Journeying ‘Coast to Coast’ without leaving Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - You will be able to take a journey across Canada on Saturday, Oct. 13 – all without leaving Stittsville. That’s because the Goulbourn Male Chorus will be presenting a one hour program at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library that will be a journey across Canada through song and poetry. It’s a program geared to families, so everyone is invited to attend, especially children. Entitled “Coast to Coast,� this program will feature songs from the East Coast, Central Canada and the West Coast. It will wind up with a rousing audience participation piece, “This land was made for you and me.� This program will be taking place from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the library.
Originally slated for the meeting room, the program has now been relocated to space just inside the main entrance where the Goulbourn Male Chorus will not only be performing but where there will be a display of sailing related items laid out – rope, sailors’ tools, rigging, an anchor chain, a wind speed gauge, examples of rope work and more. It’s meant to provide a nautical backdrop to the performance, especially since water is something of a theme throughout the event, not only for the East Coast and West Coast portions of the program but also for the Central Canada portion when the poetry of Pauline Johnson “The Song My Paddle Sings� will be featured. This will lead into a song “My Paddle/Dip, Dip,� an action song where children will be encouraged to pretend to be paddling to the beat of the song. See GOULBOURN, page 5
EMC news - A seven year old boy should not suffer a brain aneurysm and massive stroke. He should not be confined to a wheelchair with a devastating degree of paralysis on his left side. But for Anderson of Stittsville and for his mom Shelley Black, this is reality. But so too are the love, faith, hope and miracles – yes, miracles – that have happened since their world was turned upside down last June 5th. And community support is pouring in. A fundraising website has now reached a total of $24,483 as of Monday, Oct. 1, already over the $20,000 goal that had been set. And part of this fundraising was the result of an outpouring of generosity and support which happened at the pancake breakfast at Fire Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville last Saturday morning, Sept. 29. Held in conjunction with the annual Villagefest activities happening that day in the village, the breakfast became not only a fundraising vehicle for young Anderson and his mom but also became an opportunity when Anderson himself was the centre of attention. He met Ottawa fire chief John deHooge, received a firefighter’s helmet and was made an honouary firefighter. He beamed from “ear to ear� as he rode in a pumper truck, a huge smile that he had not revealed since that moment last June when he was felled by his sudden brain aneurysm. In the end, the pancake breakfast, which attracted a capacity crowd, raised $3,650 for Anderson. The Stittsville Firefighters Association contributed $1,000 while city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri provided a
raffle basket for a fundraising draw. Firefighter Lt. Mark Smith, who won the raffle basket, donated it to Anderson’s family. Donations to help Anderson and his mom have the financial resources to provide for Anderson’s medical needs and to allow his mother to stay home and care for him continue to flow into the fundraising website which can be found at http://www.indiegogo.com/ help-anderson . Anderson’s medical problems happened quickly, just four months ago. On June 5, his mom Shelley was taking Anderson to school, walking him to his classroom when he said that he had a headache. He then suddenly collapsed and fell to the floor, unconscious. When he regained consciousness a few minutes later, he started screaming from the pain. Taken to hospital by ambulance where it was determined that he had suffered a brain aneurysm, things worsened as his aneurysm ruptured, causing extensive bleeding in the brain. He also suffered a massive stroke. Emergency surgery was the only recourse in an attempt to clamp the aneurysm and stop the bleeding in the brain. Anderson survived the surgery but because the bleeding was worse than initially believed, the surgeons had to remove part of his skull to allow for the brain to swell. His life was literally hanging in the balance that night because of the severe trauma that his brain had suffered. Anderson was put into a medically induced coma for 12 days, with family and friends praying for the miracle that was needed for him to survive. These prayers were answered. See HELPING, page 3

On September 28, Ontario’s Minister of Energy Chris Bentley visited Chaudière Generating Station No. 2, one of Hydro Ottawa’s historic hydroelectric generating stations at Chaudière Falls. The station, commissioned in 1891 and refurbished and fully automated in 2001, is a heritage-designated building that is Canada’s oldest fully-functional run-of-theriver hydroelectric facility. Minister Bentley was accompanied by Pierre Richard, Chairman, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. and Hydro Ottawa Limited; and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO, Hydro Ottawa Holding Inc. Hydro Ottawa also owns Chaudière Generating Station No. 4, built in 1900 and refurbished in 2005, as well as a smaller station named the Grinder Powerhouse which uses an innovative technology that is similar to a pump operating in reverse – the first time this technology has been used at a scale of 700 kilowatts or more.

Hydro Ottawa’s Chaudière Falls stations have a generating capacity of 17 megawatts and an annual production of about 125,000 megawatt hours of green energy. With the addition of its landfill gas-to-energy generation, Hydro Ottawa is the largest generator of green power in eastern Ontario. This green energy portfolio will expand with the closing of the acquisition of three more hydroelectric stations at Chaudière Falls from Domtar with a capacity of 20 megawatts. The acquisition will more than double Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric generating capacity, enabling the company to generate enough clean, renewable energy to meet the annual needs of 28,000 households. Another benefit of the acquisition is that the Chaudière Falls site is one of the largest remaining sites available in Ontario, with an expansion opportunity that could see Hydro Ottawa’s hydroelectric capacity grow to 60 megawatts.

Ottawa Fire Services Sector Chief Todd Horricks, background, along with mom Shelley Black, left, front, present seven year old Anderson with a firefighter’s helmet as he becomes an honouary firefighter at the firefighters’ pancake breakfast at the fire hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville last Saturday, Sept. 29.
for ďŹ ve hours, he spoke. “Mom,â€? he said. There was also fear that he might not be able to swallow. But on June 23, the feeding tube was gone and he ate a bowl of oatmeal. The severe stroke that Anderson suffered caused a devastating degree of paralysis on his left side. He must spend his time in a wheelchair, quite a hardship for a boy who used to enjoy riding his bike and playing the piano. Anderson was discharged from hospital on Aug. 10, unable to walk or even stand up on his own. He has not yet returned to school and when he does, it will only be on a part-time basis. He is still recovering from his brain injury, tiring easily. It could take up to two years for him to recover, doctors say. His mom Shelley left her job to be at Anderson’s side through this ordeal. That’s where she wants to stay, caring for Anderson at least for the next year. Since her work was on a contract basis, she has no beneďŹ ts and she does not know when she will be able to return to work or even if there will be a job for her when she does. Right now, she is focused on helping Anderson heal from his brain trauma. With no income and no insurance, Shelley is also a new single mom since she and Anderson’s father separated just four days before Anderson’s brain aneurysm. Anderson’s father was unemployed when Anderson fell sick and like Shelley, he too wanted to be with Anderson during his hospital stay. Shelley, now facing a world that has been turned upside down with a child whose medical needs are massive, has swallowed her pride and on the advice of friends is asking for help. So far the generosity has been overwhelming. Shelley promises that Anderson will be taught the importance of “paying it forwardâ€? when he recovers and that hopefully she and Anderson will be in a position to help another child in need later in life. Funds raised to help Anderson will go toward neurological physiotherapy, equipment needs and various forms of treatment while also helping his mom to continue to be at his side throughout his recovery.

Scott Bury writes novel of mystery and fantasy John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The author calls it “historical magic realism.” Others might call it fiction and fantasy. But whatever genre it might be called, “The Bones of the Earth” is first and foremost a mystery wrapped in fantasy. “I wanted to do something different,” first-time novelist but longtime professional writer Scott Bury said in explaining his effort in producing a story that was unique. And, judging by his report of the book’s reception to date by readers and reviewers, he may have achieved this. The most frequent statement that he has been receiving so far from readers is that it is a book that they cannot put down once they have started reading it. “People who read it love it,” he said as he appeared at a book signing event at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Saturday. The novel is a fantasy set in the time of the Dark Ages in Eastern Europe involving a young boy whose parents are murdered by a monster. He sets out to get revenge but also to find his own place in the world. While it is a work of fiction, author Bury says that a lot of research went into the book dealing with what
civilization was like at that time, with both history and mythology involved. There are dragons and monsters and invaders all turning up in the story whose primary character is the young Javor who heads for Constantinople, the centre of civilization at that time, looking for answers to the puzzle of his great-grandfather’s dagger and the murder of his family. And, of course, what story would be complete without a romantic twist to it. “You have got to have romance,” says Scott. Javor ends up rescuing the beautiful Danisa from being a human sacrifice and falls in love with her. But Danisa has her own plans and she is kidnapped again, causing Javor to wonder if there is some connection between his dagger, his new lover and his enemies. Scott, who lives in Kanata, points out that there are a lot of different themes or layers in the book – coming of age, boy meets girl, finding your place in the world, being a fish out of water and more. Scott wrote the book over a period of seven years, explaining that he wrote it in spurts over that time. “Life gets in the way,” he explains as the reason why the novel took so long to write, adding that his job and family both took precedence over his
writing. Scott originally thought that this
book “The Bones of the Earth” might lead to a series and it still

might. But he admits that he has a few other books that he would like to write first. One would be an historical novel tentatively titled “Walking From the Soviet Union” which would take the form of a memoir based on the story of his father-in-law who was a Soviet Union soldier in World War Two who was captured with his men and who then engineered an escape from a prisoner of war camp. While “The Bones of the Earth” is Scott’s first novel, his first published work was “Sam, the Strawb Part,” a children’s adventure story. All royalties from sale of this children’s story are going to Children at Risk, an Ottawa-based charity that supports families of children with autism spectrum disorders. Scott is one of ten members – and the only Canadian member – of Independent Authors International. This is a group of professional writers around the world who cooperate with each other in their self-publishing efforts. This could take the form of editing another’s book or providing artwork for the cover or simply promoting another’s work through blog and twitter activity. “The Bones of the Earth” is available through Amazon as well as from the author himself. He can be contacted via email at scott.bury@ iauthorsi.org .

EMC news - The sounds of a saxophone resounded through the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre in Stittsville last Friday evening. It was just one of the sounds provided by the trio calling themselves “Slick Nick and the Bandits” which performed at the coffee shop, part of its regular Friday evening entertainment program. It was Lou Kiss (a stage name) who played the saxophone as he joined his fellow group members – Danny Tea on bass guitar and Nick Slick on drums (both stage names as well) – in providing an assort-
ment of jazz, rock and blues music. Lou Kiss also played the guitar during the performance. This group, “Slick Nick and the Bandits,” usually plays at a Nepean entertainment spot, although it will be making its first-ever trip to Toronto in the middle of this month to perform at a fundraiser there. The group’s appearance at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville came about simply – Danny works at the shop where he is known for his latte art and where he helps train other staff and he asked co-owner Paul Jay if the group could perform at the shop. The rest is history, as it were. This coming Friday, Oct.

Goulbourn Male Chorus to lead ‘Coast to Coast’ trip Continued from page 1
And no song is more “East Coast” than “I’se the B’ye that Builds the Boat.” The audience, both young
and old, will be taught the refrain for this iconic Newfoundland folk song which promises to be a fun experi-
ence. “Jack was every inch a sailor” will round out this East Coast portion of the program.
Members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, who performed at the Winchester United Church on Saturday, Sept. 22, are, front row, from left, Gary
King, Craig Edwardson, Patrick Tang, Glen Fobert, accompanist Barb Creech, director Robert Dueck, John Hunter, Bob Major and James McIntosh; second
row, from left, Don Snyder, David Lockyer, Jean Wong, Rory MacDiarmid, Doug Hall and Leo Mevel; and, back row, from left, Rene Normandin, Chris Brydges,
Art van Draanen, Al Neill, Laurisse Huijer, Fred Boyce, Jack Barker and Bob
Goudie. Missing are Bill Horsman, Chris Morris and John McGinn.

This musical and education program by the Goulbourn
Male Chorus at the Stittsville library on Saturday, Oct. 13 will start its musical/poetic journey on the East Coast.
It will then be on to Central Canada for the song “Land of the Silver Birch” followed by Pauline Johnson’s poem “The Song My Paddle Sings.” The paddle song with its associated actions will wind up this portion of the “coast to Coast’ program. It will then be a quick flight to the West Coast with the Goulbourn Male Chorus singing “Hunker Down.” A windup joint effort by the chorus and the audience on “This land was made for you and me” will end the hour-long program which will take everyone from “Coast to Coast” across the country, all in one hour and without ever leaving Stittsville. Now that’s something that’s certainly well worth experiencing. And everyone is certainly invited to attend this free program and get to enjoy this cross-country musical trip, all without ever physically leaving the confines of the Stittsville library.
3 Ways to Buy a Home for Less Money Ottawa & Area - If you're like most homebuyers, you have two primary considerations in mind when you start looking for a home. First, you want to find the home that perfectly meets your needs and desires, and secondly, you want to purchase this home for the lowest possible price. When you analyze those successful home buyers who have been able to purchase the home they want for thousands of dollars below a seller's asking price, some common denominators emerge. While the negotiating skills of your agent are important, there are three additional key factors that must come into play long before you ever submit an offer. This topic has been the subject of extensive analysis by Industry Experts, and a summary of their findings, and a specific step-by-step purchase plan for homebuyers, can be found in a new special

Busy start to school year for Reilly Walker John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The beginning of school this fall has been a busy time for grade 12 student Reilly Walker. The 17 year old Sacred Heart Catholic High School student had been a student leader at the school’s annual leadership camp and has also travelled to the Maritimes on a marine biology trip with other students. This initial flurry of activity will be followed later this school year as he will be one of the students on a student social justice trip to Nicaragua to work on community projects.
And through the school year Reilly will continue with his work as a lifeguard for the city of Ottawa at the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville. He will also participate with the school’s cross country running team, all the while maintaining his honour roll status as he looks forward to going on to university, probably with a focus on chemical engineering. Reilly was selected as one of the eight student leaders for Sacred Heart’s annual leadership camp at the beginning of this current school year. These student leaders organize and run all of the activities and workshops at this three-day
Celebrating 30 Years
camp meant to impart leadership skills and motivation to grade nine students. He admits that being a student leader at this camp was a lot of work and responsibility but it was all worth it when students approached him at the end, saying how much they had learned at the camp. Indeed, it was Reilly’s experience at the leadership camp when he was in grade nine that motivated him to be a student leader in his grade 9 to 11 years at the school. He readily admits that his experience as a grade nine student at leadership camp had a big influence on his ensuing high school years. That’s why he wanted to be part of this year’s

camp and help other younger students to be similarly motivated, just as he had been. Reilly’s busy September also included going on a marine biology trip to the Bay of Fundy area, one of 33 students who participated, not all from Sacred Heart. On the trip, the students collected marine life right from the ocean floor and then did research at on-site laboratories. They also did whale watching, learning to identify the various types of whales. Reilly liked the way that the trip involved “hands on� experiences, noting that it was cool to be able to go out to collect specimens in the environment and then work on them in the lab. Indeed, he has found that this trip has opened up another possible career path choice for him. Reilly, who went on a student trip to Italy last year, enjoying that culturally rich country, will be going on a student trip to Nicaragua later this year. He is looking forward to this trip exposing him to a different experience than that in Italy, seeing the other end of the spectrum in terms of people’s lifestyle. He is hoping that he will be “shocked� by what he sees and that he will benefit from the trip from a humanitarian point of view. Going on this trip involved
Reilly Walker a lot of student fundraising last year, fundraising that is continuing this school year. Last year talent shows, bake sales and bottle drives were all part of the fundraising. The group held a garage sale just recently and other fundraising initiatives are being contemplated. A lifelong swimmer, Reilly now works as a lifeguard at the GRC pool in Stittsville. He also worked as a lifeguard at the pool at Amberwood this past summer. He has taken all of the lifeguarding and first aid courses required and while he admits that being a lifeguard is a big
responsibility, he says that it is a job that makes a person feel needed. He particularly enjoys feedback he gets from youngsters in the community whom he has taught at the GRC. “You feel fulfilled you have been able to pass something along to them,� he says in talking about the rewards that the job provides. Reilly enjoys running and is on Sacred Heart’s cross country team. He admits that due to his busy schedule, he has not trained as much as perhaps he should but he says that running seems to come naturally to him. Indeed, on his 16th birthday, he completed a marathon, finishing in four hours and ten minutes. He had previously participated in a half marathon and had experienced no problems, so he then took on the full marathon. Reilly, who enjoys biology, chemistry, physics and math courses, is thinking that he will pursue a chemical engineering course in university. He is not absolutely sure yet where he will be going for university. He says that it is important to always strive to do your best. He finds that doing things that are of interest is a key to succeeding. “You have to be interested in what you are doing,� he says.

Great Fire of 1870 plaque is unveiled John Curry

train station and railway line which was put into service in Sept. 1870, just after the devastating fire. Ms. Bottriell said that it is important for a community to remember its roots and she expressed the hope that this plaque would serve to remind today’s and future residents about what happened in Stittsville with the Great Fire of 1870. MP Gordon O’Connor, in his remarks at the unveiling, said that there has been noth-
ing more dramatic and devastating in the Stittsville area than this Great Fire of 1870 which destroyed the Stittsville community as it existed at that time. But he noted as well that Stittsville was able to survive the fire. “Stittsville cannot be destroyed,� he said. “It’s like the phoenix coming back.� The phoenix is a bird of mythology that is reborn from its own ashes.

EMC news - Villagefest of 2012 now has a link with the Great Fire of 1870. In fact, it is a link grounded in cast bronze as a plaque commemorating the Great Fire, considered as the most destructive and dramatic natural event ever to take place in the area, was unveiled at the Villagefest activities at Village Square Park in Stittsville last Saturday, Sept. 29. The plaque was unveiled by Goulbourn Township Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell, Ottawa Fire Service Sector Chief Todd Horricks and a number of local politicians – city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and CarletonMississippi Mills MP the Hon. Gordon O’Connor – at a 1 p.m. ceremony, witnessed by a crowd of about 75 onlookers including a number of uniformed Stittsville volunteer firefighters. The unveiling also took place within feet of Stittsville’s historic 1927 fire truck which had been parked adjacent to the plaque site at Village Square Park. In her remarks prior to the unveiling, Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell told a little about the Great
Fire of 1870 which was driven by what became hurricane force winds and was 11 miles wide as it swept through the Stittsville area. She told how all of the existing village of Stittsville at that time, located in the vicinity of present-day Neil Avenue and Carp Road, were destroyed. Two of the 12 people killed in the fire lived in the Stittsville area. Following the fire, Stittsville rebuilt but at a new location, namely around the new
10% off Season’s Pass with the purchase of a multi-day Snow School Program
reminded everyone of the challenges which were faced by today’s modern firefighters in battling a brush fire in the Moodie Drive area this past summer. Imagine what battling a raging fire back in 1870 must have been like, he said. Among those witnessing the unveiling of this plaque commemorating the Great Fire of 1870 was author Terry Currie who wrote the book “The Ottawa Valley’s Great Fire of 1870� which was published in 2009. The historical plaque of cast bronze was produced by Alloy Foundries of Merrickville. The Goulbourn Township Historical Society has been working on this plaque project for the past two years, withstanding a bump along the way when provincial authorities refused to help fund the plaque on the basis that the fire was more of a local event than an event of provincial significance. The Historical Society went ahead and funded the plaque itself because of the significance of the event in the history of Stittsville. The city of Ottawa, through the efforts of councillor Qadri, supported the project by handling the installation of the plaque at Village Square Park. This unveiling of the Great
Fire of 1870 plaque was only one activity at this year’s Villagefest which enjoyed sunny skies and warm weather. Entertainment on stage at the eastern end of the park included the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the JJ’s, their associated youth choir, as well as other local performers such as the Curry brothers. There was a pet show presided over by Christine Hartig, a member of the Stittsville Village Association’s executive. It is the Stittsville Village Association which organizes and hosts this annual Villagefest event at Village Square Park. Village Square Park was filled with displays and other activities. There were games for youngsters. The Goulbourn Museum offered crafts for children. Stittsville District Lions Club members Don Redtman and Ken Jones were on hand at the Lions exhibit. Girl Guide Cookies were for sale. The Mississippi School of the Arts had an exhibit as did Genesis Dog Rescue and the Orpheus musical society. The Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville were on site with their food cart, dispensing hot dogs and hamburgers. There was a number of Ottawa Fire Service vehicles parked along Abbott Street adjacent to Village Square.

Watsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s casino wager the right call
D
espite the ethical hand-wringing that will inevitably accompany the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement last week that Ottawa will entertain any proposals from the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation to build a casino in the city, it is the right way to move forward on this issue. Casinos have been a reality in Ontario since 1994, in the capital region since 1996 and there have been slot machines at the Rideau Carleton Race-
way since 2000, meaning residents of this city have had plenty of opportunity to gamble for more than a decade. Getting squeamish about gambling at this point is a little naive â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gaming arrived in Ontario nearly 20 years ago. What is at issue is not if Ottawa will allow a casino, but where. Currently, gamblers travel to Gatineau or to the racetrack to place their bets. In the near future, OLG will close the slots at Rideau
Carleton, meaning any money made from gambling will leave the city, as will the jobs associated with the operation of the slots. It would be irresponsible for either Mayor Jim Watson or council to let this happen. As Watson said last week, â&#x20AC;&#x153;every Ottawa dollar spent at the Gatineau casino is a dollar lost for Ottawa taxpayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is time that we repatriate that money.â&#x20AC;? What is at stake is whether Ottawa will allow jobs, gambling revenue and
associated tourist dollars to stay in our city or leave for good. The mayor indicated any revenue generated for the city by a casino will be spent on infrastructure renewal, job creation and economic development, all areas that will be moving to the forefront of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda in the coming years. But gambling revenues wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be the only way building a casino could benefit the city. As the federal govern-
ment sheds jobs, new sources of employment will be vital to Ottawa. If one of those sources of new jobs is a casino, so be it. It wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just be a casino, however, as other hospitality businesses would benefit from a casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence, as would the more established Ottawa tourism industry. In order to ensure a casino is successful, the city will need to be brave enough to approve a location that ensures its success. This would likely involve a central location close to existing hotels and transit. To place it on the outskirts of the city would only deter tourists and serve
to limit the casinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to benefit the city, making the whole exercise a waste of public time and resources. Does all this mean the city and the province would not have a responsibility to educate residents about problem gambling or support those who have an addiction? Of course not - and it would only be appropriate that some portion of gambling revenue be directed towards expanding and improving those efforts. Gambling is nothing new to the Ottawa region and by firmly putting his support behind any future OLG casino proposal Watson has placed a good bet on the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

Life after the record storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demise CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
T
hese days, when you lament for the past you are not looking all that far back. Change happens so quickly that the latest thing becomes the previous thing in no time flat. DVD players came about 15 years ago. Five years after that they became dominant and people stopped renting videotapes. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to impossible to rent a DVD. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fast. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bet the mortgage on the next thing lasting all that long either. Think of how long radio was dominant before television took over. Think of how long phonograph records lasted before CDs came along. Decades and decades. Now within a single decade we see new systems emerge, disappear and be replaced by others which then disappear too. If you feel too lazy to try to keep up, join the club. Last week Sam Sniderman died at 92. He was the founder of the record store Sam the Record Man. Located on Yonge Street in Toronto it was the place to go for fans of all kinds of music, especially the less popular kinds. Eventually there were more than 100 Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s across Canada, including several here. There was a pretty good one at Carlingwood and a really good one at Bayshore, with the jazz and classical music in a special glassed-in section of the store. Anywhere in Canada, if you wanted a wide selection of classical music or jazz or folk music, Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was where you went. Where do you go now? You go online. And who is there? No one, except you. Some of the comment on the death of Sam has stressed that point - that there was always someone knowl-
edgeable around the store to consult if you wanted to know about the latest Miles Davis reissue. But, actually, there is no shortage of opinion available today, expert and otherwise. If you want to buy the latest Miles reissue you can scan the web and find out what everyone thinks about it. You can probably sample a track. Even though there is no one to talk to in a store, you can find what you need to know. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the absence of expertise that makes the passing of the record (later CD) store lamentable. Nor is it that there is less music available. There is more. Those of us who grew up desperately searching for jazz in small-town record stores and on the radio find ourselves facing riches beyond belief on the Internet. So why do we miss the record store? Why, for that matter, will we miss the book store. There is no shortage of ways to get books online and no shortage of books either. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because we feel we are at the mercy of technology. A record (or a CD) is a tangible thing. It is always there. Music on the Internet depends on your Internet connection; music on your computer depends on your hard drive not packing it in. It feels tenuous and temporary. Not to everyone, of course. It is not unusual to find people whose entire music collection is stored on a device smaller than, say, a DVD box. Their total embrace of the new technology is what has sparked the tremendous growth in online music and the death of the record store. To be fair, the record, or CD store, still exists. They are fewer and often drastically scaled-down. But a few stores, like Compact Music and CD Warehouse in Ottawa, are still fighting the good fight. In response to Sam Snidermanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, there has been comment on the feeling of community in the store and the loss of that community since it closed. There is, of course, a new community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is online and it will take some getting used to. When Marshall McLuhan talked about the â&#x20AC;&#x153;global village,â&#x20AC;? he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the villagers would be solitary people at their computer screens.

EMC news - How does $1 become $6? Easy. Just donate the money to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville to support Rotary’s End Polio Now campaign. That’s right! A one dollar donation can grow to six dollars thanks to a couple of commitments that have been made. First of all, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has committed to matching the first $1,600 donated by members of the public to the End Polio Now campaign. So, your $100, for instance, is now $200. But there’s more. The federal government, through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), will match any donations made to Rotary for this cause. So, the $200 now becomes $400. And, on top of this, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has made the same offer, so add another $200 to those Rotary funds, bringing the total to $600. That’s how a $100 initial donation, for instance, becomes $600. It is matched by the Rotary Club of Ottawa
– Stittsville (up to $1,600). This amount is then doubled by CIDA and then also doubled by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. There is a one million dollar cap on the CIDA and Gates matching funds donations. This End Polio Now campaign is meant to be a final push to get rid of polio in the world. This will be happening in the last three countries in the world where polio is still epidemic – Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. All donations of $20 or more will be issued an income tax receipt as well. Those wishing to donate to help eradicate polio in the world once and for all should send cheques to 28 Renshaw Avenue, Stittsville, Ont. K2S 1G9. The cheques should be made payable to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. For more information, please contact Rotary Club member Leo Maiorino at 613371-6975. Polio is a crippling, potentially fatal infectious disease. Polio cases have been declining rapidly in the world since 1985, with 99 percent of countries in the world now considered polio free. A final push is all that remains to be done to make the world polio free.

Winner just one off in candy jar guess at Fair Special to the News
EMC news - The winning number was 68. So Kayla Kranz’s guess of 67 candies in the jar at the Goulbourn Museum’s booth at the recent Richmond Fair was oh, so close!. Good enough, in fact, to end up as the winner of this candy counting contest. Kayla, 10, who lives in Richmond, not only won the jar of candy but also won a membership in the Goulbourn
Museum’s Kits’ Club. The four runners-up – Travis Ovens of North Gower, Emelie Villeneuve of Rockland, Lindsay Damini of Nepean and Lee Parks of Stittsville –all won memberships in the Museum’s Kits’ Club as well. The Goulbourn Museum’s Kits’ Club is a club for children. The normal membership fee is five dollars. A member of the Goulbourn Museum Kits’ Club
receives a membership card in addition to a seasonal newsletter filled with fun games and activities. Members of the Kits’ Club receive a prize when they have attended five of the family craft and activity days which the Museum holds monthly. Kits’ Club members can also visit the Museum at any time and enjoy its exhibits such as the general store which is always a fun attraction for youngsters. This children’s club is
called a Kits’ Club because kits are the name for baby foxes. In history, Goulbourn has a special relationship with foxes because of the death of the Duke of Richmond who died, according to common legend,
by a rabid fox. The Duke died just after visiting the new settlement of Richmond in 1819 and a national historic monument at a site just outside Richmond marks his death. Over the years, the fox has become a symbol of Rich-
mond because of this legendary relationship to the Duke of Richmond and his death. A fox was adopted as a visual representation of Richmond for the community’s 175th anniversary celebrations in 1993.

dour on this particular day. A buzz of chatter flowed from the Trail as students – some in pairs, some in small groups – made their way along the Trail, a former railway track that has foliage on both sides camouflaging its presence through much of Stittsville. Terry Fox Runs are now held in over 60 countries around the world. The first Terry Fox Run was held in Canada in 1981, just a year after Terry Fox’s own Marathon of Hope in which he hoped to cross Canada but had to stop near Thunder Bay due to a recurrence of his cancer. The Terry Fox Foundation, which has organized Terry Fox Runs since the Foundation’s formation in 1988, has raised over $600 million for cancer research.

Yes, that’s right, everyone is welcome to attend the annual fall supper at Stittsville United Church where all of this – turkey, ham, etc. – will be on the menu. And you don’t have to eat it there at the church because there is takeout available for those who wish to enjoy this meal at home.

GRC marks Sports Day in Ottawa Special to the News
EMC sports - It was declared as Sports Day in Ottawa, part of a wider Sports Day in Canada. And among the locations across the city where free events were happening on this Sports Day in Ottawa last Saturday, Sept. 29 was the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) right here in Stittsville. Sport and physical activity were front and centre at the GRC on this special day, with youngsters in particular encouraged to try out various activities. Among the activities offered were free swimming, free public skating, ball hockey, basketball, tug-of-war, a fitness boot camp and a family fun run. This Sports Day in Ottawa was proclaimed by mayor Jim Watson. The local event is associated with Sports Day in Canada, a national celebration of sport in communities across the country. Sports Day in Canada is an initiative of CBC Sports, ParticipACTION, and True Sport, working with various national sporting organizations along with municipalities such as the city of Ottawa. Ottawa Public Health and Motivate Canada were also involved. Sports Day in Canada is supported financially by Sport Canada, Subway Restaurant and new Balance Canada.
October is Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month More than 47% of adults in Ontario have been exposed to or know someone who is the victim of child abuse and neglect. In Ottawa alone, only 42% of residents claim to know how to report abuse directly to the CAS. These numbers suggest there are far too many vulnerable children and youth, without a voice, in our community. During Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month, through a variety of media outlets and social media tools, it is the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s mission to educate the public about the prevention of abuse.
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
Jeramiah Roy has fun on an inflated bounce set up at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex for Sports Day in Ottawa last Saturday, Sept. 29.
“People feel it’s hard to infringe on parental rights, and they’re naturally hesitant to involve themselves,” says Barbara MacKinnon, Executive Director of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa. “When reporting to CAS, it doesn’t mean we are going to remove a child from their home. It is about assessing the situation and discovering whether the family may benefit from support services.” Signs may not always be obvious in a child who has been abused or neglected. This is why it is our responsibility, as a community, to stay informed of the signs of abuse and learn when and who to call to help a child. “If your gut tells you that something’s wrong, then it probably is,” continues MacKinnon. Not all calls received by CAS result in an investigation, and only an extremely small percentage of investigations require that a child or youth be removed from the family home. Most often, the intervention involves simply connecting the family to services within the community. Last year, in more than 90 per cent of cases where CAS became involved, work was done with the family and the child stayed home.

Family atmosphere at Pathway Jiu Jitsu John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It’s called Pathway Jiu Jitsu., a fitting name since jiu jitsu can be viewed as a pathway to personal respect and fitness. But in this case it could just as appropriately be called Family Jiu Jitsu. That’s not only because it is very much a family enterprise involving dad Don Hickey and sons Tim and Ryan Hickey but also because there is a desire to keep class numbers small, incorporating a family-type atmosphere into its operation. Don Hickey, who is the head instructor, just recently was elevated to 4th dan or fourth degree black belt (an eighth degree black belt is the highest possible). He has been involved with martial arts since he was 18 and believes in keeping class numbers small. He doesn’t want to be what he terms a “belt factory,” but rather wants to offer “more of a family type of thing” catering to parents and their families. He had been operating a small dojo or training place in the basement of his Stittsville home for years. Indeed, both of his sons, Tim and Ryan, who are now instructors with him at Pathway Jiu Jitsu, began their martial arts involvement in this basement dojo
when they were very young. Both now hold the designation of 1st dan (first degree black belt). So, keeping classes small and intimate is very much what Don and his sons are used to and this will be carrying on in their new 1200 square foot premises at 67 Iber Road in Stittsville – the home of Pathway Jiu Jitsu. And if you ever wanted evidence of how jiu jitsu can benefit in the development of character, hard work, leadership and integrity, you have to look no farther than Don’s two sons, Ryan and Tim. Graduates of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, both served as head boys at the school. Both are now at the University of Ottawa, with Ryan pursuing a degree in bio-chemistry while Tim is enrolled in a political science program. Ryan hopes to eventually obtain his PhD in medical physics and enter a career in radiation research. Tim is looking forward to a career in law. Don is proud of both of them, calling them “exceptional kids.” Both have also been involved in various sports – Ryan in hockey, soccer, wrestling and figure skating and Tim in hockey, soccer and wrestling. Tim explains that jiu jitsu, like any martial arts, develops

In addition, it can be helpful in real life situations because it involves a lot of practical self-defense techniques. While Don Hickey and his sons Ryan, 20, and Tim, 18, are the main instructors at Pathway Jiu Jitsu, they also can call on Sensei Michel Leblanc and Sensei Ray Zwicker to help with any of the more specialized techniques. Sensei means master or teacher. Don
and his sons have all studied and trained themselves under both of these Sensei. Pathway Jiu Jitsu is offering programs that can lead right up to a black belt. There are programs for kids, youth and adults, including low impact and sparring programs. Programs can run for three months, six months or a year. Participants can attend as many classes in a week as they wish but twice a week at-
tendance is typical. Don makes it clear that at Pathway Jiu Jitsu all belts have to be earned. Evidence of discipline, commitment and respect are the determining factors in evaluating a student. Indeed, this is why smaller classes are preferred, because then the instructors get to know the students, their strengths and weaknesses and are better able to help them improve and
to motivate them. Don points out that Jiu Jitsu involves a lot of cardio and strength training, which develops flexibility and promotes fitness. Indeed, Ryan has used his figure skating experience in teaching power skating once a week at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. In addition, Pathway Jiu Jitsu has developed an off-ice training program for skaters involving dry land exercises that are complementary to their on-ice training. This off-ice training is designed to increase a skater’s flexibility, endurance, core strength and leg strength. There is a natural crossover between jiu jitsu and figure skating since success in both stems from physical fitness, dedication and mental strength. Whether applied to jiu jitsu or to skating, the Pathway approach makes athletes more aware of their bodies and helps them learn how to push themselves to achieve their goals. Ryan, from his skating experience, knows what muscles are most important for a skater and as a result the off-ice training program is able to target the development of these muscles. More about Pathway Jiu Jitsu can be obtained by phoning 613-314-3409 or by checking the website at www. pathwayjiujitsu.com

EMC news - The snowflake is often used as a traditional seasonal image leading up to or around the Christmas season, representing the traditional white Christmas. And this has been the case for years at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville which holds an annual event which is called a Snowflake Bazaar and Luncheon. This year this Snowflake Bazaar and Luncheon is being
held on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. And the “snowflake” name is most appropriate, because this is a great event at which to pick up some items that are ideal for Christmas gift giving – crafts, baking, preserves and jewellery. These can be unique gifts to be given at Christmas time,
just like every snowflake which falls from the sky is a unique shape, leading to the popular and widespread belief that no two snowflakes are alike. There will also be Christmas puddings on sale, as well as used books, gently used children’s clothing and toys and more. There will even be a silent auction. So, get in the spirit of the coming Christmas season –
attend this Snowflake Bazaar and Luncheon. And, besides all of the items on sale, there will also be a great luncheon that you will be able to enjoy. The menu at this luncheon includes homemade soup, rolls, cookies and squares. There will be hot dogs available for the children. Cost of the luncheon is a most reasonable $6 for adults and $3 for children (eight and under). R0011660723_1004

Councillor for Hire Miller’s Oven in Manotick was my most recent Councillor for Hire employer and they put me right to work serving the first table that came in. Fortunately, the table was just the three ladies that work in my office so I gave them poor service and moved on to the next task. I spent most of the day working in the kitchen baking cheese and garlic scones, serving lunch and sampling pie, I mean serving pie. It was a great opportunity to spend some time with the hard working volunteers and the dedicated staff at Miller’s Oven, who have made it the place to be in the village for nearly three decades. If you’ve never been, I encourage you to support Miller’s Oven. This non-profit restaurant has been managed by the Rideau Miller’s Oven Seniors Committee since the 1980’s and is run in part by a dedicated group of seniors and students who volunteer their time in this historic building on Mill Street. Whether looking for a great meal or even to volunteer, drop by at 1137 Mill Street in Manotick between 9am-4pm daily. Upon visiting, you may notice a “tip jar”. That tip jar has collected $250,000 over the years which have then been donated back into the community to seniors groups, outreach efforts, and the food bank. I had a lot of fun at Miller’s Oven and I definitely learned a few things about this historic restaurant that I did not know. Thanks to the staff for having me! Thanksgiving Weekend in Rideau-Goulbourn The Inaugural Scott Moffatt Kids Classic Golf Tournament is this Friday at the Canadian Golf & Country Club. There is still time to register to play and you can also come just for dinner. Visit www.scottmoffattkidsclassic.com for more details.

The Harvest Festival takes place within Dickinson Square and features horse drawn wagon rides, pumpkin art, face painting, and Junkyard Symphony. All events take place between 11am and 4pm on Saturday, October 6th.

Get ready for Snowflake Bazaar
Monday evening, I had the pleasure of hosting my fourth Mid-Term Town Hall meeting in Munster. After meetings in Kars, Richmond, and Burritt’s Rapids, we had our largest crowd to date and I thank all who showed up to listen, provide feedback and have your questions heard. In each and every Town Hall, I begin with a presentation on various City issues such as LRT, Lansdowne, the Budget, and so on. I then move to more local issues and focus solely on the community in which I am hosting the meeting. To that end, I’d like to provide some information that I presented this week for anyone who was unable to attend. One of the common concerns in any rural community is the state of our roads. As part of the 2012 Budget, we put forward the Ottawa on the Move program which sees $340M invested into our infrastructure over the next three years. In the Munster area, this means resurfacing of Dwyer Hill Road, from Bleeks to Franktown; Flewellyn Road, from Munster to Ashton Station; and Mansfield Road, from Conley to Munster. While Dwyer Hill was completed this summer, Flewellyn will be resurfaced in 2013 while Mansfield will be resurfaced in 2014. Keeping with roads, we have also invested money this past summer in several of our gravel roads, bring them up to a higher standard. They include Fallowfield Road, Kettles Road, Munster Road, Soldier’s Line Road, McCaffrey Trail, Black’s Side Road and McLinton Road. On the issue of development, in the village proper, there are neither current applications nor potential for any. Most conversations around Munster tend to be on the topic of Talos Homes. While it is true they have secured some land adjacent to the village boundary, there are currently no plans to expand the village boundary and development cannot occur within 1km of said boundary meaning any potential development could not take place until a boundary expansion. Having gone through an extensive urban boundary expansion following the 2009 Official Plan Review, there are no current plans to expand boundaries in the urban area or the villages during the 2014 review which is just beginning. The closest development to Munster is the Ridgewood Estates development on Flewellyn Road near Dwyer Hill Road. Ridgewood Estates is a 77 lot development that is still meeting conditions of approval, but lots have been sold and construction may start in 2013. Other issues we discussed included some recent upgrades at the Munster Community Centre which include accessible washrooms, a new gazebo, sixteen new trees and new signage at the corner of Munster and Dogwood. Thanks again to everyone who took the time to attend the meeting. The next town hall in the Goulbourn area is at Ashton Christ Church on October 24th from 7-9pm. Next week, I’ll be in Manotick on the 9th, Beckett’s Landing on the 10th and then in North Gower the following week on the 18th.

Raising funds, awareness for hospice care john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Hospice care can and is happening at the Ottawa Mission. It is also happening once a week at a day hospice at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church hall in Richmond. And it is happening elsewhere in the Ottawa community thanks to Friends of Hospice Ottawa, Maycourt and Bruyere Continuing Care. And while St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church in Richmond held a fundraising walk for hospice last Sunday, Sept. 30, the first of what hopefully will be an annual event, the event had more than just raising funds behind it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about raising awareness,â&#x20AC;? Rev. Michel Dubord, rector of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, told those who attended last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the Blockâ&#x20AC;? walk in some introductory remarks which he made before introducing the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keynote speaker, Marg Smeaton, manager of health services at the Ottawa Mission which operates a 14 bed hospice. But more about that a little later. Rev. Dubord explained that this hospice walk in Richmond is something that he had wanted to organize for some time now. One of the reasons is to provide some funds to support the hospice at the Ottawa Mission, explaining that many do
not even know of its existence and yet it does some wonderful work, providing end-oflife care for the homeless. He said that although there is a fundraising Hike for Hospice annually in May, it usually provides support for other better known hospice programs and services such as those provided by Friends of Hospice Ottawa and Maycourt and not for the rarely mentioned hospice at the Ottawa Mission. A portion of the funds raised by this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the Blockâ&#x20AC;? walk last Sunday in Richmond are going to the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice Fund which is used to help offset some of the minor operational costs associated with the once-a-week day hospice which happens at the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church hall in partnership with Friends of Hospice Ottawa. Rev. Dubord said that St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is committed to the philosophy of day hospice care and wants to ensure that there will always be a day hospice in Richmond. But this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the Blockâ&#x20AC;? walk is also part of Rev. Dubordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort to raise awareness of hospice palliative care in general. He said that in the coming year, the church hopes to hold information sessions about hospice palliative care, telling about the resources that are

Marg Smeaton of the Ottawa Mission, in her remarks, pointed out that the Mission, which started in 1906, is much more now than just a shelter for the homeless. It provides a variety of programs such as an addictions program, dental care, a kitchen training program, a computer lab, 1200 daily meals and health services including the hospice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the only hospice attached to a shelter in all of North America,â&#x20AC;?

Hike for Hospice fundraising in May of each year basically because there is no one there who has the time to take on the task of coordinating its involvement in this Hike for Hospice event. Ian Henderson, a grief educator who presents grief workshops at St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church and who is now working on setting up a new grief support group at the church, related his experiences working with the Ottawa Mission, including involvement with the addiction program there and with providing clothing to the Mission donated by spouses of those who have died. It was at 1 p.m., following these remarks by Rev. Dubord, Ms. Smeaton and Mr. Henderson and after a BBQ lunch of hamburgers, that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Around the Blockâ&#x20AC;? walk left the church hall, with about a dozen walkers taking part. And although the numbers were somewhat small in this initial effort, the funds raised were not. A total of $1,025 was raised, 75 percent of which will go to the hospice at the Ottawa Mission, with the other 25 percent going to the St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice Fund. Rev. Dubord issued this thank you message following the walk: â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of the members of St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church, I would like to thank all those who came out in support of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospice Walk.â&#x20AC;? We raised $1,025 of which $769 will go to the Ottawa Mission Hospice. Many thanks to Marg Smeaton, manager of health services at the Ottawa Mission, and Ian Henderson, grief educator for Bereavement Ottawa. Their work is of tremendous value and we appreciated the words they shared with us on Sunday afternoon.â&#x20AC;?

Although this 27 year old eventually had to return to hospital where he died, this experience showed the Ottawa Mission that it could provide something for the homeless facing life threatening illnesses. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the hospice which now has 14 beds began. The average stay at the hospice at the Ottawa Mission is three to six months, although some stay for as long as two years. The longer time for stays than with other hospices is related to the fact that when at the Ottawa Mission hos-

EMC sports - The high school football season has begun for the Sacred Heart High School Huskies. Playing in the 12 team tier two senior football league, the Huskies lost 34-0 to the visiting St. Joseph High School Jaguars in Stittsville on Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 26. The Huskies were behind 20-0 at half time in the game which saw a brisk wind blowing from north to south down the field. Head coach Curtis MacNeil has a rookie-laden team this season, with many of the players never having played football previously. In addition, the Huskies have no players involved with community football this season. Such players can usually be relied upon for leadership and solid play. Coach MacNeil said that in the team practices this week, the Huskies would be working on some football fundaments such as some basic offensive plays and tackling.

Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa opens in Stittsville Special to the News
EMC news - Three cheers for Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa. Over the past decade, Cheer Sport Sharks have become a recognized and respected name in the world of cheerleading. And now it has come to Stittsville to offer its wide range of cheerleading programs for athletes of all ages and skill levels. It was on Saturday, Sept. 8 that city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was on hand at the new Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa gym at 119 Iber Road in Stittsville to officially cut the ribbon opening the facility and to welcome Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa to the community. Alana Potter, owner and co-founder of Cheer Sport Sharks, was on hand for this official opening along with Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa program director Kelly McCarney. Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa has an exciting inaugural year ahead, not only with cheerleading competitions but also with community events. The first community event will see Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa work with Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) to host a public collection of unwanted computers, TVs and other electronics for recycling. This will keep this electronic waste out of land-
fill and help create a greener, healthier environment. This public drop-off of electronic waste will be held
on Saturday, Oct. 13 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the parking lot at the Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa at 119 Iber Road in
Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to drop off unwanted electronics. And perhaps you can also use the event as an
opportunity to check out the Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa gym while you are there. Alana Potter and Ali Mof-

Small Business Week Events
fatt are the co-founders of Cheer Sport Sharks. It all started over ten years ago when their dream combined with their passion for coaching and for the sport of competitive cheerleading to create Cheer Sport Sharks. They had been cheerleaders together in high school in Oakville and began coaching the sport as teenagers. Cheer Sport Sharks began in 2003 when Ali and Alana, graduating from university, joined forces and relocated to Cambridge, Ont., combining their coaching talents. They leased a small gym and grew to capacity. In 2007, they moved into a larger gym which allowed them to expand their programs. They also expanded to Guelph and Ancaster. By 2010, Cheer Sport Sharks was using a second gym and was bursting at the seams. It needed a new home that could accommodate its 30 teams and 550 athletes. Alana and Ali purchased land and custom designed a new gym that is now Canada’s largest free standing cheerleading gym. This successful Cheer Sports Sharks program has now come to Stittsville and the Ottawa area with the opening of the Cheer Sport Sharks Ottawa gym on Iber Road in Stittsville.

50th reunion for grade one class of 1962 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - A half century ago, they were grade one students at Richmond Public School. Last Saturday, Sept. 29, 18 out of the 32 students in this 1962 class were at the home of Laura and Dave Tupper near Kars to attend a 50th anniversary reunion of the class. It turned out to be an exciting and memorable occasion for those who could attend, involving lots of “catching up” and chatting, a group photograph, a pot luck dinner and a flow of memories. The reunion was the brainchild of Julie Brown, Joyce Martel and Sheila Newland who then enlisted Laura Tupper to help plan the event and to enlist the help of others to spread
the word. And the word got spread pretty well. The invitation to this 50th reunion was extended to all of the students and teachers who were connected to this class at some point in its elementary school years. This amounted to 59 students in total, of which 28 classmates, 5 spouses and two teachers attended the actual event. Of the 32 students in the 1962 grade one class, 18 attended the reunion. In addition, grade one teacher Donna Foster attended as did Mike Roberts, who taught this group in grade eight. And even for those who could not attend, it was a time of re-connection with the past. Almost everyone was tracked down, although six members of the 1962 grade one class could not be found. They are Carol Shaver, Rhonda Wil-
liams, Shelly Caughill, Lisa Zimmerman, John Hodgkiss and Shane Gorman. The organizers would still love to hear from these six. Just phone Laura Hartin at 613-4892496. “One of the best things about growing up in a small community is that you really get to know everyone,” says Laura Hartin. “Seeing my classmates after 50 years was more like a big family getting together … it was so much fun to see how little we had changed.” Members of this 1962 grade one class at Richmond Public School who attended the reunion were Laura (Hartin) Tupper, Sheila Newland, Wendy (Marshall Sangiuliano, Cindy (Plunkett) Muldoon, Penny (Nesbitt) Lytle, Eleanor (Hill) Kelly, Eric Smith, Gerry Moore, Charles Stackhouse, Jeff Brown, Gary
Savignac, Eddie Wilson, Kevin Helmer, Julie (Adams) Brown, Pam (Rea) McCarthy, Ruth (Hodgins) Perron, Joyce (Foster) Martel, and Cathy (Wilson) Hugli. Those contacted but unable to attend were Kim (Brown) Helem, Donna (Helmer) Dunnagan, Brenda (Lusk) Houle, Judy (Vaughn) Rasa, Karen (Johns) Gaudreault, Wayne Knox and Sean Moore. One member of the class, Louise (Turnbull) Paul, has passed away while there are the six who could not be contacted. Teachers Mabel (Hamilton) Mann (grade four) and John Minter (grade two) were unable to attend. Principal Eber Caldwell has passed away as has Mrs. Saunders, the class’s grade three teacher. Grade five/six teacher Miss Lorna McLean could not be contacted.

Smashing Terry Fox Run fundraising goal Special to the News
EMC news - The goal was $271. The amount raised was
$1,258.50, almost five times the goal. And that means that stu-
dents at Munster Elementary School will be enjoying an opportunity to throw water
balloons and whipped cream pies at their teachers and principal.
That’s the deal that was struck in the preparations for the annual Terry Fox Run at

the school which took place on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 27. If the school’s fundraising goal of $271 was surpassed, then the water balloons and whipped cream pies would find themselves in students’ hands for a special event at the school this week. And the goal was not only surpassed – it was smashed, bringing on the plans for the Terry Fox challenge with water balloons and whipped cream pies this week. The students gathered outside the school in sunshine, under blue cloud-splattered skies, on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 27 for the school’s annual Terry Fox Run. Before the event got underway, members of Ms. Tracy Wright’s grade two class unveiled, through the use of giant cards, the amount being raised up until that point by the Terry Fox Run this year $1,258.50. Then, following a warm up session that included a variety of stretches, the students and teachers were off on their Terry Fox Run, circling the school yard. Students ran and walked together, some in pairs, some in larger groups, as they went round and round the school yard, making a difference just like Terry Fox did with his initial Marathon of Hope run.

Stittsville Royals chalk up two straight wins John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC sports - The Stittsville Royals are ďŹ&#x201A;ying high. The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League team chalked up two straight wins last weekend to jump into a tie for ďŹ rst place in the Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Division with a record of three wins and two losses in ďŹ ve games. Last Sunday afternoon at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, the Royals took an early
2-0 after one period and held on for a 6-4 victory over the visiting Shawville Pontiacs. Six different Royals scored in the game: Ryan Bochert, Jordan Bosley, Alex Hulford, Nate Blenkarn, Kevin Groulx and rookie Michael Di Bello with his ďŹ rst Junior hockey goal. Earning assists in the game for the Royals were Kyle Drisdelle with two and Jake Oliver, Ryan Bochert, Michael Kalyn, Steve Genier, Kevin Groulx, Scott Barnes and Corey Drisdelle, all with one.
Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; goalie Karsten Pankhurst stopped 38 of 42 shots directed at the Stittsville net. This victory over Shawville followed on the heels of an 8-2 win over the Renfrew Timberwolves in a game in Renfrew last Friday, Sept. 28. The Royals jumped out to a 3-0 lead after the ďŹ rst period and led 6-1 after two periods. The Royals scored the ďŹ rst ďŹ ve goals of the game. Scoring for the Royals in this
game were Alex Hulford with two goals and Scott Barnes, Kyle Drisdelle, Ryan Bochert, Kevin Groulx, Steve Genier and Jake Oliver, all with one goal each. It was the ďŹ rst goal of Ryan Bochertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior hockey career. Kyle Drisdelle also added three assists while Matt Kadolph, Kevin Groulx, Aaron Hickie and Alex Bouchey all earned two assists in the game. Single assists were picked up by Brandon Lee and Alex Hulford.
Arun Kumar in the Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; net stopped 29 of the 31 Renfrew shots directed his way. The Stittsville Royals are playing two games at home at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex this coming Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The Stittsville Royals will face off against the visiting Ottawa West team this Sunday, Oct. 7 at 2:30 p.m. and then will take on the visiting Perth Blue Wings on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 8, again with a 2:30 p.m. opening faceoff.

Michaelmas last Friday, Sept. 28.
Fall baking blitz to celebrate Michaelmas John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The sights, sounds and smells of apple, fallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s iconic harvest food, filled the classrooms and halls at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville last Friday, Sept. 28. Indeed, the ongoing student activity of making apple crisp as well as other harvest staples such as pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, rhubarb cakes, herb bread and butternut squash soup
created a steady stream of items to be baked in the oven at the school, all in preparation for a fundraising bake sale in the afternoon. The funds raised are going for improvements to the school property. It was all happening to mark the celebration of Michaelmas, the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel, a festival which goes back to medieval times and which Waldorf founder Rudolf Steiner considered as the second most important religious festival
after Easter. Michaelmas, falling near the equinox, is associated with the beginning of autumn and the shortening of days. It has traditionally been a time not only to celebrate the harvest but also a time to fortify people against the coming, scary winter. This is where dragon bread comes in, as eating it along with some ginger marks the celebration of the harvest but also imparts the courage to
face the impending winter. Ginger, eaten with the dragon bread, is to put the fire of courage in the belly. The dragon bread, which was made by students in the grade five/ six class, was taken from classroom to classroom, with each student being offered a piece of the dragon bread along with some ginger, as per tradition. There was even gluten free parts of the dragon, made specially for those students who must follow a gluten-free diet.

Michaelmas is the feast honouring Saint Michael the Archangel, the most powerful of the archangels who is known for defeating Lucifer, the devil, in battle in heaven. As a principal angelic warrior, Saint Michael the Archangel is seen as a protector against the dark of winter. During the Middle Ages, Michaelmas was celebrated as a holy day of obligation, a tradition that ended in the 18th century.

Plenty to be thankful for Every day back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s, according to Mother, was a day of thanksgiving. Looking back, there was indeed much to be thankful for. And as Thanksgiving is upon us, perhaps it is appropriate that those things we took for granted so many years ago, should be remembered. So what are some of the memories of those Depression years that have lasted through the decades? Those that in recalling them have me wondering what has happened to what we took for granted so long ago? Let me turn back the clock and take you back to a more gentle time, as I recall with thankfulness lessons learned and a way of life that was more safe and secure. I will be forever grateful that I lived in a time when it was perfectly safe to walk five kilometres of back country roads to a school without fear. Even in the cities so far away children felt secure and a motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warning was not to be wary of strangers, but rather to keep out of the ditches of water so that we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t catch our deaths of cold. I am thankful I lived in an era where the owner of the general store trusted his customers. Where you filled your own bag of cookies, put it on the scale yourself and had the cost added to your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill which hung on a nail behind the counter. And if you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for your groceries, you could offer a trade. Sometimes weeks would go by and no money changed hands. It was a time when a young child was taught that honesty was all a part of doing business. I am thankful today that I grew up in an era where a deal was made with the simple shake of a hand and it was binding. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take a lawyer to draw up papers to trade a couple head of cattle for an old Model T or a load of hay or to exchange a steer or a few loads of gravel for your first car.
Today, I am thankful I grew up in a home where there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lot of money for frivolities. It was a time when we children made our own fun. Toys from a piece of whittled wood, playthings like empty spools of thread, a button box and Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue, all filling hours of fun and not costing a penny. I am thankful today that because we lived in a house overflowing with aunts and uncles, cousins, and grandparents, I learned at an early age what it meant to be tolerant. I was taught that it was more blessed to give than receive. In giving up our bed for an elderly aunt, Mother reminded us how the aunt enriched our lives with her stories, her hand-knitted mitts, and pans of Johnny Cake, the best I have ever tasted. Today, I am thankful we had a wonderful doctor who would drive out from Renfrew, plowing through snow and blinding rain and whose only pay might be a dressed chicken or a couple dozen eggs and some fresh butter. I remember him sitting by the bed of a very sick little girl until the dawn crept into my bedroom window and my fever broke. I am thankful today that I grew up in a home where every child had a special worth. Where even the youngest was made to feel important and daily chores, done to a parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s satisfaction, was all part of growing up. We were taught that it was all right to fail, and that from each failure came a lesson. This is the legacy handed down to us by a generation of people who, although never rich in material wealth, were rich in the things that mattered. This is the time to be thankful for that era that made us what we are today and to be truly thankful for all the blessings we enjoy today living in a free and bountiful country. May each of you have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Blessing of animals in honour of St. Francis Special to the News
This chop suey is not a Chinese dish; give it a try Before you start, measure the candied fruit into a sieve and rinse it under cold water to remove excess sugar or syrup. Spread the fruit on two sheets of paper towel and blot up as much of the water as you can. Set aside. If your machine has an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? option allowing the user to add fruit or nuts automatically, measure the raisins into the section for â&#x20AC;&#x153;extras.â&#x20AC;? If it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, you will have to add the raisins later. Place the water, milk powder, egg, salt, sugar and butter in the bread machine pan in that order. After measuring the flour, use about two tablespoons of it to lightly dust the candied fruit. Place the remaining flour in the bread pan and then add the floured fruit. Leave a small area free of fruit, and measure the yeast into that spot - you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the yeast sticking to the fruit and not mixing into the batter. Set the bread machine for the â&#x20AC;&#x153;sweetâ&#x20AC;? cycle or on some machines itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;fruit and nutâ&#x20AC;? cycle. If it has the automatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, press the â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? button. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the â&#x20AC;&#x153;delayâ&#x20AC;? cycle with this loaf. This recipe makes a 1.5-pound loaf. If your bread machine has a setting for different loaf sizes, press the one for this size. Start the machine. If your machine doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the automatic â&#x20AC;&#x153;extrasâ&#x20AC;? feature, it will beep when it is time to add extras. Add the raisins and let the machine continue until the bread is done. Remove the loaf from the pan and let it cool for an hour before slicing.
on or around his feast day of Oct. 4. This is what is happening at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond this Saturday, Oct. 6 when Rev. Michel Dubord will conduct a blessing of animals from noon until 3 p.m. in honour of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The blessings will take place in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quiet Garden, certainly a place of
natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beauty and indeed a fitting backdrop for such an event. However, if there is inclement weather, the blessing of animals will take place in the church. Everyone is most welcome to attend this blessing of animals, dropping in anytime between noon and 3 p.m. Animals of all kinds will be blessed.
Fall roast beef supper at Munster United Church Special to the News
EMC news - Mark down Saturday, Oct. 20 as the date for a fall supper of roast beef with all the fixings hosted by Munster United Church. There will be two sittings for this supper: one at 4:30 p.m. and a second at 6 p.m. Anyone wishing tickets should contact Mary Tubman at 613-838-5473. Everyone is most welcome to attend.
The current stone Munster United Church opened in 1894 as it replaced a previous brick church building which had burned down in 1884. This stone Munster United Church was a Methodist Church when it opened, becoming the Munster United Church at the time of Church Union in 1925. The congregation itself, though, traces its roots back to 1823.
FREE WSIB SEMINAR R0011643931
On one of our visits to Jeffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents, his mother and I went shopping in the local supermarket. In the bakery section, we came across a loaf of bread called a chop suey loaf. We could see that it contained fruit, not Chinese vegetables, and decided to give it a try. With a soft texture and bits of candied fruit scattered through each slice, it was delicious, plain or toasted. After some experimenting when I got home, I came up with a similar loaf that I could make in my bread machine. To make this, use the diced candied fruit that you use in holiday baking. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available year round from many bulk food stores and in the supermarkets around Christmas. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to rinse the candied fruit with water to remove excess sugar. This gives the bread a lighter texture. The recipe calls for skim milk powder and water. In some recipes, you can substitute milk for the dry milk powder, but not in this one. Milk makes the loaf heavy and dense, while the skim milk powder gives a much lighter texture. Chop Suey Loaf 3/4 cup water 1/4 cup skim milk powder 1 egg 1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. white sugar 2 tbsp. butter or margarine, at room temperature 2 1/3 cups flour 1 cup candied fruit 1/4 cup raisins 1 1/4 tsp. bread machine yeast
EMC news - St. Francis of Assisi is known as the patron saint of animals as well as the environment and Italy. He preached that it is the duty of mankind to protect and enjoy nature as both the stewards of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation and as creatures themselves. That is why a custom has grown for churches to hold ceremonies blessing animals

YORK, Jamie In loving memory of our dear Jamie who left us so suddenly and tragically while at work, October 6, 2009. He is gone, but not forgotten, And, as it dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come o’er us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, That lies in the heart concealed.
