News - He grew up in Munster and now he will be responsible for providing healthy and nutritious meals to Canada’s athletes at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Yes, Tim Wasylko, the now 41 year old son of Pat and Bill Wasylko of Munster, has come a long way since his youth in Munster and his days attending Munster Elementary School, St. Philip Catholic School and South Carleton High School. He has now been contracted to be the Executive Chef at Canada House in the Canadian Pavilion at the Sochi Olympics, in charge of providing meals to Canada’s Winter Olympic athletes. This means ensuring the preparation of about 2,500 meals every six hours every day of the Olympics. Tim was stunned but also very pleased and honoured to be offered this position at the Olympics and he jumped at the chance to be at

the Olympics. He will be leaving for the Olympics this coming Monday, Jan. 27 and will have lots to do when he gets there to ensure everything is ready at Canada House when the athletes arrive. He already has hired 50 Russian-speaking staff and still has some English-speaking staff to hire. He himself picks up foreign languages fairly easy so he is sure that he will come back being able to speak Russian. His Ukrainian heritage may help as the two languages are similar. Tim, who has two brothers, Warren and Steve and a sister, Wendy, backpacked around Australia for about a year after graduating from South Carleton High School. He then did the same thing in Canada before deciding to attend Algonquin College where he earned his Red Seal Chef’s papers. See EXECUTIVE CHEF, page 9

Madison Refausse entertains Special to the News

News - The voice of up and coming Stittsville singer Madison Refausse filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening, Jan. 17. The voice of this 13 year old filled the coffee shop not only acoustically but also peoplewise as the shop was packed to hear her musical offerings.

And well they should have packed the place as Madison has quite a record of accomplishments already in her young performance career. Last fall she was a winner in the youth talent competition at the Richmond Fair. Last December she sang “O Canada” at the opening of an Ottawa 67s hockey game against the Oshawa Generals at the Canadian Tire Centre. And

This photo of the former Dr. Ken Hartin home on Perth Street in Richmond was taken by Akhir Alibhai of Richmond who won first place in the youth section in the 2013 Heritage Photo competition organized by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Concerns about the upkeep of this historic stone house were expressed at last Saturday’s annual general meeting of the Historical Society.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

The Bradley/Craig farm home at 590 Hazeldean Road across from the Grant Crossing shopping area is a designated heritage structure but concerns are being expressed about its maintenance and its future. The house was built about 1873, reflecting a Gothic Revival style. The adjacent red barn, also an object of concern regarding deterioration, was built in the early 1870’s.

Concerns expressed about three historic structures John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Concern for the future of three historic buildings emerged at last Saturday’s annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. The three buildings are the house and red barn at the Bradley/Craig farmstead on Hazeldean Road across from the Grant Crossing shopping area in Stittsville and the stone former home of Dr. Ken Hartin on Perth Street in Richmond. The properties on which these buildings sit have been purchased by developers and the concerns raised at the Historical Society annual general meeting revolved around the deterioration or possible deterioration of these buildings. Historical Society member Margaret Bryan wondered whey there was not a heritage plaque at the Bradley/ Craig farmstead since it is a desig-

nated heritage site. She pointed out that the Bradley/ Craig farmstead highlights the Hazeldean Road entrance to Stittsville, calling both the house and nearby barn “gorgeous� structures. She called them “cherished buildings� that should not be lost. Historical Society member Joan Darby commented that the barn is almost more important as a heritage structure than the brick house, noting that the condition of the barn is not being kept up by the current developer owner. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was in attendance at the meeting, said that the city has communicated with the owner, stating that the barn must be maintained and not allowed to become derelict. He said that hopefully some action on improving the barn, perhaps with painting and fixing some of its wooden boards, will be undertaken this coming spring.

Mrs. Bryan wondered whether there was a smoke alarm installed in the barn. Councillor Qadri replied that the city cannot force a property owner to install such a smoke alarm in the barn. All the city can do is to insist that the barn be maintained, he said. Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell suggested that the Historical Society as an organization would write to the developer to urge that the property be maintained, noting that “moral suasion� could be effective. Mrs. Darby also brought up the situation related to the former Dr. Ken Hartin stone house on Perth Street in Richmond which is sitting vacant after its sale to a development firm. She expressed concern about vandalism and deterioration. Mike Bryan said that with more and more development taking place in the area, it is up to the Historical Society to serve as a watchdog and

keep an eye on the area’s heritage properties. He said that usually a developer is more interested in the value of the land on which a heritage building sits than on the heritage building itself. He suggested that the Historical Society needs to work more with developers to convince them of the marketing value of heritage structures. These concerns about the Bradley/ Craig farmstead on Hazeldean Road and about the former Hartin home in Richmond came up in the context of remarks about the future of two other historic structures in the area, the former Bradley’s General Store on Stittsville Main Street which was severely damaged by fire last September and the Boyd house, a stone farmhouse on Huntmar Drive just north of the Fairwinds development. The city of Ottawa’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 16 put off a decision

on allowing a demolition permit for the Bradley’s General Store structure pending more information regarding the cost of the building’s renovation. The matter was put off until a future meeting on Thursday, Feb. 13. Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell not only wrote to the committee regarding the future of the building but also spoke at the Jan. 16 meeting, questioning the building’s demolition. The stone Boyd farmhouse on Huntmar Drive saw the city come to its protection recently, bringing about an agreement with the landowner that the building would be maintained and that the city would receive advance notice of any attempt to seek its demolition. Glen Gower, the current interim president of the Fairwinds Community Association, took an interest in the Boyd farmhouse situation, posting information about the house and its history on social media.

News - Development of a new logo for the Goulbourn Township Historical Society happened in 2013. This logo can now be seen on the new service club and community organizations billboards set up by the city of Ottawa at various roadway locations in Stittsville. The year 2013 also saw the Historical Society host a number of meetings featuring guest speakers as well as set up seven public exhibitions at various community events. The Historical Society also participated in the Richmond Fair parade and the Richmond Santa Claus parade. A major project in 2013 was the unveiling of a plaque commemorating the Methodist/Mapledene camp-

grounds in Stittsville as well as the Holiness Movement Church. Having such a commemorative plaque was suggested by Society member Lillian Hobbs at the last annual general meeting and the Board of Directors took up the suggestion and planned the project. Much of the work on the project was done by Reta HolmesDesmarais and John Desmarais who did a lot of the work involved in the project. Reta grew up in Richmond and attended the camp. She and her husband John did much of the background research and helped prepare the displays at the unveiling ceremony in August. In addition, John wrote a souvenir booklet which was handed out that

Shoppers Drug Mart donates $5,420 to Chrysalis House John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Chrysalis House, an emergency shelter for abused women and their children, has received a donation of $5,420 from two Shoppers Drug Mart stores – one in Stittsville and one in Kanata. Both are owned by pharmacist Ghada Gabr. One is the Shoppers Drug Mart at the Food Basics/Toys ‘R Us shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive in Stittsville while the other is on Klondike Road near March Road in Kanata. The funds were raised through fundraising efforts in the four-week long “Tree of Life” campaign held at these two stores. The campaign, which involves all Shoppers Drug Mart stores in Canada, ran from Sept. 14 to Oct. 11. While national in scope, this “Tree of Life” charity fundraising campaign is locally oriented insofar as each individual store chooses a charity related to women’s health that it wants to support. In the case of these two Shoppers Drug Mart stores owned by Ghada Gabr,

Chrysalis House was chosen as the recipient of the funds raised. The funds were raised by events such as a BBQ and a bake sale, as well as accepting donations at the cashier where customers could purchase either a leaf ($1 donation), acorn ($5 donation), butterfly ($10 donation) or cardinal ($50 donation). Symbols for each of these individual donations were displayed in the store windows during the course of the “Tree of Life” campaign. The funds raised, $5,420, were presented to Cathy Jordan, executive director of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, in a brief presentation ceremony at the Stittsville store on Wednesday, Jan. 15. Chrysalis House operates under the jurisdiction of the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. Owner Ghada Gabr and her staff are all strong supporters of Chrysalis House and its role in the community. That’s why they selected Chrysalis House as the recipient for the funds raised in the “Tree of Life” campaign last September and October. The annual Tree of Life campaign of Shop-

pers Drug Mart provides customers and others with the opportunity to donate to help an organization that makes a difference to women’s health in the local community. For these two Shoppers Drug Mart stores owned by Ghada Gabr, the recipient of the funds raised is Chrysalis House, an emergency shelter for abused women and their children.

Over the past 11 years, the Tree of Life campaign of Shoppers Drug Mart has raised over $20 million for organizations involved with women’s health. In 2012 alone, a total of 450 local women’s health organizations were supported by the campaign. Each store selects a women’s health organization to support.

News - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is going to stick with its decision not to have corporate memberships. A review of this decision by Society member Phil Sweetnam has backed up this decision. He reported at the Society’s annual general meeting last Saturday that support for the Society generally comes through personal support and not through corporate support. Society president Barbara Bottriell indicated that the Board of Directors is satisfied with the status quo in which the Society does not have corporate sponsorships but does seek out sponsors for particular events or projects as required.

News - The landmark Bradley’s General Store building on Stittsville Main Street remains standing – for now. At its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 16, Ottawa city council’s Built Heritage SubCommittee deferred making a decision on an application by the owner to demolish the Stittsville building, gaining the owner’s permission to extend the 90-day period for making a decision on the demolition application so that matter could be dealt with at the Sub-Committee’s Feb. 13 meeting. The Sub-Committee wanted the deferral to give committee members and staff more time to examine alternatives to demolition such as saving the building’s fascade and also hopefully to have the engineer who compiled a report on the structural integrity of the fire-damaged building in attendance at the next meeting so that questions could be asked related to the report. The engineer was not present at the Thursday, Jan. 16 meeting. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who sat in at the meeting although not a formal member of the SubCommittee, thanked everyone for allowing more time to deal with this issue. However, he stressed that an important issue for the Stittsville community is that the building not sit in its current fire-damaged condition for the next six to eight or more years. A little earlier in the meeting, city of Ottawa heritage planner Sally Coutts advised that if demolition of the building is prohibited, it could sit in a boarded-up state for the next ten years, for example.

However, she also said that the building also could be renovated if the demolition were turned down. She noted that the city cannot require that the fire-damaged building be renovated, adding that the owner could choose not to do anything with the structure, leaving it as it is now. At the meeting, city staff had recommended that the application to demolish the structure be approved, both because of the significant amount of work that would be required to rebuild the structure as pointed out in an engineer’s report about the building and also because of the significant amount of historical materials associated with the building that was lost in the Sept. 9 fire. This building, which housed Bradley’s General Store for four decades until the 1960’s, was designed as a heritage structure in 1986. Built in the 1870’s as a hotel, the building was undergoing renovations at the time of the Sept. fire, preparing it to be a restaurant pub. There was an apartment and a dental clinic on the second floor at the time of the fire. A building condition assessment by a qualified engineer, as ordered by the city’s chief building officer, gave two options: demolition or a renovation/rebuild that would require the masonry walls to be rebuilt and a number of internal deficiencies rectified. Speaking to the Sub-Committee, George Neville, president of the Historical Society of Ottawa but speaking as an individual, expressed doubts about the engineer’s report since the building seems to be standing in a stable fashion currently. “That building is quite stable – it’s standing there,” he said, adding that an imagina-

tive renovation of the structure could see the building restored to a useful purpose. He noted that the building has a heritage history and value that makes it worthy of preservation, especially since it is in an important area of Stittsville. “This is a place that has a footprint in the heritage part of Stittsville,” Mr. Neville said. Barbara Bottriell of Stittsville, who is president of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society, in addressing the Sub-Committee, said that this Bradley’s General Store building has a lot of history attached to it, calling it “one of the anchors” of the historical area that Stittsville has. She cited the example of the Cheshire Cat Pub on Richardson Sideroad at Carp Road as an example of how a heritage building can be restored after a fire. She noted that the engineer’s report acknowledges that the Bradley’s General Store building could be restored although it would be costly. Ms. Bottriell also noted that buildings can be re-constructed, citing an example of a location in France where buildings devastated by war were rebuilt to their previous forms. “When demolishing a heritage building, it is not just any old building,” she said. Councillor Qadri agreed with Ms. Bottriell’s remarks, supporting the significance of the Bradley’s General Store building to the Stittsville Main Street streetscape and calling the building a “cornerstone of our Main Street as a heritage building and not only as a heritage building but its position on Main Street.” See FUTURE, page 7

Future of Bradley’s General Store still to be decided Continued from page 6

While both Sub-Committee vicechair and lay member Barry Padolsky and Sub-Committee member and city councillor Peter Clark seemed to indicate reluctant support for the demolition, it was Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, a member of the Sub-Committee, who advocated for the building and really began a discussion that ended in the ultimate deferral of the matter to the next SubCommittee meeting. He said that the Sub-Committee did not have to approve the demolition, forcing the owner do take another approach. He said that at least the building’s fascade should be saved but that once a demolition permit is issued, there is no chance to even save the building’s fascade. He urged the Sub-Committee to reject the demolition request and to protect at least the building’s fascade so that it could be incorporated into any new structure on the site. Other historic buildings in the city such as the Metropolitan Bible Church on Bank Street and Somerset House have had their fascades preserved while allowing new development. Councillor Moffatt did get support for his view.

Councillor Qadri noted that this building and particularly its fascade along the street are important to Stittsville Main Street, saying that the fascade should remain the same whatever new development takes place on the site. “It still defines Main Street in Stittsville,” councillor Qadri said with regard to this Bradley’s General Store structure and its fascade. Sub-Committee chair councillor Jan Harder said that Stittsville Main Street has only a few remaining historical buildings that help tell part of the history of Goulbourn and that the Bradley’s General Store building is one of them. Sub-Committee lay member L.A. Smallwood voiced support for councillor Moffatt’s proposal that the application for demolition be rejected. Sub-Committee lay member Carolyn Quinn said that deferring the matter would provide an opportunity for the owner to re-think the issue and perhaps return to the committee with the design of a new building that would include the heritage fascade. Sub-Committee vice-chair Barry Padolsky noted that the report does indicate that demolition is only one option, meaning that demolition is not absolutely necessary in this case.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

The former Bradley’s General Store two-storey red brick building at 1518 Stittsville Main Street in the heart of Stittsville remains boarded up after it was severely damaged by fire on Monday, Sept. 9. A city of Ottawa decision on a demolition permit for the structure has been deferred and will be discussed again at a Feb. 13 meeting of the city’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee.

The joke’s on the voters

W

inston Churchill once remarked that democracy is the worst form of the government ... except for all the others. The superiority of democracy as a system of government rests on the bedrock of freely held elections, which allow anyone to put their name forward as a candidate, whatever their race, creed, sex or religion or point of view. In Canada, anyone can grow up to run in a municipal, provincial or federal election. But sometimes they shouldn’t. Case in point, Ottawa’s upcoming municipal election. Every four years, Elections Ottawa takes in a flood of applications from those wishing to run as trustees, councillors or as mayor. During the 2010 municipal election, 20 candidates put their names forward to run as mayor, which is wonderful, so long as all of them are legitimate candidates, not one-issue wonders, hoping to use the campaign trail as an opportunity to highlight their cause du jour. Even worse, some candidates decide to enter the race as “a joke,� having no serious expectation or even interest of winning the election. We’re only about a month into the nine-month election campaign trail, but we’ve already come

across one. George Marko, now running for councillor of Gloucester-Southgate, who now says he is going to take the campaign seriously, but originally registered as a “joke.� Joke candidates are at best an amusing distraction and at worst an opportunity to muddy the waters for the electorate, who, for the most part, would prefer to focus their limited time and attention on the platforms of legitimate candidates. It only costs $100 to $200 and a few minutes of time filling out form at the city services desk to qualify someone to run as trustee, councillor or mayor. On the other hand, the electorate is stuck with these joke and one-issue candidates for a year, enduring their presence in dozens of debates, all-candidates meetings, radio interviews and the election coverage provided by the media. Instead of registering as a candidate, we would suggest one-issue candidates find a more productive use for their time and their money, perhaps as donations to a charitable cause, or as a campaign contribution for a legitimate candidate who supports their cause. We should put up a sign: “Wanted: municipal representatives. Only serious candidates need apply.�

Can you ban smoking if it isn’t?

L

ife conspires to make itself more complicated. For example: just when society had drastically reduced the number of people who smoke, just when millions of people had gone successfully through the agony of quitting – well, along comes someone with an invention that says people can smoke again without the risks of actually smoking. This is the electronic cigarette, getting more and more publicity every day. Last week e-cigarettes were smoked on the Golden Globes telecast. So disturbed were a number of U.S. senators that they sent out a letter blasting the organizers for glamourizing smoking. People are taking this seriously. It is a strange thing to become a public policy issue – a battery operated thingy that draws steam through a fluid cartridge that could contain nicotine, but also could taste like chocolate or just about any other flavour. There’s no smoke, just steam. It’s pretend smoking – a Wii cigarette – yet people are up in arms about it. You can sort of see why. It’s estimated that one third of smokers have tried e-cigarettes, and eight per cent of the population generally. Here, electronic cigarette booths are cropping up in shopping centres and people

That’s why the debates about whether to keep the smoking of e-cigarettes out of public places are so peculiar. The city of Chicago has already moved to do this. Yet there are those who say that the city of Chicago is working against something that may help people quit smoking real cigarettes. Because that’s one of the arguments in favour of e-cigarettes – that they will help people give up smoking more effectively than patches, nicotine gum and the rest of the stop-smoking apparatus.

the vicinity. So banning e-cigarettes in public places would be like banning soup, the argument goes. The counter-argument – and this is what must make city councillors’ brains hurt – is that the smoking of e-cigarettes will eventually lead to the smoking of real cigarettes. E-cigarettes are a kind of gateway drug, in other words. We’ve heard that argument in relation to other substances and it is a persuasive one. In the jargon, what critics are saying is that allowing e-cigarettes to be smoked in public places will “re-normalize� smoking. Over the past decades, smoking has been made abnormal: the percentage of people who smoke has declined dramatically. It is about 20 per cent now in this country. It was 27 per cent 15 years ago, and a whopping 61 per cent 50 years ago. Some of that change happened because cigarettes became very expensive. Some of it happened because people just smartened up. But some of it happened because smoking was no longer normal – you didn’t light up in someone’s dining room anymore; you didn’t light up in the movies or on an airplane; you didn’t light up in a shopping centre; you didn’t light up at work, unless you stepped

out onto the street. That didn’t feel normal either. Will all those gains be lost because you can now smoke something that looks like a cigarette but isn’t and doesn’t in fact emit smoke? Perhaps it depends on how normal it looks. The e-cigarette is, according to one manufacturer, “an integrated structure made up of a cartridge, an atomization chamber, a smart chip controller and a built-in lithium battery.� That seems weird. But then, weirdness has never been an absolute deterrent. Talking to yourself on the street looked weird, until people got used to the look of cellphones. You don’t want to be a city councillor when this one comes around. Are you saving the public or just banning weirdness?

Executive Chef at Canada House at Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia Continued from page 1

Indeed, Tim has even taught some classes at Algonquin on a part-time basis over the years. After his graduation, Tim married Laura Fletcher and they moved to Toluca, Mexico where Tim was a teacher and advisor at a cooking school. During this time he also became fluent in Spanish – there’s that ease in picking up foreign languages. Tim and Laura have three children, Ashley, Bennett and Cole. Three years ago, they purchased Winchelsea Events, a full service catering and banquet business that offers both on-site and off-site catering as well as cooking classes and take home dinner. Laura successfully runs this business which is located just outside Winchester, across from the Cloverdale Links golf course. Tim is a volunteer firefighter in the community and is also involved in community affairs and sports. When Tim and Laura returned from Mexico, Tim continued his chef career, working at the National Arts Centre (NAC) for three years including one year as Executive Chef at the NAC. He also served a one year stint as Executive Sous Chef at Montebello. Tim’s career has also seen him spend some time for Canada in Afghanistan where he honed and demonstrated his organization skills. These

skills will be very important as he looks after the preparation of about 2,500 meals every six hours at Canada House during the upcoming Olympics. At Canada House at the Olympics, Tim will have to ensure that the kitchen not only provides the healthy and nutritious meals required by the athletes each day but ensure that there are healthy snacks and drinks on hand, both for the athletes as well as for the many who will congregate there. Athletes from other countries, families, sponsors and dignitaries will all be at Canada House at some point, taking advantage of its hospitality and its food. There will be dinners and receptions for dignitaries which Tim will have to ensure are properly catered and provided with food. One of these will be a reception for Governor General David Johnston. When his duties at Canada House at the Olympics are over, Tim will be arriving back in Canada just in time to hop on a plane to attend his younger brother Steve’s wedding in the Dominican Republic. Tim’s parents, Pat and Bill Wasylko in Munster, are proud of Tim and his accomplishments including this latest role as Executive Chef at Canada House during the Olympics. He has already accomplished a lot in his career and there will undoubtedly be more to come in the future.

News - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society may be changing the due date for its memberships. At present annual memberships are due on April 1st. However, the Society holds its annual general meeting in mid-January where it receives a lot of requests from members wanting to renew their memberships. As a result, the Historical Society is thinking of changing the due date for memberships to Jan. 31st so that payment at the annual general meeting would be convenient and appropriate. There was no opposition to this proposal at last Saturday’s annual general meeting of the Historical Society but no decision was taken at that time. The proposal will be advertized in the Society’s newsletter and if no serious objections are expressed, then the Society will probably implement the change for 2015. The change does not require any change of the Society’s bylaws.

Tim Wasylko, who grew up in Munster, is off to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia where he will be Executive Chef at Canada House, providing healthy and nutritious meals for Canada’s athletes at the Games.

No eight storey buildings Special to the News

News - There’s no proposal for eight storey buildings at the north end of Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. A draft copy of the Community Design

Plan for Stittsville Main Street had indicated that eight storey buildings would be allowed along Stittsville Main Street in the area now occupied by Brown’s Your Independent Grocer.

However, this one reference to eight storeys was in the draft copy by mistake and eight storeys are not part of the proposed Community Design Plan. Six storeys is the building height proposed in the draft Community Design Plan along most of Stittsville Main Street including this most northerly section from Carp Road north to Hazeldean Road.

Feel the beat! Special to the News

News - Catch the beat this Friday evening, Jan. 24.! That’s when the first of what will be bi-monthly open community meditative drum circles will be held at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. These will be held on the second and fourth Friday of every month at 7:30 p.m. Such drum circles have proven popular for stress management and meditation. There are no lessons needed or no need to even have a drum. Just attend and enjoy the beat, enjoying the relaxing and even sometimes hypnotic atmosphere that happens. Ruth Richardson, who is organizing these drum circle sessions after a number of people have inquired about having such an activity in the community, will have six water drums to share at this initial drum circle, along with a number of shakers and rattles. The hope is to build a community of drummers in Stittsville. This type of drum circle drumming is different from the biblical drumming which Betty Lynn Schwab has been offering at Stittsville United Church. Everyone is welcome to attend and drums of all types are welcome. Even a bucket could work. A drum circle is meant to allow a person to relax and unwind. A person can drum or dance or just sit and listen and enjoy the rhythm. In addition, at some drum circle sessions, the canvas labyrinth which the church has will be set up for those who might wish to walk the labyrinth. The term “drum circle” originated in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s to refer to any group of people who gather together informally to play music together. It’s like a jam session with drums. The music played is always improvised and co-created by the participants and as such is a group expression. Participants make the music up as they go along, using their listening and playing skills to make musical connections and to express themselves in any way that feels right. And now there will be an opportunity to experience and enjoy a community drum circle right here in Stittsville. Just show up this Friday, Jan. 24 at 7:30 p.m. at Stittsville United Church and enjoy some free-form drumming, entirely improved in-the-moment. It’s free, although donations would be welcome. For more information, please call 613-836-8735 or 613836-6847.

Historical Society elects one new director John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - There’s a new face on the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. Irene O’Grady was elected to a three-year term on the Board at the Society’s annual general meeting in Richmond last Saturday. And while Irene is new to the Society’s Board of Directors, she is not a new face in Goulbourn itself as she grew up in Richmond on the family farm on Shea Road on the edge of Richmond, a farm that was in the family since 1896. She is the daughter of the late Olga and Bill O’Grady. Irene is active in an historic re-enactment group and also has interests in quilting and genealogy. At the past two annual general meetings of the Historical Society, new Board members to be elected were unable to attend and were represented at the meeting by a photograph. This is what happened last year in the case of Lynne Blenk and the year before in the case of Debbie Proulx. This year, though, Irene, a new member of the Historical Society, was there in person and was voted in as a Director of the Society – no photo necessary. She was elected to her three year term along with John Brummell of Stittsville who was up for re-election to the Board, having completed his existing three year term. Others on the Board of Directors for the coming year are Debbie Proulx, who is entering the third year of her three year term; and Lee Boltwood, Barb Bottriell, Jim Kirkpatrick, Lynne Blenk and Mike Bryan, all of whom are entering the second year of their three year terms. Retiring from the Board this year is Tina Cockram of Munster, a longtime Director. This year’s annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society was held at the St. John the Baptist Anglican JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Church hall in Richmond. This follows the Society’s tradition of rotating the location of its annual general meeting around the various Members of the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society for 2014 are, front row, seated, from communities of Goulbourn. Last year the annual general meeting left, Debbie Proulx, Barbara Bottriell, Jim Kirkpatrick and Robin Derrick; and, back row, standing, from left, John Brummell, Lee Boltwood, Irene O’Grady, Mike Bryan and Lynne Blenk. was held in Stittsville while two years ago it was held in Ashton.

Six storey buildings key to vibrant street John Curry

plan does not meet the wishes of the community as expressed at earlier public meetings, specifically maintaining the three storey height limit for buildings along the street. It is not really clear how this “canyon effect” from higher buildings will preserve the community character of Stittsville as stated in the vision statement developed for the plan, he said. He noted that new buildings will have ground floor retail with residential on the higher floors, saying that this means that there will be no single use apartment buildings like the existing Poole Creek Manor allowed facing the street. In addition, such buildings will be right adjacent to the street and not set back with landscaping in front of them like the Poole Creek Manor has. He said that this too does not seem to do much for the character of Stittsville Main Street. Mr. Jenkins also pointed out that the proposed 1,550 new dwelling units along Stittsville Main Street

News - The slightly cooler winter weather last week must have had skunks prowling around as two skunks showed up at the Thursday evening euchre at the Lions Hall in Stittsville. Both Lois Elkins and Joan Benoit experienced skunks during the evening. A total of ten tables were played at the euchre, with Joy Phillips emerging in first place with 79 points. Janet Richards finished in second place with 76 points, followed in third place by Cleo Murray with 73 points.

traffic. But he noted that a successful Stittsville Main Street in the future will still have lots of traffic which is a key to its development. “In the end a successful main street is a congested main street with traffic,” he said, adding that a community cannot have a main street with appropriate attractive development along it without density and traffic. This draft Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street can be found on the city of Ottawa’s website. The city’s planner will be accepting comments and input about the draft plan until Monday, Feb. 3 which is when such input is needed for it to be reviewed with the Public Advisory Committee and then to be included in a city staff report that will go to city council’s planning committee, projected to be in late March. It is projected that the Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street will go before the full Ottawa city council for approval in April.

envisioned in this Community Design Plan will generate more traffic on the street. “That is one of the downsides (of the plan) and how it is to be handled by 2031 remains to be seen,” Mr. Jenkins said. Ron Jack, a consultant with the engineering firm Delcan which has been involved with Traditional Main Street plans elsewhere in the city, reminded those at the meeting that this Community Design Plan proposed for Stittsville Main Street is a 20 year plan, not what he called a “tomorrow plan.” He said that the plan provides a development framework for future development along the street. He said that as transportation enhancements take place in the community, such as making Carp Road four lanes north of Hazeldean Road to highway 417, better public transit and the development of the north/ south arterial through the Fernbank lands, less through traffic will be using Stittsville Main Street and it will become more a street for just local

…

News – Stittsville resident David Jenkins may call it a “canyon effect” but having buildings up to six storeys in height along Stittsville Main Street with more lower-height residential units behind them will result in a reinvigorated street in the view of Charles Lanktree, lead planner for the proposed Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street. He told the more than 75 people at the third and final public open house about the Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street on Thursday, Jan. 16 in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena that getting more people living along Stittsville Main Street is the key to reinvigorating the street. If you want a Stittsville Main Street that functions as the centre core of the community, you need people living there, he said. He said that people living along the street will invigorate the community so that Stittsville will become a complete community. He said that it is important that communities outside the Greenbelt like Stittsville have a village core that draws people in and provides services to community residents. He defended the draft Community Design Plan as meeting the vision for the street as developed at the first open house meeting in Nov. 2012, saying that the proposed plan will result in Stittsville Main Street eventually becoming a community destination while preserving its heritage and village character. He said that the plan will create a mix of commercial and residential development along the street as desired in the vision while creating a pedestrian and cycling friendly environment. Mr. Lanktree reminded those at the open house meeting that it is important to realize that this Community Design Plan is a long term project as he expects a slow pace of development to take place, noting that not all of the development planned for and expected will take place within the next 20 years which is the planning span for the plan.

He said that as part of the city’s urban area, there should be a lot of growth in Stittsville but that this development and growth has not happened on Stittsville Main Street due to the existing policy restricting building height. He said that if density is improved as with higher buildings, then development will happen. He said that although there has been a lot of change and development in Stittsville over the past 20 to 30 years, not much has happened along Stittsville Main Street except for the auto-related commercial developments north of Carp Road. And he is not worried that the six storey height proposed in the plan will be exceeded, pointing out that this Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street will have gone through an extensive planning and consultation process and that the Ontario Municipal Board would respect such a process and the plan arising from it. The draft Community Design Plan calls for six storey buildings being allowed along most of Stittsville Main Street from Carp Road south to Bell Street except for the historic core area where the building height will be restricted to three storeys because of the narrowness of the road allowance in that area of the street. With regard to the architectural details for new buildings along Stittsville Main Street, Mr. Lanktree said that for streets designated as Traditional Main Streets, which Stittsville Main Street is, the city has a design panel of architects and others knowledgeable about building design which provides advice and which reviews plans for new buildings along such streets. He suggested that a policy of the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan could be that proposed new development on the street go through this design panel process. Taking part in a panel discussion at this open house meeting, former Stittsville Village Association director and a member of the Public Advisory Committee for this Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan David Jenkins lamented that the draft

Sports - The Fullerton family of Stittsville now possesses an authentic Payton Manning National Football League game jersey. The family won the jersey by winning a draw for it at the Bell Warriors Football Club’s annual player banquets on Saturday, Jan. 11. There were 69 silent auction items sold in the afternoon and evening silent auctions that day. Every winning bidder had his or her name thrown into a hat for a chance to win the Peyton Manning game jersey. It had been donated for the event by FocusOttawa.com. The Fullerton family of Stittsville won the draw and the Peyton Manning jersey. Andrew Fullerton of Stittsville played for the Bell Warriors pee wee team in 2013. In fact, he was one of the individual award winners at the pee wee banquet, receiving the award for outstanding offensive back. The Bell Warriors Football Club raised over $5,000 with its silent auctions at its windup awards banquets. These funds go directly towards purchasing new football equipment for Bell Warriors players. This was the second year that the Bell Warriors Football Club had held silent auctions in conjunction with its windup banquets.

This year’s competition will result in 16 hockey communities across Canada receiving prize money that will go toward arena upgrades. The grand prize winner will not only win $100,000 in arena upgrades but will also win the right to host a 2014-15 NHL Preseason game and a visit from CBC.

Richmond has a rich hockey tradition that includes being the birthplace of the International Silver Stick Hockey Association. Silver Stick Hockey was founded in 1958 and found its home in Richmond as the village had one of the very few indoor rinks at that time. The philosophy of the Silver Stick tournament was to help develop “Citizenship and International Goodwill through Hockey.” The first ever Silver Stick games took place on February 6, 1958 and featured the Richmond Peewees and the Woodroffe Bantams playing teams from Potsdam, New York.

Stittsville Royals win in overtime John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - An overtime goal gave the Stittsville Royals a 5-4 victory over the visiting Shawville Pontiacs in an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. It was the Royals’ Derrick Verrin who scored his second goal of the game with one minute and 18 seconds gone in the overtime period to give the Royals the victory, the team’s second win of the weekend. The Royals led 4-1 in this game through the midway point of the second period before Shawville started a comeback

that would see the Pontiacs tied up the game 4-4 with only 33 seconds left in regulation time in the game. This forced the overtime session which Derrick Verrin ended with his goal, giving the Royals a 5-4 victory. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Derrick Verrin with two goals with Alex Perrault, Kevin Groulx and Steve Genier adding single markers. Earning assists in the game for the Royals were Blake Martyniuk, Alex Hulford and Jordan Cale, all with two assists, and Steve Genier, Kevin Groulx, Derrick Verrin and Jeremy Nichols, all with one assist. Shots on net during this game were virtually even, with Shawville directing 37 shots at

the Royals net and Stittsville recording 38 shots on the Pontiacs goal. This overtime victory against Shawville on Sunday came after the Royals had travelled to Perth and had defeated the hometown Perth Blue Wings 64 in a Friday night game. The two teams were tied 4-4 after two periods but the Royals scored the only two goals of the third period, both by Alex Hulford, to get the 6-4 win. The second goal was into an empty Perth net with the Royals playing shorthanded, with Blake Martyniuk in the penalty box for slashing. Other goal scorers for the Royals in this game were Steve Genier, Derrick Verrin, Jake Oliver and Joey Laird.

January 17th, 2014 Blasting along the Trans Canada Trail This past week my office has received several inquiries regarding vibrations and tremors that are being felt near Abbott Street, Talltree Crescent and Granite Ridge area. This is a result of blasting work being conducted in relation to the current Sanitary trunk sewer that is under construction to service the Development Lands for the Fernbank Community. The sewer is located between Terry Fox Drive and Abbott Street along the Trans-Canada Trail system within the Hydro One Corridor. This work will take approximately 2-3 weeks to complete. There may be some additional work later, if deemed necessary. Should you be experiencing the vibrations and tremors from the work being conducted and have any questions you may contact Kevin Lamer, Program Manager for Development Inspection at Kevin.lamer@ottawa.ca Should you have concerns regarding your property and possible damage incurred as a result of the blasting you may contact the City of Ottawa Claims Department through the general claims line at 613-580-2655 or e-mail at claims@ottawa.ca 1518 Stittsville Main Street fate not yet determined An application to demolish 1518 Stittsville Main Street, which was damaged by fire in September 2013, was received by the City of Ottawa. As this building has a heritage designation this application was brought forth to the Built Heritage Sub Committee (BHSC) on January 16th for review. The Committee has requested that the 90 day term that is given for the city to make a decision regarding the application for demolition be extended. This motion for extension was granted with the consent from both the applicant and the City. The item is now set to go forward to the next BHSC meeting on February 13th for further technical review.

Munster winter carnival coming Special to the News

News - Here comes winter carnival time in Munster! The Winter Olympics in Sochi get underway at the same time as the Munster winter carnival happens this year, namely on Friday, Feb. 7 and Saturday, Feb. 8. That’s why this 41st Munster winter carnival is being called “Sochi 2014.” And both the Winter Olympics in Sochi in Russia and the Munster win-

ter carnival have something in common other than the Sochi name and that is that both are fun filled events where the emphasis is on wintertime activities and events. Of course, the Sochi Olympics in Russia are not having have a chili cooking contest or a pancake breakfast but the Munster winter carnival will not be having bobsledding or downhill skiing. So, they are not the same but both are celebrations

of winter and all the fun that winter can produce. And so just what will be happening at the Munster winter carnival “Sochi 2014”? On Friday evening, Feb. 7 at the Munster Community Centre, there will be a bonfire, music from Jack FM, an open skate, free hot chocolate, a movie for the kids and a canteen. Saturday, Feb. 8 will start off with a home cooked pancake breakfast at

the Munster United Church hall. There will then be some outdoor games at the Munster Community Centre followed by the “Kids Zone” at the Munster elementary School gymnasium. Youngsters will be entertained by Circus Delight along with other activities. And who would want to miss the annual Munster Chili Cook-Off. Who has the best chili in the community? Anyone who wants can bring a chili entry suitable to feed 20 to 30 people to the Munster Community Centre for 11:30 a.m. People will get to sample the

various entries and a people’s choice ballot will be provided. The winners will be announced at 1 p.m. And make sure that you purchase your 2014 winter carnival ribbon that gives admission to all carnival events. It’s only $5 for a carnival ribbon, with a maximum of $20 for ribbons for a whole family. Ribbons will be on sale during the winter carnival at the Munster Community Centre canteen on both the Friday and Saturday and at the pancake breakfast and at the Munster Elementary School gymnasium on the Saturday.

Condos in Fernbank lands John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Seven three-storey buildings. Twelve units in each. All stretching along the east side of the new north/south arterial road in the Fernbank lands, called Founders Way, between Cope Drive in the south and Bobolink Ridge in the north. That’s what The Regional Group, through its EQ Homes housing arm, is proposing in its Fernbank Crossing development in the Fernbank lands and, indeed, 17 of the units have already been sold, apparently all to current residents of Stittsville who are downsizing. Josh Kardish, a planner in charge of project implementation for the Regional Group of Companies, told the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) executive at its meeting on Thursday, Jan. 9 that this model of condominiums called Foxwood Condominiums has been well received by the marketplace, both in Kanata where eight 12unit buildings sold out in five weekends and in the Fernbank lands where sales have been happening as well, even before the project has received final city approval. “People seem to like this model,� Mr. Kardish said. Purchasers to date in Kanata and now Stittsville tend to be older people who are downsizing, first time buyers and others who are using the opportunity as an investment. These Foxwood Condominiums, designed by well known Ottawa architect Barry Hobin, are three storeys in height, with four units per floor, with all of the units being corner units and ranging in size from 950 square feet to 1,200 square feet. The concept includes underground parking for residents and an elevator in each building. Visitor parking is above ground while the site also includes on-site garbage enclosures and heated bicycle enclosures. Because of the underground parking, the site is able to have greater landscaping features including a landscaped courtyard. Prices for these units range from about $290,000 for the smaller units to about $320,000 for the larger units. Units in three of the seven buildings are currently being offered for sale. The Community Design Plan for the Fernbank lands calls for mid-density residential development along this section of the north/south arterial as is being suggested in this proposal. While the proposal will be going before the city of Ottawa’s planning committee for zoning, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri said at the SVA meeting that if the SVA or people in the community feel that there is a need for a public meeting in the community about this proposal, then such a meeting will be held.

This model of condominiums called Foxwood Condominiums being sold by The Regional group through its EQ Homes arm has been well received by the marketplace, both in Kanata where eight 12-unit buildings sold out in five weekends and in the Fernbank lands of Stittsville where sales have been happening as well, even before the project has received final city approval.

Learning about Arctic animals

Special to the News

News - Just how big is a polar bear? Well, big enough that all 14 youngsters in a class at the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School can all sit together on a polar bear’s skin. That’s what happened at a recent presentation at the Nursery School where the youngsters were learning about the Arctic and specifically about the animals that live there. And no animal is more iconic and more associated with the Arctic than the polar bear. A giant polar bear skin, now like a huge white rug, was used in the presentation and all 14 youngsters at the Nursery School were able to gather together and sit on it – a polar bear is that large. Indeed, an adult male polar bear can weight up to 1,500 pounds and can measure up to ten feet in total length. Polar bears are superbly insulation by up to four inches of blubber, hide and fur. Indeed, a polar bear will overheat if the temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius. Its native range lies largely within the Arctic Circle but also elsewhere as far south as Newfound.. Although most are born on land, they spend

most of their time at sea since its preferred food is seals which it hunts from the edge of sea ice. Today the polar bear is classified as a vulnerable species with polar bear populations in decline in some areas. But hunting controls and quotas has helped populations rebound from these declines. It is currently estimated that there are 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears around the world. Polar bears rarely live beyond 25 years of age. The polar bear is a key figure in the material, spiritual and cultural life of indigenous peoples in the Arctic. The polar bear is often regarded as a marine mammal because it spends so much time at seas. But it is the only “marine mammal” today whose large limbs and feet allow it to cover miles on foot and to run on land. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School, located in premises at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville, aims to provide a stimulating environment in which children can learn and develop at their own pace. The program focuses on activities that encourage children to experiment freely and creatively.

In the Nursery School environment, children learn to handle themselves in a group of peers, to take instruction from adults other than parents and to develop new relationship. The Nursery School helps children find a balance between being a unique individual and cooperating as part of a team. Sue Blackhall is the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School’s program supervisor while Stefanie Papineau is the business manager. All classes are staffed with an Early Childhood Educator teacher who is supported by an assistant teacher. Duty parents are also scheduled for each class and help the teachers. It was back in 1971 when a group of parents in Stittsville wanted to provide a pre-school experience for their children and opened the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School. In 1981, the Nursery School was incorporated. It is a parent co-operative and is administered by an elected executive committee of volunteer parent members. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School began at the Stittsville United Church premises before acquiring its

own premises on the west side of Stittsville Main Street in the downtown area of Stitts-

ville. When A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School opened at the beginning of the 1990’s,

the Nursery School relocated to premises there which is still occupies.

The book “Goulbourn Stained Glass” features photographic and written records of the stained glass windows found in the churches in Goulbourn.

News - “Richmond is Hockeyville.” This was the yell that resounded through the gymnasium at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 16, the enthusiastic conclusion to a brief rally and information session to generate enthusiasm for Richmond’s campaign to become the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville community. This yell “Richmond is Hockeyville” was followed by the chant “Hockeyville …Hockeyville…Hockeyville” as the assembled students endorsed the spirit of the assembly. It was all part of the launch of a community effort to have Richmond named as one of the winners in the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville contest and win $100,000 in arena renovations plus the opportunity to play host to a National Hockey League pre-season game in the fall. Bringing this “Richmond is Hockeyville” message to the students at St. Philip Catholic School were the trio of Lisa Shouldice, who is director of fundraising for the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association (RMMHA); Daniel Faubert, who came up with the idea of Richmond competing in the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville competition; and Martin Klemes who is handling media relations for the campaign.

As the students entered the gymnasium for the assembly, they passed by the RMMHA mascot who gave “high fives” as well as some “medium fives” and even some “low fives” to the students as they filed into the gym, many wearing hockey jerseys including those of the Ottawa Senators, Richmond Royals and Goulbourn Rockets. The mascot was assisted in his welcoming duties by St. Philip student Ryan Clarke who held a poster proclaiming Richmond as Hockeyville 2014. At the beginning of the assembly, students were shown a video about how important a community arena is to life in communities in Canada. This was followed up by a plea from Lisa Shouldice for every student to go to the Kraft Hockeyville site at http://krafthockeyville.cbc.ca and nominate Richmond as Hockeyville 2014 by telling a compelling story of what the local arena means to the community. The number and nature of these stories will demonstrate community spirit and as Lisa told the students, “The more spirit we have, the more chance we have to win.” And the story about the Richmond arena in the nomination can be about any activity that takes place at the arena, not necessarily just hockey. It could be figure skating or any other activity that goes on there. The students were also told

about a poster contest that this “Richmond is Hockeyville” campaign is holding. The poster must be hand drawn on an 8 ½ inch by 11 inch piece of paper and must include not

only a drawing of the Richmond Fox but also the phrase “Richmond is Kraft Hockeyville.” The posters will be put up around the community to publicize the campaign.

The campaign is going to culminate in a Hockey Festival Day at the outdoor rink at Creekside Gardens in Richmond on Saturday, Feb. 8 when there will be hockey

games going on all day long. There will be a BBQ and some special guests may appear – such as Spartacat, Ottawa Senators players or Ottawa mayor Jim Watson.

Starlight Synchronized Skating Elementary Team Special to the News

Sports - Figure skating as a team sport reaches its ultimate portrayal in synchronized skating. And skaters from across the west Ottawa area including skaters from Stittsville enjoy the fun team environment generated by synchronized skating by being part of the Starlight Synchronized Skating Elementary Team which skates out of the March-Kanata Skating Club. And this Starlight Synchronized Skating Elementary Team has a busy competitive schedule coming up. There’s a competition in Laval on Jan. 25 & 26, after which the team will be competing in the Ontario Regionals in Waterloo from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. And this competitive schedule will end with the SynchroSkate competition right in Kanata on March 8. Synchronized skating is a figure skating discipline in which anywhere from 8 to 20 skaters depending on the level skate on ice as a team, moving as one flowing unit at quick speeds. The discipline was originally called precision skating in North America because of its emphasis on maintaining precise formations and the timing of the group. Synchronized skaters must be competent with a variety of skating skills including speed, footwork and ice presence. A team performs a program set to music with required formations including lines, wheels, circles and intersections. It was in 1956 that the first synchronized skating team was formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The first international competition involving Canadian and American skaters happened in 1976. There are now international synchronized skating competitions at the Senior, Junior and Novice levels and a world championship has been held since the year 2000.

Jack Chouinard plays hockey and lacrosse John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Hockey, lacrosse, cross country running – these are sports in which 12 year old Jack Chouinard excels. The grade seven student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville plays AAA hockey with the Ottawa Valley Titans Major Peewee team. A defenseman, he played previously with the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven after starting in hockey with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association. He has always played as a defenseman, describing himself as a pretty balanced player who doesn’t score a lot but does get involved in the offense. He also describes himself as being strong defensively. “I’m tough and mean,” he says, but adds that he stays away from stupid penalties. Jack likes playing for the Titans despite the higher level of competition and the travel. Indeed, he likes both of these. “I wanted to be pushed,” he says about why he wanted to play Titans hockey, noting that he wants to play at the highest level possible and go as high as he can in hockey, including playing in the National Hockey League. His hope is to earn a scholarship to a university like Harvard or Princeton, playing hockey while getting an education. He admits that his stickhandling is probably the part of his game on which he needs to work most, saying that he is good at it but that he could be better, something that more practice would remedy. And while the Ottawa Valley Titans travel a lot including to places like Toronto,

Sudbury and Port Huron as well as play league games, Jack likes all the travel involved. “You feel like a pro, kind of,” he says. While he says that he likes the Ottawa Senators, he says that he likes the Boston Bruins more, particularly Zdeno Chara. Jack also likes playing lacrosse, something that he has done for about seven years. It finds it not only fun and competitive but he says that “it’s a break from hockey.” He says that Nepean Knights tryouts for lacrosse are just as competitive as those in hockey while noting that lacrosse toughens him up for hockey as he gets to hit opponents in lacrosse. This past summer, he hurt his knee playing lacrosse although he says that the knee

Jack Chouinard

is fine now after some physiotherapy. Jack says that he likes to run and he is good at it as evidenced by the fact that he won the Ottawa Catholic School Board cross country title twice while a student at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville. This is his first year at Sacred Heart Catholic High School and he likes it, saying the “lockers are cool.” He likes having more teachers and notes the variety of sports that is offered to students. He is enjoying this new experience at Sacred Heart. He is enrolled in the French Immersion program, admitting that he likes learning French. His parents can speak French so he gets a lot of help with his French at home. Jack also says that he likes his classes like math, physical education and language, noting that he tries to apply himself to his studies. He says that he tries to work hard in class and focus on his projects and presentations while getting his work done. At Guardian Angels Catholic School, Jack won the public speaking competition and was one of the valedictorians for his grade six school leaving ceremony. “I love reading,” Jack says, identifying the Hunger Games and Harry Potter as among his favourite books. Jack used to have a lizard as a pet but now he is happy with the family dog, a black British Labrador named “Hudson.” “He’s really awesome,” he says about Hudson. Jack likes some TV shows like NCIS and Arrow but he also exercises a lot by swimming, running and biking. “I like being fit,” he says.

Sacred Heart’s Evan Walker wins wrestling championship John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade eight student Evan Walker is a champion wrestler. But his city championship this year came thanks to focused training, better technique and even some advice from his father, a former high school wrestler. Last year Evan got into wrestling at the school, finishing fifth in the west end tournament. But this school year was different, as Evan won in his 95 pound class at the west end tournament and then repeated his success at the city tournament, emerging as the gold medal champion. The training paid off, the 13 year old says, noting that he dropped five pounds to qualify for a different weight class. But more importantly he went to all of the school’s wrestling practices and readily admits that he put more effort into his training this year. For one thing, in training he tried to wrestle others in higher weight categories, helping him develop his muscles and helping him get used to going against wrestlers bigger than he is. Evan also says that he not only has more wrestling moves this year but he does them with more confidence. He also credits his father who was a high school wrestler for giving him pointers about technique and feedback about his performances. Indeed, Evan likes the fact that he is following in his father’s footsteps, as it were, giving them a common bond. He says that improving his work and training habits this year put himself in a position where he could excel and this is what he did – finishing on top as the gold medal cham-

Evan Walker pion. Evan says that wrestling has become a sport that he enjoys and he definitely plans to carry on the sport in his high school years. He is also thinking about joining a wrestling club in the community. He describes himself as a “confident” wrestler. He goes into a match not expecting to either win or lose but simply to try his best. He tries to put everything that he has into a match so that afterwards, not matter what the outcome, he is not plagued by any thoughts of what he “could have” done in the match. Wrestling, though, is not Evan’s only sports endeavour. He plays competitive basketball in the community where he plays as a forward intent on giving scoring opportunities to his teammates. He likes the team aspect of basketball but also notes that each player has to do his job on the court. He says that in this way, it is like wrestling in that a player has to focus on what he is doing in his position and execute properly. Evan can be found not only

on the wrestling mat and the basketball court but also on the ball diamond in the summer “I try to do as many things as I can,” he says, saying he likes to keep busy. In softball, he pitches in house league play and plays centre field in competitive ball. He has developed a windmill pitching style which he uses when he pitches in house league play. He has even attended several ball camps to develop his pitching technique. In competitive ball, he has found that he likes playing centre field as a centerfielder controls the outfield. In addition, he also likes diving for balls hit to the outfield. Evan describes himself as a good hitter, although he admits that house league pitching is slower and better for hitting. At Sacred Heart, he is involved in the music program as a member of the Only Boys Aloud vocal group as well as playing drums and guitar, both of which he also plays at home. Indeed, he plays the drums in a band in the community. He admits that he is really into alternative rock, both of the hard and soft variety, while noting that neither pop nor rap is really his kind of music. Evan says that he is not a member of any school groups due to time commitments but he notes his support for such organizations as Free The Children. He credits his brother for turning him onto reading and he enjoys science fiction, although it has to be stories set in real places that he can relate to rather than science fiction that is totally imaginary. Evan used to have a hermit crab as a pet, saying that such a crab is fun to observe. His main pet focus now is on the five year old dog Ruby who has been in his life since she was three months old.

Derek Dunn

derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Ken Gordon is the first person to put forward his name to be the Catholic School Board trustee for this area. He is now campaigning for the Oct. 27 municipal election to become trustee for the West Carleton-March/Stittsville-Kanata West/ RideauGoulbourn/Osgoode zone for the Ottawa Catholic School Board (OCSB). The zone includes 12 schools - Holy Spirit, St. Stephen, Guardian Angels and Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, St. Catherine in Metcalfe, St. Isidore in South March, St. Leonard and St. Mark High School in Manotick, St. Mary (Gloucester) on Bank Street, St. Michael in Corkery, St. Michael in Fitzroy Harbour, and St. Philip in Richmond. “I have seen a lot of changes that need to be made, but a lot has stayed the same,” Gordon said. He has two main planks in his platform: leveraging technology and cost savings. “People seem to be afraid of new technologies. I would like to take the schools into the 21st century,” he said. “And I see a lot of waste on transportation to and from. We could work better with the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority (OSTA).” He favours spending more

Ken Gordon on smart boards, computers and other high tech gadgetry to prepare students for tomorrow’s workplace and social world. The former Fed Ex employee who in 2010 became the superintendent of OC Transpo also wants to see shared bussing for rural students from both the public and Catholic boards. Gordon advocates for higher standards among those transporting students in private vans and other non-authority vehicles. Licence requirements should be higher; criminal record checks should be renewed annually; and the smell of cigarette smoke should be banned from work vehicles. According to OSTA, pay is low for private van contractors making it difficult to guaran-

tee smoke-free vehicles. “This practice of transporting students to school in smoke-filled vehicles is deplorable,” Gordon penned on his website. “This will be one of the first changes I will bring forth if elected as OCSB Trustee for Zone 1.” He noted that at $21.6 million, transportation accounts for 5 per cent of the Board’s total budget, second only to teacher and administration pay. OCSB’s 2013/14 budget shows that 80 per cent of the budget ($356.2 million) is allocated to salaries and benefits, leaving 20 cents of every dollar to cover all remaining costs associated with providing education, Gordon pointed out. A lifelong resident of Kanata and Ottawa, Gordon is married to stay-at-home mom Crystal and is father to children ages 4, 6, and 7. He lives in Brookside, behind the Sobey’s store on March Road in Kanata. His website is ken4trustee.com. There are no other candidates registered as yet for being trustee for the Ottawa Catholic School Board for this area. The nomination period opened at the beginning of January and closes in midSeptember. John Curry has been the Catholic School Board trustee for the area since the year 2000.

Academy Awards touch Film Series Special to the News

News – If you follow the Academy Awards, then you will probably want to take in at least two of the movies in this year’s Stittsville Rotary International Film Series at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum. That’s because the first film being shown this Thursday, Jan. 23 has been nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category while the next film to be shown in the series on Thursday, Feb. 20 has received a lot of press for being snubbed in this year’s Academy Awards nominations. This Thursday, Jan. 23, “The Hunt,” a 2012 Danish film featuring Mads Mikkelson, is being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. Last week it received its Academy Award nomination. This film, in Danish with English subtitles, is considered a contemporary and powerfully emotional film. You won’t want to miss seeing it. On Thursday, Feb. 20, it will be a United States film that is shown in this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series, namely “Inside Llewyn Davis,” a 2013 production in English about a fictional folk musician in the early 1960’s in New York. The soundtrack to this film has become popular in its own right, so seeing this film and hearing its music should be quite a treat. This film has been popular with film critics but it was a loser in the Academy Awards nominations, getting just two nominations, both in craft categories. Directors Joel and Ethan Coen were left out of the nominations for best director and also for writers of the best original screenplay. And also left out of the nominations was Oscar Isaac who plays the title role in the

film and has been praised for his singing and acting in the role. But there was no best actor nomination for him. On Thursday, March 20, the movie “Gloria,” a production from Chile, will be shown in this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. This film in Spanish with English subtitles tells the story of a divorcee in her late 50’s who loves dancing and romance but is also facing the reality of aging. And finally, on Thursday, April 24, this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 will conclude with the screening of “The Lunchbox,” made in India in 2013. Set in Mumbai, this film is in Hindi but has English subtitles. One of its stars is Irfan Khan who was in “Life of Pi” and in “Slumdog Millionaire.” Passes for this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 can be purchased at two locations: the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and at the Wes Zacharuk Insurance Group Inc. The Cooperators at 62 Stonehaven Drive in Bridlewood. Passes, though, can be purchased only by cash or cheque. Each pass costs $40 but it is fully transferable if the purchaser cannot attend one of the four films being shown and wishes to lend the pass to another person. The films are being shown on one Thursday evening in January, February, March and April, all at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Leo Maiorino of Mortgage Brokers Ottawa, a Stittsville resident, is a major sponsor of this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series.

A dream come true for Dylan Wright of Richmond Corporation Walton TransCan Canada Amateur Nationals showing the ability to overcome adversity while displaying total devotion to the sport of motocross both on and off the track. By 2012, Dylan had the backing of MX101 as well as sponsorship support from Yamaha Canada, FOX Canada, EKS brand goggles and Clark Mechanical. In 2013, Dylan continued his winning ways, capturing numerous intermediate championships as well as the coveted Bronze Boot which is an annual award presented to the best all round amateur rider for the week of the TransCan competition. Also last summer, Dylan became the amateur rider with the highest finish in a professional motocross race ever with his third place finish in round five of the pro nationals at the Gopher Dunes motocross track at Courtland which is near Tillsonburg in southwestern Ontario. Over the years, Dylan has developed as a motocross rider. He served as part of the MX101 Talent Factory Team, a program supported by Yamaha Motor Canada. He later served for four years as an instructor with the MX101 summer camps at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park, teaching camp students how to ride. He received the sponsorship support of the Yamaha company as an amateur, earning two Yamaha Factory rides in both 2012 and 2013. This consisted of the free use of a Yamaha bike of his choice for the season and a parts budget of $2,500. Dylan has now signed a three year deal with Team MX101 Yamaha, making him one of the youngest dirt bike racers to ever sign a professional motocross deal in Canada. MX101, Yamaha Motor Canada Limited and Dylan himself are all excited about the inking of this agreement. “We are thrilled to have

Dylan signed for the next three years as it will give us the time needed to help season him and make him a champion,” said Kevin Tyler, co-owner of MX101 and the team manager of the MX101 racing team. Bryan Hudgin, marketing manager with Yamaha Motor Canada Limited, is also excited, noting that Dylan is living the Yamaha Motor Canada dream, going from instructor to being a “Win A Factory Ride” winner to signing a professional contract with Team Mx101 Yamaha. And as for Dylan himself, it’s a dream come true. “I am really excited to sign with Team MX101 Yamaha for the next three years as they are close to home and I have been able to build a good relationship with them over the many years I have spent ripping laps around Sand Del Lee,” he said. “I was really surprised to get an offer for three years and am happy it could be with such an amazing team.” “Becoming a pro is something that we all dream about as kids and for this dream to come true is just amazing,” he said. Dylan also notes the support that he has received over the years from his parents, family and friends. His new professional status means that he will be giving up his former racing number, 539, and this year will be sporting number 34, his new national pro number, when he lines up in the MX2 class in the spring. His new pro status means that he will be travelling across the country this coming year, taking part in all ten rounds of the Canadian national professional motocross series. This will be the first time that he gets to ride on the tracks in western Canada. In addition, he will be racing Yamaha’s brand new 2014 YZ 250F model, the latest addition to the company’s line of motocross bikes. He got to test ride the bike at the Sand Del Lee Motocorss Park last

summer, falling in love with it. He is now really excited to have the opportunity to race on this bike in the coming season. The bike is equipped with a brand new EFI engine, an entirely new chassis and new suspension components. MX101 at Sand Del Lee Motocross Park has been focusing on educating and teaching dirt bike riders for the past 12 years in partnership with Yamaha Canada. The MX101 Talent Factory Education Program, with which Dylan was involved, allows youngsters to get a sound and safe start in dirt bike riding and motocross racing. As these young riders develop and understand the skills, attitude and character that are required to advance, they get a chance to be instructors with MX101, with some getting to race with the MX101 Talent Factory Race Team. Dylan played minor hockey up to the major atom level but then decided that motocross racing would be his passion.

Sports - He has raced in the world’s largest and most prestigious amateur motocross race, Loretta Lynn’s American Amateur National Motocross Championships. He has won a Canadian championship, taking the Schoolboy class on his Yamaha YZ125 in 2012. He made history last summer at the age of 16 when he became the amateur rider with the highest finish ever in a professional motocross race by placing third in round five of the pro nationals at the Gopher Dunes motocross track. And now Dylan Wright of Richmond will be travelling across Canada this coming year, taking part in all ten rounds of the Canadian national professional motocross series as he has become one of the youngest dirt bike racers to ever sign a professional motocross deal in Canada. It’s a dream come true for the 16 year old, a dream born out of hard work and dedication. Dylan has come a long way since he first rode a dirt bike at the age of four and lined up for his first race when he was five. With the help of MX101 motocross schools at the Sand Del Lee Motocross Park near Munster, he developed the skills and technique that he has required to move up through the amateur motocross racing ranks in both Canada and the United States. By competing in Loretta Lynn’s American Amateur National Motocross Championships in Tennessee both in 2009 on an 80cc bike and again in 2012 on a 125cc bike in the Schoolboy class, he gained a ranking among the top 40 amateur racers in North America. It was in 2012 as well that Dylan won his Canadian championship in the Schoolboy class on his Yamaha YZ125. In so doing, he earned the Total Devotion Award which is a prize given to the rider at the Canadian Motocross Racing

Sledge hockey action wrapped around arena naming John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s going to be a sledge hockey festival wrapped around a naming ceremony for the Goulbourn Recreation Complex’s new arena. It will all happen on Sunday, Feb. 9 when Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) will provide four hours of sledge hockey action taking place both before and after a 12:15 p.m. ceremony at which the new second arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) will be named after Stittsville’s own Matt Bradley who has played for four teams in the National Hockey League. SHEO has partnered with the city of Ottawa’s protective services (police, fire and paramedics) as well as with the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association and the Kanata Girls Hockey Association to host this Emergency Services (EMS) Hockey Challenge on Sunday,

Feb. 9. There will be action both on the ice and off at this event which will begin at 8:15 a.m. and run through to 2:05 p.m. From 8:15 a.m. to 9:15 a.m., the Kanata Girls Hockey Association will take on SHEO’s Ottawa Valley Falcons intermediate “C” sledge hockey team. From 9:15 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., players from the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association will try out sledge hockey, playing against SHEO’s Ottawa Valley Junior/Novice Lasers sledge hockey team. From 10:30 a.m. to 11:45 a.m., faced paced sledge hockey league play will take over the ice surface, with the Kingston Knights sledge hockey team taking on SHEO’s Ottawa Sledgehammers team. After the naming ceremony at 12:15 p.m., Ottawa’s protective services personnel representing the fire, police and paramedic services

will try their hand at sledge hockey, playing against the Ottawa Sledgehammers “A” team. The arena naming ceremony at 12:15 p.m. will include city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri along with other guests, as this new second arena at the GRC is named as the Matt Bradley Arena. Besides all of this on-ice activity, this event will also include a number of off-ice activities in the lobby area of the new arena. You will be able to send your best wishes for gold to Canada’s paralympic athletes going to compete in Sochi in Russia by signing a flag for them. There will be a silent auction held featuring items from local businesses as well as one-ofa-kind Canadian sledge hockey memorabilia. All of the proceeds from this silent auction will go towards sledge hockey programs, giving the chance to play to children, youth and

adults with physical disabilities. There will be an opportunity to learn about sledge hockey and Canada’s historic involvement with the sport. Everyone is welcome to attend this Sledge Hockey Challenge event and arena naming ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 9 from 8:15 a.m. to 2:05 p.m. at the new second arena at the GRC on Shea Road in Stittsville. Sledge hockey is a team sport that conforms to the rules and form of traditional hockey, with players using a sledge rather than skates and sticks with picks to propel themselves across the ice. Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) is a volunteer run, not-for-profit organization. Since 1982, SHEO’s programs have provided an opportunity for children, youth and adults with disabilities to play and enjoy hockey on ice, just like their able-bodied peers are able to do.

Sports - Ottawa Valley Titans Day is happening right here in Stittsville at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena this Saturday, Jan. 25. This will be a day filled with hockey games, six in total, running from 9 a.m. through to the evening matchup between the Kanata Stallions and the Carleton Place Canadians of the Central Canada Junior Hockey League. The games throughout the day leading up to this junior contest will all feature Ottawa Valley Titans AAA teams – high level minor hockey at its best. Spectators are most welcome and the $5 admission

will allow you to see all of the games all day long. Children under five years of age will be admitted free of charge. And just what will you be able to see? Well, for one thing, the Titans teams and Kanata Stallions will be wearing purple coloured jerseys since the day is being held as a fundraiser for Do-It-For Daron, the organization which is working to overcome the stigma attached with mental health among youth. And since purple was Daron Richardson’s favourite colour, it has been adopted as the colour representing Do-It-For-Daron. Hence the purple jerseys.

This Titans Day at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena will wrap up with a Central Canada Junior Hockey League game at 7:30 p.m. between the Kanata Stallions and the Carleton Place Canadians. While at Titans Day, you will also be able to enjoy a lunch time special if desired. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., a chili lunch along with bun and a drink will be available, all for just $5. Do-It-For-Daron, founded after 14 year old Daron Richardson, daughter of Ottawa Senators Luke Richardson, died by suicide in 2010, encourages young people to talk openly about mental illness and to ask for help when needed. It tries to provide young people, their parents and others with the resources to overcome fear of discussing mental illness. Do-It-For Daron works closely with the Royal Ottawa Foundation and the Sens Foundation to raise awareness of mental health issues among youth in the community. The Ottawa Valley Titans provides top level competitive hockey for minor hockey players in the area ranging from Pakenham to Perth to Carleton Place to Kanata to Stittsville

to Richmond. Its first season of operation was the 1981-82 season and since then the Titans have experienced success on the ice and also off the ice in helping develop balanced and mature young people, a number of whom have gone on to major junior and university hockey in addition to the National Hockey League. Ottawa Valley Titans alumni from Stittsville have include Matt Bradley who played in the National Hockey League, Jesse Blais of the Smiths Falls Bears, Alex Robinson of the Peterborough Petes, Brett Dupuy of the Kingston Voyagers, Alex Aondie of the Nepean Raiders, Riley McCrann of the Kemptville 73s, Billy Jenkins of the Niagara Ice Dogs, Ryan McCaughan of the Smiths Falls Bears, Ryan Duhaime of the Mississauga St. Mike’s Majors, Spenser Cobbold of the Mississauga St. Mike’s Majors, Morgan Barr of the Arnpjrior Packers, Rob Ramsay of the Kanata Stallions, Matt Boudens of the Ottawa Junior Senators, Michael Webley of the Nepean Raiders, Justin Gilbert of the Brockville Braves, Devin Cobbold of the Gloucester Rangers, Zachery Hervato of the Kanata Stallions, Thomas Nesbitt of the Ottawa 67s, Michael Rowbotham of the Kemptville 73s, Cameron Odam of the Kingston Frontenaces, Michael Moreau of

Chris St. Germain is the treasurer while Julie Renaud is the secretary. Mark Pawlikowski is the ice convenor. With regard to the Kanata Stallions of the Central Canada Hockey League who will be playing the Carleton Place Canadians to wind up this Titans Day, the team was recently purchased by Cory Greer and Nick Urbisci from previous owner John Russo and as of next season, the team will be reverting to its original name, the Kanata Lasers. The Kanata Valley Lasers were founded in 1987 and retained that name until 2002 when new ownership changed the name to the Kanata Stallions. The team will continue playing in their Stallions jerseys until they are replaced for next season. The Lasers logo is also being re-designed.

for the development so that the large trees that are removed will be replaced by smaller trees, perhaps on the basis of ten smaller trees for each large one removed. He acknowledges that developing the site will mean that existing trees will not be able to be maintained due to new grading but he wants to make a case that the city insist on a tree replacement program for the site that will see trees with a larger caliper than the normal city requirement of two inch caliper trees be planted as part of the landscaping plan for the site. He said at the SVA executive meeting on Thursday, Jan. 9 that such a request may be ignored by the city but he feels that the SVA should at least provide such input.

Cameron Highlanders to be at Heritage Day celebration John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The military’s contribution to the early settlement of Goulbourn township will be highlighted at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s celebration for Heritage Day in February. The celebration, to be held at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Saturday, Feb. 15 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., will feature displays about the military aspects of Goulbourn’s early settlement including the involvement of disbanded soldiers of the 99th Regiment of Foot, many of whom were veterans of the War of 1812. Another feature of this Heritage Day celebration hosted by the Historical Society will be the presence of members of the Cameron Highlanders of today which has a history that includes the 43red Battalion with which some of Goulbourn’s militia were associated. The Cameron Highlanders representatives are expected to be in uniform and may even demonstrate a military drill. Those planning to attend this free Heritage Day event that is open to everyone in the community are urged to bring along any military

memorabilia in their possession such as wartime medals or photographs, not only from long ago but right up to the present. It was in Aug. 2013 that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II approved, with the concurrence of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh, the secondary title “Duke of Edinburgh’s Own” for the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa. This secondary title was granted in recognition of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa’s distinguished operational record and this military unit’s long relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. The Cameron Highlanders traces its history as a regiment back to the formation of the 43rd Battalion of Infantry in Oct. 1866. Known locally as the Carleton Blazers with headquarters in Bells Corners, it was responsible for infantry companies in the area including in Bells Corners, Goulbourn, Huntley, North Gower, Richmond and Metcalfe. In 1867, officers and men from all seven of these local companies gathered in Ottawa for the July 1st Confederation ceremonies on Parliament Hill. Three years later, in May 1870 saw the battalion experience its first active service resulting from fears of a Fenian invasion from the

United States. This threat led to the mobilization of militia units across Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. By late May, the whole 43rd Battalion which then amounted to nine infantry companies totaling about 400 officers and men were in Prescott, ready to oppose any invasion from across the St. Lawrence. The threat passed and on June 4 the Battalion returned to the Ottawa area. The Carleton Blazers or 43rd Battalion was disbanded in Dec. 1875 due to lack of participants. However, the regiment was re-formed in Ottawa in Aug. 1881 as the 43rd Ottawa and Carleton Battalion of Rifles which included rifle companies in Ottawa, Fitzroy and Vernon as well as in Quebec communities across the Ottawa River. One of these rifle companies, the 1st Ottawa Rifle Company, had existed since 1856 as the 1st Volunteer Militia Rifle Company of Ottawa and had served at Prescott alongside the Carleton Placers during the 1870 Fenian raid alert. A volunteer company of sharpshooters from Ottawa which included two members of the 43rd Battalion was formed and travelled west to combat the North West or Riel Rebel-

lion in 1885. One of these volunteers from the 43rd Battalion, Private William Osgoode, was among eight militia fatalities in the Battle of Cut Knife Hill in early May 1885. Subsequent history of what is now the Cameron Highlanders include participation by nearly 80 members in the Boer War; a name change in 1900 to the 43rd Regiment Ottawa and Carleton Rifles and then in 1902 to the 43rd Regiment, Duke of Cornwall’s Own Rifles. In World War One, the 43rd Regiment did not see overseas service itself but was used as a means to recruit and train soldiers for overseas service with other, new infantry battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, in particular the 2nd, 38th and 207th Battalions. During the inter-war years 1919 to 1939, the 43rd Regiment was re-organized and re-named on several occasions. In June 1923 an alliance with The Queen’s Own Cameron Highlanders in Scotland was officially announced. When the Second World War broke out in Sept. 1939, the regiment was ordered to mobilize for war. After the war, the regiment, known as the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, resumed its routine of training soldiers and participating in ceremonial duties.

International Women’s Day keeps getting better News – The program for the International Women’s Day celebration in Stittsville just keeps getting better and better. Besides former Ottawa police chief and now Senator Vern White, celebrity servers now on board include Stuntman Stu of local radio fame, Ottawa Fire Services chief John de Hooge and Stittsville resident John McManus who is counsel and team leader for War Crimes against Humanity with the federal Department of Justice. But celebrity servers will be just part of the attractions at the event. Students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School will be putting on a drama skit related to the event. In addition, costumed representatives from the Goulbourn Museum, wearing 19th century dress, will be on hand with the placards of that time advocating for women’s rights. And there’s more! Massages, reflexology and more. Giveaways galore. It’s all happening on Thursday, March 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Bistro fifty-four restaurant at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club on Springbrook Drive in Stittsville. Radio and TV personality Angie Poirier will be the MC for the evening. The keynote speaker will be Suzanne Pinel, a renowned entertainer known for the TV series “Marie-Soleil” who is now a citizenship judge and who has been honoured as a Member of the Order of Canada and a member of the Order of Ontario. Guest speaker will be Michelle Valberg, an award-winning Canadian photographer who has self-published two books including “Dare to Dream …A Celebration of Canadian Women.” The event is being hosted by Theresa Qadri, the Ottawa-Stittsville In-

ternational Women’s Day Committee and Distinctive Women magazine which profiles female corporate and community leaders. The Stittsville celebration will provide an opportunity for women to connect with peers, colleagues, friends and family while celebrating International Women’s Day. The evening will feature live music by Marie Tsoukanas. There will be a leading women award ceremony as well with the award presented to a woman who is making a difference in the community. There will be hors d’oeuvres and more including a cash bar . Tickets for the event will be $30 per person and are available now at Dandelion Kids Consignment Shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street. Tickets are also available at the Distinctive Women website. Everyone is welcome to attend, both men and women. This is meant to be an event where women and also men can come together to celebrate and to advocate for an equal role for women in society. This International Women’s Day celebration will be supporting the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health – Women For Mental Health, with donations for this charity accepted at the event. For more information about this International Women’s Day celebration in Stittsville, please contact Ashley Robson at 647-729-0945 or 905-580-5615 (cell) or via email at arobson@profilesofdistinction.com or Theresa Qadri at 613-620-6245 (cell) or via email at theresaq@rogers.com . International Women’s Day formally happens on March 8 every year. The event traces its history back to the earliest Women’s Day observances in 1908, 1909 and 1910. It was in 1911 that International Women’s Day was

marked for the first time after a 1910 International Women’s Conference had supported the holding of such a day to promote equal rights including suffrage for women. It was in 1914 that this new International Women’s Day was held on March 8, the date now universally recognized as International Women’s Day. From its official adoption in Russia following the Soviet Revolution in 1917, International Women’s Day was predominantly celebrated in communist and socialist countries including China from 1922 and Spain from 1936. In the West, International Women’s Day was first observed as a widespread event after 1977 when the United Nations General Assembly invited member states to proclaim March 8 as the United Nations Day for women’s rights and world peace. International Women’s Day now usually has a theme. The 2010 International Women’s Day focused on the hardships which women displaced by armed conflicts endure. The 2011 International Women’s

Day was a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the formal founding of the event. In the United States, president Barack Obama called on Americans to mark International Women’s Day by reflecting on the extraordinary accomplishments of women in shaping the country’s history. In 2012, the United Nations’ theme for International Women’s Day was “Empower rural women – End hunger and poverty.” In 2013, the United Nations theme The West Ottawa Ladies C h o r u s directed by Robert Dueck of Stittsville is holding its spring concert on Saturday, April 26 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road near Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

for International Women’s Day was “A promise is a promise: Time for action to end violence against women.” In recent years, International Women’s Day has been a celebration of the positives regarding women in the world rather than a focus on the negatives. International Women’s Day events around the world are meant to inspire women and to celebrate achievements.

Marguirite’s payback Rotary Trivia Night for being a show off Special to the News

Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - It was the year Marguirite appeared at the Northcote School all decked out in a white fur coat. She vowed it was the most expensive fur you could buy, but my brother Emerson and his best friend Cecil, after examining it closely, said it was nothing but plain rabbit. The very thought of the number of precious little rabbits, which I loved with a passion, that had lost their fur to make that coat, was enough to turn my stomach. And certainly didn’t do anything to make me like Marguirite any better. It was also the year we had more snow than anyone could remember. It was banked all around the school yard. At the back, where a board fence separated the yard from the open-air rink, the senior fourth boys had piled the snow high, creating a slide that only went downwards about two metres, but it was enough to give us lots of fun at recess, sliding down on our bottoms, or on openedup flat cardboard boxes the boys had hauled from Briscoe’s General Store. That day wasn’t any different from any other inside the one-room school house. Miss Crosby ran the place like an army general, and even though Marguirite wanted to keep her coat on, Miss Crosby wasn’t having any of that nonsense. “It’ll smell of cow byre,� Marguirite said, glaring at the boys who had to milk cows before coming to school. But one look from

Miss Crosby told her to get it off and hang it on a hook at the back of the room just like everyone else. We couldn’t wait for recess. The half hour would be spent sliding down the mound of snow in the school yard, and Miss Crosby had warned the senior fourth boys that everyone got a turn or they would suffer her wrath when recess was over. It didn’t take long for us girls to get on our snow suits, galoshes, hats and mitts, and the boys into their heavy jackets and gum rubbers, let me tell you. Just before we were heading out, Miss Crosby caught Marguirite by her sleeve and told her she had had a note from her Mother, and there was no sliding down the hill for her in her white fur coat. Well, there she stood at the bottom of the little mound, looking for all the world like an orphan as the rest of us careened down the little hill, squealing with delight all the way. Both Emerson and Cecil were standing at the top, and as soon as anyone fell to the mound to begin the slide, they gave a good push and away we went like a bullet, landing in the soft snow at the bottom. I was immediately suspicious of Emerson and Cecil, after they had whispered, grinned from ear to ear, and invited Marguirite to have a slide. “Don’t worry about your coat. You can sit on this big piece of cardboard, and you won’t even touch the snow.�

Well, it didn’t take long for Marguirite to scurry up the mound, grab a hold of the upper board of the rink fence and prepare herself to sit down on the cardboard the boys had put in place. Well, that’s when all heck broke loose. Just as she was lowering herself, Cecil grabbed the box tossing it aside, Emerson gave Marguirite a mighty push, and down she went, fur coat and all, to the bottom of the mound, screaming all the way. When she stopped, the coat was up around her neck, the fur hat was nowhere to be seen, and that day she had on blue fleeced lined bloomers like the rest of us. She went roaring into the school like someone possessed. By the time recess was over, Miss Crosby had the coat draped over a chair by the stove, and Cecil had brought in the white fur hat and handed it to the teacher saying with a voice like sugar, “Marguirite must have lost this.� Well, that was the end of the white fur coat at the Northcote School. Joyce said it didn’t look any the worse for wear when Marguirite came prancing into the United Church the next Sunday wearing it, and the hat. Even if Miss Crosby knew what had happened outside at the snow slide, she said nothing. My older and wiser sister Audrey said Miss Crosby probably wasn’t any more impressed with the white fur coat than were the rest of us at the Northcote School.

Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Lifestyle - Baked macaroni, or pie as it’s called in the Caribbean, is standard daily fare. Here ham is added to make this a casserole that can be served as a light meal or side dish. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Cooking time: eight minutes. Baking time: 40 to 45 minutes. Serves: six to eight. Ingredients * 250 g (8 oz) elbow pasta (about 375 ml/1-1/2 cups) * 15 ml (1 tbsp) butter * 500 ml (2 cups) shredded old cheddar cheese (about 125 g/4 oz) * 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) cubed ham (about 250 g/8 oz) * 2 eggs * 370 ml (1 can) two per cent evaporated milk * 1 small onion, finely chopped * 5 ml (1 tsp) dry mustard * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper Preparation In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta according to package the directions -- typically about eight minutes. Drain well and return the pasta to the pot. Stir in the butter until it’s melted. Add 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) of the cheese a bit at a time, mixing well after each addition. Next, stir in the ham. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. Add the onion, mustard, salt and pepper and stir it into the pasta mixture. Spread everything into a greased 2 L (eight-cup) baking dish and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until the mixture is set and the top is lightly browned. Let it stand for 10 minutes before serving.

So, you know that Emma Laight and Laura Devenny are good friends and this helps them carry out their prime ministerial duties. Emma and Laura campaigned together for their student council role, although they were on the ballot separately. However, the two 13 year old students are now working together to try to make sure that all grade seven and eight students have a year filled with fun and special activities such as the Halloween spirit week in the fall. Indeed, the planning and work involved in being co-prime ministers has not only got them move involved in school life but has made them even better friends, Laura says. Laura was on the student council last year when she was in grade seven but Emma was not as she was attending another school last year.

Plaque and digitization projects cost Historical Society $5,672.05 News - Over half of the expenditures of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society in 2013 revolved around two projects. Financial data released at the Society’s annual general meeting last Saturday showed that the Society spent $2,285.66 on its project erecting a plaque at the Methodist campgrounds in Stittsville and also spent

$3,386.39 on its project to digitize its family history research files. These files, when digitized, will be on the Historical Society’s designated computer at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Eventually the digitized files will be placed on the Society’s website. These two projects with a combined total expenditure of $5,672.05 accounted for over half of the So-

News – The Chapman Mills Sound Connection women’s barbershop chorus is look for more members. Women who love to sing and would like to try the barbershop style of music are invited to attend a prospective members’ night that is coming up. At this session, those interested in possibly joining the Chapman Mills Sound Connection will be able to learn about the barbershop style and discover the fun and friendship that arises from singing together with other women who also love to sing. This prospective members’ night is being held this coming Tuesday, Jan. 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Jockvale Heritage School at 3131 Jockvale Road in Barrhaven. There are singers from Stittsville as well as Barrhaven who currently are members of the Chapman Mills Sound Connection women’s barbershop chorus. The Chapman Mills Sound Connection, a women’s a cappella barbershop chorus under the direction of Karen Taylor, is a member of Harmony Inc., an international women’s barbershop singing organization which hosts regional competitions each spring. Choruses that qualify at these regional competitions get an

opportunity to participate in international competitions each fall. The barbershop style consists of singing four-part harmony in a cappella style to a variety of songs ranging from golden oldies through to well-known standards and from gospel to rock ‘n roll. Choreography is sometimes added to the more upbeat numbers. The Chapman Mills Sound Connection offers a learning program in vocal production and visual performance. No previous music experience is necessary to join the chorus. Practices are design to help improve singing skills. It’s fun singing with the Chapman Mills Sound Connection whether you are an experienced singer or a novice. There is minimal cost attached to belonging to the Chapman Mills Sound Connection other than a membership fee and incidentals such as costuming. Upon joining, a new member will be assigned to one of the four barbershop sections within the chorus. For more information about the Chapman Mills Sound Connection, check out the website http://soundconnection.yolasite.com/ or contact Maxine Mercer at 613-435-7441 or via email at maxinemercer@ nl.rogers.com .
