Lots happening at U-Rock Music School Special to the News
News - Two vocal students of the U-Rock Music School of Stittsville have entered an international singing competition sponsored by the United Kingdom’s Vocal Council. Both of the students applied by submitting a video featuring them singing. The video of Karolina Moo, 12, featured her singing in French the song Mon Histoire from the musical Les Miserables. Abigail Moffitt, also 12 years old, submitted a video showing her singing the Miley Cyrus hit song “Wrecking Ball” on stage in a competition last November. Entries to the competition had to be submitted by Thursday, Jan. 15. The competition was open to all aspiring singers, with the overall winner to receive up to $1,000 in prizes as well as media promotion and feedback from celebrity vocal coaches. In addition, selected submissions will be featured in Vocal Council’s online magazine. This is not all that has been happening at Cathy Hallessey’s U-Rock Music School. The year 2014 was capped off with three of the school’s vocal students performing at the Algonquin Commons Theatre. These U-Rock students auditioned for spots on the
program and were selected. Over hundreds of applicants from the Ottawa area had auditioned. The three students who performed with others from the area on stage at the Algonquin Commons Theatre were Abigail Moffitt, 12, and Sarah Culbert, 13, both from Stittsville, and Hailey Kruse, 17, from Kanata. These U-Rock Music School students will be among the students from the school who will be performing at the upcoming first annual winter contest presented by the U-Rock Music School at The Brass Monkey at 250 Greenbank Road in Nepean, a true rock style concert venue. This concert will feature the first-ever performance by U-Rock Music School’s first student rock band, The Beetle Squishers. This band involves eight young musicians aged 12 to 16 who came together to form a rock band, calling themselves The Beetle Squishers as a nod to their two music teachers/coaches who perform with the Ottawa rock band Spiderkillers. The new band has been challenged to perform two classic rock songs on stage at the upcoming U-Rock winter concert on
Sunday, Feb. 1 at The Brass Monkey on Owner Cathy Hallessey recently launched a new website Greenbank Road before an expected crowd to better showcase the talents of her students. The website of more than 150 people. can be found at www.u-rockschool.com . This is the first band experience for all eight of the band members who are all students at the U-Rock Music School. Thirteen year old Grace Carrie, usually a singer, is playing the drums in the band. Guitarist Liam Marelic, also 13 years old, has switched to play the bass guitar for the band. Acoustic guitarist Aidan Kratt, 12, is another band member as is lead guitarist Becky Hall, 16. Doing the vocals for the band are singers Kaitlyn Weatherall, 14; Sarah Culbert, 13; Kyrstein Wright, 16; and Abigail Moffitt, 12. Everyone is welcome to attend this URock Music School winter concert on Sunday, Feb. 1 starting at 3 p.m. at The Brass Monkey at 250 Greenbank Road in Nepean. Cost is $5 for a family of four.

Performing in Stittsville John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Folk singer/songwriter Lynne Hanson has performed around Canada, the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom and now she has performed in Stittsville as well. She made her Stittsville performance debut at last Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville, playing the guitar and singing a wide-ranging array of her own songs, including two of the “murder songs” which have become a trademark on her albums. And for her performance in Stittsville she was joined by Danny Artuso who not only provided guitar accompaniment including sometimes on the enchanting pedal steel guitar but also provided a backup vocal voice on some of the songs. Lynne’s songs arise from her own experiences and feelings and, as her performance revealed, run the gamut of emotions. There’s “This Too Shall Pass,” a song she wrote based on a phrase that she remembers her mother saying, “This too shall pass,” indicating a belief that things were going to get better. A little more upbeat in tempo were “River of Sand,” the title song from her latest and fourth studio album, and “Waiting by the Water” with its pedal steel guitar accompaniment. And Danny Artuso’s pedal steel guitar accompaniment of “Foolish Things,” a song which Lynne wrote after an all-night stay in an
Amsterdam airport, provided an added lustre and lyrical sound that made this song an obvious favourite with the standing-room-only audience which packed the Gaia Java shop as everyone appeared fixated on the sounds of this song that filled the air in the shop at that moment. After a peppy little song “Tightrope” with its graphic imagery (“I’m walking a tightrope, baby, and the wind is blowing”), Lynne sang about moving from a long time home, ending a cherished relationship with the house. “I swear I heard that old house sigh” and “I left my heart in that house on county road” were among the lyrics which portrayed her sadness in leaving behind the old house and all of its memories. This was another song that saw Danny Artuso play the pedal steel guitar, adding its haunting sounds to the music. Lynne sang “Eleven Months,” the title track from her second album released in 2008 before ending her first set with, what else, a murder song, “Mary, Mary.” Her second set featured more story songs such as “Heaven and Hell” about the fine line that exists between feeling alright and not feeling alright and “Here We Go Again,” a song inspired by the hurt that can arise from a broken first love. Her second set included another murder song, “Willow Tree.” She wrote it after she left a bluegrass band, explaining that bluegrass music seems to feature a lot of killings and deaths.

At Gaia Java coffee shop Historical Society celebration Special to the News
Continued from page 6
“Movie Queen,” another of the songs which Lynne sung in this performance, was written after she took a ferry ride to Prince Edward Island after initially wanting to travel over the Confederation Bridge. Another song, “Cold Touch,” was written in a small apartment while in Whitehouse a number of years ago. And although it was August, she still found it cold and this feeling prevailed in the song as evidenced by its title. For her last song of the evening, Lynne opted for a singalong, albeit for one of her own songs. Such a singalong had worked out well at a performance in Germany and she challenged the Stittsville audience to be as involved as that German audience was. And so the singalong lyrics filled the coffee shop – “I traded in my lonesome/ I traded in my blues/ I traded in every tear I ever cried/ Baby, I’m trading in you.” This Gaia Java coffee shop performance was Lynne Hanson’s first one of 2015 but it won’t be the last by any means. At the end of this month, she is off on a tour in Alberta and northern Saskatchewan. And on Sunday, May 31, she will be performing at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield. Lynne Hanson grew up in Ottawa and started playing the guitar when she was 14 years old. She released her debut album “Things I Miss” in 2006, following it up with two more albums, “Eleven Months” in 2008 and “Once The Sun Goes Down” in 2010. She earned a Canadian Folk Music Award nomination in 2009 and in 2010 received the prestigious Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award from the Ontario Arts Council. Her newest studio album is “River of Sand”
in which she worked with Juno winning singer Lynn Miles as producer. The eleven songs in this newest album tell stories of heartbreak and personal struggle contrasted against hope that better times are coming. And, of course, the album features a murder ballad, now a trademark of her albums. Lynne, who also performs with her band The Good Intentions, has toured Canada, the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom. She has toured with such Grammy nominated songwriters as Gretchen Peters and Steve Forbert and she has performed as some historic music venues including the 100 Club in London, England and the Bluebird Café in Nashville. Now she can add the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville to the list of venues where she has played and while last Friday’s performance was the first time, it may not be the last. Paul Jay of the Gaia Java shop held out this possibility as at the end of her performance, he wished her good luck on her upcoming tour out West and expressed the hope that she may return to perform at the Gaia Java shop when she returns home following the tour. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street holds a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. Donations to support the musicians and singers who perform at these Friday music evenings are encouraged but are not mandatory. This Friday, Jan. 23, singer/songwriter Ron Mills of Ottawa will be performing at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop.

Time to ask for some help
I
t seems Ottawa is once again picking up the provincial government’s slack, but this time it’s at the municipality’s request. Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson is proposing the city take the lead on a proactive measure designed to help young gang members break their criminal ties when they are released from jail. After meeting with Ottawa police Chief Charles Bordeleau on Jan. 12 to discuss a spike in gang violence across the city in 2014, Watson promised to find funding in the municipal budget to pay for a new “exit strategy� program. Keep in mind, this is coming from a mayor who has pledged to cap annual budget increases at two per cent during his four-year term of office. City hall is obviously feeling the pressure to do something after the city was rocked with a record 49 shootings – many of them gang related – last year. A few councillors had even suggested providing money to hire more officers, giving Bordeleau the opening to break a police hiring freeze. But the police chief says he has no intention of
requesting additional funds, and instead is beefing up the guns and gangs section by using officers from other units. Of course, this is only a temporary solution, but then again, the spike in gang-related violence is a temporary situation, not a continuing trend, according to Bordeleau. We won’t see immediate results from the mayor’s suggested exit strategy for gang members – this is a long term solution which will only bear fruit over the years to come. As laudable a program as the exit strategy may be, we question the reason why the funding must come from the city’s coffers. Any program attacking the rate of re-offence among young offenders should fall under the purview of the provincial or federal governments. We applaud city council for taking the initiative, but perhaps the mayor should consider making a phone call to Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi, a local MPP and, co-incidentally, also the minister of community safety and correctional services.

e often lament changing times, because times change from what we have liked. When a bookstore shuts down, a depressingly familiar event in this town, there is a chorus of lament from book-lovers. When a familiar smoke shop shuts down, as Brittons did last week, the media are full of lamentations from former customers. It’s all sincere. We like little bookstores. We hate it when they disappear. We love smoke shops, the ones with magazines and newspapers from all around the world. We want them always to be there. But then, when was the last time we were in one? And don’t we read newspapers from all over the world online now? And don’t we buy online

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town subscriptions to those magazines? And didn’t we quit smoking? Not that it will make any of us feel better, but it’s helpful, in facing up to change, to recognize that change isn’t some disembodied force that swoops down on us, closing book stores. Change comes, at least in part, from decisions we make. We could probably have stopped some of it, or at least slowed it. Some of the decisions we make are smart ones, some are just lazy

and some are mixed. For example, it was smart to quit smoking, even though one of the functions of a smoke shop is to sell smokes. But, buying magazine subscriptions online? Well, we could argue that we are saving trees by cutting down the volume of paper we purchase. But it could also be said that we were too lazy to support the store that sold those magazines. Maybe we didn’t think about the consequences. The same goes for bookstores. First we moved away from the smaller stores to the big chains, because of greater variety and discounted prices. Our loyalty to the little shop on the corner lasted until we saw the first “40 per cent-off� sticker.

we saw greater variety was to be had from Amazon and we didn’t have to go outside. And then there was another blow from progress, the invention of the ebook, which caused many of us to move away from printed books altogether in favour of stuff you can read on gadgets. It wasn’t some dark force that caused all this. It was us. We want things to be as cheap and as convenient as possible. Sure, there are corporations and governments that encourage us to indulging our little weaknesses. But it wasn’t a government, and probably wasn’t entirely corporate vileness that caused us to lose downtown movie theatres. It was people who wanted free parking at the suburban megaplex or a DVD in the comforts of home. Similarly, it isn’t government and corporations that are causing the traffic unpleasantness we find ourselves in daily.

Offering caregiving solutions for seniors Special to the News
News - Caroline Inman of Stittsville says that she is passionate about being an advocate for the elderly, about assisting them with whatever they need as best she can and about thoroughly enjoying everyone that she meets along the way. Indeed, she believes that this is the best job in the world so it is not surprising that with work experience in the elder care field, she has now taken the opportunity to open her own business, Home at Heart (Ottawa) Inc., which she operates from her home in Stittsville. This new Stittsville business, though, serves all of Ottawa, offering caregiving solutions for seniors and their families. Home at Heart provides non-medical help and assistance with daily living needs to seniors and to adults with a disability, illness or injury. This can include home support (laundry, meal preparation, housekeeping), personal support assistance with bathing and grooming, dementia and companion care, sitting services, overnight and 24 hour stays, drives and accompaniments to appointments, errands and groceries and gardening and yard work. “There are many seniors across our communities who could benefit from an additional pair of hands to help them in the home with chores they are no longer able to do or want to do,” says Ms. Inman. Services that Home at Heart provides can be pooled together or can stand alone. There is to-
tal flexibility in these services so that they best suit the exact needs of each person served. “Often a few hours a week are all that’s needed to get you back on track, and knowing that you’re going to see the same caregiver each time, with whom you’re building a relationship and friendship, can be a great confidence booster and make a tremendous difference.” All of Home at Heart’s caregivers are aged over 40 years old and are fully insured, referenced and background checked including a clean police report for the vulnerable sector. Services can be delivered in the home, at a retirement residence, at a long term care facility or in a hospital. “Anything you can think of that you need assistance with, call us,” adds Ms. Inman. “I personally promise that if I can’t help you, I will find you someone that can.” Besides offering care delivered with understanding, Home at Heart can also be a comfort to families of the elderly who may live away from the Ottawa area or who may be caught up in their own busy family lives. “Living away from elderly family myself, I know how it feels to be constantly wondering how they’re doing, what they’re doing and with whom,” says Ms. Inman. “Knowing that we’re here to be a professional son or daughter for your parents or elderly relatives can make all the difference,” she says. “We can chat through needs and requirements with you at no obligation and provide daily or weekly updates for

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.
Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have the time to do it. by Jessica Houle, lawyer at Sicotte Guilbault LLP, jhoule@sicotte.ca (613)-837-7408, ext. 260
It is a mistake to think that charitable gifting is only for people at a certain income level. Anyone can leave a charitable gift from their estate, regardless of the size of the estate. A gift is a gift, no matter how big or small and every bit helps and is appreciated. The good news is that including a gift in your Will is very easy
a legacy gift in your Will is a great way “ Leaving to give back to the community without having to compromise your time. ”
and will benefit many people. A charitable gift to Forever CHEO enhances the quality of life for children and their families in our community and leaves donors with a sense of fulfillment. Leaving a charitable gift also has some interesting tax benefits which are worth considering.
Another misconception is that you have to volunteer your time in order to give back to your community. Many hard-working people want to make a positive difference in their community, but don’t have time to do it. Leaving a legacy gift in your Will is a great way to give back to the community without having to compromise your time.
If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at
megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694
In short, you don’t have to be wealthy to make a difference and there is no such thing as an insignificant gift. By including a gift in your Will, whatever its size, you are helping to ensure that CHEO’s important work lives on for generations to come.

Tournament win for Stittsville Thunder Special to the News
Submitted
Members of the Stittsville Thunder Novice A3 team, champions in the recent tournament in Nepean, are, lying at the front, goalie Nolan Rogers; first row, kneeling, from left, Patrick Dawes, Lucas Field, Maverick Hayes, Eli Schoch and Trent Ladouceur; second row, standing, from left, Logan Stewart, Nathan Howard, Nicholas Milbury, Liam Shannon, Liam Yelle, Benjamin Keogh, Cameron McGarry and Ben Haight; and, back row, from left, Jamie McGarry, Jeff Milbury, head coach Scott Rogers, Ray Shannon and Ian Hayes. Missing from the picture is team manager Nicole Dawes.
Sports - Two tournaments in a row. Fun. Another five games without a defeat. Impressive. And another tournament championship. Awesome. The Stittsville Thunder Novice A3 team skating to its second consecutive tournament championship, following a similar script to what saw the team win the McGarvey Novice AE Memorial Tournament in Napanee earlier this season. It was once again the story of playing five games without a loss (four wins and a tie in both tournaments) and coming home with the tournament championship from the recent Nepean tournament. While the tournament final in the Napanee tournament saw the Thunder come from behind in the final minutes of the game to win, the final game in this Nepean tournament saw the Thunder trade goals with the Gloucester Cougars before taking control of the game late in the
third period and emerging with a hard fought 5-2 victory. The first period in this Stittsville Thunder/Gloucester Cougars tournament final ended with the score 0-0, a real goaltenders battle. Nicholas Milbury of the Thunder opened the scoring mid-way through the second period when he scored on a breakaway, going top shelf over the goalie’s glove. It was 1-0 for the Thunder going into the third period. Gloucester tied up the game 1-1 half way through the period but it took the Thunder only 23 seconds to regain the lead 2-1. Gloucester, though, did not give up and scored again to tie up the game 2-2. But the Thunder came back, this time only 27 seconds later, to regain the lead 3-2. The Thunder then took control of the game late in the third period, scoring two more unanswered goals and winning by a 5-2 score, capturing the tournament championship.

Bringing home silver medals from Woodstock Special to the News
Submitted
Members of the Kanata Rangers girls atom hockey team which won silver medals in a recent tournament in Woodstock, ON are, lying at the front, goalie Olivia Nystedt; first row, kneeling, from left, Sophie Ryall, Anika Forward, Emmy Blauer, JT Tonchin, Ryann Smith, Hannah Clarkson and Abby Glandon; second row, standing, from left, Hailey Goddard, Cassidy MacIntosh, Olivia Trahan, Camryn Rose, Payton Ward, Rickie Nixon, Anna King and Rhiannon Eggleton; and, back row, from left, Mike Clarkson, Jay Blauer, Tyler Nystedt and Tracey MacIntosh.
Sports - Six games. Lots of hockey. Some ups and downs on the route to the tournament final. And coming home from Woodstock, ON with silver medals. It was a memorable experience. The Kanata Rangers atom girls hockey team began the recent tournament in Woodstock with a sick goalie. Yes, goalie Olivia Nystedt turned up sick and unable to play. So who would replace her on the on-goalie team? But there was no problem as six players volunteering to play nets for the team. It was decided that Camryn Rose assumed the goalie duties and the team took to the ice. The opponent, Mooretown, was defeated 4-2 after the Rangers jumped out into a 3-0 lead after just six minutes of play. Cassidy MacIntosh, Ryann Smith, Rhiannon Eggleton and JT Tonchin scored for the Rangers in this game. While this scoring was going on, goalie Camryn Rose and the defense corps of Rickie Nixon, Sophie Ryall, Hannah Clarkson and Emmy Blauer kept the Mooretown attack at bay. After this victory over Mooretown, the Rangers went on to face the BCH Ice Stars. It was a closely fought match which ended in a 2-2 tie. Camryn Rose and Anika Forward scored for the Rangers while Olivia Nystedt was back in
nets following her illness. The next game was critical for the Rangers as the Kanata squad needed to win by four goals to secure first place in their pool. It turned out to be no problem, with the Rangers skating to an 8-0 victory. Goal scorers for the Rangers in this game were Anna King, Olivia Trahan, Payton Ward, Abby Glandon and Camryn Rose. In the first round of the playoffs, the Rangers got a scare against the host Woodstock Wildcats. The Rangers scored with less than three minutes left in the third period to tie up the game and send it into overtime. Overtime solved nothing and it was shootout time. Anna King and Camryn Rose scored for the Rangers in this shootout, with goalie Olivia Nystedt doing the rest to seal the victory. In the second round of the playoffs, the Rangers faced the BCH Ice Stars again but this time the Rangers jumped out into a 4-0 lead after the first period and never looked back, winning by a 6-0 score. This victory sent the Rangers into the championship game against the Sarnia Sting. The Rangers played strong, hard and clean hockey but ended up on the short end of a 3-1 score. Nonetheless, the Rangers captured the silver medals – a worthy prize after six games of great hockey.

Councillor looks at coming year
Happenings and events at Stittsville Legion Hall
john.curry@metroland.com
Barb Vant’Slot
News - A Business Improvement Area, traffic signals at Maple Grove Road and Huntmar Drive and a dog park are all on the agenda for city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri for the coming year. Councillor Qadri notes that two previous attempts to create a Business Improvement Area (BIA) in Stittsville have failed but he feels that the time for such an organization may have arrived. A BIA is an organization which involves all of the businesses in a certain area, with the businesses themselves deciding on business improvement projects to be done such as street beautification or “shop locally” campaigns. The BIA receives its funding from a special additional tax levy on the business properties in the identified area covered by the BIA. Councillor Qadri notes that most areas of the city have a BIA looking after business promotion and development in the area covered by the BIA. He says that he will be holding a meeting this year dealing with the possible establishment of a BIA in Stittsville. The intersection of Maple Grove Road and Huntmar Drive in Stittsville met the city of Ottawa’s warrants justifying installation of traffic signals two years ago. But the problem is that Huntmar Drive north of Maple Grove Road needs improvements so that there would be turning lanes for the traffic signals. This requirement to widen Huntmar Drive north of Maple Grove Road to four lanes to accommodate turning lanes transforms this project from a simple installation of traffic signals to a much more expensive undertaking that involves road improvements. There may be a possibility that developers in that area will front end the road improvement expenditures. Councillor Qadri is working with city staff to try to determine how these traffic signals can be installed as soon as possible, even if the turning lanes on Huntmar Drive north of Maple Grove Road are not installed immediately. He says that “the time has come” for these traffic signals to be installed at this Maple Grove Road/ Huntmar Drive intersection. Councillor Qadri also recognizes the need for a dedicated dog park in the Stittsville community. Right now, there is no site dedicated for such a facility. Dog owners are currently using an area in the Fernbank lands south of Abbott Street as a dog walking area but this is privately owned land which would cost the city several million dollars to acquire, if that were even possible.
Councillor Qadri wants to work with development landowners and community partners in trying to determine where a dog park could be established in Stittsville. There has been a suggestion that perhaps a dog park could be established on land at Waste Management’s Carp Road landfill site and that could be an option. Councillor Qadri notes that there is the Trans Canada Trail which can be used for dog walking. The city also will be purchasing the Shea Road Woods, a forested area just east of Shea Road that has been identified as a natural area that should be protected. But whether it could be used as a dog park has not been determined. There is an option of declaring some parks as off-leash dog areas but using parks for such purposes causes problems from conflicting uses taking place in the park. Councillor Qadri admits that there are challenges in establishing a dog park but agrees that the “necessity is there” for such a facility in the community. Another facility that councillor Qadri wants to see in the community is a public high school. He is continuing to work with the public school trustee and the provincial government to try to have such a school located in the Stittsville community. He wants to make sure that the capital priority list which will be submitted to the provincial government by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board includes a public high
Shad Qadri school for Stittsville. There is a site for a public high school that has been identified in the Fernbank lands, although not yet acquired by the school board. Councillor Qadri is looking forward to his responsibilities in the coming year as chair of Ottawa Public Health and also as chair of Crime Prevention Ottawa. As chair of Ottawa Public Health, he will be working with the Medical Officer of Health and others regarding health issues in the community. Crime Prevention Ottawa works towards making neighbourhoods in the city safer. This includes measures to reduce violence against women as well as working to reduce gang violence and generally making communities safer places for everyone. Councillor Qadri also will be involved in a number of city-wide issues in the coming year including the future of Plasco and the investigating the possibility of other waste treatment opportunities such as incineration. He is disappointed that the Plasco initia-
tive has not progressed as it is an Ottawa-based technology that could spread around the world. But he wants to see the city determine some kind of solution on the handling of waste as in his view landfill is not a viable solution for the future. He also realizes that the green bin program is an important tool in reducing reliance on landfill. He acknowledges that the city contract for green bin processing will be coming before council this year in a review of the contract. Councillor Qadri says that he will support keeping any tax increase to two percent but he points out that the Stittsville community does have needs that the city must address such as ever-improving transit service and safer neighbourhood streets. With regard to transit, he wants to see a localized bus service implemented so that residents could easily move around the community for shopping and other services. He also knows that the express routes serving Stittsville are experiencing everincreasing ridership so that the capacity of the service needs constant improvement to meet this demand. Councillor Qadri says that he would support an app-based taxi service in the city but that such a service has to be regulated so that it is a safe service for people. He believes that the time has come for such an appbased service but any such initiative must have control provisions so that it is safe for people to use.

Munster students relocated? Around Richmond John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - With a new Early French Immersion program deemed not feasible and with worries that existing enrolment could continue to decline, Ottawa Carleton District School Board staff is recommending that current students at Munster Elementary School be relocated to other schools as of this coming September. These students would be given a one-time option to attend either A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville or Richmond Public School in Richmond for the 2015-2016 school year. This is being done to allow families to keep siblings together. In addition, current Munster Elementary School students living north of Fallowfield Road will have the one-time option of attending Goulbourn Middle School for grade six this fall. Following this initial one-time option, students who would have found themselves in the Munster Elementary School attendance area will be directed to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School for those living north of Fallowfield Road and will be directed to Richmond Public School for those living south of Fallowfield Road including Munster Hamlet itself. Goulbourn Middle School will continue to be the grade six to eight school for those living south of Fallowfield Road. Along with these recommendations, staff is recommending that the Munster Elementary School building continue to be open and available to the public and community for the 2015-2016 school year since the school facility is well used by the community. The long term future of Munster Elementary School will be determined by an accommodation review committee process that operates under provincial guidelines. The scope and time lines related to such an accommodation review have not yet been determined. This whole process reviewing the future of Munster Elementary School that was undertaken by the Ottawa Carleton District School Board began with the anticipation that the introduction of a new Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School would be possible and would grow enrolment over time. However, input from those involved with the process led to a reduced boundary for this Early French Immersion program, resulting in an enrolment number of only 31 students from Senior Kindergarten to grade five. Such a number would make an Early French Immersion program not viable. That’s why Board staff decided against recommending the introduction of such an Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School. In addition, Board staff developed a concern about enrolment at Munster Elementary School in the 2015-2016
school year if the school remained only a JK to grade five single-track English program school. Board feared that enrolment would continue to decline and be even lower than the forecasted 54 students. Board staff feels that taking action now and relocating the students in a planned manner would be better than dealing with ever declining enrolment and the possibility that emergency action might be necessary, creating a higher degree of disruption for students, families and school staff than a planned re-distribution of the students. Munster Elementary School’s student population has been declining steadily in recent years. In 2005, the school’s enrolment was 191 students but as of last October, enrolment was 58 students. Last April Board staff was directed to conduct a study and consultation regarding the possible introduction of an Early French Immersion program at the school in Sept. 2015, changing the school from a single-track English program to school to a dual track school and thereby increasing enrolment at the facility. The study and consultation process began last September and included a locally-formed working group of school and community association representatives. Four options were developed and presented at a public meeting last December. These options included introducing a new Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School; retaining the status quo at the school; relocating Munster Elementary School students to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville; and relocating Munster Elementary School students to either A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School or Richmond Public School. A public consultation meeting held in Munster in early December, attended by about 150 people, resulted in feedback and input about the proposed options. Comments made at the meeting generally fell under one of three themes: the viability of a new Early French Immersion program, the impact of low enrolment upon student experience at the school, and community use for the school facility in the future if it was not being used as a school. A report outlining the Board staff’s recommendation regarding the future of Munster Elementary School is being discussed at a Committee of the Whole meeting at the Board office this week. It is expected that a decision on the matter will be made by the Board of Trustees at a meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 17.

Hydrogeological and geotechnical study required for 6279 Fernbank Road Development applications were submitted in 2013 for the land at 6279 Fernbank Road for a residential subdivision consisting of 59 lots for single detached dwellings and 81 street townhouse units, as well as streets, walkways blocks and open space. This site is located on the north side of Fernbank, east of West Ridge and west of the Stittsville United Church. The applicant made an appeal to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) against the City on the zoning application for this property with the reason that there has been a “lack of decision within 180 days” of the application process. However, the City requested addition information from the applicant that was not provided, and therefore the City could not be in the position to properly review the applications. This matter will go before the OMB in the April this year. There is a requirement for additional hydrogeological and geotechnical information for the proposed development. In order to provide the information it is necessary to undertake fieldwork which involves the construction of test pads, digging test pits, and drilling boreholes. To accommodate this work some tree removal is required. Therefore, Thomas Cavanagh Construction Limited acting as agent/ property manager for the owner of the subject property has received a permit to remove trees in accordance with City Bylaw 2009-200. Tree Permit is associated with City File Number D06-01-14-0182. I have secured to have a City Forester will be visiting the site on a daily basis to ensure all action undertaken is following the permit and City guidelines.

I, along with Councillors Chiarelli, Harder, Hubley, El-Chantiry, Wilkinson, Egli, and Taylor, am asking residents to donate $30 per household to help raise $1.5 million for a new elderly care unit at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. The provincial government has pledged $8.8 million in funding, but the hospital needs an additional $3 million. The goal is to raise a large part of the donations by December 2015. The hospital has also launched its own fundraising campaign for the remaining funds needed. Ontario’s population of seniors aged 65 and older is expected to double over the next 20 years. The new acute care of the elderly unit will have 34 beds, a communal dining area and will offer comprehensive geriatric care for the city’s aging population. As the Queensway Carleton hospital is our West End hospital, this is a direct benefit for the Stittsville community. There is a high elderly population among the community who would find this facility extremely useful, and it is important that we all support each other. The unit will focus on older patients with a number of health conditions and will provide services to help them remain mobile and independent. If you would like to donate to the Hospital, you may do so at: http:// www.qchfoundation.ca/counicllors-initiate-grassroots-fundraisingcampaign-for-qch-nepean-strong/

the Canadian/American group “The Band” that became more of a hit when covered by Jackie DeShannon in 1968 and Diana Ross and The Supremes with The Temptations in 1969. Since then it, has been covered by many singers ranging from Waylon Jennings to Aretha Franklin to John Denver to Dionne Warwick to Bruce Springsteen. TheOtherKROW also sang “Walk of Life,” a 1985 single with a rock and roll rhythm by the British rock band Dire Straits; “Margaritaville,” Jimmy Buffett’s 1977 hit; and Billy Joel’s “You May Be Right,” from his 1980 album “Glass Houses.” TheOtherKROW has performed at all three open mic music nights so far in Richmond. Tim Burns of Stittsville sang a number of his own songs as well as some cover songs in his performance at last Friday’s open mic music night. He accompanied himself on the guitar and even on the harmonica as well for one of the songs. After opening with several of his own songs like “Wing and a Prayer” about taking a leap of faith, “Leave The Road” about coming home to his family after time on the road as a trucker and “He Did It Again” about drinking, Tim sang “Long May Your Run,” a single from a 1976 Stills and Young album, and “You Never Even Called Me By My Name,” a musical spoof on country music lyrics written and recorded initially by Steve Goodman and John Prime, both American singers and songwriters, but a song which reached its greatest fame from country music singer David Allan Coe’s 1974 version which was a top ten hit. Tim rounded out his performance with his rendition of “The Dutchman,” a 1968 song about true love and two people growing old together popularized by Steve Goodman in 1968 which subsequently has been covered by artists such as Suzy Bogguss, The New Kingston Trio, Celtic Thunder and Jerry Jeff Walker, the American country singer who is best known for his hit “Mr. Bojangles.” See MUSIC NIGHT, page 31

Music night in Richmond
If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
We have been married for the last 25 years but don’t have any children. Do we need a will, or would everything just go to the surviving spouse anyway?
Continued from page 30
Singer Allison Stanton did a couple of songs backed up by guitars including “Time After Time,” which was Cyndi Lauper’s first hit song in the United States in 1984. She also provided backup vocals when Andrew McKim switched from backing up her on guitar to being a lead vocalist himself. Andrew McKim started these Friday open mic nights back in November in the hope that they would become a monthly happening. His idea was to bring together local musicians in an open and fun atmosphere to play music before an appreciative audience. This is what has happened. The next free acoustic open mic music night will be held on Friday, Feb. 20 in the upstairs lounge at the Richmond Curling Club on Perth Street. These open mic sessions run from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. People can be there at 8 p.m. or can drop in at any time throughout the evening and hear some great music or even perform themselves. After all, it’s an “open mic.” Don’t forget to take along a donation of a non-perishable item for the Richmond Food Bank. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of music provided by an assortment of musicians and singers. It’s a chance to hear your friends and neighbours perform while enjoying an evening of entertainment that is free and happening right in Richmond. For more information, please email acoustic. in.richmond@gmail.com.
Yes, you do need a will. If you don’t have any children, under the statutory distribution scheme for individuals that die without a will, your spouse would receive your entire estate. However, you should still have a will for at least two reasons: 1. Appointing an executor of your estate; and 2. Making instructions for the distribution of your estate in the event that you’re predeceased by your spouse.
1. Appointment of an executor of your estate.
The executor named in a will has the legal authority to take possession of all your assets, do your final income tax returns, and deal with banks and government institutions. If you don’t have a will, a court would have to appoint an executor of your estate to deal with any assets that were not jointly owned, as well as any registered investments that did not have a named beneficiary. The process of appointing an executor usually takes few months, so in addition to incurring unnecessary costs, there will be an extended delay during which your spouse will not have access to the assets in your estate. In my experience, some financial institutions will waive a probate requirement if
your spouse is the named executor and the only beneficiary of your estate, which could provide your spouse with ready access to some assets shortly after your death.
2. Distribution of your estate if you survive your spouse.
By having a will in place, you will make sure that your estate is distributed the way you want it to be in the event that your spouse passes away shortly before you, or in the event that you are unable to make a will after your spouse’s death. Under the statutory distribution scheme, if you don’t have a spouse nor children, your estate would go to your parents. Alternatively, if your parents are deceased, your estate would go to your siblings. This may not be your wish. For example you might want to leave part of your estate to your spouse’s family, or you may wish to skip your parents and siblings and distribute the estate among your and your spouse’s nieces and nephews, or make gifts to a charity or charities. No matter which option you choose, having a will can provide the peace of mind of knowing that your estate will be distributed according to your wishes.

Win/win situation at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - It’s a win/win situation involving Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and students in the Bridge program at Sacred Heart Catholic High School. It all involves the long time support of Todd Brown, owner of Brown’s YIG, and his staff for the co-op placement program involving the Bridge program students. The Bridge program involves students with physical and developmental challenges. Mr. Brown welcomes these students to his business and through his facilitation and mentorship and that of his staff, the students gain important life and work skills that will help them be contributing members of the community in the future. The co-op placements for Bridge program students at Brown’s YIG have even led to employment for the students either there or in other businesses upon graduation. For the current semester, Brown’s YIG has three Bridge students on co-op placement in the store. They work at the store one hour a day three times a week, being transported to and from Brown’s YIG by school bus. Brown’s YIG has had up to six Bridge students on co-op placement in the store during some semesters. It all depends on the number of Bridge students seeking a co-op placement and other placements available such as at Tim Hortons and Hurley’s Pub. Brown’s YIG has been involved in the co-op placement program for Bridge program students since the year after the store opened in 2003. This has amounted to a lot of students over the years, Mr. Brown says, noting that a number of them have subsequently been hired as paid staff. He says that the students fit in well at the store and seem to

enjoy working there. He says that pretty much every department in the store has hosted a Bridge program student at some time or other. The co-op students are provided with staff uniforms and work alongside regular staff. They are part of our team, Mr. Brown says. He notes that customers are very supportive of the store being involved in the co-op program and are happy to see the store giving back to the community by providing these opportunities for the students. The three Bridge program students currently on co-op placement at Brown’s YIG are Julian Lafleur, Corynne Adamson and Olivia Keys. Olivia is working in the store’s bakery department where she helps bakery manager Margo Lahey package cookies, among other tasks. Olivia says that she likes her co-op placement at Brown’s YIG because she gets to do something different every day. She feels that she is gaining good experience for when she seeks permanent employment in the future. Julian Lafleur has been doing co-op at Brown’s YIG for three years now, stocking shelves. He works with grocery clerk Andy Mason whom Mr. Brown praises for his mentorship of students like Julian. Corynne Adamson, who has been on co-op at Brown’s YIG since September, is working at a check-out cash with regular cashier Allison Hughes. She enjoys meeting all of the people as they pass through the check-out area. Sacred Heart Catholic High School teacher Jennifer Klatt, who is one of those looking after the Bridge program’s co-op placements, says that the co-op program allows the students to learn skills that they will need in the workplace when they complete their schooling. She notes that the staff at Brown’s YIG work well with the students, showing patience with
them as they learn and giving them guidance in their jobs. She also notes that customers are also very accommodating and recognize the students’ efforts. Ms. Klatt says that back at the school, the staff and students talk about how the co-op placement went that day for the student. She points out that a co-op placement at Brown’s YIG or elsewhere is also important for
the parents of the students as they see that their child is able to develop skills that will make them employable once they are finished with school. She notes that employee evaluation reports for the co-op placement students are filled with positive remarks. See STUDENTS, page 34

Students love co-op placements at Brown’s YIG Continued from page 33
Ms. Klatt also notes that co-op placements, whether at Brown’s YIG or elsewhere, allow the Bridge program students to learn skills that they will need in the future, whether it is dealing with customers or working at other tasks. She says that the Bridge program students love what they do when they are at Brown’s YIG on a co-op placement and they all want to be good workers while there. She says that the students take pride in what they are doing and want to be good at their jobs, just like those who are mentoring them. She says that they are always eager to learn. Ms. Klatt says that the co-op program is important to the Bridge program because the school wants the Bridge program students to
be part of the community and to be visible in the community. She says that these students, although facing challenges in their lives, have a lot of skills and it is good when these can be seen by those in the community. Sacred Heart Catholic High School teacher Jane McNorgan, who is also involved with the Bridge program’s co-op placements, notes that the co-op program is a partnership between the school and the community. She said that the co-op program needs the community support such as that shown by Brown’s YIG. She says that the co-op program is important as well for the parents of Bridge program students as it helps them realize that their children will be employable in the future. It lets them see success in the future for their children.

Stittsville Village Association appoints new vice-president Special to the News
News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has a new vice-president but it’s not a new face around the SVA decision table. That’s because the new SVA vice-president is Phil Sweetnam who has just completed his term as SVA president. The need for the SVA to enlist a new vice-president came about as a result of Ayah Stretch stepping down from
the position due to other commitments. So, at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 8, the SVA executive agreed to appoint Mr. Sweetnam to fill this vice-president position in addition to being the group’s immediate past president. Ms. Stretch was also the SVA director looking after planning matters which included monitoring planning developments in Stittsville
and formulating input from the SVA to the city of Ottawa on these planning matters. These planning duties will be assumed by a number of SVA directors depending on their areas of interest and residency. Ms. Stretch had taken over looking after planning matters after the retirement of David Jenkins from the SVA executive. Mr. Jenkins had done this planning role for the SVA for years.
Historical Society looking for Board members Special to the News
News - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is looking for a person or persons interested in being on its Board of Directors. The Society is looking for people who are willing to committee to attending a Board

44 teams play in Oldtimers Hockey Tournament Special to the News
Sports - Forty-four teams. Seven divisions including two for ladies teams. Four days of hockey involving a total of 70 hours of rented ice time at four different arenas. This was the 2015 Laidlaw Rangers Oldtimers Hockey Tournament which was held from Thursday, Jan. 8 through Sunday, Jan. 11. Most of the games were held at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and the Goulbourn Recreation Complex’s Matt Bradley Arena with a few games played at the Bell Sensplex and the Kanata Recreation Complex in Kanata. Among the teams were teams from Shawville, Brockville, Westport, Huntsville, Nepean, Navan, Osgoode, Carleton Place, Arn-
prior, Belleville, Casselman, Gatineau, Pembroke, Cornwall, Kanata, Embrun, Barrhaven and Kingston. Altogether, there were 44 teams which played in seven divisions including an open division (eight teams), 65 and over (five teams), 60 and over (three teams) , 55 and over (eight teams), 40 and over (eight teams), ladies competitive (eight teams) and ladies recreational (four teams). Teams in the older divisions played during the day on Thursday, Jan. 8 and Friday, Jan. 9 with the teams in the “younger” divisions played in the evenings. The finals for the older divisions were held on Saturday morning, Jan. 10 while the finals for the younger divisions took place on Sunday, Jan. 11.
There were four divisions with eight teams in them so thay had an “A” and “B” side. The other divisions used a “points” format resulting in a champion and runner-up. The 40 and over division was a little different in that it had “A” and “B” sides with the winner of the “A” side playing the winner of the “B” side for the championship. One player from Kingston, Robert Thorneycroft, had a close connection with Stittsville as his parents Joan and Ken Thorneycroft were
longtime Stittsville residents. His mother, the late Joan Thorneycroft, was instrumental in the founding of the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA) thanks to her generous financial contribution. His father Ken, who now lives in Almonte, was at the tournament to cheer on his son. Another player, the goalie on the Huntsville team, is the recipient of a heart transplant. See OLDTIMERS, page 39
Are you the... As the concept of family evolves in our community, so does the definition of a foster parent. Foster parents come from a variety of different backgrounds that reflect the diversity of the children who need our care. One thing we know from talking to foster parents is that most people become foster parents after hearing first hand of another foster parent's experience. It's a great message, and shows how rewarding fostering can be for parents and children alike.

“Fostering has enriched us and our children in ways we could not imagine it would,” says one couple who have been fostering for 15 years. “It's the greatest thing we have ever done as a whole family,” adds another family, who have biological children as well. “If you are a person on this earth, you can do it! It's not about us; it's about the children we can help. I wish everyone could foster for one year so that children in need would never have to look for a family.” For information about foster care, please contact the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa at 613-742-1620 ext. 1 or visit www.casott.on.ca.

Sacred Heart grads playing for Clarkson John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sports - Two Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduates are playing for the Clarkson University Golden Knights women’s hockey team this season. Katelyn Fournier and Amanda Titus are both forwards for the Golden Knights which is an NCAA Division 1 team that is currently ranked No. 8 in the United States in the latest United States College Hockey Online (USCHO) poll. Both are freshmen with the team which plays in the ECAC conference which is one of the NCAA Division 1 hockey conferences in the United States. The conference was at one time associated with the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) but all that remains of this association is the ECAC name. Both Katelyn and Amanda formerly played with the Ottawa Senators of the Provincial Women’s Hockey League. The five foot, seven inch Katelyn so far this season, up to January, has played in all of the team’s 19 games, picking up three assists. She wears jersey number 24 for the Golden Knights. Amanda, who is five foot,
six inches tall, wears jersey number 15 for the Golden Knights. In 19 games up to January this season, she has scored three goals and has added two assists. Katelyn and Amanda are the only two players on the Golden Knights team from the Ottawa area. Other players come from across North America including Minnesota, British Columbia, Illinois, Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Ontario. The Clarkson University Golden Knights play their home games at the 3,000 seat Cheel Arena on the campus of the university in Potsdam, N.Y. So far this season, going into January, the Golden Knights women’s hockey team has compiled a record of 12 wins, six losses and one tie. In ECAC conference play, the team has six wins, two losses and one tie. This is good for second place in the 12-team conference, just one point behind the leading Quinnipiac University (Connecticut) team. Other teams in the conference are Harvard, St. Lawrence, Cornell, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, Colgate, Rensselaer and Union. The Golden Knights women’s team has played in the
NCAA Division 1 since the 2003-2004 season. Clarkson University, located in Potsdam, N.Y., has a student enrolment of over 3,800 undergraduate and graduate students pursuing degrees in over 50 academic programs of study. The students come from 46 states and 52 countries. Clarkson University was founded in 1896 as a memorial to Thomas S. Clarkson, a successful entrepreneur and northern New York businessman. His three sisters established it by building and endowing an institution that would educate talented and motivated students to become successful professionals. Clarkson’s original motto “A Workman That Needeth Not To Be Ashamed” is taken from Thomas Clarkson’s favourite biblical verse. Clarkson University began as the Thomas S. Clarkson Memorial School of Technology and in 1913 its name was changed to the Thomas S. Clarkson Memorial College of Technology. In 1984, it became Clarkson University. Clarkson University is located in Potsdam, N.Y., a 9,500 population community adjacent to the six million acre Adirondack Park. The Clarkson University campus extends over 640 acres.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - It had snowed heavily through the night. The new snow would be just perfect for the big wagon wheel the senior boys at the school would stamp out, creating a winter pastime every one of us loved, but I had trouble getting the hang of. One path would lead to the wagon wheel, and you dare not put a foot off the path until you reached a starting point. I never could figure out the real object of the game, but my friend Velma said it was the same as a game of tag. You had to run around the rim of the wheel, being chased by the leader. You could use one of the stamped out spokes, and if you were lucky, you reached the hub, and then you became the chaser. Of course, we younger girls didn’t have a chance in Hades of ever reaching the hub, but we ran like we were possessed nonetheless. Teacher Miss Crosby, in a stroke of good humour, excused Emerson and Cecil long before recess so they

could go out and stamp out the wheel in the new snow. They came in just as the rest of the pupils were told they could get on their winter garb and go outside. Our recess back then was only 15 minutes long, but that was time enough for all of us to have a quick run around the wheel, with the promise from Cecil that we would get down to a more serious game when it came lunch time. Finally, the big CPR clock at the front of the room told it was lunchtime. We ate up in a hurry, because we couldn’t wait to get outside to the wheel in the snow. Cecil and Emerson were the first to head out the door, and the roars we heard from outside could be witnessed over in Admaston. When Velma and I finally managed to pile on the layers of winter clothes we wore at that time of year, and get out onto the front step, there was Cecil’s big Collie dog, sitting in the middle of the wheel like he owned the school yard.
It was obvious he had had a good run first. He had followed the scent of his owner round and round, and he came to rest on the hub, and you couldn’t tell where the spokes ended and the rim began. The snow game had been ruined. It wasn’t unusual for Cecil’s old Collie to appear at the Northcote School. Often we would come out of the school, and see him sitting on the step waiting for Cecil. As far as Cecil was concerned Sport could do no wrong. Well, that day Sport’s owner was not at all pleased. But instead of going out to the gate by the path when ordered to “git,� Sport took another cut around the yard, with his belly close to the ground, and whatever was left of the big wheel in the snow was gone forever. I wasn’t too disappointed in the turn of events, because I couldn’t run fast enough through the deep snow to avoid being caught, and all the time we played the game, I never once was the chaser in snow tag.

Over $5,000 raised in silent auction Special to the News
Sports - The Bell Warriors Football Club banquets on Saturday, Jan. 10 not only saw individual players honoured for outstanding achievements but also was a major fundraising event for the organization through the holding of silent auctions at both of the banquets. The banquets, held at the Cedarview Golf and Country Club in Nepean, were for the tyke and mosquito teams around noon and then for the pee wee and bantam teams in the early evening. There was a silent auction held in conjunction with each banquet. They ended up raising over $5,000 which will go directly towards purchasing new football equipment for Bell Warriors players. This was the third year that the Bell Warriors has held silent auctions in conjunction with its year-end awards banquets for the teams. A total of about $15,000 has been raised over the three years from these silent auctions. This amount covers the purchase of over 40 new helmets for Warriors players. The silent auctions are so
successful thanks to the generosity of local businesses and companies and supporters. The Bell Warriors Football Club thanks the following donors to these silent auctions at the Jan. 10 team banquets: Battle River Bison Company (Richard Allan, Perth), Canadian Tire (Bells Corners), Chapeski Automotive (Ottawa), Don Cherry’s Pub (Eagleson Road), Gary Barnes and Brigitte Mainville (Gatineau), Giant Tiger (Stittsville), Glenn Kulka and Sculpt Conditioning (Stittsville), Holiday Inn Express & Suites (Nepean), Jerome – Photographer (Ottawa), Karters Korner (Stittsville), Keenan Sports Photography (Wanda Keenan – Stittsville), King’s Your Independent Grocer (Richmond), Lapointe’s Fish (Bells Corners), Local Heroes (Bells Corners), Melinda McNulty (Nepean), Michael Polito (Stittsville), Mr. Lube (Bells Corners), NCAF Films, Ottawa RedBlacks, Ottawa Valley Kitchens (Richmond), Pepsi (Ottawa), Randall’s Interiors (Bells Corners), Richard & Natasha Baylin (Nepean), Riddell Sports (Andy McArdle – Arnprior), Rona (Stittsville), Rudy’s Barber

Style (Hazeldean Road), S * S Auto Centre (Richmond), Sens Foundation (Danielle Robinson), Starbucks (Bells Corners), Steve and Lorelei Scott, The Brew Table (Bells Corners), The Electrical and Plumbing Store (Bells Corners), The Keenan family (Stittsville), The Sheahan Family (Nepean), TMSI and Yasmin Fues (Royal Lepage). The Bell Warriors fields four tackle football teams (tyke ages 8-10, mosquito ages 11-12, pee wee ages 13-14 and bantam ages 15-16), four girls’ spring touch football teams and also winter conditioning sessions. The Bell Warriors relies heavily on community support to offer its football programs. Less than 50 percent of the organization’s operating revenues come from player fees. Team sponsors who help make the Bell Warriors program possible are as follows: Gold Sponsors – Scotiabank (Richmond), Primo Self Storage, Ontario Iron Works, The Glen Scottish Restaurant & Pub (Stittsville) and Ottawa Valley Kitchens (Richmond); Play Ball Sponsors – RCMP Officer’s Mess, Yasmin Fues (Royal Lepage) and Clarington Investments; Bronze Sponsor – Metroland Media. The Bell Warriors Football Club is dedicated to player safety. One of its primary goals is to continually upgrade its football equipment including re-conditioning existing equipment. Each year the Bell Warriors Football Club purchases $35,000 worth of new equipment for players as the Club supplies all of the equipment players need to play tackle football. But while the Bell Warriors are committed to upgrading equipment, the organization also wants to keep player fees as affordable as possible. Achieving this is a constant challenge which is why fundraising initiatives such as the silent auctions at the team year-end banquets are so important to the organization. The Bell Warriors have been offering its football programs for youth since 1955. Currently over 50 volunteers provide over 5,000 hours of volunteer time each year to help support the Bell Warriors Football Club.

the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje in located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has partnered with the community of Seje on several projects already thanks to various previous fundraisers and support from sponsors. A school for orphans has been started, providing quality education, food and health services for orphans. A water system that draws water
from a nearby river was built. The system filters and chlorinates the water and then pumps it up a hill into a storage container. The system is solar powered and has distribution lines to sites such as the school. Those in the Seje community volunteered their time to dig over two kilometers of trenches through dry, rocky ground to install this water system. Ten dilapidated huts have been rebuilt. These are the homes of those who are sick or elderly and could not do it themselves. A community centre that serves multiple purposes such as meetings and events has been built. The Community Bible Church/ Seje partnership has also provided funding to support emergency health needs.
