Outdoor game for Ottawa Senators but it’s ball hockey BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

The Ottawa Senators are vying for an outdoor game. Well, an outdoor game did take place last Sunday, Nov. 6, although it wasn’t on Parliament Hill or at TD Place but rather in the parking lot beside Napoli’s Café at the Stittsville Shopping Centre in Stittsville. See BALL HOCKEY, page 5

Ball hockey game called ‘Napoli’s Fall Classic’ Continued from page 1

And it wasn’t an official NHL outdoor game but rather it was a ball hockey game and while it in-

volved only five Ottawa Senators players, it undoubtedly couldn’t have been a bigger thrill for the players of the Stittsville Crusad-

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Mark Stone of the Ottawa Senators, although normally a forward, plays goalie, complete with goalie pads, as he is surrounded by Stittsville Crusaders Minor Peewee players during action in the ball hockey game between five members of the Ottawa Senators and the Stittsville Crusaders in the parking lot at Napoli’s Cafe in Stittsville on Sunday, Nov. 6.

ers Minor Peewee team who faced off against these Sens in this game, played under sunny skies in ten degree temperatures. It was announced as “Napoli’s Fall Classic.” Indeed, this parking lot ball hockey game involving the Sens and a local minor hockey team is becoming a tradition. It all happens thanks to Bassel and Milad Khalil of Napoli’s Café who each year now offer this ball hockey game with the Sens as one of the items auctioned off in its gala preChristmas party for regular customers which annually raises thousands of dollars for a selected charity. The Stittsville Crusaders Minor Peewees were the beneficiaries of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from last December’s fundraising event. Ottawa Senators playing in this game which lasted almost an hour and a half were Mark Stone, Cody Ceci, Craig Anderson, Chris Wideman and Andrew Hammond. Stone, Ceci and Anderson all played the night before at the Canadian Tire Centre

where the Sens lost 2-1 to the visiting Buffalo Sabres. Wideman and Hammond did not play as they are both out for NHL play with injuries. The Sens team in this parking lot ball hockey game also included five year old Jake Anderson, Craig’s older son, who showed up with his hockey stick, ready to play. He played the whole game, even scoring several goals. He may have a NHL future! Craig also was accompanied by his younger son Levi who also had a hockey stick in tow but whose staying power for the game was less. He spent a lot of time with Bassel and Milad Khalil and then with his dad but the two and a half year old showed enthusiasm when he did play early on in the match. This has been quite a time recently for the Anderson family as Craig’s wife Nicholle was recently diagnosed with cancer. Craig left the team to be at home with Nicholle but she insisted he return to the team. His performances after returning earned him NHL

with the Crusaders players switching every two minutes. The teams exchanged goals on a regular basis but it was the Crusaders who scored the final goal of the game. The Sens and Crusaders lined up for the traditional hand shaking following the game. It was then time for a group photograph, followed by pizza at Napoli’s Café where Sens autographs could be collected.

First Star of the Week honours. Napoli’s Café is familiar to Nicholle as she attended a fundraiser there with Craig in Dec. 2013. Mark Stone donned the pads for the Sens at the beginning of this parking lot ball hockey game. He gave way in nets later on to Chris Wideman who even later turned over goaltending duties to Andrew Hammond. It was a wide open game,

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. For more information, or if you wish to have your name added to the mailing list, please contact: Darlene Conway, P. Eng.

Notice of Completion Chapel Hill Park and Ride – Alternate Site Class Environmental Assessment The City of Ottawa has completed the Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the Chapel Hill Park and Ride – Alternate Site. This Study was carried out in accordance with the requirements for a Schedule ‘B’ project under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011 and 2013) document for Municipal Transit Projects. The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to provide a park and ride facility on the north side of future Brian Coburn Boulevard, between Navan Road and Page Road. The plan includes new intersections on Navan Road and Brian Coburn Boulevard to access the site, a transit access at the future Navan/Brian Coburn roundabout intersection and a parking lot capacity of roughly 600 parking stalls. The alternate site will provide interim transit service to Chapel Hill and the East Urban Community until the Cumberland Transitway is constructed. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an EA Project File has been prepared according to the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, amended 2007, 2011 and 2013) document for Municipal Transit Projects. The Project File documents the study process, including the selected solution, an environmental inventory, consultation and mitigation/impacts of the plan. The Project File will be available for a 30-day public review period between November 14, 2016 and December 13, 2016 at the following locations during their regular business hours: Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change Environmental Approvals Branch 135 St. Clair Avenue West, 1st Floor Toronto ON MAV 1P5

Proposed new building with showroom and service area BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

A new one-storey building and inventory parking area is being proposed for a site along the north side of Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. This automobile dealership would be located between the Fringewood Village North community to the west and the Cedarow Court business park to the east. Poole Creek is located between this proposed new development and the Cedarow Court development. A future pathway connecting Hazeldean Road to the Poole Creek Village residential subdivision to the north that is now under construction is located between this site and the Fringewood Village North community. The proposal involves construction of a new 531 square metre one-storey building with mezzanine which will house a showroom as well as

a sales and service area. There will be a paved inventory parking area as well as a dedicated parking area with 14 parking spaces for the showroom and service centre. There will also be two bicycle spaces provided at the rear of the building. The site has 130 metres of frontage along Hazeldean Road with a lot depth of 74 metres. It is currently occupied by a temporary sales office and gravelled automotive sales lot for the Canadian Auto Mall which also has a presence in the Cedarow Court business park. The existing vehicular access to the site will be relocated from its present location near the site’s eastern property line to a more central location on the site. Landscaping of the site will include a five-metre wide landscape strip along the frontage of the site while there will be ten-metre wide landscaping strips along the western and

northern property lines. The landscape buffer strip along the site’s eastern property line will range from 10 to 20 metres. This will provide a continuous 30 metre wide setback area from the inventory parking area to the high water mark of Poole Creek. Snow storage areas will be located along the rear of the paved parking area on the site. The city of Ottawa’s Planning, Infrastructure and Economic Development Department expects to render a decision on this application by Dec. 19. The matter is not expected to go before city council but rather be determined via delegated authority to the Department. For more information about this proposal or to provide comments, please contact city planner Kimberley Baldwin at 613-580-2424, ext. 23032 or via email at Kimberley.Baldwin@ottawa.ca. Comments should be provided by Tuesday, Nov. 29.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Trust is a two-way street in politics

he Progressive Conservatives in a riding that has yet to see a provincial election are shooting themselves in the foot with a shady nomination

process. The new riding of Carleton will be in play in the 2018 provincial election as the current riding of Nepean-Carleton is split in two due to population growth. It includes much of rural south Ottawa and Stittsville. The folks who were elected to the PC riding association in Carleton have been accused by fellow conservatives of stacking the deck to ensure which candidate ends up on the provincial ballot. There are whispers that the party’s leader, Patrick Brown, is pulling strings to get a preferred candidate selected. When friends of a particular candidate control a riding executive, they can set nomination rules, change the rules, change key dates for paperwork and meetings, and arbitrarily disqualify other candidates.

Welcome to Carleton. It’s a fool’s game. Leadership must trust party members to pick a good candidate. Only then will the grassroots trust the leadership. A cup of bitterness and a pinch of meanness make for a perfect recipe if you want to turn off potential PC voters. Liberals are waiting for the mess to settle, and will then be in good shape to choose a candidate who immediately appears above the fray. If the PC machinations turn off enough voters, and the Liberals name a squeaky clean candidate, the new Carleton riding will be in play. At the riding executive level, the members who are pulling the strings are blinded by ambition and short-sighted goals. They think getting the “right” person on the ballot is the ultimate outcome, when getting an electable person on the ballot should be the focus. Time will tell. The provincial election is scheduled for June 7, 2018.

Self-driving us all to frustrating distraction

nce again the self-driving car is in the news. Various advocates have been touring, various manufacturers have been talking about manufacturing it and, all in all, it appears as if the day is drawing closer. A dream has been presented to us. In the dream, traffic congestion and air pollution have disappeared because people have given up owning gas guzzling SUVs and opted for adorable little electric vehicles they can summon to take them where they want. Parking lots are no longer necessary so cities can have more parks and housing. Automobile accidents are a thing of the past because the smart little electric vehicles know how to avoid them. What a wonderful world.

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town Why do I keep thinking of the Rhinoceros Party and its proposal, back in the 1980s, that Canada switch to driving on the left-hand side of the road and that the change be phased in — first, with trucks and buses. Things could go wrong, in other words. The question, really, is not how smart the driverless cars are, but how smart we are. Because if we are not smart, we could be in for trouble. That always happens when we let our consumer self overwhelm our citizen self.

Think of the Internet. We fall in love with its convenience and capacity to entertain and forget about other aspects. Daily newspapers are dying. Think of the Internet as the driverless newspaper. The music and publishing industries are in decline. Lots of folks are out of work. That probably could have been avoided if we were smarter as the Internet was developing. Will there be smart thinking in advance of the smart car? There better be. If fewer drivers are needed for those trucks and buses and delivery vehicles what, exactly, happens to those people? It’s nice to think of fewer cars on the road, but not if you work beside it, running a gas station or a restaurant. And what happens to the people who formerly worked making

those cars? Can the economy of the selfdriving car create enough jobs to make up for the ones lost? Maybe, but we haven’t been very good at creating jobs for the people who no longer work in, for example, the pulp and paper industry, or the people whose jobs have been automated out of existence. That’s one thing. The other is more in the realm of science fiction, but then, what’s more science fiction than a self-driving car? Since self-driving cars depend on computers and since computers, as we see every day, can be hacked, who is to say that the controls of our adorable little non-polluting vehicles won’t, from time to time, fall into the wrong hands? It could be pranksters, or worse. Do you want Julian Assange driving you to work? If hackers can disable websites, can’t they also disable cars? And think of the chaos that would develop if that happened.

Miracles can still happen. The system could work, the hackers could be thwarted, a new economy could be created and we would all live happily ever after, no longer slaves to the automobile. But there will be one final test: Can thousands of self-driving cars self-drive themselves out of the Canadian Tire Centre parking lot on a hockey night?

Robbery at marijuana dispensary BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

The Magna Terra Health Services marijuana dispensary on Iber Road in Stittsville was robbed at gunpoint last Saturday evening, Nov. 5. The dispensary was just closing and staff was leaving when the trio of robbers charged into the premises. Two of the male robbers wore hoddies concealing their faces while a third robber branded a handgun. The robbers made off with three garbage bags of cannabis products as well as some cash. Staff was not injured physically in the robbery. This Magna Terra location in Stittsville does feature security measures like a buzzer

system for access and a video camera. The dispensary was closed last Sunday and Monday. This was the fourth robbery at Ottawa area marijuana dispensaries this fall. Last week the Ottawa Police Service raided and closed down seven of the 17 marijuana dispensaries in the Ottawa area. Marijuana dispensaries are not yet legal as the federal government has not yet passed the legislation legalizing the sale of marijuana. This has been promised and these marijuana dispensaries have been opened in anticipation that they will be legalized in the federal government’s legislation which is expected next spring. The Magna Terra Health Services marijuana dispensary on Iber Road opened this past August.

Old Richmond Bakery sign generates $350 for Food Bank

right on the building’s front wall. It can’t be seen but it is there nonetheless. The other remnant from the former Richmond Bakery is a large woodentopped bake table which is the only piece of equipment from the former Bakery that remains on the premises. This bake table was used for years at the Bakery but it almost was lost when the premises were renovated. It had been taken out of the building and stored on the site but one day it was gone – someone had taken it. Deb Mallett of Danby’s Roadhouse was upset because she wanted to use this bake table in the kitchen of the new roadhouse. After filing a police report, she placed a notice on Facebook which led to a tip as to where the bake table might be. She bravely went there, demanded the table back and, lo and behold, it was back in 20 minutes. It is now being used in the rear kitchen at Danby’s Roadhouse, the only equipment in use at Danby’s Roadhouse from the former Richmond Bakery. Danby’s Roadhouse also has a tangible connection with the former Hobbs Store on Dwyer Hill Road near Munster. A walk-in freezer from the former Hobbs Store is now in use at Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond.

Deb Mallett (right) of Danby’s Roadhouse in Richmond presents a cheque for $350 to Judy Wagdin (left) of the Richmond Food Bank. The money represents the proceeds from the online auctioning off of the former Richmond Bakery sign.

It was a big sign and it has resulted in a big donation to the Richmond Food Bank. The sign was the former 30 foot wide/3 feet deep sign which stretched across the front of the former Richmond Bakery building in Richmond. After the Bakery went out of business in 2014 and the premises were extensively renovated for Danby’s Roadhouse, the sign was taken down, replaced by a similar sign for Danby’s Roadhouse. But what to do with this big old Richmond Bakery sign? It was eventually decided to auction it off on Facebook with the proceeds to be donated to the Richmond Food Bank. This happened with the winning bid being $350. So Danby’s Roadhouse has now donated this money to the Richmond Food Bank. And even though this Richmond Bakery sign is now gone from the premises, a couple of reminders of the former Richmond Bakery still exist at the site, one unseen and one quite prominent, at least in the kitchen. For one thing, behind the new Danby’s Roadhouse sign is an old Richmond Bakery sign that is painted

Volunteers needed for Parade of Lights BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

HELP! Over 150 volunteers are needed to stage the annual Stittsville Parade of Lights. But so far, the Stittsville Village Association which organizes this annual event has less than ten volunteers signed up to help out. It all happens on Saturday, Nov. 26 which is not too far away now, with lighted floats making their way along Stittsville Main Street to the delight of thousands of onlookers. But this highlight of the pre-Christmas season in Stittsville all depends on the participation of volunteers. Just what will these volunteers be doing? Well, there is a need for barricade monitors who are stationed at the traffic barricades which are erected where side streets intersect with Stittsville Main Street. These barricades are to block traffic from entering Stittsville Main Street just before and during the parade. This is a great way to see the parade as you are standing right there beside the barricade at Stittsville Main Street with a close-up view of the passing lighted floats. Students are reminded that volunteering with the Stittsville Village Association for the Stittsville Parade of Lights very definitely counts towards your accumulation of volunteer service hours. So, you kill two birds with one stone – you have fun being part of the excitement of the parade while also chalking up some volunteer service hours. It’s a win-win situation. This is also a great opportunity for a parent and a high school child to spend some time together, helping out with this community event.

There is some incentive to volunteering early on for this year’s Parade of Lights because early volunteers will by and large get to choose their location for being a barricade monitor. For more information about how you can become a barricade monitor and help out this year’s Stittsville Parade of Lights, please contact Marilyn Jenkins at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com or by phone at 613-836-5075.

One more thing: there is still lots of room for float entries in the parade. If you are thinking about entering a float and would like more information, please contact Marilyn Jenkins at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com or by phone at 613-836-5075. This year’s Christmas Parade of Lights will take place on Saturday, Nov. 26 starting at 6 p.m. The parade will leave from the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer on Stittsville Main Street and will proceed south on Stittsville Main Street to Carleton Cathcart Street where it will disband. Immediately following the parade, the Christmas lights at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street will be turned on in a brief ceremony, marking the official beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville.

100th birthday for Thelma Criggar of Ashton SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Thelma Criggar of Ashton has reached the century mark. She celebrated her 100th birthday last Sunday, Nov. 6 at an event held in her honour at the Christ Church Ashton hall in Ashton. She received citations from Governor General David Johnston and city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. She also received a book from mayor Watson.

Thelma married Herbert Criggar in 1937, moving to the Ashton area where they lived in a cabin on the Robbie Hobbs farm.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa

November 10, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Stittsville Street Re-Naming Results Due to the amalgamation of the City of Ottawa in 2001, the City identified a number of streets in Stittsville that posed a public safety risk due to duplicate and similar sounding street names. As a result, in January of 2016, the street-renaming project was presented to Stittsville to reconcile the problems which these street names may invoke, not only to residents, but to Emergency Services. The affected streets are Bell, Elm, Goulbourn, Meadowland, and Long Meadow. After the first round of consultation, the project deadline was extended to August 12th to provide more opportunity for suggestions from the community. There were many suggestions made for each street name from the community as well as residents on the affected streets. Now, I am happy to announce the results of those consultations and the vote. Please note that only residents who own property on the affected streets were eligible to vote and only for their own street. The results are as follows: Bell St (from Stittsville Main-Norway Spruce) – Receiving 75% (3/4 votes) was Bobcat Way Bell St (from Norway Spruce-West Ridge) – Receiving 38% (17/45 votes) was Snowberry Way Elm St – Receiving 73% (44/60 votes) was Brae Crescent Goulbourn St – Receiving 45% (14/31 votes) was Henry Goulburn Way Meadowland Way – Receiving 20% (2/10 votes) was Turtleback Way Long Meadow Way was also presented for a name change, however, the primary concern with this street was in its repeated civic number procession with similar-sounding Lone Meadow Way. As such, this street was unique in that a solution could be found by changing civic numbers to the 900 series (ex: 23 Long Meadow Way becomes 923 Long Meadow Way). This idea was put forward to residents as an alternative to Bonfire Way (which received 58% or 7/12 of the initial votes). In the end, 94% of voting residents (15/16) agreed to remain with Long Meadow Way with a civic number change to the 900 series. As such, Long Meadow Way will not be undergoing a name change. I would like to thank all residents who took the time to participate in this extensive process and for those of you who contributed street name suggestions to provide options for residents to vote on. Special thanks go to Rebecca Anderson for compiling this information as well to residents who worked within their streets in determining a consensus from residents on their street. This has been a long and arduous process and I appreciate residents’ patience throughout it all. As I have mentioned, I too would rather not have to change any street names at all; however, as this is a community safety project taking place across the city to ensure that our Emergency Services operates at its greatest capacity, I do believe that we have finally reached a final result which will benefit our community for generations to come. Official street renaming will take place in the upcoming weeks and affected residents will receive advance notice to make the necessary preparations. Should residents have any questions in the meantime, I encourage you to contact me and City staff, Rebecca Anderson, at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca and Rebecca.Anderson@ottawa.ca. Shad’s Christmas Card Contest It’s that time of year again! I would like to invite artists up to 12 years old to participate in my Annual Christmas Card contest. Four winning entries will be included in my 2016 online Christmas Greeting. This is an exciting chance for an aspiring young artists’ creativity to be seen by hundreds including the Mayor of Ottawa himself, Jim Watson! Get creative but try to avoid the use of glitter and stickers! And don’t forget your name, age and phone number on the back of your entry. Entries can be dropped off at my Ward office in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (1500 Shea Rd) or mailed to my City Hall address at 110 Laurier Ave W, Ottawa, On K1P 1J1.

The deadline is November 27th so get those colouring pencils and markers warmed up for this wintery event! Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca.

‘Joyful’ meeting for members of Stittsville Toastmasters Club BY MONIKA JAIN Special to the News

It was a ‘joyful’ meeting for members of the Stittsville Toastmasters Club on Wednesday, Nov. 2. That’s because the theme for the meeting was “joys” while the word of the day was “Exuberance.” Carol Ring was toastmaster for the meeting.

SUBMITTED

Table Topics master Gina Cook (right) presents the Table Topics trophy to winner Mathieu Boudreau (left).

Maria Pamberton gave the opening thought for the meeting, speaking about the many joys that are in life like “joy of parenting,” “joy of cooking” and “joy of cleaning.” Marc Carriere proposed the toast to “rejoicing.” Mathieu Boudreau presented the only prepared speech for the meeting. He did project #8 from the Toastmasters manual with the title of his speech being “Immerse yourself into Virtual Reality. He noted how Virtual Reality is becoming a reality in areas such as tourism, education, real estate, movies and medicine. Antonio Misaka, in evaluating Mathieu’s speech, touched on some great “Glow and Grow” points. Gina Cook was the Table Topics master for the meeting, presenting the topic “the various joys of life.” Mathieu Boudreau won the Table Topics trophy for speaking about the “joy of Health” which he said was the most important joy in order to be able to enjoy all the other joys in life. Monika Jain took the role of quizmaster for the meeting while Richard Cook was the grammarian, pointing out interesting words and phrases used by members such as “stitch and synchronize” and “dump and drop.” Maria Pamberton was in charge of reporting on the filler words used by members. This is done in order to help members become more aware of them and begin using pauses in place of these filler words.

Our Rideau-Goulbourn Mid-Term Town Hall Series is coming to a close over the next few weeks. We’ll be hosting a meeting in Richmond at the Agricultural Dining Hall on November 30th. This meeting will be a bit different as there will also be a public meeting on the Shea Road development application at 6:00pm with our town hall to follow. As usual, we will cover a number of city-wide issues that have been making the news over the last 20 months. We’ll also focus on local issues, such as development and infrastructure projects.

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

‘Show homes’ found for two puppies BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Louise Beggs’ two purebred Miniature Schnauzer puppies now have homes. She made a plea for ‘show homes’ for the puppies in early October and an immediate response to the plea resulted in each puppy being placed with a family. Normally such puppies sell as pets for $1,400 each but these two puppies, a brother and a sister, were being made available by breeder Louise Beggs for free to the right family. That’s right, each family got one of these Miniature Schnauzer puppies at no cost. Now each family will work with breeder Louise Beggs of Stittsville to provide her

with access to the dogs to show them for a couple of years and then breed them, after which the dogs become just lovable pets for the family for the rest of their years. Miniature Schnauzers normally live to be about 14 years old. One puppy, a girl, is named “Queen” whose official name is Regency XCL’s Queen Victorius while the other puppy, a boy, is named “King” with an official name of Regency XCL’s King Francis.

Louise will still retain ownership of the puppies in the beginning years of these arrangements but they will live in the family home. The dogs will be taken to Louise when she needs them for grooming and showing. Then, after they have made their mark in the show ring, they are used for breeding. However, when a female is about four years old, she is fully retired and simply becomes a loved family pet. A male retires as a

stud at age six, also becoming just a beloved family pet. It is at this time that full ownership of the dogs will be given to each show home family. These two puppies were bred from Louise’s first champion girl, Regency XCL’s Princess Anne with a prestigious male from Naibara Kennels in Calgary, namely Am Ch Can Gr Ch Naibara’s No Question (Quest). The puppies will be shown by Louise in local dog shows this coming spring.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

‘Show home’ families have been found for Louise Beggs’ two purebread Miniature Schnauzer puppies, a boy and a girl, named ‘Queen’ and ‘King.’

Metroland is proud to offer a local gift card to SUE for all her dedicated work.

CARRIER OF THE MONTH

As a litigation lawyer, I am often retained weeks, months or even years after a client has suffered an injury as a result of another’s negligence. Ideally, if you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you should contact a lawyer promptly to review the circumstances of the incident. I routinely meet people for a no obligation consultation to discuss matters such as liability, limitation periods and evidence that must be preserved. At the scene of the accident, you should take several steps immediately, whether it is a motor-vehicle accident or a slip and fall, a dog bite or injury caused by a defective product: 1. Identify who is responsible (i.e. exchange of information). If possible, take photographs of obvious material damage (in the case of a motor vehicle collision, take photos of the other party’s car as well as your own); 2. Record via photographs or notes how the incident occurred (e.g. slip fall on uneven pavement); and 3. Identify and obtain contact information of any witnesses to the incident – this is crucial, as witnesses can be lost forever if not identified at the scene. As a lawyer representing injured people, I have found that taking these easy steps can be the difference between having a long drawn out fight about legal liability and moving to a meaningful discussion about compensation reasonably quickly.

Art show and sale at GRC BY JOHN CURRY

It’s the entrance way to the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) and its gym, pool and arena facilities. It’s the site of the Ottawa West Arts Association’s bi-monthly art exhibition, with its walls serving as the owaa gallery. And on Saturday, Nov. 5, this space in the foyer of the GRC became the location for the eighth

painter. She enjoys painting because it relaxes her, removing her from any worries which she may have at any particular time. With two small children, she tries to grab an hour or two at a time for her painting, noting that it takes about 100 hours of work to complete one of her oil paintings. While the show featured the work of both painters and photographers, Charles Rogers has a foot in each camp, as he is both a painter and a photographer, although he tends to do more photography these days. One of his paintings featured a panoramic view overlooking the course from the clubhouse of the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club west of Stittsville. One of his photographs on display was a picture of a steam train going over a bridge. Charles took this photograph about 60 years ago. Beverly Lafortune, known to some as the “Owl Lady” because of her graphic shots of an owl in flight, had her photographs on display in this show and sale. There

were three showing Alaska scenes which she took earlier this year while on a trip to Juno, Alaska. Another traveller who was displaying her paintings at the show and sale was Louise Bauer-Barker who has travelled from Newfoundland to Alaska as well as to Australia and the southwestern states of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. She has also travelled by ship all around the coast of South America. So her work featured not only a scene of coastal Newfoundland but also a forest scene in Australia and Spanish-accented scenes from the southwestern States. Other artists who participated in this show and sale included Kat McClure, Trudy Daley, John Edkins, Stephanie Robertson, Michael Goguen, Sheila Turner-Whalen, Vera van Baaren and Salena Richard. The Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) which hosted this art show and sale was founded in 2007 and has a permanent gallery at the GRC where it mounts six bi-monthly exhibitions each year as well as holding this annual art show and sale in the fall.

anniversary art show and sale of the owaa. With their work hung on temporary backdrops set up throughout the GRC foyer, the participating artists were also there, ready to chat with onlookers and to answer any questions which they might have about individual pieces on display or just about art in general. And the whole space was further enhanced by the presence of keyboard entertainer Rick Leben who sent a steady stream of musical sounds through the foyer space. His electronic keyboard allows him to download tunes from the internet and he currently has over 900 songs available to him on the keyboard. But Rick does point out that while the electronic keyboard sets up everything for the song such as being in the proper key, it still is up to the individual musician such as himself to supply the talent to make the music come alive via the keyboard. Rick keeps busy, playing at weddings and other events of all sorts. On this particular Saturday, he and his music were part of this owaa art show and sale. But it was the artists and their work that was the focus of this show and sale. Stittsville artist Patrick Mason was there with his trademark oil on masonite paintings including landscapes but also other unique scenes like his work entitled “Parenting” showing a book and other learning tools on a wooden desk. Particularly local were a couple of his landscape views of an old frame barn in a field on the Flewellyn Road just east of Shea Road, a site not all that far from the GRC itself. This barn recently collapsed but not before Patrick had captured it with his painting. Indeed, he currently has an injured shoulder from unloading a number of pieces of lumber from this barn at his home. He had asked and received permission from owner and farmer Jim Flewellyn to take a little of the lumber from the collapsed barn so that he could make benches from it at his home. But in the unloading of the lumber, he was over-energetic and injured his left shoulder. It is going to be a year before it is fully healed. But fortunately he can continue to paint despite the injury. Binish Rasheed was another artist displaying works at this show and sale. She has been an owaa member for three years, with her work winning three “People’s Choice” awards in owaa shows over that time. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Binish has had no formal art training and admits Artist Sheila Turner-Whalen stands with her painting of red poppies that she continues to learn but feels that she inherited which attracted a lot of attention at the Ottawa West Arts Association some of her art talent from her father who was a hobby show and sale at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Nov. 5.

The award is presented to emerging professionals at any position or institution who have shown promising leadership within the museum community in Ontario. An emerging professional is considered any staff member who is within the first ten years of his or her professional career. “The Awards of Excellence is our opportunity to recognize those institutions and individuals who exemplify their roles in the museum sector, reminding us of the impact museums have on their communities and on Ontario as a province,” said Marie G. Lalonde, the OMA’s executive director.

“This is very well deserved,” said Keith Hobbs, chair of the Goulbourn Museum’s Board of Directors on the award to Jamieson. “The Museum and surrounding community are well served by her enthusiasm and proficiency.” Laura Gibbs, a former colleague and a museum coordinator with the city of Toronto, notes that Jamieson has assumed every leadership challenge and opportunity that has been presented to her with integrity, a willingness to learn, curiosity and tact.

Sobeys stores raise $10,744 for ‘Hopes Rising’ campaign JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

The “Hopes Rising” campaign for mental health at the Queensway Carleton Hospital has received a $10,744 boost thanks to four Sobeys stores in the area including the Sobeys in Stittsville. This fall the Stittsville Sobeys joined with the Sobeys stores on March Road and Terry Fox Drive in Kanata and in Barrhaven for a checkout campaign. Shoppers were asked for a $2 donation to the “Hopes Rising” campaign at the checkout counter over a ten day period. Dennis Hansen of the Stittsville Sobeys, where the campaign ran from Sept. 23 to Oct. 2, credits the close community association with the Queensway Carleton Hospital as one reason for the generosity which prevailed from customers during the campaign. But he also credits the efforts of the cashiers at the store who he says really got behind the campaign right from its beginning, asking customers for support for “our hospital.” This was the first year that the Stittsville Sobeys store had participated as the other three stores had conducted a similar checkout cam-

paign last fall. But Dennis Hansen of Stittsville Sobeys knew that the community would support what is their local hospital and he readily agreed to join the other three Sobeys stores in this year’s checkout campaign. He says that the Stittsville Sobeys will be doing this checkout campaign in support of the Queensway Carleton Hospital again next fall. Nancy Crump, manager of annual giving at the Queensway Carleton Hospital Foundation, expresses the thanks of the Hospital to the residents of Sobeys customers for their generosity in the checkout campaign. Funds raised in this checkout campaign are going to the “Hopes Rising” campaign for mental health at the Queensway Carleton Hospital. This $5 million dollar “Hopes Rising” campaign for mental health will allow the Queensway Carleton Hospital to transform its physical space to enhance the therapeutic environment to allow for the provision of the best care possible in improving the health and lives of those living with mental health challenges. Mental health, incidentally, was one of the first services provided by the Queensway Carleton Hospital, even before it opened its doors in

1976. And today the Queensway Carleton Hospital provides emergency mental health support, inpatient services and outpatient referral services. But more needs to be done which is why the Queensway Carleton Hospital is looking to enhance its mental health services for those in crisis and to strengthen its connections to community health support services. Former Ottawa Senators player Chris Phillips and his wife Erin are serving as Honourary Chairs of this “Hopes Rising” campaign for mental health at the hospital. The Queensway Carleton Hospital is West Ottawa’s only full service community hospital, offering a diversity of medical and surgical programs and services. Over 1,900 health care professionals work at the 264 bed hospital. The Queensway Carleton Hospital serves a population of over 400,000 people and has one of the fastest growing catchment areas in Canada. In the 2015-2016 year, the Queensway Carleton Hospital experienced over 77,000 emergency visits, had over 19,000 day stay surgeries, and served nearly 5,000 surgical inpatients. There were 2,397 births at the Queensway Carleton Hospital in the 2015-2016 year.

Thanks also go to all of the volunteers who helped make this 2016 poppy blitz one of the most successful as a total of $6,976.88 was raised.

Give A Jewel, Feed A School

Help us raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. REALIZING THE NEED Eva von Jagow, a student from Stittsville, was researching Nunavut for a school project when she came across the harsh reality of nutrition in our Far North. She was shocked to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket! Eva quickly learned even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three-litre container of orange juice is typically $9. In the winter months especially, fresh fruit and vegetables are exorbitantly priced and of poor quality. All this means that many Nunavut children start off their school day with poor nutrition. In Canada, a country that is hailed as having one of the highest standards of living in the world, no child should be going to school hungry or malnourished.

Drop-off until November 14, 2016

CRAVING CHANGE Eva decided she wanted to help, and she wanted to start by giving children a healthy start to the day, beginning with breakfast. She contacted the Breakfast Club of Canada and they agreed to direct any money she raised to specific Nunavut schools in need of a funded breakfast program.

The idea for the All That Glam fundraiser itself came to her while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. Like many women, Eva’s mother, Karen, wore the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and used the same five handbags most of the time. That’s when Eva thought, “Women donate their clothes all the time; why not their jewelry?” This realization sparked the idea to create a gently-used jewelry and handbag sale to raise money for Nunavut schools. NOURISHING CORAL HARBOUR SCHOOL’S BREAKFAST PROGRAM The All That Glam Sale has become an annual event. For the 4th year running, the fundraiser will collect donated jewelry and handbags from the community and resell the pieces at a one-day sale to raise money needed to provide nourishment to children in Nunavut. To date, All That Glam has donated over $65,000 to the Sakku School in Coral Harbour (with corporate fund matching) which wouldn’t have been possible without the support and generosity of the local community and our sponsors. A heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you. A special thanks to the Breakfast Club of Canada for directing the money raised to the Coral Harbour School. For more information on the Breakfast Club of Canada and their initiatives, please visit The Breakfast Club of Canada’s website.

Sale!

from 8am-2pm Saturday November 26th

We all have jewelry & handbags we don’t use... consider donating these items. All funds are directed to Nunavut Schools through the Breakfast Club Of Canada.

There now also is a plaque at the gymnasium entrance that identifies the facility as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium” and gives a brief synopsis of Erica’s gold medal win in women’s freestyle wrestling at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the inspiration that she is providing to youth through

this Olympic achievement and through her ongoing efforts as a role model. These signs, photos and plaque were all unveiled in a brief “instant reveal” commemorative naming ceremony at the gymnasium on Tuesday evening, Nov. 1, just hours before Erica and her Olympic teammates were to be honoured on the floor of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill.

City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson (left) and Olympic champion Erica Wiebe (right) share a moment after unveiling a plaque identifying the gymnasium at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium.”

ERICA WIEBE - OLYMPIC CHAMPION

Signs, photos unveiled Continued from page 42

A crowd of about 50 onlookers which included Erica’s family, her former wrestling coach at Sacred Heart High School Silvano Sanna, Goulbourn Recreation Complex staff and members of the public saw Erica along with city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri make the rounds in the gymnasium, pulling strings dangling from white coverings to formally unveil the two signs and two photos identifying the space as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium.” The trio, followed by the crowd, then unveiled the plaque at the entrance door, completing the ceremony. After the ceremony, Erica said that she has worked out in gymnasiums across Canada which have been named after sporting heroes and now to have a gymnasium bearing her name which will serve to inspire youth is a great honour indeed. In her brief remarks at the ceremony itself, Erica expressed the hope that this newly named “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium” can be an inspiration for the next generation of Stittsvillians. Mayor Watson, in his remarks at the ceremony, expressed similar thoughts, saying that there is an up and coming generation of young boys and girls who want to aspire to athletic achievements and who will find inspiration in seeing Erica’s photo high up on the gymnasium wall and in learning about her Olympic accomplishment at Rio. He said that the gymnasium was being named after Erica by unanimous approval by city council because everyone is so proud of her Olympic accomplishment, winning a gold medal for herself, her city and her country. Councillor Qadri, in his opening remarks at the cere-

mony, called Erica an inspiration not only to her hometown community of Stittsville but to her peers and to all residents in the city of Ottawa. He said that after her Olympic victory on Aug. 18, he determined that something in the community of Stittsville should be named in her honour. He quickly thought that this gymnasium at the GRC would be a most appropriate facility for this as many young athletes both today and in the future will be training in this gymnasium named after Erica and will draw inspiration from such a name on the facility. Naming this gymnasium at the GRC as the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium” was first announced at the “welcome home” ceremony for Erica which was held in the gymnasium on Aug. 25, just one week after her Olympic victory in Rio de Janeiro. The idea was officially approved by city council just days later with this formal commemorative naming ceremony being held to correspond to Erica’s availability as she had returned to her hometown from Calgary for Olympic team ceremonies the following day including being honoured in the House of Commons. Fourteen year old Karolina Moo of Stittsville led the singing of “O Canada” at the beginning of this commemorative naming ceremony.

The newly named “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium” at the GRC is right beside Sacred Heart Catholic High School where Erica went to school and began her wrestling career. Erica, now 27, grew up in Stittsville dreaming of becoming a soccer star. At Sacred Heart Catholic High School, Erica tried a number of sports while continuing to play high level soccer outside of school, competing two levels above her age category. In grade nine, she noticed a sign for co-ed wrestling and she tried it out, becoming hooked on the sport. She competed in high school wrestling, going to the provincial championships, and also wrestled with the National Capital Wrestling Club. Following high school, Erica opted in 2007 to attend the University of Calgary, pursuing a degree in kinesiology while also continuing her wrestling with the University of Calgary Dinos. This led to Erica being a three time Canadian Interuniversity Sport wrestling champion and a six time Canadian national champion. She became a member of the Team Canada wrestling team which trains in Calgary. She was the 2014 University World Champion and the 2014 Commonwealth Games Champion. See GOLD MEDAL, page 44

Gold medal in Rio Erica Wiebe, fellow Olympians honoured at House of Commons Continued from page 43

In 2014 she also won gold medals in international competitions in Germany, Sweden and the United States. Erica believes in giving back to her sport community and that is why she has been involved with efforts to inspire young wrestlers and in particular young women wrestlers. She loves sharing her passion for the sport of wrestling with others, presenting messages on the benefits of living a passionate life, setting goals and staying true to one’s own values to students across Canada. At the University of Calgary itself, Erica has been a leader on campus as a community advisor in residence and captain of the varsity wrestling team. She has been vice-chair of the Student Athletic Advisory Council and she has been on the board of directors for Wrestling Canada as the athlete representative. Erica was selected for the Canadian women’s wrestling team last December and then last March she qualified for the Olympics, winning gold in an Olympic qualifying event in Texas. This led up to her performance at the Olympics on Thursday, Aug. 18, winning four straight matches to win the gold medal in the women’s freestyle wrestling 75 kilogram class. This was the culmination of nine years of training in Calgary as she became the first Canadian Olympic wrestling champion since 2008.

Erica Wiebe from Stittsville is an Olympic champion. And on Wednesday, Nov. 2, she joined about 250 of her Olympic and Paralympic teammates as they were honoured by an appearance on the floor of the House of Commons on Parliament Hill. At 3:10 p.m. the House went into a Committee of the Whole session following its regular question period in order to admit these Olympic and also Paralympic athletes, coaches and administrators onto the floor of the House of Commons as House Speaker Geoff Regan noted that Canadians were proud of these athletes who have put in years of training and sacrifice and who have showed determination to become world class athletes. While not individually introduced, all of the names of the athletes involved in this parade onto the House floor were to be posted in the record of the day’s proceedings. In addition to parading onto the floor of the House, the athletes were honoured at a subsequent reception. At 3:12 p.m. the athletes procession into the House began, all wearing their red Canada jackets with some Paralympic athletes in their wheelchairs. They proceeded in single file up one side of the

House until they reached Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who shook hands with each one and also had his picture taken with almost all of them, sometimes as a selfie and sometimes with a teammate pointing the camera. The athletes then moved to the other side of the House to meet Opposition Leader Rona Ambrose and some of her front benchers including Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre as they made their way out of the chamber. All the time until the last athlete left the chamber at 3:37 p.m., there was continuous applause by the House full of MP’s as well as from those in the packed public gallery. At one point, an impromptu singing of “O Canada” broke out among the onlookers. As it turned out, the last athlete to leave the floor of the House was none other than Stittsville’s Erica Wiebe who was wearing her Olympic gold medal around her neck as did other Olympic and Paralympic medal winners. Erica won her gold medal at the Rio Olympics in the 75 kg category in women’s freestyle wrestling. On her way out after meeting Prime Minister Trudeau, Erica chatted with and had her picture taken with Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre whose riding includes Stittsville, Erica’s hometown.

After this parade of athletes onto the floor of the House of Commons, the House moved out of its Committee of the Whole status and with the Speaker back in the chair resumed its regular business with the tabling of documents by some MP’s.

ERICA WIEBE - OLYMPIC CHAMPION

At gym naming ceremony BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

A former schoolmate, her high school wrestling coach, one of Canada’s top wrestling referees and a young singer with a powerful voice were among those who joined Olympic champion Erica Wiebe at the official commemorative naming ceremony for the “Erica Wiebe Gymnasium” at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex GRC) in Stittsville on Nov. 2. All four have their own connection or relationship with the Olympic gold medal wrestler. A former schoolmate, Ryan Marshall was at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville when Erica was there. A high school wrestler, Ryan recalls wrestling against Erica in practices. Erica used to wrestle against the boys as girls could not be competitive with her, even at that time. And in truth, even the high school boys could not beat her – just ask Ryan! Ryan now works at the GRC as he completes his studies to become a lawyer. Although he is in his final year at Osgoode Hall in Toronto,

he returns home on the weekends so he can continue working at the GRC. Silvano Sanna, another with Sacred Heart ties to Erica, was at the ceremony. Silvano was Erica’s high school wrestling coach and continues to stay in contact with her. Indeed, he was with Erica’s parents Paula Preston and Charles Wiebe at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro where they witnessed her gold medal performance. Lee McKay of Stittsville is one of the most respected referees in the world of amateur wrestling, having refereed at all the major international championships as well as at three Olympic Games (London, Beijing and Athens) and at numerous world senior wrestling championships. He is off soon to the very wrestling venue in Rio de Janeiro where Erica won her gold medal at the Olympics to head up the team of officials at a major wrestling event called the “Brazil Cup” involving top competitors from both North and South America. Lee even pulled out a “BeWiebe” t-shirt when he had a photo taken with Erica following the ceremony.

Erica sold these t-shirts in her fundraising efforts leading up to the 2016 Olympics. Karolina Moo, 14, of Stittsville had the honour of leading in the singing of the national anthem “O Canada” at the beginning of the commemorative naming ceremony. She has been singing since she was eight years old. She has been involved in the Ottawa Idol competi-

tion and this past summer she sang the anthem at an Ottawa Champions baseball game. Also at the ceremony was Alyssa Wiebe, Erica’s older sister. A graduate of Sacred Heart High School as well, she attended the University of Waterloo for chemical engineering and now works in Guelph. Engineering is something of a Wiebe family trait as both parents, Paula

Preston and Charles Wiebe, are also engineers. Erica, though, besides being an Olympic champion wrestler, has earned two degrees at the University of Calgary where she went following her graduation from Sacred Heart in 2007. Erica has a degree in kinesiology and also one in sociology which she received last June.

Cecil has his few minutes of fame

MARY COOK Memories

Tall and rail thin, Cecil unfolded himself from his seat. He said nothing. Miss Crosby ordered him to the low stool that sat in the corner at the front of the room. This is where anyone was sent who misbehaved, hadn’t done their homework, or generally tried Miss Crosby’s patience. Cecil folded himself onto the stool, and when he had settled down, his knees were under his chin, and his hands were resting on the floor. He looked exactly like the big chimpanzee we saw when the circus came to the fairgrounds one time in Renfrew. Well, it wasn’t long until everyone in the Northcote School was in hysterics. Miss Crosby folded the Bible, flopped down on her chair behind her desk, and put her head down on her folded arms. I thought she was crying, because her shoulders were shaking. The Briscoe twins, who dressed alike, finished each other’s sentences and did everything together, put up their hands with one finger in the air, which meant a short trip to the outhouse. “Please Miss,” Beatrice said to get Miss Crosby’s attention. She raised her head from her folded arms, and she wasn’t crying, she was overcome with fits of laughter. It wasn’t the first time Cecil had cracked his toes at the Northcote School, but it

Mother thought that Miss Crosby, our teacher at the Northcote school, should be made a saint when she passed. But that couldn’t happen, my sister Audrey said, because she wasn’t a Catholic. That morning, as always, she was ready to read a verse from the Bible, have us sing God Save the King, and say a prayer, which she wrote herself. She stood erect at her desk, wearing the same printed dress she wore every day, with a starched white collar and cuffs, which she changed every few days. She favoured the Beatitudes, and had only been reading a couple minutes, paused to take a breath, and a loud cracking could be heard all over the school. Cecil had done it again! He had this talent of cracking his toes when he was wearing his gum-rubbers, and when he wasn’t wearing stockings, which was usually the case. The noise echoed in his gum-rubbers like a slap with an open hand on a 2-by-4. Miss Crosby rolled her eyes skyward, but not a sound came out of her mouth. The whole room was silent. “Cecil,” she said. And she sounded like she had just run all the way from the Barr Line. “Cecil, I heard that. In fact, they probably heard it at Briscoes General Store. Stand up and apologize to the class.”

was the first time Miss Crosby had sent him to the stool. Never one to miss an opportunity to give the school a chance to learn something, she ordered Cecil to take off his gum rubbers and show everyone how he was able to crack his toes. Well, there he sat, folded on the stool, with his bare feet stretched out before him, and try as he might, he couldn’t muster up one crack! We all sat in utter silence waiting. Nothing happened. The morning was wearing on, and Miss Crosby wisely decided to bring things back to order. At recess outside, everyone gathered around Cecil like he was the mayor of Renfrew. He loved being on centre stage and went on to explain this amazing feat. The reason he couldn’t perform for Miss Crosby, he said, was because he could only crack his toes inside his gum rubbers. And there he sat on the school steps, cracking his toes inside his gum rubbers, enjoying his few minutes of fame at the Northcote School, before Miss Crosby appeared at the door with the big brass bell.

We made our vows together until death do we part, but the day God took you from me, my whole world fell apart. Sometimes I think I am dreaming, I can’t believe it’s true, that I can go on Living, when I no longer have you! The memory of happy years when we were together, the joy’s, the tears, the love and the fears will stay with me forever. When I am sad and lonely and everything goes wrong, I seem to hear you whisper “cheer up & carry on!” Each time I see your picture you seem to smile and say, “don’t cry I am only sleeping, we’ll meet again someday!” Lovingly Remembered Audrey

Tickets now available for Christmas concert of West Ottawa Ladies Chorus JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

Tickets are now available for the fifth annual Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Tickets at $15 each are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street, at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata and at the Kanata Cleaners at 1029 Teron Road in Kanata. Tickets will also be available at the door but the price will be $20 each, not the $15 of tickets purchased in advance. The concert, entitled “A Christmas Kalesdoscope,” will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata and again on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 2:30 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad just west of Huntmar Drive. Joining the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus at this year’s concert will be

“Gracenote,” a trio of singers who are accompanied by Andy Duffy on keyboard. Music director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is Robert Dueck of Stittsville while Peter Brown of Lanark is the group’s accompanist. Another musician involved with this concert is Helen Mogford of Perth who will be displaying her mastery of a number of instruments during the evening including flute, tenor recorder and tenor Viol da Gamba.

She will be accompanying a small ensemble of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus when it performs the songs “Cooroo Cooroo” and “Song of the Dove.” She will then switch to the tenor recorder for the song “All on a Cold Winter’s Night.” But Helen is not finished playing just these two instruments. She will also be playing a tenor Viol da Gamba for the songs “Under Winter Moon” and “Lullay, Alleluia.”

But what is a tenor Viol da Gamba, you might ask? It is a bowed string musical instrument similar to the cello in that it is played with the instrument between the legs. The viol first appeared in Europe in the late 15th century, becoming one of the most popular Renaissance and Baroque instruments. But as the popularity of the violin grew in the 17th century, the viol with its softer sound that made it harder to hear in concert halls could not compete and

fell behind in popularity. The 20th century saw a resurgence of interest in the viol, especially when trying to authentically perform early music. Most viols have six strings whereas violins have four strings. The bow for the viol is slightly convex. England in particular has a rich history of viol composers and performers. The viol was also played widely in France and in Germany. The viol has a subdued, mellow tone.

Lots of talent at coffee house at South Carleton BY JOHN CURRY

john.curry@metroland.com

There was lots of talent on display at the Nov. 3 coffee house at South Carleton High School in Richmond. Indeed, some performers displayed their multi-talented skills such as Gabriel Maahs who sang, played the guitar and played the keyboard in his several appearances in the show. Then there was Liam Maguire, another triple threat who not only sang but accompanied another on the guitar and even played a solo drum in a trio performance with Brady Collier on guitar and Cassie Smith on vocals. And what about Jaidan Stockill – what a performer she is! She not only was the vocal lead for two bands but also she wrapped up the coffee house with a solo performance, singing and accompanying herself on the guitar. A performance by grade nine students Caitlyn Holmes and Katie Moll who sang

a duet “Whatever” perhaps stole the show as their vocal harmonizing was musically mezmerizing. And even South Carleton teacher James McIntyre, who not only organizes these semi-annual coffee houses but also usually performs in them, praised these two grade nine students for their “gutsy” performance in getting on stage for this coffee house. But, of course, they did not just go on stage, They owned it with their blended harmony and performance. Hopefully they will be back for future coffee houses. This coffee house featured two dozen individual performances. It all started in what Mr. McIntyre called a slightly nontraditional fashion as an instrumental acoustic guitar ensemble launched the show. But then tradition returned as MC Maddie Refausse then took over, announcing the performers as they took to the stage. And just who were these performers in

this coffee house at South Carleton High School? There was a rock band “Off Topic” with Jaidan Stockill as the vocalist, along with two guitarists and a drummer, together pounding out a loud, thundering sound with a high energy feel. This band performance was followed by Meghan Glennie singing “Physical” while accompanying herself on the keyboard. And then she accompanied Liam Maguire both on the keyboard and vocally. Liam Maguire stayed on stage to sign and play the guitar after which Gabriel Maahs sang “One for the Road” while accompanying himself on the guitar. Maddie Refausse then turned in her MC role to become a performer herself, singing her original tune “On My Own” while accompanying herself on the guitar. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND She then followed this with the song “Go Home,” switching to the keyboard as her Jaidan Stockill sings and accompanies herself on the guitar in the coffee house at South Carleton High accompanying instrument. See SCHS, page 56 School in Richmond on Nov. 3.

SCHS coffee house Continued from page 55

Other performers at the coffee house include the Brady Bunch (two guitar/ vocalists and a single drum); singer Cassie Smith with Brady Collier on guitar and Liam Maguire on the single drum; Carissa Fortin singing, accompanied by Gabriel Maahs on guitar; and the Teachers Band of six SCHS teachers – two guitarists, one on the keyboard, one on the drums and two vocalists. And this only takes you to the intermission break when coffee and other refreshments were available with the donations given going to help with expenses related to an upcoming student trip to Costa Rica. The second part of the coffee house program began with a performance of What I Like About You” by the Beagles band with Jaidan Stockill once again as the lead singer. This band had more of a rock ‘n roll sound than the “Off Topic” rock band which performed earlier in the cof-

fee house, also with Jaidan Stockill as the lead singer. Other performers in this second part of the coffee house include the band “Stink 182” with its sunglass-wearing trio of musicians; and keyboardist/ singer Kasey Charland with his two original song offerings, appropriately named #52 and #53. He called #52 by that name, he said, simply because it was the 52nd song that he had written. Rounding out the show were singer Skylar Bolton accompanied by Liam Maguire on the guitar, whose performance generated an outbreak of rhythmic clasping by the audience; Jenn Stranaghan with a solo guitar tune; the trio of Cassie Smith (vocalist), Gabriel Maahs (keyboard) and Jenn Stranaghan (guitarist); and Jaidan Stockill, accompanying herself on guitar while singing “Sick of Losing Soulmates.” These coffee houses at South Carleton High School are held twice a year, once in the fall and then again in the spring.

Protect your information from thieves.

More than 13,700 Canadians were victims of identity theft in 2015 alone. Most victims discovered their information had been compromised when their banks contacted them about suspicious activity. Thieves are more sophisticated than ever, often using technology to help them steal information. Other times, they prey on the trusting nature of people to procure personal information.

4 WAYS THIEVES CAN STEAL YOUR IDENTITY

56 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 10, 2016

Stealing your mail. If you don’t have a locking mailbox, thieves can swipe your mail directly from the box, especially if it’s located next to the road. Prevent this by opening a postal box. If your mailbox is attached to your house, check it daily

Digging through your trash. Thieves have been known to search through trash to find personal documents. Shred your documents before you dispose of or recycle them.

Tampering with ATM and credit card machines. If you use an ATM or other card reader, you may become a victim of identity theft and not realize it. Thieves have been using counterfeit card readers in tandem with hidden cameras to steal the information on ATM cards for

several years. Once you slide your card into the reader and punch in your PIN, the thief has enough information to make another card. Reduce your risk by avoiding non-bank ATMs and monitoring your Account.

Searching through public sources. Although social media has made it easier to stay in touch with family and friends, it can also be used by thieves to swipe personal information. Adjust the privacy settings on your social media sites so your information is only available to friends and family.

COMMON SCAMS

Most people were solicited by thieves over email or the internet, a significant number were contacted by telephone. Don’t be fooled by these common scams. • Services. False, deceptive or misleading offers for telecommunications, internet, finance, medical or energy services made up 21% of scams. • Prizes, They comprised 11% of the scams reported. Thieves contact you claiming you’ve won a prize, but must pay a fee or cover delivery and processing to claim it. If you have to pay money upfront for your prize, it’s not a real prize. • Extortion. Obtaining money or property from someone through coercion, such as saying you have unpaid debt and you’ll be arrested if you don’t pay immediately, comprised 9% of scams. • Merchandise. Purchasing items online or through classified ads and not receiving them, or receiving items of inferior quality, made up 8% of scams.

Canadians between the ages of 60-69 are the most targeted group by scammers. Tips to Avoid Being the Victim of a Scam 1. Beware of claims that require immediate action. 2. Beware of offers that require you to wire money or send a pre-paid card. 3. Trust your gut—if you feel something is wrong or an offer sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam.

Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. My dad a veteran himself started putting one Remembrance Day poppy each year in the frame of a picture he liked. A picture of four little girls singing carols. It’s the top of a large 1921 Met Life calendar. I had to open and look, curiosity and discovery are a good thing. They had nice calendars then. He bought it framed. My mom painted it gold, nice job, nice picture. I think my dad liked it because he was from a family of five boys and he had three boys, no sisters, no daughters. Most poppies in the frame have the black centre, a few have the green none have both the black

Everyone is a little different and we feel different some days, still they may be contributing, even to you in some way. Remembrance Day is a day to remember people, not the conflicts between them. The beauty of tolerance, acceptance, helping and loving will hopefully change Remembrance from conflicts and sadness to loving, peace and joy. It’s nice we set aside one day to catch our attention and focus on what we should be feeling every day. I have a beautiful picture, from a beautiful person I see and focus on every day.

and green, which was phased out in 1969. He started his collection later. Every year since his passing I add one more poppy to that picture. It becomes more beautiful every year. One more way to remember a beautiful person. Remembrance Day is a day to remember much. Those that didn’t know you but did their best to help, those you love and loved and loved you and those you don’t know but should love and help. If one of us was on this earth alone we would disappear. Without helping and loving we would be gone. Every person you see; too fast on the road, too slow in the line may be contributing some way through helping and loving.

Principal of Regina Street Public School, Robert James said the public is welcome to attend. “Having it in the park, makes it a little more special – students are in the gym everyday and having the public attend only heightens the feeling of importance for students.” Students from the school helped create the 500 poppies depicted at the cenotaph, which opened in 2013.

LEST WE FORGET

Remembrance dinner speaker calls Canada ‘a country of defenders’ BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Guest speaker Commander George Forward of the Royal Canadian Navy presented his view of Canada’s involvement in wars going back to the War of 1812 at the

Remembrance dinner at the Richmond Legion on Saturday, Nov. 5. A native of Newfoundland, he did it with a Newfie flair and passion in a way that resulted in a standing ovation and which saw Legion member Peter MacArthur call the address humourous, en-

tertaining and insightful when he thanked the guest speaker. Commander Forward concluded his remarks by saying that Remembrance Week is all about remembering that there are and were Canadians who left the comfort of their homes to fight and die in war

LEST WE

FORGET

On behalf of Bridlewood Trails Retirement Communities

so that Canadians can live in freedom and comfort. He noted that 120,000 Canadians died in these military endeavours. But Commander Forward made it clear that Canadian history is quite unique is that Canada has never started a war. “We are a country of defenders,” he said, reacting when threatened and then finishing the task, even against the Americans 200 years ago in the War of 1812. He said that Canadians have something worth defending, calling Canada a country of “tolerance and peace” where government does not tell people what to wear or what to believe. “This freedom is unparalleled anywhere in the world,” he said, making it not only the envy of everyone but also a target for fanatics. Commander Forward said that every time it has gone to war, Canada has been successful but also reminded everyone that war is never easy and that people die when nations go to war. He said that remembering these people is what Remembrance Week is all about. Commander Forward gave his version of Canada’s military history, starting with the War of 1812 when Canadians joined with British forces and First Nations warriors to fight off an American invasion. He then told how Canadians fought alongside British troops all over the world in the days of the British Empire including in the Boer War in South Africa, noting that the Canadians always fought with courage and what he termed

“rare ferocity.” Moving on to World War One which involved 650,000 Canadians, he said that Canada became a nation on Vimy Ridge in 1917 where Canadians displayed a “savage fighting spirit.” Commander Forward then talked about World War Two and its massive losses, after which the world decided that there should never be another war and the United Nations was established. But this did not stop war as there was the Korean War in which 500 Canadians died and four decades of the so-called Cold War, followed by the Persian Gulf War and wars in the Middle East and Africa. Then there was the 9-11 terrorist attack in 2001, followed by a decade of Canadian military involvement in Afghanistan. During his remarks, Commander Forward told about the Second World War sinking of the HMS Jervis Bay which was a ship converted to be an armed merchant cruiser which was sunk by a German warship near Iceland on Nov. 5, 1940 as it was accompanying a convoy of 37 merchant ships with war supplies from Halifax to England. Although the ship was hopelessly outgunned, it charged the German warship so that the convoy could scatter. The Jervis Bay was sunk with only 68 of its crew of 254 surviving including three of the eight Newfoundlanders on board. However only five ships of the convey were sunk, with the rest escaping.

Ten uniformed members of the 706 Ottawa Snowy Owl Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets helped out at the Remembrance dinner at the Richmond Legion Hall on Saturday evening, Nov. 5. The Cadets, who also got to sit down and enjoy the meal with those

in attendance, helped collect dishes after the main course, delivered the desserts and tea/coffee to those at the dinner and then helped clean up the hall following the event. And their presence was noted by guest speaker Commander George Forward of the Royal Canadian Navy in his post-meal address at the event. He remarked that when he gets

concerned about the future of the country, his respect for its youth is restored every time that he sees a Cadet. “They are the future of the country,” he said. “We are in good hands.” Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a national youth program for those aged 12 to 18 years old with a focus on citizenship, leadership, physical fitness, general aviation and stimulat-

ing interest in the Canadian Forces. There are regular Air Cadet activities during the school year in the local Squadrons like the 706 Ottawa Snowy Owl Squadron while Air Cadets also have the opportunity to attend summer training courses. The 706 Ottawa Snowy Owl

Squadron, which meets at the Connaught Ranges in Kanata, is one of over 450 Air Cadet Squadrons in Canada. These squadrons have a total enrolment of about 23,000 Cadets. There are also Royal Canadian Sea Cadets and Royal Canadian Army Cadets.

Speaker is also author BY JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

Commander George Forward, who was the guest speaker at the Richmond Legion’s Remembrance dinner on Nov. 5, is also an author. He has written four novels chronicling the lives of a family in an outport in Newfoundland. One has been published as “Pomeroy’s Quay.” The book has sold 5,300 copies

so far which makes it a Canadian best seller. Commander Forward is giving every cent from the sale of the book to the Camp Hill Veterans Hospital in Halifax which is a palliative care facility for veterans. So far he has donated $46,000 to the hospital from book sales. Commander Forward had copies of the book with him at the Remembrance dinner and he autographed any which were purchased.

To remember on Remembrance Day Continued from page 68

Commander Forward said that this is but one example of the sacrifice made in wartime which brings people together on Remembrance Day to remember. Commander Forward also recommended the book “A Bloody War” by author the late Hal Lawrence which tells about the boarding of a sinking German U-boat. Commander Forward used a video slide show with appropriate photos to augment his verbal presentation. Commander Forward himself has seen considerable military action. He served for eight years on five ships. He was deployed twice to Afghanistan and served in United

Nations actions in Kosovo, the Congo and the Sudan. He was wounded when serving in the Congo and was held hostage and beaten for three days in the Sudan. He also told about his relationship with a Rwandan soldier whom he served with in sub-Saharan Africa. Their relationship developed into a friendship but in Oct. 2011 they were in a convoy carrying food to a refugee camp when they were ambushed and Commander Forward watched his friend die. He died in the service of peace, Commander Forward said, adding that the theme for this year’s Remembrance Day is how you remember. He said that he will never forget his Rwandan friend.

The cardinal is a songbird that is best known for its vibrant red colour. A flock of over 50 of them came together in Richmond on Friday evening, Nov. 4, not at the former Richmond lagoons which is a bird watching mecca nor in a backyard in the village but rather in the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. All of them came alive on canvases at a paint party fundraiser which the Richmond Agricultural Society held at the Dining Hall. Funds from this event are going to help pay for the four display cabinets which were constructed for the new antiques and collectibles class in the Homecraft Division of the Richmond Fair. A paint party is just that – an opportunity for participants to create a painting in the course of an evening, whether they have ever painted before or not. Indeed, Amber Murison, who with her sister and fellow artist Caleigh Murison instructed at this paint party, told the over 50 ladies in attendance that even if a person has never painted before, everyone leaves her class with an awesome painting. Everyone gets instruction on and paints the same scene which in this case was a red cardinal sitting on a branch with a blue background. Each participant is provided with a blank white canvas on an easel, three

brushes, four colours of paint and a red cup of water in which to rinse the brushes. In addition, two completed paintings of this scene featuring a red cardinal were on display in the Dining Hall for continual reference by the participants if needed. And these participating “painters” got advice every step of the way, with Amber Murison delivering the advice over a public address system for this paint party as her sister Caleigh circulated throughout the Dining Hall, giving advice and delivering additional paint if needed. Amber and Caleigh sometimes reverse these roles at other paint parties which they conduct. The first step for the “painters” at this paint party was to start at the top of the blank canvas and using up and down strokes, apply light blue paint to the top third of the canvass. This was followed by applying a slightly darker blue in the middle third of the canvas and then a darker blue at the bottom third of the canvas. Then it was on to doing the web of branches in the scene and finally adding the red cardinal to the painting. Caleigh Murison noted that in these paint parties, everyone’s painting turns out a little different even though they are painting the same scene using the same paints and same brushes. Amber and Caleigh Murison conduct paint parties for residential, private and corporate groups and also offer solo lessons. They can be contacted at 2paintsisters@ gmail.com or via phone at 613-761-2438 for Amber and 613-858-5430 for Caleigh.
