in Sept. 2015. However, additional delays related to the purchase of the land, the availability of municipal services at the site and approval of a building permit by the city of Ottawa meant that construction work could not begin until this fall. Because of these latest delays, the new high school will still open in Aug. 2015 but it will begin in temporary premises at ecole secondaire Catholique Pierre Savard in Barrhaven. It will operate there with its own classes and own schedule until the new school premises on Abbott Street are ready in Feb. 2016. Students cannot continue to attend the Catholic College Franco-Ouest at Bells Corners where they have been attending because it has reached its maximum capacity and cannot accommodate any more students in Sept. 2015. This new French Catholic high school on Abbott Street will open as a grade seven to grade nine school. Grade ten will be added for the 20162017 school year with grade 11 being added for the 2017-2018 school year and grade 12 added for the 2018-2019 school year. See WORK BEGINS, page 3

This provides consumers, businesses and governmental entities with the assurance that an ISO-certified item is produced to the same standards in one part of the world as another. ISO 13485:2003, which is the certification process which L-D Tool & Die has recently successfully completed, is a sector specific quality standard for the medical device industry. The standard’s full name is ISO 13485:2003, Medical Devices – Quality Management Systems – Requirements for Regulatory Purposes. Medical devices come in close contact with patients and as such, they require high criteria for their design and manufacture. Companies such as L-D Tool & Die that implement an ISO 13485 quality system are viewed as taking a world-class approach to the design, development, manufacture, distribution and servicing of medical devices. Certification to ISO 13485 is considered to provide a major competitive advantage for medical device companies.

Tysen Lefebvre reaches $200,000 first year goal John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Tysen Lefebvre’s goal is to raise one million dollars over five years. And after one year, he is right on track to reach his goal as he reached the first year’s $200,000 fundraising goal just in time for his campaign’s first anniversary on Wednesday, Oct. 29. The funds are all going to Make-AWish Eastern Ontario for the granting of 100 wishes for youngsters facing life threatening medical conditions. Each wish costs about $10,000. And Tysen’s campaign continues to move along, now in its second year. He has received a donation on his “Mission To A Million” website for $10,000 from Marathon Drilling.

Ottawa Valley Tours

And last Friday he was at the free ice cream giveaway at Lois ‘n Frimas ice cream parlour at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street where donations were accepted for his campaign and a total of $170 was raised. Tysen Lefebvre, who is now 14 years old, launched his “Mission To A Million” campaign in support of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario on Oct. 29, 2013. His goal is to raise one million dollars over five years to help grant wishes for children with life threatening medical conditions. The $200,000 raised in the first year is going for the granting of 20 wishes. These children include Avery, aged 5, who lives with a genetic syndrome and got the wish to have a hot tub; John, aged 15, who has sickle cell and got his wish to meet his favourite dance group, the JabbaWokeez; and

Ashley, aged 16, who has spina bifida and got her wish to visit a mall for the first time and enjoy a shopping spree. Tysen, who lives with Phiffer Syndrome, was inspired to begin his “Mission To A Million” when his own wish to meet his favourite actor, Adam Sandler, was granted by MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario in 2012. He began fundraising for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario because he wanted

to help other children have the same magical wish experience that he had. “At 14 years old Tysen is already a superstar,” says Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario CEO Tanya Desjardins. “He is an inspiration to us and we are so thankful for his hard work and dedication to the Make-A-Wish cause.” Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario has been able to grant more wishes in the past year than would have been

the case had Tysen not undertaken his fundraising campaign. The mission of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario is to grant the wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions. It is one of eight regional chapters which grant wishes to children wanting to have a wish fulfilled.

Ten years at current site for Stittsville Optometry Special to the News

News - Things are looking sharp at Stittsville Optometry. The eye care business has now been in its current Stittsville Main Street location for ten years. It was in 2004 that Dr. Corrine Motluk partnered with Dr. Alan Frazmann in establishing Stittsville Optometry in new premises at 1464 Stittsville Main Street. Dr. Motluk had started her eye care practice in Stittsville in 1999 with this year marking her 15th year in business in Stittsville. It is appropriate that this tenth anniversary for Stittsville Optometry in its current premises is happening in October which is Eye Health Month. In 2011, Dr. Motluk and Dr. Franzmann undertook a major renovation and expansion of their premises, increasing the number of exam rooms to four while also increasing the size of the pre-testing area and incorporating a much larger dispensary. Stittsville Optometry currently has four practicing optometrists with two associates,

Dr. Melanie Bolton and Dr. Graeme Ferguson, joining Dr. Motluk and Dr. Franzmann. Stittsville Optometry also currently has eight staff including an ofďŹ ce manager and a dispensary manager. To celebrate this tenth anniversary at Stittsville Optometry’s current location, owners Dr. Motluk and Dr. Franzmann along with their associates and staff are marking the occasion by offering an opportunity for patients to enter a rafe. To enter the rafe for a pair of polarized Ray Ban sunglasses, patients can visit the Stittsville Optometry facebook page and “likeâ€? the ten year anniversary celebration or patients can drop into the ofďŹ ce on Stittsville Main Street and ďŹ ll out a ballot. The winner of this rafe will be announced on Monday, Nov. 24. Stittsville Optometry is a full service optometric clinic that provides eye examinations, laser eye surgery consultations, emergency eye care and specialty testing. The ofďŹ ce is equipped with the latest optometric instruments allowing for accurate diagnose and the monitoring of different eye diseases.

Eye examinations for children are recommended beginning at six months of age and then at three years of age and then yearly thereafter. Adult examinations are recommended every two years while seniors should have eye examinations every year. Stittsville Optometry has a wide selection of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses including digital High DeďŹ nition progressive and Transitions lenses. It offers contact lens ďŹ ttings and stocks a number of popular contact lens brands in-ofďŹ ce. Stittsville Optometry offers a variety of designer eyeglasses as well as fashion and sports sunglasses. Stittsville Optometry realizes that the decision to have laser surgery can seem overwhelming. Its optometrists are knowledgeable about the latest advances and technologies in laser eye surgery and can provide independent assessments as well as consultations. Stittsville Optometry works directly with all of the major laser eye centres in Ottawa to provide follow up care after such surgery. Dr. Alan Franzmann received his Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Waterloo in 2004. He interned under ophthalmolo-

gist Dr. James Wiens who specializes in corneal and cataract surgery, laser vision correction and glaucoma management and surgery.

A fresh start at city hall

I

t would be easy to suggest on the heels of the Oct. 27 election that Ottawa residents cast a ballot for more of the same. Upon closer examination, however, there are indications that the latest city council will be nearly as different from the class of 2010-14 as that group was from the Larry O’Brien years. Four years ago, there were 10 new councillors elected, including six who toppled incumbents. Eight of those 2010 rookies were re-elected in 2014, some by substantial margins (Tim Tierney, who edged out Beacon Hill-Cyrville incumbent Michel Bellemare by less than 200 votes in his first campaign captured 82 per cent of the vote this time around). These councillors won’t need time to find their feet next month when the new term gets underway; they’ll hit the ground running. Six veteran councillors stepped down ahead of the election – Peter Hume, Diane Holmes, Maria McRae, Rainier Bloess, Doug Thompson, and Steve Desroches – taking with them a combined 124 years worth of political experience. Their knowledge and

wisdom will be missed around the council table. Eight brand new councillors will join the ranks of those returning, and will inject new ideas and bring fresh attitudes to debates at city hall. Some, such as Catherine McKenney and Michael Qaqish, have worked at city hall for a number of years, while others will face a steeper learning curve. Those factors alone will shape the face of Ottawa’s municipal government in important ways. New alliances will be formed and old positions will be discarded. Yet beyond the ranks of councillors, another factor will loom large over the next four years: Jim Watson’s significant mandate. It could be argued the mayor faced little in the way of competition, but that didn’t stop Ottawans from voting for him (he received 58,000 more votes in 2014 than he did in 2010). He’s been re-elected to carry on the work he started during the last term, and he’ll have every right to push that vision through. While there will be 15 familiar faces returning city hall this time around, it should be anything but dull.

Doing our own thing at the game

ith the season almost over, I finally got around to checking out the Ottawa RedBlacks and their new stadium. I think it would be a good thing if the CFL survives in Ottawa, and wonder if it will, given its past history. This season is a good test and so far the results are encouraging. The team had won only two games at home, yet the fans turned out faithfully and cheered enthusiastically. That’s a good sign, especially when you assume that future teams won’t be as bad. The stadium itself is impressivelooking from the outside, although there are those who think TD could lower its signage profile somewhat. Getting in and out is not difficult,

have liked, but that seems to go with the territory. The link between football and booze is interesting. Anyway, from all accounts, there are places you can sit to get away from all that. At least the drunks were friendly. Also, the stadium atmosphere was fine, staff was friendly and helpful, and the lines for various things moved along all right. Security was not oppressive, despite recent events. I liked that the crowd did its own thing. Frequently, they were urged on scoreboards to MAKE SOME NOISE. They ignored that and made noise when they felt like.

Hard to imagine that happening anywhere else. It’s an Ottawa thing. That’s what cities need more of – their own thing. So I welcomed the lumberjack mascot, Big Joe, and even the oh-so-Ottawa politically correct discussion about what his name should be. And if you want a distinctly local flavour, how could you not love the cheesy touchdown celebration, which consists of the Algonquin Loggersports Team cutting a piece off a log with a chainsaw. Are you going to see that anywhere else? A lot of smart things have been done to give the Redblacks a local identity, none more inspiring than the decision to hire local legend Lucky Ron Burke to sing in honour of the team during one of the breaks. That’s what the fans want, more Lucky Ron. Also, more chainsaw action and fewer mouchoirs. More wins will help, and it’s EDITORIAL: MANAGING EDITOR: 4HERESA &RITZ THERESA FRITZ METROLAND COM NEWS EDITOR: *OHN #URRY JOHN CURRY METROLAND COM REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER: *OHN "RUMMELL JOHN BRUMMELL METROLAND COM POLITICAL REPORTER: ,AURA -UELLER LAURA MUELLER METROLAND COM

likely that people will figure out how to get to and from the games more easily. Ottawa fans are notoriously fickle (remember the Lynx?) but they appear to be wanting reasons to come back next year. So there’s hope.

Ninjas at Kungfu Bistro on Halloween Special to the News

News - Halloween last Friday was Ninjas time at the Kungfu Bistro in Stittsville. A few days before Halloween, Margarita Chen of Kungfu Bistro and the Kungfu Bistro staff posed for a photo wearing their Ninjas costumes. It was the intention that everyone would wear these Ninjas costumes again last Friday, Oct. 31 which was Halloween. Most of the servers were in Ninjas costumes on Halloween evening but Margarita Chen herself found herself swamped with orders and could not change into her Ninjas costume for that evening. Kungfu Bistro was hit with a busy and quick supper rush on Halloween as parents wanted to focus on getting their kids ready for “trick and treating� and so they called Kungfu Bistro for a take-out dinner. So many orders came in quickly that Margarita Chen could

not find the time to become her Ninja character. However, on the day that the photograph was taken, she did serve in the restaurant in the costume, startling some customers. And the folks at Kungfu Bistro discovered why Ninjas do not work as restaurant servers – with their Ninja masks on, some of them had a hard time seeing and serving the customers. Traditionally, a Ninja was a covert agent or mercenary in feudal Japan. A ninja’s functions included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and open combat. A ninja’s covert methods of waging war contrasted the ninja with the samurai who observed strict rules about honour and combat. The Kungfu Bistro restaurant is located at the Stittsville Corners shopping area (Stittsville Sobeys plaza) at the northwest corner of Hazeldean Road and Carp Road in Stittsville.

After a brief column in last week’s Messenger that I wrote at 2:00am on Election Night, the Rideau-Goulbourn ward report is back in full force this week. First off, I just want to, once again, thank those of you who made it possible for me to continue as the Councillor for RideauGoulbourn. It is an absolute pleasure to serve you and I hope we can continue to make progress on the issues that matter to you. That brings me to the issue of communication and the reality that it is a two-way street. Every now and then, during the election campaign, I would discover that someone who has never once contacted me in any way whatsoever was no longer supportive of me. The reasons were varied and not always entirely accurate. Over the last four years, we have focused on effective communication through this column, twice a year newsletter, e-newsletters, social media, public meetings and a series of Town Halls in the middle of the term. These are all effective tools but they, in no way, reach everyone. While I am going to make more of an effort to connect with residents on an individual basis next term, I encourage you to reach out to me as well. If there is something you don’t like that I have done, if you feel we haven’t set the right priorities or if it is something as simple as a rumour you have heard, let me know so that we can have a conversation about the issue. If I don’t know how you feel about an issue, it makes it harder for me to effectively represent you. Munster Road Culvert Replacement As anyone who travels on the south end of Munster Road, south of Jock Trail, knows, the culvert washed out this past spring, requiring the installation of a permanent structure to improve drainage. Over the summer, temporary culverts were in place in order to maintain safe access along Munster Road. In the coming days, construction will be starting on the replacement of this culvert. Goldie Mohr has been awarded the contract and will take every precaution to minimize interruptions to the everyday life of residents in the area. I’d like to thank residents for their patience since the wash out and over the next few weeks as we make the ďŹ nal repairs. If you have any speciďŹ c questions, you can contact the Project Manager, Bin Wang by email at bin. wang@ottawa.ca. Get Involved!

Abbot Street Extension Construction The Fernbank Land Owners Group is constructing the Abbott Street Extension (from Iber Road to Founder Avenue) as part of the Fernbank Community Development. The proposed roadway will connect to Founder Avenue and the existing Trans Canada Trail will be integrated with this facility. Construction of école secondaire catholique de Fernbank at 5315 Abbott Street has begun at the north/west corner of where Founder Avenue and the Abbott Street Extension will meet. The road platform of the Abbott Street Extension will be constructed in November 2014. A number of tree removals along the south side of the Abbott Street Extension Right-of-Way are required for road construction. Various dead trees and infected ash trees along the Trans Canada Trail that pose safety concerns will also be removed. A reforestation plan along this section of the Trans Canada Trail has been coordinated with the City of Ottawa Forestry Group and is planned for implementation the summer of 2015. The Contractor, Cavanagh Construction, will be proceeding with proposed tree removals in the coming weeks and periodic trail access may be interrupted during these works. GRC Pool Update I have received an update from City staff regarding the status of the GRC pool. I am providing the full update below. The project kick off meeting was held October 8th, 2014. Ruiter Construction has mobilized on site and are currently preparing shop drawings, schedule, ordering materials, issuing sub-contractor purchase orders, etc. Construction work on site started Monday October 20th, 2014. After the kick off meeting, the pool basin was filled and pool systems were started up to confirm that all systems were operating properly. The onus is now on the contractor to return these systems in good working order at the completion of the project. The revised contractual Substantial Completion date is June 26th, 2015. The critical path of the work is the new exterior curtain wall system – shop drawings, ordering, demolition (of old), installation (of new). The City is working with the contractor to advance that completion date without compromising quality or cost of the project. R0012984763.1106

Fundraiser for MS at Blue Bamboo Yoga Special to the News

News - There’s going to be something for virtually everyone at the upcoming fundraiser for MS being held at Blue Bamboo Yoga in Stittsville on Sunday, Nov. 16. If you are a yoga enthusiast, there will be a series of all-level donation-based yoga classes offered including a free class for those living with MS. If you have a gambling nature, there will be a raffle held, with the proceeds going to help those living with MS. And if you have a sweet tooth or just love home baking, you will want to visit the bake sale featuring baked goods produced by the yoga teachers, staff and clients at Blue Bamboo Yoga. All of the funds raised by this fundraiser, which will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 16, will go to benefit the local MS Society and to raise funds for MS research. An estimated 100,000 Canadians are living with MS (mul-

tiple sclerosis). MS is unpredictable and can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Currently there is no cure for MS but researchers are learning more and more about what causes the disease and are zeroing in on 3ways to prevent it. Besides doing baking for the fundraiser’s bake sale, the yoga teachers at Blue Bamboo Yoga are donating their time to lead the yoga classes being offered at this MS fundraiser. The schedule for the yoga classes at this MS fundraiser will be as follows: 1 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. Move To Stay Healthy (all levels Slow Flow) with Diane Lanthier; 1:30 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. Boost Your Immune System (gentle) with Cara-Lynne Auld; and 3 p.m. – 4 p.m. Power of Intention (all levels Mudra based class) with Glenda Rodriguez. Participation in these classes is all donation based. Donations should be a minimum of $10 per class. With a donation of $15, a

participant will also receive a Yoga MS Project 2015 calendar. There will also be a free therapeutic yoga class for those living with MS. This Class For Individuals Living with MS will run from 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. with Kimberly Mantas as the instructor. All levels, mobility and abilities are welcome to participate. To register for this MS therapeutic class, please call Blue Bamboo Yoga at 613-435-9447 as spaces are limited. Also available at this MS fundraiser will be a locally produced yoga calendar. This MS fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 16 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Blue Bamboo Yoga in Stittsville is in support of the Yoga MS Project. This was the initiative of Natalie Van Tassel, a mother, nurse and yoga teacher in Ottawa. It was in 2012 that her youngest son, Oliver, was diagnosed with MS. While grateful for the help that they re-

ceived from the MS clinic at The Ottawa Hospital and from the local MS Society chapter, she wanted to do more and came up with the idea of producing a calendar featuring Ottawa’s yoga teachers, with the proceeds to go to the MS Society in Ottawa. Yoga teachers stepped forward as did various yoga studios and the first yoga calendar for 2013 was produced and was sold at yoga studios and online. The 2015 version of this yoga calendar will be available for purchase at this upcoming MS fundraiser at Blue Bamboo Yoga. Everyone in the community is welcome to participate in this upcoming MS fundraiser at Blue Bamboo Yoga in one way or another. For more information, please phone 613-4359447 or email info@bluebambooyoga.com. Blue Bamboo Yoga is located in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

loved one. Cognitive skills are needed to learn information, think, remember, understand, communicate and solve problems. Yet problems with cognition can result in a decline in academic or work performance. That’s why some with mental illness can’t hold down a job or stay in school. Indeed, “Why can’t they hold down a job or stay in school?” is the topic of a presentation which Dr. Mary Marquardt, a neuropsychologist with The Ottawa Hospital’s “On Track” program, will give at an upcoming session on Monday, Nov. 17 hosted by The Oasis in Kanata, a community outreach problem of Glen Cairn United Church providing public information sessions for caregivers of persons with mental illness.

That’s why this session by Dr. Marquardt should prove helpful to caregivers who are experiencing such behaviour in their loved one. Such behaviour can leave caregivers feeling confused, dismayed and helpless, with emotional and physical consequences for their own health. Dr. Marquardt will provide caregivers with guidelines and suggestions on how to deal with the challenges of psychosis so that they can better cope with their loved one’s illness. This presentation by Dr. Marquardt will take place on Monday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church at 140 Abbeyhill Drive in the Glen Cairn section of Kanata. The session is free and no registration is required. Everyone is welcome. This program serves not only Kanata but also all of the areas in west Ottawa including Stittsville, Richmond and Goulbourn.

Napoli’s helps out mother John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A Stittsville single mother who has been battling lymphoma cancer for the past three years will be going on a respite holiday with her two seven year old twin girls this coming January thanks to the generosity of Napoli’s Café in Stittsville. Bassel Khalil of Napoli’s Café presented $5,000 to this young mother, Penny Clark, on Tuesday, Oct. 28 which will enable her to take this first-ever holiday trip with her twin girls since they were born. The two girls attend A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. The holiday trip will also give Penny herself a much-needed break from the routine of chemotherapy and radiation that has been her life in recent years and will come just before she undergoes a stem cell transplant in February. The funds were half of those raised by Napoli’s Café’s 20th anniversary celebration golf tournament at the JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Canadian Golf and Country Club last August. The other Bassel Khalil, left, of Napoli’s Café in Stittsville presents Penny Clark, $5,000 raised at the tournament is being donated to the right, of Stittsville with a donation of $5,000 to allow her to take a Sens Foundation. Bassel Khalil of Napoli’s had heard about Penny Clark’s respite vacation with her twin goals.

Yarn bombing at Goulbourn Museum News - A yarn bombing is happening at the Goulbourn Museum on Sunday, Nov. 16. If you are not a knitting nut or a crazy crocheter, you may not know what a yard bombing project is. But here’s a simple explanation: yard bombing is the art of adding a knit cover to something. Known as fibre graffiti, it transforms urban landscape features into colourful spaces. Anything from park benches to buses can be objects for yarn bombing. In the case of the Goulbourn Museum, it is the railing at the front of the Museum building that is going to be the object of the yarn bombing. “We would like to add that fibre finesse to the railing in front of the Museum,” says Kathryn Jamieson, curator-manager of the Goulbourn Museum. The idea to yarn bomb the railing was first suggested at a “Yap & Yarn” session. This is the Goulbourn Museum’s informal knitting circle that meets monthly. It is believed that this finished yarn bombing project involving the railing at the front of the Museum will add a festive flair to the site, particularly

for the Museum’s “Old-Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market” that is being held on Sunday, Nov. 30. In addition, the yarn bombing of the railing should draw attention to the “Yap & Yarn” group, originators of the idea. And everyone can become involved in the project. It is not just for “Yap & Yarn” members. Any volunteer knitters and crocheters are being asked to make swatches in advance for the yarn bombing of the railing. Swatches, either knitted or crocheted, should be roughtly eight inches by 24 inches in size. In addition, volunteers will be needed on Sunday, Nov. 16 to help with the installation of these swatches. All materials, colours and patterns are welcome to be provided. The Goulbourn Museum will provide coffee, tea and treats for volunteers that day. In addition, the Museum will provide the yarn and zip-ties required to install the yarn bombing swatches on the railing. It is hoped that the yarn bombing installation will be able to stay in place for several months but the win-

ter weather could be a factor in how long it stays in place. But even when it is removed from the railing, this yarn bombing will continued. All of the swatches will be washed and then the Museum will try to find ways to reuse them in some way. This yarn bombing at the Goulbourn Museum will take place on Sunday, Nov. 16 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Anyone who would like to get involved should email Museum curator-manager Kathryn Jamieson at Kathryn@goulbournmuseum.ca or just drop by on the day of the event. Tables and chairs will be set up inside the Museum on that day for those who wish to bring their knitting projects and participate in the “Yap & Yarn” session that will be happening. Everyone is welcome. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners. For more information, please visit the website www.goulbournmuseum.ca or call 613831-2393.

June 2015 completion date for construction work at pool at Goulbourn Recreation Complex Special to the News

News - The pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville should be afloat again by next June. The completion date for the work that is to be done to restore the facility as a safe and

functional pool has been set at June 26, 2015. The work involves installing a new exterior curtain wall system for the facility. This includes preparing drawings, ordering the materials needed, demolition of the existing wall system and installation of the new exterior cur-

tain wall system. Ruiter Construction has won the tender call for doing the work. The construction contract for the work was awarded in early October. The contract calls for the work to be done on budget according to funding approved by the

Blood donor clinic Special to the News

News - A Canadian Blood Services community blood donor clinic will take place on Thursday, Nov. 13 in Stittsville. It will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street. To book an appointment to give blood at this community blood donor clinic, please visit the website www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. That’s why the need for blood donations is constant and ongoing. It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient.

Blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usually needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation.

Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year. This upcoming clinic in Stittsville is one of these donor clinics. Canadian Blood Services collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

emembrance Day

Councillor Eli El-Chantiry Ward 5, West Carleton-March 5670 Carp Rd., Kinburn 613-580-2424 ext 32246

News - On Nov. 11 each year, Canadians gather at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, standing in collective remembrance of all who have fallen in the military service of their country. The Royal Canadian Legion Dominion Command is proud to organize and conduct this national commemoration on behalf of and for Canadians. This year, the ceremony will take place at the National War Memorial in Ottawa on Tuesday, Nov. 11. The national ceremony, which has seen attendance increasing on year basis, involves veterans of all wars and peace support operations, numerous dignitaries, the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, members of the diplomatic corps and youth representatives, the National Remembrance Day Ceremony has played a key role in Remembrance for decades. Broadcast nationally and covered by media across the country,

tens of thousands of Canadians choose to show their respect by attending this ceremony each year. Last year 40,000 attended the national ceremony and numbers are likely to be higher this year following the tragic shooting death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he stood on guard duty at the National War Memorial Oct. 22. All veterans are welcome to join the Veterans Parade. Please arrive at the form up point, on Wellington Street, corner of Elgin (near the East Block), no later than 10:10 a.m. An OC Transpo bus will be at that location to provide a warm waiting area for those veterans who arrive early. You may also report to the Adam Room, Fairmont Chateau Laurier to wait. The parade will step off at 1030 hours en route to the National War Memorial, arriving at 10:35 a.m. Tens of thousands of spectators experience the ceremony from all around the National War Memorial, so arriving

early helps to get a good vantage point. Whatever your position, you can also view the ceremony on the jumbo screens set up around the memorial and the many speakers broadcast the entire ceremony. The jumbo screens will display the Virtual Wall of Honour and Remembrance before and during the ceremony until 10:30 a.m., just before the arrivals of special guests including the prime minister, the Silver Cross Mother and the Governor General. Please remember that there are some road closures starting at 7 a.m. Passholders wishing to lay a wreath must contact Angela Keeling Colkitt at 613-591-3335, ext: 244. Non-passholders please contact your local branch. For more information concerning the National Remembrance ceremony, please contact contact Kelly Therien at 613-591-3335 ext: 240.

Remembrance Day

November 11 is a day we remember You might think the legacy of World War One hangs on by a tenuous thread — as sad as it is, there are no longer any living veterans of that war. But we have the red poppy pins, In Flanders Fields, and countless books and movies to keep the story alive and to remind us of what Canadians won and lost in the conict of 1914-1918. Here are a few of the reads that best recount the era, with all its glory and losses.

YOUTH FICTION. The book Road to War: A First World War Girls’ Diary, 1916-1917 is a ďŹ ctionalized ďŹ rst-person account that makes it real. The author puts a young woman in an active role as a WWI ambulance driver on the French front. YOUTH NON-FICTION. The Horrible Histories Handbook: Trenches Would You Survive World War One? Is an engaging look at the stark realities of ground warfare with great illustrations. NON-FICTION. For a Pulitzer-prize winning overview, read The Guns of August: The Outbreak of World War One, by Barbara W. Tuchman. For a contemporary re-examining of Canada’s role in the conict, check out military historian Gwynne Dyer’s Canada in the Great Power Game: 19142014. For an interesting twist, try Canadian anthropologist Wade Davis’ sweeping account of World War One and what it meant for mountaineering; it’s called Into the Silence: The Great War, Mallory, and the Conquest of Everest. NOVELS. First published in 1920, Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet on the Western Front has become a classic. For the romantically inclined, Birdsong, by Sebastian Faulks, has been on best book lists for the last 21 years.

R0012969505

Recreation Complex last Friday. City of Ottawa staff hosted a free “spooktacular” event from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., offering a variety of Halloween-themed games and activities for the costumed youth who attended. Those in costume could get their photos taken sitting in a setting of hay bales and jack ‘o lanterns. There were two haunted houses that could be visited – one more friendly and less scarier than the other –, giving a choice to those visiting the house. Activities included decorating small pumpkins and decorating cookies in Halloween colours. There was face painting and one gym area was the location for a bouncy castle, a slide and games such as basketball.

There was candy floss given out to one and all and youngsters who handed in a paper passport featuring stickers obtained from the various games and activities got a treat to take home. There was also a jelly bean jar guessing game to be played. Some parents accompanying their children to the event got in the spirit of things by wearing costumes such as the dad who wore a convict’s uniform with its familiar stripes. Some parents did not go for the full costume but did arrive with Halloween features such as painted faces. The event took place not only in the rear lobby area at the GRC but also in the gymnasium area and in the rear meeting room. Corn stalks decorated one of the posts in the lobby area while the floor featured paper cutouts of bats, witches’ hats and pumpkins, adding to the Halloween theme of the event.

“I don’t just want to build a pipeline, I want to build a life.” My name is Erin and I’m a pipefitter. I really love my job, but often people in my industry have to leave their province to get steady work. I’m excited about the prospect of the Energy East Pipeline project because it could mean a great job, closer to home. So not only would the opportunity help me build a career, but also give me the opportunity to put down roots closer to friends and family. The more you know, the more the pipeline makes sense.

Elke Jorgensen of Stittsville wins $100,000 playing ENCORE Special to the News

News - A Stittsville resident has won $100,000 playing ENCORE in the Oct. 24 LOTTO MAX draw. Elke Jorgensen purchased his winning ticket at the Ultramar Express Mart on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. “I always buy a Quick Pick when I’m filling up at the gas station,� Mr. Jorgensen, 59, said while at the Ontario Lot-

tery Corporation Prize Centre to pick up his winnings. “I won two free plays and I added ENCORE,� he explained. When he went to fill up with gas at the gas bar again following the draw, he scanned his ticket at the self-checker. His problem at that time was that he did not have his glasses on and could not determine just how many “zeros� were involved with his winning ticket.

Mr. Jorgensen validated his ticket at the OLG Slots at Rideau Carleton Raceway. “I got a validation slip confirming I won $100,000,� he said. He then called his mother to tell her the news but she would not believe him and wanted to see the validation slip. So, he drove to his mother’s home to show her the proof. “She saw the slip and I gave

her a big hug,� Mr. Jorgensen said. “I still can’t believe it. It hasn’t sung in yet.� Other than planning to take his family out for a nice dinner, Mr. Jorgensen has not immediate plans for the money other than to put it into the bank until he can figure out what he wants to do with it. Mr. Jorgensen works in the local family business Jorgensen Roofing of Stittsville which has

been serving the area for over 25 years. He handles estimates and client services with 38 years of experience in the roofing industry. ENCORE can be played in conjunction with most online lottery games for an extra one dollar. There is an ENCORE draw every day. OLG is a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities.

Elke Jorgensen of Stittsville has won $100,000 playing ENCORE.

Members of West Ottawa Ladies Chorus love to sing News - The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus gives great performances quite simply because its members love to sing, especially with a group of experienced singers led by a hard working music director. But this is the case with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Just listen to some of the members and what they think about being a member of the group: Micheline Bouchard, a new member from Munster: “I found with this choir a feeling of confidence and empowering that comes with singing in a group directed with great skill. I am impressed with the quality of the voices and the resulting high quality listening experience. I have always been part of a choir for as long as I can remember but still searching. I think I have found the right one.” Julie Dustin of Barrhaven: “Rehearsing with our ‘very upbeat’ musical director Robert Dueck is a highlight of being part of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Robert gives great tips each week on improving our singing voices. At our ‘Garland of Carols’ concert in December, I am performing with the full chorus and in an ensemble. Although singing in the full

chorus and the ensemble does require additional rehearsal time at home and with the group, the payback is like a free yoga session each time. It calms the mind, body and spirit.” Janet Ramsahoye of Kanata: “I love to sing and being a member of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus keeps my musical interest alive. We sing all types and styles of songs and our Christmas concert music will be evidence to this. Our concert selection of music ranges from secular to sacred, English and Catalonian carols arranged for ladies voices to modern, snappy songs like ‘Christmas Shopping Blues’ and ‘No time To Diet’ and more.” Jocelyne Wise of Sharbot Lake: “Very glad I joined. We are an interesting group of ladies who come from different places, life experiences, personalities and singing backgrounds. As one of the newest members, I love the great variety of music styles, selection of songs and the effort to make a concert multi-dimensional. As learning a binder full of sheet music was the requirement prior to our first rehearsal, I was blown away by the hard work of the music director who made MP3 files of every single song and for every single voice part so we could learn our notes, practice

with a theatrical blacklight show in Toronto that was a feast for the eyes. Liberace attended a showing of their original show, Aruba Liberace, and was so impressed he invited Famous People Players to perform with him in Las Vegas. Famous People Players opened in Las Vegas in October 1975; over the subsequent ten years, the company performed with Liberace internationally resulting in a CBC produced documentary, Carnival of the Animals, and a 1984 CBS movie-of-the-week entitled Special People.

and be ready to sing right from the very first scheduled rehearsal.” Taisia Smellie of Kanata: “What a blessing to be able to sing with a choir of experienced singers and under excellent leadership. With over seven decades of singing with various choirs, it continues to be fun and a challenge to learn new music from a wide range of genres. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus Christmas concert will have a variety that is sure to please our audience who will hear arrangements of familiar carols to several contemporary arrangements including two very upbeat ‘lighter’ Christmas selections and even some Calypso music with chorus members playing some hand percussion instruments.” The third annual West Ottawa Ladies Chorus “A Garland of Carols” Christmas concert will feature two performances – one on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and another on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 2:30 p.m. Both will take place at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. Tickets at $15 each are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata, through choir

members and at the door. However, it is noted that past concerts have been sold out and it is

advised to purchase tickets ahead of time rather than waiting to purchase them at the door.

Tea room at bazaar will benefit Food Bank John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

in the tuck shop, at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario where she has been a waiting room greeter and at Guardian Angels Catholic School where she has helped with activities. “I love being around people and really helping them,� Namitha says, saying that her parents have instilled in her the outlook of really helping out in the community. She has done the morning announcements at Sacred Heart and has worked at the Stittsville Kumon Centre. She herself got help with her math skills at Kumon, so she knows the value of the Kumon program. Namitha also loves to dance, having taken dance instruction for a number of years. She likes performing on stage and has found that dance has helped her build up her self confidence. “If I’m dancing, I’m very happy,� she says. Namitha loves to travel as she has been to the Bahamas, Italy, India and the United States. She likes to experience new cultures and food, describing herself as a “very adventurous person.�

News - The annual Christmas Parade of Lights launches the Christmas season in Stittsville. This parade sees floats decorated with Christmas lights travel along Stittsville Main Street to the delight of hundreds of onlookers. The parade will be happening on Saturday, Nov. 29 at 6 p.m. And following the parade, the Christmas lights on the trees at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street are turned on for the first time, formally marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville. These Christmas lights in Village Square Park illuminate the park every night throughout the Christmas season, adding a seasonal glow right in the heart of the community. As for the parade itself, again this year there will be no entry fee but participants

are asked to consider making a donation to the Stittsville Food Bank. There is no formal registration other than the commitment to take part in the event. Everyone – businesses, community groups, service clubs and more – are welcome to participate in this event hosted by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). You should indicate your participation in the parade and direct any questions about the parade to Christine Hartig (cihartig@ sympatico.ca) or Trudy Smith (trudy_smith@sympatico.ca), both of whom are SVA directors who are looking after the organization of the Parade of Lights this year.

The parade

route goes from the Ottawa Carleton Board of Education depot building across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer south along Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Church is) where the parade ends.

Rangers meet veteran Johnny Leroux Special to the News

News - The Kanata Atom C Rangers girls hockey team not only distributed poppies for the Stittsville Legion branch last Sunday but also had the opportunity to meet Stittsville veteran Johnny Leroux. Meeting Mr. Leroux, who has a local arena named in his honour, was a highlight of the day for the girls as many of them have skated at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. Johnny, who was wearing his medals for his courageous service in the Korean War, met the girls at the Stittsville Legion

Hall. He took a few minutes and shared some history about the medals with these nine and ten year old girls. Indeed, this was a most fitting happening as the girls connected with the country’s historical past through Johnny and they were touched by this, just like the recent events in Ottawa touched so many with the death of soldier Nathan Cirillo at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier two weeks ago. Perhaps all of this was best summarized by a question from one of the young Rangers to Johnny which

was “Mr. Leroux, was it hard earning all those medals?” Johnny, responding with the utmost patience, said “It was so very hard earning every single one.” The Kanata Rangers girls hockey team took part in the Stittsville Legion’s door-to-door poppy blitz last Sunday as the players understand the importance of giving back and connecting with their community. The Rangers were a warming site on a chilly day as they distributed poppies through part of the community, supporting local veterans as Remembrance Day approaches.

Motivational speaker at Sacred Heart John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There was hip hop instruction. There were performances by hot new boy band “Rebel Coast.” There were class workshops on such topics as global awareness, tolerance, social justice and leadership. And there was the creation of banners and becoming acquainted with a “Giving Tree.” But most important of all, there was a message, delivered by motivational speaker and also hip hop dance instructor Saidat – and that message was that one person can make a difference and together people can change the world. All this was packed into one awesome day, Thursday, Oct. 30, formally known as a Retreat Day for grade seven and eight students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, but perhaps better described as a Message Day. Delivering this message was Saidat, a motivational speaker from London, ON who has been voicing this message in one form or another for ten years now. She visits from 150 to 170 schools a year, speaking on subjects like bullying, self-esteem, compassion, friendships and team building, all delivered under the overriding theme that one person can make a difference and together we all can change the world. You have the power to make a difference in your school, Saidat told students during a hip hop dance workshop in the school’s cafeteria

gym. Never give up on yourself, she said to the students, because you have so much to give to the world. In her earlier keynote address to grade seven students in the school’s theatre, she outlined her three ways for a student to survive in school – a person needs to care, share and give. Care involves caring about yourself and your health. Share means learning how to share thoughts and realizing that you are not in school to be popular but rather you are in school to learn. Saidat even brought the five members of the youth band “Rebel Coast” on stage and asked them about their schooling and what each of them does or has done to survive in school. Answers ranged from asking questions in class to surrounding yourself with good people to learning to ask for help to being true to yourself i.e. don’t be who you aren’t. Saidat also held up a facial picture of heartthrob Justin Bieber which brought forth some negative responses from the assembled students. Saidat warned that everyone does not want to be “put down” themselves but are often quick to put someone else down as evidenced by this reaction to Justin Bieber. If you want respect, you need to give respect, Saidat told the students, and this means not putting down someone else. After “Rebel Coast” sang “We Are The Brave,” Saidat reminded the students that they can be brave by asking for help, noting that their teachers want them to succeed and are always

willing to give them help. With the motivational address over, Saidat and the grade seven students all went to the school’s cafeteria gym where Saidat led a workshop in hip hop dancing, showing the students a number of hip hop moves and taking them through a routine using all of them. There was also an opportunity for the students, gathered in a huge circle, to demonstrate some of their own freestyle moves to Saidat. The cafeteria gym session finished up with “Rebel Coast” performing a couple of songs for the assembled students. Saidat also delivered her keynote motivational performance to the assembled grade eight students in the school’s theatre, following it up with a post-lunch hip hop dance workshop in the cafeteria gym. Again, it was similar to the grade seven workshop, with Saidat demonstrating hip hop moves, putting them together in a routine and leading the assembled students through the process. This workshop also wound up with the band

“Rebel Coast” performing songs for the students. Besides these keynote speaker assemblies and the hip hop dance workshops, the grade seven and eight students also had in-class workshops dealing with a host of individual topics such as communication, social justice, tolerance, leadership, global awareness and acceptance, among other topics. The day also involved the students creating a banner and taking part in an activity focused on “The Giving Tree.” They watched the video “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein and then discussed about who is their “Giving Tree” and how they all are “Giving Trees.” A “Giving Tree” involves times when a person has given without expecting anything in return. A person can also experience someone else being a “Giving Tree” to him or her, giving something to help them. But was this giving really appreciated or was it taken for granted? See HIP HOP, page 31

Hip hop dance workshop Continued from page 30

Saidat, who said that she is 42 years old with two children of her own, told them that she had attended the University of Minnesota and then studied in Oklahoma and spent time in New York City before coming to Canada. She eventually developed her program using rap, hip hop dance and drama to get across the message to students that one person can make a difference and together people can change the world. She tries to empower students, teaching them about their inner strength and how they can overcome any problems that come their way. She uses music, drama, dance and speaking to deliver this message to students. Saidat, who has a CD, writes her own songs that come from her experiences in life. Her latest song “Life” is about how each person experiences hardships but that through faith and support from others, these experiences can be overcome. Saidat’s website can be found at www.saidat. ca. “Rebel Coast” is a new five-member boy band on the scene, having won “The Next Star: Super Group” competition on TV in Toronto in April. This win marked the beginning of the group’s career which already has resulted in recording two original singles (available on iTunes) and signing a management deal with 21 Entertainment which manages a stable of musical artists.

Helping at mental health gala John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Sacred Heart High School grade 12 student Breton Moorhouse not only sang but also volunteered at the recent Bell Kaleidoscope of Hope Gala in support of youth mental health. The Gala, held on Saturday, Oct. 25 at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre (formerly the Hampton Inn and Conference Centre), raised funds for the Youth Services Bureau, CHEO and Do It For Daron (DIFD). Breton participated not only because he likes singing and performing but also because in his view youth mental health is an important cause. He notes that there has been a stigma attached to mental health issues but feels that the more publicity mental health issues re-

ceive, the better will be the chance of breaking down this stigma. He says that breaking down the stigma attached to mental health issues should mean that people will come forward more readily when they need help. Breton also notes that fundraising events in support of youth mental health are important as they allow funds to be there so that people can get help when they need it. Breton originally volunteered to sing with a group of Sacred Heart students in a “flash mob” performance at the reception prior to the gala. However, he also jumped at the chance to volunteer at the Gala as well which meant doing tasks like helping to sell raffle tickets at the event. Breton admits that he sings around the house and he has been in a couple of musicals at school and also has sung in a couple of choirs. However, he has never taken singing

lessons. He says that he listens to whatever music appeals to him, saying that this is a little bit of everything musically. Breton, who graduates this year, is hoping to focus on business or math in university. Right now he has narrowed his university choice down to Queens, Waterloo or Carleton. He says that if he does end up staying in Ottawa to go to Carleton University, he will try to volunteer again at the Bell Kaleidoscope of Hope Gala. He says that this year’s Gala proved to be a good experience and he is glad that he did it. He notes that the Gala had a lot of youth volunteers this year which he said gave the event a youthful face to it, something that he feels was most appropriate since the funds raised are helping youth mental health initiatives.

Magic show at Richmond public library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - For many, a public library is a magical place, allowing imagination to flourish through the power of words and stories. The Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library became a magical place on another level on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29 as a magic show was presented in the basement meeting room. The fact that the magic show was only two days before Halloween added to its magical aura and indeed, one magic trick saw scarves turn into Halloween decorations. In addition, a number of the youngsters attending the magic show were wearing Halloween costumes or at least part of a costume, adding to the Halloween atmosphere at the show. The 45 minute magic show, geared for those four years of age and over, featured “The Amazing Aleckazam,” a female magician, who brought along all of the trappings of one who deals in magic – a magic wand, playing cards and, most importantly, a magic word, which in her case was JOHN CURRY/METROLAND “Aleckazam” rather than one of the Magician “The Amazing Aleckazam,” left, back, standing, performs a magic trick for youngsters at the other common ones like Abracadabra or Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, that magiRichmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Wednesday evening, Oct. 29.

cal phrase used by Cinderella’s fairy godmother. And those at the show were encouraged to shout out the magic word “Aleckazam” as loud as possible whenever it was called for, despite being in a library where quiet is usually the norm. “The Amazing Aleckazam” performed a number of magic tricks for the audience, sometimes even involving a volunteer from the audience to help with the trick. She made coloured pictures appear and then disappear from a colouring book; she made a piece of paper, ripped into pieces by an audience volunteer, re-appear all back in one piece; she turned two scarves into Halloween decorations thanks to the power of the magic word “Aleckazam,” with a pumpkin and a spider created; she performed a couple of magic tricks using playing cards; she made flowers disappear in her “handkerchief of doom”; she stuffed scarves into a tube and they magically tied themselves together; she turned a glass of sugar into candy, again thanks to the magic word; and she poked a balloon with a needle, creating a “balloon-kabob,” without the balloon bursting, at least until she burst it with a bang.

Single dad desperate to raise money John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Myles and Kyram do receive help from King’s Your Independent Grocer of Richmond which helps the family by doing its shopping, doing some food preparation and delivering the groceries to the home. This saves Myles several hours each week which is time that he can then spend with Kyram. This arrangement was facilitated by Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa, a registered charitable organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities participate fully in community life. Its website can be found at www.citizenadvocacy.org. For more information about Myles and Kyram or to get involved in a community support network for Kyram, please contact Andrea Podruski, a program manager for Citizen Advocacy of ottawa, at 613-761-9522, ext. 229 or via email at apodruski@citizenadvocacy.org.

News - Single dad Myles Dear of Richmond is desperate to raise money required for the ongoing care of his eight year old son Kyram who lives with numerous severe disabilities. Up until now, he has been able to meet the expenses involved in his son’s care that are not covered by provincial health care by using the insurance money received after the death of his late wife Simone in 2011. But now this funding has run out and Myles is looking for new ways to support his child whose care costs about $15,000 U.S. over and above the provincial health care funding for just three months of care. And keeping a skilled caregiving team to help is son is vital, not only because of the progress that such care is facilitating in his son but also because without such a team to help him care for his son, he risks losing his job, his house and the stable environment on which his son depends. Kyram does suffer from a number of severe disabilities. He cannot walk, talk, sit or stand on his own. He requires total assistance with all aspects of his daily life in order for him to survive and so requires a Disability Support Worker to be with him every day. He has a tendency to stop breathing while he sleeps and so a nurse must be on duty at his bedside every night. But on the flip side of things, Kyram has a bright mind, charisma and a winning attitude.

When he wakes up every morning, he is happy and others around him are pulled into his happy world. He loves silly play, slapstick comedy and has a fantastic sense of humour. Despite his disability challenges and with the help of his trained caregivers, Kyram has progressed from a pre-kindergarten to a grade two reading/writing level within the past year. He has done this even though he cannot even hold a pencil. He has found a way to communicate via eye blink and tongue click. Myles does not want to see his son’s progress slowed down or stopped due to a lack of funding. This is why he is searching for a long term solution to his present funding crisis. He wants to start an online crowdfunding campaign and has received advice on how to run a successful online funding campaign. He is looking to identify influential blogs around the globe whose readers may support his son’s cause. He may turn to a crowdfunding source such as fuellocal.com to seek financial help from individuals. He has sought advice from three families who have recently held successful fundraising campaigns. Myles is working feverishly to become a temporary online marketing expert quickly in order to raise the funds needed to ensure the continued existence of his son’s caregiving team. He feels that his job and his house are both at risk unless he can raise the required funds in the next two months.

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

Living together?

Have you thought about a cohabitation agreement? Many couples today choose to live together in long-term and committed relationships without marrying. What some couples don’t understand is that the law treats married and unmarried, or common-law, spouses differently. It is important to understand these differences and how they will affect a person’s rights to property, support payments or a partner’s estate. Some key things to remember: in Ontario, property is not automatically divided between unmarried couples if a relationship ends; unmarried spouses may have a spousal support obligation, but only if they have a child together or if they have been living together for at least three years; and only married spouses automatically have a right to share in a spouse’s estate if that spouse dies without a will, no matter how long a couple has been in a relationship or whether they have children together. How can we protect each other with a cohabitation agreement? In Ontario, unmarried couples are permitted to negotiate a contract–a cohabitation agreement–that lets them agree on certain rights and obligations in the relationship. A cohabitation

agreement gives couples a great opportunity to carefully consider each other’s financial situation now and in the future, and decide together how they wish to share property, pay (or not pay) support to a partner in the event of a break-up, and what happens to the estate upon the death of a partner. Cohabitation agreements can also address who has a right to direct the “education and moral training” of children, but it cannot address who will have custody or access to children. That can only be decided once a relationship ends. It is important to plan ahead, be aware of your rights, and know what will happen if a relationship ends by choice or in the event of a death. It’s never too late to draft a cohabitation agreement, but in order to have legal effect these agreements need to have clear terms that are understood by each person. This is why it is critical to have a qualified lawyer assist in the preparation of a cohabitation agreement. Many couples worry that having a conversation about a cohabitation agreement will be difficult and distasteful, but having these discussions now can lead to thoughtful and caring discussions about the future.

Fashions on view at St. Philip’s Hall John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Fashions from The Real Wool Shop Boutique in Carleton Place and the Alia N Tanjay shop at the Hazeldean Mall in Kanata were on view at St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond last Saturday afternoon. The occasion was a fashion show hosted by the Beta Sigma Phi Xi Sorority Chapter, with the funds raised going to Refuse2Lose Team Bryce which raises funds annually in support of the Candlelighters Suite Seats program at Canadian Tire Centre. This is done in memory and in honour of Bryce Jude who was diagnosed at age four

with a rare form of leukemia and passed away in Sept. 2012 at the age of seven. The Candlelighters program was a huge support for the Jude family during Bryce’s illness and Refuse2Lose Team Bryce was established to “Pay It Forward” in return for this support. Since 2012, Rsuse2Lose has raised over $120,000 for Candlelighters and its Suite Seats program at Canadian Tire Centre. This Suite Seats program provides a special suite at Canadian Tire Centre where children battling cancer and their families can escape the stress of their day-to-day battles with cancer and can enjoy the excitement of an Ottawa Senators game, a concert

or other entertaining event happening at Canadian Tire Centre. It was more than a fashion show last Saturday, although the fashion show was certainly the main feature of the afternoon. Those in attendance also got to enjoy a host of decadent desserts while also being eligible for a number of door prizes given away throughout the afternoon. And a bake sale held in conjunction with the fashion show showed its popularity as evidenced by the sudden rush to the bake table following the first half of the fashion show.

Fashions from The Real Wool Shop Boutique in Carleton Place were modeled in the first half of the show while fashions from the Alia N Tanjay shop by Nygard at Hazeldean Mall were featured in the second half of the show. Serving as models for this fashion show were Carmel Dalgleish, Carol Ann Verbiwski, Sandy Smith, Linda Angus, Gloria Lessard, Suzanne MacKeen and Linda Connor. A special model was young Emma Connor, granddaughter of Linda Connor, who modeled a blue princess dress in the show, accompanied by her grandmother as together they wound their way through the round tables in the hall at which those at the fashion show sat. Among the fashions from The Real Wool Shop Boutique which were modeled in the show were shawls, a coat with an accompanying “owl” purse, a light wool jacket, sweaters, scarves, a zippered cape, an Aztec design wool jacket, a textured jacket with accompanying lined cashmere gloves, and a sequined top which was an example of the selection of evening wear that the boutique carries. The Alia N Tanjay store at the Hazeldean Mall carries a full line of women’s clothing from casual to everyday to dress up. Most of the clothing is machine washable. The popular colours this fall are teal and mauve. Among the fashions from Alia N Tanjay in the fashion show were a red motorcycle-style jacket, a vest quilted in front but knitted in back for more comfort, a long sleeved open cardigan

in violet, a leather jacket with mandarin collar and a cardigan with buttons down the front. Last year’s fashion show hosted by the Xi Epsilon Pi Chapter of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority raised over $2,000 with the funds being donated to Harmony House, a women’s shelter in Ottawa.

Unique name, sound for ‘Sun on the Floor’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

all could hear the phone’s message: “You call cannot be completed as dialed. Please hang up and try again.” Included in the performance were several cover tunes. Bob Muller led the vocals for a Jesse Winchester version of “When You Love Somebody.” Jesse Winchester is an American musician and songwriter with ties to Canada as he came to this country to evade the Vietnam War draft. He was nominated for Best Country Male Vocalist in the 1990 Juno Awards. The group also sang “Harvest Moon,” the well known title track from the 1992 album of the same

name, “Harvest Moon,” done by Canadian musician Neil Young. The album won the 1994 Juno Award for album of the year. Another cover tune performed was “Early In The Morning,” a version done by American pop icon Cyndi Lauper along with American blues legend B.B. King who is recognized as one of the top guitarists of all time. The “Sun on the Floor” trio were joined on a couple of tunes by a friend, Les Hibberd of Manotick, who played the bass when Bob Muller switched over to a guitar. This

happened for the Jesse Winchester song “When You Love Somebody” as well as for the performance of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon.” This was the first time that “Sun on the Floor” had performed at a Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. The group admits that they sing and play for the love of music and each other’s company, with their musical taste ranging from contemporary folk to blues, jazz and pop. The group is slowly building its original repertoire of songs. Relatively new to the performance

world beyond “open stage” gigs, the trio hopes to play for fundraisers, community events and house parties. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville holds a music evening every Friday beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, Gretchen Martin will be returning to the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop, accompanying herself on her keyboard as she sings pop tunes.

News - The musical group “Sun on the Floor” has a unique name which goes with their rather unique sound arising from the combination of guitar, ukulele and double bass combined with distinctive vocal styles. The trio – Linda Vanderlee on vocals, guitar and ukulele, Bob Muller on double bass, guitar and vocals and Nathalie Falardeau on vocals and guitar – brought their musical sound and obvious love of music and performing to the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its music evening last Friday. There may have been strange and spooky things happening outside on this Halloween evening but inside the coffee shop, it was nothing but the song offerings of this trio, many of them original tunes but with a couple of cover songs as well, all mesmerizing, perhaps because of the captivating sound produced when a ukulele, double bass and guitar get together. Many of the trio’s songs were originals, written by Linda Vanderlee or by Nathalie Falardeau. Linda admitted during the course of the performance that her songs tend to have the theme of relationships but it is not always the type of relationship that you might think. She performed a marvelous little song telling the story of her relationship with Bell – yes, that’s right, the communications firm that once had a monopoly but no longer. And the song ended with bass playJOHN CURRY/METROLAND er Bob Muller putting his cell phone Performing at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its music evening last Friday, Oct. 31 are members of the musical group “Sun up to the microphone so that one and on the Floor,” from left, Bob Muller on double bass, Linda Vanderlee on ukulele and Nathalie Falardeau on guitar.

News - Parents looking for home daycare or caregivers with space for more children in their daycare should make note of an upcoming meeting in Stittsville. A Child Care Connection meeting is being held on Thursday, Nov. 13 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Child Care Providers Resource Network, which is holding this Child Care Connection meeting, is a nonprofit charitable organization that provides information, training, resources and support to those who offer child care in a home setting. This includes workshops, children’s events, resources for sale such as books and CDs, a resource library, a laminator, a bi-monthly newsletter and discounts at local businesses and children’s venues. During the 1980’s and early 1990’s, two funded home child care provider groups existed in Ottawa –

the Ottawa-Carleton In-Home Child Care Providers Association and the Independent Child Caregivers’ Association. Both associations were built on a peer mentoring model with the aim of support independent caregivers. The two associations amalgamated in 1998 and became the Child Care Providers Resource Network. This amalgamation provided a unified voice for home child care, cost efficiencies for the organizations and a wider range of services able to be offered.

Well known hits, singalong tunes and ‘The Legion Song’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s easy to see why performers Doug and Pam Champagne are invited back year after year to sing at a luncheon of the Friendship Club. They entertain with a selection of tunes that includes well known hits from the past as well as some traditional singalong favourites. You can’t help but like their performance, especially if you are at or near that senior age group that easily remembers these tunes from when they first became hits.

This year, Doug and Pam began their performance with “O Canada” with everyone attending the Friendship Club’s monthly luncheon on Wednesday, Oct. 29 at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville joining in. Doug said that he and Pam were starting their performance in this different way in view of the tragic and emotional week which the country had experienced just the week before. But after the national anthem, Doug and Pam started to tap the musical memories of all those present.

They began with Charley Pride’s 1970 country music hit “Is Anybody Goin’ To San Antone” and then launching into another country music hit, “Ring of Fire” from 1963 which was Johnny Cash’s biggest hit of his career. In tribute to the sunny weather outdoors that day which even saw some golfers on the course, Doug and Pam then sang “Beautiful Sunday” with its lyrics like “Hey, Hey, Hey, It’s a Beautiful Day.” This song, by the way, was a 1972 hit by English pop musician Daniel Boone. In fact, it was his only hit as he was the proverbial one-hit wonder. And more songs followed: “Bye, Bye Love,” the 1957 debut record for rock ‘n roll’s Everly Brothers; “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown,” a hit for American folk rock singer Jim Croce; “Tennessee Waltz,” Patti Page’s 1950 hit which in 1965 was made the fourth official song of the state of Tennessee; “Jackson,” a country hit for Johnny Cash singing with June Carter; “Jambalaya (On The Bayou),” a 1952 hit for American country music legend Hank Williams; “The Race Is On,” a 1960’s hit for country music singer George Jones; Elvis Presley’s 1956 hit “Don’t Be Cruel”; and “Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy,” the 1950 song by Red Foley which became the signature song for this postwar country music star and inductee into the Country Music Hall of Fame and a song which has been covered by numerous artists such as Bing Crosby, Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra.

The one hour performance by Doug and Pam also include several singalong songs such as “You Are My Sunshine,” first recorded in 1939 and since then covered by numerous artists such as Gene Autry, Bing Crosby and Andy Williams and a song which is now a state song for the state of Louisiana; “When the Saints Go Marching In,” an American gospel hymn first recorded by Louis Armstrong and his orchestra in 1938; “She’ll Be Coming ‘round the Mountain (When She Comes),” an African-American folk song; and “My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean,” a traditional Scottish folk song. Even the 1978 song “Y.M.C.A.” recorded in 1978 by the American disco group “Village People” brought about audience participation, with waving arms. But there was no more moving part of the performance by Doug and Pam than when they performed “The Legion Song,” a song which they wrote and recorded in 2008 to pay tribute to the men and women who have served this country in the armed forces. The song is now on sale in over 400 Royal Canadian Legion branches, with Legion branches having made over $33,000 from its sale. Pam and Doug themselves have not made a cent from the song, preferring that all revenue from it goes to Legion branches. Indeed, some Legion branches have adopted “The Legion Song” as their official branch song.

Scoring eight goals to win John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - Eight was the winning number for two teams in Stittsville Town League action last week. Molsons Black scored eight goals in beating the Cavanagh Construction Grey squad 8-6 while the Cabling Ottawa Orange team netted eight goals in beating the Laurysen Kitchens

Blue team by an 8-5 count. In the Molsons Black/Cavanagh Construction Grey contest on Thursday, Oct. 30 at the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, Molsons Black led 5-2 after the first period and maintained this three goal lead in the second period, leading 7-4 going into the third period.

Take some pictures, sketch a few mock-ups, and if you have it available, use computer software to create a virtual version of your final project.

When planning your outdoor space Nepean’s own Canlok Stone canlok.com understands it can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finding the right landscaper for the job. However, many in the Ottawa-Carlton region have found that some research and a focus on your project’s goal can be significant factors in making it successful. Before finding a landscaper, take some time to learn about your space by taking good measurements and considering

exactly what it is you want to do with it. This can go a long way when working with your contractor to figure out how to best arrive at your desired outcome. If you’re working on the project by yourself, planning and getting accurate measurements is even more essential, as without them your project likely won’t be completed correctly, if at all. It’s also important to visualize what your space looks like now and what it will become.

Additionally, always keep in mind your space’s final goals. Are you looking to create an outdoor kitchen complete with a BBQ or is your main goal a quiet garden with a tranquil waterfall? It may seem obvious, but each project has different needs. When you’re working with your landscaper, take time out to ensure the materials such as stones are appropriate for the job at hand. To make your project an easy and successful one, reach out to Canlok Stone. With 43 years of experience, they know how to help you complete your project correctly, safely and with ease all at a great price as well. To learn more about Canlok Stone, visit them online canlok.com, call 613-828-7686 or visit their showroom in person at 950 Moodle Drive in Nepean. R0012978512

Donations wanted for ‘All That Glam’ Eva von Jagow

Special to the News

News - “All That Glam” is back! This second annual jewelry fundraiser to support breakfast programs at schools in Nunavut is coming up on Saturday, Nov. 29 but before then, you can really help out in this initiative by donating gently-used jewelry and handbags to the cause. Donating some unused jewelry and excess handbags for this “All That Glam” sale will ensure that lots of money will be raised so that children in Nunavut can start off their school day with a nutritious meal. Right now, that is not the case for many Nunavut children. Donations for “All That Glam” can be dropped off until Saturday, Nov. 15 at one of a number of locations in the Ottawa area: TD Canada Trust branches in Stittsville (1270 Stittsville Main Street and 5679 Hazeldean Road), at the World Exchange Plaza and on Pretoria Avenue; at TD Direct Investing Centres at Kanata Centrum, Emerald Plaza on Merivale Road and at the World Exchange Plaza; and at any of the seven Dymon Storage locations in the Ottawa area (Coventry Road, Prince of Wales Drive at Hunt Club Road, Orleans, Bank Street at Hunt Club Road, Walkley Road at Heron Road, Kanata (beside Canadian Tire) and Carling Avenue at the Queensway. You can also help out by attending the sale on Saturday, Nov. 29 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the new Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive in Kanata. There will be thousands of pieces of gently-used jewelry and handbags for sale. What a great place to purchase socially responsible Christmas gifts while also getting that special piece of jewelry that will dazzle those at your office Christmas party or at a Christmas gathering of family and friends. You can also tell your friends and acquaintances about the event. Last year, one woman was heard to say: “This is a woman’s wonderland, especially just before Christmas.” It was last year when as a grade 12 student I (Eva von Jagow) organized an inaugural charity sale called “All That Glam” which was a sale of gently-used jewelry and handbags to raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. The event was a resounding success, raising nearly $10,000. This amount was matched by Canadian pacific which meant that a much-needed school breakfast program in Coral Harbor in Nunavut could be established and funded for two years. However, breakfast programs at schools in Nunavut

need continual funding and so the fundraiser has become an annual event with this year’s second annual sale. While doing research about Nunavut for a school project, I came across the harsh reality of nutrition in the Far North. It was shocking to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket. Even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three litre container of orange juice is typically $9. Especially in the winter months, fresh fruit and vegetables are very high in price and very poor in quality. What this all means is that many children in Nunavut start off their school day

with poor nutrition. Having a child going to school hungry or malnourished like this should not be happening anywhere in Canada including Nunavut. Something had to be done about this. One way to help is to start ensuring that children receive a healthy breakfast. When the Breakfast Club of Canada was contacted last year and was told about this idea of raising money for Nunavut school breakfast programs, the Breakfast Club agreed to direct the funds from a fundraiser to specific Nunavut schools. But how did the fundraiser become the “All That Glam” event? The idea came to me last summer while helping mom clean out her closet and jew-

elry box. It was agreed that she had too much of everything. Yet, like most women, she tended to wear the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and use the same handbags most of the time. So there were lots of extras that could be donated to a fundraiser. That’s when I though – women donate clothing to causes all of the time. Why not donate jewelry and handbags for a fundraising event? This idea developed into the “All That Glam” idea as the way to raise money for schools in Nunavut. If you have any questions, please contact me (Eva von Jagow) at allthatglamsale@ gmail.com or check out Facebook at ALL THAT GLAM FUNDRAISER.

MARY COOK Decorative touch on salt pork barrel Mary Cook’s Memories thanks to Mother foot pedal churning away on the Singer sewing machine long after we had gone to bed, we came down to find the little barrel covered from top to bottom with a mauve and yellow flowered skirt. Since there was no lid on the barrel (the plate had been removed), Mother had simply made the skirt with a round inset at the top, and both Audrey and I thought the whole idea added a lovely touch to the kitchen. “Nonsense,” we could hear Father mutter in his saucer of green tea when he came in from his morning chores in the barn, scanning a look in the corner of the kitchen near the ice box. Mother paid him no heed. She had even moved one of the straight backed kitchen chairs, the only one with arms on it and the one Father favoured, to sit on at the dinner table, beside the little barrel, and commented that it now looked like a little end table. She reminded us not to set anything on top, though, as the small circle of material covering the top wouldn’t hold. So there it sat, adding a bit of colour to that corner of the kitchen. Father added “nuisance” to his complaints about the Dan River skirt, because now he had to take it off to fork out a slab of salt-pork.

Lifestyle - Mother never quite got used to having the salt pork barrel in the kitchen. Once again she lamented that on her very first visit to the farm in Northcote, when she came face to face with the sauerkraut and salt pork barrels, smack in the middle of the kitchen, she was ready to race right back to New York. She said she was greatly relieved when Father assured her the sauerkraut barrel would be moved to the summer kitchen as soon as the brine had settled, where it would freeze solid. But that still left the little salt-pork barrel.   Father said it needed the warmth of the kitchen, and besides, it had sat in the very same spot for three generations, and furthermore, there was no other place to put it. And so every day, once fall had settled in, there sat the lidless barrel, with nothing but a big dinner plate covering the opening, and ever so much smaller than the one that held the sauerkraut. But as far as Mother was concerned, it was a real eyesore. And that’s when Mother got the idea that she would make a skirt for the barrel. She had enough Dan River material left over from two blouses she had made for Audrey and me, and it would do nicely to cover the unsightly salt pork barrel. So one morning, after we had heard the old

Farm Boy Local Food Fair made a tasty impression By David Johnston metroland media

Farm Boy’s Local Food Fair, Oct. 28 at the Train Yards location 665 Industrial Ave., showcased the wide variety of quality products to be found in Farm Boy stores. The store was busy all day as curious customers sampled tasty treats, meats, sauces and more. Farm Boy is committed to supporting local producers. The relationship with local food suppliers is a tasteful blend of everything from soup to nuts, almost literally. “We currently have over 40 local supplier products in our stores - 17 were on hand sampling their products for the food fair and 24 new local vendors met with our Farm Boy buyers to pitch their products,� says Carolyn Trudel, Farm Boy’s Director of Marketing. “Small producers are unique and know that quality is what will make their product stand out. It’s a great relationship that our customers appreciate.� “Our stores are brimming with unique and tasty locally-made prod-

ucts and we’re always on the lookout for more, says Carolyn.� “We carry locally made products in all categories – produce,, grocery, meat, seafood, dairy, deli, cheese, floral and bakery. It’s the kind of event that can make all the difference for a small business trying to get established. Hanna’s Bakery, makers of Perfect Pita, is a small, local company with a big future. Owner Charbel Hanna is proud that his product is popular at Farm Boy and across the region. “Our pita is known as ‘Healthy Choice’ because it has no preservatives, no sugar and no fat,� says Hanna. “We are happy to have our products sold through Farm Boy stores. It has been a tremendous advantage for our business.� Similarly Emily Peachey of Peachey Honey Farm had good things to say about working with Farm Boy. “We love our relationship with Farm Boy. It has really helped our business become established.� Farm Boy customers were all smiles at the Food Fair. Eager to sample the delicious offerings, the store was buzzing with ex-

Gingerbread and apple upside down cake Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Lifestyle - Gingerbread is often served with applesauce. In this twist, applesauce is in the batter itself, providing moistness, and more apples are used as a topping. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Baking time: 35 to 40 minutes. Serves 12. Ingredients * 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour * 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground ginger * 5 ml (1 tsp) baking soda * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each ground cinnamon and salt * 75 ml (1/3 cup) each vegetable oil and molasses * 125 ml (1/2 cup) packed dark brown sugar * 1 egg * 125 ml (1/2 cup) unsweetened applesauce * 25 ml (2 tbsp) finely minced fresh ginger Topping * 50 ml (1/4 cup) butter, melted

* 175 ml (3/4 cup) packed dark brown sugar * 500 ml (2 cups) sliced, peeled apples (about two) Preparation In a medium bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the oil, molasses and brown sugar. Next, beat in the egg until it’s smooth. Stir in the applesauce and minced ginger until it’s smooth, and set aside. For the topping, pour the melted butter in a 1.5-litre (nine-inch) round cake pan, brushing butter up the sides. Spread the brown sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the apples on top. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until it’s just moistened. Pour the mixture over the apples. Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for five minutes. Run a thin spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen, and then invert it onto a serving plate.

Mary Cook: Salt pork barrel Continued from page 69

Often, he just let it lie in a heap on the floor by the little barrel, which annoyed Mother almost as much as when Father slurped his tea out of his saucer. Aunt Bertha on the next farm thought the skirt was a lovely idea and said she was going to do the same thing to their little pork barrel. Everyone thought it was fine except Father. Our minister never seemed to have a reason to pay a visit. But his call always seemed to be at mealtime, which Mother said assured him of at least one good meal that day. And so that Saturday, just before noon dinner, in walked the minister, Bible in hand, and even though it was a cold fall day, with snow flurries dusting through the air, the sweat was pouring off his round, fat face. Mother took his coat, and told him to “please be seated, Reverend.” He headed for the armed chair, plopped down like a sack of grain, wiped his face with the sleeve of his black shirt, and placed his bible on top of the pork barrel.   It was a big Bible, and well worn. It was the

Stuffed Potatoes

one he carried up to the pulpit every Sunday. Well, it sunk into the pork barrel, like a stone in a wash tub, taking most off the skirt with it. He looked at it for what seemed like a full minute, and then reached down into the barrel and pulled it out. It was covered with salt water, and brine crystals had already settled on the cover of the Bible. Mother rushed over, grabbed the Bible and was wiping it up and down on her apron as she headed for the dish pan and a dry tea towel. The minister decided he’d be on his way - he’d be back on another day, he said, never taking his eyes off the pork barrel, now with most of the skirt inside it. It looked like the Bible was finished. But that Sunday, there he was, walking up the aisle to the front of the church with the four members of the choir, and the battered Bible clutched in his hand. He always nodded to those in the pews, but he didn’t give us as much as glance. Emerson swore he could smell salt pork off the minister as he passed us at our usual place in the very front row.
