Water shuttle put in place to fight barn fire on Mansfield Road Special to the News

News - Ottawa Fire Service vehicles sped along Huntley Road and Mansfield Road in Goulbourn for more than five hours on Friday, Oct. 25 as they provided a constant flow of firefighting water to firefighters battling a barn fire at the McCoy farm on Mansfield Road. It was a six kilometer journey one-way for

the fire trucks as they loaded up at the hydrant at the corner of West Ridge Drive and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and then roared along Huntley Road and Mansfield Road to reach the fire scene where they dumped their water load into the rural water supply reservoirs set up along the road. A large hose then carried the water down the long farm lane to the firefight-

ers fighting the barn blaze which included not only pumper trucks but also two aerial ladder trucks which poured water down from above on the burning barn. The former Goulbourn Fire Department was instrumental in developing this rural water supply reservoir system that is now a standard practice for firefighting in rural areas.

The fire broke out just before 9 a.m. and it was not until after 2 p.m. that the water shuttle was stopped and cleanup operations began on the site, with a large backhoe on site to totally level the barn and ensure that there were no hot spots flaring up. See BARN FIRE , page 3

Talking about teens and substance abuse John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A substance abuse counsellor with facts. Interesting. An Ottawa Police Services School Resource Officer (SRO) with observations and advice. Insightful. A mother and grandfather who have lost a child due to drugs. Tragically true. This was the scenario at the presentation about teens and substance abuse entitled “Re-Empowering Parents” which happened at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Thursday evening, Oct. 24. Involved in the presentation were Matt Young, a school-based substance abuse counsellor from Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services; Ottawa Police Service SRO Constable Carrie Archibald; and two generations of the Westwell family, grandfather Dennis Westwell and mother Joanne Westwell-Campbell whose son Tyler Campbell, 17, died in August 2012, a victim of the drug fentanyl. Substance abuse counseillor Matt Young set the stage as it were, telling about some of the substances used by teens and providing some of the signs and symptoms of drug use. He noted that marijuana has been altered over the years so that it is now as much as 30 to 60 times as intoxicating than in the past. He also noted that sometimes now marijuana is mixed with tobacco which provides a high that is “quick and to the point” but which is detrimental to a teen both due to the use of marijuana and also the use of tobacco. Mr. Young also told about MDMA, a drug which is widely known as ecstasy, usually taken in tablet form which induces a feeling of euphoria. He also told about fentanyl, a relatively new drug on the recreational substance abuse scene. “It’s arguably 80 times stronger than morphine,” he said in trying to

explain how addictive and powerful it is. He said that it is highly addictive. Mr. Young lamented that social media tends to glorify substance abuse, showing the use and euphoria but not the aftermath. He said that some of the signs of substance abuse among teens is a drop in grades, although this could be the result of changes in a teen’s life at that time; mood swings, going up and down; and the appetite either increasing or decreasing. Mr. Young recommended that parents connect with one substance abuse resource in the community. He suggested connecting with the Ride-

auwood substance abuse counsellor in the high school and establishing a relationship, even if you don’t see a need for it at present. The connection will then be there if you need it. He also urged parents to communicate with their children and talk to them about drugs, noting that all teens will hear about drugs one way or another. “It’s a reality and we should all make a point of addressing it appropriately,” he said. Constable Archibald, who is the Ottawa Police Services School Resource Officer (SRO) at South Carleton as well as at 15 other area schools, warned parents at the pre-

sentation about car rallies involving youth which today are much different than in the past as now they can involve sex, stealing, drinking, driving, drugs and nudity. She also warned that text messages can include drug lingo which parents may not understand, such as the name “Molly” referring to a drug rather than a person. Constable Archibald urged parents to have a plan with their children when the children attend a party or entertainment event and may find themselves in a situation where they need a ride home. Parents should emphasize that they will welcome a call for a ride home at any time throughout the night. She explained that school authorities can search a student’s locker at any time if drugs are suspected as these school authorities are considered as the guardians of the youth. She also warned parents to be aware of a child’s clothing because some clothing has compartments where drugs can be hidden. Constable Archibald said that parents should not be worried about going through a child’s bedroom if need be. She said that if a parent thinks that a child is doing something illegal or immoral or impacting others wrongly, then they should search that child’s bedroom. You have the right to search a room as much as you want because it is your house, she told parents. She urged parents to keep the lines of communication open with the school and letting the school what is going on in the child’s life outside school if necessary. She said that the school will not view the parent as being a bad parent if a child needs help to overcome substance abuse. This information about drugs imparted by Matt Young and the advice about situations given by Constable Archibald was graphically brought home to the South Carleton situation by the remarks of mother Joanne Campbell and grandfather Dennis Westwell who told about 17 year old Tyler Campbell, a South Carleton

High School student who died on Aug. 4, 2012 due to fentanyl use. Mrs. Campbell noted that Tyler had a “contagious smile and great work ethic” who loved video games and playing hockey and who worked at Tim Hortons. She said that just a few days before his death, she had asked him if he was taking drugs and he said no. Days later, he was dead as a result of drug use. She said that Tyler’s death meant she lost a son, her other son Cameron lost a brother, his friends lost their buddy and players lost a teammate. She said that she wants to try to prevent other deaths like Tyler’s and feels that if she can by speaking about his death, then Tyler’s death will not have been in vain. Tyler’s grandfather Dennis Westwell, describing Tyler as a “great kid,” said that Tyler was ranked in the top 3,000 in the world in Xbox video gaming. “He made a mistake and he paid for it with his life,” he said about Tyler’s fatal fentanyl drug use. He said that he did not know why Tyler was using drugs, noting that he was not depressed but rather was always happy and clowning around. Mr. Westwell noted that between 2009 and 2012, there were 250 deaths from fentanyl overdoses in the province and yet no one was talking about it. “It really is an epidemic spreading right across the province,” he said of fentanyl use by teens, noting that fentanyl use is dangerous and deadly. He said that the lives of Tyler’s family members have been changed forever by Tyler’s death. “It’s your worst nightmare,” he said about Tyler’s sudden death. He noted that smoking, drinking and driving and now distracted driving are all being countered through public education and communication. He urged that the same formula be used to eliminate substance abuse among youth. “Let’s not have any more deaths from these terrible things,” he said.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Carp Snow Disposal Facility Background In January 2012, the City of Ottawa initiated a study to establish a new snow disposal facility in the City’s west end. The City’s strategic snow disposal plan (2002) had identified the need to provide for 308,000 m3 of disposal capacity within one or more snow disposal facilities in the west end. This MCEA study was conducted as a Schedule B project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as amended 2011, an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act. The Process Public Open House (POH#1) was held in February 2013 to present the problem definition. Public Open House # 2 was held August 6th 2013 to present the results of the various site investigations undertaken during 2012/2013 to characterize the site and the environment; identify the alternative designs and mitigative measures being evaluated; and describe the recommended preferred design/solution. Both POHs were held at the Goulbourn Municipal Building Council Chambers at 2135 Huntley Road, Ottawa ON. Information presented at the POHs is available on the City of Ottawa website (see below for link). The recommended solution involves the development of a snow disposal facility (SDF) on a 23.4ha property located at civic address 2125 Carp Road that can accommodate approximately 350,000 m3 of snow collected from Kanata and nearby areas. The SDF development will include a 1-2ha meltwater pond to treat the runoff from the snow melt and a 4-5ha stormwater pond to treat storm water from on-site and off-site sources. Several mitigative measures have been proposed to minimize impacts from the SDF development and include a right-turn deceleration lane along Westbrook road, improving drainage beneath Westbrook Road, construction of a berm along the east property limit to mitigate noise, landscaping along the east and north limits for visual screening, and a liner beneath the meltwater pond and its outlet to protect groundwater quality. Comments received from the POHs and from the agency circulation, the public and other participants have been incorporated into the final report. All comments received were collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, and have become part of the public record. The final report is available for public review at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/carp-snow-disposal-facility-0 City of Ottawa Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, K1P 1J1 Ottawa Public Library, Stittsville Branch, 1637 Stittsville Main Ottawa ON K2S 1A9 (telephone 613-836-3381 for hours) This project is being planned in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2011). If concerns arise regarding this project, which cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environmental assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of the first publication of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City contact below.

Awards at Lions charter night Special to the News

News - The late Pat Peskett and her spouse Al Zoschke have had a dedicated commitment to improving life for those with vision problems. It was a commitment stemming from a situation in which Pat’s grandfather lost his sight in mid-life. That’s why they co-chaired the Stittsville District Lions Club’s White Cane campaign from 2007 to 2011. And given this interest in working to improve life for the blind and vision impaired, it is not surprising that Pat and Al, on a return trip from

Florida in 2010, made a side trip to visit “Ivy Green,” the birthplace and home of the famous Helen Keller in Tuscumbia in northwestern Alabama which is now in the National Register of Historic Places in the United States. After all, Helen Keller herself overcame her blindness and deafness to pursue a life dedicated to improving conditions for the blind and deaf blind around the world. See HELEN KELLER, page 7

and Al. That’s why the presentation of a Helen Keller Knights of the Blind Award to Al Zoschke and the late Pat Peskett at the Stittsville District Lions Club’s charter night last Friday was an extra special happening. Al Zoschke, in his remarks after receiving the award on behalf of himself and his late wife Pat Peskett, admitted that the award presentation had come as an unexpected shock but that Pat would have been deeply honoured by this recognition bestowed on them by the Club for their work in helping those with vision problems. He said that Helen Keller was a real inspiration to Pat. He said that Pat had encouraged him to become involved with her as co-chairs of the Club’s White Cane campaign which raises funds for vision impairment and also raises awareness of the blind and those with vision impairment. Pat Peskett passed away from ovarian cancer in Sept. 2012. Besides co-chairing the Lions Club’s White Cane campaign for five years, she and Al also took an interest in the annual Blind Anglers International Tournament (B.A.I.T.) which the Lions of the area host at Westmeath. This is a fishing tournament for those with vision impairment. Other major awards presented at the Stitts-

Calm amidst political storms

I

f for no other reason, Ottawa’s city council should be applauded for bringing a muchneeded dose of stability to an otherwise messy political scene with its 2014 draft budget tabled last week. Amid the gusting winds of a Senate scandal on Parliament Hill and the simmering gas plant saga surrounding the minority Liberals at Queen’s Park, voters in this city should be thankful that, at a minimum, there is stability on Laurier Avenue. For the fourth year running, the council led by Mayor Jim Watson has presented a budget that has managed to keep the accompanying property tax hike below 2.5 per cent (the hike will be a mere 1.9 per cent in 2014 if the plan passes). That is no easy feat, especially considering the wide-ranging scope of infrastructure and transportation-related projects either underway or being planned across the city. But with an election only a year away, what is in store for Ottawans when the bills start arriving for the grand vision that is the transportation master plan (also in draft form currently) and things like Canada’s 150th birthday celebration? Will modest tax increases still be a viable option when it’s time to fund rail to OrlÊans (and Riverside South, Algonquin College and Bayshore)?

The sesquicentennial is something that shouldn’t be underestimated in the years to come: yes the federal and provincial governments will pick up much of the tab, but the temptation will be strong for municipal politicians to make their mark when the country celebrates a century and a half of Confederation. And what of political ambition? Next October voters head back to the polls to pass judgement on this council and those seeking to supplant the current class of civic leaders. Will fiscal prudence be enough to sway the hearts and minds of Ottawa? Or will a new, more expensive vision win the day? New parks, community centres, libraries, arenas, baseball diamonds, soccer fields and cycling lanes are things that many people want, yet are often told the city can’t afford. Who is to say voters couldn’t be sold on an extra one per cent on their tax bill in exchange for such civic improvements. The next election will doubtlessly be a referendum on Watson, especially his tight control over the city’s purse strings. This doesn’t mean he won’t change his tune by the time election season gets underway late next summer, but it would be surprising if he did. In the meantime, residents should rest easy knowing scandal and chaos are nowhere to be found at city hall – just business as usual.

Fighting the curse of sameness

I

t’s a rather abstract concept for city planners and city councils to think about, but one of the biggest threats to any city, including ours, is the curse of sameness. Sameness has the power of the economic system behind it, not to mention certain cultural forces as well. To illustrate, look at a recent headline in the Globe and Mail: “Put away your sou’wester. Chic is the new norm in Newfoundland’s big city – so are espresso bars and restaurants with a refined culinary focus.â€? Inside, the article begins: “Ten years go, it was impossible to get a decent cup of coffee in downtown St. John’s.â€? But, the article cheerfully goes on, oil-driven economic prosperity has changed all that: “It’s hard to walk for a block on Water Street, the city’s main drag, without hitting a slick cafĂŠ.â€? You’ll note the sense of relief here, in that “all across the city, there’s a newfound sense of urban cosmopolitanism that seems to have everyone a bit gobsmacked.â€? In other words, St. John’s could be becoming more like Toronto. Is that good? Perhaps it is if you’re from another place and your priority is finding a cup of coffee. But not so

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town much if you live there and want your town to keep its identity. And not so much if you’re from another town and want to see a place that’s different from the one you came from. Sameness is not an overnight thing. It has been creeping in for decades, beginning in the suburbs and working its way downtown. I remember visiting St. John’s 25 years ago and walking around a mall looking for something Newfoundlandesque to bring home as a present. I couldn’t find anything. Everything in that mall I could have found at Bayshore. But then, malls do that. Generally speaking, the stores in them are part of national or continental chains. The merchandise comes from elsewhere. Although many city cores, including, actually, St. John’s, retain their distinctiveness,

the suburban sameness trend has intensified in the past 25 years, propelled by the big box store and the power centre. If you went to, say, the Centrum in Kanata, you could just as easily be in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama as in a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario. There is probably no fighting this. Free trade, globalization – all today’s economic forces push it. It doesn’t help that we, the consumers, are doing some pushing of our own, demanding the same products, the same services, the same slick cafÊs that are available elsewhere. We also want all the same television shows and with them, we see the same advertisements for the same products that are seen everywhere else. Given all that, it is a wonder that anything distinctive survives anywhere. Still, it is an incentive to protect what we can of the things that separate one community from another. There is more to city life than slick cafÊs. At the very least we can make our slick cafÊs different from other cities’ slick cafÊs. It comes down to protecting and encouraging local owners. How this is to be done is not easy to figure out or someone would have figured it out by now. We sort of know what not to do. We know not to say yes to every

developer who wants to put a condo where a theatre was. But we don’t know where to find the courage to say it. We know not to let commercial rents rise so high that only chains can afford to pay them. But again, we haven’t found a way to do that. We know we should be encouraging local shoppers to shop local, but again, how do we do that, particularly when the chains are selling stuff cheaper? A good start would be at least to recognize what is unique about the city and recognize that it is worth keeping.

Halloween at Fairwinds John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

News - Campobello Park in the Fairwinds community of Stittsville took on a Halloween flavour late last Sunday afternoon. It was a Fairwinds Halloween Party organized by community volunteers. And what a party it was! There were costumed characters galore, from the youngest in strollers to youngsters of all ages to a number of adults. There were pirates, princesses, ladybugs, witches, a robot, Spiderman, an Egyptian queen, an octopus, a fireman, Frosty the Snowman, a werewolf and this list just scratches the surface. And all of the costumes were great. As Stittsville Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri, a judge in the costume judging competition, said to the costumed figures during the judging: “You all look great. If I could pick you all, I would.” Of course, she could not as winners were selected but there was lots of candy and goodies to go around for everyone thanks to the generosity of local businesses. And there were even costumed dogs – dressed up as a fire dog, a ladybug, JOHN CURRY/METROLAND a deer and a devil. There was even one In costume at the “Halloween Party in Fairwinds” at Campobello Park in the green dog.

Costumes at Fairwinds Continued from page 11

R0022355102

In the end, it was “Fat Paw,” a basset hound which took home first prize in the pet costume judging. More than 100 costumed characters, with many accompanied by their parents, took part in the parade of costumes which just before 4:30 p.m. with sloping sunlight from a setting sun went from Campobello Park down along Montserrat Street and then back again on the sidewalk. The parade was led by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, Stittsville Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri and Ayah Stretch, one of the event organizers who was in a witch costume and who was guiding a portable music system along the parade route. But there was more than just costume judging and this parade of costumes at this Fairwinds Halloween Party. There was a craft table where youngsters could decorate small pumpkins with sparkles, black cat figures and other decorations. There was a bake sale and a face painting station. Pottery Playhouse was on hand and cotton candy was available. There were games for youngsters to play, set up on the closed portion of Montserrat Street in front of the park. And the park itself – thanks to Value Village on Hazeldean Road - took on a Halloween look with a display

of headstones and skulls, adding an eerie dimension to the setting. The play structure at Campobello Park, which does resemble a giant spider in some respects (hence the nickname Spider Park), saw lots of action, with costumed youngsters climbing on the structure. There was also a pumpkin carving/ decoration contest, which saw the entry of Tim Sackda take first prize with his three-dimensional sculptured face entry. Earlier in the day, Tim had been at a pumpkin carving event in Westboro where he and others got tips from the Maniac Pumpkin Carvers from New York City who claim to be the best vegetable carvers in North America. Donations of non-perishable food items were collected for the Stittsville Food Bank at this Halloween Party event. It wound up with a 45 minute Halloween light show presented at the home at the corner of Par-La-Ville Circle and Montserrat Street, right across from Campobello Park. It ended this Halloween Party in style, an event that was best summed up by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri in addressing the crowd during the pumpkin judging when he exclaimed: “What a great event!” JOHN CURRY/METROLAND He then went on to congratulate organizers Ginger Newman and Ayah At the “Halloween Party in Fairwinds” at Campobello Park in the Fairwinds community in Stittsville last Stretch along with their team of vol- Sunday are, clockwise, from 11 o’clock, Ethan White (making the “V” sign with his fingers), Cole Latta, Stephen Cruickshanks, Isabella Latta and mom Heather Latta. unteers.

Guitar duo at Gaia Java coffee shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Hanging on the wall at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville are a series of paintings by artist Ben Gatien depicting musicians playing various instruments. A couple of the pieces include guitar players. But these “art-created” guitar players were not the only ones in the shop at last Friday’s weekly music evening at the coffee shop as the evening’s performers were Neil Bateman and Pierre Monfils, a guitar duo who

demonstrated their own “art” with their musical offerings. And what “art” it was – soft, mellow, soothing, played with feeling, very much in an impromptu vein. Indeed, Neil Bateman admitted during the performance that he and Pierre were playing from the “Fake Book,” using familiar chords and melodies and going from there. He admitted that the outcome most of the time even surprises both him and Pierre. And while this guitar duo warmed up with a brief flourish of “Dueling Banjos,” the instrumental composition by Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith which he wrote in 1955 and which achieved its greatest fame in the 1972 film “Deliverance,” their performance together was anything

but “dueling.” They don’t duel, they complement each other, producing a unified sound that last Friday gently filled the air at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop with jazz, folk and pop musical renderings. These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street are free to attend. They begin at 7 p.m. each Friday, with a different performer or performance group each Friday. This coming Friday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m., the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop will feature a presentation of Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet with the “Crumble Quartet” accompanied by Dr. Greg Young of Montana State University.

Hear Mozart at Gaia Java Continued from page 14

And it will be presented by an ensemble consisting of the Crumble Quartet, a string quartet which has played at the Gaia Java shop previously as well as by guest clarinet player Dr. Greg Young who is the director of the School of Music at Montana State University and has performed as the principal clarinetist with the Bozeman Symphony and the Intermountain Opera Orchestra. He has toured as a concerto soloist in Europe, Africa and Asia as well as Brazil where he toured with the Kreutzer Trio and soprano Elizabeth Croy. And this year, he has composed two new works, Gnossienne and St. John’s Concertino, both for

clarinet and strings. So it’s going to be quite a treat to hear Dr. Young performing this coming Friday, Nov. 1 right here in Stittsville. He is not unfamiliar with Stittsville as his mother, Jo Young, lives in Stittsville. In addition, he is in town not only to visit with his mother and perform at Gaia Java but also to perform in a series of “Clarinet Galore!” concerts with the Strings of St. John’s, an Ottawa based string musical group that includes violin, viola, cello and bass players. Two of these concerts happened last weekend while the third one takes place this coming Sunday, Nov. 3 at 2 p.m. at the Church of St. John the

Dr. Young has a special connection with the Strings of St. John’s as his sister, Mary Young, not only plays viola with the group but she is also the group’s current president. Mary Young also is a member of the Crumble Quartet which will be playing with Dr. Young at the Gaia Java coffee shop this coming Friday evening, Nov. 1. The Young family, indeed, has quite a musical legacy, one which is now going into a new generation as both of Dr. Young’s daughters are involved with music. One of the daughters, Claire, who plays a number of instruments including the banjo, is with Dr. Young on this trip to Ottawa. Dr. Young’s father was an amateur musician, playing the organ. Dr. Young himself began playing the piano at age five and then took up the clarinet when in high school. He then went on to earn his Doctorate in Music at the University of Michigan and then taught at the University of Prince Edward Island, Memorial University in Newfoundland and the University of Western Ontario before moving to Montana State University where he has now been for 26 years. He says that he always wanted to be a university professor for music and he has certainly achieved that goal. His sister Mary Young also started with piano and also violin before switching to the viola that she now plays. In her “day” job, she is a physicist. Dr. Young says that Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet is one

Poppy blitz raises $4,813.50 Special to the News

News - Homes in Stittsville were visited in a poppy campaign blitz last Sunday. Doing the visiting were teams of youth canvassers, knocking on doors, distributing poppies and accepting donations. A total of 16 teams involving 15 or

so youth each took part in this poppy campaign canvas of the village. There were a number of Stittsville Minor Hockey Association teams as well as teams from the Goulbourn Rockets girls hockey organization, the Kanata Rangers girls hockey, the 2nd Stittsville Guides, and the West Ottawa Ringette Association.

is the ďŹ rst year that teams of youth other than from the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association have taken part in this poppy campaign blitz. And when it was all said and don, these youth volunteers had raised $4,813.50 for the poppy campaign of the Stittsville branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion. After their door-to-door work, members of all of the teams returned to the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street where they enjoyed hot dogs and hot chocolate thanks to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion. The Stittsville Legion is most appreciative and grateful to all those – youth, volunteers, Legion members and parents – who participated in this year’s poppy campaign blitz of the village. The Legion also thanks all those homeowners who welcomed the youthful canvassers at their doors and who supported the poppy campaign. The poppy has been widely recognized as a symbol of Remembrance in Canada since it was ďŹ rst adopted in this role in 1921. By wearing a poppy, Canadians demonstrate their thanks to those who gave their lives in war for the freedom that everyone enjoys today. The basic purpose of poppy funds JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND is to provide assistance to ex-servicemen, women and their families when Liam Jackson, left, in his Stittsville Sharks hockey jersey, and Sara in need.

News - The Royal Bank Fernbank branch went to the dogs last Saturday – literally. The branch, located at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive, opened its arms last Saturday for two hours (12 noon to 2 p.m.) to dog owners who wanted to bring their pets to the branch, preferably dressed up in a Halloween costume but not necessarily. It was all part of a “Pooches & Pumpkins� event hosted by the branch which saw a free full sized pumpkin given away to anyone making a donation to the Ottawa Humane Society. The event also involved welcoming members of the public who brought their pets to the branch, in Halloween costume or not. And at the branch, a photo area was set up where the pet owners and their pets could have their photo taken by a professional photographer – all for free. And come they did. It started off a little slow, with the first dogs to arrive being Alfie and

Maggie, the pet dogs of branch manager Erin Craig. Maggie wore a black and white striped convict’s outfit, complete with “prisoner number� on the back. But then the dogs started to come, one after another. There was Spartacus, a Shih Tzu with very long hair. And there was Molly in her bumble bee costume and her companion “Little One,� sporting a ladybug costume. And more and more, some in costume, some not. There were six in the branch by 12:30 p.m., a fact which you could not miss as they started to bark briefly and somewhat in unison a few minutes later. The branch was prepared, not only with treats for their canine visitors but also with some cider for the owners. There was a bowl of water set out for the dog visitors in case they wanted a drink. Donations for the Ottawa Humane Society were collected and the pile of pumpkins inside the branch dwindled as donors were able to carry away a free full size pumpkin in appreciation of the donation. The pumpkins were fresh out of the pumpkin patch of the Richmond Nursery.

News - Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club were reminded about the need for more hospice beds in the Ottawa area at the Club’s charter night event last Friday. The reminder came from June Warner, the Lionettes president and wife of the late Lions Club member Ivan Warner who passed away at the Embassy West hospice earlier this year. She reminded the Lions Club members at the event

that there is a need for more hospice beds in the city with only 19 available at present. She pointed out in her remarks to the Lions members that everyone may need hospice at some point in their lives, noting that hospice provides a peaceful, quiet, loving environment in which a person can die with dignity. She said that the current campaign by Hospice Care Ottawa to establish a hospice at the site of the former Trinity Presbyterian Church property

on McCurdy Drive in Kanata has now reached half of its six million dollar goal, noting that the only way that the fundraising campaign is going to be successful and result in hospice beds at the McCurdy site is for donations to be made to the cause. Ms. Warner urged everyone to do what they can. “A little bit means a whole lot,� she said, saying that it will all go to help those who need a place to die in peace which is what hospice is all about.

News - Tips on how to protect money and assets, particularly for small businesses, was the focus of an “advice event� hosted at the Royal Bank branch at the Walmar shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive on Thursday afternoon, Oct. 24. Much of it came from Joanne Ironside, a senior account manager for business and personal banking who works out of this RBC branch, along with those at Terry Fox Drive and Hazeldean Road in Kanata

and on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. She revealed that about 50 percent of business owners experience some soft of fraud, much of its un-reported, often because of embarrassment. She explained that fraud in small business can happen anywhere, anytime, with the risk increasing if the economy is in a downturn. She said that the misappropriation of assets or embezzlement are typically long term crimes, not quick hits. Ms. Ironside urged that small businesses put internal processes in place to prevent such asset misappropriation or embezzlement. Another crime perpetrated against small

business is the outright stealing of assets by staff through such strategies as duplicate payments and inflated invoices. Maria Rodrigues, a customer service representative at the RBC branch, said that cheque fraud is one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today. It was advised that businesses should keep their cheques in a safe place. Ms. Ironside noted that just like with fraudulent cheques, there are also fraudulent money orders and bank drafts these days. Reproducing these false cheques, money orders and bank drafts has become very sophisticated today.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

October 25th, 2013 A ROOM HUMIDIFIER THAT REQUIRES NO ELECTRICITY!! This week the locally designed and produced product, RUMIDIFIER, was launched. RUMIDIFIER is a room humidifier that does not use any electricity! All you do is take the grate off your air vent and place the RUMIDIFIER over top! It is dishwasher safe; the filter lasts for 2 years and can be disposed of in the green bin. This revolutionary product retails for $39.99 and can be purchased at Home Depot, Home Hardware, Terra 20 and Preston Hardware. Get your hands on one of these fantastic products soon! The concept for RUMIDIFIER came from Jeri Rodrigs, a resident of Kanata North. The product was designed in Westboro, and production took place at L-D Tool and Die in Stittsville. It was funded by resources made available through Invest Ottawa. GREAT WAY TO GET THE MOST OF YOUR CARVED JACK O LANTERN POST HALLOWEEN On November 1st, my team and I will be hosting a Jack O Lantern Evening Walk on the TransCanada Trail near Village Square Park from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. Plan to bring your own carved pumpkin and place it along the Trans Canada Trail at Village Square Park after 4pm on November 1st for the walk that evening.

More spacious classroom at The Country Quilter John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Country Quilter in Richmond has a larger, more spacious classroom. The 600 square foot classroom was created not by adding onto the McBean Street building but rather by knocking something down. Yes, a wall between the main shop area and a porch-like area at the rear of the building was taken out, opening up the space which is now being used as a classroom. The porch area had been used as a classroom previously but it was small and not nearly as appealing and useful as the new opened-up space is. The Country Quilter also has a classroom on its second oor but having a spacious classroom area on the shop’s ďŹ rst oor is more convenient, especially if a sewing machine has to be carried into the classroom. The ďŹ rst oor classroom eliminates having

to carry the sewing machine up the stairs to the second oor classroom. The new larger ďŹ rst oor classroom area is not only fully open to the main shop now but it also still beneďŹ ts from the large glass windows that are a feature of the porch’s rear wall. This makes the new larger classroom area a very bright and cheery space as well, ideal for a classroom setting. A grand opening of this new larger, more spacious, more open classroom space was held at The Country Quilter last Friday. Among those on hand for this grand opening were Beth Cameron who had a selection of quilting gadgets on display. Beth, by the way, has been engaged to be a National Canadian Pattern Designer for the Canadian line of Cantik Batiks. On Friday afternoon, Beth conducted a free pillowcase workshop, making colourful pillowcases to brighten up their surroundings for residents of a women’s and

children’s shelter. Also on hand with a display at the grand opening was Susan Curtis who designs jackets like the colourful one that she had on exhibit at the Friday event. She also had an assortment of the decorative accessories such as buttons that she makes out of clay. The Country Quilter has been in Richmond since Sept. 1992, having relocated from Manotick. It is now situated in a heritage building on McBean Street in Richmond on a property which dates back to 1832. The building over the years has housed an undertaker’s, a tailor shop, a shoemaker’s shop and the village post ofďŹ ce. It was a private home for 40 years before becoming the home of The Country Quilter. The Country Quilter, owned by Ann McLean, carries a wide selection of quilting fabrics as well as quilting supplies and pattern books. It also offers quilting lessons, classes and workshops.

Art done by Waldorf students John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Art in various forms done by students at the Ottawa Waldorf

School in Stittsville has been on display at the ArtSpace Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library throughout October. The art ranges from paintings to

pottery to an elephant to a doll to writing, all done by Waldorf students from grade three through grade eight, either this year or in the recent past. The art included a framed display of four individual coloured paintings. There was also a multi-media piece depicting an historical scene of Stittsville showing the Great Fire of 1870, the coming of the railroad, a pioneer farmstead and a swamp area. This had been done by the school’s grade three/four class last year. The display case at the ArtSpace Wall was the home for samples of “pinch pot” pottery done by Waldorf students. The display case also housed an elephant, one of many made by

Waldorf students. And it was not just making these elephants – the students each had to create a threedimensional representation of the elephant on paper before creating the actual piece. The display also featured a doll made by grade eight student Shaeed Beaubrun made out of wool and fabric. The doll was actually two dolls, as it was carrying a second, smaller doll – a mother and child scenario. Shaeed said that he had to be precise in creating the doll. He gave it to his little cousin who really likes it. He borrowed it back in order to display it at this October exhibit. The display case also featured a copy of “Papadium,” writing done by then-grade seven student Mackenzie Hauch Krueger earlier this year that was a winner in the 2013 Book Week Writing Contest. There were about

1500 entries in the contest. Even the large sign identifying the exhibit, proclaiming the Ottawa Waldorf School, was done by grade eight students at the school several years ago and donated to the school. The Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville offers an alternative educational approach to the regular publicly funded school system. In the Waldorf approach to education, a child is encouraged to develop his or her talents and interests in an academic program that weaves the sciences, mathematics and languages with arts, music and movement/physical education. More about the Ottawa Waldorf School can be found on the website www.ottawawaldorf.ca or by calling 613-836-1547. The Ottawa Waldorf School is located at 1 Goulbourn Street in Stittsville.

Homes for the Holidays just around the corner! by Robert Greenslade The eleventh annual Homes for the Holidays tour on November 15, 16 and 17, is only days away and anticipation is building for this very special event. The tour, now its eleventh year, supports end-of-life care programs offered by Hospice Care Ottawa, including those at the May Court Hospice. “Homes for the Holidays will help us improve hospice services in Ottawa and reach our goal of increasing the number of area beds,” noted Lisa Sullivan, Executive Director of Hospice Care Ottawa. The tour is open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and features six outstanding homes in the neighbourhoods of Rockcliffe Park, Rothwell Heights, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Island Park Drive. Prominent area florists and designers will volunteer their decorating skills to the homes: three reflecting a specific seasonal theme (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day) and three highlighting the festive spirit of the holidays. For example,104 Black Maple Private features a “Very Special Christmas Eve”. This home is one of a collection of six elegant residences on the street. Mood Moss Florist and Jacobsons Gourmet Concepts combine their decorating talents to this home. Another Rockcliffe Park home, the residence of the Swiss Ambassador to Canada (494 Lansdowne Road North), is a stately French Château-style home, decorated for the tour by Tivoli Florist. This house was acquired by the Government of Switzerland in 1948 and enjoys frontage on picturesque McKay Lake. Striking 13 Massey Lane in Rothwell Heights is decorated by Stoneblossom Floral Gallery. The home features mature trees and is notable for its cedar shingles, copper roof accents and front canopy. A “Christmas Morning Wonder” (Tinseltown offers the Christmas decorative magic here) awaits visitors to 8 Thornton Avenue, just steps from bustling Bank Street. It’s interesting to note that the homeowner and her father worked closely to design the exterior and interior of this sun-drenched home. A relatively new home, designed by Barry Hobin and decorated by Mill Street Florist, 900 Colonel By Drive’s stucco and stone exterior gives way to a light and airy interior and preserves ties to its past by retaining the property’s 150-year-old stone wall. And visitors will not want to miss 512 Island Park Drive, decorated by Michael Courdin Design, for the “New Year’s Eve Celebration”! This contemporary home features many windows which give the house a strong connection to the outdoors. Participants will also want to visit the completely revamped Holiday PopUp Shop, this year located at the Official Residence of the Irish Ambassador (291 Park Road). Visitors will be able to get a head start on their holiday shopping and browse the children’s corner, affordable artwork, jewellery, seasonal décor, and delicious preserves prepared by some of the region’s top food purveyors (and visitors can pause for a coffee or tea too). And the best news is you won’t have to go far for tickets! Tickets are available at 25 outlets across the city and via PayPal too.

Military camps at fairgrounds Special to the News

News - Over the years, the Richmond fairgrounds have seen lots of ferris wheels and other amusement rides thanks to being the site of the annual Richmond Fair. But last week’s appearance of military vehicles and tents at the fairgrounds was something else! It had nothing to do with a fair; rather, the green military tents and vehicles which were spread throughout the grounds were part of a military exercise that began on Friday, Oct. 25 and lasted through to Wednesday, Oct. 30. The military exercise involved both Petawawa and JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Kemptville, with the Richmond fairgrounds being selected as a central location in the carrying out of the exercise. The Military vehicles and tents are arranged around the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond last Sunday as part of a military fairgrounds were used to house military personnel in tents exercise stretching from Petawawa to Kemptville. overnight, to provide meals and to serve as a re-fuelling location. The exercise even involved the posting of armed sentries at a gate going into the fairgrounds.

An exhibit with a Halloween flair to it was that of “Creations by Annie,” in which owner Anne Perreault had a display of fabric sculptures with a Halloween theme, including witches. Fabric sculptures are made by creating a wire frame and then filling out the figure with tinfoil and covering it with a t-shirt material that is then hardened with a special solution. Anne offers classes in fabric sculptures at Creekside Gardens. The daylong class gives the participant all of the basic skills to be able to continue to make such sculptures, especially

Family photos were being taken at this Fall Family Day at Creekside Gardens, with a special setting featuring potted mums, pumpkins and hay bales, all combining to give the photos a seasonal, Halloween touch. The gift shop at Creekside Gardens was open and busy during this Fall Family Day. There was also a pie baking contest.

An expansive display of potted mums, including many spectacularly yellow ones, was on display in one section of the greenhouse, adding some festive fall colour to the setting for this Fall Family Day at the Farmers’ Market which also happens within the greenhouse complex. Creekside Gardens, the former Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens, is located at the corner of Eagleson Road and Ottawa Street in Richmond.

What’s in the city’s proposed 2014 budget? Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Homeowners in Ottawa’s urban area will see an average of an extra $62 on their city tax bill in 2014. That 1.9 per cent increase – the smallest municipal tax-rate increase in seven years – was proposed in the city’s draft budget, released on Oct. 23. The increase for rural homeowners is slightly smaller – 1.9 per cent increase for an average of $55 extra per home. Residential garbage fees would be held at $82 and recreation fees will continue to be frozen – a promise

the mayor made during his election campaign in 2010. The mayor’s salary and councillors’ ofďŹ ce budgets will also stay the same. The equivalent of 55 full-time jobs would be eliminated without layoffs. All of those positions were vacated by employees leaving or retiring in the last six months and the city is not keeping them open for future hires. Next year is also when residents and businesses will see a number of key city services go online: the MyServiceOttawa online account will let people view and pay water and tax bills online, as well as apply for a number of licences and permits. A mobile app for 311 service requests is also in the works.

With a large glut of Ottawa on the Move road and sewer construction projects as well as the ďŹ rst phase of light rail out of the way, the city isn’t planning many large new construction projects, so the city won’t have to take on any additional debt in 2014, Mayor Jim Watson said. The city does plan to take out new debt equivalent to the amount of debt it will retire from its books in 2014, said city treasurer Marian Simulik. A major road project to extend Campeau Drive – part of the recent transportation master plan – would get a $31-million boost as part of the draft budget. It would see Campeau extended west from Didsbury Road to Huntmar Drive.

The Fitzroy Station Bridge over the Carp River would get repairs and upgrades to help the bridge withstand earthquakes. Ottawa on the Move will continue with 150 projects hitting the ground in 2014 In the west end, roads to be resurfaced include: * Sections of Carling Avenue * Richmond Road * Corkstown Road * Carp Road * Panmure Road * Diamondview Road * MacLarens Side Road * Palomino Drive * Dunhaven Drive * Beverly Street in Stittsville

Overall, the city plans to spend $45 million to resurface roads in 2014 and an additional $4 million to improve trafďŹ c ow through key intersections during rush hour. Pedestrian improvements planned for the west end include sections of Richmond Road as well as Castlefrank Road and Winchester Drive. Cycling facilities would see $2 million in improvements in 2014, according to the budget, which also contains money for a new cycling transportation planning staffer. Funds are in the draft budget for the design and initial construction phase for the 3.24 hectare community park in the Blackstone community in the Fernbank lands in Stittsville.

Win in Morrisburg means moving on to Owen Sound Special to the News

News - A team of four from the Ladies Auxiliary of the Stittsville Legion is off to Owen Sound for more euchre. The team of four – Shirley Pretty, Joan Davis, Tina Rockburn and Pat Warford – has earned the trip to Owen Sound and further competition thanks to its ďŹ rst place ďŹ nish in the recent Ladies Auxiliary District euchre tournament in Morrisburg. There were 160 players taking part in this Morrisburg tournament. This victory earned the team the right to move on to the next level of competition at a euchre tournament in Owen Sound in March, 2014. Euchre is a popular card game not only across Ontario but in many areas of the United States. The exact origins of the game are debatable but euchre appears to have been introduced into the United States by early German settlers in Wisconsin. It then spread from there. But there are other theories about the original of the game. It may have come from immigrants from Cornwall, England or from French prisoners of war. In the 19th century, it was widely regarded as the national card game of the United States but since then its popularity has declined in some

regions. It remains highly popular in Ontario as well as in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Euchre is a four-player trump card game in which players are paired to form two teams, Partners face each other across the table. Euchre uses a deck of 24 standard playing cards consisting of Ace, King, Queen, Jack, ten and nine of each of the four suits. Each players is dealt ďŹ ve cards in four-hand euchre. The remaining four cards, called the “kitty,â€? are placed face down in front of the dealer. The top card of this kitty is then turned face up and bidding begins about whether the suit of that top card should be trump or not. If it becomes trump, the dealer becomes part of the dealer’s hand who then discards another card in the hand to remain with only ďŹ ve cards. If no one makes the top card trump, each player in turn is given the opportunity to call a different suit as trump. When a suit is named trump, any card of that suit outranks any card of a nontrump suit. The highest ranking card in euchre is the Jack of the trump suit, called the right bower. The other Jack of the same colour is called the left bower and is the second highest ranking trump card behind the right bower.

Volunteers wanted for 50/50 ticket sales at Sens games John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Main Street Community Services is located in part of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Main Street Community Services in Stittsville depends heavily on fundraising to carry on with its programs and services for children and youth with special needs and their families. One of Main Street Community Services’ main fundraising initiatives is volunteering for the Sens Foundation to sell 50/50 tickets at Ottawa Senators home games at Canadian Tire Place. Over the years, Main Street Community Services, which is a not-forprofit registered charity, has raised a

lot of money through this arrangement with the Sens Foundation, thanks to the efforts of a core volunteer group. But this season this volunteer help has not materialized. And this is a serious predicament because Main Street Community Services is in danger of losing this fundraising arrangement with the Sens Foundation. That’s because as a charity involved with the Sens Foundation 50/50 ticket program, Main Street Community Services is required to provide a certain number of ticket sellers for the games to which it has been assigned. If the number of volunteers is not kept up, Main Street Community Services could be eliminated from the program. This would be devastating for Main Street Community Services since the organization would lose a major source of its fundraising rev-

enues. This would be catastrophic to the provision of services to special needs children and youth and their families which Main Street Community Services provides. That’s why Main Street Community Services is putting out an appeal for more volunteers to join its team to sell these 50/50 tickets at Ottawa Senators home games. And for these volunteers, there is more than just the ticket selling. There’s pizza provided when the selling period is over. In addition, there is often a free ticket given to watch the third period of a game. So, you get not only to help out a local organization, Main Street Community Services, which does so much good work with special needs children and youth and their families but you also get to enjoy the excitement of a game night at Canadian Tire Place. Then, there’s the

raising arrangement with the Sens Foundation. It’s a way to help out a worthwhile organization and the great work that it does with special needs children and youth and their families while also having a good time at Canadian Tire Place, selling the popular 50/50 tickets and then enjoying pizza and a little bit of the hockey action. You can’t beat it! If you are interested in finding out more about this volunteer opportunity or would like to volunteer to help out in this unique, fun way, contact Darlene.macdonald@rogers. com or call Main Street Community Services at 613-831-6606. Main Street Community Services is located in part of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

pizza and getting to watch the third period action. This is a win-win-winwin situation. Main Street Community Services gets revenue based on every volunteer that it provides for the sale of the 50/50 tickets. It’s that simple. So numbers matter. And besides, it’s a lot of fun. Just ask members of the Stittsville District Lions Club who regularly participate in this sale of 50/50 tickets at Ottawa Senators games in order to help out Main Street Community Services. They have a great time while also helping out Main Street Community Services. Other service groups in the community might want to follow this example set by the Lions Club. But whether individuals or a group, Main Street Community Services needs your help in order to continue participating in this fund-

Sacred Heart students travelling to Nicaragua Special to the News

News - A group of students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville will once again be travelling to Nicaragua to volunteer on community development projects arranged by Companeros, a Nicaragua-based organization that works with residents in impoverished areas of Managua to improve life there. This trip to Nicaragua, involving 14 students and four teacher supervisors, will be happening from Feb. 27, 2014 to March 6, 2014. The trip received the necessary approval of the Ottawa Catholic School Board

trustees at a meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22. This continues a school tradition of student trips to countries in the developing world over the past nine years, mostly to the Dominican Republic. Last year, though, students travelled to Nicaragua to participate in community service work in a barrio in Managua. Last year the Sacred Heart team of 24 students and four teachers built six houses and painted two murals in the barrio Grenada. Students experience a rich and rewarding experience when visiting

Nicaragua on these trips. They live with host families and work on projects within the community. For this year’s trip, just like last year’s, Sacred Heart is partnering with Companeros, an organization which organizes the community projects with which the students are involved and also arranges for the host families. Goals of this trip are for the students to volunteer on community development projects alongside Nicaraguans in impoverished areas with a spirit of mutual support and solidarity; for the students to learn in

a cross-cultural context about local and global political, economic and social issues in the Americas; and for the students to be able to reflect on their Catholic faith and social justice formation and its role in their spiritual, academic and career prospects. Again this year, the Sacred Heart students will be working on constructing some homes in the barrio Grenada. The students will also visit a local school and hike at the Masaya volcano. They will also visit Neuva Vida, a women’s sewing co-op that was set up as an alternative to sweat shops.

The students will spend three days constructing houses for Nicaraguan families, including digging the holes for the house footers. Trips like this one to Nicaragua are supported by the school and School Board in the belief that travel is an great way of extending education beyond the classroom. This trip to Nicaragua should reinforce many of the teachings of the religious education classes at Sacred. Development of faith and a broader understanding of social justice issues are among what the students learn on a trip like this.

Lawn bowling in 2013 Special to the News

Sports - 2013 was a good year for the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club. The Club wrapped up the year with a final dinner and annual general meeting at the Bistro 54 restaurant at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club on Tuesday, Oct. 15. The Club’s activities in 2013 were marked by some fine play on the green, none more exciting and memorable than a championship victory in the prestigious Governor General’s Rose Bowl competition. This happened at the end of August when a team of four from the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club joined with a team of four from the Kingston Lawn Bowling Club to win the double team competition. In this competition, two teams from Ontario face two teams from Quebec. This year’s competition was held in St. Lambert, Quebec near Montreal. For winning in St. Lambert, the Ontario entry comprising the teams from the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the Kingston Lawn Bowling Club received the Rose Bowl trophy and a gold pin … and, oh yes, a single rose each in keeping JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND with the name of the event.

tion going back and forth on an annual basis between Ontario and Quebec. It will be hosted in Ontario in 2014. This Governor General’s lawn bowling competition dates back to 1928, originally held as a men’s tournament pitting the best four man team from Ontario against the best four man team from Quebec. It was in 1993 that the competition was expanded to include women bowlers when the Governor General of the day, the Hon. Ray Hnatyshyn donated the Rose Bowl trophy for women competitors. Members of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club team which formed half of this year’s Governor General’s Rose Bowl champions were Shirley Burns-Nichol, Teresa Derouin, Holly Dobson and Margaret Harding. Their championship partners from the Kingston Lawn Bowling Club included Ursula Cooney, Judy Steinke, Jennifer Amphlett and Joan Hoffman. It was not only on this interprovincial stage that Goulbourn lawn bowlers shone in 2013. Inclub competition featured a lot of friendly but competitive action. Teresa Derouin was the Club’s women’s singles champion this year while Robert Sault took the men’s singles championship. The Kelly Funeral Home Tro-

phy, a members-only tournament, saw the trophy go to the team of Jeannie Marcil, Paul Andic and Alistar Waddell. The Bridlewood Trails Trophy, an open mixed competition, saw the trophy go to the team of Greta Sault, Robert Sault and Garry Ross of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club. At the Ontario Lawn Bowling Association District level, championship banners were won by the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club for both the men’s novice championship and for the men’s seniors championship. Going forward, the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club will continue to be headed by president George Burns-Nichol who was re-elected in the annual general meeting portion at the windup dinner. Others on the Club’s executive for the coming year are Rick Nolan as vice-president; Anne Marie Waddell as secretary; Greta Sault as treasurer; Wayne Harding as tournament director; and Ross Williamson, Stuart Crooks, Teresa Derouin and Garry Ross as executive members. This season windup event also featured a silent auction which came about thanks to the work of Alistar and Anne Marie Waddell and Jacques and Jeannie Marcil.

Lawn bowling began in May Special to the News

Sports - The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club began the 2013 season at its grass lawn bowling facility at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners on Monday, May 6. Again this past year, there was lawn bowling on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. And, as is the Club’s tradition, there always was treats and refreshments with conversation afterwards in the tent shelter that was new in 2012 and that sits beside the lawn bowling green, providing a relaxing spot where lawn bowlers can stay out of the sun or inclement weather while enjoying themselves right beside the lawn bowling green. This tent shelter was made possible with the cooperation of the city of Ottawa, with the city supplying matching funds of about $7,000 to facilitate the project. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club continues to be welcoming to new members. Indeed, the Club supplies the lawn bowls. All a new bowler needs is a pair of flat soled shoes, shorts and a light top. New bowlers receive lots of instruction and advice on how to play the game. For those who cannot bowl during the day, the Club also offers lawn bowling on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. There is also bowling on Saturday mornings. And lawn bowling is reasonably priced, especially for those just taking up the sport. Indeed, the cost to JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND be a Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club Bill Sheffield of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club displays the Ontario member this year was $60 for a first Lawn Bowling Association District championship banners which were year member and then only $135 a won this season by teams on which he played. season after that.

We have the solution

back to the possibly the 12th century and most definitely to the 13th century. It is also a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its non-contact nature. And, first and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air. The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack” which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, parts of the United States, Japan and, of course, Canada. It is felt that lawn bowling may have begun back in the 12th century

but definitely the game was being played in 13th century in England. This has been verified by a manuscript from the 13th century that contains a drawing representing two players aiming at a small cone. The world’s oldest bowling green can be found in Southampton, dating back to 1299. Today the sport is played in over 40 countries and is a sport at the Commonwealth Games. Lawn bowling is played on a rectangular, precisely leveled area with manicured grass, divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. In singles and pairs play, a player delivers four bowls in each end. In triples, three bowls are delivered by each player in an end while in fours, each bowler delivers two bowls in an end.

White beats Grey 9-8 Special to the News

Sports - The final score was close, just like the whole game, as the Molsons White Team got by the Cavanagh Construction Grey team 9-8 in Stittsville Town League action on Thursday, Oct. 24 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. It was 3-2 for the White Team after the first period and 7-6 after two periods as the two teams battled throughout the game. Both teams scored two goals in the final period. Scoring for the winning Molsons White Team in this game were Kyle Gourgon and Mike Testa, both with three goals, and Nick Purdy, Mike Moreau and Corey Loverock with single markers. Replying for the Cavanagh Construction Grey squad were Mike Scerbo with four goals with single goals going to Nathan Blenkarn, Chris Brussa-Toi, Kelsey Cloutier and Andy Byrnes. The other game on Thursday, Oct. 24 was a fairly low scoring match, with the Bond’s Décor Green Team getting by the Cabling Ottawa Orange Team by a 4-2 score. Trevor Sachs and Ryan Kennedy

both scored twice for the winning Green Team while Pat Croteau and Steve McJannet tallied for the Orange Team. The Green Team led 1-0 after the second period but then scored twice in a row to take a 3-1 lead. The Orange Team made it close by scoring with 1:34 left in the game with the team’s goalie pulled. However, this was as close as the Orange Team would get to tying it up as the Green Team salted away the victory with an empty net goal with only 29 seconds to play. The Stittsville Town League game on Wednesday, Oct. 23 was a high scoring affair, at least for the Cavanagh Construction Black Team which tallied an even dozen goals in defeating the Shouldice Mechanical Red Team 12-4. Matthieu Methot and Ian Shannon both scored three goals in this game for the Black Team. Pal Doyle and Mark Egan chipped in with two goals apiece. Single goals were scored by Nathan Adams and Jason Foran. Scoring for the Red Team in this game were Corey Laurysen, Michael Laurysen, Corey Moreau and Adam Kestian.

Ryan Duhaime traded to Ottawa 67’s Special to the News

Sports - He was a Steelhead. Now he’s a 67. Ryan Duhaime, 19, of Stittsville is now playing for the Ottawa 67’s of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The 5 foot, 11 inch, 195 pound defenceman was traded to the Ottawa 67’s last week in exchange for a 14th round pick in the 2014 OHL Priority Selection draft. Wearing sweater no. 33, he suited up for the 67’s for their game with the Peterborough Petes

on Thursday, Oct. 24. Ryan had played six games with the Mississauga Steelheads this season before last week’s trade. “This was an opportunity for us to get a player who can help us on the blue line, especially while we have guys on defence out due to various injuries,” Ottawa 67’s coach and general manager Chris Byrne said. Born in 1994, Ryan had played the past two seasons in Mississauga.

In the 2012-2013 season, he suited up for 59 games with the Mississauga Steelheads, scoring one goal and adding three assists for four points. In the 2011-2012 season, Ryan, playing at that time for the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors, was in 39 games, earning one assist. Ryan played with the Ottawa Valley Titans Midgets and also played for the Kanata Stallions of the Central Canada Hockey League before playing in Mississauga.

Mary Cook’s Memories Often, when I was sitting at the old pine table at night with the coal oil lamp giving off faint shards of light, I examined the hands of those around me. Even though the same blood ran through our veins, there weren’t two of us with the same hand shapes. I would look over at Father, slouched in the old rocking chair close to the Findlay Oval, and I could see his hands holding the Ottawa Farm Journal. They were small hands, I thought, for a man, but I knew them to be powerful. They were calloused and wore the look of hard labour, and they could tie up a pig or roll a heifer with ease. But when he ruffled my hair, as he often did when he passed me, his hands were gentle and loving. My sister Audrey had long tapering fingers and I always thought her hands were narrow. I would look at them and try to compare them with my own, which, even with a young eye, I could see that mine were wider by far. How I would envy Audrey her pretty hands. I knew too, that the reason she was able to do such beautiful hand work, embroidering French knots and lazy daisies on our tea towels and pillow cases, was because she had the perfect hands for the job. Even the hands of my three brothers differed from each other. Earl, the smallest, had hands that suited his slight build. Everett, the oldest of the three, had hands that were already beginning to show he would

A youthful fascination with the hands which were all different in our family

be expected to carry his weight on the farm. He complained of calluses and often said his fingers hurt. There was little sympathy for Everett -- he was needed on the farm and the sooner he got used to hard work the better off he would be, Father told him. Emerson, the biggest of the three, but the middle son, had big hands. They matched perfectly his big frame and his almost six-foot height by the time he was 12 years old. But Mother always said Emerson had the hands of an artist. How she could tell, I had no idea, but she believed one day Emerson would be a great artist or a builder of fine buildings with those hands. So she squirrelled change out of her egg money from the blue sugar bowl and took advantage of Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store one cent sale and bought him art paper and soft leaded pencils, so sure was she that Emerson’s hands would one day make him famous. I would look at Mother, too, sitting at the end of the table, with her diaries spread out around her, with a bottle of real ink in front of her and a pen. I would look at her hands and then at mine, I would think that our hands of all those in the family were the most alike. Her two little fingers, like mine, had a slight bend in them. My interest in hands came naturally, I decided many years later, because they played such an important part in our lives. Our brothers were taught at an early age to offer a hand to anyone older than they were and whom they happened to meet on the streets of Renfrew. Off

would come the caps and the hand would be thrust out in greeting. It was impossible to live in that old log house in Northcote, and not be aware of hands. Clean hands, too -- Mother was a stickler for clean hands. The wash basin sat on the bench at the back door, the water changed often, a homemade bar of soap in a saucer beside it and a huck towel on a roller on the wall. No one

got within a country mile of the table at mealtime without a thorough wash of the hands. We never set out for school without washing our hands. The last thing we did before we crawled into bed at night was wash our hands. Emerson, who thought Mother took this clean hands business too far, often could be heard saying, under his breath of course, “I think we must have the cleanest hands in all of Renfrew County.”

Icing: In a large bowl and using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with the butter until it’s smooth and creamy. Gradually add icing sugar until the mixture is a thick, spreadable consistency. Beat in the vanilla and lemon juice until blended. Add a little more icing sugar if mixture is too runny to spread. Swirl on top and side of the cake.

Earn Extra Money! Used book sale happening Keep Your Weekends Free!

at Stittsville library branch Special to the News

News - Calling all book lovers! If you want to stock up on your reading material for the coming winter or are perhaps just looking for a book or two for immediate reading, then the upcoming fall sale by the Stittsville library’s “A Good Read” used book store is for you. This sale will be happening this Saturday, Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. And not only will there be a selection of gently used books of all types but the prices are going to be amazing – three books for just one dollar. That’s it – a trio of books for a loonie. There’s no better deal anywhere, anytime! And these will not be just any old used books. Volunteers from the community who operate this “A Good Read” book store at the Stittsville library work diligently and hard to ensure that the books offered by “A Good Read” at any

time but also at sale time are books that are in good condition, relevant and, to use the store’s name, are worth “a good read.” The “A Good Read” book store at the Stittsville library branch has been operating for five years now. During that time, “A Good Read” has donated all of its proceeds back to the library to purchase many items that add to the experience at the library for its patrons. These items are usually “wish for’s” that do not make it into the regular library budget. Last year, for instance, the “A Good Read” book store donated over $10,000 to the library from its fundraising efforts. So, books purchased at “A Good Read” book store sale like the one coming up this Saturday, Nov. 2 not only provide a reader with books at rock-bottom prices but also ends up helping out the library through directing all proceeds to the library. It’s a win-win situation that helps all readers and library patrons.

52 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, October 31, 2013

News - Halloween will not be ending until this Friday, Nov. 1 in Stittsville. That’s because this year will see the inaugural Stittsville Pumpkin Parade held at Village Square Park in the heart of Stittsville this Friday, Nov. 1 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. All Stittsville residents are encouraged to bring the carved pumpkin (jack o’ lantern) used at home on Halloween to Village Square Park and have it displayed along with others. And even if you don’t have a jack o’ lantern on Halloween, you are encouraged to drop by Village Square Park that evening and see the jack o’lanterns on display. In fact, there will be voting for the

best ones and everyone will be able to vote. The carved pumpkins will be numbered and you simply have to make your way along the route lined with these pumpkins and select and vote for your favourite. There will also be free hot chocolate served and donations to the Stittsville Food Bank will be accepted. Everyone is welcome to attend this inaugural community event and enjoy a last taste of Halloween fun. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and his team will be on hand to help organize the event. Pumpkins will able to be dropped off at the site after 4 p.m. that day. And you will not have to worry about taking

your pumpkin home. The city of Ottawa will be collecting all of the pumpkins and will be composting them all. Those planning to bring a jack o’ lantern to this first-ever Stittsville Pumpkin Parade are reminded that lit candles illuminating the carved pumpkins are not allowed at this event. However, electric candles will be supplied on site so that the jack o’lanterns will be able to glow that night. Again, it’s all slated to happen this Friday, Nov. 1, the day after Halloween, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. Pumpkin drop off happens anytime after 4 p.m.

Renowned columnist coming Special to the News

News - A man once named best columnist in Canada will be bringing his storytelling talents to Stittsville on Saturday, Nov. 16. Dave Brown, retired after a 38 year newspaper career although he still writes periodically for the Ottawa Citizen, has over the years interviewed and profiled many military veterans and it is these military men which will be the focus of his remarks at the upcoming November meeting of the Goulbourn Historical Society. Mr. Brown will be speaking on “Military Men” at the Historical Society’s meeting on Saturday, Nov. 16 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend, whether an Historical Society member or not. Those who do plan to attend are urged to bring along any military memorabilia concerned relatives or friends who served in the military. At this meeting, you will get to hear Dave Brown who wrote more than 10,000 columns in his 38 year journalism career from which he retired in Aug. 2003.

On his retirement, the Ottawa Citizen called him “a legend” because of his consistently high readership. Indeed, he continues to write occasional columns for the newspaper. During his career, he has produced columns on subjects as diverse as ethics shortcomings among the professions to excesses of the child protection system. He has focused on the horrors of war through the eyes of veterans. Mr. Brown began in journalism at the age of 15, writing a high school newsletter on Manitoulin Island. His work caught the attention of the editor of the weekly Manitoulin Expositor who he eventually worked for. In 1957, he accepted a reporting job with the Sudbury Daily Star. Three years later, he became a night police reporter for the Ottawa Journal. In 1966, he began writing a column called “Below the Hill,” focusing his attention on Ottawa at street level. In 1978, the Ottawa Citizen hired him to write a daily column called “Brown’s Beat. “ In 1996, he was given the title “senior editor” at the Ottawa Citizen in recognition of his long service and high readership.

She played boys hockey until switching to the Kanata Rangers and now the Lady Senators. Amanda Titus, who is also 17, comes from a family whose father played hockey at a high level at one time. She played girls hockey before joining the Ottawa Lady Senators. Rebecca played for the Ontario Blue team in last year’s Canadian women’s under 18 championships, winning the gold medal in the competition. She is hoping to repeat this year with the Ontario Red team. Earlier this year, in August, she played for Canada’s under 18 women’s team in a three game series against the United States squad in Lake Placid, New York. She describes herself as a two-way playmaker type of player who can score goals herself but who always likes to help others score. She feels that she is good defensively as well. Amanda sees herself as a pretty well rounded player who sees the ice well, works hard and is reliable, both offensively but also helping out on defense as well. Rebecca will be attending Boston University after graduating this year from Sacred Heart, feeling that the program there will be best for her both academically and from a sports point of view.

She feels that she will be able to reach both her hockey goals and her academic goals through attending university there. She hopes to study sports psychology. Amanda, for her part, will be attending Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, after graduation this June, both for its hockey program and also for its academic offerings. She is looking at Clarkson’s science and business programs, although she is not yet sure exactly what program she will pursue. She admits that she finds the sciences really interesting. For both Amanda and Rebecca, this is their final year with the Ottawa Lady Senators. Both admit that they will be sad to leave their friends on this team but both are looking forward to their university hockey starting in the fall. “It’s a dream come true for both of us,” Rebecca says about having the opportunity to play hockey at top American universities. While playing currently for the Ottawa Lady Senators of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, Amanda and Rebecca have a full schedule, with practices, off-ice training and at least two games each weekend, many of them on the road. The team is doing better than JOHN CURRY/METROLAND last season so far and Amanda and Rebecca are encouraged that the team could Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 12 students Rebecca Leslie, left, and Amanda Titus, right, have a good chance in the league play- are off to Calgary next week to play in the 2013 Canadian women’s under 18 hockey championship, playing for the Ontario Red team. offs this season.
