It’s a world record! john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a long gourd that has really lived up to its name.

It’s long, oh so long! Indeed, it is so long at 149.5 inches (almost 12 ½ feet) that it is a world record.

And it beat the previous world record, set in 2013, by over ten inches. Wow! From 2009 to 2013, the world record for a long gourd had advanced from 134.25 inches in 2009 to 139.25 inches in 2013, just five inches in five years.

To paraphrase what astronaut Neil Armstrong might say, “Ten inches may be one small distance for a man ‌ it’s one giant leap for a long gourd.â€?

Indeed, this long gourd’s grower Al Eaton of Richmond calls it “phenomenal� to better the existing world record by over ten inches, likening it to a runner achieving a three and a half minute mile when the previous world record was the four minute mile.

Stittsville News

John Curry

This world record long gourd has been grown by Al Eaton of Richmond who is no stranger to world records, having grown a then-world record 1446 pound giant pumpkin back in 2004. But since then he has switched his attention to growing long gourds, leading to this year’s world record.

This world record long gourd was measured at the Bracebridge Agriculture Society Fall Fair on Saturday, Sept. 19 which is one of several official weigh-off/measuring sites for the Great Pumpkin Commonwealth, the organization which oversees and sanctions the results for giant pumpkins and long gourds at over 100 sites around the world.

And while Al Eaton has grabbed the world record with his 149.5 inch long gourd measured at Bracebridge, there are still more weigh-off/measuring events coming up over the next three weekends in Canada, the United States and Europe, with several scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2 and 3, so there is a chance that Al’s world record will be short-lived.

But given that he beat the previous world record by such a whopping margin, that would appear unlikely. Already this year there has been a long gourd grown by Todd Kline of Shawville that measured in at 141.31 inches, breaking the former 139.25 world record but still far behind the length of Al’s long gourd.

For Al Eaton, this journey to a world record this year all began last May when he started his long gourd seeds indoors.

And they were not just any seeds. That’s because genetics is a big factor in growing longer and longer gourds.

Indeed, Al keeps extensive records of the genetic lineage of the long gourds that he grows. His records are like the ancestry.ca for long gourds.

And these records show that the longest gourds being grown these days come from a gene pool that includes seeds from himself as well as from other individual growers, specifically in Serbia, Wisconsin and Toronto.

Lots of factors including ‘luck’ in growing long gourds Continued from page 1

R0013452388/0910

Long gourd growers like Al exchange seeds, trying to combine gene pools to develop plants with the hybrid vigour that will produce longer and longer gourds.

But besides keeping these genetic records, Al also keeps notes on what he does during the growing season, such as when he prunes the plants.

“There’s quite a strategy to it,” he Submitted says about growing a long gourd.

Al readily admits that besides facThis shows the holes that Al Eaton of Richmond dug at the trellis area in his garden to tors such as watering, pruning, disease allow a pair of long gourds to grow beyond the ten and a half foot height of the trellis. and insect control and hot weather, there is also an ingredient called “luck” involved in growing a long gourd, especially a world record one.

He notes that long gourds love the heat and more specifically warm days and warm nights.

He measures his long gourds every three days during their 40 to 44 day growing period, taking the measurement at 7 p.m. in the evening. This year his long gourd which captured the world record grew 24 inches in one three day period. He admits that he had never before seen a long gourd grow at such a pace.

Al grows his long gourds on a ten and a half foot tall trellis structure because the gourds have to hang down in order to grow long and straight.

Gravity keeps them straight. Now, Al’s world record long gourd ended up being almost 12 ½ feet long. How can this happen on a trellis only 10 ½ feet high, you wonder?

See HOLE ALLOWS, page 7

Submitted

Al Eaton of Richmond stands with his world record 149.50 inch long gourd which he grew in his garden in Richmond and which was measured at the Giant Pumpkin Commonweath’s weigh-off/measurement site in Bracebridge on Saturday, Sept. 17. This long gourd beat the previous world record by over ten inches.

Mayor’s City Builder Award Continued from page 3

The Mayor’s City Builder Award was created to recognize an individual, group or organization that has demonstrated through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action an extraordinary com-

mitment to making the city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, charitable work, community building or other remarkable achievements.

Individuals, groups or or-

ganizations may be nominated for this Mayor’s City Builder Award by members of Ottawa city council or by members of the public. A Mayor’s City Builder Award is presented at the beginning of each Ottawa city council meeting.

Hole allows gourd to grow longer Continued from page 6

Well, he ended up digging a hole that allowed the long gourd to keep growing. It ended up being over two feet deep. Al even developed a way to measure the long gourd, creating a fixed measuring stick that could determine the length of the long gourd in the hole. He then added this measurement to his measurement of the rest of the gourd hanging on the trellis to determine the gourd’s overall length.

But having the gourd extending down into a hole created a challenge when it was time to remove the gourd from the trellis and prepare it for transportation to the Bracebridge measuring site. This was accomplished by digging the hole wider and then swinging the long gourd like a pendulum to get it all above ground. It took Al and two friends an hour to accomplish this task.

Of course, it must all be done carefully because if the outside of these long gourds cracks, then the long gourd cannot be entered in competition. They are called hard shell gourds because the shell is relatively hard but a crack can

happen at any time.

That’s why Al lashes the long gourd to a twoby-six piece of lumber when it is to be transported to a competition.

Al notes that part of the fun of growing long gourds is setting off for a measuring competition like the one in Bracebridge knowing that you have a lengthy gourd but not knowing what other growers may have. You don’t know where you stand with your gourd until the measurements are made. And then there are always the hundreds of other sites where there may be a gourd that is longer.

Al admits that there are not many in this area who are growing long gourds, commenting that it is not easy to grow these long gourds. If it were easy, everyone would probably do it, he says.

“I’m trying to achieve something,” he says about his long gourd growing which he began in 2003 and which now includes a world record.

Long gourds are more common in the Mediterranean and Eastern European areas of the world. They are usually up to three feet in length and are used for salads and soups.

Taxi drivers deserve to work

T

he cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taxi drivers find themselves in a tough spot.

Uber has created a price challenge for current licensed taxi drivers. Uber operators have no taxi licence, iffy insurance rules and choose to do part-time, sporadic work aimed at peak periods of demand.

The licensed drivers who used to serve the airport â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are now locked out â&#x20AC;&#x201C; face added fees that the airport authority has washed their hands of and which airport fleet drivers must pay. The fees arrive without the ability to pass on some of their extra costs to customers.

Driving a licensed cab is a full-time job, one that often supports a family. In some cases the long hours help to pay off the debt incurred by buying a taxi licence plate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plates that Uber drivers do not have to have.

No taxi passenger should begrudge that part of a taxi fare that goes to a taxpaying, hard-working driver.

We can take exception with high rates, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the system put in place by dispatch companies in concert with our elected councillors at city hall.

They set the rates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the drivers.

The drivers who are locked out are not rich.

There are no millionaires among them. They work long hours with no guarantee of good money, all while risking physical harm: both from the dangers of driving in city traffic every day and from unknown passengers. Your mom told you not to pick up strangers. Taxi drivers pick up strangers in dark places every day.

The people who choose to drive for Uber are working part-time for less pay, slowly nibbling away at full-time jobs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Wal-Mart-ization of an entire livelihood as employees get forced to work for less money because customers want to pay the lowest possible price. Unless of course the job can be outsourced to a developing country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work at all.

This is a real-world case of â&#x20AC;&#x153;pay me now or pay me laterâ&#x20AC;? if we turn full-time workers into the unemployed and spread their incomes across a parttime landscape of our own making. Maybe there even more desperate people out there willing to give paying customers piggyback rides around town.

Those in need of transportation in the real world should support the taxi drivers now on strike.

hen Ken Rockburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, We Are As the Times Are, was launched at Ireneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a couple of weeks ago, the tables were full of old-timers, some of them the very performers who had filled Le Hibou, the legendary coffeehouse that is the subject of the book.

(The title is from a song by William Hawkins, one of those performers, and he was there.)

The book is fascinating even for someone like me who arrived in the city after the Le Hibouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day had passed. In its various locations, from Rideau Street to Bank Street to Sussex Drive, the club was host to some of the most celebrated and influential artists of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, to Gordon Lightfoot, to Joni Mitch-

Poets like Irving Layton were there. Even jazz musicians, such as Lenny Breau played there.

Perhaps more important, Le Hibou was a showcase and a testing ground for local musicians and poets. Hawkins, David Wiffen, Sneezy Waters, Neville Wells, Bruce Cockburn, bands like the Children and Heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Radio â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they were all there.

of anecdotes and good gossip, you get a clear sense of a scene that was distinctly Ottawa. And it makes me wonder if there is such a scene now.

Both Rockburn and I are probably far too old to know. But I asked him anyway. He was quick to point out the differences between now and Le Hibouâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s era, 1960-1975. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back then your options were severely limited,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few dark corners on radio, one or two record counters downtown, and, around the start of the Sixties, virtually no music venues that were there for kids in high school or university.

So a place like Le Hibou, latching onto the burgeoning folk music scene, very easily became the focal point, making it appear as if it was distinctive.â&#x20AC;?

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Lovers of music that was not in the mainstream, not Top 40 radio, were starved for their sounds. Today, they can find them on YouTube.

book groups devoted to their music.

They can find Internet radio stations that play nothing but.

But is it possible that this abundance of riches, rather than cutting into the appetite for live music, has stimulated it? Says Rockburn: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretend to be a part of it any longer but, from a distance, it sure seems to me that Ottawa has a vibrant and thriving pop culture scene. You only have to look at the music clubs, the smaller art galleries, and events like Nuit Blanche to see that.â&#x20AC;?

Those are encouraging words for those who think we shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be getting all our culture from looking at screens. There have been some discouraging events on the local folk and jazz scenes in recent years, even though festivals more or less devoted to them have got bigger and bigger.

Probably not as a coffee house. It would have to have a liquor licence.

And it probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to afford to showcase international artists.

Still, it would be nice. Despite the abundance of clubs, it feels like thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a gap.

9 RUN RUN two days before election Special to the News

Politicians are running in the federal election coming up on Monday, Oct. 19.

And just two days before voting day, hundreds of others will be running as well, not in an election but in the sixth annual 9 RUN RUN emergency services run in Stittsville.

And just like there are several party choices in the federal election, so too there are several choices in this 9 RUN RUN event. There’s a 10K run that will begin at 9 a.m. Then there’s a half marathon that will get underway at 9:15 a.m. (walkers will leave at 8 a.m.). And there’s also a 2K Family Fun Run at 10 a.m.

Bushtukah is sponsoring both the 10K and half marathon runs while BMO Nesbitt Burns is sponsoring the 2K Family Fun Run. The start and finish for the 10K and half marathon again this year will be on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street, near Jonathan Pack Street. Village Square Park

at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street will again be used for postrun activities. This will include the Chiefs Chili Cookoff, always a highlight of the day’s events, as well as entertainment by the band Running Naked.

To date over $100,000 has been raised by this 9 RUN RUN emergency services run for Do It For Daron, The Royal and youth mental health in the community. Funds raised through 9 RUN RUN support two key initiatives: “I It Just Me? Conversations About Youth Mental Health” and the Do It For Daron Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research at The Royal.

“Is It Just Me? Conversations About Mental Health” is an educational program that helps students understand how their thoughts and feelings affect their mental health. Students attending “Is It Just Me?” learn about mental health from a neuroscientist, a psychologist, an addictions counsellor and a young adult living with mental

illness. Since 2011, over 6,000 high school, college and university students have attended “Is It Just Me?” The Do It For Daron Mach-Gaensslen Chair in Suicide Prevention Research at The Royal has as its aim to explore and create best practices to reduce the number of suicide attempts and completed suicides in Canada. This means building knowledge and working with health care providers, community organizations and families to translate this knowledge into real solutions to prevent suicide and the devastating impact which suicide has on Canadian families.

Do It For Daron (DIFD) is a youth-driven initiative focused on raising awareness and inspiring conversations about youth mental health. It was created by the family and friends of Daron Richardson who lost her life to suicide. DIFD supports programs and initiatives aimed at transforming youth mental health.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

Sept. 25th, 2015 Stittsville resident receives Mayor’s City Builder Award On Wednesday September 23rd I had the privilege of joining Mayor Jim Watson to present a Mayor’s City Builder Award to Stittsville resident Omar Sultan, recognizing his continued leadership and dedication to his community.

The father of five young children, Omar still finds time to be an active volunteer and philanthropist. His children have been the catalyst for him to get involved in a wide variety of roles and capacities, and his volunteer work has touched the lives of many.

He has been the president of the Munster Cooperative Nursery School for the past four years, guiding the schools committee and organizing fundraisers to ensure the nursery’s continued financial viability. He founded the Jackson Trails Community Association in June 2014 and is currently the president of the organization. He has coached various hockey teams in the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association over the past eight years, and is the head Beaver Leader for the Stittsville Beaver Pack.

The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour created to recognize an individual, group or organization that has, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements. Individuals, groups or organizations may be nominated by members of City Council or the public. The award is presented at the beginning of each City Council meeting. For more information on how to nominate a deserving individual you can visit http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/mayorand-city-councillors/mayor-jim-watson/mayors-city-builder-award Commercial Development at Hazeldean and Iber Road The commercial development application was originally submitted in 2013. It is located at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Iber Road. This past week the plan received some minor revisions that are laid out below.

The subject site consists of three parcels of land 5734 and 5754 Hazeldean Road and 2 Iber Road. These parcels are bound by Iber Road, Hazeldean Road and Fringewood Drive and are located south of Hazeldean Road, west of Iber Road and east of Fringewood Drive in the Stittsville community.

Surrounding land uses include existing light industrial uses located within the Stittsville Business Park to the east and south along Iber Road; a City park (Fringewood Park) is located to the immediate south along Fringewood Drive; low-rise residential uses are located south-west of the subject properties in the Fringewood neighbourhood. The site directly abuts a City sewage pumping station to the south along Fringewood Drive and a City fire station south along Iber Road.

Combined, the properties are approximately 44,365 m² in area and are currently vacant with sparsely planted trees. A watercourse (Hazeldean Creek) currently bisects the properties and outlets to the Carp River to the north-east.

The purpose of this application is to accommodate the development of the subject lands into a multi-building commercial plaza with a mix of retail, commercial, and office uses. The proposed development will consist of a total of eight (8) building; six (6) one-storey retail/commercial buildings and two (2) two-storey office buildings, one of which is to contain ground floor retail.

Since the original application the main changes are summarized as follows: • Paved pathway added along the eastern side of Frindgewood Drive.

• Access to Frindgewood Drive restricted leaving the site to right-out only (no left turns on Frindgewood permitted) will be controlled through signage.

• Original plan had a east bound deceleration taper on Hazeldean Road this has been removed since was not warranted existing trees on Hazeldean Road now preserved.

• Latest plan has added two pedestrian nodes on Hazeldean Road.

It is anticipated that the City will be providing final approval in the near future. I am not aware of the applicant’s timeline for development at this time.

For more information please contact my office and the City Planner, Mike Schmidt at Mike.Schmidt@ottawa.ca .

Car Shelters and the City Did you know that there are specific requirements regarding temporary shelters?

According to the City of Ottawa’s Zoning By-law, temporary structures such as a car shelter, must meet setback requirements that, in most cases, would restrict a property owner from erecting such a shelter in their front or side yard.

There are other stipulations to consider as well so before purchasing or building such a structure (above), please contact a Development Information Officer (DIO) at the City of Ottawa for more detail on the specifics including your address. You can contact a DIO by calling 3.1.1. Should a resident erect a temporary shelter and it does not meet the by-law requirements they are at risk to receive a warning from By-Law followed by an infraction should they not comply.

Always Listening to your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

Bluegrass music filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville again last Friday.

This was the second Friday music evening in a row which featured the bluegrass sound, with the Richmond Ramblers Bluegrass Bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance on Friday, Sept. 18 followed up by last Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance by The Backsliders, a five-member bluegrass group with three of its members hailing right from Stittsville.

And while both Friday music evenings featured bluegrass music, the variety of sound in this genre of music is such that the music on these two evenings was distinctively different.

This may stem from the fact that the Richmond Ramblers featured a banjo while The Backsliders had a fiddle, not a banjo, in its instrument mix.

The Backsliders followed the traditional bluegrass format in which each instrument such as Don Fletcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiddle or Jason McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mandolin would take its turn playing the melody and improvising around it while the others would perform appropriate musical accompaniment.

And The Backslidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; music told stories about the everyday lives and tribulations of people. So you had â&#x20AC;&#x153;Room at the Top of the Stairs,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Down in the Cellâ&#x20AC;? about being in jail, the peppy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Try To Beâ&#x20AC;? about recovering from a bad experience and carrying on, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Memories of You.â&#x20AC;?

Among the songs performed by The Backsliders were a couple of tunes associated with The SteelDrivers, a bluegrass band formed in 2005, namely â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ashes of Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;? and the intriguing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wearinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; A Holeâ&#x20AC;? with its lyrics like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m wearing a hole in a honky tonk floor.â&#x20AC;?

The group also performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Got Trouble Now,â&#x20AC;? a song from a bluegrass album recorded

by American country music star Alan Jackson.

The Backsliders also wound up the evening with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Swing That Hammer,â&#x20AC;? a song identified with the American bluegrass band â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lonesome River Band.â&#x20AC;?

The Backsliders performed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eight More Miles to Louisville,â&#x20AC;? a 1946 song that was one of Grampa Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best known hits. Grampa

Jones, whose real name was Louise Marshall Jones, was an American banjo player and singer of old time gospel and country music tunes. He was well known as a cast member of the TV show â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hee Hawâ&#x20AC;? and was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1978.

The group played a couple of tunes in which the influence of Tony Rice was mentioned.

Tony Rice is an American guitarist and bluegrass musician who has been one of the most influential acoustic guitar players in bluegrass music. He was inducted into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2013.

The Backsliders presented several tunes that were totally instrumental in nature including the age-old (circa 1851) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blue Violet Waltzâ&#x20AC;? which featured fiddler Don Fletcher, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reel,â&#x20AC;? another old time bluegrass song that might even be Canadian in origin, and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cherokee Shuffle,â&#x20AC;? an old time bluegrass fiddle tune. Indeed, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cherokee Shuffleâ&#x20AC;? is associated with American fiddler Tommy Jackson who was Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most in demand studio fiddle player. He died in 1979.

A couple of the songs presented by The Backsliders featured lead vocals by bass player Terry McDonald, who is the father of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main lead singer Jason McDonald. A veteran of playing and singing bluegrass music, Terry gave his explanation of bluegrass music before one of his vocal efforts. If you want to be happy, listen to the music, he advised. If you want to be sad, listen to the words.

The Backsliders included in their musical offerings the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Backsliding Bluesâ&#x20AC;? which is something of a theme song for the group, given their name. And so you heard lyrics like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heaven knows, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been backslidingâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to lose the backsliding blues.â&#x20AC;?

The Backsliders have played for numerous charity events, at Legion Halls in both Stittsville and Prescott and at various music events.

The five-member group includes Jason McDonald of Stittsville as lead vocalist and mandolin player; Don Fletcher of Stittsville as fiddler; Ed Sexton of Ottawa on guitar and sometime vocals; Warren Recoskie of Orleans on guitar and vocals; and Terry McDonald of Stittsville on bass and sometime vocals.

The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the

Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but donations to help the performers with their expenses are encouraged and accepted.

Early arrival for these Friday music evenings is recommended for the best seating.

Singer Anne Lewis performing at NAC Saturday, Oct. 17 John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Anne Lewisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; battle with cancer saw her lose her singing voice.

A long time singer at local venues, her surgeries and treatments compromised her vocal chords.

So she had to stop singing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My voice was gone,â&#x20AC;? the Stittsville resident recalls now, a decade later.

But in 2008 she discovered that her voice had returned, somewhat. She eventually started training her voice, spending hours trying to regain her voiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strength and adding notes to improve her range.

In 2013, she retired from the federal government and John Curry/Metroland started to re-discover the Anne Lewis of Stittsville is presenting a concert at the fourth Stage at the National Arts Centre on Saturday, Oct. 17 to celebrate local music scene, visiting the first anniversary of her return to singing after a battle with cancer affected her voice, causing her to give up her singing various venues to get back in touch with local musicareer for a number of years.

cians.

Eventually she started to perform again, two or three times a month since last October, mainly at private functions and at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata.

Now, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anne Lewis Quintetâ&#x20AC;? is holding a concert at the National Arts Centre (NAC) on Saturday, Oct. 17 to celebrate the first anniversary of her return to singing.

For Anne, it is an important performance because it is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebration of the joy of singing.â&#x20AC;?

To be able to sing again after overcoming the challenges of cancer will make it a memorable evening, not only for her personally but also for those in the audience who will get to hear a program featuring about 18 songs.

Concert at NAC being recorded for live CD Continued from page 12

These will include some originals as well as some classic cover tunes.

Indeed, the performance is going to be recorded as the basis for a live CD that will be produced.

After this concert at the NAC, Anne will be continuing with her singing career, although perhaps only performing once a month. What’s important in all of this is that Anne has fought back from the devastation which her cancer forced on her singing voice. She now has regained her self-confidence in her voice and singing ability. Those who attend the NAC concert on Oct. 17 will get to see and hear her renewed self-confidence in herself as a singer.

But Anne is no stranger to battling and overcoming adversity. She has been identified as legally blind since 1992 as a result of Stargardt disease, a hereditary retinal disorder, and can-

not drive. In her earlier career when she was known as Anne Wagner, she did a lot of benefit concert work for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind because of her own sight challenges.

This earlier career also saw her record two albums of contemporary pop music. She was also performing at various Ottawa area venues, singing not only blues and pop but also jazz.

She even performed at jazz festivals in both Ottawa and Montreal.

However, in the mid-1990’s, Anne’s marriage to her high school sweetheart ended and her music career had to take a back seat to full time work in the public service so she could raise her family. Then, in 2004, she was diagnosed with cancer requiring surgeries, with her voice affected as a result. Her singing career seemed to be over for good as she had no singing voice.

She wouldn’t even listen to music during

the ensuing years. That is, until 2008 when her son’s marriage led to Anne singing a song as a gift for the newlyweds. But it was still another three years until 2011 before Anne caught herself singing a range of notes in the shower. Her singing voice seemed to be returning.

This led to a couple of years of ongoing daily practice, trying to get her vocal strength and range back. She started performing a year ago and now she wants to celebrate it all which is why the upcoming concert at the NAC is being held.

Now 57 years old, she feels that the challenges that she has faced have made her a singer who now understands phrasing, intonation and breathing and that a song’s lyrics and melody go hand in hand.

Anne, who has lived in Stittsville since 2004, says that Stittsville is an incredible community. She works out at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex several times a week and has

found the group there to be a welcoming, kind group of people. They frequently go for coffee together afterwards and she says that the group has been very supportive of her return to music.

She also loves Stittsville because although legally blind and unable to drive, she can walk or take the bus to many locations such as the GRC or the bank.

Anne acknowledges that there are many others who are battling cancer and she notes that cancer can affect a person’s self-confidence.

She feels that it is important for people to get through the battle, perhaps helped by thoughts of a personal passion such as she did as she tried to stay focussed on her passion for music and the return of her voice.

Anne’s concert at the Fourth Stage at the NAC is taking place on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets at $25 each are available through the NAC box office.

SENS EXTRA Canadian Tire Centre reveals new seating, food options brier.dodge@metroland.com

The Canadian Tire Centre will have about 500 fewer seats this Ottawa Senators hockey season, as the new Club Bell seats are now in place.

The luxury section – with tickets that include valet parking, food and drink – start at $10,000 a seat for the whole season. Single game tickets aren’t available in the special section, which seats 472.

The renovation changes the total capacity down to 18, 684 from 19,153.

“We think this is going to be the best location to watch a game in the entire league,” said Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder. “It’s quite a significant change.”

There are a few seating options, with larger, premium seats, and blocks called “loges”, which give customers a bar-style counter to keep food and drink on.

Leeder said the ticket sales for the Club Bell section will be gearing “pretty well all to businesses and high net-worth individuals.”

FOOD OPTIONS For fans who won’t be sitting in the new premium seeing, there are still upgrades to look forward to this season at the Canadian Tire Centre.

For those who have dietary requirements or just enjoy eating healthy, Farm Boy will open the

Farm Boy Fresh zone. Options will include wraps, salads, soups and sushi in a menu created by Jamie Urie.

The Fresh Zone will feature similar food to the pre-made food in the grocery store chain, including options for gluten-free and vegetarian diets.

“That’s part of our mandate.

Number one is being able to offer something for everybody,” Urie said. “We’ll have vegan soups, vegetarian chilli – and of course, options for the meat lover.”

Favourite Smokes Poutinerie, which has been a popular stop during games, will also expand its presence to include a new Smoke’s Burritorie.

It will have a few unique burritos on the menu to add another food option for Sens fans.

There will also be more than quadruple the number of Tim Hortons coffee stands through the arena, as the chain has increased its presence at the facilty.

“Tim Hortons has really made a big investment and we’ve been able to expand the distribution of coffee to 14 locations, up from three last year,” said Geoff Publow, the team’s vice-president of strategic development. “The lines have become a bit legendary.”

There is also improved accessibility access with a counter that is more accommodating to fans who are in wheelchairs.

Right, Farm Boy is one of the new food additions for the Canadian Tire Centre in 2015. The takeout restaurant, located on the concourse accessible from the 200 and 300 level seats, will have vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options.

Aged out Cadets wanted Special to the News

Calling all those who recently have aged out of the Cadet program or who will soon be aging out of the program. Here’s an opportunity to use your Cadet training while joining the 100th Regiment of Foot’s historical interpretation program.

Members of the 100th Regiment of Foot, dressed in the uniform of the historic 100th Regiment from the War of 1812, perform early 19th century military drills and music for visitors in the heart of the nation’s capital.

That’s why senior Sea, Army and Air Cadets who have or who will soon reach the age limit for these Cadet programs and who have attained a minimum Cadet rank of Petty Officer 1st Class, Warrant Officer or Flight Sergeant while meeting other requirements are being urged to become a military interpreter with the 100th Regiment of Foot and to take part in the 100th Regiment’s Junior Leader Program.

Those who are successful in this Junior Leader Program will be appointed to the role of a noncommissioned officer in the 100th Regiment as positions become available.

“Our organization is expanding and we are looking for youth with leadership experience and a certain skill set already developed,” says William Sinka, president of the 100th Regiment Historical Society and founder of this re-created E. Rodriguez photo 100th Regiment of Foot.

“Senior Cadets have already been in charge of Three members of the re-created 104th Regiment of Foot who are wearing their 19th century replica uniforms are, from left, Lance Corporal Braeden Praill, Private Richard groups, commanded formations on parade, and lectured in classrooms, so it is easier for them Beaudin and Private Max Cronkite.

to hit the ground running in the role of a noncommissioned officer,” Sinka adds.

Those interested in pursuing a role with the 100th Regiment of Foot should send a resume, Cadet corps contact information and copies of any qualification certificates to the 100th Regiment of Foot at join@100thregiment.org before Dec. 4, 2015 at 5 p.m.

“This is a great opportunity for senior Cadets who have not decided to move into either the Cadet instructor cadre or the Canadian Forces but who would like to continue in a uniform and who love history,” Sinka said. “It is an easy transition from one uniform to the other and they get to put the leadership and other skills they worked hard to develop in Cadets to use while gaining valuable work related experience.”

The 100th Regiment of Foot is an historical interpretation program. The Regiment is active throughout the year, taking part in a variety of community events with much of the summer spent at the Ottawa Locks on the Rideau Canal.

The Ottawa Locks are located between Parliament Hill and the Chateau Laurier Hotel.

The 100th Regiment of Foot fought in the War of 1812 with its members subsequently disbanded and many becoming the original settlers of Richmond and area. Richmond was founded in 1818 as a military settlement under the leadership of Colonel George Thew Burke. It remained under the governance of the military until 1822.

Cake decorator, water polo player, pitcher, singer John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

She’s a cake decorator, a water polo player, a softball pitcher and a musical theatre performer.

Yes, Hannah Sullivan, a 15 year old grade ten student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, likes to keep busy.

She has been decorating cakes since she was ten years old, having taken cake decorating courses. She tried it just for fun but finds that she really enjoys it and so now she not only sells decorated cakes that she makes at home but also now has a job in the bakery at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville where she makes and decorates cakes. Every year since grade seven, she has made the cake for her class for Sacred Heart’s annual gala cake auction fundraising event.

She explains that it

takes a lot of practice to perfect all of the various cake decorating techniques, some of which require a lot of work to get correct. Once a technique is perfected, though, the cake decorating can go quicker, meaning more can be done.

Hannah also plays water pool. She is now in her third season with the Ottawa Titans Water Polo Club. It all came about because she likes to swim but finds just plain swimming boring.

So she tried water polo and discovered that it is a “really fun sport.”

The Ottawa Titans Water Polo Club is one of the largest water polo clubs in Canada. Founded in 1984, it offers both recreational and competitive programs. Its teams have won a number of national and provincial championships over the years.

She finds that those who play water pool are

nice people who are a lot of fun. There is also a lot to learn to play water polo. You learn to take shorter strokes and how to boost your swimming speed quickly. Other skills that have to be developed include how to shoot to hit the top and bottom corners of a net and how to skip the ball on the water.

Hannah says that there are also some what she terms “weird” skills involved with water polo, such as learning how to kick a ball in the water from your foot to your hand.

She suffered a dislocated shoulder playing water polo last year. She had to get six anchors surgically implanted in her shoulder due to torn tendons. It has now been 11 months since she was injured and she is looking forward to returning to the sport following a lot of physiotherapy and strength building.

She now has a full range of motion back in her shoulder. Hannah explains simply that injuries do happen in water polo, noting that she has also suffered a concussion playing the sport.

Water polo is not the only sport that Hannah plays. She also is a softball pitcher who relies mainly on a fast ball when on the mound. She says that she knows the strike zone pretty well in her pitching.

This past summer, because of her shoulder injury, she was unable to play softball but she stayed involved by coaching a girls’ squirt team. She said that this was a fun experience, noting that normally she has been the one being taught but as a coach this summer, she found that it was cool to be able to share her knowledge of the sport with others and help them grow in the sport.

Hannah is looking forward to be back playing ball next season.

She has also been taking singing lessons for the past three years. She enjoys singing and so she figured why not take some lessons.

Last summer, she auditioned for the new musical “Just Watch Me” which is based on the life of former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau and which is premiering at the Centrepointe Theatre from Oct. 6 to Oct. 10. Her audition earned her a role in the chorus of this musical which has been having rehearsals three or four times a week in preparation for the shows.

She says that being involved with this musical has been a lot of fun, noting that the cast members are great.

“It’s really a second family,” she says about the whole experience with this musical produc-

tion. She hopes to be able to be involved with more such musical productions in the future.

Her singing lessons and involvement with this new musical are not Hannah’s only exposure

to music. She also has been a member of the Sacred Heart senior band, playing percussion.

She says that she enjoys playing a percussion instrument and keeping the rhythm of a tune.

Lennox Sterling tournament raises $52,000 Special to the News

One hundred and four golfers enjoying a sunny day playing in the fifth annual Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice’ tournament at the Loch March Golf and Country Club. Idyllic. A total of $52,000 being raised for Hospice Care Ottawa and its capital project of adding residential beds at the Ruddy Shenkman Hospice in Kanata. Awesome. And the five year total of fundraising from the tournament reaching $250,000 – a quarter of a million dollars! Incredible and priceless.

It all happened on Friday, Sept. 18 when the fifth and final Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice” tournament, held in honoured of the late Lennox Sterling of Richmond, was staged at the Lock March Golf and Country Club in rural Kanata.

At the event, Hospice Care Ottawa executive director Lisa Sullivan announced that construction on a new residential wing at the Ruddy

Shenkman Hospice in Kanata would begin in April. This Lennox Sterling Memorial “Holes for Hospice”golf tournament has been held for the past five years in support of the $7.5 million capital campaign related to this new residential wing and the provision of hospice beds for residents of the west end of Ottawa. The first four tournaments raised a total of $198,000 while this year’s final tournament raised $52,000, bringing the total raised to $250,000.

The family room in this new wing is going to be named in memory of Lennox Sterling.

Lennox Sterling of Richmond received endof-life care at the May Court Hospice in Ottawa.

His family and friends undertook this annual tournament in his memory to ensure that hospice beds will be in place in Ottawa’s west end so that others will be ab le to experience the hospice end-of-life care that Lennox and his family were able to experience.

Royals win John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Stittsville Royals have chalked up two straight wins since losing their home opener to Perth Blue Wings on Sunday, Sept. 20.

With these two wins, the Royals have taken a strong hold on second place in the eight-team Richardson Division of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier Two with ten points, just one behind the Division-leading Perth Blue Wings.

Last Friday, Sept. 25, the Royals travelled to Arnprior to play the hometown Packers and coming home with a 4-2 victory.

The Royals started off strong in this game, scoring three unanswered goals before the game was 12 minutes old. The Packers managed to get

on the scoreboard late in the period to make the score 3-1 for the Royals going into the second period.

After a scoreless second period, the Royals and Packers exchanged goals in the third period, with the Packers scoring at the 5:36 mark to make it 3-2 before Matt Allan of the Royals scored at the 12:16 mark to restore the Royals’ two goal advantage. This is how the game ended, 4-2 in favour of the Royals.

On a couple of occasions, I have received feedback on this column with regards to font size. The issue being that the font is too small to read. While I do not control font size or the size of the space I get in each paper, I do control the word count. In order to achieve a larger font, I reduced the average size of my columns from 800 words to 500 words. Having said that, my column last week was 800 words because sometimes 500 words just aren’t enough.

As a result of my straying from the norm, someone let me know they couldn’t read it. As I said, I usually try to keep my columns at 500 words and will endeavour to continue doing so. Thanks for reading!

Things are starting to move in Stittsville with regard to refugees.

Holy Spirit Catholic Parish is holding a meeting on Thursday, Oct. 22 to discuss its participation in sponsoring refugees as the parish awaits word about the arrival of a Syrian Christian family of four whom the parish is sponsoring.

The Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group, which includes three Stittsville churches among its seven members, recently met to discuss the situation of Syrian refugees, the refugee sponsorship process and how the group might respond.

At this meeting, the Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group agreed to try to sponsor and/or partner with others in sponsoring one or more refugees from Syria.

The group is encouraging member congregations to seek donations to help with these sponsorship opportunities. The number of refugee sponsorships to be pursued will be based in part on the funds raised.

Over the past ten years, the group has assisted in sponsoring three families who were in refugee camps in Syria. The group has

also recently submitted sponsorship applications for three families from Afghanistan.

It is also planning to try to sponsor an additional family from Afghaistan and to help in sponsoring a family from Iran as well.

The Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group was founded in 1996. It has seven members churches, four in Kanata and three in Stittsville. The Stittsville churches are Stittsville United Church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and St. Thomas Anglican Church. The Kanata churches are Kanata United Church, Glen Cairn United Church, St. John’s Anglican Church and St. Paul’s Anglican Church.

Since 1996, the group has sponsored or assisted in sponsoring over ten individuals or families.

The mandate of the Kanata Stittsville Refugee Sponsorship Group is to sponsor United Nations Convention refugees from around the globe in order to provide assistance in their current country of residence, to provide them with a safe haven and the opportunity for a new life in Canada and to provide settlement assistance for refugees already in Canada.

‘Hands Up!’ movie about Richmond bank robbery Special to the News

Meeting night became movie night for the Rotary Club of Nepean Kanata on Thursday, Sept. 24.

That’s because the main “feature” of the meeting, held at the Holiday Inn on Kanata Avenue in Kanata, was the showing of a 19 minute movie “Hands Up!” portraying a renowned robbery at the Bank of Nova Scotia in Richmond in July 1938.

It was presented at the meeting by its producer John Curry and its cameraman/film editor Sandy Duro-

Igloo Cathedral Special to the News

Canada’s North in general and St. Jude’s Cathedral in Iqaluit which is informally referred to as the Igloo Cathedral will be the topics at an afternoon tea being hosted by the Anglican Church Women at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Monday, Oct. 5 at 1 p.m.

Guest speaker will be Garth Hampson, long time principal soloist with the RCMP band who retired after a 34 year career with the RCMP. He has been baritone soloist at Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa since 1964 and in recent years he has been responsible for creating a number of fundraisers to help in the rebuilding of St. Jude’s Cathedral in Iqaluit, Nunavut.

St. Jude’s Cathedral in Iqaluit is the Anglican cathedral in Iqaluit, Nunavut and is the seat of the diocese of the Arctic which covers the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and the Nunavik region of northern Quebec, making it

cher, both of Stittsville. Curry is the editor of the Stittsville News while Durocher operators Navigator Communications which produces corporate videos, live event coverage and production services.

The movie was scripted and acted out by a group of grade ten students of drama teacher Ms. Marina Westbrook at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville.

In his remarks before the showing of the film at the Rotary Club meeting, Curry gave the background about

how the movie came about and how the students came to be involved.

Initially Curry, who is author of the book “Richmond on the Jock” about the history of Richmond, had been asked by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society to make a presentation to the Historical Society about the 1938 bank robbery in Richmond.

In thinking about such a presentation, Curry’s thoughts turned to making it more dramatic than just a verbal presentation. He first thought

the largest Anglican diocese in the world geographically.

The current St. Jude’s Cathedral in Iqaluit was opened in June, 2012. The original St. Jude’s Cathedral had been built in 1972 by volunteers. It was demolished in June 2006 after an arson fire in Nov. 2005 destroyed much of the structure. Both the original St. Jude’s Cathedral and the new building feature the shape of an igloo.

Garth Hampson will be speaking on conditions in the North in general and about St. Jude’s Cathedral in Iqaluit in particular. The meeting will also see a visit from Frances Macdonnell, Cathedral organist emerita, who will answer questions about next August’s visit to Iqaluit where she will be conducting a music camp.

For more information about this afternoon tea, please phone 613-836-3803 or 613-831-1883.

of involving some friends in a skit about the robbery but eventually he latched onto the idea of involving a high school drama class in the presentation. He approached Sacred Heart High School drama teacher Marina Westbrook with the idea and the rest is history.

The project was embraced by her class who wrote a script based on the historical account of the robbery.

The class members then took on various roles and learned the various lines. Costumes were assembled and

all was ready for filming early last April.

This is where Durocher entered the picture as he had been approached by Curry regarding filming and editing such a production. It took three days of shooting, both at the school and at several sites including the former Bank of Nova Scotia building in Richmond where the robbery actually took place, to compile all of the video footage required.

Baked goods wanted Special to the News

Wanted: Baked goods for a fundraiser supporting the Alzheimer’s Society.

The Stittsville Villa Seniors Community on Stittsville Main Street will be holding its fourth annual “Celebrating Memories” bake sale in support of the Alzheimer’s society on Friday, Oct. 9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in its main lobby area.

The goal is to have 100 baked goodies donated for the event.

Families of Villa residents as well as staff are going to be donating baked goods for the sale but members of the wider Stittsville community are also being urged to donated baked goods for this fundraiser.

All donated baked goods should be deliver to the Stittsville Villa Seniors Community on Stittsville Main Street on Thursday, Oct. 8 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. or on Friday, Oct. 9 before 9 a.m.

If you are not a baker, you can still help out this fundraiser by being a customer.

Simply drop into the Stittsville Villa Seniors Community on Friday, Oct. 9 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and purchase one (or more) of the baked goods that will be on sale.

Remember, all of the funds raised by this bake sale are going to be donated to the Alzheimer’s Society.

The Alzheimer’s Society has been chosen as the recipient of the proceeds from this bake sale because the Stittsville Villa Seniors Community realizes that Al-

zheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia touch the lives of many of the Villa residents.

This bake sale is being held near World Alzheimer’s Day which was marked on Monday, Sept. 21.

This bake sale is being held as part of Revera’s company-wide “Celebrating Memories” initiative called Revera Giving – Community in Action program.

World Alzheimer’s Day is held on Sept. 21 each year.

It is a day on which Alzheimer’s organization around the world focus their efforts on raising awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia which are a group of disorders that impairs mental functioning.

Every 68 seconds, someone in the world develops Alzheimer’s disease.

At current rates, expects believe that the number of Americans living with Alzheimer’s will quadruple to as many as 16 million by the year 2050.

Currently 5.4 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States today and is the only cause of death among the top ten in the United States that cannot be prevented, cured or even slowed in its progression. Alzheimer’s is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gets worse over time.

The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events i.e. short-term memory loss.

As the disease progresses, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, loss of motivation and behavioral issues.

In 2010, there were between 21 million and 35 million people worldwide with Alzheimer’s disease.

It most often begins in people over 65 years of age although up to five percent of cases are early-onset Alzheimer’s which begin before the age of 65.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hands Up!â&#x20AC;&#x2122; production Continued from page 26

Durocher worked with the students during these days of shooting, having them go over their scenes several times as he shot the scenes from various angles. He then had these different angled views to use as he edited all of the video to produce the finished product, adding visuals of old newspaper clippings and also appropriate music as well as graphics regarding the time line and film credits.

The former Ottawa Journal featured the bank robbery on its front page for two consecutive days and then followed the story in subsequent editions including even five years later when the paper ran a story on its front page regarding the capture of one of the bank robbers in Oregon. All of this was useful to Durocher as he edited the video and could insert these newspaper clippings at appropriate places to move along the story.

This movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hands Up!â&#x20AC;? was shown at the Goulbourn Township Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting on Saturday, April 18, 2015. It was later shown during the Education Week open house at Sacred Heart High School in early May.

Holding examples of the engraved bricks which are now part of the brick pathway leading to the new labyrinth at the new Rotary Peace John Brummell/Metroland Park at Bell Park in Stittsville are members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa Bell Park at the south end of Stittsville is now home to the new Rotary Peace Park which features a labyrinth. – Stittsville, from left, Carolyn Clark, Brad Spriggs, Rosemary Brummell, The grand opening of this new Rotary Peace Park is taking place on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 3 p.m.

Grand opening is coming up for new Rotary Peace Park Special to the News

The Rotary Peace Park in Stittsville becomes a reality with its grand opening on Thursday, Oct. 8.

Located at Bell Park which is flanked by Stittsville Main Street, Cherry Drive and Fernbank Road in the south part of Stittsville, this Rotary Peace Park grand opening at 3 p.m. that day will be attended by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, Rotary District

Governor Claude LaLiberte, representatives of major sponsors of the project and students from local schools which provided artwork for some of the Peace Park’s features.

This grand opening event will feature entertainment and light refreshments will be served.

The highlight attraction in this Rotary Peace Park is a labyrinth which is 47 feet in diameter with the Rotary International logo

in the middle.

The site for this labyrinth was excavated last fall when other work done at the site include the installation of bases for a garbage receptacle and park benches.

The bricks for the labyrinth have just recently been laid at the site. Also recently laid are the bricks in a 75 foot long meandering walkway that leads from the parking lot at Bell Park to the labyrinth. Some of these

four inch by eight inch bricks are engraved with personalized messages which a person or family could arrange by making a $200 donation to the Peace Park project.

Other features at this Rotary Peace Park are a couple of benches surrounding the labyrinth area. The Peace Park also has signage explaining about the concept of a peace park and a labyrinth as well as signage identifying the major donors to the project.

The Peace Park also has a unique five-sided garbage receptacle as well as two bicycle racks that have been provided by Exel Contracting of Stittsville, the firm which handled the installation of the bricks for the labyrinth. The five sides of the garbage receptacle as well as areas on two of the bicycle racks are being used as areas where students and youth from Stittsville have the opportunity to display artwork depicting the meaning of peace.

Among the corporate sponsors for this Rotary Peace Park are Tartan Homes which made a $15,000 donation and BMO Bank of Montreal which contributed $5,000 to the project.

The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville also received $30,000 in funding from the city of Ottawa’s Better Neighbourhoods Program. The city of Ottawa will also be assuming ownership and ongoing maintenance responsibilities for this Rotary Peace Park since it is located on city-owned land. That’s why all facets of the project have been carried out according to the city of Ottawa’s standards and guidelines.

The creation of this Rotary Peace Park with labyrinth in Stittsville is the realization of a longstanding dream by the Rotary Club of Ottawa- Stittsville. First thoughts of such a peace park arose back in 2006 and slowly developed over the years until coming to fruition with this grand opening on Thursday, Oct. 8.

This is the first such peace park with a labyrinth within the city of Ottawa.

Rotary as an organization has a long history with peace parks. Back in 1932, the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was created on the Montana/Alberta border, initiated by a petition from Rotary International and local Rotary Clubs in Alberta and Montana. There are now over 135 International peace Parks created on national boundaries on five continents.

Rotary Peace Parks can be found across Canada in communities such as Whitehorse, Saskatoon, Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton, Salmon Arm and now Stittsville.

Summer reading at Munster library John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Reading reached new heights at the Munster branch of the Ottawa Public Library this summer.

There were the numbers involved in the TD Summer Reading Club at the branch which included 2,742 books read and 342 youth attending 21 different programs – Wow! But there was also a tree house publicizing the TD Summer Reading Club which hung on the wall facing the library’s entrance door. Made by long time Munster library volunteer John MacDonald who also made the “book man” for last year’s TD Summer Reading Club program and which has remained a fixture at the library ever since, this tree house is atop a sizeable tree trunk,

with youngsters having fun in the tree house by reading books. It features signs like “Private” and “Keep Out” on it, just like might be found on a real tree house.

There’s a rope ladder and a bucket on a pulley. The tree house was chained to the wall to ensure safety for all.

And this tree house is going to live on as Munster librarian Susan McDonald will be giving it a Halloween makeover so that it will be remaining in place for the coming Halloween season.

Librarian McDonald says that she had kept a drawing featuring such a tree house scene for several years with the idea of sometime having such a tree house in the library. Well, this turned out to be the year when her idea turned to reality, thanks to the work of volunteer John

MacDonald in creating it.

Another big part of the TD Summer Reading Club’s attraction at the Munster library this year was the use of a marble maize with youngsters receiving a marble for every book read, with the marble then being deposited in the marble maize.

There were also weekly winners in a random draw – read a book and the name went into the draw. So the more books read, the more chances to win in the draw. Little items and books made up the prizes which could be won.

The TD Summer Reading Club program at the Munster library began in July and ran through to the end of August.

There were a number of programs presented featuring magic and science. One program involved building with Lego.

Librarian McDonald says that the important aspect of the TD Summer Reading Club is that it encourages youth to read.

“It’s a good summer and you want to encourage kids to keep reading,” she says.

‘Scaring is Caring’ fundraiser happening at Saunders Farm Special to the News

The scaring continues in the Haunting Season at Saunders Farm at Munster this weekend but this Friday, Oct. 2 is special because that’s when Saunders Farm is hosting its fourth annual “Scaring is Caring” fundraiser in support of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa and its mental health initiatives.

This “Scaring is Caring” fundraiser is held annually in memory of Jamie Hubley, a Kanata youth who died as a result of bullying and lack of acceptance. Jamie worked at Saunders Farm during two Haunting Seasons, playing the roles of various characters on the Haunted Hayride.

The “Scaring is Caring” fundraiser was founded to celebrate Jamie’s life and to emphasize his message of acceptance.

This fundraiser is also meant to raise not only money but also awareness to support mental health advisory services in the community.

This “Scaring is Caring” fundraiser will run this Friday, Oct. 2 from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Saunders Farm, with five dollars from each admission being donated to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa and its youth mental health initiatives.

Collaborating in support of this fundraiser are the Hubley family, the Youth Services Bureau of Canada, the Holy Trinity High School jazz band, Saunders Farm staff and family and friends of Jamie Hubley.

It all starts at 6 p.m. when Saunders Farm’s Fright Fest will open for the evening. At 6:30 p.m., there will be a ceremony involving the Saunders family and guests.

It will include a live performance on the Farm’s Ghost Town Stage featuring the Holy Trinity School’s jazz band and other performers.

At 7 p.m., the Scar-y-Okee in the Tipsy Tombstone Tavern will begin, running through to 9:30 p.m.

At 8 p.m., there will be a performance of Saunders Farm’s new Ghost Town Stage Show “Straight Outta Munster.”

The Youth Services Bureau has been helping youth and their families access services and programs that they need for more than 50 years.

This includes several key areas such as youth mental health, community services, youth justice, youth engagement and youth employment.

Saunders Farm is just about to welcome its one millionth visitor to its annual Haunting Season. Its mission is to create a space that provides fun, food and memories for everyone.

Saunders Farm has employed 100’s of youth over the past years.

A question on climate change saw Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre state that greenhouse gas emissions have decreased by three percent under the Conservative rule.

Climate change, proposed monument come up in questions New Democratic Party (NDP) candidate KC Larocque said that there is a need to take care of the environment, saying that it is not a matter of choice between a strong economy and protecting the environment. She said that a cap and trade system would lead to meaningful emission reductions.

Liberal Party candidate Chris Rodgers said that the question is not if climate change will happen but rather what government will do to address the problem. He said that there are massive economic opportunities possible with development of a clean energy technology sector which could provide well paying jobs for the next generation of workers.

In response to a question about the proposed Memorial to the Victims of Communism in downtown Ottawa, Conservative Party candidate Pierre Poilievre said that the “small” monument will sit off to the side between the National Archives and the Supreme Court

Richmond

building centre

building, meaning that the existing park-like setting of that area will be maintained.

Liberal Party candidate Chris Rodgers said that the issue with regard to this proposed monument is not the monument’s purpose but rather its location.

“No one wants it there,” he said with regard to the proposed location, accusing the current government of making political footballs of an issue

that should unite Canadians, not divide them.

New Democratic Party candidate KC Larocque said that if the public had been consulted about the location initially, the current issue would not exist.

Green Party candidate Deborah Coyle called the monument an ideologically driven legacy project by the Conservatives.

“By all means move it,” she

declared, while also questioning the need for the monument, saying that there are, for example, no monuments about the suffering of aboriginal Canadians.

She said that there are other more worthy monuments which should be considered by the government.

Income splitting for seniors came up in the questioning.

Liberal Party candidate Chris Rodgers said that the

Liberal Party supports income splitting for seniors. However, income splitting for others, along with the increased limit on Tax Free Savings Accounts, would be repealed by a Liberal government and replaced with a direct tax cut for all middle income Canadians.

He said that such an approach would help more Canadians directly.

Green Party candidate Deborah Coyne said that the

New Democratic Party candidate KC Larocque said that her party supports income splitting for seniors. She added that the NDP would lower the age of retirement back down to age 65 from the recent increase to age 67.

With regard to financial compensation for veterans and disabled soldiers, Liberal Party candidate Chris Rodgers, whose brother has served overseas in the military, said that the Liberals will bring back lifetime pensions for veterans.

New Democratic Party candidate KC Larocque said that the NDP is allocating $454 million so that veterans can get their compensation without having to fight for it, saying that the NDP will treat all veterans equally.

Candidates meeting Amsted Design-Build helps Camp Smitty Continued from page 45

Green Party candidate Deborah Coyne said that veterans have been nickled and dimed by the current government, adding that veterans should get all of the support that they need from government.

Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre said that the issue of veterans with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had been addressed by the current government.

A question about poverty in Canada saw Conservative candidate Pierre Poilievre state that today there are only about half the number of Canadians living below the poverty line as there were in 1996.

Liberal Party candidate Chris Rodgers said that the Liberal’s Canada Child Benefit plan will provide more money tax free for nine out of ten Canadian families, helping them to make ends meet.

Green Party candidate Deborah Coyne said that the Green Party is proposing a “guaranteed liveable income” plan which will ensure that everyone has an income on which they can survive.

KC Larocque of the New Democratic Party said that the NDP plans to raise the federal mini-

mum wage to $15 an hour and also implement a universal child care plan capped at $15 per day.

She also touted the NDP’s proposed universal prescription drug plan.

The last question of the evening to the candidates was about the hijab and its impact on the Canadian way of life.

KC Larocque of the NDP said that no one has the right to tell a woman what she can or cannot wear.

Chris Rodgers of the Liberal Party said that while there are security issues with the wearing of the hijab, “diversity is a Canadian value.”

Green Party candidate Deborah Coyne suggested that it is not the role of government to legislate about the wearing of the hijab but rather it is a matter for the courts to decide.

Pierre Poilievre of the Conservatives said that there is a need to witness the affirmation of a person who is becoming a Canadian citizen and that this cannot be done if the person’s face cannot be seen because of a hijab. He said that it is reasonable to ask that the hijab be removed for a citizenship ceremony.

toric rec hall was done lovingly, with an eye to saving any memorabilia.

“Our team is accustomed to preserving the beauty in older buildings, and while restoration wasn’t the best route in this case, the crew was careful to save campers’ memories, recovering boards with colourings and signatures as well as the Camp’s bird house,” explained Amsted’s owner Steve Barkhouse. “Just like our clients’ homes, there is a lot of history there worth acknowledging and saving,” he added.

This volunteer effort at Camp Smitty happened as Amsted Design-Build is in the midst of celebrating its 25th year in business. Amsted Design-Build was recently named a finalist in 11 local housing design awards and for three provincial awards of distinction.

Along with Restore-All Corporation, Amsted Design-Build has been visiting Camp Smitty for over ten years, making repairs and improve-

Amsted Design-Build and its sister company Restore-All Corporation have once again this year helped out Camp Smitty operated by the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa.

Staff from Amsted Design-Build and Restore-All Corporation participated in the firms’ annual trip to Camp Smitty where, joined by family and trade partners, they volunteered their time and skills to undertake necessary upgrades to Camp Smitty’s infrastructure.

This team which numbered over 50 people repaired a roof, installed eavestrough, replaced windows, ran a water line to the Camp’s arts cabin, removed trees for safety reasons, renovated a bathroom, extended light to Camp Smitty’s amphitheatre and tore down and cleared away Camp Smitty’s old and collapsing rec hall.

Richmond Village Association develops strategic plan Special to the News

The Richmond Village Association (RVA) has developed a strategic plan.

The plan is meant to provide a roadmap for the RVA through to the year 2020.

Community activities, volunteer engagement, community resources/programming and the 2018 bicentennial celebrations form the cornerstones of the plan.

Over recent months, a challenge of developing this RVA strategic plan has been spearheaded by William Mayda who is on the RVA Board of Directors.

The vision as enunciated in this strategic plan is “A community working together for the benefit of all.” The mission as outlined in the strategic plan is “To work with residents, local organizations, businesses and governments to develop and support our community. We do this as a community of volunteers working for the betterment of the village.”

Strategic initiatives as stated in the strategic plan are to maintain and grow the RVA’s recognition as a body delivering quality community events, programs and advocacy.

Ongoing community activities are one of the core principles of this strategic plan. These activities are to help maintain the RVA as a recognized name in the delivery of community events and programs.

Success factors related to these ongoing activities will include enhanced delivery of core

RVA community events; championing of projects that enhance the natural and recreational resources of Richmond; strengthening community involvement in fostering village identity and pride; and providing leadership in programs aimed at youth and seniors.

Community engagement, another of the core principles of this strategic plan, is meant to encourage volunteerism as a key driver for the success of the RVA and the sustainability of the Richmond community.

Success factors related to community engagement include increased awareness of the RVA and its programs; successful advocacy for the needs of the village to all levels of government; and engagement of the local business community in achieving certain targeted objectives.

Community resources/programming, another core principle of this strategic plan, foresees develo0ping new accessible community space and providing programs targeted at youth.

Success factors related to this community resources/programming initiative include continuation of the youth centre program; development of a similar program for grade school aged youth; expansion of programming hours; preparation of architectural concepts and specifications for a community resource centre; securing funding and raising funds and building partnerships to lead to construction of community space; and completion of such a community resource centre facility.

The 2018 bicentennial celebrations for Richmond, another core principle of this strategic plan, will include a year of activities and events celebrating the 200th anniversary of the founding of Richmond.

Success factors related to these bicentennial celebrations include increased awareness of the 2018 celebrations; development of a sense of pride by residents of Richmond in the heritage of their community; and celebration of Richmond’s past while leaving a legacy for the future.

The RVA hopes to realize the vision and objectives of this 2015-2020 strategic plan by utilizing the latest technology and social media to reach out to the community; to solicit ideas for events and programs through community outreach; to strengthen the RVA’s marketing and branding initiatives; to continue to reach out to the business community to develop a unified Richmond Business Improvement Area (BIA)-

like organization; to continue the current youth centre program and to investigate options for expanding the program for grade school-age youth; to develop architectural drawings and detailed specifications for new community space; to develop a strategic fundraising and partnership drive to secure the appropriate financial resources for new community space; to select and acquire a site and build such new community space; to continue to develop a common marketing message for the 2018 celebrations; to undertake detailed events planning and fundraising for the 2018 celebrations; and to construct the first outdoor elements of a new community resource centre (community space).

Considered key to the RVA achieving the objectives of this new strategic plan are continued core program delivery, increased community involvement, engaged business and community leaders and effective government advocacy.

Sixty-five entries. Awesome. Incredible quality to all of them. Spectacular. And as for judging these entries – Challenging.

This was the story of the quilt show at this year’s recent Richmond Fair. The quilt show not only drew 65 entries but the entries all exhibited an incredible quality.

With such an amazing display of quilts, it was difficult for the judges to choose the winners.

But there were winners selected and these winners of the various sponsored prizes in the quilt show were as follows: Westboro Animal Hospital, Dr. Alvin Cameron’s choice – Janice Trudel; Country Quilter Viewers Choice, Sue Dewar; Running Stitch, Landscape Prize – Barb Regal; Made About Patchwork, Youth under 19 years of age Prize – Jordan Abt; Textile Traditions, Quilt for a Child – Roberta Boyd; Pickle Dish, Machine Quilting – Sue Dewar; Pickle Dish, Machine Quilting – Sarah Jane Smiley; Quilting Quarters, Aplique – Jutta Hof; Quilting Quarters, Table Runner – Krista Zaleski; Quilting Quarters, Pantograph Quilting – Nora Templeton; Quilting Quarters, Pantograph Quilting – Pauline Clarke.

Two quilts in the show were chosen to possibly represent the Richmond Fair at the Ontario Association of Agricultural Socieites in Torono. These quilts were done

by Sheryle Reddick for hand quilting and Evelyne Power for machine quilted.

The Richmond Fair’s quilt show committee had many volunteers (26 in total) turn out during the week to help put the quilt show together and to answers questions from the many who stopped by the quilt show table during the fair. Members of the Richmond Fair quilt show committee this year were Alison Tranter, Sheri Kavanagh, Cathy Griese and Pauline Farey.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Nothing interfered with the Monday wash.

Or for that matter, the Tuesday ironing.

Monday night, after the clothes hung on the line all day, they were brought into the kitchen stiff as boards. Wrinkles were smoothed out of Father’s overalls and the boys pants, socks matched and rolled into balls, and hand towels folded just right.

Some of the laundry, like my sister Audrey’s and my blouses had a bath in a basin of water and starch before being hung on the line on Monday, and they too could stand up alone when dried out.

Before we went to bed on Monday night, Mother would put the flat irons on the reservoir at the back of the stove, just to warm them.

Because once breakfast was over, the fry pan washed and put away, the irons would be moved to the front of the Findlay Oval to get burning hot and ready for the ironing.

Winter or summer, come Tuesday, the old kitchen stove had to be raging hot, or the irons would never be ready for the work ahead.

The ironing board was nothing more than a plank wrapped with a few layers of well-worn flannelette sheets, and then placed between the backs of two kitchen chairs. Once everything was in place, Mother took a used vinegar bottle

Monday wash andTuesday ironing

Laundry came with list of procedures

and filled it with water and tucked in a stopper with holes in it.

Everything that had been starched, and the flour bag tea towels, and pillow slips, Father’s Sunday shirt were well sprinkled with the vinegar bottle water and then rolled into tight sausages and stacked at one end of the kitchen table, close to the ironing board.

All the time the flat irons on the stove would be getting hot, absorbing the heat from the raging fire inside.

When I wasn’t away to the Northcote school, I loved to sit at one end of the table and watch Mother iron. There was a clamp affair with a smooth wood handle that fitted over the flat irons, and using a thumb press, Mother could change the irons when they cooled down and would no longer do the job. I thought that was very clever indeed.

But the cleverest trick of all, I thought, was when Mother tested the iron to see if it was hot enough.

She spit on the end of a finger and quickly tapped the bottom of the iron...if it sizzled, it was ready to use. If it didn’t, she moved over to another iron on the stove and tested it the same way. She did it so quickly, she never burned her finger, which I learned one day could happen if

you didn’t pay attention.

That day I was allowed to iron the tea towels. They, of course, were rolled up in tight little sausage shapes, and I laid one out flat on the ironing board, clamped the holder over an iron on the stove, spit on the end of my finger, and connected with the iron.

Of course, I wasn’t quick enough, and I was sure I had fried the end of my finger! I soon learned to barely touch the iron and to make sure there was plenty of spit before contact.

Ironing was a serious business back then. It took Mother the better part of Tuesday to complete the job. On a summer’s day, the heat in the kitchen was fierce, just to keep the irons hot on the Findlay Oval, and Mother’s face poured sweat.

When it got too hot to bear, she would put the iron back on the stove, and go out to the grape arbour with a glass of water and sit for a spell...just long enough to cool down and rest her tired back. And then it was back to the job that consumed every Tuesday.

When the last of the ironing was done, clean, starched blouses hung on wire hangers all around the kitchen. Father’s Sunday shirt would be on the back of a chair. The tea towels would be spread out to make sure they were perfectly

dry before being put neatly in the drawer on the back-to-the-wall cupboard.

Everything had to be tidied up before supper.

The ironing board tucked behind the door in the summer kitchen, and the flat irons allowed to cool down on the reservoir before being put on top of the warming closet on top of the stove waiting for the next Tuesday’s day of ironing.

Mother read in the Renfrew Mercury about a new type of iron that used gas to heat it. But she was having none of that. It was enough that she worried constantly about us either freezing to death in our beds on a cold winter’s night, or meeting our Maker from a fire in the winter when the Findlay Oval was plugged to the gunnies with blocks of wood to help keep us warm.

She didn’t need a gas iron that could explode and blow us all to pieces, all in the name of moving up to a modern convenience. No siree, the old flat irons would do just fine!

The role of the neck in post-concussion syndrome:

ASK THE CHIROPRACTOR

It is of little surprise that the neck can be involved in post-concussion syndrome when you consider that studies have shown that it takes only 4.5 g’s of acceleration to cause a mild strain injury to the tissues of the cervical spine.

In the event of a concussion the head can accelerate between 60 and 160 g’s.

What is really interesting is that the symptoms of post-concussion syndrome are very similar to injuries or dysfunction of the cervical spine.

This includes; headaches, dizziness, loss of balance, nausea, visual and auditory disturbances, reduced cognitive function and many other signs and symptoms.

Chiropractic care can help with post-concussion syndrome by restoring proper function to the cervical spine. It is often the missing part to the puzzle in the path to recovery. Dr. Jim Moore runs a family chiropractic practice at 5912 Hazeldean Rd. in Stittsville and practices Nucca technique which is focused on the upper cervical spine. He can be reached at 613 831 8374 or visit us at www.moorechiropractic.ca.

With an estimated 3.8 million concussions per year in the United States, there has been a lot of attention given to this condition. When the symptoms of a concussion linger for a number of weeks or months it is classified as postconcussion syndrome.

Argentinean garlic chicken with corn, tomato and parsley sauce Special to the News

This easy and colourful dish is even good cold the next day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so plan for leftovers. For Chilean flavours, substitute cilantro for parsley; for Peruvian, use basil instead. Cook extra corn the day before and chill to use here.

oregano, ground cumin and garlic and onion powders 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS Sauce: In food processor, combine parsley, onion, garlic, vinegar, oregano, hot pepper flakes, salt and pepper; process until finely chopped. With motor running, slowly add oil and process until well blended but with coarse texture. Pour into bowl. Stir in half the tomatoes. Cut corn from cobs; stir into bowl.

CARP FARMERS’ MARKET Community Resource Centre holds its annual open house Adam Kveton

adam.kveton@metroland.com

The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre held its annual open house at its Kanata headquarters on Monday, Sept. 21, celebrating 29 years in operation and introducing dozens of community members to its many services.

In addition to highlighting existing programs like counseling, housing for women and children at Chrysalis House, rides for seniors and adults with physical disabilities and much more, organizers touted this year’s theme – equity.

That resulted in the resource centre establishing a drop-in youth group for those who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer and other genders.

The centre also held Kanata’s first pride event in August.

The year’s focus was congratulated by several of the politicians present at the open house, including Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren who marched in Toronto’s gay pride parade for the first time this June. He called it “a wonderful experience,” and said more support and celebration of gay, lesbian and other diverse groups in the province is needed.

The resource centre’s executive director,

Cathy Jordan, shared some numbers describing what the centre has done in the past year.

- 1,306 students were reached by the bully prevention program - 167 women and children helped through Chrysalis House, while 307 were turned away - More than 2,000 parents and 2,600 children participated in playgroups - More than 7,457 drives were made for seniors and adults with physical disabilities - 239 volunteers contributed 26,160 hours, and increase of 15.75 per cent over last year - An estimated 18,000 individuals were served.

Jordan and others involved with the resource centre pointed out the centre’s need for more funding, though no firm promises were made by the politicians present at the open house.

Mayor Jim Watson did, however, point out the continuing growth in the city’s west end, saying that the city needs to keep in step with that growth, presumably referring to funding and services.

Other politicians present included Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, Kanata North Coun.

Marianne Wilkinson, Stittsville Coun. Shad Qadri and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry.

Special to the News

Residents in the King’s Park area of Richmond (Chanonhouse Drive, Dallaire Crescent, Mac Storey Street) were issued with a precautionary boil water advisory by Ottawa Public Health on Thursday, Sept. 24.

It was issued for these residents who receive their household water from the King’s Park communal well water system because of an equipment malfunction which resulted in a loss of water pressure in the area.

About 215 homes have been impacted by the boil water advisory.

City of Ottawa staff delivered notices to all of the affected homes.

A boil water advisory instructs residents to bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before using it for consumption purposes in

order to kill any microorganisms which may be in the water. Consumption purposes includes drinking, making juice, ice and infant formula and using for food preparation.

After boiling, the water should be left to cool before being used or it should be placed in clean containers to cool in the refrigerator.

Boiled water should be used when brushing teeth and also used to rinse dishes after washing them.

Non-consumption uses such as showering do not required any use of boiled water.

An alternative to boiling water is to consume only bottled water.

The boil water advisory was issued and is in force until such time as Ottawa Public Health is satisfied that water quality has been restored and tape water is safe to drink.
