You will be able to that warm Christmas feeling twice on Friday, Dec. 10 in Stittsville. Once will be by just attending the inaugural Stittsville Christmas Festival Concert that evening and hearing and seeing the Christmas routines of the performers. You’ll leave filled with Christmas spirit and a Christmas tune or so in your head. But you will also be filled with the warmth of knowing that you have helped some of the less fortunate in society simply by your attendance and support at the concert. And isn’t that really what Christmas is all about – giving and helping others. It’s going to be quite an evening, staged at the Sacred Heart High School auditorium, with none other than longtime TV personality Max Keeping as the MC. He is going to be joined by a number of local choral groups, bands and dance groups, all of whom will be performing at the concert which will get underway at 7:30 p.m. As for admission, it is by dona-
tion, although there are suggested prices, namely $10 for adults and $5 for children, students and seniors. Among the performers will be dancers from the Chad Wolfe Studio of Dance and Music and the Pointe of Grace Dance Company; singers from the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, the new Goulbourn Men’s Chorus and the Sacred Heart High School senior choir; and musicians from the Main & Abbott Dance Band, the Sacred Heart High School senior concert band, the South Carleton High School senior concert band and the Stittsville concert band. There will also be a tribute to the Canadian Armed Forces, with a colour party from the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion in attendance. Bagpiper Jordan McConnell of Stittsville will be involved in the tribute as well. All of the proceeds from the concert will be going to the Catholic Education Foundation of Ottawa which is a registered charity whose sole mandate is to assist children living in poverty.

HISTORY, FROM 1
The plaques are a project of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, with the intention to increase provide in the community through its heritage and to convey local history to viewers of the plaques. The Historical Society hopes to erect six more plaques on Richmond buildings next year. The Historical Society began this program by placing heritage information plaques on a number of buildings in downtown Stittsville such as the Stittsville Legion Hall and the former Bank/ Bradley’s Store building, both on Stittsville Main Street. The current St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church red brick building on McBean Street was built in 1884, replacing an older frame church. The Presbyterian congregation itself dates back to 1823, making it the oldest such congregation established in the former Carleton County. The Orange Hall/Bank of Ottawa building at the corner of McBean Street and Strachan Street was built in 1863 by stone mason James Scott. Over the years, it has served as a general store, as the home of Richmond’s bank and as a meeting hall for the Orange Lodge. Presently the ground floor is used for a retail business use while the
top floor remains as the meeting area for the orange Lodge. The Dr. Chanonhouse home on McBean Street at Hamilton Street was built about 1896 following the Queen Anne style of architecture including a two storey bay window with cresting, a second floor projecting frontispiece with bracketed cornice, and much finely detailed woodwork on the porch in its brackets and trim and on the gable facias and bargeboards. It was built by Richmond businessman Henry McElroy and became the home of Dr. Robert Chanonhouse in 1903 where he resided until his death in 1928. Dr. Chanonhouse was a Master of the Goodwood Masonic Lodge and a reeve of Richmond. He also served as the official coroner for Carleton County. The Old Town Hall/Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds was relocated to its present site after the Second World War. It had originally been located across the street where it was a two storey building built in the 1850’s. The ground floor of the structure was removed when the building was moved to the fairgrounds. It was once the Town Hall and also at one time housed Richmond’s jail. The James Stewart/Dr. Ken Hartin home was built early in the 20th century by James Stewart
who was a prominent Richmond resident. The home features twin front entrances as the home served as a funeral home as Mr. Stewart was an undertaker. One entrance was for the living premises and the other for funeral home purposes. The Remembrance display currently on exhibit at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library thanks to the Goulbourn Museum features the wartime correspondence of Private Sefton Stewart, a son of James Stewart, who grew up in this house. Dr. Ken Hartin, a veterinarian, assumed ownership of the home in the 1950’s. Over the years, Dr. Hartin has served on Richmond village council and has been a charter and longtime member of the Richmond District Lions Club. He has also been one of the village’s best curlers. St. Philip’s Roman Catholic Church on Burke Street at Fortune Street is a stone building erected in 1858, replacing an earlier wooden building which served the congregation from its beginnings in 1819 to its destruction by fire in 1847. The church features a mixture of Gothic Revival architecture with the Classical style. The pointed arches of the windows denote the gothic while the simple rectangular massing and central entrance of the gabled façade denote the Classical.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The final tally is in - $16,911.10. This is the amount raised by the first annual Emergency Services’ Run or 9 RUN RUN event which was held in Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 23. A donation for $16,911.10 was formally presented to Project s.t.e.p. at Ottawa city hall on Tuesday, Nov. 9. Project s.t.e.p. is a drug awareness, education and treatment
program that has been launched in the city of Ottawa. Those at the cheque presentation ceremony included city of Ottawa police chief Vern White, who has been a strong advocate for the s.t.e.p. project, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and 9 RUN RUN race director Brenda Tirrell. A total of 885 participants took part in this inaugural Emergency Services Run in Stittsville – 565 in the half marathon and 320 in the 3K Family Fun Run/Walk.
There were over 140 volunteers who helped make the event such a success. Organizers had initially hoped to raise $10,000 with this inaugural event but the final total far exceeded this, meaning more funds for Project s.t.e.p. It was councillor Qadri who was the originator of this event. After he spoke with police chief White about running, Project s.t.e.p. and the chief’s goal to run a dozen half marathons this year, the councillor suggested having such an event in Stittsville. But councillor Qadri is quick to attribute the success of the event to the work of race director Brenda Tirrell and her team of volunteers. “Boy, did she do a bang up job with her team and volunteers in the community,” councillor Qadri said while reporting on the success of the 9 RUN RUN event at the Stittsville Village Association’s executive meeting on Thursday, Nov. 11. He cited the over 850 participants in the event and made particular note of the chili cookoff event which was held featuring the
efforts of the chiefs of the three emergency services involved – police, fire and paramedics. “Most importantly, Stittsville gets another notch on the city map,” councillor Qadri said in noting that the event’s success bodes well for the community’s reputation in the city. He said that if a 10K run is included on the program next year, there is a possibility that the number of participants will double since a 10K run is a popular companion event to a half marathon run. He also noted that the Trans Canada Trail, which formed part of the half marathon route, gained a lot of comments from the participants. And while the event was set up as a fundraiser for Project s.t.e.p., the event also showed that those involved with the city’s three emergency services not only protect a community like Stittsville but also are part of it. “What a great way for our community to display the three emergency services,” councillor Qadri said.

JOCK RIVER
Rifle from Fenian era donated to Goulbourn Museum JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Much has been fished out of the Jock River over the years. It was back in 1969 that the
river gave up one of its more unusual treasures, a .577 Snider-Enfield breech loaded musket-rifle. This firearm, which was issued by the British military from 1866 to 1871 and was
used by the militia in Canada at least into the 1880’s, was recovered from the Jock River by then-Richmond residents George and Eleanor Armstrong. Now residents of New Brunswick, they have recently donated the rifle to the Goulbourn Museum. It is currently in poor condition, with a rusted breechblock. It is also in two pieces, as the stock has broken off from the rest of the rifle due to deterioration over the years. It was in one piece when it came out of the Jock River. But the Goulbourn Museum will be taking steps to have the rifle professionally restored and while it will never look brand new, the restoration will stop any further deterioration and will improve its appearance. The stock will be able to be re-connected to the rifle. When restored, the rifle will be put on display at the Goulbourn Museum since it relates to the history of the area as local militia units mustered to combat the threat of Fenian raids in the 1860’s undoubtedly would
have been issued with such rifles. The .577 Snider-Enfield rifle itself is significant in the history of the development of British firearms as it represents a change from the previous muzzle loading rifles to a breech loading rifle. The converted firearm was much faster firing, with a trained soldier able to fire ten rounds per minute with this breech-loader compared to only three rounds per minute with a muzzle-loading weapon. About 870,000 of these .577 Snider-Enfield service rifles were produced in Britain between 1866 and the 1880’s and they were used in British colonial wars, the Fenian raids, the Red River Rebellion, the North West Rebellion and even the Boer War. The rifle was the main firearm used by the Canadian army during the 1885 North West Rebellion. It was originally shipped to North America in late 1867 when 30,000 of them arrived in respond to an 1866 petition by the Province of Canada for the quicker and more accurate breech-loading rifle due to a fear of Fenian invasions from the United States.

veterans and soldiers and reverence for the memory of the departed. The respect was shown as spontaneous applause broke out among the crowd of over 600 onlookers, first when the veterans and soldiers arrived at the parade area in front of the cenotaph at the Stittsville District Community Centre after marching to the site
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Sunny weather with blue skies overhead prevailed for the annual Remembrance Day service at the cenotaph in Stittsville on Thursday, Nov. 11. But what also prevailed was an obvious respect for participating
from the Stittsville Legion Hall, and later, when these veterans and soldiers began their return march to the Legion Hall following the service. The reverence was obvious by the silence that prevailed as bugler Mark Turnbull and bagpiper Jordan McConnell performed The Last Post, followed by Reveille. The silence that permeated the space was somber and complete, revealing just how much this ceremony meant to all those in attendance. This year’s laying of the wreaths in memory of the war dead, both collective and individual, was more prolonged than in previous years, with many individuals as well as organizations, businesses and schools formally placing wreaths at the foot of the cenotaph, accompanied by a Legion member. The parade, which had arrived at the cenotaph site at 1:52 p.m., had left the Stittsville

Remembrance service participation included Rev. Grant Dillenbeck of Stittsville United Church who led the Lord’s Prayer; Rev. John Robertson of The People’s Gathering Place, who did the scripture readings, and Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Norm Sterling who read The Red Poppy. Providing music at the service were the Sacred Heart High School senior band and choir and the Stittsville concert band.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Hazeldean Road reconstruction should be largely done by the second week of December. Four lanes, two in each direction, from Carp Road east to the Kevin Haime driving range, should be completed and newly paved by that time. The only part of the project which will remain unfinished will be the bridge over the Carp River. A decision on whether to open up all of the lanes to traffic or not at that time will be made soon. The problem is that the two eastbound lanes will narrow down to one lane for the bypass around the bridge construction. This may cause a traffic bottleneck and present some safety hazards. Construction on the new bridge over the Carp River will continue through the winter if weather permits. It is projected that the paving of the traffic lanes on the bridge will happen next April or May. This Hazeldean Road reconstruction project from Terry Fox Drive west to Carp Road
is costing $65 million, funded thanks to infrastructure and economic stimulus programs from the federal and provincial governments, with the city of Ottawa also picking up its share. It would, under normal circumstances, take a number of years to complete a project of this magnitude but it is being done in less than a year and a half due to deadlines associated with the funding. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri told the Stittsville Village Association executive at its meeting on Thursday, Nov. 11 that the newly reconstructed Hazeldean Road will not be a typical four lane road. “It’s kind of to have a boulevard feel to it,” he said, pointing out that there will be public artwork on both sides of the road from Terry Fox Drive through to Stittsville Main Street. He said that some of the commercial buildings, such as the new Bushtukah outdoor gear store that will be at the front of the Grant Crossing shopping area, will be close to the road and thus will contribute to a feeling of community rather than of a big box retail area.

Remembrance is the goal, whether holiday or not Much is being made these days and a debate is raging about whether Remembrance Day should be a holiday for everyone so that there is an opportunity to attend Remembrance Day ceremonies in the community and to provide the proper respect for those who gave their lives in war and those who are serving in today’s armed forces. In our view, the current situation is working well. No one can deny that respect and appreciation for the military has grown tremendously in recent years. Attendance at community and other Remembrance Day ceremonies is higher than ever before. But, more than this, more and more youth are aware of the sacrifices made in wartime by previous generations and indeed today’s generation. So, something is obviously working. One of the reasons is the Remembrance assemblies which are held in the schools. Granted, if Remembrance Day itself were declared a holiday, these assemblies could be held a
FLOATS
day earlier. But if this were to happen, would these students still make an effort to attend community ceremonies on the day itself. We doubt it. But there is more to it than this. School assemblies now are not simple wreath laying ceremonies. They are learning experiences, with videos and other tools used to get the message across. Last week’s Remembrance assembly at Goulbourn Middle School, for instance, was awesome. Indeed, veterans and adults would have benefitted from being there. It told about Canada’s wars, its peacekeeping efforts and its Afghanistan involvement. It was remembering but it was also learning. And that’s what youth are used to doing at school. This is where the torch will be handed on to future generations. The Remembrance assemblies at Sacred Heart High School combined music, drama, dance, literature and the media arts to also result in an experience that not only allows students to remember and honour the past but also helps them un-
derstand what has happened and what it means to sacrifice everything for your country in the name of freedom. Again, just like with the Goulbourn Middle School assembly, anyone and everyone would have benefitted from attending this ceremony at Sacred Heart. So, it seems to us, rather than debate whether Remembrance Day should or should not be a holiday, more effort should be made by everyone to ensure that they attend a Remembrance ceremony someplace – in the local school, in a church, in the workplace or at a local cenotaph. The key is to remember and honour veterans and the war dead; the secret is to make the time to do this, somewhere, someplace. It makes no difference if the day itself is an official holiday or not. The real goal should be for people to make the time to ensure that it is a special day in our hearts and minds. That’s what counts; that’s where the real Remembrance will happen.
AND FOOD
Christmas Parade of Lights JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Floats and food. These are two key words related to the upcoming annual Christmas Parade of Lights in Stittsville. With regard to floats, the Stittsville Village Association, organizer of the event, is looking for more to enter. Businesses, churches and organizations are urged to decorate a float with lights, add in some music perhaps and become a part of the parade. The float can be a wagon, a truck, a trailer or anything else that moves. Anyone who is interested in entering a float should contact either Marion Gullock at 613-836-5254 or via email at marion. gullock@sympatico.ca or Katrina Harder via email at katrinaharder@hotmail.com. And don’t forget about food. Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be travelling along Stittsville Main Street just before the parade, picking up donations for the Stittsville Food Bank. These can be non-perishable food items or cash donations. The Food Bank helps the less fortunate in the community, especially at Christmas time. So any and all donations will be most appreciated. The Stittsville Village Association is also looking for more volunteers to help staff the barricades which block off the side streets for the parade. Anyone want-
ing to help out in this way while also getting a great view of the parade as it passes by should contact SVA director Katrina Harder at katrinaharder@hotmail.com. Volunteers will be provided with safety vests to ensure their visibility and safety on the night of the parade. This year the parade is going to have a band leading off the event. The parade will be leaving the School Board Depot at the north end of Stittsville Main Street, across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27 and will proceed southward along Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Church is). Because of the parade, Stittsville Main Street will be closed to traffic from Neil Avenue through to Carleton Cathcart Street from 7 p.m. to about 8:30 p.m. And there is more going on than just the parade on this Nov. 27 evening. Immediately following the parade, there will be the official turning on of the Christmas lights at Village Square at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. This marks the official launch of the Christmas season in the community. Hot chocolate will be served at Village Square and reindeer insurance (in case of damage from Santa’s reindeer on the roof on Christmas Eve) will be available for sale.

spersed with quotations from figures such as former United States presidential candidate George McGovern and Albert Eistein. Dance was again front and centre on stage in a somber routine which started with a solo dancer and ended with a stage filled with dancers. There was a dramatic presentation later, with students on stage reciting about wartime experiences. As one said: “I thought it would be fun. All I wanted was a gun.” Sacred Heart vice-principal Finley Mullally, who is in the armed forces reserves and was in Afghanistan in 2009, addressed the students, wearing his uniform. He told how he was in Kandahar for Remembrance Day 2009 and he showed a video made by a fellow officer that provided a snapshot of Afghanistan. He said that while Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world, its people are generally warm and friendly. Outside intervention is needed to bring peace and security to the country, he said, noting that the price being paid has been great. But he asked that if countries like Canada do not help there, who else will? The Remembrance Day assembly ended with a video presentation showing the photo, name, age and hometown of all of the Canadian soldiers who had died in Afghanistan from Remembrance Day 2009 to Remembrance Day 2010.
Stittsville News - NOVEMBER 18, 2010
JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Remembrance Day 2010 at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville was a multi-media experience as music, dance, drama, literature and video were all used during the hour long presentation in the school auditorium. The presentation was offered twice on Remembrance Day, Thursday, Nov. 11 as well as once the previous afternoon in order to accommodate all of the students in the school. The first message to be delivered was via the spoken word, with grade seven student Charlie Jory reciting her literary creation “A Lifetime of Moments.” Music was then front and centre as a female student quartet, backed up by two guitars, performed “In Flanders Fields, with associated scenes of soldiers and poppies being shown on a giant screen beside them. Media arts students assembled the visuals for a showing of a music video “A Pittance of Time” by Terry Kelly. Dancers then took to the stage, with nine dancers with white masks performing and ending by taking off the masks and placing them beside white crosses across the front of the stage. Another video presentation on the big screen, shown as the school band, located in the auditorium’s orchestra pit, played, showed scenes of war and soldiers, inter-

SOUGHT FOR PROGRAM
Have exchange, will travel - youth wanted by Rotary SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Youth in Stittsville now have an opportunity to experience the culture of another country thanks to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville and its involvement in the Rotary Youth Exchange program. Specifically, the Stittsville Club wants to become involved in the Rotary short-term youth exchange program which sees a youth from the community go to another country, preferably in Europe or South America, where the youth stays with a local family. Because the youth stays with the family for anywhere from several days to several weeks, it is an unparalleled opportunity to become immersed in the culture of the country being visited. The host family has been vetted by the Rotary organization so parents can be assured that the situation is safe for the visiting youth.
The Rotary Youth Exchange program also entails the family of the youth hosting a youth from the family in the foreign country, creating the exchange aspect of the situation. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is now looking for youth of high school age who might be interested in taking part in a Rotary short-term youth exchange this coming summer. Friday, Dec. 3 is the deadline for an initial application to take part in the program. An application form can be found on line at the Rotary Youth Exchange site or can be obtained by contacting Leo Maiorino, president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, or Yas Michalski, a Rotary Club member or by visiting the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville website. The only cost involved for a participant is round trip airfare to the foreign country involved in the exchange program. There are
no living expenses there as the youth stays with a local family. There is no schooling component to this exchange program. They are done during the summer months when school is out in Canada and when school is out in Europe. This is the first time that the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has opted to become involved in the Rotary Youth Exchange program. This is because of the Club’s commitment to increase its involvement with youth in the community. Last year the Club sponsored a student to attend a leadership camp. Becoming involved in a short-term exchange program is another step in this Club focus on youth. The Rotary Youth Exchange program is open to students ages 15 to 19 who are in high school. To qualify, applicants should be outstanding students who have demonstrated leadership in the community. Candidates
should also demonstrate a willingness to try new things that will enable them to become excellent cultural ambassadors in another country and culture. Rotary clubs exist in more than 200 countries in the world and youth exchanges can happen in nearly all of these countries. Being a host family for a youth from another country is also a thrilling experience. Being on the exchange is helping make a young person’s dream come true, making it an unforgettable and fulfilling experience for all concerned – both the youth on the exchange and the host family. A host family provides room and board for the youth on the exchange and involves the youth in family activities and chores. The family also supervises the visiting student just as the parents would look after their own children. This goes for host families whether in the foreign country or here in Canada. 401559

da, was at the Nov. 9 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville as a guest speaker to tell about the need for long term care insurance. She advised that a person should try to get the best such insurance plan and ideally the most flexible one. Such flexibility means that the plan provides income, just like a pay cheque does for a worker, which the person can use as he or she chooses. Some plans simply reimburse expenses and do not provide money that can be spent as the person wishes. Ms. Sullivan, though, emphasized that at some point in life, most people will require help from another just for the regular daily tasks like bathing, dressing, eating and walking. This is always a difficult circumstance to swallow for those who are used to living independently at home. This can happen not only for the elderly but even for others who become critically ill. “Health can change just like that,� Ms. Sullivan warned. She said that a person should want an insurance plan that puts money in the hand as quickly as possible when something happens and a program that gives access to care that the person wants, such as a choice of whom to hire for home care.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF There’s life insurance. There’s car insurance. There’s house insurance. There’s travel insurance. You name it and there’s insurance. And now there’s long term care insurance. And with society’s aging demographic and the prospect of a person needing care provided by others in the last years of life, long term care insurance is becoming more appealing to many. Facts don’t lie. A 65 year old man can expect to live an additional 65 years, of which over three years will be spent with a loss of independence, when others, be it home caregivers or those in a long term care facility, provide some of the daily care that can no longer be self-provided or provided by family members or friends. A 65 year old woman can expect to live an additional 20 years, six and a half of which will be with a loss of independence and the need to pay up to $3,000 per month for long term care expenses. It is these costs associated with long term care that bring about the need for an insurance plan to deal with them.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Richmond’s Remembrance Day ceremony at Memorial Park had an international aspect to it this year. It was in the presence and participation of
COUNTERPOINT ACADEMY™
12 Province curlers at the ceremony thanks to tour leader Dave Biggart and past tour leader Hamish Sutherland. These Scottish curlers also added a unique visual aspect to this year’s ceremony as they were part of the parade group arriving at Memorial Park just before 11 a.m., taking part dressed in their Scottish kilts. These visiting curlers were but one of many who laid wreaths during the ceremony. The three levels of government – federal, provincial and municipal – were all represented in the persons of MP Gordon O’Connor, MPP Norm Sterling and newly elected city councillor Scott Moffatt. Julie Brown of Richmond laid a wreath for Silver Cross Mothers while Kay Lawless laid a wreath in recognition of ladies who have served. Among the other wreaths laid were one for the Thirty Third Service Battalion by Lt. Col. Bruce Playfair and Honourary Lt. Col. Shirley Westeinde; for those serving in Afghanistan by Lt. Stolberg; for the merchant marine by Gerry Gauthier; for fallen comrades by Shelly Spearman; for all veterans by Maurice lavoie; for Canadian Forces by Oscar Clench; for the Richmond volunteer firefighters by Sector Chief Terry Gervais; for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police by Sgt.

Wreaths were also laid for a number of individuals by family members, including Steve and Betty Fish, George and Edith McCallum, Joseph Goodenough, Alton Monahan, Benny and June Ryan, Ray Guay and Bert Murphy. Richmond’s churches and schools all laid wreaths, as did various service clubs and other organizations such as Richmond Scouts and Guides, the Catholic Women’s League, the Richmond District Lions Club, the Goodwood Masonic Lodge, the Goulbourn Kiwanis Club, the Richmond Village Association and the Richmond Agricultural Society. It was a sunny day for this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony which featured an opening prayer by Richmond Legion chaplain Rev. Gilles Joly and once again this year the participation of the South Carleton High School band under the direction of teacher Sarah Woods. SCHS student Thomas Lenz played The Last Post and Reveille while bagpiper Eric Booth played the Lament. SCHS student co-president Nathalie Kellar recited the Red Poppy of Flanders while co-president Alexa Polenz recited “In Flanders Fields.” Jim Becking of the Richmond legion offered the Pledge of Remembrance while Rev. Carla Van Delen of St. Paul’s United Church said the closing prayer. An open house was held at the Richmond Legion Hall following the ceremony.

Safe, high quality care through skills simulation Nicolas Ruszkowski
area, an intensive care area and two large spaces where University of Ottawa medical students receive hands-on, realistic training with no risk to themselves or to patients.
Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital
Drawing from flight simulation techniques, students use virtual reality technology; fullbody mannequins with voices, lung capacity, beating hearts and pulses; and life-size replicas of individual body parts to practice leading edge medical procedures.
My great-grandfather, Dr. Jan Ruszkowski was an eye surgeon and professor of medicine.
As a result, the quality and safety of patient care they will one day provide is increased.
In his day, the only way to realistically simulate surgery was with dead bodies. This provided him with the basis for a strong education, and a way to test a future physician’s nerves.
Practice, however, does not always make perfect. The real challenge in hospital care is not to conduct one procedure with perfection, but to replicate the perfect procedure, every time.
His favourite trick with new students was to simulate inserting his finger into a body’s eye socket, then wait for somebody in his class to get faint and, occasionally, pass out. Thankfully, medical education has evolved since then. Last month, Dr. Jack Kitts, CEO of The Ottawa Hospital, Allan Rock, President of the University of Ottawa and Dr. Verin Naik, Medical Director of the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre (uOSSC, www. uossc.ca) opened a simulation centre at the Civic Campus of The Ottawa Hospital. The 20,000 square foot facility includes two operating rooms, an emergency room/trauma
That is why, in addition to using current simulation tools, the centre will test new approaches and adopt them immediately when there is evidence of their effectiveness. That is a recipe for continuous progress in medical education, quality, and patient safety. While this progress takes the edge off of my great-grandfather’s teaching techniques, it puts a great deal more comfort into our patients’ experience. The next time you see a young resident in their scrubs, you can trust you are in good hands.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Santa Claus Parade in Richmond on Saturday, Dec. 4 is a great spectacle which helps get people in the mood for Christmas. But it is also an opportunity where people can help some of the less fortunate in the community. As in previous years, members of the Richmond District Lions Club will be collecting items for the Richmond Food Bank along the parade route. These donated items will help the Food Bank meet the need over the holiday period. Besides collecting items for the Richmond Food Bank, the parade will also be a vehicle for the collection of new unwrapped toys for Toy Mountain. Toys will be collected along the parade route that will go to the Salvation Army for distribution to less fortunate children in the Ottawa area.
So, when you attend to watch the Santa Claus Parade, come armed with a donation for the Richmond Food Bank and also a toy for Toy Mountain. It will be Christmas spirit in action. The Santa Claus Parade will leave from South Carleton High School at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4, heading north along McBean Street to Perth Street where it will turn west and finish up at the Richmond Plaza. There will be chili available at the plaza and children will have an opportunity to visit with Santa Claus. This Santa Claus Parade is, of course, only half of a Christmas doubleheader in the village on Saturday, Dec. 4. At 6 p.m. that day, the annual Lighting of the Park ceremony will take place at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street. The Christmas lights will be turned on at the park for the first time for the Christmas season.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The weekend wasn’t nice to the Stittsville Royals. The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League team not only lost both of its games but only scored two goals. Last Sunday at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, the Royals dropped an 8-1 verdict to the visiting Gatineau Mustangs. The Mustangs jumped into
in a game in Perth on Friday night, Nov. 12. The Blue Wings took a 20 lead in the first period and added another goal in the second period to go into the third period with a 3-0 lead. The Royals Mitch Kerwin scored early in the third period to narrow the margin to 3-1 but Perth responded with two goals in the next four minutes to salt away the victory, 5-1.

AT GOULBOURN MIDDLE SCHOOL
Trip through Canada’s wars at Remembrance Day assembly Canada’s war efforts from World War One through World War Two to the Korean War and now in Afghanistan were all highlighted in the Remembrance Day assembly at Goulbourn Middle School this year. And Canada’s peacekeeping efforts were not forgotten as well, rounding out the picture of the country’s military initiatives. Guest speaker Major D.R. MacGregor, who joined the military in 1979 and who served in Afghanistan in 2007, reminded the nearly 500 assembled students that over two million Canadians have served overseas in Canada’s armed forces, noting that many had died so that Canadians can live in freedom. He told about the Ottawa Tulip Festival evolving from the donation of 100,000 tulip bulbs from the Netherlands in 1945 in gratitude for Canada’s help during the war, dropping food aid and helping to free the country from its Nazi occupiers.
Major MacGregor reminded the students that today, Canadian soldiers are helping the people of Afghanistan rebuild their country. He noted as well that there are Canadian soldiers helping out in Haiti as well, adding that he was aware that Goulbourn Middle School raised funds for Haitian earthquake relief. He said that Remembrance Day is a time to remember those Canadian soldiers who have lost their lives in these faraway places today as well as those who have died in previous wars. This Remembrance Day assembly at Goulbourn Middle School involved a visual and verbal trip down through the years of Canada’s wartime experiences, with students Jarrett Dow and Natasia Hagar serving as the “travel” guides. They noted that 650,000 Canadians had served in World War One, which was eight percent of the country’s population at the time. It was all about preserving the country’s freedom, Natasia Hagar said. There were three video
presentations of Historica Minutes dealing with World War One: one about Vimy Ridge, the victory that helped form Canada’s identity; one about John McCrae, the Canadian officer who wrote the poem “In Flanders Fields”; and one about “Valour Road”, the former Pine Street in Manitoba which was renamed after three soldiers who lived on the street received Victoria Crosses. They are among the 94 Canadians who have received this highest honour for bravery and extreme devotion to duty on the battlefield. The names of all 94 recipients were displayed around the walls of the Goulbourn Middle School gymnasium where the assembly was held. These World War One videos were joined by a recitation of the poem “In Flanders Fields” by Goulbourn Middle School students Jake Hamm and Mackenzie Corson. Moving on to World War Two, student MC’s Jarrett Dow and Natasia Hagar told how 11 million Cana-
dians or ten percent of the country’s population served in this war. This was another war about preserving basic freedoms but featured more air warfare because of advanc-
ing technology. An Historica Minute video dealing with bravery aboard a burning aircraft was shown to emphasize this. The rear wall of the gymnasium featured black sil-

houettes of World War Two aircraft as well as of modern fighter jets. The program then moved on to the Korean War where 27,000 Canadian soldiers served from 1950 to 1953. This recounting of the three major wars involving Canada was followed by a wreath laying ceremony in which two students from each class in the school carried a class-created wreath onto the stage, laying it there. “We are all remembering, as John McCrae would say, holding the torch high and keeping the faith,” said MC Jarrett Dow. He went on to tell about the significance of the playing of The Last Post which initially signaled the end of a soldier’s day and now is used as a final farewell for dead soldiers. The Last Post was played by bugler Eric Bachmayer, followed by the Lament played by bagpiper Jordan McConnell. Bugler Bachmayer followed this with Reveille. TRIP, SEE 17 426759

eo entitled “Three Words,” showing a range of appropriate three word phrases such as “We Will Remember,” “Honour the Fallen,” “Thank You Soldiers,” “Lest We Forget,” “Hope, Care, Peace,” and “Peace Not War.” Goulbourn Middle School teacher Karen Wiggins then summed up the assembly, reminding students that it will be up to them to ensure that people never forget the sacrifices
17 made by Canada’s soldiers. “This is a day we can never forget, no matter how old or young we are,” she said about Remembrance Day and urging the students to make sure that they continue it in the future. The students left the school’s gymnasium silently and in single file to the sound of bagpipes played by Jordan McConnell.

After the remarks of the guest speaker, the program moved on to deal with Afghanistan which MC Natasia Hagar reminded everyone had now lasted for nine years, longer than either of the World Wars. A music video “Standing Strong and True for Tomorrow” was shown, followed by a choral reading of
the poem “The Box” by a group of students and teachers. After a musical selection “Peace Like a River” played by the Goulbourn Middle School band under the direction of teacher Linda Crawford, the assembly moved on to Canada’s peacekeeping efforts, featuring a Historica Minute dealing with peacekeeping efforts in the Congo and followed by a vid-

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Sacred Heart Huskies are finished for the season. The high school tier two senior football team lost 26-6 to the St. Joseph High School Jaguars in semi-final playoff action on Tuesday, Nov. 9, ending the Huskies hope of a trip to the championship final this season. The Jaguars went on to win the championship final against the Franco Cite Falcons last Saturday. The Huskies managed to make it close in the first half against the Jaguars in the semi-final playoff game but in the second half, the Jaguars took over, scoring three touchdowns while holding the Huskies scoreless to win the game 26-6. “It was close at the half but they eventually took over,” said Huskies head coach Curtis MacNeil, admitting that the Jaguars were a better team than his Huskies. The Jaguars really made only one big mistake in the game and that resulted in a Huskies touch-
down, the first of the game, giving the Huskies the early lead in the game. Toward the end of the first quarter, Huskies’ linebacker Shane Brownlee intercepted a Jaguar pass and ran it back all the way to the end zone and a Huskies touchdown. The convert was blocked but the Huskies were on the scoreboard, leading 6-0. Just before the end of the first half, the Jaguars ended a sustained drive with a touchdown pass. With the convert, it was 7-6 for the Jaguars which was the half time score. The Huskies did have a chance at a field goal before the end of the first half but Cody Scott’s kick was wide. In the third quarter, the Huskies’ offense struggled to move the ball and the Jaguars kept getting the ball in good field position. The Jaguars punter scored a touchdown on a fake punt so the score was 146 for the Jaguars at the end of three quarters of play. In the fourth quarter, the Jaguars scored two touchdowns, both un-

converted, to end up winning by a 26-6 count. “I thought in the first half that we played the best we could,” coach MacNeil said of his Huskies squad. He said that the offense was moving the ball through passing and defensively the Jaguars were being stopped. He feels that the Huskies held the Jaguars for as long as they could but that eventually the Jaguars took over and won the game. He admitted that the Huskies could not put as much pressure on the Jaguars offense as they wanted on the sunny, warm day because the Jaguars were using a six receiver setup. Since the Huskies play a man to man pass defense, this meant that the team was restricted in how many could try to pressure the quarterback. The Huskies also used a six receiver formation and passed a lot as well. This seemed to work well in the first half of the game but then the offense bogged down somewhat in the second half.

“It was a really good game,” coach MacNeil said, adding that it was the first time that Sacred Heart had made it to the semi-finals in the playoffs. In ten seasons of football action at the school, the Huskies have made the playoffs four times but only this season did the Huskies get past the first round of the playoffs. The Huskies’ victory over the Immaculata Saints in quarterfinal playoff action was the Huskies’ first-ever playoff victory. Next season the Huskies will probably play at the JOHN CURRY PHOTO junior level before Sacred Heart Huskies running back Cole Hodge, number re-entering senior 33, carries the ball as he turns up the field in high school level action in the following season. senior football league action this season.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Adherents of Islam and Christianity came together at the Stittsville United Church last Sunday and, lo and behold, the two religions are not that much different. Islam advocates a message of peace and love, which is certainly the Christian message as well. The two religions were the focus for a postbrunch forum at Stittsville United Church with about a dozen members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community of Ottawa joining with members of the Stittsville United Church congregation for the brunch. Following the brunch, questions were posed to young adults of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community as well as to six members of the youth group at Stittsville United Church about faith issues, with Stittsville United Church minister Rev. Grant Dillenbeck as the moderator. The Muslim young adults told the more than 60 members of the Stittsville United Church congregation at the brunch that religion for them means more than just rituals and dress but
rather is a whole way of life, dictating how a person should act in various circumstances. The Islam religion offers a complete code of ethics, meaning that religion for a Muslim is not just a part of life but dictates how a person leads that life. Being religious and contributing to society go hand in hand for a Muslim, it was said. Because Islam is seen as a way of life, it is not hard to obey the religion’s dictates such as abstaining from alcohol and not eating pork. While Muslim’s pray formally five times a day, they also practise another form of prayer that can happen at any time of the day. Muslims do experience discrimination, although in Canada not from society as a whole but rather at times from fellow Muslims as there are differences within the Islam faith community just like there are in the Christian community, with different churches such as the United and Catholic. It was pointed out that a true adherent of Islam believes in peace with no tolerance for compulsion or terrorism. Islam is also tolerant of other religions, believing that there is more than one way to attain heaven.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The New Year of 2011 is coming fast and so is Stittsville’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve FUN-Raiser. It is the second annual, following on the heels of the inaugural one held on New Year’s Eve a year ago which raised $3,500 for the Stittsville Food Bank and, just as importantly, was a fun event for the 106 who attended. This year’s second annual event will once again be held at the Oz Dome on Westbrook Road off Carp Road between Hazeldean Road and highway 417. It turned out to be a great location with plenty of parking, proximity to home and a spacious lounge area which can accommodate up to 150 people, leaving lots of room for growth for those who heard all about last year’s fun and want to be there this year. Organizers are promising that this year’s second annual event will be an occasion to “celebrate New Year’s Eve at a party like no other.” There will be D.J. music, a cash bar, hors d’oeuvres and, most importantly, lots of fun. All of the proceeds will be going to the Stittsville Food Bank. The inaugural event was held when Orlene Campbell of Stittsville, who has always attended a New Year’s Eve party, and some friends and neighbours decided to have a New Year’s Eve party for Stittsville residents right in the community. News of it was spread through word of mouth and everything fell into place, although one challenge was finding a location. It
turned out that one of the organizers had a contact with the Oz Dome and arrangements were made to hold the party in the lounge area there. What was really amazing about the inaugural event was the generosity and cooperation which Ms. Campbell and her fellow organizers experienced as they were planning the event. Many businesses came on board, donating fixtures and flowers for the party space and also donating numerous items which were used to fill up gift baskets which were raffled off on New Year’s Eve, generating $800 of the funds raised for the food Bank. The disc jockey even donated the use of a giant big screen for the event, something which normally rents for $150. Organizers hope to have a capacity crowd of 150 at the party this year and it really is a great spot for such an event. Last year organizers gave it an elegant feel thanks to multi-layered glass centerpieces, donated flowers and an overall festive atmosphere and the same atmosphere will prevail again this year. So hopes are that this year’s event will be bigger and better, with more people in attendance, more fun and, in the end, more funds raised for the Stittsville Food Bank. You don’t want to miss out on this unique Stittsville New Year’s Eve party. Tickets are remaining at $50 per person, the same as last year. For tickets and additional information, email rockinnye@hotmail. ca or check out Stittsville Rockin’ NYE Fun-Raiser on Facebook.

their current townhouse rental. The dream of home ownership seemed out of reach until Mohammed and Tania applied and qualified for a Habitat home. One requirement is to provide 500 hours of sweat equity in lieu of a down payment. Although the Tareq family has reached its 500 hour objective, Mohammed intends to continue to be actively involved with Habitat. “Whenever I get time, I will work there … because it really changed my life,” he says. This Habitat for Humanity home on Carp Road was able to be built thanks to a $75,000 home building grant from The Home Depot Canada Foundation. The home was built with the support as well of various donors, sponsors and volunteers. The first Habitat for Humanity home in Stittsville, which provided housing for two families, was built on Cedar Street.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Stittsville’s second Habitat for Humanity home is now completed. This home on the south side of Carp Road between Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road was formally dedicated on Tuesday, Nov. 2, marking the completion of construction. Over 100 people attended this dedication ceremony as the owners took official possession of the building. The two storey home will now become the home of the Tareq family – mother, father and two sons – who will be moving in later this month. The Tareq family will own the home, paying an interest free mortgage to Habitat for Humanity National Capital Region. These funds will help build more Habitat for Humanity homes in the future. The Tareq family – father Mohammed, mother Tania Sultana and children Sammy, 6, and Justin, 10 – are moving to their new home from

2010 great year for Richmond 4H Club BOBBY MOWAT AND JESSE WILSON SPECIAL TO THE NEWS 2010 was a great year for the Richmond 4H Club. The Club had 15 members, aged 10 to 18 years old, with 12 involved in dairy and two in beef. Three members also did crops. All 15 members participated in the 4H shows at both the Richmond Fair and the Carp Fair. Three Club members advanced to the Metcalfe Fair, participating in shows on both the Friday and the Saturday. The Richmond 4H Club took second place at the Carp Achievement Day for its bedding pack. It had to be kept clean and dry with the calves in orderly fashion and straightened up all the time. The Richmond 4H Club held a BBQ to support the club at Green Tech Ag & Turf on Perth Street in Richmond in August. Also, in August, Eastern Breeders Inc. and Gencor put together a program to support 4H. With the purchase of a unit of Braedale Goldwyn, the most respected sire in the world, $25 was donated to 4H Ontario to help support its youth programs. The Richmond Club received part of this donation to 4H Ontario to help support the local club. The Richmond 4H Club members and some family and friends recently went bowling at the North Gower Bowling Lanes. During the year, the Richmond 4H Club has met at the Fallowfield United Church, Pleasantview Dairy Farms, Jock Valley Farm, Hillside Farms, Twin Elm Farm, Valleyview Little Animal Farm and the Richmond fairgrounds where the 4H Judging Night was held.

AT MUNSTER UNITED CHURCH
Drop into the basement SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The basement hall at the Munster United Church will be the place to be this Saturday, Nov. 20. That’s where a used book sale and bake sale of freezable baked goods suitable for Christmas entertaining will be taking place, running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Among the offerings will be quality used books, CD’s, DVD’s and puzzles (with all the pieces). All of this plus Christmas baked goods – you don’t want to miss it. Munster United Church has been a busy place lately. The youngsters in the congregation have been collecting food for the Richmond Food Bank. This has led to a lot of fun, such as in trying to match the weight of some of the church’s male adult members. Members are also donating food cards for perishable items as well. While the youngsters have been building their mountain of food donations, adult mem-
bers of the congregation have been working hard completing the addition at the rear of the church. They want to get the extension closed in before the arrival of winter’s snow. The new addition will provide a new entrance to the church, a wheelchair accessible washroom, a new staircase, storage and a cloakroom for the church. Donations to help with this project are still being accepted. Anyone wishing to donate should leave a message for Rev. Matt Gallinger, the church’s minister, at 613-6931849. The congregation is also collecting used glass frames for the people of Haiti through participation in the vision aid program of Laurier Optical. In addition, used snowsuits and winter woolens in good condition are being collected for children in the area. Used glasses or winter clothing may be dropped off at the church on Munster Sideroad in the heart of Munster any Sunday or Wednesday morning.
Friday night dinners at St. John’s hall
422710
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS That Friday night dinner, always a challenge at the end of the week. But now, thanks to St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond, there is going to be a solution, at least for the six Friday nights leading up to Christmas. It’s called “Ladies Night Off” and is a reasonably priced Friday night dinner at the St. John’s Anglican Church hall on Fowler Street in Richmond.
They began last Friday, Nov. 12 and will be running each Friday night through to Friday, Dec. 17. For the first three of these Friday night dinners, pasta will be on the menu. But all of these Friday night dinners, whether pasta nights or not, will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at a cost of only five dollars per person and only three dollars for children under 12. There are no advance tickets required, just show up at the hall and enjoy the meal.
