GRC ice pad is now ‘Matt Bradley Arena’

News - It’s official now.

The new second ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville has been named “Matt Bradley Arena.”

Ottawa city council gave its approval to the name at its meeting on Wednesday, Aug. 28, following up on an earlier recommendation by council’s community and protective services committee that the ice pad be named “Matt Bradley Arena.”

The name honours Stittsville native Matt Bradley who began playing hockey in the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association at the age of six with his father Paul as one of the coaches. Matt ultimately went on to play 675 games in the National Hockey League for four teams over a 12 year career (2000 to 2012).

‘For Whom the Bell Tolls’ - Stittsville edition john.curry@metroland.com

News - “For Whom the Bell Tolls” is the title of one of Ernest Hemingway’s best known novels, a story based in the Spanish Civil War. And while the novel itself has absolutely nothing to do with Stittsville and what has arisen as a problem for a fragile segment of its residents, the novel’s title does have a certain application to the Stittsville situation.

That’s because the solution to the problem may be as simple as having a bell on bicycles and using the warning device at appropriate times.

And just for whom are these bells to toll?

Well, let’s tell you about the situation of 90 year old Beryl Buck of Stittsville. She lives on her own at the Poole Creek Manor on Stittsville Main Street and she tries to keep active, taking part in seniors activities and frequently walking to Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and other stores along Stittsville Main Street.

But what concerns her as she goes along the sidewalk is the behaviour particularly of young people riding their bicycles on the sidewalk. Now, don’t’ misunderstand. She realizes that children especially must cycle along the sidewalk for safety reasons. It would be just too dangerous to be on the street itself.

However, her concern is that these cyclists, when approaching from behind, often whiz by her at high speed without providing any warning.

“You can’t hear them coming,” Beryl says.

When this happens, a senior like Beryl can be shocked from the sudden passing of the cyclist. On several occasions, Beryl herself has suffered from heart palpatations from such a shock.

And while Beryl herself walks with a steady gait, moving along smartly most of the time, and usually has her shopping “trolley” with her which provides even more balance, she notes that there are many seniors, particularly in the Poole Creek Manor/Stittsville Villa area of Stittsville who are not so steady on their feet and could be easily thrown off balance by a bicycle whizzing by them unannounced.

There is also the danger that one of these seniors walking along the sidewalk may accidently move into the path of a cyclist coming up from behind at great

speed. This could result in broken bones, perhaps even a broken hip which for a senior could result in the loss of mobility and independence.

“All I’m asking is to have a bell on their bikes so I can hear them coming,” Beryl says. If the bell were used as the bicycle was approaching from the rear, she would hear it and be prepared for its passing. No more shock.

She notes that bicycles approaching her are no problem because she can see them coming and can be prepared for their passing. But it is the bicycles coming up behind her that worry her – this is where a bell or horn on the bike could be used and everything would be so much safer. It seems like such a simple solution to the problem in her view.

Beryl realizes that perhaps people do not realize that there is a problem. She hopes that people will now appreciate the problem and perhaps children in schools will be taught to use their bike bells or horns for a warning as they approach someone walking along a sidewalk from behind.

She says that hopefully bicycle bells or horns start ringing before there is a nasty accident involving a senior pedestrian along Stittsville Main Street.

This sidewalk situation has worried Beryl in the year that she has lived at Poole Creek Manor. She no longer drives and so she must walk to go shopping or take the bus which she does frequently to travel into Kanata or downtown Ottawa or even to the Carlingwood Shopping Centre, using the Monday morning service that passes through Stittsville.

Beryl keeps active, taking part in the walking club that meets at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena hall and also participating in the carpet bowling program offered by the Friendship Club. She is also a member of the Kanata Seniors Centre, participating in its activities.

Beryl celebrated her 90th birthday last June. She is from England but came to Canada and lived in Belleville for over 20 years as one of her sons lived there.

She then returned to England where she has a daughter. She eventually returned to Canada, settling here in Stittsville where a son lives. She also has another son in Belleville.

She has a sister who is 85 years old who lived in Calgary but who has since retired to California.

So, there could be quite a variety of animals at Big Sky Ranch’s display at Villagefest.

But they will all be animals that Big Sky Ranch has rehabilitated from abuse or injury or who have been abandoned by owners.

Also with a presence at this year’s Villagefest will be the Goulbourn Museum, the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, Stittsville’s Youth Connexion and Stittsville’s Scouts.

And you won’t want to miss the opportunity to purchase your very own “goat insurance.”

It’s not sold anywhere else but for two dollars, you will be able to get the peace of mind knowing that no goat will be showing up at your home to eat your lawn.

Of course, this is all being done in fun with the two dollar “goat insurance” fee going as a donation to help the SVA with the expenses of putting on the Villagefest event.

All of Villagefest is meant to be an opportunity for Stittsville residents to drop into Village Square Park and have a good time, not only enjoying the activities going on but also enjoying the opportunity to chat and visit with friends and neighbours whom they might not have seen over the summer.

Villagefest 2013 is taking place this Saturday, Sept. 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome and urged to attend.

In addition, there are two Villagefest-related events happening earlier in the day.

Stittsville’s firefighters at Ottawa Fire Services Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street are hosting a pancake breakfast at the fire hall this Saturday, Sept. 7 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. This promises to be a great way to start of the day.

Proceeds from this pancake breakfast are being donated by the firefighters to help Brittany

News - Villagefest 2013 is here!

This community celebration marking the advent of fall in Stittsville, presented by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), happens this coming Saturday, Sept. 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville.

“It’s a fun day,” SVA director and one of the organizers Marion Gullock says in describing this year’s Villagefest.

And what’s going to be driving this fun? A plethora of entertainers, activities and displays, all centred at Village Square. And, what’s even better, it’s all free thanks to the generosity of community businesses and sponsors who have stepped forward to support this SVA endeavour.

On the entertainment front, there’s going to be puppet master Matt Ficner, a professional puppeteer, puppet builder and performer with over 20 years of experience in the world of puppets. He has worked with such puppet world giants as Jim Henson Associates and Walt Disney, so you know that he is good. He will be introducing you to some of his hand-crafted characters, ranging from family friendly creatures to fascinating monsters.

Cuppa Soup, a Dixieland music band that has been performing in the Ottawa area since 1988, raising funds for soup kitchens and food banks, will be playing at Villagefest 2013.

Also performing will be Yoshi Chladny, a superb juggler who mastered his craft when he trained and coached at L’ecole de Cirque de Verdun in Montreal. He has performed with the Equestrian Circus production Cabrioles in Saguenay, Quebec and has also appeared on television.

But there’s even more.

Stittsville’s own West End Music studio is to have several of its students on hand at Villagefest to perform.

Also on site will be a balloon specialist, twisting balloons into all sorts of different shapes, as well as an artist who will be doing drawings of people on the spot.

For youngsters, there are going to be games like noodle hockey, a three-legged race and an egg-on-a-spoon race. Croquet golf will be set up on the site for even more fun.

Children will be able to do some artwork and then hang it up on a clothesline for all to see and admire.

There will be hay wagon rides along the Trans Canada Trail being offered, thanks to the sponsorship of the Stittsville District Lions Club.

Big Sky Ranch of Kemptville will be on hand with an assortment of animals. It is the

Here comes Natalie MacMaster to Richmond Fair

Special to the News

News – Fiddling sensation Natalie MacMaster will be performing at this year’s Richmond Fair.

Natalie MacMaster’s three-decade career has seen her amass multiple gold albums, two Grammy nominations, one Grammy win, a Juno Award for best instrumental album, eight Canadian Country Music Awards, ten East Coast Music Awards – well, you get the idea.

This Cape Breton fiddling legend has done it all and continues to do it. Just look at the stops on her tour schedule from August onwards this year –Dublin, Ohio for the Dublin Irish Festival; Haliburton, Ontario; Brownfield, Maine; North Hatley, Quebec; La Baie, Quebec; Louisbourg, Nova Scotia; Jamestown, California, for its Strawberry Music Festival; Pagosa Springs, Colorado

for its Four Corners Folk Festival; Uxbridge, Ontario; Kitchener, Ontario; Aberdeen Scotland; Thunder Bay, Ontario; Decorah, Iowa; Ames, Iowa; Madison, Wisconsin; Traverse City, Michigan; East Lansing, Michigan; Springfield, Illinois; Palos Hills, Illinois; Fish Creek, Wisconsin; Iowa City, Iowa; Oshkosh, Wisconsin; Cleveland, Ohio; Barre, Vermont; Plymouth, New Hampshire; Brattleboro, Vermont; Lewisburg, Pennsylvania; Alexandra, Virginia; Kilmarnock, Virginia; and Sarnia, Ontario.

Some of these are performances with her husband fellow fiddler Donnell Leahy of the legendary Leahy family while others are full band shows while others are guest appearances or appearances with a symphony orchestra or with other fiddlers.

But you can see that Natalie MacMaster is still very much a busy and

sought-after performer. To have her appearing at the Richmond Fair on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 9 p.m. is being touted as one of the highlights of this year’s Fair.

Natalie MacMaster has electrified audiences all over the world, thrilling Carnegie Hall audiences and Massey Hall crowds. She has numerous television appearances to her credit including guest spots on Christmas specials like Rita MacNeil’s “Christmas.”

Now a mother of five with the arrival of a son Alec in Aug. 2012, Natalie is a devoted husband and mother but her on-stage performances remain dynamite – she is an entertainer, fiddler and performer par excellence. She even does some step dancing and fiddling at the same time, something which she has done since she was 16 years old and some-

thing that always brings about a great audience reaction.

But it is Natalie’s majesty with the bow and her intricate technique in making the diddle sing in the Cape Breton tradition that really makes her an on-stage hit.

And although Cape Breton fiddle music is her favourite, she also plays pop, rock, country, classical, jazz, bluegrass and other styles of music.

But it’s always performed with a Cape Breton flair.

Getting Safely Back into Routine:

School Lunches Getting back into the school routine can be challenging, especially when the relaxed meal schedules are gone and the task of making lunches returns once again. Health Canada estimates that 11 to 13 million Canadians suffer from foodborne illness each year, and unfortunately children are in a higher risk category to experience more serious symptoms. Foodborne illness occurs when harmful bacteria, viruses or parasites make their way into the body through food or beverages and cause illness or disease. To avoid unwanted “ingredients” making their way into your child’s lunch bag, here are some key reminders to parents when packing lunches.

Keep Hot Foods Hot

• Keep cold foods cold at 4°C or below -Use a refrigerator if possible or use a frozen ice pack, frozen water bottle or juice box and place beside the perishable foods - Use an insulated lunch bag and store it away from sun light or other heat sources. Refrigerate or freeze lunch bags the night before use.

• Foods like soups, chilli, stews and any leftovers must stay hot at 60°C or higher to stay safe. If they are going to be eaten hot at lunchtime, use an • Wash fruits and vegetables before cutting up or eating, even those with insulated thermos or container rinds and skins as the surfaces may • Preheat the insulated thermos or be contaminated with germs or dirt container by adding boiling water for a few minutes. While you are doing this, heat the food in the microwave or stove top to 74°C/165°F. Then empty the thermos of the boiling water and fill it with the hot food

• If left at room temperature, perishable foods like cut fruit, vegetables, meat, chicken, seafood, eggs, mayonnaise, pastas, rice, dairy products and Keep it Clean leftovers can grow dangerous germs • Wash your hands with soap and • If perishables are left at room warm water for at least 20 seconds temperature for more than 2 hours, before preparing your child’s lunch throw them out • Regularly wash your child’s insulated lunch l bag or lunch box with warm soapy water •

We deserved a real debate

O

ttawa voters should take note of a particular date on the calendar that passed recently.

They should tuck the date away along with the memory of what happened that day, saving it for October next year when they are called upon to elect the next city council.

The date is Aug. 28, the day council voted to cast aside what is typically accepted as normal behaviour for municipal bodies in Ontario - open competition, transparent process, regard for rules - and picked the Rideau Carleton Raceway as the only acceptable location for expanded gaming facilities in Ottawa.

Voters should remember this date because there are a significant number of councillors who despite expressing legitimate reservations about the motion went ahead and voted for it anyway. Voters should also recall this vote is in contradiction to one held in October 2012, when the same council voted in favour of an open process for determining the site.

During the course of the casino debate at city hall, councillors consistently raised concerns about public health issues, a convoluted process and the varying effects of seeing a new gaming facility placed at the raceway or at some other location. These are all valid concerns. If members of council have concerns, they

should look to address them before approving something as significant to the city as a new casino.

Instead, we see Innes Coun. Rainer Bloess point to many of those issues only to say “I’ve consistently voted yes and held my nose doing it.� We also see Bay Coun. Mark Taylor saying “this has been an unclear and unclean process.� His residents, he said, “want a more open process,� but “we haven’t gotten there yet.� He voted in favour of the motion. And for College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, it was “not the best decision, but it’s the least worst.�

It has become the habit of this council to approve everything that comes before it, whether there are flaws or not. It is the job of councillors to scrutinize and challenge things. If something smells a little off, why not amend it? Better to reject a motion that doesn’t sit right than to pass it despite any reservations. That’s why there are councillors rather than just a mayor who runs the city by fiat.

Following the bitter divisions that marked many debates during the last council term under mayor Larry O’Brien, the incoming council sought to do business differently. But this should never have led councillors to become afraid to challenging things they don’t feel are right. The residents of Ottawa deserve better from their elected leaders.

Initial thoughts on saving words from the ‘initialism’ scourge

T

here are more important causes, to be sure, but would anybody be interested in trying to save the English language from the curse of initialism?

I thought of this the other day when dealing with a respected Ottawa company with a well-known name and being told to make the cheque out to some initials.

Oh no, I thought. Another one. It joins KFC, RBC, KLM, TLC, IBM, BP, HBC — outfits that prefer to be known by their initials.

In some cases, you can understand it. The initials KLM refer to the words for Dutch national airlines in Dutch. KLM is less likely to confuse people.

In the case of KFC, you will recall that “fried� became a dirty word some time ago but Kentucky Fried Chicken had too much invested in its brand to change it to something more nutritionally correct. So KFC it became.

Likewise, the banks woke up one day and realized that a lot of people hated banks. This is not a good thing to ponder if you happen to be a bank and have the word “bank� in your name. That’s why we have BMO instead of “Bank of Montreal,� RBC instead of “Royal Bank of Canada.�

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town British Petroleum might have become BP because Americans weren’t used to using the word petroleum. Or it might be because oil companies don’t like to be thought of as oil companies.

I don’t have any idea why the Hudson’s Bay Company, an organization with a deep historical association with Canada, would want to become HBC. What’s wrong with any of those words? It may just be that someone sold them on the idea that initials are more modern.

TLC is what The Learning Channel calls itself. This is better than what most people call it, namely, “the station that only has programs about wedding dresses.� At one time, TLC stood for “tender, loving care,� so maybe the choice of initials is deliberate.

There are times when sticking with words would help, such as in the case of WWF, which means World Wildlife Federation, but used to also mean World Wrestling Federation. You wouldn’t want to call the wrong one by mistake if you had some seals you wanted saved.

Many of these companies, like IBM, have been around for decades and their initials are well-known. There is no quarrel with them. But it does seem odd that others are so anxious to abandon perfectly good words.

There is a sports talk show on TV called “Pardon the Interruption.� The words perfectly describe the show, in which two commentators continually interrupt each other. But now it’s known as PTI. There’s another one called “Off the Record,� that is more commonly called OTR. Why? Why go to all the trouble of trying to name a show, a network, a bank, and then abandon it to sink in a sea of alphabet soup?

Definitely Not the Opera was a clever title for a Saturday afternoon CBC radio show.

DNTO is not a clever title.

Sometimes substituting initials for words doesn’t even save syllables. There is a legendary ice cream joint in Winnipeg called the Bridge Drive-In. It’s right beside a bridge, so

the name is evocative. But the initials, BDI, aren’t. There has to be a reasonable explanation.

One answer you hear is that the abbreviated name is easier to use as an Internet address, and indeed you will see this if you look up some companies on the web. As if it weren’t already ruining our lives in other ways, the Internet now has yet another thing to answer for.

It’s funny how we’ve always been taught how important words are, how anxious our parents were to hear us speak them. And now this. Guys: use your words.

Provincial title for Stittsville

Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville 56ers Girls Squirt Softball Selects softball team is the provincial champion.

The team, comprised of players born in 2001 and 2002, won five straight games, including the championship final against Topham Park Selects, to clinch the Ontario title.

The championship final started out as a defensive battle with a scoreless tie lasting through the first three and a half innings. But then the 56ers bats took over as the 56ers broke through in the bottom of the fourth inning, piling up five runs with solid hitting and base running from Maiya Tisdale, Isabella Halliday and Allison Cooney.

As if a five run inning were not enough, the 56ers broke open the game in the next inning with an eight run outburst. The hit parade included live drives from Madison Sachs, Allison Cooney, Lauren Daize, Kylie Hughes and Annabel Wight. When it was all said and done in the game, the Stittsville 56ers emerged with a 13-0 victory and the provincial title.

Lauren Daize of the 56ers was named MVP on the strength of her shutout pitching and strong hitting.

The 56ers had made it to the championship final by chalking up four straight victories in the provincial tournament which was held in Unionville just north of Toronto on the weekend of Aug. 17/18.

In round robin play on a sunny, warm opening day on Saturday, Aug.

17, the Stittsville 56ers defeated the Mississauga South West team thanks to good hitting and solid pitching from Kylie Hughes, a first year player with the team. Lauren Daize was named as the game’s MVP thanks to a grand slam homer in the second inning.

The 56ers second round robin game against the Etobicoke Selects team was a nail biter with the 56ers emerging with a hard fought 6-3 victory. Lauren Daize, the team’s second year pitcher, and catcher Mackenzie Dicks led the team to this win while Jordyn Lindsay chipped in with a great catch at first base when she snagged a speeding line drive.

Sunday morning, Aug. 18, saw the Stittsville 56ers Selects play two elimination games, both of which resulted in victories. The 56ers defeated the Whitby Selects and the Etobicoke Selects (for the second time in the tournament). In these elimination games, the 56ers got solid fielding from Madison Cowan, Annabel Wight and Mackenzie Dicks. There was also timely hitting and alert base running from Madison Sachs, Avery Batchelar and Maiya Tisdale along with strong pitching from Lauren Daize and Kylie Hughes. This all resulted in the Stittsville 56ers Selects advancing to the championship final against Topham Park Selects.

Participation in the provincial championship tournament was the culmination of the season for this Stittsville 56ers Girls Squirt Softball

Selects team.

The season for the team had started back in May with team tryouts and early season practices. In early summer tournament play, the 56ers played to a third place finish at the Port Perry Rep tournament. The 56ers followed this up with a first place finish in the Whitby tournament where the team won all four

of its games including a victory over Topham Park in the finals.

This tournament success helped the 56ers realize that the team would have a chance at the season ending annual provincial championship.

That’s when the players and coaches set to work, practicing hard over the rest of the summer in preparation for the provincial championship tourna-

ment.

Indeed, the Stittsville 56ers Girls Squirt Softball Selects team members would like to thank their coaches who dedicated the past summer to preparing the team for the provincial tournament. The players thank head coach Kevin Daize and assistant coaches Dion Dicks, Robb Wight and Greg Hughes.

‘Sea of blue’ coming to Stittsville Main Street John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

like an inatable obstacle course.

And what about those signs that have appeared along Stittsville Main Street in the past week and will be in evidence for the Kidney Walk - not the big signs publicizing the Walk but the smaller signs, each featuring a number.

These are the mystery numbers that walks will be on the lookout for during the Walk.

At registration time, each walker will be giv-

en a number. When the walker spots that particular number, the walker simply has to drop into the business and pick up perhaps a small prize or perhaps a donation to the Walk.

This mystery number concept is unique to this Kidney Walk in Stittsville as it was conceived and developed by Ruth Richardson, one of the organizers for the Walk.

It is meant to be a way not only of involving the business community

along Stittsville Main Street in the walk but also to give these businesses some exposure to the walkers. A win/win scenario.

This Kidney Walk in Stittsville is one of 43 communities in Ontario which are hosting a Kidney Walk this year. Others range from Barrie to Chatham to Cornwall to Guelph to Kapuskasing to North Bay to Pembroke to Renfrew to Thunder Bay and more.

For this year’s second

annual Kidney Walk in Stittsville, the fundraising goal has been increased due to the success of last year’s walk when the fundraising goal of $10,000 was exceeded. This year the goal has been set higher, at $15,000, and already online, over $6,000 has been raised.

But there is still a need for more walkers and more donors as the $15,000 goal will not be met unless as many as possible get on board.

Stittsville has a number of kidney patients struggling with kidney disease as well as transplant donors and recipients who wish to give back. Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, one of the organizers, is herself a kidney transplant recipient.

Among those involved this year are Mary Anne Graham and her husband Bill who live in Stittsville.

Mary Anne donated one of her kidneys to Bill and so they are big supporters of organ donations and

News - A “sea of blue� will be rolling along Stittsville Main Street this Sunday, Sept. 8.

It will be created by the blue t-shirts being worn by the walkers participating in Stittsville’s second annual Kidney Walk, raising funds for the ďŹ ght against kidney disease while also raising awareness of the need for kidney transplants.

The walk will begin

at 11 a.m. at the church steps of Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road and will then proceed north along Stittsville Main Street to Papa Sam’s at Beverly Street which will be the turning around point. Then, it will be back to the church where there will be Funday Sunday activities including a BBQ sponsored by Stittsville Sobeys, two hours of entertainment by local jazz band Fonograph and various children’s activities

the Kidney Foundation.

One in ten Canadians suffers from kidney disease while many others are at risk.

Nearly 10,000 Ontario residents depend on dialysis treatments while over 1,000 people in Ontario are waiting for a kidney transplant. In addition, many others are living with reduced kidney function.

The Kidney Foundation works to improve the lives of people affected by kidney disease through supporting research, advocating with government, peer support, education and programs.

For more information about Stittsville’s Kidney Walk this coming Sunday, Sept. 8, please contact Elizabeth Hochester-Hurst at 613-8366847, Ruth Richardson at 613-836-8735 or Craig Dunbar, a Stittsville resident and kidney disease patient who works for the Kidney Foundation, at 613-724-9953, ext. 4562.

Stittsville Vikings are 2013 champions Special to the News

Sports - Even the fierce Vikings of long ago would no doubt have been in awe of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) U14 girls soccer team that not only bore the Viking name but also finished out its season with an awesome performance in the year-end tournament, much in keeping with the Viking lore of supremacy and conquest.

But the 2013 season did not begin this way at all for the WOSC U14 Stittsville Vikings girls soccer team.

Indeed, the team recorded only two wins in eight games in its first two months of competition.

However, then the Stittsville Vikings caught fire and went undefeated in their final ten games.

What a turnaround! What an example of a team coming together slowly and then going on a roll!

At the year-end tournament on the weekend of August 17/18, the Vikings did not surrender a single goal in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five games. And the Vikings won the final game and the championship in a game that included not only

two overtime periods but also seven rounds of penalty kicks, with the Vikings emerging as

victors.

What a way to end a season, with a championship that

completed the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uphill battle from its early losing days to its later days of domi-

nance.

The Stittsville Vikings U14 girls soccer team are 2013

West Ottawa Soccer Club champions thanks to a memorable season.

Tenth time for annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour Special to the News

News - This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stittsville Artists Studio Tour marks the tenth year that this annual event is happening.

This is an occasion when each participating artist opens up her home to visitors who can drop in and see the artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on display in the home and also see where the artist creates the art. The tour also gives members

of the public an opportunity to chat with local artists about their work and also, if a certain piece of art is appealing, to even acquire that piece of art.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tour will take place on Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. Artists taking part in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenth annual Stittsville Artists Studio

Tour include Diane Dean, Bernice Wills, Vera van Baaren, Josie Braden, Judy Dana and Frances Taylor. The Stittsville Artists Studio Tour website at www.stittsvillestudiotour.com has a map showing the location of the six artists involved in the tour: Josie Braden at 19 Glen Abbey Court in Amberwood; Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court and Bernice

Wills at 7 Plainfield Court, both in Amberwood as well; Frances Taylor at 13 Kintail Court; Judy Dana at 37 Shipley Crescent; and Diane Dean at 181 Hartsmere Drive.

Those taking the tour can visit these artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; homes following any route and timing that they wish. In that context, this is very much a selfguided tour.

There is absolutely no cost to take part in the tour. The artists very much appreciate your interest and welcome one and all.

The Stittsville Artists Studio Tour is organized by the participating artists themselves, with each artist volunteering to take on certain duties related to the tour to ensure its success.

‘Be Your Best’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s a place where children learn not only the skills and talents of the performing arts stage but also the confidence and life skills of the world’s stage.

The “Be Your Best Confidence Building Acting School,” which is coming to Stittsville this fall with an inaugural offering of three different classes, uses the power of the performing arts to allow a child to build confidence, be creative, develop communication and presentation skills, gain leadership skills and make friends and inspire others. All of this happens not only in a safe and supportive environment but also in a fun environment.

And it works! Just ask founder and director Jennifer Lea Laale who has been doing it for 18 years now and knows that building confidence, character, leadership and life skills through the performing arts works.

She has been offering “Be Your Best” performing arts classes in Almonte and Carleton Place as well as various related workshops throughout the area, including a recent session at Westwind Public School in Stittsville. Indeed, it was the reaction that she received from students at Westwind Public School and their inquiries about her classes that inspired her to begin offering her classes this fall in Stittsville.

Jennifer points out that she uses the tools of the performing arts and improv to build confidence and life skills in her students.

“The power of the performing arts and improv is incredible for this,” she says, pointing out that “it’s like action learning.” And all this happens while the students are having fun. What could be better?

While she has had some of her students over the years go on to performance or acting careers, this is the exception. But what is universal is that her students use the life skills that they learn in the classes to advance in their careers, to enhance their social lives and to make a difference in the world. Her classes in the performing arts end up transforming lives.

Jennifer says that her classes provide a strong foundation in the performing arts themselves but that underlying it all, the classes are developing priceless life skills that the children will use throughout their lives. She readily admits that this is her focus.

But it’s all done with fun very much in the equation.

“It’s laughter and learning at the same time,” she says.

Indeed, Jennifer’s motto for her classes says it all: “Think positively, act kindly, be all you can be while having fun.”

Improv is a part of all of her teaching because of its many advantages, helping a child let go of fear, build trust, develop listening skills and promote the acceptance of the ideas of others. She points out that a key to successful improv is making your partner look good, noting that this is the opposite of bullying and that’s why improv instruction is a good way of combating bullying.

Elder Abuse and Fraud Seminar

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Jennifer Lea Laale, founder and director of “Be Your Best Confidence Building Acting School,” is looking forward to the start of “Be Your Best” classes in Stittsville this fall.

Jennifer also emphasizes kindness and indeed, she says that kindness becomes contagious in her classes.

She says that children get to see that they can have a role in eliminating bullying one kind act at a time.

This can create a ripple effect and, indeed, it can start with just one person whose actions can eventually change a whole school environment.

Jennifer points to Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s iconic leader, and his words as inspiration for this.

These come from his 1994 inauguration speech and she even distributes these words with her promotional materials. The quote is as follows: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask our-

selves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are the child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make Manifest the Glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Jennifer says that just one person who lets their light shine, as Nelson Mandela suggests, can affect a large number of people over time.

Students come to the “Be Your Best Confidence Building Acting School” from various perspectives.

Some need a confidence boost because of their shyness and insecurity.

Others are oozing with energy and creativity and “Be Your Best” provides the outlet that they need.

But whatever the reason for participating, they all have one thing result in common and it’s something that parents readily see – it is growth in confidence, creativity, communication, leadership and life skills in general. Jennifer has 18 years seeing this happen and she knows that the power of the performing arts works – it develops confidence and life skills in children.

Jennifer finds that her classes attract both boys and girls. She finds that boys tend to gravitate more to the improv side of things as it allows them to make things up on the spot and provides a lot of creative freedom. There’s also a lot of humour.

She finds that girls tend to like the musical theatre and “Glee” type instruction but she is finding that boys are starting to enjoy this as well.

One thing that Jennifer banishes from her classes is the word “can’t.”

She says that that is one four letter word that is simply not allowed in her classes. She firmly believes that with practice, anything is possible.

“Practice makes progress,” is her mantra.

Jennifer is starting off in Stittsville by offering three different classes, covering children aged 6 to 15 years old. She admits that she is “sort of sticking my toe in” with these intro-

ductory offerings but that she will bring other classes to Stittsville depending on the interest expressed.

She notes as well that she offers a full range of classes in Almonte and Carleton Place which are open to Stittsville area children as well.

Her class offerings in Stittsville, which have proven to be the most popular ones in other communities, include an introduction to the performing arts for those aged 6 to 10.

This is an opportunity for these children to try everything and to start to build up confidence.

Another of her classes in Stittsville will be an improv class for those aged 10 to 15 years old. This exposes the participants to team building lessons and life skills development.

Jennifer also has a number of other classes which could be offered in the future, depending on what are the interests of those in the community.

These even include adult classes and parent/child classes as well as film and TV classes.

The classes in Stittsville will be offered in the basement hall at St. Thomas Anglican Church on Thursdays after school. The fall session will run for ten weeks, from Sept. 19 to the beginning of December. The winter session will run for 12 weeks, beginning in February and ending in May. She feels that her fees are reasonable, partly because she holds her classes in church halls which helps keep expenses down.

Jennifer is holding two open house meet and greet evenings where parents and children can learn about her “Be Your Best” program and the classes being offered. One of these is happening on Thursday, Sept. 5 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to drop in for a chat with Jennifer and learn more about the Be Your Best Confidence Building Performing Arts School.

Another similar open house will be held on Thursday, Sept. 12, again from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville.

Information about the Be Your Best Confidence Building Performing Arts School can also be obtained by checking the website www.beyourbest.ca or by calling Jennifer Lea Laale at 613-256-8228.

Complex world, portrayed simply John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Its art that represents the world of theatre, that complex world of actors, audiences, volunteers and props.

But the challenge going in was how to portray such a complex and magical world in a single work of public art.

Stittsville artist Lynda Cronin, though, did it with her sculpture called ShapeShifter and she did it by going simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to keep it quite modern and simple,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Cronin said about the sculpture which now stands right at the front of the Ottawa Little Theatre at 400 King Edward Avenue in downtown Ottawa.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what she did in developing the concept and then carrying it out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I simplified it and simplified it,â&#x20AC;? she said, arriving at a public art sculpture that conveys the magic of the world of theatre while also celebrating the work of the Ottawa Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many volunteers through a portrayal of the props that are so essential in live theatre.

The sculpture was officially unveiled at the Ottawa Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cornerstone Event on Sunday, Aug. 25 marking the closing of the Ottawa Little Theatreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100th season and celebrating the efforts of its volunteers (the human cornerstones of the Ottawa Little Theatre) over the past 100 years.

SUBMITTED The sculpture involves three nine Stittsville artist Lynda Cronin stands with her public art sculpture called foot tall pillars, each one topped off â&#x20AC;&#x153;ShapeShifterâ&#x20AC;? at the front of the Ottawa Little Theatre in Ottawa. The with silhouette art â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a prop of some sculpture was officially unveiled in a ceremony on Sunday, Aug. 25. sort that represents the magical act

of transformation that pervades live theatre.

One pillar has a tea pot on top, representing the myriad of conversations that take place in the theatre between actor, writer and audience. Vintage typewriter type bars using single upper and lower case letters spell out the text â&#x20AC;&#x153;OLT Players.â&#x20AC;? And the tea pot is adorned on its top with a porcelain doll carrying two water buckets, replenishing the pot. Yes, theatre and its conversations go on and on.

Another pillar features at its top a mandolin playing a tune cognizant of a mood while digits at its centre are frozen in time. Emerging from the top of the mandolin is a phantom glass light fixture that illuminates its surroundings. The idea behind this mandolin pillar is that music, light and timing all combine to create the mood and ambiance of a theatre.

The third pillar features a bird cage shaped like a spire that is meant to represent the spirit of theatre. At its apex there is a whale or fish that can freely swim and explore its surroundings as well as a flower.

Ms. Cronin was selected last year to undertake this public art sculpture.

In developing her concept for the art, she came to realize that there are many props (such as a tea pot, mandolin and bird cage) used in theatre, making props interesting vehicles of imagery.

This focus on props allowed her to come up with a sculpture that was very simple in its imagery which was what her goal was to begin with.

It took a number of months for her to develop the concept and determine the best fabrication methods to create the sculpture.

This ShapeShifter sculpture is meant to represent the magical act of transformation or â&#x20AC;&#x153;ShapeShiftingâ&#x20AC;? that happens in the theatre. There is a magical aspect to props as they transform in meaning and interpretation with each different theatrical presentation.

The sculpture is meant to show the transformative power of props to create an ever changing world on the stage.

The work also is meant to celebrate the efforts of the many volunteers of the Ottawa Little Theatre who dedicate their time to making an imaginary world come to life, partly through the use of props which can change an environment and can give meaning to the activities that take place in live theatre.

The props depicted in this public art sculpture are specific props but they are meant to represent the whole world of theatre.

Ms. Cronin used Andrew Soferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Stage Life of Propsâ&#x20AC;? in understanding props and how they are used in the theatre. One phrase from the book talking about props is particularly pertinent: â&#x20AC;&#x153;enlivened by the actors touch, charged by the playwrights dialogue, and quickened in the spectators imagination.â&#x20AC;? This shows the major role that props play in the theatre and how they are intertwined with all that happens.

Each year going forward, a group of Ottawa Little Theatre volunteers will receive special recognition by having their names placed on this sculpture which is at the entrance to the theatre.

The names of the first ten volunteers to be so honoured on the sculpture at its unveiling on Sunday, Aug. 25 are William (Bill) Adkins, Sybil May Cooke, Elizabeth (Betty) Cruikshank, Florence Fancott, Ted Fancott, William (Bill) Glenn, Michael Meiklejohn, Jane Murray, Gladys Cameron and Dorothy White.

Ms. Cronin, as an artist, has been involved with other public art projects. Recently, she created some of the banners which are on the light standards along the now-four lane Hazeldean Road from Carp Road to the Carp River bridge.

She and another artist also collaborated on creating the mosaics that can be seen at the en-

trance to the Centrepointe Theatre in Nepean.

The Ottawa Little Theatre, originally called the Ottawa Drama League when it began in 1913, is the longest-running community theatre company in Canada. It recovered from a disastrous fire in 1970 that destroyed the theatre. It was rebuilt, though, and currently presents a number of plays each year, ranging from comedies to dramas to romantic plays.

The actors are volunteers, not professionals, which is what helps make for a unique theatre experience.

A number of Canadian actors and performers have performed on the Ottawa Little Theatre stage before they achieved fame, including Dan Aykroyd, Rich Little, Adam Beach and Michael Burgess.

The Friendship Club is holding a luncheon on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at noon at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville.

Menu will include chicken cacciatoire,

salad, bread, tea, coffee and dessert.

Entertainment by Fordie. To reserve a seat at this luncheon, please phone Gloria at 613-831-8819 or Rosemary at 613-836-6354

News - A new outreach program of the Glen Cairn United Church is now available to residents of Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn as well as others in the west Ottawa area.

This program, known as “The Oasis in Kanata,” will provide information and support for caregivers and friends of loved one with a mental illness.

While the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) currently offers such caregivers and others short-term and crisis counseling, “The Oasis in Kanata” program will be offering ongoing information and support to such caregivers.

Cathy Jordan, WOCRC executive director, is fully supportive of the new program.

“Here at the Resource

Centre, we see that services are limited in our geographic area, and we see the strain this places on caregivers,” she says. “Congratulations to Glen Cairn United Church for taking leadership to fill this gap and strengthen the system of support for caregivers.”

“The Oasis in Kanata” will be hosting its first information and support evening on Monday, Sept. 23 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata.

At this session, Sheila Deighton, a caregiver herself and a facilitator of the Strengthening Families Together program, will lead an interactive evening entitled “Mental Illness: A Family’s Journey.”

She will be looking at the daily challenges faced by families and friends support-

Everyone who cares for someone with a mental illness is urged to attend this special evening.

Floats wanted for Fair parade Special to the News

News - The annual parade is always one of the highlights of the Richmond Fair.

And it should be again this year but this only happens because local organizations, clubs, groups, businesses and others enter floats in the parade.

And so the Richmond Fair is once again looking for floats for the Fair parade.

The parade will take place on Saturday, Sept. 21, leaving from South Carleton High School at 11 a.m. and travelling along McBean Street and then along Perth Street in front of the fairgrounds.

All float entries are most heartily welcomed for the parade.

For more information about entering a float in this year’s Fair parade or to register your float in the parade, please email richmondfairparade@gmail.com or call 613-838-3420.

News - Mayor Jim Watson downplayed the possibility the province could say “no dice” after city council voted to require gambling to stay at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

The 16-7 vote on Aug. 28 means the city council wants the rural raceway to be the only location for gambling facilities in Ottawa. The size of the facility would be limited to the 1,250 slots machines that are already at the raceway and the 21 gaming tables council previously approved as a two-year pilot project.

The mayor said he couldn’t predict how the province and Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation would react to the city’s statement that it will only accept gambling at the raceway. Watson pointed out that Kingston excluded its historic downtown core from having a casino located there and Hamilton said it would only accept a casino at its racetrack at Flamboro Downs.

“I would be very surprised if all of a sudden the province or OLG came back and said, ‘I’m sorry, we’re not going to follow through on what you asked for,’” Watson said. “We just received the letter on Monday that in essence, confirmed the province’s position that we have one zone, but also that we have the right to make a decision as to where in that zone the gaming facility can be.”

Although the OLG had previously expressed that the intent of its gambling modernization plan was to bring gaming to where people live – urban centres – Watson

said that was under a different leadership.

“A lot has changed,” he said. “There is new premier who is not as enthusiastic, to put it bluntly, about gaming. Certainly in discussions I’ve had, she has reaffirmed with me our right and our responsibility to choose a location that we feel meets the community’s needs.”

The seven councillors who voted against accepting a casino and limiting its location to the raceway were: David Chernushenko (Capital), Diane Deans (Gloucester-Southgate), Mathieu Fleury (Rideau-Vanier), Jan Harder (Barrhaven), Diane Holmes (Somerset), Shad Qadri (Stittsville) and Marianne Wilkinson (Kanata North). Council voted against approving that 6.5 per cent of Ottawa’s take of the casino revenue go to the public health department to boost gambling prevention and outreach efforts.

Councillor Wilkinson tried to have the casino vote delayed to another meeting so council could receive a report on the Ontario Horse Racing Industry Panel’s recommended funding for the raceway and the annual rental revenue the city could receive from that. She said council has moved rather quickly from preferring a full, open process to being specific about the site. The risk of benefitting one business over another opens the city up to a more serious lawsuit than councillors realize, she said.

“That’s not the way we normally operate and that’s not the way it should be,” Wilkinson said, adding the move could put the city in a “precarious position” because the legal department has indicated their could be a possible problem.

“I don’t think councillors are thinking

this through,” Wilkinson said.

Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said after the finance committee’s Aug. 26 vote that he could not understand why the city was willing to vote to benefit the raceway property owners at the expense of any other business or property in the city, including his proposal for a casino and entertainment district at Canadian Tire Centre.

Melnyk said his lawyer, Paul Webber, has said what the city is doing is “inappropriate and possibly illegal” and alluded to possible legal action against the city.

Casino proponents on council say the bidding process is open and have suggested Melynk could bid to operate gambling facilities on any site, including at the raceway.

“We need to be cautious and maybe overt that we are not closed for business,” said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor. “It doesn’t mean we’re not interested in helping them be economically viable and successful.”

Councillor Qadri, who has supported Melnyk’s bid for a casino in his ward, said adding only 21 gaming tables would make the raceway “a casino in name only.”

“Adding 21 gaming tables will not ensure success on its own or allow it to compete with Lac Leamy,” he said, adding that the vote would divide the business community and isolate other business interests.

The mayor said the decision was within the committee’s purview to make.

“I knew Mr. Melnyk would be disappointed, but we do have the authority given to us by the OLG to be site specific, or whatever the equivalent opposite of site specific is,” Watson said after the finance committee vote.

Construction is scheduled to start the week of September 16, 2013. The project involves the realignment of the north leg of Shea Road by approximately 90m to the east and a single lane roundabout at Fernbank Road and Shea Road. This project is intended to reach completion by summer of 2014.

Construction activities may at times temporarily redirect trafďŹ c through the site. Two trafďŹ c lanes will be maintained for the large majority of the project duration, but may be reduced to one lane during certain critical phases of the work.

Another construction project that residents should be aware of is the resurfacing of Eagleson Road, from Cope Drive and Hazeldean Road, beginning likely this week or next and completed by mid-November. Further, we will be adding a paved shoulder to Fowler Street between Strachan Street and Royal York Street. This will provide an enlarged and safer area for students walking to and from St. Phillipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic School.

Construction on this should begin shortly as well.

TrafďŹ c Calming Pilot Project Many residents in the North Gower area have likely noticed a trafďŹ c calming pilot project on Church Street. This pilot project involves placing signs in the middle of the road aimed at curbing speeding. The City of Ottawa has placed these in twelve locations across the city and will evaluate their effectiveness between the time they were installed and November. So far, they seem to be working based on results of the ďŹ rst speed survey, conducted August 21st. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;beforeâ&#x20AC;? speed survey was conducted on June 18th and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;afterâ&#x20AC;? results showed a reduction in average speed of 8km/h, from 52km/h to 44km/h. Speed limit compliance was 2% before and 40% after the signs were put in place. Two more speed surveys will be conducted between now and November. As this is a pilot project, any feedback is helpful, whether positive or negative. Feedback can be provided directly to me at Scott.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

August 30th, 2013 FERNBANK ROAD AND SHEA ROAD ROUNDABOUT Construction is scheduled to start the week of September 16, 2013. The project involves the realignment of the north leg of Shea Road by approximately 90m to the east and a single lane roundabout at Fernbank Road and Shea Road. This project is intended to reach completion by summer of 2014.

As part of this contract, Karson Konstruction is assuming full responsibility for the construction work until it is entirely completed. Any damage to your lawn or driveway as a result of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work will be repaired as soon as possible, at no cost to you.

Temporary traffic-related modifications Construction activities may at times temporarily redirect traffic through the site. Two traffic lanes will be maintained for the large majority of the project duration, but may be reduced to one lane during certain critical phases of the work. OC Transpo bus service will not be impacted by this work.

Building Survey You may feel vibrations due to heavy equipment use or rock removal during the construction. This is quite common and not usually a problem. However, you may want to complete a survey of your property, including photographs, before the work starts to record the condition of your building.

The contractor is required by the City to carry liability insurance before any work may proceed. You may be asked by the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insurance agent for permission to survey your property before the work commences, as contractors typically carry out pre-construction inspections prior to undertaking construction activities adjacent to properties. It is to your benefit to have this inspection conducted on your property.

If you have any questions about the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspections or concerns about property damages, please call Karson Konstruction at 613-978-4458.

NOTICE OF WORK Starting in September, Hydro Ottawa will begin a project to re-locate and install new hydro poles at the intersection of Fernbank Road and Shea Road, in conjunction with the City of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fernbank and Shea Road single-lane roundabout and road realignment rehabilitation work.

Traffic control and lane closures may be in effect when required in order to ensure that roads and driveways remain accessible and safe to residents and staff. Qualified staff and contractors will conduct this work safely and efficiently, ensuring that any inconvenience is minimal.

Work on this project is tentatively scheduled to commence the first week of September and continue until the end of October 2013.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Andy Welmers at 613738-5499 ext. 7354 or via email, AndyWelmers@hydroottawa.com.

Hall of Fame fiddler performing in Stittsville John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - One of North America’s most renowned fiddlers will be performing at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville on Friday evening, Sept. 13.

He will be playing with the traditional bluegrass group Dusty Strings which will be back for another performance at the Gaia Java shop after performing there at a Friday music evening in early July.

Peter regularly plays with Dusty Strings but he has other performance demands on his time as well which is why he was not with the Dusty Strings group at its earlier performance.

Indeed, area residents will have a second opportunity to hear and see this iconic fiddler right after this Gaia Java shop performance as he will be performing at this year’s Richmond Fair which happens the following week.

Peter Dawson was inducted into the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame in 2005 and is also an inductee into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.

He has numerous CD’s to his credit and has composed many fiddle tunes including reels, jigs, waltzs, polkas, and rags. His compositions include Mrs. Watson’s Henhouse, Gatineau Reel, Timbertown, Owl In

The Henhouse, Valley Girl Waltz and Jordon’s Reel, among others.

Peter Dawson grew up in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, starting to fiddle at the age of five.

In the 1940’s and early 1950’s, he and his band played at dances throughout southern B.C. and also appeared regularly on radio.

In 1954, he joined up with Bob Regan and Lucille Starr touring Canada and working the night club circuit in Toronto. In Toronto, he appeared on TV shows such as CBC’s Country Hoedown and Hamilton’s

Mainstreet Jamboree.

Peter played on the original record of “The French Song,” a folk song recorded by Lucille Starr which began an international hit.

Peter went on to be associated with the Wheeling Jamboree at radio station WWVA in wheeling, West Virginia. During this time, he also appeared on the Arthur Godfrey show in New York City and performed as a back-up musician on the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

He also met famed Grad Ole Opry comedian Lazy Jim Day, famed guitarist Lenny Breau, Faron Young,

Mac Wiseman, Doc Williams, Byron Berline, Louisiana fiddler Rufus Thibideau and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Returning to Canada in the early 1960’s, Peter became involved in the restoration and repairing of violins. He also composed and recorded many fiddle tunes at this time. His tunes have been recorded by other fiddlers across North America and Europe.

Peter Dawson will be performing with Dusty Strings at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville

Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Friday, Sept. 13 starting at 7 p.m. These Friday music evenings are free and open to everyone.

However, early arrival is advised for the best seating.

Other members of Dusty Strings, a bluegrass group, include Vic Chartrand on banjo and mandolin, Mavis Mason on bass, Bernie Mason on guitar and Don Hill on Dobro guitar.

The Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java shop have not been held during the month of August but are resuming in September.

Garden flourishing at Richmond Lodge John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s an eight foot tall tomato plant - you could almost say a tomato tree - loaded with tomatoes that is getting all the attention these days in the garden at the Richmond Lodge retirement residence in Richmond.

And while this plant has a unique story and is soaring above the other plants and flowers in the garden area at the Perth Street facility, it is really the whole garden, with its variety of vegetables and flowers, that is eye-catching for both residents and visitors. And it’s all thanks to one resident, 80 year old Peter Claessen, who has spent many hours working in the garden, often on his hands and knees, working with the soil.

Peter, though, who was born in Holland, the second oldest of a family of seven, comes by his green thumb naturally as his father and uncles were all gardeners and he learned from them , although he ad-

mits that his father preferred working with homing pigeons rather than gardening.

Peter, a tailor by trade, came to Canada in 1951, becoming a specialist in military tailoring and also operating his own custom tailoring shop in Ottawa.

In the 1960s and 1970s when he lived in Nepean, he had his own greenhouse behind his garage, so you know that gardening has always been a big part of his life.

At the Richmond Lodge, Peter looks after the garden as well as the flowers around the gazebo that is beside the garden and just outside the Lodge’s dining area as well as the flower pots at the front of the building.

This is the third year that Peter has looked after the garden, ever since he has been residing at the Richmond Lodge. While he uses sheep manure, peat moss and compost to help the garden grow, he does something different for the rose bushes – he puts

banana peels around them, claiming that this helps them bloom.

He weeds the garden once every two weeks.

Peter says that he has never had any plant as tall as the eight foot tomato plant this year.

The plant’s story goes back to last fall when Peter found a two inch seedling while cleaning up in the garden. He set it in the window of his room, watering it once a week. After Christmas, it began to grow and by March, it had reached the ceiling.

At the beginning of April, Peter moved the plant outside, frost or no frost.

“I said either do or die,” he says about this decision.

He hung a bed sheet around it one night when there was a danger of frost but other than that, it was a matter of taking a chance and although the frost did hit it, the plant survived and, as evidenced by its amazing height and harvest, has flourished.

Among the riders in this year’s event, both doing the 100 kilometer

distance, will be Richmond residents Shawn Grant and Jon Minogue, participating as the Scotia Slowspokes team. They have set a total fundraising goal of $5,000 for themselves for the event.

Anyone who would like to support Shawn and Jon through a donation can do so in a secure and easy online

way by going to the website www. ridetherideau.ca, clicking on “Give,” and then going to the Scotia Slowspokes team page.

News - There’s going to be bicycles galore in Richmond this Saturday, Sept. 7.

That’s because the Ride the Rideau bicycle ride raising funds for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital will not only be passing through Richmond on its 100 kilometer route to Merrickville but also will be using the Richmond fairgrounds as the finishing point for its new 50 kilometer route.

So, there’s going to be plenty of bicycles and riders in Richmond, all helping raise funds for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital while enjoying a non-competitive long distance cycling event.

In just three years, this Ride the Rideau bicycle event has become the most successful single-day cancer fundraiser in Eastern Ontario, with more than $4.4 million raised since it began.

The funds raised by this Ride the Rideau bicycle ride have helped fund new therapies and the opening of the Centre for Innovative Cancer Research (CICR) at The Ottawa Hospital while also enabling patients to benefit from clinical trials faster than previously.

It was in 2011 that the new stateof-the-art cancer research centre (CICR) opened its doors at The Ottawa Hospital. Researchers at The Ottawa Hospital are breaking new ground with new cancer-killing viruses, personalized therapies based on genetics and cancer prevention.

There are currently 200 cancerrelated clinic trials underway at The Ottawa Hospital’s cancer centre which care for approximately 24,000 patients a year.

This year is the first year that the Ride the Rideau bike ride is offering the 50 kilometer route option which sees the ride end in Richmond. The 100 kilometer route passes through Richmond but then continues on to Merrickville where it ends.

The Ride the Rideau bike ride begins this Saturday, Sept. 7 at the new Ernst & Young Centre near the Ottawa Airport where participants will be able to enjoy a breakfast while also being able to access bicycle safety checks and on-site mechanics.

Both the longer 100 kilometer route ending in Merrickville and the new shorter 50 kilometer route ending at Richmond will see participants have access to pit stops along the way where they can top up with water and get help if needed.

The routes also will have ride

Richmond Lodge resident Peter Claessen holds one of the many tomatoes which are growing on the giant tomato plant that is in the garden at the Lodge.

Continued from page 31

The garden has seen quite a transformation since Peter arrived at the Richmond Lodge three years ago. At that time, he wondered whether the area was a garden patch or a dump, as there were plants growing on top of each other.

Through his work, he has rectified all of this, so the garden and its plants and flowers are organized and orderly.

There’s lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, loveage, chives and various varieties of tomatoes including beefsteak, cherry and brandy. Flowers include roses, geraniums, sedum, day lilies, clematis and more.

In the winter, he concentrates on reading and writing while waiting for the arrival of spring.

He has a pair of wooden shoes which he can wear, a throwback to his youth when he wore them during the war years, so much so that he even wore a hole through the wood.

“It’s an everlasting hobby,” Peter says about his gardening and while there is some concern that he may not continue with it next year due to his advancing age and the work involved, down on his hands and knees, you sense that he loves to do it.

He notes that the Richmond Lodge residents enjoy the garden and flowers and it gives everyone at the Lodge something to talk about. He admits that the gardening is interesting, so don’t be surprised if he is back at it again next year. After all, he may have a nine foot tall tomato plant next year – who knows?

Turin hosts 2013 World Master Games Paul Walker

Special to the News

Sports – In early August, an estimated 50,000 athletes, coaches and fans, including a women’s soccer team with players from Stittsville and Kanata, converged on the northwestern Italian city of Turin for the 2013 World Masters Games.

These Games are an event organized every four years in a different host country for competitors aged 35 to 70 and beyond where they compete against peers from around the world.

This year nearly 20,000 athletes from 107 countries participated in 17 different sports ranging from cycling to track and field to soccer to swimming.

Among these athletes who travelled to Turin where they encountered record setting temperatures and humidity was a team of 15 women and four coaches known as the Ottawa Renegades. The Renegades were one of 18 teams competing in the over age 45 women’s competitive soccer category. Soccer, by the way, is known as football in Italy.

The 2013 Ottawa Renegades consisted of players Maggie Brunton, Tina Bucciarelli, Liz Buchanan, Lee Ekstrom, Tina Elliot, Karen Irving, Virgina Legault, Angie Paterson, Tammy Solymar, Jill Southgate, Ann Therriault, Claire Warnock, Denise Walker, Jindalee Webb and Sandi Wendsink. The coaches were Rene Solymar, Richard Warnock, George Brunton and Jack Wendsink.

Although women’s soccer in North America is popular, with one study estimating over six million women participating in the sport in the United States alone, it is still relatively uncommon to see female soccer leagues in Europe. As a result, it

was somewhat ironic that the Renegades travelled almost 7,000 kilometers from Ottawa to Turin to compete against teams primarily from Canada and the United States. But the experience was still awesome as it was very common for the Renegades players to encounter competitors from all over the world at different sporting venues or simply when going around Turin as everyone took advantage of their spare time to see the sites of Turin and Italy.

All of the games which the Renegades played in the round robin portion of the competition were played at Polisportiva Dilettanti Santa Rita Stadium.

The Renegades were on the field for their first round robin game on Friday, Aug. 2 at 5:45 p.m. against the Gold Strikers from Sacramento, California. Thanks to first game jitters playing on such a world stage, the Renegades ended up losing 2-0.

On Saturday, Aug. 3, the Ren-

egades did not play as the opening ceremony of these 2013 World Masters Games was held. In this ceremony, thousands of athletes paraded through the streets of Turin, going from Piazza Vittorio Veneto to Piazza Castello. It was a colourful display of athletes from all of the various sporting events, along with marching bands, shows by local Italian performers and youth.

The Renegades were back on the field on Sunday, Aug. 4 for their second game of the round robin, this time taking on their most far-away opponents, the Sydney Siders from Sydney, Australia. The Renegades won this game 4-0 on goals by Virginia Legault, Maggie Brunton, Tammy Solymar and Liz Buchanan.

Indeed, the first goal of the game and the Renegades’ first goal of the competition came from a spectacular corner kick by Virginia Legault.

On Monday, Aug. 5, at 9:30 p.m., under the glare of stadium lights, the Renegades played their third round robin game, going up against the Northern Lights from Edmonton, Alberta.

The Renegades again won by a 4-0 score, with Virginia Legault notching a hat trick and Liz Buchanan scoring the other goal.

On Tuesday, Aug. 6, the Renegades were back on the field at 5:45 p.m. against BC United from Vancouver, B.C. A 3-0 victory over the Renegades was the result as BC United continued its march to an undefeated record in the round robin portion of the tournament.

The Renegades played their final game of the round robin on Wednesday, Aug. 7, taking on the Twisted Sisters team, another squad from Edmonton, Alberta. The Renegades scored a 1-0 victory with Jill Southgate scoring the game’s only goal on

a last minute breakaway.

The round robin competition saw the Renegades place third in their pool behind BC United and the Gold Strikers from California. Based on this position and a point differential, the Renegades advanced to the quarter finals in the over age 45 competitive women’s division of the competition.

On Thursday, Aug. 8 at 7 p.m., the Renegades took to the field for this quarter final game, facing off against the Alberta FC from Edmonton, Alberta. Virginia Legault scored the first goal of the game off a penalty kick but by half time the score was tied 1-1. A scoreless second half meant that the teams went to an immediate five-on-five shootout.

Both Virginia Legault and Ann Therriault scored for the Renegades in the shootout but the Renegades fell one goal short, losing the shootout three games and two.

This close loss was distressing for the team but after a few refreshments during a torrential downpour, the players spirits bounced back. Everyone agreed that having the opportunity to meet so many diverse athletes and people from all over the world, to see some incredible historic sites like Basilica Superga and Mole Antonelliana, to have fun playing seven games on an international stage and to bond as a team thanks to numerous impromptu dinners and tours made this excursion to Italy one of the most rewarding trips of their soccer careers from these players and coaches.

At these 2013 World Masters Games, Canada had the second most competitors, only surpassed by Australia.

This was the eighth edition of the World Masters Games. They are held once every four years. Previous venues have included Toronto in 1985 with 8,300 competitors; Herning, Aalborg and Aarhus in Denmark in 1989 with 5,280 competitors; Brisbane in Australia in 1994 with 23,000 competitors; Portland, Oregon in the United States in 1998 with 12,500 competitors; Melbourne in Australia in 2002 with 25,000 competitors; Edmonton in 2005 with 22,300 competitors; and Sydney, Australia in 2009 with 30,000 competitors.

The core sports of the summer World Masters Games include archery, athletics, badminton, basketball, canoeing, cycling, football (soccer), field hockey, orienteering, rowing, shooting, softball, squash, table tennis and weightlifting.

These 2013 World Masters Games ran in Turin from Aug. 2 to Aug. 11.

These Masters Games attract more athletic participants than any other sporting event in the world.

The world “Masters” is a simple indication of age, not skill level. The only requirement needed to compete are to fulfill the age requirement and to participate in a sport that is taking place in the Games.

As such, the World Masters Games are really a “sports festival,” providing an opportunity for mature athletes to demonstrate that competitive sport can continue throughout life.

Sports - The Bell Warriors are participating in a study gathering data about head impacts.

The Bell Warriors participation is part of the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s Helmet Sensor Pilot Project that will see impact alert sensors placed on 20 players on each team – ten offensive players and ten defensive players. The sensors will be monitored by a research assistant involved with the study who is allocated to the team. The research assistant will be present at every practice and game throughout the 2013 season.

The study will end in November when the data will be collected and sorted.

“The Bell Warriors see this study as an important step forward to better understand objectively, at every age group, the risks of head impact in football,” sais Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart.

He notes that the safety of players is paramount for the Warriors which re-certifies all of

its helmets each year and also spends close to $40,000 each year on top notch equipment for Warrior players.

“It is important that we do everything we can to ensure our coaches are exposed to current safe-contact techniques and we see this study as the next step to ensure we continue efforts to provide safe contact for our players and sport,” Mr. Stewart said.

“It is important that our sport is perceived to be safe,” he added. “It is even more important and critical, however, that we do everything we can to ensure it is.”

The Bell Warriors Football Club offers tackle football programs for boys aged 8 to 17 years who live in the Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Bells Corners, Crystal Beach, Bayshore and Britannia areas.

The Bell Warriors Football Club has been in existence since 1955. It currently has more than 130 players involved, competing at the Tyke, Mosquito, Pee Wee and Bantam levels.

Message board draws attention John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been four years this September since the message board sign was erected at the front of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond.

In that time, the sign and its quirky, funny messages have become popular with passersby, whether those driving along McBean Street or those walking along the McBean Street sidewalks. Even high school students are known to have stopped and snapped a photo of a message on the board on a cell phone.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even the story that a passing motorist was not able to read a whole message because of its length and so the motorist went around the block and passed by the church and sign again so that all of the message could be read.

Finding the messages and putting them up on the sign is the task of Richmond resident Gary Thompson.

He finds the messages on the internet and also in two books which feature such messages. Sometimes he makes up a message or slogan on his own but he always runs these past the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minister before he posts them on the sign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dogs go to Heaven. Cats go to Purrr-gatory!â&#x20AC;? is one of the most recent messages up on the sign.

Gary says that he usually leaves a message up on the sign board for eight to ten days at the most.

A couple of the more memorable ones have been: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honk if you want to talk to the Lord, Text if you want to meet the Lord.â&#x20AC;?; and, in a message to church-goers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;ArJOHN CURRY/METROLAND rive early for a back seat.â&#x20AC;?

The wiring to light the sign has now been put in place Gary Thompson, right, stands beside the sign at the front of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond which he looks after, changing the slogans and messages which appear on the sign. but no lighting has yet been installed.

Sept. 30 deadline for heritage photo contest Special to the News

News – Monday, Sept. 30 is the deadline for the submission of entries to this year’s heritage photo contest being sponsored by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

Up until then, entries can be dropped off at the Stittsville, Richmond and Munster branches of the Ottawa Public Library. Entries must be colour or black and white prints, anything up to 8 x 10 inches in size.

Entries to this “A Snapshot in Time” photo

contest must be original shots taken within the boundaries of the former township of Goulbourn during 2013. They cannot have been previously published or entered in any other contest or showing.

There are five different theme categories, with a photographer allowed to submit up to two entries in each category. Entries should be enclosed in a sealed envelope with each separate photo clearly marked on its back with the location where it was taken, the subject, the name,

address and phone number of the photographer and the theme category being entered.

In addition, brief notes explaining the historical connection of a particular shot are welcomed. Such information could potentially enhance the points awarded by the judges for a particular entry.

The five theme categories in this year’s photo contest are “Heritage Homes in Goulbourn”; “The Richmond Fair 2013: Tomorrow’s History”; “Goulbourn Swamps & Wetlands”; “Links to the Past”; and “Heritage Tombstones.”

This year, a new wrinkle has been added to this annual heritage photo contest and that is a special youth category, open to local residents aged 17 and under. The categories are the same as are the contest rules such as the photo must be taken this year within the boundaries of the

former Goulbourn township. But in this youth section of the contest, entries are to be submitted via email, with a one Megabyte (MB) file size as the maximum allowed per shot. Such entries are to be emailed to YouthPhotoContest@GoulbournHistoricalSociety.org .

For all entrants to this heritage photo contest, both young and others, there is no entry fee.

However, all entries do become the property of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

Judging will be based on both historic interest and photographic merits such as the use of lighting, composition and impact.

Detailed rules can be found on the Historical Society’s website at www.goulbournhistoricalsociety.org . There will be prizes awarded and a public unveiling of the contest’s winning entries will be held.

What’s up around Richmond?

News – Thursday, Sept. 12 will be when Richmond and area residents will be able to learn about Mattamy Homes’ plans for its proposed development in the southwest area of the village, flanking Ottawa Street.

funds for the Friends of Hospice Ottawa capital campaign to establish a residential hospice in the west end of Ottawa. A site has now been purchased, namely the former Trinity Presbyterian Church property on McCurdy Drive just off Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. In the past two years, the Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” Golf Tournament has raised over $102,000 for the capital campaign. Lennox, a long time Richmond resident, had received end-of-life care at the Hospice at May Court.

This hospice experience encouraged his family and friends to help establish a west-end residential hospice and the tournament was started to help raise funds for this goal. Lennox’s wife Kathleen Sterling became involved with Friends of Hospice Ottawa in 2011, serving on the Board of Directors. Now, with the new Hospice Care Ottawa organization, she is a member of the Hospice Ottawa West Campaign Cabinet…Shawn Grant and Jon Minogue, both of Richmond, raised a total of $465 selling raffle tickets on over $500 worth of gift card prizes at King’s Your Independent Grocer on Saturday, Aug. 24.

Zentangles among courses at Sacred Heart Special to the News

News - Would you like to draw beautiful images but feel that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the artistic creativity to do so?

Well then, Zentangles is for you.

Zentangles is an easy-to-learn, relaxing and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns that virtually anyone can do.

It increases focus and creativity, provides artistic satisfaction and gives a sense of personal well being.

Indeed, Zentangles is being enjoyed all around the world.

And now you can get to know about and try Zentangles right in Stittsville as the Ottawa Catholic School Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Continuing and Community Education Department is offering Zentangles as one of its general interest courses being held at Sacred Heart Catholic High School this fall.

In this three week course which begins on Thursday evening, Oct. 3, you will be able to discover how to produce works of art through the Zentangles method. The Zentangles art created will be turned into a domino necklace under the guidance of instructor Marilyn Harris Mills.

Those who enroll in the course will be emailed a list of supplies required prior to the start of the class.

Approximate cost of these supplies is $15 to $20.

Cost for the course is $65 plus HST. If Zentangles is not for you but

you are looking for an art course, you should consider the Watercolour Pencils course being offered this fall at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. In this course, you will learn various techniques to create art with fun, easy and transportable medium, namely watercolour pencils.

Those who sign up for this course will be emailed a list of supplies required prior to the start of the class.

The approximate cost of these supplies is $15 to $20.

Cost of this course, which is being instructed by Marilyn Harris Mills, is $65 plus HST. It will be held on three Thursday evenings beginning on Thursday, Oct. 24.

If you would rather achieve your relaxation not through art but through yoga, then you should consider the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yoga for a Better Sleepâ&#x20AC;? course which is being offered this fall at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville.

This course will allow you to improve your alignment and deepen your breath, leading to better sleep.

You will learn to achieve complete relaxation through a blend of yin and hatha approaches.

This course is considered suitable for all fitness and experience levels. Those enrolled must bring a yoga mat and yoga block to the class which will be instructed by Kerry Surman.

This fall this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yoga for a Better Sleepâ&#x20AC;? course is being offered over an eight week period starting

on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Cost is $87 plus HST. The course will also be offered starting on Tuesday, Jan. 28, again for eight weeks.

If yoga is not your thing but Zumba toning appeals to you, then you can try this at Sacred Heart Catholic High School this fall or even starting next January.

Zumba toning combines targeted body sculpting, exercises and high energy cardio work with Latin-infused Zumba moves. This creates a calorie absorbing, strength training dance fitness party where you will learn how to use lightweight, maraca-like toning sticks to enhance rhythm and tone areas like arms, abs, glutes and thighs.

Zumba toning is considered a great way to sculpt the body naturally while having lots of fun.

Those enrolling in this course will have to take two toning sticks or weights no heavier than two pounds each to the class.

Mary Beth Barrans will be instructing this class which will be held at Sacred Heart for eight weeks on Thursday evenings beginning on Thursday, Oct. 3. Cost will be $79 plus HST. Starting on Jan. 30, the course will be offered again, also for eight weeks and also on Thursday evenings. Cost will be a similar $79 plus HST.

Evangelist coming to Stittsville Special to the News

Bakes sales were also held at Paul Lindsay Park in Amberwood and Bryanston Gate Park.

News - An American evangelist, author and Bible teacher will be appearing in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 14.

Beth Moore, who founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live on God’s Word, will not be physically in Stittsville on Saturday, Sept. 14 but she will be here via a day-long simulcast. It is expected that this global, one day simulcast will be viewed by 250,000 women around the world including those who watch the simulcast in Stittsville.

In Stittsville, this Beth Moore simulcast will be shown at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street. Women of all ages are invited to attend this special day to hear this evangelist who focuses on aiding women who desire to model their lives on evangelical Christian principles.

In 2011, a Beth Moore simulcast was broadcast from an American prison where she was visiting. This year’s broadcast topic will not be announced until she starts speaking on the broadcast but those listening can be assured that they will be captivated and awestruck by what she shares. And those attending can expect to hear a fresh perspective, simply because Beth Moore loves to laugh and loves the Lord.

She tries to encourage women through their ups and downs and she loves to cheer women on, not matter what their role in life. Her goal is to see women live full and extraordinary lives in spite of any adverse circumstances.

This Beth Moore simulcast will be shown on Saturday, Sept. 14 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Tickets to attend the event are now available at a cost of $30 per

person. This includes lunch and refreshments throughout the day. Lunch will also include a vegetarian option.

There is also an option to reserve a table where the payment for six tickets will see the provision of a seventh ticket for free.

Goulbourn Museum looking for scarecrow clothes Special to the News

News - Ray Bolger played the loveable Scarecrow in the 1939 ďŹ lm â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard of Oz.â&#x20AC;? Indeed, his Scarecrow costume from the ďŹ lm is now at the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Scarecrows, while not always movie stars, have been around for centuries as a protector of crops. A scarecrow is a decoy or mannequin in the shape of a human dressed in old clothes that is placed in ďŹ elds to discourage birds such as crows from feeding on new seed or growing crops.

As its name suggests, a scarecrow is meant to scare crows away from a ďŹ eld.

And it is scarecrows that are going to be the focus at the fall harvest family craft day that is coming up this Sunday afternoon, Sept. 8 at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners just south of Stittsville.

But heading into this family craft day, the Goulbourn Museum has a need â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it needs clothes for the scarecrows that are going to be made at the family craft day.

What the Goulbourn Museum is seeking are some long sleeve shirts, especially in plaid, and some pants (adult sizes). In addition, the Museum is looking for a variety of fun hats to top off the scarecrows. If you have any of these items hanging around your home and not really being worn, then you should consider allowing them to be used as scarecrow clothing at the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family craft day.

The scarecrows made at this family craft day this Sunday at the Museum will be travelling to the upcoming Richmond Fair where they will be on display at the Goulbourn Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s booth at the Fair.

If you have any clothing that would be appropriate for these scarecrows, you can drop the clothing off at the Museum at 2064 Huntley Road at the intersection with Flewellyn Road just south of Stittsville during this week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or this Saturday, Sept. 7 from 1 p.m.

SUBMITTED to 4 p.m. If this is not convenient and you would like to make other arrangements, please call the Goulbourn Mu- Aiden McCooeye, left, and his brother Connal, right, are with a scarecrow that they made at a past family craft day at the Goulbourn Museum. seum at 613-831-2393.

News - A â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fall Harvestâ&#x20AC;? family craft day is being held at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners this Sunday, Sept. 8, running from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is geared for youngsters aged 4 to 11 but parent accompaniment is required. The registration fee is $3 per child.

Those attending are encouraged to

Mary Cook’s Memories

First day of school was special occasion

We thought nothing of the five-and-a-half kilometre trek to the Northcote School.

When we got to the end of our long lane, and onto the Northcote Side Road, we would meet up with the Thoms, our nextfarm-over neighbours. Velma and I, best friends, would hold hands all the way to the school. My three brothers wanted no part of we younger ones and they would tear ahead of us, leaving us behind, as if we had the plague.

It was a dirt road all the way and by the time we got to school our socks were covered with dust and our shoes looked like they had been through a war.

This time of year my three brothers, who every year Mother swore had grown a foot over the summer, had new running shoes to wear the first day back to school. They covered their ankles, and laced from the toes to the tops and had thick black soles. If Mother didn’t order them from the Eaton’s catalogue, they were

bought in Renfrew where she bargained for the best price, paying the princely sum of 98 cents a pair -- the stores in Renfrew weren’t too happy about trading a couple chickens or fresh eggs like Mr. Briscoe did at the General Store in Northcote.

And so it was that first day back to the Northcote School, the three brothers in their new running shoes which they weren’t allowed to put on their feet until that morning, me in my boys brogues that had been shined with bacon fat and our lunches in clean brown paper bags, we headed off.

At the end of the lane, Velma waited for me. The Thoms boys and my three brothers raced off down the dirt road. Boys never carried their lunch bags openly. They tucked them inside the front of their shirts, which did nothing to keep the sandwiches in one piece. We girls put our lunches in our book bags, in with our new scribblers and whatever books Mother had to buy at the drug store.

And always we girls carried a freshly laundered handkerchief, neatly folded, tucked in our book bag as well.

Mother always tried to have my sister Audrey and I wearing something new for that first day back to school. Not storebought, of course, but something she would have made from a leftover from the hand-me-down box or from a well-bleached pair of flour bags. Mother favoured making blouses, simple ones with little round Peter Pan collars, and she would search through her sewing basket until she found pieces of rick-rack braid which she would sew around the cuffs of the puffed sleeves and the round collar. Very clever was my Mother, I thought back then.

Even though we had seen the neighbourhood children many times over the summer, at church picnics, ball games and family get-togethers, on that first day back to school it was as if we hadn’t laid eyes on them for years.

Friendship Club happenings Special to the News

The next luncheon for the Friendship Club will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 25 at noon at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville.

The menu for this luncheon will be chicken cacciatoire, salad, bread, tea, coffee and dessert. The entertainment will be provided by the always popular Fordie.

Those wishing to attend this luncheon should phone Gloria at 613-831-8819 or Rosemary at 613-836-6354 by Friday, Sept. 20 at the latest in order to reserve a seat at the luncheon.

Friendship Club activities at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena are shuffle-

board on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. which will re-start on Tuesday, Sept. 10 (contact Shirley at 613831-2712); carpet bowling on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. which will be re-starting on Wednesday, Sept. 11 (contact Helen at 613-836-6766); and bridge on Fridays at 1 p.m. (contact Lorraine at 613-599-3297). Friendship Club activities at the Pretty Street Community Centre are exercise on Mondays at 10 a.m. re-starting on Monday, Sept. 16 (contact Helen at 613-836-6766); bridge on Fridays at 1 p.m. (contact Ray at 613-836-6363); and euchre on Fridays at 7 p.m. (contact Heather at 613-838-2743).

Membership inquiries should be directed to Lorraine at 613-599-3297.

There would be the Briscoe twins in identical dresses. My little friend Joyce, always with something brand new that had probably come out of Walker’s Store in Renfrew, and of course, my rival Marguirite would have had a new permanent wave in her drug-store bleached Shirley Temple curls and she would be in shiny black patent leather Mary Jane shoes, with little white socks that had lace around the tops.

And there would be our teacher -- Miss Crosby -- in the same dress she had worn on the last day of school two months before.

She would still smell of lilac talcum powder and her black laced shoes would be so shiny you could see your face in them.

That first day of school we were allowed to go home midafternoon. Instead of calling a recess, Miss Crosby would announce that school was over for that day. We’d head back out to the road that went by the school and that day we would take the long way home. Down the Rink Road and over to Briscoe’s General Store, because that day, and that day only, we would all have been given a nickel. Audrey’s and mine were tied in the corner of our hankies and the brothers’ rattling around in their overall pockets with the usual collection of sling-shots, pieces of string, a couple of nails, and their dime-store jack knives.

It would be like a small invasion, as en mass we crowded into the store and headed right for the candy counter. The boys of the Northcote School usually bought licorice pipes.

We girls picked candies like discs, stuck to strips of white paper, with little words printed on them. Often Velma and I would buy one box of nickel Cracker Jacks and a nickel’s worth of peppermints and share them on the way home.

Once again, every day, the Northcote Road would lead us to and from the school. There would be no rides because of bad weather. It was a trek we were well used to.

Apple pecan cake with apple butter glaze - Easy!

Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Lifestyle - Apple butter and chopped apples make for a moist, easy-to-put-together cake.

Despite its name, apple butter is fat free.

The term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;butterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; refers to the thick, soft consistency and its use as a spread for toast, bagels, wafďŹ&#x201A;es or pancakes.

Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 30 to 35 minutes. Serves eight to 10 people.

Ingredients Cake * 500 ml (2 cups) all-purpose ďŹ&#x201A;our * 10 ml (2 tsp) baking powder * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each baking soda, salt and ground nutmeg * 2 eggs, lightly beaten * 125 ml (1/2 cup) packed brown sugar * 125 ml (1/2 cup) apple butter * 50 ml (1/4 cup) each vegetable oil and plain low-fat yogurt * 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 500ml/2 cups) Glaze

Richmond pies Special to the News

News - You can get one of the pieces made by the pie makers at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church in Richmond.

Simply drop into the church on McBean

* 175 ml (3/4 cup) apple butter (approximately) * 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped toasted pecans (optional) Preparation Line a two-litre (nine-inch) round cake pan with a circle of parchment paper. Brush the side of the pan with vegetable oil.

In a large bowl, combine the ďŹ&#x201A;our, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.

In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, brown sugar, apple butter, oil and yogurt and then stir in apples. Stir these ingredients into the dry mixture until moistened. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on wire rack for 10 minutes.

Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cake then invert it onto the wire rack to cool completely. Invert the cake onto a serving plate.

Glaze: Spread apple butter evenly over cake, then sprinkle with pecans, if you are using them.

Street on Tuesday mornings from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. to order a pie and pick it up. You can also order ahead of time by phoning Isabel Thompson at 613-838-2031 or emailing her at isagar.thompson@gmail.com.

The order form can be found on the St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church website at www.stpaulsrichmond.com.

COLPITTS, D. Ian In loving memory of our dearly loved husband and father who left us September 1, 2012 Our lives go on without him And nothing is the same.

We have to hide our heartache When someone speaks his name.

Sad are the hearts that love him, Silent the tears that fall.

Living our lives without him Is the hardest part of all.

He did so much for all of us, His heart was kind and true And when we needed someone His love and care shone through.

Those special years will not return When we were all together, But with the love still in our hearts He will walk with us forever.

‘Life in the Spirit’ seminar News – It’s free but it’s value could be priceless, especially if you are a person who is seeking a new awareness and relationship with God. It’s a “Life in the Spirit” seminar that is being held at the St. Philip Parish Hall on six consecutive Thursdays beginning on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m.

Rev. Bob Poole, rector of St. Philip Catholic Parish, and various guest speakers will present at this seminar. It will be offering a basic

presentation of the Gospel and about what the Lord is willing to do for all who want to come to Him. Those of all religious affiliations are welcome to attend. Again, there is no cost and you can attend one or hopefully all of the Thursday evening sessions.

While there is no cost, those interested in attending are requested to call the church office at 613-838-2314 by Tuesday, Sept. 10 just so the organizers have an idea of how many will be attending.

As you can see I am missing one eye and I am happy for it... When I was rescued it was so infected it had burst open... very painful and also making me very very sick. The surgery went very well and now I am as happy as a lark. It did not take anything away from my beautiful fur, my wonderful color, lovely face but instead it gave me a permanent “wink” and since I feel sooo good I can share my friendly demeanour with you and pamper you with my love. Once you meet me you’ll know what I mean ... I am a little furry love machine who can share her young life with you for many years to come..

The Juniper Farms Jumper Derby will feature a longer course than the usual jumper class. The course will be made up of jumper-type jumps that can be knocked down as well as natural obstacles including the bank, grob and table top. Competitors with no faults will return for a shortened jump-off to determine the winner.

The Steele Family Dual Jumper Slalom, which will be limited to 32 horses, will see two horses and their riders go against each other simulta-

gates, walls, hedges and more. Riders will be rewarded for choosing more difficult routes around the course.

The Westar Farms Hunter Classic will be a feature class for up-andcoming hunter riders and their horses or ponies. The course will include up to ten hunter-type jumps.

Another highlight of the show will be the HRH Duchess Memorial Power and Speed Class sponsored by the Phillips Family.

Judges will include Laura Kelland May, Gail Prest, Virginia McFadden and Grits McMullen.

Sports - Having a fun time on the golf course. Awesome. Helping raise funds to help a family whose child has been struck with a life threatening disease. Inspiring. Doing both at the same time. Priceless.

But this is what you can do on Thursday, Sept. 19 when the third annual John Shouldice Memorial Golf Tournament takes place at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville. It not only offers lots of golfing with a BBQ lunch, shotgun start and dinner but also it is directing all of the funds raised to the Rose family of Dunrobin whose daughter Bridget has been diagnosed with cancer. The six year old was diagnosed with Wilms Tumor (kidney cancer) at CHEO in June where it was also discovered that the cancer had spread to her lung and lymph nodes.

Helping the families of children who are facing life threatening illnesses and who are facing possible enormous expenses in seeking treatments has become a quickly-developed tradition for this tournament.

At the initial tournament, the funds went to help a girl in such a situation while last year, the funds raised, some $8,500, were given to the Jude family whose son Bryce was bat-

Sports - It was an extra-inning thriller in the Greater Ottawa Fastball league playoffs at Alexander Grove in Stittsville last Wednesday, Aug. 28.

When it was all over, it was the Carp 14C Victory squad which went home with the win, a 10-8 triumph over the Stittsville 56ers in nine innings.

It was a particularly heartbreaking loss for Stittsville as the 56ers had grabbed a 4-0 lead in the first inning. And then, in the eighth inning, the first overtime inning, the 56ers loaded the bases with only one out and could not push a run across the plate.

This win gives Carp two victories in the best-of-five playoff series, with the 56ers having one win.

The series will be decided this week with the 56ers faced with winning two straight games in Carp to win the series and advance in the playoffs.

The Stittsville 56ers and Carp 14C Victory split the first two games of their best-of-five Greater Ottawa Fastball League playoff series before Carpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win in the nine inning game.

The Stittsville 56ers had a record of six wins, ten losses and one tie in the regular season.

Carp 14C Victory had a record of ten wins, five losses and one tie.

The Greater Ottawa Fastball League had eight teams

Link between Sackets Harbor and Goulbourn Special to the News

News - Sackets Harbor on Lake Ontario in New York State and Richmond in Goulbourn are historically linked through the Battle of Sackets Harbor in 1813 during the War of 1812. That’s because grenadiers of the 100th Prince Regent’s Regiment of Foot participated in the battle and, indeed, six of these soldiers were among the 49 soldiers on the Canadian/British side who died in the battle.

It is the disbanded soldiers from the 100th Prince Regent’s Regiment of Foot who were many of the first settlers in Richmond and Goulbourn in 1818 when the Richmond military settlement was established.

Among those who fought in the battle was Captain (later Colonel) George Thew Burke who was cited for bravery in the battle. Burke later became the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement and went on to a long and distinguished career in public office in the area until his death in 1854. He is buried in Richmond. The British commander Col. Edward Baynes filed in his official 1813 report about the Battle of Sackets Harbor that the grenadiers of the 100th Regiment showed “undaunted gallantry” in the battle.

“Captain (George Thew) Burke availed himself of the ample field afford him in leading the advance to display the intrepidity of the British Grenadiers…,” Col. Baynes wrote in the report.

Those from the 100th Regiment who were killed in action in the Battle of Sackets Harbor on May 29, 2013 included Sgt. William McGarry, Pte. John Carvin, Pte. James Murphy, Michael O’Brian, Pte. Michael Quinn and Pte. John Short.

Other regiments represented on the British/Canadian side in this battle were the 1st Regiment (Royal Scots), 8th Regiment, 104th Regiment (New Brunswick), Glengarry Light Infan-

The memorial monument and plaque honouring the British and Canadian soldiers who died in the Battle of Sackets Harbour in May, 1813 in the War of 1812 including six soldiers of the 100th Regiment of Foot which was the regiment from which many of the pioneer settlers of Richmond and Goulbourn came when Richmond was established in 1818 were officially dedicated in a ceremony at the Sackets Harbor Battlefield Site on the weekend of Aug. 3 and 4. The event included a re-enactment of the battle with volunteers wearing period military dress. A number of these re-enactors are around the monument and plaque in this photo. try, Royal Newfoundland Fencibles, Voltigeurs Canadiens, Nova Scotia Fencibles and Royal Navy.

A bicentennial commemoration of the Battle of Sackets Harbor was held at the Sackets Harbor national historic battlefield site on the weekend of Saturday, Aug.3 and Sunday, Aug. 4, including a public dedication

of a memorial plaque honouring the British and Canadian soldiers who died in the battle. Some individual members of the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Museum donated funds towards this memorial plaque project.

rectors, attended this War of 1812 Bicentennial Weekend at the Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site on the Aug. 3 and 4 weekend and submitted the following report of the activities at the event as follows: “I was privileged to represent the Goulbourn Museum at an international event to honour British and

Canadian soldiers killed in the War of 1812 at the battle of Sackets Harbor in New York State. The bicentennial commemoration was held on Saturday, Aug. 3 at this national historic site at which is noted as one of the top ten battlefields on United States soil.

The public dedication of the memorial plaque to honour the British and Canadian soldiers who died on May 29, 1813 at Sackets Harbor is the result of a joint research project undertaken by American and Canadian historians. Although the fallen soldiers are buried in an unknown common grave on the site, historians were able to determine the names of the British and Canadian soldiers who died during the battle.

According to American historian Jack Bilow, author of “Whispers in the Dark,” British casualties were 50 killed and 211 wounded while American casualties were about 50 killed, 84 wounded and 36 missing.

The memorial plaque was initiated by the New York Parks Department with Canadian sponsorship of individual names on the plaque.

In addition to being honoured on the memorial plaque which commemorated all the British and Canadian men who died during the battle, the province of New Brunswick in partnership with the village of Sackets Harbor donated a separate memorial to honour the 104th Regiment of Foot (New Brunswick). Most of this Canadian regiment had participated in the raid by the 800 member assault force and had suffered heavy casualties.

It was early in February 1813 that six companies of the 104th Regiment had set out on snowshoes from Fredericton and had marched in grueling winter conditions over 1,125 kilometers, arriving at Kingston early in April in time to take part in the Battle of Sackets Harbor.

Sackets Harbor event Continued from page 63

Being the main American naval base on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812, Sackets Harbor was of prime military importance. During the battle, after an incorrect pre-arranged signal, the American defenders set fire to their naval stores as well as to the USS General Pike, a corvette which was then under construction in the Sackets Harbor shipyard. This was done in order to prevent the British and Canadian forces from acquiring these assets.

Fortunately for the Americans, since the USS General Pike was being built out of green wood, it did not burn well and after the battle, it was able to be completed and was launched in June, 1813. However, the burnt naval stores had a serious impact on the Americans as they were irreplaceable.

Although the British and Canadian forces were winning the battle, Lieutenant-General Sir George Prevost, commander-in-chief of British North America, insisted that the British and Canadian troops be withdrawn from the battle.

It was meant to be a tactical retreat, undertaken in light of the fact that nearly a third of the troops were either killed, wounded or missing in the battle, the highest losses of any action on the northern frontier in the War of 1812.

Besides, the main objective of

burning the naval stores and the USS General Pike had already been achieved, albeit done by the Americans themselves.

Lieutenant-General Prevost also believed, mistakenly, that American reinforcements would be arriving on the scene soon.

I (Phil Sweetnam) was very impressed with the village of Sackets Harbor for doing an excellent job of promoting its historic past.

Throughout the year, the Sackets Harbor Battlefield Alliance sponsors a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guided by Cell Phone Tourâ&#x20AC;? of the battlefield site.

Each stop on the tour has a one minute message that participants can listen to on a cell phone.

This weekend also featured a full schedule of events commemorating the bicentennial of the Battle of Sackets Harbor.

Two Canadian historians, Donald and Dianne Graves, spoke at the event, along with American historian Don Hickey. They gave public lectures from different perspectives.

Another event was the re-enactment of the Battle of Sackets Harbor with both sides in historically correct uniforms complete with muskets and cannons. Over 300 volunteers took part in this battle re-enactment.

The weekend was a sample of how an event which was born out of conflict has been turned into an example of cooperation between Americans and Canadians.â&#x20AC;?

Used Guiding uniforms for sale Special to the News

News - It’s recycling and bargain basement shopping at the same time.

If you have a daughter who will be beginning in any branch of Guiding this fall or who is moving up from one branch to another, then you will want to know about the upcoming used uniform sale that will be happening in Stittsville.

Additionally, if you have a daughter who has outgrown a Guiding uniform, then you too will want to know about this opportunity to sell the uniform.

A used uniform sale is being held this Saturday, Sept.

7 from noon to 3 p.m. in the upstairs community room at Stittsville Sobeys at the Stittsville Corners shopping area at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville.

There will be uniforms for all branches of Guiding available – Sparks, Brownies, Guides, Pathfinders, Rangers and even Guiders (leaders).

And what’s best, these used uniforms, although very gently used, will have price tags around 60 percent off the store price for new ones. These will

be the new uniforms which were introduced two years ago. Any of the older uniforms prior to that will be going for five dollars. So, if you want to purchase a Guiding uniform at a good price while helping to recycle materials, then plan to attend this used uniform sale.

And if you have a Guiding uniform of some sort that you would like to sell at this sale (you get the money if it sells), you should contact Angela Wallace via email at guider. angie@gmail.com to make arrangements for pickup or drop-off of the uniform.

Chamber name change Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News – Members of the Kanata Chamber of Commerce have voted unanimously to move forward with a name change.

This show of support by the membership to change the name to the West Ottawa Chamber of Commerce happened at a special meeting hosted by the Chamber on Tuesday, Aug. 20 called to gauge the support for such a name change. A total of 94 votes were cast in person or by proxy, exceeding the minimum of 70 votes needed by the Chamber to proceed with the possible name change.

“That is the most unanimous vote I think I’ve ever seen,” said Chamber executive director Rosemary Leu when the vote cards were held up by the participating members.

The Chamber, which represents businesses in the communities of Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata, wants to rename itself to better reflect its membership base. Only 55 percent of its businesses are located in Kanata itself.

“One of the goals is to evolve and be representative of our membership within the greater Ottawa area,” said Kanata Chamber of Commerce president Greg Weatherdon. “We want to be known as the voice for this part of the city.”

But the Chamber hit a snag in its renaming effort earlier in the month when the Ottawa

Chamber of Commerce threatened potential legal action if the West Ottawa name was adopted. This cause the postponement of this special meeting about the name change from July 23 to Aug. 20 while the Kanata Chamber sought legal advice.

The Kanata Chamber tried unsuccessfully to meet with the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce to discuss the name issue but without success.

The vote by the Kanata Chamber members allows the Board of Directors to proceed with the name change at its discretion.

“This is step one of potentially many,” said Mr. Weatherdon. “It’s a journey ahead of us.”

The Chamber’s current tagline, “Serving the communities of Kanata, Goulbourn and West Carleton” will remain in place.

“It’s a name change, not a territory change,” executive director Rosemary Leu said. “We (will) retain the distinct membership and geography of our West Ottawa community.”

The Kanata Chamber of Commerce’s 400plus member businesses are located as follows: Kanata, 55 percent; Goulbourn, 14 percent; West Carleton, 11 percent; Nepean, 10 percent; Greater Ottawa area, 6 percent; and out of town, 3 percent.

The Chamber’s Board of Directors is now in the process of obtaining official legal opinion to help guide the Chamber through its desired name change. No deadline has been publicized for any Board decision on the name change.

Students back; driver, bus safety promoted John Carter

John.carter@metroland.com

News - As students across the province head back to school, the Ontario government is reminding drivers to obey the rules of the road to keep children safe.

It is up to drivers to watch for children, especially in school zones, and drive safely near school buses. Drivers should follow these tips: • Stop for a school bus when its overhead lights are flashing - never pass. Remain stopped until the lights stop flashing or the bus begins to move.

• Leave space around school buses so children can safely board and exit the bus. Be prepared to stop for a school bus at any time, not just during school hours.

• Slow down, drive with extra caution and watch for children in school zones.

• Stop for pedestrians at crosswalks and school crossings.

Parents can also do their part to keep children safe by reminding them to stay alert and watch for other vehicles when getting on or off the school bus.

More than 818,000 students travel in about 18,000 school vehicles every day in Ontario.

School buses are among the safest ways for children to travel. Research shows that riding the school bus is 16 times safer than travelling in a car, In 2008, the Ontario government made crossing arms on the front all school buses mandatory. Since 2010, new school buses require lights that illuminate the area around the entrance and exit doors of the bus Drivers can be fined up to $2,000 and six demerit points for failing to stop for a school bus “School bus safety is everybody’s business – from big cities to rural communities,” said Ontario School Bus Association president Perry Ferguson.

“Caring for kids and ensuring their well-being in and around school buses is of ultimate concern to the Ontario School Bus Association and its members. We encourage the public to visit OSBA and MTO websites for important safety reminders.”

YOUNG DRIVERS TIPS

Young Drivers of Canada are also offering back-to-school safety for drivers.

“With children returning to school drivers need to be more cautious,” says the organiza-

tion in a news release.

“Child pedestrians are most often hurt in the months of September and October and children aged 10-14 years have the highest incidence of pedestrian-related injuries. The roads are busier and drivers need to adjust their driving routine to help predict and prevent these injuries.”

Young Drivers of Canada offers the following advice to drivers: • Be aware of school zone signage.

• Reduce speed in school zones. A pedestrian struck by a car traveling at 50 km/hr is eight times more likely to be killed than a pedestrian struck at 30 km/hr. Even a small reduction in speed can be significant.

• Wait for children to complete their crossing before proceeding. The most common child pedestrian action that results in injury or death is at an intersection, followed by running onto the road.

• Motorists traveling in both directions must stop for the school bus except if the road is divided by a median.

• Be prepared: school buses stop at all railway crossings, but are not required to use the upper red lights.

• If you are driving children to school drop them off in a safe area away from traffic - most schools have designated drop off zones.

• Change lanes early for bicycles. They should be treated as another vehicle so give them ample space. Be vigilant as many kids ride skateboards, scooters or roller blade on the road.

• Always leave in plenty of time to get to your destination - running late can cause aggressive driving behaviors.

“We need to keep in mind that younger children often lack the cognitive and physical skills to make safe judgments about traffic,” says the Young Drivers releases. “Children are also physically smaller which makes it harder for drivers to see them and for them to see us.”

Young Drivers teaches that motorists should back in rather than out of driveways. The blind area to the rear of vehicle is much larger than the one to the front making it more difficult to see if there is a child behind your vehicle.

Young Drivers also teaches a technique called ‘Ground View’. “As you approach any vehicle you cannot see through, look for the feet of a pedestrian about to walk in front of you or for the wheels of a bicycle.

Joining school sports teams will help your children become more active.

Advice from CAA Continued from PAge 50

The Canadian Automobile Association has also chimed in with back-to-school safety advice, urging drivers to slow down in school zones and watch for flashing bus lights.

CAA’s tips for drivers include: • Always check for children on the sidewalk, driveway and behind your vehicle before backing up.

• Remember to slow down in school zones.

• Be ready to stop at all times because children may dart out between parked vehicles.

• Try to make eye contact with children waiting to cross the street.

• Come to a complete stop for school buses when lights are flashing.

to play. Playing sports on a team at school will help your children become more active, and if they follow the advice of their coaches, they’ll also be much more concerned about eating well.

Many schools also offer a late bus service for students who go to the gym after classes.

That means playing after-school sports won’t necessarily entail a lot of extra driving for you. And last but not least, think about the pride you’ll feel when you see your children playing.

Who knows, perhaps they’ll be the star athletes of their teams!

Whatever their role on their teams, they’ll be certain to cherish these memories for the rest of their lives, and so will you!

Lifestyle - If your children come home from school at the beginning of the school year asking if they can join the school’s volleyball or badminton team, think before you object.

Joining a sports team or club is a great idea for several different reasons.

Wearing the school’s colours encourages a feeling of belonging in your children.

At the same time, it will probably help them to more easily accept the constraints of student life.

Besides, many schools require that students maintain passing grades in order to play on teams.

That can be a real source of motivation for students inclined towards homework laziness or who are less academically gifted than the average.

The sedentary lifestyle of today’s young people is alarming. Kids no longer naturally migrate outdoors after school

Does she drag her heels as she gets on the school bus?

Children who resist going to school might not be seeing its relevance in their lives, or they might be unsure about their abilities.

As a parent, your attitude and your actions play a vital role in how your children feel about learning.

Here are ďŹ ve ways to get your kid feeling better about school: 1. Marks arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t everything. Children hate being judged solely on their marks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that results are important, but above all, take an interest in what they are learning.

2. Make learning fun. If your children are not succeeding because they ďŹ nd a subject boring, try and ďŹ nd out what exactly is boring them.

Perhaps thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a way to personalize the learning method or to ďŹ nd another angle that can make the subject more interesting; interactive studying is just one example. Remember that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal to prefer one subject over another and to not succeed equally well in all of them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same for adults!

3. Get involved. Your children will enjoy school a lot more if they realize that school is important to you. Be sure to attend parent-teacher meetings at the beginning of the year, and consider becoming a volunteer for some school activities.

4. Routine is important. Help your children get into the habit of doing

The joy of reading is a gift to children Lifestyle - Sharing with your children the joy of reading is to offer them the most beautiful gift in the world: an open door to wonder and imagination, which they will be able to enjoy for the rest of their lives. There is no need to wait: research shows that children experience more academic success when the pleasures of words and reading are kindled before they start school.

It is important, of course, to adapt the reading material to the age of the child. From zero to 2 years, babies will literally devour their books! Baby books must be very durable and, ideally, washable. As soon as babies can focus on an image, sharing a book together with a parent is a great way to spend time together.

From three to five years, children start to be interested in stories with a narrative. Toddlers are likely to ask you to read them the

same book night after night. Comply without grumbling, because a passion is being born! Preschoolers, on the other hand, usually appreciate a variety of stories and illustrations.

When they are school-age, continue to read to your children, even if they already know how to read alone. Then, gradually, take it in turns to read in order to encourage their progress.

In addition to readers sent home from school, visit your local library as well so that you children can have access to a wider variety of books. An enjoyable outing to the library can be an incentive to read in itself.

Last but not least, if they see you reading and hear you talking passionately about the books that you read, your children will almost inevitably grow up with a desire to do the same.

centrated effort (or any other ratio that works).

• Invest in some educational computer software that will help your son feel excited about learning grammar, math, and other subjects.

• Exchange privileges for achievements. For example, you might agree that your child can go to bed 15 minutes later than usual if she can finish her math homework in fewer than 15 minutes. Timing her will increase her concentration, but be realistic about the challenges; you don’t want to discourage her.

• List each homework job to be done on a separate piece of paper and let your child pick the next task to tackle. Include a surprise note, on which might be written “take a ten minute break” or “enjoy a second story at bedtime”; this will add a touch of anticipation and encouragement to the jobs.

• Be encouraging rather than stressed out. Congratulate your child for good results and be positive about future attempts. Most of all, help him or her to feel proud of their efforts.

Lifestyle - It’s not always fun to sit down with children to do homework.

Imagine what it’s like for them, after a whole day of school!

Turning homework into a game can help take the stress out of homework.

With the following strategies you can make this obligation more fun for everybody.

• Play school with your child. Find yourself a little desk, let her pretend to be the teacher, and ask her to show you how to write out her spelling words. This is especially effective if you create a “blackboard” with a piece of paper taped to the wall.

• Allow your child to move around while working. After sitting all day at school, your son might have difficulty sitting still at the kitchen table. Allow him to stand up, and ask him to say his multiplication tables while throwing you a ball.

• Reward work with play. Come to an agreement with your child to play with him or her for 5 minutes for every 15 minutes of con-

BACK TO SCHOOL

& 2013 FALL REGISTRATION Help alleviate back to school jitters that will be the inspiration for getting moving, such as school supply shopping. Take the carpool route to school, or ďŹ nd out where the school bus stop may be. These practice sessions will enable the family to decide how much time is needed to get ready in the morning and make changes accordingly. â&#x20AC;˘ Mention school frequently. Begin talking about school and what is necessary to prepare.

Be sure to talk about the more enjoyable aspects of school, such as seeing friends, participating in extracurricular activities and even the change of scenery school provides. Mention the things your child may expect. Hearing about school frequently can reduce feelings of anxiety. â&#x20AC;˘ Visit the school. If this is the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst time entering this school, you can take advantage of orientation days for new students or schedule an individual visit to the school. A tour and a meeting with the principal will also assuage some fears of the unknown. This can also calm any apprehension parents may have, because they, too, will know the layout of the school, its policies, and who will be watching over their children. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be nervous. Children often look to their parents for guidelines on how to behave.

A parent who is overly nervous or sad about the ďŹ rst day of school could make their kids nervous, too. Put on a brave face and keep any anxiety hidden until kids have left for school. â&#x20AC;˘ Be prepared. Gather supplies, practice the driving route, lay out clothes, make lunch the night before, get a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest, and set the alarm clock. Knowing all of the controllable factors are handled can ease the mind of parents and students.

â&#x20AC;˘ Stay positive. Always keep conversations about school geared toward the positive. If children mention things that frighten them, calm those fears and show the upside to attending school. Provide examples of your own school experiences and how everything turned out for the best.

The ďŹ rst day of school can be a time of uncertainty for students and parents. Adults are facing a new stage in their lives, and children are awaiting a classroom of new faces and requirements. Preparing for the ďŹ rst day can alleviate some of the anxiety about heading off to school for a new year.

Lifestyle - The ďŹ rst day of school can create butterďŹ&#x201A;ies in the stomachs of parents and children. However, following a few tips can alleviate feelings of nervousness.

August and September are prime months for the return to school.

Whether this is a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst time entering the classroom or he or she has done the back-toschool thing multiple times, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not uncommon for feelings of anxiety to arise.

There are expectations and unknowns with each and every school year for both the students and their parents.

Pivotal years, such as kindergarten, 6th grade for middle-schoolers, freshman year of high school, or the start of college can create added levels of jitters because these years mark entry to a new school or new routine. But keeping a few pointers in mind can alleviate some of the fears. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep a routine. It is important for parents and students to get back into the school swing of things a few weeks prior to the ďŹ rst day of school. Start setting alarm clocks for the hour at which kids will have to awaken, and get them in the habit of rising from bed and starting the day. Try to schedule something to do each day

ÂŽ

Is your child involved in too much? towards performance and achievement. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to leave room for unstructured play that is unsupervised by adults. It might mean a shift of perspective for many of us, but â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? play is not a waste of time. On the contrary, it can help children learn to manage their time according to their own rules and to develop their creativity.

On the afternoons and evenings when no extracurricular sports or artistic activities are on the menu, family meals can regain their rightful place in the schedule. It is the perfect time to gather, share the highlights of the day, and build the loving relationships that are so beneďŹ cial to our children. A balance between school, family life, scheduled activities, and free time is essential. The lesson of the day is very simple: aim for balance in everything; it is the surest route to happiness.

Lifestyle - We always want the best for our children. But sometimes we do too much for them, such as enrolling them in too many extra-curricular activities. When we do that, we deprive them of the creativity that comes from free time and the relationship building that comes from just being together.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal to want our children to nurture a passion outside the classroom, and to learn self-discipline and focus; those are all good reasons to sign them up for classes in riding, karate, or guitar. Getting them involved in more than a couple of activities per week, however, can become a source of tension and stress in the home. Beyond logistical and time demands, it can also seriously cut into relaxed family time and edge out creative play. It causes stress in children when their activities become oriented

Public meeting on proposed pipeline through Goulbourn Continued from page 1

The Council of Canadians is on record as opposing this Energy East pipeline. In its view, the pipeline would pose serious threats to local water supplies, communities and coastal waters. In addition, the Council of Canadians sees the pipeline as allowing for the expansion of the tar sands which, in its view, would result in more contaminated water, land and air for nearby communities there as well as would prevent development of alternative sources of energy.

The Council of Canadians is a Canadian social action organization with a network of 60 chapters across the country. Founded in 1985, the Council of Canadians supports democracy, clean water, fair trade, public health care and community organizing. Its goal is to educate and empower people to hold governments and corporations accountable for their actions.

The Council of Canadians is a registered non-profit organization and does not accept money from corporations or governments. Its work is sustained by volunteers and by donations from members of the public.

Ecology Ottawa, founded in 2006, is a volunteer-driven, non-profit organization whose goal is to help make the city of Ottawa the green capital of Canada. The organization believes in sustainable communities where issues like public transit, pollution, green space, global warming, renewable energy, waste disposal and recycling are important.

City OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ice pad name Continued from page 1

Matt was drafted by the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 1996 NHL draft, chosen 102nd overall. He turned professional for the 1998-1999 season, playing for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the American Hockey League.

After two full seasons with the Thoroughblades, he split the 2000-2001 season between the Thoroughblades and the San Jose Sharks of the NHL. He was with the San Jose Sharks full time in the following season and then remained in the NHL through the 2011-2012 season.

He played two seasons with the San Jose Sharks before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins where he spent the 2003-2004 season. It was then on to Washington for six seasons before he joined the Florida Panthers for the 2011-2012 season. In June 2012, the Panthers bought out the remaining year on his two year contract, making him a free agent.

With the lockout at the start of the 2012-2013 season, Matt went to play for TuTo of the Finnish second division but after one game, was injured and returned to Canada.

He did not sign subsequently with any NHL club.

Over his NHL career, Matt played in 675 games, scoring 59 goals and adding 90 assists while accumulating 562 minutes in penalty. He also played in the Stanley Cup playoffs with both San Jose and Washington.

A right winger, Matt was considered a solid, hard working player. Particularly in his years with Washington, he was involved in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outreach activities in the community.

He was also interviewed at times on Team 1200 sports radio in Ottawa over the course of the season and was always well spoken, informative and accessible. He was always identified as being from Stittsville, his hometown and the community where his parents and grandparents lived.

Matt is the fourth generation of the Bradley family associated with Stittsville. His great grandfather Fred opened a store in Stittsville in 1914 and it went on to be a retail fixture in the community for the next eight decades. Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather Bill Bradley took over the store from his father and then Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Paul took over the store from Bill.

The Bradley connection to the store ceased when it relocated to new premises and became todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer.
