Jack o’ lanterns to live for another day

Inside NEWS

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario, which has now submitted its final report that was published in the Canada Gazette and became official on Monday, Sept. 30, has created the riding of Rideau-Carleton which covers a large area across the southern part of the city of Ottawa.

News - Jack o’ lanterns have a chance to live beyond Halloween in both Stittsville and Richmond this year. At least for another 24 hours! That’s because there are jack o’lantern display events being planned in both communities for these postHalloween happenings on Friday, Nov. 1. In Stittsville, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is hosting a jack o’lantern evening walk from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the Trans Canada Trail near Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street. In Richmond, the Richmond Village Association (RVA) has decided to host a Halloween pumpkin walk at Memorial Park at the corner of McBean Street and Perth Street that same evening. In Stittsville, residents are being encouraged to take the carved pumpkin from the evening before and placed it along the Trans Canada Trail at Village Square Park. These jack o’ lanterns or carved pumpkins can be dropped off at Village Square Park anytime after 4 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1 in preparation for the walk that evening. Those dropping off these carved pumpkins are reminded to use a battery operated light to light up the pumpkin. No candles or open flames are allowed. During the Jack o’ Lantern Evening Walk, residents will be able to walk along the Trans Canada Trail and see the various jack o’ lanterns on display.

News - Rideau Carleton is a raceway and gambling spot which has been in the news a lot in recent months over the future of Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation operations in the city of Ottawa. But the term Rideau Carleton is now

going to have another meaning as well, especially for residents of Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn. That’s because Rideau-Carleton is the name of the federal riding in which Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn will now be located. No longer will Stittsville be in a federal riding with Kanata as has been the case in recent years. The Federal

GRAND OPENING

R0012342799

News - Over the years, the walls of this stand-alone building at the Crossing Bridge Square plaza were lined with bottles of relaxing spirits as it was the home of Stittsville’s LCBO store. Now, the rejuvenated premises has its walls lined not with bottles that provide relaxation and enjoyment but with television screens of all shapes and sizes that provide relaxation and enjoyment in their own way. That’s because these former LCBO premises are now the second Ottawa area location of Stereo Plus & Design, a home theatre and electronics store that has been located in Orleans for 20 years. And Stereo Plus & Design is quite a player in the home electronics market. It is the biggest dealer in all of Canada of Pioneer Elite amplifiers for home theatres. It is also a major dealer for Jaymar sofas, sectionals and home theatre seating, for Panasonic electronic products and for Samsung televisions. And the store also handles Totem acoustic speakers as well as Marantz stereo equipment and more. “So we do a lot of business,� owner Carlo Urbisci says in explaining his store’s place in the local home theatre and electronics world. And the scope of the business is perhaps best revealed by the fact that Stereo Plus & Design has 12 full time installers on staff. They are that busy. Indeed, there are more installers on staff than sales personnel, an indication not only that the store is a busy, busy place but also that Stereo Plus & Design places an emphasis on dependable and quick customer service. Stereo Plus & Design decided to open a second location in Stittsville to complement its existing east end store in Orleans. Twenty percent of customers at the Orleans location were from the west end. And when market research revealed Stittsville to be a growing area, owner Carlo Urbisci decided on opening a second location. Initially he was looking at the new shopping areas along Hazeldean Road but premises there would not be available soon enough for his plans. That’s when he looked around and found the former LCBO stand-alone building at Crossing Bridge Square at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road. Indeed, he says that he fell in love with the location, as it is close by Brown’s Your Independent

Grocer, Farm Boy and McDonald’s, all of which have major customer traffic. And while he is happy with his current 5,000 square foot premises, he is looking ahead to purchasing a piece of property and erecting his own building. This is what he did in Orleans, moving into his own building six years ago. Stereo Plus & Design prides itself on meeting all home electronics needs, from the purchase of a simple TV to developing a home theatre to installing a home automation system. So whether its video and stereo including wireless HiFi systems , home theatre or home automation systems, Stereo Plus & Design can meet your needs. Furniture carried includes stands and racks, shelving, credenzas, tables, chairs and theatre seating. On the audio side of things, Stereo Plus & Design has receivers, speakers, amplifiers, tuners, CD players, turntables and stereo systems include Marantz stereo equipment. On the video side of things, Stereo Plus & Design has LED and plasma TV’s, outdoor TV’s, projectors, projector screens and Bluray players. Stereo Plus & Design held a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony at the store last Saturday, Oct. 5, with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri participating. This new Stereo Plus & Design store in Stittsvillre is open from Monday to Wednesday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Thursdays 10 a.m. -10 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sunday 12 noon to 4 p.m. The phone number is 613-435-8337.

Stittsville no longer with Kanata Besides Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn, the Rideau-Carleton riding includes the former Rideau township including Manotick as well as the Riverside South and Osgoode areas on the east side of the Rideau River. With a population of 89,522, this riding is 15.71 percent below the provincial standard of 106,213 for ridings. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) made a presentation to the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario, suggesting a minor boundary change and urging that the riding name include Stittsville. The minor boundary change was implemented by the Commission, namely making the Carp River the riding’s eastern boundary rather than Terry Fox Drive which, as initially proposed, would have included the small residential portion of the city of Kanata at the southwest corner of the intersection of Terry Fox Drive and Hazeldean Road (behind Sobeys in Kanata) in the riding instead of leaving it with the Kanata riding where it eventually ended up. As for the name, the Commission selected Rideau-Carleton, rejecting the SVA suggestion that the name include Stittsville, the largest community in the expansive riding. The name was also a concern to Pierre Poilievre, the current MP for Nepean-Car-

A parade will form up at the Richmond Shopping Plaza at 10:30 a.m. and march from there along Perth Street to Memorial Park.

In fact, you will even be able to vote for your favourite one as there will be prizes presented for the best jack o’ lanterns. Councillor Qadri’s staff will be serving free hot chocolate during the event and green bins will be on site to allow for the disposal of the pumpkins after the event. In addition, donations for the Stittsville Food Bank will be accepted at this Jack o’ Lantern Evening Walk in Stittsville. In Richmond, the Richmond Village Association (RVA) has decided to go ahead with such a Halloween pumpkin walk this year. Such an event had been proposed last year by RVA director Rosemary MacArthur but time was too short to organize it. This year it’s full speed ahead. Richmond residents are encouraged to bring their jack o’ lanterns to Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street on Friday evening, Nov. 1. It is expected to be a fun event, with everyone being able to see a wide selection of carved pumpkins, way more than could be seen by trick and treaters on their rounds the previous evening, Halloween. The RVA will arrange for the recycling of these pumpkins following the evening event. A jack o’ lantern is a carved pumpkin associated with the celebration of Halloween. It is named after the phe-

Monday, October 14 Last Day for Season

nomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs in the British Isles, called will-o’-the-wisp or jack-o’-lantern in English folklore. For a jack o’ lantern, the top is cut off of a pumpkin and the inside is scooped out, with an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved in the pumpkin. The tradition had its beginnings in the British Isles where turnips and beets are traditionally used. In North America, it is pumpkins which are used. The earliest use of jack o’ lanterns dates to the 1660’s in the British Isles. But it was in the 20th century that jack o’ lanterns became common across England. A carved pumpkin lantern associated with Halloween is recorded as early as 1866 in the United States. The carved pumpkin had originally been associated in the United States with the harvest season in general and not necessarily with Halloween. The Guinness Book of Records recognizes Keene, New Hampshire for having the world record for most jack o’ lanterns carved and lit in one place. This record was set in Oct. 2006 when 30,128 jack o’ lanterns were simultaneously lit on Boston Common.

leton, who objected to the Rideau-Carleton name for the riding, proposing instead just the name Carleton. The Commission rejected MP Poilievre’s suggestion, noting that the Rideau River is a prominent natural feature of this federal electoral district and for part of its southern boundary. The Commission did alter the RideauCarleton riding boundary from what was initially proposed, changing it so that the Canadian Tire Centre area, home of the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League, remained in the Kanata riding that is now going to be called Kanata-Carleton. The Commission agreed with arguments that Canadian Tire Centre has always been identified with Kanata and so it should remain in the electoral district which included Kanata. So the boundary now leaves highway 417 at Huntmar Drive, going south on Huntmar Drive to Maple Grove Road and then east along Maple Grove Road to the Carp River and then south along the Carp River to Terry Fox Drive. The initial Commission proposal had the boundary following highway 417 right to Terry Fox Drive and then south along Terry Fox Drive. With regard to the federal riding for Kanata, it will now be called Kanata-Carleton with a population of 100,846 and will essential cover the city of Kanata and West

Carleton. Its previous association with the Town of Mississippi Mills is no longer, as Mississippi Mills is now included in a Lanark County riding. The independent Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario was created in Feb. 2012 to set federal riding boundaries in the province so that each electoral district contained roughly the same number of people while also taking into account communities of interest or identity, historical patterns and geographic size. After considering the views of the public through a series of public hearings and listening to any objections from sitting members of the House of Commons, the Commission submitted its final report to the Chief Electoral Officer who transmitted it to the Speaker of the House of Commons and for publication in the Canada Gazette. The Chief Electoral Officer will use the Commission’s report when drafting the electoral map for future federal elections. It is expected that this new electoral map will be used for any general election which happens at least seven months after this fall. It is every ten years, after a Canadian census is held, that the number of electoral districts and their boundaries are revised to reflect population shifts and growth. It is now up to the provincial government whether it implements these new riding boundaries at the provincial level or not. This has been the case in the past.

See two artists with one stop on Studio Tour John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The old saying “to kill two birds with one stone” applies to one situation on the upcoming Stittsville Artists Studio Tour. By making one stop on Plainfield Court off Springbrook Drive in Amberwood, visitors taking the tour can visit two of the six artists on this year’s tour. And what is even better, the two artists have different styles, just like all of the six artists on the tour do, so it won’t be a case of déjà vu when you visit the second artist after visiting with the first one.

The two artists who live close together on Plainfield Court are Bernice Wills at 7 Plainfield Court and Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court. You park the car once and you get to visit the home studios of two artists – you can’t beat that! Bernice Wills has a light approach to her art, working in watercolours. She has studied art at St. Mary’s University in Halifax as well as under several well-known local artists. Her work has received awards in local juried shows and hangs in private collections in several countries including not only Canada but also England, Australia, South Africa and Japan. A veteran participant in the Stittsville Artists

Studio Tour which is marking its tenth year this year, Bernice will be showing six new paintings that she has done during the past year as well as some paintings from her collection that she has never shown previously. Her new paintings are all smaller ones with which she is very pleased and feels that they may prove popular

in today’s artistic environment. But what she likes most about this Stittsville Artists Studio Tour is just having people take the time to participate in the tour and drop by the six stops on the tour, chatting with the artists and looking at their work. See ARTISTS TOUR, page 7

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Stittsville artist Vera van Baaren holds her painting called “Family Outing” of a pair of mallard ducks followed by their family of ducklings. This will be one of the paintings which she will have on display and sale at the Stittsville Artists Studio Tour coming up on Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20.

She admits that it is great if someone purchases a piece of art but to her, this is an added bonus. For her, the real pleasure is in just having people drop by for a talk and a view of her paintings. “But just come and look at our paintings and we’re pleased,� she says. And after you have talked with Bernice and seen her paintings, you can drop in and do the same thing with her neighbour, Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court, all without even moving your car. Vera studied art in her native Netherlands before moving to Canada with her family in the 1970’s. During the late 1990’s, she started painting seriously again, mainly in watercolour and acrylic. She draws her inspiration mainly from nature. And so you will really want to see one of her new paintings that will be on display on the tour, namely a painting featuring a family of mallard ducks. The painting, which is three feet wide and half a foot deep, portrays a family outing of a pair of ducks, followed by their ducklings. Vera says that everyone who sees the painting seems to like it and she is hoping for a similar reaction from those on the tour. Vera will also have some other new paintings on display on the tour,

Diners Club Special to the News

News - It’s a time to socialize, to learn and have some fun, all at the same time. What could be better? Each month the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre, along with community volunteers, hosts a nutritional lunch complete wit entertainment and/or an educational program for seniors and adults with disabilities who are living in the Stittsville community. It’s called the Stittsville Diners Club.

Let’s talk about death

J

udging by the sad state of our province’s palliative care system, it’s time to have a conversation about death. The statistics are frightening. According to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, most Canadians would prefer to die in a home-based setting, yet nearly 75 per cent of all deaths occur in a hospital. Only 16 to 36 per cent of Canadians have access to hospice palliative care depending on where they live. The situation will only become worse over time, with the seniors’ population expected to double by 2036. Meanwhile, people are living longer, giving them time to develop more chronic diseases. Unfortunately, Ontario’s residential hospices are struggling to stay afloat, with a funding model that relies primarily on charitable donations. The Ontario government only started providing financial support for hospices during the past decade, leaving the responsibility of keeping them running to volunteers and community groups. After sustained lobbying from palliative care agencies, the federal government finally took action, providing $3 million in one-time funding for the Canadian Palliative Care Association to develop a plan to deliver quality end-of-life care across the country. The 2012-15 initiative advises provincial govern-

ments to have a clear policy on palliative care that promotes access and integrated delivery of services together with the necessary funding. But based on a recent interview with Ontario Health Minister Deb Matthews, we’re not confident that approach is even on her radar. The minister was recently in town for the opening of the Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre, promoting it as a way to provide less-costly and sometimes more appropriate options for expectant mothers. But when asked if she saw a parallel with using a similar cost-efficient model to offer non-medical care at a hospice, Matthews said she’d “have to think about that a little bit,� adding hospices will always be partially funded by communities, because it’s the communities who want them there. But the minister is not the only one guilty of avoiding a serious conversation about death. We all need to start talking about the state of our province’s palliative care system and the options available for quality palliative care. Individually, everyone should prepare an advance care plan, directing their care in the event of a lifethreatening illness. Collectively, we must force this on the legislative agenda at Queen’s Park. As it stands, today is not a good day to die.

Things that go beep in the night

S

omething went beep beep beep at 5:30 in the morning. Just loud enough to wake me up, not loud enough to wake up the whole neighbourhood. It kept going beep beep beep for it seemed like 10 minutes. Could have been a truck backing up, but what truck backs up continuously for 10 minutes? The first thought was that it was the sound of an electronic device wanting something. Electronic devices are very needy. If their batteries sink below a certain level, they start going beep, no matter what time it is. Then you have to remember whether the phone or the camera or whatever is in somebody’s purse or somebody’s jacket pocket or under a seat cushion somewhere. But it was none of those things. It was something outside. Or maybe in the garage. There was equipment left in the back yard for some work going on. Maybe a piece of that equipment needed something. But there was no beeping in the garage and nothing in the backyard. It was somewhere in the neighbourhood, but no idea where. By the time I got back to bed, it had stopped. I’ll never know what it was. Don’t think it was a car alarm. Remember when

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town those used to go off all the time? Now you never hear them. Maybe they’re made better. Maybe no one turns them on any more. Maybe they just make little beeps like the ones I was hearing. Trying then to get back to sleep, I pondered not only the neediness but the stupidity, and perhaps even perversity of our electronic devices. Long before the first cellphone was invented, Woody Allen had a stand-up routine about his war with the machines he owned. The toaster burned the toast. The clock ran counter-clockwise. The sun lamp rained on him. So he gathered all the appliances together and spoke to them reasonably, asked them to co-operate. A few days later, the TV set began to act

up and he attacked it in a rage. Two days later, he was in an elevator, which asked him for his floor. He said 16. The elevator said: “Are you the guy that hit the television set?� Then the elevator took him up and down fast between floors and let him off in the basement. Most of our machines are not that mean. Although I have a printer that demands to be realigned when it doesn’t need it. If I were Woody Allen I would have a little talk with it and tell it that it’s printing just fine the way it is. But I know there’s no reasoning with it, so I go through the whole realigning drill, which is time-consuming and inconvenient. The thing is, the printer is too stupid to know it doesn’t need realigning. The manufacturers probably thought the printer is really smart, because it can send me messages. But if the messages are wrong, what’s so smart about that? The same with those things that go beep beep beep. Children make noises when they need something but, except for the very young ones, they know it’s more effective to make noise when their parents are awake. Not so for cellphones, cameras and whatever that other beeping thing was. If machines

were really so smart, they’d know when people are sleeping. The fault is ours, of course. We, the technology-obsessed people of the world, taught machines to make noises, to send error messages, to demand upgrades. And if we don’t obey, they make our lives miserable. Which forces us to buy newer machines. The only possible solution is to turn them off whenever possible. You know they don’t like that because they’re always asking us to confirm that we want to do it. And there may well be a punishment down the road. But at least it stops the beeping for awhile.

200 and counting for Grand Harbour Inlet residents John Curry

Hydro Ottawa and Christie Lake Kids celebrate success of youth leadership centre

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It goes back to 1990 and now, 23 years later, residents of Grand Harbour Court – or at least a part of it – have met and enjoyed their 200th monthly meal together. They call themselves the Grand Harbour Inlet residents because their group involves just the residents on their end of the Amberwood street of Grand Harbour Court. It’s a tradition that started back in 1990 when Kay Tennant, a Grand Harbour Inlet resident, began the practice of neighbours getting together on a monthly basis for a meal. Initially, the group went out for dinner and travelled quite far afield to various restaurants. It was popular because it was a great way to keep in regular touch with neighbours and to introduce any newcomers to the neighbourhood and its residents. The last dinner was held in June 2008 when resident Marsha Wright hosted the group at the Cheshire Cat Restaurant at the corner of Carp Road and Richardson Sideroad. Since then, the dinners were replaced by lunches, with the first group lunch being held in Oct. 2008, hosted by Eileen MacDonald. This lunch format was more convenient for the residents as they were advancing in age and enjoyed the daytime outing. And as the area has developed, more and more restaurants have opened locally, meaning that the group did not have to travel as

The Grand Harbour Inlet group had a big celebration at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club on the occasion of its 100th outing together in Oct. 2001. Then, six years later, in March 2007, the group marked its 150th anniversary together with a dinner at the Holiday Inn. And this practice of marking special anniversaries for these Grand Harbour Inlet residents

monthly outings continued on Wednesday, Oct. 2 when 12 members of the group gathered at the Fresco Bistro Italiano restaurant at the Grand Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road to celebrate their 200th meal together. Two hundred monthly meals together over 23 years and more to come in the future. One of the earliest get-togethers for the group involved a funny hat party where residents were encouraged to wear

a funny hat to the gathering. Winner in the funny hat judging from that time was Wilf Daze, a Grand Harbour Inlet resident who was also at the 200th celebration last week. Grand Harbour Inlet residents who were at the 200th meal on Wednesday, Oct. 2 were Ruby Horne, Dorothy Birch, Denise Duffey, Ken Hawthorne, Trellis Lamarre, Midge Langley, Guy Lajoie, Wilf Daze, Marsha Wright, Eileen MacDonald, Elaine Ormrod and Ted Nixon.

“Contributing to the well-being of our community has always been a part of Hydro Ottawa’s core mandate”, said Hydro Ottawa President and CEO Bryce Conrad. “The programs that Christie Lake Kids offers build character and provide youth with practical, hands-on experience. Through our support, we are providing valuable life skills that help at-risk youth grow into healthy successful adults.” For seven weeks in the summer and eight weekends during the school year, youth aged 13-17 live and work together on Belle Island, building leadership and teamwork skills. The facility includes roof-mounted solar panels to power lighting, composting toilets, solar-heated showers, and a bicycle-powered water pump that works with a gravity-pressurized water system. More than 300 children and youth from Ottawa are expected to visit the site each summer to explore alternative sources of energy and sustainable living. “I think it’s important that kids can come to places like this because it gets them in touch with a different side of the world”, said Liam, a camper at Christie Lake Kids.

News - If you thought that you saw a space ship from Mars soaring about in the area last Sunday, you just might have, especially if you were in the vicinity of the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. That’s because the Museum was a virtual “space ship factoryâ€? for its “Mission to Marsâ€? family craft day last Sunday afternoon, with youngsters getting to make space ships as one of the featured crafts. And it wasn’t just any space ship. It could be a space ship carrying an alien, one made right there at the Museum by the youngsters themselves, another of the featured crafts. There was even a space ship parade during the afternoon, with more than half a dozen space ships ying through the Museum air. And space ships and aliens were not the only crafts made by the youngsters attending this family craft day. They also got to make telescopes through which they could peer and see a constellation of stars in the sky. Who knows – there might even be a space ship ying among those stars! This “Mission to Marsâ€? family craft day was one of the ongoing series of Sunday afternoon family craft days being held at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. It’s only a three dollar per child registration fee for the three-hour session, with the craft ideas and supplies all provided. For more information about these family craft days at the Goulbourn Museum, phone the Museum at 613831-2393 or email education@goulbournmuseum.ca . The next family fun day is a “Winter Wonderlandâ€? session where holiday crafts will be created. Spaces for this “Winter Wonderlandâ€? family craft day are ďŹ lling up fast, so early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment. The Goulbourn Museum is located at Stanley’s Corners at the intersection of Stittsville Main Street/Huntley Road and Flewellyn Road just south of Stittsville.

Critic portfolio for MPP MacLaren Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren was one of several Progressive Conservative MPPs given a critic portfolio last week by provincial Tory leader Tim Hudak. MacLaren was named the

critic for democratic and senate reform. Known for being passionate about democratic rights, he said he spoke with Hudak a month or so ago and was encouraged to lobby for this post. “We did not have a critic for democratic and senate reform provincially,� MacLaren said, adding the post is held federally

by Nepean-Carleton Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre. “I know him (Poilievre) well. I work well with him. He and are like minded and will work well together,� MacLaren said. “I’m looking forward to it (critic appointment). It is something a little different for me.� The local MPP admitted sen-

ate reform won’t likely include abolishing the senate and he, like many others, is eagerly awaiting the Supreme Court of Canada’s response to the five questions submitted by the federal government regarding what the feds can do with regard to senate changes. “We are looking at more modest change – following Alberta and having elected senators in Ontario,� MacLaren said, noting Prime Minster Stephen Harper

has said he would recognize elected senators from Alberta. MacLaren said another change that might be considered is shortening the term for senators. A written opinion on the federal government’s Senate questions should be forthcoming in the new year. Mr. MacLaren’s riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills includes Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn as well as Kanata, West Carleton and Mississippi Mills.

tootie & dolly John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Affordable infant apparel. Desirable. All made with organic cotton, using no harsh chemicals in the manufacturing process, ideal for a baby’s sensitive skins. Unbelievable. And on top of this, the clothing is cute. Amazing. But this desirable, unbelievable and amazing baby’s clothing can all be purchased right from a local online home-based business in Richmond – tootie & dolly, by name. Whether it is onesies, a polo shirt, beanies, a baby’s nightgown, socks, hats, night gowns, komonos or rompers, tootie & dolly totally organic infant apparel has it for you. And don’t forget the cozy organic blankets. It is cute, fun infant’s clothing that is 100 percent certified organic cotton fabrics with the added benefit that all dyes used in the manufacturing process are non-toxic and heavy metal free. So, the sensitive skin of an infant is surrounded by clothing that is far less irritating to that sensitive skin than non-organic clothing. And this isn’t coming from some big company. It’s coming from tootie & dolly, a family based online business started by Amanda Brown of Richmond, arising out of her desire to start her own business but also out of her belief that baby’s apparel should be organic, feature natural dyes and be affordable. She knows of what she speaks as she has two young ones herself, Talia and Kylie. So she knows what the challenges are for a mother with infants, trying to find organic, cute and affordable clothing. And the fact that she named her company after her two girls, using their nicknames (Dolly for Talia and Tootie for Kylie) shows that she wants and has a very personal connection to the apparel which she

sells. Each item bears the name of her daughters on its label – it’s that personal. Amanda admits that she has a passion for clothes and also wanted to start her own business. She did a lot of research on fabrics and concluded that organic apparel is far safer for newborns and their sensitive skin. And since cotton is the softest of all fabrics, she opted for organic cotton as her fabric of choice for her clothing. All natural dyes were an obvious corollary to this. Amands admits that she has had a lot of fun choosing the styles and colours that she is offering in her business which has now been up and running for over a year as she started in July 2012. While she wants her clothing to be stylish and comfortable, a key goal of hers was to have a fair, affordable price attached to it. As a mom herself with two young children, she wanted to keep prices affordable, in the $3 to $25 range depending on the item. And she has done this. Right now, tootie & dolly clothing is for infants up to three years old. Amanda would love to expand both her offerings and age range but she wanted to start small and grow in the business. She says that the rompers that she sells are probably her favourite item but on reflection, she changes her mind. “Geez, every item is my favourite,” she concludes. Soft, safe, simple and super cute – that’s what her vision is with her clothing. Customers, she says, are loving the simplicity of the clothing and its softness. “They love the fact that it is organic,” she adds. And don’t forget its affordability. She tries to set the prices so that an item is affordable and not sporting a price that she views as “out of this world.”

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Amanda Brown of Richmond is with some of the totally organic infant apparel which she sells through her online home-based business “tootie & dolly” found on the web at www.tootieanddolly.com . In addition, she points out that the quality is there in tootie & dolly apparel. Amanda has a personal hand in everything – she picks the colours and design of the clothing and even where the label goes. “Everything is my choice,” she says. And being a family, home-based business, she also fills the orders, prints out the packing invoice and takes the parcel to the post office for shipping. As the business does expand and grow, she says that everything will remain organic cotton. “You can’t beat the feeling,” she says about the use of cotton. Amanda says that starting and developing this online business has been exciting. Indeed, she recalls doing a dance when her first sale happened. Since then, she has had both returning and new customers and has

received lots of positive feedback. The apparel being sold includes day wear, pajama wear and more – even socks and hats. It’s literally a “head to toe” business. tootie & dolly offers free shipping on orders over $50 in value. The website at www.tootieanddolly.com has descriptions and prices for all of the items offered. Amanda tries to maintain a presence on Facebook and on Twitter and also has a blog where she provides helpful hints for new moms. “It’s like a mom to mom, here’s the advice,” she says. She has served customers in both Canada and the United States, with payments done via Pay Pal. Gift certificates are available and gift boxes are available. She puts a note in the gift package, saying who the gift is from. Amanda would like to see more Canadians purchasing from her company, buying from a Canadian

company. She says that she always gets excited when a local resident purchases from her. Amanda says that orders are filled very quickly thanks to her personal hands-on involvement as well as her readily available, on-hand inventory. She sees her future as remaining as an online business because she believes such shopping is convenient, especially with the quick shopping that she offers. On her website, Amanda sums up how success is calculated by her in this online business of hers: “Success for tootie & dolly is knowing that our customers are 100 percent satisfied with our service and products. We promise to provide quality, value and speedy delivery of each and every item in the store.” It doesn’t get any better than that and that is what tootie & dolly is all about. It’s totally organic infant apparel, being sold online but based right in Richmond.

Rosemary Holt’s art John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - This past September, the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library came alive with the detailed artwork

of Stittsville artist Rosemary Holt. Due to their detailed nature and colouring, each of the nine pieces on display seemed as if the scene were alive, right there on the wall before us, as if the viewer were looking

through a rectangular porthole onto a real scene. Indeed, a description of the exhibit at the Art Space Wall noted the reality found in Ms. Holt’s detailed work, stated as follows: “These images, captured first in memory, and now as works of art, are seemingly in motion as if in the next blink of an eye, we will see

NOW IS THE

TIME TO SWITCH!

100GB OF DATA/MTH2 WITH SPEEDS UP TO

the next moment take shape before us.” This realism flows from Mrs. Holt’s approach to her art and its detailed nature. “This is my thing,” she says. “Always detail, detail, detail.” She accomplishes this by first taking a photograph of her subject from the angle or perspective which she will be replicating in her art. She then artistically re-creates the scene or object using pen and ink to outline it. She then completes the artwork by adding the colours. And the result of this process is her detailed artistic replication of the reality that was the original scene or item.

Her work varies, as this exhibit during the month of September at the Stittsville library revealed – buildings and landscape and street scenes but also views as divergent as a scene of a rooster and two chickens, a green roadster, a dilapidated truck in a field and a pair of skates. A description of her exhibit at the Stittsville library explained the inspiration of her work as follows: “Her drawings represent scenes taken from the lives of the people she loves, and the places she has visited.” Ms. Holt has produced a set of Christmas cards in the past that featured five different doorways, done in pen and

ink but with each featuring a coloured wreath. She hopes to continue this style by doing a new Christmas card series featuring a Christmas tree setting, again in pen and ink as with the doorways’ series, but this time with each scene featuring a coloured Victorian toy. The colour used in these Christmas cards focuses the eye on the wreath or toy, as the case may be. Rosemary Holt’s exhibit at the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville library branch ran through the month of September. More information about Rosemary and her work can be found on her new website www.acornillustrations.com .

Ella Speaker to reach age 100

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Mrs. Ella Speaker, a resident of the Richmond Lodge retirement residence in Richmond, is celebrating her 100th birthday this Saturday, Oct. 12.

News - Ella Speaker hits the century mark this Saturday, Oct. 12. That’s when Mrs. Speaker, who resides at the Richmond Lodge retirement residence in Richmond, will be turning 100 years old. She was born in England but came to Canada with her family when she was ten years old, living in Hamilton and then Kitchener where she met her future husband Charles Speaker. They went out for a couple of years before they were married as she notes that back then, couples did not get married in a hurry but first got to know one another. Also as was the custom in those days, Mrs. Speaker did not work outside the home after her marriage. Rather, she looked after her three children (Jack, Lynn and Diane), cooked and did knitting and sewing. “I did all that stuff,” she says today in reference to these household duties. She also has done needlepoint with several examples of her work hanging up in her room at the Richmond Lodge. Indeed, her room is a paradise with stuffed animals, salt and pepper shakers, cups and saucers, figurines and family photographs adorn-

R0012331556

ing one wall. Her room has a TV which she says that she has for company, watching whatever happens to be one when she turns to watching it. Mrs. Speaker says that she has a lot of good friends at the Richmond Lodge, while also lamenting that one by-product of living to be 100 years old is that you outlive all of the friends from your earlier years. She says that she did not have a goal to live to be 100 years old and in fact admits to never having given it much thought. “It just seemed to be there,” she says about her upcoming 100th birthday.

She has no particular goal as to how long she might live, but she does admit to a fascination to, as she puts it, “see what’s on the other side” i.e. experience what comes after death. Mrs. Speaker is one of only a few residents of the Richmond Lodge to reach the century mark. There have been a few in the past who have achieved this mark and indeed have even gone beyond it to be 103 or 104 years old. Former Nepean reeve and Twin Elm farmer Aubrey Moodie, who was a resident at the Richmond Lodge in his final years, almost reached the century mark, dying just short of his 100th birthday.

DYING FOR DIGNITY

Connected to your community

The way forward Ontario is on the cusp of a revolution in the way the province offers palliative care, but the plan hinges on government support Metroland East Special Report

O

ntario’s palliative care agencies offer a chilling prognosis for the decades to come. With a seniors’ population predicted to double in size by 2036, and a funding model for residential hospice care that relies primarily on charitable donations, the system just isn’t sustainable, say palliative care experts. Canadians are living longer, giving them more time to develop chronic illnesses. The health-care system can also expect to encounter a growing number of patients with unpredictable life spans as a result of an increase in cases of dementias such as Alzheimer’s and other diseases. “Unless something is done in the next few years, we’re going to be in a crisis situation on a number of fronts including palliative care and Alzheimer’s and other dementias and just physical space for treatment of the Baby Boom generation,” said Christine Elliott, Ontario Progressive Conservative health critic. “We need to start planning seriously now, because this is happening in the next three to five years,” she added. “We’re going to have to start to deal with it as boomers hit 65 and start having more complicated health problems.” Meanwhile, only 16 to 36 per cent of Canadians have access to hospice palliative care and end-of-life services, according to the Canadian Palliative Care Association, depending on where they live. Three-quarters of all deaths occur in hospital, even though most Canadians would prefer to die at home.

The provincial government has failed to properly fund residential hospices, said France Gélinas, the Ontario NDP health critic. Many are forced to come up with more than half of their operating costs through charitable donations and fundraising drives. “Except for hands-on care, the Ministry of Health has not paid for hospices, so the hospices are on the hook for everything,” she said. “Fundamentally something is wrong – we don’t ask any other part of the health-care system to fundraise their operations. Why do we ask hospices to do that?” Hospice palliative care is a priority for the Ontario government, said provincial Health Minister Deb Matthews. But she was vague concerning the ministry’s current and future plans, adding that it wasn’t long ago that hospices received no funding at all. “When George Smitherman was minister he announced some funding. I recently announced we would cover the nursing care in hospices,” she said. “So we have come from zero to 50 per cent, or whatever the number is, in a very short period of time.” The provincial government started providing funding for hospices in 2006. TIGHT BUDGET

The Ontario government’s action plan on palliative care must recognize both the growing seniors’ demographic and the province’s tight fiscal situation, Matthews said. “We know we’re not going to have a whole lot more money,” she said. “Our government is committed to keep increasing the health-care budget, but at nothing like the past years.”

Experts in palliative and end-of-life care are looking ahead to a time when all Canadians can access quality care in their final days, and have the opportunity to choose where they die.

DYING FOR DIGNITY A three-part series about hospice palliative care in Ottawa Part 3: Palliative-care experts press governments to support a move to integrated end-of-life care.

In 2011, the ministry asked the local health networks to agree to a partnership to increase access to hospice and palliative care by: • Improving the co-ordination of services • Monitoring care to ensure effective use of resources • Providing fair access to hospices across the province • Improving palliative care at longterm care homes and hospitals • Providing care using an inter-disciplinary team and setting standards for end-of-life care The partnership agreement also recommends the provincial government draft a policy statement support-

ing consistent palliative care planning across every region. “So, within basically the same envelope, we have to transform how we deliver care,” said Matthews. “One of those things ... is improving options for palliative care.” One option is reallocating money from hospitals to residential hospice care. Liberal Senator Sharon Carstairs, who founded and chairs the Canadian Virtual Hospice, said receiving palliative care at a hospital or long-term care facility is the most expensive form of delivery. “You want to avoid sending someone to a hospital setting if you pos-

sibly can. But at the same time you need a hospital setting,” she said. “It’s turf war. It’s about moving the dollars out of the hospital system and into the community.” By funding more hospice beds, the province can reduce the burden on hospitals’ emergency rooms and acute care beds, according to a report published in 2009 by the Hospice Association of Ontario’s Residential Hospice Working Group. An acute care bed in an Ontario city costs an average of $850 per day, nearly twice the amount charged by a hospice for a residential bed: $439 per day. Using a 10-bed hospice model, this would free up $1.5 million annually in health care spending, according to the hospice working group. But this money does not represent dollar-for-dollar savings, said Rick Firth, director of Hospice Palliative Care Ontario. “We’re decreasing the cost of care for the individual and we’re freeing up beds in the hospital for them to use for other priorities,” he said, adding it’s about providing appropriate care for the patient.

Moving forward, the province needs to set a funding target of 80 per cent for residential hospices, he said, as well as improve access to hospice in rural communities. Célestin Abedi, executive director of the Champlain Hospice Palliative Care Program, an advisory group for the Champlain Local Health Integration Network, is hoping to convince the LHIN to change the funding formula for hospices. “If we would like hospice to play a bigger role in the health-care system, it is not correct to ask them to fundraise for 60 per cent of the budget to do that,” he said. “In the rural regions, where you almost don’t have any capacity for fundraising, you cannot give them a bed and say, ‘fundraise for 50 or 60 per cent of that money,’ knowing that they don’t have that capacity.” Hospices already supplement their operations with an army of volunteers. More than 600 people donate their time to Hospice Care Ottawa to keep its services afloat.

See video of one volunteer’s story: ottawacommunitynews.com /ottawaregion-video/

The Champlain LHIN is now looking at how much money goes into palliative care in hospices and in the region. Its strategic plan identifies palliative care as one of the health network’s priorities for 2013-16. MOVING FORWARD

A big part of the solution to Ontario’s palliative puzzle lies in the integration of services, say palliative care experts. “Integration is key,” said Firth. “It’s a trend in most of the western world in order to contain health-care costs.” After years of advocating for improved access to hospice by the Quality End of Life Care Coalition of Canada, the message finally resonated with the federal government. In 2012, the Canadian Palliative

program aims to help patients and caregivers create a palliative care plan that starts long before the patient is in the final days of life. “The one thing about the Ottawa program is that the community has come together and (is) talking together about integration of services,” said Kitchen Clarke. Other examples of cities offering innovative and integrated programs include Edmonton, which has a regional palliative care program that offers 57 hospice beds located in three different areas in the city, as well as an intensive palliative care hospital unit.

Lessons from Roger’s House

T

here’s a lesson for palliative care professionals in the way Roger’s House helps dying children. “Truly, the model we have for pediatrics would be the gold standard for adults,” said nurse Marion Rattray, manager of Roger’s House. One of only four hospices of its kind in Canada, Roger’s House provides eight beds and a home-like environment for families whose children are terminally ill. Respite care, pain-management consultations and other types of ongoing interventions are more necessary for young patients at the end of life, Rattray said. Caring for palliative children is

usually a more complex challenge than providing the same care for dying adults. Children receiving palliative-care are more often stricken by multiple, complex genetic conditions that leave the child with very high care needs. “We need to be connected to a tertiary care hospital,” said Lloyd Cowin, executive director of Roger’s House. “That’s critical.” That need reinforces the link between the hospital’s palliative care team and the hospice – something that differentiates it from hospices that serve adults. Those lessons could be translated into adult care settings by having medical teams extend palliative care

outside hospitals, she said. “You’d have a palliative care team in hospital, but that team would also outreach into the community, into the hospices,” Rattray said. Many hospices are affiliated with hospitals and palliative-care experts who work in a medical setting, said Cowin, but that interdependency is more vital in pediatric palliative care. One of the big secrets of its success is co-location – the house sits on what was a small sliver of spare land at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Being located on the same site means doctors and nurses from the hospital’s palliative care team help oversee care at Roger’s House.

“It’s very unique,” said Cowin. “It’s a big reason for our success.” The labour-intensive youth hospice model works simply because it serves a smaller proportion of palliative patients, Rattray said, making it possible for Roger’s House and CHEO to invest the resources needed to provide that high level of care. Creating a connection with families and the children themselves helps ensure the patient receives the type of care that’s best for them during the entire course of their illness, Rattray said. “The beauty of it is if we are consulted early in the illness trajectory we are able to help them all the way through,” she said.

That’s the type of foresight – referred to in the medical community as “advanced care planning” – that palliative-care professionals say would help ensure patients get the care they need – and not treatment they don’t want. It would also reduce the burden of dying adults on hospitals. The key is to let the patient and his or her symptoms dictate what time of treatment or care is needed, Rattray said. “In medical schools and in nursing school, basically you’re taught to fix. And we are such a deathdenying society that we have to fix. We just have to fix this. And some things we can’t.”

Jazz ensemble at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The future of jazz is in good hands if the Justin Orok Trio is any indication. This youthful instrumental jazz ensemble filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre with its smooth sounds, ranging from jazz standards to some original material, at the shop’s Friday music evening last Friday, Oct. 4. They not only have the jazz sounds of musicians far beyond their young years but also have mastered the time-tested jazz tradition of rotating soloists during the playing of a tune. So it might have been Ben Heard on bass taking the spotlight, followed by alto sax player Ethan Hardy dominating the piece before giving up the spotlight to guitarist Justin Orok. But whether playing as the spotlight soloists or combining with the others to produce a relaxing jazz sound, the Justin Orok Trio showed that it is a jazz ensemble that understands the genre and, more importantly, that can play the music with maturity, rhythm and style. Ben Gatien artwork on the wall at the Gaia Java shop features musicians playing a variety of instruments, including two art pieces showing saxophones and a couple with guitars. None, though, display a bass and that’s too bad,

because, as Ben Heard showed during last Friday’s performance by the Justin Orok Trio, it can be not only a most eye-catching instrument due to its size but also a most appealing instrument from a sound perspective, especially the way that Ben plays it. And Ben not only plays the bass but he also is a composer as the trio performed three of his original compositions during its performance at the Gaia Java shop last Friday. This was the first public performance by this Justin Orok Trio. The instrumental jazz ensemble had just held three rehearsals before taking to the Gaia Java performance area last Friday. But that does not mean that they are new to each other. They got to know each other through playing with the Nepean All City Jazz Band. Justin himself has moved on from this Jazz Band as he now attends Carleton University in a music program. Ben Heard has played with various ensembles around the city, combining technique and his sense of rhythm to make his bass sing – jazz, of course. Alto sax player Ethan Hardy is another talented young musician. He was an honour award recipient at the 2013 MusicFest awards for his work with the Ottawa Junior Jazz Band which was started by Mandar Gumaste, a former music teacher at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville.

The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street hosts a Friday music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. and featuring a variety of musicians and

singers. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, Oct. 11, jazz guitarist Alex Tompkins will be performing at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop.

99.99 percent safety record claimed for pipelines John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

erally by diluting it with light, low viscosity diluents. Bitumen, in fact, might require as much as 40 percent dilution for pipeline transport. The proposed Energy East Pipeline will transport diluted bitumen, synthetic crudes and light crude oils from Alberta and Saskatchewan to Eastern Canada. The handout states that none of these crude oil types creates a risk to the pipeline from within. The handout also claims that several independent studies have shown that there is no difference in safety or risk for pipelines carrying diluted bitumen. Another handout entitled “Pipeline Safety” claims that “Pipelines are the safest way to transport oil across North America…” The handout states that TransCanada requires every weld made on its pipelines to be inspected by qualified independent inspectors and that TransCanada is the only company in North America that regularly uses automated ultrasonic testing of its pipelines to check for irregularities before the pipeline goes into service. Trans Canada claims that it implements state-of-the-art leak detection systems, elevated safety features and specialized staff training to fur-

ther protect its pipelines, making the company confident that leaks would be quickly identified and responded to. TransCanada also says in this handout that the Energy East Pipeline will have a comprehensive Emergency Response Plan to protect landowners, communities, emergency responders and employees in an emergency situation. The handout also states that TransCanada’s operations control centre is staffed around the clock and contains the most sophisticated monitoring equipment available which provides trained operators there with the ability to respond to any potential emergency along the route of the pipeline. Pipeline flow can be stopped within minutes from the time that sensors detect an irregularity such as a drop in pipeline pressure. In such a case, pump stations along that section of pipeline will be shut down. Then shut-off valves near the area of the emergency will be closed down to limit any potential impacts from the emergency. Pipeline emergency response personnel will be dispatched to the scene.

News - Pipelines have a 99.99 percent safety record. That’s the claim made by one of the display panels at the public dropin open house held by TransCanada about its proposed Energy East Pipeline Project in Kemptville on Wednesday, Oct. 2. And this claim is backed up by one of the numerous printed handouts available at the open house, a handout entitled “About pipelines” put out by the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association and dealing with emergency response. “Our most recent statistics show that 99.99% of liquid products are transported safety,” it says in reference to pipelines which the handout also claims are “the safest and most reliable means of transporting large volumes of crude oil, natural gas and liquid petroleum products.” A public drop-in open house, like this open house which took place from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville, is being held this Thursday, Oct. 10 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. And what can you expect if you attend this Oct. 10 drop-in open house in Stittsville? Well, there will be a display of information panels that will walk you through the proposed Energy East Pipeline Project, dealing not only with the pipeline proposal of converting 3,000 kilometers of existing natural gas pipeline to a pipeline capable of transporting oil, while also adding about 1,400 kilometers of new pipeline to the route. When completed, the pipeline would transport oil from Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick. The panels explained that TransCanada has done such pipeline conversion projects previously. It involves a process where the existing pipeline is isolated, then thoroughly cleaned and then inspected with high resolution tools which can detect any potential weakness, corrosion

or cracks in the pipe which are then repaired. In this proposed Energy East Pipeline, there will be shutoff values about every 30 kilometers which can stop the flow of oil within minutes if needed. The panels also note that TransCanada will be filing an application to the National Energy Board late this year for this proposed Energy East Pipeline. This will be followed by a hearing process. At the Kemptville open house, there were over a dozen dark-shirted TransCanada representations on hand to talk with members of the public and try to answer their questions and concerns. This Kemptville open house did see a number of visitors appear wearing lime green t-shirts printed with “Concerned Citizens For A Sustainable North Grenville.” There was a long table filled with printed handouts about numerous topics related to pipelines, in both English and French. There were also maps showing the route of the pipeline at specific locations in the area. There were also refreshments such as coffee, soft drinks and veggies on hand for members of the public to enjoy. About 6 p.m., there was a constant buzz of conversation happening in the hall in which the open house took place. There was about 100 people, both members of the public and TransCanada representatives, in the hall at that time. One of the handouts dealt with what was termed “Crude Oil Facts.” This handout stated that raw bitumen will not be transported by this proposed Energy East Pipeline. Bitumen apparently is a raw material that must be either refined to a synthetic specification making it similar to West Texas Light Oil to become a synthetic crude oil or blended with other types of crude to become diluted bitumen. The handout states that bitumen itself is a thick, heavy oil that is extracted from deposits in the oil sands region of northern Alberta. Moving bitumen by pipeline is challenging because it does not flow freely and so its density must be reduced, gen-

Opposing this proposal by TransCanada is the Council of Canadians, a non-partisan citizens interest group that is a registered nonproďŹ t organization that generally advocates for issues such as clean water, fair trade, green energy, public health care and democracy. On its website, the Council of Canadians states its intention to try to stop this pipeline project. Speaking about pipelines which will move tar sands oil to expert locations, the website states: “These pipelines will encourage the unsustainable expansion of the tar sands, cause massive environmental damage along their routes, and increase tanker trafďŹ c and the risk of oil spills in ecologically sensitive coastal waters.â€? The Council of Canadians website points to the experience of Kalamazoo and Mayower pipeline spills as being “poignant warnings of the consequences of shopping tar sands crude through old pipelines.â€? This Energy East Pipeline public dropin open house is taking place this Thursday, Oct. 10 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville.

Blood donor clinic coming Special to the News

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

At Stittsville Food Bank

News – Canadian Blood Services is holding a community blood donor clinic in Stittsville on Wednesday, Oct. 16. It will be held in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. To book an appointment to give blood at this clinic, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). All blood donations at community blood donor clinics held by Canadian Blood Services are most vital because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which

means 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. Canadian Blood Services, which organizes these community blood donor clinics, is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the blood supply in all provinces and territories in Canada except for Quebec. A separate organization, Hema-Quebec, operates in the province of Quebec. Canadian Blood Services organizes more than 22,000 community blood donor clinics across Canada each year. It 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. Canadian Blood Services was created in 1998 as a successor to the Canadian Red Cross blood donation program and the Canadian Blood Agency.

Theresa Qadri, far right, chair of the Stittsville Food Bank, explains how the Food Bank operates to a group of students from Holy Spirit Catholic School who visited the Food Bank last Monday morning, Oct. 7 to deliver items collected in a food drive at the Stittsville school.

What’s up, doc, around village of Stittsville? News – A nice touch has been added to the ice at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena this season. The name “Johnny Leroux” is printed in big letters in the centre ice oval. The name is facing the stands and is at the 6 o’clock location if the circle were a clock. And the arena should soon have some Johnny Leroux memorabilia on display in the lobby which should help make the arena name more meaningful for visitors as they learn a little something about Johnny and all his contributions to hockey and sport in the community which is why the arena now bears his name. The memorabilia should consist of a Johnny Leroux jacket as well as various photos, all to be contained in a shadow box on display in the lobby area of the arena…There’s an opportunity to give blood coming up in the village.

[Inter]National Feral Cat Day October 16, 2013 Building Better Suburbs Information sessions How will new suburban neighbourhoods look and feel, and how will they function? The City of Ottawa is reviewing suburban subdivision design guidelines for future developments. Join us at one of three information sessions.

Thursday, October 17, 2013 7 to 8:30 p.m. Cedarhill Golf and Country Club 56 Cedarhill Drive

Their ears were frostbitten, but they were lucky to have survived. It’s a hard life for feral cats. Domesticated cats, if abandoned and living long enough outdoors, can become feral. Feral cats are homeless, “wild”, untamed cats, often born outside and having had little or no contact with humans. Ferals often live in groups called colonies.

UÊ Õ ÌÞ design UÊ *>À }Ê UÊ - `iÜ> Ã

Fortunately, a Trap-Neuter-Return program reduces the feral population humanely and gradually; but the whole colony needs to be vaccinated too, and then managed under the care of a dedicated cat colony caretaker. Kittens and not-so-wild cats can sometimes be adopted into homes. Wilder but healthy cats are returned to their colonies.

Spaying/neutering and veterinary care of feral and semi-wild cats is expensive.

It is estimated there are millions of feral cats in North America. Some are lucky to have volunteer caretakers feed and care for them, at great expense to themselves – maybe someone in your neighbourhood. For some ferals, food is scarce. They get sick, frostbitten, attacked and injured or killed – and no one knows or cares.

Another season for Stittsville Town League John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - The Stittsville Town League is underway for another hockey season. Teams started playing in their regular season last week, with all six teams seeing action as they all began their 20 game seasons. This year’s teams are Cabling Ottawa (orange), Cavanagh Construction (black), Cavanagh Construction (grey), Bond’s Décor (green), Molsons (white) and Shouldice Mechancial (red). Games are being played on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and on Thursdays at both the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena at 10 p.m. and at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex at 10:30 p.m. Johnny Leroux himself, after whom the arena has been named, serves as the scorekeeper/timekeeper for the games at that arena, assisted on Wednedays by Helene Rivest. On Thursdays, Helene Rivest serves as the scorekeeper/timekeeper at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Stittsville Town League games are played as three periods of 20 minute duration, running time. However, if in the third period there is three goals or less of a difference in the score, the final three minutes are played as stop time. A league draft was held on Friday, Sept. 27 to stock this year’s teams, with the goal of having 13 skaters and a goalie for each of the six teams. The regular season runs through to the first week of March, after which the playoffs will be

held, ending on Thursday, March 27. Only the top four teams from the regular season make the playoffs which are two rounds of a best-ofthree format.

For the opening game of the season on Wednesday, Oct. 2 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, a ceremonial faceoff was held, complete with red carpet, with league

MPP speaks on landfills Theresa Fritz theresa.fritz@metroland.com

News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren rose in the legislature last week to speak on the subject of the Carp Road landfill. Attention is once again focused on the landfill in the wake of the provincial Ministry of the Environment’s approval of the Environmental

Assessment (EA) allowing for a new landfill at the Carp Road site to proceed. A Coalition of Citizen Groups is hoping to raise funds to fund its continued opposition to a new landfill site at the Carp Road site. In his statement in the Legislature, MacLaren vocalized his support for allowing municipalities the power to choose how they deal with

waste and for recycling and incineration. “A plan to build a new landfill beside the old landfill has caused much discussion on the pros and cons on landfills in general and the Carp Road landfill in particular. It is a contentious issue. Nobody wants a landfill in their backyard,” he said. “Six concerned people in my riding formed a committee to research, discuss and write a report with a conceptual plan on how to best manage the dis-

posal of waste in the province of Ontario,” MacLaren said. That committee included individuals such as MacLaren himself, Carleton Landowners Association president Shirley Dolan and A Coalition of Citizen Groups member Harold Moore, to name a few. “In the report, the committee recommends Ontario reduce, reuse, recycle and recover. This includes composting, recycling and incineration. Incineration produces energy that can be used. Composting

and recycling would be done by the private sector without government subsidies,” MacLaren told the legislature. “The profit would come from the market place. Materials that are not composted or recycled would be incinerated. “The report also indentifies that residential and ICI waste should be combined into one class of waste and that the management of all waste should fall under municipal jurisdiction. That way municipalities would have

the freedom to choose landfill or incineration. This would simplify the management of waste,” the MPP concluded. In an interview, MacLaren said he believes incineration can work. “I really believe this is the way to go,” he said. While he admitted “we can’t outlaw landfills,” he said he believes giving municipalities the choice over how they wish to deal with waste will make everyone take responsibility for their garbage.

Gracenote delivers variety, all with harmony John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Gracenote is a Kanatabased singing group comprised of a group of friends who want to witness and share their love of the Lord through the joyful gift of song. And so you knew that the group’s fundraising concert at St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond last Saturday evening would feature a lot of tunes with a spiritual focus. But this is group is not a one-trick pony, as it were. Besides their spiritual offerings, there was an a cappella “Tribute to Martin Luther King,� a ragtime style song, another song in the bluegrass style, tunes from the songbooks of James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson, a 1940 hit by an African American vocal group, a classic song by America’s so-called Father of Rhythm and Blues and also its Grandfather of Rock ‘n Roll, and even a song by one of America’s foremost protest performers. Yes, there was a variety of material offered but one thing remained constant – the group’s blended harmony, delivered with flair and enthusiasm – easy listening at its best. Performing on a stage adorned with three potted yellow mums with a backdrop featuring autumn leaves, the vocal quartet consisted of Lynn Lane, Stephanie Coward-Yaskiw, Allison Fagan and Diane Coulterman, with Andy Duffy doing his keyboard magic as well as providing arrangements for the group. For this performance, Gracenote was joined on guitar and bass by Tom Denison who plays with them on occasion. And as the tunes started to come one after another, some up tempo, some more reserved, that harmony that highlights their four part vocals shone through tune after tune. And whether it was a song about “coming home� to the Lord or “say-

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Members of the musical vocal group Gracenote who are performing at a fundraising concert at the St. Philip Parish Hall in Richmond last Saturday evening, Oct. 5 are, from left, Lynn Lane, Stephanie Coward-Yaskiw, Allison Fagan and Diane Coulterman. ing yes� to the Lord or about the power of the Lord’s Word, it was spiritual music at its best – uplifting with a message. And bookending an up tempo spiritual calling on the Lord to share His Light, featuring a powerful solo by Stephanie Coward-Yaskiw, with the a cappella “Tribute to Martin Luther King� brought an attention to both that only such a contrasting presentation could engender. Gracenote, as member Lynn Lane told the audience of over 75, likes differing styles of music which is why a Gracenote concert sees a variety of music presented. So it was that a song about thankfulness was a Kelly Clarkson song, the American singer and songwriter who first gained fame in winning the

first session of the American Idol TV show back in 2002. The song not only soared thanks to the four voices of Gracenote and their harmony but also from a crowd-pleasing keyboard solo during the song by Andy Duffy. And the style changed again for the next musical offering, a ragtimestyle tune which reminded everyone that before there was colour TV, there was a God who made them and had a plan for them. It was not only the song’s message but its ragtime style graced by the four voices of Gracenote that spread a toe-tapping atmosphere throughout the hall. “Jada’s Coming Home,� a 1973 song by the Pointer Sisters, an American rhythm and blues group most prominent in the 1970’s and 1980’s, rounded out the first part of the con-

cert. And the second part, following a brief intermission, was more of the same, lots of variety but always delivered with melodic harmony. Rhythmic clapping, toe tapping, finger snapping music at its best, no doubt. And among the gems were the 1940 song “Java Jive� (“I love coffee, I love tea�), a hit for the African American vocal group the Ink Spots in the group’s heyday; “You’ve Got A Friend,� the 1971 hit by both acclaimed American singer, songwriter and guitarist James Taylor and also Carole King, with both winning Grammy Awards for the song with Carole King taking “Song of the Year� and James Taylor winning for “Best Male Pop Vocal Performance�

- not bad for one song and after hearing Gracenote’s rendition, you knew why – it calls out your name, just like one of its lyrics advises - it is a friend of a song for sure; and the upbeat, fun “Choo Choo Ch’ Boogie,� complete with a rousing keyboard solo by Andy Duffy, a toe tapping musical treat if there ever was one. Indeed, “Choo Choo Ch’ Boogie� is a lively piece, a number one hit on the American rhythm and blues charts back in 1946 thanks to American musician Louis Jordan who was known as “The King of the Jukebox� and later as America’s Father of Rhythm and Blues and a Grandfather of Rock ‘n Roll. It’s still a popular tune with groups like the American singing group Manhattan Transfer and, of course, Gracenote. And a Bob Dylan song, “Ring Them Bells,� a combination protest/spiritual offering, brought forth rhythmic clapping with its upbeat tempo and Andy Duffy’s flying fingers on the keyboard. It was like a revival meeting at its best! “Was that great or what,� Rev. Bob Poole, pastor of St. Philip’s Parish, exclaimed as he mounted the stage to thank Gracenote for its performance while the audience stood and applauded. He thanked the group for gracing the audience with an evening of beautiful, glorious music. But it was not over, as Gracenote agreed to an encore, an upbeat gospel tune (“Well, we’re going to rock this road to glory, my Lord and I� is how it went). No wonder there was yet another standing ovation at its conclusion. Rev. Poole let it be known that Gracenote will be returning to St. Philip’s Parish to sing an Advent Vespers service on the second Sunday of Advent this year. This fundraising concert featuring Gracenote last Saturday was to help raise funds for a new sound system at St. Philip’s.

‘Celebrating Acceptance’ at Saunders Farm John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Canadian Citizenship Not For Sale Canadians know that it is an honour and a privilege to be a citizen of this country. That is why our government continues to take action against those who lie, cheat and scam the system by fraudulently obtaining citizenship or permanent residence status in Canada. In December 2011, under the leadership of former Minister of Citizenship and Immigration Jason Kenney, our government launched an aggressive initiative to target these fraudsters and send a message that Canadians citizenship is not for sale. At the time, it was revealed that nearly 6,500 people from over 100 countries were being investigated for lying about their presence in Canada in order to maintain status as a permanent resident, or in order to become a citizen. In September 2012, the number of investigations rose to nearly 11,000. In the past year, there has been an increase of approximately another 1800 investigations and our government has revoked citizenship from 27 people who obtained it illegally. This is a huge increase when you look at history. From 1976 until 2011, only 60 citizenships were revoked. In May of this year, former CIC Minister Kenney announced that a former citizenship judge, an immigration consultant and an employee of the accused consultant had all been arrested by the RCMP and charged as part of a citizenship fraud investigation. More recently, the new CIC Minister, Chris Alexander, congratulated the RCMP on charging Basem Farid Awaad of Nova Scotia. Awaad was charged with two counts of Counseling Misrepresentation and two counts of False Representation. Awaad will appear in court on December 5, 2013. These fraudsters hurt everyone. By illegally obtaining permanent residence or citizenship, these people have access to taxpayer-funded social benefits including health care and education. This means that honest Canadians have to pay more out of their own pockets to subsidize these scammers. Our government is committed to maintaining a system of immigration which attracts the world’s best and brightest. By also cracking down on those who try to abuse our generosity, we can ensure the long-term prosperity of our great nation. Pierre Poilievre MP for Nepean-Carleton

Residential proposal for southeast corner of Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Richmond may be getting more residentially-designated land. A proposal is now before city of Ottawa planners seeking to change the designation for some of the land in the southeast corner of the village. Currently designated industrial, the proposal is asking that 65 percent of the land be re-designated as residential, with the remainder along the southern boundary of the village remaining industrial. The land in question is south of Ottawa Street, running from Eagleson Road in the east to near McBean Street in the west. The proposal also includes an east-west road that would run through the site from Eagleson Road to McBean Street. While the landowners, most of whom are represented by planning consultant Murray Chown of Novatech Engineering Consultants Ltd., are proposing changing 65 percent of the land from its current industrial designation to a residential designation, city planners apparently are open to changing only 25 percent of the land to residential. This is because the city planners want to retain enough industrial designated land so that Richmond can achieve a jobs to household radio similar to Manotick’s radio of .75 jobs per household. At present Richmond’s radio is .5 jobs per household.

Mr. Chown, in a presentation to the Richmond Village Association board of directors on Tuesday, Oct. 1, said that city staff now seems to be backing away from the .75 figure and may be willing to accept a .65 figure which he still questions, noting that Manotick is a different community than Richmond. And Mr. Chown made it clear that the landowners, none of whom is involved in the development industry, are sympathetic to seeing the lands develop residentially in a manner similar to what currently exists in the village, namely single family homes on good sized lots. That’s why Mr. Chown, on behalf of the landowners, is seeking a residential designation for these lands that is similar to what already exists in the Richmond Community Design Plan for residential lands in the northeast corner of Richmond (behind King’s Your Independent Grocer). These lands have a low density residential designation, different from the so-called western development lands on which Mattamy Homes and Caivan Homes are proposing residential development that includes townhomes and more dense development than exists in the current village. Bruce Webster, a past president and current board member of the Richmond Village Association, noted that the lots proposed for the southwest corner of the village would be

similar to those that exist now in the King’s Grant and Richmond Oaks subdivisions. Such lot sizes would be necessary to accommodate private wells unless a communal water system were implemented. Mr. Chown made no mention of a communal water system for the lands. Mr. Chown said that this issue regarding re-designating some of these industrial lands to residential is moving quickly, with a decision expected perhaps as early as November. This is because the city is currently reviewing its Official Plan which it wants to complete soon so that the city’s development charges bylaw can be updated before the current one expires next July. This means that an updated Official Plan is needed by this December. This land re-designation for Richmond has to be made through the updating of the Official Plan since the province insists that such a change of designation be part of a comprehensive planning process for the city and that means a process like the updating of the Official Plan. Mr. Chown noted that the land in question in the southeast corner of Richmond has been designated as industrial for years. “It’s not secret people aren’t lined up at the door to buy these lands for industrial purposes,” he said in explaining why the landowners are seeking re-designation of some of the land to a residential designation.

DANTE’S INFERNO

Mr. Chown admitted that he did not know if city council will support a staff recommendation to change the designation of some of this land. He said that he did not think that city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn councillor Scott Moffatt was opposed to the proposal. He said that since none of the landowners is in the development business, even with a re-designation of the lands to residential, there will not suddenly be shovels in the ground. He said development of the lands would come only after a lengthy process that would include a strategy of how to serve the lands with sanitary sewer services and also a subdivision process that would involve public consultation. Mr. Chown re-iterated that nothing is written in stone regarding the residential development but that the current initiative is just geared at trying to create the opportunity for future residential development of the lands. The Richmond Village Association (RVA) board of directors, at this meeting, did pass a motion that the RVA the re-designation of the lands to residential as proposed is agreeable to the RVA provided that the policy template regarding low density residential development applies to the lands like such policies currently applies to land in the northeast corner of the village. But the motion was not approved

Université d’Ottawa

|

without some concerns being expressed around the RVA table about even more proposed residential development in the village. RVA treasurer Heather Martineau noted that although the proposed Mattamy and Caivan proposals for the western development lands in the village are not yet resolved, now here is another proposal for more residential development in the village. She said that with this proposal, there needs to be a guaranteed of large lots and less dense development than proposed by Mattamy and Caivan. She said that she would rather see these southeast lands developed for residential purposes rather than industrial but expressed concern about the infrastructure requirements to service the lands. RVA director Rosemary MacArthur questioned how much input the community would have in the development of the lands, commenting that it seems that community consultation only takes place after decisions are made. Richmond businessman Len Bertrand, who was at the meeting, said that as a 30 year resident of Richmond and a business owner since 2005, he favoured the residential development of these southeast lands, saying that these lands were probably the most practical to develop in all of Richmond due to the lands access to highway 416 via Brophy Road.

ada. And using his artistic license, Mr. Connor’s depiction of the scene shows not only a lighthouse and a couple looking out on the sea but also the Bluenose sailing by. One of the paintings on display which garnered a lot of attention, not because of its colours which are anything but bright but because of its subject matter. It is Mr. Connor’s painting of the Titanic sailing at night, with light glowing in each of its many portholes. It was undoubtedly a labour of love because Mr. Connor used a toothpick to paint each of these portholes. What makes the painting

But last Saturday, this garden, now in its fading days of fall, was spectacularly colourful, not because of the last flower blooms still evident in the garden nor because of the coloured rocks that now dot areas of the garden but because the garden was home for a day to some of the art of Ross Connor, the painter. And if you know Mr. Connor’s work, it features the brightest of colours, often in geometric configurations that in themselves are eye-catching. He uses bright colours in his artwork because, of all things, Mr. Connor is colour blind. This does not mean that he cannot see colours but that he has difficulty in distinguishing between certain colours. He finds that working with bright colours is helpful in this regard, so his artwork tends to feature these bright colours. And some of this art was right there on display in the garden as Mr. Connor held his second annual “Art in the Garden� Sale and Show. Some of his art was on display in the garden; other pieces were set up on stands alongside the Poole Creek pathway. He also had a table set up where he was offering hand painted coasters for sale. This year Mr. Connor had a couple of landscapes on display in this show. He has started doing landscapes recently, simply as a new challenge for his artistic work. One of the landscapes on display at this “Art in the Garden� Sale and Show was a scene showing Cape Spear in Newfoundland, the most eastern point in Can-

Free fall well water sample blitz coming Special to the News

News - The city of Ottawa’s fall well water sample blitz is coming up. This is when homeowners with wells in Goulbourn can drop off a well water sample which will then be taken for testing for bacterial contamination. The homeowner will then receive the results of the testing. This is all done free of charge but the well water samples must be collected in the appropriate sample bottles. These sample bottles can be picked up at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners; at Mac’s in Munster; at Richmond Home Hardware on Perth Street in Richmond; and at King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond. As for dropping off a well water sample bottle, there will be a drop off on Tuesday, Oct. 15 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road in Richmond. That same day, Tuesday, Oct. 15, there will be a drop off at the Ashton General Store in Ashton, running from 5:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and also a drop off at Mac’s in Munster from 6 a.m. to midnight. There will be a final well water sample drop off on Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former municipal building) on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners. These free well water sample bottle blitzes

are held in both the spring and the fall each year. It is recommended that a well water supply used for drinking should be tested for bacterial contamination three times a year. Bacterial testing for private wells is offered free of charge by the Ontario Ministry of Health Public Health Laboratory on St. Laurent Blvd. in Ottawa. And it’s easy to prepare the well water sample bottle for this testing. Obtain a water sample bottle (it’s free!); do not touch the bottle lip and do not rinse out the bottle; remove aerators and other attachments from your tap; let the cold water run for three minutes before taking a sample; fill the bottle to “fill line” directly from the tap without changing the flow of water. Replace the cap tightly on the water sample bottle. Samples must be refrigerated after collection. Do not remove the bar code stickers from the bottle. Keep the pink card as you will need the number to obtain your results. Test results are available by mail within seven business days or in person at the St. Laurent Blvd. location of the laboratory or by calling 1-877-723-3426 two or three business days after dropping the sample bottle off at one of the drop off locations. Drinking contaminated water can make you sick and can even be fatal. Bacterial contamination causes stomach cramps and/or diarrhea as well as other problems. Regular testing of well water is recommended to ensure a safe water supply.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The big wood barrel had been scrubbed with hot soapy water and a brush and put outside on the back stoop to dry in the sun. It would take days for it to be as dry as a bone and if the sky looked like a drop of rain might come down, the barrel was rolled into the summer kitchen until the threat was over. Dozens of big fat cabbages were already in the summer kitchen on a table Father had put together by putting three wide planks on two saw-horses. A new bag of coarse salt had been bought at Briscoe’s General Store. We were ready. This would be a Saturday night when there would be no going off to a house party or having neighbours in for a game of cards. This night would be reserved for making sauerkraut and the whole family would be doing the job. I had mixed feelings about the night we made the sauerkraut. Certainly the whole family was working together brought me special joy, but being the youngest of the ďŹ ve children my job was menial at best. All I was allowed to do was bring in more cabbages from the summer kitchen as they were needed. When the work-night started, on the table close to one end was the cabbage slicer. Father said it had been made by his great-great grandfather when he settled in Northcote generations ago. It looked like a long narrow wood box with no lid. In the bottom of the box was a sharp blade that Father said could be deadly if you accidentally ran your hand over it.

Sauerkraut was a family tradition

The well-scrubbed barrel had been rolled into the kitchen right after supper and it sat close to the table at one end. Straddling the barrel was the wood box with the deadly blade which also, of course, had been scrubbed within an inch of its life. Now it was time to bring in the cabbages from the summer kitchen. Not all at once -- they were kept out as long as possible, so that when they were ďŹ nally shredded they would still be well chilled from being outside of the steaming hot kitchen. And that’s when I ďŹ gured into the picture. It was my job to bring in the cabbages when Father said he was ready for another one. This meant I was constantly running back and forth -- inside, outside. It also meant I missed seeing most of the actual job of shredding the big pale green heads, which didn’t please me in the least. It was Emerson and Everett’s job to peel off the very top leaves of each head of cabbage. Not one leaf more than the very top ones, either -- that would be sheer waste. Beside the table were two huge baskets into which went the outer leafs. They wouldn’t be tossed out in the back yard, where garbage was kept. No, these baskets of leaves would go to feed the pigs. This is where my youngest brother Earl came into the picture.

Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Continued from page 49

It was his job to tear down the discarded cabbage into smaller pieces. That way, Father said, it was easier to make the feed go farther when it was finally tossed out to the pigs, mixed with other slop. Audrey sliced off the very end of the cabbage with a sharp butcher knife, and that too was tossed into the baskets by the table. Then that head was passed on to Father. With spotlessly clean hands Father fed the head of cabbage into the wood box straddling the barrel, running it back and forth over the sharp blade, letting the finely shredded cabbage fall into the barrel. Mother used a block of wood attached to a short pole

(Father’s creation) and every so often Father stopped shedding as she gently packed down the cabbage. Everything would come to a halt and with a measuring cup dipped into the bag of coarse salt, Mother would spread in a good amount. For some reason I was never able to fathom, the number of shredded cabbages was always enough to exactly fill the barrel. Not right to the top, of course, but with about 25 centimetres of what Father called “breathing room.” The very top of the shredded cabbage got the final toss of coarse salt, then a well-scrubbed stone -- the same one we used every year -- was the last addition to the barrel. The stone would make sure the cabbage was well packed-down.

Open table dinner Special to the News

News - A free open table community dinner is coming up.

It took Father and three brothers to roll the barrel out to the summer kitchen. Of course the sauerkraut would not be ready to eat until it had been well fermented and was always best when the blasts of winter froze it solid. By then, which is something else I had trouble figuring out, the cabbage turned to sauerkraut and had settled down into the barrel. For days afterwards, I would sneak a peek into the barrel and would be met with the sharp tang of the fermenting cabbage. I would have a feeling of contentment come over me, because now I knew, deep in that awful Depression, it didn’t matter how bad things got, we would at least have sauerkraut to put on the supper table.

It will happen on Saturday, Oct. 19 at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. with the dinner served at 5 p.m. The dinner is free although freewill offerings will be accepted. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend.

Here comes 9 RUN RUN event John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The 9 RUN RUN event, known as Ottawa’s Emergency Services Run, is coming up on Saturday, Oct. 19. This third annual event will have a new start/ďŹ nish line and also a new 10K course. The start-ďŹ nish line will now be on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street, not on Abbott Street east of Stittsville Main Street as in the past. This will be for both the Bushtukah half marathon route as well as for the Bushtukah 10K route. The route for the 10K run, which starts at 9 a.m., will see participants leave the Abbott Street start line headed east to Stittsville Main Street and then go along Stittsville Main

Street to Fernbank Road. It will then be right on Fernbank Road and then right on West Ridge Drive to the Trans Canada Trail. It will then be west on the Trans Canada Trail to the turnaround point where participants will turn around and head east on the Trans Canada Trail back to Abbott Street and the ďŹ nish line. For the half marathon route, participants will head off at 9:15 a.m. from the Abbott Street start line, going east to Stittsville Main Street and then south on Stittsville Main Street to Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners. It is then west on Flewellyn Road to Munster Road. Turning north on Munster Road, participants will go to Fernbank Road and then to Jinkinson Road. Heading north on Jinkinson Road, participants will come to the Trans Canada Trail where

they will head east until they reach Abbott Street and the ďŹ nish line. The BMO Nesbitt Burns 2K-ish Run will still begin at 10 a.m. on the Trans Canada Trail in front of Sacred Heart Catholic High School, with the route heading west for 1K-ish and then turning around and returning to the start line area. This is meant to be a family fun run or walk. There will still be the post-race Chiefs’ Chili Cook-Off in which the chiefs of the city’s three emergency services will compete for the honour of having prepared the best-tasting chili. And there will be lots of chili for everyone as Scumptious Creative Catering of Stittsville will be on hand with chili. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville will be hosting face painting at the event while Deschenes

Poitras Family Dental will sponsor Brad the Balloon Guy. Junk Yard Symphony will be on hand to entertain youngsters. Stittsville Sobeys will be providing food, water and chocolate milk at the ďŹ nish line. The McDonalds coffee truck will also be on site. Brown’s Your Independent Grocer of Stittsville is hosting the breakfast for the volunteers involved. This annual 9 RUN RUN Emergency Services Run is supported by the Ottawa Police Service, the Ottawa Fire Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service. This year’s 10K Run is already sold out for participants. Information about this year’s 9 RUN Run event is available at http:// www.9runrun.ca/. Last year’s event raised $40,911.12 for Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.), a youth driven program focused on raising awareness about youth mental health, and the Royal’s Youth Mental Health Program.

Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) was created by friends and family of Daron Richardson who lost her lift to suicide at a young age. D.I.F.D. is inspired by hope for a future where young people will reach out for help without fear or shame when faced with mental health issues. Proceeds from this year’s 9 RUN RUN will be directed to Do It For Daron and also to Christie Lake Kids. Christie Lake Kids has been responding to the speciďŹ c needs of economically disadvantaged children aged 6-17 in the Ottawa area since 1922. It provides year-round community and camp programs for economically disadvantaged children to help develop their physical, artistic and social skills and develop positive attitudes. Christie Lake Camp itself is one of the oldest summer camp programs in Ontario, serving campers who are from families living in poverty.

West Ottawa Soccer Club hires new Club Head Coach - Male Special to the News

was his work with the Club’s Under-12 boys when he was here from his native Scotland as part of the interview process. “It was incredible to watch,� president Mason says. “His attention to detail, the ability to pick out what needed to be worked on almost instantaneously, address it with these young players in a really positive way that made them feel really great about themselves, and then show them what it is that he wanted. It is those nuances that makes all the difference at a high level.� He calls David Hannah one of the best trainer/coaches that he has ever seen, noting that he will be a great asset for the WOSC.

Before joining WOSC, Mr. Hannah played for top senior soccer teams such as Dundee United FC and Glasgow Celtic FC before beginning his coaching career with Scottish Premier League Clubs’ youth academy teams. He later held coaching, player development and technical director positions with high schools, universities and professional clubs in Scotland, Malta and Iceland. As for his philosophy in coaching and soccer in general, he sums it up as follows: “Hard work, good attitude, good team spirit and providing a fun environment are what football is all about,� Mr. Hannah likes that the WOSC not only

has superb facilities but that the Club is focused on the development of all players, from the grassroots to the high performance levels. He will be working with formerCanadian women’s national team player Kristina Kiss who is the WOSC Club Head Coach – Female. Both will soon also be working with the Club’s new Technical Director. The WOSC is Canada’s second largest soccer club, having been formed in 2010 as a result of a merger of several soccer clubs in the west end of Ottawa. It offers soccer programs from young children to adults across west Ottawa including for players in Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and Goulbourn. R0011949797 R0011243339

Sports - The West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) has added another building block to its goal of helping its soccer players to be the best that they can be. This newest building block is the hiring of David Hannah as its new Club Head Coach – Male as of Tuesday, Oct. 15.

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. Delanie and son Graysen Mom and Dad Jason and Maneau Rod

Stittsville Royals drop Sit, walk for fitness 2-1 game to Arnprior Special to the News

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - First place in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League was up for grabs at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. The visiting Arnprior Packers and the hometown Stittsville Royals both entered the game with eight points, tied for ďŹ rst place in the Division. Something had to give and it turned out to be the Stittsville Royals as they lost a close 2-1 verdict to the visitors. The Royals opened the scoring in the game with only six seconds left in the ďŹ rst period, with Steve Genier scoring on a power play with an assist going to Joey Laird. The Royals took this 1-0 lead into the second period but it turned out to be a Packers period, with the visitors scoring at the 4:21 mark and then against at the 17:28 mark to take a 2-1 lead into the third period. The third period was scoreless, with Arnprior going home with a 2-1 win and ďŹ rst place in the Valley Division. The Royals had 25 shots on the Arnprior net while the Packers di-

rected 45 shots at Patrick Kealey in the Stittsville goal. Selected as the three stars in the game were three Stittsville players – goalie Patrick Kealey, Talmadge Farnes and Joey Laird. In the Valley Division standings after this game, the Arnprior Packers lead the Division with a record of ďŹ ve wins and two losses for 10 points.

News - Everyone likes a pat on the back, some recognition for their efforts. This includes students at the Kumon Learning Centre in Stittsville. These students received awards recognizing their achievements in the Kumon program at the Stittsville Kumon’s recent first annual awards ceremony. For the past two years, owners Merilee and John Clarke have been busy building up and establishing the Kumon program in Stittsville after having purchased the franchise from its previous owner. Now, entering their third year of operation, they had reached the point where they could implement this awards evening. Having such awards ceremonies are part of the Kumon program, albeit an optional part. But now that it has been implemented at the Stittsville Kumon Centre, it will be continuing on an annual basis. Ms. Clarke reports that the students had a great time at this first ever awards ceremony and that it was “well received” by students and parents. Indeed, every student received an achievement award, with some receiving even more than one depending on which their program and level of achievement. Four students were singled out as they have completed or are about to complete the Kumon reading program which means they are now working at a level equal to grade 12 or first year university.

These four Kumon students are Robyn Easton, Jessica Zwang, Catherine Sui and Alex Beimers. Another aspect of the awards ceremony was the opportunity of students to perform, displaying their musical talents. This year three students and one former student who now works at the Kumon Centre performed. These were Alexander Anderson on the piano, Shelly Cao on the violin and Yukta Shah on the piano. Rachel Shavrnoch, a former student who is now on staff, played the piano. Ms. Clarke is hopeful that more students will take the opportunity at next year’s awards ceremony to exhibit their musical talents. Besides the four students honoured for completing or for soon completing the reading program, numerous other awards were presented. J200 Completers awards were presented to Robyn Easton (plaque) and Shivam Parekh for math and Robyn Easton, Alex Beimers and Catherine Sui (plaques) for reading.

At a Kumon Learning Centre like the one in Stittsville, programs are customized for each student so that each student can progress at his or her own pace. Bests are administered not to a group but to each student when the instructor

knows that the student has grasped the knowledge and will pass. This not only builds confidence in the student as he or she passes the tests but also it means that tests because something that students are eager to do because it results in success. Kumon is the world’s largest after-school learning program, offering math and reading programs for students from pre-school through to grade 12. Today Kumon programs can be found in 47 countries around the world, with millions of children involved. The Kumon method empowers children to become self-learners and makes them confident learners with each new challenge that they meet and overcome. The Stittsville Kumon Centre is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.
