The people of Barrhaven
Five questions with a Barrhaven person you should know (coaches, crossing guards, organizers, volunteers, owners), answered in writing, in their own words, in about five minutes. The newest one runs on the front page; they all live here. Every interview is conducted through the Bugle’s written interview form and lightly edited for length and clarity.
Nepean Hotspurs SC hosted its first FC Bayern soccer camp in 2025 and returned this summer as an official FC Bayern youth soccer partner. General Manager Shannon Holder told the Bugle what it takes for a volunteer-driven community club to put a world-class training environment in front of local kids.
Keith Goebel lives in Old Barrhaven East and runs the Barrhaven Classic Car Show at Clarke Fields, now heading into its eighth year, with proceeds going to CHEO. The show is a team effort, Keith is quick to say: Darrell Bartraw was the first to help get it on the road and still helps with the show today, and Keith's wife, Rosemary, and a lot of good friends pitch in as well. He wants them all to know how much he appreciates their help over the years.
This is the first in a recurring Bugle feature: five questions with a Barrhaven person you should know, answered in writing, in about five minutes, in their own words. It seemed only fair to make the publisher go first. No phone call, no meeting: Jay Tarzwell dictated his answers straight into the Bugle's interview form on his phone, in one sitting.
