‘All Aboard’ at Stittsville library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

It was “All Aboard” at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last weekend. That’s when Tony Chamberlain and his wife Carol Stephenson set up and operated a three-

train “0” gauge model railroad layout in the library’s meeting room. But it was more than just railway engines and train cars! Mini-villages with numerous buildings were set up, around which the trains ran.

Model train show set up in library’s meeting room Continued from page1

And given the time of year, the railway layouts had a Halloween aspect to them. There was a pumpkin patch building and one of the rail cars carried a load of pumpkins. To interest youngsters in closely examining these model railroad layouts, Tony had a scavenger hunt for them, giving them a list of 20 attractions in the layouts to locate. Successful hunters received a chocolate goodie, made possible in part thanks to the generosity of Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville. And what a list the scavenger hunt included! Attractions to be found included two skeletons dancing; a bridge made of skulls; five aliens standing in a row; a Grinch; Quidditch stadium for that Harry Potter wizard sport played on broomsticks; a headless horseman; a snowman; two minions; an outhouse; a witch riding a pumpkin; a blood fountain; Snoopy riding on a

pumpkin; a grim reaper; a T-Rex dinosaur skeleton; three witches stirring a pot; monsters playing cards under a tree; “James” the tank engineer; a polar bear; a clown food truck; and two skeletons barbequing. These largely Halloween-themed model railroad layouts are not the only ones which Tony displays. He has others such as one with a Christmas theme. Tony was participating in a children’s show at the National Arts Centre when he was asked by Ottawa Public Library staff if he would set up his model railroad layout at library branches. Since then he has set up model railroad layouts at the Centrepointe, Beaverbrook and other library branches. He has now been at the Stittsville library branch as well. Tony, who lives in Kanata, has a model railroad layout set up in his basement and also another one in the garage. His wife Carol Stephenson also enjoys model railroading but she likes setting up

the layout more than actually operating the trains. She came to the hobby late as she was interested in them in her youth but her parents directed her to dolls instead. However, she retained her interest in them which she is now able to pursue along with her husband Tony. This “O” gauge model train show at the Stittsville library, which was a free drop in program, was on display last Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 30, Oct. 1 and Oct. 2. “O” gauge for model trains is a commonly used scale in model railroading. Originally introduced by German toy manufacturer Marklin around 1900, this three-rail alternating current “O” gauge was the most common model railroad scale in the United States by the 1930’s and remained so until the early 1960’s. The decline in popularity was due to the introduction of smaller scales. The name “O” gauge is derived from “O (zero) gauge” because it was smaller

than Gauge 1 and the other existing standards. Gauge refers to the width of the model track. “O” gauge model railroad tracks typically have their rails space one and a quarter inches apart. Although Lionel is the most enduring brand of “O” gauge trains, a variety of manufacturers made trains in this scale. Prior to World War One, most toy trains sold in the United States were imported from Germany. A number of American companies made “O” gauge trains between the two World Wars, with Lionel, Marx and American Flyer rising to the top of the market.

Homes are being sought for two purebred Miniature Schnauzer puppies. Normally such puppies sell as pets for $1,400 each but these two puppies, a brother and a sister, are available for free to the right family. That’s right, you can get an 18 week old Miniature Schnauzer puppy at no cost. All you have to do is work with their breeder and current owner Louise Beggs who will want access to the dogs to show them for a couple of years and then breed them, after which the dogs become just lovable family pets for the rest of their years. Miniature Schnauzers normally live to be about 14 years old. Louise is looking for a show home for each puppy. One, a girl, is named “Queen” whose official name is Regency XCL’s Queen Victorius while the other, a boy, is named “King” with an official name of Regency XCL’s King Francis. Here’s how it all works: Louise had two litters of purebred Miniature Schnauzer puppies this past spring, with ten puppies in total. She has kept three of these ten for herself but two of them (“Queen” and “King”) will live in what is called a “show home.” Louise will still retain ownership of the puppies in the beginning years of this arrangement but they will live in the family homes. The dogs will be taken to Louise when she needs them for grooming and showing. Then, after they have made their mark in the show ring, they are used for breeding. However, when a female is about four years old, she is fully retired and simply becomes a loved family pet. A male retires as a stud at age six, also becoming just a beloved family pet. It is at this time that full ownership of the dogs will be given to the show home families. When a show home family first receives the puppy, the family is given the dog’s three generation pedigree. The dog will have been microchipped, have his or her full set of puppy shots, be fully vet checked and have been groomed in preparation to be shown at dog shows. The pair will have become used to other dogs and will love

Louise Beggs of Stittsville holds the two purebred Miniature Schnauzers for whom she is seeking a family show home. being around people. The dogs will arrive at the show home with a puppy care kit involving food, care instructions, a blanket scented with their litter, a tooth brush and more. The ideal family to be such a show home family is a family with experience with dogs and preferably with Miniature Schnauzers which, by the way, are non-shedding dogs. Being comfortable and loving toward dogs is a big plus. It would be ideal if the family were in the Stittsville area like Louise is. A fenced backyard would be preferred. The show home family must also be able to take the dog to Louise for showing or breeding as needed. These two puppies for which Louise is seeking show home families are very special dogs. They were bred from Louise’s first champion girl, Regency XCL’s Princess Anne with a prestigious male from Naibara Kennels in Calgary. Indeed, Louise and her son Ben flew with “Annie” to Calgary last March for the breeding where she was bred to Am Ch Can Gr Ch Naibara’s No Question (Quest). These two pups for which Louise is seeking show homes are both from the resulting litter of four. The puppies will be shown by Louise in local dog shows this coming spring. They will then be used for breeding to create more beautiful purebred Miniature Schnauzer puppies. For more information about these two Miniature Schnauzer puppies or about becoming a show home family, please contact Louise Beggs at 613-836-3126 or via email at louisebeggs@xplornet.com.

Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services opens John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

What’s in a name, you ask? A name, for example, such as Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services, a new full-service mental health clinic that has opened on Iber Road in Stittsville. Well, for starters, it’s a name that you won’t find anywhere else because it’s a name that Saterra’s founders and co-directors Dr. Vanessa Illing and Dr. Davina Bakerman created. Yes, that’s right – they made it up. Dr. Bakerman says that they wanted to find just the right name for their new group psychological and counselling practice, one that would reflect health, wellness and balance. So they turned to Latin for inspiration and created a totally new word, Saterra, which has not existed before, has no prior connotations and is easy to pronounce.

And does this matter, you may ask? Well, if such innovation and creativity can be shown in just naming this clinic, then there’s a good chance that same innovative, creative thinking will prevail in the daily work that goes on there. Indeed, just establishing this full service psychological mental health clinic in Stittsville is somewhat innovative and creative, perhaps even revolutionary, because most such clinics are located downtown in the city core, requiring suburban and rural residents to commute there for treatment and therapy. “We chose Stittsville for Saterra mainly because it has been desperately underserviced and we believe in the absolute necessity of making quality psychological services more easily accessible to those living in Stittsville, Kanata, Barrhaven and the surrounding Ottawa Valley,” says co-director and psychologist Dr. Bakerman. She said that people want quality psycho-

logical and mental health care but they need it to be convenient. Co-director and psychologist Dr. Illing agreed, saying that by establishing the clinic in Stittsvlle, she and Dr. Bakerman are taking the barrier of travel away from those who need the help that the clinic can provide. “Our vision was to replicate the larger, full-service practices you would find in downtown Ottawa for the growing but neglected west suburban areas,” Dr. Illing added. And the reaction of physicians in the area to having this Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services clinic in the area has been positive. “I think it’s helpful for physicians in our area to be able to refer patients to top notch services close to home, making it more likely for their patients to access the treatment they need,” Dr. Bakerman says. And the Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services clinic offers clients not only mental health and psychological services delivered by highly skilled professionals but also this happens in a somewhat unique environment as their second storey office location on Iber Road features lots of windows which let in the sunlight and which open up exterior views of trees and greenery.

Dr. Bakerman notes that environment plays a huge role in how a person feels and so if the office space can be bright with lots of natural light and with windows that open up the scenic exterior to the viewer, then there is a good chance that it will be a comfortable spot both for staff and for those being treated. And the individual rooms feature comfortable furniture, soothing wall colours and a certain spaciousness. It is not austere and clinic-like. Dr. Illing and Dr. Bakerman both confirm that Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services will continue to grow to meet the needs of the community as they become apparent. They will try to attract associates who can provide the services that the community needs. See SATERRA, page 7

Here comes Yarn Bombing Project at Goulbourn Museum on Nov. 13 John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Youth are wanted to take part in a Yarn Bombing Project at the Goulbourn Museum. This Yarn Bombing will be happening on Sunday, Nov. 13. An opportunity for youth to learn how to finger-knit and “cork” (also known as spool knitting) will take place on Sunday, Oct. 23 from 1p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Museum. Finished “corking” from this session will be used during the yarn bomb installation in November. The Yarn Bombing will be

finished and on display for the Museum’s “Old-Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market” on Sunday, Nov. 20. In the spring of 2017 when this yarn bombing is removed, the pieces will be donated to the Humane Society of Ottawa to be repurposed to make beds for animals. Volunteers are also needed to help with this yarn bombing project in other ways. Yarn is needed so you can drop off yarn balls of any size at the Museum. You can help by knitting or crocheting for the project. Pieces 8 inches by 12 inches

or 8 inches by 24 inches or 8 inches by 36 inches are needed. In addition, corking or i-cords can be of any length. Volunteers are also needed to assemble the pieces together for the yarn bombing. There is also a need for volunteer to help with the installation of this yarn bombing project on Sunday, Nov. 13. For more information or to offer your help, please contact Goulbourn Museum curator/manager Kathryn Jamieson at 613-831-2393. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville.

graduate school together, discovering that they both had the same vision for providing psychological and mental health services. They had similar views about clinic care and an approach to therapy. This led to them deciding to get together and establish and build such a practice. And this is what they are doing with Saterra Psycholoigical & Counselling Services. Current associates working with Drs. Illing and Bakerman at Saterra include Dr. Elisabeth Melsom who is a clinical psychologist, social worker Tina Carby and Jennifer Mariasine, who is a therapist and a doctoral candidate in school and clinical and child psychology. On Thursday, Sept. 29, Saterra Psychological & Counselling Services held an open house at its 120 Iber Road premises at which visitors received tours of the premises, were provided with information about available mental health and psychological resources, were able to meet Drs. Illing and Bakerman and their associates and got to enjoy food and refreshments. In addition, there was a draw for several gift baskets.

‘La Course des Patriotes’ on Oct. 29 Continued from page 1

He himself is as runner, having just participated in the Montreal marathon. He is hoping that as many people as possible turn out for the event and he hopes to see the event become a tradition at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais. Indeed, he hopes to see the event become student-run in future

years, giving them an opportunity to use the marketing and entrepreneurship skills that they are learning in a real-life situation. “I am starting the baby and I’m hoping they’re going to raise it,” he says about the birth of this new running event. For more information about this new “La Course des Patriotes” run, please contact Eric Brassard at brasser1@ecolecatholique.ca.

The open house also featured an official ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the opening of the new clinic. Drs. Illing and Bakerman both used scissors to cut a green ribbon which was stretched across the entrance door to the clinic. In her remarks at the ribbon cutting, Dr. Bakerman said that she and Dr. Illing were glad to be opening their clinic in the Stittsville/Kanata area and expressed happiness at the spacious premises which had been found. She also thanked the associates for joining in this new clinic. The website for Saterra can be found at www.saterra.ca. More information can be obtained by calling 613-831-8181 or emailing info@saterra.ca. Clients can self-refer by calling or emailing.

OPINION

Common sense holiday shopping

he Ontario Municipal Board quickly dismissed an Ottawa and District Labour Council appeal to quash the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to grant the BIA in the Glebe tourism district status that will allow stores in the Glebe to open on stat holidays going forward. As decisions go, it was a no-brainer. The labour council seemed to have a two-pronged argument. First, allowing retail businesses to operate on statutory holidays in the Glebe would be unfair to workers because they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to enjoy those holidays. The other argument was that the Glebe and Lansdowne Park development area should not be considered a tourist area. Concerning that second argument first â&#x20AC;&#x201D; really? Were they actually serious? The OMB dismissed that argument by simply stating that Lansdowne Park and the Rideau Canal, in the Glebe, are indeed tourist attractions within the meaning of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Retail Business Holidays Act. That appears to be a very reasonable decision. On the surface the stickier argument is the whole unfairness to workers argument that they may not get these holidays if they work in the Glebe area. But last time we checked, the calendar said the year is 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and while we know that Ontario had to dragged kick-

ing and screaming into the modern world when Sunday shopping was first allowed times have changed and the way people live nowadays is a lot different than it was in the past. Nowadays many people are happy to be able to shop even on stat days if they can. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to that in this city in the ByWard Market and Rideau Centre for a while. That they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elsewhere seems silly. Some people worry that with the Glebe getting this special status, other areas of Ottawa may come forward and seek the same for their areas as well such as the Centrum shopping complex out in Kanata. Well, why not? Many restaurants are open on stat days. Some places, such as Tim Hortons outlets, never seem to close. This coming Thanksgiving stores that wish to remain open in the Glebe â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that is the key as it is a now a choice rather than government fiat that says you can or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be open for business. And residents of the city, from one end to the other, can go shopping there on that day if they want to do so. Imagine that, having a choice as a business owner and a shopper. Who knows but this radical idea of having a choice may actually catch on.

Feds vision of pot legalization of hazy

hings arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going all that well in the legalizing marijuana department. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny that no one antici-

pated it. It may be that some kind of 1960s consciousness blinded the decision-makers. Marijuana would be legal, no one would have to go to jail, sweet little hippies would grow it and sell it and everybody would go around wearing secret smiles. Meanwhile, the world would marvel at what a hip and progressive place Canada was. So far it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worked that way. The sweet little hippies are nowhere in evidence. Their place has been taken up by fast-moving entrepreneurs who have set up dispensaries on seemingly every corner, including some corners that are perilously close to schools. At the moment this seems to

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town contradict the position taken by the federal government that legalization will somehow make marijuana less available to children. Oh, and by the way, the state of Colorado, where marijuana is legal, has banned the sale of gummy candies laced with THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. Marijuana gummies. Who knew? To complicate matters, some of the products being sold have been found to contain pesticides and fungicides. Since the sale of marijuana is still technically illegal (legislation to legalize it is expected next spring)

no mechanism exists to ensure proper government testing. The federal government, whose brainchild marijuana legalization is, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be doing much about this. The health department, with the peculiar logic of which governments are sometimes capable, explains its inaction on these findings by answering that the dispensaries in question are illegal. This leaves the question of enforcement in local hands. Some local police forces have cracked down on what are essentially illegal outlets and some have not. You can hardly blame them for being confused. Those that have not cracked down reason that it is silly, and costly, to enforce a law that will be obsolete in a few months. Those that have cracked down believe that, health risk or no, it is simply wrong to allow people to flout the law.

Someone might have thought all this through before legalization became an election promise. Belatedly, the government did start thinking. It appointed a task force on legalization. Probably wisely, the task force was made to include some folks who might not be totally onside. That included Anne McLellan, a minister of justice in the former ChrĂŠtien government. A couple of weeks ago she told the CBC that it is not realistic to think legalizing marijuana will keep organized crime out of the game. She also acknowledged other social and health-related problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are risks involved here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody should naively go into this project without understanding that there are risks.â&#x20AC;? The risks might include reported evidence that the brains of young smokers are particularly vulnerable. Perhaps those risks and the social and criminal risks can be overcome â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not without recognizing that they exist. From all the evidence to far, it EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 5IFSFTB 'SJU[ UIFSFTB GSJU[!NFUSPMBOE DPN NEWS EDITOR: +PIO $VSSZ KPIO DVSSZ!NFUSPMBOE DPN REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: +PIO #SVNNFMM KPIO CSVNNFMM!NFUSPMBOE DPN

appears that laws are being broken and unsafe products are being made available to the public while the government looks on. While we wait for the fog to clear and the haze to begin, it is worth considering the example the government is setting for the young people it so eagerly seeks to involve in public service.

Nominations for Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers wanted John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is looking for nominations of outstanding volunteers in the community. He is seeking these nominations as he has been given the responsibility of selecting six such volunteers in the Stittsville ward to receive the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers which is presented by the Office of the Governor Gen-

eral of Canada. These six outstanding volunteers from Stittsville will be among 150 volunteers from across the city who will receive the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers in 2017 which is Canada’s 150th anniversary year. For this anniversary year, the city of Ottawa is partnering with the Office of the Governor General of Canada to recognize 150 outstanding volunteers in the city. The Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers rec-

ognizes remarkable volunteer achievements by Canadians. It has replaced the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award, carrying on the spirit of the Caring Canadian Award by honouring the dedication and commitment of volunteers. Councillor Qadri believes that there is no better way to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary than by recognizing outstanding volunteers in the community. He himself can select six award recipients from the Stittsville ward.

The deadline for submitting nominations of outstanding volunteers in the Stittsville community to councillor Qadri for consideration for a Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers is Friday, Oct. 14. Nominations should be sent to Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. An awards ceremony at which these Sovereign’s Medals for Volunteers will be presented is being planned for National Volunteer Week which takes place from April 23 to April 29, 2017.

‘Forever Friends’ sings at luncheon John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

with a couple of Vera Lynn wartime favourites, and you have the basis of a great performance. And this is what the group “Forever Friends” did in providing entertainment at the September luncheon of the Friendship Club. The trio – Geoff LaHaise, Sharon LaHaise and Jim Smyth – finished off its performance with “We’ll Meet Again,” Vera Lynn’s 1939 song that became one of the most famous and remembered songs of the Second World War. Earlier in the performance, the trio sang another well known Vera Lynn wartime song, “The White Cliffs of Dover,” which the English singer released in 1942. But this performance was more than just wartime remembrance songs. Those at the luncheon heard “Ramblin’ Rose,” a 1962 hit for American singer Nat King Cole; Elvis Presley’s 1956 hit “Don’t Be Cruel,” which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002; “Knock Three Times,” the 1970 hit for the American pop music group Tony Orlando & Dawn which became one of the group’s signature hits; and the classic “I’m Looking Over A Four Leaf Clover,” a song

written by Mort Dixon which was a hit in 1927 and then again in 1948. Mort Dixon, who is in the Songwriters Hall of Fame, wrote other classic standards like “That Old Gang of Mine,” “Bye Bye Blackbird,” and “The Lady in Red.” A humourous moment in the performance came with the singing of the 1979 Bellamy Brothers hit “If I Said You Have A Beautiful Body (would you hold it against me?)” with Geoff LaHaise and Jim Smyth cuddling together, much to the delight of the Friendship Club audience.

Heads Up Barber Shop now doing ladies’ and girls’ haircuts It all came about after Frank had visited their hairstyling school to give a talk about barbering. Rachel and Mackenzie decided to take Frank up on the offer to teach them proper barbering techniques, realizing that although their hairstyling school

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

was first rate, it did not teach about cutting men’s hair. Rachel says that she felt that Frank would be a good mentor and she wanted to learn from an experienced barber like him. So she and Mackenzie joined the staff at the Heads Up Bar-

ber Shop, with Frank providing them with the training and advice needed to become confident barbers as well as hair stylists. Rachel notes that there is a difference in cutting men’s and ladies hair, as cutting men’s hair involves different hand positions

The Heads Up Barber Shop in Stittsville has gone co-ed – in more ways than one. The shop in the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street now has two female barbers in addition to owner and veteran barber Frank Olszynko and barber Nour Khaoule, a Syrian refugee who recently joined the shop. But even more importantly, the Heads Up Barber Shop is now doing ladies’ and girls’ haircuts, all at competitive prices ranging from $13 to $23. There is no styling or perms offered, just cuts. Owner Frank Olszynko says that he decided to “change with the times” and while he has doubled the size of his staff at his Heads Up Barber Shop, he has also doubled the customer base by adding cuts for ladies and girls. And with Stittsville continuing to grow and expand, he is confident that the business will continue to grow as well. Both of his new female staff members – Rachel Durst who lives in Stittsville and Mackenzie (KenJOHN CURRY/METROLAND zie) Grant who is from Perth - are graduate hair stylists who have now Beside a sign advertising the Heads Up Barber Shop at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street in learned barbering techniques under Stittsville are the barber shop’s hair cutting staff (from left) Mackenzie (Kenzie) Grant, Nour Khaoule, Rachel Durst and owner Frank Olszynko. the tutelage of Frank Olszynko.

and more use of a comb and scissors. Mackenzie points out that a barber needs more confidence in working around the face than is usually the case when cutting ladies’ hair. She notes that a barber cuts eyebrows, nose hair and ear hair, something that does not happen in cutting ladies’ hair since ladies look after these additional chores themselves. Rachel says that she was nervous about cutting men’s hair initially but now she has the confidence to do it, adding that cutting men’s hair involves a lot of scissor work and precision cutting. Frank Olszynko notes that there is a huge difference between the tools used in women’s hair cutting and styling and barbering. The tools of barbering involve an assortment of combs, for instance. Barbering also involves trimming beards and shaving the neck. The Heads Up Barber Shop also now has expanded its hours of operation. It is open from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. every weekday and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays. The price of a men’s haircut is now $11.50 plus tax. The Heads Up Barber Shop will be offering its annual Remembrance Day free haircuts for veterans and military personnel, running from Nov. 1 to Nov. 11. This will be the second straight year that the Heads Up Barber Shop has offered this sign of appreciation to veterans and military personnel.

A committee of seven Amberlakes residents was formed last July with Howard Healey as chair and with members Tunde Gondocz, Leonard Foley, Guy Fortier, Ray Legault, Edna MacKenzie and Gary Page. This committee discovered that the city of Ottawa had no responsibility for this signage. The committee reviewed various options and requested quotes from five sign companies. The committee evaluated the quotes and recommended the option of reusing the letters off the former sign, powder coating them and installing them directing on the wall.

The previous sign, dating from when the Amberlakes community was built by Larco Homes in 2001 and 2002, had featured these letters imposed on a scenic painted backdrop. However, despite remedial repairs to this sign over the past six years by Amberlakes residents, the sign had continued to deteriorate with the paint flaking and peeling off. Something had to be done to repair, replace or remove the sign. The Amberlakes community was canvassed via email to solicit volunteers willing to investigate various options and costs regarding the repair or replacement of this

Yakstrong 5K run held in support of Mark Yakabuski family John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Over 200 runners registered in advance for the 5K run last Sunday, Oct. 2 to support Stittsville resident Mark Yakabuski and his family. Mark suffered a spinal cord injury in a golf cart accident on Saturday, May 21. He is expected to leave the rehab facility in October to return home to Stittsville to his family and friends. All participants received a Yakstrong run t-shirt, with those who had pre-registered receiving them at

the run while registrants on the day of the run would be receiving the tshirt later. With a rainy drizzle falling, this Yakstrong 5K run followed a route going through the Kanata North Tech Park. The starting location was at the KRP Community Hub near Legget Drive and Solandt Road just off March Road in Kanata. Following a warm up, runners hit the course at 10 a.m with slower runners and walkers following. Donations were also be collected at the event with all funds raised going directly to the Yakstrong fun-

draising efforts. You can register or make a donation by visiting www. yakstrong.com. Yakstrong was created as a symbol of support for Mark and his family as they deal with this difficult situation in their lives. A logo featuring two crossed hockey sticks and the wording “YAK Strong” has been developed as it reflects Mark’s passion for the game of hockey, both as a player and as a coach.

Funds are going to be continued to be raised through www.yakstrong. com via yakstrong swag such as tshirts, ball caps and rubber bracelets and donations, future events and fundraising. An initial fundraiser was held last June 25 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville which proved extremely successful, showing the huge amount of support that is out in the community for Mark and his family. This support is a reflection of the impact that both Mark and April Yakabuski have had on so many in the community. Right now attention is being directed to the costs related to Mark returning home from the rehab facility.

These costs are very high so financial support from the community is essential so that Mark’s family does not have to worry about the cost but can focus on what matters most, family and Mark’s recovery. Mark Yakabuski, a father of three, has been involved with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association for the past ten years. In the 2015-2016 season, he was coach of the competitive Major Peewee team. Mark himself played in the Central Junior Hockey League with both Brockville and Kanata and later went on to play with the Ottawa 67’s. He has played in the Stittsville Town Hockey League of which his brother Matt, also a Stittsville resident, is the current president.

DRYDEN, Isabel M. October 7, 1991 25 years Just a thought of sweet remembrance, Just a memory fond and true, Just a token of affection And a heartache still for you. Though our thoughts are not revealed, Little do they know the sorrow That is within our hearts concealed. The Dryden Family

WILSON, Linda â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In loving memory of our dear wife, mother & grandmother who passed away 5 years ago on October 7, 2011. What would we give her hand to clasp, Her patient face to see, To hear her voice, to see her smile, As in the days that used to be. But some sweet day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet again Beyond the toil and strife, And clasp each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand once more, In Heaven, that happy life. Lovingly remembered, John & family.

New manager at TD Canada Trust John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Brenda Bond is the new manager at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville. She has worked for TD Canada Trust for nine years, first as a financial advisor and then in branch management. Born and raised in Ottawa, she has worked in all parts of the city. This Stittsville branch is the fourth branch at which she has been the manager.

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

We placed an offer on a house, which was accepted by the sellers. The agreement is conditional upon a satisfactory home inspection. The house was built only a few years ago and we are considering waiving our right to a home inspection. If we do, what rights do we have if we discover some deficiencies in the house after the closing date? Buyer Beware The law in Ontario is pretty clear: “let the buyer beware”. Unless there is a fraud, misrepresentation or mistake made by the seller, the buyer takes the existing property as he finds it. Therefore, most of the time the buyer can’t make a claim against the seller for any deficiencies discovered after closing. The general rule is that there is no obligation to disclose any defects that the seller is aware of. The only exceptions to this rule are serious hidden defects. Hidden defects are those that are not discoverable by a reasonable inspection. Further, such defects have to be serious enough to either affect the integrity of the house or render the house unfit for human habitation. Hidden defects are also those defects that the seller is trying to conceal. Representations and Warranties The sellers of residential real estate in Ontario are not obliged to provide any representations or warranties to the buyer.

About Allan Snelling

Home Inspection A proper home inspection performed by an experienced home inspector is the best way to protect you from any unpleasant surprises. While a home inspector might not be able to identify all defects, especially hidden ones, it is the only way to learn what you are buying and to make an informed decision about one of the most important purchases of your lifetime.

Trip to Canada’s North at Diocesan Altar Guild meeting John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

For those attending the Diocesan Altar Guild annual meeting on Saturday, Oct. 1, it was a trip to Stittsville where St. Thomas Anglican Church was hosting the event. But everyone at the event experienced a lot more than their drive to Stittsville as they were also taken on a trip to Canada’s North thanks to guest speaker Frances Macdonnell. The retired organist of Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa has visited the Diocese of the Arctic four times, most recently this past August when she was one of a group of 33 including nine teens who travelled to Iqaluit, the capital city of Nunavut located on Baffin Island. Nunavut is the home of St. Jude’s Cathedral, the Anglican Cathedral that is the seat of the Diocese of the Arctic. Informally known as the Igloo Cathedral

because it is shaped like an igloo, it was rebuilt after an arson fire in 2005 which destroyed the original building built by volunteers in 1972. It cost $9 million to rebuild, with only $400,000 still remaining to be paid off. Ms. Macdonnell called St. Jude’s Cathedral the most beautiful building in the Arctic, adding that it features indigenous art inside. Having visited the Arctic four times including one visit to the western Arctic, she compared the western Arctic where there are trees, industry, mining, roads and lots of employment with Nunavut which has no trees, very little industry, no roads and little employment. She explained that the cost of housing is high while the cost of fresh food is incredibly high even though it is subsized by the government, meaning that many children are undernourished. She noted that Iqaluit, a town of 8,000 people, is a young town in that the median age is 25 years old. Her most recent visit to Iqaluit this past August included a group of teenagers as they helped run a free week-long music day camp for children there. Adults on the trip worked at the local food bank and at a soup kitchen. See ST. THOMAS, page 35

St. Thomas Anglican Church hosts Diocesan Altar Guild meeting Continued from page 33

The teens developed lasting friendships with the local teens in Iqaluit and it is hoped that these Iqaluit youth will pay a return visit to Ottawa next year. However, money is needed to finance such an initiative. During their time in Iqaluit on this trip there, Frances and the group saw the Nunavut legislature where decisions are made by consensus. They also toured the Iqaluit hospital where all babies on Baffin Island are born. They visited the original Hudson’s Bay Company buildings which are still standing at what was once called Frobisher Bay (now Iqaluit). In addition, they witnessed throat singing, observed Inuit artists at work and demonstrated square dancing. During their visit there this past August, the sun shone every day with the temperature ranging between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius. There are no trees but there are lots of rocks and water. There are no flower gardens, Frances explained, but despite this Nunavut is very beautiful. She explained that both personal friendships and church relationships were formed on this trip and that everyone wants to go back again in the future. It is, though, costly with the airfare being $2,000 per person, quite a difference from the much lower airfares which govern travel to vacation spots in the sunny south. There are many needs in Iqaluit but everything costs money. Many of the clergy receive very little salary because there is just not the money available to pay them. There is a need for a deep water port at Iqaluit, something which has been promised but has not yet become a reality. She also showed a short video which showed some of the highlights of this trip to Nunavut last August. This presentation about Canada’s North and Nunavut followed the annual meeting of the Diocesan Altar Guild which was held at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville this year since this is the 150th anniversary year for the parish.

This anniversary was acknowledged by Diocesan Altar Guild president Debbie Tweedle from St. Helen’s Church in Orleans who wished St. Thomas a happy 150th anniversary. “One hundred and fifty years is absolutely awesome,” she commented to the over 100 delegates attending the annual meeting. A roll call of the various deaneries represented at the annual meeting took place, with deaneries such as Arnprior, Carleton Place, Lanark, Central Ottawa, Ottawa East, Ottawa West, Stormont and West Quebec being represented. A deanery is a geographicallybased group of Anglican parishes. The minutes of the 2015 annual meeting at St. John’s South Anglican Parish of March in Kanata were read and a treasurer’s report was presented. Reports included a report about the current Diocesan calendar project and also a report by president Debbie Tweedle who reported that the Diocesan Altar Guild had been successful in the past year in finding new homes for some unused altar linens, vestments, chalices and other items. It was determined that the 2017 Diocesan Altar Guild annual meeting would be held at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa, to be followed by St. James Church in Carleton Place in 2018. The 2019 meeting will be hosted by Trinity Anglican Church in Cornwall which will be marking its 235th anniversary that year. The annual meeting at St. Thomas Anglican Church was preceded by the celebration of the Holy Eucharist presided over by Bishop of Ottawa the Rt. Rev. John Chapman as celebrant and preacher. He was assisted by Rev. Jane McCaig, the rector at St. Thomas Anglican Church. Don Gillen was the organist for the service. Assisting in this liturgy were Arlene Simonovich, server; Tanya Drew, chalice; Hilary Shouldice, reader; Mary Passmore, intercessions; Gary Graham, projectionist; and Marlyn Powell and Hilary Shouldice, sides people. An offering of $684.30 was collected in this liturgy with these funds to be donated to

the Anglican Diocese of the Arctic, one of several suggested causes. A lunch was held in the parish hall at St. Thomas Anglican Church following Frances Macdonnell’s presentation about the Diocese of the North. An altar guild in each Anglican church looks after the preparation of the altar and

altar table for various aspects of worship. This involves preparing the sanctuary for worship and maintaining and caring for the church’s sacred vessels, altar linens and vestments. The arrangement of flowers and candles as well as the selection of seasonal colours and hangings fall under the duties of the altar guild.

A piano, a cello, a violin, an oboe, lots of bells and, oh yes, voices will all be featured in the upcoming “Fall Rhapsody” concert at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad.

Tickets are $15 per person with children under 16 years of age admitted free. Tickets may be purchased at the Trinity Presbyterian Church or at the door on the day of the concert. For more information, please contact Trinity Presbyterian Church at 613-836-1429.

Library Month activities at Stittsville library Special to the News

October is Library Month which means a number of special activities at Ottawa Public Library branches across the city including at the Stittsville branch on Stittsville Main Street. During October the Ottawa Public Library is asking patrons to “fill in the blank” on an artful, colourful, open-book shaped card either in branch or online, sharing something that they have discovered at or through the library. At the end of October, photographs of these “Discover Notes” will be used to create a digital mosaic image, providing a picture of the ways in which the library inspires, connects and open doors to discovery for people of all ages. Library patrons are also being invited to explore the local library branch like never before and hunt

for a special bookmark hidden within the branch on Saturday, Oct. 22. Library patrons are also going to be encouraged to find the poetry in book titles by using book spines to compose a short poem as part of a Spine Poetry Facebook contest running from Oct. 20 to Oct. 28. At the Stittsville branch as well, a “Design An Art Cover” program is being held during the month of October. Open to youth from ages 13 to 19 years, this program involves selecting a teen item such as a novel, audio-visual or graphic novel and creating an art cover for it. The art medium selected is open to all possibilities but the size must be large enough to fit like a book jacket or film insert. All submissions will be displayed at the Stittsville library along with the library item that inspired the cover art. www.edwardjones.com

150 more trees in Richmond thanks to TD Canada Trust John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Richmond has 150 more trees thanks to TD Canada Trust’s TD Tree Days. On Saturday, Sept. 24, more than

40 volunteers from the community joined Richmond’s TD Canada Trust branch manager Derek McKellar in planting 150 nears near Chanonhouse Park in Richmond. Among those assisting were nearly 30 youth including those from the 2nd Stitts-

ville Guides and from the 55th Nepean Brownies. This was the second straight year that a TD Tree Day planting was held in Richmond. This year marked the seventh annual year for TD Tree Days in Can-

ada, an annual tree planting program that brings together TD employees, their families and friends and volunteers from the community to help make the environment greener. This year these 150 trees in Richmond are among 50,000 trees being planted in more than 150 community tree planting events being held in September and October. TD Tree Days are part of the TD Forests initiative which was launched in 2012 by TD Bank Group. TD Forests is the first program of its kind at TD, bringing together under one initiative the bank’s long standing community programs related to forest conservation and education along

with a major conservation initiative. TD Forests works to grow urban forests and green spaces, protect critical forest habitats and encourage the responsible use of forest products. TD Friends of the Environment Foundation provides funding to help sustain grassroots environmental programs across Canada. Since 1990, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation has supported over 23,000 projects with over $70 million in funding. This funding includes funding for schoolyard naturalization and energy conservation projects, for tree plantings and for environmental education.

Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line West Light Rail Transit Extension – City of Ottawa The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report (EPR) in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Western Extension of the Confederation Line Light Rail Transit Environmental Assessment study.

The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further west from Tunney’s Pasture Station to Bayshore and Baseline Stations, as well as a developing a Maintenance and Storage Facility in the Nepean-Woodroffe corridor, south of Norice Avenue. The purpose of this project is to provide a higher level of transit service to growing communities in the west and southwest of the city, a need identified in the City of Ottawa’s 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan will add 13 kilometres of rail and 10 LRT stations to the City’s overall transit network at Westboro, Dominion, Cleary, New Orchard, Lincoln Fields, Iris, Baseline, Queensview, Pinecrest, and Bayshore. The plan will also connect directly to the West Transitway and the Southwest Transitway to facilitate connections to the communities of Kanata and Barrhaven. Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment along Richmond Road and Byron Linear Park, Lincoln Fields Station, Iris Station, and Bayshore Station. These changes have no significant additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, improve construction staging conditions, improve transit user experience, and have been incorporated into the EPR.

The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EPR prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The EPR for the Confederation Line West LRT Extension will be available for a 30-day public review period starting September 29, 2016. Please note that the Draft EPR has been available for public review during the 120 day Notice of Commencement phase, which began on June 2, 2016. The final EPR is available at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

Sanitary sewer pipe in Richmond repaired In March and April of this year, residents were informed of the City of Ottawa’s Water, Sewer and Stormwater Rate Structure Review. Over the course of those two months, we shared much information on the matter and you were very involved in these discussions. Once again, I would like to thank everyone who contacted me, submitted comments to the City and attended the public consultation sessions. The April 7th meeting held in North Gower was attended by approximately 250 residents. Your participation and input led to the eventual delay of the report so that your comments could be properly reviewed and taken into account. Since then, staff have been compiling those comments and working with members of Council on finalizing the report and its recommendations. This report, released on Monday of this week, will be presented to the Environment Committee on Tuesday, October 18th at City Hall. As you may recall from my March 16th column, this history on this issue is incredibly important and stems from amalgamation. Prior to amalgamation, residents across every municipality contributed to stormwater management. Some paid for it through their general taxes, some through a specific stormwater rate and others as part of their sewer bill. The transition board overseeing the implementation of the amalgamated City of Ottawa commissioned a report which provided recommendations on how an amalgamated city could assess properties for stormwater costs. That report recommended cost collection through either the general tax rate or a specific fee charged as a line item on your tax bill. In April of 2001, the Council of the day chose neither. With no explanation given in the minutes of that meeting, Council voted unanimously to shift all stormwater costs to the water and sewer rate. This meant that some residents who used to pay for it no longer did and it also meant that residents who had always been paying for it started paying more. For fifteen years, that is the system the City has been using. The consultations held in the spring laid out proposals to move away from that system and create a new rate structure where those who receive a service pay for that service. The main objective was to collect $42M across the City through a new stormwater fee, shifting those costs away from the water and sewer rate budget. Of that total, $8M is the amount of money spent on stormwater maintenance in the rural area. The feedback on that proposal was met with much opposition and plenty of input. This brings us to the proposal that is before us today. The financial details of the proposed rate structure are available at Ottawa.ca and also in a half page ad in this newspaper. The proposal includes a tiered approach in assessing properties for stormwater management. The tiers are based on level of service provided. For village residents on water and sewer in communities like Manotick, Richmond and Munster, you will only notice a change in how your bill is presented. There will be a moderate reduction in your bill on an average of $2/month. For property owners on private services, the proposed fee would be $4/month. This is something that you don’t currently pay and it would be paid annually on your tax bill (agricultural and forested lands will be exempt). This is down from the $6 or $7 per month proposal that was floated in the spring. The report also proposed a phasing in of the charge over four years, meaning you would not pay the full amount until 2020. The total amount collected through this charge will be $2M which will go directly toward the $8M spent annually on rural stormwater services. During the consultation meetings, we also heard concerns about other matters such as infilling of ditches. When all residents contributed toward stormwater services, many of us were permitted to fill in their ditch provided it did not impede drainage. That permission was removed in 2003. As a result of what we heard, the report will recommend a review of the Ditch Alteration Policy with a view to develop a process to, once again, permit the infilling of ditches. This policy review will come to Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee in 2017. You will likely hear this a few times in the coming weeks but this proposal is not perfect. There simply is no perfect way to collect fees on the basis of fairness. Each and every property contributes differently. Short of any perfect solution, we have the proposal before us. Thanks to your involvement earlier this year, the proposal is better than it was and I appreciate the way you ensured your voice was heard. This report has been released a week earlier than normal so that we all have an opportunity to look at it and digest the relevant information. Please take some time, have a look at the proposal and feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. As mentioned, please also review the ad in this newspaper. I sit on the Environment Committee and will be there on the 18th of October. If you’d like to address the Committee on this issue, you may do so by emailing Christopher.Zwierzchowski@ottawa.ca. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott. Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

This hole had been identified through routine camera inspection of the sewer which the city conducts. Once the hole was spotted and identified, steps were taken to undertake repair of the hole. The hole is right where the sewer forcemain from Munster crosses the Strachan Street sanitary sewer pipe. It is felt that the hole in the Strachan Street sewer pipe likely occurred when the Munster forcemain was installed above it.

Since the hole in the sanitary sewer pipe was located in the top portion of the pipe, it is felt by the city that no A long standing rupture of a sanitary sewer waste water would have leaked from pipe in Richmond has been repaired. it except in the very rare occurrence The work, which has now been completed, when the system was experiencing full took place at the intersection of Cockburn flow.

He promised to investigate and it was his office staff which eventually tracked down what the work was all about, providing the information on Tuesday, Sept. 27. Tim van der Horn, a Cockburn Street resident, was concerned about the work being done, especially since it might have been a leak in the Munster forcemain, something that was dreaded by many in the community when the forcemain was initially installed. He approached the work site, talking to the workers and even taking some photos of the work being done. He was told that it was maintenance work that was being done. He disputes the city’s claim that it SUBMITTED was a small hole in the pipe, believWorkers are down in a hole as they work on repairing a sanitary sewer pipe hole at the ing that it was about one third of the corner of Cockburn Street and Strachan Street in Richmond. sewer pipe that was shattered. He was concerned because there was no notification given to nearby residents about the nature of the work being done. This led to worries and concerns that the work might be involving the Munster forcemain which runs along Cockburn Street on its way to the sewer pumping station on the south side of the nearby Jock River. Mr. van der Horn brings up the dreaded name of Walkerton and does not want what happened there to happen in Richmond. He knows that his well water changes in taste and smell from time to time. He also notes that there are shallow dug wells in Richmond which are susceptible to pollution from sewer leaks. John Curry

Repainted mural put back up on side of Richmond arena John Curry john.currty@metroland.com

The Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery on the exterior of the Richmond arena is once again complete. A mural depicting the railroad serving the village of Richmond, originally done in 2006 by artist Stephen Sammon of Bells Corners, was taken down a year and a half ago because of its deteriorating condition including peeling paint. The Richmond Village Association contracted with the original artist, Stephen Sammon, to restore the mural to its original condition. Well, the repainted mural was finally put back up at its spot at the northwest corner of the exterior of the Richmond arena on Thursday, Sept. 29, with a two member crew of Blair Brown and Andrew Stoll from Golden Triangle Signs using a ladder and a bucket truck to re-assemble the five-panel mural on the side of the arena. Each panel is the size of a four by eight foot piece of plywood and must be bolted with screws to a wooden framework on the side of the arena. This eight foot by 20 foot mural shows a steam en-

gine, a crowd waving from the platform of the Richmond station and passengers arriving via a stagecoach that ran from the centre of Richmond to the railroad station situated along the new railroad track just south of Ottawa Street and east of McBean Street. This railroad first began running in 1914. This mural was initially formally unveiled in a ceremony at the beginning of the 2006 Richmond Fair. There are currently six murals in the Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery on the exterior of the Richmond arena. The Richmond Village Association has plans to add a new mural in 2017 and again another one in 2018, contingent on receiving appropriate funding from different levels of government. The first mural of the Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery, unveiled in Nov. 2000 and designed and painted by artist Becky MarrJohnson of North Gower for the Richmond Village Association, depicts the clearing of the original Richmond Road through dense forest from Richmond Landing on the Otta-

wa River to the Jock River three miles downstream from Richmond. The mural shows the discharged officers and soldiers cutting trees with the Chapman homestead along the Jock River in the background. While this was the first historical mural erected, the mural project actually began just before the year 2000 Richmond Fair when a Richmond Village logo was erected in the centre at the front of the arena. The second historical mural of the Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery, unveiled in Aug. 2001, gives a bird’s eye view of the Richmond settlement in the year 1825, centred around the intersection of Strachan Street and Cockburn Street. The mural was also done by artist Becky Marr-Johnson of North Gower. The third mural of the Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery, unveiled in June, 2002, depicts Richmond celebrating Canada’s Confederation in 1867, showing a parade on July 1, 1867 passing through the intersection of Strachan Street and McBean Street and

This mural was also painted by North Gower artist Becky Marr-Johnson. The fourth mural and last one on the east side of the Richmond arena features a scene from the Richmond Fair circa 1910. The mural shows the old Agricultural Hall which was on the fairgrounds until it was demolished in 1980 to make room for the present Richmond Curling Club building and also shows the former grandstand which used to be on the fairgrounds. This mural, also painted by North Gower artist Becky MarrJohnson, was unveiled on Canada Day, July 1st, 2003. The fifth mural erected was the railroad mural done by artist Stephen Sammon in 2006 and then repainted in 2016 and re-erected last week. The sixth mural in the Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery highlights the Second World War and honours those from Richmond and Goulbourn who served overseas. This mural, done by Richmond artist Karen Xarchos, features a montage of images and scenes showing three types of aircraft that Richmond native Flight Lieutenant John Wilburn Garland would have flown in the Second World War. Flight Lieutenant Garland received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his wartime airborne exploits. See RICHMOND, page 43

Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery Continued from page 42

The mural also features images of troops marching off to war, a photo of John W. Garland and his father in uniform in 1941, the Distinguished Flying Cross awarded to him, a photo of J.W. Garland next to a plane, the emblem of the Royal

Canadian Air Force No. 80 Squadron, a photo of J.W. Garland, his wife and father at the investiture ceremony where he received the Distinguished Flying Cross and a newspaper clipping showing the opening of the Richmond Memorial Community Centre in 1950,

built to honour the fallen soldiers of both the First and Second World Wars. Flight Lieutenant Garland’s story is meant to represent the courage and sacrifice made by all soldiers and their families in the Second World War.

New vice principal at South Carleton High School Bethany Walker Special to the News

South Carleton High School has a new vice principal this fall. Ms. Mary Saunders has been taking the first month in her new position to experience the welcoming community that exists

at South Carleton among both students and staff. She has found students being extremely welcoming, even coming up to her in the halls to introduce themselves to her. Her first teaching job was working with male inmates at the Kingston Penitentiary. After that, she taught math and was head of student services learning support at Earl of

March High School in Kanata. Ms. Saunders feels that being vice principal at South Carleton is the next step in her career development. She loves teaching as she is able to influence the minds of youth, helping them discover their talents and passions that will help them in their career options in the future. She enjoys observing the way that the minds of teenagers work, noting that they are in the prime time of their growth development, allowing them to be creative and full of ideas. Ms. Saunders grew up in the Carp area. She is married with two boys, ages 12 and 10.

Rosemoor Garden is sharing article John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Garden. Rosemoor Garden employs 20 full time gardeners and there are about 50 volunteers who also help out at Rosemoor Garden. The Rosemoor Garden in North Devon in England is a public display garden, one of four major gardens run by the Royal Horticultural Society. In 2009

Rosemoor Garden, which opened to the public in 1990, saw nearly 130,000 visitors. The garden has two very distinct areas. One area is the original garden which is a diverse collection of plants in an informal setting. The other part of the area is the “new” garden which is a formal decorative area in a woodland setting.

The folks at the Rosemoor Garden in North Devon in England are sharing last week’s Stittsville News article about John Soar’s visit there last February on their Facebook and Twitter pages. John Soar told about the February visit to Rosemoor Garden that he and his wife Ann enjoyed at the recent September meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. Richard Mulford, marketing and public relations manager for Rosemoor Garden, sent the following email to the Stittsville News on Wednesday, Sept. 28: “Our press office has picked up your amazing article about John Soar’s visit to RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) Garden Rosemoor in North Devon, England. We just wanted to say thank you for spreading the word all the way across the Atlantic. We will share it on our Facebook and Twitter pages.” Mr.Mulford also included several SUBMITTED photos of Rosemoor Garden taken in the summer showing the rose gar- This is a photo showing Rosemoor Garden in England in full bloom dens and the hot garden at Rosemoor in the summertime.

Feast of creative writing at â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Gallery Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It was a smorgasbord of writing that saw a variety of stories presented, even including some poetry. And this feast of creative writing saw nine members of the Stittsville Creative Writing Group present stories, reading them out to their fellow writers and several members of the public who attended the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gallery Nightâ&#x20AC;? on Thursday evening, Sept. 29 in the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. And while all of these offerings were different in style, tone and subject matter, they all had one thing in common â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they were interesting to hear. It was like playing a series of â&#x20AC;&#x153;books on tapeâ&#x20AC;? one after the other, only in this case the reading voice was the writer as well. And so those at this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gallery Night,â&#x20AC;? both spectators as well as fellow writers, got to hear about a Mary Cook-style piece about a mother experiencing the onset of Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with her perpetual question â&#x20AC;&#x153;What day is it today?â&#x20AC;?; got to hear about a divorced health

care worker at a health care centre where she was having difficulty with another person, all of it an introductory opening to an as-yet uncompleted book; got to hear about a husband recalling the energy and appeal of Julia in their over 50 years of marriage and before, a Julia who has now lost her memory and is confused and old; got to hear the beginnings of a story about midwifery and a drunk Mr. Black, a story suddenly halted as the computer which was its writing page had to be given up, ending that session of creative writing; got to hear several shorter works including one about cheating on a husband but not willing to lie about it and another about being approached by a woman in a bar, a woman who on closer view was a man, leading

to a concluding sentence that left you wondering and wanting more, namely â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a he â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is perfectâ&#x20AC;?; got to hear an excerpt, you could say, of an ongoing writing project that is leading to a book called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four Thirdsâ&#x20AC;? with a story called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Librarianâ&#x20AC;? revealing the conflict between a girl and a librarian when the girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s claim to read eight books in only two weeks was disputed by the librarian; got to hear several poems including one with a humourous bent; got to hear from a new group member about a young girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of a cricket into the house; and got to hear a story about a cat and its owner and their early morning interaction, with the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assertion that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I happen to be fluent in cattish.â&#x20AC;?

For the week following this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gallery Night,â&#x20AC;? for example, these words were â&#x20AC;&#x153;excitingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;big.â&#x20AC;? But there is no requirement to use the two words that are provided in any writing presented to the group. Indeed, the writing being presented may be something written years or months ago or something written that very week. It depends on how many members of the group show up on a particular Thursday evening that determines just how long one writer can read to the group. At this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gallery Nightâ&#x20AC;? on Thursday, Sept. 29, each writer had nine minutes to set the stage for the writing, to read the writing and then to sum up the effort, if wanted.

Stittsville Creative Writing Group facilitator R.J. Partington (centre) leads a “Gallery Night” meeting of the group at the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public library on Thursday evening, Sept. 29.

Stittsville Creative Writing Group holds weekly meetings Continued from page 48

With a little bit of extra time at this “Gallery Night,” a special exercise was conducted, with everyone present – both group members and those sitting in the “gallery” – writing one line of what would hopefully become a sensible story. It began, like a Snoopy story, with the

phrase “It was a dark and stormy night” and went on to tell about a man with one eye, new friends hugging each other and sitting inside a locked car. And, oh yes, there was a Costco reference included as well! The Stittsville Creative Writing Group is a non-judgemental group of like-minded people who are in-

Hear about Irish in Ottawa Valley Special to the News

The Irish have left their mark on the Ottawa Valley over the years and you can hear all about it at the upcoming October 15th meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

That’s because guest speaker Terry Currie will be speaking on “The Irish Experience in the Ottawa Valley.” The Irish experience arrived in the Ottawa Valley in the early 1800’s, along with other cultur-

terested in writing and who meet once a week to read stories that they have written, either inspired by one of the suggested words for the week or by anything else that may spark an idea. This Stittsville Creative Writing Group, which was formed more than four years ago, holds its week-

ly meetings at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursday evenings from 6:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. Members come not only from Stittsville but also from Kanata, Carp and other locations. After this Sept. 29th meeting, members of the group retired to the Gaia Java Coffee Company

shop in Stittsville for some refreshments and conversation. In order to join this Stittsville Creative Writing Group, you must register with the library. For more information about this Stittsville Creative Writing Group, please contact Robert Partington at rj.partington1@gmail.com.

al groups such as the Scots and French Canadians. The Irish influence continues to this day, particularly in the unique style of step dancing, fiddling and song found in the Ottawa Valley. The Irish became the largest group to settle in Upper Canada in the 19th century. These immigrants included Irish

Protestant farmers and landless tenants who were attracted to the area for farming, lumbering and even working on the Rideau Canal construction. There were subsequent waves of Irish settlers including Catholics, all of whom have left their mark on the Ottawa Valley. Terry Currie will be addressing

all of this and more in his presentation which is open to everyone and is free to attend. The presentation will be taking place in the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Saturday, Oct. 15 starting at 1:30 p.m. Refreshments will be served following the presentation.

Alvin Stewart: Developer, businessman, farmer John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

F. Alvin Stewart of Richmond passed away peacefully on Monday, Sept. 26, 2016. Born in 1926, the son of a City View farmer, Alvin earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture from Macdonald College in Ste. Anne-de-Bellevue. He became a builder, developer and businessman in Nepean before establishing a dairy farm at Richmond. He was president of the Ottawa Home Builders Association as well as an active member of the City View Kiwanis Club. Bruce Elliott’s book “The City Beyond: A History of Nepean, Birthplace of Canada’s Capital 1792-1990” includes a number of references to Alvin Stewart and his involvement in the development of Nepean and specifically the City View and Merivale Road areas in the 1950’s and 1960’s. In1955, for instance, he constructed a new building for Fraser Fuels Limited in the Merivale Road area. Indeed,

he even became a partner with Don Fraser in an appliance business called Fraser and Stewart Appliances. Former long time Nepean reeve and neighbouring farmer D. Aubrey Moodie included several references to Alvin Stewart in his 2003 book “Spirit of Nepean” including his appointment as a member of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. Alvin was one of a number of developers who build up to 50 homes a year in the City View/Brook Lane/Meadowlands area of Nepean in these early years of suburban growth in the township. As land became more expensive for developers, Alvin was one of nine who pooled their resources as the Valley Land Development company. He was one of several who concentrated his house building efforts in Nepean, specifically in the City View/Merivale area. Other developers in Nepean at that time included Larry Armstrong, Ken Dale, the Kirk Brothers and Doug MacDonald. He constructed the City

View library on Rowley Avenue in 1957 and built a new building at Merivale S.S. 13 school in 1959. He was also a partner in the late 1950’s in developing the Grenfell Crescent commercial/ industrial area south of Slack Road in Nepean. Alvin opened a laundry on Norice Drive in 1963 which

grew to four locations within two years. He then sold the business to an employee, switching his focus to farming as he purchased farmland at Richmond where he operated a dairy farm. Alvin was an active member of the City View Kiwanis Club, chairing its park committee in 1957 when the Kiwanis was involved in trying to meet the demand for playgrounds and sports facilities in the growing suburban areas of Nepean. Alvin Stewart served as the assessor for Nepean township from 1951 to 1955. In his farming career, Alvin served as a director with the Ontario Milk Commission, the Ontario Milk Marketing Board and the Ontario Farm Products Appeal Tribunal. He was one of the Richmond area farmers who was involved with the site of the 1983 International Plowing Match which was held at Richmond, centered on the Garnet Ralph farm at Twin Elm. An avid fisherman and a founding member of the

doubt include the Ennis Sisters’ signature holiday hit “I’ll Be There Christmas Eve” from their 1998 album “Christmas On It’s a Christmas musical treat that Ennis Road.” You’ll also undoubtedly be you won’t want to miss! hearing their “A Children’s Winter” tribThe Ennis Sisters, a trio of songute to fellow Newfoundland musician the birds from Newfoundland, will be late Dermot O’Reilly who was best known for his involvement with Ryan’s Fancy, a popular Newfoundland Irish group. This concert will be a great way to kick off the Christmas season, featuring the award winning Ennis Sisters (Maureen, Teresa and Karen) who have won a Juno Award, a SOCAN Award, and multiple East Coast Music Awards and Music Newfoundland and Labrador Awards in their 20 year career. Their inspirational harmonies, humourous recitations, Irish step dancing and stage rapport will make for a memorable evening for all who attend. The Ennis Sisters have a number of albums to their credit, including “Red Is The Rose” in 1997, “Three” in 2000, “Ennis Sisters” in 2001, “Can’t Be The Same” in 2003, “Be Here For Awhile” in 2007, “Lessons Learned” in 2009,”The Fortunate Ones” in 2012 and “Stages” in 2014.

ecdote and heartfelt song. Proceeds from the concert will be going to the capital campaign at St. Philip’s Church which currently is completing the fundraising for the new entrance canopy now under construction at the church. St. Philip’s managed to arrange this appearance by the Ennis Sisters in Richmond thanks to assistance from Rev. Bill Penney, a former parish priest at St. Philip’s who is now at Our Lady of Visitation Parish in South Gloucester. A native of Newfoundland himself, he arranged for the Ennis Sisters to perform at his parish last year, resulting in a fantastic and enjoyable concert. Indeed, the Ennis Sisters are returning to Our Lady of Visitation Parish again this year, performing there on Saturday, Nov. 26, the night after the concert in Richmond. Tickets for this concert by the Ennis Sisters in Richmond are selling for $25 each and are available by calling 613-7625060 or emailing ennisst.p@gmail.com. Prompt action is recommended as there are only 325 tickets available and early sales are already brisk. The Ennis sisters were born and raised on Irish Newfoundland tunes. Their father is a traditional button accordion player while their mother grew up surrounded by music. This meant that throughout their childhood, the Ennis sisters were surrounded by music including Irish Newfoundland radio shows.

Entrants from Stittsville in District contests Special to the News

Stittsville Toastmasters Club entrants are winners at the District contest level. The newly chartered Stittsville

Club growing Special to the News

The Stittsville Toastmasters Club has now grown to 23 members. And more are always welcome! One of the Club’s newest members, Mathieu Boudreau, presented his ice breaker speech entitled “The Team” at the Club’s meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 28. And while Mathieu is a new member of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, he is not new to Toastmasters as he formerly was a Toastmasters Club member as he had joined to master English as he grew up as a Francophone. He has now re-joined Toastmasters to become an even better communicator. Theme of the Sept. 28 meeting was “First Steps” while the word of the day was “Destination.”

Toastmasters Club was represented at the District 61/Division B 2016 Area 11 fall contests for humourous speech and speech evaluation. This District contest was held at the IBM building in Kanata on Tuesday, Sept. 27, with members from various Toastmasters Clubs participating. Stittsville Toastmasters Club entrants Carla Gajdecki and Lorraine Kimbers emerged as winners in the humourous speech contest, with Carla taking second place and Lorraine

finishing in third place. Sandra Gloss of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club placed second in the speech evaluation contest. However, only the first place winners in each contest go on to the District 61 contests at the Toastmasters fall conference in Bromont, QC in November. Craig Deprez of the IBM Toastmasters Club was first in the humourous speech contest while Anthony Renaud of the IBM Toastmasters Club placed first in the speech evaluation contest.

There is an exciting project coming to Village Square Park that I am pleased to share with everyone. A new gazebo will soon call the park its home. Last fall, I asked residents for their ideas on strategic initiatives to be implemented in parks and this is just one of the many projects I have been looking into the possibility of implementing from those suggestions. I pursued this idea as the community has been asking for a performance area in this park for some time, and this gazebo will provide another feature in the park for outdoor events. The gazebo, which is 16x16 square feet, will be raised to provide a stage and it will be accessible to all residents with electrical connections available for power. The gazebo will be located in the eastern portion of the grass area of the Park as shown on below image. Last week, contractors began working on site laying out the area for the gazebo, excavating, and preparing the gravel base for the concrete pad. As work progresses according to schedule, the concrete slab and electrical work should be completed this week with the installation of the steps, site clean-up, and shrub/sod planting to be completed by October 10-12. The above work is scheduled to be completed by around Oct 12th, weather permitting with the official gazebo installation taking place the week of November 1st. Any planned events in the park in the meantime should not be affected as the ground work should be completed by that time. I hope that this timeline helps residents know what to expect in the upcoming weeks and I hope that everyone will be looking forward to the finished product as I certainly am. As the weeks continue, I will be happy to update residents in my newsletter should any timeline changes occur. Thanks to Residents As the summer months wind swiftly to a close, I would like to take a moment to recognize all of the unsung volunteers who contribute to keeping the village of Stittsville attractive-looking. Property maintenance can be a stressful endeavour after a long week of work, play, and physical exertion but it is one that is very much appreciated not only by your neighbours, but all members of the community who pass through. Though it may not be voiced, your efforts are certainly noticed. I would particularly like to thank those of you who extend their reach beyond their own property lines and into the community – The Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society who ensures our flower beds look great underneath the “Welcome to Stittsville” Signs as well as anyone who maintains the City portions of the property lines or goes that extra mile in ensuring litter is discarded appropriately. With the Tim Hortons Cleaning the Capital campaign well on its way this fall, these efforts are even more noticeable with community groups coming out in full swing. Over previous weeks, the Rotary Club of Stittsville and the Jackson Trails Community Association have cleaned up their areas, resident Tracey Haw organized a team clean-up at the entrance of Fringewood, A Lorne Cassidy students registered their team to clean up the school grounds and headed out last weekend was a group of family and friends cleaning up West Ridge and Beverly. My office will be taking part as well Friday, October 7th at Stittsville Main and Hazeldean Road from 12-3:30. I encourage any residents who are interested to join along with a group or even start campaigns of their own. You can do so here at Ottawa.ca. As autumn encroaches and the leaves begin to fall once more, I would like to thank residents in advance for their dedication to raking their bags of colourful leaves. Remember that leaf and yard waste is not to be mixed with regular garbage but alongside green bin items. Only use compostable paper bags, a garbage can (clearly identify that it is yard waste), or cardboard boxes when setting leaves out for collection. Thank you all for all you do to keep our community beautiful. If you know of anyone in particular deserving of recognition for cleaning up Stittsville, please contact me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca as I would love to hear about it! Always Listening

Proud to Serve You It is a privilege and an honour to serve as your Member of Provincial Parliament for the great riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills. If you are a constituent of this riding and you are faced with a problem that involves the Ontario provincial government, please note I am here to help you.

Government Spending Beyond its Limits The Government’s Bill 10 decimated the childcare industry and closed thousands of spots just to punish a few bad apples. Introducing more sensible reforms would have saved many spots and ensured improved, safer childcare. But the Government failed to do that. Now they are backpedalling clumsily away from their own disastrous policy. In the Government’s recent throne speech, Kathleen Wynne promised to create 100,000 more public daycare positions. That’s all we heard until Associate Minister of Education Indira Naidoo-Harris told reporters that these positions would cost somewhere between $1 and $4 billion. That’s a shockingly huge margin. I began wondering whether this policy had even been examined and approved by the Public Service. Does this Government expect Ontarians to ignore this level of vagueness? Associate Minister Naidoo-Harris is signalling a gigantic amount of spending. But the government is also promising to rebate about $1 billion for hydro. When you add all this up, it’s obvious that the government isn’t serious about respecting your tax dollars, and they aren’t serious about balancing the budget.

It was a real “7 to 1” weekend for the Richmond Royals of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. The Royals won both of their games by 7-1 scores – a 7-1 win over the Renfrew Timberwolves on Friday, Sept. 30 and then a 7-1 victory over the visiting Prescott Flyers at the Richmond arena in Richmond on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 2. And both 7-1 victories evolved in the same way, with the Royals spotting the other team the first goal and then roaring back with seven unanswered goals for the win. In the Sunday, Oct. 2 win over the

Prescott Flyers, the visiting Flyers scored the only goal of the first period, taking a 1-0 lead into the second period. But that’s when the Royals came alive, scoring five second period goals to take a 5-1 lead into the third period. The Royals scored two more goals in the third period to end up winning the game by a 7-1 score. Mike DiBello and Zach Cohen both scored two goals for the Royals in this game with Aaron Hickie, Matthew Sheets and Mackenzie Mercier picking up single markers. Jordan Boutilier earned three assists in the game while Jordan Currie and Aaron Hickie both had two assists. Single assists were earned by Matthew Sheets, Joey Laird, Josh Muldoon, Jack

Chudleigh and TJ Price. The Royals had 32 shots on the Prescott net in this game while Royals goalie Nick Bond faced 26 shots in the Richmond goal. The Royals took 12 minutes in penalties in the game while the Prescott Flyers were assed ten minutes in penalties. Neither team scored on a power play in the game. The Richmond Royals will play two home games on this coming Thanksgiving weekend. On Sunday, Oct. 9, the Royals will host the Winchester Hawks in a 1:30 p.m. game at the Richmond arena. Then, on Monday, Oct. 10, the Royals will play host to the visiting Perth Blue Wings in a 1:30 p.m. game at the Richmond arena.

Another two Richmond goals in the second period made it 5-1 for Richmond going into the third period. The Royals then added another two goals in the third period to finish with a 7-1 victory on

Football Huskies John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The Sacred Heart High School Huskies are alive and well this fall even though they are not playing in a high school football league. A low turnout of just 17 players in early September meant that the Huskies were unable to confirm participation in a league this fall. But the team kept practising and now is drawing up to 25 players out for practices under head coach Curtis MacNeil. Instead of playing in a league this fall, the Sacred Heart Huskies will be playing a number of controlled scrimmages against other high schools. This will include Glebe Collegiate which found itself in the same situation as Sacred Heart.

New entrance canopy at St. Philip’s Church vided free by Tom and Jeff Cavanagh of ish’s upcoming Ennis Sisters concert on Cavanagh Construction. Friday, Nov. 25. Some funds still have to The funds for the project have come be raised but it was decided to go ahead Construction is now un- from donations from parishioners as well with the project because the former conderway on the new entrance as some fundraising events like the par- crete pad and step at the front door were canopy at the front door of St. Philip’s Catholic Church in Richmond. The footings for the new canopy and concrete pad have been poured and the whole project is expected to be completed in a couple of weeks. The open air, steel framed canopy is costing about $75,000, with about $15,000 of this cost going for municipal fees and architectural and engineering design work for the project. The new entrance canopy has been designed by architect Ralph Vandenberg who is the architect who designed the Rev. Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at the church. Tom DeMarco, who was the general contractor for the parish hall project, is serving as the general contractor for this project as well, providing the JOHN CURRY/METROLAND service for free.

degraded and were presenting a safety hazard. This project all came about when the church was having a walkway to the rectory replaced. A quotation was sought at the same time for replacing the concrete pad and step at the front door of the church, a price which turned out to be in the $18,000 range. This prompted more thought about the matter and it was decided that if the old deteriorating concrete pad and step at the front door of the church were to be replaced, why not take the opportunity to install something better. This something better turned out to be an entrance canopy which would provide shelter from rain and snow and provide safer conditions when entering and exiting the church. The new entrance canopy and concrete pad will have railings and a sloped handicapped accessible ramp. A surround of interlock brick around the new entrance canopy area is a project envisioned for the future. It was the desire that this

new entrance canopy would be something that would complement the existing stone church building and be in keeping with the church’s historical appearance. And architect Ralph Vandenberg was able to achieve this with his design, coming up with a design that sees the entrance canopy blend in with and complement the church building while also providing improved and safer accessibility. He picked up the roof profile of the church and the steel frame will feature a grey finish in keeping with the stonework of the church building. Parts of the entrance canopy also reflect the shape of the Gothic arched windows of the church. All in all, architect Vandenberg was able to design something new but in a traditional way. St. Philip’s Parish of Richmond celebrates its 200th anniversary in 1819. The current stone church building was built in 1858 after the previous wooden church was destroyed by fire.

Audrey more than earned her quarter

MARY COOK Memories Old Herman was there again to make another plea to Mother. Herman was a bachelor who lived alone in a hut of a house, deep in the bush off the Northcote Side Road. Mother was only in his house once. She said that was enough to last her a lifetime. The first time Old Herman came to Mother with a request was to ask her do to his laundry once a week, a job, he said, that would pay handsomely. Those were his exact words. Well, money was scarce and any chance Mother had to make a few extra dollars was not to be ignored. Old Herman arrived with his laundry in a couple grain bags, and after tub after tub of boiling hot water and lots of slivered soap; the water was still black as your boot. Mother got out of that deal in a hurry. This time he came to see if my sister Audrey would be interested in making a few a bit of cash to tidy up his house because his sister was coming to visit and he didn’t think she would be too impressed with what she would find. Poor Audrey was never part of the discussion. Mother said she was sure she would be up to the job of putting his house in shape. Goodness knows she had lots

of experience with housework in our house. Audrey wasn’t too impressed, but the thought of earning a whole dollar for a day’s work won her over, and off she went with old Herman in his buggy on a Saturday morning. That meant most of the chores that day fell onto my shoulders. Well, the morning wasn’t half over when I saw Audrey walking down our long lane at such a clip; I thought she may have seen a bear. She slammed into the kitchen, her face was beet red from the long walk from Old Herman’s farm, and with a violent bang, she slapped a quarter on the kitchen table. “I quit,” she roared. Mother stopped stirring whatever she was stirring on the stove, and just looked at Audrey as if she had never laid eyes on her before in her life. “You quit?” I had my eyes on the quarter. “That’s right,” Audrey said. “I could hardly get in the door for garbage. Did you know he keeps his baby pigs in a box beside the stove? The smell would knock you over. And the dirty dishes were stacked sky-high and just about covered the table. I took one look at the greasy pans on the stove, and knew it would take an army to clean up the place.”

She paused for a breath of air. “As soon as I walked in the door, he handed me that quarter, and said he was going to the barn to do chores, and he would pay me the rest when he came in for his dinner, which he expected me to make too.” Listening to Audrey was like watching a movie at the O’Brien theatre in Renfrew. I was sure Mother would lace into her for quitting a job. Mother hated quitters. But she just listened, and made the occasional clucking sound and nodded as Audrey described the hut Old Herman lived in. Finally, even though the day wasn’t half over, and being a Saturday and all, which meant it was bath night, Audrey asked Mother if she would mind if she had her bath then and there. Mother filled the old oval tub with water from the reservoir, Audrey stripped right there in the kitchen, threw her clothes out into the woodshed, and sunk into the warm water. If Audrey had stayed the full day and came home with a whole dollar, it was understood that it would be handed over to Mother. As Audrey scrubbed herself raw with the face cloth and soap, Mother patted the quarter on the kitchen table, and said, “You can keep the quarter. Goodness knows you’ve earned it.” Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Hear from modern pilgrims John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

You can travel one of the world’s most famous pilgrimage routes without leaving Stittsville. That’s because modern pilgrims Money Dojeiji and Alberta Agraso will be at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Tuesday, Oct. 11 at 7 p.m. to give their personal insights and lessons learned from walking the Camino de Santiago, a pilgrimage route that was first walked in the ninth century and which became the most renowned medieval pilgrimage route. Today this route across northern Spain attracts thousands of pilgrims every year and has been named as one of UNESCO”s World Heritage Sites. In their one-hour presentation on Oct. 11, Money Dojeiji and Alberta Agraso will speak about pilgrimage and life lessons learned from walking. Everyone is welcome to attend this presentation but online registration is required at www.biblioottawalibrary.ca. During the Middle Ages, this pilgrimage route was highly travelled. However, the Black Death, the Protestant Reformation and political unrest in Europe saw a decline in pilgrims on the route. It was only in the late 20th century that pilgrim numbers rebounded, growing from only about 700 pilgrims in 1985 to over 150,000 in 1999 to over 260,000 in 2015. The main pilgrimage route to Santiago follows an earlier Roman trade route which continues on to the Atlantic ocean. Today’s pilgrims travel the route, mostly by foot but some by bicycle, for religious reasons or for other reasons such as travel or the challenge of walking in a foreign land.
