EMC news - Homeless veterans are a recently discovered and growing issue. That’s why the Royal Canadian Legion has launched a “Leave the Streets Behind� program to raise funds for this hidden problem. It’s hidden because former soldiers are notorious for not asking for help and are reluctant to admit that circumstances may have gotten beyond their control. Their self-reliance, which made them good soldiers, hinders them in seeking basic support that they should be receiving to keep them healthy and off the streets. The Royal Canadian Legion has allocated $500,000 to this program, working through Royal Canadian Legion branches like the one here in Stittsville to provide support to needy veterans. This help can take the form of dental and medical assistance, food and rent. To increase awareness of this problem and also to raise funds for the “Leave the Streets Behind� program, a fundraising BBQ is being held this coming Saturday, Sept. 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Giant Tiger store at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. In addition, both Giant Tiger and Sobey’s in Stittsville will be seeking $2 donations at their cashier check-outs starting this Saturday, Sept. 22 and continuing through to Friday, Sept. 28. There has been corporate support in Stittsville for this “Leave the Streets Behind� initiative. Sobey’s in Stittsville will not only be asking for donations at its cashes from this Saturday, Sept. 22 through Friday, Sept. 28 but also is donating food for this Saturday’s fundraising BBQ. Giant Tiger itself is not only hosting the BBQ but is donating food for it. Customers at Giant Tiger will be asked at the cash check-out all week long, from Saturday, Sept. 22 through Friday, Sept. 28 for $2 donations for the “Leave the Streets Behind� program. Lowes on Hazeldean Road is also supporting the program as is Rental Village, also on Hazeldean Road, which is providing the BBQ, tables, chairs and tents for the BBQ at Giant Tiger. Everyone is urged to support this fundraising BBQ this Saturday, Sept. 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Giant Tiger in Stittsville. Your support of Canada’s homeless veterans is most vital and will be most appreciated. It is expected that there will be representatives from both the Royal Canadian Legion’s Provincial Command in Toronto and from the Royal Canadian Legion’s Dominion Command headquarters in Kanata at this fundraising BBQ this Saturday, Sept. 22. Legion members, Cadets, veterans, Canadian Forces members are also expected to be in attendance. Politicians including city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and CarletonMississippi Mills MP and retired Brigadier General Gordon O’Connor have also been invited. Assistance provided through the “Leave the Streets Behind� program to homeless veterans can include assistance for medical needs, assistive devices, emergency transportation and other emergency assistance such as rental payments, furnishings assistance, moving expenses, utility payments, shelter and food. Canadian veterans of all ages and their families are eligible for assistance from the program.

EMC news - Last year there was one. This year eight more were added, a good start on the overall goal to line the interior walls of the old curling club building housing the agricultural awareness program at the Richmond Fair with murals depicting farm scenes. The murals are being done by high school students with one done by an Algonquin College student. The murals, done on four foot by eight foot panels, are accompanied by a sign at each mural identifying the high school involved and the names of the artists and the supervising teacher or teachers. Three farm scene murals done by students at John McCrae Secondary School in Barrhaven which were erected for this year’s Fair do not have signs since the students signed the artwork.

scene murals in total erected on the walls at the far or southern end of the old curling club building, farthest away from the fairgrounds entrance. Two of the murals, the one last year and a new one this year, have been done by Stittsville’s Sacred Heart Catholic High School students. The inaugural mural erected for last year’s Fair was done by students Jessica Weimer, Brooke Slepanki, Lauren Taylor, Andrea Brazier, Natalie Brazier and Michelle Dingley under the guidance of teacher Leydin Mullaly. The mural features a red barn in the background with a crop of wheat in the foreground. The new farm scene mural done for this year’s Fair by Sacred Heart students features a heavy horse with a building in the background. Members of the Sacred Heart painting club who did this mural are Lauren Taylor, Brooke Slepanki, Emily Taylor, Lana Souaid and Christina Van Leeuwen. Ley-

Richmond Agricultural Society director John Gil, who is in his third year of being in charge of the Fair’s agricultural awareness program, is the one who came up with the idea of farm scene murals on the interior walls of the old curling club building as a way of getting high school students involved and also as a way of making the building more attractive as the home of the agricultural awareness program. The goal of the agricultural awareness program is to teach youngsters about food and where it comes from, ie. from farmers. The program is geared to elementary school students. Each Fair Friday, hundreds of students tour the building on organized school visits. Mr. Gil sees lining the interior walls of the old curling club building with farm scene murals as one part of his goal of developing a superlative agricultural awareness program at the Richmond Fair. He feels that the farm scene murals not only enhance the agricultural awareness program and its impact on fairgoers but that the murals also give high school students a chance to display their artistic talents.

din Mullhally was again the teacher advisor. Three new murals this year were done by students at Richmond’s South Carleton High School while there are also the three murals done by John McCrae Secondary School students. The murals done by South Carleton High School students are entitled “Sunset and Corn Field,” “Large Corn Cob and Field,” and “Cows.” SCHS students who worked on the “Sunset and Corn Field” mural were Nick Economo, Breanne Leger, Rebekka Stiller and Alanah Alibhai. The teachers involved were Jack Eyamie, Natalie Johnston, Jennifer Stead and Hilary March. These teachers advised on all three of the murals created at South Carleton. SCHS students who did the “Large corn Cob and Field” mural are Nick Economo, Daniel Sanders, Scott SaderHarrison and Bryanne Carruthers. SCHS students who worked on the “Cows” mural are Breanne Leger, Rebekka Stiller and Alanah Alibhai. In addition, there is a mural entitled “Timeless” done by Emily Ross, a student at Algonquin College.
Her talk will be entitled “Trust, Miracles and Thankfulness.” The Sunday services at the Community Bible Church will take place at 9 a.m. and again at 10:45 a.m. Both services are open to the public, with everyone welcome, especially those who wish to hear Helene’s story in person. Helene is coming to the Community Bible Church because it played a role in her story. A year and a half ago, each family at the Community Bible Church was given a $100 bill and asked to go show God’s love to someone in need. This resulted in a number of initiatives helping others. One member of the congregation took his $100 and launched a website for a family friend, namely Helene Campbell. It was this website that went viral, resulting in organ donations increasing and Helene eventually receiving her new lungs. “It all started with that thing out of our church,” said Community Bible Church pastor Rev. Steve Stewart. And the rest is history. You can hear all about this history and the full story directly from Helene Campbell herself this Sunday, Sept. 23 at the 9 a.m. service or the 10:45 a.m. service at the Community Bible Church. The Community Bible Church is located on Stittsville Main Street beside the Stittsville Post Office.

Duke of Edinburgh’s gold award Brier Dodge Brier.dodge@metroland. com EMC news - A gold level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has come to Stittsville. This is special enough but what made it even more special is the fact that it was presented by royal hands, namely those of Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex and son of his Royal Highness Prince Philip, founder of the award program 50 years ago. Alexandra Vincent of Stittsville as one of 130 youth from across Canada who received the gold level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at a ceremony at the Ottawa Convention Centre on Wednesday, Sept. 12. Now a student at Carleton University where she is studying biomedical mechanical engineering, Alex achieved her bronze, silver and gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards as a student at Elmwood School in Ottawa. There she was a student leader for younger students, helping them accomplish their bronze and silver level awards. She particularly enjoyed having this opportunity to help these younger students. To receive the gold level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, youth must complete a minimum of 60 hours of community service over 12 months, undergo a three-night camping trip, develop a new skill and participate in 50 hours of physical activity over a 25
week period. For Alex, these requirements meant that she volunteered as an on-ice helper and undertook various volunteer activities; she went on a fourday canoe trip through the Haliburton Highlands; she learned to play trumpet in a jazz band; she kept ďŹ t playing hockey, soccer and volleyball; and she volunteered at a hock-
ey camp. Completing her requirements for the gold level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has made Alex think that she may want to become a high school teacher in the future. What made these Sept. 12 presentations special was that they were made by Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex, and son of founder Prince Philip.

It was in Ottawa 50 years ago that the ďŹ rst Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards were given out in Canada. Prince Edward addressed the recipients and their families following the presentation of the Award certiďŹ cates. “I’m always surprised by the number of you that do this independently,â€? he said in his address. A large number of recipients attain the award through their high school or through Scouts Canada. Governor General David Johnson, who addressed the recipients and audience by pre-recorded video, urged the award recipients to stay involved in their futures. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is meant to empower youth ages 14 to 25 to “make a differenceâ€? in their own lives and in the lives of others by exploring their potential, taking on new challenges, giving back to their communities, and achieving success. The Award is universally accessible to all youth. The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award was founded by His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, to encourage personal development and community involvement for young people. Since its establishment in Canada 50 years ago, more than 500,000 young Canadians have taken up the challenge of this Award which has bronze, silver and gold levels.

Floral, veggie entries John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Ninety entries. Twenty-five red ribbons. Lots of effort but also lots of fun. That’s Richmond Fair 2012 for Bob and Sue Anderson of Franktown Road just west of Richmond. Between the two of them, they submitted 90 entries in various classes in the floral and vegetable sections of the Homecraft Division. They first began submitting entries in the Richmond Fair about ten years ago but for the first
few years, it was just a few entries. Now, though, they submit numerous entries in the belief that the more entries that there are in a class, the better will be the display, to the benefit of the Fair overall. It is definitely not done for the money with red ribbons only earning four dollars or so in most cases. But Mr. and Mrs. Anderson use the prize money to buy seeds for next season, particularly seeds that are different from what they have been growing. They bring their entries
into the fairgrounds on the Wednesday evening prior to the Fair, finding this more convenient that the optional time of the Thursday morning. They prepare their vegetable entries on the Tuesday before the Fair while they collect their floral entries on the Wednesday. They have accumulated quite a collection of vases and containers that they use to hold their floral entries. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were winners in the Richmond Village garden and landscape contest in 2011.

Roman chariots a la Ben-Hur John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It was like something out of Ben-Hur, the 1959 historical film set in ancient Rome starring Charlton Heston, with its well known nine-minute sequence featuring a chariot race, one of the most famous episodes in cinema. There they were, two Roman chariots on display in the light horse ring at the Richmond Fair last Sunday in a performance class in the miniature horse show. There were not only Roman style chariots pulled by a pair of miniature horses but the female drivers were dressed in Roman togas and wearing Roman headpieces. Yes, it was quite a sight as these two competitors went around the ring, marching to the orders of the judge – slow cantor, gallop, trot and
walk. It was all in friendly competition, unlike the famous chariot race in that 1959 movie when the evil Messala drives a chariot with blades on the hubs to tear apart competing chariots. He attempts to destroy Ben-Hur’s chariot but destroys his own instead, being mortally wounded in the process. And in the end, it was the entry of Betty McGowan of Edwards which won the class, getting the judge’s nod over the entry driven by Cheryl Norris. But as they drove out of the ring to prepare for a following class, they showed that even now, over half a century after the release of the Ben-Hur film, Roman chariots hold a special lure for those who see them, whether it is on the big screen or in the light horse ring at the Richmond Fair.

History reveals wide influence of Richmond Fair Special to the News
EMC news - Guest speaker John Curry used a quick review of Richmond’s history to show the pervasive influence of the Richmond Fair in the community over the years. Speaking at the official opening of this year’s Richmond Fair on Thursday evening, Sept. 13 in the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre, Mr. Curry touched on some of Richmond’s milestone history dates – the first settlers arriving in 1818, incorporation of
the village in 1850, arrival of the fall fair in 1895, creation of the Richmond Hydro Electric Commission in 1928 and the opening of South Carleton High School in 1952. He then told about four of Richmond’s historical heroes – Colonel George Burke, golfer George Lyon, and war heroes Harry McElroy and John Wilburn Garland. Colonel Burke, superintendent of the Richmond military settlement when it was founded in 1818, was previously a decorated hero in the War of
1812. In Richmond, he went on to become a school trustee, the area’s MPP and registrar for Carleton County. As such, he was probably the most influential person in the area in the first half of the 19th century, even overshadowing Colonel John By. George Lyon, who was born in Richmond, won the only gold medal ever awarded for golf in the Olympics when he topped all the golfers at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis. Golf is scheduled to return to the Olympics in 2016.
11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away
altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-217-1897 and enter 4003 7 .

Mr. Curry also mentioned other outstanding Richmond residents, both past and present, including Dr. R.C. Chanonhouse, longtime barber Joe Dallaire, veterinarian Dr. Ken Hartin and doctors Lucy and Rod Rabb. Mr. Curry noted that the one thing that all of these people over the years have in common is attending the Richmond Fair. Colonel Burke died in 1854, ten years after the first fall fair was held in 1844, then in Bells Corners. It only makes sense that such a prominent citizen of the area would have been there. Golfer George Lyon, born in Richmond and with prominent family in the community, no doubt visited the fair, either as a youngster or later when he returned to the area for visits from his home in Toronto. There is no doubt that both Harry McElroy and John Wilburn Garland both attended the Richmond Fair, two heroes who grew up with the Richmond Fair on their calendars. And the same goes for the others mentioned by Mr. Cur-
ry – the country doctor par excellence Dr. R.C. Chanonhouse, barber Joe Dallaire, Dr. Ken Hartin and Drs. Lucy and Rod Rabb – all have had the Richmond Fair experience. And this common Richmond Fair experience applies not only to these heroes and outstanding area residents but also to virtually everyone else in the community. That’s the real value of the Richmond Fair or any fall fair, Mr. Curry said. It is a common experience which fosters community spirit and involvement – it builds community. And this is what the Richmond Fair has done for the past 168 years. Mr. Curry also thanked the Richmond Agricultural Society for presenting him with the prestigious Agricultural Service Diploma from the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies for meritorious service to agriculture. He received the award from Richmond Agricultural Society general manager Dale Green at the official opening. Mr. Curry referred to the list of previous award recipients, going back to 1980, noting that these recipients reflected the true volunteer spirit that pervades the Richmond Fair. He said that he was truly honoured but also humbled by being included with these other most worthy recipients in past years. See HISTORY, page 7

Mr. Curry pointed out two things that really endear him to George Lyon and his legacy. One is that George Lyon, a former Canadian high jump champion, did handstands down the aisle when he received his gold medal at the Olympics. The other is the integrity that George Lyon showed when he refused the gold medal at the 1908 Olympics in London. Because of a dispute, all other golfers had refused to register. George, as the only one registered, could have walked away with his second straight gold medal but he refused it, wanting to win it in competition or not at all. Flight Lieut. Harry McElroy of Richmond was only 21 when he was killed in action over France in 1918, being shot down by enemy fighters while he was engaged in tree top level flying against German troops. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross posthumously, with his father receiving it on Parliament Hill in 1919 from the Prince of Wales who later was King Edward V111. There is a plaque dedicated to Harry in St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond. A World War II hero from Richmond was Flight Lieut. John Wilburn Garland who is an acknowledged flying “ace,” responsible for the destruc-

Mr. Curry also recited a poem called “A Fair Day” that he had composed detailing what goes on at the Richmond Fair. He also took part, along with Richmond Agricultural Society president Larry Monuk and head lady Marg Todd, in the ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the official opening of the 2012 Richmond Fair. Representatives from eight other area fall fairs attended this official opening ceremony, including fairs in Navan, Russell, South Mountain, Shawville, Spencerville, Metcalfe, Beachburg and Carp. Richmond Agricultural Society president Larry Monuk and head lady Marg Todd both welcomed all those at the official opening ceremony including city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt. A highlight of the official opening saw the presentation of a $5,000 donation to the Richmond Agricultural Society from Scotiabank in Richmond. Scotiabank helps out the Richmond Fair not only with monetary help but also Scotiabank staff helps out in the Fair office, taking tickets at the gate and passing out flyers.

Keep Terry Fox’s dream alive
I
f you look up the word “hope� in the dictionary, you’ll probably find a photograph of Terry Fox. Or at least you should. Terry Fox was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and had his leg amputated above the knee – an age when most of us are starting our lives: going to university, beginning a career, falling in love for the first time. He died at the age of 22.
In those four short years, Fox managed to inspire generations of Canadian citizens. He made us learn to hope in the face of an awful disease that has touched all our lives. He taught us to fight back no matter what the odds. When Fox learned he had cancer he decided to run a Marathon of Hope across Canada. His goal was to raise enough money to discover a cure for cancer. Starting in April 1980, Fox
started his run by dipping his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean in St John’s, NL. He ran 42 kilometres a day, the equivalent of a full marathon. On Sept. 1, 1980, after running for 143 days and 5,373 kilometres, Terry was forced to stop his Marathon of Hope outside of Thunder Bay, Ont.. The cancer had spread to his lungs. On June 28, 1981, Fox died. But his memory lives on in
the hearts and minds of generations of Canadians, who continue his battle every year by holding Terry Fox Runs across the country. The runs have raised hundreds of millions of dollars and funded numerous advancements in cancer research, saving countless lives. But a cure is yet to be found. This year, Fox’s brother, Fred Fox, visited the campus of Carleton University, urging the
students to keep Terry’s dream alive. Carleton is one of eight Canadian universities to join Terry’s College and University Student Engagement (CAUSE). The colleges and universities have committed to holding a major campus event that includes runs and other fundraisers with all proceeds going to the Terry Fox Foundation. Most communities across Canada planned to hold their annual runs on Sunday, Sept. 16, including an Ottawa run at Carleton University. Kanata and Stittsville were scheduled to hold their annual
Terry Fox Run that day as well, an event that usually attracts hundred of west-end runners. The Kanata/Stittsville run has raised $550,000 since it first started in 1989. Last year, Constance Bay held its first Terry Fox Run, attracting 75 participants and raising more than $4,400 for cancer research. Ottawa Hospital Research Institute’s John Bell said that while great strides have been made in cancer research over the past 30 years, there is still much more to be done. We must continue to keep Terry’s dream alive – one step at a time.

You too can be a Waste Explorer street on garbage night and notice that some people are putting out no garbage cans at all. None. Everything they need to throw out is on one of the recycling containers, black, blue and green. We salute them, although we do wonder what they do with all that plastic packaging. Maybe they don’t buy anything wrapped in plastic. There’s a challenge. Is it possible that we have been so well-educated in the philosophy of recycling that we don’t need to put anything at all in the garbage can? Have we bought in so completely to the recycling message that we have made garbage obsolete? If so, it may be because recycling has been made so easy for us. We don’t need to buy the recycling boxes; they are delivered to our doors. Filling them is no problem, nor is sorting them. Neither effort nor thought is required. It is too bad that no one one has thought of ways to make it easy for us to be as virtuous in other areas. We could use some help cleaning up after our pets, giving more support to charities and merging from three lanes into two on the Queensway. Meanwhile, we don’t know whether to be comforted or not by the notion that it all has to go somewhere. The city’s website page on recycling provides something called a Waste Explorer – maybe not the most attractive concept when you think about it, but a handy way to tackle those difficult which-box-is-which questions. For example, the Waste Explorer will tell you that alfalfa sprouts go in the green bin, that artificial plants go in the regular garbage, as do bicycle tires, as do rubber wine corks; wooden orange crates go in the regular garbage, but wood chips go in the green bin; some items, such as beer kegs are identified as having “multiple options� but when you click on that you are told that multiple options means take them back to the beer store. A few paragraphs ago we thought that recycling was simple. Now we’re not so sure. At least we only have to think about the garbage every other week, when we put out our wooden orange crates.

f you don’t automatically throw out everything that shows up in your mailbox, you will have seen the document that announces a major change in your life. As of the end of next month your garbage is only going to be picked up every two weeks. Although there was considerable debate about this at city hall, the circular in your mailbox reflects that hardly at all. “Important changes are coming,â€? it begins, but all it contains by way of explanation is a cryptic little note at the bottom: “Think about it ‌,â€? it says. “It all has to go somewhere.â€? This is true, probably, as is: “It all has to go sometime,â€? which is the issue at hand. So what are we to make of it, the fact that we go from garbage pickup every week to garbage pickup every other? The most dramatic interpretation is that Ottawa has become a Third World city. In many parts of the world, garbage pickup every week can only be dreamed about, the key to improved sanitation and public health. Yet here is Ottawa, going the other way. To support this interpretation we can look at many other areas in which Canada, through the culture of cutback, has descended from previous heights. If, on the other hand, you are the kind of person who sees the glass as half full, you will have a completely different take. Less frequent garbage pickup means that garbage needs to be picked up less frequently, which means that there is less of it. This encouraging theory might be difficult to prove empirically, but the anecdotal evidence is there. You know it when you look down your

98th birthday party at Market Special to the News
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Sacred Heart Catholic High School students who are holding a poster advertising the garage sale which is being held at the school this Saturday, Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon with all of the proceeds going to communities in Nicaragua are, from left, Kendra DePippo, Aidan Horvath, Caleb Winn and Tayah Liska. Everyone is welcome to attend the garage sale and pick up some bargains while helping out the people of Nicaragua.
Garage sale for Nicaragua Special to the News
EMC news - Nicaragua is a long way away from Stittsville geographically but there is a link that you can be part of. This coming March, a group of students and teachers from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville will be travelling to Nicaragua where they will be participating in a number of building projects in the community there. To raise money to help fund these projects in Nicaragua, these students are holding a garage sale at Sacred Heart this Saturday, Sept.
22 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at the school at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road in Stittsville. Everyone is encouraged to drop by this garage sale. You may not only find something that you were looking for but also will be helping out with a community project in Nicaragua. It’s a win/win situation. So jot down the date and time – this Saturday, Sept. 22 from 8 a.m. to 12 noon – and drop by this charity garage sale that will be helping people in Nicaragua.
EMC news – One of the Carp Farmers Market’s most faithful customers turned 98 last week and to celebrate, vendors of the Market planned a party for her. The idea came from Abigail Corbett of Russell’s Honey. Joan Gray of Stittsville has been attending the Carp Farmers Market, rain or shine, every week for 23 years. Her weekly visits began in 1990 with the opening of the Market, a trip that she made with three women friends. Now she makes the excursion with her son Doug. “The weekly trip is a highlight for mom,” Doug says. “She wouldn’t miss it.” At the Market, Joan follows the same route each Saturday, beginning at the Acorn Creek Garden Farm booth. She makes her way past each booth, greeting the vendors and placing her purchases in the front carrier of her walker. Then, when she arrives at the stand of David Donaldson, she receives a bouquet of flowers – and a kiss. Doug cannot recall when this tradition began but suspects that it started about ten years ago. The 15 minute drive from Stittsville to Carp is like a trip home for Joan who came to Canada in 1945 as a war bride. “I grew up on a farm in Reigate, Surrey, England,” Joan recalls. “We had vegetables certainly, and at one time sheep and cows and pigs.” “I like the people here at the Market,” she says. For her 98th birthday celebration, festivities began at noon under the big top tent as friends and family gathered for the two hour party. The birthday cake donated by and featuring the honey of Russell’s Honey was served along with tea donated by Corry Burke of Tara’s Teas. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who attended the celebration, presented Joan with two certificates of congratula-
tion including one from city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. In his remarks, councillor Qadri highlighted some entertaining changes since Joan’s birth in 1914 and hinted as many did at getting an invitation to her 100th birthday in two years’ time. While Joan doesn’t pay much attention to her age, Doug is quick to share how remarkable his mother is. “My brother Robert, his wife Leslie and their three children are visiting from Calgary and he asked mom to recite the alphabet backwards last week,” he said. “She used to do this for us when we were kids. Sure enough, she still can.” Doug recounted. Joan still maintains her own home and keeps busy knitting and doing a daily newspaper word jumble. And every day, she has two drinks of gin before dinner. “No more and no less – just like the Queen Mother,” Doug says.

Something new for draw John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It’s been 22 years now for the annual Richmond Fair raffle draw but there was something new this year – the final grand prize draw was held at the official opening ceremony on Thursday evening, Sept. 13. For the previous years, the grand prize draw was always made at the Fair’s Saturday night dance. Richmond Agricultural Society director Ian Stackhouse told those at the official opening that this annual raffle draw has raised about $70,000 for
the Fair since its inception. Nine winning tickets were drawn in this grand prize draw. Richmond Agricultural Society president Larry Monuk handled one of the draws while representatives of the eight fall fairs in attendance at the opening each draw one of the winning tickets. The $1,000 grand prize ended up going to Bruce Johnson. June Vaughn, who was in attendance at the official opening with her husband Ken who is a director of the Agricultural Society, was one of the $500 winners. Isabel Thompson, who was
working along with others from St. Paul’s United Church in the kitchen, preparing the sandwiches and desserts which were served to wrap up the evening, was one of the five $100 winners in this grand prize draw. A total of $2,750 was given away in this grand prize draw. The grand prize draw follows five early bird draws which take place in the period leading up to the annual Fair. Each early bird draw has eight winners, each of which receives $25, the cost of a ticket in the draw. A total of 300 tickets are sold in the draw.

Nine entries in six-horse hitch class at Fair john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It was a sixhorse hitch class to be remembered at the Richmond Fair last Sunday afternoon, Sept. 16. Not only did the class involve nine entries (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 54 heavy horses and nine wagons, all lined up in the ring) but also the class took place in sunny, warm conditions, with blue skies overhead. Just ideal! And the appeal of these six-horse hitches is undeniable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just witness spectators
crowding around the fence of the enlarged double ring (both heavy and light horse rings are used) to see the heavy horses with their jingling and shiny harness move along under the guidance of the driver, holding the multiple reins while sitting atop the tall, wagonwheel wagon proudly displaying the farm and family names of the entry. Because of the number of entries in the class, there were two heats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one with ďŹ ve entries who then remained standing in the ring after the judging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and one with four
entries. In the end, all nine entries were lined up across the ring, much to the amazement and pleasure of the crowded stands and spectators encircling the ring. When one thinks, as reminded by heavy horse ring announcer Murray Graham, that the harness costs about $8,000 for each horse and that each horse is valued anywhere from $15,000 to $75,000 and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wagon, you can understand the wow factor when nine of these sixhorse hitches are standing right there in the ring. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
a lot of money tied up on the hooves of these giant horses, whether Percherons, Clydesdales and Belgians. The entries came from around the area, including Metcalfe, Brockville, Mountain, Potsdam, Stittsville, Richmond, Chapeau, North Gower and Lanark. It was the ďŹ rst time that John and Trent Newell of Richmond had entered the six-horse hitch class at the Richmond Fair. And when it was all said and done, the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pick was the six-horse hitch entry of Brian Crabb of Stittsville.
He received the winning ribbon and General Welding & Fabrication Ltd. trophy from Gordon Argue, son of the late Kerry Argue, a heavy horse enthusiast and longtime heavy horse show sponsor at
the Richmond Fair. Prior to the beginning of the six-horse hitch, a minute of silence was also observed at the heavy horse ring in memory of Mr. Argue who died earlier this year.

‘Holes for Hospice’ tournament raises $53,000 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - A hospice in the west end of Ottawa is a little closer to reality thanks to the second annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” golf tournament last Friday, Sept. 14. The tournament raised $53,000 for the Friends of Hospice Ottawa’s capital campaign to establish a hospice facility in the west end of the city. With over $47,000 raised by the inaugural tournament last year, over $100,000 has now been raised for the capital campaign over just two years. The dream of a hospice in the west end is slowly being realized. “Your support today has brought us one step closer to making that dream a reality,” Friends of Hospice Ottawa Board member and tournament co-chair Kathleen Sterling of Richmond told the golfers in her remarks at the closing dinner at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in West Carleton. She told the golfers that it was the loving care which her husband Lennox received in his final days at the Hospice at Maycourt and the love and understanding which she and all her family received while there that showed her the value of hospice care for those suffering from a life threatening illness. In deciding on a way to honour Lennox and with the help of family and friends, especially tournament co-chair Ian McLaren, a longtime friend of Lennox’s, this Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” golf tournament was organized last
year to help raise funds for a new hospice in the west end. The second edition of the tournament was held last Friday, Sept. 14 and next year’s tournament is already scheduled for Friday, Sept. 13. In her remarks at the tournament dinner, Ms. Sterling noted that while there currently is no hospice facility in the west end of Ottawa, there is a proven need for 26 hospice beds. She said that the Friends of Hospice
Ottawa’s campaign committee, on which Mr. McLaren sits, is currently actively pursing a site for such a west end hospice facility. In his remarks at the tournament dinner, Chris Warburton, chair of the Board of Directors of Friends of Hospice Ottawa, thanked all of the golfers and volunteers for their efforts in helping the dream of a hospice in Ottawa west come closer to reality. He noted that raising $100,000 with the
two tournaments to date has been an amazing achievement. This year’s tournament did not have the best of weather, with rain happening on and off through much of the afternoon before it began raining steadily about 5 p.m. But the wet weather did not dampen the spirit of the golfers and their commitment to ensuring that this second annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” golf tournament was

another success. That’s why a silent auction and raffle draw at the dinner generated even more funds for the cause. Silent auction items included tickets to Ottawa Senators games, a limited edition print of the Parliament Buildings, a walleye fishing adventure, an overnight stay at the Brookstreet Hotel and a gift certificate for the Barley Mow. Prizes in the post-dinner raffle draw were a leather couch and ottoman, a golf travel bag, a drill saw and a spa experience. And the golfing action had a variety of winners – not just the winning foursome with its ten-under winning score but also prize winners in various on-course contests like closest to the pin, longest drive and “hockey glove” shot and pre-course activities like the putting and chipping contests. And while there were no winners, there were hole-in-one contests including one for a car from Myers. Tournament co-chair Ian McLaren praised the individuals and corporations for their sponsorship of the tournament, calling their efforts “unbelievable” and awesome in support of the event. Both lunch and dinner had sponsors as did each golf hole, the power carts and pre-dinner cocktails. In addition, each golfer received a prize, with all the prizes donated. Among those who helped organize this year’s tournament, helping the co-chairs Ian McLaren and Kathleen Sterling, were Tom Band, Allan Brayton, Dan O’Grady, Huntley Ryan, Bruce Martin and Wayne Jennings.

Lights out after vehicle crashes out of control Special to the News
EMC news - A vehicle went out of control on a curve on Whalings Circle in Stittsville in the early morning hours of Friday, Sept. 14, colliding with an electrical transformer and then crashing into two parked vehicles. Hydro in the neighbourhood went out when the crash happened about 1:30 a.m. Two suspects, believed to be a driver and
passenger of the out-of-control vehicle, fled the scene but were later apprehended in the vicinity by Ottawa police officers. Ottawa Hydro personnel were dispatched to the scene and had the hydro in the area restored before the morning activity. There were no road closures associated with this traffic event. Whalings Circle in Stittsville runs off West Ridge Drive just south of Hazeldean Road.

Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012 13
Changing the way you think about storage... YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN THE NEW MEGA DYMON SELF STORAGE AT KANATA CENTRUM – IT’S JUST THE LATEST IN A STRING OF FACILITIES THAT ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER TOWN. LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED DYMON NOW HAS SIX INDUSTRY LEADING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
Stepping inside a Dymon facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Self Storage is not your traditional type of storage business. “Before the arrival of Dymon, self storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton. “We recognized there was a demand for quality storage in Ottawa, but there was virtually nothing available”. Dymon quickly recognized a business opportunity, but wanted to create a unique “made in Ottawa” solution. Before getting started back in 2006, Dymon did extensive research across the U.S. and Canada by visiting dozens of facilities, and quickly determined the attributes of the best performing facilities across North America. Taking these ideas and introducing a few unique offerings of its own, Dymon put together a “best of breed” business model. Arguably, right here in Ottawa Dymon has built the very best that self storage has to offer anywhere in the world. 14 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012
“At the end of the day, your stuff is likely better off stored with Dymon than at your home or business” adds Creighton. From the outside, Dymon’s facilities are architecturally attractive and don’t look anything like storage buildings. “We have moved self storage into the mainstream by locating our facilities in easy to access, highly visible sites, usually adjacent to big box retail” says Creighton, “and with our attractive exterior look we wanted the marketplace to understand that we represented a new and totally different storage solution”.
WHAT DOES “BEST OF BREED” MEAN? Dymon’s facilities have many distinctive features that differentiate them from anything else in the Ottawa marketplace. By integrating leading technologies, Dymon has created the safest and most convenient way to store your excess stuff. Starting with its complete and total humidity and climate controlled environment, Dymon’s facilities ensure no mould, mildew or bugs. Its advanced security features ensure your possessions are safe – besides having extended retail hours, Dymon also has a 24/7 Customer Service Command Center which monitors all of its facilities with personnel who can respond to customer issues at anytime, day or night. Dymon’s unique drive through bays (which are like airport hangars) provide complete protection from the weather and allow you to load and unload your stuff in comfort. Dymon even offers a free truck and driver at the time of move-in for your added convenience, taking the hassle away of renting and driving a large truck. Dymon’s facilities have
luxury boardrooms, mini-offices, as well as a vault and mailbox service. And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays! And the list goes on and on. But perhaps Dymon’s biggest asset is its relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. “Our highly trained staff regularly go above and beyond to help our customers deal with the stress of moving and storage,” says Creighton. “And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.” With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Self Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in

any people are also taking notice of Dymon’s latest facility under construction on Carling at the Queensway. “We are really excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it is going to be our flagship facility with our head office located on the top floor. We have some new outstanding features that are going to make this our best facility yet.” Dymon’s next facility will be on Greenbank at Hunt Club, and then another six facilities planned for Ottawa.
Creighton “and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”. DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the opportunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper than buying traditional cardboard boxes and includes free delivery and pick-up.”
just 5 months, and has remained full ever since. And Dymon’s Coventry facility was no flash-inthe-pan – Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months. Each subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill. Dymon’s Kanata Centrum facility, adjacent to Canadian Tire, is the largest self storage facility in Canada, and is already half full after having just opened at the end of 2011. Pretty impressive stuff when you realize the Kanata facility is twice as large as their Coventry facility! To put this all in perspective, a facility the size of Dymon’s Kanata location would ordinarily take up to 36–48 months to fill in the US.
SO WHO IS YOUR TYPICAL DYMON CUSTOMER? The reasons why people need storage are endless. For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home. Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars. Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to
design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this by its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand. “Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.” Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site boardrooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of businesses. “Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton. “Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inventory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-warehouse instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.” This fall, Dymon is also preparing to launch a new convenient document storage, retrieval and destruction business ideally suited for all types of business. “These additional services that will be offered to our customers represent another natural evolution of our business as we continue to serve our business customers better,” concludes Creighton. Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels and existing business successes. “We are continually introducing new services and products to improve what Dymon has to offer,” says
Dymon even assists you if you want to sell any of your stuff. DymonMine.com offers its customers the chance to sell things in a totally secure and convenient fashion. Dymon will photograph, describe and upload items to its website where potential buyers can view them or they can drop down to the facility and have a look. And just this month DymonMine.com introduced its new offer/ counter offer system where buyers and sellers can negotiate by e-mail, totally anonymously. The new process is fun, simple, and effective. When items are sold, Dymon issues a cheque to the customer, who doesn’t even have to know who bought the item. “Many Dymon customers were saying they wanted to sell some of their excess stuff, but they were frustrated that there weren’t really many convenient sales options available to them,” says DymonMine.com’s Manager, Peter Kalil “so we developed our on-line marketplace as a safe, convenient, hassle-free way for customers to sell and buy stuff.”
You should take the time to drop by one of Dymon’s convenient locations across the City – they really are unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.

Oarsmen, miniatures thanks to Remigio Bros. John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Four paddlers stroked their oars throughout this year’s Richmond Fair and yet they never moved. That’s because the miniature oarsmen in their boat were part of an elaborate array of small characters and accessories like a helicopter and an airplane, all
moving thanks to a combination of steam and water power. But while they moved in action, they remained stationery in their sports – there was no moving around. So the paddlers stroked and stroked, attracting the interest of viewers, but going nowhere. This all happened at the Remigio Bros. display in the antiques area of the Fair. The display started as a hobby and has grown little by
little over the years. The Remigio Bros. are Manuel and Janureo who originally are from Portugal years ago but now live in Gatineau. They take their display to various fairs in the area. And this steam/water powered display was not all bearing a Remigio name at the Fair. Manuel also had a display of the miniature baskets, hats, baskets, milk cans, jars and
more, all colourful, that he makes out of telephone wires. It’s a time consuming hobby for Manuel. For instance, it makes three hours to make a jar and 12 hours to make a basket, both of which are about the size of a thumb. You have to have patience and keep going, Manuel says, saying you must never give up while working on these telephone wire miniatures.

john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Singers, dancers and fiddlers were among those who performed in the first-ever youth amateur talent contest at the Richmond Fair last Sunday, Sept. 16. And fiddlers, although few in number, did well in the end, with Reid Warren placing second in the age 12 and
under category and with Ursa Meyer winning the age 13-21 category. The other fiddler in the competition was ten year old Hugh Nixon who played the fiddle as his seven year old sister Caroline danced and sang “Red Wing.” Winner in the 12 and under age category was Madison Refausse of Stittsville who sang the song “Someone Like You”
while accompanying herself on the keyboard. Third place in the age 12 and under category was Kelsey Warren, a dancer. Others in the age 12 and under category included 11 year old singer Grace Lachance; 10 year old dancer Lindsay Armstrong who was wearing an appropriate green dress for her Irish dance; 12 year old singer Chantelle
Lee; singer Rylie McDowell; nine year old dancer Julianna Grant with her intriguing performance holding a fan; seven year old Daniel Grant with his busker spinning; singer Ellie Sheppard; singer Kaitlyn Weatherall; and singer Chantalyne.

Four Kumon students earn ‘G by 5’ award Special to the News
EMC news - In the world of Kumon, it doesn’t get any better than the “G by 5” award. And four students at the Stittsville Kumon Centre recently received this prestigious “G by 5” award. The “G by 5” award is given to students enrolled in Kumon Math and Reading Centres who are able to reach Level G in the Kumon curriculum before completing grade 5. Hence the name “G by 5.” This milestone is achieved either by studying algebraic concepts in Kumon’s Math Program or attaining a grade 7/8 level of reading comprehension in the Reading Program – but before the student completes grade 5. Three students at the Stittsville Kumon Centre who have recently received their “G by 5” award in the Math Program are grade five students Shaheen Aziz, Maya Wallach and Kevin Hua. They are now ready for their next step in the Kumon program, namely beginning to work on simplifying and solving algebraic equations. And for Kevin Hua, this is his second “G by 5” award. Last year he received his “G by 5” award in the Reading Program. Besides the three students who received “G by 5” awards in the Math Program, grade

Her next challenge is to learn how to write a summary and a précis and to study critical thinking. “These students are role models for other students at the Centre,” says Stittsville
Kumon Centre instructor Merilee Clarke. “They can now face the challenges of new concepts with confidence and enthusiasm.” “Kumon is not just for students needing extra help,” she says. “Kumon is for all students striving to reach their full potential.” Kumon is the world’s largest after-school math and read-
ing program, founded in Japan more than 50 years ago. The Stittsville Kumon Centre is available to students in Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and even Carleton Place. The National Mathematics Advisory Panel has identified the need for students to master basic math concepts to attain algebra. The Kumon Math Program takes this a
step farther by incorporating a mastery of algebra, a basic skill needed to reach calculus. This marks the completion of the Kumon Math Program. Research has shown that a student is much more likely to attend and complete a four year college program if they have completed course work equivalent to Algebra 1 and 11.
For more information about Kumon in general or about the Stittsville Kumon Centre, please call 613-831-2577, email john.merileeclarke@ kumon.com or visit www. kumon.ca.

Unveiling of historical plaque Special to the News
EMC news - Villagefest 2012 will include a tribute to an historical event 142 years ago that changed the course of Stittsville’s history. This will take the form of the unveiling of a permanent historical plaque marking the Great Fire of 1870, perhaps the most dramatic and tragic event ever to take place in the area. This cast bronze plaque, produced by Alloy Foundries of Merrickville, will be unveiled about 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29 at Village Square Park in Stittsville as part of this year’s Villagefest celebrations. The plaque is a project of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. On hand to help unveil the plaque will be Terry Currie, author of the 2009 book “The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870.” This is an account of the Great
Fire of 1870 including maps and even eye-witness reports written at the time. A total of 12 people were killed in the fire which roared across western Carleton County and elsewhere, causing massive destruction. Two of those who died were in Goulbourn. Following the unveiling of the plaque, Mr. Currie will be selling copies of his book at the Historical Society’s booth at Village Square. Also for sale at the booth will be the history book “Stittsville: A Sense of Place” by local author and Historical Society president Barbara Botttriell. This book also tells something about the Great Fire of 1870 as well as recounting the story of Stittsville from its very earliest times. Proceeds from the sale of “Stittsville: A Sense of Place” will be going to the Historical Society.
Goulbourn Historical Society Special to the News
EMC News - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society promotes local history. Among its activities are identifying and marking heritage
Paying tribute to the Great Fire of 1870 through the erection of a plaque at Village Square has been a two year project by the Historical Society. An attempt to obtain some funding from provincial authorities was thwarted when the province ruled that the Great Fire of 1870 was an event of local rather than provincial significance. This decision was made despite the fact that the Great Fire of 1870 marked the first time that the federal government provided disaster relief, setting a precedent that would continue throughout the ensuing history of the country. In the Great Fire of 1870, the village of Stittsville, which had built up near the site of present day Carp Road and Neil Avenue, was virtually wiped out and had to be completely rebuilt, albeit in the vicinity of the new railway station which is now the site of Village Square Park.
buildings in the community, encouraging historical research and promoting interest in local history. The Historical Society also runs an annual photo contest and holds regular monthly meetings featuring guest speakers.

Casino downtown
A LOSING MOVE Feeling lucky? If you said no, you’re probably following the Ontario government’s plan to move slot machines out of racetracks by March 31, 2013. Taxpayers in Ontario benefit from nearly $1 billion a year sent to essential services from the slots. Since they’ve been in place, the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway alone have generated $643 million for the provincial government that is specifically earmarked for health care in the province. The government is hoping this good fortune gets even better by taking the show downtown. This is more than a bad break for the people of Ottawa— it’s bad business.
OLG’s 2010 Net Profit 11% 49% 40%
The slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway produce $70 million annually for Ontario taxpayers. By contrast, despite being only 2.5 km from downtown Ottawa, the slots and gaming tables at Casino Lac-Leamy earned a net profit of $5 million less than that in 2011. The costs of doing business downtown are significantly higher and make profit return harder to manage. The large Casino Lac-Leamy has 400 more slot machines. Everyone in Ontario has an interest in seeing these earnings from the Rideau Carleton Raceway slots upheld.
fundraisers and entertainment shows that have been thriving over the past 12 years.
Since slot machines were introduced to the Rideau Carleton Raceway in 2000, they have generated $52 million for the City of Ottawa. Council has said this revenue helps keep property taxes lower for all residents. The venue is also an ideal location for the fairs,
These numbers are possible because the Rideau Carleton Raceway site is easily accessible at the south end of Ottawa, and it has low operating costs and 2500 free parking spaces. In return, more money flows back to the city and Ontario taxpayers.
From slots at racetracks From lotteries and bingos From casinos
The people of Ottawa are smart spenders and need to speak up. They resent paying for parking. They like quality food at affordable prices. Above all, they hate seeing their tax dollars lost on bad investments. Send your concerns to your City Councillor today!

EMC sports - Want to try out the game of ringette?
Well, the West Ottawa Ringette Association has set aside an hour of ice time where any-
ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. It in involves six players on each team on the ice at any one time. Players are not permitted to carry the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ringâ&#x20AC;? (ringetteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alternative to a puck and hence the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name ringette) over the two blue lines. The ring can be advanced over a blue line only by passing it to another player. Ringette is related to ice hockey in equipment and playing surface but differs in rules and approach to the game. In ringette, the challenge is to catch or â&#x20AC;&#x153;stabâ&#x20AC;? the ring. To catch the ring, a player must stab through the hole in the ring with the bladeless stick, usually while the player is on the move. Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck but the blueline rules force more passing. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why ringette is a game where skating and pass-

EA for proposed new landfill goes to province John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - An Environmental Assessment (EA) for a proposed new landfill on Carp Road was submitted to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment last Friday, Sept. 14. This completes an EA process that was initiated in January 2011 following approval of the EA Terms of Reference by the Minister of the Environment on Nov. 25, 2010. This EA Report will now be available for public review and comment until Friday, Nov. 2. The Ea Report is available in electronic form on the project’s website at http://wcec.wm.com and also is available in hard copy of locations within the communities of Stittsville, Kanata and West Carleton. Written comments on this EA should be submitted to Jeffrey Dea, Project Officer, Ministry of the Environment, Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch, 2 St. Clair Avenue West, Floor 12A, Toronto, On M4V 1L5 or via email at Jeffrey. dea@ontario.ca This EA was undertaken by Waste Management, owners of the site, in order to develop a new landfill footprint as part of a
development known as the West Carleton Environmental Centre (WCEC). The new landfill is to provide additional waste disposal capacity for solid non-hazardous waste. The existing landfill on the site closed as of September 2011. Other proposed facilities at the WCEC include a material recycling facility, construction and demolition material facility, residential diversion facility, organics processing facility and electronic waste handling facility. This EA Report has been the result of a multi-phase process that included project initiation, a study of alternative landfill footprint options, a comparative evaluation and selection of a preferred alternative landfill footprint and a preliminary design. The process involved three workshops and five open houses as part of its consultation procedure. Waste Management is seeking a new landfill with a capacity of up to 6.5 million dubic metres. This Carp Road site was first licensed by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in 1971 as a sanitary landfill and also for aggregate extraction. In 1987, Laidlaw Waste Systems Ltd. pur-
chased the site. Then, in 1996, Canadian Waste Services, now Waste Management, purchased the site from Laidlaw. The site currently includes a closed landfill, a landfill-gasto-energy plant, a waste transfer station, a residential recycling drop-off, a storm water management system, a gas collection and management system with flares and a leachate collection and management system with poplar plantation. Since the early 1990’s, Waste Management has installed purge wells, landfill liners and leachate control systems to control and manage ground water issues. The first phase of a geosynthetic-lined leachate collection system and a boundary purge well system were constructed at the site in 1991. A discharge forcemain to the city of Ottawa’s sanitary sewer system was completed in November 2001. As part of the EA process, Waste Management conducted investigative studies of various environmental components to provide a detailed understanding of the site environment. These include atmospheric, geology and hydrogeology, surface water, biology, archaeological resources, cultural heritage resources, transportation, land use, agriculture and social-economic.

Knee Pain?: PatelloFemoral Joint Syndrome By: Your Local Family Physiotherapy Centre Team Everyone has experienced knee pain at one time or another, and there are many different conditions which cause knee pain. Sometimes pain is produced with a local trauma, like falling on or twisting your knee. However, much of the time there’s no one clear “mechanism of injury” that starts the pain off. A very common condition which typically develops in this way is patella-femoral joint syndrome (or PFJS for short). PFJS occurs when the kneecap, which needs to move up and down on the rest of the knee joint, doesn’t move along the pathway it’s meant to. This “maltracking” can lead to pain, clicking, R0011621996-0920
24 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, September 20, 2012
grinding and other abnormal sensations coming from under the kneecap. Overtime, this can lead to a wearing away of the kneecap cartilage. There are many possible contributing factors to PFJS. Sometimes there is a lack of local muscle strength to control the kneecap position, or excess tightness around the kneecap restricting normal movement. Often there is a lack of hip muscle control, which allows the leg to fall into a poor biomechanical position when moving around. Poor foot/ankle control or excessive “flat feet” can also contribute to PFJS. A physiotherapist or other
trained health practitioner can assess for what contributing factors are leading to your knee pain and provide treatment approaches to address your needs, whether it be exercises to work on your hip, knee or ankle control, releasing tight soft tissues in your leg, or suggest if orthotics might be of benefit.

““IF IF YOU UO OWN WN A V VEHICLE EHICLEE OF ANY MAKE AND MODEL I AM BEGGING YOU TO BRING IT IN SO I CAN BUY IT FROM YOU!”
“I’m willing to pay top dollar for your trade-in even if you don’t buy a vehicle from us. If you have a vehicle a couple of years old, even if you still owe money on it… bring it to me and let me make you an offer to buy you out so you can get something better.” Local residents have been flocking to Carleton Ford on Highway 7 in Carleton Place for over a month now to find out what their car is worth. It’s predicted the inventory shortage will last till the end of May.
GET YOUR $1000 UPGRADE ALLOWANCE VOUCHER Read This Now – If you have an existing vehicle you’re even thinking about trading in within the next 12 to 24 months, you owe it to yourself to let Mike and his team at Carleton Ford make you an offer. “Most people will get much more for their trade-in this month at Carleton Ford than at any other time in the next 12 months. We’re expecting a lot of pre-owned vehicles to become available in 30-40 days, and at that time, the trader’s market will be over. It will be back to business as usual.” “In addition to the top dollars we’re willing to pay to buy your existing vehicle, we’re giving away Upgrade Allowance Vouchers worth up to $1000 to all the individuals that will let us make them an offer.

I made it myself! Fall Classes for creative kids From building blocks to sewing socks there is no shortage of fall classes available at City of Ottawa facilities for creative kids who like to work with their hands. A listing of classes for kids of all ages can be found at ottawa.ca/recreationguide.
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
Curbing it! Sitting on the curb, waiting for the Richmond Fair parade to pass by last Saturday, Sept. 15, are sisters, from left, Olivia Virtue, Carley Virtue and Lexi Virtue.
For generations, creative kids have been building with LEGO® blocks. Several classes allow kids to take their favourite pastime to a new level by building robots and machines that actually work using gears and motors. Learn basic programming to control the robot using Netbooks and laptops. Youth who are between 13 and 17 years old can build robots with plastic, wood, aluminum, motors and gears. Operate the robot using remote and computer control. No experience necessary. Patience and a willingness to learn are a must. For a purely scientific experience, there are Crazy Science classes available citywide where kids can conduct hands-on science experiments. Or open their minds with magic and science, solving magic mysteries and making cool science projects in a unique Science and Sorcery class. From sketchbook to runway, aspiring fashion designers can bring their fashion ideas to life using
unique materials in Project Runway. Participants design and create clothing and accessories including a tinfoil dress and duct tape purse! There will be photo shoots, special guests and more! Young people who would like to eat their handiwork can get familiar with the kitchen in a cooking class or discover cake decorating. Drawing, sketching, painting, cartooning, photography and crafts of all kinds can be explored in your neighbourhood and across the city. Register starting

Busy rings at Westar Farms John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC sports - There are wedding rings. There are boxing rings. There are rings of fire. And there are horse show rings. And the horse show rings at Westar Farms on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville last Saturday, Sept. 15 were more exciting than a wedding, more action-oriented than a boxing match and more electrifying than any fire as the “Jump Into Fall” bronze level horse show took place. There was even a Spruce Meadows influence in the jumper ring with a Canada flag jump and a hill which the horses and rides had to descend, just like at the renowned Calgary equestrian park.
The high caliber of the show was evidenced by the presence of the Rogers TV cameras and crew on site to video all of the ring action. This “Jump Into Fall” bronze horse show was the third and final of three horses shows held this year at Westar Farms. Over 100 horses and riders competed in a variety of classes in the show. The hunder classes were judged on style and performance while speed and agility with the fewest faults (jumps knocked down) determined the winners in the jumper classes. Westar Farms Equestrian Training Centre is located on Fernbank Road just west of the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club. For information about the equestrian programs at Westar Farms, check out the website www.westarfarms.ca or call 613-253-0078.

Patrick Bourke turns photography into art John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - With Patrick Bourke, photography enters the world of art. His Nikon digital camera is like a painter’s brush, the instrument with which he creates his images, his art. “It’s all about image,” he says in describing the work which leads him to create photographs like the one entitled “Checkered Sky,” an autumn lakeshore scene with a shoreline of eye-attracting crimson trees but with an even more eye-catching sky filled with small puffy white clouds that is now on display in the newest exhibition “Fall Fantasy” at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. “You have to seek the beauty in the image,” Mr. Bourke adds, explaining that the image is what you see. Discovering and capturing this beauty is where photography becomes art and that’s why Mr. Bourke is not just a photographer but an artist. “What you are doing is painting with light,” he says, noting that his work with a camera is all about light and photography being intertwined. And it’s the early morning and evening that provide
the best lighting conditions for photography, especially for landscapes. It’s all about using contrast and exposure to produce the image that he sees. “There’s beauty in everything,” Mr. Bourke says, telling how a 30 minute drive along an access road to his cottage on an isolated lake can become a four hour journey. That’s because everything in the passing landscape can become an image that he wants to capture. He also does not tinker with his images by using a computer program. That’s because he wants people to see the beauty that he sees in the image and so why would he want to alter it in any way. While Mr. Bourke does all types of photographic work, he loves shooting landscapes as he views them as a way of interpreting Canada through his work. And interpretation is a key aspect of this work. “An image has to be able to tell a story,” he says. Perhaps that is why his portrait work focuses not on traditional studio portrait photography but rather on shooting what he calls living portraits – capturing people in real life situations. He likes to work in black and white with his portraits, finding that black and white allows him to capture the es-
sence of the person better than colour photography does. Mr. Bourke, who admits
to having dabbled in photography over the years before taking up the craft seriously
in the last five to six years, has his work on display in two Ottawa area galleries as well as
at the owaa gallery in Stittsville. He also has a website www.patbourke.ca.

Fair parade John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It was like taking a page out of the Tournament of Roses Parade, that world-famous festival of flower-covered floats staged on New Year’s Day in Pasadena, California. But there it was – a floral display extraordinaire moving slowly along the Richmond Fair parade route in last Saturday’s annual Fair parade. Pulled by a John Deere tractor, the flower-covered float attracted a lot of attention on the sunny day with blue skies overhead. And it obviously impressed the parade judges as the float, entered by Richmond Nursery, received the “best of parade” award. The float also won first place in the business category. The parade featured floats, bands, old military vehicles, politicians, antique tractors, vintage cars, fire trucks and more as it moved from its starting point at South Carleton High School along McBean Street and then Perth Street to disperse down Murray Street or up Huntley Road to the fairgrounds. Winners in the business category, besides first place finisher Richmond Nursery, were the entries of Christine Quarrington in second Step by Step School of Dance in third.
In the antiques category of the parade, Preston Harris’ antique tractor took first place. Don Arthur’s vintage vehicle placed second while Tom McCarthy grabbed the third prize in this category. Charlie Brophy won the novelty category while the Richmond Co-Op Nursery School took first place in the category for organizations. Second place went to the St. John’s Anglican Church float while the Goulbourn Skating Club’s float was third. The parade took just over half an hour to pass any one point on the parade route. As is tradition, the Richmond Royal Canadian Legion’s colour guard led the parade, following the leading Ottawa Police Service car in which Richmond Agricultural Society president Larry Monuk was riding. The sounds of the Kemptville Legion Branch 212 Pipe Band came along soon behind, followed by a bevy of politicians – city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt; Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, waving from a convertible driven by Richmond Agricultural Society director Wayne Byrne; NepeanCarleton MP Pierre Polievre, walking along accompanying another convertible; and Nepean-Carleton MPP Lisa MacLeod, sitting on the back of

The flower-laden Richmond Nursery float makes its way along the Richmond Fair parade route last Saturday, Sept. 15. This float won both the “best of parade” award as well as first prize in the business category. yet another convertible. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren stood on the back of a pickup truck rather than ride in a convertible like some of the other politicians. And, not to be outdone, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson was in the parade but he walked the route, chatting with onlookers along the way. Councillor Moffatt had abandoned his ride and walked the parade route in the company of his young son. The Loyal Orange Lodge not only had its traditional float with flags waving in the breeze but a band featuring accordions and drums was
also part of the Orange representation in the parade. The Tunis Temple Shriners were well in evidence in this year’s parade. They were keystone cops, complete with their keystone cops paddy wagon. They were also pilots of the Tunis air force, with three motorized airplanes making their way along the parade route. And new this year were a collection of Tunis hillbillies, complete with outhouse, long beards and just generally that backwoods country look. The Highland Mist Pipe Band provided yet another selection of bagpipe and Scottish music as they marched
along in the parade. Getting a wave from the red-suited Duke of Richmond, riding in the rumble seat of a vintage automobile entered by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, brought smiles to many parade onlookers. An assortment of fire vehicles, from the Stittsville ladder truck to pumper trucks to an old North Gower fire truck, brought up the rear of the parade. Following the parade, many of the spectators who had lined both McBean Street and Perth Street to witness the passing parade, streamed into the Richmond fairgrounds to take in the sights and sounds
of the annual Fair. Entries in this year’s Richmond Fair included those of the Richmond Village Association, Southpaw Landscaping, the Fallowfield Tree Farm, the Richmond Co-Op Nursery School, Little Buggies Daycare, Royal LePage Gale Real Estate, Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association, Wee Loads Topsoil, MyRV.ca with a chain of recreation trailers, Richmond District Lions Club with a flashy yellow convertible, Harmony Gardens Landscpaing, Car-o-Practor, Myers Volkswagen with four Volkswagen vehicles including a yellow 2012 Beetle; and sbsdance.com.

I’d like to begin this week’s column by thanking everyone who came out to the 168th Richmond Fair this past weekend. While we got a little wet on Friday evening, it was a tremendous weekend and I saw plenty of familiar faces from all over Rideau-Goulbourn and beyond. Congratulations to the Richmond Agricultural Society for the countless hours of volunteer service that goes into putting on this annual event. Collection Calendars With recent changes to garbage collection, the collection calendars are a very useful tool in knowing when your collection day is and what to put out. The calendars have already been mailed so if you have yet to receive one, please feel free to call 3-1-1 (613-580-2400) or contact my office. The City also launched a new collection calendar web tool that will allow residents to access their collection schedule more easily. Residents can access the tool by visiting ottawa.ca or by calling 3-1-1 to register for weekly collection day reminders via phone, twitter or e-mail. There have been recent reports on the garbage bag limits that are incorrect. The current limit is three bags, or cans, per week. There have been no changes to this limit and therefore, the new limit would be six bags every two weeks. I think it is important to note, as well, that this is a limit that is not actively enforced, especially when residents are actively participating in recycling programs. Town Hall Meetings September 12th was the date of my first Mid-Tern Town Hall meeting and I’d like to thank those who came out to the Kars RA to get an update on local and citywide issues. The next Town Hall is in Richmond at the Richmond Arena on Wednesday, September 19th followed by another in Burritt’s Rapids on Thursday, September 27th at the Community Hall. The Burritt’s Rapids meeting was originally advertised incorrectly as Wednesday the 27th and I apologize for causing any confusion. Civic Events Funding Local not-for-profit organizations, such as volunteerbased community or recreation associations, are invited to apply for funding to provide one to two-day civic events with free admission that foster civic pride and strengthen communities. Each group can apply for a maximum $3,000 grant.

Sun trumps rain at Fair Special to the News
EMC news - A rainy late Friday was the only weather tarnish for this year’s annual Richmond Fair. Despite the rainy conditions late Friday, the demolition derby went ahead as planned. The wet, muddy conditions
just made for a more exciting derby in many eyes. Sunny weather prevailed for Saturday, especially around parade time. And Sunday turned out to be a perfect Fair day, with sunny weather and blue skies. It was a glorious day at the Richmond fair-
grounds. Among the attention grabbers at this year’s Fair was the quilts on exhibit in the Curling Club building. Quilts were hung up along both walls and along the middle, making for a massive display of these works of art.
And fair-goers were able to have their input with voting for the people’s choice happening. Ballots could be deposited in a box at a table near the main entrance to the building. Kiddyland proved to be
a most popular attraction throughout the days of the Fair. Face painting, demonstrations and performances all kept interest high in the area. The antiques area featured a number of old tractors as
well as steam engines. There even was one exhibit which featured miniature, working steam engines. The midway again proved to be a popular spot, with its ferris wheel and its many other rides, all attracting riders.

Now 79, Ray McLinton is lifelong fan of Fair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - He was born and grew up in Goulbourn and Richmond. Then it was off to Smiths Falls and eventually to Oshawa and a 39 year career with General Motors. But through it all, there has been one constant for Ray McLinton who is now 79 years of age and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Richmond Fair. He attended his first Richmond Fair when he was a youngster, probably around five years old is how he now recalls it. And since then, he might have missed one or two fairs but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all, as he has always made it back to attend the Richmond Fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the Richmond Fair,â&#x20AC;? Ray says. It allows him to see his cousins and family in this area but more importantly, it lets him view the heavy horses being shown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love watching the horses,â&#x20AC;? Ray says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just love them.â&#x20AC;? So, this year was not different and Ray came back again for the Richmond Fair, staying with his sister-in-law Helen Tape in Stittsville. Luck wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with Ray too much this year, though, as he only was able to attend on the Saturday. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because his power cart, which helps him get around these days, gave out on Saturday just as he was heading to the Dining Hall for dinner. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another thing he loves about the Richmond Fair â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the great meals. He managed to get his meal on Saturday but with no power cart and limited mobility, he did not attend the Fair on Sunday. But he did see lots of heavy horses on the Saturday and this should keep him going until he returns for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fair. Ray was born on the Fernbank Road beside the Red Bradley farm where his family farmed. The family then moved to the Huntley Road between Stittsville and Richmond where his father continued to farm. Ray attended S.S. No. 10 at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners and later school in Richmond. Ray recalls that the family had horses on the farm when he was young. This may be where he acquired his love and appreciation of the big horses. The family later moved into Richmond after The Goulbourn Male Chorus presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coast to Coast,â&#x20AC;? a music education performance, on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Program will include Canadian East and West Coast folk songs with narration that will focus on the geography and history as-
Ray McLinton his mother died and his father went to work in Ottawa driving a street car and bus. The family then moved to Smiths Falls where his father worked for a farm equipment manufacturer. Ray then found his way to Oshawa where he went to work for General Motors where he remained working for 39 years. But despite being in Oshawa, he always came back each year for the Richmond Fair, seeing those that he knows who are still around. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all getting old,â&#x20AC;? he says. Local heavy horse exhibitor Brian Crabb is a second cousin and while Ray admits that he does not know Brian very well, he does seem him in action a lot in the ring. Being a longtime visitor to the Richmond Fair, Ray remembers years when it was rainy and muddy. Lately the Fair has enjoyed much better weather, though. The Richmond Fair is the only fall fair that Ray attends. He has never been to the Carp Fair even though he hears that it is a good fair. He says that perhaps some year he get to the fair in Carp as well. sociated with the songs. Everyone welcome. A free well water sample drop-off will take place on Monday, Oct. 15 from 8 a.m. to noon at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at 2135 Huntley Road at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners just south of Stittsville.

Letter: Asbestos is out Fourth annual fall book sale Special to the News
Editor: Friday, Sept. 14, 2012 was a memorable day. It was officially announced that Canada would no longer mine nor export Chrysotile asbestos and would in fact add its name to other countries who support the addition of Chrysotile asbestos to Anex III of the Rotterdam Convention. I am relieved that I will be able to put my rather large “anti-asbestos export” sign away before the cold weather sets in and happily I will have to find something else to do on Wednesday afternoons.
I would be remiss if I didn’t take this opportunity to thank wholeheartedly the small but brave group of supporters who faithfully came out, week after week, to join in the silent vigil protests. An honourable mention as well goes to John Curry, editor of the Stittsville News EMC, who has been absolutely outstanding in his coverage of our protests as we moved monthly from one locale to another. John was very thorough and extremely generous in the newspaper space that he allotted to this issue. For myself, although the
issue was disturbing and frustrating, the experience of standing up for what I and many believed in was rewarding. I hope and pray that others see that they too can make a difference in an effective and peaceful manner when standing up for a cause against injustice and immorality. “I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything; but I can still do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do.” Helen Keller. Rev. Michel Dubord Richmond
EMC news - Boy, what a deal! You can get books dirt cheap. And while stocking up on your reading material for the next little while, you can help out your local library branch. As Howie Mandel on TV would say, “Deal or No Deal?” We say, “Deal.” It’s the fourth annual fall book sale being held by the “A Good Read” used book store at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library, being held this Saturday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the branch which is located on Stittsville Main Street. And what’s the deal? Just this – all adults books are being sold at half price and, don’t’
forget, these are books whose price is already dirt cheap. And, as another great deal, all children’s books will be going on the basis of five for only one dollar. You can’t beat these deals. And while you are getting these great deals on books, you will be helping out the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association whose volunteers run the “A Good Read” book store. Now in its fifth year of operation, the “A Good Read” used book store at the Stittsville library holds giant book sales each spring and fall along with other smaller sales throughout the year. This Saturday, Sept. 22 book sale is the book’s store major sale for this fall.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories EMC lifestyle - We learned to pray at a very early age. Mother was a firm believer in prayer. Father, not so much. Oh, he was a believer in God, but he often wondered why, when we were doing all the right things, we were still poor as church mice. Why we lost several cows when lightning hit the big maple tree on the west hill under which the cows were seeking refuse in a storm was another question he asked. So other than grace at the table at meal time, father pretty well left the praying up to mother. Although mother was raised a Catholic, she became a Lutheran when she married father. Nevertheless, when she felt she needed a special prayer answered, she wasn’t above resorting to her rosary beads. But she always made it clear to us five children, it wasn’t a case of what you used when praying, it was how often, and how fervently you did so. And so every night before we went to bed, we were marched upstairs to what Emerson irreverently called “the scrunch corner”. That was because we all had to scrunch down around mother’s knee when she settled into the old rocking chair that sat under the window in the corner of the room. It was in my sister Audrey’s and my bedroom, which was really the upstairs hall, and it was hardly big enough to hold all of us. I always tried to get in the middle, because then I could rest my head on mother’s knee, but Emerson usually beat me to it. Mother would wait until we had all settled down around her knee, our eyes closed and our hands in steeples, and then she would begin. Her first prayers were ones we said every night. Exactly the

Prayers get family with us five children through the Dirty Thirties - Thank God! same, word for word. And I wondered back then if God got bored listening to the same prayers over and over again. When those prayers were finished, we then said special prayers for everything such as rain, good crops, a bountiful vegetable garden and a good day of selling door-to-door in Renfrew. And mother never forgot the old woman who lived alone in Renfrew, Granny Hines on the next farm, and the minister’s wife, who mother thought was a saint! They were all part of our nightly prayers. And then of course we were expected to come up with our own prayers when all the group praying was over. That idea came to a great and glorious end when Emerson prayed that something evil would befall his very worse enemy at the Northcote School. Mother said, what we would do instead was pray silently to ourselves. I asked her how God would hear us if we didn’t say the prayers out loud. Mother assured me, He would be well aware of my silent prayers. And so began a lifetime of silent praying. Our Lutheran minister certainly didn’t believe in silent prayers, I thought back then. In fact his prayers were so loud, at the time I figured they could hear them in the United church a stone’s throw away. And I wondered if your prayers had an advantage if you took on the pained look that came across our minister’s face whenever he opened his mouth. I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey if she thought he had sore feet, because not only did he have a pained look on his face, he had the habit of rocking from one foot to the other.
To be honest, I was so intrigued with the minister when he was praying that I couldn’t take my eyes off him, when in fact, I was supposed to be sitting in the pew ramrod straight, in deep concentration. Audrey said it had nothing to do with sore feet.’ It had to do with the sincerity of the message. I had no idea what my sister was getting at, so I just had to sit there, Sunday after Sunday with my own thoughts. And then it occurred to me that maybe there was something to this silent prayer business. After all, if a whole lot of people were doing it at the same time, that alone should have an impact and greatly impress God. And so praying silently became part of my life. I’m afraid I wasn’t very good at it to start. I was praying for things that I had seen in the five and dime store window in Renfrew, and even prayed one time that bad Marguirite would move to another country. When none of these things came about, I decided I had to change what I was praying for. We also prayed every morning at the Northcote School. Right after Miss Crosby read a verse from the Bible, she said the Lord’s Prayer, and we repeated it after her. One day I realized we did a lot of praying out there in Northcote...there were the graces at every meal, morning prayers at the Northcote School, our nightly prayers around mother’s knee at night, and the silent prayers each of us were encouraged to offer. I thought back then, with the Depression closed in around us like a tight vice, and every day a struggle for survival, it was the prayers, in whatever form they were given, that were what really got us through the Dirty Thirties.
Loads of fun is in store at 149th annual Carp Fair Derek Dunn
derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news – Both the agricultural/homecraft and entertainment sides of the 149th Carp Fair are promising loads of fun this weekend. This year’s co-presidents, Paul Caldwell and Heather Johnston, say pulling together the massive event this year was a formidable challenge. The drought left many with greater worries on the homefront. A fire at the fair board offices three days after they took the reins didn’t help either. But volunteers worked that much harder to ensure one of the region’s favourite events goes off without a hitch. “We had a rough start with the fire, but we’re good now,” Caldwell said. “It seemed to be a little bit of a (bad) omen, but we’re getting ready for a good fair, that’s for sure.” This year’s theme is “Thanks to the past”. Among the highlights of the fair which runs from Thursday, Sept. 20 through Sunday, Sept. 23 is the heavy horse show, Eastern Canada and Northern New York State’s largest. Expect to see 17 sixhorse hitches in the ring at one time. Another highlight, new this year, is the handson “awareness tent” where kids will get to learn how cow milking is done, along with sheep sheering and butter churning. Other agriculture/homecraft competitions include: heavy and light horse; beef and dairy cattle; sheep; field crops; grain and seeds; fruits and vegetables; maple syrup and honey; flowers; domestic science; sewing, needlework, and crafts; along with the much anticipated home brewing wine and beer. Caldwell said the fair is moving away from its reputa-
tion as a “city fair” in favour of a return to its rural roots. Educating kids and adults alike on where food comes from is taking on a greater role. Thursdays are normally reserved for Toonies for the Troops. But in light of this summer’s drought, the focus has shifted to Toonies for Farmers. Caldwell said he’s talked to area farmers who say Renfrew County was hit hardest but that anyone growing corn has suffered. Hay is also hard to come by; for a round bail that typically goes for $85, farmers are getting just $35. Money raised during the Carp Fair will go to the West Carleton Food Aid, which in turn will buy local beef for those in need, making it a win-win-win. Caldwell is looking forward to the 4H shows, involving some 150 budding farmers. He said far from declining in interest, more and more kids are taking part these days. He credits renewed interest in 4H to great leadership and youth interested in activities that put an emphasis on co-operation and helping one another. Carp Fair is unique in that a co-president reaches the top after 12 years as director of various other sections: from parking to horses to cattle. Caldwell said at this point he is more of an “over-seer” than anything else. Still, he intends to have his hands full this weekend. “It’ll be busy, but I’m sure we’ll have time to enjoy it,” adding that he looks forward to watching his daughter participate in the pig show. On his co-president, who oversees the homecraft side of the fair, and who has also spent the same 12 years on the board, Caldwell said she deserves to be commended for finding the time to volunteer. “Heather’s been great.
She’d had to travel with her job, and has small kids,” he said. “She’s done a really great job.” Johnston said the year of organizing fundraisers such as euchres, ladies and men’s nights, Bingos and more has “flown by” but that all departments – from exhibits to crafts – are running smoothly. She was planning to oversee volunteer lunch for up to 300 on Sept. 20 as one of her last major duties. She, too, downplays the role presidents play in bringing the fair together.
“We get the congratulations and glory, but it really happens all around you,” she said. “It’s like that old saying: many hands make light work.” However, unlike Caldwell, who intends to go volunteer in parking after the “former president” title is taken away, Johnston can’t pinpoint a favourite job she’s held. “I liked learning new things from all of them,” she said. “I’ll always be involved one way or another.” Johnston started volunteering with the fair when she was
just 13. Fair general manager Joyce Trafford was pleased to see how this year’s co-presidents coped with the drought and fire. And how this weekend looks bright. “I think they had a lot of added pressure,” Trafford said. “That (fire) was quite the initiation for them. But now we have a beautiful room upstairs; it has all worked out really well.” The agriculture side crosses with entertainment when it comes to the pig show. Notoriously unwilling to take di-
rection, the show barn often attracts some 1,000 watchers for the contest. Entertainment this year includes new country’s Doc Walker, along with tried and true Carol Baker and George Fox. The latter two are free with admission to the fairgrounds on Saturday afternoon. The same holds true for Catalyst and Platinum Blonde on Sunday. The lumberjacks are back after a three-year hiatus. They replace the flying penguins. For complete details log onto carpfair.ca.

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff
EMC lifestyle - If you’ve ever come across a recipe for Anadama bread, you’re probably familiar with the story of how it got its name. One of the early pioneers in New England supposedly had a lazy wife named Anna. She never had supper ready for him, but every night she would serve him cornmeal mush or pudding. Finally getting tired of this, the fellow stirred some flour and molasses into the mush and put it on the fire to bake. All the time, he kept muttering, “Anna, damn her!” I don’t know what his bread tasted like, but I can guarantee that once you’ve tasted this bread machine version, you’ll make it often. Made with cornmeal, molasses and flour, Anadama bread is very light in texture, brown in color and slightly sweet in flavour. It goes well with almost any meal, but I particularly
like to serve it with chili or soup. This bread keeps well and stays fairly moist for about two days. Anadama Bread * 2/3 cup water * 2 tbsp. cornmeal * 1 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine * 2 tbsp. molasses * 1 1/2 cups flour * 1/2 tsp. salt * 1 tsp. bread machine yeast Measure the ingredients into your bread machine in the order given. Start it, using either the delay or regular cycle. When the bread is done, remove it from the baking pan, and set it on a wire rack for about one hour to cool before slicing. This recipe makes a small loaf, ideal for two to four people.

Well, from now through until Friday, Dec. 14, you can “Go Italian,” as it were, on any Friday evening thanks to St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond.

the world. Of course, the largest per capital consumers of pasta according to 2011 figures are Italians who consume 26 kilograms of pasta per person each year. But consumers in Venezuela eat 12 kilograms per person per year. Those in Tunisia eat almost as much, 11.7 kilograms per person per year. It is truly a food popular throughout the world. And that is certainly the case in North America and here in Canada. Well, you can enjoy gluten free pasta any Friday evening from now through Friday, Dec. 14 right in the community at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall. And what’s even better – if you want to enjoy spaghetti or pasta but would prefer to eat it at home – no problem. Take out will be available.

Regarding Inquiries about the work at Carp Road and 417 As many residents have inquired regarding the work at Carp Road and the 417 on-ramp, I am providing you with the following update. After inquiring with Waste Management, I have been informed that the work consists of re-grading the front area near the 417 on-ramp and installing a new pond, re-establishing the ditch line back to its original location and outlet swale. This work is being carried out to control the ground water that turns into surface water run-off in this area. Waste Management is realigning the drainage from the two ponds that are along the 417. Waste Management has advised that this work is directed towards the surface water in the south-eastern Contaminant Attenuation Zone (CAZ). A company official stated that they have partnered with the owner of the property to deal with the surface water flow. The individual stated that the water is â&#x20AC;&#x153;not contaminated, nor a public health concernâ&#x20AC;?. One must ask themselves why a Contaminant Attenuation Zone (CAZ) should not be viewed as a concern.

JUDE Bryce A. Lorne Cassidy Student After having fought an almost 3 year courageous battle against Ph+ leukemia, at the tender age of 7 Bryce Janney Jude earned his wings, early in the morning on Friday, September 7, 2012 peacefully at Rogers House with his family by his side. Beloved son of Dev and Steve Jude and much loved “2 times” big brother to Mason and Colby. Cherished and adored by “Nana Jen” (Jenny Nicholls) and “Mimi and Poppa” (Donna and Doug Jude). Bryce will also be forever remembered by his Auntie April, Uncle Eric, cousins Alyssa and Taylor and by his whole extended family and friends. Bryce was a sports fanatic – you name it, he played it and loved it...hockey, football, soccer, baseball golf, the list goes on. He also had a passion for fishing, playing cards, board games and lots of Wii and Xbox! Our entire family wants to extend a huge thanks to EVERYONE involved in supporting and caring for Bryce and our family these past 3 years. Family, friends, neighbours, A. Lorne Cassidy elementary school, Stittsville community, all the amazing staff at CHEO, Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, both the Ottawa and Toronto Ronald McDonald Houses and finally, the compassionate team at Rogers House. A service celebrating Bryce’s life was held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Road, Nepean (between Bayshore Dr. and Baseline Rd.) on Sunday, September 16th, 2012 “Outdoor Chapel” (weather permitting) at 2:00 pm., children also welcome. Since Bryce was THE biggest Ottawa Senators fan, we ask that you do not wear black but instead, wear a hockey jersey (no Toronto Leafs!), or something red. In Lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Candlelighters, Ronald McDonald House or Rogers House. Condolences, tributes or donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.

NEWS
Your Community Newspaper
Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up, doc, in village of Stittsville? EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Main Street Community Services is preparing now for its fourth annual used book sale which will be held from Friday, Oct. 19 to Sunday, Oct. 21 at the Stittsville Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be lots of books of all kinds from childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to adult fiction to non-fiction at the sale, a real book loversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dream. There will also be a bake sale and a BBQ held in conjunction with the sale. So, keep the dates in mind if you are looking for a great selection of used books. And, for bargains, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the books will be priced at rock bottom prices with most adult books, for instance, selling for one dollar or less. And then there will be the Sunday blowout when it will cost only five dollar to fill a shopping bag with books. What a deal!... St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street heading into Alexander Grove is getting into the spirit of Villagefest as it is hosting a giant yard sale on Villagefest Saturday, Sept. 29. This yard sale on the church grounds will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with bargains galore promised. You will also be able to enjoy some refreshments as a unique â&#x20AC;&#x153;mug â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; chili will be available, along with beveragesâ&#x20AC;ŚThe new traffic signals at the intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Wintergreen Drive/Mulkins Street are now operational. The installation of these traffic signals marks the end of a 20 year community effort to have this as an intersection controlled by lights, dating back to when Stittsville Main Street was reconstructed at the beginning of the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Credit must go to city
of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who convinced traffic planners at the city that traffic counts at this intersection should also include vehicles using Warner-Colpitts Lane as an access point to the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and Alexander Grove. Combining the traffic activity at both of these Stittsville Main Street intersections pushed the Wintergreen Drive/Mulkins Street intersection over the top as far as traffic volumes were concerned and justified the installation of the traffic signalsâ&#x20AC;ŚCarolyn Clark, who is the current president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville, is now leaving learning behind. She has enrolled in an online course in applied behavioral analysis from the University of Utahâ&#x20AC;ŚThe War of 1812 and more specifically the heroic women of the war will be the topic of a presentation to be given by Kurt Johnson of Munster at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at 6:30 p.m. The formal topic is â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perils and Petticoats: The Exceptional Women of the War of 1812.â&#x20AC;? The presentation is free but registration is required by phoning the Stittsville library at 613-836-3381â&#x20AC;ŚGaia Java Coffee Company, the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home grown coffee shop, now has a second location in Bells Corners. This new Gaia Java location is at 150 Robertson Road in the same shopping area as the Mongolian Grillâ&#x20AC;ŚBy the way, Gaia Java at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be featuring a performance by Quintessence, an acappella jazz ensemble, this Friday, Sept. 21 starting at 7 p.m. This will be something of a preview to
the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance on Sunday, Sept. 23 in aid of Myeloma Canada at Andrew Haydon Park in Nepean. There will be a speaker at the shop this Friday evening as well, talking about myeloma. For this Friday, donations received at Gaia Java Coffee will go to the sponsorship of a person in the upcoming Myeloma March. Normally donations in the shop go to a Ugandan charity. Last Friday evening, guitarist Neil Bateman was at Gaia Java, playing a combination of jazz standards, some classical music and a few pop tunes. Neil is a music teacher at Holy Trinity High School in Kanata who directs the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rhythm and blues bandâ&#x20AC;ŚThe Stittsville Kumon Centre at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) is sporting new furniture these days. It now has smaller tables at which only two students work at a time, replacing the previous larger tables at which four students could sit. These new tables are like those that can be found at Kumon Centres around the world. Having only two students at a table cuts down on the chatter and allows the students to focus more on their studies. In addition, the smaller size of the tables allows instructors to circulate easier throughout the room in assisting students. John and Merilee Clarke own and operate the Stittsville Kumon Centreâ&#x20AC;ŚHelene Hutchings, who works at Coldwell Banker First Ottawa Realty in Stittsville, is already planning for her third annual hair donation cancer fundraiser which will happen on Sunday, April 21 in 2013. All of the funds raised will go to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation for cancer research. In the two
events to date, in 2011 and earlier this year, a total of over $8,000 has been raised to help with cancer researchâ&#x20AC;Ś.Holy Spirit Knights of Columbus Council 12249 of Stittsville held its installation of officers for the 2012-2013 term on Monday, Sept. 10. Richard Rodericks is the Grand Knight while James MacLean is the Deputy Grand Knight. Other officers are George Lafrenier as Chancellor, Joe McCoy as Advocate, Peter Cameron as Recorder, Joseph Carbonetto as Treasurer, David Hamilton as Warden, Wayne Primeau as Outside Guard and Henry Kinsella, Richard Lalande and Brad Poulin as Trustees. Monsignor Joseph Muldoon, who is pastor at Holy Spirit Parish, is the Chaplainâ&#x20AC;ŚThose who like the challenge of trivia, anything from entertainment to music to sports, should consider getting together a team of 2 to 6 players and attend the Quiz Night being held this Saturday, Sept. 22 at 8:30 p.m. at the Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub at the Jackson Trails Plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road. There will be both group and individual prizes as well as raffle gifts provided by the Glen. The event is being held in support of Friends of Hospice Ottawa, a volunteer-based organization serving the west end of Ottawa that provides end of life care for those facing life threatening illnesses. Tickets for the Quiz Night are only $20 per ticket and are available at the Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub (phone 613-836-5622) or from Ruth Cameron of Friends of Hospice Ottawa at 613-591-6002, ext. 27 or via email at foho@rogers.com â&#x20AC;Ś.
Shea/Fernbank roundabout delayed until next year EMC news - The roundabout at the intersection of Shea Road and Fernbank Road will not be happening this year. It had originally
been announced that a roundabout would be established at this intersection this year. Shea Road is being realigned to permit such an installation to work at this intersection
and the road realignment. These land purchase nego-
tiations are taking longer than expected. As a result, the con-
struction of the roundabout is until next year.
