Christmas Parade of Lights Special to the News
News - The Christmas Parade of Lights on Nov. 29 is not only a fun festive event for onlookers and participants but also is a major source of both food items and money for the Stittsville Food Bank. This is all thanks to the efforts of the Stittsville District Lions Club whose members walk along the parade route during the parade, collecting both food items and money for the Stittsville Food Bank. In past years, the Lions Club has collected a trailer full of food items for the Food Bank and this year the hope is the same. Those planning to attend and view the Christmas Parade of Lights on Saturday, Nov. 29
are reminded to bring along some non-perishable food items for donation to the Stittsville Food Bank or consider making a monetary donation to help out the Food Bank. But collecting food items and money for the Stittsville Food Bank is not all that the Lions Club members do in regard to the Christmas Parade of Lights. Lions Club members spend days as well as time and money to ensure that the Christmas lights at Village Square Park are all set to be switched on and light up the night sky. These lights, of course, are traditionally switched on for the first time each year immediately following the Parade of Lights when many assemble
at Village Square Park just to experience the “countdown” and the ensuing colourful array of Christmas lights that glow at Village Square Park. These lights then come on every night throughout the Christmas season in Stittsville. Last Thursday members of the Lions Club endured chilly temperatures to ensure that the strings of lights weaving through the trees at Village Square Park are all working properly in anticipation of the “turning on” ceremony following the Christmas Parade of Lights. Spent bulbs were replaced an all is now ready for the big “turn on” following the parade. See PARADE OF LIGHTS, page 3

Lions Club puts up lights, collects food in parade Continued from page 1
The Lions Club not only provides all this labour to ensure that the lights are in place and working but also funds all of the expenses related to these lights. In addition, the Stittsville Lions erect a sign at Village Square Park identifying all of the Stittsville and area businesses and individuals which donate $100 or more to the Club’s annual Christmas fundraising campaign. Funds raised by this campaign are used to support organizations and individuals in the community. In addition, the Lions Club puts up and maintains the Christmas lights which illuminate the trees in the area of the “Welcome to Stittsville� sign at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road. And if this were not enough, the Stittsville District Lions Club does also enter a float in the Parade of Lights, participating along with the other Stittsville organizations and businesses whose efforts help make this Christmas Parade of Lights one of the highlights of the Christmas season in Stittsville. This year’s Christmas Parade of Lights will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 29 with the parade travelling south on Stittsville Main Street from its start at the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot opposite Brown’s Your

Christmas Parade of Lights on Saturday, Nov. 29 Continued from page 3
Organizers are hoping that this year’s Christmas Parade of Lights in Stittsville will be the biggest and best yet and that is really saying something, because the parade has been spec-
tacular in past years. This year there are many returning entries but there are also a number of new entrants – so, it should be an exciting evening. More entries are still welcome. For more information about entering, please contact David and Marilyn Jenkins at jenkinsdm1@rog-
ers.com . There is no entrance fee which makes parade participation a great bargain but in the spirit of the season, donations of cash or non-perishable food items for the Stittsville Food Bank through the Stittsville Lions Club are suggested. Once again this year, Santa Claus will be part of the parade, sitting high up in the bucket of the Ottawa Fire Service’s ladder truck. At the ceremony to turn on the Christmas lights at Vil-

lage Square Park following the parade, there will be cookies provided by Farm Boy and also hot chocolate served thanks to Tim Hortons. In addition, there will be a Christmas carol singalong session led by the Canadian Military Wives Choir and by the Ottawa Grace Baptist Church choir. Volunteers are still needed to help look after the barricades that block access to Stittsville Main Strreet from side streets during the parade. This is a great way to help out the community while also giving yourself a great viewing location – right there in front of the barricades, right beside Stittsville Main Street. If you are interested in helping out in this way by looking after a barricade location, please contact Tanya Hein of the Stittsville Village Association at tanya.hein@ travnet.org. Motorists should note that Stittsville Main Street will be closed to traffic from about 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 29, so you should be aware of this and make alternative travel plans. West Ridge Drive and the Shea Road/Iber Road routes are both viable alternatives to bypass this section of Stittsville Main Street being used by the parade. The Stittsville Village Association organizes this annual Christmas Parade of Lights with help from Stittsville’s volunteer firefighters and the Stittsville District Lions Club, along with all of the organizations, businesses and volunteers who participate in one way or another to make this a highlight event of the Christmas season in Stittsville.

Story of Richmond Fair john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Richmond Fair not only has a long history, dating back over 170 years but also has a recent history of industry-leading, innovative programming and practices that is allowing the annual Fair to succeed in today’s society. Marlene Greene of Richmond, who has recently written a book outlining the history of the Richmond Fair, gave the historical background of the Fair at last Saturday’s November meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society at the Richmond Legion Hall in Richmond. Her historical perspective was enhanced by comments by her husband Dale Greene, the current general manager and secretary of the Fair, who told a lot about the Fair as it operates today. Mr. Greene noted that the fairgrounds and Fair facilities like the Dining Hall are rented out extensively now compared to when he became general manager of the Fair in 1996. The Dining Hall is rented virtually every weekend as well as for minor hockey meetings through the week. This year there were eight horse shows held at the fairgrounds as well as three dog shows, all providing rental income. The Richmond Agricultural Society, which organizes the annual Fair, rents space in its buildings on the fairgrounds for winter storage of things like cars, boats, tent trailers and motor homes. The Richmond Agricultural Society not only has its 30-member Board of Directors but also has a junior director program which gives youth interested in agriculture an opportunity to be involved with the Fair. A number of these junior directors move on to become full-time directors as they age. At the Richmond Fair, local churches take turns annually providing the meals in the Dining Hall. Mr. Greene said that this arrangement, which started back in 1929, is unique among fall fairs across the province. The Richmond Fair boasts probably the largest light horse show in Eastern Ontario, Mr. Greene said, with the show helped by the fact that the Fair provides stalls for light horse show entries and also that the show is a recognized “point show” for light horse competitors. Mr. Greene said that the Richmond Fair was the first fair in the area to have a miniature horse show although he admitted that the novelty associated with miniature horses seems to have dropped recently, affecting the size of the show a little. He said that the Richmond Fair has a strong heavy horse show, especially its hitch classes. However, he did lament that for two years now, weather has prevented the six horse hitch class from being held. And this six horse hitch is always one of the highlights of the Sunday afternoon program at the Fair. Mr. Greene said that the Richmond Fair has the biggest sheep show in Eastern Ontario, attracting up to 150 animals each year. This is in contrast to other fairs, many of which have no sheep show. He attributed the Richmond Fair’s success in this to the work of Bob Bell of North
Gower who worked hard to attract sheep exhibitors to the Fair. Mr. Greene said that since most of the 234 fairs in Ontario are held in late August and September, there is a lot of competition for judges for the livestock shows. He said that it is difficult for the Richmond Fair to attract judges from western and central Ontario because they are either judging at their local fairs or are showing at them. The Richmond Fair has the largest quilt show in Eastern Ontario and perhaps beyond, Mr. Greene said, giving credit to Molly Hartin for building up the show in recent years. Mr. Greene said that the Richmond Fair has very limited space on its 20 acre fairgrounds site. He said that the Fair would love to have another 20 acres, saying that the Fair “could do wonders” with such an expanded fairgrounds. But he acknowledged that this is not possible and the Fair has to exist as it is. The Richmond Fair does work with other fairs in the area to be more efficient and economical. For example, 30 communication radios are rented by a collection of 11 fairs, with the radios then being used for a week by a fair before the radios are passed onto the next fair for its use. This arrangement helps cut down on the expenses involved in renting such radios. The Richmond Fair also provides bartending volunteers for the South Mountain and Spencerville Fairs while these fairs provide bartending volunteers for the Richmond Fair. This not only provides an experienced volunteer pool for this task but also ensures that those looking after the bar at the Richmond Fair are not neighbours with the clients and hence can more easily enforce the liquor regulations. Marlene Green, who spent two years researching and compiling her book entitled “Richmond Fair – A Country Experience,” said that the early history of the Richmond Fair goes back to 1836 when the Fair rotated around various communities in the area such as Bytown, Ashton, Huntley and Kemptville before finally settling in Bells Corners. The Fair moved to Richmond in 1895, becoming a three day event in 1907. In 1934, a grandstand was built on the fairgrounds. This grandstand burned down in 1973. The Richmond Fair parade began in 1968 while the Fair’s popular demolition derby started in 1990. It was in 1973 that the then-Carleton County Agricultural Society changed its name to the Richmond Agricultural Society. Mr. Greene noted that the cattle shows are attracting fewer entries in recent years because there are fewer smaller dairy farms and the larger dairy farms do not normally show cattle. In the past, the Richmond Fair has had classes for Ayrshire, Jersey and Holstein battle. This past year, there were only Holstein classes and Mr. Greene said that he can see these Holstein classes disappearing in the future as well. He noted, though, that the beef cattle entries are holding their own, with classes covering five breeds. Mr. Greene is a director for the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions, a national or-
ganization for the fair industry across Canada. This brings him into contact with others involved with fairs and exhibitions, even the Calgary Stampede. He said that the Calgary Stampede and the Richmond Fair are dealing with the same issues, only on different scales. Marlene Greene’s book “Richmond Fair – A Country Experience” sells for $15. The book outlines the history of the Fair, giving important dates all the way from the formation of the County of Carleton Agricultural Society in 1832 right through to the present day. The 32-page book also features several pages showing old photographs of Fair activities as well as examples of JOHN CURRY/METROLAND old Richmond Fair prize list booklets Marlene Greene holds a copy of her recently and Fair passes. published book entitled “Richmond Fair – a Country See LONG HISTORY, page 6

Aggie O’Brien Award for best float in parade at 2014 Richmond Fair goes to Historical Society Special to the News
News - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society has received the Aggie O’Brien Award for having the best entry in this year’s Richmond Fair parade. The presentation of the trophy as well as a keeper award and a red ribbon took place at last Saturday’s monthly meeting of the Historical Society which happened to have the history of the Richmond Fair as its JOHN CURRY/METROLAND theme.

Aggie from Dale Greene, left, who is the general manager and secretary of the Richmond Agricultural Society.
O’Brien, a resident of the Richmond Lodge who was a familiar sight around the community, was a great fan of the Richmond Fair. Her enthusiasm for the Fair was well known and following her death, it was decided that an award for best of show in the parade would be named in her honour. At the Historical Society meeting last Saturday, Marlene Greene, who organizes the annual Richmond Fair parade, and Dale Greene, who is the Richmond Agricultural Society’s general manager and secretary, presented the Aggie O’Brien Award to Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell.

What students can teach us
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a positive sign for our future when young people take the lead. Students in the police foundations program at Algonquin College did just that last weekend, raising funds for the family of a police officer who died by suicide. While the majority of the money raised during the Students For Heroes event has been directed to the family of Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban, the future police officers also made sure some of the proceeds went to prevention of tragedies in the years to come. The Heroes Are Human organization helps first responders prepare for on-the-job stresses. Our police officers, paramedics and firefighters may seem larger than life, capable of dealing with the worst life can throw at them, but while the physical risks of those careers may be clear to everyone, the mental stresses may be buried behind a little bravado. For most of us, we deal with difficult situations at work and for the most part can go home for
the evening or the weekend and blow it off. It is much more difficult to blow off the image of a horrific car crash, a tense standoff with a volatile individual or the feeling that must accompany not being able to save someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. There are many hazards that accompany the jobs of emergency workers and law enforcement agents. No one questions that someone suffering with a broken arm or smoke inhalation needs professional assistance, yet there must come a day when first responders also know that they can seek help for their mental health just as easily. With awareness, every first responder and member of the public should come to expect everyone who needs help will seek help. There is no stigma attached to seeking help for that broken arm. And over time, over generations, the stigma of seeking help with invisible injuries will evaporate. All it takes is a change in attitude. The helpful push in the right direction from college students is a welcome way to keep the change happening.

And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all committed to listening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What will you never do?â&#x20AC;? the new councillors are asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will never stop listening,â&#x20AC;? they reply. That seems to be a common thread. Indeed, it has been a common thread for about as long as such interviews have been conducted. You can imagine senators in ancient Rome promising to keep listening to the publicus and vowing that their doors would always be open, even on the Ides of March. Not to make light of it, the determination to keep listening to constituents is a noble thing. And smart,

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town as well. More than one councillor has been voted out of office recently because of the perception they had been ignoring the wishes of the people. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible that at least some of those who make the promise to keep listening donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize it is a more difficult practice than it seems. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the newly elected official, once in office, discovers there are many voices to be heard, and some of them threaten to drown out the constituents.

The councillor will hear the mayor for example, and might want to go along with him on a particular issue, just because being on the right side of the mayor might help down the road. The councillor will certainly hear the voices of developers and other special interests, who are skilled at communicating and often persuasive, even though their ability to exert influence through campaign contributions is now constrained. The councillor will hear his or her colleagues, who will sometimes trade votes: You support me on this one and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll support you on that one. Or sometimes the councillors will simply want to end one of those interminable meetings and it takes a brave rookie to prolong it by withholding consensus.

Most importantly, the councillor will hear from city staff. In almost all respects this is a good thing. Staff has the time and the resources to develop well thought-out positions on complicated issues. They know what the precedents and the legalities are and can present their recommendations authoritatively, often changing the minds of councillors who once held a different point of view. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here where the promise to keep listening becomes difficult to fulfil. Even where the voices of the community are fairly unanimous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not a common occurrence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the councillor may be hearing other, expert, voices, saying: No, that may sound like a good idea but here are 37 reasons why it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, plus geological data and a bar graph. In a way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that so many councillors serve more than one term because it takes several years to learn to sort out the competEDITORIAL: 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
ing truths. A skilled councillor learns when to listen to the constituents instead of the experts and when to tell the people, reluctantly, that the experts are right. Listening is never a bad idea, just harder than it sounds.

Christmas Angel Tree at Brown’s YIG John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Christmas Angel Tree at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer (YIG) in Stittsville went up last Friday. This Angel Tree is a key part of the Stittsville Food Bank’s annual “Holiday Hampers Drive” which has the goal of helping 120 Stittsville families with having a holiday meal. Shoppers can choose a decoration from
the tree and then give the decoration to the cashier when checking out. The cashier will charge the shopper for the cost associated with the item listed on the decoration. Shoppers have quite a range to choose from in the items listed on the tree decorations, all the way right up to $25 for a turkey. Items range from hot dogs to toothpaste to a case of Coke and more. Raising support for the Stittsville Food Bank’s Holiday Hampers program through a Christmas Angel Tree hung with decora-
tions representing different food donations for the hampers was the idea of Todd Brown of Brown’s YIG in 2004, one year after the store opened. This year’s Christmas Angel Tree is the tenth annual to be at Brown’s YIG. The Stittsville Food Bank provides assistance to those in need in the communities of Stittsville and Ashton and the surrounding rural areas. The Stittsville Food Bank, which was founded in 1992, is run entirely by volunteers.

Stairwell Carollers present Christmas musical offerings that reflect the true spirit of Christmas. The Stiarwell Carollers were founded in 1977 by the group’s director, Pierre Massie, a Music graduate from the University of Ottawa. The group got its name, Stairwell Carollers, from singing in the stairwells at the University of Ottawa. But despite the name, that has not been its only performance venue over the years. Indeed, the Stairwell Carollers have presented hundreds of concerns in many venues in the Ottawa area over the years. The Stairwell Carollers have re-
corded six CD’s over the years. The profits from these CD’s have gone to support many local charities and organizations such as the Ottawa Mission, Harvest House Ministries and the Ottawa Chapter of the Autism Society of Ontario. Tickets for this upcoming concert by the Stairwell Carollers in Stittsville are $15 each and can be purchased through the office at St. Thomas Anglican Church at 613-836-5741 or from John Clarke at 613-831-7704. St. Thomas Anglican Church is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville.

Over the last four years, several community groups across RideauGoulbourn have successfully applied for funds through the Rural Community Building Grant program. This program has helped the Manotick Village & Community Association expand the interlock in front of the Cenotaph and is currently assisting the redeployment of the Boat Launch in Manotick. In North Gower, the work that was completed in the parkette at the corner of Roger Stevens Drive and Fourth Line Road was carried out by the North Gower Community Gardens Association with funding assistance from this program. The NGCGA has done and continues to do great work in the village thanks to donations from the community and the help of this grant program. Community groups, such as the two mentioned above, have the ability to improve our community with their dedicated volunteer hours and passion for their community. The Rural Community Building Grant program just gives them the funds to do so. I fully expect this program to continue over the next four years. If you belong to a local community organization and want to submit an application, please let me know. This is your program to help make your community better. Goulbourn Museum’s Old Fashioned Christmas On Sunday, November 30th from 10:00am to 3:00pm, the Goulbourn Museum will be hosting an Old-Fashioned Christmas & Outdoor Artisan Market.

Snow Go Programs Nothing like a little fresh snow on the ground this week to remind us that the City of Ottawa has two programs aimed at providing assistance to seniors and people with disabilities when it comes to snow clearing. This program is divided into two parts to match your individual needs to the appropriate service. The Snow Go Program provides a matching service for seniors and people with disabilities looking to hire an individual or contractor to clear snow from private driveways and walkways. Residents who participate in this program are responsible for paying the individual or contractor removing the snow. The Snow Go Assist Program provides financial assistance to eligible lowincome seniors (60+) or persons with disabilities looking to hire an individual or contractor to clear snow from private driveways and walkways. Approved participants may be reimbursed for 50 % of the cost of snow clearing per event, up to a seasonal maximum of $250. Rural applicants, who have excessively high cost of snow removal, as defined by staff, are eligible up to 50% of the cost of snow clearing for their private driveways and walkways per event, up to a maximum of $450 per term. For more information about the Snow Go and the Snow Go Assist programs, please visit ottawa.ca/snowgo or call 3-1-1. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott. Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491. Thank you!

In addition, every summer many Cadets attend all-expenses paid camps where they learn about survival, music, leadership, aviation and gliding. A few even earn a pilot’s license. Air Cadets like the 872 Kanata Kiwanis Air Cadet Squadron is civilian run and fosters leadership, physical fitness, citizenship and teamwork, working with the assistance of Canadian Forces personnel. 872 Squadron meets at A. Y. Jackson Secondary School on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Any youth interested in joining can simply drop in to a Wednesday meeting or can check out more information on the website http://872squadron-rcac.ca/ or can phone 613721-3819.
news Special to the News
News – Twenty-five year old Tracy Tubman Dodd is one of over 300 people waiting to be matched through Citizen Advocacy, an agency that initiates and supports friendships for people with disabilities. Tracy has a number of friends from high school with whom she keeps in touch but many of them live in the city of Ottawa. This means that she is unable to meet these friends more than a few times a year due to the distance involved. It is felt that Tracy would benefit immensely from “having someone to go out and do things with.” Tracy, who has a learning disability, enjoys lots of different activities including going to movies, dances and festivals. She loves nature and likes to go biking, fishing and camping. She would love to have a friend
with whom she could venture out and do these things with. Ideally, Tracy’s volunteer advocate would be from the Richmond area, be around the same age, be easy going, kind and patient and be someone who would enjoy discovering or attending new events with Tracy. It would be an asset to have access to a vehicle and to share Tracy’s love of the outdoors. However, the key thing would be the desire to make a difference in someone’s life. Citizen Advocacy’s Everyday Champions Program matches volunteers over the age of 18 years with a youth, adult or senior with a disability who is looking for friendship or perhaps some practical assistance. It could be as simple as going shopping together, playing cards, watching a hockey game or just sharing a cup of coffee – all things that friends would do normally. For a person with a disability like
Tracy, being matched with a volunteer advocate results in increased self-esteem, higher participation in community life and a reduction in isolation. It is a matter of being accepted for who they are.
If you are interested in being matched with Tracy or someone else on the long waiting list or just want more information about this Everyday Champions Program, please contact Maria Redpath, the community engagement coordinator for Citizen
Advocacy, at mredpath@citizenadvocacy.org or at 613-761-9522, ext. 222. More information can also be found at the website www.citizenadvocacy.org/get-involved/become-avolunteer-advocate/ .

On October 27th I was given the great honour of serving as your Mayor for 4 more years. Today, I am writing to say thank you. The support I have received from Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents over THE PAST YEAR HAS BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF EXTRAORDINARY !S a candidate for Mayor this year, I canvassed in all 23 wards, participated in more than a half-dozen debates, worked hard to put forward a platform that would move our city forward while living within our means, and all while continuing on with my usual Mayoral duties. What made campaigning so rewarding for me was the chance to speak with Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents 1-on-1 at their doors day after day. My job as Mayor puts me in touch with tens of thousands of residents each year through different events and programs but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave me much time to visit residents at their doorstep to hear their ideas and concerns firsthand. Doing so during the campaign reminded me again how compassionate and diverse our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents are and the support I received at the door was what kept me working hard every day. The campaign, in combination with my job as Mayor, made for some very long days for me and for my campaign team. Despite the positive response we received from the outset, we took nothing for granted and made sure that come election night we could look back and honestly say that we gave it everything we had. As the results came in on election night I felt truly honoured to have received the largest percentage of the votes cast and the highest number of total votes in Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amalgamated history. This is a mandate for progress in our city and as I set out to lead this new term of Council I promise not to forget this support. I have been hard at work since the morning after the election finishing this first term while planning the coming four years. These years will see us open the first phase of our LRT system, clean up the Ottawa River, make the key investments in our cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future while being fiscally responsible in the present, and celebrate Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 150th birthday in 2017. I look forward to working collaboratively with my council colleagues to push our great city to new heights. I am forever grateful to be your Mayor and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. Contact: jim.watson@ottawa.ca www.jimwatsonottawa.ca

Special to the News
News - A fundraising dinner and dance is being held this Saturday, Nov. 22 to help Richmond resident Mark Pittuck who recently suffered numerous injuries in a work accident. The accident involved the cables on his tow truck as a cable broke, hitting him in the face. This resulted in a crushed jaw, the loss of teeth and head injuries. In addition, he also suffered a stroke. All this has left Mark with a long recovery ahead of him involving lots of physio and rehabilitation, medical visits, medications and more. Being a self-employed tow truck driver, Mark has no benefits or income subsidy to help him and his family survive this period financially. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why the fundraiser is being held, with all funds raised going into an account to help pay medical expenses, rehabilitation and anything else needed so that Mark can get back on his feet again. The fundraising dinner/dance this Saturday, Nov. 22 will be held at the Twin Elm Rugby Park just outside Richmond. The dinner will feature lasagna, salad, buns and dessert, starting at 5 p.m. and costing $15 per person. From 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., there will be a dance at a cost of only $7 per person. The music for the dance will be provided by Doug and Pam Champagne, Stephane Coulombe, Rockt Bigford and Stephanie Fairbairn. All of these performers are donating their time for the event. Tickets for this fundraising dinner/dance are on sale now and are available from Wendy Pittuck at 613444-0250, Greg Allen at 613-6173113, Wendy Ferguson-Vaughn at 613-838-4053 or Tanya Bruce at 613325-7973 or by stopping by JD Costoms at 3412 McBean Street or Capital Services at 2051 Huntley Road.

Meeting on Dec. 3rd about schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future Special to the News
News - Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to happen at Munster Elementary School? The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future will be one step closer when a public consultation meeting about the possible introduction of an Early French Immersion program at the school is viable as a way to increase the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current low enrolment. This public consultation meeting about the viability of introducing an Early French Immersion program at the school will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at the school on Bleeks Road in Munster. Parents and interested community members are all invited to attend this meeting and provide input about the proposal and the future of the school. Munster Elementary School currently offers a regular English program to students residing in the western portion of the former township of Goulbourn. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrolment has decreased significantly in recent years and currently stands at 58 students. At this upcoming public consultation meeting, the Ottawa Carleton District School Board will be seeking community input regarding increasing the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current low enrolment
through the introduction of a new Early French Immersion program at the school. The input will help determine whether such an action is viable in increasing enrolment at the school. Following this public consultation meeting, the input received will be reviewed by Ottawa Carleton District School Board staff and a recommendation from staff will go to the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee of the Whole in early 2015. The report will provide trustees with information regarding the viability of introducing a new Early French Immersion program at the school and will give a recommended course of action about the future of Munster Elementary School students as of Sept. 2015. A final decision on the matter should be rendered by the trustees in early 2015. A public meeting earlier this year resulted in a study being undertaken regarding the future of Munster Elementary School. The study involved not only Board personnel but also a group of representatives from involved schools and communities. The study now requires public input so that a decision can be made at some point. More information can be found at http:// www.ocdsb.ca/sch/as/Pages/efi-at-Munster. aspx.

St. Paul’s United Church goes back to 1827 john.curry@metroland.com
ley Laffin, the chancel was completed in June, 1970 as a memorial to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Laffin. The church was then carpeted and new pews were installed, creating a centre aisle. About two years later, more pews were donated and the remaining ones were donated in 1976. The first event in the newly completed church was the induction of Rev. Roy C. Huntly in July, 1970. On May 6, 1973, a mortgage burning ceremony took place with Rev. W.H. LeGrow, the former minister, and Rev. Roy C. Huntley, the minister, conducting the associated service. Those taking part in the actual mortgage burning were Robert Redwood, Rev. W.H. LeGrow, J.E. Gamble, Rev. Roy C. Huntley, Leonard Brown and Stanley Laffin. St. Paul’s United Church held a gala 150th birthday celebration in October, 1977, holding a gala anniversary dinner and variety show at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall. Former ministers Rev. W.H. LeGrow and Rev. Roy C. Huntly were both in attendance at the anniversary dinner, along with the current minister Rev. Roger B. Rice. There were three of the 65 ministers who had provided spiritual leadership to the church since its founding in 1827. Highlight of the event was the massed singing of “Happy Birthday, St. Paul’s” to the church by the 300 persons who were in attendance. With lights dimmed in the hall, everyone stood and sang the “Happy Birthday” song after which those involved in the associated variety show paraded around the darkened hall carrying small lighted candles. There was a giant birthday cake at the front of the hall. This anniversary dinner and variety show
were the culmination of a year of special 150th anniversary celebrations looked after by a special 150th anniversary year committee headed by Gilmour Brown. Other members of the anniversary committee were Donna Foster, Judy Arndt, Dorothy Moore, Dorothy Munro, Jim Hunter, Elaine Kuhn and Lorna McCurdy. The variety show for the 150th anniversary was organized by Gary Thompson with television personality Peter Emmerson acting as master of ceremonies. Those in the variety show included a rock group called Troy Band which included Rick Todd, Maurice Lavoie and Tim McCurdy, step dancers Marlene and Susan Sadler, the St. Paul’s United Church choir, step dancer Don McCurdy, the Richmond Rockettes baton group and Gary Thompson. The Richmond and Stittsville United Church remained as a joint charge of the United Church until 1990 when the two churches ended their formal association, with each becoming an independent charge. They had officially become the Richmond and Stittsville charge in 1962 after being together as part of the Richmond circuit since virtually the very beginning in 1827. In 1997, a new permanent canopy and new entranceway to the church were officially dedicated. In 2005, an elevator has been installed to facilitate movement between the basement hall, the entrance area and the worship area of the church. St. Paul’s United Church has been involved in numerous outreach activities over the years, ranging from refugee sponsorship to support for victims of aids in Africa and South America to World Vision Canada to the Richmond day hospice project. It has also been the home of the Richmond Food Bank since it was created in 1985.

News - The history of St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond goes back to 1827 when the Richmond Circuit of the Methodist Church was formed. This circuit included Beckwith, Goulbourn, Huntley, Nepean, Marlborough, North Gower and Hull, with Rev. George Poole as the first traveling minister. Hull was with this circuit for only a year before it broke away. In 1829, John Hueston took over as minister, traveling through the countryside on horseback and, more often, on foot. He preached the Word of God throughout the area, gradually building a base for the establishment of churches. From 1830 to 1855, the Richmond circuit continued to grow, with membership increasing to nearly 500. In 1855, Huntley withdrew from the circuit, followed by North Gower in 1859. This reduced the membership down to about half of the previous numbers. Early Methodist in Richmond held services in individual homes but in 1846, a small chapel was built on McBean Street south of the Jock River. The building of this early chapel was aided greatly by a generous donation of 12 pounds, 10 shillings from Edward Malloch of Bytown. In 1866, the church became a Wesleyan Methodist congregation. In the same year, the congregation held a successful tea meeting for the purpose of raising funds to repair and ornament the church. About 200 persons attended. Among the speakers at the event were reeve J. Hinton, J.A. Bryson and H. McElroy. By 1877, the initial chapel, built in 1846, was in a dilapidated condition. Land for a new church was purchased from A. McLaughlin at the site of where the Goodwood Masonic Temple is located today. On October 21, 1877, which is 130 years to the day before this coming Sunday, the new church was dedicated. The total cost including bell was $3,000. It was a frame structure, 36 feet by 50 feet, veneered in red brick. The tower was 50 feet high, surmounted by an octagon and spire rising 47 feet. The ten Gothic windows featured figured enameled glass while the church’s furnishings were considered substantial and somewhat elegant. This new church was considered at the time to be one of the most beautiful ecclesiastical structures in the area. It was through the tireless efforts of Henry McElroy and his wife in their soliciting donations and payments for the new church that there was only $250 left to pay off when the church opened. The collection on dedicated Sunday brought in a further $70 while a tea on the following day generated $110. In 1891, Henry McElroy and his wife sold what was to become the church’s parsonage to the Richmond circuit for one dollar. The Richmond circuit at that time consisted of churches at Richmond, Stittsville, Mansfield and Fallowfield. Trustees of the Richmond circuit at that time were George Argue, William Argue, Samuel Mann, John Nesbitt, William Henderson, John Harvey Caldwell, Henry McElroy, Samuel Nesbitt and David Arbuckle.
Tragedy struck in 1900 when the Richmond church was destroyed by fire. It was then that the site of the current St. Paul’s United Church was purchased from Mr. and Mrs. R. McElroy and Mr. and Mrs. W.J. McElroy for the sum of $350. On July 26, 1901, the cornerstone of the present church was laid by William Higginson of Munster. Rev. J.E. Lidstone was the pastor at the time. The trowel used by Mr. Higginson and presented to him was donated to the church in the 1970’s by his great niece, Mrs. Verner Cassidy. Rev. T. Tripp was the pastor when the new church was dedicated on December 22, 1901 by Rev. Dr. Rose of the Cominion Methodist Church in Ottawa. Known as the Richmond Methodist Church, the inside of the church featured two aisles with the side pews slightly curved. The next big event affecting the Richmond Methodist Church was Church Union in 1925. The Richmond circuit at this time consisted of Richmond, Stittsville, Fallowfield and Mansfield with Rev. Alex F. Folkes as the pastor. It was at this time that the Richmond Methodist Church, with a membership of 103, became St. Paul’s United Church, the newly created church body created by Church Union and involving the union of Methodist and some Presbyterian congregations. Members of the first Session for St. Paul’s United Church following Church Union were Robert E. Brown, M.G. Hislop, W.J. Foster, J.M. Ferrier and George Brown, Sr. Members of the first Board of Stewards were J.P. Burrows, Frank Arbuckle, T.H. Brown, D.A. Brownlee, W.P. Bigford and E.S. McLaren. In April, 1928, Fallowfield separated from the Richmond circuit and was given $900 as its share of the manse. In 1929, the Mansfield Church, located on what is now the Mansfield Road in rural Goulbourn, closed. Two-thirds of its financial assets, amounting to $195.76, were handed over to the Richmond circuit. In 1946, the Women’s Association of St. Paul’s United Church renovated the basement by making a church parlour with a small kitchen. Until 1965, this was used for Sunday School classes as well as for concerts, suppers, bazaars, teas and meetings. In 1955, a Hammond organ was purchased to replace the church’s original pump organ. This in turn was replaced with a Baldwin organ in 1975. As the church continued to grow, reaching 200 members in 1961, the need for an addition became apparent. After much planning, a sod turning ceremony took place on May 30, 1965. Services resumed in the church in September, 1965, in the enlarged church. Cost of the expansion was $45,000, almost half of which was covered by pledges. The enlargement project consisted of new front and rear entrances, a church hall, a kitchen, a furnace room, washrooms, a choir room and an unfinished chancel. The dedication took place on November 24, 1965 with Rev. M.J.D. Carson, chairman of Presbytery, and Rev. W.H. LeGrow, the church’s minister, conducting the service.

Great Christmas gift - ‘Voices from Goulbourn’s Past’ Special to the News
News - Christmas is coming and so are those decisions about what to get for that special friend or neighbour – something unique and different that they will really appreciate. If the friend or neighbour likes history or know about days gone by, purchasing a copy of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past (Volume 3)” might just fit the bill to a tee. This is the third volume of a series of books that features interviews with longtime Goulbourn township residents, done by Linda Preston and Cheryl McCoy and compiled by Linda into books featuring not only the interviews but also lots of photos related to them. This latest volume three of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past” contains interviews and associated photos dealing with seven present or former Goulbourn residents – Sterling Graham, Earl Moore, Mel Fee, Catharina Wytenburg, Gilmour Brown, Douglas Trimble and Eric Kirkham. Indeed, the book is like having an extended chat with each of these people interviewed. You learn not only about them but what life was like as they were growing up and as they proceeded through life. It’s like having a glimpse of the past through the personal recollections and stories of these seven people. This latest book in this “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past” series follows upon the robust sales success of the first two volumes which similarly featured a host of interviews with longtime Goulbourn residents, most of whom have now passed away. But their stories continue through the pages of these books and so too does the history of Goulbourn as told through their words and stories. Copies of both Volume 1 and Volume 2 are still available as well, so you might want to give all three books or you might opt for just

Funeral for respected community leader John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Stittsville has said farewell to one of its longtime and most respected community leaders. A funeral service for Howard Maguire, a 60 year Stittsville resident who founded the Stittsville News community newspaper in 1957 and who later went on be the first full time fire chief for the Stittsville/Richmond/Goulbourn area in 1972, a position he held until his retirement in 1990, was held last Friday. In both of these roles, Mr. Maguire was a community leader whose efforts laid the foundation for two of the community’s most significant institutions, the Stittsville News which today is the oldest continuously published community newspaper in the city of Ottawa, and the community’s firefighting service which is now part of the Ottawa Fire Services, enjoying community respect for its professional approach and its community involvement, both of which were encouraged under chief Maguire’s tenure. Given Mr. Maguire’s 33 year record as a firefighter in the Stittsville community, it was appropriate that the six honourary pallbearers at his funeral service at the Stittsville United John Brummell/Metroland Church on Fernbank Road were all uniformed The casket bearing the body of the late Howard Maguire is carried by six uniformed firefighters including former chief Terry Gerfirefighters and led by David Rea of Tubman Funeral Homes as fire and police personnel, vais and Richmond District Chief Bill Gifford. stationed left and right, salute as the casket is carried into Stittsville United Church for On the sunny, brisk day, they accompanied the casket from the hearse up the church’s front Mr. Maguire’s funeral service last Friday.
walkway and stairs and into the church. At the funeral service, which was conducted by Stittsville United Church minister Rev. Grant Dillenbeck, those in attendance heard a love-filled eulogy from Jeffrey Maguire, Howard’s oldest child, who told about his father’s 33 years as a firefighter and his years publishing the Stittsville News with his brother Lloyd from the print shop which they operated in Stittsville. These roles meant that Howard came to know virtually everyone in the community, especially in those years when Stittsville was a much smaller community than it is today. But Jeffrey made it clear that while Howard was a community leader in these roles, his first priority always rested with his wife Molly and their family of four – sons Jeffrey and Randy and daughters Linda and Susan. He told that after the family moved to the former Thompson farm on the Fernbank Road in 1966, Howard would enjoy walking around the acerage with Molly and the children, enjoying the farm’s natural environment. He himself farmed in his spare time, raising purebred Charolais cattle. Jeffrey told about Howard’s love of baseball which showed itself not only as a coach of Stittsville teams which bore the name “Ink Spots,” but also in later years as a fan of the Toronto Blue Jays.

Oil is an important component of everything from vitamin capsules and antiseptics to heart valves and artificial limbs. And because so many of the things we rely on every day depend on oil, we want to ensure that it’s transported in the safest way possible – through the Energy East Pipeline. The more you know about oil, the more the pipeline makes sense.

Funeral for newspaper founder, longtime fire chief Howard Maguire Jeffrey also told about Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family motor trips to southern Ontario, a memory which recalled the prevalence of mints, the outbreak of car sickness and their interminable length. He also told how, following his retirement and relocation to a new house on Flewellyn Road at the rear of the farm, Howard and Molly were able to enjoy some travelling togeth-
er, something quite enjoyed by this child of the Depression who did not enjoy many luxuries growing up. Rev. Dillenbeck, in his remarks at the funeral service, echoed Jeffreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views about Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love of family and community leadership, adding that Howard was also a man of faith, being a member of Stittsville United Church during his 60 years in Stittsville. Indeed, three of Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite hymns were sung during the funeral service which concluded
with a recorded bagpipe version of the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danny Boy,â&#x20AC;? one of Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favourite songs. The funeral service also saw Susan, Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s younger daughter, read a poignant poem that had been found in Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possessions. A reception in the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basement hall followed the funeral service, with a montage of family photos and Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old fire helmet gracing a small table at the entrance to the hall.
Among those at the funeral service and reception was former Goulbourn fire chief Joe Beckett who succeeded Howard in the fire chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position when Howard retired in 1990. Howard Maguire, who was 84 years old at the time of his death on Sunday, Nov. 9, is survived by his wife of 64 years, Molly (nee Watson) and his children Jeffrey (Kathleen), Randy (Mary Lynne), Linda Parisien (Allan) and Susan (Steve Kroll). He is also survived by five grandchildren
and three great grandchildren as well as by three brothers, Lloyd, Milford and Phillip. He was predeceased by his parents Howard and Pearl Maguire (nee Coumbs), his sisters Lillian Henry, Florence Coumbs and Joyce McCabe and his brother Earl. Interment was at Highland Park Cemetery. Those wishing to make memorial donations are asked to consider the Heart and Stroke Foundation or the Ottawa Mission. R0013007659/1120

“I believe communities should have a voice.” I’m Jon and, as the Energy East Pipeline project’s community relations lead for Ontario, I’ve had the chance to travel across the province several times over and meet community members along the route. In that time, I’ve gotten to know them, listened to their concerns, and experienced their excitement firsthand. At the more than 40 open houses I’ve attended, I’ve heard how they look forward to the new jobs, tax revenues and economic opportunities that the pipeline will provide. We’re working together to build something we’re all proud of and that depends on everyone having a voice. The more you know, the more the pipeline makes sense.

Here comes ‘All That Glam’ to help out in Nunavut Special to the News
News - “All That Glam,” second edition, is coming! This second annual jewelry fundraiser to support breakfast programs at schools in Nunavut is coming up 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 grade 12 student 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, Eva 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 veg-
etables 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 contact-
ed 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. The idea for “All That Glam” came to Eva while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry 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 Eva thought – 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 Eva von Jagow at allthatglamsale@gmail. com or check out Facebook at ALL THAT GLAM FUNDRAISER.
Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question. A weekly guide in legal matters
If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
Should I incorporate my Business? I am the sole proprietor of a profitable construction business that I want to expand. I’m nervous about the risk associated with the business and its expansion. Should I incorporate? We would strongly recommend incorporation. Incorporation provides you with limited liability to protect your personal assets from creditors, and tax advantages that will help you grow your business and your wealth. Limited Liability. A corporation is a legal entity distinct from its shareholders. The obligations, debts and liabilities of the business are those of the corporation and not of its shareholders. The protection from creditors is a significant advantage, particularly for businesses that are inherently risky. As the sole proprietor you are currently liable for every debt, liability, obligation and claim against your business. In your construction business, an inadvertent error or mistake by a sub-contractor, or simply the failure of the project caused by others, could result in huge liabilities for which you are personally exposed to creditors, risking loss of your house, savings and other assets. Incorporation of your business creates a significant barrier of protection. (Note: there are statutory and other limited exceptions to the protection provided by a corporation)
Christmas bazaar, bake sale Special to the News
News - The Stittsville Villa Revera Seniors Community on Stittsville Main Street is holding its annual Christmas bazaar and bake sale this Saturday, Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a selection of Christmas gifts and fresh homemade baked goods as well as treats and tea. You could win a raffle prize. Everyone welcome. The Stittsville Villa Revera Seniors Community is located on Stittsville Main Street across from Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville.
OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY SAT., NOV. 15 2-4PM
Income Taxes. Active business income earned by a corporation is taxed at a much lower tax rate, approximately 15.5% in Ontario on income up to the small business limit of $500,000. This presents two wealth planning opportunities. Firstly, a growing business requires working capital. As a sole proprietorship, growing working capital is hard because profits are taxed at your personal marginal rate of taxation which may be in excess of 50%. By incorporating, you can grow your working capital, and thus expand your construction business, at a much faster rate because of the low rate of corporate tax. Secondly, by leaving profits in the Corporation in excess of your personal needs, you can grow your retirement savings in the corporation at a much faster rate. (In subsequent publications, we will talk about how to creditor-proof these savings). Tax Splitting. A corporation provides for legal tax splitting with members of your family, if they are made shareholders of your corporation. The shares of your corporation may be structured so that you remain in control of the corporation notwithstanding shares issued to family members. Talk to us about your business needs.

Band, balloons, gift cards at Brown’s YIG Special to the News
News - It rained balloons at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer last Saturday. And it was all a surprise, even to most of the staff, as bundle of balloons high up in the rafters over the checkout area were suddenly unleashed, raining balloons down on the area. But this was not all that happened – far from it. A Carleton University band marched through the store, adding a musical touch to this unfolding celebration. And all those who were in the checkout area at the time of the “balloon drop” struck the jackpot as they had their groceries paid for. Yes, that’s right – Brown’s YIG picked up the cost of their groceries. And everyone else in the store at the time was not forgotten. Every customer received a ten dollar gift card from Brown’s YIG. This was all the culmination of a four week program in which National Grocers stores were celebrating “some moments worth sharing” with their customers. It has been a way of thanking customers for their patronage over the years. But not every store involved in the overall program had a balloon drop like happened at Brown’s YIG. Brown’s YIG was one of only five stores supplied by National Grocers which surprised customers with a “balloon drop.” Several National Grocers managers were on hand for this “balloon drop” at Brown’s YIG. These included District Manager Pam Smith, Ottawa Area District Manager Jeff Mitchell and Dino Naccarato, who is Vice-President (Retail) for National Grocers.

Gingerbread family Christmas party
CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY!
Special to the News
News - Creating gingerbread houses is a Christmas tradition for many. One opportunity for this is at the annual gingerbread family Christmas party which will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Richmond. Cost is $20 per family which will include a gingerbread house, candy, snacks and a visit from Santa Claus. Tickets should be purchased in advance as there will only be a limited number of tickets available at the door. For tickets, please contact Christine Ormsby at 613838-6019 or via email at scormsby4000@sympatico.ca. The tradition of making decorated gingerbread houses started in Germany in the early 1800s. According to certain researchers, the first gingerbread houses were the result of the well-known Grimm’s fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” in which the two children abandoned in the forest found an edible house made of bread with sugar decorations. After this book was published, German bakers began baking ornamented fairy-tale houses of gingerbread. These became popular during Christmas, a tradition that came to America with Pennsylvanian German immigrants. According to other food historians, the Grimm brothers were speaking about something that already existed. In modern times the tradition has continued in certain places in Europe. In Germany the Christmas markets still sell decorated gingerbread before Christmas. Making gingerbread houses is still a way of celebrating Christmas in many families. They are built traditionally before Christmas using pieces of baked gingerbread dough assembled with melted sugar. The roof tiles can consist of frosting or candy. The gingerbread house yard is usually decorated with icing to represent snow. A gingerbread house does not have to be an actual house, although it is the most common. It can be anything from a castle to a small cabin, or another kind of building, such as a church, an art museum, or a sports stadium, and other items, such as cars, gingerbread men and gingerbread women, can be made of gingerbread dough. Since 1991, the people of Bergen in Norway, have built a city of gingerbread houses each year before Christmas. It is claimed to be the world’s largest such city. Every child under the age of 12 can make their own house at no cost with the help of their parents. In 2013, a group in Bryan, Texas broke the Guinness World Record for the largest gingerbread house, with a 2,520-square-foot edible-walled house in aid of a hospital trauma centre.

Rams win in overtime Special to the News
Sports - They’re the top two teams in the Valley Division of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League and so you expected a close game. And that’s just what last Friday night’s game between the visiting Stittsville Rams and the hometown Renfrew Timberwolves was at the Renfrew arena in Renfrew.

Jake Oliver and Mike DiBello picked up assists on this game winning overtime goal. The game was tied 1-1 after the first period, with Renfrew scoring early in the period and Stittsville coming back five and a half minutes later to tie

Renfrew struck at the 5:44 mark to take a 2-1 lead but the Rams came back late in the period, with Connor Cobbold scoring at the 17:24 mark to tie up the game.

Notice of Completion Manotick Watermain Link Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study for the construction of a new watermain to the Village of Manotick. The Manotick Watermain Link will provide needed redundancy and reliability to the Manotick community, the potential for current residents on private wells to have access to the central water supply and will also provide additional capacity to service new planned developments. The Class EA determined the preferred solution is to construct a new watermain from Summerhill Street in the Riverside South Community and extend south on River Road where it will cross the Rideau River at the north end of Walter Upton-Collins Park to the south end of David Bartlett Park. The route will continue south along Bravar Drive, Long Island Road and Van Vliet Road to a second crossing of the Rideau River channel and connect to Antochi Lane. The route will continue west on Antochi Lane and connect to an existing watermain on Manotick Main Street. The study was undertaken in accordance with the requirements for Schedule B projects under the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000), as amended 2007 & 2011. A Project File Report has been prepared documenting the problem statement, existing conditions, identification and evaluation of alternatives and the selection of the preferred solution as well as public and agency consultation.

News - Put together eight musicians, with an array of instruments ranging from Celtic harp to bodhran to accordion to mandolin to guitars to drums. Toss in vocals from at least five of the musicians. And focus on Irish and Celtic traditional music and what do you have? You could call it a ceilidh, a gathering where songs and ballads are sung and stories are told in song. But you could also call it just one great big happy musical time and that’s just what happened at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening. It all came about quite by accident, as it were, as Irish singer Kevin Dooley had been scheduled to perform at the shop, along with his daughter Deirdre and friend Susan Sweeney Hermon. But a family funeral in Ireland intervened and Kevin was unavailable for the performance. That’s when Susan Sweeney Hermon put out a call to the Irish music community of the area to see if they could fill in for the missing Kevin Dooley. Well, they sure did, with eight musicians showing up and the result was an evening of toe and finger tapping Irish and Celtic music
that just went on and on, one song after another. This group did not even take the traditional intermission break that is the custom at these Friday music evenings. You had Dierdre Dooley on percussion; Steve Renahan on mandolin and bodhran as well as vocals; Pat Donnelly on guitar, fiddle and mouth organ as well as vocals; Scott Donnelly on accordion and whistles as well as vocals; Brendan Ryan on mandolin, guitar and vocals; Jes Alexant on whistles; Aharon Zohar on accordion; and Susan Sweeney Hermon on Celtic harp and bodhran as well as vocals. They went back and forth, with Susan Sweeney Hermon leading in one song, perhaps Brendan Ryan or Pat Donnelly taking the lead in another. Some were instrumental pieces while most featured vocal accompaniment of some sort. There were peppy little songs, soulful ballads, colourful story songs, all in the Irish and Celtic tradition. It was an evening that won’t soon be forgotten by the audience which crowded the coffee shop for this unique musical event. Paul Jay of the Gaia Java Coffee Shop noted that this evening with the friends of Kevin Dooley saw the greatest number of instruments ever on a Friday music evening at the shop.

ing, especially for this coming Friday when such a popular and large group of singers will be performing. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Tickets for the Ladies Chorus’ upcoming Christmas concert are on sale at the Gaia Java shop. This performance by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus group at the Gaia Java shop was arranged quickly after The Crumble Quartet string quartet, which was the group scheduled to perform, had to withdraw due to an injury to one of its members. West Ottawa Ladies Chorus music director Robert Dueck and Gaia Java shop owner Paul Jay quickly made contact with each other and thanks to a favourable response to perform from a number of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus members, this upcoming performance at the Gaia Java shop came together.

Lots of music at Friday open mic night John Curry

News - Live music may have found a home in Richmond. That’s because last Friday’s acoustic open mic night at the Richmond Curling Club lounge not only attracted 15 musicians who performed either in a group or singly but also saw an audience which peaked around 40 people in the three-hour session. Admission to attend was simply a non-perishable food item for the Richmond Food Bank. And three boxes of food were collected from those attending last Friday’s inaugural event. All of this was most encouraging to organizer Andrew McKim who is now starting to organize another such music night in December. Indeed, his hope is that these music evenings will become a monthly happening. Andrew’s idea is to bring together local musicians in an open and fun atmosphere to play music before an appreciative audience. Andrew did line up sponsorship for this acoustic open mic night.

Support came from King’s Your Independent Grocer and from Tiffany Fisher of Royal LePage Gale Real Estate to cover the cost of renting the venue and covering any needed associated equipment for the event. Last Friday’s inaugural event saw music presented for three hours, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Among the performers were the band “Krow” which is simply the word “work” spelled backwards. The four band members, Cory Colbourme, Billy Whittall, Alastair McCartney and Oleg Joukov, work together and discovered their mutual love of music. The result is “Krow.” Allison Stanton, who is gathering up experience as she begins to perform as a singer, sang a couple of songs. Another vocalist who performed at this music evening was Christine Handfield. Among her musical offerings was a version of soul singer Otis Redding’s “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay.” Otis Redding recorded this song in 1967, just days before his death in a plane crash. Andrew McKim also performed JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Christine Handfield sings at the acoustic open mic during the evening, including a rendinight at the Richmond Curling Club lounge last tion of Leonard Cohen’s iconic “Hallelujah.” Friday.
News - The formation of the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion resulted from the efforts of Richmond and area veterans and Legion members at other branches who decided that a Legion branch should be established in Richmond. An advertisement was placed in the newspaper seeking out those interested in forming a Legion branch, with a number responding, although only two were members of existing Legions. Meetings were held in basements and in homes as a learning process took place about the aims and goals of the Royal Canadian Legion. Both the neighbouring Stittsville and Manotick branches assisted and the Richmond branch was formed in 1973 with 28 members. These charter members were Stan Banner, Robert Barkley, Roger Bourgeois, Honore Caron, Mary Christy, Stewart Christy, Roger Camphorn, Rita Crowe, Robert Crowe, Arthur Dickinson, John Dixie, Gordon Hotchkiss, who was the first president, Rick Jamieson, Frank Jefferies, Lillian Jefferies, John Lewis, William Moore, John Pickett, Albert Pulfer, Brent Robillard, Levi Robinson, John Rothwell, Roy Schmelzer, Richard Scoales, Shelly Spearman, Harry Thomas, Wayne Thomas and Shaw Wilson. The Richmond Legion, like all Legion branches, must not be just another community service club, but rather is an organization whose primary focus and responsibility is the care of veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces and their dependents. However, the Legion also is involved in community affairs and very much carries out a role of community advocacy and support. The Richmond Legion began weekly bingos and these remained an important and significant fundraising vehicle for the branch over the years. The early years saw the branch raise funds through a Chooseathon, a fundraising event that saw participants walk or bike or otherwise travel between Richmond and Manotick. Early on in its life, the Richmond Legion became involved in an annual Christmas dinner for seniors, an event which remains a Yuletide highlight in the village to this day. The Richmond Legion also initiated a Meals on Wheels program in Richmond and area, delivering hot meals to shut-ins to ensure that they were getting proper and sufficient nourishment. The Legion provided this service for the community over the years until giving it up
to the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. The Richmond Legion held fundraising garage sales in its early years as it began fundraising for the construction of a Legion Hall. In 1976, the Richmond Legion became the first Legion branch in Ontario to sell Nevada tickets, a fundraising endeavour that can now be found widely in Legion branches. In 1981, the Richmond Legion opened its new Legion Hall on Ottawa Street at the western end of Richmond. The land had been purchased at a very reasonable price, and thanks to fundraising efforts and to a lot of the work being done by Legion members themselves, the Hall became a reality in 1981 and has since been the home of the Richmond Legion Branch 625. North Gower artist Becky Marr-Johnson painted a giant, multi-scened mural on the west wall of the Legion Hall in the 1990s. The Legion Hall has become the home not only of the Richmond Legion but also of Club 55, the seniors arm of the Legion, and the Ladies’ Auxiliary. The Richmond Legion has never forgotten its true purpose, to serve veterans and their dependents. Legion Members annually take part in a poppy blitz in both Richmond and Munster. The branch held significant ceremonies to mark the 50th anniversary of D-Day and the 50th anniversary of the ending of the Second World War. It has also honoured war brides. The Richmond Legion was instrumental in the creation of Memorial Park at the corner of McBean Street and Perth Street in Richmond, and in the erection at the park of a cenotaph in honour of the war dead. The park is also the site of annual Remembrance Day services. It is also the site of special services to mark special events such as a ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the armistice for the cessation of the Korean conflict. The Richmond Legion annually provides a colour party, which heads up the Richmond Fair Parade. As well, it provides bursaries to help with post-secondary school expenses for deserving Richmond and area students. The Richmond Legion is the site of a busy agenda of regular events, such as euchre parties, a morning coffee club, fitness sessions and a dart league. There are regular barbecues in the summertime which are most successful.

Third annual Christmas concert ‘A Garland of Carols’ Molly O’Connor
Special to the News
News – The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is counting down the days to its upcoming third annual Christmas concert, “A Garland of Carols.” In this year’s concert, the Ladies Chorus is celebrating in its concert with the hip-swinging Calypso beat of the Caribbean along with traditional carols. Eliana Kurilov, who accompanies the Ladies Chorus, is from Brazil and plays the Calypso beat with passion. She is a classically and sacred
music trained musician with dual degrees in music with concentration in piano and organ. She has more than 30 years experience as a pianist and organist for soloists, adult choirs and church services. In addition to her role with the Ladies Chorus, Eliana accompanies the Kanata Choral Society and teaches piano at the Ottawa School of Music. To enhance this year’s concert experience, Ladies Chorus director Robert Dueck has invited two accomplished musicians to take part in the concert: Robin Tropper who is
a well known oboe player and Gary King who plays the guitar. Robin Tropper is trained in classical music and will be performing the pre-concert entertainment, highlighting traditional Christmas music with the warm tones of his oboe. Gary King has provided guitar accompaniment at several Ladies Chorus performances in the past. He also sings, as he is in his third year of singing with the Goulbourn Male Chorus and in his 28th year with the Ottawa Choral Society. He has also sung for 16 years with the St. Barnabus Church choir.
At this year’s concert, several members of the Ladies Chours will be shaking it up with traditional Caribbean instruments. The men of the West Ottawa Chorale will also be adding their voices to the concert’s program. The Trinity Handbell Quartet will also be performing at the concert. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be presenting its Christmas concert on two occasions this year. There will be one performance on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and then another performance 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 per person are available now at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville as well as at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata. Coir members also have tickets available for sale and tickets will be available at the door if the concerts are not sold out beforehand.

Free electronics recycling drop-off is here Special to the News
News - Do you have some unused electronics around the house that you would like to dispose of in an environmentally friendly way? And do you have some used clothing as well around the house that you would like to see go to help others? Well, you can achieve both goals thanks to a free electronics recycling drop-off being held by the Goulbourn Rockets girls peewee and bantam hockey teams that is also going to be a free used clothing drop-off. It’s all going to happen this Saturday, Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the southern portion of Brown’s Your
Independent Grocer parking lot on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. The electronics recycling drop-off will go to benefit these Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association teams while the used clothing drop-off will go to help those with cerebral palsy. Dropping off used clothing at this event provides you with a hassle free way to recycle this clothing and give back to the community by helping those with cerebral palsy. It is also environmentally friendly as it will keep this used clothing out of Ontario landfills. Cerebral palsy is a neurological condition caused by an injury to the
developing brain. Dropping off old electronics at this drop-off on Saturday, Nov. 22 will be convenient and quick. There will be drive-thru lanes set up in the parking lot, so you just have to drive in and there will be volunteers there to remove your old electronics or used clothing or both from your vehicle and then you will be on your way as the volunteers place the old electronics or used clothing in the appropriate collection bins. Old electronics which will be accepted at this drop-off include televisions, computer monitors, computers of all types, AM/FM radios, answer-
ing machines, cordless telephones, printers, digital picture frames, digital projectors, fax machines, hard drives, home stereo systems, keyboards, mice, modems, scanners, turntables, typewriters power by an AC power plug or by internal battery unit, video cassette players, photocopiers and more. Please, though, remove all batteries from the equipment being recycled. This is not the recycling venue for used batteries. Everyone is urged to take advantage of this free used electronics recycling drop-off and free used cloth-
ing drop-off this Saturday, Nov. 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the parking lot at Brown’s YIG. You will not only be getting rid of your old electronics and used clothing but you will be helping out the Goulbourn Rockets girls peewee and bantam hockey teams and will be helping support those with cerebral palsy. The teams received funds from the Ontario Electronic Stewardship organization based on the weight of the recycled electronics received. The Ontario Federation for Cerebral Palsy receives funds based on the used clothing donated.
Fiddling, bluegrass music at fundraiser Special tothe News
News - One of Canada’s most renowned fiddlers will be performing in Stittsville on Thursday, Nov. 27. Fiddler Louis Schryer, a four-time Canadian Grand Masters fiddle champion and eight-time Canadian Open fiddle champion, will be a special guest performer at the McKnight Family Benefit Concert that is being held at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Thursday, Nov. 27 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. This fundraising concert is being held to help out six year old Liam, a Constance Bay youngster who suffers from a rare disease called Dravet Syndrome. It’s going to be a night not only of fiddling but also of bluegrass music. Organizer Don Fletcher of Stittsville has lined up three bluegrass bands to play at the event, namely The Backsliders, Concession 23 and Hack’s & Buggies. It will be a musical night to remember, no doubt about it. Admission will be simply a suggested donation of $10 (or more) with the doors at the Lions Hall opening at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. There will also be a silent auction and a 50/50
draw held during the evening. Catering for the event will be provided by Casa Dei Panini House of Sandwiches and Broadway Bar & Grill at Riverside South. Don Fletcher has gotten involved with fundraising to help in this fight against Dravet Syndrome because a co-worker of his is the parent of six year old Liam, the youngster suffering from Dravet Syndrome. Dravet Syndrome is a genetic disorder of Chromosome 2, causing epilepsy and other neurological and development problems. Dravet Syndrome accounts for one percent of those suffering from epilepsy. Liam can and does suffer from over 100 seizures a day. He wants to return to school in grade one but cannot as yet due to medication issues. On Saturday, Sept. 20, a “Walk for the Kids” event was held in Constance Bay, Liam’s home community, which raised funds for Dravet.ca, a volunteer-based Canadian charity dedicated to providing education, support, research and advocacy on behalf of Canadians living with Dravet Syndrome. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is helping out this Nov. 27 fundraiser for Liam

by donating half of the items gathered for a silent auction at the recent Villagefest for use at this fundraiser for Liam. Villagefest on Saturday, Sept. 13 had to be cancelled due to rainy weather. A silent auction had been planned for Villagefest, with a variety of items such as Kiwi Kraze certificates and a gift certificate for Cabotto’s Restaurant having been assembled for a Villagefest silent auction. Since this Villagefest silent auction never happened, the SVA
has these items and it was decided that half of the items should be donated for use at this Nov. 27 fundraiser for Liam. The Stittsville District Lions Club is providing the use of the Lions Hall for the event and also will be running the bar at the fundraiser. The sound for the concert is being handled by David Hauraney. Another corporate sponsor of this event is Gunn Media.

Squash CF Pumpkin Launch raises $5,031 for cystic fibrosis Special to the News
News - Launching pumpkins through the air not only draws attention but raises funds as well. This is what happened as a result of the Ottawa Chapter of Cystic Fibrosis of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first annual Squash CF Pumpkin Launch in support of the thousands of Canadian children and young adults who are living with cystic fibrosis, the most common fatal genetic disease affecting children. It not only raised a total of $5,031.20 but helped spread awareness around the community about cystic fibrosis. All of the proceeds from this first annual Squash CF Pumpkin Launch are being directed
to help fund ongoing cystic fibrosis research and clinical care for those living with cystic fibrosis, a life-shortening disease. This Squash CF Pumpkin Launch happened on Sunday, Nov. 2 at the Richmond Nursery site on Fallowfield Road at Old Richmond Road where, using a giant slingshot, everyone attending had a chance to fling pumpkins or used jack â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o lanterns through the sky at targets, all in support of CF. Participants were asked to donate a set fee in order to be able to launch a pumpkin from a giant catapult, aiming at targets that were spread out around the Richmond Nurseryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s site.
For each target hit with a pumpkin or jack â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;o lantern, the participantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was automatically entered in a draw to win a prize. These prizes included museum family passes, party passes to Yuk Yukâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and gift certificates from local restaurants. And for the younger crowd, young children were able to fling apples from a miniature sized catapult while also taking part in harvestthemed games and activities. Music will be supplied by DAWG FM. To learn more about Cystic Fibrosis Canada or to donate, please visit www.cysticfibrosis.ca or contact Cystic Fibrosis Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ottawa Chapter at azinger01@hotmail.com.

Special to the News
News - Christmas is coming to Goulbourn on Sunday, Nov. 30. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the Goulbourn Museum is hosting its annual Old-Fashioned Christmas and Outdoor Artisan Market, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Museum site at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners just south of Stittsville. There will be a vendor tent full of holiday shopping opportunities, with the artisans selling everything from handmade pottery to soaps to jewelry to knit wear to chocolate truffles to baked goods. In addition to this outdoor artisan market (held in a tent), there will be a host of free family activities. These will include letter writing

Yarn bombing brings colour to Museum Special to the News
News - The Goulbourn Museum at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners is a colourful place these days. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thanks to a yarn bombing which happened at the Museum last Sunday, with some of the entrance railings to the facility covered with colourful knitting. A total of 23 knitters turned out for the regular Yap & Yarn session at the Museum, with many of them taking turns stitching swatches together. A hardy handful of knitters also braved the chilly weather to attach the knitting to the railings at the front of the Museum and even to cover two of the medal squares on the street side of the building. This knitting features a variety of colours, giving a festive and bright appearance to the Museum. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing what some knitting can do in this regard. You may not know what a yard bombing project is. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple explanation: yarn bombing is the art of adding a knit cover to something. Known as fibre graffiti, it trans-
forms 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 and side of the Museum building that were the focus of last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the yarn bombing. The idea to yarn bomb the railing was first suggested at a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yap & Yarnâ&#x20AC;? session. This is the Goulbourn Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s informal knitting circle that meets monthly. The Museum provided the yarn and zip-ties required to install the yarn bombing swatches on the railings. It is hoped that the yarn bombing installation will be able to stay in place for several months but the winter 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 continue. All of the swatches will be washed and then the Museum will try to find ways to reuse them in some way.

Munster Elementary School New Early French Immersion Program Viability & Student Accommodation for 2015-2016 Parents and interested community members are invited to attend a public meeting. Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Munster Elementary School, Gymnasium 7816 Bleeks Road Presentation at 7:00 p.m. Munster Elementary School is located in the Hamlet of Munster (7816 Bleeks Road) and currently offers a Regular English program to students residing in the western portion of the former Township of Goulbourn. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrolment has decreased significantly for the 2014-2015 school year and currently stands at 58 students. The Board is seeking community input regarding increasing the current low enrolment at Munster Elementary School with the introduction of a new Early French Immersion program and whether or not that option is viable. Some action is likely required at the school for the 2015-2016 school year. Following the Public Consultation Meeting on December 3rd and a review of input received from the community, a recommendation by staff will be brought forward to the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee of the Whole in early 2015. The report will provide the Board of Trustees with information regarding the viability of introducing a new Early French Immersion Program, including community input, and a recommended course of action for the accommodation of Munster Elementary School students in September 2015. A final decision by the Board of Trustees is scheduled to take place in early 2015. More information can be found at http://www.ocdsb.ca/sch/as/Pages/efi-at-Munster.aspx

Chief John deHooge retiring from position at end of January News - Ottawa is on the hunt for a new fire chief. Chief John deHooge, who has served as the head of the Ottawa Fire Service for five years, announced on Nov. 13 that he will retire at the end of January. DeHooge began his 35-year career as deputy fire chief for the Town of Oakville before becoming the fire chief in Waterloo. He arrived to lead the fire service in the city of Ottawa in 2009. “Chief deHooge has been a strong and progressive leader during his time in Ottawa,” Mayor Jim Watson said in a statement. “His focus has been on ensuring the safety of residents and visitors to the city. On behalf of my colleagues on council, I wish John all the best as he retires to spend more time with family and friends.” DeHooge oversaw many initiatives, including enhancing workplace inclusion, developing a mental-health awareness program, improving staff communications and bolstering relationships with partners like the police and paramedics through a joint emergency operations advisory group. Under deHooge’s watch, the Ottawa Fire Service became the largest composite fire service to be recognized by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International.

George Lyon has only gold medal in golf John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sports - Golf is returning to the Olympics in 2016 and that’s when you will probably hear a lot of references to George Lyon, the last and only golfer to win an Olympic gold medal. It has, in fact, been over 100 years since golf was played at the Olympic Games, with the one and only gold medal in golf being given out at the 1904 Olympics in St. Louis in the United States. What makes the connection of golf and the Olympics so significant locally is that the only person to ever win a gold medal in golf in the Olympics was a Canadian and, even more importantly, it was a golfer who was born in Richmond, Ontario. Indeed, this year will mark the 155th anniversary of the birth of the world’s only Olympic gold medalist in golf as George Seymour Lyon was born in Richmond on July 27, 1858. While born in Richmond, George Seymour Lyon spent most of his life in Toronto where he gained a reputation as a superb all-round athlete, culminated in his prowess on the golf course. He was, though, a late comer to the sport of golf, only taking up the sport in 1896 when a friend dared him to hit a golf ball. This one swipe led to a fascination and enthusiasm for the game that stayed with him for the rest of his life, leading not only to numerous Canadian amateur golf championships but also to the one and only Olympic gold medal. He was 46 years old in 1904 when he became the only person in history to win an Olympic gold medal in golf, marking Canada’s first international golf victory. In the 1904 Olympics which were held in St. Louis, Missouri, in the United States, George Lyon was one of 87 golfers who played in the qualifying round. George finished seventh among the 32 qualifiers who went on to compete against each other in a match play format. George Lyon defeated F.C. Newton of Seattle in semi-final play and then played Chandler Egan, the reigning United States amateur champion, in the gold medal final, winning three up with two holes to go and capturing the Olympic gold medal. He made some remarkable shots during his Olympic play. For instance, he drove the 276 yard first green four times during his matches and in his semi-final match, his drive on the 327 yard eighth hole finished
up hole high. “His spectacular hitting, more than any other single factor, led to his greatest single achievement in golf,” S.F. Wise and Douglas Fisher wrote about George Lyon’s gold medal win in the 1904 Olympics at the Glen Echo golf Club in St. Louis in their book “Canada’s Sporting Heroes”. It was his power off the tee and his superb long iron play that really set George Lyon apart from the field in this Olympic golf championship and indeed in his golfing career in general, although he was also known for his deadly putting. He was also noted as well for his ability to get out of trouble on the course. His competitive, albeit friendly, nature made him a first class match play golfer, sometimes overcoming his inconsistent putting. That he knew how to have a good time is perhaps best conveyed by the fact that when he was called up to accept his golfing gold medal at the 1904 Olympics, he did so by doing a handstand down the aisle. But, then, he was also talented in such athletic pursuits as he had set a national pole vault record when he was 18 in 1876. Some of his golfing power and ability may have come from the fact that he was a first class cricket player. During 11 years of international competition, George Lyon was one of the country’s best known cricket players. Once, in 1894, in a match in Toronto, he carried his bat for 238, setting a national record. There were few sports at which George Seymour Lyon did not excel. He was one of the best amateur baseball players in the Toronto area in the 1880’s. He also excelled in football and hockey as well as lawn bowling, tennis and curling. In curling, he event won the coveted Ontario Tankard representing the provincial championship. But it is golf for which George Lyon is best known, not only because of his Olympic gold medal win in 1904 but also because he won the Canadian amateur golf championship eight times during the period of 1898 to 1914 and then went on to win the Canadian senior golf championship ten times during the period of 1918 to 1932. He also finished second four times during this period. In 1906, George Lyon came close to winning the prestigious United States amateur golf championship. The week of competition saw him being defeated by Eben Bryers in the fi-
nal, with the match being decided on the very last hole. George Lyon could have been a double gold medalist in golf at the Olympics but his sense of fair play saw him turn down this honour. Golf was also on the program for the 1908 Olympics in London but George Lyon from Canada turned out to be the only entrant in the men’s golf competition due to a boycott of the Games by British golfers. As the only entrant in the competition, he was offered the gold medal, which would have been his second, but he refused to accept it. George Lyon served as president of the Royal Canadian Golf Association in 1923. When Canada’s Golf Hall of
Fame was established in 1971, heading the selections was George Seymour Lyon of Toronto, who had been born in Richmond. “George Lyon has done more for Canadian golf than any other exponent of the Royal and Ancient game in the Commonwealth,” wrote L.V. Kavanagh in his book “History of Gold in Canada”. George Lyon is also a member of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and in 1996 was inducted into the Goulbourn Sports Wall of Fame. The name of George Seymour Lyon is still known in golfing circles in Ontario as the George S. Lyon Championship is a Golf Association of Ontario tournament.
This provincial championship for four member teams involves teams of four male golfers from various golf clubs. The tournament is played at four different courses throughout the Greater Toronto Area, with one member of each team playing at a different course. The combined total of the scores of the four golfers determines the winner of the George S. Lyon Championship and the recipients of the George S. Lyon Shield. So the name George Seymour Lyon continues to be known in the world of golf, not bad for a person born in Richmond 156 years ago and the person who remains today as the one and only Olympic gold medal winner in golf.

or what was being taken out of it. Then Emerson asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is it?â&#x20AC;? Mother said it was a raincoat. I glanced over to the centre of the kitchen floor where all the action was taking place. None of us owned a raincoat, for heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake. If we got wet walking to or from school, we got wet, and that was the simple truth. Mother told me to go over and try it on. It was as black as a boot, and stiff, boy was it stiff, with big silver clips all down the front of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be great for Halloweenâ&#x20AC;Śtoo bad itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over,â&#x20AC;? Emerson snorted. I prayed on the way over to the pile of clothes that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit me. Mother fed my arms into the coat, did up the clips and declared it a perfect fit. The inside was exactly like the underside of our oilcloth on the kitchen table. I told her I was smothering in it. I told her I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bend my arms. I told her it smelled just like the tires on the Model T. I told her I would rather be caught dead than be seen in something called a raincoat that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never even heard of before! Well, Mother wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to waste a perfectly good piece of clothing that came in the handme-down box. She hated mice with a passion, and even though everything was battened down in the summer kitchen, like the wood lid on the sauerkraut barrel, and the tin boxes that held frozen pies and cookies, she was never sure the mice couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a way to invade what would be going into our mouths. The next morning when I went to the summer kitchen to bring in wood for the wood box, as I did every morning, there was the raincoat draped over the sauerkraut barrel, with the round wood lid squeezed tight on top of it, offering further protection from the field mice which came into the summer kitchen to avoid the outside elements.

Lifestyle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The hand-me-down box had arrived from Regina. At least twice a year, Aunt Lizzie sent the big wood crate that at one time held bulk tea. Always boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothes. She had two sons. Never anything in it for my sister Audrey or me. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect anything, so we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappointed. Well, really, there was sometimes something for me, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything I looked forward to. It was a small cardboard box, with my name written in ink, and inside were hateful brown laced boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brogue shoes. I was the only one they would fit, and I hated them with a passion. Sure enough, there was the cardboard box, right on top of the mounds of hand-me-down clothes, that at one time had graced the backs of my very rich cousins out in Regina. Mother had situated herself in front of the box to unpack it one piece at a time. Once, my brothers were allowed this job, but after one glorious, dragged out, bloody fight over an alpaca sweater, the boys had to sit on the floor while mother took out everything, from Uncle Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well worn suits, felt hats, flatted out from the packing, and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shirts of every description. Mother warned my brothers if there was one word of arguing over who got what, the box would have its lid nailed back on and the whole thing dragged out to the summer kitchen! Audrey and I had settled ourselves at the kitchen table thumbing through Eatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue. Father, as usual, not the least bit interested in the box, had moved to the rocking chair by the Findlay Oval with the Family Herald and Weekly Star. Mother, as organized as ever, placed the clothes in matching piles, so there was a heap of sweaters, shirts, odd pants, and an assortment of odds and ends she would find a use for. Nothing was wasted. Audrey and I paid scant attention to the box

Normandy chicken gets taste from brandy Foodland Ontario
Special to the News
Lifestyle - Here are beautiful braised chicken breasts flavoured with Ontario mushrooms, apple cider and Calvados (brandy made from apples in Normandy, France). Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: 30 minutes. Serves four. Ingredients * 10 ml (2 tsp) vegetable oil * 250 g (8 oz) cremini mushrooms, sliced * 1 small onion, sliced * 1 clove garlic, minced * 4 boneless chicken breasts *175 ml (3/4 cup) chicken stock * 175 ml (3/4 cup) apple cider or apple juice * 50 ml (1/4 cup) Calvados or brandy (optional) * 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh thyme * 5 ml (1 tsp) chopped fresh rosemary * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt * 50 ml (1/4 cup) water
* 15 ml (1 tbsp) cornstarch Preparation instructions In large a non-stick skillet, heat five millilitres (one tsp) of oil over medium heat, then add the mushrooms, onion and garlic. Cook, stirring often, for five minutes or until softened. Remove and set aside. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet. Add the chicken breasts, and cook until they’re golden brown, about five minutes. Add the vegetables, chicken stock, apple cider, Calvados, thyme, rosemary and salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, turning the chicken several times for 12 to 14 minutes or until it is no longer pink inside. Transfer the chicken to a platter and tent with foil. Increase the heat to high and boil the liquid until it is reduced by half -- about three to five minutes. Whisk the water with cornstarch and whisk it into the liquid and cook over low heat until the sauce is thickened. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
