News - It’s run day in Stittsville this Saturday, Oct. 19. That’s when the third annual 9 RUN RUN event, known as Ottawa’s Emergency Services Run since it is supported by the Ottawa Police Service, the Ottawa Fire Service and the Ottawa Paramedic Service, will be taking place. 9 RUN Run includes a half marathon, a 10K run and a 2K Family Fun Run/ Walk. A big change this year is the relocation of the start/finish line from Abbott Street east of Stittsville Main Street to a spot on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street. This will be where both the half marathon and the 10K run will start and finish. The 2K Family Fun Run/ Walk will have its start/finish line on the Trans Canada Trail in front of Sacred Heart Catholic High School which once again this year is the headquarters for the event. The 2K Family Fun Run/Walk participants will go west on the Trans Canada Trail towards Village Square and then return to make up the 2K distance. This 9 RUN RUN event does necessitate a number of temporary road closures in the community to provide a safe running environment for the participants. See 9 RUN RUN, page 5

Last year’s White Cane Campaign by the Stittsville District Lions Club raised over $1,100. For this year’s White Cane Campaign this Saturday, Oct. 19, members of the Stittsville District Lions Club and associated volunteers are planning to be at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, Stittsville IDA Pharmacy, Giant Tiger, Shoppers Drug Mart on Stittsville Main Street and Stittsville Sobeys throughout the morning and afternoon - specifically from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

News - It’s show time this weekend, Oct. 19 and 20. That’s when six Stittsville artists are opening up their homes and studios to show their art to visitors participating in the tenth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour. It’s a self-directed tour in which participants can choose the timetable and route that they wish. They can visit all six participating artists or just a couple of them – whatever suits their fancy. The only thing that is set down is that the tour is happening this Saturday, Oct. 19 and this Sunday, Oct. 20 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on each day. And what’s great about this year’s tour is that the six participating artists have different styles and produce different and unique artwork. So, tour participants have the opportunity to see this different artwork, see it on view in a home-like setting and also even get to chat with the artist herself. The tour promises to be a highlight event for anyone who enjoys the world of art. And, of course, if you happen to see a piece that you fall in love with, you have the option to purchase it, as this is a tour that is not only a show but also is a sale. On this year’s Stittsville Artists Studio Tour you have a variety of styles and techniques used by the participating artists. Diane Dean, for instance, works in acrylics, watercolours and oils, so she covers much of the artistic waterfront, as it were. You have to love her down-to-earth attitude when she says that she is happy “in a paint-spattered old shirt with brushes and paints at hand and something to paint in my spirit.” You know that you are going to enjoy visiting with her. But then again, this could be said for all six artists on the tour – you will enjoy visiting with each of them.

Inspired by impressionist artists, Judy Dana has studied various art masters including Edgar Degas, Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro and

enjoys reflecting those styles in her acrylics and pastels. In her art, she tries to capture emotion and passion using a rich, colourful palette which she uses to create works in portraiture, ballet, landscapes, birds and abstracts. She also does intricate pen and ink drawings. Judy has participated in various juried art shows and has displayed her art in galleries in the Ottawa area. In addition, she was featured in one-woman art shows in both Almonte and Orleans. If you like scenes showing beauty, you will like the work of Josie Braden who is a longtime painter who tries to capture some of nature’s handiwork in her artwork. You don’t want to miss a visit to her home. Bernice Wills is an artist who does both florals and landscapes, working in watercolours. She has several newly-minted smalls that could be just perfect for those little, hard-to-adorn places in your home. She also will be unveiling in this tour some of her art pieces taken from her personal collection. You might just leave her home with one tucked under your arm, its new proud owner. Vera van Baaren uses both watercolours and acrylics in her painting, much of which focuses on nature. And you have to make sure that you see her “Family Outing” painting, a wide, thin work that shows a family of mallard ducks swimming along in line. It’s like nature coming

She uses recycled materials to create this fibre art, drawing on Ottawa Valley and Canadian Shield influences to create scenes that are not only appealing but also are richly textured. So, there you have it – six different artists, six artistic styles – all available on this Stittsville Artists Studio Tour this Saturday, Oct. 19 and Sunday, Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. And, oh, did we mention – there are going to be door prizes presented. There will be signs placed at strategic locations around the village, showing the way to the various stops on this 2013 Stittsville Artists Studio Tour. Artists taking part in this year’s tenth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour include Diane Dean, Bernice Wills, Vera van Baaren, Josie Braden, Judy Dana and Frances Taylor. The Stittsville Artists Studio Tour website at www.

stittsvillestudiotour.com has a map showing the location of the six artists involved in the tour: Josie Braden at 19 Glen Abbey Court in Amberwood; Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court and Bernice Wills at 7 Plainfield Court, both in Amberwood as well; Frances Taylor at 13 Kintail Court; Judy Dana at 37 Shipley Crescent; and Diane Dean at 181 Hartsmere Drive. There is absolutely no cost to take part in the tour. The artists very much appreciate your interest and welcome one and all. In this endeavour, these six participating artists have received support from a number of sponsors including Bradley’s Commercial Insurance, Jiffy Photo & Print, Postcard Perfect Turfgrass Specialists Ltd., Lois n’ Frima’s Ice Cream Parlour, Heads Up Barber Shop, Laurysen Kitchens, Curves Stittsville, Opal By Crystal Nails, Farm Boy and NEXT Restaurant.

Blind and visually impaired people in many countries around the world use the familiar white cane as they move around their communities. The Lions White Cane Campaign name is meant to help increase awareness of this traditional “symbol of independence” for the blind. This White Cane Campaign is an annual initiative by the Stittsville District Lions Club to raise awareness of vision related issues and to raise funds to help provide necessary resources and programs to those with vision impairment. Lions Clubs traditionally have had helping the blind and those with vision impairment as one of its core goals. Lions Clubs, for instance, are supporters of a Dog Guide program which provides trained animals for those with vision impairment. Canada’s aging population is expected to bring with it a rise in agerelated blindness. By the age of 65, one in nine Canadians is expected to experience irreversible vision loss. By the age of 75, it is expected that this ratio will jump to one in four.

9 RUN RUN Continued from page 1

Race director Brenda Tirrell of Stittsville, who is a volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghter in Stittsville, and her organizing team have worked hard with Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, the police and the city’s special events committee to ensure that these road closures and resulting trafďŹ c delays will be as minimal as possible. Police will be available to let residents of these streets out onto the closed road if an emergency should arise and will let them onto the roads when it is safe to do so. Letters have been handed out to affected residents, explaining the road closures and resulting trafďŹ c delays. And just what will these road closures be this Saturday, Oct. 19? Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street will be closed in both directions from Stittsville Main Street to West Ridge Drive from about 7 a.m. to 12 noon This lengthy road closure is necessary to allow for erection of the start/ďŹ nish line structure which will be the start and ďŹ nish line for both the 10K run and the half marathon event. The street will be re-opened to trafďŹ c after the last participant has crossed the ďŹ nish line and the start/ďŹ nish line structure is dismantled. Stittsville Main Street will be closed in both directions from Abbott Street south to Fernbank Road from about 8:50 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. as both the 10K run and the half marathon event participants will be running along this section of the street after leaving the starting line on Abbott Street. Stittsville Main Street will be re-opened to trafďŹ c once the last half marathon participant has reached Fernbank Road. Fernbank Road itself will be closed in both directions from Stittsville Main Street to West Ridge Drive from about 8:55 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. for participants in the 10K event. Once the last runner turns onto West Ridge Drive, Fernbank Road will be re-opened to trafďŹ c. West Ridge Drive northbound from Fernbank Road to Abbott Street will be closed to trafďŹ c from about 8:55 a.m. to 12 noon. The road may re-open from Fernbank Road to Bell Street once the last 10K runner has passed Bell Street. But West Ridge Drive at Abbott Street will be closed right through to the completion of both the 10K and half marathon events. Stittsville Main Street southbound from Fernbank Road to Flewellyn Road will be closed to trafďŹ c from about 8:50 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. as the half marathon runners will be moving along the street at that time. This section of Stittsville Main Street will be re-opened to southbound trafďŹ c once the last runner has turned onto Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners. Flewellyn Road westbound from Stanley’s Corners will be closed all the way to Munster Road from about 9:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. It will be re-opened to westbound trafďŹ c once the last runner has turned onto Munster Road. Munster Road northbound will be closed from Flewellyn Road to Fernbank Road from about 9:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. as half marathon runners move along it. This northbound lane closure will end once the last runner turns onto Fernbank Road.

Fernbank Road will be closed from Munster Road east to Jinkinson Road from about 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for the half marathon. It will be re-opened to trafďŹ c once the last runner has turned onto Jinkinson Road. Jinkinson Road will be closed in both directions from Fernbank Road to a location just north of the Trans Canada Trail crossing from about 9:30 a.m. to 12 noon as the half marathon runners will be going along this stretch of road to reach the Trans Canada Trail. Runners in the half marathon will then head east on the Trans Canada Trail all the way back to Stittsville, crossing West Ridge Drive and then hitting the ďŹ nish line on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street. Participants in the 10K run and the half marathon will reach the starting line on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street by going along the Trans Canada Trail westward from Sacred Heart Catholic High School. This will provide an opportunity to warm up before participating. The Bushtukah 10K run will begin at 9 a.m. while the Bushtukah half marathon will get underway at 9:15 a.m., although walkers will head out at 8 a.m. The BMO Nesbitt Burns 2K Family Fun Run/Walk will start at 10 a.m. on the Trans Canada Trail in front of Sacred Heart Catholic High School. Post race activities will include the Chiefs’ Chili Cook-Off in which the chiefs of the three emergency services will be competing for the honour of having prepared the best tasting chili. There will also be chili available for everyone after the races, supplied thanks to Scrumptious Creative Catering of Stittsville. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville will have a face painting station set up at Sacred Heart High School. Brad the Balloon guy will be on hand at the school thanks to the generosity of Deschenes-Poitras Family Dental. Stittsville Sobeys will be providing the ďŹ nish line food, water and chocolate milk. Non-perishable food items being donated to the Stittsville Food Bank will be accepted at the Sacred Heart headquarters. This 9 RUN RUN event last year 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. This year funds raised by this 9 RUN RUN emergency services run will be going to Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) and also to help support Christie Lake Kids. Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.) was created by friends and family of Daron Richardson who lost her life 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. 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 to develop positive attitudes.

St. Elmo’s Fire artistic décor and craft shop which has been located in this log building at 1194 Carp Road in Stittsville for the past five years, is closing as the property has been sold. A final Christmas craft sale is being held this Friday, Oct. 18 and Saturday, Oct. 19.

Farewell days at St. Elmo’s Fire feature Christmas art, craft sale Special to the News

News - St. Elmo’s Fire is being extinguished this weekend. The gift and art shop in a log building at 1194 Carp Road between Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road is closing as the building has been sold and soon will be a different business. For the past five years, St. Elmo’s Fire has been a place to go to buy a gift or personal item, from everything decorative to clothing and art supplies. It has been a place to take an art course, make friends, talk with owner Christina Lovisa and attend special events such as a witches’ ball for Halloween. The art classes were popular with Christina always there to teach and to share all that she knew about the world of art. Dulce Tapp was one of those who was a frequent visitor to St. Elmo’s Fire where she enjoyed the art atmosphere and enjoyed being able to share stories with others. “It always amazed me experiencing the magic in such a tiny old building,” she has written about St. Elmo’s Fire and its atmosphere of art and creativity. The surroundings inspired her and also made her feel comfortable, just like at home. Although St. Elmo’s Fire is closing, those like Dulce Tapp will miss it but they also know

that their memories of St. Elmo’s Fire and Christina Lovisa will remain alive forever. Everyone in Stittsville is invited to drop into St. Elmo’s Fire this Friday, Oct. 18 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. or this Saturday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to say goodbye to St. Elmo’s Fire. It is not ceasing without a blazing exit, in this case, a big Christmas art and craft sale. Local artists and artisans will be on hand to talk about their work and offer a variety of unique Christmas gifts. This coming Friday and Saturday will also provide everyone with an opportunity to say goodbye to Christina Lovisa and to wish her well in the future. St. Elmo’s Fire is located in a log building that is one of the oldest buildings in Stittsville, built during the rebuilding of the area after the Great Fire of 1870 destroyed Stittsville. In 1951, the log building became the home of the Delahunt family and it was from these premises that Mrs. Jessie Delahunt operated her Log House Bake Shop from 1962 to 1972. Mrs. Delahunt recently passed away, having taken up residence at the Stittsville Villa Retirement Community following her sale of the log home to Christina Lovisa. Built of squared logs liberally chinked with a white mortar, the two storey gabled house is finished with planking in each of the gables.

New plan has rail on right track

F

ollowing the release of a draft Transportation Master Plan, councillors and staff at city hall should be applauded for presenting an ambitious vision for Ottawa’s public transit

future. While the document also offers prescriptions for things such as pedestrian, cycling and motor vehicle mobility, it is the plans to bring rail transit to the east, west and south of the city eight years ahead of the schedule that is cause for excitement. The project will, according to the draft document, be constructed at a cost of roughly $2.5 billion, and for the most part will help address many of the traffic issues plaguing the city currently. By taking light rail east to OrlÊans, the large commuter base there will have an efficient, compelling alternative to joining the line ups on highway 174 each day. By reaching south, the extension of the O-Train line will make amends for older, scrapped plans to extend rail to the burgeoning community of Riverside South and beyond. To the west, the major west-end shopping nodes and the Algonquin College campus will be tied into the Confederation Line, on which tunnelling began last week. All in all, it is much more than many might have expected after the last light rail saga. That doesn’t

mean, however, that there aren’t a few question marks about the plans, perhaps things that might be addressed before the final plan is brought before council. First, and most glaring, is why rail isn’t going west to Kanata. Kanata, like OrlÊans, has a significant community of people who commute downtown. Unlike OrlÊans, Kanata also has a significant employment base, meaning while some hop on a bus to go downtown, others are heading to Kanata for work each day. That means buses are full in both directions, as trains would be, if city hall saw fit. A link to the airport is also a glaring omission. As the city’s largest transportation hub, it only makes sense to link it to the rest of the transportation network. The official response is it’s not worth the added expense, but this may appear short sighted as the city grows in the years ahead. Another is the dependence on funding from other levels of government. Hopefully when the time comes this is not a problem, but the hoping for the best from Parliament Hill and Queen’s Park is not necessarily the most firm foundation for any plan. The city should hope other levels of government don’t derail what is otherwise a good plan for Ottawa’s transit future.

The perfect monument for a half-built city

O

ut along the airport parkway this ‌ Thing hangs over the road. It is a well publicized Thing and so much has been written and spoken about it that people can almost figure out what it is. It’s sort of an overpass, bridge kind of Thing, with a kind of tower arrangement at one end. It’s about half built, maybe a bit less than that. At one point it was imagined that people would use the Thing to get from Hunt Club Road to South Keys, and vice versa. Now nobody knows what to do with it. Construction companies and engineering firms have come and gone since the building of the Thing began. There have been third-party reviews, whatever they are. Meanwhile, the Thing sits there and no work is being done on it. Understandably, people are wondering what should be done. They could rip it down. Or they could start from scratch. Or they could get another review. But none of those things would be right. Here is what should be done about the Thing beside the airport parkway: nothing. Let it sit there as a reminder of what kind of city we have here, a monument, as it were, to the decision-making process.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town About 25 years ago, when the first of several new airports was being constructed just down the road from the uncompleted Thing, there was a period of slight chaos in which deplaning passengers had to walk across the tarmac and dodge their way around various bits of construction on their way into the half-completed terminal building. Arriving at the terminal, they were greeted by a sign. “Welcome to Ottawa,� it said. “Sorry for the inconvenience.� What could have been a more perfect introduction to our city? Sadly, the terminal was completed, eventually to be replaced by another still grander one, and the sign disappeared. A good guess is that Public Works has it, in the certainty that it will be necessary again.

Too bad about the sign, but now we have the uncompleted Thing hanging over the road to stand as a symbolic welcome to the kind of town we are. And what kind of town is that? It is the kind of town where people can’t make up their minds. Should they keep on building it or tear it down. Or should they think about it some more. Or maybe get another third-party review. Maybe even a fourth-party review. There may not be such a thing as a fourthparty review, but if it does exist this would be the place to find it. You might find it at LeBreton Flats, a multi-acre monument to indecision. Of course, Ottawa is more than a town in which people can’t make up their minds. It is also a town in which somebody else changes your mind for you once you’ve made it up. Take, for example, another parkway, the one that used to be called the Western Parkway and is now named after Sir John A. The city government made up its mind that light rail would go nicely along the western section of the parkway. That was fine until the National Capital Commission unmade up the city’s mind. So now light rail will twist and turn and go

through neighbourhoods and into tunnels, all because there were too many minds to make up. There should be a monument to this sort of thing, because it is truly unique to us. The place to build the monument is right beside the Sir John A. parkway. And the thing to build is a statue of a light rail train, the only one ever to use the parkway. Wouldn’t that be perfect? Mind you, it would only be appropriate if it was half-finished. Can we get started on it right away? Or, as soon as it has been properly studied.

Letter: Pipeline concerns Editor: Ish and I attended the TransCanada open house on Thursday evening, Oct. 10. Some of our questions and concerns were not fully addressed. We wanted to highlight some of our remaining concerns and outstanding questions: What is the true age of the Stittsville line? The main line was built in 1973, an additional “Stittsville loop� was built around 2005. TransCanada representatives gave residents conflicting information at the open house. We separately heard “less than ten years old� and built in the 1980s and 1991. As well, there was confusion about the length of the 42 inch line versus the 40 year old 36 inch line. We are confused and think it important to seek clarity on this, as the older line is potentially more vulnerable. This should have been a straightforward answer from TransCanada. Will TransCanada continue to request exemptions from the National Energy Board Regulation 54 requiring third party inspections of its welding and other work? Ish asked one representative who could not provide any reassurance in this regard. We are concerned about safety and accountability if TransCanada is performing

and inspecting its own work. We would like clarity regarding the inspection of the Stittsville loop. Was the inspecting party contracted by TransCanada or was the inspection performed by an independent firm? We did not receive assurances that the national gas supply in Ottawa would not be negatively affected by the conversion. One representative indicated that the pumping stations would have to be converted from natural gas compressors to oil turbines in order to move the bitumen through the pipeline. If so, a turbine pumping station would no longer be able to support the transmission of natural gas, thus severely reducing natural gas supply in our community. We asked about the integrity of the pipeline during potential seismic activity. The TransCanada representative indicated that the pipelines in Alaska are built to withstand earthquakes but he was not certain whether seismic activity was addressed in the case of the line through Stittsville. Since we have recently experienced mild seismic tremors, this is a concern. We will continue to work through available channels to get answers. Ish Sikaneta and Tinda Sebe-Sikaneta Stittsville

Letter: Keeping tradition alive Editor: In preparation for the celebration of the 25th anniversary at our equestrian farm, Westar Farms, on Fernbank Road, I was looking through my boxes of memorabilia including photos, horse show programmes and newspaper articles. In doing so, I realized how the Stittsville News, and in particular reporter John Brummell and editor John Curry, have chronicled our evolution from conception (notices of rezoning applications in 1986), birth (grand opening in Oct. 1988) and continual growth (photos and articles of events in which our students have participated or about the many competitions held here). In doing so, John and John have become part of our family and history, allowing us to share what we do with the community which in 1988 was part of Goulbourn township and is now our little corner of the city of Ottawa. Much has changed over this period

of time but as we all adapt to those changes, it is comforting to know that some things and some people remain constant. John and John were both here on Saturday, Sept. 28. John B. came out during the day and took photos of the competitors at our final horse show of the season and John C. arrived in the evening for our 25th anniversary party and took a photo of the 20-some friends and family who were also at the grand opening party in 1988. Some of the families who came to the celebration spanned three generations. While we have instant access to news and events from around the world, it is nice to get some in-depth coverage of those events going on right here in our community. Thanks to John Brummell, John Curry and the Stittsville News for keeping the tradition alive. Bridget and Jeff McKessock Westar Farms Fernbank Road

‘Angels in the Night’ holding fundraiser Jessica Cunha jessica.cunha@metroland.com

News – A group of Ottawa realtors including Richmond resident Sarah McKay are “Angels in the Night,” delivering goods and presents over the holidays to various shelters. This year, these realtors from Mortgage Intelligence and Invis, the firm which created the charity Angels in the Night, is planning this year to donate just before Christmas a busload of gifts and life necessities to women and children living in three Ottawa shelters. “It’s a pretty heartwarming experience,” says Robert Stanfield of Kanata who is the organizer for the Ottawa Chapter of Angels in the Night. “We get emails from the women in the shelters … they’re just overjoyed.” Women and children staying at the Nelson House of Ottawa Carleton, Minwaashin Lodge and Evelyn Horne Young Women’s Emergency Shelter will all be receiving gifts and items from Angels in the Night this year. On the delivery night in December, the “Angel” realtors will unload the busload of gifts and items while dressed in yellow ponchos. To help fund this initiative, the group is hosting a fundraising event at the D’Arcy McGee Pub in Kanata this coming Monday, Oct. 21 to raise the funds needed to purchase items like bathrobes, pyjamas, pillows, blankets, toiletries and children’s gifts. “The thing with these shelters, they’re very often overlooked for items like this,” says Mr. Stanfield. “We want to get about $6,000,” he adds. “That enables us to buy all the products.” Everything for the live and silent auctions that will take place at the fundraiser has been donated, from the venue right through the auction items. All of the proceeds will go towards purchasing goods for the shelters. The silent and live auctions will feature 48 items including two West Jet tickets for anywhere that the airline flies, a private box at an

Ottawa Senators game, spa packages and a fullservice MLS realtor listing. “Everyone will find something,” Mr. Stanfield says. Admission to this fundraising event is unique in itself – one bottle of wine. These admission bottles will then go into a raffle draw in which the winner will get to take home every bottle collected. “Whoever wins is leaving with a fully stocked wine cellar,” Mr. Stanfield notes. This fundraising event will take place this coming Monday, Oct. 21 at D’Arcy McGee’s Pub at 655 Terry Fox Drive in Kanata, starting at 6:30 p.m. Angels in the Night is a community charitable effort that delivers newly purchased coats, blankets, gloves, toiletries and other essentials to homeless shelters across Canada as well as holiday gifts for children at these shelters.

Pool at GRC closed until December

At the outset of the summer, the City of Ottawa released the draft OfďŹ cial Plan for public comment. In addition to that, the City is now seeking comments from the public on the draft Transportation Master Plan (TMP). The full document is available for viewing at Ottawa.ca and you can also review the Cycling & Pedestrian Plans there as well. These plans set out the transportation priorities up until 2031. The focus in these types of documents is primarily within the urban area, but there are some references to projects within the rural area as well. However, the TMP does not include renewal projects and the majority of road work in the rural area is through infrastructure renewal.

Special to the News

Locally, the Transportation Master Plan includes widening Carp Road, from Hazeldean Road to Highway 417. The consultation for the Carp Road project is already underway. In addition, the City of Ottawa will move forward with the Kanata South Link, which will widen Old Richmond Road and West Hunt Club Road. This project ties in with the Hope Side Road/Old Richmond Road intersection, which is scheduled to see improvements by 2015. Another key aspect of the draft Transportation Master Plan is the plan to expand our light rail network at the same time to the west, east and south. This ambitious plan would see light rail extended to Bayshore Shopping Centre, Place D’Orleans and Riverside South by 2023. It would include 19 new stations in addition to the 13 currently under construction as part of the Confederation Line that runs from Tunney’s Pasture to Blair Road. This plan has been based on receiving funding from the Federal and Provincial Governments. If we do not receive funding, we do not move forward. The affordability model only works with their contribution. Four public information sessions are taking place over the next two weeks on the Building a Liveable Ottawa plans that have been tabled in draft form: the OfďŹ cial Plan, the Infrastructure Master Plan, the Transportation Master Plan, the Cycling Plan and the Pedestrian Plan.

Rotary clean-up of Hazeldean Road Special to the News

All the draft plans are available on Ottawa.ca. Residents may e-mail comments on the plans to planning@ottawa.ca. Please feel free to send comments directly to me as well or to copy me on any submissions to the planning email address. Discussion and debate on the transit portion of the TMP will take place at a Transit Commission meeting on Thursday, October 24. Transportation Committee will consider the draft plan on Friday, November 15. The reports are scheduled for City Council consideration on Tuesday, November 26, 2013, which is a further change from what I reported in recent weeks.

When it was all said and done, 20 bags of litter and garbage were collected in this fall clean up blitz by the Rotary Club members. Sam Spriggs, son of Rotary Club member Brad Spriggs, who helped out with the cleanup along with his brother Spencer, discovered a styrofoam container that had been discarded – quite a find.

News - The pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville is going to remain closed until sometime in December. It had been going to re-open last Friday, Oct. 11 after a planned closure for annual maintenance work. However, this re-opening has now been re-scheduled until December. The city undertakes annual planned maintenance work at all of its indoor pools including the pool at the GRC on Shea Road. This work involves annual minor maintenance work such as painting, tile grouting and cleaning. This year at the GRC, this work also involved major lifecycle work on the exterior building envelope and also a roof replacement above the pool. That’s why this annual maintenance shutdown period was a little longer than normal this year. But now this shutdown is being extended into December because, when the roof replacement was being completed, early stages of mould were discovered in an area of the ceiling. The situation was quickly assessed and it was determined that it was best to address this issue proactively and immediately to ensure the safety and operation of the pool. The mould is to be removed in the coming weeks. Because this mould remediation work is now needed, the pool closure period has had to be extended. It is expected that the pool will re-open in December. While the pool at the GRC is now closed for a more extended period, the other areas of the GRC including the arenas, the fitness rooms and the community space remain open and in use. These areas have all been inspected and have been deemed safe for public use. All aquatic programming and aquatic rentals at the GRC are cancelled until the pool re-opens. For participants registered in the swimming sessions scheduled to start in October or November, a credit for the full value of the lessons will automatically be returned to your city of Ottawa family account. This credit can then be used to register in the next session of lessons at the GRC or for lessons at another pool or applied to any recreation programming offered by the city. If a refund is preferred, please contact the GRC and let staff know. Participants in aqua fitness classes can choose to use their membership pass at another facility or can request a membership suspension, a refund or a credit. The two closest city of Ottawa pools, the Kanata Leisure Centre and the Walter Baker Sports Centre, are currently full in regards to their programming. However, depending on family availability, there may be some openings in group, private or semi-private lessons at these facilities.

News - A ďŹ nal well water sample drop off in this fall’s well water sample blitz in Goulbourn by the city of Ottawa will take place 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. 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. These free well water sample bottle blitzes are held in both the spring and the fall each year. Free drop offs have already happened in Richmond, Munster and Ashton. Homeowners are encouraged to have their water supply used for drinking tested for bacterial contamination three times a year. This 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 with these city of Ottawa water sample drop off blitzes, you can drop off the sample locally and it will be taken to the St. Laurent Blvd. laboratory for you. And it’s easy to prepare the well water sample bottle for this testing.

7,&2

Well water sample drop off on Oct. 29 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; ďŹ ll the bottle to â€œďŹ ll lineâ€? directly from the tap without changing the ow 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.

Used book sale Special to the News

News - Calling all book lovers! If you want to stock up on your reading material for the coming winter or are perhaps just looking for a book or two for immediate reading, then the upcoming fall sale by the Stittsville library’s “A Good Read�

used book store is for you. This sale will be happening on Saturday, Nov. 2 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. And not only will there be a selection of gently used books of all types

but the prices are going to be amazing – three books for just one dollar. That’s it – a trio of books for a loonie. There’s no better deal anywhere, anytime! And these will not be just any old used books. Volunteers from the community who operate this “A Good Read� book store at the Stittsville library work diligently and hard to ensure that the books offered by “A Good Read� at any time but also at sale time are books that are in

good condition, relevant and, to use the store’s name, are worth “a good read.� The “A Good Read� book store at the Stittsville library branch has been operating for five years now. During that time, “A Good Read� has donated all of its proceeds back to the library to purchase many items that add to the experience at the library for its patrons. These items are usually “wish for’s� that do not make it into the regular library budget.

Last year, for instance, the “A Good Read� book store donated over $10,000 to the library from its fundraising efforts. So, books purchased at “A Good Read� book store sale like the one coming up on Saturday, Nov. 2 not only provide a reader with books at rock-bottom prices but also ends up helping out the library through directing all proceeds to the library. It’s a win-win situation that helps all readers and library patrons.

Judicial review? Signature Audio Video helps make ‘dreams’ John Curry

Special to the News

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Signature Audio Video in Stittsville is one of the “dream makers” in CHEO’s 2013 Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. Just like it has done since 2003, Signature Audio Video donated and installed audio visual equipment to the 2013 CHEO Dream Home, the grand prize in the lottery. And it truly is a “dream” audio visual system that has been designed and installed by Signature Audio Video in this year’s $1 million-plus dream home grand prize. It includes six flat panel televisions ranging in size from 40 inches to 65 inches located in various rooms including the master bedroom, living room, games room and home fitness room; a media room equipped with two 65 inch televisions independent of each other, enabling a family to watch television and play games at the same time; a Control 4 automated lighting control system that turns interior lighting off and on based on time-of-day lighting needs; a network of in-ceiling speakers that allows music to be distributed from different sources to multiple rooms; an IPbased surveillance system including exterior video cameras that records events to a hard drive and emails the homeowner when motion is detected; a centrally located hidden automation centre that enables homeowners to operate all audio-visual and surveillance systems from anywhere in the home using an I-phone, I-pad or dedicated tablet device; and custom furniture including a semi-circular couch and twist chairs

News - A judicial review of the Ontario Ministry of the Environment’s approval of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for a new landfill on Carp Road could cost an estimated $150,000 to $200,000. This was the cost figure suggested by Stittsville Village Association (SVA) past president Marilyn Jenkins as she reported on current actions by the Coalition of Citizen Groups opposed to any Carp Road landfill, a coalition of which the SVA is a member. At present the Coalition has initiated fundraising to help finance its efforts in opposing any new landfill on Carp Road. In addition, the Coalition has asked to city to consider launching such a judicial review process itself with city funding. The city is currently examining the situation to determine whether such a judicial review would be successful in altering or refuting the EA approval. Ms. Jenkins told the SVA executive that the Coalition’s lawyer feels that there are good grounds for seeking a judicial review of the EA approval. A judicial review of the EA approval would see the courts examine whether the EA as approved met the Terms of Reference that were established and whether the Minister considered everything in making the decision. The EA decision made no mention of the conditions for approval which the city of Ottawa submitted during the EA process. Ms. Jenkins noted that even if a judicial review did not change the decision, the city still had other routes to go to try to impose some conditions on the approval, such as the rezoning process that will be required for the landfill to proceed. Ms. Jenkins said that while the new landfill is intended for so-called “ICI” (industrial, commercial and institutional) waste, such waste does contained a lot of organic material that will end up in the landfill. She predicted that although Waste Management, operator of the proposed new landfill, will have an odour control system for the landfill, “it is going to at some point smell.”

in the media room. Wow, what a audio visual and surveillance system! And, indeed, CHEO acknowledges that Signature Audio Video does provide a lot of WOW to the Dream Home. “They provide the WOW factor in the home with their product, and work to integrate a system in the house that is like none other,” says Connie Lebrun, corporate development officer for the CHEO Foundation which conducts the annual CHEO Dream of a Lifetime Lottery. This does not happen overnight. Roger Delarosbil of Signature Audio Video says that he and his team start meeting about their contribution to the CHEO Dream Home in January and then work on the project from then on through to the Dream Home launch in September. The team is involved with the design of the basement and the home’s audio visual features. It all revolves around how can the audio visual features of the home help drive ticket sales in the lottery, Mr. Delarosbil says. “The Signature system caters to all audio visual and surveillance needs,” says Brad Boyle, a sales and design consultant for Signature Audio Visual. “It seamlessly matches the level of detail, customization and glitz that is found throughout the home. We have taken as much care in choosing our components as the interior designer and others who detailed the home.” And it works well, as evidenced by the fact that the surveillance system installed in this year’s 5,568 square foot Dream

Home in Minto’s Mahogany community in Manotick helped police nab a thief who stole some items from the backyard of the home in September. Mr. Delarosbil admits that many people do not realize that Signature Audio Visual has donated to the CHEO Dream Home since 2003, a fact that he simply attributes to the reality that Signature Audio Visual does not talk a lot about the involvement. But CHEO applauds Signature Audio Visual’s contributions this year and over the years since 2003. “Signature Audio has been involved with our Dream of a Lifetime lottery home for many years now,” says CHEO Foundation corporate development officer Connie Lebrun. “Roger Delarosbil and his team of experts have created amazing entertainment rooms in the Dream Home and each have showcased a unique flare of leading edge technology and design.” And Brad Boyle of Signature Audio Visual gives the firm’s view of its involvement with the Dream of a Lifetime Lottery when he says: “People who support the CHEO lottery dream of owning a luxury home; we are proud to be a part of that dream.” Signature Audio Video, which is located at 126 Iber Road in Stittsville, specializes in home entertainment technologies and commercial media solutions with a particular expertise in audio visual system design and installation, system engineering and customer support and service. Signature Audio Video has served the Ottawa area since 1997.

October 11th, 2013 TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN On October 9th, Mayor Watson introduced the draft 2013 Transportation Master Plan. The Plan was tabled at the joint Transportation and Transit Commission meeting. The Plan is a key part of Building a Liveable Ottawa 2031, a city-wide initiative to make Ottawa a more vibrant, healthy and sustainable city. At the heart of the proposed 2013 TMP is Stage 2 of a city-wide rapid transit network. For the Stittsville/Kanata area, the 2013 TMP focuses on leveraging current highway infrastructure investments to better connect residents and businesses, and to ensure the servicing of new growth. Proposed projects will improve connections to the expanded highway network, as well as to major employment nodes, while enhancing walking, cycling and transit networks within the community. There will be two public information sessions in Kanata. The first will take place on October 17th from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the Kanata Recreation Complex- Hall A. The second will take place on October 22nd from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the Walter Baker Sports Centre- 2nd floor food court. GOULBOURN RECREATION COMPLEX POOL UPDATE The re-opening of the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) had been planned for October 11th. However, due to circumstances noted below, the pool will not open until December of this year. The City conducts annual planned maintenance work for all City pools. The pools are generally closed for a two to three week period to perform annual minor maintenance work. However this year the work being carried out also involved major lifecycle work on the exterior building envelope and a roof replacement above the pool. While the roof replacement was being completed on schedule last week, early stages of mould were discovered in an area of the ceiling. Additional time is now required for mould remediation resulting in the extension of the original planned pool closure period. All aquatic programming and aquatic rentals are cancelled until the pool reopens. For participants registered in the swimming sessions scheduled to start in October or November, a credit for the full value of the lessons will automatically be returned to your City of Ottawa family account. If a refund is preferred, please contact the facility to let us know. Another alternative is to investigate participating with one of the swim clubs. Dan Brisebois, Manager, Aquatic Venues & Services with the City, can provide you a list of the Clubs in the west/south end of the City.

News - Now that the new RideauGoulbourn federal riding has been established, Elections Canada is now looking for a returning ofďŹ cer for the riding. Elections Canada is the independent body set up by Parliament to conduct federal elections. To work as a returning ofďŹ cer for a federal riding, a person must be a Canadian citizen, at least 18 years old and live in the riding. The job of a returning ofďŹ cer is to manage the election in the riding. Those with project management experience with skills in both ďŹ nance and human resources are considered ideal for the job. The rate of pay is set by regulation, with the current fee for an election period being about $24,000. A returning ofďŹ cer can be expected to work close to 500 hours in the year leading up to an election at a rate of $48.04 per hour. This rate is currently under review. Returning ofďŹ cers are appointed for a ten year term. During this time, the person must remain non-partisan. Those interested in being the returning ofďŹ cer for the Rideau-Carleton federal riding can apply by going to www.elections.ca and click on “Employmentâ€? to complete the application form or to ďŹ nd out more about the job. You can also call Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868 for more details. Applications for this job of returning ofďŹ cer for the new federal riding

of Rideau-Carleton must be received by Elections Canada by midnight on Friday, Oct. 25. The new federal riding of RideauCarleton has a population of 89,522 which is 15.71 percent below the Ontario standard of 106,213 for ridings. The new riding includes Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn as well as the former Rideau township including Manotick, the former Osgoode township and the Riverside South area. The riding stretches across the southern edge of the city of Ottawa, extending on both sides of the Rideau River in the city. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario, which established this new riding in its recently completed report on riding boundaries in the province, opted for the name Rideau-Carleton in noting that the Rideau River is a prominent natural feature of the riding and forms part of its southern boundary. It is every ten years, after a Canadian census is held, that the number of electoral districts and their boundaries are revised to reect population shifts and growth. An electoral boundaries commission is established for each province, with each operating independently in proposing new riding boundaries. These new riding boundaries will be used in any federal general election which happens at least seven months after this fall. The next federal general election in Canada is not expected until the year 2015.

Diverse group attends Energy East oil pipeline open house john.curry@metroland.com

News - A federal MP, a city of Ottawa councillor, a community association president, a couple with three children, a resident with worries about a possible spill affecting her water supply, an Ecology Ottawa volunteer concerned with climate change, the owner of an ecologically-friendly products store, individuals seeking information and answers to their questions – these were among those who were at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville on Thursday, Oct. 10, drawn there by a public drop-in open house dealing with TransCanada’s proposed Energy East oil pipeline project. And at the arena they encountered not only the formal TransCanada open house in the upstairs hall, staffed by a team of name-bearing TransCanada dark-blue shirted representatives ready to respond to any question posed by someone looking at one of the numerous information panels about TransCanada and this pipeline project but also an informal information station set up outside the doors to the arena by Ecology Ottawa and the Council of Canadians, complete with protest banners, posters reminding folks of the 3.8 million litre oil spill at the Kalamazoo River in Michigan and volunteers handing out brochures describing this TransCanada project as the “Energy Waste Pipeline.” Ecology Ottawa and the Council of Canadians, along with volunteers from groups like Save Canada and SansTransCanada, some wearing green hard hats making them appear at first glance as some sort of TransCanada representation, were there to provide an alternative protest view of

the proposed project, a much different view than that being espoused in the official open house in the upstairs hall. “There’s more to the story than what’s going on inside,” said Andrea Harden-Donahue, energy and climate justice campaigner with the Council of Canadians. She said that the Council of Canadians was there in the hope that people attending the open house would drop by and talk to Council representatives about its view of the project. Ms. Harden-Donahue was handing out pink information sheets containing various “talking points” countering some of the claims being made by TransCanada about the Energy East pipeline project such as relieving dependence on foreign oil, creating jobs and pipeline safety. The information sheet stated that “The Council of Canadians opposes the Energy East pipeline” because it would pose a threat to local water supplies, would promote expansion of the tar sands in Alberta and would delay any switch to alternative energy sources. Bruce Hyer, federal MP for Thunder Bay-Superior North and friend of former NDP leader the late Jack Layton, who now sits as an independent in the House of Commons after election under the NDP banner, admits to being an early proponent of piping western oil to Eastern Canada, well before suggestion of this specific socalled Energy East pipeline project by TransCanada. An admitted nationalist wanting to support Canadian jobs and resources, his early support for such a project was based on a belief that such a pipeline would get Eastern Canada off relying on foreign oil imports, with only any surplus going for export. But with this Energy East

Open house for oil pipeline Continued from page 26

But inside the hall, Philippe Cannon, spokesperson for TransCanada for this proposed Energy East pipeline, in an interview outlined the TransCanada view of the project. He said that safety is TransCanada’s number one priority in such projects and noted that the Energy East pipeline will be monitored on a 24/7 basis. With any drop in pressure along the pipeline, that area can be isolated in a matter of minutes, he said. In addition, the valves in the pipeline in that area will shut off automatically if conditions persist, regardless of what action is taken or not taken by the monitoring staff. In fact, he said that TransCanada has an even better safety record than the 99.99 percent industry-wide safety record for pipelines proclaimed by the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association. He said that TransCanada has never had an oil pipeline rupture. He said that “incidents� do happen and are reported but that they are not spills but rather situations which arise at oil pipeline pumping stations where any spilled oil is contained within the pumping station. Mr. Cannon said that TransCanada invests each year in safety, touting that TransCanada has the “leading industry record and plans to keep it that way.� He also explained about the “P.I.G.,� or “pipeline investigation gauge,� an instrument that uses magnetic technology and sensors to detect any flaws or defects on the inside of a pipeline. A “P.I.G.� is used not only to clean a pipeline but also in situations of a pipeline conversion from natural gas to oil as is being proposed in the Energy East situation. The “P.I.G.� is used to travel through the emptied pipeline, checking the pipe centimeter by centimeter. It

can detect any defect or bump in the pipe. The result is that TransCanada digs up the section of pipe identified by the “P.I.G.� and either repairs the pipe or replaces it. Then the pipeline, after being checked by the “P.I.G.,� is pressure tested using water before any oil would be transported through it. Mr. Cannon noted that the pipeline being converted to oil from natural gas in the Stittsville area was installed in 2005. He dismissed concerns that eliminating one of the two current natural gas pipelines running through this right-of-way would impact the future availability and price of natural gas in the Ottawa area. He said that TransCanada has done all of the calculations and TransCanada will be able to continue to deliver all of the natural gas needed by its customers who distribute it locally. Mr. Cannon also praised the drop-in open house sessions being held by TransCanada as a pre-consultation before submitting a formal application to the National Energy Board for this Energy East pipeline project. He said that at this series of open houses, including the one in Stittsville, TransCanada representatives on hand answer all questions, either right on the spot or, if necessary, by getting back to the person via email with the response. TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline project involves 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. Between 500,000 and 850,000 barrels of crude oil per day will be pumped through this pipeline when completed.

Stittsville mother is founder of PANDAS Canada John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Five days of having a seven year old daughter displaying symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder including a tic (involuntarily pulling her head to the side frequently). Terrifying. Realizing that many including people in the medical community are not aware of a bacteriallycaused mental health disorder called PANDAS which stands for Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal infections. Revealing. Taking action and founding PANDAS Canada to spread awareness of this disorder. Courageous and admirable. This has been the story of Kelly O’Donnell of Stittsville ever since Sept. 2012 when her seven year old daughter, normally a cheerful youngsters, came home after school on a Wednesday in a tearful condition that worsened into a condition of repeated repetitive behaviours, all happening within 48 hours. “She was like a robot at the end,” Kelly says about her daughter – a literal slave to the compulsive rituals usually associated with obsessive compulsive disorder. A Friday trip to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario saw an alert doctor on duty think that the behaviour might be a rare disorder caused by a strep infection. Yes, that’s right, simple strep throat. Although the youngster did not have a sore throat or fever, a throat swab was done and on the following Sunday, CHEO notified Kelly that the swab tested positive for strep. Penicillin, that old reliable, was prescribed and by the next day, the child’s symptoms were virtually all gone. Kelly admits that these five days involved “quite a roller coaster” of an emotional ride for the family, going from a Thursday night when there were serious concerns about her daughter’s future to a Monday noon when she was pretty much back to her normal self. A quick diagnosis by an alert doctor and the quick prescription of medication made all of the difference. A month later, Kelly’s daughter saw the disorder return. This time the doctor had not heard of PANDAS

but thanks to the parents’ persuasion, antibiotics were prescribed and the symptoms disappeared, although this time it took two weeks. Kelly admits that she now is always living in fear that her daughter may have another relapse but a number of months have now passed without incident, so her fear level is diminishing. She also has a standing prescription order for penicillin on her fridge door, ready for immediate application if her daughter’s symptoms were to suddenly return. But her experience showed her not just how quickly and unexpectedly the disorder can occur but that even the medical community, much less the general public, is not fully aware of this disorder whose behaviour mirrors that of the obsessive compulsive disorder but that is a mental disorder caused by a common childhood illness, strep throat. Research is ongoing but it is generally thought that the body’s autoimmune system, in its hunt for the strep infection, goes after a particular part of the brain, causing the behaviours that include repetition and other actions that are usually associated with the obsessive compulsive disorder. But no definitive connection has been made linking this disorder to strep infection, as yet. Indeed, it took about 50 years before it was generally accepted that rheumatic fever has a link with strep infection, so it sometimes takes time to establish these links. Kelly wonders just how many cases there have been over the years where obsessive compulsive mental health disorder was diagnosed in a situation that may have been caused by a strep bacterial infection that could be easily treated with antibiotics. She feels that there has to be increased awareness among the medical profession about this PANDAS disorder. Kelly did take some actions following her daughter’s wrestling with this disorder. A nutritional consultant, she started including more fresh food in her daughter’s diet in the hope that the elimination of processed food in favour of fresh food would build up her daughter’s immune system. She believes that eating fresh, healthy foods strengthens the immune system and

But Kelly did much more than this. After her daughter’s first episode with PANDAS, she tried to research about the disorder but found nothing about it from Canadian sources. All the information that was available was coming from the United States. So she created a website (http:// pandascanada.wix.com/pandascanada) that provides some basic awareness information about PANDAS. She hopes eventually, with fundraising, that she will be able to grab the web address PANDASCanada.org but that is a goal for the future. She also started a Facebook page on which she is now getting parents asking her for help as they cannot find anywhere to turn to for information about PANDAS. Kelly has also founded PANDAS Canada which she hopes will grow into a widespread organization. Right now, as she herself says, “I’m just a one man show.” She hopes eventually to acquire non-profit status for the organization but this requires both time and money to set up. She says that she now has adults emailing her who wonder if PANDAS is what they suffered from in their earlier years rather than an obsessive compulsive mental disorder. Kelly will also be attending a con-

ference about PANDAS in Rhode Island in November. She recently raffled off gift baskets at Stittsville Sobeys and at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, setting up a display table at both stores on ensuing weekends. She also used it as an occasion to spread awareness about PANDAS. A number of people stopped and talked to her about PANDAS, especially nurses. She also handed out cards outlining the symptoms associated with PANDAS. At the conference in Rhode Island, Kelly hopes to network with others concerned about the disorder. She will also be hearing about the preliminary results of a major United States study about PANDAS. Kelly also has a proposal that she hopes to make to the Toronto Zoo where some giant pandas, that bear with large distinctive black patches around its eyes, over its ears and across its body that is native to south central China, are currently residing. Kelly hopes that a partnership might be formed tying the great interest in these panda bears into an awareness and perhaps fundraising campaign about PANDAS, this mental disorder. Kelly is also trying to create a PANDAS Awareness Day in the province, working through the of-

fice of Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren. This requires legislation which hopefully may be in place for 2014. Already Oct. 9 is PANDAS Awareness Day in the United States. She is also working through city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri’s office to have Oct. 9 next year declared as PANDAS Awareness Day in the city of Ottawa. The request has now been forwarded to the city’s Medical Officer of Health for a recommendation. She is also hoping to get CHEO and The Royal on board in supporting such a PANDAS Awareness Day which on Oct. 9 would happen during Mental Health Awareness Week. Kelly also was interviewed on the CBC national radio show “Quirks & Quarks” with Bob McDonald on Saturday, Oct. 5, where she told the story of her daughter’s sudden exposure to PANDAS. This came about after she had read a magazine article about PANDAS and emailed the author to thank her for the article. The author was involved in the Quirks & Quarks story about PANDAS and one thing led to another and Kelly was interviewed on the show. It was just a case of networking that paid off with national radio exposure. During a PANDAS episode, a child will experience the sudden onset of obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms which will include obsessions and compulsions. There may also be motor or vocal tics present. A PANDAS diagnosis, though, can only be made if the symptoms can be linked to a strep infection. The child affected is normally between the age of three and puberty. Possible PANDAS symptoms include the sudden onset of obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms, a sudden development of a nervous system disorder including tics, sudden unexplainable rages, anorexia because of a fear of choking, immature behaviours such as “baby talk,” severe separation anxiety, a noticeable decrease in handwriting, math or visual spatial skills, frequent urination and the abrupt onset of depression.

These information and support evenings will take place at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata where the first such information and support evening hosted by The Oasis in Kanata was held on Monday, Sept. 23 with about 50 people in attendance. At this initial session, Cynthia Clark, a caregiver and also a facilitator of the provincewide “Strengthening Families Program,” gave her perspectives on dealing with the mental health system and with the stigma associated with mental health. Those at this initial session also heard a young man describe his experience with mental illness and how his family’s support led to his recovery. In addition, Colleen MacPhee described the Ottawa Hospital’s mental health crisis line and the operation of its mobile crisis team. Cathy Lawrey told about the services for caregivers available from

the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. “The large turnout and the fact that nearly three dozen audience members offered positive written feedback shows we’re on the right track in setting up a service for caregivers,” said Shirley Bishop, chair of The Oasis in Kanata steering committee and its coordinator of volunteers, following the session. The Oasis in Kanata is planning more information and support sessions in the future on topics such as tax breaks and legal issues for caregivers, strengthening families and suicide prevention.

9 RUN RUN looking for volunteers Special to the News

With special guest:

THE DEVIN CUDDY BAND

News - Volunteers are needed to monitor the trafďŹ c barricades being established at road closures for this Saturday’s 9 RUN RUN event in Stittsville. Right now there are not enough volunteers to look after all of the barricades along the route. Anyone over the age of 15 is welcome to sign up for this volunteer job. For high school students, this can count towards your volunteer community service hours. The work involves setting up the barricade and looking after it for the time that it is in place as the runners go by. There ideally will be two people at each barricade location. These volunteers are to ensure that no vehicles access the run route during the run. This is a critical safety issue.

SVA wants volunteers for Parade of Lights John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Friday, February 14 Canadian Tire Centre

News - Volunteers are needed for Stittsville’s Christmas Parade of Lights. The city of Ottawa requires that the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), organizer of this annual Parade of Lights along Stittsville Main Street, station volunteers at every blocked off side street and major commercial parking lot entrance along the parade route. These volunteers are to ensure that the barricades keeping trafďŹ c off Stittsville Main Street at parade time are respected by motorists. To do this, the SVA requires an army of volunteers. But so far, only three volunteers have come forward and this is far, far less than the number needed. The danger is that, if enough volunteers do not come forward, the parade could very likely be cancelled – it is that serious an issue.

And being a volunteer at these barricades is not that bad. In fact, it has the advantage that it provides the volunteers with a great viewing spot for the parade – right there along the route, with a clear view. In addition, it is an opportunity for those with high school aged children to do something together with them with the added bonus that the students will receive credit for volunteer hours, something needed to graduate. Volunteers looking after these barricades are provided with a safety vest by the SVA to ensure their protection and safety and also to identify them as persons of authority. The Christmas Parade of Lights will be taking place on Saturday, Nov. 30 at 6 p.m. this year. The SVA already has received commitments and/or expressions of interest from a number of oat entries. It is expected that this year’s Parade of Lights will be as

The parade route runs along Stittsville Main Street, starting at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot parking lot and moving southward along the street, through the Stittsville Main Street/Abbott Street intersection where there is always a public address commentary about the oats and on to the Carleton Cathcart Street intersection where the parade ends.

News - It’s a four-part series that will help in dealing with conict, hatred and discrimination in our lives. And it’s happening right here in Stittsville at the Community Bible Church. This four-part series will take place on Sundays, Oct. 20, 27, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 at 9 a.m. and again at 10:45 a.m. at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend, especially anyone who has suffered because of hatred or discrimination and wants to know the best way to respond to such behaviour. The Community Bible Church will be addressing these concerns by looking at the origins of the conict in the Middle East and what’s happening there today on the ground. The series will also deal with the spiritual feel-

ing of hope that is spreading across the Middle East today but mostly beneath the view of political leaders and the media. This series will not provide all of the answers but it may lead to a feeling of hope and forgiveness. The ongoing conict in the Middle East leaves many asking “Why can’t we all just get along!â€? Yet there is death and destruction in the news and people wonder why the ďŹ ghting and violence continues. But then such conict exists all around everyone, albeit in a much smaller scale. How to deal with this constructively is the challenge which this four-part series at the Community Bible Church will be addressing. Everyone is welcome to attend this four-part weekly series taking place at the Community Bible Church in Stittsville beginning on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Student Taylor Burgoyne having fun at co-op placement John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 11 student Taylor Burgoyne is having a lot of fun at her co-op work placement. An artist herself, she is spending this fall’s co-op placement at Walkerworks Picture Framing at the corner of Beverly Street and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. And she is loving it as she is getting to help design and then frame artwork there. She marvels at the degree of perfection which is demanded at Walkerworks. She says that the framing has to be assembled perfectly and if there is even one little dent in the frame, the piece is replaced. “It has to be perfect,” Taylor says. She appreciates that a framing shop like Walkerworks performs an important function for an artist, creating a place in which art can be saved forever. There are lots of decisions to be made, such as the matting to be used and the style and colour of the frame. “It’s such a cool process,” she says, admitting that she did not think much about it

before but has discovered that it is a huge process but also a lot of fun. She is thrilled that Walkerworks owners Amy and Jim Walker give her lots of input on her work and she finds it exciting when they like what she has suggested. As far as her own art goes, she admits that she is always carrying around a sketch book with a pencil placed behind her ear, ready to sketch an appropriate scene, object or person. She says that her art is wide ranging, extending from abstract to landscapes to portraits done for friends on their birthdays. She has even sold some of her art, finding it awesome that people are willing to pay for something that she simply does for fun. She uses charcoal pencil, acrylics, oils and even pastels in her art. Sometimes she uses watercolours but not often because she finds the colours done with watercolours are too pale for her liking which favours bright colours. Taylor says that she has been involved with art since her earliest years, saying that she was drawing flowers when she was four years old. And she says that no matter what

career she pursues in life, she will always want her life to involve art in some way. This semester at Sacred Heart, Taylor, who is 15, is working with some of the school’s high needs students in their dance class. She has found this to be not only an “eye opening” experience but also an enjoyable one that leaves her with such a good feeling. And she can’t get over the fact that she is getting a course credit to literally “hang out with four spectacular kids” who are always in a happy mood. She admits that she herself is not a good dancer but says that the special needs students encourage her and she dances along with them in the class. “They are like four of my best friends now,” she says about these special needs students. Taylor may not be that good a dancer in her opinion but she is good at cheerleading as she is a competitive cheerleader with Cheer Sport Sharks in Stittsville. A member of the highest level team this year, she has in the past travelled to cheerleading competitions in such places as Niagara Falls and Myrtle Beach.

Taylor Burgoyne She enjoys the atmosphere at the Cheer Sport Sharks gym where she says that it is like being surrounded by a huge family with everyone upbeat and happy. She gets excited by being able to throw a teammate up in the air in a cheerleading routine and that teammate trusts her fellow cheerleaders to catch her properly as she comes back down to earth. But Taylor admits that she is not one of these high flying cheerleaders – she says that she does not leave the ground in her cheerleading efforts.

She says that cheerleading is rough on the body, as she has suffered a back injury in cheerleading and just recently she has incurred an ankle injury. She also serves as a coach at Cheer Sport Sharks, coaching nine year olds. Taylor also has a Tumblr blog which caters to youth with mental health issues who are looking for advice. She has received over 6,000 messages on her blog over the past four years, coming from all over the world. She has about 20,000 followers now, making it one of the more popular Tumblr blogs. She plans to continue with this blog for as long as others are benefitting from it. It is geared to youth aged 11 to 22 and is focused on those with challenges like depression or eating disorders. Some use the blog daily for several weeks and then a few months later, Taylor may get a message thanking her for having the blog, as the youth has overcome whatever challenge was being faced. Taylor says that there are not too many web places like her blog and she admits that some of the communication that she receives on it is heartbreak-

ing. She admits that it takes a lot for some of these youth to stand their ground and overcome their challenges. “It’s so worthwhile,” she says about her blog. Taylor has a part-time job at McDonalds which adds to her busy life. Her family has two dogs, one of which, a chocolate lab who weighs about 100 pounds now, is a dog whom Taylor has taken care of since being a puppy. She regularly walks this dog and indeed calls him “my best friend in the whole world.” The other family dog is a Yorkie/Poodle mix. Taylor says that she likes to sing, albeit just in the shower. She has tried to play a musical instrument but can’t seem to master one. She can play “Happy Birthday” on the piano. She says that she has always been an avid reader, admitting that her room at home looks like a library with so many books in it. She particularly likes mystery horror thrillers. Although Taylor has not yet made a firm decision, she is leaning towards a future career as an art therapist or as a resource teacher for special needs children.

WE HAVE THE LARGEST SELECTION OF MEN’S CASUAL & DRESS SHIRTS IN THE OTTAWA VALLEY. Always 1000+ on display

Accomplishments abound at OSU banquet Wilkinson was the keynote speaker at the banquet marking the end of OSU’s 10th anniversary season. It was an ideal way to set the stage for the next 10 years as the club continues to push to new and greater heights, highlighted OSU President Bill Michalopulos. “The next great achievement would be for one of our boys or girls to be part of Canada’s national team,” Michalopulos signaled. “I’ll predict that we’ll achieve that in the next 10 years, no problem.” It may not take nearly that long. OSU U15 girls’ player Alexis Martel-Lamothe participated in a national prospects camp from Aug. 23-Sept. 1 in Burnaby, B.C., and is part of the selection pool for the Canadian U17 team that will play in October’s CONCACAF Women’s U-17 Championship in Jamaica. Martel-Lamothe was just one of the individuals recognized in what was an outstanding 2013 season for OSU. Other highlights included five OSU gold medal-winning players at the national all-star championships, and winning the Ottawa region’s first Ontario Cup girls’ and Ontario Youth Soccer League boys’ championships. “It’s a club with tremendous passion and tremendous vision,” observed Ontario Soccer Association President Ron Smale, another distinguished guest at the banquet along with Osgoode Ward City Councillor Doug Thompson. “If each of us embrace it, we’ll take this game to the next level.” OSU also saluted its numerous league-champion teams, players moving on to professional academies and university soccer, and presented awards to volunteers, referees, players and teams (see below for more details). The list of accomplishments is long and deserves to be celebrated, but there’s a greater purpose behind the drive to be successful, much like Wilkinson’s journey to the top, Michalopulos noted. “It acts as motivation for our young girls and boys to maximize their abilities and potential in soccer,” he explained, thanking the many people involved for their tireless efforts. “That’s why we’re doing it, the #1 reason.” 2013 OSU Banquet Honourees Graduating players moving on to universities/colleges Helen Jazzar & Brittany Burns (Ursuline University in Ohio) Walker Smith, Alex DeCouvreur, Samantha Paisley & Lauren Williams (Carleton University) Stephen Veenema (Guelph University) Dylan Lawrence, Courtney Auer-Weatherall (St. Francis-Xavier University) Annika Littlemore, Alyssa Rimac (University of Ottawa) Rachel Radu, Shannon Harvey (Queen’s University) Marco Natoli (Algonquin College) Players moving on to professional soccer club academies Zoom Langwa (Toronto FC) Abdou Samake (Montreal Impact) Kris Twardek (Millwall FC, London, UK) Team Ontario national all-star championships gold medalists Alexis Martel-Lamothe, Anna Munro, Jeremy Arnold, Vana Markarian, Dante Cobisa League champions OSU Force U16 Boys L1 OYSL OSU Force Black 2001 U13 Girls L4 OSU Force Black 2001 U12 Boys T1 OSU Force Black U13 Boys L3 OSU Force U17 Girls L3 OSU Force Black U12 Boys T2 OSU Force Black U13 Girls L3

Work harder than everyone else and your dreams can come true. That was the message Canadian women’s national team player Rhian Wilkinson gave the next generation of stars-in-the-making at Ottawa South United Soccer Club’s year-end banquet. The 31-year-old shared the story of her path to an Olympic medal, which included getting cut the first time she tried out for a ‘AAA’ soccer team when she was young. “It was the first day I realized I was pretty competitive,” Wilkinson told the audience of almost 500 at the Centurion Conference & Event Center. “There was no way I was going to allow that coach to have the last say in my soccer career.” The Montreal native did make the ‘AAA’ team the next year, but still had several more hurdles to clear before representing Canada. Wilkinson was invited to youth national team camps, but never made the grade. The former University of Tennessee student at last made her international debut against the powerful U.S. team, chasing around Mia Hamm and co. in a 6-2 drubbing. In the years that followed, the Canadians narrowed the gap, and very nearly beat the Americans in the London 2012 Olympic semi-final, which included some infamous officiating. “It really was one of the worst days of my life,” Wilkinson described. “We cried, as a team, everyone on their own, for 24 hours.” Before the bronze medal match the next day, captain Christine Sinclair told her teammates how proud she was of their efforts, reminded them they’d given everything they had, and that there was still an opportunity to win bronze. “We had absolutely nothing left emotionally and physically, but we were fighting for one another,”Wilkinson said of the third-place contest. “France was better than us, but they did not work harder than us.” And then in the 92nd minute, the reward for those efforts came with Diana Matheson’s goal and a 1-0 Canadian victory. “Now I’m the proud owner of the Olympic bronze medal,” smiled Wilkinson, displaying her prize to a lengthy round of applause and cheers. “I still have to pinch myself... I can’t believe my dream came true.”The Team Canada idol left her young onlookers with one main piece of advice. “Find your passion,” implored Wilkinson, who’s now set her sights on the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, to be played on home soil. “For some of you here, it may be soccer. For others, it may be nursing. Or it could be accounting – to each their own,” she added. “Whatever it is, find your passion. Because whatever it is, it’s going to require a lot of hard work. That’s the key.”

Sacred Heart’s Anna Ploeg is a survivor who is giving back John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Anna Ploeg is a survivor. The 16 year old grade 11 Sacred Heart Catholic High School student beat cancer when she was three years old when she had neuroblastoma cancer affecting her kidney. Removal of a tumour on the kidney led to her recovery. Ever since then, Anna and her whole family have been passionate about the Canadian Cancer Society and have regularly walked together in the Society’s fundraising Relay for Life events. Last year, though, Anna decided to participate in the Relay for Life event in Kanata with a group of fellow students. The ten students raised over $3,000, walking under the group name “Tumour Troopers,â€? dressed in camouage clothing to represent ďŹ ghting back against tumours and cancer. Anna now wants to organize a Relay for Life event at Sacred Heart which she acknowledges would be a huge undertaking. This year about 50 Sacred Heart students are going to help with a Relay for Life event at another school to learn how the organization of such an event works. It’s a matter of taking “a baby stepâ€? ďŹ rst and

learning how to successfully run such a Relay for Life event before attempting to have one at Sacred Heart next year if all goes well with this year’s experience. Anna spends time as a volunteer at the Granite Ridge long term care facility in Stittsville, something that she has done since being in grade nine. She originally started to do this to collect the 40 volunteer hours that she needs to graduate but she has far exceeded that number as she continues to volunteer there once a week. Her volunteer duties vary from helping ladies paint their nails to taking a resident for a walk. She volunteered there all through last summer and she plans to remain there as a volunteer until she graduates from high school. “I like spending time with them,â€? is how she explains her desire to volunteer at this seniors facility. Anna has done some travelling as her mother’s work is associated with the airline industry. She has visited Hawaii as well as places throughout Canada and the United States. In addition, she visits Italy every other summer where her great grandmother still lives in a little village there. She admits that she does not speak much Italian but she ďŹ nds that French, which she speaks well, helps in communica-

tion there since French and Italian are somewhat similar. Anna hopes to travel even more in the future. She attended Sacred Heart’s leadership camp last year, ďŹ nding it a great experience. What really amazed her was that the camp was all student run. She congratulates her school for providing the opportunity for students like her to attend an activity like this leadership camp. Anna likes to run and is currently training for an upcoming high school cross country run. She ran cross country back in grade eight and is anxious to get back involved in such running. She also plays soccer in the summer and, now that fall has arrived, she plays Futsal which is an indoor form of soccer which is played with only ďŹ ve players on each team. She started playing soccer about four years ago because all of her friends were involved in the sport. She calls herself a team player who usually passes the ball and who does a lot of running in a game. Anna has a part-time job at the Giant Tiger store in Stittsville, admitting that she loves her job.

Rotary Club wants to set up Peace Park John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville wants to establish a Peace Park in Stittsville. And the Stittsville Village Association has offered its support in principle for the concept. The Rotary Club is hopeful that this SVA support will be the first of many from Stittsville community groups, organizations and businesses as it works at realizing this vision of a Rotary peace Park in Stittsville, a vision first developed in 2006 and subsequently revised and rejuvenated. There is no Rotary Peace Park in the city of Ottawa at present. Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville members Valerie Wright and Carolyn Clark, along with Theresa Qadri who is not only a Rotary Club member and past president but also is on the SVA executive, presented the Club’s vision for a Rotary Peace Park in Stittsville to the SVA executive at its meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Ms. Wright explained that the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park was created on the Montana/Alberta border in 1932, initiated by a petition from Rotary International and local Rotary Clubs in that area. This is now one of 138 such International Peace Parks created on borders on five continents. In addition, Rotary Peace Parks developed by Rotary Clubs can be found across

Canada with some 400 cities and towns having a peace park in some form. Peace parks can be something very small or something very big, Ms. Wright said. She said that the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville would hope to start with creation of a labyrinth at the site, a feature that is meant to calm people and help them meditate. She said that a Stittsville peace park site should have room for a labyrinth and a treed area in which people could walk. Ms. Wright said that a peace park is meant not only to promote peace but also to create peace in people, providing a quite place to walk. She referred to a peace park as a “peaceful space open to all.” She said that the Club is not in the position currently to recommend any particular site for a peace park in Stittsville but said that the Club would like to start on the project in the coming year. She said that such a peace park could attract tourists and could include plantings beside pathways, sculpture, memorials, a friendship bench on which to resolve conflicts, and appropriate signage. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is hoping to pursue a grant under the city’s Better Neighbourhoods Program which could provide a grant anywhere from $5,000 to $30,000 to support the project.

Snowsuit Fund campaign is underway Kristyn Cooke

Special to the News

News – Tuesday, Oct. 15 began a two week campaign to provide winter clothing for children. This Snowsuit Fund campaign is being held at Sacred Heart Catholic High School and at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, both in Stittsville.

In the campaign, gently used or new snowsuits, hats, mitts, scarves and boots will be collected. When you are digging out your own winter clothes for the coming cold weather, take a second to notice any unneeded clothing and consider donating it to this campaign. This Snowsuit Fund campaign is an opportunity for the community to

give winter clothing to children in need. This clothing will keep them safely warm throughout the coming snowy winter. Hundreds of children in the Ottawa area do not have the luxury of having warm, protective clothing for the winter months. This Snowsuit Fund campaign can change this. Let’s make sure that every child who

wants to play outside with friends and perhaps build a snowman gets a chance to do so this winter by having the warm winter clothing that is needed. Snowsuit and winter clothing donations like hats, mitts, scarves and boots can be dropped by the chapel in the foyer at Sacred Heart Catholic High School or at the bin located at

the entrance of Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road. One Sacred Heart student is buying a brand new snowsuit to donate to the campaign and is challenging all others to do the same. By being generous and working together, this can be the best fundraising and winter clothing year ever for the Snowsuit Fund. (Kristyn Cooke is a grade 11 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville)

Couple has litany of concerns about oil pipeline John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A Stittsville couple brought their concerns about the proposed Energy East pipeline proposal to the October executive meeting of the Stittsville Village Association on Wednesday, Oct. 9. Tinda Sebe-Sikaneta and her husband Ish Sikaneta expressed a litany of concerns about the proposed oil pipeline which will run just west of Stittsville. Ms. Sebe-Sikaneta said that she became concerned about the project after attending a recent meeting about the proposal hosted by the Council of Canadians and Ecology Ottawa at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. She admitted that she left that meeting feeling confused and now, after delving into the matter more, she has numerous concerns. She told the SVA executive that the pipeline which is now a natural gas pipeline but will be converted to an oil carrying pipeline is an old line built to transport natural gas at lower pressure. She wondered if the existing pipeline was going to be converted as is or if it would be strengthened for the transport of the oil. “We know that pipelines spill,” she said. “It is just a matter of where and when.” She noted that there have been spills from oil pipelines in Alberta over the years and that a Keystone pipeline converted from natural gas to carry oil had numerous spills in its first year of operation. Ms. Sebe-Sikaneta also expressed concerns with the National Energy Board’s role in regulating and monitoring pipelines in Canada, saying that the Board’s monitoring falls short as it does not follow up on violations. “The bottom line as we see it, we’ll have to rely on TransCanada to monitor its own line,” she said, pointing to the case of a TransCanada

engineer who was fired when he raised concerns about TransCanada’s welding practices in pipeline construction, using what he claimed were untrained welders. Her husband Ish noted that TransCanada has asked for and received in the past numerous exceptions from the regulation that an independent contractor be hired to review the welding work on pipelines during construction. Ms. Sebe-Sikaneta pointed to a spill of bitumen, the same oil as will be transported through this proposed Energy East pipeline, in Kalamazoo, Michigan which has cost one billion dollars to date to clean up and is still in the clean up stage. Ish noted that bitumen sinks in water and thus is difficult to clean up. Ms. Sebe-Sikaneta suggested that perhaps an emergency pipeline response team will need to be set up in the city of Ottawa if this project goes ahead, just like as has happened in Hamilton where such a group has been established due to pipeline concerns. She also pointed out that natural gas suppliers are concerned that eliminating one of the two natural gas pipelines currently running through the existing right-of-way and converting one of them to an oil pipeline will affect the supply and price of natural gas in this area in the future. Ms. Sebe-Sikaneta noted that this Energy East oil pipeline proposal is TransCanada’s “plan B” since the proposed Keystone pipeline to the southern United States has been delayed and the Northern Gateway pipeline through British Columbia is not progressing. As a result, the easiest thing for TransCanada to do is to use a route that uses an existing right-of-way to transport oil to the East Coast and possible export to foreign markets. By all accounts, this pipeline is export driven, she said, noting that there is interest in both China and India for the oil. She said that TransCanada has to move bitu-

men out of Alberta soon and so any pipeline has to be operational quickly. This is why TransCanada is using an existing right-of-way and pipeline while keeping its fingers crossing that nothing catastrophic happens, she said. Ms. Sebe-Sikaneta said that she and her husband and their three young children moved to Stittsville from downtown and have now found themselves faced not only with a new landfill on the horizon but also now an oil pipeline running past Stittsville.

Anna Ploeg has passion for clothing Continued from page 39

She is an honour roll student at Sacred Heart. This semester she is taking an ancient history class that she is really enjoying, learning about ancient Egypt, a situation that she says “intrigues” her. She may change her mind but right now she is hoping to attend Queens University in Kingston in a Commerce program with a view to entering the business world. Last year she took an introduction to business course at Sacred Heart and this really developed her interest in things business. She does not yet know if she would pursue being an accountant or an economist but such a decision would come later in her university years. She is taking a university-level math course this year at Sacred Heart as she gears her learn-

ing towards this Commerce program. Anna’s great love, indeed an admitted passion, is clothing. She loves to put outfits together and to “express myself through my clothes.” She says that she receives a lot of compliments about her clothing, admitting that she likes to dress differently in terms of not paying attention to any trends. She dresses in “what I feel comfortable in,” she says, noting that she is constantly trying out something different related to her clothing. This interest in clothing, of course, means that she likes to shop, saying that this is one of the reasons why she has a part-time job. Anna loves to listen to music and this past summer she attended a number of local music festivals. She says that she has a pretty wide range of musical preferences.

She said that people in both the United States and British Columbia are saying no to such a pipeline and so she wants to know that people here are safe from this “plan B” pipeline. Are x-rays good enough to ensure the integrity of the welds on the pipeline, she wondered, expressing concerns about TransCanada pushing bitumen through such a pipeline and also expressing concerns about the lax National Energy Board regulatory framework that exists about such pipelines.

SVA hears concerns about proposed development John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There’s a public meeting coming up on Monday, Oct. 28 about a development proposal in the Elm Crescent/Porter Street/Fernbank Road area of Stittsville but ahead of this, several residents of the area appeared at the October executive meeting of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) on Wednesday, Oct. 9 to present their concerns about the proposed development. These concerns ranged from future flooding to the loss of a wetland to the density of the proposed development to traffic flow and volume to the elevation of the new homes. Diana Trudeau, a Porter Street resident whose homes is adjacent to the proposed development area, noted that the development will result in the loss of 15,000 to 20,000 cubic metres of wetland water storage, causing the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA) to have several serious concerns about

the proposed development. Ms. Trudeau suggested that if this development were to be approved, the result could be another flooding disaster such as has happened in the Glen Cairn area of Kanata in recent years where basements have been flooded due to drainage constraints. She said that historically there have been water issues in that area, with most adjacent residents having sump pumps, some of which operate all year round to deal with the water issues. She said that this year the area around the foundation of her home was dug up for new drainage work because of the water in the area. Elm Crescent resident Keldine FitzGerald said that the area is a natural wetland, virtually the last piece of such an environmental feature in Stittsville. She noted that water on the site is at times 18 inches deep, adding that the area looks like Environmental Protection Area (EPA) land and that this is what it should be designated. She said that the city is

missing control over this area which she said is a vital area where water collects. She said that having lived in the area for over 30 years, she cannot see how the spring runoff will be handled if the development is allowed. The proposal calls for 140 housing units on the 6.8 hectare site. Based on one and a half vehicles on average per house, this means 200 vehicles coming and going from the site every day, all using just the one proposed entrance/exit onto Elm Crescent, Ms. Trudeau pointed out. There is some possibility of an entrance/exit onto Fernbank Road but such a street would not line up totally with the existing Etta Street and thus the city’s transportation staff would not favour such an offset intersection. It might also result in more traffic on Etta Street as well as increased traffic on Fernbank Road where there are already concerns about safety. Ms. Trudeau noted that Porter Street cannot be used to access the

Haunting Season in 2013 Special to the News

News - Saunders Farm at Munster is now at its most “eek-citing” best with Haunting Season in full swing until Halloween on Thursday, Oct. 31.

The Haunted Hayride and Barn of Terror both have new features to provide more thrills and scares than ever before for these Haunting Season favourites. The Ghost Town Stage features a tribute to

site because there will be a ten foot retaining wall at the end of the current Porter Street since the development site has to be built up that much so that houses can be built there. With the houses possibly being 11 metres high on top of this difference in the height of the land, “these houses will be towering 14 metres over the existing development,” Ms. Trudeau said. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was present at the SVA meeting, acknowledged that a city of Ottawa biologist has noted that there are many environmental constraints to developing this particular site. Councillor Qadri said that he himself has concerns about the proposed density, about drainage, about vehicle access and about the height difference. He said that he will wait to see how city planning staff address these concerns in a report on the proposed development before making up his mind on these issues. He suggested that the developer

And when you get hungry, there’s always the new Farmers Table walk-up restaurant featuring Saunders Farm’s new state-of-the-art kitchen, providing delicious food served quickly. Haunting Season at Saunders Farm, which

could take the city to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) if the development is reduced in size. Ms. FitzGerald responded that if the proposed development gains the city’s approval, then the community will probably appeal the matter to the OMB “because we feel very passionate about this.” She lamented the situation where the OMB listens to “experts” rather than 30 year residents of an area. The city of Ottawa is hosting a public meeting about this development proposal on Monday, Oct. 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. It will deal with the proposed zoning change to allow for increased density on the site. It is also expected that the proposed development plan will be discussed. This is a required public meeting that must take place before the issue goes to Ottawa city council’s planning committee and ultimately Ottawa city council for a decision.

began on Saturday, Sept. 28, runs through to Thursday, Oct. 31, Halloween. For Haunting Season, Saunders Farm is open weekends – Friday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.; ?Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.; and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. During Halloween week (Oct. 28-Oct. 31), Saunders Farm will be open nightly from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

$2,929.71 from golfers goes to fight measles John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

A giant cheque for $2,929.71, proceeds from the recent District Governor’s Golf Tournament at the Canadian Golf and Country Club which was organized by the Stittsville District Lions Club with the funds going to the “One Shot…One Life” prevention of measles initiative are, from left, Stittsville Lion Paul Riddell, who chaired the organizing committee; Past District A4 Governor John Chilvers, who made the measles prevention campaign his Lions charity of choice during his term as Governor, who accepted the donation from the golf tournament; Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis; and Stittsville Lion Don Redtman.

News - Lions Club members from across the district saved lives by playing golf. Yes, that’s right – lives are being saved because Lions Club members, 92 in total, played in the recent District Governor’s Golf Tournament at the Canadian Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville, organized by the Stittsville District Lions Club. And these lives are being saved because the proceeds from the tournament are going to the Lions “One Shot, One Life” measles vaccination program which is trying to eradicate this disease which not only is a killer of people but also causes blindness in other cases. A total of $2,929.71 was raised at the Sept. 16th District Governor’s Golf Tournament, with the proceeds turned over by the Stittsville District Lions Club organizers to Past District Governor John Chilvers at the Club’s meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 9 at the Lions Hall in Stittsville. These funds will now be matched by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Past District Governor Chilvers said that for his term as District Governor, he set raising money for the Lions “One Shot, One Life” measles vaccination program as a goal. All donations received when he visited the various Lions Clubs in the area during his year as District Governor, some $5,800, are going to this “One Shot, One Life” program, as are the proceeds from the recent golf tournament. Past District Governor Chilvers said that he selected the “One Shot, One Life” program as the fundraising program for his term as District Governor after the Lions International President had set literacy and the eradication of measles as the goals for his term as President.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The air in the kitchen hung heavy with the sweet smell of chili sauce. The blue granite pot simmered on the back of the Findlay Oval and every few minutes Mother would take the big wood spoon and stir the chili sauce, sending out more serious smells. Jars of every size had already been washed and boiled and were now upside down on a clean flour bag tea towel spread out on the bake table. Hopefully, by supper time, the chili sauce would be ready to be put in jars and there would be an ample supply left over to slather on our plates. When it had all been bottled and the lids screwed on as tight as they would go, it was my sister Audrey’s job to carry the jars outside and down to the dug-out under the house, which served as our cellar. The two doors that rested flat against the outside of the house on a tilt were heavy and hard to open and so I was spared from this chore, for which I was eternally grateful. I hated going down under the house and into the dank, dark hole that held our vegetables in a sand pit and from swinging shelves could be found preserves and pickles of every description. The shelves, suspended by two chains from the bottom of the house, were to ensure the mice or any other vermin looking for a dark warm home would be unable to get at the preserves. Mother lined the shelves with folded copies of the Renfrew Mercury for further protection. Before Grandfather bought Mother a Barnett ice box, even our butter and milk were kept on the swinging shelves. And so the many bottles of chili sauce would soon join the newly jarred preserves and pickles Mother had made from an ample garden that year. If we liked chili sauce, we had an uncle who liked it even more so, if that was possible. Uncle Johnny DeGray lived in Ottawa, but he and Aunt Vanetta often drove out to Northcote, a trip Father often said would be the last for the old car that seemed to be hung together with binder twine and hairpins. In a failed attempt to make the car look presentable, Uncle Johnny had painted the four fenders, none of which matched in size or shape, a deep red. He said he did that because he lived next door to No. 2 Fire Station on Lyon Street and he always loved the red fire engines,

Uncle Johnny loved Mother’s chili sauce

and was fast friends with all the firemen. On a summer evening, Uncle Johnny would join them in the driveway of the station, sitting on straight-back kitchen chairs, telling off-colour jokes and slapping their knees in gaiety. When Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta came to visit, it was always an overnight trip from Ottawa. The couple was as different as night from day. Aunt Vanetta tiny with snow white hair, and dressed as neat as a pin, and Uncle Johnny was tall and lanky, with a shiny pink head, completely devoid of hair, except for a small fringe around the back of his neck. He was boisterous and loud and when he laughed, which was often, you had to laugh with him, even if you didn’t know what the joke was all about. Uncle Johnny worked for the city of Ottawa, driving a monstrous black steam roller, which he named Babe. How he loved to eat when he came to the farm. He would go to the smoke house and personally pick the roast of ham or the long link of sausages he would like for a meal, which Mother thought was perfectly alright with her. She cooked up whatever he chose and of course the table was laden with heaping bowls of potatoes, at least two different vegetables and plates of freshly-baked bread. Without even asking, Mother knew that Uncle Johnny would scan the table and if it wasn’t already there, he would say, “don’t forget the chili sauce, Mabel.” Uncle Johnny would load his plate like it was his last meal on earth and then he would reach for the chili sauce, just about emptying the bowl. If that wasn’t enough, when his plate had been wiped clean, he would lay out two slices of heavily buttered bread, and cover them with more chili sauce wiping the bowl clean with a corner of the bread. And when it was time for Uncle Johnny and Aunt Vanetta to head back to Ottawa, Mother would have tucked into the back of the old car a couple of freshly plucked chickens, vegetables from the cellar, and always two or three jars of chili sauce. Uncle Johnny would take the old car robe in the back seat and wrap the chili sauce jars tight so that they wouldn’t come to some bad fate on the way back to Ottawa. Heaven forbid that the jars would smash together and break and he would lose his precious cargo. For Uncle Johnny, the chili sauce was worth the two day trip from Ottawa.

Lions are fighting measles through vaccination Continued from page 48

Taking a lead from the President’s vision, Lion Chilvers, elected as District Governor, decided to adopt the “One shot, One Life” measles vaccination program as his project of choice during his term. He notes that Lions Clubs have always included service to the blind as one of their primary goals and since measles causes blindness in many people, an anti-measles program fits in well with the Lions longstanding commitment to battle vision impairment issues. Past District Governor Chilvers, who is a member of the Greely Lions Club, praised the Stittsville District Lions Club and in particular tournament chair Lion Paul Riddell for doing a fantastic job in organizing this year’s District Governor’s tournament at the Canadian Golf and Country Club which attracted 92 golfers from a variety of Lions Clubs in the District. He said that the Stittsville District Lions Club has set the bar high for all future such tournaments. Measles, a highly infectious disease, kills

an estimated 430 people every day, mostly in developing countries. The goal of the Lions initiative is to increase access to immunization against measles in the world’s poorest countries. Past District Governor Chilvers said that it costs 57 cents a shot to vaccinate a person against measles. He said that the Lions program vaccinates both adults and children, with adults receiving vaccination to ensure that measles is not passed on by hereditary means. It is estimated that measles kills about 160,000 people in the world annually, mostly children under the age of five. A single shot of the measles vaccine can prevent the disease. Measles kills by weakening a child’s immune system, making them vulnerable to pneumonia, blindness, diarrhea and encephalitis. According to the World Health Organization, measles deaths have been reduced by 71 percent since 2001. By 2020, thanks to vaccination, more than 700 million children in 49 countries are expected to be immunized against measles. Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, October 17, 2013 49

Beef bulgogi is classic Turkey dinner coming at St. Andrew’s Korean comfort food Special to the News

Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Lifestyle - This classic Korean comfort food, beef bulgogi, uses the thinnest slices of marinated beef for flash-in-the pan stir-fry with crisp, vibrantly coloured veggies. Just be careful to keep the meat tender by cooking to medium doneness. Serve with rice, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds if desired. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Marinating time: four hours or up to overnight. Serves four. Ingredients * 750 g (1-1/2 lb) beef flank marinating steak * 25 ml (2 tbsp) rice vinegar * 2 green onions, thinly sliced * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 50 ml (1/4 cup) soy sauce * 15 ml (1 tbsp) finely minced fresh gingerroot * 15 ml (1 tbsp) sesame oil * 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch * 15 ml (1 tbsp) dark brown sugar * 15 ml (1 tbsp) vegetable oil * 1 large carrot, sliced * 500 ml (2 cups) chopped broccoli * 1/2 red pepper, finely chopped * 1 red onion, thinly sliced

* 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) sliced mushrooms, such as white button, cremini or shiitake Preparation Using a sharp knife, slice the beef against the grain into thin, angled slices and set them aside. In a medium bowl, combine the rice vinegar, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, ginger and sesame seed oil. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and brown sugar and then blend it evenly into the soy mixture. Toss the beef slices with the marinade to coat evenly. Refrigerate the beef for at least four hours or, preferably, overnight. In a large, heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and distributing it in the pan in single layer (or cook it in two batches to avoid crowding). Turn the heat up to high and cook, stirring occasionally, for two to three minutes or until it is beginning to brown. Remove the meat and set aside. In the same skillet, cook the carrot, broccoli, red pepper, red onion and mushrooms for five minutes, stirring constantly, or until the vegetables are slightly softened. Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the skillet and stir over heat to combine

Royals outshoot Beavers but lose by three goals John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - The visiting Stittsville Royals outshot the hometown Clarence Beavers in their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game at Clarence Creek last Sunday afternoon but the visitors came up on the short end of the 5-2 score. It was the hometown Clarence Beavers that made their shots count the most as the Beavers took a 3-1 first period lead and never looked back to win 5-2. Clarence scored the opening goal of the game but the royals did reply in less than a minute to tie up the game 1-1 thanks to a goal by Steve Genier assisted by Jake Oliver and Joey :Laird. But then Clarence struck for two goals, one with less than a minute to go in the first period, to take a 3-1 lead into the second period. In the second period, Clarence scored the only goal to go ahead by 4-1 entering the final period. The teams exchanged goals in the third period, with Steve Genier notching his second of the game for the Royals. Ben Wade and Robbie Clarkson assisted on this second Genier marker. The final score was 5-2 for the hometown Beavers. On the shot clock, it was the Royals who dominated, directing 43 shots at the Clarence net during the course of the game. The Royals had 18 shots on the Clarence net in the first period, scoring only once. Clarence did outshoot

the Royals by a 12-10 margin in the second period but then the Royals stormed back in the third period with 15 shots at the Clarence net. Clarence had only 10 shots at the Royals net in this third period. Clarence had a total of 32 shots at the Royals net in the game, scoring on five of them. Goalie Jason Shaw played the opening period for the Royals, with Patrick Kealey taking over for the final two periods. Steve Genier of the Royals was selected as the second star in the game. The Stittsville Royals do not play at home at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville until Sunday, Oct. 27 when these same Clarence Beavers come to town for a 2:30 p.m. game. This Saturday, Oct. 19, the Stittsville Royals play in the league’s Fall Classic in Alexandria, taking on the Winchester Hawks in a 9:45 a.m. game. This Fall Classic will see Metro Valley Division teams take on Rideau-St. Lawrence Division teams in a total of 11 games starting on Friday evening, Oct. 18 and running through Sunday, Oct. 20, all at the Glengarry Sports Palace in Alexandria. In the Valley Division standings, the Royals are currently in second place with nine points thanks to a record of four wins, three losses and one overtime loss.

Thanksgiving and 100th birthday happen together John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Thanksgiving happens once a year. But 100th birthdays are few and far between. So, when both celebrations are combined, like happened last Saturday, Oct. 12 at the Richmond Lodge retirement residence, you knew that it is going to be a grand occasion.

And, indeed, grand it was, as resident Ella Speaker, who was marking her 100th birthday that very day, Oct. 12, sat at the head of a collection of tables that stretched the whole length of the dining room at the Lodge, accommodating virtually all of the residents as well as a number of visitors for a Thanksgiving turkey dinner. And Mrs. Speaker not only was at the head

of this long table but at her chair she was accompanied by a bouquet of balloons, floating above and beside her, wishing her a happy birthday, including one balloon noting that it was her 100th birthday. Two bouquets of red flowers were also delivered to the Lodge that day for Mrs. Speaker to help her celebrate her 100th birthday. Mrs. Speaker was planning to spend the afternoon with family while the Lodge itself was planning to have a birthday cake for her on Sunday. Mrs. Speaker was born in England and came to Canada with her family when she was ten years old, living in Hamilton and then Kitchener. She and her husband Charles had three children. She has resided at the Richmond Lodge retirement residence for several 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 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.

Climbing stairs for charity Special to the News

News - It’s like a stairway to heaven. And for Charmaine Hall of Stittsville, “heaven” is the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. That will be her goal this Saturday, Oct. 19 as she participates in the CN Tower stair climb challenge. Her goal is to climb the 148 flights of stairs, consisting of 1,776 stairs, all the way to the top, doing it in 20 minutes or less. She is taking on this challenge primarily to raise money for three charities that she supports but she is also doing it to deal with her extreme fear of heights. And there’s few places higher than the CN Tower. Charmaine, who is a personal fitness trainer, participated in this CN Tower stair climb event last year, com-

pleting it in 21 minutes, a time that she wants to improve on this year with her goal of 20 minutes or less. That has been the goal of her training. She notes that every ten flights, there is a team a paramedics with a defibrillator on hand just in case of an emergency situation. She also says that there are cases of participants throwing up and being sick because of the exertion required and their lack of training. It is raising money for the three charities that she supports that is driving Charmaine to take on this CN Tower stair climb again this year. The three charities are Internal House of Ottawa, a shelter for abused women and children; B.A.R.K. which is the Bytown Association for Rescued Kanines; and the YMCA-YWCA’s Strong Kids

Campaign which helps underprivileged children. Charmaine is hoping that people in the community will help her in this endeavour by supporting her in this and she would be most grateful for any and all donations. Donations can be dropped off at either of her work places: the Kanata YMCA-YWCA at the Canadian Tire Centre (1000 Palladium Drive, Kanata, On. K2V 1A4) or at Anytime Fitness in the Farm Boy shopping area on Hazeldean Road in Kanata (457 Hazeldean Road, Kanata, On. K2L 1V1). Tax receipts will be available. Anyone who wants a tax receipt simply has to provide a full name and address with the donation, along with which one of the three charities is to receive the donation.

Special to the News

News - A committee fostered by the Richmond Village Association (RVA) has started to meet to begin planning celebrations for Richmond’s 200th anniversary of its 1818 founding. Yes, it will be in 2018 that the community will reach 200 years in existence and celebrations to mark the occasion will be held. There were community celebrations in 1968 when Richmond marked its 150th birthday and in 1993 when the community hit the 175 year mark. So celebrations to mark the community’s 200th birthday – absolutely. It is still very early in the planning for these celebrations. Actually, so far, it has just been a brainstorming exercise about possible activities and events, with more investigation being pursued about some of the suggestions. These very early discussions have identified a weekend in June 2018 as a preferred time for a major community-wide celebrations. Possible events might include a quilt show, a BBQ, an historical play, a concert, children’s activities, guest speakers, a parade, a mural unveiling, fireworks, a craft fair and special attractions such as the RCMP Musical Ride, the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets motorcycle team and military re-enactment groups. And while a June 2018 weekend would be the major focus for the celebrations, it is foreseen that these 200th anniversary celebrations could have a year-long emphasis. Evens such as a trivia night, tea party, New year’s levee or New Year’s Eve gala could be included to have the celebrations last throughout the whole year. Other initiatives could include a Canada Post commemorative stamp, street banners, a social media presence such as on Facebook, commemorative clothing like hats and t-shirts, and commemorative items like buttons, coasters and postcards. This could help 2018 become a year of celebration, not just one June weekend of celebration. This would be similar to what happened in 1993 when 175th anniversary celebrations were held, organized by a community committee. Indeed, that year the celebrations started in December of the year before (1992) with a Christmas lighting of the park event that has now become an annual village tradition. In fact, this lighting of the park event was not the first activity for the 175th anniversary. In Oct. 1992, the Dutch-Canadian community of Richmond and Goulbourn planted red tulip bulbs at Memorial Park, tulips which then bloomed in the spring of the 1993 year of celebration. Other activities of these 175th year-long celebrations include a skating party in January, a curling bonspiel and also the creation of a giant snowman in February, a casino night in March, an ice show and also as fashion show in April, a car rally in May, a Night at the Races at Rideau Carleton Raceway in July, a golf tournament and community block party in August, a heritage theme at the annual Richmond Fair in Sep-

tember, a bonfire in October, a celebrity hockey game in November and a lighting of the park event in December, ending the festivities. As for the June weekend events, it was a busy, event packed weekend which happened from Friday, June 4

to Sunday, June 6, 1993. Friday, June 4 events included entertainment at the Legion Hall, a genealogy workshop, a parade along McBean Street, opening ceremonies, fireworks, a beer garden and a military band concert.

It is the thought and hope that all of the groups, organizations and businesses in Richmond will become involved in some way in these 200th anniversary celebrations. This would include the Richmond Legion, the Richmond District Lions Club, the Richmond Agricultural Society, churches, the Goulbourn Historical Society, the Goulbourn Museum, schools and businesses. Such community-wide involvement is essential if these 200th anniversary celebrations are to be a fun and memorable experience for everyone and a true celebrations of Richmond’s people and accomplishments since the community’s founding in 1818.

Sunday, June 6 saw a craft fair, ecumenical service, old fashioned box lunch social, a bingo, a line dancing demonstration, a petting zoo, old fashioned games, a celebrity ball game, an RCMP band concert, the official opening of the Richmond Conservation Area (former lagoons), a fiddling and step dancing show and a firefighters BBQ. Another meeting of the organizing committee for the 200th anniversary celebrations for Richmond in 2018 will be taking place in the spring.

Museum seeking vendors Special to the News

News - The annual Art and Craft Show held by the Goulbourn Museum in the time leading up to Christmas is expanding this year. Not only will it be a show and sale of items made by talented crafters, but also it will be a festive fun occasion with an old fashioned Christmas flavour. Hence the event’s new name: “Old-Fashioned Christmas Art & Craft Sale.” Right now the Goulbourn Museum is seeking crafters to fill the 14 vendor positions that will be available at the event which is being held on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners. It is becoming a juried event with vendors chosen to ensure a balanced representation of items at the event. Specialties being sought include clothing

and accessories, home décor, Christmas greenery, art, toys, textiles and bath and body items. Also this year, the vendors will be housed not in the Museum itself but outside in a heated tent. The festive fun part of the event will include a children’s station for writing letters to Santa, old fashioned photos with Santa, old-world entertainment, Christmas carols, wood-fired pizza made fresh onsite by Pizza All’antica and more. But a key to the success of the event will be the diversity and appeal of the vendors selling their arts and crafts. This is why the Goulbourn Museum is now seeking applications for space at the sale from those interested in being vendors at the show. It’s easy to apply: just send an email to marketing@goulbournmuseum.ca

include name, business name, contact information, a description of your handmade goods, a minimum of three quality photographs and an indication of whether a table is needed or not. Acceptance letters will be emailed out by the Goulbourn Museum by Tuesday, Oct. 15 and will include a contract to sign and return with the payment required. Rental fee for this art and craft show and sale will be $40. More information is available by contacting the Goulbourn Museum’s education and community programmer Tracey Donaldson at 613831-2393 or via email at education@goulbournmuseum.ca or contacting the Goulbourn Museum’s marketing and visitor services staff member Sue Woodford at 613-831-2393 or via email at marketing@goulbournmuseum.ca .
