MAKING HISTORY Board of directors for 2011 assumes leadership of Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program annually recognizes a dozen young people in the province whose involvement and leadership are making a difference in their communities. This year one of these award recipients is 12 year old Hannah Hempinstall of Richmond.

The Ontario Community Newspapers Association (OCNA) announced the 12 Ontario Junior Citizens of the Year on Friday, Jan. 21, with recipients ranging in age from 10 through 17 from all across the province – Toronto, Grimsby, Barrie, Oakville, Kingston, Port Hope, Shanty Bay, Madoc, St. Mary’s, Winchester and Nepean, as well as Hannah in Richmond.

They were selected from 107

youth nominated through a process publicized in the province’s 315 member newspapers of the OCNA last fall. A panel of judges reviewed all of the nominations and came to a unanimous agreement on the 12 winners.

Hannah Hempinstall, who is in grade 7 at Goulbourn Middle School, has been very involved in raising funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation but her selection as an Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year rests on much more than this.

Sharon Law of Richmond, who is Hannah’s school bus driver and primary nominator, describes Hannah as “a shining example of how to get things done, finding your voice no matter how young you are, and for doing what you believe is right, despite any obstacles in your way.�

In nominating Hannah, Ms. Law describes her as “kind, smart, funny and is well loved by all who know her.”

She points out that Hannah is an honour roll student, a competitive dancer and a Kung Fu student who has been elected as a student council representatives for three years in a row and who is accepted by her peers of every stripe.

“She is a natural leader and manages to do so with kindness, respect and a wonderful sense of humour,” Ms. Law wrote in the nomination.

And how does Hannah demonstrate this leadership and concern for others.

Well, she regularly leads the student bus riders in singing Happy Birthday to a fellow rider.

When the bus driver’s child was ill and in hospital, Hannah had every student in her school sign a giant card expressing good wishes for a speedy recovery. She then presented it to the bus driver mother.

For the past three years, Hannah has dedicated herself to raising funds to try to find a cure for juvenile diabetes. This is because her best friend, Emma Streatch, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in 2008.

In response, Hannah has not only organized annual Dance for Diabetes fundraising events at both her former school Richmond Public School and her current school, Goulbourn Middle School, raising over $6,000 to date, but she also takes every opportunity to try to educate her school mates about the disease of diabetes. This has included arranging for a representative from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to speak to students about the disease.

And she does not expect just others to give – she also gives herself. She

King’s

613 838-2141

organized “Hannah’s Great Garage Sale” where she sold her own toys, books, clothing and bicycle, raising $350 as her own personal pledge to fight diabetes.

Hannah’s concern for others goes beyond those she knows.

In the summer of 2010, she learned of a local girl who was diagnosed with leukemia.

Although she did not know this six year old girl, she made a huge card, again signed by everyone at her school, and had it delivered to the girl at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

She also volunteered for an entire day at a fundraiser where she painted faces and sold fudge and baked goods to raise money for the girl’s family.

And what does she do at the annual Richmond Fair?

She loves to play the games and win a stuffed animal or two. But when she sees a small child who is upset at not winning a stuffed animal at a game, she gives the child one of the ones that she won. She has been doing this since she was 3.

Hannah enters crafts into the Richmond Fair and also has participated in the Richmond Village Association’s “Winter Wonderland” banner contest.

Although she is no longer a competitive dancer due to taking up Kung Fu, Hannah did dance competitively for five years while also volunteering her time as an assistant teacher at the dance studio.

Hannah has been selected as a Diabetes Champion and was invited to Parliament Hill where she had breakfast with the Ministers of Health and Science and Technology.

In 2009, she was nominated for a Top 20 Under 20 Award by one of her teachers and last spring she was nominated for a Spirit of the Capital Youth Award.

“Hannah truly believes she can make a difference in the world by reaching out,” Ms. Law said in her nomination of Hannah. “It never occurs to her not to try.”

“Hannah accepts and treats others as she would hope to be treated herself,” the nomination states. “She is a bundle of positive energy and we are all so lucky to have her in our lives.”

Her nomination was supported by her dance teacher, Michaela Noffke, who describes Hannah as “a very bright young girl who devotes her time to giving back to others” and by her former Richmond Public School teacher Bruce Harvey who calls Hannah “the most caring and selfless young person I have ever met.”

The Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program has been honouring young people aged 6 to 17 across the province since 1981.

The awards themselves will be presented at a gala ceremony in Niagara Falls this coming May with the Hon. David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, officiating.

Hannah herself has never been to Niagara Falls and is looking forward to travelling there for the ceremony along with her parents Nancy and Peter Hempinstall.

The Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program is run by the OCNA with the support of two corporate sponsors, TD Bank and Direct Energy.

Nominees for the awards can be youth involved in community service; or can be youth who are contributing to society while living with a physical or psychological limitation; or youth who have performed acts of heroism or bravery; or youth who are simply “good kids” who show a commitment to making life better for others and who do more than is normally expected of someone their age.

SVA puts a hold on Winterfest event for this year john.curry@metroland.com

There will be no Winterfest in Stittsville this year.

The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which has hosted the annual winter carnival type event for a number of years has decided to suspend the Winterfest event for this year, with a goal of bringing back a revised, revitalized, revamped event in 2012.

Some tentative organizational work had been done on Winterfest 2011 such as arranging for a hay ride provider but any serious preparatory work had not yet taken place, pending a decision by the SVA executive on whether to proceed with the event or not this year.

In the past, the event, held at the Ralph Park Street outdoor rink, has featured hay rides, bed races, broomball and games such as chicken bowling. It has traditionally been held on the last Sunday in February.

Recent years have seen low attendance at the event which is why the SVA was questioning whether it should be held.

For the effort that goes into its organization, why is the SVA doing it for such a low attendance, SVA president Marilyn Jenkins asked at the SVA executive meeting on Thursday, Jan. 20.

Immediate past president Metin Akgun commented that many do not know where the Ralph Park Street rink is located in the village.

SVA director Christine Hartig suggested that there was not enough time left before the proposed Feb. 27 date this year to properly organize the event so that it would be well done.

President Jenkins agreed with this view, suggesting that the SVA needs to take a hard look at the number of community events which it hosts and the number of volunteers which are available and determine if an event can be held properly.

“It reflects badly on the organization if we don’t do it well,” she said.

SVA director Anthony Tsoukanas said that the biggest challenge will be to engage the public so that more people attend the event.

“We could really grow it if we had the time to promote it properly,” Mr. Tsoukanas said.

SVA director Theresa Qadri said that Winterfest is something that the SVA can definitely grow, although not this year.

She suggested revamping the Winterfest event, perhaps holding it as a free skate event with hot chocolate at the Stittsville arena instead of at the Ralph Park Street rink.

She suggested that the SVA should partner with some church groups and service clubs in the village in putting on the event.

SVA director Ken LaRue agreed that the event should be revamped for next year.

This led to a motion which was approved that Winterfest be suspended for this year, with the SVA taking a look at revamping it for 2012.

One factor in the decision to suspend the event is the absence now of legendary village organizer Marion Gullock on the SVA executive. She had always been one of the chief organizers of Winterfest but she is now no longer on the SVA executive.

Status quo for Historical Society leadership SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Goulbourn Township Historical Society leadership is remaining the same for another year.

At the Historical Society’s annual general meeting in Richmond last Saturday, two veteran Board members were reelected to new three year terms. All of the other six Board members are still completing portions of their multi-year terms.

Re-elected to three year terms were Tina Cockram of Munster and John Brummell of Stittsville. They both had completed their former three year terms on the Board.

Others on the Board of Directors are immediate past president Robin Derrick, Theresa Qadri, who is entering the third year of her term, and Lee Boltwood, Barbara Bottriell, Rev. Jim Kirkpatrick and Mike Bryan, all of whom are going into the second year of their three year terms on the Board.

Barbara Bottriell has been serving as Society president with Lee Boltwood as vice-president, Rev. Kirkpatrick as secretary and Theresa Qadri as treasurer.

These executive positions on the new Board of Directors will be determined at the Board’s first meeting following last Saturday’s annual general meeting.

This annual general meeting included

not only the election of the two Board members but also saw the presentation of various committee reports including those of the Goulbourn Museum and various Society initiatives such as program, publications and membership.

The meeting also had a moment of remembrance for Society members who had passed away since the last annual general meeting. These included Joyce Finney, Audrey Bobier, Jean Shaw and Shirley Eakins.

It was reported that the membership of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society as of Dec. 31 stood at 118 members.

A motion was also approved that the

Historical Society will transfer the ownership of the three dimensional artefacts which its own to the Goulbourn Museum Inc. once the Goulbourn Museum has achieved its separate incorporation and charitable status.

In its report, the Goulbourn Museum committee reported that participation in Museum activities in the past year had almost doubled from the year before.

This includes not only visitors to the Museum itself but also visitors who viewed offsite exhibits or took part in off-site programs. In 2010, 20,288 people participated in a Museum activity. The year before, in 2009, 10,231 had participated in a Museum activity.

Launch of photo contest highlights 2010 SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The launch of what will be an annual Heritage Photo Contest was one of the highlights of 2010 for the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

In her report about the activities of 2010, presented at the Historical Society’s annual general meeting in Richmond on Saturday, Jan. 22, president Barbara Bottriell told about this new Heritage Photo Contest which was begun as a way of creating interest in the history of Goulbourn.

A total of 47 entries in six categories were entered in the contest which saw the winners announced in November at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex.

The program’s success means that the Historical Society will be holding the contest again this year.

The Historical Society launched a new website in March 2010 which can be found at www.goulbournhistoricalsociety.org.

In 2010, the Historical Society continued its initiative of erecting historical information plaques on historically significant buildings in the community. The focus was on Richmond, with plaques installed on six buildings.

The Historical Society offered a number of interesting programs throughout 2010.

In February, just before Heritage Day, seven Society members appeared in cos-

tume at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library, chatting with patrons about the history of Goulbourn.

The program in March dealt with the topic of Home Children while April was an artifact guessing session called “April Fool You” and May’s program dealt with log fences in Eastern Ontario.

October saw a presentation by author David Mulholland entitled “How Historical Fiction Complements the Historical Record” while the November program was a celebration of St. Andrew’s Day. The Historical Society published a quarterly newsletter thanks to the efforts of its editor Virginia Notley.

The Historical Society also had a presence at Shad’s Picnic in the Park in June, at the Canada Day celebrations, at Colonel By Days in August in Ottawa, at Villagefest in Stittsville and in the Richmond Fair parade.

The Historical Society also presented history prizes to students at South Carleton High School in Richmond and at Sacred Heart Catholic High School and the Frederick Banting Alternate School, both in Stittsville.

The Historical Society also laid wreaths of Remembrance at the Remembrance Day ceremonies in both Richmond and Stittsville.

Throughout 2010, following an affirmative vote at the annual general meeting in January, the Historical Society

and its Museum Committee worked on bringing about the separation of the Historical Society and Museum, so that the Museum would have its own governance

situation. The Museum has now received confirmation of its incorporation and is now applying for charitable status, another step needed in the process.

Costumed characters from both the past and present and photographs are both going to be featured in this year’s Heritage Day celebration hosted by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

This Heritage Day celebration will be held on Saturday, Feb. 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

Held in collaboration with the Stittsville library, the theme of this year’s Heritage Day celebration will be “Goulbourn Past and Present, Old

and New.” There will be costumed characters present, representing some of Goulbourn’s characters from the past, as well as some “characters” from today. For instance, Stittsville’s favourite winter character, Percy Penguin, should be making an appearance along with a special “Train Engineer” for the children. There will also be music provided by a fiddler, adding to the heritage atmosphere of the event.

At this Heritage Day celebration, the Historical Society will be showcasing the photos submitted in its recent first-ever photo competition, featuring

So, when the opportunity came up to re-open a Curves facility in Stittsville, she grabbed it.

“I’m just really combining my passion for health and wellness with my passion for fitness,” she

In deciding to be involved in something that she loves, she was also motivated by the desire to help women achieve their fit-

Winners at zone, district levels SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Remembrance contest winners at the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion have brought home some honours from the zone and district levels of the competition.

The nine first place finishers in the various categories at the Richmond Legion branch level were sent on to compete at the next level which is the zone level. Two of these won at the zone level while another two finished second.

The two winners at the zone level then proceeded on to the district level, with one finishing second and another finishing third.

At the local branch level, there were 116 entries in nine categories in the Remembrance contest last fall. Students from all local schools participated as well as some home-schooled students.

Lydia Schriemer, a home-schooled student from Munster who won the senior essay contest at the branch level, finished second at the zone level.

Munster Elementary School student Cameron Ferguson, who won the primary division black and white poster category at the branch level, finished second at the zone level.

St. Philip Catholic School student Chloe Adams, who won the primary division coloured poster category at the branch level, finished first at the zone level and thus went on to the district level where his poster finished second.

South Carleton High School student Michaela McConnell, who won the intermediate division essay category at the branch level, finished first at the zone level.

Her entry then went on to the district level where she placed third.

EDITORIAL

Let’s go to Scotiabank Place The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has decided not to hold its annual Winterfest event at the end of February this year.

Instead, it is thinking of how the event can be revamped so that it will attract more people than has been the case in recent years. A revamped event may happen in 2012.

Some SVA discussion has revolved around the location of the event, the Ralph Park Street rink and whether its relative unknown location may be a reason for the low attendance at Winterfest.

We would suggest that the SVA should consider a new venue, namely Scotiabank Place, and rename the event the “Stittsville Skatefest.” The ice surface should be rented for a

couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, giving residents of Stittsville, especially those with young children, an opportunity to don the blades and skate on the home ice surface of the National Hockey League Ottawa Senators. We think that such an opportunity would attract many people. Besides skating, there might be some on-ice activities held and hopefully Spartacat and perhaps an Ottawa Senator or two, such as Chris Neil, might also attend. What an afternoon that would be!

An adjoining meeting room might also be rented, perhaps to serve hot dogs or chili or hot chocolate and to be a location for face painting and just lots of community conversation.

This “Stittsville Skatefest”

could be used as a fundraising vehicle, either for the Sens Foundation or for other community initiatives such as the Stittsville Food Bank or a Stittsville youth centre.

Arrangements would have to be made soon, we would think, to obtain use of the facility on an appropriate Sunday afternoon in February 2012 but we think that it would be well received and a great event for Stittsville families. After all, who would not like to have the opportunity to skate on the Sens home ice!

Hopefully the SVA will consider this “Stittsville Skatefest” at Scotiabank Place as a replacement for Winterfest. We think that it would be a spectacular success.

Lessons for grown-ups from Story Time After an absence of about, oh, 40 years, I checked in at the library for Story Time the other day. It was pretty good. All the kids thought so. There was a lot about snowflakes. The kids paid attention, behaved, the way kids do when they are really interested in something. And while the little movie had their undivided attention, so did the reading aloud from books, which is encouraging in this day and age. If you needed persuading, you would be persuaded that public libraries are a good thing when you watch dozens of toddlers and their parents wandering in and amusing themselves in a constructive way, and none of it costing them a dime.

Before and after Story Time, there was time to hang out in the children’s section, picking over books for them to borrow, keeping an eye out for stories that were too scary (which doesn’t necessarily mean ones with alligators in them), or too earnest, or too long, or too precious, or too much aimed at pleasing grown-ups.

CHARLES GORDON Here is another reason to thankful for public libraries.

If you know children who like books, you know that they like a lot of books. They may like to go back to the same ones again and again, but they also like new books, many of them, and you would rapidly go broke buying them all. So the library is vital here.

To run a children’s program well, a library doesn’t need to be grand. This is not to say that a brand new fancy library in downtown Ottawa wouldn’t be great. It would be and should be.

Anyone who has seen how Vancouver’s public library adorns the city’s downtown knows how truly cool, not to mention useful, a library can be.

But in building the big down-

town library, it would wrong to neglect the suburban branches.

Those are the ones that are full of little kids on the days of Story Time. The buildings may be more modest, the facilities less than sumptuous. But they are close to where people live and they get used. They need to be kept open, and perhaps be kept open more days and more hours than they are now.

For one thing, this would give children an opportunity to see librarians in action, and notice what heroes they are. As anyone with children or grandchildren knows, the heroes and heroines of children’s books are usually bears, turtles, monkeys, dinosaurs or trucks, not librarians. On the rare occasion when heroes and heroines are human, they are mostly children, which is fair enough, or fire fighters, which is always good.

Sometimes the stars of children’s books are knights who go around slaying dragons, which seems a little violent, not to mention archaic in the

Internet age. Nowadays if you wanted to slay a dragon, you’d just pose an unflattering picture (and most dragon pictures are) on its Facebook page.

Relevance in children’s literature is what we need. True, farmers get to be in children’s books, which is well-deserved.

But we need to see more librarians on those large pages.

Sharp-eyed readers may recall that there is indeed an heroic librarian in the book Library Lion, but she mostly takes second-billing to a lion.

Books make a big impression on young readers and listeners. That’s why there should be

social workers at the centre of those books, and missionaries and researchers and statisticians. And writers too. Yes. None of these people slay dragons or find buried treasure or save Christmas, but they lead interesting and useful lives and who’s to say that they don’t deserve to be in picture books.

Those of you who are public servants know the kind of quiet heroism the work entails.

The trick is to find enticing story lines with words that are not too big. The library needs more public servants in picture books. Also teachers who are not owls.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa At last Wednesday’s special Council meeting, Mayor Jin Watson unveiled the 2011 draft budget that proposed a tax increase of 2.45 per cent that is just below the original 2.5 per cent proposal.

Draft Budget 2011 recommends a tax increase of 2.45% for urban homeowners and commercial properties and 2.4% in rural areas. The average urban home will see an increase of $75 this year for City services – this is considerably less than the average urban tax increase for the last few years: $135 in 2008; $166 in 2009; $125 in 2010; and, $75 in 2011.

The Ottawa Public Library Board and the Ottawa Police Services Board have also tabled budgets in line with 2.5%.

The total tax-supported 2011 budget is $2.4 billion in operating spending and $622 million in new capital spending.

Several highlights include: freezing of recreation fees for activities for the first time since amalgamation; provisions to expand the free transit period for seniors from Wednesdays only to include Mondays and Fridays after 12 noon; $2.8 million per year for new cycling initiatives across the City; 22 front line paramedics with two new, fully equipped ambulances and two new technicians to keep the ambulances on the streets; 45 new firefighters to staff two new fire stations; $161 million towards projects and programs to improve and streamline the bus system; 74 new bus drivers to improve service and reduce overtime and advances key initiatives including the Ottawa River Action Plan, Light Rail and Lansdowne redevelopment.

Now that we the draft budget is revealed, we need the say of Ottawa residents. This budget will not be able to go through without hearing from the public. Your input is crucial and I am urging residents to attend one or all of the scheduled

Upgrading Legion Hall BARB VANT’SLOT Special to the News

Legion members Ron Currie, Dave Cashman, Dave Poaps and David Albert got together with Tom Albert recently and tiled the entrance to the Legion Hall, working over two weekends. The bar area will be done next.

The new lighting in the hall, installed

by Norm Fortin and paid for by the Survivors Club, makes the hall brighter and much more attractive for functions other than darts. Hall rentals are expected

to rise because of these major improvements to the appearance of the hall.

An electric fireplace and new lighting in the downstairs lounge has made that area much cozier and warm.

LEGION TIDBITS Veronica Scott has joined the Legion family as she is one of our volunteer bartenders.

President Ron Currie and his wife Bev have taken up snowshoeing and both are rather sore these days. However, in a few weeks, they should be expert snowshoers.

The times for all these consultations are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The agenda for each consultation is as follows: A welcome by senior City staff representative followed by the Mayor’s opening remarks. There will also be Finance presentation and a Q&A moderated by senior City staff representative. Hard copies of the Budgetat-a-Glance and Finance presentation will be available for distribution.

Congratulations and thank you I would to congratulate all the winners and all those who submitted work for the Legion’s annual Remembrance Day artistic contest. Whether it was a poem, poster or an essay, I had a chance to see all the pieces and they were all impressive.

I would also like to congratulate the Legion and thank them for organizing such a wonderful competition that keeps our youth engaged and appreciative of what our Canadian soldiers have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice to protect this country and its citizens. They are truly the heroes of the world.

I would also like to show appreciation to Pat Graham, who was honoured for over 10 years of services working with youth in our community. Without your guidance and support, they wouldn’t have an

appreciation for this country and Canadian soldiers.

I would also like to thank the Legion for presenting me with a certificate of appreciation. The legion is important to our community and I will also be a big supporter of what it does for Stittsville.

Residential Solid Waste Service Level Review My office has been receiving many calls and e-mails regarding the City’s Service Level Review (SLR) of its residential solid waste collection program (garbage and recycling) before it renews or renegotiates its waste collection contracts. Curb-side pickup services and different options for blue and black box recyclable material will be part of this review.

There have been a series of public consultations with two more remaining.

If you have not attended any of the public consultations I am encoruaging you to do so. For a list of remaining public consultations, follow this link: http://www.ottawa.ca/residents/recycling_garbage/waste_slr/consultations_en.html.

The City’s goal is three fold: Service Levels: The City wants to work with you to find an ideal service level. How can the City improve the way garbage and recycling is collected? How can the City make it easier for you to manage the waste in your home?

Diversion: The City wants to reduce the amount of garbage heading to our landfill sites.. This will mitigate the need for more landfills and help ensure a more sustainable future for the city and for the next generation.

Cost Savings: The City wants to reduce the burden on ratepayers. Our goal is to provide a more cost effective waste collection system that provides you with the service you want.

Next steps The current discussions are the first step in a two step process. First, the City is seeking your input on Service Levels. The City wants to know what will make it easier for you to dispose of waste, from garbage to plastic and paper recyclables to organics. The City is asking if you are satisfied with the current standards, or if there are other options that you would like us to consider.]

The second step in the process will be based on the input the City receives from you and other residents. Using that feedback, the City will provide options for council to review and for future public consultations in the spring.

This will include more detailed information on how each option meets the long-term goals of cost savings and waste diversion.

Nothing has yet been decided. So have your say. To view what is being proposed, please follow this link: http:// www.ottawa.ca/residents/recycling_ garbage/waste_slr/options_en.html.

Residents can also provide feedback by sending comments, no later than 4 pm Friday, February 4, 2011, by e-mail to wastereview@ottawa.ca or by mail to:Lyndell Coates, 951 Clyde Ave., Ottawa, ON, K1Z 5A6 Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can improve Stittsville.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The Richmond Legion Hall became a little piece of Scotland last Saturday eve-

ning, Jan. 22.

It happened as a Robbie Burns Dinner was held, hosted by the Richmond Legion Branch 625.

There was the flag of Scotland dis-

played on the stage for a time, courtesy of Kay Harrison. There was the presence of Scotland’s national dish, haggis.

There was the recitation of “Address To A Haggis,” the famous poem written by Robbie Burns himself that is regulated said during celebrations around the world wherever haggis is on the menu.

There were napkins with Robbie Burns’ picture on them, along with the dates of his life (1759-1796), with the famous Selkirk Grace on the back of them. There were little pieces of paper red tartan, here and there on the tables. There were young Scottish and highland dancers who performed for the 75 or so in attendance. And Scottish music, albeit recorded, filled the hall as these nine youthful dancers entertained.

No wonder everyone in attendance was either proud to be Scottish and was wishing that they were Scottish on this most glorious of nights in the Scottish world.

Everyone in attendance not only got to enjoy a roast beef dinner but also had the opportunity to enjoy a taste of haggis itself.

Haggis, traditionally, contains a sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt. Whether this haggis served at the Richmond Legion was totally true to tradition is uncertain but it certainly passed the taste test for those who tried it.

“Address To A Haggis” was written

by Robbie Burns as a poem celebrating

Scotland and all things Scottish. It might seem unusual to reflect such patriotism through a poem about a dish like haggis but this was Robbie Burns and, indeed, Robbie Burns at his best.

The young dancers, wearing tartan skirts, performed a number of Scottish dances such as a four step highland fling.

Recorded Scottish music accompanied them, filling the hall with the sounds of Scotland.

The dancers, from a Manotick dance studio, came from all around, living in such locations as Barrhaven, Arnprior and Osgoode.

These dancers are busy these days, not only performing at the Richmond Legion’s Robbie Burns Dinner for the third straight year but also preparing for upcoming dance examinations and competitions.

Robbie Burns Dinners are usually held around or on Jan. 25 which is the birthday of Robbie Burns, who is considered the national poet of Scotland.

The Selkirk Grace, although attributed at times to Robbie Burns, was already known by other names in the 17th century. It came to be called the Selkirk Grace because Robbie Burns was said to have delivered it at a dinner given by the Earl of Selkirk.The Grace reads as follows: “Some hae meat, and canna eat/And some wad eat that want it;/ But we hae meat, and we can eat,/ And sae the Lord be thankit.”

Rams capture Capital Winter Classic Tournament SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Three tournaments so far this season.

And three championships. The Stittsville Rams Minor Bantam B’s are on a roll.

The latest of these tournament wins came in the recent 7th annual Capital Winter Classic Tournament at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata where the Stittsville Rams won the minor bantam championship banner.

The Rams began the tournament with a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Sting and followed up this victory with a 7-1 win over the Cumberland Junior Grads.

A 4-4 tie against the Metcalfe-Russell River Rats meant that the Rams finished preliminary round play undefeated, with

two wins and a tie.

The Rams advanced to the tournament’s playoff round, shutting out Ottawa West by a 6-0 count, earning them a trip to the championship final against Nepean.

Just 49 seconds into the second period, Will Robertson scored for the Rams on a power play, assisted by Cory Scholtz and Jack Haunts.

This proved to be the winning goal of the game as the Rams won by a 1-0 score, taking not only the game but also the tournament championship.

With three tournament victories now under the belts, the Rams are looking forward to playing in the upcoming North York Tournament.

Huskies suffer first defeat SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Sacred Heart High School Huskies are no longer working on an undefeated season in the senior boys’ tier 1 basketball league.

The Huskies fell 48-46 to the Sir Robert Borden High School Bengals on Monday, Jan. 17 in a game at Sir Robert Borden in Nepean to loss their undefeated status.

This was the Huskies first loss of the season after six straight victories.

But the Huskies quickly got back to their winning ways, as two days after this loss, they took to the court at the Huskydome at Sacred Heart against the St. Joseph High School squad and soared to a 71-49 victory, the team’s seventh of the season.

The Huskies are now off until Monday, Feb. 7 due to exams at the school.

Going into this examination break, the Huskies are tied atop the eight-team West Division standings with a record of seven wins and only the one loss. Two other teams, All Saints High School and Sir Robert Borden High School, have similar records of seven wins and one loss.

The Huskies are the highest scoring team not only in the West Division but among the whole 15 teams in the tier 1 league, having scored 512 points in their eight games to date. St. Patrick’s High School, the East Division leaders with a similar record of seven wins and only one loss, have scored 509 points.

The Huskies are also among the leaders in defensive play, having allowed only 330 points in their eight games. This is the best in the West Division, although two teams have given up fewer points. St. Matthew High School has allowed only 314 points, albeit in only five games, while All Saints High School has surrendered 329 points, one less than the Huskies, also in eight games.

In the high school senior boys’ tier 2 basketball league, the South Carleton High School Storm are sitting in the middle of the 11-team West Division pack with a record of five wins and three losses in eight games. The Storm have scored 472 points in these eight games while allowing 463 points. The Storm lost by the closest of margins, one point, 51-50, to the St. Mark High School Lions on Monday, Jan. 17.

This was the Storm’s last game until after the examination break.

Three open houses about landfill proposal, more to come JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The first three of an expected 15 open houses about a new landfill proposed by Waste Management for its Carp Road site happened last week.

The open houses, providing an overview of the proposed project, were held in Carp, Kanata and Stittsville. The Stittsville one, at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street on Thursday, Jan. 20, attracted 130 people. This was more than the combined total at the other two

sites, as 57 attended the Carp open house and 45 were at the Kanata open house.

There will continue to be three similar open houses at each step of the consultation process, adding up to the total of 15 open houses. Each step in the consultation process will also have a workshop.

The workshop being held in conjunction with the first step in the consultation process, namely an overview of the proposed project confirming the existing conditions, will be taking place probably in the third week of February.

The second step in the consultation process will be identifying and developing alternative landfill footprints. There are two landfill footprints envelopes which have been identified, namely one north of the existing landfill site and one west of it.

The third step in the consultation process will involve a comparative evaluation of the landfill footprint options as well as will involve input on the proposed waste diversion, environmental and community recreational facilities for the Carp Road site.

The fourth step in the consultation process is to involve reporting on a detailed impact assessment of the preferred landfill footprint option. This will include the new landfill’s siting, safeguards, construction and operation.

The fifth and final step in the consultation process will see the presentation of a draft Environmental Assessment report.

Comments will be invited and assessed before the report is send to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Once the report is submitted to the Ministry, the public will still be able to provide comments directly to the Ministry.

It is the Ministry of the Environment which will review the Environmental Assessment report and make a decision on the matter.

Ross Wallace, facility manager of the Carp Road site, is hoping that members of the public turn out for the various open houses and workshops and provide input about the proposed new landfill site. He said at the open house in Stittsville that if the whole consultation process takes two years to complete, then that’s what it will take and Waste Management will follow the process.

While Ministry of Environment approval is required for the proposed new 6.5 million cubic metre landfill site and

its leachate treatment, there may be other approvals required as Waste Management tries to develop a comprehensive, integrated multi-purpose waste management facility at the site. This could include a material recycling facility, a construction and demolition recycling facility, an organics processing facility, a residential diversion facility, a landfill gas to energy facility generating six megawatts of electricity and an electronic waste handling facility. Some of these may require approvals such as under the Ontario Environmental Protection Act, the Environmental Bill of Rights or the city of Ottawa’s Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw. As far as the existing landfill site is concerned, Waste Management expects that it will be closed by mid-summer this year. However, Waste Management will still have a presence at the site since electricity will be generated and the site will have to be continually monitored.

A closure plan for the current landfill site will require ongoing monitoring of the ground water, the surface water and landfill gases. Waste Management will have to submit an annual report to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment about this.

City of Ottawa councillors Shad Qadri, Eli El-Chantiry and Scott Moffatt all visited the open house in Stittsville on Thursday, Jan. 20.

The open house consisted of a series of information boards about the proposed project, set up around the perimeter of the hall. Representatives of Waste Management were present to respond to any inquiries or questions and to provide clarification of any information.

There were two tables set up in the middle of the hall at which people could gather and develop their comments.

The open house also had on display an example of the perforated leachate collector pipe that could be used for the proposed new landfill. There also was on display an example of the 1.5 mm landfill liner that could be used for the proposed new landfill.

Waste Management claims that up to 75 new so-called “green” jobs will be created by the development of this new West Carleton Environmental Centre.

Waste Management is also emphasizing the wildlife habitat available on its Carp Road site and also the possibility of the development of sports fields at the site.

From page 13 And the Ice Tigers did it in a way that Tony would say is “gr..rr..rr...eat.” The Ice Tigers won the tournament by beating the tournament’s only undefeated team in the championship game. It was an especially great win because the Ice Tigers had been beaten by this team earlier in the round robin portion of the tournament.

The Ice Tigers themselves had a record of two wins and a loss in the round robin portion of the tournament, losing only to the Russell Coyotes.

On the Sunday of the tournament, the Ice Tigers defeated the Kanata Novice 4 team in semi-final action to advance to the finals against, who else, but the Russell Coyotes, the tournament’s only unde-

feated team at that point.

The Ice Tigers played hard and, lo and behold, came out with a 3-2 win and the tournament championship.

Player of the game awards during the tournament went to Ice Tiger players Courtney Neilson, Leah Fitzsimmons and Keon Smith.

The Kanata Girls Hockey Association Novice 1 Ice Tigers are sponsored

by Stittsville Main Street Physiotherapy and Boomerang Kids.

Kanata Girls Hockey Association teams like the Ice Tigers draw their players from the Stittsville/Goulbourn area as well as from Kanata and West Carleton.

The Kanata Girls Hockey Association has about 700 players, playing on over 40 teams.

tive technologies for waste disposal. He also noted that industry does not divert enough of its waste from landfills.

He did note that Environmental Assessments for landfills do take a number of years, adding that lots can happen in that time frame with regard to landfills and the various levels of government.

Mr. Akgun also noted that the SVA has applied for funding from the city of Ottawa to help it with its fight against the landfill site expansion. The city has allocated $75,000 which will be distributed to various community groups involved in the landfill site expansion process.

“Is this a lost cause,” asked SVA director Christine Hartig, wondering if it were all a done deal.

She agreed that the SVA should not walk away from the issue but that the SVA should have a rationale for fighting the matter.

SVA director David Fairbrother noted that expansion of the landfill site is a provincial matter.

The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has reaffirmed its opposition to the proposed expansion of the Carp Road landfill site.

At its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 20, the SVA executive approved a motion stating the SVA’s continuing opposition to the expansion of the Carp Road landfill site. Waste Management, operators of the landfill site, have entered into an Environmental Assessment process regarding a proposed landfill expansion. In fact, on the same night that the SVA executive was passing its motion, Waste Management was hosting an open house in Stittsville about the proposed landfill site expansion.

The SVA executive passed its motion of opposition to the proposed landfill site expansion after discussion of the matter and whether the SVA should continue its fight against the landfill site expansion.

Back in 2006, when the landfill site expansion first came up, the SVA was one of several local groups which formed a coalition

to oppose the proposal which was eventually withdrawn by Waste Management.

SVA immediate past president Metin Akgun, who led the SVA’s opposition the last time, noted that whereas the last time the landfill site was smelling and not meeting the conditions of its provincial approval, now the existing site has been cleaned up, eliminating this as a reason not to approve any expansion.

He noted that the Terms of Reference for the Environmental Assessment now being done for the expansion is limited to examining to possible locations for a new landfill on the site.

There will be no examination of alternative technologies or of other sites.

He expressed the belief that in his view Waste Management will be able to eventually get its provincial approval for the expansion unless some big issue comes up in the Environmental Assessment.

“It may be a lost cause but we should not throw in the towel,” he said.

Mr. Akgun said that the province should eliminate the use of landfills and promote alterna-

LAURA MUELLER

The city of Ottawa won’t be getting 23 new officers – or a planned Ottawa South police station – in order to reduce tax increases.

The police service was forced to chop $6.1 million from its planned 2011 budget, with $2.9 million of that coming from the elimination of new spending that was expected this year.

The cuts were made to line up with city council’s orders to limit budget and tax increases to 2.5 per cent.

The police service will actually spend $9 million more this year than last year, but

it’s less than the force was hoping to have in its coffers.

Cutting 23 new police officer positions will save $800,000 this year.

The only new spending item that remains in the 2011 budget is additional training, but that expenditure was slashed almost in half, from $250,000 to $150,000.

Trimming the budget also means that the planned Ottawa South police station near the Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge will be put off indefinitely – it won’t be looked at again until after 2014.

The new station was intended to serve the growing south-end communities of Barrhaven, Barrhaven South,

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Stonebridge, Riverside South and Manotick. “It concerns me a great deal,� said Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder. She asked the police chief to report back on how the situation would be handled. “First and foremost he is going to make sure our city is safe. He’s going to take care to have his officers in the right place,� Harder said.

She said that policing isn’t necessarily about the buildings, it is about the officers that are posted in the community.

Residents can weigh in on the draft police budget Feb. 28 at 4 p.m. in the Champlain Room at city hall.

It’s two meetings in one, really, and a good place to be if you are interested in the Richmond community.

It is all happening on Tuesday, Feb. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond when the Richmond Village Association (RVA) is holding its annual general meeting as well as a regular monthly meeting. And while the annual general meeting at the beginning will only be dealing with re-electing and electing directors to sit on the RVA executive and the RVA’s year end financials, the ensuing monthly meeting will deal with a host of matters.

These will range from garbage collection to youth activities to walking paths to Neighbourhood Watch to the annual village-wide garage

sale to the annual garden contest to parking issues on Colonel Murray Street to the recent Richmond Road Race. And this is not everything. So, there’s going to be a lot discussed and it should be an interesting evening.

The garbage collection discussion will be part of the ongoing public consultations which the city of Ottawa is now undertaking in association with its residential solid waste service level review. This will deal with all of the issues which are being talked about lately, such as the frequency of blue, green and black box recycling as well as the frequency of garbage collection itself.

Everyone is most welcome to attend this meeting, both to listen to the discussions and also to provide input on the waste collection review being undertaken now by the city of Ottawa.

What’s up at Richmond Legion Congratulations to the team of Mavis Lewis, Gerry Gauthier, Hilda Moore and Joyce Forbes who finished third out of 21 teams at the zone cribbage tournament. They will now go on to compete for the Richmond branch at the district level.

Mavis Lewis has one euchre team signed up to play in the upcoming zone tournament at the Montgomery branch in Ottawa.

She is looking for more players to make up a second team.

Anyone wanting to play who is a Richmond Legion member should give Mavis a call at 613838-2749.

Condolences to the family of

John and Evelyn Pickett, both longtime Legion comrades, who both passed away recently.

The Valentine Dinner at the Richmond Legion will be held on Saturday, February 19 at 6 p.m.

Tickets are just $15 each. Please call Mavis Lewis at 613-838-2749 to reserve yours.

Please note that the weekday coffee mornings will be cancelled on Feb. 1, 10, 17 and 24.

Regular weekly activities at the Legion Hall include exercise on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.; coffee on weekdays at 10 a.m.; euchre on Fridays at 1:30 p.m.; and the card game “500� on Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend any of these activities.

Winter Book Sale is low cost solution SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

There’s nothing like sitting down with a good book on a cold winter’s night and reading the evening away. But this also means that your personal collection of books to read might be getting a little low, especially with so much cold weather of late.

But, take heart, there is a solution and a low cost one at that.

It’s an upcoming Winter Book Sale being held by “A Good Read,” the used book store located at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

Dr. Corrine Motluk

Dr. Alan Franzmann

Books from “A Good Read’ are great buys at any time but at this Winter Book Sale, all of the prices will be slashed in half. What a deal!

How great a deal?

Well, the regular prices at “A Good Read” are $1 for adult pocket books, $2 for trade size and hard cover books and 50 cents to $1 for children’s, teen and preteen books. So, a half price sale of these prices makes book buying extremely, extremely affordable.

And, as a further benefit, all of the proceeds from this Winter Book Sale, as with all proceeds from the operation

Ensuring the best environment for elderly patients Nicolas Ruszkowski Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital

Ottawa, January 24, 2011 My first ski instructor was Fernand Bonnevie. I saw him at Christmas. He is 96.

He doesn’t ski anymore. Even walking is too difficult.

He gets 24-7 care from a live-in caregiver (his wife died years ago), children and grandchildren. Not in a hospital or long-term care setting, but from his old house in the alpine village of Val d’Isère.

Does it complicate things? To an extent, yes.

He doesn’t benefit from doctors conducting complex procedures to make it easier for him to walk.

Would he prefer a long-term care space? Not a chance. From his house, he uses binoculars to spy on an Alpine Ibex who is also struggling with old age. He worries about the Ibex, but cherishes his ability to relate to the world outside.

Between advanced but invasive care and quality of life, Fernand chooses quality of life, surrounded by the nature and people he loves.

The choice raises important questions for all health providers who care for the elderly.

Are acute care hospitals a good setting for people like Fernand? Is there a better way?

A consensus is emerging between hospitals, community healthcare providers, caregivers and care coordinators such as the Community Care Access Network: once they have treated seniors, acute care hospitals are not well suited to providing them the comfort, dignity and quality of life they should expect.

Home, where patients can enjoy the independence from which so much of their dignity derives, along with the company of loved ones, is better.

That is why our social workers – along with our leadership and a host of other health professionals – are working with the Community Care Access Network, the Local Health Integration network and other partners in health to implement Home First.

Home First is a new approach to care that immediately starts the discussion, upon admission to hospital, about the best place and options available to patients and families after discharge.

The approach puts every stakeholder in the system on the same page, seeking ways to reintegrate elderly patients into the community as promptly, compassionately and safely as possible. To find out more, visit http://champlainlihin.on.ca 446012

of “A Good Read,” which is run by volunteers, will end up going to help buy equipment and furniture for the public libraries in the Goulbourn-Rideau area, namely the Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Manotick and North Gower branch libraries of the Ottawa Public Library.

And don’t dismiss this fundraising as inconsequential. Last year, “A Good Read” raised a total of $11,688 from its regular operations and its special book sales.

This Winter Book Sale on Saturday, Feb. 12 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the first sale of 2011 being held by “A Good Read,”

so selection should be good.

“A Good Read” is hoping for a good turnout at this Winter Book Sale as it aims to surpass last year’s total of $11,688 in its fundraising efforts in 2011. Robust book sales at this opening book sale of the year will get this fundraising off to a great start.

“A Good Read” is open whenever the Stittsville library branch is open. You can browse through its shelves and purchase books at any time. The books on sale include fiction, non-fiction, cook books, crafts, sports, biographies and current magazines.

Wondering about Waldorf?

Plan to attend open house SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Do you wonder about what a Waldorf education is all about?

Well, a perfect opportunity to find out more is to attend an open house that is being held at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville on Wednesday, Feb. 9 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

The Ottawa Waldorf School is located at 1 Goulbourn Street which can be reached off Stittsville Main Street via Elm Crescent. It can also be accessed from the municipal parking lot on the west side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Abbott Street.

This open house will give visitors a chance to meet the teachers, see examples of the students’ work and to ask any questions about the Waldorf approach to education.

This is a great opportunity to see what a Waldorf education can offer a child.

The Ottawa Waldorf School offers programs for parent and infant, parent and child and kindergarten through grade eight.

For more information, please phone the Ottawa Waldorf School at 613-8361547.

For the Waldorf student, music, dance, theatre, writing, literature

and other subjects are not simply subjects to be read about but are things to be experienced. Through these experiences, Waldorf students cultivate a lifelong love of learning as well as the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual capacities to be individuals of service to the world.

Developed by Rudolf Steiner in 1919, Waldorf education is based on an understanding of human development that addresses the needs of the growing child.

Waldorf teachers strive to transform education into an art that educates the whole child.

Skill or luck leads to most lone hands SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Sylvia Yates and George Murphy both were getting the cards at the four-hand euchre party at the Richmond Curling Club lounge on Monday, Jan. 17, hosted by the Richmond Agricultural Society.

Now Sylvia and George might tell you that it was skill, not the luck of the cards, that saw them have the most lone hands on the night. You be the judge.

Also having a good night at the Jan. 17

euchre party were Edna McKay, Dot Gifford, Heather Murphy, Clare Porter, Garnet Vaughn and Keith Lackey, who were the high score winners for the evening.

Not going home empty handed thanks to their “Share the Wealth” wins were Joanne Lackie, Heather Murphy and Christine Moore.

The Richmond Agricultural Society is hosting a series of four-hand euchre parties every Monday at 7:30 p.m. through to Monday, March 21. Everyone is welcome.

SVA against landfill expansion

From page 18

He noted that the people making the rules for the landfill expansion are provincial officials.

SVA director Theresa Qadri noted that the province has approved a new incinerator in the Durham region, indicating that the province does not want new landfills.

She urged that the SVA continue to oppose the landfill expansion.

“Never give up something you believe in,” she said.

SVA president Marilyn Jenkins agreed that the SVA needed to examine its tactics for opposing the landfill site expansion and that while it may be a done deal, the SVA has to be concerned about the future.

This future was outlined by Mr. Akgun who noted that while the new landfill will sit on liners, there is no guarantee that the liners will contain the toxins and other chemicals for the next 100 or 200 years.

He noted that some of these chemicals do eat away at the liner which could lead to leaking later on.

WAGJAG (w-a-g•j-a-g)1 - (noun): an incredible deal available only if a group indulges together in a collective spree. 2 - (verb): the act of buying a wagjag with unrestrained excitement or rapidly and repeatedly sharing wagjags with uninhibited exuberance.

Buy together and we all win!

How does WagJag work?

2 3

Consumers spread the word through email, Facebook, Twitter and word of mouth to encourage others to buy into the deal...or they may not get it.

Once the deal is on businesses get an influx of new customers in a risk-free, cost-free alternative to conventional advertising.

Why you should consider marketing through WagJag. RISK FREE WagJag offers activate only if minimum met; if it is not met you still get the free advertising plus a $100 advertising credit.

NO OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES We only get paid for success. We charge commission on the incremental revenue we generate for you.

GUARANTEED VOLUME & REVENUE By setting a minimum you are guaranteed a certain amount of volume and corresponding revenue.

NEW CUSTOMERS WagJag brings in new customers that you can up-sell and turn into repeat customers.

GET PAID QUICKLY We pay you quickly once the deal is complete even though you provide the goods or services later. You can choose between an agreed upon commission or 1.5x the commission value in advertising credits. A great way to extend the bene?ts of WagJagging!

MARKET THROUGH SOCIAL NETWORKS Users are encouraged to share and discuss your business online; through our website and social media networks (Facebook,Twitter etc.) WagJag empowers users to recruit their friends to your business – “word of mouth” made easy!

MEASURABLE RESULTS You will know exactly how many new customers you get, who they are and when they return.

FEATURED PROMINENTLY & EXCLUSIVELY Your business is featured by itself on our homepage for the duration of the offer – you get the entire page! We design an attractive feature and write a fun, catchy editorial that is optimized for search engines.
