Sports - A Camadian Olympic medalist visited Munster last Saturday. Antoine Valois-Fortier, who won the bronze medal in the men’s under 81 kilogram category in judo at the 2012 Summer Olympics, visited the Munster Judo Club at Munster Elementary School in Munster. He ran the Club’s judo class that day with attendees from Arnprior, Beckwith, Almonte, Cornwall, Prescott, Munster and other city of Ottawa locations. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and Mary Lou Davidson of the city of Ottawa’s recreation department both stopped in during Antoine’s visit to the Munster Judo Club last Saturday. Following the three and a half hour judo session, Antoine, eight year old Logan Sample who was instrumental in having Antoine visit the Munster Judo Club and a few others went to Danby’s Bar and Grill in Munster where they had lunch, with Antoine enjoying a famous Debbie Burger and Logan even sharing his French

fries with Antoine. This visit to the Munster Judo Club by the 24 year old Olympic bronze medalist Antoine Valois-Fortier had its beginnings last spring when eight year old Logan Sample and his dad Geoff Sample from Munster started an online conversation with Antoine. Logan and his dad both practice judo at the Munster Judo Club. In their online communication, Logan asked Antoine, who lives in Montreal, Quebec, if he would visit the Munster Judo Club. Well, with the help and involvement of his dad Geoff, his judo instructors and the city of Ottawa, this Olympic medalist did end up visiting Munster and the Munster Judo Club last Saturday. This was not Logan’s only request of Antoine. While Antoine was in Russia at the 2014 world championships where he placed second in the under 81 kilogram class, Logan challenged Antoine to the ALS ice bucket challenge. See OLYMPIC, page 3

Olympic Landowners group medalist holding conference at Munster on property rights Continued from page 1

Antoine Valois-Fortier’s bronze medal performance in the men’s under 81 kilogram class in judo at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London made him the first Canadian to win a medal in judo at the Olympics in 12 years and only the fifth Canadian to ever win such an Olympic medal in judo. He had entered the 2012 Olympics ranked 21st in the world in his weight class. After several upset victories, he made it to the quarter finals where he lost to a Russian but he made the repechage and defeated Emmanuel Lucenti of Argentina, advancing to the bronze medal match which he won. Antoine is coached by Nicolas Gill who was the last Canadian before Antoine to win an Olympic medal. Nicolas won a silver medal in the 2000 Olympics.

Notice of Study Commencement Lemieux Island WPP Intake Improvements Environmental Assessment The City of Ottawa (the City) has initiated a Class Environmental Assessment (EA) for improvements to the Lemieux Island Water Purification Plant (WPP) intake. The City operates two WPPs to supply drinking water to the city—the Lemieux Island WPP (capacity of 400 ML/d; built in 1931) and the Britannia WPP (capacity of 360 ML/d; built in 1961). The source water for both plants is the Ottawa River. The two plants serve 825,000 people, with the Lemieux Island WPP supplying roughly half of the water consumed. In the past, the City has had issues at the Lemieux Island WPP, with frazil ice buildup at the intake piping. Frazil ice forms in open, turbulent, supercooled water which is typical of the river conditions near the plant intake. Because of the relatively shallow depth of water above the intake piping, frazil ice builds up below the ice surface and interferes with the flow entering the plant. This frazil ice can block the intake pipe and associated screening, resulting in unplanned WPP shutdowns or significantly restricted plant flows, which puts the water supply at risk. The City is currently investigating solutions for improving the intake to mitigate the impacts of frazil ice on the WPP. This could involve the extension of the existing intake further into the river to locate the piping in deeper water. This study is being conducted in accordance with the requirements for Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, amended 2004, 2007 and 2011). Phase 1 involves identification of the problem or opportunity to be addressed by the project. Phase 2 involves development and evaluation of alternatives to address the problem or opportunity. The final deliverable for this project will be an environmental assessment report outlining the preferred alternative for modifying the inlet structure to prevent restrictions to the plant intake due to frazil ice. This report will be filed and available for public review for a period of 30 days upon completion. Stakeholder (public and agency) consultation is a key element of the Class EA process. One Public Information Centre (PIC) is planned for this project (with an advertised notice also provided prior to the session), and project information will be available on the City of Ottawa website, ottawa.ca. A notice of completion will be issued upon close of the project. A mailing list for notification of project activities and the PIC is now being compiled. If you wish to receive notification of the EA activities (PIC), or if you have any questions regarding the project, please contact one of the people listed below. Comments are welcome at any time during the study. André Bourque, P. Eng.

Local elections matter

igns, signs everywhere are signsâ&#x20AC;Ś They are popping up all over the landscape like dandelions in the spring. The 2014 municipal election is in full swing if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already guessed by candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; signs jockeying for positions on every corner of the map. Some signs are vibrant in colour, design and message, not to mention in size; others are plain and simple on a much smaller scale. No matter the size, or message, colour or noncolour, one thing is the same â&#x20AC;&#x201C; keep it legal if you are campaigning. Many do not know there are legal ramifications about erecting election signs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the biggest infraction being permission. According to law enforcement agencies, as well as the Elections Act, there are several laws, rules and regulations to which to adhere. So before candidates go off on a whim, wielding a mallet and a truckload of signs, please make sure you have permission to do so.

This will be an exciting year for voting and changes in the municipalities that this newspaper covers. There are several newcomers and veteran politicians out in full force soliciting your vote. In the next few weeks leading up to Election Day, Oct. 27, we will fill our pages with even more candidate profiles when space allows, then we will recap before voters go to the polls, just who is up for election or re-election in some cases. Being prepared to vote is also an important issue. If you are 18 or older, a Canadian citizen, and you reside in Ottawa (and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not prohibited from voting under the Municipal Elections Act, or otherwise by law) then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your given right to cast a ballot. Ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list by calling your municipal office. Visit www.ottawa.ca for details to make sure you can vote on Oct. 27. No matter what your opinion or stance on the issues that matter most in your community, exercise your right to vote and make your voice heard.

Running a city doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be dull

lections have a way of creeping up on us. For years we think of the thing as four years away and all of a sudden itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a month away. Why werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we warned? Now, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t true everywhere. Toronto has been, in a bizarre way, in an election campaign for at least a couple of years. But Ottawa, thank heaven, is a quieter place. Our mayor and councillors generally avoid the outrageous. Which means that we might be thinking about issues instead of personalities when we go to the polls on Oct. 27. Now the trick is to find some. The first public opinion polls on the subject, described in an article published last week, are not encouraging. They show property taxes topping the list

the other issues really matter because no politician will dare propose action on them. That means nothing on homelessness, no new library, no progress on making our waterfront a more interesting place. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a city that holds the line on taxes and does nothing else. Now, there are those for whom this is an exciting concept, doing nothing. From time to time they pop up in various places, promising never to increase taxes, promising perhaps even cut them. They never succeed (see: Larry Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien) although they sometimes claim that they have (see: Rob Ford).

How much did the Eiffel Tower increase the mill rate? Do you even care? Still, no one, not even me, wants to encourage crazy spending on lavish mega-projects. But it would be nice if our candidates for mayor and council could propose some imaginative things for the city to do. The point is, they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to do so.

Music, music everywhere! John Curry

News - Music, music, music! This is a big part of Jessica Wolowich’s life these days, as she not only is performing with a band “Ruin” but also the grade seven student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School has joined the school band, playing alto saxophone, has joined the school’s guitar club and is singing in the choir. Now, that’s a lot of music! The 11 year old really saw her interest in music bloom when she attended a summer camp at The Music Factory, a music and production school in Ottawa which features music lessons and instruction as well as music production. She says that she used to sing before attending the summer camp but now admits that she was not singing properly. She notes that music has always been important in her home, with her father and his guitar and with her mother singing

and playing the piano. She now is a regular at The Music Factory where she and the two other members of the band “Ruin” get together for two hours every Monday, working on cover songs and writing songs. She says that it is “super fun” to be there. The band has been performing frequently, even recently on Rogers TV. The band has played at Fun Haven, at the Billings Estate and at West Fest, among other gigs. “We’ve been all over the place,” Jessica says, adding that the band may soon do a music video. The Music Factory not only has a recording studio but also a stage where the band can perform in practice. The band has recorded three songs at The Music Factory so far and, indeed, it is Jessica’s hope to someday be a recording artist. However, she acknowledges that the music industry is a tough industry in which to make it. She feels, though, that she has got a good start in the

industry and now at only 11 years of age, she has done more than most. She says that thanks to her training at The Music Factory, her voice has improved. Jessica has joined the school band, opting to play the alto saxophone. She likes the way that the saxophone sounds and thinks that the saxophone is an instrument that she may someday be able to play when she performs with her band “Ruin.” She could have opted to play the clarinet in the school band but felt that it would be too easy an instrument to play considering that she played the recorder in elementary school. The saxophone gives me a challenge, she says. Taking up instruments is nothing new for Jessica. She now plays the rhythm guitar with her band even though she had never played the guitar before her time at The Music Factory. She now has an acoustic rhythm guitar which she plays with the band. In addition, she has joined a guitar

club at Sacred Heart. She is really loving her first days at Sacred Heart, not only because of the music opportunities but also because she finds the teachers awesome. She particularly likes math. The three-piece band “Ruin” plays a “little bit of a lot of things,” according to Jessica. She says that her two male band mates like heavy metal music while she prefers soft rock or sometimes pop and rock. Hence, the band plays a variety of music. And as if all of this music in her life were not enough to keep Jessica busy, she is also a figure skater. She says that she loves figure skating as it helps keep her fit but most importantly is fun. This year she has joined a synchronized skating team associated with the Goulbourn Skating Club. “I’m keeping busy,” she says, adding that her schedule “is kind of full right now.” Jessica also is an avid reader and particularly likes The JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Hunger Games series as well Sacred Heart High School grade seven student Jessica as young adult novels. Wolowich is singing with the band “Ruin.”

Letter: Dog poop at fairgrounds is non-issue and biting is fiction

Editor: I am from one of several families that regularly walk my dog at the Richmond fairgrounds. Dog poop not being picked up is a non-issue according toe Fair board second vice-president Ian Stackhouse when we spoke. While I know not everyone is as diligent as they should be, those of us who are make sure that the site is kept clean. On clean-up day this past spring, we chose to clean up the fairgrounds. As for biting, I believe this to be ﬁction. I have been walking my dog there for years and have never heard of a biting issue. R0012872208

I will admit that some dogs, mine included like to bark and could be considered intimidating. I always make sure that whomever is getting barked at knows my mutt is friendly. If he was ever to bite anyone, he would be put down – no second chance. I fully understand that the fairgrounds are private property and it has been to have a place where the dogs can run and socialize. As a responsible dog walker, I will of course respect the wishes of the Fair Board. Carl Seyler Richmond

Bake sale and BBQ at Munster United Church Special to the News

News - With summer now at its end, prime BBQ season is also coming to a close. Munster United Church in Munster is holding one final BBQ this Saturday, Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be held in conjunction with a bake sale that will start at 9 a.m. and then run through to 1 p.m. This event allows you not only to savour a season-ending BBQ with someone else doing all of the work cooking over a hot BBQ but also gives you the opportunity to pick up some delicious baked goodies, again with someone else having done the baking. Everyone is welcome to attend this bake sale and BBQ at Munster United Church this Saturday, Oct. 4. Munster United Church is located on Munster Road in the heart of Munster. The current Munster United Church building goes back to 1895 but its heritage can be traced back to the very beginnings of Methodism in the Goulbourn area in 1823. It was back in 1823 when Ezra Healey was the Methodist preacher who visited the Goulbourn area. The start of the Munster congregation can be traced to this. A first log church for the Munster area was built on property provided by John and Ann Shillington on what is now Copeland Road east of Munster Road. The pioneer Shillington cemetery can still be found along this stretch of Copeland Road.

It was in 1849 that John and Ann Shillington deeded property to the trustees of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada. The local trustees, all residents of Goulbourn township, were Andrew Trimble, Sr., James Shillington, Hugh Ross, Thomas Brownlee, James Henderson, William Haskin and Joseph Anderson. The Wallings map of 1863 showing Carleton County shows this Methodist church built beside the cemetery. However, the 1879 Beldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlas for Carleton County shows only the cemetery and not the church. The 1863 Wallings map also shows a road

leading from what is now Franktown Road through the east and west parts of lot 14 and then angling across the high half of lot 13 and the east half of lot 12 of the fifth concession to link up with the fifth line (Copeland Road) at the church and cemetery. It is known that in 1839, Rev. William Bell preached in this Shillington church with at least 80 in attendance. It is also known that on July 12, 1868, members of the Stapledon Loyal Orange Lodge No. 471 walked from the Orange Hall at Stapledon to this fifth line (Shillington) church.

As far as the Shillington cemetery goes, the earliest burial there recorded on a gravestone is the death of Jane, wife of Henry Hare in April 1827 at the age of 42. The last burial there is that of Elizabeth, second wife of William Sample, who died on Sept. 14, 1906, at the age of 72. It is believed that following establishment of the Munster cemetery in 1886, this old Shillington cemetery was eventually unused and was abandoned. In the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Goulbourn township was approached to have the cemetery restored. Action was taken to clean up the cemetery area, re-setting the stones, with some being placed in concrete walls. This work was completed in 1968. Beldenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Atlas of 1879 shows a Methodist church at the corner of lot 6, concession 5 of Goulbourn which is in the heart of Munster. It is known that land was purchased to build a church in Munster in 1877 and that a new Methodist brick church was built, costing over $3,000 and completed by 1879. It was this brick church that burned to the ground after its woodwork caught fire from the church stove before a choir practice in January 1894. The loss was pegged at $3,500, with no insurance. But the current Munster United Church was built on the site, opening in January 1895.

Barring treatment for the mentally ill Prisons are the new institutions for people with mental-health issues say critics of Canada’s penal policies Blair Edwards

blair.edwards@metroland.com

he day she learned her son was laying in a catatonic state in his prison cell, Farhat Rehman became an advocate for the rights of prisoners with mentalhealth problems. Rehman remembers sitting nervously in the waiting room of Millhaven Institution, a federal maximumsecurity prison in Bath, Ont., near Kingston, last February. Rehan Kurd had been convicted of second-degree murder and given a life sentence in 2005 with no possibility of parole for 15 years. While suffering from delusions, caused by his schizophrenia, Kurd had stabbed to death his friend and mentor Mohammed Khalil in Ottawa on Feb. 27, 2001. It had only been a few months since Kurd had been transferred to Millhaven from Kingston Penitentiary, which shut down in November 2013. The 42-year-old Ottawa man had served eight years at the Kingston Penitentiary’s regional treatment centre, which provided psychiatric care. When the penitentiary closed in the fall of 2013, Kurd was moved to Millhaven, where his physical and mental health rapidly deteriorated, said his mother. Doped up on risperidone, an antipsychotic used to treat his schizophrenia, he spent up to 24 hours a day laying on his bed in his prison cell. Kurd had been placed in solitary confinement several times over the years – for as long as two to three months at a time, said Rehman. In the past, Kurd had occasionally suffered bouts of illness during which he would sometimes “get loud,” said his mother, resulting in his transfer to the acute-care centre in the Kingston Penitentiary, where he was put in solitary confinement and kept under 24hour observation by a video camera. The last time she had visited her son, in January 2014, Kurd was so groggy from the side effects of his medication, he could barely speak,

Rehan Kurd’s health rapidly deteriorated when he was transferred last year from the regional treatment centre at Kinston Pentitentiary to Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security jail, says his mother and Ottawa resident, Farhat Rehman, who has since begun advocating for his transfer to a hospital.

al Service Canada is in the process of decommissioning some of those beds. “We’ve already identified that the CSC doesn’t have enough treatment beds to meet demand, but they’re actually closing some anyway,” said Sapers. “And it’s not because they’re empty right now, it’s just for other operational reasons, which only the Correctional Service Canada could explain.” The CSC has come to the conclusion it has too many psychiatric beds based on the ratio of beds to the general population of Canada. The problem is you’re comparing apples to oranges, he said. “They are actually quite candid in saying this is a work in process, that they’re trying to get the balance right.” said Sapers. “But my caution to them is, ‘Don’t experiment with people’s lives. If you’re trying to get the balance right, do your homework and then make your changes. Don’t make them running changes and put people at risk.’” STAFF SHORTAGE

While she waited, a correctional officer appeared, asking her to follow him to his office. “I’m sorry, but I went to get your son and he’s not responding,” the officer said, according to Rehman. “I think he’s comatose or something. He’s not responding.” A doctor came into the room and explained that her son refused to take his medication, clozaril, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia in adults, so he was put back on risperidone, which caused drowsiness. She begged the doctor to let her see her son and tell him she was there. After another half hour his son ap-

peared in a closed visiting room. “So I was put back into the enclosed (area) behind the glass, but at least I saw him,” said Rehman. “I talked to him and he was feeling groggy.” During the three-hour drive home to Ottawa from the prison, Rehman heard a radio report that the federal government was funding two psychiatric beds for female prisoners at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in Brockville. “That was so hopeful for me,” said Rehman. “This is the time I can (start advocating) for my son.” Rehman soon started writing letters to the Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada, the federal and provincial ministries of correctional services, anyone who might be able to help her son. The Office of the Correctional Investigator of Canada has since recommended Kurd receive care in a hospital, said his mother.

Kurd is just one of approximately three-dozen inmates serving time in Canada’s federal prisons who should receive care at a hospital, said Howard Sapers, the Correctional Investigator of Canada. “There’s no doubt in my mind that we have individuals who will not benefit from a period of incarceration in any way,” he said. “Their mental illness will prevent them from being able to participate in any programming that would address their criminogenic needs and these are people who are profoundly mentally ill and diagnosed with significant psychiatric disorders and they need to be hospitalized.” Sapers has also recommended federal jails stop the use of long solitary confinements of offenders with acute mental-health needs. LACK OF BEDS

With a population of approximately 15,244 inmates, about 12 per cent, or 1,829 inmates, will be diagnosed with a significant mental illness, such as schizophrenia or major depressive disorder, said Sapers. This translates into the need for a corresponding number of psychiatric inpatient beds, however the five regional treatment centres in Canada’s federal prison system only have approximately 675 beds – less than half what is needed. To make matters worse, Correction-

Correctional Service Canada is also struggling to hire the needed psychiatrists and psychologists. “We’re seeing some big vacancies in some occupational groups,” said Sapers. Last year, 10 per cent of the correctional services’ psychologist positions were left vacant, and the vacancy rate of other health-care workers – from nurses and pharmacists to doctors and social workers – hovered between five and 10 per cent. Not only are these rates high, they don’t show the reality of the staffing gap, said Sapers. “Some of the positions, which have been vacant for a long time have simply been eliminated,” said Sapers. “So it makes your vacancy rate look smaller if you just stop trying to fill the position.” Meanwhile, some of the positions have been underfilled, he said, meaning the correctional service has hired people with psychology degrees but who are not licensed by the provincial governing body for psychologists. “And it’s not just psychologists,” said Sapers. In the past, the correctional service has hired people with lesser credentials than required to do a job, which means they must fall under the supervision of someone who is qualified.

Metroland East Special Report

Continued from page 12

During the past decade, Canadian jails have seen an alarming increase in the number of inmates with mental illnesses. Nearly half of all incarcerated federal offenders receive a mentalhealth service, according to statistics provided by the federal prisons’ ombudsman. Correctional Service Canada estimates 13 per cent of male offenders and 29 per cent of female offenders in federal custody have mental-health problems when they are admitted to prison. These rates have doubled since 1996. Meanwhile, one in four inmates in Ontario’s provincial jails have been identified as having a possible mental-health issue, according to the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Over the last decade, Correctional Service Canada has received approximately $50 million in shortterm funding to improve mentalhealth care delivered in federal prisons – $30 million for community mental-health funding and $21.5 million to fund key elements of its strategy, such as computer mentalscreening and training of front-line staff. The correctional department received a further $16.6 million a year, this time in permanent funding, for institutional mental-health services in 2009. But the federal government has a lot of catching up to do, according to a 2010 review of the CSC’s mental-health strategy commissioned by the federal prisons’ ombudsman. “The government will need to invest significant amounts of money in mental health to make up for the decades of neglect to bring the (CSC) to a level of best practices and professional standards,” said John Service, in his report, Under Warrant, A Review of the Correctional Service of Canada’s Mental Health Strategy. “These investments will have to be made quickly and continue over the next decade or two.” Too often, security trumped treatment, stated the report. “CSC mental-health staff members were clear that too often security issues impede or prevent offenders from accessing programs and treatment, often for days and weeks at a time,” states the report. The federal prisons’ ombudsman has recommended the CSC consider offering alternative forms of treatment, such as external healthcare providers, in some instances. The CSC has rejected the recommendation.

HOWARD SAPERS

HEATHER STUART

In 2011, a CSC consultant’s report concluded that a full transfer of CSC health services to other healthcare authorities was impractical because Canada doesn’t have a national health-delivery authority. Instead, Correctional Service Canada is always looking to develop partnerships with other agencies that provide mental health-care services, stated the CSC in response to the federal prisons’ ombudsman’s 2011-12 report. For instance, Institut PhilippePinel, a forensic hospital in Montreal, provides inpatient psychiatric care to female offenders. In federal prisons, most mentalhealth care is provided at one of the five regional treatment centres, where inmates receive treatment before being returned to the general prison population. But services are in such high demand, the offenders are often released too early, according to a 2013 report by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “The high demand on (regional treatment centre) services also means that they are only available to those with the most acute mental illnesses and other inmates are left untreated or with a limited clinical attention,” states the report. “These offenders receive very little mental-health services and are instead placed in segregation as a security measure.” On the provincial side, all inmates in Ontario jails have access to a variety of mental-health supports, including psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers, said Andrew Morrison, a spokesman for the Ontario Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services. Corrections officers are also trained to detect possible signs of mental illness, he added. Ontario jails have access to four specialized treatment centres for inmates with mental-health needs, he said, and the ministry partners with various social service agencies to provide the necessary programs and services when they are in custody and to assist them when they are discharged.

The province has invested $50 million since 2004 to expand community services such as crisis teams, dedicated beds, mental-health court workers, case managers and supportive housing. But services provided in provincial jails are inconsistent at best, according to a 2012 study by the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario. “Offenders with mental illness are extremely vulnerable in the federal and provincial corrections systems,” concluded the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health report. “Inmates with mental illness do not manage well in prison as demonstrated through disruptive behaviour, aggression, violence, withdrawal and refusal or inability to follow orders and rules.” FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS

The influx of prisoners identified as needing mental-health services isn’t a recent issue, according to Service, a former executive director of the Canadian Psychological Association. This is a problem that has been decades in the making, starting in the 1960s with the deinstitutionalization of people with mental-health disorders across Canada, he states in his Under Warrant report. With the advent of improved psychological care and pharmaceuticals, patients could receive treatment within their communities. This worked for some, states the report, but “at the same time, many people with mental-health problems and disorders were left languishing, not receiving the treatment they needed and consequently coming to the attention of police and the courts.” Critics of the federal government’s tough-on-crime legislation say a large percentage of offenders with mental-health issues are falling through the cracks of a system lacking necessary treatment and support. Mental-health factors do not provide a strong indication of whether an inmate will reoffend, according to Public Safety Canada’s analysis

of a collection of international studies on risk factors for recidivism among “mentally disordered offenders,” carried out between 1959 and 2011. Some people with mental illnesses may commit a crime or “behave in ways that draw police attention,” according to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. “How police respond to these interactions is an early predictor of one’s likelihood to be further involved in the justice system,” the centre’s report stated. Heather Stuart, a professor of community health and epidemiology at Queen’s University, who holds the Bell Canada mental health and anti-stigma research chair, said that 60 to 80 per cent of people in jails and prisons would meet the criteria for having a mental disorder. “That suggests to me that there is a high recidivism,” she said. “It used to be that people would be in hospitals in the past, a lot of them, and so the theory goes – it’s called a balloon theory – and if you squeeze the balloon at one end the air goes out the other end, so there’s a certain number of people that may need institutional supports,” she said. “When we closed the hospitals, we took those institutional supports away from them and we didn’t put any supports in the community to help them out to replace the hospitals,” said Stuart. “A lot of them end up in jails, just because they’re out in the community.” Farhat Rehman tried to find help in the community for her son – as a child he was referred to a family psychiatrist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and as an adult he was later diagnosed with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. “My son’s diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder was only confirmed in the assessment after he was apprehended in February 2001,” said Rehman. Prisoners with mental-health issues who are judged not criminally responsible receive treatment in prison and the possibility of leading a productive life, she said. “But for those like my son, there seems to be nothing available except for a punishment model that results in lasting damage and no end to their incarceration.” With files from Erin McCracken

Richmond Fair goes back to 1844 John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The annual Richmond Fair traces its roots back to 1844 when the County of Carleton Agricultural Society was organized, with the Honourable James Skead as first president. These first fairs or exhibitions were held at Bells Corners, with a fairgrounds having buildings developed over the years. It was doing quite well until the Central Canada Exhibition began at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa in 1888. Attendance at the Bells Corners site dipped, while the Central Canada Exhibition prospered. This brought about a decision to move this county fair from Bells Corners to Richmond to the present-day location which was then known as Goodwood Park, owned by Hugh Rielly of the nearby Rielly House hotel, who rented the Goodwood Park annually for the Fair days. Despite rainy weather, something which would become a tradition regarding the Richmond Fair, this first Fair in Richmond drew a great crowd and its tenure in Richmond looked rosy. Structures on the fairgrounds in these early years in Richmond included the Agricultural building which was torn down in 1979 to make way for the new Richmond Curling Club building; a grandstand and band shell; a show ring; a race track; a secretary’s office; and a dining hall. Horse barns, slope-roofed structures, were built in a continuous line from the rear of the present arena northward to the current gateway entrance along the Huntley Road. The pig and sheep building was located near where the present “Old McDonald Farm” building stands today. Attendance at the Richmond Fair had been dwindling in the early years of this century, and by 1919, things did not look so good for the Fair, which had become largely a local rather than county attraction. However, the Richmond Fair then became the location for the finals of school fairs from across Carleton County. This brought back the crowds, and by 1927, the Agricultural Society was able to purchase the 17 acre fairgrounds from Hugh Rielly for $2500. Later, new stables were built at the rear of the fairgrounds. A new grandstand, erected in 1934, was destroyed by fire in 1973. In 1944, the 100th anniversary of the Agricultural Society was held, with the Honourable George Dunbar, a native of Richmond, opening the Fair and dedicating a cairn and flagpole at the front of the fairgrounds. Cement block ticket offices at the walk-in and drive-in entrances on Perth Street were erected to commemorate this 100th anniversary. One of these cement block gatehouses was removed in the early 1980s, while the second one was removed in 1990. On September 1, 1950, the Richmond Memorial Community Centre, built on land donated by the Carleton County Agricultural Society in return for the use of the building on Fair days and built in honour of Richmond’s heroes killed in two World Wars, was opened at a ceremony attended by the Honourable George Dunbar. In 1950-51, the old Town Hall was purchased by the Agricultural Society and moved 14 Stittsville News - Thursday, October 2, 2014

across Perth Street to serve as a new dining hall. In this move, the lower floor of the twostorey building was removed. In 1957, the 4-H Club building was erected on the fairgrounds. From 1960 until 1980, this building was also the home of the Richmond Curling Club. In 1962, the Society purchased an adjoining 2.4 acres from Harold Brown for $2,000. On September 21, 1962, an historical plaque commemorating the Richmond military settlement was unveiled on the fairgrounds. In 1973, the name of the Agricultural Society was changed from the County of Carleton Agricultural Society to the Richmond Agricultural Society. In 1974, the old Richmond Memorial Community Centre was demolished and replaced by the current Richmond arena and community centre. In 1977, new bleacher seats to accommodate 500 people were purchased in lieu of rebuilding the grandstand. These seats could be moved around the fairgrounds to accommodate the crowd watching the action in several show rings. After the 1979 Fair, the Agricultural Hall, which had stood on its site for 84 years, was demolished to make way for a new Curling Club building. The Curling Club building is used for exhibits and displays during Fair days. In 1983, the Richmond Agricultural Society erected a new 60 foot by 120 foot barn on the fairgrounds. Two of the old barns were torn down to make room for this new barn. In 1989, the Agricultural Society installed new chain link fencing at the north end of the fairgrounds. In 1990, a new sign and gate proclaiming the Richmond Fair was erected at the main entrance to the fairgrounds. This was when the second gatehouse at this entrance was removed. 1990 was the first year for the Farm Experience tent at the Fair. This is where displays of livestock, grain and forage crops and demonstrations, such as sheep shearing, take place. 1990 was also the first year for the holding of a demolition derby at the Richmond Fair. This has remained one of the most popular events at the Fair right up to the present. 1990 also was the first year for the holding of a Richmond Fair lottery draw, with weekly early bird draws leading up to the Fair. This raffle draw continues today. 1991 was the first year that parking for the general public was prohibited on the fairgrounds itself. Public parking was provided both east and west of the fairgrounds. 1993 was the first year for a lawn garden tractor and ATV pull at the fairgrounds. After the Fair in 1993, tile drainage was installed at the fairgrounds to help dry up the fairgrounds after wet weather. In 1994, a plaque commemorating 150 years of the Fair was unveiled as was a new logo for the Fair, designed by Heather Whitbread. In 1995, new washrooms were built at the Dining Hall building. In 1997, a new heavy horse ring was constructed, which was later followed by a new western horse show ring.

A highlight of the 2004 Richmond Fair was the appearance and performance of the worldfamous Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride. The year 2005 saw the construction of a new 40 foot by 120 foot barn at the Richmond fairgrounds. The new barn was built west of the existing barns, near the intersection of the roadway leading in from the Huntley Road which runs in front of the existing barns and the roadway that runs along the west side of the light horse show ring. The barn was built for the use of both light horse show exhibitors and sheep exhibitors. The construction of this new barn was a first step by the Richmond Agricultural Society to improve the situation regarding the barns on the fairgrounds. Stalls were added to this new barn in time for the 2006 Richmond Fair. The year 2006 saw a major change not to the fairgrounds but to Perth Street running in front of the fairgrounds. A major reconstruction and rehabilitation of the street undertaken by the city of Ottawa has meant new pavement, new curbs and new sidewalks. It has also resulted in erection of a brand new fence across the Perth Street frontage of the fairgrounds. The year 2006 also saw the continued growth of the Fair’s miniature horse show, making it probably the largest such show in Eastern Ontario. The Richmond Fair was the first fair in the area to hold a miniature horse show, inaugurating it in 2001. In 2007, just before the Fair, new windows were installed in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. Late in 2007, the Richmond Agricultural Society began the removal of the old heavy horse stable located immediately north of the newer and larger show barn on the fairgrounds. The barn had been used for the stabling of heavy horses in recent years but it was not used at all for that purpose at the 2007 Fair. This was because the show barn, which was completely fitted with stalls, was able to accommodate up to 85 heavy horses. The barn, which was roughly 30 feet wide by 100 feet long, was leaning badly in recent years and was dark inside, making it difficult to use for heavy horse exhibitors. The old barn was taken down in stages, with the work going into 2008, with the tin removed from the exterior walls first. Then the old stalls were removed and the upper part of the barn was intentionally collapsed. The space that this old barn was occupying at the fairgrounds was used for the parking of horse trailers during the 2008 Fair. The removal of this old heavy horse stable still left three older barns on the fairgrounds, along with the newer and larger show barn and the new barn erected in 2005. The year 2008 also saw the northern area of the fairgrounds dug up so that a sewer line could be extended from Huntley Road through the fairgrounds to serve the new Hyde Park development west of the fairgrounds. This work extended through several months in the late winter and spring. The Agricultural Society also took action to prevent severe leaking which had been occurring in the old curling club building. The round steel roof had its joints covered with an expandable material meant to prevent the leaks

while also expanding and contracting with the steel roofing. The Agricultural Society is also looking at taking steps to repaint this roof since its paint is peeling after just three years. This painting was done before the 2009 Fair. The Agricultural Society had been using this old curling club building for commercial exhibits at Fair time as well as for storage purposes for the rest of the year. The front of the building has been used as the Fair office. 2008 also saw a new announcer’s booth for the cattle ring thanks to the construction efforts of students at South Carleton High School in Richmond. The new booth was not completely finished for the 2008 Fair but it was used anyway. After the Fair, it was returned to South Carleton High School so that students could complete the project. SCHS students also previously constructed one of the wagons which are used to transport seniors around the grounds at Fair time. The 2008 Fair also saw the Agricultural Society combine the heavy horse and light horse show rings into one big ring for the heavy horse hitch classes, particularly the six horse hitches. This practice continued for the 2009 Fair, with a record number of six horse hitches, 12 in all, participating. The 2009 Fair, which enjoyed sunny conditions throughout and broke the attendance record set just the year before, saw a newly designed sign at the main entrance between the arena and Dining Hall. The 2009 Fair was also the first one at which the Richmond Agricultural Society received permission from the city of Ottawa to have Fair parking on the Saturday and Sunday at the adjacent Richmond Lions Park. An admission gate was set up in the northwest corner of the fairgrounds for convenient access to the Fair by those parking at Lions Park. Fair parking was also available on the east side of Huntley Road in the developing King’s Grant area. However, with new streets under construction, this would be the last year that the area would be available for Fair parking. The 2009 Fair saw record entries in the sheep show as well as in the Demolition Derby whose popularity continues to grow each year. The 2013 Fair was a study of contrasts. The Friday saw a record crowd attend thanks to glorious sunny weather and a program that included an agricultural awareness program for students, a demolition derby and rock legend Kim Mitchell performing in the arena. This came on the heels of a Thursday evening program that featured a performance by famous Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster and her husband, an equally renowned fiddler, Donnell Leahy. But the Saturday of the 2013 saw a steady rain all day long. The parade was held with lots of umbrellas in evidence, both on the floats and among the onlookers. Outdoor activity on the grounds was virtually non-existent. Even on the Sunday, which was dry but cool, the heavy, light and western horse shows were cancelled due to the wet grounds and fears that the horses involved could be seriously injured. For this 2013 Fair, the grounds saw interlocking stone areas installed at the rear of the Dining Hall and also at the entrance area to the Fair office in the old Curling Club building. The area directly behind the Dining Hall was re-graded with crushed rock replacing the former grass.

News - The Canadian Military Wives Choir has completed its inaugural year which was one of growth and lots of singing. The choir marked its first birthday on Friday, Sept. 19 with a celebration at The Glen Scottish Restaurant and Pub in Stittsville that featured a few drinks, a birthday cake and a spontaneous sing song which entertained others at the restaurant at that time. In its first year, this Canadian Military Wives Choir has grown from an initial 14 members to 54 members at present. The choir is not longer actively looking for new members but if growth continues, it may end up splitting into two choirs. But that would be in the future. Right now, the choir is working hard to get itself known throughout the military community. And the choirsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second year promises to be one filled with song. Dates already on its calendar include singing Christmas carols in the Rotunda on Parliament Hill in December and performing at the International Military Tattoo in Hamilton in May, 2015. This performance in Hamilton will cost $6,000 for transportation there and back and so donations are being accepted. To donate or to contact the choir for any reason, go to the website http://www.canadianmilitarywiveschoir.ca/welcome.html . This Canadian Military Wives Choir, which rehearses at Stittsville United Church, began in the fall of 2013. Following in the footsteps of the United Kingdomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s British Military Wives Choir, this Canadian Military Wives Choir is a three-part womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choir with all of the members partners of active military personnel. The choir practices weekly and it exists to provide support, both vocal and personal, for its members. Engagements in its first year include performing at a Remembrance Day service, appearing on a local TV

By David Johnston State-of-the-art German engineering in a world class design. That’s what sets MercedesBenz above other car manufacturers. And now they have raised the bar again with the introduction of the new C-Class sedan and GLA sport utility vehicle (SUV). A special unveiling at Ogilvie MercedesBenz Sept. 17 introduced Ottawa to the C 300, C 400 and GLA SUV. Reimagined from every angle, the next generation of the world’s bestselling Mercedes-Benz family emerges as more sophisticated, more powerful and more luxurious than ever before. An all-new exterior artfully merges elegant proportions with aggressive bodywork, while a roomier -- and completely redesigned -- cabin delivers an even higher level of luxury and craftsmanship. “To accompany our legendary 4MATIC allwheel drive, the all-new C-Class also receives a major upgrade in the performance department, thanks to mightier and more efficient engines, reengineered suspensions, and for the first time, an available AIRMATIC suspension,” says Sales Manager Leslie Mise. Classleading innovation comes courtesy of not only Mercedes-Benz “Intelligent Drive” safety and assistance technology --such as standard PRESAFE® -- but also an advanced suite of in-vehicle systems that include an all-new touchpad interface and next-generation ‘infotainment‘. The C-Class features newly designed four and six cylinder turbocharged engines in a vehicle that is larger in every dimension than its predecessor. The C-Class retains its sporty demeanor with lightweight body construction with 20 per cent more aluminum parts and electromechanical Direct Steering with ‘Steer Control’. The Intelligent Drive system, optional for the C 400 4Matic, uses the information from a 3D stereo camera in combination with radar sensors fitted all around the vehicle to create intelligent automatic cruise control with lane guidance. Steer Assist automatically keeps the vehicle in the middle of its lane on straight roads and slight bends, if the lane markings on both sides are clearly visible. “If the driver removes their hands from the steering wheel, a warning is emitted and Steer Control is deactivated only if the situation requires it. Slow, hands-off stop-and-go driving in traffic is possible,” says Mise. “That can really reduce fatigue in gridlock circumstances.” Intelligent Drive also includes Brake Assist Plus with Cross-Traffic Assist, which can significantly reduce the risk of rear-end collisions and accidents at intersections. This is accomplished by continuous monitoring of the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle by means of radar sensors and the 3D camera. “When the danger of a collision is recognized, the system gives a visual warning in the instrument cluster as well as an audible warning,” points out Mise. “If the driver firmly applies the brakes, the system calculates the brake pressure required to prevent a collision.” Sensors in the rear bumper monitor traffic behind the vehicle to initiate the Pre-Safe Plus protection system for potential rear-end crashes. Occupant protection measures include features such as reversible belt tensioning. And to prevent mishaps with pedestrians and slow-moving objects such as bicycles, the system is capable of initiating autonomous

braking should the driver fail to react. But the new C-Class is not just about optimal safety, it’s also fun to drive. With comfortable and durable Artico leather upholstery, the C-Class features an Agility Select switch with up to five driving modes. The optional sport package features AMG sport body styling, 18-inch AMG wheels and front sport braking system. When combined with the 3.0L Biturbo V6 engine in the C 400 4 Matic, delivering 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque, the C-Class is as powerful as it is agile. The next generation ‘infotainment’ system keeps occupants connected while on the go. With the ease of Touchpad, integrated Media Interface and Mercedes Benze apps, plus available Burmester surround-sound system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio and Command Online with voice control, passengers are never far from what matters. “The touchpad has both single and multifinger gesture recognition, wiping movements, zoom and even user handwriting,” adds Mise. All C-Class sedans are equipped with Front Bass audio systems that utilize the vehicle frame as a resonating chamber to provide ultra-precise low notes with extremely little distortion regardless of volume level. The standard audio system has five speakers and 100 watts of power while the optional Burmester system features a whopping 13 speakers and 590 watts of power. And for added versatility, the rear seat in the C-Class has a 3-way split. The middle seat folds down to allow large objects to pass through while keeping rear outboard seats up. GLA SUV - For those who need more room and greater interior versatility, the new Mercedes-Benz GLA SUV has all the space and features anyone could ask for. “The GLA is the first compact premium sports utility vehicle from Mercedes-Benz,” says Mise. “Nimble on the road and capable off it, the all-new 2015 GLA is ready for every turn life takes. A true premium compact SUV with responsive handling and dramatic styling to match, the GLA also offers a thoughtful and innovative interior immersed in signature Mercedes-Benz quality.” Features on the GLA include MercedesBenz, 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission, 208 hp Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and Electromechanical power steering coupled with Collision Prevention Assist Plus and Attention Assist. Heated,powered front seats with 12-way memory and Articoleather upholstery make the interior comfortable in any conditions coupled with Advanced Bluetooth connectivity for music streaming and hands- free calling for safety and convenience while motoring. As with the C-Class, the GLA has available Command Online navigation with MB Apps and internet browser. At speeds below 36 km/h, Mercedes exclusivePARKTRONIC with Active Parking As-

sist automatically searches for suitable parking spaces (perpendicular and parallel) using ultrasonic sensors. Active Parking Assist takes over control of the steering wheel if the driver selects reverse gear and conﬁrms the intention to park in the suggested space via the multifunction steering wheel. “The driver merely has to operate the gear selector, accelerator and brake pedals while PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist smoothly steers the car into the parking space –as quickly and accurately as an experienced driver,” points out Mise. To improve handling, the ESP® Dynamic Cornering Assist system expands the functionalities of ESP® and enables particularly agile cornering. The system improves traction at the front axle and reduces steering requirement when cornering by slightly braking the inside drive wheel. And the GLA is built to take a load. With available EASY- PACK power tailgate and up to 1,235L of cargo capacity with both rear seats folded, the standard load compartment package includes cargo nets, collapsible box, and 12 V socket in the luggage compartment. OGILVIE HAS IT ALL The all new C-Class and GLA are only two of the many outstanding Mercedes-Benz models available at the newly-expanded and renovated Ogilvie Motors. Renovations recently completed help maintain the dealership’s high standing on the Customer Satisfaction Index which helped the dealership become Number One in Canada in 2013 out of 58 dealers. “We are proud of our experienced, knowledgeable and mature sales team with more than 125 years combined experience,” says Mise. The service department has expanded to 15 bays from six, almost eliminating wait time. And customers enjoy the comfort of an indoor, climate controlled drive-in drop off area where attentive service writers are ready to take care of the problem. “Ogilvie is number one for the right reasons,” says Mise. “We have the best cars backed by the best sales and service team in the business.” Ogilvie Mercedes-Benz is at 1110 St. Laurent Blvd. in Ottawa’s east end.

Wednesday euchres at St. Philip’s Special to the News

News - Four-hand euchre is being played at the St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond every second Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. The next one is on Wednesday, Oct. 15. Admission is $5 per person but this includes not only an evening of euchre but also a light lunch. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre. Four-hand euchre is played involving four people in two partnerships. It is a card game involving trump with the top cards in each suit be-

ing the right bower (the jack of the trump suit), the left bower (the jack of the suit matching the colour of the trump suit) and then the ace of the trump suit. Each player receives ﬁve cards to begin the game, with play resuming once the trump has been determined. Only a portion of a deck of cards is used in playing euchre. This usually involves the ace, the king, the queen, the jack, the ten and the nine, meaning that 24 cards are used when playing.

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Ten years. It’s not that long in the grand scheme of things but a lot can happen in just ten years. And that is the case surrounding the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. It has only been in existence for ten years since its founding in 2004 but what a busy ten years! Evidence of this decade of activity could be found at the Club’s tenth anniversary celebration at the NeXT Restaurant in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 10 in the form of scrapbooks filled with clippings and photographs of Club projects and activities. There was a story board featuring photos and a new article about the Club’s inaugural charter night in 2004. There was information about the Club’s first executive committee meeting in May, 2004 and pictures of the Club’s charter members. The Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville has

In partnership with

McMunn brothers launching new CD Jeff Maguire

Special to the News

News - Two musicians with Stittsville roots will launch a new compact disc (CD) during a country music show and dance this Sunday at the Carleton Place arena. Jamie and Jeff McMunn will officially release their new recording entitled simply “McMunn Is The Name.” The music show and dance will run from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the main upper hall of the community centre complex on Neelin Street. The veteran musicians are the sons of the late Ottawa Valley country music legend and longtime Stittsville resident Ron ‘The Silver Fox’ McMunn who passed away in July 2007 after a battle with cancer. The McMunn brothers have developed a loyal following and have played during many shows and special productions for more than 25 years. Included was the former Riverside Jam County Music Festival which ran for seven years in Carleton Place beginning in 2004. During this weekend’s CD launch the McMunn’s will be joined on stage by a large cast of country music artists from Lanark County, Ottawa and across the region. Among them will be Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame members Freddie Dixon, Neville Wells and

Dan Paul Rogers. The venture will also feature a member of the next generation of the McMunn family as Brendan McMunn, 17, will join his father Jamie and his uncle Jeff on stage during the afternoon and evening extravaganza. “He’s already stealing my songs,” Jamie laughed, referring to son Brendan. The pair spends many evenings practicing their music in the family home. It took 18 months of work to produce the CD which will have its first, full public airing Sunday. “We are very excited about the whole project,” Jamie says. The album, which includes 11 of the brother’s favourite songs, was recorded in the Carleton Place studio of fellow musician Kirk Armstrong. “It’s a labour of love,” Jamie states. “I’m happy with the way it has worked out. And so far we’re getting good feedback from those (in the music business) who have heard it. We’re even getting a little radio airtime.” Jamie calls the project “a rite of passage.” Producing the CD gave the brothers an opportunity to reflect on their late father’s strong contribution to the Ottawa Valley country music scene. Each has added a special song written by their dad to the recording. “I did ‘One More Country Song’ and Jeff

sings ‘This Bottle Filled With Wine. “Our father left us his music and this is our tribute to him,” Jamie stresses. The album includes three songs written by Jamie including the opening number ‘The Sugar Shack’ and Jeff’s song ‘He Dreams’. The title song ‘McMunn Is The Name’ was written by Wells, another Ottawa country music icon who will be part of the entertainment Sunday. Also taking part is the always popular Dixon whose song ‘Partying Down In The Keys’ is on the CD. Another musician friend, Dennis Whitty, penned ‘Boots’ the fourth song on the list. “We had a number of contributors but most of the songs are by Jeff and me or they are Dad’s.” The emcee for Sunday’s venture will be Almonte’s Charlie Kitts who entered the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame as a builder in 2010. Kitts is one of the most popular emcees in the district. Handling the sound for the show will be Steve McNally. Other musicians who are scheduled to entertain during the 1-8 p.m. extravaganza are Jim Simpson, Tom T. Hill, Barry Munro and Jude Moffatt, Kathleen Stroud and Darlene Thibault. There will also be many more special guests. The house band will feature Brad Scott on lead guitar, drummer Mike Belajac, fiddler John Richard, Matt Brydges on the steel guitar and bass player Mike Hamelin. The doors open at 1 o’clock and the music

and dancing will continue all afternoon and into the evening. “Waterfall Catering will be providing the food. A raffle will be held for a signed guitar and there will be other draws held during the supper break and intermissions,” says Carleton Place promoter Bob White who is assisting the McMunn brothers with the release party. “It’s going to be an excellent event – something country fans in this region will really enjoy,” White promises. Tickets for the day are $10 each and can be purchased at Graham’s Shoes, 139 Bridge Street, Carleton Place; Mark’s Cobbler Shop, 98 Gore Street East, Perth and at Nicholson’s Sundries on Main Street in Pakenham (the official address is 2529 Lanark County Road 29). Tickets can also be obtained at the door. Food and refreshments will be available in the upper hall of the arena throughout the day. The arena (Carleton Place and District Community Centre complex) is located at 75 Neelin Street, behind Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital. There is plenty of free parking and the second floor arena hall is handicapped accessible. “This is a very important day for us and we are looking forward to giving our fans something they have been asking us for – a brand new CD,” Jamie observes. “Please come out Sunday and don’t forget your dancing shoes,” he says.

Aspiring writers get advice from author John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - In baseball terms, it was first the rookies, followed by the clean-up hitter. And what a “game” it was as the rookies brought variety and creativity to the plate while the clean-up guy delivered some concrete, hard-hitting advice. It was not a baseball game but rather a meeting of the Stittsville Creative Writing Group at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursday evening, Sept. 25. It was a significant meeting not only because it marked the group’s second anniversary but also because the special guest was Ottawa author Terrence Rundle West. The meeting began with each of the aspiring writers being given the opportunity to read out what they had written in the preceding week based on the word provided at the meeting the week before.

In this case, it was the word “sky.” And so, with the guest author listening, you heard about the sky from the perspective of a four year old attending a convent school; about the possible sale of land on the Bay of Chaleur in the Gaspe; about happenings in the galaxy 2500 years in the future; the verses of a brief poem with a small girls’ blue eyes looking skyward; about a novel in process with the main character going through a box of her mother’s stuff; from the pages of a ten year old effort that was written as a journal from the point of view of a family member in the 1850’s; about a developing short story with a mention of the sky and clouds; the lines of a poetic ode; about possible topics such as Sky Masterson (there’s that word, sky), the gambler in the 1950 Broadway musical “Guys and Dolls” or about the history of Canada’s Lancaster bomber

before the writer/reader settled on her 1946 manuscript entitled “Sunset” with one of its phrases being “Beneath the flaming beauty of the sky”; and an historical fiction account based on real historical characters involving a battle at Kingston Mills in the War of 1812. And while not written, the group also got to hear the verbal story of a guest at the meeting who now earns his living as a technical writer even though at the age of 18, he did not even know the alphabet. Guest author Terrence Rundle West heard all of these writings and stories and in his opening comment to the group readily admitted that he certainly has no more talent than those at the meeting based on what he had heard as the stories were being read. He went on to describe what he calls the different stages of writing, right from the concept

taking shape to the selling of books in the end. He said that after the germ of an idea forms, then the various pieces related to writing begin to fall into place. “That’s when I get excited,” he said, explaining that the story develops in his head for a while, with characters taking shape. He writes historical fiction and he said that he always tries to make sure that his research is thorough and complete. He even interviews people associated with events in his book to ensure a realistic portrayal emerges in the writing. Mr. West said that he does not write using a computer because messages keep popping up on the screen, throwing him off. He said that some of his best writing is done writing longhand, although he admitted that sometimes the finished writing is hard to read. He has developed his own notebook which involves 23 points to check against all of his writing. These points have been developed from reading many “how to” books on writing. He goes through every chapter that he writes, checking them against these 23 points which deal with such things as scene structure. He advised that any aspiring writers might want to develop a similar check list of their own for their own writing. Mr. West admitted that it is not easy to get published, with many manuscripts getting returned from publishers. He himself is thinking of self-publishing his new book, his fourth, on which he is now working. He admitted that at 74 years of age, he realizes that he is not going to become a renowned author across the country. He said that in his writing, he has been able to break even while paying for his research trips including several to Spain. Author Terrence Rundle West has lived in Ottawa with his wife Peggy since 1968. He worked at various high schools around Ottawa and the area including Hillcrest High School, Brookfield High School, Glebe Collegiate, Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School, Ottawa Tech and Eganville. He has been involved in community work in the Hunt Club/Riverside area of Ottawa.

Laura Kennedy, left, is with Ottawa author Terrence Rundle West, right, at the Stittsville Creative Writing Group’s meeting at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Thursday evening, Sept. 25. In his writing, he tries to capture the essence of the life and times in which the story is set. His books include “Not In My Father’s Footsteps,” “Run of the Town,” and “Ripe For The Picking.” “Not In My Father’s Footsteps” is set in the 1930’s in Montreal where tensions are running high between the French and the English, the haves and the have-nots and others. People are struggling with the strife and despair of the depression. For protection, they form up in groups, sleep in hobo jungles and challenge strangers. “Run of the Town” covers a twenty year time frame in which 17 short stories take place. R.J. Martin is growing up in Hearst in Northern Ontario, although it could be any of hundreds of similar small communities across Canada. R.J. grows from youth to manhood observing the life of the community from the apartment over his dad’s hardware store on the main corner of the

town. The stories in the book chart his progress through three phases – pre-teen, adolescent and young man. “Ripe For The Picking” is a story about Boston financier Benoit Lefebvre who finds himself playing the role of point-man for a consortium planning a massive raid on Canadian industry. In the book, Quebec is about to win its third referendum and the Canadian economy is in free fall. The consortium feels that Canada is theirs for the picking if they act quickly. “Ripe For The Picking” is about missed chances and charting new courses, about relationships and squaring new realities with old loyalties and about hijacked agendas. The background for this story is a Canada tortured by the debate over language. The Stittsville Creative Writing Group meets on Thursdays from 6:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public library.

Stittsville author writes ‘All In The Same Boat’ john.curry@metroland.com

News - They are all breast cancer battlers. They are all also dragon boat paddlers. And now their individual stories are together in the pages of Shelagh Needham’s recently published book “All In The Same Boat.” Shelagh, a Stittsville resident, who is a breast cancer survivor herself and who has been a dragon boat team member for 14 years, decided to write this book featuring the life stories of members of Busting Out, Ottawa’s dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors. She wanted to tell these stories of her dragon boat teammates to make the point that it is not cancer that defines these women; rather, it’s the live that they have all lived, the people that they have met along the way of life and the dreams that they have that are not yet realized. Shelagh is hoping that this book will encourage newly diagnosed breast cancer survivors to realize that there is light at the end of the dark tunnel of breast cancer. This may be in the form of a dragon boat but it could take many other forms as well. She had been thinking about writing such a book for years, feeling that the Busting Out team members sit beside each other in the dragon boat but really are not aware of each other’s life stories. And it is these life stories that tells most about the person. “Cancer is not what defines us,” Shelagh says. For Shelagh herself, she faced a pessimistic breast cancer diagnosis but she survived and paddles twice a week at Mooney’s Bay with the Busting Out dragon boat team of breast

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Author Shelagh Neeham of Stittsville holds a copy of her new book “All In The Same Boat” which features life stories profiling members of Busting Out, Ottawa’s dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors. cancer survivors. She does this even though she admits that she has never done anything particularly sports-related. She notes, though, that for her the dragon boating is not about winning but is more about being together with others. The team stays active in the wintertime with fitness classes and even parties. The book “All In The Same Boat” tells the life stories of 46 of the Busting Out team members. While some team members did not want to be interviewed, many agreed and Shelagh herself interviewed each one, taping the conversation and then writing up the story. She then provided the article to the person for double checking before

the story went into the book. She discovered that while some have lived fairly regular, normal lives, some stories are particularly fascinating. She says that each story is totally different, with those interviewed ranging in age from 35 to 83. Carmel Wright of Kanata is the 83 year old member of busting Out. The oldest team member, she has lived all across Canada and also in Germany as her husband was in the military. Team member Jai Mathu of Manotick, who is a Fullbright scholar, was born and brought up in the Himalayas. Elisabeth Arbuckle of Nepean is a widely-exhibited artist as well as a keen sailor. Since her diagnosis, Janice Gray of Ottawa has almost

reached base camp on Mount Everest and got a Masters in public ethics. Margot Silver of Ottawa specializes in olive oils and balsamic vinegars which she personally searches out in Italy. Ofelia Webster of Ottawa is from the Phillipines where she overcame early struggles and eventually moved to Canada. Peggy Cumming of Ottawa has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, has taken part in Ottawa’s Winterlude triathlon 28 times, has trekked the Himalayas and last year swam five kilometers a day between islands in Croatia. Maureen Colenutt of Richmond is a retail district manager while Sheila Murphy of Richmond consults with church pastors and lay members with Christian Reformed churches from Ottawa to the Maritimes. Janet Corbett is another Richmond resident involved with the Busting Out team. Despite her cancer battles, she is considered one of the most positive members on the team. The book also contains a glossary of breast cancer terms to help the reader understand the terms associated with breast cancer. The book was printed about two months ago but it was only recently that Shelagh held a book launch which was held at the Nepean Sailing Club. A percentage of the sale of each book will go to the Busting Out dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors and also to Breast Cancer Action of Ottawa, the group’s umbrella organization. Copies of the book can be obtained from Shelagh Needham at sneedham@rogers.com. The cost is $25 which includes tax. Postage costs are extra – for example, $5 in the Ottawa area.

‘Wonderful evening of music’ at Gaia Java Coffee Company

John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - She has played to audiences across Canada including on Via Rail trains. And now she can add the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville to list of venues where she has performed. Kristine St-Pierre performed at the music evening at the Gaia Java shop last Friday and it’s easy to see – and hear – why she has been attracting such attention in the local music world. Since first performing in the Ottawa area in 2006, Kristine has released two bilingual CDs – the EP “Stand Still For A While” in 2010 and the full length album “Call Me Crazy” in 2012. For her performance at Gaia Java last Friday, which owner Paul Jay termed a “wonderful evening of music” when thanking Kristine at the end of the night, Kristine sang many of her own original songs although she did include several cover songs in her set list including “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right,” a hit most associated with American singer/songwriter Bob Dylan. And she finished up her performance with two cover songs, one being “Weak in the Knees” by Canada’s own Serena Ryder, the ballad which brought her national recognition back in 2007. The other was “Please Don’t Bury Me” by American country and folk singer John Prine, generally regarded as one of the most inJOHN CURRY/METROLAND fluential songwriters of his generation with his humorKristine St-Pierre performs at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee ous lyrics about love, life and current events.

own beautifully crafted folksy ballads and bluesy melodies, all delivered with a voice that is enchanting at best and at least memorable to be sure. Kristine is also a talented musician, mainly playing the guitar but also doing a couple of numbers accompanying herself on the keyboard. And, for a couple of songs, she even donned a mouth organ and was a triple musical threat with her guitar, her mouth organ and her voice. The mouth organ seemed to provide an ideal accompaniment for her song “The Test” about challenging moments in life which she sang in French. And the mouth organ similarly provided just that right musical atmosphere when she sang Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.” One of the advantages of being a songwriter is that when there is something unique, you can use it as inspiration for a song. And this is what Kristine did when she learned about a restaurant in Tuscon, Arizona which was serving wild lion tachos. And so she wrote “Wild Lion Tachos,” a lively upbeat song that was among those she played in her performance at the Gaia Java shop. You can learn more about singer/songwriter Kristine St-Pierre by checking out her website at http:// www.kristinestpierre.com . 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. There is no admission charge but early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

Certificates of appreciation for community building presented at Buddhist Temple Special to the News

News - Stittsville News editor John Curry has been honoured by the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. He has received a Certificate of Appreciation signed by Sam Rath, the Abbot of the Temple, for the coverage of activities at the Temple which he has provided through the Stittsville News. The framed certificate, presented at a special Congratulation Ceremony of Peace Award at the Hazeldean Road Temple last Sunday morning, was presented to Mr. Curry in thanks for helping to spread the news of the Cambodian Buddhist Temple in the Stittsville area. The Certificate of Appreciation states that it is presented to Mr. Curry in recognition for supporting global community work in awareness of peace, meditation, gratitude, loving kindness and compassion in the city of Ottawa from 2010 through 2014. John Brummell, another Metroland Media staffer, was thanked at the ceremony as well for his contribution in covering events at the temple. In accepting the Certificate of Appreciation, Mr. Curry thanked the Cambodian Buddhist Temple for bringing the religion and outlook of Buddha to the Stittsville area and also to opening itself to the community so that Stittsville residents and others in the city of Ottawa can learn about Buddhism and the teachings of Buddha. For Bhante Sam Rath of the Cambodian Buddhist Temple, this presentation to Mr. Curry was a reversal of roles last Sunday in that he presented the award. The day before, at Ottawa city hall, Bhante Sam Rath received a Peace Award for community building from Friends for Peace at a ceremony there. Peace Awards are presented annually by Friends for Peace to outstanding citizens. Previous recipients have included Max Keeping, Dave Smith, Bruce Cockburn and Jack Layton. The 2014 Peace Awards were presented at a ceremony

at Ottawa city hall last Saturday which was the 12th anniversary of the Friends For Peace Day. Ven. Maha Bhante Sam Rath Viriyadhammo holds an associate degree of law and a Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities from Mahachola University in Bangkok, Thailand. At the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road, he has been active in connecting with other communities in Canada. In the past five years, he has travelled to many Buddhist temples and community events in the area. He is considered a hard working monk who deeply cares about harmony and peace in the community. He wants to include all segments of Canadian society in the activities of the Temple and thereby foster peace among all groups. To open the Temple on Hazeldean Road to the wider community, he was instrumental in developing the Ottawa Meditation Garden on the grounds. Bhante Rath, along with

others including Visita Leelaratna of the Sirin Foundation and the Sirin Research Centre, has helped organize meditation sessions not only at the Temple but at Iskotew Lodge at Health Canada and at Ottawa Public Library branches. Bhante Rath also has served as an advisor for Vesak Day in Ottawa which is an initiative by Visita Leelaratna’s Sirin Research Centre meant to be a multicultural celebration involving all levels of government in Canada, embassies, and Buddhist and non-Buddhist groups. Bhante Rath is dedicated to building a peaceful global community and has travelled to many parts of the United States and elsewhere to try to help accomplish this. Others who received certificates of appreciation for community building which were presented at the Cambodian Buddhist Temple on Hazeldean Road last Sunday morning include Khek La, Visita Leelaratna and Norman Brazeau.

Ecology Ottawa survey on climate change John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Scott Moffatt is the only one of the four candidates seeking election as Ottawa city councillor in the Rideau-Goulbourn or Stittsville wards to respond to a candidates survey about municipal action on climate change conducted by Ecology Ottawa. Scott Moffatt, who is the incumbent councillor for the Rideau-Goulbourn ward, agreed with the question “Do you agree that human-induced climate change is an urgent issue and all levels of government have a role to play in helping to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions?’ However, while admitting that he cannot disagree with the question, he feels that the municipality’s role in fighting climate change is small compared to the issue’s

global scope. In response to a question about pushing for the full implementation of the city’s air quality and climate change management plan, Mr. Moffatt responded that the council-approved plan was a good step forward that balances the priorities of Ottawa residents. In response to a question about pushing to surpass the plan’s goal of reducing Ottawa’s greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent per capita by the year 2024, Mr. Moffatt said that he supports the goal as established which he says may be modest but is realistic. Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Daniel Scharf had not responded to the survey as of Friday, Sept. 26. Nor had either candidate in the Stittsville ward, David Lee and incumbent Shad Qadri responded to the survey as of Friday, Sept. 26.

Ecology Ottawa says that it will be updating the results of the survey on its website as responses come in from candidates. Ecology Ottawa claims that the survey shows an overwhelming concensus among city council candidates in favour of full implementation of the city’s air quality and climate change management plan, with many candidates favouring new initiatives to surpass the targets in the plan. The plan currently calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent per capital from 2012 levels by the year 2024. Ecology Ottawa says that the plan currently calls for cost-effective improvements across city operations; information and tools so people can make informed decisions; assistance for those who want to make

their homes, businesses and investment properties more energy efficient; direction and certainty to the design and construction industry regarding sustainable structures; and a stewardship program to manage and secure land to serve as natural water reservoirs, air filters and carbon sinks. Many of the candidates who responded to the survey expressed the opinion that the city’s greenhouse gas reduction goal of reducing overall emissions by 20 percent per capita over ten years is too modest. Ecology Ottawa wants all candidates to pledge to act on the city’s climate change management plan and to ensure that its goals are surpassed. Ecology Ottawa is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven organization that wants to see Ottawa become the green capital of Canada.

Soles4Souls Special to the News

News - Rev. Michel Dubord of Richmond is not only participating in the 10K event at the upcoming 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 but also he is using the occasion to collect used footwear for the Soles4Souls program. He figures that since he will be at the 9RunRun event, he might as well go there with as many used footwear items as possible since there is going to be a Dymon Storage truck on location there to collect used footwear for Soles4Souls. That’s why he has put out a call to the Richmond and area community for any used footwear items. He will then take them with him to Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 and deposit them at the collection truck there. Anyone who has used footwear that they wish to donate to Soles4Souls simply has to contact Rev. Dubord of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond at 613-8386075 to make arrangements. Rev. Dubord’s deadline for receiving footwear donations so that he can drop them off at the Soles4Souls collection truck at the 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 18 will be Friday, Oct. 17.

He left the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000

from his estate and established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO since his death and in that time his legacy gift has grown to $4.6 million.

As CHEO marks its 40th anniversary this year, we look back and honour not only those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality, but also donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime The impact of Mr. Cochrane’s generous gift is probably beyond what by considering a gift in Will to CHEO.

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Why work with a law firm? If asked to describe a law firm one might say it’s a group of lawyers and support staff working in an office. That is certainly true. But a law firm is bigger than the sum of its parts. Take Allan Snelling LLP. We are a community law firm. That means we provide a full range of legal services to meet the needs of the people and businesses of West Ottawa. We have eight lawyers with diverse practices who team up with a dedicated staff of paralegals and law clerks. Our clients unite the firm and provide our identity. Many come to us for assistance with the purchase of a home or to obtain a will (which every adult need’s, more so when you have kids…but that is for another day). Later they may retain us to assert their rights in a dispute. Perhaps they have been injured, are having difficulty with an insurer or with their employer. Still other clients seek our assistance to help their business thrive, through incorporation, financing or negotiation and drafting of agreements. All of these services are available at Allan Snelling LLP.

Elroy McCooeye, a charter member of the Stittsville District Lions Club in 1964, looks over the display about the 50th anniversary years of both the Stittsville District Lions Club and the Richmond District Lions Club which is now on exhibit at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners.

Museum exhibit about Lions John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Stittsville and Richmond Lions Clubs are both marking their 50th anniversary year this year. This milestone is being celebrated at the Goulbourn Museum with an exhibit featuring memorabilia and photographs associated with the history of these two local Lions Clubs.

The exhibit, which is now on display at the Museum, is located right inside the Museum’s main door. Entitled “Richmond and Stittsville Lions – 50 Years in Goulbourn,” the exhibit features Richmond and Stittsville Lions Club vests, a display of Lions Club pins from Lions Clubs as far ranging as Labrador, Temiskaming, Windsor and Victoria as well as international locations like Argentina and Japan, and Lions pennants such as Don Zogalo’s banner when

he was District Governor and Jack Burke’s banner when he held the same post in the 1996-97 year. The exhibit features various photographs such as one of Stittsville Lion Denzil Graham receiving an outstanding achievement award from the provincial government and the Stittsville Lions making a donation to the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

Massage Addict: From Dragons’ Den to Stittsville John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s a Dragons’ Den success story and it’s now in Stittsville. Massage Addict, a therapeutic massage clinic with a boutique spa-like atmosphere which started in Halifax in 2008, was pitched on Dragons’ Den, the CBC-TV entrepreneurial show where new or growing businesses go looking for support from a “dragon” capitalist. And it was businessman Jim Treliving who ended up making a successful partnership offer on the show. When Massage Addict appeared on Dragons’ Den, it had four locations. Thanks to its exposure on Dragons’ Den and the partnership with Jim Treliving, it has now grown to 35 locations with more under development. Massage Addict is now controlled by a group headed by Ryan Giles and Matthew Jorgensen of Toronto and is now Canada’s fastest growing massage clinic business and the original membership-based clinic. It can now be found in all provinces except Quebec, Manitoba and British Columbia, with just over 20 clinics in Ontario. This new Massage Addict clinic in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza in

Stittsville is the first one to be established in the Ottawa area. Massage Addict co-owner Ryan Giles said that lots of good locations were scouted for this first Ottawaarea clinic but in the end the company fell in love with the Stittsville community and Kanata area and the community feeling that is prevalent. Colin Smith, the franchise owner who manages this new Massage Addict clinic in Stittsville, was friends with Matthew Jorgensen of Massage Addict which is how he heard about the business and the business opportunity that it presented. He was looking for a career change and so he got involved. This Stittsville clinic is a little smaller than some others, with six massage rooms. It is designed with more of a boutique feel with the use of architectural upgrades such as crown moulding. There are speakers in every room so that music specific for a client can be directed to a particular room. Ryan Giles admits that Massage Addict has a “clever name that hooks people.” He predicts that if someone does make use of a Massage Addict clinic, the person will become addicted and will want to come again and again.

And just why would someone become “addicted” to Massage Addict. Well, it offers same day and next day appointments; its rates are competitive and affordable; it is open evenings and weekends (in Stittsville, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. on weekdays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays) which

is most convenient for clients; there is a simple online booking system; receipts are given for all insurance claims; direct billing is available; and, perhaps most importantly, a person can become a member and enjoy preferred privileges. And membership in itself has lots

of benefits. There is no membership fee as such as the client simply commits to a 12 month agreement. And the preferred rate of $69.95 for a one hour therapeutic massage for members can save over $300 a year for a client. Membership allows a person to share the membership with family members who will receive the same preferred rate. A member who books no appointments in a month does not have to worry because Massage Addict “banks” the missed lowcost massage for the client and this “banked” massage can be used at a later date. Cancelled appointments are not charged for if 24 hours notice is given. After the initial 12 month membership agreement, a membership continues until the person decides to opt out of the preferred rate of $69.95. Another benefit is that the client can choose the Registered Massage Therapist that he or she wants to see. Many clients prefer booking with the same familiar therapist. Massage Addict in Stittsville is located at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road. It can be contacted by phoning 613-4358986 or via email at stittsville@massageaddict.ca .

The two-day colloquium involved bus tours of various stone pinwheel-design homes such as Earnscliffe and Pinhey’s Point as well as lectures dealing with 19th century changes in residential architecture, Ottawa’s Confederation-era Tudor Gothic mansions and Gothic architecture. The “pinwheel” design for homes, which originated in England, was brought to Ottawa in the 1850’s by architects competing for the contract

to build the Parliament Buildings. While here, they designed houses for the leaders of the local society. The most significant feature of the “pinwheel” design is the existence of rooms revolving around a central staircase hall…Fourteen couples were presented with certificates for completing a marriage preparation course at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road which ran last Friday evening and then all day last Saturday.

She was one of several who received the award at a presentation ceremony which took place at the recent 19th annual general meeting of LiveWorkPlay, an organization whose mission is to help the community in general welcome those with intellectual disabilities in the community to live, work and play as valued citizens. Each of the recipients at this ceremony had a LiveWorkPlay connection but also are volunteers with various causes and organizations in the community in general. Created in 1995, the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award recognizes individuals who have made a significant, sustained and unpaid contribution to their community, helping to build a smarter and more caring nation. At the ceremony, each recipient such as Jennifer was introduced by Patricia Jaton, Deputy Sec-

retary, Policy, Program and Protocol Branch and was called to the front to receive the award from Her Excellency Sharon Johnston, wife of Governor General David Johnston. Jennifer, a longtime LiveWorkPlay member who was at the ceremony fresh from volunteering at a golf tournament in partnership with the Rotary Club of West Ottawa, has been credited with uttering perhaps the best line of the night at the ceremony. After Madame Johnston had listed many of Jennifer’s volunteer experiences, Jennifer quickly noted “And that’s only about half of them,” a reply that generated much delight both from Her Excellency and from the audience at large….Stittsville United Church held a dedication of its recent sanctuary renovations at its workshop service last Sunday morning…John Desmarais, a member of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, is nearing completion of a book about the Holiness Movement and the Stittsville Campgrounds.

Meet Ward 21 candidate Dan Scharf Manotick News Staff Special to the News

News - Businessman and anti-wind turbine activist Dan Scharf wants to bring his business skills to the council table as the next councillor for Rideau-Goulbourn, Ward 21. The North Gower-based father and grandfather has been a businessman most of his life. He began with a degree in computer science and statistics from the University of Waterloo, and worked his way through several software companies before taking on a consulting role for public sector organizations, helping with risk management. Scharf became active in the movement against large wind-turbine developments when a project threatened to come to his village. Q: Why are you running? A: My interest peaked as I got involved in some community activism work related to wind turbine projects, and as I got more engaged in the political process I became much more interested. And in the past six months, as project difficulties went public at the city, I began to feel that people with different kinds of experiences other than being professional politicians might be quite valuable at the city council table. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a business focus, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a focus that really needs to be applied to the council table every now and then. The difficulty the council has in assessing priorities, and looking at contracts and identifying risks and weaknesses.

Dan Scharf

Q: Detail your past political experience or activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: Mostly around wind activism, and supporting a couple campaigns for local politicians. I helped (Nepean-Carleton MPP) Lisa MacLeod a bit volunteering for sign delivery; basically helping people that were helping us in terms of standing ground against wind projects in our area. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve led workshops in other jurisdictions about the cost-benefit equations of 600foot wind turbines. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big issue with lots of complications, lots of misrepresentations sometimes on both sides. Most recently Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been helping with a start-up in the health sector. Q: How will you fundraise? A: Just through local people donating to the campaign, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting a pretty good reception. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going door-to-door and raising money as we go. We allocate it as it comes in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not driven by financing the campaign, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driven by getting out there and meeting people. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) ie. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. A: No. Q: Any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: No, the one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m involved in now is not a conflict. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on a board for a tech start-up in Toronto. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no overlap. Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: I think there was a lot of discussion in this ward concerning removing funding for the Earl Armstrong extension; that was a big issue on the eastern side of the ward. The most common thing (residents talk about) is about garbage and green bin pickup, coupled with the audit of Orgaworld and the understanding that that was a poorly designed contract. (Next term) weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see the beginnings of significant finance problems at the city. Some of the projects that are being planned now, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in a position to finance them ... I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be very rigorous in prioritizing and spending decisions. We have to be systematic about it, we have to be very business-like in the decisions we make about finances. Scott Moffatt is also running in RideauGoulbourn Ward 21.

Meet Rideau-Goulbourn candidate Scott Moffatt Manotick News Staff Special to the News

News - Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to finish what he started in his hometown ward. The 33-year-old North Gower resident grew up on the border of Manotick and Kars, on First Line Road where his parents still live. He worked in retail and customer service at a local golf course before setting his sights on the council table in 2006. He wasn’t successful that time, but in 2010 he took the seat from incumbent Glenn Brooks. Since then he’s taken on a number of pressing issues for the ward, including the sale and development of Manotick’s historic Dickinson Square, the connection of Long Island and Van Vliet Roads and getting a number of roads across his ward resurfaced and rebuilt. Q: Why are you running? A: From a young age I was always interested in politics ... it’s the sense of serving the community. I have a customer service background, so everything was about helping people and serving people. It’s about improving the lives of people. Q: Detail your past political experience or

Scott Moffatt

activism (volunteering, campaigning, donations, employment) at any level of government or political party. Also, do you have any experience as a lobbyist or for a lobbying non-profit organization? A: When I was 19 I volunteered for Bill Knott for the 2000 federal election (in the Nepean-Carleton riding), and for the following three years I sat as a youth director for the Nepean-Carleton Progressive Conservative party association. I was a delegate at the Conservative Party merger (in 2003). No lobbying, though. I’m not an activist; that’s just not who I am. I was never going at people lobbying for change. Q: How will you fundraise? A: By donation. I’ve got a healthy list of folks who donated last time. I sent out a letter to reach out to those people, and some new people have come forward. Q: Do you have any potential pecuniary interests (declared conflict of interest) i.e. ties (financial, family, otherwise) with builders, developers, construction companies, etc. Any boards or associations you will have to step down from? A: My parents own land adjacent to the Manotick village boundary. I would have to recuse myself because my parents can gain financially from an expansion. Q: What do you think was the biggest issue in the ward last term and how was it handled? A: In a ward like Rideau-Goulbourn, it’s always going to be the roads. It’s a rare occasion when a road doesn’t come up (in a public meeting). It brings everything together and in the rural area it’s your transit network. We’ve had 20 road sections resurfaced since 2012 in Rideau-Goulbourn. It’s never ending. Q: What will be the biggest issue/s next term? A: We need to keep the focus on funding our infrastructure renewal. Rideau Valley Drive North and South, Long Island Road and Century Road West are some of the worst roads. Dickinson Square is a work in progress. I think we’ve done the easy part: we’ve been lucky to have good community partners to work with. The next part is the hardest part: how do we deal with Dickinson House and Carriage Shed? I need to think long-term, and whatever decision we make is a huge decision. Dan Scharf is also running for councillor in Rideau-Goulbourn ward.

sage board feature had been a topic of conversation in Legion circles for several years, leading to the erection of this new sign.

side Village Square Park. Stittsville Glass and Signs does signs of all shapes and sizes and is particularly proud of this new sign in front of the Stittsville Legion Hall.

Huskies shut out in home opener Special to the News

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Luke Mulvihill, right, of the Sacred Heart High School Huskies follows through on his punt which has been blocked by the onrushing Glebe Collegiate players in the high school football game between Sacred Heart and Glebe at Sacred Heart in Stittsville on Thursday, Sept. 25.

Sports - In their opening game of the high school football season on Thursday, Sept. 25, the Sacred Heart Huskies followed in the example of the Canadian Football League’s Ottawa RedBlacks. The Huskies offense, much like that of the RedBlacks, did not produce any points as the Huskies went down to a 9-0 defeat to the visiting Glebe Collegiate square at the Sacred Heart football field. Glebe led 2-0 after

the first half and that’s how the score stay until the fourth quarter when the Huskies were forced to punt from beneath their own goalposts. Punter Luke Mulvihill had his punt blocked, with Glebe taking over the ball on the one yard line. Glebe then punched the ball into the end zone for a touchdown. After the convert was good, it was 9-0 for Glebe. This was the way that the game ended, with the Huskies going down to defeat by a shutout in their season opener.

Dedication for Munster United Church addition John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - “A labour of love.” That’s what Liz Hale, Chair of Council at Munster United Church, called the church’s new rear addition which was formally dedicated in a ceremony following the church’s 191st anniversary Sunday service last Sunday. It was a project that saw the ground breaking ceremony take place in June 2010 and in the intervening years, the project has taken shape thanks much volunteer work and effort. “Many hands and many hours went into making this happen,” Ms. Hale said in her remarks at the dediJOHN CURRY/METROLAND cation ceremony, noting the planning, Taking part in the dedication service for the new rear building addition at Munster United Church last research, fundraising and physical Sunday, Sept. 28 are, from left, Rev.

work involved. Volunteers worked on Saturdays in ripping down the church’s former old rear structure, pouring concrete, hammering, erecting the new structure, doing the drywall and painting and laying the flooring. Indeed, a log book cataloguing the volunteer hours shows 713 ½ working hours on the project, involving 2,489 man hours of volunteer labour. In addition, there were others who donated and prepared food to ensure that the hard working volunteers were fed. There were also those who donated to the building fund to allow the addition to happen, even with all of the volunteer labour. Ms. Hale singled out one person, Wayne Tubman, noting that without Mr. Tubman’s guidance, construction knowledge and time, the project would not have been possible. See DEDICATION, page 61

“It would never have happened without him,” she said adding that Mr. Tubman spent hours and hours working on the project or, as she put it, “doing the Wayne thing.” Mr. Tubman in turn praised the efforts of all those who helped with the project and made it all possible. He noted the contribution of Tom Cavanagh of Cavanagh Construction as well as the contribution of Rorry Harding in planning the project. Ms. Hale also noted the involvement of Tim Thompson who made it possible for the church to receive a Trillium grant of $6,200 which paid for a portion of the church’s new wheelchair accessible washroom at the rear of the church sanctuary. The addition was dedicated to the service of God and consecrated in a brief outdoor service beside the addition, with Ms. Hale, Rev. Arlyce Schiebout of Munster United Church and David Lee, chair of the Ottawa Presbytery of the United Church of Canada leading the dedication service.

News – The West Ottawa Soccer Club’s oldtimers tournament at Lions Park last Saturday was used as an occasion for fundraising to help a six year old Richmond girl who is battling a very rare form of cancer and her family. It was in midAugust that Vanessa Melone was diagnosed with Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), a form of leukemia that is extremely rare with only 35 reported cases in the world. Vanessa is the daughter of Nathalie and Amedeo Melone of Richmond, with a younger sister Liviana and an older sister Vittorio. All are involved with the West Ottawa Soccer Club. Since her diagnosis, Vanessa had undergone a battery of tests and treatments at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario including chemotherapy treatment. Any financial contributions that can help out Vanessa and her family are most appreciated. The costs associated with having a loved one go through a castastrophic illness like this one are high, including such expenses as parking, gas, food and babysitting. Contributions will have the family cope with these costs while going through this health crisis with Vanessa. If you want to contribute to help out the Melone family, please go to the Richmond

Debate centres around public high school in Stittsville jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News – The need for a public high school in Stittsville dominated a sparsely attended trustee candidates debate in Kinburn last week. Only three parents, the principal and a spouse of a candidate attended the meeting held at Stonecrest Elementary School near Kinburn on Monday, Sept. 22. Incumbent Lynn Scott, Sue Grant, Todd Johnson and Andrea Ingham are vying for the public school trustee position for zone one which covers West Carleton, Rideau-Goulbourn, Stittsville, Richmond and Manotick. “We still do not have a public high school,” said Stittsville resident Jennifer Smith. “Thirty years now I’ve been waiting for a school.” Smith wanted to know what approaches the candidates would use to influence the school board for a new school in Stittsville if elected as the trustee. It’s not as simple as just asking the provincial government for the $36 million needed for a new school, said Lynn Scott. The number of students attending public board schools in Stittsville continues to decline, with some parents putting their children into the Catholic schools so that they can attend Sacred

Heart, the high school within Stittsville. “They (the province) aren’t look at the numbers that switch,” said Scott. “The province looks at bums in seats.” The need for a public high school in Stittsville has been on the Board’s list of capital needs since 2006, she said. Some of the ensuing years saw very little provincial capital money granted. In addition, the Board of Trustees sets the criteria for capital projects. “We have very little control,” said Scott. “What we need now are new schools for growth areas … From my point of view, we need that high school in Stittsville. We needed it yesterday.” Sue Grant said that she would make sure the other 11 trustees were on board with the need for a new school in Stittsville. “You have to make sure everybody is on the same page as you,” she said. “I’m not very good at taking “no” for an answer.” She said she was willing to “go over heads” and had already spoken with Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren about the matter. Andrea Ingham observed that Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne went to her high school. She asked the question of why the money would have to come from the province and not from other areas of government. “There’s always a way to re-route

money within government,” she said. Todd Johnson said that he would “build a business case, appeal to people’s logic …You catch more flies with honey,” he said. Sue Grant, who lives in Carp, said that she was first approached to run for trustee a few years ago. She has two children who have or who are going through the public school system. “I’m invested in this community and the public school system for a few years to come,” she said. “I believe that the kids always have to come first.” She said that it’s time for a new trustee in zone one. “I think we deserve better,” she said. “It’s time for new ideas.” Andrea Ingham said that she felt that signing up for the trustee race was the best education that she could get about how the system works. “I actually probably don’t know enough,” she said. “I don’t expect to win, I’m just very interested in the process.” She said that the rules governing coop students need to change so that the students aren’t forced to do “work no one else want to” for zero pay. The Dunrobin resident said that she feels that there are issues throughout the school board and that school doesn’t prepare people for adult life. Todd Johnson said that he has a “bas-

ket of skills” that he would bring to the table as trustee. The father of two ran in 2010 against Scott, taking 29 percent of the vote. The Manotick resident said more cooperation and less competition are needed among trustees and that there should be more focus on digital education. “One size does not fit all,” said Mr. Johnson who works for Resource Canada on educational and social policy. “The greatest inequality is to treat everyone as equal.” A trustee for 20 years, incumbent trustee Lynn Scott said that she has the experience needed to get results. “Education does matter to all of us, even those who aren’t here tonight,” she said, adding she is “bound and determined to have the best schools in zone one.” She said that she is seeking re-election because she has unfinished business that she would like to see completed, such as a new high school in Stittsville and an addition to West Carleton Secondary School at Dunrobin. “It’s easy for local needs to get lost in the system,” said Ms. Scott. I do know who to call and when and where to push.” Besides capital projects, she said that she will also focus on anti-bullying strategies and available activities in schools.

Rally in support of military service dogs Special to the News

News - It’s a car and motorcycle rally that will let you see some spectacular autumn scenery while also helping to raise public awareness and funds to help veterans impacted by their military service by providing PTSD service dogs for them. It’s all happening this Saturday, Oct. 4, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. from the Royal Canadian Legion’s Dominion Command building at 86 Aird Place in Kanata. There is no pre-registration required – just show up that day at 9 a.m., pay the reasonable registration fee ($30 per person, either rider or driver, with a $40 maximum per vehicle, no matter how many are riding in the car) and you can take part. The rally goes ahead rain or shine. For more information about the rally, please look on Facebook at Rally fur Paws. Organizers, which include Bob Steadman and Christine Philipson of Stittsville, are hoping for similar numbers to those who participated in another “Rally Fur Paws” motorcycle and car rally which happened on Saturday, July 5, with the Stittsville Legion Hall as the start and finish line. That July 5th event raised over

$10,300 for “Paws Fur Thought,” an organization dedicated to raising public awareness and funds related to the provision of service dogs for veterans adversely impacted by their military service. The service dogs are specially trained to assist in the safety and rehabilitation of a military veteran suffering from PTSD. Richard Leger of Stittsville, whose son Sgt. Marc Leger was killed in Afghanistan, will be among those at the starting line at the Legion’s Dominion Command headquarters. This Oct. 4th car and motorcycle rally is especially catering to families, with a scavenger hunt geared to youngsters. In addition, there will be fun games for all participants to play at each of the stops along the route of the rally. The rally will also be a poker run, just like the one in July was. And just what is the rally’s 234 kilometer route? From the Dominion Command headquarters, the route will follow highway 416 to Iroquois where the first stop will be at the Iroquois Legion. This will be a most interesting stop because of displays at the Iroquois Legion such as the bell from the Canadian ship Iroquois.

From Iroquois, the route will follow old highway two along the St. Lawrence River, with spectacular views of the water and of the changing autumn foliage. This route will go through Cardinal, where there will be a free lunch provided by the Cardinal Legion, and then on to Brockville. After stopping in Brockville to enjoy more games and some relaxation, it will be off to the Westport Legion which overlooks the Rideau Lakes. It will be another spectacular view if the fall colours are in full bloom at that time. From Westport, it’s on to the Perth Legion which is the end of the rally. It is hoped that the Afghanistan Poppy Memorial, which was at the finish line at the Stittsville Legion for the July 5th rally, will be at the Perth Legion for the finish of this Oct. 4th rally. There will be a silent auction, BBQ and dance at the Perth Legion. All of the proceeds from this car and motorcycle rally will go to “Paws Fur Thought” and the work that it does regarding the provision of service dogs for military veterans. This may be the start of even more events raising awareness and funds

for “Paws Fur Thought” being held throughout Ontario. Sgt. Marc Leger who was one of the Canadians to die in Afghanistan has his name engraved on the Afghanistan Poppy Memorial. This Memorial was constructed from pieces of a Badger army tank that ran over an improvised explosive device in July 2008 in Afghanistan and subsequently burned for 12 hours. Poppies taken from the last Remembrance ceremony in Kandahar in 2011 have been placed on the memorial. Each poppy represents a Canadian serviceman or woman who died in Afghanistan. It was at the last Canadian Remembrance Day ceremony held at the Kandahar Air Field in Afghanistan on Nov. 11, 2011 that these poppies were placed on plaques by Lieutenant-General Jonathan Vance, with the then-Minister of National Defence the Hon. Peter MacKay reading off the names of the fallen who were being honoured with a plaque and poppy. The next day, this Kandahar Air Field monument began to be dismantled for its return to Canada. At that time, Lt. Gen. Vance removed all of

the poppies from the monument and gave them into the care of Warrant Officer Renay Groves. It was Warrant Officer Renay Groves from 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment at Canadian Forces Base Kingston who was the one who put together a team to create this Afghanistan Poppy Memorial. The Memorial is topped by a maple leaf carved out of the back deck of the destroyed tank, with the face of the maple leaf still showing the damage from the explosion. The maple leaf sits on a wheel support and an engine hatch which has one handle still wrecked from the blast. A brass 105mm shell casing bears the names of the 161 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan. The poppies from Kandahar, now bronzed, circle the memorial. The whole memorial rests on a tank wheel. The Memorial is circular to represent how Canadian soldiers surround their nation to protect it. The poppies have been placed at random on the Memorial to represent the randomness of the deaths and the entire monument rotates so that no part of it is more prominent than any other.

Find out where municipal election candidates stand on critical issues See their responses in writing to the following propositions, at www.greenspace-alliance.ca/elections2014 1. A strong site alteration by-law, with emphasis on "strong" Tree massacres, stream destruction and other assaults on our city’s natural features happen with impunity, because Council has yet to approve a promised by-law that would enforce environmentally responsible development. 2. A firm annual allocation for environmental lands acquisition Opportunities to acquire pockets of remaining natural areas continue to arise, but new funds are not allocated or are shifted to other uses. 3. Standing firm on the prohibition against future country lot subdivisions This form of "rural sprawl" has been stopped, but “compromises” could weaken the resolve to maintain the current prohibition.

The 2012 overhaul of the City’s advisory committees resulted in a dramatic reduction in citizen involvement in municipal initiatives -- a tremendous lost opportunity. The current public input process needs to be reviewed to enhance the public’s role in advising City staff and Council.

IN MEMORIAM

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS • 90 & 86 A special occasion and milestone was celebrated this past September 13th by Willis and Dodie Gourlay at their home close by the historic Madawaska River. Willis’ 90th birthday (September 10) and Dodie’s 86th birthday (September 9) were marked with a special afternoon party held for family members, former and new neighbours, and friends. The party was planned and organized by Susan (daughter) and husband Michael Berberick of Hamilton, Ontario. It was a very amiable happy gathering as all present enjoyed fine food, much picture taking and of course sharing the birthday cake. Granddaughter Stephanie and her young Jones family of Jack (3+) and Willow (3 months) the great grandchildren were the first to sample the cake! Willis and Dodie wish to thank all those at the party and also those in distant locations who sent “best wishes”, cards and gifts. It is truly wonderful to have such a great family, caring, neighbours and many friends across our great land.

In loving memory of our dear Jamie who left us so suddenly and tragically while at work, October 6, 2009.

He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near.

Monique Stone and Father Murray for their visits and for the wonderful service. Ralph Langtry for playing the organ and for everyone who helped organize and provide food for the reception afterwards.

Pet loss workshop Learn To Curl Program and blessing of pets will run for 12 weeks Special to the News

News - Saturday, Oct. 4 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. And so it is only fitting that pets should have a special focus on that day, at least at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond. To mark this special feast day this Saturday, Oct. 4, St. John’s is hosting a grief workshop on the topic of pet loss. It will happen between 10 a.m. and 12 noon, facilitated by Ian Henderson who is well known for helping people deal with grief. This grief workshop will take place in the church hall at St. John’s Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond with a suggested donation of $10 for those who attend. To register for this grief workshop on pet loss, please phone Rev. Michel Dubord at 613-838-6075 or email him at info@saintjohnsrichmond.ca. But this is not all that will be happening at St. John’s Anglican Church on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi on Saturday, Oct. 4. There will also be a blessing of pets

held between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Anyone can bring a pet to this blessing of pets which will take place at the St. John’s Children’s Garden on Fowler Street. Besides being the patron saint of animals, St. Francis of Assisi was declared as the patron saint of ecology by Pope John Paul II in November 1979. There are many stories about St. Francis of Assisi and his great love for animals and the environment. One legendary story has that he preached to the birds who had surrounded him, with not one flying away. Indeed, St. Francis of Assisi is often portrayed in art as having a bird in his hand. There is also another well known story about St. Francis of Assisi intervening when a town was being terrified by a wolf. St. Francis of Assisi apparently confronted the wolf and ended up arranging things so that the townspeople would feed the wolf who in turn would not prey upon the townspeople or their animals. It is interesting to note that the current pope, when he was chosen in 2013, selected the name Francis as his papal name in honour of St. Francis of Assisi.

Special to the News

Sports - Traditionally those new to the game of curling sign up, are assigned to a team and are out on the ice playing. Instruction may come from a helpful skip or fellow curler but there has been no consistent pattern with this. Such an approach does not lend itself to full retention of new curlers nor does it help make a new curler feel comfortable and in control. But the Richmond Curling Club is taking steps to rectify this and to make taking up the sport of curling easy and enjoyable for new curlers, while also providing them with complete instruction that will give them all of the tools necessary for fun and success on the curling ice. Beginning with this upcoming 2014-2015 curling season, the Richmond Curling Club is offering a Learn To Curl Program running on Sunday afternoons over a 12 week period.

This Learn To Curl Program is aimed at people who have not curled before but who are interested in trying the sport. It is also a program that should appeal to novice curlers who would like to increase their curling skill and knowledge. This Learn To Curl Program has been developed by the Canadian Curling Association (CCA) and is supported by the Ottawa Valley Curling Association (OVCA). Unlike a traditional one day curling clinic, this program is designed to help entry level and novice curlers get progressively better through continued weekly instruction and skill development. This Learn To Curl Program will cover all aspects of the game of curling, from technique and strategy to the physics of the sport. The course will also include the etiquette and social side of curling. The Richmond Curling Club will provide those taking this Learn

To Curl Program with foot gripers and sliders as well as brooms for the duration of the course. In general, each weekly session in the 12 week program will consist of one hour of instruction and one hour of curling. There will be an experienced curler assigned to each sheet of ice in use. This Learn To Curl Program at the Richmond Curling Club will run each Sunday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for 12 weekly sessions between Sunday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015. The cost of the program is $150 per person. Following the course, if participants wish to join a curling league and space is available, there will be a fee of only $125 for the second half of the curling season. For information about this Learn To Curl Program being introduced at the Richmond Curling Club, please contact the Richmond Curling Club at richmondcurlingclub@bellnet.ca .

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The old maple tree in the front yard had turned crimson, and all around the farm that year I could tell that soon we would be settling in for the cold days of fall, and then winter would be upon us. The season’s change had come as a great relief to me, although I still waited for signs from Father that all was well. You see, it was the height of the Depression, and every day I knew was a challenge for him, a challenge to survive yet another year, and then a comfort to know that the summer had yielded good crops and the winter ahead would be one of contentment. That didn’t mean of course, that there wouldn’t be work to be done. The long winter months would be filled with chores, but there wouldn’t be days of worry about a drought that could wipe out the fields of grain, or endless rain equally as damaging. Winter would be a time of catching up on fixing broken-down stalls in the cow byre, hauling in wood from the bush, and fixing harnesses, and mending aging machinery. But by the time the end of summer was upon us, I could see a change in Father. Although he talked little about it, I knew just by looking at

Season change brings relief for Father

him that his mind, for months, had been on survival. The summer months could make or break us, and I was old enough to sense uneasiness in Father at the end of each day. His days during those summer months began before daybreak, as he strived to make use of every waking hour while the weather held. At night, as the darkness descended on us, I would watch Father go to the back door and look out at the sky, looking for any sign that the weather would change and we would be faced with torrential rain. Or he would look for clouds if we were going through a dry spell that threatened to rob us of the grain that would see us through another winter. It seemed to me, back then, that once the trees had turned, Father looked different, and he acted differently than he did on the days that had gone before us. He still went to the barns every night to check on the animals, but he no longer looked anxiously out at the night sky, trying to read what the next day would bring. I thought, back then, by the time the fall weather was ready to settle in, that his face didn’t show the weariness I saw nightly during the summer. He ate his supper more slowly, and

With enough feed to care for our livestock until the next crop was ready, the cellar full of vegetables and preserves, the meat house full, and barrels of salt pork and sauerkraut at the ready -- we had survived another year. And when I sat at the old pine table, as darkness came to the kitchen, I would look over at Father in the rocking chair, and I would say my silent thanks, and I would know why his face no longer had that weary look, nor would his eyes be heavy from the lack of sleep. The time to worry was over. All that could be done to survive had been done. There was nothing left to do, but cherish the warmth of home, and give grateful thanks. That one year in those lean 1930’s, I knew in my very young heart, just looking at the change in Father, we had been blessed beyond measure.

72 Stittsville News - Thursday, October 2, 2014

I was quick to notice every page of the Ottawa Farm Journal was read, and he stayed longer in the old rocking chair by the Findlay Oval, as the darkness of the fall night closed in around us. And once he had taken one last trip out to the barns, instead of heading right for his bed, he lingered in the kitchen, lighting his pipe, and taking one last cup of green tea. And I would know. I would know without asking why this change in Father from one season to the next was taking place. The hay mow would be full, and there was no worry that we would not have enough hay to feed our animals over the long winter. Grain would be plentiful. The cows would be healthy and ready to give us milk for our own use, and to take to the creamery. That year, it had been a good season, one

Carrot bundt cake with maple glaze Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Lifestyle - Chock-full of nutritious carrots, this cake is as much at home on an impressive dessert spread as it is on the morning coffee table. It is a good traveller, so keep it in mind when you’re the designated dessert provider for your next potluck. Preparation time: 40 minutes. Baking time: 70 minutes. Serves 16. Ingredients * 4 large carrots * 250 ml (1 cup) golden raisins * 50 ml (1/4 cup) rum or water * 625 ml (2-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour * 15 ml (1 tbsp) baking powder * 10 ml (2 tsp) cinnamon * 5 ml (1 tsp) baking soda * 5 ml (1 tsp) each ground ginger, nutmeg and salt * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) allspice * 250 ml (1 cup) vegetable oil * 4 eggs * 10 ml (2 tsp) vanilla * 300 ml (1-1/4 cups) lightly packed light brown sugar * 125 ml (1/2 cup) finely chopped glacé cherries (optional) * 250 ml (1 cup) toasted chopped almonds with skins on maple glaze (below) Preparation Generously spray or oil a three-litre (10-inch)

Bundt pan. Grate the carrots, measuring out one litre (4 cups). Combine the raisins and rum in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for one minute, stir and microwave again for 30 seconds. Stir and set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the flour with the baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, ginger, nutmeg, salt and allspice. In a separate large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat together the oil, eggs and vanilla. Gradually beat in the sugar, then beat for two minutes. Gradually beat in the flour mixture. (It will be very thick.) Stir in the carrots, then the raisins with any liquid, the cherries (if using) and nuts. Scrape the mixture into a prepared pan. Smooth the top. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for one hour and 10 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool the pan on a rack for 15 minutes. Run the knife around the edge then turn out the cake onto a rack to cool completely before icing. The cake will keep well at room temperature for several days or freeze up to two months. Maple glaze: Place 125 ml (1/2 cup) of maple syrup in a medium bowl. Sift 625 ml (2-1/2 cups) of icing sugar. With an electric mixer, gradually beat the icing sugar into the maple syrup to make a thick, but pourable glaze. If it’s too thick, beat in 15 ml (1 tbsp) of milk. If it’s too thin, beat in more icing sugar. Drizzle the glaze over the top of cool cake and garnish with chopped nuts; if desired.
