Tysen’s ‘Mission’ closes in on $200,000 mark John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville began with a five year plan for his “Mission To A Million.” He wanted to raise $200,000 per year for five years, generating one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Well, the first anniversary of the start of his “Mission To A Million” is approaching on Oct. 29 and Tysen

has raised $193,659.88 to date. With a little over a month to go in the first year of his Mission, Tysen could reach his first year target. Tysen is very motivated to reach his overall goal and he wants to stay on track with his annual goals in order to reach the million dollar mark in his five year time span for his Mission. Last week, Tysen saw the fourth and five wishes funded by his “Mission To A Million” fundraising

granted, with two siblings, nine year old Tait and 12 year old Aislinn, who live in the Glebe in Ottawa, having their wishes granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tait wishes to have a duet bike and this is what he got as his wish was granted. The bike came all the way from New Zealand and has a special feature where the seat on which he sits can be removed when a destination is reached and then can be used as a wheelchair. Tait was so excited when he was presented with his bike that he could hardly wait for it to be brought outside so that he could go for a ride on it. As for his sister Aislinn, her wish was to go to Disney World and that’s what will be happening. She and her family will be travelling to the Give Kids The World Resort in Orlando on Saturday, Oct. 4. See TYSEN’S, page 2

And what’s she most looking forward to at Disney World? Well, she wants to ride Space Mountain as many times as she possibly can. Tysen Lefebvre, who is a student at Goulbourn Middle School, was born with a rare genetic disorder called Pfeiffer Syndrome and so far in his life, he has had over 26 surgeries, beginning when he was only nine days old.

Tysen himself was fortunate enough to have his wish granted by the Make A Wish Foundation as he got to fly to Los Angeles and meet Adam Sandler, his favourite actor. He was inspired by Adam’s generosity and decided that he too wanted to give back, just like Adam does. This is how his Mission To A Million campaign started with the goal of raising one million dollars so that Make A Wish Foundation could grant 100 wishes.

Installation of new executive as Lionettes mark 40th anniversary John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s a club which has done much over the past 40 years since its formation but the Stittsville Lionette Club has been more than that over its four decade history. This is not only a club but its members have become the best of friends. This is how incoming Lionette president Diane Davidson put it in her comments at the club’s installation of its new executive at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Sept. 17. This event not only marked the installation of new officers for the coming year but also was a celebration of the club’s 40th anniversary. Incoming president Diane Davidson noted that the Stittsville Lionette Club was founded 40 years ago with the purpose of helping to share with the Stittsville District Lions Club its projects and work in the community. In addition, she noted that the Lions Club members in turn have helped out the Lionettes on their projects. She said that the Lionettes had accomplished much over the years and she was looking forward to leading the club through another successful year in the coming year. She received the president’s gavel from outgoing president June Warner who, in her remarks at the event, noted the work that the Stittsville Lionettes Club had been able to do over the past year in terms of raising funds and awareness for the new residential hospice which is to be built to serve residents in west Ottawa. She said that those at Hospice Care Ottawa have been amazed that such a small group could do so much on behalf of hospice. June said that her dream is to see all of the service organizations in the community doing something in sup-

port of the new hospice, saying that it is not how much money is raised but it’s all about supporting such an endeavour. “It’s about caring and sharing and it’s about compassion,� she said, adding that at some point, everyone will need end-of-life care like that provided in hospice care. She admitted that she did not know very much about hospice care until her late husband Ivan experienced hospice care in his final days – days which were happy and content thanks to the hospice care. June praised those involved with hospice, calling them all caring and compassionate. As outgoing president, June presented all of the Lionette Club members present with a flower to thank them for their support and work over the past year during her presidency. June also received a gift of appreciation from the club members for her work as the Lionette president over the past year. Diane Davidson is the new president of the Stittsville Lionette Club for the coming year. Others on the new executive are June Warner as immediate past president; Georgette St. John as first vice-president; Marilyn Southall as second vice-president; Debbie Carson as secretary; Clare Redtman as treasurer; and Cheryl Drain as tail twister.

Caribbean vacation feel provided by the duo of Leo Maiorino and Gord Long who call themselves “Main Street,� a most fitting name in this case since Stittsville Travel and Cruise Centre is on Stittsville Main Street, right across from Holy Spirit Catholic School. Those attending this “Party Down South In Our Backyard� brought along their own seating, with many enjoying the Caribbean meal that was available at the event thanks to Scrumptious Catering of Stittsville. The meal had a cost to it, the only thing that was not free at this event, but Scrumptious served it hot and delicious – it really hit the spot! This “Party Down South In Our Backyard� began at 6 p.m., running through to 9 p.m. And, who knows, when some of those in attendance at this event are sitting in the warm sunshine on a real beach at a Caribbean resort this winter, arranged through Stittsville Travel and Cruise Centre, perhaps their thoughts will briefly flicker back to this Thursday, Sept. 18 evening in Stittsville when the temperature was cool but the hospitality was hot at this “Party Down South In Our Backyard.�

Caring Canadian Award for Jennifer Harris News - Jennifer Harris of Stittsville has received the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award. She was presented with the award recently by Her Excellency Sharon Johnston, the wife of Governor General, His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston. The Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award recognizes individuals who volunteer their time to help others and to build a smarter and more caring nation. The award is meant to thank these Canadians for their contribution and for the positive impact that they have had on the lives of others. The award recognizes those in Canada who have made a significant, sustained and unpaid contribution to their community. There is a whole host of places where Jennifer Harris has volunteered in the past and also is currently volunteering. Previous volunteer locations have included the Stitts-

ville branch of the Ottawa Public Library, Heartwood House, OC Transpo’s Lost and Found, Robertson House, Stittsville Public School, People First of Ottawa, Stittsville Civitan Club, Red Pine Camp and the Green Party. Among her current volunteer locations are an Ottawa city councillor’s office, the Ottawa Furniture Bank, the Betty Harris piano studio, Elderwood Trail Associates, the Ottawa Masonic Board of Relief, Responsible Dog Owners, Special Olympics Rhythmic Gymnastics, Cards and Designs by Jenn and LiveWorkPlace. When the Right Honourable Romeo LeBlanc became Governor General of Canada, he was determined to honour the thousands of caring people who give so much to their fellow citizens. He wanted to honour those who volunteer their time, their efforts and much of their lives to helping others and who ask for nothing in return. In 1995, the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award

was created. The Caring Canadian Award consists of a certificate and a lapel pin which are presented to the recipients. The award’s emblem represents Canadians who selflessly give of their time and energy to others. The maple leaf symbolizes the people of Canada and their spirit. The heart depicts the open-heartedness of volunteers. The outstretched hand portrays boundless generosity. The helping hand and heart support the maple leaf. The blue and gold colours, which appear on the vice regal flag, indicate the award’s connection with the Governor General. The award’s emblem was the result of a national, public design competition held when the Caring Canadian Award was first launched in 1995. This Caring Canadian Award is the only award for volunteerism given by the Governor General of Canada.

SPORTS NOTICE OF PASSING OF ZONING BY-LAWS AND ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT BY THE CITY OF OTTAWA TAKE NOTICE that the Council of the City of Ottawa passed By-law Numbers 2014-343, 2014-347 and 2014-350 on September 10, 2014 under Section 34 of The Planning Act. TAKE NOTICE in accordance with Section 17(23) of The Planning Act, you are hereby notified of Ottawa’s City Council’s decision on September 10, 2014 to adopt Amendment No.136 to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa. The Zoning By-law Amendments and Official Plan Amendment result from a City-initiated study on building heights in Kanata. Details on the properties affected by these amendments can be found on the study website at www.ottawa.ca/kanatazoning. PURPOSE OF THE ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENTS The amendment from By-law 2014-343 has the effect of rezoning 1200 Maritime Way to permit a maximum building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys. The land will be zoned MC15(2165)-h, which is a mixed-use zone permitting a range of residential and non-residential uses. The property will also be subject to a holding zone (- h) which is conditional upon a development being granted approval from the Urban Design Review Panel (UDRP) and an application for Site Plan Control. This means the right to a building height of the lesser of 67 metres or twenty-storeys will not be permitted until the holding zone is lifted which first requires approval by UDRP and Site Plan Control. The amendments to 1200 Maritime Way represent an implementation of the amended Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan, which further provides consistency with Official Plan Amendment 150. By-law 2014-343 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect. By-law No. 2014-347 effects various properties along March Road at the intersections of Klondike Road, Shirley’s Brook Drive and Terry Fox Drive, as well as various properties along Hazeldean Road (Terry Fox Drive to Eagleson Road) and along the west side of Eagleson Road south of Rothesay Drive to Terry Fox Drive. The amendments implement the Official Plan by rezoning properties along March Road to generally permit building heights up to six storeys and zoning that permits a range of residential and commercial uses. The amendments along the subject properties on Hazeldean Road and Eagleson Road generally permit heights up to nine storeys (30 metres) as well as permitting a variety of residential and commercial uses. The Heritage Overlay was removed from the property municipally known as 486 Hazeldean Road. By-law No. 2014-350 effects 420 & 430 Hazeldean Road by amending the zoning to permit a variety of non-residential uses consistent with this Arterial Mainstreet and to update the parking requirements. PURPOSE OF THE OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT Official Plan Amendment No.136 amends the Kanata Town Centre Secondary Plan to ensure that the policy direction is updated for consistency with OPA 150, especially as it relates to building heights and density along the Rapid Transit Corridor. Amendment No. 136 will not come into effect unless, and until, the corresponding policies of OPA 150 also come into effect.

World medal for Bren Hunter Special to the News

Sports - Six karate world championships as a member of the Team Canada contingent. Five world championship titles. Twenty world medals in total. Now that’s quite a career and yet for 15 year old Bren Hunter of Stittsville, this is just the start. Just recently back home from competing in the 2014 WKU/GCO World Karate Championships in London, England at the end of August, Bren is already looking forward to preparing for the 2015 WKU/GCO World Championships to be held in Albir, Alicante in Spain. This will mark his seventh trip to the world karate championships. He has also represented Canada at previous world karate championships in Spain, Scotland, Germany, Florida, Greece and recently England. Bren returned home from these 2014 WKU/ GCO World Karate Championships recently without a handful of world championship medals as in the past but he was not empty handed either. Competing for the first time in the boys Teen division (age 15-17) which is acknowledged as one of the toughest, most competitive and most talented divisions in the competition, Bren still managed to find his way to the podium despite an elite world-class field, capturing a bronze medal in the Traditional Weapons category. This was Bren’s 20th medal in world karate championship competition. Bren also competed in three additional weapons and forms divisions, coming just shy of making the finals. In the Teen pointfighting under 65 kilogram division, Bren lost to the eventual world championship from homeland England. Bren also joined forces in the free style synrhronized team weapons category with a new partner, Emma Cross from his own Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy (CSMA) club. Bren and his previous team partner Max Kelland of Cantley, Quebec were the reigning world champions in this event. Bren and Emma managed to set the crowd on fire with their routine but an unfortunate technical error just seconds before the finish disqualified them from the finals. But they made an impact as the judges were still talking about their amazing performance as the overall competition wound up. A year of training together for Bren and Emma should help them make an impact in next year’s competition. Bren is a member of the Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy (CSMA) on Iber Road in Stittsville. Fellow CSMA club members who joined Bren and the 60 person Team Canada contingent headed by Team Canada President Patrick Lavallee of Berthierville, Quebec were Danny Campbell, Emma Cross, Stephen Cross, Sarah Gaffney, Imran Jaffer, Vincent Meh, Melanie Reid, Kayla Shepherd, Kaiser Tem and Milan Wang. Altogether, the CSMA team members captured a total of 33 medals at the world karate championships. Bren could not attend and compete at these world karate championship events without the generosity and support of many local businesses that support his efforts and help him in raising funds for his training, travel and world competition expenses. Monetary contributions were received from the Kanata Sports Club,

The gift basket ended up being worth more than $1,300. Local businesses which contributed to this gift basket were Dave’s Auto Detailing (Kanata), Bond’s Décor (Stittsville), Baton Rouge (Kanata), Beyond the Batter (Stittsville), Boston Pizza (Kanata), Crazy Horse Stone Grill (Kanata), Dragon’s Lair (Stittsville), Giant Tiger (Stittsville), Hurley’s (Stittsville), JoJo’s Pizza (Stittsville), Kal’s Place (Stittsville), Lois ‘n Frima’s Ice Cream and Heads Up Barber Shop (Stittsville), Mucho Burrito (Kanata, Napoli’s Café (Stittsville), Papa Sam’s (Stittsville), Pretty Pots (Stittsville), Rare (Kanata), Sani-Sol (Stittsville), Scores (Kanata), Stittsville Trailers, The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub (Stittsville), Wild Wings (Kanata), 8435260 Canada Inc.

Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville and Loblaw’s at Kanata Centrum both contributed as venues to help sell the tickets for this gift basket. The lucky winner of the basket was James Heaton. Bren will be training and growing over the coming year, expecting to catch up to the 17 years olds that he will be competing against in the tough age 15-17 Teen division at next year’s WKU/GCO world karate championships in Spain. He is hoping that he will not only be able to add to his world medal count but will be able to increase his world title count as well.

NOTICE OF ADOPTION OF AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT TO THE CITY OF OTTAWA OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 17(23) of the Planning Act, you are hereby notified of Ottawa City Council’s decision on September 10, 2014 to adopt Amendment No. 140 to the Official Plan of the City of Ottawa. PURPOSE OF THE AMENDMENT

With the plaque that has been placed beside a red oak tree on the grounds of the Granite Ridge long term care facility in Stittsville which commemorates the founding members of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society are, from left, Vivian McLean, a member of the Society’s Board of Directors; Doreen Bell, who is one of the founding members of the Society in 1962 and has been a member ever since; Ian Frei, who is the president of the Horticultural Society; and Marg Farr, a past president of the Horticultural Society.

Granite plaque now marks commemorative tree Special to the News

News - A granite plaque now marks a tree that had been planted on the grounds of the Granite Ridge long term care facility in Stittsville in honour of the founding members of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. The red oak tree had been planted by the Horticultural Society on the grounds at the Granite Ridge long term care facility in the summer of 2012 to honour the founding members of the Horticultural Society on the organization’s 50th anniversary. The plaque, which now can be seen at the foot of the tree, reads as follows: “Commemorating Founding Members of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society 1962-2012.” The ceremony to place the plaque at the tree, which happened on Saturday, Sept. 13, took place in the presence of one of the founding members of the Horticultural Society, Mrs. Doreen Bell of Stittsville. In fact, Mrs. Bell placed the plaque at the site with the help of Horticultural Society president Ian Frei, Society vice-president Penny Horeczy, and directors Vivian McLean and Margret Farr. Mrs. Bell has been a member of the Horticultural Society ever since it was founded in 1962. She is a life member of the Horticultural Society as well as a permanent member of its Board of Directors. It was Catherine Disley, a Master Gardener and then-president of the Horticultural Society, who presided over the selection and planting of the red oak tree on the grounds at the Granite Ridge facility back in 2012. The inaugural meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society was held at what was then Stittsville Public School (now the Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in January, 1962. Among those in attendance were Emerson and Grace Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Archer, Thor and Pam Thorgrimsson, Dr. Nils Olson, Roberta Boucher and Archie and Doreen Bell. Over the past 52 years since its founding, the Horticultural Society has grown and flourished thanks to the initial efforts of the founding members aided by the contributions of countless members over the intervening years to the present. The mission of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society is to educate and promote all areas of horticulture and related environmental issues throughout the community. Members now tend the recently renewed gar-

den area surrounding the “Welcome to Stittsville” sign at the southwest corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road. Each spring, in order to raise funds to continue its work in the community, the Society holds a plante sale in Stittsville in late May, with members donating local plants, shrubs and seedlings which are sold. To celebrate Earth Day in April, Society members turn out to take part in “Cleaning the Capital” by clearing litter and debris from the Society’s adopted portion of the Trans Canada Trail between West Ridge Drive in the west and Sacred Heart Catholic High School in the east. This includes cleaning up Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. Speaking of Village Square Park, Society members also plant and maintain the large concrete planters at the park, populating the planters with specially selected plants to beautify and enhance the enjoyment of Village Square Park and the adjacent Trans Canada Trail for both Stittsville residents and Trans Canada Trail visitors as well. Membership in the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society at a cost of $15 per year for a single person and $25 per year for a family provides access to experienced, knowledgeable local gardeners. In addition, meetings and newsletters share news of horticultural activities both locally and across the region. Novice and veteran gardeners alike can benefit from the Society’s guest speakers, its garden and bus tours, its seminars and workshops and its photography competition. Meetings with informative speakers are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. except for the months of July, August and December). The meetings are held at the Pretty Street Community Centre at the corner of Orville Street and Pretty Street in Stittsville, just east of Stittsville Main Street. Guests to these meetings are always welcome. For more information about the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, check out the website https://sites.google.com/site/sghortsoc/ home .

Trustee races pick up speed

N

ext month’s municipal election will include more names on ballots thanks to growing interest of would-be school trustees. More people than usual want to serve on the city’s public and Catholic school boards. It’s a good sign for the present day and for the future. In the past, many candidates have been acclaimed. In every case, that means the lack of political campaigning has removed an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for candidates to prove they are well-suited to the role. Many people are quick to complain about their political choices, but may be unwilling to step forward themselves. Those that run deserve kudos. Given that a trustee gets to work hard for very little compensation, it’s given that anyone willing to run for that office is doing so because they want to make a difference, not for fame, glory or financial gain. It takes confidence to step up and face the test of an election, and for that, every candidate should be

commended. Every candidate will learn a great deal even if they are unsuccessful. Campaigning, posting signs and knocking on doors teaches us about them, and teaches the candidates about themselves. Those who do go on to serve will learn even more. They will also get a large helping of parents’ demands and a taste of politics. It cannot be easy to listen to demands from people on both sides of an issue – nice people, difficult people – knowing there is oftentimes no way to make everyone happy. Some of our trustees may look beyond the school board table in coming years. And following a positive term or two, those who enjoy the life may well move on to a run for city council, with provincial and federal seats a possibility if they prove worthy. So give your trustee race a thought prior to Oct. 27 vote. Kids should experience a school system led and directed by dedicated people, and it’s worth learning a bit so kids learn better. It’s all win-win, except that someone has to lose.

t’s interesting to follow, at a safe distance, the debate over noise at the Ottawa Folk Festival. You can sum it up as follows: one the one side are people who are bothered by music they consider to be too loud; on the other side are people who think the complainers are old-fashioned and should get over it. None of this is new – although complaints about pulsing bass notes do not traditionally accompany folk festivals – and none of it is confined to this city. It is part of the inevitable conflict between those who want a city to be more than it is and those who like it just fine right now. The usual focus of the debate is the big event – a festival, a summit meeting, a major sporting event. Those who support the big event

That was pretty great for them and it got lots of photographs in the international media showing Toronto as the kind of place where movie stars can be found. It was not pretty great for the nonstargazing-public, whose streetcars were routed off King Street onto other streets which already had their own streetcars, plus hundreds, if not thousands, of automobiles trying to find their way across town.

ronto media certainly made mention of traffic difficulties, but the coverage paled beside the worshipful attention given to movie stars waving. The film festival is there to stay, but there is a growing tide of expert opinion that many big events are more trouble for a city than they are worth. There are fewer bids from major cities for big events. Toronto is now gearing up for the Pan-Am Games, which will last two weeks next July. There will be big construction, big-time security and lots of rerouting of traffic. Perhaps it will enhance the city’s reputation, but will do little for the city’s reputation among the people who live in it. This is the trade-off cities face.

Sex offender supports on a shoestring Despite its success, the federal gov’t is pulling funding for Circles of Support, a program that helps high-risk sex offenders Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

T

he day the doors to David’s prison cell slid open and he was free after spending five and a half years behind bars for sex crimes against children, he was given a one-way ticket to Ottawa and placed on a bus. Armed only with expired identification, a little cash earned inside prison and two boxes and a bag containing his few possessions, David arrived in the city with limited prospects. The challenges he faced reintegrating in society were enormous. There would be hurdles in finding a job and stable housing, securing money and proper identification and abiding by strict supervision rules that kicked in upon his release. “It had been almost six years,” said David, speaking under a pseudonym to protect his identity. “It was overwhelming. Scary, because you’re coming out into society and it’s open, it’s freedom. “So it was difficult at first, but eventually you blend into it.” The key to blending in, in part, proved to be two smiling women who met him at the bus stop as planned, – his first introduction to a surrogate network of friends and family who wanted to help him rebuild his life, and in the process, ensure he would not reoffend. They are among more than 50 volunteers with Circles of Support and Accountability-Ottawa, one of 20 CoSA programs across Canada through which 500 volunteers are helping nearly 200 high-risk, highneeds sex offenders reintegrate in society after prison. “At first I didn’t know what to do. I have no social life,” said David. “There was a bit of boredom, a bit of loneliness, but I was able to talk to CoSA about it.” Each week, he met with his group of four volunteers to talk about his is-

While critics are alarmed by the federal government’s decision to cut off essential funding to a successful program that safeguards the community by helping higher-risk sex offenders stay victim-free after prison, offenders themselves say the program has been key to ensuring they do not commit more crimes.

They provided him with friendship and support, referring him to services in the city that could help him. Positive social supports, experts say, combined with sexual-behaviour counselling and treatment, are key to ensuring former offenders such as David do not fall back into their old patterns, leading to more victims.

After almost a year with CoSA, David seemed to be doing well. He had stable housing at a halfway house for ex-inmates and was taking part in a counselling program there. He had found work. But he was keeping secrets. David was unlawfully using a cellphone to access the Internet and messaging people. He became evasive with his volunteers. “I was doing OK, but I didn’t tell

them what I had or what I was doing. I didn’t want to get caught. I didn’t want to go back to jail,” he said. “Because then we would’ve been obliged to report (to police),” recalled Susan Love, program co-coordinator of CoSA-Ottawa since 2002, the year it was officially established with funding from Correctional Service Canada. “I thought I was going to get away with it, and then I went further,” David said. His volunteers knew something was wrong. Suspicious halfway house staff found restricted items, such as his phone, in his room. That day, when David returned from work, he was arrested. He was convicted for breaching his release conditions and spent eight months in a detention centre and another eight in prison. “It was so disappointing,” said one of his volunteers, who requested anonymity to protect David’s identity. “I knew something was wrong, and he was very good at hiding.” She and Love stuck by him, and CoSA agreed to support him again after his release in exchange for promising to abide by several extra conditions. “I didn’t have to continue the relationship, but I thought, ‘Hate what they do, don’t hate the person,’” the volunteer said. “It’s unconditional.” David is back living at the halfway house, working full time and meeting with his CoSA volunteers. “It’s based on trust and through trust the guys open up more. It’s like a friendship, almost like a family that develops,” said Love, who currently oversees more than 50 trained volunteers helping 11 men in Ottawa – with two more on the way – many of whom have been convicted of multiple violent sexual offences against children or adults. “The thing is we all have circles of support – family, friends, colleagues. They often have nobody.” Many high-risk sex offenders are considered such a high risk to reoffend they are kept locked up for the duration of their sentence. The day they are released, many no longer fall under the jurisdiction of Correctional Service Canada, nor are they eligible for continued support, treatment or supervision. Their success becomes doubtful, the reason why many voluntarily participate in CoSA, the only program of its kind. But supporting and holding these

people accountable for their actions costs money, and funding cuts from the federal government are imminent. FUNDING ISSUES

CoSA-Ottawa is now scrambling to find long-term funding, but may have to consider eventually closing its doors. It is not alone. Seventeen of 20 CoSA programs across Canada will lose about $300,000 on March 31, 2015, from Correctional Service Canada – including $12,000 from CoSA-Ottawa. The funding was originally slated for the chopping block on March 31, 2014, but was reinstated for another year after Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney asked the correctional service to reconsider. Beyond next March, the department will continue to fund $325,000 annually to the Mennonite Central Committee of Ontario, which supports more than 50 Circles in southern Ontario. While the cuts were made “following a rigorous budget and program analysis of the community based initiative,” CSC agrees the program is effective. “Volunteers and partners such as CoSA actively engage community support which is essential to building safer communities,” federal corrections spokeswoman Melissa Hart said in an email. When asked if the department will reconsider its decision, she said all CoSAs are encouraged “to actively seek out other sources of ongoing funding.” The saving grace over the past five years has been a $7.5-million project through Public Safety Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre researching the effectiveness of the program at 16 CoSA sites in 19 cities. The results have not yet been published. Of that, Ottawa’s program has received $82,000 annually, which has also allowing it to expand its programming, help more participants, improve volunteer training and screening and hire a part-time assistant and casual bookkeeper. With the contract set to expire on Sept. 30, CoSA-Ottawa is cutting everywhere it can – the bookkeeper has been let go, and the assistant will leave at the end of the month. Continued on page 10

BY THE NUMBERS

Continued from page 9

The charity recently secured two $10,000 one-year grants from the Community Foundation of Ottawa and the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa. “We’re definitely not out of the woods,” said Love. The optimal annual cost to fund CoSA, and help cover expenses, such as rent and allow Love to work full time, is between $80,000 and $100,000. But at the end of the month, CoSA will need to survive on $32,000, $10,000 of which can’t be used for salaries. That total will be further reduced by $12,000 at the end of March. “This is certainly not sufficient to continue to operate at capacity, so I will likely have to be reduced to part time which is problematic with our increased numbers,” said Love, whose role includes providing oversight and intervention. “And if I’m not able to do that because I’m so busy applying for grants and that sort of thing then that’s not safe.” It’s too soon to tell whether the Ottawa Circles will have to be scaled back to some degree. “So I don’t know if we’d have to tell some guys, ‘Let’s look at the highest risk to reoffend,’” said Love. “I don’t want to have to make that kind of judgment call.” CoSAs have proven extremely successful in curbing reoffence rates. A national study of two groups of 44 offenders from 2005 to 2007 revealed those who relied on CoSA after prison sexually reoffended 83 per cent less and violently reoffended 73 per cent less compared to the group that did not have Circles. Of the 35 men who have participated in the Ottawa program since 2002, one reoffended sexually, though less severely compared to his previous crimes. Some, like David, have breached release conditions. “(That) is a small number, but when you think of the number of victims who have not been affected because of those 35 guys, that’s hard to quantify,” Love said. The funding cuts are creating a new crisis in a system already plagued by problems, according to Dr. Paul Federoff, an Ottawa-based forensic psychiatrist who was involved in forming Canada’s second Circle in 1994. The release that year of notorious pedophile Wray Budreo, who had dozens of convictions for molesting boys, prompted outrage, but

Media attention was intense, and under the cover of darkness one Sunday night he was secretly driven from the prison chaplain’s home to Federoff’s office. “We set up on that day one of the first CoSA Circles and I’m happy to say that person never reoffended,” said Federoff, a forensic psychiatrist and director of the Sexual Behaviours Clinic at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. In another example, a sexual predator would wait at the bus station for children to get off the bus, then invite them to stay at his home, where he would assault them. “He was released from the federal penitentiary and driven to the bus station where he was left,” said Federoff. “That’s how our system works now, with no supervision.” Parole is designed to allow an offender to transition back into the community with some level of supervision. But over time the Parole Board of Canada has become increasingly conservative to the point where a federal high-risk sex offender is kept imprisoned until his sentence is complete, said Federoff, who treats and provides therapy to 70 people a week, some of them former offenders who also receive support from CoSA-Ottawa. “So they go to immediate free-

dom in the community with no supervision at all – probably the worst possible scenario that you could think of,” he said. “And that’s now become routine.” Police agree there is an enormous gap in providing support to dangerous offenders who are deemed “too bad” to be released early. “The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing,” said Staff Sgt. Dana Reynolds, head of the Ottawa police high risk offender unit, which is responsible for monitoring high-risk offenders, among other roles. “It’s kind of like a strange loophole in the law.” Parolees, as well as those offenders such as David whose postrelease supervision orders include a residency stipulation, have access to halfway houses, treatment and the support of a parole officer. But there are many who are released free and clear without support and are going into homeless shelters as a result. This sets them up for failure, said Reynolds, reason why, over the past year she has tried, though unsuccessfully, to secure grants in partnership with organizations such as the John Howard Society of Ottawa to pay for dedicated beds in halfway houses for this population. Homeless shelters offer many temptations, such as drugs, and police say it can be difficult to track those who don’t have a fixed ad-

dress, adding to the already challenging job of monitoring those who relocate to Ottawa. “Our best monitoring is a phone call every now and then, maybe a door knock here and there, but really it’s not like they’re being followed around or anything,” said Reynolds. “We don’t have the resources or the ability to do that.” LEADING THE WAY

CoSA is making serious inroads in ensuring there are no more victims. Canada is, in fact, internationally regarded as the founder of the CoSA model, which has been emulated by several nations, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain and Ireland. South Korea launched its program in August. “This is a made-in-Canada solution,” said clinical and forensic psychological consultant Robin Wilson, who, as Correctional Service Canada’s first community based sex offender specialist hired in 1992, helped form the first Canadian Circle in 1994 around repeat child molester Charlie Taylor. Though there was a 100 per cent chance Taylor would reoffend within seven years of his release, he never did in 12 years of freedom before his death in 2006 – similar to Budreo’s case. Their Circles are largely credited with those successes. Continued on page 11

What the experts say

“The people who are lower risk get all the resources and the people that were too dangerous to be released on parole get nothing.”

“The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups.”

“Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

“I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is shortsighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims.”

Positive inroads in the treatment of sex offenders were made in Canada in the late 1980s, followed by the introduction of training for parole officers in sexual offender risk management. This led to improved treatment, supervision and a reduction in reoffence rates, Wilson said. But experts have watched over the years as program delivery officers have been replacing psychologists in the treatment of incarcerated sex offenders, who, Wilson said, are functionally equivalent to guards. In response, Correctional Service Canada spokeswoman Véronique Rioux said the department’s programs differ from counselling and psychotherapy and are delivered by “specifically trained” correctional programs officers to groups of inmates, serving as structured interventions that target factors linked to criminal behaviour.

with a psychologist and two facilitators every day for several hours over the course of eight months. But when he was sent back to jail for breaching his conditions he could only see the psychologist three times in eight months because other higher-needs prisoners came first. “Mine wasn’t a high need,” he said, but added while he wanted to see a specialist every two weeks, there were only a handful of psychologists for all 600 inmates. “I knew I’d done something wrong and I wanted to know where I went wrong,” David said. Three visits in eight months is not sexual offender treatment, according to Wilson. “That would be like taking an aspirin three times over the course of a month and thinking that it’s going to deal with your (chronic) headache,” he said, adding that such inconsistent support is unlikely to manage the problem long term or lead to lasting change. In addition, Wilson said there has been a push in the last five to seven years for prisons to provide less specialized programming to a larger swath of inmates. “But in a generic program there will be aspects that don’t apply to one group or more, such as sex offenders,” Wilson said. Federoff also notes that federal prisons no longer offer treatment for low-risk sex offenders – which the correctional service confirmed was stopped in 2010 based on research showing they benefit more from other interventions than correctional programs. Meanwhile, those at a high risk

Studies reveal that 15 per cent of sex offenders will sexually reoffend within five years after getting out of prison. Interesting new research shows the likelihood of even highrisk offenders reoffending drops every year they don’t commit another crime, Federoff said. CoSA plays an important role in ensuring former offenders live crimefree, which caught the attention of several American states, where Wilson is providing training and technical assistance in the creation of Circle programs. “The Circles model is growing in the U.S. With each passing month we get more calls for further support for Circle startups,” said Wilson, who also served as chief psychologist for the correctional service’s Ontario region from 2001 to 2005. “Yet, in Canada, where it is our idea in the first place and where we seem to have done quite well with it, we’re continually fighting with the government for continued existence funding.” While the U.S. is embracing CoSA and other community based solutions, Canada is moving away from rehabilitation to an expensive tough-on-crime model that focuses on incarceration, tougher sentencing and elimination of statutory release, said Wilson. “Right-wing people in the United States are advising the federal government in Canada, ‘Don’t go that route. We went that route. It cost us a ton of money. It’s not working,’” he said, adding that research shows more punishment in most cases results in more crime.

These programs are based on cognitive-behavioural strategies and skills that teach participants to learn how to deal with those risk factors that led them to offending, Rioux said, noting the department also employs teams of mental-health professionals, including nurses, psychologists and social workers, to work alongside correctional staff. While behind bars, David joined a group of sex offenders who met daily

to reoffend often cannot access sexoffender treatment until the tail end of their sentence, Federoff said. “I think prisons are excellent for isolating people who are dangerous and for punishing, but they are terrible for treatment,” he said. Community based treatment, such as that offered through Federoff’s outpatient clinic at the Royal, also helps reduce reoffending. Studies show those offenders who complete treatment will reoffend about 40 per cent less than those who haven’t. Some victims may resent offenders getting such support since not enough is spent on victim services, said Steve Sullivan, executive director of Ottawa Victim Services, but he understands the important role CoSA plays in protecting more people. “I also believe that not properly funding CoSA is short-sighted and will mean helping fewer offenders, which possibly means more victims,” he said. “So, from a policy perspective, even if some victims are opposed, the federal government should be funding programs that prevent victims.” David, who is grateful for his second chance, credits CoSA and halfway house staff with helping him refresh the coping strategies and other tools he learned in prison. “I had dysfunctional relationships in the past and I think I would have had those again if I didn’t have the support I did,” he said. “I would have got into another relationship and back into drugs and then maybe, perhaps – that’s the cycle – I end up eventually reoffending.” Despite breaching his conditions and going back to prison, he says he

knows the value of having people in his life with whom he can share his thoughts and feelings – a new skill he learned in prison. “I know I didn’t have them before and I offended, and the chances would have been higher for me of reoffending again if I didn’t have that, I think,” he said. That is why, without CoSA, or faced with a scaled-back version of the program, the community should be very concerned, Federoff said. “I think that society should look forward to more offences,” he said. “Taking away support from the highest-risk people is the most dangerous thing you can do because they are the ones most likely to reoffend.”

Pedal steel guitar at Friday music evening John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - At last Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville, Greg Kelly showed why he is an engaging singer with his performance featuring story songs that he has written, many of which now appear on one of his two CD’s. And for this performance, Greg, who accompanied himself on the guitar, was joined by guitarist Shawn Brown of Richmond whose musical

accompaniment meshed smoothly with Greg’s playing and singing. But the real star of the night, what really got people talking, was Shawn Brown’s pedal steel guitar and its haunting, melodic sounds. One of the best known and most commonly heard instruments in American country music, the pedal steel guitar has a sound like no other – a touch of Hawaiian, the traditional twang of western music, a sliding sound caused by the sliding steel or metal bar along the instrument’s strings. It’s an intoxicating sound that one hears all

too infrequently. So it was quite a music evening at the Gaia Java shop – the folk/country songs written and performed by Greg Kelly, many recounting stories about the heartbreak, triumph and love found in life, backed up by Shawn Brown’s accompaniment on the pedal steel guitar, often in harmony with Greg’s own playing and singing but at times highlighted on his own with a featured ourish here and there. On several songs, Shawn set aside his pedal steel guitar and took up a traditional guitar, playing along with

Greg as he sang another song. Greg has two CD’s to his credit, “Broken Windowsâ€? and “Slow Horsesâ€? and he has another CD in the planning stages. And what lyrics his songs have, capturing in a few words a ton of emotion – “I’ve fallen but I’m learning how to yâ€? or “It’s four in the morning, can’t ďŹ nd the sleep that I craveâ€?/ or “I’ve been waiting for your love to riseâ€?/ or “Nothing is the place where we beginâ€?/ or “It’s a rainy day in my heartâ€?. The Gaia Java shop recently had two harps playing at a Friday music evening. Now it has had a pedal steel guitar playing. So you just never know what sounds and music you will be hearing at these regular Friday music evenings. The pedal steel guitar is a type of

electric steel guitar on legs that is ďŹ tted with foot pedals which can adjust the sound of the instrument. The pedal steel guitar evolved from the console steel guitar and the lap steel guitar. Its bending chords and complex riffs have made it become one of the most recognizable instruments in country music. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop hosts music evenings every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Kristine St. Pierre, who sings ballads with a rollicking blues charm, will be performing at the music evening at the Gaia Java shop this Friday, Sept. 26. The Gaia Java shop is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Admission to these Friday music evenings is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

100th Regiment is offering youth interpreter program for youth aged 15-17 this fall Special to the News

News - The 100th Regiment Historical Society is offering a youth interpreter program for youth aged 15 to 17 this fall. In this program, a youth can portray a private, a drummer or a fifer of the 100th Regiment of Foot which is the historic British regiment from which many of the original settlers of Richmond and Goulbourn came. A replica uniform is provided and no experience is necessary. The program is open to both boys and girls. This youth interpreter program is an educational activity that will stimulate an interest in history, research, music and effective speaking while developing a sense of pride and discipline in youth. Youth are loaned a period military uniform to wear in assuming the role of a drummer, fifer or private soldier in the 100th Regiment of Foot of the British Army during the 1813 to 1815 period. The fall/winter youth program will be running from Oc-

tober to the end of April, usually taking place on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre. The spring/summer program will be running from May to September, taking place on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Locations of activities during the summer will vary, with most being held at Ottawa area museums and historic sites. The program will cover a variety of early 19th century topics such as British and Irish culture, military music, foot and arms drill and the fundamentals of being a soldier during the Napoleonic Wars. Youth will also learn about doing research, interpretation techniques and public speaking. Program participants will have the opportunity to take part in diplomatic functions, parades, heritage days and reenactments. Besides being between the ages of 15 and 17 years of age, those involved with this youth program must be physi-

cally capable of performing military foot and arms drill, should be at ease with talking to people, should enjoy public scrutiny and should have successfully completed the candidate selection process. A $40 program fee will be due upon successful completion of the candidate selection process. The original 100th Regiment of Foot, known as His Royal Highness the Prince Regent’s County of Dublin Regiment, was raised in Ireland for service in the Napoleonic Wars, The Regiment arrived in North America in late 1805 and spent the next 13 years in garrison postings from Nova Scotia to the western part of Ontario. During the War of 1812, the Regiment helped defend Canada, participating in a number of wartime actions. Information about the 100th Regiment Historical Society and its youth interpreter program can be found at the website www.100thregiment. org or by phoning 819209-0711 or by emailing join@100thregiment.org.

Horticultural Society hears about sunflowers John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Ian Frei, left, president of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, is with Dale Horeczy, right, of Kricklewood Farm which makes sunflower oil from the 15 acres of sunflowers which it grows. Mr. Horeczy was the guest speaker at the Horticultural Society’s meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 16.

News - It was sunflower time in Stittsville on Tuesday, Sept. 16. That’s because sunflowers were the topic at the September meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society at the Pretty Street Community Centre where Dale Horeczy of Kricklewood Farm between Smiths Falls and Brockville told about the sunflower growing that happens at his farm. And there’s a lot of sunflowers growing there – 27,000 of them in an acre, with 15 acres planted in total. These sunflowers, which create a spectacular yellow vista when in bloom, eventually are harvested, with their seeds being used to create cold pressed sunflower oil. Kricklewood Farm is the only farm in Eastern Ontario producing such cold pressed sunflower oil which has an appeal because of its health benefits and also because it is a local product sold through health food stores and at the Carp Farmers Market. It can be used for cooking and in place of butter on corn-on-the-cob and on popcorn. It has been quite a life journey for Dale Horeczy who worked in Montreal for 20 years before moving to Atlanta, Georgia where he not only had an expansive yard great for gardening but also learned through a community garden program there about

backyard chickens, cheese making, milking goats, and beekeeping. All of these acquired talents are now useful in the development of Kricklewood Farm. But perhaps the most important thing that Dale discovered in Atlanta was the presence of a farm which grew sunflowers for the attraction of tourists. This idea remained with him and after the current Kricklewood Farm site had been purchased when he moved back to Canada, he wondered what he would do with the acerage which was part of his new farm property. A newspaper article in 2010 led him to contact a sunflower farmer near Montreal who ended up becoming his mentor in sunflower growing, gaining insight about how to plant and harvest sunflowers. In 2012, Dale put in his first sunflower crop at Kricklewood Farm with the help of neighbours and their farm machinery. The fields bloomed, creating quite a view of sunflowers so that lots of photos were taken. “Half the fun is just enjoying the flowers over the season,” Dale told those at the Horticultural Society meeting when talking about growing sunflowers as a crop to make sunflower oil. The four to five foot tall sunflowers are harvested in October and November after they have turned brown and dried out in the field as much as possible. An acre produces

about one ton of seeds. The seeds are then cold pressed with the low temperature retaining the quality of the resulting oil. About ten gallons of oil can be produced in a day. The oil is then allowed to settle for a couple of weeks after which a quick filtration is done. There is no processing of the finished product and no chemicals are used in the whole process, ensuring a healthy product. Dale also feels that his sunflower oil has an enticing flavour which he uses as a selling feature as much as the oil’s healthy characteristics and its uses. Kricklewood Farm is also branching out into other initiatives such as a fundraising open house at the farm when the sunflowers are in bloom. In addition, groups are being invited to visit the farm to see the farm animals, learning how to milk a dairy goat and how to make goat milk soap. The farm also produces beeswax candles and has chickens and pigs as well as two cats and a dog. The next step in the farm’s development is to develop a visitor centre, processing facility and store on the farm. At present the sunflower seeds being processed into sunflower oil are done offsite. Dale admits that he has always loved sunflowers. “Somehow sunflowers just make people happy,” he said.

CSMA Academy athletes capture 33 medals Special to the News

Sports - They’re just recently back from England and the 2014 WKU/GCO World Karate Championships and already they are training for next year’s championships in Spain. They’re members of the Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy on Iber Road in Stittsville which provided 11 athletes to Team Canada for the 2014 World Karate Championships in England at the end of August.

And, boy, did these 11 athletes ever excel at these recent world karate championships. They came back with a total of 33 world medals – 8 gold, 13 silver and 12 bronze. And just who are these Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy athletes who went and conquered at the world level. Well, there’s Imran Jaffer, who runs the Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy and is himself an athlete, as evidenced by the fact that he brought home a silver medal in point sparring.

Emma Cross had a sensational competition, winning a gold medal in traditional weapons, a gold medal in musical weapons, a silver medal in weapons with no music, a silver medal in hardstyle and a bronze medal in traditional forms. Also having outstanding results in the world championships was 11 year old Vincent Meh and 8 year old Kaiser Tam. Vincent Meh won a gold medal in hardstyle forms, a gold medal in musical weapons, a silver medal in traditional forms, a

bronze medal in point sparring and a silver medal in team forms. Kaiser Tam won a gold medal in traditional forms, a gold medal in musical weapons, a gold medal in weapons with no music, a silver medal in traditional weapons, a silver medal in hardstyle forms and a silver medal in team forms. Kayla Shepherd brought home a gold medal in point sparring, a silver medal in kickboxing and a bronze medal in team fighting. Sarah Gaffney won a silver medal in point sparring, a bronze medal in kickboxing and a bronze medal in team sparring. Millan Wang won a silver medal in point sparring and a bronze medal in kickboxing. Melanie Reid captured a bronze medal in point sparring, a bronze medal in kickboxing and a bronze medal in team sparring. Bren Hunter won a bronze medal in traditional weapons and Stephen Cross won a bronze medal in traditional forms. Danny Campbell competed in the kickboxing and point sparring events at the world karate championships. It was his first world championships and he gained invaluable experience for future competitions. The Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy (CSMA) club has two studios/gymnasiums or dojo’s at its Iber Road premises. Both are captured on closed circuit TV so that parents and siblings can watch the action without having to be right in the gymnasiums. CSMA also has a fully equipped fitness gym on the premises. CSMA has been located in these premises at 59 Iber Road in Stittsville for about three years. Prior to that CSMA was located at the Kanata Recreation Centre on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. CSMA athletes train for participation in the Canadian nationals competition. A top three finish in the Canadian nationals allows an athlete to go on to compete in the world championships. Imran Jaffer, who oversees the instruction and training at CSMA, says that he wants CSMA athletes to develop a competitive edge which he says will do them well not only in their martial arts pursuits but also in school work and in the work force in the future. Success in the gym at CSMA means success elsewhere, so that if an athlete is doing well in the CSMA gym, then they are also bound to be doing well in school as well.

Stittsville Rams win home opener by 8-1 john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - The Stittsville Rams handed the Renfrew Timberwolves their first defeat of the season in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League Valley Division action at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. The Timberwolves had gone into the game with three straight victories to start the season. The Stittsville Rams, meanwhile had split their first two games of the season. But in this home opener last Sunday, the Stittsville Rams skated to an 8-1 victory over the visiting Timberwolves. Troy Hass of the Rams opened the scoring for the home team in this game, scoring a power play goal with just about four minutes gone in the game. Other goal scorers for the Rams in this game were Cole Carter and Shane Hiley with two goals each with single markers going to Neil Penner, TJ Patterson and Joey Laird. Earning assists in this game for the Rams were Cole Carter, Troy Hass and Jackson Goudie, all with two assists each, and Jake Oliver, Neil Penner, TJ Patterson, Joey Laird and Mitch Kerwin with one assist apiece. Travis Jamieson scored the only goal of the game for Renfrew, with Nych Paquette and Bailey Hein earning assists. The Rams were wearing their new red jerseys for this game to go with the name change to the Rams from the previous team name of the Royals. The game, being the season home opener for the Rams, featured a brief opening centre-ice faceoff ceremony, with Johnny Leroux, after whom the arena is named, dropping the puck between the two team captains, Nolan Rook of the visiting Renfrew Timberwolves and Jake Oliver of the hometown Stittsville Rams. Joining Johnny Leroux at the opening ceremony were city of Ottawa councillor Shad Qadri, Stittsville Minor Hockey Association president Tim Sheehan and Todd Horricks, the District Fire Chief in Stittsville. This home opener was the Rams third game of the regular season. In the two previous games, the Rams lost 5-3 to the Ottawa West Golden Knights and then defeated the Perth Blue Wings 7-1.

Four Air Cadets take to the skies News - Four Sacred Heart Catholic High School students are soaring these days. Yes, actually soaring, as all four of them are Air Cadets with three already having a glider pilot’s license with the fourth closing in on getting hers. Indeed, one, Alicia Lambert, a grade 12 student, has earned her power flight pilot’s license as well. The others are Laurier Boucher, grade 11; Tarrynne Radley, grade 12; and Katie Craig, grade 11. All of them were away this summer at flight camps, trying to earn their licenses. These six-week summertime camps are rigorous. It is not only hard to get to attend one of these summer flight camps but also is hard to succeed at them. Getting selected to attend one of these flight camps involves examinations and an interview, with only 60 from the whole region being selected in the end. And while it is difficult to get to attend one of these summer camps, it is just as hard to succeed at them. The cadets go on up to six glider flights a day but four failed flights means that the cadet is sent home. About one third of those at the camp are sent home over the course of the six weeks, says Laurier Boucher, calling the whole process from the local squadron level through to the camp as a huge elimination process. In other words, you have to be good to succeed in getting get your glider or power flight pilot’s license at these camps. Katie Craig was one of those sent home during this past summer’s camp but she has carried on with private sector gliding instruction and expects to achieve her glider pilot’s license soon. And what a thrill when you are up in the air in a glider! It is absolutely quiet up there in a glider, says Tarrynne Radley, even if there is some turbulence. All you hear is the wind against the glider’s canopy, says Alicia Lambert. You can see forever when up in a

glider, says Laurier Boucher, saying that it is calm up there in the sky even if there is air turbulence. And then there’s always the thermals, those hot air up-drafts on which a bird can soar and so can a glider, staying aloft and climbing on the power of the thermal. Indeed, Tarrynne Radley tells of catching a thermal and soaring in the sky along with a nearby hawk who also discovered the thermal up-draft. Laurier Boucher and Alicia Lambert are both involved with the 706 Snow Owl Air Cadet Squadron while Tarrynne Radley and Katie Craig belong to the 872 Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron. Laurier Boucher joined Air Cadets when he was 12 years old, the youngest age possible. Now a Flight Sergeant in his squadron, he admits to falling in love with the flying aspect of cadets. Tarrynne Radley, like Laurier, joined cadets when she was 12 years old. She has always wanted to be a pilot, noting that this had also been an unfulfilled dream of her mother’s. She is also a Flight Sergeant in her squadron. Alicia Lambert joined cadets at the age of 12, being encouraged by her father, an air traffic controller, who thought that it would be a good experience for his daughter. Now a Warrant Officer 2nd Class, Alicia discovered that she liked cadets and is thinking that the military may be her career path. Katie Craig came to cadets just slightly older than the other three, joining when she was 13 years old. Her father, a pilot, had been a cadet. She is currently a Sergeant in her squadron. And what does the future hold for these four Air Cadets? Laurier Boucher says he knows what he wants to do. He wants to attend Royal Military College and hopefully become a pilot. Tarrynne Radley has some options in her mind, either become an engineer, a pilot or go into business. She would like to attend Seneca College for a commercial pilot’s license at some point.

Alicia Lambert thinks that she initially may attend the University of Ottawa for human kinetics while remaining in cadets. But she would also like sometime to get her commercial pilot’s license

from a college. Katie Craig wants to become a pilot but she is not sure yet what career pathway she will pursue. The Air Cadet program involves more than flying. Cadets can par-

ticipate in a range of activities from weekend survival camps to band to being a member of a drill team or rifle team. There are also sports like ball hockey that are possible.

Ten years of ‘Service Above Self’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The banner, on display near the microphone at the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville’s tenth anniversary celebration, said it all: “Celebrating 10 years of delivering Service Above Self.” And that’s just what the past ten years of been – a decade of accomplishment in which a Rotary Club described at the celebration as “small but mighty,” “amazing” and a “small but BIG club” has successfully undertaken projects both in the community as well as on the international stage. And all this has been done in the spirit of the Rotary International motto of “Service Above Self.” This is what was celebrated at the Club’s tenth anniversary celebration held at the NeXT Restaurant at the corner of Hazeldean Road and West Ridge Drive in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Sept. 10. It fell to none other than city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson to point out that the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is like so many service clubs in the Ottawa community, doing so much good through their work and projects in following the Rotary motto “Service Above Self.” The mayor referred to some of the Club’s projects such as building a gazebo at the Chrysalis House women’s shelter in Kanata, supporting seed funding for a Veterinary Outreach Program to help the city’s poor with their pets, supporting the effort for a youth drug treatment centre, establishing a community library in Uganda and helping fund the new Rotary Home, adding that the list of the Club’s accomplishments and projects “goes on and on.” In presenting the Club with a certificate from the city of Ottawa marking this tenth anniversary milestone for the Club, mayor Watson called the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville an

in Stittsville and eventually enough were committed that what is now the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville was formed. The Club received its charter in 2004, making it a Centennial Club as 2004 was the 100th anniversary year for Rotary International. Mr. Qadri noted that although the Rotary Club is relatively small in membership, it has accomplished many things with projects in the community, in the broader Ottawa community and in international locations such as Uganda.

This celebration wound up with the cutting of special anniversary cakes by current Rotary Club president Rosemary Brummell and Rotary District Governor Ariane Carriere. Rotary Club member Leo Maiorino served as MC for the formal part of the 10th anniversary celebration.

Paraded into the room led by bagpiper Jordan McConnell, these five charter members are Jas Michalski, Steve Hunter, Grace Bell, Carolyn Clark and Shad Qadri, the charter president who has remained an honourary member after moving on to become Stittsville’s ward councillor on Ottawa city council. Also recognized at the celebration were two other charter members in attendance, John Thompson and Lorraine Bush who are now no longer active Club members. Brian Hartley and Russ Hicks, two Rotary Club veterans who were instrumental in helping the Stittsville club get going, were also honoured with special awards for their efforts which sowed the seed for a Rotary Club in the Stittsville community. The beginnings of the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville were related by Shad Qadri, the Club’s first president who told how it all began when Brian Hartley, a Stittsville resident and longtime Rotary Club member, approached him at his former store about the possibility of Stittsville having a Rotary Club. Shad was not familiar with Rotary at that time but Mr. Hartley engaged Russ Hicks, a member of the Rotary Club of West Ottawa, to tell Shad more about Rotary and its work. He learned that Rotary was a vehicle to serve others both within the community and outside it and that Rotarians try to live their lives based on a four-way test – is it the truth?, is it Fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? And will it be beneficial to all concerned? Others such as David Ireland, a Stittsville resident who was a Rotary Club member, became involved in this effort to establish a Rotary Club

News - The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is helping to make the new Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre a reality. This new 30-bed youth drug treatment centre will be built on a 25 acre site just off Richardson Sideroad in West Carleton. A five million dollar fundraising campaign is underway to make this happen. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville was one of the first supporters of this project when it was initially proposed five years ago, making a $30,000 pledge to the fundraising effort. At its tenth anniversary celebration in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 10, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville presented $12,000 to this Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre fundraising campaign, bringing the Club’s total contribution to this project to $21,000. Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville member Leo Maiorino, who announced the $12,000 donation, said that the Club was thrilled to be a supporter of this project and that the Club will be fulfilling its $30,000 pledge commitment to the fundraising effort. He said that the new Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre will be a facility right in Stittsville’s backyard that will provide help to youth battling drug addictions. Stephen McGill, chair of the Foundation associated with the Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre, said that this new 30-bed Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre is a vision and dream started by Ottawa area philanthropist and fundraiser Dave Smith. Currently there are a number of young people receiving treatment through the existing Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre program, turning their lives around in the process. The new 30-bed facility that will be built will allow the program to reach even more youth in crisis.

Fun Day at CIBC gives helping hand to Run for the Cure John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The upcoming CIBC Run for the Cure got a helping hand in Stittsville last Saturday. The CIBC branch on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville held a Fun Day, with a variety of activities and attractions going on in the parking lot and adjacent pedestrian area outside the branch. Happening from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., all funds raised are going to support the CIBC Run for the cure which is being held in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation in Ottawa on Sunday, Oct. 5. And what a variety of attractions and activities at this Fun Day!

And, besides characters like the Snow Queen and Anna and Star Wars personalities and face painting, what else really excites youngsters? Why, of course, a fire truck and a fire vehicle from Ottawa Fire Service station 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville was on site from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., with youngsters able to climb aboard and enjoy the feel of a fire truck, with firefighters on hand to help them out. There’s was also a chance to enjoy something to eat, with Big D’s Dog House & Poutine Emporium there, offering up its hot dogs and poutine, all available with an amazing 14 different toppings – something for everyone. The warm, breezy weather added to the enjoyment of the event which also featured music filling the air, a bake sale and a raffle with a number of great items up for grabs, all donated by local businesses.

Car, motorcycle rally on Oct. 4 to support PTSD service dogs News - It’s a car and motorcycle rally that will let you see some spectacular autumn scenery while also helping to raise public awareness and funds to help veterans impacted by their military service by providing post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) service dogs for them. It’s all happening on Saturday, Oct. 4, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. from the Royal Canadian Legion’s Dominion Command building at 86 Aird Place in Kanata. There is no pre-registration required – just show up that day at 9 a.m., pay the reasonable registration fee ($30 per person, either rider or driver, with a $40 maximum per vehicle, no matter how many are riding in the car) and you can take part. The rally goes ahead rain or shine. For more information about the rally, please look on Facebook at Rally fur Paws. Organizers, which include Bob Steadman and Christine Philipson of Stittsville, are hoping for similar numbers to those who participated in another “Rally Fur Paws” motorcycle and car rally which happened on Saturday, July 5, with the Stittsville Legion Hall as the start and finish line. That July 5th event raised over $10,300 for “Paws Fur Thought,” an organization dedicated to raising public awareness and funds related to the provision of service dogs for veterans adversely impacted by their military service. The service dogs are specially trained to assist in the safety and rehabilitation of a military veteran suffering from PTSD. Richard Leger of Stittsville, whose son Sgt. Marc Leger was killed in Afghanistan, will be among those at the starting line at the Legion’s Dominion Command headquarters. This Oct. 4th car and motorcycle rally is especially catering to families, with a scavenger hunt geared to youngsters. In addition, there will be fun games for all participants to play at each of the stops along the route of the rally. The rally will also be a poker run, just like the one in July was. And just what is the rally’s 234 kilometer route? From the Dominion Command headquarters, the route will follow highway 416 to Iroquois where the first stop will be at the Iroquois Legion. This will be a most interesting stop because of displays at the Iroquois Legion such as the bell from the Canadian ship Iroquois. From Iroquois, the route will follow old highway two along the St. Lawrence River, with spectacular views of the water and of the changing autumn foliage. This route will go through Cardinal, where there will be a free lunch provided by the Cardinal Legion, and then on to Brockville. After stopping in Brockville to enjoy more games and some relaxation, it will be off to the Westport Legion which overlooks the Rideau Lakes. It will be another spectacular view if the fall colours are in full bloom at that time. From Westport, it’s on to the Perth Legion which is the end of the rally. It is hoped that the Afghanistan Poppy Memorial, which was at the finish line at the Stittsville Legion for the July 5th rally, will be at the Perth Legion for the finish of this Oct. 4th rally. There will be a silent auction, BBQ and dance at the Perth Legion. All of the proceeds from this car and motorcycle rally will go to “Paws Fur Thought” and the work that it does regarding the provision of service dogs for military veterans. This may be the start of even more events raising awareness and funds for “Paws Fur Thought” being held throughout Ontario. Sgt. Marc Leger who was one of the Canadians to die in Afghanistan has his name engraved on the Afghanistan Poppy Memorial. This Memorial was constructed from pieces of a Badger army tank that ran over an improvised explosive device in July 2008 in Afghanistan and subsequently burned for 12 hours. Poppies taken from the last Remembrance ceremo-

ny in Kandahar in 2011 have been placed on the memorial. Each poppy represents a Canadian serviceman or woman who died in Afghanistan. It was at the last Canadian Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan on Nov. 11, 2011 that these poppies were placed on plaques by Lieutenant-General Jonathan Vance, with the then-Minister of National Defence the Hon. Peter MacKay reading off the names of the fallen who were being honoured with a plaque and poppy.

tank, with the face of the maple leaf still showing the damage from the explosion. The maple leaf sits on a wheel support and an engine hatch which has one handle still wrecked from the blast. A brass 105mm shell casing bears the names of the 161 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan. The poppies from Kandahar, now bronzed, circle the memorial. The whole memorial rests on a tank wheel. The Memorial is circular to represent how Canadian soldiers surround their nation to protect it.

The next day, this Kandahar Air Field monument began to be dismantled for its return to Canada. At that time, Lt. Gen. Vance removed all of the poppies from the monument and gave them into the care of Warrant Officer Renay Groves. It was Warrant Officer Renay Groves from 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment at Canadian Forces Base Kingston who was the one who put together a team to create this Afghanistan Poppy Memorial. The Memorial is topped by a maple leaf carved out of the back deck of the destroyed

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I’ve never used a lawyer before; what should I expect? You should expect quite a lot. A lawyer is both a professional, licensed in Ontario by the Law Society of Upper Canada, and a business person. As a professional, a lawyer has a number of duties and obligations to you. Some of those duties include:

Communication

Quality Work

Your lawyer also runs a business

Your lawyer should be knowledgeable and professional and provide a quality service. Talk to your friends, neighbors and associates about their experiences with their lawyer. Many lawyers will meet for an initial consultation at no-charge. Meet and make an assessment before you retain your lawyer.

Confidentiality and Privilege You should expect that confidential information that you disclose to your lawyer remains confidential. Almost everything that you tell your lawyer is protected by lawyer-client privilege, which means that nobody can force disclosure of the contents of any communications between you and your lawyer, subject to very limited exceptions

About Allan Snelling

R0012906266-0925

Special to the News

You should expect your lawyer to be responsive to your communications. Your lawyer should promptly return phone calls and emails, or arrange for a time to meet where appropriate.

This means that fees are charged to you cover off the costs of operating the business, paying rent and assistants and providing a fair return for the lawyer. Your lawyer should have an open and frank discussion with you regarding fees and disbursements at the time of engagement. While it is not always possible to provide certainty regarding the fees that will be charged, your lawyer should be able to provide to you an estimate or range based upon that lawyer’s experience in similar matters.

Rain plays havoc with Fair John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Traditionally rain has been associated with the Richmond Fair. This image has diminished somewhat in recent years thanks to a lot of good weather days but last Sunday wasn’t one of them. Indeed, rain played havoc with the Fair events last Sunday – some were cancelled while others were relocated. Richmond Agricultural Society general manager Dale Greene said on Monday that this year’s Fair enjoyed three great days

(Thursday, Friday and Saturday) before the “rain problems” hit on Sunday. One of the Fair’s spectacular sights and one which would have been awesome at this year’s Fair that had to be cancelled was the heavy horse show’s six-horse hitch. There were 11 six-horse teams in the barn, ready to be hitched up, but the rain washed it out. Besides the heavy horse show, other cancellations included the western horse show and the miniature horse show, both of which got going but had to be stopped due to the rain. The beef cattle show managed to get done

as did the sheep show which was held inside a barn on the fairgrounds. The Sunday morning church service was moved from the outdoor stage area to inside the arena. The youth talent show was moved from the outdoor stage to the upstairs hall at the arena where it attracted a big crowd. The Sunday afternoon entertainment in the arena, featuring the Ottawa Valley’s Gail Gavan and American country music legend Stonewall Jackson, drew a big crowd as well. See RAINY, page 40

The rainy Sunday saw the Birds of Prey show held at the outdoor stage area while the lumberjack show went ahead. Indeed, the lumberjack show was one of the highlights of this year’s fair, drawing lots of fair-goers to the antique area of the fairgrounds where the lumberjack show took place. Unlike Sunday, Fair Saturday saw lots of good weather and good crowds at the Fair. Sunny conditions broke out for the parade and stayed in place. Friday night at this year’s Fair turned out great thanks to the ever-popular demolition derby. The demolition derby drew a huge crowd who not only saw a total of 46 cars slam into each other in the ring in various classes with two heats per class but also witnessed a gas tank fire in the first heat which Ottawa Fire Service firefighters battled for a while before conquering it. The deluge of water used by the firefighters to squelch the blaze made for some muddy conditions in part of the demolition derby ring. Brett Kissel, the up-and-coming Canadian country music singer who recently captured two Canadian Country Music Awards, was a huge draw for the Saturday night dance. Demand for tickets was unceasing and Brett came through with what Society general manager Dale Greene called an “unbelievable” performance. Friday at the Fair not only saw lots of school

children visit the grounds and take in the Agriculture Awareness program but also saw many residents from seniors residences visit the Fair in groups. They enjoyed touring around the fairgrounds and even visiting the midway. In addition, they enjoyed a meal served in the Dining Hall on the grounds while listening to music provided by entertainer Paul Duplantis. At the Fair’s official opening ceremony at the Richmond arena hall on the Thursday evening, the ribbon was cut by longtime, now retired Richmond Agricultural Society treasurer Vivien Daly, assisted by Society president Gerd Lohmann and Homecraft president Denise Crawford. It was at this official opening ceremony that Richmond Scotiabank presented a donation cheque of $5,000 to the Richmond Agricultural Society, with Scotiabank manager Brenda Norwood handing over the giant cheque to Agricultural Society general manager Dale Greene, Society president Gerd Lohmann and Homecraft president Denise Crawford. A highlight of this official opening ceremony was the presentation of Agricultural Service Awards from the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies to Marion Jones and her mother Thelma Criggar for their contribution to the Fair over the years. Marion and Thelma are fixtures in the Richmond Curling Club building during Fair time, demonstrating quilting.

Cake sale raises $1,100 for Alzheimer’s Society John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Raising $1,100 for the Alzheimer’s Society was the frosting extraordinaire on the cake sale that was held at the Stittsville Villa Seniors Community in Stittsville last Friday. These funds, all of which are being donated to the Alzheimer’s Society, came from the sale of cakes and cupcakes as well as donations received at the third annual “Celebrating Memories Cake Sale for Alzheimer’s” last Friday at the Stittsville Seniors Community.

Two tables were jammed full of a variety of cakes and cupcakes for the sale, with residents, family members and members of the public all purchasing some of the goodies to help make the sale such a success. And what goodies there were for sale! There was a carrot cake with dabs of orange frosting shaped like carrots on top. There were cupcakes called tequila sunrise and green chocolate mint. There were chocolate cupcakes and chocolate almond cake. See CAKE SALE, page 43

Cake sale for Alzheimer’s Continued from page 42

There were cakes with swirled frosting, giving them a rose look. There were blueberry mufďŹ ns and cakes layered with Smarties of various colours. And more! A highlight had to be the giant offering from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville which looked like a huge cake with an expansive layer of frosting. But this frosting simply covered up the whole colony of cupcakes below which made up this sweet treat. So residents and others at the sale could buy one or more of these cupcakes if desired. And the layer of frosting featured a message about the sale which read: “Help Us Grow Our Money Tree. All Proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Society.â€? There was a money tree on the wall which acknowledged donations made by individuals to support this cake sale for Alzheimer’s. These cakes of various shapes and sizes were made by residents, family members and staff. Several who do baking for a business provided some of these baked goodies for the sale. This “Celebrating Memories Cake Sale for Alzheimer’sâ€? was

held just two days before World Alzheimer’s Day which took place last Sunday, Sept. 21. The Alzheimer Society was chosen as the recipient of the funds raised by this cake sale at the Stittsville Seniors Community because Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia touch the lives of many of those living there. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and degenerative disease that destroys brain cells. It is the most prevalent form of dementia. As Alzheimer’s disease progresses and affects different areas of the brain, symptoms become more severe. Early diagnosis of the disease does help in treating the disease. There is not yet any known cause for Alzheimer’s disease but researchers have identiďŹ ed risk factors associated with the disease. Currently researchers are trying to ďŹ nd new treatments for all forms of dementia including Alzheimer’s disease, with the ultimate goal of ďŹ nding a cure. It is estimated that between 6 and 15 percent of Canadian seniors aged 65 years and older are living with some form of dementia. This ďŹ gure is expected to double by the year 2031.

Registration is being held at Richmond Curling Club Special to the News

Sports - The Richmond Curling Club will be holding registration for the upcoming season this Friday, Sept. 26 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and this Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the curling club on Perth Street in Richmond. Those interested in curling in the coming season are urged to attend one of these registration sessions. The Richmond Curling Club is operated by its members just as it has been since it was established in 1960. The club is managed by a Board of Directors and an executive committee whose members are elected at an annual general meeting. Membership is open to everyone and is maintained by the payment of an annual membership fee. These fees are established based upon the cost of operating the club and the maintenance of a capital fund for long-term equipment replacement. In draw curling, teams are formed on a four/ five week basis from the list of members who have signed up for the draw. Teams for fixed rink competition are established at the start of the year. Teams may be entered as a complete entity or individuals may submit their names to the draw master who will match them up with other individuals looking to form a team. The club operates a fully licensed bar during legal serving hours, utilizing a team of volunteer club members for its operation. Curling came to Richmond in 1960 with the formation of the Richmond Curling Club, but it was something which happened two years earlier which made this possible. That was the construction of a new quonsettype building by the Richmond Agricultural Society in 1958 for use as a calf barn for the annual Richmond Fair. However, it had been built with the possibility in mind that the building could be used, with a few modifications, as a two-sheet curling rink and lounge during the winter months. This happened in 1960 when, after a loan from the bank, a government grant for fluorescent lighting for the building, renovations, equipment purchasing, curling stones obtained and yes, ice made, the Curling Club became a reality with curling beginning on natural ice

about the last week of December. It had been decided earlier in 1960 that the building could accommodate two sheets of ice along with a lounge area. Among those who were key in the initial formation of this Richmond Curling Club were Bruce Kinkade, Dick O’Connor, Everett Hepton and Des Stapleton. The curling stones were obtained from the Prescott Curling Club thanks to the efforts of Gordon Nichol and Pat Kennedy. After two seasons of curling on natural ice, artificial ice was installed. The club flourished through the 1960s and 1970s, but in the late 1979s, the roof of this curling rink was declared unsafe. This prompted the membership to go ahead with the construction of a new four-sheet curling rink with a two-storey clubhouse facility on Agricultural Society land just east of the first facility. Fundraising endeavours plus a Wintario grant of just over $300,000 made the new facilJOHN CURRY/METROLAND ity possible, and in May, 1980, the first curling Richmond Curling Club president Jim Klachan stands beside a sign on display in front took place in the new four-sheet facility. of the curling club facility on Perth Street in Richmond which is announcing the Club’s The Richmond Curling Club now boasts upcoming registration sessions. a full complement of men’s ladies and mixed curling activities. In addition, it has a vibrant Little Rock curling program for young beginner curlers., as well as a junior curling program. In recent years, a very active daytime seniors curling program has become popular, so that now the Curling Club bustles with activity from morning to night, with curling going on by those of all ages. The Richmond Curling Club, in recent years, has been the site of provincial and even one national curling championship events. In February, 1995, the Richmond Curling Club hosted the Ontario Provincial Farmers Curling Championship, sponsored by John Deere Limited, with 16 rinks involved from communities across the province.

‘A Few Good Men’ wanted to sing with ladies John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Wanted: A Few Good Men. No, we are not talking about the 1992 movie “A Few Good Men� which was a courtroom drama starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson and Demi Moore, among others. This film revolves around the court martial of two U.S. Marines charted with murder and the difficulties that their lawyers have in defending them. Rather, we are talking about a few good men right here in the community – a few good singing men who are willing to join with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus in singing five selections at the Ladies Chorus’ third annual community Christmas concert on Saturday, Dec. 13. These men and their tenor and bass voices are needed because in addition to singing their own Christmas repertoire, the Ladies Chorus will be singing five selections that require several tenor and bass singers to join with them as they sing the soprano and alto parts. This combined male and female choir group will be performing the following songs in the concert: Calypso Carol (with percussion), Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas, In The Bleak Midwinter (a Christmas carol based on a poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti), Still, Still, Still (a traditional German carol) and Let It Snow, Let It Snow. Men interested and familiar with singing a designated tenor or bass line are asked to email Robert Dueck, the director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, at LadiesChorus@bell.net or phone him at 613-836-1824 before Wednesday, Oct. 1. What will be involved in this commitment?

Well, men participating will receive a packaged of music in early October with the request to learn the music prior to the first scheduled rehearsal. Mp3 files have been recorded for each song and for each voice part to assist with this learning. Rehearsals will be held on Sunday afternoons for the month of November at the Empress Kanata Retirement Community. These rehearsals will be held jointly with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus since this is a regularly scheduled rehearsal day for them. The Ladies Chorus also has another regular Wednesday afternoon rehearsal session which could be another option for rehearsal time for men who may not be available on the Sundays. This opportunity to sing with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is a wonderful short-term commitment and opportunity for men who enjoy singing. Another highlight of this Christmas concert, besides the performance by this Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass mixed choir, will be performances by the Trinity Handbell Quartet and the Bella Duetto Handbell Duet. Performing under the direction of Stuart Belson of Stittsville, the Trinity Handbell Quartet will include Rachel Kuhl, Amy Sirotek, Danielle Carrier and Martin Edwards. The Bella Duetto Handbell Duet involves two high school girls, Erica Heiber and Hadiya Huiler. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus community Christmas concert this year will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and again on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 2:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

BBQ coming up at Munster United Church John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - With summer now at its end, prime BBQ season is also coming to a close. Munster United Church in Munster is holding one final BBQ on Saturday, Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be held in conjunction with a bake sale that will start at 9 a.m. and then run through to 1 p.m. This event allows you not only to savour a season-ending BBQ with someone else doing all of the work cooking over a hot BBQ but also gives you the opportunity to pick up some delicious baked goodies, again with someone else having done the baking. Everyone is welcome to attend this bake sale and BBQ at Munster United Church on Saturday, Oct. 4. Munster United Church is located on Munster Road in the heart of Munster. The current Munster United Church building goes back to 1895 but its heritage can be traced back to the very beginnings of Methodism in the Goulbourn township area in 1823. It was back in 1823 when Ezra Healey was the Methodist preacher who visited the Goulbourn area. The start of the Munster congregation can be traced to this. A first log church for the Munster area was built on property provided by John and Ann Shillington on what is now Copeland

Road east of Munster Road. The pioneer Shillington cemetery can still be found along this stretch of Copeland Road. It was in 1849 that John and Ann Shillington deeded property to the trustees of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada. The local trustees, all residents of Goulbourn township, were Andrew Trimble, Sr., James Shillington, Hugh Ross, Thomas Brownlee, James Henderson, William Haskin and Joseph Anderson. The Wallings map of 1863 showing Carleton County shows this Methodist church built beside the cemetery. However, the 1879 Belden’s Atlas for Carleton County shows only the cemetery and not the church. The 1863 Wallings map also shows a road leading from what is now Franktown Road through the east and west parts of lot 14 and then angling across the high half of lot 13 and the east half of lot 12 of the fifth concession to link up with the fifth line (Copeland Road) at the church and cemetery. It is known that in 1839, Rev. William Bell preached in this Shillington church with at least 80 in attendance. It is also known that on July 12, 1868, members of the Stapledon Loyal Orange Lodge No. 471 walked from the Orange Hall at Stapledon to this fifth line (Shillington) church.

As far as the Shillington cemetery goes, the earliest burial there recorded on a gravestone is the death of Jane, wife of Henry Hare in April 1827 at the age of 42. The last burial there is that of Elizabeth, second wife of William Sample, who died on Sept. 14, 1906, at the age of 72. It is believed that following establishment of the Munster cemetery in 1886, this old Shillington cemetery was eventually unused and was abandoned. In the 1960’s, Goulbourn township was approached to have the cemetery restored. Action was taken to clean up the cemetery area, re-setting the stones, with some being placed in concrete walls. This work was completed in 1968. Belden’s Atlas of 1879 shows a Methodist church at the corner of lot 6, concession 5 of Goulbourn which is in the heart of Munster. It is known that land was purchased to build a church in Munster in 1877 and that a new Methodist brick church was built, costing over $3,000 and completed by 1879. It was this brick church that burned to the ground after its woodwork caught fire from the church stove before a choir practice in January 1894. The loss was pegged at $3,500, with no insurance. But the current Munster United Church was built on the site, opening in January 1895.

Focus on pets on Oct. 4 At Richmond Legion Special to the News

Special to the News

News - Saturday, Oct. 4 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. And so it is only fitting that pets should have a special focus on that day, at least at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. To mark this special feast day, St. John’s is hosting a grief workshop on the topic of pet loss. This grief workshop will happen between 10 a.m. and 12 noon, facilitated by Ian Henderson who is well known for helping people deal with grief. This grief workshop will take place in the church hall at St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond with a suggested donation of $10 for those who attend. To register for this grief work-

One legendary story has that he preached to the birds who had surrounded him, with not one flying away. Indeed, St. Francis of Assisi is often portrayed in art as having a bird in his hand. There is also another well known story about St. Francis of Assisi intervening when a town was being terrified by a wolf. St. Francis of Assisi apparently confronted the wolf and ended up arranging things so that the townspeople would feed the wolf who in turn would not prey upon the townspeople or their animals. It is interesting to note that the current pope, when he was chosen in 2013, selected the name Francis as his papal name in honour of St. Francis of Assisi.

shop on pet loss, please phone Rev. Michel Dubord at 613-838-6075 or email him at info@saintjohnsrichmond.ca. But this is not all that will be happening at St. John’s Anglican Church on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi on Saturday, Oct. 4. There will also be a blessing of pets held between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Anyone can bring a pet to this blessing of pets which will take place at the St. John’s Children’s Garden on Fowler Street. Besides being the patron saint of animals, St. Francis of Assisi was declared as the patron saint of ecology by Pope John Paul II in November 1979. There are many stories about St. Francis of Assisi and his great love for animals and the environment.

New fright festival at Saunders Farm this fall Special to the News

Yes, that’s right – Saunders Farm at Munster, which is known for its eerie-sistible family fall attractions, is replacing its longstanding Haunting Season at Night with Fright Fest, a new fright festival that features five fright sites (haunts), a new tavern, live shows, street theatre and more. In addition, during the daytime, Saunders Farm is offering new shows and great fall family fun attractions like the cemetery stroll graveyard. A key new attraction for Fright Fest is The Shambles, a night time only extreme haunt set in an overgrown maze with the fright experience stretching through three 40 foot long shipping containers. The daytime cemetery stroll graveyard will become the graveyard scare zone by night. But some of the longstanding spook-tacular haunts will still be in place as well, such as the haunted hayrides and the Barn of Terror. The new Tipsy Tombstone Tavern will be featuring local beer, wine and other spirits as well as delicious snack foods. Kitchesippi Brewery and Harvey and Vern’s Soda are involved with the tavern. At Saunders Farm, you will also be able to enjoy expanded food offerings. There’s even a new Pogos and Poutine booth.

Fair parade features three highland pipe bands John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The sound of bagpipes flowed from the Richmond Fair parade last Saturday. That’s because three highland pipe bands marched in the parade, spreading the sound of their bagpipes and drums all along the parade route which was lined with onlookers. The red suited 78th Fraser Highlanders pipe and drum band, one of the participating bands, even gave a mini-concert as it stood still, waiting to move on, in front of the Fair’s main gate beside the Richmond arena.

But, as with every Richmond Fair parade, this year’s parade offered a wide selection of floats, antique tractors and vintage vehicles and fire vehicles. It took the parade 33 minutes to pass by the corner of Perth and McBean Streets at Memorial Park, so you know that there were lots of floats and parade entries. The parade started under cloudy skies which soon became mainly sunny, with warm temperatures, albeit with something of a breeze. But these weather conditions made for great parade watching and that’s just what happened. The Royal Canadian Legion colour party led the parade again this year, drawing applause at

Another of the highlights in this year’s Richmond Fair parade was several entries from the Shriners. The Tunis Temple Shriners had its air force out, with six planes buzzing along the parade route. The Brockville Shrine Club had its hillbilly garden tractor display, complete with one lgarden tractor carrying an outhouse around. And then there were the Shriners’ mini-bikes which performed maneuvers along the parade route. But this was not all. There was also the Shriners Keystone Kops paddy wagon. All in all, the Shriners presence added a lot of entertainment and fun to the parade.

Following a stream of dignitaries and politicians including Richmond Agricultural Society president Gerd Lohmann and Homecraft president Denise Crawford as well as Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, and city of Ottawa municipal candidates Scott Moffatt, Dan Scharf and Mike Maguire, the floats then just started to move along the parade route. These included a Chartwell Retirement Residence bus, the Goulbourn Skating Club float, the Richmond Nursery float, and a horse and wagon carrying Goulbourn Township Historical Society members with members of the new 100th Regiment of Foot re-enactment group marching beside it. Other floats/entries in the parade included the Fallowfield Tree Farm tree spade; a giant agricultural fertilizer machine from SynAgri, an antique tractor being carried on a truck representing Brophy Financial Planning; the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association float; a couple of antique vehicles; decorated bicycles and a truck with Richmond’s fox mascot riding on it, all representing the Richmond Village Association; Chuck Crickett’s antique vehicle; the Car-O-Practor entry which includes a car, a truck, a go-kart car, a garden tractor and a van; the Southpaw Property Maintenance Ltd. entry including a tractor and an ATV; the Rich-

She is elegant, lovable, gentle and gets along with cats... she would love to have a friend to pass the days and have a chat. First few minutes she will look aloof but once you lift her into your arms and she realizes you love her she will relax and start purring. A definite winner in the affection department. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity. R0012906917

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - It never failed. Every Tuesday morning, Mother lamented all through breakfast about the job ahead. The washing had been done the day before: on Monday. It mattered not if it had hailed, snowed, rained, or the wind blew at a gale force, Monday was wash day, and that’s all there was to it. And that made Tuesday the day to do the ironing, and it was the one household chore Mother hated with a passion. It had little to do with the job itself, it had everything to do with the irons she had to use. These were clunky, heavy lumps of iron, oval shaped, and to use them there was a clamped handle that fitted over the base, and the clamp, when released hugged the iron, making it secure and ready to use. The handle had to be separate, because there were always at least three bases sitting on the stove getting hot. On Monday night, the iron bases were put right on the front burner of the Findlay Oval, so that they could absorb as much heat off the stove as possible, ready for the morning ironing. Mother had seen the latest in irons through the kitchen door at a neighbour’s house on the next line, but had no intention of ever getting something she was sure could blow up the old

Tuesday was the day for ironing

Ice Skating: A workout for all ages Ice skating is a fun and active activity that provides exceptional cardiovascular health beneďŹ ts. Just like soccer or swimming, ice skating can offer a great workout and the opportunity to advance and specialize in different types of skating! Look no further than the City of Ottawa Recreational Skating School to learn how to skate, or to specialize in areas such as ďŹ gure skating or speed skating. Courses are offered at various times, every day of the week for ages two years and up.

If private lessons are more your style, these can be arranged too!

It was an iron with a container attached Call 613-580-2596 for more information or to register. to it, which held gas, and that heated the iron. No siree, Mother wasn’t going to take a chance on one of those new-fangled contraptions. As much as she hated the irons she used on the farm, at least they were safe. She had enough to worry about with the coal oil lamps, which she always treated with great respect. The clothes would have been taken off the line late day on Monday, and neatly folded in at least two hampers. Washing for seven people meant there would always be plenty of laundry. And of course, the clothes had to be folded and piled in order. Heaven forbid that the sparkling white tea towels should ever come in contact with something of a darker colour. Not because the colours would run, but simply because that’s the way it was done back then. Like colours together, and the whites separate from everything else. Mother would have the kitchen ready for the ironing before we headed out for school. Two straight-backed chairs would hold what passed for an ironing board. See MARY COOK, page 76

All participants must wear CSA approved hockey helmets.

Want to practice your skating? Use our convenient public skating search tool found online at ottawa.ca to ďŹ nd the many public skating locations and times in your area. Skater safety is a top priority at the City of Ottawa and safety starts with a properly ďŹ tted helmet. Children aged ten and under, as well as skaters of all ages at a beginner skill level, are required to wear a Canadian Standards Association (CSA) approved helmet while attending City of Ottawa indoor public skate sessions. Some tips for choosing a helmet: s "UY A HELMET THAT lTS NOW NOT ONE TO GROW INTO s .EVER BUY A USED HELMET s -AKE SURE YOUR HELMET HAS BEEN TESTED FOR SAFETY (Helmet will have a CSA sticker on the outside) To learn more about our helmet safety requirements, visit ottawa.ca or call the public skating information line at 613-580-2666. Remember to skate smart – all skaters, regardless of age and skill levels, are encouraged to wear a CSA approved helmet while skating.

Skating is a great way to be active and enjoy winter!

Ingredients * 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter * 1.5 l (6 cups) sliced peeled apples (such as spy, golden delicious, jonagold) * 250 ml (1 cup) packed brown sugar * 5 ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) ground nutmeg * 500 ml (2 cups) water * 25 ml (2 tbsp) corn-

Throughout history countless urban landscapes have been altered by fire. Unfortunately the City of Ottawa has seen the red heat of flame destroy individual homes, businesses, as well as complete neighbourhoods. The residents of Lebreton Flats, a once thriving working class community, saw their community razed to the ground on April 26, 1900. A common chimney fire in Hull was to blame for the fire that quickly turned into the most infamous fire in the history of Ottawa and Hull. This is one of the many events in the City’s rich, but sometimes sombre history that a visitor can learn about while touring the ‘Ashes’ exhibit located in Gallery 112 at the City of Ottawa Archives. ‘Ashes’ presents the history of Ottawa fires beginning with the first written account by Colonel John By. Colonel By’s progress report is dated October 26, 1827 where 127 pounds, 15 shillings is paid to extinguish a “fire in the woods in the immediate vicinity of the Public Buildings & Storehouses”, possibly as a result of a settler clearing land. ‘Ashes’ not only highlights the blazes that took place but also portrays those that risk their lives to save citizens and neighbourhoods. As the events of fire occurred, the City’s earliest volunteer firefighters had to develop new strategies and learn to use new equipment for fighting fires that threatened their local community. It was not until 1874 that Ottawa’s volunteer fire brigades were disbanded and replaced with 16 paid full-time staff. Today, Ottawa Fire Services has 45 stations located throughout the City of Ottawa and a staff that combines both career and volunteer firefighters. Working in partnership with Ottawa Fire Services, Bytown Fire Brigade and Algonquin College – Applied Museum Studies Program, the City of Ottawa Archives presents Ashes: A City Shaped By Fire at Gallery 112, filled with artifacts and narratives that chronicles Ottawa’s dynamic history shaped by fire. The City of Ottawa Archives is located at the James Bartleman Centre, 100 Tallwood Drive. 2014-09-8059-24683 R0012908239-0925

Preparation In a large nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples and toss to coat. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg, and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small bowl, whisk the water with the cornstarch, and stir it into apple mixture. Cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally, or until thickened and the apples are tender. Spoon about 175 ml (3/4 cup) of sauce over each serving of ice cream, and sprinkle with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of nuts.

Mary Cook: Tuesday was ironing day at our house Continued from page 73

It was nothing fancy like the ones you could buy at Scott’s hardware -- ones that sprung up and locked in place. No this ironing board was a smoothed off piece of lumber, wrapped in many layers of well-used flannelette sheets, and topped with one or two opened-up white flour bags, well bleached beforehand of course. It was set on the backs of the two kitchen chairs,

and then everything was ready for what would take the better part of Mother’s Tuesday. Of course, much of the laundry had to be dampened. So Mother brought a small basin of water to the ironing board, and dipping her hand into the water, she sprinkled each piece royally and then rolled it into a tight sausage shape. These were the pieces of clothing that had to have the wrinkles ironed out, and there they sat like little logs until ready to be ironed.

OPEN HOUSE &

COMMUNITY BBQ

29/09/2014 5P.M. TO 7 P.M. 2 MACNEIL CRT., OTTAWA

These damped pieces would be hankies, the dress shirts Father and the brothers wore to church, the little Peter Pan collars that adorned so many of our dresses in those Depression years, bringing a bit of relief to our very plain wardrobe, and the hand-embroidered pillow cases. Even the hems of the flour-bag sheets would be ironed. When we went off to school, Mother would already be bent over the ironing board. At one end of the board was a saucer, where Mother kept a block of wax, and occasionally I would see her pass the hot iron over this wax. But I never knew the purpose of the exercise. All I knew was it was a part of that Tuesday’s ritual. When we came home from school on ironing day, you could still smell the sweet scent of freshly ironed clothes. The board would be gone from the backs of the two chairs, and tucked behind the door out in the summer kitchen, where

it would stay until the next Tuesday. On the bake table, would be the neat stack of freshly ironed tea towels, the boys and Father’s shirts neatly folded, the pillow slips, and anything else that needed to have one of those heavy irons passed over it. And hanging on the back of the kitchen door would be spanking clean aprons at the ready. The iron bases would be sitting on tin pie plates cooling off so that they could be put away until needed again. Mother would be dead tired that night, having stood most of the day over the ironing board. My sister Audrey would be given the job of putting all the clothes away, and when I helped her, I couldn’t resist pressing my nose against the clean pillow slips, capturing that fresh smell of the outdoors. And I would wonder, but never dare to ask, why we didn’t change our bedding on Tuesdays instead of on Saturdays, by which time that wonderful scent of freshly ironed linens would be gone.
