Will day care changes impact Stittsville? John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) wants to know if home day care providers in the community are concerned about proposed changes in provincial regulations pertaining to day care providers. The provincial government is considering increasing the number of children allowed in licensed day care providers while changing the regulations regarding private home day care providers so that the provider must include his or her own children in the five children allowed. Up until now, a private
home day care provider could look after five children plus his or her own. “Personally I don’t think it’s a good thing,� SVA director Ayah Stretch told the SVA executive at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 9 where this issue was on the agenda. She is a private home day care provider. SVA president Phil Sweetnam suggested that the SVA provide input to the provincial government about the issue but Ms. Stretch advised that the SVA hold off to see if Stittsville residents indicate their concern on the matter or not. She said that currently a lot of people are unaware of the proposals. She said that some private home day
cares may close if the numbers that can be handled are reduced. She said that then there will be a shortage in the community and higher costs will prevail, affecting parents. She suggested that the SVA should take some action if Stittsville residents contact the SVA with concerns about the issue. The Stittsville Village Association website can be found at www.stittsvilleva.com. The president of the SVA is Phil Sweetnam who can be contacted at 613-831-9955 or via email at phil@pbcsweetnam.com while the vice-president of the SVA is Theresa Qadri who can be contacted via email at theresaq@rogers.com.

News - Stittsville’s service clubs and community organizations now have a window to the world as it were. Four and eventually six of these blue billboard signs for the display of signage for Stittsville’s service clubs and community organizations have now been erected by the city of Ottawa at key entrance or traffic points in Stittsville. There are eight spots on each sign where a service club or community organization identification sign can be placed. The only qualification for going on the sign is that the service club or community organization must be associated with Stittsville. There is no charge to a service club or community organization for placing a logo or identification sign on the larger sign. However, the service club or community organization must pay for their individual sign. A service club or community organization can opt to go on all of the signs or on just one or more of them as desired. The service club sign along the north side of Hazeldean Road just west of the Carp River bridge at the beginning of the Grant Crossing shopping area currently has six Stittsville service clubs or community organizations repreJOHN CURRY/METROLAND sented on it. These include Stittsville Scouting, At the newly-erected community service club sign for the Stittsville community on the Stittsville District Lions Club, the Rotary Hazeldean Road at the Grant Crossing shopping area are, from left, Stittsville District Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, the Goulbourn Lions Club president Beth Lewis, Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville president Alfredo Township Historical Society, the Stittsville Patricio and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Goulbourn Horticultural Society and the Stitts-
ville Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. These service club billboard signs have been erected on Fernbank Road just west of the Walmart shopping area; on Hazeldean Road at the Grant Crossing shopping area; on the south side of Hazeldean Road just east of Stittsville Main Street; and on Carp Road just south of Rothbourne Road. Two other signs are still to be erected: one on east side of Stittsville Main Street at Bell Memorial Park, just north of Fernbank Road, and another on Palladium Drive just west of the Carp River. It is possible that the sign now on the south side of Hazeldean Road just east of Stittsville Main Street may be relocated farther west along Hazeldean Road. Another feature of these service club billboard signs may be the placement of banner sign attached to the sign’s two posts stretching below the main area of the sign. Such a banner sign would be to accommodate identification of a community-wide community association such as the Stittsville Village Association in Stittsville. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is currently working out with city staff the feasibility and protocol to make this happen. It was councillor Qadri who implemented the erection of these service club billboard signs in Stittsville. Two councillors in adjacent city wards, Marianne Wilkinson in Kanata North and Allan Hubley in Kanata South, have also both opted to have such service club billboard signs erected in their wards.

Commercial floor area, dwelling unit targets for Stittsville Main Street John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Thirty-two thousands square metres of commercial floor area and 1,550 dwelling units are the targets set out in the draft Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. These overall targets are broken down in the draft plan into targets for each of the four sections of the street that the plan has identified: the Carp Road Node Precinct extending from Hazeldean Road to the intersection of Hobin Street and Wildpine Court (12,000 square metres of commercial space and 350 dwelling units); the Poole Creek Precinct from Hobin Street to Andrew Alexander Court (9,000 square metres of commercial area and 500 dwelling units); the Village Centre precinct from Andrew Alexander Court to Elm Crescent (6,000 square metres of commercial area and 400 dwelling units); and the Southern Gateway Precinct of Elm Crescent to Bell Street (5,000 square metres of commercial area and 300 dwelling units). Setting these targets for growth along Stittsville Main Street is consistent with the growth management strategy in the Provincial Policy Statement and with the city’s Official Plan. Such targets are set for properties that are along Traditional Mainstreets as outlined in the Official Plan which includes Stittsville Main Street. This draft Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street is proposing policies regarding the height of buildings, parking and other matters. With regard to building height, the draft plan calls for a building height of no more than six storeys for mixed use buildings that front on Stittsville Main Street. Parking is to be provid-
ed below ground or in the rear. Where the road right of way is less than 20 metres wide like in the area just south of Abbott Street, the maximum height for buildings will be three storeys. The generally deep lots on Stittsville Main Street are seen as an opportunity for building low-rise residential dwelling units to provide for a transition down in building heights from the higher building along the street to the lower residential housing in abutting neighbourhoods. There will be no parking requirement for retail, restaurant and personal services uses along Stittsville Main Street. The plan calls for the city to pursue opportunities to secure pedestrian linkages to Stittsville Main Street from surrounding residential neighbourhoods. The plan does make a reference to allowing mixed-use buildings up to 25 metres and eight storeys in height along Stittsville Main Street at the north end beyond Carp Road. This draft Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street is being unveiled at a public open house this Thursday, Jan. 16 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. There will be a panel discussion and a question and answer session starting at 6:30 p.m. This Community Design Plan all began back in Nov. 2010 when city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri brought a motion to city council asking for a work plan to develop either site-specific design guidelines or a Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street. The motion came in response to city approval that was granted for a five storey mixed residential/commercial building and a group of townhoomes on Stittsville Main Street just south of the Stittsville Legion Hall. Community response was that the five storey devel-
opment was inappropriate given the building height of 11 metres that had been allowed up to that point. Under the city’s Official Plan, Stittsville Main Street has been designated as a Traditional Mainstreet and this means intensification of development along the street. However, there is a conflict between this Official Plan designation and policy and a policy that stems from the Master Plan and Urban Design Guidelines for the street from the former Goulbourn township. The Community Design Plan is needed to resolve this conflict. This Community Design Plan has a 20 year vision but acknowledges that the growth scenarios outlined in the plan will evolve slowly and likely go beyond the projected 20 year time frame of the plan itself. This Community Design Plan gives the following population figures for Stittsville over a 20 year span from 2011 to 2031. Population in 2011 is 27,000 while in 2021 it is projected to be 51,500. In 2031, the population is seen as 70,500. The number of households over this 2011-2031 time frame is seen as 9,000 households in 2011; 21,900 households in 2021; and 30,500 households in 2031. The Community Design Plan recommends that the future intensification along Stittsville Main Street should be supported by a storm water management plan since intensification typically increases the imperviousness of surfaces and creates additional runoff that has to be managed. This draft Community Design Plan also address concerns about the volume of traffic along Stittsville Main Street that intensification of development along the street may cause. The plan notes that traffic volumes have not been significantly affected by the shift to an urban form of development along Traditional
Mainstreet corridors in other parts of the city. As a result, the plan envisions that Stittsville Main Street will continue to function as a primary route to move traffic in a north/south direction in the community. That’s why the plan feels that it is important that Stittsville Main Street develop in a form that will encourage a compact mixed use and walkable environment rather than the current auto-oriented, low rise pattern of development. It sees Stittsville Main Street evolving as an accessible service hub for the surrounding community rather than its current limited function as a conduit for traffic movement. This is considered to reflect the healthy evolution of urban development patterns as directed by the city’s Official Plan. Capital improvements projects along Stittsville Main Street suggested in this draft Community Design Plan include streetscape improvements to be done when street reconstruction takes place such as transit shelters, widened sidewalks, decorative streetlights, street trees, benches and refuse containers; cycling facilities within the street right-of-way, again to be done when street reconstruction takes place; community gateway markers at appropriate locations; extending the Poole Creek pathway along Poole Creek to the north; widening the Poole Creek channel and naturalize the banks at the Poole Creek bridge when street reconstruction happens; a pathway linking Ralph Street Park to Stittsville Main Street at Elm Crescent; design and install public art pieces at Village Square Park, a proposed pedestrian entrance to the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Centre and at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library; upgrading the Trans Canada Trail on the west side of Stittsville Main Street; and installing a landmark landscape feature at the north end of Bell Memorial Park.
Former SVA director sees ‘contentious issues’ in plan john.curry@metroland.com
News - The draft Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street has “contentious issues” in the view of former Stittsville Village Association (SVA) director David Jenkins. During his years on the SVA executive, Mr. Jenkins handled planning issues in the community. He told the SVA executive at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 9 that the “contentious issues” related to the proposed Community Design Plan are largely about the height of buildings along Stittsville Main Street. The draft plan would allow six storey buildings along much of the street with very little setback from the street. In addition, the draft Community Design Plan would allow eight storey buildings in the area of Stittsville Main Street from the Carp Road in-
tersection north to Hazeldean Road. With regard to this proposal, Mr. Jenkins admitted that he did not know where such a proposal came from, asserting that it was never discussed by the Public Advisory Committee. In fact, Mr. Jenkins claimed that a lot of items in the draft Community Design Plan were never discussed at the Public Advisory Committee level, saying that the Committee did not
provide much in the way of advice with regard to the plan. SVA director Tanya Hein, who was involved with the Public Advisory Committee as a public member, said that in reading the draft Community Design Plan, she saw no connection between the Public Advisory Committee discussions and the proposed document. Mr. Jenkins said that at the Com-

munity Design Plan public meetings, the public indicated that it did not want more than three storey buildings on Stittsville Main Street. This is the existing height limit. He admitted that the conversion of Stittsville Main Street to the city’s image of a Traditional Main Street as called for in the Official Plan will require considerable intensification. But he called such intensification “one of the main issues” with regard
to the proposed Community Design Plan for the street. This draft Community Design Plan will be officially released at a public open house at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville this Thursday, Jan. 16 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be a panel discussion and question and answer session at 6:30 p.m. The draft Community Design Plan is now available on the city of Ottawa website.

Guitar duo entertains at Gaia Java shop John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Robert Wannell Duo let their guitars do the talking in their performance at the Gaia Java Coffee
Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening, Jan. 10. The pair, both playing the guitar, did not introduce their instrumental jazz offerings but rather went from one to the next after a brief pause,
punctuated by the applause from the just about capacity audience at the coffee shop. Their musical offerings varied although always in the easy listening mode – some slow, some a little
faster, but all melodic. Rob Wannell was joined in this duo performance by fellow guitarist Justin Orok. Both of them have performed at a Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop previously. Friday music evenings at 7 p.m. at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Cen-
tre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville are free and open to everyone. The only advice is to arrive early for the best seating. On Friday, Jan. 24, the Friday music evening at Gaia Java will feature the Zukari Frantz Duo featuring an alto sax and electronics with percussion.

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.”

Trio of personalities at International Women’s Day celebration Continued from page 1
Radio and TV personality Angie Poirier will be the MC for the evening. The keynote speaker will be Suzanne Pinel, a renowned entertainer known for the TV series “Marie-Soleil” who is now a citizenship judge and who has been honoured as a Member of the Order of Canada and a member of the Order of Ontario. Guest speaker will be Michelle Valberg, an award-winning Canadian photographer who has self-published two books including “Dare to Dream …A Celebration of Canadian Women.” The event is being hosted by Theresa Qadri, the Ottawa-Stittsville International Women’s Day Committee and Distinctive Women magazine which profiles female corporate and community leaders. The Stittsville celebration will provide an opportunity for women to connect with peers, colleagues, friends and family while celebrating International Women’s Day. The evening will feature live music by Marie Tsoukanas. There will be a leading women award ceremony as well. In addition, there will be massage and other “pampering” booths as well as hors d’oeuvres and more including a cash bar and celebrity servers including former Ottawa police chief and
now Senator Vern White. Tickets for the event will be $30 per person. This International Women’s Day celebration will be supporting the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health – Women For Mental Health, with donations for this charity accepted at the event. For more information about this International Women’s Day celebration in Stittsville, please contact Ashley Robson at 647-729-0945 or 905-580-5615 (cell) or via email at arobson@profilesofdistinction.com or Theresa Qadri at 613-620-6245 (cell) or via email at theresaq@rogers.com . International Women’s Day formally happens on March 8 every year. The event traces its history back to the
earliest Women’s Day observances in 1908, 1909 and 1910. It was in 1911 that International Women’s Day was marked for the first time after a 1910 International Women’s Conference had supported the holding of such a day to promote equal rights including suffrage for women. It was in 1914 that this new International Women’s Day was held on March 8, the date now universally recognized as International Women’s Day. From its official adoption in Russia following the Soviet Revolution in 1917, International Women’s Day was predominantly celebrated in communist and socialist countries including China from 1922 and Spain from 1936.
In the West, International Women’s Day was first observed as a widespread event after 1977 when the United Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the United Nations Day for women’s rights and world peace. International Women’s Day now usually has a theme. The 2010 International Women’s Day focused on the hardships which women displaced by armed conflicts endure. The 2011 International Women’s Day was a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the formal founding of the event. In the United States, president Barack Obama called on Americans to mark International Women’s Day by reflecting on the extraordi-
nary accomplishments of women in shaping the country’s history. In 2012, the United Nations’ theme for International Women’s Day was “Empower rural women – End hunger and poverty.” In 2013, the United Nations theme for International Women’s Day was “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women.” In recent years, International Women’s Day has been a celebration of the positives regarding women in the world rather than a focus on the negatives. International Women’s Day events around the world are meant to inspire women and to celebrate achievements.

Consulting worth considering
A
mong the many issues that will be raised in the municipal election campaign this year, a discussion about public consultation is one that should be considered by both candidates and voters. A consistent sticking point among members of the public during almost every decision made by the city is the way in which consultation is conducted in Ottawa. Many feel the city fails to provide enough opportunity for the voices of residents to be heard, particularly on the bigger issues affecting specific communities across Ottawa. Others will contend the city doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen even when there is a chance to have a say. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not an issue the city is avoiding. Earlier last year, a series of public sessions were held to ask people how consultation can be conducted better in the hopes of updating a strategy for Ottawa, something that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been done since 2004. Yet complaints persist. An issue might be one where the city decides on a course of action before consulting with residents, as was the case with the green space at 160 Lees Ave. where an LRT construction staging area was proposed. Another would be development proposals where no amount of opposition to a given project appears to alter any
plans whatsoever. Whatever the case may be, people have issues with their ability to participate in the governance of the city. This poses a challenge for candidates, just as it does for the current municipal government. Whether efforts are being made to improve the consultation process or not, at the end of the day, if residents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel as though they can affect decisions made in the city, something is broken. If the public faith in the system is failing, the system itself is failing to a certain extent. Nobody wants to see that happen. The opportunity presented by the current circumstances is that any candidate willing to talk honestly about public consultation will have the attention of a decent number of those who will vote this October. Candidates must be wary however: although there is much work to be done to improve the way the city consults, there are limits. No amount of consultation would make everyone happy in the case of moving Transitway buses to Scott Street, for example. We shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat ourselves over the head to achieve impossible standards. The city should be committing to some form of continuous improvement of public consultation. This commitment needs to come from our leaders and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no better place to look for it than an election.

A bank by any other name
W
ell, it turns out that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not naming the whole of Lansdowne Park after the TD Bank â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just the stadium. Some might call that good news, since the name Lansdowne has historical associations and we should keep as many them as we can. Others might not be so sure, since the name Lansdowne has become associated in the minds of some with years of unpleasant controversy and months of unpleasant construction and traffic. Maybe it would have been smarter to name the whole of Lansdowne Park complex after something else â&#x20AC;&#x201C; another bank, say, or an insurance company. Maybe one of the corporations that used to have its name on the arena where the Senators play would like to get back in the game. Meanwhile, the name Frank Clair, a name with no unpleasant associations whatsoever, is going to disappear and in its place will be the name of a bank. Clair might get a statue. Those with medium-long memories will recall that it was a bit of a struggle to get Clairâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name on the stadium in the first place. Although Clair won three Grey Cups as coach and two more as general manager of

sway. This continues a process all over the world in which names with local relevance are replaced, on stadiums, arenas and theatres, with names that have only corporate relevance. TD is banking, pardon the expression, on an outpouring of goodwill from the public. Every time they attend a football game, even every time they drive past, they will think to themselves: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good old TD Bank! How great that they are bringing us football.â&#x20AC;? Of course, in order for that goodwill to be achieved, TD Bank first has to get past the stage where people try to drive past the stadium, are held up by construction, and think to themselves: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Curses on TD Bank! Frank Clair never caused traffic jams like this.â&#x20AC;? Every time a community gives up a local name and replaces it with a corporate name, it becomes less distinct. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as true in sports and entertainment as it is in retail. As a city gives up its names, it becomes less identifiable. You can remember where Maple Leaf Gardens was, but do you have the same feeling about the Air Canada Centre? A baseball fan knows where Wrigley Field is, or Fenway Park, but can he tell you what city PNC Park is in?
That would be where the Pittsburgh Pirates play. They once played at Forbes Field, named after a war hero. PNC is a bank, by the way. All is not lost. These things come and go in cycles. Naming rights are not sold in perpetuity, and as we have seen, corporations sometimes tire of the thrill of having their names on sports venues. So another bank comes along and puts its name up in lights for a while. Maybe it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t last. One day, the banks may wake up to the danger of losing their identity because all the arenas and stadiums sound like banks now. The answer is simple: start renaming the banks. For a start, how about the Bank of Frank Clair?

Arena gets name, sees sledge hockey action John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Sunday, Feb. 9 is a day that you are going to want to be at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. And specifically you are
going to want to be at the new ice slab now known as Arena B as it will not only be the site of sledge hockey action but also it will be an historic moment as the arena will be officially re-named the Matt Bradley Arena in honour of
Matt Bradley
GIRONES LAWYERS
INJURY LAW
Stittsville native Matt Bradley who played for four teams over his career in the National Hockey League. A ceremony to mark this re-naming of this ice surface as the Matt Bradley Arena will take place at 12:15 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 9. Both before and after the ceremony, sledge hockey will be played on this ice surface. Indeed, one of the arena’s features is that it was designed to be compatible with the playing of sledge hockey. Starting at 8:15 a.m., there will be sledge hockey games taking place featuring local area teams. Following the commemorative naming ceremony, the Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario organization has organized a special sledge hockey game between a team representing the city of Ottawa’s Emergency Services (fire, police and paramedics) versus a local adult team. In addition, at times during the day, interested members of the public will have the opportunity to try out sledge hockey. Sledge Hockey of Eastern
Ontario will have a number of sledge hockey sleds on hand so that this can be done. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri says that he has tried sledge hockey twice in the past and will be trying it again. I fully and wholeheartedly endorse the naming of the new ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in honour of Matt Bradley. Matt Bradley, after whom the arena is being named, grew up in Stittsville and played with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, starting at the age of six with his father Paul as one of his coaches. He then went on to play with the Ottawa Valley Titans, a competitive-level team drawing its players from minor hockey associations across the Valley including Stittsville. He then went on to play for the Cumberland Grads of the Central Junior Hockey League in the 1994-95 season
before being selected by the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League, starring for them for three seasons (1995-1998). Matt played for the Canadian national junior team which competed in the world junior championships in Finland in 1998. He was drafted by the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League in the 1996 draft, chosen 102nd overall, and finally turned professional for the 1998-99 season, playing for the Kentucky Thoroughblades of the American Hockey League. After two full seasons with the Thoroughblades, he split the 2000-2001 season between the Thoroughblades and the San Jose Sharks. He was with the San Jose Sharks full time the next season and remained in the NHL from then through to 2011-2012 season. He played two seasons with the San Jose Sharks before
being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins where he spent the 2003-2004 season. It was then on to Washington for six seasons before he joined the Florida Panthers for the 2011-12 season. In June 2012, the Panthers bought out the remaining year on his two year contract. With the lockout at the start of the 2012-2013 season, Matt went to play for a Finnish second division club but did not subsequently sign on with any other NHL club. All in all, he played 675 games in the National Hockey League, scoring 59 goals and 90 assists while accumulating 562 minutes in penalty. He also played in the Stanley Cup playoffs with San Jose and Washington. A right winger, Matt was considered a solid, hard working player. Particularly in his years with Washington, he was involved in the team’s outreach activities into the community.

Students sign flag for Olympics Special to the News
News - A little touch of Stittsville will be at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. It will be in the form of signatures of a number of Holy Spirit Catholic School students as they have autographed an Olympic flag that will be displayed at the athletes village during the Olympics. It is the initiative of city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who took the Olympic flag to four Ottawa schools for signing by students. One of
the schools selected was Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville and so on Tuesday morning, Jan. 7, the mayor and Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri visited the school to give students the opportunity to sign this Olympic flag that will be off to the Olympics in Sochi. Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville was one of four schools provided with this signing opportunity. The other three schools were in Orleans, Alta Vista and Westboro. Holy Spirit Catholic School was selected when its name was pulled from a hat that con-
tained the names of all of the schools in Stittsville. It was a third party not associated with councillor Qadri’s staff which pulled the name from the hat. The 2014 Winter Olympics at which this autographed Olympic flag will be displayed will take place in Sochi in Russia from Thursday, Feb. 6 to Sunday, Feb. 23. A total of 98 events in 15 winter sports will be held in these Winter Olympics which will be the 22nd Winter Olympics held. Sochi was selected as the host city for these Winter Olympics back in 2007, beating out bids from Salzburg in Austria and Pyeongchang in South Korea. With an average February temperature of 8.3
degrees Celsius, Sochi will be the warmest city to play host to a Winter Olympic Games. The Sochi Olympic Park will be built by the Black Sea coast with venues clustered around a central water basis on which the plaza for the presentation of medals will be located. New venues built for these Winter Games include an Olympic statidum for 40,000 spectators, an ice dome for hockey seating 12,000 spectators, an arena for hockey seating 7,000 spectators, an area for speed skating with viewing for 8,000 spectators, a “skating palace” for figure skating and short track speed skating with 12,000 spectators and a curling centre handling 3,000 spectators.

Co-op placement for Patrick Savard
Peer mentor program at Sacred Heart

News - The co-op work placement for Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 12 student Patrick Savard has not gone down the drain, as it were. Indeed, the 17 year old studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s co-operative education work placement with B & E Plumbing has shown him that working in the trades is something that he enjoys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like the trades,â&#x20AC;? he says about his placement with B & E Plumbing which does plumbing installations in new homes for Mattamy Homes in Kanata. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showing me thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I want to do,â&#x20AC;? Patrick says about this work experience in the trades. He particularly likes that he gets to use his hands out on the job and is not confined to a classroom all day long. On the job, he has gotten to install water tanks, repair leaks, install sinks and other tasks that a plumber handles. He notes that every day is
Patrick Savard different and that he has learned a lot on this coop work placement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plumbing is something I really enjoy,â&#x20AC;? he says. He has been going on this co-op work placement every afternoon in the current semester. Patrick is looking forward to another co-op work placement in the next semester starting in February which may also be in plumbing or perhaps in another trade. Graduating this year, he is thinking of attending Algonquin College while pursuing an apprenticeship in a trade.
Patrick used to play hockey and soccer but currently skiing is one of his passions. He started snowboarding when he was 12 years old but switched to skiing when he was 15 years old since all of his friends skied and so skiing was more fun. Patrick has played the guitar and piano and was part of a band in his younger years. He says that he likes all kinds of music except for heavy metal. He says that he likes pretty much all kinds of movies including horror movies, comedy movies and action movies. Everything except so-called chick flicks, he says. Last summer he took a grade 12 English course online, achieving an 88 percent average and gaining him the credit even before his grade 12 year started in September. He achieved an 82 percent average last year, an improvement from previous years. He is hoping that this improvement continues this year so that he can gain admission to college.

News - It follows the concept of the Big Brother and Big Sister programs found in society. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the peer mentor program at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. In this program, a high school student is matched with a student in grade seven or eight, with the paired students meeting once or twice a week for 20 minutes or so on school property. The peer mentor program is meant to allow students to feel that they belong by having someone with whom to talk. One of the peer mentor pairings at Sacred Heart this year is the duo of grade 12 student Ryan Laushway and grade eight student Tucker Danyluk. Ryan got involved with the peer mentor program because after being asked to consider it, he thought that it would be a good experience. In addition, he remembered when he was in grade seven and saw fellow students struggling because they had no one to look up to and be involved with them. Tucker likes the peer mentor program because he likes meeting new people and finds that he gets along well with those who are older than he is. Ryan and Tucker meet once a week for about 20 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We chat and hang out,â&#x20AC;? Ryan says about their meetings, noting that they both like iphone games. But their activities can vary from playing soccer outside in nice weather to decorating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then eating â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Christmas cookies. There is a variety as there is no set activity that they have to do or not do in the program. Tucker says that being in the peer mentor program with Ryan helps him with his communication skills as he finds Ryan easy to talk to. Ryan, for his part, is happy to see Tucker improving his communication skills through their interaction. Both Ryan and Tucker highly recommend students
becoming involved in the peer mentor program. Indeed, Tucker hopes to be a high school mentor like Ryan when he is in grade 11. Ryan is graduating from Sacred Heart this year and is planning to attend Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University in Lennoxville, Quebec for a business program. He has an ulterior motive for attending Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s besides its good business program. He likes to snowboard and that area is a good place for such a sport. Tucker admits that he does not particularly like snow sports. He has tried skiing and also used to play hockey at one time. Out of the snow he plays softball. A grade seven or eight student gets a peer mentor by requesting one through a guidance counsellor or teacher. Alternatively, a teacher, parent or school administrator may ask that a student be assigned a peer mentor. A high school student becomes a peer mentor by being recommended to the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s peer mentor coordinator or by applying to become a peer mentor provided he or she has two teacher references and succeeds in a suitability interview. Training and orientation is provided by the Student Services department at the school.

Lifestyle.
After 10 years working in Kanata as a fitness trainer, former Canadian Olympic bobsledder, John Sokolowski, recognized that too many of his clients werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 SFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey to health. It also gives members a chance to receive helpful nutrition tips and advice, and reinforces SFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tenet of providing help when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x153;quick-fixâ&#x20AC;? diet or regimen. To provide even more to their members, SFL also offers stress management as a part of their counseling. Under Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Simply for Life Kanataâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. 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

Two weeks ago, this column focused on 2013 and now I’d like to take a few moments and look ahead to what we can expect in 2014. Much focus will be on how the western development lands, in Richmond, proceed with one of the developers already having appealed their application to the Ontario Municipal Board. The City, of course, rejected the application upon the appeal being filed. As this moves forward, I will be sure to provide as many updates as possible to keep everyone in Richmond and the surrounding area informed. The Ottawa on the Move program returns for its final year of infrastructure renewal. Residents can expect to see the resurfacing of Mansfield Road, between Conley Road and Munster Road. Resurfacing will also take place on First Line Road, Church Street, Rideau Valley Drive South, Walgreen Road, Willowlea Road and Westbrook Road. The latter three roads listed make up the Reed industrial park off of Carp Road, north of Rothbourne Road. There will also be some intersections improvements at Moodie Drive and Fallowfield Road as well as installation of roundabouts at Flewellyn Road & Eagleson Road and Fernbank Road & Shea Road.
SUBMITTED
From a city-wide perspective, 2014 will see the reopening of the stadium at Lansdowne Park, to be known as TD Place. This will mark the return of CFL to Ottawa for the 2014 season and also announce the arrival of professional soccer to Ottawa in the form of a North American Soccer League franchise, the Ottawa Fury. Also, barring any further delays (unfortunately, I have to say that), the Strandherd/Armstrong Bridge will open this year as well.

When a new exhibition is being hung, such as happened last Saturday morning, a dozen or so artists are on hand, helping to hang the artwork. A couple of ladders are used to be able to reach the higher rail from which picture supports are hung. But there is a collaborative process used to determine what painting or piece of art goes where and at what height the piece will hang. The art is just not hung any which way but is done under the guidance of the eyes of these artists.

Report recommends demolition of building John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The future of Stittsville’s historic Bradley’s General Store landmark looks bleak. This is in light of a report going forward to the city’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee this week recommending that the fire-damaged structure be allowed to be demolished. This recommendation about the building, which was designated as a heritage structure for its architectural and historic value in 1986, arises as a result of a building assessment done following the Monday, September 9th fire. This building assessment report JOHN CURRY/METROLAND suggests two options with regard to Firefighters adjust a ladder at the rear of the historic Bradley’s General Store building on Stittsville Main the future of the building, namely an Street in Stittsville on Monday, Sept. 9 as they battle the blaze that broke out in the roof area of the landmark extensive restoration of the building brick building.

historical and cultural value aside, it is our opinion that the renovation and restoration of the remaining building structure is not the most economical solution and would require a significant investment of time and financial resources to complete,” writes Randy Scott and Andrew Ross, authors of the report done by Concentric Associates International Incorporated. The report points out that restoring the building so that it is compliant with current building code requirements would necessitate a substantial upgrading and repair of the masonry assemblies and structural support members within the basement and ground floor levels as well as modernization of the building’s electrical, mechanical and heating systems. The reports notes that demolition of the building would be the most economical option since the improvements required to restore and renovate the building would be significant. The recommendation to allow demolition of the building as the most economical option does not sit well with Goulbourn Township Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell as evidenced by her comments provided in the covering report going before the city’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee. “Although the firm has indicated that a great deal of restoration work would be necessary to make this building viable again, its cultural and historic significance to the community does not seem to be assigned any value at all,” read her comments in the report. “To say that restoring the building is not the most economical solution is of course obvious; but no historical restorations are ever the most economical solutions. The question is rather, is the building worth restoring? Does it have enough cultural and historic significance to the community to spend the money to restore it?” Ms. Bottriell does acknowledge that the situation for restoration is problematic if the owner does not wish to restore it. She suggests that if the building is demolished, some stipulations should be put in place that will ensure that any replacement building will have some historic character in keeping with the buildings around it. She also suggests that an historic plaque detailing the history of the building should be part of any re-development of the site. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, in his comments outlined in the report, suggests that an historical record be developed of the building before it is demolished, including vital facts about the building and its special and unique features, with the record being deposited with the Goulbourn Museum. He also supports a plaque on the site when it is re-developed if the building is demolished. Heritage Ottawa has suggested to the city that any replacement structure on the site should be compatible with other older structures on Stittsville Main Street. See REPORT, page 23

Report on fire-damaged Ninth annual Trivia Night coming up Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store Special to the News
Continued from page 22
The fire damaged the interior wood stud wall framing within the exterior walls. Restoration of the building would require the re-construction of this interior wall framing, followed by the demolition and re-construction of the exterior masonry walls. This demolition and re-construction of the exterior masonry wall is required to allow the masonry veneer wall to be secured to the interior wood study wall framing. It is estimated that 35 percent of the ground floor walls, 50 percent of the second floor walls and all of the gable ends of the building would need to have the wall framing replaced and the masonry walls rebuilt. The fire also destroyed the vast majority of the existing roof system and structure for the building. Complete replacement of the roof assembly including the wood framing, sheathing, soffits and fascia would be necessary in any restoration. If the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Built Heritage SubCommittee agrees to recommend approval of demolition of the building, the recommendation would go to city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planning committee. If approval is given there, then the recommendation would go to the full city council for a final decision. Demolition might not happen right away, although an application to demolish the building already has been submitted to the city by the owner of the building. Any redevelopment of the site once demolition has taken place might not happen right away but could take a number of years, depending on the actions of the owners. This building at 1518 Stittsville Main Street is one of Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oldest and certainly one of its most historic landmarks, having been built about 1875 as a hotel to serve the railway which had just come through the village in 1870. Indeed, the building stands adjacent to the old railway line which is now the Trans Canada Trail. In 1919, the building became the home for Fred Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general store as he relocated from premises just a little farther north along Stittsville Main Street. It would remain the
home for Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store until 1961 when then-owner Bill Bradley opened a new IGA grocery store farther south on Stittsville Main Street, opposite the current Stittsville Post Office. Over the years since the building ceased to house Bradleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store, it has been a fabric shop, a woodworking business, a tea room, a taxidermy studio, and a restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; initially Louisiannieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and later the NOLA New Orleans Eatery which closed earlier this year. Plans were in the works for the building to become home for a restaurant/pub with renovation work already underway. The building farther back on this property where the Skoff family has lived since 1972 once housed a farm equipment dealership and was also the first home of The Stittsville News when it was operated by Howard and Lloyd Maguire.
News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a trivia night but certainly not a trivial night. Indeed, it is an entertaining and fun evening that also raises funds for Rotary Club projects both locally and internationally. Yes, it is a significant night. And you can be part of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ninth annual Rotary Trivia Night easily. Tables for eight are going for only $200 in total. So why not get together a team of neighbours or coworkers or friends, give yourselves a crazy team name and take part in this evening that will see ten rounds of trivia questions. It makes for a lot of fun and a great way to break up the winter blues. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all happening on Friday, Feb. 21 at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, hosted by
the Rotary Club of Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stittsville. Again this year Stittsville Sobeys has come on board as the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major sponsor. Thanks to this sponsorship as well as the support of numerous other local businesses and individuals, there will be a plethora of round, door and major prizes given away during the evening.

Fitness Depot: Dedicated to Your Fitness and Health by Brian Turner
As the old year ends and the new approaches, more than a few of us will take a look in the mirror and decide it’s time to shape up. Maybe we’ll join a gym, but many of us will look to purchase home exercise equipment as a more convenient, comfortable, and private alternative to fitness club membership. But where to turn? Which elliptical, treadmill, rower, or exercise bike to buy? It’s easy to get lost in the myriad of websites, media ads, and avalanches of flyers overflowing our mailboxes. It’s also very easy to choose the wrong piece of equipment, that no matter how often you use it or how well designed it is, won’t deliver the results you’re looking for. And of course there’s the risk of injury because you didn’t get the appropriate advice you needed before purchasing a piece of fitness equipment that your body or physical condition isn’t suited for. Fitness Depot has been providing solutions to all these problems and concerns for over 20 years in Ottawa and their long list of satisfied and physically fit clients provide strong testament to their customer-centered way of doing business. First, all of the associates you’ll meet at either Fitness Depot location (499 Industrial Ave in the east or 255 Kanata Ave in the west) are experts on the products and accessories they offer. They have been specifically trained by North America’s major fitness equipment manufacturers and receive continual education and updates on new designs and features. They are all full-time employees and were chosen because of their commitment to physical fitness and excellent customer service. Second, if you want to try any of Fitness Depot’s equipment or products before you buy, it’s as easy as riding a bike because they’re all set up in their comfortable and roomy facilities for demo purposes. There’s no guessing from looking at a picture on the box or at some video as to whether or not you’re choosing the right product. Fitness Depot’s staff also take the time to ask the right questions to make sure that what you buy is right for you and other members of your family who might use it, and for your home. There’s no use getting the perfect home gym system if it won’t fit in your family or exercise room. In fact in most cases the associate you first meet will be the one to guide you through choosing and purchasing the right equipment and accessories to accompanying the delivery truck to your home to ensure a done-right-the-first-time set-up and to make sure you’re completely comfortable with all the features and operations.
And since they’re a depot, they carry everything they offer in stock and can arrange most installations on a same-day basis. Why wait days or weeks when you want to start your new life now? Some us of will enter Fitness Depot for the first time after being gym or club members and will be pleasantly surprised to find the same reputable major brands that our fitness club uses. Fitness Depot’s equipment suppliers are very carefully chosen and only ship to specialty retailers. You don’t have to be a fitness veteran to recognize names like LifeFitness, Precor, or Octane just to name a few. And commercial gyms and clubs also purchase their equipment from Fitness Depot. So the same expert associates that local gyms rely on, are there to serve you as well. And they’re happy to handle special orders for those rare occasions when someone is looking for a hard to find item that isn’t normally stocked. More than a few of us have experienced (or know someone who has) the difficulty that can arise when a fitness machine requires service or repair. With purchases from some retailers, the only choice is to package it up and send it back. But Fitness Depot runs a complete service centre in Ottawa that’s as close as your computer mouse. And since they offer their own in-house extended service plans, affordable peace of mind comes along with professional technicians. Whether it’s a simple adjustment or minor repair, or part replacement, it’s all part of Fitness Depot’s A to Z white-glove customer service. For Ottawa’s truly largest selection of fitness equipment and gear at the guaranteed lowest prices, with service that’s as fit as a fiddle, there really is only one choice with two great locations: Fitness Depot. East end manager Paul Riley and west end’s Kevin DeForge and their very physical teams are on site and on track Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, on Saturdays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Sundays from noon to 5:00 pm. You can reach them by phone at 613-247-8888 (East) or 613-591-8988 (West). Their website at www.fitnessdepotottawa.com has full details and specs on everything they sell. Good quality home fitness equipment means a long term relationship that brings much more value than flashy offers on unknown brands. With Fitness Depot, nothing’s holding you back from a fit future.
Fitness Depot is proud to be the Official Fitness Equipment Supplier for the Ottawa Senators™

Blizzard of winter scenes in new art exhibition John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) members Patrick Mason, left, on the ladder, and Patrick Bourke, right, adjust a painting as they help set up the new “Nature’s Silent Slumber” exhibition at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Saturday. The new exhibition will run through to Friday, March 7.
News - It’s winter outside and so why not winter inside too! And so the walls of the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the lobby area at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville are now featuring a blizzard of winter scenes in the new exhibition called “Nature’s Silent Slumber” that was unveiled last Saturday and will run through to Friday, March 7. And even if some of the artwork on display does not have a winter theme, much of it still has a nature theme. For instance, even Joe Aragona’s photograph called “Buried” featuring bush overgrowing an abandoned old car has nature’s hand evident in it – namely that luxuriant bush that is swallowing up that manmade vehicle. But of particular notice in this new exhibition is the artwork that not only features nature but features nature in wintertime. And there are many pieces that do this. “Winter in Gatineau Park,” an oil by Trudy Daley, features a snow-covered scene with trees and a wooden rail fence running across its foreground. You may not know this exact spot but every Canadian has experienced a scene like this at some time. Josef Pittner’s photograph of a snow-drenched grove of trees is another example of this iconic Canadian winter scenery. Patrick Mason’s oil “Winter Morning,” while abstract in some respects, is still definite enough to identify a snow covered tree in the foreground and more trees in the background, all with a blue/red sky overhead. And still with trees and snow, Louise Barker’s “Day’s End” features evergreens with
snow covered branches in a snowy landscape. Or there is also Josie Braden’s watercolour “Birches” showing several “white as snow” birch trees in a setting of snow, both on the ground and even in the surrounding air. The tips of trees are just barely evident in Vera Van Baaren’s acrylic rendering called “Snow Everywhere.” It is a double paneled work, like looking out of a double window, showing mounds of snow backed by treetops with a blue sky with white whispers of cloud overhead. The chill of winter can be found in J.B. (Bruce) Malmberg’s photograph “Ice Bridge” showing a bridge covered in snow crossing an icy watercourse, with the watercourse bending into the foreground of the photo. Snow covered trees in the background add to the wintry context of the photo. Another aspect of winter can be found in John Edkins’ photo which bears the same name as the exhibition in total, namely “Nature’s Silent Slumber.” The photo is filled with the trunks of trees, all standing in snow with their shadows stretching out across this very snow. And what is winter without romance and Alain Bernard has captured this in his oil painting “Soiree au Canal” which shows a pair of skaters embracing on the Rideau Canal skateway at night, with the Chateau Laurier in the background. Aw, yes, a romantic skate on the Canal – winter can be beautiful! Two pieces in the exhibition depict nature in winter. Beverly Lafortune’s photograph called “Snow Landing” shows a large bird (an owl, we would guess from its eyes but it could be a hawk), wings extended, coming in for a landing, all portrayed against a white, imageless background.

More than 5,000 votes were cast before the voting, which began at midnight on Monday, Jan. 6, was even three days old shows that there may be a record set this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total number of votes was 18,000 and that was a record.,â&#x20AC;? said Rosemary Leu, executive director of the West Ottawa Board of Trade (formerly the Kanata Chamber of Commerce) which organizes the annual competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have 5,000 votes in not even three days is incredible,â&#x20AC;? she added. In keeping with its name, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice,â&#x20AC;? this online voting will determine the winners in the various categories
in the competition except for the Citizen of the Year category which is done by a selection committee from nominations received. Everyone who wishes to participate in the voting has one vote in each category. This is determined by one vote per category per email address and per name.

A record total of 209 businesses and organizations across Kanata, West Carleton and Goulbourn are nominated in 23 different categories, most divided geographically for Kanata, West Carleton and Goulbourn. Some categories apply to the whole area. Online voting at the Kanata Chamber of Commerce or West Ottawa Board of Trade website will continue until Monday, Feb. 3.

Harper Government delivers jobs for local youth Ottawa, ONâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Employers can now apply for Canada Summer Jobs 2014 funding, which will create thousands of job opportunities for students across the country. Canada Summer Jobs helps students gain the skills and work experience they need to be successful now and in the future, while earning money for the upcoming school year. Since 2007, the program has helped over 260 000 students. Canada Summer Jobs 2014 is expected to create approximately 35 000 jobs, while helping employers address skills shortages. Last year, nearly 100 student jobs were created in Nepean-Carleton thanks to the Canada Summer Jobs initiative. One great example of how organizations have beneďŹ tted from the Canada Summer Jobs funding is the Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill in Manotick. The Mill has made great use of the program for seven consecutive years now. Hiring local students allows for the Mill to employ students that are familiar with the historic landmark and improve the visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unique experience. Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mill has been able to successfully attract local students through the Canada Summer Jobs funding, giving this non-proďŹ t organization the opportunity to help its community and local economy grow. Funding will be available to not-for-proďŹ t organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses. Young people aged 15 to 30, who are full-time students and intend to return to school in the fall, can qualify for these job opportunities. With over 1 million net new jobs since the end of the global recession - the best growth record among all G-7 countries -and overall tax burden at its lowest level in nearly 50 years, our Government continues to make the economy its number one priority.

By investing in youth, our Government is helping contribute to Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic growth and long-term prosperity. This is why we encourage employers to apply for funding and create jobs that will not only beneďŹ t students but communities and local economies as well. The employer application period for Canada Summer Jobs has changed. Applications are now available at servicecanada.gc.ca/csj and must be submitted by January 31, 2014. These new timelines mean successful employers will be notiďŹ ed sooner and have more time to recruit students. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton

Raising funds for Roger’s House John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Just like at the bar on the TV sitcom “Cheers,” it’s a party where “everyone knows your name.” Popular. It’s attended by a gaggle of Ottawa Senators, both players and this time even coach Paul MacLean. Awesome. And it raises thousands for Roger’s House, a “home away from home” on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario for children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Priceless. It’s the annual pre-Christmas fundraising gathering at Napoli’s Café in Stittsville, only open to the restaurant’s most regular customers. This year’s event, held just before Christmas in December, saw 127 people attend, almost all returnees from the year before. It’s that much fun that people want to keep coming back – and they do! And because everyone there is a restaurant regular, they virtually all know each other. This means that the event is more like a house party than a restaurant event. People feel at home and comfortable, says Bassel Khalil of Napoli’s. “Everyone knows
everyone,” he says, explaining that the opening cocktail hour stretches to about two hours because everyone just wants to mingle and chat with each other. The fact that five Ottawa Senators spend this time sitting at the bar, openly available to one and all, just adds to its appeal. On hand at the event were five players – Erik Condra, Zack Smith, Craig Anderson, Chris Neil and Kyle Turris. And, in fact, they were even joined by their coach Paul MacLean. Also at the gathering was the Ottawa Senators president Cyril Leeder. So there was lots of Sens atmosphere in the restaurant, not surprising since Roger’s House was the receiving charity and the Sens Chris Neil is its honourary head. New at the event this year was a performance by Ottawa stand-up comedian Mike McDonald, an avid Sens fan himself. He is also a kidney transplant recipient. Having a live comedy performance was “something a little different,” Bassel admits, noting that in previous years there was using a disc jockey playing music instead. This led to the seven course dinner that featured manicotti pasta, salad, tenderloin and dessert. Delicious to say the least!
It then got down to the fundraising portion of the evening. Both MC Ken Evraire and Bassel himself, standing and even dancing on the railing in the dining area, presided over a live auction that saw items go anywhere from $1,000 to a high of $7,500. These items included a sports weekend for four in Detroit including attendance at a Red Wings NHL game and a Detroit Lions NFL game, golfing with the Ottawa Senators, and a “For the Boys” package including a beer fridge, golfing and car detailing. The event also featured a fundraising raffle, with the prizes including a Chris Neil package that included a signed jersey, a $1,500 credit towards granite counter tops from Urban Era Stone and a wine basket. When it was all said and done, proceeds from the evening including the auction, raffle and other revenue amounted to nearly $34,000. This brings the six year total raised by Napoli’s Café through these pre-Christmas gatherings to about $175,000. And as everyone was leaving, they received a gift filled with goodies.
Napoli’s Café would like to thank the following for their support of this annual event: Chris and Caitlin Neil, honourary chairs of Roger’s House; Paul and Sharon MacLean; Erik and Ryan Condra; Kyle Turris and Julie Fuller; Craig and Nichole Anderson; Zack Smith; Senators Sports and Entertainment; Ottawa Senators Foundation; Jim Orban; Ken Evraire; Mark Seabrook of the Canadian Golf & Country Club; John Stanton of Myers Motors (Kanata); Geoff Ross of Molsons Canada; Mike Swartzack of Sports Experts; Robert Doherty of Charton Hobbs Wine; Mike Bergeron of EPoke, Kristy Greig of Mark Anthony Brand; Beorge Coyle of Coyle Publishing; Gail and Elaine of Heart2Heart; Tricia Brydges of Scotiabank (Stittsville); The SPA Ottawa; Ryan Hicks of Urban Era Stone; InsideOut Studio Barre; Nomadic Athletic Training; Herbal Magic; Motion Works Physiotherapy; Yogatown; Ital Foods; Tannis; Kauffman Foods; Cisco Foods; Canadian Linen; Premier Beer; Creemore Springs; Orleans Fresh Fruit; and Bagel Bagel.

Art exhibition at owaa gallery Continued from page 25
In much the same spirit is Salena Richardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pencil drawing entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peek A Booâ&#x20AC;? showing a small animal (a squirrel or chipmunk, perhaps) peeking its head out of a snowy den, with white all around. Roseanne Fracchinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Algonquin Spiresâ&#x20AC;? shows some leafless (dead?) treetops set against the sky. With no ground showing, there is no way to know what season is happening but it could be winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or not! What is definitely a winter scene since there is snow along the rocky sea shore is Gerald Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil on panel called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Cold Atlantic.â&#x20AC;? A sea of waves is coldly pounding this sea shore which has a giant rock at centre stage. It all gives an impression that lives up to the paintingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cold.
Showing the beauty and power of nature although not in winter with their exhibits in this art show are artist Kathy McClure and photographer Stephen Harrison. Kathy McClureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mixed media work â&#x20AC;&#x153;Storm on the Horizonâ&#x20AC;? is largely sky, with a strip of terra firma at its base. It could be a wheat field on the prairies topped with that areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s renowned high sky. But whatever the viewer sees, nature is part of it. And nature is likewise found in Stephen Harrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph done on his identifying dye-infused aluminum process that he has called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chutes Falls at Night,â&#x20AC;? a photograph which gives you the feeling that you are standing right in the rapid flowing river. Sheila Turner-Whalenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acrylic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shade of Greenâ&#x20AC;? features an eye catching floral image, with red, white
and green colours predominating. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nature at its most beautiful, namely in a floral context. Gordon Chapmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Potts Finds Satoriâ&#x20AC;? has the most intriguing title in the exhibition and his photograph does have a touch of nature with its foreground floral which is being heavily watched by a face with a most bewitching eye. Patrick Bourkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burren Skyâ&#x20AC;? showing a stone roadway going up an incline that features grassy yet stoney landscapes on either side shows another aspect of nature, albeit not in winter. Also part of this exhibition are works like Soraya (Zizi) Silvestriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dreams,â&#x20AC;? an acrylic abstract that features blue and red-tinted orange. The imagination can run wild with this artwork â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dream it to be what you want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interlaced,â&#x20AC;? an acrylic by Sonia Tavares, is similarly a treat for the imagination. It is more definite in
composition, featuring various geometric shapes and forms which are interwoven, with purple and green as the predominant but not only colours. Another piece of art that is a viewerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delight. And what could be sunsets can be found in two pieces in this exhibition. Anda Cosmaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Symphony in Red,â&#x20AC;? another double paneled work, is an oil painting that features flaming red, like a sailorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s delight red sky in the evening that presages dry weather the next day. And Sylvie Sabourinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photograph â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vers dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;autres horizonâ&#x20AC;? has sunsetlike streaks in an otherwise darkened background. It could be a sunset in winter or at any time of the year. This latest exhibition at the owaa gallery also includes yet another work from the fertile and imaginative mind and brush of Mike Goguen whose oil on canvas entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Space Stationâ&#x20AC;? continues his tradition of a
myriad of unique images populating his paintings. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;Space Stationâ&#x20AC;? painting includes a 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red Chevrolet driving in space, with space also featuring a gas bar, a burger joint and a futuristic city of domes, along with a view of earth from space and the presence of the planet Saturn with one of its rings. You really have to see this painting to enjoy its many imaginative features. This latest exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Silent Slumberâ&#x20AC;? at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville will run through to Friday, March 7. Those who do view the exhibition are urged to fill out a ballot in the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Choice voting which takes place for every exhibition at the owaa gallery. Just fill out a ballot indicating which piece of art is your favourite in the exhibition and drop the ballot into the ballot box on the display case at the gallery. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy and the artists really enjoy learning the results after each exhibition.

News - The Richmond Agricultural Society, which was founded in 1841 as the Carleton County Agricultural Society, has its annual meeting coming up. This annual meeting will be held this coming Tuesday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m. in the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road in Richmond. The annual meeting includes the election of directors as well as the receipt of reports pertaining to the activities of the Society’s various committees in 2013. Gerd Lohmann was president of the Richmond Agricultural Society in 2013, serving his first year in the position and succeeding Larry Monuk. A president of the Society usually serves more than one year as president. Other officers of the Richmond Agricultural Society in 2013 were Bill Reid, first vice-president; Ian Stackhouse, second vice-president; Vivien Daly, treasurer; Denise Crawford, Homecraft president; and Dale Greene, general manager. Directors of the Richmond Agricultural Society for 2013 were Bruce Bain, Robert Bell, David Bobier, David Brown, Bruce Button, Wayne Byrne, Denise Crawford, Vivien Daly, Cindy Dawson, Carol Demjan, Mary Lou Farrell, Wendy Ferguson, John Gil, Marlene Greene, Gavin Grusnick, Susan Hughes, Chris Lawton, Anne Lindsay, Gerd Lohmann, Larry Monuk, Robert Parks, David Rea, Bill Reid, Laura Robertson, Kyle Seguin, Ian Stackhouse, Kenny Stuyt, Marg Todd and Ken Vaughn. Junior directors of the Society in 2013 included Dwight Brown, Scott Dawson, Chelsey
A World of
Foster, Matthew Noxon, Allison Todd, Braden Stuyt, Curtis Stuyt, Craig Wytenburg and James Wytenburg. The main undertaking of the Richmond Agricultural Society is the organizing and hosting of the annual Richmond Fair which marked its 169th edition in 2013. However, the Agricultural Society is also active throughout the year, caring for and renting out the Richmond fairgrounds for assorted events. It was in 1895 that the forerunner of the Richmond Agricultural Society, namely the Carleton County Agricultural Society, relocated its annual fair, started in 1844, from Bells Corners to Richmond. The fair was staged at “Goodwood Park,” the site of the current fairgrounds, which featured a horse racing track. The Society leased the park for the duration of the annual fair. In 1927, the Agricultural Society purchased the 17.4 acre property for $2,500, making it the permanent site of the annual fair. In 1962, the Agricultural Society purchased more property, namely 2.4 acres, from Harold Brown for $2,000. In 1950, the village’s town hall was purchased and relocated to the fairgrounds to become the Dining Hall. It was located adjacent to the newly opened Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena, the predecessor of today’s arena which was opened in 1974. In 1960, the Richmond Curling Club got started, using the fair’s livestock building. Structural concerns regarding the building brought about the construction of a new four-sheet curling club building in 1979, built on the site of the fair’s historic agricultural hall display building which was torn down. This new Curling Club building is now used for homecraft and commercial displays during the annual fair.

MARY COOK Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories Lifestyle - The corn popper hung on a nail behind the Findlay Oval, a big wire basket affair, blackened from use with a long steel handle. Father said his grandfather made it, but Mother was reasonably sure she saw one just like in Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hardware. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter to us how it got to the farm in Northcote, it only mattered that we had it. Nothing pleased me more on a cold winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s night, always a Saturday, when Mother would tell Audrey to take down the popper and make up a batch of popcorn. Of course, that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen if it conďŹ&#x201A;icted with the same night as the Saturday night house party. Although we grew corn, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t from our crop that we got the kernels. At Briscoeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Store, there was a big bag, back near the barrel of molasses and the coal-oil, which held bulk corn you could purchase by the pound. A tin scoop sat on top of the kernels with paper bags piled on the counter, and for 10 cents you

My brother Emersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of patience ends up spoiling the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popcorn
got enough corn to last half the winter. My sister Audrey was the one to pop the corn. That is until the night my brother Emerson said he thought it was high time he was allowed to do the job. Audrey didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind giving it up, but I had serious doubts Emerson, who said he knew a faster way to pop the corn, was up to the job. It had been a long day, and Mother was in no mood to argue, so she told Emerson to get down the wire basket and take the bag of corn out of the cupboard. He dumped the amount needed into the wire basket, hooked it closed and moved over to the Findlay Oval. You had to have a strong arm to not only shake the basket continually over the hot stove lid, but to endure long minutes before the corn started to pop. Emerson seemed to think the faster you scraped the basket over the lid, the sooner the corn would start to pop. Audrey had already put a soup bowl of butter on the back of the stove to melt. Popcorn was
not good without a big splash of melted butter. Well, we could see Emerson was getting impatient. Audrey told him shaking the basket faster had nothing to do with getting the kernels to pop, it had everything to do with the heat of the stove. That gave Emerson an idea. If the lid wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hot enough, then surely putting the basket right over the hot coals would do the trick. He slid the lid off, and put the basket directly in the hole it left, a nearly right on top of the burning wood. Soon the corn was popping at a great rate, and Emerson was shaking the basket like his life depended on it. Mother was watching from the end of the kitchen table, shaking her head. She was a ďŹ rm believer in letting us learn from our mistakes, and there was no doubt in her mind Emerson was in for a great lesson. The popper was full to bursting, and Emerson raced over to the table to dump it into the big baking bowl. It was soon obvious that the
only popcorn we could eat was sitting in the bottom of the bowl, because the bottom half of the basket was burnt to a crisp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like popcorn anyway,â&#x20AC;? he said, surveying the blackened kernels staring him in the face. Father had wakened from the smell of the burning corn, shook his head, and promptly fell back to sleep. Mother told Emerson to scoop off the burnt kernels and take them out to the chicken coop. Nothing was wasted back in the 1930s, even burned popcorn. We divided what was edible, which wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much. The next morning when I went out to gather eggs in the hen house, the burnt kernels were just where Emerson had ďŹ&#x201A;ung them. Even the hens couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat them.

Sound Connection holding prospective members’ nights Special to the News
News - The Chapman Mills Sound Connection women’s barbershop chorus is look for more members. Women who love to sing and would like to try the barbershop style of music are invited to attend one of two prospective members’ nights that are coming up. At these sessions, those interested in possibly joining the Chapman Mills Sound Connection will be able to learn about the barbershop style and discover the fun and friendship that arises from singing together with other women who also love to sing. These prospective members’ nights are being held on Tuesday, Jan. 21 and again on Tuesday, Jan.
28, both starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Jockvale Heritage School at 3131 Jockvale Road in Barrhaven. There are singers from Stittsville as well as Barrhaven who currently are members of the Chapman Mills Sound Connection women’s barbershop chorus. The Chapman Mills Sound Connection frequently peforms throughout the wider community in venues such as retirement homes. Last December, the Chapman Mills Sound Connection presented a concert of both seasonal and other music at the Stittsville United Church in Stittsville, with about 200 in attendance. The Chapman Mills Sound Connection, a women’s a cappella bar-
bershop chorus under the direction of Karen Taylor, is a member of Harmony Inc., an international women’s barbershop singing organization which hosts regional competitions each spring. Choruses that qualify at these regional competitions get an opportunity to participate in international competitions each fall. Last year the Chapman Mills Sound Connection 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
tion whether you are an experienced singer or a novice. There is minimal cost attached to belonging to the Chapman Mills Sound Connection other than a membership fee and incidentals such as costuming. On average, the chorus meets three hours per week on Tuesdays for practice. There is also some practice involved for individual singing parts. Upon joining, a new member will be assigned to one of the four barbershop sections within the chorus. For more information about the Chapman Mills Sound Connection, check out the website http://soundconnection.yolasite.com/ or contact Maxine Mercer at 613-435-7441 or via email at maxinemercer@ nl.rogers.com .
the Area Competition of Harmony Inc. which is being held in Portland, Maine. The barbershop style consists of singing four-part harmony in a cappella style to a variety of songs ranging from golden oldies through to well-known standards and from gospel to rock ‘n roll. Choroegraphy is sometimes added to the more upbeat numbers. The Chapman Mills Sound Connection offers a learning program in vocal production and visual performance. No previous music experience is necessary to join the chorus. Practices are design to help improve singing skills. It’s fun singing with the Chapman Mills Sound Connec-
