Mom of the Year competition There were five candidates ahead of her in the voting, ranging from the leader Krystal Shipley and her cause of the Canuck Place Children’s Hospice with 6009 votes to Carrie Connell and her charity Canadian FOP (Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressive) Network which is working to raise funds for research and awareness about this ultra rare disease with 936 votes.

The stories of all of the 20 candidates in this second phase of the process leading to the selection of the Mom of the Year can be found on the website www.momoftheyear.ca/.

With regard to Dev Jude, the story tells how Dev’s son Bryce passed away in Sept. 2012 just after turning seven years old and following a three year battle with a rare type of leukemia.

Inspired by the kindness and support received from the community during this three year period, Dev always said that she would “Pay It Forward” when she could and now she is doing just that.

Dev has advocated for change at a pediatric hospital, has helped start a global Facebook group supporting other parents whose children share the same rare diagnosis as Bryce Jude had and has created a partnership between Candlelighters and Red Apron to provide food for newly diagnosed families.

Now Dev is spearheading Refuse2Lose Team Bryce (www.refuse2lose.ca) with an annual goal of raising $50,000 to support the Candlelighters Suite Seats program which provides a

special suite at the Canadian Tire Centre where children and their families battling cancer can safely experience the thrill of an Ottawa Senators game or the other events that happen there.

Dev and her husband Steve have two other sons, younger than Bryce, and her strength and courage as a mother during Bryce’s battle and now following it shows her to be a person who “refuses2 lose.”

This year’s Walmart Mom of the Year competition attracted 24,644 nominations, all moms who have made or are making a profound difference in people’s lives.

The number of nominations was up this year from last year’s inaugural competition when almost 17,000 nominations were received.

Dev herself is honoured just to have made the semi-final round of 20 out of the close to 25,000 nominations submitted. And she is awed at the other 19 semi-finalists.

“Every one should win,” she says about them, wishing that they could all win. “To me, every mom is an amazing mom,” she adds.

She is excited that she has a chance to raise funds for Candlelighters through this Mom of the Year competition.

Information about the “Refuse2Lose Team Bryce” of which Dev Jude is the co-founder can be found at www.Refuse2Lose.ca, by sending an email to dev@refuse2lose.ca or by calling 613-240-0508. Refuse2Lose Team Bryce has a fundraising first annual golf tournament coming up at the Canadian Golf and Country Club on Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Connection to Oscar Peterson links Gretchen Martin, Paul Jay John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Gaia Java Coffee Company shop co-owner Paul Jay introduced pianist/singer Gretchen Martin at last Friday’s music evening at the shop. And while it has nothing to do with the performance, both have a connection with Oscar Peterson, the iconic Canadian jazz pianist and composter.

Gretchen Martin claims that one of the keyboards which she uses in her performing was at one time rented by Oscar Peterson, although he never actually played it in a performance.

Paul Jay actually met Oscar Peterson at a performance in Geneva and even has a photo taken at the time that proves this.

This Oscar Peterson relationship aside, both Paul and Gretchen are music fans. Paul is a performer in his own right, singing with the a cappella group Quintessence, while Gretchen is a talented pianist/singer as she displayed at the music evening at the Gaia Java shop last Friday.

She had performed earlier this year at the Gaia Java shop and her return engagement saw her providing a medley of familiar hit songs by artists ranging from Creedence Clearwater Revival to Patsy Cline to Elton John to Billy Joel to John Mellencamp.

Grade six farewell ceremony for Guardian Angels John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - What a difference eight years can make!

You only had to hear Izabelle O’Connor, one of the valedictorians at the grade six farewell ceremony of Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville, to have this difference brought home to you in school terms.

At the school’s June 25 grade six farewell ceremony at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Stittsville, she pointed out that eight years ago, the students now leaving grade six at the school had cried because they had to go to school. But now, eight years later, they were crying, as it were, because they had to leave the school.

That’s what eight memorable years can do!

Isabelle served as the valedictorian along with classmate Jack Chouinard who talked to those in attendance at the ceremony – classmates, parents, grandparents, siblings and guests – about looking forward to the coming years as a student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School where he said that he and his fellow students will have opportunities but also will have responsibilities.

He also thanked the teachers at Guardian Angels who he said do more than teach – they bring smiles to the faces of each and every one of the students. He termed the time that the students have spent at Guardian Angels as unforgettable and said that these years at Guardian Angels will never be forgotten by the students.

This grade six farewell ceremony began with a liturgy followed by an address by principal Andrea Green, the presentation of farewell certificates to the 88 students who have completed their elementary school education and are now moving on the intermediate and high school grades at Sacred Heart Catholic High School, and also the presentation of a number of awards acknowledging student achievement and accomplishment in various areas of study and activity. These included faith, justice, stewardship, persons, academic English, sportsmanship, academic French, community and partnership, arts, technology, most improved and public speaking.

A Director of Education Award acknowledging a grade six student who has best exemplified the Gospel values in his or her daily life at the school was also presented.

The Faith Award, given to a student or students who demonstrate on a daily basis an ability to live, learn, love and grow in their faith in Jesus Christ, was presented to Isabelle Tate and Mark Kruzich.

The Justice Award was presented to Max Anderson, Jessica Berube, Grace Lavoie and Abigail Llagas Innocent. This award is presented to students who recognize the importance and value of treating all peers equally.

The Stewardship Award is presented to a student or students who show a commitment to the values important to the school community by demonstrating these values when participating in events. The recipients were Hannah Har-

rington, Victoria Whitworth, Marlo Steenbakkers and Kathleen Morden.

The Persons Award was presented to Austin Lightfoot, Emily Lusignan, Danika Westman and Ian Holmes. This award goes to a student or students who show a value for the whole person and the sacredness of life and the environment.

The Academic Excellence (English) Award was presented to Lauren Daize, Samantha Bauer, Rebecca Duchesne and Izabelle O’Connor.

This award goes to a student or students who consistently produce work of superior quality across the curriculum, have excellent work habits, have a positive attitude toward school and are eager to learn new things and apply new skills.

The Academic Excellence (French) Award goes to a student or student who consistently produce work of superior quality across the curriculum, have excellent work habits, have a positive attitude toward learning French and are eager to learn new things and apply new skills in the context of French culture. The recipients were Taylor Kramer, Nicholas Walter and Ryan Bouley.

The Sportsmanship Award goes to a student or students who excel in all areas of the physical education program and consistently display the qualities of good sportsmanship by supporting and encouraging teammates and opposing teams. Recipients of the Sportsmanship Award were Cameron Mondoux, Dylan Brisson, Ellen McGuire and Hannah Sheehan.

The Community and Partnership Award was presented to Amanda Schwantz and Jordyn Cavanaugh. This award goes to students who display a high level of collaborative and teamwork abilities and who respect and celebrate the uniqueness of all persons in their school and parish communities.

The Arts Award was presented to Mitchell Keyworth, Max Gelinas, Erin Maslow and Mirella Rybak. This award goes to a student or students who demonstrate excellent creativity and imagination in all areas of the arts.

The Technology Award was presented to Ryan Clement and Russell McKeage. This award is presented to a student or students who consistently use technology in resourceful ways to increase the quality of their academic work. The Most Improved Student Award honours a student or students who show a significant and steady degree of improvement in the area of academics and/or learning skills thanks to a consistent effort. Recipients were Nicholas Gardner, Mason Emslie and Ethan Vaslet.

The Public Speaking Award was presented to Jack Chouinard. This award is presented to the student who is the finalist at the school-level public speaking competition. The student has demonstrated excellent communication skills and through public speaking has displayed an ability to capture an audience’s attention.

The Director of Education Award was presented to Emily O’Rourke. This award goes to the student who best exemplifies the Gospel values.

Let’s avoid city planning extremes

T

here is little room for black and white when it comes to planning Ottawa’s future.

A good case-in-point is the debate that surrounded the decision to turn Main Street, running through Old Ottawa East, into what is described as a “complete street.�

This term describes a streetscape that makes room for all modes of transportation, from walking to cycling to cars to buses or other modes of mass transit. It means wide sidewalks, designated cycling lanes and typically fewer lanes for automobile traffic. It is the type of street that is meant to promote and support sustainable growth of cities, making the streetscape a friendlier place for those living and working in the area.

It is also something that can prove divisive, a situation that played out at a recent transportation committee meeting. Among the opponents of the plan, two councillors on the committee representing suburban wards expressed concern with the effect such a street would have, not on those living in the area, but those passing through or living in areas that might become home to a complete street in the future.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans said reducing the number of lanes on Main from four to two would have a negative effect on commuters from her

ward. Despite the good intentions of the completestreet plan, that’s a concern worth considering.

In a similar vein, Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley said Ottawa needs to “ensure we’re not designing all our streets in a way that chokes off traffic and the ability to transport people and goods.� Also a good point, but neither concern is reason enough not to make Main Street a more pleasant roadway for walkers and cyclists. They shouldn’t be ignored either.

As the city’s intensification policies play out and more people live in the urban core, it will no longer be feasible for more people to drive around their neighbourhood. This scenario won’t be playing out the same way in the suburbs, which will remain reliant on automobiles for decades to come.

The problem is, those people use the city’s urban core – for both work and pleasure – too. When they do, they’ll be riding in the comfort of their own automobiles. If we want our city’s roads to be as pleasant and as efficient as possible, automobiles must remain a big consideration for both city staff and councillors.

Like with many political decisions, the grey area between the black and white is where many of the best answers lie. Making sure Ottawa is a great place for all of us to live, work and play must be the paramount concern in all decisions made at city hall.

What happens when Alfie comes back?

I

t will be a few months before we have an answer to the big sports question, so far, of 2013. Will Ottawa hockey fans boo Daniel Alfredsson?

This is a bit of a trick question, because a percentage of people at the Sens arena have always booed Alfredsson. Those would be the Toronto Maple Leaf fans who have always hated Alfredsson for obscure historical reasons and have stumbled into the wrong arena.

But for most fans, Ottawa fans, the moment of truth will come the first time Alfredsson’s new team, the Detroit Red Wings, visits. Will he be booed, like Alexei Yashin and Dany Heatley, or cheered, like Mike Fisher, when he returned to Scotiabank Place as a member of the Nashville Predators?

Some people will never forgive Alfie for leaving Ottawa. Others will thank him for his many years of inspiring play for the Senators and wish him well. And some people will boo anyone not wearing a Senators uniform.

There are many different kinds of sports fans, as you found out reading the Internet comments on the day Alfredsson announced he was leaving town. While much of the city was in numb shock, some fans had moved on by mid-afternoon.

Online, they had already forgotten Alfie, as

Meanwhile the rest of the city was in mourning. The rest of the city was talking about Alfredsson’s character, his contributions to the city, his leadership, his influence on young hockey players.

People like this root passionately for the home team. They love Ottawa’s players because they play for Ottawa. The more prominent of those players, particularly those who become more involved in the community, are especially beloved.

Because these fans are so loyal to the players, they expect the players to be loyal to them. But hockey, like all sports, like all society, doesn’t seem to work that way anymore.

Players are not loyal to teams, teams are not loyal to players -- at least, not forever.

Stars like Alfredsson leave because they see a better chance of winning somewhere else, or because they are offered more money. Teams trade popular veteran players, like Mike Fisher, because they think they can get something in return, or simply to dump some salary. It is a business, as we are constantly reminded.

This is a tough thing to explain to a young fan and you put off explaining it for as long as you can.

People thought that Alfredsson was different, but it turned out he wasn’t. People thought the Senators would do anything to keep Alfredsson in Ottawa, and it turned out that they wouldn’t.

Some of us would like it to be otherwise, but it’s a business.

We should know that, from looking at the prices we pay to get in and from looking at the reports of the salaries players are making and the vast amounts of cash laid out for television rights. But there is a part of every sports fan that is a starry-eyed little kid, just

wanting to cheer for the home team, worship the stars and not know anything about the financial details.

And it’s probably that little kid who keeps coming back, despite strikes, lockouts, drug scandals and all the other unpleasantness that has been plaguing professional sport in recent years.

We want to believe the best of our athletes and the teams they play for. Our faith isn’t always rewarded, but it is often enough to keep us in the game. Over the years, Alfie was one of those who helped us keep the faith, which is why it is so difficult to see him go.

News - George Lyon was one of early Richmond’s busiest entrepreneurs.

Son of the mayor of a Scottish town, he had joined the 100th Regiment of Foot in 1808, serving until settling in the Richmond area in 1818. Holding the rank of lieutenant, he had fought and been wounded at the Battle of Chippawa in the War of 1812, resulting in a citation for bravery.

When he settled in Richmond, he went on to acquire many land holdings, perhaps acquired as other early settlers pulled up stakes and left the area as Richmond lost its prominence and importance to the growing settlement of Bytown. It is believed that George Lyon controlled over 2,000 acres of land at one time.

During the years 1818 to 1822 when Richmond was a military settlement, George Lyon was the Pension Agent, a plumb job. When the military financial support ceased and the military jobs ended, George Lyon became the Inspecting Field Officer for the Militia, assuming the rank of Captain.

However, George Lyon did not have all of his apples in the military/militia basket.

He began a grist mill operation on the Jock River at Richmond in the early 1820’s, providing a local service for farmers from far and wide. He also started a carding mill for wool, perhaps not at the same location, but in the vicinity of the Jock River.

He ran a licensed still in Richmond from the 1820’s into the 1850’s according to Larry Cotton in his book “Whiskey And Wickedness” (Volume 1). Spirits and beer were popular drinks at the time, particularly among the former soldiers who settled in the area since they were accustomed to a daily ration of beer in their military days.

In 1831, George Lyon, by then an established entrepreneur in Richmond, combined forces with a William Teskey of Appleton in neighbouring Beckwith township to petition the government for money to survey a new road to run between the two communities. It would head west from Richmond, cutting diagonally across Goulbourn to Ashton from where it would continue on to Appleton. This road would enable even more farmers to bring their grain to the Lyon grist mill in Richmond.

George Lyon was active in politics, being elected as one of the provincial representatives for the area in both 1832 and 1834. He also served as a Justice of the Peace for the area.

Politically, he fought for the separation of Bytown and the Carleton area from the District of Bathurst, bringing about the creation of the new Dalhousie District.

George Lyon had six sons, two of whom became mayors of Ottawa while one, Robinson Lyon, became a reeve of Goulbourn township.

George Lyon died on March 26, 1851 at the age of 61.

He was buried in the St. John’s Anglican Church graveyard at Richmond where his gravesite is marked by an elevated, horizontal cairn about four feet by eight feet in size, certainly a final resting place that gives an indication of his prominent role in the affairs of early Richmond.

Archeologist Paul Thibaudeau, who undertook a recent archeological dig in Richmond on land once owned by George Lyon and which contains an historic stone foundation, did considerable research about George Lyon for his archeological report on the site.

However, he is interested in knowing as much as possible about this early Richmond entrepreneur and would like to hear from anyone who has even the smallest tidbit of information about him.

Anyone with any information on George Lyon should contact Mr. Thibaudeau at 613-296-1742 or via email at pthibaud@connect.carleton.ca.

SPORTS Sarah McCarthy Memorial Tournament at Manderley course

Connected to your community

After graduation, she worked at several places and then attended Algonquin College but really found her

calling while working at the LCBO in Richmond where her friendliness and way with people shone.

But then the tragedy on Nov. 27, 2005 happened and her life was ended before she was able to realize her

Special to the News

Sports - The seventh annual Sarah McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament is coming up on Saturday, Aug. 10.

It will take place at Manderley on the Green golf course near North Gower, starting at 10:30 a.m.

Besides the golf, there is an allyou-can-eat buffet dinner, all included in the $100 tournament fee which includes the golf, a cart and the buffet dinner. Those wishing to attend only the dinner can do so at a cost of $30.

All of the funds raised by this tournament are donated to charities and to fund bursaries which are awarded at the schools which Sarah attended during her life.

Organizations helped by this tournament have included Friends of Hospice Ottawa, the Military Families Resource Centre, the Richmond Legion, Main Street Community Services, the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial in Trenton, the Veterans Memory Project, the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School and bursary awards at South Carleton High School, Goulbourn Middle School and Richmond Public School.

Those wishing to attend this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sarah McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament should contact Robin, Pam or Sean at 613-838-2764 or Dawn at 613-489-3382 or 613-2664278.

It was on Nov. 27, 2005 that Sarah McCarthy died horribly after being hit and dragged over 1.5 kilometers by a taxi. Her gruesome death and subsequent police investigation and eventual inquest brought much attention to the tragedy. Sarahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends suffered much grief and are still fighting for justice for Sarah who was 25 at the time of her death.

Born on March 7, 1980, Sarah McCarthy lived for her early years with her family in Munster. The family moved to Richmond in 1986 where she attended Richmond Public School and then Goulbourn Middle School before graduating from South Carleton High School.

work dreams. But this annual golf tournament carries on her spirit and her memory.

Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words in Grove John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The High Price of Big Spenders It all seems rather hopeless for Europeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debtor-nations.

Four of them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Greece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have needed bailouts since the beginning of the global debt crisis. The underlying cause of this is too much government spending, ďŹ nanced with too much debt.

History has shown us that these governments can transform themselves, because it has been done before. Over the last two decades Germany, Israel and Canada have overcome debt and unemployment problems by departing from a culture of big government, towards one of free enterprise.

In Germany only 25 years ago, a ďŹ fth of the population lived under communism. In his ďŹ rst term in ofďŹ ce, Chancellor Gerhard Schroederâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s socialist policies made Germany the sick man of Europe. After four years, the country suffered a 10% unemployment rate and debt levels that exceeded the European Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allowable limits.

In 2003, Schroeder underwent a transformation and introduced policies which cut welfare programs, simpliďŹ ed labour rules and lowered taxes for businesses and workers.

Since then, unemployment has fallen by almost half to 5.3%. This is more than seven points below the Euro-zone average. Unlike its neighbours, the German government is expected to balance its budget by next year.

Israel has also revamped its welfare state. In 2003, thenFinance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recognized the need to change from the socialist policies of the day.

According to the authors of Start-Up Nation: The Story of Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Miracle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Netanyahu cut tax rates, transfer payments, public employee wages and 4,000 government jobs. He also privatized major symbols of the remaining government inďŹ&#x201A;uence on the economy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; such as the national airline, El Al, and the national telecommunications company, Bezeq â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and instituted ďŹ nancial-sector reforms.â&#x20AC;?

News - Words written by famous English playwright William Shakespeare over 400 years ago ďŹ&#x201A;oated beneath the tall pines at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville last Saturday evening as Ottawa professional Shakespearean company â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Foolsâ&#x20AC;? presented â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merry Wives of Windsor.â&#x20AC;?

And the audience of over 200 attending this 100-minute production, one of a summer long series across the city in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Foolsâ&#x20AC;? annual Torchlight Shakespeare tour of neighbourhood parks, not only heard the words penned

by Shakespeare but also some modern modiďŹ cations such as a reference to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the context of realization of an impossible dream (just like the Stanley Cup for the Leafs?). And Alexander Grove was mentioned as the location of the ďŹ nal hoax on the pompous Sir John Falstaff which Shakespeare has happen in a forest, so what better place than the Grove! And even the Grove tennis court was mentioned in passing!

But enjoyment also ďŹ&#x201A;owed not only from the words and situations concocted by Shakespeare himself four centuries ago but also from some of the audience participation moments introduced by â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of

Foolsâ&#x20AC;? in this re-telling of this comedic tale of love and marriage, jealousy and revenge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a battle of the sexes.

When Falstaff hides in a smelly laundry basket to avoid a jealous husband, he is carted off in the basket by two audience members who had been seconded to the role, transferring their role from watchers to participants. They returned again later when the laundry basket made yet another appearance. This time it was the jealous husband who ďŹ&#x201A;ung himself in the basket to ďŹ nd a hidden suitor who was not there but his volcanic throwing of the dirty laundry here and there brought laughter from the audience.

And when Falstaff, disguised as an old woman, is beaten by the irate husband, not because he is a disguised Falstaff but because the husband believes he is the old woman who he regards as a witch, takes refuge from the beating at the rear of the audience, it leads to him returning to the stage area by making his way through the middle of the audience, even sipping on a patronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drink on the way.

More audience participation happened when youth volunteers from the audience, about half a dozen, were engaged to be fairies in the ďŹ nal hoax scene at the oak tree in the forest. After sitting on the so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;purple blanketâ&#x20AC;? in the stage area, these â&#x20AC;&#x153;fairiesâ&#x20AC;?, on cue, danced around

Falstaff, ridiculously costumed as a deer, complete with horns, pinching him as they do so. Applause bursting out indicated the audienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s positive reaction to all of this.

And so it was more than just Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words and plot from centuries ago that made this presentation of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merry Wives of Windsorâ&#x20AC;? so amusing and pertinent to this Stittsville audience in the Grove last Saturday.

Add to this the innovative way that the stage with its virtually sole prop other than the laundry basket â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a door that became a table that became a door that became a table, well you get the idea â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was re-located from scene to scene simply by actors re-positioning it, albeit with what became a familiar rhythmic vocal hum that you soon identiďŹ ed with such action.

Dropping tree scenes over the blue/yellow/green stage backdrops helped set the scene for the ďŹ nal hoax on Falstaff in the forest.

And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the giant puppets, three of them, who were Falstaffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entourage, as it were. A little douse of puppetry challenges the mind and makes any play more whimsical and fun. Their appearance in this production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merry Wives of Windsorâ&#x20AC;? accomplished this.

That is was a warm evening following a gloriously sunny day but an evening with a hint

of a breeze was another bonus for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit by â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Company of Foolsâ&#x20AC;? to Stittsville. It made for ideal relaxing viewing conditions, with the faint, intermittent breeze perhaps keeping the bugs to a minimum.

Costuming was appropriate and convincing. Falstaff in his blue jacket and beard and rotund appearance gave the appearance of a rascally rogue with a penchant for women, albeit with his attraction for them being only in his own mind. Dr. Caius, a French doctor who seems to love the sword, gives the appearance of the passionate but incompetent suitor for the hand of the sought-after Anne Page.

And his sword play with Parson Hugh Evans who is brandishing a cruciďŹ x as a sword shows that his dexterity with the sword does not match his bravado brandishing it.

This production of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merry Wives of Windsorâ&#x20AC;? marks the tenth anniversary season for Torchlight Shakespeare. It all began back in 2003 when the Torchlight Shakespeare format of presenting Shakespearean theatre in neighbourhood parks began.

The play is presented in a different park each night during the summer, giving residents through Ottawa and area an accessible outdoor Shakespeare experience.

The result is that Israel now enjoys one of the most energetic and durable economies, despite having scarce natural resources and no friendly trading partners in the region. The jobless rate has fallen by almost half since the reforms, despite todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global economic slump.

What worked for Israel is working for Canada.

Approximately 20 years ago, Canada signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which expanded one of the most successful trade relationships ever. Since that time, government spending as a share of the economy has plummeted from 50% to 41%, allowing for lower business and personal taxes. Since 1985, the federal government has privatized 30 state-owned entities, totalling $12 billion. These combined factors led the Heritage Foundation to report that Canada has the 6th freest economy in the world, ahead of the United States at 10th.

Such economic freedom has given Canada the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G8, a record number of people employed and a one-third drop in the jobless rate since the reforms began two decades ago. In fact, the story is the same in all three jurisdictions: less debt and more jobs than their competitors.

If the four bail-out nations had taken the same steps 20 years ago, we would not have a debt crisis in Europe today.

Fortunately, it is never too late to do the right thing.

Shakespearean comedy about love, marriage, jealousy, revenge John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” Written by William Shakespeare over 400 years ago and while not considered by critics to be one of his best works, it is still a comedy adventure that plays upon the themes of love and marriage as well as jealousy and revenge.

What’s the story all about. Here is the story synopsis as contained in the program booklet provided by “A Company of Fools” at its presentation of “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville last Saturday evening, July 13.

“In the quaint village of Windsor, Justice Shallow and his nephew Slender grieve to Parson Hugh Evans that Falstaff has robbed them. Falstaff and his friends Bardolf, Nym and Pistol deny the accusations. Shallow and Evans try to convince Slender to marry Anne Page but Slender is not

a ladies man. Evans sends Simple, Slender’s servant, with a letter to Anne’s friend Mistress Quickly to ask for her help. When Simple delivers Evans’ letter to Ms. Quickly at Dr. Caius’ house, Caius is enraged; he wants to marry Anne himself. He sends Simple to challenge Evans to a duel while Fenton, Anne’s true love, asks Ms. Quickly for help in winning Anne.

Meanwhile, Falstaff is having money troubles so he makes a plan to seduce Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page, the Merry Wives, and then steal from them. Pistol and Nym refuse to help so Falstaff has his servant Robin do it.

The Merry Wives receive identical letters from Falstaff and decide to get revenge on him. Nym and Pistol tell Mr. Ford and Mr. Page of Falstaff’s plan: Page has faith in his wife but Ford is jealous. He disguises himself as Mr. Brooke so he can find out the truth from Falstaff. Shallow and the

Host arrive to announce that Evans and Caius will duel. Caius waits for Evans to arrive for the duel in one location, Evans in another; they are being tricked. When they realize this, they become friends.

Mr. Quickly goes to the inn to tell Falstaff that Mrs. Ford will meet him.

Mr. Ford arrives disguised as Brooke and gives Falstaff money to arrange for him (Brooke) to sleep with Mrs. Ford. Falstaff goes to woo Mrs. Ford; Mrs. Page rushes in pretending Mr. Ford is coming. The Wives hid Falstaff in a stinky laundry basket and order it dumped in the river. Jealous Mr. Ford arrives but does not search the basket. Fenton and Anne lament that Mr. Page wants her to wed Slender and Mrs. Page hopes Anne will wed Caius.

Falstaff bemoans having been dumped in the rive. He makes a new plan to woo Mrs. Ford and then tells “Mr. Brooke.” Again Falstaff arrives at Mrs. Ford’s and again Mrs. Page

enters saying Mr. Ford is coming.

The Wives disguise Falstaff as an old witch that Ford hates. Ford falls for the disguise and beats Falstaff, thinking he is the old woman. The Merry Wives reveal to their husbands the tricks they have been playing on Falstaff and all decide to play one last hoax on him. They convince Falstaff to wear a ridiculous costume and meet the wives at Heme’s Oak in the forest at midnight. Everyone presents to be scary fairies, pinch him and give him a fright. At the same time, Mr. Page plans to secretly marry Anne to Slender and Mrs. Page plans to marry her to Caius. All gather at the oak at midnight. Falstaff is tricked and then the truth is revealed to him.

The Pages learn that neither Caius nor Slender married Anne and that instead she eloped with Fenton. Everyone forgives Falstaff, Ford resolves never to be jealous again and all live happily ever after.”

In last Saturday’s production of

“The Merry Wives of Windsor” at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville, Simon Bradshaw performed the roles of Master page, Dr. Caius, Robin, Bardolf and Nym. John Doucet played the roles of Master Ford, Simple, Fenton and Pistol.

Melanie Karin played the roles of Mistress Page, Rugby and Slender while Geoff McBride was Mistress Quickly, Evans and Host of the Garter. Katie Ryerson performed as Mistrees Ford, Anne and Shallow while Matthew John Lundvall was Falstaff.

Catriona Leger directed the production while Erin Finn was the stage manager and Katherine Dermott was the assistant stage manager.

Scott Florence was the production manager and artistic director.

“A Company of Fools” is Ottawa’s independent professional Shakespeare company which tries to produce entertaining and accessible shows based on the works of Shakespeare.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

The Shakespearean comedy “The Merry Wives of Windsor” is presented on a created stage at Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville last Saturday evening by members of the “A Company of Fools,” a professional Shakespeare company which annually presents a series of performances in city of Ottawa parks including Alexander Grove Park.

The Merry Wives of Windsor There is no specific admission charge but “pay-what-you-can” donations are collected at the end of the performance, with the actors dispers-

ing throughout the audience with “hat in hand” quite literally. Donations of $15 per person are encouraged.

“A Company of Fools,” a professional Shakespeare company, was established in 1990 by a group of stu-

dents in the University of Ottawa’s theatre department, with the troupe modeling itself after the rogue Elizabethan players who once entertained audiences out of doors as well as at London’s Globe Theatre.

Retirement home, school linked by pens Special to the News

News - Students in a grade six class at an Ottawa school. Residents of the Richmond Care Home, a retirement home for women living with Alzheimer’s and other related dementia. Two different worlds but nothing that the pen could not span.

Indeed, just four months after the seniors at the Richmond Care Home and the students at St. Elizabeth Catholic School in Ottawa had started their pen pal relationship, four residents of the home visited Ms. Stephanie Brousseau’s class at the school.

This visit was made possible by the enthusiasm of both the Richmond Care Home residents and the students to finally meet face-to-face.

When a planned school field trip to the Richmond Care Home became logistically unfeasible, it was decided that the ladies would visit St. Elizabeth Catholic School instead. So, on Wednesday, June 19, four residents of the Richmond Care Home arrived at the school library to meet the students, bringing along treats and arts and crafts for the students.

At the end of this visit, the residents and the students exchanged gifts, along with a promise to visit again soon. The drawings that the students did during the visit were given to the four ladies to be showcased at the Richmond Care Home.

A plant from the students is now displayed at the front of the Richmond Care Home. It brings smiles to many a face at the Care Home whenever it is mentioned.

After sharing a few final hugs, the ladies returned home and the students went back to their school work for the day. But for those fateful 90 minutes on June 19, the seniors’ dementia and the students’ high needs disappeared. The only thing that remained in that room was a sense of friendship and love felt by everyone there. It was a truly amazing experience for everyone.”

“Having this program with Carefor (Carefor Health & Community Services, a local charity, owns and operates the Richmond Care Home) has been really good for the students, for them to see what’s out there in the community, “ says teacher Stephanie Brousseau. “We’ve benefitted tre-

“I think this is a very good program,” says Jackie Chevier, a Richmond Care Home resident and one of those who visited with the students.

“It’s great because we can make a difference for the children. You tell them that you love them and that you hope to see them again and it’s all very nice.”

“It’s nice that we get to know the children and they get to know us,” Ms. Chevier says. “I really hope that we get to visit them again soon.”

And this should happen. Teacher Stephanie Brousseau and Richmond Care Home manager Robin Meyers have agreed to continue the program in the coming school year. In September, they will establish some key dates and times such as Halloween, Christmas and Easter when the two groups will write each other as pen pals.

The students will be different and so will some of the residents but the rewards and benefits from the program for both groups will be the same.

The emotion that is felt by the

Richmond Care Home residents when they read the letters from the students or when they work to write a letter to the students is, in the words of Richmond Care Home manager Robin Meyers, “powerful.” She admits that for some of the residents, writing letters is very challenging because words and thoughts do not come easily for them because of their condition.

Richmond Care Home write a theme letter and leave blanks for the ladies to fill in. This creates discussion and reminiscences that are good for the ladies who live at the Richmond Care Home. It provides them with a positive experience in a time of their lives living with dementia that can be scary and discouraging as things change for them.

“Although they may not be able to remember specific children or the visits or the letters, they can experience the positive reminder of the letter or children when the staff can give them as they reminiscence, “ manager Robin Meyers relates in an email. “This is as they say …priceless,” she notes.

The relationship between the residents of the Richmond Care Home and Ms. Stephanie Brousseau’s grade six class at St. Elizabeth Catholic

School began last February. Kelly Torrance, a volunteer at the school, helped start the pen pal program by providing the seniors at the Richmond Care Home with Valentine’s Day crafts and letters to be sent to the students. Ms. Torrance, whose grandmother is a resident at the Richmond Care Home, credited the dedicated staff at the Richmond Care Home for successfully incorporating the pen pal program into the residents’ daily activities.

“The Carefor staff made a big difference by really getting behind this program,” Ms. Torrance says. “They took the initiative to help the seniors and students connect and I just think it was terrific that Carefor made the program so successful.”

After receiving the initial Valentines, Ms. Brousseau’s class was motivated to start a pen pal relationship with the Richmond Care Home residents. This pen pal program ended up enriching the lives of the students, many of whom come from a challenging background in a high-risk neighbourhood.

“The students love writing the letters,” Ms. Brousseau says. “They were asking me when the grandmas were going to visit and they really wanted to go visit the grandmas at their home,” she adds, noting that the pen pal experience was one of the

highlights of the school year for the students.

“Many of the kids at this school live with a single parent and it’s a bit of a tough neighbourhood to be in, so they need as much love as they can get,” Ms. Brousseau says. “Carefor’s Richmond Care Home ladies helped the children feel really special through this program and the kids also felt like they were giving back to the community – that is something that every kid needs to learn.”

The Richmond Care Home in Richmond is a secure, 16 bed residential bungalow style retirement home for women living with Alzheimer’s and other related dementia. Owned and operated by Carefor Health & Community Services, the Richmond Care Home serves the needs of families in Ottawa, Stittsville, Richmond and the surrounding areas. It provides a plethora of programs and services to keep its residents active, healthy and happy. This pen pal relationship with students at St. Elizabeth Catholic School gave the residents of the Richmond Care Home a special chance to make a positive impact on a much younger section of the community.

Ottawa Food Bank growing vegetables in Goulbourn John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

size of this Food Bank vegetable garden, not simply to grow more crops but to have more leeway in how he rotates the crops on the site. Right now, he is on a two year rotation at the site but he points out that the better organic farms practice three to four year crop rotations. But to do this, he would need more acerage.

Mr. Gray is also considering growing garlic as well as some late beans and turnips in the future.

Mr. Gray describes himself as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;urban farmer,â&#x20AC;? having growing up on the urban fringe of Montreal.

He had an interest in agriculture but studied science in school. He eventually studied agriculture in British Columbia, graduating in 2007 and then working at an organic farm in the Okanagan area. However, he was drawn back east due to family and personal factors and after a brief stint with Agriculture Canada, he assumed his current position as community harvest coordinator with the Ottawa Food Bank where he is now in his fourth year.

The community harvest program has a cube van for transportation of the gardenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harvest. Purchase of the cube van was made possible thanks to a grant from the Ontario Association of Food Banks.

Goulbourn farmer Tom Black got involved in all of this after hearing from a brother-in-law in the Calgary area about farmers there dedicating one acre of their land to growing vegetables and then donating them to local food banks. He thought this was a good idea and he phoned to run it past the Ottawa Food Bank, not knowing about the Food Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vegetable garden program which was underway then at the Manotick Station site. His inquiry resulted in him getting to talk with Jason and the rest is history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a two acre garden last year and now this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger garden covering nearly four acres.

Last Saturday, this Ottawa Food Bank vegetable garden at the Black farm was one of the stops on the annual garden tour held by the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society in a partnership with the Stittsville United Church this year.

Mr. Gray was on hand to give a tour of the garden and to answer any questions about the garden from the contingent of about 15 tour-goers who showed up for the time-sensitive visit which was scheduled for 10 a.m. Visitors parked along the MansďŹ eld Road at the south end of the Black farm and walked into the site along a farm lane. All other stops on the garden tour had no such deďŹ nite time assigned to them as people could simply show up at them anytime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

News - The soil of Goulbourn is providing fresh vegetables for numerous clients such as shelters and soup kitchens supplied by the Ottawa Food Bank.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all happening at a four acre patch of vegetable garden being grown and maintained by the Ottawa Food Bank through its community harvest program on the FallowďŹ eld Road farm of Tom Black who not only has donated the use of the land but is also an active volunteer helping with the project.

In fact, community harvest coordinator Jason Gray calls Mr. Black â&#x20AC;&#x153;our best volunteer of all,â&#x20AC;? as he has already contributed over 40 hours of volunteer work this year besides providing a tractor, farm implements and his expertise at ďŹ xing machinery, as well as plowing the site in the spring and fall.

Last year, which was the Ottawa Food Bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst season at this site, 14,000 pounds of vegetables were produced. And this was from a smaller patch of ground and in a drought-like summer that essentially devastated the potato crop.

But this year the goal for the expanded garden is 22,000 pounds of produce and Mr. Gray believes that it may be closer to 30,000 pounds because of the improved potato crop this year.

All of this is unique in Ontario.

While there are a couple of other gardens supplying Food Banks in the province, this is the only one of such a size and with such a diversity of crops.

A total of 14 different crops are being grown at this vegetable garden this year. There are seven varieties of potatoes being grown this year as Mr. Gray wants to see which varieties do best in the soil at this particular site.

It is also important to have different varieties so that not all of the harvest comes at one time, something which would overwhelm the Food Bank and the agencies which it supports through this fresh vegetable program.

Other crops include cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, beets, cabbage, tomatoes, broccoli, cantaloupe, and a selection of herbs such as savory and rosemary. The herbs are part of the crop thanks to the generosity of Rideau Nursery which this year donated the plants. Indeed, Rideau Nursery has been a big supporter of this Food Bank garden program, having donated plants such as tomatoes to it for three years now.

This whole concept of a vegetable garden to grow fresh produce for the

Ottawa Food Bank to distribute to the 30 to 40 agencies and programs which its supports with food began in the year 2010 with a half-acre pilot project in the Manotick Station area.

Then, two years ago, Tom Black offered his site and last year the Ottawa Food Bank through Mr. Gray operated both sites â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at Manotick Station and at the Black farm.

This year, everything has been consolidated at the Black farm site with an increased acerage.

A well has been drilled at the site thanks to the generosity of Stanton Drilling which donated its work, something to the tune of $6,000.

The Food Bank has purchased surface irrigation for the garden but so far this year the irrigation has only had to be used three times due to the rainy weather conditions.

The Food Bank has sprinklers to dispense the water in the crop areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is looking nice and lush this year,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Gray says about his crops so far.

In addition, this year the Food Bank has purchased insect netting to go over some of the crops. This prevents insects from getting at the crop.

Such netting is a virtual necessity in an organic garden operation like Mr. Gray is trying to run at this site.

Growing crops organically is a decision that Mr. Gray made because he believes in the concept.

A major component in this Food Bank garden operation, though, is the efforts of volunteers. Mr. Gray himself works 50 hours per week at the site, along with another Food Bank staff member. But all of the rest of the work, which includes a lot of manual labour hand weeding the long rows of vegetables, is done by volunteers. This could be individuals who volunteer or corporate groups ranging from 18 to 30 people who take on the task.

Mr. Gray calls this volunteer help â&#x20AC;&#x153;crucialâ&#x20AC;? to the whole operation.

And besides the fact that he receives many â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;? from these volunteers for giving them the opportunity to help out, he points to the fact that the volunteers keep coming back year after year as an indication that they enjoy being involved.

He notes that one group has even made it into a family outing, complete with a BBQ. Mr. Gray says that he is always looking for more volunteers to help out at the site. All someone who wants to volunteer must do is email him at jason@theottawafoodbank.ca and the person will get email notice of volunteer opportunities when they come up.

Mr. Gray would like to expand the

Main Street Community Services in Stittsville provides services for children and youth with special needs and their families.

They are provided in a unique, caring way.

But this not-forprofit registered charity would not be able to do what it does were it not for the generosity of the community.

That’s because Main Street Community Services depends heavily on fundraising to carry on its programs and services.

Main Street Community Services is located in part of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

July 15th 2013 OTTAWA POLICE CHARGES OTTAWA MAN IN RELATION TO RECENT THEFTS FROM VEHICLES The Ottawa Police Service has charged an Ottawa man in connection to thefts from vehicles occurring in Stittsville and Kanata.

The individual was arrested on July 5th and charged with a total of 14 criminal charges, including: four counts of Breach of Probation, three counts of Theft under $5000, three counts of Loitering/prowling at night on another personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property, as well as theft of a credit card, possession/use of a stolen credit card, and two counts of possession of stolen property.

He has since been remanded in custody.

The Ottawa Police continue to urge residents to remove valuables and lock parked vehicles.

UPCOMING RAMP CLOSURES AND LANE REDUCTIONS ON HIGHWAY 417 There are many ramp and lane reductions being implemented throughout the summer. Signage will be in place to advise commuters of traffic and road changes and motorists are reminded to use caution when travelling through construction zones. With all of the construction-related activities underway, residents are encouraged to consider options such as transit, walking, cycling or carpooling.

News - Ottawa councillors once again said they were holding their noses as they voted on July 9 to make the Rideau-Carleton Raceway the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only option for a new casino site.

But the ďŹ nal vote at city council might see a different result, depending on additional legal information the city solicitor will bring to the meeting after representatives from the Ottawa Senators and Canadian Tire Centre blasted the city for what they say is a faulty and possibly illegal process of choosing where to put a new gambling facility.

While council voted in principle last fall to support a new casino, Watson said changes in leadership at Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park and the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation opened an opportunity for the city to specify where it wants a casino, and he now thinks the facility should be at the Rideau-Carleton Raceway.

Without it, the raceway and the approximately 1,000 jobs provided by the south Ottawa business would be no more, Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the only way to protect slots at the raceway,â&#x20AC;? he said.

But critics of the move blasted the city for going down a road of sole-sourcing the bid for a new casino.

While Watson contends that any hopeful casino operator could submit a bid and then operate a casino at the raceway, critics said in a practical sense, the location and business opera-

tions must be linked.

Senators owner Eugene Melnyk spoke to the committee at length, pleading for an equal chance to submit his bid for a casino at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not asking for a handout. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking for a shot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a shot to make money so I can do this,â&#x20AC;? he said, referring to running his hockey team despite ďŹ nancial losses.

The Senators operate at a great ďŹ nancial loss and a casino could help prop up the business, Melnyk said. But he brushed off the suggestion that he was threatening to take the team elsewhere if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the chance to bid to build a casino. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this for 10 years. Why stop now?â&#x20AC;? Melnyk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still love this city.â&#x20AC;?

City solicitor Rick Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor agreed to get additional legal advice from third-party lawyers after the mayor and council received a tongue lashing from Capital Sports and Entertainment lawyer Paul Webber. He called Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motion â&#x20AC;&#x153;unlawfulâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;morally and ethicallyâ&#x20AC;? unsound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are bonusing a business. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how I can be more clear than that,â&#x20AC;? Webber said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only does it not pass the smell test, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not legal.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not true â&#x20AC;&#x201C; legal advice from an arms-length ďŹ rm that defended the Lansdowne redevelopment contract indicated the city is allowed to specify a location. But Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor said he would like to look at the matter in more depth, given the â&#x20AC;&#x153;aggressiveâ&#x20AC;? nature of comments from delegates like

The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society will be holding its first meeting of the fall on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville, with guest speaker Brian Carson speaking on the topic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ottawa Valley Trilliums: Search & Discovery.â&#x20AC;?

surprised to hear the city manager say that the Rideau Carleton Raceway would remain open and operated by the OLG or a subcontractor if the city rejected OLGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chosen option for a casino operator and location.

College Coun. Rick Chiarelli said that when he asked the same question last fall, he and council were told that rejecting OLGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino choice would mean the slots at the raceway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and effectively, the raceway facility itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; would shut down. The news even came as a surprise to the representatives of the raceway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new but a positive wrinkle,â&#x20AC;? Lawryk said.

City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said that could end up being the result if the OLG chose not to renew its slots contract with the raceway.

Rideau-Goulbourn Coun.

Scott Moffatt, who opposes a casino, said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to say whether the original vote last November would have had a different result if councillors knew the OLG would be open to continuing to operate the slots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears the direction of the OLG has changed since Wynne came in,â&#x20AC;? Moffatt said.

But that option didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist at the time, he added. The previous OLG power brokers were adamant that gambling would be in the urban area, or Ottawa wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a gambling facility at all, Moffatt said.

The OLG might continue operating slots at the raceway if city council turned down a new casino, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The problem is, for how long? We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know that,â&#x20AC;?

Moffatt said.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun.

Diane Deans said the goal of saving the raceway and the jobs it provides is laudable, but the city should have more information before it makes moves to save one business at the expense of another, such as a hockey team like the Senators.

Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri, whose ward contains the Canadian Tire Centre, took a similar stance. He has supported the possibility of a new casino at the arena all along, he said, but he would like to see it win in an open and competitive bidding process.

Alex Lawryk, spokesman for Rideau Carleton Entertainment, said the ďŹ nance and economic development committee made the right decision on solid legal footing, but he supported councillors wanting to get more legal information at the city council meeting on July 17. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They also said last November when they voted to move forward with the OLG program that they were going to hold their noses and vote then. So theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still holding their noses and voting.â&#x20AC;?

While the raceway would like its own casino bid to win, Lawryk said the group would still be satisďŹ ed if it became the landlord to another casino operator, since that would still support the racewayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations and allow it to continue.

The only dissenting vote at the ďŹ nance and economic development committee meeting was from Deans, who has been vocally opposed to a new casino.

SPORTS In February of this year, the City of Ottawa facilitated a public meeting for Caivan Developments’ application for 1000 homes in the Western Development Lands. For that meeting, I gave two months notice and committed to doing the same for Mattamy Homes’ application for 1100 homes.

The public meeting for this application will be held on Thursday, September 12th, 2013 at 6:30pm at the Richmond Arena in the upstairs hall.

Councillor for Hire: Tim Horton’s On December 1st, 2012, I had the opportunity to take part in the grand opening ceremony of Rideau-Goulbourn’s first ever Tim Horton’s! At that time, owner Susan Dennison invited me to come and work for a day after we were chatting about my Councillor for Hire initiative. On June 27th, I had the pleasure of working a morning shift at Richmond’s Tim Horton’s from 6:00am until 10:00pm. I discovered quite quickly that a lot of people are on their way to work much earlier than I am. Between 6:00am and 7:30am, the drive thru line up was easily filled the entire time. Wanting to assure that everything went smoothly, I worked the inside counter!

It was fun to work alongside a long time Richmond resident, as her trainee, and help serve a lot of familiar faces.

Tim Horton’s has quickly become a part of our community with many Richmond regulars and also many local employees.

Between the Tim Horton’s and the new Independent Grocer, we now have more job opportunities in the village for people of all ages and that is evident when you look at the good people serving your morning coffee.

The morning went by incredibly fast and I was only heckled once (Larry Shouldice). The only mistake I really made was minor in that every now and then, I’d put the cup under the milk dispenser and press the cream button. When this happens, I’m essentially watching cream pour out on to the counter all the while holding my empty cup. All in all though, I don’t believe I lost Tim Horton’s any customers and at the end of the day, what more can you ask for?

I’d like to thank Susan for inviting me to work for the morning; the staff for letting me get in your way for four hours, and my wife for happily accepting her Iced Capp even though she clearly ordered an Iced Capp Mocha Supreme.

Next week, I’ll talk about my July Councillor for Hire experience, Rideau Pines Farm.

Stittsville 56ers in Carp tournament Jeff Maguire Special to the News

Sports - The success of the ‘Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament’ has created more interest and that will be reflected this year as the competition will feature a dozen teams, including some of the best on the continent.

The expanded, sixth annual men’s tournament opens Friday night, July 26 in Carp and continues all day Saturday (July 27) before concluding with the championship game late Sunday (July 28).

Among the entrants are Quebec powerhouse Donnaconna Blue Sox, Elkland Thunderbellys, a top-flight squad from Pennsylvania along with two teams from Napanee and a new participant, the Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning. Sharon was champions of the Oshawa City and District Fastball League last season.

Seven teams from the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) should create plenty of interest. Among them are local favourites Carp I4C Victory and Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric who will battle it out in the same pool (division).

The GOFL contingent will be led by three-time defending league champion Kars Aces. Kars, the perennial district champions, currently leads the South Division of the eight-team league.

Joining the local loop this season is Micksburg Twins from the Pembroke area in the Upper Ottawa Valley. Twins have made a major impression in their first GOFL season. They lead the North Division and the entire league at this stage of the campaign with an impressive 9-2 record.

“It’s been a long ride but this year, for the first time, we were able to reach our goal of 12 teams for the tournament,” says Chris Read, son of the late Gil Read and one of the chief organizers of the competition.

Gil Read died tragically in 2007 and the

competition, to honour the memory of the long-time fastball coach, began at Carlington Park in Ottawa the following year. The event was moved to Carp in 2010 to take advantage of superior facilities at the village’s fairgrounds.

“We actually had 16 teams who expressed interest this year. But we decided to go with 12. Still, it’s good for the future that so many teams are interested in our tournament now,” Read observes.

The participants have been split into three, four-team pools. There will be four round-robin games played Friday night and 14 on Saturday (July 27). The top two clubs in each division, plus two wild cards, will advance to the playoffs on Sunday. All teams will seed according to a tie-breaking formula agreed on prior to the competition, Read observes. With eight teams left in the event four sudden death, quarter final games will be played Sunday morning. At 1 p.m. the highest surviving seed will battle the lowest survivor in one semi-final. At the same time the remaining teams dual for the other place in the final. The championship game is set for 3:30 p.m. (time approximate).

All funds raised during the competition will go to assist underprivileged children who wish to play organized sports.

Donnacona (Quebec City area) won the 2011 competition. Elkland Thunderbellys (Elkland is located in north-central Pennsylvania) have enjoyed strong success over the years. They are making their second straight appearance in the Gil Read memorial. Ottawa Team Easton Thunder (now Kars) captured the first two events in 2008 and 2009.

The Lake Ontario area town of Napanee will be represented by the well regarded Napanee Express organization. They will field both Senior and Junior teams in the tournament this year.

Besides Carp, Fitzroy Harbour, Kars and Micksburg the other three GOFL entries are Stittsville 56ers, Manotick Taylor’s Blitz

Four free concerts coming up in August John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Thursday music nightsare coming up in Goulbourn this August.

That’s when four free concerts will be staged, two in Richmond and two in Stittsville, all thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management in cooperation with Rural West Recreation of the city of Ottawa.

They will be happening on consecutive Thursdays in August.

On Thursday, Aug. 1, the group Blackwell, a country music trio comprised of Carey Blackwell, his brother Danny Blackwell and singer/ songwriter Braiden Turner, will be performing at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond, starting at 7 p.m. Blackwell performs a blend of country rock along with pop and haunting ballads.

On Thursday, Aug. 8, the setting is again the Richmond fairgrounds with the Heartbeats, an Ottawa area rock ‘n roll five-piece show band that specializes in the nostalgic look and memorable songs of the 1950s and 1960s. It will be an evening of twist and jive and romantic oldies ballads. The band has been performing its golden oldies style of music throughout the Ottawa Valley for over 25 years.

Band members include Denny Welburn on lead guitar, Pat Hallett on rhythm guitar, Roger Heroux on bass guitar, Roddy McCann on sax

and Richard Wills on drums.

Among the songs in the Heartbeats repertoire are “Tutti Frutti” by Little Richard, “Sixteen Candles” by the Crests, “Great Balls of Fire” by Jerry Lee Lewis, “Wake Up Little Suzie” by the Everly Brothers, “Diana” by Paul Anka, “Maybelline” by Chuck Berry, “Blue Suede Shoes”

by Carl Perkins, “Peggy Sue” by Buddy Holly, “La Bamba” by Richie Valens, “Runaway” by Del Shannon and “Can’t Help Fallin’ in Love”

by Elvis Presley, “Dream Lover” by Bobby Darin, “Satisfaction” by the Rolling Stones, “Surfin’ USA” by the Beach Boys, “Mountain of Love” by Johnny Rivers and more. But you get the idea – it’s the music of the 50s and 60s brought to life in 2013.

On Thursday, Aug. 15, the site of these free Thursday evening concerts will switch to Village Square Park in Stittsville.

Thursday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m. will see Sidewinder perform while the Mick Armitage Band will be featured at the concert on Thursday, Aug. 22.

While these concerts will run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., there will be a cash only BBQ held before all of the concerts, starting at 6 p.m. at each site. All funds raised by these BBQs will go to support local youth initiatives.

In addition, as has been the case in past years at the concerts at Village Square Park, donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) will be accepted at these concerts.

SVA pays tribute to its award recipients john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) paid tribute to the recipients of the annual Award for Excellence in Civic Leadership which it sponsors at each of the three local high schools by hosting them at the SVA’s executive meeting last Thursday, July 11.

The three recipients along with one of the runners-up were present, with each given the opportunity to tell members of the SVA executive what the future holds for them now that they have graduated from high school.

In addition, all four were presented with a trio of red roses by SVA president Phil Sweetnam on behalf of the SVA executive.

Sara Dawe, who received the SVA Award for Excellence in Civic Leadership at this year’s graduation ceremony for Sacred Heart Catholic High School, will be attending Memorial University in Newfoundland in the fall, studying biology. She is enrolled through the Canadian Forces officer training program, meaning that she will become a naval officer upon graduation. In all, it is a 12 year commitment to the Canadian Forces but she views it as an amazing opportunity involving both a university education and a guaranteed career.

Shelby Heath, who received the SVA Award for Excellence in Civic Leadership at South Carleton High School’s commencement ceremony at the end of June, will be attending Trent University in Peterborough in the fall, taking an environmental resource science program. In the future, she hopes to work at improving the environment.

Alison Gervais, who received the SVA Award for Excellence in Civic Leadership at the Frederick Banting Alternate Site graduation ceremony, will be attending the University of Ottawa this fall, majoring in chemistry.

One of the runners-up for the award, Andrea Sedgwick, was also in attendance at the SVA meeting. She was a finalist for the award at South Carleton High School and in the fall she will be taking an environmental science program at the University of Ottawa.

She has a particular interest in helping people who are battling cancer.

SVA president Phil Sweetnam praised these four young people for their tremendous skill and commitment to help others and their community.

He said that he has found that the real rewards in life come from what a person can contribute to his or her community and he thanked the four youth for their commitment to their community.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was present at the SVA meeting, praised the four recipients for their leadership and wishes them the best of luck in

their futures.

The SVA’s Award for Excellence in Civic Leadership, given to a graduating student at each of the three high schools in Stittsville and Richmond, goes to a student who has demonstrated leadership ability, who has personal integrity and vision, who has passion for his or her convictions and who has the ability to communicate effectively.

This SVA award is meant to encourage leadership in civic involvement among youth who may continue their involvement and contribution in their adult lives.

The award is presented annual at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, at South Carleton High School in Richmond and at Frederick Banting Alternate Program in Stittsville.

Nordic pole walking clinic in Stittsville - and it’s free!

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s great exercise. It’s inexpensive. It can be done virtually anywhere, at any time. And it’s as easy as walking. In fact, it is walking – Nordic pole walking.

The only difference with regular walking is that there are poles involved, one for each hand. And this difference makes all the difference, as it were, because using the poles greatly enhances the health value of your exercising.

You can find out all about Nordic pole walking and how its done at a free Nordic pole walking clinic that is being held in Stittsville this com-

ing Monday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Pioneer Plains Park in the Jackson Trails subdivision (at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Kimpton Drive). It is being conducted by Janet Crawford, a nurse who has become a passionate advocate of Nordic pole walking and its health benefits and who has been conducting free Nordic pole walking clinics in local communities.

If going to this free clinic, all you need is to dress appropriately for the weather conditions and wear comfortable walking shoes. That’s all. Janet Crawford will provide poles for you to use and will give you all the instruction necessary on the proper technique in using the poles to gain

maximum benefit from using them while walking.

But also, anyone who is planning on attending this free clinic should let Janet know that you are coming. This is just so that she will have enough poles with her so that everyone has a pair. Notifying Janet is easy: just email her at jcrawford6122@hotmail. com or call her at 613-623-2978.

These clinics usually attract those 16 years of age and over but don’t worry about your fitness level. Janet says that the clinic and, indeed Nordic pole walking, are suitable for those of all fitness levels.

And all you need is this one clinic and you have everything you need, except purchasing your own set of

poles. Janet Crawford can help you with this in that she does sell poles but you by no means have to purchase them from her.

“After this clinic, they’re ready to go,” Ms. Crawford says about those who participate in the clinic which lasts one to one and a half hours. The idea of the clinic is not only to provide you with the proper technique to get the most out of your Nordic pole walking but also it is a great opportunity to discover if Nordic pole walking is something that you will enjoy or not. It’s like a free trial run, after which you can decide if this is an activity for you or not.

Nordic pole walking can be done alone or with others or even with a

group if there is enough interest in forming one. Such groups perhaps meet once a week for group walks.

But Nordic pole walking lends itself to individual participation.

Once you have your own poles, you can walk out your door and go for a walk whenever you want to, Ms. Crawford says. And this is how most people do it.

It’s the health benefits that are most glaring in all of this. Just by adding poles to walking, your vastly increase your caloric burn and make the exercise much more beneficial.

That’s because you are usually more of your body muscles when you add poles to ordinary walking.

Pole walking advocate Patricia Leboeuf

pleboeuf@metroland.com

News – Janet Crawford is hosting a free Nordic pole walking clinic in Stittsville this Monday, July 22. And she is doing this simply because she is a Nordic pole walking advocate.

“I just have a passion with sharing this with the public,” she said.

Crawford is a registered nurse and her enthusiasm for the sport grew out of her job.

One of her previous roles was coaching clients with diabetes, weight or cholesterol issues into a healthy lifestyle.

“Physical activity in a lot of those cases is actually at least if not more important than food choices that we make,” she said.

Discovering a sport that would

satisfy a variety of health requirements occurred during a conference on Nordic pole walking. As the proven benefits were listed, a mental light bulb went on.

“I knew this was the answer for a lot of people, for myself as well,” Crawford said. “I tried the gym. I’ve tried the jogging thing. I’ve tried different physical activities, but have never found anything that really clicked or love, but this did.”

She decided then and there to become an instructor.

“Most people I introduce it too really like it,” said Crawford. “It’s easy to learn and effective.”

To promote the sport, she hosts free clinics (poles provided), does speeches on its benefits and shares her knowledge to anybody who

wants to hear it.

“Most people know that, or realize, that we need to get some physical activity,” said the instructor. “You hear about it for heart and stroke, you read about it for diabetes, you read about it with the cancer society.”

“In my experience as a nurse, one of the biggest challenges for people if finding what type of exercises are fun, social, not a chore, doesn’t take a lot of time,” she added. “I’m just offering it to people. If it works for the lifestyle and activity level, great and if it doesn’t that’s ok too. I just deliver the information.”

Even injured or out of shape people can participate. Many doctors are now recommending that their patients take on the sport before and after knee and hip replacements to ease healing.

With the addition of poles, walking is transformed into a low-impact, resistance high cardiovascular work-

out where participants do not feel exhausted at the end.

“It’s a total body workout,” she said. “Compared to brisk exercise walking and even light jogging, in those instances you are using less than 50 per cent of muscles waist down.”

When she walks in Nordic pole walking, Crawford’s back is ramrod straight, her hands clenched around the poles and her arms are strong.

During a typical 45 minute excursion, she uses 90 per cent of her body muscles and burns up to 46 per cent more calories than regular walkers.

She hopes that someday Nordic walking will be the norm.

“If you walk, add a set of poles and you’ve got double the bang for your buck instantly,” she says.

“In Germany, if you are exercise walking without poles people say, ‘Where’s your poles?’” she added.

“It’s just been around for several years and they’ve been doing it for

way longer.”

More than 30 years ago, the sport was born after cross-country skiers in Finland started using their poles while hiking to keep in shape during the off season.

Studies were done on these walkers’ metabolic rate, caloric burn and overall health and it was discovered that the poles gave them an added boost. By pushing the poles into the ground, they engaged their upper body as well as their lower body.

It quickly grew in popularity all across Europe, arriving in North America in the mid-80s.Now more than seven million people are involved in the sport and the number is growing.

For more information on Nordic pole walking or to attend the free clinic this Monday, July 22 in Stittsville, please contact Janet Crawford at 613-623-2978 or at jcrawford6122@ hotmail.com.

Nordic pole walking clinic at Pioneer Plains Park Continued from page 30

And an added benefit is that even though the health benefits are greatly enhanced by waking with poles, it is not really not more difficult than walking. So you are not exhausted at the end of your pole walk even though you are reaping so many more exercise benefits from it.

Ms. Crawford says that those aged 50 and over seem to really love Nordic pole walking.

The technique is easy to learn and the poles are adjustable so that you can easily make them the height that they need to be for your own personal use.

Ms. Crawford herself has been doing Nordic

pole walking for about two years. She learned about it through her nursing work and decided to become an instructor and give free clinics about it because she loves it and the benefits that accrue from it. She says that she would love to get everyone walking with poles, noting that adding the use of poles makes a 30 minute Nordic pole walking outing the equivalent of a brisk 55 minute exercise walk.

“You do get double the bang for your buck,” she says while adding that it is exercise that a person can easily fit into his or her day.

Nordic pole walking began in Finland where cross country skiers found that walking with poles in the off-season helped them stay in

shape. Ensuing studies showed that walking with poles is even better for fitness maintenance than cycling which only uses isolated muscles.

Nordic pole walking uses about 90 percent of a body’s muscles.

“It’s a total body fitness,” Ms. Crawford says about Nordic pole walking.

She claims that Nordic pole walking is the best preventative exercise available for those who are not athletes. You just grab your poles and get out and walk, she explains.

The website www.nordixx.com carries lots of information about Nordic pole walking and

its exercise benefits.

So, here’s your chance to try out Nordic pole walking, all for free. This free Nordic pole walking clinic being held by Janet Crawford will take place this Monday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Pioneer Plains Park along Stittsville Main Street in the Jackson Trails subdivision north of Hazeldean Road. Remember, the poles will be provided. But you should let Ms. Crawford know if you are planning to attend so that she can have enough poles with her for everyone. You can contact her at jcrawford6122@ hotmail.com or at 613-623-2978.

Winning $3,725 at World Series of Poker John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Winning locally in Red Hot Poker Tour play at Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill in Stittsville, Exciting. Winning at a Tournament of Champions in Toronto. Awesome. And then playing in the World Series of Poker in Las Vegan and even winning some money there. Priceless.

This has been the recent experience of Stittsville resident Moe Delorme, a 65 year old retired police officer who came home from Las Vegas after Canada Day with $3,725 in winnings after finishing 166th out of 2,814 players in a World Series of Poker tournament. Not bad for a fellow who has only played poker for the past seven to eight years, all in various amateur leagues around the city. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play poker online and readily admits that he is strictly an amateur who plays poker as a pastime.

He initially saw it being played on television, thought that it looked complicated but challenging and started playing.

Moe plays principally weekly in the Red Hot Poker Tour at Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill in Stittsville which is an amateur league.

There is no cost to take part other than perhaps ordering a meal or a drink while at Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

He won the season championship at Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, earning him a seat at the Tournament of Champions in Toronto which involved 140 players.

He ended up winning that, with his prize being a seat at the World Series of Poker tournament in Las Vegas at the end of June. A seat in this tournament goes for $1,500 so it was quite a prize.

In addition, he received his travel and accommodation expenses.

He was one of ten players from Canada in this World Series of Poker tournament which attracted not only

He admits that he was doing well on the second day, increasing his chips up to around 80,000 when he confesses that he made a bad play and was eliminated. He says that if he had been smarter at the time, he would have folded rather than called and would have remained in the game.

While not making excuses, he admits that he was tired from the very long first day of action but also says that he was very happy to have finished in the money of the tournament.

After being eliminated, he did play in another smaller poker tournament the next day.

He says that he did well in it but did not finish in the money.

Moe says that he had been to Las Vegas previously but not to play poker. Rather, he played the penny slots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a big gambler,â&#x20AC;? he says.

amateurs like himself but also professionals including some that are seen on television.

On the first day of the three-day knockout tournament, Moe played for 13 straight hours, finishing at 2 a.m. Those who made it through the first day finished with an average of 38,600 chips each. Moe finished this first day with 49,200 chips, above the average.

He was back at 1 p.m. the next day which was the day before Canada Day, knowing that he had to outlast 23 other players to finish up in the money. He eventually was knocked out at the 166th position but this ended up being good for a payday of $3,725.

A total of 297 players in the tournament did end up getting some prize money, with the first place winner receiving a whopping $665,397.

Moe says that he got lucky on the first day of the tournament as he was almost knocked out early in the ac-

He says that the World Series of Poker tournament was what he expected in that the level of play was better than what he encounters locally. He says that there was more strategy being employed by the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mentally itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite challenging,â&#x20AC;?

Moe says about poker, noting that it can be very difficult at times. Just when you think you have it figured out, lady luck will rise up and kick you, he notes.

He says that there are a multitude of things that a player has to take into consideration when playing. This can range from the number of chips that a player has to where he or she is sitting at the table to the characteristics of the player playing just before you.

He says that one of the problems with amateur players like himself is that they tend to play too many hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to have patience,â&#x20AC;? Moe says.

He says that poker shown on television is somewhat deceptive as only the best hands are shown. He says that in poker, there are a lot of hands where everyone folds.

Moe says that at the World Series of Poker tournament, everyone at the ten-player tables was quite quiet although there was some table talk.

He says that there was, though, the continual noise from the shuffling of chips as the close to 3,000 players, predominately men, played in the huge room.

One of the highlights of the Las Vegas experience for Moe was a dinner arranged by the Red Hot Poker Tour which featured Kara Scott, a well-known poker hostess and player, as the guest speaker. He got to meet this broadcaster and professional poker player.

Moe calls the whole Las Vegas experience â&#x20AC;&#x153;great,â&#x20AC;? an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing adventure,â&#x20AC;? saying the time went by quickly. He admits that at such a tournament, a person does not eat properly. He also said that the room temperature is fairly cold, requiring a sweater.

He says that it is always â&#x20AC;&#x153;exciting to winâ&#x20AC;? in poker, like in anything else, whether it be bingo or another activity. He says that winning gives a player a feeling of accomplishment and a feeling that maybe they can be better and perhaps even the best.

Moe will be attending another Tournament of Champions in Montreal in September as a result of his win in the Tournament of Champions tournament in Toronto which gave him his entry in the World Series of Poker event.

He goes to Hurleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Stittsville regularly to compete in the local Red Hot Poker Tour action. He also plays at another Red Hot Poker Tour venue on Merivale Road.

He says that he likes participating in the Red Hot Poker Tour locally.

It is free and gives him the opportunity to enjoy a meal and perhaps drink at a local pub and to meet other people. In addition, there is always the chance to go to tournaments in Toronto or Montreal and even Las Vegas, as has happened to him.

‘Horse Lovers Weekend’ at Westar Farms Special to the News

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

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

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

Westar Farms, owned and operated by Jeff and Bridget McKessock, is a full ser-

vice equestrian training and boarding facility serving the area.

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

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

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

In 1995, a second horse show was added to the Westar Farms schedule and in 2002, a third show was added. The show grounds

themselves at Westar Farms have developed over the years as well.

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

In 2009, the main jumper ring at Westar Farms was expanded and new permanent competition and training obstacles were added. In recent years, “feature” classes not offered at other shows as well as extra prize money have attracted competitors to Westar Farms and its shows. The first year that the $1,000 jumper derby was offered, more than 50 competitors entered that class alone.

‘Refuse2Lose Team Bryce’ Memorial Golf Tournament John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Bryce Jude was a seven year old who was a huge Ottawa Senators fan and also had a love for golf.

Both of these sports – hockey and golf – are now playing a part in the fundraising which the Refuse2Lose Team Bryce is now undertaking on an annual basis in Bryce’s memory. Bruce, a student at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School, died last Sept. after a three year battle with cancer.

The fundraising, with a goal of $50,000 a year, will go to ensure that the Candlelighters Suite Seats program at the Canadian Tire Centre will be able to continue. This is a program that allows youngsters who have been diagnosed with cancer and their families to attend a special suite at Canadian Tire Centre where they can view Ottawa Senators games or a concert or other event happening at the venue throughout the year. It is a program that Bryce participated in, allowing the Jude family to see its value as it allows these young cancer patients to have a place to go to have fun. When a cancer diagnosis happens for a youngster, it means that most normal activities stop as contact with others threatens their health with their reduced immune systems. That’s why having a suite at Canadian Tire Centre that is solely dedicated to young cancer patients and their families who are all facing the same challenges is such a benefit.

Bryce was an avid Senators fan, always wearing his red Sens jersey and carrying a mini hockey stick in his hand. Indeed, one of his last enjoyable outings involved playing mini stick hockey with former Senator Nick Foligno.

Bryce also had a love, ability and passion for golf. He knew all the rules and even at his young age could drive the ball better than his mom Dev. He attended golf camp at the Canadian Golf and Country Club near the Jude home.

So, it seems only appropriate that one of the ways that Refuse2Lose Team Bryce is raising its $50,000 annual fundraising goal this year is to hold the first annual “Refuse2Lose Team Bryce” Memorial Golf Tournament at the Ca-

SUBMITTED

Bryce Jude, who passed away last September after a three year battle against cancer, was a huge golf fan, along with being a passionate Ottawa Senators fan. His memory and spirit are being kept alive through the Refuse2Lose Team Bryce fundraising for Candlelighters with the first annual ‘Refuse2Lose Team Bryce’ Memorial Golf Tournament coming up on Tuesday, Aug. 13. nadian Golf and Country Club. Already, in other fundraising this year, Refuse2Lose Team Bryce has raised $30,000, so it is hoped that the golf tournament will be able to generate the additional funds to reach the $50,000 goal for this year.

This “Refuse2Lose Team Bryce” Memorial Golf Tournament is being held on Tuesday, Aug. 13 at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville. It is the inaugural tournament of what will hopefully be a highlight event in the local golfing scene for years to come.

The tournament will have an 11 a.m. sign-in with BBQ lunch, followed by a 1 p.m. shotgun start. The $170 per golf entry fee will include 18 holes of golf in a best ball format with a GPS golf cart, golf shirt giveaway, chicken and

rib buffet dinner, live and silent auctions, raffles and golfing competitions. CTV Morning host Kurt Stoodley will be the MC for the dinner.

It is also possible to attend just the dinner for a $50 contribution.

The deadline for golfers to register is Wednesday, July 31. Both golfers and tournament sponsors are still needed. Email info@ refuse2lose with any questions or visit http:// canadiangolfclub.com/communityinvolvement to register for the tournament. Questions can also be directed to 613-240-0508.

Refuse2Lose was originally formed by a group of friends and family to provide financial and emotional support to Bryce and the entire Jude family of five during Bryce’s battle with cancer. Now, the family wants to try to pay

forward the generosity that they received in their time of need with Bryce’s illness as well as honour Bryce at the same time. That’s why Refuse2Lose has committed to raise $50,000 annually to ensure that the Candlelighters Suite Seats program continues to be there for young cancer patients and their families.

Bruce Jude was diagnosed in Oct. 2009 at age four with a rare form of leukemia. He embarked on a three year that sadly ended with his death on Sept. 7, 2012 right after his seventh birthday as a result of a neurological side effect from all the heavy treatments that he had received.

After intensive treatment, Bryce was in remission and cancer free and in May 2011 he was able to return to school at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. He signed up for ball and soccer that ensuing summer and had a great time. But that Sept. of 2011, his headaches returned as he relapsed. He underwent new intensive treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and then in early Jan. 2012, he was airlifted to Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital for a bone marrow transplant. His recuperation meant that the whole Jude family had to relocate from their Stittsville area home to the Ronald McDonald House in Toronto until that June when they finally all returned home.

But in less than two weeks, Bruce’s headaches returned and the cancer was back. He was able, though, during this time to realize a dream of playing mini sticks hockey at Canadian Tire Centre with former Senator Nick Folgino who had become good friends with Bryce during his time with the Senators.

Unfortunately Bruce’s health quickly deteriorated and he died on Sept. 7, 2012, only 17 days after his seventh birthday.

Now the Jude family and Bryce’s supporters, through Refuse2Lose Team Bryce, are dedicated to pay back the community support and help which was received during Bryce’s three year battle by raising funds for the Candlelighters Suite Seats program at Canadian Tire Centre and help make a difference in the lives of other kids with cancer.

The upcoming first annual Refuse2Lose Team Bryce Memorial Golf Tournament is one part of this.

Sports - Local eyes will be on Richmond’s Dylan Wright in this Sunday’s Monster Energy Motocross Nationals race at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park in Goulbourn.

He will be one of the youngest competitors in the event which is the sixth race in a nation-wide series featuring Canada’s best motocross riders. But although he is only 15 years old, Dylan is no stranger to motocross. He has been riding since he was four years old and last year won the Schoolboy National Championship. So, you know that he is good and has a chance at a high placing in this Sunday’s event.

He admits that having the event take place at Sand Del Lee which is his home track where he has been riding for years and where he now works as a summer camp instructor is a “little bit of an advantage” in terms of his confidence. But he notes that the track is prepared differently for such a national-level event with whole new sections being built. However, he knows the existing soil conditions which prevail at the track and this is a bit of an advantage.

Dylan raced in the event when it was held at Sand Del Lee last year in order to get experience and he still sees this year as being a learning experience for him as well since he is still an intermediate category rider.

He hopes to go out in the race and have fun and see where he finishes.

He would like to finish in the top ten.

Dylan says that in motocross, a track is always changing from lap to lap, meaning a rider has to concentrate constantly to zip around the track as fast as possible. There are always new ruts and bumps that crop up. Indeed, it is this constantly changing nature of a track that distinguishes motorcross from other sports like hockey or other sports where the field of play stays virtually the same throughout the game.

Dylan’s approach is that doing well at the corners is a key to a good placing in a race.

He points out that there are always more corners than jumps on a track, so taking the right line into a corner is essential to doing well.

But that does not mean that Dylan does not focus on the jumps as well.

He has a unique technique for jumps where he turns his bike in the air so that he does not go so high and gets back to earth quicker where he can go faster than in the air.

“I move a lot on a bike,” Dylan says, describing himself as a “really active rider.” While always in control, he does shift his body on the bike which some might think is being wild but he prefers to think of it as “dynamic.”

Physical conditioning and fitness is important in motocross as a rider must be able to maintain strength throughout the duration of the race.

If a rider tires in the final ten minutes, there won’t be any high placings.

Dylan has had a personal trainer since he was nine years old, working out at the Bells Sensplex. He also has some fitness equipment at home and he does a lot of bicycling in the summertime for fitness.

His whole goal is to get stronger so that he can throw around and control his motocross bike more when he is riding it on the track. This means building up his muscle mass and improving his stamina.

Another key is to have a good bike and this year, just like he has been doing since he was 11 years old, he is riding a Yamaha bike.

His competition number is “539” which Dylan chose as a tribute to his grandfather who was born in May, 1939.

Winning a motocross championship has been a dream for Dylan since he began with motocross at the age of four. He hopes to be able to achieve this in the next couple of years.

He admits, though, there is always someone who is faster than any particular racer and that is why a racer like himself has to keep working hard and be always trying to get faster.

Dylan, who is fluently bilingual, attends Ecole Franco Ouest at Bells Corners where he maintains an over 90 average.

He readily admits that he would rather be riding his motocross bike than doing schoolwork but acknowledges the importance of education for the future, particularly after his hoped-for motocross racing career is over.

The Best In Retirement Living!

Top-level motocross racing at Sand Del Lee Sports - Motocross racing at its highest level will be on display at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park in Goulbourn this Sunday, July 21.

That’s because a Monster Energy Motocross National Series race will be held at the track which is located on Conley Road between Franktown Road and Fallowfield Road west of Richmond.

Fans are welcome to attend this race which will include most of the top motocross riders in Canada as they compete in this Monster Energy Motocross National Race Series. This will be the sixth race in the series.

The track has been closed a couple

of days this week as it is prepared for this high level national race.

Besides being a venue for national-level motocross racing, the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park is the site of weekly summer camps held by MX101, operators of Sand Del Lee. At these summer camps, youngsters receive instruction about motocross racing. Most of these instructors attended these summer camps when they were younger.

All of the racing gear and bikes are available by rental for these summer campers, so these camps are a great opportunity for youngsters who think that they might enjoy motocross to try out the sport.

Raising $790 with lemonade, cookies latrine have in common with lemonade and cookies?

Quite simply, the annual summertime fundraising initiative by the youngsters associated with Nicole Treffers’ home child care in Richmond.

For eight years now, these youngsters including Nicole’s

two children Lauren and Holly as well as children attending the child care have held a driveway lemonade/cookie sale to raise funds for a charitable cause, one that has changed every year based on the wishes of the children. Some years it has involved helping people.

Other years it has focused on helping animals. Last year, for instance, the money raised, some $450, went to the Wild Bird Care Centre. In the past, proceeds from this lemonade/ cookie fundraising initiative have gone to help a variety of causes such as helping polar

bears, helping a community in Africa and helping the Shepherds of Good Hope mission in downtown Ottawa.

This year the youngsters decided to support Plan Canada, a not-for-profit international development agency working to improve the lives of chil-

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

dren in developing countries.

It does this by encouraging donations that go to purchase specific items that can change the cycle of poverty in which a family in a developing country may find itself. So, for instance, a $75 donation earmarked for a goat goes to Plan Canada’s goat program which provides goats and supplies training in raising and breeding them to families in northern Uganda.

The youngsters involved in last Friday’s lemonade/cookie fundraiser in Richmond each got to choose an individual Plan Canada item. A board was set up beside the lemonade/cookie sale table which showed the items selected by each child. Individual cost of these items varied from $17 to $150 but the total cost covering the wishes of all seven children was $507. This goal was reached by 4 p.m. with still some time remaining in the fundraiser.

Indeed, the lemonade/cookie stand this year has ended up raising $790, the largest amount raised ever by this lemonade/cookie fundraiser, meaning that even more Plan Canada items could and will be selected.

At the lemonade/cookie stand raising funds for Plan Canada in Richmond last Friday are, from left, Brittany Martin, Lauren Treffers, Holly Treffers, Meagan Martin, Lauren MacDonald, Leo Adamantidis, Shayne MacDonald and Peter Adamantidis.

Plan Canada works in 69 countries around the world including 50 developing countries in Africa, Asia and the Americas. In 2012, the work of Plan Canada impacted the lives of over 174 million people including 83.9 million children in over 90,000 communities around the world.

News - Sunny weather prevailed for the third annual Jay Bilodeau Memorial Golf Tournament last Saturday, July 13.

It was held at the Manderley on the Green golf course near North Gower, with a shotgun start at noon. About 110 golfers participated in the tournament, with some sporting red tshirts.

On display at the tournament was a handmade bench bearing a plaque in memory of Jay. It is hoped that this bench can be placed near the new memorial bell and gazebo at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond.

It has been three years since Jay Bilodeau, son of Janet and Rheal Bilodeau of Richmond, died as a result of drug addiction. He was just 22 years old when he died in March 2011.

This brought about the formation of an orga-

nizing committee which include Jay’s younger sister Renee which has organized a memorial golf tournament each year since Jay’s death.

The tournament is held in the second week of July since this is close to Jay’s birthday which was July 14.

Funds raised by these tournaments are being directed to the Dave Smith Youth Drug Treatment Centre which works to help youth aged 13 to 21 to overcome substance abuse and related challenges. The hope is that the funds raised will help the Dave Smith Centre to help other youth and their families who are facing challenges like those that Jay faced. Increasing public awareness of youth mental health and drug abuse are positive steps that are indicative of the improvements that are happening in society today to improve and increase the help available in such circumstances.

Pipeline meeting to be held Special to the News

News - Look for a public meeting coming up about Trans Canada Pipeline’s proposal to convert the existing gas pipeline which runs through Goulbourn for the transportation of oil from the West to the East Coast.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri said at the Stittsville Village Association executive meeting on Thursday, July 11 that there will be a public meeting about the proposal coming up sometime in

the near future. He said that it will be held in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville.

The pipeline, which has been carrying natural gas since its construction in the mid-1980’s, runs in a north/south direction west of Stittsville, near the intersection of Hazeldean Road and highway seven. It then runs south through rural Goulbourn, passing west of Richmond before crossing the Jock River at the Richmond Centennial golf course.

Splash pads Special to the News

News - The two splash pads in Stittsville are both involved in a free informal weekly drop-in program that the city of Ottawa conducts at such water parks across the municipality.

In this program, children aged 4 to 10 are invited to join the city’s trained recreation staff for funfilled programming of sports, crafts and games at these water parks.

Parents are reminded, though, that they must be there to supervise their children while at these wa-

ter parks.

There are weekly themes for these activities.

The week of July 22-26 has “A Bug’s Life” as the theme. The week of July 29-Aug. 2 has “Balloons and Friends” as the theme.

These weekly sessions will happen throughout July and August this summer.

At the splash pad at Upcountry Park on Upcountry Drive south of Fernbank Road and east of Stittsville Main Street, this informal drop-in program will happen on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

At the splash pad at Bandmaster Park at Mistral Way in the Fairwinds area east of Huntmar Drive, this informal drop-in program is happening on Mondays from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Deep in the heart of the Depression years, almost as if they were put there to remind us there was someone in worse shape than we were, tramps walked the back roads, rode the freight trains and survived by begging for their next meal. Countless numbers found their way to our kitchen door, always around dinner time, looking for something to eat.

They frightened me, although Father said they were harmless, and I was glad that if they did surface at night, we never saw them. My brothers were sure they often came up over the West Hill and slept in the barn where they were warm and away from the outdoor elements.

They seemed to know on the farm the big meal was at the noon hour. They also seemed to know when the family was all seated at the table, because that was when we would hear the gentle knock on the door.

They never had to ask for something to eat: we knew why they were there. Mother would look them over and if they were clean, having taken a wash in the Bonnechere River before coming up the hill, they were invited in. If they looked like they needed a hand-scrub, Mother

Tramps in Depression seemed to know when family was seated at the table

would take out a wash basin of warm soapy water, put it on the back stoop and told them to come in when they had washed up.

The brothers would squeeze together on the bench and make room for the tramp and Mother would laden a plate full of food. I would watch mesmerized as the food vanished as if they hadn’t eaten in days -- there was a good chance they hadn’t.

Father would try to make conversation, but the tramps said little. We five children clammed up as if we had lost our tongues. I wanted to know where they had come from and how they had become tramps, but of course I too sat mute while the food disappeared.

As quickly as they came, they spent just enough time to cram in their heaping plates of food and then they stood and were ready to head out again. Mother would tell them to sit a spell and we always knew what she was going to do because it never varied all the time we lived through those Depression years.

She would take a brown paper bag off the rack at the back door. Then she would go to the bake table and make thick sandwiches of what-

ever meat we had had for dinner. Always she would tuck in cookies or a big piece of pie and then she would go to the ice box and with the ice pick would chip off big slivers of ice and put them into a glass jar that at one time held pickles or preserves, filling it with cold water from the granite pail.

Often I would see the tramp wipe his eyes with the back of his hand, as he thanked Mother and tucked the bulging paper bag into the sack he carried on the end of a short pole resting on his shoulder. He would go as quietly as he came, out the back door and down the hill, making his way to the railroad tracks. I knew he would be waiting until the next freight train rounded the corner at the very back of the farm.

It would slow down to handle the curve in the track. Father said this was where they would jump on the train and go off to goodness knows where.

We never saw the same tramp twice. They came in all shapes and sizes, and all ages.

Some of them, I thought, were no more than boys, young like my three brothers. I would wonder why they were tramps, and my broth-

ers weren’t.

Then one day I learned at least a partial answer to that question. The young tramp that rapped on our kitchen door that day was whip thin and as clean as a whistle. Just as he finished tucking into his second piece of pie, he asked Father for a job. He talked more than any other tramp we had ever fed. He was what was called a “home boy.” He came from England as a 12 year old, he said, from an orphanage. He was sent to a farm in the Ottawa Valley, where he suffered from abuse and endless hours of labour.

Father told him there was no money for a hired man and besides, we had three strapping boys to do the chores. But the tramp persevered. He told Father if he could sleep in the barn and have three meals a day and a flat-fifty of cigarettes every Saturday night, he would work for nothing. That was how one of those tramps who rode the rails and depended on the generosity of others, became our hired man.

He really became a member of the family and I would often see Father slip the man, who was really a boy, a dollar when he could spare it.

Ingredients * 50 ml (1/4 cup) tamari or soy sauce * 25 ml (2 tbsp) liquid honey * 15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil * 4 cloves garlic, crushed * 5 ml (1 tsp) hot chili sauce (such as sriracha) * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) finely grated ginger root * 250 g (8 oz) thinly sliced delicooked beef * 125 g (4 oz) thin vermicelli rice noodles * 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil * 750 ml (3 cups) thinly sliced mushrooms * 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) thinly sliced sweet red pepper * 4 green onions, sliced * 4 large leaves of lettuce * 15 ml (1 tbsp) toasted sesame seeds

Preparation In a bowl, mix together the tamari sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, hot chili sauce and ginger root. Cut the beef slices into one-centimetre (1/2-inch) wide strips and stir them into the marinade. Let the marinating beef stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the vermicelli according to the package directions and drain well. Measure out 1 litre (4 cups) of vermicelli and set aside.

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Cook the mushrooms, red pepper and half of the green onions in the skillet, stirring, for three to five minutes or until mushrooms are golden. Drain the marinade from the beef and add it to the skillet, cooking for one-to-two minutes or just until no liquid remains.

To serve, place a lettuce leaf on each plate and top each with 250 ml (1 cup) vermicelli, then one-quarter of the meat mixture. Garnish with the remaining green onions, sesame seeds and coriander, if it is being used.
