Special to the News

News - If your door bell sounds this Sunday, Oct. 27, it could be your opportunity to support the Stittsville Legion’s poppy campaign.

That’s because between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., teams of youth will be out and about in Stittsville, going door to door in all areas seeking donations to the Legion’s poppy fund while distributing poppies.

This marks the beginning of the Stittsville Legion’s annual poppy campaign which runs for two weeks before Remembrance Day on Nov. 11.

In the past, this door to door canvass of the village has been undertaken by Stittsville Minor Hockey Association youth. This year, for the first time, there will be youth from other community groups involved, such as Brownies and Guides, ringette and other sports teams.

Stittsville residents are urged to be receptive and generous when these youth appear on your doorstep this coming Sunday, Oct. 27. They are not only helping the Stittsville Legion in its mandate to carry out a poppy campaign but also are themselves learning the importance and significance of the poppy to Remembrance in Canada.

The poppy has been widely recognized as a symbol of Remembrance in Canada since it was first adopted in this role in 1921. By wearing a poppy, Canadians demonstrate their thanks to those who gave their lives in war for the freedom that everyone enjoys today.

The basic purpose of poppy funds is to provide assistance to ex-servicemen, women and their families when in need. This may include food, shelter or medical attention.

Funds raised in this annual poppy campaign is also used for educational bursaries, comforts for veterans in hospital, medical appliances or facilities such as ramps into homes, medical research, medical training, donations for disaster relief, prizes for the Legion’s annual Remembrance Day poster and literary contests and support for the Legion’s Service Bureau Office.

Each year for two weeks before Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, Legions branches through Canada carry out poppy campaigns. The campaign is meant to raise awareness of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance.

Remembrance Day is observed on Nov. 11 and, more specifically, usually at the 11th hour of this 11th day of the 11th month each year.

Red arrows point the way in Artists Studio Tour Special to the News

News - There were red arrows pointing this way and that way throughout Stittsville last weekend.

No, these weren’t directional arrows for last Saturday’s 9 RUN RUN emergency services event which used the streets of Stittsville.

Rather, these arrows were directional aides to

help people find their way to the home studios of six Stittsville artists participating in the tenth annual Stittsville Artists Studio Tour.

This is a self-directed tour in which those wishing to visit the homes and see the artwork of the six participating artists can choose the timetable and route that they wish. They can visit all six artists or just a couple of them – whatever they want.

The only thing that is set down for this tour is that it happens on the Saturday and Sunday (last Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20 this year) between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. on each day.

The six participating artists on this year’s Stittsville Artists Studio Tour were Diane Dean on Hartsmere Drive, Judy Dana on Shipley

Crescent, Frances Taylor on Kintail Court, Josie Braden on Glen Abbey Court and Vera van Baaren and Bernice Wills, both on Plainfield Court.

The artists on this year’s tour all featured different styles, adding to the attraction of the tour for those participating.

Taking part in the tour is free, with everyone welcome to participate if they wish.

To help with the organization of the tour, the artists received support from a number of sponsors this year 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 Crytal Nails, Farm Boy and NEXT Restaurant.

NOTICE OF COMPLETION Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) Carp Snow Disposal Facility Background In January 2012, the City of Ottawa initiated a study to establish a new snow disposal facility in the City’s west end. The City’s strategic snow disposal plan (2002) had identified the need to provide for 308,000 m3 of disposal capacity within one or more snow disposal facilities in the west end. This MCEA study was conducted as a Schedule B project in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment, as amended 2011, an approved process under the Environmental Assessment Act.

Jim Wagdin, left, former longtime president of the Bell Warriors Football Club, presents a $1,000 cheque representing an annual Jim Wagdin Bell Warriors Post-Secondary Scholarship to recipient Stefano Napolitano, centre, of Stittsville as current Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart, right, looks on.

Warriors scholarship Special to the News

Sports - Stefano Napolitano of Stittsville considers himself a Bell Warrior for life.

That’s because he feels that his seven years of playing in the Bell Warriors football program not only allowed him to become a skilful football player but also a person with a good character and a leader.

Now attending Carleton University where he is playing with the football Carleton Ravens, Stefano has received a $1,000 Jim Wagdin Bell Warriors Post-Secondary Scholarship, one of two of these annual scholarships presented by the Bell Warriors Football Club.

Criteria used to determine the recipients of these two annual scholarships are academics, Warrior experience and community involvement.

“He was a tremendous Warrior on the field and his values exemplify what our proud club stands for off the field,” says Bell Warriors president Paul Stewart in speaking about Stefano Napolitano.

Stefano began playing for the Bell Warriors when he was ten years old and ended up playing with the Warriors for seven seasons. He

says that three of the things that he learned in his time with the Bell Warriors are teamwork, discipline and perseverance.

Stefano graduate from Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville last June with over 80 hours of community service. His volunteer work including helping with Christmas food hampers, lending a hand at various charity functions, helping out with Bell Warriors parade floats and helping to coach young Warrior players. He intends to return to the Bell Warriors organization in the future to serve as a coach.

The Bell Warriors Football Club introduced its post-secondary scholarship program in 1999. Over the years, $26,000 has been given to Warrior alumni to support their post-secondary education studies.

In 2012, the Bell Warriors named the scholarships in honour of longtime president and head coach Jim Wagdin who gave over 20 years of service to the Warriors in various capacities.

Since 1955, the Bell Warriors Football Club has offered football programs for youth ages 8 to 16 years, drawing its players from the communities of Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia.

Public Open House (POH#1) was held in February 2013 to present the problem definition. Public Open House # 2 was held August 6th 2013 to present the results of the various site investigations undertaken during 2012/2013 to characterize the site and the environment; identify the alternative designs and mitigative measures being evaluated; and describe the recommended preferred design/solution. Both POHs were held at the Goulbourn Municipal Building Council Chambers at 2135 Huntley Road, Ottawa ON. Information presented at the POHs is available on the City of Ottawa website (see below for link).

The recommended solution involves the development of a snow disposal facility (SDF) on a 23.4ha property located at civic address 2125 Carp Road that can accommodate approximately 350,000 m3 of snow collected from Kanata and nearby areas. The SDF development will include a 1-2ha meltwater pond to treat the runoff from the snow melt and a 4-5ha stormwater pond to treat storm water from on-site and off-site sources. Several mitigative measures have been proposed to minimize impacts from the SDF development and include a right-turn deceleration lane along Westbrook road, improving drainage beneath Westbrook Road, construction of a berm along the east property limit to mitigate noise, landscaping along the east and north limits for visual screening, and a liner beneath the meltwater pond and its outlet to protect groundwater quality.

Comments received from the POHs and from the agency circulation, the public and other participants have been incorporated into the final report. All comments received were collected in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and the Environmental Assessment Act, and have become part of the public record.

The final report is available for public review at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/carp-snow-disposal-facility-0 City of Ottawa Client Service Centre 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa, K1P 1J1 Ottawa Public Library, Stittsville Branch, 1637 Stittsville Main Ottawa ON K2S 1A9 (telephone 613-836-3381 for hours) This project is being planned in accordance with Schedule B of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2011). If concerns arise regarding this project, which cannot be resolved in discussion with the municipality, a person or party may request that the Minister of the Environment make an order for the project to comply with Part II of the Environmental Assessment Act (referred to as a Part II Order), which addresses individual environmental assessments. Requests must be received by the Minister at the address below within 30 calendar days of the first publication of this Notice. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City contact below. If there is no request received within the designated time (no later than November 24th, 2013), the City will proceed to detailed design and construction.

Bell Mobility proposes tower at quarry for wireless network John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Bell Mobility wants to erect a telecommunication tower at the Thomas Cavanagh Construction quarry at the corner of Munster Road and Fallowfield Road in Goulbourn.

This new 75 metre tall guyed telecommunication tower will be grey in colour with no lighting on top. There will be a mechanical equipment shelter building a little over six feet square at the base of the tower, enclosed by a two metre high fence. This shelter building, which will be locked, alarmed and electronically monitored.

The tower will be used to provide signals for Bell Mobility’s 4G high speed wireless voice and data network. This includes wireless services for both cellular and high speed internet users.

This new tower is required so that Bell Mobility can provide a reliable and seamless transmission signal to users with no gaps in coverage. Gaps in coverage result in dropped calls and unavailable service to clients.

It is possible that other communications com-

panies may share the use of this new tower.

Bell Mobility looked into using existing structures in the area rather than erecting a new tower. However, existing towers or buildings tall enough to serve the needed purpose are either too far from the area to be covered or are not high enough to meet Bell Mobility’s needs.

Bell Mobility has worked with the city of Ottawa to identify the best place to locate this tower in order to meet the needs of its customers while also being acceptable to area residents.

According to the Radio Communication Act, wireless installations such as this proposed tower are exclusively regulated by the federal government.

This means that Industry Canada is responsible for the approval of this new communications tower. Industry Canada requires Bell Mobility to review the proposal with the public and with the municipality.

Written comments from the public should be submitted before Nov. 5, 2013 to Bell Mobility, Public Consultation, c/o Daniel Brassard, 200 Bouchard Blvd., Dorval, Que. H9S 5X5 or via email at consultation@bell.ca or phone 1-514778-6536.

Jonathan Mudde, right, of Stittsville tries to grab the flags of passing runners during the first-ever zombie Run for Humanity on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the former Nepean Equestrian Park on Corkstown Road. Runners and walkers tried their best to avoid the zombies like Jonathan during the fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity – National Capital Region. The Equestrian Park’s fenced pathways and dark, creepy woods made it hard for runners and walkers to avoid the lurking zombies who grabbed at the three flags worn by the participants. Losing all three flags meant runners and walkers became part of the “undead” at the finish line. More than 300 people took part in the event.

New ‘Dolphin Tale Child Care’ on Iber Road John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - She loves dolphins and her dream has been to own her own child care centre.

So, when the opportunity arose to realize her dream, you know that there was a good chance that the name just might involve her beloved dolphins.

And that’s just what has happened. Zahra Mahamed’s new child care centre in Stittsville is called “Dolphin Tale Child Care.”

She said that when she took her family to Marineland, they loved the dolphins. They later even watched a movie about dolphins. Indeed,

it was her children who suggested her new child care centre be named after dolphins. She added “tale” as in a story and the name was born: “Dolphin Tale Child Care.”

“We love dolphins,” she declared when explaining how the name was created at a grand opening open house which was held at the new Dolphin Tale Child Care at 59 Iber Road in Stittsville last Saturday. There was a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. followed by an open house running through to 2 p.m.

Ms. Mahamed, an early childhood educator (ECE) who lives in Barrhaven, said that in trying to realize her dream of owning her own child care centre, she looked for a community

where there was a high need for more child care facilities. Stittsville met her criteria and when she found the premises available on Iber Road, her dream became reality.

But it was not without some delays as she first found the premises in May 2012. However, there were zoning issues, application for a child care centre license and also three months of renovation work. This is because the premises was just one big open space which she had to renovate to accommodate her new child care centre. This meant installing all of the walls, plumbing and other features of the facility.

But, boy, did it ever work out!

Dolphin Tale Child Care now has three rooms – one for infants, one for toddlers and one for pre-schoolers – that together are able to accommodate children from three months of age right through to four years of age.

Each room features not only bright, brand new equipment and furniture but also brightly painted walls.

The corridor linking all of the rooms is bright yellow with yellow floor tiles spotted with red and blue tiles here and there. The door frame mouldings leading into the various rooms are a bright green. It all makes for a most colourful and bright environment that just emanates happiness.

The premises at Dolphin Tale Child Care also three more rooms that will be put to use when and as the child care centre reaches its maximum licensed capacity of 87 children.

Dolphin Tale Child Care has a fenced-in exterior play area just outside its Iber Road premises and it also has its own kitchen area and cook where all of the snacks and lunches for the children will be prepared.

The infant room has an area where there are crib-like beds for the youngest of the children being cared for at Dolphin Tale Child Care.

Dolphin Tale Child Care has lots of parking space where parents can park or stop while dropping off their child or children at Dolphin Tale Child Care.

Dolphin Tale Child Care aims to provide quality child care, delivered by professional qualified teachers. Care will include two snacks and a hot lunch provided daily. There will also be plenty of learning and fun activities for the children who attend, ages three months to four years old.

Registration can be done online or by calling as there are still some spaces available.

Dolphin Tale Child Care is located at 59 Iber Road in Stittsville. It can be contacted by phone at 613-831-4144 or online at www.dolphintalechildcare.ca .

Transit an essential school service

A

plan to fund bus service for the Ottawa public school board’s high school students is a welcome change to an inequitable system.

The board’s committee of the whole approved a plan to provide bus service for an estimated 5,300 eligible high school students last week.

Currently, parents of high school students who attend public schools must pay the costs of their children’s bus passes if they reside inside the urban transit boundary, defined as living within one kilometre of an OC Transpo bus stop – unless their school lies outside of it and is more than 3.2 kiolmetres away from their home.

This amounts to nearly $780 per child over a 10month period, which might not seem like much to some, but the cost can be onerous depending on the number of high school-age children and the families’ economic circumstances.

While the board offers financial assistance to economically-challenged families, some might be afraid or embarrassed to ask for help.

It’s hardly an original idea. The English Catholic board already provides bus service for its high school students. The plan is a natural next step for the board to take after combining with the Catholic board to

streamline its bus system under the Ottawa Student Transportation Authority.

The board is hoping the change will improve attendance at some schools and address an “inequity� caused by the lack of bus service in urban parts of Ottawa.

But the move comes with a $4.2-million price tag, money the board hopes to recoup from the Ministry of Education through upgrading its transit needs from moderate to moderate-to-high.

Until then, the board will dip into other funding sources, such as its capital reserve fund.

Granted, it’s a gamble. Superintendent of facilities Mike Carson said the board is currently overspending its transportation budget by $2.8 million – tacking on the cost of bus service for high school students would bring that shortfall to $7 million.

Potentially, the board can expect to receive $6.3 million from the ministry, reducing that deficit to $700,000. If the ministry refuses to upgrade the transportation funding, the board will be forced to either scrap the project or pare down its budget to make financial room.

Really, it all boils down to the question of whether providing busing is a nice-to-have or an essential service for students.

Just another routinely awesome occurrence

I

was in a restaurant the other day and the guy asked me if I wanted anything to drink. Just water, I said. “Awesome,� he said. “I’ll be right back with your water.� “That’s super,� I said.

And then I thought about the conversation.

Was it really awesome that I’d ordered a glass of water? Was it really super that he was going to bring it?

In today’s terms, yes. As the comedian Louis CK puts it: “We go right to the top shelf with our words now.� He has a routine which, if you can stand a few bad words (he goes right to the top shelf with them too), is very funny. Awesome, actually, in comparison with some of the things that are usually described as hilarious.

Speaking of which, he points out that “hilarious� is now used to describe almost anything. “I saw Bob today.� “That’s hilarious.�

And he really gets going on the word “amazing,� which thankfully I didn’t use to describe the water when it finally arrived. “What if Jesus comes down from the sky ... ?� he asks. “What are you gonna call that? You used ‘amazing’ on a basket of chicken wings.�

Where all this comes from is anybody’s

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town guess, but we’re all guilty of it. Maybe it comes from television advertising, which is awash in superlatives. Maybe it comes from sports broadcasting, where every event is spectacular, thrilling and sensational, if it is not tragic, and there is not a moment in any game which cannot be described as crucial.

A couple of weeks ago, Ontario customers lost their Rogers wireless service for several hours, an event that received ample news coverage. “It was hell,� one subscriber said.

Really? What would starvation be like?

Wherever language inflation comes from, we’ve absorbed it and employ it daily. It probably doesn’t do much harm except, as noted, that when something truly awesome happens we don’t have a word for it we haven’t already used many times.

Swearing is a bit like that too. Those of us who practice it often find that we’ve used the strongest terms possible on some trivial thing like a nail that won’t go in straight. There’s nothing stronger to use on something truly horrible, like Carling Avenue.

Language inflation has sparked some countervailing trends, such as the use of reverse imagery among the hipper segment of the population. Something good is bad. Something really good is sick. But inflation sets in here as well: things are often described as sick when they aren’t even bad.

There is also a danger of confusion in the use of this kind of vocabulary. What if the player you’re describing as bad really is bad — that is, bad-bad as opposed to bad-good? How do you differentiate? What if somebody is sick-ill, as opposed to sick-bad-good? It could take a while to figure out if a doctor is needed.

You can see what amazing thoughts can follow from a simple glass of water in a restaurant. Another way of approaching the situation is through the use of understatement.

You hear this often in reference to athletes and musicians. Among jazz musicians, the supreme compliment that can be bestowed on another is: “She can play.�

That’s good, because it leaves a lot in

reserve, in case she can really play. But I’m not sure it can be applied in all situations. For example, could I have said: “You can pour� when the server brought the water?

And later, when the server asks the table how the meal is, could you say: “He can cook,� rather than: “This is awesome�?

These days, it could be perceived as an insult. Which brings us back to the original situation: the ordering of the water. Could you get away with a simple thank-you, or is that being rude?

These are incredible problems, you have to admit.

Letter: United Way Ottawa explains Editor: In response to the editorial â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Way needs clear goalsâ&#x20AC;? in the Oct. 3, 2013 issue of the Stittsville News, United Way Ottawa set an objective this year to change the lives of more than 76,000 people in our community by raising the $21 million needed to achieve this. Yes, it is true that $21 million is less than $30-plus million goal of the previous year. However, comparing these two fundraising goals is like comparing apples and oranges.

In the past, United Way set a fundraising goal based on how much we thought we could raise.

This goal included the donations we hoped to attract to the work of United Way and the donations we collect on behalf of other registered charities. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is much different.

It is only for donations given for the work of United Way and it does not include donations collected by United Way on behalf of other registered charities.

Last year, donors contributed $16.8 million to United Way to advance our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s priority goals. This year, we aim to raise $21 million, a goal for which we can be transparent, accountable and demonstrate measurable results.

Three years ago, through research and consultations, United Way defined the needs in our community and established priority goals for our work with others. These goals included helping more children and youth to succeed in school, ensuring more seniors can continue to live in their own homes and helping more of our neighbours facing a crisis in their lives to access

the support they need.

Since then, United Way has invested donor dollars in programs and initiatives that are linked to these goals. Today, based on the reports of our partners and our own ongoing research, we can show our donors that their donations produce results.

We are proud of these results.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one result. Research shows that one in five children in Ottawa live in poverty and many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to after-school homework support, recreation and social programs that help keep them off the streets, in school and safe. Last year, we invested almost $1.8 million in 23 front-line programs that directly helped more than 9,100 children and their families.

Reports about the children and youth in one homework club supported through donations to United Way show that two-thirds are doing better in school and more than 80 percent say they want to go to college or university.

We want our donors to know that their gifts to United Way are making our community measurably better. We also want them to know that with more donations, we can help more people to the benefit of everyone in our community.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we introduced a different kind of goal this year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often challenging and complex to explain change and our intention this year is to tell a much simpler story. Together we can help to change the lives of 76,000 people in our community.

Michael Allen President and CEO, United Way Ottawa

Patients wanted for study Special to the News

News - Moore Chiropractic Health Centre is launching a research study dealing with post concussion syndrome.

Specifically, this Moore Chiropractic research study will be studying the effects of upper cervical chiropractic care for post concussion syndrome.

This will be a three month study on the effects of correcting upper cervical alignment on post concussion syndrome.

Patients in this study will receive upper cervical chiropractic adjustments primarily over a three month period, during which they will be monitored regularly.

But right now, Moore Chiropractic Health Centre is looking for patients to be included in the study.

To participate, a person must have experienced post concussion symptoms of at least six

weeks in duration.

The initial assessment to determine if a person is a good candidate for the study will be done free by Moore Chiropractic, including any necessary x-rays.

Anyone who would like to participate in this study should contact the Moore Chiropractic Health Centre in Stittsville at 613-831-8374.

Upper cervical spinal alignment plays a major role in a number of ways relative to lingering concussion symptoms.

This includes blood flow to and from the brain, headaches, dizziness, poor concentration, altering sleep patterns, low energy, postural imbalance and neck pain.

The Moore Chiropractic Health Centre is located at 5912 Hazeldean Road at the Johnwood Street/Victor Street intersection.

A cappella music at Gaia Java John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Members of the a cappella group Harmonic Generation make music with their voices. But while they have no musical accompaniment in a performance, they augment their

music at times with snapping fingers, appropriate arm movements and even some music-inducing chest thumping by the six male singers in the 12 voice group.

The group filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville with a variety of musical offerings at the Gaia Java Friday music

NOW IS THE

TIME TO SWITCH!

evening last Friday, ranging from the Beatles to British singer Adele to the Canadian folk rock group Moxy Fruvous to the Swedish pop group Abba to John Lennon’s 1971 song “Imagine” to a medley of seven Michael Jackson songs including “Beat It” and “Billie Jean” to the 1986 Cydni Lauper hit “True Colors.”

But the hit of the show had to be Harmonic Generation’s rendition of “Monster Mash,” a 1962 novelty song which reached number one on the Billboard chart just before Halloween that year and has become a perennial Halloween favourite in the years since. With Halloween coming up, this “Monster Mash” was not only timely but it was great to hear this song originally done by one-hit wonder Bobby “Boris” Pickett and its mentions of vampires, zombies and ghouls. The song talks of the monster mash being a “graveyard smash”; at Gaia Java last Friday, it was a coffee shop smash.

One of Harmonic Generation’s opening songs was “Lady Madonna,” the Beatles song that was later covered by Fats Domino in 1968.

It is ironic that when Paul McCartney of the Beatles was writing the song, he was trying to

imitate Fats Domino and later Fats himself recorded the song.

Group member Laura Dufour was the featured soloist for the Adele hit “We Could Have Had It All,” which even Adele herself would have loved. Those at the coffee shop sure did!

The thought-provoking “Gulf War Song” was delivered with storytelling harmony which we are sure that Canadian broadcaster Jian Ghomeshi would have loved since he was involved with the original version as a member of the Canadian folk rock group Moxy Fruvous.

Harmonic Generation pulled out a golden oldie when the group sang “Fernando,” a hit for the Swedish pop group Abba. You know the one – “Can you hear the drums, Fernando?”

– which Harmonic Generation delivered with humour and fun.

Not all of the songs presented by Harmonic Generation were linked with famous singers.

Sean Jones took the lead on the traditional Scottish song “Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond” aka “You Take The High Road.”

Stittsville Pumpkin Parade on Friday, Nov. 1 John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Halloween will not be ending until Friday, Nov. 1 in Stittsville.

That’s because this year will see the inaugural Stittsville Pumpkin Parade held at Village Square Park in the heart of Stittsville on Friday, Nov. 1 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

All Stittsville residents are encouraged to bring the carved pumpkin (jack o’ lantern) used at home on Halloween to Village Square Park and have it displayed along with others. And even if you don’t have a jack o’ lantern on Halloween, you are encouraged to drop by Village Square Park that evening and see the jack o’lanterns on display. In fact, there will be voting for the best ones and everyone will be able to vote.

The carved pumpkins will be num-

bered and you simply have to make your way along the route lined with these pumpkins and select and vote for your favourite.

There will also be free hot chocolate served and donations to the Stittsville Food Bank will be accepted. Everyone is welcome to attend this inaugural community event and enjoy a last taste of Halloween fun.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and his team will be on hand to help organize the event. Pumpkins will able to be dropped off at the site after 4 p.m. that day.

And you will not have to worry about taking your pumpkin home.

The city of Ottawa will be collecting all of the pumpkins and will be composting them all.

Those planning to bring a jack o’ lantern to this first-ever Stittsville

Pumpkin Parade are reminded that lit candles illuminating the carved pumpkins are not allowed at this event. However, electric candles will be supplied on site so that the jack o’lanterns will be able to glow that night. It should be quite a site.

This all came about when Stittsville resident Trevor Eggleton approached councillor Qadri with the suggestion and councillor Qadri got on board in support of the event.

Trevor says that he heard about and saw pictures of a similar event held in Toronto. He thought it was a great idea as it allows people to see more carved pumpkins than any one person can see at individual homes on Halloween night. It is also a way of extend the fun and awe of Halloween for another day.

“It’s an extension of Halloween which is kind of nice,” Trevor says,

noting that there is some uncertainty with this year’s inaugural event about how many pumpkins will be taken to Village Square for the Stittsville Pumpkin Parade. He says that his greatest fear is that only a few will show up but his hope is that hundreds will appear and that the event will continue and grow to be a Stittsville tradition.

Trevor says that the carved, lit pumpkins will be displayed in something of a maze pattern around Village Square so that people can stroll through winding paths lined with the pumpkins.

He admits that some of the carved pumpkins that he has seen in the past have been amazing, so he is really looking forward to this new Stittsville Pumpkin Parade where a lot of carved pumpkins will be on display side by side. It promises to be awe-

some.

Trevor hopes that everyone in the community will turn out for this event.

“It’s a simple community driven, community focused event,” he says, noting that Stittsville with its small town feel usually supports such endeavours.

Trevor himself has been busy putting up posters around the community publicizing the event in the hope that as many people as possible will bring their jack o’ lantern to this post-Hallowen event and enjoy this first ever Stittsville Pumpkin parade.

Again, it’s all slated to happen on Friday, Nov. 1, the day after Halloween, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street in Stittsville. Pumpkin drop off happens anytime after 4 p.m.

team emerge as champions in the 2013 Nepean Raiders Eric Leighton Memorial Tournament.

The RAMS were up against the Nepean Raiders White in the championship final.

Double overtime action settled nothing, so it meant a shootout which the Stittsville RAMS won, taking the tournament title with a 3-2 victory.

The Minor Atom RAMS had reached the

championship final by edging the Kanata Blazers 3-2 in overtime in semi-final action.

designated as such in the city’s Official Plan.

The Fernbank CDP does allow for the Shea Roads Woods area to be developed with low density residential housing if the area is not acquired by the city.

This Shea Road Woods urban natural area is one of only three such urban natural areas which city staff is recommending for outright purchase by the city. The others are the 8.2 hectare Armstrong Road South Woods and the 2.6 hectare Nantes Woods in Cumberland.

If the Shea Road Woods area was not acquired by the city and was developed for low density residential housing, the only accessible natural area for future residents of the Fernbank community would be eliminated.

City staff, in a report, points out that this Shea Road Woods area is well connected to the city’s pathway system via an adjacent hydro corridor. This means that this urban natural area would become a natural stopping point for pathway users.

The Shea Road Woods currently are privately owned which is why a municipal purchase is required if the area is to be saved from development.

Other urban natural feature areas which city staff is not recommending for municipal acquisition include two in Stittsville.

One is the 3.7 hectare Fernbank wetland straddling the urban-rural boundary in southwest Stittsville. A portion of this, about 22 hectares, is already in city ownership and zoned Environmental Protection (EP). This was accomplished partly through a land exchange in 2004.

Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 76 of the city of Ottawa implemented an Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) order by re-designating the privately owned portion of the Fernbank Wetland north of Fernbank Road from Significant Wetland to General Urban Area.

The city had originally considered acquisition of this privately owned portion of the Fernbank Wetland but a decision was made not to pursue its acquisition upon consideration of the change in land use designation to General Urban Area.

The landowner of this private portion of the Fernbank Wetland has currently submitted a development application to the city which is now proceeding through the planning process. Residents of the adjacent community have raised concerns about this proposed development with the concerns ranging from drainage to elevation to density to traffic.

The other urban natural feature area in Stittsville which city staff is not recommending for municipal acquisition is a 2.4 hectare portion of the Poole Creek corridor. This land is privately owned and designated General Urban Area in the city’s Official Plan.

The city owned portion of the Poole Creek corridor is zoned Environmental Protection (EP).

The privately owned portions are

mostly zoned Open Space with small portions zoned Residential or Traditional Mainstreet.

The portion not owned by the city is almost entirely constrained for development by the Poole Creek flood plain.

The city’s urban natural feature strategy has contributed significantly to the completion of the city’s urban greenspace network as identified in the city’s Greenspace Master Plan.

The original Urban Natural Area Environmental Evaluation Study by the city identified 192 urban natural areas. The Shea Road Woods area is an additional area identified through the Fernbank Community Design Plan.

These 193 urban natural areas cover 2816 hectares. Of these 2816 hectares, the city’s urban natural feature strategy proposed 1726 hectares be protected. The rest of the land is expected to be lost to previously approved or planned development.

Of the 1726 hectares of urban natural areas targeted for protection, 16 areas were privately owned. The city’s strategy prioritized 149.2 hectares of these features for possible acquisition by the city.

Almost all of these areas were considered to have moderate or high environmental value but were also thought to be at risk of future development.

To date, the city has acquired 49.8 hectares of these highest priority urban natural areas at a cost of $21.1 million. The city feels that this acquisition policy has achieved moderate success but that the purchases have been characterized by a declining benefit-cost radio. The city has been unable to secure some urban natural feature areas and some of the areas acquired have been more expensive than anticipated.

The city has also used other tools to implement its strategy of protecting these urban natural areas.

Incorporation of provincial natural heritage policies into the city’s Official Plan has relieved the city of the necessity to acquire some properties since they are now constrained from development.

The city has also located other greenspace features such as parks and naturalized storm water ponds adjacent to some urban natural features, thereby increasing their effective size.

Through the use of all of its planning tools, the city has managed to provide some form of protection for 1613 hectares of urban natural features which is about 93 percent of the targeted areas.

In addition, the city’s urban boundary polices now require that any natural heritage features within new urban expansion areas must be conveyed to the city for protection at no cost.

The total greenspace network in the city of Ottawa, including natural areas within the National Capital Greenbelt, now exceeds 15,000 hectareas. More than 99 percent of Ottawa households lie within 400 metres of public greenspace.

Station 81 on Stittsville Main Street is operated virtually totally with volunteer firefighters while the new Station 46 on Iber Road has a volunteer firefighter component to go along with its full time firefighters. Volunteer firefighters must rush to the fire hall when an emergency call comes in so that they can gather up their firefighting gear and clamber aboard a fire truck which then rushes to the scene of the emergency, be it a fire, vehicle accident or other tragic happening. These volunteer firefighters drive from their homes or workplaces to the fire hall in these situations. To assist them in doing this, they have a green flashing light on the dash of their vehicles. These green flashing lights are

meant to alert other motorists to the presence of a volunteer firefighter rushing to the fire hall to answer a community emergency. While these green flashing lights are not as well known as traditional fire or police sirens and flashing vehicle lights, they are just as important. Clearing the way for a volunteer firefighter rushing to the fire hall is just as important. If you see a vehicle with a green flashing light on its dash, move over, just like you would for a police or fire vehicle with a siren going and lights flashing. The quicker that a volunteer firefighter can reach the fire hall, the faster will be the emergency response. Giving volunteer firefighters a clear, unimpeded path to the fire hall will ensure that these firefighters can do their duty in protecting and helping us all in times of distress and tragedyâ&#x20AC;ŚThe hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena will be the site of a public meeting called by the city of Ottawa about the proposed rezoning and plan of subdivision for a 6.8 hectare site in the Elm Crescent/ Porter Street/Fernbank Road area of the village this coming Monday, Oct. 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The proposal involves 59 lots for single detached dwellings and 81 street townhouse unitsâ&#x20AC;Ś.The guitar duo of Neil Bateman and Pierre Monfils will be performing at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street this Friday, Oct. 25 starting at 7 p.m. Their repertoire includes jazz, folk and pop music.

Ghoul-bourn Spook Show opening for its tenth year John Curry

TUESDAY OCTOBER 29 7:00 PM

News - Halloween is coming and so is the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show.

This will be the tenth year for this Halloween haunt which happens at 72 Cherry Drive in Stittsville.

In fact, the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will open opening up this coming Saturday, Oct. 26, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. as it begins its 2013 Halloween run.

While the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show is only scheduled to be open as well on Tuesday, Oct. 29 through Thursday, Oct. 31 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. each evening, creator Joseph Carbonetto says that if people turn up this coming Sunday, Oct. 27 and Monday, Oct. 28, they won’t be turned away and the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will be turned on for them.

And, remember, the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show is free, with the only cost of admission being a donation (either money or a food item) to the Stittsville Food Bank.

As has happened in other years, Mr. Carbonetto has made improvements and enhancement to the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show this year to provide an even spookier Halloween experience for those who attend.

There are several new larger props in the zombie filled dungeon (aka garage) and he is engaging even more actors to

inhabit not only the dungeon but also the foggy front yard graveyard.

He says that the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will be offering quite a different experience from last year thanks to a more interactive presentation and approach.

The actors will be more life-like thanks to even better makeup including the use of prosthetics. Don’t be surprised if the actors on site look like characters from the TV show “The Walking Dead” – they will be that realistic.

And speaking of the foggy graveyard, it will be even spookier this year. There is going to be more fog created than ever before, with six different fog machines being used to pump out the fog to all parts of the graveyard.

The music at the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show is like no other because it has been customized for this particular Stittsville haunt. The music is synchronized with the lighting to ensure an awesome impact.

Matt Copeland again this year is handling the sound and lighting.

All of this – the new props, the enhanced makeup, the added fog – it all is meant to enhance the Halloween experience for visitors to the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show.

“We’re building to another level with the haunt to make it more enjoyable and better for everyone,” Mr. Carbonetto says.

Food Bank donations at Ghoul-bourn Spook Show Continued from page 24

He has spent the past ten years collecting props, masks and accessories for the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show from all over North America. Some of the props are custom designed and custom built just for this Stittsville site.

Last year, the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show attracted about 1,800 people.

Two years ago, 2,500 visited. Mr. Carbonetto says that the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show will be able to accommodate as many as show up but he is expecting anywhere from 500 to 700 people per night.

Weather will play a factor in attendance and having Halloween fall on a Thursday rather than on a weekend tends to result in slightly smaller turnouts.

The Ghoul-bourn Spook Show is dedicated to two people who have impacted Mr. Carbonetto and his view of Halloween.

One is Wayne Carbonetto, his brother, who loved Halloween and was the one who got Joseph hooked on Halloween when he was young. Wayne died of cancer in 2003 and Joseph started this Halloween haunt in his memory, first at his then-Oakfern Crescent home and now at his Cherry Drive home.

But Joseph also does this in memory of Bruce Evely of Stittsville who created and operated the Stittsville Haunt on nearby Morningsun Crescent. They became good friends through their shared love of Halloween. Bruce died suddenly and his wife Sherry sold some of his props to Joseph on the understanding that they would be used at the Ghoul-bourn Spook Show.

The Ghoul-bourn Spook Show happens at 72 Cherry Drive at the corner of Sunray Crescent. It can be reached by taking Liard Street, either off Stittsville Main Street or off Fernbank Road or by taking Cherry Drive off Stittsville Main Street at Bell Memorial Park.

Mitch Dorge energizes SCHS assembly John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It all started like any other assembly, a speaker up there on stage, telling his story

to the assembled South Carleton High School students.

And so Juno Award winner Mitch Dorge, drummer of the Grammy-nominated band Crash Test Dummies of Winnipeg, was

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

and then joining a band which toured Europe and then other world spots like Australia, about joining Crash Test Dummies in 1991, appearing on Saturday Night Live and even setting foot in Russia before coming to a spot in his life where he wondered what he could do to make a difference in society.

And this is where this assembly, interesting up to now due to Mitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lively delivery but nothing unusual, took a turn to become an energetic, engaged, memorable experience for the students. Declaring that he was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;classic extrovertâ&#x20AC;? and was not afraid to touch people, he bolted from the stage and went down into the student audience, planting himself in the centre aisle and then approaching a student and then another and then running around the rear of the assembly to engage another red haired student. Immediately, there was a buzz in the room as Mitch moved around the crowd, always fascinated by long hair, a feeling perhaps exacerbated by his own bald pate.

And then he was back up on the stage but now he had the student audience with it, as it were, right there in his back pocket.

And this then set the stage for him creating what he termed an â&#x20AC;&#x153;awesome energyâ&#x20AC;? in the room.

He recruited students from the audience to join him on stage, first three of them, to slap their thighs and stomp their feet along with the audience, trying to get something going. This was OK but Mitch wanted more so more students were called up on stage - 16 in total stretched across the stage, sitting on chairs.

Drummer shares perspective on drugs Continued from page 26

One became a ninja warrior with a rope; another became a rubber chicken performer; and two others became a musical pair producing a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pingâ&#x20AC;? noise.

Put this all together in a unison of sorts, together with everyone in the audience clapping and stomping and the result was magic. Indeed, Mitch told the students on stage that they gave it everything that they had in performing for their student peers in the audience and making them laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Together in this room we created a pretty amazing energy,â&#x20AC;? he told the students, noting that everyone in the room had a smile on the face.

We created a â&#x20AC;&#x153;moment,â&#x20AC;? he said, just like

a band performing on stage tries to do for its audience.

It was now one hour and ten minutes into Mitch Dorgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two hour presentation but now, with the student audience totally engaged, he shared his perspective about drugs and alcohol with the students. He did not preach but rather just advised them to google any type of drug, legal or not legal, and read the personal stories that will be found on the web about the impact of the drug on a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. He said that doing this will help a student to be better informed and prepared if and when a drug crosses the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path in the future.

He used his students still sitting in chairs across the front of the stage no longer as a thigh-thumping band or performers but now

as a brain, demonstrating how a brain communicates from one part to another in ordinary circumstances, when high on marijuana (slowing communication down) or high on cocaine (speeding things up). Mitch emphasized that it was not a question of whether the drugs should or should not be used. It was more a matter of deciding whether such a brain, inďŹ&#x201A;uenced by a drug, should be in a position of responsibility such as driving.

Mitch went on to explain to the students some of the ingredients that go into making crystal meth, a widely used drug today, noting that 40 percent of crystal meth labs blow up because of the inaccurate and haphazard list of ingredients and instructions about making the drug.

Speaking to now a hushed audience, Mitch pointed out that injuries caused by crystal meth lab explosions and drug use take resources away from those who truly need such help in society.

He then told the story of a 19 year old girl in Texas who was travelling with a designated driver and was wearing a seatbelt but who suffered massive burns in a car accident caused not from the actions of her driver but by another driver who was severely intoxicated. The girl has gone through over 150 major operations since 1999 and although she did everything right that day, she is still paying the price for being the victim of an intoxicated driver who served just ďŹ ve years in prison for his actions.

But Mitch did not end on such a serious note.

He explained to the students that they should always be open to suggestions from any source because there might be wisdom in them.

He told the story of how he developed a 90 second music track for an automobile commercial with the help of a studio engineer who admitted to knowing nothing about music. But the engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s observations helped direct Mitch in the right way and the result was a worthy ďŹ nished product.

Wowing assembly with 90 second drum solo Continued from page 27

And Mitch, being a drummer and with a drum set right there on the stage, used the drum set to explain how this music track developed, suggestion by suggestion, and he ended by playing the 90 second track to a spellbound student audience.

Mitch urged the students to chase after whatever is the most important thing in their lives with everything that they have because nothing, he said, feels better than doing something that you love to do. He had earlier in the presentation cited his own case in this regard, saying that every day of his life, he gets to play drums, more often than not getting paid for it, something that he loves doing. He said that he could win five million dollars tomorrow and he would not change anything in his life because he is currently doing what he wants to do and what makes him happy.

He urged the students to “go out and just live the most awesome life you can,” while also congratulating

them on the amazing spirit that they had demonstrated in his presentation.

“Thanks for being you. That’s awesome,” he told the students.

After the presentation, a number of students joined Mitch on stage, talking with him and sharing a hug.

He had obviously reached them.

He reminded the students that they could always contact him with any questions or concerns through the website www.mitchdorge.com or via email at mitchd@mts.net .

Mitch Dorge made two of these presentations at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

The day before, on Tuesday, Oct. 15, he had made two similar presentations at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville.

He was able to make these presentations to these schools thanks to the cooperation of the school administrations and also thanks to The Co-operators insurance company which since 2007 has partnered with

Mitch Dorge in helping him take his unique, thought-provoking message about responsible decision making to high schools across Canada.

It was local Co-operators agents Wes Zacharuk of Stittsville and David Proulx of Richmond who arranged for Mitch’s appearance at these two local high schools.

“As a rock star and a very charismatic individual, Mitch is just the type of person who can get through to teenagers and make a real difference in their lives,” said Mr. Zacharuk.

Crash Test Dummies, the Canadian folk/rock/alternative rock band with which Mitch Dorge is associated, hails from Winnipeg and is best known for its 1993 single “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm.” Mitch Dorge himself released his debut album “As Trees Walking” in 2002. On the CD, Mitch played almost all of the instruments, took some photos for the liner notes and won a Prairie Music Award for Best Instrumental Recording.

‘Yap & Yarn’ at Museum Special to the News

News - We are not spinning you a yarn when we say that the Goulbourn Museum is where fans of fibre can do their thing.

On the third Sunday of every month, from September through May, the Goulbourn Museum hosts a free casual dropin knitting circle

that is open to anyone interested.

You don’t have to be a skilled knitter to attend; everyone is welcome.

This means that children and grandchildren are also welcome where they can learn about the skill of knitting.

These free Sunday afternoon drop-in

knitting sessions are called “Yap & Yarn,” which may give you some idea that while the hands are busy knitting, the voice can be busy as well, chatting away.

These “Yap & Yarn” sessions are held on the third Sunday of every month from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The remainR0012371669_1024

The public are encouraged to attend the open house and/or provide comments on the draft mapping completed for Poole and Feedmill Creeks. The draft mapping is available online at www.mvc.on.ca. For more information call 613.253.0006.

Identifying lands that are vulnerable to flooding is an important responsibility for Ontario’s Conservation Authorities.

In 2013 MVCA completed the first phase of a five year undertaking of flood risk mapping studies on watercourses within the City of Ottawa. Conservation Authorities use the mapping in the administration of hazardous lands.

Stittsville Lions conduct White Cane campaign John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - White Cane pins appeared on numerous lapels and clothing in various Stittsville stores last Saturday thanks to the White Cane campaign of the Stittsville District Lions Club.

Members of the Lions Club

were posted at five stores in Stittsville for the campaign which saw them collect donations to help fight blindness and vision impairment while handing out white cane pins and providing information about blindness and vision impairment.

Lions Club members of volunteers were at Brown’s

Your Independent Grocer, Stittsville IDA Pharmacy, Giant Tiger, Shoppers Drug Mart on Stittsville Main Street and Stittsville Sobeys. A total of $1,386 was collected by the Lions Club in this one-day blitz.

Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis would like to thank all those who donated on last Saturday’s White Cane Day in Stittsville. She would also like to thank all those local businesses which allowed the Lions to have a presence in the store on White Cane Day. 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. The funds are used for vision programs along with local initiatives of financial support and services to the blind and visually impaired.

These include eyeglass recycling, the Blind Anglers International Tournament (B.A.I.T.), the “Sight First” program and eye testing.

For eyeglass recycling, there are Lions eyeglass donation boxes at various Stittsville business locations. Eyeglasses

Lions Clubs, for instance, are supporters of a Dog Guide program which provides trained animals for those with vision impairment.

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.

Canada’s aging population

is expected to bring with it a rise in age-related 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.

The World Health Organization estimates that there were 285 million visually impaired people in the world in 2012, of whom 39 million were blind.

Blindness is present on a much greater scale in developing countries than in the developed world.

gathered through these locations are recycled by providing them to people in need of glasses in developing countries.

The Blind Anglers International Tournament (B.A.I.T.) was developed by the Lions Clubs of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec to provide an opportunity for some fun fishing for legally blind people at no cost to them. The program also can aid in their rehabilitation. This B.A.I.T. program links up blind persons with sports fishermen to take part in a fishing tournament each spring. The Stittsville Lions support this program and each year take two or three local blind people to the tournament.

The “Sight First” program involves Lions Clubs working to contain and eliminate the leading causes of blindness, to create sustainable eye-health systems and to train eye-care workers.

The Stittsville District Lions Club also has the equipment to enter local schools to test children’s eyes. This helps in the early identification of possible eye problems and is provided at no cost to the students or the schools.

Lions Clubs traditionally have had helping the blind and

Church holds All Nations Day, One Ton Challenge John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Multiculturalism filled the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church in Stittsville last Sunday.

It was not only evident in the over 30 miniature replica flags which hung over the church’s music and preaching space at the front of the worship area but also quite apparent in the dress of some members of the congregation who were wearing clothing that would be found in the countries of their heritage. For those in the congregation of the Stittsville United Church, these countries range from Tanzania to Malawi to Trini-

dad to St. Lucia to Bhutan to other countries in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia.

Multiculturalism was also a theme for the church’s Sunday School last Sunday, with the children making flags, either of their native country or of Canada or from some other chosen country. They carried these miniature flags when they paraded into the church’s worship space at the conclusion of the Sunday service, during which they also dropped off more food items to a collection of food assembled at the front of the church for donation to the Stittsville Food Bank, part of the church’s “One Ton Challenge” project this year.

Multiculturalism was also the theme for a video presentation at the beginning of the 11 a.m. church service which showed scenes from different countries and cultures around the world. Cheers went up from certain members of the congregation when a scene from their country of birth or heritage was shown on the screen.

Later in the service, the congregation saw and heard via video testimonies about their faith from a couple from the Philippines and a man from Iran.

When the church’s music team led the beginning of the service, two of the team members were wearing clothing

from native countries, either of heritage or of choice.

Multiculturalism also filled the air in the church’s worship space when Pastor Dwayne McCarty, himself wearing clothing representative of a country of choice, Nigeria, delivered his Sunday message to the congregation. He noted that there are many nations represented in the congregation of the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church but although people come from many cultural backgrounds, they are united in embracing one God and this is the key to operating in harmony together.

He said that it does not matter what culture or language a person has because embracing the one God brings everyone together in unity and faith.

Pastor McCarty noted that people build walls which is alright if the walls are there for protection from, say, the weather but is not alright when the walls are there to divide people. He cited the example of the Berlin Wall which divided the people of Germany but which came down in 1989.

He said that many people have erected their own personal walls around themselves which are difficult to take down but that worshiping together and embracing one God can bring these walls down.

In addition to celebrating multiculturalism at this All Nations Day, the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church was also marking the second Sunday of its “One Ton Challenge” to donate 2,000 pounds of non-perishable food items to the Stittsville Food Bank this year. On Sunday, Jan. 27, the congregation donated 900 pounds of such food items.

The goal last Sunday was to reach or exceed the additional 1,100 pounds needed to fulfill the church’s “One Ton Challenge.”

Pastor McCarty noted that there are many places in the world where people do not know what they are going to be eating that day. He noted that many in Canada are “blessed” with regard to hav-

ing food. However, there is still the need for the Stittsville Food Bank and other food banks.

Pastor McCarty announced at the service that $1,000 in cash has also been donated as part of this “One Ton Challenge” for the Stittsville Food Bank. He also expressed confidence that the “One Ton Challenge” would be met.

Homes for the Holidays just around the corner!

by Robert Greenslade The eleventh annual Homes for the Holidays tour on November 15, 16 and 17, is only days away and anticipation is building for this very special event. The tour, now its eleventh year, supports end-of-life care programs offered by Hospice Care Ottawa, including those at the May Court Hospice.

“Homes for the Holidays will help us improve hospice services in Ottawa and reach our goal of increasing the number of area beds,” noted Lisa Sullivan, Executive Director of Hospice Care Ottawa. The tour is open daily from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and features six outstanding homes in the neighbourhoods of Rockcliffe Park, Rothwell Heights, the Glebe, Old Ottawa South and Island Park Drive.

Prominent area florists and designers will volunteer their decorating skills to the homes: three reflecting a specific seasonal theme (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day) and three highlighting the festive spirit of the holidays. For example,104 Black Maple Private features a “Very Special Christmas Eve”. This home is one of a collection of six elegant residences on the street. Mood Moss Florist and Jacobsons Gourmet Concepts combine their decorating talents to this home.

Another Rockcliffe Park home, the residence of the Swiss Ambassador to Canada (494 Lansdowne Road North), is a stately French Château-style home, decorated for the tour

by Tivoli Florist. This house was acquired by the Government of Switzerland in 1948 and enjoys frontage on picturesque McKay Lake.

Striking 13 Massey Lane in Rothwell Heights is decorated by Stoneblossom Floral Gallery. The home features mature trees and is notable for its cedar shingles, copper roof accents and front canopy.

A “Christmas Morning Wonder” (Tinseltown offers the Christmas decorative magic here) awaits visitors to 8 Thornton Avenue, just steps from bustling Bank Street. It’s interesting to note that the homeowner and her father worked closely to design the exterior and interior of this sun-drenched home.

A relatively new home, designed by Barry Hobin and decorated by Mill Street Florist, 900 Colonel By Drive’s stucco and stone exterior gives way to a light and airy interior and preserves ties to its past by retaining the property’s 150-year-old stone wall.

And visitors will not want to miss 512 Island Park Drive, decorated by Michael Courdin Design, for the “New Year’s Eve Celebration”! This contemporary home features many windows which give the house a strong connection to the outdoors.

Participants will also want to visit the completely revamped Holiday PopUp Shop, this year located at the Official Residence of the Irish Ambassador (291 Park Road). Visitors will be able to get a head start on their holiday shopping and browse the children’s corner, affordable artwork, jewellery, seasonal décor, and delicious preserves prepared by some of the region’s top food purveyors (and visitors can pause for a coffee or tea too). And the best news is you won’t have to go far for tickets! Tickets are available at 25 outlets across the city and via PayPal too.

Three-peat in Chili Cook-Off John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It was a three-peat for the Ottawa Fire Services in the Chiefs Chili Cook-Off at the 9 RUN RUN emergency services run in Stittsville last Saturday.

This was the fourth annual 9 RUN RUN event and equally the fourth annual Chiefs Chili Cook-Off, getting underway just after 1 a.m. at the 9 RUN RUN headquarters site at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.

And the Ottawa Fire Services made it three straight victories in this Chiefs Chili Cook-Off despite the fact that it changed “cooks” this year. Deputy Fire Chief Gerry Pingitore, who had won the Cook-off for the Ottawa Fire Services for the past two years, elected to run for the first time in the 10K race at 9 RUN RUN and so he passed on the chili torch, as it were, to Sector Chief Todd Horricks of Stittsville.

But despite the switch, the Ottawa Fire Services chalked up a whopping 62 points from the four judges to once again capture the Chili Bowl, emblematic of chili supremacy among the city’s three emergency services.

The Ottawa Paramedic Service, which won the initial Chiefs Chili Cook-Off back in 2010 but has failed to return to the winner’s circle since, came in second with 46 points while the Ottawa Police Services was third with 38 points.

In this Chiefs Chili CookOff, a pot of chili is prepared by a chief representing a particular

emergency service. It is then judged on characteristics such as appearance, taste, consistency and aroma by a panel of four judges. This year’s judges were Jeff Robinson, owner of Scumptious Creative Catering of Stittsville; Bonnie Murphy of the Do It For Daron working group; Bob Laughton, owner of Bushtukah; and Carol Gagne-Ince, executive director of Christie Lake Kids.

Representing their arms of the city’s emergency services in this fourth annual Chiefs Chili Cook-Off were Deputy Chief Peter Kelly of the Ottawa Paramedic Service; Chief Charles Bordeleau of the Ottawa Police Services; and Sector Chief Todd Horricks of the Ottawa Fire Services.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri served as the announcer for this year’s Chiefs Chili Cook-Off. Prior to its commencement, he awarded a plaque to Deputy Chief Gerry Pingitore commemorating his two straight victories in the Cook-Off. While he did not reveal his secret of success, he did acknowledge that he had purchased all of the ingredients for his winning chili from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville.

Once the judges had tasted the three chili entries in this year’s Cook-Off and had filled out their scorecards for each, the results were tallied and, lo and behold, once again this year it was the Ottawa Fire Services which captured the Chiefs Chili Cook-Off, making it three straight years of triumph.

Using feet to raise funds in 9 RUN RUN John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Over 1,400 people used their feet for fundraising in Stittsville last Saturday.

The fourth annual 9 RUN RUN event supported by the city of Otta-

waâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three emergency services â&#x20AC;&#x201C; fire, police and paramedics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and a host of volunteers under the leadership of race director Brenda Tirrell of Stittsville raised funds for Christie Lake Kids and Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.).

There was a 10K run, a half marathon and a 2K family fun run, all of

which took place on Saturday morning, a day which started out sunny before deteriorating into rain, albeit in the afternoon after the 9 RUN RUN activities had wrapped up. The 10K attracted 664 participants including city of Ottawa West Carleton-March ward councillor and Police Services

Board chair Eli El-Chantiry while the half marathon saw 507 runners sign up. The 2K family fun run attracted about 300 participants, including parents with strollers, numerous youth and some costumed characters.

It is not yet known how much was raised by this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 9 RUN RUN

event as some pledges still have to be realized and collected. But last year the event raised $40,911.12 for its selected charities, D.I.F.D. and the Royal Ottawa Youth Mental Health Program.

9 RUN RUN Continued from page 37

Indeed, since it began in 2010, 9 RUN RUN has raised over $85,000 to help support programs that assist youth affected by abuse and mental health issues.

This year’s event saw the start/finish line relocated from its previous location on Abbott Street east of Stittsville Main Street to a location on Abbott Street west of Stittsville Main Street and just east of the Jonathan Pack Street/ Abbott Street intersection.

It was at this start line that the 10K race began at 9 a.m., started with a countdown by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri – 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 – followed by the blast of an emergency horn. And the participants poured through the starting gateway and streamed along Abbott Street towards Stittsville Main Street, passing under a giant Canadian flag high overhead, hanging from two Ottawa Fire Services aerial ladder trucks just before they turned at the corner and headed south on Stittsville Main Street. The 13 member Ottawa Police Service highland pipe band, decked out in their red kilts, were stationed at this corner and played while the runners passed by.

This same scenario played out again 15 minutes later as the half marathoners left the starting line and poured along Abbott Street, forming a sea of bodies as far as the eye could see when looking westward from the corner of Abbott Street and Stittsville Main Street. They too passed under the giant Canadian flag slowly fluttering high overhead in the morning breeze and passed by the musical highland pipe band as they turned the corner and headed south on Stittsville Main Street.

It would be well within an hour (43 minutes

to be exact) from the start that the first runners would cross under that same Abbott Street gateway, now a finish line rather than a start line, in the 10K race. It would be one hour and 20 minutes after the half marathon start before Dustin Beach of Kanata would cross the finish line as the first finisher in the half marathon.

George von Jagow announced each runner as he or she approached the finish line with applause and cheers of support for the runners sounding from those who had assembled at the finish line.

Back at race headquarters at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street, the 2K family fun run got underway at 10 a.m., with councillor Qadri again performing the starting honours.

Among those participating in this 2K family fun run were a costumed Wonder Woman and her sidekick, Colleen Armstrong, also in appropriate costume. But when you think of it, Wonder Woman should be part of a run event hosted by the city of Ottawa’s three emergency services because, when in trouble, who should be called? Well, either Wonder Woman with all her powers or the emergency services, with all their equipment and skill.

Twelve year old Josh Fields was the first finisher in the 2K family fun run, finishing the course which started in front of Sacred Heart High School and ran west along the Trans Canada Trail towards Village Square Park in a time of nine minutes. He, like all finishers, received a participant medal, presented by an official from one of the city’s emergency services, just like was the case for those finishing the 10K and half marathon events.

There was lots going on at the Sacred Heart race headquarters. Inside, there was the volunteer sign-in and a wall map of the race routes.

Outside, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville had a face painting tent set up. There was also the McDonald’s coffee truck and the

folks from Dymon Storage were there, accepting shoe donations for Soles4Souls, a national campaign to provide shoes for those living in poverty. Donations were being accepted for the Stittsville Food Bank and Scrumptious Creative Catering of Stittsville was preparing its serving areas for chili, ready to serve up to 2,500 bowls of chili, with both vegetarian and beef available. The chili began being served at 10:15 a.m., with 9 RUN RUN participants and volunteers free to enjoy it.

Junkyard Symphony was on site and performed in the time leading up to the start of the 2K family fun run, entertaining onlookers

with its recipe of juggling, dancing, music and other hijinks.

Students from the Police Foundations Program at Algonquin College were on hand selling heavy duty work gloves for $5 a pair, with all of the proceeds going to the Christie Lake Kids organization. Five thousands pairs of these gloves were donated and the Police Foundations students at Algonquin have taken it upon themselves to sell as many as possible including at this 9 RUN RUN event.

Brown’s Your Independent Grocer of Stittsville hosted a breakfast for all of the 9 RUN RUN volunteers prior to the beginning of the day’s activities.

Up at Village Square Park, Moore Chiropractic of Stittsville set up a massage tent and had a steady lineup of patients, with cramping calves being a common malady for the runners due to the cooler weather which prevailed (it was 13 degrees Celsius at 12 noon).

Also at Village Square was a post-race food table sponsored by Stittsville Sobeys which really hit the spot with the runners.

Do It For Daron (D.I.F.D.), a recipient of funds raised by this 9 RUN RUN event again this year, was created by family and friends 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 needs of economically disadvantaged children aged 6 to 17 in the Ottawa area since 1922.

It provides year-round community and camp programs for economically disadvantaged children to help develop their physical, artistic and social skills and develop positive attitudes.

Christie Lake Camp itself is one of the oldest summer camp programs in Ontario, serving campers who are from families living in poverty.

You can get flu shot at clinics, pharmacies John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Flu season is coming upon us and that means it’s flu shot time.

Indeed, health officials recommend that people not only get the flu shot as it is up to 80 percent effective in preventing the flu provided the vaccine is a good match to the circulating flu strains in a particular year but also that people get the flu shot as early as possible as it takes about two weeks after immunization before the vaccine provides the maximum protection against influenza. Early immunization also helps lessen the chances of the flu virus spreading to others through the community.

The flu season is considered to run from the fall through the spring but the exact time when large spikes in flu illness will occur is unpredictable.

This year it is easier than ever to get the flu shot which the province provides free to anyone six months of age or older who lives, works or attends school in Ontario. That’s because more and more pharmacies are providing these free flu shots. Last year, over 600 pharmacies in the province delivered free flu shots.

This year trained pharmacists at close to 2,000

pharmacies will be administering the vaccine, with over 130 pharmacies in the city of Ottawa participating in the free flu shot program.

In addition, Ottawa Public Health is holding flu shot immunization clinics at various locations around the city including in Stittsville and Richmond.

A flu shot clinic will be held on Monday, Nov. 4 from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.

Another flu shot clinic held by Ottawa Public Health will be held on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road in Richmond.

Local pharmacies which are offering the free flu shots this year include the pharmacy at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer at 1251 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville; Shoppers Drug Mart at 1300 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville; Shoppers Drug Mart at 5709 Hazeldean Road in Stittsville; Stittsville Sobeys pharmacy at 6315 Hazeldean Road at Carp Road in Stittsville; Stittsville IDA Pharmacy at 1250 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville; and Richmond IDA Pharmacy at 6179 Perth Street in Richmond.

It should be noted that pharmacists are not authorized to administer the vaccine to children under the age of five.

Flu shots are also available through doctors’ offices and workplace clinics.

It is estimated that every year Ontario’s flu shot program prevents 30,000 visits to hospital emergency rooms and 200,000 visits to doctors’ offices.

Symptoms of the flu include runny/stuffy nose, cough, fever, muscle aches and fatigue.

These symptoms usually begin from one to four days after exposure to the virus.

The rates of flu infection are highest in children aged 5 to 9 years old but rates of serious illness and death are highest in children under two years of age and in adults 65 years of age and over, as well as with anyone with underlying medical conditions.

The flu each year can cause an estimated 1,000 hospitalizations and about 300 deaths.

In Canada, almost all flu cases occur between November and April.

Most influenza occurs, in fact, in a 10 to 16 week period that usually starts in December but that can start at any time from late October to mid-February.

Medical officials state that everyone six

Special to the News

News - 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.

months of age or older can benefit from getting a flu shot each year and that early immunization is the most effective way of preventing the flu.

Ottawa Public Health gives these tips to avoid getting and transmitting the flu virus: wash your hands with soap and water or use hand sanitizer; cover your coughs and sneezes with your arm, not your hand; avoid crowds, public gatherings and stay at home if you are sick; and do not visit hospitalized patients if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms.

Individuals who have flu-like symptoms like a fever, cough, severe headache and/or chills are advised to rest, drink lots of fluids, take basic pain or fever relievers, take a warm bath, gargle with a glass of warm water or suck on hard candy or lozenges; and avoid alcohol and tobacco.

Those at greater risk if they experience flu symptoms include pregnant women, those who have a chronic health problem that requires regular medical attention, the elderly or frail, those who have an illness or who are receiving treatments for diseases like diabetes, cancer or HIV/AIDS that might affect the immune system, and a child under three months of age who has a fever.

News - “Sock It To Me” was a phrase made universally popular by the iconic comedy television program “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh In.” It was usually said on the show, which ran from 1968 to 1973, by actress Judy Carne who would then be doused with water or something worse.

But most of the time the word “sock” refers not to an invitation to assault someone, whether with water or sometime else, but to the clothing that is worn on feet.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Indeed, the city of Zhuji in China is in fact known as Walking together in the Terry Fox Run at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 25 are, from left, William “Sock City.” Why? Simply because workers there produce Clark, Alexis Baker, Isabella Hudak, Avery Nokes and Vanessa White. eight billion pairs of socks a year, fully one third of the world’s annual production of socks.

So, socks are universal and they even took prominence at this year’s first-ever Terry Fox Run at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Wednesday morning, Sept. 25.

All of the student, teacher and parent volunteer participants in this event held in the schoolyard at Holy Spirit were encouraged to wear crazy, colourful socks for the event. And boy, did they ever! There were striped socks and there were socks of every colour. A rainbow had nothing on these socks!

It was all done to add a little zany fun to the event which took place on a sunny morning with blue skies overhead.

And while crazy socks were an extra added theme for the day, everyone still was walking with the serious intent of raising awareness of the ongoing battle to defeat cancer.

Every participant wore a paper placard explaining the personal reason for taking part in the event – for an aunt or family member or simply to make people more aware of Terry Fox’s great legacy and the ongoing fight against cancer.

Indeed, students themselves were well aware of Terry Fox and his “Marathon of Hope” as class discussions about this legendary Canadian had been taking place leading up to the event.

Some students walked with younger students while others walked or ran, either together or singly, around the course set up around the perimeter of the schoolyard.

Terry Fox Runs are happening in the thousands across Canada and the world. In 2012, in Ontario alone, there were 225 community Terry Fox Runs and 3,900 school events.

This all stems from Terry Fox’s efforts in 1980 when he decided to run across Canada on a prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research. After running almost a marathon a day for 143 days, Terry was forced to stop when cancer recurred in his lungs. His “Marathon of Hope” ended but the spark had been ignited in the hearts and minds of Canadians, starting a cancer crusade that has lasted more than three decades. This year this crusade came to Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville.

The Terry Fox Foundation has raised over $600 million for cancer research worldwide over the years. It has funded over 1,100 cancer research projects dealing with many different types of cancers including lung, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, oral, liver and more.

SENIORS & NEWS

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Even at a young age, I was aware of the sameness of all the farm kitchens in Northcote.

There was always a creton couch, although the shapes varied. Some had one end curved upwards, so a pillow wasn’t needed to rest your head; our couch lay flat and there wasn’t really a mattress on it. Instead, it had several layers of quilts that protected you from the coil springs. This couch was where the farmer put his weary head after his noon dinner for a few minutes rest before he headed back out to the fields or the barns.

Every kitchen had a cook stove.

Some people just called it simply the range, but Mother called our big lumbering iron stove the Oval.

The other constant in a farm kitchen was the bake table. This differed greatly from the big pine table that stretched out to sit at least 12 people when necessary. The bake table was much smaller. Longer than it was wide, it had a small drawer at one end. Ours had a white porcelain top and it stood several inches taller than the big table we ate our meals at every day. Why it was called the bake table, I have no idea, because Mother never once baked on it. Perhaps it was because this is where pies were set to cool off and freshly made loaves of bread waited to be wrapped in split-open brown paper bags saved from orders from Briscoe’s General Store. The little drawer, much longer than it was wide, held our supply of

flour bag tea towels, neatly folded and ironed, of course.

The bake table sat close to the back door, but unless there were pies and freshly baked bread spread out on it, Mother liked to keep it bare.

Heaven forbid that you should put a wet mitt, a school bag or anything else that would leave a spot on the shiny white porcelain. Mother kept the bake table spotlessly clean and when company was expected it was wiped with a wet dish cloth whether it needed it or not. Then a little white square table cloth was put on it and -- if one had survived the season -- a bright red geranium plunked down in the middle.

The bake table had another use too: when company overflowed and the old pine table couldn’t hold another soul and extra seating was needed, the bake table was put to use.

It was moved out from the wall and this is where the youngest of us ate our meal, well away from the kitchen table and the company. The little table could only seat four people, one at each end and one on each side.

I didn’t much care for eating at the bake table. It removed me from the joyous activity surrounding the big table, but as well, because the bake table was so much higher, we had to take pillows off the beds to sit on or else our chins would be in our dinner plates. Being the youngest in our family, I was always doomed to eat at the bake table with other young

cousins. My cousin Ronny loved to eat at the bake table. Then he didn’t have to watch his table manners and it wasn’t unusual for him to take off his plate anything he didn’t like and put it in his pants’ pocket and dispose of it after the meal.

The kitchen was the biggest room in our old log house, but there was no built in cupboards. Dishes were kept in the back-to-the-wall cupboard and pots and pans either sat on top of the warming closet of the Findlay Oval or stored in it.

The bake table was the perfect place, when we hosted the Saturday night house party, for the eleven quart baskets of sandwiches and the slab cakes brought in by the neighbours for the late-night lunch. When you walked by you could smell the egg salad sandwiches and the maple icing on the slab cakes.

Mother loved the bake table. I think now it was because it had a porcelain top and wasn’t made of pine like most of the furniture in that old log house. Mother liked any piece of furniture that wasn’t made of pine.

She once said pine rhymed with poverty.

Sometimes Mother sat at the bake table. She would put her sewing basket on it and do some mending or she would spread out the Philadelphia Inquirer. It was considered her table and all of us, including Father, knew better than to put as much as a pencil on it.

Baby it’s cold outside!

Jubilee Singers to present two concert performances Special to the News

News - It’s a community choir with singers who enjoying singing with a group of like-minded people and also like having fun.

That’s the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, a choir that has been singing and performing in and around the west end communities of Ottawa for 36 years now.

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers hold their weekly practices every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville.

Anyone, male or female, who has singing in a choir on the “bucket list,” should consider attending one or more of these practice sessions to try out the choir and see if it is for you.

All singers are most welcome and there are no auditions required.

Besides its regular weekly practices, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers performs two concerts annually, one leading up to Christmas and one in the spring.

The Jubilee Singers also sing at community events and at seniors residences.

This year’s Christmas concert is already scheduled. Entitled “Winterval,” the concert will be held on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata.

The first half of the program at this concert will see the choir performing Vivaldi’s “Gloria,” along with guest instrumentalists and guest soloists soprano Sarah Burnell and alto Annie Duchesne.

The second half of the concert will feature a variety of Christmas favourites.

Linda Crawford, a longtime, now retired music teacher at Goulbourn Middle School, is the musical director of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers.

She tries to keep the choir’s repertoire interesting and challenging for the choir members.

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers’ new accompanist this season is Erna Poettcker who is returning to the choir this season.

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers also has a youth choir, the JJ’s, which is for boys and girls aged 8 to 14 years. This youth choir joins the senior choir in its performances, performing not only by itself but also joining the adult choir for selected pieces.

The JJ’s youth choir practices on Wednesdays as well at the Stittsville United Church. These JJ’s practices run from 5:45 p.m. to 7 p.m.

These JJ’s practices precede the weekly Wednesday practice sessions of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers.

For more information about the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or about the JJ’s youth choir or to listen to a couple of Goulbourn Jubilee Singers musical selections, log onto www. gjsingers.com.

Information can also be obtained by calling Charlotte at 613-825-3357 or Sandra at 613-831-8414.

Anyone, male or female, who has singing in a choir on the “bucket list,” should consider joining the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. All singers are most welcome and there are no auditions required.

Black and white decision in Town League John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - It was a Black and White game. Yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. Team Black (Cavanagh Construction) versus Team White (Molsons) in the Stittsville Town League on Thursday, Oct. 17 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville.

And when it was all over, the de-

cision was clear as black and white â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 11 goals for the White Team and 5 goals for the Black Team. It was a decisive victory for the White Team which was behind 4-3 going into the third period. Eight goals in this final period sealed the fate for the Black Team as the White Team won 11-5 when the final buzzer went.

Mike Testa scored three goals for the Molsons White Team while Nick

Purdy and Kyle Gourgon both had two goals each. Single markers went to Mike Moreau, Kyle Robertson, Matt Mulligan and Martin Ballard.

For the Black Team, scores included Keagan Boudreau, Jordan Kelly, Ian Shannon and Jason Foran.

There was a second 11 goal outburst by a team in Stittsville Town League play last week as the Cabling Ottawa Orange Team erupted

for 11 goals in beating the Cavanagh Construction Grey Team by an 11-3 score. Six of these 11 goals came in the third period.

Scoring for the Orange Team were Matt Yakabuski with three goals, Matt Hand and Steve McJannet with two goals apiece and Trevor Graham, Shane Byrne, Jay Gallinger and Jordin Lovitt with single goals.

Scoring for the Grey Team were

Glen Cameron, Mike Scerbo and Steve Derouin. Glen Cameron also had two assists in the game.

Can-Am League returning in 2015 Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - After hopes of landing an AA baseball team, Ottawa will instead be settling for the return of a Cam-Am League franchise in 2015.

City council balked at the proposed $40-million price tag of bringing an AA minor league professional team to the Ottawa Baseball Stadium and asked staff to go back to the drawing board. The only option that made financial sense is a $4.75-million contract with the Can-Am League, which fielded a team called the Ottawa Rapidz that lasted one year in 2008.

Mayor Jim Watson called the CanAm proposal “a realistic and affordable plan” that is good for baseball fans and taxpayers.

“There is an opportunity to put this facility to the use that was intended … and also open it up as a community space,” he said.

The main savings are in the cost to the city to fix up its Coventry Road stadium. While the minor league team would have needed to see $40 million in taxpayer-funded repairs and upgrades to the 20-year-old facility, the Can-Am league is comparatively a bargain, requiring about $750,000 in fixes and upgrades up front.

The annual net cost for the city to operate the stadium will be $400,000, said city manager Kent Kirkpatrick, but that will rise to $650,000 by 2018.

Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley was the only member of the finance

and economic development committee to vote against the deal during an Oct. 1 meeting. He questioned why the city is in the baseball business when it’s getting out of things like operating a municipal golf course and discontinuing the Nepean equestrian park.

During the meeting, councillors wanted to know what the $40 million would have included, but that information is secret because it’s part of Mandalay Baseball’s confidential bid the city rejected.

The city and many of its baseball fans had set their hopes on a team affiliated with the Blue Jays. Instead, Ottawa will get a franchise in a sixteam league that is not affiliated with the major leagues.

The team will play 50 home games a season, leaving time for community events at the stadium, according to a city staff report.

Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans was critical of the plan and questioned why the city would tie its hands with a baseball contract just as the construction of light-rail near the stadium site could boost the property’s value for sale and redevelopment.

Watson said light rail provides an opportunity to give the stadium and baseball games an attendance boost.

David Gourlay of Champions for Ottawa Baseball said the process of stirring up fan support and lobbying for a pro team has shown him that there are not enough financial resources or partnership opportunities right now to make a AA team viable

here.

“Yes, baseball belongs here and an affiliated team would be a good choice,” he said. “Clearly, we are not there now.”

Supporting baseball in Ottawa would have required city council to recognize its benefit and invest in it over the long term, which hasn’t happened, Gourlay said.

If the Can-Am experience goes well, it could pave the way for a higher-level team in the future, said College Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who has long promoted baseball in the city.

Council’s other baseball champion, Orléans Coun. Bob Monette, said the contract guarantees there will be less loss to taxpayers and creates a foundation the city can build on.

The proposed contract with the league would give Can-Am a 10-year lease and two five-year options to renew. It also recommends the city seek additional tenants, likely sportsrelated, to rent office space in the stadium.

Some councillors wondered whether there was enough of an out for the city in case a better team came along or it became obvious that selling and redeveloping the land would be more beneficial to the city.

The Can-Am League was originally established in Ontario and Upstate New York in 1936 and folded a number of times before restarting in 2005. Nearby teams include TroisRivieres and Quebec City.

Can-Am teams play an interleague schedule with the American Association, another independent league.

Royals are stalled with more losses first star of the game. The Royals’ goalie Kealey was selected as the game’s second star.

The Royals were back on the ice in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League’s Fall Classic at the Alexandria Arena last Saturday morning, taking on the Winchester squad.

The Royals fell behind 5-1 after two periods and despite two third period goals, the Royals went down to a 5-3 defeat.

Jeremy Nichols, C. Wall and Mitch Kerwin scored for the Royals in this game.

Talmadge Farnes and Joey Laird both earned two assists in the game while Mitch Kerwin picked up one assist.

Royals goalies Jason Shaw and Patrick Kealey split the netminding duties for the Royals in this game, with Jason Shaw facing 20 shots and Patrick Kealey facing eight shots.

The Royals peppered 44 shots at the Winchester net in this game.

Mitch Kerwin, Joey Laird and Kyle Killeen, all of the Royals, were chosen as the three stars in this game.

The Stittsville Royals will host the Clarence Beavers in an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game this Sunday, Oct. 27 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville.

Sports - The Stittsville Royals are stalled in the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey league Valley Division standings right now.

Two losses last week meant that the Royals did not gain any points in the six team division, falling behind the division-leading Arnprior Packers as well as the Perth Blue Wings and Renfew Timberwolves in the standings.

The Royals faced off against the Arnprior Packers in a game at the Nick Smith Arena in Arnprior on Wednesday, Oct. 16.

After a scoreless first period, the hometown Packers struck for two goals in the second period to take a 2-0 lead into the final period.

Eric Malloy cut this lead in half for the Royals, scoring with just over four minutes gone in the period. Talmadge Farnes of the Royals earned an assist on the play.

But this is as close as the Royals got as the Packers scored a third and victory-clinching goal with less than three minutes to go to chalk up a 3-1 victory over the visiting Royals.

Goalie Patrick Kealey of the Royals faced 27 shots in net while the Royals directed 40 shots at the Arnprior net whose goalie earned the

Final well water drop off Fall supper at St. Andrew’s Special to the News

News - A final 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 Minis-

try 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.

Obtain a water sample bottle (it’s free!); do not touch the bottle lip and do not rinse out the bottle; remove aerators and other attachments from your tap; let the cold water run for three minutes before taking a sample; fill the bottle to “fill line” directly from the tap without changing the flow of water. Replace the cap tightly on the water sample bottle.

Samples must be refrigerated after collection.

Do not remove the bar code stickers from the bottle. Keep the pink card as you will need the number to obtain your results. Test results are available by mail within seven business days or in person at the St. Laurent Blvd. location of the laboratory or by calling 1-877-723-3426 two or three business days after dropping the sample bottle off at one of the drop off locations.

Drinking contaminated water can make you sick and can even be fatal. Bacterial contamination causes stomach cramps and/or diarrhea as well as other problems. Regular testing of well water is recommended to ensure a safe water supply.

Special to the News

News - Lots of people are coming off a delicious Thanksgiving turkey dinner last weekend. Boy, was it good! You will probably want to re-live the experience in a couple of weeks if you can and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond is just the place for this.

Well, none other than turkey as the supper will be offering a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings. It will be like Thanksgiving déjà vu!

Volunteers wanted for Parade of Lights Special to the News

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 traffic 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

The Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville is hosting a Halloween event on Friday, Oct. 25 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. There will be a haunted house and various Halloween crafts and activities. A spooky, haunted time is assured for all, with everyone invited to attend.

News - The proposed updated Transportation Master Plan and other plans being brought forward now by the city of Ottawa see a future for Stittsville that would include a widened Carp Road, a widened Huntmar Drive near Canadian Tire Place and new major roads in the Fernbank and Kanata West development areas.

The only major new road in the first phase (2014-2019) of the implementation of these plans is the construction of the so-called north/ south arterial in the Fernbank lands, running from Fernbank Road north to Abbott Street.

Construction of this north/south arterial from Abbott Street north to Hazeldean Road and beyond through the Kanata West area to near Canadian Tire Place is slated for phase two (20202025) of these plans.

This time period of 2020-2025 is also the time frame envisioned for the widening of Carp Road from highway 417 to Hazeldean Road from the present two lanes to four lanes. The Environmental Assessment for this Carp Road widening is currently underway.

Phase three (2026-2031) of the implementation of these plans include the widening of Huntmar Drive from Maple Grove Road to Palladium Drive and construction of a new collec-

Final craft day Special to the News

News - The final family craft day of 2013 at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners will be taking place on Sunday, Nov. 24.

And in keeping with the impending Christmas holiday season, this final family craft day called “Winter Wonderland” will focus on the making of holiday crafts.

Youngsters attending are urged to dress in

tor road from the northern terminus of Stittsville Main Street through to Palladium Drive near Canadian Tire Place.

These plans also foresee some sewer infrastructure projects for the Fernbank lands in the 2013-2031 time frame. These include a Fernbank collector sewer running east/west in the area of the Trans Canada Trail. There is also a so-called Stittsville/Fernbank interceptor sewer that will serve the Fernbank lands from the north.

Data included in this Official Plan, Transportation Master Plan, Infrastructure Master Plan, Cycling Plan and Pedestrian Plan review now being undertaken by the city reveals that during the morning peak period in Stittsville and Kanata, 76 percent of residents use their cars to get to work compared to 66 percent of residents city-wide. Fourteen percent of Stittsville and Kanata residents use public transit compared to 22 percent of residents on a city wide basis.

The Stittsville/Kanata area currently has a population of about 108,000 people which is about 12 percent of the total city population.

The Stittsville/Kanata area has accounted for 31 percent of the city’s population growth over the past five years.

The Stittsville/Kanata area has seen the largest number of new residential housing units built in the city of Ottawa since 2008.

Christmas colours to add to the Yuletide atmosphere of the event which will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

These family craft days are geared for youngsters ages 4 to 11 years. Registration is required and there is a $3 per child registration fee.

Spaces are filling up quickly, so early registration is recommended to avoid disappointment.

For more information or to register, please call the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or via email at education@goulbournmuseum. ca.
