Besides playing sledge hockey, Tyrone also does adapted water skiing, wheelchair racing, hand cycling, para-alpine mono-skiing and para-rowing.

Bren Hunter of Stittsville, a student at South Carleton High School in Richmond, attended two World Karate Association Karate World Championships in 2015, coming home with three medals. He fights in the boys age 15-17 and boys age 16-17 age classes in several different disciplines including karate, kickboxing, open/creative weapons, musical weapons overall and traditional weapons. A six time world champion, he has won 23 world medals including six gold while representing Canada at various competitions.

Erica Wiebe, who grew up in Stittsville and graduated from Sacred Heart Catholic High School, now trains in Calgary and has become one of the world’s top female wrestlers. In 2015, Erica won seven international gold medals from events in Russia, Sweden, Germany, Canada, Spain and the United States. She also won a silver medal in the Olympia Tournament in Greece which advanced the 2014 Commonwealth Games champion up to number two in the world rankings. She capped 2015 by winning her weight class at the Canadian Olympic Team Trials. She will soon be wrestling internationally as she attempts to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.

Bradley Craig barn going to Saunders Farm John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Goodbye, Hazeldean Road. Hello, Saunders Farm.

The red Bradley Craig barn which has stood in its current location along what is now Hazeldean Road in Stittsville since the 1870’s is going to be dismantled and relocated to Saunders Farm at Munster.

Ottawa city council approved these actions at its meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 27, a day after city council’s planning committee had voted in favour of the barn’s relocation.

The motion which the planning committee approved reads as follows: “Whereas in 2006 Richcraft Homes purchased the site that encompasses the Bradley Craig barn when there was no heritage designation on the barn or house; and whereas the Fernbank Community Design Plan approved by city council in 2009 designated the lands fronting onto Hazeldean Road as Mixed Use and identified the Bradley Craig barn for retention or relocation within the community; and whereas the farmstead consisting of the barn, a Gothic Revival style brick farm house and associated yard was designated under Part 1V of the Ontario Heritage Act by city council in 2010 for its cultural heritage value; and whereas the city turned down the offer from Richcraft to relocate the barn to the future district park in the community given the large costs associated to undertake incorporating the barn into a recreation complex and the annual operating costs; and whereas retrofitting the barn for adaptive re-use is a large financial undertaking which Richcraft has identified as not feasible nor reasonable for their business model; and whereas if the barn is not relocated it will remain vacant in the current condition for the foreseeable future as Richcraft has no intention to undertake any work at the barn other than the minimum as mandated by the Property Standards Bylaw to maintain; and whereas there is no legal mechanism available to require the developer to find an alternative use and re-

purpose the barn; and whereas the Fernbank CDP, the Official Plan and the Provincial Police Statement set clear guidelines for development in the urban area, which includes understanding that land within the urban boundary will be developed; and whereas the future development of the site will diminish the ‘landmark’ significance of the barn as the completed commercial development of the site will greatly reduce the sightlines and provide a very limited view of the barn from Hazeldean Road; and whereas instead of applying for a complete demolition of the barn, Richcraft has made arrangements to find a suitable new location for the barn and have sought a partner who is willing to restore the barn to reflect its original state; therefore be it resolved that planning committee recommend council issue the heritage demolition permit conditional upon the following: the barn must be relocated/rebuilt within two years to Saunders Farm in Munster; the property owner must submit a detailed plan for the recording, dismantling, storage and reconstruction of the barn to the Planning and Growth Management Department for review and approval prior to the demolition and removal of the building; the Bradley Craig farm house will remain as a designated property and there are to be no alterations or changes to the status of the house on the property; that staff be directed to work with the applicant through the site plan control process to develop an interpretation strategy to commemorate the site’s history; therefore be it resolved that once the barn has been demolisghed and removed, staff be directed to prepare an amendment to Bylaw 2010-247 to remove the barn from the Statement of Cultural Heritage Value and Heritage Attributes.

At the planning committee meeting, seven councillors including city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor voted in favour of the motion. Others voting in favour were councillors Stephen Blais, Jan Harder, Jean Cloutier, Riley Brockington, Tim Tierney and Allan Hubley. Councillors Jeff Leiper and Tobi Nussbaum voted against the motion.

Planning committee was dealing with the issue after city council’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee, at a December meeting, voted to recommend to the planning committee that the barn’s proposed demolition and relocation to Saunders Farm be denied by the city, with the barn remaining at its Hazeldean Road site.

On its blog on Wednesday, Jan. 27 following city council’s decision about the Bradley Craig barn, Saunders Farm had the following post: See PUBLIC ACCESS, page 6

6 Stittsville News - Thursday, February 4, 2016

“Today Ottawa city council approved the move of the Bradley Craig barn (20 votes to 3) to the Farm to protect the barn and make it more accessible to the public. Over the coming months we are excited to work with Richcraft Homes, the city and the community to come up with a plan to celebrate and sustain the heritage of the barn.”

In an email outreach following city council’s decision about the Bradley Craig barn, city councillor Shad Qadri his reasons for supporting the barn’s demolition and relocation to Saunders Farm at Munster, explain that there were really only two options in the matter: leaving the barn as it currently stands unused and eventually over-shadowed by development at the site; or relocation to Saunders Farm where there is a willing partner who wants to bring life back to the barn and allow the public to share in its beauty.

“Moving the barn to Saunders Farm is bringing it to a family oriented agri-tourism location where it will be located in proximity to other heritage buildings and will complement the area in representing Goulbourn history,” councillor Qadri wrote in the email.

“Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm has advised it is their intention to bring life back to the building and also allow the building to be enjoyed by residents,” councillor Qadri continued in the email. “Their family has travelled throughout North America and the United Kingdom seeking inspiration

and have seen dozens of barn restorations.

Similarly they too are a location that others seek as inspiration as they have re-built and restored 11 heritage farm buildings on their property. This family has the knowledge and passion to restore this barn and give it a new life.” Councillor Qadri also notes that at the planning committee meeting, Mark Saunders noted that the barn may be used for farm/local vendor sales, a summer farm camp and perhaps as an educational focus for farming in the 1800’s. At Saunders Farm, it is proposed that the Bradley Craig barn will be located at the front of the property adjacent to the parking lot and outside any admission areas. This means that the public will be able to see and visit the barn at no cost.

A group called “Friends of the BradleyCraig Farm” which was formed to advocate for the retention of the Bradley Craig barn at its Hazeldean Road location, in its brief submitted to city council’s planning committee at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 26, urged the committee to reject the demolition and relocation proposal and instead encourage Richcraft Homes to work to identify a suitable and feasible adaptive re-use of the barn that would keep the Bradley Craig farmstead including the barn and farm house intact on Hazeldean Road. The Friends of the Bradley-Craig Farm was willing to help in this task of finding such a suitable and feasible adaptive re-use of the barn.

See UNIQUE BARN, page 7

Unique barn with monitor roofline was built in the early 1870’s In its brief, the Friends of the Bradley-Craig Farm outlined its vision for the barn as follows: “Our basic vision is to keep the landmark Bradley-Craig Farmstead – including both the farmhouse and barn – intact at the current location on Hazeldean Road. We hope to see the heritage buildings adapted for modern re-use as an autonomous, self-sufficient or partnered commercial and/or community facility. The buildings would be a vibrant and integral enhancement to the mixed use development planned for the Fernbank lands, an anchor for the new growing community and a benefit to surrounding commercial development.”

The brief contaibned a proposed re-imaging of the farmstead into a development called “Stittsville Farmyards” which was presented as just one of many possible inspirational ideas about how the property could be developed both for profit for the developer and for community gain for area residents.

A cultural heritage impact statement prepared by Commonwealth Resource Management for Richcraft Homes claims that relocation of the barn to Saunders Farm at Munster, as proposed, “allows the opportunity for the public to experience this magnificent structure in an appropriate rural setting. “ The statement advocates for relocation of the barn to Saunders Farm, concluding with this observation: “The relocation strategy is often associated with a loss of context, but in this particular case, it may be seen as a more viable solution than rehabilitation on its present site in that it retains the artefact in a context. At Saunders Farm, the barn can be recognized as a significant part of Ottawa Valley history. Saunders Farm is in Goulbourn Township and is located in close proximity to the original site of the Bradley/ Craig Barn. The structure’s architectural integrity will be preserved, there would be public access, and a more appropriate setting compared to the commercial development on 590 Hazeldean Road.”

The statement makes a pitch for the proposed relocated site at Saunders Farm being a more appropriate setting for the barn.

“Relocation will allow the barn to stand proud and be a focus in a rural setting,” the statement reads. “Retention in-situ in the context of the planned commercial development and intensification will be difficult to integrate into the large-format commercial culture and will result in the structure being surrounded by a commercial mixed-use area where its future vocation would be for retail purposes with parking and cars

replacing the green-space setting.”

The statement claims that relocation to Saunders Farm will give the public an opportunity “to experience this magnificent structure in an appropriate rural setting.”

The statement outlines a number of reasons why relocating the barn to Saunders Farm is worthwhile, noting that if left in place, “the dignity of the barn would be viewed by the general public as a left-over relic, and its potential usability would be in question.”

It lists a number of positive aspects of the relocation such as: the relocation will ensure that the barn will be retained in its entirety with the potential to be “animated and continue a meaningful existence in the community”; that the barn at Saunders Farm would be positioned to be used in traditional ways that reflect its historic function; that the barn’s three-dimensional form would remain intact in an appropriate rural setting; that its relocation would provide Ottawa residents with the opportunity to experience a traditional barn raising bee when it was re-built at Saunders Farm; and that the barn would be seen and visited by the public as Saunders Farm has attracted one million visitors over the years.

This cultural heritage impact statement regarding the Bradley/ Craig barn was prepared by Commonwealth Resource Management last September. Commonwealth Resource Management is an integrated consulting and management firm that is focused on planning and development for heritage resources.

John Stewart, one of its principals, is a specialist in the planning and design of cultural resources, building conservation and commercial area revitalization.

Key heritage features of the Bradley/Craig barn as outlined in the statement of reasons for its heritage designation in 2010 include the barn’s monitor roofline, stone foundations, timber frame construction, purlin frame kneewall, solid wood timbers connected by mortise tenon joinery, wood cladding, diamondshaped clerestory windows and raised two-bay barn plan.

The L-shaped barn which later additions have rendered U-shaped has a monitor roofline similar to a Romanesque or Gothic cathedral.

windows allowing light and fresh air into the barn’s interior. The barn sits on its largely original stone masonry foundation and features timber-frame mortise and tenon construction with draw bore pins, wide board sheathing and metal roofing.

The barn was large enough to store hay essential for a dairy operation and provided conditions suitable to livestock thanks to a ground level door and window openings.

In addition, the barn exemplifies improvements in farm technology, labour saving techniques and the evolution of farm buildings. For example, ramps for unloading hay were innovative as were the barn’s interior rope and pulley systems and a track along the upper roof ridge bean connected to a fork for vertically transferring hay into the “mow” and horizontally moving it across the “mow” as well.

This unique barn was built in the early 1870’s by John A. Cummings (1831-1887) assisted by local farmers and apprentices. It is the last known example of

about four area barns which were built by him.

Cummings was a skilled carpenter and builder but he also was the local undertaker using a black glass-sided hearse drawn by black horses.

NCC process needs to be more open

C

anadians will have their chance to weigh in on the two competing proposals to develop anywhere from 9.1 hectares to 21.6 hectares of land west of our downtown.

But some key information seems to missing from the process. Daniel Peritz, vice-president of Canderel, which is one of the parties in Devcore Group that proposed Canadensis said shovels could be in the ground after the approvals in 2017, but didn’t outline the timelines for the three phases of the project. It’s the one that includes an arena and a library.

Wait, that’s both groups.

First of all, Canadians likely expected a bigger range of options when it came to develop a tract of land that has remained vacant for decades.

And that both proposals include a library supposes that Ottawa will want to move their central library there. That process is separate and ongoing – with five sites being considered.

It’s possible that the size of the project and the expenses involved prohibited some other players from entering the arena, but the lack of costing in the proposals means we will never know.

Canadians are being asked to evaluate two

huge proposals involving valuable crown land without having concrete information about construction timelines or how much the individual proposals will cost.

Considering whoever gets the successful bid has a $170-million remediation job ahead of them before the first brick gets laid down, it would be good to know that the parties involved have the capital needed for such a large-scale venture. And what will happen to the Ottawa Senators? That’s the big question. It’s such a big question in fact, that it’s clouding the issue.

Why would Devcore include a NHL-calibre arena in their plan without talking to the owner of the team? But, on the other hand, is it fair for Eugene Melnyk to hold the team hostage as a negotiating tool to push his team’s bid into the public eye? Melnyk said he won’t sell the team for any price, while the competing team has said they’re willing to talk about many scenarios to facilitate the Senators playing downtown.

We hope that this information will come to light soon, but with the clock ticking on the Feb. 8 public comment deadline, we feel we are being asked to make a decision without having all the facts.

The vision becomes clearer CHARLES GORDON

ontinuing along the lines of the argument about great cities, which was last week’s theme, we now have some LeBreton Flats plans to look at. How will LeBreton Flats fit into the great city that people want Ottawa to become?

Well it gets back to the discussion of what makes a city great.

Is it a city full of tourist attractions, or is it a city that concentrates foremost on the people who live in it? We see some of these themes arising in the LeBreton proposals. One has lots of tourist attractions, the other less so. Both feature housing, which is crucial to the area. If no one lives there, LeBreton Flats becomes a dead space at times. If people live there they will support stores and res-

Funny Town taurants, not to mention a library.

Initially, people were skeptical about a hockey arena being a central part of the plan. The idea has been expressed that an arena serves only the people of Ottawa — while presumably something like an aquarium serves all of Canada. It’s a bit of a dubious proposition, but it’s one of the things the National Capital Commission will have to consider.

At any event, we will have a new arena if either of the two proposals now under consider-

ation is accepted. And it’s actually a good thing. The Canadian Tire Centre, which many of us still think of as brand new, is actually showing its age a bit.

Expensive renovations lie ahead, if it stays where it is.

And the kind of improvements it needs, such as a widened concourse area, can’t be done given the present structure.

So a new arena is not as ludicrous an idea as it first seemed.

Plus, its presence in LeBreton Flats, convenient to downtown, served by public transit and with a community of stores, restaurants and bars within walking distance, can only be an asset to the city — and even to tourists: remember that not only hockey will featured. In the coming days, more details will emerge about the two proposals and opinions will solidify.

One thing that an overwhelming majority of us can agree on is

that we should get on with it.

It’s absolutely ludicrous that such a large and central chunk of land should sit empty for more than 50 years.

And we’re not even sure why.

Obviously, much of it has to do with our capital being blessed with so many jurisdictions – the city, the NCC, Public Works, two provinces and the federal government, in the political sense.

But much of it has to do with a kind of institutional caution. We have to study everything.

But first we have to study how to study it.

Then the studies that emerge have to be reviewed. Documents have to be translated.

The public has to be consulted.

The environment has to be considered. There needs to be consultation about that.

Then a government changes and everything has to start again.

Added to that is the easily per-

Even considering all this, 50 years, going on 60, is a long time.

Yodelling at Friendship Club It was a hit song from 1935 that was a highlight of singer Lauren Hall’s performance at the January luncheon meeting of the Friendship Club in Stittsville on Wednesday, Jan. 27.

That’s because it featured yodelling, something not heard very often these days, but it sure is a show stopper when it does.

The song was “I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart,” which was a hit by American country singer Patsy Montana and the Prairie Ramblers way back in 1935. It became Patsy Montana’s signature song and well it should have as it was the first song by a female country performer to become a million selling single.

But “I Want To Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart” was just one of many familiar and memorable songs presented by Lauren during her Friendship Club performance, some country, some pop, some rock ‘n roll.

She began with “Above and Beyond (The Call of Love),” a 1960 hit for country music singer Buck Owens who pioneered the socalled “Bakersfield Sound” with his band The Buckaroos. Named after his home town, the “Bakersfield Sound” introduced some features of rock ‘n roll into country music.

She followed this up with a medley trio of three iconic songs: “From A Jack To A King,” initially a hit in 1962 for country music singer Ned Miller which was also recorded by Elvis Presley in 1969; “Take These Chains From My Heart,” a 1952 Hank Williams hit that has since been recorded by a host of singers including Dean Martin, Kitty Wells, George Jones and Glen Campbell: and “I Never Felt More Like Singing The Blues,” a 1956 song by Marty Robbins.

Lauren then turned to songs

made famous by two of the most renowned American female singers of the immediate postwar years, Doris Day and Patti Page.

“Sentimental Journey” was a 1945 hit by Doris Day that has since become something of a standard with jazz artists and “The Tennessee Waltz” was a 1950 hit for pop music singer Patti Page. Indeed, the song was made one of the official songs of the state of Tennessee in 1965.

Lauren then sang her version of “Calendar Girl,” a 1961 hit by American pop/rock singer Neil Sedaka. Only when Lauren sang it, it was “Calendar Boy” with appropriate word changes.

“South of the Border (Down Mexico Way)” was Lauren’s next song. This was a hit song in 1939 for band leader Guy Lombardo but others who are known for their versions of this song include Gene Autry, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra.

Lauren dipped into the 1950’s song box for “Who’s Sorry Now,” the 1957 breakthrough hit for American pop singer Connie Francis.

And so it went, throughout the performance – one familiar hit song after another from the 1940’s onwards.

So the Friendship Club members heard “There’s A Kind of Hush (All Over The World),” the 1967 hit for the English pop band Herman’s Hermits which was also a 1976 hit for the American vocal duo of Karen and Richard Carpenter; the 1956 Academy Award winning song “Que Sera Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be)” by Doris Day; “Walkin’ After Midnight,” the 1957 song that was the first major hit single for country music singer Patsy Cline; “Orange Coloured Sky,” with its ear catching lyrics “Flash, Bam, Alakazam” done in 1950 by American singer Nat King Cole; “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da,” a Beatles song from the group’s 1966 album “The Bea-

tles”; “Return To Sender,” a 1962 hit by Elvis Presley; “Coat of Many Colours,” a song written by American singer Dolly Parton which she calls the favourite song that she has written; “All of Me,” a jazz standard from 1931 that has been covered by many over the years including Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald; and the lively “Boogie Woogle Bugle Boy,” a 1941 song that became an iconic World War Two song that was done by the Andrew Sisters, a close harmony singing group that was inducted into the Vocal Hall of Fame in 1998.

Lauren Hall, who grew up in Almonte in a family of seven children and who now lives in Ottawa, was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013.

New owners take over at Gaia Java Coffee Company shop John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a change with no change.

The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre in Stittsville has been sold, with new ownership taking over as of last Monday, Feb. 1. But the new owners, Dan Godkin and Bernie McNaught, have no plans for any major changes at the coffee shop. There may be some small changes such as adding orange juice to the morning menu or opening up a little earlier

in the morning to accommodate commuters or adding more pastries but overall the new owners are pleased with the shop’s comfortable ambience, the staff’s approach to hospitality and the shop’s customer base. The existing art is staying on the walls, the shop will continue to support an outreach mission in Uganda and the weekly Friday music nights will continue. “They’ve done a really, really good job with this,� Dan Godkin says about the shop’s founders and owners who have sold the business, Paul Jay and Paul Melsness, pointing

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on January 27, 2016 established its intention to designate the Boyd House, 173 Huntmar Drive under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The Boyd House, 173 Huntmar Drive, is a one-and-one-half-storey stone farmhouse located in the west end of Ottawa in the former Township of Huntley.

out that the pair have really loved the business. He also praises the former owners for being so helpful and open in the sale process.

Neither Dan nor Bernie have been in the coffee business before but the shop fits in with their other enterprise, Taylor Creek Naturals, which is going to produce natural soaps and other natural and therapeutic products. Indeed, some of the coffee grinds from the Gaia Java roaster will be able to be used in some of the Taylor Creek products.

It is the presence of the roaster at the Gaia Java shop which appeals to Dan and Bernie as they intend to use it to its maximum, not only for coffee for the shop itself but also for producing unique custom-blend coffee for restaurants in the area. They will be able not only to roast these custom blends but also they will have the capability to design coffee bags for the customers and to package these bags with the custom blend wanted by the customer. Dan also has the experience to blend tea so both the Gaia Java shop itself as well as external customers will be able to enjoy unique blends of tea in the future.

The roaster, which sits at the rear of the Gaia Java shop, is also very environmentally friendly in its operation, something which is

important to the new owners, just as it was to the shop’s initial founding owners.

One of the new owners expects to be at the shop at all times, although Bernie will be at the shop the most since Dan will be setting up the Taylor Creek Naturals production facility in Bells Corners and also visiting restaurants throughout the area, telling them about the opportunity to have a quality unique blend of coffee for the restaurant that will be produced by Gaia Java.

Dan and Bernie had found out that the Gaia Java coffee shop was for sale late last fall and since last November, they have been working on the details and paperwork related to the sale.

Dan and Bernie have found the Stittsville community “very welcoming� as they have met customers in the shop during their visits to the shop over the past several weeks as the sale was pending.

Dan says that he and Bernie want to offer at the Gaia Java shop a unique place where the people of Stittsville can go and enjoy themselves in a comfortable atmosphere.

They also want to become part of the community, helping out churches, schools and local charities.

Statement of Cultural Value or Interest The Boyd House has cultural heritage value for its contextual value as an important reminder of the historic agricultural character of Huntley Township, design value as a 19th century farmhouse and historical value for its association with the Boyd family and the early settlement of Huntley Township.

The Boyd House’s design value lies in it being a good example of a Gothic Revival farmhouse built in the late 19th century to replace the earlier log house built upon the initial settlement of the land. Typical of this style, it features decorative bargeboard trim, a steeply pitched gable roof, segmental arched windows, including one in the gable end, and a veranda with wooden trim.

The Boyd House has historical value for its association with the Boyd family from its construction in 1887 until the 1970s, when the last descendant ceased to farm the lands. The Boyd family was one of a number of Irish Protestant families who arrived in Huntley Township in the mid-19th century and quickly prospered through a combination of hard work and excellent farmland. The house is one of a number built for these early families, probably by the same Scottish stonemason that built the nearby Hartin House.

The Boyd House has contextual value because it is historically linked to its surroundings as one of the few remaining farmhouses in this area that serve as a reminder of the agricultural history of Huntley Township and the historic rural character of the area.

OBJECTIONS Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and a report.

erated the bar at the fundraiser which was held in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville.

Editor: I’d like to commend and scold Metroland.

I’m very happy that, even with print revenue in decline, Metroland is still willing to invest in community news with papers across Ottawa and the province. I’ve delivered the Stittsville

News for years and every week I see the effort that goes into it. I find it hypocritical to criticize Postmedia for laying off 12 employees here in Ottawa when Metroland is in turn firing 23 staff including eight journalists in Guelph and is shuttering one of the oldest newspapers in Canada.

Mary Lou Rankin steps down from Friendship Club executive John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Mary Lou Rankin has stepped down as property manager for the Friendship Club.

She received a round of appreciative applause for her years of service in the position at the Club’s annual general meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 27.

Stepping into the position of property manager on the Club’s 2016 executive will be Marlene Lahey.

The rest of the Friendship Club executive for 2016 remains the same as last year, with Carole Herbert as president; Shirley Pretty as treasurer; Helen James as corresponding secretary; Barb Vant’Slot as recording secretary; Rosemary Morin as entertainment chair; Lorraine Gillies as membership chair; and Gloria Stewart as immediate past president.

In addition, Donna Cadieux will be joining the executive in some capacity to be determined.

The Friendship Club is a group

for seniors which holds monthly luncheons featuring entertainment plus offers a variety of programs for members including an exercise program, shuffleboard, euchre and bridge. The group’s carpet bowling program, which had been offered for years in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville, has been cancelled due to low participation.

There is a possibility that the program will be re-launched at some point if interest in the program is rekindled.

RVRW launches fundraising for housing for Syrian refugee family Special to the News

The refugee family from Syria that the RVRW group is sponsoring is expected to arrive within two to three months and the group has to be ready when it happens.

The group is preparing to sign a lease for housing for the Syrian refugee family but it wants to have enough money in the bank to pay for one year’s rent. That’s why it has set a fundraising goal of $12,000.

The generosity and support of the com-

munity is once again being called upon so that this goal can be achieved.

Please consider making a donation in cash or by cheque to help out. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond has volunteered to accept donations and issue tax receipts for amounts over $25.

Such donation cheques should be made

out to “St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church� with “For refugee sponsorship� written on the memo line.

Such donation cheques should be mailed to P.O. Box 846, Richmond, ON K0A 2Z0.

You can also visit the RVRW website www. richmondvillagerefugeewelcome.ca and donate directly through Go Fund Me.

The Richmond Village Refugee Welcome (RVRW) group has met its first fundraising target but now has another fundraising challenge to meet.

Thanks to community support and generosity, RVRW, which is sponsoring a refugee family from Syria, has passed its first fundraising hurdle as it has raised enough funds to be accepted as a sponsorship group.

The Homecraft Department’s goal is to purchase a new commercial fridge for the Dining Hall. In 2015, Homecraft held several fundraising initiatives including catering the annual 4H banquet and the Good Sams RV Club dinner at the fairgrounds.

Homecraft also held a basket raffle at the Fair.

Laura has been elected assistant homecraft director for District 1. Laura attended the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions convention in Niagara Falls last November.

The Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) will host its first meeting of the year on Thursday, February 4th, beginning at 10:00am at our new regular home in Ben Franklin Place. This will be our first meeting since the December 10th Special Meeting in Manotick.

In no particular order, agenda items for this meeting include: Inquiries & Motions Status Update; City of Ottawa Semi-Annual Performance Report; the Engineer’s Report for the O’Keefe Municipal Drain in Barrhaven; appointment of Robinson Consultants to review drainage works petitions for a development in Innes Ward as well as for the proposed Seabrook development on First Line Road; minor zoning amendments for surplus farm severances at 6345 Garvin Road (Rideau-Goulbourn), 5511, 5537 McCordick Road and 5510 Fourth Line Road (Rideau-Goulbourn), 5985 Frank Kenny Road (Cumberland) and 5063 Upper Dwyer Hill Road (West Carleton-March).

Locally, one item on the agenda relates to Manotick and Minto’s Mahogany development. The report deals with development charges and credits provided to Minto for the recovery of sanitary and sewer works within Manotick that directly relate to their development. On another Mahogany note, members of the Manotick Culture, Parks & Recreation Association will present plans for docking and recreation space at Mahogany Harbour, along Manotick Main Street. The MCPRA is looking to work with the City on developing a clear path forward on implementing docks at this location and will be looking to jump start the process with their presentation.

The Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee will also hear presentations on traffic calming projects in the rural area as well as a new strategic initiative involving the Heritage Reference List and, more specifically, heritage properties in the rural area. In 2017, distinct historically relevant neighbourhoods, villages and rural areas will be researched and the heritage value of buildings will be evaluated in relation to the local context. Other heritage resources, such as bridges and parks, will also be evaluated. As Chair of ARAC and a member of the Built Heritage Sub-Committee, this is an initiative that I am very much looking forward to working on and I imagine there will be much interest across rural Ottawa.

As mentioned earlier, the February 4th meeting of ARAC begins at 10:00am at Ben Franklin Place. All are welcome.

Goulbourn Recreation Complex Legal Review On June 11th, 2014, City Council approved a recommendation by the Finance and Economic Development Committee for the allocation of $4 million from the City-Wide Reserve to fund increased remediation works for the Goulbourn Recreation Complex.

The Report detailed the fact that those additional works were necessitated by deterioration of some structural elements of the building caused by water infiltration into the building envelope. Based on the motion that I had put forward, the City Clerk and Solicitor undertook to review whether all or a portion of the costs of the remedial works might be recovered by any of the external contractors or consultants involved in the design and/or construction of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. At this time Staff have recommended that no further legal action be taken on this matter.

Through the support on analysis of all of the available documentation, as well as interviews with City staff, the review determined that the City did not have a reasonable likelihood of establishing liability against any of the parties potentially responsible for the problems that prompted the recent remediation of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex structure. This view was heavily influenced by the fact that similar problems had been identified shortly after the initial construction, which had prompted the City in June 2006 to pursue a $1 million action against the parties responsible for the design and construction of the facility.

City Clerk and Solicitor determined that there was no reasonable likelihood of recovering all or a portion of the cost of the remediation works required for the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, from any other party and that commencing litigation might serve only to increase the overall cost to the City of the matter.

Should you have any questions regarding this update don’t not hesitate to contact my office.

Proposed Drive-Through Restaurant at 1251 Stittsville Main Street The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan application to permit the development of a new one storey restaurant with associated drive-through (File Number D07-12-150198). Located at the northeast corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road, the subject site is currently occupied by the Browns Your Independent Grocery Store.

The purpose of this application is to permit the development of a new one storey restaurant, with associated drive-through, within the southwest corner of the subject site. The tenants of the building have not been confirmed at the time. The proposed building is to be located along Stittsville Main Street, so as to help define the street edge, and has been designed to reflect the ‘village’ character of the area. No additional vehicular accesses are proposed, parking will be shared with the existing retail food store, and the proposed drive-through has been located to the rear of the building.

The site is designated Traditional Mainstreet pursuant to the City of Ottawa Official Plan, Traditional Mainstreet within the Crossing Bridge Precinct in the Stittsville Main Street Secondary Plan and Community Design Plan, and is zoned Traditional Mainstreet Subzone 9, Exception 2270. Please note that the City cannot dictate what specific business is established, but it will have the follow the City’s approved uses in the zoning by-law.

For more information on this development please visit my website. The public is encouraged to provide comments and questions by February 24th to myself and City Planner, Amanda Marsh at Amanda.Marsh@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424, ext. 13409.

Proposed Retirement Residence on former Flea Market lands The City of Ottawa has received a Site Plan application for 6176 Hazeldean Road (File Number D07-12-15-0201). The site is the location of the former Stittsville Flea Market bordered by Hazeldean Road to the north and Neil Avenue to the south. Automotive uses are to the east, residential and the OCDSB Facilities Department building to the south, Open Space to the east and vacant land and a commercial plaza to the north.

The applicant is proposing a five-storey retirement residence in two phases. Phase 1 will consist of 173 units and Phase 2 of 57 units. 110 parking spaces are being proposed. They will be rooming units and will serve seniors able to live relatively independently and those who require assisted care and memory care.

For more information please visit my website.

Potter’s Key Discussions Continue with City and Developer The Minto Homes proposed residential development known as Potter’s Key is tentatively scheduled to come forward to the City’s Planning Committee for approval on February 23rd, 2016. The developers have submitted a Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-Law Amendment application for this proposed development.

One of the concerns raised is the lack of a direct road connection to Hazeldean from this proposed subdivision. It is anticipated that there will be a connection made through the lands to the south of the proposed subdivision that front onto Hazeldean Road, however this would not occur until the lands have been developed for commercial purposes. The timing for this connection is unknown as these lands are currently for sale. I have been working to see if there is any possibility to find a solution that would provide an access to Hazeldean Road.

There is a smaller commercial property abutting the southeast corner of the proposed subdivision (located immediately west of the Jackson Trails Plaza). As this land is owned by Minto’s commercial development company I did request they provide a temporary road access to Hazeldean Road to be used by the public through this property.

Minto did advise they would be prepared to consider providing this temporary access until 2018 or Spring 2019. Minto has provided this as an option however I do find the timeline to be short as there may not be many residents living in this development by 2018/2019. The developer noted they are not willing to extend this timeline as they may wish to sell or develop the commercial property in 2019.

I would like to hear feedback from the community on the proposed temporary road connection to Hazeldean Road that could be provided until 2018 or Spring 2019. The revised plan of subdivision and the revised plan coloured concept plan are available on my website www.shadqadri.com .

Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca .

her songs.

It was quite an evening for the Jay/Mayo families who turned out not only to see these cousins perform but also to honour Grandmother Mayo, visiting here from Saskatchewan, on her 80th birthday. Indeed, the final song of the evening was a rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday” for her, sung by all present at the coffee shop.

This music evening performance was the first time that cousins Keli Jay and Jarret Mayo had performed together although both have strong musical credentials.

Keli, who is the daughter of Gaia Java co-owner Paul Jay, attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School and then Canterbury High School in Ottawa before attending Queens University in Kingston where she is now studying music with a major in voice. She has entertained at the Gaia Java shop on some previous occasions.

Jarret, an avid guitarist, took part of his musical training at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts where he met the Institute’s founder Sir Paul McCartney of Beatles fame.

Jarret began the music evening singing an old folk song while accompanying himself on the guitar. He followed this up with several others songs including “The Unwelcome Guest,” a song written by American singer/ songwriter Woody Guthrie and recorded by English folk, punk rock and protest song singer Billy Bragg in his 1998 album “Mermald Avenue”; “Wagon Wheel,” the Bob Dylan song best known as the signature song of the American string band Old Crow Medicine Show; “Cry Me A River,” a song written in 1953 which has been recorded by a host of performers such as Barbra Streisand in her 1963 debut album, country singer Crystal Gayle in 1978, Justin Timberlake, Michael Buble and Diana Krall; and “The Weight (Take A Load Off Annie)”, a 1968 single by the Canadian/American group The Band which served as the backup band for Bob Dylan in the 1960’s.

Keli’s performance was chronologically based, as she sang one or more songs from each decade from the 1940’s through to the 1990’s, all of which were familiar well-known tunes of the time.

She began with “Tennessee Waltz,” written in 1946, which began a huge hit for singer Patti Page in 1950 and later on even became an official song of the state of Tennessee. This was followed by “When I Fall in Love,” a 1952 hit by Doris Day. Other songs from the 1950’s included “Fly Me To the Moon,” now considered a jazz standard but first recorded by American singer Kaye Ballard in 1954; “In the Still of the Night,” a song that can be heard in movies like “Dirty Dancing,” a 1987 American romantic drama film; “La Bamba,” a 1958 song by rock ‘n roll pioneer Ritchie Valens adapted from a Mexican folk song; and “Edleweiss,” a song from the 1959 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The Sound of Music named after a white flower that grows in the Alps.

Keli entered the 1960’s decade with Johnny Cash’s 1963 song “Ring of Fire” which happened to be the biggest hit song of his career. She then went on to seven more songs from the sixties including “All My Loving” by the Beatles from the group’s 1963 album “With the Beatles”; “The Sound of Silence,” (1964) by the American music duo Simon & Garfunkel; “I’ve Just Seen A Face,” by the Beatles from the 1965 album “Help!” in the United Kingdom; “Something Good,” (1965) from the film version of The Sound of Music; “God Only Knows” by the Beach Boys in 1966; “I Will” by the Beatles on the group’s 1968 album “The Beatles”; and “I Want You Back,” the 1969 hit by The Jackson 5.

The 1970’s saw more great music, with Keli performing three of its songs: “Moonshadow,” a 1971 song by British singer Cat Stevens; “Top of the World,” a 1972 release by the American vocal duo of Karen and Richard Carpenter; and “Thank You For the Music,” a 1977 song by the Swedish pop group ABBA. Moving into the 1980’s, Keli sang “The Safety Dance,” a 1983 song by the Canadian new wave band “Men Without Hats” and then “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” Whitney Houston’s 1987 hit that won a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Keli completed her performance with the only song from the 1990’s but a song of special significance from 1995 as it was written by her father Paul Jay, had been sung to her by her mother Susan Mayo and has her name in its title “Kelly Danielle’s Lullaby.”

This was the final Friday music evening held at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop with it under the ownership of Paul Jay and Paul Melsness. As of Monday, Feb. 1, the shop’s ownership and operation changed to new owners Dan Godkin and Bernie McNaught. But while there has been a change of ownership, the Friday music evenings are going to continue under the new owners.

She’s a grade eight student, a ringette player, a football quarterback, a boxing enthusiast and, yes, even an entrepreneur.

Sarah Doiron, 13, who attends Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, is all of these things but she still maintains high marks in school. She attributes this to being really organized and keeping her priorities straight. As for being an entrepreneur, she and her mother Gabby operate “G & S Vinyl Signs” which produces custom vinyl signs.

It all started off as a hobby but after posting some photographs of the signs online, requests starting coming in and the enterprise took off and became a business. Last year, for instance, they produced over 50 signs for customers including sports teams and others. Sarah and her mother produce the signs in a craft room in their home. Price varies by the size of the size being done, with virtually any size possible.

Sarah is hoping that the business John Curry/Metroland grows even bigger, although she Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade eight admits that with school and her instudent Sarah Doiron holds a couple of the signs volvement in sports, it is challenging made by the business “G & S Signs” which she and to be in business as well.

But she says that she has become proficient at making the signs and can now produce a sign in about two hours, working non-stop.

She particularly enjoys that this business gives she and her mother an opportunity to spend time together, sharing the business experience.

“We put our crafty talents to use,” Sarah says about how she and her mother operate the business.

She enjoys being in business, saying that it has been a learning experience that is allowing her to deal with real world problems. In addition, she notes that in the business she is learning to communicate with customers, something that is allowing her to grow beyond her innate shyness.

But besides her involvement with G & S Vinyl Signs, Sarah is an avid ringette player, having played the sport since she was five years old. She says that she has tried other winter sports but that there is something about ringette that continues to attract her to the sport. She likes that it is fast paced with a player not having time to stop and think during game action on the ice.

She plays for the West Ottawa Ringette Association, with a highlight so far being winning a gold medal at the ringette provincials a couple of years ago. She is on the ice five to six times a week during ringette season.

Sarah says that in ringette, she would rather get the assist than score a goal, saying she feels better setting up a play than finishing it with the goal. She hopes to go on to play ringette at the university level and then coach in the sport after that, allowing her to give back to the sport.

Besides ringette, Sarah also plays touch

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: I run a small business and I am currently in the process of looking for commercial space. Do I need a lawyer to review the lease?

A commercial lease is a complex legal document.

In addition to the usual but important commercial provisions such as the term of the lease and monthly rentals, there are numerous other commercial and legal provisions and terms that may significantly increase costs or may otherwise adversely affect your business.

Most commercial leases are not in a standard form and vary substantially from each other. This significantly complicates review by anyone other than the most experienced business person or professional advisor because even seemingly minor variations may have significant impact on costs or legal rights. A simple example is in respect of the leasehold improvements that a landlord builds for you at the commencement of the lease. You might expect, correctly, that those improvements belong to the landlord at the end of the lease. You might not expect that the lease may provide the Landlord with the option of requiring you to pay About Allan Snelling

“I’m too nice to fight,” she explains, although she likes to spar if it is just for fun.

She says that the one-week boxing camps did help her get stronger physically. She does not see attending another boxing camp because of the travel distance involved but boxing is still part of her life as she has her own punching bag in the basement and has her own boxing gloves, so she can do it right at her home.

Sarah has played soccer in the summer but this past summer, she tried softball instead. This coming summer, though, Sarah is planning to focus just on training for the upcoming ringette season, with the training to include running and cycling.

the cost of tearing out those improvements at the end of the term - yet some leases provide exactly that.

A Landlord has a legitimate interest in knowing who their tenant is, and thus many leases provide for restrictions on assignment. At the same time, you may wish to sell your business sometime in the future, and want to know that you can do so without being unfairly restricted by your landlord. In our experience, most landlords are willing to negotiate one-sided assignment restrictions to provisions that more fairly balance their concerns with your business objectives.

The commercial lease is often the first or second largest expense line after salaries and wages and accordingly requires careful consideration. A lawyer with experience in commercial leasing matters can review your lease and provide you with comments and advice enabling you to obtain a commercial leasing arrangement that meets your business’ needs.

Art on display at Sacred Heart John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s art, art and more art now on display in the second floor art gallery at Sacred Heart Catholic High School.

All done by grade 12 students, the art is being displayed in an exhibition called “Properties of Imagination” that opened on Tuesday, Jan. 19 and will continue until Friday, Feb. 26.

The exhibition features 40 paintings of different sizes, colours and styles, with each of the participating students having two works on display. A number of mediums are used including mixed media, graphite pencil on paper, acrylic paint on canvas, polyfilla and acrylic paint and polyfilla, tissue paper and acrylic on canvas.

The subjects are varied, ranging from a typewriter to a cat to an astronaut to a deer to a surfer and more.

Each painting includes an explanation written by the artist outlining the painting process used, the meaning of the work and what influenced the artist’s style and subject.

Sacred Heart art teacher Leydin Mullally points out that this exhibition forms part of the final assessment for students in her grade 12 art class. She says that the subject matter of the art on display is varied because the exhibition is meant to showcase the art that is most inspiring and meaningful to each of the participating students. Each student has two works on display, representing either what the students consider their best work or a work that means a lot to them.

One of these grade 12 student artists is Caroline Baillie whose pair of works in the exhibit include one entitled “Generations” and another called “Lake Clear.”

“Generations” is an enlarged version of a vintage

photograph of her grandparents, a photograph which Caroline says means a lot to her father. Her painting is a pencil drawing using a technique called photo realism that not only allows for capturing minute details but also keeps the black and white theme of the original photograph.

She used eraser pencils to keep the crisp edges that one would fine in a real photograph. There is no background, just like in the original photograph. In addition, this lack of a background allows the viewer’s attention to stay focussed on the two people in the painting.

“Lake Clear” is the scene of a lake surrounded by the colours of fall.

This is a scene from a balcony that has fond memories for Caroline as she and her family used to go to her grandmother’s every Thanksgiving and she always found the view from the balcony to be a pretty scene with lots of colours prevailing.

The colourful painting involved a lot of mixing of colours and overlapping lighter shades with darker ones. It is a style heavily influenced

by French painter Claude Monet and his works on impressionism.

Caroline herself hopes to study animation at Algonquin College in the fall, keeping her involvement with art.

“Art lets us express what is in our heads,” she says about art and painting.

Another grade 12 student whose art is on display in this exhibition is Olivia Nycholat who has been taking art since grade nine.

Her two works in the exhibition are “A Wolf’s Reflection,” using acrylic paint on canvas, and “Grounded,” a graphite pencil work of two owls.

Olivia says that she has always been interested in animals and nature and art is a course where she

“A Wolf’s Reflection” shows a wolf peering at an image of itself. She has used the contrast in colour between the dark colours of the surrounding rock and water and the lighter colour of the wolf and its reflection not only to imitate impressionism but also to make the wolf the focal point of the painting.

“Grounded” is a photo realism project with a theme of wildlife and its preservation that was inspired by the work of naturalist painter Robert Bateman.

Ropes binding two owls to a hedge is a commentary on the practice of keeping exotic animals in captivity.

The work features a contrast between the two owls and the background, a contrast not only created by a difference between light and dark but also by a difference in detail.

Done using a grid technique, this work took Olivia from September to December to complete because of its many fine details.

Although it took a lot of time and effort, she admits that she is very pleased with the finished work, calling it her favourite work done in the class.

Olivia hopes to join the school’s art club for next semester and expects to continue doing some art as she goes on to study science, specifically biology, in the fall. She says that she loves doing art but does not want to make it her job in life.

She admits that while she loves science as well, sometimes science can get stressful and that’s when she likes to turn to art to relieve the stress.

“Inspiration” and “Memories by the Sea” are the two works which grade 12 student Lauren Hutchings has in the exhibition.

“Inspiration” is a graphite pencil work on paper that features a dual face – half of it being Mahatma Gandhi’s face and half of it being Martin Luther King Jr.’s face.

She originally had thought of just doing Gandhi’s face in a peaceful and happy way but she then came across this image of the dual face and opted to create it.

She believes that Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. are the two most inspirational people in history and she draws inspiration from both of them as she tries to be a caring and respectful person who looks out for others.

The work features dramatic shading from light to dark which serves to add depth and value to the image. “Memories by the Sea,� an acrylic on canvas, is a scene based on a photograph of Lauren as a youngster and her

grandfather on a beach in Newfoundland. It is a photograph that has a lot of happy memories for Lauren and is particularly meaningful to her now as her grandfather passed away a year ago.

The painting required a lot of layering of the paint which means adding paint to paint before it dries so that the two colours can blend together.

Lauren, who has taken art since grade eight, hopes to take some classes in art when she attends Bishop’s University in the fall. She will be studying psychology, particularly mental illness and disease, and so for her art is not going to be her career path. But it will continue to play a part in her life. “Art will always be a side hobby interest,� she says as she looks into her future.

Other students whose art is on display in this exhibition include Jenna Hughes, Mikhaila Kavanagh, Megan Smith, Cooper Emslie, Chantelle Martin, Anna Denesyk, Carolyn Tremblay-Cochrane, Farrah Youssef, Daniella Cimafranca, Adeline Aryavong, Sarah van Galder, Jordan Porter, Beth Figoni, Jamie Carpini and Molly Rowe.

Video about Lions Club at open house meeting John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

It was like “Lions Club 101.”

At the open house meeting of the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Jan. 27, a power point video which was presented outlined not only the history of Lions International but also outlined much of the work and fundraising which the Stittsville District Lions Club has done in the Stittsville community since the Club was formed in 1964.

Lions Club member Paul Riddell served as the narrator for the video, verbally explaining the various points and observations made on the screen as the video progressed.

Lion Paul is the Club’s membership chair.

Lions were founded by businessman Melvin Jones in 1917 in Chicago and became international in scope with the founding of a club in Windsor, ON in 1920.

In 1925, Helen Keller, who was blind and deaf, challenged Lions International in 1925 to become “Knights of the Blind.” This was the beginning of the involvement of Lions Clubs in helping the blind and visually impaired.

Lions International has grown to become the largest service organization in the world, with its motto “We Serve.” There are today over 46,000 Lions Clubs around the world, with a total membership of about 1.4 million. Lions Clubs are present in over 200 countries.

The Stittsville District Lions Club was formed in 1964 with 27 initial members.

Thank you to foster parents like Abby who help us create

The work of foster parents is critical to the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. Our foster parents provide stability for children and youth, which minimizes their stress as they go through difficult times.

We hope our foster parents know just how appreciated they are by their foster children, and by us.

Thanks to all of you for everything that you do!

“Being a foster parent for the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa has de finitely enriched my life. There’s been so much personal growth and memorable life experi ences that I’ve gained. Caring for a child, working with their biological families and em ployees from the agency has been such a col laborative effort.”

“I’m extremely grateful tha t I can make a small difference everyday.

It changes your perspective on life, you com e to truly value the little things.” - Abby, Foster Parent

Lions Clubs try to help those in need and also help their communities meet their needs.

In 1979, the Stittsville District Lions Club constructed its Medical Centre building on Stittsville Main Street in order to attract a doctor to the community which did not at that time have a local doctor in the community. In 1987, an addition was added to this Medical Centre building.

The Stittsville District Lions Club has also helped develop Alexander Grove ball diamond in Stittsville.

The Lions Club replaced the lights at the ball diamond and installed a scoreboard which is named in memory of Lion Denzil Graham. The Lions Club also erected a pavilion at Alexander Grove, naming it after Lion Ron Martin.

The Stittsville District Lions Club also provided the time clock and the ice plant at what is now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville.

The Lions Club rents its Lions Hall in the basement of the Medical Centre building to various groups for meetings and parties. The Lions Club sponsors sports teams in the community.

Current fundraising activities by the Stittsville District Lions Club include weekly euchre parties, Relay

Lions Clubs also support various camps such as Camp Dorset for people suffering from kidney disease; Camp Banting for people suffering from diabetes; and Camp Joseph for children who are blind.

Depression woes handled thanks to Uncle Lou’s generous gift The Depression had closed in on us. There were bills to pay. Always there was enough food for the table, but no money for other essentials, like coal oil, flour, sugar, a piece of harness that had to be replaced, cough medicine and other necessities, causing Mother and Father to run up bills at “Briscoes,” and the

drug and hardware stores.

The few dollars Father and Everett made in the bush on Saturdays did little to help. I had even untied the corner of my hanky from my washstand to add a few pennies to the pot, but I could only come up with 17 cents.

None of my prayers seemed to be working.

Just after breakfast that morning the phone rang. Mother was well known for her sticky buns and someone wanted to know if she could make a few dozen for a dinner the Oddfellows were holding. And yes, they would be glad to pay whatever she was asking, and could she have them in to Renfrew

by Saturday? If she made four dozen buns that would mean an extra two dollars! Two dollars badly needed.

Our good fortune wasn’t to end there. Everett came home from school with a “cheque” from the school board for three dollars, his pay for going to the school every morning in the winter to start the fire and clean out the ashes. Without a word, he handed the cheque over to Mother. It still wasn’t enough to cover the bills but it was a help.

The week was going far too quickly to suit me. The next day, coming home from school, I plucked the mail out of the box at the end of our long lane. There were two letters, and I recognized the writing immediately. One was from Uncle Lou in New York, who wrote Mother regularly, and one from Aunt Freda

in Chicago, who wrote only when she had something important to say.

Mother sat at the end of the table looking like she was glad to take a break from working. She opened Uncle Lou’s letter first, and out fell a $100 bill! I had never seen a $100 bill in my entire life. Uncle Lou, in his letter, said he had just landed the job of doing some work on the Empire State Building and wanted to share his good fortune with his sister. Mother, of course, broke into tears and I felt obliged to do the same.

With little interest, Mother got around to opening Aunt Freda’s letter and inside, right before our eyes, was a crisp $5 bill, with instructions that Mother was to go to Ritza’s Drug Store and buy a packet of valentines for the children to take to the Northcote School.

I knew it would never see Ritza’s Drug Store.

I was sent to the barn to fetch Father. By the time he came into the kitchen, Mother had all the money laid out in a row on the table. I had no idea why we were all crying when there was so much joy in the air!

I ran my hand over the money on the table.

“It never rains but it pours, eh, Mother?” was all I could think to say.

Dutch apple pastry Shrove Tuesday pancake supper Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Apples are one of the most used fruits in the Dutch kitchen, in both savoury and sweet dishes. These hand held pastries are easily made with prepared puff pastry, apples and the fragrant spice, cardamom.

Nutmeg or cinnamon could be used instead if desired.

Preparation time: 15 minutes Baking time: 20 minutes Makes nine INGREDIENTS 1 sheet (250 g) butter puff pastry, thawed 2 cups (500 mL) diced, peeled apples (about 3) ½ cup (125 mL) dried cranberries 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp (25 mL) granulated sugar ½ tsp (2 mL) ground cardamom Icing sugar PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS On lightly floured surface, place puff pastry; lightly flour and roll out to 12- x 12-inch (30 x 30 cm) square. Cut into nine 4-inch (10

cm) squares. Transfer squares to two parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheets.

In medium bowl, toss apples and cranberries with lemon juice.

In small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cardamom until evenly blended. Sprinkle over apples and toss to combine.

Divide apple mixture between pastry squares, leaving narrow edges (1/4-inch/5 mm) bare. Place baking sheets on oven racks in top and bottom thirds in 400°F (200º°C) oven. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes, switching baking sheets on racks halfway, or until pastry is golden brown.

Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Enjoy warm or room temperature.

Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Shrove Tuesday is coming and you know what that means.

Yes, it means that the penitential season of Lent begins the next day, Ash Wednesday, but it also means a time of enjoying a feast of pancakes.

It all happens this Tuesday, Feb. 9 which is Shrove Tuesday. And one place to enjoy a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper is at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond.

This Shrove Tuesday pancake supper will run from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9, with everyone welcome to attend.

There will not only be lots of pancakes but also back bacon, sausages, baked beans and apple crisp, along with tea, coffee or juice.

And the cost will only be $10 for adults, $5 for children aged 6 to 12 years and free for those five years old and under.

For tickets, please call Kaye at 613-838-5432 and leave a message.

Shrove Tuesday, which is also called Pancake Tuesday in some countries, is marked on the day before the first day of Lent which

is Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday are both moveable days on the calendar, determined by when Easter happens.

Indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming 40 days of Lent is associated with Shrove Tuesday. Pancakes are associated

*

with Shrove Tuesday because they are a way of using up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting associated with Lent.

It has become a common practice in Canada to eat pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday which is Shrove or Pancake Tuesday.

September 5, 1945 – January 28, 2016 Canadian Hydrographic Service, DFO (Retired) Queen’s Silver Jubilee and 125 Anniversary of Confederation Medal 1992 Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal 2002 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our Dad, Jake Kean on January 28, 2016, at the Smiths Falls Hospital, after an incredible battle against cancer.

Anyone who has ever met our Dad knows his sense of humor and charisma, whereas he wanted to share his last journal entry: I am the son of the late Audrey and Jack Kean.

I checked out of Hotel Life after a gratifying existence of 70 years. In my untimely haste, I leave behind my loving daughter Chantelle (or Stella as she likes to be called and her fiancé Pete) and my cherished grandsons Diesel and Hunter, my loving son Chadwick (Angie) and my special granddaughters Penelope and Phoebe, and my spouse Shirley of 43 years.

Also surviving me are my supportive brother Mike (late Linda), loving sisters Janine (Frank) and Shelley (Larry), several nieces and nephews, as well as multiple friends and colleagues from the past 70 years.

In discussions, all have expressed their best wishes for a successful search for Jack, Audrey, and my twin brother of 70 years, John Anthony (I think I know where he is hiding).

Many “thank you” to all the excellent Doctors and Nursing Staff who tried to keep me from departing during my courageous battle.

At my request, there will be no funeral services, as I have been cremated. For those wishing to do so, I ask that any donation be directed to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) or a charity or your choice.

Please enjoy a wonderful stay in Hotel Life.

Cheers, Jake. www.barkerfh.com

Graeme has finally used up all of his nine lives and passed away at the Queensway Carleton Hospital on Jan. 29.

2016 in his 84th year. A native of England Graeme served with the Royal Air Force from Scott - Graeme 1951 to 1953.He attended Imperial College University of London and then worked a year at Mullard, (a Brit electronics component manufacturer) before emigrating to Canada in 1957. While working as a designer of test equipment at Northern Electric in Montreal he was a co-designer of a machine called Cerberus which was a radical for its time and used highspeed paper tape programmed to verify the correctness of freshly manufactured telephone switching equipment. He joined G.P.I. computers, moving to Control Data Canada in 1966. He rejoined Northern Electric at its research and development laboratories in Ottawa in 1967 and became manager of the computer technology centre at Bell Northern Research. Graeme also lectured in computer science at the University of Ottawa. In 1973 he co-authored an article entitled “Grapple”, an interactive computer graphics language.

Graeme’s enthusiasm for innovation was infectious and was amplified by his dry wit. He was one of the many BNR contributors who were paid to have fun and change the world in the bargain. His last contributions were related to using networked personal computers to facilitate video teleconferencing and the exchange of ideas between and among humans separated by distance. Graeme was one of the founding members of the Kanata Theatre Group. He enjoyed many hobbies which included horseback riding. He loved to tell the story of tying his horse up outside BNR while he attended a meeting. He studied photography, astronomy and derived great enjoyment turning our home into a “smart house” He is survived by his loving wife and partner of 33 years Anne Cushing Courrier Hutchison. Daughters Felicity (Doug Hunter), Caledon, Julie (Bill Sullivan), Victoria, and his son Richard of Ottawa. He will be sadly missed by his stepdaughters Brenda Cushing Ottawa and Donna Courrier (Matt McGarvey) Russell. His grandchildren who loved him dearly Jaimie, Lauren, Graeme and Sara of Victoria, B.C. and Justin (Stevenson) Ottawa. He is also survived by his first wife and friend Rosemary (Pick) England.

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

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 A burst of optimism has you moving toward a new goal, Aries. This positive frame of mind can propel you to the finish line quickly, but make each decision carefully.

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, new revelations may inspire you to make some long-desired changes. Write down all of your plans so you can see them on paper and weigh all of your priorities.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 An old friend you haven’t seen in a while may suddenly reappear in your life, Gemini. This person may take you on a fun trip down memory lane.

Enjoy the laughs.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Expect a change of circumstances at work, Cancer. This change may come by way of a transfer or a promotion, or it might be something less significant. Embrace it in any case.

LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 A close friend of yours may suggest a last-minute trip, and you just may be game for an adventure, Leo. Pack all of your essentials and do not think too much, or you might back out.

VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a financial windfall may seem like a great thing on the surface, but it doesn’t come without a price. Resolve to be responsible with your newfound largesse.
