News - Two donations. A total of $20,000.

Now, that’s a good start on a fundraising campaign that will see the creation of a peace park with a labyrinth in Stittsville this year. This will be the first such peace park with a labyrinth within the city of Ottawa.

These two major donations, one for $15,000 and one for $5,000, were announced by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, the driving force behind this peace park project, at a celebration to launch the fundraising component of the project on Wednesday, Jan. 7 at the Bank of Montreal branch on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville.

The $15,000 donation has come from Tartan Homes, one of the city’s major developers which has constructed homes in Stittsville.

And while he was unable to be at this announcement celebration, Bruce Nicol of Tartan Homes released a statement which revealed his support for the project as well as

his knowledge of labyrinths.

Indeed, Mr. Nicol has visited a number of labyrinths including a famous one at the Chartres Cathedral in France after which this Stittsville one is being designed. He points out that labyrinth walking is becoming an increasingly popular activity for people and points out the website www.canadianlabyrinthventures.com as a place to visit for more information about labyrinths. “I think these kinds of park features are wonderful,� Mr. Nicol says in his statement in association with Tartan Homes’ $15,000 donation to the peace park and labyrinth project in Stittsville. “It’s an active installation but not just for children or sports enthusiasts. It’s completely accessible to people of all ages.�

He also adds that such an installation is attractive but easy to maintain and provides a place for people to find peace and contemplation.

The $5,000 donation to the project comes from BMO Bank of Montreal. “This peace park will be a permanent and lasting landmark in the village of Stittsville for many years to come and our donation represents our continuing investment in and commitment to the community of Stittsville,� said Hazeldean Road BMO Bank of Montreal branch manager Michael Posternak in making the donation at the announcement celebration.

There are still lots of other dona-

One opportunity is to make a $200 donation which gives the donor the opportunity to have an engraving of choice on a four inch by eight inch brick that will be part of the 75 foot long meandering walkway that will be part of the project. This walkway will lead from the existing parking lot at Bell Memorial Park, which is the site of the project, to the labyrinth.

There will be only just over 400 of these bricks which feature these personalized engravings. The brick will be able to have two lines of

text with a maximum of 12 characters per line.

These engraved bricks and their engraved messages lend themselves to in memoriams or to indicating a family’s support of the project.

They can also be made on behalf of a family member or friend, with a certification of donation available so that the person can be informed that a $200 donation was made on his or her behalf to the Rotary Peace Park project in Stittsville, as acknowledged through an inscription on a brick forming part of the pathway to the labyrinth.

Income tax receipts will be available for these $200 donations and indeed, for all donations of $20 or over made to the project.

Arrangements for making a donation to the project can be done online on the website www.stittsvillerotary. com .

Other donation opportunities include contributing $2,500 which would result in the donor’s name being featured on a plaque on one of the large boulders which delineate the parking lot area at Bell Memorial Park.

There is also a donation opportunity for a major donation for one of the three benches that will be surrounding the labyrinth area at this Rotary Peace Park.

There will be three benches in total. One will be fully accessible while two will be custom-made reconciliation-style benches that will encourage conversation due to their shape and style.

Besides these benches, the peace park will have two signs explaining about the concept of a peace park and a labyrinth as well as a sign identifying the major donors to the project.

The peace park also will have a unique five-sided garbage receptacle

as well as two bicycle racks that are being provided by Exel Contracting of Stittsville which will be handling the installation of the labyrinth.

The five sides of the garbage receptacle as well as areas on two of the bicycle racks will be used as areas where students and youth from Stittsville will have the opportunity to display artwork depicting the meaning of peace.

The Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville has a fundraising goal of about $100,000 for this Rotary Peace Park project which would cover not only the initial installation and development of the park but would permit future phases such as installation of special gardens and perhaps other features such as a waterfall with its soothing sounds.

The Rotary Club of OttawaStittsville itself is directing proceeds raised by its annual Trivia Challenge Night in February this year and also its annual International Film Series which runs monthly from January through April this year to this peace park project.

Construction of the labyrinth is expected to be completed by midJune this year.

The bricks making up the labyrinth, which will be 47 feet in diameter with the Rotary International

logo in the middle, are being made by a company in New Jersey which specializes in such projects.

The bricks will be shipped to Stittsville once half-load restrictions for trucking are off the roads in the spring and the installation of the labyrinth will get underway at that point.

The Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society has agreed to do the landscaping of the site.

Already last fall, the site for the labyrinth was excavated and there was other work done at the site related to bases for the garbage receptacle and the benches.

The Rotary Club of OttawaStittsville received $30,000 in funding from the city of Ottawa’s Better Neighbourhoods Program. It was only one of three such applications approved for such funding, with $30,000 being the maximum that could be received.

The city of Ottawa will be assuming ownership and ongoing maintenance responsibilities for this Rotary Peace Park once it has been completed. That’s why all facets of the projects are being carried out according to the city of Ottawa’s standards and guidelines.

a celebration of the who

The creation of a Rotary Peace Park with labyrinth in Stittsville is the realization of a longstanding dream by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. First thoughts of such a peace park arose back in 2006 and slowly developed over the years until coming to fruition now.

Rotary as an organization has a long history with peace parks. Back in 1932, the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was created on the Montana/Alberta border, initiated by a petition from Rotary International and local Rotary Clubs in Alberta and Montana.

There are now 138 International Peace Parks created on national boundaries on five continents.

Rotary Peace Parks can now be found across Canada in communities such as Whitehorse, Saskatoon, Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton and Salmon Arm.

Cover songs at Gaia Java shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Bob Seger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Van Morrison and Otis Redding all visited Stittsville last Friday evening.

Well, not in person but in their music as cover songs by these iconic classic rock singers filled the air at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop thanks to the musical efforts of a duo turned trio. “TnR,” a duo consisting of Terry Restoule on vocals and Richard Beres on guitar, has been joined by bass guitarist Chris Must to form what is now a musical trio.

This was the first time that this group has performed at a Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop. “TnR,” as a duo, formed in the fall of 2013 and lately has been playing mainly at open mic opportunities in the Kemptville/Merrickville/ Winchester area. Now a trio with the addition of bassist Chris Must, the group focuses on cover songs, although not always the best known ones by an artist.

And so last Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop featured cover song after cover song. It made for a fabulous and fun musical evening for the crowd which packed the

shop.

The group started off its performance with a somewhat lesser known cover song, “Train to Birmingham

by American rock guitarist and singer John Hiatt. The song first appeared on his 2011 album “Dirty Jeans and Mudslide Hymns.” John Hiatt, by the way, is no stranger to Ottawa as he played the National Arts Centre back in 2008.

Following this opening John Hiatt song, it was on to one of the biggest and best, “The Boss” himself, Bruce Springsteen and his song “The River,” the title track from his fifth studio album back in 1980.

And then it was more of the same – cover song after cover song by artists like American singer/songwriter Justin Townes Earle; his father and rock, country and folk singer Steve Earle (“More Than I Can Do”); rock singer Bob Seger (“Turn The Page” from a 1973 album that was never released as a single but has become a classic rock standard); Bob Dylan’s “Wagon Wheel” which has been covered by many singers including Darius Rucker who made it into a country hit in 2013; Canadian country rock band Blue Rodeo; English rock band the Rolling Stones; American alternative rock band Soul Asylum (the power

ballad “Runaway Train” which was a hit in 1993 after being taken from the band’s 1992 album “Grace Dancers Union” and which won the 1994 Grammy Award for best rock song); American folk music singer Steve Goodman who wrote and first released in 1971 “City of New Orleans,” a song for which he won a Grammy Award posthumously in 1985 and a song which is more associated with Arlo Guthrie who had a hit with it in 1972); Canadian singer and rock n roll legend Neil Young (Heart of Gold from his 1972 album Harvest, a song which has been his only number one hit in the United States, and also Helpless, first recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young in the 1970 album Déjà Vu”); Irish singer Van Morrison (“Brown Eyed Girl,” his 1967 hit single that is another classic rock standard that has been covered by numerous singers over the years); American singer Otis Redding (“Sitting On The Dock of the Bay” which was posthumously released in 1968); and American soul and rhythm/ blues singer Ben E. King (“Stand By Me,” which was a hit for him in 1961 and was the theme song for the 1986 movie of the same name directed by Rob Reiner and has been recorded by hundreds of singers over the years). And there were more!

Adding to the enjoyment of the evening was the inclusion of the harmonica and its haunting melodies in the presentation of virtually all of the songs presented by the group. Vocalist Terry Restoule had his harmonica at the ready and each song would have a harmonica segment, adding to the musical intrigue and appeal of the song.

These Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville are free to attend, with everyone welcome to attend.

They happen every Friday starting at 7 p.m. although early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

This coming Friday, Jan. 16, the music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop will feature Lynne Hanson and Americana roots and folk music.

On Saturday, January 7th, we lost a great Rideau-Goulbourn resident with the passing of Des Garvey. A Fallowfield Village resident, Des reach far beyond the boundaries of Nepean through his Nepean Outreach to the World organization.

Des worked tirelessly to help the residents of Bo, Sierra Leone build a Learning Resource Centre for children in need. Having first visited Sierra Leone in 1984, he built a relationship between Bo and Nepean with the City of Nepean officially recognizing the linking of the two communities in 1988. The connection between the village of Bo and the man they called Mr. Nepean was so strong that they named their soccer team, the Nepean Stars, after him. The Nepean Stars play in the Sierra Leone National Premier League.

Des Garvey’s commitment to helping others was felt here at home as well. On several occasions over the last few years, I had the pleasure of accompanying Des on visits to the Shepherds of Good Hope and the Ottawa Mission in which he brought coats, boots and clothing for those in need. He was an amazing man who left his mark around the world. He will certainly be missed by all those he touched.

Munster Elementary School Earlier this week, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board released its recommendation on the future of Munster Elementary School. While the school would remain open for community use, the recommendation, announced Monday, calls for Munster students to be relocated to Richmond Public School or A. Lorne Cassidy in Stittsville, effective September 2015.

This recommendation will be presented to the Board of Trustees on January 20th, 2015. The report is available at http://www.ocdsb.ca/sch/as/Pages/efi-atMunster.aspx.

New exhibition at owaa gallery at GRC John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - “White is in the Winter Night’ is the name of the newest exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC).

And, in keeping with the theme represented by the exhibition title, white snow and nighttime in winter are portrayed, either alone or together, in many of the pieces on display in this exhibition which will be at the owaa gallery until Friday, March 6.

The theme is perhaps no better represented than in John Edkins’ photograph entitled “Winter Night #1” which has captured a full moon in the winter sky with its brightness glistening over a snow covered field.

What is the real eye-catcher in the photo, besides the wide-eyed moon, is a solitary fence post which is casting a long, narrow shadow on the snow-covered ground thanks to the glow from the moon. An old piece of farm machinery in the middle of the snow-covered, moonlightdrenched field adds to this wintry wonderland at night.

Coming close to this Edkins’ photograph in capturing winter’s snowy calling card is Aud Karin Sund’s watercolour “Dreamy Winter” which also has a page wire fence in the foreground, behind which lies something of a hazy snowscape, behind which are trees and hills. It reflects the white of winter, albeit in daytime, not on a winter’s night like the “Winter Night #1” photo.

When someone is really cold, they could turn blue and that’s just what Kat McClure’s “Moonlit Night” mixed media work conveys with its prevalent blue tone – a cold winter’s night, for sure.

There’s a moon in the sky, shining down on a solitary tree standing in a snow covered landscape.

Kat McClure is best known for her large abstracts but this large work is anything but abstract – it is clear and stark, just like the cold winter’s night that it is portraying.

Kat says that she likes to paint trees. She should do more of it because this “Moonlit

Night” solitary tree is a gem.

Trudy Daley’s oil painting “Snow Is Glistening” depicts a footbridge over a watercourse, surrounded by trees tipped with white snow, with two ducks enjoying the open water beneath the bridge.

And speaking of wildlife, Beverly Lafortune’s photograph entitled “Angel Wings” shows a snowy owl with its wings extended, looking much like an angel perched on the branch of a leafless tree.

A similarly striking scene that is not a photograph but an acrylic by Roseanne Facchin is “Winter Cardinal,” showing a majestic red cardinal bird sitting on a branch, with bits of snow peppering the web of branches.

Photographer Sylvie Sabourin also captured a snowy owl, in a photo that she has named “Winter Guest” in this exhibition. The snowy owl is atop what appears to be a fence post, with some branches in front and the sky overhead.

As for winter scenes, the exhibition boasts several.

There’s John Edkins’ photo “Winter Night #2” which shows a full moon in a dark starspotted sky, with a piece of snow or ice sticking up from the snow covered ground, much like an iceberg in a sea of snow.

Stephanie J. Robertson’s black and white photo called “Winter Sparkle” is a macro view of a couple of ice covered branches from up close.

Vera van Baaren’s acrylic “Snow Everywhere” is a two-panel work that would seem to be a time-lapse view of a scene, with one panel showing a pile of snow partially covering a tree or bush with the second panel showing the tree or bush virtually covered with an even larger pile of snow.

“It’s Cold,” a watercolour by Charles Rogers, shows a snow covered road lined with snow banks and trees, with a watercourse on its right.

Charles Rogers also has a photograph entitled “Fall River” in the exhibition, showing a scene of snow covered trees flanking a river, with a snow bank in the foreground.

“Country Church” is an oil painting by Josie Walsh which features a yellow church, a yel-

low house and another smaller building, all with snow covered roofs and sitting in a snowcovered landscape.

Sylvie Sabourin’s photograph “Athabasca Glacier” shows a mountain glacier under a sky filled with perhaps slightly menacing clouds.

Mike Goguen always has unique work exhibited at the owaa gallery and his oil painting

“Winter’s First Ice – Norway Bay” is no different.

It’s a great scene of ice newly formed on parts of a body of water, with a pine tree island prominent in the scene which shows a shoreline in the distance.

43 singers in Ladies Chorus

Art exhibition featuring winter, snow Continued from page 6

Special to the News

News - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has grown to 43 singers in just over two years since its formation under the direction of Robert Dueck of Stittsville.

The Ladies Chorus draws its singers from communities throughout the West Ottawa area and beyond, with the latest numbers as follows: Stittsville, 13; Kanata, 13; Munster, 5; Richmond, 2; Carp 2; Carleton Place, 3; and others (Barrhaven, Old Ottawa East, Fitzroy Harbour, Nepean and North Gower), 5.

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus held its annual Christmas concert on Saturday, Dec. 13 and Sunday, Dec. 14, with an estimated 525 people in attendance in total.

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is an auditioned chorus. While new members are most welcome, there are certain membership requirements. These included choral experience with singing a designated voice part, basic understanding of music theory, basic to intermediate sight reading skills, straight tone singing or minimized vibrato and the ability to match pitch and blend with other singers. Auditions for the coming term ending with the spring concert are taking place this week of Jan. 12-16. For more information about auditioning, please email LadiesChorus@bell.net or phone music director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824.

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus offers two rehearsals a week. Members are welcome to attend both but are asked to commit to attending at least one of the two rehearsals per week. The Sunday rehearsals will be taking place at the Empress Kanata Retirement Home at 170 McGibbon Drive in Kanata from Sunday, Jan. 25 to the middle of May from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. each time. The Wednesday rehearsals will be taking place at the Kanata Baptist Church at 465 Hazeldean Road in Kanata from Wednesday, Jan. 28 to the middle of May from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. each time.

Nothing that unusual here until you look skyward and there, floating over this scene, are four colourful hot air balloons. And then, down in the newly formed ice, you can see their reflections.

Another interesting work on exhibit at the owaa gallery is Louise Barker’s oil painting “Light Is In The Winter Night,” a large vertical work in an abstract style whose dark area has fingers of green colour plummeting through it.

And then there is also that little white dot radiating from the scene.

Yet another intriguing work is “Open The Window,” an acrylic by Sonia Tavares which features three silver balls in a rectangular window, with purple and white as the work’s predominant colours.

Also in this exhibition is an oil painting entitled Brookstreet Café by Mark Grasza which shows a café scene with a number of its white tables occupied and some not occupied, with a couple of musicians playing. In the background are a giant office tower and a high rise building.

Floral works are also in the exhibition.

“After the Winter – Spring Glory” is a photograph by Stephanie J. Robertson showing a flower in bloom against a green background.

“Frogs and Lilies” is an oil painting by Michael Goguen which shows two pink flowered lily pads with a rock wall in the background.

Sheila Turner-Whalen’s watercolour pencil work entitled “Triumph” shows a group of seven tulips while “Summer Bouquet,” an oil painting by Trudy Daley, shows a multicoloured bouquet of flowers.

This “White is in the Winter Night” are exhibition presented by the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) will be on display at the owaa gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville until Friday, March 6.

The owaa gallery is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Those who do view this new exhibition should consider filling out a ballot in the People’s Choice voting to determine the public’s favourite work in the exhibition. Ballots and the ballot box can be found on top of a display case at the owaa gallery.

SUBMITTED

Ready for a concert are Eliana Kurilov, foreground, who is the accompanist of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, and Robert Dueck, background, who is the music director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus.

Good start, but more needed

I

t was long overdue.

However, the sacking this week of Julian Fantino, the beleagured Veterans Affairs Minister, should be just the first step if the federal government is serious about mending fences with veterans.

The new veterans affairs minister, Erin O’Toole, has a major task ahead of him. Being a former military man himself and his reputation of being affable sort should help.

He can’t help but be an improvement on Fantino, who alienated veterans, normally supporters of the Conservatives, with his behaviour that verged on the edge of boorishness.

However, saying “it’s an honour for me to serve our veterans� and being nicer to them in face-toface meetings won’t address the many grievances that they have with the government.

O’Toole and the Conservative government have to show they are taking veterans’ concerns seriously by improving mental health services and financial support for distressed veterans. Enough of leaving

needed funds unspent, spreading out announced increases in assistance over 50 years and allowing claims to bog down in the bureaucracy.

If you don’t believe improvements are needed, ask the Royal Canadian Legion, hardly a radical organization of malcontents. In response to Fantino’s departure, the Legion said it hopes the change will bring “better action� on the issues facing veterans and their families. It pointed to three specific areas where the government needs to improve veterans benefits.

In its release, the Legion made note of the outpouring of support for veterans on Remembrance Day and urged the government and all political parties to “put the past behind and move forward to create an environment where veterans know that this country’s obligation to care for them when they need it will be met.�

Shuffling ministers and soothing words aren’t enough. The new minister and the government need to take concrete actions to take better care of veterans.

Make sure we’re memorializing the right thing

T

he amount of public criticism that has surfaced on the proposed Memorial to the Victims of Communism should persuade the government to give the project a rethink.

Some of the criticism has centred on the location of the memorial – a now-open space between the Supreme Court building and the Library and Archives on Wellington Street.

Some argue either that the space should be preserved as the last bit of open space on the street. Others say that the space was intended for a new Federal Court building.

If the government accepts either of those lines of thought, it should not be difficult to find somewhere else to put the memorial. A trickier question, however, is the character of

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the memorial itself, or whether there should be one at all.

Let’s assume the memorial will go ahead. It’s probably too late, not to mention politically unacceptable, to stop it. How could the memorial be re-imagined to take into account the second criticism – that, by dealing only with the victims of communism, it neglects those who have suffered under other forms of totalitarianism?

Well, it could be called a Memorial to the Victims of Totalitarianism,

and that would bring in victims of the Nazism, it would bring in Cambodians, Rwandans, refugees from Somalia and some Middle Eastern countries, among others.

Or, and here’s what seems more promising, the memorial could put aside the notion of victimhood altogether and concentrate instead on those who have come to our shores, benefitted from and made a contribution to life in Canada. We would be celebrating instead of mourning.

We would also be in line with modern trends in the use of the language. It may verge on political correctness, but there is a movement away from the use of such terms as “suffering,� where it refers to people living with illness.

the term “victim� when referring to victims. The preference is for the word “survivor,� largely because there is a connotation of powerlessness and passivity that clings to the word “victim.�

That sounds a lot like what we have come to know in Canada, as those who came over from Hungary in 1956 or Vietnam in 1979, to take two examples, settled here, adjusted to Canadian life, had jobs and families and helped make their lives and their country better. Freedom, it’s called. Wouldn’t that be worth a memorial?

To be sure, there have been some blots on Canada’s record, but most of our history has been one of welcoming people from troubled places, helping them adjust to life here and learning to enjoy the contributions they make to our life.

1st Stittsville Guides help out Shepherds of Good Hope John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The 1st Stittsville Guides have given a helping hand to the homeless.

At their meeting in Stittsville on Tuesday, Jan. 6, the Guides handed over a collection of toiletries, blankets and toques to Micah Garten, a development officer with the Shepherds of Good Hope Foundation.

The Guides had been collecting the items throughout the month of December as part of the group’s major community service project which is a requirement to receive the Lady Baden-Powell Award.

This Lady Baden-Powell Award is the highest award that a Guide can earn. It involves completing the Guide program as well as extra initiative in the areas of community service and volunteering while learn-

ing about the life and work of Lady Baden-Powell.

The 1st Stittsville Guides had decided to make their community service project about helping out the Shepherds of Good Hope which works with the homeless in the Ottawa area.

The Guides were helped in their collection of items by a donation of a case of 144 toothbrushes and two cases of toothpaste from Kanata dentist Dr. Susan Pella and by the West Ottawa Military Wives group whose members knitted about 20 toques.

Mr. Garten from the Shepherds of Good Hope did more than just stop by the Guides’ meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 6 and pick up the items being donated. He also gave the Guides a presentation about the Shepherds of Good Hope, explaining what the organization does and how it works with the homeless.

Mr. Garten explained that a person who is homeless is someone who has no roof over his or her head and as a result has no closet or place to store clothes and other items. That’s why the homeless have virtually nothing and why the Shepherds of Good Hope tries to meet some of their needs by offering them food, clothing and a safe place to sleep.

The Shepherds of Good Hope feeds about 1,600 people every day while providing a place to sleep for about 500 people every night.

Mr. Garten said that by helping the homeless in this way, with food and shelter, it sometimes leads to an opportunity to work with them and help get them off the street.

“It’s about building a relationship,” he said.

Mr. Garten praised the Guides for their donation of items, all of which he took away and which he said

needs of the poor and the homeless in the city of Ottawa, had its beginnings over 30 years ago. On a cold day in Jan. 1983, a hungry man asking for food knocked on the door of the priest of St. Brigid’s Catholic Church in downtown Ottawa. The priest made the man a sandwich and in the ensuing days, more of the same happened.

The priest eventually put an ad in the paper looking for volunteers to feed these men and women who were seeking food. This led to the creation of St. Brigid’s Soup Kitchen, the predecessor of the Shepherds of Good Hope. On Feb. 7, 1983, this new soup kitchen served meals to 23 people.

The Shepherds of Good Hope has grown over the years so that in 2013 it had nine facilities around the city serving the needs of the poor and homeless. These facilities include a soup kitchen, food bank and clothing program as well as a men’s shelter on Murray Street, another emergency shelter program and women’s shelter on King Edward Avenue, supported living units on St. Patrick Street and St. Andrew Street, women’s housing on Nelson Street, supportive living units on Merivale Road and supportive living units on Castlefrank Road in Kanata.

would be provided to the homeless.

He said that each donated item would make a homeless person’s day or even year, not only in receiving the item but in knowing that someone had cared about them and had donated the item.

He noted that the Guides had collected all these items and were donating them to the Shepherds of Good Hope to help people that they do not even know.

He said that the Guides have done something really amazing in donating these items to the Shepherds of Good Hope, noting that for those who are served by the Shepherds of Good Hope, these items will be virtually everything that they have.

“These things are a miracle, they are life savers,” he told the Guides about the donated items.

Mr. Garten said that the Shepherds of Good Hope “helps everyone who needs help.” He said that the Shepherds of Good Hope treats all those who use their services with respect, while providing them with a safe environment and necessities like food and clothing.

The Shepherds of Good Hope, which is now the largest not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving the

Aidan Cullen tops Gauss Math Contest John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Sacred Heart Catholic High School student Aidan Cullen is good at math.

Just how good?

Well, last year he had the highest score among grade seven students at Sacred Heart in the University of Waterloo Gauss Math Contest.

The Gauss Math Contest is open to all students in grade seven as an opportunity for students to have fun and to develop their mathematical problem solving ability.

The Contest involves 25 multiple-choice questions based on curriculum common to all Canadian provinces. The questions must be answered within 60 minutes.

Aidan, now in grade eight at Sacred Heart, admits that he likes math. He decided to enter the contest last year and did practice on some sample tests that were online in preparation for the contest itself.

And although he says that the preparation did help him with the real test, he still found that the test itself was a little different from the sample tests. He found some of the questions easy and some of them more difficult but after completing the Contest test, he felt that he had done well. However, he never envisoned that he would have the top score among all of the grade seven students at Sacred Heart.

He has liked math as long as he can remember and right now thinks that he might pursue a career in physics or something related to math.

However, it is still early to determine that.

Aidan participates in the school’s math club and also the science club. But he is also busy as a member of the grade seven/eight Only Boys Aloud music group. He had not sung formally before joining the music group last year but he has liked the experience, allowing him to meet

(LIFA>V

other students and having fun singing.

The music group sings at school concerts and at the school’s annual tree lighting ceremony before Christmas.

Aidan, who attended St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville, enjoys reading and usually has a book on the go. He particularly likes science fiction and fantasy books.

He is also an avid swimmer and currently is working towards becoming a lifeguard.

At home, his family has two dogs. He walks them when he can and also plays with them regularly.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports

By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

January 9th, 2015 You’re probably hearing frost quakes If you have heard loud “boom” sounds lately, they’re most likely frost quakes. Frost quakes occur when extreme cold temperatures freeze water deep in the ground. As it freezes it expands and sometimes causes enough built up pressure that the ground cracks. Occasionally the cracks cause loud “boom” sounds. Frost quakes do not pose any dangers to the public.

Ottawa Public Health guidelines for ill children Ottawa Public Health (OPH) has guidelines in place for schools to help with communicable disease prevention and control, including respiratory illness and gastroenteritis.

Any child who is ill and unable to participate fully in regular activities should be cared for at home. OPH recommends that students who have symptoms of gastroenteritis, including vomiting and/or diarrhea, should stay home for 24 hours after they are symptom free or feeling better. Children with symptoms of respiratory illness such as fever, cough and runny nose should also stay home until fever free and feeling better.

Staying home when you have gastroenteritis or respiratory illness is one way to help others from getting sick, OPH also encourages good hand hygiene including hand washing and hand sanitization.

Additionally, you can check out OPH’s Parenting in Ottawa Facebook page, where you find interactive content with a Public Health Nurse.

For more information, please call Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744 (TTY: 613-580-9656).

Snow Mobiles and the Trans Canada Trail Recently, residents have expressed concerns regarding the use of motorized vehicles on the Trans Canada Trail. Please note that motorized vehicles including snow mobiles are not allowed on the Trail between Terry Fox Drive to West Ridge Drive.

Please be aware that it is illegal to drive any motorized vehicle including snowmobiles, pocket motorcycles and ATV’s on the Trail. Many residents use this beautiful trail as a walking path so not only does using a motorized vehicle here pose an extreme safety issue with the vehicles themselves, it also poses danger to civilians and can cause damage to the walking path.

If you witness anyone driving a motorized vehicle on the Trans Canada Trail, please do not hesitate to contact Ottawa Police at 613-236-1222 ext. 7300 immediately. If you can note any details such as make/colour/license plate of the machine this will help Police. Also, please ensure you inform my office about any incident of concern.

Frostbite Warning A Frostbite Warning is issued when a wind chill of -35 or colder is forecast for the Ottawa area. With a wind chill of -35 or colder, exposed skin can freeze in less than ten minutes. There is also an increased risk of hypothermia for people who stay outside for long periods of time without adequate protection. Overexposure can result in severe injury and even death. Ottawa Public Health recommends that you wear several layers of clothing to keep warm and make sure that the outer layer protects you from wind and moisture.

Frostbite results when the skin and underlying tissues freeze.

Skin is white and waxy and feels hard to the touch. Frostbite is a serious condition that can require amputation. Medical attention is advised. Frostnip is a mild form of frostbite where only the skin freezes. Both frostbite and frostnip can be treated by gradually warning skin using body heat or warm water. Never rub or massage affected areas.

Apples will be topic at Horticultural Society meeting Special to the News

News - “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

This familiar saying telling about the effects of apples on health dates to 19th century Wales where the earliest known example of the use of a similar phrase made it into print in 1866.

And, in keeping with this phrase, apples indeed do have a legitimate claim to promote health as they contain vitamin C which aids the immune system and phenols which reduce cholesterol. Apples also reduce tooth decay by cleaning the teeth and killing off bacteria. There is also some research that suggests that quercetin found in apples protects brain cells against neuro-degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s Disease.

About 69 million tons of apples were grown around the world in 2010, with China producing almost half of this total. The United States is the next leading producer of apples, followed by Turkey, Italy, India and Poland.

Apples are often eaten raw but apples can also be found in many prepared foods, especially desserts.

The apple tree was perhaps the earliest known tree to

be cultivated, originating in eastern Turkey. Apples were brought to North America by colonists in the 17th century.

There are more than 7,500 cultivars of apples, varying according to their yield and size of tree.

Commercially popular apples today are soft but crisp. Other desired qualities in modern apple growing are a colourful skin, absence of russeting, ease of shipping, lengthy storage ability, high yields, disease resistance, common apple shape and flavour.

Modern apples are generally sweeter than apples of long ago.

You can find out about apples and more specifically about growing apples locally at the January meeting of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society as Randy Maguire from Harvest Moon Orchard near Carp will be the guest speaker, sharing his insights about apples.

Everyone is welcome to attend this upcoming meeting which will take place on Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 7:30

After a scoreless first period, Shane Hiley got the Rams on the scoreboard at the 49 second mark of the second period when he scored goal, assisted by Cole Carter and Riley McGuire. The Rams scored two more goals in the

second period, coming off the sticks of Connor Cobbold and Mike DiBello. The DiBello goal came while the Rams were playing short handed due to a penalty. Troy Hass and Ben Wade assisted on the Cobbold goal while Riley McGuire picked up his second assist of the game on the DiBello marker.

Leading 3-0 going into the third period, the Rams scored at the 1:52 mark to make it 4-0, with Troy Hass scoring, with Connor Cobbold picking up an assist on the goal.

It stayed 4-0 for the Rams until the 17 minute mark of this final period when the hometown Shawville Pontiacs scored their only goal of the game which ended with the Stittsville Rams winning by a 4-1 score.

The Stittsville Rams had 35 shots on the Shawville net in

this game.

The Stittsville Rams followed up this victory over Shawville Pontiacs last Friday night with a 7-1 victory over the Almonte Thunder in Almonte last Saturday night.

The Rams led 1-0 after the first period and 4-1 after two periods of play before scoring the only three goals of the third period to win by a 7-1 margin.

Scoring for the Rams in this game were seven different players – Talmadge Farnes, Troy Hass, Mitch Kerwin, Connor Cobbold, Mike DiBello, Jake Oliver and Shane Hiley.

Picking up assists in this game for the Rams were Shane Hiley, James Redmond and Cole Carter, all with two assists, and Matt Allan, Jordan Boutillier, Talmadge Farnes, TJ Patterson and Mitch Kerwin, all with one assist each.

Bus trip for afternoon of fun at Slots Special to the News

News - It’s fun to go to the Slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

And a fun way to get there and back, with no fuss and hassle and with someone else doing the driving, is to go on the monthly bus trip from Stittsville to the Slots.

Organized by Marion Gullock, these bus trips are happening on the

first Wednesday of each month. Everyone is welcome.

The bus will leave from the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena at 12 noon, travelling directly to the Slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway.

The bus will return to Stittsville and the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena at 5 p.m.

So, it’s just a great afternoon of fun and entertainment at the Slots.

You can join the Winners Circle group and receive $5 off your lunch and $10 in playing money for the Slots.

This bus transportation to and from the Slots costs only $10 which is quite a deal, even in these days of lower gas prices. Someone else does

the driving and you get dropped off right at the Slots and picked up right there after your afternoon of fun.

Who knows? You might be coming home with some big winnings. No guarantee but what is guaranteed is that you will be coming home with an afternoon of enjoyment in your memory bank.

The next bus trip from Stittsville

to the Slots at the Rideau Carleton Raceway is happening on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

What a great way to get a little relief from the winter blahs!

It’s also change from renova- screen so that those at overflow occasions tions undertaken involving the existing church building, with a new chancel at the east (Stittsville Main Street) end and with the seating totally reversed to face eastward rather than westward as previously.

Entrance to the worship space is now new as well, with the worship space accessed by a main doorway in what used to be the church’s west wall behind the area that was formerly the chancel area of the church.

The church is now accessed from outside by a main door at the west end of the new 1,500 square foot addition. Upon entering the church by these new main doors, a person can go up a flight of stairs to a new gathering area that takes up much of the new addition or can go down stairs to what is as yet an unfinished basement area but which eventually will be a second basement meeting hall area, connected with the church’s existing basement hall but separated from it by an expanded kitchen area.

There’s lot of other changes, like air conditioning in the sancutary, a new office area for the minister, a new meeting room and a new children’s liturgy area (in the area which was formerly the minister’s office area). There’s also new carpet in the sanctuary.

The church’s office administrator Geppy Walton has new flooring in her workspace which now has connections not only to the worship space but also to the gathering area.

such as funerals or major church feasts can view the proceedings in the worship space while not being very far away, just outside the worship space entrance door. Previously the church offered such an opportunity but it meant being in the basement hall of the church.

There is also a fully accessible washroom located adjacent to the gathering area.

All of these changes have come about as a result of the congregation wanting the church to be fully accessible.

Doug Kendall of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville stands in the newly renovated and reversed sanctuary that has happened in conjunction with the new addition to the church that now makes it fully accessible. Some of the pews in the church are from the earlier Presbyterian Church on Carp Road while others date to the opening of the current church in 1956. The re-aligned arrangement inside the church has made the stained glass windows now behind the chancel much more noticeable than previously when that wall was the back of the sanctuary.

Addition makes church fully accessible Continued from page 25

It took 12 years of fund raising to make it all happen, including a major change of plans, but it is now all a reality.

Minister Rev. Doug Kendall points out that the goal of the addition and renovations was to make the church fully accessible, not to make the sanctuary larger, although the sanctuary has been totally reversed.

There is a lift now in the new addition, just inside the entrance doors, which provides full access both to the new gathering area and the worship area beyond it as well as to the church basement, both new and old areas.

Initially, an addition on the north side of the building facing Mulkins Street was the plan.

This would have kept the same alignment of seating and other features in the church itself.

However, the plan changed, with the addition being shifted to the west side of the church, jutting out into the parking lot area.

This change meant some interior renovations to the worship space that had not initially been envisioned but all of these worship space renovations were

carried out by members of the congregation itself. The new addition was built under contract to Clouthier Custom Carpentry but the worship space renovations including building the raised chancel, installing new lighting and new ceiling fans, and relocating the sound booth and the clothes rack were all done by members of the congregation.

With all of this new happening, there is also the re-introduction of something old in the mix.

The wooden pulpit that was used in the previous St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church which was on Carp Road from 1875 to 1956 now has a prominent place on the new chancel as it has been called back into service as the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pulpit. The pulpit had been being used as a place for the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guest book up until now.

St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church held its first service in the new expanded and renovated church on Christmas Eve. Originally it had been planned that the first service would probably be at Easter 2015 but the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency and enthusiasm and support among the congregation meant that the project moved along quicker than origi-

nally thought.

An occupancy permit was granted on Dec. 19 and even on Christmas Eve day, tile was still being laid by a contractor in the gathering area space.

But everything was ready for the Christmas Eve services, with even an overflow crowd, making the new video system in the gathering area come in handy.

There are still some finishing touches to be done at the church, including some painting and millwork but members of the congregation are volunteering for various tasks as the congregation and church minister Rev. Doug Kendall want to see everything get shipshape as soon as possible.

The stairs leading up to the gathering area from the new entrance doors has a central handrail that was made by a member of the congregation. This central handrail is able to be removed so that a casket at a funeral can be easily carried up the stairs.

The sod turning for this new addition took place on Sunday, May 25, with the formal sod turning carried out by young Tegan Cavanagh, who was turning two years old in September,

and Madeleine McEwing, one of the congregationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior members. The event was attended by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

During July and August, the congregation held its worship services in the basement hall of the church as the renovations were underway in the church sanctuary, with scaffolding in place for some of the work being done.

However, this had a benefit for the congregation as the basement proved to be a cooler spot than the church itself on some of the warm Sundays. This will not be a problem in the future as the sanctuary has now been air conditioned as part of the renovations. The new gathering area is also air conditioned.

The new gathering area is proving popular for after-service gatherings, with many of the congregation now lingering in the area following a service. Coffee was always served following services but it used to be served in the basement hall, meaning some did not participate.

St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church Continued from page 27

Now, the coffee and refreshments are available in the new gathering area right outside the worship area and more seem to be staying and chatting, building church spirit.

The new lift is also seeing use already, as it is not only for those in wheelchairs but also is there for use by those who have difficulty with the stairs due to a physical disability or an injury.

St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church will be hosting a monthly meeting of the Ottawa Presbytery in March which will give the church an opportunity to show the new addition and church renovations to the members of the Presbytery.

The Presbytery did provide a $100,000 grant to St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to help with the costs of the project.

There will also be a dedication service for the addition and renovations at some time John Curry/Metroland in the near future.

There has been a PresbyteSt. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church office administrator Geppy Walton, left, and Rev.

Prior to that, Presbyterian adherents in Stittsville gathering area and adjoining worship area and the church basement.

were part of the Presbyterian congregation that worshipped at Huntley, six miles north of Stittsivlle on what is now the Carp Road.

The Huntley Presbyterian Church burned in the Carleton County Fire of 1870, with a new church being built not at Huntley but at Old Stittsville which is now the Carp Road in Stittsville.

Construction of the new church began in 1872 and was completed in 1875.

With postwar growth in Stittsville, it was decided that this church on Carp Road at Old Stittsville was becoming too small and a decision was made to build a new church at the current site at the corner of what is now Mulkins Street and Stittsville Main Street. The last service in the old church was in April, 1956 with the new church being dedicated later that same month.

The old church building still stands and is currently an apartment building at what is now the corner of Carp Road and Hobin Street at the entrance to the Crossing Bridge Estate subdivision in Stittsville.

Top female ďŹ nisher was Kuniko Soda of Ottawa who recorded a time of 40 minutes, 35 seconds.

Top local ďŹ nisher in the 5K Road Race was Jenny Miller of Richmond who had a time of 24 minutes, 48 seconds which was good for 12th place among the

News - Efforts are being made to form a community association for residents of Stittsville west of Stittsville Main Street and south of Abbott Street.

This includes the neighbourhoods of Cypress Gardens, West Ridge Drive, Fernbank Road and Etta Street as well as other areas.

Catalyst for this effort is the proposed development involving a wetland area called Cypress Gardens 3, officially listed as 6279 Fernbank Road, which calls for the construction of about 150 housing units.

However, while this community association is being formed initially to help support the community’s presence at an upcoming Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) hearing about the subdivision and keeping local residents better informed about the proposal, it is expected that this new community association will become in the future a cohesive agent for residents of the area, providing a voice in dealings with the city of Ottawa.

Both city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and the Stittsville Village Association are supporting this effort to establish a community association in this areas of Stittsville as such community associations can be helpful in showing support for community positions in issues at city hall.

A community group meeting to initiate the formation of this new community association will take place on Monday, Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. at

the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville.

This meeting will also be used as an opportunity to provide an update on the status of the development application and on the OMB hearing.

Discussions involving the city of Ottawa, the developer, a committee of immediate neighbours of the development site and wetland and the OMB have resulted in an “issues list” that will be discussed at the OMB hearing (PL131306) which is scheduled to take place from Monday, April 20 to Friday, May 1, 2015 at Ottawa city hall.

Among the issues are high ground water levels, storm water management, feasibility of development in such a constrained area, design of the proposal and effects on neighbouring properties and streets including road safety.

Keldine FitzGerald, a long time resident of Elm Crescent whose property borders on the proposed development site, is a designated party for the OMB hearing, representing the entire community.

To get in touch with the committee of immediate neighbours of the site which is concerned about the proposal and which is leading the effort to form a community association, please email Keldine FitzGerald at keldine@keldine. ca.

Letter to editor: Beyond outrageous

Editor: Re: Letter to the editor: “Avoid what causes fear” in the Jan. 8, 2015 issue of the Stittsville News.

This response to an earlier letter from a woman who is afraid of dogs and asks owners to have their animals under control when she passes by on a public walking path is beyond outrageous.

The writer describes herself as a responsible dog owner. If this were true, she would not be so arrogantly dismissive of anyone’s fear of her pets.

It’s fine for her to say she avoids the critters that frighten her by not travelling to exotic locations ….. Is she seriously expecting her neighbours to avoid walking outdoors because she declines to control her dogs?

She suggests the fearful woman should “change her tone” when speaking to dog owners. How does she know what “tone” the woman uses? When people are extremely fearful,

they aren’t concerned about social niceties, nor should they be.

The wording of her further suggestion about repeating an action and expecting a different result is gratuitous and borders on slander.

Perhaps a little reminder of the Oxford definition of “responsible” is in order: 1. Having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone; 2. Being the cause of something and so able to be blamed or credited for it; 3. Capable of being trusted, reliable.

The writer shoots herself in the foot, again, by making the point that Stittsville doesn’t have an official “off-leash” park. The lack of this kind of facility doesn’t mean that dog owners are free to let their dogs run loose anywhere they choose. City of Ottawa bylaws require all dogs to be on a leash and under control in public areas.

Lynne Owen Richmond resident and proud, truly responsible dog owner

OEB consulting on pipeline

CASINONIGHT

Special to the News

News - The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) is returning to the area for the second round of its community consultations regarding the proposed Energy East pipeline passing through the province.

This Energy East pipeline is proposed to cross through Goulbourn, just west of both Stittsville and Richmond.

Earlier this year, the OEB held a community consultation in Stittsville as part of its province-wide consultation about the proposed Energy East pipeline and its impacts, both positive and negative, on communities in the province.

At the time, the OEB said that it would be returning for a second round of consultations and the date and location of this second community consultation has been announced.

It will happen on Thursday, Jan. 22 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata. This is one of seven such community consultations which the OEB is holding across the province in January, starting at Kenora on Tuesday, Jan. 13 before moving on to Thunder Bay on Wednesday, Jan. 14, Kapuskasing on Monday, Jan. 19, Timmins on Tuesday, Jan. 20 and North Bay on Wednesday, Jan. 21. It will then be at the Brookstreet hotel in Kanata on Thursday, Jan. 22 before ending up the consultation sessions with one in Cornwall on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

Each of these community discussion sessions will run from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. The first and last half hour of these meetings will be conducted in an â&#x20AC;&#x153;open houseâ&#x20AC;? format.

At these community consultation sessions,

the OEB will be presenting assessments of the Energy East pipeline application made by TransCanada Pipelines to the National Energy Board. These assemsnets will have been prepared by the OEBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical advisors.

The OEB will also be looking for feedback from residents on how well the Energy East applications addresses the potential impacts which were identified by people taking part in the initial community consultation as well as those identified by Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Minister of Energy.

In its original round of community consultations on this Energy East pipeline proposal, the OEB sought input on four areas of potential impact by the proposed pipeline: pipeline safety and the environment, natural gas supply, First Nation and Metis communities and economic impact.

Along with these seven community discussions now being held in January about the proposed Energy East pipeline proposal, the OEB is also going to be meeting with First Nation communities as well as Metis communities. In addition, the OEB will be holding a stakeholder forum in January.

Ontario residents can also provide their views and perspectives on the proposed pipeline through written submissions. The deadline for receive of such written submissions will be Friday, Feb. 6, 2015.

For more information on this OEB community consultation process by the OEB, visit www.ontarioenergyboard.ca/oebenergyeast or contact the OEBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-party facilitator at energyeast@swerhun.com or at 416-572-4365.

Root vegetable and chicken salad makes great lunch or dinner and serves four people Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Lifestyle - Who doesn’t love a cosy comforting chicken dinner?

Here’s a quick way to get your fix in a winter salad.

Feel free to use two cups (500 ml) leftover cooked chicken or turkey.

Preparation time: 15 minutes.

Roasting time: 30 minutes. Serves four.

This recipe for root vegetable and chicken salad is being repeated from the Jan. 8 issue of the Stittsville News as the preparation instructions were incorrect in that issue of the newspaper.

Ingredients * 500 g (1 lb) boneless skinless Ontario chicken thighs * 7 ml (1-1/2 tsp) dried sage leaves * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) paprika (preferably sweet smoked) * 1/4 peeled Ontario rutabaga, cut into 5-cm (2-inch) pieces * 3 peeled Ontario carrots, cut into 5-cm (2inch) pieces * 2 peeled Ontario parsnips, cut into 5-cm (2-inch) pieces * 20 ml (4 tsp) olive oil * 50 ml (1/4 cup) each dried cranberries and pecans

Dressing * 25 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil * 15 ml (1 tbsp) white wine vinegar * 5 ml (1 tsp) coarse grain Dijon mustard * 50 ml (1/4 cup) coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves Preparation Instructions: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Sprinkle chicken with sage, half each of the sale and papper and the paprika. Place chicken at one end of one baking sheet; place rutabaga at other end. Place carrots and parsnips onto second baking sheet. Drizzle 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of the oil over carrot mixture and 1 tsp (5 mL) over rutabaga.

Sprinkle vegetables with remaining salt and pepper; stir. Roast in 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven for 15 minutes. Stir and rotate baking sheets. Roast until vegetables are tender and golden; and juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 10 to 15 minutes.

Place vegetables into large bowl. When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred into pieces; add to vegetables along with cranberries and pecans.

Dressing: In small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar and mustard, Pour over chicken mixture; add tarragon and toss to coat.

Nutritional information: One serving as 25 grams of protein, 23 grams of fat, 27 grams of carbohydrate, 410 calories, 5 grams of fibre and 475 mg of sodium.

Stittsville Swarm are Peewee House ‘A’ champs in recent 2015 Bell Capital Cup hockey tourney Special to the News

Sports - The Stittsville Swarm are the Peewee House ‘A’ champions in the 2015 Bell Capital Cup tournament.

The Bell Capital Cup tournament, which took place from Dec. 29, 2014 to Jan. 2, 2015, is a festival celebrating the game of hockey, with teams involved from across Canada, the United States and around the world.

The Stittsville Swarm opened the tournament with a 9-0 victory over the Leitrim Hawks.

Brayden Pike of the Swarm was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the game award with his two goals and two assists. Joshua Lapointe received the team’s Hardest Worker (HW) award for his play including his fierce back checking.

In their second game of the tournament, the Swarm went up against the Nepean Attack. It was tied 2-2 at the end of the first period but then the Swarm stepped up their play, skating to a 6-3 victory. Josh Dickson had two goals and an assist in this game, earning the MVP award.

Cole Sheldrick received the HW medal with his goal and an assist.

In the team’s third and final round robin game, the Swarm recorded a 5-0 shutout win over the Ottawa East Eagles. Max Roxburgh received the MVP trophy with a goal and an assist while Niko Hatzitheodosiou earned the HW medal, scoring a goal.

The Bell Capital Cup skills competition was held on Wednesday, Dec. 31 with the Swarm involved in all of the events.

The trio of Josh Lapointe, Brendan Grandy and Carter Stone earned trophies for winning the power play challenge.

The group of Niko Hatzitheodosiou, Zach Lawrence, Max Roxburgh, Brayden Pike and Owen McNaughton won the team relay race.

The Stittsville Swarm entered the tournament playoffs as the highest seed in their division, gaining home advantage for the playoff round.

On New Year’s Day, the Swarm faced the West End Dusters in quarter-final play, getting off to a great start with three goals in the first period. The game ended up 7-1 for the Swarm, with seven different players each scoring a goal.

Connor Marriage received the MVP award with his goal and an assist while Owen McNaughton took home the HW medal. Owen had an assist in the game.

With semi-final action, the Stittsville Swarm really found themselves in a challenging situation. It was a very spirited game against the Kahnawake Mohawks with a number of body checking and roughing penalties.

It was just 3-2 for Stittsville when halfway through the third period, Cole Sheldrick hit Brayden Pike in full stride with a great stretch pass. Brayden beat the Kahnawake defense before deking out the goalie and finding the back of the net.

The Stittsville Swarm held on for a 4-2 victory.

Zach Lawrence received the team’s MVP award in this game while Robert Forward was award the HW medal, both receiving recognition for their outstanding defensive work which shut down the Kahnawake forwards.

After a few hours of rest, it was off to the Canadian Tire Centre for the Peewee House ‘A’ championship game with the Swarm facing their hometown rivals, the Stittsville Sting – an all-Stittsville final!

The Swarm opened the scoring but the Stittsville Sting answered back late in the first period.

But the Swarm then scored just 21 seconds later to take a 2-1 lead into the second period.

The Swarm scored two more goals in the third period to secure a 4-1 victory and capture the 2015 Bell Capital Cup Peewee House ‘A’ championship.

This championship game was even televised on local TV and was streamed online.

Connor Marriage was recognized as the Hardest Worker in the game for the Stittsville Swarm while Sam Wilson received the HW medal for the Stittsville Sting.

Chosen as the three stars in this championship game were first star Brayden Pike of the Stittsville Swarm as first star for scoring a hat trick; second star Jack Beaulieu of the Stittsville Sting for scoring his team’s lone goal of the game after a great rush up the ice; and third star Robert Forward of the Stittsville Swarm for his shut down defence and earning a couple of assists.

Richmond Village Association Community Appreciation Evening John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always good to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank Youâ&#x20AC;? to those who have helped you in some way.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just what the Richmond Village Association (RVA) did on Tuesday evening, Jan. 6 as the organization held a Community Appreciation Evening to thank its supporters and volunteers for their involvement in 2014.

This Community Appreciation Evening was held at the La Casa Di Zia Mia Restaurant on McBean Street in Richmond where the RVA provided cheese trays, assorted appetizers and nonalcoholic drinks for the enjoyment of all who attend.

Indeed, all residents of Richmond were welcome to attend, not just the RVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partners, sponsors and volunteers.

And, in reality, the RVA had a lot to be thankful for in 2014 which president Tino Bevacqua has called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a banner yearâ&#x20AC;? for

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM MS. â&#x20AC;&#x153; MO â&#x20AC;&#x153;

I would love to have a family who would just pet me, love me and keep me close to their heart. I was abandoned by my previous owner and left on the doorstep when they moved away... I am not the youngest but not ancient either... still have so much life and love left in me that I hope you are out there hearing my plea and will open your heart and home ... I know I would give so much back to you in affection, cuddles and be so grateful to be loved by you. Have a wonderful silvery tabby fur with gold speckles a slim and trim, lady and I am spayed too.

For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info. Looking for volunteers and foster families to help out with cat care. We are a registered charity. R0013087930

Under advocacy, president Bevacqua listed the following: reached a precedent setting agreement at the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) for the proposed Caivan subdivision in the western development lands in Richmond; supported a planning amendment reclassifying a portion of industrial lands in southeast Richmond to future residential; presented a position on the proposed oil pipeline conversion to the Ontario Energy Board; held an all-candidates meeting and provided website exposure for candidates in the October municipal election; and monitored the discussion about the future of Munster Elementary School and the potential impacts on Richmond schools.

Under management/administration, the following have been listed: improved operating structure and secured all physical assets in a secure storage facility; moved meetings to public venues, with all future RVA general meetings to be held at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall; launched an accounting system and

a “cloud based” record management system for all corporate records; documented policies and procedures for several key activities such as fundraising, the quarterly information flyer, sponsorships, advertising, and the student and volunteer of the year awards; created guidelines for website, calendar and social media content; grew sponsorships and paid directory listings to 63 businesses; and renewed a three year City of Ottawa Community Funding agreement.

This free service is provided in the community twice a month. Residents in need of this service and volunteers wanting to assist with the program should phone 613-692-4697.
