Top in the province in food safety. That’s King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond. The store has been recognized as the Your Independent Grocer (YIG) store which achieved the highest score in the food safety audits conducted in YIG stores across the province in 2016. The food safety audits are conducted by a third-party company, Steritech, which has expertise in food safety procedures. Each of the 54 YIG stores in Ontario is audited by Steritech twice a year. These on-site audits are completely random, with Steritech personnel showing up unannounced on any given day. A food safety audit sees Steritech check on a store’s cleanliness and its procedures in handling food, particularly in those areas of the store where food preparation happens. This covers everything from pest control and hand washing to the temperature in counters and cleanliness, including hard-to-reach areas such as behind counters. In the audit, Steritech personnel spend half a day in the store, checking and recording the results related to all of these areas. And, remember, these are the experts and they know what to look for in assessing a store’s commitment to cleanliness and food safety. King’s YIG received a score of 96.9 per cent as the average of its two in-store audits in 2016, placing it first among all YIG stores in Ontario. And King’s YIG owner Chris King could not be prouder of his staff whom he praises for their work in ensuring a clean and safe environment in the store. See ALWAYS STRIVING, page 3

Parents seek answers as opioids become more common ‘There’s a lot of hurt in this room’: councillor BY NEVIL HUNT nevil.hunt@metroland.com
Ottawans are trying to come to grips with a wave of opioid abuse — and the resulting addictions and deaths. A Feb. 27 public meeting in Kanata drew a standing-room crowd of parents seeking information, as well as parents who have lost children to drugs. Others said they have children who are addicted to illegal drugs but have struggled to find space in treatment programs. Opioids may come in prescription form or be made or
imported illegally. Recently, Ottawa police say fentanyl has been added to other illegal drugs, meaning drug users may be taking this dangerous opioid without knowing it. One dose may contain a fatal amount of the drug. All opioids can cause an overdose; fentanyl is even riskier because it is 50 to 100 times more powerful than the basic opioid, morphine. The Kanata Recreation Complex’s concourse was turned into an education zone for parents at the meeting. In a space where hockey parents usually watch their kids play on
the ice surfaces below, a pharmacist explained how to inject naloxone into someone who is suffering an overdose of opioids: loading a needle, seeking a large muscle, and doing CPR. Representatives of local school boards attended the meeting, pledging more education for students about the risks or fentanyl or other illegal drugs which could contain fentanyl. “We need to get kids talking with each other (about the risks),” said public board trustee Donna Blackburn prior to the meeting. “At this point, one mistake can take a life.” Blackburn said the public made available in schools. school board will likely considAnother school board offier whether naloxone should be cial, speaking during a public question-and-answer session later in the evening, said schools want to “focus on prevention as early as possible,” adding that the provincial curriculum introduces drug discussions as early as Grade 4, and that illicit drugs are part of lessons starting in Grade 6.

Some speakers described frustrating experiences dealing with the health-care system when they tried to get treatment for a child. One man said he took his son to two hospitals, a treatment centre — which was full — and the offices of his MP and MPP, without success. He said his son is now dead. Another parent said his family doctor provided a letter to get his daughter admitted to a hospital to see a psychologist, only to be informed no psychologist was available when they arrived at a hospital emergency room.

Parents gather around an Ottawa paramedic to hear about Naloxone, a medication that can reverse an opioid overdose. People packed a meeting room at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Feb. 27 to hear from a panel about the abuse of Fentanyl and other opioids amongst Ottawa’s youth. they need help navigating the health-care system. Martell faced some outbursts from a number of people who questioned him about the limited amount of space in facilities that care for people with addictions. When he said the health network, known as the LHIN, “has added expertise,” and “is growing capacity,” at the Royal Mental Health Centre, he was interrupted by audience members who questioned why the Royal is adding psychologists after cutting addictions counsellors. Martell said both psychologists and counsellors are needed, and agreed “We need more capacity.” WAVE COMING
A number of speakers on the evening’s panel said the fentanyl crisis experienced in Western Canada over the past few years may be arriving in Ottawa. Ottawa police Deputy Chief Steven Bell said counterfeit fentanyl pills are appearing in Ottawa, and that it is also being added to other drugs. Because it is added in powder form, the pills that are produced don’t have uniform doses. “You’re playing Russian roulette every time you take one,” Bell said. Bell added that opioid is affecting all parts of the city, and users may be any age or part of any demographic. Anthony Di Monte is man-

ager of the city’s emergency and protective services, which includes the paramedic service. He said it’s impossible to say how widespread opioid abuse could become. “We don’t know how big the bottom of the iceberg is,” Di Monte said. He said the number of calls related to opioid use is growing. In response, the city has placed naloxone kits in all fire department vehicles, and there are plans to have them in police cars. Dr. Isra Levy, medical officer of health, encouraged parents to discuss problems they experience and potential solutions. “I wish I had the answers,” Levy said, adding that youthled health campaigns have proved effective, especially in fighting tobacco use. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson wrapped up the question-and-answer session. “There’s a lot of hurt in this room,” Wilkinson said. She encouraged people to continue talking about the opioid issue.

Health board chair urges parents to talk about drug dangers BY BRIAN DRYDEN brian.dryden@metroland.com
Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri is at the forefront of community leaders urging parents across the city and in his ward to talk with their kids about the dangers posed by new highly-potent dangerous drugs that are hitting the streets in the nation’s capital region. Qadri, who is chairman of the city’s health board, has been monitoring the situation closely ever since the opioid crisis spreading across the country first started making the news on the west coast in British Columbia. Since then, recent deaths and drug busts in the greater Ottawa area, including an overdose by a 14-year-old Kanata student, has upped the ante for police, public health and local parents who packed a special meeting about the opioids crisis for Ottawa’s west end communities in Kanata on Feb. 27. But Qadri was quick to
stress that the public meeting in Kanata — which involved numerous west end city councillors including Coun. Eli El-Chantiry, who is chair of the Ottawa Police Services board, Coun. Qadri, Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, Coun. Scott Moffatt and Coun. Allan Hubley and was held at the Kanata Recreational Centre with experts from Ottawa Public Health, Ottawa Police Services, Ottawa Paramedics and the Youth Services Bureau in attendance — is not just a “west end” problem. CITY-WIDE ISSUE
“It’s an emerging issue, but it is not a west end problem, it is an issue that affects the whole city,” Qadri told Metroland Media before the Feb. 27 public meeting in Kanata. Qadri has been raising the alarm about the situation for weeks, having written to local media outlets before New Year’s Eve celebrations stressing the need for New Year’s revellers to be extra careful
when it comes to the use of illicit opioids such as Fentanyl. In a message to his constituents in Stittsville posted to his website, the councillor has followed up on his concerns about the opioid crisis with a plea to parents to address the issue head on with their kids. “Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more toxic than morphine. It is usually found in a powder form and mixed with cocaine, crack or heroin or pressed into pills and sold as things like oxycontin, Percocet, speed, or ecstacy/MDMA.” Qadri’s most recent Councillor’s View blog states. “It has become more prevalent within the past year and has now made its way to Ottawa streets and already we are beginning to bear witness to some of its tragically deadly side-effects. “No parent wants to think that their child might be exposed to dangerous drugs but the truth is that these powerful and addictive chemicals are present within our communi-
ties and children are vulnerable targets to their impact,” he said. “By speaking with your children and explaining the potentially lethal effects that drugs such as these can pose in such small doses, it might mean the difference between their ability to take a stand and refuse them when offered or giving into the dangers of
peer pressure.” Two weeks ago Ottawa Public Health (OPH) and the Ottawa Police Service issued an alert to warn residents about counterfeit prescription medications found in the city. In Ontario and in the Ottawa area, illicit fentanyl has been detected in counterfeit pills manufactured to resemble prescription pills such as
CENTREPOINTE THEATRES PRESENTS
Percocet. “This is something that, as chair of the health board, fits with my portfolio, and I am taking very seriously,” Qadri told Metroland Media in an interview “We are all being asked what can be done, “ Qadri said of questions from residents that all city councillors are dealing with these days.

In last week’s column, I included information on the upcoming meeting of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee. Please note that, due to a small and non-urgent agenda, the meeting for March 2nd was cancelled and the two agenda items will be deferred to our April 6th meeting. Bob Easy receives Mayor’s City Builder Award At the City Council meeting of February 22nd, I had the pleasure of joining Mayor Jim Watson in presenting the Mayor’s City Builder Award to Munster’s Bob Easy. Bob Easy has been involved in building and supporting youth in the communities of Munster and Richmond going back to the 1970s. The sense of community and of family he established among the teams he coached was sadly evident in 2012 when one of Bob’s players, Tyler Kerr, died tragically during a game due to a heart condition. Bob took it upon himself as head coach to support the boy’s family, his team and coaches, and the opposing team, by arranging grief counselling. He also organizes fundraising events to assist local players whose parents are unable to fully afford the cost of a hockey season; players who have been given the opportunity to play at a higher competitive level but whose parents are not able to pay the fees associated with that. In 2001 Bob was presented with a plaque in recognition of his outstanding service to Minor Hockey under the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association. In 2009-10 he was honoured as Coach of the Year by the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association for his special dedication to player development and team play. In 2014 Bob was presented with the Bill Kitchen Award for his devotion of time and effort to strengthening minor hockey in the community. Bob was also involved in umpiring for fastball in Kanata for many years, and in slo-pitch in North Gower, Richmond and Munster in his later years. He is also involved in the Munster Co-operative Nursery School’s annual ball tournament in June. There aren’t too many community events in which you don’t see the always recognizable Bob Easy involved in some way. Just recently, Bob and I both took a few pies in the face at the Munster Harvest Fest. Fortunately for me, I don’t have Bob’s beard so the clean-up was much easier. Congratulations Bob! It is a well deserved honour.

OPINION
Connected to your community
A truly Canadian voice silenced Stuart McLean of CBC radio’s Vinyl Café was a Canadian superstar. And what did he do? He simply told stories. Yes, famous and beloved across the country, Stuart gained his fame by telling us stories about Dave, owner of a second-hand record store, his wife Morley and their children, Sam and Stephanie. It was a combination of Stuart’s unique storytelling technique combined with the universal appeal of the stories themselves that led to his success. You only had to hear his voice to know you were in for a treat. He had a mischievous twinkle in this voice at times, a sound that made you nervously laugh in anticipation of what was coming. His stories would hold his audience spellbound over the airwaves, with listeners embracing every word. Who can ever forget the Christmas turkey story or the snowy trip to Cape Breton or changing the location of an outlet in the kitchen and oh, so many more. How many times did each of us foresee what was going to happen, wonder why Dave did not anticipate it and then chuckle at the
outcome? History is littered with great storytellers — Shakespeare, Dickens, Jane Austen and the more modern J.K. Rowling. The American humourist and folksy raconteur Will Rogers was one who perhaps foreshadowed Stuart in some respects. And don’t forget the Ottawa Valley’s own Mary Cook among our engaging storytellers. But Stuart seemed to take storytelling to a new level. It was not hard to identify with those who sang his praises following his unexpected death from cancer. His stories spoke to people. They taught us the importance of the unimportant. They showed us that the world is a good place. All this was true and all were reasons for his popularity and success. Yes, Stuart, we will miss you and your stories. We will miss your humanity, your impeccable timing and the way you could hold our attention, waiting for that next thought to drop. You are Canada’s story, Stuart — quiet, unassuming, observant, funny, but most of all, human. Goodbye, Vinyl Café.
How do we stop drugs from getting to kids?
T
he horror of drug overdoses has moved out of the alleys of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and into the living rooms of Kanata. That has jolted a lot of people into the conversation who weren’t there before. But the conversation so far is incomplete: How to talk to kids about drugs? How to make sure that drugs to counteract overdoses are available? Most of the discussion has focused on those two points. Less discussed is another question: How do we stop the drugs from getting to the kids? That may be the most important question, in the long run, but we’ve almost stopped talking, as a society, about the law enforcement side of the drug issue. Perhaps this is an unintended consequence of the so-called “War on Drugs” — a term that dates back to the Nixon presidency in the U.S. Over

And it doesn’t look like we can do that without a massive effort to stop the importation and distribution of the illegal substances. In other words, a war on drugs. To be sure, part of the effort will involve persuading foreign governments, such as China, to crack down on producers and exporters. Also, work needs to be done to deal with the problem of the over-prescribing of opioids, because legal opioids are a serious problem, too. But there’s also a powerful need for good old-fashioned law enforcement — catch those who are manufacturing, distributing and selling illegally, sometimes online, and punish them strongly In the ongoing discussion, which has been stimulated by some courageous parents in Ottawa, we need to hear more about that.

In the workshop, blanket exercise participants took on the roles of indigenous peoples in Canada. Standing on blankets that represented the land, they walked through pre-contact, treatymaking, colonization and resistance. They were directed by facilitators representing narrators and the European colonizers. Participants were drawn into the experience by reading scrolls and carrying cards which ultimately determined the outcomes.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
March 2, 2017
Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed March 4th into a Healthy 2017 at the GRC With 2017 now upon us we are leading into a year of celebration of not only 150 years of our history but the ever growing communities we live in. More and more people are migrating to Ottawa to live, work and play. In my capacity as Chair of the Board of Health I am working in conjunction with Ottawa Public Health (OPH) to hold an event that celebrates the many partners in our community who support a common mandate in the roles we hold working with our residents in the City of Ottawa – this is improving and supporting the lives of others. On March 4th from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, I invite you to join me along with Ottawa Public Health and our various partners at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (1500 Shea Rd) - as we hold a health and well being fair entitled “March 4th into a Healthy 2017” – Here we will show case to the residents some of the many supports and health resources that are available for them. OPH along with; the Goulbourn Recreation Complex program staff, Safer Roads Ottawa, Ottawa Fire Services, Western Ottawa Community Resource Center, Canadian Blood Services, Ottawa Police/Neighbourhood Watch, the Kidney Foundation of Eastern Ontario and The Trillium Gift of Life, the Distress Center of Ottawa, Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation and Heart and Stroke will be on hand to provide residents with information and guidance on the various resources and support they have to offer. I hope to see you on March 4th and come and try our stationary bike smoothie maker!
Proposed Age Friendly Enhancements to the City Right-of-Way at Stittsville Sign I am excited to share with the community proposed plans for the area of greenspace surrounding the Stittsville sign located at the southwest corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road. As part of site plan for the Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence, working with my office the applicant has requested to design and construct “older adult” age friendly “park” improvements to the City owned open space lands designated as road allowance located next to their proposed retirement living development. The scope of this project involves the implementation of age-friendly “older adult” site improvements to the existing road allowance located at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street. The project will involve all aspects of design and construction from the initial start-up and concept phase (with public consultation), through to detail design, tendering, construction and contract administration carried through to commissioning and eventual take over by the City. Age friendly improvements to the green space road allowance will serve all members of the community and will include amenities suitable for a broad range of age-groups, abilities and interests, and will complement the existing park amenities in the Stittsville park and green space network. Program considerations may include but are not limited to: • adult active recreational amenities: bocce court, putting green, shuffle board / pickleball Court • seating opportunities (accessible benches and tables / games tables) • shade shelter • review of pathway(s) to comply with accessibility standards • fitness component / bench fit signage • informal and multi-purpose open spaces • tree preservation • Sensory recreational experiences: quiet sitting areas for contemplation, perennial and flowering shrub planting • Social gathering opportunities The project is being developed in partnership with the developer and funded through the Ward 6 Cash-in-Lieu (CIL) of Parkland fund. Construction is anticipated to be completed by Fall 2017 and made available to residents for Spring 2018.

I feel this is an excellent project providing activities geared towards a population that the majority of our parks in Stittsville do not cater to, while also providing different park amenities that may be of interest to all ages.

You can review the concept plan on my website at Shadqadri.com.

Greenspace plan would create ‘welcome corner’ for community The area in question is a sliver of greenspace where the “Welcome to Stittsville” sign is located at the corner of Main St. and Hazeldean Rd. Coun. Shad Qadri said the site in question is a city-owned road allowance, and what is being proposed would help beautify the area around the welcome to town sign. “The sign would remain there, it is not going to affect the sign,” he said. But he added that the propsal to create an “older adult” age-friendly “park” would not only benefit the residents who will eventaully live at the Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence, but also create a more welcoming enterance into Stittsville. “I want it to become a welcoming corner,” Qadri said. “Age friendly improvements to the greenspace road allowance will serve all members of the community and will include amenities suitable for a broad range of age-groups, abilities and interests, and will complement the existing park ameni-
ties in the Stittsville park and greenspace network,” Qadri said. Among the amenities being considered are: • adult active recreational amenities: bocce court, putting green, shuffle board/ pickleball Court • seating opportunities (accessible benches and tables / games tables) • shade shelter • review of pathway(s) to comply with accessibility standards • fitness component/ bench fit signage • informal and multi-purpose open spaces • tree preservation • Sensory recreational experiences: quiet sitting areas for contemplation, perennial and flowering shrub planting • Social gathering opportunities. Residents can comment on what is being proposed to the city or Qadri’s office by March 10.

2017 and be ready for use by residents by spring of 2018. According to Qadri, the project is a partnership with the developer and would be funded through the Stittsville Ward 6 Cash-in-Lieu of Park-
land fund. Qadri has agreed to free up to $114,881 from the Ward 6 parkland dedication funds for the design and construction of the project. According to Qadri, the
budget represents the amount of Cash-In-Lieu of Parkland owing to the Ward 6 fund from the retirement development at 6130 Hazeldean Rd ($64,881) and a top up of $50,000 from the Ward 6 parkland account.
BENEFIT FOR COMMUNITY
Qadri said his office has been working with the developer of the Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence, and he is optimistic that what is being proposed will be a benefit to all in the community. “I am very pleased with the partnership we have made with the developers of Hazeldean Gardens Retirement Residence,” Qadri said. “The property will remain city property and the developer has committed to continue their partnership by establishing a lending process for members of the public to borrow the required equipment for some of the activity areas being planned.” If all goes forward as anticipated, construction is expected to be completed by the fall of

It was a blast from the past at city hall on Feb. 21. Exhibitors came from as far away as Watson’s Mill and the Goulbourn Museum, where one volunteer dressed as the Duke of Richmond, who died of rabies 197 years ago. The event at city hall comes on the heels of the annual Heritage Day event that is held at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa public library and is overseen by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. That Heritrage Day event was held back on Feb. 18 at the Stittsville library and involved members of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society dressing up in historical clothing as they regalled attendees with
tales from the past. More than 45 historical societies and conservation organizations showcased their material at Jean Pigott Place on Feb. 21. Mayor Jim Watson proclaimed it to be Heritage Day in Ottawa. The celebration was part of an annual celebration of years gone by. This year, Heritage Week was Feb. 20 to 26. In addition to the proclamation, Watson recognized the Bytown Museum, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, as well as the Council of Heritage Organizations in Ottawa, which celebrates its 25th anniversary. This year’s theme for Heritage Week is My Canada 150.The theme encourages Canadians to embrace and explore heritage places and spaces.

ing with the food bank, noting the good work that the food bank does in the Stittsville community. Cindy Beauchamp said in her parting remarks that she has much admiration for everything that is done at the food bank, noting the many hours which are contributed to its operation by volunteers from the community. Theresa Qadri is continuing as chair of the Stittsville Food Bank. Ayah Stretch will once again be the vice-chair for the coming year, with Wayne Beaten continuing in the role of treasurer. Others on the board of directors for the coming year are Jane Joy as secretary, Ferzana Qadri as director of client services, Bill Graham as director of food donations, Jamie McLaughlin as director of food drives, Jo-Anne Ilkiw as director of inventory and Ron Hauck, Janice Leblanc and Amanda Tessier as directors-at-large. The Stittsville Food Bank believes that healthy food is essential for everyone. That’s why providing milk, eggs, cheese, meat, fresh vegetables and fruit to clients as well as non-perishable items is so important to the organization.
Food items donated to the food bank are sorted by month and year of their “best before” date to reduce waste. Stocking the shelves at the food bank as well as sorting the donated items and checking their “best before” date are some of the ongoing tasks undertaken by food bank volunteers. Food bank volunteers pick up the food items donated at the various drop-off bins around the community as well as the food items donated in the food drives held in the community. The Stittsville Food Bank operates thanks to the generosity of Stittsville and area residents. The food bank does not receive any type of funding assistance from the government or organizations as it relies totally on donations from the public, both in terms of food items as well as financial donations. Donations of food and cash are what ensures the continued ability of the Stittsville Food Bank to provide support and help to those families in the community which are in need. The Stittsville Food Bank can be contacted at 613-831-0451. Anyone interested in volunteering with the Stittsville Food Bank should email Stittsvillefoodbank@gmail.com.

The Legislature is back in session at Queens Park and we have a lot of work to do. The Wynne government is raising the cost of electricity in our province to one of the highest levels in North America. The government has introduced a Cap-and-Trade cash-grab which will cost Ontario families hundreds of dollars more every year. The government needs to stop making life harder for Ontario families.

the Silver Knights from South York 54-17 in a solid defensive outing. The Hornets put together a strong Game 3 against the Sudbury Jam. The score was 15 to 14 for Goulbourn after the first quarter and then the Hornets exploded at both ends of the court and came out on top with a 63-35 victory to qualify for the gold medal game on the Sunday. The Hornets faced the Brockville Blazers in this tournament final. The Blazers and Hornets had met twice this year in Eastern Ontario Basketball Association league play and split these first two games. Despite a strong start by the Blazers, the Hornets were able to maintain a ten-point spread through most of the second half and came out on top with a 47-35 win. “The four games in the MUMBA Tournament were the most complete team games of the season. I was very proud of the team and how they kept up their competitive level for the entire weekend. We are really coming together as a team and are peaking at the right time,” said Hornets’ coach Graham Thompson. The Hornets have a 13-4 season record with two gold medal victories in their first two tournaments of the year including the Chris Paulin Tournament in Kanata.

Football in Malik Yusuf’s past, present and future BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Football should be in Malik Yusuf’s future. It’s been very much a part of his past and his present as he has played for Team Ontario and will be playing in the Prospect Challenge in April involving the top football prospects in On-
tario playing their counterparts from Quebec. Malik, a 16 year old Grade 11 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, is now in his seventh year of playing football. Indeed, he got involved with the sport after he and his father were driving along in Stittsville and noticed a notice board about Bell Warriors football. At the time, Malik was involved with soccer but

after seeing the notice board, he signed up for the Bell Warriors at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and the rest is, as they say, history. Malik says that he liked football right from the start and he ended up playing mosquito, peewee and bantam football with the Bell Warriors before going on to play for the Myers Riders. This coming season, he will be playing for the Ottawa Sooners junior team in the new Ontario Provincial Football League. Malik has always played on defence in football, saying that he would rather give a hit than be on the receiving end of one. He likes the physicality of football while also enjoying making plays with his teammates, a feeling that he describes as “amazing.” Now six-foot-two-inches tall and weighing 185 pounds, Malik said that he is focused on getting heavier, noting that as an outside linebacker, his optimal size would be 225 pounds. He works out three times a week at a Kanata fitness gym along with his father, focusing on weight training, as well as cardio work for stamina. He says that his father is “my mentor” who works out with him, doing the same training. Malik describes himself as a “dynamic, quick player” who relies on his strength and his ability to close gaps to be effective. Bell Warriors president Paul Stewart, who coached Malik with the Warriors, noted that Malik was identified as a linebacker right from his first day with the Warriors. “He’s a tall, athletic young man who moves well and has a nose for the ball,” president Stewart writes in an email about Malik. “Even when he was young, he was a deter-
mined and decisive hitter which has clearly caught the attention of coaches at the next level,” he wrote about Malik in the email. Malik certainly has done this as he has now made two appearances with Team Ontario in the “International Bowl,” a game played at the AT&T Stadium (formerly Cowboys Stadium) which is the home of the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League (NFL) in Arlington, Texas. This game involves Team Ontario playing against Team USA using American football rules. While Team Ontario has lost both of these games, Malik himself played well both times. In his latest appearance, he had a sack and five tackles, playing only three-quarters of the game, while the year before he also had a number of tackles. It was an awesome experience just to play at the home stadium of the Dallas Cowboys, running out of the tunnel for player introductions before the beginning of the game and even touring the stadium and seeing where players such as Cowboys’ quarterbacks Tony Romo and Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott suit up The “International Bowl” game drew about 8,000 fans which Malik admits all seemed to be cheering for the U.S. team. Malik played last year for Team Ontario in the Canada Cup which is a competition which involves provincial football teams from the various provinces. He will be trying out in March to play in this Canada Cup competition again this year. See DREAMS, page 19
Dreams of playing pro football Continued from page 18
Malik has talked to scouts from both Canadian universities and American Division 1 schools about where he might commit to playing when he finishes high school. He would still like to get his name out there better among the American universities and that is why he is planning to attend a prep school in the United States next year so that he will get more exposure to American universities. He would prefer to attend an American university as he feels that the coaching would be better. But wherever he plays at the university level, his dream remains to play professional football, be it the NFL or the Canadian Football League (CFL). “To just play pro ball would be my dream,” he says. He looks back fondly on his years John Curry/Metroland with the Bell Warriors, saying that he will always be a Bell Warrior. He calls Malik Yusuf
his years with the Bell Warriors some of the best years of his life where he had a lot of fun, enjoyed the camaraderie of his teammates, met a lot of people and made lifelong friends. He praises the coaches that he had with the Warriors, saying that there were great coaches who shaped his football skills. Last fall, Malik played one game for the Sacred Heart Huskies football team which he enjoyed as he was representing his school but he had to withdraw on the advice of his coaches because playing for the school team, as well as the Myers Riders proved to be just too much football for him in addition to his schooling. At school, his favourite course so far has been on American history, saying that he learned something new every day when taking the course. He is looking forward to going on an American history school trip to Washington in April.

Chocolate beet cake delicious treat Who would have thought you could add the goodness of ruby red beets to chocolate cake? The beet’s natural sweetness and moisture adds a delicious and unique flavour that perfectly pairs with chocolate, making this delectable cake tender and moist. • Preparation time: 20 minutes • Roasting time: 60 minutes • Baking time: 50 minutes • Serves 8 INGREDIENTS
• 3 beets (about 1 lb/500 g) • 2 cups (500 mL) all-purpose flour • 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder • 1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) baking soda • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt • 3 Ontario Eggs • 1/4 cup (50 mL) vegetable oil • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) packed brown sugar • 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla • 3/4 cup (175 mL) hot water Icing:
• 1 cup (250 mL) 35 per cent whipping cream • 1 tbsp (15 mL) granulated sugar • 1 tbsp (15 mL) unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder. PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
Trim both ends of beets. Wrap beets with foil and place on baking sheet. Bake in 400 F (200 C) oven for 45 to 60 minutes or until tender when pierced with sharp knife. Unwrap and let beets cool slightly; slip off skins. Roughly chop and place in food processor and process until smooth. Measure out 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) of beet puree. Reduce oven to 350 F (180 C). Spray nine-inch (23 cm) round baking pan with cooking spray and line with circle of parchment paper. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside. In large bowl, whisk together eggs, oil, brown sugar, vanilla and beet puree. Add flour mixture to beet mixture alternately with hot water, beginning and
ending with flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in pan on wire rack for 15 minutes. Turn cake out and let cool completely. Icing: In large chilled bowl, using electric mixer on high, whip cream, sugar and cocoa, until firm peaks form. Pipe rosettes or frost top of cake and dust with cocoa, if desired. Tips: Omit cocoa from whipping cream and add 1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla for vanilla whipped cream. If you have any extra beet puree, freeze for another use. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Variety of topics in Lions public speaking contest BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Refugees and Canada’s aboriginal peoples. Technology in today’s society. Feminism. Today’s society and saving the planet. These were the topics of the speeches delivered in the youth effective-speaking competition hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville Feb. 22. The competition attracted two speakers in the
intermediate category and two speakers in the senior category. In the intermediate category, Evan Moo, a Grade 7 student at Ecole Paul Desmarais in Stittsville, talked about Canada’s helping of refugees as compared to the plight of many of the country’s aboriginal peoples with undrinkable water on some reserves and lack of education. Sacred Heart Catholic High School Grade 7 student Julia Terzi outlined the benefits of technology in today’s world such as having in-
formation at your fingertips rather than having to go to the library to search for it. But she also noted some of the downsides to technology such as more impatience and less direct interaction among people. She concluded, there is more good than bad about technology in today’s society. In the senior category, Karolina Moo, a
Grade 9 student at Ecole Franco Ouest, made the argument for the continuing need for feminism in the world, noting that while Canada has come a long way in the past 100 years since women first were able to vote, there is still a long way to go. See ROHAN ABRAHAM, page 23

and she also referred to the recent decision to feature a woman on the ten dollar bill in Canada. Rohan Abraham, a Grade 11 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School, in his speech noted there are a lot of good things about today’s society, but there are still things that need

Where had Cora disappeared to?
MARY COOK Memories
I
t was certainly something to think about. And it was the talk of the Northcote School. Of course, we younger girls were never included in the whispering that went on with those in the senior grades. But we certainly knew something was going on, because the older girls stood off to one side, whispering, with heads bent, and a look on their faces FOR SALE
that would scare a saint. We knew it had something to do with Cora. She hadn’t been to school for weeks. The senior girls certainly knew, but their lips were sealed. Except among themselves. All Iva said was “poor Cora,” which made us all wonder if she had come down with some terrible disease. Well, bad Mar-

guerite, with more faults than enough, said she knew exactly what had happened to Cora, but she wasn’t about to talk about it to us! Marguerite told Velma if she gave her one of her ginger snap cookies, she’d tell us the whole story. We met in the farthest corner of the schoolyard, which is where Marguerite told us to be at recess, even though it was bitterly cold, and we would much rather have stayed in the school. But finding out about Cora was more important to us than freezing to death on a winter’s day. After Velma handed over the gingersnap, Marguerite said Cora had gone off to

She hadn’t been to school for weeks what was called the Home for Wayward Girls. “Liar, liar, pants on fire,” Joyce yelled at her. “You have to be very bad to go there, and we all know how polite Cora is, and never does anything bad in school, like someone else we all know,” she said, never taking her eyes off bad Marguerite. “Well, you wanted to know, and I told you. That’s where she is.” We had no idea where this home was. But it didn’t matter a whit where it was, Cora certainly wasn’t in any Home for Wayward girls! Not Cora! She never missed church, was polite to

Miss Crosby, and never cheated at Jack’s or Parcheesi. Then one Sunday, long after Cora had suddenly stopped coming to school, she appeared at church. There she was the same as always, smiling and singing the hymns like she had never been away from the Northcote School. As always, after church, people stood at the back and got caught up on all the news, and there stood Cora among everyone talking about the new job she got in the city of Ottawa. Velma and I took in every word. She said she was doing

housework at a home for young girls and not once did she mention the Home For Wayward Girls. We couldn’t wait to get to school on Monday to tell Marguerite that Cora had done nothing wrong, other than being in Senior Fourth where often the young girls were taken out to go into Renfrew, or in this case, the city, and do housework to help pay the bills at home.

What does International Women’s Day mean to you? BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
Around the world on March 8, events will be held to mark International Women’s Day. Across the City of Ottawa, events are being planned for this day to celebrate the many achievements of women ranging from cultural to political accomplishments. While the first formal International Women’s Day was celebrated by the United Nations in 1975, the event goes back to the early 1900s when in 1908 women marched through New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights. City of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson will be hosting a breakfast March 8 from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. at Ottawa city hall with guest speakers to be Maryam Monsef, Minister of the Status of Women, and Catherine McKenna, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change. What does International Women’s Day mean to you? A number of female leaders in the Stittsville community were asked this question and here are their replies: Theresa Qadri, chair of the Stittsville Food Bank and past president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville: “This is a day to thank the women before us for fighting for our rights … One thing I learned at a very young age is to be strong for yourself because no one can be strong for you … As the chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, we
see a lot of single mothers, and giving them hope and respect is essential to their well being. This gives hope and respect to them and it is relayed back to their children. Women can do anything in this world with determination and patience. Women are strong individuals but can be powerful when they come together for each other and for the rights of all women.” Marion Gullock, 58-year resident of Stittsville and longtime volunteer in the community: “I feel that International Women’s Day has brought the right of women in community, politics and recreation into the present and future…. My grandmother was very interested in government and when I was eight years old, she took me to Parliament Hill to sit in the gallery to find out how the country was run. I have always been interested and still like to meet the local members.” Tierney Sterling, 17, co-president at Sacred Heart Catholic High School: “International Women’s Day is an important day for me as I look forward to my future. It is a day in which everyone around the world should acknowledge and celebrate the many accomplishments of women but also how women have persevered over the past 50 years to be recognized as equals in today’s society. It is important to remember that there is still a tremendous amount of work to do in many Middle Eastern countries and Africa. The fight for equal rights for women is far from over and I believe
Tierney Sterling education is the key to change.” Ruth Richardson, a hospice palliative care teacher at Algonquin College and an active leader at Stittsville United Church where her husband Grant is the minister: “My grandmother would tell me about the struggles of women in Canada before they were people, not able to vote or own property, no rights at all. She told me stories of assisting war brides, assisting in her community with young women and their families. I know my grandmother was a pioneer for women’s rights and causes…. Watching my grandmother was an inspiration. Her stories of the “Famous Five” fascinated me as a child … I
learned about the Famous Five long before there was a statue but I was thrilled to witness both the Calgary and Ottawa bronze statues of these ladies. I now love to sit on the chair beside Emily Murphy and imagine her thoughts, her passion and convictions to change the world for women and young girls in her time. I have been blessed with strong female role models in my lifetime and I wish to be a mentor for other young girls growing up in 2017. So much has happened since my grandmother’s days; and yet in many ways around the world, so little has changed. There is still inequality and violence against women in Canada and around the world. In the workplace, women still are not seen as equal regarding pay and advancement.... Some might say that the issues are too large and vast and how can one person make a difference. This day … enables each and every one, both men and women, to consider ways to make a change. It is a day to celebrate women’s achievements and gather together to find ways to invoke change in the world around you.” Barbara Bottriell, a freelance magazine writer and broadcaster, author and community volunteer: “International Women’s Day puts the spotlight on issues that in past centuries and even in our own time have held women back from reaching their full potential. It is important to celebrate the successes we have had recently in recognizing that women have many talents that can be used in the
working world while not forgetting their special nurturing role in home life. Having an International Women’s Day reminds us that for a very long time, women were treated as chattels, with no vote, no money of their own and no right to even have a credit card without a husband’s signature agreeing to it. I see International Women’s Day as a celebration of women as persons in their own right. It’s something worthy of a celebration!” Helene Rivest, retired from the National Defence Department and active community volunteer: “My grandmother’s birthday was March 8 and to me, she, along with my mother, represent what International Women’s Day is all about. My grandmother was a “rural postal worker” in the 1950s and 1960s when there were only a handful of women doing that job in Canada and that was after she raised eight children…. To me, International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate women in three ways: remembering and acknowledging the past and all that those before us have done; building on that foundation by living our lives in gratitude for what we have so far and not only increase awareness in areas that need it but actively take steps to move the yardstick farther; and support the next generation by being good role models and encourage them to spread their wings at whatever they want to do. As a Big Sister for 12 years, I know first hand the impact that a positive role model can have on a young girl.”

Richmond Medical Centre building BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Things are happening on the medical front in Richmond. The new medical building for the Richmond Medical Centre is on schedule, with all of the approvals having been received from the City of Ottawa. Soon, there will be activity at the site at the corner of Perth Street and Rochelle Drive in Richmond as the services are installed at the site. Once the services are installed, things will really get moving, as the completion goal for the new facility remains as this coming fall. A Bio-Test lab has opened in the down-
stairs area of the Richmond Medical Centre’s current premises. This lab is open to the entire community, as clients do not have to be patients of the Richmond Medical Centre to have blood work done at the lab. Currently, the lab is open Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to noon, with no appointments necessary — just walk right in. These hours are subject to change until the best hours of operation are determined based on usage. Doctors Rod and Lucy Rabb had initially planned to continue practicing until this coming summer, at least, but they have had to expedite their retirements. As a result, provincial regulations mandated that official notices be sent out to those patients who had
not yet moved to one of the new physicians at the Richmond Medical Centre. These notices advised the patients to try to find new physicians for their health care needs. This was necessary to ensure that a patient does not neglect or postpone following up on any concerns in the belief that they would wait until there are more physicians available in Richmond. The Richmond Medical Centre continues to recruit new physicians; but since space is very limited in the current premises, there has been a halt on accepting new community patients, as there is now a concentration on accommodating local residents who are currently patients of the Rabbs.

Creature Containers. Pet Monster. Epic Lamp. What do these have to do with the Goulbourn Museum?

Youngsters can sign up for all three of these workshops or just one of them. At the workshop Tuesday, March 14, kids will make creature containers that hold a mythical creature of their very own. On Wednesday, March 15, those in the craft workshop will create their very own pet monster and the home in which it lives. At the workshop Thursday, March 16, kids will create an epic lamp by decorating the base of a lamp with everything from animal figurines to 3D superheroes. Cost of each workshop is $25 but there is a special rate of $65 covering all three workshops. Snacks and materials are included in the cost. The Kits' Club members rate is $20 per day. To register, please call 613-831-2393 or send an email to register@goulbournmuseum.ca. Note that parents will be required to complete a drop-off waiver for each child. During March break week, the Museum will be open Monday through Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The Goulbourn Museum is a registered charity located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley's Corners just south of Stittsville.

combined with scoring. Tori Bailey had numerous scoring chances and helped set up a nifty goal by Zoe McIntosh as the Rockets skated to a 3-0 win. Ally Green was named player of the game. This victory over Perth Wings set up a crucial game against the host Smiths Falls squad to determine which team would advance to the championship final. The Rockets got off to a slow start, but in the end the Smiths Falls Cubs would not handle the Rockets’ relentless presence on the ice. It was another shutout victory for the Rockets, with Madi Wong named as the Rockets’ player of the game for her shutdown defensive work. This set the stage for the championship final matching the Rockets against the Perth Wings. Once again, Perth could not stay with the Rockets with their punishing play and scoring prowess. A short-handed situation early in the first period, with Alex Henshaw taking a double minor, led to some nervous moments on the Rockets bench. Abby Blauer led the Rockets, scoring the eventual game winner while also setting up Makena Barker with a beautiful slap pass in the second period.

The Smiths Falls Cubs girls hockey tournament started slowly for the Goulbourn Rockets Bantam 2 team, but it sure ended on a high with the gold medals hanging around the necks of the players. Opening up the tournament against their nemesis from Kanata, the Rockets gave up the game’s first goal. Things did not look good for the Rockets. Was it going to be an early exit in the tournament? Little did the Rockets know at that time, but this goal would turn out to be the only one given up by the Rockets in the entire tournament which saw them advance right through to the championship final and an ultimate gold-medal victory. Thanks to Makena Barker’s top shelf goal, the Rockets rebounded in this opening game, earning a 1-1 tie. Grace Kasouf was named player of the game for the Rockets. On the Saturday of the tournament, the Rockets added Julia Robertson to the roster for added offensive punch as the team faced off against the Perth Wings, a team that the Rockets had never played before. Both teams battled for every inch of the ice, but as the game wore on, Perth sagged under Goulbourn’s relentless style of physical play

Award for Bob Easy Ecumenical World Day of Prayer service SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Bob Easy of Munster has received the Mayor’s City Builder Award. This is a civic honour created to recognize an individual, group or organization hat has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making Ottawa a better place to live through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action. Bob received the award at the beginning of the Ottawa city council meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 22, with Mayor Jim Watson and Rideau-Goulbourn Ward Coun. Scott Moffatt making the presentation. Bob has been involved in supporting youth activities in the communities of Munster and Richmond going back to the 1970s. The sense of community and of family that he established on the minor hockey teams which he coached was sadly evident in 2012 when one of his players died tragically during a game due to a heart condition. Bob took it upon himself as head coach to support the player’s family, his team and coaches and also the opposing team by arranging grief counselling. Bob also organizes fundraising events to assist local players whose parents are unable to fully afford the cost of a minor hockey season at a higher competitive level. In 2001, Bob was presented with a plaque in recognition of his outstanding service to minor hockey. In 2009/2010, he was honoured as coach of the year by the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association for his special dedication to player development and team play. In 2014, Bob received the Bill Kitchen Award recognizing his devotion of time and effort to strengthening minor hockey in the community. Bob’s volunteer efforts extend beyond minor hockey. He was a fastball umpire for many years as well as a slopitch umpire. He helps with the Munster Co-operative Nursery School’s annual ball tournament every June. In 2003, Bob, along with Sharon Shouldice of Stittsville, organized a tournament in support of Tori Carswell, a child cancer victim in Stittsville. Bob also volunteers as a Santa, including playing Santa in Munster’s Santa Claus Parade.

Two on all-tournament team Continued from page 36
The Rockets kept the Wings to a tournament-low six shots as goalie Violet MacEwen recorded her third shutout of the tournament along with a tournament-low 0.25 goals against average. Eliza Porteous was strong for the Rockets in this game. McKinley Cook scored on a crafty deflection, while Julia Robertson was all over the ice. Katie Bootland was a stalwart on defence, standing up numerous Perth forwards at the blue line. Goalie MacEwen and Barker were named to the alltournament team while Blauer was named as the tournament MVP.

An ecumenical World Day of Prayer service is happening in Richmond this coming Saturday, March 4. It will be hosted at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street starting at 11 a.m. The women of the Philippines have provided this year’s service. A lunch will follow the service. Everyone is welcome to attend this annual World Day of Prayer service. The World Day of Prayer is a global ecu-
menical movement which brings Christians together to observe a common day of prayer each year. Through this worship service, women in many countries come to know how their sisters in other countries with different languages and cultures understand the biblical passages in the context of their own situations. The World Day of Prayer began in the 19th century when Christian women in Canada and the United States started to be involved in missions in various parts of the world. Since 1812, women have encouraged
one another to engage in personal prayer and to take leadership in communal prayer within their mission auxiliaries and associations. Presbyterian women in the United States first called for a national day of prayer in 1887 while Anglican women in Canada established a national day of prayer for missions in 1895. In 1922, Canadian women agreed to use the same theme and day for a day of prayer as women in the United States. This annual event became the Women’s World Day of Prayer in 1927.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Question: I have been off work since May 2016 and have been trying to obtain short-term disability insurance since then. My doctor has provided me with three sick notes and at our last appointment she told me not to work. However, my application for short-term disability insurance has been denied. I’ve given the disability insurer the notes from my doctor and I’ve gone through the appeal process but have been denied again. My employer is now asking when I will return and I’ve booked an appointment with my doctor to see what she thinks. What should I do? It is not uncommon for disability insurers to deny an initial application for short-term disability benefits. Often the reason cited for the denial is a lack of medical evidence of a disability. If the only documentation you have provided to the insurer are sick notes from your doctor it is usually of assistance to obtain further medical records from your doctor including something documenting your diagnosis. Often, after receiving such additional documentation an insurer will approve an application for disability benefits. If you continue to be denied benefits, it is likely time to consult with legal counsel. It is important to note that short-term disability benefits typically end within 6

months even if you are approved. Ensure you know when these benefits end and decide with your doctor whether you should be applying for long-term disability benefits if they are available to you. With respect to returning to work you are entitled to rely on your doctor’s advice. If your doctor tells you not to work this should be documented in a doctor’s note and provided to your employer. Forcing you to return to work when your doctor says you’re sick is in breach of human rights legislation and it’s unlikely that your employer will insist on your return to work in the face of your doctor’s advice.
