Music from Cuba john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Cuban flag was up at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville again last Friday. There it was, hanging inside the front window and forming the backdrop for another Gaia Java shop performance by Cuban musicians Omar Sicilia and Julio Cesar of the Cuban band “Kereya” which is the popular house band at the Covarrubins resort in Porto Padre in Cuba. The flag was in the same spot when the two musicians gave their first performance at the Gaia Java shop on Wednesday, Sept. 3. And just like at their first performance, while all of the songs were in Spanish, the infectious joy of Omar and Julio as they performed and the stirring tempos of their songs – some gentle, some rousing, some caressing, some loud – broke down any language barriers. It showed once again that music with its beats and rhythms has an appeal that is universal and goes beyond any specific language used. One highlight of last Friday’s performance was when the duo of Omar and Julio was joined by Virginia Alfonso, the band’s manager who made a rare singing appearance with them. Her vocal duet with Omar, backed up with Julio on the violin, added anoth-
er musical dimension to the evening. Another musical highlight of the event was an instrumental number which featured Julio on his violin. It started slowly but then Julio burst into a speedy, polka-like segment that brought energy and enthusiasm to the room. Then it was slow again followed by a faster tempo. It was fun, as evidenced by the big cheer that went up from the audience when the song ended. The music evening was a whole range of songs – some slower, some speedier, with even some audience involvement encouraged a couple of times. Omar, who writes all of the material, did the lead vocals while accompanying himself on the guitar. Julio not only played the violin in accompanying Omar but sang along at times (while still playing the violin). He even put down the violin a couple of times to play a pair of wooden sticks in accompanying Omar’s vocal offerings. On another couple of tunes, Julio plucked his violin strings as if he were playing a guitar – producing a unique staccato type sound. Omar and Julio were introduced at the beginning of this music evening at the Gaia Java shop by Bob Denney of Stittsville who has been instrumental in having the pair travel to Canada, arriving in mid-August. While in

exchange is meant to present Cuban culture and music to Canadians while Omar and Julio and their band manager Virginia Alfonso who is with them learn about Canadina culture. Mr. Denney hopes that this initial exchange will lead to a future exchange in which all of the Kereya band members can participate. He hopes that this exchange will grow the band’s fan base and bring about a future exchange in which the band can share its music with Canadians. The band “Kereya” plays a Trova style of music. This is a Cuban music style characterized by the travelling singer/songwriter tradition that is found around the world. Trovadores usually accompany themselves on the guitar. They are usually known for their strong poetic lyrics dealing with personal and social issues. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart Plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville holds music evenings every Friday at 7 p.m. There is free admission to these music evenings although early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

Sacred Heart student wins province-wide essay contest Continued from page 1
She decided to enter the contest after hearing about it in the announcements at the school. Although she admits that she did not initially know much about the public service, she decided to enter the contest. With the guidance of Sacred Heart teacher Ms. Amy Adams, she admits that she did a lot of research and worked hard on composing the essay. She argues in the essay that it is important to maintain a strong public service in Ontario in order to maintain the amazing quality of life which currently exists in the province and to continue caring for the well being of others. Things like public transportation, health care and education are all part of this public service picture. Anisa admits that writing the essay was very rewarding, saying that she had “learned a lot� from the experience. Submitting the essay last May, she had no thoughts of winning the contest as she says that she has never won
anything. Well, now she cannot say that because at the beginning of September, she heard that she had placed first in the contest and had won the $750 first prize. Anisa was born in Singapore but lived in Canada from seven months old to when she was five. That’s when her family moved to China for what was to be a one year experience but ended up being a ten year stay. In China, she attended an International School. She says that her family returned to Canada every summer to visit family here. She describes the Chinese people as happy and nice people. She has seen and experienced the Great Wall of China which was a must-see for anyone who visited her family in China. She admits that there are such spots in China that must be seen but she also notes that visitors should always go as well to the markets where people are interacting with each other. This past summer Anisa travelled to Uganda in Africa, accompanying a friend who has extended family liv-
ing there. The pair went as they wanted to do some service work which they did for a month at a Bahai temple, doing such tasks as mowing the lawns but also conducting prayer services. During their stay, they became involved in the village in which they spent their time, making friends with the children despite any language barrier. Anisa is now thinking that she may travel to India next summer on a similar service experience. Indeed, she might even take next year off from education to do a year of service, perhaps something to do with educating children. As for her post-secondary education following graduation this coming June, Anisa wants to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology at either Carleton University or the University of Ottawa, eventually going on to get a Masters Degree and PhD. She has always wanted to pursue psychology as she sees it as a way to help people and provide service to people – much like the public service does. She does enjoy biology and
math as she enjoys seeing how things work. She says that she likes anything to do with solving puzzles. Indeed, she says that she is looking forward to taking calculus.
Anisa plays the piano and guitar but just for her own enjoyment. The AMAPCEO public service essay contest had three winners. Besides Anisa who won the first prize, Alex Badea

of Ecole secondaire Michael Power St. Joseph in Toronto won the second place prize of $500 while Janvi Patel of Port Credit Secondary School in Mississauga received the third place prize of $300. AMAPCEO reports that all of these winning essays demonstrated a keen sense of appreciation for the value of the public service today. The essays also displayed exemplary work in research, creative ideas and writing style. This is the fourth year that AMAPCEO has held this essay contest. The principal objectives in establishing the contest are to promote and reward exemplary student research and scholarship to encourage students to think in a critical and creative way about the role and value of the public service in Ontario. AMAPCEO (Association of Management, Administrative and professional Crown Employees of Ontario) is a bargaining agent representing 12,000 professional and supervisory public servants, most of whom work in the public service in Ontario.

Apple Day raises $2,001 for Food Bank Scouter Kevin Chappell Special to the News
“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This is a maxim or rhyme promoting the eating of apples that dates back to the 19th century. Indeed, there were a number of variants of the rhyme in circulation around the turn of the 20th century. And apples remain popular to this day. A new maxim might be “An apple from a Beaver or Cub merits a donation for the Food Bank in return.” This is exactly what happened in Stittsville on Saturday morning, Sept. 27 as this new maxim came MARC DUCAS PHOTO alive as the Beavers and Cubs of the Cubs and leaders of the 1st Stittsville Scout Group are handing out 1st Stittsville Scout Group were out apples and accepting donations in return for the Stittsville Food Bank and about in the community, handing on the annual Apple Day of the 1st Stittsville Scout Group in Stittsville out apples to residents while acceptlast Saturday. ing donations for the Stittsville Food

Bank in return. When it was all said and done, the Beavers and Cubs had raised $2,001 for the Stittsville Food Bank. Awesome! This Apple Day is only one of the components of the community service aspect of Scouting in Stittsville. Other activities and events at which Stittsville’s Scouting youth have a chance to give back to the community in a meaningful way include Villagefest which was unfortunately rained out this year, the join Scout/Guide Fall and Spring Food Drives and the spring city clean-up campaign. The Stittsville Food Bank, though, is and has been a special focus of Scouting efforts in Stittsville over the last decade during which thousands of dollars have been collected and thousands of food items have been collected for donation to the
Stittsville Food Bank. The Stittsville Scouting community could not do this without the generosity of Stittsville residents and the Beavers and Cubs are most appreciative of this generosity. The Beavers and Cubs are also most hopeful that everyone who received an apple on Apple Day last Saturday enjoyed eating it. Apples are healthy as they contain Vitamin C which aids the immune system and also contain phenols which reduce cholesterol. Apples also help reduce tooth decay by cleaning one’e teeth and killing off bacteria. It has also been suggested by researchers that the quercetin found in apples helps protect brain cells against neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease. So, given all of these healthy benefits, it indeed makes sense that “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

More jails not the answer
B
usiness is booming in Ontario jails, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of expansion nobody wants. This week, we published the final instalment of our four-part series about recidivism â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when previously convicted criminals reoffend - in Ontario and the state of our correctional system. The numbers tell a disturbing tale. We discovered an odd statistical trend: despite the fact that Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crime rate has been steadily declining over the past decade â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this year weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a level not seen since 1969 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the number of federally incarcerated offenders hit a record high in 2013. Overcrowding is the new reality in Canadian prisons, with double-bunking prisoners required in 20 per cent of all federal prison cells. Also on the upswing is the rising cost of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prison system: the annual price per offender is $200,000 for females and $117,000 for males in federal penitentiaries. Meanwhile, the cost of community supervision of offenders hovers around $35,000 per year. Critics of the federal government say we are following the failed example of the United States that started
during the 1980s, with a massive push for prison construction and tougher sentences. Three decades later, our southern neighbours, a country with 700 of every 100,000 people incarcerated, are reconsidering their strategy and are now starting to spend more tax dollars on rehabilitation and support programs instead of prison construction. We need to follow their example. With so many critics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both academic and political â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calling into question the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough-on-crime approach, with the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentences, what is the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rationale for its push for prison construction? During the past two months we repeatedly called and emailed the office of Steven Blaney, the federal minister for Public Safety, with no response. If the Conservatives insist on pushing forward with an irrational correctional strategy, one that will eventually cost us dearly financially, perhaps the only convincing argument must be delivered at the ballot box.

he national stereotype is that all Canadians are cottagers and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all heading up there this weekend to close up, looking forward to it like crazy. Like all stereotypes, this one is not exactly accurate. Lots of us are not cottagers and lots of those noncottagers are not unhappy about it. They are happy in cities, where it is warm and dry and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do a lot of lugging of canned goods, empty bottles, pillowcases and broken badminton racquets. And of those who are, in fact, cottagers, not all of them fit the stereotype either. True, some of them relish every minute of the experience, cold or hot, dry or wet, crowded or solitary.

News - Alan Rushforth of Nepean, a senior, is an avid runner and even regularly attends an early morning boot camp session at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. Indeed, a few years ago, he even ran in the Boston Marathon. For this year’s 9RunRun Emergency Services Run coming up on Saturday, Oct. 18, Alan had registered to participate in the 10K run event. But the other night, he got wondering about whether he should step up to the half marathon (21 K). So, how did he decide what to do? He got up when it was still dark and ran his own half marathon along the Trans Canada Trail to determine if it was a feasible thing to do in the 9RunRun event. Well, he made it and in fact was back home even before his wife was awake. This test half marathon convinced him and he subsequently changed his 9RunRun participation to the half marathon from the 10K event. And so he will be running the longer half marathon, not the 10K, in the Oct. 18th event. Alan Rushforth, by the way, is the person who is seen – and heard – around the community at times playing a street organ that he built. Alan’s Street Organ has played outside the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop as well as at the annual gathering at Village Square Park held each year and hosted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, among other events. He is also a familiar face at The Running Room at the Grant Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. As for registration for the 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville, the deadline for registering is midnight this coming Friday, Oct. 10. The 10K run has less than 100 spots remaining, so anyone thinking of registering for it should act quickly. Race kit pickup for this year’s fifth anniversary 9RunRun event will take place on Thurs-
day, Oct. 16 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and again on Friday, Oct. 17 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Bushtukah store at the Grant Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. At this race kit pickup, Ottawa Food Bank donation bags will be provided to each participant with the hope that the bag will be filled up and brought back on race day. Participants should not forget that Dymon Self Storage will be collecting shoe donations on race day, with the shoes collecting going to the Soles4Souls initiative to provide shoes to those around the world who do not have such footwear. This year, unlike the previous four 9RunRun events, all race day festivities will be held at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. This will include such activities as the Chiefs’ Chili Cook-Off in which chiefs from all three emergency services – police, fire and paramedic – will compete against each other for making the best chili. Previously these race day activities took place at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. The start/finish line for the 10K and half marathon events of this year’s 9RunRun will be on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street – in fact, close to the intersection of Abbott Street with Jonathan Pack Street. The Bushtukah 10K run will get underway at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18. The Bushtukah half marathon will start at 9:15 a.m. The BMO Nesbitt Burns 2K family fun run will start at 10 a.m. at Village Square Park. Again this year, 9RunRun has partnered with Do It For Daron (DIFD) with this year’s fundraising goal being set at $50,000 since this is the event’s fifth anniversary year. The funds raised will go to support the “Is It Just Me?” youth mental health awareness program run by The Royal. All 9RunRun participants who fundraise a minimum of $50 will receive a 9RunRun running hat.
Book Club chat about ‘Left Neglected’ novel Special to the News
News - A New York Times best selling novel “Left Neglected” will be the focus of a book chat by members of the Stittsville Library’s Book Club on Monday, Oct. 20 at 3 p.m. Members of the Book Club will be meeting to discuss this 2011 novel by Lisa Genova, an American writer who is perhaps best known for her 2007 debut novel “Still Alice” which has been made into a movie. This movie will be in theatres starting this coming January. The movie is starring Julianne Moore, Alec Baldwin and Kate Bosworth. “Left Neglected,” the Lisa Genova novel which will be discussed by the Book Club
members, tells the story of resilience in the face of a devastating diagnosis. A vibrant mother in her thirties learns what matters most in life when a car crash leaves her with a traumatic brain disorder called “left neglect.” Her brain injury steals her awareness of everything on her left side and she has to retrain her mind to perceive the world as a whole. In so doing, she also learns how to pay attention to the people and parts of her life that matter most. “Still Alice,” Lisa Genova’s first novel, is about a Harvard professor who suffers from the early onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

Here comes 9RunRun on Oct. 18 Public Meetings on Boundary Revisions and Elementary Alternative Program Boundary Expansion The public is invited to attend one of four joint meetings to be held across the District to seek input on minor attendance boundary revisions and the expansion of the Elementary Alternative Program boundaries. Minor Attendance Boundary Revisions In an effort to ensure school boundaries are consistent with new development areas, improve access to programming, provide better utilization of existing instructional space and address inconsistencies in neighbourhood alignments, staff is proposing a number of minor boundary adjustments to provide for effective accommodation of students in different parts of the District. Areas/Programs/Boundaries potentially impacted include the following: E Mer Bleue Expansion area (Orleans) E Cardinal Creek New development area (Orleans) E Central Park MFI 4-8 boundary revision E Valley Stream Secondary 9-12 boundary revision E West Carleton MFI 4-8 boundary revision E Riverside South New development areas (south of Armstrong Rd. and east of Limebank Rd.) E J.H. Putman/Broadview 7-8 EFI boundary revision (Carlingwood area only) Detailed information regarding these proposed revisions can be found at: http://goo.gl/8TcJvB Elementary Alternative Program Boundary Expansion Following a market demand survey in 2013, staff was directed to consult with the public regarding a plan to expand the elementary alternative program boundary, commencing in September 2015. The expansion would include areas not currently served by the program and include all suburban areas and rural areas outside of the Greenbelt. Potential expansion areas include the following: E West – Kanata, Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and all rural west communities E South – Barrhaven, south Nepean, Riverside South, Manotick, & all rural south communities E East – Orleans, Blackburn Hamlet & all rural east communities Details about this review can be found at: http://goo.gl/AW6qsC Schedule of Public meetings (please note the SAME information will be available at each meeting) #1 - South Thurs.

Three more wishes granted thanks to Tysen’s ‘Mission’ John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Stittsville’s Tysen Lefebvre is continuing to make wishes come true. Three more wishes have been granted by Make-AWish Eastern Ontario thanks to funding from Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” campaign. These are the sixth, seventh and eighth wishes to be funded thanks to Tysen’s campaign. A wish granted by MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario has an average cost of about $10,000. Tysen was in Nepean recently to meet 11 year old Trinity and to deliver her wish. It was sponsored through Tysen’s campaign by a donor Wayne Morris who sends a girl to Disney World every year through Make-A-Wish Eastern On-
tario in memory of his wife Pat who died from cancer five years ago. This year he funded a wish by donating the funds to Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” campaign. For this wish, Trinity and her family will be heading to the “Give The Kids The World” Disney resort in Orlando in a few weeks’ time. Tysen travelled to the Fan Cave at the Ernst and Young Centre in Ottawa where designer Jackie Morran was hosting a special event for some Make-A-Wish children. It was there that Tysen met McKenzy, the recipient of the seventh wish funded by his campaign. McKenzy wanted to go on a shopping spree and that’s just what she did. A limo took her to this shopping spree at Place d’Orleans where she had a

great time shopping. Among her purchases on this shopping spree were a bunk bed, a laptop and a PS4. On a scale of one to ten, she rated this shopping spree experience as a 20 plus. Tysen delivered the eighth wish funded by his “Mission To A Million” campaign at FunHaven. It was the perfect place to deliver this wish since the recipient, eight year old Louis-Shamma, loves FunHaven. His wish, which is a popular one, was to go to Disney World. And that’s what Louis-Shamma and his family (mom, dad, older sister and younger brother) will be SUBMITTED doing this coming December – heading to the “Give The Tysen Lefebvre, right, of Stittsville is with McKenzy, left, recipient of the seventh wish Kids The World” resort in Or- granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario as a result of funding from Tysen’s “Mission To lando, Florida for the Disney A Million” campaign. experience. As an extra plus, FunHaven gave Louis-Shamma and his siblings a one year pass to FunHaven as an extra wish bonus. Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” fundraising campaign for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario reaches its first year anniversary at the end of October. In his campaign, Tysen has set a five year time frame for raising a million dollars for Make-AWish Eastern Ontario which would provide funding for the granting of 100 wishes. He is very close to raising $200,000, the goal for the first year of the campaign. To help the campaign reach this $200,000 goal by the end of October, Tysen has been given the use of a “text to donate” number until Nov. 1. You just have to type the word “wish” to 45678 to donate $5 to Tysen’s “Mission To A Million.” The $5 will be billed to your cell phone bill.

JAIL BREAK
Metroland East Special Report
Breaking the chains of recidivism Local community rehabilitative programs and services pick up the slack for federal government
results, excessive use of incarceration has enormous cost implications.” If mandatory minimums have no affect on recidivism, the federal government must find a way to justify these by evaluating their affects on crime, said Irwin Waller, a professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa. “We actually know that it doesn’t from studies in other countries, which really means the U.S.,” he said. Yasir Naqvi, Ontario minister of Community Safety and Correctional Services, said the provincial government’s focus is crime prevention. “The federal government seems to have a different focus than that,” Naqvi said. “We have raised those concerns with the federal government. We believe that they should offset the cost of measures like mandatory minimum sentencing … because that is going to have a detrimental impact not only on the provinces, but also on the society at large as well.” Federal Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney did not respond to numerous requests for comment by Metroland East.
Metroland East Special Report
A
staggering number of Ontario convicts – more than half - will go on to reoffend within two years of completing their sentence. With lack of supports, employment and rehabilitation opportunities, exxperts say many offenders fall through the cracks and are sent back behind bars. The government is failing on the public safety file, according to Wayne Easter, the Liberal public safety critic. In Canada the rate of recidivism is estimated at 44 per cent, according to a study prepared for the Solictor General of Canada on federal offenders released between April 1, 1994 to March 31, 1995. In comparison, the national rate of recidivism across the United States, a country known for its high rate of incarceration, is 43 per cent. “They have been working on this issue (of recidivism) through the Justice Centre (in the United States) and they are going in the opposite direction from the Harper government because they know the tough-on-crime approach doesn’t work,” Easter said. With the introduction of mandatory minimums and stiffer sentencing, prisons across Canada are bracing themselves for an influx of inmates. During the past decade, federal prisons have seen a population increase of 24 per cent, moving from 12,413 inmates in 2003 to 15,400 inmates in 2014. Meanwhile, the number of prisoners incarcerated in provincial and territorial jails saw a 13.1 per cent jump over the same time period. But that doesn’t mean crime is up, according to a 2014 report by Statistics Canada. The traditional crime rate fell by eight per cent, continuing a trend that started in the early 1990s and this year reached its lowest level since 1969, according to the StatCan report. Critics tie the increase in the num-

Prison time has a negative affect on reducing criminal behaviour according to a review of 50 studies between 1958 and 1999 by a team of academics from the University of New Brunswick and the University of Cincinnati. Excessive use of incarceration also has ‘enormous cost implications’ warns the study.

the department of criminal justice at the University of Cincinnati. But a review of 50 studies dating back to 1958 showed that jail time resulted in a slight increase in the rate of criminal reoffence and that there was a tendency for low-risk offenders to be “more negatively affected” by serving time in prison. “Prisons should not be used, with the expectation of reducing criminal behaviour,” concluded the report’s authors. “On the basis of the present
Expenditures at federal jails have ballooned from $1.58 billion to $2.72 billion from 2002 to 2012 and the cost of incarceration has gone up by 47.8 per cent in that time, according to a 2013 report by Public Safety Canada. Last year, the federal government asked Correctional Service Canada to cut 10 per cent of its operating budget. “So they began to look at ways that they could maintain their core operations but still save money,” said Howard Sapers, the federal prisons’ ombudsman. “What that’s translated into is the erosion of some services for offenders and the cancellation of some programs.” Over the years, the correctional department has eliminated prison farms, reduced access to prison libraries and cut funding to buy library materials. Overcrowding in Canadian jails means less space for programming, and double bunking is now the norm, Easter said. REHABILITATIVE PROGRAMS
The pressure placed on the correctional system is also affecting family members of offenders. An Ottawa support group for women with relatives serving time in prison
is advocating for funding proven rehabilitative programs, changes to Canada’s remand system as well as more diversion programs, such as a mentalhealth or drug court and restorative justice. “We want to put practices in place, evidence-based practices in our corrections system that will reduce recidivism, because none of us want to go through it again,” said one of two founding members of Mothers Offering Mutual Support or MOMS. Eventually, most offenders will be released from prison, the Ottawabased mother said, who asked to remain anonymous. “This person could be your neighbour. How do you want this person to come out? Do you want them coming out having good insight as to what led to their offence, really good insight and for them to have strategies to ensure it’s never going to happen again?” she asked. “(Correctional Service Canada) has a whole list of excellent rehabilitative programs, but their funding has been cut and some of the programs too have been kind of blended together as a one-size-fits-all program.” Meanwhile, the rate at which offenders are granted parole continues to set new historic lows and a greater percentage of offenders are spending more of their sentences behind bars in increasingly volatile and hardening conditions of confinement. The programming that does exist often faces precarious funding situations and dwindling resources. If prison programs are cut, that moves some of the burden to community-based programming, though dollars are stretched just as thin there. Impending federal cuts to Circles of Support and Accountability, a community based program that helps high-risk sex offenders reintegrate after prison is “nonsensical,” said Randall Garrison, the federal public safety critic for the New Democratic Party. “That is probably the most single most effective program in probably the whole prison system.” Public Safety Canada acknowledges the program’s success, but in the House of Commons, Minister Steven Blaney has said the Circles program is not in the ministry’s mandate, said Garrison, who doesn’t buy this, and has told Blaney, “‘Your mandate is not punishment, it’s corrections. It’s called corrections. It’s called rehabilitation.’” Continued on page 13

Easter also points to evidence that shows rehabilitation programs have a positive impact on an individual’s ability to rebuild their life. But the supports need to be there. “There needs to be a national mental-health strategy,” he said. “Sixty per cent of the country’s inmates have mental-health issues and 70 per cent have addictions issues. Prison is the wrong place to deal with these types of things. Far better than (going) cold turkey is support programs; there’s a chance of making it then. Beyond that, simply making it a condition of parole means that when someone falls off the wagon it’s a violation of their sentence. What works best isn’t punishment, but maybe access to a 30-day facility.” One Ottawa halfway house for federal offenders looks to blend treatment and reintegration, and is designed to help treat the root causes of substance abuse and teach offenders new coping skills. “Guys who come to Decision House don’t go back to jail,” said Louis Berubé, executive director of Maison Decision House, which has 14 beds that are always in demand. Housing and employment help are also available to offenders, many of whom have been in and out of the system. The organization’s annual budget is a little more than $500,000 – a lot less than the cost of keeping all “his guys” in jail, Berubé said. John Howard Society of Ottawa staff visit the halfway house to offer employment skills training and provide leads on jobs. The organization deals with clients who have complex needs, but the key areas of concentration need to be safe,

“(Offenders) need a safe place to ... develop community supports, where they can have mental health assessment, can develop a treatment plan.”
affordable housing and employment. The society has a business stream that trains offenders how to do asbestos abatement work and then helps place them in jobs, said Don Waddell, executive director. One offender who took advantage of the program, who asked to remain anonymous, said after he took the course, he realized afterwards he wouldn’t be able to join the worker’s union. Instead, he was paid less for the same work, and given worse tasks. The offender said he and his coworkers were treated like secondclass citizens. “I’m treated differently,’ I’m looked at differently,” he said. “We’re given the dirtier jobs and frowned upon. No matter what inroads I take, I’m always seen as a criminal.” Though work is being done in the community to curb recidivism, there continues to be a push for change within jails. The Ontario Public Service Employees Union Corrections Division published a paper in April 2014 titled New Directions: A blueprint for reforming the province of Ontario’s prison system to protect the public, reduce costs and rehabilitate inmates. The report provides a variety of short-term and long-term fixes to reform the corrections system. It suggests building temporary housing structures within existing facilities in order to renovate space to expand and add specialized units for severally physically and mentally ill inmates. “We have an acute crisis with acute mental-health issues,” said Garrison, noting that between 40 and 80 per cent of people admitted to prisons have a mental illness or an addiction. “In terms of acute problems, we don’t have adequate facilities.” Though the federal government
says Canada’s prison population is not increasing as projected, Garrison said it is still growing by about 1,000 inmates per year. “So you still have to provide the physical facilities for that and so a lot of resources are going to that and we don’t have the increased programming money to keep up with that,” he said. “And so wait lists for treatment are going to get longer and therefore we’re going to get more people who are released who still have mentalillness problems, addiction problems (and) … who are more likely to reoffend because they haven’t had these basic underlying social causes of crime dealt with.” There are programs in place, often run by non-for-profit organizations, which help fill the gap in services for repeat offenders. Despite a lack of funding, some of the people they have helped have been able to get a fresh start or successfully begin reintegration in society. Dan Parlow is one of those people who is breaking the cycle of recidivism, after being in and out of jail since he was convicted of armed robbery when he was 16. Now, at 49, he’s been out of jail for the longest stretch since that first conviction, and says he knew he had to stay clean after he was paroled in July 2013, otherwise he’d end up back behind bars. Enter the LifeHouse Residential program, a five-month, substanceabuse residential program run by the Ottawa Mission. Parlow completed the program, then entered secondstage housing and is now moving to an apartment in Blackburn Hamlet. He also started a degree in criminology at Carleton University. He was able to attend school thanks to financial support from the Mission’s donors. At the close of the first semester,
Parlow had straight As and was hired to research Gladue reports for a consultant firm called IndinGENIUS. The reports are used in the Gladue court system, a special court for Aboriginal offenders – who are extremely overrepresented in the Canadian corrections system, according to statistics from Correctional Services Canada. It’s a job he says he relishes because he believes it’s particularly important for aboriginals who are involved in the criminal justice system to have the supports they need. DIVERSION PROGRAMS
There is a glimmer of hope for a fresh start if an offender can enter a diversion program, such as the precharge diversion program run by the Salvation Army, which works with first-time offenders. The typical offence is theft under $5,000. Clients are directed to the program while they are waiting for their first court appearance, and are often referred by Ottawa police. “Our office is in the court house and I typically see 30 to 50 clients per month,” said caseworker Sheena Lalonde. When assessing a referral, Lalonde said she often looks at the whole picture. “A single mom with two kids on Ontario Works is a totally different case than say, a teen stealing a stereo,” Lalonde said, adding she may assign the mother to community service hours at the food bank, so she can serve her sentence and connect with the organization for resources to prevent repeat offending. Lalonde said she looks for the root cause of an offender’s crime. “If someone is stealing to pay for a gambling addiction, for example, it’s
levels that provide public safety and hopefully can save taxpayers money in the long run.””
important to treat the original issue,” she said. “Scrubbing toilets isn’t really going to help them.” Lalonde said just as much time is spent on connecting clients with resources like Ontario Works or the Low Income Energy Assistance program to help pay utility costs. The Intermittent Community Work Program offered by the Salvation Army is similar to pre-charge diversion, but instead deals with clients who have already been sentenced. It helps them remain in the community and do service rather than lose their jobs by going to prison. The program receives some funding from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Most clients are up on fraud or minor theft charges, and sentences vary, from two weeks to a year of weekends. “It’s expensive to keep people in jail and this way people get to keep their jobs,” said program head April Rutherford, who deals with about 30 clients each month. Offenders often work at the Salvation Army thrift store and the Shepherds of Good Hope, a charity that helps the poor and homeless in Ottawa. Programs such as pre-charge diversion and intermittent community work would have been a welcome solution for Parlow when he first came into contact with the law. Though he says he is now turning his life around, he can’t help but wonder what would have happened if he hadn’t entered prison, which he refers to as a “University of Crime,” at a young age. “The system can be very harsh,” Parlow said. “Sometimes it can be a tough cycle to break on your own.” By Jennifer McIntosh, Brier Dodge and Blair Edwards including files from Erin McCracken.

Collecting shoes for Soles4Souls program News - Rev. Michel Dubord of Richmond is not only participating in the 10K event at the upcoming 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 but also he is using the occasion to collect used footwear for the Soles4Souls program. He figures that since he will be at the 9RunRun event, he might as well go there with as many used footwear items as possible since there is going to be a Dymon Storage truck on location there to collect used footwear for Soles4Souls. That’s why he has put out a call to the Richmond and area community for any used footwear items. He will then take them with him to Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 and deposit them at the collection truck there. Soles4Souls, a Canada-wide program, collects shoes from footwear companies and from
individuals which it then distributes free of charge to people in need of footwear around the world. Soles4Souls goal is to collect one million pairs of shoes in every province, an initiative that it calls “The Million Shoe Mission.” Anyone who has used footwear that they wish to donate to Soles4Souls simply has to contact Rev. Dubord of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond at 613-838-6075 to make arrangements. His deadline for receiving footwear donations so that he can drop them off at the Soles4Souls collection truck at the 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 is Friday, Oct. 17. Soles4Souls was founded in 2005 in Nashville. Since its founding, Soles4Souls has given away over seven million pairs of new and gently worn shoes in 125 countries around the world including Haiti, Kenya and Nepal.

Sacred Heart Huskies drop 12-7 decision john.curry@metroland.com
Sports - The Sacred Heart High School Huskies lost 12-7 in action at the United Way high school football jamboree hosted at St. Joseph’s High School in Barrhaven on Thursday, Oct. 2. Huskies coach Curtis MacNeil said that the team’s defense played well in the game but that the offense could not get on the scoreboard in this game against Colonel By Secondary
School. The Huskies points came when Kurtis Schaefer intercepted a Colonel By pass and returned it for a touchdown just before halftime with Colonel By leading 12-0. A convert made it 12-7 but this is how the game ended, with a scoreless second half. The Huskies did mount a good offensive drive in the third quarter but penalties and an interception thwarted any scoring. One bright spot for the Huskies on offense happened on the last play of the first half when
the Huskies completed a pass with the ball ending up on Colonel By’s one yard line. Unfortunately time had run out in the half and the Huskies did not have another play to try to punch the ball in from there. The Huskies had fallen behind 12-0 in the first quarter, giving up two touchdowns on Colonel By pass plays. Both times Colonel By tried for two point conversions but were thwarted by the Huskies. Coach MacNeil notes that the Huskies have a lot of experienced players on defense which

Sunny weather prevails for Lions Fall Fun golfing Special to the News
News - A sunny late September afternoon with the temperature hovering in the mid-twenties saw members of the Stittsville District Lions Club decked out in their new 50th anniversary purple and white golf shirts, accompanied by spouses and friends at the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fall Fun golf tournament. This year the tournament was special because it heralded the beginning of Lions of Ottawa Month which has been proclaimed for October in the city of Ottawa this year in recognition of the rich heritage of community service provided by the 16 separate Lions Clubs which are located in the city of Ottawa. The emphasis at this golf tournament day on Sunday, Sept. 28 was on fun as the Lions, their spouses and friends started off this new Lion year in a spirit of camaraderie. This Fall Fun golf tournament was a nine hole, scramble format golf outing at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville, followed by a BBQ steak dinner. With the emphasis on fun, golfers were reminded that while scores were to be kept, there was not going to be a prize for best score. However, although not publicized, there was going to be a cash prize for a special hidden score.
After the golďŹ ng, participants were advised that there would be a cash prize for the selected hidden nine-hole score of 50, a number corresponding to the Lions Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special 50th anniversary year this year. There was also going to be a consolation cash prize for the score of 40, a number corresponding to the 40th anniversary year this year of the Stittsville Lionettes Club. As it turned out, the main prize for a hidden score of 50 went unclaimed and so was donated to the Lions Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s White Cane Campaign, a fundraising initiative for the blind and visually impaired which the Stittsville District Lions Club carries out every October. The consolation prize for a score of 40 was won by Lions Club members Gord MacIssac and Darryl Metzger and their wives. The closest to the pin prize was won by Gerry Robillard, a prospective new member of the Club, and by Helen Burke for the ladies. The Lions Club members, their spouses and friends left the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club that evening happy that they had been able to enjoy a beautiful fall day playing golf not only in a friendly but competitive environment but also more importantly in the company of a great group of friends.

News - It really launches the Christmas season in Stittsville and it’s fast approaching. It’s the annual Christmas Parade of Lights which sees floats decorated with Christmas lights travel along Stittsville Main Street to the delight of hundreds of onlookers. The parade will be happening on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. And following the parade, the Christmas lights on the trees at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street are turned on for the first time, formally marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville.
These Christmas lights in Village Square Park illuminate the park every night throughout the Christmas season, adding a seasonal glow right in the heart of the community. As for the parade itself, again this year there will be no entry fee but participants are asked to consider making a donation to the Stittsville Food Bank. There is no formal registration other than the commitment to take part in the event. Parade details and a waiver form are distributed to participants. Everyone – businesses, community groups, service clubs and more – are welcome to participate in this event hosted by the Stittsville Village Asso-

You should indicate your participation in the parade and direct any questions about the parade to Christine Hartig (cihartig@sympatico.ca) or Trudy Smith (trudy_smith@ sympatico.ca), both of whom are SVA directors who are looking after the organization of the Parade of Lights this year. Everyone in the community is urged to mark down the date of Saturday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. on the calendar and plan to be there somewhere along the route of the parade to enjoy the lighted floats and cheer them on.

CRISIS
Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Church is) where the parade ends. The intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street is traditionally a popular spot for viewing the parade. It not only allows people to hear the identification of the various floats passing by as a public address system is set up at Village Square Park with the floats announced as they approach on Stittsville Main Street but also to enjoy the turning on of the Christmas lights at Village Square Park following the parade. But there are many great viewing locations all along Stittsville Main Street – you just need to decide on one and be there on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m.

He wants to attract and retain students at the university, noting his objective to see St. Francis Xavier’s enrolment grow to 5,000 students. He announced his commitment to raise $25 million through the Xaverian Legacy Fund over the next five years for scholarships and bursaries so that students who want to attend St. F.X. can do so. Dr. MacDonald said that as president, he is in the service of faculty and staff to help them do their jobs and to help create a learning environment for students that is unmatched in the country. “It is with a sense of humility, a sense of wonder, and much delight and anticipation that I assume the role of president,” he said.

Stittsville News - Thursday, October 9, 2014 29
Orgaworld contract ignited Dave Lee’s concerns John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It was the release of the city auditor’s report on the Orgaworld contract last July that started Dave Lee of Stittsville on the road to having his name on the ballot in the Stittsville ward in the upcoming municipal election. He had already had concerns about what was being decided at Ottawa city hall as a result of projects like the Hazeldean Road bridge over the Carp Road. Why an expensive bridge instead of a couple of culverts to cross a waterway that a person can almost jump over, he wondered. He began wondering about various city hall decisions that seemed to be made with very little discussion by councillors. Then the Orgaworld audit was released which confirmed his suspicions about how things were being decided at city hall – decisions with very little debate and no due diligence. This all got him investigating things more and he did not like what he was finding out
– 20 minute council meetings with no real debate. Dave was particularly upset with the Orgaworld contract which had a processing figure of 80,000 tonnes with no “ramp up” period to grow to that number. And the contract was for 20 years. This did not sit well with him, a view which was brought home to him every week thanks to the maggots always present in his green bin. He does not buy the argument that councillors were misled by staff on the matter, noting that one councillor, former councillor Gord Hunter, raised objections about the contract. He says that this tells him that the councillors had information on the project and should have been asking the right questions, just like councillor Hunter was. Dave has come to believe that the problem at city hall, as evidenced by the Orgaworld contract, is not an information and staff problem. “It’s a human problem, not a process problem,” he says. He says that people today
lead busy lives, with their children involved in various activities. That’s why people do not pay that much attention to municipal decisions. Dave says that when he explains the Orgaworld contract and other decisions made at city hall to people at the door in this campaign, they get angry once they hear the story. He says that the culture at city hall and how the politicians are doing their job has to change. “We want someone to ask questions,” he said, noting that the councillors have to ask the questions such as where the 80,000 tonne figure for the Orgaworld contract came from. “It’s the culture of how they are doing business at city hall,” Dave says – that’s what has to change. He points out that the Orgaworld contract is just one contract of the city. There are many others and Dave wonders if the councillors are doing due diligence for all of these other contracts. It was not done for the Orgaworld contract in the view of the

Dave Lee scathing audit report. He points to the recent $100 million contract for the Arts Court project which he points out is equal to funding that could build almost three high schools like the public high school so desperately wanted in Stittsville. “The culture of borrowing to spend has got to stop,” he says. Dave was hoping that someone would come forward to contest the municipal election in the Stittsville ward against incumbent Shad Qadri. But when no one did, he stepped
forward and submitted his name in nomination. It was fortunate that this longtime entrepreneur and businessman was just embarking on a new phase of his entrepreneurial life and so he was able to launch a campaign. Had he still be running iplay, the computer games arcade business that he had operated for nearly a dozen years, he would not have been able to commit to a campaign. But he had wrapped up the business and after some time enjoying life after running such an all-consuming business, he was just embarking on a new enterprise on the tech side of things when all of this municipal business came to his attention. Dave has also always preached to his three sons that if something is not right and you have an opportunity to do something about it, you have to try to do it. He admits that in running for political office, he is stepping out of his comfort zone as an entrepreneur but doing it for the right reasons is what

matters to him. “I’m not a politician. I am a career entrepreneur businessman,” he says. He notes that being an entrepreneur for almost all of his working life has exposed him to many aspects of business and life – construction, tenant rights, legal implications, sales and marketing and more. These will all be valuable experiences to take forward to the council table in asking the right questions. Dave has been a Stittsville resident for 18 years. He has been a volunteer basketball coach for 22 years and he has gotten to know many in the community through his iplay business which began on Iber Road before moving to the Bell Sensplex. He says that the online support that his campaign has been receiving has been going through the roof, a fact that he attributes to being in the community for a long time and knowing a lot of people through this involvement in the community and through operating his business.

Traffic safety is top concern of residents, Shad Qadri says John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Traffic safety, managing growth, taxes and garbage are the major concerns that incumbent Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri has heard from community residents as he campaigns for reelection as the Stittsville ward councillor in the upcoming Oct. 27 municipal election. He notes that there are a lot of concerns being expressed about speeding in neighbourhoods. “That’s the number one concern that has been expressed to me,” he says. He points out some of the initiatives that have been taken in recent years to try to help the situation. This includes speeding surveys in the community, a new crossing guard approved for the intersection of Renshaw Avenue and Hobin Street, introduction of “Slow Down For Us” signage along some streets in Stittsville, installation of so-called flex stakes along some streets to remind drivers to slow down and
painting speed limits right on the pavement of Hobin Street at Kyle Avenue. In the longer term, councillor Qadri says that he is working with city planners to determine how neighbourhood streets in the future can be designed with traffic calming features built right in from day one. Managing growth means having infrastructure requirements keep up with growth. Development of the northsouth arterial road through the Fernbank lands from Fernbank Road to Hazeldean Road eventually should take some traffic off Stittsville Main Street. The first phase from Fernbank Road to Abbott Street is nearing reality while councillor Qadri is hoping that a front ending agreement can be worked out with developers of the lands between Abbott Street and Hazeldean Road to allow the north-south arterial to be extended to Hazeldean Road as soon as possible. Mr. Qadri also notes that developers are now developing the neighbourhood parks in their developments right
up-front so that residents of these new subdivisions do not have to wait years for a park to be developed as was the case at times in the past. Mr. Qadri says that the biggest infrastructure issue for Stittsville is building a public high school in the community. He pledges to work with the community on this project, saying that he will lobby the Minister of Education on the matter. He also points out that the Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street will be undergoing more consultation and eventually will help Stittsville Main Street develop, providing landowners with a blueprint of what they can expect in development terms for their properties. Mr. Qadri admits taxes are always an issue and he favours taxes that reflect the rate of inflation. He says that a zerobased tax approach does not allow a city to grow and improve services. He favours finding efficiencies in city operations and thus saving dollars but without affecting the level of service.
SAVE ANYWHERE.
Shad Qadri With regard to garbage, the Orgaworld contract is a major concern. Mr. Qadri says that the contract will be reviewed during the next term of council, with various options possible such as cancelling the contract or changing it. He thinks that the green bin program can be improved, such as by allowing the use of biodegradable plastic bags that will eliminate the visible “yuck factor” that now plagues the green bin program due to maggots. He said that he felt comfortable voting in favour of the Orgaworld contract at the time because the report presented to council on the contract had prepared by staff
and cleared by the city’s legal staff. He admits that he was “dismayed” when he read the auditor general’s report about the Orgaworld contract and its inaccuracies. Mr. Qadri says that if reelected, he will try to start a BIA (Business Improvement Area) for Stittsville, pointing out that BIA’s exist and are doing good work in support of businesses throughout the city. He also is pledging to continue to work with landowners in the Fernbank lands to try to reserve the Shea Woods area as a leisure dog park. He is also interested in trying to have a fenced-in exercise dog park developed in the community. Mr. Qadri says that he wants to keep Stittsville in the forefront of the minds of those at city hall so that the community receives its fair share of the city’s infrastructure and program dollars. He says that his experience as a businessman over the years has taught him to view those in the community who lodge complaints with
him about city services and situations as his advisors and not as complainers. He points out that it is residents in their neighbourhoods who know the community’s neighbourhoods the best and can present valid concerns and ideas about them. Mr. Qadri says that building a community is like raising a family, with challenges always evolving and changing as a community grows and develops, just like members of a family. He said that the job of a councillor is to make sure that the challenges facing a community as it grows are managed and solved in a way that helps the community grow while maintaining the quality of life that residents expect. Shad Qadri was first elected as the city of Ottawa councillor for the Stittsville ward in the 2006 municipal election. He was re-elected in the 2010 election. He is a former Stittsville businessman, having operated ShowBiz Entertainment in the Stittsville Shopping Centre plaza on Stittsville Main Street.

john.curry@metroland.com
News - Certificates, medals and plaques were all among the awards presented at the second annual awards ceremony held by the Stittsville Kumon Learning Centre. The ceremony, held at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Friday evening, Sept. 26, saw numerous awards presented to the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students, ranging from prestigious Rising Stars awards to awards to students who have been with the Kumon program for ten years.

The awards were all presented by Merilee and John Clarke who operate the Kumon Learning Centre in Stittsville.
Before the student achievement awards were presented, five videos, each featuring a Kumon student who had achieved much thanks in part to their Kumon training. This included a current math professor who now works with Math teachers who credited his Kumon math experience for improving his math skills when younger as well as a 16 year old Kumon student in Victoria, B.C. who invented a flashlight that runs from the heat of a human hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What amazing kids,â&#x20AC;? said Merilee Clarke of the Stittsville Kumon Learning Centre at the conclusion of these videos. But speaking of amazing kids, three Kumon students were just that as they presented musical performances for those at the awards ceremony â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one played the piano while two others played violin pieces.

OSU, as a member of The Ontario Player Development League, will be able to provide an opportunity for players within the Ottawa Gloucester Hornets to advance to the high performance stream when recommended by the Ottawa Gloucester Hornets’ Club Head Coach. Furthermore, both clubs will align with joint Coaching Summit development opportunities and cross market each other’s soccer programs and events including: accessibility to exclusive international tournaments, university/college guidance resources and tours and joint player development opportunities. The Ottawa Gloucester Hornets have long looked for avenues for an enhanced synergy amongst Clubs fielding competitive soccer programs in the Ottawa area. The Hornets view this strategic alliance with Ottawa South United as a real opportunity to reshape the Ottawa soccer landscape and promote the concepts which support Long Term Player Development. This strategic alliance between these two Clubs will look to ensure that the players in both Clubs are accorded the opportunity to play and compete at the proper level that supports their development. This will see players move between the Clubs; a forward thinking concept that will afford them the access to the best environment to meet their soccer challenges.

Abby Moffitt places first in singing competition Special to the News News - A student at Stittsville’s U-Rock Music School has brought home the top prize at the Carleton Place Farmer’s Market singing competition last Saturday. Eleven year old Abigail Moffitt captured first prize in the competition, up against competitors of all ages. She received $500 in cash as the first prize in the competition. Abby attends the U-Rock Music School, run by Cathy Hallessey of Stittsville, for both vocal and guitar lessons. She is a grade seven student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. Abby said that she did not think that she would win the competition last Saturday, feeling that the judges would probably choose one of the older competitors. But that’s not how it turned out as she won. She says that she likes pop music which a sampling of
her songs sung in the competition would indicate: Michael Buble’s version of “Feeling Good,” a song initially written for the 1964 musical “The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd;” “We Remain,” a pop power ballad sung by Christina Aguilara from the soundtrack of the motion picture “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire;” and “Blown Away,” the singe from Carrie Underwood’s 2012 album of the same name, “Blown Away,” a country pop song that won a Grammy Award for best country song.
As for the $500 that she won in the competition, Abby does not yet know what she will be doing with the winnings, other than perhaps going out for lunch with a friend. Abby first performed on stage in front of an audience last year at the Talent National competition at the Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean. But she says that she likes performing in front of an audience and seeing people’s reaction and getting feedback from them. Her teacher, Cathy Hallessey, reports that
Abby worked hard on her music all summer long. She recently competed in the youth talent show at the Richmond Fair as did two other U-Rock Music School students, 13 year old Sarah Culbert and 12 year old Karolina Moo. “Needless to say I’m proud of all my students and especially excited for Abigail’s big win today,” Ms. Hallessey noted on Saturday about this first prize finish at the Carleton Place Farmer’s Market singing competition.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Why work with a law firm? QUESTION: My former spouse is self-employed and claims to be earning an annual income of $35,000.00. They have the ability to significantly reduce their personal income by claiming business expenses on their tax return. How will the court consider this for purposes of determining child support obligations?
ANSWER: Child support is based on the payor’s gross annual income. Courts generally refer to line 150 of the payor's tax returns to determine the amount of support payable. If not satisfied that line 150 is a true representation of actual annual income, a judge will consider a person’s average annual income over three years. If a judge determines that line 150 is not a fair representation of the payor’s annual income, they will deem an amount that is fair and reasonable for the purposes of calculating child support obligations. Parents entitled to receive support may resort to court proceedings to compel the payor to make full financial disclosure. By law complete financial disclosure is required and courts will order document production early in court proceedings. Failure to make full disclosure may result in significant sanctions in the form of cost orders and even findings of contempt. In appropriate circumstances lawyers representing parents entitled to child support will obtain an order for the production of documents in facilitate investigation of the payor spouse’s true financial circumstances. In cases where the payor spouse’s claimed income is inconsistent with their lifestyle, courts have imputed an income which more fairly represents the payor's means. In the end, a court will decide on a fair and reasonable outcome for both parties.

Stick handling, shooting training facility John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Sports - It’s like a golf driving range but only it’s for hockey. Yes, that’s right – it’s a place where a hockey player of any age can go and shoot, shoot, shoot. There are seven so-called shooting bays where a player, skating on the facility’s 1,500 square feet of synthetic ice, can shoot a puck at the image of a goalie guarding a net, all for just $25 an hour. There is a radar gun that shows the velocity of a shot and there’s super slow motion cameras that allow a player to see a frame-by-frame breakdown of his or her shooting technique. This and more is all available at the recently opened Six1Three Hockey at 119 Iber Road in Stittsville which bills itself as a stick handling and shoot-
ing training facility. It held its grand opening last Sunday afternoon, complete with a BBQ and lots of opportunity for visitors to see the facility and even try their luck in the first annual Ottawa’s Hardest Slap Shot Competition, a competition open to all ages 6 and above, with categories based on age groups. A radar gun monitored each shot in the competition. “The Ottawa area is a hotbed for minor hockey and we wanted to do something that would not only allow people to test out the facility but give people a sense of where their shooting skill is at compared to other kids their own age,” said Jordan Goodfellow, one of the three partners in the enterprise and the general manager of the facility. Those entering the Ottawa’s Hardest Slap Shot Competition donated $5

and a non-perishable food item, with the proceeds going to the Ottawa Food Bank and the Do It For Daron (DIFD) campaign. This new Six1Three Hockey facility offers more than just “driving range” type shooting by hockey players. There is one-on-one instruction for shooting available. In addition, there are clinics available for up to seven players at a time. These one hour clinics focus on stickhandling for 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes focused on shooting. Six1Three Hockey also carries a full line of custom sticks that are fully customized to the individual player. It also does skate sharpening and has an array of Six1Three Hockey hats and t-shirts. Six1Three Hockey is also is a distributor for synthetic ice. The idea of a hockey shooting and stickhandling training facility initially was the idea of Mike Burnett, a Kanata minor hockey coach. He brought two other Kanata minor hockey coaches, Scott Goodfellow and Jordan Goodfellow, into the enterprise and with them came the ideas of offering one-on-one instruction and clinics. As experienced minor hockey coaches, they knew that such coaches just don’t have the time to work on shooting skills. Hence the need for a “driving range” type facility where players could specifically work on their shooting. The trio also knew how big minor hockey is in the Stittsville/Kanata area and so knew that the need for such a facility

They looked at a couple of possible locations but found their current location at 119 Iber Road about six or seven months ago. It will be a facility that is open year round as temperature does not affect the synthetic ice. It only needs to be mopped and buffed every so often and there is a spray that can be applied. No warm clothing is needed for participants and there’s always
music playing to provide for an enjoyable atmosphere. Just have skates, a helmet, gloves and a stick and you are good to go. The name Six1Three Hockey comes from the area phone code 613 but it is a combination of words and numbers, not just the 613 numbers. The facility opened quietly at the beginning of July and then had a louder launch when the CTV Morning show broadcast from the facility in August. Last Sunday’s grand opening com-
pletes the opening process. There are no memberships. Appointments are preferred. Such appointments can be easily made on the Six1Three Hockey website at www.six1threehockey.com. For more information, please phone Six1Three Hockey at 613-366-2138 or email info@613hockey.com. To contact general manager Jordan Goodfellow, call 613-366-2138 or email Jordan@613hockey.com.

HISTORY
Connected to your community
Stittsville District Lions Club received its charter in 1964 Stittsville District Lions Club was October 19, 1964 but Lionism in Stittsville was not born on that particular night. Rather, it had been born in the preceding months when West Ottawa Lions Club members Lee Rickey and Fred Chapman sowed the seeds of Lionism in the community. These seeds were nourished by the efforts of such people as Denny Graham, Roger Lessard, Ernie Moore and Bud Haw, who talked things up in the community and held organization meetings in the basement of the village municipal office. It was from these preliminary meetings that the formation of the Stittsville District Lions Club happened. The Charter Night itself was a gala affair which was held at the Ambassador Hall in Westboro. Over 400 persons attended this charter night which was presided over by Gerry Cummings, president of the West Ottawa Lions Club which was the sponsoring club for Stittsville. For most of its first 15 years of existence, the Stittsville District Lions Club held its regular meetings in the basement hall of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville,
John Curry

News - Everywhere in Canada, Lionism has come to be synonymous with community service and in Stittsville, it has been no different. Since 1964, the Stittsville District Lions Club has developed a record of community service and involvement of which both the Club itself and the community can be extremely proud. The Club’s fundraising and community work have been ongoing, with the value of its contributions to various community projects and initiatives being in the thousands of dollars. But the monetary value of the Lions work and contributions over the years since the Club’s formation in 1964 is not the most important result of its receipt of its charter from Lions International in 1964. What has been the Club’s most important contribution to the community has been the fact that it has brought together a group of citizens who, selflessly and without personal gain, have worked to help make the Stittsville community a better place in which to live. The official charter night of the
although for a time the meetings alternated between the Presbyterian Church and Wesley United Church. In 1979/80, the Lions Club built the Stittsville Medical Centre on Stittsville Main Street, with the downstairs of the building becoming the Club’s permanent meeting hall. The hall also served as a meeting room for Stittsville groups, such as the Brownies and the Stittsville District Snowmobile Club. Over the years, it has provided much needed meeting space in the community. Not only that but the hall has been used extensively for receptions as well as family and group functions. Several years after its formation, with the opening of the new Stittsville arena in 1971, the Stittsville District Lions Club undertook its first big challenge, the raising of $10,000 for an artificial ice plant for the new arena. A successful marathon walk raised $7,000 in helping the Club achieve its goal. The Lions Club purchased the time clock for the arena and also helped out, along with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, with the purchase of a new Zamboni ice cleaning machine for the arena in the 1970’s.
Over the years, the Stittsville District Lions Club has supported minor hockey, public speaking, minor ball and intermediate hockey. Right from its beginning, the Stittsville District Lions Club was involved with the annual Christmas Cheer radio broadcast of the West Ottawa Lions Club on CFRA radio. In recent years, this radio broadcast has ceased but the Lions Club has continued with its Christmas fundraising, directing the funds raised to the Stittsville Food Bank and thus continuing to help the needy of the community. Welfare work, that is, being there with help when needed, has always been a masjor focus of the Stittsville District Lions Club. Christmas baskets have been one visible aspect of this welfare work; paying the heating bill for a fellow resident of the village suffering from hard times is another, more hidden aspect of the Club’s work. When a family was burned out of its home, losing everything, it was the Lions Club which pitched in and, along with neighbours and friends, raised much-needed money and helped rebuild the home. In 1979, the Stittsville District Lions Club undertook a $28,000 reno-
vation project at Alexander Grove ball diamond in Stittsville, rejuvenating the facility which had been first developed in the late 1940’s. This renovation project included new fencing and new lighting at the diamond. Later, the Club provided the Lion Denzil Graham scoreboard at Alexander Grove and further enhanced the facilities at Alexander Grove by erecting the Lion Ronnie Martin Pavilion there. The $80,000 Medical Centre building, constructed in 1979/80 by the Lions Club, was a major undertaking. The Club had planned the project for several years and, fully aware of the great need in the village at that time for a doctor’s services, kept working away at realizing the goal. With the establishment of the Medical Centre, a facility was in place which could house a doctor and it was not long before Dr. Jim Bell set up his practice in the facility. A dentist and a chiropractor later established their practices at the Medical Centre, showing that the building was serving the primary need for which it was built. See STITTSVILLE LIONS, page 46

Richmond District Lions Club reaches its 50th anniversary John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Richmond District Lions Club is now 50 years old. The Club received its charter in 1964, beginning its five decades of service, work, fun and fellowship in the Richmond community. The Richmond District Club began in 1964 as a result of the effort of the Ottawa West Lions Club and specifically the work of Lions Lee Rickey and Fred Chapman in planting the seeds of Lionism in outlying communities like Richmond and Stittsville. Indeed, both communities saw their local Lions Clubs chartered in the same year of 1964. But these seeds of Lionism could only sprout and grow by finding fertile â&#x20AC;&#x153;soilâ&#x20AC;? in which to flourish, and this was certainly the case in Richmond where 37 charter members signed up and started the Lions Legacy of Community work and service, a legacy which has continued over the past four decades with a vigour and effort that has seen Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lions involved in many community Initiatives and projects. Men such as Vince McDonald, Bill Evans, Jack Duffy and Ken Marshall saw the benefits of having a Lions Club in the community, and became stalwarts of the Club, setting
it on its course to become a respected and contributing organization in Richmond and area. Dr. Ken Hartin, a Richmond area native and respected veterinarian, became the charter president. Dr. Hartin proved to be a good choice as the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charter president, not only because he epitomized the Lions philosophy of caring and sharing in the community, but also because he had earlier in his life experienced the work of Lionism and, in fact, owed his career as a veterinarian to the support and help of Lions. Following the Second World War, Dr. Hartin wanted to go to veterinary college in Guelph but he had been turned down. It was through the efforts of Lions Club members from Ottawa that he was later admitted to the program. Lions involvement in his veterinarian education also took the form of a scholarship, assistance that Dr. Hartin readily admits was key in his being able to attend veterinary college. So, it was not surprising that Lionism found a ready and willing advocate in the Richmond community in Dr. Hartin. It also helped that Lion Lee Rickey of the West Ottawa Lions Club was also known to Dr. Hartin, as Dr. Hartinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother on the Hartin Richmond area farm used to deal with Mr. Rickey who operated a butcher
Stittsville Lions activities Continued from page 45
In 1987, the Lions Club put on an addition to the Medical Centre building to accommodate the need for more office space for the doctors. The basement area of this addition was made into a Lions Club lounge area which has become the site for Lions Club executive meetings, freeing up the larger Lions Hall for community use on such occasions. The Stittsville District Lions Club, since its inception in 1964, has made donations to many charities, has provided trophies and awards for schools, has supported the Canadian National Institute for the Blindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leader dog program, has at one time sponsored a June Jamboree fun event as well as a winter carnival, has sponsored local euchre parties and has made a major financial contribution to area hospitals. In the five year period 2001-2006, the Stittsville District Lions Club contributed approximately $140,000 to help with capital expenditures at the queensway Carleton, Carleton Place, Elizabeth Bruyere and St. Vincent hospitals. For several years, the Club operated a refreshment booth at the Capi-
tal City Speedway on highway seven west of Stittsville. This was a major source of revenue for the Club, allowing it to contribute to various community endeavours and needs. The Stittsville District Lions has been providing and putting up the Christmas lights at Village Square Park and also at the Stittsville Main Street/Hazeldean Road entrance to Stiuttsville for about the past decade. The Club also participates in the annual Christmas Parade of Lights, collecting food and donations for the Stittsville Food Bank along the parade route. In its 2006-2007 Lions year, Rosemary Brummell became the first female member in the history of the Stittsville District Lions Club when she transferred to the Club from the Richmond District Lions Club. Beth Lewis and Patricia Peskett were inducted as new Stittsville District Lions Club members that same year. Wives and partners of Lions Club members have belonged, over the years, to the Stittsville Lionettes, a group which has helped the Lions in their community projects and other activities. The Lionettes marked their 40th anniversary this year.

shop in the Westboro area. Dr. Hartin remembers attending organizing meetings at the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church hall with enthusiastic future Lions like Ken Marshall, Bill Evans and Vince McDonald. Looking back now on these beginnings of the Lions Club, The fledging Lions Club helped the Richmond community come together, with members from all walks of life and all segments of the com-
munity working together for the good of the overall village and area. The fact that the charter group included clergy from three Richmond churches shows the non-denominational and widespread community focus of the Richmond Lions Club, as is expected of Lionism everywhere. It was in April, 1964, that the Richmond District Club held its gala charter night, formally creating the Club that would become the backbone
of much of the community work in Richmond over the next five decades. The West Ottawa Lions Club was the new clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formal sponsor. Serving on the inaugural executive with Dr. Hartin, the president, were Ken Marshall as first vice-president, Vince McDonald as second vicepresident, Lorne McClintock as treasurer and Walter Reid as secretary.

ARE YOU UNHAPPY WITH YOUR PERCEIVED LACK OF KINDERGARTEN OPTIONS? WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO AN OPEN INFORMATION SESSION ABOUT OUR NEW, LOW-RATIO, PROVINCIALLY INFORMED KINDERGARTEN CURRICULUM, COMMENCING THIS MONTH, RUNNING CONCURRENTLY WITH THE SCHOOL BOARDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S CURRICULUM, ALLOWING FOR AN EASY TRANSFER FROM YOUR CURRENT SCHOOL INTO OUR PROGRAM.

Not only do kindergarten classes in Ottawa school boards now commonly hold adult:child ratios of over 50% more than those of kindergarten classes in the childcare sector, they are now combining junior and senior kindergartners so as to lessen the dependence load on teachers. This means that not only does your child receive less face-time with a teacher, but the group learning time in class is also split between children from two different developmental stages. Our Kindergarten program will provide Junior and Senior Kindergarten, separately, at ratios of 1:10 and 1:12, respectively. Our Educators (ECE and ECE/B.Ed.) will teach a curriculum richly balanced with information-sharing and play-based learning experiences. Through our program, our students will meet and surpass all ADKexpected proďŹ ciencies, as they will have more than double the amount of adult-child interactions and opportunities for hands-on learning experiences.
The cost for this low-ratio Kindergarten program includes am/pm snacks and lunch, as well as before and after school childcare on-sight at the centre (open 7am to 6 pm). If you have any questions about our new program, please contact Zoe at 613-831-0774 or brownbear_daycarecr@bellnet.ca. R0012941019-1009

The 37 charter members of the Richmond District Lions Club were Bob Adams, Jack Chanonhouse, Joe Dallaire, Justin Dervin, Jack Duffy, George Eadie, Bill Evans, Rev. T. Farrell, Edgar Gamgle, Ken Hartin, Wally Johnston, Arnold Kittle, Tony Koritsaris, Maurice Lavoie, Rev. W. H. LeGrow, Archie MacDougall, Lorne McClintock, Vince McDonald, Ken Marshall, R.H. Moore, Ken Moore, Rev. A. J. Poole, Walter Reid, Everett Rea, Bill Salter, Norm Seabrooke, Bill Smith, Bert Spratt, Aubrey Taylor, Ben Zegger, Al Dawson, Mancel Daly, Emmerson Hodgins, Jerry Hughes, Ernie Saumur, Duncan St. John and Harold Whaley. And with the charter of the Club began 50 years of Lions projects, fundraising and work in the community, all done while also providing a forum where members would be respected for their views, where members would work hard together for the betterment of the community and where members would not forget that fun and fellowship have a role to play in Lionism, alongside serving the community and meeting its needs. And what a half century it has been, with the Lions Club involved in major projects such as the Richmond Lions Community Park, to giving funding donations to other community organizations, to raising funds through a variety of ways, from selling chocolate Easter bunnies to trip draws, to taking part in events such as the Richmond Fair Parade to just having some plain good old fun, like putting on skits at its meetings. The Club has given numerous donations such as to the Kemptville Hospital for equipment; to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital to furnish rooms; and a $1,000 donation in 1976 to help with the construction and furnishing of the new Richmond library. Over the years, the Richmond District Lions Club has held regular dinner meetings, with a great variety of guest speakers who have told the Lions about such diverse topics as heart pacemakers, population growth, rabies, Ontario’s Heritage, Africa, child discipline, real estate and Alcoholics Anonymous, among others.. The Lions Club did use the Richmond Memorial Community Centre for its regular dinner meetings, but in 1973, the site for these dinner meetings was switched to the St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Richmond. The Richmond District Lions Club became involved with the annual Lions Christmas Cheer Broadcast on radio station CFRA right from the start, as it was a project of the Club’s sponsoring club, the West Ottawa Lions Club. This dedication to helping the less fortunate at Christmas time continues today, not through the broadcast but through a community-based initiative in which the Lions canvass business and residents for donations, as well as doing its own fundraising with such initiatives as “Care For A Cause”, in which the club collects beer empties in conjunction with the LCBO in Richmond, with the proceeds going to Christmas cheer. The Lions now work through the Richmond Food Bank, providing financial assistance to ensure that the less fortunate in the Richmond community have a happy Christmas. For many years,
the Richmond Lions members themselves had delivered Christmas food hampers to the less fortunate around Richmond. Through such personal contact, Lions members were able to see for themselves just how appreciated and needed their Christmas Cheer efforts were. The Richmond Lions Community Park in Richmond bears the Richmond Lions name because it was the club’s major financial commitment to this park that really provided the spark that made the park a reality. From about 1967 for about 12 years, the Richmond District Lions Club had tried to do something about the lack of recreation facilities in Richmond, specifically a swimming pool, and had got nowhere, except for raising a considerable amount of money. Initially, under the instigation of Lion Bill Evans and others, the Club had raised funds through walkathons and other means to help finance a swimming pool at South Carleton High School. When this idea was rejected by the school board, the Lions Club found itself with funds but still no recreation facilities in the community. In January, 1979, the Richmond District Lions Club made the offer to Goulbourn township that the Club would donate $25,000 to he used in the construction of recreation facilities in Richmond, mainly at a central recreation area that the township was considering purchasing. One reason for doing this was that the municipality could leverage such funds for additional Wintario grants, something which was not open to do for the Club itself. The township proceeded to purchase the 20 acres of what is now the Richmond Lions Community Park for $90,000, using funds from the Richmond lot fee account, with the Lions funds used to develop facilities on the lands. It was subsequently decided that the most fitting name for the new recreation area in Richmond would be the Richmond Lions Community Park. The Richmond District Lions Club has brought the community numerous nights of entertainment by holding some of the village’s most remembered social events. Over the years, the Club has held New Year’s Eve dances, beach parties and of course the Big Bash dances which for years were “the” major social event of the year in Richmond. Held on the ice slab at the Richmond arena in June, starting in the 1970’s and running into the 1980’s, the Big Bash not only was a major fundraising event for the Club, with an elimination draw as part of the evening, but also was a gala social event, with a dance, entertainment and a dinner. It was an event big enough that virtually anyone in the village who wanted to attend was able to do so. This event was also good for the club, in that it built camaraderie and fellowship. Chairs and tables had to be obtained and set up and taken down, decorations had to be put up, the bar had to be tended through the evening, tickets had to be sold for the elimination draw and so on. Lots of work had to be done and many willing Lions hands chipped in to do it. The Lions are a regular entry in the annual Richmond Fair parade, always making it an enjoyable event as they made their way along the parade route. There was the yellow worm

In 1981, the club purchased an eight foot by 15 foot trailer to use for preparing and serving this “bacon on a bun”. The Richmond District Lions Club has been visible and working in the community over the years. A sampling of some of the varied activities and projects which the Lions Club has done over the years is as follows: * Hosting a firemen’s appreciation night dinner; * Providing financial help to groups as diverse as the Girl Guides and Brownies, the Richmond Skating Club, the Richmond Refugee Committee, the Richmond Junior B Royals and the Richmond Curling Club; * Helping support special events such as the Terry Kerr Night in 1981 when the community rallied being Terry Kerr who had been injured in an accident;. * Providing the newly formed Richmond Rebels drum corps with start-up costs; * Providing volunteer help for the annual Richmond Road Races every January; * Sponsoring a Christmas parade in December; * Contributing to the efforts of the Richmond Village Association in beautifying the village; * Erecting a wrought iron service club sign in 1981 at the corner of Perth Street and the Shea Road, using proceeds which the Club made from its involvement with the Richmond 160th anniversary celebrations in 1978;

Flag raising marks ‘Lions of Ottawa Month’ john.curry@metroland.com
News - A white and yellow flag bearing the Lions logo is flying high above Festival Plaza at Ottawa city hall. It’s all part of the declaration of this October as “Lions of Ottawa Month” in order to recognize the years of community service provided by the 16 Lions Clubs in the city of Ottawa over the years. It is an initiative which came about at the instigation of the Stittsville District Lions Club as it is preparing to celebrate its 50th charter anniversary later this month. The Club’s 50th anniversary committee managed to arrange this municipal proclamation of “Lions of Ottawa Month” along with a special flag raising ceremony that happened last Friday at Festival Plaza at Ottawa city hall. Representatives from most of the 16 Lions Clubs within the city of Ottawa were in attendance for this flag raising ceremony which included the participation of city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. Sunny, warm weather prevailed for the flag raising ceremony which began at 11:30 a.m. when bagpiper
Jordan McConnell of Stittsville, grandson of the late Ivan Warner who was a member of the Stittsville District Lions Club, led a processing of dignitaries onto Festival Plaza including Lions District Governor Richard McCauley, past Lions international director Ernie Moore, mayor Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Lions Past District Governor Bill Dixon of the Perth Lions Club, who served as the MC for the event, explained that this ceremony was providing Lions with a great opportunity to proclaim all the good work that they do, noting the hundreds of years of service which the Lions Clubs in the city of Ottawa had provided over the years. Mayor Jim Watson, in his remarks, commended the 16 Lions Clubs in the city for their years of service over the years, noting that the Clubs have done a remarkable amount of work both locally and internationally. The mayor noted that the Lions have a strong presence in all parts of the city – urban, suburban and rural, adding that Lions Clubs are front and centre at community events in all of these areas. He thanked the Lions Club for the

work that they do, not only in raising funds for community and international projects but also for all of the lives that they touch with their work. A proclamation identifying the month of October as “Lions of Ottawa Month” was read out. One of the speakers at the event was Lions past international director Ernie Moore, now a member of the Perth Lions Club but a charter member and indeed charter president of the Stittsville District Lions Club back in 1964. He recounted how Lions began in 1917 in the United States and became an international organization in 1920 when it spread to Canada with a Club being formed in Windsor. He said that Lions, now three and a half million members strong, can be found in 207 countries around the world. He noted that the 16 Lions Clubs in the city of Ottawa all live up to the Lions motto of “We Serve.” Mr. Moore noted that it was Helen Keller who urged Lions Clubs to become advocates for the blind and working to help the blind and visually impaired has been a longtime mission of Lions Clubs. The Lions guide dog program in Canada has trained a total of 2,194 dogs including see-

ing eye dogs, hearing dogs, service dogs, seizure dogs and autism/diabetes dogs. He said that Lions Clubs support many causes in their local communities such as supporting playgrounds, sports teams and helping people afflicted with disease or needing help. He noted that Lions Clubs not only support needs in the local community but also are involved in global initiatives as well. A group including mayor Watson, councillor Qadri, District Governor Richard McCauley, Mr. Moore and Stittsville District Lions Club members Beth Lewis and Al Zoschke formally cranked the Lions flag up the tall flagpole, one of a number which stand between Festival Plaza and the adjacent Laurier Avenue. Applause rang out from the assembled crowd of Lions and supporters as the flag reached the top of the pole about 12:05 p.m. and fluttered in the wind. Of the 16 Lions Clubs in the city of Ottawa, several are marking milestone anniversaries this year. Both the Stittsville and Richmond Lions Club are marking their 50th anniversary year this year, both having been founded in 1964. The Metcalfe Lions Club is mark-

ing its 55th anniversary year this year, having been founded in 1959. The Manotick Lions Club is marking 30 years this year while the Gloucester North Club is celebrating its 20th anniversary year. The presence of Lions Clubs in the city of Ottawa goes back to 1922 when the first Lions Club in the area, the Ottawa-Vanier Club, received its charter. It now has 92 years of service to its credit. The 16 Lions Clubs in the city of Ottawa, their year of founding and years of service is as follows: Ottawa-Vanier, founded 1922, 92 years of service; Ottawa West, founded 1950, 64 years of service; Navan, founded 1951, 63 years of service; Ottawa South, founded 1956, 58 years of service; Metcalfe, founded 1959, 55 years of service; Richmond, founded 1964, 50 years of service; Stittsville, founded 1964, 50 years of service; Cumberland, founded 1967, 47 years of service; Gloucester, founded 1968, 46 years of service; Orleans, founded 1970, 44 years of service; KanataHazeldean, founded 1977, 37 years of service; Osgoode, founded 1978, 36 years of service; See LIONS, page 53

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Rare indeed were the times we girls of the Northcote School were ever invited to play at Marguirite’s home. But that week nine of us, all who were in the junior grades, got little invitations handed out by Marguirite herself. They were done up with real printing, no doubt on one of those new typewriters that we read about in the Ottawa Farm Journal, and we were all invited to a party
Marguirite felt birthday gift was lacking
to celebrate Marguirite’s eighth birthday. Well. This demanded a meeting at the Northcote School, let me tell you. Cora said we should all just not go. Joyce said that would be very bad manners. Velma and I said we wouldn’t miss it for the world. For days, we could talk about nothing else. I was the only one who had ever been in Marguirite’s house, and that was a day I would

be happy to forget about. I barely got my nose inside the door when Marguirite and I got into an argument, and I was hustled home in her mother’s car before I had a chance to even have a good look around. I knew for a fact there were electric lights and a flush toilet, because Marguirite made sure we all knew about her modern conveniences. And there I was gypped out of trying either. Imagine a flush toilet, not a little hut behind the cedar trees at the back of the house, and electric lights just like they had in the houses in Renfrew. The party was on a Saturday, and we were all decked out in our very best clothes -- the ones we wore to church on Sundays. When we arrived on the dot, Marguirite looked like she had just stepped out of a gift box. Her artificial curls were tight around her head and looked for all the world like little golden sausages. I could have sworn she had on lipstick and a spattering of rouge. Her mother shook hands with us, just like the minister did after church on Sunday, and it didn’t take long for her to get us playing games, quiet ones, like snakes and ladders and Chinese checkers, and there were prizes for the winners. Finally, we are shuffled out of the parlour and into the dining room -- Joyce’s house was the only one I knew of which had a dining room -- the rest of us ate our meals around old pine tables in our kitchens. There was even a white table cloth spread out, and in the very centre of the table was a cake with candles, and in front of each of our plates was a little bag like Mr. Briscoe used to measure out black pepper. A gift for each of us to take home. But before we could have our cake, Mar-
guirite’s mother brought in all our presents and put them in front of her in a heap. My gift seemed to be the biggest in the pile, but I had taken a heart shaped box that had once held chocolates, and arranged inside of it a lace hanky Aunt Lizzie had sent me in the handme-down box. There was certainly no money for frivolities like expensive birthday presents. Even at that, I hated giving up the little hanky, the only nice one I had with real lace on it. And the box had held little treasures I had collected, like shiny stones, my own hankie with a few pennies tied in a corner, and hair ribbons I kept for special occasions. And there I was handing over two of my most precious possessions to a girl who did nothing but cause me anguish at the Northcote School. Finally, she was down to my present. Marguirite tore into the parcel, which I thought was very extravagant indeed. We would have saved the paper at our house. I could tell she loved the heart shaped box, with the hand-painted face on the top. She lifted the lid and gazed at the lace hanky, which I read immediately as pure delight. She took out the hanky, and stared at the inside of the box. Then she said, “Where’s the chocolates?” Her mother quickly held up the hanky and made clucking sounds of approval, while Marguirite looked at me as if I had just stolen eggs out of their chicken coop. While the cake was doled out, Marguirite never took her eyes off me, and I had the worst urge to ask for both the hanky and the heart shaped box back. And I couldn’t wait for the party to be over.

sifted Preparation In a large saucepan or deepfryer, heat the oil over mediumhigh heat to about 182 C (360 F) on candy thermometer. Reduce heat when the temperature is reached. (If you’re not ready to start frying, remove the pot from stove.) In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.

If needed, touch the fritters gently on top to flip them. With a slotted spoon, remove the hot fritters to a paper towel-lined plate. Cut one fritter open to check if it’s cooked through and adjust time or temperature. After draining about one minute, dust with icing sugar.

The WOSC will be holding an ongoing series of raffles and 50/50 draws as another fundraising tool, with the raffles and draws being centered around the Club’s Sunday indoor soccer season. In addition, a merchandise site to help support the Melone family as their six year old daughter Vanessa is battling a rare form of cancer. This merchandise site for t-shirts and hoodies has been set up through teesforthepeople.com, a web-

It was back in July when the biopsy results for then five year old Vanessa Melone were received and the Melone family of Richmond discovered that Vanessa had an rare strain of leukemia, Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm (BPDCN). It is so rare that there are no formal studies on it and it is presumed that there are only 100 or so cases of the disease diagnosed worldwide every year. Since August, Vanessa has made countless trips to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) and spent her sixth birthday receiving chemotherapy treatment. She has now successfully passed her induction process and is onto a consolidation phase. Amedeo Melone, Vanessa’s

I miss hearing your voice and your sense of humor. But most of all I miss watching the Leaf games and laughing together. I took for granted all the times I thought would last forever.

Goulbourn Male Chorus is to sing at handbell concert Special to the News
News - The bells will be ringing at the new Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 26. That’s when “An Afternoon of Handbells and Song” will be presented starting at 3 p.m. This concert will feature not only the handbell ensembles at Trinity Presbyterian Church but also will include the La Belle Ensemble Handbell Choir of Rideau Park United Church in Alta Vista under the direction of Marcia Gosse and the St. Andrew’s Ringers of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Ottawa under the direction of Lynn Boothroyd. Each of the handbell choirs and ensembles will be performing solo selections as well as joining together with the other instrumentalists at the concert to ring the opening and closing selections for the concert. The “song” part of the connection will be provided by soprano Morgan Strickland as well as the Goulbourn Male Chorus under the direction of music director Robert Dueck of Stittsville. All of this music will be supported by the Trinity Brass and Strings as well as by a guest accompanist. The Handbell Ensembles of Trinity Presby-
terian Church have performed as guest artists at the recent Christmas concerts of the Goulbourn Male Chorus and the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, both directed by Robert Dueck. The handbell program at Rideau Park United Church is currently the most active handbell program in the city of Ottawa. Both the Rideau Park and the St. Andrew’s Ringers are considered to being the longest running handbell programs in the city of Ottawa, both dating back to the mid 1970’s. Soprano Morgan Strickland, who will be a special guest at the concert, studied voice at the University of Ottawa and is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of Music. The handbell/handchime program at Trinity Presbyterian Church began in the early 2000’s. The Trinity Hilltop Ringers, which is the adult handbell choir at Trinity Presbyterian Church, is under the leader of David Chin who is the minister of music at the church. The church’s handbell small ensemble groups are coached by Stuart Belson. This family is meant to be a family-oriented concert. A freewill offering will be taken to support the music and other programs at Trinity Presbyterian Church. Everyone is welcome to attend.

News - Blueberries, raspberries and cranberries are some of nature’s real treats. And now you can get any or all of them from the Munster United Church. The church is once again this year selling frozen blueberries, raspberries and cranberries, with the pickup being on Saturday, Nov. 8. If you would like more information or would like to order some, please contact Pat at 613-838-2868. Blueberries are right up there in popularity among consumers of berries and have one of the highest antioxidant capacities among all foods. Antioxidants are essential to optimizing health by helping to protect cellular structures. Blueberries not only boast great flavour but have these significant nutritional and health benefits. Blueberries are one of the few fruits native to North America. Raspberries, while also being good to eat, have health benefits as well. Raspberries are known for their anti-cancer benefits due to their antioxidant and anti-inflamatory aspects. In addition, recent research indicates that raspberries may have an impact on preventing non-cancerous cells from becoming cancerous. And then there’s cranberries. Of course, we all know of cranberries because cranberry sauce is a traditional accompaniment to turkey at Thanksgiving. Raw cranberries are known for their nutrient content and antioxidant qualities. Cranberries are particularly noted for helping prevent urinary tract infections. So, blueberries, raspberries and cranberries are not only full of flavour but they also all have health benefits, making their purchase and consumption a win-win scenario.

info session for caregivers of persons with mental illness Special to the News
News - Caregivers of individuals with mental illness frequently have to manage difficult emotions such as anger, anxiety, sorrow and fear. All of these emotions can have an impact on aspects of their lives, including self-esteem and sense of self, the ability to cope and interpersonal relationships. To help such caregivers in such situations, The Oasis in Kanata, a community outreach program of the glen Cairn United Church which holds information sessions on topics of interest to caregivers of persons with mental illness is holding an information session called “Managing Difficult Emotions” on Tuesday, Oct. 21. The session will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata. The session is free to everyone and there is no registration required. Guest presenter at this session will be Dr. Gretchen Conrad, a clinical psychologist with The Ottawa Hospital. She will review aspects of recognizing and managing intense and difficult emotions. She will also deal with how to under-
stand, tolerate and untangle certain types of emotions, how to communicate feelings, how to increase positive emotions and how to take control over difficult situations. Caregivers of those with a mental illness often feel like they are walking on egg shells, never really sure when an explosive episode will occur or what will cause it. Living with such uncertainty and its resultant stress for prolonged periods of time while also experiencing the ongoing pressures of advocating for a loved one within today’s complex mental health system can potentially have severe and long-term emotional and physical consequences for a caregiver’s own health. This session is meant to help such caregivers look after themselves so that they can better cope with their fears, frustrations and feelings of isolation and helplessness. For more information about this “Managing Difficult Emotions” information session for caregivers of individuals with a mental illness, please visit The Oasis in Kanata website at www.TheOasisKanata. ca, email info@TheOasisKanata.ca or call 613-435-1100.

Hydro Ottawa partners with United Way to help agencies Special to the News
News - It’s a simple, easy way to help out agencies serving those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Just sign up for paperless billing with Hydro Ottawa before the end of this year and Hydro Ottawa will make a $5 donation on your behalf to the utility’s Brighter Tomorrows Fund. This Brighter Tomorrows Fund helps agencies serving people who are homeless or at risk of homeless to reduce their electricity operating costs so that more resources can be directed into programs for people in need. Over the past four years, this Brighter Tomorrows Fund has given nearly $530,000 to 50 projects with this goal. The funds have come from the generosity of Hydro Ottawa and its employees but now every customer can also contribute by going paperless in billing. This year Hydro Ottawa has partnered with United Way to provide funding frontline agencies to allow them to invest in energy efficient products and services that will cut energy use.

Corporate matching dollars from Hydro Ottawa’s annual United Way workplace campaign provides the financial foundation for the Brighter Tomorrows Fund. Hydro Ottawa’s United Way workplace campaigns have raised more than $1.5 million since 2001.
And the receiving agencies appreciate this financial support from Hydro Ottawa’s Brighter Tomorrows Fund. “We are so grateful to Hydro Ottawa and United Way for all the support they have provided to Shepherds of Good Hope through the Brighter Tomorrows Fund,” said Shepherds of Good Hope CEO Deirdre Freiheit. “Their assistance has made significant capital improvements in our facilities which helps to save money and increases our ability to provide for the over 1600 people we serve each day,” she said. The receiving agencies will carry out a variety of energy efficient replacements and upgrades as a result of this funding from the Brighter Tomorrows Fund and the province. This will include in some cases installing high efficiency heating and cooling systems, purchasing new energy efficient appliances, replacing drafty windows and upgrading lighting systems.
