News - The existing natural gas pipeline which runs through Goulbourn just west of Stittsville is part of the proposed Energy East Pipeline proposal being made by TransCanada, the Canadian energy transportation company. And you will be able to find out more about this Energy East Pipeline proposal when TransCanada holds a public open house on Thursday, Oct. 10 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. This is one of a series of such public open houses which TransCanada is holding all along the proposed route of the pipeline as part of its consultation process prior to filing its applications for the project to the National Energy Board, the federal agency that regulates interprovincial pipelines such as this one will be. The proposed Energy East Pipeline is a 4500 kilometer long pipeline that will, if and when built and operational, will be capable of transporting 1.1 million barrels of crude oil a day from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Eastern Canada, namely in both Quebec and New Brunswick.

Pipeline to run through Goulbourn Part of the project involves converting one pipe of the existing dualpipe natural gas pipeline to an oil transportation pipeline. The project also involves construction of lengths of new pipeline as well. According to the TransCanada website, this Energy East Pipeline will provide refineries in Quebec and the Atlantic provinces with access to reliable low cost Canadian crude oil, leading to long term economic ben-
efits. Currently these refineries get most of their crude oil from foreign sources, paying a higher cost. TransCanada claims that the project will result in the creation of thousands of jobs. TransCanada hopes to file its regulatory applications to the National Energy Board in 2014, with a hoped for regulatory approval received in late 2015. This would lead to the commissioning of the pipeline from Alberta

and Saskatchewan to Montreal and Quebec City in 2017 and then the pipeline’s extension to St. John in 2018. The pipeline carrying this crude oil from the west will be 1067 millimeters in diameter, the same size as the existing natural gas pipeline. The pipeline would be able to move conventional crude oil, diluted bitumen and synthetic crude oil. The pipeline, according to TransCanada’s website, will have a control
stop this pipeline project. Speaking about pipelines which will move tar sands oil to expert locations, the website states: “These pipelines will encourage the unsustainable expansion of the tar sands, cause massive environmental damage along their routes, and increase tanker traffic and the risk of oil spills in ecologically sensitive coastal waters.” The Council of Canadians website points to the experience of Kalamazoo and Mayflower pipeline spills as being “poignant warnings of the consequences of shopping tar sands crude through old pipelines.”

system that will continuously monitor the pipeline’s line pressure as well as its valves, temperatures and flows. It will be monitored 24 hours a day and will have shut off valves that can be automatically closed if the pressure in the pipeline drops. Opposing this proposal by TransCanada is the Council of Canadians, a non-partisan citizens interest group that is a registered non-profit organization that generally advocates for issues such as clean water, fair trade, green energy, public health care and democracy.

performing at Legion Hall But there’s more – “Cherry, Cherry,” “Kentucky Woman,” “Sweet Caroline,” “Holly Holy,” “Solitary Man,” “Forever in Blue Jeans,” and “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show.” Recently Neil Diamond has revealed that he wrote “Sweet Caroline” back in 1969 for Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late president John F. Kennedy, after seeing her photograph on the cover of “Life” magazine. It apparently took him just one hour in a Memphis hotel room to write and compose the song. Neil Diamond, who was born in 1941 in Brooklyn, New Year, has seen his career span from the 1960’s to the present. He has sold over 125 million records worldwide. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984. Indeed, his songwriting has been prolific. In the 1960’s, he wrote “I’m a Believer,” recorded by The Monkees and named the Popular Music Song of the Year for 1966. Neil Diamond was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2011. This was the same year that he was an honoree at the Kennedy Centre Honors. In 2012, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Neil Diamond continues to be a big draw on the concert circuit. He has sung the national anthem at the Super Bowl and has even sung his hits “America” and “Sweet Caroline” while riding on a float in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. He continues to tour and also to record. And while Stittsville is not on his personal touring schedule, entertainer Joey Purpura will
be delivering Neil Diamond hits in a Neil Diamond-style in his Neil Diamond Tribute Show at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Saturday, Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available now at $20 per person at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street.

News - We are not spinning you a yarn when we say that the Goulbourn Museum is where fans of fibre can do their thing. On the third Sunday of every month, from September through May, the Goulbourn Museum hosts a free casual drop-in knitting circle that is open to anyone interested. You don’t have to be a skilled knitter to attend; everyone is welcome. This means that children and grandchildren are also welcome where they can learn about the skill of knitting. These free Sunday afternoon drop-in knitting sessions are called “Yap & Yarn,” which may give you some idea that while the hands are busy knitting, the voice can be busy as well, chatting away.
These “Yap & Yarn” sessions are held on the third Sunday of every month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Upcoming sessions in 2013 will be held on Sunday, Oct. 20, Sunday, Nov. 17 and Sunday, Dec. 15. There is no registration required to attend a “Yap & Yarn” session; just drop in to the Goulbourn Museum between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. and starting knitting and chatting. Light refreshments are always served – an added plus. For more information about these “Yap & Yarn” sessions, please call the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or email education@ goulbournmuseum.ca. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville.

Kids Have Stress Too We think of children as carefree and happy. Sometimes as parents, we forget that our children can suffer from stress too. They may be going to a new school or daycare, getting used to a new routine or they may be watching the news of the recent tragedy in the city and hearing stories about it at school. All of these can make children feel anxious or stressed. It is important to remember that children look to parents to make them feel safe.
How can you help your children deal with stress? • Give them your full attention and listen so you can hear what they have to say. • Empathize with them and help them label their feelings, for example “that must have made you sad”. • Turn off the screens to talk instead. • Talk to them in a calm, soothing voice.
What are some of the ways that children show stress? • Physical signs of stress can include headaches, stomach-aches, changes in appetite, difficulty sleeping and nightmares. • Emotional signs of stress can appear as anger, sadness, crankiness or whining. • Some children withdraw from their usual activities or have poor concentration.
• Show interest in what is bothering them no matter how minor it may seem. • Have young children draw a picture of their feelings. • Spend quiet time together reading, making a craft, or doing a puzzle. Children will often talk about a problem when given the chance. • Have dinner together as a family. • Give them a hug.

United Way needs clear goals
T
he United Way Ottawa announced a $21million community campaign goal on Sept. 24, a significant drop from last year’s target of $30 million. Simple subtraction tells us the organization is looking to raise $9 million less than the 2012-13 fundraising year. The decrease seems to follow a disturbing trend over the past two years. In 2011, the organization announced a $33 million goal, but fell short by $1 million; the following year the target was set at $30 million. On the face of it, the numbers seem to indicate the charity will have fewer dollars to support local charities. But numbers can be deceiving, according to the charity’s executive director Michael Allen during last week’s breakfast launch at the Ernest and Young Centre. Allen explains the $9 million drop in this year’s campaign target as not less, just different. We scratched our collective heads over that reasoning. Unfortunately, the campaign offers a confusing chain of logic to explain how much money it needs to raise and how it uses the money, turning the process into a benign form of a classic shell game. Yes, the charity is looking to raise fewer dollars
– but this year’s target only includes donations to local United Way programs. Donors will still be able to donate money to other charities, said Allen, but that money is considered separate – beyond the $21 million campaign goal. Three years ago, the United Way Ottawa changed the way it allocated funds collected during the campaign, creating priorities and criteria to appeal to donors. In fact, the organization is actually looking to increase the amount of money it allocates to its community partners based on last year’s total of roughly $16 million. But the problem is the United Way is doing a poor job of communicating how it defines its needs and the way it uses campaign dollars. Confusing potential donors could ultimately translate into fewer donations. The United Way Ottawa spends too much time telling us how much the charity wants to help people, as opposed to defining those needs and presenting a simple-to-understand battle plan. When a charity announces a drop in its fundraising target, it only makes sense to offer a straightforward explanation for the decrease. With so many charities out there competing for limited donations, it only makes sense to put together a good sales pitch.

n the fall fair season we get a chance to see things from a different perspective. That can be simple as noticing the houses in a small town as you cruise the small-town streets looking for a place to park, or it can be as profound as witnessing significant instances of behaviour modification. For example: standing in the mud in front of the merry-go-round at the Richmond Fair and waiting for grandchildren to revolve past me, I notice something odd about the 20 or so adults on the contraption. None of them is checking a phone. You have to admit that’s pretty remarkable. When was the last time you looked at 20 adults and none was checking a phone? 1997? Or maybe in church, although even that is by no means certain. People will check their phones any time, any place. It’s not just that someone may be phoning them. It’s also that the phone has a weather update, a hockey score, a favourite song, a movie review, a Sudoku, a text – each of which could be more interesting than what’s going on right here, right now. They are called smart phones, although the adjective does not automatically apply to their owners. Knowing the power of the smart phone,

People walk by talking with each other, looking around, seemingly aware of their surroundings. It is quite refreshing. The question is why. We are people, remember, who value our communications devices so much that we now must carry a bagful of wires, in case our phones need charging, or our iPads or BlackBerrys or iPods.

the fair? The answer has to be that they are afraid they will miss something if they do. There are all the rides, including that whirly one you’d have to pay me big money to go on. There are the animals, or that puppet show over there. There are all the booths – the embroidery, the hats, the candy, the fresh donuts. Fire trucks! Cotton candy! Politicians! If you’re looking at your phone you will walk right by, not noticing. This is an important way the country fair differs from ordinary life. The country fair has variety, things you don’t expect, things more interesting than what’s on your phone. If you look down you might miss something. For one thing, you might miss an expression on a child’s face. The challenge now is to apply the products of this important new research. The goal is obvious: to make city life more like a country fair so that people won’t be checking their phones all the time. But the means aren’t obvious. We can’t have heavy horses all over the downtown. Ferris wheels won’t fit in most urban spaces. And for all we know there are probably zoning bylaws against cotton candy in certain neighbourhoods.
Still, it would be nice if city life contained a few more pleasant surprises than it does now, even if it meant more mud on the streets. If you look at the truly interesting city neighbourhoods in the world, you’ll notice that they contain stores that you didn’t expect, stores that specialize in odd things, like clothing for pets or books about sports or country music on vinyl. You’ll find dead-end streets and little squares with little parks, tiny churches. You might not find banks or giant drugstores or chain coffee shops where people are busy looking at their phones.

Poole Creek cleanup John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - A section of Poole Creek in Stittsville got a facelift last Friday and Saturday thanks to the initiative of Sacred Heart High School student Eva von Jagow of Stittsville. It was part of the 2013 Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup which has become a national event which now, thanks to Eva von Jagow, involves Stittsville. Eva says that for the past few years, she has wanted to volunteer in a Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup event but there was never one organized in Stittsville. So, this year, she took the bull by the horns, as it were, and organized one. She had originally scheduled it for Saturday morning, Sept. 28 but another commitment on the Saturday forced her to divide this Poole Creek shoreline cleanup into two days
– Friday and Saturday. A handful of volunteers helped out on each day, so that the stretch of Poole Creek, including both sides, from Jonathan Pack Street in the west down along the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena to Stittsville Main Street and then east of Stittsville Main Street all the way to the bridge over Poole Creek leading to Beechfern Drive, was able to be cleaned up. Although Eva was not expecting to find a lot of garbage along the creek because it appears to be relatively clean, this was not the case. About five garbage bags full of garbage were collected. This included about 200 cigarette butts, 75 plastic bottles, 50 cans, plastic bags, a lot of styrofoam and other waste. Eva says that this Poole Creek shoreline cleanup turned out to be a great experience and very rewarding, especially thanks to the beautiful fall
weather that prevailed on both days. She says that she is looking forward to organizing another Poole Creek shoreline cleanup again, probably in the spring. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a conservation initiative of the Vancouver Aquarium and the World Wildlife Fund – Canada. Its goal is to encourage people across Canada to remove shoreline litter to help create healthy waters for everyone including the wildlife that de-
pends on them. The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is one of the largest direct action conservation programs in Canada. It is part of the International Coastal Cleanup which is a volunteer effort focused on the health of oceans. It encourages people to remove trash and debris from ocean beaches. In 2011, the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup happened in 1,665 sites, cleaning up a total of 3,144 kilometers of shoreline.
This Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup initiative had its roots in an effort in 1994 by a group of employees and volunteers at the Vancouver Aquarium to cleanup the shoreline of Vancouver. By 1997, the initiative had spread to 20 sites in British Columbia. In 2001, the project expanded into Alberta, becoming known as the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup. By 2003, cleanups were happening in every province and territory in Canada.

DYING FOR DIGNITY
Connected to your community
Beyond the bedside Local end-of-life experts help launch the province’s first integrated palliative program – and build a case for better funding
and creating a standardized approach for how care is delivered will go a long way, Abedi said. Part of the challenge is bringing the entire range of palliative-care providers into the fold and adopting a common mindset. Instead of reactive, symptom-focused care delivered by several different providers who don’t necessarily communicate with each other, the regional program looks to bring all providers on board with a more holistic approach. Providing continuity of care throughout the course of a patient’s illness is the goal. But achieving it means unraveling a complex web of family physicians, emergency-room doctors, oncologists, homecare providers, day hospice programs and more. Something as straightforward as creating an electronic record of treatments that’s shared amongst a patient’s entire health-care team is a nut that can take months to crack, Abedi said. Step one was creating a clearing house for processing applications for palliative care. There are now two nurses working out of Bruyère Continuing Care who use their expertise in palliative care to assess a standard intake form and place patients on a waiting list for the type of care that best suits their needs. That’s one major step towards a truly integrated system, said Lynn Kachuik, an Ottawa Hospital nurse who is an expert in palliative care and sits on the regional program’s council. “By going to the (centralized) system we are able to simplify the access … So they’ve got the data they need to make a decision based on what the needs of the patient are,” she said. “We’ve been much more efficient in using the beds effectively.”
METROLAND EAST SPECIAL REPORT
T
here’s an elephant in the room and it’s crowding Ottawa’s hospitals. Too many people are dying in hospital because they haven’t had honest discussions about death, according to palliative care doctor José Pereira. These conversations – a patient’s preferred place to die, the level of treatment and their concept of comfort – must start long before a person is weeks away from death, he said. “If we only think about palliative care from the last days or weeks of life, many people are going to suffer unnecessarily for the time they have left,” he said. For one Ottawa woman, who Pereira didn’t name for privacy reasons, this lack of planning led to confusion for both her and her family. Just a few months before she died her doctors at Bruyère Continuing Care still didn’t consider the woman a palliative patient. As her health failed, she was receiving treatments she likely didn’t need any more. “This was a lady who had been struggling with end-stage heart disease, very, very advanced heart disease for many years. And suddenly in the last few months (she was) admitted to a hospital, and put on all sorts of treatments,” Pereira said. She started a regime of antibiotics, and was put on dialysis for kidney failure. She began to question the benefit of being hooked up to machines this late in her illness, Pereira said. “She was saying, ‘I know I’m dying ... my goal is to be as comfortable as possible.’” A quick look at her chart was telling: scrawled in a colleague’s note, the words “the patient is not yet palliative.” COHESIVE CARE
Pereira’s colleague wasn’t being oblivious; there are hundreds of health-care professionals across the city and province who share the same view that palliative care is only relevant in the last few weeks of life. “Health professionals in general haven’t received much education in this area,” said Pereira, a doctor at Bruyère Continuing Care and the Ottawa Hospital. “We get trained in our different specialties but we haven’t in the past done a good job of training new doc-

Célestin Abedi heads the new Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, the first of its kind in Ontario that wants to get all health professionals on the same page when it comes to end of life care. It’s an initiative that aspires to change the way palliative care is delivered – and how it’s funded.
10 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, October 3, 2013
“The issue is not only beds,” Abedi said. “It’s how we can create a more seamless transition for clients from one service provider to another,” Ottawa has a “strategic advantage” in the palliative care field, Abedi said. Some of the national leaders in the field call Ottawa home and the city also benefits from having the Bruyère community, the largest palliative care provider and research body in Canada. Despite a wealth of expertise and resources, access to palliative and
hospice care delivery in Ottawa has been disjointed. “There were a lot of initiatives that different local communities were working on but there wasn’t any kind of connection with what they were doing and what the hospital is doing,” Abedi said. Part of the regional network’s goal is to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of their life. “(This) is a paradigm shift. The current system – it was somewhat very fragmented and key players were left out,” Abedi said. “What we’ve done (is) to bring everybody together to have a common vision of what should be the right palliative care for the population. “And from there, we’ve made tremendous progress.” It sounds simple, but identifying common, validated tools and training
MAKING THE BEDS
Centralizing the hospice and palliative care system on a larger scale is another goal for regional network. By October, Ottawa will have 19 residential hospice beds run by one umbrella group called Hospice Care Ottawa. The organization is a merger of the Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court, which were operating separately until a year ago. The two groups amalgamated to integrate funding and services for the city. Merging Maycourt and the Friends of Hospice was not a painless process, Abedi said, but now the city has one entity that can look at the needs of the entire city. “We cannot allow ourselves to have so many players who are not connected whatsoever,” Abedi said. “We cannot sustain that.” Aligning service providers means existing funding can be used better, said Pereira.

“Sometimes it’s not just about more funding, sometimes it’s about allocating the money we have more appropriately,” Pereira said. “I really think what this project (the hospice merger) shows is that when you bring all the stakeholders together you can reallocate the existing funding in a much better way.” Pereira has witnessed the positive effects of this approach through his work at a residential hospice in Edmonton in 1995. “The research shows that if we do it properly, people have less depression, less anxiety and may in fact even live longer,” he said. Ottawa’s hospice still has a long way to go, said Lisa Sullivan, executive director of Hospice Care Ottawa. “In terms of the size of Ottawa, we know it could benefit with a lot more beds,” Sullivan said. A study from Bruyère Continuing Care in Ottawa suggested the city needs somewhere between 70 to 80 beds for a population of one million, but the regional program has set a

goal of 40 beds. Currently, the city has nine hospice beds available at May Court and eight beds at the Embassy West Senior Living on Carling Avenue. Two more beds will be added by October. By 2016, the organization plans to build a 10-bed residential hospice in Kanata, followed by 10 beds in the east end and then 10 more beds in the south end, Sullivan said. But the focus on beds isn’t necessarily the most pressing issue, Sullivan said. There is an overwhelm-

In Ottawa, the biggest player in residential hospice care needs $1.6 million a year just to keep the lights on. “We need to raise $1.6 million just to operate. No extra bells and whistles,” said Sullivan. “That is our biggest need.” Under the current provincial formula, most residential hospices receive around $246 per bed per day though the Champlain Local Health Integration Network. That covers roughly 40 per cent of their operating budgets. “That money comes with a lot of strings,” Abedi said. It can be used only to cover for nursing staff and personal support workers. Rick Firth, executive director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario, would like to see that number grow to 80 per cent, but recognizes that funding residential hospice beds is a relatively new practice in Ontario. “It’s easy to say they’re not funding 100 per cent, but you look at 2002 with zero dollars to hospice and then in 2006 there was about $24 million allocated,” Firth said. “And it continues to grow.” Recognizing that a hospice bed costs $439 a day compared to $850
a day for an acute care bed in a hospital, many palliative care experts argue the province’s money would be more effectively spent on hospice beds to free up hospital beds. In Ottawa, Abedi’s ultimate goal is to convince the LHIN to reverse the funding balance and pay for 60 to 80 per cent of the cost of hospice care. “We are working to collect enough data to advise the LHIN to change that funding formula,” Abedi said. If the province’s goal is to have hospice to play a bigger role within the health care system, Abedi said “it is not correct” to ask hospices to fundraise for 60 per cent of their budgets. On the advice of the hospice palliative regional program in Ottawa, the LHIN is now funding around 65 per cent of nursing costs for the amalgamated local hospice group. Navigating that uncharted territory of making incremental decisions that will build towards a new funding model will fall to Ottawa because it is a leader in the palliative-care field. “When you look at palliative care, we’ve got a lot that other areas don’t have,” said Kachuik, the Ottawa Hospital palliative-care nurse specialist. “I think we’ve taken great strides in developing what I would call an integrated system.” While Ottawa still has work to do, it is a leader compared to other parts of the province, particularly rural areas. The Thunder Bay region has no hospice beds at all, and the South East LHIN, stretching from Belleville to Smiths Falls and north to part of Lanark County, only opened its first three beds this summer. Other regions of Ontario plan to follow Ottawa’s lead by starting their own regional programs for palliative and hospice care. But in the meantime, experts in Ottawa will set the example for a shift in how end-of-life care is delivered.

Rural hospice: ‘there’s a need for sustainable funding’
S
taff at Hospice Renfrew know all too well the limitations of a rural location. The hospice’s six beds run in the small town of Renfrew are the only ones in the county, and they’re almost always filled with patients living out their final days. A registered nurse and a personal support worker are there 24 hours a day, and the hospice also maintains a small administration. About 50 volunteers cover the reception desk, run support programs, plan events, tend the garden and bake homemade snacks for residents. But it’s not enough. Six beds can’t meet demand for an entire county, and there’s a constant list of patients waiting to get a bed, said hospice director Diane Caughey.
Some of them die before the beds become available. But adding more beds isn’t exactly feasible, either. The Ontario government funds less than half of the hospice’s $1 million operating costs, and all of that money goes to nursing care, Caughey said. “There’s a need for sustainable funding that will cover operations,” she said. “There are fundraising challenges in a small rural community.” Fewer people means fewer dollars, and there’s always competition from other fundraising health care facilities in the region. “The challenge is ... how does a community of 5,000 people raise the $1 million a year to support it?” asked Hospice Palliative Care Ontar-
io’s executive director Rick Firth. Renfrew is not alone in this. Rural hospice beds are few and far between. According to Firth, the vast majority of the province’s 231 beds are located in urban areas. Until July, the South East Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) covering Belleville, Kingston, Smiths Falls and parts of Lanark County had no hospice beds at all, and the North-West LHIN in the Thunder Bay region still lacks any residential facilities. Part of the problem is that provincial funding for hospices is designated solely for nursing staff – $90,000 per bed - and that base cost is the same no matter how many beds a hospice has. “In the smaller facilities it’s more
of a challenge because the nursing model requires a registered nurse present 24/7,” Firth said. “So in a situation like Renfrew where there’s six beds (instead of the standard 10), you still have the need for an RN 24/7. You can’t split a nurse in two. So proportionately they get less funding per bed.” A six-bed hospice like Renfrew should get $116,000 instead of $90,000, he said. The other problem is geography. To cut costs, several villages or townships will collaborate to cover a region. A day hospice program could be located in one town, Firth said, but residential hospice beds might be in another. This creates an access problem for patients and family members who
must travel long distances to get to the facility they need. The new hospice program inside the South East LHIN hopes to address some of those issues. Instead of building the standard 10-bed model in a centralized, urban location, the beds will be spread around. In July, Hospice Prince Edward opened three beds in Picton and the South East LHIN plans to monitor how they are used before opening the remaining seven beds in several other small groups across the region. Firth said rural access is one of his organization’s biggest priorities moving forward, and it will participate in a ministry-led committee this fall to facilitate rural-focused solutions.

Poet David Groulx reads at Stittsville library John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Poet David Groulx of Ottawa is proud of his native roots –Ojibwe on his mother’s side and French Canadian on his father’s side. But that does not mean that he views himself as a spokesman for Aboriginal culture. “It’s just my way of expressing myself,” he said about his poetry to those who attended his free poetry reading presentation at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last Saturday afternoon, Sept. 28. He explained that he is not an expert on Aboriginal culture or language and he simply goes about writing his literature. So far, he has written six books of his poetry which have been published, including his latest one “Imagine Mercy.” He read several poems from this latest book last Saturday although he also read some poems from other previous books as well. And while his readings revealed a poetic style that draws graphic pictures with a paucity of words, he has no desire to write longer poems, saying that he just does not write longer poems. He explained that he has one poem that now stretches to 35 pages but this is an anomaly, not the norm. But don’t let this lead you to believe that David Groulx backs down
from challenges. He doesn’t. When his work was being identified as political in nature, he set out to prove that he could also write love poetry. As a result, one of his two new books being published next year will be his first-ever collection of love poems. And when David won a Battle of the Bards competition two years ago, he was described as a writer of native and protest poetry. This description irked him, so he went home and wrote, what else, a protest poem, reciting a whole plethora of things he protests, ranging from John Wayne’s movies to the “fraud of Confederation” to “everything said by Don Cherry and Kevin O’Leary.” His poetry portrays insights about Canada and Canadians. He has written about how Canadians claim to love rural life but that most Canadians live in southern cities. Similarly Canadians claim to love the wilderness but most do not visit it. His “The Greatest Show in Town” poem, which he read, deals with the poor, written with Vancouver in mind. His poem “Someone Mistaken” gives his view that people have mistaken capitalism for democracy. His poem “Water” deals with the lack of running water on Canada’s reserves. His poem about widening a highway through a reserve which included comparisons to Palestine and even a Nazi doctrine brought forward
critical assessments of his poem because of the inclusion of these comparisons. David treats his poetry writing as work, the same as going out to a job. “I treat it like work,” he says about when he settles down to writing his poetry. Once I am committed to writing, it is work, he says. “So you do it. You have to.” He explained that his latest book “Imagine Mercy” was written in about a month, perhaps less, with him committed to writing five pages a day during a time when he was laid off from his job as a roofer. And, yes, he has written about his occupation in a poem about roofer’s boots and another about the sweaty work involved in removing a roof by hand. David did his first writing in grade three when he wrote a story that he was asked to read in front of his class. He admits that he was a bad student in school, spending a lot of time in the principal’s office. He really started writing poetry in grade seven when he managed to get an “A” for a poetry assignment. It was the only “A” which he ever got, he said, and it encouraged him to start writing poetry by himself. He told those at his reading at the Stittsville library that he likes writing poetry because “it has more freedom” than other creative outlets. He believes that a person can do more with poetry than with any other me-
dium. He also made it clear that he is not comfortable with punctuation. He said that he has been asked to write a novel even though he has never written fiction before. He said that he was going to take some time and produce a sample chapter and an outline of the story and see where it goes. It is to be an historical fiction book dealing with the War of 1812.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Poet David Groulx of Ottawa holds a copy of his latest book of poetry, “Imagine Mercy.”
How safe will it be? 24/7 safe.
He claimed that the War of 1812 was more about the West and how to take it from the natives than about conquering Canada. David says that he writes his poetry using a computer which he finds moves fast enough to keep up with his thoughts. He finds that writing by hand does not allow him to keep up with his emerging thoughts as he works. He does not belong to any writing or poetry groups, finding that he writes best in a solitary environment. In fact, he finds that walking helps his creativity. “I find it easier to create poetry when I’m walking,” he says. David Groulx, who was raised in Elliot Lake in northern Ontario, attended Lakehead University in Thunder Bay where he received his B.A. and where he won the Munro Poetry Prize. He won the Simon J. Lucas Jr. Memorial Award for poetry at the En’owkin Centre in Penticton, B.C. He was also a co-winner at Harbourfront Centre’s 2011 Poetry NOW competition. Besides “Imagine Mercy,” David Groulx has written five previous books of poetry, starting with “Night in the Exude” in 1997. His previous one before this latest one was “Rising With A Distant Dawn” which was published in 2012.

Evening of celebration to mark 25 years Jeff. But there was more than the mechanical bull to this party.
John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Move over, John Travolta! The star of the 1980 movie “Urban Cowboy,” which brought popularity to mechanical bull riding machines, has nothing on Jeff McKessock of Goulbourn’s Westar Farms who mounted and rode a mechanical bull, one of the attractions at Westar’s 25th anniversary celebration last Saturday evening, Sept. 28. And with Westar Farms being a full service equestrian training and boarding facility, this celebration took place in a most appropriate and familiar location – the indoor arena at Westar, complete with its dirt floor and spacious rustic interior and the spot where for 25 years now, Jeff and Bridget McKessock and their staff have trained and instructed a generation or two of equestrian riders. The mechanical bull, set up in the barn with its surrounding inflated area that allowed for soft landings when a rider was inevitably thrown off the bucking bull, drew a lineup of eager riders once Jeff McKessock had shown how it’s done – forever the instructor. Indeed, early in his career, he was involved in western rodeo games and steer riding. Once you have had the real thing beneath you, the mechanical version is a piece of cake – almost. Just ask
The 200 or so who attended enjoyed a potluck supper, with the table of offerings stretching across the in-
door arena – yes, there’s was lots of choice. A dozen or so tables were set up

in the barn and for additional seating, hay bales were stacked like couches in several locations in the barn. An appropriate feature for an equestrian facility holding its quarter-century anniversary! Christmas-type lights were strung in parts of the indoor arena, adding a festive touch. And a couple of “Wild, Wild Westar” signs contributed further to the celebratory atmosphere. And then there was the “memories” display on a section of the arena wall. This included newspaper clippings of the Westar Farms opening in Oct. 1988, some of the ribbons won over the years, photos from various horse shows, a photo of the Westar winners of the tack stall decorating competition at the 1991 Central Canada Exhibition in Ottawa, photo montages of the Westar family from years like the year 2000, and more, all refreshing memories of the past 25 years at Westar Farms. The celebration also featured music provided by “The Little Bighead” band, with dancing possible on the dirt floor in front of the temporary stage area. There’s was also lots of opportunity for chatting and visiting, sometimes with acquaintances and friends from years past.

Westar Farms opened in 1988 Continued from page 19
Indeed, there were more than 20 people in attendance who were also at the Westar Farms opening celebration on Oct. 22, 1988. Once part of the Westar family, you are a life member and always welcome back. A special part of this 25th anniversary celebration was the presentation of a framed photo montage of moments from the Farm’s past 25 years to owners Jeff and Bridget McKessock. The photo montage was created by Ania Kolecki who is not only a gifted freelance artist but also rides at Westar Farms. In his remarks at the presentation, Jeff McKessock noted the great family that those involved with Westar Farms have formed over the years. He said that he and his wife Bridget have been so fortunate over the past 25 years to have had such a group of wonderful people around them like the staff and patrons of Westar. He said that he and Bridget over the past 25 years have been able to do a job that they really love and which he said that they will keep on doing into the future. He recalled that the Westar Farms opening on Oct. 22, 1988 saw a snowstorm hit. The Farm’s opening potluck supper saw virtually no one attend due to the weather but eventually 300 people showed up. And with no parking areas at that time at the farm and with the snow, there was parking chaos. But, then again, that’s what makes memories and gets mentioned at a 25th anniversary celebration a quarter of a century later.
Westar Farms, located on Fernbank Road just east of Dwyer Hill Road in Goulbourn, is an equestrian training centre which emphasizes a strong foundation of skills for all levels of riding. Jeff McKessock is in charge of the barn and training as he is a certified National Coaching Certification Program Level 3 coach with experience teaching and competing in the three Olympic disciplines of jumper, dressage and evening. Bridget McKessock is a certified National Coaching Certification Program Level 2 coach who also handles the administrative duties at Westar as well as planning Westar’s horse shows. Other familiar faces around Westar Farms include Karen Steadman who has managed the barn and been in charge of horse care at Westar for 25 years; Stephanie Wark, the Farm’s novice rider instructor; Robin Brock, an assistant coach and instructor; Samantha MacGillivray and Natasha Dilkie who are part of the in-barn staff as well as being riders; and Brian Fisher who manages the grounds. The barn at Westar Farms has 21 box stalls and is ventilated with temperature and humidity controls. The indoor arena which has an upstairs heated viewing lounge stretches 70 feet wide and 160 feet long. Westar Farms has several riding and show rings as well as trails, both on its property and on adjacent farms by permission of the owners.

Jeff McKessock of Westar Farms strains to hold on as he rides a mechanical bull, one of the attractions at the 25th anniversary evening of entertainment and celebration at Westar Farms last Saturday, Sept. 28.
Westar Farms - 25 years in business Special to the News
News – Westar Farms, an equestrian training centre on Fernbank Road in Goulbourn, is celebrating 25 years in business this year. Owners Jeff and Bridget McKessock credit their success and longevity to a few simple but vital principles: strong roots developed through the help and support of family and friends; growth made possible by seeking out and listening to the advice of various mentors; stability which is
maintained by keeping to the basic philosophy that helped forge the Westar Farms identity; and flexibility, i.e. staying open-minded enough to move forward with the times while not bending to fads. The philosophy of this equestrian business has always been and continues to be to give riders, whether beginners or national caliber competitors, a sound foundation in riding based on classic training principles including a respect and gratitude to the horse and
also fellow riders. Westar Farms was conceived in the early 1980’s but its history goes back even further. Jeff McKessock came to the Ottawa area in 1977 and was hired by Pam and Joe Nuth as an instructor at their Fiddlers Green Stables at Stittsville. Jeff developed his teaching skills, moved up to head coach and then began to yearn to own his own farm and to run his own business. See QUARTER CENTURY, page 21

but that a freak cold spell hit with the added shock of several inches of snow. Jeff and Bridget decided to wait until the business was up and running before tying the knot, ďŹ guring that if they could survive starting a business together, they could survive marriage. This happened in 1990 with Jim Phillips as best man and many students and their families in attendance. Pictures of Jeff and Bridget in their wedding ďŹ nery were taken in the barn aisle with all of the horses as â&#x20AC;&#x153;witnesses.â&#x20AC;? A photo was also taken at the back of the farm which ten years later would become the site of the house that Jeff and Bridget would built at the farm. Many mentors have helped guide the McKessocks through the ups and downs of 25 years in business. Some have been family members while others have been colleagues in the equestrian community and still others have been friends and fellow small business owners. The main advice has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;stick to what you are good at but be willing to open a few doors to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the other side.â&#x20AC;? Running horse shows keeps Westar Farms in touch with the local community of horse lovers
7,&2
This is what he did but Pam and Joe Nuth remain today valued friends and colleagues in the local equestrian community. Jeff met Bridget (nee Stevenson) at Fiddlers Green where she was a student rider. But their relationship did not develop until Bridget moved away from Ottawa and then returned to study at Carleton University. With the help of generous friends Pat and Jim Phillips, a piece of property on Fernbank Road in Goulbourn was purchased and severed in 1984. Pat and Jim are like family to Jeff and Bridget McKessock and have always been mentors willing to lend and ear and offer advice. The name Westar was chosen partly because the farm is in the west part of Ottawa but also because the name, while simple, also has a solid conďŹ dence about it. Construction at Westar Farms began in the summer of 1988 with riders and their families helping to construct the stalls inside the barn. The ďŹ rst horses moved in on Oct. 1 with a grand opening celebration held on Oct. 22. This day was memorable for a few reasons: not only that hundreds of well wishers turned out
or those who are not yet familiar with but appreciate the majesty of horses. In keeping with the times, there is a special section on the Westar Farms website with information for horse show spectators, describing some of the terms used in horse shows and some of the horse shows that are happening. The ďŹ rst horse show hosted by Westar Farms took place in 1988 at what was then Four Island Farms (now Castle Peak Farms) on Franktown Road west of Dwyer Hill Road. This was because Westar Farms was still under construction. In 1995, a second horse show was added to the Westar Farms schedule and in 2002, a third show was added. The show grounds themselves at Westar Farms have developed over the years as well. The shows happen around the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long laneway, lined with maple trees planted the year after the farm opened for business. They were eight feet tall then but now many have reached more than 30 feet in height and provide welcome shade on hot show days. In 2009, the main jumper ring at Westar Farms was expanded and new permanent competition and training obstacles were added. In recent years, â&#x20AC;&#x153;featureâ&#x20AC;? classes not offered at other shows as well as extra prize money have attracted competitors to Westar Farms and its shows. The ďŹ rst year that the $1,000 jumper derby was offered, more than 50 competitors entered that class alone. Keeping to its basic philosophy has kept the business sound. Westar Farms teaches riders from beginners up to the national levels of competition, with each learning based on soundly established training principles. Jeff and Bridgetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to high standards and a good work ethic is reďŹ&#x201A;ected in their students, both in and out of the riding ring and whether at home or at horse shows. Family continues to be at the heart of Westar Farms. Competitive riders and those who own

Is diluted bitumen corrosive? No, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same as any other oil.

According to multiple studies, including a recent report by the National Academy of Science, pipelines carrying diluted bitumen pose no more of a safety risk than other pipelines carrying crude oil. Nor is diluted bitumen more likely to cause internal damage to pipes, or to cause spills. Energy East will carry all types of crude oil and will be one of the safest pipelines transporting oil across North America.

their own horses spend many hours at the barn each week. As a result, great friendships develop among the riders and even though each rider wants to be number one in competition, there is a big support network for every rider and a cheering group of fellow riders and supporters outside the show ring. A mentoring program within the barn sees â&#x20AC;&#x153;veteranâ&#x20AC;? competitors help those new to the show ring to become familiar with the competition scene. The McKessock sons, 13 year old Mark and 11 year old Luke, have always been involved in the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation but each is now taking a more active role, with Mark aiding with the technological advances including helping keep the newly renovated website up to date and taking many of the photos that appear on the site. He is also Westar Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on-site computer technician. Luke is more interested in the horsey side of things. He is a rider and hopes to be an equestrian coach some day. Westar Farms began with a staff of two full time and one part-time employee in addition to Jeff and Bridget. That staff has now grown to ten. Jeff continues as manager of Westar Farms and head coach. Karen Steadman, who is the barn manager, has been with Westar Farms for all of its 25 years. Rider Lianne Sands holds the record for being the longest-serving student, also being at Westar Farms for 25 years. To relieve Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s busy schedule, other coaches and instructors are now on staff. Bridgetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role has evolved from farm rider to administrator, ofďŹ ce manager and event planner. Jeff and Bridget still love what they do. They love having their sons involved in the business and enjoy watching as Mark and Luke learn about responsibility, respect and commitment. But mostly, Jeff and Bridget are just looking forward to the new adventures that are still to come in the life of Westar Farms.

Stittsville Lions involved with Purina Walk for Dog Guides Special to the News
News - Members from the Stittsville District Lions Club will be among Lions Club members from 11 Ottawa area Lions Clubs that are involved with the third annual National Capital Purina Walk for Dog Guides in Ottawa this coming Sunday, Oct. 6. The 5KM walk starts at 1 p.m. from the Ecole Secondaire Publique De La Salle on St. Patrick Street in
the Rockcliffe area, following a route through the walking paths of Bordeleau and New Edinburgh parks and then along St. Patrick Street to Porterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Island, ending with a reception and refreshments at the Rockcliffe Retirement Residence. Stittsville District Lions Club members will be helping out with setting up the Walk and will be manning several of the checkpoints along the way. Members of the Stittsville
District Lions Club who have volunteered to help with this Walk are Paul Riddell, Don Zogalo, Don Redtman, Ed Meunier, Gord MacIsaac, Bob Lewis, Jack Burke, Helen Culbert and Brenda Miller. The goal of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walk, hosted by the 11 local Lions Clubs along with Nestle Purina PetCare Canada, is to raise $20,000 to go towards raising and training a dog guide. It costs the Lions Foundation of
Canada Dog Guide program about $20,000 to train one dog in one of the six specialized programs involved in dog guide training. Dog guides are given by the Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guide program to their recipients at no cost. Having a dog guide gives recipients their freedom and independence back. Giving the dog guide to a recipient at no cost is made possible through the partnership involving the Lions Foundation of Canada, local Lions Clubs and Nestle Purina Pet-
Care Canada. There are more than 250 dog walk events held annually across Canada which raise more than $9 million in total for the program. In these dog walk events, participants walk with their dogs. At the Ottawa event this Sunday, each participant will receive a complimentary photograph of the participant with his or her dog in the walk. For pledge sheets for this Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Capital Purina Walk for Dog Guides, go to https://sites. google.com/site/2013ncpwe/home .

NASCAR goes to A. Lorne Cassidy John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - NASCAR came to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville last Friday. NASCAR Canadian Tire Series driver D.J. Kennington, who was the champion driver in the Series in both 2010 and 2012, was at the school, along with fellow NASCAR driver
Dave Connelly, showing off a light green and black NASCAR stock car, plastered with sponsor names such as Sobeys and Castrol. All of the students were assembled under sunny skies in the schoolyard where D.J. Kennington explained about the car, talked about the safety equipment involved in racing and, as a climax, made a noisy exit as he drove the stock car from the rear schoolyard out to Hobin
Street and eventually into a trailer parked in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus layby lane. D.J. explained that the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series involves 12 races a year, all across Canada. In fact, he had just raced at the Kawartha Speedway at Peterborough the previous Sunday in the ďŹ nal Series race of the year, placing fourth in the race. He noted that a NASCAR stock car like the one on display in the schoolyard was worth
$120,000. He said that the car will do over 185 miles per hour which means that things like crashes can happen in a hurry, especially when running side by side or noise to tail with another car. But NASCAR drivers have a lot of safety equipment to make the racing as safe as possible. See STUDENTS, page 25

Students see NASCAR car Continued from page 24
This includes a helmet which D.J. told the students was the most important piece of safety equipment for a driver. A driver does not get into a car without wearing the helmet, he said. The helmet also has other functions. There is a communication device in it that allows the driver to communicate with a spotter watching
the track who can tell the driver where the other cars are located. The helmet also has a fresh air vent to help relieve some of the heat that builds up in the car. D.J. said that the temperature in a stock car reaches 60 degrees Celsius. So any cooling mechanism is much appreciated. A NASCAR driver also wears a fire suit which is made of light material to allow maxi-
mum car speed. The fire suit gives a driver 30 seconds of protection in a crash fire. A driver also wears boots and gloves which offer protection from fire. D.J. Kennington said that since 2007, he has won 20 stock car races, with 12 races being held each year. “Twenty’s a lot better than none,” D.J. told the students. He himself began racing when he was four years old. Granted, it was go karts at that point in time but he eventually progressed up through
the racing ranks to where he is now racing in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series, the top racing competition in Canada. He told the students that his favourite NASCAR driver when he was growing up was Davey Allison, a racer who died in a helicopter crash. D.J.’s favourite NASCAR driver at present is Kyle Busch. D.J. made an impressive exit, climbing into the car, firing it up and then driving it out by the assembled students. When he was beyond the students near the street, he stepped on the gas

Not your grandmother’s compression stockings Do you no ce swelling of the ankles, spider veins in the lower legs.

Many of us may experience heaviness in our legs, swelling and/or poor circula on in our life me and using gradient compression hose can help to move the blood more efficiently back to your heart.

These aren’t your grandmother’s compression stockings www.bioped.com/products compression_stockings.asp.

for both genders and all personal styles. Our compression stockings are available in an array of colours, pa erns, styles, and levels of sheerness.

NEWS While I realize this recent great weather has made us all feel that summer is lasting a little longer, I’m about to completely depress all of you by letting you know that to prepare for winter operations, the City of Ottawa has begun driver training for the operation of snow-clearing equipment. On-street training began September 23 and will run until November 30. Sorry. Now on to other business… Official Plan Review As mentioned last week, the release dates of the Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and consultation process were postponed due to the tragic events that took place on September 18th. These dates have now been rescheduled and, subsequently, the consultation process for the review of the Official Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Cycling Plan and Pedestrian Plan will begin next week. On Wednesday, October 9th the latter three plans will be tabled at a joint meeting of the Transportation Committee and Transit Commission. The City is hosting four consultations to discuss these plans: October 15th from 4:00-8:00pm at Ottawa City Hall; October 17th from 4:00-8:00pm at the Kanata Recreation Complex; October 22nd from 4:00-8:00pm at the Walter Baker Centre; and October 24th from 4:008:00pm at the Bob MacQuarrie Recreation Complex. More information will be made available on the 9th and those unable to attend can visit Ottawa.ca/liveableottawa. Any feedback on the Official Plan review can be sent to planning@ottawa.ca and please feel free to copy me on any emails. The Transit Commission will consider the Transportation Master Plan on October 16th, the Planning Committee will consider the Official Plan and Infrastructure Master Plan on November 8th and the Transportation Committee will consider the TMP, Cycling Plan and Pedestrian Plan on November 26th. All plans will go to full City Council on December 11th. Eagleson Road Temporary Closure Eagleson Road, from Barnsdale Road to Ottawa Street will be closed from 9:00pm on Wednesday, October 9th until 2:00pm on Thursday, October 10th.

Art and Craft Show and more at Museum Special to the News
News - The annual Art and Craft Show held by the Goulbourn Museum in the time leading up to Christmas is expanding this year. Not only will it be a show and sale of items made by talented crafters, but also it will be a festive fun occasion with an old fashioned Christmas flavour. Hence the event’s new name: “Old-Fashioned Christmas Art & Craft Sale.” Right now the Goulbourn Museum is seeking crafters to fill the 14 vendor positions that will be available at the event which is being held on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. It is becoming a juried event with vendors chosen to ensure a balanced representation of items at the event. Specialties being sought include clothing and accessories, home décor, Christmas greenery, art, toys, textiles and bath and body items. Also this year, the vendors will be housed not in the Museum itself but outside in a heated tent. The festive fun part of the event will include a children’s station for writing letters to Santa, old fashioned photos with Santa, old-world entertainment, Christmas carols, wood-fired pizza made fresh onsite by Pizza All’antica and more. But a key to the success of the event will be the diversity and appeal of the vendors selling their arts and crafts. This is why the Goulbourn Museum is now seeking applications for space at the sale from those interested in being vendors at the show. It’s easy to apply: just send an email to marketing@ goulbournmuseum.ca include name, business name, contact information, a description of your handmade goods, a minimum of three quality photographs and an indication of whether a table is needed or not.

Donations box, no tips at Gaia Java coffee shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - There are no tips accepted at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. Rather there is a donation box in which customers can drop spare change. That’s because the Gaia Java coffee shop has a special relationship with Africa and Uganda in particular. The donations put in the box are forwarded to the Ottawa-based char-
ity “Canada-Africa Community Health Alliance” (CACHA) which helps communities in Africa and particularly has a project called “Care For Your Life” in Uganda through which help is provided to a small rural community called Kammengo. In the two years since it opened, the Gaia Java shop, through its donation box, has contributed $4,204.02 to CACHA. The funds have gone to educational and health initiatives. See LES GORMAN, page 27

Les Gorman sings at Gaia Java
And so, on an evening when Jimmy Sebulime, who works for CACHA and who came to Canada as a youth from Uganda, was to be at Gaia Java and tell about some exciting new projects in his hometown of Kammengo in Uganda, it only made sense that the performer on this particular Friday music evening at Gaia Java last Friday should be Les Gorman, a retired Ottawa teacher and accomplished singer and songwriter who himself has travelled several times to Uganda and has volunteered there. His songs may be known in Nashville but they are also known in the Kammengo community in Uganda. Since 2007 here in Canada, Les has promoted helping out Uganda and indeed he was instrumental in starting a program where $50 would provide an education for a child there. And Les’ experiences in Uganda have impacted on his songwriting. He began last Friday’s musical evening at Gaia Java with three songs he wrote about Uganda; “On the Equator,” “Uganda” in which he tells about a torturous overnight bus trip that he took between Nairobi and Kampala, and “Face of God,” a song recounting his biggest memory from Uganda, the smiling faces of the children. Indeed, he even returned to this song to wind up his performance, albeit it was superceded by two encore songs due to audience demands. Photographs of people and scenes in Africa flashed on an impromptu screen set up on the window behind the Gaia Java performance area during Les’ performance. These photos, along with Les’ songs and later Jimmy Sebulime’s comments, brought the feeling and sense of Uganda right into the atmosphere of the packed coffee shop. Les Gorman went on to sing a number of songs that he has written, always providing an explanation of the circumstances in which the song was written. So you had Jody’s Angel,” written for a former student who was injured in an accident but who enjoyed the constant love and attention of her mother; “A Single Yellow Rose,” written in 1992 with a student; “Daddy’s Little Girl,” written for his daughter; “Favourite Place,” a song reciting many of the places around the world which he has visited but asserting that his most favourite
place of all is in the arms of his wife; “Modest Little Me,” a lively tune that is his newest song; “What Is Your Gift?”, a slow tempo song that claims everyone has a gift; “Tennessee,” a song he wrote in Nashville; “Post It Note,” a recent song that he also wrote in Nashville; “I Promise,” which he wrote during a high school staff meeting and is his version of a wedding song; and on it went. But he also veered into several Beatles songs, music that he and his brother started out playing together. The songs included some of his favourite Beatles tunes including “Nothing’s Going To Change My World,” “A Day in the Life” (“I read the news today, oh boy”), and “Yesterday,” which Les views as one of the greatest songs of all time and the number one love song. And he did not leave out John Lennon, singing his iconic “Imagine.” His encore songs were a song that he wrote in 1994 and sent to singing sensation of that time, Roch Voisine, although he never heard from him about it, and also a song “Slip Away” about never letting love slip away that he wrote as if his daughter were singing it to her daughters. It was about mid-stream in all of this two hours of Les Gorman music when Jimmy Sebulime of CACHA told how CACHA tries to support youth in Uganda and Africa by providing education and basic health services. CACHA undertakes medical missions to a number of countries in Africa and in fact Jimmy himself will be leading CACHA’s next medical mission to Uganda in November. He told about a project that he has initiated in his home village of Kammengo in Uganda which is being undertaken in memory of his mother who died in Uganda earlier this year after being involved in a road accident. Jimmy himself was also hurt in this same accident but was able to recover. The project will be construction of a guest home on top of a hill where visitors to Kammengo will be able to stay while there helping out. The presence of the home will also provide some employment to local youth. To raise funds for this project, Jimmy and Les have teamed up to organize a fundraising concert which will be staged at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Ottawa on Sunday,
chicken house, a sewing room and a computer room. Joe Granata, who has travelled to Africa twice to help out, including to Uganda last February, testified at this Friday music evening that he personally had seen the funds raised in Canada going to do good work in Africa. Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop continue this coming Friday, Oct. 4 when the Justin Orok Trio will be performing. Those planning to attend this free musical evening are reminded to arrive early, before the 7 p.m. start time, in order to get the best seating.

Jimmy told those at the Friday music evening that projects in Africa may be small in some cases but that they all have an impact on the people there who need help. “We can all do something,” he said. He urged people to consider travelling to Africa to help out on a project. “It’s an amazing place,” Les Gorman confirmed about Africa, noting the perpetual joy on children’s faces.

CARP ROAD WIDENING ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STUDY The City of Ottawa initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study in June 2013 for the widening of Carp Road from Highway 417 in the North, to Hazeldean Road in the South. This Study is being carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule â&#x20AC;&#x153;Câ&#x20AC;? project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process. The widening has been identified to address growing vehicle/traffic demand in the western portion of the Kanata-Stittsville Area. This need is being re-confirmed as part of this ongoing EA. The study is expected to be completed in one year. The following are key dates in the study schedule. There will be on-going public consultation activities during the course of the study. Your participation in Open House meetings is an important component of the study where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Information on the Carp Road Widening EA Study is available on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project web site at: ottawa. ca/carproad For further information or to provide comments, please contact Jabbar Siddique at: Tel: 613-580-2424, ext. 13914 E-mail: Jabbar.Siddique@ottawa.ca

News - Imagine the scenario. You are roused from your sleep after a night of working by a person at your door urging you to ďŹ&#x201A;ee your apartment. Fire is engulďŹ ng the building and you have to get out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; NOW! And so you get out but so much is left behind.

How do you get re-established? How can you start to rebuild your life? You are a hard worker, as evidenced by your seven years working at the Ultramar gas bar store just up the street, getting to know customers by their ďŹ rst names and greeting them at other locations around town.

Main Street where you lived in an apartment upstairs, now, three weeks later, you have a nighttime job and you have found another apartment which has only a fridge, stove and couch and which you have thanks to the generosity of the landlord and thanks to an offer to do some repair work to the place. You are trying to get back on your feet but you are yet to have any access to your burned-out former apartment in the hope of recovering some of her personal papers and belongings. And while some friends have wanted to set up a trust fund to help you get back on your feet, this has proven almost insurmountable because a trust fund requires identify paperwork â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what she cannot provide.

teller the donation, whether it be two dollars or twenty dollars or something more or less than this. Simply indicate that the donation is for Rachel and the Royal Bank will ensure that it gets into an account that she can access. She will be able to start rebuilding her life and as her identiďŹ cation documents are re-issued to her, she will once again be the contributing, friendly, caring member of the community that she was before that day when she had to rush from her apartment with nothing. The ďŹ re on Monday, Sept. 9 at 1518 Stittsville Main Street could have been tragic but everyone got out and no one was injured or hurt. But for Rachel, the ďŹ re took everything from her including her ofďŹ cial identiďŹ cation. Giving her a helping hand through a donation in her name at the Royal Bank in Stittsville will help her get back on her feet. She grew up in Stittsville and has been a contributing member of the community in her work and friendly attitude. Surely ďŹ re cannot engulf the helping and generous spirit that has always prevailed in Stittsville in the past.

Richmond Curling Club founded in 1960 winter months. This happened in 1960 when, after a loan from the bank, a government grant for ďŹ&#x201A;uorescent lighting for the building, renovations, equipment purchasing, curling stones obtained and yes, ice made, the Curling Club became a reality with curling beginning about the last week of December. After two seasons of curling on natural ice, artiďŹ cial ice was installed. The club ďŹ&#x201A;ourished through the 1960s and 1970s, but in the late 1979s, the roof of the
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 ďŹ rst facility. Fundraising endeavours plus a Wintario grant of just over $300,000 made the new facility possible, and in May, 1980, the ďŹ rst curling took place in the new four-sheet facility. The Richmond Curling Club now boasts a full complement of menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ladies and mixed curling activities. In addition, it has a vibrant Little Rock curling program for young beginner curlers, as well as a robust 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. In March, 1999, the Richmond Curling Club hosted the annual Gore Mutual Ontario School Curling Provincial Championship for high school boy and girl curlers from across Eastern and Southern Ontario.

News - 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 modiďŹ cations, as a two-sheet curling rink and lounge during the

January, 2002, the Club hosted the Grey Power Seniors Provincial Curling Championships. In the year 2000, the Richmond Curling Club rinks that won the Ontario Curling Association provincial championship in the Bell Cellular Governor-Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double rink competition was inducted into the Goulbourn Sports Wall of Fame. Members of the rinks were Warren Reddick and Cliff Wilson, skips, Bill Johnston, Rick Reddick, Ron Reddick, Al Wilson, Herb Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Heron and Dan Roy. This was the ďŹ rst and only provincial championship banner won by the Richmond Curling Club. Although not playing with a Richmond Curling Club rink, two Richmond Curling Club curlers did play on the Joyce Potterskipped rink playing out of the Ottawa Curling Club which won the Ontario Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Masters title and the provincial Senior Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title in 2011. In fact, the rink went on to compete in the national senior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship, ďŹ nishing second after an 8-6 loss to New Brunswick in the championship ďŹ nal. Brenda MofďŹ tt played lead for this rink while Jennifer Langley was the second. Diana Favel was the third while Joyce Potter was the skip. An example of the superb curlers who play at the Richmond Curling Club is the rink from the Richmond Curling Club which was the top senior division rink in the City of Ottawa Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bonspiel in March 2012. The rink of Dick Stoddart as skip, Jim Slinger as vice-skip, John Harvey as second and Jim Klachan as lead was the senior divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand aggregate winner. This division was sponsored by Tubman Funeral Homes.

Kremlin, Summer Palace visited in Russia Special to the News
News - Visiting the Kremlin and the Cosmonaut Museum in Moscow. Impressive. Cruising the Volga River. Convenient, educational and enjoyable. Seeing Catherine the Great’s Summer Palace in St. Petersburg. Awesome. Enduring a long flight, an eight hour jet lag and bureaucratic officialdom. Survivable. Yes, it was quite a trip to Russia for Stittsville businessman and Stittsville Village Association president Phil Sweetnam, his wife Beth and four friends. They left Ottawa for Moscow on Sunday, Aug. 25, returning from St. Petersburg on Monday, Sept. 9 after experiencing and enjoying a part of the world that they had never seen before. In Moscow, they enjoyed a tour of the city as well as a tour of the Kremlin which is a massive complex of muSUBMITTED seums, cathedrals and towers clustered around a huge This is a photo of the turreted Kremlin in Moscow, the heart of the central square. This is the heart of the Russian governRussian government. ment and the official residence of the President of Russia R0012336655
who currently is Vladimir Putin. President Putin also has a number of private residences. During the tour, Phil and the others were able to stand on the spot in the central square where a German pilot landed his small Cessna plane in 1987 with the Russian air force not realizing he was in the area, causing embarrassment to the officials. The group also saw the new helipad which has been installed by President Putin to facilitate his comings and goings from the Kremlin and, in addition, witnessed a team of soldiers on horses performing to music, an event similar to Canada’s RCMP musical ride. An adventurous subway trip where they saw some of Moscow’s beautiful downtown subway stations and where they received help from Russian passers-by directing them to their destination ended in a visit to the Cosmonaut Museum which presented the space race from the Russian perspective. It was then a harried taxi ride through Moscow’s perpetually aggressive and heavy traffic to reach the boat on which they were travelling to St. Petersburg. Moscow traffic apparently always feels like it’s rush hour time. Aboard the riverboat MS Nickolai Chernishevsky, the group travelled on a series of rivers and lakes in the Volga River system. During this cruise, there were lectures on Russian history, culture and politics as well as evening entertainment and fine dining. Each day the boat stopped at a different Russian city, resulting in tours of Yaroslavl, Goritsy, Kizhi and Mandrogui. Finally, the boat arrived at St. Petersburg, the city built by Czar Peter the Great in a swamp using Russian serfs and Swedish prisoners of war as forced labour. St. Petersburg is spectacular today, with over 300 palaces and numerous historic sites. There has been much restoration work done by the government to repair damage done to these sites during World War Two. Women have done much of this restoration work due to the death of over 27 million Russian men during World War Two. In St. Petersburg, the group toured Catherine the Great’s Summer Palace which has gold leaf roofing, the Peterhof and the Hermitage, all restored after the War’s bombing damage. The group found that Russian airports can be challenging. At the St. Petersburg airport for the return flight, an official told them to go to a certain booth. These booths or little rooms could be entered by a traveler when a green light flashed to have his or her passport examined. The green light for their designated booth never came on. A check in the booth found a staff person sitting inside behind a glass wall, sound asleep. So the group moved to another booth but then was asked whey they had not followed instructions and gone to the first booth designated. Told that the staff person there was asleep, an official went in and banged on the glass, yelling, waking up the sleeper. Passports could then be checked. There is an eight hour time difference between Russia and Canada. It is a long flight but the group found that this Russian vacation trip provided a fascinating insight into the history, culture and cuisine of Russia.

Things are cookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Saunders Farm John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - The 2013 Haunting Season is now underway at Saunders Farm in Munster. The Farm launched its â&#x20AC;&#x153;most eek-citing and delicious Haunting Seasonâ&#x20AC;? ever in the words of Director of Fun Mark Saunders when it opened for the haunting season last weekend. And one of the attractions which will no doubt see lots of visitors during the weeks leading up to Halloween is the Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new state-ofthe-art kitchen which is the largest single project ever undertaken in the Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. The kitchen, adjacent to the Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pavilion building, is an open concept one, so that visitors ordering food will be able to not only see the food being prepared but also smell JOHN CURRY/METROLAND the aromas in the kitchen.

Hospital Redevelopment UPDATE
Over the past few years, Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital has been working with the Champlain LHIN, Ministry of Health officials, planners, architects and community partners to develop a Hospital redevelopment plan. This is an update of recent activity:
In June 2012, the Champlain LHIN approved Stage 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part Aâ&#x20AC;? of the business case proposal for a new hospital and associated health hub on the land being provided by the Town of Carleton Place and the Township of Beckwith. Since this time, the hospital has made on-going efforts to obtain the next Stage 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part Bâ&#x20AC;? government approval from our provincial Ministry of Health. The proposal for a "Health Village Integration Project" was submitted to the Capital Planning Branch of the Ministry of Health in June of 2012. The planning branch analyzed the proposal and submitted requests for further information over the following year. These questions and further requests for information over the course of recent meetings have now all been answered to the satisfaction of the Capital Planning Branch. The Hospital has now been advised that our proposal will be part of the next round of submissions to Ministers who will determine the Ministry's priorities for hospital redevelopment within the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Building Ontarioâ&#x20AC;? 5-year infrastructure plan. The hospital has reviewed the programs and services required to meet the needs that are currently being seen and projected to be occurring in the next twenty years. Core services to meet those needs have been projected with the support of the Champlain LHIN.
YOU Can Make a DiďŹ&#x20AC;erence!
Join us in Rallying for Redevelopment! In order to help Ministry officials become fully aware of how very important the redevelopment of our hospital is to our community, we are inviting all members of the public to join the hospital team in Rallying for the Redevelopment of the Carleton Place Hospital! All community members are encouraged to visit the CPDMH website where one can write messages of support to the MPPs involved in the decision making process. The CPDMH website has a special portal for this cause where letters can be simultaneously emailed, faxed and sent by post to all Ministry of Health and other Ministry members in addition to being tweeted and posted on Facebook. The time is NOW! Show your support TODAY by writing a letter to your MPP and Ministry officials!
Visit www.carletonplacehospital.ca to join us in the Rally for Redevelopment!
Drivers for a new hospital include the aging of the current facility; space constraints on our current parcel of land; the rapidly expanding residential and commercial development in Carleton Place and surrounding communities; the lack of public transportation for patients in the more rural areas of the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchment; the increased complexity of care seen within our population; and the care needs of the large number of elderly patients using the hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services. The hospital is currently seeking approval to move to the next stage of the planning process, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stage 2,â&#x20AC;? which includes detailed design work. In the meantime, meetings are being held with key Ministers to ensure that they are aware of the critical need to replace our almost 60 year-old building.
The time is NOW! Show your support TODAY by writing a letter to your MPP and Ministry of Health officials! Visit www.carletonplacehospital.ca to join the Rally for Redevelopment! As an organization, we look forward to building a quality, health care solution that will serve this community, our patients and their families for generations to come. The hospital wishes to thank the Champlain LHIN for its strong support over the course of the past year and to the community for its patience in this process.

Haunting Season 2013
INVENTORY CLEARANCE Priced from $337,950
R0012322473
Saunders Farm also has a wide array of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes available for purchase. Saunders Farm, during Haunting Season, employees more than 180 paid staff. About 40 percent of these staff personnel are new employees each year, so last weekend’s opening provided them all with some “live experience” to go with their previous training. With crowds expected to increase in size in the coming weeks leading up to Halloween, the staff will now be even much more prepared thanks to last weekend to provide first-class customer service to visitors. This past opening weekend of Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday, Sept. 29 saw the launch of the Farm’s brand new American-style extreme haunt attraction, changes to several popular attractions and a couple of special events. Saunders Farm, which has won local, regional and international awards for its innovative leadership in the agri-tourism industry, has seen hundreds of thousands of visitors over the Farm’s 38 year history, all attracted by its spook-tacular and eerie-sistible attractions for the whole family. Saunders Farm did not get to be the most popular fall attraction in the Ottawa region without having some scary attractions. And this year another one is being added, namely the brand new Camp S/Laughter, an American-style extreme haunt attraction that will allow a visitor to take part in those scary movies that are seen in theatres. The Farm’s Haunting Season favourites, the Haunted Hayride and the Barn of Terror, are both back this fall but both have added new scenes and new rooms to provide more thrills and scares than ever before. Saunders Farm is also changing things up a bit on its Ghost Town Stage. A tribute to the Farm’s beloved Super Heroes will be staged, so make sure that you see Larry Scary, the Green Queen and Mortimer Toad in “Fatman – Stage Fright Rise.” The Zombie Paintball shooting gallery is back again this year but it is now in a brand new paintball field section of the Farm. There’s a couple of special events coming up this month that will make Saunders Farm a place where you will want to be. This Saturday, Oct. 5, Saunders Farm will be marking Spartacat’s Birthday. It will be Ottawa Senators day on the Farm, complete with Spartacat, Ottawa Senators inflatables and birthday cake. Friday, Oct. 11 and Saturday, Oct. 12 will be a special couple of days at Saunders Farm as Saunders Farm joins with Wendy and Allan Hubley and the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa to help youth by raising money and creating awareness to support mental health services. This third annual “Scaring is Caring – Celebrating Acceptance” fundraiser is in memory of Jamie Hubley and his dream. Jamie worked at Saunders Farm for two Haunting Seasons, working as various characters on the
Haunted Hayride. For this “Scaring is Caring – Celebrating Acceptance” fundraiser, five dollars from each admission to the Farm will be donated to the Youth Services Bureau. Haunting Season 2013 will now run through to Thursday, Oct. 31 but the Farm is only open weekends during this time except for Halloween Week itself when it will be open each night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday, Oct. 28 to Thursday, Oct. 31. Weekend hours for the 2013 Haunting Season are Fridays from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Farm will also be open on Thanksgiving Monday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Information about Saunders Farm can be found online at www.saunderJOHN CURRY/METROLAND sfarm.com or can be obtained by callMark Saunders, Director of Fun at Saunders Farm at Munster, is surrounded by some of the pumpkins ing 613-838-5440.

Sacred Heart student to present at Montreal conference John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
0307.R0011949739
News - The voice of youth is going to be heard at the 2013 Interdisciplinary Education Conference hosted by the North American Chapter of the World Council for Curriculum and Instruction in Montreal later this month. That’s because one of the presenters at the conference is going to be 16 year old Anjali Shanmugam, a grade 11 students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. Indeed, she will be the only student presenting at the conference which will have delegates, mostly university professors and academic professionals, from about 11 countries attending it. Theme of the conference is “Building Partnerships to Support Social Justice for All Learners”. Anjali was encouraged by a relative to send in a proposed presentation for the conference which runs from Thursday, Oct. 24 to Saturday, Oct. 26 in Montreal. It was accepted and now she is diligently working on ensuring a smooth, flowing delivery. She admits that she is “excited” about attending and presenting at the conference but also is looking forward to hearing other speakers at the conference. “I want to make it a good memory,” she says. “Hopefully my voice will become global,” Anjali says, hoping that her message of youth involvement with social justice issues is heard at the conference. She wants to bring forward an awareness and understanding of social justice and social issues from a high school student’s perspective. Anjali is concerned about the current situation in the province of Quebec which might
see the banning of the wearing of religious symbols. She sees this as a social justice issue, feeling that people have the right to wear what they wish. Indeed, she feels so strongly about this that she has sent a letter to federal Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau, a Quebec MP, wanting to know his views on the matter, especially since his late father and former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau brought in the federal Charter of Rights. “Religion is your identity,” Anjali says, noting that while newcomers to Canada do adapt to the new culture they experience in Canada, religion is one thing that they can hold onto, preserving their identify. “You just can’t take away someone’s identity,” she says. Anjali points to examples like Severn Cullis-Suzuki, an youthful environmental activist following in the footsteps of her renowned environmentalist father David Suzuki and Terry Fox, who launched a anti-cancer crusade with his Marathon of Hope in 1980, as examples of young people who have inspired young people through their actions. “There are so many youth who have done so much,” she said, while on the other hand pointing out that there are some countries in the world where girls do not have the same educational opportunities as boys. She wants to make sure that everyone in the world, male or female, has the right to an education. She also wants to make youth today more aware that they deserve to have social justice in their lives. Right now, she would not mind presenting her ideas about youth involvement in social justice matters to students in other schools, spreading the message.
And Anjali’s current career goal mirrors this desire to spread social justice. “I want to be a journalist,” she says so that she can write or talk about important issues in society. She likes to keep her marks up in the 80plus range so that she can gain acceptance at a university like Carleton which has a journalism program. She finds that reviewing her notes from class after going home from school is helpful in refreshing in her mind what she learned that day. She also finds it helpful to re-

write notes and even reading them out loud as ways of studying them. Anjali also sketches with a pencil at times. “I just like to draw,” she says, saying that it’s fun and she finds it calming. She draws her inspiration from objects around the house such as vases, lamps and plants. She admits, though, that her art is detailed. “I’m like a perfectionist – it has to be perfect,” she says. The World Council for Curriculum and Instruction, whose North American Chapter is hosting this Interdisciplinary Education Conference in Montreal at which Anjali will be presenting her views on social justice from a high school student’s perspective, is a transnational educational organization committed to advancing the achievement of a just and peaceful world community. The preamble to its constitution reads as follows: “As individual educators from the world, we join together in this person-to-person, nongovernmental, non-profit global organization committed to active participation in efforts to achieve the purposes of the organization. As educators in a world community, we have the responsibility to ensure that education contributes to the promotion of equity, peace and the universal realization of human rights. To this end, all curricular and instructional programs should facilitate in every person the development of (1) a comprehensive sense of respect of self, others and the environment and (2) the capacity to participate at all levels of the world society from local to global. As individuals we commit ourselves to strive toward these ideals and full purposes of the organizations within our professional responsibilities and in our organizational relationships.”

Frances Taylor: A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;must seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on Stittsville Artists Studio Tour john.curry@metroland.com
News - So, just who are the artists involved with this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour that is coming up on Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20? Well, one of them is Frances Taylor and if you like art and creativity, then you will want to make sure that you visit her home studio on Kintail Court. She does different types of artwork â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ready to hang fibre art, frameable art greeting cards, one of a kind wearable art such as crocheted hats with feather pins, crocheted scarves and fascinator hats with feathers, practical fibre art items such as tea cosies, pin cushions and quilted tote bags, semi-precious stone and silver jewellery and even wooden items such as hiking sticks and kitchen utensils. Now if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to meet an artist who can create such a wide range of artistic creations and talk with her and learn how she does it, then this Stittsville Artists Studio Tour is not for you. But if you do, well make note of the dates; Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20. Frances Taylor has sold and/or exhibited her artwork in shops in Perth, Port Carling, Huntsville, Merrickville, Westport, Kingston, Smiths Falls, the Byward Market and Westboro. She has also sold her items at various craft fairs throughout the Ottawa region. And her artwork has been in fine art shows and venues across Ottawa including at the Shenkman Centre, Petit Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bistro, Kitchissippi United Church, Rideau Tennis Club, Glebe Community Centre, Friends of the Farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s juried show and the Cambridge Design Gallery. Her work was also part of the exhibit by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of the Boxâ&#x20AC;? fibre artists group at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last November which was followed up by a solo exhibition of her work at the Stittsville libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art Space Wall last January. Frances also shares her expertise through her teaching at various locales in the area. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why she will be great to chat with on the Stittsville Artists Studio Tour â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she knows what she is doing and can explain it well, just like she does when she is teaching. She has taught crochet at Wabi Sabi and at Amica at Westboro as well as for the West Carleton Fibre Guild. She has also taught needle felting at the fibre festival in Almonte and for the Ottawa Valley Quilters Guild. And she has also taught faux felting, fibre art collars and inserts for art quilts, art cards, acrylic mediums in fibre art, quilted art tote bags, pin weaving, dyeing silk using icing colour paste, fascinator hats and polymer clay work. She indeed has a wide scope in her artistic creations. Among her involvement in artist organizations are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of the Boxâ&#x20AC;? group of fibre artists, the West Carleton Fibre Guild, the Ottawa Valley Quilters Guild, â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Dolled Upâ&#x20AC;? which is an art doll club and the Ottawa Valley Weavers and Spinners Guild.
And in the upcoming Stittsville Artists Studio Tour, you will have the opportunity to drop into her Stittsville home and see examples of her art and her home studio where she creates her art. You will discover the creative and artistic side of this now retired public servant whose working career including being a senior executive in the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, the federal Department of Justice, and also Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Frances Taylor is one of six artists taking part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stittsville Artists Studio Tour. This tour offers an occasion when each participating artist opens up her home to visitors who can drop in and see the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on display in the home and also see where the artist creates the art. The tour also gives members of the public an opportunity to chat with local artists about their work and also, if a certain piece of art is appealing, to even acquire that piece of art.
This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. Artists taking part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour include Diane Dean, Bernice Wills, Vera van Baaren, Josie Braden, Judy Dana and, of course, Frances Taylor. The Stittsville Artists Studio Tour website at www.stittsvillestudiotour. com has a map showing the location of the six artists involved in the tour: Josie Braden at 19 Glen Abbey Court in Amberwood; Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court and Bernice Wills at 7 Plainfield Court, both in Amberwood as well; Frances Taylor at 13 Kintail Court; Judy Dana at 37 Shipley Crescent; and Diane Dean at 181 Hartsmere Drive. Those taking the tour can visit these artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes following any route and timing that they wish. In that context, this is very much a selfguided tour. There is absolutely no cost to take part in the tour. The art-
ists very much appreciate your interest and welcome one and all. The Stittsville Artists Studio Tour is organized by the participating art-
ists themselves, with each artist volunteering to take on certain duties related to the tour to ensure its success.

Munster United Church’s heritage goes back to 1823 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - 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 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 JOHN CURRY/METROLAND deeded property to the trustees of the Wesleyan Munster United Church on Munster Road in the heart of Munster can trace its Methodist Methodist Church in Canada. The local trustroots back to 1823 when the first Methodist circuit rider/preacher served the area. ees, 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 showed 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.

News - Sunday, Oct. 27 is the day to be at Creekside Gardens in Richmond. That’s because it will be Fall Family Day with a full day of
ets will be available at the door on the evening of the concert…The Richmond Co-operative Nursery School is currently looking for new premises somewhere in the village. It has had no luck to date of locating any such premises, given that it has to leave its current premises at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street at the end of the current school year. It already is paying more rent for these premises this year than in previous years, putting pressure on its finances. Already investigated as possible sites to no avail have been the Richmond Plaza, South Carleton High School and the Richmond Memorial Community Centre. The Richmond Co-operative Nursery School has been operating in Richmond for over 30 years. It provides programming for youngsters aged 2 to 4 years…The Casa Di Zia Mia Restaurant on McBean Street is getting a new exterior look after new sheeting with a pink/beige tinge is being applied….A new taller sign for the Richmond Plaza has been erected along Perth Street at the plaza entrance…A red banner identifying 6688 Franktown Road just west of Richmond as the “Future Location of Fo Guang Shan Temple” has been erected at the entrance to a roadway which has been cut out of the forested property. This Buddhist temple is the initiative of the International Buddhist Progress Society of Ottawa…
fall activities planned, with all proceeds going to support the Richmond Food Bank. It all begins at 9 a.m. when the regular Farmers’ Market at Creekside Gardens opens. At 11 a.m., there will be a pumpkin carving contest while at 1 p.m., there will be a pie baking contest.

Rezoning to encourage Earn Extra Money! Keep Your Weekends Free! pedestrian friendliness John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - A proposed new zoning for much of Hazeldean Road from Iber Road west to West Ridge Drive in Stittsville is meant to move the street away from automotive-related uses and to make the street more pedestrian friendly in the long term A feature of the proposed new zoning would be new rules on how buildings along the street would address the street and how these buildings would relate to other buildings around it. For instance, there will be no minimum front yard setback so that a building can be built right up to the street. This means that development along this stretch of Hazeldean Road can mirror the type of development which is now found on the north side of Hazeldean Road from Huntmar Drive/Iber Road east to the Carp River. There is also a new 15 metre height allowed but the existing 11 metre height would remain in force for any buildings within 20 metres of a residential zoned area. In addition, the new zoning would acknowledge any existing business and any such existing businesses such as gas bars or the Fringewood North mobile home park would retain a zoning allowing that use. This would not be non-conforming rights but would be zoning rights allowing that specific use.
But the new zoning, termed “AM7 subzone” by city of Ottawa planners, will not permit gas bars, service stations or automobile dealerships. Existing ones along this stretch of Hazeldean Road will retain full zoning privileges but no new ones will be allowed. Much of the south side of Hazeldean Road from Iber Road west to Stittsville Main Street Drive will not have this new zoning because of the residential nature of the area. One exception is the large vacant parcel of land between Fringewood Drive and Cabotto’s Restaurant which will receive the new zoning. On the south side of Hazeldean Road from Carp Road to west Ridge Drive, this new zoning will be implemented but the height allowed will remain at 11 metres as at present. This is because city planners feel that there is not enough depth to these lands to allow for higher buildings while still maintaining the required 20 metre setback from existing residential property. This height restriction might not apply for the property right at the southwest corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road. The former Stittsville Flea Market property on the north side of Hazeldean Road east of Carp Road will receive this new zoning for the first 150 metres from Hazeldean Road. This proposed new zoning is only implementing a zoning that more or less conforms with the Arterial Main Street designation which Hazeldean Road has in the city of Ottawa’s Official Plan.

News - The youth amateur talent contest at the 2013 Richmond Fair may have changed locations but the outcome was still the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great entertainment by an impressive lineup of talented youth. Due to the wet ground conditions on Fair Sunday, Sept. 22 due to the all-day rain on the previous day, the youth amateur talent show was relocated from the outdoor stage on the fairgrounds to the upstairs hall at the arena. Winners included singers, fiddlers and even a busker. In the 12 and under age category, 11 year old singer Jaycee Corriveau from Barrhaven placed first. Second place went to singer Katherine Colbert, 12 years old, and also from Barrhaven. Reid Warren, a nine year old fiddler from Metcalfe, placed third. In the 13 to 21 age category, Breanna Nyitrai, 16, a singer from Winchester, was the winner. Richmond fiddler Elly Wedge, 15, placed second while Paul Campbell, a 16 year old busker from Woodlawn, was third.

Last second goal leads to loss John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sports - What a difference 1.7 seconds can make! The Stittsville Royals were 1.7 seconds away from victory in their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game against the Shawville Pontiacs at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon, Sept. 29. That’s when the visiting Pontiacs scored to tie up the game at 55, sending it into overtime. And it was only two minutes and five seconds into overtime that the Pontiacs scored gain to gain the victory in the game. Aw, but for that final 1.7 seconds in regulation time, the Royals would have skated away with a 5-4 victory. It was Shawville which opened the scoring in the game, taking an early 1-0 lead which the Pontiacs carried into the second period. But then the Royals struck for three straight goals to take a 3-1 lead with only a little over eight minutes gone in the second period. Scoring for the Royals were Tanner Knight, Liam Watson and Joey Laird. Picking up assists were Jermy Nichols with two and Tanner Knight. But, talking about three goals in a row,
the Pontiacs then came back with three straight goals of their own before the period was over to take a 4-3 lead into the third period. Steve Genier of the Royals then scored two goals to give the Royals a 5-4 lead. This is how it stayed until the last second heroics by the Pontiacs which tied up the game and set the stage for overtime and the eventual winning goal by the visiting Pontiacs. Assisting on Genier’s two goals in the third period were Talmadge Farnes with two assists and Jordan Cale and Tanner Knight with one assist apiece. The Royals were playing this game shorthanded as four players were sitting out suspensions as a result of a fight-filled game last Friday against the Renfrew Timberwolves in Renfrew. Jason Shaw faced 33 shots in this game, giving up six goals. The Royals had 36 shots at the Shawville net. Shawville had six power play opportunities, scoring on none of them. The Royals had ten power play chances but failed to score on any of them. Talmadge Farnes of the Royals was selected as the second star of this game while Liam Watson earned third star honours. In the fight filled game last Friday, Sept. 27 in Renfrew against the hometown Tim-
berwolves, the Royals did come home with a 5-2 win. The Royals scored the only goal of the first period, a power play marker by Jake Oliver assisted by Jordan Cale and Tanner Knight. The Renfrew Timberwolves tied it up early in the second period and then scored another goal halfway through the period to take a 2-1 lead into the third period. The third period, though, was all Royals as the Stittsville squad scored four straight goals including three in the last two minutes and 11 seconds, to gain the 5-2 victory. Joey Laird with two, Jordan Cale and Kyle Killeen scored for the Royals in this third period outburst. Picking up assists were Talmadge Farnes and Kyle Killeen, both with two assists, Tanner Knight, Jake Oliver and Jack Chudleigh, all with one assist. Both teams had 35 shots on the opposing net in this game. Patrick Kealey was in nets for the Royals in this game. The next home game for the Stittsville Royals is this coming Sunday, Oct. 6 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville when the Arnprior Packers are coming to town to face the hometown Royals.
Two Warriors capture awards Special to the News

Dylan Parry
awards. They are the fourth and fifth Bell Warriors players to capture such awards this season even though the season is only five weeks old. Both of these recent award winners play for the Bell Warriors bantam team (ages 15-16). Dylan Parry has been named NCAFA Overall and Offensive Player of the Week. This is thanks to scoring three touchdowns in the Warriors game on Saturday, Sept. 21. Sheldon Thomas, also of the Bell Warriors bantams, was named NCAFA’s Defensive Player of the Week due to his numerous tackles and also an interception which he returned for a touchdown in the Warriors 57-0 win over the Kanata Knights on Saturday, Sept. 21. These two Bell Warriors – Dylan Parry and Sheldon Thomas – join three other Warriors players in capturing these NCAFA awards so far this season.

Sports - The South Carleton High School Storm girls field hockey team has turned things around after a season-opening loss. The Storm began the season with a 30 loss to Mother Teresa High School in a game on Friday, Sept. 20 at the Minto Field at the Nepean Sportsplex. On Tuesday, Sept. 24, the Storm battled Bell High School to a 1-1 tie.
are the other players to capture NCAFA awards this season. Bell Warriors Football Club president and coach Paul Stewart is high with his praise of these two latest NCAFA award winners, Dylan Parry and Sheldon Thomas. “I’ve had the privilege to coach Sheldon every second year that he’s been with the Warriors since his first year at tyke. He always has a smile and has always been willing to do the jobs no one else would. He’s a great team player,” Mr. Stewart says. “Dylan Parry is one of the most modest athletes I’ve coached despite the fact that he may be one of the best receivers I’ve ever been involved with and now he has evolved into a jawdropping running back. He’s an undeniable talent and like Sheldon, he is a pleasure to coach. They reflect what NCAFA and the Warriors are all about and I couldn’t be happier for either boy for being this week’s NCAFA Player of the Week,” Mr. Stewart continued. The Bell Warriors Football
Then, the next day, Wednesday, Sept. 25, the Storm scored a 1-0 triumph over Woodroffe High School in a game at South Carleton in Richmond. The Storm have three games remaining in the regular season, with the opponents being All Saints High School, A.Y. Jackson Secondary School and Mother Teresa High School.

Join us in keeping kids safe Andrew recalls being babysat by his older brothers regularly since his parents were rarely home; they each had two jobs. The family didn’t have a lot of money and so they didn’t have a lot of food; Andrew didn’t even have his own bed sheets. At school, other kids looked at him differently; his clothes were always too big and he didn’t always bring a lunch. Andrew remembers how embarrassed he was and how he would pretend being sick so he wouldn’t have to go. “Anne, my 5th grade teacher is my unsung hero,” Andrew notes. “She was the one who called the Children’s Aid. My parents are not bad people; they never hurt me and always told me how much they loved me. They just needed a little help, and the Children’s Aid was able to do that.” October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention month. With circumstances such as Andrew’s, it’s important for the public to be aware of the signs of abuse and neglect. In an effort to reach out to the community, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) would like to increase the general public’s comfort when thinking of reporting suspicions of abuse or neglect. “People feel it’s hard to invade on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Executive Director Barbara MacKinnon. “When reporting to CASO, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child away from their home. It’s about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.” More than 90 per cent of cases where CASO become involved, work is done to help the family. “While it’s in the public’s best interest to report on the signs, it’s not their responsibility to determine if a child is being abused,” MacKinnon says. CASO does that for the community. “We want the community to trust that we will do the work to figure out whether additional assistance is needed,” says MacKinnon. “But the first step comes with calling”.

All Saints High School, both with three points after three games. Mother Teresa High School leads the division with six points on three straight wins. Bell High School is next with two wins and a tie for five points. Next come All Saints and South Carleton, tied with three points. Woodroffe High School has one point while A.Y. Jackson Secondary School has yet to pick up a point after three games. The SCHS Storm have scored two goals while allowing four goals in their three games to date.
The Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa encourages parents to talk about this awareness with their children and invites the community to get involved.

Dreams come true at Walt Disney World Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com
News - The classic Cinderella’s castle at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in Florida made the little girls gasp and mouths drop open. “This way to the princesses,” said the guide, an elderly man who told the girls to call him Grandpa Joe. The six little girls, members of a group of children selected from across the Ottawa area including from Stittsville, Kanata, Nepean, Manotick, Orleans and Smiths Falls to travel from Ottawa to Orlando, Fla. with the Dreams Take Flight program, wasted no time making their way across the amusement park, stopping only to point at the rides and Disney characters. “You look enchanting,” one of the little girls said to Princess Aurora. “It’s so romantic,” said another. The girls were just some of the 110 local children who travelled with Dreams Take Flight, a Canadian program that takes deserving children from a variety of backgrounds on a trip to Disney World. Several children on the Sept. 24 flight had a sibling with autism or their own medical issues. Others live in foster care, or their family’s income prohibits trips like this. But Dreams Take Flight allowed the children to fly, eat, spend a day a day at Disney World and pick out a special souvenir to take home thanks to donations. The program was started by Air Canada staffers, who volunteer their time – including the pilot who flew the day trip’s plane – to take children in small groups around the park. Most of the kids had never been on an airplane or outside Canada. Many of the children agreed that it was one of the best days of their lives. Hunter Donnelly-McPhail’s mom saved

The volunteer flight crew, dressed in Disney costumes, made him an honourary flight attendant for the day. He followed the attendants up and down the aisles as he handed out chips and candy. None of the children had ever been to Disney World, but almost all of them were eager to ride the roller coasters. Splash Mountain was easily the children’s favourite ride. Towards the end of the day, as a train full of Dreams Take Flight kids and volunteers cruised into the end of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, it was clear that the kids were having a special day, as cheers of “dreams take flight” echoed through the boarding area. Taequan Moise was all smiles the entire day, from the time he arrived at Disney World waving at the volunteers, to the plane ride home when he was one of the only children awake on the plane ride home. Taequan said he could probably stay home from school to rest after the 20-hour day trip, but he wanted to tell his friends about his day. “I would tell them about the rides, but about the food mostly. Fries, burgers, hot dogs,” he said. The kids had an early start to their day, arriving at the airport at 4 a.m. at a private hangar. They travelled in style, receiving a police escort straight to the theme park once arriving in Orlando. They received VIP treatment: fast passes that ushered them to the front of lines on all the Disney rides throughout the day and a brand BRIER DODGE/METROLAND new outfit of donated shoes from Crocs and Adam Sourges, from Nepean, left, sits with Stittsville’s James Mielke, centre, on the tea clothes from Mark’s Work Wearhouse.

Five storey building???

Special to the News
News - A five storey building at the corner of Perth and McBean Streets in Richmond? This was a possibility suggested by city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt at the September meeting of the Richmond Village Association (RVA), saying that he had been approached recently with the suggestion. The site would include the properties from the Richmond Bakery west to Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chip Wagon. Councillor Moffatt admitted that some of the landowners had not even been approached yet with the proposal. He said that the proposal, when presented to him, was for an eight or nine storey tall building. He suggested, in response, that a five storey building might be more appropriate, although even that would be high. However, the nearby Hyde Park development does have a building of such a height now under construction. Councillor Moffatt wanted feedback from the RVA on whether such a building would be acceptable and appropriate at that site in the village. The RVA felt that more information about the proposal would be needed before any appropriate comment could be made on the suggestion.
News - Corn on the cob went over big at the Richmond Fair this year. And thanks to the success of the endeavour, the Richmond Food Bank is going to benefit by $306. This is amount of donations given to the Food Bank by those who got to enjoy the free corn on the cob which was given away in the antique area on the fairgrounds. This was the first year that this happened. About 48 dozen cobs of corn were devoured on Fair Sunday. If the Saturday had not been a washout on the fairgrounds due to the steady rain all day long, corn on the cob would have been sold on that day as well and even more money would have been raised for the Richmond Food Bank. This was the idea of Mary Montgomery who organized the event. Allen and Judy McLellan from Franktown provided the steam engine which provided the hot water in which to boil the cobs of corn. Judy McLellan, Mary Montgomery, Wendy Wilton and Danny Houlahan all husked the corn and looked after serving the cobs. The corn itself was donated by Ken Stuyt of Fallowfield Tree Farm. It is the plan to repeat this free corn-on-the-cob initiative again at next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Richmond Fair due to the success of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort.

Historical Society to tour Goodwood Masonic Lodge News - You can tour one of the most historic buildings in Richmond at the upcoming October meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. It’s the Goodwood Masonic Lodge or Temple which will be the site for this Historical Society meeting on Saturday, Oct. 19 at 1:30 p.m. Members of the Historical Society are urged to attend as well as any members of the public who wish to take part in this rare public tour of the Masonic Lodge on McBean Street. There will be a tour of the premises as well as a presentation by members of the Goodwood Lodge. There will also be refreshments served. The Goodwood Masonic Temple which stands on McBean Street in Richmond, across from Richmond Public School, dates back to 1919, but Masonry in Richmond goes back to the very first years of settlement. For the first three years of Richmond’s existence, 1818, 1819 and 1820, those who were Masons among the early settlers met under the auspices of a military Charter or Warrant which had initially been issued in 1798 and had since that time been cancelled in Ireland, but this did not deter the Richmond settlers from using its authority for their Masonic activity. When it could not be legalized, the Masons in Richmond applied for and received a Charter dated April 29, 1821, from The Grand Masonic Convention at Kingston. With this Charter, a Richmond Masonic Lodge came into being. James Fallon was the first Worshipful Master, with Garrett Fitzgerald as the Senior War-
den and Sergeant Andrew Hill as the Junior Warden. This early Masonic Lodge in Richmond met at the Masonic Coat of Arms Tavern which was where the Duke of Richmond had stayed and had attended a banquet on the night before he died after his visit to Richmond in 1819. This early Richmond Masonic Lodge ceased in 1846 and Masons in Richmond travelled to Kemptville or North Gower or Ottawa to attend Lodge meetings. Some joined Doric Lodge in Ottawa, and it is these Masons who eventually brought about the creation of Goodwood Masonic Lodge in Richmond as of September 29, 1863. This Lodge met initially at the Rielly Hotel, but in 1866, a Masonic Lodge room was rented from Patrick McElroy above his store at the corner of Strachan Street and McBean Street in Richmond. About 1880, the Lodge relocated to a wooden building owned by Hugh Rielly on Murray Street near Perth Street. The Goodwood Lodge purchased a vacant lot on McBean Street in 1912. It had been the site of a Methodist Church which had been built in 1877 but destroyed by fire in 1900. The Methodist Church then rebuilt farther north along McBean Street on the site of the present-day St. Paul’s United Church. In 1919, the present-day Goodwood Masonic Temple was completed and became the home of the Goodwood Lodge. After a century of Masonry in Richmond, there was finally a building expressly built to house the Masonic Lodge.
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
The Goodwood Masonic Temple, built in 1919, is located on McBean Street in Richmond. Masonry in Richmond, though, goes back to the very early years of the community.

ville, who was the volunteer recording secretary for the Friends of Hospice Ottawa Board of Directors, has now assumed the same duties with the new Hospice Care Ottawa Board of Directors. Kathleen Sterling of Richmond, a former Friends of Hospice Ottawa Board member, is now serving on the Hospice Ottawa West (HOW) campaign committee. Friends of Hospice Ottawa was founded in 2004 but its roots date back to 1996 when Sylvia House Hospice began. It was developed to meet the needs for hospice palliative care services in the west Ottawa communities but had to cease in 2003. A small group of concerned citizens did not want to see the area go without any palliative support services and so started Friends of Hospice Ottawa to continue serving clients who needed palliative and hospice care. Friends of Hospice Ottawa expanded its programs and services over the years, adding a day hospice in Richmond and new programs such as its bereavement support program. On Jan. 1, 2013, Friends of Hospice Ottawa amalgamated with The Hospice at May Court to form Hospice Care Ottawa, allowing hospice palliative care services to be enhanced and broadened across the city of Ottawa.

News - The past year was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;momentousâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;excitingâ&#x20AC;? by speakers at the first annual general meeting of Hospice Care Ottawa on Thursday, Sept. 26. But it was executive director Lisa Sullivan who put it best when she exclaimed at the beginning of her remarks at the AGM: â&#x20AC;&#x153;But wow, what a year!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have accomplished so much,â&#x20AC;? she said before recounting what has taken place in the last year including the merger of Friends of Hospice Ottawa and The Hospice at May Court on Jan. 1, 2013 to create the new Hospice Care Ottawa organization. She noted that the new Hospice Care Ottawa now has three locations, namely The Hospice at May Court, the New Central West Hospice at Embassy West on Carling Avenue and the Kanata office. Soon the newly acquired McCurdy property in Kanata will become office space and a day hospice with plans to open a residential hospice at the site by 2016. But Ms. Sullivan noted that hospice involves much more than buildings, noting how all those involved with Hospice Care Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; staff, volunteers, partners and the Board of Directors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; consider it a privilege to be able to help people in their last days or years of
life to improve the quality of that life through hospice programs and services. She said that the new Hospice Care Ottawa has opened the Embassy West site, has purchased the McCurdy property in Kanata and has made improvements at the May Court hospice. She noted that a new Board of Directors was created with new bylaws, about 30 new staff, both full and part time, have been hired, over 65 new volunteers are being trained, a new staff training program has been implemented, a new medical advisor has come on board, the organization has a new name, over $1.6 million has been raised by various fundraising events and almost $3 million of the $6 goal in the Hospice Ottawa West (HOW) fundraising campaign to create a residential hospice at the new McCurdy site has been raised. But Ms. Sullivan had even more positive news in her message. She noted that Hospice Care Ottawa was meeting the needs of people in the community. A total of 163 people were hospice residential clients over the past year. The organization served 275 clients via its inhome programs. One hundred and four clients were served in the day hospice programs. Over 1,000 people benefitted from the community support

West Ottawa in new high performance league Special to the News
Sports - The West Ottawa Soccer Club has received one of the founding franchises for the new Ontario Player Development League (OPDL). The West Ottawa Soccer Club draws its players from Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata and West Carleton. These initial franchises were awarded after an extensive RFP selection process.
This new Ontario Player Development League is the first standardsbased high performance soccer league for players of distinction set up in the province. Its first season in 2014 will focus on U13 girls and boys competition. For the 2015 season, the U14 age division will be added to the Ontario Player Development League program. “Since our inception in 2010,
“said West Ottawa Soccer Club chief executive officer Bjorn Osieck, “we have been driven by the vision of becoming one of Canada’s foremost player development organizations in keeping with the Canadian Soccer Association’s Long Term Player Development framework.” “Having the privilege of participating in the OPDL will be a vital addition to our Club-wide player development pathway,” he added.
West Ottawa Soccer Club president Brian Mason sees benefit in being involved with the OPDL. “Putting our aspiring players first and giving them an environment and opportunity to excel on their path to soccer greatness will continue to be at the core of our player development efforts,” Mr. Mason said. The inaugural 2014 season of the OPDL will include teams not only from the West Ottawa Soccer Club
but also the Ottawa Fury Soccer Club, the Ottawa South United Soccer Club, the Nepean Hotspurs Soccer Club, all in the Ottawa area, as well as teams from Aurora, Burlington, London, Hamilton, Kleinburg, Markham, North Toronto, Richmond Hill, Toronto, Unionville, Vaughan, Whitby and Woodbridge. The West Ottawa Soccer Club was founded in 2010 as an amalgamation involving soccer clubs in Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton. It is now the largest soccer club in the Ottawa area and the second largest club in the country.

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories Lifestyle - It was a complete mystery to me. I never thought much about it before Uncle Lou, with his usual feeling of compassion for Mother, installed our ďŹ rst telephone on the farm in Northcote. But once that beautiful oak contraption was hung on our wall in the kitchen, I was in complete awe of how someone not even in our house knew when we wanted to talk to someone miles away or they wanted to talk to us. That someone was right inside Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store. She sat on a padded chair in front of a big board with holes in it and long cords trapped in a desk-like affair in front of her. Usually, a light would come on, but sometimes a little bell would ring and she would know exactly what to do with those cords and the holes in the board with the red lights ďŹ&#x201A;ashing. Sometimes, Mr. Briscoe manned what was called the switchboard himself, but I have little memory of his voice coming into our oak phone on the kitchen wall. It was someone we simply called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Central.â&#x20AC;? The very ďŹ rst day we got the phone will stay in my mind forever. Mother cried. Not from
Connected to your community
Telephone â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Centralâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was a vital link between isolation and the neighbours
sadness, but from the sheer wonder of ďŹ nally being able to talk to someone at will beyond the four walls of our old log house. That ďŹ rst night, we sat around the kitchen waiting for the phone to ring. We sat in a circle as if we were in a theatre. Only Father wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that impressed. Finally, it came around to bedtime and it looked very much like the phone was not going to ring. It was Mother who decided, if no one was going to call in, she would call out. She went to the beautiful new phone, which I thought was every bit as nice as the new oak ice box grandfather bought for us, and took the receiver off the hook and pressed a little black button on the side of the box. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Could I please talk to Bertha Thom,â&#x20AC;? she said into the black mouthpiece. And there it was -- there was Mother talking to Aunt Bertha, just as if she was in another room and not across the Twenty-Acre Field on the next farm. When the phone was put in that day, we were told our ring was â&#x20AC;&#x153;two longs and a short.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take us long to know the rings of everyone else in Northcote. But it really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
matter if we knew the right rings or not, because â&#x20AC;&#x153;Centralâ&#x20AC;? was well acquainted with the rings of everyone for kilometres around. Having a phone was not without its problems. When it rang, it could be for any number of homes in Northcote. As many as four or even ďŹ ve other families shared the line. We soon found out you had to be extremely careful what you said on the phone because if they chose to listen in, everyone who took off their receiver were privileged to your conversation. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual to have your complete conversation repeated the next day at the General Store! Central always knew where everyone was. Sometimes when Mother rang a neighbour, Central would come on and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone into Renfrew to Walkers. She needed some lace trim for a blouse sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making. She should be back in a couple hours. Do you want me to ring you when she gets home?â&#x20AC;? Central was the lifeblood of the entire neighbourhood. If there was a ďŹ re, or any other emergency, somehow Central was able to ring all the farms at the same time, at least that seemed to be the case, because everyone responded in
time to give a helping hand where needed. Of course you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need Central if you knew the ring of the person you were calling. You just pressed the little black button on the side of the telephone and twirled the handle on the other side, giving the number of rings to reach whomever you wanted to talk to. And it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for Central to interrupt your call to tell you some important bit of news or to say someone else was trying to get the phone and would you please hurry and free up the line. Mother always felt safer once we had the phone put in on the farm. Some of the isolation she felt when she ďŹ rst moved to Northcote was gone. It was my sister Audrey who noticed it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not exactly like New York,â&#x20AC;? Audrey said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but for Mother it beats not being able to talk to another soul without getting out the horse and buggy or the old Model T.â&#x20AC;? Yes indeed. The new phone made a world of difference to our lives on the farm and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Central,â&#x20AC;? I thought back then, was just about the most important person in Northcote. She was that vital link between isolation and connection with a neighbour.

Bake sale and BBQ at Munster United Church Special to the News
News - Munster United Church in Munster is hosting both a bake sale and a BBQ this Sat-
urday, Oct. 5. The bake sale will run from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. while the BBQ will start at 11 a.m. and
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the water and rice. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes or until the water is absorbed. Remove the pan from the heat and let the rice stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Gently stir in the seasoned vinegar with fork. Then divide the rice into four portions and cover with damp cloths. Spray a grill pan or a grill with cooking spray. Remove the trout from the marinade and place skin-side down on the grill over mediumhigh heat. Cover with the lid closed for one to two minutes. Turn the fish with a spatula, then cover and cook for two more minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove the skin and sprinkle both sides with the toasted sesame seeds.
Place the sheets of nori on clean dishcloths or a bamboo sushi mat lined with plastic wrap. Dampen your fingers with water and lightly press one portion of the rice into thin layer to cover one sheet of nori, leaving a 2.5 centimetre (one-inch) section at the top edge without rice. Make shallow groove along centre of the rice and place a few slivers of yellow pepper and carrot inside groove. Top with one-quarter of the trout, broken into narrow pieces with your fingers, and a few sprigs watercress. Curl edge of the cloth/mat to help form the toasted nori into cylinder, pressing firmly to enclose filling, then seal the edge with water. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make four rolls. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces.
finish at the same time as the bake sale, namely 1:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend these events at the Munster United Church. There’s going
to be lots of goodies at the bake sale and who doesn’t love a BBQ where someone else is doing the cooking and you get to relax and enjoy the delicious barbecued food.
