No funds for SVA

WALK IN THE PARK Stittsville resident gears up for fundraiser to battle the little known disease of Scleroderma.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

This year’s Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville will take place without any financial support from Waste Management, operators of the Carp Road landfill site.

Last year the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), which organizes the Canada Day celebrations, received $5,000 from Waste Management to help with expenses related to the event. This year there will be nothing forthcoming.

SVA president Marilyn Jenkins announced at the SVA executive meeting on Thursday, May 12 that she had received a phone call from Waste Management that there would be no Canada Day donation this year because of the SVA’s opposition to Waste Management’s proposed expansion of

the Carp Road landfill site.

Waste Management facility manager Ross Wallace confirmed last Monday that the firm was not providing financial support to the SVA for Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations this year.

He did admit that with activity at the existing landfill site slowing down and soon to be ended, Waste Management has to be a little more careful about what organizations and events it supports in the community. But having said that, he went on to say that Waste Management was aware of what the SVA has said about its proposal to add more landfill capacity at the Carp Road site and he said that in good conscience, the firm found it hard to support the SVA when it feels that there has been a lack of balance in its approach to the proposal.

Idyllic, marvellous, spectacular - What a day!

AT CRAFT FAIR Travis Lyndon of Stittsville checks out a magnetic bracelet at the craft fair hosted by the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the Stittsville branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Saturday, May 14.

A hopefully warm, sunny late May afternoon. Idyllic. The convenient, beautiful setting of Village Square Park in the heart of Stittsville. Marvellous. A showcase of the creative works of both local artists and authors. Spectacular.

All together on one afternoon in the sixth annual “Artists and Authors in the Park” event hosted by the Stittsville Village Association. Virtually priceless.

That’s why everyone is encouraged to attend this annual celebration of the creative works of local artists and authors, being held on Sunday, May 29 from noon until 5 p.m. Admission is free.

But there will be more than just the presence of autographed books, paint-

ings, drawings, photographs, ceramic pieces and their creators. There will be a performance by the Stittsville Concert Band, a BBQ offered by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, readings by exhibiting authors, children’s storytime thanks to the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library, a puppet show, crafts for children and a youth poetry contest.

Children’s writer Mary Anne Marston will entertain younger literary fans with a reading and activity from her recent book, “Charlie’s Socks.”

Even city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson may drop in and read a favourite story or excerpt to those present.

Right now there are more than 50 artists and authors signed up for the event and there is still time for more to register and to participate in the event. Any artists or authors interested in exhibiting their work at this

event should contact Metin Akgun at aysemetin@rogers.com or at 613-8365350; or Tanya Hein at tanya.hein@ travnet.org or at 613-686-1842; or Theresa Qadri at theresaq@rogers.com or at 613-620-6245.

The event started out as a small idea six years ago and now has grown to be a major cultural event in Stittsville and the area.

“Word of mouth about “Artists and Authors in the Park” has been spreading,” says Theresa Qadri.

“It began as an event of interest mostly to Stittsville but the talented artists and authors who come each year continue to attract more visitors and participants now also from surrounding areas,” she adds.

Several artists and writers’ organizations are all supporting the Stittsville Village Association in the holding of this event.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

She’s on student council. She’s a cross country runner, a hockey player and touch football enthusiast. She teaches downhill skiing to youngsters. She’s going to be part of a Sacred Heart High School student mission trip to the Dominican Republic next year. She’s going to be a camp counselor this summer.

“I have a few things on my plate,” is how Sacred Heart grade 11 student Rebecca Zentner-Barrett puts it but there is one more thing that she does that may set her apart even more than her active agenda – she rock climbs.

And she is serious about it.

She and her father try to go every summer to the Adirondacks on a rock climbing expedition.

For her 16th birthday, her father, a longtime rock climber, built a practice climbing wall for her in the garage.

“I love rock climbing,” Rebecca says, recalling the first time that her father took her out back when she was in about grade five or six and how she ended the excursion with the biggest smile on her face.

She says that rock climbing is

definitely challenging but that a person does not have to have huge muscles to do it. Granted, a person has to be physically fit but there is much more to it than strength. There is a lot of thinking involved, figuring out where the place your feet and how to proceed on the climb.

She says that a climber does not think about falling but rather about the next move to be made on the climb.

It’s not that dangerous if you know what you are doing, Rebecca says, noting that a climber is prevented from falling by a rope that is anchored.

There are books on rock climbing that explain the various moves and techniques that can be used.

While admitting that rock climbing is not a very common sport for many, she says that she does it because it is fun and she wants to improve so that she can do harder and harder climbs.

She also acknowledges that it is a sport that a person can do throughout a lifetime.

Rebecca is serving on the student council at Sacred Heart this year for the first time. She believes that Sacred Heart has the potential to be a great school community but found that even

she was becoming like many others, just sitting around and complaining. So she decided to she would try to improve things and signed on for student council.

She feels that student council this year has started to make a difference in school spirit and she is happy to be part of it.

“It makes me feel I am trying to do something to get the school going,” she says.

She does not yet know if she will continue with her student council involvement next year since it will be her graduating year and she already is committed to the school’s Dominican Republic trip. She knows that she will have to budget her time carefully through the year.

She says that the large size of Sacred Heart makes it difficult for all students to know about the various events that are happening. But she remains convinced that the school has the potential to be a great school.

Rebecca is particularly looking forward to taking part in the school’s Dominican Republic trip next year. She has an aunt who worked in Ghana for a while and she looks forward to the day when she might also be able to help out in a developing

country in a similar fashion.

Rebecca was a member of the school’s cross country running team this year. She also plays touch football in a Kanata girls’ league and also plays girls’ hockey. She also loves to go skating with her family on the Rideau Canal.

She also is a skier, both downhill and cross country, and a snowboarder. She teaches downhill skiing to youngsters at Camp Fortune.

Last year she was a counselor in training at St. Brigid’s Camp and this summer she will be working as a counselor there.

“I love being with kids,” Rebecca says. She does not foresee working with children as a job in the future but she finds that at present it is more exciting working with youngsters than having a part-time job working in a store.

She enjoyed taking a business course in grade ten and feels that her future may rest in the world of business but in the context of helping build sustainability in developing countries, making a difference in the lives of their citizens.

“I just want to help people,” Rebecca says. “I love doing that.”

She is an admitted lover of country music, an interest that has developed in recent years.

She will be attending the Capital City Hoedown this summer and is a fan of such country performers as the country music duo Sugarland and the trio Rascal Flatts.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

Dear Stittsville Residents,

Iber Street Fire Station My office has been receiving a recurring question from constituents about the new Iber Street fire station and how the service and tax bracket affects them. The 2010 urban fire service levy for the average homeowner amounted to $271 vs $127 for the average rural fire service levy. Since a significant portion of the rural area assessment was tied to the Stittsville area, a shift of some of these properties will result not only in an impact of the properties in the affected area but also on the remainder of the “rural” properties left to finance the rural service area. While the 2011 taxes have yet to be established, for 2010 the equivalent impact would have seen an increase of $144 for the properties benefitting from a higher urban service level and an increase of approximately $10 for the average property in the remainder of the rural fire service area. The new tax bill will also reflect that new cost.

Ball diamonds set to open Significant rain has struck the city once again and city crews have been working diligently to perform the necessary spring maintenance, ball diamonds across the city were officially opened on Wednesday, May 11. Residents are reminded that due to this rain, they may wish to call 3-11 confirm the condition of the ball diamond near them.

For more information: Public inquiries: 3-1-1

From page 1 “We feel they are not looking at it in a balanced way,” Mr. Wallace said with regard to the SVA’s position adamantly opposing the proposed new landfill at the site.

He admitted that it is the SVA’s right to take such a stand but said that it is similarly Waste Management’s right not to support SVA-hosted events like the Canada Day celebrations.

He did, though, say that Waste Management will continue with its financial support of community events and organizations, carrying on the firm’s tradition in this regard. He said that there are many organizations out there in the community looking for donations which Waste Management will now be considering. He did not confirm but said that he believed that Waste Management will be continuing its support of the concert in the park performances that occur every August at Village Square Park in Stittsville.

Mrs. Jenkins, the SVA president, speaking at the SVA meeting on May 12, said that she expressed to Waste Management her disappointment that Waste Management could not separate the two matters (the landfill expansion and the Canada Day celebrations) and support the community celebration of Canada Day. Waste Management has been advertized as a major sponsor of the celebrations in the past due to their donations.

“It’s such a misreading of what we do,”

SVA vice-president Doug Sutherland said in reaction to the Waste Management action. “It’s very petty and it’s reading the whole thing wrong.”

SVA director Theresa Qadri emphasized that the landfill opposition and the Canada Day celebrations are two separate things that should not be linked. She noted that Waste Management claims to support the betterment of the community and yet the firm turns around and refuses to donate to the SVA for Canada Day. SVA president Jenkins agreed that it is Waste Management’s money and the firm’s prerogative to do what it likes with it.

“I like the word petty,” she said, though.

The SVA executive agreed to issue a press release about Waste Management’s refusal to donate to this year’s Canada Day celebrations and publicize the need for more donors so that this funding shortfall can be overcome. The SVA executive also agreed that a letter to the editor about the matter should be sent to local media outlets.

The tone of the press release and letter to the editor are to express disappointment with the matter but are not to be overly adversarial in tone. This came after SVA directors Tanya Hein and Phil Sweetnam urged restraint in the tone of any such press release and letter to the editor, an approach which was eventually agreed to by the executive.

Canada Day in Stittsville

JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Stittsville’s Canada Day celebrations this year will be held on the grounds of Sacred Heart High School.

This is because construction of the second ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex is now underway. The construction site now exists where the recent Canada Day celebrations have taken place. As a result, the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has received permission to use Sacred Heart High School but this has brought with it some challenges, such as an appropriate hydro source.

Hydro Ottawa is being approached to determine if the utility will provide an appropriate power source for the day.

There will be entertainment on stage as in the past and some midway rides. There will also be the fireworks display and other attractions depending on the funding that is raised by the SVA for the event.

Last year about $27,000 was raised through corporate donations and various grants such as one from Heritage Canada. The SVA is still about $10,000 short of this funding level for this year event, a situation aggravated by the recent

decision by Waste Management not to provide a donation for this year’s event. Last year Waste Management contributed $5,000 which equates to the cost of the fireworks at the event.

“We’re sitting not too bad,” SVA director and Canada Day organizer Theresa Qadri told the SVA executive at its May 12th meeting. She said that the funds are needed to rent midway rides and make the event a fantastic day for the community. She said that more attractions will be added to make the event even better for people if sufficient money is raised.

The Stittsville Food Bank is on the hunt for a new chair.

At last Monday’s annual general meeting, current chair Robin Derrick announced that he would be stepping down from the position soon, with the September meeting of the Board of Directors probably being his last one.

He explained that concerns about his health have brought him to this decision to step

down, saying that his health is not what he would like it to be, as he is making visits to doctors and the hospital dealing with health concerns.

“I have to do this,” he said about stepping down. “My health comes first.”

He promised that he would provide what help that he can for whoever replaces him as chair and he urged the Board of Directors to think about possible candidates for the position.

The Stittsville Food Bank gets helped in a lot of ways. And three of these ways were honoured through the presentation of Volunteer Recognition Award plaques prior to the Food Bank’s annual general meeting in Stittsville last Monday evening.

One way to support the Food Bank is to raise and donate John Curry photo money for it. Another way is to Stittsville Food Bank past president Lyn Arsenault, donate needed items. And yet left, presents a gift of appreciation to Margaret another way is to provide a supMelling, right, who has stepped down as the Food port service that allows the Food Bank to operate efficiently and Bank’s treasurer. with a human touch.

A Volunteer Recognition Award plaque was presented to Scotiabank in Stittsville, with Your Vacuum Cleaner Headquarters manager Paul Stead on hand www.vacshack.ca to accept it on behalf of the branch.

Over the past three years, Scotiabank in Stittsville has raised almost $20,000 for the Stittsville Food Bank with its Christmas We service all Central Vacuum Systems gift basket raffle draw.

The branch puts together a giant Christmas gift basket, con391463 taining about $1,000 worth of Hobin & Main Street, Stittsville merchandise, ranging from golf equipment to tools to wine. TickCan’t find a spot ets are sold in the branch with for that New Purchase? the winning ticket holder getting the gift basket.

Reduce the clutter! Sell it in the Classifieds Scotiabank has a program to encourage its staff to participate in the community and to give back.

With this program, Scotiabank matches funds raised by the local staff. This program has enabled the Stittsville branch to raise for the Stittsville Food Bank nearly $20,000 over the past three years

when this Christmas gift basket raffle has been held.

Dr. Ian Pragnell, a Stittsville resident who is a dentist, has for a number of years, probably close to ten, provided toothbrushes in large numbers and also toothpaste to the Stittsville Food Bank. They are put in Christmas hampers and also are handed out throughout the year.

He has been honoured for his generosity with the presentation of a Volunteer Recognition Award plaque from the Food Bank.

Another supporter of the Stittsville Food Bank who was also honoured with a Volunteer Recognition Award plaque was John Bottriell of Stittsville who was not able to attend the presentation last Monday.

A noted artist, he has produced “Thank You” cards for use by the Stittsville Food Bank for the last five to six years. These cards are used by the Food Bank to thank its supporters such as those who make donations or otherwise help out the Food Bank.

Besides honouring these three outstanding supporters of the Food Bank, two members of the executive who are stepping down from their positions were also honoured last Monday.

Margaret Melling was given a token of appreciation for her work as the Food Bank treasurer.

Wayne Beaten is replacing her as the Food Bank’s treasurer.

Sandy Sparks, the Food Bank’s director of food drives, is also stepping down from the Board of Directors. Helene Rivest will be replacing her as the director of food drives.

From page 6

Past chair Lyn Arsenault, who was at the annual general meeting, said that she would think about resuming as chair but only to complete the current year.

Mr. Derrick said that he would continue to do what he could to help the Food Bank in the future but said that he could not promise any level of commitment.

In his president’s report at the annual general meeting, Mr. Derrick noted that the number of clients assisted by the Food Bank in 2010 went down a little bit from the year before. On the other hand, financial donations to the Food Bank went up substantially in 2010.

Mr. Derrick praised the Food Bank’s volunteers which number about 50. He said that it is the volunteers who do all of the work involved with food drives, collecting food from the three collections bins around the community and other tasks.

“I don’t know what we would do without them,” he said about the volunteers.

“They are very key.”

Client services director Theresa Qadri told those at the annual general meeting that there was a decrease in 2010 in the number of Christmas hampers provided by the Food Bank but despite the decrease

and because of larger family sizes of the clients, more people were served, namely 224 people, up from the 163 people served the year before.

It was reported that there were at least 22 major food drives in the community in support of the Food Bank in 2010, along with other smaller ones.

Now serving on the Board of Directors following this annual general meeting are Robin Derrick as chair; Janice LeBlanc as vice-chair; Wayne Beaten as treasurer, replacing Margaret Melling who has stepped down; Helen Gunther as secretary; Theresa Qadri as director of client services; Margaret Stone as director of inventory; Helene Rivest as director of food drives, replacing Sandy Sparkes who has stepped down after five years on the Board; Steve Adam as director of publicity; Shelley Brown as director of holiday programs; and Barbara Cordukes and Pat Warford as directors at large. Lyn Arsenault is the immediate past president.

In addition, Robin Tilgner, who is coordinator of the “bin pickers” who collect the food at the drop off bins in Stittsville, has been asked to attend Board meetings.

She cannot be added as a director at this point in time unless there is a change in the Food Bank’s constitution to permit the addition of another director.

Here comes plant, bake, garage and book sale SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Looking for a plant or flower for your garden this year? Or would you love to have a mouth watering home-baked goody? Or are you a garage sale lover? Or would you like a mystery book or two for upcoming summer reading?

Well, the place to be is the plant, bake, garage and mystery book sale that is happening at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville this coming

Saturday, May 21 from 9 a.m. to noon.

The event will be taking place in the church’s parking lot on Stittsville Main Street as well as in the Isabel Hodgins Room in the church facility.

And not only will you be able to get the plant or flower, baked good, garage sale item or mystery book that you want but also you will be supporting a couple of worthy enterprises.

planting at the church itself, helping to make the grounds more beautiful, something from which everyone in the village benefits as it improves the beauty of the overall village.

All proceeds from the bake, garage and mystery book sales will be going to help the Cornerstone Women’s Shelter as well as other local and Ottawa charities. What a great way to help out these most worthy causes!

EDITORIAL

Here comes the sun, we hope Floods in Manitoba not only makes your heart go out to those affected there but also makes the current bleak weather conditions here in the Ottawa area more bearable. Sure, we seem to have rain just about every day but at least we have no massive and tragic flooding conditions like those in Manitoba.

But you have to admit that this has been one of the wettest and sun-less springs in recent years.

Sure, moisture is great for the lawns and shrubs and trees but when is enough enough.

But this coming weekend is the long holiday weekend of May and that traditionally marks the beginning of the gardening season and the real beginning of predictably nice weather. Let’s hope that that is the case this year. We deserve a long stretch

of sunny, warm weather.

The long weekend has two great plant sales coming up this Saturday, May 21 – one at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville and another at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond. These plus the garden centres plus the annual spring plant sale of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society the next Saturday, May 28 should be necessary visits for local garden and flower enthusiasts.

For those who may have somehow gotten all of their yard cleanup and early gardening done already, a great place to consider spending some time this weekend is the 2011 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition being held at the Richmond Curling Club at the Richmond

fairgrounds from this Friday, May 20 through to this Sunday, May 22. Fiddle and stepdancing will both be highlighted and if you want to enjoy a good time with some invigorating entertainment, mark it down on your calendar and plan to attend.

It will get your toes a-tapping, that’s for sure.

Of course, many will be heading off this coming weekend to open up a family cottage. Many others will be off to the golf course. Our farming neighbours will probably be out in the fields if the weather is nice.

And, really, isn’t that the key to all of this – nice weather. No rain. Lots of sun. Lots of blue sky. Lots of warmth. These conditions will make everything ideal. So, let’s all hope for a glorious long holiday weekend.

The Canadian quest: anything for 40 percent off Musings about our national character go on all the time and are intensified during a federal election. What sort of people are Canadians?

After the federal election, experts draw conclusions that might be correct, at least for a while. For example, we now learn that Quebecers are leftleaning federalists. Who knew?

And what will they be four years from now? Meanwhile, somebody writes in the daily newspaper about being sick of the Group of Seven. Many Canadians thought the painters of the Group of Seven saw Canada in a typically Canadian way.

Now others think not. We are not about jackpines and sloping rocks on Georgian Bay. At least, not any more.

What are we about? It is difficult to keep track. Are we Starbucks or Tim Hortons, hockey or soccer, North American or British or multicultural?

Are we still orderly and polite as opposed to raucous and freedom-loving? People used to

CHARLES GORDON think that, but they should have a look at some of the road rage around here. Particularly during the construction season.

So, where to look for the national character? Well, it just so happens that the season for a splendid display of the Canadian identity is upon us.

That would be the season of the garage sale. Signs sprout on Saturday morning corners like maple bushes. Packs of vehicles creep around the early morning streets like contestants in the world’s slowest scavenger hunt.

The reader of these signs, the inhabitants of these vehicles are Canadians, demonstrating one of their national characteristics — the love of a bargain.

The bargain is found at the end of someone’s driveway. It is a totally unnecessary thing in

many instances. So Canadians pay $3 for this thing, put it in the trunk and drive slowly off in search of another driveway with totally unnecessary things on display. Another vehicle immediately occupies the space they vacated.

This is a game we play every spring. For every Canadian who decides to donate his excess stuff to charity or school bazaars or church rummage sales, there is another who decides to sell it. In many cases the seller doesn’t need the money. And in many cases, the buyer either doesn’t need what is on sale or could afford to buy something new (thereby helping to keep the economy moving), but can’t resist a bargain.

Let’s face it, getting stuff cheap is a hobby for many Canadians. You’ve met them.

When you admire their new table, they tell you how they got it for 40-per-cent off. When they describe the trip they just took all they talk about is what a deal they got on the room and

the souvenirs they bought at half-price.

Here is a big part of our national identity: Canadians are frugal. Let’s say “frugal” rather than “cheap.” Our frugality means that we drive across town, burning up expensive gas, in search of the gas station where it is a fraction of a cent less expensive. Our frugality also means, unfortunately, that locally owned businesses perish in great numbers because multinationally owned businesses sell stuff cheaper and we can’t resist a bargain.

If you wanted to draw a public policy conclusion from this,

You might also conclude that Canadians would favour the creation of a government agency, Garage Sale Canada, to facilitate the spread of garage sales and create uniform standards for the pricing of slightly used light bulbs, exercise videotapes and three-legged lawn chairs.

Granted, creating such an agency might marginally increase the size of government, but hey, our national character has to be worth something.

her curling rink, made sure that the students were exposed to this terminology and practice.

After a relay race involving running through hoops and sweeping with a curling broom as yells of “Hurry hard” rang through the gymnasium, the students got to try out the sport with the wheeled rocks and the “house” that Ms. Mattie provided.

First, they learned some of the terminology associated with curling such as “button” (the centre of the house), “guard” (a rock protecting another), “draw” (a rock that is meant to stop in the house) and “takeout” (a rock that removes another, opposing rock from the house).

Students, playing in teams, then played a couple of games, with each student having the opportunity to deliver several rocks, either as guards, draws or takeouts.

“Hurry, hurry hard!”

This familiar curling term, heard on every televised game as curlers urge on the efforts of their teammates, rang out in the gymnasium at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville recently as the Capital One Rocks and Rings program took over the space, giving students an exposure to the vocabulary, strategy and, most importantly, fun of curling.

Class by class visited with Robin Mattie, a curler herself, who visits various schools in the area to provide an introduction to the sport to students.

Of course, at the schools, there is no ice but a gymnasium floor. However, she brings along curling rocks and the so-called “house,” the target of circles that determines the scoring in the

sport.

The rocks used by the students in this introduction to the sport are not the 44 pound granite rocks used by curlers in the real game on ice but rather are red or blue coloured disclike “rocks” which move on wheels and which glide easily across a gymnasium floor.

The students were showed a curling broom and were told how sweeping a rock down the ice not only cleans the ice surface but allows the rock to travel farther by making the ice more slippery – like rubbing your hands together, Ms. Mattie told the students.

The friction of the broom on the ice creates heat which makes the ice more slippery, allowing the rock to travel farther.

With sweeping comes the shouting, the familiar “Hurry, hurry hard,” and Ms. Mattie, a self-professed “yeller” on

In Rideau-Goulbourn, we are blessed with strong communities, exciting community events, and well over a dozen community associations.

Rideau Township and Goulbourn Township are two of the most historic townships in Eastern Ontario full of tradition, heritage and community spirit. Today, I’d like to tell you about a little known community organization that continues that tradition and plays a big role in a core service that runs daily through Richmond and Munster; the Richmond/ Munster Transit Committee.

In the 1980’s and 90’s, a transit committee was formed in the former Goulbourn Township. Dormant for years thereafter, the transit committee was re-established by current riders of the Rural 283 and former Councillor Glenn Brooks. The committee is chaired by Richmond resident John Sleeth, an individual who cares deeply about his community and the efficiency and future of transit in that same community.

Mr. Sleeth wraps up every email with this statement: “Remember, this committee will only work with meaningful participation from several passengers. Thanks for volunteering.” This really sums up the minicommunity that exists on the 283.

The 283 runs four routes in the morning and in the evening, three of them starting and ending in Munster. This route runs at 78% capacity.

The goal of this committee is to provide a collective voice when dealing with OC Transpo and they’ve been effective. Most importantly, the group has been able to ensure for a faster ride by eliminating request stops through a major portion of the transitway. Since December, the committee has discussed the route path and the potential for adjusting it in order to increase ridership. We had already been discussing this potential change prior to the announcement of the Route Optimization Program but through working with OC Transpo, we averted any reduction in the service or any alteration. If the riders want change in the route path, it is actually in their hands. OC Transpo will listen and I will continuously work with this committee to achieve their goals.

The next step for the committee is to encourage participation and increase ridership. Essentially, we need to know what your thoughts are as a rider and if you aren’t a rider, why not? I have posted on www.rideaugoulbourn.ca a survey composed by the Richmond/Munster Transit Committee. This survey is aimed at gaining valuable information from riders and non-riders alike. This is your community and your bus route. I encourage all of you to go online and respond. The more information we have from the community, the better service we can provide.

Please have your responses completed by May 29th at midnight. I look forward to your participation. Again, visit www.rideaugoulbourn.ca to complete the Richmond/ Munster Transit Survey. If you have any questions regarding the committee, please contact John Sleeth at sleeth@storm.ca or myself at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2491.

Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma

JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

They’ll be walking in the park to help those suffering from the little known disease Scleroderma which most definitely is no walk in the park for those impacted.

And while the third annual “Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma” at Park Lac Leamy in Gatineau is raising funds and awareness for Scleroderma Research and Education, organizers are encouraging all those affected by any of the so-called S.A.R.D.S. (Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases) group of illnesses to consider taking part. The more awareness that there is for these diseases will help in the battle against all of them.

Karen Nielsen of Stittsville, who founded the Walk in the Park for Scleroderma in Ottawa and is a chief organizer this year, knows all about the impact that Scleroderma has on those affected because she herself is a patient.

She was diagnosed with diffuse scleroderma six years ago.

Looking for a way to bring the families, patients and others affected

by Scleroderma in the Ottawa area together for socializing, fundraising and creating more awareness of the disease, Karen and her siblings started the “Walk in the Park for Scleroderma” three years ago now.

The event was first held at Vincent Massey Park but last year the National Capital Commission offered the use of Lac Leamy. A visit to this park in Gatineau, which features a walking path going around the small picturesque lake, complete with a small beach and play structure for youngsters, made for an easy decision on the relocation.

This “Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma,” which takes place on Saturday, June 11 this year,

consists of a leisurely five or one kilometer walk, followed by a barbeque and the presentation of prizes for participants.

Karen hopes that this year’s walk and BBQ will raise over $12,000.

“It’s amazing that this event was able to draw so much support and awareness last year, with over $10,000 raised!,” says Karen. “We hope to surpass that by 20 percent this year.”

The Walk in the Park and BBQ for Scleroderma will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday, June 11 at Parc Lac Leamy, followed by the BBQ at 12 noon. Registration will begin at 10 a.m. that day. All funds raised will go to support Scleroderma research and education.

The walk this year is sponsored by the Scleroderma Society of Ontario and the Ottawa Scleroderma Support Group.

Registration and pledge sheets are available by contacting Karen Nielsen at 613-795-9570 or via email at knielsen0@gmail.com.

Registration can also be done online through the Running Room at www. runningroom.com.

This Ottawa/Gatineau walk is one of three taking place in the province.

Besides this Ottawa/ Gatineau event, London is holding its second annual walk this year while Hamilton will be undertaking its 12th annual.

The walk is held in June since that is scleroderma awareness month. The hope is that other cities all across Canada will eventually join in with a walk of their own. Corporate sponsorship is being pursued.

Scleroderma has been around for a long time and strikes every age, sex and ethnic background. However, over 80 percent of patients are females between the ages of 25 and 55. It is estimated that there are as many as 40,000 cases of scleroderma in Canada.

Nonetheless, the disease is

Karen Nielsen relatively unknown to the general population.

Scleroderma belongs to a group of illnesses called S.A.R.D.S. (Systemic Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases). Other illnesses in this group include lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and sjogrens syndrome. These diseases have a lot of symptoms in common, especially that they are all autoimmune, meaning that the body’s own immune cells attack healthy tissue.

There are many symptoms related to scleroderma but the predominant ones are the over production of collagen which causes the hardening of the skin and soft issues found in the esophagus and tendons, arthritis and muscle weakness. Scleroderma can also affect the kidneys, heart, lungs and the gastrointestinal tract.

Generally, a diagnosis of scleroderma is life altering.

To date, no one knows how the disease starts and there is no cure. It is not hereditary or contagious.

Medication may occasionally help to manage some of the symptoms.

Spring fair at Waldorf School JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Avery To of Stittsville remembers the spring fairs and Christmas fairs held at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville.

After all, he took all of his elementary schooling there, graduating from grade eight two years ago.

Now a grade 10 student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, Avery has not forgotten his elementary school. That is why you could find him staffing the ticket table at last Sunday’s annual spring fair at the school, dispensing the tickets that were needed to participate in the various activities that could be found throughout the school on this special day. Of course, the lure of chalking up some community service hours to help in his current high school career was also a consideration for Avery but returning as an alumni to help out trumped this but why not kill two birds with one stone, as it were.

In any case, Avery was there, as were

many others – those who were looking after the various displays and exhibits, ranging from books to brooms and everything in between, such as the Scouting program and “3 little monkeys,” a Bank Street firm that deals in a variety of items relevant to youngsters such as baby strollers and carriers, baby hats and shoes, cloth diapers, handmade toys and uniquely-designed wooden Waldorf doll houses.

There were also youngsters who enjoyed the fish pond, the outside games with hoops and more, face painting, pitch ‘n toss and other activities such as those found in the “Sense Garden” room where the aroma of fresh hay tantalized the senses.

And what would an event like this spring fair or any gathering here at the Waldorf school or elsewhere in the community be without a refreshment area.

The school’s assembly room was turned into an appealing luncheon room, with a lunch and other goodies available – a

comfortable oasis where parents and others could gather while youngsters continued their robust enjoyment of the spring fair activities.

The day itself turned out to be dry, albeit overcast, but free of the day long drizzle and rain of the day before, Saturday. This meant that the outdoor games and activities went ahead, along with all of the fun and interesting indoor stuff.

Yes, it was a spring fair well worth attending and an event worthy of being

marked down on your calendar of future events that should not be missed. And, remember, there’s always the Christmas fair coming up late next fall that should merit an interesting visit as well.

The Ottawa Waldorf School is located on Goulbourn Street in Stittsville but can be most easily reached by parking in the municipal lot on the west side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Abbott Street and then walking to the adjacent school premises from there.

MARGARET KELLAWAY Special to the News

Air Cadets lets youth try new things and learn new skills. It allows youth to challenge themselves. It provides an opportunity for youth to make friends and develop leadership, build citizenship and improve self confidence. And this all happens while having fun. Just ask Michelle Boucher, a grade ten student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville who has been active with Air Cadets since 2007.

Michelle learned about Air Cadets from her babysitter at the time but had to wait until she reached the age of 12 in order to enroll. Her original purpose was to learn how to play the bagpipes but she found that Air Cadets also let her try many other things that she could not do anywhere else.

So, when her family moved to Stittsville, Michelle transferred to 872 Kanata Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron, along with her sister. There’s a brother who will be joining as well, as soon as he turns 12 this coming Sep-

In the past four years, Michelle has risen to the rank of Sergeant, a senior rank where she assists in activities such as gliding, sports Sgt. Michelle Boucher and bush weekends as well as helping command cadets in her flight.

After high school she plans to attend Royal Military College and then join the Air Force but for now her goal is to achieve the rank of Warrant Officer First Class (WO1) which is the highest rank possible for a Cadet.

“To be in charge of a Squadron as WO1 and teach all the Cadets what I’ve learned, that would be so great,” Michelle says.

While with 58 Squadron in Kingston, Michelle enjoyed her pipes and drums training. She also enjoys the gliding and athletic instructor camp in which she has participated. Indeed, she feels that having these chal-

School children who participated got to model their favourite clothes from their own closet. Hence the superhero costumes and even the presence of a tiger Halloween costume.

There were a number of dresses, especially sundresses. A yellow dress featuring butterflies was one show stopper while a long velvet dress brought forth admiring glances from the onlookers.

Swimwear, summerfriendly jean shorts and even a cowgirl outfit were among the other clothes modeled in the show.

And accessories did not go unnoticed as well – there was a wide brimmed hat, metallic sandals, flip flops and sunglasses. These young models thought of everything. It is no wonder that they received a standing ovation from their adult audience when the show John Curry photo ended.

Volunteers with the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association who are with a giant cheque for $11,668.05 which was the total of the funds raised by the volunteers in the past year are, from left to right, Valletta Hudson, Gerry Watkins, Sharon Robb, Sylvia Barr, Geri Anderson, Claire Forbes, Brenda McNally and Ria Skinner.

When the mayor, library board chair and ward councillor all attend an event, you know it’s important.

And that’s just what happened at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Friday afternoon, May 13 – all three dignitaries were there, not only to accept an $11,668.05 donation from the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library Association (FOPLA) volunteers but, more importantly, to thank these volunteers for all that they do in support of the library.

It was city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson himself who accepted the giant donation cheque from presenters Gerry Watkins and Sylvia Barr, acting on behalf of the FOPLA volunteers. In accepting the cheque, mayor Watson thanked the volunteers for their efforts on behalf of the library, praising them for the resources and time that they contribute to improve the library.

He also noted the generosity of Stittsville and area residents after having quickly toured the storage area for the used book store operated by the FOPLA volunteers at the Stittsville library and having seen that the storage area was packed with donated books.

Ottawa Public Library Board chair and city of Ottawa councillor Jan Harder, in her remarks, noted the thousands of hours which volunteers provide to the library system. She also noted that the FOPLA had raised over $300,000 for the Ottawa Public Library last year.

She praised library volunteers, saying that the city’s library branches would not be the same without their efforts. “The living room of each of your communities� is how chair Harder described the function of a library branch in a community.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri thanked the volunteers for their efforts over the years at the Stittsville library. He noted that the Stittsville community will be doubling in size in the coming years and that is why is it heartening to see the library branch alive not only in terms of people using its resources but also in terms of the involvement of the FO-

PLA volunteers.

He said that there is no place as democratic as the public library where the role of the community at large is essential to its success, working in conjunction with the staff.

The $11,668.05 handed over by the FOPLA volunteers from the Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, North Gower and Manotick branches at this presentation ceremony arose from the sale of books in the used book store at the Stittsville branch as well as the sale of books weeded from the shelves at the Richmond, Munster, North Gower and Manotick branches.

If these books do not sell at their local branches, then they are sent on to the used book store at the Stittsville library for sale there.

This and the generosity of residents of these communities who donate books for the used book store are the reasons why the storage area for the used book store is filled up with books to go on sale. Indeed, the used book store at the Stittsville library branch

could use much more space than it currently occupies in the branch but alas, the space is just not available.

In any case, the used book store will be holding another used book sale this coming June. These are always great occasions for great bargains for book lovers, while also raising funds which go back to the local library branches through the FOPLA. There are new lounge chairs in the fireplace area of the Stittsville library branch thanks to the fundraising efforts of the FOPLA. There is also a new display case at the ArtSpace wall thanks to the FOPLA. Previous FOPLA fundraising has helped provide assistive technology at the Stittsville library.

FOPLA funding is providing rods for the display of art at the Richmond library branch.

Previously FOPLA funding has provided two lounge chairs for the teen area at the Richmond library and has also provided plexiglass display holders for use in the library.

50 years of curling, memories, fun JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Fifty years of curling. Fifty years of memories. Fifty years of fun. These were all part of this year’s closing year-end banquet of the Richmond Curling Club, held at the St. Philip’s Hall in Richmond.

It was a sold out event, with 230 in attendance, all there to celebrate not only the past season of curling but also to celebrate the Club’s 50th anniversary year.

Founded in 1960 with 50 members and a two sheet natural ice rink, the Richmond Curling Club has grown to over 460

members this year, housed in a four sheet facility that was opened in 1980.

Indeed, even as the Club marks its 50th anniversary, it is looking to the future as it has applied for a Trillium grant to upgrading its ice plant and related facilities. There will be no word on the grant until July.

Current Club president John Fraser, speaking at the year-end banquet, noted that the possible Trillium funding will be based on the fact of the involvement of volunteers with the Club and he praised the numerous members who volunteer in one form or another, totaling some 240 volunteers. This ranges

from coaching the Little Rock program to arranging for the various draws to helping in the kitchen or bar.

“It’s certainly great to have that many volunteers to make the club as great as it is,” he said.

Charter members of the Club from 50 years ago who were at the year-end banquet included Don and Marg Sadler, Bruce Kinkade, who was the first president, John and Ann Tubman, Bill and Joyce Cook and Marlyn and Mac Storey.

This past season, the Club’s 50th anniversary year, was a memorable one for a number of reasons.

On Dec. 16, the anniversary of the first rock being delivered on the natural ice of the original facility, a past president’s dinner was held to mark the historic event, highlighted by an hilarious skit.

A calendar and booklet were produced to mark the anniversary year and the Club hosted the senior men’s and ladies’ competition in December. This was the competition which saw Club members Jennifer Langley and Brenda Moffitt join up with skip Joyce Potter of the Rideau Curling Club, a liaison which resulted in the rink not only winning silver medals in the Canadian seniors championship in Nova Scotia but also taking part in the Canadian ladies’ masters competition in Manitoba.

The year-end banquet provided an opportunity for the formal presentation of several championship trophies for the season.

The open club championship went to the rink of Warren Reddick (who wore stunning gold and red shoes to the banquet, which he modeled when asked), Andy Hall, Herb O’Heron and Bruce Moffitt.

On the ladies’ side, the ladies’ club championship went to the rink of Jennifer Langley, Bev O’Brien, Maryann Bednar and Brenda Moffitt.

The Fixed Mixed Team titles for the Thursday evening curling, sponsored by the Sawyer

family, saw the rink of John Wilson, Ronna Reddick, Herb O’Heron and Judy Graham win the A championship and the rink of Bob Connelly, Marg Connelly, Greg Boyle and Gail Boyle win the B championship.

Winners in the Fixed Open Teams competition on Wednesday evenings, sponsored by Custom Welding, were, on the A side, the rink of Dick Stoddard, Don Clugston, John Harvey and Jim Klachan, followed by the rink of Allan Burnside, Joel Gilchrist, Michel Rouleau and Sean Lewis.

On the B side, the rink of Rod Reddick, Jim Slinger, Duncan MacGibbon and Gary Saunders prevailed, followed by the rink of Paul Nixon, Neil Patterson, Mark Cooke and Glen Vanderveer.

Winner of the Fixed Ladies’ Team title for the Wednesday dinner league, sponsored by Cydney Green, was the rink of Bonnie Orchard, Heather Brophy, Sue Benton and Janine Dunlop.

The Richmond Curling Club saw its first curling start on Dec. 16, 1960 on two sheets of natural ice that was “anything but level” in the 4-H barn at the Richmond fairgrounds. The first rocks came from another club with the Richmond club eventually acquiring a new set as time went on.

One highlight of the early years was the Friday night men’s night at which no ladies were allowed.

The Club also had no liquor license and so curlers brought their own refreshments. There was never a shortage as every curler would bring along something, just in case no one else brought anything.

Corn or straw brooms, which were the norm in these early years, have now been displaced by today’s modern push brooms.

In the very early years, before artificial ice, a yellow and brown tint to the ice was common, thanks to the building’s use for livestock during the annual Richmond fair which preceded the curling season.

In the late 1970’s, structural problems forced the club to plan for a new four sheet facility and to fundraise with such initiatives as raffles for a new car and TV set and publication of a cookbook.

On Nov. 8, 1980, the present four sheet facility on the fairgrounds was opened.

In the 1990’s, the Richmond Curling Club began its continuing tradition of hosting an annual Good Friday’s men’s bonspiel which this year raised $900 for the benefit of the Club’s young curlers.

and his wife want to move to Stittsville and get involved in the community.

He said that in Maine, they lived in a town of 5,000 people where people said “hello” to each other on the street and they want to get back to a community where that feeling of friendliness and community exist and they believe that Stittsville is such a community.

“We are looking forward to living here as well,” Mr. LaPlante told the SVA executive.

“It has a great identity,” he said about Stittsville. “It still has its own identity which is great.”

He said that he will be getting involved in the community as it is important to be involved and part of the community when you live and work in it.

The opening of this new Sobeys store will mark the beginning of an expansion of the grocery segment of the Stittsville business community.

With a new Farm Boy store slated to open at the Crossing Bridge Square plaza this fall and a new Food Basics store to open on Hazeldean Road in the near future, Stittsville should have four grocery stores within the next year. At present Brown’s Your Independent Grocer is the only grocery store in Stittsville.

Wednesday, Aug. 24 will see the opening of the new Sobeys grocery store in Stittsville.

The 50,000 square foot store in the new shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road will feature a different approach to grocery shopping.

The whole objective is for the store to be a one stop shop featuring variety, freshness and customer convenience, Tim LaPlante, franchise owner for the new Sobeys, told members of the Stittsville Village Association executive at its meeting on Thursday, May 12.

“It’s a giant step backward,” Mr. LaPlante said in describing how the new store will mark a return to everything being made at the store level, from fresh fish to produce to sausages to cakes.

There will also be packers and parcel pickup, two former practices that are being rejuvenated in this new store.

Unlike the Sobeys store at Terry Fox Drive and Hazeldean Road in Kanata, this new Stittsville Sobeys store will not be open 24 hours but probably will

be open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. This is because Mr. LaPlante wants all store departments open and offering their fresh products and customer service whenever the store is open and this could not happen in a 24 hour store.

Mr. LaPlante believes that the 50,000 square foot size of the store will be able to meet the market demand, pointing out that the store will deal solely in groceries and will not be selling consumer products like rubber boots or clothing.

This new Sobeys store will have a staff of 250. Department heads are currently being hired, as they will start working at the new Sobeys store that will be opening on March Road in Kanata this June. This will provide them with experience working in the Sobeys environment before moving over to the new Stittsville store in August.

Mr. LaPlante himself is no stranger to the grocery business. He has worked in 22 grocery stores during his career, including owning four Loeb’s stores.

He took a 12 year break when he and his wife operated a bed and breakfast in Maine but he is now getting back in the business with this new Sobeys store.

He lives in Kanata right now but he

Renaissance Church of Stittsville helps in Haiti JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

A group from the Renaissance Church of Stittsville is on a one week mission of help to Haiti.

Specifically, the group is providing medical care and education to the orphans and students at the Fayeton Orphanage and school in a city called Gonaives, about four hours north of Port au Prince.

Many of the children at this orphanage and school do not receive ongoing medical care or vaccinations. The Renaissance Church team will be assessing the children’s health, will provide vaccinations and will develop an association with the local hospital and health care authorities to enable ongoing medical care for these children and the community in general.

This past year the Renaissance Church devoted its Christmas fundraising to repairing a school building at the Fayeton Orphanage. The orphanage houses about 200 children while the school that is on site serves upwards of 400 children every day.

This school building was severely damaged in the earth-

quake that rocked Haiti and needed to be rebuilt so that it would be a safe place for the children. As a result, the Renaissance Church raised $20,000 to rebuild the school. This began the church’s relationship with the orphanage and school and led to the one week medical mission being undertaken by the group of nine from the church.

Among those in the group are a doctor, teacher, engineer and a student.

The Renaissance Church began its involvement in Haiti at the end of 2009. Each year, during the holiday season, the church makes an effort to think of those less fortunate in the world and tries to combat the consumer mentality of the season by giving generously to those in need.

Some connections with a church movement in Haiti made the Renaissance Church aware of the desperate need there for clean water sources to keep water-borne illnesses like cholera at bay. So, late in 2009, the Renaissance Church set out to raise funds to provide three clean water wells for communities in Haiti.

Just a month or so later, the

earthquake rocked the country, especially Port au Prince and the surrounding countryside, leaving the country in a prolonged state of emergency.

In light of this tragedy, the Renaissance Church members dug a little deeper and engaged some corporate contacts, managing to raise another $30,000 to provide food, water, clothing, medication and shelter for those hardest hit by the earthquake.

One of the church’s members, Dr. Rob Yelle, travelled to Port au Prince in the days just after the earthquake to provide emergency medical care for the wounded.

Michelle Moo of Stittsville, one of the Renaissance Church group that is on the medical mission to Haiti, said recently that on the trip, the church members will be able to see where the church’s funds went to help out.

“I think for a lot of people it will be an eye opening experience,” she said about her impending trip.

The group planned to travel to Haiti with suitcases filled with supplies needed there, such as toothbrushes and vitamins.

A French teacher herself, Ms. Moo said that those from the

church who are on the medical mission trip were those who volunteered and who were available for the mid-May trip.

“People who wanted to go could go,” she explained in how

the members of the group were selected.

The Renaissance Church holds its Sunday service at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville.

The presidency of the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League (LCMHL) has come to Stittsville.

Glenn Austin, who has been acting president of the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA), takes over as the LCMHL president for the coming season. As such, he will be leaving the SMHA executive. A SMHA volunteer since 2007, Mr. Austin has held a number of posts including convener, equipment manager and vice-president.

The LCMHL is a minor hockey league of 150 teams, ranging from novice through juvenile.

Minor hockey associations involved in the LCMHL include Almonte/Pakenham, Carleton Place, Osgoode/Rideau, Perth/ Lanark, Richmond Munster,

West Carleton and Stittsville.

To fill the void left by Mr. Austin’s departure, the SMHA executive has elected Lynda Partner to be acting president pending the return of Craig Goodwin who was suspended by District 4 this past season. She will be acting president until the end of the upcoming season or until Mr. Goodwin returns from suspension. Ms. Partner has been involved with SMHA for the past five years. She has been responsible for communications, clinics, risk and safety and registration. She most recently has been vice-president of support services. Others on the SMHA executive for the coming season include Fiona Livingstone as vice-president of finance; Chris Weir as director of competitive; Angelo Miceli as director of the hockey development program; and Mike Clarkson as director of the house program.

Recommendations made to the incoming executive at the recent SMHA annual general meeting include consideration of an internal house league program where possible if the LCMHL continues to insist on its current player selection ra-

tio; introduction of a better structure and consistency to the team selection process; making player development a priority and expanding last season’s program to put more emphasis on goalie development; fighting for more ice time including at the

new ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex; expanding mandatory police checks to include all bench staff; investigate bringing the Rep A program inhouse; and continue to recruit and thank volunteers and to think about success planning.

The annual “Girls’ Night Out,” an event that sees 800 ladies fill the ice slab at the Richmond arena, is planned for Friday, June 10 this year.

Once again, entertainer Wayne Rostad will be the host of the event which is a major fundraising activity for Friends of Hospice Ottawa.

Also again this year, when the doors open at 5:30 p.m., volunteer firefighters will be on hand to escort attendees to their seats.

This is always a much anticipated and thrilling moment for all those who attend.

There will be both silent and live auctions as well as a raffle at this year’s event.

Dinner will be served by A.J.’s Catering and there will be a margarita bar along with a regular bar.

For more information or to purchase tickets for this June 10th “Girls Night Out” event, please contact Lynn Hull at 613-838-3071 or via email at gno.lynnhull@ gmail.com.

There’s a flurry of activity going on at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library – and it’s not related to books or library programming.

Rather, it has to do with some basic “bricks and mortar” situations.

A recent power outage resulted in a couple of inches of water collect-

ing in the basement of the library. As a result, because of concerns about mould, the drywall around the bottom of the walls inside the basement has to be removed and replaced. The carpet, though, has dried out and will be remaining. In addition, the access ramp at the front of the building is being replaced. The slope of the existing ramp did not meet required specifica-

DEADLINE: TUESDAY AT 9AM.

In loving memory of our brother Rory who passed away one year ago May 22, 2010.

RORY BRADLEY Nov 24, 1955 - May 22, 2010

Hard to image a year has passed.

A year full of one day’s at a time.

Sometimes, one hour at a time.

Rory was our pillar of strength and protection and also our soft place to land. The sense of loss to the children and myself is still immense.

We are, however, extremely grateful to belong to such a caring community.

Your continued thoughts and enquiries of our well being continue to help heal and still make a difference. The children and I thank you!

If you get there before I do, don’t give up on me.

I’ll see you when my chores are through.

I’m not sure how long I’ll be.

But I’m not going to let you down.

Darling, wait and see.

So, until now and then, till I see you again, I’ll be loving you Love “ME” Carolyn Dad, forever in our hearts and memory!

Remember him with a smile today, He was not one for tears, Reflect instead on memories, Of all the happy years.

Recall to mind the way he spoke, And all the things he said, His strength, his stance, the way he walked, Remember these instead.

The good advice he’d give us.

His eyes that shone with laughter, So much of him will never die, But live on ever after.
