$2,200 for Food Bank from raffle at Scotiabank John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - In the past, it has been a gift basket filled with items. This year, for a difference, Scotiabank in Stittsville made the prize in
its annual fundraising Christmas raffle in support of the Stittsville Food Bank everything under and beside a Christmas tree set up in the bank. But to be even more unique, the winner would receive not only all of the items around the Christmas tree
but the Christmas tree as well. And even more, the winner would receive all of the decorations on the tree too! And that winner was Norma Davies who purchased three tickets in the draw but admits that at the time of purchase she did not look all that
closely at the prize items spread around tree. But after receiving the call from branch manager Tricia Brydges that she was the winner in the annual Christmas raffle, she took a closer look. And what she saw included a 32 inch LED TV, a cell phone, binoculars, a coffee brewing system, a toy garage, a screwdriver and lots more. Scotiabank had such
a variety and plethora of items available for this year’s raffle, valued at around $1,800 in total, thanks in part to the generosity of several local businesses who readily donated to the raffle. These were Shoppers Drug Mart, Mahogany Spa and Playvalue Toys. This year’s Christmas raffle at Scotiabank raised a total of $2,200 for the Stittsville Food Bank.

Moore Chiropractic donates money, food items to Food Bank John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Moore Chiropractic Health Centre of Stittsville has supported the Stittsville Food Bank.
It came in the form of both an assortment of non-perishable food items and a monetary donation. Dr. Jim Moore and Dr. Craig Deprez of the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre delivered the food items and money to the Food Bank on Monday morning, Dec. 23.
The non-perishable food items came from items donated by Moore Chiropractic Health Centre patients who had been notified of the Food Bank drive and generously supported it. The $420 in funds turned over to the Food Bank came from a portion of the fees paid by new patients in the month of December. The Stittsville Food Bank is in constant need of non-perishable food items to provide to its clients as well as funds so that it can purchase on a weekly basis perishable items such as hamburger meat and vegetables for its clients. The Stittsville Food Bank provides food to
those less fortunate in the Stittsville and Ashton areas. At Christmas time, it provides Christmas hampers to the less fortunate in the community. This year the Food Bank provided about 100 gift baskets for people and families in the community. The Moore Chiropractic Health Centre, which is located on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, provides chiropractic wellness care to patients. This involves the use of hands-on healing techniques which assist a person’s spine, nervous system and body to heal itself naturally.

Retired Colonel gets 67’s Remembrance jersey John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Shawville, Stittsville and Kemptville all came together to play a role in ensuring that a decorated retired Colonel and longtime Ottawa 67’s fan got one of the team’s specially designed and game-worn Remembrance jerseys. It took great generosity on the part of a family from Shawville that is also an avid Ottawa 67’s supporter along with coordination from the Stittsville Legion to ensure that Colonel (Retired) Mark Roberts of Kemptville obtained one of the 29 game worn 67’s jerseys to frame and include in a prominent spot among the many mementos of his military career at his home. And what a military career this air force Colonel had, serving seven tours of duty. Colonel Roberts grew up attending Ottawa 67’s games with his father and he continues to attend 67’s games today, so the 67’s mean a lot to him. This specially designed jersey, approved by the Royal Canadian Legion, the Ontario Hockey League and the 67’s, features the Ottawa 67’s crest, the Royal Canadian Legion crest, an Ontario Hockey League marking and the Department of National Defense crest, as well as the Remembrance phrase “Lest We Forget” and a Remembrance scene silhouette. These jerseys, which were worn in two games by the Ottawa 67’s, were auctioned off in a fundraising online auction recently, coordinated by the Stittsville Legion, with over $4,000 raised. However, Colonel Roberts was not aware of the online auction until after it was over. He inquired but there were no jerseys left over. They had all been snatched up, although there had been two left over before one was purchased and another bought by Doug Besharah of Shawville who had purchased two other jerseys in the online auction. Last year, in the first such online auction of Ottawa 67’s Remembrance jerseys held by the Stittsville Legion, Doug Besharah purchased four of the jerseys. When Doug Besharah, who is in the army reserves, heard that Colonel Roberts was seeking one of the jerseys, he offered one of the jerseys that he had acquired. And he not only offered it

The Doug Besharah family of Shawville donated the jersey to Colonel Roberts, an Ottawa 67’s fan, after obtaining it in the recent Ottawa 67’s Remembrance jersey online auction held by the Stittsville Legion. but he offered to donate the $200 jersey to the Colonel out of respect for his military service. The only proviso was that his 11 year old son Rayden was to be given the opportunity for formally present the jersey to Colonel Roberts.

This is where Christine Philipson of the Stittsville Legion, who organized the online auction, came into the picture again, setting up a presentation of the jersey at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Saturday, Dec. 14.
Doug Besharah, his wife Tanya Greer and their son Rayden arrived from Shawville while Colonel Roberts, his wife Beth and children Liam, 12, and Emma, 10 came from Kemptville where Colonel Roberts lives and is a member of the Kemptville Legion. He has been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion since 1984 when he joined when posted at Sioux Lookout in northwestern Ontario. At the brief ceremony, Colonel Roberts admitted that seeing the jersey with its 67’s logo as well as its Legion and Remembrance symbols gave him reason to pause, especially when he thought of those with whom he served who lost their lives. Stittsville Legion president Fred Appel and Stittsville Legion vice-president and sergeantat-arms Bob Steadman were both on hand for the presentation ceremony. Colonel Roberts will be framing the Ottawa 67’s Remembrance jersey along with a couple of photos taken at the presentation ceremony. It will have a prominent place in his house. This was the second year that the Stittsville Legion held an online auction sale of specially designed, approved and game worn Ottawa 67’s Remembrance jerseys. The Stittsville Legion got to organize and benefit from the auction because the Ottawa 67’s have been playing their home games at the Canadian Tire Centre both last season and this season. The Kanata Legion Branch in whose area the Canadian Tire Centre is located opted not to conduct the online auction, giving the opportunity to the Stittsville Legion to do it The Stittsville Legion may not have the opportunity to do it next season as the Ottawa 67’s are moving back to the Ottawa Civic Centre. It would be the Montgomery Legion, whose area covers the Ottawa Civic Centre, which will have the opportunity to conduct the online Remembrance jersey auction in the fall of 2014. However, Christine Philipson is now working on the possibility of convincing the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League to have a Remembrance jersey in the fall. The jerseys could then be auctioned off in an online auction as a fundraiser, just like with the Ottawa 67’s jerseys.
The Stittsville Royals of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League are hosting the Shawville Pontiacs on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville.

Ladies Chorus is welcoming new singers John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - If a New Year’s resolution of yours is to pursue or to continue a dream of singing, then you might want to know that the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is welcoming new singers to its group. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is a chorus of women who have choral experience, love to sing three and four part music, like to have fun and enjoy performing in public when possible. The Chorus just recently held a Christmas concert which drew a capacity audience to St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata. The Chorus is led by music director Robert Dueck with Bonnie MacDiarmid as the group’s accompanist. The goal of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is to give the community the gift of music at specific times of the year, namely around Christmas and again in the spring. The group rehearses in blocks of time lasting about 10 to 12 weeks leading up to each concert performance. To save weeks of rehearsals learning notes, assigned music binders are distributed in advance of each music term with the requirement that members become familiar with the music prior to the first rehearsal for the term. Mp3 files are also made available to members to assist with learning the music.
Rehearsals are offered twice a week with members welcome to attend both but asked to commit to attend at least one of them. The rehearsals for the spring concert start at the beginning of February. They will take place on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Empress Kanata Retirement Residence on McGibbon Drive in Kanata, running each Sunday through to April 30. The rehearsals will also take place on Wednesdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Kanata Baptist Church on Hazeldean Road in Kanata, starting on Wednesday, Feb. 5 and running through until April 23. All of these rehearsals will culminate in the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ spring concert on Saturday, April 26 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. There is a cost to belonging to the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus as members are expected to pay $60 to cover the cost of buying music, obtaining rehearsal space and paying an honorarium to the director and accompanist for the term. In addition to the spring concert, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be taking advantage of various singout performance opportunities such as those at retirement homes and at fundraising events. New singers with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus are asked to spend some rehearsal time with director Robert Dueck so that he can ascer-
tain voice range, voice part and choral fit. Membership in the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus rests on the decision
of the music director following a six week probation period. For more information about the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the
singing opportunities which it provides, please contact music director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or via email at ladieschorus@bell.net .

Looking back, looking forward
T
he year 2013 brought some important news to Ottawa. Light-rail is now underway although it will take many years before we get to ride the rails. After so many years of stops and starts, getting the project started for real is a major accomplishment. The redevelopment of Lansdowne Park will be completed much sooner, so we have that to look forward to in 2014. The RedBlacks start play on a brand new field this summer and the Ottawa Fury will kick off pro soccer at Lansdowne too. That’s good for everyone – not just sports fans – because sports bring fans into the city on a regular basis and they spend money on accommodations and entertainment. It may be too much to wish for the Senators to win a Stanley Cup this spring given their current form, but there’s no doubt that with a little more experience the team could be good to challenge for the Cup in 2015 and for years to come. For political junkies, we’ll have a municipal election in 2014 and a provincial election is a real possibility. There’s a possible trifecta in the offing if Stephen Harper decides to go to the polls too. Our wish list for 2014 includes a temperate
winter, with days and evenings just right for a skate down the Rideau Canal. An early spring would be welcome after that. We’d also like to see the city, province, federal government and the National Capital Commission come up with a plan that fixes truck issues in the core and causes the least possible disruption for the citizens of Ottawa. And speaking of crossings, we can only hope to see the city complete one bridge this year. Maybe it will be the Strandherd-Armstrong span across the Rideau River in the south end or maybe it will be the pedestrian bridge over the Airport Parkway. One would be nice so we’re not still hoping this time next year. Other construction plans call for infill in many neighbourhoods. While no one may want a highrise near home, the city’s plan to make the best possible use of land withing the Greenbelt – and especially around transit hubs – deserves support. Infill sure beats sprawl beyond our current urban boundary. The continued strength of our annual festivals is worth wishing for too. From the Tulip Festival to blues and jazz fests, the events are what make it great to live in this city. Bring on 2014.

Taking on a new perspective for 2014
S
ix things I’m going to do next year: 1. Take the bus. Retired people get out of the habit of getting on the bus, but it’s crazy that I spend so much time driving around looking for parking spaces or paying large amounts to parking garages. It makes me grouchy. Meanwhile there are a lot of places I can get to easily on the bus. Getting downtown or visiting somebody at the hospital is a breeze. Even with fare hikes, I save money and get there in a better frame of mind. It might even be community-minded of me: if more people use the system, the system will thrive and improve. Plus, Ottawa will have a sparkling new system by the time I’m 130, so I might as well get used to it. 2. Hear more live music. Just when you discover a new favourite club, it’s gone, replaced by a spa or a money mart, depending on which part of town you’re in. That’s because people aren’t turning up, except maybe in festival season. It’s always tempting to stay home and catch your music on iTunes or YouTube or whatever, but there’s something about live music and there’s something about supporting local musicians.

If we want places to play, we have to help those places stay in business — particularly those that pay a decent wage. 3. Go to more SkyHawks games. It’s very good basketball, high-scoring and exciting. Plus, it’s a good family atmosphere. Afternoon games have mascots and child-oriented entertainers to add to the action. There’s more music than you need during the play, but that’s life. And the Canadian Tire Centre is way too large: even a respectable-sized basketball crowd is lost in there. Also, the Canadian Tire Centre is where the Canadian Tire Cen-

tre is — namely, on the outskirts of nowhere. But the small crowds do mean that parking and getting in and out are far easier than during Senators games. When Lansdowne is completed, the SkyHawks will move down to the Civic Centre, which will be more intimate. But they need to survive. The principle of use it or lose it applies here as well. Remember, we had some pretty good baseball in this town and lost it at least in part because we didn’t get out to see it. 4. Spend more time at the National Gallery. Because it’s always there and the exhibitions are on for lengthy periods of time, it’s easy for me to put off going to the Gallery. But there’s no way it should be taken for granted. The building is a masterpiece and the collections are, for lack of a better phrase, world-class. Why wouldn’t I be there all the time? You could apply the same reasoning to the National Arts Centre and the War Museum, which are not as appreciated or as patronized as they should be. Living in a government town does that to you: you don’t appreciate what you have. 5. Cut down, at least a bit, on complaining. This flows from the previous point. We don’t appreciate what we have and we think our
problems, which are often problems of affluence — the second computer doesn’t connect to the WiFi! — actually matter. Meanwhile, there are people with real problems who aren’t getting enough of our attention. 6. Don’t buy a musical toothbrush. I saw this advertised on TV, more than a few times, while watching small bits of a Christmas movie between large bits of commercials. It’s battery-operated and there’s a selection of tunes it will play, in order to entice you or your children or your grandchildren to brush their teeth more often. I have decided against it.

News - The 1st Stittsville Guides have helped out Nelson House, an Ottawa shelter for abused women and children. Since September, the Guides were collecting new toiletry items which they formally presented to Nelson House representative Keri Lewis at their last meeting before Christmas on Tuesday evening, Dec. 17 at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. The toiletry items, ranging from creams to soap to toothpaste to shampoo to toothbrushes and more, were all put out on display for the evening to show Ms. Lewis what had been collected and was being donated. Ms. Lewis remarked that Nelson House usually gives a zip bag ďŹ lled with such items to new residents at the shelter, so these donated items will come in very handy. Nelson House is a shelter for abused women and children that was established in 1992, providing emergency shelter and social services for women and children who are eeing abuse in their lives. Nelson House provides a safe space for women and their children to go if they have been experiencing abuse. Most arrive at Nelson House with just the clothes that they are wearing as they have had to ee their abusive situation quickly. This is why Nelson House must provide items such as toiletry items to help them get re-established so that they can begin their new lives. Ms. Lewis explained that Nelson House has six bedrooms with a total of 15 beds for residents. Residents also share a kitchen, dining room and playroom. Nelson House is one of six such shelters for abused women and children in the city of Ottawa. If these houses are all full, anyone seeking such shelter is housed at a hotel until space becomes available in one of the shelters. A typical stay at Nelson House is about two months, although such stays can range from a couple of days up to eight months or so.
Nelson House serves on average 150 women and children per year. The Crisis Line for Nelson House at 613-225-3129 answers more than 1,500 calls annually, responding to the needs of women in crisis by providing support and information on safety planning, access to community services and advocacy for women to ďŹ nd a safe place to stay. Nelson House also offers information and referrals to services such as police, housing, child care, medical services and legal services. Nelson House is run by a volunteer Board of Directors. The staff of Nelson House consists of a full time team of front line shelter workers as well as part time and relief staff. Staff provide a variety of essential services such as crisis intervention, conict resolution, advocacy with community services, referral to housing and ďŹ nancial support, suicide prevention, group facilitation, addiction counselling and more. Volunteers provide administrative assistance in fundraising initiatives, public education and classes such as ones in yoga and self-defence. Nelson House has developed partnerships with various local agencies such as The Ottawa-Carleton Regional Police/Victim Crisis Services, Immigrant & Visible Minority Women Against Abuse, Housing Help, The Ottawa Housing Registry, Carlington Community and Health Centre, Catholic Family Services, Family Service Centre, Interval House, Harmony House, The Women’s Shelter and health and resource centres across the region. Nelson House’s budget covers the costs associated with housing, feeding and providing services to its residents. Core funding comes from the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. Nelson House also has fundraising activities to support programs not covered by government funding. Fundraising and donations are also needed for Nelson House to cover budget shortfalls and expenses incurred. Donors to Nelson House receive an income tax receipt for their contributions.

Richmond’s Quinn Stewart receives $500 bursary Special to the News
Sports - Quinn Stewart of Richmond has been selected as the recipient of the National Capital Amateur Football Association’s Graduating Bantam Player $500 Bursary for 2013. He has played with the Bell Warriors Football Club for the past nine years. Quinn is the second straight Bell Warrior to win this post-secondary bursary. Last year the winner was Warrior alumni Charlie Keenan of Stittsville. Quinn was the Bell Warriors Football Club’s nominee for the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA) Bantam Player $500 Bursary this year. He started playing with the Bell Warriors in 2005, playing for the Club’s tyke team. He played two years on defense at the tyke level, winning most outstanding defensive player in his second year before moving to the offensive site of the ball in his third and final tyke year. Quinn was the tyke team’s most valuable player and team captain in 2007, beginning a series of honours right through to this season. In the 2009 season, he was captain of the Bell Warriors mosquito level team and was selected as the team’s most outstanding offensive player. In this 2009 season, the mosquito team won the Roland Michener “A” Cup Trophy. He followed this up the next season in 2010 with the Bell Warriors pee wee team by going to the Gilchrist Conference “A” Cup finals. In 2011, the Bell Warriors pee wee team on which he played and was team captain won the NCAFA Championship Trophy. He was selected as a NCAFA pee wee all-
star and the starting quarterback in the all-star game. That season he was named the pee wee team’s most valuable player. That was a busy season because he also played for the South Carleton High School Storm varsity football team that season. In the 2012 season, Quinn played in the Gilchrist Conference ‘A” Cup finals while in 2013, Quinn was named team captain of the Bell Warriors bantam team. In his nine seasons with the Bell Warriors, Quinn lost only 13 regular season games in total. But besides playing, Quinn has also helped out the Bell Warriors from a coaching standing. Most recently he served at the Bell Warriors 2013 winter workouts as the quarterback coach for the tyke, mosquito and pee wee players. This past season, he helped out the Bell Warriors mosquito team, coaching their two quarterbacks. Quinn, a student at South Carleton High School in Richmond, has been on the school’s Honour Roll while also playing both football and basketball at the school. Quinn has been described as a person who is responsible, respectful, resourceful, athletic, intelligent and leads by example. Quinn was not the only one associated with the Bell Warriors to receive a NCAFA honour this year. Karin Statham was named as the NCAFA’s volunteer of the year while Emma Chadwick was awarded the Girls’ Touch Football Graduating Player $500 Bursary. Karin Statham has volunteered with the Bell
Warriors for the past four years, serving for two years as a canteen volunteer before becoming Director of Canteens for the past two years. In this position, she single handedly revamped the Bell Warriors canteen. As a result, it earned over $12,000 profit for the Warriors in the past two years. Karin also oversees the selling of Warrior Wear and its 50/50 draws as well as its E-Z Peel Cards fundraising initiative. Under Karin’s guidance, the service provided by the Bell Warriors canteen is always cheerful, warm and inviting. “Karin has an uncommon strength of character which is infectious,” says Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart. “Her tireless commitment to our events has raised the level of involvement of new families and volunteers like never before.” “I am a firm believer in setting a good ex-
ample for our youth to embrace and having a leader like Karin single-handedly has motivated our supporters,” president Stewart said. Emma Chadwick, who has received the NCAFA Girls Touch Football Graduating Player $500 Bursary this year, played for the girls touch football pee wee team for one season and then for the midget team for two seasons. She worked hard to become one of the team’s leading players, exhibiting a great attitude and work ethic. In both of Emma’s years as a midget player, the Bell Warriors won the city championship. Emma played touch football for her school, All Saints Catholic High School in Kanata, and this past season played for a Bell Warriors women’s team in an adult league as the Warriors did not field a midget team. She also coached in the Warriors U13 developmental program.

Ford Plots a Trend-Path Ahead and Demonstrates a Vehicle that Can Steer Its Own Path by Brian Turner
Ford recently released the results of their second annual consumer trend report looking forward to 2014 and beyond into factors that will influence customer behaviour in terms of what they want in their vehicles and how they want to buy and have them serviced. On the top of the reports list of global trends for 2014, is what Ford calls ‘Innovation’s Quiet Riot’ which explores whether people will continue trying to keep up with an always-on society and experience a fear of missing out, or begin to find joy in moments free of digital distraction. “There is no escaping the impact – both positive and negative – of the rapid pace of technology. What is more fascinating to watch in 2014 is how a culture of reflection is emerging,” said Sheryl Connelly, Ford global trend and futuring manager. “We are seeing a consumer culture that is increasingly mindful of the need to nurture society’s valuable and irreplaceable resources.” Ford’s 10 trends expected to influence consumers and brands in the coming year include: 1. Innovation’s Quiet Riot: Fast-paced and disruptive innovation is becoming increasingly institutionalized and ubiquitous – fundamentally changing the way consumers work, play and communicate 2. Old School: Consumers are romanticizing how things used to be, finding comfort and connection in products, brands and experiences
that evoke nostalgia 3. Meaningful vs. the Middle Man: Seeking more intimate connections with retailers and service providers, consumers are hunting for stories of identity and meaning in their products and services 4. Statusphere: Across the globe, consumers are broadening the ways they display their wealth – sometimes it screams, sometimes it whispers – upending traditional expressions of status and influence 5. Vying for Validation: In a world of hyper-self-expression, chronic public journaling and other forms of digital expression, consumers are creating a public self that may need validation even more than their authentic self 6. Fear of Missing Out/Joy of Missing out: A tug of war is emerging as the traditional FOMO is challenged by the JOMO. On one end, consumers are persevering to take advantage of everything at their disposal. On the other, they are mindful of the need to focus on, and enjoy, what matters most 7. Micro Moments: With so much information at our fingertips, downtime has given way to filling every moment with bite-sized chunks of information, education and entertainment – seemingly packing our lives with productivity 8. Myth of Multitasking: In an increasingly screen-saturated, multitasking modern world, more and more evidence is emerging to suggest that when we do everything at once, we sacrifice the quality – and often safety – of each thing we do

January 2, 2014 9. Female Frontier: Profiles of women have reached new prominence; demographic shifts are changing household dynamics and definitions. Together, women and men will redefine roles and responsibilities in 2014 10. Sustainability Blues: The world has been fixated on going green, and now the attention is shifting beyond recycling and eco-chic living to a growing concern for the power and preciousness of the planet’s water One of the trends in automotive technology that dominated 2013 was the concept of an autonomous vehicle which has been and continues to be tested in an increasing larger number of prototypes on public highways and roads around the globe. The most well known example of this is the Google self-driving car which has logged more miles than all of the competition combined. It was a natural step for Ford to move in this direction based on their success with their ‘active park-assist’ system which is available in several models to help drivers win the battle of parallel parking. They recently demonstrated an obstacle avoidance test car that can automatically steer and brake to avoid collisions with vehicles stopped or slowing in the same lane ahead. The system takes over if the driver fails to steer or brake following system warnings. The system was featured on the Ford Edge Concept that debuted recently at the Los Angeles Auto Show. “The obstacle avoidance research project is a prime example of technologies we are developing to benefit drivers whose Ford vehicles are equipped with the technology and others who share the road with them,” said Paul Mascarenas, chief technical officer and vice president, Ford research and innovation. “We are optimistic that through our research and findings, we will be able to reduce these types of rear-end collisions.”

Painting carousel horses at Elemenopaint’s holiday art workshops John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Merry-go-rounds or carousels commonly feature horses. As a result, the carousel or merry-go-round horse has become an elaborate and familiar sight thanks to the numerous merry-go-rounds at fairs and amusement parks. And so they make a good subject for an artistic workshop, especially for youngsters, and that is just what Elemenopaint, a communitybased arts program operated by Rochelle James of Stittsville, has done. What is even better is that Rochelle James, herself an artist, has done a whimsical paint-

ing of a carousel horse that has been used as an inspiration for the children and parents who participated in these recent Elemenopaint workshops. The workshops were held at Stittsville Sobeys as well as at Ms. James’ home studio, with the young artists creating their own versions of whimsical carousel horses. Each youthful artist and their families donated items for the local food bank at these workshops. Elemenopaint runs art workshops throughout the year. For instance, in February, Elemenopaint hosts Flag Day art workshops to mark the celebration of Flag Day. The modern day merry-go-round or carousel dates back to the Crusades when knights would gallop on their horses in a circle while tossing balls from one to another, requiring great skill and horsemanship. By the early 18th century, carousels were being operated at various fairs and gatherings in Europe and England. By the mid-19th century, the platform carousel was developed, with the animals fixed to SUBMITTED a circular floor that would rotate around.

Mechanical innovations in the latter part of a carolusel horse at an Elementopaint holiday art workshop in Stittsville. the 19th century led to the modern fairground merry-go-round or carousel. The golden age of the carousel or merrygo-round in North America was the early 20th century. Binghamton, New York, home of the Ottawa Senators’ farm team, the Baby Sens, is considered the “Carousel Capital of the World” for the six original carousels that can be found in that area, donated by the owner of the EndicottJohnson Company early in the 20th century. The movie “Mary Poppins” has a scene featuring a merry-go-round where Mary, Bert and the children ride a merry-go-round and then leave the carousel on their horses to go off on a fox hunt and a horse race.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - It didn’t take Mother long after moving to a drafty old log house in the backwoods of Renfrew Country to figure out the parlour was no place for the Christmas tree. With no insulation, storm windows or heat, the room was closed off for the winter, and so the Christmas tree, after much moving of furniture, was crammed into a corner of the kitchen. Father didn’t care where it was, as long as it wasn’t put up until Christmas Eve, a German custom that was part of his heritage for three generations. Well, it didn’t take long for Mother to get rid of that idea too. The tree was hauled in from the bush about two weeks before Christmas, dragged behind the flat-bottom sleigh, and allowed to stand in the summer kitchen until the clumps of snow could be taken off its wide-spread branches. And then, with much finagling, it was wired to the window frame on one side, and the downstairs bedroom door on the other. It was placed in a wash tub of water, in the hope that the heat from the Findlay Oval wouldn’t entirely rob the tree of its needles. There was always a mystery to the tree decorations which I could never figure out. Every year, dozens of little tin holders with minia-

Christmas tree was a treasured addition to the kitchen of our drafty old log house
ture candles in them were clamped all over the Christmas tree, but they were never lit. I wondered why on earth we had candles on a tree if they couldn’t be glowing at night. Well Mother, with her dread of fire, was the reason. A flat box of tinsel, bought long before I was even born, was another essential tree decoration. Every year, the long thin pieces were carefully hung on the branches of the tree, and the day it came down every last piece of the tinsel was laid out carefully in the same box, tucked away for another year. It was my sister Audrey’s job to make sure the tub of water under the tree was always full. That meant she had to haul it in from the pump outside, and “while you’re at it,” Mother would say, “you might as well fill the reservoir too.” The few glass ball decorations Mother had brought from New York, coloured paper loops made by us children, and only the prettiest of Christmas cards which had come through the mail, were placed here and there on the wide sweeping branches. After the tree was up for the holidays, it changed the whole house. I loved the nights when we all sat around the table with the coaloil lamp sending out dim beams of light and the

tinsel, moving gently from the heat in the kitchen from the stove, made the tree look magical. There were never any gifts under the tree until they mysteriously appeared on Christmas morning, but I would sit with my elbows on the table, and just stare at the wonder of it all. I would picture in my mind what on my list sent to the Ottawa Farm Journal would be left for me by Santa. Would he bring me the doll I had seen in the five and dime store window? What about the real store-bought underwear I longed for? So many evenings before Christmas were spent just dreaming of that morning when I would wake to find that Santa hadn’t forgotten us in Northcote after all. And each day, the spruce tree got sparser and sparser. It didn’t matter how careful Audrey was about keeping the tub full of water, every night there seemed to be another dustpan full of needles to sweep up and dump into the Findlay Oval. Father could be heard muttering from his rocking chair by the oven door that had Mother listened to him, and waited until Christmas Eve to put up the tree, it might look half “decent” by the time Christmas morning rolled around.

Although I would have loved to have the tree stay up until the New Year rolled in, it rarely lasted until a day or so after Christmas. By then, you could see clear back to the wainscoting along the wall behind it, and we all knew it wouldn’t be long until the heat of the stove, confined to the kitchen as it was, the Christmas tree would be as bare as a badger. It would be unwired from its moorings, and dragged out of the kitchen, back through the summer kitchen, and tossed behind the house, a most pathetic sight if I ever saw one! The tub would be emptied, furniture rearranged, and the only remnants of that most wonderful time of the year would be the needles that seemed to appear out of nowhere for weeks long after the Christmas season was over. Father knew better than to say “I told you so.” My sincere Christmas wishes go out to all our faithful readers. May each of you experience the true meaning of this wonderful time of year, and may you spend it with loved ones around you. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

FOOD & NEWS Pan-roasted peppered steak with carmelized leeks - easy and tasty Foodland Ontario Special to the News
Lifestyle - Sometimes you just crave a great steak, so keep it simple and serve with seasonal leeks and mashed potatoes. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 20 minutes. Roasting time: 10 minutes. Serves two. Ingredients * 4 ml (3/4 tsp) black peppercorns or very coarsely ground pepper * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt (preferably Kosher) * 375 g (12 oz) strip loin or rib eye steak, at least 2.5 centimetres (one inch) thick * 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter * 15 ml (1 tbsp) olive oil * 25 ml (2 tbsp) balsamic vinegar * 1 bunch well washed leeks (white part only), sliced * 15 ml (1 tbsp) fresh thyme leaves * 5 ml (1 tsp) granulated sugar Preparation On a cutting board, use the bottom of a frying pan to coarsely crush peppercorns. Sprinkle the pep-
percorns and salt over both sides of the steak. In a large frying pan (preferably not non-stick), melt half of the butter with half of the oil over medium-high heat until sizzling. Add the steak and reduce heat to medium. Cook the steak until browned, two to three minutes per side. Transfer it to a small baking sheet. Pour the vinegar into the hot pan, stirring to scrape up any brown bits and pour it over the steak. Bake it in a 200 C (400 F) oven until medium-rare -about 10 minutes. Let the steak stand loosely covered with foil for about 10 minutes before thinly slicing. Meanwhile, wipe the pan clean and heat the remaining butter and oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften and turn golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle the leeks with thyme and sugar, and reduce the heat and cook until bits of the leeks are browned, about two minutes. Serve with steak.

Rotary Club involved with project in Uganda Special to the News
News - The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is taking its international project in Luweero, Uganda to the next level. The Club’s initial endeavour with the Maama Watali organization in Luweero even extended beyond its initial concept as the creation of a single library morphed into two libraries, compost training and a vegetable garden. As a result of these initiatives and thanks to the continued involvement of Rotary Club member Sue Namulindwa, two municipalities in that area are now using composting as an alternative to burning garbage. Indeed, a third municipality is now considering this as well. The small garden plot that was developed has been turned into a nursery for seedlings while a larger area of land is now being developed into a cooperative community garden. The Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville has now provided $2,000 for an expansion of this international project to include a co-operative farming project partnership with the Maama Watali organization in Luweero.
This financial assistance will be used as follows: $200 to clear another 50 acres of land that has been donated by the Namulindwa family for farming; $200 to hire a tractor; $200 to purchase seeds to begin the first round of farming; $300 to provide micro credit grants to the six girls presently staying at the Maama Watali home to assist them in changing their lives by going to school for more education; $1,000 to provide micro credit loans of $50 to 20 women to allow them to start their own small businesses and generate an income for their families; and $100 for incidental or unforeseen circumstances. The funds that are to be provided in the form of micro credit loans to individuals are loans only and not a grant. The purpose of this micro credit program is to provide a helping to start the person on the road to financial independence. The loan is to be re-paid after 12 months via monthly repayments at a two percent interest rate. These repayments will provide enough funds to allow a new person to be added each month to the program.
Through this micro credit program, 26 individuals or families will be held in the initial year, with the number continuing to grow as the funds are recycled through the repayments. The Maama Watali organization in Luweero, Uganda is presently operating as a “not for profit” entity in both Canada and Uganda. As a result, there will be very little administrative costs to this partnership since Rotary Club member Sue Namulindwa is committed to cover all of the costs involved. In addition, her family lands are being used for the farming. The 50 acres of land being used has been donated for long term use by the Namulindwa family to the Maama Watali organization although the land itself will remain in the Namulindwa family name. Once cleared, the land will be available for crops such as beans and greens. These are crops which can be quickly grown and sold and which are in high demand in that area. Brad Spriggs is the chair of the international projects committee of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville.

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The appearance of singers from the Goulbourn Male Chorus at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop on Stittsville Main Street for a Christmas singalong on Friday evening, Dec. 20 was cancelled due to the snowy weather conditions that day.

Here comes Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AGM Special to the News
News - With 2014 jnow here, thoughts turn to the annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Township
Historical Society which always happens in January. For 2014, the annual general meeting will take place on Saturday, Jan
18, with a luncheon at 12 noon followed by the actual annual general meeting starting about 1 p.m. And as has been the practice of
Leeder and Sens Foundation president Danielle Robinson. Bassel Khalil of Napoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s welcomes his most loyal customers to this private party fundraiser which was marking its sixth year in 2013.

And this coming year, look for Lois â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Frimaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to close for the season as of Halloween. This is what the longstanding Lois â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Frimaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlet on the Byward Market in downtown Ottawa has been doing for years. But what makes the closing memorable is that free ice cream is given away on that last day, Halloween. This has made it a most popular event downtown and the hope is that this free ice cream closing day on Halloween will become a bit hit here as wellâ&#x20AC;ŚHomeowners are reminded that Christmas trees will be collected by the city of Ottawa on your regularly scheduled curbside collection day.

Sports - The Cavanagh Construction Grey Team scored five straight goals in the first period and then never looked back in defeating the Cavanagh Construction Black Team 15-7 in Stittsville Town League hockey action on Thursday, Dec. 19. The Grey Team led 5-0 after the first period and 9-5 after two periods, before scoring another six goals in the third period to end up winning by a 15-7 score. Glen Cameron of the Grey Team had a great game, not only
scoring four goals but also adding seven assists for an 11 point game. Andrew Duncan added three goals for the Grey Team while Matt Cloutier, Chris Brussa-toi and Mike Scerbo all scored two goals in the game. Picking up single goals for the Grey Team in this game were Will Engler and Steve Derouin.

At the end of each and every year as your Councillor, I like to look back on the year and provide a review of which issues were in the news and what occurred locally as well. 2013 was a busy year where major projects moved forward and some issues came to the forefront that weren’t on the radar in the previous year. The two biggest issues in recent memory took major steps forward this past year. The LRT plan that was originally conceived in 2007 finally broke ground this year with the tunnelling commencing under Queen Street. Major property acquisitions were completed for the future Blair Road to Tunney’s Pasture rail line that was awarded to an internationally experienced consortium headed by ACS Infrastructure, EllisDon & SNC Lavalin. The other major project that is now moving closer to completion is the Lansdowne Park redevelopment. The stadium and commercial projects are well under way and the urban park has begun its development as well, with the contract being awarded to a local company: D&G Landscaping. 2014 will see the completion of the stadium and the introduction of two new sports franchises: the Ottawa RedBlacks of the CFL and the Ottawa Fury of the NASL. It was also recently announced that the new Lansdowne Stadium will play host to an outdoor NHL game in 2017. In other City-wide issues, City Council approved updates to the Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan, Cycling Plan & Pedestrian Plan. These updates included a widening of Old Richmond Road between West Hunt Club and Hope Side Road. That project will include roundabouts at West Hunt Club, Stonehaven & Hope Side Road, eliminating the temporary Tomlinson access that was built this fall. The Official Plan update ensured that there would be no expansions to any village boundary and that we have an adequate supply of land within our village boundaries for the next ten years. One change was made in Richmond, however, where the industrial lands at Ottawa Street and Eagleson Road were re-designated to accommodate a mix of residential, commercial and industrial uses rather than 100% industrial. Some contentious issues in 2013 included the Casino plan, Energy East and Plasco. City Council made a decision to stick with RideauCarleton rather than allowing for an open bid for a casino anywhere in the City. Many residents were quite vocal about either no new casino or leaving the slots at the racetrack alone. Only a handful of residents actually wanted a new casino in Ottawa. TransCanada came forward with plans to convert one of the already existing gas pipelines that run through Rideau-Goulbourn into an oil pipeline. They held a couple of open houses on their Energy East project and I expect more consultation to occur in the future as this project likely won’t occur until 2017 at the earliest. As for Plasco, we’re still waiting for that project to get up and running and I remain cautiously optimistic that it will all work out. If it does, we’ll have a strong solution for our waste long-term and if it doesn’t, we only lose time and it will be back to the drawing board. We’ll have a better idea of what will happen by the end of 2014. On a more local note, 2013 saw the resurfacing of Ormrod Road and parts of Rothbourne Road, Flewellyn Road, Ashton Station Road, King Street and Ottawa Street. We had strong community engagement on two development proposals in Richmond and Stittsville. These two major development applications will continue forward in 2014 and I’ll continue to work to ensure that they fit in with their surrounding and don’t detract from the existing community. We also held consultations on the Carp Road Widening, the Carp Road Snow Disposal Facility and the Taggart quarry application for the property at Jinkinson & Fernbank. After receiving approval from the Ministry of the Environment for the Highway 7 Service Road late in 2012, staff continued to work on design for the long awaited project to reconnect Country Club Village to Jinkinson Road. 2014 will see the City work to address the conditions of approval with the intent of constructing the new road in 2015. The Fernbank Road/Shea Road roundabout saw preliminary construction begin at the end of this year and that project should be completed within 2014 providing safer conditions for vehicles at that highly used intersection. I was also pleased to see some smaller projects completed in 2013. Fallowfield Village saw the installation of new community signage as well as a new gateway feature at the corner of Fallowfield Road and Steeple Hill Crescent, across from Fallowfield United Church. The Munster Community Association raised funds to replace their community board near the Mac’s Convenience Store. The new sign was installed this fall and looks fantastic. Also, in response to community concerns regarding pedestrian safety along Fowler Street, the City of Ottawa provided a paved shoulder between Strachan Street and St. Philip’s Catholic Church. Thank you for taking the time to read my year in review report for Rideau-Goulbourn. It has been a great honour to represent you for the last three years and I look forward to completing my term in office in 2014. Happy New Year! If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at Scott.Moffatt@ ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613580-2491.

‘The Lunchbox’ is one of films in Rotary International Film Series 2014 john.curry@metroland.com
News - It’s a movie that won the Critics Weeks Viewers Choice Award at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. It was also shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. And it was considered by many to be a certainty as India’s selection in the Best Foreign Film category in the upcoming Academy Awards, although the Film Federation of India choose the film :”The Good Road” instead, sparking outrage from the film’s supporters. But all this means that “The Lunchbox,” a 2013 romantic film made in India, is an enter-
taining film and well worth seeing, something that you can do in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 as “The Lunchbox” is the fourth and final film which will be shown in this Rotary Film Series this year. It will be screened on Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Theatre at Kanata Centrum where all four of the Rotary International Film Series movies will be shown. “The Lunchbox” tells the story of a man who has been grieving since his wife died and a woman who wants to rekindle her love with her husband by cooking her way to her husband’s heart. The movie involves the famous lunchbox

January through April of this year. The first film on the schedule, slated for Thursday, Jan. 23, is a film “The Hunt” that was shown at both the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. In “The Hunt,” a Danish drama film, Mads Mikkelsen stars as a man who becomes the target of mass hysteria after being wrongly accused of sexually assaulting a child. The film won the 2013 Nordic Council Film Prize and has been selected as the Danish entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2014 Academy Awards this coming March. “Inside Llewyn Davis” is a 2013 American comedy/drama film telling the story of one week in the life of a talented but struggling folk singer in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1961. It is being shown on Thursday, Feb. 20. “Gloria,” a Chilean film about a divorcee who loves dance and romance but is facing the realty of aging, will be screened on Thursday, March 20 while “The Lunchbox” will be shown on Thursday, April 24. What an internationally diverse series of films these four films in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 are and they are all available for viewing for just the $40 cost of a pass. And, what’s even better, the pass is fully transferable so if you cannot attend one of the screenings, you can give the pass to a family member or friend for their use. Passes for the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and at the Wes Zacharuk Insurance Group Inc.

delivery system in Mumbai, called the dabbawala. Due to a mistake, the dabba with the delicious food that the woman has prepared for her husband makes the delivery instead to the man who has been grieving since his wife died. This begins a series of notes exchanged between them through the dabba or food deliverer. What the film also has going for it is that one of its stars is Irrfan Khan, one of India’s best known actors who has also appeared in such movies as “Slumdog Millionaire” and “Life of Pi.” So, you know that he is an appealing actor. He played the role of the police inspector in the 2008 British drama film “Slumdog Millionaire” while he played the adult version of Piscine “Pi” Molitor Patel in “Life of Pi,” a 2012 American 3D live action computer-animated adventure drama film. Indeed, at the 2013 Academy Awards, “Life of Pi” had 11 nominations, winning four of the categories including Best Director. “Slumdog Millionaire,” by the way, received ten Academy Award nominations in 2009, winning in eight categories including Best Picture. “The Lunchbox,” which is presented in Hindi with English sub-titles, is one of four films that are being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 which will take place on one Thursday evening in four consecutive months (Jan. to April) this year. All of the screenings are happening at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata starting at 7 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Signing up for the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 by purchasing a pass for the four films to be shown is a lot like being there at the Berlin International Film Festival or at the Cannes Film Festival or at the Toronto International Film Festival – at least for one Thursday night a month for four months, from
