songs of the 1950s and 1960s.

The Heartbeats will be providing an evening of twist and jive and romantic oldies ballads.

The band has been performing its golden oldies style of music throughout the Ottawa Valley for over 25 years.

Band members include Denny Welburn on lead guitar, Pat Hallett on rhythm guitar, Roger Heroux on bass guitar, Roddy McCann on sax and Richard Wills on drums.

News - Shakespeare is coming to town this Saturday, July 13.

Well, not the famous English poet and playwright himself as he died back in 1616 but one of the plays of Shakespeare, who is regarded as England’s greatest writer and dramatist, will be performed at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville at 7 p.m.

This Alexander Grove performance is the Stittsville stop this year in the “A Company of Fools” annual Torchlight Shakespeare series which began on Wednesday, July 3 and continues through to Saturday, Aug. 17 at various parks around the city of Ottawa and area.

These Torchlight Shakespeare shows are open to everyone and are based on “pass-the-hat” donations rather than any admission charge. A donation of $15 is suggested.

And you should have a good time or, rather, we should say, a “merry” time if you attend this “A Company of Fools” performance at Alexander Grove Park this Saturday, July 13 because the play being presented this year is “The Merry Wives of Windsor.”

While not considered by critics to be one of Shakespeare’s best works, it is still a rolicking comedy that plays upon the themes of love and marriage, jealousy and revenge, and social class and wealth.

“The Merry Wives of Windsor” features irony, sexual innuendo, sarcasm and stereotypical views of classes and nationalities.

So, there you have it. Love and marriage, jealousy and revenge, men and women, English, French and Welsh all collide in a classic clash of cultures, convention and battle of the sexes.

Sir John Falstaff, a rascally rogue with a penchant for drink, women and mischief, arrives in the small town of Windsor where he attempts to woo two married ladies at the same time, not realizing that they are aware of his intentions.

These wives of Windsor are “merry” indeed as they use and abuse Falstaff for their own amusement, teaching him a lesson in matters of the heart.

Public art sculpture ‘Overhaul’ is unveiled John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It stands at the front of Ottawa Fire Services Station 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville, a sculptured combination of metals that will for years to come intrigue viewers not only with its size and form but also with its name: “Overhaul.”

It’s the work of artist Michael Kinghorn who created this piece of public art after being selected for the job in a city of Ottawa public art competition. The commission also included creation of a second work, called “Collapse,” which will be unveiled at the new Station 47 on Greenbank Road in Nepean South.

As for “Overhaul,” it was officially unveiled in a brief ceremony at Station 46 on Thursday evening, July 4,

with artist Kinghorn wielding a giant pair of brass scissors to cut a ribbon running in front of the sculpture. He was assisted in the ribbon cutting by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, Ottawa Fire Services deputy chief Gerry Pingitore and Ottawa Fire Services assistant deputy chief Rudy Lindia.

In his remarks at the ceremony, deputy chief Pingitore praised artist Michael Kinghorn for having created “a sculpture that captures the essence of the Fire Services and of this station,” noting that the sculpture reminds viewers of the hard work and value of the city’s Fire Services.

He explained that the sculpture’s title “Overhaul” has two meanings in relation to this work.

Overhaul is a term frequently used by firefighters referring to the strip-

ping of walls and floors of a burning structure in order to search for trapped heat. The sculpture reflects this through its layers of materials which feature different textures and metals.

Overhauling can also refer to an act of restoration and in this case using and re-purposing found materials to create the sculpture. The materials used were re-purposed from discarded firefighting equipment such as the stainless steel drawers from an old fire truck as well as from other found items such as an old water tank acquired in the area.

This re-use of materials is in keeping with the environmentally focused design of Station 46 which achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, verifying its “green” status.

In his remarks at the ceremony, councillor Qadri praised Mr. Kinghorn’s sculpture “Overhaul” as being symbolic of the distinctiveness of the Ottawa Fire Services within the city and within the community, noting that it stands for the strength, commitment and sustainability that the men and women of the Ottawa Fire

Services offer to the community and the residents served by Station 46.

Speaking at the ceremony, artist Michael Kinghorn said that for him, “Overhaul” was a really special sculpture because it marked the first time that he had taken found objects and put them in a different context.

He admitted that it was only a few weeks before the unveiling that he was able to figure out how to incorporate a firefighter’s “challenge coin” into the sculpture. Every firefighter, not only in Ottawa but elsewhere as well, carries a challenge coin and incorporating one in the sculpture was important as a way of honouring firefighters.

He eventually struck upon the concept of placing one in a hose connector attached to the sculpture. In fact, he ended up placing three brass hose connectors on a side of the sculpture, one of which displays a challenge coin.

This public art sculpture, “Overhaul,” was commissioned under the city of Ottawa’s Public Art Program in partnership with the city’s Community Arts and Social Engagement Branch. Under this Public Art Pro-

gram, one percent of the capital budget for new municipal infrastructure such as fire halls goes to provide for public art.

Mr. Kinghorn’s commission resulted from a competitive process in which an art selection committee evaluated the qualifications of interested artists based on the criteria of artistic excellence, experience, ability to reflect the natural and cultural environment, durability and ability of the artist to engage the community.

In developing the concept for the sculpture, artist Kinghorn consulted with the firefighters and also collected found objects, both from the firefighters and in the community.

Michael Kinghorn has been exploring the use of found objects since 1987. Adding his skills as a blacksmith and welder, he recycles these objects into sculptural works. He cmbines found objects with layers of steel and copper to create unique pieces.

Since 1994, Mr. Kinghorn has been working out of his studio at Wakefield, forging decorative ironwork, creating sculptures and teaching students and apprentices.

Public art sculpture at Station 46 on Iber Road john.curry@metroland.com

News - A giant old steel water tank found in the community. Old firefighting equipment like hose connectors and stainless steel drawers from an old fire truck. Diverse objects that through the artistry of Michael Kinghorn have been combined and re-purposed to become what the artist himself describes as a “very smooth sculpture.”

This sculpture, named “Overhaul,” now stands beside the front entrance to the Ottawa Fire Services Station 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville. The seven foot tall, 1500 pound montage of metals was officially unveiled at a ceremony at the station on Thursday evening, July 4.

And while the finished product is flush with firefighting symbolism and connections, including not only its name “Overhaul” but also a firefighter’s “challenge coin,” the concept developed over time thanks to inspirational input from firefighters. Indeed, it was only just three weeks before the sculpture’s unveiling that artist Kinghorn came up to the way that he would incorporate a “challenge coin” in the sculpture while retaining the artwork’s “fluid” composition.

When Michael Kinghorn went before the selection jury assigned the task of choosing the artist who should receive the commission to create two pieces of public art, one for the new Ottawa Fire Services Station 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville and another for the new Station 47 on Greenbank Road in Nepean South, he had no idea of what the final sculptures would be. But the selection was made on which of the competing artists would work best with the firefighters and the community in developing a concept and then realizing it in the resulting public art.

Michael Kinghorn of Wakefield, who has been exploring the use of found objects since 1987 and has been creating things in his studio since 1995, got the jury’s nod for the commission but then his work of not only creating the sculpture but first and foremost developing the concept began.

He not only met with the firefighters, listening to their stories and asking questions, but also visiting training sessions at the Barrhaven station, learning things about firefighting and firefighter training that he did not know previously and which gave him insight into what his two sculptures (for Station 46 and also Station 47) might represent. The names of both sculptures, “Overhaul” for Station 46 and “Collapse” for Station 47 arose from these new insights.

Mr. Kinghorn readily admits that his inspiration for his sculptures came from his meetings and interactions with the firefighters at the two stations.

He says that “Overhaul” is a softer, gentler sculpture than Station 47’s “Collapse” sculpture which is not only larger, weighing about 3,000 pounds, but also depicts a building which has collapsed in a fire.

“Overhaul,” comes directly from the firefighters’ input as he learned that the term “overhaul” is frequently used by firefighters, referring to the stripping of walls of floors in order to search for trapped heat, opening things up and revealing other layers. The sculpture also has layers emanating from its different textures and metals.

While Mr. Kinghorn has created art from found pieces previously, none of his previous work has been on the scale of “Overhaul.” In addition, this sculpture marks the first time that he has manipulated materials rather than just used the found object. For instance, eight stainless steel equipment drawers from an old fire truck were transformed into a stainless steel skirt around much of the sculpture.

Much of the sculpture is made from steel that he recovered from a giant water tank which he found locally, specifically at Stephens Auto Wreckers. He was travelling around the area, looking for found items that he might be able to incorporate into the sculpture, making “cold calls” at farms.

He wasn’t being too successful at this until he turned into Stephens Auto Wreckers and there he spotted a huge old steel water tank that he could tell from its rivets and appearance that it was decades old.

“It was like a gift from the universe,” Mr. Kinghorn says about this discovery. He was happy not only because of the item but also because it had been found in the local area. He purchased it and shipped it to his shop in Wakefield where its steel has been incorporated into both of the sculptures.

Turning on memory meter John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - You might have sat at the end of a dock, fishing with a sibling. Or you might have in the past watched a wave roll towards an ocean beach. Or you might have looked in awe at a church’s stained glass windows. Or you might be familiar in your past with a log cabin in the woods.

If you have any of these specific memories, then the newest exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville will be a visual trip back in time for you as there are specific works on display portraying such scenes.

Jan Inniss’ oil painting “Summer Pleasures� portrays two youngsters fishing from a dock.

Gerald Smith’s “Gentle Wave,� an oil on canvas, shows a giant green wave moving towards a beach, surrounded by blue ocean with a blue sky overhead.

Sylvie Sabourin’s photo entitled “Memories of Ancient Times� shows the interior of a darkened church with several stained glass windows standing out as light filters through them.

Betty E. Sullivan’s oil painting says it all in its title: “Cabin in the Woods.� It shows a log cabin in a forested scene. Any memories for you?

But this newest exhibition, appropriately named “Memories,� has numerous other works on display that will turn on your memory meter. If you have travelled to Paris or China or Massachusetts or Oahu or France or Hanoi, you will see in this exhibition scenes that may bring back memories of your own travels to these places.

John Edkins’ photo “Paris� shows a rooftop view of Paris, with the iconic Eiffel Tower in the distance. But as one of the most recognizable structures in the world, it is easy to identify.

Sheila Murphy’s “City on the Yangtze,� an acrylic painting, shows a riverfront nighttime view of a high-rise Chinese city. Perhaps you took a cruise on the Yangtze that went by this city.

If you have visited the Boston area of Massachusetts, you might have visited Cape Anne

at the northern end of Massachusetts Bay, with Patrick Mason’s oil on masonite entitled “A Cape Anne Morning� bringing back some memories. The painting features lobster boats in the sheltered harbour with the red fishing building which is a favourite scene for many artists – and visitors.

Roseanne Facchin’s acrylic “Memories of Oahu� takes you to the Pacific Ocean, portraying a red/yellow sunset that you just might remember from a Hawaiian vacation.

It’s not Paris but rather Cassis, France that Anita Schlarb has captured in her photograph on canvas entitled “Calanque and Harbour, Cassis, France� showing numerous sail boats moored in a cliffside setting.

And while Hanoi in Vietnam may not have been visited by many, Alain Bernard’s oil painting entitled “Hanoi, Hier et Aujourd’hui� shows a typical street scene with a huge display of flowers as its focal point.

But memories can come from anywhere and you may discover yours when visiting this exhibition and seeing Louise Barker’s oil painting “Rocky Shores� with its watery outcroppings of rock or Patrick Bourke’s photograph “Abandoned� showing a boat spending its last days in a field.

Wendy Russell’s acrylic painting “Turn of the Century� will bring back memories of olden days with its blue lantern standing against a wooden background that features a hinge common in a bygone era. “Strollin’ Down Memory Lane,� a pastel by Judith Carruthers, shows two people walking arm in arm away from the painter. And speaking of walking, Josie Braden’s oil painting “A Familiar Stroll� shows a pathway leading past a forested area.

While not a pathway per se but rather a tractor-made laneway, the path angling through Trudy Daley’s oil painting “Field of Dreams� divides a field of white daisies and showy purple rudbeckias. It’s a large painting, 30 inches by 48 inches, but who hasn’t seen and remembered wild flowers in a field.

Memories can come from anywhere and yours may leap from art like J.B. (Bruce) Malmberg’s photograph “Freedom’s Hope,� a black and white piece, or Vera Van Baaren’s acrylic work “Inviting,� showing an A-frame

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Stittsville artist Patrick Mason stands beside his oil on masonite painting entitled “A Cape Anne Morning� now on display in the new “Memories� exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. cottage with lights glowing in its windows, or Mark Grasza’s “Summer in Ottawa Canal� oil painting that has Ottawa’s Peace Tower prominent in its rendition of a downtown Ottawa scene.

Or perhaps your memories stem from tales of castles and the like. You will like Michael Goguen’s “Bavarian Landscape,� a landscape with a fairy-tale like castle in a forest setting, with water in the foreground.

And perhaps some of the pieces on exhibit in this “Memories� exhibition will create memories for you, rather than help you recall memories from the past.

Ana Maria Rutenberg’s mixed media work “Tampering with Nature� features an assortment of brown leaves on a blue background.

Stephen Harrison is back in this exhibition with yet another photograph on dye-infused aluminum, that process that gives such a sharp reproduction of a photograph. His “Spiral Magic� causes one to pause as its circles spiral to a distant point. It lives up to its name. “Caught in the Storm� is an acrylic ab-

stract by Soraya Silvestri, with its yellow, gray and black colours, with white cracks running through it. “Moonlight Madness� is a fluid acrylic by Sheila Turner Whalen which conveys floral outlines with its white, yellow and red colours.

Another work in this exhibition which features outlines rather than specific images is “By The Waterfall,� an oil by Aud Karin Sund.

Is that the outline of a person sitting by the foot of the waterfall? The imagination is energized by this painting.

And if you like something that tests your imagination, Kathy McClure’s mixed media work “Sheer Pleasure� could be just what you want to view. This large work with its texture and its yellow, white and blue tones gives plenty of scope for anyone’s imagination.

This exhibition “Memories� will be on display at the owaa gallery at the GRC on Shea Road through to Friday, Sept. 6. It has replaced the previous exhibit “Textures of the Season� which ran from May through to last Friday, July 5.

EMC news - Saturday, Oct. 19 will be run day in Stittsville this year.

That’s when the annual 9 RUN RUN event, known as Ottawa’s Emergency Services Run since it is supported by the Ottawa Police Service, the Ottawa Fire Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service, will again be taking place.

Last year’s run raised $40,911.12 for Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) , a youth driven program focused on raising awareness about youth mental health, and the Royal’s Youth Mental Health Program. This year Funds are once again being directed to D.I.F.D. but also will be going to help support Christie Lake Kids.

Once again this year, this 9 RUN RUN event will be headquartered at Sacred Heart High School on Abbott Street. There will be a 2K Family Fun Run/Walk, a 10K run and a half marathon. Post race activities include the Chiefs’ Chili Cook-Off in which the chiefs of the three emergency services compete for the honour of having prepared the best-tasting chili.

There will also be a BBQ for everyone after the event.

Registration for this 2013 9 RUN RUN is now open. Visit www.eventsonline.ca/events/9runrun/ to register. Early registration is particularly encouraged for the 10K run since it always fills up quickly.

More information about this year’s 9 RUN RUN event is available at http://www.9runrun.ca/ .

Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) was created by friends and family of Daron Richardson who lost her life to suicide at a young age. D.I.F.D. is inspired by hope for a future where young people will reach out for help without fear or shame when faced with mental health issues.

Christie Lake Kids has been responding to the specific needs of economically disadvantaged children aged 6-17 in the Ottawa area since 1922. It provides year-round community and camp programs for economically disadvantaged children to help develop their physical, artistic

Councillor Diane Holmes, Chair of the Board of Health, welcomed over 130 residents to the Healthy Eating Active Living Innovation Forum at the Ron Kolbus-Lakeside Gardens Centre on June 18, 2013. The forum featured Kent Van Dyk, a local high school teacher, whose work as a chef has been featured on the Food Network’s television show Eat St. “Improving healthy eating and active living in Ottawa – through improved active transportation, better access to healthy foods and more supportive

environments to help make the healthy choice the easy choice – has been a significant priority for the Board of Health over the course of our term.,” said Councillor Holmes. “By bringing together various levels of government, grassroots initiatives and residents, we are setting the stage for real changes to make Ottawa a healthier city.”

Local champions also shared their creative healthy eating and active living ‘recipes for success’ including starting a workplace running club and setting up a community kitchen.

Some of the inspirational initiatives, organizations and businesses that were profiled at the forum included Causeway Right Bike, Boomerang Kids Strollercise, West Carleton Country Kitchen, Hidden Harvest, Ottawa Walking/Running Program at Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, Ottawa Citizens Corporation Rooftop Gardens, Brewer Park Community Garden Biodome and Stone Soup Food Works.

are complex health issues with many causes and contributors including the environments in which we live, learn, work, and play,” said Dr. Isra Levy, Medical Officer of Health.

“The forum was an opportunity for local champions to share their stories and make new links with other community members about healthy eating and active living successes across our city”

In May 2012, the Ottawa Board of Health approved the HEAL Strategy that aims to create a city that supports healthy eating and active living for all residents.

Byelections only delay inevitable

B

yelections are traditionally an opportunity for voters to protest public policy and punish the government.

But Premier Kathleen Wynne has taken it one step further by scheduling five byelections on Aug. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a couple days before the start of a long weekend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and in effect punishing the voters, by staging a vote during the dead of summer. The byelections were triggered by the resignations of five Liberals, including former premier Dalton McGuinty, long-time MPP of Ottawa South.

The scheduling of the byelections is a little suspicious -- is the government hoping to escape the lash of the voter by staging them during a time that will attract the minimum number of people?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking about the dyed-in-wool Liberal/ Conservatives/NDP supporters, the kind who would cast their ballots in the middle of a hurricane.

No, the timing of the summer byelection is aimed squarely at the balance of the electorate: the undecideds, the swing vote and, of course, the cottage country enthusiasts.

In a perfect world, every Ontarian would take it as their duty to vote in every election, be they federal, provincial or municipal.

But we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live in a perfect world, and we

only need to look at the dismal turnout for the last provincial election to prove that.

A byelection figures to attract a remarkably smaller crowd. When scheduling an election, a government should endeavour to hold it during a time period designed to attract the most people possible.

Unfortunately, this is a truism that only holds if the government actually wants people to vote.

In fact, Premier Kathleen Wynne wants to avoid an election â&#x20AC;&#x201C; byelection or general â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for as long as humanly possible.

For the few months sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in power, the fledgling premier has been bailing water for the Good Ship Liberal, cleaning up the mess left behind

by Dalton McGuinty, who resigned shortly before the government was hammered with scandals, such as the gas plant fiasco and a police investigation of the Ornge air ambulance service. Meanwhile, the electorate waits with baited and steaming breath, looking to wreak vengeance on the Liberals by cleaning house in the next general election.

While we commend the political acumen of our premier, she might want to consider simply biting the bullet and holding a general election â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not during a civic holiday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as soon as possible.

To do otherwise is just delaying the inevitable.

COLUMN

Coming soon to a corner store near you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or not

T

here was some excitement in the newspapers recently over the possibility of beer and wine being sold in corner stores in Ontario. This is always a big story whenever it reappears, as it always does.

A good guess is that it is a big story because beer and wine are important to journalists, the people who make the decisions about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big story. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not important because journalists like beer and wine more than the next fellow does. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important because journalists think it should be more important.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a self-image thing at work here.

Newspaper people have long had the reputation of being hard drinkers. For some reason they like that reputation, even though it has long ceased to be deserved. Once it certainly was, but these days, if you go out to lunch with five newspaper guys, the heavy drinker will be the one ordering Perrier while the others all have tap water.

Anyway, beer in the corner store becomes a big story, just like the ones that say wine is good for your heart. Wishful thinking is what it is and journalists are just as capable of it as anyone else.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the big story carried the headline â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sousa wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule out store

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town alcohol sales.â&#x20AC;? This is a bit of a tipoff that beer and wine in corner grocery stores isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much closer than it ever was. When a politician is asked a question and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t answer definitely one way or another, the journalistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last resort is to ask: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would you rule it out?â&#x20AC;?

Very few politicians dare to rule anything out completely, because they need to leave room to change their minds. So they say no, they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule it out, and you get a headline like that.

Charles Sousa, the finance minister of Ontario, told reporters that there are no plans to change the structure of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. His predecessor as finance minister turned down a request only a year ago to allow convenience stores to sell beer and wine. But then -- â&#x20AC;&#x153;asked repeatedly

Wednesday whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d allow convenience stores to sell booze, Sousa wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule it out.â&#x20AC;?

He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule it in either, despite being asked repeatedly, and probably for good reason. No one has come up with much in the way of justification for making the change.

Customers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suffering from the current system. In all but the most remote areas, no one is very far away from a Beer Store or an LCBO. The main impetus for the current discussion is the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convenience store chain, which says it will create jobs.

It might also create trouble, which is probably why previous Ontario governments havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ruled the idea in. It is difficult enough now to keep booze out of the hands of underage drinkers and those who have had more than enough in an evening. Putting the corner store into the picture is going to increase the difficulty.

Sure, the idea of creating jobs is nice, but the people in those jobs will have an unfair burden placed upon them. While employees for the LCBO and the Beer Store are wellpaid and well-trained to handle difficult situations, is it fair or realistic to ask the same of a convenience store employee, often working alone late at night?

If some greater good was involved, maybe that would be worth the risk, but it is difficult to see where the greater good is. Shorter distances, longer hours? Certainly Charles Sousaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s predecessors have had difficulty seeing it. They might even think that Ontario has more urgent priorities, even if wine really is good for your heart.

The only remaining question is why, given all this, Sousa is not more unequivocal on the subject. It may just be that he understands his role in the press conference games journalists play.

I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rule that out.

‘Overhaul’ includes ‘challenge coin’ Continued from page 3

In addition to this “find,” he also had, thanks to assistant deputy chief Rudy Lindia, access to old surplus equipment held by the Ottawa Fire Services. This included hose connectors, firefighter tools and the stainless steel equipment drawers. He still did not know how they would all be used in the sculpture or even if they would be used but he gathered them up. Having a selection of items was beneficial.

For his “Collapse” sculpture at the Nepean South fire station, Mr. Kinghorn collected steel items from several farms which he has incorporated into the sculpture.

Last fall, it was decided that the sculptures would not be installed until this summer. Last January, Mr. Kinghorn was at an art show in Alymer, Quebec which assistant deputy chief Rudy Lindia visited and who mentioned to him about the “challenge coin” that every firefighter has, not only in Ottawa but elsewhere as well.

Assistant deputy chief Lindia suggested that the two inch coin be incorporated in the sculptures.

But while Mr. Kinghorn pursued lots of different ideas of how to incorporate a “challenge coin” into “Overhaul,” he continued to wrestle with how to do it and keeping the work as a “very smooth sculpture.” It was about three weeks before the unveiling that Mr. Kinghorn was about to go for lunch when he noticed some

brass hose connectors on the floor of his shop.

He discovered that a challenge coin would fit in the hose connector and, suddenly, his dilemma was solved. He ended up putting three brass hose connectors on one side of the sculpture, with a coin displayed in one of them.

Mr. Kinghorn notes that these brass hose connectors not only add another colour to the sculpture but the presence of the “challenge coin” immediately identifies the sculpture’s connection to firefighting.

“It’s an iconic symbol of firefighters,” Mr. Kinghorn says about the challenge coin.

For the “Collapse” sculpture at the new Nepean South station, the challenge coin was placed in a brass wrench.

Mr. Kinghorn says that “Overhaul” is a far better sculpture with the three brass hose connectors on it, expressing satisfaction in this late addition of the connectors and the challenge coin.

He says that “Overhaul” should be around for a long time.

“It should last forever,” he says, especially since the seven foot tall sculpture is partially protected by an overhanging roof.

Mr. Kinghorn says that he is very happy with how both of his fire station sculptures turned out, adding that he had put his “heart and soul” in each one.

“I feel I have created two very beautiful sculptures,” he says.

Photography has always been in John Edkins’ life John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Photography has been a lifelong passion for John Edkins of Stittsville.

Thanks to his father, he became interested in photography as a youngster, taking pictures of his plastic models and his model trains.

As a teenager, he purchased a Pentax 35mm single lens reflex camera and developed his film in his own dark room. That’s why he finds today’s digital photography very liberating – not only that there are no smelly chemicals but that there is so much creative flexibility in today’s world of digital photography.

“I get the joy out of creating the image,” he says of his photographic work.

He uses the Photoshop program to manipulate his photos, enhancing a colour or removing a colour or colours that he does not like in the photo. It’s all done to “get an effect,” he says.

This can also involve cropping the photo correctly.

He compares his situation to that of an artist who can use any colours and literally do anything desired to create a painting. He feels that an artistic photographer like himself should be able to manipulate colours as well, especially if a scene can be made more attractive by increasing the dominance of a particular colour.

Mr. Edkins says that he does a lot of nature photograph but also likes taking photos of people as well. He even admits that he has acquired a reputation, somehow, of being known for taking pictures of dead trees. He defends himself by simply saying that he sees beauty in all nature.

And while he says that he gets a lot of his

Creek allows him to be there at just that perfect moment when the melting ice is at its best for photography.

Mr. Edkins says that he has always carried a camera around with him throughout his lifetime. He says that when he has his camera in hand, he is always looking for a possible subject to photograph.

“Something unusual or just attractive,” is what he seeks out.

36 students honoured at farewell ceremony john.curry@metroland.com

News - The grade six farewell ceremony for Holy Spirit Catholic School not only saw 36 students honoured on completing their elementary schooling but also gave a glimpse into the qualities and personality of each of the students.

This was done as a teacher read out a brief character description of the student as the student’s name was called out during the ceremony at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Wednesday, June 26 as each student received congratulations from principal Caroline Tarrant.

So, everyone learned that Abigail is a “friendly person who always has a smile on her face;” that Anne loves to perform; Evan loves facts; that Olivia loves to read; that Jessica readily helps out as a volunteer; that Lahra loves singing as well as academics; that Ryan is a “walking calculator” who also “loves a good laugh;” that Anabel not only loves sports but is a dedicated student who provides attention to detail; that Liam likes everything which has to do with science and may just become a designer of video games in the future; that Madeleine is an incredible artist whose work bring life to a page; that Michelle includes her peers in all that she does at school; that Avery mixes politeness and fairness and

may one day be a judge since he is always coming up with solutions; that Megan is “100 percent personality;” that Connor has a “crazy sense of humour:’ that Amanda may one day be starring on Broadway; that Jackson may parlay his sports skills into a sports scholarship; that Grace, a talented dancer is one who is considerate of others and their feelings; that Alexander has a “wide contagious smile;” and that Olivia enjoys dancing and cheerleading. And more, as all 36 students were praised for their individual unique talents and personalities.

The students in this year’s grade six class of 2013 at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville were Anne Akin, Abigail Barry, Olivia Boudreau, Jesse Chadder, Tristan Cherry, Lahra Daniel, Ryan Darling, Madison Fitzpatrick, Madeleine Graham, Alexander Keay, Ashley Kavanagh, Megan Kavanagh, Alex Hache, Jenna Larkin, Amanda Marsden, Ashley Matheson, Lana Mulvihill, Michelle Mulvihill, Grace Nolan, Trent Barker, Evan Barsony, Jaelynn Beard, Emma Campbell, Dawson Carley, Jessica Clarke, Selena Close, Annabel Durr, Liam Enright, Emma Houghton, Connor Hudson, Jackson McElheran, Avery McLaren, Ethan Parker, Alexander Pilon, Olivia Stanford and Claudio Violante.

In her remarks to the students at this grade six farewell ceremony,

principal Caroline Tarrant reminded the students to always dream big and have faith that God will be with them in their endeavours.

A number of individual awards were presented at this grade six farewell ceremony.

The Bert O’Connor Humanitarian Award was presented to Emma Campbell. This award is presented to

a grade six student who lives out the Gospel values and is a student who shows kindness and care to all other students.

The Female Athletics Award went to Lana Mulvihill while the Male Athletics Award went to Alexander Keay. These awards go to students who are recognized for their ability to excel in many components of the

ADVERTORIAL

With, Ottawa Valley LeafGuard you get MORE than a great gutter system you get expert installation and personal service from a local established company, who is going to be there during and after your installation.

What’s Wrong with Clogged Cutters?

Ordinary gutters capture rainwater and also collect leaves, twigs and other organic debris that can become clogged and create dams that impede the flow of water.

These clogs cause water to spill over your gutter and pool on the ground below. This can result in damage to your shrubs; lead to surface erosion; and seep into your foundation causing cracks and basement flooding. Water can also spill behind the gutter causing damage to the wood of your fascia and soffit.

If you have add-on toppers, helmets and hoods, that are attached to your roof and hang over your gutters, they are usually held in place by screws and nails hammered into your roof. Putting holes in your roof can cause leaks and may void your roof warrantees.

Take the first step in making your home maintenance free

LeafGuard is a unique system; it is custom cut and fitted to your home. It is a permanent solution, not a hood, add-on or bulky cover. LeafGuard is the only seamless, one-piece leaf protection available that has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal and comes with a lifetime workmanship warranty.

How Leafguard Works The Englert LeafGuard gutter system works on the scientific principle of Liquid Adhesion. The gutter’s patented design allows rainwater to travel down and around its curved hood and into the gutter, while deflecting leaves and debris.

LeafGuard gutters are rollformed from one continuous piece of aluminum that is 14 inches wide and cut to custom lengths that fit your home. The metal itself is 20% thicker than the industry standard for gutters.

LeafGuard features a ScratchGuard® paint finish, with a limited life time warranty and is guaranteed not to chip, peel or crack.

YOUR DONATION COUNTS!

Please take a moment and reflect on what our community would be like without our hospital. Our health care team has one main focus—YOU—the patient. In the last year the health care team has touched the lives of countless people and their families with their compassion, skill and expertise. Every gift you give impacts the quality of care we are able to provide.

Your support purchases essential patient care equipment that is not funded by the Ministry of Health—equipment we can’t afford to be without. We count on you to help us provide quality and patient-focused care. This year the Foundation has a $341,700 commitment to the Hospital for Patient Equipment Care needs alone. Thank you—YOUR donation counts!

… Monthly Giving

Monthly giving is a tremendous way to ensure your gift works harder. It’s the most effective way to provide steady, on-going funds to help the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital. Not only is a monthly debit amount a more manageable way to give a generous gift—it saves administrative costs in envelopes and postage too.

Wild Parsnip Wild parsnip is a very common plant that shows up in abandoned yards, waste places, meadows, old fields, roadsides and railway embankments and in Ottawa it’s popping up more and more. In the Ottawa area, it is very common in roadside ditches - particularly in rural areas (though it’s creeping into suburban areas and trails a bit more each year). For one example, this plant is in abundance along Roger Stevens Drive, between Highway 416 and Fourth Line Road.

The flower of Wild Parsnip (a.k.a., Poison Parsnip) has some resemblance to Queen Anne’s lace, though its flower is yellow instead of white. It may seem pretty, but stay well away from this “flower”. Poison Parsnip is a member of the same family of plants as Giant Hogweed and can cause similar injuries.

Touching any part of the plant - or coming into contact with its oil - can lead to phytophotodermatitis and JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND even blindness if the oil gets in your eyes.

How to avoid getting burned by poison parsnip The best way to avoid injury from poison parsnip is to stay well away from it. Avoid any and all contact with it, particularly in sunlight. However, if you need to work near it or plan to try and remove it, here are precautions you should take: 1. Dress in long sleeves, long pants and wear gloves.

2. If your clothes come into contact with poison parsnip, avoid brushing against them when changing and washing them.

3. Keep animals, and particularly pets, away from the plant. If they come into contact, do not touch or pet them before thoroughly washing the plant’s sap off of them.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At the annual installation night of the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street on Friday, June 28, one of the Clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original pins from its formation in 1964 was given to new member Helen Culbert.

THE WILDLIFE STRATEGY On July 4th Planning and Growth Development staff presented the proposed Wildlife Strategy report to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC). This meeting was open to the public to provide their input and comments regarding the draft report. Eleven delegates, representing areas from across the city, were received during the meeting specifically on this issue. The comments received were both in support and against the draft report. The common concerns listed were that the draft Wildlife Strategy did not receive enough public consultation during the review process and that there needs to be more detail provided from a strategic perspective as to how residents can deal with wildlife conflict going forward.

Staff presenting, along with ARAC committee members at the table, expressed that there was sufficient public consultation in the process as the opportunity for the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s input was posted on the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s web site. This information was delivered via Public Service Announcements and through media coverage.

Over the last two years Councillorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices have received thousands of emails regarding the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wildlife Strategy. Therefore the public was well informed of the opportunity to engage in the public input process.

The draft Wildlife Strategy report was passed on consent at the conclusion of staffsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comment period during the ARAC meeting and will be presented to City Council at the Council meeting on July 17th.

The public is welcome to continue to provide input and comments on the report prior to the Council meeting on July 17th. Should there be any recommendations that may be considered to be added to the report, a motion to do so would be put forward to include any modifications.

The Wildlife Strategy has been the subject of lobbying efforts critical of the strategy and its recommendations for the past three years.

Over 20,000 hours thanks to volunteers Jessica Cunha

Jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News - Volunteers are vital for the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre.

In the 2012-2013 year, volunteers donated more than 20,000 hours to help with programs delivered to residents in Stittsville/ Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton.

Volunteers work in a variety of different capacities at the Western Ottawa Communtiy Resource Centre.

Some of the organizations programs include community support and counseling services, a Violence Against Women program, a shelter for abused women and children, services for children, youth and

families and an Early Years Centre.

The Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Meals-on-Wheels program delivered more than 24,000 meals in the past year.

Volunteers provided more than 5,300 drives for seniors and adults with disabilities.

The Early Years Centre had more than 25,400 visits by parents and children.

A total of 861 counselling sessions were provided through the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Violence Against Women program. A total of 4,418 clients were seen by the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general counseling team.

More than 140 women and children received shelter through the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chrysalis House, a safe and secure shelter in

Kanata. It serves to protect a woman and her children from violence and abuse. The only downside of this is that 504 women and children in this situation had to be turned away in the past year due to a lack of space at the facility.

The Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bullying Prevention Program reached more than 5,500 students in the past year.

This anti-bullying initiative was established 13 years ago to positively impact children and youth through a school-based program.

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre is always looking for more volunteers. For more information, visit wocrc.ca .

Bluegrass music fills Gaia Java coffee shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - When Paul Jay of the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop introduced the Dusty Strings quartet at the shop’s music evening last Friday, he referred to this first-ever appearance by a bluegrass group at these music evenings as being the “Stittsville Bluegrass Festival.”

And that’s exactly what it turned out to be – an evening at which bluegrass music reigned with the lyrics and that distinctive bluegrass sound leaving no doubt that this was traditional bluegrass music at its finest.

Dusty Strings is usually comprised of six performers but for this Gaia Java performance, only four could make it – Vic Chartrand on mandolin and sometimes banjo; Mavis Mason on bass and vocals; Bernie Mason on guitar and vocals; and Don Hill on Dobro resonator guitar that is so great at recreating traditional bluegrass sounds. Among those missing was Peter Dawson, a well known area fiddler.

But this four-member contingent of Dusty Strings did not disappoint as its songs touched on a number of the songs of the legends of bluegrass music while also delivering tunes featuring the simple lyrics of bluegrass along with distinctive bluegrass melodies.

So, you heard “Love and Wealth” with its

lyrics like “You will never know the pain that I felt the day you left.”

This is a tune often associated with the Louvin Brothers, an American country music duo comprised of Ira and Charlie Louvin who helped popularize close harmony, a genre of country music. Members of the Grand Ole Opry, the Louvin Brothers are in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

This was followed soon after by “Blue Love,” a Hank Williams Sr. song with Mavis Mason doing the vocals, as she did with a number of the songs during the evening. “I’ve got a blue love in my heart,” she sang.

And Dusty Strings wound up its first set with the classic “My Dear Old Southern Home,” a song done by American singer (of bluegrass, folk, country, blues and gospel music) Doc Watson in 1991, again with Mavis Mason doing the vocals which included a good bit of yodeling – a bluegrass tradition. Doc Watson, by the way, was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Honour in 2000 and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Bluegrass music has great lyrics – simple but oh so memorable. This was evidenced when the Dusty Strings played that traditional bluegrass tune “Left Over Biscuits.” How does it go? “Left over biscuits/ Left over ham/ Left

over gravy in an old frying pan/ Left over coffee/ Left over tea/ Now I’m all alone ‘cause she done left over me.” Classic bluegrass – you have to love it!

“Ashes of Love,” sung by Kitty Wells and Buck Owens among others, featured instrumental leads by Don Hill on his dobro guitar and Vic Chartrand on his mandolin. But again, it was the lyrics, oh so simple and easy to remember, that make this song: “Ashes of Love/ Cold as ice/You made the debt/ I’ll pay the price.”

A couple of banjo tunes highlighted the second set by the Dusty Strings, with Vic Chartrand putting away his mandolin in favour of the louder and livelier banjo. It’s bluegrass music with an attitude.

And so it went throughout the performance – continuous bluegrass music. “I Wouldn’t Change You If I Could,” a hit for Ricky Skaggs, was a hit at this performance. So was “Dim Lights, Thick Smoke and Loud, Loud Music,” a longtime song done by artists as varied as Vern Gosdin, New Riders of the Purple Sage and Porter Wagoner.

And Dusty Strings dusted off the classic “Gold Watch and Chain,” done not only by Maybelle Carter but also more recently by Emmylou Harris and Ricky Skaggs. You just have to love its lyrics: “Oh, I’ll pass you my gold

watch and chain, love/ And I’ll pawn you my gold wedding ring/I will pawn you this heart in my bosom/Only say that you’ll love me again.”

Dusty Strings went back in bluegrass time in performing “Waiting For a Train,” a 1928 song done by the iconic Jimmie Rodgers, an American country singer who died in 1933 but who was known for his rhythmic yodeling. It is not surprising that Mavis Mason finished this song with a flourish of yodeling. Jimmy Rodgers was also known as “The Singing Brakeman” and was one of the first inductees into the Country Music Hall of Fame when it was created in 1961.

Encouraged for an encore, Dusty Strings played an instrumental version of “Be Sure It’s True When You Say I Love You,” recorded by such singers as John Denver but also recorded way back in 1936 by Ruth Etting, an American singing star of the 1920’s and 1930’s.

The Gaia Java Coffee Shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville holds free music evenings every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. The only advice is to arrive early for best seating.

This coming Friday, July 12th, Gretchen Martin will be performing, delivering contemporary piano and vocal hits.

Here comes Emerald Ash Borer john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s in the city of Ottawa and will be in your local neighbourhood soon if it is not already there.

It’s the Emerald Ash Borer, a highly destructive insect pest of ash trees that often kills the tree.

“It’s definitely in a neighbourhood near you now,” Jason Pollard, who is with the city of Ottawa’s Forestry Services, told the executive of the Richmond Village Association at a recent meeting.

He said that the Emerald Ash Borer, which first arrived in Canada and the United States in 2002 from its native eastern Asia home, cannot currently be eradicated.

All that can be done is to manage the infestation and try to ensure that there is the least impact possible on the city’s tree cover.

And have no doubt about it – ash trees make up a lot of the city of Ottawa’s tree cover, in both the urban and rural areas. It is estimated that 20 to 25 percent of the trees in the city of Ottawa are ash trees. These trees are found along city streets and in city parks.

Ash trees are also found in rural areas along fence rows and roads.

The city’s strategy to date includes five initiatives: informing homeowners of what they can do about the problem; injecting a pesticide into affected trees on city property but this is time consuming, costly and must be done annually; actively planting new trees so that the city will continue to have forest cover in the future, featuring a diversity of tree species; removal of trees where necessary and managing the movement of wood within the city; and working with other agencies such as the Conservation Authorities to establish best practices with regard to Emerald Ash Borer infestation.

The Emerald Ash Borer is a metallic green wood-boring beetle about 1 cm to 1.5 cm in length that attacks all native species of ash trees, typically killing them in two to three years. Its larvae bore tunnels under the bark to feed on inner bark tissue. The tunnels cut the flow of nutrients and water to tree leaves, causing the tree to die.

The beetle spends most of its life as larvae underneath the tree bark.

This presents a challenge because the insect is hard to discover unless a tree is very heavily infested.

There is a pesticide which the city does inject into some affected trees on city property. Small holes are drilled in the base of the tree and the pesticide is injected, with the tree distributing the pesticide up the tree in its flow of water and nutrients.

However, this is a labour intensive procedure.

The city is anxious to implement tree planting in rural villages like Richmond because it is felt that the Emerald Ash Borer is moving out into the city’s rural areas.

The city of Ottawa has produced a booklet for homeowners and others who want to manage the Emerald Ash Borer.

The booklet is designed to help a person determine if there are ash

trees on a property and if they have been infested by the Emerald Ash Borer.

It is important for homeowners to know about the management of the Emerald Ash Borer since the city only looks after infected ash trees on city property. But there are many ash trees on private property.

And no ash is immune from the Emerald Ash Borer.

“If it is an ash, it (the Emerald Ash Borer) will attack it,” Mr. Pollard said.

He advised that a homeowner with

an ash tree in the yard should consider a pesticide injection, and the sooner the better.

He said that waiting may be too late as the pesticide is less effective as a tree is more infested with the Emerald Ash Borer.

The June to August period is probably the best time to inject a tree with the pesticide.

Mr. Pollard said that it is not expected that the Emerald Ash Borer will go away but he expressed the hope that with the preventative strategies implemented, at some point

of adult beetle feeding on leaves, long shoots growing from the trunk or branches, vertical cracks in the trunk, small D-shaped emergence holes and S-shaped tunnels under the bark filled with fine sawdust.

Woodpeckers feeding on Emerald Ash Borer larvae may also be seen on a tree.

In the early stages of infestation, it is difficult to detect whether a tree has the Emerald Ash Borer or not.

The visible symptoms may not show up for two or three years after the tree has been initially infested.

The Emerald Ash Borer attacks and kills all species of ash except for the so-called Mountain Ash which is not a true ash tree.

0530.R0012131975

John Curry

there may be a balance reached so that not all ash trees end up dying.

He said that he hopes that the pesticide injections do not have to go on forever but he admitted that no one knows at this point in time. The pesticide has only been around since 2008.

Ash trees, which can grow to 30 metres in height, have a compound leaf 13 to 30 centimeters in length.

A compound leaf has more than one leaflet on its stalk base.

Ash trees have five to nine leaflets per leaf depending on the species.

Signs of Emerald Ash Borer infestation include yellowing foliage, a thinning crown, dead branches, diminished density of leaves, evidence

Quilters helping Alberta flood victims John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Area quilters are coming to the aid of flood victims in Alberta.

Quilters associated with four local quilting groups – the Poole Creek Quilters of Stittsville, the Almonte Quilters Guild, the Kanata Quilters Guild and the Riverbend Quilters – are working together to produce quilts that are going to be sent to Alberta where they will be distributed to those in need by quilting contacts there.

Depending on whether similar contacts can be made in the LacMegantic area of Quebec’s Eastern Townships, quilts might also be sent to help out there as well.

This all goes to quilting’s ageless tradition of helping others. Whether it was in years past when a farm community would quilt to help out a burned out family or providing quilts for tsunami victims or supplying quilts to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario or to cancer patients, the quilting community has a record of helping others.

“A quilt covers you in love,” says Lori Ryan of Stittsville, who with fellow quilter Leslie Whitby of the Almonte and Kanata quilters groups has been organizing and promoting this project to providing quilts to Alberta’s flood victims.

She calls it a gesture of friendship

and reaching out to fellow Canadians.

A great help in organizing, making contacts and promoting this initiative has been the existence of the internet. Emails and blogs have been used and, combined with the network of quilters which exists, the campaign is rolling.

At last Monday’s gathering of the Poole Creek Quilters in Stittsville, a total of 48 blocks were provided by the quilters to be used in making slab quilts for this project. At the morning session, one quilt was created from these blocks and another one started.

More quilts are going to be made during this week.

Already a dozen quilts have been shipped west but the shipping with the costs involved is a challenge that the quilters are trying to overcome.

Approaches are going to be made to Ottawa-area companies which have offices in Calgary to see if they can facilitate shipment of the quilts. In addition, donations are being accepted to help fund the shopping.

It is acknowledged that those in Alberta who have lost their homes to flooding may not yet be ready for quilts. That’s why the project is going to go on for some time, with regular assessments made.

There is no target set for the number of quilts to be sent to Alberta.

Right now, the organizers say that they will accept anything that any-

one will give them. This could be so-called “orphan blocks,” quilt tops

or even finished quilts of any size or type including lap quilts.

In addition, financial donations to help with shipping costs will be most welcome.

More information about this ini-

tiative is available by contacting Leslie Whitby, one of the organizers, at lwhitby@compmore.net. In addition, there will be regular updates available on the Almonte Quilters Guild website.

Myer’s Volkswagen Shows West is Best

501-2500 Palladium Dr. Kanata

VW owners have always been a loyal group, sticking with their brand when others around them may have thought their choices were quirky and eccentric. But now it seems the whole automotive consumer world is in love with VW’s brand of quirkiness. Car buyers have found that underneath the skin, VW is all about bringing the latest available technology to serve in terms of performance, efficiency, safety, and comfort.

And while auto critics may have, in the past, been excused for their humorous views on VW’s styling (think Beetle and Microbus), not even the harshest critic has an unkind word on the styling of today’s Volkswagens. Ottawa’s Myers Group of retail facilities believes that loyal customers deserve top treatment and that’s what’s in store for them at the new Myers Volkswagen.

Located in the heart of Ottawa’s auto retail sector; the Palladium Autopark with its own 417 interchange, Myers VW will welcome shoppers into a bright ten-car showroom allowing them to learn all about Volkswagen’s advantages in a hands-on manner surrounded by the vehicles they’re interested in. Service customers will be treated to a climate

controlled drive-in reception centre leading to a 16 bay technology department designed to take care of every maintenance and repair need. While parking on the old location was definitely a challenge, the new facility will have plenty of accessible spaces making a quick stop or an extended visit a breeze. Being located right off Highway 417, means easy connections to any area in the Ottawa/Gatineau region, perfect for service and sales customers alike.

What won’t change at Myers Volkswagen is the friendly open style of service that their customers have come to enjoy and benefit from. The entire staff is making the move west along with vehicles, parts, equipment and furniture. General Manager Trevor King credits a very dedicated team with keeping customers satisfied and everything running smoothly even in the midst of this major move. He witnesses on a daily basis their efforts in making sure every client gets the most out of their experience, whether it’s a new or pre-owned vehicle purchase, or a quick oil change, or a major repair.

And of course Myers VW customers love having access to the longest service hours in the city, and that definitely won’t change. The service and parts departments are open from 6 am to 8 pm Monday through Thursday, 6 am to 6 pm on Fridays and 6 am to 5 pm on Saturdays. The sales showroom is open from9 am to 9 pm Monday through Thursday, 9 am to 6 pm on Fridays and 9 am to 5 pm on Saturdays.

Volkswagen’s grand vision is to become the world’s largest automaker by 2018 and they are well on their way. They just have to look at their successful retailers for inspiration and experience. Myers Volkswagen has been number one in the greater Ottawa region since they opened in 2010. Call them at 613 592 8484 for sales or 613 596 8689 for service or log onto www.myersvw.com to find out how you can be number one on your roads in a Myers Volkswagen.

As Volkswagen’s global popularity continues to grow, it’s causing increased traffic and sales at all Canadian dealerships.

Myer’s Volkswagen in Ottawa’s West has chosen to take a decidedly customer-centered approach in resolving the growth issues caused by this increased attention when they open their doors to a new expanded facility at 501-2500 Palladium Drive in the Palladium Auto Park this Saturday, June 22nd. Since taking over the busy Bells Corners retail outlet (formerly known as Citiwest VW) in 2010, the Myers Automotive Group has applied their unique philosophy of ‘customer-first’ thinking in every aspect of the VW store.

The results are amazing. Sales volumes rose by 70% and the customer satisfaction rates experienced similar dramatic increases.

Sharks showcase stunting, dancing Special to the News

0307.R0011949739

News - The Sharks were out and about this past spring.

That’s the Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa cheerleaders to which we are referring.

The Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa spent the spring performing demonstrations at various elementary schools in the Stittsville and Kanata areas.

The Sharks showcased their stunting and dance routines and even involved the students in their stunts to show them that they too can cheer like the Sharks do.

The Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa latest demonstration took place at the Family Fun Fair at Westwind Public School in Stittsville on Thursday, June 20.

Although the summer is here, Cheer Sport Sharks will continue to practice throughout the summer on a family friendly practice schedule. This is a perfect time to try out cheerleading with Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa. Everyone is welcome to come out and try it at the Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa gym at 119 Iber Road in Stittsville.

Information about the upcoming cheerleading season can be found at www. cheersportsharks.com .

Church sign vandalized Special to the News

CLAIRE MCCAUGHAN

Isabella Riem strikes a pose as she is held up by three of her fellow Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa cheerleaders, from left, Jenna Dodunski, Casey Campbell and Kaitlyn McCaughan at the recent Family Fun Fair at Westwind Public School in Stittsville.

News – Vandalism has damaged a Stittsville United Church sign.

The self-standing sign, located at the northwest corner of Stittsville Main Street and Fernbank Road, suffered two large holes in the glass on both of its sides.

Probable cause are two pieces of asphalt which were found laying near the sign amid the remnants of glass that were scattered over the ground.

The asphalt was probably thrown at the sign, causing the damage.

The damage was spotted last Sun-

day morning by Rev. Grant Dillenbeck as he arrived for the church’s morning worship service.

Ever since letters on the sign were inappropriately re-arranged a while go, Rev. Dillenbeck always checks out the sign as he travels to the church on a Sunday morning.

Last Sunday morning, he immediately noticed the damaged sign and further investigation revealed the damage on both sides of the sign as the thrown objects penetrated the glass first on one side of the sign and then on the second side, causing dam-

age to both sides.

The church is now going to have the sign repaired and re-tooled so that it is covered by an unbreakable surface so that such damage cannot happen again.

Stittsville United Church is located on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street.

The sign which is used to advertize the church’s worship services and special events sits just inside the wrought iron fence of the Stittsville United Church cemetery which is located adjacent to the church.

Stittsville 56ers split pair of GOFL games Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville 56ers split a pair of games in a Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) doubleheader in Manotick on Wednesday, July 3.

The 56ers beat the Barrhaven Broadway Blues 2-0 in the opening game but then lost 9-3 to the Manotick Taylor’s Blitz in the second half of the twin-bill.

This brought the 56ers record this season to four wins and seven losses, good for third place in the four-team South Division of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League. The Kars Aces lead the South Division with a record of four wins, four losses and two ties.

The Micksburg Twins lead the North division with a record of eight wins and only two losses.

In the 2-0 win over the Barrhaven Broadway Blues, Scott Herriot scored both of the Stittsville runs. In the first inning, he moved all around the bases and scored without a hit being struck. He walked,

stole second, moved to third on a field’s choice and then scored on a wild pitch. He then slammed a solo home run in the sixth inning for the 56’ers second run of the game.

Adam Smith picked up the mound victory for the 56ers in this game, pitching into the sixth inning before needing relief help from Dan Konkle.

Smith only gave up one hit in his five and a third innings of work on the mound, striking out three.

The 56ers did not fare so well in their second game of the evening, taking on the Manotick Taylor’s Blitz. Once again the 56ers scored in the first inning and once again it was Scott Herriot. He singled and then eventually scored on a Scott Jessiman hit.

But the Blitz scored three runs in the bottom of the first inning to take a 3-1 lead.

The 56ers fought back, scoring a run in the second inning thanks to a double by Ben Gigliotti and singles by Darren Ladouceur and Tyler Nystedt which made it 3-2.

The 56ers tied it up in the third thanks to hits by Dan Jessiman and Scott Jessiman and a sacrifice bunt by Dan Konkle.

But in the fifth, the Blitz bats came alive with the Manotick squad scoring four runs to take a 7-3 lead in the game.

In the sixth inning, the Blitz added another two runs to cement the victory with a 9-3 score.

Tyler Nystedt had a bit game at bat for the 56ers, punching out three singles in four at-bats.

Dan Konkle took the pitching loss for the 56ers. He was relieved by Trevor Scott.

Playing for the Stittsville 56ers this season are Mike Barrett, Ryan Bond, Dan Bradley, John Craig, Darren Featherstone, Ben Gigliotti, Scott Herriot, Kyle Jamieson, Dan Jessiman, Scott Jessiman, Darren Ladouceur, Tyler Nystedt, Scott Parsons, Trevor Scott and Adam Smith.

The 56ers play their home games at the ball diamond at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville.

acquisition of property in Kanata that will eventually become the site of a residential hospice.

Hospice Care Ottawa, the new organization that takes over hospice services in the Ottawa area from Friends of Hospice Ottawa and the Hospice at May Court, has acquired the former Trinity Presbyterian Church on McCurdy Drive in Kanata. A capital campaign now underway will hopefully allow construction of a ten bed residential hospice on the site by the year 2016.

In her remarks at the ceremony marking the acquisition

of the McCurdy Drive property, Kathleen Sterling said that having access to hospice palliative care when a loved one is dying is important.

Her husband Lennox passed away from prostate cancer at the age of 51. Although it was his wish to die at home, that proved impossible due to the need for around-the-clock care. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt fortunate, that when the time did come, May Court had a bed available for him,â&#x20AC;? said Ms. Sterling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The compassionate care he received, as well as the kids and I, left a lasting impression with me.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately for the kids and I, we lost a loving, wonderful husband and father,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Sterling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We miss him ev-

ery day.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a devastating time in our lives but to have our loved one cared for â&#x20AC;Ś in his final days gave us great comfort,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were allowed to be his wife and children without the stress of his daily care.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;But most importantly, Lennox was allowed to die with dignity,â&#x20AC;? she added.

Hospice Care Ottawa plans to add a ten bed residential hospice as well as host a day hospice at the McCurdy Drive site. The capital campaign that is now underway is to raise the six million dollars needed for the construction of the residential hospice.

Among those at the ceremony were city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

Nick Durocher

Connor Riddell

News - Carleton Place singer Jordan McIntosh’s career is on the rise. And there is a Stittsville connection to it. That’s because two of his band members are from Stittsville – Nick Durocher, 17, and Connor Riddell, 16.

The band performed at Bluesfest in Ottawa last Saturday afternoon and now are looking forward to an appearance at the three-day Boots and Hearts Music Festival in Bowmanville at the beginning of August. This is being billed as the largest country music festival of its kind ever to be held in Canada with thousands of country music fans expected to attend to hear more than 30 bands from superstars to emerg-

ing artists.

Jordan McIntosh and his band have been selected to be an “emerging artist” at this year’s Boots and Hearts Music Festival. Just where he will perform on the program is being determined by online voting. The voting can be done at https://review.wizehive.com/voting/republiclive2013. The more online votes which Jordan McIntosh receives, the better performance slot he and his band will receive at the festival.

Among country music names performing at this Boots and Hearts Music Festival are Rascal Flatts, Miranda Lambert, Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, the Band Perry, Dean Brody, Washboard Hank, Emerson Drive and Joe Diffie.

What killed the Duke?

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - If you want to know a little more about the life and character of the Duke of Richmond, then reading an article

by Hugh Whitney in the spring 2013 issue of Ontario History, a publication of the Ontario Historical Society, should be on your “must do” list.

Entitled “What Evil Felled The Duke?” with the sub-title “A Re-Examination of the Death of the 4th Duke of Richmond,” the 25 page article not only gives an alternative cause of the Duke’s death at Richmond in Aug. 1819 but also tells much about the life of the Duke.

This includes his illegitimate birth, his military career including being at the Battle of Waterloo, two duels and his postings in Ireland and Brussels prior to his appointment as Commander-in-Chief of British North America in 1818.

The article looks at his last fateful tour of inspection which ended with his death just outside the newly-established Richmond military settlement and calls into question the accuracy of the official accounts of his death.

And what does author Whitney conclude might have been the cause of his death other than the often-cited onset of rabies from an earlier bite by a fox?

In the conclusion to his article, Mr. Whitney asks: “So, indeed, we may well ask what evil felled the Duke? Was it the biter or the liquor?”

Yes, author Whitney points to the Duke’s possible alcoholism as the real cause of his death.

“There is plenty of reason to consider alcohol abuse as the cause of the Duke’s death,” Mr. Whitney writes (page 71).

He notes that this Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond, was known for living a life of

excess with regard to drinking and had indeed tried stopping on occasion.

He also claims that the Duke’s health and family finances were both adversely impacted by this alcohol addiction.

Mr. Whitney’s article gives a well researched glimpse into the life of the Duke of Richmond and whether you agree with his conclusion or not, it does provide an interesting outline of this person after whom Richmond is named.

The article can be found in Ontario History, published by the Ontario Historical Society, and more specifically in Vol. CV, No. 1, Spring 2013.

This issue of Ontario History can be found in the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s papers and files at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

It cannot be taken out of the library but it can be read on site.

Tori Carswell Memorial Tournament John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - It’s been a dozen years since seven year old Tori Carswell captivated the hearts of Stittsville residents not only with her winning, infectious smile but with her courageous battle against cancer.

The community of Stittsville rallied around her during the summer and fall of 2001, raising over $100,000 to help with costs related to her medical treatment and associated travel costs.

But even Tori’s bright courage could not overcome this cancer and she passed away on Jan. 16, 2004 after enjoying a wonderful Christmas with her family on Christmas 2003.

Tori’s memory has been kept alive with an annual fundraising golf tournament which this year’s marks its tenth anniversary. But it has done more than help us remember Tori; the tournament has also raised thousands to help other children and their families as they battle their cancer.

This year’s tenth annual Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament will be held on Saturday, Aug. 24 at the Canadian Golf and Country Club, the site where it has been held every year.

All proceeds from the event will go to Tori’s Helping Hand, the program established in 2005 which bears Tori’s name and which is part of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs Inc. The program provides funds to palliative care oncology children and their families as well as to fami-

lies whose children require a transplant. The funds for palliative care children helps the families provided much-needed comfort in their children’s last days, perhaps in the form of a comfortable chair, a spa visit or something else that is special.

Anyone who would like to participate in this year’s golf tournament should email Kim or Paul Carswell at kcarswell@rogers.com or contact them at 613-836-2183.

There are also different levels of sponsorship available for corporate sponsors and volunteers to help out on that day or beforehand are always welcome.

Last year’s Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament, held at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville on Saturday, Aug. 25, raised $32,418 for Tori’s Helping Hand thanks to the generosity of the golfers and sponsors involved.

CTV Ottawa personality Michael O’Byrne was MC for the event and used his auctioneering skills to good advantage at the tournament’s auction.

Winning team on the golf course last year was the foursome of Bryce Carswell, Jonny Parker, Brendon McCrann and Jamie Milne.

Tori Carswell was born on Canada Day, July 1st, in 1994. It was when she was 5 ½ years old that she began having back and leg pains. She eventually was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma just before her sixth birthday.

She underwent many rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, a stem cell transplant and radiation but within a

year, the cancer had returned.

She was given only a minute chance of surviving but the family and Tori did not give up. This was when the community of Stittsville rallied around the family and in the summer and fall of 2001 raised over $100,000 to assist the family with medical and travel costs since treatment involved going out of Canada.

Tori underwent more chemotherapy and also travelled to New York City for an experimental type of treatment but to no avail.

More chemotherapy and additional therapeutic treatment could not stop the progression of the disease.

She was given weeks to live.

Then came that miraculous Christmas of 2003 when Tori felt healthy and could do many of the things that children normally do. The family had a wonderful Christmas season.

In January 2004, Tori’s health deteriorated and she passed away on Jan. 16, 2004.

But her infectious smile and passion for life continues on through Tori’s Helping Hand and this annual fundraising golf tournament that bears her name.

The first tournament was held in 2004, raising $18,000 that year, with the funds going to the Neuroblastoma Research Fund and the Children’s Wish Foundation. In 2005, Tori’s Helping Hand was established and since then the proceeds from the annual tournament have been directed to Tori’s Helping Hand. In 2005, the tournament raised $27,500 and since 2006, the tournament has annually raised over $30,000 each year.

Horse show coming up at Westar Farms Special to the News

News - The horses will be jumping at Westar Farms again on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21.

This silver and bronze “Horse Lovers Weekend” horse show follows on the heels i.e. hooves of the silver and bronze horse show that was held at Westar Farms on the weekend of June 15/16, launching the summer horse show season there. The season wraps up with a bronze show “Jump Into Fall” on Saturday, Sept. 14.

Spectators are most welcome to attend this upcoming horse show on Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21 at Westar Farms and watch the action in the various rings at the site.

Westar Farms, owned and operated by Jeff and Bridget McKessock, is a full service equestrian training and boarding facility serving the area.

It has not only a 70 foot by 160 foot indoor arena with an upstairs heated viewing lounge but also outside riding rings, show rings and trails. Hunters show in one of three grass show rings while jumpers perform in the grass jumper ring.

This year Westar Farms is marking its 25th anniversary year in operation.

The first horse show hosted by Westar Farms took place in 1988 at what was then Four Island Farms (now Castle Peak Farms) on Franktown Road west of Dwyer Hill Road. This was because Westar Farms was still under construction.

In 1995, a second horse show was added to the Westar Farms schedule and in 2002, a third show was added. The show grounds themselves at Westar Farms have developed over the years as well.

The shows happen around the farm’s long laneway, lined with maple trees planted the year after the farm opened for business. They were eight feet tall then but now many have reached more than 30 feet in height and provide welcome shade on hot show days.

In 2009, the main jumper ring at Westar Farms was expanded and new permanent competition and training obstacles were added. In recent years, “feature” classes not offered at

BUY 1 GET 1

other shows as well as extra prize money have attracted competitors to Westar Farms and its shows.

The first year that the $1,000 jumper derby was offered, more than 50 competitors entered that class alone.

Westar Farms continues to offer a new different class in its shows almost every year, something which adds to the fun and excitement of the events.

News - St. Stephen Catholic School said farewell to 62 grade six students at its annual school leaving ceremony on Wednesday, June 26.

Held at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Stittsville, the ceremony saw each of the students receive a school leaving certificate and congratulations from principal Bob Santos and viceprincipal Barry Oliver.

Mr. Santos hugged some students, patted some on the back, exchange a high five with one, stood on his tippytoes to try to be as tall as one student and posed for photos with each student. You could tell that he really believed what he had told the assembled students and their parents, grandparents and siblings at the ceremony, namely that this group of grade six students were some of the best students that he had seen in a long time in his career as an educator.

In his remarks directed to the grade six students, the principal told them that the lessons that they have learned in elementary school will carry them a long way in life. He noted how they had all grown spiritually, academically, physically and emotionally in their elementary schooling.

“It’s takes a community to raise a child,” he said, reminding them that they had experienced this at St. Stephen.

Mr. Santos urged the students to use their talents in the future to make the world a more peaceful place. He urged them to work hard, to support their family and friends and cherish their faith. He said that this would carry them a long way in life.

He advised the grade six students to share their feelings with their friends, parents and others, saying that “you need to talk” when things get difficult.

He also urged the students to get

involved in activities in high school, noting that it makes high school more fun when involved in sports, drama or other activities.

Mr. Santos reminded the students that “your reputation” i.e. what people say about you is precious as it will go with them wherever they are.

So, whatever you do in life, make sure that it’s of the highest caliber, he said.

He also advised the students to “pray,” describing it as “talking to God.” Make sure that you pray in the future, he noted.

While every one of the 62 grade six students received a certificate at this school leaving ceremony, the occasion was also used for the presentation of a number of awards recognizing individual achievement and accomplishments.

The Kiwanis Citizenship Award, presented by the Kiwanis Club of Goulbourn to a student who has best exemplified the qualities of good citizenship, was presented to Austin Saghbini.

The Creative Arts Award went to Angela Goguen while the Athletic Award was presented to Tori Ellis and Ryan Richardson.

The Father Steve Amesse Christian Excellence Award was presented to Marco Faranda.

The French Award was presented to Reese Dolan, Maria Scarfo and Sophia Matricardi.

The Director of Education Award which is presented to a grade six student who best exemplifies the Gospel Values in his or her daily life at the school was presented to Meghan Poulin.

The Academic Award was presented to Aidan Cullen, Sara Martorana and Alexa Hadley.

The leaving ceremony also included the presentation of a “Celebrating Excellence” award to Peyton Burgoyne.

Even their maneuvering him into hiding in a laundry basket full of ďŹ lthy, smelly clothes awaiting laundering which is then taken away and dumped into a river does not discourage the amorous Falstaff. He simply believes that the wives are â&#x20AC;&#x153;playing hard to getâ&#x20AC;? and he continues his pursuit of them.

With touches of inspiration drawn from slapstick, clown, puppetry and physical theatre styles, this production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merry Wives of Windsorâ&#x20AC;? by â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Foolsâ&#x20AC;? promises to have the audience enjoying the merriest of times.

The show is presented in a different park each night, giving residents throughout Ottawa and area an accessible outdoor Shakespeare experience.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay-what-you-canâ&#x20AC;? donations are collected at the end of the performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Fools,â&#x20AC;? a professional Shakespeare company, was established in 1990 by a group of students in the University of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theatre department, with the troupe modeling itself after the rogue Elizabethan players who once entertained audiences out of doors as well as at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Globe Theatre.

The annual Torchlight Shakespeare series began in 2003.

The aim of â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Foolsâ&#x20AC;? is to make Shakespeare theatre accessible and fun for audiences of all ages.

Productions by â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Foolsâ&#x20AC;? combine the physical theatre techniques of clown, mask and puppetry with classical text. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merry Wives of Windsorâ&#x20AC;? is directed

by Catriona Leger and features actors Simon Bradshaw, John Doucet, Melanie Karin, Matthew John Lundvall, Geoff McBride and Katie Ryerson. Set and costume design are by Vanessa Imeson. Erin Finn is the stage manager.

The play is considered suitable for those of all ages.

Gold status for Munster Elementary School Special to the News

News - This was a golden year for Munster Elementary School.

It was one of only three Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools that achieved gold status this past school year from the Ontario EcoSchools program.

To earn this highest level of certification for the EcoSchools program, Munster Elementary School in Munster received top marks in the areas of curriculum, environmental steward-

ship, energy conservation, waste minimization, school ground greening, teamwork and leadership. This earned the school the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gold status.

Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education and certification program for schools that helps these school communities develop both ecological literacy and environmental practices to become environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the ecological footprint of schools.

Schools may apply to be certified through an annual certification process which assesses and recognizes accomplishments awarding points in each of the six key areas of achievement, namely teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste maximization, school ground greening, curriculum and environmental stewardship.

The program was created in 2002 by a consortium of education stakeholders to address environmental issues in the education system.

The consortium became the Ontario EcoSchools steering committee which meets regularly to provide oversight and direction for the program.

The vision of the program is that all students and staff in Ontario schools will be engaged in environmental education and environmentally responsible actions in order to develop the knowledge, skills, perspectives and practices that they need to be active, environmentally responsible citizens.

New principal for school in Munster Special to the News

News - Munster Elementary School will have a new principal in September.

Principal Iain Slingerland, who has been principal at Munster Elementary School for the past four years, is moving to another Ottawa Carleton District School Board school.

Taking over from Mr. Slingerland will be Mrs. Rebecca Shields who has been principal at North Gower-Marlborough Public School in North Gower.

Munster Elementary School has also achieved Gold Level certification from Ontario EcoSchools, a program that annually assesses and recognizes environmental accom-

plishments at participating schools.

Last year the school achieved a Silver Level certification while before that, in its first year of participation in the program, Munster Elementary School obtained a Bronze Level certification.

The program is designed to help schools improvement environmental practices and to help students become more responsible citizens of the planet.

Members of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EcoTeam participate in recycling and composting programs, waste and energy audits and school yard clean ups.

They also help promote initiatives such as litterless lunch

days.

Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The sauerkraut barrel was just about empty in the summer kitchen. It had served us well since the early fall when the whole family spent many evenings shredding cabbage to fill it to the brim.

The salt pork barrel was empty too and had been thoroughly washed and set out on the back stoop to dry in the sun. The smallest of the three barrels had long since given up the last pickled herring. Even the vegetables in the root cellar were getting scarce.

Now what were we to do, I wondered?

Would we starve, just like the starving Armenians Mother talked about all the time? It would be many weeks before we would have carrots and potatoes from the garden. Now I had something else to worry about.

Back then, it seemed, I could find many issues to send me into a state of anxiousness.

Mother said I was born with furrows in my brow, whatever that meant. Worrying if we had enough food to keep us alive was constantly on my mind this time of year.

I took my concerns to my sister Audrey.

She always seemed to have an answer for everything. At first she laughed out loud when I asked her if we were about to starve since all

Going hungry was always a big fear when our food barrels went empty

the barrels that once held our daily sustenance were empty. Then she saw that I was sincerely worried and she took me to the old swing in the grape arbour to give me a long talk on how I was worried for nothing.

At that very moment, she pointed out, wasn’t our bake table full of freshly baked bread? Weren’t there enough loaves there to last us most of the week when Mother would again bake up another batch? So there would always be sandwiches, always bread pudding for dessert.

And in the smoke house, wasn’t there slabs of back-bacon, roasts of pork and sausage links, enough to feed half of Renfrew County?

“Stop worrying, Mary,” she said. “We won’t starve.”

Of course, my wiser sister Audrey was quite right. Soon there were sprigs of new lettuce showing in the garden, enough to take to the dinner table and for lettuce sandwiches, which I loved with a passion. Fresh lettuce with a spattering of sugar and vinegar between two slices of buttered freshly baked bread -- now that was a treat!

Then Audrey took me down into the dugout under the house. I had told her the last time I

had gone down with the dish pan to bring up vegetables for supper, I had to dig away in the sand before I found a carrot.

Audrey pointed to the shelves down there that for generations held preserves and pickles.

There on those shelves were enough glass jars, full of beans in brine, onions hanging in mesh bags and sealer after sealer of preserved raspberries, crab apples and wild blueberries.

“Now do you think we are starving?” Audrey asked. Of course my much older and much wiser sister was right. Just because the barrels in the kitchen were empty there was still food aplenty to last us until the garden was ready. I could put my worries aside. I recalled what my father always said when he was discussing the issues of the day: “It’s a poor farmer indeed, who can’t keep food on the table to feed his family.” Although not my favourite, we had as much milk to drink as we wanted. There was always a big jug of fresh milk in the ice box and newly churned butter in glass bowls. Our hen house full of hens provided us with enough eggs for our own use with lots left over for Mother to peddle in Renfrew every Saturday morning. We could expect a chicken dinner every Sunday. Mother, long before we would

We’ll be at the finish line, where we will show support to the riders, and to recognize them for their hard work.”

set out for church, would have stuffed at least two fat birds and put them in the Findlay Oval oven. If there weren’t enough vegetables in the sand bin to tuck around the chickens, we made do with bowls of pickled beans or canned tomatoes from the cellar. Although Father never considered it a meal, Mother had what we all called her “everything goes into it” pot of soup simmering just about constantly on the back of the stove. Hulls of vegetables, anything left over from the dinner table, scraps of meat, leftover gravy, whatever she could find went into the soup-pot. Father, most nights, when he wasn’t too tired from dawn to dusk working in the fields, would sit down just before he fell into bed and with a couple pieces of homemade bread sponging up the soup, ate heartily of what he called “a wee bite before turning in.”

No, on thinking about it, I worried for nothing. We wouldn’t starve on the farm just because the barrels were empty. Food was all around us, and there was always Briscoe’s General Store, where we could stop for maple cookies, a couple slices of bologna and the basics like flour, tea and sugar. All we had to do was ask for it and tell Mr. Briscoe, “just put it on our bill, please.”

Roast chicken for two makes for easy meal Foodland Ontario

Lifestyle - Just because you cook for one or two, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the joy of a roast chicken dinner is just too much effort.

The roasting times have been slashed in half, given choices of white or dark, baked essential veggies beside the chicken and seasoned all with the herbs that are adorned in a classic stuffing. And, oh yes, you even wind up with crispy skin.

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Cooking time: 45 minutes.

Serves two.

Ingredients * 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter (at room temperature) * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each dried sage leaves and salt (approximately) * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) ground savoury * 2 bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or four thighs * 1 sweet potato, peeled * 10 ml (2 tsp) canola oil * 5 ml (1 tsp) dried rosemary or 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely chopped fresh rosemary * 5 ml (1 tsp) dried leaf thyme leaves or 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh thyme leaves * 1 onion, peeled * 1 sweet red pepper

Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

Preparation In a small bowl, stir together the butter, sage, salt and savoury. Lift one edge of chicken skin and slide a finger between the skin and flesh across most of the breast, leaving some skin edges attached. Rub most of the herbed butter onto the flesh.

Then rub the remaining herbed butter over the skin. Sprinkle the skin with more sage and salt. Place the chicken at one end of large oiled rimmed baking sheet. Roast in a 200 C (400 F) oven for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut the potato into quarters and then into 2.5centimetre (one-inch) pieces.

Place in a bowl and sprinkle with oil, rosemary, thyme and generous pinch of salt. Toss the potato to coat. Slice the onion into six wedges and add to the bowl. Gently turn the onion to coat, keeping it intact. Cut the pepper into quarters.

Baste the chicken with juices from the pan and spread the vegetables on the empty side of the pan and roast for 15 minutes. Baste again with the pan juices and turn the vegetables.

Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are tender.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; There is talk on Parliament Hill of Gordon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future both in cabinet and in electoral politics, but he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t commenting on any of it.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to shuffle his cabinet during the summer recess in a bid to rejuvenate the party and bolster slumping poll numbers.

Among those said to be on the way out is Minister of State and Chief Government Whip Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. One reason offered is that he may not seek re-election; therefore the timing is ripe to bring greater exposure to another caucus member.

The Carleton-Mississippi Mills Member of Parliament was first elected in 2004, so with more than eight years under his belt he qualifies for the lucrative MP pension plan. He is also 74 years old.

But according to one long-time supporter, Ottawa city councillor Allan Hubley, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t step down because of his age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably in better shape than most 50 year olds,â&#x20AC;? Hubley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been elected thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been talk of him resigning. As far as I know, Gordon has every intention of running again in 2015.â&#x20AC;?

Hubley is well-connected in Conservative party circles. As a long-time, high-

profile resident of the riding, he would be the logical successor as party candidate in the next election.

While Hubley wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t outright deny the possibility of running federally, he said the timing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t great and he intends to run again municipally. The municipal election is in 2014; the federal in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure that day is close,â&#x20AC;? Hubley said, adding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll listen to what the residents tell me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m there to serve them.â&#x20AC;?

A second reason Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor may find himself out of cabinet has to do with party control. Known as the most secretive and rigorously-controlled government in recent history, backbencher discipline is doled out by the party whip. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor is believed to have overstepped his bounds on more than one occasion. For Harper to quell a party revolt, he may have to cut Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor loose.

Karen McCrimmon is the Liberal candidate in the next federal election locally.

The recent Liberal leadership candidate has heard nothing of Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation and was surprised to hear Hubleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name associated with the party. She often says she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak negatively about opponents, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t profess to be the sitting MPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done the job to the best of his abilities, and done what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thought is right,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with him.

The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society will be holding its first meeting of the fall on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road

But he has always worked hard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough job being the whip.â&#x20AC;?

She wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say the Conservative party has curtailed free speech among members. But as for openness and transparency when it comes to spending, she said the party could come much closer to the promise it made while in opposition.

As far as meeting Hubley in an election, McCrimmon indicated that her skills at the national and international level would make up for his advantages at the constituency. And that her partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consensus-building approach is better than the Conservativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; divide and conquer.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor is on record defending Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on the Wright-Duffy scandal. He believed a few weeks ago that the prime minister didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anything about the $90,000 cheque to Senator Mike Duffy. Many observers say when chief of staff Nigel Wright and a few others in the prime ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office discussed handing the money over - as was revealed days ago by RCMP - it is unlikely Harper wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have known.

If Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor does resign, a third reason may have to do with avoiding the mounting scandals the party finds itself embroiled in.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor was given an opportunity to respond without a deadline, but declined.
