A Company of Fools presenting ‘As Your Like It’ Continued from page 1

There is no formal admission charge or tickets but “pass-the-had� donations are collected at the end of the performance to help with expenses related to the performance.

Those planning to attend are urged to take along a lawn chair or blanket for seating as well as bug spray. And don’t forget your sense of humour! “As You Like It� is a comedy which William Shakespeare is believed to have written in 1599 or early 1600.

The comedy follows its heroine Rosalind as

she feels persecution in her uncle’s court, accompanied by her cousin Celia and Touchstone, the court jester. They find safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden.

The play features one of Shakespeare’s most famous and oft-quoted monologues, “All the world’s a stage.� The play is also the origin of the phrase “Too much of a good thing.�

The play is always a favourite with audiences and has been adapted for radio, film and musical theatre. For instance, “As You Like It� was Laurence Olivier’s first Shakespeare film, performing in the role of Orlando. It was released in 1936.

NEW SUMMER 2014 PILATES PROGRAMS

Love your workout. For life.

• Introductory Matwork • Introductory Reformer

As with other romantic comedies by Shakespeare, “As You Like It� has love as a central theme. “As You Like It,� as performed by A Company of Fools, sees a motley crew of characters living in the Forest of Arden, driven there to escape family feuds and tyrannical leaders.

This place of exile becomes a hotbed of foolishness as the banished Rosalind, disguised in men’s attire, comes across her love Orlando.

Not wanting to be recognized, she calls herself Ganymede and offers to be Orlando’s servant of sorts. It is a typical Shakespearean ply that when a girl wears men’s clothing, she is instantly unrecognizable. Orlando agrees to take wooing lessons from Ganymede to ease the burden of his own broken heart over Rosalind.

Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, a band of castaways led by Rosalind’s exiled farther Duke Senior attempt to rediscover themselves. They seek out love, friendship and transformation in the chaos of the forest where true romance eventually conquers all.

A Company of Fools has been entertaining audiences not only across the city of Ottawa but even across Canada since 1990 as a pro-

fessional Shakespeare company. It has built a reputation as a highly physical troupe doing interactive shows both indoors and outdoors as is the case with this upcoming performance at Alexander Grove.

A Company of Fools combines physical theatre techniques of clown, mask and puppetry with the classical text of Shakespeare.

The mandate of A Company of Fools is to produce innovative, entertaining and accessible shows based on the works of William Shakespeare.

A Company of Fools is a not-for-profit corporation as well as a registered charity.

This year’s production of “As You Like It�

by A Company of Fools, which is being presented in its Torchlight Shakespeare Tour of city of Ottawa parks, is being directed by Scott Florence. Featured actors are Catriona Leger, Matthew John Lundvall, Kate McArthur, Geoff McBride and Katie Ryerson.

Vanessa Imeson is in charge of costumes, sets and puppet design while Erin Finn is the stage manager. Katherine Dermott is the apprentice stage manager while Mitchel Johnson is the production assistant.

Cake Walk raises $2,325 News - The recent Cake Walk at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville was all about wishes.

ALC students were filled with wishes that day, hoping to be the winner of one of the 210 cakes that were part of this Cake Walk event.

This Cake Walk not only made many of these student wishes come true but also it helped make the wishes of other children come true as the proceeds were donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation through Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” campaign.

Tysen was fortunate enough to have his wish granted by the Make A Wish Foundation as he got to fly to Los Angeles and meet Adam Sandler, his favourite actor. He was inspired by Adam’s generosity and so decided that he too wanted to give back, just like Adam does.

This is how his Mission To A Mission campaign started, trying to raise one million dollars so that Make-A-Wish SUBMITTED Eastern Ontario could grant 100 wishes.

Waste Management has compiled feedback John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - People provided their views. Waste Management listened, compiled the feedback received and may consider the comments when finalizing the firm’s Environmental Compliance Approval submission to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.

This Environmental Compliance Approval is needed from the Ministry of the Environment before the proposed new landfill at Waste Management’s Carp Road site can proceed.

The Environmental Assessment done for this new landfill has been approved by the Ministry but now an Environmental Compliance Approval is needed as well.

The draft Environmental Compliance Approval documents prepared

by Waste Management including a design and operations report, an environmental monitoring plan and best

management practices were posted on Waste Management’s website for review and comment from the public from May 15 to June 16.

In addition, Waste Management hosted an open house on Thursday, June 5 to provide the public with an opportunity to discuss and view the draft Environmental Compliance Approval materials.

Waste Management hosted a subsequent open house at the NeXT Restaurant in Stittsville on Thursday, June 26 to outline the comments received about the draft Environmental Compliance Approval documents.

Comments were received from about 20 stakeholders including the city of Ottawa, the “Don’t Let Ottawa Go To Waste” Coalition, Environment Canada and individuals.

Waste Management will now consider the comments received and these comments may influence the final Environmental Compliance Approval submission which Waste Management makes to the Ontario

Ministry of the Environment.

In general, the comments received

by Waste Management were, in part, as follows: building a new landfill on an already contaminated site; lack of property for a buffer space zone for the new landfill; site is too close to businesses and homes; decrease of property values; and lack of a commitment to implement a community host agreement with the city of Ottawa.

With regard to the design and operations plan for the new landfill, comments included a view that the Environmental Compliance Approval document presents very little information on the diversion facilities that are to be part of the project; and changes to the design originally submitted with the Environmental Assessment does not include any evaluation of how these changes will impact the overall environmental status of the project.

With regard to traffic, concerns centred around the increased traffic

Minimum density for development - perhaps?

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa could be the first municipality in Ontario to set a minimum density for developments.

The quota would apply to certain areas currently being rezoned as part of a project to ensure land-use rules match the goals set out in the city’s new Official Plan.

Right now, the city often looks at maximum densities for new developments in most areas.

The new policy would change that for certain target areas throughout the city.

The new calculations will give the city a basis to examine whether development proposals can deliver the density builders claim, and more importantly, that the densities can be achieved

without a need for a rezoning.

“We’re trying to level the playing field,” said Beth Desmarias, the city planner in charge of the density calculations.

The minimums are aimed at promoting high-density development in certain target areas, including: * Central area, including the business district * Arterial main streets, including Richmond Road north of Carling Avenue, St. Laurent Boulevard, Bank Street (south), Merivale Road, Montreal Road (east), Ogilvia Road, Walkley Road, Innes Road * Town centres in Orleans, Kanata and Barrhaven and Riverside South * Mixed-use centres, including Lees, Tunney’s Pasture, Bayview-Preston, Blair, Hurd-

to the site.

With regard to the Environmental Monitoring Plan for the new landfill, input included the comment that the groundwater monitoring program does not include the monitoring of private wells within three kilometers of the landfill site.

With regard to the surface water best management practice put forward by Waste Management, concern was expressed about the potential contamination of surface water that could infiltrate into the ground water of the site.

With regard to the groundwater best management practice put forward by Waste Management, concerns were submitted about the potential for increased underground water contamination and the lack of a implementation plan for a purge well system at the site.

With regard to the biology best management practice put forward by Waste Management, concerns were expressed regarding the cutting of

man, Confederation Heights, Billings Bridge, Tremblay, St. Laurent and Cyrville A map with the specific locations it will apply to will be posted in the public consultation section of ottawa.ca under “zoning review.”

The data is based on employment and retail studies the city completes every other year. Any developers who don’t agree with the density calculations could challenge it with their own research and if the planning committee agrees with a developer’s study, it would amend the entire density calculation table that would apply to all new developments in the priority areas.

The Building Owners and Managers Association of Ottawa has appealed the Official Plan to the Ontario Municipal Board and the minimum densities is one of the issues the group is concerned with, said the group’s executive director, Dean Karakasis.

“Overall we believe that this, like other sections of the Official Plan, are too prescriptive and the city will find that it limits the ability for developers to put together good design, good developments and overall good ideas for different parts of town,” Karakasis wrote in an

mature trees on the site.

With regard to the air best management practice put forward by Waste Management, a concern was expressed regarding the idling of vehicles on the site and how this will be minimized.

There were also concerns expressed about the noise best management practice and the odour best management practice as well as the gas best management practice put forward by Waste Management.

This new landfill site, as proposed, is to receive up to 400,000 metric tones per year.

At the June 26 open house, more than 30 information boards were set up around the room where the open house took place. Many of these boards were from the earlier open house while a number of the boards were new ones, outing the public feedback received by Waste Management in response to its draft Environmental Compliance Approval documents.

email.

The minimum density calculations are just one part of a much larger “zoning review” for which the city is currently seeking feedback.

All the projects – from density studies to additional infill rules to zoning for certain main streets throughout the city – are the final step in implementing the growth goals set out in the city’s new Official Plan. But very few people came out to view the plans at a June 17 open house at city hall.

“This is pretty dry stuff,” said Chris Bradshaw, a Sandy Hill resident who visited the open house.

The review now will ensure that zoning – the details on what kinds of residential, commercial or industrial use can occupy a property and how big the building can be – match what the city has called for in the blueprint of how Ottawa will grow, its Official Plan. That’s a big deal for planning committee chairman Peter Hume, who has been promising land-use certainty to communities and developers for the last two years. The goal is to reduce the number of much-maligned “spot rezonings” the city approves at the behest of developers.

On Monday, June 9th, in my latest Councillor for Hire installment, I had the opportunity to spend some time at a company I drive by all the time but never really knew what it was. You’ve likely driven by Epoke North America countless times, as well. Its North American headquarters is located on Huntley Road, at FallowďŹ eld Road, and is a company that manufactures and distributes machinery and equipment for icy and slippery roads control applications in Europe, North America, and internationally. It offers sand and salt spreaders, liquid spreaders, combination spreaders, and airport spreaders, as well as sweepers, snow plows, and professional grass mowers for tractors and trucks; and related control systems and data acquisition equipment. The company also provides spare parts and repair services. It serves customers through a network of distributors.

While I was there for the day, I learned about their operations, their business partners across North America and their role in the City of Ottawa. They currently do business with the City and offer equipment that, while sometimes more expensive, offers long term efďŹ ciencies due to the technology incorporated into their salt spreaders and liquid spreaders and so on. As is the case sometimes, spending more money up front can save a lot more in the long term.

Epoke also prides itself on their commitment to the environment saying their equipment can save any business or municipality time, money and the environment. In today’s world, these are obviously important factors. If being green can save money, I’m all for it.

You can ďŹ nd more information about epoke at epokena.com. Thanks to Mike Bergeron for the invite and showing me around the property. We have many great companies and the Councillor for Hire program is certainly a great opportunity to learn more about the businesses and the business operators that I represent in Rideau-Goulbourn.

City launches new online payment feature The City has launched a new online feature allowing payment cards (credit cards and Interac Online) for online payment of accounts receivable (blue) invoices as part of continuing service improvements to residents.

Resulting from resident requests for more exible online payment options, MasterCard, VISA and American Express, as well as Interac Online will now be accepted to make secure online payments for accounts receivable invoices as a new payment service.

Residents and businesses have asked for more exible online payment options, and this service enhancement will make it easier and more convenient for residents and businesses to process their invoices with the City. Rather than having to mail a cheque or visit a Client Service Centre, residents and businesses will be able to make their payments through ottawa.ca.

The invoices, known as blue invoices because of the colour of paper on which they are printed, are usually issued for services such as facility rentals, property standards by-law infractions, returned cheques and motor vehicle damage to City assets. Clients who wish to pay their accounts receivable invoices online will be charged a 1.99 per cent service fee for transactions equal to or over $750. The City of Ottawa does not receive any part of the service fee which is charged by the third party payment processor, Paymentus Corporation.

To pay your accounts receivable (blue) invoice online and to see other payment options, visit ottawa.ca.

Motorcycle, car rally to raise funds for service dogs John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Wheels will be rolling this Saturday, July 5 to raise funds to provide service dogs for Canadian military veterans.

Called “Rally Fur Paws,” it is the Stittsville Legion’s inaugural motorcycle and car rally to support the provision of service dogs for veterans.

Service dogs could be guide dogs for vision impairment or dogs performing any other function to help improve the quality of life of veterans.

Anyone can take part in this “Ral-

ly Fur Paws” – just show up at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street this Saturday, July 5 between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. to register for the event. It’s being advertized as $30 for a rider or driver and $10 per passenger. And then at 10 a.m., off you will go on the 200 kilometer rally – either on a motorcycle and in a car. Organizers are hoping for at least 85 participants but hopefully even more will turn out to support the cause. The rally will go ahead rain or shine.

There will be stops at four Legions along the route, with games

and sports contests being offered to give a little break to the rally participants. These other branches are the Carleton Place, Constance Bay, Manotick and Kanata Legions. There will even be a light lunch available at the Constance Bay Legion.

The rally will also have a poker run feature, with participants receiving a card at each stop.

Parade marshal for the rally will be Jody Mitic, a double amputee veteran who still rides his own motorcycle. He gained fame as a participant on the Amazing Race Canada show.

It is expected that rally partici-

pants will be back at the Stittsville Legion Hall by 3 p.m. where there will be lots going on – a BBQ, a canine demonstration and musical entertainment provided by the classic rock band “Men ‘n Pause.” There hopefully will be an inflatable castle for the enjoyment of youngsters.

Members of the public are most welcome to drop by the Legion Hall between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. to enjoy these activities and meet Jody Mitic and also meet another rally participant, Medric Cousineau who is a service dog advocate as evidenced by his “Paws Fur Thought” campaign.

This idea of holding a motorcycle and car rally to support service dogs for veterans was put forward by Bob Steadman and Christine Philipson and has been embraced by the Stittsville Legion. There are hopes that it will become an annual event.

Involved with this “Rally Fur Paws” is The Defenders, a riding group with military connections in Ottawa. The Defenders started as a service group at CFB Borden in 1984 and currently has eight chapters including one in the Ottawa area.

Afghanistan Poppy Memorial Special to the News

News - The Afghanistan Poppy Memorial will be at the “Rally Fur Paws” event at the Stittsville Legion this Saturday, July 5.

This Afghanistan Poppy Memorial was in the Senate chambers on Parliament Hill on the recent National Day of Honour on Friday, May 9 earlier this year.

This Memorial is made up of military artifacts from Afghanistan including poppies formally laid in Kandahar to commemorate fallen solders. This memorial, which is meant to be transported around the country, holds a special significance for families of the fallen soldiers in Afghanistan.

Any members of the public who wish to view this Afghanistan Poppy Memorial are welcome to drop into the Stittsville Legion this coming Saturday afternoon, July 5th.

This memorial was constructed from pieces of a Badger army tank that ran over an improvised explosive device in July, 2008 in Afghanistan and subsequently burned for 12 hours.

Poppies taken from the last Remembrance ceremony in Kandahar in 2011 have been placed on the memorial. Each poppy represents a Canadian serviceman or woman who died in Afghanistan.

It was at the last Canadian Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan on Nov. 11, 2011 that these poppies were placed on plaques by LieutenantGeneral Jonathan Vance, with the then-Minister

of National Defence the Hon. Peter MacKay reading off the names of the fallen who were being honoured with a plaque and poppy.

The next day, this Kandahar Air Field monument began to be dismantled for its return to Canada. At that time, Lt. Gen. Vance removed all of the poppies from the monument and gave them into the care of Warrant Officer Renay Groves.

It was Warrant Officer Renay Groves from 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment at Canadian Forces Base Kingston who was the one who put together a team to create this Afghanistan Poppy Memorial.

The Memorial is topped by a maple leaf carved out of the back deck of the destroyed tank, with the face of the maple leaf still showing the damage from the explosion.

The maple leaf sits on a wheel support and JOHN CURRY/METROLAND an engine hatch which has one handle still wrecked from the blast. A brass 105mm shell Bob Steadman of the Stittsville Legion, who is also a member of The Defenders motorcycle casing bears the names of the 161 Canadian sol- group, sits on his 1974 BMW motorcycle. He will be participating in the “Rally Fur Paws” motorcycle and car rally at the Stittsville Legion this coming Saturday, July 5. diers who died in Afghanistan.

The poppies from Kandahar, now bronzed, circle the memorial. The whole memorial rests on a tank wheel. The Memorial is circular to represent how Canadian soldiers surround their nation to protect it.

The poppies have been placed at random on the Memorial to represent the randomness of the deaths and the entire monument rotates so that no part of it is more prominent than any other.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Living under the gun

O

ttawa police are investigating the latest incident of gun-related violence in Herongate, after two men staged a wild-west style shootout in the streets of the south Ottawa community in broad daylight on June 17.

Such a brazen display of violence – which could have resulted in the death of an innocent bystander – should have lit a fuse among city councillors.

But so far city hall’s collective silence has been deafening.

Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, who represents the embattled neighbourhood, was dismissive when asked if a collaborative effort among police, city officials, tenants and property owners might help improve neighbourhod safety. “To do what?� said Hume in an interview earlier this month with the Ottawa South News. “To prevent two people from having an argument?�

The councillor went on to say that Herongate residents don’t have to worry about being on a street corner and having some car drive by and shoot at you.

While the recent shooting was a targeted attack according to Ottawa police, we beg to differ.

In March, police investigated a shooting near the Herongate Mall.

Only a year earlier, someone shot at a vehicle filled with people during an early-morning drive-by shooting.

In 2011, the city had 23 shootings; in 2012: 32 shootings, 2013: 30 shootings and year to date in 2014: 18 shootings. Eventually, a bystander will get caught in the crossfire.

Hume’s suggestion that more “boots on the ground� are needed is a welcome one – but perhaps a more appropriate forum for that suggestion would be an open meeting, where he could speak directly to his constituents.

The number of gun crimes in south Ottawa should be a top item on city council’s radar.

If the neighbours’ consensus that things are getting worse is unfounded, the city and and the police should say so in an open public meeting addressing a serious community safety concern.

Is it time for a new Canadian mythology?

C

anadians think they have a pretty good sense of who they are, especially as summer kicks in.

We all wear red on Canada Day, then hop into our cars and vans and head up to the lake, where we splash about, listen to the loons and behave, within reason, something like those happy folks in the beer commercials.

It’s a comforting self-image, especially comforting in the endless cold winter months, when we behave like the other kind of Canadians -- buried in winter clothing as we dig the car out and try not to think about Florida.

Well, it’s sad when our notions about ourselves are challenged, but it happens. As in a short note contained in a clump of statistics in a recent Globe and Mail. According to a sur-

news

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town vey by the website travelocity.ca, 83 per cent of Canadians did not get out of town for a long weekend last year.

Really? Many questions arise, one of which concerns the fact that a mere 17 per cent of us can still clog the highways on the way to the lake.

Imagine if we all did what we expect ourselves to do, namely head out of town.

Now, a whole cottage industry, as it were, has been built on the notion that Canadians are an outdoorsy peoVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ple. Sure, most of us live in cities, but we can’t wait to get out of them. We want to sit on the dock, drink beer around the campfire, make love in a canoe, catch a big bass, have nature walks with our kids, read mystery books in hammock, tell stories about bears we almost saw.

Advertisers pitch commercials to us, celebrating that image. Newspapers and magazines feature lifestyle articles about cottage real estate. But something has gone wrong. Perhaps the rapidly escalating cost of cottage properties has finally had its effect.

Perhaps it’s the cost of gasoline.

Have we, and the people who market to us, been wrong all these years?

surrounded by pine trees. Now we have to contemplate the idea that the typical Canadian spends his summer weekends cowering in an apartment, wearing shoes and watching Netflix in the air conditioning.

But can you do that, be a city person, and feel like a real Canadian in the summertime? The consolation is that you are in good company. On any given long weekend, the great majority of the population is with you, smelling the exhaust fumes and not hearing loons.

So maybe what you should be doing, while the other 17 per cent frolic in the lake, is come up with a brand new Canadian mythology.

Perhaps the mythical new Canadian is an environmentalist who cuts greenhouse gas emissions by not driving on the weekends. Perhaps he is a nature lover who spares the birds and animals the terror of fireworks going off in the middle of the night.

Pumpkins of many colours, sizes planted at Saunders Farm John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Saunders Farm at Munster, known for its Haunted Halloweens, will have pumpkins of various colours and varied sizes this fall.

That’s because there are about 20 varieties of pumpkins and squash planted at Saunders Farm this year. This will result in a selection of pumpkins this fall that will featured many different colours from red to blue to white and a variety of sizes, ranging from 3 pounds to 60 pounds.

Pumpkins are not just orange any more, Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm says, noting that pumpkins are not just used as jack ‘o lanterns but have other uses including even as soup bowls. He attributes this trend to the “Martha Stewart influence� with its focus on home decorating and baking.

The variety of pumpkins will be a feature when school groups tour the Farm before Halloween. Students will be able to see and find out about all the different kinds of pumpkins which are now available.

Saunders Farm at Munster is open from Tuesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

It will be closed on most Mondays although it

will be open on holiday Mondays.

Saunders Farm prides itself on being known as a place for family fun. It has over 30 attractions on the grounds include two jumping pillows, ten mazes, a splash pad, a pedal carts track, puppet shows, play structures, wagon rides and a gem mine. The Discovery Barn is being re-vamped and should be ready in early July – a fun experience for kids.

A very special day at Saunders Farm will be Sunday, July 13 when the Farm’s Kids Musical Adventure day will be part of the Music and Beyond Festival.

It is expected that there will be 100 musicians found all around the farm on this special day. In addition, featured performers will be Junkyard Symphony, Kati Gabor and the Star Child Puppets and the Maple Leaf Brass Band. There will also be an instrument petting zoo.

The new Farmers’ Table Restaurant, now under the direction of chef Whitney Toogood, is offering real food featuring local ingredients.

This is to be food that is good for you and helps create cherished family memories, just like all the fun activities at the Farm already do.

In addition, Saunders Farm is introducing a Family Picnic Basket for four people. So, you can visit the Farm, order this Family Picnic

Basket and then enjoy a great family picnic together. Now that’s summertime living at its best!

Saunders Farm will be introducing “Farm to Table� dinners this summer. These will be all-

local menus that will also include local craft beers and craft wines.

Galetta pair win tournament John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Lawn bowlers from five clubs were at the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s green beside the Goulbourn Town Hall at Stanley’s Corners on Thursday, June 26 to compete in the Club’s mixed pairs tournament.

Players from the Galetta, Brockville, Nepean and Highland Park lawn bowling clubs, as well as from the host Goulbourn club, participated in the tournament.

Sunny weather prevailed for the day-long tournament which saw the pair of Flo Silvestro and Rico Silvestro from the Galetta Lawn Bowling Club emerge as the winning duo.

They received the tournament championship trophy from George Burns-Nichol, president of the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club.

The tournament was sponsored by the Waterside Retirement Community at Carleton Place.

This state-of-the-art retirement community occupies a site overlooking the Mississippi River in Carleton Place.

If offers spacious suites ranging from studios to one bedroom and two bedroom spaces. Waterside at Carleton Place offers a full range of amenities and activities for residents with lots of nearby shopping and dining.

Waterside in Carleton Place is located at 105 McNeely Avenue, telephone 613-253-2010.

The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club welcomes any new members who want to take up or get back into lawn bowling. The cost of membership for new bowlers in their first year with the Club is only $60. The only equipment that a person needs are flat smooth soled

shoes and comfortable shorts and t-shirts. The club provides the lawn bowling balls known as “bowls.� It also provides instruction to help beginners learn the game.

This year lawn bowling is taking place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. And, as is the tradition at the Club, there will be refreshments and coffee available afterwards.

For more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the upcoming season, please contact Club president George BurnsNichol at 613-831-0939 or via email at gjbn@ rogers.com.

Lawn bowling is a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its noncontact nature. And, first and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air.

The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack� which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, parts of the United States, Japan and, of course, Canada.

It is felt that lawn bowling may have begun back in the 12th century but definitely the game was being played in 13th century in England.

This has been verified by a manuscript from the 13th century that contains a drawing representing two players aiming at a small cone.

Beat the Bite!

Are mosquitoes stopping you from enjoying your time outdoors? Mosquitoes aren’t just pesky and annoying; they can also be the source of disease, such as West Nile Virus.

West Nile Virus is a potentially serious illness that is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected mosquito. Research shows that four out of five people bitten by an infected mosquito do not show any symptoms. Those who do show symptoms will experience mild illness including fever, headache, body aches, nausea and/or vomiting, and occasionally a skin rash on the trunk of the body. Some individuals - particularly the elderly - may develop permanent neurological damage due to encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), that can result in death.

To reduce the risks associated with West Nile Virus, Ottawa Public Health is urging residents to take steps to limit their exposure to mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile Virus.

Mosquitoes are attracted to and breed in water. Help get rid of mosquitoes around your home by reducing areas or objects that retain standing water. Some easy ways to reduce places where mosquitoes breed include: • Regularly empty containers that can collect water such as flower pots, pet dishes, pool covers, buckets, barrels.

• Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not in use.

• Regularly clean clogged eavestroughs.

• Remove unused tires that can collect water.

Some important tips to avoid West Nile Virus: • Apply an approved mosquito repellent containing DEET to exposed skin and clothing.

• Change the water in wading pools, bird baths and pet bowls twice per week.

• Cover rain barrels with screens.

• Use an aerator in garden ponds to keep surface water agitated; mosquito larvae will not survive.

• Wear long pants, a long sleeved shirt, shoes and socks to protect exposed skin.

• Keep swimming pools clean and properly chlorinated; remove standing water from pool covers.

• Wear light colours- mosquitoes are attracted to darker colours.

• Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left outdoors so that water can drain out.

• Avoid outdoor hours between dusk and dawn – periods when mosquitoes are most active.

• Make sure all windows and doors in your home have screens that are in good condition.

For more information or questions regarding mosquito prevention and West Nile Virus, visit ottawa.ca/WestNileVirus or contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580- 6744 (TTY: 613 580- 9596).

Awesome performance at Gaia Java shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Singer/guitarist David daCosta wasn’t feeling that well but despite this, he went ahead and performed at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday.

And what a performance as he mixed some well known cover songs with a number of his original tunes. Imagine if he and his voice had been 100 percent – what kind of performance would that have been!

As it was, his performance with its quiet, soothing melodies was awesome. He said at the beginning that he hoped

that the audience would groove to the music and that’s what happened – a bond quickly developed between performer and appreciative audience.

This was best illustrated

by David’s version of the Cat Stevens hit “Wild World” in which he had the audience singing along with the familiar refrain: “Oh baby, baby, it’s a wild world, It’s hard to get by just upon a smile, Oh baby, baby, it’s a wild world.”

It was a top 20 single for Cat Stevens for the English singer/songwriter who was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year. Indeed, “Wild World” was one of the

songs which he performed at his induction ceremony in New York.

David began his performance with two songs made famous by the British rock band Coldplay, namely “Green eyes” and “The Scientist.”

He presented a number of his own original tunes such as “Calm,” “Early Morning,” “Beautiful World” and “Ask Me For Yourself,” an original composition which featured a couple of whistling segments.

David also performed “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song originally written and composed by Prince and later made famous by Irish record-

ing artist Sinead O’Connor.

David daCosta is a 2009 graduate of the theatre and music program at the University of Ottawa. He did his first recording in 2010 and recently toured Northern Ontario and the Maritimes as an actor and musician with the theatre company Bear & Co. He recently released a three song demo which features an original sound with influences from electronica to folk. You can hear some of his original songs at his website at http://daviddacosta.bandcamp.com/ .

David also taught at one time at West End Music on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Musician Steve Geyer, who was one of the founders of West End Music, is a good friend of David daCosta and produced his recent songs.

The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville holds music evenings every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge but early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

Shannon Smith completes Kumon reading program in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

0703.R0012769811

Merilee Clarke, left, instructor at the Kumon Learning Centre in Stittsville, presents Shannon Smith, right, with a clock for having completed the Kumon reading program.

News - Kumon Learning Centre students in Stittsville try to grow and improve in their learning.

And when students reach a milestone moment on their road of learning at Kumon, that accomplishment is celebrated.

Shannon Smith is one of the students at Stittsville’s Kumon Learning Centre who has flourished in the reading program.

Shannon, who has been in grade nine, has finished the grade 12 level English program at Kumon. And she has done this quickly, beginning in Feb. 2013 and working through ten Kumon levels since then. This is the equivalent of six grades in school.

Shannon’s name is now one of those in a star at the top of the Kumon reading achievement ladder which is on a wall at the Kumon Learning Centre at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) in Stittsville.

On Thursday, June 26, a brief ceremony was held to honour Shannon Smith for her accomplishment of completing the Kumon reading program. A school hand bell was rung, bringing everything to a stop at the centre as Merilee Clarke of the Stittsville Kumon Centre presented Shannon with a clock to mark her completion of the Kumon reading program.

Kumon teaches the basics of reading and math and allows its students to take their time in their leading and really understand the concepts involved before moving ahead.

Mastering reading and math allows students to feel confident with their other school subjects.

The Kumon program is not just for students who need extra help in their learning. It is also a program which allows high achievers to flourish.

Shannon Smith, besides being a student at the Kumon Learning Centre in Stittsville, is also a program assistant, working with the program’s three to five year old children in the Kumon Early Learners program.

Shannon Smith’s achievement is not the only one of note that has happened recently at the Kumon Learning Centre in Stittsville.

Recently awards were presented to both Kelly Song and Kayla Zhang. They both received awards for reaching grade eight level work by the time that they are in grade five.

Kumon is the world’s largest after-school learning program. Today it is located in 47 countries on six continents.

The Kumon method allows children to become self-learners. This allows their confidence to grow and helps them achieve much more than they would have thought that they could.

The Kumon Reading Program can take a child all the way from beginning level phonics up through high school level reading, writing and literature.

With the Kumon math Program, a child can start with simple counting and go all the way up through high school calculus.

Kumon students are encouraged to develop self-learning skills. Each student progresses at his or her own pace through an individualized program of worksheets carefully planned by the instructor. Students do daily assignments that take about 30 minutes per subject. These are done in two sessions a week at the Kumon Centre and five sessions at home.

The worksheets provided give examples of how to solve each problem, enabling students to self-learn new concepts on their own. Each worksheet teaches a lesson that’s one small step more advanced than the lesson before. This means that the student is less likely to hit a wall and become discouraged in his or her learning.

Strawberries and ice cream at supper John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Millions of tons of strawberries are produced and consumed around the world each

year.

For instance it is estimated that strawberry production in China is over two million tons per year. In the United States, production is over 1.3 million tons per year. So you know

that strawberries are a popular treat around the world, known for its aroma, bright red colour, juicy texture and sweetness.

All of these characteristics were on display at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville on Wednesday, June 25 as the church held its annual strawberry supper in the church hall.

There were three separate sittings: one at 4 p.m., one at 5:30 p.m. and a final one at 7 p.m.

And while a buffet –style dinner featuring meat and salads was enjoyed by all, it was only the precursor, as it were, for the real highlight of the event – a bowl of luscious fresh red strawberries, served either with or without vanilla ice cream.

And there was even a choice of berries – you could have regular berries or there were also berries which were sweetened with added sugar.

Tables filled the hall for the event, including even tables set up on the stage.

The first garden strawberry was grown in France during the late 18th century. Prior to this, wild strawberries and cultivated selections from wild strawberry species were the common source of the fruit.

One serving of strawberries, besides being a treat for the palate that is second to none for many, is also healthy in that it is an source of vitamin C as well as a source of manganese and several other vitamins and dietary minerals.

Limited research indicates that strawberry consumption may be associated with a decreased cardiovascular disease risk and that phytochemicals present in strawberries have anti-inflammatory or anti-cancer properties.

But in reality, the health and nutrition benefits of strawberries are secondary. People eat them because they are really good! Just ask anyone who was at the strawberry supper at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville last week.

Planting trees along Poole Creek John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A section of Poole Creek in Stittsville has a brighter future thanks to recent tree planting.

On Wednesday, June 18, staff from the Royal Bank as well as a class of students from the Abraar Islamic School in Ottawa spent a morning planting trees in open areas along Poole Creek east of West

Ridge Drive in Stittsville.

These seedlings will eventually grow to provide shade to the creek, to stabilize the stream bank and, in some cases, provide berries for birds.

All of this has been made

possible thanks to a $50,000 RBC Blue Water Grant to the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation to support the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority’s City Stream Watch program and an expansion of

the program to the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority area which includes Poole Creek in Stittsville. This shoreline tree planting along Poole Creek is one aspect of the city Stream Watch program.

Jennifer Lamoureau, an aquatic biologist with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, explained to the Abraar Islamic School grade seven students who did the tree planting along with RBC staff volunteers that Poole Creek is one of only two cool water streams within the city of Ottawa. Providing shade for the creek will ensure that the water remains cool and suitable habitat for aquatic life such as brown trout.

Brian Anderson, a forester with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, was on hand to help hand out the trees and give advice on the planting. Among the species of trees being planted were Nannyberry, Highbush Cranberry, Dogwood, Willow and Red Osier Dogwood. Many of these produce berries that provide a food source for wildlife. In addition, they will seed themselves and multiple in place, thus producing a thick forest cover for the stream.

Aquatic life in the water will also be able to feed off insects which fall of the trees into the water of the stream.

The trees were planted in three separate areas along the shoreline of Poole Creek east of West Ridge Drive. Alyssa Boivin, an environmental technician with the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority, gave a demonstration to the students about how to plant the trees.

The students and RBC volunteers dug holes and then planted the small trees, after which they placed a “coco mat” around the tree’s base.

This coco mat, which will disintegrate over time, will prevent grass and weeds from crowding out the small tree before it gets a solid foothold.

The students and RBC volunteers were provided with gloves and shovels for their planting task as well as blue RBC t-shirts.

On hand for the event were RBC Rideau Lakes vice-president Glen Kelsey and RBC Ottawa West vice-president Mike Haley, both of whom pitched in and helped plant the trees.

In formally presenting the $50,000 donation at one of the tree planting sites along Poole Creek, RBC vice-president Glen Kelsey said that water is the most precious natural resource because nothing happens without water. That’s why the RBC launched its blue Water Project in 2007.

It is a ten year global commitment to help project fresh water in the world.

He noted that the RBC grant of $50,000 to help support the watershed management work undertaken by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority reflects not only the bank’s confidence in the work of these Conservation Authorities but also reflects RBC’s commitment to water and the need to protect it.

This year the RBC Blue Water Project is focusing on supporting initiatives that help protect water in urban areas.

Goodbye, Nursery School, Hello, Kindergarten!!!

Special to the News

News - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kindergarten, here we come!â&#x20AC;?

That was the loud cheer which ďŹ lled the hall at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond on Wednesday morning, June 18 as members of the preschool class of the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School (RCNS) wound up their graduation ceremony.

And what a graduation ceremony it was, with the youngsters all wearing black mortarboards and performing some action songs for the audience of parents and grandparents who attended the event.

And thanks to the work and expertise of the teachers of the RCNS, these three and four year olds are well prepared for their next educational adventure in kindergarten.

They have had two years of circle time, learning their ABCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 1-2-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

These youthful grads also know all about butterďŹ&#x201A;ies, ocean animals and dinosaurs, among other things. They have practiced and mastered skills like cutting with scissors, reading and printing their own name. They can even put on a snow suit all by themselves.

On top of all of this learning, they have also made friends, have learned about the importance of sharing and have developed some independence. Yes, they are ready for kindergarten.

The Richmond Cooperative Nursery School, which operates out of the basement hall at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church in Richmond, offers SUBMITTED toddler and preschool programs for youngsters aged 2 to 4 years. For more information about the Nursery Wearing their mortarboards and performing an action song at their recent graduation ceremony at the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School in Richmond are, from left, Carter Jones, Ivy Simmonds and Bennett Grant.

Pioneer Roman Catholic cemetery near Dwyer Hill is heritage site John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A pioneer Roman Catholic cemetery near Dwyer Hill was designated as a heritage site in 1998 by the former township of Rideau.

This Roman Catholic cemetery near Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neil Road off Dwyer Hill Road in the former Marlborough Township is the earliest known burial ground in Rideau township.

It served a community of Irish Catholics centered around the Dwyer Hill area from the early 1800s until about 1867 when the current St. Clare cemetery at Dwyer Hill was established.

This pioneer cemetery is considered unique in this area and perhaps in all of Ontario, due to the nature of the graves. The graves take the form of a shallow excavation containing the body, covered with stones in a low cairn edged with limestone. At one time these graves were marked with pine planks inscribed with lead paint, outlining the data related to the grave.

A low stone wall enclosed the original area of the cemetery. Only traces of this low stone wall remain.

This old cemetery appears to have been used by Irish Catholics who settled in the Dwyer Hill area. However, it is not identified in the 1879 Belden Atlas of Carleton County, but this could be explained by the fact that the cemetery was no longer being used actively by that time.

An earlier area map, the 1863 map produced by H.F. Galling and published by D.P. Putnam of Prescott, also did not identify this cemetery, but this also was near the time when the cemetery fell into disuse with the opening of the new St. Clareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cemetery at Dwyer Hill.

The cemetery property, located in the former Marlborough township near the Goulbourn boundary and now found in a part of the Marlborough Forest, was owned by T. Haggarty and James Hanrahan, as the cemetery most probably straddled the property line between their two properties.

The great-great-grandmother of the late Elwin Vaughan of Richmond, namely Catherine Peralta, who was born in Tarifa, Spain, was buried in this pioneer cemetery about 1864 or 1865, just near the last days of its use.

Catherine Peralta had married Charles Schweitzer of Germany in Gibraltar and they had come to Richmond when Charles Schweitzer was discharged as a sergeant in the British Army. Charles Schweitzer is buried in the Anglican cemetery at Ashton, while Catherine, being a Catholic, was buried in the Dwyer Hill pioneer cemetery.

The soil at the cemetery site is very shallow and so the graves were made in cairn-like fashion by constructing sides and ends of flag-limestone and covering the graves with these same limestone stones.

These burial sites were originally marked with pine slabs about five inches wide, four inches thick and four feet tall. Heavy lead paint was used for writing the data on these pine slab markers. Sometime before 1940, the last of these markers disappeared from the site, with no recording ever having been made of who was buried at this cemetery.

There are no known Diocesan records pertaining to this Dwyer Hill pioneer cemetery, either at Kingston or at the Ottawa Archdiocese.

In 1995, the Surveys and Mapping branch of the then-regional government was asked to prepare a map showing the location of this pioneer cemetery. In the fall of 1995, a four-member survey crew located the pioneer cemetery, hidden in a thick maple and hardwood bush. The cemetery site, as they found it, consisted of the partial remains of a rock wall and 20 grave sites inside the wall. It was

decided at that time that a number of graves are located outside the initial site of the cemetery as the original site was filled.

The survey crew discovered about 16 graves beyond the rock wall boundaries of the original cemetery site. It is felt that there are more in the area, but the survey crew did not pursue this. The result of the efforts of this survey crew was the production of a map showing the location of the pioneer cemetery as well as the location of known grave sites.

Legion Hall rentals Special to the News

News - The Stittsville Legion Hall is now more available than ever to community groups and events.

The Legion had adopted some new rental/community support concepts by modifying the rental rates for the Legion hall.

The new rates will allow groups such as hockey teams to have short term access to the facility for very competitive rates. The facility will be available for as low as $20 per hour for small functions, depending on the room needed, the duration of the event and support needed.

Indeed, certain community oriented fundraisers may be entitled to free space occupancy if they meet the Legion’s criteria for local support.

Each function will be examined on a case-by-case basis and if the Legion can justify the financial impact against space usage versus sustaining branch operations, then the event may benefit from a zero cost to the organizers.

It must be noted, though, that the Legion Hall will still be used for weddings, dances, concerts, comedy nights, karaoke and open mic functions as part of the normal Legion business.

Along with barbecues, bingo, darts and other Legion sponsored events, it all keeps the Stittsville Legion going as it supports the community.

If you want to find out more about Stittsville Legion hall rentals and the possibility of lower or even no rental charges, please email rentals@rcl618. ca or call Chris at 613-831-1575.

Justin Phillips named special teams captain Special to the News

Sports - The new Ottawa RedBlacks football team of the Canadian Football League has chosen its captains and one of them is a former Bell Warrior and Sacred Heart High School student.

Justin Phillips was named as the captain of the special teams for the Ottawa RedBlacks.

Other captains are quarterback Henry Burris who will be captain of the offense and linebacker T.J. Hill as captain of the defence.

These captains were picked by their teammates in a vote.

Justin Phillips is a defensive lineman with the team. He is a veteran of the Canadian Football League (CFL), having

come to the RedBlacks from the Calgary Stampeders.

Justin attended Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville and played minor football for the Bell Warriors before going on to play university football and then with the Calgary Stampeders.

Justin, who was born in 1985, played his university football at Sir Wilfrid Laurier University. He was drafted fifth overall in the 2007 CFL draft by the Calgary Stampeders with whom he played until this season when he joined the new Ottawa RedBlacks. He will be wearing jersey number 44 for the Ottawa RedBlacks this season. He has played a total of 78 CFL games going into this season.

Justin is scheduled to make an appearance at the upcoming Bell Warriors Football Club’s Recognition Ceremony on Sunday, July 13 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bell High School football field at Bells Corners. This is an event being hosted by city of Ottawa councillors Rick Chiarelli and Shad Qadri to honour the Bell Warriors Football Club for providing minor football programs in the community for over 50 years.

The Bell Warriors Football Club, which was founded in 1955, provides minor football programs to youth living in the Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Goulbourn, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia areas of the city of Ottawa.

Rose Ceremony to say farewell to retiring St. Philip principal John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - “May the road rise up to meet you/May the wind always be at your back./May the sun shine warm upon your face,/And rains fall soft upon your fields./And until we meet again,/May God hold you in the palm of His hand.”

The reciting of this iconic Irish blessing has become a tradition at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond whenever a staff member is leaving and so it was very much a part of the assembly which was held at the school on Wednesday morning, June 25 to bid farewell to principal Kathy Fischer on her retirement at the end of the school year.

As principal Fischer sat in an Adirondack chair which was a retirement gift to her from the school staff, complete with the signatures of all of the staff members on it, the school choir and whole assembled school body sang the Irish blessing, accompanied by a series of synchronized hand and arm movements.

But the assembly was much more than this. There was loud music and dancing, presentations and a goodbye video.

Indeed, principal Fischer, upon entering the school gymnasium where all of the students and staff were assembled for her retirement send-off, started dancing to the music. Wearing a black hat and black outfit with a silver star on its front, she showed her dance moves and even danced with several of the students.

The assembly was officially called a Rose Ceremony and that’s because roses are considered a universal sign of love. That’s why a procession of representative students, some with armfuls of giant cards and letters for their retiring principal, presented Ms. Fischer with red roses as she sat in her new Adirondack chair given to her by the staff.

But there was more – a “Group of Seven” style piece of art presented to principal Fischer by the School Council; a video presentation with students bidding farewell to their principal; an additional presentation from the school staff of a gift card for the Running Room as Ms. Fischer is an avid runner; and a grand finale happy dance involving everyone in the assembly, with lots of clapping and dancing as principal Fischer made her way around the room, hugging all of her staff members and then dancing along with everyone else.

Principal Fischer is retiring after five years as principal at St. Philip Catholic School. She will be returning to school herself to become more up to date in her own learning before taking on a new challenge of working with teenagers.

St. Philip Catholic School teacher Lori-Ann Richards, who was the MC for the retirement gathering, noted that principal Fischer had introduced new programs during her tenure at St. Philip, while adding that principal Fischer always had her office door open for both students and parents. She called principal Fischer an enthusiastic person who has encouraged a love of learning while also being a great listener.

OC Transpo moving to hire chief safety officer

Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - OC Transpo is on the hunt for a chief safety officer after a review recommended creating the position.

The transit commission received the results of an independent review of the system’s safety and security, which was conducted by the American Public Transportation Association from March 18 to 21.

OC Transpo general manager John Manconi said it will take a few months to hire someone for the new role, but the chief safety officer would report directly to him. Task number one will be developing a comprehensive safety program for the bus and light-rail system – something the transportation association panel recommended.

Next, OC Transpo will look at whether it should increase the

number of special constables, who enforce safety and security as they patrol the transit system.

There are currently 41 constables and the panel said there isn’t a “magic number” for how many are needed, but all panel members agreed the department was “under resourced.”

Manconi didn’t commit to adding more constables, but said OC Transpo will be using a tool suggested by the panel which looks are the size and needs of transit systems and how much security coverage is needed and in which locations.

“We’re going to look at all those variables ... and we’ll look at our implementation plan for the LRT and phase things in and put it through the budget process if we need additional resources,” he said.

The panel also suggested OC Transpo phase out 10 or so fare inspectors, another type

of patroller, and redirect those resources towards adding special constables. That will make sense as the bulk of transit ridership will shift to LRT, which will use fare control gates, reducing the need to enforce proof of fare payment.

The panel applauded OC Transpo for its current safety and security efforts, including de-escalation training for drivers who encounter conflicts with passengers, safe stop and night stop programs, a 24-hour transit communications centre, outreach efforts such as the safety culture working group and equipment such as emergency call boxes, alarms at the back of buses and closed-circuit cameras.

But the panel said OC Transpo needs to do more to communicate those efforts to the public and ensure riders know all the measures that are in place to in-

crease security, as well as how to use them. The panel pointed to a recent move to promote the safe stop program, which allows riders to request a stop closer to their destination after 9 p.m., as a positive step.

Better communication with the public about incidents and how to report concerns back to OC Transpo is another area the agency needs to strengthen, the panel found. Those efforts are important to create a culture of community safety on the system, where riders look out for each other and step in or report incidents if something seems wrong.

That was a major concern for Erin Leigh and Mai Ngo, members of the safety culture working group who represent Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, the City for All Women Initiative and Hollaback Ottawa.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse The definition of child abuse encompasses far more than physical violence. Sexual and emotional abuse, along with neglect, abandonment and the incapacity of parents to provide basic care (sometimes as a result of poverty or addiction) are other common forms of child abuse. It is not always easy to identify victims as they do not all exhibit the classic warning signs. Research shows that abuse and neglect can lead to serious emotional harm. Fortunately, it is possible for you to make a difference in a child’s life by learning the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier we can provide relief to these families, the greater the chance that the children can overcome these hardships.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

At St. Philip Catholic School Retiring St. Philip Catholic School principal Kathy Fischer, far left, sitting in an Adirondack chair given to her by the school staff as a retirement gift, accepts roses offered by students, from left, Adia Snuth, Conner Hanson, Hailey Pierunek (partially hidden) and Joshua Quarrington at the Rose Ceremony gathering to mark her retirement which was held at the school on Wednesday, June 25.

DOWNTOWNCARLETONPLACE.COM

If you have any suspicions that a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Even though the idea of making a report with the Children’s Aid Society can seem very “official” - and therefore intimidating - it is important to demystify these beliefs in order to provide help in a time-efficient manner. People often feel reluctant to get involved in other families’ personal lives, but it is imperative that we understand our duty to ensure each person’s safety in our community.

One of the biggest fears about reporting abuse or neglect is that we will inadvertently break up a family. As a child welfare organization, our priority is the child’s safety. Nevertheless, current data shows that 90% of children remain in their parents’ care; removal is a last-resort decision, and only occurs in cases where the child is in immediate danger.

Secondly, some worry about their identity being revealed to the family. Reports can be made anonymously. When reporting a suspicion, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment.

Even though it may feel like your report will not make a difference, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Every individual’s contribution can have an impact.

While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse or neglect turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.

Community blood donor clinic is coming up in Richmond Special to the News

News - A community blood donor clinic held by Canadian Blood Services will be held in Richmond on Monday, July 21.

This community blood donor clinic will be held from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at St. Philipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parish Hall at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond.

To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinic, please visit the website www.

blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

Summertime clinics are always critical to the supply of blood and blood products because of the ongoing need for these products despite a drop in donors due to vacations.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why attendance of this community blood donor clinic in Richmond, as with others in July, is so critical and important.

There is always a need for blood donations and the need is ongoing.

It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient.

A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient.

Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight do-

nors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation.

Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does

the same thing.

Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Richmond is one of these donor clinics.

Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

Childhood memories of the railway station Two sites for News - Stittsville’s railway heritage, captured in the structures at Village Square Park, has provided memories to many.

Even those who lived in Stittsville in the 1950’s and 1960’s when the railway era was declining have memories of the railway.

Denise Killick, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Killick, grew up in Stittsville, attending Stittsville Public School and graduating from South Carleton High School in 1976. She later attended Algonquin College where she earned a diploma in library technology. She presently lives in Ottawa.

She has written the following story entitled “The Station” about her childhood experience with the railway station in Stittsville: “Kathryn and I always walked home from school together. Her father worked at the railway station just off the main street of

Stittsville.

We would wander home and dutifully stop at the post office for the mail, a task that each of our families entrusted us with.

We would then cross Main Street near Abbott Street, skip over the railway tracks and then race along the gravel path at the side of the tracks to reach the old wooden plank platform of the train station.

From the far end of the platform we could see into the station office window where Kathryn’s father was seated at his desk, tapping out a telegraph or writing something in a big black log book. We’d wave to him and smile gleefully.

Moving loudly across the platform in hopscotch form, we’d then break into a run and race one another to the front door of the station, laughing ourselves silly. The smell of diesel oil would drift from inside the waiting room as we pushed the heavy wooden door open.

Benches ran around the perimeter of the small bare waiting room. I’d often run my fingers over the worn engraved initials of long-gone passengers, pondering who they were and where they were going. What would it be like to wait in that room for the train to Ottawa, I would wonder.

In all of the years I lived in Stittsville, I never took the train anywhere.

The walls of the waiting room were painted a sickly pale shade of green. I remember that there was only one washroom. Where did the ladies go? I found it a hard concept to grasp in such a public place.

Sometimes we would wait on the steps at the entrance of the waiting room for the four o’clock train and try to out scream the whistle and noise of the train as it passed only a few feet away from us. It was a terrifying and yet exhilarating experience.

This is a scene at the Stittsville railway station. It is the same station building which Denise Killick writes bout in her story “The Station” about her childhood experience at the station.

We’d creep in quietly across the wooden floor, careful not to make it creak. But Kathryn’s father always knew we were coming.

Kathryn would raise her finger to her lips and blow a “shhhh!” in my direction. I’d obey and shyly trail behind her, trying to be quiet as a mouse. We’d slip inside the office, trying carefully not to disturb Kathryn’s father. We’d wait for him to finish tapping or writing and then she would slide up to his side and he’d slip his arm about her waist and give her a kiss and a nice smiling “hello.”

“Hi, honey!” he would say.

“Hi, daddy!” she would beam in return.

I’d wait patiently for him to say “hello” to me. Of course, he always did and my face would flush when he smiled and said “hello” in his kind and warm voice. “Hello, Mr. Hobbs,” I’d reply. He would ask how I was doing and I’d reply “Fine, thank you.”

Then the moment we’d both been waiting for would come.

He’d tell us that he thought that there might be something for us outside the side door. He thought he’d seen one or two of the railway men leave something there after dropping into the back room earlier that day.

Our eyes would light up. He always teased us and told us not to get too excited, telling us that he wasn’t certain that anything would be there. But, sure enough, we were never disappointed. There, on the worn wooden step would be an empty pop bottle or two. We’d squeal with delight and tear out the door and off to Old Bill’s Store across the street to buy a handful of penny candy. He’d call after us to be careful and to remember to look both ways before we crossed the street.”

dropping off water samples Special to the News

News - Goulbourn now has two permanent sites where well water sample bottles can be dropped off on Tuesdays for testing.

The Ashton General Store in Ashton will be accepting such well water sample bottles for free testing on Tuesdays from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Mac’s in Munster is the other permanent site, where well water sample bottles for free testing will be accepted on Tuesdays from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

This is part of a new initiative in Ottawa Public Health’s well water testing program to make it even more convenient for rural residents to have well water tested for free.

At these permanent sites, which have been set up across the rural areas of the city of Ottawa in addition to Goulbourn, homeowners with well systems can drop off waster samples and pick up new bottles for future testing. The drop off will apply on every Tuesday.

This Tuesday drop off service will be provided year round with the testing for bacteria being offered free of charge.

Inaugural Richmond library opened in Jan. 1972 News - A library in Richmond dates back to 1971 when a community library board, with Nancy Smith as chair, was formed to establish a lending library in the community.

Arrangements were made with the Carleton Board of Education for a community library to be housed in the South Carleton High School library on a temporary basis. The long-term plan was to establish a permanent public library building in Richmond. Professional assistance in setting up the library initially was provided by Lynda McCoy, the high school librarian.

This inaugural Richmond library opened in January, 1972, and for the ďŹ rst eight months was run solely by volunteers. In September, 1972, Muriel Gingras was hired as a library assistant.

In 1972, total circulation was 3,910 with a membership of 342. In 1973, circulation grew to 8,624 with a membership of 715. This circulation and membership growth matched an increase in the hours of operation of the library, increasing from three hours initially to 12 hours in 1973.

In addition, the library began offering certain programs

Our museums

In the spring of 1975, this new Goulbourn library board felt that the time had come for Richmond to have a library building of its own.

Various alternatives were considered before a decision was made that the best and most economical plan would be to purchase a portable classroom which Library Board member Lloyd Bredeson discovered was available in Belleville for $5,700.

Plans went forward quickly with council giving permission to place the portable classroom in an attractive setting in Centennial Park near the west end of Perth Street in the village.

Wintario grants were applied for and citizens and community groups in Richmond gave generously to fundraising efforts.

This new Richmond branch was formally opened on October 23, 1976, when mayor Betty Hill cut the ribbon. MP Walter Baker as well as Larry Eshelman, Director of the Eastern Ontario Library System, were also in attendance.

The total cost of this new Richmond library was $51,386, of which $39,725 was received in donations and grants.

In 1978, the creation of the new city of Kanata was announced, with the Glen Cairn area of Goulbourn to be joined with Kanata, March and Bridle-

wood to form the new city.

This would impact the Goulbourn library system, most notably in reducing the size of the library board to four persons, appointed in January, 1979.

Daphne Percival was the Richmond representative on this four-member Board.

From 1974 through to 1978, serving the newly amalgamated township of Goulbourn, the Goulbourn library system had shown tremendous growth.

From a membership of 802 and a circulation of 14,012 based on just the two branches in Richmond and Stittsville, the system had grown by the end of 1978 to a membership of 5,545 and a circulation of 63,580.

The new, reduced Goulbourn Public Library system opened a new library addition in Stittsville in 1980 and a new branch in Munster in 1982.

In November, 1986, the newly expanded Richmond branch of the Goulbourn Township Public Library was ofďŹ cially opened with Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg cutting the ribbon, assisted by Carleton-Grenville MPP Norm Sterling.

A new 1700 square foot addition to the library, plus the renovation of the existing structure, gave a whole new appearance to the Richmond library branch.

The Library Board had turned

its attention to an improved and expanded Richmond library facility immediately after the opening of the new Munster branch in late 1982.

Goulbourn township council contributed $17,000 annually over three years to the $171,000 cost of the expansion.

A group known as The Friends of the Richmond Library, raised about $30,000 as the community portion of the fundraising. One of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fundraising endeavours was selling â&#x20AC;&#x153;square feetâ&#x20AC;? in the new addition for $65. each.

The names of all those who contributed were included on a list erected in the branch.

Wintario provided a sizeable grant to round out the funding for the addition to the Richmond library branch.

Circulation at the Richmond library at the time of the opening of the expanded facility was over 25,000 items annually.

In 2002, circulation at the Richmond library branch, now one of the 33 library branches of the city of Ottawa Public Library system, was 28,566 items. Circulation in 2003 at the Richmond library branch was up 9.7 percent over the 2002 ďŹ gures. This increase was in part attributed to the fact that Richmond library patrons then had access to any book at any city library branch, with the book being delivered to the Richmond branch for pickup.

for both adults and children, and these drew increased attendance.

Cooperation between the school and the library was good, as access to both collections was made available to both the public and to the students. However, this arrangement offered limited growth potential for the library because of the physical size of the school library, with space for the school resources naturally taking precedence.

In 1974, the amalgamation of the villages of Richmond and Stittsville and Rural Goulbourn took place to create the new amalgamated township of Goulbourn, with a new library board appointed to oversee the libraries of the former municipalities. Because the total population of the amalgamated township exceeded 10,000 people, an eight-person library board was created. John Harrison and Jim Scammell represented Richmond on this new library board, with other representatives coming from Stittsville, Glen Cairn and Rural Goulbourn.

One of the ďŹ rst acts of this new library board was to hire a professional librarian, Rita Strasburger, who assumed her duties on November 1, 1974.

A bookmobile service was established in 1975 to provide library service to Glen Cairn, Munster and Ashton.

CE LEB FIV RAT EY I EA NG RS

Welcome to Bridlewood Trails It’s hard to believe that Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community is 5 years old.

On July 9th, 2009, our doors opened for the first time. We offered seniors a great place to live that offered independence as well as an ideal spot to “age in place”. We enjoyed cultivating relationships with residents as they moved in and we watched them flourish as they made new friends, tried new food and maybe took part in a new activity. They all made the move to Bridlewood Trails to get a new lease on life and haven’t looked back.

Want to try something new? Call 613-595-1116 and ask for Cindy - she’ll be happy to tour with you and show you all that Bridlewood Trails has to offer.

MARY COOK Puffed wheat Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories Lifestyle - My sister Audrey was being dispatched to Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General store, and told to hurry up about it.

Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Aunt Freda (not Aunt Lizzie who regularly sent the hand-me-down boxes from Regina) was coming for a short visit from Chicago. I had never laid eyes on Aunt Freda, nor had Mother. Our contact was through the odd letter, and a gift of a radio which was of no use whatsoever, since we had no electricity.

She would be arriving at the C.P.R. station in Renfrew late in the day, would be there for one day and one night only, and then heading to Arnprior to visit Aunt Nellie and Uncle Henry Wagenblass.

Well, did that set our house in a frenzy. What to have for supper? Change the bed upstairs, clean from top to bottom, get out the only white tablecloth we owned and which Mother had brought from New York, and try to find dishes that matched. And do all of this before Father headed into Renfrew to bring Aunt Freda out to Northcote.

The dishes were the problem. We had a hodgepodge of mismatched dishes, some with a gold maple leaf in the centre of each plate that had been in our old log house for genera-

dishes, tableware were staples

tions, some with a navy-blue rim around them, and then there were the ones that came in the puffed-wheat bag. Without a doubt, they were best of the lot, but we were far from having enough to set a complete table. In fact, there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough of the puffed wheat dishes to even make one complete setting.

I thought everyone in Northcote got their dishes from the puffed-wheat bag. Unfortunately, the company that put one piece in each bag, gave an overabundance of saucers, and rarely bothered with cups. And so we had an about 12 saucers, no cups, a couple dinner plates, and a small plate Mother called a bread-and-butter plate, which according to Father wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worth taking out of the cupboard.

And so Audrey, with me in tow, was heading for Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store to buy yet another bag of puffed wheat, and hopefully come home with at least one tea cup. To prepare for this errand, Audrey had gone to the sewing basket and taken out a long knitting needle, and I knew exactly why. She also had a short list of things Mother had to have on hand just because Aunt Freda was coming. A bar of Ivory soap, (heaven forbid Aunt Freda would have to use homemade soap reeking of Gillettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lye)

because regardless how hard Mother tried, she was never able to completely dissolve all the little pieces of lye.

When we got to the store, Audrey headed right for the bags of puffed wheat. Although as light as a feather, the bags were big, with a strip of paper down the front with very small holes in it, so that the customer could see what a wonderful cereal this was. The bags were piled up against the wall, and Audrey, making no attempt to hide what she was up to, got down on her hands and knees and ever so carefully, worked the knitting needle into one bag at a time.

She poked away until she hit a piece of china, which the company made awfully sure was right in the middle of the bag. It was my job to see that she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attack the same bag twice. She had worked her way through about 10 bags, when finally she came up for air, and looking like she had just discovered America, took the bag over to the counter, gathered up the other things on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;please put this on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill,â&#x20AC;? and we headed for the buggy outside.

It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take Mother long to rip into the bag, pour out a good portion into a big bowl, and retrieve a cup. Now, Aunt Freda would have a cup and saucer that matched, and a dinner and bread and butter plate, all thanks to a bag of puffed wheat.

None of us much liked puffed wheat. And there was always two or three bags tucked away in the cupboard out in the summer kitchen, bought simply for the dish inside.

There was no doubt Mr. Briscoe knew exactly what my sister Audrey was up to when she came into the store with the long knitting needle. He paid no attention to her at all. And when I asked Audrey if what she was doing was considered dishonest, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly not.

We bought a bag of puffed wheat, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we?â&#x20AC;?

And when I visited school friends in Northcote, and stayed for a meal, their tables too were set with an assortment of mismatched dishes.

And always there would be a plate, or a saucer, with the fluted edge, circled in a gold rim, and with small red and pink flowers, right out of a bag of puffed wheat.

Tasty fruit roll-ups make great snacks and desserts Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Lifestyle - This simple roll-up incorporates the goodness of the garden. Only you will know how easy it is to make. The dough thaws in fridge overnight. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great snack, lunch box treat or birthday party staple. Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t defrost them. Squeeze any extra liquid from shredded apples to prevent the roll-up from becoming soggy. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Baking time: 25 minutes. Serves 12.

Ingredients * 125 g (4 oz) cream cheese, softened * 15 ml (1 tbsp) each cinnamon and honey * 5 ml (1 tsp) grated lemon rind * 500 g (1 lb) frozen whole wheat pizza dough, thawed * 500 ml (2 cups) shredded apples, squeezed dry * 500 ml (2 cups) shredded zucchini, squeezed dry

* 250 ml (1 cup) blueberries Topping * 50 ml (1/4 cup) honey Preparation In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, cinnamon, honey and lemon rind until smooth and then set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a fivemillimetre (1/4-inch) thick rectangle measuring about 35 by 30 centimetres (14 by 12 inches).

Spread the cream cheese mixture on the dough. Top evenly with the apples, zucchini and blueberries. Starting at a long side, roll up the dough, pressing firmly so it is snug around the filling and gently smoothing it to an even thickness. Cut the roll into 12 pieces. Place the pieces, cut side down, in a buttered 3.5 litre (13 by 9-inch) baking pan.

Bake in a 230 C (450 F) oven for 25 minutes or until the pieces are golden brown.

Topping: Drizzle with honey while hot and serve immediately.

BERRY TIPS It is recommended that the berries are placed in the coolest spot in your car for your journey home. It is actually best for the berries to go straight home and be placed in a fridge or very cool spot. If you are making jam or freezing the berries - the sooner the better. Pick you berry farms use lots of clean straw between rows of plants to keep berries and pickers clean and dry.

Bring along a camera to capture special moments. Most farms have picnic tables, so a snack or lunch is a great way to celebrate a "job" well done.

Most Important Tip: Fresh air, lovely red strawberries, beautiful country setting, and happy pickers... it all adds up to a very pleasant summer outing.

News - Friday, Sept. 12 will be the date for the fourth annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” golf tournament this year.

In the past three years, this tournament has raised over $150,000 in total for the Hospice Care Ottawa capital campaign to establish a residential hospice in Kanata to serve residents of the west Ottawa area.

The tournament will be held once again at the Loch March Golf and Country Club in rural Kanata.

The “best ball” tournament will get underway with a 12 noon shotgun start, preceded by a lunch beginning at 10:30 a.m. The awards dinner will follow the tournament.

Lennox Sterling, a Richmond resident, received end-of-life care at a hospice in Ottawa.

This made ensuring more hospice beds in the Ottawa area a cause of importance to Lennox’s family and friends which brought about this annual tournament as a fundraising initiative to help create these beds. Hospice care allows a person to die in dignity in a home-like setting.

All hospice care is provided free of charge.

The funds raised at this tournament are going towards making the dream of more hospice beds in Ottawa a reality. At last year’s tournament, the purchase of a new west end site for a

This delightful, slim, petite, pretty girl is only one year old and she was rescued after having her babies at such a young age. Looking at her you might think she is a kitten herself . Now she is ready for a family of her own where she finally can enjoy her young age, make up for lost time with all the love and devotion she can get. She LOVES to touch you, stretches her paws for attention and is very very friendly... she sure knows to show you how she feels about humans. She is one phone call away...!
