Here comes the Pumpkin Parade John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Halloween is coming and that means not only lots of trick or treating on Monday, Oct. 31 but it also means that the fourth annual Stittsville Pumpkin Parade will be happening on Tuesday evening, Nov. 1. It’s one of the fun events of Halloween in Stittsville and means that your jack-o’-lantern can live another day past Halloween itself. The Stittsville Pumpkin Parade happens at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. It is an event both for those with carved pumpkins and also for those who just want to see hundreds of carved pumpkins on display throughout the park. Electric candles will be provided so that your jack-o’lantern can have one final opportunity to glow before it’s

off to the compost pile. That’s another benefit of this Stittsville Pumpkin Parade – your jack-o’lantern gets an additional evening to flicker in the evening darkness, after which Stittsville Pumpkin Parade organizer Trevor Eggleton and his crew of volunteers will look after disposing of your pumpkin, getting it off to the compost pile. This year’s Stittsville Pumpkin Parade on Tuesday, Nov. 1 begins at 6 p.m. with everything expected to be wrapped up by 7:15 p.m. or so. This will give everyone lots of time to check out all of the carved pumpkins glowing in the darkness. And, of course, there’s voting for your favourite. Yes, that’s right, anyone who shows up gets an opportunity to vote for a favourite jack-o’-lantern. And your vote will make a difference because there are prizes available for the pumpkins receiving the most votes. Prizes will be given out in three categories: adult, teens and kids. In the adult category, the prizes are being provided by Covered Bridge Brewery and Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. Prizes in the teen category will be tickets to an Ottawa SenaJOHN CURRY/METROLAND tors game. Prizes in the kids’ category will be provided by Tracy’s Art Studio Kaya Eggleton (left) and Lilia Eggleton (right) flank a sign publicizing the upcoming Stittsville Pumpkin Parade which is being held on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. at Village of Stittsville.

99th birthday for Margaret Kessels John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The number “13” has popped up quite often in the life of Margaret Kessels of Stittsville. It started right at the beginning of her life as she was born on Oct. 13. Indeed, it was

on this past Thursday, Oct. 13 that Margaret celebrated her 99th birthday. But “13” has been a part of her life for more than just her birthday. She recalls that in 1925, when she was seven years old, she was involved in a car accident in her native Holland on the 13th day of a month.

Art show and sale held in two-car garage John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A two-day art sale by Stittsville artist Trudy Daley and Stittsville photographer Sylvie Sabourin has given a whole new meaning to the term “garage sale.” Usually a “garage sale” refers to a sale of unwanted odds and ends that are being offered to get rid of them. But for Trudy and Sylvie, their “garage sale” was anything but this. Their “garage sale” was a show and sale of their exquisite art and photographic work. But, yes, it was an art show and sale held in a garage. It was Trudy’s idea to convert her home’s attached two-car garage in

Stittsville into a temporary two-day art gallery. The garage features drywalled walls which have been painted by Trudy herself. The painted floor is also spotlessly clean. Trudy asked Stittsville photographer Sylvie Sabourin to join her in her garage show and sale. Their art work – Trudy’s paintings and Sylvie’s photographs – was hung for display on the walls by strings attached to curtain rods which have been installed high up on each side wall of the garage. Flower pots at the garage door entrances added to the overall appearance of the event. Trudy had a number of her paintings on display in the show and sale, mainly landscapes and flo-

rals. A number of them had been exhibited previously at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville. Both Trudy and Sylvie belong to the owaa and are regular exhibitors in owaa exhibitions at the GRC. Sylvie had a number of her framed photographs on display in this garage art show and sale which was held on Friday, Oct. 14 and Saturday, Oct. 15. Sylvie also had some greeting cards for sale as well as copies of her coffee table photography book “Emotions.” She has another similar book in the works now which should be available soon.

Give away weekend at curb this weekend Special to the News

It’s fall give away weekend this Saturday, Oct. 22 and Sunday, Oct. 23. This is when homeowners have the opportunity to put out by the curb any items that they wish to give away, reducing clutter in their home. And other homeowners and city residents use the occasion to tour around neighbourhoods, seeking hidden treasures in the items being given away by others.

Items that are given away include books, CD’s, furniture, small appliances, kitchen dishes, pots and pans and more. Items should be placed at the curb with stickers or signs on them with the word “FREE.” At the end of the weekend, any uncollected items should be returned to the home. Those touring around, collecting items, are reminded to respect people’s private property.

Donations wanted for Food Bank, Tysen’s ‘Mission’ Continued from page 1

All of these prizes have been donated by the respective businesses/donors. Besides enjoying all of the carved pumpkins, those attending the Stittsville Pumpkin Parade will be able to enjoy some free hot chocolate provided by Quitters Coffee Shop of Stittsville. Those participating in or attending this Stittsville Pumpkin Parade are being encouraged to take along a donation to the Stittsville Food Bank. In addition, donations will be collected at the park in support of Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission to a Million” campaign raising funds for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. This will be the fourth annual Stittsville Pumpkin Parade which was the idea of Trevor Eggleton of Stittsville who has remained as the event’s chief organizer. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and his staff help out with the event

as do a number of young volunteers, ensuring that the event runs smoothly with everyone getting to enjoy their “stroll” through the carved pumpkin patch that Village Square Park becomes on this one evening of the year. Everyone is welcome to attend, either to display a family jack-o’-lantern or just to admire the many jack-o’-lanterns which will be on display. Remember – this Stittsville Pumpkin Patch happens on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 6 p.m. at Village Square Park in Stittsville. Give that carved pumpkin of yours one last chance to bring Halloween happiness to onlookers of all ages! A jack-o’-lantern is a carved pumpkin associated with Halloween. The top of the pumpkin is cut off to form a lid while the inside is scooped out and an image, usually a scary or comical face, is carved out of one side of the pumpkin to reveal the hallow interior which is illuminated with a light

source. It is common to see jack-o’-lanterns on doorsteps and in windows of homes on Halloween and as decorations in various locations in the time leading up to Halloween. It is believed that the custom of making jack-o’-lanterns at Halloween began in Ireland in the 19th century. At Halloween in 1835, the Dublin Penny Journal carried a lengthy article on the legend of “Jack-o’-the-Lantern.” The Nov. 1, 1866 edition of the Daily News in Kingston, ON records the carved pumpkin lantern’s association with Halloween. On Oct. 19, 2013, Keene, New Hampshire set the world record for most lit jacko’-lanterns on display in one place with 30,581 jack-o’-lanterns on display. On Oct. 31, 2005, Scott Cully carved the world’s largest jack-o’-lantern from what was then the world’s largest pumpkin in Northern Cambria, Pennsylvania.

Jack MacLaren Member of Provincial Parliament Carleton-Mississippi Mills

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

Approximately 45,000 residents of Ottawa, many in rural communities, who are already facing excessive hydro bills, may face a new tax from the City of Ottawa on storm water...or as I like to call it, a new tax on the rain. Residents facing this new tax will not receive a new service, and will not see their property taxes decrease commensurately. When any level of government introduces a new tax that will not provide a new service or will not be offset by decreases in other taxes, we have a catchy saying: it’s a tax grab.

I have no doubt that city planners are facing a budget shortfall. But I am confident that if they look closely enough across all their spending priorities, they can find savings elsewhere. The last thing City Council needs to do is slap a new tax on the rain, or whatever else, to make up for bad management of money.

1464 Stittsville Main St. Stittsville, ON

Ottawa residents are already paying too much for hydro, too much on property taxes, and too much on new provincial fees on just about every service.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Sooner than later would be better

long with the much-ballyhooed lightrail tunnel being built under downtown, another tunnel is planned. It will one day hold water from large storms so it is not simply dumped â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sewage and all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; into the Ottawa River. The plans for this giant holding tank â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the most important bit of the Ottawa River Action Plan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been on the drawing board for far too long. The city has the cash from other levels of government to start work, and we hope to see that work started as soon as possible. The background: the older parts of the city have pipes that carry both sewage from homes and storm water from the streets. When a big storm hits, the combined water is more than our sewage treatment plant can handle, and the overflow has to go somewhere. Today that somewhere is the Ottawa River. When the storage tunnel is complete, it is designed to hold the massive inflow of water and let it flow to the treatment system at a controlled rate. In a perfect world, the system would see all the

combined pipes separated, so sewage is treated and rain water is sent straight to the river. But the cost of that work would be even more than the $62 million earmarked for the holding tunnel. It will be money well spent. It will mean the river will be cleaner and some beaches downstream will be swimmable more days each year. But it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be perfect. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because storm water from other areas of the city heads straight to the Ottawa River without any treatment. And that water contains plenty of pet waste â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enough to bump up bacteria levels and make downstream beaches unsafe for people to swim. If various levels of government are going to spend $62 million on a water tunnel, it would make sense if the city spent a few drops of that money on public education about, and enforcement of, existing stoopand-scoop laws. We all share the river. We can all swim in it when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean. Everyone should do their part to keep it that way.

Teaching kids about money valuable lesson

hanksgiving dinner was barely finished when the kids piped up about what they wanted for Christmas. It was the perfect opportunity to have the conversation about money Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been wanting to have with them for a while, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honestly know what to say. My son, fresh from a windfall known as his tenth birthday, had spent his money 10 times over in his head before making a decision four months later. His choices included an Xbox, a new bike, sports clothes or a Chromebook. He was shy of the money for any one of those things and spent weeks negotiating with parents and grandparents ways of earning extra should he need it. In the end he decided what he really, desperately needed was a real

BRYNNA LESLIE Capital Muse skateboard. Every motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream. Once he had the idea cemented, he was relentless about making up the shortfall. He raked leaves, mowed the lawn, babysat his sister and lost three baby teeth all in a single week. The whole situation made me realize Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been slacking on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;teaching kids about moneyâ&#x20AC;? thing. A while ago, I told the older kids theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get a weekly allowance if they cleaned their room every Saturday. That means washing sheets, doing laundry and vacuuming. They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t routinely done

this for four months, which means any money theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received has been ad hoc. I reached out to Janet Gray, a financial planner with Money Coaches Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with giving money only for chores,â&#x20AC;? said Gray. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kids, no matter what, need to learn how to manage money, to make money successes and make money mistakes. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always tied to taking out the garbage and they never take out the garbage, they will never learn.â&#x20AC;? Gray recommends setting a baseline of money per week. A rule of thumb is 50 cents per year of age per week to avoid overindulgence. From there, kids can have the option to earn extra money through chores. More important, however, is what they do with that, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say, $5

The Irish experience in Canada John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

In his presentation at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s October meeting on Saturday, Oct. 15, guest speaker Terry Currie made one thing very clear about the experience of Irish immigrants in Upper Canada and the Ottawa Valley in the 19th century – it was very different from that experienced by the Irish in the United States. In the United States, he said, the Irish immigrants of the 19th century were considered the lowest of the low. These poor and uneducated immigrants suffered from antiCatholic sentiment and lived in slums in cities like Boston. Whereas anti-Catholic sentiment continued in the United States even to 1960 when Catholic John F. Kennedy was running for president, Canada saw two of what Currie called the three most important personages in Confederation times in Canada be Catholics, namely Louis-Hippolyte Lafontaine and Thomas D’Arcy McGee. In Upper Canada, the typical Irish Catholic immigrant at that time farmed 100 acres, owning crops and cattle and becoming a somewhat prosperous farmer. This was not the experience of Irish immigrants to the United States where Irish immigrants ended up in slums in Boston or New York and other cities, perhaps eventually getting to the Ohio valley frontier where land was available but where there was also killing of native Americans, unlike the peaceful co-existence which developed between Upper Canada’s Irish immigrants and Upper Canada’s natives. Currie referenced the writings of Thomas D’Arcy McGee as proof of this difference between the Irish in Canada and the Irish in the United States. He noted how McGee, a writer, had been sent to Canada from the United States in the late 1850’s to do an expose on the poor British treatment of the Irish. McGee travelled from the Maritimes through to Upper Canada and discovered that the Irish in Canada were much better off than the Irish in the United States, a view that angered his bosses back in the States. McGee said that whereas the Irish in the United States were considered “slum rats,” the Irish in Canada were treated no differently than anyone else. Indeed, the sub-title for Currie’s presentation on the Irish experience in Canada was “You’re not in Boston here, Paddy!”, highlighting the difference in the conditions for Irish immigrants in the two countries. And Irish came to Canada and the United States because of what Currie described as appalling con-

ditions in Ireland in the early 19th century. The Irish were so poor that they had to wear shirts made from grass. The level of destitution in Ireland was astounding, he said. These poor Irish basically existed on a diet of potatoes and goal’s milk or buttermilk. The only plus for such a diet was that it was very healthy. Indeed, this may account for the fact that the population of Ireland at that time was eight million people as compared to Ireland’s modern day population of three and a half million. By the time of the Irish famine in 1847, the Irish population had grown past 11 million people. It was Scottish weavers, unemployed after the end of the Napoleonic Wars with no more military uniforms to make, who first immigrated to Canada thanks to the presence of relatives in the Scottish garrison regiments stationed in the country. With free land available, their glowing letters back home about plentiful harvests of potatoes and wheat led not only to more Scottish immigrants but word also seeped through to the Irish who responded by sending a child to Canada with the hope that money would be made by this immigrant and the rest of the family could follow. The Irish flooded into the Ottawa Valley thanks to the fertile land which existed in places. And even if the land was not that good, “any land was a blessing,” Currie said, noting that the 100 acres available to an Irish immigrant was much larger than the 5.2 acres which was the average farm size in Ireland. In addition, there was always the timber trade and its need for big, strong labourers, something which the healthy Irish lads fit to a tee. The Canadian timber trade was flourishing and so work in the lumber camps was always there. In addition, the Irish got involved with the work of building the Rideau Canal where the Irish did the most dangerous work, perhaps in a careless and reckless fashion, as 3,000 Irish died in the Canal’s construction. But after the Canal was constructed, these Irish remained in Bytown and the area and also moved up the Ottawa River, populating the Valley. The Irish not only had the lumber camps as a source of income but the presence of white cedar in the area meant that a house could be built quickly. Currie said that the Irish fit in among the other nationalities in Canada perhaps because of the cold. It was too cold to kill each other, he surmised, suggesting that the

This comment drew a round of laughter from the capacity crowd listening to the presentation in the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

Got Events?

To begin this week, I just wanted to correct a comment that I have made in recent weeks. When providing background on the stormwater issue, I had said that Council made the decision to shift all stormwater costs to the water and sewer rate in April of 2001. In fact, it was the Corporate Services and Economic Development Committee that dealt with the issue in April. They ended up deferring the matter to their July 3rd meeting and Council did not approve it until their July 11th meeting. The report was titled “Financing Methods – Funding City Services” and included two key points that led us to the situation we are in today. One was that the General Tax Levy “include all services formerly included in the general levies of the area municipalities except… stormwater management.” Further along in the same motion, the Committee recommended to Council that “the stormwater management and sanitary sewerage programs be totally funded from sewer surcharges.” This passed at Committee and again at Council. Interestingly enough, Councillor Janet Stavinga actually voted against the matter at Committee. We are only dealing with this matter today because the rest of Council did not follow her lead. If you would be interested in reading the minutes or the report for yourself, please contact my office. For those of you who have attended one of our Mid-Term Town Hall meetings, you will know that we discuss the stormwater issue there. Although this item has been discussed at Committee this past Tuesday, I will continue to focus on the matter at future town hall meetings. With meetings in North Gower and Munster having occurred earlier this week, our next Town Hall meeting will take place at the Christ Church in Ashton on Wednesday, November 1st followed by our rural Stittsville meeting at the Goulbourn Town Hall on Monday, November 7th. Both meetings will begin at 7:00pm. Coach Houses The report on Coach Houses came before the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee on Thursday, October 6th. Some of the recommendations contained in the report stemmed from consultations in the urban area but the ensuing recommendation had a city-wide impact. As a result, ARAC voted to alter a recommended decrease in accessory building heights because this was not a prevalent issue in the rural area. Further, we discussed the minimum lot size for a coach house. The recommendation calls for a minimum lot size of 2 acres on private services. This is something that we are reviewing and, at the very least, members of ARAC will be pursuing a decrease in that minimum to 1 acre at the October 26th meeting of Council. The main point, however, is that the City has developed a process that will permit the addition of coach houses in the rural area and across the city. All that is left to work out are some fine details surrounding lot sizes and permitting. I will keep you updated on the matter in future columns. Land Evaluation and Area Review (LEAR) In November, the updated report on LEAR will come to both the Planning Committee and the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee. As Chair of the LEAR Working Group, this is something we have been working on for the better part of four years. The most interested parties in this endeavour would be landowners in or adjacent to lands already designated as Agricultural Resource Area on Schedule A of the City’s Official Plan. The Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton identified the existing Agricultural Resource Area in 1997 using a Land Evaluation and Area Review (LEAR) system. Key components of the LEAR system are soil capability for agriculture, land use and parcel size. New soils mapping and changes in land use and the size and nature of farms in the city over the last 20 years warrant re-examining and updating the existing LEAR system. The Ontario Municipal Board has also directed the City to complete this update. The LEAR Working Group is finalizing the changes to the LEAR system. Recommendations on possible changes, if any, to the Agricultural Resource Area will be made and notice of changes will be sent to all affected land owners. A draft Official Plan Amendment will be advertised, circulated and presented to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Planning Committees in November 2016 and Council in December 2016/ January 2017. If you have any questions on this review, please contact Bruce Finlay, Planner, at 613-580-2424, ext. 21850 or by e-mail at planning@ottawa.ca. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

October 20, 2016

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Board of Health Report On October 17, 2016 the Ottawa Board of Health formally received a report on Ottawa Public Health’s submission to the Federal Government’s Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation. The recommendations put forward by Ottawa Public Health’s professional staff reflected public health advice based on scientific evidence, which aims to reduce harms to all Canadians, especially youth. Since Ottawa Public Health’s report was published, there has been some media attention about these recommendations. For this reason I wanted to provide you with additional information about Ottawa Public Health’s submission to the Federal Task Force, as well as outline the next steps as the federal government moves towards legalizing cannabis. In 2015, the Government of Canada committed to legalizing, regulating, and restricting access to marijuana. Towards this goal, earlier this summer the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada, the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and the Minister of Health created the Task Force on Marijuana Legalization and Regulation. This Task Force invited Canadians and experts to provide comments on a discussion paper, which outlined considerations and posed specific questions about legalizing and regulating marijuana. In preparing its submission, Ottawa Public Health collaborated with other health units and took into consideration the positions taken by other health organizations as well as best practices and lessons learned with alcohol and tobacco control, with a focus on reducing the potential harms for the population as a whole. Like alcohol and tobacco, there are health risks associated with cannabis use. Ottawa Public Health has concerns about these harmful health effects, especially for people who use it frequently and/or begin to use it at an early age. Research has shown that early and regular use of cannabis during adolescence has negative impact on the brain structure, which affects its development and functioning. Based on these concerns, Ottawa Public Health recommended that the federal government consider a public health approach to the legalization of cannabis. The public health approach would include four guiding principles: • Investments in surveillance and research; • Investments for education; • Implementation of health protection measures; and • Sufficient supports for early identification and treatment. Next steps for the federal government will involve the Task Force presenting a final report in November 2016, which will provide advice to the Ministers on the design of a new legislative and regulatory framework. This final report will be made public by the Ministers at a time to be determined by them.

Granite Ridge Drive Hydro Ottawa Work Underway Hydro Ottawa is undertaking work on Granite Ridge Drive between Abbott Street East and just north of Cinnabar Way as part of ongoing upgrade projects in the area. The work has begun and Hydro Ottawa is hoping to have the work completed within 4 weeks. Residents with properties affected by this work should receive a handout in advance of the work being undertaken and there will be no power outages to any customer. This project does require the sidewalk to be removed and replaced, and the reinstatement has been requested to follow the excavation, so it is expected that there will be not open areas upon completion of each section. I have raised concern that this area is used by students accessing schools in the area and I have been assured that the contract stipulates that this area has the school and that a safe walk area must be maintained at all times. A temporary pedestrian route has been provided on the east side of Granite Ridge Drive.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais is hosting the inaugural “La Course des Patriotes” on Oct. 29 with everyone welcome to participate.

This “La Course des Patriotes” is being held to support the Stittsville Food Bank and also to raise funds for school sports equipment. The Stittsville Food Bank will be sharing the items which it receives from this event with food banks in other communities such as Kanata which send students to Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais. Run Ottawa is supporting this run, providing a starting archway for the run. Bushtukah is also involved. Additional sponsors are most welcome – just contact Eric Brassard at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais. Participants will be receiving medals and there will be food and refreshments at the finish line. This “La Course des Patriotes” is the brainchild of Eric Brassard, a new teacher at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais this fall. He himself is as runner, having just participated in the Montreal marathon. He is hoping that as many people as possible turn out for the event and he hopes to see the event become a tradition at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais. For more information about this new “La Course des Patriotes” run, please contact Eric Brassard at brasser1@ecolecatholique.ca.

Grace Lachance loves being busy with lots ‘on the go’ John Curry

john.curryt@metroland.com

Grace Lachance of Stittsville says she loves being busy. And that’s just what she is – busy! “I like having things on the go,” the 15 year old grade 11 student at Sacred Heart High School says. And she has lots “on the go.” Grace has been called “Stittsville’s Rising Music Star” in this October’s issue of Faces Magazine which carried a feature interview with her including a cover page photograph. Besides her singing career which is taking off with her newly released single “Anymore,” Grace is also focused on her song writing, on jiu-jitsu, on a part-time job, on her schoolwork and on maintaining friendships. Phew! That’s quite a packed life but Grace says she likes the challenge of it all, saying it’s fun to be busy. She says her busy schedule keeps things interesting and result in a feeling of accomplishment when things all work out. Grace has been singing for as long as she can remember but her first public performance was in Florida of all places where she performed at a karaoke night. After that, she continued to perform at small events as she found that she liked to perform. She started taking guitar lessons when she was 11 years old, following earlier piano lessons which she did not continue. Grace performed at the RBC Bluesfest in 2014 and again in 2015 when she was chosen as

the top emerging singer, winning the “She’s The One” contest. This led to recording her single “Anymore” under the Universal Music Canada label which was released last August and has been receiving radio air play ever since. There’s a music video for “Anymore” coming with the filming all completed and just the editing to be done before it goes up on “YouTube.” Currently Grace is working on writing new

songs, something that she enjoys. She says she does not find it hard to do as a new song “just happens.” She admits, though, that some songs take longer to finish up than others. Indeed, Grace is off to New York City for a few days to work with some songwriters and music producers there. She is trying to make the most of every op-

portunity that comes her way right now to write the best material that she can and just see where it all takes her. But while Grace likes song writing, she also likes performing. She gets a thrill when performing and it also gives her an opportunity to show people her new material.

Grace Lachance of Stittsville: ‘I love everything I do so it’s fun’ Continued from pagew 13

And don’t forget that busy schedule of hers! There’s homework to do. There’s jiu-jitsu at Cooligan Martial Arts & Fitness in Stittsville. There’s work, also at Cooligan Martial Arts & Fitness. And then there’s hanging out with friends. “Every single night is jam packed,” Grace says, admitting that while she likes being busy, she has to manage her time properly to make it

all work. “It’s a matter of balancing everything,” she says. “I love everything I do so it’s fun,” she adds. Grace has been involved with jiu-jitsu since she was five or six years old and currently holds a black belt in jiu-jitsu. She says that jiu-jitsu helps a person build confidence in himself or herself. “I love the physical aspect to it,” Grace states

nent’s force against himself or herself rather than confronting the opponent with one’s own force. Jiu-jitsu has its roots in feudal Japan. Cooligan Martial Arts & Fitness on Cedarow Court off Hazeldean Road in Stittsville offers a range of martial arts programs including jiu-jitsu to help a person unlock both physical and mental potential while also having fun. The goal is to help individuals unlock their physical and mental potential in a positive, supportive and high energy atmosphere, providing an experience that enlivens the senses, instills well being and provides benefits beyond physical activity. Faces Magazine, which features Grace Lachance on the cover of its October issue, is a free Ottawa area publication that showcases what makes Ottawa a great city in which to live, work and play. Faces Magazine has over 120,000 readers per issue and is available at 1300 locations around the Ottawa area.

about her jiu-jitsu. She not only is a student at Cooligan Martial Arts & Fitness but she also is employed there as well, working with youngsters in the afterschool program. And this is something else that Grace loves doing. In school at Sacred Heart, the former A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School student particularly likes writing in English class as well as learning about Canada and the United States in history class. At this year’s Bluesfest, Grace experienced what she terms an “awesome” experience as she got to perform on the event’s monster main stage. Indeed, on that day, she performed at a smaller venue as well as on the main stage. It was as busy day! But it was, she says, a day that she did not want to see end.

ADVERTORIAL

Eldercare Counselling: Providing Support for Those Who are Caring for Aging Relatives An alternative approach is to address the issue from your mother’s perspective by respecting who she is and what are her values and priorities. Ideally, she can discover her own solutions and take ownership for her decisions. So, we help you reframe the question. If your mother’s ultimate goal is to stay at home as long as possible, present the walker as part of a greater strategy to achieve that goal. The same individually centred approach can be applied for accepting in-home supports. With our support, we can help you engage with appropriate resources and guide you through some techniques and approaches to make sure they are received. Q. My dad is not coping at home on his own. We have finally convinced him to consider a retirement home but he is in Ottawa and I’m in Calgary. What are my options? A. People often ask me: What is the best care facility? Beyond the considerations regarding the required level of care, my fundamental belief is that the facility needs to be convenient for family and/or friends. There may come a time when your dad will be unable to fully advocate for himself. This is where advocacy becomes paramount. I would advise that you get constructively engaged (especially at the early stages) by talking to nurses, caregivers, and administration. This sends a message that you are present and involved, which can minimize risk and lead to a better experience for your dad. The same advice applies if your dad was in hospital or a nursing home. The fact that you live in Calgary and your dad is here in Ottawa is a challenge. In cases like this, the best option is to try and re-locate your dad to a care facility in Calgary. However, if that is not possible, our staff can still be of help. It is possible to retain an Eldercare Counsellor, such as myself, who acts on behalf of you and your family member. Eldercare Counsellors can serve as an advocate for you and your parent when you are not available to do so. With extensive knowledge of resources in the Ottawa area I can be available for consultation both in person and remotely. Michael McCleery MSW, RSW., runs the Eldercare Service at the Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre.

Q. What is the difference between Long Term Care and a retirement home?

The Kanata Psychology and Counselling Centre has been providing psychological assessment and treatment services to Kanata and its neighbouring communities since its opening in 2013. In these few short years, it has served the mental health needs of hundreds of children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. One of the goals of the Centre has been to help meet the needs of all members of our community. To this end, they are pleased to be able to offer a unique, and much needed service, Eldercare Counselling, under the experienced and compassionate guidance of Clinical Social Worker, Mike McCleery.

A. Long Term Care (LTC) homes are provincially run care facilities that can only be accessed through your local Community Care Access Centre (CCAC). The monthly cost for LTC is fixed across Ontario and subsidies are available for low income earners. Once a person is deemed eligible by CCAC, they can choose up to five LTC homes. A challenge with LTC homes is that the wait lists can be long, particularly for people applying for a subsidy, because they can only apply for a ward bed (shared accomodation). There are approximately 20 LTC homes in the Ottawa area.

As Mike explains, “We provide counselling and practical support for individuals and families who are in the process of caring for their aging relatives. Caregiving is a physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding task that takes its toll, not only on the body, but also on the psyche and the spirit. Individuals immersed in the role of ‘the caregiver’ often report feeling significant levels of anxiety, stress, and uncertainty.”

Retirement homes are similar to apartments that may or may not have a kitchenette, a dining room and other common facilities. Individuals pay rent for the room, food in the dining room and they may pay an additional cost for supports. The more support you need, the more it costs. For the most part, retirement homes are private and not subsidized. They often cost more than LTC homes. However, there are many more retirement home options in Ottawa than LTC homes which means that there is almost no wait to obtain a bed.

“Our approach to working with individuals is from a perspective of utmost respect and compassion. Primary goals are to help clients increase their knowledge and decision-making power, and to develop coping strategies to manage the emotional challenges associated with caring for their loved one. When complex situations arise, we provide options to help families make the most informed decision.” Given our rapidly aging population and the increasing demands on families to fulfill the caregiver role, Eldercare Counselling is a much needed service in our community. Mike’s extensive experience in the healthcare sector and working with community partners enable him to provide a range of services including: • health and social services navigation; • clarity on issues related to capacity and consent; • contingency planning; • care facility advice; • support for families living at a distance from their aging relatives; • guidance around managing family conflict; • counselling for caregiver stress and burnout; • support for anxiety and depression related to grief and loss. Although we all know of someone in a position of caring for an aging parent, we were not aware that there was professional support available to assist in the role. We sat down with Mike to find out more about what he does to help families caring for an aging parent. Mike described some common scenarios and questions he is asked in his work. Q. My aging mother is having difficulty coping at home. She is fiercely independent and refusing help. How can Eldercare Counselling help me and my family?

Q. I’m caring for my aging parent and I feel stressed and overwhelmed. A. Caregiving may start out as a simple task but as loved ones require more and more help, you may not be able to meet their needs on your own anymore. In our practice, we can work with you and your parent to find appropriate, affordable, professional services, including in-home supports. We can also help you deal with feelings of stress and guilt as well as communication challenges between you and your loved one. We can facilitate joint sessions to help you both talk about what you are going through. Through counselling, and education, we can provide you the help you need to meet the challenges of caring for the elderly so that everyone involved feels the dignity and respect they deserve. Q. I’m not sure if my situation is one that you can help with. Where do I start? Are your services covered by insurance? A. The first step would be to book an appointment for an initial consultation, during which time we work collaboratively to understand your and your family member’s unique needs and to set some initial goals. Appointments can be made by phone (613-435-2729), email (office@kanatapsychology.com), or through our website (www.kanatapsychology.com). Services are covered by most private insurance plans. Mike finished our discussion with a final comment that reflects his passion for his work, “I feel privileged to be able to offer my knowledge and support to our community. Supporting an aging parent can be one of the most difficult processes for families to go through. However, I have also seen that, when the right supports are in place, it can also be a rewarding and empowering experience for all involved.”

A. This is a very common concern with families struggling to care for vulnerable loved ones (regardless of age). With the elderly, however, there is the added concern of cognitive impairment, which may impact their ability to understand and appreciate daily challenges. For example, the doctor has recommended that your mother use a walker to prevent falls, but she is finds every excuse not to, it makes her feel “old”. “The last thing you want to do is to be confrontational”, says Mike. “The more you push on an issue, the more resistant your mother may become.”

Kyle Lefebvre: ’Hockey, rugby, school, gym and sleep’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

He plays high level hockey. He plays rugby. And he maintains his studies. This is the regular routine for 17 year old Kyle Lefebvre, a grade 12 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. “Hockey, rugby, school, gym and sleep” is how Kyle describes his current situation. Kyle has been playing hockey since his very early years, skating when he was just three or four years old. Throughout the intervening years, he has played lots of hockey, usually at the highest level available to him at the time. Two years ago he played on the Ottawa Valley Titans team which won the championship and led to his being drafted ninth overall in the first round of the junior hockey draft by the Kanata Lasers of the Central Canada Hockey League. Last season Kyle played for the Kanata Lasers’ U18 team which not only won its league championship but went on to finish third and capture the bronze medals at the provincial championship in Waterloo. This past August Kyle was at the training camp of the Kanata Lasers, following which he was assigned to the Ottawa Canadians of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 for whom he has been playing this season. However, just last week, he was called up to the Lasers as a one game injury replacement, playing for the Lasers in a game against

Kemptville at the Kanata Recreation Centre. Kyle, who stands six feet, one inches tall and weighs 175 pounds, plays defense, describing himself as an all-round performer, being neither overly offensive or defensive in his play but simply doing what has to be done at any particular moment of play. He says that he is trying to work on making faster decisions on the ice as he finds that the higher the level of play, the less time a player gets to make an on-ice decision. He is trying to get to the point where he knows what he will do with the puck even before he gets possession of it. Kyle hopes to crack the regular lineup of

the junior Lasers next season and then go on to play hockey at the university level. Kyle’s priority remains to focus on his academics and to attend university but he hopes to continue to play hockey at the university level as well. In the off-season, Kyle does a lot of training, working out at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Last spring Kyle played for the Sacred Heart boys rugby team after having been encouraged to do so by friends who were playing on the team. He found that he enjoys this rugby experience and in fact he is now back playing this fall with the school’s boys rugby 7’s team which he finds is even more fun as he can really utilize his speed in this version

of the sport. Kyle enjoys the sciences in his studies at Sacred Heart. He finds math a little more challenging but it remains one of his more interesting courses. Over the years, with his hockey involvement, he has honed his time management skills so that they have become better and better. He has learned to do his school work promptly and not leave it to be done at the last minute. Kyle is considering taking an exercise science program at university, given his liking of both biology and exercise. Such a program would give him a number of career options such as physiotherapy, chiropractic and personal trainer.

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM “BOUNDER”

Kyle Lefebvre

A silky white and tabby long haired gentlemen looking for a home. I am used to other cats but would not mind being the only cat either as long you love me, play with me and we can keep each other company. It would be nice to have my very own home and family. Come and meet me and see what we think about each other. Me and you might be destined to be together. I am not a kitten but not an old man either; a mature gentleman of 4-5 years old ready to move in with you. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622.

Stittsville resident chats with Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne at opening of ACE unit Nevil Hunt nevil.hunt@metroland.com

Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne was on hand for the Oct. 14 opening of the new ACE

unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. So too was Louise Heffernan of Stittsville, a patient who recently injured a hip. And the two of them spent more than 15 minutes together, chatting, with Heffernan de-

Police raid Stittsville location Special to the News

An investigation which involved the National Child Exploitation Coordiantion Centre, the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit, the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children Cyber TipLine and Interpol Manchester resulted in a police raid on a Stittsville address and child pornography charges laid against an Ottawa man. In late May and early June of this year, the National Child Exploitation Coordination Centre forwarded to the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit reports which had been received from the National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children Cyber TipLiner. These reports indicated that IP addresses in the Ottawa area were uploading images and video of child sexual abuse via the Internet using a private web based chat room known as “ChatStep.” An additional report was received in early October from Interpol Manchester advising the Ottawa Police Service of another IP address based in the Ottawa area that was engaging in chats about abusing children using

“Skype,” an internet-based communication service. Subsequent production orders i.e. warrants were obtained by the Ottawa Police Service Internet Child Exploitation Unit. These warrants were served on the Internet Service Provider. All ended up revealing the same location. A search warrant was executed on Friday, Oct. 14 on an address in the Stittsville area of the city of Ottawa. Computers, a cellular device and external digital media were seized and are now being forensically analysed. As a result of all of this, Robert “Neill” Ritchie, 63, of Ottawa has been charged with three counts of Possession of Child Pornography, two counts of Distribution of Child Pornography and two counts of Make Available Child Pornography. Mr. Ritchie was to appear in court for a bail hearing last Saturday, Oct. 15. The Ottawa Police Service is a member of the Provincial Strategy to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation on the Internet. This project has been made possible by a grant from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

scribing the new ACE space as “cheerful and bright” and praising the hospital’s staff. This new ACE unit, which is Ontario’s second health unit for people over age 65, will admit its first patient sometime next month, and staff at the Queensway Carleton Hospital expect it to improve the health of the region’s seniors. “We’re very keen to get going,” said Dr. Fraser Miller, the physician who will head the acute care for the elderly unit – referred to as the ACE unit. The 34-bed unit will treat seniors with acute issues, but will go beyond other hospitals by investigating all the health issues each patient is experiencing. The goal is to identify all chalCENTREPOINTE THEATRES PRESENTS

lenges that could prevent a positive outcome. “We talk about beds, but beds are not friendly to seniors,” Miller said, alluding to the need to keep muscles moving. The ACE unit will have seniors up and walking as soon as possible after surgery or other treatments, hopefully as far as communal eating and gathering places within the bright and airy unit. When possible, the patients will wear their own clothes instead of gowns – part of a strategy to make them feel part of a community instead of being inside an institution. “You’re doing a lot of things right here,” Wynne said to staff members gathered for the opening. “This will help get them back into their lives more quickly.” #CTVARIETY

City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson was on hand at the starting gateway on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street to wish the runners well in their races. He was accompanied by city of Ottawa councillors Shad Qadri, Allan Hubley, Eli El-Chantiry who actually ran in the event and Marianne Wilkinson. Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre also was

at the starting line for the beginning of the races. It took the runners in the initial 9 a.m. 10K run one and a half minutes to cross the start line, given the numbers involved.

Party atmosphere with music and chili at Village Square Park Continued from page 28

These runners travelled east on Abbott Street to Stittsville Main Street where they headed south on their respective routes. Just before hitting Stittsville Main Street, they passed under a giant Canada flag which was held in place by two Ottawa Fire Service ladder trucks with their ladders extended, serving as flag poles as it were. There was a tangible party atmosphere at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street following the races, as runners congregated to enjoy a serving

of chili and listen to the musical sounds of the “Running Naked” band which was performing there. The park, which was the starting point for the 2K family fun run along the Trans Canada Trail as well as the headquarters location for the 9RunRun event itself, was filled with a number of tents including those of Bell, Ecole Secondaire Catholique Paul-Desmarais which is hosting a run of its own in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 29, Dymon Storage, Do It For Daron, Hudson Insurance, Edward Jones Investments and Goodlife Fitness.

The McCafe mobile van was there, dispensing coffee and youngsters were having a great time at the water tower and railway train play structures. There was also a drop-off container for donating shoes to Shoe Bank Canada. The goal of the 9RunRun emergency services run is to ensure that everyone can access the mental health services that they need. This goal is being accomplished by raising funds for a number of charities involved with mental health services. These include Do It For Daron, a youth driven initiative focused on raising awareness and inspiring conversations about youth mental health, with two key initiatives, namely “Is

It Just Me?” which is a program encouraging conversations by youth about mental health and the DIFD Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research at the Royal; Camp F.A.C.E.S., which is a support camp for families and children of fallen emergency services workers; the Queensway Carleton hospital Foundation’s “Hopes Rising” campaign aimed at enhancing the hospital’s acute mental health services; The Student-Athlete Mental Health Initiative which is working to increase the understanding of mental health among studentathletes; Centurion K9 PTSD Service Dogs which rescues and trains canines to provide support for first responders.

In addition to the usual but important commercial provisions such as the term of the lease and monthly rentals, there are numerous other commercial and legal provisions and terms that may significantly increase costs or may otherwise adversely affect your business. Most commercial leases are not in a standard form and vary substantially from each other. This significantly complicates review by anyone other than the most experienced business person or professional advisor because even seemingly minor variations may have significant impact on costs or legal rights. A simple example is in respect of the leasehold improvements that a landlord builds for you at the commencement of the lease. You might expect, correctly, that those improvements belong to the landlord at the end of the lease. You might not expect that the lease may provide the Landlord with the option requiring you to pay the cost

of tearing out those improvements at the end of the term - yet some leases provide exactly that. A Landlord has a legitimate interest in knowing who their tenant is, and thus many leases provide for restrictions on assignment. At the same time, you may wish to sell your business sometime in the future, and want to know that you can do so without being unfairly restricted by your landlord. In our experience, most landlords are willing to negotiate one-sided assignment restrictions to provisions that more fairly balance their concerns with your business objectives. The commercial lease is often the first or second largest expense line after salaries and wages and accordingly requires careful consideration. A lawyer with experience in commercial leasing matters can review your lease and provide you with comments and advice enabling you to obtain a commercial leasing arrangement that meets your business’ needs.

WEST OTTAWA

Together - Building Business and Community Success Greetings business people and community members of West Ottawa! I am thrilled to be a new addition to your fantastic community and I am particularly pleased to be working with our business leaders and economic development stakeholders through the West Ottawa Board of Trade. I wish to express appreciation to our friends at Metroland Media for the opportunity to share with you the current events, opportunities and ideas of your leading business association. We are very fortunate to have a newspaper that focuses on community and supporting the local economy. The origin of a Board of Trade, also known as a Chamber of Commerce, dates back to 1599 in Marseille, France when a group of local merchants, tradesmen and craftsmen worked together to influence decision makers on issues relevant to their business environment. Today, the primary ‘raison d’être’ of the Board remains the same - to be a strong advocate for the business community. We are an independently funded and member driven association uniquely positioned to act as one voice for the businesses and community we serve. Our mission is to create a prosperous environment in which businesses and residents thrive through service leadership and innovative services. A Chamber of Commerce can be as unique as the communities they serve. In West Ottawa, we have a very diverse community with businesses ranging from one-person home-based proprietorships to large multi-national companies and everything in between. We have businesses in a variety

of sectors including finance, retail and high tech, just to name a few. What does this mean for us? Opportunity abounds! Then, consider our lifestyle and environment - we are surrounded by green space, culture and innovation. What a place to live, work and play! At the West Ottawa Board of Trade we work collaboratively with all levels of government and stakeholders to take advantage of new opportunities for our community and eliminate barriers to business. In addition we offer relevant business services such as networking and education events, promotional programs and money saving services. Hopefully, you have enjoyed one of our marquee events such as the West Ottawa Food & Wine Show, Awards of Excellence Gala or our fundraising golf Tournament which raised $4,000 last year for Make a Wish. These sell out events are economic drivers and build a strong sense of community for all to enjoy. Of course, none of this work would be possible without the vision and support of our members and volunteers. We are ever grateful for your time, your talent and your financial support of the Board and the work we do as a collective. Thank you to everyone who has warmly welcomed me to this community. I have fallen in love with the beautiful landscape, the variety of opportunities and the passion of the people. I look forward to working with all of you to make our community the best it can be . . . today and in the future.

Cheers to your success! Sueling Ching, Executive Director

Brand new ice plant at Richmond Curling Club John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a giant collection of blue pipes as well as dials, switches and buttons that makes curling possible at the Richmond Curling Club. It’s the Club’s ice plant and related machinery and it’s all brand new now. That’s thanks to a $207,000 project that has seen

this new ice plant and equipment installed in time for the start of the new 2016-17 curling season which got underway last Friday, Oct. 14. The new ice plant and equipment replaces the Club’s previous equipment which was installed when the current four-sheet curling rink was built in 1980. Such an ice plant is expected to have a 30 year life span but good maintenance had allowed the Richmond Curling Club to squeeze an additional six years out of the old equipment. The new ice plant has a larger footprint than the former equipment, meaning that it takes up more space in the lean-to-like ice plant room at the northeast corner of the curling club building. This meant that the project also included a new stand-alone storage shed being installed at the curling club to provide the storage space that had been lost to the new larger ice plant. The project involved more than the new ice plant and related equipment. There’s a new de-humidifier on the roof of the ice plant room which had to be lifted up there by a crane. But before it could be put in place, it was found that the roof was in poor shape and so repairs had to be done to it. The project also included the installation of new gas heaters in the rink area, replacing the previous electrical ones. These new gas heaters will be much more energy efficient, to be sure. Sue Harper, the president of the Richmond Curling Club in the 2015-16 season, was acknowledged as a key driving force behind the project at a ceremony celebrating the completion of the project at the curling club last Friday evening, Oct. 14.

But in her remarks at the ceremony, Sue praised the efforts and expertise of all those Curling Club members who served on the project team. This included Jim Slinger who was the project manager, Andy Lawton who was the technical manager, Rod Reddick, Brenda Lawton, Dorothy McGinn, Jim Klachan, Ronna Reddick, Gregory Howes, Jennifer Langley, Peter Bishop, Matt Bullmer, Ron Dullemond and Debbie Cunningham. She particularly singled out the efforts of Jim Slinger, Andy Lawton and Rod Reddick who she said sacrificed their summers this year to oversee the removal of the old ice plant and equipment, the installation of the new equipment, the upgrading of wiring where necessary, the addition of the new storage shed and all of the other matters related to the project. The project, which has been completed within budget, had a $207,000 cost. A total of $57,000 of this was received as a grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation. Another $30,000 was raised via a loan at a very favourable rate from the Ontario Curling Association. And the other funding, namely

$120,000, came from the Curling Club’s capital reserves. A ribbon cutting ceremony to mark the completion of the ice plant renewal project was held at ice level at the curling club, with everyone filling up the south walkway beside the ice surface as Terri Suffel, the long time icemaker at the Richmond Curling Club, cut the ribbon. Refreshments provided thanks to the Chartwell Stonehaven Retirement Residence in Kanata were available in the upstairs lounge following the ribbon cutting. In addition, anyone interested was able to tour the ice plant room and see and hear the new ice plant in action. Among those at this celebration ceremony was city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt whose grandmother, Hilda Moore, was the second president of the Richmond Curling Club back just after it began in 1960. Also on hand at the event was Bruce Kinkade, one of the Club’s original members and the member who threw out the first ceremonial stone at the current curling club rink when it opened in 1980.

Hard work by students and teachers leads to high EQAO math test results Math is flourishing at South Carleton High School in Richmond. The school’s most recent results from the Education Quality Accountability Office (EQAO) test administered in the 2015-16 school year show that 96 percent of academic math students and 76 percent of applied math students had results at or above the provincial standards (levels 3 and 4). Both of these results are well above the provincial averages which are 83 percent for academic math students and 45 percent for applied math students meeting the provincial standards. “The results were not unexpected with all the hard work both the students and the teachers put into the program, “ says South Carleton’s math department head Dayna McAllister. “However, we are still very pleased and proud of our students.” These results are not only the result of hard work by the students but also hard work by the math teachers. A number of changes have been implemented in the math department at the school over the past

few years which have contributed to the school’s high level in recent results. Smartboards have been added to the classrooms. Extra math help has been made available at lunch times. A collaboration room has been created which allows students to gather in groups and to discuss math problems together. The overall goal of the school’s math department has also changed so that there is less emphasis on students trying to achieve better grades and more focus on students simply understanding the math materials presented to them, building their math knowledge from that. South Carleton is also working closely with its feeder schools, learning about what specific math curriculum is covered in grades seven and eight in each particular school. This allows South Carleton’s math teachers to flex their math materials to meet the needs of the students coming from each of these feeder schools. In addition, math teachers at South Carleton are collaborating constantly on different teaching strategies and are building off their successes. For example, one idea that has been found to help is com-

Three wins, three losses in six games for Richmond Royals John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Richmond Royals have a record of three wins and three losses in their last six games in the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. The recent Thanksgiving weekend was not too kind to the Royals as the team suffered two losses in three games. However, the Royals rebounded in the following week, chalking up two wins against one loss. On Friday, Oct. 7, the Royals lost 6-5 to the Perth Blue Wings in Perth. The Royals led 4-1 after two periods but could not withstand a late onslaught by the Blue Wings who scored a tying goal with only 34 seconds left in the game. This forced overtime action which saw Perth scored at the 1:40 mark to get a 6-5 win. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Aaron Hickie, Joey Laird, Jack Chudleigh, Mike DiBello and TJ Price. Earning assists were Mike DiBello, Joey Laird, James Redmond and Jordan Currie. The Perth Blue Wings had 52 shots on the Richmond net in this game while Richmond had 36 shots on the Perth goal. On Thanksgiving Sunday, Oct. 9, the Royals defeated the Winchester Hawks 7-2 in a game at the Richmond arena. The Royals jumped out into a 3-0 lead in the first period and never looked back, building up a 5-0 lead before Winchester got on the board. The Royals led 6-1 going into the third period. James Redmond and Matt Veaudry both scored two goals for the Royals in this game. Single goals were scored by Vinny Quattrocchi, Joey Laird and Aaron Hickie. Mike DiBello picked up three assists while Joey Laird, Jordan Boutilier, Aaron Hickie and Mason Farnes all had two assists. Zach Cohen, Matt Allan and Jeff Hyndman had one assist each. The Royals had 33 shots on the Winchester net in this game while Winchester had 34 shots on the Richmond goal. Thanksgiving Day, Monday, Oct. 10 did not turn out so great for the Royals as they lost 9-2 to the visiting Perth Blue Wings at the Richmond arena. It was 7-0 for the Blue Wings going into the

third period in which both teams scored two goals. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Matt Allan and Mackenzie Mercier with Aaron Hickie, Joey Laird, Jack Chudleigh and Mike DiBello picking up assists. Perth had 34 shots at the Richmond net in this game while the Royals responded with 27 shots at the Perth net.

The Royals peppered the Brockville goal with 54 shots in this game while Brockville managed only 29 shots at the Richmond net. Brockville led 2-1 after the first period and it was tied up 3-3 going into the third period. In this third period, the Royals scored three goals in a span of just over four minutes to end up winning the game by a 6-4 count. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Jack Chudleigh with two goals and Jordan Boutilier, Matt Allan, Matt Veaudry and Patrick Yates with one goal apiece. Picking up assists were Tate Leeson with three, Mike DiBello with two and Joey Laird, Jordan Boutilier, Mackenzie Mercier, Patrick Yates and Jack Chudleigh with one apiece.

Ottawa West led 3-0 going into the third period, with each team scoring two goals in the final period. The Royals had 44 shots on the Ottawa West Golden Knights net while Ottawa West had 28 shots on the Richmond goal. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Aaron Hickie and Jack Chudleigh. Picking up assists were Tate Leeson, Troy Quinn, Zach Cohen and Matthew Sheets. The Richmond Royals wrapped up playing six games in eight days by defeating the Prescott Flyers 4-2 in a game at the Leo Boivin Community Centre in Prescott on Saturday, Oct. 15. Prescott led 1-0 after the first period but the Royals came back to tie it up 1-1 after two periods of play. The Royals scored three goals while allowing only one goal in the third period to earn the 4-2 victory. The Royals had 29 shots on the Prescott net

in this game while the Prescott Flyers directed 38 shots at the Richmond goal. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Joey Laird, Tate Leeson, Jack Chudleigh and Jordan Boutilier.

‘Hot’ art on display at Stittsville library branch John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Paddy Lynn McCavour’s painting is “hot.” Or at least much of it is when she is doing it as many of her paintings are encaustic paintings. Encaustic is from a Greek word meaning “to heat or to burn in.” In other words, it’s “hot” at the moment of creation. This all happens as beeswax is melted to form layers of a waxed surface for the painting. And the varnish that is used fuses the layers together thanks to heat. You can see some of these encaustic paintings done by artist Paddy Lynn McCavour at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. A display of her artwork, including numerous encaustic paintings, will be on exhibit

there until the end of October. Since the Stittsville library’s recent renovation and interior redesign, the ArtSpace Wall Gallery is now located in the southwest corner of the Stittsville library branch. There are ten works by Paddy Lynn McCavour hanging at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery with another 11, smaller pies, on display in an associated glass display case. These paintings on display range in size and colour as well as in medium. A couple are large mixed media pieces while others are encaustic paintings. Names of some of these encaustic paintings are “Slow Motion,” “Ladyslippers,” “Off the Ground,” “Genkos in the Fall” and “By the Road.” These works on display are all for sale as well as for show. Prices of the larger pieces range from $1800 to $200 while the smaller pieces in the glass cabinet range in

price from $75 to $250. A former teacher and administrator, Paddy Lynn McCavour pursued abstract mixed media and encaustic painting on her retirement. She has developed her style through travel, courses and studio groups. In her painting she draws her inspiration from nature’s colours and light and the balancing of natural forms. In exploring mixed media including acrylics and combining collages of many materials in her works, Paddy came to include encaustic art in her repertoire. The wax used in encaustic art provides an opportunity for Paddy to capture and explore the glow and luminescence which light creates in nature. The colours and textures of the wax and the integration of materials allow Paddy to use a wide range of techniques in her work including

sculpturing, layering and texturing. The wax and resin in encaustic art create patterns of light and shadow which give depth and vibrancy to abstract land forms and geographic expressions. But don’t just read about this. Drop into the Stittsville library branch and see Paddy Lynn McCavour’s encaustic artwork for yourself! Encaustic methods were used by

the ancient Greeks to caulk ship hulls. Indeed, the wax came to be mixed with pigment to create colour and led to the decorating of Greek warships. Paddy Lynn McCavour, a native of Ottawa, currently divides her time between Ottawa and a country waterfront property with a view of the Ottawa River. She can be contacted at 613-836-4605 or via email at paddymccavour@gmail.com.

‘Gracenote’ delivers variety of tunes at Gaia Java coffee shop Carole King won a Grammy Award at the same time for “Song of the Year.” American bluegrass country singer Alison Krauss, who incidentally happens to be the most awarded female artist in Grammy history with 27 Grammy Awards, sang “In The Palm of Your Hand” in 1994 but it was a jazz version arranged by Andy Duffy which Gracenote sang at its Gaia Java performance. Allison Fagan of Gracenote was

the lead vocalist for the group’s version of the 1966 hit by Brazilian musician Sergio Mendes “Mas que Nada,” a Portuguese-language tune which is considered the signature song for Sergio Mendes and his Brasil ’66 group which had a string of hits in the late 1960’s. The Mendes/Brasil ’66 sound features bossa nova crossed with jazz and funk music.

What do James Taylor, Alison Krauss, Sergio Mendes and Norah Jones have in common? Yes, they are all acclaimed singers but even more importantly, at least for Stittsville, is that songs associated with them were performed by the vocal group Gracenote at the music evening at the Gaia Java CofSee ‘GRACENOTE’, page 48 fee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday, Oct. 14. These songs were among a wide variety of pop and standard tunes which this Kanata-based group consisting of singers Diane Coulterman, Allison Fagan and Lynn Lane and accompanist/arranger/director Andy Duffy presented in their own unique style in their performance. The James Taylor song sung by Gracenote was the iconic “You’ve Got A Friend” which must be considered one of the signature songs of this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame American singer. It is a song written by American singer/composer Carole King who was the first to record it but it was James Taylor’s 1971 JOHN CURRY/METROLAND version which became the number one hit. This song won a Grammy Members of Gracenote who are singing at the music evening at the Award for James Taylor for “Best Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Oct. 14 are (from left) Male Pop Vocal Performance” while Lynn Lane, Allison Fagan and Diane Coulterman.

‘Gracenote’ performs Academic awards at South Carleton Continued from page 47

Diane Coulterman of Gracenote took the vocal lead in the group’s presentation of “Don’t Know Why,” a 2002 hit for American singer Norah Jones. This song was the second single released from her debut album “Come Away With Me” and is her biggest hit single in the United States so far in her career. “Don’t Know Why” won three Grammy Awards in 2003 including “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year.” These four songs indicated the calibre and status of the musical offerings presented by Gracenote in this performance at the Gaia Java coffee shop, a number of which featured brief but memorable keyboard flourishes by Andy Duffy in addition to the vocal renderings of the trio. One of these keyboard flourishes was during the tune “Moanin’”, a finger snapping song that was first recorded by its composer, American jazz pianist Bobby Timmons, in 1958 and which has since then become what is considered a jazz standard. Among the other songs pre-

sented by Gracenote in this performance included “Dream A Little Dream of Me,” a song first recorded in 1931 which became a 1968 hit for the American folk rock group The Mamas and The Papas which was known for its vocal harmonies; “Love Like I’m Leaving,” a song associated with the Gaither Vocal Band, an American southern gospel vocal group led by Bill Gaither; and “Sunny Days,” a song which became a Canadian hit single in 1972 for the Canadian rock band Lighthouse. This song “Sunny Days” was sung by Gracenote on the back end of a two-song combo which started off with a 1954 tune “Weatherman” which was later done by the American a capella jazz/pop music group The Manhattan Transfer, among others. Gracenote will be guest artists at the upcoming Christmas concerts of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus which will be happening on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata and on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m. at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad.

The sale itself will offer something for everyone such as one-of-a-kind high quality hand crafted items, gift baskets, stocking stuffers, gift for teachers, jewellery and baked goods. And you will also be able to enjoy a sip or two of a beverage at a café at the sale. All profits from this The Sow Good Sale will be used to support the community in Seje, Kenya including funding to build an additional school

classroom, to send a team to Seje in 2017 to provide an eye clinic, to initiate a female hygiene project and to provide shoes for school children. The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has been partnering with the village of Seje in Kenya since April 2011. The primary activities undertaken to date through this partnership include the following: Launched a school that educates and feeds the most underprivileged kindergarten-aged children within Seje. There are presently five classes ranging from junior kindergarten to grade two, comprising about 120 students; Completed the construction of a school building with four classrooms; Started construction of an additional school building that will hold a fifth class; Purchased two acres for the school and have completed construction of a multipurpose building that currently houses all four grades. Eventually this building will

serve as a community centre to be used by the school, local churches and for local events; Developed a water system that provides clean water to the community. Wells are not a viable approach in this region so a solar powered system was built that draws water from a nearby river. Improved housing for widows and the elderly by rebuilding their dilapidated huts, replacing thatched roofs with tine roofs; Purchased three acres of land that is owned and operated by the community for the purpose of supporting the school. Farm and management of the land is done by local volunteers; And sent a missions team to Seje to establish relationships with the community members, spend time with students and deliver God’s message of love and hope through both music and teaching.

ter for the meeting. Carol Ring was the speaker for the evening, with the topic of her speech being “The Evolution of Leaderships – Where will you fit in?” In her speech, Carol, who joined Toastmasters last year, talked about how corporate leaders can change their style to inspire people so that they are motivated from within instead of feeling pressured to get the job done. Carol is the first member of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club to finish her Competent Communicator manual. All members enjoyed some carrot cake provided by Lori Holloway to celebrate Carol’s achievement. Sandra Gloss was the Table Topics master for the meeting, presenting a fun challenge to everyone which asked them to talk about the origin of the idiom given to each member such as “Heard it from the grapevine,” “The last straw” and “Hit the nail on the head.” Everyone was very creative in their responses, putting their own spin on the topic. Gerry Tapp emerged as the winner of the Table Topics trophy. Mathieu Boudreau, in the role of quizmaster, tested everyone’s listening skills. Phil Mandel, as the grammarian, pointed out interesting phrases and words used by members during the meeting. Richard Cook kept tabs on the filler words usage at the meeting. Stittsville Toastmasters Club members Gerry Tapp and Rick Holloway will be participating in a Toastmaster International Division B contest coming up on Oct. 22 at the Ottawa Citizen building. The Stittsville Toastmasters Club holds its regular weekly meetings at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville.

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Memories Mother liked to take a trip into Ottawa to visit our Lyon Street relatives before fall changed to winter. It was always on a Saturday, since it was a long trip to make in the old Model T, and we’d stay overnight. I was thrilled because 129 Lyon St. was always a hive of activity. Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny, their daughter Lil and Uncle Dick, and of course, my cousin Richard, all lived in the tenement house, and goodness knows how many families on the floors above. I knew all of Northcote could fit into that old red brick house. It was a bright and warm fall day when we wheeled into the cinder yard that separated 129 Lyon St. from the fire station next door. As always, Mother came with the car loaded with potatoes, a couple plump chickens, and a basket of crab apples. My cousin Richard was as excited as I was when we climbed out of the car, and he whispered in my ear that he had a great idea how we could spend the afternoon. We went right into the parlour, dark and dank with big pieces of deep red velvet furniture and an old upright piano crowed into the small room. Richard showed me a stack of papers and a

Connected to your community

Hibernian Society should be grateful sign propped against the big velvet sofa. I could only read the first words, being in Primer book and all at the Northcote School, but Richard, who was very familiar with the sign, read in whispers, running his finger along the words. “Help support the Hibernian Society.” And there was a picture of Aunt Vanetta’s church underneath the printing. Richard grabbed a handful of the papers and the sign, took hold of my hand, and led me out onto the street. I had no idea what we were doing, but I figured it had something to do with Aunt Vanetta’s church so it must be all right. “Here, you carry the papers,” Richard said. “I’ll carry the sign.” He produced a blue and white granite cup, one like Uncle Johnny drank his tea from, and with the sign close to his chest, we started walking down Lyon Street. Every time we met someone, Richard, all of seven years old, put on the saddest face I had ever seen and said, “Please help the Hibernian Society.” If someone put a penny or two in the cup, it was my job to hand them a sheet of paper off the pile I was carrying. Never thinking anything we were doing was dishonest, I marveled at the pile of coins gathering in the bottom of the tin cup, and was sure the Hibernians would be especially pleased. Well, Rich-

Seniors’ Education Series

ard had other ideas. After we had been at our begging about half an hour, he grabbed the papers out of my hands, and with the sign, tucked the whole lot into a hedge we were passing on Lyon Street. He emptied the cup of coins into his pocket, and got rid of the cup too. We headed right for Richard’s favourite candy store on Albert Street. Unfortunately, Richard’s father, Uncle Dick, was coming home from work, spied us, pulled over to the curb and told us to climb in the car. Now, Uncle Dick was a smart man. It didn’t take him all day to see, and hear, Richard’s pocket bulging with the money. When we got back to the house, and Uncle Dick heard Richard’s confession, he and Uncle Johnny laughed so hard, I thought they’d throw up. Aunt Vanetta and Aunt Lil didn’t see anything funny about the whole issue, and Aunt Vanetta immediately took out her rosary, and started to say her beads, Aunt Lil ordered Richard to get out his catechism, and I was sent to the parlour to look through the family bible! The coins were spread out on the table, and I knew without a doubt, the Hibernian Society would be a few dollars richer, but I was reasonably sure they would have no idea where the money had come from.

Swiss cheese fondue Harvest dinner, celtic music at United Church Foodland Ontario Special to the News

A popular entertaining dish from the 1960’s and 1970’s, fondue has recently been rediscovered. If you don’t have a fondue pan, place the mixture in a flame-proof container set over lit candles to keep it warm. The trick for silky smooth fondue is finely shredded cheese added very slowly over low heat. Preparation Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 7 minutes Serves: Six to eight Ingredients 8 oz. (250 g) Swiss-style cheese, finely shredded (2 cups/500 mL) 1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch 1 ½ cups (375 mL) dry white wine 1 clove garlic, crushed Freshly grated nutmeg and freshly ground black pepper Preparation instructions

In large bowl, toss cheese with cornstarch until cheese is well coated. Set aside. In medium saucepan, combine wine and garlic. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Very gradually add cheese mixture a handful at a time and cook, stirring, until melted and thick. Remove from heat and season with nutmeg and pepper to taste. Immediately transfer to warm fondue pot or dish and surround it with prosciuttowrapped apple and pear wedges, cooked potato cubes and buttered sautéed mushrooms.

Richard Cook (right) who was Table Topics master at the Oct. 12 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, presents the Table Topics trophy to winner Peter Fraser (left). Peter was a guest at the meeting.

Rick Holloway served as the Toastmaster for the meeting, sharing various facts about “My Two Cents” throughout the evening. Gina Cook presented a speech from the advanced Special Occasion Speeches manual, with her project called “Present An Award” and her speech being entitled “Lifetime Achievement.” The second speaker of the evening was Sandra Gloss. The title of her speech was “Evaluate to Motivate” which was part of “Educational Sessions.” In her speech, Sandra gave pointers about how to evaluate a speech and how to provide constructive criticism. Four components that she outlined in evaluating a speech were content (clear opening, logical middle and strong closing), voice vocal variety (appropriate modulation of voice), use of physical space (moving around for a reason) and body language (use of hand gestures, etc.). Richard Cook was the Table Topics master for the meeting. He presented a number of items from his basement and garage, asking mem-

bers to determine their usage. The items included a door knob, a huge metal syringe, a fire ignite, a broken telephone receiver, part of a swivel chair and duct tape. Peter Fraser, a guest at the meeting, was the winner of the Table Topics trophy. Maria Pemberton was the quizmaster for the meeting while Carol Ring was the grammarian, pointing out lots of interesting words and phrases used by members at the meeting such as “shared my tears,” “handy dandy” and “add in flavour.” Antonio Misaka provided the closing thought for the meeting. This take-away message for the meeting was that “words are powerful and if our “two cents” can help someone, they can be worth a million dollars.” The Stittsville Toastmasters Club holds its regular weekly meetings at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you will soon learn that any obstacle can be overcome if you set your mind to it. While a certain task may seem daunting right now, you won’t allow it to intimidate you. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Others are paying attention to you even if they seem distracted, Taurus. Embrace the scrutiny and do your best to reciprocate any special attention coming your way. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, make an effort to be there for a loved one this week. You have a unique ability to listen and support others, and your loved one will not take your efforts for granted. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if your energy and attention span is a bit scattered this week, take steps to ensure all of your responsibilities are taken care of. A respite is on the horizon. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, by observing others you can learn how they operate and make the most of your chances to work with them. Apply a similar approach to your personal relationships. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Try to tackle a financial project this week, Virgo. Select something relatively easy to begin with, and then go from there if you find yourself in a financial groove.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s time to get the creative juices flowing, Libra. Tackle a project around the house, like painting or rearranging a room. Look for a new creative hobby as well. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you have a lot of energy and a need to strive toward perfection in all that you do. Those traits will prove valuable around the office this week. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Keep trying to convince someone that your ideas are credible, Sagittarius. With a little more persuasion, you may win this person over and he or she will become a big supporter. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, even if you don’t want to go along with what the group is doing this week, you just may have to concede that what is best for the group trumps your personal preference. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, financial issues may be keeping you on your toes, but it’s nothing you can’t handle if you stick to your plan. You may want to do some tinkering, however. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, continue to bring the right people into your inner circle. One person in particular has your eye and might be just what you need. 1020
