group is urged to attend this session which will also include a potluck luncheon. However, the final day to sign up for the trip is Monday, Feb. 1. This year’s trip to Nicaragua promises to be a little different from previous trips to Nicaragua involving the Stittsville United Church. Previous trips have been arranged through Companeros Inc., which since 2001 has been coordinated and organizing such trips for participants to engage in community development projects in Nicaragua. However, this year Companeros Inc. is re-organizing and so is not John Curry/Metroland arranging trips. At the launch of fundraising last Sunday for a trip to help build a school in Nicaragua this August are five See FUNDRAISING, page 7

Stittsville’s Ben Durocher featured in Broadway.com video John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

“If I can make it there/I’m gonna make it anywhere/It’s up to you, New York, New York.” These are the concluding lyrics to one of Frank Sinatra’s signature songs “New York, New York” and Ben Durocher who grew up in Stittsville is on his way to proving them true as he is now starting to make a name for himself in the New York theatrical community, albeit as an up and coming fresh face. Broadway.com recently produce a two minute and 56 second video featuring Ben, referring to him as an “Avenue Q” star. “Avenue Q” is the long running Broadway musical that is now playing at an off-Broadway venue. In the video on Broadway.com, Ben is seen wearing a rain poncho over his “I Love NY”

shirt and is even seen dancing in the rain on a sidewalk a la Gene Kelly and his famous dance sequence in the 1952 musical comedy film “Singin’ in the Rain.” The video interview with Ben is entitled “Avenue Q Star Ben Durocher Reveals His Netflix Obsessions and What Makes Him Geek Out.” In the video, Ben responds to a number of questions. He describes himself as having been a shy youngster who people really only noticed when he was on stage. Indeed, he says that he became known as the “theatrical kid.” He tells how when he saw “Avenue Q” with its original cast when he was 14 years old, he thought at the time that the actors had the best jobs in the world and he wanted to do what they were doing. When asked what he considered the best way to enjoy raining afternoons such as was being experienced for the video, he stayed

true to his theatrical roots, saying that there is something special about seeing a play as it allows a person to escape to another world from the harsh weather outside. Ben also admitted in the interview to binge watching of television at times, saying he loves to watch a good documentary series. He lastly admitted to being “a huge Broadway nerd,” loving to see shows and to listen to cast albums. And, most of all, he feels that performing in “Avenue Q” is just the greatest thing to happen to his career. Ben, who is 26 years old, is the son of Cindy Beauchamp and Sandy Durocher of Stittsville. His parents visited him in New York City over part of the recent Christmas holidays. Ben attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School and then Sacred Heart High School where he had a leading role in the school’s production of “Anne of Green Gables” before he went on to attend Canterbury High School from which he graduated. He then attended the University of Cincinnati where he performed in a number of productions. Since graduating from university in 2011, he has done theatrical work including performing on a Disney cruise ship. Ben has always had an interest in puppets, performing at the “Puppets Up! Festival” in Almonte in its early years. He recently has worked as a puppet fabricator at “The Puppet Kitchen” in New York City, at the Jim Henson Company and at the National Puppetry Conference of the Eugene O’Neill Theatre Centre which is based in Connecticut. Last year he got the dual role of Princeton and Rod in the musical “Avenue Q” playing off Broadway at

the New World Stages theatre. “Avenue Q” is a musical that tells the hilarious story of a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City with big dreams but little money, only being able to afford to live on Avenue Q where his neighbours turn out to be a remarkably funny bunch of characters. “Avenue Q” opened on Broadway in July 2003 where it won three Tony Awards including Best Musical. With 2,534 performances on Broadway, “Avenue Q” ranks 23rd on the list of longest running shows in Broadway history. The show’s Broadway run ended in Sept. 2009, with the show then re-opening off Broadway at New World Stages in Oct. 2009 where it has been running ever since. The cast consists of three human characters and 11 puppet characters who interact as if human, Sesame Street style. The puppets are animated and voiced by puppeteers/actors who are present, unconcealed, on stage but invisible relative to the story line. The puppets and human characters completely ignore the on-stage presence of the puppeteers. The show draws considerable inspiration from Sesame Street and substantially imitates its format.

A Stittsville stone house built in 1886 is on the road to being designated as a heritage structure. At its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 14, Ottawa city council’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee recommended the building’s heritage designation to council’s planning committee. If approved by planning committee, the heritage designation would then go before the full city council for final approval. The motion approving the designation does include a condition that if the home needs a new foundation, then the building can be relocated on the site to be placed on the new foundation. The proposed future use of the building is to be as the premises for a medical therapy practice. The one and a half storey stone farm house, called the Flewellyn/Jones House by the Built Heritage Sub-Committee, is located on the north side of Fernbank Road near the intersection of Shea Road. The house is considered a good example of a late 19th century Gothic Revival farm house. Built in 1886 according to its date stone, the house features limestone construction, stone quoins, voussoirs, sills and lintels, decorative barge board trim with finials and pendants in the gable ends, intersecting steeply pitched gable roofs, segmental arched window openings with simple two over two windows, rectangular window windows with

simple two over two windows on the rear of the building, decorative chimneys and a veranda with decorative brackets. The Gothic Revival style was popular for domestic architecture in Canada in the second half of the 19th century. Plans for houses such as this were often published in house design books which were available at the time. The property features an apple orchard adjacent to Fernbank Road which was planted by the Flewellyn family in 1889. The apple orchard was initially to be included in the heritage designation but the Built Heritage Sub-Committee motion removes the apple orchard from the heritage designation. However the motion acknowledges the cultural heritage value of the apple orchard and directs city staff to work with the property owner to retain and incorporate as much of the apple orchard as possible when the site is developed. The house is considered one of the last surviving 19th century farm houses in the area and represents the agricultural roots of Goulbourn township and its settlement by Irish immigrants and their families. The house was built by the Flewellyn family which farmed the surrounding land until the late 1950’s. The Jones family has owned the house since 1962. The original owner was Richard Flewellyn who came to Canada with his wife Margaret Boyle from Ireland in 1863 with their four year old son John. Eventually they had eight other children. Of these children, Richard

left to establish his own farm in Saskatchewan while James purchased acerage nearby. The Flewellyn family was involved in community affairs. Sons James and George were school trustees and George, a lifelong farmer who died in 1945, was a reeve of Goulbourn township and warden of Carleton County. George also had a long association with the Farmers Independent Cheese Factory, serving as secretary-treasurer for many years.

Retirement residence proposed for Flea Market site John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A new retirement residence is being proposed for part of the former Stittsville Flea Market site in Stittsville. A development application has been sub-

mitted to the city of Ottawa for a five storey retirement residence, to be constructed in two phases. The first phase would feature 173 dwelling units while the second phase would have 57 units. The residence would also have 110 parking spaces on the 1.8 hectare site.

Zoning for the site is Arterial Mainstreet. The new retirement residence would be on the most eastern area of the former Flea Market site on the south side of Hazeldean Road, flanked on the north by Hazeldean Road and on the south side by Neil Avenue west of Stittsville Main Street. Part of the site was occupied by a Ministry of Transportation storage shed and associated yard from the 1950’s through the 1970’s. The Department of Highways of Ontario expropriated the land in 1948 for the shed and yard. The provincial government eventually sold the land in 1987. The central portion of the proposed site was developed with an industrial building in the early 1970’s, occupied by Instronics Ltd., an electronics manufacturer. It later became part of the Stittsville Flea Market as well as

serving as an art gallery. A residence building on the site was operated as a restaurant, including Maggie’s Restaurant, The White House Restaurant and Rocco’s Restaurant, for a time in the 1980’s and 1990’s. The property was acquired by Kavanagh Family Investments Inc. in 1984 and incorporated into the Stittsville Flea Market which operated to the immediate west of the site. In the 1990’s, the easternmost area of the site was developed with a small commercial structure which was used for residential and commercial purposes such as the sale of log buildings and golf equipment. In 2004, the Stittsville Flea Market closed and by 2009 no buildings remained on the site as the site has been vacant and unused since then.

‘Puppy pack’ at Gaia Java shop Entertainer Jared Lewis affectionately calls his audience “the puppy pack.” And so last Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville was home to a “puppy pack” as Jared was the performer for the evening. Jared Lewis, who sings, plays the guitar and also plays the harmonica, is a folk musician who hails from New Brunswick. He became a full time busker in Moncton, NB in 2011 before mov-

ing on to other performance venues including bars, book stores and houses. He sings all original songs, both singing and playing the harmonica while accompanying himself on the guitar. He is constantly writing songs and organizing new material to share with his audience. The Gaia Java coffee shop hosts as music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free although donations to help the performer or performers with expenses are always appreciated.

‘Humbug High’: A contemporary, high school version of ‘A Christmas Carol’ this younger Scrooge-like character who hates his parents and classmates with a heart that is ice-cold. But one night, he is taken on a journey by Madge the Lunch Lady, confronting the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future and a transfor-

Scrooge but a younger Scrooge, namely a 17 year old high school student, who is transformed in the play which is called “Humbug High.” This contemporary version of Charles Dickens’ classic story centres around

mation takes place, just like in the original “A Christmas Carol.” This “Humbug High” contemporary version of “A Christmas Carol” was presented by a cast of grade seven and eight students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville just before Christmas. But the planning and rehearsing for the production went on for weeks before the Dec. 16 presentation at the school. Indeed, auditions for the play were held in early October, with about 40 students trying out. Since the play involves a large cast, all of the students who au-

ditioned got a part in the play. Weekly rehearsals were held as well as numerous lunch time practise sessions, all to get ready for the Dec. 16 production which played to a full house of fellow students and parents in the school theatre. Four students who were involved with the play were Alex Templin and Caroline Devenny, both grade seven students, and Tali Stuyt and Aislynn MacLean, both grade eight students. Indeed, Alex Templin played the role of the teenaged Scrooge whom he describes as essentially a terrible person when the play starts but eventually becomes a

good person through the course of the play. Alex says that he enjoyed playing his teenage Scrooge character as he got to portray during the course of the play a span of emotions, ranging from being angry at everyone to being a happy character at the end of the play. Tali Stuyt explains that the play “Humbug High” is essentially the same story as found in “A Christmas Carol” but presented with a modern high school twist. Tali was one of four narrators in the play. She says that she liked being involved in the play, becoming friends with many of the cast members. Aislynn MacLean played the role of Madge the Lunch Lady who was more or less Scrooge’s only friend. See page 7

Fundraising for trip to Nicaragua Continued from page 1

This year’s trip is being held in conjunction with SchoolBOX, an organization whose focus in Nicaragua is building schools. So, instead of helping with community projects such as building homes as would have been the case on a Companeros arranged trip, this year those on the Stittsville United Church trip will be helping to build a school. Another difference this year is that the group will be staying in hotels while bussed to the work site every day. In a Companeros trip, participants are billeted with local families, living with them in their homes. The Stittsville United Church group is now starting to fundraise to help pay for the trip to Nicaragua and costs related to the school building project with which the group will be involved. A fundraising goal of $25,000 has been set. In addition to this fundraising, participants also contribute to their expenses for the trip. The fundraising kicked off last Sunday as the proceeds from a brunch held following the worship service at the church will be going to support the Nicaragua trip. On Monday, Feb. 8 in the evening, the group is holding a bottle drive as another fundraising initiative. This is the Monday following the Super Bowl, so it is hoped that lots of bottles will be collected. The Nicaragua group will also be holding a “Love Tea” on Monday, Feb. 22 at 7 p.m. Love-related jewellery will be sold. Other fundraising projects include the sale of Nicaraguan coffee from the No Go Coffee Co. which features eco-friendly packaging by using compostable bags. No Go Coffee Co. also transports its coffee in reusable boxes and uses an eco-conscious roaster which has extremely low emissions. All of the coffee is fair trade, organic and roasted weekly in a facility at Kemptville. Other fundraising projects will include the sale of silk scarves, selling soup in jars, the

‘Humbug High’ Continued from page 6

She was the one who warned him to change his ways. Aislynn as Madge the Lunch Lady had the most elaborate costume in the play, a “big black coat” with chains attached to it, as well as pots and pans. Most of the costumes were created from clothing brought from home. Caroline Devenny played a role in the play in which she was Scrooge’s only friend of sorts. She says that she liked the feeling of being on stage. Tali says that she would advise other students to get involved in a school play, even if drama is not what they want to do. She says that by participating in a drama production, a student gets to feel that he or she has contributed. In addition, she says that it is a fun thing to do and you get to meet new people. Aislynn echoes this sentiment, saying that even if a student is not into drama, there are smaller roles available in school productions and taking part in one gives a student the feeling of being part of something. She says that she herself loves the feeling of being on stage with people watching her,

sale of Nicaraguan fair trade pottery, paintings and crafts, the sale of mittens made from old sweaters by Bonnie Lamb and the sale of baked goods provided by Bonnie Lamb. In addition, all of the church’s Sunday brunches from now until the trip will be in support of the trip. Donations from individuals are also be accepted. Such donations are eligible for an income tax receipt from Stittsville United Church. Those going on the trip are going to be studying Spanish in the coming months. SchoolBOX was founded in 2006 by Tom Affleck. While in a tiny village in northern Nicaragua, Tom gave two young girls a notebook and a pencil. When the father noted that these small gifts would enable the girls to go to school, Tom was impacted and this led to the founding of SchoolBOX. SchoolBOX builds classrooms, provides educational supplies and provides books to schools in Nicaragua. SchoolBOX has built 71 classrooms, has reconstructed two classrooms and has built 44 washrooms for students in rural and poorer urban neighbourhoods in Nicaragua. SchoolBOX works with the Ministry of Education, municipal governments, community volunteers and other organizations in Nicaragua to make this happen. SchoolBOX also provides educational supplies, supporting over 16,000 children and teachers in 89 communities in Nicaragua. The supplies allow a student to study for a full semester. In 2012, SchoolBOX started ten mini-libraries under its new Books 4 Kids program. Since then, SchoolBOX has provided 38 libraries to partner schools around Nicaragua. Under this program, a school receives a selection of up to 300 books. In addition, teachers get training on how to organize and care for the books. adding that it is fun being involved in a play with others who love doing it as much as you do. Alex says that he has always liked performing in front of people. “It’s a lot of fun to portray some character or something,” he says about performing. Caroline says that she likes performing because everyone in the audience is listening and looking at you. She also likes how you can be a whole other person different from yourself when you are acting. Tali agrees with this, saying that acting allows a person to be someone else for a little while. All four – Alex, Tali, Aislynn and Caroline – are going to audition for the school’s spring grade seven and eight production. They say that the success of “Humbug High” has generated a lot of interest among students wanting to be involved in the spring production. “A Christmas Carol,” the famous story by Charles Dickens which was first published in 1843, is the story on which “Humbug High” is based. “A Christmas Carol” has remained popular over the years, having been adapted to various settings including film, stage and opera. “Humbug High” is simply an adaptation of the story to a contemporary high school setting.

LRT wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a free ride

ayor Jim Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dream of fasttracking a light rail transit system that includes a run to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport and an extension to Trim Road in OrlĂŠans sounds great, except for one rather large detail. Who is going to pay for it? Watson wants someone else to pay for it. Not share the cost, but pay for it outright. The mayor joined other politicians at the Via Rail station on Tremblay Road for a tour of a nearby worksite and to give an update on the progress of Confederation LRT line construction. In a media scrum afterwards, Watson laid out the rationale for fast-tracking an LRT airport spur and an extension to Trim Road. It all sounded perfectly reasonable, especially with an Airport Parkway widening project on the drawing board and how that could be impacted by an LRT run to the airport. Perfectly reasonable; until it becomes clear the city, in essence, is counting on getting a financial free ride with the federal

and provincial purses. Watson wants the $160-million light-rail extension (the most recent estimate of the cost) to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport paid for by the feds and the $155-million light-rail line to Trim Road covered by the province. Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rationale for having other levels of government pick up the entire tab for the airport and Trim Road extensions? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our philosophy is that we believe the province would be best suited to help fund the Trim Road extension, because ultimately there was a download by the previous government of the (highway) 174â&#x20AC;? and such a rail line would help alleviate congestion on the highway to Trim Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the federal government, having responsibility for airports, would be best suited to fund the airport link,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. Good luck with that. Ottawa residents shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold their breath until that happens, because it is highly doubtful the feds and Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park are willing to be Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wallet when it comes to his LRT wish list.

he only good thing about the economy being in crisis â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if in fact thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is that it stops people from writing about electoral reform. Thanks for that, economic crisis. Not that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be equally nerdish about the economy. All sorts of exotic analyses are out there as to why things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t right.

spend, more businesses make money. When more businesses make money, more businesses hire and invest and grow and pay taxes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice the way it works out. The next question is who should do the hiring. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see. Are there businesses out there that could use more employees? Well, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ask the consumer. The consumer was in a department store the other day, looking for something. Once upon a time, department stores were swarm-

ing with staffers leaping to assist you if they saw you pause for the slightest second in front of a shirt or a toaster. The other day, the consumer could pause for 10 minutes and not see anyone in sight. Having found the toaster, the consumer would then search for a place to pay for it. It was way over there, far from the toaster department, in the slipper department, a desk with one person working at it. This was not a busy time, but there were five people wanting to buy things. Two staffers could have handled that in a hurry. One staffer couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. During the wait, the consumer pondered the fact that department stores are said to be in decline. Wonder why. They could rebound. The location in shopping centres is ideal. The idea of having a variety of goods under one roof is attractive.

The good ones have quality merchandise for sale. What they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have is enough people to help you pay for it. So people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to department stores. They go to smaller stores that have staff. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it help the department store, not to mention the consumer, not to mention the economy, to hire some more folks? A consumer at the movies might make the same complaint. A modest lineup at the popcorn counter causes a 10-minute delay in getting to the movie (there to watch advertising, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another story). And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same story: six or seven cash registers but only two people manning them. Just a couple more people behind the counter would make life so much better for everyone, help the old GDP and maybe get more people out of the house and away from their big TVs.

in paying fewer people. Machines do our banking, collect our money and open the gate at the parking garage. Much energy and creativity is spent trying to figure out ways to contract, rather than expand. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what made our country great and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what sells many toasters either.

Are your financial goals within reach? At Edward Jones, we understand your needs because we meet with you face to face on a regular basis. Doing so lets us offer investment strategies tailored specifically for you. What are your concerns? Planning for a Comfortable Retirement How much you want to spend in retirement directly impacts how much you need to save today. Even if you’re unsure of how much you’ll need during retirement, we can help you find strategies to put time on your side.

Enjoying Retirement Saving for retirement is only one part of the story. The other part is how to make it last. We’ll help you develop a strategy to help counter potential inflation, stay tax smart and preserve your retirement income stream.

Paying for Education One day, they’re playing grown-up. The next day, they are grown-up. We can help you learn about options to prepare for the rising costs of education.

Preparing for the Unexpected No one can predict the future, but it’s important to prepare for unexpected events, such as losing a job; disability, nursing or assisted care; or other emergencies.

Saving Money on Taxes Tax-deferred or tax-advantaged investments may help you grow your investments faster than if you were to own only taxable investments.

This will be followed by an evening of entertainment running from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. featuring the music of Doug and Pam Champagne along with electric guitar player Marc Senecal, great for dancing.

Winners in Chili Cook-Off at Stittsville Legion Hall Special to the News

It was a chili night at the Stittsville Legion Hall last Saturday. It was not cold as in chilly but rather it was a night when decisions were made at a Chili Cook-Off about which of the entries were the best. Judges for the Chili Cook-Off were city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, CHEZ 106 personality Randall Moore and Ottawa REDBLACKS player Justin

Phillips. They were faced with the task of determining the winners from a line up of entries facing them at the Legion Hall. When it was all said and done (or tasted, that is), Monique Vail’s chili was declared the overall winner, taking home the $100 first prize. Second place overall went to Sherri Lalonde who won $50. Third place overall went to Cathy Nealon’s chili. Joan Palmer’s chili was selected as the chili with the best secret ingredient.

The honour for the spiciest chili went to the chili entered by Barb Carr while Barb Forbes was declared the winner in the category of the easiest chili ever seen. Chili is a spicy stew containing chili peppers, meat and often tomatoes and beans. Other seasonings added may include garlic, onions and cumin.

Christmas decorations galore in McPhee home John Curry

until next Christmas. The in-house decorations are stored in the basement while the outdoor, front lawn decorations are stored in the garage. The McPhees set up four, yes, that’s right, four Christmas trees in the home for the Christmas holidays. The main one is on a stand that has casters so that the tree can be decorated in a wide-open space and then rolled into position near a wall. This main tree features a unique train track which circles the tree a little more than halfway up. And there, circling the tree on the track is none other than Santa in his sleigh. Another smaller tree that sits on a table surrounded by other Christmas decorations of various sizes and shapes sits on a stand that is a McPhee family heirloom, probably from around 1930. The stand is a music box stand that actually turns the tree as it plays a tune. And speaking of music boxes, Craig and Shirley have a Christmasthemed music box featuring a number of Christmas figures including Santa who play in sequence as they produce a Christmas tune. Craig John Curry/Metroland says that he doubts that people will Craig and Shirley McPhee of Stittsville stand together in their home that has Christmas decorations virtually ever see another one like it.

the front lawn. In previous years, this has featured a Santa sleigh but the years have taken its toll on the sleigh and so this year the front yard featured a line up of colourful snowmen, with a backdrop of a giant wreath on the front of the

Even Santa Claus’ home at the North Pole could not be decorated for Christmas more than the home of Craig and Shirley McPhee in Amberwood Village in Stittsville. That’s because for the Christmas holidays, virtually every possible space in the McPhee home sports a Christmas decoration of some sort. Leading the way are nutcrackers a la the ballet “The Nutcracker” which can be found in various shapes and sizes at locations throughout the house. There’s a pair flanking a display cabinet that is right ahead of you as you enter the front door. There’s more going up the stairs. There’s more on a desktop. They’re just everywhere. Indeed, Craig, who has been collecting such Christmas nutcrackers for years, has more nutcrackers than can be displayed in the house. Some therefore stay in storage. But nutcrackers are just the tip of the iceberg as far as Christmas decorations go in the McPhee home. Even before you enter the home, you know that Craig and Shirley are fans of Christmas. That’s because there is a display set up on everywhere you look.

house. The front door is guarded by a giant snowman, a new acquisition this year. But it is only on entering the McPhee home that their overwhelming passion for Christmas

decorations becomes totally evident. It is no wonder that it takes the two of them about one and a half weeks of working full days to set up the decorations and then another similar length of time to take them down, storing them away

Love of Christmas means lots of decorations Continued from page 19

The McPhee home has a table filled with Christmas religious figures. The top of the kitchen cabinets in the McPhee home is home to a Christmas village. There’s an Advent calendar cabinet with drawers while on the upstairs landing, there is an Advent house that plays music when a door is opened. The railing of the upstairs landing features four carollers, painted by Shirley who is not only an artist but also a quilter. And in a similar vein, the railing of the home’s upstairs loft which overlooks the main floor where the main Christmas tree is features a line up of eight dwarf characters including a Santa Claus. And there’s more – like a Mr. and Mrs. Claus sleeping and moving in bed; a train setup with a village; a giant wreath which hangs at one end of the main room; a Santa figure here and there; and garland strung everywhere. And, don’t forget, more nutcrackers. Craig and Shirley both admit that they love Christmas and always have and that’s why they decorate their home so completely and so elaborately with seasonal decorations. They find the decorations not only give them a lot of fun and pleasure but anyone who visits during Christmas time also gets a lot of pleasure from the home full of decorations. Those who see the home are always anxious to come back and see it again. Craig admits that he does not buy any new

Christmas decorations now unless they are what he terms “exceptional.” But he and Shirley are always on the lookout for something new that meets this exceptional criteria. Shirley says that the decorations pretty much always go in the same place year after year. And Craig does more than just have a home filled with Christmas decorations. He also has two Santa Claus costumes and has played the Santa role over the years. But this should not be unexpected because Craig is also a Shrine clown. He has completed 5900 hours in clown costume including 350 circus performances. His goal is to achieve the 6000 hour mark as a Shrine clown. But this is not all. Given his passion for Christmas and being a 26 year Air Force veteran himself, it is not surprising that Craig is the founder and president of “Wreaths Across Canada Inc.,” an organization that provides Christmas wreaths to be laid at the grave sites of veterans at Christmas time. The first such ceremony to do this happened at Beechwood Cemetery in 2011 and it has been taking place on the first Sunday in December ever since, even expanding across Canada. Thirty three hundred balsam wreaths were placed last year, with “Wreaths Across Canada Inc.” raising about $22,000 to pay for them. Indeed, in 2014, Craig received the Distinguished Service Medallion, the highest honour available from the Canadian military, for his work with “Wreaths Across Canada Inc.”

Bradley/Craig home and barn on Hazeldean Road The former Bradley/Craig farm house and barn at 590 Hazeldean Road are currently vacant, with the red barn currently the focus of an attempt by the current owner to relocate it to Saunders Farm at Munster. Initially granted in 1824 to Joshua Bradley, an Irish immigrant, this land and subsequent farmstead had been in the Bradley family for generations until Joshua’s descendants sold it to Richcraft Homes in 2006. In 2010, the city of Ottawa designed this Bradley/Craig farm house and barn as heritage buildings. The heritage value of this Bradley/Craig farmstead arises from its identity as a pioneer farm, the historical relevance of its occupants and the physical structures themselves. The main buildings on the farmstead, which was established in the 19th century and extended into the early 21st century, included the red brick house, the massive wooden barn with its sophisticated technological innovations, a large adjacent silo and numerous outbuildings. Only the house and barn remain. The farm was established when Joshua Bradley, a native of County Wexford in Ireland, petitioned for land in Oct. 1821 following his arrival in Upper Canada. He acquired the west part of lot 29, concession 11 of Goulbourn township on Feb. 4, 1824. Subsequently, on Feb. 20, 1830, Joshua purchased additional land in the west part of lot 29, concession 12 from John Colbert Sr. The two and a half storey red brick farm house was built about 1873 by Joshua’s son. Typical of the Gothic style, the Bradley/Craig farm house has a steeply pitched gable roof with bargeboard trim in the roof, gable ends and a veranda which is supported by wood

columns. The front gable peak has a drop finial and an upper roundheaded shuttered window. Originally, shutters adorned all of the windows of the house. Complete with its original Georgian style front door, sidelights and elliptical transom of blue and purple glass, the front entrance of the house demonstrates the craftsmanship of the time. The interior of the house features high wood baseboards and a finely crafted balustrade and newel post, all original to the house. The building sits on its original stone masonry foundation. Horizontal buff brick quoining on the external corners of the walls and the buff brick string courses running horizontally around the building with voussoirs surrounding the top of two-over-two sash windows are examples of the decorative brickwork of the era. The farmstead’s L-shaped barn which later additions have rendered U-shaped has a monitor roofline similar to a Romanesque or Gothic cathedral. It has diamond shaped clerestory windows allowing light and fresh air into the barn’s interior. The barn sits on its largely original stone masonry foundation and features timber-frame mortise and tenon construction with draw bore pins, wide board sheathing and metal roofing. The barn was large enough to store hay essential for a dairy operation and provided conditions suitable to livestock thanks to a ground level door and window openings. In addition, the barn exemplifies improvements in farm technology, labour saving techniques and the evolution of farm buildings. For example, ramps for unloading hay were innovative as were the barn’s interior rope and pulley systems and a track along the upper roof

The red Bradley/Craig barn on Hazeldean Road has become an object of discussion, with a proposal to relocate the barn to Saunders Farm being made by the property owner and objections to the proposal coming from those who want to see the barn remain in place and continue to serve as a landmark for Stittsville.

ridge bean connected to a fork for vertically transferring hay into the “mow” and horizontally moving it across the “mow” as well. This barn was built in the early 1870’s by John A. Cummings (18311887) assisted by local farmers and apprentices. It is the last known example of about four area barns which were built by him. Joshua Bradley and his wife Lucinda and their descendants played a significant role in the life of the community. In 1860, the Bradleys entered into the first recorded agreement for land for the original S.S. No. 13 Goulbourn school at Hazeldean, selling the land where a log school building was erected. This log building was destroyed in the Carleton County Fire of 1870. John C. Bradley, son of Joshua and Lucinda, was reeve of Goulbourn in 1895 and 1896. Family members also served in the military. For example, Joshua’s grandson John Clifford Bradley served with Canada’s Expeditionary Force during World War One. A grandnephew, Silas Emmanuel (a.k.a. Manuel) Bradley, served with the Royal Canadian Field Artillery during the Boer War, returning home in 1901 and joining the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards in which he attained the rank of captain. Initially the Bradley farm was a subsistence farm by which the family’s needs were supplied from the land. Later, this evolved into mixed farming involving livestock. The 1842 census records Joshua as a farmer owning 280 acres including 72 so-called ‘improved acres’. The farm was producing 200 bushels of wheat, 900 bushels of oats and 500 bushels of potatoes. The farm had 21 meat cattle, two horses, one sheep and 11 hogs. The census also noted that the family belonged to the Church of England. The 1851 census shows Joshua and Lucy as having ten children between the ages of 18 and 2 while 20 year old Bridget Lyman from Ireland was identified as a “servant.” The 1861 census reveals that the family was living in a two storey log home built in 1832. The 1891 census gives Joshua Jr., age 40, as the head of the household with his wife Annie, age 28, a one year old son Joshua Ernest and Joshua’s mother, Lucinda, widowed and aged 78. Like many farms in the Hazeldean area, the Bradley land was fertile, well watered and largely stone free. Joshua and Lucinda’s grandson, John Clifford Bradley, who became a local auctioneer, pioneered tile drainage on both his own fields and those of others in the area. He became known for his pros-

perous dairy milk operation. Joshua’s son, Albert Bradley, became a skilled craftsman and carriage maker, operating a blacksmith shop at Hazeldean. While John Clifford Bradley and his wife Margaret raised Ayrshires

and Holsteins, their daughter Norma and her husband Eldon Craig raised award winning Brown Swiss cattle in their breeding and farming operation on the home farm. The Craigs sold the farmstead to Richcraft in 2006.

As many of you may recall, since 2011, I have lent out my services to various Rideau-Goulbourn businesses and services as part of my Councillor for Hire initiative. For the most part, I have done a different job each month but I skip a few months every now and then. In November 2015, I had the pleasure of helping out at the Richmond Curling Club for their 50+ Funspiel. It was great fun helping to serve lunch, mingling with the curlers and watching some of the excitement from the viewing area. The Richmond Curling Club began in 1960 and is the only curling club in the entire southwest region of Ottawa. Many curlers come from Kanata, Stittsville and Barrhaven to enjoy the fun and hospitality that the club offers in their many leagues and events. One of the unique connections that I have to the Richmond Curling Club is that my grandmother, Hilda Moore, was the first female President of the Club during the 1961-62 season. Interestingly, since its inception in 1960, the Richmond Curling Club has always alternated between male and female Presidents. I just want to thank the club for inviting me to spend a day with them and for not working me too hard. If you’d like to learn more about the Richmond Curling Club, you can visit www.richmond.ovca.com. In a future column, I’ll detail my most recent Councillor for Hire experience, which was just last week in the 311 call centre. If you’d like to “hire” me for a day, let me know. I come cheap!

An Afternoon in Austria The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers European Tour Choir invites all music-lovers to taste the music and flavours of an elegant Viennese café on Sunday, February 7th, at 2pm. The programme will include light classical music presented by a talented array of performers. The lineup includes the Interlude string trio; Sarah Burnell, soprano; Annie Duchesne, mezzo-soprano; Lindsay Allan, clarinetist; and the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers European Tour Choir. The composers represented are all associated with the rich Viennese musical tradition. You will be treated to lieder and opera arias, chamber music favourites, and a selection of famous choral pieces. This event is inspired by the up-coming tour to Austria and the Czech Republic by members of the adult choir of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers in July, 2016. They will be led by conductor Linda Crawford and accompanist Bonnie MacDiarmid. This ensemble will be participating in the annual choral festival at the famous Salzburg Mozarteum, and also performing at the Salzburg Cathedral and at other venues in the Salzburg region. Later, they will perform two concerts in Prague, joining forces with local musicians. This Afternoon in Austria café-concert is a fund-raiser for that trip. Admission ($25pp or $10 for children under 12) includes the concert, coffee or tea, and your choice of a Viennese café treat (sachertorte, linzertorte, or apfelstrudel). These iconic desserts will be home-made by our talented bakers in the choir. The venue is Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1817 Richardson Side Road. Winter boots are not permitted in the sanctuary, so please consider bringing indoor shoes. For tickets, please call Brian at 613-591-1937 or email Jim at jh.houghton@hotmail.com If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.

Statement calls barn ‘a relic’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A cultural heritage impact statement prepared by Commonwealth Resource Management for the development company proposing relocation of the red Bradley/Craig barn on Hazeldean Road calls the barn and its associated and similarly heritage designated farm house “a relic” of the distinct cultural landscape of farming that used to prevail in the area. It goes on to say that when surrounded by the large format retail outlets planned for the surrounding area, the role of the barn would be “that of a mascot.” “Based on the appearance of the commercial development across the street and the commercial designation of the Bradley/Craig lands fronting onto Hazeldean, the rural character will be gone, leaving the house and barn as orphan structures,” the statement claims. The statement further claims that relocation of the barn to Saunders Farm at Munster, as proposed, “allows the opportunity for the public to experience this magnificent structure in an appropriate rural setting. “ The statement says that if the barn remains in its present location as advocated by the city’s heritage planning staff, the barn “will lose its agricultural function and cathedral-like spaces.” In addition, any repurposing of the barn on the site which will involve extensive upgrading “to meet the program objectives of a commercial precinct will further diminish its character defining feature as a primary, purpose built agricultural structure.” The statement advocates for relocation of the barn to Saunders Farm, concluding with this observation: “The relocation strategy is often associated with a loss of context, but in this particular case, it may be seen as a more viable solution than rehabilitation on its present site in that it retains the artefact in a context. At Saunders Farm, the barn can be recognized as a significant part of Ottawa Valley history. Saunders Farm is in Goulbourn Township and is located in close proximity to the original site of the Bradley/Craig Barn. The structure’s architectural integrity will be preserved, there would be public access, and a more appropriate . . .

setting compared to the commercial development on 590 Hazeldean Road.” The statement makes a pitch for the proposed relocated site at Saunders Farm being a more appropriate setting for the barn. “Relocation will allow the barn to stand proud and be a focus in a rural setting,” the statement reads. “Retention in-situ in the context of the planned commercial development and intensification will be difficult to integrate into the large-format commercial culture and will result in the structure being surrounded by a commercial mixed-use area where its future vocation would be for retail purposes with parking and cars replacing the green-space setting.” The statement claims that relocation to Saunders Farm will give the public an opportunity “to experience this magnificent structure in an appropriate rural setting.” The statement also makes the following observation: “At first glance, the demolition, relocation and reassembly are a copout on the part of the developer and indefensible as a conservation practice. However, with a farm, the buildings are attributes; the values lie in the larger meaning of the land and its management. With the land gone, along with the agricultural processes, what remains are relics: valuable as crafted architectural pieces but anchorless.” The statement also states that finding a tenant who would be willing to undertaken the re-purposing of the barn in a respectful way would be challenging as the costs would be high. The statement outlines a number of reasons why relocating the barn to Saunders Farm is worthwhile, noting that if left in place, “the dignity of the barn would be viewed by the general public as a left-over relic, and its potential usability would be in question.” It lists a number of positive aspects of the relocation such as: the relocation will ensure that the barn will be retained in its entirety with the potential to be “animated and continue a meaningful existence in the community”; that the barn at Saunders Farm would be positioned to be used in traditional ways that reflect its historic function; that the barn’s three-dimensional form would remain intact in an appropriate rural setting; that its relocation would provide Ottawa residents with the opportunity to experience a traditional barn raising bee when it was re-built at Saunders Farm; and that the barn would be seen and visited by the public as Saunders Farm has attracted one

million visitors over the years. This cultural heritage impact statement regarding the Bradley/ Craig barn was prepared by Commonwealth Resource Management last September. Commonwealth Resource Management is an integrated consulting and management firm that is focused on planning and development for heritage resources. John Stewart, one of its principals, is a specialist in the planning and design of cultural resources, building conservation and commercial area revitalization. Key heritage features of the Bradley/Craig barn as outlined in the statement of reasons for its heritage designation in 2010 include the barn’s monitor roofline, stone foundations, timber frame construction, purlin frame kneewall, solid wood timbers connected by mortise tenon joinery, wood cladding, diamondshaped clerestory windows and raised two-bay barn plan. The city of Ottawa’s planning staff report about the proposal to relocate the Bradley/Craig barn disputes the conclusions of the cultural heritage impact statement. “The proposed demolition and relocation of the Bradley/Craig Barn will have a serious negative impact on the character of the Bradley/Craig farmstead and does not meet the Standards and Guidelines, is neither consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement nor the Official Plan. For these reasons, the Department does not support the proposed demolition.” The city report says that the Bradley/Craig barn is an “excellent and rare example of a 19th century dairy barn” with its large size, heavy timber framing with mortise and tenon joinery and monitor roofline with clerestory windows being characteristic of dairy barns constructed in the late 19th century. The report further states that the barn, the Gothic Revival style brick farmhouse and the farm yard are an excellent example of a late 19th century farm complex at a time when agriculture was the dominant economic activity in the province. The report further states that the farm complex “is an important visual reminder of the historic character of Goulbourn Township and its agricultural history, particularly as suburban development occurs.” At its meeting on Thursday, Dec. 10,Ottawa city council’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee voted 4-2 to support the city’s planning staff to reject the proposal to relocate the barn to Saunders Farm. The issue now goes before city council’s planning committee on Tuesday, Jan. 26 before going on to the full Ottawa city council.

Planning committee to consider future of barn John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The battle lines are drawn over the future of the red Bradley/Craig barn along Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri supports the proposal to relocate the heritage-designated barn to Saunders Farm at Munster. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA), along with a number of other groups such as Heritage Ottawa, the Federation of Community Associations (FCA), the Goulbourn Historical Society and the Goulbourn Museum, want to see the barn remain where it is and continue to serve as a landmark for the Stittsville community. A decision on the barn’s future will be made by city council’s planning committee at its meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 26 at Ottawa city hall. City council’s Built Heritage SubCommittee decided at a December meeting that the barn should not be removed from its current site and its recommendation for this is what will spur the planning committee’s deliberation of the matter at its Jan. 26 meeting. While the vote at the Built Heritage SubCommittee was 4-2 in favour of not moving the barn, the two dissenting votes were both cast by city councillors, namely Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and Kanata North councillor Marianne Wilkinson. SVA vice-president Glen Gower, speaking at the SVA meeting on Thursday, Jan. 14, pointed out that while preserving the barn at its current site has passed one hurdle in getting support from the Built Heritage SubCommittee, the matter now is facing a second hurdle at the upcoming planning committee meeting. He noted that Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is supporting the relocation of the barn to Saunders Farm at Munster, adding that other city councillors put a lot of weight behind the view of a local councillor when dealing with such issues. He said that there is a lot of community support to retain the barn at its current site, noting that the property owner has not done

its due diligence in trying to identify other potential re-adaptive uses for the barn at its present location. Vice-president Gower said that right now city councillors were being presented with two choices: leave the barn at its current site where it will be maintained as is, eventually deteriorating, or moving the barn to Saunders Farm. However, he said that there is a third option in which the developer would find a suitable adaptive use for the structure at the current site. He said that there are other examples of barns being re-purposed, saying there are many viable options available to keep the barn at its current site. He suggested that in the future, a nonprofit organization might be formed that could perhaps access various grants and funds to help re-purpose the barn. SVA president Tanya Hein commented that those wanting to see the barn remain at its current site are trying to get across the point that there are other options to the barn’s relocation and that the barn remaining where it is does not automatically place it at odds with the new development that will be springing up around it. At its meeting, the SVA agreed to accept donations from the public on behalf of the new Friends of the Bradley/Craig Farm organization to help the new group meet expenses related to finding a sustainable adaptive re-use for the barn. For its part, Saunders Farm has stated that its desire is and always has been to celebrate and sustain the area’s heritage. Mark Saunders of Saunders Farm has pointed out that Saunders Farm has re-built and restored 11 heritage farm buildings on its property at Munster. He has said that he toured the Bradley/ Craig barn for the first time last June and was impressed with its construction and beauty. “Richcraft believes that our publicly visited farm would be a great location to showcase this building to the public,” Mark wrote last December. He pledged at that time to work with Richcraft Homes, which is the barn’s owner, the city of Ottawa and Heritage Ottawa on any relocation of the barn to the Saunders Farm site.

Fundraiser for Meehan family Special to the News

Nine year old Michael Meehan of Stittsville was diagnosed with leukemia in Jan. 2013. Two years of chemotherapy saw his cancer officially go in remission. But during a routine blood test last October, it was discovered that Michael’s leukemia had returned. This meant more chemotherapy sessions at CHEO. But it was discovered that Michael was not reacting to the chemotherapy. This meant that Michael was

directed to a new treatment called CAR-T cell therapy which is offered only in Montreal, is not covered by any medical plans and means another extended leave from work for Michael’s father, an Ottawa police officer.

City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

Jan. 15, 2016

Flewellyn Jones House Heritage Designation Approval On January 14th the Built Heritage Sub-Committee approved the heritage designation for the Flewellyn Jones House is located at 5897 Fernbank Road. The Flewellyn/Jones House, is a one-and-one-halfstorey stone farmhouse located on Fernbank Road near the corner of Shea Road in former Goulbourn Township near Stittsville. The house was constructed in 1886 for the Flewellyn/Jones family who were early settlers in the area. The Committee also approved a motion which I requested and had Councillor Wilkinson put forward on my behalf as I am not a member of this committee. The motion directed the removal of the apple orchard from the list of heritage attributes; acknowledged cultural heritage value of the apple orchard and direct staff to work with the property owner to retain and incorporate as much of the orchard as possible through the development review process; and directed staff to work with the new property owner to assess the condition of the building and if a new foundation is required, the potential relocation of the building on the site. Recently I had the opportunity to visit the Flewellyn Jones House and I was able to see the great character the house has to offer.

Big Band music at Stittsville Public School John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The gymnasium at Stittsville Public School resounded with music from the Big Band era last Friday morning. It was the scene of a concert by the Grey Jazz Big Band of Ottawa, performed for the grade four, five and six students of the school who had been learning about Big Band music over the previous two weeks thanks to the efforts of Stittsville Public School volunteer Sandy Faux. Ms. Faux had visited each of the nine classes involved, providing information about Big Band music and telling about the different instruments involved with a Big Band – instruments such as saxophone, trumpet, trombone, guitar, drums and piano. In her classroom presentations, she played a CD version of “Jersey Bounce,” a Big Band hit in 1942 recorded by some of the biggest names of the so-called “Swing Era” for Big Band music such as Benny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. The “Jersey Bounce” was used because it is a song in which the different Big Band instruments are featured at different times. There is the piano and the string bass in the introduction and then saxophones begin playing the repetitive melody. Then there is a string of solo features including a tenor saxophone solo, a clarinet solo, an alto saxophone sol, a trombone solo and a piano solo. During each of these solos,

the musicians improvise their parts, playing not necessarily the written musical notes but playing what their “artistic heart” is feeling. The presentations also included a brief outline of the Big Band era. Big Bands became popular in the 1920’s thanks to performances on radio, a performance setting that proved important in the Great Depression when bandleaders like Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Count Basie ruled the airwaves. Big Bands remained popular through the World War Two years but the popularity of the music started to decline. By 1956, rock ‘n roll took over thanks to Elvis Presley and then by the mid-sixties came the British invasion with the Beatles and Rolling Stones. And then on to David Bowie and Michael Jackson. At the Friday concert, a group of nine students – one from each participating class – got to perform with the Grey Jazz Big Band, playing maracas and rhythm sticks. Another special treat was Sandy Faux herself, who has sung with Big Bands, performing with the Grey Jazz Big Band on a couple of songs. At the conclusion of the concert, students also had the opportunity to ask some questions about Big Band music and the Grey Jazz Big Band. Ms. Faux said that Big Band music was selected as a musical topic for the students because it is important that the students get

to see and hear the various instruments used in a Big Band so that they get familiar with them. The Grey Jazz Big Band was founded in 1987 to play the music of the Big Band Swing Era. It has played for Queen Elizabeth on a Royal visit and has played at the Canadian War Museum and at the Ottawa Jazz Festival.

Long time CJOH-TV personality Bill Luxton is the MC as well as the male vocalist for the Grey Jazz Big Band. The band’s female vocalist is Mary Frances Simpson who has had a long career singing with big bands including the Moxie Whitney Orchestra at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. The Grey Jazz Big Band is based at The Good Companions Club in Ottawa.

Music program at Holy Spirit Catholic School John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The holiday song “Jingle Bells” and Santa’s recognizable greeting “Ho, Ho, Ho” both were used as teaching tools in a special music program presented at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville last week. The music program, developed and presented for the first time by the West End Music School of Stittsville, demonstrated and explained some of the basic concepts of music for kindergarten to grade two students at the school. The program is designed to complement and build on the existing curriculum taught in the school while generating interest in music. Zac Blahout, an instructor at the West End Music School who is also a certified teacher, led the program which was delivered over three mornings (Tuesday through Thursday) at the school. The program began with an initial session for the students focused on tempo, beat and rhythm. The following day, Wednesday, saw the students learn about pitch, articulation, vocal tone and use of the diaphragm muscles to produce sounds. Instructor Zac explained pitch in terms of a roller coaster of the voice, with sounds going from low to high. He even played a familiar tune on the piano to demonstrate pitch. And this song, readily identified by the students, was the Star Wars theme. Articulation means speaking clearly and using the different parts of

the mouth effectively to present clear sounds. Zac described these parts of the mouth as “the lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue.” He even threw out a tongue twister, “Irish wrist watch,” challenging the students to say it quickly three times as a way to emphasize the importance of clear pronunciation. Zac also told about vocal tone, demonstrating a nasally sound versus a fuller sound and then challenging the students to try it. Vocal tone means keeping the same pitch while varying the volume of the song. Zac also explained how the diaphragm, that muscle down in the belly, plays a role in squeezing air from the lungs to make musical sounds. This is where Santa’s greeting “Ho, Ho, Ho” came into play, as Zac used this Santa phrase when he demonstrated how the diaphragm and belly moved when making such sounds. And when it came time to put all of these parts together by singing a song, Zac chose the Christmas song “Jingle Bells” because it’s a song that the students all knew and could sing. The third day of the program (Thursday) saw a variety of musical instruments demonstrated and explained to the students. This included the piano with its keys and hidden strings, the guitar with its strings, the oud which is a pear-shaped string instrument that John Curry/Metroland is considered an ancestor of the guitar, the West End Music School instructor Zac Blahout, right, sitting at the piano, demonstrates clarinet and the ukulele. the different pitch of keys on the piano to a group of students at Holy Spirit Catholic See MUSIC PROGRAM, page 31

Bell Warriors banquet Special to the News’

The Bell Warriors honoured their tyke and mosquito players, rewarding outstanding 2015 seasons with the presentation of a variety

satile; Jackson Welsh of Nepean as Most Improved Player; Andrew Howatt of Ashton as Outstanding Offensive Back; Chris EdouardWilliams of Bayshore as Outstanding Defensive Back; Dylan Krout of Ottawa as Best O-Line Player; Liam Ryan of Carleton Place as Best D-Line Player; and Dylan Stengel of Bayshore as Most Valuable Player. Guest speaker at this year’s Bell Warriors team banquets was former Bell Warrior Justin Phillips who now plays for the Ottawa REDBLACKS of the Canadian Football League (CFL). A graduate of Sacred Heart High School, Justin went on to play at Wilfrid Laurier University, winning the Vanier Cup. He then played for seven seasons with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL, winning a Grey Cup there, before becoming an Ottawa REDBLACK. In 2013, Justin was the inaugural inductee into the Bell Warriors Hall of Fame. Each player on these teams received a souvenir team program at the banquet which included the team’s statistics from the 2015 season, listed the players including sweater number and position and carried a photograph of each player. The team program also includ-

ed a message from the coach. Bell Warriors tyke head coach Brian Patterson, in his message, summed up the season by saying that the Bell Warriors tykes in 2015 had fun and played exciting nail biting games. “Key injuries and untimely mistakes cost us but we learned from them as the season went on,” he wrote. “There was never any quilt in this group.” “Although the season was filled with ups and downs, it did not deter the young players from working very hard each and every game,” the coach wrote. “We were encouraged at the kids improvement game after game.” He called the team’s defensive team arguably the best in the league. Playing in the West Division of the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA) tyke league, the Bell Warriors finished with a record of one win and seven losses in eight games. The team scored 38 points while allowing 117 points. In the C-Cup quarter-finals following the regular season, the Bell Warriors tykes defeated the Rideau RedBlacks 7-0, moving on to the semi-finals where the Bell Warriors lost 32-6 to the Mews Orleans Bengals.

Players are drawn from an area including Bells Corners, Crystal Beach, Bayshore, Britannia, Stittsville, Richmond and Munster. The Bell Warriors Football Club stresses skills development, sportsmanship and the value of teamwork. Over 50 volunteers help the Club

attain these goals through their efforts, either serving on the executive, coaching or serving as conveners, event organizers or as bingo workers. Paul Stewart of Richmond is the president of the Bell Warriors Football Club.

What we offer our young players is far too important to have financial barriers limit enrolment.” Fundraising such as happens with these silent auctions at the team banquets is important for the Bell Warriors Football Club because less than half of the Club’s revenue comes from player fees. That’s why financial and in-kind support from the community as well as fundraising play significant roles in the Bell Warriors operation. Donors who provided donations for the silent auctions at the recent team banquets included 1951 West Kitchen & Bar in Bells Corners, Battle River Bison Company (Richard Allan) of Perth, Benson Auto Parks (Doug Veltkamp) in Bells Corners, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville, CAA North and East, Canadian Tire in Bells Corners, Chris Hyndman (Warriors alumni), Complete Hockey Development Centre in Stittsville, Danby’s Bar & Grill in Munster, Darlene Miller of North Gower, David Rheaume of Toronto, Jill Skinner of the Ottawa Police Service, Ettore Lattanzio (Ottawa REDBLACKS defensive lineman), Geoff

and Diane Forsyth of Bells Corners, George Stengel of Bayshore, HESN Athletics (Jesse Card), Hosie & Brown Auto Electric Ltd. in Nepean, Jerome – Photographer of Ottawa, Keenan Sports Photography (Wanda Keenan) of Stittsville, King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond, Kyle Norris (CFL player and Warriors alumni), Mr. Lube in Bells Corners, Ottawa REDBLACKS (CFL team), Ottawa Valley Kitchens (Blair Howatt and Lucy Dasilva) in Richmond, Primo Self Storage in Nepean, Riddell Sports (Andy McArdle), RONA in Stittsville, Rudy’s Barber Style (Kim Roscoe), Rukia Kyriazis, S & S Auto Centre in Richmond, Sit and Stay of Stittsville, Starbucks in Bells Corners, The Brew Table in Bells Corners, The Butchery in Bells Corners, the Keenan family of Stittsville, the Sheahan family, the Stewart family, TMSI, Whiprsnapr Brewing Co. of Bells Corners, Yasmin Fues (Grenville Guardian Real Estate Brokerage) and Zolas in Bells Corners. The Bells Warriors Football Club also has a sponsorship program through which individuals and businesses provide financial and in-kind support to the Club at a number of levels. Gold sponsors for 2015 included Scotiabank (Richmond), Primo Self Stor-

age, Ontario Iron Works, The Glen Scottish Restaurant and Pub (Stittsville) and Ottawa Valley Kitchens (Richmond). Silver sponsors for 2015 included Yasmin Fues, the RCMP Officer’s Mess and King’s Your Independent Grocer (Richmond). Bronze sponsors for 2015 included Jim Dulmage, Battle River Bison Co., Bradley’s Commercial Insurance, Don Cherry’s Sports Grill, Danby’s Bar & Grill, BMO Global Asset Management and RONA (Stittsville). “Friend of the Warriors” sponsors for 2015 included Mike Polito of Stittsville, Janet and Mike Keenan of Stittsville, Susan and Rick Rabb of Richmond, Grant and Cathy England of Stittsville, David Rheaume of Toronto and 1951 West Kitchen & Bar of Nepean. The Bell Warriors Football Club also has an active roster of volunteers who support the Club by hosting winter conditioning sessions, fielding tackle football teams and helping with the girls’ spring touch football teams. These Warriors supporters volunteer over 5,000 hours a year with the Club thanks to their commitment to help instill in the players the value of hard work, respect, responsibility, commitment, sportsmanship and leadership.

The Bell Warriors Football Club’s team banquets on Saturday, Jan. 9 not only saw players honoured but also saw the Club raise over $5,000 thanks to silent auctions which were held at both of the banquets. These funds raised by the silent auctions at the tyke/mosquito banquet and at the pee wee/bantam banquet will be going to help purchase new football equipment for players to ensure that the sport of tackle football remains affordable for everyone. This was the fourth straight year that silent auctions were held at the team banquets. These silent auctions have raised about $20,000 in total over the four years. This level of funding is able to cover the purchase cost of over 60 new helmets or cover the registration fees for over 60 players. Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart points out that the silent auctions help the Club achieve two of its primary goals. “One of our primary goals as a club is to focus on player safety by upgrading our equipment and re-certifying our existing equipment annually,” president Stewart says.

MARY COOK Memories They were all good neighbours, those along the Northcote Side Road. A helping hand always at the ready. They mingled over the euchre table at the Saturday night house parties, and ate in the same kitchen when they gathered for thrashing or wood-sawing days. And yet when it came to church, there was, what Father called, ‘the great divide’. The Lutheran and United Churches in Northcote were where most of the social life of the community took place. And although both congregations joined together for events, there was often a “them and us” attitude between the two churches. Father, a staunch Lutheran, often complained that “Those Uniteds only give us the right time of day when there is a free meal in the offing.” Mother said that was sheer nonsense, because we Lutherans weren’t above filling our plates at the United Church suppers either! Take the annual Box Social for instance. It was always held at the United Church, sometimes in the summer, but often in the

Box Social was always good for a few surprises mid-winter months, and we Hanemans never missed it. And that year, it was to take place as part of a Valentine’s Day celebration. Of course, anyone as young as I would not be taking a box for the party, but certainly my sister Audrey would be right in there. She made lists for days. Certainly, there would be butter tarts, and fried chicken legs, and a couple of Mother’s famous sticky buns. Packed in beautifully decorated boxes, the long table in the church hall would be stacked end to end, each one brimming with a delicious lunch, made by the young ladies of the community, and hopefully attractive enough to entice one of the young men at the social to buy it. Some of the girls wrapped their boxes in Christmas tissue, which back then only came in red, blue, green or white, but the plainness was taken away with the use of plenty of ribbons and anything else a girl could put on the box to attract a buyer. He would then have the privilege of eating

the lunch with the young girl who had made it. Of course, no one was to know who made up what box. My brother Emerson, who was much too young to enter into the contest, said it was like buying a “pig in a poke,” a phrase he picked up from Father when I wasted a whole dime on a grab bag at Ritza’s Rexall Drug Store, thinking I was getting a bottle of expensive perfume, and ended up with Lyndia’s Pink Pills for Pale People! The night of the party at the United Church, was bitterly cold. We bundled up like mummies, and headed out in the flat-bottomed sleigh, with Audrey holding her box, tightly wrapped in a spankingly clean white tea towel, and then in a heavy blanket to keep its innards from freezing. I watched as she packed it. Two fried chicken legs, two of Mother’s sticky buns, butter tarts, and homemade brown sugar fudge. She wrapped it in white paper and coloured red hearts all over it with crayon. On top was a red bow, taken right off my washstand upstairs used to tie up my long red ringlets. She had washed and ironed it, and I had to admit, the box was a sight for sore eyes, and I was sure would be one of the first to be bid on. Well, after lots of frivolity, it came time to bid on the boxed lunches. Some were just in plain shoeboxes, but those like Audrey’s stole the show, and the

bidding started. Audrey of course, was hoping a lad from the Barr Line she was sweet on would buy hers. Well, as it turned out, Orville, whose two eyes went in different directions, and one ear had been half ripped off in a fight with Two Mile Herman paid a full dollar for Audrey’s lunch box. To say she was more than disappointed would be an understatement. She watched one of the Thom girls boxed lunch go to the boy from the Barr Line, but I was mighty proud of my sister who made the best of it. The evening ended up with a rousing square dance, then we gathered up the remains of the lunch box, and headed for home. On the sleigh Mother told Audrey she was mighty proud of her, and she pointed out how the lad had a wonderful smile, and looked as clean as a whistle. Father, sitting on a bale of hay at the front of the sleigh, could be heard saying, “Yes, and he’s a Lutheran too.” Audrey didn’t care what he was. As far as she was concerned the friendship with the lad from Admaston, began and ended at the box social on a cold frosty night at the United Church in Northcote.

Pork tenderloin with fruit and nuts Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

This is an elegant entrée for your next dinner party. Each slice is studded with cranberries, apples and nuts. It’s easy on the cook too – just assemble it a day ahead and roast at serving time. If you don’t have seasoned bread crumbs, season plain bread crumbs with dried Italian mixed herbs and pepper. Preparation Time: 30 minutes Roasting Time: 45 minutes Serves: 4 INGREDIENTS 1 pork tenderloin, (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 lb/625 to 750 g) 2 slices bacon, chopped 1/3 cup (75 mL) diced onion ¾ cup (175 mL) dry seasoned bread crumbs 1 Ontario Apple, peeled, cored and chopped 1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped toasted walnuts 1/3 cup (75 mL) fresh or frozen cranberries, halved if large 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh sage leaves (1/2 tsp/2 mL dried) Chicken broth or water Salt and pepper 2 tbsp (25 mL) olive oil or butter, melted PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS Cut tenderloin almost through lengthwise;

open like a book. Place plastic wrap on top and under tenderloin; pound with rolling pin to flatten to even thickness. Set aside. In medium saucepan or skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium-high heat until tender and browned. Stir in bread crumbs, apple, walnuts, cranberries and sage. Moisten slightly with up to ¼ cup (50 mL) broth until mixture holds together when pressed. Season with salt, pepper and more sage to taste. Place tenderloin, smooth side down, on work surface. Press filling along length of centre third; roll meat around filling to enclose completely. Tie with string at 1-1/2inch (7 cm) intervals. (Can be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight at this point.) Place, seam-side-down, in lightly greased baking dish. Brush with oil. Sprinkle with pepper to taste. Roast in 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in centre registers 160°F (71°C); or until juices run clear when pork is pierced and just a hint of pink remains inside. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing into ¾-inch (2 cm) thick slices. NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION One serving Protein: 39 grams Fat: 24 grams Carbohydrates: 24 grams Calories: 472 Fibre: 3 grams

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, do not allow distractions to keep you from completing tasks that need to get done. Use your ability to focus to plow through your to-do list and finish in record time. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, this week you may be tempted to take risks you never would have considered before. Just don’t let excitement get in the way of common sense. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Something totally unexpected will grab your attention in the next few days, Gemini. Trust your intuition to take things slowly and put out all feelers before you forge ahead. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you have a plan to reach all of your goals, do not put success ahead of others’ feelings. Be considerate of others even if their efforts are not up to par. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, proceed with caution in a new friendship or partnership. Test the waters before you devote yourself fully. This approach will ensure you made the right decision. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if the potential to be criticized scares you, you may not be inclined to express yourself honestly. Worry less about what others think of you and be confident in yourself.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you’re feeling on edge lately, it may be because you haven’t had a chance to relieve stress. Exercise can be a surefire fix to what ails you, so get up and go. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, an opportunity presents itself in the weeks ahead, and this will be too good to pass up. Embrace the changes that this opportunity offers. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, your social life is bustling, but sometimes it can be difficult to keep up with all of the things filling your calendar. You may want to take a few days off. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Career obstacles may pop up from time to time, but you have the commitment to see things through for the long haul. Keep up that perseverance this week. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 You can’t always play the peacemaker, Aquarius. Sometimes you just have to let others fight their own battles and then offer support to those who need it. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, there is more going on than meets the eye. You have to pay attention to the subtle undercurrents to figure out fact from fiction. 0121
