popularized by the Canadian folk music group The Travellers back in 1955, wrapped up the event, appropriately named “Coast to Coast.�

So, was this a concert or was it an educational journey across Canada?

A concert, yes, as the musical offerings of the Goulbourn Male Chorus reverberated through the Stittsville library as the Chorus sang “I’s the B’y that Builds the Boat,� “Jack was Every Inch a Sailor,� “Land of the Silver Birch,� “My Paddle’s Keen and Bright�, “Dip, Dip and Swing,� “Hunker Down� and “This Land Was Made For You and Me.�

But those present also learned about Canada’s oceans and ďŹ sh, about sailing, about poet Pauline Johnson, about paddling, about the Bluenose and HMS Bounty and about ďŹ shing terms like “hunker down.â€?

And the library had even arranged a display of numerous books about Canada’s nautical lore and history that was front and centre for this “Coast to Coast� presentation by the Goulbourn Male Chorus.

So, lots to learn – lots to experience – and, most importantly, lots to enjoy. It was a concert avoured with nautical and Canadian stories and facts. Everyone left, not only enthused by the rousing ďŹ nale “This Land Was Made For You and Me,â€? but also ďŹ lled with more knowledge and insights into Canada’s nautical and watery heritage. It was an hour well and enjoyably spent.

EMC sports - It was his first year competing on the world stage in the boys age 13-17 division. He was now competing in one of the most difficult and strongest age groupings at the 2012 World Karate Association (WKA) World Championships in Orlando, Florida.

But this previous two time world champion in a younger age division was not deterred.

Bren Hunter of Stittsville came home with two world bronze medals and a world silver medal and a resolve to do even better at next year’s WKA World Championships in Crete, Greece.

Bren was not sure what to expect at this year’s WKA World Championships in Florida since he was moving up to an older age division and would be competing against those up to four years older than himself.

He had qualified for these World Championships at the Canadian national championships last June in Montreal, earning the right to represent Canada in four events in the boys age 13-17 division as well as being the alternate for two additional events.

He also qualified for a special Free Style Team Event with partner Max Kelland of Cantley, Quebec who trains at YKO in Gatineau.

To prepare for the World Championships, Bren trained throughout the summer months with his tournament coach, Imran Jaffer at the Canadian Sport Martial Arts Academy on Iber Road in Stittsville, learning new and more advanced moves to add to his repertoire.

He also did some additional training at Black Belt Excellence, a Tae Kwon Do facility in Kanata, where he studied a Korean form.

In Bren’s first event at the World Championships, which were held in Orlando, Florida from Sept. 22 to Sept. 28, competing in Point Fighting in the under 60 kg weight division, Bren lost to an American competitor.

7 Things You Must Know Before Putting Your Home Up for Sale

John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Customers at the Gaia Java Coffee Shop in Stittsville last Friday evening were able to mix some music with their brew.

Specifically, the music came from the keyboard of pianist Kathleen Prochnau who was the featured artist on this particular evening in the Gaia Java Friday Music Night series.

Introduced by Paul Jay of Gaia Java Coffee Company as not only a piano teacher in the area but also a customer, Ms. Prochnau played a variety of tunes thanks to her repertoire which ranges from Beatles songs to jazz standards like “Angel Eyes” to easy listening efforts like “Cast Your Fate to the Wind.”

Ms. Prochnau is not only a piano teacher and Gaia Java customer but also plays keyboard for a local rock band called “Journey to Boston.”

EMC news - For the Stittsville Food Bank, the Thanksgiving holiday turned into a time to “give thanks.”

That’s because of the generosity of the community which overwhelmed the Food Bank with donations of support over the Thanksgiving holiday period.

The Food Bank extends a big thank you to all those who took the time to fill the Food Drive bags that were distributed and then to deposit them at the local drop-off boxes.

Food Bank volunteers were kept busy through the holiday weekend, picking up these donations that overflowed the bins at the local stores.

Thanks go from the Food Bank to Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, Giant Tiger, Sobey’s and Food Basics for their support.

A big thank you also goes from the Food Bank to St. Thomas Anglican Church which held a food drive on Thanksgiving Sunday.

A great big thank you also goes from the Food Bank to the students, staff and parents of both Guardian Angels Catholic School and St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville who both gathered mountains of food during their Thanksgiving liturgies.

Paul Jay, left, of the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street chats with pianist Kathleen Prochnau, right, seated, before her performance at the coffee shop last Friday evening, Oct. 12.

Ottawa & Area - A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

But it is a story told in a book that has been produced through today’s most modern self-publishing system. That’s how a story developed over almost two decades by author Pat Cher is now available both in a soft cover printed edition as well as in an e-book format.

And the author herself was at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 10 not only to tell about her book which is entitled “Mi’kmaq Song� but also to pass on the knowledge that she has acquired about self-publishing, a journey which she has now successfully taken and hopes to take again.

Ms. Cher’s book “Mi’kmaq Song� tells the story in its 264

613-836-6888

pages of one woman’s journey towards self-understanding. She said that the story is something of a time travel tale, telling how a young girl visits the home of her Mi’kmaq grandmother which is on a beach. She takes a canoe ride and comes across a ghost ship, something which can be found in New Brunswick’s oral history.

Ms. Cher explained that her interest in the Mi’kmaq people came when she started reading about her Acadian ancestors and wanted to know more about the native people who were there when her ancestors arrived.

When she did learn more about the Mi’kmaq, she wanted to tell others about them and the result, after 15 to 20 years of work, has been “Mi’kmaq Song,� published last November. “They are a fascinating people,� Ms. Cher said about the Mi’kmaq. “They are truly fascinating.�

In her writing process, she joined online writing groups and found one, Critique Circle, an online writing workshop, particularly helpful.

On this site, authors put their writing online and it is critiqued by others.

Ms. Cher said that trying to attract a traditional book publisher these days is difficult since such publishers usually go with authors who are already well known. This is not good for beginner, unpublished writers.

After being rejected by a publisher and two agents, Ms. Cher decided to go the selfpublishing route for her book.

This involves uploading the story and formatting it appropriately. Help is also available to create a book cover.

As soon as this is done and acceptable, then the book is printed and goes up for sale on the Amazon site.

The books are printed on demand so when a book is ordered, Amazon prints the book and sends it out. The author receives a portion of the sale price which is more than the author would receive with a traditional publisher.

And this self-publishing can be fast. Whereas it might take a year or two to get published through a traditional book publisher (if accepted), self-publishing of a completed manuscript can take only days. It also opens up the field of e-books.

Green Bin Tip

There are other self-publishing enterprises besides Amazon but Ms. Cher went with what she viewed as the best known. “I chose Amazon because it’s the most popular,� she said.

Marketing remains the responsibility of the author. Ms.

Cher uses Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin as part of her marketing strategy. She admits, though, that marketing is difficult, although she adds that she enjoys every aspect of writing and publishing a book, even the marketing.

And she is not done writing by any means.

She says that she has about 20 other stories already on her computer, with four or five ones that she wants to put online for reaction.

Public Information Sessions: Changing the zoning for land use in your Rural Village

#17

For more than a year, City staff have been talking with rural citizens about land use and zoning in preparation for the 2013 OfďŹ cial Plan review. This work is now complete and the next step is to explain how the new land use policies will change the City of Ottawa Zoning By-law as it applies to villages. The staff presentation will begin at 7 p.m.

The answer is right under your nose! Instead of using a bag, you can use this newspaper to line your kitchen catcher and reduce odours.

Step 1:

Ashton, Munster, North Gower, Richmond, Manotick, FallowďŹ eld, Kars and Burritt’s Rapids

Fold 4 or 5 newspaper pages in half horizontally and fold the bottom corners to the centre.

Step 2:

Participants at the 2011 meetings may be interested to see how residents’ concerns and ideas have been made part of the Village plans for the future and how the zoning by-law will be changed. The changes may affect some of the zoning designations in your village.

Fold down the top edges.

What happens next?

A zoning by-law amendment report is scheduled to go to the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee (ARAC) in January 2013. The report will be available on ottawa.ca one week before the ARAC meeting.

It’s ‘Stittsville’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is approaching businesses and developers in the ward to urge them to use the Stittsville name on their promotional material.

He is sending letters to all of the businesses and developers pointing out the long history of the Stittsville community and the Stittsville name and asking that the name be respected by businesses and developers in their promotional materials. “A name is a key factor in identifying the community and as your business is located in the Stittsville boundary, I ask that you please have your promotional material keep the Stittsville name front and foremost,� councillor Qadri is saying in his letter to businesses. “We are proud of the name of Stittsville and

that pride should be conveyed through the businesses in our community,� he continues, while also noting that there will be less confusion for both residents and businesses in determining a boundary between Stittsville and Kanata.

This confusion is considered greatest for businesses along the newly reconstructed Hazeldean Road and also for businesses in the southeast corner of the ward.

Stittsville Village Association director David Fairbrother had emailed Walmart, which recently opened in the southeast corner of the Stittsville ward at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive, that it was located in Stittsville, not Kanata.

A Walmart flyer had identified the store as being in Kanata south.

SVA president Marilyn Jenkins, at the SVA’s Oct. 11 executive meeting, commented that not every business in the Stittsville area appears to be proud of being in Stittsville.

Women’s hockey to be feast for starved fans

H

ockey starved fans will soon be treated to a feast, when Ottawa plays host to the 2013 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s Championship next April.

The games will take place at the Nepean Sportsplex and Scotiabank Place from April 2 to 9, with the world’s top 10 teams competing for the world championship.

The tournament comes as welcome news to a city struggling with the loss of

revenue from the National Hockey League lockout.

There’s no telling how long the lockout will last – it could range anywhere from a month to an entire season.

Fans have been placed once again in the middle of a dispute between owners and players over revenue sharing, a conflict that has left casualties among hotels, restaurants and other businesses that depend on money generated

by NHL games.

The women’s world hock-

ey championship is expected to generate $30 million in economic activity, according to Cyril Leeder, president of Senators Sports and Entertainment, one of the hosts of the tournament during a press conference on Oct. 11.

The games are also expected to bring in an estimated 200,000 spectators, he said.

Spectators who will rent hotel rooms, purchase food at restaurants and buy gas at gas stations, boosting the city’s

economy and encouraging temporary job creation.

The last time a Canadian city hosted the women’s world hockey championship, in 2007, the games generated $29 million in the city of Winnipeg.

The games also promise some exciting hockey, with the best players in the world competing for their countries.

Some of these players will be putting on the Team Canada jersey for the first time and competing for their

country on an international stage, an honour that overshadows any medal count or the amount of money generated by the tournament.

Fans will also be treated to a revival of the long-standing rivalry between Team Canada and Team USA, traditionally two of the best teams in women’s hockey.

The tournament will also serve to inspire a new generation of hockey players, some of whom may aspire to one day compete on a na-

tional and international stage.

Let’s face it, women’s hockey does not receive the same amount of coverage or support as men’s hockey.

If the NHL lockout wipes out the 2012-13 season, people won’t be distracted by the playoffs, giving a boost to the profile and fan base of women’s hockey.

The federal government has announced it will support the tournament to the tune of $500,000 – a welcome investment in our national sport.

The women’s world hockey championship serves as a reminder that NHL hockey isn’t the only game in town.

COLUMN

Life in a super-sized society CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

W

e may not be getting better but we’re certainly getting bigger.

You realize this every time you go shopping. Look how big the shopping cart is – way bigger than it used to be. It’s like you’re pushing a truck down the aisle. The stuff you put in it is big too.

And we should have mentioned how big the store is. If you walked from one side to the other without stopping to put any big items in your big cart it would still take you five minutes.

The store is big because it has a big selection – not just groceries, but chairs and TV sets and toys and pharmaceutical stuff. Some of those things are bigger than you expected to find in a grocery store, but fortunately you have a big cart.

You pay your big bucks and wheel the big cart out to the parking lot, which is really big.

Most of the cars in it are big too. That’s a good thing for carrying big groceries, maybe not so good in other respects.

In fact, there are a whole lot of respects in which big is questioned, but not by too many people yet. When “big� is used as an adjective in our society it means “good.�

Then you drive onto the big highway that goes where small neighbourhoods used to be.

It would all be alarming if you suddenly arrived from a place where things were smaller, but those of us who have been around here for a while have got used to all this bigness.

Look what we’re getting in Ottawa: more big buildings, a big development at Lansdowne Park, a big casino. You don’t see politicians

bragging about the small things they’ve created. They may have forgotten how to do that.

Big is all around us. When we go to the movies it is to a big building with many big theatres inside with wide seats and ample legroom. When we order snacks at the movies the small popcorn is huge and so is the small drink.

It is no surprise that people are getting to be pretty big too. A lot of experts worry abut that, but how do you expect people to stay small in such a big environment?

Not that everything is big. Some things that we wish were big aren’t, such as parking spaces.

And then there are airplanes. About the only place where we are treated as if we were small is on airplanes. The seats are narrow and the legroom is only adequate for children. Those of us who are not children feel as if we have accidentally stumbled onto the wrong plane, a children’s plane. Maybe somewhere on the tarmac is the proper plane, a grown-ups’ plane with seats that fit us and aisles where two grown-ups can walk by each other.

But on this airplane we just feel too big now. The feeling intensifies when we are brought a meal. It is on a tiny tray with little utensils wrapped in plastic which we find there is no place to put once removed. Our fingers are too big to perform the tasks demanded of them. We are all thumbs and the thumbs are too big, too.

You know the feeling. As you wrestle with all of this your shoulders collide with the shoulders of the person next to you. Somewhere inside one of the bits of plastic are a tiny plastic fork, a tiny plastic knife, a tiny salt and a tiny pepper and something to wipe up any food you might spill if you are ever able to get it unwrapped.

You wish, while you struggle, that you were in a giant movie theatre with a small (big) popcorn and a small (big) drink and that the movie theatre could fly.

You appreciate bigness suddenly, except for your own.

Fire Prevention Week emphasizes ‘Two Ways Out’ mary exit is blocked. Hence the advice “Have Two Ways Out.” Having two ways out of every room in the home is just one of the ways to prevent any tragedy happening as a result of a fire.

In case of a fire in the home, the Ottawa Fire Services advises occupants to exit the building, have a meeting place, call 9-1-1 from a safe location and never go back

into the home until the Ottawa Fire Services says that it is safe to do so.

These messages about having two ways out and other fire safety messages were among those given at this year’s launch of Fire Prevention Week in the city of Ottawa.

It was a launch that was held on Tuesday, Oct. 9 at Ottawa Fire Station No. 46 which is the fire station on Iber Road in Stittsville.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Holding a Fire Prevention Week poster advocating the slogan “Have 2 Ways Out!” at the official launch for the week at Ottawa Fire Station No. 46 on Iber Road in Stittsville on Tuesday, Oct. 9 are, from left, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, city of Ottawa councillor Mark Taylor who is chair of council’s community and protective services committee, Deputy Fire Chief Kim Ayotte and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

On hand for the launch was city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who noted the fire safety initiatives promoted by the Ottawa Fire Services such as the “Wake Up” initiative and a carbon monoxide alarm program for seniors.

“I encourage Ottawa residents to practice fire safety, not just this week, but every week of the year,” the mayor said.

City of Ottawa councillor Mark Taylor, who is chair of council’s community and protective services committee, noted the Ottawa Fire Services’ efforts to prevent fires from occurring and escaping safely when they do.

“I hope all residents take time this week to make sure they are taking fire prevention seriously and that they have two ways out,” he said.

This emphasis on “Have Two Ways Out” was reiterated by Ottawa fire chief John deHooge who pointed out that more must be done by homeowners than simply installing smoke alarms in the home.

“Smoke alarms are vital but you also need to know how to respond when they go off,” chief deHooge said. “Everyone needs to have a fire escape plan that includes a primary and secondary escape route.”

This Fire Prevention Week launch also included a demonstration of a special visual smoke alarm that benefits people with hearing impairments. While a traditional smoke alarm emits a piercing noise, this is useless for some-

one who is deaf or hard of hearing. Hence, there is now a smoke alarm that flashes a bright light to notify the person of a fire.

The Canadian Hearing Society partnered with the Ottawa Fire Services for this year’s Fire Prevention Week to try to increase the awareness of visual fire alarms for deaf, deafened and hard of hearing residents.

These visual firm alarms are

equipped with strobe lights.

They are different from the traditional auditory alarms which warm of danger by sound.

This does not work for the deaf, deafened or hard of hearing individuals.

That’s why visual fire alarms are essential for the safety of the deaf and hard of hearing population.

The Canadian Hearing Society believes that this extra expenses for the deaf and hard of hearing should be eligible for some degree of government financial support.

Current legislation in Ontario does not address who is responsible for the cost of and installation of visual fire alarms in apartment units, new condominium units and new homes.

Almost 25 percent of adult Canadians report some hearing loss, although closer to ten percent of people actually identify themselves as deaf, deafened or hard of hearing.

Hearing loss is the third

most prevalent chronic conditions in older adults and the most widespread disability. Its prevalence rises with age and Canada is a country where the population is getting older as the years go by. In 2030, it is estimated that Canadians 65 years and older will represent 25 percent of the total population, nearly double the current 13 percent. Associated cases of hearing loss and hearing difficulty will also rise accordingly.

Fire Prevention Week ran from Sunday, Oct. 7 through Saturday, Oct. 13. Others at the city of Ottawa’s Fire Prevention Week launch ceremony in Stittsville include city of Ottawa Stittsville ward

councillor Shad Qadri, Susan Jones who is general manager of emergency protective services for the city and Michel David of the Canadian Hearing Society.

A working smoke alarm can save lives in the event of a fire in a home. Indeed, statistics collected over a period from 1995 to 2004 show that almost half of preventable fatal fires happened where there was no smoke alarm warning.

Sixty percent of these smoke alarms had no batteries or the power was cut off, seven percent had dead batteries and four percent had batteries what were improperly installed.

In Ontario, the law is that

there must bea working smoke alarm outside every sleeping area in the home. There must be at least one working smoke alarm on every storey of a home that does not contain a sleeping area.

For a rental unit, it is the owner’s legal responsibility to make sure that there are proper working smoke alarms in the unit.

A smoke alarm should be tested once a month by pushing the test button. Smoke alarms that are more than ten years old should be replaced with new ones.

A good practice is to change the batteries in smoke alarms when you change your clock in the spring and fall.

Medal at ‘The Queen’s Tea’ Special to the News

EMC news - You may not be one of the only 60,000 Canadians who have or are receiving the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal marking the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne. But at this Saturday’s “The Queen’s Tea” event being held in Stittsville, you will be able to see one up close. That’s because Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient Bernie Muzeen of Stittsville will be attending the event and will have with him the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal which he received in a ceremony on Parliament Hill in September.

This will be but one special feature at this “The Queen’s Tea” event that is being hosted by the Goulbourn Township Historical Society and the Goulbourn Museum at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library this Saturday, Oct. 20. It’s a dropin event with everyone welcome, running from 1:30 p.m. through to 4 p.m. It’s an event celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee.

There’s going to be a “Look Alike” contest for adults, trying to find those who look like either Queen Elizabeth or Prince Philip.

For youngsters, there will

be a “Princes and Princesses” dress up contest. Youngsters aged 4 to 8 are urged to drop in dressed up in their best royal finery. All costumes will be judged, with prizes awarded at 3:30 p.m.

There will be displays of “royal” items and mini- quizzes for adults. In addition, there will be tea and treats.

After all, an event called “The Queen’s Tea” has to involve some tea.

Everyone is welcome to drop in. Dressing up in “royal” finery would be a nice touch but it is not necessary by any means. And, oh yes, everything is free.

Over $1,100 raised in White Cane Campaign Special to the News

EMC news - Stittsville District Lions Club members will be out again coming Saturday raising funds to battle blindness and vision impairment through their White Cane Campaign.

Last Saturday Lions Club members were at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville, collecting donations, handing out white cane pins and providing information about blindness and vision impairment.

Thanks to the generosity and support of many, the Lions raised over $1,100 for the Club’s White Cane Campaign. These funds will be going to support projects aiding the blind and vision impaired.

The Lions will be at it again this coming Saturday, Oct. 20, on duty at five locations in Stittsville. The Lions Club members will be at

Giant Tiger, Sobey’s, Stittsville IDA Pharmacy, Shoppers Drug Mart and the LCBO from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., again trying to raise awareness of the issues surrounding vision impairment and blindness while also collecting donations that will go to help fund blind and vision impairment initiatives.

Blind and visually impaired people in many countries use the familiar white cane as they move around their community. The Lions’ White Cane Campaign is meant to help increase awareness of this “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.

Seven year old Anderson Bihler, centre, sitting in his wheelchair, points out a spot on a vehicle that his mother Shelley Black, right, missed cleaning at the fundraising car wash held for Anderson by Ottawa Fire Services firefighters of District 4 at the former Stittsville Flea Market site on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville as firefighter Steve Rossini, left, foreground, and Anderson’s grandfather Stan Black, standing, background, look on last Saturday, Oct. 13.

Car wash raising funds for seven year old Anderson Continued from page 1

As of last Monday, over $27,000 has been raised in the community effort to help Anderson and his mother with the expenses that they are facing together over the coming two years as Anderson makes his recovery.

The fundraising is meant to help Anderson and his mom have the financial resources to

provide for Anderson’s medical needs and to allow his mother to stay home and care for him during his recovery. She left her job to be with Anderson through his medical ordeal and now, thanks to the fundraising, she will be able to stay with him and care for him at least for the next year.

Anderson is still recovering from his brain injury, tiring easily. It could take him up to two

years to recover, doctors say. The severe stroke that he suffered caused a devastating degree of paralysis on his left side. He currently must spend his time in a wheelchair, quite a hardship for a boy who used to enjoy riding his bike and playing the piano.

Funds raised in the community to help Anderson will go toward neurological physiotherapy, equipment needs and various forms of

treatment while also helping his mom to continue to be at his side throughout his recovery.

The Stittsville firefighters at Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street were not only involved in last Saturday’s fundraising car wash for Anderson but also raised $3,650 for Anderson at a fundraising pancake breakfast held at the Stittsville Main Street fire hall on Saturday, Sept. 29 which attracted a capacity crowd.

Art on display in Stittsville Artists Studio Tour John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - While fall-coloured trees display Mother Nature’s art around the community, the art of six Stittsville artists will be on display this coming weekend in the ninth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour.

The art will be on display in the homes of the six artists spread through the Stittsville community. It’s a great opportunity to see how the art looks in a home setting. In addition, this Artists Studio Tour gives art lovers a great chance to chat with the artists themselves, finding out the background to a painting and hearing about the techniques used.

Four of the artists participating in this year’s tour are in the Amberwood community while the two others are located in the southern part of the village.

The participating artists this year are Josie Braden at 19 Glen Abbey Crescent, Vera van Baaren at 11 Plainfield Court, Bernice Wills

at 7 Plainfield Court and Daniel Morales-Gomez at 26 Trailway Circle, all in Amberwood; Wendy Murray at 396 West Ridge Drive near Fernbank Road; and Diane Dean at 181 Hartsmere Drive south of Fernbank Road and east of Stittsville Main Street.

Josie Braden, who has been painting for about 15 years, started with oils but switched to watercolours which she likes because of the beautiful effects of colour and transparency which can be achieved with this medium.

She enjoys ‘plein-air” painting and sketching with her art friends.

She likes to think that in her art she is preserving a little bit of the plentiful beauty which exists in the world. She can be contacted at 613-599-4959 or via email at josie.braden@ gmail.com Vera van Baaren, who was born in the Netherlands where she studied art, drawsher inspiration mainly from nature. She paints mainly with watercolours and acrylics.

Vera has won several wards, not only in

Canada but also in the Netherlands.

Vera can be contacted at 613-836-3725 or via email at veralex@bell.net Bernie Wills is a fan of watercolours which she finds suits her light artistic approach.

She has received awards in local juried shows and her work can be found in private collections not only in Canada but also in England, Australia, South Africa and Japan.

Bernice can be contacted at 613-836-4887 or via email at Bernice.25@hotmail.com Daniel Morales-Gomez’s art combines a Latin American flavour of colours with scenes depicting Canada’s seasons and its vast geography.

His work is in art collections in both Canada and the United States.

Daniel can be contacted at 613-836-5362 or via email at dmggallery@magma.ca Wendy Murray is on a life’s journey with her art which she feels expresses who she is at any particular point in her life.

She enjoys experimenting with colours and

techniques. Her style varies from detailed work involving animals and landscapes to less structured work in which her feelings flow freely.

Wendy can be contacted at 613-435-5075 or via email at wjmurray@rogers.com Diane Dean, who has a Maritime heritage, finds that her Maritime roots do show up in her art.

She works in oils and watercolours while she uses acrylics for her wall murals.

Diane can be contacted at 613-435-1217 or via email at Diane_Dean@rogers.com This nine annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour will take place this Saturday, Oct. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and also this Sunday, Oct. 21, also from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This year’s tour will be offering a door prize of a $120 voucher that can be used toward the purchase of a painting on display in the tour.

Here comes a party for owaa gallery at GRC Special to the News

EMC news - Everyone likes a party.

And especially one with cake, ice cream and music for everyone.

That’s why you should play to be at the upcoming fourth birthday party and art sale at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville.

Besides the cake, ice cream and music, there will be a

children’s craft table and door prizes.

In addition, there will be lots of the owaa artists on hand to discuss their art.

Who knows? You might just leave after purchasing one of these pieces of art, an ideal and unique Christmas gift or perhaps something that will go great on that wall in your home.

This is all happening on Saturday, Nov. 3 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the owaa gallery

which is in the lobby area of the GRC on Shea Road in Stittsville.

Piano player Rick Leben is going to be a busy fellow at the party. He is slated to play at two different times, for an hour and a half each time. He will be twinkling the ivories, as it were, from 12 noon to 1:30 p.m. and then again from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The formal party celebration will be happening at 1:30 p.m. when the dignitar-

ies present will be speaking.

This includes city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Stittsville Village Association president Marilyn Jenkins. Each of these dignitaries will be bring their birthday greetings to the gathering.

A special birthday cake will be formally cut by mayor Watson and councillor Qadri at 2 p.m.

The story of the owaa gal-

lery at the GRC goes back to Nov. 2007 when a Stittsville Steering Committee to investigate possible exhibit space in the community was formed.

Members included Sue Perley-Robertson, John Madden, Louise Barker, Beverly Ashford and Gerard Smith, with Terry Sametz as a consultant.

In Dec. 2007, the committee became the GRC Gallery X Steering Committee whose efforts resulted in the formation of the Ottawa West Arts

Association (owaa) in May 2008 involving the committee, a group of local artists and a number of community residents. The owaa began planning for an exhibition space for the visual arts in the phase two expansion of the GRC. This exhibition space was named the owaa gallery and opened on Nov. 1, 2008.

This visual arts exhibition space is meant to increase the awareness of the visual arts in the community.

Artist Bernice Wills enjoys annual Studio Tour John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - This year Stittsville artist Bernice Wills will be participating in her eighth Stittsville Artists Studio Tour. She missed the first one but has been a stalwart in all subsequent tours.

And the event is a couple of days that Bernice really enjoys. That’s because she finds that those who visit the artists on the tour are interested in paintings as they have made the effort to travel around the village specifically to view the art on display. Because of this interest, they often stay for a while and ask all kinds of questions – how long did it take to paint, how were the colours determined, and more.

And this is just fine with Bernice because, as she will tell you, “I love talking to the people.�

She always has coffee, tea biscuits, soft

drinks and juice available for those who visit her on the Studio Tour. She wants people to feel welcome and stay as long as they wish.

She admits that there are some who just drop in for a quick look and she is fine with that, realizing that there are different styles of art and her style may not be what people are looking for. No matter how long people stay, she finds that there is one common denominator for those who visit her during the Studio Tour. “They are always so nice friendly people,� Bernice says.

This year’s Stittsville Artists Studio Tour is happening a little earlier than in past years when the Studio Tour happened in the first week of November. The event was moved up this year to try to avoid conflict with other art events.

Bernice is a confirmed watercolourist, even though she feels that it is the most

Street where the parade will end.

At the Stittsville Main Street/Abbott Street intersection at Village Square Park, SVA director Christine Hartig will be providing a commentary on the various floats in the parade as they pass through the intersection.

The SVA is still looking for more volunteers to be on duty at the various road closure barricades along Stittsville Main Street, ensuring that traffic from these side streets does not get out onto Stittsville Main Street during the parade. These volunteers will be provided with safety vests.

It costs the SVA about $1,000 to put on the Parade of Lights, much of this as an appearance fee for the bagpipe band which marches each year in the parade.

Last year the SVA had corporate sponsors which covered the costs incurred by the parade. The SVA is hoping that corporate sponsors will come forward this year to help offset the costs of the parade.

For more information about the Parade of Lights including participation and corporate sponsorship, please contact SVA president Marilyn Jenkins at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com

EMC news - The annual Christmas Parade of Lights in Stittsville this year may be the biggest ever.

Marilyn Jenkins, president of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which organizes the parade, told the SVA executive at its meeting on Thursday, Oct. 11 that she has been getting a lot of inquiries already from those interested in participating in the parade. Notices have been sent out to last year’s parade participants as well.

This year’s Parade of Lights is happening on Saturday, Nov. 24 starting at 6:30 p.m. from the Ottawa Carleton Board of Education depot on Stittsville Main Street across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. The parade will move south along Stittsville Main Street, passing through the Stittsville Main Street/Abbott Street intersection and on to Carleton Cathcart

difficult medium that there is in art. Watercolours as a medium are not very forgiving in that once the watercolour is applied, there is not much that can be done to change it. With acrylics, for example, there is more leeway as acrylics can be layered and changed that way.

Watercolours also dry very quickly. Indeed, Bernice claims that often the paper and paint seem to have a mind of their own. “It’s a real challenge,� she says, although she loves the transparency and clarity of colour that can be achieved using watercolours.

She feels that watercolours fit her style which features a softer, lighter approach as to opposed to dark, brooding art. She enjoys painting flowers and landscapes and also does some still life work. It all depends on her mood at the time, she says.

RWC Crusaders are champions in Rochester Special to the News

EMC sports - To be champions in a hockey tournament. Impressive. To capture a tournament championship on American soil. Great. And to win while adjusting to a rule of no body contact. Awesome.

But this is what the Major Peewee RWC (Richmond West Carleton) Crusaders did over the Thanksgiving weekend as they travelled to Rochester, New York to play in the Peewee A division of the Rochester Fall Classic hockey tournament.

The Crusaders not only ended up winning on the ice but also were able to adjust their normal playing style to eliminate body contact, keep their sticks on the ice and play the puck. The result was a tournament championship win.

The Crusaders opened up their tournament play with a 3-1 victory over the Piedmont Predators from Virginia. This was the team’s first exposure to the American style of hockey and it required some adaptation.

But the Crusaders handled the change and skated away with the victory.

The outcome was not as good for the Crusaders’ next game against the New Jersey Penguins, a fast team.

Although the Crusaders dominated the first period

of play, it was the Penguins who emerged on top. But this would not be the end of it between these two teams.

In their third round-robin game, the Crusaders exploded for eight goals in beating the Ashburn Extreme 8-1. Andrew McAtamney had a hat

trick for the Crusaders.

The championship final in this tournament came down to a re-match between the Crusaders and the New Jersey Penguins.

Owen Lassaline got the Crusaders on the board with a first period goal.

The Crusaders showed perseverance and determination in trying to control the puck.

The Crusaders added a second goal on a penalty shot by Andrew McAtamney, resulting in a 2-0 victory and the tournament championship.

Cameron Millar got the

shutout in the Crusaders’ net.

The RWC Crusaders Hockey Club (Richmond West Carleton) is one of the competitive hockey programs with which the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association is associated.

Others include the Ottawa

Silver Seven and the Upper Canada Cyclones.

The RWC Crusaders Hockey Club, drawing players from both the Richmond Munster and West Carleton minor hockey organizations, began play in the 2011-2012 season.

SUBMITTED

Members of the Major Peewee RWC Crusaders, champions in the Peewee A division in the recent Rochester Fall Classic hockey tournament in Rochester, N.Y., are, at the front, goalies Sebastien Lemaire, left, and Cameron Millar, right; first row, kneeling, from left, Brennan Kerwin, Thomas Steele, Fletcher Tompkins, Michael Steele, Owen Lassaline, Flynn Graham and Josh Arts; and, back row, from left, head coach Shawn Kerwin, assistant coach Chris Steele, Austin McCord, Alex Hall, Evan Murray, Matthew Labuschagne, Andrew McAtamney, Lucas Henkel, Nicholas Langford, Brandon Scrim, assistant coach Chris Millar and trainer Mark Tompkins.

Scenic routes another feature of 9 RUN RUN Special to the News

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9 RUN RUN event in Stittsville has lots going for it, not only because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of fun to be had, not only running and walking but also all the other activity that will be going on at this third annual event but also because those participating get to enjoy scenic courses.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward Shad Qadri, speaking at the Oct. 11 meeting of the Stittsville Village Association, said that few other half marathon or 10 K runs feature the kind of scenery found on the 9 RUN RUN courses which include not only some of Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surrounding countryside but also scenery along the Trans Canada Trail.

Besides the running and walking, the 9 RUN RUN event this Saturday, Oct. 20 includes chili cook off, a BBQ, live music and lots to eat.

Representatives of all three of the emergency services involved in this event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the police, fire and paramedics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be competing for the best chili designation in the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chili Cook Off. Joe Miccucci of the Ottawa Paramedic Service, who won this Chili

Cook Off at the inaugural 9 RUN RUN event in 2010, will be back and you know that his chili is great.

The Ottawa Police Services has recruited city of Ottawa councillor and former restaurateur Eli El-Chantiry, chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board, as its representative in the Chili Cook Off. And the Ottawa Fire Service is right in there too, with Gerry Pingitore, winner of last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chili Cook Off, back, apparently with a new and improved chili. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be quite a competition this year.

Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer has generously agreed to provide all of the ingredients required for this Chili Cook Off. And thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be plenty of chili to eat thanks to Scrumptious Catering of Stittsville which is providing enough chili to serve 500 people. The chili has been a big hit with 9 RUN RUN participants in the past but the challenge has always been to have enough to go around.

Now, thanks to Scrumptious Catering, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be lots of chili for people to enjoy.

Members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Stittsville will be back at

the event again this year, providing face painting which youngsters all love.

There will be a BBQ hosted by the Hobbs family farm and McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

And Tim Hortons will be back as well, helping out.

Live music will be in the air thanks to Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Usâ&#x20AC;? along with music provided by BOB-FM. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the fun from the running. Indeed, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for everyone. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 10K Run which is already sold out; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 3K run that is close to selling out; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a half marathon that has already attracted more than last year with time for registration still to go; and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the 3K Nesbitt Burns Family Fun Run. Registration for these races is n0ow closed.

The starting line this Saturday, Oct. 20 is going to be busy from 8 a.m. right through to 10 a.m.

The Bushtukah half marathon walkers will be setting off at 8 a.m.

The 10K runners and also walkers will head out at 9 a.m. while the half marathon runners will be off at 9:15 a.m.

The 3K Nesbitt burns Family Fun

Run participants will leave the starting line at 10 a.m.

Race kit pickup for the participants is being held again this year at Bushtukah at the Grant Crossing shopping area on Hazeldean Road.

These pick up dates and times are Thursday, Oct. 18 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 19 from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The runners will love crossing the finish line, not only for the sense of satisfaction that they will have and also the satisfaction from raising money for a worthy cause but also because awaiting them at this finish line will be bananas, bagels, chocolate milk and more, all thanks to the generosity of Sobeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Water stations along the route of these runs and walks are being sponsored this year by Coldwell Banker and Holitzner Homes.

And runners will also be able to have a massage at the end of their runs thanks to Stittsville Main Street Physiotherapy. How good is that!

The rallying point for this 9 RUN RUN event this Saturday, Oct. 20 is Sacred Heart Catholic High School at the corner of Abbott Street and Shea Road in Stittsville.

The event is happening again this year thanks to the support and input from city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and the city of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s police, fire and paramedic services.

There are also hundreds of volunteers involved. As volunteer coordinator Karen Von Jagow says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just do the work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they make it work.â&#x20AC;?

There will be some traffic disruptions and detours in place to accommodate the runners and walkers.

Motorists are asked to try to avoid Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street on this particular Saturday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all for a good cause. Last year this 9 RUN RUN event raised $25,911.11 in support of Do It For Daron and the Royal Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth mental health awareness study and early intervention research project.

We are at the halfway point in our MidTerm Town Hall meeting schedule. There was some confusion about the upcoming meeting in Ashton. The meeting is Thursday, October 18th from 7-9pm at the Ashton Christ Church. I inadvertently placed the wrong date in a recent column in which I said it was on the 24th. The Newsletter we mailed out in September had the correct date, October 18th. In case this causes any issues, we also have a Town Hall at the Canadian Golf & Country Club on Wednesday, November 21st and we have added an additional Town Hall meeting at the Goulbourn Town Hall on Wednesday, November 28th. For those of you in the Fallowfield Village area, we are hosting a meeting at St. Patrick’s Church Hall on November 13th. All meeting times are from 7-9pm.

Flu clinics coming Special to the News

October 15th, 2012 STITTSVILLE MAIN STREET COMMUNITY DESIGN PLAN I have been working with City of Ottawa Planning staff to undertake a Community Design Plan (CDP) for Stittsville Main Street. As you know, we are receiving a large amount of growth throughout Stittsville, and I want to ensure that the development along our Main Street retains the community feel of Stittsville. The Study area will include properties on Stittsville Main Street from Elm Street to Carp Road.

The CDP is intended to provide a broad and integrated twenty-year vision and guidance for the growth of the area. It will provide policy direction from which the enabling conditions for sustainable development will emerge, and be of sufficient detail to guide change in both the public and private realms, as implemented through Urban Design Guidelines, Capital Projects and Zoning By-laws.

I encourage you to attend the public visioning workshop on Thursday, November 1 at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena hall located at 10 Warner Colpitts Drive. The evening will begin at 6:30 pm with sign-in and a chance for the public to give some initial comments on their hopes and concerns for the community. At 7 p.m. staff will provide a brief presentation about the CDP process and the Vision Statement that will be the product of the workshop. We will then divide into discussion groups concerning topics including, transportation, land use and urban design, architectural heritage, environment and open space, and infrastructure.

An opportunity will be provided for people to visit the discussion tables and comment on different topics. The discussion groups will report back to the general assembly and a record of the workshop proceedings will be compiled. Following the workshop a Vision Statement will be drafted and posted on the project webpage.

EMC news - Ottawa Public Health free community influenza immunization clinics are coming up in both Stittsville and Richmond in November.

The clinic in Stittsville will be held on Monday, Nov. 5 from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street at Iber Road in Stittsville.

The clinic in Richmond will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 14 from 3:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at South Carleton High School on McBean Street in Richmond.

Receiving a flu shot at one of these clinics or at any of the other clinics being held throughout the city, starting on Saturday, Oct. 27 and running through to Saturday, Dec.

15 is one of the ways in which city of Ottawa residents can get the flu vaccine. Other ways are through a personal physician or health care provider or at a workplace immunization clinic.

The flu vaccine is the most effective way of protecting yourself against the flu virus.

Other precautions which help protect against the flu are washing hands often with soap and water or hand sanitizer; covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your arm, not your hand; and staying at home when sick.

This year’s flu vaccine will cover three strains of influenza: the 2009 H1N1 strain, an influenza A known as H3N2 and an influenza B component.

This visioning workshop will provide an overview of the CDP process and also engage your input into the process. It is important to hear from the community on this plan which will shape our Main Street.

As more information becomes available I will also be posting information on my website.

RESIDENTS URGED TO HAVE TWO WAYS OUT DURING FIRE PREVENTION WEEK Ottawa Fire Services urge residents to have a backup plan in case the primary exit originally established in your family’s fire escape plan, is blocked. This is why the theme for Fire Prevention Week is, “Have Two Ways Out”.

In case of fire in your home, occupants should: Exit the building; Have a meeting place; Call 9-1-1 from a safe location; and Never go back into the home until an Ottawa Fire Services representative tells you it is safe to do so.

Throughout the week, Ottawa Fire Services will have displays and activities at libraries, shopping centres, an Ottawa 67s game and all Home Depot outlets.

You can find a list of these locations on ottawa.ca.

DID YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BEHIND SWITZER’S SHOP ON MAIN STREET IN 1948?

Up until the 1940’s, residents of Stittsville relied on each others’ help for many things. One was putting out fires when they occurred as there was no official fire station. That was, until a group of men who used to meet together in the back of the Switzer Welding and Repair shop to swap stories, took hold of the idea of having a real fire service. A proposal was presented to the Stittsville Board of Trade who whole heartedly supported the idea of having a local fire service. One of the gentlemen that were a part of the talk at Switzer’s was Ernie Lasalle, who became the first Stittsville Fire Brigade Chief in 1948.

When a fire occurred everyone in the town was alerted as they shared the same phone line (party line). So when the phone rang to alert the fire fighters everyone in Stittsville picked up their phone to hear the operator shout, “Fire at……”.

In 1955 the village purchased an air raid siren that took the place of the phone call alert. A group of dedicated firefighter volunteers became very proficient as they studied all they could about fighting fires. In 1951 the Stittsville Firefighters Association formed.

When it was realized that more than half of the calls for fire were coming in from outside the boundaries of Stittsville the force decided to join with the Goulbourn Township. As things got busier the Chief from 1967 to 1990, Howard Macguire, took on a paid position. His force however remained volunteers. A member of his team was Sterling Howie, whose name is reflected on the Station 81 sign beside the Stittsville library on Main Street. Today we are very fortunate to have an amazing group of dedicated men and women in our fire services protecting our community.

This event offers a festive atmosphere with over 100 tables of treasures handmade by Crafters and Artisans from Ontario and Western Quebec.

Admission $1 or non-perishable item Café Supervised Children’s Play Area Bake Table and much more ….

Funds raised will go towards the support of Grands & Friends, a local group of women who raise funds and awareness on behalf of African Grandmothers who are raising millions of orphaned grandchildren. Proceeds will also help the Kanata Food Cupboard Christmas Hampers and Victoria’s Quilts for cancer patients which All Saints is involved with.

EMC news - Want some Halloween reading? Well, consider Bernie Shawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ghosts of Goulbournâ&#x20AC;? which is now available once again.

The book did sell out but the Goulbourn Township Historical Society has arranged for another printing and now the book is available, just in time for Halloween.

In this book, you can read

people believe in ghosts.

Can the recent presence of a young girl in a Stittsville apartment have anything to do with Lala Butler, killed by a train outside the apartment early last century?

Did the suicide of a Richmond man in 1893 trigger a series of strange happenings in his family home?

Did a ghostly Munster family throw a party after their strict parents passed on?

Did a man who died in 1870

warn a young girl in 1970 that atree was about to fall on her chair?

Was the daughter of a native woman killed by settlers reunited with her mother? Did the White Ghost at Ashton die in a grain bin or when making potash? Did a ghost object to the introduction of television to Stittsville? Did a mischievous ghost turn on the shower or bake muffins?

The book is now available for sale at $10 per copy at Sobeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Stittsville, at the Gaia Java Coffee Shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre

(Shoppersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street, at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners and at the Ashton General Store.

The book, first printed in 2004, contains 17 ghost stories, all but one located in Goulbourn, either Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Ashton or Dwyer Hill.

In his introduction to the book, author Bernie Shaw notes that Goulbourn township itself is what could be termed a ghost township since it disappeared from official view in 2000 with the creation

of the new amalgamated city of Ottawa.

He explains in the introduction that the stories in the book have been collected from many sources, acknowledging that while factual information on ghosts is scare, the people who shared their stories found in the book did recount experiences that they genuinely believe to be true.

Proceeds from the sale of this reprinting of the book will go towards the work of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society in preserving and documenting local history.

55 yard pass and run for Sacred Heart touchdown John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - The final score may have been 39-6 for the other guys but it was the 6 that was the high point of the game for the Sacred Heart High School Huskies. And what made it so exciting was not only that the six points marked the football team’s first touchdown of the season

but also how the touchdown was scored.

It came as the result of an electrifying 55 yard pass and run play with Huskies quarterback Bailey Greer throwing to wide receiver Kyle Davenport who was in behind the defenders and then outraced them to the end zone for the touchdown.

When this happened late in the second quarter, the Hus-

kies were down 24-0 to the visiting Holy Trinity High School squad.

It had been a tough second quarter for the Huskies to that point, as the two teams entered the quarter even at 0-0 after a scoreless first quarter.

But Holy Trinity scored early in the second quarter and then added two more touchdowns on long pass and run plays to pull ahead of the

Huskies. A safety touch when the Huskies’ Marino Palarchio was tackled in the end zone added another two points to the Holy Trinity total.

In the second half, Holy Trinity scored on a 30 yard pass and run play and also on a 15 yard running play and

even added a field goal to end up the game with 39 points and a 39-6 victory over the Huskies in this high school senior football league game.

The Huskies are now winless in their three games, losing 34-0 to St. Joseph High School and 59-0 to St. Pius X

Councillor Qadri supports casino but not downtown John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - He wants a casino in Ottawa but not downtown. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the view of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri.

In last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote at Ottawa city council about having a casino in the municipality, councillor Qadri voted in favour.

But speaking at the Stittsville Village Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly executive meeting on Thursday, Oct. 11, he made it clear that while he voted in support of having a casino in the

city, he will not support that casino being in a downtown location.

He said that he does not think that there is room downtown, given that casinos rely on free parking which requires a lot of space.

He said that he has no problems with the casino being at the Rideau Carleton Raceway site except that he would not support that location if Scotiabank Place, the home of the Ottawa Senators, is put forward as a site.

He said that his preference is to have a casino located at Scotiabank Place if it owners put forward a proposal for such a facility. He

said that Scotiabank Place has good access via highway 417 and also the nearby highway 416.

He said that a casino would provide jobs and noted that Scotiabank Place is already an entertainment hub for the city.

Who is better at entertaining people than the Ottawa Senators, he asked rhetorically.

Councillor Qadri pointed out that with regard to the Rideau Carleton Raceway, the provincial government has already announced that the horse racing industry will be losing its government subsidies as of next April. This will happen whether a casino goes there or not.

Now that Ottawa city council has indicated the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in hosting a casino, the Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) will now be asking for the submission of proposals from private enterprise for such a casino. One proposal will be endorsed by the OLG with Ottawa city council then having the ďŹ nal decision.

Councillor Qadri said that saying no to having a casino would put the city in the position of again missing the boat, just like the city did 20 years ago when it rejected a casino and a casino was then built in Gatineau.

City commenting on new landfill John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Amber Hill, in her Halloween costume, holds the graham cracker haunted house which she made at a previous Mansion Mayhem event at the Goulbourn Museum as she sits beside an inflated monster. The Goulbourn Museum is holding a Mansion Mayhem event on Sunday, Oct. 28.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mansion Mayhemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Special to the News

EMC news - A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chillingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tour of the Goulbourn Museum is among the Halloween oriented activities that will be part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mansion Mayhemâ&#x20AC;? on Sunday, Oct. 28.

This is a celebration of Halloween at the Goulbourn Museum, with an afternoon of crafts, games and frights.

Mansion Mayhem is a workshop where youngsters aged 6-10 arrive in costume.

They get to decorate graham cracker haunted houses to take home, to make creepy decorations, to play spooky games and, yes, go on that chilling tour of the Museum.

The charge for the work-

shop is only $20 per child with parents not required to stay on site. The workshop will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The event is filling up fast, so quick action to reserve a spot is recommended. Reservations can be arranged by calling 613-831-2393 or by emailing education@goulbournmuseum.

The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road just south of Stittsville.

Huntley Road is the southern extension of Stittsville Main Street.

For more information, please visit www.goulbournmuseum.ca or call 613-8312393.

EMC news - The city of Ottawa will be submitting comments on Waste Managementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environmental Assessment (EA) for a new landfill at its Carp Road site.

A staff report outlining these comments was dealt with at Ottawa city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s environment committee meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

While calling the EA â&#x20AC;&#x153;well written and comprehensive,â&#x20AC;? the report does outline a number of concerns related to the EA. These deal with odour control at the site, property value protection, prioritization of waste diversion activities, the proposed process for project amendment, the extent of the service area for the new landfill site, the need for site plan control approval from the city, traffic on Carp Road, reporting of complaints and problems related to ground water and surface water impacts on and around the site, establishment of a public liai-

son committee, a new agreement between the city and Waste Management about leachate generation, waste diversion, site capacity and a moratorium on any future expansions at the site.

The city report wants to see a property value protection plan covering all residences within a five kilometer radius of the new landfill.

The city report also wants to see the proposed service area for the new landfill site restricted to the city of Ottawa and Lanark county.

The city report is asking that the overall approved capacity for this new landfill site be reduced from the requested 6.5 million cubic metres to 5 million cubic metres.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, talking about this city staff report at the meeting of the Stittsville Village Association on Thursday, Oct. 11, said that some of the comments in the report such as restricting the size of the new landfill and limiting its service area are

excellent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am happy with the city comments here,â&#x20AC;? he said about the report but added the caveat that he still opposes any expansion of landfill operations at the Carp Road site.

The city of Ottawa, along with members of the public and government agencies, have until Friday, Nov. 2 to submit comments to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) on the EA. The MOE will then have five weeks to review the EA and decide whether the project should be approved.

The MOE will then publish its decision and interested parties will have five weeks to provide comments on the decision.

After this five week comment period on the MEO review, the Minister of the Environment will have up to

13 weeks to make a decision on the project. The Minister can refer it to mediation, can refer it to the Environmental Review Tribunal for a hearing or can decide to approve or reject the EA. Waste Management announced the initiation of this EA for a new landfill at its Carp Road site in April, 2010.

Waste Management submitted proposed Terms of Reference for this EA to the MOE in June, 2010. Waste Management received MOE approval to proceed with the EA in November, 2010. The EA study was initiated in January 2011 with a draft EA released in March, 2012. Waste Management submitted the final EA to the MOE on Sept. 14, 2012, beginning the current public comment period which is now underway until Friday, Nov. 2.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening soon

A public visioning workshop about the new Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street will be held on Thursday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena hall in Stittsville. Hear an overview of the Community Design Plan process and have your input into the process that will shape the future of Stittsville Main Street.

Taylor Cavanagh wants a happy school john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Taylor Cavanagh has a simple reason for wanting to be involved in the student leadership at her school, Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. She wants to have a say in what goes on at the school with the goal of making it a happy place with lots of school spirit. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat that.

The 15 year old grade ten student wants her school to be a place where everyone feels a sense of belonging and where students get to know each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something great about everyone,â&#x20AC;? Taylor says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want something for everyone to belong in,â&#x20AC;? she says about her vision for Sacred Heart.

Taylor, who was the valedictorian for her grade six class at Guardian Angels

Catholic School in Stittsville, served as co-prime minister of her student council in grade eight at Sacred Heart.

Last year she was a student council representative for grade nine and this year she is a student council deputy, chosen by the head boy and head girl to help with leadership duties.

Taylor hopes to be able to run for the position of head girl, not for next year but for the next year when she will be in grade 12.

As for life after Sacred Heart, Taylor has the dream of being an architect and has her sights set on attending either Harvard or Yale since they are among the best universities for architecture. She realizes that getting admitted to one of these top universities will be a challenge but she is prepared to work hard to accomplish this and indeed she does work hard on her schooling.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I care a lot about my marks,â&#x20AC;? she says, while admitting that mathematics is her favourite subject. She likes the fact that there is always a right answer in math. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the yes and no,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Her love for architecture steams from her appreciation for houses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love looking at houses,â&#x20AC;?

Taylor says, something that she does with her mother. In addition, she likes reading magazines on houses and she even now tries her hand at drawing houses.

But architecture is not Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only interest.

A competitive swimmer, she swims three times a week with the Goulbourn Sea Hawks. She admits that she has tried a number of activities over the years, ranging from dancing to gymnastics to horseback riding to soccer to piano playing, but it is swim-

ming that she has stuck with.

She plans to continue with swimming while at Sacred Heart and then perhaps be involved with a swimming team at university.

She does hope to become a lifeguard, feeling that the skills that she learns to be a lifeguard are important skills to have, whether in or out of the water.

Taylor played football for Sacred Heart last year and this year she hopes to be involved with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rugby team as well as its swim team.

She says that family and friends are important to her.

She still has friends who started with her in kindergarten at Guardian Angels and are still friends at Sacred Heart, along with new friends.

As for her family, she admits to getting along well with her parents and also being something of a role model

for her younger brother and sister.

Another important aspect of her family life is her dog named Bruce, a pug/poodle mix who likes to cuddle. Taylor was shopping at Bayshore on a snow day when she was in grade six and Bruce was a spontaneous purchase at a pet store there. And it turned out to be a great decision and purchase. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the perfect dog in my mind,â&#x20AC;? Taylor says about Bruce.

Productive pre-season for Cobina Delaney Special to the News

EMC sports - Cobina Delaney of Stittsville has wound up a productive pre-season with the Robert Morris University Colonials womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team.

Cobina ended up with six points in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four preseason exhibition games, including a four point effort against the Oakville Hornets of the Ontario Provincial Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey League last weekend. Cobina, who is in her senior year at Robert Morris University this year, scored a goal and added three assists in this game against Oakville.

In fact, her goal and two of

her assists came in the ďŹ rst 12 minutes of play in the game.

C o bina, a graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, is playing her ďŹ rst of four seasons at Robert Morris University without having her older sister Brianna as a teammate.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It all started when Emerson brought the book home from the Renfrew library. While the rest of us picked story books, mine with pictures, Emerson always wanted a book about buildings.

Now, there wasn’t a large choice of books on buildings at the Renfrew library, and that day Emerson found one, all about some huge structure in Italy, it changed his life drastically.

Emerson loved buildings. Mother managed somehow to buy him big pads of plain white paper and he spent hours drawing buildings. We would watch him at the old pine table at night drawing towers of glass. Poor Emerson, we’d say. Who ever heard of glass buildings? Who ever heard of towers made completely of windows and some with elevators going up the outside? We’d think how odd Emerson was, not like the rest of us

Old tilted silo bore resemblance to Italian structure who were content to look through the Eaton’s catalogue or play cars. No, Emerson drew buildings.

The book was all about some strange building in Italy, called the Tower of Pisa. Emerson was spellbound, not because it was so tall and was built in some strange country, but because it had a lean to it. He sat at the table every night gazing at the Tower of Pisa and even drew it on his white sheets of paper. Little did we know at the time what he had in mind.

“We have one just like it. Right here on this here farm,” he announced after about three nights of gazing at the pictures in the book. No one paid him any heed.

It was the next day -- a Saturday. Emerson, after his chores had been done, came in to the house and gathered up his sheets of paper and the book on the Tower of Pisa and headed outside.

“I have something to show you,” he announced to anyone within earshot. Earl and I were the only ones interested and we followed Emerson with his sheets of paper through the summer kitchen. He headed right for the silo. There was an old stump

beside the silo -- I wouldn’t go near it with a 10-foot pole because that’s where the chickens got the axe.

Emerson knew I hated that part of the barn yard, so he went down the hill a few paces and beckoned Earl and me to follow.

The silo was in front of us. Emerson held up his pencil and squinted as he leveled it in his eyesight.

“See how the silo tilts? Just like that one in Italy. I wouldn’t be one bit surprised if whoever built it used the same plans as the tower in Italy. And maybe even had a hand in helping building this one here.”

While that made perfect sense to me, Earl was much less impressed.

“The one in Italy is made of stone,” Earl said. “This here silo is made of old pieces of lumber and Emerson, you know as well as I do that the reason it’s tilted is because it’s over 100 years old and was built on a bit of a hill.”

Besides, he added, “our great grandfather built the silo when he came from Germany. This here silo has nothing to do with a building in Italy.”

Now, as well as liking to draw buildings, Emerson also liked to hold funerals for anything that passed away on the farm. Dead birds found out on the grass, even a frog that was found in a rain barrel at the back of the house, were all subjected to Emerson’s idea of a fitting funeral.

Again, Audrey and Everett refused to have any part of Emerson’s idea of a proper burial, but Earl and I being the youngest of the children, were riveted to any crazy scheme our brother had that would add a bit of excitement to our lives on that farm in Northcote.

I had no idea if Emerson made it up or if it was actually in the book from the library, but he said funerals were held in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and from now on, any funeral he would be conducting would be in front of our old wood silo.

Just like they had in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Well, as luck would have it, a few days later, Mother had ordered Everett to get some chickens to take into her customers in Renfrew. That meant a trip to the stump behind the silo. Emerson decided these poor chickens needed a proper funeral and we would all meet behind the silo as Everett wielded the axe.

I was having no part of it. Earl, who was as squeamish as I was when it came to beheading the chickens, said he had chores to do and the last I saw of Earl he was heading for the barn. I was already getting on an apron in the kitchen and looking for something to do.

Emerson showed his disgust by stomping outside with his papers in hand, heading for the silo, looking for something to bury. There wasn’t a dead bird or any other dead critter in sight and he had to give up on the idea of holding a funeral in front of the silo that day, because Everett said if he came within a country mile of the stump, Emerson could help with the slaughter.

Well, Emerson was as squeamish as Earl and me and the only thing he was interested in burying or holding a funeral for was something that was already dead. We were all saved from another discussion about future funerals held behind the silo, because like everyone else who borrowed a book from the Renfrew library, Emerson had to take the book about the Leaning Tower of Pisa back in a week or pay a cent for every day it was overdue. It was the last we heard of the likeness between our old tilted silo and some stone tower in Italy.

Fall supper Special to the News

EMC news - This Saturday, Oct. 20 is the date for a fall

Throw them out to avoid possible contamination of other foods. * To tenderize beef stew, add one or two tomatoes to the pot. Tomatoes contain an acid that breaks down meat and tenderizes it naturally. * If your glass or plastic cutting board slides across the kitchen counter when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using it, dampen a dish cloth, and lay it on the counter under the cutting board. This also works on the large plastic sheets when rolling out pastry on them. * If you have one of the large rectangular glass or plastic cutting board, measure its length and width.

Many are just the right size for rolling out dough into a rectangle for making pastries such as cinnamon rolls. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also handy for making French bread when the dough needs to be shaped by rolling it back and forth on a flat surface. * Which brings us to King Louis XV of France.

According to one story, he was so afraid of being poisoned that he had several servants taste his food before he ate it. By the time the soup reached him, it was cold.

He liked it so much that he had it served cold from then on. That -- supposedly -- is why the creamy French potato soup, vichysoisse, is always served chilled.

There will be two sittings for this supper: one at 4:30 p.m. and a second at 6 p.m.

Anyone wishing tickets for this supper should contact Mary Tubman at 613-8385473.

Occasionally instead of passing along a recipe, I write a column filled with kitchen shortcuts and helpful tips. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come across some interesting bit of food trivia, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll include that as well.

This week, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take you from graham wafer crusts to King Louis XV of France. * When you need to press a graham wafer crust into a springform pan, sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find just the right tool.

If you use your fingertips, they get greasy and covered with crumbs. A fork doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get right to the edge of the pan, and it flattens only a small area at a time. * One of the best tools is a round potato masher, the kind that has square holes, not curved lines of wire. The curved shape fits the edges of the springform pan and the large size covers a bigger area with each impression. * Another handy item to keep on hand in your kitchen is a box of thin latex gloves, the kind that food preparers use in commercial establishments.

Put on a pair of gloves whenever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re handling a messy mixture in the kitchen. Whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pressing crumbs into a springform pan, shaping meatballs, working with dough or mixing meatloaf, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll let you get right in there with your hands, yet keep them clean.

A word of caution:, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t re-use gloves that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used on raw meat, fish or poultry.

IN MEMORIAM In memory of our dad, grandpa and papa, Doug Davis who died 2 years ago on October 20, 2010 Memories of The Heart Feel no guilt in laughter, He knows how much you care.

Feel no sorrow in a smile That he’s not here to share.

You cannot grieve forever, He would not want you to.

He’d hope that you would carry on The way you always do.

So talk about the good times And the ways you showed you cared.

The days you spent together, All the happiness you shared.

Let the memories surround you, A word someone may say Will suddenly recapture A time, an hour, a day.

That brings him back as clearly As though he were still here, And fills you with the feelings That he is always near.

For if you keep those memories You will never be apart And he will live forever Locked safe within your heart Love You and Miss You Debbie, Penny, Patti-Jo, Kerry & Melanie and Families

Taurus, there’s so much to get done this week that you may not know where to begin. Making a list of your responsibilities may help you get organized.

Gemini, you may be on the fence about making a large purchase, but the stars indicate that now could be a good time to buy and things will work in your favor financially.

Cancer, instead of rushing along through the daily grind, take some time to slow down and enjoy the scenery along the way. This will help you clear your head and relax.

Leo, the weekend will not be fun unless you finish up all of your work at the office. Don’t procrastinate and leave all the difficult tasks until next week.

Libra, whether feedback from work is positive or negative, rest assured that hard work will ultimately garner some recognition. Keep working hard and all will work out.

No one is going to know how you feel unless you speak up, Scorpio. Don’t slink into the shadows; get out in the open and have your voice heard.

Projects around the house seem to grow with every passing day, Sagittarius. If you do not think you can get them all done on your own, it may be time to hire a professional.

Experiencing car troubles, Capricorn? This may be the ideal time to go shopping for a new vehicle. A new ride can lift your spirits and put to rest those fears about your current vehicle.

Don’t work yourself silly, Aquarius. It’s good to be productive and company-minded, but not if it comes at the price of your health. Recharge before you tackle anything else.

Pisces, while it can be challenging to sit idle, lazy days are very often great ways to catch up on some rest and personal time.

Fun By The Numbers Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
