be able to donate to the Terry Fox Run. Acceptable items include TV’s, computers, monitors, computer towers, keyboards, printers, stereos, stereo equipment, electric fireplaces and cell phones – virtually anything electronic. Larger appliances will not be accepted because they take up so much room in the Capital Junk trucks and would thus restrict the total number of items that could be collected at this event. Besides donating all of the funds received from the recycling of these ewaste items to the Terry Fox Run, Capital Junk will be setting up a table at the dropoff day location where people can make their own monetary donations for Capital Junk’s Terry Fox Run fundraising effort if they so wish. Capital Junk has set a goal of $5,000 for its fundraising for this year’s Terry Fox Run which happens on Sunday, Sept. 16. That’s why it would like to see as big a turnout as possible to this free e-waste drop-off day in Stittsville.
EMC news - Labour Day this coming Monday, Sept. 3 will be living up to its name for seven local youth. That’s because they will not be relaxing and leisurely passing the time on this last holiday of the summer vacation before school resumes. Rather, they will be working, albeit for a good cause, as they fundraise for the Humane Society by holding bake sales at three different Stittsville locations. The seven youth who are all friends are Caroline Frost, 12; Rebecca Frost, 14; Jasmine Paoloni, 12; Justin Paoloni, 15; Shanice Baird, 14; Rochelle Moore, 14; and Erin Husband, 14. Their bake sales will be held at Par-La-Ville Park just north of Maple Grove Road in the Fairwinds subdivision; at Bryanston Gate Park on Alon Street in the Bryanston Gate subdivision; and at the spot along the Trans Canada Trail on Abbott Street near the Granite Ridge Drive intersection where people take their dogs for walks. These bake sales will be held from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at each of these locations this coming Monday, Sept. 3, which is Labour Day. And there’s going to be lots of baked goodies available as the seven youth have been hard at work lately making the baked goods as well as signs to publicize each location. The baked goods being sold at each location will include cookies, rice krispie squares, whole banana breads (not slices) and brownies.

EMC news - Is there a new computer or printer in your home as a result of a Back-to-School shopping spree? What about the old one? Is it stuck in a corner somewhere? Now, you can kill two birds with one electronic device, as it were, by taking your old computer, printer or other electronic device to a free e-waste drop-off day that is happening in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 8. You will not only be able to dispose of all of your old electronic equipment and devices for free at a convenient local drop-off but also you will be helping support this year’s Terry Fox Run as well. That’s because Capital Junk, which is hosting this free e-waste drop-off day in Stittsville, will be donating all of the proceeds which it receives from taking the materials to the appropriate recycling facilities throughout the city to this year’s Terry Fox Run which raises funds to combat cancer.
So, everybody wins – you get rid of your unwanted e-waste for free and the Terry Fox Run receives funds from the recycling of this e-waste. And the e-waste is properly recycled as well. This free e-waste drop-off day will be held on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the parking lot at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street, right beside the Stittsville post office. Capital Junk has previously held free e-waste drop-off days in the parking lot at the Home Furniture store across the street from the Community Bible Church but now that Home Furniture is closed and has gone into receivership, that parking lot is not available. But the Community Bible Church has graciously agreed to have its parking lot used for this event. At this free e-waste drop-off day on Saturday, Sept. 8, Capital Junk will be accepting electronic waste from both homeowners and businesses without any limit on the number or amount. That’s because the more that can be collected and recycled, then the more that Capital Junk will

Food Basics opens John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Green feather-like promotional signs lined both Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive. Music from the intriguingly-named Shungabunga trio floated over the parking lot while also broadcast in the store. Green and white balloons floated above the check-out cashier areas. Tasty trays of hors d’oeuvre-type goodies were carried around the store and being offered to customers to sample. Store manager Warren Monk was at the main sliding entrance door, welcoming shoppers. And even Mother Nature was onside, offering up a morning with a blue, cloudless sky and
warm sunshine. Yes, the official grand opening of the new Food Basics store in the developing shopping area at the northeast corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive on Wednesday, Aug. 22 had lots of planned glitz and glamour along with Mother Nature’s contribution as well as the buzz and excitement generated by a steady stream of curious, excited, smiling first-day shoppers. Indeed, store manager Warren Monk opened up the doors earlier than the publicized 8 a.m. opening because a crowd was forming and people were anxious to experience the new store. See NEW, page 3

New Food Basics has focus on pricing, service Continued from page 2
So, even before 8 a.m., customers, having completed their inaugural shopping experience at the store, were leaving the store with their purchases and with smiles on their faces. “We are pleased to bring another Food Basics store to the Ottawa area and offer low prices to quality conscious shoppers,” said Mr. Monk as he extolled Food Basics everyday low prices. This focus on discount prices even makes its appearance in the store’s name signage where the last “s” in “Basics” is created like a dollar sign, a reminder of the store’s commitment to saving customers money. This new Food Basics, which is employing a staff of 120, held an employee appreciation and family night on Tuesday, Aug. 21, the evening before the grand opening, where all the staff received a personal gift package. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was a
special guest at this special evening. Staff at this new store experienced four weeks of training prior to the opening, including some cashier training at the Food Basics store in Kanata. Johanne Choiniere, senior vice-president of Metro Ontario, who was at the grand opening, noted that this is the eighth Food Basics store to open in the Ottawa area. Food Basics is the discount banner of Metro Ontario Inc. with currently more than 110 stores across Ontario. There are also over 150 Metro stores in the province. She explained that this location was selected for this newest Food Basics store because of the growth that is happening in the western part of the city of Ottawa and particularly in Stittsville. She noted that with no discount grocery store in Stittsville, there is great growth potential for Food Basics in the community. Ms. Choiniere said that Food Basics has two private
label brands that are competition for well known national brands which are also stocked at the store. The private label brands are particularly appealing to the price conscious because they offer quality but also lower prices. She also said that Food Basics offers the full shopping experience, ranging from produce to meat to bakery to groceries. You can buy anything at a Food Basics store, you don’t have to go elsewhere, she said. And while she emphasized
discount pricing, she said that a Food Basics store like this new one in Stittsville also offers service provided by great staff. “The price doesn’t come as a compromise for service,” she said, noting that the store will be open seven days a week to 10 p.m. It will open at 8 a.m. on every day except Saturdays when the doors will open at 7 a.m. This new 35,000 square foot Food Basics store follows the latest blueprint for such stores, featuring bright light-
ing, easy-to-navigate wide aisles and the latest in design and layout concepts. Ms. Choiniere said that experience has taught Metro and Food Basics what customers are looking for in terms of shopping experience and the 35,000 square foot format allows Food Basics to provide these features. There are eight check-out cashes at this new store. Food Basics saves money for customers by carrying only the best selling brands and products complemented
by low priced products. The use of simple fixtures and displays help lower costs while Food Basics also buys directly from suppliers in large quantities. All of this is a recipe for lower costs and as a result lower prices for customers. The Food Basics logo, as emblazoned on the front of this new store, is “Always more for less!” Food Basics has been following this credo since it was created as the discount banner of Metro Ontario Inc. in 1995.

Hydro Ottawa Rooftop Rent Diverted to Charity
Your Community Newspaper
Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa, and Terry Matthews, Chairman of Brookstreet, atop the hotel’s roof.
A strong communications network is an integral element of the smart electricity grid that Hydro Ottawa is building throughout its service territory. As part of its network, Hydro Ottawa has a communications antenna atop the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. With an excellent location, height and clear line of sight, the Brookstreet Hotel’s 18-storey rooftop is sought after for communications equipment installation by local companies. Hydro Ottawa is one of five commercial tenants on the rooftop of the hotel. Renting its rooftop to other companies is more than a commercial venture for Brookstreet – it is also an opportunity to contribute to the community. Brookstreet is allocating $5,000 of its annual rooftop rent to support the hotel’s 10th Anniversary Lumière Charity Gala. “We are very excited that Brookstreet will once again be supporting local charities through the Lumière Charity Gala event,” said Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This is a great event that directly benefits the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation.”
Special to the News
EMC news - A rookie in the show ring brought home several honours to Stittsville last Sunday, Aug. 26. In fact, this rookie, a female English Springer Spaniel bearing the formal name of “Bryden’s Pretty Woman” and an everyday name of Ashley, was not the only rookie from Stittsville in the show ring. There with her, on one occasion, was her Canadian Kennel Club registered co-owner Deborah Brummell who, like Ashley, was making her first foray into the show ring. Ashley’s other appearances in the ring were under the guidance of co-owner and trainer David Swartwood. But, boy, did Ashley ever perform as a veteran, bringing home three honours from the show: she was first in her class; she was reserve champion female; and she was “Best Puppy in Breed.” For a young dog who has never been in the show ring before to capture these honours is exceptional and made its owners, Deborah Brummell of Stittsville and co-owner and trainer David Swartwood of Bryden’s Kennels at Gananoque, very proud of Ashley’s achievements. Ashley took part in the English Springer Club of Canada portion of the 2012 National Specialty Dog Show which was staged at Long Sault last Sunday, Aug. 26. A liver and white coloured female English Springer Spaniel, Ashley was shown in the age six months to nine months category, although she is just barely six months old. At home in Stittsville, Ashley joins Barney, a one and a half year old male black and white English Springer Spaniel, also from Bryden’s Kennels. Barney, unlike Ashley, has not and will not be enter-

Deborah Brummell of Stittsville, with her dog Ashley aka Bryden’s Pretty Woman, a liver and white female English Springer Spaniel, holds two ribbons which Ashley won in the English Springer Club of Canada portion of the 2012 National Specialty Dog Show which was held at Long Sault last Sunday, Aug. 26. ing the show ring. English Springer Spaniels are somewhat of a tradition in the Brummell household. A previous one, Beau, who is now deceased, also came from Bryden’s Kennels.
David Swartwood of Bryden’s Kennels is a world renowned trainer and judge of English Springer Spaniels, with over 32 years in the activity. The 2012 National Spe-
cialty Show at Long Sault saw dogs of all breeds competing individually in nine separate rings, with entries from all across Canada and the United States, making this a major dog show.

“At Hydro Ottawa, we believe in acting at all times as a responsible and engaged corporate citizen. We commend Brookstreet for generously giving back to the community,” added Conrad. “We value our relationship with Brookstreet Hotel and are pleased to be associated with them in this effort and in their continued initiatives to reduce energy usage. In the past, Hydro Ottawa awarded Brookstreet with the Companies for Conservation award, an initiative to celebrate the exciting and innovative conservation projects being undertaken by commercial electricity users in Ottawa. The program recognizes local companies or organizations for their conservation leadership.” Hydro Ottawa is a community builder, maintaining one of the safest, most reliable electricity distribution systems in Ontario.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
Merilee Clarke retires; Jayne Tanner continues With three bright and cheerful classrooms, each day at the “Merrily We Go” Preschool includes one hour of unstructured playtime during which the children can choose to explore any of the centres such as dress up, painting, trucks, blocks, art, puzzles and more. The second hour is more structured with a snack, craft, gym and story time. For more information about the “Merrily We Go” Preschool, check out the website at www.merrilywego.vpweb. ca. There is also a “Merrily We Go” Preschool Facebook page. In addition, you can call at any time at 613-836-4320.
Special to the News
EMC news - Merilee Clarke has said goodbye to the “Merrily We Go” Preschool in Stittsville after 20 years of teaching there. She began working with preschool children over 20 years ago through involvement with the then-township of Goulbourn, running a Building Blocks Play School program. In 2004, she went on her own as the “Merrily We Go” Preschool, a licensed program. In 2010, she passed over ownership of this preschool to Jayne Tanner who herself has over 15 years experience with preschool children. Merilee continued to be a teacher for Jayne for two more years before deciding this past June to hang up her teaching cap and retire from the “Merrily We Go” Preschool. But her influence as the preschool’s founder and initial teacher will continue as it goes forward. Merilee is also very much still a teacher in the community, as she continues her teaching at the Stittsville KUMON Centre at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers’ Drug Mart plaza) at 1300 Stittsville Main Street which she and her husband now own and operate. “Merrily We Go” Preschool continues to offer classes for children aged 2 ½ to four years of age. Located at the St. Thomas Anglican
Merilee Clarke Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street, it is licensed by the Ministry of Education. Its philosophy is that children learn best by playing, seeing, touching, tasting, hearing and doing things on their own. Children, it is believed at “Merrily We Go” Preschool, learn best where they feel accepted for who they are and for what they want to be. With two teachers and a duty parent at the preschool every day, there is a great ratio of one adult to every four children on the premises. The curriculum is based on a letter each week with a different colour prevailing each month. Reading and math readiness skills are taught each day in a fun, creative way, helping to prepare the children for kindergarten.
Registration for the fall 2012 session at the “Merrily We Go” Preschool is now underway and will continue until all places are filled. At the “Merrily We Go” Preschool, each child is recognized for having unique talents, learning style and personality. The Preschool’s qualified Early Childhood Educator teachers are committed to working within each child’s comfort zone to ensure optimal social, emotional and educational results. There are classes offered for two and a half year to three year olds and also for three and four year olds. R0011250229

Opportunity to speak with the Minister of the Environment On Aug. 21st, I along with General Manager of Environmental Services Dixon Weir, Environment Committee Chair Maria MacRae and Councillor Wilkinson, had the opportunity to meet with the Hon. Jim Bradley, Minister of the Environment. This forum was presented to us through the recent Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) conference. AMO is a non-profit organization representing almost all of Ontario’s 444 municipal governments and provides a variety of services and products to members and non-members.
HAZELDEAN FAMILY DENTAL CENTRE
During my discussion with the Minister I was able to share my thoughts on what we as a community can do together with the government’s assistance in managing, conserving, and reducing waste in our environment. With the accelerated use of natural resources, increased production, and spreading urbanization, the result is more waste and pollution. These steadily increasing demands on the environment require innovative thinking, especially for our waste stream, and that is one of the key topics in my briefing to Minister Bradley.
Your Partners in Oral Health Comprehensive Dental Care
I have requested to meet with Minister Bradley in the near future to discuss these issues further, especially the issue of our waste stream. The briefing notes that I have presented to the Minister at AMO will be posted on my web site www. shadqadri.com for your review.

Bake sales on Labour Day Continued from page 1
There will also be juice and lemonade available at each location. Prices for these baked goods will range from 50 cents for the smaller items to five dollars for items like the whole banana breads. All of the funds raised will be donated to the Humane Society, an organization that is near and dear to the heart of Caroline Frost who first began Labour Day fundraising for the Humane Society four years ago, starting with a lemonade stand and a few baked goods. The first such effort raised about $20. The funds raised grew to about $50 the next year and then last year, when more of her friends got involved and two different neighbourhood venues were used, almost $150 was raised for the Humane Society. This year Caroline is hopeful that this year’s bake sales will be even more successful thanks
to better advanced planning including a written out plan, thanks to the experience from the past years that has shown what items sell best and thanks to proper coordination, signage and hard work. Caroline has both a cat and dog who are rescued pets obtained through the Humane Society, which is why she is such a supporter of the organization. Farley, a golden retriever who is now ten years old, came from the Humane Society when he was only eight months old. Ernie, her cat, also came from the Humane Society as a rescued pet. Now, with the baking being done and the plans for each of the three bake sale sites in place, these seven youth hope that many in the community will come out and support them at these bake sales this coming Monday, Sept. 3, Labour Day, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and help them raise as much money as possible in support of the Humane Society.

This monitoring will continue through the fall. “Simple monitoring of surface water levels, wet/dry landmarks and local rainfall amounts helps us better understand how the wetland responds to periods of low water and rain when we do get it,� says Alyson Symon, facilitator of the monitoring program for MVC. “It will be interesting to see the seasonal changes as well,� she adds. The analysis of seasonal changes and wetland behaviour requires long term data collection. This has been possible for the Upper Poole Creek Wetland only because
of the effort of the volunteers involved. All of the data collected will be compiled in a yearly summary by MVC staff. Indeed, MVC staff will be on hand at the upcoming Stittsville Villagefest event on Saturday, Sept. 29 to talk about the data collected to date as well as the monitoring program in general. This year data on Poole Creek itself was also collected as part of “Check Your Watershed Day� in the Carp River watershed as part of a partnership effort involving MVC, the Friends of the Carp River and the Kanata Youth Haven.

Wetland monitoring program evolved this spring from community concerns which were expressed about low water levels in the wetland late last summer and early fall. This wetland is readily observed from a lookout post along the Trans Canada Trail just west of Stittsville. This monitoring program for the Upper Poole Creek Wetland is an ongoing initiative and new volunteers are always welcome. For more information about the program and volunteer possibilities, please contact MVC watershed planner Alyson Symon at 613-259-2421, ext. 227 or via email at asymon@ mvc.on.ca.

EMC news - Snow may seem like a long way away but snow is going to be a part of the ongoing monitoring program now underway for the Upper Poole Creek Wetland just west of Stittsville. This monitoring program will continue year round with a local snow course to provide winter snowfall data in the wetland. A snow course is a series of stakes in a deďŹ ned area where snow depth and water contest is measured twice a month. This new snow course in the Upper Poole Creek Wetland will be one of 16 such snow courses across the Mississippi Valley watershed monitored by the Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) as part of its ood forecasting and warning program. While this snow monitoring in the winter is still to come, monitoring of water levels in the Upper Poole Creek Wetland is still going on since being implemented last spring. This monitoring has continued even though surface water levels in the Upper Poole Creek Wetland are virtually non-existent as they are throughout much of the Mississippi Valley watershed and beyond throughout the province in light of the drought conditions that have prevailed this summer. Even in these times of low rainfall, volunteers were out in the watershed on a weekly basis, observing the wildlife. Since May, though, a group of local volunteers has been monitoring the Upper Poole Creek Wetland even though equipment was vandalized and rainfall has been sparse.

Motorists must be mindful as students return to class
W
hile our politicians talk about putting students first with controversial legislation proposals, we can all do our part for young people when motorists begin seeing a lot of yellow starting next week. Fleets of school buses will flood our streets as children return to elementary and high schools. Most schools welcome students back the day after Labour Day, Sept. 4, but the
French public and Catholic boards open a week earlier. The colour yellow in motorist’s language always translates to one word: caution. Motorists must keep their eyes open for children waiting on street corners. Kids will be kids, which usually means they are in constant motion. We must always remember the first rule of defensive driving: expect the unexpected.
The colour yellow in motorist’s language always translates to one word: caution. Children tend to offer a lot of unexpected behaviour, which occasionally involves a mad dash across the street chasing a ball or friend waiting at a bus stop. Drivers would do well to drive a little more slowly the first few weeks of September.
They might also want to reacquaint themselves with the rules of driving when approaching a stopped school bus with its lights flashing. The flashing lights mean cars must come to a halt to allow children to board the bus. It also allows children and
parents to safely cross the street. By law, traffic in both directions must stop anytime a school bus is stopped with its overhead alternating signal lights flashing. If the danger of hitting a child with your vehicle isn’t reason enough, failing to stop for a school bus can result in a $400 to $2,000 fine upon conviction and six demerit points given to a motorist’s driver’s license. And that’s only for a first
conviction. Each subsequent offence can result in fines ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 together with six demerit points and possible imprisonment up to six months. Staying alert while behind the wheel and being aware of the rules of the road governing school buses is everyone’s responsibility. We’re all winners if we educate ourselves about the rules of the road and school bus safety.

Maybe the mall is worth saving CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
W
e expect shock and dismay when a place like Westboro Sports closes – a family-owned business with 48 years of close connection to the community; or when the beloved Newport Restaurant announces that it will downsize and clear out of its historic location. But we don’t expect shock and dismay when a shopping centre passes. After all, we associate malls with chain ownership, chain food and with the squeezing out of local businesses. But look at what happened when the roof fell in on a shopping centre in the town of Elliott Lake, forcing the mall to close. The mall building contained 60 per cent of local businesses, as well as the library and some government offices. As reported in the Globe and Mail, the community is stunned and saddened. “People have no place to go,� said one local woman. “That was their favourite place to be. They liked to hang out there in the mall. That’s just how people were.� With all the sentimental attachment we have toward the small independent business of years gone by, we shouldn’t forget that it’s possible to get sentimental about shopping centres, too. After all, they have been with us for four or five decades. And for a lot of neighborhoods, not to mention smaller communities, the local shopping centre is the closest thing they have to a main street. Take a careful look the next time you’re in Carlingwood or Billings Bridge or St. Laurent or Westgate. People use those places for more than shopping. They meet their friends, they have lunch, they have coffee, they take power walks.
Mostly, they hang out. Older people hang out, teenagers hang out. You should never underestimate the importance of hanging out. Top-level hanging out enhances our quality of life. Sure, some of us wish the hanging out was in the open air. Some of us wish the open air was on open streets filled with locally-owned shops. But that doesn’t seem to be what has been happening since the first shopping centres were invented. Looking down the road a few years, when the current shopping centres wears out, we can anticipate a wave of nostalgia. “Remember when we used to park on the second deck and take the escalator to the Sports Experts?� people will say, a bit like what they say now about riding their bikes to the malt shop or, driving their large cars, powered by leaded gasoline, to the drive-in movie. Anything can be the subject of nostalgia. There was a movie a few years ago about a woman who pined for the lifestyle of East Berlin, before the wall came down. So it’s no surprise that people in the future will look fondly back on the mall, remembering when there were five jewelry stores, a tax place, a CD store, a video store, a book store. Remember CDs? Remember videos? Remember books? People may even wax nostalgic about the awful and inescapable music coming out of the ceiling. So perhaps the mall is worth saving after all. As Elliott Lake’s plight demonstrates, the mall’s importance grows in a cold climate. Since, despite everything, we still have a cold climate, it may be time to stop lamenting the mall. By coming to terms with it we have an opportunity to campaign for changes that will mall life more interesting. It goes without saying that more local stores and eating places would help, but the changes can go beyond that. Elliott Lake’s idea of a library in a mall is brilliant. Sunday markets in those vast parking lots might be popular. Small performance spaces and exhibit spaces for local artists and musicians would enhance the shopping centre experience and benefit the community. After all, if Tunney’s Pasture can be humanized, anything is possible.

Councillor in shorts wins VIP plowing competition John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It was a sunny, warm, cloudless day, so maybe the shorts helped. Who knows but city of Ottawa West Carleton-March ward councillor Eli El-Chan-
tiry was the only one to plow wearing shorts and he ended up winning the VIP plowing competition at this year’s Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match at the Brophy farm on Brophy Drive between Twin Elm Road and Moodie Drive east of Richmond.
Ottawa Carleton new Queen of the Furrow Karen Edwards finished second in the VIP plowing which took place at the plowing match site at noon last Friday, Aug. 24, with the competitive plowing taking place the next day, Saturday, Aug. 25.
City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson placed third in the VIP plowing which was judged by Allen Hills and Ron Stinson. Among others who participated in the VIP plowing competition this year were Brian Coburn, former mayor of Cumberland township and
now a citizenship judge who won last year’s VIP plowing competition; Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre; 2011 Ottawa Carleton Queen of the Furrow Sara McFadden; city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt; and city of Ottawa Osgoode ward councillor Doug Thompson. The VIP plowing was done using a tractor and a Massey Harris two furrow trail antique class plow which is the
plow of choice, as it were, in antique plowing classes. The VIP plowers were assisted in their plowing by Jean-Marc Dessaint of Sarsfield, who hosted last year’s Ottawa Carleton plowing match at his farm, and Robert MacPherson of Kanata. Richard McDonald of Manotick, a regional director for the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association, was in charge of the VIP plowing competition for this year’s match.

EMC news - This year’s Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match last Friday and Saturday happened on farmland that has been in the Brophy name for over a century. It was around 1850 that Patrick Brophy, a 52 year old tenant farmer from Ireland and his 49 year old wife Margaret Fogerty, decided to come to Canada in search of a better life with their three sons, Joseph, Michael and Patrick, all in their 20’s at that time. Patrick unfortunately died on the voyage to Canada but Margaret and the three sons settled on a farm in Nepean on the Jock River on what is now called Moodie Drive. All three sons ended up acquiring 100 acre farms with Joseph in 1891 gaining possession of 100 acres located between Moodie Drive and Twin Elm Road. Joseph Brophy had married Bridget Madden in 1867 and they had ten children, one of whom, Ambrose, was the grandfather of the present owners of the Brophy farm which was the site of this year’s plowing match. Ambrose ended up owning all of the Brophy acerage, some 300 acres, by 1915. He had married Louise Daly in 1902 and they had 12 children. Two of the children, Emery and Wilbert, became owners of the 300 acre Brophy farm in the 1930’s. When Emery married Margaret Scissons in 1946, the farm was split in two and a house was moved from Woodroffe Avenue to the farm. Margaret and Emery and their six children lived in this house for 45 years. The house was demolished in the early 1990’s to make way for a new house built by their youngest son. In recognition of the generations of the Brophy family in the area, the road on which the Brophy farm faces was renamed Brophy Drive in 1992.

Funds for Snowsuit Fund collected at horse shows John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Last Saturday, Aug. 25 marked just four months to Christmas Day, Dec. 25. And while hot, sunny weather prevailed for the silver and bronze level horse shows that were hosted at the Fiddler’s Green Stables just outside Stittsville not only on the Saturday but also on the Sunday, snow and winter were part of the mix as well, as once again this year, for the second straight year, funds were collected at this two-day horse show for The Snowsuit Fund. This is an Ottawa-based charity that purchases and
distributes snowsuits to needy children 15 years of age and under in the community. In the 2011-2012 winter season, The Snowsuit Fund distributed over 15,000 snowsuits to children who would otherwise not have such warm winter clothing. And, since this was a horse show, the funds collected for The Snowsuit Fund were gathered up in a most appropriate, albeit unique, way. Donations were collected by volunteers walking around the grounds at certain times leading one of the Fiddler’s Green Stables ponies. Those who donated five dollars or more not only got the satisfaction of helping out The Snowsuit Fund but also
became eligible for a draw for a gift basket donated by Greenhawk, a supplier to the equine industry. Several rings were set up at Fiddler’s Green Stables for these horse shows. The hot, sunny conditions made water a much-desired commodity, both for the horses as well as the riders and spectators. Tents were set up beside the rings to provide some shaded viewing areas for spectators. Fiddler’s Green Stables, which has over 36 years in the equestrian industry, has attracted numerous sponsors which help out in staging these annual horse shows. Major sponsors this year included Ram trucks and 5-Span Feed and Seed of Pakenham.

‘Come Try Ringette” sessions at GRC on Sept. 8 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC sports - The sport of ringette marks its 50th anniversary year in 2013 as the game was introduced by Sam Jacks in North Bay in 1963. Since then, ringette has spread to other countries such as Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Russia and the United States, although Canada still has the largest number of ringette players with over 50,000 playing the
game. But efforts continue to grow the sport and introduce this on-ice team sport to more players. That’s why the West Ottawa Ringette Association is holding a pair of “Come Try Ringette” sessions at the new ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Saturday, Sept. 8. They are an opportunity for anyone to try out the sport and find out what it’s all about. There will be a “Come Try
Ringette” session on Saturday, Sept. 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the new GRC ice pad for those under seven years of age. This will be followed by another “Come Try Ringette” session at 3:30 p.m. for those aged seven and over. Everyone is most welcome to show up and give ringette a whirl. There is no pre-registration required. Those planning to attend just need to take along a pair of skates, gloves and a helmet. The stick will be provided. Bring along a friend
as well if you wish. The more the merrier. Ringette is a fast paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. It in involves six players on each team on the ice at any one time. Players are not permitted to carry the “ring” (ringette’s alternative to a puck and hence the sport’s name ringette) over the two blue lines. The ring can be advanced over a blue line only by passing it to another player.

Ringette is related to ice hockey in equipment and playing surface but differs in rules and approach to the game. In ringette, the challenge is to catch or “stab” the ring. To catch the ring, a player must stab through the hole in the ring with the bladeless stick, usually while the player is on the move. Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck but the blueline rules force more passing. That’s why ringette is a game where skating and passing are paramount and where teamwork is a focus. Canadian championships in ringette are held annually as has been the case since 1979. The sport is also played in universities and is a sport at the Canada Winter Games. The West Ottawa Ringette Association offers both recreational and competitive programs for players from ages 4 to 18, ranging from learn-toskate Bunny programs to provincial ‘AA’ teams. League play runs from early October through to the end of March. Beginning players under the age of 7 start in the Bunny program which is a learn-toskate program that also teaches basic ringette skills. They
do not play games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other associations. The home arenas for the West Ottawa Ringette Association include rinks in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. “Away” games came take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau. Online registration for the 2012-2013 season is now open and available on the West Ottawa Ringette Association’s website. Rich Wyatt is president of the West Ottawa Ringette Association for the 2012-2013 season, with Leigh Anne Sinclair as the vice-president. Colleen Moore is the competitive coordinator while Larry Franko is the recreational coordinator. Jen Carroll is the registrar while Shelley Wong is the treasurer. Director of logistics is Bob Lecuyer while Katy Wilker is the director of administration. Peter Hache is a director at large while Lorraine Douglas is the secretary.

Church service goes to the dogs John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Richmond went to the dogs last Sunday - literally. While it was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blessing of the Animalsâ&#x20AC;? Sunday at the church, it was only dogs who were brought along by their owners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; no cats or other pets
were in evidence. Blue skies and warm weather prevailed for the outdoor service, held in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backyard, complete with an altar table with a cross and a keyboard played by the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir director David George. Chairs were assembled for the congregation which numbered about 40 on this late August morning.
While Oct. 4 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, who is the patron saint of animals, the environment and ecology in general, St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church held this firstever blessing of the animals event at the church on this warm August morning, allowing the service to be held outside surrounded, as Rev. Carla Van Delen reminded those in

attendance, by nature including birds, trees and, of course, dogs. She called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;the symphony of life.â&#x20AC;? The hope is that this service will become an annual event. And when a couple of dogs barked, chiming in as a hymn was sung to open the service, it was all taken in stride, with Rev. Van Delen welcoming the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;choir membersâ&#x20AC;? of this â&#x20AC;&#x153;choir of all animals.â&#x20AC;? And she showed a similar attitude when one dog got away from its owner during the service but she used the occasion to mark it as a sign of the energy which fills pets. In her reflection, Rev. Van Delen told two stories which reflected the relationship which St. Francis of Assisi had with animals, an example of how everyone is called to build up God-based relationships with neighbours, whether they be human neighbours or non-human ones such as animals and nature itself. She told how St. Francis of Assisi once preached a sermon to the birds when he was moved by the beauty of their song. She also related another story about how St. Francis of Assisi had brought peace between a village and a wolf which was terrifying it by blessing the wolf and establishing a relationship with it. Rev. Van Delen pointed out that people should establish Godly relationships with everything around us in nature,

She said that everything is interwoven all throughout the Bible and people of faith are called to realize and act upon these connections. Pets are special, she noted, because God made them. After her remarks, she blessed each individual dog as it was brought up to her by its handler. Among the dogs at this blessing of the animals service were a Pug â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesterâ&#x20AC;?
and her six nine-day old pups who huddled together in an open box. Following the service, there were not only dog biscuits and water for the dogs but also some appropriatelynamed fellowship treats for the congregation. This included â&#x20AC;&#x153;human doggie biscuitsâ&#x20AC;? which were dipped in chocolate and a unique â&#x20AC;&#x153;kitty litter cakeâ&#x20AC;? which, despite its name, proved to be delicious.

“Tori’s Garden,” located at the Canadian Golf and Country Club where it is used for wedding ceremonies and wedding photography, features a pond, flowers, a gazebo and a wharf.

This is the plaque in memory of Tori Carswell which is in a flower bed at “Tori’s Garden” at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville.
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
Bailey Bennett, a South Carleton High School student who is working at the Canadian Golf and Country Club this summer, does some maintenance work at a flower bed at “Tori’s Garden.”
Tori’s Garden at Canadian Golf and Country Club Special to the News
when the Canadian Golf and Country Club, which is located near the Dwyer Hill Road west of Stittsville, put up a gazebo near its clubhouse to serve as a site for wedding ceremonies. While it provided a beautiful setting, it was not a very private setting for weddings due to ongoing golfing activities. There were golfers always coming off the course as well as the chatter from people sitting on the patio by the clubhouse. As a result, Mark Seabrook, general manager at the Canadian, decided that he would create a more private spot at the course where people could be married. So, for three years, he developed a pond and sculpted the area around the pond to provide an area where people could sit during a wedding ceremony and also a place ideal for photos of the wedding party and family members afterwards. A gazebo was built and a wharf was put out into the pond. Initially the area was sim-
ply called “the wedding area” which was rather mundane. Gail Vanden Hanenberg of the Events Department at the Canadian wanted to find a new name for this beautiful wedding ceremony site and one day, the name “Tori’s Garden” just came to her. So, while meeting with Paul and Kim Carswell, Tori’s parents, discussing details for the annual Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament, Gail asked Paul and Kim about the possibility of naming the wedding area “Tori’s Garden.” She took them to the site and showed it to them and they agreed to let it be named after Tori. This all happened at the same time that the Canadian Golf and Country Club was celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2010 and was opening its new driving range on Canada Day, July 1st, which would also have been Tori’s 16th birthday. The Carswell family attended a ceremony dedicat-
ing the garden area to Tori, unveiling a plaque at the site and releasing red and white balloons from the wharf. The flower beds in what is now “Tori’s Garden” continue to get more beautiful with each passing year. That’s because the Canadian’s full time gardener Janet Corlett takes great pride in making “Tori’s Garden” a true beauty spot. The area now features a small statue in one of its gardens which was placed there by Tori’s grandparents. In addition, an unknown person has hung a small rainbow wind chime in the area where Tori’s plaque is located. It is interesting to note that Tori’s parents, Paul and Kim Carswell, were themselves married at the Canadian Golf and Country Club back in 1983. Tori Carswell was born in 1994 but she began having back and leg pains after turning five years old. That’s when she was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuroblastoma, just three weeks shy of her sixth
birthday. As a result, she underwent many rounds of chemotherapy, surgery, radiation and a stem cell transplant. In the summer and fall of 2001, the community of Stittsville along with family and friends, rallied around Tori, with over $100,000 raised to assist with medical and travel costs as treatment had to be found outside of Canada. She underwent an experimental type of treatment in New York City. But despite this and other treatments, the spread of the disease could not be halted. After a family Christmas in 2003, her health quickly deteriorated and she passed away on Jan. 16, 2004. Her memory is carried on not only through the annual Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament at the Canadian Golf and Country Club but also through Tori’s Helping Hand which was established in 2005. It is part of the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Support Programs Inc. and provides funds to
palliative care oncology children and their families as well as to families whose children require a transplant. These funds help the families of palliative care children provide much needed comfort in their child’s final days. This comfort might come in the way of a comfortable chair, a spa visit, a puppy or other desired item. This goal of Tori’s Helping Hand was inspired by the community, family and friends fundraising which happened for Tori, enabling her to have some special moments during the last weeks of her life. The Carswell family wanted to help other palliative care oncology children enjoy similar experiences in their final weeks, just like Tori did. The Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament, which was held for the ninth time last Saturday, raises funds for Tori’s Helping Hand. Over $300,000 has been raised by these tourneys s i n c e 2004.

EMC news - The Canadian Golf and Country Club has another connection to Tori Carswell in addition to last Saturday’s annual Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament. It’s Tori’s Garden, a garden area at the course that is used as the site for wedding ceremonies and photographs as well as being a tribute to Tori, the Stittsville youngster whose infectious smile and passion for life captivated the Stittsville community as did the courage and strength that she exhibited throughout her five year battle with cancer that she eventually lost in January 2004. A plaque at the site, which is located just to the west of the tee on the first hole of the Canadian’s west course, identifies it as “Tori’s Garden,” while urging people to enjoy “this beautiful garden in memory of a beautiful girl.” The genesis of this “Tori’s Garden” goes back six years

EMC sports - His goal was to finish in the top 16 players in the under-14 category at the Canadian junior tennis nationals in Mont. Tremblant, Quebec earlier this month. Well, 13 year old Alex Mironov of Stittsville exceeded his goal as he finished 11th in Canada in the field of 40 players. He was seeded as expected in the competition and won five of his seven singles matches but this was not good enough for a top eight placing. He ended up in third place in the second flight, resulting in his 11th overall rating. In doubles play, he and his partner, William Tutecky from Toronto, made it to the final before losing. This gave them second place in Canada in doubles play. And there even was some gold in Alex’s experience at these Canadian junior tennis nationals this year as each player on the Ontario team received a gold medal for the best team results. The Ontario team had 16 girls and 11 boys, including Alex, on it. Alex, who graduated from A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville last June and will be attending grade nine at South Carleton High School in Richmond this fall, went to the Canadian junior tennis nationals competition fresh off a triumph in the Roman Cup which was played in Ottawa from Friday, Aug. 3 to Sunday, Aug. 5 at the Rideau Tennis Club. This tournament is held in memory of Ottawa tennis player Roman Kowalski who passed away five years ago while not yet 20 years old. This annual open tournament raises funds to provide $10,000 in scholarship money to the winners. Alex, who played in the tournament in 2009 but then could not play for the past two

My other August PT job was at NROCRC, located in the Merivale Mall. NROCRC is a community service organization that helps vulnerable individuals and families lead better lives. The services they provide to communities in Nepean, Rideau & Osgoode include: Healthy Babies, Counselling, Youth Programs, Winter Warmth Program, Parenting Workshops, Legal Aid, Violence against Women Services, and much more. In my short time there, I had the pleasure of packing backpacks as a part of their Tools 4 Schools program aimed at giving children in need the proper school supplies. I worked with other NROCRC employees in packing 57 backpacks for high school students. I also learned quite a bit about the Housing Loss Prevention Program, which aims to help those facing possible eviction in Nepean, Rideau or Osgoode. NROCRC’s focus is on crisis intervention and early prevention so that situations like eviction don’t arise. After hearing about a case study, you realize just how important these community organizations are in the lives of many people. In general, I feel we live in a proud society where many of us have difficulty in asking for help. However, when we do need help, it’s nice to know that a place like NROCRC exists where they can provide aid and discretion. To find out more, visit www.nrocrc.org or call 613-596-5626.

Councillor for Hire August brought on a couple of different opportunities for my ongoing series of Councillor for Hire jobs. This most recent month saw me work two part time jobs at Richmond Cooperative Nursery School (RCNS) and at the Nepean Rideau and Osgoode Community Resource Centre (NROCRC). As a parent of children who have recently attended the North Gower Cooperative Nursery School, I was right at home at the RCNS. The school welcomed me with a very nice “Welcome Scott Moffatt” sign outside and my role was essentially that of Duty Parent which involves plenty of playing around with the children, varying in ages from 2-5. The RCNS is located in the basement of the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street and operates programs year round. Cooperative nursery schools are a great place to watch your kids as they grow and learn and in Rideau-Goulbourn, we are blessed to have many of these throughout our ward. Registration is still open for the 2012-13 season and you can find out more by visiting www.rcns.ca.

Living in a rural area brings a different set of perspectives on day to day living, one of which is the thought of an unlocked door being no big deal. Sadly, there are people out there who are taking full advantage of this rural way of life as there has been an increasing amount of incidents involved theft from unlocked cars. Daytime thefts have also occurred in homes with unlocked doors as well. With recent incidents in Manotick, Kars, Richmond, Stonebridge, and Half Moon Bay, I strongly encourage everyone to keep your doors locked to both your home and car. These break and enters have occurred at all hours of the day and regardless of whether or not someone was home. Ottawa Police are working diligently on these recent issues and several arrests have been made, but please continue to be cautious and protect yourselves by locking your doors.

Promote self-confidence in children through sports and martial arts It’s no secret that playing individual and team sports can help children develop social skills and raise self-esteem. There are several classes offered through Ottawa’s Parks Recreation and Cultural Services department that offer these benefits and more for any child looking to learn skills for life.
There is a variety of sports options for adults and children alike through City-wide Sports. Girls ‘n Women and Sport run physical activity programs that promote fun, friendship, skill development, confidence building and fair play values while learning to play in a team setting.
You can review these classes by visiting ottawa.ca/recreationguide.
More than sports
For some, the journey to higher selfesteem begins and ends with martial arts. You can register for a variety of martial arts classes, from the more familiar practices such as Karate and Judo, to the lesser known ones such as Kendo, Capoeira and Aikido Yoseikan. In addition to confidence, martial arts is known to promote physical fitness, discipline, respect and self control. JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
Golf, anyone? Dilan Lutz balances a golf ball on a golf club before playing in the annual Tori Carswell Memorial Golf Tournament at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville last Saturday, Aug. 25.
Participating in sports and exercise can create a supportive environment that acknowledges a child’s skill development and provide positive social relationships with teammates and coaches. Consider ball hockey, basketball or the Saturday morning sports club for a unique team experience.
Not into the sports scene but still want to move? Children can also expand their creative scope and gain confidence in their abilities through Jazz dance; or, improve balance, coordination and self-esteem through Irish dancing. How about Cheerleading for a different kind of team activity?
Fall Classes start soon! Browse online at ottawa.ca/recreation to discover affordable fall and winter programs. Visit your favourite facility where knowledgeable and friendly staff will help you discover your next adventure. You can also call 3-1-1 for more details.

Senator will be guest speaker at Richmond Fair’s opening John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Senator Vern White will be the guest speaker at the official opening ceremony for this year’s Richmond Fair. The former city of Ottawa police chief, who was appointed to the Senate this past February by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, is expected to be joined at the Thursday evening, Sept. 13 opening by city of Ottawa politicians as mayor Jim Watson and various city councillors have been invited to attend by the Richmond Agricultural Society, hosts of the annual Fair. Before becoming city of Ottawa police chief in 2007, Senator White was chief of police for the Durham Regional Police Service. Prior to that, he served 24 years in the ranks of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. This Thursday evening official opening ceremony is not all that is happening that evening at this year’s Richmond Fair. There will be a lawn tractor pull starting at 7 p.m., with about 40 tractors expected to participate. A similar event was planned for the opening night of last year’s Fair but cold, wet weather forced its cancellation. Thursday evening, Sept. 13 will also be toonie night for the midway rides, making it a great time to try out all the rides on this year’s
midway. Also on the Thursday evening of this year’s Fair will be entertainment by “Cool Britannia” happening in the Bavarian Garden tent. Friday evening, Sept. 14 will once again this year feature the ever-popular Demolition Derby, that smash and bang automobile event that always draws a massive crowd. Indeed, people show up so early that a one-man band entertainer will be performing in the Derby ring prior to the event so that those who show up early and are sitting there will have some entertainment to watch and hear. Speaking of entertainment, there is entertainment in the arena on the Friday evening, starting at 8 p.m., with “Honeymoon Suite” and “Alex Ryder” as the headliners. The Richmond Agricultural Society is trying to build up the Saturday evening attractions at the Fair and so this year there will be entertainment on the outdoor stage beginning at 6 p.m. “Brad Scott & Route 29”” will be performing. In addition, a Craz E Crew Stunt Team BMX Bike Show will once again this year be presented in the heavy horse ring. This BMX Bike Show drew a good crowd last year and it is back again this year with its dare-devil acrobatics and maneuvers on the bikes. The Richmond Fair runs from Thursday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 16 this year.
Entries for Richmond Fair parade Special to the News
EMC news - It’s time to start thinking about the annual Richmond Fair. If you are going to attend this annual spectacle which goes along McBean Street from South Carleton High School and then moves along Perth Street in front of the fairgrounds, there is no much to do other than jot down the date and time – Saturday, Sept. 15 at 11 a.m.
But if you are planning to have a float or entry in this year’s parade, you have to start thinking about what it is going to look like. Saturday, Sept. 15 is not that far away now. Businesses, churches, organizations and even individuals are all welcome to participate with a float in the parade. Thousands line the streets to see the parade, so it is great exposure for all the partici-
pants. And it’s also great fun – going along the parade route, waving to folks and just having a good time. For more information about the parade or to register a float, please email richmondfairparade@gmail.com or call the Richmond Fair office at 613838-3420 and leave a message or call Richmond Fair chair Marlene Greene at 613-7943420.

SECOND SECTION Thursday August 30, 2012
Longtime residents looking for traffic light John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - There is no scarcity of lights around the new Walmart at the northwest corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now three sets of traffic signals on roads adjacent to the new mega store. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of street lights too. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lights in the expansive parking lot. But despite all these lights, longtime Fernbank Road residents Lina and Tony Van Doormaal feel that there is a light missing, namely one bank of traffic signals. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bank of lights that would allow them to leave the eastern exit of their circular driveway safely. Right now, although their driveway was extended by the developer of the Walmart complex so that it would line up with the western access road to the Walmart store, forming a four way intersection, the traffic signals put in place only regulate traffic flow along Fernbank Road and from the Walmart access road. There is no traffic light pointed in the direction of their driveway. They had thought that there would be such a light so that they could safely access Fernbank Road and even the Walmart lot across the street. They are particularly concerned because, among other things, they have to turn left out of their driveway and head west along Fernbank Road to pick up their mail at a central spot. In the reconstruction which saw their driveway and boulevard area changed, they lost their mail box as postal officials decided that it was too dangerous for the mail to be dropped off at an individual mail box located so close to a traffic signal. Mrs. Van Doormaal, who has lived and farmed at this location along the Fernbank Road since 1956, points out that if it is considered unsafe for a postal drop-off at their home, then surely it is unsafe as well for vehicles to be pulling out onto Fernbank Road from their driveway in an unregulated manner, without a governing and protective traffic signal. She also points out that things will only get worse with the snows of winter, particularly since the open fields west of the Walmart complex are traditionally known for their blowing snows, a climatic condition which impacts traffic on the adjacent Fernbank Road.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Longtime Fernbank Road residents Lina and Tony Van Doormaal stand at the circular driveway in front of their home which has been reconstructed to line up with the traffic signals governing traffic flow in and out of the new Walmart which has been built across the Fernbank Road. However, there is no traffic light controlling vehicle movements in and out of the Van Doormaal driveway. Mrs. Van Doormaal, who is 85, points out that both she and her husband Tony, who is 89, still drive and that is why they want safe access from their driveway onto the Fernbank Road, safe access that in their view can only be provided by having a traffic signal pointing at their driveway and controlling its vehicular movements. Mr. and Mrs. Van Doormaal used the occasion of the annual Ottawa Carleton Plowing Match last Friday which took place at the Brophy farm on Brophy Drive near Richmond to do some lobbying about their situation to some of the Ottawa politicians who were at the event for the VIP plowing competition. They regularly attend such plowing matches which Tony particularly enjoys. At the match last Friday, they explained the situation to mayor Jim Watson who was unaware of it and also talked with their own ward councillor, Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor
Scott Moffatt who listened to their concerns. The situation regarding the Walmart development and this particular traffic signal situation on Fernbank Road at the Walmart western entrance happens to touch on two municipal wards, with another one nearby. Mr. and Mrs. Van Doormaal, who live on the south side of Fernbank Road, are in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward represented by councillor Moffatt. However, the actual Walmart development on the north side of Fernbank Road is in the Stittsville ward with councillor Shad Qadri. Across Terry Fox Drive from the Walmart development is the Kanata South ward represented by councillor Allan Hubley. Mr. and Mrs. Van Doormaal are hoping that councillor Moffatt will step up and do the right thing in this situation which in their view is to have a traffic signal facing their driveway. Danny Page, a planner with the rural west development review team who is familiar with
the Walmart/Smart Centre file, says that the traffic signals at this location at the Van Doormaal/Walmart intersection now exist in conformity with how the intersection was designed and planned. He said that re-aligning the Van Doormaal driveway to line up with the Walmart access road was a desirable thing to do which made a lot of sense, even if there is no traffic signal facing the Van Doormaal driveway. He says that while the Van Doormaalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s may have thought that such a traffic signal would be installed, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traffic signal experts feel that such a traffic signal for the driveway is not needed. He admitted that it would be unusual to have a traffic signal erected to serve a driveway from a single family home like the Van Doormaalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Having a Walmart mega store and retail area that is eventually going to include a Dollarama and a bank on a site virtually across from their home is something that Mr. and Mrs. Van Doormaal never would have dreamed of back in 1956 when they purchased their rural farm from Mary and Johnny Davidson and started milking its seven cows at that time, taking the milk for pickup to a farm where the Hazeldean Mall is now located. Back in their early years on their farm, they remember how neighbour Clarence Wilson used to watch out his window all day long just to see perhaps five vehicles go by. Now, five vehicles go by almost every minute. Mrs. Van Doormaal admits that Fernbank Road is now not only noisy with all the traffic but also due to the street lights installed with these latest road improvements for the Walmart complex, it is always bright and lit up. She also notes that she has a view from her house of the giant Canadian flag which flies atop a tall flag pole along the Fernbank Road about the middle of the Walmart development. She says that she is now always easily able to see which way the wind is blowing thanks to this giant flag. Mr. and Mrs. Van Doormaal will be celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary in 2013. They both grew up on family farms in their native Holland but emigrated to Canada with the hope of being able to provide an opportunity for their sons to be farmers. Although they have four sons, none has stayed on the farm, although all are enjoying success in their respective individual careers in other fields.

Stittsville’s Adam Chappell is tops in Canada Kevin Chappell Special to the News
EMC sports - Adam Chappell of Stittsville has risen to the top in the sport of freestyle kayaking in Canada. The 19 year old has placed first in the competition on the Gull River at Minden, Ontario to select this year’s five member Canadian
team in freestyle kayaking. It was only two years ago that Adam, then 17, managed to secure a spot as one of two alternates on the men’s team and, as such, he competed in the 2011 World Cup in Germany. This year, at the World Cup again in Germany, Adam was declared the 17th best in the event. Now, with his ranking as the number one
in Canada, Adam hopes to improve his world ranking for 2013. Adam first discovered kayaking in Scouting, receiving his first kayak, a ten foot recreational boat, for Christmas in 2005. He then purchased his own 16 foot lake kayak in 2007 and obtained his first playboat in 2008. Freestyle kayaking is the competitive offshoot of playboating. This branch of kayak-
ing is performed by surfing a standing wave. This type of wave feature allows the kayak to perform trick moves similar to snow boarders, skateboarders, gymnastics and figure skaters but all while remaining in a relatively fixed area. While not yet an Olympic sport, freestyle kayaking was presented as a demonstration sport at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

The winners will proceed to the World Cup in Moscow next June. Sevens is a new format for rugby, with only seven players on each team. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, representing the Hon. Bal Gosal who is Minister of State for Sport, spoke at the event’s opening ceremony last Saturday morning where he announced that the federal government was providing $50,000 in funding for the event through Sport Canada’s Hosting Program…Back in 2004, a committee which included Walter and Donna Foster of Richmond designed a lapel pin
for the Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association. The pin has a green background representing the land. In the centre of the circular pin is a yellow maple leaf representing the Ottawa Carleton area and the fact that plowing happens in the fall as leaves change colour. The plow depicted on the pin is a walking plow. The letter on the pin, “Ottawa Carleton Plowmen’s Association,” is in black lettering. The pins can still be purchased for three dollars each from members of the Plowmen’s Association. The Association’s website can be found at www.ottawaplowmen.com...

Blood donor clinics in September EMC news - Community blood donor clinics are being held in both Stittsville and Richmond in September. A community blood donor clinic held by Canadian Blood Services will be held in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 19 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. A Canadian Blood Services commu-
nity blood donor clinic will be held in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church on Burke Street at the corner of Fortune Street in Richmond on Friday, Sept. 21 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. To book an appointment at either of these community blood donor clinics, please visit www.blood.ca. Every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed
is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment.

Craig Dunbar excited about upcoming Walk john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - He’s a volunteer firefighter in Stittsville where he handles public education. He now also works on staff for the Kidney Foundation where he promotes the fight against kidney disease and helps organize fundraising events. And Craig Dunbar does all of this while he is on the waiting list for a kidney transplant himself and currently is a dialysis patient. He is also involved with the upcoming first-ever Give the Gift of Life Walk that is happening on Sunday, Sept. 9 in Stittsville, raising funds for the Kidney Foundation for its research, advocacy and patient work as well increasing awareness in general about kidney disease and organ donation. He will be at the event as the Kidney Foundation representative. Last year, Craig served as the Ambassador for the Give the Gift of Life Walk staged in Ottawa in which he participated, with his team having raised close to $14,000, the second highest amount in all of Ontario’s Give the Gift of Life Walks. This year he will be participating again in the Ottawa Walk but he will probably switch his participation efforts to the Stittsville Walk next year. He began working on staff for the Kidney Foundation last
spring, leaving his career in facilities management. He did this not only because there are less physical demands in the new job, certainly a plus for someone who is battling kidney disease like himself, but also because he has done so much volunteer work on behalf of the Kidney Foundation that he feels that he can really represent the Foundation well. Because of his situation, he finds that he can speak from the heart about kidney disease. He also loves doing work that he is passionate about – for obvious reasons, given his personal situation. He notes that the Give the Gift of Life Walks in the Eastern Ontario area have expanded from the previous three to seven now including the Sept. 9 one in Stittsville. Indeed, three of the Walks have a special place in Craig’s heart. These include the Stittsville one because this is where he lives. There is also the Ottawa one in which he has been involved for four years now. And then there is a new one in Renfrew this year which is Craig’s hometown and is where many of his family members still live. Craig has great hopes for the Stittsville Give the Gift of Life Walk as a Walk that will become an annual tradition. He feels that this year’s inaugural Walk should be quite an experience for all who participate, not only be-
cause of the Walk itself along Stittsville Main Street but also because of the post-Walk activities. These include a free luncheon thanks to Sobeys in Stittsville as well as a number of fun activities such as an inflatable obstacle course, cotton candy and entertainment by a live band. The Walk itself will start from the Stittsville United Church at 11 a.m. with the luncheon and other fun activities happening at the Stittsville United Church following the 5 kilometer walk which will see walkers go along Stittsville Main Street from Fernbank Road to Papa Sam’s at Beverly Street and then back again to the church. Registration will take place at 10 a.m. or can be done online at www.kidneywalk.ca. Craig’s own experience with kidney disease is not only uniquely heart-wrenching but also is courageous, ranging from a surprising and sudden diagnosis to his involvement with the Kidney Foundation to his strong-willed determination to live a full life despite his battle with kidney disease. Indeed, even though he does dialysis at home six days a week, he is working full time with the Kidney Foundation, is a volunteer firefighter and is still playing sports including slow pitch ball and oldtimers’ hockey. He is not letting kidney disease get him down. He remains on the waiting

list for a kidney transplant. For Craig, his exposure to kidney disease began in May 2007 when the then-newly married husband was about to embark on a career in facilities management. He was a regular fixture in a variety of hockey and softball house leagues while also serving as a volunteer firefighter with Ottawa Fire Services in Stittsville. Things were going great. Who would think that a sprained ankle sustained playing softball would lead to a diagnosis of kidney failure. While using crutches and a cane for two weeks, Craig developed a severe migraine that would not go away. This forced him to visit his family doctor where it was determined that his blood pressure was almost 100 points higher than it should be. Tests indi-

Big, friendly, affectionate and funny. Loves other cats and dogs. He was born in 2007, a young boy to bring you many years of happiness and companionship.
Craig Dunbar cated a problem with his kidney function. It was then off to the Ottawa General Hospital for more testing including more blood work. Tests showed fatal levels of toxins building up in his body. Indeed, his levels were so extreme that there was an initial thought that the samples had been contaminated. But that was not the case. Craig was diagnosed with acute renal failure with no clear reason for the cause. He was admitted to hospital for the first time in his life for treatments to attend to re-start his kidney. But it was not to be. After two days, he was told that he would have to start dialysis. A biopsy on his kidneys revealed not only that Craig suffered from IGA Nephropathy but that his kidneys were damaged beyond repair.
Despite this catastrophic news, Craig remained positive in outlook, resolved to get back to an active lifestyle. He has now gone through five years of living with kidney disease and he still remains positive. Craig did have a kidney transplant three years ago but the transplanted kidney never did function. He remains on the list for a transplant as efforts continue to find a match. He remains on dialysis, fortunately with it being done at home as both he and his wife Heather are trained in the procedure. Home dialysis allows for daily treatment, which keeps his energy levels higher and which reduce some of the side effects which occur for those who undergo dialysis in a hospital setting every two days. These side effects include increased medication, high blood pressure, organ damage and a restricted diet. Craig, with his more frequent home dialysis, has a much more unrestricted diet. Remaining as healthy as possible is important because a transplant will only happen if the recipient, like Craig, is healthy except for the kidney situation. Participants for the Give the Gift of Life Walk for the Kidney Foundation happening in Stittsville on Sunday, Sept. 9 are needed. More information can be found at www.kidneywalk.ca. In addition, more information can be obtained by contacting Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, one of the Stittsville Walk’s coordinators, at 613-836-6847 or Ruth Richardson, the other Stittsville Walk coordinator, at 613-836-8735 or via email at bcuc@storm.ca.

Horseshoes flying at Legion - clink! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Horseshoes were soaring through the air at the Stittsville Legion last Saturday, Aug. 15. It was the wrap up day
for the Legion’s horseshoe league, with teams formed for a day of fun and competition. A BBQ steak lunch enjoyed in the Legion Hall provided a break in the horseshoe action. The clink of horseshoes hitting the steel stake in the sand
box target area could even be hard by those walking past the Legion Hall on the sidewalk as the action took place at the two horseshoe pitches which are located behind the hall. Sunny, warm weather prevailed for this horseshoe event
which featured games that were played to 15 rather than the more usual 21. Scoring in horseshoes happens when a player throws a “ringer” which is good for three points or when a player throws the horseshoe that is
nearest the stake in the sandbox. That’s why there is the saying “Close only counts in horseshoes” because it does. A ringer must completely encircle the stake. Horseshoes can be played by two people or two teams of
two people each. The Legion competition last Saturday featured two player teams, many of them mixed male/female tandems. Horseshoes is believed to have been first played up to 2,000 years ago.

5703 Hazeldean Rd. Stittsville
EMC news - Village Square Park became a photography studio last Saturday afternoon, Aug. 25. It was the site for a photo shoot to provide photographs that will be used to adorn the interior of the new Kiddie Kobbler children’s shoe store that will be opening in the new shopping area at the northeast corner of Huntmar Drive and Hazeldean Road (where the new Food Basics is located) in Stittsville this coming March. Stittsville resident Joanne Rodgers, owner of this new Kiddie Kobbler store who also currently operates the Curves ladies’ fitness studios in Kanata and Barrhaven, wants to decorate the interior of the store with blown-up photographs of children, preferably local children. That’s why she arranged for the photo shoot last Saturday afternoon at Village Square Park where photographer Tiffany Sanford of Vintage T Photography of Carleton Place was on hand, along with ten local youngsters, young sons and daughters of friends and acquaintances. This photo session was to capture summertime scenes while a future session will deal with fall/winter scenes. Having large photographs of local youngsters around the interior of her new Kiddie Kobbler store is Joanne’s idea, as she wants to give the store a sense of community and one way to do this is to feature the photos of local youngsters on the interior walls. The photographs will change twice a year with the seasons. She found the photographer, Tiffany Sanford, through

the Stittsville Moms Facebook Page. She liked Tiffany’s Facebook page and feels that she is a really talented photographer. A variety of shots were taken last Saturday, featuring individual youngsters as well as some group shots. Various props were used to enhance the photos, such as pillows, balloons, a skateboard, a bucket …and more. And photographer Tiffany Sanford used her expertise in capturing the best in the scenes. She used golf tees yes, those little white wooden holders of golf balls – to prop up pillows and unobtrusively hold down the strings attached to floating balloons. She had the youngsters saying those magic words “Monster Socks” as she snapped their pictures, ensuring a cute facial expression. And she had an red Elmo face draped over her camera, with the lens poking through, not only to get the youngsters to look at the camera but also to have them smiling at the sight of the familiar Muppet character from the children’s TV show Sesame Street. And Elmo even squeaked at times to ensure that he was the focus of attention. Kiddie Kobbler in Canada goes back over 60 years as it was in 1951 that Kiddie Kobbler was established as the first shoe store in Canada devoted exclusively to the footwear needs of children. Today Kiddie Kobbler stores combine independent ownership with the strength of a franchised brand name. The new store here in Stittsville, when it opens next March, will primarily feature children’s shoes although it will carry a few other accessories.

Soap box derby tradition goes back to 1971 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The decision by the Stittsville Village Association not to host any more soap box derbies in Stittsville after holding sanctioned events on Abbott Street from 2007 through 2010 means that Stittsville no longer has a soap box derby, an activity which can be traced back to 1971. This was when the firstever soap box derby was held in Stittsville, with ten soap boxes taking part in the racing on the Carleton Street (now Carleton Cathcart Street) hill in August, 1971. Two trophies were up for grabs, one for grand champion and one for the best built soap box. These early soap box races were not sanctioned by any soap box association or body. Rather, the races grew out of an increasingly popular summertime pastime by village youngsters, namely building soap boxes and then driving them along village streets, pushed by the push power of other youngsters. For the first soap box derby in 1971, judges Bert Nevers and Stittsville village reeve Ab Black chose Michael Durling’s soap box as the “best built”.
Barry Moffatt won the grand champion trophy, edging out Randy Biggs in the finals. Other participants in this inaugural soap box derby in Stittsville were Danny Gracey, Danny Gallant, Tim Kirby, Richard Cartwright, Danny Parent, Danny Quinn and Andrew Gullock. The holding of a soap box derby in Stittsville was first suggested by Richard Hall who was the recreation director for the village of Stittsville at the time. His father, Bert Hall, who was the recreation director for the town of Arnprior, had held similar soap box derbys and that is where Richard got the idea. His suggestion was taken up and thus began what was to become a longtime annual tradition in Stittsville, a tradition which was interrupted for several years and then was resumed in 2007, only to be halted again in 2011. Right from the start Marion Gullock and her husband, Bill, were involved with the soap box derby. Their son Andrew was one of the first participants. In the early years of these soap box derbys, as many as 35 youngsters would enter the event. Over the years, the number of entrants declined, even when the Stittsville Le-
gion, which ultimately became the sponsor of the event, had two soap boxes built for use by any youngster who wanted to race. In the early years of soap box racing in Stittsville, though, it was much more than a one-day activity as the village youngsters would play with their soap boxes all summer long. It mattered little to them that Stittsville had a lack of suitable hills. They simply had a friend run along behind with a push pole, propelling the soap box along. These early soap boxes were made of anything that ran. Tricycles were a popular component of these early homemade soap boxes. So too were baby carriage wheels which were in high demand throughout the village each summer. Any soap boxes which got damaged or smashed up in the playing with them before the racing day would undergo numerous repairs before race day. In addition, last minute repairs and renovations were commonplace. One year, for instance, Andrew Gullock raced in a soap box that did not even have its paint dry. The village was lucky in that Carleton Street (now Carleton Cathcart Street), with the best hill in the community,
was paved almost all of the way down, allowing it to be the site for the derby. The only time that the site for the soap box derby was changed in these early years was when the sewer and water services were being installed in the village at the end of the 1970’s. Carleton Street was ripped up at derby time, so for that year, the derby was switched to Hobin Street west of Second Avenue where there is a hill. In the early years, the Stittsville Legion supplied one of the trophies for the soap box derby. However, the village’s recreation department remained as the early sponsor of the event. With the formation of the new amalgamated township of Goulbourn in 1974, the village’s recreation department was taken over by the new township’s administration. This new township-wide recreation department showed no interest in sponsoring the derby, so the Stittsville Legion took over the sponsorship, retaining it until the derby ceased being held in the late 1990’s. Bill Gullock, who along with his wife Marion was involved with the soap box derby in the early years, died in March, 1973. It was decided
at that time to honour him for his work with the derby and for recreation in the village in general that the soap box derby would be named the Bill Gullock Memorial Soap Box Derby, a name which it carried through to the end and which is now being carried on with a memorial race in the Turpin Soap Box Derby. It was Bill Gullock, for instance, who stored the first starting ramp for the soap box derby which really was a double of table tops donated by the Legion. Over the years, the soap boxes became more sophisticated. The old tricycle and baby carriage wheels gave way to hard rubber wheels with ball bearings. Consequently, the winning times improved. Tony Mitchelson even introduced a timing mechanism for the races for a couple of years, adding a further dimension to the event. But since its start, the soap box derby was meant to be, as Marion Gullock puts it, a fun thing for the kids of the village. This is the spirit in which the race has been held over the years, being the same spirit which generated those organization efforts which led to the first soap box derby in 1971.
In 1982, a new adult class was introduced, something which turned out to be a shortlived experiment. This adult class was for any adults who dared to go down the course. Altogether, nine adults took part in this adult race which was run after the regular races, using soap boxes supplied by the youngsters. Taking part in this 1982 adult race were Yves Gregoire, Tom Dufayette, Rick Neitzel, Allan Shaw, John Curry, Tony Mitchelson, Paul Rautenberg, Mary Pope and Kathy Rautenberg. Mary Pope emerged as the winner in the class, beating John Curry in the final. The 1982 soap box derby was also memorable for having the most crashes or spinouts of any derby for quite some time. In one race, Matthew Lessard, racing against David Janssen, was thrown from his soap box, with the soap box shooting across the street, driver-less. The soap box derby continued until 1997, although participation dropped off in the later years. The Stittsville Legion, with its starting ramp and couple of soap boxes available to any youngster, continued to be involved right to the end.

huddled by itself in a corner of the chicken coop trying to keep warm. I begged Mother to let me bring it in the house at night. I told her I would look after it and I would keep it in a cardboard box so that it wouldn’t dirty the kitchen floor. Mother said farm animals belonged in the barn, chickens in the chicken coop. After many tears and promises to scrub the floor on my hands and knees if there was a reason to, Mother finally agreed that I could bring Squeaky into the house to sleep. I emptied a box I found in the drive shed and put one of my dolls’ blankets in it and situated Squeaky and the box behind the Findlay Oval. When I went to bed that first night, the last thing I did before climbing the stairs was check on Squeaky. She was asleep with that bare head tucked under an equally bare wing, the picture of perfect chicken contentment. For the first time in many nights I would go to sleep assured that my pet chicken was warm and safe. As soon as Mother blew out the coal oil lamp and the kitchen was turned to black, loud squawks could be heard right through the house. I could hear Father jumping out of bed, while Audrey and I sat bolt upright. I flew downstairs in the dark just as Father was
lighting the lamp and peering into the box behind the stove. There was Squeaky with her head in the air and her mouth wide open letting out the most outrageous roars I ever heard come out of a chicken. Mother said she was to be taken right out to the chicken coop. I started to wail that it was the middle of the night and that Squeaky would be frightened to death. “Best thing that could happen to her,” I heard Emerson say from the top of the stairs. I learned early in life that if I cried as if my heart was broken I could usually move Father. Mother was another matter. But that night it was Father’s decision that the chicken could stay in the house upstairs beside my bed, but that it would be the last night it would be sleeping anyplace but in the henhouse. I was sure if it had to spend one more night out in that drafty place it would surely freeze to death. It was my very clever sister Audrey who had the perfect solution the next day. She said not to worry - she would take care of the situation. The morning broke cold and windy for a late summer day. When I leaned out of the bed Squeaky was still fast asleep, just as I had left her with my sweater over her naked body. See CHICK, page 43

stop me from favouring a baby lamb or a newborn calf, and at one time I was especially fond of a chicken that I had named Squeaky. It had come into the world in the late spring, bursting out of a shell right before my eyes one rainy day. All the other baby chicks were bright yellow, but this little one was almost white and its feathers were few and far between. Father said it was a weakling and he doubted it would survive. But survive it did and it was soon obvious it was not going to be at all like the other chickens. I could see that as it grew it was not going to have much in the way of feathers. Father said that happened sometimes. A cull, he called it. I took to that little chicken and it to me and we were soon inseparable. It didn’t look like a chicken and it certainly didn’t sound like one. While the others chirped, this one squawked and that’s why I decided to call it Squeaky. My brothers made fun of the little bare chicken with nothing more than a bit of fuzz around its tail end and a few scraggly hairs at its neck. The rest of its body was completely bare and pink. It had lost its colour as it grew. As the summer wore on and the warm days got chilly, I grew increasingly concerned about Squeaky. It was often pushed aside by the other chickens and I would find it

Cornmeal muffins always OK
PAT TREW Food â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Stuff
Whether your taste runs to a bowl of spicy chili or a steaming plate of beef stew, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll enjoy the taste of these cornmeal mufďŹ ns. These are slightly sweet, moist and simple to make. You can ďŹ nd the cornmeal in the supermarket, usually in the section with the cooked cereals such as oatmeal. If you ďŹ nd the mufďŹ ns start to get a bit dry after a couple of days (if they last that long), just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll taste almost as fresh as if they just came out of the oven.
This recipe makes a large batch, 12 to 16 mufďŹ ns, but they freeze well. I thaw a few and then reheat them in the toaster oven. Cornmeal Muffins 1 1/2 cups cornmeal 1 3/4 cups ďŹ&#x201A;our 2 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1 /2 tsp. baking soda 2/3 cup brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 2 eggs
Audrey got out of bed and headed right for the box I kept my doll clothes in. She took out a tiny sweater with buttons I used on my China doll Aunt Lizzie had sent me from Regina. She forced Squeakyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs into the arm holes and buttoned the sweater across its bare breast. It ďŹ t her like a glove and once she had shaken her legs a couple of times, resigned herself to her new clothes. We walked right out the kitchen door with the chicken in my dollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweater and over to the chicken coop. When Audrey put her down she went scurrying into the crowd demanding her share of the feed. Just before it got dark that night, Audrey and I went out to take one last look. There was Squeaky apart from the rest of the chickens,
Generously grease a mufďŹ n pan. I use a pastry brush because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and less messy than other methods. In one bowl, combine the cornmeal, ďŹ&#x201A;our, baking powder baking soda, salt and sugar. In another bowl, mix the eggs, milk and oil. Pour this into the dry ingredients, and stir just until combined.
Spoon the batter into mufďŹ n cups, ďŹ lling them about three-quarters full. Bake at 400 F (205 C) for about 15 minutes. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done, insert a toothpick in the centre of a mufďŹ n near the middle of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done. Let the mufďŹ ns sit in the pan for ďŹ ve minutes, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to remove them without having them break apart. Serve warm.

fast asleep in her bright red and yellow hand knit sweater. A clever girl was my sister Audrey. Emerson said the coloured sweater would put off the other hens from laying eggs. Audrey said to pay him no attention. My featherless chicken kept growing into larger sweaters. I dreaded the day when she would join the others in the back of the old Model T Ford to be taken into Renfrew and traded for sugar and ďŹ&#x201A;our. But Father and Mother decided, because she was such an odd looking bird, she would likely be as tough as blazes. Squeaky was allowed to live out her life naturally to my great relief. She was featherless and stayed bared in the warm weather, and when the weather was cold, she was cozily wrapped in a dollâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweater.

The children of today are the decision-makers of the future. Therefore, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s imperative that youngsters learn about the planet and how to protect it. Teaching children about the ways they can protect the planet or make simple changes to decrease their carbon footprints now may pave the way for more informed adults later, and children can discover the benefits of giving back rather than taking more. â&#x20AC;˘ Bike, walk or carpool. Kids are in transit just as much as their adult counterparts, and how they get from point A to point B can help or hurt the environment. From home to school, from school to an extracurricular activity, from an extracurricular activity back to home, transportation is a large part of the day. Automobiles consume large amounts of fossil fuels and also release harmful contaminants into the air via their exhaust systems. Walking or biking to school gives children the opportunity to enjoy fresh air and exercise while reducing their reliance on fuels. If school is too far away, involve kids in the set-up of a carpool with friends and discuss the benefits of riding together. â&#x20AC;˘ Take a trip. Children are visual creatures and often learn the best lessons by seeing what something is all about. A day trip to a working farm or a recycling center can teach important lessons about sustainability and conservation. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop secondhand. Children and toys go hand-in-hand. However, what was once the latest and greatest toy can quickly become overshadowed by something new tomorrow. Explain the benefits of getting gently used toys, clothing and books instead of purchasing them new. Doing so reduces the reliance on the production of new

Save on back-to-school clothes The back to school season can be bittersweet. Parents may miss having their youngsters around the house when summer officially ends, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also fun for parents to watch kids partake in all that school has to offer. One of the things few parents look forward come the end of summer vacation is back-to-school shopping. Such shopping can be costly, especially when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to outfit kids with new wardrobes. While a complete wardrobe overhaul might not be necessary, kids typically need to replace a few items theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve outgrown since the

Parents can visit department store Web sites to find great deals on back to school clothing for their kids. shoes and jackets. â&#x20AC;˘ Swap clothes with other families. Clothing swaps between families have grown increasingly popular as more and more parents look to save money on rising clothing costs for their kids. Typically, families will swap clothes, including jackets, if their kids are similar in age and one youngster has outgrown his or her clothes. If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a family to swap with, visit your local community center or church to see if it has a clothing swap program. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop discount stores. If the local consignment store has already been raided, consider a
discount store like Marshalls or TJ Maxx. These stores typically sell items at heavily discounted prices and often have similar inventories to mall department stores. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop online. A relatively new way for parents to save on back to school clothing is to shop online. A popular storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site might offer discounts that their brickand-mortar store does not. Parents can also scour a host of coupon Web sites to find special codes they can use at checkout. These codes might offer free shipping or a percentage off the bill when consumers spend a certain amount of money.

start of summer break. There are several ways parents can save on back-to-school clothes. â&#x20AC;˘ Get a head start. Parents can save themselves some money by shopping early for their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back-to-school wardrobes. Though kids may experience a growth spurt during the summer, shop for items, like socks, that they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to grow out of before the back-to-school season begins. This affords you time to comparison shop and spread out the cost of replacing your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wardrobe instead of being hit with one big bill all at once. â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a budget. Without a budget, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy for parents to overspend on back-to-school clothing, especially for those parents who wait until the last minute and simply buy the first things they see. Establish a budget, ideally several weeks before your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first day of school. Having a budget in place reduces the likelihood that you will overspend, and developing the budget early helps you spread out your spending. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop at consignment stores. Consignment stores offer namebrand clothing at discounted prices, something parents of ever-growing youngsters can appreciate. Kids will like the namebrand gear, while Moms and Dads will enjoying not having to pay name-brand prices. A consignment store with significant inventory might sell anything from blue jeans and T-shirts to sneakers,

How to make healthy school lunches dipping sauce or caramel, it may look more appealing. Look to â&#x20AC;&#x153;miniâ&#x20AC;? foods, which tend to be more fun as well. Little sandwiches and little burgers may present an optical illusion, where kids think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re eating only a small amount, but actually itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a full serving. â&#x20AC;˘ Hide healthy foods within others. There are entire recipe books that teach you how to mix fruits and vegetables into desserts to increase nutritive value. Everything from spinach to tofu to beets have been included in items like cake, cookies and brownies. So if kids are reticent to dig into their greens, try a clever hiding method. â&#x20AC;˘ Cut foods into fun shapes. Kids may be more inclined to eat a turkey and cheese sandwich if
itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cut into star shapes or their favorite cartoon characters. Invest in a few cookie cutters so that lunchtime becomes fun time. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the time of day dictate what you serve. As long as kids are eating healthy items, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter when they eat them. If a child loves bagels, choose whole wheat bagels and add an egg on top for a nutritious lunch. Serve with a gelatin dessert that contains chunks of fruit and low-fat milk, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re set. There are many different ways to improve homemade lunches for the better.

The divisions also help you remember to include foods from the basic food groups, such as a fruit, vegetable, protein, starch and dairy item. â&#x20AC;˘ Have your child make a list of his or her favorite foods. Once the list has been made, see how you can make the foods healthier. For example, if chicken nuggets make the list, prepare your own nuggets with white meat chunks that are baked, not fried. If there are a number of bread items, see if you can substitute whole grain breads instead of white, bleached varieties. â&#x20AC;˘ Get creative.

Confrontations focusing on diet between children and parents have been around seemingly since the beginning of time. Many children start off as cooperative eaters, anxious to try different types of foods. As they get older, the number of foods theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re apt to eat diminishes, which can make choosing healthy items for lunches and dinners more difficult. It also can make packing lunches for school more challenging. Many initiatives have attempted to improve the quality of school lunches provided by school cafeterias. Government regulations to reduce the amount of fat and sodium in these lunches, and to introduce more whole grains, fruits and vegetables, are one such initiative. Parents of students who prefer to bring their own lunches from home may be left wondering how they can create healthy lunches their kids will eat. Considering school lunches must compete with far less healthy yet widely available alternatives, parents will need to be creative in their creation of homemade lunches. Here are some ideas to get you started. â&#x20AC;˘ Purchase a new lunch container. There are many different new and innovative lunch containers that can make separating school lunches easy. Few kids want to dig into a brown paper sack and pull out something that has been so squashed itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unrecognizable.

"UUFOUJPO BACK-to-SCHOOL 'BMM 3FHJTUSBUJPO How to recognize if your child has a vision problem Parents want their kids to be as healthy as possible. Whether tailoring kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diets to include healthier foods or encouraging their youngsters to be physically active, parents often go the extra mile with regards to the health of their children. But as hard as parents may try, some health-related issues are difficult to avoid or prevent. For example, even the most conscientious parents might have little influence over their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision. Many children have a form of myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness,
which progressively worsens as kids get older but eventually stabilizes when their eyes have stopped growing, typically in a young adultâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early 20s. Myopia is common and treatable, but parents should still educate themselves about it so they can better respond should they suspect their child is suffering from nearsightedness. What causes myopia? When a person has myopia, light entering his or her eye is focused incorrectly. Nearsighted people usually have an eyeball that
is slightly longer than normal from front to back, and the light rays that make up the images a nearsighted person sees focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it. The result is that objects that are far away appear blurry. Are there indicators that a child is nearsighted? Kids likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell their parents that they are struggling to see distant objects clearly, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for parents to look for indicators that a child might be struggling with myopia.

who are nearsighted might squint to see objects that are far away, including the television. One of the telltale indicators is how a child behaves in the classroom. Children who tell their teacher they need to move closer to the chalkboard should be taken to the eye doctor. Parents who suspect their child might be nearsighted can talk to their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher and ask if the teacher feels the child might be struggling with his or her vision. Such struggles can affect how a child performs in school. Children who get frequent headaches might also be suffering from nearsightedness. Doctors recommend that kids have their eyes examined at six months, three years of age and prior to entering the first grade. But even if kids have passed previous eye examinations at each of those benchmarks, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to take them for another exam the moment a vision problem is suspected. Is myopia preventable? Since it is often inherited, myopia is not preventable. However, treatment can significantly minimize its effects. Children who appear to be struggling to see distant objects clearly should be taken for an eye exam. That exam may include an eye pressure measurement; a refraction test, which is used to determine a correct prescription for eyeglasses; a retinal examination and a visual acuity
test, which measures sharpness of vision at close and far distances. When a child is diagnosed as being nearsighted, the doctor will likely prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses. LASIK surgery can correct vision, but many surgeons are reticent to recommend such surgery until a patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye has fully developed, which does not occur until after childhood. Are there other symptoms of childhood vision problems? There are additional symptoms of childhood vision problems that might not indicate nearsightedness, but might indicate another problem that should result in a trip to the eye doctor. For example, a child might close one eye when watching
television or reading. This could be indicative that vision in one eye is poorer than the other. Young children who struggle to color within the lines might have an issue with their handeye coordination. Poor hand-eye coordination could be the result of a vision impairment. Children who tilt their head to one side to improve vision might be suffering from a vision problem that makes it difficult for them to look directly down. Vision problems can negatively affect how a child performs in school as well as in social situations. Though such vision problems are not always preventable, parents who can identify them can greatly minimize their effects.

A kindergartener’s first day of school is a day to cherish. There are so many firsts to experience, from wearing a backpack for the first time to making new friends to riding on a school bus. All of these firsts can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. For many youngsters, school marks the first time they are away from their parents for an extended period of time. As a result, safety concerns -- especially concerning transportation to and from school -- is foremost on the minds of many parents. School bus safety is something that should be presented to children in terms they can understand. Riding on a school bus is often a fun experience for kids, but the prospect of leaving Mom or Dad behind at the curb can spark mixed feelings. It is best to prepare students for the school bus a few weeks prior to the first day of school to gauge their reactions and plan accordingly. Many school districts and transportation companies, like the North Penn School District Transportation Department in Pennsylvania, host annual events that help introduce kindergarteners-to-be to the school bus. Children are encouraged to enter the bus and learn about all of the equipment. The students also may be given a short ride around town, and safety information is typically included. If the school district where you are living does not host a special orientation day for children entering kindergarten, see if you can arrange to have a bus tour by contacting a bus company in the area. Although safety tips may be covered at orientation, it is a good idea to reinforce lessons at home in preparation for the first day of school. Here are some important topics to go over. • Walk to the bus using a sidewalk if there is one. If no

Dilawri made Stittsville â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just Beyond The Fringeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dilawriâ&#x20AC;? is closely woven with Stittsville as the car dealership bearing the Dilawri name not only grew to be the villageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest employer at one time but also made Stittsville a household word across the Ottawa region because of the dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success. Because of the car dealershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive advertising using the slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Beyond The Fringeâ&#x20AC;?, Stittsville itself became known as the community â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Beyond The Fringeâ&#x20AC;?. Even today, 30 years after the Dilawri name left the Stittsville scene, many throughout the Ottawa area still remember the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Beyond The Fringeâ&#x20AC;? slogan and
the Stittsville connection. Customers from across the whole Ottawa region came to the Dilawri car dealership during its two decades in business, starting in 1963. Indeed, in Stittsville, then a village of less than 2000 people, the Dilawri dealership had a dominant presence. It drew hundreds to the village, joining with the Kiltie MacTavish Furniture Warehouse established in the old Goulburn Bowling Lanes and associated buildings on Main Street in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and later with the Stittsville Flea Market after it got going in 1974 as being the major attractions in the village. The Dilawri car dealership had a prominent location in Stittsville, located on Main Street near what was then
highway seven and is now the Hazeldean Road. It was the first thing seen approaching and then entering the village. The site is now across from the present-day Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer. Dilawri Motor Sales Limited opened in November, 1963 as an authorized dealership for Mercury, Meteor and Comet cars as well as Mercury Trucks. It also offered genuine Ford parts and sold White Rose oil products. It set up in a completely new 70 foot by 70 foot building containing a two car showroom, offices and a complete parts department across the front of the building, with a service department in the ear. Originally Dilawri Motor Sales Limited had looked at purchasing property along
Main Street where later the Stittsville Lions Medical Centre building was constructed. However, owner Hari Dilawri in the end purchase the site where Dilawriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s went on to become such a landmark. It was low, sampy land that had to be filled in. Much of the fill came from a hill that used to exist where the Stittsville Shopping Centre was built in the late 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Hari Dilawri, who had previous experience in the automobile business, was joined in the business by his two brothers. A grand opening of Dilawri Motor Sales Limited
at what was then 707 Main Street North in Stittsville was held from Thursday to Saturday, November 28-30, in 1963. A highlight of this grand opening celebration was a performance by then well-known CFRA Happy Wanderers musical group on the Friday evening. Refreshments and gifts for all visitors were provided during the grand opening. Dilawri Motor Sales quickly became part of the community. In February, 1965, for instance, Dilawri Motor Sales donated a 1965 Comet to South Carleton High School
in Richmond for use in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Driver Education Course which was sanctioned by the Ontario Department of Transport. The keys to the new car were handed over in a brief ceremony to W.W. Powell, principal of South Carleton, by Hari Dilawri of Dilawri Motor Sales which was a Mercury/Meteo/Comet dealer at that time. Others taking part in the presentation of the keys ceremony were sales manager Guy Lemaire and truck specialist Gunter Wellenstein. See DILAWRI, page 54

HISTORY

Continued from page 50
Making a difference Volunteering is defined as the act of working on behalf of others without financial or material gain. At the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, volunteers are described as individuals helping to build a better community through the generosity of their time, their energy and their skills. Our volunteers are fundamental and provide a vital link in the delivery of services to children in our community. Volunteering at the CAS There are several reasons why you may be interested in volunteering. It may be a means of exploring new challenges or discovering new career options. You may be looking to develop interpersonal skills or gain self-confidence. Volunteering can be a great way to meet new people and through their experiences and your own, you may gain a better understanding of the people and organizations in our community. That being said, to many, the greatest satisfaction in volunteering at the CAS, is knowing they have made a difference in the life of a child or youth.
Volunteer opportunities With back-to-school season upon us, our biggest opportunity is becoming a volunteer driver. These individuals assist with school drives, in the morning and afternoons, but also bring children and youth from foster homes to scheduled appointments. “Volunteering give me a sense of worthwhile. It doesn’t feel like work and I’m able to give something back - it’s like a breath of fresh air” – Richard M. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer driver or tutor, we will be hosting an orientation session on September 5th, 2012 at 6:00 pm. Remember, the caring gift of your time assists the Society in its efforts to keep the children and youth of our community safe and secure.
R0011583598
From all walks of life Our volunteers are residents of our community who chose to give their time. They are men and women over the age of 18, single or partnered and represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Our volunteers are from all walks of life, but they share a common goal: improving the life of a child or youth.
vestments which had drained resources from the firm, weakening it just when it needed to be strong to get through the bad automotive times. Hari Dilawri had gotten into other ventures as early as 1967 when he purchased Bonaventure Ford (then Blondin Ford) in Hull. He continued through the years to expand his business interests with other car dealerships, a tent and trailer business and an equipment dealership. In 1973, McCaffrey Auto Sales Ltd., a General Motors dealership and a Stittsville institution since 1914, closed. The McCaffrey firm employed about 13 people at the time of its closure. General Motors pledged to open another dealership in Stittsville and within four months of the McCaffrey closure did so, with Dilawri Motors Sales Limited, up until then a Mercury dealership, becoming a General Motors dealership under the ChevOlds label. Dilawri’s continued to be successful as a General Motors dealership. In 1976, Dilawri Chevrolet-Oldsmobile Limited of Stittsville was honoured as one of the top 100 General Motors’ dealers in Canada, being awarded the President’s Triple Crown Award which was a newly inaugurated award that year. This award was for excellence in leadership skills in all phases of dealership management. Also in 1976, Dilawri’s was planning a major addi-

Clarkson Company Ltd., which had been appointed receiver, undertook a three week study to determine the financial prospects for the company. The business continued in operation for this short while as the receiver looked for a possible buyer. Dilawri Chev-Olds was the fifth large dealership in the Ottawa area to go into receivership within a year of each other due to declining new car sales, the result of high interest rates and tight economic conditions in the country. By September, 1982, the Dilawri Chev-Olds building in Stittsville was vacant due to the Dilawri bankruptcy. However, it was not vacant for long. In October, 1982, the thenCarleton Board of Education, which was looking for a new home for its stores and maintenance divisions, agreed to purchase the building and its 9.9 acre site. The bankruptcy trustees were asking $1.4 million for the 32,000 square foot complex. The Carleton Board of Education paid $900,000 while estimating that $400,000 to $500,000 would be needed for renovations. However, this was far less than the estimated $3.4 million which the Board would have to spend to build a new, comparable facility. About 60 staff and 35 vehicles were involved with the CBE’s stores and maintenance divisions. In January, 1983, the Carleton Board of Education agreed to spend $2,255,000 to develop the Dilawri property and facility for its purposes.

tion to its building. It would be a two storey addition on the south side of the existing showroom. This new addition, opened in 1977, would house customer reception and service as well as new offices. The Dilawri success story carried on in the late 1970’s, with the Dilawri family branching out into other car dealerships in the Ottawa area. Among these dealerships with which the Dilawri name was associated were Carleton Chrysler and then Amberdawn Ford which closed in the early 1980’s. These dealerships were located in Stittsville in the Hazeldean Road building that went on to house Ritchie Feed and Seed and is now a Rona Building Centre. But with a downturn in the automotive market in the early 1980’s, Dilawri Chev-Olds was not given the financial resources by its ownership to survive the crisis. Instead of concentrating on new automotive initiatives such as leasing, Hari Dilawri became financially involved with other ventures such as a proposed car mall and an insulation business, both in the United States. Eventually, a financial crunch hit Dilawri’s and the firm was forced into bankruptcy with several million dollars of debt. Ironically, about six months after the firm closed down, the car business saw the start of a turnaround. Dilawri Chev-Olds was placed in receivership in the first week of May, 1982, despite being one of the largest General Motors dealerships in the country.

Volunteering At the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa
As early as 1967, the firm was using the slogan “Just Beyond The Fringe”, a motto that became such a well known advertising jingo in the area that it still is readily identified with Dilawri’s and Stittsville by many today. Dilawri Motor Sales Limited became at one time the largest Mercury dealer in Ontario and perhaps in all of Canada. In its boom years, it sold about 1,900 new vehicles a year. The largest car dealer in the Ottawa area at that time might sell up to 2,500 new vehicles in a year but such a dealer would represent a more popular vehicle such as Chevrolet. In 1969, Dilawri Motor Sales Ltd. became a truck centre as well, selling both Ford and Mercury trucks. It went on to become a well known truck dealer, selling vehicles across Canada. An additional service area was added to the original Dilawri building in 1971 which was the year that the firm boasted as being Ontario’s largest Mercury dealer. Dilawri’s became a major employer in Stittsville, with 40 to 45 persons on staff in the late 1960’s and the number growing to 90 to 100 staff before the firm folded in the early 1980’s, forced into bankruptcy due to a soft car market and a spat of other in-

er of the dealership, involved his staff, always asking staff members their opinion before doing anything. In addition, he treated his sales staff well, realizing that selling new cars was the key to economic success. He was a great motivator. For instance, if a salesperson was in a slump and feeling low, Hari might suggest that he go in and purchase a new suit and get a haircut, all at Hari’s expense. The sales person would invariably return to work the next day, full of energy and eager to start selling. Dilawri’s provided vehicles not only for its sales personnel but also for the wives. There was wisdom in this seeming madness. A wife with her own car would not be constantly phoning the husband, seeking the family car. In addition, she would be far less inclined to complain when the husband worked long hours. And working long hours was virtually compulsory at Dilawri’s. A weekday schedule of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. was
not uncommon, along with working Saturdays until 6 p.m. If a sales person did not put in the time as expected, he would soon find himself not working there. Hari Dilawri, who founded and led the business through its growth and was responsible for much of it through his handling of staff and his positive approach to sales, eventually returned to India, his homeland. He had business interests in Russia. He is now deceased. He was a char-
ter member of the Stittsville District Lions Club in 1964. Ram Dilawri, who looked after the day to day business at Dilawri’s in its later years, was the last to leave the premises when the firm closed down. He ended up in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, involved with a car dealership. Kay Dilawri, a third brother, became involved in various business enterprises in the Ottawa area, including Kay-Dee Automobiles, a car dealership. R0011587935/0830
This included $900,000 to purchase the existing building and property, $990,000 to convert the existing building to house the Board’s plant and construction trades, another $150,000 for site development and $830,000 to construct a new 20,000 square foot building on the site for use as a central stores and warehouse facility. The steel framework for this new stores depot building was erected by May, 1983. Renovations on the former Dilawri building were to allow it to be used as the Board’s maintenance depot. In December, 1983, the official opening of the Central Depot of the Carleton Board of Education was held. Renovations and upgrading had ended up costing $1,368,000 while the new building on the site had cost $957,000. A total of 85 staff ended up working at this new Central Depot location. While the official opening was held in December, Carleton Board staff had actually begun occupying the renovated and new premises in early June, 1983. In addition to housing the offices for the Board’s plant department and foremen for the Board’s maintenance work, the Board’s courier service to all schools operated from the facility. The maintenance staff at the facility supervised and scheduled all maintenance work in Board schools. In addition, all of the Board’s tradesmen and truck drivers were housed at the facility. The new Central Stores building was used to warehouse all of the supplies used by the school board both in its schools and in the maintenance of its properties. In late 1996, the Carleton Roman Catholic School Board leased space at this site from the Carleton Board of Education for its planning department. The Carleton Board of Education, which had become part of the new Ottawa-Carleton District School Board with the provincial initiative to reduce the number of school boards through amalgamation of existing local boards, closed down this Central Depot facility in 1998. The Carleton Roman Catholic School Board continued to lease space at the site until 2002 when, as the then-amalgamated Ottawa-Carleton Catholic School Board, it moved into a new headquarters building where most of its staff were housed, including its planning staff that had been at the Stittsville site.
By 2007, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board was once again utilizing the facility as premises for its facilities department, including its design and construction services, its maintenance division and its operations division. The former central stores and warehouse facility was being used as the facilities department’s conference room and training centre. Dilawri Motor Sales Limited and later Dilawri ChevOlds had succeeded for two decades for a number of reasons. One lay in the firm’s inventory policy, having 250 to 300 vehicles on site at any one time and sometimes as many as 500 vehicles. As a result, customers did not have to order a new car and wait for its delivery. They could select the model and colour and options that they wanted and in most cases, drive the vehicle right off the lot. The 250 to 300 vehicles on the lot seemed like a thousand or more to customers who up until that
time were not used to seeing such a sea of vehicles at a car dealer’s lot. Advertising and promotion were also keys to the Dilawri success. “Just Beyond The Fringe” became a frequent and easily recognized slogan. Besides advertising, though, the dealership was constantly trying different promotions and gimmicks. In 1967, Canada’s Centennial Year, the dealership had a successful promotion in which purchasers received a free bust of either John A. Macdonald or Georges Etienne Cartier, two key Fathers of Confederation. The busts, obtained due to a failed promotional scheme elsewhere, turned out to be extremely popular and people actually purchased cars just so that they could obtain one of the busts. Another popular promotion happened when Dilawri’s gave away two silver dollars to anyone who brought in a car for a trade-in appraisal. It went on and on, with promotions constantly attracting customers. And when they came, they were met by some of the top sales people in the business. Hari Dilawri, found-
