Event joins hockey with helping kids John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Media personality Brent Corbeil hit the nail right on the head when talking about last weekend’s “Hockey4Wishes” event.

“It’s a combination of all the things that matter,” the morning voice of BOOM 99.7 FM radio said last Saturday as he prepared to take the ice for another game in the 24 hour hockey marathon at the Bell Sensplex.

The Ottawa area radio personality noted that this “Hockey4Wishes” event combines playing hockey with a great cause, namely helping kids through Make-A-Wish which grants wishes to youngsters facing life-threatening medical conditions.

Traffic jam A sea of motocross riders and bikes swarms into the first turn after leaving the starting gate in a MX2 moto at the Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals race which was held at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park west of Richmond last Sunday. The Motocross Nationals ten-race series was making its sixth stop on its cross-Canada schedule at the Sand Del Lee facility.

hosted its first motocross race.

And though no one is walking on the moon any more, motocross racing is still happening at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park. And, in fact, on last Sunday, July 20, which was the exact day on which Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon 45 years

ago in 1969, motocross racers from across North America were zipping around the track at Sand Del Lee as the track hosted the sixth race in the ten-race Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals series, Canada’s top motocross racing event.

Motocross Nationals race at Sand Del Lee Continued from page 1

Sanctioned by the Canadian Motocross Racing Corporation, this Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals series is the sport’s Canadian Pro Motocross Championship.

Last Sunday saw cloudy with sunny breaks weather prevail over

the Sand Del Lee track, as motocross fans lined the numerous fence-line viewing spots and filled the bleachers set up around the track with its curves, hills and straightways.

From the moment a fan parks in Sand Del Lee’s grassy expansive parking area, the sound of motocross bikes can be heard across the site,

whether from a practice session or from a time qualifier race or, in the afternoon, from one of the four motos – two MX1 races and two MX2 races.

But the racing atmosphere really hits home when you stroll down the pit area where all of the racing teams have their tented pit areas set up, at-

tached to their 18-wheeler trucks. So, you have Blockleitner Racing, Honda Racing, Kawasaki Team Green, KTM Racing, JT Racing, and Yamaha Racing, among others. Fans can look in under the canvas roofs and see mechanics making final touches to these racing bikes.

And while there is this pit area as well as other off-track attractions like food vendors, motocross clothing, accessories and even bike vendors and jiu-jitsu demonstrations and interviews on the podium stage, it is the action on the track that is the real attraction. Racers from Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta and elsewhere in Canada as well as many United States locations like Florida, California, Iowa, Tennessee, New York, Connecticut and Oregon try to adapt to the Sand Del Lee track, adjusting the suspension of their bikes and making decisions about which tires to use. That’s because each track in this Rockstar Energy Drink Nationals racing series is different. Sand Del Lee is, as its name implies, is a sandy track that becomes choppier as the racing proceeds, but it also has clay underneath the loamy sand surface. The Sand Del Lee track also has a few unique timing sections like an area called “Hell’s Kitchen,” as well as a set of tricky jumps and some tight switch-backs that can give riders passing options in the late stages of the motos or races.

But it is also somewhat of a parklike setting, with the track set against a treed background. Add to this the colour of numerous tents and signage everywhere, if not the yellow and black Rockstar Energy Drink signage, then signage for Yamaha or other motocross equipment suppliers, and you have a setting that shouts out that something special is happening here.

Motocross is considered an endurance sport of sorts because riders have to maneuver and handle a 240 pound motorcycle for up to 30 minutes or more while racing on a dirt course against 40 other riders. In addition, these riders have to race twice each race day in races called moto 1 and moto 2.

This Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals racing series is split into two classes: MX 1 and MX2. The MX1 class competes on the more powerful 450cc bikes and these riders are considered the best in Canada. MX1 class motos are 30 minutes plus two laps in duration.

The MX2 class competes on 250F bikes as the riders are generally younger and less experienced than MX1 riders. This year’s rookie sensation Dylan Wright of Richmond competed in the MX2 class at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park race last Sunday.

The MX2 motos are 25 minutes plus two laps in duration.

The four main brands of motocross racing bikes are Kawasaki, Yamaha, KTM and Suzuki. Generally, Kawasaki bikes are green while Yamaha bikes are blue, KTM bikes are orange and Suzuki bikes are yellow.

Riders in a moto wearing numbers 1 through 10 means that these riders finished in the top ten in the MX1 class the previous season. The numbers 11 through 99 are determined by combining all MX2 points from the previous season with MX1 points outside the top ten. Numbers 100 and higher are those that are requested by the rider and usually are worn by riders that are new to this level of racing.

The start of each moto or race sees the races line up across the starting gate. Riders get to pick their spot in the starting gate by the order in which the rider qualified in the morning’s timed qualifying session. The rider with the fastest lap time from the timed qualifying session gets first pick of location on the starting gate.

For the second moto of the day, the gate pick is determined by how the rider has finished in the first moto.

These races in the Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals racing series are taped for later broadcast nationally. Last Sunday’s race at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park near Richmond will see its MX2 motos broadcast on Saturday, Aug. 9 while its MX1 motos will be broadcast on Sunday, Aug. 10.

Sand Del lee Motocross Park on Conley Road north of Franktown Road west of Richmond is operated

by MX101 which not only hosts major race events at the track but also offers a full rider education program.

Sand Del Lee may be the oldest motocross track in Canada with its motocross racing history dating back to 1970, meaning the track will mark its 45th anniversary in 2015.

Dale Argue of Stittsville, who passed away in 2010, founded the Sand Del Lee track. MX101 took over operation of the track in 2001.

Dylan Wright of Richmond is a rider with the MX101/Yamaha motocross factory racing team.

Toronto Indy feel to Motocross Nationals race john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - It has a Toronto Indy Car feel to it and that’s just fine with the organizers of last Sunday’s Ottawa leg of the ten-race Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park near Richmond.

In fact, this is just the atmosphere that Sand Del Lee Motocross Park owners and operators Johnny Grant and Kevin Tyler have been trying to create as they have developed the event over the past nine years that it has happened at Sand Del Lee. “You have that Toronto Indy feel for this event,” says Johnny Grant, noting that this helps make it a fantastic experience both for the fans and for the riders involved.

“We consider this as close as we can come to run an Indy event in Ottawa,” Mr. Grant says, while acknowledging that this is a motocross race, not an Indy Car race.

But both have the same ingredients – a pit area, clothing and accessories vendors, multiple viewing areas to watch the action on the track, announcers describing this action in real time,

and television coverage. And for this Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals race which happened last Sunday, Sand Del Lee has one special ingredient – the track itself, making the race one of the favourites in the cross-Canada series, at least in the view of Kevin Tyler, himself a former motocross pro racer who has raced on tracks across North America.

His partner Johnny Grant notes that the Sand Del Lee layout is an impressive track, with its sand and clay surface, unlike some of the other tracks with their gravel base, with rocks getting thrown up by the bikes. It’s a case of drivers getting hit with sand rather than a rock – who wouldn’t like it!

And in Mr. Grant’s view, that’s why Sand Del Lee wants to host this national motocross race event. “The track deserves it,” he says.

But all of this just doesn’t happen overnight.

Indeed, Johnny Grant and Kevin Tyler and their team at Sand Del Lee basically start planning and organizing next year’s race as soon as this year’s has ended. After all, it is the biggest motocross event between London and the other side of Montreal and perhaps the best such event in Canada.

Even though Sand Del Lee has now hosted this Motocross Nationals race for nine years, there are still things to learn from each year’s event. So, that’s what happens first – there’s an examination of what can be learned from the just completed event and what changes should be made for the following year to make it an

even better experience for fans and riders. This might mean changes to the flow of spectators or it might mean changes in the track. If it means building a roadway or moving earth, this has to be done before October when wet weather moves in and makes such work more difficult.

Planning for next Motocross Nationals race begins when one ends Continued from page 3

In November each year, Johnny Grant and Kevin Tyler meet with the national organizers, major sponsors like Rockstar Energy Drink and other track owners and get all of the legal contracts out of the way.

January offers a bit of a break as they head to California with two fans who have won a fan experience trip there but in February, they are right back at it, setting up the program at Sand Del Lee for

the coming season including the Motocross Nationals race.

And then it’s not long before spring hits and the track opens up for the season, hopefully

by April 15 each year.

And then there’s handling the media buys and publicity for the event and establishing a presence on social media that happened in the weeks leading up to the event last Sunday.

One of the changes implemented this year was to create more of a festival atmosphere to the event. This happened

after it was realized last year that there were so many children attending the event. So, this year you had face painting and a balloon artist introduced to the attractions on race day.

Plans were made to have ice cream on site as well as the traditional hot dogs and hamburgers. Ribs were another new food treat to be offered.

While Sand Del Lee hosts five race weekends over the course of the season, this Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals is by far the biggest, by a long shot.

On typical race weekends at Sand Del Lee, there might be 20 staff on hand. For last Sunday’s Motocross Nationals, there were about 50 staff on site. That’s a huge increase!

Sand Del Lee always tries to work with a charity for major events like this Motocross Nationals and on site this year

als race, Johnny and Kevin are constantly working on the preparations for the event.

But when it’s all said and done, Johnny and Tyler are happy to be hosting this major Canadian motocross race. As Johnny Grant says, it gives the Ottawa area an opportunity to show off the Sand Del Lee facility which he believes is the best in Canada.

In addition, there is economic spinoff with all of the major motocross bike teams with their big 18 wheeler rigs coming to the area for the event. Johnny sees an economic spinoff for the Richmond area as well as the Ottawa area in general.

Johnny points out that Sand Del Lee could not host such a major race event without the great crew and team which works at Sand Del Lee. He says that it takes a huge team

were the Big Brothers and Big Sisters as well as the Canadian One Match Bone Marrow Registry. There was a silent auction to raise funds for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Ottawa.

Just getting the 60 acre site ready and looking nice for the onslaught of fans at the Motocross Nationals is a task in itself. There’s lot of grass to cut and trim as Johnny and Kevin want the place to look perfect. Sand Del Lee, which usually has its track open for use by riders, closes down the track in the week leading up to the Motocross Nationals race to allow for grounds maintenance, the placement of signage around the property and building and grooming the track.

Indeed, in the two to three weeks leading up to last Sunday’s Motocross Nation-

to put on such an event and he feels that the Sand Del Lee team is the best in the business.

Last Sunday the gates at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park opened at 7 a.m. and then it was a full day of motocross activity.

The morning saw both MX1 and MX2 pro practice sessions on the track, followed

by MX1 and MX2 pro timed qualifying sessions.

It was at noon that the real racing began, with the two MX1 motos (races) and Mx2 motos taking place.

The MX1 class competes on 450cc bikes while the MX2 class competes on smaller 250F bikes. MX1 class motos are 30 minutes plus two laps in duration.

The MX2 class motos are 25 minutes plus two laps in duration.

Guitar/saxophone combo at Gaia Java john.curry@metroland.com

News - Put together the sounds of a musical instrument that traces its history back to chordophones that were used in Europe in the 12th century with those of an instrument developed in 1841 by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian instrument maker and what do you have?

Melodic musical sounds if last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville is any indication because the shop was filled with the complementary sounds of a guitar and a saxophone as the Rob Wannell Duo performed, with Rob Wannell on guitar and Pat Smith on saxophone.

Both Rob and Pat have performed at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on previous occasions, so their musical talents are not unknown to Friday music evening regulars.

And the two played off each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at times Pat Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saxophone would predominate with Rob Wannellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitar providing background instrumentation while at other times Robâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guitar would be the leading sound.

Among the songs performed by the duo was one from the Gerry Mulligan playbook.

Gerry Mulligan, who died in 1996, was an American jazz saxophonist who is best known as one of the leading baritone saxophonists in jazz

history, playing the instrument with a light and airy tone. His reputation was certainly verified by the fact that he won the Down Beat magazine readerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poll for outstanding baritone saxophonist for 42 consecutive years from 1953 to 1995. Yes, he was that good and people realized it!

Guitarist Rob Wannell is inventive in his guitar playing, both when he is accompanying another or when he takes the lead in a song.

Pat Smith on saxophone is another exceptionally talented young musician.

When you put them both together, they produce sounds that make for easy, enjoyable listening.

The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Cen-

tre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street holds a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. at which various musicians perform.

Col. Burke descendant visits Goulbourn john.curry@metroland.com

News - A direct descendant of Colonel George Thew Burke, a War of 1812 hero who became the superintendent of the new Richmond military settlement in 1818, was in Goulbourn last week.

Mrs. Barbara McCourt of London, ON visited Goulbourn to donate Col. Burke’s ceremonial militia sword bearing the crest

of King George 1V to the Goulbourn Museum.

She is a great-greatgreat granddaughter of Col. Burke, related through his second son.

The sword had been handed down through other members of the family but she recently obtained it on the death of an aunt.

She talked to a cousin about donating it to the Goulbourn Museum and the cousin agreed, so this is what she has done.

Mrs. McCourt herself has done a lot of research work about her famous ancestor. She also provided information about Lydia Burke, the wife of Col. Burke, for the Museum’s recent Extraordinary Women of the War of 1812 exhibit.

She was at the Museum last Wednesday to turn over the sword to the Goulbourn Museum. She was given a tour of the Museum and later in the day she visited

Col. Burke’s gravesite in the Roman Catholic cemetery in Richmond.

She was accompanied on her trip to this area by her husband Gerry. They have been married for 59 years.

A recent War of 1812 medal presented to Col. Burke in 1848 which was recently donated to the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners was donated by another branch of the Burke family.

Col. Burke influential in early settlement John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The person who made the greatest contribution to the settlement of this area and who could be considered the most prominent and influential public servant in this area in the first half of the 19th century is Colonel George Thew Burke.

While his contributions to the settlement of Richmond and the surrounding areas was immense through his role as superintendent of the military settlement of Richmond from 1818 to 1822, his ongoing role as the first land registrar for Carleton County gave him a continuing influence that lasted until his death in 1854.

As the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement, he was responsible for the allocation of land grants to the earliest settlers in Goulbourn, Beckwith, Huntley and Fitzroy townships, along with some allocations in both Nepean and Rideau townships.

It was under his leadership that the village of Richmond was surveyed and laid out prior to the initial arrival of settlers in 1818.

As well as being the superintendent of the military settlement for four years, until it was removed from military control, Colonel Burke also filled the roles of magistrate and postmaster. As the acknowledged leader of the community, he commanded the local militia in Richmond. He also served as a school trustee for the early school which was established in Richmond.

Colonel Burke was the first member of the provincial Legislature for Carleton County, serving two terms in a period from 1821 to 1828. It was during this time that the final plans and authorizations for the soon-to-bebuilt Rideau Canal were instigated.

Colonel Burke, who was born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1776, had a distinguished military career prior to his appointment as the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818.

He entered the British army in 1798, joining the Irish Fencibles. He went on to serve in Egypt and then was used as a recruiter in his native Ireland, an indication of his leadership skills even as a young officer.

In this recruiting role, he was instrumental in raising the 100th Regiment of Foot which later became the 99th Regiment when the army’s size was reduced. It was this regiment which provided many of the early settlers in the Richmond/Goulbourn area.

The young then-Captain Burke went on to serve in Spain and on the Duke of Wellington’s staff at Waterloo. In the War of 1812 which was fought between the British and the United States in North America, he fought at Queenston Heights under General Isaac Brock and took part in the hard fought battles of Sackett’s Harbour and Chateauguay. At the battle of Sackett’s Harbour in May, 1813, the war documents outline the following action by Captain Burke: “The advance was led by the Grenadiers of the 100th Regiment (under the command of Captain Burke) with undaunted gallantry, which no obstacle could arrest. … Captain Burke availed himself of the ample field afforded him in leading the advance to display the intrepidity of British Grenadiers…”

At the Battle of Chateauguay, then-Brevet Major Burke not only conveyed messages between the front and the military headquarters in the rear but also carried out some reconnoitering of the enemy lines.

Following the War of 1812, Colonel Burke was appointed to the posts of Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General and also Brigade Major at Quebec where the 100th Regiment was posted following the war.

He did retire on half pay but then was selected by Sir John Sherbrooke, who was Governor and Commandin-Chief in Canada at the time, to become the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement.

Indeed, an obituary written in the Ottawa Citizen in February, 1854 at

the time of his death describes Colonel Burke and his military service as follows: “Colonel Burke was always characterized by his mild and unassuming manners, and during his military career was beloved by his brother officers for his distinguished bravery and coolness on the field of battle.”

As the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement, Colonel Burke was a constant companion of the Duke of Richmond during his visit to the settlement in August, 1819. He had met him in Perth and accompanied him to Richmond, with reports suggesting that he never left the Duke’s side during the visit, perhaps partly because the Duke was also exhibiting signs of the disease which would eventually take his life as he lay in a barn along the Jock River at Twin Elm, just outside of Richmond.

Colonel Burke was 78 years old at the time of his death in 1854. His wife, the former Lydia Anne Grant, had predeceased him in 1825. Both are buried in the St. Philip’s cemetery in Richmond.

Last week, I had the pleasure of joining several of my colleagues in announcing that Ottawa will be hosting Athletics Canada’s Senior & Junior Canadian Track and Field Championships in both 2017 and 2018, at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility at Mooney’s Bay. This event is one of the many that we have targeted for 2017, Canada’s 150th Birthday.

The City of Ottawa, along with its partners, is also looking to secure the 2017 Grey Cup, an outdoor NHL game at Lansdowne and the Women’s Canadian Open.

The National Track and Field Championships will generate approximately $3 million in economic benefits in each of the two years as the region plays host to countless athletes, coaches, families, volunteers and spectators. Athletics Canada’s Canadian Track and Field Championships is a four-day competition for the nation’s best Olympic and Paralympic athletes. The event serves as the selection trials for national teams, such as the World Championships, Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, and Pan/Parapan American Games.

Barbara McCourt of London is a great-great-great granddaughter of Colonel George Thew Burke.

Weekly Rural Shopper’s Bus While I have mentioned this service before, this is just a friendly reminder that rural residents have a convenient way to get into town for shopping, appointments and more by using the Shoppers’ Bus routes 201-205 as they provide once-a-week service from rural communities to urban shopping destinations.

Fares are free on routes 201 to 205 until further notice. Buses are fully accessible - no stairs for easy boarding and space for two wheelchairs.

They each serve a different rural community, operating one trip a week.

These routes arrive at urban shopping centres around 10:00am and leave at 2:30pm. These routes do not operate on holidays. For more information visit octranspo.com.

While two of the routes are well outside our area, three are either in or near Rideau-Goulbourn. They are the 201 on Mondays, which runs from Richmond & Stittsville to Kanata Centrum, Bayshore, Lincoln Fields and Carlingwood; the 204 on Thursdays, from Metcalfe & Greely to South Keys and Billings Bridge; and the 205 on Fridays, running from Kars, North Gower & Manotick to Barrhaven Centre and Carlingwood.

Col. George Thew Burke was the superintendent of the Richmond settlement from 1818 to 1822.

As part of the modernization of the City’s child care services, the City will be switching to new software, which will replace the existing waitlist.

The software is already being used successfully in 10 other Ontario municipalities.

Child care providers are also able to view and manage their waitlist and contact parents directly when a spot becomes available, as the system automatically enters each application into a priority sequence.

The “Bid More, Win More, Host More” strategy – a priority of the Economic Development and Innovation Department – was developed to attract national and world-class events. These events create growth and prosperity in the local economy. Over the last few years, the combination of bids won and events hosted resulted in more than $40 million for Ottawa’s economy. Some recent and future examples include the 2012 NHL All-Star Game, the 2013 IIHF Women’s World Championships and the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

OPINION EDITORIAL

Turning away from democracy

T

wo separate situations, occurring within days of one another, point to a dangerous trend away from democratic principles.

The first has to do with the never-ending Carp dump saga. The corporation wants it. The people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The corporation wins.

Despite some 20 public meetings, dozens of residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; submissions, the rise of opposition citizen groups, 18 council-backed recommendations from the city, and a hand delivered list from Mayor Jim Watson to the environment minister, the provincial government approved Waste Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal.

Recently, as a last slap in the face to the democratic will of the people, city council voted in favour of the dump expansion. Council knew the city didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need another dump; Waste Management thought otherwise. But the city would have lost at the Ontario Municipal Board.

Forget that council felt its hands were tied. Forget that a mockery was made of the democratic process.

The corporation got what it wanted.

The second case involved a cell tower. Rogers wanted it built next to 120 homes in Crown Point, far into Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural west end. Like the dump, property values would likely drop. But unlike the dump, the corporation listened to the protesters to the extent that it agreed to move the tower down the road.

However, it is important to note that Rogers could have ignored the will of the people and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestions, and instead appeal to Industry Canada. It could have gotten that cell tower built wherever it could find a landlord. It is only business interests that caused it to relent.

A homeowner whose house would have been 40 feet away from the cell tower called the situation draconian. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How can Industry Canada just ignore what would happen to our property values?â&#x20AC;? said Vince Thompson. Good question.

What to call this shift away from democracy and protection of citizens? When profit trumps all, another step is taken toward â&#x20AC;&#x153;corporatocracy.â&#x20AC;?

What else can we implode around here?

A

round here, the most watched computer video lately is the implosion of the Sir John Carling Building. The taking down of the building was spectacular, apparently flawless and way more fun to watch on the Internet than kittens.

For reasons that are difficult to explain, the event drew hundreds of spectators at 7 a.m. on a Sunday morning and thousands more watched it on television and various online news sites. Perhaps the explanation for the videoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity is as simple as this: you get to watch a big explosion and nobody gets hurt.

An intriguing aspect of one of the videos was a brief interview after the implosion with an official from the U.S. company that handled the demolition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to come back,â&#x20AC;?

Hmmm. Are more implosions are ahead for Ottawa? Although there were few serious objections to taking down the Sir John Carling Building, which nobody seemed to want, it is worth noting that the building wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all that old. It was built in 1967. A lot of us were built well before that and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still standing.

This means that candidates for the next implosion donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to be decrepit and at risk of fallVice President & Regional Publisher Mike Mount mmount@metroland.com 613-283-3182, ext. 104

ing down. The next one could appear perfectly fine to you, just as Sir John Carling did to the naked eye.

According to newspaper reports, it was discovered as early as 1994 that the building was showing signs of neglect and might not be worth saving. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 27 years after it was built.

Even the 47 years that have elapsed between construction and destruction donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem that long. Certainly many of the houses we live in are older than that and are doing just fine.

So what do we learn from this?

Is it that we need to look after our buildings better? Or is it that there is a rather brief planned obsolescence built into our newer structures?

Could be either.

having the Agriculture Department all in one place on Carling Avenue. If the government was committed to the concept, it would have looked after the building better. Governments, like people, can be fickle.

Meanwhile, keep your eyes peeled out at the airport for Americans in hardhats. What will they implode next? You probably have candidates of your own, such as most of Queen Street and many big box stores.

Remember that the offending building need not be all that old. And it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be ugly. The Sir John Carling building, designed by the distinguished architect Hart Massey, certainly had its admirers.

Yes, I can see you there with your hand raised. The Senate, you say.

Volunteer firefighters must rush to the fire hall when an emergency call comes in so that they can gather up their firefighting gear there and clamber aboard a fire vehicle which rushes to the scene of the emergency, generally a fire but not always. The firefighters drive from their homes to the fire hall and to assist them in doing this, they have a green

flashing light on the dash of their vehicles.

These green flashing lights are activated when the volunteer firefighters are rushing to the fire hall. So, if you see a vehicle with a green flashing light on its dash, realize that it is a volunteer firefighter rush to the fire hall. If this happens, move over, just like you would for a police or fire vehicle siren and flashing lights. The quicker that a volunteer firefighter can reach the fire hall, the better it will be for everyone. So remember – green flashing light on a dash means pull over and let the vehicle rush by. These green flashing lights are not as well known as the traditional fire or police siren and flashing lights but they are just as important as these volunteer firefighters are rushing to the fire hall. So watch for the green flashing lights and pull over – help the volunteer firefighter get to the fire hall as quickly as possible…

July 18th, 2014 Noxious Weed Wild Parsnip spotted It has come to my attention that there have been sightings of a noxious weed, wild parsnip recently.

The Provincial Government as well as the City of Ottawa bans the use of pesticides. However, we can address noxious weeds such as wild parsnip/poison ivy when located along City of Ottawa pathways/parks.

If you see this type of noxious weed on City property please contact my office and note the specific area of location so that we may alert staff to address it as soon as possible.

Should you see any wild parsnip/poison ivy noxious weeds growing on your private property, certainly any expert lawn care company can assist you. As well, a visit to any local garden/hardware store can advise you on how to handle the weeds to ensure safe removal.

I have in the past included the following natural poison ivy remedy that bears repeating.

Natural Poison Ivy Killer: 1 cup of salt, 8 drops of liquid detergent, 16 cups of vinegar. Combine the salt and vinegar in a pan and heat to dissolve the salt. Cool the mixture, add the detergent, and pour some of the liquid into a large spray bottle. Spray the vegetation. You can also just pour the mixture onto the weeds. It’s important to note that this formula will kill all the vegetation, so make sure that you are only spraying the plants you want to kill.

Slow Down for Us Pilot Project This week we started the Slow Down for Us project. This is a temporary signage posting campaign that is a part of the Safer Roads Ottawa Program. It is geared towards drawing attention to and educating motorists, on the local residential streets, to be aware of children at play. It alerts drivers to be more conscious and responsible to obey the speed limits that are put into place. This program receives enforcement support from the Ottawa Police Service accordingly. Safer Roads Ottawa has provided my office with 50 signs to be posted for up to 60 days on the City easement portion of residents’ property.

Currently, the signs are being placed on Brigade, Cherry, and Liard Street. The project will move around to different communities once the 60 days are up, and residents will be informed that the project is coming with a letter asking permission to place signs on their lawns.

The Safer Roads Ottawa Program is a leading partnership between Ottawa Fire Services, Ottawa Paramedic Service, Ottawa Police Service, Ottawa Public Health and the Public Works Department. The Program is committed to preventing or eliminating road deaths and serious injuries for all people in the City of Ottawa, through culture change, community engagement and the development of a sustainable safe transportation environment.

Washing cars for Children’s Wish Foundation John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It was called “Wash for a Wish,” the kind of “win-win” scenario that makes everyone feel good while helping a great cause.

It happened last Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Krown Rust Control location on Cedarow Court just off Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, just like it was happening at the more than 230 Krown locations across Canada.

This inaugural Krown Wash for a Wish Car Wash was held as a fundraiser for the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. For a $10 donation, motorists were able to receive a hand car wash with all of the funds going to the local chapter of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. The Children’s Wish Foundation makes the wishes of local children with lifethreatening illnesses come true.

At the Stittsville location, a team

of five including owner Marc Bertrand and manager Dan Laviolette, wearing either blue or yellow “Make A Wish” t-shirts, would swarm a vehicle lined up for a wash, covering it with white soap suds and then hand washing it with wash mitts before then rinsing it down with a power washer. Others involved in the washing included Justin Hirsch, Kayla DeSousa and Brent Brydges.

But this was not all. Those having their vehicles washed also received a Krown Children’s Wish Wash for a Wish tote bag as well as a coupon worth $50, offering $10 off a Krown application plus a free fast wax and a free tire and wheel cleaner, with all of the proceeds covered by the coupon going to the Children’s Wish Foundation.

The Krown Rust Control Centre on Cedarow Court in Stittsville is one of five Krown locations in the Ottawa area, two of which are owned by Marc Bertrand. The Stittsville loca-

tion has been recognized nationally for its customer growth, quality of service and volume of customers.

In launching this new fundraising initiative in support of the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, Krown Rust Control Centres across Canada were also attempting to break the world record for most vehicles washed by an organization in one day. The goal was to wash more than 10,000 cars across Canada, raising more than $100,000 for the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada.

Krown, which was founded in 1986, is a Canadian-owned and operated vehicle maintenance business with each location owned by a local franchisee. This local ownership ensures that customers receive the best possible rust protection for their vehicle while also enjoying a superb customer experience.

The Krown Rust Control Centre has been on Cedarow Court in Stittsville since 2001.

Hockey4Wishes marathon Continued from page 1

Although this was the first year that Brent took part in the three-year old event, he said that he has been involved with Make-A-Wish during his media career and he believes in what the organization does.

He himself grew up in Nepean, playing competitive hockey with the Nepean Raiders and Kemptville 73s and in fact still plays recreational hockey.

Taking part was a natural for him given that he is now a dad and he serves the community through his media work.

Carlos Zaidi of Stittsville, who founded the event with fellow Stittsville dad Joel Barrette, was excited about this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third annual event in terms of the number of players registered to take part in the 24 hours of playing hockey.

Whereas in the previous two years there were enough players registered for only two teams, meaning that there was on-ice action happening only half the time during the 24 hours of the event, this year there were over 60 players registered, filling out four

teams.

As a result, there was continuous hockey action on the ice at the Bell Sensplex â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the blue Team JenCor; the orange Team Cistel; the red Team VLN; and the yellow Team BOOM 99.7 FM. Each of the teams was named after a major sponsor of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey4Wishesâ&#x20AC;? event. JenCor Entertainment is an independent production company headquartered in Ottawa, with its productions viewed around the world. Colin McKeown of Stittsville is executive producer of JenCor Entertainment.

Cistel is an Ottawa firm that provides technology and management consulting services to help both public and private sector customers find success.

VLN Reach Foundation raises money to help children around the world. Mohan Vijay of VLN Reach Foundation invented and sold the technology related to a high frequency forced pulsed water jet and now this philanthropic-minded scientist has a focus on charitable work.

BOOM 99.7 FM is an Ottawa radio station owned by Corus Entertainment that focuses on music from the 70â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 90â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Carlos Zaidi sees this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey4Wishesâ&#x20AC;? event becoming a family event which engages the community more, pointing out, for instance, that the indoor soccer field at the Bell Sensplex could become the site for such attractions as a bouncy castle. This may come in the future but this year this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey4Wishesâ&#x20AC;? event did take a step in this direction, holding a free family fun skate from 12 noon to 2 p.m. last Saturday. Those who

took part even had the opportunity to skate with Spartacat, the Ottawa Senators mascot, and to enjoy his hijinks. There was no cost to take part in this family fun skate although donations were appreciated.

Besides Spartacat, there was even a Star Wars character or two on the ice for the skate. A whole host of Star Wars characters, including Darth Vadar, Storm Troopers and Chewbacca, were on site last Saturday to support Tysen Lefebvre and Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario.

Tysen Lefebvre was there as well and dropped the puck at the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official opening on Saturday morning, with founders and organizers Carlos Zaidi and Joel

Barrette taking the faceoff. Also taking part in this official faceoff were former National Hockey League player John Chabot, who was participating as a player, and Scott Lefebvre who is Tysenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey4Wishesâ&#x20AC;? presented Tysen with a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey4Wishesâ&#x20AC;? jersey, with his name emblazoned on the back, along with â&#x20AC;&#x153;1M,â&#x20AC;? signifying the one million dollar goal for his â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission To A Millionâ&#x20AC;? campaign for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hockey4Wishesâ&#x20AC;? raised $25,000 for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario in each of the past two years.

Raising funds for Tysen Lefebvre’s ‘Mission To A Million’ campaign Continued from page 15

This year, with the increased participation, $36,000 was raised, going directly to Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million” campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, enough to grant 100 wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Tysen Lefebvre is a Stittsville youth who had

his own wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario and so decided to give back by launching a campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario.

In this 24 Hours of Hockey4Wishes, teams of adults play games of non-contact hockey continuously over a 24 hour period, starting at 9 a.m. last Saturday, July 19 and running through to 9 a.m. last Sunday, July 20. The players involved saw their teams each play 12

games over this 24 hour period.

The hockey action is non-contact and noncompetitive, involving adult recreational players. Its pickup hockey in its most pure form as game scores are not recorded. About the only stat that is kept is the total number of goals scored.

This Hockey4Wishes fundraiser is a reality because of two Stittsville hockey playing dads, Joel Barrette and Carlos Zaidi, who have combined their love of hockey with a desire to help Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario fulfill the wishes of children suffering from severe medical conditions. That they both have healthy children has only made them more passionate about helping parents who are not as fortunate as they are.

Joel and Carlos attended an adult hockey skills camp together which is how they rekindled their interest in playing hockey.

The idea of holding a fundraising hockey event came from the two of them sitting together in a dressing room and talking about such a fundraiser.

It was Joel who came up with the concept of organizing it like a hockey marathon, as it were, with games being played over a 24 hour period.

Joel had been involved in other 24 hour

events such as relays and rallies so the idea of playing hockey for 24 hours straight had what he calls “a nice ring” to him. And it would be an event that would raise money for a charity.

It was Carlos who came up with the idea of using this hockey marathon to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario.

He had been aware of Make-A-Wish not only through involvement over a number of years through his workplace but also he knew of the work of Make-A-Wish because a friend of his daughter was a recipient of a wish from Make-A-Wish. This brought the work of MakeA-Wish close to home for him and so he suggested that Make-A-Wish be the recipient of funds raised by this hockey marathon event.

Players sign up for the Hockey4Wishes event, paying a registration fee. This goes to help cover the costs associated with the event such as the ice rental, the meals that are provided and the personalized hockey jerseys. Players have varying skill levels and their ages range from the 20’s to the late 50’s.

Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario grants wishes for children between the ages of 3 and 17 with life threatening medical conditions. The child does not have to be terminally ill and in fact many wish children grow into adulthood and lead happy lives.

Library now offers Chromebooks at branches The laptops can be borrowed for free and used in any library branch for up to three hours at a time. The Chromebooks use the library’s wireless Internet network, so customers can use them anywhere inside a library branch.

Wireless use at public library branches was up 35 per cent last year compared to 2012.

As Wi-Fi use continues to increase, providing laptops makes

Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The Ottawa Public Library has declared laptops a success and now offers Chromebooks at every branch.

After starting off with 30 of the lightweight netbooks during a pilot project last year, the library announced July 15 it has added 114 of the devices to its collection.

sense, said library board chairwoman Jan Harder.

“As our spaces are changing to accommodate customers and their devices, it’s great that we are able to lend out these maintenance-free and secure laptops to Ottawans to check up on their emails, read the latest news, or do some research,” she said in a press release.

While the library also has 30 iPad tablet devices available at a few

branches, technology manager Craig Ginther said Chromebooks were a better choice to expand the library’s mobile technology options.

“Our experience with iPads is that they don’t work well as shared devices,” he wrote in an email.

Chromebooks use a Google Admin system that is designed for shared use and makes the laptops much easier to manage, Ginther said. Chromebooks are simple devices that don’t require

any manual software upgrades or maintenance because they function mostly via the Internet on cloudbased software.

They are also about half the cost of iPads, he said. The 114 Chromebooks cost $249 each for a total of $28,386, Ginther said.

So far, only one of the Chromebooks had gone missing, but the library was able to recover it, Ginther said.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate.

All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

Stittsville News - Thursday, July 24, 2014 21

SVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred name for forest not supported by city John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The old growth cedar forest owned by the city of Ottawa immediately west of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville may be named Kemp Woods.

This is the name which the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) agreed upon for the forest at the SVA monthly executive meeting on Thursday, July 17.

However, this suggestion does place the SVA at odds with the city of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Management Services and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who are agreeable to any of four names, one of which is not Kemp Woods. The four names acceptable to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Management Services and supported by councillor Qadri are Kemp Woodland, Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wood-

land, Kemp Forest and Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Forest.

Names reviewed by Emergency Management Services but rejected were John Kemp Woodlot, Kemp Woodlot and Kemp Woods.

Emergency Management Services of the city has influence over the naming of streets and city locations to avoid names that might duplicate others and hence lead to confusion in emergency situations.

SVA president Phil Sweetnam had indicated a preference for Kempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Woodlot since it is believed that the forest area once was used by Stittsville entrepreneur John Kemp as a woodlot for providing the railway with wood. Mr. Kemp, who is also associated with Kempâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tavern (now Cabottoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Restaurant) on Hazeldean Road, supplied wood to the railway in its early days in this area in the 1870â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 1880â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

However, the SVA executive opted for the name Kemp Woods which will be submitted to the city as the SVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preference for the name of the old growth cedar forest area.

SVA secretary Doug Robertson pointed out that even if the name does not reflect the use of the property as a woodlot, this information regarding the use of the property by Mr. Kemp would be conveyed on any plaque that is erected at the site regarding the historic significance of the forest.

A project to inventory and then to enhance and preserve this 8.9 hectare natural area which features an old growth cedar forest is being spearheaded by the Ottawa Stewardship Council, a volunteer â&#x20AC;&#x201C;based organization that works with the city of Ottawa on environmental projects.

One of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project is to focus on one of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 188 woodlots and

the Stewardship Council selected this old growth forest beside Sacred Heart out of four suggested by the city.

City forestry personnel have been involved and recently a group of volunteers who are knowledgeable in environmental matters undertook an inventory of the trees, plants and animals in this old growth forest.

The inventory revealed that the area boasts numerous trees well over 100 years old, with huge circumferences.

The goal is for this area to remain in its natural state and not become a park. However, it is hoped that the area will be able to be enjoyed by members of the public. There currently are informal paths weaving through the area which is dense forest. There is no intention at present to improve these informal paths by, for instance, spreading wood chips

or gravel on them.

The project will involve replanting some of the area with deciduous trees which it has had historically.

Some of this planting may be done this fall but the bulk will probably be done next spring. The trees to be planted will be only those similar to the trees that are found on site today.

These trees include basswood, red maple, birch and even elm.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forestry staff will be doing an assessment of any ash trees located in the area. Ash trees in the city are currently under threat from the emerald ash borer.

There are also plans to locate â&#x20AC;&#x153;sitting rocksâ&#x20AC;? at various entrances to the forest where there would be interpretive signage telling about the features of the area and, hopefully, something of its history. These entrances would be off the Trans Canada Trail on the north, the Caribou Street area to the west, the Sacred Heart high school grounds to the east and the proposed new housing subdivision which will feature a green pathway corridor to the south.

The Ottawa Stewardship Council has also made contact with Sacred Heart High School and plans to partner with the school, with students monitoring the area over the longer term.

This would involve students measuring and examining the health of the trees in the old growth forest over the years.

The Ottawa Stewardship Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan is to eventually hand over responsibility and care to a community group which would then monitor the area, carry out annual projects such as clean-ups, fall plantings and implement community suggestions.

The Stewardship Council envisions using about $15,000 for its initial work related to this area.

That would leave $10,000 from the initial funding of $25,000 to be used by the community group for ongoing initiatives and projects related to the area.

“Slow Down For Us’ signs in Stittsville john.curry@metroland.com

News - Temporary signs reminding motorist that children are at play and to slow down are appearing along three Stittsville streets.

The signs, provided by the city of Ottawa through the office of Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, are part of a “Slow Down For Us” signage campaign which is part of the city’s Safer Roads Ottawa Program.

The signs, which show images of youngsters playing, are meant to draw the attention of motorists to the fact that children could be at play along the street and so to drive responsibility and within the speed limit.

Councillor Qadri, who has been provided with 50 of the signs for placement for up to 60 days by homeowners out near the street, has been providing the signs to residents of Liard Street, Cherry Drive and Brigade Avenue.

These streets were selected for the start of the program in Stittsville because these are the streets from which the most complaints about traffic arise.

Councillor Qadri will provide a sign to any location along these streets who requests such a sign be erected at the front of their home.

The signs will be kept in place for 60 days after which they will be removed as the project moves on to other streets in the community.

These signs and their message are being backed up with enforcement support from the Ottawa Police Service, giving them an added impact.

Rob Wilkinson from the Safer Roads Ottawa Program was at the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) monthly meeting on Thursday, July 17 talking about the Safer Roads Ottawa Program including this “Slow Down For Us” sign program.

He explained that the use of the signage is to get people back reconnected with their community so that speeding is reduced. He noted that 75 percent of those caught speeding on local residential roads turn out to be local residents.

In his presentation to the SVA, Mr. Wilkinson outlining the Safer Roads Ottawa Program which in 2013 had a number of campaigns from providing lights to cyclists to working with young and senior motorists to several signage projects.

These included a “Leave the Phone Alone” campaign in which six road signs using motorists not to use cell phones while driving were erected throughout the city.

There was also a “Keep An Eye Out For Motorcycles” campaign to urge motorist to watch for motorcyclists.

The “Slow Down For Us” sign campaign, such as the one now being implemented in the Liard Street/Cherry Drive/Brigade Avenue in Stittsville, was designed to try to combat speeding on streets which Mr. Wilkinson acknowledged is the number one complaint received by police.

He said that this “Slow Down For Us” sign campaign gets away from a strictly enforcement focus regarding speeding and tries to get motorists more aware that they are travelling through a community where kids are playing.

Safer Roads Ottawa also had a “Please Walk Your Bike” sign campaign in 2013 to combat a situation in which pedestrians, especially seniors, were afraid to walk along the sidewalk because of cyclists using the sidewalk as well.

The signage was erected to urge cyclists to walk their bikes along this certain stretch of sidewalk.

Mr. Wilkinson said that there was a marked difference in behaviour by cyclists after the signage was erects.

Mr. Wilkinson pointed out, though, that all of these sign campaigns are reinforced and backed up by police enforcement action if required.

Another Safer Roads Ottawa Program campaign is a “Speeding Costs Your Deerly” campaign.

Mr. Wilkinson said that there are about 500 vehicle/deer collisions in the city of Ottawa in a year. He said that there are five to ten areas

of the city where this is a particular problem and this campaign is meant to urge motorists in these areas to go slower which provides a better opportunity to avoid a vehicle/deer collision.

In 2014, the Safer Roads Ottawa Program has also undertaken a Winter Walk To School Day in which firefighters and paramedics in uniform walked to school with students.

The Safer Roads Ottawa Program has also begun a “I Stop, You Stop” campaign regarding vehicles stopping for school buses which are stopping to pick up or let off students.

This campaign involves placement of a high definition camera on the side of the bus. This can provide a photograph which is considered adequate enough for the laying of charges against an offending motorists who does not stop for the flashing lights of the school bus.

This is now a pilot project in the city and Mr. Wilkinson said that next year will probably see more school buses equipped with these cameras.

The Safer Roads Ottawa Program has also held bicycle rodeos in areas such as Munster Hamlet and Alta Vista to promote cycling safety among youth. The hope is that local community groups or service clubs will slowly take over the holding of these bicycle rodeos, making them a true community event with lots of involvement while getting the message of cycling safety out to youth.

Mr. Wilkinson said that the idea behind the Safer Roads Ottawa Program and its various campaigns is to try to stimulate people to change their behaviour in driving, cycling and walking.

SVA wants road connection John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) wants to see a road connection between the Jackson Trails area and Carp Road.

At the SVA executive meeting on Thursday, July 17, a motion was passed that the SVA recommend to the city of Ottawa that there be a road connection between Kimpton Drive in the Jackson Trails community and Echowoods Avenue in the Lloydalex Crescent community that would link the Jackson Trails community and the proposed new Minto subdivision immediately west of it to the Carp Road via Echowoods Avenue.

Echowoods Avenue meets Carp Road at a signalized intersection, creating a four-way intersection which also handles Kittiwake Drive coming from the Timbermere subdivision.

This road connection would provide a second entrance and exit road for the Jackson Trails and Minto communities while also providing access to the Carp Road business area as well as access to highway 417 via Carp Road.

The matter was brought up at the meeting by Holding teddy bears at the Teddy Bears Picnic at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Tim LaPlante, an SVA director and owner of Corners last Sunday afternoon are Eva Adams, left, and Anna Adams, right. the Stittsville Sobeys located at the Stittsville Corners shopping area at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road.

Stittsville News - Thursday, July 24, 2014 25

Mayoralty candidate puts weekly pickup in platform John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

26 Stittsville News - Thursday, July 24, 2014

News - He is not trash talking but rather is talking about trash.

And while it was not part of his initial platform, city of Ottawa mayoralty candidate Darren Wood has added the restoration of weekly garbage pickup to his platform because he has kept hearing about it in his campaigning, saying that people are really upset about losing weekly garbage collection.

Indeed, Mr. Wood readily predicts that the current mayor and council will reinstate weekly garbage collection before the end of the current term in a last ditch effort to save their political futures in this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal election.

He admits that weekly garbage collection may be a small item but he says that once people grab onto an issue, it becomes the basis of their voting decision. If Mr. Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction does not prove out, he says that he will bring back weekly garbage collection at the first council meeting over which he presides as mayor.

And, of course, associated with garbage collection is the green bin program and its elimination has also been added to Mr. Woodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s platform. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The green bin program was a sham right from the start,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should never have ever been started up due to the fact that the city knew most would not use the service.â&#x20AC;?

He says that people do not like change and especially do not like to be pushed too hard and too fast on a change and in his view this is what council did with regard to the green bin program.

He says that council should have asked the people first and then it might have been accepted, rather than just implementing the change.

Mr. Wood, 45, says that the number one issue for many candidates in this fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal election is going to be garbage since so many people are â&#x20AC;&#x153;pissed offâ&#x20AC;? about the lack of weekly garbage collection and the green bin program.

He says that restoring weekly garbage collection is a campaign promise that can be easily kept, although he admits that it is not enough of an issue to base a whole campaign on it.

Darren Wood Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he has other planks in his platform: balancing the budget and getting city spending under control; having a zero percent tax increase for two years of the term; making city hall accountable and transparent; ensuring voters have more say on big ticket expenditures; freezing all council salaries and budgets; and reworking LRT to use existing tracks.

Although never an elected politician in his native Niagara Falls, that was where he was involved in the political process for almost 20 years as a candidate, fundraiser, campaign manager and activist, mainly fighting for the little guy and for the community.

This included a campaign to save a Santa Claus parade and action that led to a flip flop by the mayor that allowed the development of the Fallsview Casino with its 1,100 jobs. It showed him that a person can make a difference by becoming involved.

He found that since moving to Ottawa where he lives at Marathon in West Carleton, he was missing being involved in the political arena and that is why earlier he filed to run for the city council position for Stittsville. He thought that it would be a fun experience.

But then he got into a twitter war of words with mayor Jim Watson over the decision to entice a professional baseball team to Ottawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bringing baseball to Ottawa again from a league that most people have never heard of before was a mistake of epic proportions,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Wood says, noting that it will cost taxpayers millions and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be supported over the long run with three other professional teams â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Senators, RedBlacks and Fury â&#x20AC;&#x201C; already in the sports entertainment marketplace in the city.

He admits that he initially

had no interest in running for mayor, that he was content running for council, but that the baseball issues irked him and he could not understand how mayor Watson and the city could be behind such an initiative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is crazy,â&#x20AC;? he says, wondering what studies show that ball in Ottawa is viable.

His twitter exchanges with the mayor on the issue led nowhere, so he decided after consulting with his wife and family that he would switch and run for the position of mayor.

He says that his campaign will not be personal against mayor Watson but will be strictly political, questioning the mayor on what he has done in office during the past four years.

He says that debating the mayor on issues should be fun, noting that he considers himself a serious candidate for the position of mayor based on his previous political involvement and his business experience in starting his own successful construction company.

Mr. Wood says that he knows what he is talking about and during the campaign he intends to hold the present mayor accountable for what he has done in office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to debate Jim (Watson) anyplace, anytime he wants,â&#x20AC;? he says, adding that he wants to hear and deal in facts.

He is hoping that voters will end up questioning what mayor Watson has been doing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jim is shaping Ottawa in his image but at taxpayerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Wood says, noting that there are only two reasons why a municipality should go into dept. One is for infrastructure that requires replacing immediately and the other is to invest in infrastructure that will produce a return on investment in a realistic time span. In his view, the Lansdowne Park project is an example of needless spending at the taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense with a very extended return on investment.

Quilting, woodturning on display at library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stittsville husband and wife Keith and Valletta Hudson both have their individual artistic passions. Keith is an avid woodturner while Valletta is an accomplished quilter, sewer and fabric artist.

They operate West Ridge Studios from their Stittsville home and hold an annual hobby and craft sale leading up to Christmas.

But for the month of July, you can see and enjoy samples of their individual work at the Art Space Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

Seven pieces of Vallettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quilting work are on display on the Art

Space Wall while an assortment of the bowls, rings, stoppers and other items which Keith turns are on display in the glass display case at the Art Space Gallery.

Valletta Hudson has been sewing and quilting for about 40 years. It was her mother who introduced her to quilting and over the years she has taken many courses in quilting.

Since retiring ten years ago, she has pursued her quilting passion. She has made quilts as gifts and has donated quilts to charities.

In addition to making quilts and wall hangings, she enjoys creating one-of-a-kind quilted jackets.

Valletta is an active member of the Poole Creek Quilters of Stittsville and is also a member of the Villages

Sunset Pointe Quilt Group in Florida. Among the seven pieces of her quilting artistry on display at the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville library is a landscape quilt of a bird at its nest.

It is a smaller piece but the thickness of such work allows for easy hanging, something which is sometimes challenging for a larger quilted wall hanging.

Keith Hudson has been involved with woodworking and carpentry over the years but in recent years has focused on woodturning. He is

mainly self-taught in wood turning although he has taken courses at Lee Valley Tools and at the Village Woodshop in Florida.

He makes bowls, platters, serving dishes, candle holders, vases, pepper and salt mills and pens as well as smaller items like spin tops, wine bottle stoppers and buttons. He also makes quilting related items like quilt stands and hand tools that complement his wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hobby of quilting.

He also makes some of his own wood turning tools.

Keith uses primarily local woods such as maple, cherry, ash and butternut. He even has worked with apple wood and with lilac wood. He also uses some exotic woods, usually for smaller items like pens.

He has just acquired a variable speed lathe to replace his former seven-speed lathe. This variable speed lathe will allow him to be able to turn larger pieces of wood safely.

Keith is now making segmented wood turned items. This segmented turning requires using wood which has been carefully prepared with precise angles. Indeed, the preparation work for making a segmented wood turned item takes much longer than the actual turning involved in producing the item.

The artistic work of Valletta and Keith Hudson of Stittsville will be on display at the Art Space Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville until the end of July. It can be viewed whenever the library branch is open.

Tough week for Stittsville 56ers with two losses Special to the News

on Wednesday, July 16, the 56ers lost 12-9 to the visiting Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric team.

On Thursday, July 17, the 56ers travelled to Quyon to play the hometown Quyon Flyers.

This game also ended up in the loss column for the 56ers as the Flyers scored seven runs to win by a 7-4 margin.

Dan Konkle took the loss on the mound for the 56ers.

The Stittsville 56ers will host the Quyon Flyers on Wednesday, July 30 at 8:30 p.m. at the Alexander Grove diamond in Stittsville.

The Stittsville 56ers of the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will be one of ten teams playing in the upcoming Gil Read Memorial Fastpitch Tournament in Carp from this Friday, July 25 to this Sunday, July 27.

One team in this year’s tournament is last year’s runners-up, the Elkland Thunderbellys from Pennsylvania.

They lost to Sharon (Ontario) Lake Simcoe Lightning in the 2013 tournament championship game.

Most of the teams and players involved this year are from either the Greater Ottawa Fastball League (GOFL) or other men’s leagues in the district. Leading the Eastern Ontario entries will be Micksburg Twins, from the Pembroke area, the defending GOFL champions. This season Twins are in the middle of the pack in the seven-team loop, but the standings are very close at present.

The other GOFL teams who have signed on for the competition include Stittsville 56ers, Kanata Pirates and Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric. Stittsville and Kanata are currently battling for first place in the league.

Also penciled in are a local tournament team, the Ottawa Valley A’s, comprised of players from West Carleton. They will be joined by Ottawa Broker 4 Tickets from the Glen Cairn Men’s Fastball League along with an all-star entry from the Trend Arlington Men’s Fastball League in Ottawa. Returning to the Carp showdown

is another perennial competitor, the Napanee (Shoeless Joe’s) Junior Express. Napanee made it to the playoff round last year before losing to eventual tournament champion Sharon Lightning in the quarter finals. The 10th and final team to join the cast is Domville Aces, a tournament team from the Prescott-Brockville area.

Again this year all games will be played on the two diamonds at the Carp Fairgrounds. All proceeds from the tournament will go to the Gil Read Memorial Foundation. The foundation assists underprivileged youngsters who wish to play sports, but otherwise would not have the funds necessary to take part.

The teams have been matched in two, five-team divisions. The event opens with four games Friday night (July 25), two at 7 p.m. and two more at 9 o’clock. Action resumes at 9 a.m. Saturday and continues all day.

Sunday afternoon’s championship final is scheduled for 3 p.m. Those who attend the tournament will find a large refreshment tent on site and food (hot dogs and hamburgers) will be available all weekend. There will be a loonie ball toss held again this year and there is a splash pad available for youngsters.

A day pass for the tournament is $5 per person while a weekend pass is $10. Children under 12 years of age will be admitted free and there will be lots of activities on site for children.

Sports - The eighth annual Sarah McCarthy Memorial Golf Tournament is happening on Saturday, Aug. 9.

It gets underway at 10:30 a.m. that day at the Manderley on the Green golf course on Prince of Wales Drive near North Gower.

All proceeds from the tournament will be donated within the community in memory of Sarah McCarthy who died tragically in Nov. 2005.

More information about the tournament or to register, either for the golf and following dinner or just for the dinner, please call Sean or Pam McCarthy at 613-838-2764.

Sarah McCarthy, who was 25 at the time of her tragic death on Nov. 27, 2005, had left a pub at Kanata Centrum and was walking with two others including her uncle Terry to stay at the nearby Holiday Inn Select when her group tried to flag down a taxi. A verbal altercation ensued, with the end result being that the driver sped away but with Sarah, having been knocked down by the vehicle, caught underneath the vehicle. She ended up being dragged 1.5 kilometers, with her body eventually ending up on highway 417 eastbound just below the Kanata pedestrian overpass. No charges were ever laid against the taxi driver. An inquest was held into the death.

This annual memorial Golf Tournament is one of the ways in which Sarah is being honoured and remembered.

Her name is also on a plaque at a Trans Canada Trail Pavilion at a site near the Portage Bridge in downtown Ottawa.

There is also a memorial bench in Sarah’s memory at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in Richmond.

There are also awards presented at local schools in memory of Sarah.

RAMS colours and logo for Stittsville Junior B’s John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Goodbye Stittsville Royals Hello Stittsville RAMS. The Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) has entered into a partnership agreement that will see Stittsville’s junior B hockey team that has been known as the Stittsville Royals become the Stittsville RAMS. As such, the junior team, now to be called the Stittsville RAMS Junior Hockey Club, will be wearing jerseys with Stittsville RAMS colours and logo.

In addition, the SMHA is turning over its canteen and vending rights at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena to the junior team, with the junior team agreeing to have the canteen open for all SMHA events including games, practices and tournaments.

In return, the junior team will be providing Stittsville RAMS minor and/or major midget players with opportunities to practice with or play with the junior team. The junior team will be providing a mentorship program for all Stittsville Rams minor and/or major midget players including group sessions where the junior B program will be outlined and providing advice to players on how to achieve the goal of reaching the junior level.

The junior team coaches will run at least one practice

during the season for both the minor midget and major midget Rams teams.

The SMHA will be promoting all events of the Stittsville RAMS junior team while the junior team will feature in its publicity players who are from Stittsville.

This partnership agreement has a three year term with the possibility of two one-year options.

Tim Sheehan, president of the SMHA, says that the SMHA is excited about this partnership with the Stittsville junior hockey team because it not only includes the name change which means that the RAMS name will now be used from novice right up through junior hockey but also because it involves a developmental program for SMHA minor and major midget players who want to play junior hockey in their home town.

He sees the partnership as helping to promote and develop hockey in the Stittsville community, widening the exposure of the RAMS logo and RAMS colours.

Hamish Fraser, coach and general manager of the junior hockey team, sees this enhanced connection between the junior team and SMHA as a way of increasing the team’s connection with the Stittsville community. He wants to see his players out in the community more and mingling more with youngster hockey players.

The junior team, for its part, will help in the development of SMHA midget and other players.

The Stittsville RAMS junior team also hopes to have initiation level and novice mini-games take place between periods at its home games.

All of this should mean not only more fan support for the junior team but also more players wanting to stay in hockey and playing for their hometown junior team.

The new Stittsville RAMS junior team will be playing a number of its home games this coming season at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, on either Friday or Saturday nights. Indeed, coach Fraser would eventually like to see all of the junior team’s home games at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, calling it a “friendlier barn.” The team has been playing all of its home games at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. In addition, the availability of the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena opens up other possibilities for the junior team.

Junior B team now called RAMS Continued from page 33

Coach Fraser is happy that SMHA has agreed to work with the junior team to help it become more involved in the Stittsville community.

“We are a Stittsville community team,” coach Fraser says about the junior team and so this means getting out in the community and giving back to the community.

Coach Fraser admits that this will not happen overnight but he says that the junior players will be available for appearances at any local businesses which support the team.

The new Stittsville RAMS junior team will be opening a prospects and conditioning camp on Saturday, Aug. 23, to be followed by the opening of the team’s main pre-season camp on Monday, Sept. 1. The first game is expected to be around mid-September.

The Stittsville RAMS will be playing in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League which is a Canadian junior hockey league operating in Eastern Ontario. The league is sanctioned by Hockey Eastern Ontario and Hockey Canada.

The SMHA offers a range of hockey programs to over 1,100 players aged 4 to 19 years. The SMHA is a member of District Four of the Ottawa District Minor Hockey Association, an arm of Hockey Eastern Ontario which reports to Hockey Canada, the governing body of amateur hockey in Canada.

Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the plantar fascia, better known to anyone who has ever had it as a severe pain, usually in the heel of the foot.

The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue that originates at the heel bone and extends under the arch and joins the tissue under the balls of the feet. The purpose of this band of tissue is to maintain the arch of the foot by binding bones, muscle, ligaments and soft tissue.

When the arch flattens (known as a fallen arch), the plantar fascia may stretch which results in micro tears where it attaches at the heel, causing inflammation. When a person with plantar fasciitis stands and places weight on the foot, the

fascia re-tears resulting in sudden and sharp pain. Pain diminishes with rest but the relief is temporary.

The pain worsens with use, often causing a person to overcompensate or adjust their stance, which can lead to leg, knee and even hip pain.

The solution is to seek the professional help of a Canadian Certified Pedorthist at BioPed Ottawa. http://www. bioped.com/locations/ locations.asp?id=46 What causes Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis can be caused by one or several factors including: s %XCESSIVE WEIGHT OR WEIGHT GAIN s /VERUSE OF MUSCLES CAUSED BY long periods of standing, walking or exercising s 0REGNANCY s 7EARING WORN OR DAMAGED

unsupportive footwear s &LAT FEET OR FALLEN ARCHES WEAK ankles http://www.bioped.com/ conditions/foot_pain.asp What are the treatment options for plantar fasciitis?

The first step is to book an appointment with a Canadian Certified Pedorthist at BioPed Ottawa where they specialize in

the casting, manufacturing and fitting and modification of custommade orthotics. Custom made orthotics control and/or correct the mechanics which caused the problem by supporting the body’s skeleton muscles and fascia in the correct position and help prevent the problem from reoccurring.

There are many different types of custom foot orthotics ranging from dress to sport which are manufactured from multiple types of materials. Rigid orthotics can be made of thin, strong materials which fit within any shoe, from skates, golf shoes and even dress shoes. Semi-rigid orthotics are made of shock-absorbing materials which are moulded with support systems and crafted to relieve high pressure areas. Rigid and semi-rigid orthotics can be made with higher sides and thicker materials to custom fit a patient’s needs. No one will know you are wearing orthotics, except you and your happy feet! For more information on plantar fasciitis and other foot concerns, visit BioPed in Ottawa at one of their four centres (Barrhaven, Orleans, Kanata, Westgate Mall) or Contact them www.bioped.com/locations/ locations.

News - The Board of Directors of the Richmond Village Association (RVA) has been busy since being elected last February.

The eight members of the Board have been focused on enhancing RVA operating methods and procedures.

One decision was to separate Board meetings from RVA general meetings which are open to the public. This change gave the Board the flexibility to hold meetings as often as required, to speak frankly on sensitve topics and to make quicker decisions.

In addition, each general meeting now has as theme or single topic as its focus.

The RVA Board held five Board meetings in the February to April period including a facilitated planning session. Four operating committees have been established, each with a defined budget and spending guidelines.

The general meetings have been moved to new venues such as the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library and the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall.

The RVA has also centralized all of its physical assets into one

secure storage facility.

It was in May that the new Board of Directors held the first events of 2014 for the RVA. A spring clean up and a village-wide garage sale. Also in May an RVA flyer was mailed to 2,400 postal boxes in Richmond and Munster.

A general meeting was held with the public asked to tell the Board of Directors what it is that they want the RVA to be.

In May the RVA funded and coordinated the Richmond Lodge retirement community’s garden and flower beautification project.

It was also in May that the RVA was, along with the city of Ottawa and the Caivan development firm, a part of the OMB facilitated agreement regarding development of the lands at the western edge of the village.

In may the RVA Board also approved, funded and implemented a new automated accounting system.

In June, the RVA held its second general meeting which was a round table conversation involving representatives of seven local service organizations and members of the public. A committee to plan the village’s 2018 anniversary celebrations was created at this

general meeting.

In June the RVA announced partnerships with the 100th Regiment of Food re-enactment group and also with the Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) to implement youth and senior programs in the community.

The second annual Richmond Family Fun Day was held in June.

New gold and silver sponsorships for the RVA were secured and the RVA presented its first RVA Student Awards to two local high school students who are pursuing post-secondary education.

RVA president Tino Bevacqua points out that the RVA Board of Directors has been able to accomplish so much since February thanks to the many volunteers, sponsors and supporters who have been involved in helping the RVA achieve these results.

Tino Bevacqua is the president of the RVA with John Shearer serving as vice-president.

Lorne Smallwood is the treasurer while Doug Arnold is the secretary.

Currect directors of the RVA are Shelley Lafleux, David Proulx, Kim Bruton and Kristine Quarrington.

This afternoon community awards ceremony featured the presentation of various individual student awards which previously had been presented at the commencement ceremony.

These awards, bursaries and scholarships, most presented by community organizations, are presented to students for outstanding achievement and/ or to help the graduating student as he or she goes on to post-secondary education.

So, you had the A.F. Austin Award, named after a former music teacher at South Carleton and given for outstanding contribution to the school’s music program.

There was also the Donald Watson Scholarship Fund which sees scholarships presented to graduates who have demonstrated a commitment to their studies and who have exemplified the attributes of perseverance, courage, respect and integrity.

The Emily Keogh Memorial Scholarship, presented in

memory of a South Carleton High School student who died tragically, goes to a student who has demonstrated optimism, curiosity, enthusiasm, acceptance of others and compassion and who has made an impact through leadership and has been an enthusiastic supporter of South Carleton.

The Manotick Kiwanis Award goes to a graduate who has been active in the school community and who

has achieved a high academic standing.

The Ontario Principals’ Council Award for Student Leadership goes to a student who has displayed outstanding leadership qualities.

The Robert Erwin Scholarship, named after a longtime former South Carleton teacher, goes to a student athlete from either the football team or the track and field team who has been a leader in the school and

on the field of play and has been involved in school and community charity events.

The Sarah McCarthy Bursary, in honour of a former South Carleton student who died tragically, is presented to a graduating student who is an enthusiastic supporter of the school and has demonstrated optimism, enthusiasm, acceptance of others, caring and compassion.

The Susan J. Husband

Bursary goes to a graduating student who has been actively involved in school and community affairs and who is pursuing post-secondary education.

The Tammy Clark Memorial Music Award, given in memory of a former South Carleton student, goes to a student who has demonstrated an unconditional giving of one’s self to the love of music in the school’s music program.

Collision Reporting Centre at Huntmar Police Station Special to the News

collision and eliminate an extended trafďŹ c congestion situation when the vehicles remain on the roadway. An ofďŹ cer will not process the collision report at the scene but rather the reporting will be done at the Collision Reporting Centre.

Motorists involved in collisions will be able to report at the Collision Reporting Centre as soon as possible.

If more than one vehicle is involved, the drivers do not have to attend at the Collision Reporting Centre at the same time.

But a driver must report to the Collision Reporting Centre within 24 hours or else the police will start a fail-to-report collision investigation.

The Collision Reporting Centre at 211 Huntmar Drive is open seven days a week. Daily hours of operation can be found on the Ottawa Police Service website.

For now, only collisions in the west end of the city that meet the criteria will be diverted to the Huntmar Collision Reporting Centre.

But ultimately it is expected that when the other two Collision Reporting Centres are up and running that 70 percent of all collisions (about 13,000 in total) will be redirected to a Collision Report Centre. This should be the case by the end of this year.

The real beneďŹ t is that having these Collision Reporting Centres will free up about 8,600 hours of patrol time for Ottawa Police Service ofďŹ cers.

These hours will then be redirected to responding to more serious crime and to preventing criminal activity.

News - West end trafďŹ c collisions without injuries and where the vehicle remains driveable or towable are now going to be processed at a new Ottawa Police Service Collision Reporting Centre at the Huntmar Drive Police Station.

This is a new initiative by the Ottawa Police Service and is the ďŹ rst of three such Collision Reporting Centres that will be opened across the city.

The other two, to be up and running by the end of the year, are at the main police station at 474 Elgin Street and at 3343 St. Joseph Boulevard in the east end.

These Collision Reporting Centres are to provide a faster, safer and more efďŹ cient process for vehicle collision reporting.

The Collision Reporting Centre at 22 Huntmar Drive is now open after a testing period.

It will process collision reports from collisions in the west end in which there are no injuries and in which the vehicle remains driveable or towable.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it will work: all motorists involved in a collision must contact the Ottawa Police Service Communciations Centre at 613230-6211. It will then be determined if the collision can be reported through the Collision Reporting Centre or if an ofďŹ cer needs to attend the scene. If the motorist is referred to the Collision Reporting Centre, the motorist will be given a police report number to take to the Collision Reporting Centre.

What this means is that the vehicles can be removed from the roadway at the scene of the

Cancer survivor returns to Ride the Rideau

Giving back where they build

By Tracey Tong

husband welcomed their first grandchild.

The first was her father, Jack, who was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and subsequently successfully treated with the oncolytic therapies the Ride would help support.

Since then, Dawn’s had another mammogram and ultrasound, and both came back clear. After a year off from Ride the Rideau, she and Arthur are plotting their return to the 100 km event at the fifth annual ride on Saturday, September 6 – on a tandem bicycle, of course.

With three rides already under her belt, irony struck when Dawn herself was diagnosed with breast cancer in May 2013. The investment advisor with RBC Dominion Securities was 50 years old at the time.

“I’d had the instinct that something was wrong,” said Dawn.

When Mattamy Homes first got involved with Ride the Rideau in 2012, they were a cozy team of five. But like many event participants, the event grew on them. Inspired by the cause and captivated by the well-organized event, the team decided to up their involvement.

“It was the closing of a chapter and the start of a new one,” Dawn, now 51, summed up perfectly.

A mammogram and an ultrasound confirmed the presence of a solid mass, and she underwent a biopsy and a battery of tests at The Ottawa Hospital. Although it was breast cancer, Dawn did get the good news that it was caught early.

“The diagnosis came way out of left field,” Dawn remembered.

Within two weeks, Dawn had undergone a lumpectomy. The results were excellent – the cancer had not yet spread, and the margins were clear. She underwent six rounds of chemotherapy over 18 weeks, as well as radiation, which ended February 13 of this year.

One of the best parts? Her dad – “a picture of health at 88 years old” – will be there to cheer them on, she said.

Ride the Rideau is a natural fit for Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest new home builder, said Peter Gilgan, Founder and CEO of Mattamy Homes.

Based in Toronto, Gilgan, who is an avid cyclist, recently signed up to do the 100-mile ride in Ottawa alongside his staff.

To learn more about Ride the Rideau or to register as a rider or volunteer, visit www.ridetherideau.ca.

Two days later, Dawn and her

Two years later, the team has grown to more than 20 riders, and Mattamy Homes has taken the reins as title sponsor of The Ottawa Hospital Foundation’s signature fundraiser.

The second was her love of bicycling. A cycling fanatic of more than 30 years, she and her husband, Arthur, met 28 years ago through the Ottawa Bicycle Club, and participate in Ride the Rideau every year on a tandem bicycle.

They started small.

“This is definitely something that we’re proud to be a part of,” said Mark Parsons, President of the Ottawa Division of Mattamy Homes. Parsons and team captain Mattamy Senior Project Manager, Land Development

Mike Green, both avid cyclists, are leading group rides so all team members will be comfortable with their conditioning on the day of the Ride.

The team has brought Mattamy’s small Ottawa office closer together, Green said.

“Ottawa has always supported Mattamy,” said Gilgan, “and we want to give back where we build.”

According to the Canadian Cancer Society, cancer is the leading cause of death in Canada and is responsible for 30 cent of all deaths. An estimated 191,300 new cases of cancer and 76,600 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2014. The proceeds from Ride the Rideau support the groundbreaking cancer research that will save or improve the quality of life for many.

In its fifth year, Ride the Rideau will be held Saturday, September 6. It features a brand-new 100 mile distance this year, in addition to its popular 50 km and flagship 100 km rides. All distances feature new routes, departing from and returning to Ottawa’s EY Centre, making it easier for family, friends and fans to cheer riders on at the start and finish.

The Ride grows each year, continues to be the top cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario. In just four years, has raised over $6.45 million in support of cancer research, including the development of personalized therapies for cancer patients and clinical trials at The Ottawa Hospital.

Country music legend at Fair John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stonewall Jackson is coming to Richmond.

No, not the iconic Lt. Gen. Thomas Jonathan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stonewallâ&#x20AC;? Jackson, one of the best known and most gifted tactical Confederate commanders of the American Civil War, but the similarly iconic, at least in country music circles, Stonewall Jackson, an American country music singer who achieved his greatest renown during country musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s honky tonk era in the 1950s and early 1960s.

Now 81 years old, this musical Stonewall Jackson was in fact named after and has claimed to be a descendant of the famous Confederate General Thomas â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stonewallâ&#x20AC;?

Jackson. This country music legend will be performing at the upcoming Richmond Fair in Richmond, taking the stage in the arena on the Fairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunday afternoon, Sept. 21.

Early in his career, Stonewall Jackson toured with Ernest Tubb, the so-called Texas

Troubadour who is considered one of the pioneers of American country music and whose 1941 hit â&#x20AC;&#x153;Walking The Floor Over Youâ&#x20AC;? marked the rise of the honky tonk style of country music.

Stonewall Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakthrough hit was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Waterlooâ&#x20AC;? which was No. 1 on the country music charts for five weeks in 1959 and even was a crossover hit. It sold over one million cpies, achieving gold status.

His next No. 1 hit was â&#x20AC;&#x153;B.J. the D.J.â&#x20AC;? in 1964 while other hits included â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carpet On The Floor,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Wound Time Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Erase,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me and You and a Dog Named Boo.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, from 1958 to 1971, Jackson had 35 Top 40 country hits. He is most associated with the honky ton sound of the late 1950s and early 1960s, along with others such as Ray Price, Hank Williams and Lefty Frizzell.

In 1963, Stonewall Jackson was the first artist to record a live album from the Grand Ole Opry with the album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Showboat.â&#x20AC;? He has been

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Mother always said my brother Emerson was going to grow up to be a prominent scientist, or at the very least an inventor of note. He spent hours drawing on art paper that Mother somehow managed to buy at Ritza’s Drug Store at the one cent sale -- you got five pads for a quarter, and then five more for a nickel. So Emerson always had a number of pads on which to draw mysterious glass buildings, unrecognizable structures, and maps of countries which existed only in his imagination.

And he was forever dreaming up some idea that would make life easier on the farm. These ideas would be first put to paper, and if he could manage it, put into use, but rarely did any of them amount to a hill of beans.

Take the time he thought if he put plank-like devices on the horses feet in the winter time it would prevent the horses from plunging bellydeep in the snow. Fortunately Father wouldn’t let him near the team, but Emerson was so sure the idea was one of the best he had ever dreamed up that he took his design and tucked it under his bed with his collection of maps and pictures

Invention gets Emerson in hot water

of buildings the likes of which we had never seen before, and thought we never would.

And then one hot summer day he got another spurt of imagination. It happened when we were both swinging on the gate behind the cow byre. The cows were waiting to be put inside to be milked, and the horse flies were as thick as thieves. I felt so sorry for the cows. Their tails weren’t nearly long enough to swat the flies off their front parts, so I would often stand with a leafy branch and swish it over their backs chasing away these dreadful flies, which I hated with a passion. I was lamenting to Emerson that the horse flies even followed the cows into the barn. And I commented that once I started to milk I had to forgo chasing away the flies.

Emerson hung most of his body over the link fence. Not a muscle in his entire form was moving. He always went like that when he was thinking, sort of like being in a trance it was.

That night while the rest of us sat looking at the Eaton’s catalogue at the kitchen table, Emerson was in a corner with his pad of graph paper. No one paid any attention to him -- this

was the way he spent many an hour.

But the next day he took me into his confidence. I should have known better. The only time he ever confided in me about something as private as an invention was when he needed help. He had been working in the drive shed for most of the morning, and when he came out he searched the barnyard to make sure no one was in sight. He had two long poles, cleaned off branches really, off the lowest part of the big maple in our front yard, and an armful of binder twine. He beckoned me to come with him behind the cow byre.

“If this works, I’ll make a fortune,” he said.

“See if you can sidle up to that cow over there.”

Now, I know why I was taken into his confidence. Most of the cows were pets to me, and I had no trouble getting old Bossy to stand still.

Emerson approached her rear end slowly with the two poles and the binder twine. Bossy was swishing her tail like mad. Emerson had to make two or three grabs before he got a hold of it. I was feeding hay into her mouth on Emerson’s orders. He placed the two hefty limbs along each side of the tail and very quickly wrapped the binder twine around them because Bossy was beginning to wonder what was going on at her other end. When he had it secured, by wrapping some binder twine around her back legs, he dusted off his hands and said, “Now when she swishes her tail, it will reach farther and if my design is correct, she will kill the horse flies

Villagefest in Stittsville on Sept. 13 Special to the News

News - Letters seeking financial donations for Villagefest 2014 are now being sent out to the business community of Stittsville by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) committee planning this year’s event.

It will feature entertainment playing in front of the station building at Village Square

on contact.” He added, he would only try it out on one cow to see how it worked.

Now, under ordinary circumstances nothing would have come of this exercise, and it would have gone the way of all Emerson’s inventions.

But that evening Father was late coming in from the fields. We brought the cows inside in a hurry, and he went right at the milking. It was almost dark in the barn, as he positioned the stool at Bossy’s full udder, but you didn’t need much light to milk. Father was a scant foot from this weapon Bossy had attached to her tail. The horse flies loved the dank heat of the barn and the place was buzzing. Emerson was standing at the barn door, which now I realized was very fortunate for him. Bossy’s tail was moving ever so slightly, and then one of the flies must have really done some damage, because that contraption Emerson had attached to her came around her rear end with a “why won’t ya” and connected with the side of Father’s head with such a whack that it knocked him off the stool and sent the milk flying. Father just sat there for several seconds trying to figure out what hit him. Then he got up and slowly made his way towards Bossy’s tail. He stood for the longest time looking at the two branches and the binder twine that he hadn’t noticed before. He let one roar out of him ordering Emerson to get in there at once. I turned to the door where Emerson had been standing. All I saw was our barn cat licking her paws and lapping at the spilt milk.

Steak with red onion, sweet peppers, sweet potatoes perfect for barbecue Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Lifestyle - New Zealanders love their beef as much as their lamb. Here is a popular recipe using a dry rub to flavour the steak, which is then served over a base of herb-grilled sweet potatoes, sweet peppers and topped with grilled onion. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Refrigeration time: one to 24 hours. Grilling time: 12 to 18 minutes. Serves four.

Ingredients Steak rub * 15 ml (1 tbsp) each packed brown sugar and salt * 10 ml (2 tsp) each garlic powder, paprika and dried thyme * 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) chili powder * 5 ml (1 tsp) smoked paprika or chipotle powder * 2ml (1/2 tsp) each dry mustard and coarsely ground black pepper * 4 beef tenderloin or rib-eye steaks (about 175g/6 oz and two centimetres/3/4-inch thick) * 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil * 5 ml (1 tsp) finely chopped fresh rosemary * 1 clove garlic, minced * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) seasoning salt * 1 to 2 large sweet potatoes * 2 sweet peppers (1 red, 1 yellow or or-

ange) * 1 large red onion, sliced into thick rings * 20 ml (4 tsp) vegetable oil for brushing Preparation Steak rub: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, salt, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, chili powder, smoked paprika, mustard and pepper. Press the rub generously onto both sides of steaks and place them on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

In a medium bowl, mix together the olive oil, rosemary, garlic and seasoning salt. Peel and slice the sweet potato crosswise, about one centimetre (1/4 inch) thick and toss in the rosemary oil to coat well. Cut each pepper into four wedges. Slice the onion one centimetre (1/4 inch) thick. Place the sweet potatoes, peppers and onions on a greased grill over high heat.

Grill the vegetables covered for three to four minutes or until they’re tender, turning occasionally. Place the sweet potatoes, peppers and onions in separate bowls. Keep the vegetables warm. Reduce the grill heat to medium-high and grill the steaks for about four to five minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached. On each plate, place several slices of sweet potato, a wedge of each pepper, and a steak, which can be topped with onions. Garnish with rosemary, if desired.

54 Stittsville News - Thursday, July 24, 2014

Special to the News

News - Ecology Ottawa is hosting a public information session in Stittsville about the risks involved with TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline project.

This project involves the conversion of a natural gas pipeline that passes just west of Stittsville into an oil pipeline.

This public information session will be taking place on Tuesday, July 29 starting at 7 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville.

At this public information session, Ben Powless of the environmental group Ecology Ottawa and others will present information about this proposed Energy East pipeline project.

Concerns about the project include the threats that the pipeline poses for local residents, waterways and ecosystems as well as affecting First Nations rights and climate change.

Among the speakers at the information session will be Stittsville resident Ayah Stretch who points out that the pipeline issue hits close to home for her and many others in the community.

“If a spill were to occur, our health will be at risk,” she says.

“After the massive opposition to Northern Gateway and Keystone, Ottawa now finds itself joining communities across the continent who reject the risks of pipeline spills and climate change and who are working for a clean energy future, Ms. Stretch points out.

Mike Fletcher of Munster, a volunteer with Ecology Ottawa, points out that over 5,000 people across the city of Ottawa have already signed a petition to keep the pipeline away from the city.

“People from Kanata to Kitchissippi to Kemptville have said they think this is a bad idea, so we want to have this session to talk

to local residents about what this pipeline is about and how we intend to stop it,” says Mr. Fletcher.

All members of the public are welcome to attend this public information session. Following the presentation, community members will be able to participate in a discussion on how local residents can make their voices heard about the project.

This meeting in Stittsville is part of a series of information sessions which Ecology Ottawa is hosting in the area this summer.

The proposed Energy East pipeline project will be able to carry up to 1.1 million barrels of oil from Alberta to New Brunswick. The project involves converting 3,000 kilometers of natural gas pipeline to carry oil, while constructing 1,500 kilometers of new pipeline from Cornwall east to the Maritimes.

TransCanada, proponent of the project, in a presentation to the Stittsville Village Association executive at its June meeting, gave the age of the existing natural gas pipeline which will be converted to an oil pipeline as being installed in the 2005-2006 time frame. Ecology Ottawa claims that the pipeline is 55 years old.

A new pumping station for the converted oil pipeline will be required in the Stittsville area, although its final location is still to be confirmed

by TransCanada.

TransCanada promises to develop an Emergency Response Plan in accordance with federal regulations.

It will be developed in consultation with local emergency service agencies. In addition, specialized oil spill equipment will be stored strategically along the pipeline.

TransCanada says that the pipeline system will be monitored 24/7 and that in the event of a leak, the pipeline can be shut down within minutes.

‘Concert in the Park’ at Village Square in Stittsville is happening on Aug. 14 Special to the News

News - There will be music in Village Square Park in Stittsville again this summer thanks to Waste Management and its sponsorship of a “Concerts in the Park” program with the city of Ottawa.

This year’s “Concerts in the Park” program will see the group “Serious Fun” performing at Village Square Park on Thursday, Aug. 14.

This one and a half hour free concert starting at 7 p.m. will be preceded by a BBQ to raise funds for local youth initiatives.

In addition, donations for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) will be collected at the concert.

Besides this concert at Village Square Park, this year’s “Concerts in the Park” series will see two concerts held at

the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond and four concerts held at Fitzroy Provincial Park in West Carleton.

The concerts at the Richmond fairgrounds will happen on Thursday, July 31 with the band “Sidewinder” and on Thursday, Aug. 7 with the group “Ambush.”

All of these concerts are free thanks to the sponsorship of Waste Management.
