The 120 minute long film was also screened at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival where re-

ports are that it proved to be hugely popular with the audiences. The film “Pride,� which has been distributed in the United Kingdom and France and also in a limited way in the United States, has provoked positive reviews. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes sums up the film from the reviews as follows: “Earnest without being didactic and uplifting without stooping to sentimentality, “Pride� is a joyous crowdpleaser that genuinely works.� “Pride� won the audience award “Port of Ghent� at the Flanders International Film Festival in Ghent in 2014 and also won the Audience Award at the Leiden International Film Festival in 2014.

Christmas Parade of Lights on Stittsville Main Street John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stittsville Main Street becomes transformed into a moving ribbon of Christmas lights, music and decorations this Saturday at 6 p.m. – it’s the annual Christmas Parade of Lights. Once again, hundreds are expected to line the curbs of Stittsville Main Street to witness the brightly-lit floats as they pass by in the parade. This year’s Christmas Parade of Lights is expected to be the biggest and best yet and that’s really saying something since these parades have always been one of the highlights of the Christmas season in Stittsville, drawing lots of “oohs and awhs” from onlookers. But this year’s parade promises to feature a number of new entrants plus the return of many of

the favourite participants from the past, so it should be quite a parade and something not to be missed. The parade will leave the Ottawa Carleton District School Board depot (across from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer) at 6 p.m. and proceed south on Stittsville Main Street, going past Village Square Park and ending up at Carleton Cathcart Street (where St. Thomas Anglican Church is). At Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street, there will be a public address system set up over which the identities of the various parade floats will be announced. Because of the parade, motorists are reminded that Stittsville Main Street will be closed to traffic from just before the 6 p.m. parade start to about 8 p.m. or until the parade has finished. Al-

ternate routes using West Ridge Drive or Shea Road/Iber Road are recommended for those travelling north/south in Stittsville during the time of the parade. Once again this year, Santa Claus will be the special guest in the parade, bringing up the rear as he rides in the bucket of an Ottawa Fire Service ladder truck. His “Ho-Ho-Ho’s” will be heard far and wide along the parade route as he greets everyone in his traditional jolly style. You should also remember that members of the Stittsville District Lions Club will be walking the parade route at parade time, collecting both non-perishable food items and also cash for the Stittsville Food Bank. So, bring along your food items and cash and make a donation to help the less fortunate in the community who are relying on the Food Bank to have a happy time at Christmas this year. Right after the parade, Santa will be returning to Village Square Park where more activities will be happening, culminating in the turning on of the Christmas lights in the trees at the park. This marks the official beginning of the Christmas season in the community. At Village Square Park following the parade, there will be cookies handed out thanks to the generosity of Farm Boy which is providing the

cookies. There will also be hot chocolate available and an old fashioned singalong will take place, led by the Military Wives Choir and the Ottawa Grace Baptist Church Choir. And then the Christmas lights in the trees will be switched on. This is always a awesome moment – one minute you are standing there in the lingering darkness. Then, following a countdown, the place is suddenly aglow with thousands of Christmas lights, twinkling in the trees. The magic of Christmas is happening! The Stittsville District Lions Club has a hand in making this happen as it is the Lions Club members who have spent time at Village Square Park, checking all of the Christmas bulbs and making sure that all of the Christmas lights are up and working and ready for being turned on at this lighting of the park ceremony. Volunteers from the community will be looking after the traffic barricades blocking access to Stittsville Main Street from the various side streets during the duration of the parade. Motorists are asked to please respect the efforts of these volunteers and obey their instructions. These volunteers are an important part of staging the Christmas Parade of Lights and without their efforts in blocking off Stittsville Main Street to traffic, the parade would not happen.

Museum getting short changed

M

any people across the city might have been a bit surprised to learn that as the result of a significant mould problem, the Canadian Museum of Science and Technology will receive an $80.5-million makeover. Surprised not because the museum doesn’t need the renovation, but because of the other opportunities the federal government appears to have passed on as a result. This announcement comes only months after the National Capital Commission called for proposals to fulfill its latest vision for LeBreton Flats, the much-neglected brownfield just west of downtown. Those plans called for “an anchor institution or an attraction� for the area, something around which the rest of LeBreton could be developed.

What better to serve as an anchor than a brand new, iconic science and tech museum? Sure the Canadian War Museum is already there, but wouldn’t that serve to make LeBreton even more of “an attraction�? Such an argument might be obvious to those of us who live in Ottawa, but perhaps that’s part of the problem. Mere residents of the capital have a vested interest in this city – it is our home and our community. Yet, by and large, those who hold sway over decisions affecting the capital, the members of the Conservative government, have shown little interest in investing significant sums of money here. The science and technology museum joins the likes of the portrait gallery in a long line of projects that have either been moved out of Ot-

tawa or given short shrift since 2006. These are things people living in Ottawa should be concerned about. Ottawa West-Nepean MP John Baird, who is responsible for the NCC, said he didn’t want to see Band-Aid solutions for fixing the museum, but also worried about taxpayers and “reasonable and responsible� conclusions. Is that to say that Canadians don’t deserve a capital they can be proud of? Perhaps Canadians do simply think of Ottawa as a hive of bureaucratic drones, and nothing worth paying much mind, but that would be an insult to proud Canadians. Ottawa, as capital of a G7 country, deserves iconic buildings. If the Conservatives aren’t willing to dream that way, perhaps Ottawans need to think hard before casting their ballots in the federal election next fall.

very cloud has a silver lining and there can even be something said in favour of a little mould. That would be the mould in the walls of the Canada Science and Technology Museum. It’s created an opportunity to do something positive with the museum. Unfortunately it appears that the opportunity is not being taken. The museum, shut down because of air contamination caused by the mould, is in the process of being refurbished. It was announced last week by the federal government that funding has been found to renovate and modernize the museum, the work to be completed in summer or fall of 2017. The problem is that the renovated

it is encouraging to see that the National Capital Commission has recently become more engaged with creating something – anything! – on the Flats, the fact remains that right now it contains the Canadian War Museum, a condo or two and a lot of empty space. Yet, as has been said so many times by so many people, the area could be great. The space is there, the river is there, the transit is there, the location is close to downtown and easily accessible from the suburbs. Would-be city planners have been drooling for decades over the possibilities. The riverside could be opened up for restaurants and cafÊs. Parkland could be retained.

And museums. There is no reason why Ottawa could not attempt a modest version of what Washington does with its Mall – a lengthy treed avenue right downtown that contains more than a dozen museums, including the Smithsonian, as well as national monuments. The area buzzes with tourists and residents, walking from one attraction to the next. It should not be beyond us to create such a space in Canada’s capital, a space where Canadians can become better acquainted with their country, where visitors can learn about it, where children can discover and marvel. Having several museums all in one area would also make it possible for restaurants and coffee shops to flourish, and the combination would create the lively LeBreton Flats for which Ottawans have been longing for half a century.

concert. Their happy faces when singing these songs show you that these are fun songs not only to sing but to hear as well. At the concert, one of these Calypso-beat songs will be sung in collaboration with a musician playing an oboe. That promises to be quite a treat! Robert Dueck, who normally directs the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, played the keyboard for this performance, as the group’s regular accompanist Eliana Kurilov was unavailable on this particular evening. The Ladies Chorus was directed for the tunes which it sang at this performance by one of its own members, Bev Armbruster. Although she is an experienced conductor, this was the first time that she had conducted the Ladies Chorus. Gary King, a member of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, was also in attendance, playing guitar accompaniment for the songs sung during the evening. This was not the full West Ottawa Ladies Chorus which performed at the Gaia Java coffee

shop last Friday. It was the members who were able to be there after the engagement came up at relatively short notice. It was the “Crumble Quartet” which had been booked to perform at this particular Friday music evening but a broken finger for one of the quartet’s members forced a performance postponement until the New Year. A quick request made by Gaia Java owner Paul Jay to Robert Dueck, director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, got things rolling and the Ladies Chorus was able to step in at the last minute and fill the shop with Christmas music. These Friday music evenings are held every Friday at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, starting at 7 p.m. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, Nov. 28, the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop will feature Rick Hayes and R. W. Haller with guitars, songs and stories.

News - The sounds of Christmas came to the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville last Friday thanks to the voices of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and, it must be said, the voices of the customers as well. That’s because much of the program at this Friday music evening involved audience participation as the Ladies Chorus distributed Christmas carol song sheets and then responded to audience requests for particular songs whose words were found on the sheets. Among the audience singalong tunes sung, all with a Christmas theme, JOHN CURRY/METROLAND were “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, Gary King plays the guitar as he accompanies the “What Child Is This?:, “Mary’s Little West Ottawa Ladies Chorus group which performed Boy Child,” “Here We Come a-Wasat the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee sailing,” “Away In A Manger,” “Jingle Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. Bell Rock,” “We Three Kings,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” “Frosty the Snowman,” “Let It Snow,” “A Marshmallow World,” and “O Holy Night.” This is enough Christmas caroling to get anyone’s Yuletide memories and thoughts running in high gear. But these singalong songs were only part of the music created at the Gaia Java shop on this particular Friday music evening. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus itself sang several songs interspersed among the singalong tunes. These included “A Glad Noel,” a song that the Chorus will be singing in its upcoming Christmas concert; a song telling the story of Jonathon and a bell with lyrics like “Noel, Noel, Jonathon Ring The Bell”; and “The Coventry Carol,” a 16th century song that is traditionally performed in England in the form of a lullaby; “Icy December.” A smaller eight-voice ensemble from the main 19-voice Ladies Chorus group which performed at this Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop entertained the audience JOHN CURRY/METROLAND with three Calypso-based Christmas West Ottawa Ladies Chorus director Robert Dueck, far right, is at the keyboard accompanying the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus group which tunes which will be sung as well at the performed at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening. upcoming Ladies Chorus Christmas

Ottawa & Area - According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common of these problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during a home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether. In most cases, you can make a

There is an important meeting taking place on Wednesday, December 3rd at Munster Elementary School in their gymnasium. This is a public consultation put on by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board on the subjects of New Early French Immersion Program Viability & Student Accommodation for 20152016. The following text is what was written in the OCDSB announcement for this meeting: Munster Elementary School is located in the Hamlet of Munster (7816 Bleeks Road) and currently offers a Regular English program to students residing in the western portion of the former Township of Goulbourn. The school’s enrolment has decreased significantly for the 2014-2015 school year and currently stands at 58 students. The Board is seeking community input regarding increasing the current low enrollment at Munster Elementary School with the introduction of a new Early French Immersion program and whether or not that option is viable. Action is required at the school for the 2015-2016 school year. Following the Public Consultation Meeting on December 3rd and a review of input received from the community, a recommendation report is expected to be brought forward to the January 20th 2015 meeting of the Board’s Committee of the Whole. The report would provide Trustees with information regarding the viability of introducing a new Early French Immersion program and a recommended course of action for the accommodation of Munster Elementary School students in September 2015. A final decision by Board is scheduled to take place in late January 2015. Detailed information and updates regarding the study can be found on the Board’s website (www.ocdsb.ca) by clicking on the Accommodation Reviews links and locating the ‘EFI at Munster’ webpage.

The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network® announce new partnership

By David Johnson At only four years of age, Ava has learned how to be strong in the face of adversity. Her parents, Trina and Sean Ryan, first noticed “something was wrong” only a few shorts months after Ava was born in June 2010. “She would arch her back and cry in pain,” recalls Trina, a Registered Nurse. “And she suffered from projectile vomiting after feeding.” Ava’s condition was diagnosed with an all-encompassing term, “failure to thrive”, based on the fact that she was not growing or gaining weight. That’s when this little girl’s association began with the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). Over the months that followed, as she struggled for life, Ava was diagnosed with Ketotic Hypoglycemia. Her condition paralleled severe diabetes, requiring regular intake of nutrients to avoid falling into a coma. “Ava has to very careful with what she eats and when,” says her mom, “but for the most part, she is a fun-loving four-year-old.” Trina and Sean credit the care and treatment received at CHEO as a critical element in Ava’s success at overcoming her condition. “The CHEO staff are so understanding and caring, they always make her smile,” says Trina. “It’s like they’re part of the family.” Trina has a lifelong relationship with CHEO. She spent many hours at the hospital as a youngster as her sister Shannon suffered from heart disease. Shannon died at four years of age, when Trina was seven. “For me CHEO was like a home. The staff was like family to me. They were my heroes for how they helped my sister and eased her suffering.” That early association led Trina to study nursing so that she could give back what she had received. She even worked at CHEO before moving on to nursing sick children through Saint Elizabeth Home Care in Ottawa. Now, thanks to The Brick Furniture, sick and injured children have a new supporter raising funds for equipment and research that help make medical miracles.

The Brick, Canada’s largest retailer of furniture, appliances, mattresses and electronics, and Children’s Miracle Network, are working together with a goal of ‘Helping to Improve the Lives of Children, Brick by Brick’. This community-minded partnership was launched Monday Nov. 17 at the Brick Ottawa West location, 565 West Hunt Club Rd. Store Manager Paul Falardeau welcomed representatives from the CHEO Foundation and Children’s Miracle Network, along with Ava and Trina Ryan. “The Brick is proud to be part of communities across Canada and has a strong tradition of giving to these communities. We care about our neighbours – especially the youngest generation. That’s why we’re partnering with Children’s Miracle Network,” said Brick Group President Jim Caldwell, in a prepared statement. “The Brick is introducing Brickley Bear to help raise funds for the organization. Brickley Bear stuffed animals made by Gund are available in The Brick’s 220 stores nationwide, and online. All proceeds from the sale of Brickley Bear go to support the local children’s hospital serving the community.” The Brick is also accepting donations to Children’s Miracle Network through the sale of Brickley Bear cut-outs to further support children’s hospitals. And the retailer will match ever dollar donated from Oct. 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015, up to a maximum of $100,000. “The Brick is a great Canadian retailer which has provided value to the homes of Canadians, it just makes sense to partner with this community-focused retailer,” said John Hartman, Chief Operating Officer with Canada’s Children’s Miracle Network. Both The Brick and Children’s Miracle Network believe in keeping funds in the region where they are raised. Funds raised in eastern Ontario and western Quebec will directly support CHEO in Ottawa. Ottawa Brick stores are third in the top 25 stores across Canada for raising funds, with more than $4,000 already raised. “We are proud to be part of the team,” said Paul Falardeau. “That’s what it’s all about – improving lives and making a difference in our community.”

Every day, nearly 5,000 children rely on the support of the Children’s Miracle Network member hospitals across Canada. The Network raises funds and awareness for 170 hospitals, 14 of which are in Canada. Local donations fund critical treatments and healthcare services, pediatric medical equipment and research. To raise more awareness, the Brick has also launched a national colouring contest for children under 12. One of six, 36-inch Brickley Bears will be given to winners in each of six regions, as selected by The Brick. Winners will be announced Dec. 15. The contest colouring page is available on The Brick flyer distributed Nov. 14, or can be downloaded online at www.brickleybear.com. It is also available from any Brick, United Furniture Warehouse or Brick Mattress store in a free Brickley Bear colouring book. Tax receipts are issued for donations of $20 or more. For more information, go to the Community page at www.thebrick.com.

The Children’s Miracle Network and Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) is getting a boost from The Brick furniture stores with a new partnership announced Nov. 17 in Ottawa. On hand to kick off the fundraising campaign were (left to right) Dave St. Aubin, Brick Hunt Club General Sales Manager, Len Hanes, Director of Communications for the CHEO Foundation, Trina and Ava Ryan, Brick Hunt Club Manager Paul Falardeau and Vaia Dimas, Development Officer for Children’s Miracle Network.

Here comes retirement for Vivien Daly John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A lot has changed for the Richmond Fair since 1970. As just one example, revenues have grown from the $17,000 range to today’s $450,000 level. But one thing that has not changed over these past 44 years is the presence of Vivien Daly as treasurer of the Agricultural Society. All that is now about to change as Vivien retires from the treasurer position at the end of this year after training her successor Janet Hawkins.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Vivien Daly is retiring after 44 years as treasurer of the Richmond Agricultural Society which organizes the annual Richmond Fair.

Life for young people on the street is tough. There is a direct link between being young and homeless – and criminal victimization. Youth often become homeless because they are victimized. Left to survive on the streets, homeless youth are more likely to be physically and sexually assaulted. Being homeless can interfere with relationships, education, employment, community involvement and other factors that can protect youth from becoming victims. In the face of adverse conditions, social exclusion and oppression, many young people who experience homelessness show tremendous resilience. This Speaker Series event will explore the issues with attention to local realities. Join us for this important discussion.

Crime Prevention Ottawa Speaker Series It’s Getting Cold Outside: Youth Homelessness and Victimization

A retirement party honouring Vivien Daly and hosted by the Richmond Agricultural Society is being held this coming Sunday, Nov. 30 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Richmond Curling Club on Perth Street in Richmond. Everyone is welcome to attend. It was back in 1970 that the thenCounty of Carleton Agricultural Society hired Vivien to be the Society’s secretary and treasurer, a joint position which she held through until 1987 when the positions were separated, with Vivien staying on as treasurer. Eleanor Morgan had been the Society’s secretary-treasurer but was stepping down. Dorothy Munro, then the Head Lady of the Fair, knew about Vivien’s abilities and experience in financial work and recommended Vivien for the position. After an interview with a couple of Fair Board members and with the approval of outgoing Fair president Bert Argue, Vivien was hired for the position. She started with the 1970 Fair which was the 126th annual Richmond Fair, with Gilbert Crawford as the president. “All I knew about fairs was a little bit about fair week,” she says about her knowledge of fairs at that time. The Metcalfe Fair was her home fair growing up which was the source of much of her limited knowledge. But, in addition, she knew how to keep financial records and books, having looked after the books for the business of her late husband Mancel who had died in 1968. When Vivien started in 1970, the Richmond Fair was a three-day fair, running from Thursday through Saturday. This was a particularly precarious circumstance since most people went to the Fair on the Saturday and if Saturday was rainy, as happened often with the Richmond Fair, then the Fair was a virtual washout that year. In 1975, the Richmond Fair became a four-day Fair with Sunday added to the schedule. It required a Goulbourn township bylaw to make this happen, although initially the Fair could not open in the morning. Eventually this changed as well, with Sunday becoming a full fair day. Having Sunday as a fair day gave the fair greater security because normally not both Saturday and Sunday would be rainy. This ensured at least one good weekend day for the Fair. Among the changes that have happened over the past 44 years when Vivien has been the treasurer of the Richmond Fair has been changes to the buildings on the grounds. The old Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena was torn down and replaced by the current arena in 1973. The Fair’s horse shows were held inside the old arena but with the new arena, this practice was discon-

tinued, with the arena becoming the home of the Fair’s beer garden and dances. Over the years the fairgrounds have also seen the demolition of some of the Fair’s old horse barns and its sheep/swine building. Replacements have included a new heavy horse show barn and a new light horse/ sheep barn. The former Agricultural Hall building was torn down in 1979 to make way for the new Richmond Curling Club facility. The Curling Club is now used at Fair time as the home for exhibitors, the Homecraft and Junior School exhibits and the quilt show. The Dining Hall, moved to the fairgrounds in the early 1950’s, remains in place on the fairgrounds, although the trees that surrounded it at one time are all gone. One change to the structures at the fairgrounds happened in 1973 when the grandstand burned down. Vivien remembers driving in along the Huntley Road and seeing the grandstand burning, wondering how it could have caught on fire. The grandstand was not rebuilt but instead was replaced by bleachers which could be moved around the fairgrounds. Vivien notes that many of the area’s best known entertainers have performed at the Richmond Fair over her years as treasurer, including Wayne Rostad, Ambush and Gail Gavan. Other well known performers such as Natalie MacMaster and the legendary Stonewall Jackson have also played the Richmond Fair. Other highlight events over the years have included the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride and an appearance by the Budweiser Clydesdale team. One memorable non-Fair event at the fairgrounds was the Bell Pioneers motor home gathering which filled the fairgrounds with motor homes and RV’s. Indeed, wiring was strung up around the fairgrounds to provide electricity to these visitors. The Agricultural Society was involved in serving breakfasts and a windup banquet for this event. Another highlight event at the Fair in the past was the holding of a Wintario draw at the Fair. Vivien believes that the Richmond Fair may have been the only Fair in the province where such a Wintario draw took place. It was in 1974 that the annual parade became part of the Richmond Fair. Vivien notes that the minutes outline a $400 budget for this initial parade. In 1975, Vivien got some help at Fair time in the person of Marilyn Davis who helped out with the work in the fair office during Fair week. Vivien notes that the Richmond Fair has grown over the years, improving and adding attractions. See VIVIEN DALY, page 13

Viven Daly hired as treasurer in 1970

Rotary International Film Series in 2015

She notes the quality of the livestock shows at the annual Richmond Fair as well as attractions like the Fair’s quilt show. The popular demolition derby began in 1990 and has remained a huge Friday night attraction at the Fair ever since. The initial demolition derbies were held in the light horse show ring located north of the curling club building. The derby was moved to its current location in the northwest area of the fairgrounds after a couple of years using the light horse show ring. Vivien does recall one particular year when a torrential downpour impacted the demolition derby. Vehicles were mired in muck and some even had to be dislodged thanks to a pair of oxen that happened to be on the grounds thanks to Sundance Smith. Tom Cavanagh was called in to deliver some gravel to rectify the situation. Upon seeing the situation, Tom ended up hauling in stone and other material, creating a new roadway. Tom has always been a great supporter of the Fair. When Vivien first began as secretary-treasurer in 1970, she worked out of her home except for the days around Fair time. During the Fair, she worked out of an office set up in the kitchen area of the old curling club building. There she was, set up beside a fridge and stove, keep-

ing the Fair organized. The Fair office then was relocated to a former portable classroom attached to the Dining Hall and then later was relocated again to its current location at the front of the old curling club building. Vivien admits that she will miss being treasurer of the Fair but she is happy that she is stepping aside while she is still healthy and active. She admits that while she will miss her Fair work, she says that she can find lots of things to do to occupy her time. Vivien points out that the Richmond Fair would not happen without the efforts of hundreds of people who volunteer each year. This volunteer involvement plus the great support from the community in terms of donations are what enables the Fair to keep operating year after year in her view. “It’s a community effort,” Vivien says, noting that it is by far the biggest community event in Richmond with something there for everyone – churches with the church meals, concession people with their exhibits and booths, the flower and vegetable show for gardeners, the livestock shows for farmers, the midway for those seeking fun, and so much more. “Fairs are unique in what they have to offer,” Vivien says, noting their appeal which has even spread to her own family.

JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

Vivien Daly, who is retiring after 44 years as treasurer of the Richmond Agricultural Society, enjoys herself at a recent church supper in Stittsville.

She says that her daughter Sandra Wytenburg, who is currently involved with the 4H program at the Fair, has probably never missed a Richmond Fair since she was very young. Two of Vivien’s grandsons are Junior Directors with the Agricultural Society and involved with the Fair. But this family involvement is not unusual – the Richmond Fair has become a part of the life of many area families over the years. While Vivien’s years with the Agricultural Society are filled with lots of good memories, one vivid but not so fond memory is the tragic accident involving a team of heavy horses which happened at the 1985 Fair. This sent shock waves not only through the Richmond Fair community but also through the wider Fair community. Fair insurance was impacted and legal proceedings arising from the accident caused much worry to the Agricultural Society in the ensuing years. In 1986, the Richmond Fair operated under insurance provided by the midway operator. The Fair was held but there was no agricultural prize money handed out. The church meals were cancelled and it was more of a carnival than an agricultural Fair that year. But some good came out of the tragedy, as the area fairs drew closer together in this time of adversity, leading to closer cooperation, something that continues to this day as Richmond Fair volunteers help out at the South Mountain and Spencerville Fairs while volunteers from those Fairs handle the bar at the Richmond Fair’s Saturday night dance. The community also rallied to help support the Fair in this time of crisis, contributing funds to milk cans set up around the fairgrounds during the 1986 version of the Fair to help with future Fair costs. Non-profit organizations which exhibited at the Fair gave donations to help out as well. Vivien received the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies Agricultural Service Award recognizing outstanding contributions to agriculture in the province in 1989. Four years ago, she was honoured for her then-40 years of service to the Richmond Agricultural Society by the Canadian Association of Fairs and Exhibitions (CAFÉ). The Richmond Agricultural Society had joined CAFÉ in 1980 and is still very much involved with the organization through general manager Dale Greene

who sits as a director on its board. The Richmond Fair was a Class B Fair when Vivien was hired in 1970. It became a Class A Fair as of 1979. This Fair rating is determined by the amount of agricultural related prize money paid out by a Fair. It was in 1973 that the Agricultural Society changed its name from the County of Carleton Agricultural Society to the Richmond Agricultural Society. This name change was made simply because the County of Carleton no longer existed since the creation of the Regional Municipal of Ottawa-Carleton in 1969. Hazel Brown was the first lady president of the Richmond Agricultural Society in 1981. Since then, there have been two other lady presidents – Cindy Dawson and Sarah Farrell. Viven recalls that the first Richmond Fair logo was created in 1983, developed through the involvement of local schools. This initial logo has since been replaced with another logo. Vivien says that she may be the only person to still have a pin bearing this initial Fair logo. Only a few of these pins were produced. Vivien notes that being treasurer of the Agricultural Society involves a lot of work because of the large number of transactions which must be recorded. There are a lot of small donations and memberships to record while on the other side of the ledger, there are many small payouts and bills to pay. This means pages and pages of transactions for both revenue and expenditures to record, making for lots of bookkeeping work. This makes it a somewhat unique financial job. It was in 1987 that the position of secretary-treasurer of the Agricultural Society was split into two positions. Hilliard Green became the Society’s secretary while Vivien continued as treasurer, continuing to the present. Dale Greene took over as the Society’s secretary in 1996 and continues today as the Society’s general manager and secretary. Vivien, a longtime Richmond resident, says that she has enjoyed her work with the Society over the years, especially the financial work, given her interest in such financial transactions. “It’s an organization I’m proud to have been part of,” she says about her 44 years with the Agricultural Society.

The film is based on a true story, depicting a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by a British miners’ strike in 1984 at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. The National Union of Mineworkers was reluctant to accept the group’s support due to the union’s public relations worries about being openly associated with a gay group, so the activists instead decided to take their donations directly to Onllwyn, a small mining village in Wales. This results in an alliance between the two communities that turns out to be successful. The 2015 International Film Series hosted by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville will run from January through April, happening on Thursdays, Jan. 29, Feb. 26, March 26 and April 23, with 7 p.m. screenings at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum.

lers, performs a cappella style i.e. the group sings without musical accompaniment. A mixed voice choir with both men and women, the Stairwell Carollers present Christmas musical offerings that reflect the true spirit of Christmas. The Stiarwell Carollers were founded in 1977 by the group’s director, Pierre Massie, a Music graduate from the University of Ottawa. The group got its name, Stairwell Carollers, from singing in the stairwells at the University of Ottawa. But despite the name, that has not been its only performance venue over the years. Indeed, the Stairwell Carollers have presented hundreds of concerns in many venues in the Ottawa area over the years. The Stairwell Carollers have recorded six CD’s over the years. The profits from these CD’s have gone to support many local charities and organizations such as the Ottawa Mission, Harvest House Ministries and the Ottawa Chapter of the Autism Society of Ontario. Tickets for this upcoming concert by the Stairwell Carollers in Stittsville are $15 each and can be purchased through the office at St. Thomas Anglican Church at 613-836-5741 or from John Clarke at 613-831-7704.

Horticultural Society elects executive Special to the News

News - Ian Frei is continuing as president of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. He was re-elected for another year as president at the Society’s annual general meeting at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Penny Horeczy continues as the vice-president while John Soar will be the treasurer for the coming year. Members of the Society’s Board for 2015 include Janet Walker, Judith Cox, Arlene Sheppard, Lee Boltwood, Vivian McLean, Brenda Raid and Margret Farr. The past year has been a good one for the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society, with a plant sale in May giving the Society a major fundraising success. Society volunteers helped with civic beautification initiatives at the Welcome to Stittsville sign, the planters at Village Square Park and the flower beds at the Stittsville and Richmond Legion Halls. The Stittsville Food Bank garden produced vegetables over several weeks during the summer. A number of Horticultural Society members enjoyed a summertime bus trip to Les Jardins d’Emmerocales in Ripon, Quebec. An oak tree planted previously on the grounds of the Granite Ridge long term care facility continues to commemorate the Society’s founding members. The speakers at the Society’s monthly meetings touched on a breadth of topics which provided not only most informative but also most enjoyable.

Best totals ever in annual Scout/Guide fall food drive Scouter Kevin Chappell Special to the News

News - It was the best totals ever for the annual fall food drive for the Stittsville Food Bank undertaken by Stittsville’s Scout Sections and Girl Guide Units. Between Monday, Nov. 3 and Thursday, Nov. 6, 21 Scout Sections and Girl Guide Units went door-to-door in the community, seeking donations for the Stittsville Food Bank. Stittsville’s residents once again came through in generous fashion as a total of 191 boxes filled with food items plus cash donations of $2,271 were collected. These were the best totals ever for this annual event. These boxes of food items and donations were dropped off at the Stittsville Food Bank on Thursday evening, Nov. 20. Participation in this door-to-door fall food drive was super thanks to a change of date to late fall rather than early winter, introduction of a cool new participation crest and the full inclusion of the youngest members of Scouting and Guiding. Youth aged from 5 years to 17 years

spread out over the whole village in take part in this fall food drive and give back to the community that they call home. Besides the actual collection of the food items and donations, the Scouts and Guides also took a night to sort all of the food items to ease the workload on the volunteers of the Stittsville Food Bank by allowing for quick storage and re-stocking of the Food Bank shelves with all of the items pre-sorted. This fall food drive is the third of four events planned by the Stittsville Scouting and Guiding communities in support of the Stittsville Food Bank this year. The others were Apple Day which saw cash donations collected for the Food Bank and Villagefest which unfortunately was rained out this year. These efforts so far, with the spring food drive in April still to go, have resulted in 191 boxes full of food items donated as well as $4,272 in cash donations provided to the Food Bank. Stittsville’s Scouting and Guiding communities would like to thank the residents of Stittsville for their generosity in these initiatives to help the Stittsville Food Bank.

Christmas aura at 4H banquet this year Special to the News

News - The annual 4H banquet in Richmond took on a Christmas tone this year. The Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds, longtime location for this 4H awards banquet, was aglow with Christmas decorations for the event which was held last Friday evening. There was a fully decorated Christmas tree in one corner and the head table was adorned with red Christmas bowls and a garland of greenery. But it was more than just a decorated hall that brought a Christmas atmosphere to the gathering. The meal this year was that traditional Christmas favourite, turkey.

And, to top everything off, the banquet even received a visit from that jolly redsuited gentleman himself, Santa Claus. All in all, Christmas could not be missed at this year’s 4H banquet. This year’s banquet was hosted by the Ashton 4H Community Club while members from three local 4H Clubs were present: the Richmond 4H Community Club, the Ashton 4H Horse Club and the Ashton 4H Community Club. Those at the head table included Craig Wytenburg, president of the Richmond 4H Community Club; Sam Wilson, secretary of the Richmond 4H Community Club; Eliana

de Lima-Ventresca, president of the Ashton 4H Horse Club; Jamie Barclay, vice-president of the Ashton 4H Horse Club; Brittany Jackson, vice-president of the Ashton 4H Community Club; and Courtney Henderson of the Ashton 4H Community Club who served as the MC for the evening. The meal was served by the ladies and men from the Richmond Agricultural Society. President’s reports for all three 4H Clubs, outlining the year’s activities, were presented at the banquet. Awards were presented to members of the various clubs: the Ashton 4H Horse

Club, the Ashton 4H Community Club and the Richmond 4H Community Club. The various sponsors and supporters who help out the 4H program were all thanked for their generosity to the organization during the past year, helping to make the 4H program possible. Kelly Barclay, president of the Carleton 4H Association, was present at the banquet. The recitation of the 4H Pledge closed the banquet. The 4H Pledge is as follows: “I pledge/My Head to clearer thinking/My Heart to greater loyalty/My Hands to larger service/My Health to better living/For my club, my community and my country.”

The debut song for the eight voices of this new Teen Choir was “Carol of the Drum.” Later in the concert, the Teen Choir sang a jazzy and peppy song, “Take A Winter Walk With Me” and also delivered one of the concert’s highlights, “My Grown-Up Christmas List,” composed by Canadian musician David Foster and recorded by him with Natalie Cole on vocals in 1990. Another highlight of the concert came right on the heels of “My Grown-Up Christmas List” as all three choirs – the Jubilee Singers, the Junior Jubilees and the Teen Choir – combined for a massed choir rendition of “At Last I’m Ready for Christmas,” a song written by Canadian folk singing icon Stan Rogers. This massed choir number ended the concert, just like a massed choir song

“Hodie and Wolcum,” had started the concert. The concert featured two famous compositions by Mozart, one written when he was young and another written just before his death. “Te Deum,” sung by the Jubilee Singers choir at the concert, was composed by Mozart when he was just 13 years old after returning from a trip to England. This is a liturgical song but today is usually only heard sung at special events like royal weddings. Mozart’s “Ave Verum” was sung by the Jubilee Singers to begin the concert’s second half. Jubilee Singers director Linda Crawford noted that “Ave Verum” was composed by Mozart just six months before he died. She said it was composed for an ordinary parish church for the Feast of Corpus Christi, adding that it is considered perhaps the most perfect piece of choral music ever written. This year’s concert had several appealing features. There was the presence of a instrumental string ensemble which accompanied the choirs in a number of songs. This string ensemble included Nancy Eadie, Julian Lowery and Sam Lowery on violin, Ann Frederking on viola and Sandra Allan on cello. The concert also saw a number of audience singalong songs, ranging from “Silent Night” to “We Three Kings” to “Joy to the World” to “Go Tell It On The Mountain.” For “Si-

lent Night,” the Junior Jubilees sang the first verse in German before the audience joined in on the chorus in English. Indeed, German was also heard in the presentation of another famous German/Austrian Christmas carol, “Leise rieselt der Schnee.” This carol is very popular in Austria. This concert featured songs in a number of languages, not only Latin and German but also French, English and even Estonian. The traditional Estonian Christmas song, which Jubilee Singers director Linda Crawford described as the Estonian version of “Jingle Bells,” namely “Ule Lume Lagedale,” was sung by the Jubilee Singers, complete with the accompaniment of jingle bell sounds. “Joy to the World” proved to be a popular singalong song at the concert but then, it was the Christmas carol which was voted by the Jubilee Singers themselves as their favourite carol, so you know that it was going to be energetically sung which was the case. This year’s Christmas concert saw a lot of participation by the Junior Jubilees. There was the traditional favourite “Away in a Manger” as well as the Scottish carol “What Strangers Are These?” which featured Junior

Jubilee singers Eric Clipperton and Jacqueline Tilgner as soloists. The Junior Jubilees also sang “What Sweeter Music?”, using an arrangement by Canadian composer Eleanor Daley, as well as a Quebecois Christmas song “Novelle agreable,” featuring soloists Julia Heusel, MacKenzie Snow, Ali Tilgner and Tia Zubryn. The Junior Jubilees returned later in the program with a snappy little ditty entitled “Waiting Patiently For Santa” as well as the song “Chocolate In My Stocking.” The singing of “De Virgin Mary Had A Baby Boy,” a traditional Christmas song from Trinidad which was a hit for singer Harry Bellafonte in the 1960’s, by the dozen male voices of the Jubilee Singers was another concert highlight, complete with solos by Jim Houghton, Scott Shepherd, Wayne Spears and Sandy Sutherland. Besides directing this number, Linda Crawford also accompanied the group on an African drum. The Jubilee Singers as a group, both ladies and men, sang a Quebecois song entitled “Noel c’est l’amour” with Karen Martin serving as a soloist. Other songs in the concert includ-

ed the ladies of the Jubilee Singers singing “In the Bleak Midwinter,” a carol which is very popular in England; the whole Jubilee Singers choir singing a song “The Darkest Midnight in December” which dates back to 1728 and then following it up with another winter imagery song, “Winter Solstice” with Nancy Eadie accompanying the choir on the violin; and a song by the men of the Jubilee Singers, “Christmas in Carrick,” using an arrangement by Mark Sirett of Kingston of this traditional tune. It featured not only violin i.e. fiddle accompaniment by Sam Lowery, but also the playing of the “spoons” by Sandy Sutherland of the Jubilee Singers. This concert featured the initial performance by Bonnie MacDiarmid as the keyboard accompanist for the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, the Junior Jubilees and the new Teen Choir. This “Welcome Yule” concert was presented both last Saturday evening and again last Sunday afternoon at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. For those who like to plan ahead, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers spring concert will be held at the same location, the Glen Cairn United Church, with the dates being Saturday evening, May 2 and Sunday afternoon, May 3.

end up with two, for a dollar and one cent. No wonder Mother was making a list as long as your arm. Just to be sure Mother had enough money to cover all the things on her list, she had Everett slaughter four good, fat chickens, and gather a couple dozen eggs, all of which she would peddle off to her good customers in Renfrew before we hit the drug store. Ritza’s Drug Store was packed to the gunnies by the time we got there, and with her change purse bulging from her egg money, and what she was able to scrounge from selling the few chickens and eggs, Mother was ready to do business. There was Aunt Bertha, Mrs. Beam, Cecil’s mother Mrs. Briscoe, and even Miss Crosby my teacher at the Northcote School, all taking advantage of this wondrous of bargains. I purposely didn’t watch what Mother was buying. It was far more exciting to see her unpack it on the kitchen table when we got home, when I was looking at it for the first time. Mother and I carried the big brown paper bags out to the buggy. It seemed to me she had bought everything in the ad that filled a full page in the Renfrew Mercury.

#

Lifestyle - Mother had counted her egg money at least four times. It sat all night in little mounds at the end of the kitchen table, just where she had left it when we had gone to bed. Beside it was a sheet of white paper, and the full-page ad out of the Renfrew Mercury. Mother’s list was long, and although there wasn’t a thing on it that caused me the least bit of excitement, what did get me all in a state of anticipation, was the fact that we would be going into Renfrew to Ritza’s Drug Store, where I could browse the perfume counter and use the little sample dip-stick to dab on a bit of Evening in Paris, my very favourite. It was the Rexall One Cent Sale, which happened twice a year, and now it was late in the fall, and the Renfrew Mercury showed a full page of everything from tooth powder, to rubbing alcohol, to something called “pills for pale people.� These were not the same as Lydia Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People, according to my older sister Audrey. No, everything on the one-cent sale had to bear the label “Rexall.� And it was Audrey, so much smarter than I was, who explained how the sale worked. She told me in the simplest of terms. If you bought something that cost a dollar, you got another of the exact same thing for a cent, so you would

Mary Cook: One cent sale Continued from page 35

She lined everything up in rows, and to make sure she hadn’t been cheated, which was highly unlikely, as she stroked each item off her long list. There were two of everything. There were the two green tins of tooth powder. Tooth powder was a real treat. We usually used baking soda, which I hated with a passion. Everything was in either a green tin, a green box, or a green paper bag. That seemed to be the colour of the Rexall One Cent Sale. The exception was the little stack of foolscap pads. They were bright pink, and I knew who they would be for -- my brother Emerson would lay claim to them. He spent hours drawing pictures of glass buildings, houses

that were made of glass cubes. We thought him pretty strange, but Mother thought he was a genius and would grow up to be someone famous. So the pink pads were for him. There were green bottles of cough medicine, pain pills, even liniment for the horses. All in twos: full price for one, and the second for a cent. The kitchen table was a sea of green when Mother got everything laid out in rows. And then she took her change purse out and sorted the few coins that were left. It had been a good day. Not only had she bought all the necessities to see us through the long winter ahead, she had money left over to put back into the egg-money sugar bowl in the cupboard. It had indeed been a good day. And I still smelled of Evening in Paris to boot.

This week we answer a question posed by one of our readers, L.L. We are buying our first home. The bank insists that we add my father as a co-owner of the home since in order to qualify for the mortgage amount that we need. The entire down payment is coming from our savings and we will be making all the mortgage payments. I really don’t want to include my father. What are your suggestions?

Adding a person that is not going to be living at the property as a co-owner is generally not recommended, unless you are buying an investment property. You should talk to your bank whether it would be sufficient to have your father as a guarantor on the mortgage, rather than a coowner. If the bank still insists on your father’s ownership, there are ways to structure the co-ownership in order to protect everyone’s interest and to minimize your father’s exposure to any tax related consequences of owning a second home.

Joint Tenancy and Tenancy in Common There are two ways how two or more individuals can own a real property together. They can either own it as joint tenants or as tenants in common. The main difference between the two is that people who own a property as joint tenants have a right of survivorship, meaning that if either one of them dies, his or her ownership share passes automatically to the other surviving joint tenants. This is in contrast with tenancy in common, which does not have a right of survivorship, meaning that the share of the deceased tenant in common becomes part of such person’s estates. With tenancy in common you can also specify a size of a share that each co-owner owns. For example, your father can own 1% share of the home and you and your spouse remaining 99% share, with all of you owning the home as tenants in common, to make sure that your and your spouse’s share becomes part of your estate rather than transferring to your father in case something happens to both of you.

Talking about fish habitat embayment project John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - A recently completed fish habitat embayment project in Richmond will be topic at the next meeting of the Richmond Village Association this coming Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Richmond branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Perth Street in Richmond. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend to hear about this new fish habitat embayment project at the Richmond Conservation Area on Royal York Street immediately east of the McBean Street bridge in Richmond. The project was undertaken in October by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation in partnership with Fisheries and Oceans, Environment Canada, Muskies Canada (Ottawa Chapter), National Defense Headquarters Fish and Game Club and the Ottawa Flyfishers Society. The project involved converting an existing grassed park area at the Richmond Conservation Area into a riverine wetland embayment along the shoreline of the Jock River. An embayment is a recess in the shoreline, forming a bay. This Jock River Fish Habitat Embayment Creation Project has created about 1,000 square metres of new spawning, nursery, rearing and feeding habitat for the 40 species of fish that reside in the Jock River. However, the key target species for the project are muskellunge (muskie) and northern pike which are found naturally in the Jock River. This embayment project will also provide habitat for breeding birds and amphibians as well as turtles nesting

habitat. This will help increase the overall biodiversity of the area. Rabb Construction of Richmond was retained to help construct this new fish habitat embayment area, working alongside a group of volunteers. Construction took place over nine days in October, with 108 truckloads of fill being removed from the area to create the new fish habitat embayment. Approximately 100 metres of new shoreline was created by re-grading the existing slope and planting a shoreline buffer around the perimeter of the new embayment feature. Volunteers were an important feature of the project, contributing a total of 294 volunteer hours. This involved a total of 14 volunteers from three local angling clubs including the National Defence Headquarters Fish and Game Club, the Ottawa Flyfishers Society and Muskies Canada (Ottawa Chapter). An embayment is a shallow wetland feature along a shoreline of a river. As such, this project has created unique wetland habitat along this stretch of the Jock River. It will provide a quiet backwater area adjacent to a portion of the river where the current can be quite strong. The new area will provide excellent spawning and nursery habitat for fish in the Jock River. Fish will find the embayment naturally due to its direct connection to the river. The embayment also features lots of underwater wood structure for fish, frogs and turtles. Ducks will also be using the area for rearing their young. Signage at the embayment will increase public awareness of the project and the biodiversity of the Jock River. There will also be a dock placed adjacent to the embayment to provide an improved access point for canoes and kayaks in this stretch of the Jock River.

Backhoes stand by as the new fish habitat embayment area at the Richmond Conservation Area along Royal York Street in Richmond takes shape, providing a new fish spawning and nursery area along the Jock River in Richmond. Partners in the project, besides the three angling clubs, have included Shell’s Fuelling Change program, Environment Canada, Ottawa Community Foundation, Fendock, and the Fisheries and Oceans Recreational Fisheries program. The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has created a couple of similar embayment projects at the Chapman Mills Conservation Area on the Rideau River in the Barrhaven area. These have proven to be very successful. Those attending the Richmond Village Association general meeting this coming Tuesday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. at the Richmond library will be able to hear all about this new fish habitat

embayment project at the Richmond Conservation Area. Jennifer Lamoureux, an aquatic and fish habitat biologist with the Rideau Valley Conservation Area, will be there to make the presentation on the embayment project. Kristy Gilles from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, who is responsible for managing the Richmond Conservation Area, will be at the meeting to provide information about the embayment project from a conservation lands perspective. Brenda Rabb from Rabb Construction is also expected to be at the meeting to provide a view of the project from a contractor’s perspective.

Trinity Handbell Quartet at Ladies Chorus concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Bells will be ringing at the upcoming Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. That’s because the Trinity Handbell Quartet will be musical guests at the concert this year, not only presenting three selections on their own but also joining with the Ladies Chorus and the audience in two carols. The Trinity Handbell Quartet, which was formed in early 2013, is made up of four members of the larger Trinity Hilltop Ringers handbell group. These four members were interested in learning the skills required to play small ensemble music on the bells compared to the skills used when ringing with a full handbell choir. Small ensemble groups like this Trinity Handbell Quartet generally consist of less than eight ringers, with each individual ringer in a position to be called upon to ring any of the bells on the table as required. With a full handbell choir, a ringer is usually responsible for three or four bells. The Trinity Handbell Quartet, which consists of Amy Sirotek, Danielle Carrie, Martin Edwards and Rachel Kuhl, is such that the members frequently change their assignment order for each of the selections that they might be playing. At the upcoming West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ Christmas concert, the Trinity Handbell Quartet’s first offer-

ing will be a handbell arrangement by Ardis Freeman of the first movement from Beethoven’s most famous piano solo, the Sonata in C#Minor, better known as the “Moonlight Sonata.” This selection uses all 49 bells (four octaves) that will be spread out on the tables. Later in the program, the Trinity Handbell Quartet will present two Christmas carols: the “Coventry Carol,” a traditional carol as arranged by Charles Maggs for a handbell quartet; and “Carol of the Bells,” a song by Mykolo Leontovich, also arranged for a handbell quartet by Charles Maggs. In both of these carols, the Trinity Handbell Quartet will use 37 bells (three octaves). The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ Christmas concert, entitled “A GarSUBMITTED land of Carols,” will be presented on Members of the Trinity Handbell Quartet which will be guest performers at the upcoming West Ottawa Ladies Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and again Chorus Christmas concert are, from left, Amy Sirotek, Danielle Carrie, Rachel Kuhl and Martin Edwards. on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 2:30 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

Two teams of alumni and current players of Sacred Heart High School hockey teams assemble together before playing a fundraising game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Thursday, Nov. 20 to raise funds for a scholarship in memory of Connor Hayes, a Sacred Heart graduate and former hockey team player who died tragically in New Zealand in Sept. 2013.

Hockey game for Connor Hayes scholarship John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The late Connor Hayes was not there on the ice but he was definitely there in spirit and in the thoughts of all of the players on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 20 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville. It was a fundraising hockey game in memory of Connor Hayes, with the funds raised going to set up a scholarship at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Connor’s name. Connor Hayes died tragically in Sept. 2013 when a van carrying the 25 year old Sacred Heart graduate and his 24 year old girlfriend Joanna Lam went off a road in New Zealand, tumbling 80 metres down into a gorge of the Haast River. Both died with Connor’s body never being recovered. At Sacred Heart, Connor had been captain of the varsity hockey team in 2006 and also was the school’s head boy that year. He also played on the school’s basketball team. To fund a scholarship that will be awarded in honour of Connor Hayes at Sacred Heart, a memorial hockey game between Sacred Heart alumni players who played with Connor and a team comprised of more recent and current Sacred Heart hockey team players was organized, to be played on Thursday afternoon, Nov. 20. The game may become an annual event, played each fall. Among those playing in the game were Mike Hayes,

Connor’s father and a former Sacred Heart teacher and hockey coach, and Connor’s brother Lliam Hayes. A couple of dozen fans also turned out for the game which featured three 20 minute stop time periods. In the end, the team of more recent and current players ended up winning 4-3 but the final score was not significant. It was far more important that over 30 players turned out to play in memory of Connor and to contribute to the scholarship fund. At the end of the game, the players exchanged hand shakes at centre ice and then, after changing to their street clothes, they enjoyed a pizza and pop “meet and greet” reunion in the lobby of the Matt Bradley Arena at the GRC. In the lobby a table had been set up on which Connor’s graduation photo from Sacred Heart was displayed. It was accompanied by a hockey skate, Connor’s red hockey number 20 jersey and a lit candle. The players all contributed to the scholarship fund. Basketballs cut in half were used to collect donations from those in attendance and the players. Basketball, after all, was one of the sports in which Connor was involved. One major source of funds was arranged by Clayton Wallace who is now a firefighter. He arranged a raffle of Ottawa Senators tickets among the firefighters, raising a total of $579 which was turned over to the scholarship fund. More than $2,000 in total was raised by the game with the final figure not yet certain other than it will be over $2,000. Those who suited up for the Connor era team for this game included Pat Paquette, Trev Saloman, Travis Emery, Clayton Wallace, Mike Hayes, Lliam Hayes, Ryan Caron, Vince Delaney,

Dylan Leeder, Eric Long, Andrew Herman, Jack Duffy, Drake Clancy, Mike Laurysen, Greg Maghales, Dan Gray, Mike Moreau, Matty Medags, Tony Hiratsuka and Sean Kelly. Players for the team comprised of more recent and current Sacred Heart hockey players

included Luke Haunts, Luke Ley, Jacob Sloan, Sam Kelly, Kyle Murray, Robbie Clarkson, Jordie Beauchamp, Ryan Paquette, Stu McFall, Rifle Engler, Kurtis Schaefer, Cory Scholtz, James Agnew, Brad Odam, Luke Mulvihill, Chris Monteith and Corey Villeneuve.

Commander Mike Speiser talks to St. Philip students Special to the News

News - Students at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond heard from a 26 year veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy about the importance of Remembrance Day at the school’s annual Remembrance assembly on Monday, Nov. 10, the day before Remembrance Day. Commander Mike Speiser, a Richmond resident, wearing his naval uniform, told the assembled students that Canada was the best country on earth, noting that he had been to about 80 countries in his career. He said that he has seen some terrible things around the world but said that people in Canada have things that they may take for granted but which many others in the world do not have, such as television, a warm meal and organized sports. Commander Speiser told the students that Canadians have to appreciate the great nation in which they live and

said that is one reason why it is important to recognize and remember those men and women in uniform who have gone before us and who served to protect the country of Canada. Besides Commander Speiser’s remarks, the assembled students also heard messages from two via a video prepared by the school’s “Genius Club.” Major Naismith of the RCAF and Richmond veteran (Major) Roger Bourgeois both told their stories related to their military service. Mr. Bourgeois told he had had enlisted 70 years ago in 1944 when he was just 18 years old but that by the time he had received his training, the World War had ended. The assembly began with a group of students marching into the gym singing “We Are Proud Canadians.” After the singing of O Canada, Rev. Bob Poole of St. Philip’s Parish led an opening prayer.

This was followed by everyone – students, staff, visiting veterans and Richmond Legion members and parents – observing two minutes of silence to remember all those who have served the country in war and in peace. This was followed by the school’s choir singing “Maple Leaf Forever,” which was written in 1867, Canada’s year of confederation. Students then recited the poem “In Flanders Fields.” A special presentation of maple leaf mementos was then made to several veterans who were in attendance at the assembly. A poppy wreath filled with messages from students was then presented to Richmond Legion president Jane Louks. President Louks presented a Poppy Appreciation Award to St. Philip’s School. The offering of an Irish blessing by the grade two class followed by a prayer ended the assembly.

Options include closing Munster school Special to the News

News - While an April 2014 Ottawa Carleton District School Board motion was aimed primarily at a plan to introduce an Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School in Sept. 2015, it now appears that the process is including other options including a couple which would see the school closed. A working group with representation from Munster Elementary School, A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School, Richmond Public School, Westwind Public School and Goulbourn Middle School as well as from local community associations has been meeting with several possible scenarios emerging: New SK-5 Early French Immersion Program at Munster Elementary School to be introduced in the 20152016 school year; Munster Elementary School continues as a single track JK-5 English Program School; Munster Elementary School JK-5 English Program students be directed to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville for the 20152016 school year; Munster Elementary School JK-5 English Program students residing north of Fallowfield Road be directed to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville for the 20152016 school year while Munster Elementary School JK-5 English program students residing south of Fallowfield Road will be directed

to Richmond Public School for the 2015-2016 year. Any introduction of a new SK-5 Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School in the 2015-2016 school year would involve students living north of Fallowfield Road being directed to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School as at present. After this was done, Munster Elementary School would be home to two small programs with 49 students in the JK-5 English program and 31 students in the SK-5 Early French Immersion program. This total of 80 students would see Munster Elementary School operating at 36.5 percent of capacity which is 219 students. Concerns arising from such enrolment figures include triple grade split classes and an insufficient number of students available to form sports teams and clubs. Munster Elementary School could continue as a single track JK-5 English program school with a marketing plan put in place to try to increase future enrolment. That’s because enrolment would be 54 students which would see the school operating at 24.7 percent capacity. It is felt that increased enrolment from a marketing plan would not be high given the Board’s experience trying to do this in other areas, especially in an area like the Munster Elementary School attendance area where there is a limited base population from which to draw. Munster Elementary School JK-5

English program students could be relocated in a block move to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville for the 2015-2016 school year and beyond through to grade eight. Under this proposal, grade five students currently at Munster Elementary School would have a onetime option to attend Goulbourn Middle School for the 2015-2016 school year and beyond rather than go to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School. Under this scenario, A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School would have 618 students, 103 percent of its capacity which is 600 students. Currently A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School uses four portables contained in the school’s port-a-pak. Under this scenario, two more of these portables would be put into use. Enrolment at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School is forecast to decrease gradually in the coming years. This would permit the school to accommodate the additional students from Munster Elementary School. It is noted that A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School also has the space to accommodate up to three standalone portables should more space be needed at the school. It is estimated that if this move of Munster Elementary School students to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School were implemented, Goulbourn Middle School would see its enrolment decrease by an estimated

three to five students per grade beginning in 2016. Moving Munster Elementary School JK-5 English program students in a block to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School would require an ARC (Accommodation Review Committee) process to determine the future use of the Munster Elementary School facility and to formally close the school. An alternative to a mass move of the Munster Elementary School JK-5 English program students at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville would be moving the Munster students residing north of Fallowfield Road to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School while directing the Munster English program students residing south of Fallowfield Road to Richmond Public School. This would see both A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School and Richmond Public School operating at 96 percent capacity. Enrolment at Richmond Public School would be 246 students (254 students capacity) while enrolment at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School would be 576 students (600 students capacity). This scenario would also require an ARC process to be implemented to determine the future use of the Munster Elementary School facility and to formally close the school. Another option is to create a new JK-5 Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School, with Early French Immer-

sion students currently attending A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School and Westwind Public School being moved in a block to the new program at Munster. This would involve about 150 Early French Immersion students from JK to grade five. The English program students currently at Munster would be redirected to Richmond Public School. It is noted that this introduction of a new Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School in such a manner as a block move would be challenging in terms of student transition. Some phasing would be required in order to permit upper-grade students the ability to finish out at their current schools. A plus would be that establishing such an Early French Immersion program at Munster Elementary School would open up space at both A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School and Westwind Public School in Stittsville, providing space to accommodate future residential growth in the Stittsville area. A public consultation meeting regarding these possible changes at Munster Elementary School is being held on Wednesday, Dec. 3 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium at Munster Elementary School in Munster. At this meeting, members of the public will be encouraged to provide input on the situation in order to help determine the best scenario for the students involved moving forward.

Food Bank Angel Tree at St. Thomas Church Special to the News

News - An Angel Tree is now up at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. But this year there is a difference in that gift cards are being asked for instead of wrapped presents as in the past. The hope is that gift cards will result in a child receiving a more suitable and appropriate gift than in the past when donors purchased a gift for a child based on the information written on an “Angel” on the tree. This change has meant that the angels hanging on the Angel Tree at St. Thomas Anglican Church this year now feature a little less specific information about the gift recipient.

In the past, the information on an angel might be rather specific such as boy, age 2. Now, the gift information on the angels reads something like “Youth, age 7-12” or “Infant/ Toddler.” It is the hope this year that gift cards purchased from stores like Toys R Us or Chapters or Old Navy or from movie theatres or fast foot restaurants will now allow the receiving family the opportunity to use the gift card to purchase a gift that is as appropriate as possible for the child involved. This switch to gift cards is also helping out the Food Bank since the gift cards this year will be taking up a lot less space than the previous Angel Tree gifts which were all

wrapped presents. The Stittsville Food Bank does not have as much space available to it now as it did in the past and so this new approach which will require less space for storage and distribution is seen as a real benefit. The Angel Tree at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville will be up for three weeks during which time parishioners will be able to select an “angel” from the tree and then purchase an appropriate gift card, returning it to a box set up at the Angel Tree itself. These gift cards will eventually be included with the Christmas hampers provided to the families using the Stittsville Food Bank this coming Christmas season.

Here’s ‘All That Glam’ Special to the News

DK A E R CLIC

WIN

News - “All That Glam,” second edition, is here! This second annual jewelry fundraiser to support breakfast programs at schools in Nunavut is happening this Saturday, Nov. 29 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the new Richcraft Recreation Complex on Innovation Drive in Kanata. There will be thousands of pieces of gently-used jewelry and handbags for sale. What a great place to purchase socially responsible Christmas gifts while also getting that special piece of jewelry that will dazzle those at your office Christmas party or at a Christmas gathering of family and friends. You can also tell your friends and acquaintances about the event. Last year, one woman was heard to say: “This is a woman’s wonderland, especially just before Christmas.” It was last year when as grade 12 student Eva von Jagow organized an inaugural charity sale called “All That Glam” which was a sale of gentlyused jewelry and handbags to raise money for school breakfast programs in Nunavut. The event was a resounding success, raising nearly $10,000. This amount was matched by Canadian

Pacific which meant that a much-needed school breakfast program in Coral Harbor in Nunavut could be established and funded for two years. However, breakfast programs at schools in Nunavut need continual funding and so the fundraiser has become an annual event with this year’s second annual sale. While doing research about Nunavut for a school project, Eva came across the harsh reality of nutrition in the Far North. It was shocking to see a photo of a jar of peanut butter costing $18.99 in a Nunavut supermarket. Even with federal shipping subsidies, a head of cabbage can cost over $20. A three litre container of orange juice is typically $9. Especially in the winter months, fresh fruit and vegetables are very high in price and very poor in quality. What this all means is that many children in Nunavut start off their school day with poor nutrition. Having a child going to school hungry or malnourished like this should not be happening anywhere in Canada including Nunavut. Something had to be done about this. One way to help is to start ensuring that children receive a healthy breakfast. When the Breakfast Club of Canada was contacted last year and was told about this idea of raising money for Nunavut school breakfast programs, the Breakfast Club agreed to direct the funds from a fundraiser to specific Nunavut schools. The idea for “All That Glam” came to Eva while helping her mom clean out her closet and jewelry box. It was agreed that she had too much of everything. Yet, like most women, she tended to wear the same 10 to 20 pieces of jewelry and use the same handbags most of the time. So there were lots of extras that could be donated to a fundraiser. That’s when Eva thought – women donate clothing to causes all of the time. Why not donate jewelry and handbags for a fundraising event? This idea developed into the “All That Glam” idea as the way to raise money for schools in Nunavut. If you have any questions, please contact Eva von Jagow at allthatglamsale@gmail.com or check out Facebook at ALL THAT GLAM FUNDRAISER.

Junior Citizen Awards Special to the News

News - The nomination deadline is fast approaching for the 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards. The deadline is Sunday, Nov. 30. This Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program is coordinated by the Ontario Community Newspapers Association of which the Stittsville News is a member. The program is sponsored by TD Bank Group and the Insurance Bureau of Canada. Any Ontario resident aged 6 to 17 years old as of Nov. 30, 2014 can be nominated. There are five areas in which a person can be nominated: a person involved in worthwhile community service; a special young person contributing to the community while living with a physical or psychological limitation; an individual who has performed an act of heroism in the past year; a person who has excelled in

achievement in such fields as the arts or athletics; and just plain “good kids” who have shown a commitment to make life better for others and who do more than is normally expected of someone their age. Up to 12 nominees will be selected as award winners with the award being presented at a ceremony in Toronto in the spring of 2015. The program’s goal is to shine the spotlight on today’s youth and what they have accomplished in making their community a better place by volunteering for organizations, making donations, saving lives and excelling in their pursuits. Anyone can nominate a person to be a 2014 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year.

Please Help This Teen Find a Permanent Family As the holiday season approaches in Ottawa, one local teen is looking for a special gift, the gift of family. Taylor is your average high-school-aged teenager. He loves sports, music, video games and hanging out with his friends. He’s a great athlete who takes sports very seriously, and a decent student who is looking for stability at home that will help him thrive at school and beyond. Taylor is looking for a family that likes doing things together, including dinners, watching movies, family nights and going on trips. He’d be more than happy to become a big or younger brother in his new family, and if a house has dogs, he’s all for it and can even take them out running with him! Taylor is at an age where he’s seeking some independence, but wants to create a lifelong bond with a family who can help guide him through the rest of his youth and into adulthood. Anyone who joins Taylor in his journey will be rewarded with a warm, bright and funny kid who really values the people in his life and is very loyal to them. Taylor has an attachment to the Stittsville/ Kanata area that we would love to maintain. He also has ties to his birth mother and grandparents in the Ottawa area and wants to keep those connections alive in his life. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about Taylor, please contact Michael McDougall at the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa, at 613-747-7800 ext. 2828 or send an email to michael.mcdougall@casott.on.ca.

Your gift keeps on giving. Forever.

PLANNING A LEGACY GIFT AS PART OF YOUR ESTATE PLAN CAN HAVE POSITIVE TAX BENEFITS Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? By Paul St. Louis, LL.B, TEP Vice-President, Doherty & Associates

Many people who have been faithfully putting away funds regularly into registered retirement savings plans are only peripherally aware of the large embedded tax liability within these funds. For those holding such plans, the general idea is to draw on these funds later in life (you must begin doing so in the year following the year in which you turn 71) when your taxation rate may be lower. When the funds come out of the

plan, they are considered income and taxed accordingly. Similarly on death, unless rolled over to a qualified beneficiary (usually a spouse), the funds are de-registered all at once, considered income and consequently taxed heavily. Did you know that you can designate a charitable organization as the direct beneficiary of a part or all of your retirement funds? This represents a unique opportunity for some donors who are planning a legacy gift as part of their estate plan. When CHEO

is designated as a direct beneficiary of a part or all of your RRSP or RRIF, on the death of the plan holder, your estate can be issued a charitable tax receipt for the full amount of the designated funds which will generally offset the entire tax liability embedded in the designated funds. It is relatively straightforward to make this kind of gift. You simply need to name the hospital (CHEO Foundation - charitable registration number 11885 2474 RR0001) as the beneficiary on the plan documentation

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694 58 Stittsville News - Thursday, November 27, 2014

with the financial institution that holds your retirement account. Before moving forward with such a gift, you need to consider this technique in the broader context of your overall financial and tax situation, so it is advisable to get professional advice from either your own financial planner or one of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee members.

Both of these goals by the Rams came on the power play. In the third period, Ottawa scored at the eight minute mark to tie up the game 2-2 and set the stage for overtime play.

Jordan Boutillier scored for the Rams at the 4:59 mark of the overtime session to give the Rams a 3-2 victory. Other Rams goal scorers in this game were Talmadge Farnes and Jackson Goudie. Picking up assists in this game for the Rams were Jordan Boutillier, Matt Veaudry, Clay Carter and Matt Allan while Talmadge Farnes earned two assists. The Ottawa Canadians peppered 49 shots at Rams’ goalie Matt Couvrette while the Rams managed 38 shots in the game at the Ottawa net. Last Sunday at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, the Rams suffered a one-goal loss to the visiting Shawville Pontiacs, losing 4-3. The game was tied up 1-1 after the first pe-
