Here comes ‘Winterval’ concert John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Music by one of the most popular and widely recorded Baroque composers, Antonio Vivaldi, will fill the Glen Cairn United Church this weekend as the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers hosts its annual Christmas concert there. The first half of the concert, entitled “Winterval,” will see the Jubilee Singers performing Vivaldi’s “Gloria” along with a guest strings and winds ensemble as well as guest soloists, soprano Sarah Burnell and alto Annie Duchesne. The “Gloria” is Vivaldi’s most familiar and popular piece of sacred music. Vivaldi, an Italian Baroque composer, is known for his innovative music, with many of his compositions flamboyantly exuberant. Johann Sebastian Bach was one of those who was deeply influenced by Vivaldi’s music. The second half of the concert will feature a variety of Christmas favourites, so you know that you will be leaving in a very Christmassy spirit. This “Winterval” concert will be held this Saturday, Nov. 23 and again this Sunday, Nov. 24 at 1:30 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata which has been the site for concerts by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers for several years now. For this concert, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers will also be joined by its associated youth choir, the JJ’s. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and also the JJ’s are directed by Linda Crawford, with Erna Poettcker as the accompanist. Linda Crawford is a longtime, now retired music teacher at Goulbourn Middle School. Everyone is welcome to attend this “Winter-

val” Christmas concert this weekend, either the evening performance on Saturday or the matinee performance on Sunday. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the JJ’s include members from Stittsville as well as many surrounding communities. It’s a community choir with singers who enjoying singing with a group of like-minded people and also like having fun. It has been singing and performing in and around the west end communities of Ottawa for 36 years now. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers hold their weekly practices at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road in Stittsville. All singers are most welcome and there are no auditions required. Besides its regular weekly practices, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers performs two concerts annually, one leading up to Christmas and one in the spring. The Jubilee Singers also sing at community events and at seniors residences. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers’ youth choir, the JJ’s, is for boys and girls aged 8 to 14 years. This youth choir joins the senior choir in its performances, performing not only by itself but also joining the adult choir for selected pieces. At the upcoming Christmas concert, one of the pieces on which the two groups will combine is a rendition of “This Little Light of Mine,” the gospel children’s song written by Harry Dixon Loes about 1920 which has now become a folk music tradition. For more information about the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers or about the JJ’s youth choir or to listen to a couple of Goulbourn Jubilee Singers musical selections, log onto www.gjsingers. com. Information can also be obtained by calling Charlotte at 613-825-3357 or Sandra at 613831-8414.

Dave Brown tells the story of Tom Fuller John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - As a columnist, Dave Brown of the Ottawa Citizen has written over 10,000 columns, mostly about people. So you know that he is a superb storyteller. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what he did as the guest speaker at last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he told a story. And what a story! He told about the wartime military exploits of Tom Fuller of Ottawa, who won the Distinguished Service Cross three times and was one of the most decorated naval figures for the Allies in the Second World War. Mr. Brown told how Tom Fuller left school

in Ottawa at grade nine, mainly because he was bored with school since his teachers were not teaching him anything that he did not know. He eventually began his own construction company and by the time that he was 30 years old, he was wealthy. But then along came the Second World War and he felt that he had to get involved. He sold his company for one dollar and tried to enlist in the air force because he wanted to fly but was rejected, so he joined the Canadian Naval Reserve. Off to England, he eventually ended up commanding a flotilla of gunboats and then torpedo boats in the English Channel and later in the Mediterranean. He was not your ordinary solider as he was constantly being reprimanded and even appeared on several occasions before

a military court. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because he bypassed the bureaucracy to get things done, such as placing a problem-causing mine on the desk of the owner of the company manufacturing such mines and accusing a gunnery school teacher of not knowing what he was talking about and then proving it in a demonstration. Tom Fullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exploits even came to the attention of Winston Churchill midway through the war, as Churchill was interested in people who got things done and Tom Fuller was the embodiment of that. Mr. Brown, who phoned Mr. Fuller annually for over 30 years before being able to arrange an interview with him since Mr. Fuller notoriously avoided the media, got to know about Mr. Fullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wartime exploits thanks to a box of action reports which Mr. Fuller had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His whole wartime exploits were in that pile of paper,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Brown said about this box of reports. Mr. Brown said that some of his most favourite memories are sitting in Mr. Fullerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s den overlooking Britannia Bay and letting him ramble on about things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looked and sounded like a pirate,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Brown said of Mr. Fuller, including a piratelike laugh. Thomas Fuller Construction, which he started after returning from the war, still operates in Ottawa under the guidance of his son. He himself was involved with the company until the

age of 70. He died in 1994 at the age of 85. During his lifetime, he had served as Commodore of the Britannia Yacht Club on numerous occasions. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society dealt with the exploits of a military man since last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s November meeting dealt with the topic of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women at War.â&#x20AC;? For the meeting, which was held at the Stittsville Legion Hall, there was a display of wartime memorabilia on display including war medals, an old military photograph, books and newspapers such as one reporting on the Normandy invasion. Mr. Brown retired from the Ottawa Citizen in 2003, although he continues to write columns on a bi-monthly basis on Mondays. He began his career in journalism at the age of 15, writing a high school newsletter on Manitoulin Island. He began working on a free lance basis for the weekly Manitoulin Expositor where he worked for a year after high school graduation before taking a job with the Sudbury Daily Star in 1957. He moved to the Ottawa Journal in 1960 and began writing a column for the paper called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Below the Hillâ&#x20AC;? in 1966. He joined the Ottawa Citizen in 1978, continuing to write a column. In 1993, the National Newspaper Awards selection committee named him the best columnist in Canada.

News - There’s going to be no swimming at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex for the next six months. The pool has already been shut down since the early fall. Initially it was for regular

maintenance work but then the shutdown was extended to December because of a mould situation. It now appears that even more work is needed to ensure that the facility will be free of mould. As a result, the closure

of the pool has been extended, with the reopening date now projected to be at the end of June, 2014. This will give the city time to undertake more maintenance and construction work and mould remediation to en-

Electronics drop off in Stittsville Continued from page 1

The items are properly recycled or reused or disposed of. And the girls pee wee hockey team makes some money. It will all be happening this Saturday, Nov. 23 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the parking lot at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville. Just look for the big recycling bin that will be there and you’re there. This free electronics drop off will be accepting a wide range of electronics – amplifiers, audio and video players and recorders, cameras, cell phones, desktop and laptop computers and peripherals, copiers, digital cameras, fax machines, monitors, pagers, printers, radios, receivers, scanners, speakers, telephones and answering machines, tuners, turntables, televisions and video projectors. Electronics such as these contained ingredients like precious metals including gold, silver and platinum and base metals like steel, iron, zinc and copper. Indeed, 14 tonnes of e-waste creates one tonne of copper. That’s one tonne of copper that does not have to be taken from the ground in mining. Recovered plastics are recycled into plastic components for new electronic devices or other products like auto parts and garden furniture. It is estimated that nearly 50 million tones of e-waste are disposed of each year around the world.

This free electronics recycling drop off in Stittsville is being held by the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association’s pee wee team in conjunction with RECYCLEYOURELECTRONICS. ca which is operated by the Ontario Electronic Stewardship. It’s all about diverting electronic waste from Ontario’s landfills and responsibly disposing of it. The funding which the pee wee girls hockey team will receive comes from fees paid to the Ontario Electronic Stewardship by the electronics producers themselves. There is also the Environmental Handling Fee paid on purchasing new electronics that goes to cover the collection, transportation and processing of electronic waste as well as research and educational programs promoting the responsible management of end-of-life electronics. The Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) is a not-for-profit industry organization which oversees the responsible reuse and recycling of end-of-life electronics through a program that includes numerous collection sites like the free drop off being held in Stittsville this Saturday. These drop off locations have diverted well over 160,000 tonnes from landfill since April 2009.

ity. While the pool will be closed for the next six months, the arenas, fitness rooms and community centre space at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex will continue to remain open and functioning. As a result of the pool’s extended closure, all aquatic programming and rentals at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool are cancelled until the pool re-opens. For participants registered in the swimming sessions scheduled to start in January, a credit for the full value of the lessons will automatically be returned to the family’s city of Ottawa account. The credit can then be used to register for future lessons or for lessons at another city pool or applied to any recreation programming offered by the city of Ottawa. Those wishing a refund

Speaking at the monthly meeting of the Stittsville Village Association on Thursday evening, Nov. 14, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri said that mould was found in the facility’s air circulation apparatus.

‘We Love Hockey’ song - Wow! John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - At the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop’s Friday music evening last Friday, you heard songs associated with such singers as Bruce Springsteen and Daniel Lanois as well as songs written by performer Larry Pegg himself but the showstopper was the song “We Love Hockey” which Larry has entered in the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Song Quest contest now underway. Larry is hoping that the song will receive support in the voting in the Song Quest voting and will make the top 50 to qualify for the second round of voting and possible selection as Canada’s next great hockey song. If the song

does go far, he is turning over all of the funds generated to the Do It For Daron campaign as he is a tireless advocate for mental health initiatives. Indeed, 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of his recent CD “Before and Afterlife: The Theory of Positivity” are being directed to suicide prevention groups across the country. Sales will be tracked geographically with the donations made to appropriate local groups. The night before appearing at the Gaia Java shop in Stittsville last Friday, Larry was one of the performers at a multi-artist VOICES Benefit Concert at the National Arts Centre’s 4th Stage for the Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health. In keeping with Larry’s

support for Do It For Daron and mental health initiatives, all tips received last Friday in the tip box at the Gaia Java coffee shop are being given to Do It For Daron. Larry lost his daughter, who was an avid hockey fan, six years ago. The songs on his new CD., all written by him, were partly written before his daughter died and partly after her death. His CD and his music are his own personal attempt to remain positive after his daughter’s death. Hence the CD’s title: “Before and Afterlife: The Theory of Positivity.” The CD includes 12 songs including “Afterlife” and “Last of the Hot Summer Days,” both of which he sang at his performance last Friday at the Gaia Java coffee shop.

This performance at the Gaia Java coffee shop was Larry’s first-ever performance at a coffee shop. Larry sang the Bruce Springsteen song “Blood Brothers” during his performance, noting that Bruce Springsteen in his songs really speaks to people, especially when they are hurting. He turned to Daniel Lanois’ 1993 album “For the Beauty of

Wynona” for one of his songs. Daniel Lanois is a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer who was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame in 2005 and who received a lifetime achievement award at the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award ceremony this year. Another interesting song presented by Larry during his Gaia Java appearance last

Friday was his leadoff song in the second half of his performance, “Ogdensburg.” He said that this is the only song ever written about Ogdensburg which is just across the border in New York State. He finished up his performance with his song “Please Wait” which is a plea for making the world a healthier, safer place for everyone by remedying mental health issues in society.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 13, 2013 established its intention to designate the St. Charles Church, 135 Barrette Street, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of Property St. Charles Church, 135 Barrette Street, constructed in 1908, is a large, brick clad wooden Roman Catholic Church. It is located between Beechwood Avenue and Barrette Street in Ottawa’s Vanier neighbourhood. Heritage Value The cultural heritage value of St. Charles Church lies in it being a good example of the Québec Neoclassical style, its important role in the Francophone Catholic community and in its contextual value as a landmark in Vanier. Designed by Québec architect Charles Brodeur, St. Charles Church is a good example of the Québec Neoclassical style. Neoclassicism was popular in Canada from 1800 until 1860 but churches continued to be built in this style in Québec and French-speaking Parishes outside of Québec into the 20th century. Typical of the style, St. Charles Church has a smooth, symmetrical façade and a simple, cruciform plan. It features a symmetrical fenestration pattern, and a projecting entrance tower topped by a wooden belfry and ﬂanked by two tower like corner pilasters topped with smaller belfries. St. Charles Church has historical value for its association with the Francophone Catholic community in Ottawa. The congregation was formed in 1908 in response to demands by the local Catholic community who thought that other Francophone churches in Ottawa were too far away from Vanier. In 1912, Father François-Xavier Barrette was appointed Parish Priest and under his guidance, the church quickly became the centre of the Francophone Catholic community in Vanier. In 1926, Barrette and a small group of civil servants formed the Order of Jacques Cartier, an all male secret society intended to protect and promote Francophone Catholic values. It grew rapidly in the ﬁrst half of the 20th century and is credited with the development of many Francophone organizations including Club Richelieu International, a service club that is still active today. The Order of Jacques Cartier was dissolved in 1965, as a result of the societal changes prompted by the Quiet Revolution. The location of St. Charles Church along the curve of Beechwood Avenue and its tower topped with a blue neon cross make it a prominent local landmark. It has contextual value as it contributes to the distinctive French Canadian identity in the Vanier community. Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

News - Skye MacDiarmid should feel right at home when she performs as a soloist at the upcoming Christmas concert of the Goulbourn Male Chorus. That’s because she will be performing at a concert which also involves both her mother and her father. Her mother, Bonnie MacDiarmid, is the keyboard accompanist of the Goulbourn Male Chorus while her father Rory MacDiarmid sings with the Goulbourn Male Chorus and in fact is the group’s president for the current year. Bonnie MacDiarmid ﬁrst began playing the piano at the age of six and took the Bachelor of Music program at the University of Toronto before a career as a music and piano teacher. She has been an accompanist for various groups, choirs and soloists for three decades, now doing it for the Goulbourn Male Chorus. So, with her mother an accomplished pianist and her father an avid singer, it is not surprising that Skye MacDiarmid would be involved with music. She is a talented soprano who has performed in Ottawa productions of “Opera in

Skye MacDiarmid Hollywood” and as Cinderella in “Into the Woods.” She is known for her gentle and sincere approach to song and has a passion or sacred music. In the Goulbourn Male Chorus concert “Welcome Christmas” on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata, Skye will be singing “He Shall Feed His Flock” from Handel’s Messiah. George Frideric Handel, a Germanborn baroque composter, is regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time, with his “Messiah” one of his most popular works. Another of the guests at the Goulbourn Male Chorus’

Christmas concert will be the Polished Brass Quintet, an Ottawa-based group whose repertoire covers the spectrum from classical to folk to seasonal to sacred music to show tunes to Dixieland to swing and jazz. At the Dec. 15 concert, the Polished Brass Quintet will perform several times. Among other things, the group will lead an audience participation rendition of “Joy to the World” and will accompany the Male Chorus when it sings “We Three Kings.” The Goulbourn Male Chorus’ Christmas concert “Welcome Christmas” will take place on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. Tickets are now on sale for this concert at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street, at Domenic’s Music at Hazeldean Road in Kanata and at CD Warehouse on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. Tickets will be $15 for an adult. There will be a limited number of free admission tickets available for children aged 12 and under. The number of tickets sold will be limited to the seating

Custom versus off the shelf orthotics Do you have sore achy feet, knee or hip pain? You might be surprised to discover that a lot of your aches

and pains can actually be prevented with an orthotic in your shoe. However, before you run out to your nearest drugstore to pick up a pair, you should know custom orthotics will provide much better support and relief than a brand hanging on a shelf. An orthotic acts as a brace to provide support and reduce strain on the muscles of the foot and lower leg. No

two people have the same shaped feet, which is why to truly be effective orthotics should be moulded to ﬁt

your feet and address your individual needs. At BioPed, certiﬁed Pedorthists take the time to discover the individual needs of each patient. They conduct a gait assessment to identify any physical issues that are causing pain and discomfort and discuss lifestyle goals, concerns and medical conditions. A cast is then made of the patient’s foot and custom

orthotics are handmade in their onsite lab to address patients’ individual needs. While store bought orthotics only last about six-months custom orthotics are made from more durable material and can last up to fouryears. If your feet change or concerns about comfort arise during that time, you can have them modified at BioPed instead of having to purchase a completely new pair. You might think that custom orthotics are too expensive. However, you’re more likely to go through several pairs of store-bought orthotics over the same period of time. In the end, you pay approximately the same amount but with custom orthotics you receive greater support and comfort. To discover how custom orthotics can help relieve the aches and pains you suffer from daily, visit BioPed online to find a location in Ottawa near you. You can also find more information about them on Facebook or YouTube. Custom versus off the shelf orthotics BioPed Footcare Centre Ottawa 808 Greenbank Rd.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on November 13, 2013 established its intention to designate the Alexander Fleck House, 593 Laurier Avenue West under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of the Property The Alexander Fleck House is a two-and-a-half storey red brick residential building constructed in 1902 with a later two-storey addition on the western elevation. It is located at 593 Laurier Avenue West, at the corner of Laurier and Bronson Avenues, just outside the western border of Centretown in the City of Ottawa. Heritage Value The Alexander Fleck House’s cultural heritage value is demonstrated through its architectural signiﬁcance as an excellent example of a Queen Anne Revival style house with a high degree of craftsmanship, its association with Alexander Fleck Jr. and the Fleck family, as well as its character as a community landmark. The house is valuable as an excellent example of the Queen Anne Revival style which was popular from the 1880s to 1910. The house, with its steeply-pitched, cross-gable roof with tall chimneys, projecting bays, stone porch with gabled roof and wood columns, use of multiple materials and its geometric and ﬂoriated motifs is typical of the Queen Anne Revival style. Excellent craftsmanship can be seen in the complex roof lines and massing, the intricate brick and stone work, as well as the decorative stained glass. Historical value is found in the building’s association with Alexander Fleck Jr. who owned and operated Alexander Fleck Limited, Vulcan Iron Works on Wellington Street in the late 19th and early 20th century. The general machine shop and foundry which was founded by Fleck’s father contributed to a number of important local projects such as the Cornwall Canal and Ottawa’s street rail system. They held the castings contract for the Canada Atlantic Railway and manufactured machinery for the saw and paper mill industries. Alexander Jr. lived in this house from the time it was constructed in 1902 until his death in 1923. His widow, Maud Fleck, stayed in the house until 1940. The Alexander Fleck house has contextual value as a neighbourhood landmark for its location at the corner of Laurier and Bronson Avenues and its prominent location on a limestone ridge. Objections Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Equality canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be compromised

ity council will soon begin discussions about a new layer of red tape designed to single out students and their landlords. The move is an attempt to create a second class of people in our city: renters. Coun. Rick Chiarelli plans to propose the regulation of rental properties, but only near Algonquin College. Landlords would need licences, and those licences would be in jeopardy if the renters bother the neighbours. Our youth, it seems, should be neither seen nor heard. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a case of picking on the voters a councillor may feel they can ignore as they placate homeowners who may be bothered by noise or mess at a nearby rental property. Never mind that the city has noise and property standards bylaws already in place; better to cater to those who cast ballots in greater numbers. The proposed regulation also presumes homeowners donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make noise or a mess. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no hint that homeowners might need regulating in Chiarelliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s world. Adding the red tape of a licensing system for landlords near Algonquin could result in good, neighbourly students being booted out if landlords

decide one young person is one too many. Why take chances? If the process in onerous enough we may also see some landlords throw their hands up and walk away, selling off properties for non-residential uses. Would homeowners near the college prefer a drivethrough fast food outlet or gas station next door or across the street instead of rental homes? It should be obvious to anyone buying a home near Algonquin College that students may also want to live in the neighbourhood. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students and those seeking an education in the future shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the price for a homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of due diligence. Push out the students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from neighbourhoods within walking distance of the college â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and maybe we can instead look forward to having a â&#x20AC;&#x153;student ghettoâ&#x20AC;? elsewhere in our city where there are fewer complaints (or ones the bylaw department can ignore) instead of young renters spread evenly amongst us. The Chiarelli plan probably sounds like music to the ears of some homeowners, but it also says owners have more rights than renters. This person is more important than that person. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s both divisive and small-minded.

JFK, the news and the changing times

ith increasing frequency, you get reminders of how time has changed. Take this week, the 50th anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy. The first reminder of how much time has changed is the fact that anyone under the age of, say, 55 has no recollection at all of the event â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an event that older people, and not just Americans, count as one of the most important memories of their lives. For those who are old enough, the Kennedy assassination is one of those where-were-you moments. Some of the others might be, for Canadians, the October Crisis of 1970, another event that many are too young to remember, and 9/11, which is still way too close. Those of us who were around at the time John Kennedy was shot remember being glued to our TV sets all weekend. The assassination happened early Friday afternoon and TV coverage was around the clock. Unlike today, we were dependent on television and, to a lesser extent, the newspapers, for the latest developments. Today information would be flying around on the Internet every minute. Not all of that information would be accurate, mind you. Those were the days of afternoon newspa-

Later, an extra edition would fill in more details. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another way times have changed: afternoon newspapers. You could do a lot with afternoon deadlines â&#x20AC;&#x201C; get the west coast hockey results into the paper, as well as the overnight reviews of concerts, the morning developments at city council and, when necessary, an assassination.

events at the World Trade Center in New York, and as recently as this month, a Toronto newspaper, The Sun, put out an extra to recount the latest developments in the Rob Ford saga. On such occasions, newspapers remember how important they are to people and go to extra lengths to put the information out. But by now, most readers are accustomed to going on line, often on newspaper websites. Times have changed. It would be nice if afternoon newspapers were around to record them. What we in the newspaper biz were told back in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;80s was that people were demanding a newspaper on their kitchen table in the morning. What we were also told, perhaps more significantly, was that advertisers wanted their ads on those kitchen tables all day, instead of just from late afternoon on. So all of the major papers in the country, and on the continent, went morning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s intriguing to speculate about what might have happened if they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done so. With those early deadlines, often before midnight, the newspapers could get to the breakfast table easily, but there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as much in them. Readers had to go elsewhere to find out who won some baseball and hockey games from the previous night. If they saw reviews of concerts, the reviews were written

about the first half. If there was a political development, a crime or an accident in the morning, they would read about it the next morning. That helped radio news and television news and, when it came along, that helped the Internet. The daily newspaper was becoming less of a factor in peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daily lives and less central to them when a major event occurred. Obviously there are still things a newspaper can do, such as provide exhaustive coverage, in-depth reporting and context. On Nov. 22, 1963, people looked to the daily newspaper for it. Today they look elsewhere.

2014 calendar features glimpses of Goulbourn Special to the News

News - You can enjoy Goulbourn-inspired scenes all through the year 2014 without travelling anywhere at all. You will be able to enjoy these coloured photos of Goulbourn heritage buildings, artefacts, landscapes and events thanks to photographs featured in a 2014 calendar prepared by the Goulbourn Museum. As you go through the months of the new year, each month you will be able to enjoy one of these photographs hanging right there on your wall. Photographed by Goulbourn Museum staff, the calendar captures noteworthy and family Goulbourn-related scenes. Many of the photos are accompanied by a nugget of local history lore such as the tale of how the Jock River got its name. The front cover of the calendar boasts a photograph of Richmond native Clarence Evelyn Rielly and his Long Service and Good Conduct medals which the Goulbourn Museum pur-

chased last August thanks to support and donations from the community. These 2014 calendars are available at $10 each from the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift shop and also at the Ashton General Store. All proceeds from the sale of these calendars will go towards improving the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibitions and programs as well as caring for the Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection and its efforts to document and publicize the history of the former Goulbourn township. The Goulbourn Museum, founded in 1990, is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners just south of Stittsville. A registered charity, it is dedicated to collecting, preserving, displaying and interpreting local artefacts and to disseminating the material and oral histories of the Goulbourn community. For more information about the Goulbourn Museum or about these 2014 calendars, please visit the website www.goulbournmuseum.ca or call 613-831-2393.

The Goulbourn Male Chorus under the direction of Robert Dueck will be presenting its Christmas concert entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome Christmasâ&#x20AC;? on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

2013 Order of Ottawa award goes to Scott Heggart John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stittsville is now home to an Order of Ottawa award recipient. Scott Heggart of Stittsville is one of 15 recipients of the 2013 Order of Ottawa awards which were announced by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson on Thursday, Nov. 14. These 2013 Order of Ottawa inductees will be honoured at a city hall ceremony this week. This is the first Order of Ottawa honour to be bestowed on a resident of Stittsville. Scott Heggart, who is a University of Ottawa Communications student, has dedicated his recent years to telling his story about coming out as a homeosexual athlete and youth in an effort to make a difference, offer support and spread awareness for unsupported youth members of the community. It was after struggling with his own sexual identity through his pre-teen and teenage years and fearing being ostracized into giving up playing sports which were a huge part of his life that Scott decided that he needed to share the support that he had received from his

teammates, family and friends with others in the community. He has done this via YouTube videos and also by participating in radio stationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Majic 100â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anti-bullying program â&#x20AC;&#x153;No More Bulliesâ&#x20AC;? which involves school visits where he shares his life story with the students. By the time that Scott was in grade seven, he realized that he was attracted to boys rather than girls. He struggled with these feelings and even considered suicide. He eventually shared his feelings with his older sister and then with his brothers and ultimately with his parents, all of whom offered him total support and love. As a 15 year old, Scott began recording videos and posting them on YouTube, telling his â&#x20AC;&#x153;coming outâ&#x20AC;? story. He resolved to post one video each day of 2009. In these videos, he interviewed his parents and siblings, he shared his anxieties about coming out at school and to his sports teammates and he spoke out about myths about homosexuality. After this year-long series of daily videos, Scott has only added a few new videos in

subsequent years, reacting to news stories or relating major events in his life such as when he decided to come out to his school mates by indicating on his Facebook page that he was in a relationship with a boyfriend. Although he was worried about what the reaction to this revelation might be, they were groundless as his friends, teammates and schoolmates were overwhelming supportive. Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s videos on YouTube, totaling nearly 400, have been viewed more than half a million times. Spreading awareness and communication about homosexuality and its challenges is one result of these videos. But Scott really did them to allow himself to reflect on his own issues and to articulate his own positions. Scott played sports including football, basketball, softball and hockey and was exposed to the homophobic machismo that pervades the locker room. While he came out to his family at the age of 15, it took two more years before he came out to his teammates on his Lanark-Carleton Minor Hockey League team. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he posted his R0012419213

Scott Heggart loves sports relationship with a boyfriend on his Facebook page, resulting in overwhelming support from his teammates, some of whom even apologized for their previous locker room slurs against homesexuals. The Order of Ottawa civic award was established in 2012 as a way of honouring residents for their contributions to the community and city. The Order of Ottawa recognizes exceptional residents who have made a significant contribution in a professional or other capacity to city life including the arts and culture,

business, community service, education, public service, labour, communications, media, science, sports, entertainment or other fields of endeavour. The recipients, nominated by individual citizens in the community, are selected by a committee comprised of the mayor, city clerk and solicitor, chief of police, chief of protocol, city archivist and the chief executive officer of library services. Other recipients of the 2013 Order of Ottawa award are Dr. Caroline Andrew, a University of Ottawa professor; Rob Ashe, a former high

tech executive and treasurer for the YMCA-YWCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $15 million fundraising campaign in the Ottawa area; Dr. Barry Bruce, a Carp doctor and community volunteer; Janet Bruce after whom Bruce House for people living with HIV/AIDS was named; Pierre de Blois, a community advocate for the francophone community; Roberta Della-Picca who has worked on issues facing aboriginals especially aboriginal women; Raymond Desjardins, a community activities who is chair of the Perley and Rideau Veterans Health Centre Foundation Board; Patrick Dion who is a recognized voice for mental health and wellness; Antonello Diteodoro, better known as Tony D., is an award winning musician and songwriter; Ginette Gratton, a Rogers TV host who has promoted Francophone issues in Ottawa; Peter Honeywell, a longstanding community volunteer and activist with community organizations; Mark Monahan, founder of the Ottawa Bluesfest; Carl Nicholson, an advocate of immigrant services; and Pinchas Zukerman, music director of the National Arts Centre Orchestra of Ottawa.

Musical ‘CATS’ at Sacred Heart High School The musical was composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber based on “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats,” a book of verse written by T.S. Eliot in 1939. T. S. Eliot was an essayist, publisher, playwright, literary and social critic and one of the twentieth century’s major poets, having been born in 1914 and dying in 1965.

Fight goes on over landfill expansion John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

SUBMITTED

Food Bank Christmas Tree at Brown’s YIG At the launch of the Angel Christmas Tree for the Stittsville Food Bank at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville on Wednesday, Nov. 13 are, from left, front row, kneeling, Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri, Margo Lahey, Cathy Mills, Doug Ward and Ryan Clarke; and, from left, back row, standing, David Fairbrother, Wayne Beaten, JoAnne Ilkiw, Pat Monk, Zoe Crouch, Jeremy Gregson (behind), Robin Derrick, Barbara Cordukes and Brown’s YIG owner Todd Brown.

News - It’s not over till it’s over. Stittsville Village Association (SVA) immediate past president Marilyn Jenkins, who represents the SVA on the Coalition of Citizen Groups opposed to the expansion of the Carp Road landfill, made it clear at the SVA’s meeting on Thursday, Nov. 14 that the Coalition has not given up on its fight despite the recent provincial approval of the Environmental Assessment (EA) for a new landfill at the site and the city of Ottawa’s legal opinion that placed the odds at very low in fighting this EA approval through the courts. “This dump expansion is not a done deal until they start putting garbage on that land,” she said, noting that the Coalition will be having discussions with the Ontario Ministry of the Environment regarding how the EA could be viewed as meeting the concerns of the community. She said that the Coalition is exploring all avenues open to it, noting that the Richardson Corridor Association, one of the groups that is part of the Coalition, has retained the services of a lawyer regarding the issue. Ms. Jenkins noted that Oakville is not getting gas plants which were approved and even under construction and that North Gower is making headway in battling wind mills. She noted that no one wants to see expansion of the Carp Road landfill site, so these other scenarios may also play out in the landfill case as well. She noted that there is already groundwater contamination as a result of the now-closed landfill. “That dump is on the worst possible bed – fractured limestone,” she said. She noted that the Coalition has and remains prepared to discuss alternatives to a landfill at that site.

Remembering Betty Hill John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Betty Hill got things done. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what three who encountered the feisty ďŹ rst mayor of Goulbourn township during her mayoralty years all acknowledge in their memories of Betty Hill who died on Monday, Nov. 4 at the age of 76. Phil Sweetnam, who is the current president of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), had numerous dealings with mayor Betty Hill during her tenure from 1974 to 1982 as the Sweetnam family was looking after its landholding interests in the Fringewood North mobile park and in the Fringewood South community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Betty Hill was a strong ally who worked hard for her constituents when their issue was a cause she supported,â&#x20AC;? recalled Mr. Sweetnam, noting that the Sweetnam family had beneďŹ tted from mayor Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support when she presented a zoning bylaw pertaining to the Fringewood community for approval at her ďŹ rst Ottawa-Carleton regional council meeting as mayor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people tried to work with mayor Hill rather than risk her wrath or lack of support,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Sweetnam notes. He cites the example of the disposition of the Methodist Campgrounds lands in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. At last Augustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unveiling of an historical plaque to commemorate these Methodist Campgrounds in Stittsville, Jim Wallace, last president of the Stittsville Campgrounds Association, explained how he and

mayor Hill had worked out a compromise that allowed half of the lands to be developed for housing while the other half went to the municipality for recreation land. Mr. Wallace described mayor Hill as one who was a fair but tough negotiator in these deliberations. Indeed, Mr. Sweetnam himself notes that mayor Hill fought for many improvements in the Goulbourn community such as piped sewer and water services for Stittsville and through it all, he remembers her as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fair but tough negotiator.â&#x20AC;? He also praises her for standing by her commitments. If she gave you a commitment, she would be there supporting you, not matter what township staff said, Mr. Sweetnam says. Speaking about the late mayor Hill at the SVA meeting on Thursday, Nov. 14, Mr. Sweetnam reiterated that mayor Hill was â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough but fairâ&#x20AC;? in her dealings with people. He admitted that he was on her bad side at times and also on her good side at other times. But his praise for the late mayor is complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt she really moved this community along in terms of getting water and sewer here,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that the arrival of piped services in the Stittsville community really made a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we were fortunate to have Betty,â&#x20AC;? he said, noting that he is grateful that a person of her stature served in public life in Goulbourn. Clarence Maheral, who lost a close election to Betty Hill to

Betty Hill become the ďŹ rst mayor of the new township of Goulbourn in 1974, gives mayor Hill credit for what she was able to do as mayor. He says that Betty Hill changed politics in both Richmond and Goulbourn which before her had tended to be lackadaisical in some ways in his view. He said that Betty Hill had her own ideas about things and she set about to accomplish them. He admits that Betty did accomplish some good things for Goulbourn in her years as mayor. It was a four-person race in the election for mayor of the new township of Goulbourn in 1974, a municipality formed by the amalgamation of the former rural township of Goulbourn with the villages of Stittsville and Richmond. Those in the race were Mr. Maheral of Glen Cairn, the last reeve of rural

This is the face of change.

Goulbourn township, Betty Hill, who was the last reeve of the village of Richmond, Sally Beaton, a rural Goulbourn township councillor from Glen Cairn, and Don Chapman of Richmond. It was a close election with Mr. Maheral at one point on election night having a pretty fair lead but a last-minute burst of polling support from Richmond saw Betty Hill emerge as the winner and begin her nine year run as mayor of the new township of Goulbourn. He admits that while he and Betty got along decently, they could and did have their arguments. One trait of Bettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that he remembers was how she frequently used to arrive late at meetings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was always late,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Maheral says, by ďŹ ve or ten minutes and when she arrived, she would have an armful of papers and material that she would bang down on a table or desk. Another who knew Betty Hill as a doer and straight shooter was former March township reeve Marianne Wilkinson who is now a city of Ottawa councillor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Betty was feisty, straightforward, always stood up for her constituents, was fair in her dealings but never afraid to take on an issue,â&#x20AC;? Ms. Wilkinson writes in a letter about Betty. She also writes about how she and Betty saved the proposal to create the city of Kanata from the township of March and parts of the township of Nepean and the township of Goulbourn.

2013 is turning out to be a year where issues under Provincial jurisdiction are coming up time and time again. These issues give the City of Ottawa a minimal role in the ďŹ nal approval, whether it is the approval of a landďŹ ll expansion on Carp Road or the proposal of expanding gaming within City limits. One of these issues, renewable energy projects, is not new to our area and stems from the approval of the Green Energy Act which gives municipalities no role in the approval of solar projects or wind power projects. Nowhere in Ottawa is this issue more prevalent than in North Gower. In 2008, a wind developer came forward with an application for ten industrial wind turbines to be installed in between North Gower and Richmond. It is important to note that this project has never been approved and there has not been an opportunity for them to apply since 2010, but with a new application process being developed and the continuing interest of this wind developer, the potential does still remain. The challenge for municipalities for these applications is that they do not have the ability to weigh in on the topic, conduct a meaningful consultation process or make any substantive recommendations on applications. This has led to over 70 municipalities across Ontario declaring them as Not a Willing Host to a wind power project. Residents of North Gower and the surrounding area recently came together and submitted a petition to the City of Ottawa that included 1228 names declaring North Gower as Not a Willing Host. Municipalities have the lead when it comes to land use planning and when legislation comes forward, such as the Green Energy Act, which removes our ability to make land use decisions, it is a signiďŹ cant problem. This led to the unanimous approval of a motion I put forward at Council last week that asks the Province of Ontario to make the necessary legislation and/or regulatory changes to provide municipalities with a substantive and meaningful role in siting wind power projects. City Council, in a 24-0 vote, sent a strong message to the Province that we should have a real voice in approving these projects. This is not just a motion for North Gower or Ottawa but for every municipality in Ontario. In a meeting I had with Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli last week, he indicated that the Province is listening and will be undertaking a change to the approvals process in order to reďŹ&#x201A;ect what municipalities have been asking for. My personal feelings about the Green Energy Act aside, the point we are trying to make is that these projects may have an appropriate place somewhere in Ottawa in a more remote location, but not right next to a community that could very well hinder that communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to grow in the future.

Notice of Completion Foster Stormwater Management Facility Class Environmental Assessment Report Available for Review The City of Ottawa has completed a Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) study for the Foster Stormwater Management Facility. This study serves to address signiﬁcant development and urbanization in the South Nepean Urban Area area by constructing a replacement for the existing Foster Stormwater Management Facility. The study follows recommendations from previously completed studies that addressed both Master Servicing and Subwatershed Planning for the area.

Editor: When Betty Hill passed away on Monday, Nov. 4, we lost one of the most interesting and effective local municipal leaders. I first knew Betty nearly 50 years ago through her newspaper column, “The Richmond Rooster.” Betty, always a straight shooter, was scathing in her analysis about what was happening in her village of Richmond which was then a separate municipality. Urged to run herself, she entered municipal politics, first in Richmond, then in Goulbourn Township after Richmond, Stittsville and Goulbourn township were amalgamated into a single municipality, and later as an Ottawa-Carleton Regional Councillor. My favourite memory of Betty involves the creation of the City of Kanata. Forming a western city was accepted to be a good thing by all involved but when the provincial bill went to cabinet for approval, the cabinet rejected it. I was the reeve of March Township and received a phone call at midnight on a June Wednesday to tell me that the bill had been rejected. I confirmed it first thing the next morning and found out why – the bill, as well as approving the western city, had included adding Rockcliffe Park and Vanier to the City of Ottawa. Those last two items were controversial and so the whole bill was dropped. The government of Premier Bill Davis was a minority government and there was only a week left before the government closed for the summer. Betty was the mayor of Goulbourn at the time and loved the rural part of her municipality but wanted to move the urban part (Glen Cairn

Andy Haydon, then reeve of Nepean, was okay with Bridlewood joining the new city but when I called him, he said nothing would happen as there wasn’t time to get back to cabinet before the summer recess. I invited him to the meeting but he said he was off to the cottage for the week. So “you girls look after it,” he said. That evening the March and Goulbourn councils met but no one came from Nepean. Betty and I put together a game plan. If we got all three political party leaders to agree, we could get the legislation passed. Betty, as always, went right to the point and didn’t waste a moment. We contacted each leader on Friday and by Monday each had agreed to support the legislation to create the new city which was named Kanata in a plebiscite at the first election. The legislation passed on Tuesday, had Royal Assent on Wednesday and on Friday Andy came back from the cottage! Betty was feisty, straightforward, always stood up for her constituents, was fair in her dealings but never afraid to take on an issue. In a time when few women were in political office, she showed the way for many who followed. Thank you, Betty, for all you did for so many.

Betty Hill was first mayor of Goulbourn Continued from page 21

Current city of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt first became aware of Betty Hill when she ran for election as the regional councillor for the western ward of the city in the 1994 municipal election, defeating Roly Armitage of West Carleton by just 72 votes. This was the first time that regional councillors were elected. The ward included the townships of West Carleton, Goulbourn and Rideau. She went on to serve another term as regional council before it was abolished when the new city of Ottawa was created in 2001. The year 1994 was a significant year for Betty Hill, not only because of her election as a regional councillor but also because it was the year that she was called to the Bar as a lawyer. She had been studying to become a lawyer for the previous five years. Councillor Moffatt visited Betty Hill during the 2006 municipal election campaign when he ran unsuccessfully for council. He recalls be-

ing the object of Betty Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous wrath during a 2010 municipal election meeting. She was upset because she did not feel that he was present enough in community affairs after losing in the 2006 election. Betty Hill first entered politics in the early 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when she ran for reeve of the village of Richmond. She had been writing a newspaper column called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Richmond Roosterâ&#x20AC;? and as a result of her criticism of the existing village council, she was challenged to run for office herself. She did and thus began a political career that spanned three decades. She became the first female reeve of the village of Richmond and, at the same time as things turned out, the last reeve of Richmond which had a municipal history going back to 1850. Early on in her term as reeve of Richmond, the Richmond arena, built in 1949, was declared unsafe and a new arena, the current Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena, was erected on the same site. After winning the first-ever election for mayor of the new township

of Goulbourn which was formed in 1974, she went on to three more electoral victories as mayor before losing in 1982 to the late Anton Wytenburg. The new Goulbourn municipal building at Stanleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corners was built and opened in 1975. She was also involved in the negotiations which led to the creation of the city of Kanata in 1978, with the Glen Cairn and Hazeldean North areas of Goulbourn becoming part of the new city (see councillor Wilkinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter detailing the last minute efforts which led to this municipal change). Piped sewer and water services were extended to Stittsville in the late 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s during her tenure as mayor. In addition, Goulbourn, including Stittsville, Richmond and Munster, got its first OC Transpo commuter bus service when she was mayor. She helped create the Goulbourn Non-Profit Housing Corporation which went on to build, first, the Carleton Apartments in Stittsville and then the Goodwood Apartments in Richmond. The Richmond branch of the

Goulbourn Township Public Library opened in 1976 when she was mayor. Previously Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s library had been located in shared space at South Carleton High School. In the late 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Goulbourn township under Betty Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership began a program that would see all of Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets paved. This had not been the case up until then. The Iber Road Business Park got its start when she was mayor and she was mayor when the Amberwood Village adults-only community began in 1978. As mayor, Betty Hill also served on the Goulbourn Hydro Electric Commission which during her years on the Commission only provided hydro services to residents of the village of Richmond. It was not until 1997 that the Goulbourn Hydro Electric Commission extended its service area to all of Goulbourn township. It then became part of the new Hydro Ottawa with the creation of the new city of Ottawa in 2001. Betty Hill served as chair of the Goulbourn Hydro Electric Commission for all nine years of her tenure as

mayor of Goulbourn township. When she died on Monday, Nov. 4, 2013, she was residing in an extended care home in Ottawa to recuperate from hip surgery. Her Mass of Christian Funeral was held at St. Philip Catholic Church in Richmond on Tuesday, Nov. 12, with interment to take place in the spring. On Tuesday, Nov. 12, flags at the Goulbourn Town Hall (the former Goulbourn municipal building which was built during her first term as mayor of Goulbourn) were flown as half-mast from sunrise to sunset in honour of the late mayor Hill. She is survived by her husband Donald, her children Marjorie (Michael Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor), Patti (Bernie Fee), Donald (Karole) and Randy and five grandchildren. She is also survived by two greatgrandchildren as well as by her sister Tricia Meagher. She was predeceased by her parents and by her sister Jackie.

November 15, 2013 MAINTENANCE WORK EXTENDED AT GOULBOURN POOL The construction timeline has been extended for maintenance work and mould remediation for the swimming pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. The City of Ottawa advises residents that the pool is expected to reopen on June 28, 2014. The arenas, fitness rooms and community centre space remain open to the public. After a thorough investigation, it was determined that more work has to be completed to ensure the facility remains safe and in proper working order. The City of Ottawa apologizes to residents for any inconvenience caused by this extension. All aquatic programming and rentals are cancelled until the pool reopens. For participants registered in the swimming sessions scheduled to start in January, a credit for the full value of the lessons will automatically be returned to your City of Ottawa family account. The credit can be used to register in the next sessions of lessons, swimming lessons at another pool or applied to any recreation programming offered by the City of Ottawa. If a refund is preferred, please contact the facility to let us know.

Ottawa is the largest Ontario municipality that could be affected by the placement of wind farms, Moffatt said. Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli has said he is not in favour of municipalities having veto rights over wind energy projects. But the province has begun to make moves to allay local wind-farm concerns. In the past, Chiarelli has said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely for Prowind Canada would get approval for the North Gower wind farm without the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent. This summer, Chiarelli outlined a new policy that would require proponents of large wind-farms to â&#x20AC;&#x153;work directly withâ&#x20AC;? municipalities on where new turbines could be located. After meeting with the minister last week, Moffatt said Chiarelli indicated those new guidelines are coming in early 2014.

Street to be closed off with new subdivision Special to the News

News - Johnwoods Street from Alon Street north to Maple Grove Road in Stittsville will not be a roadway once a proposed residential development takes place on the east side of the road. The current plan calls for this section of Johnwoods Street from Alon

Street to Maple Grove Road to become the location for a multi-use pathway with grass. There will be no vehicular traffic on this section of the street. Unlike homes backing onto this section of Johnwoods Street that currently have a solid wood fence separating their backyards from the

street, the new homes on the east side of this section of Johnwoods Street that will also back onto the street will have just a chain link fence separating their backyards from the street i.e. future pathway. This proposed residential development on the east side of Johnwoods Street between Joseph Circle and

Maple Grove Road is being proposed as the site for 202 single family homes as well as 81 townhomes. The townhomes are all being proposed for the area at the corner of Johnwoods Street and Maple Grove Road. The proposed development also contains a park and a possible school site.

This development was first proposed by Mattamy Homes back in 2007 but problems about the Carp River flood plain engineering and with sewage pumping station capacity result in the proposal being put on the shelf until these problems were settled. The proposal is now back.

Books provide inspiration for fibre art in exhibit John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s an art exhibit drawing its inspiration from the first sentence of a book. So what better place to be displayed than at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. That’s why the exhibition of creative art using the medium of fibre, done by members of the Out Of The Box Fibre Artists group, is currently on display at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery and will continue to be until the end of November. With the theme “First Lines,” each piece of art displayed depicts the first sentence or line from a book. It can be any interpretation of that sentence or line and any fibre art technique could be used. The only stipulation was that the art could have no side longer than 24 inches. And just what kinds of inspiration did these artists find in the first sentences or phrases in books? Well, Meredith Filshie turned to the novel by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton published in 1830 about Paul Clifford’s dual life as a criminal and a gentleman, using its famous opening phrase “It was a dark and stormy night – the rain fell in torrents - ….” For her piece called “Driving.” Artist Lynn Ruff turned to Ernest Hemmingway’s 1929 novel “A Fare-

well To Arms” and its first sentence “In the late summer of that year, we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains.” “A Farewell To Arms,” which was set in the Italian campaign of World War One, was Hemmingway’s first best seller. The book’s first line was the inspiration for Lynn Ruff’s piece called “An Italian Village Home.” But this exhibition by the Out Of The Box Fibre Artists could also be considered to be right at home at the library because several pieces in the exhibit, found in the display cabinet at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery, were books – yes, books. There is a handmade book with secret Belgian binding and also Anne Warburton’s handmade book in the Japanese stab stitch style as well as Marie Anzai’s stitched book with handmade papers and fibres. So this exhibition “First Lines” was truly a display of fibre art that fits in so well with being displayed in a library. A total of 17 members of the Out Of The Box Fibre Artists have displayed at least one apiece in the exhibition, displaying a wide range of styles, materials and techniques. This is the third time that the Out Of The Box Fibre Artists have held an exhibition of their artwork at the Stittsville library. Among the artists displaying work

in this “First Lines” exhibition are Frances Taylor, Meredith Filshie, Nancy Garrard, Helen Gordon, Marie Anzai, MaryAnne Toonders, Sharon Collins, Juanita Sauve, Lynn Ruff, Margaret Dunsmore, Patricia M. Gordon, Connie ten Bruggenkate, Diane Bowman, Doreen Meyer, Anne Warburton, Rita Rottman and Suzanne Caron-Richer. Out Of The Box Fibre Artists was founded in 1997 as a cooperative

association of artists who are passionate about creating innovative, thought-provoking works of art and promoting fibre art through exhibitions, education and professional development. Members include machine and hand embroiderers, art quilters, weavers, felters, doll makers, silk painters, dyers, mixed media and other fibre artists. The focus in Out Of The Box Fi-

bre Artists meetings is on sharing art techniques, design ideas, artistic processes and inspiration. Members are drawn together by a love of texture, colour and creation in an atmosphere of mutual support and camaraderie. The group meets on the third Monday of the month. For more information about the Out Of The Box Fibre Artists group, check out the website www.out-ofthe-box.org.

Tenor Rory McGlynn to sing at concert John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Tenor Rory McGlynn will be one of the guest performers at the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus “A Garland of Carols” Christmas concert on Sunday, Dec. 1. He will sing “The Birthday of a King” in the first half of the concert and then will return to sing “O Holy Night” near the end of the concert. He will also perform with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus in “Gesu Bambino,” a song that has sections that require a soloist to sing and other sections where a chorus sings along with the soloist. “The Birthday of a King” is a longtime Christmas favourite. It was composed in 1890 by William H. Neidlinger, an American who played the organ and then became a renowned singing teacher before becoming interested in education and establishing a school for handicapped children in New Jersey. “O Holy Night,” the other solo being sung in the concert by Rory McGlynn, is a well-known Christmas carol that dates back to 1847 when it was composed by Adolphe Adam. The song reflects the story of the birth of Jesus and of humanity’s redemption. Over the years, “O Holy Night” has been sung by numerous singing notables such as Bing Crosby, Celine Dion, Andy Williams, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Rory McGlynn is a notable singer in his own right. A student of music raised in the Ottawa area, he studied classical voice in both Ottawa and Toronto before becoming a professional tenor. He sang with such companies as Opera York, Opera in Concert, Opera Jeunesse and the Toronto Operetta Theatre. He has sung around the world including in China, the United States, Ireland, England, Belgium and, of course, Canada. He is now the artistic director and co-founder of The Capital City Opera which is the city’s newest opera company. It is dedicated to hiring young artists to sing full

Audience participation songs in the program will include “Ding, Dong, Merrily on High,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” “Winter Wonderland,” “Deck the Halls,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” and “All on a Silent Night.” These songs, plus all of the others ones being performed by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the guest musicians, will be sure to get your Christmas spirit flowing. You will be leaving the church humming and singing Christmas tunes. It’s a feeling that you won’t want to

miss, so plan to attend this “A Garland of Carols” concert and make sure that your December this year is one filled with a feeling of Christmas from beginning to end. This “A Garland of Carols” Christmas concert presented by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will take place on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 3 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is the music director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus while Bonnie MacDiarmid is the accompanist. Tickets at $15 per adult are available now at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville as well as at Domenic’s Music Store on Hazeldean Road in Kanata. There will be a limited number of free admission tickets for children aged 12 and under.

Proposed retail/office complex at Iber/Hazeldean intersection John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The southwest corner of Iber Road and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville is being proposed as the site for a mixed retail and office development. The development would wrap around a parcel of land at the very corner which has and remains the property of Esso and a possible site for a gas bar in the future. The proposed development would see three one-storey retail buildings fronting on Hazeldean Road. The Iber Road frontage of the L-shaped property is being proposed for five buildings: a pair of two-storey office buildings with some possible retail as well while the interior or western part of this Iber Road site would see three one-storey retail buildings.

Zoning amendments are required to allow such a development on this site. The new zoning would recognize the commercial function of Hazeldean Road as well as the business park nature of Iber Road. Permitted uses under the new zoning would include retail and service commercial uses, offices, residential and institutional uses. David Jenkins, the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) director who handles planning issues, told those at the SVA’s November meeting on Thursday, Nov. 14 that this proposal is the first new commercial area being proposed on the south side of the four-lane Hazeldean Road. He said that he sees no particular concerns about the proposal but feels that there should be a public meeting held in the community about the proposal.

Let’s ‘Fill the bus’ for the Food Bank Special to the News

News - It’s time to fill up the bus again. No, not with people but with food for the Stittsville Food Bank. An OC Transpo bus will be parked at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville on Saturday, Dec. 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to accept donations of non-perishable food items for the Stittsville Food Bank.

This is part of the 28th annual Christmas Food Drive across the city of Ottawa, supporting local food banks. The Stittsville Food Bank is grateful for the support of OC Transpo, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and the city of Ottawa in this initiative. All donations will be most welcome and appreciated. Items most in need by the Stittsville Food Bank at present are toiletries, hot choco-

late, juice, coffee, tea, canned stew and chili, canned vegetables and fruit, school snacks, crackers including soda crackers, side dishes such as rice, potatoes and noodles and pudding, apple sauce and fruit cups. These and any other donated items can be dropped off throughout the day on Saturday, Dec. 7 Just look for the OC Transpo bus parked at Brown’s YIG and help “Fill The Bus.”

tive, Glen McDonald pointed out that the development proposal mainly consists of building on low lying wet land where there is standing water for most of the year. He said that the proposal includes some what he termed “extraordinary measures” to prepare the land for development such as pre-draining the site with ditches to lower the ground water table, to sink wells to lower the lower table and to ensure that foundations for the new homes are no more than a metre below the existing ground level. He said that there is going to be so much water taken from the site that the developer is going to need a provincial government permit for taking over 50,000 litres of water per day from the ground. Mr. McDonald said that all of this speaks to the fact that the site is very wet year round and he questioned whether the

site is suitable for its intended use as required by the Planning Act. He also questioned how this development is to fit in with the existing community when a ten foot high retaining wall will have to be built at the end of Porter Street to account for the grade differential. He also questioned the loss of water storage space that will be caused by this proposed development. Keldine FitzGerald lamented the traffic “nightmare” at rush hour times which will be caused by this development with its projected 225 cars. She said that the site should be kept as greenspace and linked to the adjacent Urban Natural Feature area already owned by the city with boardwalks so that it could be a park for people. She also noted that the proposed development site has a number of trees that are over 100 years old.

News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) has gone on record as supporting residents in the Elm Crescent/ Porter Street/Fernbank Road area who are opposed to a proposed development on a vacant site in that area of Stittsville.

Football memorabilia at Warriors’ silent auction Special to the News

Sports - Football memorabilia signed by some of the greats in Ottawa Rough Rider history such as Russ Jackson, Tony Gabriel and Gerry Organ will be part of this year’s silent auction at the Bell Warriors Football Club’s year-end banquets in January. It was at the recent launch for the new Ottawa Canadian Football League team the Ottawa RedBlacks that Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart arranged for some sports memorabilia signed by former Ottawa Rough Riders Russ Jackson, Gerry Organ, Tony Gabriel, Rick Sowieta, Ken Evraire, Darren Joseph and Miles Gorrell as well as by RedBlacks owner Jeff Hunt and general manager Marcel Desjardins. The presence of this football memorabilia including signed footballs and helmets will be a highlight of the silent auction held in conjunction with the Club’s windup banquets but Club president Paul Stewart is still hoping for lots more donations for the silent auction. These donations are starting to roll in but even more would be great. That’s because this silent auction is part of the Bell Warriors fundraising that is meant to keep player fees down so that all youth can have the opportunity to play minor football.

Player fees cover less than half of the annual budget of the Bell Warriors. Set at $350, these player fees are considered affordable to allow youth to play football. The Bell Warriors provides all of the necessary equipment to play. Last year the silent auction at the windup banquet raised over $4,000 and the Club is hoping that this year’s silent auction, especially with its memorabilia signed by some iconic and legendary Ottawa Rough Riders, will raise even more. That’s why every donated item for the silent auction is important and much appreciated. All of the proceeds from the silent auction will be going towards the purchase of new football equipment. If you have a donation that you would like to make to the silent auction, please contact Bell Warriors president Paul Stewart at president@ bellwarriors.ca. The silent auction will be taking place at the Bell Warriors team banquets wrapping up the 2013 season on Saturday, Jan. 11 at the Cedarhill Golf and Country Club. The Bell Warriors Football Club has been offering football programs for youth aged 8 to 16 years in the communities of Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Bells Corners, Bayshore and Britannia since 1955.

Stittsville Royals lose twice John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - The visiting Renfrew Timberwolves skated away with a 6-2 victory over the hometown Stittsville Royals in an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. The Royals fell behind 3-1 after the first period and gave up the only two goals of the second period to be looking at a 5-1 deficit going into the third period. The two teams each scored once in the final period, with the Timberwolves leaving with a 6-2 victory. Renfrew peppered the Stittsville goal with 43 shots in the game while the Royals managed only 22 shots on the Renfrew net. The Royals goaltending duties were split between starter Patrick Kealey and his replacement Zach Mills. Kealey allowed four goals on 29 shots while Mills allowed two goals on 14 shots. Jordan Cale and Mitch Kerwin scored for the Royals in this game. Assists went to Jeremy Nichols, Kevin Groulx, Joey Laird and Tanner Knight. This loss to Renfrew last Sunday was the second loss for the Royals over the weekend. Last Friday night, the Royals travelled to Shawville to take on the hometown Shawville Pontiacs but came home on the short end of an 8-5

score. Shawville struck for four goals in the opening period, including three straight within the first nine minutes, to take a lead that the home team would never relinquish. It was 4-2 for Shawville after one period and 6-2 for the Pontiacs after the second period. Stittsville tallied three times in the third period but it was too little, too late as Shawville ended up winning by an 8-5 score. Shawville had 35 shots at the Stittsville net while the Royals had 29 shots at the Shawville goal. Patrick Kealey played the whole game in nets for the Royals. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Kyle Killeen with two goals and Kevin Groulx, Joey Laird and Talmadge Farnes, all with one goal apiece. Royals players to earn assists in this game were Eric Malloy with three, Kevin Groulx with two, and Matt Veaudry, Kyle Killeen, Talmadge Farnes, Brendan Moloney and Jake Oliver, all with one apiece. The Stittsville Royals are now tied for third place in the six-team Valley Division of the Metro/Valley Conference with 15 points thanks to a record of seven wins, ten losses and one overtime loss. The Stittsville Royals host the visiting Ottawa Canadians this coming Sunday, Nov. 24 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville.

Friendship Club luncheon

Stittsville concert for a cappella group Special to the News

News - An evening of a cappella song will be happening in Stittsville on Tuesday, Dec. 10. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chapman Mills Sound Connectionâ&#x20AC;? will be in Stittsville to present a concert of upbeat familiar music interspersed with some Christmas songs and carols. In addition, this approximately 25 voice chorus will have two barbershop quartets as its guest artists that evening, namely the male barbershop quartet â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hallmarkâ&#x20AC;? and also the ladies barbershop quartet â&#x20AC;&#x153;4Gone Conclusion.â&#x20AC;? The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chapman Mills Sound Connectionâ&#x20AC;? is based in Barrhaven but does have a few Stittsville members. Under the direction of Tony Bove, the chorus will be performing on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. And what is an added plus to this evening of unforgettable a cappella barbershop music is that the price of admission is simply a nonperishable food item from everyone who attends. These food items collected as the price

of admission will be divided equally between the Stittsville and Barrhaven Food Banks. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chapman Mills Sound Connectionâ&#x20AC;? is a competitive singing group. Last year it came within one and a half points of earning the right to compete in the Internationals in Orlando, Florida. This was considered extraordinary for a chorus that is only three years old. This winter, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chapman Mills Sound Connectionâ&#x20AC;? will be competing against up to 16 other groups in the Area Competition of Harmony Inc. which is being held in Portland, Maine. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chapman Mills Sound Connectionâ&#x20AC;? is holding this concert â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Need A Little Christmasâ&#x20AC;? to become better known in the areas surrounding Barrhaven where it is already well known. The concert will also help the Stittsville and Barrhaven Food Banks. After the concert on Tuesday, Dec. 10, there will be refreshments served in the downstairs hall at the church. For more information about this concert, please contact Joan Palmer of Stittsville at 613-836-4126.

Carole Herbert and Helen James Special to the News

For the Richmond 4H Community Club, the year 2013 marked the presentation of a new award, the “Friends of 4H Award.” This award is to go annually to a member or members of the community whose dedication and support promotes the success of the 4H program. This year’s inaugural recipients of this “Friends of 4H Award” were Stittsville News reporter and photographer John Brummell who has been a supporter of the local 4H programs over JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND the years and Taylor Brophy, a 4H supporter who JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND is the Ottawa-Carleton Plowmen’s Association’s Queen of the Furrow this year.

Dec. 7th fundraiser Special to the News

News - A fundraiser is being held for a longtime Richmond resident who has been diagnosed with bladder cancer. The fundraiser is being held on Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Twin Elm Rugby Park near Richmond for Wendy Vaughn Ferguson, who is a mother, daughter, sister, neighbour

and longtime Richmond resident. The fundraiser is the idea of Doug and Pam Champagne of Richmond as Pam has been a friend of Wendy’s since kindergarten. The fundraiser is taking the form of a dinner followed by dance with live music provided by Doug and Pam Champagne with their special guests Jim Simpson and Tom Hill.

The turkey dinner will be served at 6 p.m. while the dance will begin at 7:30 p.m. Most of the dinner tickets, which must be purchased in advance at a cost of $17 each, are already sold but some dance tickets are still available at a cost of $10 per person. It is suggested that these dance tickets be purchased in advance to ensure getting one. There may be none left for sale at the door that evening. The event will also feature a silent

auction and rafﬂes. Many community businesses have donated items for the silent auction and for door prizes. Tickets are available at Mac’s in Richmond (Alison Featherston), at Tailor Tacks (Tammy) and from Debbie MacVicar or via email at do.it. for.wendy@outlook.com. The event has also drawn corporate support from the community, with Climate Works/Creekside Gardens, Kerr Karpentry, St. Paul’s Unit-

ed Church, King’s Your Independent Grocer and the Richmond Bakery all getting on board. Pam Champagne reminds everyone that such corporate support deserves community support and she suggests that community residents support these corporate sponsors when possible.

News - “Lovers Sunset,” an oil painting by Trudy Daley, captured the People’s Choice award for the “Indian Summer” exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery which wrapped up its two month run on Friday, Nov. 8. The People’s Choice award is given to the piece of artwork in the exhibition which has topped the People’s Choice balloting which provides an opportunity for those viewing an owaa exhibition to indicate which piece of artwork was a personal favourite. “Lovers Sunset” depicted a pair of figures in silhouette on a beach with the sun setting over the water. This painting topped the People’s Choice voting for the “Indian Summer” exhibition. Second place in the balloting went to Michael Goguen for his intricate and intriguing oil on canvass called “Promenade.” This painting featured a sky of air ships, a giant archway, a turreted city in the background, pedestrians galore and a red sunset sky, all in one scene. Tied for third place in the balloting were four works: Joe Aragona’s “Mercury Blues,” another of his classic car photos showing an immaculately restored Mercury automobile from the past; Louise Barker’s “Good Pickings,” a

This People’s Choice balloting happens for every exhibition presented at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Ballots and a ballot box are situated on the display case at the gallery with viewers encouraged to submit a ballot in favour of a favourite work of art in the exhibit. The artists involved always look forward to the results of this People’s Choice balloting and any comments submitted on the ballots. It provides valuable feedback and input to the artists. Another People’s Choice balloting is now taking place for the current new exhibition entitled “Anticipating Winter” which is on display at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex from now through to Friday, Jan. 10, 2014. The works of art on display are also all on sale and one could be just that uniquely wonderful Christmas gift for that special person or friend in your life.

Poole Creek, Feedmill Creek mapping John Curry

News - In one case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an updating. In the other case, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brand new mapping. And in both cases, it has been done because of anticipated development pressure along both watercourses â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek, both of which rise in land west of Stittsville and flow through the village before emptying into the Carp Road in Kanata. Indeed, there is something like 26 possible development proposals expected along these two streams. This is why both Poole Creek and Feedmill Creek were done upfront in a five year partnership program involving the city of Ottawa, the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA), the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) and the South National Conservation Authority to update flood risk maps of watercourses in the city of Ottawa. Priority has been given to those streams where development pressures are expected. In the case of Poole Creek, this recent work has been a revision of its flood plain mapping as well as a revised regulatory limit which is the area where development is regulated and limited. In the flood plain itself, there is no development allowed. The new work has resulted in more detailed data being used, resulting in more accurate mapping. In the case of Feedmill Creek, this recent work will be resulting in flood plain mapping for the watercourse, something which has not been done to date. There is also regulatory mapping resulting from this recent work. This Feedmill Creek work has led to a recommendation that a significant area upstream

Braeside Home Furnishings

of highway 417, west of Huntmar Drive and north of Maple Grove Road has been identified as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spillâ&#x20AC;? area. A spill area is regulated with permission needed for development to occur there. This extensive â&#x20AC;&#x153;spillâ&#x20AC;? area will need some remedial work done, such as a berm built, to prevent the flooding which could occur on the land. While such flooding could be extensive, it also is quite shallow. Taking remedial efforts such as a berm to prevent this flooding would be effective and would lead to permission to allow development on the land. The modeling done for Feedmill Creek has taken this possible remedial work into consideration so that flows have been calculated as if the berm or other remedial work were already in place. This â&#x20AC;&#x153;spillâ&#x20AC;? area is where there has been a second, easterly branch of Feedmill Creek which only gets water in high water or flooding conditions. Poole Creek, which is a tributary of the Carp River, has its headwaters in the wetland area west of Stittsville. Its catchment area measures 17.29 square kilometers with its main channel being eight kilometers in length, from source to emptying into the Carp River. What is interesting about this new flood plain mapping for Poole Creek is that although different software was used in modeling the creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flow, the results ended up very similar to those developed in the Poole Creek studies related to development of the Kanata West lands. Approximately two thirds of the drainage area of Poole Creek involves urban lands while the remaining area is predominately the creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headwaters in the wetlands west of Stittsville. Feedmill Creek provides drainage to 11.77

square kilometers of land, about a third of which is and will be urban. The rest of the creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drainage area is rural, dominated by wetlands and quarries west of Stittsville. Since the Timbermere subdivision with its storm water management system is already in place, the most recent work has dealt with the area of the creek from the EcoWoods pond east of Carp Road through to the creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outlet at the Carp River. It should be noted that Feedmill Creek has a

cool water regime due to the continuous pumping of groundwater from existing quarries which finds its way into Feedmill Creek. The Mississippi Valley Conservation Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Board of Directors is expected to make a decision on this revised flood plain mapping for Poole Creek and this new flood plain mapping for Feedmill Creek near the end of this year or early in the new year. It will then go to the provincial government for its ultimate approval.

As you can see I am a kitten of 6 months old, a beautiful, brilliant calico baby... but already at this tender age had a lot to suffer. I was just dumped in Limerick forest far away from any food and shelter to die... Luckily some one found me and brought me to the sanctuary. Now I am getting fed, loved... all my needs are taken care of and I feel so good... started playing like a kitten should... give cuddles and I am happy... I only have one wish left... to have my own family, my own bed and my very own lap to enjoy. Would you be that caring person to share our lives together?

Wreath of waxed leaves brought joy to Mother

exactly what Mother had asked for. She had given us a breadbasket to bring them in and she told us over and over again to handle them very carefully, laying one on top of the other so they wouldn’t break. While Audrey and I were out in the yard picking through the leaves, which by that time in the fall were wet and soggy, Mother was in the kitchen melting the wax from the tops of the opened pickle and preserves jars on the Findlay Oval. She had spread out pages of the Renfrew Mercury on the bake table and Audrey and I were told to very, very carefully, lay out the leaves, making sure they were placed gently on a tea towel. Mother, as carefully as she would wipe a baby’s bottom, dabbed the leaves with a tea towel. She brought the pot over to the bake table and, picking up a leaf at a time by its stem, dipped it carefully into the melted wax. The leaf was then put onto yet another tea towel where Mother said anyone who touched it would do so at their own peril! Not a word was mentioned about the waxed leaves over supper. But Mother rushed us through ‘redding’ up the kitchen that night and had Audrey wipe the redcheckered oilcloth twice to make sure it was good and dry. She then carefully, making a circle around the sugar bowl and spoon holder, laid out the waxed leaves. She overlapped them and Audrey and I thought we had the cleverest mother in all of Renfrew

County. With the simple placing of waxed leaves, Mother had turned our plain old table into something grand. Father complained there was no place to put the coal oil lamp. Mother settled that by pulling down the Coleman lamp that hung over the table and was used only when we had company, as the fragile wicks cost a whole dime at Briscoe’s General Store. Of course any wax that was left over was put aside to set and then cut into blocks and again stored in the little honey pail to use when Mother again put down preserves and pickles. Audrey and I thought the leaf display was lovely and it stayed on the table for the whole week. Audrey said it was the steady throbbing heat of the Findlay Oval, Father said they had just died a natural death, but by the next Saturday, the leaves had started to curl and after Emerson dropped several spoons from the spoon holder, he said accidently, the leaves started to look the worst for wear. It was with great reluctance the next Saturday morning, what was left of the leaves was gathered up and tossed into the cook stove. Father said it was time. After all, that night it was our turn to host the Saturday night house party and the old pine table was needed for euchre. The waxed leaves was Mother’s way of trying desperately to bring a bit of cheer to our old log house.

What’s up at Richmond Legion? Wendy Ryan

Special to the News

News – The annual Seniors Christmas Dinner open to anyone 70 years of age and up living in the Richmond/Munster area is coming up at the Richmond Legion Hall on Sunday, Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. This is a full turkey dinner with all the trimmings that is free to attend for seniors although those attending are asked to bring a donation for the Richmond Food Bank. The Hall can seat only about 100 people for this event and tickets go fast. Anyone interested in attending must contact Hilda Moore at 613-838-2274 by Monday, Nov. 25 to reserve a place. There will be not only the great meal but lots of music, door prizes and fun. There is also a need for anyone who might want to help out at the dinner. This includes students looking for community service hours. If you would like to help out at this dinner, contact Jane Louks at 613-838-3244 to make the arrangements. The Ladies Auxiliary’s Tea and Sale was held on Sunday, Oct. 20 with warm and sunny weather outside. The penny table was a big hit. The door prizes went to three Ladies Auxiliary members – Joan Frost, Mavis Lewis and Marg Hogan. Thanks go to all of the Ladies Auxiliary members for all of their work baking for the bake table, supplying crafts for the craft table and working hard to prepare the lunch. Thanks also to the fellows who showed up the day before to set up the tables and chairs. And thanks as well to all those who attend. Thanks for your community support. The Richmond Legion’s poppy campaign kicked off back on Friday, Oct. 25 when Legion members began canvassing local businesses to sponsor the wreaths that were on

display at the cenotaph on Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. thank you to the following businesses for their support: After Harvest Furniture, Bakers Bean Village Café, Balmoral Insurance, Bayview Windows, Blanchard Landscape & Design, Bob & Lynn’s Service Centre, Boxall Heating, Car-O-Practor, Casa Di Zia Mia Restaurant, Cedarstone Homes, Chin Hon Restaurant, Christopher’s Meat Market, CIBC Richmond, Climate Works, Country Quilter, Cousin Vinny’s Pizza, Creekside Gardens, D.E. Kinkade Konstruction, Drummond’s Gas, Duffy’s Tavern, Eastern Float Glass, Hair Expectations, Kerr Karpentry, King’s Your Independent Grocer, LCBO Richmond, Dr. Donald Lindsay (chiropractor), Mac’s Milk Munster, Mac’s Milk/Subway Richmond, Milano Pizza, National Acrylic & Spa, Old Mill Furniture, Ottawa Valley Kitchens, Prospect Builders, QEL Systems, Dr. Rod and Dr. Lucy Rabb, Rabb Construction, Re/Max Realty, Richmond auto Care, Richmond Bakery, Richmond Café, Richmond Village Dental Clinic, Richmond Family Eye Care, Richmond Home Hardware, Richmond IDA Pharmarcy, Richmond Lodge, Royal Lepage/Cydney Green, Richmond Motor Sports, Richmond Nursery, Royals Restaurant, S&S Service Centre, Scotiabank Richmond, Seabrooke Heating, Silhouette Hair Salon, South Carleton Physiotherapy, Spotlight on Hair Studio, Sue’s Hair Advantage, Tailor Tacks, Tercon Heating, Tim Hortons, Tony’s Chip Wagon, Townhouse Video and Dr. Peter Zierisen. Thanks also to all those businesses which allowed the Legion to place poppy boxes on the counter in their retail spaces. The Richmond Legion’s door-to-door canvas was held on Saturday, Oct. 26 which was a very rainy and windy day. Due to a lower num-

ber of canvassers, seven routes had to be done on the following day. The canvas goes ahead rain or shine. Thanks go to those who did show up and also a big thank you goes to those who answered their doors that day and generously supported the Legion and this poppy blitz. The annual Remembrance dinner at the Richmond Legion on Saturday, Nov. 2 had Lt. Col. Sheila Chapman of 33 Service Battalion as the guest speaker. She talked about her service with the reserves. Take 5 Catering served a delicious meal at the event. The Remembrance ceremony in Munster on Sunday, Nov. 10 and the ceremony in Richmond on Monday, Nov. 11, Remembrance Day, had to contend with weather such as rain, flurries and a cold wind but everyone soldiered on. The Richmond volunteer firefighters and the 33 Service Battalion once again provided tents, chairs and blankets for the Richmond service. South Carleton High School provided the band for the music at the Richmond ceremony. Thanks go to everyone who took part in these services, who assisted with them in any way and who attended them. Unfortunately the sound system at Richmond Memorial Park acted up so that parts of the service could not be heard by everyone in the park. Apologies go to everyone for the sound system problem. This should be a thing of the past since a new sound system is being purchased thanks in part to a generous donation from a local resident. The annual open house at the Richmond Legion followed the Nov. 11 service, with the hot chili more than welcome after the wet and cold

at the ceremony. Thanks go to Nancy Booth and Sharon Murphy for all of their help with the wreath laying part of the service, helping to keep everyone organized. Thanks to everyone for all the hard work that goes into the planning, setting up, holding and putting everything away for the Nov. 11 service. St. Philip Catholic School held a Remembrance service of its own on Thursday, Nov. 7. At the service, they presented the Richmond Legion with a special mural painting that was made, featuring the hand prints of all of the students in the form of a giant poppy. It is a much appreciated painting. Thanks to all of the students and teachers for this gift to the Legion. Again this year the Richmond Legion is holding a Remembrance poster and literary contest. New this year will be a video section of the competition. Cash prizes will be awarded for ﬁrst, second and third place in the various categories in the contest. The entry deadline for the poster and literary contests was last Friday, Nov. 15 while the entry deadline for the video contest will be Tuesday, Dec. 31. The Richmond Legion’s website can be found at www.richmondlegion.ca . Coffee is served each weekday at 10 a.m. at the Legion Hall on Ottawa Street. Exercise classes are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. The card game “500” is played every Wednesday at 1 p.m. while euchre is played each Friday, also at 1 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to take part in any or all of these activities.
