Here comes tree lighting ceremony! Jasmine Stamos
Special to the News
News - This year’s fourth annual tree lighting ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville promises to be a heart-warming community event. And everyone’s invited to attend. Indeed, what better way to start off the holiday season than with this tree lighting ceremony which is being held at Sacred Heart this coming Wednesday, Dec. 10. Everyone is welcome to join in on the festivities, all beginning at 6 p.m. This will be Sacred Heart’s fourth consecutive year hosting this event which is orchestrated and executed
by Sacred Heart students with teacher assistance. A tree-lighting liturgy will begin at 6:30 p.m. with prayer and the symbolic illumination of a threetiered Christmas tree adorned with ornaments representing every niche of the school’s multi-facted student body and also including teachers, administrators and support staff. Following the tree lighting ceremony, everyone present is invited to have a piece of cake and enjoy a hot chocolate or hot apple cider. In addition, the school’s Social Justice Club will be offering organized children’s activities such as cookie decorating, colouring, letters to Santa, storytelling, face painting, a “Pin the Button on the Gingerbread
Man” game and making Christmas ornaments and other crafts that are sure to be entertaining and fun for children. There will be an exhibition and sale of art by Sacred Heart’s Art Club. Proceeds from this art sale will be going to help support the school’s student trip to the Dominican Republic. A visit from two princesses from Disney’s “Frozen” will be sure to thaw any frozen hearts. It is also being rumoured that jolly Santa Claus himself will be making an appearance at this event at Sacred Heart. See TREE LIGHTING, page 6

‘World premiere’ at Stairwell Carollers concert John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Thirty voices singing together in a cappella style. Enjoyable. Singing a collection of traditional Christmas carols, some well known, some less so but all with unique arrangements. Awesome. And the “world premiere” of the concert’s title piece, “O Magnum Mysterium,” composed by the group’s founder and director Pierre Massie. Priceless. But last Saturday’s Christmas concert “O Magnum Mysterium” had all this and more as the Stairwell Carollers lived up to their name and then some – they are truly “Carollers” extraordinaire. Indeed, it is no wonder that this Ottawa-based choir was the top winner in provincial choral competitions in both 2010 and 2013. This was the choir’s first of its Christmas season concerts which is why the group’s presentation of Pierre Massie’s new composition “O Magnum Mysterium” was a “world premiere,” right here in Stittsville, because this was the first time it was sung by the group in concert. The concert, held at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville last Friday evening, saw the Stairwell Singers move through a total of 28 seasonal tunes in various languages – for example, English, German, French – from a variety of places – such as Germany, Wales, Puerto Rico, England and France. With red scarves flung around their shoulders, giving a festive appearance to the group, the Stairwell Carollers performed the songs largely in sets of four, with each set having a different focus. For instance, the set including “Once in Royal David’s City,” “Venez divin Messie” (a traditional French carol), “I Saw A Maiden” (15th century words in a Victorian setting) and “I Saw Three Ships” all featured a focus on the birth of Jesus. Indeed, it was this set which provided some humour as director Pierre

IT’S A
Massie, despite his 37 years leading the choir, began leading the wrong song, something that he quickly caught and corrected. Both songs, “I Saw a Maiden” and “I Saw Three Ships” began with the same words “I Saw” which he offered as part of his explanation for the mis-direction, along with it being a unique happening in his 37 years leading the choir. This all happened with humour and smiles on choir faces, just adding to the warmth and enjoyment of the evening. The concert featured a great variety of songs but always with one constant – the harmony and melodic voices of the choir, delivering the songs with a lyrical beauty that only
the human voice can generate. The first set of songs included an old German carol “In dulci jubilo,” a 20th century piece “Here is the Little Door,” a traditional French carol “Nouvelle agreeable” and “Alleluya, A New Work is Come.” Another set in the first half included the traditional German song “Still, Still, Still,” “In the Bleak Mid Winter,” the Wassail Song and Pierre Massie’s new composition “O Magnum Mysterium.” The first half also featured an opening “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and a closing with a Christmas classic, “Good King Wenceslaus.” The second half following an intermission followed the same pat-
tern, opening with the men of the choir singing a traditional Welsh song “Suo Gan.” One set in this second half included “A Virgin Most Pure,” a traditional Irish song; “Dormi, Jesu,” a Latin lullaby; “What Child Is This?”, a traditional Victorian carol; and “En El Portal de Belen,” a traditional Puerto Rico carol arranged by Canadian composter Ed Henderson. One particularly arresting set included the slow “Village Wedding,” “Iesous Ahatonnia” aka The Huron Carol arranged by Pierre Massie, “Away in a Manger,” that always favourite Christmas carol which the Stairwell Carollers did in a soft and gentle way, and “Angelus ad Virgin-

em,” a song telling the story of the Annunication. The other second half set included “It Came Upon A Midnight Clear,” a traditional English song; “A Maiden Most Gentle,” a relatively recent carol; “Notre divin Maitre,” a traditional French Canadian carol with a new arrangement by Pierre Massie; and “The Holly and the Ivy,” a traditional song but delivered with some small unique twists. The concert formally ended with the choir singing “The First Nowell,” a traditional favourite. But following a standing ovation, the choir launched into “Silver Bells” and then a concluding “We Wish You’re a Merry Christmas.” This was the first time that the Stairwell Carollers had performed in Stittsville since 2006. The Stairwell Carollers were formed in 1977 by their director Pierre Massie, initially singing in four-part harmony in stairwells. The group was 8 to 10 singers in its initial years. Several of the singers, though, have now been with the Stairwell Carollers for 35 or more years with a number singing with the choir for 25 years now. There are, though, some first timers among the current group as well. The Stairwell Singers embraces a repertoire encompassing sacred and secular songs from the Renaissance period as well as unique interpretations of traditional Christmas carols in different languages. As a non-profit organization, it raises funds for local charities through its concerts as well as cookbook and CD sales. Since 1997, the Stairwell Carollers have raised over $69,100 for local charities and scholarships. In addition, the choir raised $53,719 for Ronald McDonald House in 1986, bringing its total charitable donations over the years to over $122,000. See STAIRWELL, page 6

Ottawa radio legend Gord Atkinson attends Stairwell Carollers concert John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Gord Atkinson is a legend in radio in Ontario. He was the voice of CFMO Radio over the years and was known for his friendship with Bing Crosby, among other entertainment stars. Gord, who lives in Stittsville, attended last Friday’s Christmas concert presented by the Stairwell Carollers a cappella choir of Ottawa. At the end of the concert, when Stairwell Carollers director and founder made some closing remarks, he pointed out the presence of Mr.
Atkinson in the audience, noting that the Stairwell Carollers were always on the Christmas broadcasts which he hosted on the radio. Indeed, it was during their first appearance on radio with Gord Atkinson that the group got its name. As Mr. Massie told it at last Friday’s concert, there was a little air space at the beginning of the broadcast and the group was asked its name. Up until that point, this group, then perhaps ten singers who sang around at various shopping malls and businesses, did not have a name. But the name Stairwell Carollers,

Mr. Massie also noted that Mr. Atkinson had a lot of involvement in the choir’s production of a fundraising album for Ronald McDonald House in 1986, an initiative which raised over $53,000. Mr. Massie and Mr. Atkinson embraced and exchanged good wishes after the concert. Mr. Atkinson remarked how great it was not only to see Pierre and his wife Holly, who sings in the choir, once again but also to hear the choir sing again.

OPINION
Connected to your community
EDITORIAL
Let’s get into specifics
A
s the season of giving approaches, it’s fascinating to see how some charitable groups are working to connect Canadians to people in need. Instead of donating some cash to the general revenues of a charity – where it will no doubt be put to good use – Unicef will tell you what your donation can do in human terms. For example, your $50 can provide 20 litres of therapeutic milk to children in need. Oxfam gets even more specific. Give $15 and Oxfam will give a family in a developing country a chicken, which in turn provides them with eggs. You can give a sheep or goat too, which can supply wool or milk. Recently, the Lions Club in Kanata picked out a piece of equipment for the Ottawa Hospital Eye Institute that is expected to improve accuracy when doctors attempt to diagnose eye problems. What better way to get people behind a project than to set a goal of buying a specific item that will provide a specific, positive outcome? This straightforward way of contributing to a
cause allows donors to see their efforts being put to use. They know they are directly connected with the end result: one chicken, one family fed. Donors to food banks can feel the same connection because they know the can of corn or bag of oats they give will be cooked up and served at the table of a family in need of a little help. Money can obviously be put to use by the same food bank, but the connection is not the same. We see this desire to make a difference when an individual in our own community battles a serious disease. Suddenly a disease we’ve only heard of has a face and we realize this person is just like us. It’s only human to want to help them. Large charitable organizations must do even more to humanize their efforts. Large scale groups such as the United Way do good work, but they also create a layer of dispersal of funds that separates the giver from the person being assisted, and there is always the perception of some funds being used to keep the bureaucracy running. ’Tis the season to give.

eniors are supposed to be gullible and targets for scammers of all kinds. You read that all the time, about door-to-door fraudsters, phoney charities and, especially, computers.

After all, if you’re 70 now, that means you were 40 or so when computers came to be widely used in workplaces and in your 50s when the Internet entered our lives. But maybe scammers don’t know that.

been laid. It turns out that hanging up was exactly the right thing – as it almost always is. There are many nasty things about the Internet. One of the nicer things is it enables us to get information confirming we are not alone. It doesn’t take a lot of savvy to double-check before accepting any kind of offer and most people do, since it’s now so easy. But obviously some people don’t, which helps to make these scams profitable. And there will be new ones coming along, new reasons to double-check, new reasons to hang up. Are seniors extremely vulnerable to such scams? I doubt it, but it is probably true that older people are more trusting than younger ones. The people who are seniors now were not brought up to fear that everyone was trying to cheat them. They were brought up to take what people said at face value.

The downside of that is that they may be more likely to be scammed. The upside of that is that they don’t spend every waking minute in fear that someone is trying to take advantage of them. If that’s what vulnerability means, it beats the alternative.

Male voices at ladies’ concert Special to the News
News - It’s the Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus but that does not mean that you will not be hearing any male voices during the performance. That’s because thanks to an initiative of music director Robert Dueck, this upcoming concert will see a group of male voices, now called the West Ottawa Chorale, singing at times with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Introducing these male voices to the concert’s program will be adding a depth and richness and another layer of sound to the performance that will just make it all a more entertaining event. The West Ottawa Chorale will be among the performance guests at this “A Garland of Carols” concert on Saturday, Dec. 13 and Sunday, Dec. 14. Besides their performance with the Ladies Chorus, other music guest highlights of the concert will be a performance by the Trinity Handbell Quartet. A particular highlight will be when the Trinity Handbell Quartet joins the singers to perform the Christmas song “Still, Still, Still.” Robin Tropper, who plays the oboe, will be joining Gary King, a guitarist, in providing pre-performance entertainment at the concert. They will also be accompanying the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus in certain vocal numbers. It was music director Robert Dueck who discovered oboist Robin Tropper on LinkedIn. He in turn checked out the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus on YouTube. And now Robin Tropper is going to be providing his unique
sound and talents at the upcoming “A Garland of Carols” concert. It is unusual for male singers to be eager to sing with a ladies choir like the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus but the men of the new West Ottawa Chorale group all explain that they are doing this because they respect the quality that director Robert Dueck demands from his singers and that this in turn has made them demand more of themselves. This means being a member of the new West Ottawa Chorale which draws its members from a wide area including Ashton, Dunrobin, Carp, Kanata, Stittsville and Carleton Place. Don Snyder of the West Ottawa Chorale is excited to bring his bass to compliment the bright, lighter quality of the female voice as found with the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Bill Helmer, a tenor with the West Ottawa Chorale, is surprised that he is one of only two males among many female tenors but he is finding it to be a rewarding experience. As a former professional trumpeter, he is impressed by the versatility and variety of music that will be offered at this upcoming “A Garland of Carols” concert. This mix of religious, secular, calypso and jazz music is allowing the men of the West Ottawa Chorale to show their serious side as well as have fun. James McIntosh, another tenor with the West Ottawa Chorale, has been singing for over 20 years. He enjoys choral singing more than solo singing because of the inter-
action which happens with the audience. He really likes music that is fun, sometimes a little cheeky and is entertaining. This should be the case with the music offered in the upcoming concert. Jim Trouten of the West Ottawa Chorale finds personal satisfaction in going to senior residences to spread musical joy to those who cannot get out to a performance. David Steventon of the West Ottawa Chorale likes the atmosphere and camaraderie which exists with the group, finding it joyous and uplifting. Martin Edwards will be performing double duty at the concert, not only as a bass singer with the West Ottawa Chorale but also as a handbell ringer with the Trinity Handbell Quartet under the direction of Stuart Belson. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus Christmas concert “A Garland of Carols” will be presented on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and again 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. Tickets at $15 each are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart Plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville and at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata. There may also be some available at the door but it is advised to purchase tickets ahead of time since past performances of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus have been sold out and there may be no tickets available at the door.
The City congratulated 48 Ottawa residents during the inaugural Snow Angels Recognition Event held at Centrepointe Studio Theatre. A Snow Angel is a neighbour or friend who has volunteered to help someone who is elderly or has a disability, to improve their accessibility during the winter by clearing snow or ice from their driveway, steps or walkway. This year there were two recipients from Stittsville: Mike Shaver and Levi Clow. Congratulations to both and thank you for your generous and kind acts. To nominate a resident for recognition as a Snow Angel for next year, please visit ottawa.ca. RBC Free Public Skating Weekends Starting Saturday, November 29th, 2014 and until Sunday March 29th, 2015, all public skating sessions held in City arenas on Saturdays and Sundays are free again this winter, compliments of a sponsorship agreement between the City and RBC, as part of the City’s Community Champions Program. The RBC commitment is worth $285,000 over three years. Check public skating schedules on ottawa.ca for dates, times and locations. Ottawa to host 2017 Canadian Videogame Awards Mayor Jim Watson announced this week in an online video that Ottawa will host the Canadian Videogame Awards in 2017. Ottawa is currently home to 23 videogame companies and Canada is the third-largest producer of videogames in the world. The worldwide videogame market was worth an estimated $93 billion in 2013. The 2017 Canadian Videogame Awards gala will generate up to one million dollars in local economic benefits. The associated videogame championship is expected to bring many more visitors and consequently additional economic benefit. These events will also increase Ottawa’s international profile as a destination for innovative talent. Wildlife in the winter As wildlife begin to seek refuge in warm areas during this cold, ensure that any holes or spaces you may have on your property are properly filled to avoid any infestations in the coming months.

Newfoundland flavour served up at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - There was a Newfoundland flavour served at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. That’s because Rick Hayes, who was born and grew up in Newfoundland, was the headline performer, joined in his performance by R.W. Haller, a local songwriter and musician who will be producing Rick’s next record. R.W. accompanied Rick on the guitar and also sang backup vocals. And while the songs were not necessarily Newfoundland-based, they were songs written by this Newfoundlander, certainly giving them a Newfie connection. Rick was introduced to the world of music by his father back in Newfoundland. Around the age of 15, Rick started writing his own songs, many of which are born from his Newfoundland roots. The songs tend to combine a warm guitar sound with stories that tell about life situations. He has also been inspired by the country music of those like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams, so you get a mix of the two genres, country and Newfoundland folk, in his songs. Rick has a CD out called “Songs and Companions� which features a dozen of his songs. Rick was a little late arriving at the coffee shop for the 7 p.m. music evening, delayed in traffic by the Black Friday shoppers. Keeping to his Newfoundland roots, he joked that in reality he was early because he was operating on Newfoundland time which, of course, is a half hour earlier than in Ontario. But, no matter what his arrival time was, his performance made it well worth any delay to hear this son of Newfoundland deliver his musical offerings.

Old-Fashioned Christmas and Outdoor Artisan Market Special to the News
News - The Goulbourn Museum was the place to be last Sunday, Nov. 30. Even Santa Claus was there! It was the annual Old-Fashioned Christmas and Outdoor Artisan Market which was held at the Museum site at Stanley’s Corners, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A large white tent was set up which was the home for an assortment of vendors, selling everything from jewellery to pens to pottery to stained glass and more. The tent, which was surrounded by a row of hay bales, had straw spread intermittently around the floor, giving the interior a rural, rustic feel.
But there was more than just this giant tent. There was a fire pit area as well as an array of wooden toys set up for youngsters. Inside the Museum was where you could find Santa Claus and you could even have a photo taken with the red-suited jolly gentleman. Inside the Museum also had a spot where you could write a letter to Santa. There was even expert help available from the Calligraphy Society of Ottawa if you wanted to give the letter that extra fancy handwriting touch. Wood fire pizza was available on site as was hot chocolate and hot apple cider thanks to the Walmart Supercentre at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive.

Food Bank donation, West Ottawa Ladies Chorus performance John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stittsville Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri and former chair Robin Derrick left the Friendship Club’s Christmas luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 26 not only with armfuls of food donations for the Food Bank but also with a $1,000 donation. The $1,000 donation was a joint contribution from both the Friendship Club and from the Pretty Street Bridge Club, a program run by Ray and Barb Hoffman under the auspices of the Friendship Club. However, this Pretty Street Bridge Club shut down at the end of October due to declining participation. It was decided that the over $700 in funds that the Bridge Club had accumulated over the years would be turned over to the Stittsville Food Bank through the Friendship Club. The Friendship Club decided to top up the Bridge Club’s funds to make the donation an even $1,000 and it was this $1,000 that the Friendship Club handed over to Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri and former chair Robin

Derrick at the Nov. 26 luncheon. But in addition to being on hand to receive the donated funds, these Food Bank representatives also took away with them a wide variety of non-perishable food items which had been collected for the Food Bank at the luncheon. All those attending the luncheon had been urged to take along and donate a non-perishable food item for the Stittsville Food Bank. Generosity prevailed as Theresa and Robin had quite a load of food items to take away from the luncheon and deliver back to the Food Bank in Stittsville. Theresa and Robin both expressed the thanks and gratitude of the Food Bank for the donations from the Friendship Club at the luncheon, both the cash donation and the donated food items. The Friendship Club’s Christmas luncheon, which was held at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville, not only featured a turkey dinner with all the trimmings but also featured a performance by members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus under the direction of Robert Dueck. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is preparing for its annual Christmas concert entitled “A Garland of Carols” coming up on Saturday, Dec. 13 and Sunday, Dec. 14. So this performance at the Friendship Club’s Christmas luncheon was something of preview of this upcoming concert, with a number of the songs being ones that will be part of the concert program. So Friendship Club members got to hear, for instance, “The Calypso Carol,” a Calypso-beat tune. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be featuring a number of these Calypso-beat songs in its upcoming concert. But besides getting a taste of the music that will be presented at the upcoming concert, Friendship Club members at the luncheon also got to enjoy several singalong songs at this luncheon performance by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. These included “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “O Come All Yet Faithful,” and “Away In A Manger.”

News - It’s a “Charlie Brown Christmas tree” if there ever was one. But every year now for over a dozen years, this tiny Christmas tree has served as the Angel Tree at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Indeed, it is now readily recognized by parishioners as the church’s Angel Tree. And while it is small and scrawny looking as would befit that sympathetic cartoon character Charlie Brown, this tree has plenty of branches, making it perfect as an Angel Tree. And as the community grows, so too does the need for Angel Tree gifts and this year this Angel Tree at Holy Spirit Catholic Church is covered with white Angels, all with information about a needy gift recipients. This year, for the first time, gift cards are being sought instead of wrapped presents. Any denomination from any variety of stores is appreciated. Those taking an Angel from the tree at the
Holy Spirit Catholic Church masses last weekend have been asked to return the gift cards and the Angel by Monday, Dec. 8, placing them in a box beside the tree in the church atrium. These gift cards will then be placed in the Christmas hampers that are prepared by the Stittsville Food Bank for distribution to families in need this Christmas. 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.

Exchange student from Italy at Sacred Heart John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Eleonora Viola has always wanted to live in another country, improving her English and learning about the country. Well, right now the 17 year old grade 11 student is doing just that as she is spending five months in Canada and more specifically in Stittsville where she is living with a local family and is attending Sacred Heart Catholic High School as an international exchange student. She arrived in Canada at the end of August, coming from her hometown of Latina, a city of some 115,000 inhabitants located 62 kilometers south of Rome. She had started looking for an exchange opportunity last year, taking an exam to determine if her English language skills were good enough for participation in such an experience. She admits that when she arrived in Stittsville, her English was, in her words, “good but not so good.” She says that it has been improving a lot since being in Stittsville, especially her listening skills as she initially found it somewhat difficult to understand what people were saying since normal conversational talk does not follow the rules and grammar which she had learned in her English studies. Schooling in Canada is different than in her homeland of Italy. In Italy, a student can choose a school but each school specializes in certain subjects. For instance, her school in Italy specializes in the humanistic subjects such as Latin, Creek and philoso-
Eleonora Viola phy. She says that she loves such subjects, admitting that she is not good at the scientific subjects. Eleonora says that in Italy, a student has to study a lot. In her case, this leads to a lot of nighttime study since she is also an avid volleyball player, an activity which consumes a lot of her afternoon time. She says that she plays volleyball just for fun, adding that she has a good arm for serving the ball and also is good at spiking the ball. She likes the Canadian system in which a student in high school can choose their courses from a wide variety of subjects. She finds schooling here in Canada a lot more organized than in Italy. She also notes that Sacred Heart has a lot more electronic equipment available than would a school in Italy. Students in Italy also have to attend school on Saturdays. Eleonora says that the exchange experience has been
better than she expected and says that she does not think much about home back in Italy, although she stays constantly in touch with her friends there via voice messages. She says that she has found everything to be so beautiful in Canada that she has not missed her home country as much as might have been the case. She has found that the students at Sacred Heart have been really nice to her, calling them all very friendly. She has even found the food in Canada to be quite good. She had thought that it might not be so good, especially since a trip that she made to England last year in which she found the food to be terrible. But she has found food in Canada to be really good, with lots of vegetables used. She says that in Italy, pasta is the food eaten every day. One thing that Eleonora is doing while here in Stittsville is taking singing lessons. She likes to sing but back home in Italy, she could never find the time to pursue singing. But here, with the different approach to schooling, she finds that she has more time and so she is taking singing lessons. Her teacher thinks that she has a good singing voice. Here in Stittsville, Eleonora is living with a Stittsville family which has a daughter also in grade 11 at Sacred Heart who will be going on an exchange of her own to Australia in 2015. She says that she has developed a really good relationship with her host family and foresees staying in contact with them in the future. Indeed, she hopes that the family can travel to Italy for a visit and
that she will be able to re-visit them in Canada in the future. Indeed, she says that one of her biggest dreams is to live in Canada. Eleonora has been busy since coming to Canada on this exchange as she and her host family have visited Toronto, Waterloo and Niagara Falls, among other places, have attended hockey and
football games, have visited museums and have otherwise stayed busy. At Christmas, she will be going with the family on a trip to the Barbados. Eleonora thinks that she would like to be a psychologist or something in that vein in the future. However, she is not totally sure but feels that there is still lots of time to decide, especially since high school in
Italy includes a grade 13 year. Eleonora will be returning to Italy at the end of January. She notes that in Italy, people mainly live in apartments whereas here in Stittsville, everyone lives in a separate house. She has enjoyed seeing the Christmas lights put up on the houses, saying that this does not happen as much back home in Italy.

Farewell to Vivien Daly News - The Richmond Agricultural Society said farewell to its longtime treasurer Vivien Daly at a retirement gathering in her honour in the lounge at the Richmond Curling Club. The lounge area was jammed with Richmond Fair associates, friends and community members for what Vivien herself, in her remarks to the group, called a “memorable day.” She said that she never imagined that there would be a party like this held to mark her retirement after serving for 44 years as the treasurer of the Richmond Agricultural Society. Richmond Agricultural Society president Gerd Lohmann called Vivien the Society’s “treasurer extrodinaire” as he led off a series of presentations to her at the event. He presented her with an award marking her 44 years as the Society’s treasurer, remarking on her great insight into the workings of a fall fair. He noted that Vivien, while retiring as the Society’s trea-
surer, will be remaining on the Fair Board, continuing to look after the admission gates. Carol Demjan, on behalf of the Homecraft Division of the Agricultural Society, presented Vivien with a gift of appreciation from the Homecraft folks. David Brown, representing federal Nepean-Carleton MP the Hon. Pierre Poilievre, presented Vivien with a certificate of appreciation and honour for her long service as treasurer of the Agricultural Society. Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren was on hand, praising Vivien for spending 44 years contributing to the Richmond Fair as its treasurer. He presented Vivien with a certificate of honour from himself as the MPP. City of Ottawa RideauGoulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt presented Vivien with a framed letter of commendation from the city of Ottawa for her long service to the Agricultural Society. Other speakers at the retirement gathering included for-

mer Richmond Fair president Kelvin Burnett, current Agricultural Society vice-president Ian Stackhouse and John Curry, editor of the Stittsville News, all of whom praised Vivien for her guidance, her friendship and her community involvement. In her remarks at the gathering, Vivien gave a brief history of her 44 years of involvement with the Agricultural Society as its treasurer, noting that she had worked with 25 presidents and 17 Homecraft head ladies over the years. She told of how the Society’s budget has grown from a few thousand dollars in 1970 when she started to a figure of almost half a million dollars today. She told of how buildings had been replaced or built on the fairgrounds over the years, including the Richmond Curling Club facility in which the retirement reception was behind held. She thanked the employers in the community for whom she had worked and their understanding when she took her vacation at the same time every year so she could work on Fair matters. These employers included J. Don Green Electric, Riverside Holdings, Ralph and Milton Electric, Glenlyn Homes and Richmond Motors/My Car. Vivien mentioned how proud she was of her children Sandra and Stephen who so readily shared her with the Fair over the years while also embracing the Fair themselves. She noted that two of her grandsons are junior directors with the Society. At the gathering, there were lots of opportunities for those attending to chat with Vivien and wish her all the best. There was a visitor book which people could sign and extend their best wishes and congratulations to her. Providing background music at the event was Paul Duplantis on the keyboard. Paul is a former Richmond Fair president who now lives in Ingleside. Vivien admitted at the gathering that she really enjoys Paul’s musical offerings. Vivien retires as the Agricultural Society treasurer at the end of this year, with the position being assumed by Janet Hawkins who has been receiving training from Vivien herself.

Bluegrass music at McKnight family fundraiser John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Bluegrass music was in the air at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Nov. 27. But also filling the room was the love and generosity of those in the capacity crowd who were there not only to enjoy an evening of topnotch entertainment featuring three bluegrass bands as well as four-time Canadian Grand Masters fiddle champion and eight-time Canadian Open fiddle champion Louis Schryer but also to support the McKnight family of West Carleton in its battle to help six year old Liam McKnight overcome the impact of Dravet Syndrome on his life. Dravet Syndrome is a genetic disorder of Chromosome 2, causing epilepsy and other neurological and development problems. Dravet Syndrome accounts for one percent of those suffering from epilepsy. Since he was nine months old, Liam has suffered up to 50 seizures a day. Pharmaceuticals can help but there are costs involved and that’s why this fundraiser was organized. Don Fletcher, who works with Liam’s father Dave at Hydro Ottawa and was a chief organizer of this fundraiser, serving as the event’s MC, explained the purpose for the evening best in his opening remarks when he said: “We’re here to help the McKnight family battle some
of those costs.� The costs referred to are costs for Liam’s care and treatment including the costs of pharmaceuticals. It was uncertain at the beginning of the evening if Liam would be in attendance as he was suffering from an ear infection that day. But Liam, his parents Dave and Mandy and his sisters all did attend, much to everyone’s delight. Besides the entertainment, the evening featured a silent auction organized under the guidance of Marion Gullock. There was also a 50/50 draw which ended up with a $337.50 prize to the winner as well as several draws for prizes such as a mug full of chocolate and two bottles of wine. The Stittsville District Lions Club provided the use of the Lions Hall for the event and also ran the bar while Casa Dei Panini House of Sandwiches and Broadway Bar & Grill from Riverside South provided the catering for the event. The three bluegrass bands as well as fiddler Louis Schryer all donated their time for the fundraiser. The sound for the concert was handled by David Hauraney. The bluegrass bands included The Backsliders with Don Fletcher on fiddle, Terry McDonald on acoustic bass and vocals, Jay McDonald on mandolin and vocals, Warren Recoskie on guitar and vocals and Ed Sexton on guitar and vocals; See BENEFIT, page 27

It was fiddling champion Louis Schryer who led off the entertainment, performing a number of tunes with the guitar backing of Pat McLaughlin. Indeed, in some respects, their performance was something like the memorable “Dueling Banjos” segment in the 1972 movie “Deliverance,” except in this case it was Louis’ fiddle dueling against Pat’s guitar. Louis and Pat also played when stepdancers Dawn Dewar and Miteau Butskhrikidze took to the floor and danced up a storm with their flying feet.

Church on Flewellyn Road in Goulbourn.
‘Operation Christmas Spirit’ provides gifts, dinners John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The name says it all: “Operation Christmas Spirit.” It is a local not-for-profit organization based in Kanata that provides gifts and Christmas dinner to families that are struggling and in need. It’s an example of the true spirit of Christmas in action. The group held a wrapping party at the chapel Ridge Free Methodist Church on Flewellyn Road in Goulbourn last Saturday where volunteers wrapped more than 900 gifts in preparation for their delivery to this year’s receiving families. Tables were set up in the church’s worship area where volunteers such as Johanne Vincent wrapped one gift after another. This was Johanne’s first time helping out “Operation Christmas Spirit” but she says that it will be doing it again. The gifts provided to families are all appro-
priate to the particular recipients. Some supporters of “Operation Christmas Spirit” provide cash donations while others provide the actual gifts needed. Meggan Larson of Kanata, who is the president of Operation Christmas Spirit, started the organization in Dec. 2011 after seeing posts on kijiji offering Christmas turkey dinners to families in need. She thought that it was a good idea and she and her husband Rob decided to provide a few meals. They also decided to include some gently used toys that her daughter had. Family and friends were also involved and all of the label tags on the gifts bore the phrase “Love, Jesus.” Tagging the gifts in this way continues to this day. On that first Christmas in 2011, gifts and dinners were delivered on Christmas Eve, helping 7 to 10 people. What stood out for Meggan is that all those who received the help were so grateful for it. A few weeks later, Meggan was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer, re-

quiring immediate chemotherapy treatment. She and her husband are both self-employed, so family finances were tight. But people in her Kanata community rallied around her, providing a freezer full of meals, clothing, diapers for her children and gift cards. There was even a fundraiser held to provide a more reliable vehicle for the family. This experience introduced Meggan to a lot of caring people and when December came around again, she put out the word to see if any of them wanted to help others at Christmas time. She received an incredible and positive response, with her fledgling “Operation Christmas Spirit” group growing and able to help not
just 7 to 10 people like before but over 200 people. Indeed, to date, “Operation Christmas Spirit” has now helped over 400 people and this year will add lots more to that total. Last year, a total of 34 families involving 166 individuals were helped by “Operation Christmas Spirit.” Indeed, Meggan now hopes to see “Operation Christmas Spirit” expand to other areas and cities in the future.

CD ‘Why We Sing’ is ideal as gift that keeps giving Special to the News
News - A Christmas gift that would keep on giving through its songs is the CD “Why We Sing” by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. This is the first CD put out by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, a musical group which was founded back in 1977. These CD’s are available at $15 each. For more information about the CD and how to get it, please check out the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers website
at www.gjsingers.com. Several years ago, a survey of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers membership identified many reasons why the members sing. This spawned the CD project which celebrates the diverse repertoire that the group sings. The selections on the CD reflect the many joys and benefits that members have taken from their choral experience with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. Production of the CD was supported by the city of Ot-
tawa through a Rural Community Building grant and an Ottawa Arts Funding grant. The CD also was made possible thanks to the generous support of many community members and businesses. Some Goulbourn Jubilee Singers members and families supported the CD project by sponsoring a track in honour of someone special to them. Silent auctions were also held at CD launch concerts, with support from Goulbourn Jubilee Singers members and many area businesses.

These are Doug Robertson who has been the secretary for the past two years; Theresa Qadri who has been the vice-president; and Christine Hartig who has been a director. In making these presentations, Mr. Sweetnam said that the volunteerism which these three have shown is an example of why the Stittsville community is different than other places due to the volunteer spirit that prevails in the community. He said that these three are among the many who have done so much over the years to make sure that the SVA has served the community well.

News - Players for the peewee and bantam girls hockey Rockets teams of the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association got a first hand look at how the Stittsville Food Bank operates last Friday. Players from both teams visited the Food Bank where they got to sort donated food items and also check the items for their expiration
dates. The Food Bank is very careful in ensuring that all of the food items that it handles are well within their expiration dates. This is a busy time at the Stittsville Food Bank as it is not only collecting and preparing for the Christmas food hampers which it provides to all of its clients but also in meeting the ever-increasing ongoing needs of the less fortunate in the community.
Here and there around village of Richmond News – The musical group “Smokey Rose” is calling it quits after almost 17 years of performing throughout the Ottawa Valley. Darlene Thibault, one of the three member group which performs traditional and contemporary country music, is moving to Alberta which is why the group is wrapping up. “Smokey Rose” originally consisted of the duo of Darlene Thibault and Lee Hodgkinson with Ed Ashton joining the group in 2010, adding his bass playing and vocal talents. “Smokey Rose” had over 200 songs in its repertoire, giving them wide appeal to audiences. There will be still one local opportunity to hear and enjoy “Smokey Rose” as there will be a Smokey Rose Farewell Performance on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 8 p.m. to 12 midnight at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) hall at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road. It was in June 2006 that “Smokey Rose” released its debut CD full of country classics. The CD was produced by Keith Glass of Prairie Oyster and engineered and mixed by Jon Wingerden at the Au-
dio Valley Recording Studio….The Richmond District Lions Club is already planning for another fundraising duck race on the Jock River next spring. Tickets at $10 each should be on sale soon….Richmond single dad Myles Dear and his son Kyram, who is eight and is living with numerous severe disabilities, of Richmond were featured on the 6 p.m. newscast on CTV Ottawa on Wednesday, Nov. 26. Myles is trying to raise $65,000 through a crowd funding initiative, funding that is needed to allow Kyram to continue to have the care he needs while Myles appeals his son’s situation to the province, seeking more financial assistance. Up until now, Myles has been able to meet the expenses involved in his son’s care that are not covered by provincial health care by using the insurance money received after the death of his late wife Simone in 2011. But now this funding has run out and Myles is looking for new ways to support his child. Keeping a skilled caregiving team to help is son is vital, not only because of the progress that such care is facilitating in his
son but also because without such a team to help him care for his son, he risks losing his job, his house and the stable environment on which his son depends. Kyram has a bright mind, charisma and a winning attitude. Despite his disability challenges and with the help of his trained caregivers, Kyram has progressed from a pre-kindergarten to a grade two reading/writing level within the past year. He has done this even though he cannot even hold a pencil. He has found a way to communicate via eye blink and tongue click. Myles does not want to see his son’s progress slowed down or stopped due to a lack of funding. This is why he is searching for a long term solution to his present funding crisis. Myles and Kyram do receive help from King’s Your Independent Grocer of Richmond which helps the family by doing its shopping, doing some food preparation and delivering the groceries to the home. This saves Myles several hours each week which is time that he can then spend with Kyram. This arrangement was facilitated by Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa, a registered
charitable organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities participate fully in community life. Its website can be found at www. citizenadvocacy.org. For more information about Myles and Kyram or to get involved in a community support network for Kyram, please contact Andrea Podruski, a program manager for Citizen Advocacy of ottawa, at 613-761-9522, ext. 229 or via email at apodruski@citizenadvocacy.org. Myles and Kyram were also featured in a report on CBC Radio last Monday morning where it was explained about the intensive care that Kyram needs. While some costs are covered by provincial funding, some costs are not, including additional disability support care since Myles, who is a software engineer, works until 7 p.m., requiring extra support while he is away at work. Myles has turned to crowdfunding and so far has raised $40,000 with the goal being $65,000. This would provide the funding for a year of the required extra care for Kyram. This would provide Myles with more time to seek additional provincial government funding to
help with Kyram’s care…The new Richmond Youth Centre at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road opened for the first time last Friday evening, Nov. 28. This Richmond Youth Centre is free for youth from ages 12 to 16 to attend. It will be operating on the second and fourth Friday of each month from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. There will be sports, games, art, food and more.

Gingerbread family Christmas party in Richmond News - Creating gingerbread houses is a Christmas tradition for many. One opportunity for this is at the annual gingerbread family Christmas party which will be held on Saturday, Dec. 13 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at St. John’s Anglican Church hall in Richmond. Cost is $20 per family which will include a gingerbread house, candy, snacks and a visit from Santa Claus. Tickets should be purchased in advance as there will only be a limited number of tickets available at the door. For tickets, please contact Christine Ormsby at 613-838-6019 or via email at
scormsby4000@sympatico.ca. The tradition of making decorated gingerbread houses started in Germany in the early 1800s. According to certain researchers, the first gingerbread houses were the result of the well-known Grimm’s fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” in which the two children abandoned in the forest found an edible house made of bread with sugar decorations. After this book was published, German bakers began baking ornamented fairy-tale houses of gingerbread. These became popular during Christmas, a tradition that came to America with Pennsylvanian German immigrants. According to other food historians, the Grimm brothers were speaking about some-
thing that already existed. In modern times the tradition has continued in certain places in Europe. In Germany the Christmas markets still sell decorated gingerbread before Christmas. Making gingerbread houses is still a way of celebrating Christmas in many families. They are built traditionally before Christmas using pieces of baked gingerbread dough assembled with melted sugar. The roof tiles can consist of frosting or candy. The gingerbread house yard is usually decorated with icing to represent snow. A gingerbread house does not have to be an actual house, although it is the most common. It can be anything from a castle to a small
cabin, or another kind of building, such as a church, an art museum, or a sports stadium, and other items, such as cars, gingerbread men and gingerbread women, can be made of gingerbread dough. Since 1991, the people of Bergen in Norway, have built a city of gingerbread houses each year before Christmas. It is claimed to be the world’s largest such city. Every child under the age of 12 can make their own house at no cost with the help of their parents. In 2013, a group in Bryan, Texas broke the Guinness World Record for the largest gingerbread house, with a 2,520-square-foot edible-walled house in aid of a hospital trauma centre.

Blood donor clinics in Richmond and Stittsville Special to the News
News - Two community blood donor clinics are coming up this month, one in Stittsville and one in Richmond. Canadian Blood Services is hosting these clinics. The blood donor clinic in Richmond will take place on Monday, Dec. 15 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the St. Philip Parish Hall at the corner of Fortune Street and Burke Street in Richmond. The blood donor clinic in Stittsville will take place on Wednesday, Dec. 17 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School
on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. To book an appointment to give blood at either of these community blood donor clinics, please visit the website www. blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-236-6283). There is always a need for blood donations, especially when a major holiday time like Christmas is approaching, and the need is ongoing. It often requires numerous units of blood to help just one patient. Every minute of every day, someone in hospital in Canada is getting a blood transfusion. That’s why the need for blood
donations is constant and ongoing. Blood that is donated has a definite shelf life of five days for platelets and 42 days for red cells. It cannot be stored forever. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means that 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are usu-
ally needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. Yes, the need continues and only you can make the difference, only you can give the gift of life, a blood donation. Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all of the provinces and territories except for Quebec which has a separate organization, Hema-Quebec, which does the same thing. Canadian Blood Services operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year.

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

More than rehearsals Special to the News
News - There’re rehearsals but they are more than that. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, in preparing for its upcoming Christmas concert, is rehearsing twice a week. But the Ladies Chorus is sharing its music at these rehearsals by holding its rehearsals in various seniors residences in the area. Many of the elderly at these residences are not mobile enough to attend external performances, so the rehearsals become a way of taking the toy of Christmas music right to them where they live. The smiles, comments and applause provided to the Ladies Chorus are reward enough for the Chorus members and director Robert Dueck. And it gives the Ladies Chorus members great delight when they hear the seniors joining in and singing along with some of the carols. While these are just rehearsals, the seniors who hear them would disagree, calling them great performances. In any case, this is how the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is spreading the joy of Christmas while also preparing for their upcoming concert. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be singing traditional carols, Christmas melodies and, are you ready for it, swinging Caribbean Calypso numbers in the concert. There will be two performances of the Christmas concert. There will be one on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 7 p.m. and then another on Sunday, Dec. 14 at 2:30 p.m., both at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. Tickets at $15 each are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville as well as at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata. It is recommended that tickets be purchased in advance because there may not be any left for sale at the door given the past history of these concerts which has been sold out events. Christmas caroling is a tradition passed down from generation to generation celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The Ladies Chorus is very much a part of this tradition with the program that the group is offering at this year’s concert. Christmas carols became associated with Christmas in the 13th century. The tradition of visiting the homes of others at Christmas time emerged over the centuries. The two traditions of singing and visiting first began in Victorian England as church carols merged with Christian folk music.
Singing at Bridlewood Trails Special to the News
News - Residents at the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community got an advance glimpse of the Christmas music that will be presented at the annual Christmas concert of the Goulbourn Male Chorus coming up this weekend, Dec. 6 and 7. The Goulbourn Male Chorus sang about eight pieces of Christmas music from its concert program at a performance at the Bridlewood Trails Retirement Community

From the Classroom to the Courtroom: What it means to be an articling student I’ve been asked a number of times to explain what it means to be an articling student. To shed some light on the topic, I looked no further than one of our firm’s current articling students, Fanni Csaba. Here’s what she had to say: Becoming a licensed lawyer involves a three steps. First, you complete a 3 year long law school degree. Second, you write your bar exams. Finally, you fulfill a 10-month long term as an articling student. What do articling students do? As an articling student, you are a lawyer-in-training. At this stage of your legal education, while working under the supervision of an Articling Principal, you are given the opportunity to apply your knowledge to real life situations. You learn how conduct legal research, engage in advocacy, and if you’re lucky, you may even have clients of your own. Whether you choose to article at a law firm, governmental agency, or not-for-profit organization, this experience is invaluable to help you make your transition from the classroom to the courtroom.

How do you get an articling job? You apply for an articling position the same way you would for any job. You find employers that you think would appreciate your strengths, send in your resumé, and go in for interviews. The Law Society of Upper Canada also recently launched the Law Practise Program (LPP), which satisfies this portion of the licensing process by having students complete a course and a placement. Both the articling and LPP options ensure that you receive enough experiential learning to be ready to take on your new career as a licensed lawyer. What’s next? After you’ve completed law school, passed your bar exams, and fulfilled the 10-month long articling program, you are officially ready to be called to the bar as a licensed lawyer. At this point, your future is in your own hands. You can apply to continue work at the firm you articled for, or can check out other employment opportunities. Either way, the process of becoming a lawyer is now complete. Congratulations, let your journey as a lawyer begin!

Bridgehead coffee at new CC’s Coffee & Curios shop John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Bridgehead coffee is now available in Richmond. It is the featured coffee at the new CC’s Coffee & Curios shop which has just opened in Richmond. Owned and operated by Savannah and Cameron Kallos, CC’s offers not only the well-known Bridgehead coffee but also is a coffee shop that prepares all of its coffee offerings by hand. It is the belief of Cameron, who was exposed to the vibrant coffee scene in British Columbia before moving East after meeting Savannah, that great tasting coffee can only be prepared by hand – it cannot be done via a machine only. But CC’s Coffee & Curios shop is also unique not only in its coffee products but also in that it is a combination coffee shop and antiques shop. And, believe it or not, the combination works! The antiques not only bring back memories for customers and get them talking about the past but also provide a one-of-a-kind backdrop for the coffee shop. Savannah and Cameron love both coffee and antiques and so having a combined coffee shop/antiques shop just makes sense to them. Both are longtime avid antique collectors with an antique shop once considered a retirement dream. But the dream became reality much earlier in life for them as they decided to open the new CC’s Coffee & Curios shop. It is located on Lennox Street just off Perth Street – in fact, right behind Royals Restaurant, where CC’s Coffee
& Curios shop is occupying the south half of the building which also houses Duffy’s Tavern. The space, which had been unused except for storage for several years, is owned by Savannah’s mother, Cecile El Kassis, who supported having the new coffee and antiques shop there. Indeed, Savannah notes that the shop’s name CC’s, is named after her mother Cecile
whose nickname since opening Tony’s Chip Wagon in Richmond with her late husband Tony El Kassis has been “CC.” Savannah, who grew up working at the chip wagon, still works there, helping out her mother. It was Cameron along with some friends who transformed the space into the attractive area it is today. Old barn board lumber used in the renovation came from an old barn on Malakoff Road which at one time
belonged to Savannah’s father Tony. Savannah and Cameron had talked about opening the combined coffee/antiques shop for about a year before taking the plunge. Cameron gave up his job and spent three months on the renovation, eventually producing what he calls a “super quirky place” that stands out. See CC’s COFFEE, page 40

CCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee & Curios shop Continued from page 39
John Curry/Metroland
Cameron Kallos of the new CCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee & Curios shop in Richmond believes that coffee prepared by hand is the best tasting coffee and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the new shop features â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coffee prepared by hand, not totally by machine.
He is hoping that the shop becomes a place which Richmond and area will want to visit and where they will feel comfortable and at home. CCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee & Curios offers not only hand-prepared Bridgehead coffee but also offers tea, sandwiches and soups. In addition, it offers baked goods like tarts from the Crusty Baker in Kemptville including fresh bread from this bakery on the weekends. Right now, CCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee & Curios is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week. Hours may change a little in the future depending on customer traffic as the business grows. Offering Bridgehead coffee is a big plus for the new shop as it is a well known cof-
fee brand which up until now has really just been available in downtown Ottawa. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available in Richmond, even in bulk. Savannah and Cameron set up the shop so that it was not cramped but featured space to move around. This was done so that people could move around and look at the antiques on sale throughout the shop. Indeed, it was a customer which provided the shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first small table for customers, a table which was replaced by another larger table also donated by a customer. This larger table still remains in the shop, providing seating in addition to several chairs which line the front window area of the shop. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still plenty of open space around the shop. In keeping with the antique atmosphere, old-time vinyl records are played at CCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Coffee & Curios shop. Cameron has an extensive record collection, with many on sale at the shop. Both Cameron and Savannah believe that the presence of antiques in the shop gets people talking rather than checking their cell phones, dredging up memories inspired by the antiques. They both hope that the shop has a real warm atmosphere that people will enjoy. Cameron says that the experience so far with this new business combining coffee and antiques has been fun. Bridgehead coffee shops in Ottawa have expanded by one outlet in 2000 to more than a dozen at present. It is known for its fair trade coffee and its organic teas. In 2006, Bridgehead was voted as Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Coffee/Tea Houseâ&#x20AC;? by readers of Ottawa Xpress, a lifestyle weekly publication.

Parade of Lights features many glittering floats Continued from page 43
Once again this year, the Re/Max float with its periodic “hot air balloon” releases of flames into the night sky wowed the onlookers along the parade route who not only basked in the glow of the flames but also felt its warming impact. But there were so many glittering floats in the parade, filled with happy riders waving and sending out Christmas greetings or also decorated with inflated charters like snowmen, Santa Claus and reindeer. Indeed, the Deschenes Poitras Dental Centre float featured a giant white reindeer and when we say giant, we mean huge, huge. But the parade also featured music provided by some of the floats. The Paul Rushforth Real Estate float with its cabin and flashing “sold” sign had the added attraction of music such as “Run, Run Rudolph.” It was not the only float with music – City of Ottawa councillor Shad Qadri’s flatbed float also featured music as did the seasonally-decorated Giant Tiger train float with the catchy “Jingle Bell Rock.” The Main Street Community Services float also featured music, as did the radio float of the Jump 106.9 station. The Stittsville Legion float also had a music component as did the Stittsville Minor Hockey Rams float. Once again this year, the Brown’s Your Independent Grocer float was a showstopper with its size, its lights and its music. Santa Claus, riding in the bucket of an Ottawa Fire Services ladder truck, was the final entry in the parade, waving to one and all as he moved along Stittsville Main Street. It took 45 minutes for the parade to leave the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s depot property on Stittsville Main Street starting at 6 p.m. and head south on a Stittsville Main Street lined with onlookers. The parade route ended at Carleton Cathcart Street where St. Thomas Anglican Church is located. Among the other floats and entries in this year’s Stittsville Parade of Lights which was again organized by the Stittsville Village Association included those of the Arnprior Pipes
and Drums; Rona, Lowes, St. John Ambulance, federal MP Pierre Poilievre, the Community Bible Church with four musicians playing and singing on the float, Kanata Ford, Wine Villa, The Renovator with a float featuring an inflated Snoopy and a host of candy cane lights, St. Stephen Catholic School, Westwind Public School, Paul Davis Systems Restoration, the Facilities Department of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, the Holy Spirit Parish Knights of Columbus, Stittsville Beavers, Stittsville United Church with a float featuring angels and stars, the Stittsville District Lions Club float, the Stittsville Scouting Float, the Specialty Care Granite Ridge van, an Adam Kittle Snowplowing tractor, an Ontario Provincial Police vehicle with lights flashing, Dragonluck Kennels, Markham Flooring, Drain All with a tank truck, Kodiak Snowblowing, Ecole JeanPaul II, the Ottawa Carleton Lifeskills van, the radio station Boom 99.7 entry, Rental Village, Guardian Angels Catholic School with lit angels on the rear corners of the float, Metal Supermarket, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, a Air One Mechanical Services truck, Stittsville Child Care Centre, Brown Bear Day Care, the vintage Goulbourn fire truck with a snowman in a bubble riding atop it, and several Ottawa Fire Services vehicles with their lights flashing and sirens sometimes sounding. The Stittsville District Lions Club had a JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND trailer float in the parade in which to place nonperishable food items which were collected by On a float in the Christmas Parade of Lights in Stittsville last Saturday evening are, from Lions Club members as they walked alongside left, Romantic Barnes, Jerry Chen, Isobel Brown and Ben Brown. the trailer. These donated food items were being collected for the Stittsville Food Bank. Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club also walked along the parade route collecting monetary donations for the Food Bank. Following the parade, the centre of attention shifted to Village Square Park where there was entertainment and where the Christmas lights which have been placed in the tree branches at the park were switched on for the first time, marking the beginning of the Christmas season in Stittsville. These lights are maintained each year by the Stittsville District Lions Club members.

Christmas atmosphere at upcoming euchre party Special to the News
News - Playing euchre is fun. Playing euchre in a hall adorned with Christmas decorations. Awesome. Playing euchre and then enjoying refreshments and treats that are a bit more special than normal due to the coming of Christmas. Priceless. But this will all be the case at the next euchre party being held at the St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond this coming Wednesday, Dec. 10. It’s being made an extra festive evening since it will be the last of the euchre
parties held at St. Philip’s Parish Hall before Christmas. These euchre parties are held every two weeks, with the last one held on Wednesday, Nov. 26 at which Shelly Calhoun emerged with the high score. Heather Murphy, who had the high score at half time, ended up placing second on the evening. It was all men after Heather, with Vincent O’Connor finishing in third place, George Murphy ending up in fourth place and Ray Code grabbing
fifth place. The share-the-wealth winners were Madeleine Purdy, Eileen Kavanagh and Lloyd Gervais. The consolation prize for the evening went to Barb Lewis while Phyllis Carrigan won the door prize. As you can see, there are lots of prizes available at these euchre parties at St. Philip’s Parish Hall. And even if you do not take home a prize, you still get to enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre, while also enjoying food
and refreshments. You just can’t beat that! And this upcoming euchre on Wednesday, Dec. 10 will be truly memorable, taking place in a hall boasting Christmas decorations and with a special serving of food and holiday treats that in themselves will be a reason to attend. Everyone is, of course, most welcome to attend this euchre party at St. Philip’s Parish Hall on Wednesday, Dec. 10 starting at 7:30 p.m. It promises to be a festive and fun eve-
ning. There is a $5 admission fee but, remember – this also includes the refreshments and holiday treats, served in a hall decorated for the Christmas season. You can’t help but be in the Christmas spirit at this euchre party! The St. Philip’s Parish Hall is located at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond. For more information about this upcoming euchre party, please phone 613-489-3996.

Three goals in third period sink Rams Special to the News
Sports - Twice the Stittsville Rams came back to tie up the game before a three goal outburst by the Clarence Beavers later in the third period gave the Beavers a 5-2 victory over the Rams in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League action last Saturday. It was the first game of the five-game Metro Valley Fall Showcase which was staged at the Barbara Ann Scott Arena in Ottawa. The Stittsville Rams/Clarence Beavers started off the Showcase, with play underway at 9:30 a.m. After Clarence Beavers open the scoring and took a 1-0 lead into the second period, the Rams scored early in the second period to knot the game at 1-1. Jordan Boutillier scored for the Rams, with Talmadge Farnes picking up an assist. But it was only one minute and 39 seconds later, at the 3:47 mark of the second period, that the Clarence Beavers again took a one goal lead, scoring on a power play. This is how the second period ended, with the Clarence Beavers ahead by a 2-1 score. At the 7:38 mark of the third period, the Rams scored to tie up the game.

Questions, not conflict, at pipeline open house Joseph Morin
joe.morin@metroland.com
The open house about the proposed new Energy East pipeline held at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville on Tuesday evening, Nov. 18 featured more questions than conflict from interested area residents. Earlier in the week, leaked reports that Trans Canada , the company behind the Energy East proposal, was developing a public relations strategy that targeted opposition groups, and individuals, had caused some concern that various environmental groups would confront Energy East representatives at the open house. The response from Ottawa groups such as Ecology Ottawa and more locally, members of Sustainable North Grenville was muted. Tim Duboyce, the spokesperson
for Energy East, said the report that everyone was talking about was only a series of recommendations and his company would never consider doing anything like the recommendations suggested they do, to advance their cause. “We flatly refused to apply some of them,” said Duboyce. He did say that he felt there was nothing wrong if a politician or municipality wanted to express a personal positive take on the Energy East pipeline plan. He said there would never be any remuneration involved for any persons or organizations promoting the project because they believed in it. Critics of the pipeline were not comforted by Energy East’s admission. Duboyce said it mattered a great deal if the public had concerns. “We want to be part of the community,” he said. “No third party advo-
Friendship Club AGM in January Special to the News

Members are urged to phone

This January luncheon will also be the Club’s annual general meeting and will have Peter Sinclair providing the entertainment following the meeting.

cates that you see on our website or on television are being remunerated for saying positive things about this project,” he said. Ben Powless, the pipeline community organizer for Ecology Ottawa spoke with Duboyce along with Tom Graham, a member of Sustainable North Grenville. Both felt that regardless of what was going on regarding any public relations strategy, the plan to run oil from Alberta, through Ontario was flawed. Powless said the carbon footprint created by getting at all that oil trapped in the Alberta tar sands out and off to the east coast, made the project a dangerous one for all concerned. Graham said he was against the pipeline project, not only because of the overall carbon generating issue, but because the plan was not quite as straightforward as the company was presenting
it. He said despite the information available at the open house as well as several others he had attended, he was still not convinced the pipeline was both safe and necessary. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt was also at the open house. He said he had attended the other open houses to get a sense of what the project was all about. Moffatt believes it is the role of the city to express any concerns that residents have about the project to Energy East at the appropriate time. The oil pipeline will run through the Rideau-Goulbourn ward. “This is a great opportunity to ask questions,” said Powless. “We asked them about some of the recent controversy about their public relations firm firm and we asked them about their safety record.

Shoppers use print flyers Special to the News
News - Ideas for holiday gifts come from various sources. In the digital world, places from Pinterest to Instagram offer places where shoppers can go to discover great gift ideas. But a new study has shown that social media does not have a monopoly on being a source for gift ideas. This new study has revealed that almost half of Ontario shoppers have used print flyers as a source of gift giving inspiration. The study also shows that while people may be spending more time online than ever before, 97 percent of Ontario shoppers still read and trust printed flyers. Indeed, 86 percent of shoppers admit to taking the time to read flyers on a weekly basis. “You may think that in our digital
world print flyers would factor less in consumer decision making but we found the exact opposite,” says Ian Oliver, president of Metroland Media which owns the Stittsville News. “Shoppers became quite emotional when we asked them how they use flyers,” Mr. Oliver said. “And as it turns out, flyers continue to play a significant role in how we decide what we want to purchase.” In the study’s survey, Ontario shoppers revealed that they consider flyers to be a critical guide for finding deals and learning what products are out there when they need to make a purchase. At least half of Ontario shoppers depend on the flyers that they receive from department stores, fashion retailers, sporting goods stores and electronics stores to help them make their purchases.
ergy Board has recently found they were non - compliant in four of nine safety measures,” he said. Powless feels that there is little new in the way of what Energy East has offered up to the public in the way of assurance that their project is safe. “We can’t get around the idea that this pipeline should not go ahead,” said Powless. “Even if they could assure us they there was 100 per cent no chance that there would-be a problem we would still be opposed to the pipeline. It is not just a question of not in my backyard it is a question of nobody’s back yard.” Other visitors to the open house felt that the main issues were: what risk will there be to local water aquifers and could there ever be fail safe systems that would work without fail over the life of the pipeline?

They say time heals all sorrow, And helps us to forget, But time so far has only proved, How much we miss him yet. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the way he smiled, The words he used to say, The many things he did for us, in his own loving ways. For all his loving kindness, He asked nothing in return, We never had a greater gift, Than the years we had with you. Our memories keep you near to us, Still you will never know the heartache, When we see your vacant chair.

MARY COOK Family’s good fortune Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Going into Renfrew every Saturday for a couple hours while Mother delivered her wares and shopped for her weekly supplies was excitement enough. Going into Renfrew for an entire day was pure rapture. Imagine: a whole day from early morning until the big clock in the centre of town told us it was time to head back out to Northcote. This only happened once a year, usually in early December, when Turkey Fair Day rolled around. Chickens, turkeys, and a few geese would have to be ready. That meant making sure there wasn’t a feather in sight, the legs trussed up with string, and the necks tucked under. Fresh butter wrapped in wax paper, and Mother’s famous sticky buns sitting on pieces of square cardboard would be added to the fowl, in the hopes of earning a few extra dollars. Parking the sleigh was a reason for going in at the crack of dawn. Where you parked was of prime importance. You hoped to be right in the centre of the main street. That’s where the townspeople would be walking to look over what you had to offer, but more important, the big buyers, the men who came yearly from Ottawa, would concentrate on the centre of Raglan Street. Since it was so early in the morning, Father had no trouble finding a good spot right
Outdo Santa this year, book a
makes for disappointing day
in front of Scott’s hardware, one of the busiest stores in the entire town of Renfrew. It wasn’t long until all the butter and the sticky-buns were gone. I could see Mother’s little change purse starting to bulge. This was going to be good day -- I could feel it in my bones. And the excitement of visiting the Five and Dime store was mounting by the minute. And then came the men in the long white coats. They had red embroidery on their pockets, letting everyone know they were from Canada Packers. The dream, of course, was to have them buy everything you had on the sleigh in one fell swoop. They obviously made Mother and Father an offer they couldn’t refuse, because I saw one of the white-coated men take a wad of bills out of his pocket as big as pickle crock, and start counting out the money into Mother’s outstretched hand. And then our sleigh was empty. The look of sheer joy on Mother’s face was something to behold. Father who rarely showed emotion of any kind, kept saying, “Well, by golly. Well, by golly,” as he lit and relit his pipe. Emerson and Everett were sent to the drive shed for the cutter and the horses, and my dream of a full day in Renfrew evaporated. There would be no visit to the Five and Dime Store to look over the array of toys.

Lifestyle - Conceivably more than any other appetizer, warm Brie cheese hits the spot with guests. Cover with a stunning mix of sweet caramelized onions, tart apple and ruby-red sherry-laced cranberries and you know you have a winner. Serve with baguette slices. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Cooking time: 45 minutes. Baking time: 20 minutes. Serves 16 as an appetizer. Ingredients * 2 onions * 25 ml (2 tbsp) butter * 10 ml (2 tsp) granulated sugar * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt * 50 ml (1/4 cup) dried cranberries * 50 ml (1/4 cup) sherry or port * 125 ml (1/2 cup) diced apple * 450 g (1 wheel) double cream Brie cheese Preparation Cut the onions in half through the root end, and then into eight-
millimetre (1/3-inch) thick slices. In a large skillet, melt the butter over low heat. Add the onions, separating them as they are added. Sprinkle them with sugar and salt, and cook, stirring often, for 20 minutes, reducing the heat if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to brown. Meanwhile, combine the cranberries and sherry in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for one minute, stir, cover and set aside. Add apple to onions, cook, stirring often, until apple is tender and onions are golden, about 25 minutes. Stir in the cranberries and any remaining sherry that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been absorbed. (Can be covered and refrigerated for up to four days.) Place the Brie on a shallow ovenproof serving dish. Spoon the onion mixture onto the Brie and spread almost to the edge. Loosely tent with foil and bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven until the Brie sides feel warm to the touch -- about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.
