He placed third in the national finals of the 2016 Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s Canadian Geographic Challenge, winning $2,000. Awesome!

Davis, as well as the Society’s explorer-in-residence Jill Heinerth, one of the world’s most accomplished cave divers. Priceless. Yes, it been quite a journey for 13 year old William Chapman of Stittsville since he, along with schoolmates at Goulbourn Middle School , partiucipated in the Canadian Geographic Challenge and he emerged as the school champion. This meant that he participated in the online provincial Canadian Geographic Challenge, emerging as one of seven from Ontario to be among the competition’s 20 finalists from across the country. He then emerged as one of the top five finalists, earning the right to participate in the national final on June 3 at the Canadian War Museum where he placed third. Quite a journey of success for William, the youngest finalist in this competition that involves thousands of Canadian students from grades seven through ten. As the name of the competition indicates, it is all about geography. See WILLIAM CHAPMAN, page 2

William Chapman was third in national geography competition questions. Indeed, William likes geography because it incorporates a lot of other subjects under its banner, such as science and history. William admits that he did study for the competition but geography has been a passion of his ever since he was very young. Indeed, he used to carry around enormous-sized atlases when he was as young as four years old, with many of them almost weighing more than he did. He thinks that more students across the country should become involved with this Canadian Geographic Challenge, especially any students who like geography. William himself will be taking part in the competition again this school year, stating that for this upcoming competition he will study for it even more than he did for the 2016 competition. The July/August issue of the “Canadian Geographic” magazine included an article about the 2016 Canadian Geographic Challenge and its winners, including a photo involving William. William admits that he did not know what the Oct. 24 event to which he was invited involving Alex Trebek was going to be about. You can imagine his thrill when he was specifically called up to the

It does, though, also include knowledge of other fields such as geology and linguistics. One of the questions in the finals, for instance, asked competitors to name the languages spoken in the northern, eastern and southern parts of Belgium. For William, who had just been travelling in Belgium with his family and who also takes Dutch lessons, the answer came easily: Flemish in the north, German in the east and Walloon in the south. “I enjoy languages a lot,” William says in explaining his mastery of this question. William indeed sees perhaps a future career in geo linguistics which is the study of languages in relation to geography and how geography can impact language. An example might be a language spoken in a high mountain area with its thinner air that might evolve to use less air in talking. Or languages in cold areas with confined living spaces tend to be quieter than those in a dessert area with its wide open, flat surfaces, requiring more loudness. William also notes that a knowledge of history also helped in this geography competition as there is an historical aspect to many of the

podium by Alex Trebek who congratulated him on his success in the competition and who presented him with signed collector cards of Alex Trebek, Wade Davis and Jill Heinerth. He also got to chat extensively with explorer Heinerth at the event. He says that it is “cool” that all of the collector cards which he received were signed. Alex Trebek, who graduated from the University of Ottawa in 1961, has been host of the “Jeopardy” game show on TV since 1984. He has been awarded five Outstanding Game Show Host Emmy Awards as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2010, Trebek received the Royal Canadian Geographical Society’s Gold Medal for his contribution to geographic education and the popular study of geography. He is the current honourary president of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society. The new Canada’s Centre for Geography and Exploration at 50 Sussex Drive in Ottawa will serve as an exhibition space as well as the Society’s headquarters and a campus for geographic education and exploration of Canada and the world.

Christman pudding will be sold once again at annual CWL bazaar BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Pudding time is just about here! The Christmas pudding that has become a treasured treat for those lucky enough to snatch up one of these tasty puddings at annual Christmas bazaar hosted by the Catholic Women’s League at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville will be available once again at this year’s event. Members of the Catholic Women’s League under pudding organizer Donella Gabriele have been preparing the pudding for three weeks now, meeting on Wednesday mornings to mixed all of the ingredients together in a giant pot, steaming it for hours, allowing it to age and then packaging it up for sale at the bazaar. This Christmas pudding has gotten rave reviews every year since it was made for the first-ever C.W.L. bazaar in Nov. 2010. It has become a most sought after treasurer as will undoubtedly be the case at this year’s bazaar. A word to the wise – get there early if you want to leave with one of these treasured treats. And just what makes this Christmas pudding so great and desirable? Well, it’s made with raisins, currents, citrus peel, brown sugar, flour, mixed fruit, eggs, milk, cherries, cinnamon JOHN CURRY/METROLAND and spices, all mixed together, along with suet. It’s steamed Members of the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville who are preparing the famous Christmas for hours, allowed to age for a couple of weeks and then pudding which will be on sale at the annual CWL bazaar on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall on Shea Road in packaged up along with advice about sauces that can be Stittsville are (from left) Shyla Rodericks, Sandra Cybulski, Judith Hurdman, Claudette Langdon, Carm Van Leeuwen, Joyce used to make it even more delicious.

Crafts, knitting, goodies, jewellery and more at CWL bazaar Continued from page 4

The pudding can be frozen when taken home or simply kept wrapped tightly in the fridge, keeping its ingredients fresh as it gets tastier and tastier with age, just like a fruit cake. This pudding comes from an old family recipe that came to the attention of the Holy Spirit CWL ladies back in 2010 via Holy Redeemer Church in Kanata where it had proven to be a Yuletide favourite. And, oh yes, one more thing – the price of the pudding again this year will be only $12 each as the C.W.L. ladies have held the price even though the cost of ingredients has continued to go up. So it’s an even better bargain than ever! But the upcoming Holy Spirit C.W.L.

bazaar has much more to enjoy and offer than this famous Christmas pudding. It will all happen on Saturday, Nov.12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Parish Hall at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road in Stittsville. There will be a number of vendors there, offering lots of selection on items such as painted tiles, fancy soaps and crafts. There will be lots of homemade crafts and knitting available along with lots of Christmas goodies at the bake table. And don’t forget the white elephant table – someone else’s throwaway may be your treasure! Look for the display of slightly used jewellery which will be offered at fantastic bargain prices. There will also be religious articles for sale. There is no admission charge to get into

the bazaar. There will be hourly draws for door prizes and raffle tickets will be available on three gift baskets –a movie night basket, a Christmas hospitality basket and a wine gift basket. And this is not all! Don’t forget that the bazaar will be home to the C.W.L.’s famous tea room which will be serving chili and soup which should really hit the spot after some intense shopping at the bazaar. Everyone is welcome to attend this bazaar and tea room. All proceeds from the event are going to be donated to local and community charities. Remember: it all happens on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Holy Spirit Parish Hall on Shea Road in Stittsville.

Primate of Canada at 150th anniversary dinner BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The focus of the keynote address by Archbishop the Most Rev. Fred Hiltz, Primate of Canada, at the 150th anniversary dinner celebration for St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Oct. 29 was on where the Anglican Church is today and where it is going rather than where it has been.

Speaking at the dinner at the Irish Hills Golf and Country Club on Carp Road where there were mementoes, newspaper clippings and memorabilia on display about St. Thomas’ history since its founding in 1866, Primate Hiltz used the opportunity to outline current initiatives in the church and looked into the future to an Anglican Church being reformed in the way of Christ, becoming the kind of church that God wants it to be. “A church that sees itself like its Lord, to be in the world and

for the world,” is how Primate Hiltz summed up what he termed to be the Anglican Church’s glorious future in Canada. He said that the future of the Anglican Church will revolve around what it means to be a follower of Christ and to be His disciple. “So we are disciples and that’s our future,” he declared, saying that Anglican congregations are becoming vital and alive and aware of what is happening around them in the world. Primate Hiltz noted changes in the church’s ordained ministries in the past 25 years such as the restoration of the deaconate, a shift to a more balanced ministry between men and women, and overall a younger ministry. He noted how the place of women in the church has changed over time, noting that gender equity is a church goal, with many women now holding prominent positions in the Synod and other high church offices including seven women as Bishops. Primate Hiltz outlined the Anglican Church’s commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, adding that the Church’s 1993 apology to indigenous peoples changed the course of history for the Anglican Church in creating a path of healing and conciliation with indigenous peoples. He mentioned the Anglican Healing Fund which has supported 500 projects involving indigenous peoples and also the church’s support for suicide prevention in aboriginal communities and for acknowledging the cause of missing and murdered aboriginal women. See PRIMATE, page 7

Primate notes Anglican response to refugee crisis Continued from page 6

He said that those in the Anglican Church are called to be builders of a new way of being church in relation to indigenous peoples, working to include indigenous spirituality within the Anglican Church of Canada, something that

he said has been underway since 1995. He acknowledged, though, that this is slow, hard work. “It’s a long journey, sometimes a hard journey,” he said. The work has included the appointment of a national indigenous bishop.

Primate Hiltz also noted that the Anglican Church of Canada has established formal partner relationships with others parts of the world such as Africa, Jerusalem and Cuba. He spoke about how Anglican Churches in Canada have responded to the global refugee crisis, raising over $20 million and sponsoring 678 refugee families. Noting that Christ himself was a refugee, he noted how Anglican churches across the country have raised money in order to settle refugee families in Canada. Primate Hiltz noted that the Anglican tradition involves embracing diversity and supporting ecumenism. He said that today’s Anglican Church not only embraces ecumenism but is addressing the humanitarian crises of today and is standing up for those whose human rights are ignored or abused. In thanking Primate Hiltz for his address at the dinner, St. Thomas Anglican Church Rector’s Warden Pat McNally remarked that the Primate had reminded everyone there just what Anglicans in Canada are doing today. The dinner also saw the presentation of two certificates of congratulations being awarded to St. Thomas Anglican Church. Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre, who presented one of these certificates, noted that in celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, St. Thomas Anglican Church was one year older than Canada itself which is marking its 150th anniversary in 2017. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren, in presenting his certificate of congratulations at the dinner, noted St. Thomas’ long history, adding that it was the efforts of many great people which made it happen. In introducing Primate Hiltz, Ottawa Bishop the Rt. Rev. Dr. John Chapman pointed out the significant milestone that this 150th anniversary for St. Thomas is. He said that there are not many Anglican churches in the Diocese that have hit the 150 year mark and indeed only a handful that have reached the 175 year mark. “You are up there with the seniors of seniors,” Bishop Chapman said about St.

Thomas Anglican Church. In his introduction of Primate Hiltz, Bishop Chapman said that the Primate likes attending such anniversary celebrations and being with churches as they celebrate sacred milestones like this 150th anniversary for St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. He said that Primate Hiltz is known internationally as a peacemaker, calling him “one of the most highly respected

Primates in the global community.” Archbishop the Most Rev. Fred Hiltz, Primate of Canada, is considered the chief pastor of the Anglican Church of Canada. He serves as the chief executive officer of the Anglican Church’s national office in Toronto. He was elected as the 13th Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada in June 2007, formerly serving as the

Bishop of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.

Ordained in 1978, Archbishop Fred Hiltz ministered in small communities in Nova Scotia where he cultivated his love for parish ministry and for being with people in times of both difficulty and celebration. There are 1.6 million Anglican Church members in Canada in 2800 parishes in 30 Dioceses.

OPINION

Ontario tackles an age old question

ow soon after the first pubic safety entity was created – hundreds of years ago – did some ask the question: Who will police the police? The province is hoping to improve the way the police in Ontario are managed. There are three bodies that investigate police actions, with the Special Investigations Unit the best known. Justice Michael Tulloch is touring the province, listening to Ontarians’ suggestions and complaints. It’s a worthwhile endeavour. All of us need to have faith in our police. We need to know that when we raise a concern, an independent investigation will occur. Two of the stated purposes of Tulloch’s review are greater transparency and accountability. The SIU operates at arm’s length from the police, and the organization’s investigators deliver their reports to the Ontario attorney general, but not the public. That’s the first fix that’s needed. Public reports ensure transparency. The arm’s-length relationship – great in theory – can also be questioned. Most, if not all, of the SIU’s investigators are former police officers. While police departments are obvious sources of good investigators, their resumes don’t pass the sniff test for some people

who complain about police actions. There is no doubt there’s an appearance of a conflict of interest, which in turn can make the public less confident that investigations turn over every stone. The answer would be to train investigators to work for the SIU, even if they have never worked for law enforcement before. There would clearly be a cost as the education wouldn’t be simple. But if Tulloch is to create a fair and complete report, hiring non-cops for the SIU must be an option. Another way to stretch the arm’s-length relationship between police and the SIU would be to expand the geographic scope of the people who investigate police officers. A provincial body such as the SIU means investigators – former police officers – may have personal relationships with members of the forces they investigate. If Canada had a federal unit instead, that could ensure personal relationships are less likely or avoided altogether – a former police officer in Alberta could be assigned cases in New Brunswick, for example. If we are going to continue to fund investigations of our police, we should receive results all of us trust to be fair, complete and public.

Downside of hockey is no fun at all

happened to be on the other side of the world recently, tuned into CNN for a glimpse of life back on our continent — in other words, the latest complications in the life of Donald Trump — when what should appear but a story about hockey. Hockey! On CNN! In Asia! The story, as it turned out, was about Auston Matthews, the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie, and how he had scored four goals in his National Hockey League debut. What a debut! What a player! Etc. Somehow I already knew what the score of that game was and I patiently waited for CNN to tell the world which team won that game. “Tell us who won,” I kept telling the TV set. Finally, as an afterthought, CNN told us: The

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Ottawa Senators had beaten the Leafs in overtime. By the way, you must have noticed that we are in the midst of the semi-annual TV sports heaven, with the NHL underway, the NBA just starting, the World Series, the CFL and, for those who like that sort of the thing, the NFL all going on. This may be why the kids had such a hard time getting anyone to answer the door on Halloween. Now, the Senators victory over Toronto was certainly appreciated here, as was Auston Matthews’

performance appreciated in Toronto. But there is a clear divergence in the two cities’ approach to their hockey fortunes. The Sens get off to a nice start, winning more than they lose, and people are quite content – not too excited, not talking Stanley Cup yet, but fairly happy with how things are going. Toronto has been talking Stanley Cup ever since Matthews was signed. And then, almost instantly, in a state of despair when he failed to score four goals in his subsequent games. There is already a goaltending controversy in Toronto, angry words between the coach and media, all duly reported. And reported and reported. To hear people talk down there, you wouldn’t know that there are another 70 or so games left in the

season. We’re calmer in Ottawa. Perhaps it’s because there are other things going on, such as politics. It’s not that the Senators don’t get coverage. It’s just that we are not subjected to such drastic ups and downs. We saw this a bit in the justconcluded baseball season. The Toronto Blue Jays did just fine, almost advancing to the World Series, but at various points in the season it was panic in the sports media. Every two-game losing streak was met with demands to fire the manager or trade half the team. The upside of this volatility is that when the team wins, the joy is intense. But the downside is no fun at all. Around February, the sports community here will begin talking about playoff chances. Between now and then there will be the occasional mutter after a particularly difficult loss. But we will keep our EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: Theresa Fritz, 613-221-6225 theresa.fritz@metroland.com NEWS EDITOR: John Curry john.curry@metroland.com - 613-221-6152 REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: John Brummell john.brummell@metroland.com - 613-221-6202

perspective. In Toronto, because interest is so intense, some players may experience pressure from the fans that they wouldn’t feel in other cities. And that just makes things worse. It’s all very well to talk about living and dying for the home team. But it’s nice to avoid the dying part.

Evening of comedy to help fight cancer BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

You can enjoy an evening of comedy while helping out a man battling cancer. A Yuk-Yuk’s Comedy Night in support of the Devine Dreams Foundation which provides support to those facing cancer is being held this Friday, Nov. 4 at 8 p.m. at Hurley’s Neighbourhood Grill at the Shops of Main Street Plaza on Stittsville Main Street at Carp Road in Stittsville. Besides the Yuk-Yuk’s comedy offerings, the evening will also include a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle and a gift basket raffle. Tickets for this fundraising Yuk-Yuk’s Comedy Night are $25 each and are available in advance at Hurley’s or by calling 613-831-1841. Nicky Devine created the Devine Dreams Foundation after her own battle with cancer. She realized from her own experience that there is no financial support available for adults who are battling cancer. The community did fundraising events for her so that she would not have to worry about financial matters while battling her cancer. She now wants to provide similar support to others which is why she had launched the Devine Dreams Foundation. This Yuk-Yuk’s Comedy Night fundraiser at Hurley’s in Stittsville is the first fundraiser by the Devine Dreams Foundation. The proceeds from this inaugural fundraiser will be going to help Jason Leduc, a 36 year old man who is currently battling stage IV nonsmall cell lung cancer. He had to give up work in February due to shoulder and back pain. In March, it was discovered that the source of the pain was cancer. He was given only one year to live with the cancer being untreatable. But Jason signed up for a clinical trial and positive things are happening as a result, with his tu-

mour now shrinking and no longer spreading. Jason is among the approximately two out of five Canadians who are diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives. Battling cancer is tough to deal with it but there are also financial worries that come with it, such as medical expenses as well as daily living expenses when not working. The Devine Dreams Foundation has been set up to help relieve some of these financial worries of those diagnosed with cancer so that they can direct all of their energy to battling the disease. It was in January 2016 that Nicky Devine herself was diagnosed with cancer. After four months of back pain and different medical examinations, Nicky was told that she had stage 4 wilms tumour cancer. Fortunately for Nicky, her family, friends, community and even strangers rallied around her to support her in her battle against cancer. In her journey, she met other cancer patients and quickly realized that not everyone received the support that she was receiving. She promised herself at that time that if she beat cancer, then she would try to help other people who are battling cancer so that they will never be alone and will be helped in their battle against cancer. For Nicky herself, she has beaten her cancer and is now setting about to help others battling the disease by creating the Devine Dreams Foundation. Besides holding this upcoming fundraiser on Nov. 4, the Devine Dreams Foundation is also raising funds through the sale of merchandise called “Nicky’s Fight Club Merchandise.” This includes shirts, car magnets and bracelets. More information about the Devine Dreams Foundation can be found on the website http:// devinedreamsfoundation.webs.com/.

Here comes Minecraft to Stittsville library BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Minecraft is coming to the Stittsville library. Youth aged 9 to 17 years are invited to sign up for a six-week Minecraft program at the Stittsville library entitled “Mine-power: Youth building healthy communities for the next 150 years.” The program will run from Saturday, Nov. 12 at 1:30 p.m. through to Saturday, Dec. 17.

What’s up, doc, around the village of Stittsville? …It would appear that the remains of Sacred Heart High School alumni Connor Hayes who died in a tragic accident in New Zealand in 2013 have been found. New Zealand police have indicated that a thigh bone found about five kilometers downstream from the spot where a van carrying Connor and his girlfriend Joanna Lam was swept into the river has been confirmed through DNA as being Connor’s. It was in Sept. 2013 that Connor, then 25 years old, and his girlfriend Joanna Lam from Kingston were killed while

vacationing in New Zealand when their camper van was swept off the road in a landslide and into the Haast River. Joanna Lam’s body was recovered but Connor’s body was never found at that time. A thigh bone has now been found and connected to Connor. A new search along the river has also recovered a number of other bones that may be associated with Connor. Connor was a student leader and athlete during his time at Sacred Heart. His father Mike is a former teacher at Sacred Heart. An award in honour of Con-

Notice of Proposed Official Plan and Zoning By-Law Amendments Density Index In accordance with the Planning Act and Section 5.2.3 of the Official Plan for the City of Ottawa, notice is hereby provided that Zoning By-law Amendment and Official Plan Amendment proposals have been initiated by the Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department of the City of Ottawa. The proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning By-law Amendment (ZBA) affect properties city wide. The purpose of the proposed OPA is to set forth the parameters within the Official Plan under which the Zoning By-law Density Rates, which accompany this Official Plan Amendment, may be amended. The Zoning By-law Density Rates are intended to have general applicability to a land use wherever it may be located, and therefore should only be amended on a site-specific basis under certain circumstances. The purpose of the proposed ZBA is to create a new tool called the Density Index under the Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2008-250. Density refers to how much development there is on a lot, regardless of the shape or height of a building. This new tool is being introduced to require that all lots within Official Plan-designated Intensification Target Areas be subject to minimum densities, as indicated in the Official Plan, the document that guides land use and manages growth in the City of Ottawa. The land to which the proposed OPA (file No. D01-01-14-0017) applies is also subject to the proposed ZBLA (file No. D02-02-14-0088). To review additional information and materials related to the proposed amendments, please contact the undersigned planner or visit ottawa.ca/densityindex. The City of Ottawa would like to receive comments regarding the proposed amendments. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, fax or e-mail by December 1, 2016. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment and Zoning By-law amendment, or of the refusal to amend the official plan or zoning by-law, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and the proposed bylaw is passed, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted and before the proposed by-law is passed, the person or public body may not be added as a party to the hearing of an appeal before the Ontario Municipal Board unless, in the opinion of the Board, there are reasonable grounds to do so.

Milano’s donates $5,000 BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Ryan Goodwin (right), president of the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA), receives a $5,000 donation to the SMHA from the new Milano’s Pizzeria on Stittsville Main Street, with the giant cheque being presented by Talal El-Mezel (left) and Mike Tabaja (centre) of Milano’s.

IRELAND May 9 – May 18, 2017

The newly opened Milano’s Pizzeria in Stittsville has donated $5,000 to the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA). This is in addition to a similar $5,000 donation to 16 year old Jonathan Pitre who is currently in Minneapolis awaiting a steam cell transplant to combat the advance of his blistering skin disease epidermolysis bullosa. All of these funds come from the Stittsville location’s opening week sales. This new Milano’s Pizzeria on Stittsville Main Street opened on Monday, Oct. 17, generating $10,000 in sales in the first week of business. It is this revenue that Milano’s is splitting between SMHA and Jonathan Pitre. This is the first time that Milano’s Pizzeria has donated all of the sales from the opening week of business at a location. When Milano’s opened a location in Osgoode last year, it do-

nated the revenue from one day of sales. But there has been nothing as extensive and big as this donation by the new Stittsville location. The SMHA will be dispersing its $5,000 to help about 35 minor hockey teams which do not have the level of sponsorship of some other SMHA teams. Mike Tabaja of Milano’s Pizzeria in Stittsville said that Milano’s is happy to be able to support SMHA as well as Jonathan Pitre. He said that Milano’s feels that there is a need for its food offerings in Stittsville as the community is growing. Milano’s has opened three locations in the past year, giving it 31 locations in total now, mostly in the Ottawa area and the Ottawa Valley. Milano’s has grown to this point from starting as a small family run business almost 50 years ago. This new Milano’s Pizzeria in Stittsville is located at 1589 Stittsville Main Street. The phone number is 613-836-9966.

Two freak accidents in Stittsville Town League BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

It was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bloody Thursdayâ&#x20AC;? in the Stittsville Town League on Oct. 27. Blood was flowing as a result of two freak on-ice accidents which saw two players go off to the emergency department for stitches. One player got hit on the chin with a puck, creating a wound. In the other incident which could have been very tragic but thankfully was not, a player fell on the skates of another player,

with both skates hitting his eyes. One skate created a cut partly on an eyelid and partly on an eyebrow while the other skate cut an eyelid. The player was lucky in that the skates did not damage his eyes. And speaking of luck, it was lucky number â&#x20AC;&#x153;7â&#x20AC;? that prevailed in Stittsville Town League on-ice action as both winning teams scored seven goals in their march to victory. Laurysen Kitchens defeated Molsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-2 thanks to a three goal performance by Kyle Gourgon

who also picked up an assist in the game as well. Other goal scorers for Laurysen Kitchens were Vinny Grant, Tyrone Vine, Dominik Rozman and Marty Ballard. Vinny Grant and Marty Ballard both picked up two assists in the game. Greg Harding earned one assist. For the Molsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, Matt Killen and Zack Hervato tallied the goals. Zack Hervato also picked up an assist. It was 2-0 for Laurysen Kitchens

in this game and 3-1 for Laurysen Kitchens after two periods of play. The Pro2Col squad also scored seven goals on the way to its 7-5 win over the Cabling Ottawa team. The game was tied 3-3 after the first period with Pro2Col leading by a 5-4 margin after two periods of play. Chris Fraser scored three goals for Pro2Col in this game. Single goals were scored by Ryan Donnelly, Chris Brussa-toi, Zach Rodier and Pat Kavanagh. Dean Galasso picked up four as-

sists for Pro2Col in this game while Pat Kavanagh chipped in with two assists. Single assists were earned by Jake Oliver, Zach Rodier, Chris Fraser, Jake Oliver, Paul Doyle and Andy Stevenson. Mike Byrne and Jesse Gimblett both had two goals for Cabling Ottawa in this game. Alex Robinson scored the other Cabling Ottawa marker. Players earning assists for Cabling Ottawa in this game included Mark Vennor, Ryan Kennedy and Drew Zuro.

events across North America as well as in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. Indeed, they have performed at over 700 quilting events for more than 60,000 quilters over the years. There were not many songs about quilting when Cathy got involved in 1991. She was hired to write music for a play about quilting when the Quilt Canada event was held in Ottawa. As part of her research she took a quilting class and, lo and behold, she got hooked on quilting. Cathy delights in finding and writing songs about unusual stories about quilts. She released her first CD of 12 quilting songs

in Sept. 2000. This was followed by four more CD’s with songs about quilting. In 2011, she wrote and published a songbook featuring 68 quilting songs from her five CD’s. She is also an accomplished quilter now with some of her quilts wining prizes at various quilting events. Cathy grew up in London, ON and has lived in Ottawa and Calgary as well as Victoria, BC where she has lived since 2000…...

Santa will be in Munster for photos on Nov. 12, not Nov. 5 BY JOHN CURRY John.curry@metroland.com

janta’s public relations elves have slipped up. The elves let it be known that Santa would be visiting the Mun-

ster United Church in Munster on Saturday, Nov. 5 to have his picture taken with favourite pets and also with members of families wishing to be photographed with him. Now, yes, this will be happening but not on Saturday, Nov. 5.

Rather, it is going to be happening on Saturday, Nov. 12. The elves are most sorry for initially having supplied the wrong date for this Munster appearance by Santa. So, Santa is still coming to Munster but it will be happening on

Saturday, Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. to have his picture taken with a favourite pet. He will also be available if other members of the family want to be photographed with him as well. Please contact Pat or Keith

at 613-838-2868 so that you can schedule a time for your session with Santa and to find out about the pricing involved. Santa, though, will only be available from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. so you should call as soon as possible to reserve a time.

Look at retirement living differently!

The flower bed at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in Richmond looks rather bare and bleak in this late fall weather but when spring of 2017 arrives, the flower bed promises to be ablaze with colour thanks to over 200 tulips which will be blooming in the bed. The tulips were donated by Richmond Home Hardware and were recently planted in the bed by volunteers Sheron and Rocky Drummond on behalf of the Richmond Village Association.

But this was the story on Oct. 19 at the Hazeldean Masonic Lodge #517 in Kanata when these four long serving members of the Lodge were honoured. Longest serving of the four was Bill Bradley of Stittsville who was presented with a 70 year service pin. Bill joined the Hazeldean Lodge in 1945 and went on to serve as Master of the Lodge in 1952. Two certificates and pins marking 60 years of service were presented to Lodge members Louis McDonald and Ron Bradley. Louis McDonald joined the Hazeldean Lodge in 1956, serving as Master in 1962. Ron Bradley, who is Bill Bradley’s brother,

joined the Hazeldean Lodge in 1956 as well. A 50 year service pin was presented to Keith Lackey who joined the Hazeldean Lodge in 1966. All four of these long time Lodge members were praised and thanked for their service by Bart Seaton who is the current Master of Hazeldean Lodge, by Trevor Hemmerling who is Deputy District Grand Master, by Paul Todd, who is Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Ontario, and Barry Burchill who is a Grand Lodge of Ontario member. It was pointed out at the meeting that a total of 15 “Bradley’s” had been members of the Hazeldean Lodge over its 102 years of existence. The Hazeldean Lodge celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding in 2014.

Christmas bazaar, bake sale at St. Andrew’s BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Combine baked goods and preserves, a white elephant table, an accessories table and a hot luncheon and what do you have? None other than the annual Christmas bazaar and bake sale at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville! This year this annual preChristmas treat is being held on Saturday, Nov. 19 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend. There will be baked goods and preserves galore on sale at

this event. These are worth the visit all by themselves. But there’s more, lots more! One of the most popular stops at this bazaar is the “white elephant” table where you are bound to find just about anything. It’s always popular because you never know what is going to be there for sale and it may be just what you have been looking for or it may be that intriguing object that just hits your fancy to the button. It’s an exciting feature at the bazaar and one that you will not want to miss. And then there’s the “accessories” table which is a new

feature at this bazaar this year. This table will feature gently used purses, scarves and jewellery. It’s a “must” view at the bazaar. And after you have visited these bake, white elephant and accessories tables, you can then sit down and enjoy a hot luncheon that has two things going for it – it will be delicious and it will be prepared and served by someone else. You don’t have to do anything but to sit down and enjoy it! And what a luncheon! It will be Hawaiian meat balls and rice along with salad, a dinner roll, dessert and a

It is two more victories for the Richmond Royals of the Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2. The Royals defeated the visiting Ottawa Canadians 4-1 at the Richmond arena on Sunday afternoon, Oct. 30. This came following a 7-3 win over the Casselman Vikings in Casselman on Thursday night, Oct. 27. In the 4-1 victory over Ottawa Canadians on Oct. 30, the Royals led 2-0 after the first period and held a 3-1 lead going into the third period. Richmond peppered 42 shots at the Ottawa goal while Ottawa responded with 40 shots at the Richmond net. Aaron Hickie scored two goals for the Royals in this game with single goals going to Joey Laird and Mason Farnes. Matt Veaudry picked up two assists for the Royals in this game. Earning single assists in this game were Joey Laird, Ryan Cullen, Jack Chudleigh and Jordan Boutilier. On Oct. 27 in Casselman, the Royals scored the first five goals of the game with the hometown Vikings not getting on the scoreboard until the 5:54 mark of the third period as the Royals skated to a 7-3 victory.

November 3, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Frequently Asked Questions about LRT Changes to OC Transpo Dear residents, I’ve been receiving a few questions regarding Ottawa’s Light Rail Transit (LRT) system and how the transfer from “regular route” to “express route” will impact customers. Many changes will be occurring incrementally throughout the year with some of the shifts beginning as early as this winter. I have inquired with traffic staff with some of the more common questions and compiled the following information for residents’ convenience. In 2017 buses to Kanata & Stittsville 252, 256, 261, 262, 263, 264, 265, 267, 268 & 269 won’t stop at Westboro, Dominion, Lincoln Fields, or Pinecrest Station. Will OC Transpo be notifying riders of this change? OC Transpo will be supplying detailed information to customers through octranspo.com, on board buses, and at the stations affected. The information to customers will begin dissemination in mid-November. Will larger buses/more buses be sent to accommodate the increased ridership? Capacity will be increased on routes where a net ridership increase is expected. The unified fare will allow some customers to move from a Rapid route to a Connexion route, and the revised stopping pattern will require short-distance travellers to move from a Connexion route to a Rapid route. Ridership levels and changes in ridership patterns will continue to be monitored in case any further capacity adjustments are required. Has OC Transpo taken into account the effect that the LRT will have on buses? The changes that are being made during 2017 and 2018 are all to integrate the bus service with the improved travel that the O-Train Confederation Line will provide. There are expectations that there will be an increase in system ridership over the medium term as new customers are attracted by the improved reliability and comfort, and as employment levels in downtown are able to increase with the increased transportation capacity. Residents are concerned that the option to take the express routes that culminate in Stittsville will be greatly reduced, and these buses very possibly will be so full that they will not even stop at Tunney’s. What mitigating measures will be taken to ensure that Stittsville residents continue to receive timely and assured transportation? The change to the stopping pattern on the Connexion routes to Stittsville – Routes 261, 262, and 263 – is specifically being made to ensure that there will be capacity available for customers travelling to Stittsville. By removing service at the stations along the Transitway after Tunney’s Pasture, customers travelling to those stations are required to use other services, primarily Rapid routes like Routes 91, 92, 94, 95, 97, and 97. Is there a possibility to implement earlier/later routes for the current express routes in Stittsville? Based on the suggestions provided, OC Transpo staff are currently evaluating the benefits, costs, and financial feasibility to add earlier or later service. I would like to also take a moment to thank all residents for their patience during this transition. Light Rail Transit is a huge shift for the entire City of Ottawa and while changes will be necessary in ensuring its success, I am also confident that what we will see by the end of the process is a consistent twenty-first century transportation system that will benefit Ottawa residents for many years to come. If you have any questions that were not answered in this article, please do not hesitate to share them with me and I will be happy to compile a second set of frequently asked questions alongside OC Transpo. Please email all questions to Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

Carp at Hazeldean Traffic Inquiri I’ve been hearing concerns from several residents over the past few months regarding the intersection at Carp Road and Hazeldean. Many residents feel as though an advance left turn signal needs to be implemented for vehicles turning eastbound from Hazeldean onto Carp Road. This has been a major discussion for at least two years with traffic staff and I am happy to supply an update. Having discussed this concern with the City’s Traffic Department, Traffic Staff conducted review on 12 hours of video footage of the intersection during morning rush-hour over the last two months. The footage concludes that while eastbound traffic turning left from Hazeldean onto Carp Road (toward the 417) is high, it does not spill out of the left-turn storage lane. Secondly, there is a very low volume of westbound traffic on Hazeldean Road to interfere with eastbound drivers turning left. Overall, traffic staff concluded that eastbound left-turn vehicles experienced an excellent level of service, and therefore did not recommend that any traffic signal changes be made at this time. Traffic staff also took time to review suggestions to create a dedicated right turn lane at this intersection as drivers in the northbound curbside lane are often not expected to continue straight through the intersection. However, as analysis has shown that this would nearly double the northbound straight through queue length during all periods of the day, this was not recommended. I hope that this helps to resolve some residents’ inquiries regarding this intersection. Of course, should residents have any alternative ideas/questions, I encourage you to contact my office by emailing me at shad.qadri@ottawa.ca or by phoning me at 613.580.2476.

54 hectare site fronting on Huntmar Drive to have about 1120 housing units BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

A development with approximately 1120 residential units, a 2.5 hectare commercial area, three automobile dealership areas and an 11 hectare district park is being proposed for a 54 hectare site with frontage on Huntmar Drive. The future north-south arterial road for the Kanata West lands bisects the proposed plan of subdivi-

sion, connecting to two collector roads including a proposed Stittsville Main Street extension. The site is south and west of the Palladium Auto Park, with Feedmill Creek running along its western border. The Fairwinds North subdivision is located south of much of the site. Of the proposed 1120 residential units in this development, the breakdown would be 174 detached homes, 285 townhouse units, 520 stacked

townhouse units and 140 units in low-rise apartment buildings. The detached homes would be located in the centre of the site while the townhouse and stacked townhouses would be located throughout the site. The low-rise apartments would be located adjacent to a commercial area along Huntmar Drive. This commercial area along Huntmar Drive, 2.5 hectares in size, would be for small scale retail, restaurants and service commercial uses.

Three automobile dealership areas about two hectares in size are being proposed for a site west of the future north-south arterial road going through the site. An 11 hectare district park is being proposed in the northwest portion of the site. A zoning bylaw amendment and an official plan amendment are both required for this plan of subdivision to go ahead as proposed. The city of Ottawa’s planning

committee is targeting its Jan. 10, 2017 meeting as the date when it will be dealing with this proposal. Louise Sweet-Lindsay is the development review planner for the city of Ottawa who is dealing with this file. Comments about the proposal should be directed to her by Monday, Nov. 14. She can be contacted by phone at 613-580-2424, ext. 27586 or via email at Louise.Sweet-Lindsay@ottawa. ca.

Turmoil surrounds nomination race in new Carleton riding BY JENNIFER MCINTOSH AND ERIN MCCRACKEN

A nomination race to select the Progressive Conservative candidate for the newly-formed provincial riding of Carleton has both the local riding association and the party distancing themselves. So far, two candidates who sought the nomination have been disqualified and one has stepped down. The nomination meeting is being held this Saturday, Nov. 5 in North Gower. The new riding of Carleton includes Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn as well as an area across the southern edge of the city of Ottawa including Manotick, Riverside South and Metcalfe. The latest disqualification is Jay Tysick, former chief of staff for College Coun. Rick Chiarelli. Tysick said he was sent a one-line email Oct. 28 saying he was out the race. “I wasn’t given a reason,” he said, adding he’s asked the riding association to explain. One of his rivals, Ottawa lawyer Goldie Ghamari is listed on her website as an associate director with the riding association. While that’s not against the party’s constitution for a candidate to be on the board, according to a spokesperson for the party, several long-time conservatives are crying foul. “To me, this process has shown a disregard for democratic principles, and has made it clear that the opinions of many people in the Carleton riding aren’t welcome in this Progressive Conservative Party,” Tysick wrote in a press release. Nick Bergamini, press secretary for Ontario

PC Party leader Patrick Brown, said in a statement that two candidates had been disqualified so far, but didn’t name Tysick directly. “The Ontario PC Party is committed to the principles of inclusiveness and tolerance,” he said in the emailed statement. “Two applications were rejected by the Ontario PC Party, including that of Michael Nowak and one other applicant.” Nowak, a farmer and mechanical engineer, called Tysick a “man with deep community roots and impeccable conservative credentials.” Thomas DeGroot, the eastern regional vicepresident for the party, said he wouldn’t comment on inter-party issues. The region he represents includes the Carleton riding. Nowak, who was disqualified for making a racial comment regarding Ghamari according to media reports, said rejecting candidates without a reason isn’t unique and has been happening in two-dozen ridings across the province. Tamara Macgregor, director of communications for the Ontario PC party, told Metroland Media the party has an open and fair nomination process ...”and that includes our nomination meetings.” In a scrum at Queen’s Park on Oct. 26, Brown said the local competitions are healthy for the party and bring in thousands of new members. “Only the riding associations that gave consent to having a nomination meeting are having a nomination meeting,” he said. “So, it’s only with local support that a nomination happens.”

Now with Tysick and Nowak disqualified, the vote will be a choice between Conservative aide Brandon Purcell, who hails from Ohio, but now lives in the Ottawa area, and Ghamari. Bergamini pointed to the recent selection of Sam Oosterhof, a 19-year-old political science student in the riding of Niagara WestGlanbrook over Ontario PC Party president Rick Dykstra, as proof that the party doesn’t meddle in the local nomination process. But it would seem many aren’t convinced. “It’s understandable that, as leader, Patrick Brown has full authority under the rules of the party to impose that decision unilaterally, and after the shocking upset in Niagara WestGlanbrook last week, he likely feels compelled to limit opposition to his favoured candidates,” Tysick said in a statement sent to Metroland Media. “That said, if he cares at all about democracy, he should open the process to all and let people have their say.” Among the chief concerns addressed by several conservatives who spoke with Metroland Media were the size of the venue, where the election of the riding executive was done in August and where the candidate nomination meeting will be held on Nov. 5. There was also little to no communication about key dates and application deadlines, insiders say. It would seem the deck was stacked in favour of Ghamari, according to the picture former councillor Doug Thompson painted of the founding meeting of the executive on Aug. 31 at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre in North Gower.

“There was no guideline for the meeting itself, there was no oversight,” he said, adding people were lined up at Ghamari’s table thinking it was the general registration table, and Ghamari’s people were handing out papers with certain names for executive roles in the riding association. “People were just copying her list right onto the ballot,” Thompson said. “”I think they hold better elections in Somalia.” On Ghamari’s website, it says there was a strong showing at the founding meeting. “In fact, we were successful and elected 100 (per cent) of the board members endorsed by Goldie and her team,” her website reads. Liz MacKinnon, the Carleton PC riding association president, said the executive has just been following party guidelines. “The only role I had was to select the venue,” she said. Ghamari echoed the sentiment of the association, saying the party determines the rules, but didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment about member concerns or Tysick’s disqualification. The nomination for the PC candidate will be held at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre on Nov. 5, but many people are concerned about the size of the space. “There have been some concerns about the venue,” said Purcell. “We held the founding meeting there with 350 members and it was at capacity.” See CONCERNS, page 29

Concerns over venue, timing of nomination meeting Continued from page 28

He said the executive will have to find a way to compromise. “Not allowing people to vote would be against the party’s constitution,” he said. A notice sent to conservatives by the PC constituency association of Carleton said the members must be in the building by 10 a.m. to register before the meeting begins in order to be eligible to vote. Purcell estimated 1,000 memberships had been sold a week before the nomination meeting. Osgoode resident and conservative Rob Brewster won’t be attending the meeting because of his concerns over the way the August event unfolded. “I walked away,” he said of the voting process for the association’s executive. “In my mind it’s not legit.” Brewster and another longtime conservative, David Presley, said that a barbecue stationed beside an RV outside of the centre was completely inappropriate. “It didn’t take me long to realize it was just Goldie’s people,” said Presley, a Manotick

resident. “It was a founding meeting of a new riding association and I thought we were there to do an election, not to have a barbecue.” Presley said he’s not sure if the barbecue breaks any rules, but added the optics are questionable. “I would think of that as the same as having some kind of inducement at a poll,” he said. Brewster agreed, saying, “On election day, you’re not even allowed to have one of your signs outside a polling station.” Conservative Bob Cook, who helped Thompson sell memberships during his campaign, said the candidates seeking an executive position weren’t even introduced to the crowd. “Mickey Mouse would have been proud,” said Cook, who lives in Carsonby, just outside North Gower. “This was kidsin-the-playground-type stuff.” Aside from the venue, several people expressed concern over the timing of the upcoming nomination meeting. Originally, the vote wasn’t expected until spring 2017, but the date has been moved up a couple of times, insiders say.

Thompson said November isn’t great timing since it’s deerhunting season. Former longtime Ottawa CFRA radio host Nick Vandergragt has also weighed in. “What’s the rush?” Vandergragt said of the timing. “There are a lot more than 300 people in that riding that would have wanted to vote. And they only make room for 300? Something stinks in Denmark,” he added. Vandergragt isn’t a resident of the riding, but he’s a small “c” conservative and has been keeping an eye on the race. He hosts an online radio show broadcast from Greely. Like Tysick, Vandergragt seems convinced the party’s upper echelon is hand-picking candidates. “I think these kinds of things that are going on under Patrick Brown are provincewide, not just in Carleton,” he said, adding traditional conservatives are going to stay home on Nov. 5 and not cast a ballot. Cook echoed the sentiment, saying the perceived behindthe-scenes meddling could cost the party the riding in 2018.

“Something like this is not good for the riding and not good for the people in it,” he said. Thompson went to so far as to say the Ontario PC Party is offering up the new riding on a platter for the Liberals. “They’re alienating a lot of people, not just in Carleton, in other areas,” Thompson said. “If I was a liberal in this area, I would be licking my chops, saying, ‘This could be the one that we would be willing to put up a big fight to wrestle it from the PCs.’” Presley and his wife Lyn are big supporters of the party and the area’s current MPP Lisa MacLeod – whose current riding of Nepean-Carleton, is being split to form the new Nepean and Carleton ridings. “Quite frankly, I would wonder if…it’s a good idea for a party that can’t even run a founding meeting properly, how are they ever going to run a government properly?” Presley said. “I would have to hold my noise to vote conservative this time, and I hate not to. I would just not vote probably.”

On October 25th, a Commence Work Order was issued by the City of Ottawa to Robert Excavating to complete the upgrades to the forcemain project. As many of you are aware, this is the culmination of nearly two years of planning and consultation. The original forcemain was built in the early 1980’s and is in need of repair. The construction project will involve repairs and modifications to the existing 500mm diameter forcemain, the installation of a new bypass 300mm diameter forcemain to facilitate the repairs, the installation of a new section of 600mm diameter forcemain for the proposed future development within the Village of Richmond, and decommissioning of an abandoned forcemain in the immediate vicinity of the Richmond Sewage Pump Station (RSPS). This work is tentatively planned to begin any day now and be completed by October 2017. Spot repairs and modifications to the transition couplings, valves and valve accessories will be made at various structures along the existing forcemain between the RSPS and Lagoon Cell C as well as on Eagleson Road between the Jock River crossing and Robertson Road. An abandoned forcemain will also be decommissioned as part of the works and runs from the RSPS from Royal York St and along King St to Chanonhouse Dr. before heading north at Chanonhouse park through adjacent wooded lands prior to reaching the Lagoon site. Ottawa Public Health Flu Clinics During the 2015-2016 flu season, Ottawa Public Health (OPH) administered over 10,000 influenza vaccines at community clinics, while it distributed over 379,000 doses of the vaccine across the City through physicians’ offices, pharmacies, long-term care facilities and other vaccine providers. For the 2016-2017 flu season, OPH will again focus on providing access of flu vaccine to the general population through physicians’ offices and pharmacy providers, and outreach to vulnerable populations. As in previous years, OPH will continue to run community-based clinics in areas of low pharmacist / physician coverage. For the upcoming season, over 170 Ottawa pharmacies will be offering the influenza vaccine. Many pharmacies are open long hours, and are located throughout the city, making the publicly funded influenza vaccine ever more accessible. In addition, more than 300 physicians’ offices across the city will be offering the flu vaccine to their patients. OPH will be offering 12 community clinics in different areas of the city from October 29, 2016 to November 16, 2016, including at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre on Thursday, November 10th and at South Carleton High School on Tuesday, November 15th. Both clinics run from 3:30pm until 7:30pm. Local pharmacies offering flu shots include Rexall, Shoppers Drug Mart and Paul’s Pharmasave in Manotick; Richmond Village Pharmacy and Richmond IDA; and North Gower Pharmacy. The eQuinelle Pharmasave and the Kemptville Shoppers Drug Mart also offer flu shots.

Halloween at Toastmasters MONIKA JAIN

Special to the News

entitled “Delivered.” He was a dedicated worker and always made sure that letters were delivered to the rightful destination. This dedication was evident even after he passed away. How spooky! Monika Jain presented her project #6 speech (Vocal variety from the manual). The title of her speech was “My First Halloween in Canada.” She told about an incident that occurred in 1996 after she had just arrived in Canada. Halloween happened to fall on the very same day as a Hindu festival called “Karvachauth.” For this festival, Monika and her friends were dressed in the traditional clothing of a

married woman in India. The day took a funny turn when an older man mistook Monika and her friends as people dressed up for Halloween. Richard Cook was the evaluator for Monika’s speech, fulfilling this function for the first time. Table Topics master for the meeting was Julie Holloway. This was the first time that Julie had attended a Stittsville Toastmasters Club meeting. Members had a lot of fun with the topics which Julie presented to them. These included “Your Favourite Costume,” “I Love Halloween Because….,” “So You Believe in Ghosts” and more. Gina Cook won the Table Topics trophy at this meeting by convincing everyone in her speech of “Why Halloween should not be celebrated in Canada.” Maria Pemberton served as the quizmaster for the meeting while Gina Cook was the grammarian. She pointed out a number of interesting words used by members during the meeting including “articulated,” “full range,” and “husband 1.0.” The word of the day, “Pumpkin,” was used numerous times by Club members. Lori Holloway served as the general evaluator for the meeting. The closing thought at the meeting was delivered by Marc Carriere. This takeaway message was “Festivals are the course of joy and happiness. Happiness increases when it is shared. It is beyond the boundaries of land, cultures and religion. It brings all of us together.” The Stittsville Toastmasters Club congratulates member Gerry Tapp for placing second in the evaluation contest for Toasters International Division B. For information about the Stittsville Toastmasters Club, please contact Gerry Tapp at 613-721-8177 or via email at tapp.gerry@rogers.com. You can also check out the Club on Facebook.

The Club’s general email adpresents Gina Cook (standing, dress is contact@stittsvilletoastmasters.ca.

Halloween came early to the Stittsville Toastmasters Club. That’s because Halloween costumes filled the hall at the Pretty Street Community Centre, with members showing up for the Oct. 26 meeting in Halloween garb. So you had Helene Rivest dressed up as an “Hawaiian witch,” Sandra Gloss as “Princess Peach,” Rick Holloway as “Han Solo,” Mathieu Bordreau as a “Civil Servant,” Monika Jain as a “Traditional married woman in India,” Richard Cook as a “Court Jester,” Gina Cook as a character from the “Fourteenth Century Italian Renaissance,” Maria Pemberton as “Poison Ivy – Arch Nemesis of Batman,” Lori Holloway as “Red Riding Hood” and Marc Carriere as “Serial Killer,” complete with a chain saw. There were 11 members in total at this meeting along with one re-visiting guest, Mike Nowak. Theme of the meeting was “Halloween Traditions” while the word of the day was “Pumpkin.” Helene Rivest served as the Toastmaster, conducting the meeting and keeping it on track. Sandra Gloss presented the toast. There were two prepared speeches presented at the meeting, both involving Halloween stories. Talk about fitting in perfectly with the theme for the meeting! Rick Holloway presented a spooky right) with the Table Topics trophy story about Jackson Stitt, the first at the Oct. 26 meeting of the postmaster of Stittsville in a speech Stittsville Toastmasters Club.

SUBMITTED

Dressed up in Halloween costume at the Oct. 26 meeting of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club are (at the front, centre) Julie Holloway as Minnie Mouse and (standing, from left) Helene Rivest as an Hawaiian greeter, Marc Carriere as a serial killer with a chain saw, Sandra Gloss as Princess Peach, Monika Jain as a traditional woman in India, Lori Holloway as Little Red Riding Hood, Richard Cook (partially hidden) as a court jester, Gina Cook as an Italian renaissance woman, Maria Pemberton as Poison Ivy (Batman’s arch enemy) and (behind Maria) Rick Holloway as Han Solo from Star Trek. 30 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 3, 2016

Town-Hall Meetings On Hydro Rates Why is the cost of hydro so high? How is it possible to use little or no electricity and yet have to pay through the nose for “delivery fees”? Is this all a government shell game or is there some rationale to it? I’ll be holding four town-hall meetings on the exorbitant hydro rates facing Ottawa residents. Renowned journalist and Ontario Hydro expert Parker Gallant has agreed to join these Town Halls to brief residents on why Ontario Hydro Rates are some of the highest in the developed world. Parker has written extensively in the Financial Post about the impact of Ontario Hydro rates on communities throughout Ontario. Parker’s talk is called “Watts in your hydro bill?’ Parker will take you through every line-item on your bill, and he’ll explain what each one covers. If you think the electricity line covers only the cost of generating electricity, you may be shocked at what else it contains. Here are the dates, times, and locations for all four town-hall meetings: • November 26th, 2016 • 10:00-12:00 Mississippi Mills Stewart Community Centre – Upper Hall 112 MacFarlane St, Pakenham, ON • November 26th, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm John G Mlacak Centre Bud Purnell (Hall C) 2500 Campeau Dr, Kanata, ON K2K 2W3 • December 3rd, 2016 • 10:00-12:00pm Kinburn Community Centre 3045 Kinburn Side Road, Kinburn, ON • December 3rd, 2016 • 2:00-4:00pm Intercultural Dialogue Institute 335 Michael Cowpland Drive #112, Kanata, ON For more information, please contact his office at 613-599-3000 or email jack.maclarenco@pc.ola.org

‘La Course des Patriotes’ supports Food Bank Continued from page 32

Besides participating in the run, as many Paul-Desmarais students did, some students helped out with the run. Indeed, the run had 30 volunteers helping out to make the run a success. Paul-Desmarais students Elias Touati and Sam Sylvain, for example, looked after the refreshment table for the runners, preparing a whole array of cups filled with refreshments for the runners to enjoy following completion of the run. Run Ottawa and Bushtukah both were involved in supporting this new run.

This “La Course des Patriotes” was the brainchild of Eric Brassard, a teacher who has joined the staff at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais this fall. He himself is a runner, even participating in marathons. He praises both Run Ottawa and Bushtukah as really great sponsors for the event. The hope is that this “La Course des Patriotes” run will become a tradition at Ecole secondaire catholique Paul-Desmarais and in Stittsville generally. Besides supporting the Stittsville Food Bank, this “La Course des Patriotes” also has the goal of raising funds for sports equipment at the school.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

Q: I’m about to sign a commercial lease. Do I really need to have a lawyer review? Aren’t they all the same? Commercial leases are NOT “all the same” – there is little in them that is standard – and unlike residential tenancies there is limited statutory protection for commercial tenants. Commercial leases are in fact such complex legal documents that the process is often divided into two parts – first the Landlord and the Tenant settle and sign a 5 to 10 page “Offer to Lease” which is then followed a few days or weeks later with a 30 to 50 page “Lease Agreement”. A (incomplete) list of matters to consider when negotiating a commercial lease include: • May the lease be structured so as to reduce personal liability of the Tenant – either through the use of an incorporated entity, limited personal guarantee or escape clause? • Have the specifications, obligations and funding for leasehold improvements been adequately addressed to ensure that the Tenant obtains what it seeks? • What are the obligations on termination of the Lease? Is the Tenant required to restore the premises to its original condition at the end of the term?

His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

• What “additional” items may the Landlord bill the Tenant for? Are they reasonable? • What are the terms relating to assignment or change of control of the Tenant such as a right of the Landlord to terminate the Lease (potentially a bar to the future sale by the Tenant of its business!) • What signage rights does the Tenant have? • What parking rights does the Tenant have? • What is the term and are there options to renew? • Does the lease allow the Landlord to arbitrarily move the location of the premises? • Are there rent escalators or percentage rent obligations? • Are there dispute resolution provisions? We strongly urge prospective commercial tenants to seek professional advice before signing an Offer to Lease, as well as for the Lease Agreement itself.

Nicaragua came to Stittsville on Oct. 28. Nicaraguan-themed wall and ceiling decorations in the basement hall at Stittsville United Church helped set the stage for a Nicaragua Fiesta Night which was a celebration of last August’s trip to Nicaragua by a group of ten from the church where they helped build a classroom under the auspices of SchoolBOX, an Almonte-based organization which works to provide basic education to children in Nicaragua through the construction of classrooms and the provision of educational materials. But while decorations such as paper flower pompoms, guitar pictures, a linear mural and blue and white streamers hanging from the ceiling beams gave a Nicaraguan flavour to the surroundings, the spirit of Nicaragua and this SchoolBOX trip there prevailed throughout the three-hour event thanks to an ongoing agenda that kept Nicaragua and SchoolBox front and centre. Rev. Grant Dillenbeck, minister at Stittsville United Church who was part of the group who travelled there on this SchoolBOX trip, had prepared Gallo pinto, the traditional dish in Nicaragua made with rice and beans which the trip participants ate often while on their classroom construction site in Nicaragua. Everyone present was able to enjoy a serving of this Gallo pinto which Rev. Dillenbeck told them means “spotted rooster” in Spanish. This name reportedly originated from the multi-coloured or speckled appearance of the food resulting from cooking the rice with the beans. But it was a great and most appropriate “appetizer” for the Nicaraguan agenda that was to follow. There were videos and photos from the trip that were shown on a giant

screen. Memories of the trip were voiced by the participants as they commented on the videos or photos. There was a Skyped-in online call from Hector Ortiz in Nicaragua who was one of the SchoolBOX guides for the group there as he brought the face and voice of Nicaragua alive right there in the United Church hall. There was the making of miniature maracas based on an example of the maracas which each trip member received when leaving their SchoolBOX project to return home. And then there was the breaking of a piñata with youngsters batting it with a stick to have it spill its load of treats. There was participation by everyone, both trip participants and guests at the event, in two Kahoot! online game quizzes about Nicaragua and about the trip there, followed by a wrapup presentation of miniature silver trophies to each participant as mementos of the trip. One of the videos shown was created by trip participant Mackenzie Byce who described the video as basically ten days in Nicaragua wrapped up in five minutes of video. It featured

scenes of the wide variety of activities and scenes and people which the trip participants encountered while in Nicaragua including the youngsters there, the classroom construction, bananas, livestock such as cows and chickens, volcano scenes, dancers in traditional costumes, fireworks, music at lunch time and more. The applause at the conclusion of its presentation showed how much everyone there enjoyed this five minute capsule of the ten day trip. Trish Lamb, another youth participant in the trip, gave a commentary on an assortment of still photos from the trip. “I loved the trip. I want to go back,” she said, explaining she enjoyed meeting all of the different people there from the kids to the guides and saying it was fun getting to know everyone. Adult trip participant Paul Thompson, in speaking about his participation in the trip, noted the presence and efforts of the on-site SchoolBOX construction crew led by foreman Mario who patiently taught them what to do at the site. See KAHOOT!, page 39

Kahoot! online quizzes about Nicaragua, August trip Continuerd from page 37

This construction crew travels from SchoolBOX construction site to construction site, providing the expertise to build the classrooms, washrooms and playing fields while getting volunteer help from visiting groups like this one from Stittsville United Church. Another adult trip participant, Nathan Stevens, recalled that the majority of time at the construction site seemed to be spent digging holes for the building’s footings. Another volunteer activity was twisting and forming the rebar which was essential to the construction process. He also recalled the group’s visit to the summit of the Mombacho volcano, describing a wild bus trip up to the top. Youth participant Hannah Daly used her wider knowledge of Spanish on the trip, serving almost like a interpreter for the group at times. She recalled bending rebar on the construction site but also doing the chicken dance for youngsters there. Amy Mesdag, an adult participant who had made an earlier trip to Nicaragua as a youth with Stittsville United Church, told how one particular little girl really captured her heart on this latest trip, just like

another little girl had done on her previous trip. She told how the little girl was fascinated with her camera. She particularly enjoyed being on the construction site and a special moment for her was the celebration of her birthday which happened during the trip. Ruth Richardson, an adult participant on the trip, told of her meeting with a trans gender woman who works at the school where the new classroom was being built. She heard about how the woman had overcome discrimination and prejudice to succeed. Ruth also told about as woman who had taught her chickens to lay their eggs in her kitchen rather than outside. Youth participant Meridian Partington recounted how she enjoying all the digging at the construction site. “I was always covered in dirt,” she told those at this Nicaragua Fiesta Night, while also saying that she created lots of wire rebar squares. She also taught the youngsters there how to platy tickle tag. Stephanie Rudyk of SchoolBOX, who was at this Nicaragua Fiesta Night, gave an update on the classroom project, noting that it had

been completed on Sept. 5 after the Stittsville United Church group had left. Since then, a library has been installed at the school, with reading materials provided so that youngsters there have lots to read. Stephanie congratulated the Stittsville United Church group for what they had done in helping to build this new classroom at the Gilberto Siles school, saying that this project has made an impact on life there, providing a place where youngsters can go and receive the schooling and related supplies that they need. The Kahoot! online quizzes which were played at this Nicaragua Fiesta Night involved questions about Nicaragua and then questions about this Stittsville United Church Nicaraguan trip. The questions about Nicaragua included ones such as what is the capital city of Nicaragua (answer: Managua) and the name of the national bird of the country (the Turquoise-Browed Motmot). Questions specific to the Stittsville United Church trip included questions about what is rebar (a construction material used in the project) and which trip participant got a new name in Nicaragua (Meridian Partington picked up the name Belinda). See STITTSVILLE, page 41

Stittsville United Church/SchoolBOX trip to Nicaragua last August Richardson and Rev. Grant Dillenbeck. The group had fundraised for a year leading up to the trip. Total raised thanks to bottle drives, coffee sales and other events plus contributions from the church and an anonymous donor was $24,000. In addition, each participant provided $1,000 for airfare to and from Nicaragua.

Continued from page 39

Lots of excitement filled the hall when Hector, one of the group’s guides in Nicaragua, appeared via Skype and chatted with many of them. He said that he enjoyed being with the group in Nicaragua and said that he had stored many memories of the experience in his heart. Each trip participant received a small silver trophy in a ceremony at the conclusion of this Nicaragua Fiesta Night, with Ruth Richardson giving a verbal comment of how each one contributed to the trip. She expressed the hope at the end that hopefully the trip has changed the life of each participant in some way. This Stittsville United Church group that went to Nicaragua last August consisted of ten participants – five youth members and five adult members. Youth participants were Hannah Daly, Amanda Moore, Mackenzie Byce, Meridian Partington and Trish Lamb. Adult participants were Paul Thompson, Amy Mesdag, Nathan Stevens , Ruth

pearance, thanked Alice for her fundraising gift to the trip. Guests at this Nicaragua Fiesta Night included Marianne Graham and William Passmore, both Stittsville residents who also went to Nicaragua this year. Also in attendance were Matt Smart and Parker Armstrong who have also been in

Nicaragua. SchoolBOX was founded in 2006 by Tom Affleck to provide school facilities and materials for children in Nicaragua. By so doing, SchoolBOX is “Making Education Possible” by helping thousands of kids in Nicaragua go to school. As of Sept. 15 this year, School-

BOX has helped build 80 classrooms, has renovated two classrooms, has built 49 washrooms, has constructed five playing fields, has delivered 113,498 education packages to students and teachers, has created 38 mini-libraries and has involved 586 international volunteers.

One of the special fundraising initiatives for this trip was the effort of youth Alice McLean, who is too young yet to go on such a trip but who wanted to support it. For her birthday, she asked that her friends make a donation towards this Nicaraguan trip rather than give her gifts. A total of $400 was raised. At the Nicaragua Fiesta Night which Alice attended, she was presented with a small purse made in Nicaragua as a gift of appreciation for this fundraising. She also received a card of thanks signed by all those who went on the trip. Even Hector, in his Skyped-in ap-

Doug and Pam Champagne perform BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

There’s a song “Beautiful Sunday” with lyrics “Hey hey hey, it’s a beautiful day,” originally released in 1972 by English pop musician Daniel Boone and making him a one-hit wonder. This was one of the songs performed by the duo of Doug and Pam Champagne of Richmond at the October luncheon of the Friendship Club at the Legion Hall in Stittsville. And the lyrics of this song could not have rung more true because, quite frankly, when Doug and Pam sing for you, it is a “beautiful day.” They do over 200 performances a year, with the goal each time of putting a smile on the faces of those in the audience. And that’s what they do! Their performance included a variety of songs such as Johnny Cash’s 1963 song “Ring of Fire,” Elvis Presley’s 1956 hit “Don’t Be Cruel,” George Jones’ 1964 song “The Race Is On,” Red Foley’s 1949 song “Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy,” country JOHN CURRY/METROLAND singer Hank Williams’ 1952 song Doug and Pam Champagne hold the Sovereign’s “Jambalaya” and American folk rock Medal for Volunteers which they have received for singer Jim Croce’s 1973 song “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown.” their volunteer contributions to the community.

But this was not all. There were a couple of Merle Haggard songs which got couples Steve and Barb Vant’Slot and Dave and Marion Argue up dancing. And Steve Vant’Slot was not finished dancing as he was up again, solo this time, when Doug and Pam sang “Let’s Twist Again,” Chubby Checker’s 1961 dance craze hit. Steve’s twisting efforts evoked as round of applause from the Friendship Club folks. Doug and Pam also sang “YMCA,” a 1978 song by the American disco group “Village People.” It became a singalong in their performance, with the audience not only singing along but also “moving along” as Gloria Stewart led her fellow Friendship Club members in the “Y.M.C.A.” arm movements for each letter. Pam and Doug also sang a medley of singalong favourites such as “You Are My Sunshine” and the popular World War one song “It’s A Long Way to Tipperary.” Another favourite in the performance, particularly with Remembrance Day approaching, was “The Legion Song,” a song written by Doug which celebrates all those who are serving in the military or who

have served. CD’s of this song are provided to Legion branches in Canada with all of the funds raised staying with the selling branch. Pam and Doug started off their performance in an unusual way, namely with the singing of “God Save The Queen.” See SINGING, page 43

Singing ‘My Hometown - The Village of Richmond’ Continued from page 42

Granted, the performance did happen in a Legion Hall which does have a picture of the Queen hanging there but they led off with this song because they wanted to celebrate that they had each just received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers for their volunteerism.

They had the medals with them and later in the performance the medals were circulated through the audience to let Friendship Club members see them up close. Pam and Doug also used this occasion to sing the song that Doug has written for the upcoming 200th anniversary of the founding of

Richmond which will happen in 2018. Called “My Hometown – The Village of Richmond,” he rushed to have the song ready for the recent Richmond Fair where its CD’s sold out each and every day. All of the funds from the sale of this song are going to the Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee. The CD of the song will be available for sale shortly at a number of locations in Richmond. This great performance by Pam and Doug Champagne almost did not happen because Doug was rushed to a hospital emergency room the day before due to chest pains and eating and

breathing problems. But he did not want to miss the performance and so he signed himself out of the hospital just for the performance, arriving with his forearm and hand bandaged from the intravenous tube which had been inserted in his arm. Indeed, he had to rush right back to the hospital after the one-hour performance as he was due to undergo more testing that very afternoon. But he did not want to miss this performance for the Friendship Club. He and Pam have been performing annually at the Friendship Club for six years now.

Online Information Session Baseline/Woodroffe Stormwater Management Pond Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Functional Design November 3, 2016 to November 21, 2016 ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond The City of Ottawa has initiated a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) for a proposed Stormwater Management Pond at the northeast corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue. A stormwater management pond was initially recommended in the Pinecrest Creek/Westboro Stormwater Management Retrofit Study (2011) and underwent further assessment in the Feasibility Study for a Surface Stormwater Management Facility at Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue (2015). The proposed pond will provide treatment and flow control for runoff from some 435 hectares that currently drain uncontrolled to Pinecrest Creek. The pond is being planned under Schedule B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and will identify a preferred alternative and functional design for the pond. You are invited to an Online Information Session to review and comment on the existing conditions and pond alternatives. Please visit Ottawa.ca/baselinewoodroffepond and fill out the questionnaire by November 21, 2016. The study team will review all comments and respond to any concerns or questions before the Class EA report is completed.

‘Trick or Can’ BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

They called it “Trick or Can.” And it resulted in 145 pounds of food donated for the Ottawa Food Bank. It all happened on Friday, Oct. 21 in Richmond when a group of members of the Carleton County Junior Farmers Club went door-to-door to about 50 homes in Richmond, collecting cans for the Ottawa Food Bank. These Junior Farmers Club members would like to thank these Richmond residents for their generosity in this “Trick or Can” canvassing event. The Carleton County Junior Farmers Club is a rural youth organization based in the Ottawa area that is made up of 15 to 30 year olds interested in giving back to the community and in developing leadership skills while also networking with other youth throughout the province associated with the Junior Farmers Association of Ontario (JFAO). JFAO’s mission is “To Build Future Rural Leaders Through Self-Help and Community Betterment.” Members are encouraged to develop a sense of social and environmental responsibility and to develop an ability to be an effective leader while also being a good citizen both of the community and of the world. Each year JFAO collectively donated upwards of $50,000 to charitable projects across the province along with numerous hours of volunteer service. The first Junior Farmers Club in Ontario was formed in 1914 in Woodbridge, ON. By 1943, there were 56 local clubs and 27 county associations. Growth continued and in 1974 SUBMITTED there were 125 local clubs and 47 county associations. MemWith canned food piled up in their vehicle are members of the Carleton County Junior Farmers Club who canvassed a bership, however, declined in the 1980’s and 1990’s but in number of homes in Richmond in a “Trick or Can” event in support of the Ottawa Food Bank on Friday, Oct. 21 (front row, recent years membership has stabilized and has started to kneeling, from left) Sharon Ruiter, Quintina Cuddihy and Stephen Tibben; and (back row, standing, from left) Lindsay grow again.

On Monday, Nov. 7, councillor Moffatt is holding one of these town hall meetings with constituents at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners. Then, on Wednesday, Nov. 30, councillor Moffatt is holding one of these meetings at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond.

‘The Sow Good Sale’ is coming up on Nov. 12 BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a Christmas craft sale with awesome items available that will also help people halfway around the world. Yes, that’s right – you can acquire some unique Christmas gifts while also helping support the Seje community in Kenya. It’s The Sow Good Sale that will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, right beside the Stittsville post office. The sale itself will offer something for everyone such as one-of-a-kind high quality hand crafted items, gift baskets, stocking stuffers, gift for teachers, jewellery and baked goods. And you will also be able to enjoy a sip or two of a beverage at a café at the sale. All profits from this The Sow Good Sale will be used to support the community in Seje, Kenya including funding to build an additional school classroom, to send a team to Seje in 2017 to provide an eye clinic, to initiate a female hygiene project and to provide shoes for school children. The Community Bible Church has been supporting the community

of Seje for a number of years now. The Sow Good Sale will be funding a continuation of this support. The Community Bible Church in Stittsville has been partnering with the village of Seje in Kenya since April 2011. The objective of the partnership is to develop and to implement initiatives that holistically address Seje’s physical and spiritual needs. Seje, which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa, is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The community faces a number of challenges including malnutrition, disease, polluted water, poor education services and lack of health services. The childhood mortality rate is very high and the average adult lifespan is about 40 years. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. In addition, villagers as a rule do not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at

great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. The Seje community’s priorities are clean water, education and helping the poor. The primary activities undertaken to date through this partnership include the following: Launched a school that educates and feeds the most underprivileged kindergarten-aged children within Seje. There are presently five classes ranging from junior kindergarten to grade two, comprising about 120 students; Completed the construction of a school building with four classrooms; Started construction of an additional school building that will hold a fifth class; Purchased two acres for the school and have completed construction of a multi-purpose building that currently houses all four grades. Eventually this building will serve as a community centre to be used by the school, local churches and for local events; Developed a water system that provides clean water to the community. Wells are not a viable approach in this region so a solar powered sys-

tem was built that draws water from a nearby river. The water is filtered and chlorinated and then pumped nearly one kilometer to a storage container atop a hill that has distribution lines running from it to serve several locations including the school; Improved housing for widows and the elderly by rebuilding their dilapidated huts, replacing thatched roofs with tine roofs; Purchased three acres of land that is owned and operated by the commu-

Ennis Sisters performing in Richmond BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

It’s a Christmas musical treat that you won’t want to miss! The Ennis Sisters, a trio of songbirds from Newfoundland, will be presenting “An East Coast Family Christmas” concert on Friday, Nov. 25 at 8 p.m. at Rev. Michael Gillissie Parish Hall at St. Philip’s Church in Richmond. This concert will features carols and holiday tunes from both the past and present and will no doubt include the Ennis Sisters’ signature holiday hit “I’ll Be There Christmas Eve” from their 1998 album “Christmas On Ennis Road.” You’ll also undoubtedly be hearing their “A Children’s Winter” tribute to fellow Newfoundland musician the late Dermot O’Reilly who was best known for his involvement with Ryan’s Fancy, a popular Newfoundland Irish group. This concert will be a great way to kick off the Christmas season, featuring the award winning Ennis Sisters (Maureen, Teresa and Karen) who have won a Juno Award, a SOCAN Award, and multiple East Coast Music Awards and Music Newfoundland and Labrador Awards in their 20 year career. Their inspirational harmonies, humourous recitations, Irish step dancing and stage rapport will make for a memorable evening for all who attend. The Ennis Sisters have a number of albums to their credit, including “Red Is The Rose” in 1997, “Three” in 2000, “Ennis Sisters” in 2001, “Can’t Be The Same” in 2003, “Be Here For Awhile” in 2007, “Lessons Learned” in 2009,”The Fortunate Ones” in 2012 and “Stag-

es” in 2014. The Ennis Sisters have accumulated three gold records and have shared the stage with artists such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jann Arden and the Chieftains. Both storytellers and musicians, the Ennis Sisters breathe the simple Newfoundland island life into every humourous anecdote and heartfelt song. Proceeds from the concert will be going to the capital campaign at St. Philip’s Church which currently is completing the fundraising for the new entrance canopy at the church. St. Philip’s managed to arrange this appearance by the Ennis Sisters in Richmond thanks to assistance from Rev. Bill Penney, a former parish priest at St. Philip’s who is now at Our Lady of Visitation Parish in South Gloucester. A native of Newfoundland himself, he arranged for the Ennis Sisters to perform at his parish last year, resulting in a fantastic and enjoyable concert. Indeed, the Ennis Sisters are returning to Our Lady of Visitation Parish again this year, performing there on Saturday, Nov. 26, the night after the concert in Richmond. Tickets for this concert by the Ennis Sisters in Richmond are selling for $25 each and are available by calling 613-762-5060 or emailing ennisst.p@gmail.com. Prompt action is recommended as there are only 325 tickets available. The Ennis sisters were born and raised on Irish Newfoundland tunes. Their father is a traditional button accordion player while their mother grew up surrounded by music. As a result, the sisters grew up surrounded by music.

Sam Griffin attends Sacred Heart’s leadership camp BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Fellow students at Sacred Heart High School told grade nine student Sam Griffin that attending the school’s leadership camp would not be any fun. But Sam, who is 14 years old, applied and was selected and when he returned from the three day camp earlier this fall, he proclaimed that the experience was “fun” and he is now going to try to attend next year as well. The leadership camp took place at a camp near Kingston which not only featured cabins and a main hall but activities such as canoeing, kayaking, rock climbing, swimming and more. There for three days and two nights, Sam participated in a schedule that included activities like rock climbing and kayaking, workshops conducted by grade 12 students and evening campfires. The workshops were especially illuminating. One, for instance, saw students building shelters out of materials

which were provided, such as hockey sticks. This ended up helping the students realize just how much better things can be built in a wealthy country like Canada with lots of proper materials than in other countries where things are scarce due to poverty. Another activity in which three students had to climb up a pole and position themselves on a small platform at the top that could barely hold two people showed the students the value of communication skills and teamwork. Yet another workshop showed the difference between a dictatorial leader and leadership which involves everyone. The dictatorial leader (North Korea, by the way) did everything and ordered everyone around. However, on the other team, members were able to talk to each other and determine the best ideas in moving forward. Attendance at the leadership camp did impact Sam. He said that now, after attending the camp, this for-

merly self-admitted “pretty loud guy” knows when he should stop talking and listen instead. Because of his own personality, Sam says that he likes being involved in school, saying it is more fun that way and makes the school experience more enjoyable. This year he is helping coach the grade seven/eight wrestling team. Last year he joined the school play which allowed him to meet more students and indeed, he says, these were fellow students that he would not normally have met had he not gotten involved with the play. Sam says that gym class is his favourite class at school as he does not particularly enjoy sitting at a desk. However, he does like science a lot as well. Outside of school, Sam plays lacrosse with the Nepean Knights. He says that he likes playing lacrosse because it allows him to “hit” other players, something that he cannot do in the house league

hockey that he also plays. “I like hitting,” he says. Besides lacrosse and hockey, Sam is involved in wrestling and jiu jitsu, admitting that he loves to wrestle. Sam also does a lot of BMX and biking and admits that he will try just about any sport, at least once. He also has a business going, as he fixes small engines with a friend of his. They look for free engines online on kijiji and then they fix them up and sell them, again mostly on kijiji. He admits that he has had no formal training in mechanics but has used books and YouTube to learn how to work on small engines. He says that he was in grade five or so when he first ripped apart an engine and tried to fix it. Last summer he worked as an engine mechanic at the Karters Korner go kart track. Sam is the youngest of five siblings as he has three sisters and one brother, all older than himself.

RVA meeting about Energy East pipeline BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The proposed Energy East oil pipeline which would pass close by Richmond will be the focus at a public meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 8 at 8 p.m. being hosted by the Richmond Village Association (RVA). The meeting will be held at the upstairs hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) with all area residents invited to attend. Those attending will have an opportunity to provide input through questions and comments. This input will be helpful as the RVA prepares a submission to the National Energy Board about this oil pipeline proposal. The RVA is planning to provide information to the National Energy Board about Richmond’s water resources. At present the RVA is planning to demand that the National Energy Board, TransCanada Pipelines which is the proponent of the project and the federal government ensure that where sources of groundwater are placed at risk by the pipeline that all available means be taken to mitigate the risks. Actions could include re-routing the pipeline, double walling or reinforcing the pipeline, ensuring the use of state-of-the-art monitoring tools, providing multiple emergency automated shutdown mechanisms and

robust emergency preparedness procedures and infrastructure. In addition, the RVA expects to demand that residents and landowners adjacent to the pipeline be indemnified from all impacts of leaks and contamination of well water by both TransCanada and the federal government and that the burden of proof in any contamination of well water rest with the pipeline owner to provide that the pipeline was not the source of the contamination. At the Nov. 8 meeting, Mike Fletcher of Munster, representing Ecology Ottawa, will present an overview of local issues related to the pipeline as well as general environmental issues related to its construction. He will go over some of the claimed benefits of the pipeline and will outline the approval process. It may be noted at the meeting that spills from pipelines do happen. Richmond residents must therefore ask themselves whether the aquifer feeding local wells could survive a potential spill such as the over 4,000,000 plus litres of oil that would spill in the 22 minutes that it would take for the pipeline’s automated systems to detect and shut down from a pipeline failure. There are also questions about the possibility of slow leaks in the pipeline that are undetectable with current technology. There is also a concern regarding the training of local volunteer firefighters who might

have to confront a spill situation, perhaps with little knowledge of the type of product that has spilled. TransCanada proposes to re-purpose an existing natural gas pipeline to serve as this new oil pipeline. Some re-purposed pipelines

in the United States have experienced failures. The main product that the proposed Energy East pipeline would carry is diluted bitumen. It has a tendency to sink and would sink in a body of water.

Carroll, Francis “Frank” Retired CBC

Peacefully at the Elisabeth Bruyere Hospital, Ottawa on Monday morning, October 24 2016. Frank Joseph Carroll passed away peacefully at age 90. Beloved husband of the late Joan (nee Evans). Dearly loved father of Michael and David. Predeceased by son Robert and grandson Jeffrey. Grandfather of Shauna Dusel, Pennsauken, New Jersey. Also survived by sisters Joan and Helen and sister-in-law Mary Charlebois. Predeceased by sister Bernice and brother Don. Friends and family were invited to pay their respects at St. John The Apostle Catholic Church, 2340 Baseline Road, Ottawa on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 from 12 noon until time of Mass of Christian Funeral at 2 p.m. with interment followed at Pinecrest Cemetery.

TUBMAN, William Garth

September 9, 1953 – October 21, 2016 Peacefully and surrounded by family, Garth courageously gave up his battle with cancer on Friday, October 21 at the age of 63. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by his beloved wife Karen; son, Kristopher (Jolene) and cherished granddaughters, Alexa, Kyla and Emma. More than anything in this world, Garth loved his family. Born and raised in Munster, Ontario, Garth married Karen in 1977 and soon headed west, settling in St. Albert in 1979. Garth was a friend to all who came in contact with him. His contagious smile and infectious laugh were his trademark. He was prominent in the St. Albert business community as the owner of Tubman’s Drycleaning at Grandin Mall for many years. Subsequently, he was proud to work as a custodian with St. Albert Public Schools, making an impact on staff and students throughout the district. But without a doubt, Garth’s most satisfying career was his past ten years with GEF Seniors’ Housing, Assistant Manager of Kiwanis Place in Edmonton. The staff and the residents were his family and no one loved his job more than this man did. Going to work gave him immense pleasure and he continued as long as possible during his difficult final months. Garth was community minded and over the years touched many lives through his involvement in Scouting, softball, hockey, Breakfast Lions Club and Special Olympics Floor Hockey. His memory will live on in his sisters; Sharon, Marguerite, Glenda (Don), Nancy; sister in law, Diane (Dave); brother in law, Kevin (Kathleen), very special nieces and nephews and many, many friends. Garth was predeceased by his parents William and Isabel Tubman; sister, Donna and his parents in law, Harold and Catherine Barr. Garth’s final weeks were spent in the Sturgeon Community Hospital where his room was filled with friends, love and laughter. The family would like to thank the caring and compassionate staff, particularly those in Unit 17. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to GEF Seniors’ Housing in Garth’s memory (gef.org and click on “Donate Online” at top of page). Funeral services will be held on Thursday, October 27, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, 125 Larose Drive in St. Albert. Garth’s life will be further celebrated at a reception held later that afternoon in the cafeteria at Paul Kane High School, 12 Cunningham Road from 3:00 – 5:00 p.m. In Garth’s own words, “The value of a man’s life is measured by the quality of the egg sandwiches served at his funeral.” We promise that the egg sandwiches will absolutely be a fitting tribute to this wonderful man! To send condolences, please visit www.connelly-mckinley.com. Connelly-McKinley Funeral Home St. Albert Chapel (780) 458-2222

Rose, Hans Werner (November 25, 1934 – October 27, 2016)

Cooking class at South Carleton BY BETHANY WALKER Special to the News

Things are a cookin’ at South Carleton High School in Richmond. Yes, quite literally cooking thanks to a cooking, food and culture program which was introduced at the school last year, providing an opportunity for students to expand their interests beyond the traditional classroom experience. This class, taught by teachers Kristine Kortko and Genevieve Steynor, is offered in both French and English at the grade 10 and 11 levels. It features an exploration of cultures and foods from countries around the world. It all starts off with an examination of Canada in which students discuss and then cook traditional foods SUBMITTED from each of the provinces. South Carleton High School teacher Kristine Kortko A unit on Asia sees the stuarranges things in the cooking classroom at the school in dents studies food and culRichmond. ture in countries such as Ja-

pan, China and India. The students learn about proper dining etiquette in each country as well as classic techniques for cooking food which differ from Canadian tools and techniques. In this class students also learn useful cooking tips and skills such as the proper way to handle a knife and general kitchen safety. The summative assessment at the conclusion of the class is worth 30 percent of the final mark as there is no final exam. Rather, students are given a challenge to choose a location not covered in the curriculum and working with a small group of others choose three recipes from that location to cook for the class. In addition, the group must create a menu pertinent to that particular location which includes traditional food options along with a description of the area and its culture.

MARY COOK Memories With each new season, came a different set of emotions from Mother. My sister Audrey, who was much wiser and much older than I was, was aware of it, too. She said it was because Mother, when each season broke, compared it with New York, the city she left, and which still held a special place in her heart. When spring came, it never came early enough to suit Mother. She said when the snow was still on the ground in Northcote, the parks and streets would already be in bloom in New York. She said she could even smell the flowers in her mind’s eye, which seemed mighty strange to me. Before I could smell anything, it had to be right in front of me. Mother said it took ages for her to get the smell of winter out of the house. Even though the house was cleaned from top to bottom every Saturday, there was always ash and soot from the cook stove being in the closed up kitchen over the winter months. And then she would lament that in New York, no one had a cook stove, and the only ashes came from the fireplace in the parlour, which was cleaned out every time it was used. And I would try to picture the fireplace, and I knew there would have to be a very large parlour to hold it, not a

Mother’s moods fluctuated with the seasons little room off the kitchen like we had in Northcote. “Sure miss New York in the spring time,” she would say. And when summer finally came, she lamented about the heat that closed in around our old log house like a vice. The only relief came from rests in the grape arbour on the wood swing, fanning ourselves with folded-up copies of the Renfrew Mercury. And Mother would talk about the big electric fans that cleared the heat out of the house in New York, and with the sweat poring off her face, I knew her thoughts were a million miles away. And then there were the summer house flies, that Mother was sure had had a stop in the cow byre before finding their way into the house. She swatted, and sprayed with enough flytox to kill all the flies in Renfrew County, and she would say, “hardly ever saw a fly in New York.” And it didn’t matter how tight money was, she could always find enough to fill the hand-pumped can with flytox, and sending everyone outside, she filled the kitchen with the mist that hung like gossamer clouds from the ceiling to the floor. And she would say the flies carried enough germs to wipe out our entire family! And she would repeat again,

that she could count on one hand the number of flies she ever saw in New York. And when she wasn’t lamenting about the summer flies, she was lamenting about the fierceness of the thunder and lightening that roared through the countryside in the Ottawa Valley. The log house, with no foundation, shook with every clap of thunder, and with we five children huddled beside her, locked tight inside, we waited out the storm, catching Mother’s fear, and sure that the next bolt of lightning would send us all into oblivion. And again, Mother would liken the valley storms with those she saw in New York, where the high skyscrapers dulled the sounds and where electric lights diminished the lightning. “No comparison,” she would say, “no comparison at all.” And with fall in the air, and the onslaught of winter just around the corner, she would prepare for the long cold days ahead, ever mindful that when the snow came, there was a good chance that we could be locked in at home for days while Father worked at clearing the long lane of the drifts. There would be no car until spring. And sometimes it would be too bitterly cold to make it into Renfrew 12-and-a-half miles away, and on those Saturdays there would be no eggs, chickens, butter and sticky buns delivered door-to-door to add to the egg-money in the sugar bowl in the cupboard. And she would sit at night, at the end of the pine table writing in her diaries, and I knew without a doubt, she would be putting into words her memories of another place and another time.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

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

ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you stand to make a strong impression this week. Others at work may see your abilities in a new light, and you could be treated differently from this point on. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, pay extra attention to the people who really matter in your life, namely your friends and family members. Redirecting your attention will yield positive results. GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, nothing says work or business has to be dull. Make your workday experience more fun, and you may be more inclined to put more of yourself into your work. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, it can sometimes be beneficial to escape from the hectic pace of daily life and spend some time on your own, especially if it means recharging. Make the most of an upcoming respite. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, the ride may prove bumpy for the next few days, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Expect little time to yourself, but when you get a break, make the most of it. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Most of your plans are going to go perfectly this week, Virgo. Enjoy this stroke of good luck because you have earned it. Invite some loved ones along for the ride.

LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, take a new approach to resolving a stalemate. If you give a little, you might end up getting a lot. Listen to the other person’s point of view more closely. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Expect your endurance to be put to the test this week, Scorpio. If you can muster some additional energy, you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, wake up a few minutes earlier each day and give yourself extra time to enjoy the peace and quiet that early morning provides. You’ll start the day fresh. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, embrace others for the people they are. Each person brings something different to the table, and embracing those differences can help create lasting friendships. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, connecting with other people may become a bigger part of your job in the near future. Start polishing your social skills so you’ll be ready. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, if a relationship has not been going as you had hoped, it may be time to take inventory and see what needs changing.

‘A Christmas Kaleidoscope’ concert on Dec. 3 & 4 BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

A kaleidoscope is a tube-like optical instrument that has mirrors and loose pieces of coloured glass or plastic inside at one end so that you see many different patterns when you turn the bub while looking in through the other end. That’s its definition but the word is more often now used to describe a situation in which there is a constantly changing pattern of objects or elements. And this will be the case at the Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus this year which is being called “A Christmas Kaleidoscope.” The concert will be featuring a constant variety of tunes celebrating the season of winter and, more specifically, Christmas.

The music at the concert will range from spiritual to jazz to rag to show tunes. Some will be top tapping; others will engender silent reflection. While it will be celebrating Christmas, the concert will also be celebrating winter as well. So this “A Christmas Kaleidoscope” will have something for everyone’s musical taste, all in the spirit of Christmas and winter, a true kaleidoscope of musical sounds of the season. Joining the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus for this year’s Christmas concert will be the vocal group Gracenote featuring the trio of singers Allison Fagan, Lynn Lane and Diane Coulterman, accompanied by Andy Duffy on keyboard. Gracenote has just recently

performed to a full house at a Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. “A Christmas Kaleidoscope” concert will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church at 20 Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata and again on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m. at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road near Huntmar Drive. Tickets should be available soon. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is directed by Robert Dueck of Stittsville. The 40 voice chorus blends soprano, second soprano with first and second alto to create a seamless musical sound – a kaleidoscope of music, you could say.

pate will leave the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street at 1:30 p.m. to arrive at the cenotaph just before 2 p.m. An open house will be held at the Stittsville Legion Hall following the Remembrance Service at the cenotaph.
