Changes coming for intersection JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF

ABBOTSFORD

Planned improvements to the intersection of Fernbank Road and Shea Road in the southeast corner of Stittsville may make it safer and help reduce collisions at the intersection like the Nov. 17 two vehicle crash that resulted in injuries to three persons.

The improvements will involve

the realignment of the intersection so that the incoming roads line up, unlike now where they are offset.

There are also plans for traffic signals at the intersection.

Funds were set aside for these intersection improvements in the city of Ottawa’s 2010 budget but additional Environmental Assessment work may require additional funding from the 2011 budget.

Part of the challenge with re-

aligning the intersection is the presence of the high voltage transmission line which is located at the intersection.

It may end up that the realigned intersection will not be a rightangled intersection but may be more like the nearby intersection at Fernbank Road and Stittsville Main Street.

If it’s important to you, it’s important to us.

There’s raisins, currents, citrus peel, brown sugar, flour, mixed fruit, eggs, milk, cherries, cinnamon and spices, all mixed together – oh, and suet. It’s all steamed for four hours, allowed to age for a couple of weeks and placed in a pretty bag with a bow, complete with recipes for sauces that will make it even more delicious. And there you have it – the Christmas puddings that will be sold at this Saturday’s first ever Christmas Bazaar and Tea Room held by the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville.

It all from an old family recipe that came to the CWL ladies in Stittsville via Holy Redeemer Church in Kanata where the Christmas puddings proved to be a Yuletide favourite.

Since this Saturday marks the first ever Bazaar for the CWL of Holy Spirit Parish, it also marks the first time that these Christmas puddings are being offered in Stittsville.

A group of CWL ladies met recently in the kitchen at the Holy

These Christmas puddings will be a featured item at this Saturday’s Christmas Bazaar and Tea Room, with each one wrapped up in a bag with a pretty bow. Attached will be a card giving the recipes for sauces (e.g. lemon or butterscotch) that are a delicious addition to the puddings.

“Ours are going to be very pretty,” says CWL president Gaye Lalonde in describing the puddings as they sit on sale at this Saturday’s Bazaar.

Once the pudding’s ingredients are all mixed up (note: there are no nuts in this pudding), they are steamed in cans on a rack for four hours. And then they are refrigerated, not frozen, waiting for sale day this Saturday.

Like a fruitcake, this pudding gets tastier with age.

“The longer it sits, the better it is,” says Ms. Lalonde.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The co-operative work placement program at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville allows students to get a taste of work in a field that appeals to them. This can vary from plumbing to restaurant work to office work to automotive service to being a teacher’s assistant.

For grade 11 student Geoffrey McKenna, it meant giving him the opportunity to discover the work done by city of Ottawa arborists.

And for grade 12 student Claire Van Aert, it meant having the opportunity to learn about the work of the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

Geoffrey McKenna is working with the city of Ottawa’s west end forestry crew, a placement which he accessed thanks to a neighbour who works there. For Geoffrey, it has turned out to be an ideal placement because he likes being outdoors. An office job just does not appeal to him.

He began this co-op work placement in September and will be continuing through to the end of the current semester in January.

He has gotten to see and experience it all, from pruning trees and checking for disease to actually taking down trees.

For Claire Van Aert, her co-op work placement has been at the Canadian Wildlife Federation where she has done a variety of office work such as handling donation forms and validating survey information. She is interested in becoming a Wildlife Conservation Officer and this placement was the closest that she could come to it. While it does not involve any field work, it does expose her to the work of the Canadian Wildlife Federation. “I find out what the public wants to know,� she says, as well as getting to understand how much the public knows about conservation. She finds that the public does know quite a bit about conservation but wants to know more and certainly wants to help. Her work has included providing information brochures to the public.

Her efforts have been appreciated since it is a very busy office with additional hands meaning that more can get done.

Claire is familiar with hands on field work thanks to the Specialist High Skills Major in Environmental Studies course at Sacred Heart where she has experienced field work such as testing pond water and has learned about things such as energy efficient housing forms. Claire, who has been in Sea Cadets for five years, may be attending Royal Military College in Kingston next year.

Among the co-op work placements on display at the Sacred Heart co-op career fair day were J & K Plumbing, a construction labourer, a handyman, building maintenance, an RV technician at Open Roads, a teacher’s assistant, a filing clerk, the Carp Animal Hospital, Swiss Chalet, Broadway Bar & Grill, the Woodturner, a doctor’s assistant, a grocery clerk at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, L D Tool & Die, automotive service, Alloy Wheel Repair and an auto detailer.

It was Christmas blitz time for the Stittsville District Lions Club last week.

Lions Club members spent two days, Thursday, Nov. 18 and Friday, Nov. 19, telephoning various businesses in the area, seeking donations for the Club’s Christmas cheer work.

This annual telephone fundraising blitz can raise over $11,000 which the Lions use to support various charitable organizations and initiatives such as the Stittsville Food Bank.

This telephone blitz all stems from the involvement of the Stittsville District Lions Club in the former West Ottawa Lions Christmas Cheer Broadcast on CFRA Radio.

The Stittsville Lions were one of the participating Lions Clubs involved with this broadcast which revolved around collecting dona-

tions to help with charitable work of Lions Clubs at Christmas time.

When the broadcast ceased, the Stittsville District Lions Club carried on by doing their own telephone blitz of local businesses, seeking donations.

This is only part of the Christmas involvement of the Stittsville District Lions Club in local Christmas happenings.

The Lions Club recently looked after putting Christmas lights and sponsor messages on the trees at Village Square. These lights will be turned on for the first time this coming Saturday, Nov. 27 immediately following the Christmas Parade of Lights.

And, speaking of the Parade of Lights, the Stittsville District Lions Club will be front and centre there as well. They will be travelling along the parade route just before the parade itself, collecting donations of both food items and cash for the Stittsville Food Bank.

Possibility of extension of Poole Creek pathway JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Poole Creek pathway on the east side of Stittsville Main Street may be extended.

The proposed extension would run along the west side of the creek from where the

pathway currently crosses the creek and heads up an incline to Hesse Crescent northward toward Wildpine Court.

Phil Sweetnam, who sits on the Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC) board of directors, says that the MVC has some fund-

ing to make a plan for such a pathway and to help in its construction. However, before such a pathway extension becomes a reality, the city of Ottawa will have to agree to accept responsibility for it in terms of maintenance over the long term.

Extending the pathway in this area was proposed a number of years ago but brought forth protests from adjacent homeowners on Hesse Crescent as the pathway was proposed to run between their homes and the creek. This time the extension is being proposed for the west side of the creek which is across the creek from any adjacent homes.

David Jenkins, who is one of the homeowners involved and who is a director on the Stittsville Village Association, commented at the Association’s recent executive meeting that he did not think there would be too much objection to a pathway on the far or west side of the creek, away from adjacent homes. The pathway extension proposal had been brought up at the SVA meeting by Mr. Sweetnam who is also an SVA director.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was present at the SVA meeting, acknowledged that pathways behind homes are always a concern for homeowners but noted that an extension of the Poole Creek pathway in this location would be picturesque and he also noted that it would be on the opposite side of the creek from any homes.

Mr. Sweetnam said that he would urge the pathway planners to include any mitigation measures which adjacent homeowners might deem necessary regarding any such pathway extension.

The extension would go over city owned lands as well as some privately owned land.

Mr. Sweetnam expressed confidence that permission could be obtained to put the pathway extension over the privately owned land.

Mr. Sweetnam, who has been on the MVC board for 30 years, said that the MVC accomplishment of which he is proudest is the Poole Creek pathway which began 25 years ago in the area beside the Stittsville arena.

He said that since then, such pathways along creeks have been replicated elsewhere in the city of Ottawa.

Mr. Sweetnam noted that there had been some work done by the MVC and some of its partners along Poole Creek recently.

Following up on a complaint from a local resident, the MVC recently removed logs and debris from the creek in the area behind Hesse Crescent. This took about two years to accomplish, first because funds had to be included in the MVC budget and then because the work had to be done away from fish spanning season.

The MVC, along with the Ottawa Stewardship Council and other partners, recently planted 50 trees along Poole Creek in the area near Eileen Crescent and Denham Way. The trees, planted near the creek, will eventually provide shade for the waterway, ensuring its survival as a cold/cool water stream that can accommodate brown trout.

The trees will also add to the landscape and beauty of the area.

Mr. Sweetnam highly praised this particular area of the creek, saying that Stittsville was very blessed to have such an area within its boundaries. This area of the creek can be accessed via pathways from Eileen Crescent, Denham Way, Springbrook Drive and Abbott Street.

The Ingleneuk Dancers, dressed in traditional Scottish attire, perform a dance at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s celebration of St. Andrew’s Day and all things Scottish at the Society’s monthly meeting at the Stittsville Legion Hall last Saturday afternoon.

and Kingston areas. Another group of Scots worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company in Canada.

“A lot of Scots obviously have shown Canada their tenacity in all sorts of areas,” Mr. Inglis said, explaining that the first Prime Minister of Canada was Scottish, as were many of the early leaders in banking, real estate, education and commerce.

He said that about 15 percent of Canadians list Scottish as their background, noting that 4.5 million Canadians today claim a Scottish ancestry.

“We’re definitely around, here, there and everywhere,” Mr. Inglis said.

He noted that St. Andrew’s Day, which falls on Nov. 30, is not as well known around the world as Robbie Burns Day on Jan. 25.

He explained that St. Andrew’s Societies have sprung up in Canada wherever a number of Scottish live. The oldest St. Andrew’s Society in Canada is in New Brunswick which was formed in 1798.

Ottawa has a St. Andrew’s Society which, like all such societies, has a benevolent aspect to its existence, raising funds for charity.

The Ingleneuk Dancers performed several dances throughout the event. They were dressed in traditional Scottish garb, with the ladies wearing green vest tops, white skirts and tartan scarves while the men wore different coloured tartan kilts, white shirts and green ties. The dancers always seemed to have smiles on their faces.

Among the dances which they performed were an opening dance entitled “This is Scotland”; a dance which told the story of the St. John River in New Brunswick; a dance called “The Royal Salute” which goes back to 1845 when a young Queen Victoria visited Scotland for the first time, with the dance being done to welcome her; a dance called “St. Andrew’s Square” which is a medley involving fast, slow and then fast again tempos; a slow Scottish waltz; and a final dance which was a lively one. These dances were mainly performed by a group of eight dancers, with recorded music playing.

Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell sang two songs, both acapella, while dressed in appropriate costume, namely a white top with a red/green tartan full length skirt.

At the conclusion of the event, Charlie Inglis was presented with a birthday cake celebrating his 61st birthday. It was also announced that his mother, who was in the audience which numbered about 50 people, was to celebrate her 90th birthday.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Stittsville Legion Hall turned into a little piece of Scotland last Saturday afternoon.

It was all thanks to the Goulbourn Township Historical Society which presented a program celebrating all things Scottish as its November monthly meeting.

And the Historical Society engaged Charlie Inglis and the Ingleneuk Dancers which he founded to provide much of the Scottish atmosphere for the gathering. And with Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell adding a musical touch and Mr. Inglis filling in between dancing and singing performances with some Scottish history and heritage stories, it was a gathering fit for the clans, whether you were Scottish or not. And let’s not forget the haggis – paraded out, extolled with the recitation of Robbie Burns’ “Address To a Haggis” by Mr. Inglis and, later, sampled by all those who wished.

Mr. Inglis summed it all up in his introductory remarks: “Hopefully, at the end of this, you are informed and entertained as well,” he said.

This was all done to celebrate St. Andrew’s Day which falls on Nov. 30. St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland as well as of Greece, Russia and even Prussia. How did this happen?

Mr. Inglis explained that St. Andrew, who was one of Christ’s apostles and died being crucified on a cross, had, according to legend, some of his relics taken to Scotland around the year 300 when the Roman emperor was going to relocate to Constantinople. These relics found a home in a chapel and then a cathedral at St. Andrew’s which became the religious capital of Scotland for some time.

“There are bits of St. Andrew in Scotland, according to legend, and that is why he is our saint,” Mr. Inglis said.

He later explained about the flag of Scotland which is a Saltire or St. Andrew’s Cross on a blue background. Legend says that this flag was chosen because a vision of it was seen in the sky before a battle. There has been a dispute over the blue colour of the flag which was not resolved until 2003 when legislation dictated the specific colour of blue.

Mr. Inglis explained that the first Scots to come to Canada reportedly arrived when Hector St. Clair, the Earl of Orkney, sailed to North America around 1358.

Many Scots were later soldiers in the British army, fighting against the French in North America. Many settled in Quebec following the wars and others settled in the Cornwall

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.

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.

RESIDENT

Angela Green passes away SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Mrs. Angela Green has died. She was 92.

She died at the Rideau Crest Nursing Home in Kingston after a lengthy illness.

The former Angela Lyng, she married Delmer Green at Merrickville on Dec. 30, 1936. Over 375 people attended the 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Angela and Delmer Green which was held at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall in Richmond on Saturday, Dec. 27, 1986.

At this event, Mr. and Mrs. Green were presented with a certificate of congratulations from the Royal Black Institution in Canada. They also received a message from Governor-General Jeanne Sauve as well as certificates of congratulations from Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Nepean-Carleton MP Bill Tupper.

In his remarks at the event, Dr. Tupper called Mr. and Mrs. Green “two exceptionally precious people who have given so much to all of us.” He noted their involvement with St. John’s Anglican Church, the Richmond Agricultural Society and the community in general. They also received congratulatory plaques from the province and from Goulbourn township.

Mr. Green worked for the Canadian National Railway, starting in 1937 and working for almost 40 years until his retirement in 1976. During that time, he and Angela lived at Dwyer Hill and Nolan before moving to Richmond in 1943. They later moved to Kingston in 1963 due to a promotion.

Mrs. Green was an active member of the Richmond Women’s Institute, serving as president in 1960-61 and again in 1973.

Mrs. Green was predeceased by her husband Delmer and a son, Arthur, four grandchildren and one great grandchild. She is survived by her children Christina, Don, Earl, Patricia, Gary, June and Barry. She is also survived by 16 grandchildren, 20 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren.

The funeral service was held at St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond on Monday, Nov. 22 with interment taking place at the Munster Union Cemetery.

There is a possibility that the Stittsville event, held in conjunction with the annual Villagefest celebrations in the early fall, may become a Canadian qualifying event for the big American soap box event at Akron, Ohio.

“It would be a nice little feather in our cap for a four year old race,” Mike O’Rourke of Stittsville said of the local event after reporting this possibility in his comments on this year’s soap box derby at the annual general meeting of the Stittsville Village Association on Thursday, Nov. 18. Mr. O’Rourke and his son Sean have been two of the organizing stalwarts of the Stittsville soap box derby since it began four years ago.

Mr. O’Rourke also reported that the Canadian Soap Box Racing Association, at its Peterborough event, raises funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. He suggested that it might be appropriate to integrate such fundraising into the Stittsville event as well, particularly since some of those involved with the SVA, which sponsors the Stittsville event, are battling cancer or have a loved one who is battling the disease. He said that he will be working on this aspect of the Stittsville event over the coming months.

He noted that Fern Turpin of the Turpin auto dealership has provided major funding for the event over the years and reported that he is currently working on establishing this sponsorship on a longer term basis.

Mr. O’Rourke reported that more youngsters from Stittsville tried out the soap box racing this year than ever before.

SVA president Metin Akgun commented that these soap box races in Stittsville are the only officially sanctioned soap box races in the whole city of Ottawa.

The Canadian Soap Box Racing Association which sanctions the races in Stittsville provide the starting ramps and the timing system. This year’s event attracted soap box racers from across Ontario.

The Turpin Stittsville Soap Box Derby is held on the hill on Abbott Street just east of Village Square park which is the location for the Villagefest celebrations themselves.

Fantasy of light this Saturday in Stittsville This Saturday, Nov. 27 will be one of the most exciting days of the year in Stittsville. That’s because it’s the day when the annual Christmas Parade of Lights will take place.

Boy, we can’t wait.

There are two events in Stittsville which attract thousands of onlookers and when we as a community come together to enjoy a spectacular happening. One is on Canada Day when thousands flock to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex grounds to witness the fireworks display when the sky is lit up with bursting and cascading splashes of light, all different colours. Everybody loves fireworks and they’re even better when we are watching with friends and neighbours from the community.

The other community event which draws thousands and also involves spectacular splashes of light, of varying colours, is this Saturday’s Parade of Lights. Everyone loves a

parade and when it involves lots of floats displaying thousands of Christmas lights, moving slowly along in the evening darkness along Stittsville Main Street, it is no wonder that the street is lined with onlookers. And this is what we have in store for us this coming Saturday – a local parade that generates “oohs and awhs” all the way along the street, from viewers of all ages.

It is yet another opportunity to enjoy the fantasy of light, just like happens at the Canada Day fireworks, albeit in a different way. And to be able to do it in a community setting, joined by thousands of others, well, that’s just priceless.

So, everyone, let’s synchronize our watches – 7 p.m. this Saturday, Nov. 27. See you somewhere along Stittsville Main Street for a blazing display of colour with a Christmas theme. It is bound to get you not only into the Christmas spirit but also into the Stittsville spirit – and that’s a great

place to be.

And don’t forget, if you want even more spectacle, visit Village Square in the heart of the village immediately after the parade for the annual turning on of the Christmas lights there. A darkened landscape suddenly becomes a plethora of Christmas lights, brightly illuminating the area, all with the flick of a switch.

This marks the official launch of the Christmas season in the community and it will generate that Christmas spirit in your heart as you and your loved ones trek back home, having just witnessed the magic of Christmas lights in a parade and at the park and experiencing how these little lights, when glowing together in the darkness, can make that Christmas spirit come alive in your heart.

That’s why this Saturday, Nov. 27 will be one of the most exciting days of the year here in Stittsville.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Having some wine with your meal. A popular idea. Having some beer with your food. Not so common. But now there is a locally brewed, food friendly beer that brings flavour and freshness to the table. Let the revolution begin – have a Kichesippi Natural Blonde and taste the difference.

This is the message that Paul Meek of Stittsville, owner and operator with his wife Kelly of the new Kichesippi Beer Co. of Ottawa, is trying to get out there. His primary market focus which he is reaching through restaurants is food lovers who enjoy locally produced products. And that’s what his family run brewing business is producing.

His Kichesippi Beer Co. is brewing beer locally in small batches, ensuring freshness and quality. His Kichesippi Natural Blonde is an all malt pale ale, produced without adjuncts or fillers. It features a subtle fruitness and light malt flavour, with a medium bitterness at the end making it a food friendly brew.

Spice, citrus and caramel aromas rise from its hops.

Indeed, the freshness of the product is a key selling feature for the Kichesippi Beer Co. That’s how it can distinguish itself from other beers in the marketplace and establish itself as Ottawa’s own beer. “Our focus is to reestablish the whole notion of a regional brewery,� Mr. Meek said as he explained his six month old brewery business to members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at their Nov. 16 meeting. The beer will only ever be available in the Ottawa area, ensuring a fresh product. Indeed, that is why the name Kichesippi, the historic name of the Ottawa River, is being used, to emphasize the regional focus of the product.

To go along with freshness is flavour and these two characteristics

SVA community events have a cost JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Stittsville enjoys year-round community events thanks to the efforts of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). These include the Christmas Parade of Lights, Winterfest, Artists and Authors in the Park, Canada Day and Villagefest.

But such events do involve not only substantial volunteer involvement but also funding to make them happen.

As a result, the SVA does handle funds that total in the five digits over the course of a year.

As retiring SVA treasurer Jean Kerr remarked at the SVA’s Nov. 18 annual general meeting when presenting her financial report, many people in Stittsville enjoy the events that the SVA organizes in the community but really do not have any idea about the costs involved.

She pointed out that the SVA is always soliciting funds from local businesses to help finance these community events, explaining that that’s how they are able to be held.

This year’s financial report

shows that the SVA had revenues of $35,236.75 for the 2009-2010 financial year, while expenses amounted to $28,588.37.

Expenses related to the operation of the SVA, such as office supplies, liability insurance and the SVA civic leadership awards for students totaled $1,888.83 this year.

Winterfest generated revenues of $309.75 from the sale of hot dogs and other sources while expenses such as the cost of providing sleigh rides was $681.76.

Canada Day celebrations have

big revenues and also big expenses. The 2010 Canada Day celebrations generated $26,867 in donations and city funding as well as the sale of glow sticks. Expenses including advertising, fireworks, sound system and other costs amounted to $22,307.59.

Villagefest generated donations of $3,450 while costs amounted to $2,739.19. Costs included an audio system, hay rides and other costs.

The Turpin Stittsville Soap Box Derby held in conjunction with Villagefest generated revenues of $885 from donations and registra-

tion fees. Expenses amounted to $971.60, consisting of the cost of T-shirts, fees to the Canadian Soap Box Racing Association and portable toilets.

The Christmas Parade of Lights in 2009 had no expenses but generated $225 in revenue from donations and the sale of reindeer insurance.

Besides its own funds, the SVA also manages funds for non-SVA activities including youth group expenses and the seniors fitness instructor courses which were held in 2010.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa Latest news on recent power outages On November 17, power outages throughout the day impacted close to 6,000 homes.

After speaking with representatives from Hydro Ottawa on the cause of the outages, they have updated me on what happened.

The main cause of the outage was due to a broken insulator on Hydro One’s A9M5 circuit out of their South March Station.

A9M5 circuit is the only circuit that feeds into the Alexander Substation.

At 11:32 am, Hydro One Circuit A9M5 auto-reclosed , which caused our RX2010 (Alex F3 circuit) recloser to auto. Crews patrolled the Alex F3 circuit and nothing was found. Hydro One did not call the control room to report that they had an Auto-Reclose on their A9M5 circuit of their South March Station.

At 3:10 pm, Hydro One Circuit A9M5 auto-reclosed and locked out. Hydro One called the Hydro Ottawa Control room notified them of this and requested that they close the circuit.

At 3:15 pm - Hydro One closed in the circuit (A9M5) picking up all of Hydro Ottawa customers along with theirs.

At 3:20 pm Hydro One Circuit A9M5 autoreclosed and locked out. Hydro One called the Hydro Ottawa Control room about this and reported that they were sending a crew to investigate. Hydro Ottawa notified them about a call reporting that there was a large flash and smoke coming from just outside the Alexander substation.

At 5:20 pm Hydro Ottawa crews performed switching to pick up all the Alex F3 load from the Bridlewood Station.

At 5:49 pm Hydro Ottawa performed switching to pick up all the Alex F2 load from the Bridlewood Station At 6:24 pm Hydro One energized their A9M5 circuit picking up their customers that were fed from the Alexander substation

Latest news on recent power outages At 6:49 pm Hydro Ottawa crews restored the Alex F2 & F3 load to normal supplies.

While I understand the frustration due to the frequency of these outages, I can assure you that Hydro Ottawa continues to actively take steps to enhance reliability in Stittsville. For example, new technologies have been installed to better control and monitor power distribution in Stittsville.

They have also replaced much of the older equipment and provided more back-up supply to the entire Stittsville area.

Additional improvements to their system in Stittsville will be underway in 2011 and 2012. By 2013, a new transformer station will be in operation to serve Ottawa West, including Stittsville. This work continues to considerably enhance the reliability in Stittsville Hydro Ottawa staff is advising that if you experience a power outage in the future, to please call their power outage line at 613738-0188 to report the outage or to obtain information or updates on the outages that may be underway. Their website also provides “outage reports”, which are updated daily so you can find out why an outage occurred the next day.

As a company that delivers an important service to the public, nothing is more critical to Hydro Ottawa’s success than providing reliable service and investing for the future. Please rest assured that they are committed to meeting these vital objectives to the benefit of our customers in Stittsville.

As we work towards a permanent solution, I ask for your patience and understanding.

Green Bin switches to by-weekly pickup Over the winter months, Green Bin collection will take place every two weeks.

The bi-weekly pick-up of Green Bins will start next week or the following week, depending on which of the four schedules residents are using (collection calendars

A & C or B & D). However, all residents will have Green Bin pick up this week.

Residents using collection calendars B & D will not have Green Bin pickup during the week of November 29 to December 3.

Residents using collection calendars A & C will not have Green Bin pick up during the week of December 6 to 10.

Weekly Green Bin and leaf and yard waste collection will begin again in April 2011.

Residents can refer to the online collection calendar at ottawa.ca to determine the correct calendar to use and to locate complete waste pickup schedules. Citizens can also call 3-1-1 to determine exactly when the bi-weekly collection of green bins commences in their neighbourhood.

Residents can also visit the online search tool “Waste Explorer” to find directions on how to properly dispose of any household items. The search tool indicates the proper way to recycle or dispose of everything from food and containers to old electronics, tires and Household Hazardous Waste (HHW).

SVA elects new members I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the new members of the Stittsville Village Association’s Executive that were elected at the SVA’s Annual General Meeting on November 18.

I wish the newest members, including new President Marilyn Jenkins, as well as the returning Executive, much success in the new year as the SVA continues to be a tremendous partner of the City of Ottawa and, most importantly, our community.

I am encouraged by the SVA’s direction and I look forward to working with its new team to make 2011 a successful and eventful year for our community.

I would also like to say thank you to Metin Akgun and Jean Kerr, who stepped down as President and Treasurer of the SVA respectively, for their years of service with the association. Without their leadership and hard work, Stittsville wouldn’t be the shining jewel it is today in the City of Ottawa.

Santa Claus is coming to … the ward office With Christmas just weeks away, Santa Claus is paying an early visit to Stittsville, just in time to receive everyone’s Christmas wish list.

On December 11, Santa and his helpers will be at my ward office, located inside the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, meeting with the children of the community. Santa will pay a visit from 10am-12pm. Digital photos of your children and Santa will also be available. As well, children will have an opportunity to decorate gingerbread cookies from 9am-12pm.

I look forward to seeing you and your family on December A new beginning On December 1st inside the beautiful Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans, Ottawa’s new City Council is officially sworn in beginning a new four year term as we work together to make important decisions for the better of the Nation’s Capital.

With a mix of veteran leadership along with the 11 new faces around the table, I look forward to working with this team for the next four years as we discuss the pressing issues that impact our city as a whole.

Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can improve Stittsville.

Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

My ward office is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, located at 1500 Shea Road. The hours of operation for the summer are Mondays 9-2pm, Wednesdays 3-8pm, Fridays 9-5pm, and Saturdays 9-1pm. Please do not hesitate to pay us a visit.

The voices of Goulbourn are back - in volume two JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF

The voices of Goulbourn’s past can be heard again.

The second volume of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past,” a collection of interviews with local residents with pioneer ties to the area, is now published and is on sale for $20 at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners, at King’s valu-mart at the Richmond Plaza and from Linda Preston of Richmond at 613-838-3115.

It is Linda Preston and her sister Cheryl McCoy who have compiled the book, just like they did for volume one which was published last year. Volume one is once again on sale at King’s valu-mart in Richmond, just in case someone who missed its publication wanted to have both volumes in this “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past” series.

Volume two features ten stories, ranging from interviews with Bertha Desjardins of Stittsville, Dr. Ken Hartin of Richmond and Lola Sample, Russell Dowdall, Lois Dowdall, Wayne Conley, Patricia McCoy and Vivian Cathcart, all descendants of Goulbourn pioneers, an account of the life of Percy Cathcart prepared by Linda Cathcart and based on the eulogy at his funeral as well as other information and the story

of Andrew Bak who was born in Poland but ended up living and farming in Goulbourn.

This second volume, which has more pages (114) than the initial volume (85 pages), came together within a year of the first volume as five of the interviews had already been done and the Bertha Desjardins interview by Grace Thompson, done in 1979, was uncovered. But there was still lots of work done by both Linda Preston and Cheryl McCoy in transcribing the interviews and compiling the book which is laden with generous helpings of photographs accompanying each story.

The two sisters are driven by a desire to preserve the history of Goulbourn’s early settler families and their descendants before their stories disappear.

“It’s still the idea to preserve the stories of the people who settled the area,” Linda says, acknowledging that there are still a lot of stories out there to be recorded and published. That’s why she and Cheryl will be starting work on volume three of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past,” although she can make no guarantee of when this next volume will be ready.

She says that in volume three, the goal will not to have ten interview-based stories as has been the case with the first two volumes.

Rather, the length of the interviews will de-

termine just how many of them are included in the third volume.

JOHN CURRY PHOTO

Linda Preston of Richmond holds a copy of the new volume two of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past.”

“I learn more every time,” Linda says about her publishing efforts, saying that she has now learned to solicit photographs from those being interviewed as the interviews are being done rather than afterwards as happened with volume one. This makes the process go more smoothly and efficiently.

She is an advocate of accompanying the interviews with photos, noting that those being interviewed usually have lots of photos that really add to the stories.

“The photos make it,” she says.

One particularly interesting page in the latest volume is a page giving a selection of recipes used by Carrie Conley. These include recipes for colic in horses, for whooping cough, for fly spray, for hard soap, for mash (a feed) for range turkeys and for the treatment of garget which is an animal disease.

The front cover of volume two of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past” features a colour photograph taken by Marilyn MacIvor of the former Orange Hall at Stapleton which was lost to fire. The front cover of the first volume featured a colour photograph of the Conley homestead barn at Stapleton which is along the Franktown Road west of Richmond.

Dean Oliver of Stittsville co-authors military history book JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF Stittsville resident Dean Oliver has co-authored with fellow historian Jack Granatstein a book that has everything that you might ever want to know about Canadian military history. But they took pains that this newly published book, “The Oxford Companion to Canadian History,” would appeal to the average reader and not just to historians.

“This is for the person interested in history and not just the professional historian,” Mr. Oliver says, noting that he and Mr. Granatstein, who is the dean of Canadian military historians, wrote the book essentially for the lay reader.

“We really hope it’s going to be a book that’s read,” he adds.

Mr. Oliver is the director of research and exhibitions at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa as well as an adjunct research professor at Carleton University’s Department of History. He has lived in Stittsville since 1998.

The idea for the book, which has been published by the renowned Oxford University Press in a unique partnership with the Canadian War Museum, came about when Mr. Granatstein was in New Zealand and received a copy of an Oxford Companion to New Zealand’s military history. He was upset that there was no such similar publication related to Canada and so he approached his longtime associate, Dean Oliver, about coauthoring such a book.

Most Oxford Companion books are written by a team of experts, each contributing in their field of expertise. But Mr. Oliver and Mr. Granatstein decided to write The Oxford Companion to Canadian

History just themselves, separating the work between them.

Once Oxford University Press agreed to the publication, they got down to writing, starting in 2008 and continuing through to this past spring.

They compiled a list of the possible topics, whittled it down and then divided them up, Mr. Oliver taking the first half and Mr. Granatstein working on the second half. The only exceptions were if one or the other had a certain expertise such as Mr. Granatstein and the Second World War or Mr. Oliver and the Cold War. The two authors then swapped drafts back and forth, with every entry for the book going through three serious edits by the other writer.

“We are both relatively good writers,” Mr. Oliver says, noting that they are both good editors as well so that the whole writing and editing process flowed rather easily.

He points out that Mr. Granatstein and he have worked together for so long over a 25 year span that it all worked out.

“The book was a great mass of hard work but great fun too,” Mr. Oliver notes. “Jack and I share a common grammar and style in much of this, having worked together effectively for so long, but disagree often enough that we can be reasonably good critics of one another’s work.”

It was a project that no one in Canada had ever attempted before but with the agreement of Oxford University Press, they really wanted to make it a book that people would actually read instead of a book that they would just consult from time to time. They tried to

write using as little military jargon as possible and to write the book as simply as possible, making it as readable as possible.

The book is lavishly illustrated , reproducing over 130 rare photographs, 55 paintings and 30 comprehensive full colour maps, many of which are published in this book for the first time anywhere.

In the editing process, some entries were reduced in size while others were enlarged. For instance, the entries dealing with World War One and World War Two were reduced in size in the end because much of the information is in other related entries. But the Cold War entry grew in size because it is more or less a stand-alone entry, with the information not contained in other entries.

Mr. Oliver, in retrospect, believes that a couple of the entries, such as one on war casualties which is one of the longest in the book, could have been substantially reduced.

He admits that the editing process perhaps failed them in this case, accentuated by the fact that such a topic had never been written about previously.

He also regrets that the book does not include a consolidated entry on First Nations military history in Canada. There is much included as part of other entries such as the War of 1812 but there is no comprehensive entry providing an overview of First Nations military involvement right up to First Nations soldiers serving in today’s armed forces. He admits that having such a consolidated entry just did not occur to either himself or fellow author Jack Granatstein at the time.

“This book reminds Canadians that war has shaped their nation’s

past and present,” the two authors write in the book’s preface. Both authors share this belief that Canada’s military past has shaped the country.

“Whether or not you have had anything to do with war, war has had something to do with you,” Mr. Oliver says about the impact of the military and war on each and every Canadian.

He is hopeful that this new book may prompt the Oxford University Press to publish more books related to Canadian history and perhaps even a series on Canada’s military history.

The book was released in late October at a book launch at the Canadian War Museum. The 528 page hardcover book, which sells for $70, can be found not only at the War Museum but also should now be at various retail outlets.

The Times Literary Supplement in London has published a recent review of The Oxford Companion to Canadian Military History which reviewer Nathan Greenfield, an author himself, calls an “extremely useful resource.” He calls authors Granatstein and Oliver “masters of concision”, noting in particular the five pages of text on the Battle of Vimy Ridge which he says cover not only the preliminaries to the battle and the fighting itself but also the way that the victory affected the young country of Canada.

The flyleaf to the book describes it as follows: “The Oxford Companion to Canadian Military History examines Canada’s role as both war-fighter and peacekeeper from the first colonial conflicts to the Afghanistan War. Entries listed in convenient alphabetical format – from ACE Mobile Force to Zom-

Dean Oliver

bies – provide concise descriptions of the events, personalities, and military-political issues that have shaped Canada within and outside its borders, past and present.”

The book’s entries in chronicling the evolution of Canada as a military power include biographies from James Wolfe to Louis Riel to Rick Hillier; key military-political issues like the conscription crises, war finance and Canada-United States relations; lesser known conflicts such as the Pig War and the Aroostook War; and recent issues facing the Canadian Forces such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

Mr. Oliver, who was co-author with Laura Brandon of “Canvas of War: Painting the Canadian Experience, 1914 to 1945”, was made a Knight in the Order of OrangeNassau by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in 2010 to honour his work in commemorating Canada’s role in the liberation of the Netherlands in the Second World War. Jack Granatstein has written more than 60 books and is an Officer of the Order of Canada. He was a professor of Canadian history at York University for over 30 years and is a former director and CEO of the Canadian War Museum.

Shoot the puck; Royals do SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Stittsville Royals were a shooting machine this past weekend.

The Royals blasted 51 shots at the Almonte Thunder goal on Friday night, Nov. 19 and then followed it up by peppering the Shawville Pontiacs goal with 39 shots on Sunday, Nov. 21. That’s a total of 90 shots on the opposing net in only two games.

But despite the shooting outburst, the Royals only gained a split in the two games.

The Royals 51 shots on goal in Almonte on Friday, Nov. 19 resulted in only two goals as they lost 6-2 to the hometown Almonte Thunder. Deklan Loth and Brendan Cruz scored for the Royals in this game.

A four goal Almonte outburst in the second period was what really sank the Royals in this game.

But the Royals rebounded last Sunday afternoon, playing at home at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. The Royals scored on eight of their 39 shots in this game, winning by an 8-1 score over the visiting Shawville Pontiacs.

David Nelson had a hat trick for the Royals in this game, while Matt Kadolph scored two goals.

Other Royals goals were scored by Steve Genier, Cody Waite and Brad Mason.

The Stittsville Royals now have a record of five wins, 13 losses, one tie and two overtime losses in 21 games so far this season.

They did it not by the seat of their pants as they went undefeated but they did it with help from a pair of ‘lucky’ red pants.

The Stittsville B3 Spartans won the Bantam B House League Tournament in Embrun over the Nov. 12 weekend, winning all three games but being aided in each victory by the player wearing these ‘lucky’ red pants.

What ‘lucky’ red pants, you say? Well, it all started before the team’s first game in the tournament when it was discovered that one of the Spartans had left his hockey pants back in Stittsville. After a mad panic to try to find a replacement pair, a pair of bright red ‘vintage’ pants was obtained. The pants proved lucky as the wearer had a spectacular game and even scored the winning goal in the game.

Well, for the team’s next game on the Sunday morning, didn’t it happen that another Spartan player had left his pants behind.

Once again, the bright red ‘vintage’ pants were pressed into service and once again, the wearer played a significant role in the game, scoring a key goal.

For the Spartans’ third game which was the championship game, the red pants were again worn in the game even though all of the Spartans had their own pants available. And, once again, the red panted player played a significant role, scoring the game and tournament clinching goal.

The Spartans now hope that the luck of these red pants, which have been returned

to their owner, will remain with the team for the rest of the season.

In this Embrun tournament, the Spartans outscored their opposition 14 goals to two goals in going undefeated and winning the championship.

In their first game, the Spartans faced the Les Eperviers de Hull, ultimately winning by an 8-1 score. Brennan Lee scored after only 18 seconds to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead. Another goal by Cyle Enos made it 2-0 for Stittsville going into the second period.

After Les Eperviers closed the gap to 2-1, Colin Azcona blasted home a goal from the point to give the Spartans a two goal lead again going into the third period.

The third period was all Spartans as they scored five goals to win 8-1.

Brennan Lee ended up with three goals in the game while Donny Chennette scored twice.

In the Spartans’ second goal on the Sunday morning, they beat the host Embrun Panthers 3-0 thanks to goals by Evan Marr, Connor Sullivan and Matt Bafia. Connor Pederson had the shutout in the Spartans’ net.

The Spartans then advanced to the tournament final, facing off against the Metcalfe Jets.

The Spartans fell behind 1-0 early in the game but came back before the end of the period to tie up the score thanks to a goal

by Cal Percy. Connor Pederson’s netminding helped keep the Spartans in the game in this first period.

Evan Marr then scored for the Spartans to put them ahead in the game. An insurance

The torch of leadership has been passed in the Stittsville Village Association (SVA).

Metin Akgun, who has been president of the SVA for the past five years, stepped down at the annual general meeting on Thursday, Nov. 18, with Marilyn Jenkins assuming the presidency.

She took on this leadership role in the SVA on the understanding that she would serve for one year while someone else was being recruited for the position. She is the wife of long serving SVA director David Jenkins who handles the SVA’s planning portfolio.

The other SVA executive position to change hands at the AGM was that of treasurer, with Claude Keon, who has been an SVA director for the past year, assuming this responsibility. He replaces Jean Kerr who steps down as treasurer after ten years in the position. She has been the only treasurer that the SVA has known since its formation ten years ago.

Also elected at the AGM were four directors. Three directors who have been serving on the SVA executive but whose term had expired were re-elected – namely David Fairbrother, Ken LaRue and Phil Sweetnam. Newly elected as a director at the AGM was Anthony

Tsoukanas.

Just before the elections were held at the AGM, director David Jenkins thanked both Mr. Akgun and Ms. Kerr for their years of hard work and effort on behalf of the SVA. He noted that Jean Kerr always had her pencil “sharpened” and that the SVA finances were always under tight control during her decade as treasurer.

He praised Mr. Akgun for his hands-on leadership of the SVA and his wide ranging involvement with just about every aspect of the organization. He noted that Mr. Akgun had severed as SVA vicepresident before taking over as president nearly five years ago.

“Thank you very much and you are going to be missed,” Mr. Jenkins told the two retiring executive members, after which there was a standing ovation in their honour from both the SVA executive and the eight who were in attendance in the audience at the AGM. After the election of the new president, Mr. Akgun expressed a few thoughts, his self-proclaimed “swan song” from his time as SVA president.

He noted that the SVA always had a dedicated group on its executive, noting that the president is just one member of the team. He said that the secret of success for the SVA is that everyone involved

pitches in and helps out.

He said that it had come a time for him to do other things in life but he also said that it was good for an organization to experience new blood in its leadership.

He thanked the SVA executive for their support over the years as well as Stittsville residents for their support of the SVA.

“It was a great time for me,” he said about his years with the SVA, followed by applause from those in attendance as he assumed a seat in the audience, away from the SVA executive table.

“I can only hope I can accomplish a little of what you did,” new SVA president Marilyn Jenkins commented in response to Mr. Ak-

gun’s “swan song” remarks.

Other members of the SVA executive who are completing their terms and were not up for re-election at this year’s AGM include vice-president Doug Sutherland, secretary Theresa Qadri, and directors David Jenkins, Christine Hartig, Maureen Wesselingh, Tanya Hein and Katrina Harder.

Gift Guide

Secret Santa gifts

By Kate Mervynson (NC)—It’s that time of year – you’re buying presents for your dearest friends and closest family members. And that one quiet guy at the office. It’s the office Secret Santa and you may find yourself buying for someone whose name you barely remember. To help, staff from Canada’s largest bargain hunting site, RedFlagDeals.com, have put together a list of top-notch but affordable gift suggestions:

Come in and visit us and you could

WIN Lady Gaga concert tickets!!

1 entry with every hair care service. Value at $400.00 per pair.

4 pairs of tickets to be won

Boss: Buying presents for your boss can be awkward. We’d suggest choosing a modest, meaningful gift over something overpriced or fancy – you don’t want to look like you’re currying favour. Something fun like a framed candid shot of your team at work or gourmet cookies can work for the executive in your life.

Come and join us at our

Receptionist: If there’s one thing a receptionist has enough of, it’s office supplies. Skip the cute notepads, novelty paperclips and colourful pens.

Treat the secretary to a bottle of highend hand lotion or a gift certificate to the local salon for a manicure/pedicure combo.

New person: This one is tougher.

Keep an eye on what the new person likes to eat or snack on. You can put together a gift basket or, for a more modern approach, keep your eye on the Deal of the Day promotions at RedFlagDeals.com. The Deal of the Day offers one-day specials on everything from food and drink to golf lessons and ski passes.

Intern: Usually “intern” is a code word for “underpaid”. Skip the gag gifts and get your intern a gift card for Amazon.ca or their favourite local store.

Tech Support: The people who fix your computer should be treated well.

You can’t very well give piles of money or bars of gold, but a gift certificate to their favourite restaurant would go over nicely.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It’s always been the store’s busiest weekend of the year. And this year’s eighth annual Christmas open house at Casual Elegance

Fine Gifts at the Shops of Main Street plaza promises to be the busiest ever. That is not only because of the array of specials, door prizes and activities planned for the event but also because of an expected boost in attendance because the store was featured on

the A Channel morning show this past Tuesday, Nov. 23.

TV personality Angie Poirier was at the store for the live broadcast which included a children’s fashion show. Such television exposure should make this weekend’s Christmas open house the busiest ever for the store.

“We’re looking forward to it,” says store owner Chantelle Turcotte, while outlining everything that will be going on this weekend on both Saturday, Nov. 27 and Sunday, Nov. 28. Indeed, the store will be having extended hours on Saturday, opening from 9 a.m. right through to 9 p.m., three hours later than normal. Sunday will see the regular hours of 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

And just what will be happening in the store this coming weekend?

There will be numerous door prizes as well as a variety of in-store features (read

sale items).

There will also be a Christmas trivia contest held every half hour, featuring a question about some aspect of Christmas.

Open house visitors will also be able to fill out a ballot for the grand prize draw that will be held as part of the open house festivities.

And there’s more – refreshments will be served including hot apple cider (boy, that’s good) and cookies. You just can’t beat it.

Everyone is invited to drop into this Christmas open house and enjoy all the special activities. And, in addition, the store is packed full of a wide array of great Christmas gifts that you just might to pick up for that someone special or that someone who is usually hard to buy for.

It’s all happening at Casual Elegance Fine Gifts in the Shops of Main Street plaza, just a few steps away from Stittsville’s Tim Hortons. Plan to attend.

Remembering on ice surface PETER NIKIC SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Remembrance was front and centre on the ice surface at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena on Remembrance Day evening, Nov. 11.

Not only did the two teams involved in the 6 p.m. Major Atom B game – the Osgoode Richmond Romans and the OrleansGloucester Blues – salute veterans with a post-anthem moment of silence while lined up on the ice and while holding their sticks high in the air as a sign of tribute but also they played the game with a very visible reminder on their helmets. They all had placed a poppy sticker on the front of their helmets prior to the game.

Joining the teams during the playing of the national anthem were a number of Canadian veterans and military personnel – Bob Rang-

er, Moe Lavoie, Richmond Legion president Brian Goss, Corporal Blake Ross and Jessica Darling.

The importance of taking time to remember the sacrifices of Canada’s military, both past and present, was emphasized by Jeff Hall, coach of the Osgoode Richmond Romans.

“Whether it’s at school, at a formal ceremony or on the ice, taking a minute to remember is very important,” he said.

“We are very proud of all these kids and fortunate to live in a time and place where playing a game of hockey is our concern,” coach Hall added.

Serge Tremblay, coach of the OrleansGloucester Blues, himself a 36 year veteran of the military, said that his team cherished the opportunity to recognize the veterans whose efforts gave Canadians the liberty enjoyed today.

ated with the Parade of Lights.

The Parade of Lights this year will leave the School Board Depot property on Stittsville Main Street across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer at 7 p.m., travelling south along Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Church is located) where the parade will disperse, although Santa, riding on a fire truck, will then return to Village Square for the turning on of the Christmas lights.

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.

It is still not too late to have a float in the parade. It’s a case of the more, the merrier.

Stittsville Main Street becomes the “great lighted way” this Saturday, Nov. 27.

That’s because it’s the night for the annual Christmas Parade of Lights when a hoped-for over 60 floats collectively boasting thousands of Christmas lights will travel slowly along the street lined with appreciative onlookers of all ages.

“It’s really a tradition in Stittsville now that the community really looks forward to,” SVA secretary Theresa Qadri said as she reported on last year’s 11th annual

Parade of Lights at the SVA’s annual general meeting on Thursday, Nov. 18.

“It is one of our glorious and shining events,” she added about the Parade of Lights which is one of several community events which the SVA organizes each year.

She said that it has been thrilling to see how the Parade of Lights has blossomed over the year since starting with only a handful of lighted floats and slowly growing to over 50 floats last year and an expected 60 floats this year.

Ms. Qadri noted how members of the Stittsville District Lions Club go along the parade route before the parade, collecting food

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.

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 wanting 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.

Huskies almost make championship final SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Sacred Heart High School Huskies came within a heartbeat of playing in the championship final in the high school tier two senior boys’ volleyball league.

The Huskies had a great season, finishing tied for second in the ten team league, with a record of seven matches won and only three matches lost.

In the playoffs, the Huskies defeated Ecole Deslauriers 3-0 in the quarter final round to advance to the semi-final round where they took on the Gloucester High School squad which also finished the regular season with a record of seven matches won and three matches lost.

This semi-final playoff game was as close as they come, with Gloucester eventually emerging with a 3-2 victory. Gloucester went on to play in the championship final, losing to the Woodroffe High School team which had finished first in the regular season with a record of nine matches won and only one match lost.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL

Stittsville News - NOVEMBER 25, 2010

JUNIOR

Great effort as Huskies come oh-so-close to win JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF

The Sacred Heart Huskies came oh-soclose to advancing in the high school junior girls basketball playoffs on Thursday, Nov. 18. It sure wasn’t for lack of effort as the Huskies fought back throughout the whole game, eventually tying the score with less than three minutes to go.

But that’s as close as they got as the Ashbury College squad then sank three late foul shots to chalk up a 46-43 victory.

What a game, though.

The Huskies, playing the preliminary round playoff game at home in the Huskydome at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, were behind by six points after the first quarter, trailing 14-8.

They closed the gap to 14-12 early in the second quarter but this was a close as they got as the second quarter ended with Ashbury ahead 25-18.

In the third quarter, the teams pretty much exchanged points, although the Huskies edged a little closer, moving to within five points, 36-31 as the quarter ended.

In the fourth quarter, the Huskies came on strong and they drew within one point, 4039 with over five minutes still to play. And with 2:50 still to go on the clock, the Huskies drew even, with the score tied 43-43.

Ashbury sank a foul shot just seconds later, once again taking the lead, although only by a single point, 44-43. This is how it remained until Ashbury sank two foul shots with less than half a minute to go to take a 46-43 lead.

The Huskies continued to press but time ran out, with Ashbury clinching a 46-43 victory and advancing to a quarter final playoff again against Hillcrest High School.

It was a good season for the Sacred Heart Huskies, finishing the regular season with four wins and two losses, good for a tie for second place in the seven-team West Division of the high school tier one junior girls’ basketball league.

The Ashbury College team finished in fourth place in the East Division with a regular season record of three wins and three losses.

The South Carleton High School Storm, which had won a tie breaker 19-16 over St. Francis Xavier High School to advance to the junior girls’ basketball playoffs, lost a preliminary round game 47-16 to St. Matthew High School on Monday, Nov. 15.

South Carleton had finished the regular season with a record of three wins and three losses.

St. Matthew had a regular season record of five wins and one loss in the East Division, finishing in second place.

Do your ears, nose and mouth have their own healing power?

Nicolas Ruszkowski

But there is hope for one day eliminating such discomfort. By using the body’s natural openings to access tumours or damaged organs, some surgeons can successfully operate through the mouths, noses, ears (and other openings perhaps too awkward to mention) of patients.

The Ottawa Hospital recently recruited just such a physician.

I had a grade 8 home room classmate named Chris.

He was cool. He got good grades. He excelled at every sport. He was close friends with my secret “crush”.

He intimidated me in every way, and I got to know him only from a distance.

Until, one day, I learned that he would be away for a while because he had a mass growing in his brain.

I was terrified – if it could happen to him, it could happen to me. Thankfully, after not too long, he came back. The growth had been benign.

Last month, teaming up with Ottawa Hospital ear-nose-and-throat surgeon Dr. Martin Corsten, Dr. Kassam successfully removed a tumour that had rooted itself behind the eye of patient Marion Fitzgerald, through her nostrils. Instead of the long recovery and pain management required in a traditional procedure, Marion took Tylenol with codeine to relieve a headache she had afterwards.

When we finally spoke, he told me his fear of having a malignant tumour, and how painful it would have been to be operated on through an opening in his skull. The thought made me wince.

While there is nothing routine about EEA surgery – or other techniques that use natural openings as portals to the rest of the body – the new approach begs an important question: how did God, or nature, actually intend for our ears, noses and mouths to be used?

It’s a technique still used for some forms of surgery.

Other procedures, just as scary and invasive, permeate hospitals around the world. Pain is still part and parcel of medical treatment.

Ottawa, November 23, 2010

Dr. Amin Kassam, a neurosurgeon trained at the University of Toronto and the University of Ottawa, is a pioneer of the Expanded Endonasal Approach (EEA), which uses nostrils as portals to access tumors in the brain and skull base, rather than a surgical opening at the top of the skull.

upstairs hall at the Stittsville District Community Centre (arena). It is no flash in the pan – the activity has been going on since about 1983 and now takes place under the auspices of the Friendship Club, with about 30 signed up for the program.

Margaret Kessels, who has been involved since the start of the program, is still participating at the age of 93. Indeed, the carpet bowlers recently celebrated the birthdays of three members who had reached 90 or more, enjoying a special birthday cake during their refreshment break. “Happy Birthday to the

ageless,” it read on the cake which honoured carpet bowlers Margaret Kessels, Alice Norris and Gabrielle Harrison.

“We know each other and we very much have fun,” says Beryl Mortimer who now looks after the program on behalf of the Friendship Club. It is also a good fitness program for participants, as it involves bending to deliver the bowl down the carpet and walking as the play progresses.

And then there’s the social aspect – you can chat while playing. There are no stoic competitive faces in this sport.

It is much like lawn bowling, only indoors and on a strip of carpet. A small white ball, known as a jack, marks the target and bowls, which are weighted balls much like lawn bowling balls except smaller, are delivered down the carpet and hopefully near the white ball. Usually there are four carpets in play on a Wednesday afternoon, with teams of two taking on each other on a carpet. Playing cards are used to determine just who plays against whom.

The score of a game is kept on a wooden scoreboard built a number of years ago by some

of the initial participants.

There is, in fact, room for two more carpets in the hall, so the carpet bowling program does have room to grow if more people want to participate. Many of the current participants are veteran seniors, i.e. over 80 years of age but those of all ages are welcome to take part in the program and have fun carpet bowling.

Right now, the program uses carpets which were purchased about ten years ago. They tend to crease and wrinkle and new carpets would be a godsend.

A rubber backed playing carpet would probably cost about $850 while an official carpet, made for the sport, would cost about $2,000. Staff at the Stittsville District Community Centre help out the program by rolling up the carpets and putting them away after each session. This is much appreciated by the participants.

Carpet bowling is popular in England where it is also called mat bowling and where it is even played in homes.

There is a formal English Carpet Bowls Association and the game is played in many community halls, especially in the south of England. The sport also has a following in Australia.

423509-46-10

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It’s good exercise. Anyone can do it as it is easy to learn.

It happens indoors so there are no weather concerns. And, most importantly, it’s a lot of fun.

Sound like the perfect activity? It may just be. Just ask the 15 to 20 members of the Friendship Club in Stittsville who turn out on a weekly basis to enjoy the activity of carpet bowling. Yes, carpet bowling – it’s lawn bowling except without the lawn. The grass is replaced by a carpet.
