CHEO draw at LCBO John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Stittsville LCBO has raised over $15,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Five thousand dollars of this total was generated by a raffle draw which was held, with a customer able to make a $5 donation at the

point of sale to receive a ballot for the raffle. There were 1,000 tickets for the raffle draw with the tickets selling out within ten days. Customers were also able to make a donation to CHEO at the point of sale cashier. In addition, customers could drop a donation into a large glass jar that was set up just beyond the cashier stations. About $500 in donations were dropped into this jar.

All together, about $15,500 was generated for CHEO from all of these donation sources. Indeed, the success of the raffle was such that the Stittsville LCBO is thinking of expanding the raffle draw to 2,000 tickets next December to generate $10,000, twice as much as this latest raffle. Those who made a $5 donation and received a ballot for the raffle were eligible to win one of four prizes packages ranging in value from $400 to “priceless.” The winning entries were drawn at the Stittsville LCBO on Monday, Dec. 30 just after 5 p.m. by Stephen Adler from the CHEO Foundation, with one of the winning entries being drawn by Marie Desmarais, the LCBO’s District Manager. The winner of the first prize in the raffle draw was Kris Feliksik of Stittsville who won two tickets to the Ottawa Senators game against the New York Rangers on Saturday, Jan. 18 donated by the Ottawa Senators Foundation plus a $100 gift certificate to Napoli’s Café in Stittsville, donated by Napoli’s. Winner of the second prize in the draw was Mike Sale of Stittsville. He won two 18 hole rounds of gold with an electric cart donated by the Canadian Golf and Country Club plus a $100 gift certificate to The Glen Scottish Restaurant in Stittsville, donated by The Glen Scottish Restaurant. Winner of the third prize in the draw was Gary Hartmann of Munster who won two 18 hole rounds of gold with an electric card donated by the Canadian Golf and Country Club plus a $100 gift certificate to Dandy’s Bar & Grill in Munster, donated by Danby’s. Winner of the fourth prize in the draw was Mike Roy of Stittsville who won a Pocopazzo cookbook donated by Pocopazzo Restaurant, a giant teddy bear donated by Chris Rand-Chu, manager of the Stittsville LCBO, and a variety of homemade baked goodies donated anony-

mously. The giant teddy bear, which looks just like the CHEO mascot bear and had been purchased by Chris Rand-Chu and donated for the draw, attracted a lot of attention as it was on display at the LCBO during the CHEO fundraising and raffle draw, including receiving a lot of hugs from youngsters. This recent fundraising for CHEO at the Stittsville LCBO surpassed the total from a year before which was just under $11,500. This year’s total was helped by the funds raised by the raffle draw. This was the first year for such a raffle draw. All of these funds which will be donated to CHEO will go to help the CHEO Foundation purchase a Neonatal Transport Isolette which will allow CHEO’s Neonatal Transport Team to safely transport about 4,000 infants from other hospitals to CHEO over the expected lifetime of the equipment which should be ten years. This Neonatal Transport Isolette is considered one of the most vital pieces of equipment that CHEO”s Neonatal Transport Team needs. CHEO’s level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) includes a Neonatal Transport Team which is dispatched on lifesaving missions to community hospitals throughout CHEO”s service area 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This team consists of specially trained neonatal critical care Registered Nurses (RN) and Registered Respiratory Therapists (RRT) who work collaboratively with the supervising Neonatologist to provide stabilization and safe emergency transport of high risk infants from community hospitals to CHEO. This team transports infants less than 28 days of age or weighing less than 5 kg. Between April 2011 and March 2012, this transport team carried out 373 transports of such infants.

‘Amberwood in Winter’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - If you want to enjoy the wintertime beauty and tranquility found on the snow-covered Amberwood golf course and yet you don’t want to get cold doing so, then the Stittsville library branch is the place for you this month. That’s because Stittsville photographer John Edkins is the featured artist on the ArtSpace Wall at the library for the month of January and his exhibition features wintertime shots of the Amberwood golf course. The exhibition of framed photographs, many in colour but some in black and white, is called “Amberwood in Winter.� All but one of the photographs on display were taken in wintertime on the Amberwood golf course which has Poole Creek flowing through it, with the only exception being one photograph taken elsewhere on Poole Creek. All of the photographs were taken by Mr. Edkins, who lives close by the golf course, between 2006 and 2012. Some are landscapes, showing trees or even ice covered sand traps, but others are macro shots of ice melting, a Mallard duck taking off and other scenes found around the golf course. Mr. Edkins says that there are always geese around the course, as well as Mallard ducks. And on occasion he sees a deer.

The Stittsville Royals host Shawville Pontiacs on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 2:30 p.m. at the GRC in Stittsville.

“It’s all there,� he says about taking photographs at the Amberwood golf course in winter – landscapes, close ups and wildlife. He says that February is a great time for photographing ice there as that is the time of winter when it starts to melt and then freezes. The exhibition includes a couple of shots of the magic of this Poole Creek ice. These photographs on display, all of which are framed, normally hang on a wall in the basement of the Edkins home. He admits that he pretty much emptied his house of these Amberwood winter scenes to mount this exhibition. Mr. Edkins uses a digital camera and shoots all of his photos in “raw� format which allows him great flexibility in cropping or working on the photos to bring out the best in them. In the summer, Mr. Edkins takes a lot of photographs of gardens and flowers, both his own as well as those of neighbours and friends. He is also a regular contributor to the exhibitions which are staged by the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) at the owaa gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. This fall Mr. Edkins has been taking photographs for the Goulbourn Male Chorus including at the Male Chorus’ Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 15 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata.

He maintains an extensive online gallery at www.edkinsphoto.com .

News - They are not related, just friends, but they are musical brothers. Their brotherhood was shared with patrons at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its Friday music evening last Friday, Jan. 3 when Geoff Dignam and Charles Valois performed at the first music evening of 2014.

his half hour solo performance, featuring just he, his voice and his guitar, he was joined by Geoff as they played and sang together. Geoff, who has adopted the handle “The Maundering Minstrel” (even his website uses this – it can be found at https://www.facebook. com/TheMaunderingMinstrel), is known not only for his easy performance manner but for his tuneful combination of folk-style songs and stories, a style reminiscent of such practitioners of this genre as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan and Pete Seeger. He is in the process of creating a CD of his songs, many of which are about the world around him such as marketplaces and relationships. These Friday music evenings happen at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) every Friday at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, Jan. 10, the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop will feature the Robert Wannell Duo, a pair of jazz guitarists.

News - The four films being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 come from four corners of the world – Europe, North America, South America and Asia. What a great way of being exposed to the creativity and culture of these far-flung, diverse places without going beyond the walls of the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum where the movies will be shown. The sale of passes for this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 are at two locations: 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. The Cooperators at 62 Stonehaven Drive in Bridlewood. Passes, though, can be purchased only by cash or cheque. Each pass costs $40 but it is fully transferable if the purchaser cannot attend one of the four films being shown and wishes to lend the pass to another person. The films are being shown on one Thursday evening in January, February, March and April, all at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Leo Maiorino of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa, a Stittsville resident, is a major sponsor of this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014. Other

sponsors include Theresa Qadri of Coldwell Banker, West Zacharuk of Cooperators and the Gaia Java Coffee Company. And just what are the films being shown in this upcoming 2014 International Film Series? Well, on Thursday, Jan. 23, it will be “The Hunt,” a 2012 Danish film featuring Mads Mikkelson. This film, in Danish with English subtitles, is considered a contemporary and powerfully emotional film. On Thursday, Feb. 20, it will be a United States film that is shown, namely “Inside Llewyn Davis,” a 2013 production in English about a fictional folk musician in the early 1960’s in New York. The soundtrack to this film has become popular in its own right, so seeing this film and hearing its music should be quite a treat. On Thursday, March 20, the movie “Gloria,” a production from Chile, will be shown. This film in Spanish with English subtitles tells the story of a divorcee in her late 50’s who loves dancing and romance but is also facing the reality of aging. And finally, on Thursday, April 24, this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 will conclude with the screening of “The Lunchbox,” made in India in 2013. Set in Mumbai, this film is in Hindi but has English subtitles. One of its stars is Irfan Khan who was in “Life of Pi” and in “Slumdog Millionaire.”

Draft of Main Street CDP Continued from page 1

The idea of the Community Design Plan is to create the conditions where Stittsville Main Street can develop as a compact, mixed use, walkable community in its own right. The intent of the CDP, according to city of Ottawa urban designer Charles Lanktree, who is the lead planner for the CDP, is to transform Stittsville Main Street from its current limited function as a traffic arterial to being a complete community where people can live, work, shop and play. The Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan process is the result of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri working with city of Ottawa planning staff to ensure that development along Stittsville Main Street in the future retains the community feel of Stittsville. It was back in Nov. 2010 that councillor Qadri brought a motion to Ottawa city council asking for a work plan to develop a Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street. This request was as a result of a city approval for a five storey mixed residential/commercial building and related townhomes at a site on Stittsville Main Street. Councillor Qadri and some residents had argued that the scale of this development was inappropriate for the community. Stittsville Main Street is designated as a Traditional Mainstreet in the city’s Official Plan, making it a site for intensification of development, creating a compact, mixed use and walkable environment supporting transit, cycling and walking. However, Stittsville Main Street is also covered by Policy 13 which relates to the Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines

of the former Township of Goulbourn. The relationship of this Policy 13, which requires any new construction on Stittsville Main Street to be evaluated in terms of the existing character of buildings along Stittsville Main Street, to the direction of the Traditional Mainstreet designation for Stittsville Main Street in the official Plan has created some ambiguity with respect to how the former Goulbourn planning documents are to be interpreted today. The Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street will solve this apparent ambiguity and conflict. Traffic on Stittsville Main Street is also a consideration as the street is meant to continue to function as a primary north/south route in the community. This means that Stittsville Main Street development must be of a type that will encourage a compact mixed use and walkable environment rather than the auto-oriented, low-rise pattern of development which has prevailed to this point. This Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street is being undertaken by the city’s planning and growth management staff in collaboration with a public advisory committee. Following an initial Nov. 1, 2012 public workshop and the creation of a vision for the street, a public open house presenting this vision and the existing conditions that prevail along Stittsville Main Street was held in 2013. For more information about the community information session on Thursday, Jan. 16, please contact project manager Charles Lanktree of the city of Ottawa’s Planning and Growth Management Department at 613-5802424, ext. 13859 or via email at Charles.Lanktree@ottawa.ca .

Equipment for Neonatal Transport Team Continued from page 3

The Neonatal Transport Isolette, which costs $292,000, is some of the highly specialized equipment that the Neonatal Transport Team needs to meet the health requirements of its tiny patients being transported. The Neonatal Transport Isolette is a mobile neonatal intensive care unit that provides CHEO’s medical team with similar capabilities during transport to those available upon arrival in CHEO’s NICU. This neonatal transport incubator is based on a stretcher to allow for mobility and securement in ambulances, helicopters and airplanes. The Neonatal Transport

Isolette consists of several components that all combine to provide a full range of lifesaving benefits. This includes a neonatal transport incubator, a ventilator, a cardiac respiratory oxygen saturation monitor with invasive and non-invasive blood pressure monitoring and temperature monitoring and oxygen and air tanks including airway management equipment. The incubator creates a closed, controlled womb-like environment that provides a complete life support system that also warms an infant by circulating heated air over the skin.

Putting fun back in hockey

O

ttawa rang in another new year with the 15th edition of the Bell Capital Cup. Despite the almost record low temperatures over the past few weeks, it warms the heart to watch children from all over the world gather at arenas across the nation’s capital in celebration of Canada’s game. The five-day tournament provides a welcome economic boost, drawing more than 15,000 visitors to the city, with thousands of hotel rooms rented for the event. The tournament has also raised more than $2.4 million in support of minor hockey and local charities since it began in 1999. More than 6,500 youth hit the ice to participate in the world’s largest hockey tournament on community ice rinks across Ottawa from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1, with the opening ceremonies held at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata. This amounts to 310 teams in 19 divisions for the annual atom and peewee hockey tournament, with participants coming from Canada, China, Japan, Finland, Germany, Austria and the United States. The Ottawa area is always well represented at the tournament, with a number of teams competing for the top spot, including the Kanata Blazers, the Nepean Raiders, the Ottawa Sting, the Ottawa Silver Seven and the Gloucester Rangers.

But this isn’t a competition centred around which team racks up the most victories, or who wins their division – the highlight of the festival is, as it always has been, the lasting memories created for the both the children and their parents. It’s about kids having fun playing games, enjoying each other’s company, sharing laughs and making new friends. The glory of hockey, the reason it’s woven into our national fabric, is it can be enjoyed by girls and boys, men and women, and as those with physical disabilities. Often we forget that hockey is just a game, distracted by our fanatical devotion to professional teams chasing Stanley Cup glory. Too often, we celebrate the bloody fist fights that mark the “competitive spirit� of National Hockey League teams, driven to win precious points to make the playoffs. For fans, the success of a team is marked in the back pages of the paper’s sports section, recording a team’s wins and losses, as well as the goals and assists tallied by players. Concepts such as good fellowship, laughter and fun usually take a back seat to goals against average, plus-minus and power play and penalty kill percentages. Tournaments such as the Bell Capital Cup remind all of us why we enjoy playing hockey, and that’s the true glory of the event.

Making some fearless predictions for 2014

1

There will be 7,345,187 instances of fearless predictions for 2014, journalists having nothing else to write about over the holidays. 2. The year will begin with a flurry of speculation about who will run for mayor of Ottawa in 2014. Virtually everyone will be mentioned except for Daniel Alfredsson and that’s only because he’s in Detroit most of the time. This flurry will last until people grow tired of it, which will be in mid-February. 3. In mid-February, downtown Ottawa will officially disappear in cloud of construction dust. People will eventually grow weary of looking for it and look for other downtowns to frequent, such as the downtowns of Kanata, Barrhaven and OrlÊans. When downtown Ottawa re-emerges, around 2022, everyone will have forgotten where it is. 4. The same goes for Lansdowne Park. 5. In a related development, enterprising Glebe homeowners will turn once again to a historical revenue-producing activity — renting out their lawns for parking. The more visionary of these will create underground parking beneath their lawns. 6. In March, local sports commentators will demand that Senators coach Paul McLean be fired.

In May, Daniel Alfredsson will announce his retirement from hockey and speculation about his run for the Ottawa mayoralty will resume. This will be immediately booed by Toronto Maple Leaf fans. Pundits will suggest that Alfredsson has no chance, since he lacks many of the qualities of a successful mayor – for example, he does not have addiction problems and he can button all the buttons on his shirt. 9.

RedBlacks, the city’s new Canadian Football League franchise. Team members will have to be helicoptered in because there is not enough parking in the Glebe. On a positive note, Ottawa residents will stop complaining about the team name. As one season ticket-holder says: “At least it’s better than Ottawa BlueOranges.� 11. Ten more outdoor stores and 21 more restaurants will open in Westboro in July. Centuries from now, archaeologists will wonder why all the remains discovered in one section of Ottawa suggest that every resident was overweight and wore hiking boots. 12. In July, the RedBlacks will win their first game, defeating the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. The Winnipeg coach will explain that his team was disoriented, suffering an identity crisis after moving from the West Division to the East Division and back for the second time in 20 years. Winnipeg sources will also reveal that, because of the success of the RedBlacks, the Winnipeg team might change its name to the BlueGolds. 13. In September, Daniel Alfredsson will announce that he is definitely not running for mayor of Ottawa. Toronto Maple Leaf fans will boo him anyway. As of mid-month, the only officially announced candidates will be Jim Watson and John Turmel.

14. In October, tunnelling workers will accidentally bury the Senate building and a nearby McDonald’s restaurant. Frantic attempts will be made to save the McDonald’s. 15. Later in the month, the city will be consumed by rumours of an early federal election, because there is nothing else to talk about. When the snow comes, election talk will cease. 16. Predictions of a catastrophic snow storm will dominate the airwaves and the catastrophic snow storm will not appear. This will be the ninth catastrophic storm not to appear in 2014. 17. Jim Watson will narrowly defeat John Turmel in the Ottawa mayoralty race. Experts will say the difference-maker was Watson’s promise to find downtown Ottawa and put a casino in it.

Belly dancing, Zentangles courses at Sacred Heart Special to the News

News - Shimmies, figure 8’s, hip twists and lifts – these are among the movements that you will learn in the Belly Dance Level 1 course being offered at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville as part of the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s winter/spring 2014 Continuing Education general interest course offerings. An eight week Belly Dance Level 1 course, held one hour a week from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursdays, will get underway on Thursday, Jan. 30. Cost is $79 plus HST. In this course, a participant will learn to belly dance and become familiar with such movements as shimmies, figure 8’s and the like. Introductory veil work and arm positions will also be included. The easy-to-learn choreography will allow a participant to increase fitness and build core strength while having fun. No dance experience is necessary with beginners more than welcome. And you don’t have to have a veil – veils will be provided by the instructor. For those who have had previous belly dancing experience, a Belly Dance Level 2 course is being offered at Sacred Heart as well. This will happen for eight weeks on Thursdays from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. starting on Thursday, Jan. 30, also for the cost of $79 plus HST. Thanks to previous experience, this course will involve more advanced movements such as jump shimmies, single hip circles travelling, hipdrop-kicks turning, veil caravan, veil travelling turban and more. In this course, transfers between moves will be executed at a quicker pace with a faster music tempo. Again, this course will help build core strength and increase fitness. And now there is a new dance craze that combines belly dancing with cardio. This new Belly Dance Cardio & Sculpt course being offered at Sacred Heart involves basic belly dance moves executed at a fast tempo to high energy music, maximizing it as a cardio workout. In other words, it is two workouts in one, with half of the one hour course dealing with calorie burning aerobics and half of the class

dealing with full body resistance training using strength bands. Previous belly dancing experience is helpful but not required as beginners can easily learn the moves as the course progresses. Running shoes or hip hop shoes are required for this class along with a yoga, pilates or exercise mat. The strength bands used in the course will be provided by the instructor. This Belly Dance Cardio & Sculpt course will run for eight weeks on Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., starting on Thursday, Jan. 30. Cost is $79 plus HST. Belly dancing is primarily a torso-driven dance, with an emphasis on articulations of the hips. Correct posture and muscle control is important in belly dancing. Movements in belly dancing include percussive movements which are staccato movements, most commonly of the hips, which are used to punctuate the music and can include hip drops, vertical hip rocks, outwards hip hits, hip lifts and hip twists; fluid movements which are flowing movements in which the body is in continuous motion, requiring much abdominal muscle control, with the movements including horizontal and vertical figures of eight or infinity loops with the hops, horizontal or tilting hips circles and undulations of the hips and abdomen; and shimmies, shivers and vibrations, which are small, fast continuous movements of the hips or ribcage, with some of the common

shimmies movements being up and down hip shimmies, straight-legged knee-driven shimmies, twisting hip shimmies, bouncing earthquake shimmies and relaxed shoulder shimmies. If the activity of belly dancing is not for you and you would prefer a more sedentary pastime, you should consider the Zentangles course or the Watercolour Pencils course that are being offered at Sacred Heart in this Continuing Education winter/spring session. Zentangles is an easy-to-learn fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. Easily learned, Zentangles increases focus and creativity, providing artistic satisfaction and an enhanced sense of personal well being. In this Zentangles course, you will discover how to turn doodles into works of art. This Zentangles course with instructor Marilyn Harris Mills will run on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, beginning on Thursday, Jan. 30. Cost is $65 plus HST. Those taking this Zentangles course will require some supplies. A list of supplies required will be emailed to those who register. These supplies will cost from $15 to $20 to purchase. If you want to try something artistic but feel that Zentangles may not be for you, you can also enroll in the Watercolour Pencils course which is

also being offered at Sacred Heart. Instructor Marilyn Harris Mills will teach participants various techniques to create art with watercolour pencils. No experience is required. This Watercolour Pencils course will run on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for three weeks starting on Thursday, Feb. 20. Cost is $65 plus HST. Another of the offerings at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s winter/spring 2014 Continuing Education program is one for youth, namely a Red Cross Babysitting Course. It will be offered for five weeks in both the winter and spring sessions. The course will run at Sacred Heart from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, starting on Tuesday, Jan. 28. It will also run again in the spring session, again on Tuesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. starting on Tuesday, April 15 for five weeks. This Red Cross Babysitting Course will teach present and potential youth babysitters the basics of child care and child safety. Taught by Red Cross certified instructors, the course will include topics like responsibilities of the babysitter, the basics of first aid, accident prevention and fire safety. The course is open to youth who are 11 to 14 years old. A Red Cross Babysitting Handbook is included in the course fee. A certificate is presented to each participant upon successful competi-

tion of the course which includes attendance at all five classes. Cost of this course is $64. Registration is now underway for these Ottawa Catholic School Board Continuing Education general interest courses. Wednesday, Jan. 15 is the date when the Board will cancel any winter session classes with low enrolment, so any registration for winter session courses should be done before Jan. 15 if possible. Registration can be done online at www.winterconnections.com. However, you must have a login ID number and a PIN number for such online registration. These can be obtained by calling 613-228-3338.

Goulbourn Rockets are golden in Kemptville Special to the News

Sports - The Goulbourn Rockets were golden at the inaugural Kemptville Storm Jinglefest girls hockey tournament. Indeed, it was the ďŹ rst tournament championship captured by a Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association team. It all happened on Friday, Dec. 27 when the Goulbourn Rockets Novice 1 team won both of their round robin games to advance to the tournament ďŹ nal for a second straight tournament. Earlier in November, the Goulbourn Rockets made it to the ďŹ nals of the Cornwall tournament, losing 5-4 when the host Cornwall team scored in the dying seconds for the victory. But at this Kemptville tournament, there was a different ending but again it came down to a goal late in the championship game which made the difference and gave the Rockets a 2-1 win and the tournament gold medals. It was the Rockets who opened the scoring in the championship game against the

Kanata Rangers, with Emma Tysick banging home a loose puck for a 1-0 lead. Abby Carter and Olivia Foster picked up assists on the goal. And while she did not get an assist on the goal, Emmerson Lavictoire played a big role in making it happen as she got the puck out of the Rockets end just moments earlier, relieving the pressure from a huge push from the Rangers. However, two minutes later, the Rangers came back to tie the game 1-1. This is how it stayed until there was ďŹ ve minutes left in the game when the Rockets’ Abby Tate stole the puck from a Ranger defender, broke in on goal and slammed home the go-ahead goal, making it 2-1 for the Rockets. And this is how it ended, 2-1, although not before the Rangers pulled their goalie, creating a few tense moments before the ďŹ nal buzzer sounded. The Goulbourn Rockets defeated both Kanata and Smiths Falls in round robin play leading to the championship ďŹ nal.

It was a close game against Kanata which ended with a 1-0 victory for the Rockets. A key play, though, was a big save by Rockets goalie Olivia Nystedt late in the game which helped preserve the shutout and the win. Player of the game honours went to Emma Tysick. It was a different story for the Rockets in the round robin game against Smiths Falls, as the Rockets scored four goals for a 4-2 victory. Emmy Blauer set a tournament record for the quickest goal at the start of a game when she scored after just 12 seconds of play. Other Rockets to score in this game were Abby Tate and Emma Tysick. But it was the defensive work of Ryann Smith and Hannah Clarkson which really made a difference in this game. Both were strong defensively in their own end and both players produced end-to-end rushes to add to the Rockets offense. Player of the game honours went to Ryann Smith.

All set for an evening of fun playing euchre at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday, Jan. 2 are, from left, clockwise, Joy Phillips, Vivian Lester, Ron Phillips and Craig Lester. These Thursday evening euchres at the Lions Hall will continue weekly through to April, with everyone welcome to attend.

Cold outside but hot cards Special to the News

News - It was a very cold night outside but inside the Lions Hall in Stittsville on this evening of Thursday, Jan. 2, the cards were hot for Rosemarie Baine. She finished up in first place at the euchre party which was the first euchre of 2014 at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street, with four tables in play. These euchres will now continue every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. through until Thursday, April 14, making it a total of 14 evenings of euchre fun at the Lions Hall. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre. There is not only euchre but also there are sandwiches and dessert served every evening, so if you aren’t getting the cards that evening, no worries – you will still get to enjoy a delicious evening luncheon.

News - Over 800 new homes are planned for what is now a vacant parcel of land flanked by the Grant Crossing shopping area to the south, the Fairwinds community to the west, Maple Grove Road to the north and the Carp River and Kanata Recreation Centre to the east. A proposed plan of subdivision calls for about 803 new housing units on the site including 109 single family homes and 694 multiple attached housing units. The proposed plan also has provision for an elementary school site, a commercial area, a storm water management pond, two parks and a proposed sanitary pumping station. There will also be public pathways to provide access to the Poole Creek corridor which runs through the northwest corner of the site as well as provide access to the Carp River corridor which passes through the northeast corner of the site. In addition, there will be pathway access

provided to the relocated Hazeldean Tributary which will run through a publicly-dedicated 30 metre wide corridor in the southern portion of the site. Road access to this new subdivision will be off Maple Grove Road in the north and via two roadways passing through the Grant Crossing shopping area for access to Hazeldean Road. This proposed development has been in the works since 2004 when a draft plan of subdivision and zoning bylaw amendment were submitted to the city of Ottawa. The draft plan of subdivision was recommended for approval by the city’s planning staff in Dec. 2007. However, an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) was filed. In April 2012, following a hearing, the OMB issued an order approving the draft plan of subdivision. The city has now received a revised plan of subdivision based on the OMB-approved draft plan of subdivision.

lips finished second behind Rosemarie Baine. Third place went to Joy Phillips. Jackie Ralph received the booby prize while Leila Graham won the door prize. Jackie Ralph may not have been too lucky with the cards that evening but her luck emerged as she won the first 50/50 draw. Garnet Vaughn won the second 50/50 draw. Those planning on attending one or more of these euchres at the Lions Hall are urged to bring along any Canadian Tire money that may be collecting around the house. The Stittsville District Lions Club collects this Canadian Tire money for use in supporting the B.A.I.T. blind anglers fishing tournament with which it is involved every year. These Thursday night euchre parties at the Lions Hall in Stittsville are organized by Lions Bob and Beth Lewis with the support of their fellow Lions.

Sacred Heart student Evelyn Pageau in Board musical john.curry@metroland.com

News - “To be or not to be.” Famous words from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, to be sure, but for Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 12 student Evelyn Pageau, it’s all about “to be” and for her it means a career in theatre. Her dream job is to be a stage manager, involved in all that theatre tech stuff like lighting and sound. Right now, she is considering various post-secondary schools which offer theatre arts programs, such as Algonquin College, Mount Allison University in New Brunswick and the University of Toronto. Although Evelyn has been involved in all of the theatre productions at Sacred Heart in her years at the school, it was only last year when she took the theatre technician course that she made the decision to pursue the technical side of theatre. Right now, Evelyn is just coming off her involvement in Sacred Heart’s musical “CATS” at the end of November in which she not only played the role of Grisabella, the Glamour Cat, and the one who sings “Memory,” the song most associated with this particular musical, but she also was deeply involved in making the costumes. And for the musical “CATS,” costumes are a major feature as each cat has its own unique costume. And while some of the cats are briefly described in the songs such as the colour of a tail, the design and style of each costume had to be its own creation. But Evelyn, who is 18 years old, had more than just the musical “CATS” on her plate this past fall. Already selected for a role in “CATS” at Sacred Heart, she auditioned for and was selected for the Ottawa Catholic School Board musical “Annie” which will be presented in February. This meant not only rehearsals for “CATS” but rehearsals three evenings a week for this Board musical, with the rehearsals taking place at St. Paul Catholic High School in Ottawa. While this is the first time that Evelyn has been in one of these Board plays which draw actors from across the jurisdiction of the school board, she had been involved with Sacred Heart productions since being in grade nine. This included the Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland and Robin Hood, assuming progressively bigger roles in each. Evelyn participated in the school band and choir but gave up participation in these activities because of her involvement with the plays. However, she hopes to rejoin the choir now that “CATS” is finished. In the band, she has played several different instruments but likes the oboe which is one of the harder reed instruments to play as it is difficult to tune. But she likes the oboe as indeed she just likes music in general. “I have been very musical my whole life,” she says. In her elementary school education at the Ottawa Waldorf School, she played a couple of instruments and sang

in the choir as well. She made the school’s honour roll in both grade nine and ten and her marks are usually in the 70’s and 80’s. Evelyn says that she reads a lot in her spare time, usually some kind of fantasy or science fiction book. She is not into physical activity but she has recently discovered the martial art of jiu jitsu thanks to her friend

Emma Hickey. Currently a yellow belt, she takes it at Pathway Jiu Jitsu in Stittsville, finding that she really enjoys it. Evelyn did travel to Italy a couple of years ago, the first time that she had travelled internationally. She visited Rome, Venice and Florence and even saw the Pope at the Vatican.

Councillor to run again BIA for Stittsville? John Curry

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is seeking a three-peat. He has confirmed that he will be seeking re-election as the Stittsville ward councillor on Ottawa city council in the municipal election on Monday, Oct. 27. He has not yet filed his nomination papers. Councillor Qadri will be seeking his third term on Ottawa city council, having been first elected in the 2006 municipal election and then being re-elected with 91.46 percent of the vote in the 2010 election. Councillor Qadri was a Stittsville businessman before entering politics, running ShowBiz Entertainment at the Stittsville Shopping Centre in Stittsville. He also served as chair of the Stittsville Village Association and was a charter member and president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. On the current city council, councillor Qadri is the vicechair of the transit committee and is the council’s representative on the provincially-mandated accessibility and advisory committee. He is also on the Ottawa Board of Health and the Ottawa

Public Library Board as well as serving on council’s planning committee and on the agricultural and rural affairs committee in addition to being a member of council’s technology subcommittee. Councillor Qadri is also vicechair of council’s community and protective services committee and also serves as chair of Crime Prevention Ottawa. Councillor Qadri says that going forward in 2014 and beyond, he will continue to focus on three priorities, namely physical infrastructure improvements in the ward, social infrastructure improvements such as crime prevention, increased physical accessibility and mental health, and fiscal responsibility He says that a large part of his job as councillor is ongoing communication with the community. This includes his weekly electronic newsletter, his column in the Stittsville News and his news flashes sent out to the community. In addition, his ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex allows for personal meetings and contacts. Councillor Qadri places great importance on being out in the community and reachable and approachable by those in the community.

News - A Business Improvement Area (BIA) may be created in Stittsville in 2014. There have been two previous attempts to set up such a BIA in Stittsville, both of which failed. But city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri says that he will be launching an initiative to try to create a BIA in Stittsville this year as a way of helping to continue to develop local businesses in the community. He envisions that such a BIA would cover not only Stittsville Main Street but also the Hazeldean Road commercial area. A BIA is a definite geographic area within which businesses pay an additional tax or levy in order to fund projects with the BIA’s jurisdiction. These projects or services are in addition to those already provided by a municipality and are determined by a BIA Board which includes representatives from local businesses, local property owners and government. There are BIA areas in many areas in the city of Ottawa. In 2014, councillor Qadri

hopes to see the completion of the traffic circle at the intersection of Shea Road and Fernbank Road, a project which began late in 2013. He will also be paying close attention to the project involving the widening of highway 417, making sure that it stays on schedule since the project does have an affect on the proposed widening of Carp Road since the Carp Road bridge is to be widened to three lanes as part of the highway 417 project. Councillor Qadri will be continuing to work with the community to get a public high school in the community, saying that those advocating for such a new high school are finally seeing some “flashlight light� at the end of the tunnel for this project. Councillor Qadri himself wants to see such a new public high school serving the Stittsville area built and operating at a site in the Fernbank lands no later than 2017. He also plans to continue to work and dialogue with schools and school councils on a regular basis to help in any way with youth development. This will include working with the Ottawa Police Service to identify youth related concerns and

Councillor Shad Qadri take action to remedy these concerns. He sees social media as a way of reaching out more to youth in the community. Councillor Qadri points to a number of physical infrastructure improvements that happened in the community during his current term of office (2010-2013) such as the completion of the Hazeldean Road widening project, opening of the second ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Centre, implementation of the Environmental Assessment for the widening of Carp Road, development of the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan, installation of traffic signals at the intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Wintergreen Drive/Mulkins Street, pedestrian improvements along Huntmar Drive from Maple Grove Road to Palladium

Drive and refurbishing Bryanston Gate Park with the purchase of additional land. Other infrastructure improvements in the community include the new Ottawa Fire Service station on Iber Road, establishment of a “park and ride� area at Canadian Tire Centre, installation of a sidewalk along Stittsville Main Street from Etta Street through to Cherry Drive, and development of a new hydro sub-station in the area to improve hydro reliability in Stittsville. In the realm of social infrastructure improvements, he points to the holding of a mental health forum in the community in 2013. He also notes the work of the accessibility advisory committee on which he is council’s representative and its work at making accessibility improvements at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and at lowering curbs at some Stittsville intersections for better accessibility for the handicapped. With regard to fiscal responsibility, councillor Qadri notes the work that he and his council colleagues have done to maintain a tax rate of 2.5 percent or less each year of the current term. He also points to the transparency which now exists pertaining to councillor expenses.

Education.

Lifestyle.

After 10 years working in Kanata as a fitness trainer, former Canadian Olympic bobsledder, John Sokolowski, recognized that too many of his clients weren’t connecting the dots between weight-loss and nutrition and, as a result, had trouble reaching their health goals. Many of them incorrectly believed that they could power their way to a specific weight-loss target with high intensity and frequent work-outs alone. What they were failing to grasp is that weight loss is, as John puts it, 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. So, after searching for an appropriate resource to help his growing clientbase, John has opened Ontario’s first Simply for Life clinic at 80 Terence Matthews Crescent in Kanata, just in time for those needing help facing the holiday feasting season. Simply for Life clinics have been helping people in Canada for years and John was impressed by the simplicity and accountability of their programmes. First, Simply for Life (SFL) uses real food that members have no trouble finding at their favourite grocery or food store. There are no powders, pills, exotic herbs, or rare grains. Nor are there any special cooking techniques to learn, or foreign utensils and equipment to buy. Instead, SFL members receive instruction on how to finally succeed in their health improvement goals: through lifestyle change. SFL team members provide common sense meal-planning that is easy to follow, even with hectic schedules and reduced leisure time.

Equally as important as SFL’s no-gimmick approach to food selection is their helpful practice of accountability. New members are invited to attend the SFL clinic on a weekly basis for a 15 minute visit with their counselor. Any difficulties experienced during the previous week are worked through to help prevent the risk of derailing the client’s journey to health. It also gives members a chance to receive helpful nutrition tips and advice, and reinforces SFL’s tenet of providing help when it’s needed.

SFL is based on the premise that a credible and responsible organization that promotes improved personal health and fitness must advocate for a lifestyle change, rather than a “quick-fix� diet or regimen. To provide even more to their members, SFL also offers stress management as a part of their counseling. Under John’s leadership and in-depth knowledge of fitness and well-being, those who have joined to date are already reaping the rewards and are actually looking forward to meeting the seasonal challenges ahead! You can reach John or any member of the SFL team by calling 613-591-FOOD (3663) or by email at info. kanata@simplyforlife.com. Check them out on Facebook by searching for ‘Simply for Life Kanata’. They are open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm and on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. R0012460693

Sandra Luty’s new business ‘Scan It Up’ offers bulk photo scanning John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - “A picture is worth a thousand words.” This popular adage tells how a picture or photograph can convey what it takes a thousand words to describe. In other words, a photograph or picture tells quite a story through a single image. And so photographs are important storytellers, as it were, and especially in a family context – who doesn’t have lots of old photographs, perhaps in a shoebox somewhere, depicting generations of family life. Now, thanks to a new business launched by Sandra Luty of Stittsville, you can bring these old photographs into the modern electronic age, making them accessible to all family members and eliminating the danger that they may be lost or damaged sitting there, stored away in that closet. Sandra’s new business is “Scan It Up,” which provides bulk photo scanning to preserve those old family photos and documents that everyone has. “Scan It Up,” which also offers colour correction and even photo restoration for damaged or aged photos, means that those boxes or albums of old photos can be digitized so that they can be shared with family and friends and used to create a variety of products like canvas prints, photo books, t-shirts and more. Everyone in the family can have a copy of the

treasured family photos once they are digitized. And what’s even better is that Sandra is offering reasonable prices, partly because she went out and invested in a top of the line Kodak bulk scanner that allows her to efficiently scan photos at a rapid pace. All of this has happened as a result of a trip last summer to visit relatives across western Canada. Wherever she stopped, she would end up looking at old photos, catching up on family news. One of her stops was to visit a family member in Calgary who was affected by the flooding there. Sandra spent time trying to assist her relative in peeling apart and cleaning hundreds of photos were almost destroyed by the flood waters. This brought home to Sandra just how unexpectedly and quickly old photos and the precious memories that they engender can be destroyed or lost. Sandra also visited another relative, a cousin, who had prepared photo books showing photographs from a variety of family occasions. These books were displayed on the family’s coffee table. Returning home from this trip, Sandra found that scanning photos is generally an expensive thing since it is usually time consuming to do. But further research showed Sandra that there are scanners available that can do bulk scanning of photos, up to 100 at a time, allowing for quick digitizing of lots of old photos.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Sandra Luty of Stittsville sits among a collection of old photographs like those that she is now handling in her new business “Scan It Up” in which she scans and digitizes treasured old family photographs and documents, preserving them for future generations while also allowing them to be shared with all family members at present. Sandra also realized that she had to keep her pricing reasonable or else people would just put off having their old photos digitized and preserved forever. The old shoebox filled with photos would live on.

Her pricing includes the availability of gift certificates and also the possibility of groups and organizations using her scanning service for fundraising. Sandra is happy with the direction

that her new business is taking her. She has been involved in a number of business projects over the years, ranging from high tech companies to a children’s play centre. But with her background as a graphic designer, she feels right at home ensuring that family photographic treasures are given new life while being preserved not only for today but for the future. In addition, she feels that she is helping people preserve their family history and memories. “I really enjoy helping people,” she says, noting that in all of her previous business endeavours, there has been a component of helping people involved. A main challenge is to motivate people to do something about all of their old family photos. “Everyone wants to get around to it,” Sandra says. That’s why she has not only tried to keep her pricing reasonable but she is offering a free drop off service right in Stittsville at Seabrook Floral Design & Gifts on Carp Road just north of Hazeldean Road. So you don’t have to package up your shoebox full of old photographs and mail or courier it to Sandra. Rather, simply drop it off at Seabrook Floral Design. Easy and convenient! More information about “Scan It Up” can be found at the website www.scanitup.com. In addition, Sandra Luty can be contacted by phone at 613-519-5244 or via email at sandra@scanitup.com .

Staying in Touch . . . and Market Update 2013 has been a year of milestones and changes. Canada’s overall economic heath has played a key role in keeping our housing market in balance. In Ottawa, overall unit sales are down slightly but the average price (for all type of homes) increased modestly at 1.7%.1 Locally, the market has been unpatterned, some months better than others. We definitely saw the supply of homes increase across the City. As of November 30th, 2013 year to date unit sales in Kanata and surrounding rural neighbourhoods (for all types of homes) decreased 4.1% as compared to the same period in 2012. Historically, the real estate market in Kanata, Stittsville and Ottawa has been quite stable but if the interest rates go up mid 2014, as predicted by CMHC2, then activity in the market place may be stronger in the first six months of the coming year. Please feel free to give me a call if you would like more details on the market, an evaluation of your home, guidance in preparing your home for market, or would simply like to stay in touch. 1 The Ottawa Real Estate Board, MLS® Sales by District & Area - RES & CON Property Classes, Year-to-Date up to November 2013 2 CMHC, Housing Market Outlook-Canada Edition - Date Release - Fourth Quarter 2013

Mayor’s Report REFLECTING ON THREE YEARS IN OFFICE By Jim Watson It is hard to believe that it has been just over three years since our Council began its term. The time has own by as my Council colleagues and I have tried our best to work together in a calm and professional manner to move the Ottawa forward on a number of fronts. As we begin the last year of our term, it is worth looking back on what we have accomplished so far. ) CAMPAIGNED IN ON A PROMISE TO LIMIT ANY ANNUAL TAX RATE INCREASE TO A MAXIMUM OF ) AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE BEAT THAT TARGET IN EACH SUCCESSIVE YEAR IN IN IN AND JUST FOR 7HILE CONTROLLING TAXES IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE THE necessary investments in the future of our city. We must constantly upgrade roads, sidewalks, sewers and water mains and at the same time provide the services that everyone demands each and every day – police, ďŹ re, paramedics, libraries, parks and recreation facilities and programming, public transit, fresh water, waste removal and recycling, and much more. We have found a balance to do just this and also maintain Ottawa’s strong credit ratings. Over the past three years we have had projects of all sizes get off the ground that taken together are beginning to transform our City for the better. We managed to freeze recreation fees for four years to beneďŹ t young and old across the city and we have invested in libraries across Ottawa. Brand new recreation facilities have been completed in Kanata and Orleans and another is under construction in Barrhaven to better SERVICE OUR GROWING COMMUNITIES )N ADDITION THE NEW 3ENSPLEX %AST will open in the fall of 2014 to bolster our city’s rink capacity for teams and skaters of all ages. On the larger scale, Lansdowne Park will open in the summer of 2014 replacing 26 acres of asphalt with a new urban PARK AND MIXED USE FACILITY THE CITY CAN BE PROUD We have invested $340 Million in road, sidewalk, bike lane, sewer and watermain infrastructure through our Ottawa on the Move program. This work has been disruptive for some but it is short-term pain for long-term gain and the more than 400 projects that are part of it will help bring our infrastructure and entire transportation system up to the level needed before the opening of our Light Rapid Transit system (LRT). The LRT is the single most important infrastructure project in our City since the digging of the Rideau Canal. After years of delay and false starts the mammoth $2.1 Billion 13km project is now under CONSTRUCTION WITH A lXED PRICE CONTRACT AND A ROUTE THAT WILL TRANSFORM the way people move around our city. We have secured a world-class consortium of companies to do the work and I know we are all looking forward to the Confederation Line’s completion in 2018. Lastly, we have taken several proactive steps over the last three years to improve the accountability of city council. We have appointed an Integrity Commissioner and implemented a Council Code of Conduct, set up both lobbyist and gift registries, and made it so that Council EXPENSES ARE POSTED ONLINE 4HIS PACKAGE OF INTEGRITY MEASURES HAS made us more accountable as elected ofďŹ cials and made us a leader in the province and Canada with regards to transparency at the municipal level. Most importantly, we did it because we wanted to, not because of scandal.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Even though the Depression was all around us, and money was as scarce as hen’s teeth, there always seemed to be enough to have many newspapers come into our house in Renfrew County. The Renfrew Mercury and the Ottawa Farm Journal came as regular as clock-work, and the Family Herald and Weekly Star was delivered by the mail man and had something in it of interest to everyone in the family. Every paper was read cover to cover. The Renfrew Mercury was a real farmer’s paper, with a spattering of social news, like who had visited who for afternoon tea, and of course, it was full of ads of the stores in Renfrew that were offering not-to-bemissed sales of the week, like long underwear for $1. The Ottawa Farm Journal was just that, a journal for farmers, but offered plenty of news about what was going on at Parliament Hill. The Family Herald and Weekly Star came from some far off place, and when it arrived in our mail box at the end of the lane, it was as exciting as getting the new issue of the Eaton’s catalogue. There were puzzles, pen pals to exchange letters with, a pattern Mother could send for 10 cents, and my favourite, a picture to be coloured with crayons. Every scrap of newspaper, once it had been read, was saved for another use. The papers were piled in the wood box beside the Findlay Oval at

Newspapers had many uses

the ready. The soot-covered lampshades on the coal oil lamps were cleaned with bunched up newspapers. I hated the feel and the sound, which reminded me of a piece of chalk rubbed the wrong way on the blackboard at Northcote School. It didn’t take long for the ďŹ rst wipe to turn the paper black as ink. By the third wipe, you could at last see inside the glass shade, and by then my hand and arm right up to the elbow were covered with soot. Newspapers were used to put a shine to the burners of the kitchen stove too. This was done when the ďŹ re had died down. Mother would take a blob of pork grease, dab it here and there on the lids, and with a big wad of newspaper, she would clean off the stove. The smell of singed grease would ďŹ ll the kitchen and the smell would stay in the house until the next time the stove was stoked and the remains of the grease burned away. And of course, Father couldn’t start the ďŹ re in the morning without a good supply of newspapers from the wood box. They were scrunched up, the kindling put on top, then the smaller blocks of wood, the papers lit, and the stove was set for the day. The well-read newspapers got a real workout every Saturday morning too. Once the oors had been scrubbed, papers were spread out to keep the oors as clean as pos-

sible for as long as possible, which wasn’t long once winter had set in. To save the braided mats from taking the brunt of the snow off our boots, several layers of newspapers were spread out on the mats at the door, and when they were sodden through, rolled up, tucked back into the wood box to dry out, and then fed into the Findlay Oval, where they sizzled and spit in the ďŹ re. It wasn’t unusual, if a pair of shoes came in the hand-me-down box from Aunt Lizzie that were too big, for a wad of newspaper to be crammed in the toes. My three brothers always used several thicknesses of newspaper folded tightly and placed under their felt innersoles to help keep their feet dry in the winter. Always, when the stove wasn’t covered with boiling pots, sizzling fry pans, and the white granite tea pot, sitting on the reservoir would be three or four bricks. When we were leaving the farm on a blistering cold day or night, the bricks were wrapped in thick layers of newspapers and then put at our feet in the cutter or sleigh to help keep us from freezing. We never had to just burn newspapers to get rid of them. There was a use for every one of them. Every newspaper that came into the house back in those Depression years went on to another life. It was recycling at its highest, long before the word was ever invented.

Baby it’s cold outside!

But it’s warm in here! Come to Bridlewood Trails - just for the winter. Make some new friends, stay warm and enjoy all the activities that Bridlewood has to offer. Fully Furnished Suites Available ~ Call 613-595-1116

I am proud of what this council has accomplished in our ďŹ rst three years of this term and I look forward to another great year in 2014. R0012496461-0109

Christmas concert Special to the News

News - The Christmas spirit got a great start at the Friends and Family Christmas Concert held by the Chapman Mills Sound Connection women’s barbershop chorus at the Stittsville United Church in Stittsville on Tuesday, Dec. 10. This spirit of the season was generated not only by the music, especially the seasonal music, at the concert and by an enthusiastic Christmas singalong which involved the nearly 200 people who attended the evening event but also by the post-show enjoyment by the crowd of the home baked snacks contributed by members of the Sound Connection chorus. The Christmas spirit was further enhanced by the generosity which both concert-goers and chorus members displayed thanks to the price of admission being a non-perishable food item that was then donated to the Stittsville Food Bank and also to the Barrhaven Food Cupboard. All in all, this Friends and Family Christmas Concert by the Chapman Mills Sound Connection was, for

those who attend and for the chorus members, a great way to start the Christmas season with its traditional focus on friendship and community spirit. The Chapman Mills Sound Connection is based in Barrhaven but does have a few Stittsville members. This women’s a cappella barbershop chorus under the direction of Karen Taylor is a competitive singing group which last year came within one and a half points of earning the right to compete in the Internationals in Orlando, Florida. This was considered extraordinary for a chorus that is only three years old. This winter the Chapman Mills Sound Connection will be competing against up to 16 other groups in the Area Competition of Harmony Inc. which is being held in Portland, Maine. For more information about the Chapman Mills Sound Connection chorus, please visit the website http:// soundconnection.yolasite.com/ .

News - A public meeting to discuss a proposed site plan for a mixed retail/ commercial/office development on Hazeldean Road between Iber Road and Fringewood Drive in Stittsville is being held on Wednesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. The site for this proposed development does not include a parcel of land at the southwest corner of Iber Road and Hazeldean Road which is a separate piece of property and long thought to be the site for a future gas station. What is included in the site for this proposed development is an Lshaped parcel at the southeast corner of Fringewood Drive and Hazeldean Road as well as a rectangular shaped parcel that has frontage on Iber Road. This Iber Road parcel abuts the city of Ottawa’s fire station no. 46 immediately to the south. The proposal calls for two one-storey retail buildings fronting on Hazeldean Road with the interior of the site to include four retail buildings – one a large format one with 3,619 square metres of space, one multi-tenant retail building and two 396 square metre retail buildings suitable for restaurants or banks. In addition, two buildings two storeys in height are proposed to front onto Iber Road, with one of the buildings having ground floor commercial space. The proposed site plan includes 434 on-site parking spaces as well as parking space for 64 bicycles. The site plan shows vehicular access to and from the site on Fringewood Drive, Hazeldean Road and Iber Road.

Councillor Scott Moffatt files nomination papers John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Incumbent city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt is seeking re-election in this year’s municipal election on Monday, Oct. 27. He handed in his nomination papers on Thursday, Jan. 2, the ďŹ rst day that the papers could be ďŹ led. This is what he did for the 2010 municipal election in which he was elected, ďŹ ling his nomination papers on the ďŹ rst day possible. In the 2010 municipal election, then-challenger Moffatt defeated incumbent council-

lor Glen Brooks to win the Rideau-Goulbourn seat on council. Moffat had run in the 2006 municipal election as well but was unsuccessful. On the current Ottawa city council, councillor Moffatt is serving as vice-chair of the environment committee and vice-chair of the information technology sub-committee. He also sits on council’s transportation committee and its agricultural and rural affairs committee. In addition, he has other duties related to his councillor position. He is on the development corporation dealing with Dickinson Square

in Manotick, represents city council on the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and is on the board of the Pineview golf course which the city has been operating. Councillor Moffatt is running for re-election as he sees the job of being a city councillor as being more than a four year position in that he wants to see things through. For instance, he wants to continue to be voicing the concerns of Richmond residents about the subdivisions proposed for the western development lands in Richmond. He says that he has made a commitment to the RideauGoulbourn residents that he

Councillor looks forward to 2014 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt sees 2014 as being a year of monitoring two large city projects while also try to move proposed development in Richmond forward while respecting the concerns of village residents. He says that making sure the LRT (Light Rail Transit) project stays on track and that the Lansdowne re-development project is completed are two items on his 2014 agenda. But also important is how the proposed subdivisions on the western development lands in Richmond move forward, calling it the biggest issue facing Richmond residents.

These proposed subdivisions in the western development lands in Richmond have now been appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board as the city and the developers could not reach agreement on the developments. Councillor Moffatt says that the concerns of Richmond residents about these proposed developments have been the same for years now: ood plain and drainage issues, sewer and water services and in particular who will pay for upgrades to the sewer system, and the impact on the existing community. Councillor Moffatt is hopeful that between now and the OMB hearing which may be several months away, that the city, working with the Richmond Village Association and local residents, will try to work with the developers to try to resolve the

Moffatt says that he tries to learn from opportunities that may have been missed and try to make sure that they do not happen again. There are also successes that make the job worthwhile. For instance, this year he got satisfaction from seeing Ottawa Street from Eagleson Road to McBean Street re-paved at long last. “You want to think you can continue to be effective,� he says about his role as the ward councillor and his decision to seek re-election, noting that as a councillor he will try to continue to work to improve the communities that he represents.

represents and this means staying on the job. He says that a councillor has to commit to more than one term or else you can’t properly represent the people that you serve. That’s because a councillor is always learning. “I think you are always learning,� he says, gaining knowledge about how to work through the city’s bureaucracy to get the answers to concerns or to solve a problem. He says that now, after three years on the job, he knows who to go to in the bureaucracy to get an answer or solve a problem. In addition, councillor

concerns surrounding these proposed subdivisions. As far as 2014 in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward is concerned pertaining to road projects, the only signiďŹ cant road re-paving in the Goulbourn area will be the re-paving of MansďŹ eld Road from Conley Road west to Munster Road and the re-paving of all three roads (Willowlea, Westbrooke and Walgreen) in the Reed Industrial Park off Carp Road just south of highway 417. There are other road projects in the Rideau section of the ward such as re-paving some streets in North Gower and re-paving Rideau Valley Drive through Kars. Councillor Moffatt is concerned about Shea Road north of Richmond and Ottawa Street west of the Jock River. However, both are not in any city plans up to the year 2017 but councillor Moffatt would like to see something done for these two roads and will be trying to make something happen.

Country Club Village Historical Society road will be built but... Special to the News

Area OK’d for houses Special to the News

News - The village of Richmond now has another possible area for new residential development. In the recently approved updating of the city of Ottawa’s OfďŹ cial Plan, the lands south of Ottawa Street between Eagleson Road and McBean Street which up until now have been designated for industrial development are now available for residential development as well. Some of the lands are still reserved for industrial development or employment lands for future job creation in the village but the rest of the lands are now available for residential development. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt who worked with the landowners involved to help facilitate this change, believes that these lands are the most attractive area in Richmond for new residential development. He points out that residential development in these lands would have no adverse impact on trafďŹ c in the village due to the proximity of Eagleson Road and the nearby highway 416. He notes as well that there are no water drainage concerns, unlike with the western development lands where storm water drainage and elevation concerns prevail. Councillor Moffatt admits, though, that there are still concerns regarding the extension of sanitary sewer services to these lands south of Ottawa Street. But all in all, he feels that it is a more positive spot for future residential development in the village than the western development lands. And while the OfďŹ cial Plan now will allow residential development on these lands, they will still have to be sold to a developer before any plans for their residential development go forward to the city of Ottawa.

News - The end of the road is in sight for the long-awaited new road linking Country Club Village and the Canadian Golf and Country Club with Jinkinson Road and a more direct route to Stittsville and beyond. It’s now just a matter of when this will happen. “At this point I can guarantee it’s going to get built,â€? city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt says. But then he quickly adds that he just cannot guarantee when this will happen. It was in late 2012 that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment approved the construction of this road running parallel to the new four-lane highway seven that will join Jinkinson Road with Golf Club Way, creating a direct east/west route between the Canadian Golf and Country Club and Country Club Village and points to the east including Hazeldean Road, Stittsville and beyond. At present trafďŹ c to and from the Canadian Golf and Country Club and Country Club Village must use Golf Club Way and Dwyer Hill Road and

then either highway seven or Fernbank Road for access. The Ontario Ministry of the Environment approval came with seven conditions, one of which was the requirement that the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) give its approval to the road project since it will go through wetland. This RVCA approval has not yet been given. Councillor Moffatt is optimistic that the RVCA approval will eventually be forthcoming for the project. In the meantime, he says that in 2014 city staff will be working on the design of the new road and how to meet the conditions mandated by the Ministry of the Environment in its approval for the project. Councillor Moffatt notes that $1.6 million for construction of the road has been included in the city budget and that these funds will be available when the road project meets all of the conditions and goes ahead. “The road will be built,� councillor Moffatt states. He notes that construction of this road was the big issue in that area of his ward at the time of the 2010 municipal election.

News - Road and infrastructure renewal projects happened in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward in 2013. Road projects included the re-paving of Ottawa Street in Richmond from McBean Street east to Eagleson Road. City of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt was also happy that this Ottawa Street re-paving project included the repaving of a portion of King Street in Richmond as well. He also notes that a number of streets in Ashton village were re-surfaced in 2013. A major infrastructure renewal project in Richmond in 2013 was the replacement of the concrete ice slab at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena. Councillor Moffatt notes that while this was a major renewal capital project that was necessary, it may not be visibly obvious to many, although it does ensure that the ice at the Richmond arena will remain among the best in city arenas. Councillor Moffatt says that the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park and the beginning of construction of the LRT (Light Rail Transit) project are both projects of 2013 that have city-wide interest and impact. Councillor Moffatt admits that the casino debate by Ottawa city council did not go

his way in the beginning when he was on the losing end of a 19-5 vote regarding the Rideau Carleton Raceway but he admits that in the end this issue worked out the way he wanted with the city opting ultimately to support the Rideau Carleton Raceway as the city’s preferred site for a casino. Councillor Moffatt had been an early supporter of preserving gambling at the Rideau Carleton Raceway. Councillor Moffatt notes that 2013 brought forth in the Rideau-Goulbourn ward several issues that were really provincial or federal issues but which had an impact on ward residents and hence involved local politicians. One is the proposed wind farm development near North Gower which falls under provincial jurisdiction. However, local concerns brought forth city council action in which council has asked the province for more input into the process of the location of wind farms. Another similar issue which falls under federal jurisdiction but which impacts local residents is the proposed Energy East pipeline which would run through the Rideau-Goulbourn ward including just west of both Richmond and North Gower. Councillor Moffat expects more consultation from TransCanada Pipelines about this project in the future.

He says that a major concern of local residents is the emergency response strategy and plan if a spill were to happen along this proposed oil pipeline in the area. The Carp Road landfill issue is another matter that while approval of any new landfill at the site falls under provincial jurisdiction, the city has an interest since residents in the area are impacted by such a new landfill. Councillor Moffatt is disappointed that the provincial government, in approving the Environmental Assessment for the new landfill, did not adopt any of the recommended conditions which the city and local ward councillors had submitted. He said that the city was hoping that the province would incorporate some of these conditions in its approval of the project. But this was not the case. “They did nothing,” councillor Moffatt said with regard to the proposals put forward by the city about this new landfill. Councillor Moffatt notes that there are still site plan and rezoning issues to be resolved regarding this new landfill and he is hopeful that the city will be able to work with Waste Management, proponent of the new landfill, in addressing some of the city’s concerns through resolution of these site plan and rezoning matters.

And the Richmond arena ended up as topping the list with a reading of minus four degrees Celsius at rink side and minus 3.5 degrees Celsius at the top of the stands. The heaters for the stands were not turned on at the time and the temperature outside that night, which was Dec. 16, was minus 21 degrees Celsius. CBC News used a digital thermometer for its testing. Two readings were taken in each arena tested, one at the top row of the stands between the bluelines and another while standing in a corner next to the ice surface.

Mark Sullivan from Home Instead Senior Care and Ken Miller from Golden Age Concierge will both be present at the “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” on Monday, Jan. 13 to talk about the services that they offer to enable seniors to stay in their own homes longer. All seniors are welcome to attend this free event that will begin at 10 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 13 and run to 11:30 a.m. And, like always, there will be more than just the two presentations. Those attending will be able to enjoy coffee and home baked sweets as well as some enjoyable conversation and socializing. It’s all happening on Monday, Jan. 13 starting at 10 a.m. at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville (right beside the Stittsville post office). Home Instead Senior Care provides in-home senior care with compassionate caregivers ready to help seniors live independently at home. There’s no place like home and Home Instead Senior Care was created to help seniors remain safely in the comfort of their own home. Home Instead Senior Care provides non-medical services such as companionship while at work, help with groceries and errands, a helping hand with household chores or even a reminder to take medications. There’s also meal preparation, light housekeeping and other services that can be provided, including respite care. And all of these services can be customized to fit your specific circumstances. Golden Age Concierge tries to serve the needs of seniors living primarily in the communities of west Ottawa including Stittsville and Goulbourn. The goal of Golden Age Concierge is to allow seniors to enjoy their retirement years while maintaining their independence. Golden Age Concierge is willing to provide virtually any service required to assist seniors in their living. This includes appointments and errands, transportation, home monitoring services, pet services and more.

Double lung transplant recipient at South Carleton John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Turn a negative thing into a positive, double lung transplant recipient Helene Campbell told students at South Carleton High School in Richmond during a fall visit there. Speaking to students in civics class in which students dealt with issues that people care about such as homelessness, violence against women and child soldiers, she reinforced for them the issue of organ and tis-

sue donations in Canada, namely that more people need to register as donors in order to meet the demand. Registration can be done online at beadonor.ca. Helene, who is now 22 years old, told the students that her experience in being a double lung transplant recipient has shown her how to be positive even when facing serious medical problems. She said that she knows that negative things happen in the school environment but she urged the students to think about how they can make

things better, not dwell on the negative. For instance, she said, don’t complain about a low mark but look upon it as an opportunity to take steps to improve. Helene reminded the students that they can take actions to make the world a better place, such as volunteering or improving the environment. She reminded the students that people tend to take so much for granted such as just being able to breathe normally, something which

she could not do before her transplant because of her deteriorating lung function. She said that a positive attitude allows you to help others and helps you realize how priceless life is. It was student Kalen Bucknell who developed a presentation on the issue of organ and tissue donations and who invited Helene Campbell to be part of the presentation. He knows Helene through his father who launched the website alongstory.ca in support of Helene’s battle to encourage more organ and tissue donors. Helene’s story goes back to Oct. 2011 when she was diagnosed with advanced idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and needed a double lung transplant. She had to move to Toronto in January where such lung transplants are done. In late March, her conditions was deteriorating with her lung functions getting less and less. She became a “high risk patient” and received a double lung transplant at the Toronto General Hospital on April 6, 2012. It was Helene’s advocacy for increasing awareness of the need for organ and tissue donors that brought her to not only local but national and

international prominence. In Jan. 2012, she tweeted singing idol Justin Bieber about the issue. When Justin Bieber re-tweeted her campaign to his Twitter followers, over 2,000 people in Ontario alone registered to be organ donors. In March 2012, Helene appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show via Skype, again to encourage people to be organ and tissue donors and give people like her a chance at a healthy life. This also had an impact on the numbers signing up to be donors. In May, 2012, Helene received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal from Prime Minister Stephen Harper in recognition of her efforts in raising awareness of organ donation. An organ and tissue donor can save up to eight lives through the donation of organs and tissue at death. There are also living donors in that both the kidney and liver can be donated by a living donor. A person has two kidneys and can live normally with just one. A liver will re-grow so that part of a liver can be donated and the donor will continue to live a healthy life as will the person receiving the donated organ.

GM leads the way in

choosing a new CEO

Biondo, General Motors’ Global Vehicle Security lead. “With new standard features and the available theft protection package, we are making the all-new 2015 Tahoe a less attractive target to thieves and more secure for our customers.” If a 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is stolen, the standard equipment OnStar (GM’s communication system) can help. Stolen Vehicle Assistance consisting of Stolen Vehicle Location, Stolen Vehicle Slowdown and Remote Ignition Block all can assist law enforcement in stolen vehicle location and recovery.

Mary Barra, 51, executive vice president, Global Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain, was elected by the board of directors to become the next CEO of General Motors. Barra will also join the GM Board. She thus becomes the first woman to head a multinational auto manufacturer. Mary was named senior VP, global product development in February, 2011 and was responsible for the design, engineering, program management and quality of GM vehicles around the world.

In 1990, Barra graduated with a Masters in Business Administration from the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She began her career with GM in 1980 as a General Motors Institute (Kettering University) coop student at the Pontiac Motor Division. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering. She serves on the General Dynamics and Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute Board of Directors. Barra is also a member of the Kettering University Board of Trustees and is GM’s Key Executive for Stanford University and University of California-Berkeley.

2015 Tahoe Beefs Up Security Customers of the 2015 Chevrolet fullsized SUV, the Tahoe will get a vehicle that offers a new level of security and one designed to deter thieves who target vehicle parts. New standard features include a steering column lock that deters push-away and tow-away theft ( a significant portion of today’s stolen vehicle incidents), side cut keys that deter lock picking, and more robust door lock cylinders and shields to prevent access with slim-jims and other tools. Also new in this and other GM models is hidden storage, such as a compartment behind the available infotainment screen accessible by electronic code. “We have engineered a layered approach to vehicle security,” said Bill

2014 Spark Receives Top Safety Pick Award

The 2014 Chevrolet Spark is a Top Safety Pick in its first year of eligibility, and is the only vehicle in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) mini-car segment to earn the rating in 2014 model year testing.

the fuel tank near full will reduce the likelihood of gasoline or diesel condensation problems and will add extra weight for improved traction and handling. Please remember posted speed limits are for optimal road and weather conditions only and extra time should be factored in to any winter trek.

With this time of increased travel, busy highways, and less than ideal weather and road conditions, the Benson team wants to remind everyone to plan ahead for trips no matter what the distance. Take extra time to clear all vehicle windows, exterior lights and surfaces of snow and ice. Make sure your auto has plenty of washer uid, winter tires, and an emergency roadside kit. Pack cargo, luggage, and gifts with care, because, in the event of a collision, anything loose in the passenger compartment can become a fast-moving projectile which can cause injury. Keeping

Your automotive needs are always on the top of the Benson Group’s list and their outlets’ experts will make sure that you have the right part at the right time for the best price available.

News - Stittsville United Church is hoping to have a team of youth and adults travel to Nicaragua to help out there in 2015. It would be in partnership with Companeros Inc., a Nicaraguan-based organization which organizes international volunteer programs to work on community development projects in Nicaragua. Since 2001, Companeros has involved 1,054 participants in 149 community projects in Nicaragua, benefitting more than 12,000 people. These participants have included not only those from Stittsville United Church but also students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School who partnered with Companeros last year and will be doing so again this coming February. Companeros has host families with whom visiting volunteers stay while working on community development projects. Previous projects have including installing a waste water

system, building homes, developing a library at an elementary school, and painting murals, all in an area of Managua which is the capital of Nicaragua. Planned projects for 2014 include constructing 30 houses, doing three murals and installing a water system. Companeros have established a number of connections in the Stittsville community, not only with Stittsville United Church and Sacred Heart Catholic High School but also with the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. Indeed, Gonzalo Duarte, president of Companeros Inc., says that the triad of connections which Companeros has in Stittsville is unique. There are other communities where Companeros has established two connections but there is no other place in Ontario where Companeros maintains three such connections as in Stittsville. Mr. Duarte was in Stittsville this past fall, speaking at a Rotary Club meeting, at Sacred Heart High School and at the Stittsville United Church, giving an update on Companeros projects in Nicaragua and promoting interest in future trips.

Huntmar Drive stone farm home dates back to 1887 Glen Gower

Special to the News

0307.R0011949739

News - With the coming of 2014, a heritage stone farm home on Huntmar Drive between the Fairwinds community and the Canadian Tire Centre is entering the 127th year since it was built. Its future is uncertain in some respects, although the city of Ottawa has entered into an agreement with the current owner that while the municipality has not proceeded with heritage designation for the building, city staff and the owner will consult on the proposed future development of the 14 acre site. In addition, the owner is to maintain and secure the building to ensure its preservation and has agreed that no application for demolition of the building will be submitted to the city without giving six weeks prior written notice, giving the city time to formally designate the building under the Ontario Heritage Act. In addition, the building is being added to the city of Ottawa’s heritage register. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, in whose ward the stone farm home is located, has indicated that the city’s goal is to integrate the stone farm house with any new development on the site. The site is designated as a mixed use centre, allowing buildings up to six storeys in height. But it is the building’s past which is more intriguing. Indeed, the site itself has a history that goes back to 1822 which is in the earliest years of settlement in the area. John Burroughs settled on the site, formally the north half of lot one, concession one of Huntley township, in 1822, raising a family of six while farming there for 50 years. The Carleton County Fire of August, 1870, which swept through the area and was particularly devastating in this area that now flanks Maple Grove Drive between Stittsville and Kanata, destroyed the original log home of the Burroughs family. Two years later, in Sept. 1872, James Burroughs and his wife Sarah Jane (nee Alexander) sold the property to James Boyd for $4,000, comprised of $2,000 down

It is noteworthy that a witness to this transaction was Nicholas Sparks who was the Burroughs family lawyer and apparently a business partner of John Burroughs. After the sale, the Burroughs family moved to Manitoba. But now it was the Boyd family whose name was associated with the property and who eventually had the stone farm house that still stands on the property built. James Boyd married Jane Bradley, daughter of Jacob and Nancy Bradley, on Dec. 22, 1875. James, who was the son of Alexander and Margaret Boyd of Huntley Township, had been born in 1845 while his bride was a year younger, having been born in 1846. James and Jane Boyd raised a family of five on the property, five girls and two boys. The

girls were Margaret Ann, Mabel McGellan, Gertrude Beatrice, Ida Theressa and Elsie Jane while the boys, the two youngest children, were William James and Alexander Byron. It was in 1887, 12 years after the Boyds’ marriage, that the stone farm house was built on the property. It was built by a Scottish mason who worked on several buildings in the area. Its light grey limestone was quarried at a site near the present-day Rona Building Supplies store on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. Built in a Gothic Revival style, the stone walls of the house are 16 inches thick, with the floors featuring pine planking. A city of Ottawa heritage report on the stone farm home notes that “the rough cut limestone walls are accented with white wooden trim that includes pendants, bargeboard and brackets on

the front veranda. The house also features stone quoins, decorative chimneys and segmental arched windows with stone voussoirs and window sills. These houses were published in pattern books that were widely available throughout the province.” A log barn was built on the property using charred lumber reclaimed from the log home that had been destroyed in the Carleton County Fire of 1870. This log barn was recently demolished after surviving on the site through the decades. A large barn was built on the property in 1901 which also was just recently demolished. The barn featured a small dome-like structure or cupola on its roof. Jane Boyd died in 1914 while her husband James “Jimmy” Boyd died in 1916. Both are buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery on the Carp Road. The property at what is now 173 Huntmar Drive was farmed by their descendants until the 1970’s when Lyman James Boyd severed and sold it. Eventually the home and property was purchased by the Doutriaux family who restored the barns and put an addition on the house, living there for about 30 years until 2011. The Doutriaux family donated about 50 artifacts from the stone farm house to the Goulbourn Museum including iron pulleys, a carriage box, a child’s sled, a minnow bucket, an iron wheel, a blue painted wood shelving unit, a paper dispenser, a hay lift fork, painted green milk cans, pots and pans, buckets, a mini cast iron electric fireplace, tea cups, electrical insulators, cigarette boxes and glass bottles. The house was not being occupied and was being vandalized when current owner Bob Karam applied for a demolition permit for it last September. This prompted the city’s reaction that the house be given a heritage designation, all of which led to the current agreement between the city and property owner about preserving and maintaining the house on the site and its possible incorporation into any future development there.

News - Usually Santa Claus is accompanied by an elf when he pays his annual visit to the Christmas gathering of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. But this year, Santa Claus himself was unable to work the Rotary Club event into his schedule. However, he did send an elf to the event which was held at the Stittsville (Villa) Retirement Community on Tuesday morning, Dec. 17. And the elf kept busy while there, receiving Santa’s belle from young James Peacock who had been given them at last year’s gathering on

the understanding that he would take care of them through the year. Well, he did and he was there to hand them back to the elf. This year these bells were given to Tiara Michalski who is now looking after the bells until the 2014 Christmas gathering in far-away December. Youngsters who were at this Rotary Christmas gathering included not only James Peacock and Tiara Michalski but also Jessica Bell and Andrew Peacock. Santa’s elf also visited with Rotary Club past president Carolyn Clark who was standing in at this gathering for current Club president Alfredo Patricio who was absent on business.

News - Here’s some tidbits about the Boyd stone farm house at 173 Huntmar Drive between the Fairwinds community and the Canadian Tire Centre: In the 1960’s, the Boy farm had Jersey cows, Clydesdale horses and chickens. There was electricity in the barn in the 1940’s before there was electricity in the house. Water for the house even into the 1960’s was

pumped from a cistern in the cellar. The house had two sets of stairs – the front stairs and also a set of back stairs. The Boyd family tradition was to cook a goose for Christmas dinner. This was the only time during the year that a goose would be cooked. There used to be a white picket fence on the north side of the house. This Boyd house is one of about seven similar heritage stone houses that are in the area. A mystery headstone belonging to a Walter Holmes was found on the Boyd property.

41 teams in oldtimers hockey tournament Special to the News

Sports - Fifty games involving 41 teams playing in seven divisions. That was the 2014 annual Laidlaw Rangers Oldtimers Hockey Tournament staged in Stittsville from Thursday, Jan. 2 through Sunday, Jan. 5. The older divisions played on Thursday, Jan. 2 and Friday, Jan. 3 during the day while the younger divisions played in the evenings on these two days. The finals for the older divisions took place on Saturday morning while the finals for the younger divisions happened on Sunday. The tournament had an international tone as there was one team from Syracuse, New York in the United States. Other teams include those from Brockville, Westport, Montreal, Kingston, Shawville and Trenton. Team names varied from the Bytown Briggand to the Old Smoothies to the Brockville Magedoma to the RA Dark Horses to the Fontaic Fossils to the Onimkee Lightning to the PWL Pylons to the Glen Cairn Motley Crew to the Westport Wreliks to the Rink Rats to the Glen Walter Knights to the Kingston Leftovers to the Verona Fly Girls to the Shoeless Joes to the Jager Bombs. The names themselves made it an interesting tournament! The 30 Plus Molson X Division and the 55 Plus Coors Division both attracted eight teams, so there was both an “A” side and a “B” side for these divisions. All of the other five divisions went by points, with a champion and runner-up declared. In the 65 and over division, which had six teams, the Fallen Heroes from Ottawa were the champions, defeating the Old Smoothies from Ottawa 3-1 in the final. In the 60 and over division, which attracted three teams, the Old Smoothies from Embrun defeated the RA Dark Horses from Ottawa 31 in the final game. In the 55 Plus Coors division,

which had eight teams entered, the Athens Red Wings were the A champions, beating Slime from Kanata 5-1 in the final game. The “A” side consolation champions were the Kingston Leftovers who defeated the Rink Rats from Renfrew 2-1 in the final game. On the “B” side of the 55 Plus Coors Division, the Cornwall Sea Valley Blades beat the Westport Relics 3-0 to win the “B” side championship. The “B” side consolation champions were the Glen Walter Knights from Cornwall, 3-2 victors over the Mooseheads from Kanata in the final game. In the 50 Plus Canadian division, the Hawkesbury Hawks were the champions with Bradley’s & Associates from Kanata as the runner-up. The Hawks defeated Bradley’s 3-1 in the final in this division which had four teams in it. In the 40 Plus Carling division, which attracted six teams, the Open Roads team from Renfrew emerged as champions in a shootout, defeating the Friday Night Flyers from Richmond. The ladies division attracted six teams, with the Jager Bombs from Brockville emerging as champions, defeating Team Fauna from Montreal 3-0 in the final. In the 30 Plus Molson X division, which had eight teams entered, the “A” side championship went to the Main Street Pub team from the Stittsville Town League. Main Street Pub shut out the Roadrunners 8-0 in the final. Corey Laurysen and Jason Foran led the Main Street Pub with two goals each. They also both picked up two assists. Matt Sterling, Ryan Sterling, Adam Dewar and Craig Bagshaw scored the other goals for Main Street Pub in this championship game. Corey Loverock earned two assists while single assists went to Matt Sterling, Ryan Sterling, Adam Dwar, Steve McJannet and Ian Shannon.

Les Boys from Gatineau were the “A” side consolation champions, defeating the Olde Stock Ale team from Ottawa 1-0 in the “A” side consolation final. On the “B” side in this 30 Plus Molson X Division, the Shawville Pontiac emerged as champions, beating the Carleton Ravens in the “B” side championship game. The Kegs from Ottawa won the “B” side consolation championship, beating Westport 8-5 in the final game. There was more than just the on ice action at this annual Laidlaw

Rangers Hockey Tournament this year. There was a silent auction held, offering a Molson’s bar fridge, Ottawa Senators hockey tickets in a suite with dinner for two for the Sens Feb. 6 game against Buffalo Sabres, a Team Canada ladies hockey jersey, a Stanley Cup-shaped electric popcorn maker, a Howitzer hockey stick and two Hockey Life gift certificates. In addition, there was a draw for a one-of-a-kind limited edition print of the Old Timers Maple Leafs signed by three former Maple Leaf players, namely Red Kelly, Johnny Bower

and Bobby Baun. Holder of the winning ticket in this draw was Johnny Leroux of Stittsville. This annual Laidlaw Rangers Hockey Tournament, organized by Robert Mulder, is played at both the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex arena. Sponsors of this year’s oldtimers tournament include Stittsville Main Street Pub, Molsons, the Crazy Horse Stonegrill Steakhouse and Saloon, East Side Mario’s, realtor Mike Robinson, and investment advisory Marc Steenbakkers.

‘Be Your Best’ in action

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It was a taste tasting experience that gave everyone the flavour and feeling of it all. As Jennifer Lea Laale, founder and director of the “Be Your Best� confidence building performing arts program told parents, grandparents and siblings at the program’s pre-Christmas wrap-up event, they would be getting a real taste of what the youngsters do at their weekly sessions. And they got this “real taste� by participating themselves in some of the activities that the youngsters do and take part in at their weekly sessions, all meant to give them not only a foundation in the dramatic arts but also to develop their life skills such as communication and empathy. It all happened on Thursday, Dec. 5 in the basement hall at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville which is where Ms. Lea Laale began offering her “Be Your Best� performing arts program this past fall. It is a program which has seen success in other communities like Almonte and Carleton Place which she wanted to introduce to Stittsville youth. She offered two ten-week sessions this past fall, one for those aged 6 to 10 years old and another for those aged 11 to 15 years old. The motto for the program is “Think Positive, Act Kindly, Be All Your Can Be, While Having Fun.� But Ms. Lea Laale was going to explain and demonstrate the program to the visiting parents and grandparents and siblings not with performances by the youngsters but rather by getting all these visitors up and taking part in activities that the youngsters have been doing in their sessions. So, you had empty seats but a performance space filled with bodies, both young and older, as Ms. Lea Laale took everyone through a series of activities, all geared to develop dramatic talents while also developing character. There was “Walking Body Parts,� in which everyone had to walk around the hall with one body part emphasized. This, by the way, is a way to develop a dramatic character. You had walking with knees pronounced. Then there was emphasis on the nose; the hips and more, all

done with the idea of thinking about what kind of character would walk like that. And on it went, with different activities like this. Partnerships were formed and one person had to move the other around the hall with the other having their eyes closed. In another partner activity, one partner would assume an odd position and the partner would have to determine the form through feel with eyes closed and then replicate it. And there was an activity geared to make your partner look good which Ms. Lea Laale said is the most important lesson to learn for improv. Or what about teaming up with a partner to speak the same thing at the same time, requiring a person to talk slowly enough so that the partner can say the same thing. Very slow words resounded throughout the basement hall from this activity. So it went, ending with a final activity, “The Family Portrait,� with youngsters striking poses on different themes like “Rock ‘n Roll Stars, “Evil Villains Taking Over the World,� “Exotic Birds� and “Monkeys,� among others. They would get several seconds to strike the pose and then things would be frozen – a portrait in time. The youngsters then finished up with various performances, with the younger group dancing, singing or acting in groups and with the older group performing a series of pantomime skits. The older group ended by taking part in a hitchhiker improv routine with Ms. Lea Laale. So this was much more than just a performance review to wrap up the fall session of the “Be Your Best� performing arts program in Stittsville. It gave the parents and grandparents who attended a real taste of the activities done by the youngsters in the sessions and how they are meant to release the child from fears that restrict them from being all that they can be. They are like building blocks that help construct a confident child. Ms. Lea Laale will be offering more sessions of her “Be Your Best� performing arts program in Stittsville from this February through May. The 12-week program will end with a special performance event which will also involve the students from her Carleton Place and Almonte programs.

Some disappointments for councillor in 2013 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri saw some disappointments in 2013. One of these was the casino debate engaged in by city council. Councillor Qadri still feels that there is room for two casinos in the city of Ottawa, one at the Rideau Carleton Raceway but also one at Canadian Tire Place to serve the west end and the Ottawa Valley area. He notes that the Canadian Tire Centre enjoys good access via highway 417 and a network of local roads and that a casino there could help that area become a hub for entertainment in Ottawa’s west end, noting that it already attracts thousands of fans for Ottawa Senators games and other special events there. Councillor Qadri says that he is still going to push for a casino at Canadian Tire Centre. Councillor Qadri also admits to disappointment with regard to the proposed expansion of the Carp Road landfill area. He feels that the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, which approved the Environmental Assessment for the new landfill, totally ignored the city’s input regarding the project by not including any of the conditions which the city council had asked be included with any approval. One of these conditions was limiting the area from which waste for the new landfill could come to the city of Ottawa and a “good neighbour� zone around the city. He labels the

fact that none of the city’s suggested conditions for approval of the new landfill were accepted by the province as a “disappointment�. Councillor Qadri labels the extended closure of the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex not necessarily as a “disappointment� but as an “inconvenience� to residents of the community. The pool has been shut down for major renovation and maintenance work to remove mould and to install a new ventilation system that was originally slated for next year. The pool is to re-open at the end of June this year. Councillor Qadri says that the opening of the pool at the new Kanata North Recreation Complex in Kanata in early December has helped somewhat in meeting the demand for a swimming facility for Stittsville residents. Councillor Qadri acknowledges that a review of the city’s Transportation Master Plan resulted in bus rapid transit for the Kanata West and Fernbank lands being put off more into the future. However, he notes that the Transportation Master Plan is reviewed every five years and the next review in five years’ time may return this proposed bus rapid transit service to an earlier date. He notes that the Transportation Master Plan review did result in the widening of Fernbank Road between Terry Fox Drive and Stittsville being included in the plan for the first time. It is not to be done soon but now it is in the Transportation Master Plan and so will become a city of Ottawa project at some point in the future. Councillor Qadri is also enthusiastic about the work being done by the Intensification Im-

of driveways to accommodate more parking. Councillor Qadri feels that this group is making progress as it has councillors, city staff and developers all at the table, discussing these issues. The goal is for the group to come up with innovative ideas that will make for a better quality of life in suburban growth areas.

plementation Working Group on which he sits which is studying how intensification should be applied in suburban areas. This can include the city’s streetscaping policy which calls for a tree to be planted for each housing unit even if it might block out sunlight to the house as it grows to the city’s rules regarding the widening

Goulbourn Male Chorus welcoming new members John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Perhaps it’s a New Year’s resolution or perhaps it’s a long held desire. Or perhaps it’s just a recent whim. Whatever the reason, if you have a desire to try you hand at singing with a male chorus, now is the time to contact the Goulbourn Male Chorus. Because, right now, the chorus is looking for new members in order both to grow and also to maintain membership as some members depart for one reason or another. Indeed, the Goul-

bourn Male Chorus is desperately in need of 1st tenors. Tenors are the highest of the male voice types. But it is not only 1st tenors who are being sought. Baritones, bass singers and 2nd tenors are also most welcome. And this is a great time to consider joining the Goulbourn Male Chorus because the 2014 spring term will be beginning this coming Tuesday, Jan. 14. So you will not have missed anything and will be able to enjoy the full spring term which runs through to the May long weekend.

This will include weekly rehearsals on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Being a member of the Goulbourn Male Chorus provides the opportunity not only to experience the joy of making music through the medium of traditional male chorus singing but also the opportunity to socialize with a group of like-interested men from the community. The only musical requirement to become a member is an ability to match pitch, blend and sing a designated voice part in this four-part male chorus. Choral experience and basic sight reading skills are an asset but not an absolute requirement. Goulbourn Male Chorus music director Robert Dueck will spend some one-on-one time at the piano with anyone interested in joining. This will give him the opportunity to become more familiar with the new member and to lead some vocal exercises to assist with determining vocal range and the appropriate male chorus voice part. There is a membership fee to be a member of the Goulbourn Male Chorus. This is required to assist with operating costs. The Goulbourn Male Chorus does perform at events of community organizations, at retirement residences and at two main concerts, one

before Christmas and one in the spring. Performance attire consists of a long sleeved white shirt, black dress pants, black socks and shoes and an Ontario tartan tie. The Goulbourn Male Chorus is a community-based chorus made up of men from Goulbourn township and surrounding communities. The chorus is under the direction of its founder, Robert Dueck of Stittsville, who has directed numerous community and church choices, giving him a wide variety of music experience. Bonnie MacDiarmid is the accompanist for the Goulbourn Male Chorus. Members of the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Male Chorus are Rory MacDiarmid as president, Doug Hall as vice-president, Leo Mevel as treasurer, John Hunter as secretary, and Laurisse Huijer and Rene Normandin as members at large. The repertoire for the Goulbourn Male Chorus consists of traditional male chorus selections, both secular and sacred, as well as spirituals, folk songs, ballads and other selections. The Goulbourn Male Chorus had its first rehearsal in Sept. 2010 with 12 men in attendance. It has since grown to over 30 members but it wants to maintain or increase this number and hence it is seeking new members. The website of the Goulbourn Male Chorus can be found at www.goulbournmalechorus. com . The Goulbourn Male Chorus can be contacted by email at goulbournmalechorus.gmail. com .

Municipal election on Oct. 27 Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Ottawa citizens won’t go to the polls until Monday, Oct. 27, but the 2014 municipal election is already underway. The last municipal election in 2010 amounted to something of a housecleaning. Ten new faces appeared around the council horseshoe and six incumbents lost their bids for re-election. In addition to 20 candidates for mayor, a total of 110 people vied for 23 council seats. Turnout in the last election was down: 44 per cent of eligible voters, or 269,547 people, cast ballots, compared to 55 per cent in the prior election in 2006. Nominations opened Jan. 2 and will continue until Sept. 12, which is also the final day nominations can be withdrawn. Anyone age 18 or older can run in the election if: * They are a resident of Ottawa or an owner or tenant of land in the city. Spouses of landowners and tenants are also eligible. * They are a Canadian citizen who is not prohibited from voting by law. A candidate must file nomination papers in person or by an agent acting on his or her behalf. The signed hard copy must be filed at the elections office at city hall or at any city client service centre. There is a $200 fee to run for mayor and a $100 cost to file a nomination for city councillor or school board trustee. Councillors each earned $93,999 in 2013, while the mayor’s salary was $168, 102. 40 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, January 9, 2014

In addition to the mayor’s seat and council positions for all 23 wards, school board trustees for the four local school boards (public and Catholic English and French boards) will also be elected. Any candidates who are unchallenged will be acclaimed on Sept. 15 after 4 p.m. Nomination papers and all other election information – including a list of nominated candidates – can be found at ottawa. ca/vote. The qualifications for candidates are the same as for electors: you must be a Canadian citizen at least 18 years old who is not prohibited by law from voting, and you must be an owner or tenant of land in Ottawa or the spouse of someone who is. The city’s voter list is compiled with information from the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation. It can be viewed at the city hall elections office or any city client service centre, where you can also fill out an application to be added to the list. Revisions to the voters list can be made after Sept. 2. Voters will need to show one piece of identification that lists your Ottawa address, like a driver’s license or an Ontario photo health card, at the polling station on election day. That can also include a utility bill , pay cheque stub or campus residence documentation. Citizens who donate $25.01 or more to a municipal candidate’s campaign can qualify to receive money back under the city’s contribution rebate program. The program is meant to encourage citizens to participate in the election. Candidates, their spouses and

dependant children are not eligible, nor are corporations or trade unions. The rebates start at 50 per cent for contributions up to $100. Donations of more than $100 qualify for rebates of $50 plus 25 per cent, to a maximum of $75. The Municipal Elections Act prohibits incumbent candidates from using public dollars to sponsor campaign materials; however, the restriction isn’t meant to restrict elected officials from routine communication with constituents. Starting 60 days before election day, there is a complete ban on spending taxpayer-funded council office budgets on ads, flyers or newsletters. That doesn’t apply to emergency events, a community issue that arises or an annual community event. City employees, including councillors’ staff, can participate in any election campaign provided the volunteering is done outside of work hours and doesn’t use city resources. No election signs can be placed on private property until Aug. 28 or on public property until Sept. 27. Signs must be at least 50 centimetres away from sidewalks or the shoulder of the street, or two metres away from the edge of a roadway. Campaigning isn’t allowed at voting places; however, if the poll is on private property such as an apartment building, only the common areas are considered to be part of the polling station. Signs are allowed to be placed in windows or on balconies of those buildings on election day. Signs have to be taken down within 48 hours of election day.

site of a surprise 80th birthday party for a longtime Stittsville resident last Saturday, Jan. 4.

The party was held in honour of Mary Durling, who has lived in Stittsville since 1967. She has been active in the community over her years in Stittsville, being a member of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Stittsville Legion, an avid darts player, dedicated to her church and a regular volunteer for various charities, often canvassing door to door on their behalf. She has been recognized as “Senior Citizen of the Year” in Stittsville in honour of her vol-

unteer work and community involvement. At this 80th birthday party, Mrs. Durling received a certificate of congratulations from Prime Minister Stephen Harper as well as 80th birthday wishes certificates from city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who was on hand to present both certificates.

March of Dimes Canada has set a March of Dimes fundraising goal of over $32,000 for the Stittsville and Kanata area. This will be done by volunteers in both Stittsville and Kanata going door-to-door in this annual campaign. Some of the programs which the March of Dimes door-to-door campaign supports include an Assistive Devices Program, a rehabilitation program, social opportunities, an education program and more, all meant to help increase the independence and community participation of people with physical disabilities. In the past year, the March of Dimes Assistive Devices Program, supported 100 percent by donor dollars, provided 191 devices with a value of over $177,000 to Ottawa area residents with disabilities. This includes help with the purchase and maintenance of equipment such as manual and motorized wheelchairs, bath aids, seating inserts and wheelchair cushions, canes, crutches and walkers and more. March of Dimes Canada is the largest charitable rehabilitation organization in Ontario, providing a variety of programs and services to over 40,000 people annually in communities across the province. If you wish to donate to this year’s campaign and are missed in the doorto-door campaign for one reason or another, please call 1-800-263-3463, ext. 7705 or visit the website www. mymod.ca/doortodoor .

Musical trip on hit parade at Gaia Java john.curry@metroland.com

News - Listening to a Gretchen Martin performance is like taking a musical trip on the hit parade – the hit tunes just keep coming. And that’s what is was like at Gretchen’s pre-Christmas performance at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop on Friday, Nov. 29. You got to hear familiar hit song after hit song, from a variety of artists ranging from doo-wop to country to rock to adult contemporary. So you heard the sounds of Eric Clapton, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Eagles, The Drifters, George Strait, Elton John, Cydni Lauper and more. It all makes for a memorable evening and that’s what it was on this particular evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop. One of her early offerings was “Drift Away,”

the 1973 hit by American singer/songwriter Dobie Gray who passed away in 2011. You know the lyrics – “Give me the beat boys and free my soul/I wanna to get lost in your rock n roll/And drift away”. She followed this up with Eric Clapton’s “Change The World,” which won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1966. Of course, winning Grammy Awards is nothing unusual for Eric Clapton as he has won 17 of them during his career as a singer, singwriter and musician. Indeed, he is one of the world’s best known guitarists. And on the performance went, one hit after another. There was “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” the 1971 hit single by the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. And The American rock band The Eagles was not overlooked, as she performed “Desperado” from the band’s

1973 album of the same name as well as “Tequila Sunrise,” another of the group’s hits. No wonder The Eagles are one of the world’s best selling bands with over 150 million records sold – their music soars. The 1964 hit “Under the Boardwalk” by the American doo-wop vocal group The Drifters was performed, as was George Strait’s 1998 hit “I Just Want To Dance With You,” one of the 60 number one hits from this American country singers. The Ronettes’ 1963 hit “Be My Baby” and

News - Snow may be covering the landscape so tropical plantings, garden plantings, woodland blooms, veggies and gardens might not be top of mind these days. But they should be if you are considering entering the 2014 annual photography competition of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society because it is photographs of these that are among the themes of the various classes in the competition.

Rare or tropical plantings used outdoors during our short growing time; Class three – Woodland blooms. Your native favourite.

Two different plants that can blend by colour and texture to expand volume; Class six – Ferns from fiddleheads

to frost; Class seven – Our garden tour. Favourites from 2013 Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society garden tour; and Class eight – Veggie tales. Local delights from our gardens. The actual judging will take place at the Horticultural Society’s meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. But entries must be submitted no later than Wednesday, Feb. 5 at any Goulbourn branch of the Ottawa Public Library (Stittsville, Richmond or Munster).

Lifestyle - Oats are soaked beforehand instead of cooked in the morning, making it an ideal healthy breakfast for time-starved cooks. While the recipe originates in Switzerland, it makes use of Ontario’s apples, honey or maple syrup and calcium-rich dairy. Preparation time: five minutes. Soaking time: four hours. Serves two. Ingredients * 125 ml (1/2 cup) large flake rolled oats (not instant) * 125 ml (1/2 cup) milk * 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) cinnamon * 1 small apple (unpeeled) * 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped

almonds * 25 ml (2 tbsp) raisins, dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots * 50 ml (1/4 cup) plain or vanilla yogurt * 15 ml (1 tbsp) honey or maple syrup Preparation In a medium bowl, combine the oats, milk and cinnamon. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight. Just before serving, dice the apple and stir it along with the almonds and raisins into the oatmeal mixture. Divide the mixture between bowls and top with yogurt and drizzle with honey. Tip: Vary the fruit according to the seasons. Try other nuts or dried fruit to suit your taste.

The draft featured 18 rounds. Meghan started two of her team’s first five games, recording one shutout and losing the other game in a shootout. After these two games, her save percentage stood at .956, the best in the league. In her 4-0 victory over Brampton Thunder, Meghan stopped all 22 shots that she faced for the shutout. Olympic gold medalist Sarah Vaillancourt from Team Canada scored one of the goals for the Montreal Stars in this game. Meghan wears jersey number 33 for the Montreal Stars. The 23 year old is listed at five foot, five inches in height. “Meghan has been a great addition to the club,” Meg Hewings, the general manager of the Montreal Stars notes. “We’re happy to have her in Montreal.” The CWHL has five teams: Montreal Stars, Toronto Furies, Boston Blades, Brampton Thunder and Alberta Hockey Club. The CWHL considers itself a professionally run

women’s hockey league, enabling elite female hockey players to pursue their dreams of competing at the highest level possible. The league is centrally funded, with all participating teams receiving equal access to financial support. It is a not-for-profit organization, with the goal of

raising the profile of women’s hockey. Many CWHL players have Olympic, NCAA and Canadian Interuniversity Sport playing experience. Founded in 2007, the CWHL has concluded each season with a playoff round in which the top teams face off for the Clarkson Cup, named after former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson.

MPP Jack MacLaren - then and now! derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Jack MacLaren appears to have undergone something of a transformation. For years he was a virulently antigovernment, rural libertarian who opposed all mainstream parties. His sole public focus was on protecting private property rights. Then he mounted a fierce coup against longtime incumbent Norm Sterling to win the PC nomination in Carleton-Mississippi Mills. He won the largely conservative riding handily during the 2011 election and went off to Queen’s Park prepared to do battle with farm-animal welfare groups, Quebec construction industry protectionists and others. It didn’t take the MacLaren’s Landing farmer long to adopt the partisan messaging expected of every MPP: Ontarians deserve better; Tim Hudak is a capable team leader; the PC party stands up for working families. He was also blessed with plenty of mud to sling at a decade-old Liberal government: • a health “premium” introduced soon after signing a promise not to raise taxes; • an ineffective eHealth sys-

tem that cost $1 billion; • using martial law to trample the civil rights of thousands during the G20 Summit; • a $7 billion untendered green energy contract to Samsung of Korea; • another $1.1 billion to cancel gas plants slated for must-win ridings. The list goes on and on. MacLaren is so adept at compiling examples of wasted tax dollars under Liberal premiers that he can fit $4.1 billion’s worth in a relatively short sentence. And yet, lately, his voice grows weary when mouthing the party position or slamming the current government’s record. Maybe the former offends his independent streak. Maybe the latter should be so obvious as to not need further mention. In the trajectory of a politician’s career, it usually takes some seven to eight years to come to this realization. Maybe MacLaren is a quick study. Regardless the explanation, Jack MacLaren seems to have altered his approach to politics. He confesses to a degree of frustration when it comes to partisan games. “It’s sickening sometimes, the amount of party politics down there (at Queen’s Park),” he said during a phone interview at a family member’s

home over the Christmas holidays. That revelation may come as a surprise to many who see the former president of the Ontario Landowners Association as akin to a U.S. Tea Party radical. He continues to situate himself firmly on the right side of his Progressive Conservative party. There is no doubt about that. He despises much of what government does; believes it too big; says it steals freedom and destroys social cohesion; calls it an anathema to free market capitalism. However, at least three times during the interview MacLaren voluntarily talked about collective responsibility toward the less fortunate. “As a caring society we have a moral responsibility to help the less fortunate,” he repeatedly stated. Many would interpret that to mean government intervening to ensure equity. But it also includes non-governmental groups, churches for instance, helping the less fortunate. True, ever since he joined mainstream politics he has seldom missed an opportunity to signal his support for seniors. But not until recently has he broadened this fortunate group’s constituency – many of whom happen to fit into his party’s base – to include autistic children and their families.

“I’ve met with a number of these families at my office and I have to tell you: they need our help,” MacLaren said. “What these families are going through, quietly, on their own, without help from anybody, is truly amazing.” He doesn’t rhyme off a lot of facts and figures on the topic. He said it is a growing problem – from one in 180 some 10 years ago to about one in 90 today. But he isn’t sure of the exact numbers. The important thing for MacLaren is the anecdotal evidence; the families he has sat and listened to. “Do you know what they are asking for? Do you know what they want?” he says, emphatically. “A night’s sleep. That’s what they want from us.” The left doesn’t hold a monopoly on compassion, of course. But conservatives prefer to express theirs on an individual basis, not through government. And whom they prefer to support differs. Many throw their support behind members of the military or business owners. But to zero in on a group that, at first glance, doesn’t seem a natural ally – autistic kids? - can only be explained by presuming MacLaren was deeply touched at an emotional level. He seems to admire families with an

autism member. They stay together against the odds, work hard day and night, do what they can with what little they have: all aspects that complement his worldview. That it gets less exposure – physical illnesses still garner more sympathy than mental – also appeals. Hence his inclusion on an all-party committee that begins travelling the province Jan. 13 to hear from families of the developmentally disabled. He is confident the New Democrat, Liberal, and PC members will work cooperatively and offer constructive solutions. “I am quite proud and privileged to be on this committee. We are all pulling in the same direction.” There is no question that whatever he may want to do, as an MPP, will cost taxpayers’ one way or another. Could it be more programs? Tax breaks? Research? He isn’t committed to a solution just yet, but acknowledges the inevitable. “It will take money,” he said. That’s where his party differs from others. MacLaren wouldn’t grow government and the tax burden to fund any changes. He’d cut green energy spending, and money being spent elsewhere. He talks of spending money “on people not things” like windmills and other ventures. The Christmas spirit may have gotten to his heart strings, but his pocketbook is handled with all the frugality of a true conservative.
