News - Lee MacKay of Stittsville, one of the most respected referees in the world of amateur wrestling, received a major award at the 61st annual Ottawa Sports Awards banquet on Wednesday, Jan. 29. He received the Lifetime Achievement Award – Technical Official award honouring his more than three decades as an international wrestling official. And what a record he has amassed since becoming an international official in 1978! He has refereed at all of the major international wrestling championships. He has officiated at the past three Olympic Games in London, Beijing and Athens as well as at 19 consecutive world senior wrestling championships from 1995

to the present. But this is only part of his officiating record. He has also officiated at eight world junior and espoir championships, seven European senior championships, six Pan American championships, four world cadet championships and two Commonwealth Games. He has also refereed at numerous major wrestling meets including the New York Athletic Club Holiday International Open. Mr. MacKay, who first became an international official in 1978, was promoted to the Exceptionelle category in 1995. He recently accepted a new challenge as a FILA instructor where he will contribute to officiating development while continuing to serve as a wrestling official. FILA is the international federation of associated wrestling styles. Indeed, FILA honoured Mr. MacKay by awarding him its Golden Whistle award at the 2013 world senior wrestling championships last fall. He is only the second Canadian to win this award which is considered the most prestigious officiating honour in wrestling. It is given to those who are considered to have made an outstanding contribution to wrestling in the world. Mr. MacKay wrestled as a student at Sir Robert Borden High School in Nepean.

Coaching Excellence Award to Cathy Skinner Special to the News

Figure skating coach Cathy Skinner of Stittsville has been honoured by a national coaching body. She has received the Petro Canada Coaching Excellence Award presented by the Coaching Association of Canada. Cathy Skinner has been a coach with the Goulbourn Skating Club and its predecessors, the Stittsville Figure Skating Club and the Richmond Skating Club, for the past 20 years. In Jan. 2013, she travelled to Pyeongchang in South Korea for the Special Olympics World Winter Games as a coach for Team Canada where her four athletes won a total of three gold medals and three silver medals. These world medalist performances result in her nomination by both Skate Canada and Special Olympics Canada to receive the Petro Canada coaching Excellence Award. Cathy travelled to Calgary for the presentation of the award as well as to attend the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) sports leadership conference along with other world and Olympic coaches from across Canada and around the world. Currently Cathy is head coach of the Special Olympics program of the Goulbourn Skating Club which includes 19 athletes of varying abilities at present. She recently accompanied Goulbourn Skating Club Special Olympics athletes to Frankford, Ontario

for the Special Olympics Ontario provincial qualifier and invitational competition. With the Goulbourn Skating Club, Cathy has also coached in its Skate Canada, Canskate and Starskate programs in addition to her involvement with the Club’s Special Olympics program. Goulbourn Skating Club president Kevin Timmins is high in his praise of Cathy Skinner and her coaching ability and passion. “Having known Cathy for a great number of years in both a personal and professional setting, I can’t think

of anyone more deserving of such an hour,” president Timmins said. “Not only are her technical and teaching abilities at the highest of levels but the passion in which she dedicates herself to the athletes, their families, and the promotion of the sport of figure skating and the Special Olympics program are unsurpassed,” he continued. “All of us at the Goulbourn Skating Club couldn’t be happier for Cathy as this is a recognition that is very well deserved.” The Coaching Association of Canada (CAC) is a body that is working to raise the skills and stature of coaches and through its programs is trying to provide coaches with knowledge and skills, is promoting ethics, is fostering positive attitudes, is building competence and is trying to increase the credibility and recognition of coaches. All of this is being done so that quality coaching can enhance the performances of athletes in Canada. The Petro Canada Coaching Excellence Awards are presented to recognize coaches whose athletes excel at world championships, Olympic and Paralympic Games and at the Special Olympics World Games. The awards are presented at an annual sport leadership awards ceremony during the Petro Canada Sport Leadership Conference, with the presentations taking place for the recipients before their peers. National sport organizations are responsible for nominating eligible coaches.

Ottawa Sports Awards honours Lee MacKay of Stittsville Continued from page 1

He then turned to officiating at the age of 18, beginning a career that now, 41 years later, has seen him recognized as one of the most respected referees in amateur wrestling in the world. As a referee in wrestling, he has been a driving force in Canada in raising the standards of excellence. His leadership and expertise have assisted many other officials at all levels, both in Canada and around the world. Mr. MacKay serves as coeditor of Canadian Wrestling Rules and as such he is continually approached by national officials and coaches to provide rule interpretations.

He has also served as a clinician or head official at many national and international championships. At the international level, he serves on the referees’ commission which provides opinions on various rules, all with a view to making the sport better and more appealing. He says that in his view, what makes a good referee in wrestling is impartiality, just like a referee in any other sport. He also says that a referee also has to know the sport well and such knowledge increases the longer a person stays involved with the sport. He says that at the higher levels of competition like the Olympics and world championships, the action is much

faster and things happen in the blink of an eye. “You have to be very much aware of what’s going on,” he says, adding that at these higher levels, a referee has to try to anticipate what could happen in order to be ready for it. Mr. MacKay calls receiving the Ottawa Sports Award Lifetime Achievement Award a nice surprise and notes that he has had a lot of help along the way to allow him to pursue his involvement in wrestling including the support of his employer, the Ottawa Catholic School Board. A teacher at St. Paul Catholic High School in Ottawa, Mr. MacKay has also coached youth wrestling for the past 35 years and has often coached

high school teams in other sports as well. Still staying with wrestling, the individual sport award winner for wrestling at this Ottawa Sports Awards ceremony was 24 year old Erica Wiebe, a Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduate from Stittsville. Erica was the 2013 Canadian champion in the women’s 72kg category in wrestling and represented Canada at several major international competitions throughout the year. She won bronze medals at the Pan American championships and at the FISU Games. She made her world championship debut in Hungary, winning her first two matches before falling to the 2012 Olympic champion from Russia en route to a seventh place finish overall. Erica currently trains out of the University of Calgary. The Ottawa Sports Awards also honours Ottawa teams which have won provincial, national or international championships during the past year. Among those honoured was the Joyce Potter Curling Team which won the Ontario Women’s Masters Provincial Championship. One member of this team is Jennifer Langley of Richmond. The Nepean Ravens Belle

Lee MacKay “AA” Ringette Team won both Ontario and national championships. A member of this team is Jodie Hache of Richmond. Also honoured was the Stittsville 56’ers Midget Boys Softball Team, Ontario Amateur Softball Association (OASA) provincial champions in 2013. Members of this team are Jon Assad, Luc d’Entremont, Jeff Heika, Spencer Lee, Russ McFall, Braden McGinnis, Luke Moore, James Mullan, Matt Pavia, Kyle Tapp, Jimmy Tokaryk and Riley Walsh. Ellen d’Entremont is the team manager while Dean Lee, Paul d’Entremont, Andrew Mullan and Craig Pavia are the coaches.

The Stittsville Bantam Girls Selects Softball Team was also honoured for being the Ontario Provincial Champions in 2013. Players on this team are Sara Prebinski, Kayla Prebinski, Kylie Phanenhour, Sara Entwistle, Darian Peeling, Jenny David, Brooke Boss, Sam Dodd, Taylor Kotuba, Erika Geoffrion and Marcie Patterson. Paul Prebinski is the head coach with Phil Entwistle and Darren Staal as assistant coaches and Emese Geoffrion and Julie Prebinski as managers. Barclay Frost of Munster is a director on the organizing committee for these annual Ottawa Sports Awards. The Ottawa Sports Awards honours the male and female athletes of the year, the male and female team of the year and the male and female coach of the year as well as presenting the Mayor’s Cup for outstanding contribution to sport in Ottawa, the Brian Kilrea Lifetime Achievement Coaching Award, the Mark Lowry Memorial Award for Lifetime Achievement as a Sports Volunteer or Administrator, the Lifetime Achievement Award for a Technical Official which Lee MacKay received, A special Recognition Award, 63 individual sport awards and honours for Ottawa teams that have won provincial, national or international championships in the past year.

Blood donor clinic in Stittsville Special to the News

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

At Westwind Public School

News - There’s a community blood donor clinic coming up in Stittsville. Canadian Blood Services is hosting the clinic which will run in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 19. To book an appointment for this blood donor clinic, visit the website www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-2366283).

There is always a need for blood donations and the need is ongoing. It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to ďŹ ve donors are needed to provide the blood to help

Bruno Kondrick is a new vice-principal at Westwind Public School. This is his 14th year as a school administrator. He began his teaching career in 1993 and most recently was at Jack Donohue Public School in Kanata.

National House of Prayer topic at ‘Drop-In’ session Special to the News

7,&2

News - You will learn all about the National House of Prayer in Ottawa if you attend the “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-Inâ€? at the Community Bible Church in Stittsville on Monday, Feb. 10. All seniors in the area are welcome and encouraged to attend this free event which will include not only a presentation on the National House of Prayer but also coffee and home baked sweets. Rob Parker, who is founder and director of the National House of Prayer along with his wife Fran, will be at this “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-Inâ€? session to tell about the history and purpose of this Ottawa facility. The National House of Prayer, which has been called an “Embassy of Prayerâ€? in the nation’s capital, was established in 2005 with a commitment to pray for the government of Canada and its leaders. It is located in a former convent on Myrand Avenue in Ottawa where it has 35 beds to allow it to host visiting prayer teams. The idea developed following Mr. Parker’s 73 day Prayer Walk from Calgary to Ottawa in the spring of the year 2000. The purpose of this Prayer Walk was to elevate the role of prayer in the nation and to call on God to bring His healing to the land. Mr. Parker moved to Ottawa in 2004 to initiate the National House of Prayer. You can hear all about the National House of Prayer and what it does at this upcoming “Wise Guys and Gals Dro-Inâ€? on Monday, Feb. 10 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Community Bible Church on Stittsivlle Main Street. Seniors of all or no religious afďŹ liation are welcome to attend. For more information, please check out the website www.cbcstittsville.com or call the Community Bible Church at 613-836-2606.

someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-proďŹ t charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate orga-

nization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Stittsville is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

She admits that she is dedicated to the sport of hockey, calling herself a good passer. “I like to pass,� she says about her play. Tori calls hockey a really fun sport because she gets to know more people and gets to make new friends on her team. She is involved with hockey year-round, taking part in on-ice training at the Bell Sensplex during the summer. But while hockey is her great passion, it is not the only sport on her agenda. She plays competitive soccer for the West Ottawa Soccer Club. A forward, she plays in the summer, finding it good exercise and also a “really fun� sport that also serves as physical training for her hockey. Tori is also a competitive swimmer, specializ-

This year she hurt her knee playing rugby, a

condition that delayed the start of her hockey season. However, the knee is now better and she is busy playing hockey. She hopes to try out for the school’s hockey team as well as for the school’s track team. Last year, in grade six at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville, she competed in track, finishing first in most of her races. Indeed, her athletic prowess was recognized at St. Stephen Catholic School last year as she was awarded the athlete of the year award. Perhaps in keeping with her interest in athletics, Tori says that her favourite subject in school is gym. She attributes this to the fact that she is athletic and likes to run around. But she says that she also likes to write. Tori walks her black German Shepherd dog called Sky every day. Sky was trained as a seeing eye dog but failed to meet the requirements, bringing about her adoption by Tori’s family.

Hydro Ottawa named top employer in National Capital Region for sixth consecutive year

Hydro Ottawa has been recognized as a Top Employer in the National Capital Region (NCR) for its dedication to employee, workplace and community engagement. The annual editorial competition, which forms part of Canada’s Top 100 Employers, recognizes the region’s most exceptional places to work by identifying those employers that lead in attracting and retaining employees. This is the sixth consecutive year Hydro Ottawa has been honoured. The award comes after a successful year of giving back to the community, with Hydro Ottawa raising a record-breaking total of $228,415 for the United Way Ottawa through its Brighter Tomorrows Fund, and a “Go Paperless� E-Billing campaign that will result in more than 14,000 trees being planted in the Ottawa area this spring.

Friendship Club AGM puts executive in place John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

$1,300 from the city to help with its programming and other expenses. The Club also benefits from a reduced rental charge for city facilities. City administration is currently debating a policy that might see senior groups receive one or the other – a grant or reduced rental rates for the use of city facilities. In the case of the Friendship Club,

this would mean giving up the grant since the reduction in rental rates for the use of city facilities is worth much more than the grant to the Club. However, the city has not yet made a decision on the matter as to whether to change the current situation or not. Friendship Club members enjoyed beef stew and apple crisp for dessert

at the luncheon that preceded the annual general meeting. The Club’s February luncheon on Wednesday, Feb. 26, the last Wednesday of the month, will feature chicken on the menu. The luncheon will also include entertainment. The Friendship Club is holding its winter (until March) monthly luncheons at the Legion Hall in Stittsville. R0012539528

News - Carole Herbert is continuing as president of the Friendship Club. She was re-elected at the Club’s annual general meeting following its January luncheon at the Stittsville Legion Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Shirley Pretty returns as the Club treasurer while Lorraine Gillies continues to look after membership and Helen James remains in charge of correspondence. Others on the executive committee for the coming year are Rosemary Morin in charge of entertainment, Mary Lou Rankin as inventory/recording secretary and Gloria Stewart as past president. President Carole Herbert told those at the annual general meeting that past president Gloria Stewart is still in hospital but is coming along. She reported that the Friendship Club had received a thank you note from the Stittsville Food Bank for the donations which had been made to the Food Bank at the Club’s Christmas luncheon. She noted that participants in the various activities hosted by the Club such as carpet bowling, bridge and euchre must be members of the Friendship Club to be covered by the Club’s insurance when taking part in

these activities. She also told the club members that currently the Club is waiting for the city of Ottawa to make a decision on what its policy will be with regard to senior groups in terms of receiving city grants and paying rent for the use of city facilities.

Hudak has much to prove

T

here’s something peculiar in the wind blowing across the province since the turn of the calendar year. While many might hope for the sweet smell of spring, they’ll be disappointed to learn it’s only the stale odour of a provincial election, which threatens to extend Ontario’s long winter. News from Queen’s Park is flying thick and fast, with both the ruling Liberals and opposition Progressive Conservatives ramping up the rhetoric in advance of what will surely be an election this April or May. From Premier Kathleen Wynne pledging to raise the minimum wage to PC leader Tim Hudak promising to bring more than a million jobs to the province, our leaders are suddenly bursting with plans to make our lives better than they have been for much of the past six years. Six years. That’s how long it’s been since world financial markets melted down, plunging the global economy into a tailspin it is just now showing signs of pulling out of, at least in a manner that most of us would notice. That recovery isn’t extending to everyone in equal measure, however. Here in Ontario, the jobless rate still exceeds the national average. Kickstarting the economy needs to be top priority for the premier’s office, no matter who occupies it.

Which brings us to Hudak. After more than 10 years in power, what provincial Liberals have to offer has been on display for quite a while, even after a year under Wynne’s leadership. If NDP leader Andrea Horwath has anything to contribute outside of support for the Liberals, she’s keeping it to herself. So it falls largely to Hudak to offer the province a new way forward. What has he proposed? Through a combination of balanced budgets, lower energy costs and taxes, and “right to work� legislation, he plans to put the open for business sign back in the front window. Unfortunately, he offers little detail on how he’ll get this done. Yet that formula would lead to drastic changes from what Ontarians have been used to over the past 15 years. Are we prepared for that? Balancing the budget can certainly be accomplished, but cuts would need to be particularly deep if they are to facilitate both getting back into the black and lowering taxes. Lowering hydro costs is also far from easy: the hole dug on the energy file by the Liberals is very deep – getting out of it won’t come without further cost, let alone smaller bills for consumers and businesses. Hudak needs to better explain how he intends to accomplish his goals if voters are to feel confident offering their support when the writ is dropped.

Coming to terms with our Canadian winter

P

art of being Canadian involves bragging to people from warmer climes about how cold it is up here. Another part of being Canadian is wanting to get out of the cold. So, now this will be interesting – Winterlude and the Olympics at the same time. One is trying to get you out of the house; the other is tempting you to stay in. How you resolve that is up to you, but the choice says something about the way we winter in this country. Half of our national make-up glorifies our climate and takes pride in getting out there and conquering it. The other half says: “Turn up the heat, close the doors and what’s on TV?� Now, it’s entirely possible that what’s on TV will drive you outside. Much as everyone enjoys watching the skiing, the skating, the hockey and the luge, much of the TV coverage of the Olympics is not about skates, skis, hockey sticks and luges. It is about the networks that are carrying them. We know that from their advance commercials. This is their chance to shine, they all figure, and their big-name personalities will be featured at length and maybe we’ll get to watch some Olympic events, too, between all the grinning and cheerleading.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town A few hours of TV and radio self-obsession might impel you out the door to check out what Winterlude has to offer. Now, Winterlude has had a mixed history. It began its existence as something that clogged up the Rideau Canal ice with horses and TV personalities and corporate sponsors so that no one could have a decent skate. No less a person than former NCC chairman Douglas Fullerton, the father of canal skating, went public with the idea that the “rink,� as he called it, was for skating, not for standing around and watching stuff. But eventually, the Winterlude people got a handle on that, moved many of the events off the ice, got more and more local businesses involved, reached out to the arts community and created a bigger, yet somehow better festival.

One difference this year is that the National Capital Commission, which initiated Winterlude and has run it for decades, is no longer doing so. Now it’s the Department of Canadian Heritage. A message from the minister in the program announces that this year’s Winterlude will be highlighting the 100th anniversary of the First World War, not exactly a fun time, and the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown and Quebec Conferences. A Winterlude celebration of constitutional conferences: there’s an ice sculpture challenge for you. And there’s maybe another reason to rush home and turn on the tube. And there, back at the Olympics, we will notice how the politicians, the broadcasters and the sports bureaucrats always find a way to get in the way of the athletes. To that, we can now add the security services. Occasionally the cheerleading will be interrupted by traditional laments for the demise of the purity of sport. This will give us the opportunity to remember that sports must, at one time, have been pure, and try to think what that would have looked like. Before the bureaucrats, the corporations, the broadcasters, the politicians, the security services and drug testers got in the way, Olympic sport was about the individual athlete. It was

not about the individual athlete’s nationality. But then countries began keeping score and all of a sudden nationalism was added to the Olympic movement’s many problems. Canadians, of course, are among the worst offenders. When our hockey teams are on the ice, nothing can keep us from cheering on our country, not even a Winterlude celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference. We know that this isn’t really what the Olympics is supposed to be about, but we can’t help ourselves. Maybe we should get out of the house more. Except that it’s winter.

Notice to Owners/Residents Notice of Study Commencement and Public Open House Highway 417–Pinecrest Road Interchange Eastbound Transit Operational Improvements THE STUDY The City of Ottawa has retained MMM Group Ltd. to complete the detail design for eastbound transit operational improvements at the Highway 417–Pinecrest Road interchange. The study area is identified on the map.

Zone Chair visits Stittsville Lions

The objective of this project is to improve transit service by removing the requirement for eastbound transit vehicles to merge with highway traffic between Pinecrest Road and the Southwest Transitway. The scope of the project includes modifications to the Southeast directional ramp and relocation of existing utilities and signage to accommodate ramp modifications. The design of these improvements will take into consideration the ultimate cross-section of Highway 417, which will incorporate four lanes of traffic in each direction. THE PROCESS While this is a City of Ottawa project, the work is being carried out within the Highway 417 corridor and will follow the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). Upon completion of the detail design, a Design and Construction Report will be prepared and filed for a 30-day public review period.

News - Exposure and awareness in the community should be an ongoing goal of a Lions Club, Zone Chair for 30 West Lion Carolyn Hardie told members of the Stittsville District Lions Club at its meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 29. “People forget just how great the Lions Club is and all the work they do,” she said in urging the Lions to keep letting the community know what the Lions Club is doing. And this means creating awareness not only of a Club’s work in the local community but also of all the work that Lions International does around the world. It’s important for people to know that Lions work goes on beyond the efforts made locally by the local Club, she said. A member of the Kemptville Lions Club, she told how the Lions in Kemptville have promoted awareness with ideas such as placemats telling the history of the Kemptville Lions Club, its fundraising and vision-care work and the work of Lions International, a community BBQ, selling Christmas trees in partnership with the Ferguson Forest, maintaining a local traffic circle and lots of public relations in the newspaper. Walk-in registration for the 2014 fast-pitch softball season of the Stittsville Minor Softball Association (SMSA) will take place on Wednesday, March 19 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the upstairs room at Stittsville Sobeys at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road in Stittsville. Registration can also be done online at www.stittsvillesoftball.org as of Saturday, Feb. 1.

Two tournament victories for Stittsville Spartans Sports - Two victories in their past two tournaments, including a double overtime victory over a team from Beijing in the recent Bell Capital Cup. First place in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League’s Atom A division. Yes, it’s becoming a season to remember for the Stittsville Spartans. In the Bell Capital Cup which ran from Dec. 28 to Jan. 1, the Stittsville Spartans went undefeated through round robin play in the Atom House “A” division, beating the Cumberland Dukes, the Nepean Cyclones and the South End Ice Warriors.

In individual competition in the tournament’s Atom A Skills Competition, the Spartans’ Jack Quirion and Josh Lapointe won the shoot-out competition. Moving on to quarter-final playoff action, the Spartans defeated the Nepean Dominators 3-0 and then downed the Almonte Thunder 4-1 in semi-final action to advance to the finals. In these finals, the Stittsville Spartans went up against the Beijing Snow Leopards who had only allowed two goals up to that point in the tournament. The Snow Leopards went ahead 2-0 in this final game but a second

period goal by Noah Brigden got the Spartans back in the game. But then Beijing scored again, once again putting the Spartans down by two goals, 3-1. But the Spartans kept coming and in the middle of the third period, Owen Riedel scored for the Spartans to narrow the score to 3-2. This is how the score stayed until late in the third period when the Snow Leopards drew a penalty. The Spartans pulled their goalie, putting out six skaters who dominated the Snow Leopards. And with only 2.3 seconds left on the clock, Josh Lapointe scored for

the Spartans to tie up the game, sending it into overtime. The first overtime session of fouron-four hockey solved nothing and so it was on to the second overtime period with three-on-three play. Midway through this second overtime session, Josh Lapointe scored again for the Spartans, giving the Spartans the Bell Capital Cup Atom House “A” championship trophy and banner. The Stittsville Spartans travelled to Russell on the weekend of Jan. 24-26 to play in the Russell Winter Freeze tournament. The Spartans kept up their winning ways in this

tournament, defeating the Metcalfe Jets 9-1 and the Nepean Team B 8-1 in round robin action. In quarter-final play, the Spartans outscored the Nepean Caves 5-1 and then downed the Metcalfe Jets 3-1 in semi-final play. In the ensuing finals, the Spartans used their team work to defeat the West End Warriors by a 4-1 score. This was the Spartans’ third tournament championship so far this season. The team has compiled a record of 38 wins, two losses and three ties so far this season which now sees the team head into the playoffs.

They were dressed in black with ties appropriately adorned with keyboards. And the Hallmark Quartet took up where the Northern Stars Chorus left off, with more songs presented with four-part harmonies, granted with only four voices rather than eight. Their offerings included “Slow Boat to China,” a 1948 song that has been covered by many artists over the years including Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald and Fats Domino; “Up the Lazy River,” the 1930 Hoagy Carmichael song JOHN CURRY/METROLAND that also has been recorded by a virtual who’s Members of the Hallmark Quartet who provided their barbershop melodies at the Friday who of the music industry over the years; and music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday are, from “Flash!

The Northern Stars Chorus has been singing barbershop music together for over 20 years. The group’s objective has been to provide men with a place where they can have fun while learning to sing with good vocal technique in four part harmony, all a cappella which means without musical instruments but not without music.

Canada needs robust navy, Lions told John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Canada needs to continue to support a robust, appropriately funded navy, retired Royal Canadian Navy officer Richard Archer told members of the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Club’s meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 29. Mr. Archer, speaking n behalf of the Naval Association of Canada, argued that Canada depends on the seas for both its prosperity and its security, so that a strong navy is needed both to protect Canada’s home waters and to carry out duties in the far corners of the world. A 36 year veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy who not only commanded ships but served at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Mr. Archer said that a strong, capable navy is crucial for Canada in a number of areas including national security and support for others around the world. He argued that Canada, with coasts on three oceans, is very much a maritime nation. He pointed out that only two provinces, Alberta and Sas-

katchewan, do not have a salt water coastline. He said that 90 percent of the world’s trade occurs on the

oceans, creating a reliance on shipping routes for both imports and exports. Safeguarding these routes is a job for the

navy, he said. Mr. Archer said that the next big international dispute will be about the coastal ju-

risdiction in the Arctic, noting that the United States and Canada at present disagree on the status of the Northwest

Mr. Archer spoke on behalf of the Naval Association of Canada about the need for a robust Canadian navy in the future.

Passage through the Arctic and whether it is open seas or inland waters. He said that Canada will not be taken seriously in discussions about the Arctic if it has no viable navy. He also noted that if Canadians want to help oppressed people in the world, the country has to invest in the Canadian navy so that Canadian ships can travel to the far corners of the world to help in various trouble spots. Right now Canada has a number of shipbuilding projects in the works such as new support ships, Arctic offshore patrol ships and surface combat ships. However, Mr. Archer recognizes that governments usually have a short term view and so such an expensive undertaking for ships could be in jeopardy, especially since the Navy is receiving less federal government funding all the time now. He said that Canadians need the federal government to ensure that appropriate funding will be available so that Canada can build these new ships, allowing it to continue to maintain its current world class navy.

BMO Bank of Montreal is here! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - BMO Bank of Montreal is now in Stittsville. Its new full service banking branch - a $1.7 million investment in the community – opened last Monday at 9 a.m. at 5673 Hazeldean Road at the Food Basics/Toys ‘R Us shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive. It is not only the first BMO Bank of Montreal branch in the Stittsville area but also represents a couple of firsts for BMO branches in the Ottawa area. It is the first BMO branch in Ottawa to have an electronic vault attendant that allows self-serve safety deposit boxes. Gone are the days of having to be accompanied by a staff member – now a client can gain access alone thanks to the use of hand print technology. A high five and in you go! This new Hazeldean Road branch is also the first BMO Bank of Montreal branch in the Ottawa area to have Sunday hours as it is offering seven day a week banking. Hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Wednesday; 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday and Friday;

9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday; and noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday. This new branch also features not only state-of-the-art technology like the electronic vault attendance and a simpleto-use bulk coin counter that will count loose change (no more wrapping up coins) but due to the diversity of its staff, the branch can offer service in 11 different languages, ranging from English and French to Japanese, Korean and Ukrainian. It’s like a mini-United Nations but that’s just how the staffing process worked out. Branch manager Michael Posternak praises this staff that has been assembled for this new branch, calling it a “very talented team” that is highly energized and eager to meet new customers. “The team in the building sets the stage,” he says in explaining the importance of a committed staff. The branch features an open concept design, with open lines of sight throughout the interior, a design feature that emphasizes the branch’s focus on customers. Indeed, as branch manager Michael Posternak says, “Our focus is on interactions rather than transactions.” It is the

customer which takes priority, a fact perhaps best exemplified by the red-seat stools on which customers can sit if they wish when dealing with a customer service representative at the teller counter. Why have to stand when you can sit! This branch has two ATM machines, one in the drivethru and one in the front lobby, with both accessible 24 hours a day. This new branch also offers all of the services associated with banking – commercial services, investment and retirement planning, mortgages, credit cards and a 24 hour depository for after hours use by small businesses. The central open area of the branch is surrounded by an exterior of individual glassenclosed offices, all featuring puck-like overhead lighting and wide-open views both ways – looking out and looking in. The new branch features a spacious parking lot for customer convenience. Branch manager Michael Posternak has been involved in banking since 1997, initially in the United States. In 2009, he moved to Canada and joined BMO Bank of Montreal. He had been the

He is planning on moving to Stittsville. And he’s happy to be working in Stittsville! “BMO is honoured to be a part of this vibrant community, and looks forward to establishing a lasting presence in Stittsville while contributing to its continued growth,” he said. BMO Bank of Montreal is one of Canada’s so-called

“big five” banks. It ranks as the fourth largest bank in Canada by market capitalization and based on assets and is the eleventh largest bank in all of North America. It was founded in 1817 as the Bank of Montreal, making its Canada’s oldest continuing bank. Like other Canadian banks, Bank of Montreal issued its own paper money from 1817 until 1942. Over the years, Bank of Montreal has merged or acquired several other Canadian

banks including the Commercial Bank of Canada in 1868, The People’s Bank of Halifax in 1905, the People’s Bank of New Brunswick in 1907 and the Molson Bank in 1925. The BMO Financial Group, the bank’s overall body, is a diversified North American financial services organization with more than 45,000 employees, offering a range of personal and commercial banking, wealth management and investment banking products.

Even BMO mascot at opening John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was there. BMO Bank of Montreal regional vice-president of personal banking for Ottawa Suburban Ernie Schroeder was there. And, yes, so was BMO The Bear, the BMO Bank of Montreal’s tall blue mascot. They were among those at the opening of the new BMO Bank of Montreal at 5673 Hazeldean Road at the Food Basics/Toys ‘R Us shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive in Stittsville last Monday, Feb. 3 at 9 a.m. Also at the opening, in the role of customers, were Jacques Lajoie, who was the first customer to use the ATM in the branch’s lobby area, doing so several minutes before the 9 a.m. branch opening, and, then, about 9:25 a.m., the branch’s first customers entered, namely Sherry and Martin Passfield and Cheryl Cirka, all from Stittsville and all longtime BMO Bank of Montreal customers who up until now have had to travel outside the community for their banking services. No longer! For opening day, the branch’s open concept interior was adorned with white and blue helium-filled balloons, floating in bunches here and there around the space. There were some beside a table filled with BMO Bank of Mon-

treal memorabilia like pens and more balloons beside a table with water bottles and cookies for customers. Customers on this opening day were able to enter a free draw for a gift basket donated by Hallmark in Stittsville. And don’t forget the giant blue and white frosted celebratory cake that looked so good! Minutes before the scheduled 9 a.m. opening, branch manager Michael Posternak assembled the staff for a last minute pep talk. With BMO The Bear, the bank’s mascot, beside him and a bouquet of blue and white balloons floating in the background, manager Posternak told the staff members that they were founding members of a new branch that would be serving future generations of Stittsville residents. He called being part of opening a new branch a challenging and exciting opportunity, noting that the branch was a state-of-the-art facility. But he added that by far the most precious asset at this new BMO Bank of Montreal branch was “the team” of staff members that will be serving the customers. City councillor Shad Qadri and regional vice-president Ernie Schroeder both offer brief congratulatory remarks before, after a rousing “We can do it!” from manager Posternak, all of the staff gathered at the branch’s entrance and right at 9 a.m. slide open the steel folding door. The branch was open for business!

News - The corporate colour of the BMO Bank of Montreal is blue, much like that of the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. And city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was at the 9 a.m. opening of the new BMO Bank of Montreal branch at 5673 Hazeldean Road at the Food Basics/Toys ‘R Us shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road

and Huntmar Drive in Stittsville last Monday, did not let the blue colour go unnoticed. “It’s great to have a blue coloured team in town,” he said in reference to the BMO Bank of Montreal staff who were wearing blue BMO jerseys for the opening, quickly adding that he was not referring to the Toronto Maple Leafs and swiftly noting that Stittsville was still a hotbed of Ottawa Senators support. Hockey, it seems, is never far from the surface in Canadian and, more specifically, Stittsville society.

Giant Tiger collecting donations for Nancy Therrien Special to the News

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Leigh Carroll, left, a friend of Nancy and Luc Therrien, and Cathy Nelson, right, head cash supervisor at Giant Tiger in Stittsville, hold one of the donation boxes that Leigh created to help with the fundraising for Nancy Therrien and her battle against cancer which is now going on at the Giant Tiger store.

News - The Giant Tiger store in the Jackson Trails Plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville is currently collecting donations to help Nancy Therrien. Cashiers at the store are asking customers if they wish to make a donation to help the cause, suggested at two dollars but any amount is welcome. Leigh Carroll, a Therrien family friend, who approached Giant Tiger for this fundraising initiative, made up donation boxes featuring a brief explanation of Nancy’s cancer fight and bearing two photos – one of the Stittsville Glass & Signs shop with a “Go, Sens, Go� display and another with Nancy holding her dog Sugar Bear wearing a Sens logo on his forehead. Giant Tiger is also talking of holding a fundraising BBQ in support of Nancy in the spring. Helping out with fundraising is nothing new for Stittsville’s Giant Tiger. In the past it has held fundrais-

ing BBQ’s for, among other causes, the Humane Society and Nelson House, a shelter for abused women. It also asks customers for donations on occasion through its “Tiger Paw� program and Giant Tiger customers have proven to be pretty generous in the past. It was early this fall when Nancy Therrien went for an MRI scan because she had been experiencing back problems. Shortly after this, before hearing any results, she had to be rushed to hospital with breathing problems. This led to a diagnosis of lung cancer, with the breathing problems caused by blood clots circulating all through her body. It was said that she probably had only 48 hours or so to live had she not arrived at the hospital when she did. It turns out that these blood clots are a by-product of her lung cancer which is not caused by smoking but is a non-smokers version of lung cancer. A large tumour was found on her lung, a tumour which the earlier MRI scan ended up detecting as well. Because of the size of the tumour,

surgery is not possible at this time. So, it means an aggressive program of chemotherapy and then radiation to try to shrink the tumour and drive it into remission. And so Nancy had begun her chemotherapy treatments, twice a month, with the hope that the size of the tumour would be reduced and radiation could be started. This has now happened. What has been really worrying Nancy and her husband Luc is how they are going to pay for some of the additional shots and pills that she requires to fight this form of lung cancer. As long struggling small business people, young and not expecting such disastrous health news, they have never subscribed to any additional health coverage. Perhaps they should have but there were always so many other bills and expenses that needed paying. This means that they are facing some pretty serious financial bills. For instance, to prevent the blood clots which this form of lung cancer produces, Nancy must have a shot every day. And the cost? Five shots cost $495. And these shots have to continue daily until the cancer goes away or is in total remission. And then there’s some pills that she has to take. Three pills cost over $100. A bank account to help out Nancy Therrien has been opened at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville where donations can be made. The bank account number to quote when making such a donation at the branch is 3281 6140429. Or if you just identify the donation as being for Nancy Therrien and her battle against cancer, your donation will be directed to the right spot. And while the odds of recovering from her form of lung cancer are only a 20 percent survival rate, Nancy feels that her youth (she’s only 45 years old) is on her side.

Record attendance gets Film Series off to great start john.curry@metroland.com

News - Record attendance on the opening night of this year’s Rotary International Film Series on Thursday evening, Jan. 23 at Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum to see the Academy Award nominated Danish film “The Hunt” has gotten the series, now in its second year, off to a great start. Coming up next in this 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series is the movie “Inside Llewyn Davis,” a film whose cast includes Oscar Isaac as Llewyn Davis as well as well know actors like John Goodman and Justin Timberlake.

This United States film will be shown on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata. This 2013 production is 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 nomi-

nations 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 at 7 p.m., the movie “Gloria,” a production from Chile, will be the third film shown in this year’s 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 at 7 p.m., this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 will conclude with the screening of “The

The cause of the fire is unknown but a speedy response by firefighters kept the fire confined to the basement area. It touched the flooring for the first floor but did not burst through. A lot of the store’s flooring was replaced and a new furnace installed. Fortunately the fire did not ignite a tank of coal oil which was in the basement. Coal oil, which people used for lamps at that time, was pumped up from this basement tank by a pump located near the store’s main door. Had this tank of coal oil ignited, the fire could have been much worse. The store was not closed down for too long because of the fire.

Family donates Colonel Burke’s medal to Goulbourn Museum Kurt Johnson Special to the News

News – For 160 years a silver military medal with the image of a young Queen Victoria has been lovingly passed down the generations of the family of Colonel George Thew Burke who was a hero in the War of 1812 and who went on to become the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818. To honour the memory of this Goulbourn pioneer leader, his present-day descendants Scott and Elizabeth Baylis, who are brother and sister, recently donated their family heirloom military medal to the Goulbourn Museum. Members of the public will be able to see this Burke military medal on Monday, Feb. 17, which is the Family Day holiday in Ontario, when the medal will have a prominent place in the Goulbourn Museum’s renewed exhibit for the 100th Regiment of Foot whose discharged soldiers were among the original pioneer settlers of Goulbourn township. The renewed exhibit with the Burke medal will be unveiled at the Museum’s Family Day event which will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 17 with everyone welcome to attend. Admission is free. Also on display for this Family Day event will be other items related to Colonel Burke including a ceremonial sword bayonet, a snuff box and a regimental silver spoon, all donated by another branch of the Burke family. “We wanted the medal to be in the Richmond area since Colonel Burke had been so important to setting up the military settlement,� said Scott Baylis. “We never considered selling it at all; we knew it is a valuable part of Canadian heri-

tage,� said Elizabeth Baylis. These Military General Service Medals like this Burke medal are very rare. Only 900 of these medals for service in the War of 1812 were awarded in 1848 to British and Canadian soldiers involved in the war, with special clasps recognizing service in any of three specific battles – Detroit (1812), Chateauguay (1813) or Crysler’s Farm (1813). Their rarity means that collectors pay handsome prices for such medals. The clasp associated with Colonel Burke’s medal, inscribed with “Chateauguay,� adorns the dark blue-edged crimson ribbon holding the 36 millimetre silver disk which is stamped on its edge with Burke’s name, rank and regiment to which he belonged. He qualified for the medal for having served as a Major of Brigade during the Battle of Chateauguay which occurred on Oct. 26, 1813. With a huge American army invading Lower Canada, Burke took vital military reports to the British generals in Montreal, travelling back and forth from the defending force of British soldiers, Canadian militia and native warriors assembled at Chateuaguay under Lieutenant-Colonel Charles de Salaberry. Colonel Burke only possessed his war medal, presented in 1848, for a few years before he died at the age of 78 in 1854 at his son’s home in Bytown. The medal was then held by his oldest daughter, Margaret Jane, who had married Dr. Christopher Collis and then Dr. John Crawford, both living in Richmond. Decades later, the then-79 year old widow bestowed this family treasure on her young grandson, John (Jack) Crawford Scott. Along with the medal, Scott and Elizabeth Baylis have also donated to the Goulbourn Mu-

seum a parchment letter which Mrs. Crawford wrote on Jan. 21, 1889, addressed to “My Dear Jack.� “I give into your hands for safe keeping my dear father’s medal,� the letter reads. “I know you are careful. I don’t want it to go out of the family nor do I wish you to say anything about it.� When Jack Crawford Scott died in 1930, his wife Louise “put the medal in a safe place.� After she died in 1971, her daughter Margaret Louise and husband Robert Baylis became “the custodian� of the medal and letter, keeping them in a safety deposit box. “Scott and I always knew they were there� in an envelope on which their father wrote “Colonel Burke’s medal,� says Elizabeth Baylis. Safeguarding the artefact had become a family tradition. The suggestion of donating this War of 1812 medal given to Colonel Burke to the Goulbourn Museum came from Elizabeth’s longtime friend, Jim McTavish of Kingston. They had been teachers together at one time. Interestingly, Mr. McTavish is a descendant of two Richmond soldier-settlers, Lieutenant George Lyon and Lieutenant Joseph Maxwell whose children married. The two officers served with Burke in the 100th Regiment of Foot. Scott and Elizabeth Baylis were sent a page from a Goulbourn Museum annual report showing the other Burke items which had been donated to the Museum. They were unaware of these donated items. They then decided that the Goulbourn Museum would be the perfect place for Colonel Burke’s war medal. This is appropriate as well since Richmond will be celebrating its bicen-

tennial in the year 2018 and Colonel Burke was the superintendent in charge of the Richmond military settlement which was founded in 1818. The British government had created the Military General Service Medal in 1847 to recognize veterans of various military campaigns between 1793 and 1814, a period covering the Napoleonic Wars in Europe and the War of 1812 in North America. But retired soldiers had to personally apply for the medal. Next of kin could not make the claim and by 1847, few of the military veterans were alive to seek the honour of the medal. The Parliament of colonial Canada later was unsuccessful in convincing the British government to issue medals with clasps for several battles of the War of 1812 including Queenston Heights (1812) and Plattsburg (1814) which are two battles where Burke also served. Colonel Burke had received a second General Service Medal which had the “Egypt� clasp since he had served in Abercromby’s expedition to Egypt to fight Napoleon’s forces in 1801. A photograph of Colonel Burke taken near the end of his life shows the two medals pinned to his lapel. An 1894 Ottawa newspaper clipping about the erection of a national monument in Quebec to “the Chateauguay heroes� had reported on Burke’s role in the battle and the participation of some of his descendants at the ceremony. The article stated that the “late Mrs. Crawford had in her possession for many years and handed down to her children two medals won by Colonel Burke, one at Chateauguay and one at the battle of Alexandria, Egypt in 1801.� Unfortunately, the whereabouts of the second Burke medal given for his involvement in the Egypt campaign is unknown.

Colonel George Thew Burke was leader in early Goulbourn John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Much is made of the Duke of Richmond and Colonel John By, who are two of the most familiar historical personages in the settlement years of the Ottawa area. But when it comes right down to the person who made the greatest contribution to the settlement of the area and could be considered the most prominent and influential public servant in this area in the first half of the 19th century, one individual stands out. That person is Colonel George Thew Burke. While his contributions to the settlement of

This is the front of the Military General Service Medal which was awarded to Colonel George Thew Burke for his service in the Battle of Chateauguay in the War of 1812. The medal has now been donated to the Goulbourn Museum and will be on display at the Museum’s Family Day event on Monday, Feb. 17.

Richmond and the surrounding areas was immense through his role as superintendent of the military settlement of Richmond from 1818 to 1822, his ongoing role as the first land registrar for Carleton County gave him a continuing influence that lasted until his death in 1854. As the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement, he was responsible for the allocation of land grants to the earliest settlers in Goulbourn, Beckwith, Huntley and Fitzroy townships, along with some allocations in both Nepean and Rideau townships. It was under his leadership that the village of Richmond was surveyed and laid out prior to the initial arrival of settlers in 1818. As well as being the superintendent of the military settlement for four years, until it was removed from military control, Colonel Burke also filled the roles of magistrate and postmaster. As the acknowledged leader of the community, he commanded the local militia in Richmond. He also served as a school trustee for the early school which was established in Richmond. Colonel Burke was the first member of the provincial Legislature for Carleton County, serving two terms in a period from 1821 to 1828. It was during this time that the final plans and authorizations for the soon-to-be-built Rideau Canal were instigated. Colonel Burke, who was born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1776, had a distinguished military career prior to his appointment as the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818. He entered the British army in 1798, joining the Irish Fencibles. He went on to serve in Egypt and then was used as a recruiter in his native Ireland, an indication of his leadership skills even as a young officer. In this recruiting role, he was instrumental in raising the 100th Regiment of Foot which later became the 99th Regiment when the army’s size was reduced. It was this regiment which provided many of the early settlers in the Richmond/Goulbourn area. The young then-Captain Burke went on to serve in Spain and on the Duke of Wellington’s staff at Waterloo. In the War of 1812 which was fought between the British and the United States in North America, he fought at Queenston Heights under General Isaac Brock and took part in the hard fought battles of Sackett’s Harbour and Chateauguay. At the battle of Sack-

ett’s Harbour in May, 1813, the war documents outline the following action by Captain Burke: “The advance was led by the Grenadiers of the 100th Regiment (under the command of Cap-

Colonel George Thew Burke wears his two Military General Service Medals awarded to him for his involvement in the Battle of Chateauguay in the War of 1812 and in the 1801 expedition to Egypt to fight Napoleon’s forces.

tain Burke) with undaunted gallantry, which no obstacle could arrest. … Captain Burke availed himself of the ample field afforded him in leading the advance to display the intrepidity of British Grenadiers…” Following the War of 1812, Colonel Burke was appointed to the posts of Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General and also Brigade Major at Quebec where the 100th Regiment was posted following the war. He did retire on half pay but then was selected by Sir John Sherbrooke, who was Governor and Command-in-Chief in Canada at the time, to become the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement. Indeed, an obituary written in the Ottawa Citizen in February, 1854 at the time of his death describes Colonel Burke and his military service as follows: “Colonel Burke was always characterized by his mild and unassuming manners, and during his military career was beloved by his brother officers for his distinguished bravery and coolness on the field of battle.” As the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement, Colonel Burke was a constant companion of the Duke of Richmond during his visit to the settlement in August, 1819. He had met him in Perth and accompanied him to Richmond, with reports suggesting that he never left the Duke’s side during the visit, perhaps partly because the Duke was also exhibiting signs of the disease which would eventually take his life as he lay in a barn along the Jock River at Twin Elm, just outside of Richmond. Colonel Burke was 78 years old at the time of his death. His wife, the former Lydia Anne Grant, had predeceased him in 1825. Both are buried in the St. Philip’s cemetery in Richmond.

Families will be able to pose for a photo keepsake in the Museum’s old-fashioned photo booth. There will be a craft station as well as games to play. You will also be able to step back in time in the Museum’s replica village shop. The day will also be the first time that visitors to the Museum will be able to see a piece of military history that was given to one of Goulbourn’s War of 1812 heroes, Colonel George Thew Burke. After being passed down from generation to generation in the family for 160 years, the family of Colonel Burke has entrusted his silver military medal recognizing his service in the War of 1812 to the Goulbourn Museum. The medal is being added to the Museum’s exhibition about the 100th Regiment of Foot which saw service in the War of 1812 and which supplied many early settlers to Goulbourn in 1818. Both Colonel Burke’s medal and the refreshed 100th Regiment of Foot exhibit will be unveiled during the Museum’s Family Day event on Monday, Feb. 17.

Curling action Alli Todd, skip of Team Todd in the fun curling bonspiel hosted by the Richmond Agricultural Society at the Richmond Curling Club in Richmond last Saturday, places the broom as she calls for a shot during the curling action.

Sports - After giving up an early goal to the visiting Arnprior Packers, the Stittsville Royals roared back with three straight goals to take a 3-1 lead out of the first period of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game between the two teams at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. Arnprior scored the only goal of the second period, making the score 3-2 heading into the third period. But the third period was scoreless with the Royals hanging on for a 3-2 victory. Tanner Knight, Mitch Kerwin and Steve Genier scored for the Royals in this game. Earning assists were Jeremy Nichols with two, Mitch Kerwin, Tanner Knight, Keegan Rowe and Jordan Cale. Stittsville goalie Patrick Kealey faced 37 shots from the visiting Packers while the Royals directed 35 shots at the Arnprior net. There were 21 penalties called in the game, giving Stittsville nine power plays and Arnprior six power play opportunities. The Packers failed to score on any of their manadvantage situations while the Royals scored on one of their nine power play chances. In fact, what proved to be the winning goal, scored by Steve Genier at the 15:18 mark of the first period, was scored on a power play. The Stittsville Royals remain in fourth place in the Valley Division of the league with 33 points. The next home game in Stittsville for the Stittsville Royals will take place on Sunday, Feb. 16 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville, with the Perth Blue Wings as the visiting team. This will be the Royals final game of the regular season.

City supports Peace Park in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A Peace Park is coming to Stittsville. It is the idea of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville which has applied for and has received city funding and support for the project under the city’s Better Neighbourhoods Program under the jurisdiction of the city’s Neighbourhood Connection Office. The city will now work with the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville to make this Peace Park in Stittsville a reality. The project will receive up to $30,000 in financial support from the city. The proposal is that this new Stittsville Rotary Peace Park will be located in Bell Memorial Park which is located at the northeast corner of Stittsville Main Street and Fernbank Road in Stittsville. This Stittsville Rotary Peace Park will feature a labyrinth as well as a friendship bench on which to resolve conflicts and pathways. A labyrinth is a traditional walking feature that is meant to help calm people and allow them to meditate. The creation of a Peace Park in Stittsville

has been a longtime vision of the Rotary Club of Ottawa Stittsville. It was a vision first developed in 2006 and subsequently revised and rejuvenated, leading to the application to the city under the Better Neighbourhoods Project. Last October, the Stittsville Village Association provided its support in principle to the proposed project of a Peace Park in Stittsville. In her presentation to the Stittsville Village Association at that time, Rotary Club member Valerie Wright said that a peace park is meant not only to promote peace but also to create peace in people, providing a quite place to walk. She referred to a peace park as a “peaceful space open to all.” That’s why a labyrinth as well as a treed area with pathways on which people could walk are essential elements of a peace park. The Rotary Peace Park at Bell Memorial Park will have not only a labyrinth but also will benefit from the treed nature of the park. It is thought that a peace park like this Rotary Peace Park could include plantings beside pathways, sculpture, memorials and appropriate signage including signage pro-

moting peace and reconciliation. Adding plantings to the sides of pathways as well as art, sculpture and memorials would make the paths interesting to walkers. Plantings in natural areas would focus on native flowers and shrubs while other kinds of plants, shrubs and trees would be used in open areas. The pathways would be developed to be both wheelchair and walker compatible. This Rotary Peace Park in Stittsville was one of three successful submissions from the 30 applications submitted to the city under the Better Neighbourhoods Program this year. The Better Neighbourhoods Program is meant to provide support for community groups interested in undertaking small-scale projects that will contribute to the vibrancy of a neighbourhood or community. Criteria on which selection of a project is based include innovation, volunteer commitment and community considerations including potential benefits for neighbourhood stakeholders. Mayor Jim Watson supports the Better Neighbourhoods Program. See PEACE PARK, page 36

Katelyn Fournier to play hockey at Clarkson John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Breakfast at the Legion Hall Sam Wood holds a plate of eggs, sausages, toast and home fries that he is serving at the breakfast which was held at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street last Sunday morning. The breakfast hosted by the Legion was open to everyone, costing only $5 including coffee, tea and juice.

News - She will be a Clarkson Golden Knight next season. That’s because Sacred Heart Catholic High School 17 year old grade 12 student Katelyn Fournier has been recruited to attend Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York in the fall where she will play hockey for the Clarkson University NCAA Division 1 women’s hockey team. Hockey is nothing new in her life as she has been playing hockey since she was about seven years old. It has always been her dream to play university hockey in the States and now it’s going to happen.

Katelyn is currently in her third year playing for the Ottawa Senators in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League. She plays right wing, describing herself as a strong skater and a team player. She identifies herself as a good passer who has the ability to see open teammates. She also gets her own chances to score. She says that she is a very focused player on the ice, attributing this attitude to her love of the game. “It’s what I like doing,” she says. Katelyn admits that she has always been interested in attending Clarkson University, having gone to hockey camps there and getting to know the coaches and the facilities there.

Katelyn Fournier For its part, Clarkson has scouted Katelyn for a while and had her on their recruitment radar. Academically at Clarkson, she hopes to take something in business as she enjoys the marketing and business courses that she has tak-

en at Sacred Heart. She is maintaining an average about 80 at Sacred Heart. She admits that it is sometimes tough balancing her hockey involvement with her studies but she notes that she has been doing it for years and has developed some time management skills to handle the situation. Katelyn has not played for the Sacred Heart girls’ team as she concentrates on her play with the Ottawa Senators team. She admits that she has no real favourite hockey team or player but simply enjoys watching hockey. In the summer, she can be found on the ice once or twice a week while also doing off-ice

training on a daily basis, using running or cycling, although she also lifts weights. This is all done because she realizes that she has to be in good shape for hockey. Clarkson University is a private university in Potsdam, New York, founded in 1896, with a current enrolment of about 3,500 students. Its men’s and women’s Golden Knights hockey teams compete in the NCAA Division 1, where the teams are perennial powerhouses. Notable alumni of Clarkson University include former Ottawa mayor and current Ontario minister of energy Bob Chiarelli and former National Hockey League and Ottawa Senators player Todd White.

Retiring office administrator Gail Butler honoured at assembly Special to the News

News - St. Philip Catholic School’s office administrator Gail Butler has retired. Last Friday, Jan. 31 was her last day on the job, ending 23 years of working for the Ottawa Catholic School Board. She worked at St. Gregory Catholic School in Nepean for ten years before moving to St. Philip in Richmond where she has been for the last 13 years.

She was honoured at a farewell assembly in her honour at the school last Friday afternoon, with presentations being made to her by the school’s Parent Council and by the staff. She was also presented with roses by students representing their classes. At the assembly, she was praised for her many special skills and knowledge that have helped keep the school running smoothly over

the years when she has been the office administrator. She was able to diagnose student injuries quite accurately which made the injuries a little less painful. She ensured that special lunches for the students arrived on time and she was faithful in ordering the milk and other supplies needed by the school.

Mrs. Butler got to know all of the school’s parents and caregivers and remembered the names not only of all of the students but of their relatives as well. She has had a great ability to make a connection with everyone. In her retirement, Mrs. Butler is looking forward to spending more time with her five granddaughters.

Besides military veterans, the Legion is also looking for the stories of members of the RCMP, police forces and firefighters who have assisted Canada’s military in UN/

Peace Park is longtime vision of Rotary Club Continued from page 33

“It is an opportunity to get residents involved in hands-on projects that will help create vibrant and liveable neighbourhoods,” the mayor said. “The Better Neighbourhoods Program is an excellent way in which the city and community volunteers collaborate to make it happen.”

There is a long history regarding peace parks and it is believed that at least 400 Canadian cities and towns currently have a peace park in some form. It is believed, though, that this will be the first such peace park in the city of Ottawa. In 1932, the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was created on the Montana/Alberta border, initiated by a petition R0012542684

An issue of concern for many residents south of Barrhaven is coming to Planning Committee on Tuesday, February 11th. The closure of Woodroffe Avenue will be on the agenda. This closure dates back to pre-amalgamation Nepean in which the Council of the day approved closing Woodroffe Avenue at Prince of Wales Drive contingent on the extension of Strandherd Drive to Prince of Wales Drive. Since that is now open, the closure has come forward with public consultation having been conducted in recent months. I have heard many concerns from residents in our area on the closure and if you would like to speak on this issue at Committee, the meeting will be held in the Champlain Room at Ottawa City Hall at 9:30am. As I have stated in the past, I am opposed to the closure as Woodroffe Avenue has historically been a vital connection into the city from the rural area, especially such destinations as the Nepean Sportsplex and Algonquin College. The counter argument to my position is that taking Prince of Wales/Strandherd as an alternative is only 700m longer.

11 Critical Home Inspection Traps to be Aware of Weeks Before Listing Your Home for Sale Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That's why it's critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away

altogether. In most cases, you can make a reasonable pre-inspection yourself if you know what you're looking for, and knowing what you're looking for can help you prevent little problems from growing into costly and unmanageable ones. To help homesellers deal with this issue before their homes are listed, a free report entitled "11 Things You Need to Know to Pass Your Home Inspection" has been compiled which explains the issues involved. To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-217-1897 and enter 7003 . You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Get your free special report NOW to learn how to ensure a home inspection doesn't cost you the sale of your home.

‘Sochi 2014’ happening in Munster Special to the News

News - Winter carnival time in Munster is here, just like the Winter Olympics in Sochi. The Winter Olympics in Sochi are getting underway at the same time as the Munster winter carnival takes place 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 winter 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 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. The bonfire and music from Jack FM 92.3 happens from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. At 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, there will be the opening ceremony at the Munster Community Centre with the winners of the winter carnival poster contest announced. From 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., there will be an

open skate at the Munster rink, with one area for skating and one for hockey. At 7:30 p.m., there will be a movie shown at the Munster Community Centre. Also on Friday, Feb. 7, at 8:30 p.m., there will be a snowmobile run from Danby’s Bar and Grill. Saturday, Feb. 8 will start off with a home cooked pancake breakfast at the Munster United Church hall, running from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Enioy pancakes, sausages, juice, tea and coffee. From 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., there will be games and opening skating at the rink, weather permitting. These games will include tobogganing, tug of war, hardest shot and more. Refreshments and snacks will be available at the canteen at the Munster Community Centre. There will also be indoor craft activities for youngsters at the Munster Community Centre, along with the showing of a movie. The annual Munster Chili Cook-Off will run from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone who wants should take 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, with the winners announced at 1 p.m. The “Kids Zone” at the Munster Elementary School gymnasium will begin at 1:30 p.m. and run through to 4 p.m., featuring a bake sale, bouncy castles, face painting, flipping frogs, milk jug toss, and more. There will even be a “Little Tyke Zone” for

pre-school children. At 1:45 p.m., there will be a hip hop dance by Meera Mukerjee. This will be a fun hip hop dance for those of all ages. At 2:30 p.m., Circus Delight will be on hand to amaze everyone with interactive magical happenings. The scene will then shift back to the Munster Community Centre at 7 p.m. for fireworks. There will also be a bonfire and refreshments and snacks will be available at the canteen. At 7:30 p.m., there will be a game of pick-up hockey with everyone welcome to participate, both young and old. Also at 7:30 p.m., indoors at the Munster Community Centre, there will be crafts for the youngsters. 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. Supporters of this year’s Munster winter carnival include Danby’s Bar and Grill, Jack FM 92.3 (Wayne Cavanagh), Mario Tremblay, Munster Community Association, Munster Elementary School Council and parents, families and students, Munster United Church, Munster Youth Group, city of Ottawa and Dawna Ferguson.

Stittsville Rotary Peace Park chosen by City’s Better Neighbourhood’s Program The City’s Neighbourhood Connection Office (NCO) has announced the three winning submissions in the Better Neighbourhoods Program for 2014. The Stittsville Rotary Club was selected for a Peace Park, expected to be used as a peaceful place for all ages, with such features as accessible paths and a friendship bench. The Peace Park will be located in what is currently the Bell Park off Stittsville Main Street and Fernbank Road. A major feature of the Park will be a labyrinth, which is pictured below. The thought is that as you walk through the labyrinth you will reflect on yourself and your life. Congratulations to the Ottawa Stittsville Rotary Club, and especially to Valerie Wright and her team of Rotary Club members for spearheading this successful application. We all look forward to enjoying the wonderful Peace Park once it is completed. Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan (CDP) – Have Your Say! Since November 2012, the City has worked with the community, agencies, land owners, developers and consultants to draft a CDP for the Stittsville Main Street. Residents will find a vision and framework for its long term development—everything from building variety and heights, density, heritage preservation, parks and pathways, making room for pedestrians, cars, people and more.

Munster Cooperative Nursery School D A E R SP E Special to the News

TH

News - The Munster Cooperative Nursery School provides a safe and enriching environment to prepare young children for kindergarten. Founded in 1976 by a group of parents from Munster and area, the Nursery School has continued to operate since then under the direction of parents in the community. The primary focus of the Munster Cooperative Nursery School is to create a comfortable supportive environment for young children where they are encouraged to develop at their own pace through a program that is structure and yet flexible enough to allow children to benefit from a variety of activities each day. Children learn to work together and to problem solve while enhancing their individual strengths and developing a sense of self-worth while also enjoying play and having fun. Programs include a three and four year old program that runs on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings that includes free play, songs, stories, games, a snack and outdoor play or gym time. There is also a program for two year olds that runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings that includes free play, a circle time, a story, a snack and outdoor play. A program for three and four year olds on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons is on hold pending additional student interest. The Munster Cooperative Nursery School enjoys support and sponsorship from numerous local and area businesses which is one reason for its continued presence in the community. Andrea Thomas is the current director/ teacher at the Munster Cooperative Nursery School. She has her diploma in Early Childhood Education as well as many years involved in the child care field.

Sauerkraut was Father’s specialty

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - As far as Father was concerned, he was the only one who knew how to properly cook sauerkraut. He said, getting a dig in at Mother about her heritage which was far removed from his German ancestry, you had to have good German blood running in your veins to turn out edible sauerkraut. I had no idea what blood had to do with it, but I had to admit I liked Father’s sauerkraut better than Mother’s. It all came from the same barrel, but whatever Father did, when it was ready we all ate it with great gusto. That is, all except my cousin Ronny who visited regularly from Montreal. He hated sauerkraut regardless who cooked it, and he took to hiding it all through the house, even prying off a bedroom baseboard one time to stash it away. But for the rest of us, when Father worked his magic at the Findlay Oval, there wasn’t a scrap left over for another meal. After the barrel of shredded cabbage had

been allowed to sit in the hot kitchen until it was well fermented, the barrel was rolled out to the summer kitchen where the innards formed into a solid mass of ice. For reasons which always escaped me, I was the one who had to go out with the granite basin and an ice pick and hack away until I had enough for a meal. When Father was doing the cooking, I stacked the basin high, knowing full well it would take a heap to fill the big iron fry pan he would be using. It was bitterly cold in the summer kitchen, so I dressed for the elements, wearing mitts to hold the chisel or ice pick to chip the frozen sauerkraut, bringing it in to Father just before he was ready to pop it into the fry pan. First he would have fried (in bacon fat, of course) a heaping mound of onions, well laced with black pepper. I would stand well away from the stove as Father, with his bare hands would scoop up the sauerkraut, slap it into the sizzling pan, as I waited for the whole thing to explode into flames.

Of course, it never did, but the hissing was enough to give me concern. All the time, he would be plugging more wood into the Findlay Oval to keep the stove roaring hot. Once the frozen sauerkraut melted, he would stir the pan with the big wooden spoon, mixing in the fried onions. Father never left the stove, stirring all the time, until the liquid in the pan was gone. Then he would scoop up heaping tablespoons of butter and plop that on top of the sauerkraut. It too would have to be worked in, until all that was left were the fried onions and sauerkraut which by then had turned a golden brown. He would shift the big iron fry pan to the back of the stove, on top of the reservoir, and say, “alright, bring your plates,” and we’d line up at the stove while father dished out his special dish. There would be more butter on the table, right beside the spoon holder, and of course, we would scoop up a goodly portion and plop it on top of the sauerkraut, and watch it melt into Father’s wonderful main dinner course. Of course, there would also have to be meat for this meal. No supper was ever complete without meat. Often it would be salt pork simmering on the back of the stove in another big fry pan, or Mother would have a cookie sheet of homemade sausages baking in the oven with sliced apples around them. Father said the apples spoiled the taste of a good sausage. But Mother said if he was go-

ing to make German sauerkraut, then she would serve apples with the sausages, since that was a French custom she learned from her own mother. And so the two nationalities would come together at the Findlay Oval. Even though Mother often tried to duplicate Father’s way of frying the sauerkraut, it never quite tasted the same. Before Mother moved to the backwoods of Renfrew County to marry a farmer of German heritage, she knew little of the foods Father was used to. It didn’t take her long to learn how to stuff ground pork into well-washed skins, get roasts ready for the smoke house, do down a barrel of dill pickles with big cloves of garlic, and help get the cabbage ready for the sauerkraut barrel. It took her much longer to get used to making headcheese and blood pudding. I would be as far away from the kitchen as I could get while both were being made, because watching the pork head, and the pan of blood being prepared, turned my stomach inside out. I drew the line over both, and often would settle for a hard-boiled egg instead, while the rest of the family ate up both with gusto. Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Trinidad chicken Pelau is a tasty island dish Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Lifestyle - This traditional chicken and rice dish gets its colour and characteristic flavour from browning the chicken in caramelized sugar. Serve with a creamy coleslaw to complete the island meal. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Marinating time: at least 15 minutes. Cooking time: 45 to 50 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients * 8 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin removed * 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh thyme or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 5 ml (1 tsp) salt * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) pepper * 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil * 25 ml (2 tbsp) packed brown sugar * 1 large onion, sliced * 500 ml (2 cups) sodium-reduced chicken broth * 2 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced diagonally * 250 ml (1 cup) long-grain rice * 25 ml (2 tbsp) tomato paste * 1 can (425 ml/15 oz) green pigeon peas, drained and rinsed * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) hot sauce (optional)

Preparation In a large bowl, combine the chicken, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper to coat. Let the chicken stand at room temperature for 15 minutes or for up to four hours in the refrigerator. In a deep, large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat until it’s hot. Add the sugar evenly in centre of the oil and cook until it’s bubbly, frothy and dark caramel in colour around the edges -- about two to three minutes. Immediately add the chicken and stir constantly with wooden spoon until coated. Brown the chicken for about three minutes. Add the onion and 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the broth; cover and cook for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the carrots, rice and tomato paste then add the remaining broth, peas and hot sauce if you’re using it. Bring the mixture to boil, and then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for about 10 minutes before serving. Note: Pigeon peas are available in the international section of the supermarket. Pinto beans can be substituted.

Fee set for Development League players Special to the News

Sports - The West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) is now the largest soccer club in the Ottawa area and is the second largest such club in the country. Founded in 2010, the WOSC is the result of a merger of a number of smaller soccer clubs in the west end of Ottawa including the Stittsville Soccer Club and the Richmond Soccer Club. In 2013, the WOSC became one of only 19 founding franchise partners in the new Ontario Player Development League which is entering

its inaugural season this year involving U13 girls and U13 boys teams. This is regarded as a significant new Ontario Soccer Association player development program but player costs to be involved was causing some worry. As a result, the WOSC board of directors has agreed to subsidize the registration fee for Ontario Player Development League players, setting it at $199 per player per month or $2,390 for the year. Without the subsidy, the player cost would be approximately $3,500 per player.

The WOSC board of directors was able to make this decision thanks to prudent cost management for the program and additional resourcing through the use of Club reserves. No Club fees for other players will increase to cover this subsidization of the Ontario Player Development League players. Indeed, the WOSC expects spin off benefits for all of its players as a result of the Ontario Player Development League program. For instance, the technical team assembled by the WOSC for the Ontario Player Development League teams consists of former Canadian women’s national team player Kristina Kiss, former Celtic Glasgow ace David Hannah and technical director Erik Stoffelshaus, a veteran in German soccer circles. This coaching experience and expertise will filter through all of the WOSC’s programs, not just the Ontario Player Development League (ODPL) program.

“All along we have said that becoming an ODPL franchise would be a tide that lifts all boats within our Club, not an elite program supported to the detriment of other programs,� said WOSC president Brian Mason. “Our full-time coaching staff will be able to bring football development mentorship to bear across all levels of play and coaching and out heightened focus on areas such as our expanded sports medicine and science offerings will reverberate far beyond the teams that will represent WOSC in the OPDL from 2014 going forward,� president Mason added. The WOSC delivers a full suite of soccer programs from young children to adults. A variety of league and player development programs are offered to meet all levels of ability and interest, with the Club focused on long term player development. The Club is managed by both full time and part-time professional staff. It is governed by a volunteer board of directors and has a network of volunteers to assist in delivering its programs across the West Ottawa area.

52 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, February 6, 2014

News - An oil painting showing a female hugging a big dog as they both sit looking out a window at a scene of falling snow grabbed the interest of those who viewed the “Anticipating Winter” exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville. This “Anticipating Winter” exhibition ran at the owaa gallery from Saturday, Nov. 9 through to Friday, Jan. 10. It was Louise Barker’s painting featuring the female hugging a big dog and entitled “Window to Winter” that placed first in the People’s Choice voting in this exhibition. Anyone can vote for the People’s Choice in any exhibition at the owaa gallery by filling out a ballot and dropping it in the ballot box on the display case at the gallery. Placing second in the People’s Choice voting was Michael Goguen’s large oil on canvas entitled “The Quest of the Maji” which was a spectacularly colourful painting showing the three Magi on a path leading to a big temple with a city in the background, all found beneath a shining star in the sky. Third place in the People’s Choice voting ended as a tie among four artists: Stephen Harrison’s “Rideau Centre Light,” a black and white photograph on his typical dye-infused aluminum that showed that the simplest of objects,

namely a light, could become a magical scene in the hands of a talented artist as it showed a light fixture which stood out because it was surrounded by black; Josef Pittner’s “Majestic Barn,” a photograph showing a small old barn in a rocky setting with a fence in the foreground and trees in the background, a typical Canadian rural scene; Gerald Smith’s “The Hindenburg Over Cape Sable, May 6, 1937,” an oil on canvas painting showing the Hindenburg airship over a lighthouse with a blue sky in the background; and Vera Van Baaren’s “Lost Rays,” an acrylic depicting a half dozen tree trunks throwing their shadows into the painting’s foreground as the sloping sun shines between them. Artists who participate in the owaa gallery exhibitions really look forward to the results of the People’s Choice balloting as they enjoy the feedback and the appreciation for their work which the votes portray. There is now a new exhibition at the owaa gallery in the foyer area of the GRC, called “Nature’s Silent Slumber.” This new exhibition will run through to Friday, March 7. There is a People’s Choice balloting involved with this new exhibition. If you are at the GRC and have an opportunity to view the art on exhibit, consider taking a moment to fill out a ballot indicating your favourite piece of art in the exhibit and drop it into the People’s Choice ballot box. Results will be announced following closure of the exhibition.

The items listed below, in addition to any other items previously scheduled, will be considered at this meeting which will be held in the Champlain Room, City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa. To see any change to this meeting agenda, please go to Ottawa.ca.
