbestos industry� in the Thursday, Aug. 30 issue of the Ottawa Citizen, telling how Parti Quebecois leader Pauline Marois has pledged to halt asbestos mining and exporting in Quebec if elected in the provincial election. Rev. Dubord has been on a months-long campaign seeking the end of the export of asbestos from Canada to developing countries. ment Buildings due to health concerns and yet the current federal government still allows its export to development countries for use there. Rev. Dubord does not blame the people of the Asbestos area in Quebec for working in the asbestos industry. After all, it means jobs and a livelihood for them. But he believes that the governments could come up with some alternative employment strategies for that area to offset the shutdown of the asbestos industry. This appears to be what both the CAQ and the PQ parties advocated in the election campaign. The World Health organization estimates that asbestos-related diseases including certain forms of lung cancer kill more than 105,000 people around the world each year.

These deaths are the result of asbestos-related lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis, all caused by inhaling asbestos ďŹ bres. In Canada, asbestos use is not banned but because of its known health risks, Canadians simply do not use it. But despite these known health hazards, Canada exports thousands of tones of asbestos each year to countries like India, Thailand and Indonesia. Most of this Canadian asbestos is shopped overseas as loose ďŹ bre in bags. Workers in these receiving countries then dump these bags of asbestos by hand, creating clouds of carcinogenic dust swirling around them. Rev. Dubord notes that exposure to asbestos in the countries to which Canada is exporting the substance will

cause health problems, perhaps not today but certainly down the road as the asbestos ďŹ bres penetrate the lungs of its handlers and start causing respiratory and cancer problems and eventually a prolonged death. Chrysotile asbestos is mined in Quebec and exported to developing countries with the support of the current Canadian federal government. Asbestos ends up killing since it sheds tiny dust ďŹ bres continuously. Once inhaled, these ďŹ bres become tangled with lung tissues where they cause cancer, typically lung cancer, asbestosis and mesothelioma.

Legion supports Cadets Special to the News

EMC news - Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Lanark, 2870 Royal Canadian Dragoons Army Cadet Corps and 706 Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron have all received recent financial support from the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion. This is the first time that the Stittsville Legion has provided financial assistance to all three of these local Cadet organizations. The Lanark Sea Cadets is a Sea Cadet Unit that parades out of Carleton Place, attracting Cadets from a wide catchment area going from Stittsville to as far west as Perth. Youth who join this Sea Cadet program learn valuable seamanship and sailing skills along with leadership training, sports and fitness and team building. This Lanark Sea Cadets Unit has been operating for 45 years now, with interest in the

program now at an all-time high. Youth between the ages of 12 and 18 are welcome to join. Anyone interested should drop in at 137 John Street in Carleton Place where the Sea Cadets meet and parade on Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The 706 Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron has been in existence since 1960. The name may have changed over the years and the location of its regular parade night may have moved now and then but the 706 Squadron number is associated with a long and proud history. Now with over 100 active Cadets, the 706 Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron is a vibrant squadron that provides exciting challenges to youth between the ages of 12 and 18. These activities centre around flying and aviation but there are also other courses like first aid, survival, biathalon and music, making it a wellrounded program for all youth to enjoy.

The 706 Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron’s motto is “On the Move” and the Cadets always are. There are field trips like gliding days, power flights and wilderness weekends throughout the year, with even the newest Cadets taking part. All Cadet programs have no registration fees or dues. Cadets are simply expected to do their best each and every week. The 706 Snowy Owl Air Cadet Squadron meets on Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. from September through June at the Connaught Range off Carling Avenue between Moodie Drive and March Road.

OC Transpo service changes Special to the News

EMC news - Improved service in Stittsville is one of the enhancements that have been made by OC Transpo for its fall schedule which became effective on Sunday, Sept. 2. Additional trips to reduce crowding and to improve service on Route 96 have been implemented. In addition, higher capacity buses during the busiest times are to be used on Route 96. These service improvements are happening because Stittsville is now fully included in OC Transpo’s Urban Transit Area and because of community input and customer needs. Route 96 will now end at the Goulbourn Recreation

Complex (GRC). In addition, the hours of service on Route 96 during the week (Monday to Friday) are being improved to move closer to a 24 hour service. There will be new trips to the Terry Fox OC Transpo Station for Route 96 in the afternoon peak period to relieve pressure on routes to Stittsville. Route 96A service is being extended to the GRC to provide a new all-day Monday to Friday service on Huntmar Drive, Fringewood Drive and Granite Ridge Drive. This service will run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Route 261 has been revised to operate directly south on Stittsville Main Street from Jackson Trails to Abbott Street and then east on Abbott

What’s up, doc, in Stittsville?

At our most recent City Council meeting of August 29th, 2012, I had the absolute pleasure of assisting Mayor Jim Watson in presenting the Mayor’s City Builder award to Richmond’s very own, Hannah Hempinstall. This is not the ďŹ rst time I’ve mentioned Hannah and it’s not even the ďŹ rst time I’ve presented her with something as she was the recipient of the 2011 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Award, for which she received a certiďŹ cate of congratulations from the City. Ever since her best friend was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, Hannah has committed herself to raising money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in order to assist them in ďŹ nding a cure. Her fundraising began with the inaugural Dance 4 Diabetes event at Richmond Public School, which raised $2,800. Since then, she has included D4D events at Goulbourn Middle School and the Canadian School of Dance pushing her fundraising total up over $28,000. Hannah is a true role model in our community and it’s hard to believe that she’s achieved so much at only 13 years of age. Clearly, she is only just beginning. The only downside about Hannah is that coming off of three consecutive, successful election campaign victories on student council; it’s really only a matter of time before she is running against me for my job. She’ll be eligible to run in the 2018 election and, if I’m fortunate enough to still be around, I’ll be the old guy at 37 years old. Congratulations Hannah on receiving the City Builder Award, another accolade on a list of many you’ve already received, well deserved each and every one of them. It’s a pleasure to call Hannah a friend and I look forward to continuing to support Dance 4 Diabetes in any way I can.

BUDGET 2013: HAVE YOUR SAY http://www.JimWatsonOttawa.ca

In our ďŹ rst two years, City Council delivered ON OUR COMMITMENT TO KEEPING TAX INCREASES below 2.5 per cent, and in the upcoming 2013 budget we will do the same. This allows us to continue to invest in our communities, our infrastructure, our transit system and our families in a ďŹ scally responsible manner. Budget 2013 will be tabled on October 24, which means that between now and then I am looking for your input. I am going to be speaking with families and businesses, and consulting with Councillors and staff, on how WE CAN CONTINUE TO KEEP TAXES UNDER CONTROL while protecting the services residents EXPECT This is a collaborative effort and I value the constructive input I receive each year during the budget consultation process. Last year, I heard consistently from residents that our roads, sidewalks and other INFRASTRUCTURE WERE NOT UP TO PAR &ROM THIS feedback came the creation of the Ottawa on the Move program. We took bold action with a $340-million investment over three years to improve our transportation network for drivers, transit users, cyclists and pedestrians. You can relay your budget ideas by e-mail to budget2013@ottawa.ca and on Twitter using the hashtag #ottbudget. There will also be in-person budget consultations held across Ottawa in late October, which I encourage you to attend. It is important that residents are engaged in this process and I will be doing all that I can to ensure that your voices are heard. It is also important that we receive speciďŹ c suggestions on how to save money. 7E DELIVERED ON OUR TAX COMMITMENT IN 2011 and 2012 and I look forward to doing it again in 2013 with the help and insight from residents.

Photos at the Fair John Curry

EMC news - Shutter bugs – the Richmond Fair can be your photographic studio. That’s because the Richmond Fair has a photo competition that is open to the public and deals with photos, either digital or film, that are taken at this year’s Richmond Fair. Deadline for submission of entries is Nov. 1, 2012. Sponsored by the Richmond Ag-

ricultural Society along with the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies, this photo competition is being held to help publicize the activities of agricultural societies, to create pride in creation of well-kept grounds and buildings, to encourage more attractive staging of exhibitions and displays, to educate and provide a source of pride in a community, to communicate new ideas to other fairs and to establish a library of photo images for promotions by the Ontario Association of Agricultural

Societies. Those entering may submit only one entry in each category in the competition. Professional photographers are not permitted in the competition. All winning entries will be sent on to the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies competition at its annual convention in February 2013. Prize money will be $4 for first place, $3 for second place and $2 for third place in the various categories. There are 16 categories for digital images, ranging over four general topics of human involvement, displays, animals and promotional. Hu-

man involvement covers youth participation, adult/senior involvement, candid shots of people having fun at the fair and candid shots of someone tuckered out from participation in the fair. Displays covers a most unusual display, 4H involvement at the fair, Homecraft at the Fair, live action shows and quilts/handicrafts at the fair. Animals covers livestock, a pet show, live demonstrations and birds/small animals. Promotional covers showing a fair’s identification, fair ambassador involvement and the fair’s theme. Categories for prints which must be mounted on Bristol board include children at the fair, people/creatures

and critters at the fair and something “new� at the fair. There is also a category called “Advertising Your Fair� which is to be an 8 inch by 10 inch print showing a fair sign constructed of agricultural products showing the fair and its date. This could be in a store window or on a front lawn or in a field. All of the entries in this photo competition will be judged for quality of the photo or digital image (focus, angle of shot and lighting), content of the picture (viewer appeal and fair involvement), educational value (informative and promotional) and fair identification (showing ribbons or signs, for example).

Graduation ceremony John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Amillea Duncan, left, and Olivia Shaw, right, hold the mortarboard signs which they carried in the Sunday School graduation ceremony at the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church in Stittsville on Sunday, Aug. 26.

EMC news - It had all the trappings of any graduation. All the graduates were looking spiffy, with some of the girls even sporting fascinators in their hair. They all were carrying little signs shaped like mortarboards. There were mortarboard decorations hanging from the hallway ceiling, along with signs congratulating the graduates. And as the graduates marched in to the room packed with parents and friends, that ever-familiar graduation music, Pomp and Circumstance aka The Graduation March played, just like at any high school graduation. Yes, it was a graduation ceremony par excellence. And this ceremony on Sunday, Aug. 26 marked the graduation of 39 children and youth in the Sunday School at the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. These children “graduate” when they pass from one Sunday School class to another, such as those in the Toddlers class moving on to the Kindergarten class. Each graduate was called up to the front where he or she received a graduation diploma as well as the applause of the onlooking spectators as each group was honoured. There were the Toddlers, the Kindergarten class (4 and 5 year olds), the Beginner class (a big one with three teachers required), the Primary class (8 and 9 year olds), the Pre-Teen class (ages 10 and 11), the Teen class and the Youth class whose sole graduate this year, Ryan Faubert, will be joining the Sunday School teaching group. The Stittsville United Pentecostal Church holds this Sunday School graduation ceremony at the end of August, just before the children and youth will be starting a new Sunday School year, many in their new classes as they have “graduated” from their previous one. The ceremony is delayed from June because

everything tends to be so busy at the end of June and this way, the graduation happens just before the children and youth join their new class. Besides honouring all those who are moving on to a new Sunday School class, the “graduation” ceremony also honours a “Teacher of the Year.” This goes to a Sunday School teacher who has shown creativity throughout the Sunday School year, capturing the attention of the students. Nashola Shaw was this year’s “Teacher of the Year.” A special presentation highlighted by a bouquet of flowers and a standing ovation was made to Sunday School director Cindy Dummitt for her work in organizing and guiding the Sunday School throughout the Year. The Sunday School at the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church is flourishing, with upwards of 90 children and youth involved. The “graduates” at this Sunday School graduation ceremony were as follows: Toddlers: Giana Gallimore, Walker Doucette and Didi Gill; Kindergarten: Connor Doucette, Myra Laurin, Sequoia Clarke and Javaii Gallimore; Beginner: Simeon Etienne, Joshua Catalusi, Jeremy Catalusi, Sarah Gill, Babin Rai, Trishna Rai, Lydia Eyob, Leah Eyob, Olivia Shaw, Amillea Duncan, Ethan Dummitt and Sandip Rai; Primary: Jadyn Charles, Danie Maxellus, Abbi Dyer, Rebecca Bisimwa, Abby Farquharson and Davien Richards; Pre-Teen: Chayleena Brown, Abigail Eyob, Esna Dorastin, Kevin Catalusi, Judith Etienne, Leah Farquharson, Joseph Carl and Miriam Bisimwa; Teen: Erlin Dorastin, Sushaina Bruno, Adinah Metenda, Thania Rosalva and Marico Fletcher; Youth: Ryan Faubert. The Stittsville United Pentecostal Church is located at 2031 Stittsville Main Street at Stanley’s Corners.

As a result, safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus

A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time.

idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over. • Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no sidewalk is present, walk on the opposite side of the street facing oncoming traffic. • Wait for the bus at the designated stop. Don’t wander away. • Do not go into the street while waiting for the bus to arrive. • Do not roughhouse or run around with friends while waiting for the bus to arrive. • Wait for the bus a safe distance away from the street until the bus stops and opens the door. • Walk one-by-one onto the bus. Do not push or crowd the doorway. • Once on the bus, quickly find a seat and sit down. • If there is a seatbelt, fasten it. (Children should be familiar with how to latch a seatbelt.) • Do not put your head, arms or anything else out of the bus window. • Keep the bus aisle clear of backpacks or other items. • Keep voices down so not to distract the driver. • Listen to the driver. • Do not throw things on the bus. • Unbuckle your seatbelt only when the bus has stopped at the school (or your stop at home)and the door is open. • Exit the bus slowly and do not push. • If you must cross the street when exiting the bus, do so in front of the bus so the driver can see you..

Reason’s to Choose Pointe of Grace

Others may be nervous about what’s in store. The best way to prepare children is to think about enrolling them in some sort of social program. Preschool is the avenue many parents choose, but simply spending time together with other kids in a structured social setting is enough for many kids to get acclimated. Talking about what to expect at school can also ease jitters. Parents can establish a school-like structure at home to illustrate their points. Have set times for meals and snacks, require small chores be done on time and set additional rules and limits. Bed time and wake times should be the same each day as well. Children who are unaccustomed to having structure may find the rigors of the classroom scary. Parents should inquire about touring the school to help calm kids’ nerves. This way children will see exactly what environment they will be working in each day. Honing skills Children will partake in a variety of activities during kindergarten. They’ll begin learning to write and perform other activities that require fine motor skills. Parents can introduce their children to pencils, crayons, markers, and safety scissors so they can learn the proper grip and how to maneuver these tools. It’s also never too early to read

with children. Studies indicate that children who frequently read with their parents or others tend to have greater success in school. The National Education Association says that children who were read to frequently are more likely to: • count to 20, or higher than those who were not • write their own names • read or pretend to read The Educational Testing Services reports that students who do more reading at home are better readers and have higher math scores. Kindergarten is a child’s initial foray into the world of academia. Much has changed in the kindergarten curriculum, and parents can expect their kids to be learning much more in kindergarten than they once did.

Kindergarten used to be a time when kids grabbed a nap in between fingerpainting and playing outside, but today’s coursework is much more rigorous and kindergarteners are now introduced to concepts that were once taught in later years of elementary school. Preparing children who have never attended school for their first day could take a little time prior to the start of school. Signing up for school Each school district has its own requirements to begin kindergarten, so parents should familiarize themselves with their school district as soon as possible. One of the primary requirements is age. Children generally have to meet a certain age requirement (usually age 5), meaning their birthdays have to take place prior to or by a cut-off date. Public schools will also require proof of residence. They often require utility bills with the student’s address on them. Private schools typically have more lenient residence requirements. Most entering students also will need to have received all the necessary vaccinations. If the student has not received all immunizations, he or she will need to do so before enrolling. Getting prepared Some children are anxious to be “big kids” and begin school.

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO Some schools implement costume restrictions Dressing up in a costume and participating in parties and parades at school is part of the excitement of Halloween for children. Many schools across the country have some sort of Halloween festivities where children are encouraged to don their costumes and show off for friends and family. However, before parents run out and purchase costumes, they may want to check with schools to see if there are any limitations on kids’ costumes. Many schools have implemented guidelines on Halloween costumes and could have strict rules as to what is and is not acceptable. Schools often put these rules in place

for the protection of children. They want to shield younger children from very scary costumes that may lead to nightmares. Costume restrictions also include costumes that may mock race, gender and personal handicaps. Weapons of any kind, including fake weapons, are typically prohibited. Most schools are not interested in promoting or glorifying violence. Therefore, a pirate may have to leave his sword home. A girl dressed as a police officer may have to go sans gun or handcuffs. Parents who are unfamiliar with the guidelines should err on the side of caution. Restrictions are often imposed

TAEKW

on: • costumes that depict gangs and horror characters or are overly scary; • weapons of any kind; • costumes that demean race, religion, nationality, handicapped condition, or gender; • costumes with obstructive masks; and • overly sexy costumes. Other schools are coming up with their own guidelines on costumes that are even more strict than banning goblins and zombies. In 2009 a Texas school issued suggestions for “positive costumes,â€? which included historical characters or healthy food items.

Some parents do not necessarily want schools to police Halloween costumes. There are those who believe that responsibility falls on parents and that common sense should prevail. But schools do not want to risk alienation or negative press surrounding fun events like Halloween parades. Therefore, most prefer to take extra caution on what costumes are allowed. Before spending money on elaborate Halloween costumes, parents should learn the policies on clothing and accessories implemented by their child’s school. This way they don’t have to return that stealth ninja costume come October 30.

Poppy campaign, horseshoes at Stittsville Legion Ringette Barb Vant’Slot Special to the News

The first meeting for this year’s poppy campaign took place on Tuesday, Aug. 28 with a good turnout of volunteers but many more are needed. Barb Vant’Slot will be filling in time slots for poppy locations. She will be approaching members to volunteer for certain times. The Legion’s horseshoe season finale was held on Saturday, Aug. 25 with a seven-team round robin to determine the season champion. The team of Dan McInnis and Fred Appel was the winner. This was the first horseshoe season at the Legion for a number of years and it was a big success. There was a learning curve for both the organizers and players and there will be several changes made next year to make the horseshoes even more enjoyable.

Major trunk sewer for Fernbank lands Special to the News

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

EMC news - Look for development to really begin in earnest in the Fernbank lands in the near future. Installation of a major trunk sewer line which will serve the development area is to begin. This will open the development door for all of the subdivisions that are in the planning stages for the Fernbank lands, all of which at present are south of the Trans Canada Trail. There have been

no development applications submitted yet for the lands north of the Trans Canada Trail. This is because these lands drain to the Carp River and additional studies and works regarding ood control measures are needed before development can proceed. The Fernbank lands south of the Trans Canada Trail drain to the Monaghan Drain and the Flewellyn Drain and eventually to the Jock River, a different watershed.

Series of courses to help build strong families Golf and Country Club, with Steve Madley of CFRA Radio as the keynote speaker. But then this dinner will be followed by a series of courses focused around building strong families. The courses will include marriage preparation, marriage, parenting children and parenting teenagers. These are courses that were developed in the United Kingdom and are now being offered in many countries around the world. The courses are fun, informative and virtually free, with the only cost

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A new Stittsville/ Kanata initiative is not only going to involve a fun and informative evening on Wednesday, Sept. 19 but is also going to lead to opportunities to strengthen families in the area, helping to build a strong community. Called “Building Strong Families,� this initiative will kick off with a dinner and information event on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at the Kanata

being the course materials which are less than $10 per course. See the website www.buildingstrongfamilies.ca for more information. The courses for Stittsville and Kanata will be offered on different nights and at different locations so that as many as possible can attend. In his keynote address at the Sept. 19th dinner, Steve Madley will share his thoughts on the importance of strong families in communities. At the dinner, there will also be introductions given about the various

courses being offered. The courses will start within three weeks following the dinner. Cost of attending the dinner is $20 per person or $35 for two ($30 for the ďŹ rst 75 tickets sold). This initiative is a project of a group of concerned citizens in the area who want to so something to help with the problems that are prevalent in society today. Marriages are breaking down because people struggle to talk and relate to each other and to understand each other. Chil-

dren struggle with bullying, drugs, guns, peer pressure and suicide. All of this affects not only the immediate people involved but also local neighbourhoods and communities. It is not good enough to rely on instinct or trial and error to solve these problems. That’s why these courses are so important; they can help in improving parenting skills, assist preparation for marriage or improve existing marriages. And when this happens, it means strong communities.

Then on Tuesday, Sept. 4, the Royals hosted an evening pre-season exhibition game at the GRC against the visiting Renfrew Timberwolves. This was followed up by another exhibition game at the GRC on Wednesday, Sept. 5 against the Almonte Thunder. The Royals are then taking to the road to play exhibition games in Pakenham, Renfrew, Alymer and Arnprior from Thursday, Sept. 6 through Saturday, Sept. 8.

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories We much preferred Father over Mother when it came to discipline. Father was so soft-hearted he could never come to give us a swat even if we deserved it. Mother felt a disobedient child would never amount to a hill of beans and not only did she on occasion have a heavy hand, she was quick to use it. Often Mother would say to Father, “Those children have to be dealt with. You look after it Albert.â€? This meant a trip to the drive shed, Father lighting his pipe, we ďŹ ve kids shifting from one foot to the other while awaiting our punishment. Mother was sure Father was in the shed giving us a few whacks with the strap and to make it sound like we were really being punished Father would slap the strap against his work table, Emerson would yelp like a wounded puppy and eventually we would stagger out of the drive shed pretending to be almost mortally wounded from the blows that never came. Late one summer, there was an incident. My sister Audrey blamed it on the heat. Emerson said it was because school would be going back in a couple days. Whatever the reason, there erupted on the front lawn the most glorious ďŹ ght of all time. It started when Emerson threw a pail of water on Earl, most of which missed him and caught Audrey square in the face, which completely ruined the curls she got by enduring her hair being tied up in rags all night. She grabbed the pail out of Emerson’s

Your Community Newspaper

Children in our household preferred Father’s style of punishment ... or not hand and was all set to swat him with it, when Everett grabbed the handle, wrenched it from her, and caught me, the innocent bystander, square on the backside. It didn’t hurt in the least, but always ready to make the most of any situation getting out of hand I started to roar as if I had been hit with a two-by-four. It didn’t take Mother long to come out of the house to see what all the uproar was about. She always let us settle our own battles, refusing to listen to anyone who was about to tattle. But this was no ordinary disagreement. Audrey was standing on the pump stand, screaming, the three brothers were rolling on the grass and I was wailing that I thought my back was broken. Father, if he heard the ruckus, was ignoring it. Mother found him in the cow byre and she insisted he take us all into the drive shed and “deal with the whole lot of them.â€? Father took his pipe out of his mouth and pointed it towards the open doors, not saying a word. He put a stern look on his face and followed us all through the double doors. The heat of the day was on our side. Father had been up since dawn and even though it was early in the day, he looked wilted and tired out. He didn’t look like he was in any mood to dole out punishment. He asked Audrey what happened to her hair, he told Everett when the discipline was over he was to ďŹ ll the watering trough, Emerson was to sort the newly bought nails into the tin cans on

the shelf, Earl was to feed the chickens, and with a big wink in my direction, he said, “And you young lady have to come to Briscoe’s General Store with me.â€? But he wasn’t ďŹ nished with me yet, “You’ll have to eat the humbugs Mr. Briscoe gives you every time you go in the store.â€? Father knew I hated humbugs with a passion. “Or you can bring them home and give them to Queenie‌ that old horse sure loves humbugs.â€? He then gave me another big wink. Just before he let us out of the drive shed, he gave the work table another couple good whacks with the old leather strap, Emerson let out a few roars as if he had come in direct contact with it, Earl developed the usual snifes and Audrey, who we all knew was too old to strap, said, “Yes I know not to get involved the next time with any ďŹ ghts.â€? Father told me to go and wait for him beside the buggy. He walked, ďŹ lling his pipe at the same time, towards the kitchen door. “Have to run over to Briscoe’s,â€? he said through the screen. “Mary’s coming with me. And they’ve all been dealt with,â€? he added over his shoulder. Mother seemed satisďŹ ed. I once heard her tell Mrs. Beam that she “could always depend on Albert to discipline the children. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to handle all ďŹ ve of them.â€? And for that, we ďŹ ve kids were mighty grateful.

FOOD & NEWS

Neither cake nor cookies

Your Community Newspaper

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff

One of my favourite Bill Cosby stories is one in which he tries to persuade his wife that it was okay for him to give their kids chocolate cake for breakfast. She doesn’t believe his defence of “They made me do it! They made me give them chocolate cake!” So he falls back on what he figures is a winning argument. “But cake is good for you. There’s all sorts of good stuff in it - there’s wheat and eggs and milk.” Needless to say, he doesn’t persuade her. When I saw this recipe for “Breakfast Cookies,” I immediately thought of Cosby’s story. These cookies also have a lot of “good stuff” in them: molasses, eggs, milk, oatmeal, flour, bran and raisins. While I don’t recommend cookies for breakfast, these make a good after-school snack, especially when eaten with an apple. And they’re not just for kids. Grown-ups like them too. Breakfast Cookies 3/4 cup margarine (not the spreadable type, but the type sold in blocks), softened

3/4 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 3 tbsp. molasses 1/2 cup milk 1 cup flour 1 cup bran 2 cups oatmeal 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups raisins In a mixing bowl, cream the margarine and sugar. Add the eggs and molasses, and mix well. Stir in the milk then add the remaining ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Drop heaping tablespoons of batter 2.5 centimetres apart on a greased baking sheet. Flatten each cookie with a fork dipped in cold water. Bake the cookies at 350 F (175 C) for eight to 10 minutes or until the cookies begin to brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool before removing them from the baking sheet. Makes 2 to 3 dozen.
