EMC news - There’s a couple more opportunities coming up to help support seven year old Anderson Bihler of Stittsville as he recovers from the aneurysm and massive stroke which he suffered last June. One of these is this Saturday, Nov. 3 when there will be a fundraising BBQ, bake sale and silent auction in support of Anderson taking place from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone is urged and welcome to drop by and enjoy the BBQ and other activities while lending support to Anderson. There will be another fundraising event for Anderson later in the

month, namely on Saturday, Nov. 24 starting at 7 p.m. at the Barley Mow restaurant at the Stittsville Corners shopping area (Stittsville Sobeys plaza) at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road. Tickets for this fundraiser, at $20 each, are available at the Barley Mow restaurant or at the Barrhaven Source For Sports on Greenbank Road in South Nepean (phone 613-823-9022). So far, as of last Sunday, over $28,000 has been raised in the campaign to help Anderson with his recovery. This fundraising is meant to help Anderson and his mom have the financial resources to provide for Anderson’s medical needs and to allow his mother to stay home and care for him during his recovery. See BBQ, page 2

EMC news - Birthdays are milestone markers. And for the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC), it’s fourth birthday this coming Saturday, Nov. 3 marks not only a calendar milestone of four years of displaying art of all kinds but also marks an achievement milestone – this gallery has become an integral part of its GRC surroundings. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, whose ward office sits right in the midst of the owaa gallery in the foyer area of the GRC, puts it best when he notes that because of the presence of the owaa gallery, the GRC has become more than just a recreational facility. It has become a cultural facility as well, he says. From his own experience spending time at his ward office, he readily testifies that people in the lobby area are constantly looking at the art on display. Councillor Qadri praises the artists involved with the owaa gallery for making it such a great success and involving the community with their art. A similar sentiment is put forward by Stittsville photographer Sylvie Sabourin who has been an owaa member for several years now. She believes that the owaa gallery has not only been good for the artists involved but also for the community. She points out that whenever she is at the gallery, there are always people looking at the art or lingering around it. “I feel it could not have found a better home in our community since the GRC pulls people of all ages and backgrounds, coming for hockey, swimming, exercise but also other activities,� Ms. Sabourin says about having the owaa gallery at the GRC. She is particularly happy to

see how receptive youngsters are to the art on display as she believes that it is important that future generations grow up in contact with tangible, created art rather than just computer images of it. She believes that the owaa gallery has not only brought art to the community but has even created a dialogue between the artists and the community through its People’s Choice voting at each exhibition. This provides muchappreciated feedback to the artists and actively involves members of the community in each exhibition at the gallery. Ms. Sabourin feels that the number of people who fill out People’s Choice ballots as well as the many who take the time to look at the art on display show that the owaa gallery has become an important part of the community’s life. As an artist, she appreciates being able to exhibit her work in such a beautiful venue with its numerous viewers. She also notes that the owaa as a organization has helped artists in the area to get to know one another, exchange views and learn about different art mediums from fellow artists. Sue Perley-Robertson of Stittsville, who is chair of the owaa, notes that as the owaa gallery at the GRC heads into its fifth year of existence, it continues to be a vital part of the local community. She says that the owaa gallery has grown remarkably in visibility throughout the community and indeed throughout the city during the past four years. Indeed, the owaa gallery is now used as a model for new citypartnered galleries. The community’s embracing of the owaa gallery’s People’s Choice balloting identifying a favourite piece of art in an exhibition not only shows the community’s involvement with the gallery but also is much appreciated by the artists.

Gallery’s 4th birthday Continued from page 1

The artists proudly post their balloting results on their website. The owaa gallery, which includes the works of not only experienced, widely exhibited artists but also of other artists who have never shown their work publicly previously, has helped artists develop their professional artistic careers. Ms. Perley-Robertson views the owaa gallery as an ongoing benefit to both artists and the community. “The owaa gallery is a gift, changing every two months, offering beautiful amazing artworks to be enjoyed by children, teenagers and adults in our community, Ottawa and the surrounding regions,” she writes about the gallery. She acknowledges that the success of the gallery has been due to the dedication and volunteer commitment of the owaa members as well as thanks to support from community residents, city councillor Shad Qadri, the GRC staff and city staff. The celebration of the owaa gallery’s fourth birthday this Saturday, Nov. 3 will feature birthday cake and ice cream, 25 artists’ booths, a children’s craft table, free door prizes and live music. This birthday party will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the gallery at the GRC foyer. Piano player Rick Leben will be on hand to play from noon to 1:30 p.m. and then again from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. There will be a half hour of formal celebration starting at 1:30 p.m. This will include remarks by city councillor Shad Qadri and city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson as well as by Marilyn Jenkins, president of the Stittsville Village Association. Mayor Watson and councillor Qadri are slated to formally cut the birthday cake at 2 p.m. Everyone is encouraged and invited to attend this fourth birthday party for the owaa gallery at the GRC this Saturday, Nov. 3. There’s even a new exhibition entitled “Reflection” on display at the gallery. The mission of the owaa and the owaa gallery is to increase the awareness, appreciation and promotion of the visual arts in the community by providing a valuable and rewarding experience for artists, art patrons and members of the public through the vehicle of the owaa gallery at the GRC.

BBQ for Anderson Continued from page 1

Mom Shelley Black left her job to be with Anderson through his medical ordeal since last June and now, thanks to the fundraising, she will be able to stay with him and care for him at least for the next year. Funds raised in the community to help Anderson will go toward neurological physiotherapy, equipment needs and various forms of treatment while also helping his mom to continue to be at his side throughout his recovery. Last Monday, Oct. 29 marked the first day that Anderson was able to return to school at Westwind Public School, albeit for only one hour. But even to get to this stage where he can handle an hour of schooling is considered a remarkable achievement. After all, the aneurysm and massive stroke had left him paralyzed on one side and expected to undergo an extensive rehabilitation, lasting up to two years. Anderson was driven to school in a wheelchair accessible vehicle, followed by his mother.

‘Reflection’ at owaa gallery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Reflection. Dictionary definitions of this word can vary from mirror image to a commentary. And similar variance of meaning can also be found in the new exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville, suitably entitled “Reflection.” As Sue Perley-Robertson, a founding member of the owaa gallery, current chair of the owaa and one of the exhibition’s organizers, points out, reflection can have several meanings in this new exhibition which will run through until Friday, Jan. 4, 2013. It can mean reflecting on times past or reflecting on yourself or also an actual physical reflection. And there are some of all of these meanings and more in this new exhibition “Reflection.” An example of a physical reflection is found in the sculpture by Susan Carey entitled “Your Choice.” It depicts a person sitting on a giant chair, looking at a reflection in an actual mirror while also holding a mask. But there are other examples of physical reflections in this exhibition. Jan Inniss’ oil “Candle in the Window” focuses on a four-pane window in a log building, with a candle glowing or reflecting out of one of the panes. Denise Noonan’s oil painting, appropriately named “Reflections,” is a blue and green masterpiece, with two central masses with orange dots sitting one above the other – a reflection but not a mirror image.

And this same name, “Reflections,” is used by artist Aud Karin Sund to describe her geometric oil painting with its myriad of colours – blue, green, orange, red and more. We can imagine that Kathy McClure’s large mixed media piece “Light Magic” follows in this style, with its predominant orange colour pulling in the eye of the viewer. Vera van Baaren’s acrylic called “Fall Reflection” shows four of the most brightly coloured trees that you will ever see (blue, red, yellow and green) filling much of the painting, with their reflections captured in a stream flowing past them in the foreground. But reflections can also mean considering or thinking about something.

Donna Wiegand’s oil “Rainy Day” captures a younger starring out at a rainy outdoors. What he is thinking is left to the imagination. You can feel the reflective thoughts of a youngster looking down off a foot bridge over a flowing stream (perhaps Poole Creek?) in Alain Bernard’s oil painting “Ruisseau d”Automme,” with its vibrant, yet subtle colours. Sheila Murphy’s oil “Memories of Maya Tradition” shows a woman in a colourful embroidered garment, looking very much like the wise matriarch of a household. Gerald Smith’s oil painting of Nicole Ritzer is not one of his famous giant portraits but its subject still captivates the viewer from its dominant position in the painting. There

And Preston Zaborowski’s photograph on canvas entitled “Innocence,” done in black and white, shows a youngster looking out a window – no doubt reflecting on the outdoor situation, although we cannot see the face. Reflections can also portray times past as well as reflections found right in nature. “Reflections of Summer Past” is Louise Barker’s oil painting of a cottage type house, perhaps a cottage from childhood, with flowers in the foreground. John Edkins, a new artist in the owaa fold, portrays a seemingly familiar scene with his photograph of a pond in a forested area.

EMC news - November will see blood donor clinics held in Richmond and Stittsville. Canadian Blood Services will be holding a community blood donor clinic at the St. Philip Catholic Church’s parish hall at the corner of Fortune Street and Burke Street in Richmond on Friday, Nov. 16 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A community blood donor clinic will be held in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Wednesday, Nov. 21 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. To book an appointment at either of these community blood donor clinics, visit www.blood.ca Every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attended community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. So the need for blood donations is great.

Another owaa newcomer Agata Zaborowski, wife of owaa member Preston Zaborowski, has perhaps the most intriguing work in this exhibit, an acrylic entitled “Je Penseâ€? that uses bright, stark colours of blue, red and yellow, among others, while featuring a facial depiction in a work that is spotted with diamond shapes. It makes you think or, could we say, reect,on the situation. And Joe Aragona’s photograph is not only big but striking. Entitled “Flaming 1949 Ford,â€? that’s exactly what it is – a photo of a 1949 Ford with a yellow hood area emitting ames along the side of the vehicle leading to a darker rear area. And, in keeping with the exhibition’s theme, don’t miss the reection of another vehicle captured in the hubcap of the front wheel and also on the front chrome bumper. Silvie Sabourin is another photographer and one who has sought her reection in the landscape, with the photograph being an evening shot showing clouds, water and a rowboat. This is similar in context to the oil of Betty Sullivan entitled “Pink Lakeâ€? depicting a scene of hills, forest and water. And in this same vein is Roseanne Facchin’s oil called “Northern Solitudeâ€? which depicts a wintery scene of snow covered trees, frozen water and a background of hills. A watercolour by Josie Braden entitled “Dramaâ€? also reects a landscape of water, sky and hills. And if none of these strike your fancy, there are others on which you can attach your own reection. “Murky Waters,â€? an acrylic by Soraya Silvestri or “ziziâ€? is a mass of blue vertical strokes. Patrick Bourke’s photo “The Eye of the Worldâ€? is a fascinating, yet perplexing view of a water faucet/tap with an eye-catching little glow at its tip. Patrick Mason’s oil on canvas board “Just Before Sunriseâ€? is a mezmorizing work, not by its complexity but rather thanks to its simplicity – a fog shrouded sky, shoreline and lake ďŹ lling two thirds of the painting, with the rest ďŹ lled with the sparse branches of a tree awakening to meet the coming day. This is one of a series of four paintings done by Mr. Mason, showing the same scene at different times in the day. This early morning scene began the series. Mike Goguen produces most interesting and complex work and his oil on canvas entitled “Change in Timeâ€? ďŹ ts this bill. It is an Arabicstyle scene with an old man looking out over a sea of buildings and towers. And what’s that in the sky? Sheila Turner Whalen’s acrylic “Poppy Trioâ€? would make a great Christmas present for that gardener in your life. Three bright red poppies – what could be more colourful? Ana Maria Rutenberg’s watercolour “Emergeâ€? is another oral, a striking purple in colour. Terry Sametz’s photo “Two Brains Are Better Than Oneâ€? derives its appeal not from colour since it is a black and white photo but from the appeal of its images. And is that one image and a reection of it or two separate images? You have to see it to decide. And two of the larger pieces in the exhibit both bring their own uniqueness to the show. Mark Grasza’s oil “Fall in Ottawaâ€? depicts four females in the foreground, with trees in the background partially hiding a view of Parliament Hill. Stephen Harrison’s photograph is on his now-trademark dye-infused aluminum which delivers a clarity and crispness to his work that is eyeriveting. This blue work “Wishing Wellâ€? shows what would be window panes which look through to an amazing array of patterns and designs. Just how artist Harrison achieved this effect is his secret. Indeed, the piece could be hung another way and still make sense and attract the eye. This exhibition “Reectionâ€? at the owaa gallery at the GRC on Shea Road in Stittsville is on view through to Friday, Jan. 4, 2012. The gallery is open whenever the GRC is open which is all day long seven days a week. Make sure that when you visit, take time to ďŹ ll out a ballot in the People’s Choice voting that is held in conjunction with every exhibition at the owaa gallery. You may not want or be able to purchase one of the pieces of art on display but you can make an artist’s day by voting for his or her work and entering it in the People’s Choice voting. A good time to visit the owaa gallery will be this coming Saturday, Nov. 3 when a fourth birthday party is being held there. There’s going to be lots going on from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. including free birthday cake.

Hydro Ottawa Named 2012 Large Energy Company of the Year

Your Community Newspaper

Award winners Ron Dizy, President and CEO ENBALA Power Networks (Small Company of the Year); Laura Formusa, President and CEO Hydro One (Leader of the Year) and Bryce Conrad, President and CEO Hydro Ottawa.

Hydro Ottawa is thrilled to be recognized by its peers as the 2012 Large Company of the Year at the Ontario Energy Association Excellence Awards. The award recognizes Hydro Ottawa’s achievements in the energy sector in key business areas such as financial operations and management, customer service, distribution and environmental leadership. “These are all critical business areas, especially for an energy utility delivering an essential service to the nation’s capital,” said Bryce Conrad, Hydro Ottawa’s President and Chief Executive Officer. Hydro Ottawa’s accomplishments include strong financial results, with net income and dividends consistently exceeding expectations, and shareholder value increasing by $135 million over the past four years. During this time, Hydro Ottawa’s electricity distribution rates have been stable and among the most affordable in the province. At the same time, Hydro Ottawa has been one of the top performers in the industry in delivering supply reliability.

EMC news - It’s a half marathon run but for Kelly Moniot of Munster, the 9 RUN RUN event on Saturday, Oct. 20 in Stittsville was more an emotional roller coaster experience than a physical run. Over the course of the event, her feelings ranged from tears to thankfulness. Her participation in the 9 RUN RUN event was shaping up as a re-run of her 2011 experience with the event in which she had run with a childhood friend, loving the route. So they decided to do it again this year and Kelly was getting ready to prepare as usual, loading up on carbs the day before to help get through the long distance. But this year a medical emergency intervened. On Friday morning, Oct. 19, Kelly got a call from her mother saying that he father had been rushed to hospital via ambulance with a heart attack. When she and her mother got to the hospital where paramedics had taken her father, he was being well looked after, with testing well underway. When Kelly did get to see her father, the first thing that he said to her was about her running in the half marathon the next day. He reminded her of this a few hours later, so she knew that she would have to run the next day. She started taking fluids and eating some food to prepare. Kelly stayed at the hospital until 7 p.m. on Friday and then had a late dinner at home. She tried to sleep but only managed a few hours. At 7 a.m. on run day, Saturday, her father phoned to see if she was ready to go. She confirmed that she was and he wanted her to call him when she finished.

Kelly Moniot of Munster gives the “V” for victory sign when completing the recent 9 RUN RUN half marathon on Saturday, Oct. 20. “So my girlfriend and I went to the race and the gun went off and we ran … I got comfortable and settled in but my mind wasn’t in it … at about the 5km mark, my mind began to focus on my pace and on running … I felt okay,” is how Kelly describes the initial part of the race. Things were going OK. But around the 10km mark, she began to think about her father and what had happened to him and she began crying. At the 11 km mark, she saw her husband and her two children. That’s when she stopped running and cried. But then she kept going. At the 12 km mark, she came across her mother. Her father had asked her to attend the run and give Kelly some water. This brought on more tears for Kelly but she continued on. “I was tired and my body was not liking this as I hadn’t prepared it very well

the day before,” Kelly notes. But she managed to carry on, although spotted with lots of crying and reflecting on life and how precious it is. As she ran, Kelly thanked all of the volunteers, paramedics, police officers and firefighters that she saw along the route. “I knew what my dad had been through the day before and how scared I’m sure he was and how the paramedics in the ambulance made him calm, talked to him and got him to the hospital safely,” Kelly writes about her experience. “I really wanted to stop and say to them all that you are all truly heroes in your jobs and thank you from the bottom of my heart.” Kelly thought that she might not be able to finish the half marathon as she ran and cried and ran and smiled as the kilometers passed by. With three hundred metres to go in the race, she saw her friend and the emotions flowed. Despite her crying, her friend grabbed her hand and together they ran and cried to the finish line. “I crossed the finish line and was totally done,” Kelly recounts. Kelly did not have her best clocking in the race but it will always be a special one, closest to her heart. When she got home and walked in the door, the phone rang. It was her father asking if she had finished. “I told him yes. I could tell he was smiling on the phone,” Kelly notes. 9 RUN RUN race director Brenda Tirrell notes that Kelly’s story is just one example of the many reasons why the city’s emergency services workers are so proud to be able to do what they do in the community.

Budget meeting on Nov. 7 Special to the News

EMC news - Stittsville and Goulbourn residents who want to learn more about the city of Ottawa’s proposed 2013 budget and who want to comment on it will have to travel to Kanata. This is where one of four

regional budget consultations hosted by city of Ottawa staff will be held. It is geographically the closest to Stittsville and Goulbourn. The other regional meetings are being held at the Nepean Sportsplex, the Shenkman Arts Centre in Orleans and Ottawa city hall.

This regional budget consultation in Kanata which is for the western area of the city will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 7 starting at 7 p.m. at the John Mlacak Community Centre on Campeau Drive in Kanata. At this meeting, the city’s

2013 draft budget, which was tabled on Wednesday, Oct. 24, will be explained. There will be an opportunity for public comments on the proposed budget. Ottawa city council will be considering the proposed 2013 budget for approval at its Nov. 28 meeting.

These results have contributed to solid customer satisfaction scores recognized by the Electricity Distributors Association and most recently by Chartwell Inc. at its Customer Experience Conference in California, where finalists included major U.S. utilities Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric, PPL Electric and NIPSCO. “Consistently improving the customer relationship is a very strong focus for us. In addition to affordability and reliability, it is imperative that we also provide customers with ever-increasing value,” added Mr. Conrad. During his acceptance speech, Mr. Conrad acknowledged Hydro Ottawa’s employees as a major reason for the company’s continuing success.

In thanking the Ontario Energy Association for sponsoring the award, Mr. Conrad promised that “Hydro Ottawa will do our best to be back on this podium in the future.”

EMC news - Volunteers have stepped up. Stittsville Village Association (SVA) president Marilyn Jenkins reports a flurry of inquiries about volunteering to look after the barricades that block off Stittsville Main Street from the side streets for the annual Parade of Lights. She now believes that all of the side streets will be able to be blocked off with barricades looked after by volunteers, a requirement that is necessary for the parade to proceed. But she is still taking names of those who would like to volunteer as a barricade volunteer as there are still some spots open. Anyone interested should contact her at 613-8365075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com . But now the real concern shifts to businesses, organizations and individuals who want to enter floats in the parade. A number have already signed up to participate but more are needed – indeed, the number participating is unlimited and the more, the better. This is a great opportunity to have a lot of fun while also promoting a business or organization to thousands of people – because there are thousands who turn out and line Stittsville Main Street to view

the lighted floats passing by. Anyone who wants more information about having a float in the Parade of Lights or to sign up a float for the parade should contact SVA president Marilyn Jenkins at 613-8365075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com There is no cost to participate. The Parade of Lights is scheduled to happen on Saturday, Nov. 24 starting at 6:30 p.m. The parade begins at the School Board Depot site at the north end of Stittsville Main Street across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. The parade proceeds south through the Stittsville Main Street/Carp Road intersection and along Stittsville Main Street. At the Abbott Street intersection at Village Square Park, there is a public address commentator who identifies the various floats as they pass by. The parade continues on along Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Chruch is located) where the parade ends. After the parade, there is a brief ceremony at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street at which the Christmas lights on the trees at Village Square Park are officially turned on for the Christmas season.

Stittsville optometrists donate to CHEO Special to the News

EMC news - October was Eye Health Month. To mark the occasion, Stittsville optometrists Dr. Corrine Motluk and Dr. Alan Franzmann, who operate Stittsville Optometry on Stittsville Main Street, made a donation to the Ophthalmology Department at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The donated funds will go towards the care of children’s eye health in Eastern Ontario. Vision problems can occur at any age and if not treated in a timely manner may lead to permanent vision loss, a devastating occurrence. Optometrists like Dr. Motluk and Dr. Franzmann are the primary eye care providers in Canada, forming the first line of defense in maintaining the health of eyes.

The Canadian Association of Optometrists recommends regular eye examinations as a way of protecting eye health. These regular eye examinations should be annually for children from ages 3 to 19 years and every two years for adults aged 20 to 64 years. Seniors 65 years of age and older should have an annual eye examination. Infants should receive an initial eye examination at six months of age. One in seven Canadians will be diagnosed with an eye disease in their lifetime, meaning that regular eye examinations are very important for ensuring the continuation of good eye health. For more information, please visit www. stittsvilleoptometry.com . To book an appointment with Dr. Motluk or Dr. Franzmann, please call 613-836-2030.

Smart development is planned development

F

or the most part, the suburbs have gotten off relatively easy as the city pushes for intensification – plans intended to prevent, or at least allay, urban sprawl. So when a developer comes forward with a proposal for a large-scale commercial development – a plan that allows for high density residential buildings – it makes no sense to throw up roadblocks. The Kanata Town Centre lands are a perfect fit for

high-density housing, says Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson. We couldn’t agree more. Urbandale Corp. is asking the city to rezone 10 hectares of land north of Highway 417 and east of the Kanata Centrum and is looking to create roughly 111,000 square metres of commercial space as well as hundreds of housing units. Last week, more than 80 members of the community packed a meeting room at

the Kanata Seniors Centre for the councillor’s monthly ward council meeting – many of them concerned about the Urbandale proposal. We can certainly sympathize. Over the past decade, communities across the city have been hit with a slew of spot rezoning requests from developers seeking permission to build highrises and midrises not in keeping with the various neighbourhoods’ character. For instance, a current plan

to build a midrise in Beaverbrook has many residents up in arms, saying the building doesn’t fit in with the community. One of the leaders of those opposing the Beaverbrook midrise, Bill Teron, has repeatedly suggested the Kanata Town Centre lands as a perfect spot for a midrise or highrise. That’s why the land was set aside for future retail, office and high-density development by planners with the former city of Kanata.

If not the Kanata Town Centre lands, where? The area will eventually have two Transitway stations on its doorstep, and runs along an eight-lane highway. If Kanata – or any other suburb – is to incorporate intensification and large-scale commercial development, this is the way to do it. If the city rejects proposals such as this it inflates the argument that people are NIMBYs whenever they oppose developments that don’t fit the

character of their neighbourhoods. Development has to go somewhere. Better it go where pipes, schools, bus routes, garbage collection and other city services already exist, so we don’t have to pay for more. This isn’t a rubber-stamp process – the development applications must keep in line with the area’s designated zoning. But going big next to a highway and transit is smart development.

COLUMN

A bridge too low grumpy voters. No way a new library was going to get under that one. And so, as with many projects that might benefit the city, the project never hit the road. You may also remember that one of the sites considered for the new library was the Government Conference Centre, the old railway station or, as the government likes to call it, Building Number 054533. Since 1966, when it ceased being a railway station, the building has mainly just sat there, playing host to the occasional event. It had a brief brush with fame in the ‘70s and ‘80s as the site for federal provincial conferences, but since then, nothing. To the federal government’s credit, it has not torn the building down and replaced it with a condo. Also to the government’s credit, has turned down proposals ranging from a sports hall of fame to an aquarium. But still, here’s a gorgeous historic building at the very heart of downtown Ottawa that simply demands to be put to some creative use and no one is doing it. There are cities that would salivate at the opportunity to take advantage of such a building, such a site. Ottawa is not one of them. This is why so little has happened here in recent years. Most development has been by default — the city saying yes to one condo builder after another. We will get a casino the same way — not because anybody particularly wants one but because not enough politicians have the heart to say no. Many will say our inertia on things such as the library is due to an absence of money. In part, perhaps, but it is also due to an absence of political gumption. Politicians at all levels are convinced that they will be punished by voters for thinking big, if thinking big means spending money and spending money means not keeping taxes low. Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not. The idea hasn’t been tested for some time. Certainly people seem to be quite proud of the War Museum, Ottawa City Hall, the Shenkman Centre and other recent examples of thinking big. Wouldn’t it be worth a try again? The bridge may be higher than we think (measuring first).

T

he other day there was a house moving down the Queensway, west to east, going slow, as houses do. That was a good thing because not much damage was done when the top part of the house couldn’t get under an overpass. Now, you might say: “What a foolish thing to drive a house down the Queensway without making sure about how tall it was and how high the overpasses were!� And I might say: “Well, at least they were trying, and least they were making the effort to get from one place to another.� Which brings us, inevitably, to how little the people who run this city are trying. There was a story last week about the central library. Library planners are proposing that there be a modernization, as opposed to a renovation — not a particularly big modernization, but one that will, in the inevitable words of someone, bring the library into the 21st century. Plans for something more ambitious were rejected, and we know why. There is next to no chance that the city will pony up the money. The same goes for the thrilling idea, widely discussed a few years ago, of building a brandnew library downtown. You’ll remember that this was seen as an exciting opportunity not only to re-energize the downtown but also to bring the library maybe even into the 22nd century. Proponents looked longingly at such examples as the Vancouver Public Library, which is a fine library, a great meeting place and an adornment to its downtown. We could have that here. Alas, no. A low bridge was glimpsed in the distance, the bridge of tight budgets and

New branch, new concept John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Standing outside the new recently opened TD Canada Trust branch at 5679 Hazeldean Road in Stittsville are customer service manager Linda Besharah, left, and branch manager Robin Hash, right.

EMC news - It’s bricks and mortar are new; so too is the way that it functions. That’s because the recently opened TD Canada Trust branch at 5679 Hazeldean Road in Stittsville features TD’s new banking concept which is termed “Bravo.” What it means is not only that the branch has lots of windows, adding a brightness to the interior but it means that there will always be a staff person on hand in the spacious foyer area, there to greet customers and to answer questions. Indeed, this greeter may even be branch manager Robin Hash who readily admits that he likes getting out from behind a desk and meeting customers. “My goal is to have someone always there serving someone as they walk through the front door,” Mr. Hash says. He says that the new branch reflects a new way of thinking, giving the branch an energetic, bright and comfortable feeling, as if it were a home. This branch is the fifth TD Canada Trust branch in the Ottawa area that boasts this new Bravo concept. Another feature of this Bravo concept is that while there are four private office areas in the branch, none of them are designated for any particular staff. Even manager Robin Hash does not have a dedicated office. No one has an office including me, Mr. Hash says, adding that all branch staff share the office facilities. These offices provide lots of opportunity for private meetings with customers but they are not the private preserve at any one particular staff member. They are open to all staff to use when needed. The Bravo concept is meant to impart a feeling of a family environment within the branch. Going to such a bank should be like going into a family room in a home. And this feeling is enhanced by a spacious seating area along with free coffee. While the chairs are not the trademark green ones usually asso-

ciated with TD Canada Trust, they are big and comfortable. And the walls of the waiting area are green in keeping with the TD Canada Trust familiar colour. This new branch also has a board meeting room that is open for customer or community use for free via reservation. There is seating for at least eight people. The branch also features a small business corner where a local business will be featured each week. As manager Hash points out, the branch exists to support and provide services to such businesses and so it is good to promote them in the branch. This TD Canada Trust branch, which currently has a staff of 14, handles all banking matters including mortgages, investments and savings plans. “We do it all,” manager Hash says. He notes that all of the staff at present are experienced TD employees who opted to be involved with the opening of this new branch since it allowed them, in some cases, to work closer to home and also because they wanted to experience the excitement of opening a new branch. For Mr. Hash, a 13 year veteran with TD Canada Trust, this is his first role as a branch manager. He finds that even though there is internet banking and ubiquitous banking machines, people still come into the bank and want face-to-face contact with staff when they want to talk about a banking matter. This new Bravo concept allows for such personalized service with the branch being more inviting and with a staff member always there to help out when you walk in the door. This new TD Canada Trust branch on Hazeldean Road at the new shopping area at the northeast corner of the Hazeldean Road/Huntmar Drive/ Iber Road intersection (where the new Food Basics store is located) is open seven days a week including Sunday.

Holy Spirit students visit Food Bank John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville recently held a food drive, with students in all grades contributing canned food items. But for the school’s grade six students, things did not end there. That’s why on Monday, Oct. 22, these students packed up the donated food in bags and walked as a group to the

Stittsville Food Bank to get a ďŹ rst-hand view of where the food goes and to see and hear from Food Bank volunteers how the donated food is sorted and how it then gets to those in the community who need the food. At the Food Bank, the students were shown how to sort the food and to put it on the Food Bank shelves in its appropriate places. They were also told about the expiry date displayed on food and

how items with an impending expiry date have to be sorted separately. The students learned that 40 to 50 volunteers from the community give of their time to work at the Stittsville Food Bank, sorting the donated food and then distributing it to needy families in the community. Grace Nolan, one of the grade six students, says that this trip to the Stittsville Food Bank showed her that there

are less fortunate families in Stittsville and area who need the community’s help in having enough food to eat. Annabel Durr, another Holy Spirit student, learned that food items can be donated to the Stittsville Food Bank by depositing items in bins that are located at various locations in the community such as Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, Giant Tiger, Stittsville Sobeys, Holy Spirit Church and Ottawa city councillor Shad Qadri’s ward ofďŹ ce at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. For Holy Spirit student Ryan Darling, the visit to the Stittsville Food Bank showed him that the Food Bank relies on volunteers and that the Food Bank is a place where high school students can earn community service hours for their volunteer work. Holy Spirit student Claudio Violante discovered on the Food Bank trip the importance of expiry dates on food items and how this must be checked for all donated food items. Student Annabel Durr explained that people turn to the Food Bank for help for various reasons, such as being unable to ďŹ nd a job, lack of uency in English or inadequate ďŹ nancial resources to purchase food, among other reasons. And while the students acknowledged that helping out others through donating to the Food Bank is a good thing to

do, they also acknowledged that there are deeper reasons to contribute to the Food Bank. “Because that’s what Jesus would do,� is how Claudio Violante put it. And fellow student Ryan Darling pointed out that everyone is God’s creation and so people should help out others if they can. This is the second year that grade six students at Holy Spirit Catholic School have

visited the Stittsville Food Bank and learned about its operation. The students will be making a presentation at an upcoming assembly at the school, telling all of their fellow students what they learned from their visit to the Stittsville Food Bank. They have also written about the trip in their classroom work and have talked about it in class.

Stittsville Lions raise over $3,000 in annual White Cane Campaign John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Holy Spirit Catholic School students Megan Kavanagh, left, and Lahra Daniel, right, sort food items during a visit to the Stittsville Food Bank on Monday morning, Oct. 22.

EMC news - The Stittsville District Lions Club raised over $3,000 in its White Cane Campaign this year. A total of $3,036.09 was raised over the two Saturdays, Oct. 13 and Oct. 20, that Lions Club members and others were at various business locations around Stittsville, accepting donations, raising awareness about blindness and vision impairment and handing out white cane pins. On Saturday, Oct. 13, the Lions raised $1,105.56 while at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville. On Saturday, Oct. 20, the Lions were on duty at four

different Stittsville businesses – LCBO, Stittsville Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart and Giant Tiger. In addition, there were coin collectors for the White Cane Campaign located at the Stittsville IDA Drug Mart, Stittsville Trailers and Stittsville Pool & Spa. Some private donations were also received. Total revenue received on Saturday, Oct. 20 from all these sources was $2,019.61. When expenses totaling $89.08 covering the purchase of the coin holders and the white cane pins are accounted for, the total net proceeds for the Lions White Cane Campaign this year is $3,036.09. Lion Bob Lewis, the Club’s immediate past president, was

the chairman of the Club’s White Cane Campaign this year. The funds collected will go to help fund blind and vision impairment initiatives. Blind and visually impaired people in many countries use the familiar white cane as they move around their communities. The Lions White Cane Campaign is meant to help increase awareness of this “symbol of independence” for the blind. This White Cane Campaign is an annual initiative by the Stittsville District Lions Club to raise awareness of vision related issues and to raise funds to help provide necessary resources and programs to those with vision impairment.

Snowflake Bazaar, Luncheon at St. Thomas Church Special to the News

EMC news - The snowflake is often used as a traditional seasonal image leading up to or around the Christmas season, representing the traditional white Christmas. And this has been the case for years at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville which holds an annual event which is called a Snowflake

Bazaar and Luncheon. This year this Snowflake Bazaar and Luncheon is being held this Saturday, Nov. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. And the “snowflake” name is most appropriate, because this is a great

event at which to pick up some items that are ideal for Christmas gift giving – crafts, baking, preserves and jewellery. These can be unique gifts to be given at Christmas time, just like every snowflake which falls from the sky is a unique shape, leading to the popular and widespread belief that no two snowflakes are alike.

There will also be Christmas puddings on sale, as well as used books, gently used children’s clothing and toys and more. There will even be a silent auction. So, get in the spirit of the coming Christmas season – attend this Snowflake Bazaar and Luncheon this Saturday, Nov. 3. And, besides all of the items on

sale, there will also be a great luncheon that you will be able to enjoy. The luncheon menu includes homemade soup, rolls, cookies and squares. There will be hot dogs available for the children. Cost of the luncheon is a most reasonable $6 for adults and $3 for children (eight and under).

EMC news - Distracted driving can have tragic consequences. This was the message that Karen Bowman wanted to deliver when she founded “Drop It And Drive,� a campaign to raise awareness about the dangers involved with distracted driving through a social media presence and on-site presentations like the one that she and two fellow speakers delivered in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Oct. 25. And she was at the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, along with RCMP officer Bryan Fedirchuk and retired firefighter Tim Baillie, to deliver the message, much as they had done last June at a presentation at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. The presentation included a number of visual video vignettes, all helping to tell the story of the dangers, sometimes tragic, that arise from distracted driving, whether it be texting while driving or using a cell phone while driving or even looking down to grab an on-board coffee. And Ms. Bowman told her own story of how her daughter, then eight years old, was involved in a vehicle crash caused by a distracted driver and while she survived and is now 10 years old, she does suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. There were other stories related during the presentation. Another youngster who was riding her bicycle near her home when a driver, looking down at a phone, hit and killed her. This happened because the driver gave more priority to a phone call in the car than in keeping eyes on the road. Or the case of a 21 year old who was killed by a distracted driver concerned with a cup holder. Or the situation of a 20 year old Quebec woman who was texting when she collided with another vehicle and died. And she was texting with her boy friend who now must live with the knowledge that he was the person who was texting with her when she died from her distracted driving. Because distracted driving can arise from various scenarios, that’s why Ms. Bowman has termed her campaign “Drop It And Drive� rather than drop the cell phone and drive. “It� covers all the possi-

bilities, not just those involving a cell phone. RCMP Corporal Bryan Fedirchuk, a 16 ½ year police veteran from Surrey, B.C. with 11 years as a collision analyst, pointed out that there is a difference between an “accident and a crash,â€? saying that just about every collision that he has investigated has been preventable. An accident involves an act of God, he said, citing the example of a tree falling on a vehicle as such an incident but a vehicle crashing into a tree as a preventable accident. He disputed the ability of people to multi-task, saying

head is doing, she said, noting that when a person is using a cell phone, whether hands free or not, the person cannot fully focus on either driving or walking. She said that it is young drivers who have the best opportunity to change the tendency to text and drive at the same time but also noted that it has taken a generation to get across the dangers related to drinking and driving and that behaviour is still not totally eliminated. So it may take a while to combat the dangers of distracted driving. But Ms. Bowman does encourage all motorists to take the “Leave The Phone Alone� pledge but to mean it if they take it. The pledge can be found at www.LeaveThePhoneAlone.ca .

that the brain can only really focus on one thing at a time. This means that driving and texting should not mix. Tim Baillie, a retired firefighter, also from Surrey, B.C., re-emphasized that distracted driving is deadly as he cited examples of even distracted walking leading to situations where emergency services were required, such as a woman who was texting walking off a pier. Ms. Bowman pointed out that even with hands free devices in vehicles, there is still a dangerous situation existing because people get so engaged in conversation, they are not aware of their motoring surroundings. It is not just what your hands are doing in the vehicle but also what your

Emily Green in ‘Puss in Boots’ panto John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Emily Green of Stittsville is in the chorus, one of 28 singing and dancing youngsters who are sometimes villagers, sometimes vassals, sometimes birds, sometimes courtiers – well, you get the idea. This chorus fills in with a lot of roles, complementing the 17 youth and adults who are playing the lead roles. It all comes together in the musical pantomime “Puss in

Boots” which is being presented at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Britannia Park in Ottawa from Thursday, Nov. 8 to Sunday, Nov. 11. Emily, 11 years old and a grade six student, has been in previous pantomime performances of the Lakeside Players which is celebrating its 20th pantomime performance with this “Puss in Boots” production. In this production, Emily, as a member of the chorus, both sings and acts. And, in-

deed, that’s why she does it. “I love to sing and entertain audiences,” she notes in her publicity information. She likes the costumes, the makeup and even the snacks that are available. She likes making new friends with others in the cast and also likes having all her friends and family attend to see her perform. Yes, she’s obviously born for the stage. “Puss in Boots” is being presented in pantomime style. This is a British technique that

R0011708062-1101

takes fairy tales and children’s stories and injects them with some British vaudeville, music hall overtones, contemporary references and audience participation. This results in a rather raucous entertainment that is fun for everyone in the family, covering all ages. It is a Christmas tradition to see a panto (pantomime) in Britain. Its success stems from the fact that it appeals to people of different ages on different levels. There are adult jokes interspersed with antics that appeal to children. Children love a pantomime because they get to boo loudly whenever the villain appears. At a Lakeside Players production, children can even leave their seats and sit on mats closer to the stage, getting a great view of all the action. “Puss in Boots” takes place in a village called Marmaladia

which is about to celebrate the coming of age of a princess. It is time for Princess Esmerelda, daughter of King Marmaduke and Queen Marmaduchess, to be married. But what will happen in this magical pantomime in the world of Marmaladia. Will the gardener Mistress Mary help in selecting the princess’ beau? Or will it be Jimothy, the King’s page, who will gain the attention of the young princess? Or will it be young Anthony Rowley who is keen on the princess? Or perhaps it will be the miller’s son? All in all, “Puss in Boots” is a full length production suitable for anyone from age 5 up including adults. Audiences will be encouraged to participate by booing the bad guys, cheering on the good guys and singing along at times. There will be a five piece band to help with the music. There will be over 50 parents and friends of the Lakeside Players who will be

working behind the scenes, with the lighting, props, costumes, makeup and more. There is reserved seating with family friendly prices. Tickets are $7 for children, $10 for students and seniors and $12 for adults. The tickets can be purchased on the web at www.tickets@lakesideplayers.com or by calling the ticket office at 613-667-2224.

During the summer of 1999, I was a server/bartender at Rideau View Golf & Country Club. That same year, a Rideau View member was winning amateur golf tournaments throughout the region. That member and Manotick resident was Brad Fritsch. Thirteen years later, after eight years on the Canadian Tour, a couple of stints on the Web.com Tour and that very same Brad Fritsch is now a member of the PGA Tour. While Brad lives in North Carolina now, his parents and brother are still a part of our community and deserve as much congratulations as Brad does. It takes a true team effort to achieve what Brad has achieved this season, proving himself on the Web.com Tour for the right to earn membership to the PGA Tour. Brad now joins the likes of Mike Weir, Richard Zokol, Dave Barr, among others as Canadians to make it on to the PGA Tour. Further, Brad is the ďŹ rst ever resident of Ottawa to achieve that feat. Congratulations Brad!

MPAC Assessments Also affecting your property taxes will be your recent MPAC assessment notice. MPAC is the Provincial agency that determines your assessed property value. Properties in Ontario are re-assessed every four years. This leads to a four year phase-in of your new assessment. It is important to note that just because your property has increased in value does not mean your taxes will increase. Reassessments cannot increase revenue for the City which means that while some residents will see an increase, some may experience no change and others will actually see a decrease in their taxes. The easiest way to ďŹ gure out your change is through your phased-in percentage listed on the right side of your MPAC Assessment Notice. The average phase-in percentage is 6.44%. If you are below that number, your taxes go down and if you are above, they go up. Rideau-Goulbourn has a below average assessment increase, compared to other wards, meaning more residents in Rideau-Goulbourn will have tax decreases rather than tax increases. To help ďŹ nd out how your assessment affects your taxes, you can also visit the Property Tax Estimator on the City’s website or contact me and I will do my best to help address any questions you may have. While I may not be able to tell you why your assessment is the way it is, I can at least tell you how it affects your property taxes.

On Wednesday, October 24th, Ottawa City Council tabled the 2013 budget which included a 1.98% tax increase for the rural area. This would represent the lowest tax increase since 2006. The budget also includes a commitment to carry on with the work on Ottawa on the Move that will see vital roads get resurfaced in 2013 and 2014 all across Rideau-Goulbourn. Budget 2013 also includes an additional $5.5M invested in infrastructure renewal, frozen recreation fees for the third year in a row, a reduction in Full-Time Equivalent staff positions of 139 and continuing the Service Ottawa program which results in $8.8M savings through efďŹ ciencies and cost effective strategies that improve access to services for our residents. With garbage collection changing, the budget also shows a drop in your collection fee from $93 to $82 which is the result of $10M in annual savings due to the recent collection contracts.

Lions taste samples, learn about winemaking John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - They not only got to taste some samples but also they heard about the operation of the Jabulani Vineyard and Winery in Goulbourn west of Richmond. It was all part of the Stittsville District Lions Club’s 48th annual charter night last Friday, Oct. 26 at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, attended by members of the Stittsville District Lions Club and their spouses. The samples and the information about winemaking came from special guests Tom and Janet Moul, owners of the Jabulani Vineyard and Winery on Jock Trail in Goulbourn. The Jabulani Vineyard and Winery opened to the public in 2011 after four years of preparation. Starting in 2007 with the planting of 600 vines, Jabulani now offers seven varieties of wine with 11,000 vines in the vineyard. Mr. Moul, who has over 30 years experience as a winemaker including in South Africa, told the Lions Club members and their spouses at the charter night that Jabulani is three businesses in one – a vineyard, wine production and wine sales. Having a vineyard is a farming operation, with pruning taking place in February and again in May and other

One of just two wineries at present in the Ottawa area, a situation which Mr. Moul believes will change with others coming on board in the future, Jabulani does not sell its wines through the LCBO because of the 54 percent charge that the LCBO wants for such a ser-

vice. Jabulani would rather sell from its own premises and not have to give the LCBO 54 percent of its wine sales revenue. Mr. Moul admitted that at one time, the winemaking process used to involve stamping on grapes with feet. Now, though, there is a machine which both crushes and

de-stems the grapes, eliminating the need for such foot stomping. Winemaking also involves the use of yeast and various nutrients as well as doing laboratory tests on the evolving wine. Jabulani Vineyard and Winery has 11 acres of vines. Mr. Moul likes the location

as there is a ridge that runs through the Jabulani fields. This encourages air and water movement, meaning that there is less danger of mould forming on the grapes while on the vine. Mr. Moul admits that he loves making wine, especially when he sees customers really appreciating the finished

product. Jabulani grows seven varieties of cold climate grapes that were developed by the University of Minnesota. This is why a vineyards can now be established in the Ottawa area although the grapes are high in acid and so some of this acid must be removed in the winemaking process. Mr. Moul said that Jabulani is going to try to produce some ice wine in the future but admitted that one of the disadvantages of the production of ice wine is that it can sometimes damage the vines since the vines must be kept alive until the grapes are harvested and this does not happen until there are a couple of below-freezing days. But Jabulani does, among its current offerings, have Jerepico which is a fortified white wine that when chilled is an alternative to ice wine. Jabulani is probably the only winery in Canada which offers this Jerepico wine. Jabulani Vineyard and Winery is open to the public on weekends (Friday to Sunday) from June through Labour Day. However, it will be open on the last two weekends before Christmas this year from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both the Saturday and Sunday of these weekends.

bylaw amendments for Empties to fight diabetes Zoning rural villages in city of Ottawa being a member of a high-risk group such as being of Aboriginal, Hispanic, Asian, South Asian or African descent, overweight, high cholesterol or other fats in the blood and having been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, acanthosis nigricans (darkened patches of skin) or schizophrenia. Signs and symptoms of diabetes include unusual thirst, frequent urination, weight change, extreme fatigue, blurred vision, frequent infections, cut and bruises that are slow to heal, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet. However, many people who have Type 2 diabetes may display none of these symptoms. Diabetes can be prevented through a healthy meal plan, weight control and physical activity. It was in the early 1920’s that Dr. Frederick Banting, a Canadian, working with others, developed insulin. He was a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1923 for his discovery. Insulin became commercially available in the United States and Canada in 1923. The standard insulin syringe to make diabetes management more uniform was introduced in 1944. The ďŹ rst pancreas transplant was performed at the University of Manitoba in 1966. In 2006, the United Nations recognized diabetes as a global threat and designated World Diabetes Day which is now held annually on Nov. 14, which is the birthday of Sir Frederick Banting, the co-discoverer of insulin.

EMC news - You can use your empty beer bottles to help Canadians living with diabetes. You can do this on Saturday, Nov. 10 at The Beer Store at the Stittsville Corners shopping area at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road in Stittsville where members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be on hand all day long to collect beer bottles in the Club’s annual “Case for a Cure� initiative. All of the funds raised through these donated empties will go to the Canadian Diabetes Society. The two main types of diabetes are Type 1 diabetes, usually diagnosed in children and adolescents, which occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce insulin, a hormone that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. About ten percent of people with diabetes have this Type 1 diabetes. The remaining 90 percent of people with diabetes have Type 2 diabetes which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not effectively use the insulin that is produced. Type 2 diabetes usually develops in adulthood although there are increasing numbers of children being diagnosed with this. If left untreated or improperly managed, diabetes can result in a variety of complications including heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease and nerve damage. Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include

through a site speciďŹ c zoning bylaw amendment where it can be demonstrated that certain criteria are met. These draft zoning changes prepared by city staff are based on village plans approved last May by Ottawa city council. The proposed zoning changes are not intended to dramatically change a village. They may impact the range of uses that are allowed under current zoning. In most cases, land uses permitted are being broadened to allow more uses or a greater intensity of use than has been permitted up to this point. A zoning bylaw amendment report dealing with these proposed zoning bylaw amendments for the city’s rural villages is scheduled to go to city council’s Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee in January. For more information about these proposed zoning changes, contact city of Ottawa planner Carol Ruddy at 613-5802424, ext. 28457 or via email at plan@ottawa.ca.

EMC news - Just as sure as night follows the day, zoning follows OfďŹ cial Plan revisions. This is the case for the city’s rural villages as new OfďŹ cial Plan policies for villages have been approved by Ottawa city council. Now, zoning bylaw amendments are needed to implement these new policies. That’s why the city is holding a series of public information sessions about zoning in the city’s rural villages, with one of these happening on Thursday, Oct. 25 in North Gower. These zoning bylaw amendments are generally minor in nature. They fall under two categories: Amendments to implement new policies and revised land use schedules based on changes approved to village community plans and OfďŹ cial Plans earlier this year and also Amendments that

will apply to all of the 26 rural villages in the city. What are some of these zoning amendments dealing with? Well, there is zoning for legal non-complying lots providing new lot width and lot area provisions for existing lots. There is a zoning bylaw amendment to permit a slightly more intensive home-based business in residential areas adjacent to Village Mixed Use Zones as well as within these Mixed Use Zones. Another proposed zoning bylaw is for reduced parking space rates for some land uses in village core areas. Zoning amendments are needed to implement the land use designations and revised land use schedules in new village plans. A zoning change is needed to delete residential care facilities from the list of permitted uses in the Village Mixed Use Zone with new residential care facilities to be permitted only

Adoption is an Option for Children and Youth in Care

Your Community Newspaper

Royals double score on Almonte John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

What does this mean? It means that these children and youth are part of a family. It means they have a place to call home. It means they have a greater chance at success. It’s the beginning of a new adventure – a positive one.

AUTUMN BONUS OFFER!

Adoption through CASO is referred to as a public adoption. Individuals interested in adopting are provided with access to training, support services pre and post adoption, as well as additional on-going assistance. CASO places a lot of importance on finding the best match for the children and youth in their care and welcome diversity in adoptive parents – including people who are single or partnered, from all cultural, racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds and are financially able to manage the additional family member(s). Most importantly, CASO looks for people who are willing to commit to a permanent lifetime relationship with a child or youth. The children at CASO range in age from infants to teens and have been placed in care for a variety of reasons. The majority of these children however, are school aged or in a sibling group. No matter what age a child, everyone deserves a family – a place to call home. If you or someone you know may be interested in adopting, please call the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa at 613-742-1620 ext 2 or visit www.casott. on.ca.

Pianist John Chmaj, left, foreground, with his whitened face and wig, scares even Paul Jay, right, background, of the Gaia Java Coffee Shop in Stittsville as he gets ready to accompany with improvised music the showing of the iconic silent horror movie “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari� at the coffee shop last Friday evening, Oct. 26.

Halloween Movie Madness john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Halloween Movie Madness came to Stittsville last Friday in the form not of one of today’s horror icks but in a showing of a 1920 classic silent horror ďŹ lm. But while “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligariâ€? has been around more than 90 years and is now considered one of the greatest silent horror movies ever made, it had never been presented like it was last Friday at the Gaia Java Coffee shop – a presentation that will never be replicated. That’s because the showing of the ďŹ lm was accompanied by the improvised keyboard renderings of John Chmaj and since it was an improvised accompaniment, it can never be exactly repeated. Granted, Mr. Chmaj, a pianist who has performed extensively in his home town of Seattle, Washington, did provide musical accompaniment to this very movie, “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,â€? back in 2003 in Seattle when he performed with a band. But for his Gaia Java Coffee shop performance, he went solo. Well, almost solo –dressed in a black body suit, with “white faceâ€? makeup, he wore a curly black wig which he called “Oscar.â€? But Oscar didn’t play. Mr. Chmaj admitted going into the performance that he had no idea what he was going to play during the one and a half hour movie. He would just be interpreting the ďŹ lm’s scenes through his ďŹ ngers on the keyboard. He said that this movie “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligariâ€? is a good movie to accompany on the keyboard because of its surreal sets and action which turn out to be ideal for improvised musical accompaniment. And he should know because for him this was an 11th annual Halloween Movie Madness performance. Granted, it was the ďŹ rst one in Stittsville but he had a previous ten in Seattle, setting the mood for the movie through his music. Indeed, he views such evenings as a celebration of both

movie and music together, much in honour of the tradition associated with the old silent movies which were accompanied by a musician, albeit playing from pre-determined music. Mr. Chmaj, in his opening remarks, welcomed the capacity crowd at Gaia Java Coffee shop to what he termed the “twisted, jagged world of Dr. Caligari.â€? The movie involves a series of murders orchestrated by Dr. Caligari who enslaves a sleepwalker to carry out his schemes. “We enter now together the ‘Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,â€? Mr. Chmaj said as he launched into his keyboard accompaniment as the opening credits showed for the movie on a screen which had been set up on the inside of the front window of the coffee shop which is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. From previous experience, especially when accompanying full length ďŹ lms such as one about Dracula, Mr. Chmaj has found that the ďŹ lms are more enjoyed when there is a break. So, for “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,â€? he led into the movie with two songs before the movie began. There was then an intermission at the halfway point, after which he got things rolling again with another two songs on the keyboard before the ďŹ lm resumed. The second song that he played prior to the ďŹ lm was the appropriately titled song “Spooky,â€? which he even sang as well as played. You know the words – “In the cool of the evening when everything is getting kind of groovyâ€? and on and on, ending with “Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you.â€? Ah, yes – that song, performed by such artists as the British female pop singer legend Dusty SpringďŹ eld, anti-commercial No Wave artist Lydia Lunch and more recently (2007) by the vocal trio known as the Puppini Sisters. “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligariâ€? is a 1920 German silent horror ďŹ lm considered one of the most inuential of Ger-

man expressionist ďŹ lms as well as one of the best horror movies of the silent era. Its stylized sets with abstract, jagged buildings painted on canvas backdrops and the jerky, dance-like movements of the actors make this an ideal movie for improvised musical accompaniment. The movie is also considered a landmark in movie making as it is the ďŹ rst ďŹ lm featuring an unexpected ending.

Mary Cook’s Memories

Potatoes in the ears Mother had a thing about clean ears and necks. We never once went out the door in the morning, on the way to the Northcote School, that we weren’t subjected to a close look at both. Heaven forbid that we might get run over with a horse and buggy, end up at old Doctor Murphy’s or the Renfrew Hospital, and have someone see that we had dirty ears and necks! Every night before we went to bed, each of us had to give ourselves a sponge bath. And we had to pay special attention to our ears and necks, knowing full well they would be scrutinized the next morning. One year, the Lapointe cousins were again with us well into the fall, and Father said he doubted very much if Uncle Herby had any intention of taking them back to Montreal before the spring thaw! Ronny was a force to be reckoned with, while his younger brother Terry was as meek as a mouse. And any time Uncle Herby and Aunt Helen could send the boys

out to the farm at Northcote, they did. It didn’t matter if it was the middle of the winter, or during the dead heat of the summer, we never knew when to expect the two cousins. I was always thrilled when they came to stay. They added much to our quiet life out there on the farm, and I loved when the cousins were with us, even though Ronny was constantly in trouble, if not at home, at Northcote School. Terry was too young, even for primer book, so he stayed home with Mother. But Ronny, close to my age, made the three-and-halfmile trek with the rest of us. All that was needed was an extra bag of lunch. Well, Ronny hated having his ears examined every morning. He didn’t complain about the neck, but for some reason he went through a routine that never varied when Mother was ready for her examination. He would bend his head onto his shoulder as far as it would go, screw up his face, and let out a howl much like our old Collie dog did when he thought

the window so she could get a better view. “Ronny Lapointe! What have you got in your ears?” Ronny looked up at Mother

and said, “Aunty, you said yesterday I could plant potatoes in my ears. Well, I thought I could maybe help it along if I put a bit of gravel in

there. I sure would like to see a potato grow in my ears. Boy, wouldn’t I have something to tell the guys back in Montreal when I get home.”

something was attacking our hen house. Mother gave him no sympathy. He also didn’t have much use for the nightly sponge bath. And I know for a fact he often just wet the face cloth and put it right back in the basin of water, stood for as long as he thought a reasonable time, and announced he was finished. And of course, the ears were rarely touched. Well, one morning Mother took a hold of one of his ears, and said “Ronny Lapointe, you could plant potatoes in there. Get over to the bench and I’ll give those ears a clean out.” Well, for some reason that morning, Ronny took his punishment like a man. But I could tell the wheels were turning in his head. There was no howling, and he didn’t even bend his head to his shoulder when the other ear was being washed. Something was up with Ronny, I could tell. He was deep in thought. The next morning, we all lined up for the usual examination. Mother thought, since Audrey was in Senior Fourth, she didn’t have to have her ears and neck examined. She was old enough and quite capable of looking after her own cleanliness. I couldn’t wait until I reached that magic age. Well, then it was Ronny’s turn. He stood ramrod straight – again, very unusual for Ronny. Mother bent to have a look. She got close to his ears and then hauled him over to

running through to Saturday, Dec. 15 is one of the ways in which city of Ottawa residents can get the flu vaccine. Other ways are through a personal physician or health care provider or at a workplace immunization clinic. The flu vaccine is the most effective way of protecting yourself against the flu virus. Other precautions which help protect against the flu are washing hands often with soap and water or hand sanitizer; covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your arm, not your hand; and staying at home when sick. This year’s flu vaccine will cover three strains of influenza: the 2009 H1N1 strain, an influenza A known as H3N2 and an influenza B component.

189th anniversary at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was in 1823 that a petition was sent to the Earl of Dalhousie, the Governor-in-Chief, seeking land for a Presbyterian church in Richmond, with Rev. Andrew Glen as the minister. Indeed, he was the first minister of any denomination to take up residence in Richmond. It had been a year earlier, in March, 1822, when the first Presbyterian Church service was held in Richmond. This was the first such Presbyterian service held in what was to become

Carleton County. And that’s why St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond celebrated its 189th anniversary service last Sunday, Oct. 28 and why it is slowly moving towards its 200th anniversary as a church in Richmond. A Presbyterian church site and fledgling building could have been in place in Richmond by 1839, although details are uncertain. The first Presbyterian Church in Richmond, though, would seem to definitely been in place by 1847, being a frame building. A brick church, the current building, was built in 1884 on the same spot as the original church.

As with all churches at that time, the church had a horse shed where a horse and attached vehicle could be kept during services. The shed, built in 1868, was to the north and rear of the church. The shed was removed in 1940. At the time of Church Union in 1925, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Richmond remained as a Presbyterian Church. A hall at the rear of the church was completed and dedicated in 1978. Rev. Hamish Kennedy, acting Moderator of the Presbytery of Ottawa, led the dedication ceremony. Rev. Newton Reid, a former minister at the church, was among those in attendance.

Vendors wanted for second ‘Ladies’ Night Out: A Stittsville Women’s Show’ EMC news - The nursery rhyme “RubA-Dub-Dub� makes reference to a candlestick maker, stuck in a tub with two others, sailing out to sea. But candlestick makers, along with other artisans of all kinds such as painters, potters, knitters, photographers, jewellery makers and more, are very much wanted to be right here in Stittsville, on hand in the atrium at Sacred Heart High School rather than floating around in a tub somewhere.

That’s because the second annual “Ladies’ Night Out: A Stittsville Women’s Show� is being staged at the atrium on Thursday, Nov. 15 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and as many artisans and entrepreneurs as possible are wanted to participate in the event. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School, which is hosting the event, is looking for vendors for the event, offering local artisans and entrepreneurs an opportunity to showcase their products to local residents. Coming just before Christmas, this is a great opportunity

for community residents to purchase local and hand-made gifts just in time for Christmas. The Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School will be accepting vendor registrations up until Friday, Nov. 9. To register or for more information, please contact aimeecmacdonald@gmail.com Admission to this event will be free for shoppers. All proceeds from the vendor registration fee will go directly to support the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School while the vendors will keep 100 percent from their sales that evening.

Royals Day scores ‘hat trick’ in more ways than one Special to the News

EMC sports - Royals Day at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena last Saturday was a real “hat trick” day in more ways than one. First and foremost, the name of the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association (RMMHA) new mascot was unveiled. And the mascot’s new name is “Hat Trick.” This name won the mascot naming contest which was held online and open to any Richmond Royals minor hockey players. But this was not the only highlight of this highlightfilled day. RMMHA president Joe Milroy unveiled a plaque bearing a photograph and inR0011568292

formation about the late Tyler Kerr, the RMMHA player who died while playing last season. This plaque will be mounted in the foyer of the Richmond arena. But this was not all. Tyler Kerr’s number 14 sweater is being retired and, in addition, the RMMHA has a new sweater patch which bears the number “14” which was Tyler’s sweater number as well as the name “Kerr.” Team photos were taken throughout the day in the adjacent Dining Hall at the fairgrounds. This was also the site for an evening Halloween dance at which there were door prizes, costume prizes and a silent auction.

This Dining Hall was also the site of the day’s beginnings as a pancake and sausage breakfast was held there beginning at 7 a.m.

There were games and activities held at the arena, both inside and outside, all day long. One of these games was

“Rinko,” a takeoff on the game “Plinko” on the TV show “The Price Is Right.” A BBQ lunch saw burger

and hot dog meals sold. Richmond Royals t-shirts were on sale throughout the day.
