But you can do this by giving a pass to the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014. That’s because the four films being shown in this International Film Series come from these four corners of the world – Europe, North America, South America and Asia. What a great way of being exposed to the creativity and culture of these far-flung, diverse places without going beyond the walls of the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum where the movies will be shown.

Facing not only lung cancer but also medical bills Continued from page 1
But now their world has been invaded and impacted by that scourge of modern life, something that has affected virtually everyone in one way or another, cancer. It was early this fall when Nancy Therrien, who runs Stittsville Glass & Signs in partnership with her husband Luc, went for an MRI scan because she had been experiencing back problems. Shortly after this, before hearing any results, she had to be rushed to hospital with breathing problems. This led to a diagnosis of lung cancer, with the breathing problems caused by blood clots circulating all through her body. It was said that she probably had only 48 hours or so to live had she not arrived at the hospital when she did. It turns out that these blood clots are a byproduct of her lung cancer which is not caused by smoking but is a non-smokers version of lung cancer. A large tumour was found on her lung, a tumour which the earlier MRI scan ended up detecting as well. Because of the size of the tumour, surgery is not possible at this time. So, it means an aggressive program of chemotherapy and then radiation to try to shrink the tumour and drive it into remission. And so Nancy had begun her chemotherapy treatments, twice a month,
with the hope that a January CT scan will show that the tumour is smaller and radiation can be started. What is really worrying Nancy and her husband Luc is how they are going to pay for some of the additional shots and pills that she requires to ďŹ ght this form of lung cancer. As long struggling small business people, young and not expecting such disastrous health news, they have never subscribed to any additional health coverage. Perhaps they should have but there were always so many other bills and expenses that needed paying. This means that they are facing some pretty serious ďŹ nancial bills. For instance, to prevent the blood clots which this form of lung cancer produces, Nancy must have a shot every day. And the cost? Five shots cost $495. And these shots have to continue daily until the cancer goes away or is in total remission. “It’s a matter of life and death,â€? Nancy says, noting that if the shots are not taken, then blood clots will kill her. And then there’s some pills that she has to take. Three pills cost over $100. “It’s insane,â€? Nancy says about the costs involved, while Luc worries, wondering that he just does not know how he and Nancy will be able to cover these ongoing costs. That’s why a bank account has been opened
at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville where donations to help out Nancy Therrien can be made. The bank account number to quote when making such a donation at the branch is 3281 6140429. Or if you just identify the donation as being for Nancy Therrien and her battle against cancer, your donation will be directed to the right spot. Indeed, the branch itself donated the ďŹ rst $100 last week to get the account started. Nancy admits that with her present chemotherapy treatments, she ďŹ nds a big difference in what she can do around the business. She is ďŹ nding it hard to keep up with the paperwork that needs to be done and that is her role in the business. After the chemotherapy treatments, Nancy cannot eat and gets sick before gradually recovering some strength before going for another treatment. She is not looking forward to radiation, fearing that it will produce periods when she cannot swallow. But she is willing to do this if it means survival. “It’s going to suck but if it works, I don’t
care,â€? she says. And while the odds of recovering from her form of lung cancer are only a 20 percent survival rate, Nancy feels that her youth (she’s only 45 years old) is on her side. Her youth allows her to undergo larger doses of chemotherapy, for instance. She also is so happy that she has two doctors who she says are willing to ďŹ ght “tooth and nailâ€? to help her beat this lung cancer. This involves aggressive chemotherapy and radiation but this is her only option. Nancy still does not know why she has this lung cancer. She did smoke when she was much younger but is a longtime non-smoker. She remains conďŹ dent that she will make it through this health challenge, putting a lot of faith in the belief that God does not send a person a challenge that the person cannot handle. Nancy, as well as Luc, is an avid Ottawa Senators fan. Her small dog “Sugar Bearâ€? has been known to sport an Ottawa Senators logo on its forehead. Stittsville Glass & Signs always features a colourful street side display urging on the Senators at playoff time. Nancy and Luc are also directors on the executive of the Stittsville Village Association.

Well, on Thursday, Jan. 23, it will be “The Hunt,” a 2012 Danish film featuring Mads Mikkelson. This film, in Danish with English subtitles, is considered a contemporary and pow-

On Thursday, Feb. 20, it will be a United States film that is shown, namely “Inside Llewyn Davies,” a 2013 production in English about a fictional folk musician in the early 1960’s in New York. The soundtrack to this film has become popular in its own right, so seeing this film and hearing its music should be quite a treat. On Thursday, March 20, the movie “Gloria,” a production with roots in both Chile and Spain, will be shown.
This Spanish film with English subtitles tells the story of a divorcee in her late 50’s who loves dancing and romance but is also facing the reality of aging. And finally, on Thursday, April 24, this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 will conclude with the screening of “The Lunchbox,” made in India in 2013. Set in Mumbai, this film is in Hindi but has English subtitles. One of its stars is Irfan Khan who was in “Life of Pi” and in “Slumdog Millionaire.”

Students raise funds to help the Philippines John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines are getting some help thanks to the efforts of teacher Jennifer Klatt’s Homeroom 1107 at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. It all evolved out of discussions in class about the typhoon disaster which struck the Philippines and how people there had lost so much. The students indicated that they wanted to do something to help and after considering lots of ideas, they came up with a plant to raise funds by selling coffee, hot chocolate and tea during the Wednesday Morning Wakeup at the school. They also sold baked goods at lunch time that day. They ended up raising a total of $416.20 which is being donated to the Red Cross for its Typhoon Haiyan relief. The federal government in Canada will be doubling the amount as a result of its commitment to match any funds donated to Philippine relief assisted. The students involved all pitched in to make this a successful fundraising initiative. Some made announcements over the school’s public address system. Other created posters which were put up around the school. Others JOHN CURRY/METROLAND even baked some of the goodies at home. It was a total class effort that is going to Members of Homeroom 1107 at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville who raised $416.20 for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in see help given to some of the victims of this the Philippines are, front row, seated, from left, Dylan Carey-Knox, Kyra Smith, Kenzie Smith, Olivia Keys, Tracy Wiebe, Emily Carruthers and Zakk Coulas; and, back row, standing, from left, Julian Lafleur, Nina Seguin, Alex Krause, Curtis Bradbury and Brendan Murray. natural disaster in the Philippines.
Proposed rezoning to Ontario Municipal Board Special to the News
News - A rezoning related to the proposed development of a parcel of land flanked by Elm Crescent, Meadowland Drive, Porter Street and Fernbank Road in the southwest part of Stittsville is going to the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB). The city of Ottawa has been notified by the proponent of the proposed development that the application for rezoning of the property to allow development is being appealed to the OMB under the provision that a municipality must make a decision on such applications
within 120 days of their submission. In addition, the city has been informed that the proposed plan of subdivision for the development will be appealed to the OMB as well on the same basis, once the period of time for the city to make a decision on the plan of subdivision runs its course. It is not yet known when an OMB hearing on these matters will be scheduled. The development proposal involves up to 148 housing units on the parcel of land which was once considered a provincially significant wet-
land. This designation was lost through an OMB decision. Residents of the adjacent residential neighbourhoods have expressed concerns about the proposed development and have advocated for its rejection by the city. Concerns include traffic on adjacent streets, drainage onto adjacent properties, a significant height difference between the existing homes and some of the new homes and loss of water storage capacity. The site is adjacent to a Urban Natural Feature wetland which the city owns.

How much rum & eggnog is too much? A
s the year end approaches, the festive season begins! This is also a time of year when we’re reminded not to drink and drive or to overindulge. Perhaps you already set your own limits to avoid feeling exhausted or hungover the next day, or to make sure all your memories of the office party are positive and free of regret. Do you ever have any concerns about setting those limits and sticking to them? Whether your favourite holiday drink is rum and eggnog or mulled wine – it’s recommended you drink no more than 3 drinks (for women) or 4 drinks (for men) on any single occasion. This is one of the recommendations found in the new Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines. They are designed to help you reduce your risk of illness or injury. You also need to know that not all drinks are equal. People tend to underestimate how much they are drinking because they don’t really know what constitutes one serving.
In order to know how much is too much, it’s helpful to make proper comparisons. Does a beer have the same amount of alcohol as a glass of wine? That depends. A standard drink is a unit that allows you to compare your beverages. The size of a standard drink depends on the percentage of alcohol in the beverage, but in general it is defined as: ÿ 341ml (12 oz.) of beer, cider or cooler, with 5% alcohol content(about a cup and a half) or ÿ 142ml (5 oz.) of wine, with 12% alcohol content ÿ 43 ml (1.5 oz.) of spirits, like rum or vodka, with 40% alcohol content There is quite a difference in the size of a standard drink depending on the type of beverage you are actually drinking. Using the guidelines can help you rethink how much is too much, for you. If you would like more information on standard drink size and setting limits, you can call the Ottawa Public Health Information Line at 613-580-6744 or visit ottawa.ca/ CheckYourDrinking You can also pick up a copy of Canada’s Low Risk Alcohol Drinking Guidelines at any LCBO retail outlet.

Be prepared for party season
P
ass by the OPP station in Kanata and you’ll see dozens of white crosses on the lawn. It’s a stark reminder that drinking and driving kills. Everyone should be prepared for the holiday season and the possibility that they may enjoy a drink or two more than usual. Anyone can head out to a gathering with the best of intentions. Then it’s all too easy to set aside common sense after a few drinks. Rather than trying to guess about your bloodalcohol level, have a plan to get you and your loved ones home safely and be prepared to put it into action. If you expect to drink, arrive by cab or bus so there’s no decision to make later. Make good friends with someone who never drinks or rotate the job of designated driver amongst the season’s partygoers. If you’re hosting a party, have an extra bed, an air mattress or a couch ready for an overnight guest, and let everyone know they’re welcome to stay for breakfast. Alternately, a good host can stay sober and give everyone else a ride home. For those people who fail to make a plan and find themselves far from home with a parked
car, Operation Red Nose and the organization’s volunteers can get you and your car home. Call 613-820-6673 for a ride or visit rednoseottawa. com to help out. Even some tow truck companies have stepped up to offer a ride home and a tow for your car so your auto is in the driveway when you wake up. It’s not cheap, but it’s far less expensive than the cost of tickets, lawyers, insurance increases and a criminal record, jail time – or worse yet – the knowledge that you have killed someone. ’Tis also the season to remind your children that you’re willing to pick them up from a party if they or their driver is impaired. You can never say it often enough. Lastly, we can look forward to light rail being built here in Ottawa. The system will be far more comfortable than riding a bus and waiting in the stations will be more comfortable especially in the winter season. If the system runs 24/7, it will be even easier to go to a party and come home merry. So travel safely this holiday season. If you choose to drink, please don’t drive. If someone you know chooses to drink, help them make the right decision. I could just save a life.

Ottawa’s strange driving patterns
I
was driving down Carling Avenue a few days ago when the car in front of me stopped at a green light. “Hmmm,� I thought, or words not exactly like that, as I slammed on the brakes. Then we sat there, corner of Carling and Preston, watching the snow fall, until the light changed to red and, eventually, back to green. For some reason, I didn’t honk or scream. Perhaps I was tired. But I did wonder what exactly might have been going through his mind. This is assuming he wasn’t texting – always a possibility in our technologically crazed world. If you were in the middle of a good text, you might need to stop at a green light so as to concentrate better on what you were typing. Ask any police officer: stranger things have happened. Probably he wasn’t texting. I couldn’t see what he was doing, or even if it was a he. I’ll call him he, for the sake of simplicity. I concluded that he must simply have been confused. There is much to confuse drivers these days, and even more with a bunch of snow on the ground. My favourite example of confusion-causing technology is the half-stoplight. You see a few of them around town. There’s a promi-

The people driving north-south just see a stop sign, no light. There is probably a philosophy behind this, or maybe it’s just to save on the cost of one stoplight. Whatever the aim is, people don’t understand it. One day I was driving east-west and stopped at the red light. But the people going north-south just sat there. Why? Probably because they didn’t know the rest of us were stopped at a light. They thought it was a fourway stop, or something. So, for the longest time, nobody moved. More commonly, at the same intersection, the north-south people just go anyway even if the green light is against them. In effect,

they’re running a red light, even though there isn’t one. Presumably they don’t know there’s a green light against them and they’re treating it like a four-way stop – especially since there are so many four-way stops in town already. With a four-way stop or a real traffic light, people at least understand what is going on. With this Canadian compromise somebody is going to get hurt. There’s also confusion over snow tires, which are absolutely necessary but not mandatory in this jurisdiction. Kelly Egan had a good column on that in the Citizen the other day. You can forgive someone for thinking that all-weather tires are supposed to mean all-weather, particularly since no one in authority is saying you can’t use them in the winter. But they do make it harder to stop and maybe that’s what the guy at Carling and Preston was thinking, assuming he wasn’t texting. He’s watching the numbers count down on the walk/don’t-walk sign and he’s thinking: “It’s going to turn yellow pretty soon and maybe I should stop now, on the green, just to be on the safe side, especially since it’s snowing and I haven’t got snow tires.�
Maybe that’s what it was. And by the way, if the countdown timer on the crosswalk sign is getting to him, he’s not alone. If you search the Internet for information on the effect of countdown timers, you can find articles that say they reduce accidents and articles saying they increase accidents. Some say they prevent pedestrians from entering intersections when it’s not safe to do so. Others say they make motorists speed up to beat the light. So much to think about, so little time. Maybe it’s best just to stop.

Standing ovation for bell ringing duo at concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The musical offerings of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus were superb. The powerful tenor voice of guest soloist Rory McGlynn filled the performance space and was particularly awesome when combined with the voices of the Ladies Chorus in “Gesu Bambino.” The bell ringing by the Trinity Hilltop Ringers and the Trinity Handbell Quartet revealed the glorious musical precision that can come from an assortment of bells, some large, some small, when put in the hands of practiced ringers performing under the direction of music directors like David Chin and Stuart Belson. And the complementary addition of musical accompaniment by musicians Ann Reilly on percussion, Christine Ritchie on trumpet and Sandra Allan on cello just added to the concert experience. But when all was said and done at the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ “A Garland of Carols” concert which was presented to a full house at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata last Sunday afternoon, the real show stopper in all of this, as evidenced by the standing ovation received, was the performance of the Bella Duetto Ensemble, two young bell ringers who amazed and entertained the audience with their dexterity and quickness in playing two musical selections using the whose set of 37 handbells. Yes, that’s right – just two pairs of hands utilizing all 37 handbells as they played “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Twinkling Variants,” a four-piece variation of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” They not only had to switch from handbell to handbell as the music progressed, with their hands wearing multi-coloured gloves darting here and there, but they also had to turn

And, on top of all these musical challenges, they wanted to produce a sound that kept the audience enraptured and enthralled. But this is what Erica Heiber and Hadiya Huijer did and the audience’s standing ovation and voluminous applause showed that the audience knew that it had just witnessed
and heard something very special indeed. The audience was not forgotten at this concert, with the first half featuring three audience participation carols – “Silver Bells,” “Ding, Dong Merrily on High,” and lastly “O Little Town of Bethlehem” which wound up the first half of the concert. But West Ottawa Ladies Chorus director Robert Dueck is nothing if not innovative and the second half of the concert was launched with another audience singalong, a rousing rendition of “Winter Wonderland.” Two more audience singalongs, “Deck the Halls,” and “Hark! The Herald” with the trumpet accompaniment of Christine Ritchie were included in the second half of the concert as well. Rory McGlynn’s solo “O Holy Night” demonstrated the power and majestic beauty of the male tenor voice, in much the same way that the bevy of Christmas offerings sung by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus highlighted the harmony and delicious melodies which can result when 30 or so female voices come together in song. One particularly memorable tune was the Ladies Chorus rendition of “Sleigh Ride,” with associated sound effects depicting, among other things, the clip-clop of horses hooves. Sandra Allan’s use of two boards as clappers was attention grabbing. All in all, all this coupled with the voices of the Ladies Chorus set a scene that allowed one to just imagine riding in a sleigh through a snow-covered scene. And when the collective “Whoa!” roared out in one voice at the conclusion of the song, you were swiftly jolted back to reality, ending a memorable, albeit imagined, sleigh ride. This was the first “solo” Christmas concert presented by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus.
Last year the group had joined with the Goulbourn Male Chorus at its Christmas concert. “I think we ushered in the Christmas spirit for what was an absolutely wonderful audience,” music director Robert Dueck reported last Monday in musing about the concert. He was particularly pleased not only with the size of the audience which packed the church but also with its hearty participation in the audience singalongs. Bonnie MacDiarmid is the accompanist for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Paul Jolicoeur served as the MC for the concert. Members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus are Barbara Bottriell, Beth Ronaghan, Bev Armbruster, Carolyn Thompson, Debbie Boulton, Debbie Trouten, Ingrid Gemmell, Irene Moore, Jacqueline Sanders, Janet Ramsahoye, Julie Dustin, Kimberly Lovatt, Linda Noble, Liz Mevel, Lorraine Harker, Lynne Small, Margaret Peeren, Marilyn Snyder, Mary March, Maxine Mercer, Molly O’Connor, Monique T. Bruhn, Nancy Hayley, Nicole Lahey, Reta Hamilton, Sharon Neill, Shelley McLeod, Taisia Smellie, Vivian Latulippe and Vivian McLean. Members of the Trinity Handbell Quartet which performed at this “A Garland of Carols” concert were Amy Siortek, Danielle Carrie, Martin Edwards and Rachel Kuhl. Members of the Trinity Hilltop Bell Ringers who performed in both the first and second halves of the concert included Amanda Lovatt, Amy Sirotek, Barbara Kyd-Strickland, Danielle Carrie, Elaine Johnston, Gwenda Huijer, Hadiya Huijer, Holly MacDonald, Margaret Erb, Marilyn O’Brien, Martin Edwards and Rachel Kuhl. The duo of Erica Heiber and Hadiya Huijer comprised the Bella Duetto Ensemble.

Sale of jewellery to help breakfast program in Nunavut John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It’s jewellery time in Stittsville this Saturday, Dec. 7. That’s when over 10,000 pieces of used jewellery are going to be on sale from 8 a.m. to 12 noon at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road. There will also be over 500 handbags/purses on sale. This is all jewellery and handbags collected by Sacred Heart High School student Eva von Jagow thanks to the generosity of many both in Stittsville and all across the Ottawa area.
All of the proceeds from this jewellery sale, which is being called “All that Glam,” will be going to fund a breakfast program at Sakku School in Coral Harbour in Nunavut. The jewellery will be sorted into various categories such as long necklaces, short necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and more. All of this outpouring of support and collecting used jewellery and handbags to help fund a program that will feed hungry children in Nunavut will go for naught if people do not turn out for the sale and make purchases. It’s a great opportunity to acquire some wonderful jewellery at
most reasonable prices while knowing that the funds generated will be going to help fund a breakfast program for 280 students in a school in Nunavut. This idea came to Eva last summer when she was helping her mother Karen organize her jewellery and noticing that her mother had a number of pieces of jewellery that she no longer wore. Eva figured that other women would have jewellery in the same situation – just sitting there taking up space. So, Eva conceived the idea of collecting donations of such jewellery
in the Fernbank Crossing area of the Fernbank lands, currently accessible only by taking Westphalian Drive off Terry Fox Drive between Fernbank Road and the Trans Canada Trail. Phoenix Homes is offering single family homes including bungalows on lots ranging from 35 feet wide to 50 feet wide, with the houses starting in price at $386,400. Phoenix Homes will eventually be building more than 800 homes at this Fernbank Crossing subdivision…Last Friday, Nov. 29, students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School held a bake sale at lunch time, with the proceeds being donated to the victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines… A group from the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers sang at the morning worship service at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road last Sunday…Members of the Friendship Club donated $127.55 and a number of food items to the Stittsville Food Bank at its Christmas luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 27 in the clubhouse at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club located on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville…

Goulbourn Male Chorus sings at Christmas luncheon John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It was a so-called “snow day” when school buses were not running but the overnight snow did not deter more than 40 members of the Friendship Club from gathering at noon on Wednesday, Nov. 27 to enjoy the Club’s Christmas luncheon. And, indeed, with snow covered vistas as far as the eye could see out of the large windows that wrap around two walls of the dining area at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club’s clubhouse on Fernbank Road, site of the luncheon, you could not
have had a more seasonal setting. This setting was enhanced by a tall Christmas tree decorated with lights and garland that stood at the front of the dining area, while a large wreath hung on the opposite wall. And what added to this seasonal setting was a performance by 14 members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus under the direction of music director Robert Dueck. The group had performed for the Friendship Club last year and was back again this year. “Winter, winter, when the snow is softly falling” were words from the verse of one song to which everyone could relate, just looking out the din-
ing area windows at the surrounding countryside. Chorus member John McGinn should his percussion skills as he added some bell-ringing accompaniment as the Male Chorus sang a medley of holiday tunes including “Jingle Bells” and “Silver Bells.” The Male Chorus sang some traditional favourites like “The First Noel,” “Hark the Herald Angels,” “Good King Wenceslas” and others, some performed as a group and some as audience participation singalongs, with members of the Male Chorus encircling the audience to disperse their voices among the group. The Goulbourn Male Chorus

ended with “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” certainly a most appropriate finish to a performance at a Christmas luncheon. The Goulbourn Male Chorus is now preparing for its upcoming “Welcome Christmas” concert which will be presented on Sunday, Dec. 15 at 3 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. This concert will involve the full 27 member Male Chorus but will also feature performances by two male ensembles which have sprung from the Male Chorus, the “GMC Men of Note” which is an a cappella group and also an accompanied ensemble. In addition, guest soloist Skye MacDiarmid, daughter of Goulbourn Male Chorus accompanist Bonnie MacDiarmid and Goulbourn Male Chorus member Rory MacDiarmid, will perform Handle’s “He Shall Feed His Flock” as well as joining with the Male Chorus on two other musical selections. The concert will also include an appearance by the Polished Brass Quintet of Ottawa which will perform two solo numbers, accompany the Male Chorus on several songs, play for audience participation carols and provide some pre-concert prelude music. Tickets for this “Welcome Christmas” concert presented by the Goulbourn Male Chorus are available
now at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville as well as at Domenic’s Music on Hazeldean Road in Kanata and at CD Warehouse on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. Tickets will be limited to the seating capacity of the church. The tickets are $15 for an adult. There will be a limited number of tickets available for children aged 12 and under.

Mayor’s Report
A TIME FOR GIVING By Jim Watson The days have gotten shorter and the weather colder and that means the holiday season is right around the corner. This, like every year, we are fortunate to call Ottawa home and there is much to be thankful for. But while many will celebrate the holidays with lavish meals and presents, others are at risk of going without a warm meal, let alone a gift. Ottawa’s residents always give generously to those in need and I encourage you to keep doing so during the holiday season. If you would like to offer donations of food, gifts, or your time, here are just a few of the many organizations that could use your help: Toy Mountain - The Salvation Army Toy Depot 250 Champagne Drive N, Unit 118, 1st level warehouse JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Members of the Capital City Chorus barbershop singing group perform under the direction of Denis http://www.toymountain.ca Laflamme at the concert featuring the group which took place at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville &REE TOYS FOR CHILDREN AND UNDER ARE DISTRIBUTED TO ELIGIBLE FAMILIES FROM THE last Sunday evening, Dec. 1. end of November until Christmas.

Capital City Chorus fills church with its a cappella harmonies john.curry@metroland.com
News - St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville was filled with the a cappella sounds of the Capital City Chorus barbershop singers last Sunday evening. The concert was a return engagement for the Ottawabased Capital City Chorus which had performed at the church in a similar concert a year ago. While the Capital City Chorus has over 80 active members in its men’s performing chorus, a group of 30 were able to turn out for this concert. And, believe you me, having 30 male voices singing harmonic melodies can and did fill St. Thomas Church. We can only imagine what the sound would be like if the whole 80-voice group were singing together – the roof would probably pop off from the power of the melodies. Last Sunday’s concert was really two concerts in one. The first half saw the Capital City Chorus, under the direction of its energetic director Denis Laflamme, wow the audience with tunes from its regular repertoire of barbershop tunes – ones like “You’re Nobody Till Somebody Loves You,� the 1944 song whose best known popular version is Dean Martin’s 1965 recording, although it has been covered by numerous singers such as the Mills Brothers, country singer Ray Price, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Sam Cooke and, more recently, Michael Buble. Or what about “The Way You Look Tonight,� the song
Friendship Club annual meeting Special to the News
News – Turkey and the trimmings were enjoyed at the Friendship Club’s Christmas luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 27 at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville. The Club’s next luncheon will be on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014 which will also be the Club’s annual general meeting. The financial statement will be presented and an executive for 2014 will be elected.
There is still a vacancy for the position of recording secretary. During the winter months of January, February and March, Friendship Club luncheons will be held at the Stittsville Legion Hall prepared by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Legion. The cost for these winter luncheons will be the same as always, $15 per person. Friendship Club luncheons are always held on the last Wednesday of the month, starting at 12 noon.
sung by Fred Astaire in the movie “Swing Time� which won the 1936 Academy Award for Best Original Song and which has become a popular standard, covered by many of music’s stars such as Tony Bennett, Mel Torme, Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams and, more recently, singers like Phil Collins, Michale Buble and Olivia Newton-John. Those at the concert also heard “Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams and Dream Your Troubles Away,� a longtime favourite that has been recorded by such crooners at Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. And the Capital City Chorus entered the world of Disney as the group sang “Can You Feel The Love Tonight,� a signature song from The Lion King, with the lyrics penned by Elton John. The Capital City Chorus, in this first part of the concert, also branched into a couple of spirituals, “Sweet Hour of Prayer’ arranged by renowned a cappella vocal harmony arranger Jim Clancy, which the group followed with a Slavic liturgical piece. These two songs were certainly right in their element in a church setting. The second half of the concert featured seasonal music including a number of audience participation singalongs. Founded in 1957, the Capital City Chorus practices a cappella singing in close four-part harmony. The group is associated with the Barbershop Harmony Society, the world’s largest all-male singing organization. Indeed, the Capital City Chorus is a five-time winner of the Society’s Ontario District Chorus championship. 7,&2

Others who were re-elected as directors at the annual general meeting are Doug Sutherland, Tim LaPlante and Christine Hartig who declared that she would only be serving a one year term. Others who were not up for re-election this year but have one more year on their two year term as directors are David Fairbrother, Tanya Hein, Marion Gullock, Luc Therrien, Nancy Therrien and Ayah Stretch. In addition to these directors, incumbent president Phil Sweetnam, vice-president The-
resa Qadri and secretary Doug Robertson have one year to go in their terms in these executive positions. Treasurer Claude Keon was re-elected to his position at the annual general meeting. Marilyn Jenkins is the SVA’s immediate past
president. Mr. Robertson indicated at the annual general meeting that he would like to relinquish the role of secretary and continue as an SVA director but this will depend on whether someone else comes forward to serve as secretary.

SVA may want presence on signs John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) may want to be on the new service club signs that the city of Ottawa has erected at various locations in Stittsville. Six such signs with space for eight service clubs and community organi-
zations on each sign have been erected at various entrance and traffic areas in the community. Two more of these signs are to be erected in 2014. The SVA will have the item on the agenda of its Dec. 12 executive meeting. The matter of SVA representation on such signage was brought up at the SVA annual general meeting on
Thursday, Nov. 28 by SVA immediate past president Marilyn Jenkins who noted that organizations like the Rotary Club, Lions Club and Horticultural Society will be having their signage on these new signs. She said that she feels that the SVA should have a presence on these signs as well for more community recognition, helping make more peo-
ple aware of the SVA. It costs $50 for a 6 inch by six inch sign for a service club or organization that would go on one of these signs. There is room for eight service club or organization signs on each of the overall signs. The city is not charging any fee or rent for having a presence on these signs. It is only the cost of making the sign that a service club or community organization must absorb. There is another option that is
available just to community-wide community associations and that is having a name and website address on a wooden banner that will run between the two posts of the sign below the area for the service club signs. Information about these wooden banners is still to be provided to the SVA but such a banner would allow the SVA not only to proclaim its name but also to publicize its website. A service club or organization can choose to have a presence on one or more of these signs.

Fast start for Junior A ringette team Special to the News
Sports - The West Ottawa Wild Junior A ringette team is off to a good start this season. Just how good? How about being undefeated in 15 regular league games and also tournament play before losing a close game in the championship final of the recent Nepean Ringette Association tournament? How about one tournament championship and one tournament finalist appearance in two recent tournaments? And the season, which will hopefully end with an appearance in the provincial tournament later one, is just getting started. The West Ottawa Wild Junior A ringette team travelled to Oshawa for its first tournament of the season on the weekend of Nov. 1-3.
It proved to be an undefeated experience with the girls bringing back the gold medals from the Junior A division thanks to a championship game victory over the Nepean Ravens. The West Ottawa Wild had advanced to playoff action in the tournament thanks to going undefeated in four games of round robin play. In the semi-finals, the West Ottawa Wild met the Gloucester Devils, taking an early 2-0 lead thanks to goals by Laura Albert and Gabriella Marelic. Ashley Franko added another two goals as the Wild skated to a 4-2 victory over Gloucester to advance to the tournament final against the Nepean Ravens. It was a high scoring first period with the Wild emerging with the lead, 5-4. ScorR0012399698

West Ottawa Wild Continued from page 26
In the Junior A division of the tournament, five members of the West Ottawa Wild were among the top ten point leaders: Ashley Franko, Gabriella Marelic, Shaylyn James, Laura Albert and Kathleen Darbyson. The West Ottawa Wildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next tournament was the Nepean Ringette Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament where the team recorded three wins and a tie in round robin play, finishing in top spot and earning a spot in the tournament finals. The West Ottawa Wild met Timmins in this championship game, a team that the Wild had tied 2-2 in round robin play. The Wild led 2-1 after the first period thanks to two goals by Shaylyn James, both scored after Timmins had opened the scoring. On the first Wild goal, Mara Winn got the ring out of the defensive zone and up to Ashley Franko who then passed the ring to Shaylyn James who scored. The game turned into quite a battle, with both teams relentless as they tried to gain the victory. Ashley Franko scored two goals for the Wild and it was all tied up when Timmins scored with two minutes left in the game to take the lead. The West Ottawa Wild pulled goalie Kailey Meek for an additional shooter but could not manage that tying goal. The West Ottawa Wild finished as the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s silver medalists. Both West Ottawa Wild goalies Kailey Meek and Claire Campbell turned aside many shots from the Timmins team during this championship game.

Sports â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A severe â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stormâ&#x20AC;? warning was issued over Orleans on the weekend of Nov. 22-24 as the South Carleton High School Storm junior boys team swept into St. Matthew High School for the Bill Wren Memorial basketball tournament. Aided by passion and determination, the skilled Storm players began their season by capturing the silver medals in this tournament, losing a close verdict in the championship final to the St. Matthew team which the Storm had beaten in the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round robin portion. The South Carleton Storm went undefeated through round robin play, beating Glebe Collegiate, St. Matthew High School and Colonel By Secondary School before beating St. Patrick High School in semi-final action with Adam Hosny leading the Storm in this game with 32 points. But in the championship final, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stormâ&#x20AC;? could not blow over St. Matthew, losing a nail biter by a 54-48 count. Adam Whitmore of South Carleton averaged more than 15 points a game throughout the tournament. Andrew Evraire, Aaron Clausen, Cole Seabrook and Ethan Linnen all contributed both of-
fensively and defensively to the Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success in this tournament. Storm players Danny Por-
ter, Dilan Parry, Jared Cutler, Eric Sutherland, Sasha Mironov, Sheridan Kotuba and Janek Gupta
also played key roles at different times during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run in this tournament.

Hockey player from Stittsville helps out friend whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injured Special to the News
Sports - A hockey player from Stittsville currently playing in the Southern Professional Hockey League has come to the aid of a hockey friend who was recently paralyzed crashing into the boards. Bloomington Thunder forward Kyle Watson, with the help of his coach and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front ofďŹ ce, spearheaded a fundraiser to beneďŹ t Brent Nugent, a 19 year old friend who was hurt while playing for the Shawville Pontiacs of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League. This is the same league in which the Stittsville Royals play. The fundraising, which included post-game memorabilia auctions and a dinner, raised nearly $1,000. Kyle Watson got to know Brett Nugent when they met through a hockey school, Next Generation Hockey, where they have been working together for several summers now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a great young kid who loves the game and has already contributed back to it,â&#x20AC;? Kyle Watson is quoted in describing Brett Nugent in a story about the situation written by Joe Deacon on the

Two games, two overtimes, two losses for Stittsville Royals
Range of ringette programs for players
John Curry
Sports - The West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA), which offers ringette in the Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Kanata and West Carleton areas, offers a range of ringette programs for players of all ages. It starts for those as young as four years old with the “Bunnies” program. Girls between the ages of 4 and 7 begin as a “Bunny,” participating in a learn-to-skate program as well as being introduced to the game of ringette. Those in the “Bunnies” program do not play formal league games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other ringette associations throughout the city of Ottawa and area. For players from ages 7 through 18, WORA offers both recreational and competitive ringette programs. League play runs from early October through to the end of March. Home arenas for WORA includes those in Stittsville,
it must be passed to another player to cross the line. This adds an essential team aspect to the game. A ringette stick is similar to a hockey stick but with no blade. It must be placed inside the ring (hence, “stabbing the ring”) with the player then controlling it until there is an opportunity to pass to a teammate or to take a shot on net. The ring tends to be easier to control than a puck in hockey but that’s where the blue line rule makes an impact. The ring has to be passed over the blue line, meaning that ringette ends up with more passing than in hockey. This means that passing and, indeed, skating are vital in ringette, as is teamwork. Another difference between ringette and hockey is that only three players from each team are allowed inside the zone between the red line and the goalie. More details about the West Ottawa Ringette Association, its programs and the game of ringette in general can be found at the website www.westottawaringette.com.
The Stittsville Royals play Shawville Pontiacs on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2:30 p.m. at the GRC in Stittsville.

Sports - Two Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey league games. Both went into overtime. And both turned out to be overtime losses for the Stittsville Royals. The first game happened last Friday, Nov. 29 in Arnprior when the visiting Royals took on the hometown Packers. Arnprior jumped into a 2-0 first period lead but the Royals narrowed the gap to 2-1 with a second period goal by Joey Laird assisted by Alex Perrault. Down 2-1 going into the third period, the Royals tied up up at the 12:23 mark when Derrick Verrin scored, assisted by Mitch Kerwin and Steve Genier. There was no more scoring, so the game went into overtime. The Packers scored at 3:58 of the overtime period and it was not only an overtime goal but it was a goal scored on a penalty shot. Arnprior had 46 shots at the Royals net in this game while the Royals directed 39 shots at the Arnprior goal. Quinten Abrams started in nets for the Royals but was pulled after Arnprior scored its second goal with 7:02 gone in the first period. Abrams had stopped two of the four shots that he faced in this opening 7:02 minutes of play. He was replaced by goalie Patrick Kealey who stopped 41 of 42 shots directed his way over the course of the rest of the game including the overtime period. It was enough to earn him the third star in the game. There were 34 penalties called in this game, totaling 146 minutes in penalties. Back home at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon, the Royals again went into overtime but again lost, with the Ottawa West Golden Knights scoring at the 1:32 mark of the overtime frame to give the visitors an 8-7 victory. Ottawa West led 2-1 after the first period and had a 5-2 lead after two periods. Indeed, it was 7-3 for Ottawa West before the Royals mounted a four-goal comeback to tie up the game. These four goals happened in the span of one minute and 29 seconds, with three of the goals being scored in 30 seconds. This forced the game into overtime but the early Ottawa West goal sealed the fate for the Royals as they lost by an 8-7 score. The Royals had 29 shots on the Ottawa West goal while Ottawa West directed 37 shots at the Royals net. Derrick Verrin scored two goals for the Royals in this game. Single markers went to Robbie Clarkson, Joey Laird, Jake Oliver, Kyle Killeen and Matt Shaheen. Alex Hulford had three assists in this game for the Royals. Mitch Kerwin, Robbie Clarkson and Jeremy Nichols all picked up two assists each while single assists were earned by Kyle Killeen, Jordan Cale, Derrick Verrin, Joey Laird and Alex Perrault. There were only eight penalties in the game, all two minute minor penalties. The Stittsville Royals will host the visiting Gatineau Mustangs in an Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League game this coming Sunday, Dec. 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville.

Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. Away games can take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau, among other locations. Teams also have the opportunity to participate in tournaments where not only do the players have the chance to play other teams but where they have the opportunity to have fun with their teammates and meet ringette players from other areas of the region and the province. Ringette is a fast-paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. There are six players from each team on the ice at any one time – two forwards, one centre, two defense and one goalie. Ringette is related to ice hockey in that similar protective gear is worn and a similar ice playing surface is used. But the rules and approach to the game are different. In ringette, instead of passing a puck, players “stab the ring” which is the equivalent of the puck. Players are not permitted to carry this ring over the two blue lines as

Hyde Park donates to Food Bank Special to the News
News - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.â&#x20AC;? So goes the United States Postal Services unofficial but well known creed. And taking a page from the United States Postal Service, residents of the Hyde Park community in Richmond could claim a creed of their own, namely that â&#x20AC;&#x153;neither cold nor biting windâ&#x20AC;? will keep them from donating to the Richmond Food Bank. It was on Thursday, Nov. 28, with the temperature including the chill factor at minus 20 degrees Celsius and with a biting wind blowing from the north, that residents of Hyde Park collected boxes and bags of food items for dona-
tion to the Richmond Food Bank from the 92 homes in the Hyde Park community. Residents were asked via flyer to leave their donations on the front step for easy pickup. And it was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in only 15 minutes, three teams of people filled the back of three individual SUVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the donations. They then took the donations directly to the Richmond Food Bank which is located at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond. This was Hyde Parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth annual food drive for the Richmond Food Drive. The food drive has been organized by Cheryl McCoy for all five years. The Richmond Food Bank offers special thanks to all those who worked on the food drive and who made it happen.

ACCESO partners with Guatemala Stove Project on screening documentary film ‘Girl Rising’ Special to the News
News - It was back in 1996 that Dr. Christine Gervais founded ACCESO International to provide educational opportunities for students in economically disadvantaged countries. Over the years, ACCESO International has worked in 12 countries including in Latin America, the Caribbean and Canada, affecting thousands of children. This has included putting pencils in their hands, notebooks on their desks, shoes on their feet, uniforms over their shoulders, school bags on their backs and sometimes food in their stomachs. ACCESO’s work under the guidance of Dr. Gervais, a Stittsville resident, has also included support for teachers, the payment of tuition for youth and the provision of alternatives such as more promising employment opportunities for women. Since 1996, ACCESO International has worked in 12 countries helping 42 pre-schools and daycares, 22 primary schools and six high schools, 20 women’s human rights workshops and cooperatives, two vocational centres, two orphanages, six libraries and six homework centres, ten summer camps, over 1500 primary students with bursaries, over 350 high school students with bursaries, over 1500 post-secondary students with bursaries, over 1300 preschool children, over 13,000 library patrons and thousands of primary, high school and post-secondary students. ACCESO International’s primary fundraising event is its annual “Sounds & Tastes of the Americas” event at which guests are treated to the tastes of Latin American and Caribbean cuisine while also enjoying silent and live auctions. The evening also features music and dance performances. To date, the event has raised over $300,000 in support of ACCESO projects.
The next “Sounds & Tastes of the Americas” fundraiser will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2014 at the Ukranian Hall on Byron Avenue in Ottawa. Currently ACCESO International has partnered with the Guatemala Stove project for host a screening of the documentary film “Girl Rising,” an acclaimed film illustrating the power of educating girls to change the world. It is being shown this Tuesday, Dec. 10 which also happens to be International Human Rights Day. Lucy van Oldenbarneveld of CBC News Ottawa will be the host for the event which is taking place at Library & Archives Canada on Wellington Street in Ottawa. The doors will open at 6 p.m. with the film being shown at 6:45 p.m. There will also be speakers, a craft sale and light refreshments. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. For tickets and more information, you should contact Dr. Gervais at info@accesointernational.ca or at 613-831-9158. The film focusing on the importance of educating girls was made by a group of film directors and is narrated by such personalities as actors Kate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway. Since both ACCESO International and its partner the Guatemala Stove Project have an educational focus or component in their individual visions, their partnership in hosting this screening of “Girl Rising” is complimentary to each other. The Guatemala Stove Project, a charitable organization just like ACCESO International, founded in 1999, is made up of a small group of North American volunteers who began working in response to a request for help from an indigenous non-profit group working in Guatemala’s western highlands area. The need for masonry cookstoves in the
communities there was identified but the local residents lacked the human and material resources to build such stoves for themselves. Hence the Guatemala Stoeve project was born. Since building the first six stoves in 1999, the Guatemala Stove Project has expanded rapidly and has now built over 5,000 stoves. These stoves not only provide safer cooking conditions for the families involved, preventing blindness from cook stove smoke and also preventing the lungs of men, women and children from being affected by toxic smoke every day but they also safe the dwindling forests since these new stoves burn more efficiently, requir-

ing less fire wood fuel. The Guatemala Stove project has also branched out into helping these Guatemalan villages with the provision of medicine for treatable illnesses, mainly by facilitating networking between the villages and various medical and fair trade non-governmental organizations. The Ottawa Chapter of the Guatemala Stove Project is just starting to fund a group of five girls in another area of Guatemala. The hope is that funds raised through the “Girl Rising” screening will allow these girls to stay in school for their three years of middle school education.

The team at Centrepointe Theatres have been making magical moments like this happen for 25 years and patrons of the west-end theatre can expect more unforgettable experiences this anniversary season. “We took a hard look at our numbers and listened to our patrons and we decided it was time to make some changes to our in-house programming, Centrepointe Theatres Presents, says Allan Sansom, Centrepointe Theatres’ Artistic Producer and Manager. “ We have put a real focus on ‘the family’ and we are bringing more comedy, more music and more variety to our stages than ever before.” Television sensations, the Wild Kratts kicked off the family se-
ries this fall. The shows were so popular Sansom is promising to bring them back again next season, but there is also a lot
of high quality children’s entertainment left on this season’s roster. Canadian icon Fred Penner is on the 954-seat main stage this spring and there are shows based on famous children’s books and cartoon characters including: The Snail and the Whale, Pinkalicious and Scooby-Doo! Live Musical Mysteries. This year, Centrepointe Theatres give patrons the opportunity to participate in pre-and
post-performance activities at many shows. For instance, children attending Pickalicious will have the opportunity to ‘pinkafy’ themselves at a post-performance tea party and ticket holders who purchased an ‘On Stage Pass’ for the anniversary gala starring Rick Mercer this past May got a chance to rub elbows with the CBC personality at a cocktail reception and book signing after the show.

“Centrepointe is such an intimate venue. It’s one of our best features,” says Barbara Brunzell, Centrepointe Theatres’ Marketing and Development Specialist. “The pre-and postshow events only serve to enhance the experience.” Kids of all ages, and adults too, can enjoy the many interactive events being hosted in the Centrepointe Studio Theatre; a 199-seat, state-of-the-art, black box space that was added to the venue in 2010. There are monthly improv shows featur-

King, an illusionist who produces goldfish out of thin air; Black Violin, a musical group that fuses classical with hip hop; and big comic talent such as Jim Belushi, The Debaters, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood from Whose Line is it Anyway? fame. CBC Dragon’s Den star and entrepreneur Arlene Dickinson makes an appearance in April and local music group The Cooper Brothers celebrate a milestone of their own in March. More than 100 events and 200 performances are held annually at Centrepointe Theatres and more than two million patrons have walked through the doors since it opened in 1988. Names such as Russell Peters, Kids in the Hall, Jeff Healey, Stuart Maclean, Rich Little and the Moscow Philharmonic have appeared at the Ottawa venue over the years. It’s always been a place where talent from around the corner and
around the globe can shine. But Centrepointe staff say they are just getting started.

Jubilee Singers and JJs sing at Christmas Dinner John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been happening for 39 years now and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still going strong. And this year was no exception as the Richmond Legion Hall was full for last Sunday afternoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Seniors Christmas Dinner hosted by the Legion. About 100 area seniors got to enjoy not only a turkey dinner with all the trimmings courtesy of the Richmond Legion but they got to enjoy Christmas entertainment thanks to the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its associated junior choir, the Junior Jubilees or JJs. The Legion Hall itself was transformed into a seasonal setting for the dinner. There were poinsettias on the tables, a tall decorated Christmas tree at the front of the hall, red bows lining the side walls, Christmas lights spanning both the front and back of the hall and garlands dancing across the ceiling. You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but be in the Christmas spirit in such a setting! But add to this traditional Christ-
mas dinner and this setting an array of Christmas songs and tunes delivered by the voices of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the JJs and you have the ingredients for a memorable seasonal experience. And all this on just the first day of December! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music is food for the soul,â&#x20AC;? exclaimed Elizabeth Douville of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers when she introduced the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and JJs artistic director Linda Crawford and the group of Jubilee Singers and JJs who were there to perform. Accompanied by Erna Poettcker, the groups, both together and separately, sang a host of holiday tunes ranging from â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Little Town of Bethlehemâ&#x20AC;? to the Austrian carol â&#x20AC;&#x153;Still, Still, Stillâ&#x20AC;? to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good King Wenceslasâ&#x20AC;? to the Charlie Brown Christmas songs â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christmas Time Is Hereâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;O Christmas Tree.â&#x20AC;? Special guests at this Seniors Christmas Dinner were members of the Richmond clergy including Rev. Carla Van Delen of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church, Rev. Michel Dubord of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, Rev. John Spurrell of the Grace As-
sembly Pentecostal Church and Deacon Louis Seward of St. Philip
Catholic Church. Richmond Legion president Brian
Goss was in attendance and formally welcomed everyone to the event.

CATS’ is all song, music and dance - Wow! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It’s a feline fantasy but also a musical masterpiece. And students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville presented four performances of this Andrew Lloyd Webber musical “CATS” last week, beginning with opening night on Wednesday, Nov. 27 and ending with a matinee presentation on Saturday, Nov. 30. In the musical, the audience gets to know a ragamuffin band of cats who assemble in a city junk yard under a full moon for the so-called Jellicle Ball, a supposedly annual happening. And what a gang of cats these are – curious, rocking, magical, and even sinister ones, all sharing their stories with
and about each other. What makes this musical “CATS” so beguiling, other than the 30 different cats that are part of the cast, are the 20 musical numbers, ranging from “The Naming of Cats” to “The Old Gumbie Cat” to “The Rum Tum Tugger” to “Grizabella: The Glamour Cat” to “Old Deuteronomy” to “Gus: The Theatre Cat” to “Macavity: The Mystery Cat” to “Skimbleshanks” The Railway Cat.” And don’t forget the musical’s best known song, “Memory” which is heard twice, once in each act. And “CATS” is certainly a musical – in fact, it is all song, music and dance. There is no narration or dialogue as such – what we learn we learn from the songs and music. This production assembled a professional-calibre orchestra to play for the musical
– and play they did. They never stopped – just music after music after music. Members of this orchestra, which was conducted by Sacred Heart teacher Matt Dawber with McKenna Chisholm serving as assistant conductor, include Brian Boggs on flute, clarinet and tenor sax; Lisa Concessi-Maclean on flute, clarinet and alto sax; Emma Busa on oboe and English horn; Gennaro Busa on piccolo trumpet and trumpet; Jean-Pierre Lafleur on trumpet; Marc Larocque on trombone; Isaac Isenor on cello; Theresa Clarke on keyboard; Lisa Bebyck on keyboard; John McGovern on keyboard; Alain Chayer on guitar; Neil Bateman on bass guitar; Kyle Doucette on drums; and Chris Dixon on percussion.

With Christmas just around the corner, everyone in the community is welcome to celebrate the holiday season at Sacred Heart Catholic High School’s third annual Tree Lighting Ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 11. Those attending are welcome to start arriving at 6 p.m. for the ceremony which will begin at 6:30 p.m. in the school atrium.

‘CATS’ musical at Sacred Heart Continued from page 36
Members of the cast for this Sacred Heart production of “CATS” were Evelyn Pageau as Grizabella; Nic Kuzmochka as Old Deuteronomy and also Bustopher Jones; Emily Pilon as Munkustrap; Sarah Turcotte as Quaxo and Mr. Mistoffelees; Paul Smith as Rum Tum Tugger; Noah Rooney as Macavity and Plato; Jasmine Stamos as Bombalurina; Morgan Pitson as Demeter; Taylor Hutchings as Jemima; Kristyn Cooke as Jellylorum; Breton Moorhouse as Mungojerrie; Alison McLeod as Rumpleteazer; Monika Lawczys as Shimbleshanks; Emma Hickey as Jennyanydots; Etienne Boucher as Asparagus; Sydney Anderson as Victoria; Jordan McManus as Bill Bailey; Victoria Gay as Coricopat; Sierra Laughlin as Tantomile; Grace Simonds as Carbuckety; Paige Kedrosky as Victor; Marissa Cooper as Alonzo; Madi Middleton as Pouncival; Erika Copeland as Electra; and Krista Weatherall as Cassandra. These cats and the idea for the musical “CATS” all arose out of T.S. Eliot’s work “Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.” The production team for this production of “CATS” saw Matt Dawber serve as producer, musical director and technical director. Ms. Marina Westbrook was the stage director and in charge of costumes while Mrs. Bonnie Rossiter was the choreography director. Ariel Hnatiw was the assistant stage director. Choreographers were Kate McClelland and Sydney Anderson while those in charge of marketing and publicity included Taylor hutchings, Meia Copeland, Victoria Gay, Emily Pilon and Kristyn Cooke.
Jana MacDonald and Ariel Hnatiw looked after photography while Kate McClelland served as the audition dance captain. Hair was looked after by Madi Middleton, Krista Weatherall, Christina VanLeeuwen, Allison O’Rourke, Andrea Ready, Sophie Shavrnoch, Bridget Galloway, Shannon McDonald, Emily Bureau, Emily Mount, Farrah Youssef, Sarah VanGalder and Daniella Atkinson. Makeup was done by Jana MacDonald, Lauren Hutchings, Emma Maslowe, Emma Baird, Sarah Wright, Shannon Lacombe, Sarah O’Rourke, Lauren Hay, Monika Quirion and Margaret Noble. Costumes were looked after by Evelyn Pageau, Victoria Gay, Emily Bureau, Charlotte Walters, Madi Middleton, Brooke Huneault, Krista Weatherall, Margaret Noble, Lana Souaid and Kristyn Cooke. Ryan MacNeil, William Sheldrick and Matt Nagy looked after the lighting while stage hands were Jason Hopkins, Scott Dorey and Mackenzie Dell. Sound people were Jeff Buffone, Joshua Vintners and Sam Gauthier while the set was created by the Sacred Heart Theatre Tech Class, Lana Souaid, Elli Seregelyi, Antonio Amato and Zoe Landry. This production of “CATS” was Sacred Heart’s entry in the annual high school theatre contest “The Cappies” this year. Each participating high school theatre production is reviewed by student critics from other high schools. This results in a writeup in the Ottawa Citizen and ultimately in judging for any number of awards which are presented at a gala awards night at the National Arts Centre in June.

Floats glow in Christmas Parade of Lights John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It was a three-letter parade for sure! Wow! And it really was a three-word parade as well! Wow! Wow! Wow! That’s because floats, many just laden with Christmas lights and some featuring spectacular Christmas figures and scenes like the giant inflated moose aboard the float of dentist Deschenes & Poitras or the array of inflated wintry characters on the lengthy Brown’s Your Independent Grocer float. But whether big or small, long or short, each and every one of the 60 or so floats that slowly made its way in the 6 p.m. darkness along Stittsville Main Street and its riverbanks of spectators added its own special glow and sparkle to this year’s annual Christmas Parade of Lights last Saturday, making it an evening to remember. And so whether it was the live donkey carrying a Mary figure in the Grace Baptist Church of Ottawa entry or the inflated wine bottles that floated above the Wine Villa float as it moved along the route or the nativity scene on the float of the Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish or the inflated snowman and penguin on the Main Street Café float or even the flashing emergency lights on the St. John Ambulance vehicle in the parade, each and every float made a contribution to the spectacular quality of this year’s parade. And once again this year, oohs and awhs prevailed among the onlookers whenever the Re/Max Realty float set off its hot air balloon flame, lighting up a stretch of the streetscape. We are not sure whether the warmth that was felt when the flame soared into the dark night came as a result of the glowing flame or from the glowing faces of the awe-struck onlookers. No matter – it was a spectacle for sure. And it was more than just flame and glow. The float also featured a pair of costumed figures waving to the crowd and lots of Christmas music (“I want to wish you a Merry Christmas” and more). And while the Re/Max hot air balloon float was spectacular, you still can’t beat that jolly red-suited gentleman Santa Claus for pure spectator reaction. As he moved along the route high up in the bucket of Stittsville’s “Ladder 81: The Pride of Stittsville” ladder truck of the Ottawa Fire Services, shouts rang out from all segments of the onlookers, both young and old – “Hi Santa.” Yes, he was the star of the show and that’s why again this year, as always, he brought up the rear of the parade.

Dressed up in costume as they portray the nativity scene on the Stittsville United Church float in the Christmas Parade of Lights in Stittsville last Saturday are, from left, Avory Johnson as Joseph, Alicia Byce as Mary with the Baby Jesus, David Larson as an Angel and Amanda Moore. One of the things that makes this annual Stittsville Parade of Lights parade so special is the constant exchange of Christmas greetings along the parade route – “Merry Christmas” being shouted from those riding on a float and a “Merry Christmas” reply coming from onlookers. No wonder the Christmas season in Stittsville really begins with this parade! And what would a parade be without music and this year’s had a lot, right from the bagpipes of the leading highland pipe band to music blasting from a number of floats – the Cheer Sport Sharks float, the float of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri which had among its riding dignitaries MP the Hon. Gordon O’Connor and MPP Jack MacLaren, the Brown’s YIG float which always has music with it and more. There even was some Grinch music in the air. One after another, floats moved along Stittsville Main Street and each one brought its own dash of Christmas and community spirit to the event. There was the lineup of fire vehicles, all with their emergency lights flashing. Not Christmas
lights to be sure but a sight to behold nonetheless. And this is a Christmas Parade of Lights, not a Parade of Christmas Lights, so these Ottawa Fire Services flashing lights were right where they should have been. When you speak of Christmas lights, though, the Main Street Community Services was just loaded with them, as were other floats. The Ottawa Hydro bucket truck entry in the parade was laden with Christmas lights, as you might expect for an entry from the city’s electrical utility. Or what about the two angels outlined by Christmas lights on the Guardian Angels Catholic School float. And so many floats were laden with people as well, some in costume like those on the Stittsville United Church’s “Spreading the Word” float with its costumed nativity characters but others in non-seasonal attire like the float-load of chanting Beavers or the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association array of youth wearing hockey jerseys or that Guardian Angels float bearing the two lighted angels but filled with plenty of young faces or the float carrying a
number of blue-jerseyed Goulbourn Rockets girls hockey players. Many went home from the parade with Stittsville Sobeys shopping bags as these were being handed out as the Stittsville Sobeys float made its way along the parade route. And the Brown Bear Child Care banner wishing everyone “A Beary Merry Christmas” was a cute touch to its parade entry. There were just so many floats and all added their flavour and spirit to this year’s parade. These included The Glen Scottish Restaurant, the Stittsville Legion, Pool Builders with its nativity scene, the tall Venta Preperatory School float publicizing the school’s 5 Star Camps, the Markham Hardwood Flooring entry, Rental Village, Dragonluck Kennels, Elite Fitness, Stittsville District Lions Club, realtor Julie Bazinet with her “Whoville” themed float complete with the Grinch, Toy Storage and Highway 7 Pet Retreat, Stittsville Child Care and Metal Supermarket. And there were even more! Crowds lined Stittsville Main Street for the parade, right from the departure point at the Ottawa Carleton Board of Education depot across from Brown’s YIG right through to past Orville Street, with huge numbers surrounding the Carp Road and Abbott Street intersections. Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club walked along the route, collecting donations for the Stittsville Food Bank. Members of the Kanata Stallions junior hockey team helped the Lions load food item donations into a trailer that was pulled along the route near the front of the parade. It took 35 minutes for all of the floats to leave the starting point at the School Board depot and the last of the floats, namely the fire truck carrying Santa Claus, passed through the Stittsville Main Street/Abbott Street intersection at Village Square Park a couple of minutes after 7 p.m. Snow from the season’s first snowfall earlier in the week covered the ground but the evening, while cool at about minus nine degrees Celsius, was free of precipitation and only a relatively gentle wind blew, not like last year’s bitterly cold bursts of wind. Following the parade, the Christmas lights in the trees at Village Square Park were turned on for the Christmas season, bringing a Christmas glow to the village but a glow only augmenting the glow of happiness and Christmas cheer which undoubtedly was shining on many a face after witnessing this year’s spectacular Christmas Parade of Lights, another of the community events organized by the Stittsville Village Association. Wow!

Love of dogs combines with desire to volunteer Steven Doucette
Special to the News
Luba Schmidt of Stittsville has loved dogs all her life. In addition, after raising her chil-
dren and working for 32 years, she wanted to start volunteering in the community. The Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind program called Puppy Walking has allowed her to combine her love
of dogs and her desire to volunteer. And really, the program is something of a misnomer because it entails much more than just walking. In addition to daily long walks in all sorts of weather, a volunteer
in this program must be willing to provide a loving home for a puppy who may one day assist someone as a guide dog. It’s a commitment that lasts from 12 to 18 months. For Luba, the program was ideal
– a perfect opportunity to combine her love of dogs with her desire to remain active and social while making a contribution to someone’s life. See PUPPY WALKER, page 45
SUBMITTED
Luba Schmidt of Stittsville is with Lydia, the puppy for which she is caring under the Puppy Walking program of the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind.

Puppy walker program Continued from page 44
â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is my ďŹ rst experience as a puppy walker,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have spent my time with a very sweet pup called Lydia. She is absolutely beautiful.â&#x20AC;? Lydia is, in fact, a cross between a golden retriever and a Labrador retriever, two of the breeds most used for guide dogs by Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. In the Puppy Walking program, puppies are placed into the homes of volunteers when they are approximately eight weeks of age. The volunteer tends to be conďŹ ned to the house quite a bit initially until the puppy has all of the required vaccinations at approximately 16 weeks of age. Then the volunteer is asked to take the puppy out to meet people and to experience new situations and environments that it may later encounter as a guide dog. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have taken Lydia to many types of stores, coffee shops, malls, parks, the cottage, dinner parties, and the homes of family and friends,â&#x20AC;?
Luba says. When Lydia gets a little older, the Puppy Walking program coordinator from Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind will help Luba train Lydia for travelling on OC Transpo. Some people are hesitant in taking on such a volunteer position with the Puppy Walking program. Usually this happens for one of two reasons. One is a lack of experience in training a dog leading to a fear of doing it correctly. The other is knowing that you have to give the dog back to the organization when it is ready to enter into formal training to become a guide dog. But Luba Schmidt points out that Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind provides great support for volunteers who take a puppy. She notes that there are regularly scheduled visits to help you and answer any questions. Regular obedience training is also provided. And a volunteer does not have to worry about being tied down totally for 18 months with the puppy, without any opportunity for a break. Ca-
nadian Guide Dogs for the Blind has a boarding service in which a puppy can be boarded with another puppy walker while a volunteer takes a vacation. Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind also provides all of the food, toys, training courses, boarding and veterinary services that the puppy will need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask for more,â&#x20AC;? Luba says. Luba, though, has been thinking about the time when she will have to give Lydia back to Canadian Guide Dogs for the blind for her formal guide dog training and is worries her a bit. But she is looking at it philosophically and positively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know in my heard that it will be a sad day when she leaves our family,â&#x20AC;? Luba says about Lydia. But she says that she looks upon it like raising a child whom a parent knows will one day have a life of its own. This is how she looks upon raising Lydia and then letting her go in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day she (Lydia) will go on to do wonderful things with her life,â&#x20AC;? Luba says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She may walk a young bride down the aisle or walk a gradu-
ate across the stage at convocation.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will it be hard to give her up?â&#x20AC;? she asks about Lydia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely!,â&#x20AC;? she answers herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Will there be tears?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Absolutely!â&#x20AC;? But she says that Lydia will always be a part of her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lydia will be an incredible dog that helps her owner fulďŹ ll his or her dreams,â&#x20AC;? Luba says. Luba also says that before becoming a puppy walker, a volunteer should have the support and commitment of the entire family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although an individual will be the main puppy walker, the puppy just naturally becomes a big part of your family, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that everyone understands the process and expectations,â&#x20AC;? Luba says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone should be committed to the puppy.â&#x20AC;? The Puppy Walking program does require a big commitment and there are challenges along the way. For Luba, some of the challenges were the special rules that may not apply to pet dogs such as Lydia not being permitted to play fetch or to sleep on a bed. But there are positives as well, such as being able to take the puppy into public places like a grocery store, restaurant and hotel.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest reward is knowing that I am helping to make the life of a visually impaired individual a little easier,â&#x20AC;? she says, noting that a guide dog will provide both independence and companionship for its eventual owner. Dog Walking program volunteers do not have to be retired. Volunteers include post-secondary students, part-time workers, homemakers, individuals who work from home or those who own a business. The main thing is that the puppy cannot be left at home alone all day long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the main trait for a successful puppy walker is someone who loves and appreciates dogs and is willing to completely integrate the puppy into their family,â&#x20AC;? Luba says. She says that love and patience are important in raising the puppy. If you are interested in learning more about Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Puppy Walking program, you can phone 613-692-7777 or email info@guidedogs.ca. You can also sign up for an upcoming hour long information session about the program. These information sessions are held at the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Training Centre in Manotick.
SVA director Councillor Qadri praises SVA steps down John Curry

News - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) came in for some praise by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri at its annual general meeting on Thursday, Nov. 28. In his remarks at the meeting, councillor Qadri used the Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s initials, SVA, as the basis for his comments, saying that in his mind SVA stands for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valuable Associationâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stittsville Value Added.â&#x20AC;?

News - David Jenkins has stepped down from being a director on the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). He ďŹ rst joined the SVA executive in 2003 and has been a stalwart on the executive ever since. In fact, his connection with the SVA goes back even before 2003 and right to the SVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founding as he was part of the team which worked to put the organization together in 2001. However, he himself did not join as a director until 2003 as he, along with others such as Metin Akgun and the late Andy Dunlop, were trying to keep the former Wyldewood Homeowners Association going at the time. In his years as a director with the SVA, Mr. Jenkins had handled the planning portfolio, keeping abreast of development proposals in the community and preparing the SVA comments on such proposals. He said at the SVAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2013 annual general meeting on Thursday evening, Nov. 28 that it was not a sudden decision on his part to step down as a director with the SVA. He said that he had had his â&#x20AC;&#x153;walk in the snowâ&#x20AC;? two years ago but some arm twisting had resulted in him staying on
ecutive bring with them abilities and talents that just cannot be found anywhere. He noted, for example, the expertise which David Jenkins has brought to planning matters on behalf of the SVA over the years, remarking that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get such expertise and commitment just anywhere. Councillor Qadri noted the value that the SVA has provided in forming partnerships in the community such as its relationship with Stittsville Sobeys or even its relationships with residents in the community. He praised the SVA for the value that it adds to the community in simply bring the community together. The SVA sponsors events such as the Christmas Parade of Lights, Art in the Park, the Canada Day
celebrations and Villagefest. In addition to its â&#x20AC;&#x153;value addedâ&#x20AC;? contributions to community life, the SVA also adds value to the rest of the city, whether it is by making presentations at Ottawa city hall or through the Federation of Community Associations. Councillor Qadri complimented the SVA on its â&#x20AC;&#x153;long legacy of success in this community.â&#x20AC;? He noted that the Stittsville community is growing and changing and will continue to do so for the next 15 or 20 years or more. But he said that such change will help the community move forward, with more people able to shop in the community.

David Jenkins for the past two years. But now his decision is being implemented and he did not stand for re-election in the SVA elections. But although he will no longer be on the SVA board of directors, he said that he would be sticking around to clean up some loose ends on some of the current planning issues. He also said that he will be available to provide â&#x20AC;&#x153;corporate memoryâ&#x20AC;? on matters and to give a hand to his successor if needed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a blast,â&#x20AC;? he said with regard to his decade long involvement with the SVA. The role of SVA director in charge of planning matters is now being assumed by SVA director Ayah Stretch.

It was where male staff members of the Royal Bank branch on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville along with others turned to get their Movember moustaches removed. And Heads Up barber shop owner Frank Olszynko is certainly familiar with moustaches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he himself sported one for 40 years before removing it
two years ago. There is a newspaper article mounted on the wall of the barber shop at the Ultramar plaza on Stittsville Main Street that includes a photo of the moustached Frank. And, believe you me, it was quite a moustache. Drop in and have a look at the picture sometime. And while it took a month for the Royal Bank staff members including manager Rick Langford to grow their moustaches, it took only minutes for Frank Olszynko to remove them with his razor and electric clippers and then soothe the barren upper chin areas with some soothing hot lather. Besides the Royal Bank staff mem-
bers, who gathered at the barber shop at 1 p.m., there at the same time was Blair Schilt who grew both a moustache and beard for Movember as he has done in the past. But Saturday was the time to have them removed and received attention not only from Frank Olszynko but also from barber Steve Baroud who has worked with Frank previously and whose father, just like Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, was a barber. Indeed, Frankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was also there in some respect as Frank used his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional technique in removing Blair Schiltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beard and moustache, a technique which involves not only shaving and clipping
but also applications of cream and a mud pack which is then dried with a blower to allow the mud to draw the cream out of the pores of the face. It is all very elaborate but Blair, who was experiencing such a technique for the first time, said that it felt great. The fellows at Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Royal Bank branch on Hazeldean Road sported moustaches for the month of November to raise both awareness and funds for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health. Donations of support were taken for them at the branch. This was part of an effort at Royal Bank branches across Canada to raise funds and awareness through in-

volvement with Movemeber. Nationally it is expected that Royal Bank moustached-staff members will raise over $275,000 this year. Movember, which began in Australia in 2003, has grown to become a global movement with more than 3.9 million involved, living in 21 countries around the world. The purpose of Movember is to use the visual power of the moustache to raise funds and awareness to combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges. Funds raised go to support menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health programs that combat these health challenges for men.

Old-Fashioned Christmas Special to the News
News - At one table at the Goulbourn Museum, youngsters could write a letter to Santa and then drop it into a big Royal Mail bag for special delivery to the jolly red-suited gentleman. This was but one activity for youngsters at the Old-Fashioned Christmas Art & Craft Sale which was held at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners last Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. There was also a craft table set up. Outside, under an open-sided tent, there were wooden vintage toys with which youngsters could discover how youth in the heritage past amused
themselves. Youngsters also had the opportunity to try rope making and got to take home a skipping rope. There was also lots of cookies and hot chocolate to enjoy, perhaps while sitting around the roaring fire surrounded by hay bale seating, all beneath a leafless tree adorned with some giant Christmas ornaments. And there were costumed volunteers around to help in any way needed. Inside a tent complex set up in the usual paved parking area at the front of the annex building and beside the Museum, there was an assortment of vendors for an art and craft show. The tent complex was warmed thanks to

giant tubes feeding warm air into the space. Among the items available from the vendors were wreaths, holiday treats, jewellery, cards, soap, hand quilted blankets and pottery. There was a raffle draw for a Christmas arrangement and woodfired pizza was being baked right on site. And what would an old-fashioned Christmas event be without Santa Claus paying a visit. And the red-suited jolly gentleman did drop in at the Museum and found a big wooden armchair to his liking where he greeted and chatted with visiting youngsters. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Creating Richmond’s street banners John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
SUBMITTED
Abu Alibhai stands beside the “Winter Wonderland” street banner which he designed and then painted last Saturday in preparation for the unveiling of all of the street banners at the Lighting of the Park ceremony at Memorial Park in Richmond this Saturday, Dec. 7 at 6 p.m.
News - The basement hall at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond became an artists’ studio last Saturday. And the artists were the 25 youngsters who submitted the winning designs in the “Winter Wonderland” street banner contest held by the Richmond Village Association. Last Saturday these young artists got to create their winning winter scene designs on the blue banners which will be hung from light posts along Perth and McBean Streets in the village this winter. One of the artists was eight year old Trinity Shane who has had her design selected for a street banner for three straight years now. This year her banner features a couple of penguins and an owl, along with some snowflakes. Her younger sister Avery Shane, who is five years old, was a rookie artist this year as her design featuring a Christmassy-looking owl was also selected as the design for one of the street banners. These banners will be formally unveiled as a group at this Saturday’s Lighting of the Park
ceremony at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth and McBean Streets. This 6 p.m. ceremony will also see each of the young street banner artists recognized and honoured. The banners will then be
hung on various poles along both McBean Street and Perth Street for the winter. This street banner contest is a longstanding annual project of the Richmond Village Association. The banners are all sponsored
by a Richmond area business or organization. All youngsters in the Richmond area are eligible to submit a design entry into the contest. All of the entries are judged, with 25 selected for creation on a street banner.

came. Very few of us wore slacks during school hours. Sometimes we put on melton cloth pants that tucked into our galoshes and wore them on the five-and-a-half-kilometre trek, but they were taken off when we got to school, and hung in the cloak room at the back. Miss Crosby frowned on girls in pants in the 1930’s. But just about every girl at Northcote School wore navy blue fleecelined bloomers. Well, all except Marguirite, who thought they were, as she called them, ugly and not “girl-like”. Joyce, who was very inquisitive, was determined she would find out what Marguirite wore to keep warm if she didn’t wear the blue bloomers. And one day she “accidentally” tripped her when we were lining up at the door after Miss Crosby rang the bell, and Marguirite went backside over tea-kettle and fell off the step, exposing everything she owned to the entire school. Well, she hadn’t lied about the blue bloomers. She had on bloomers as white as the driven snow, and Joyce who was closest to her at the fall, said they had fine purple lines through them. She got a real good look, did Joyce. They must have been bought at Walker’s Store in Renfrew, not from Eaton’s catalogue where ours came from. And so this time of year, you could count on the rest of the girls at Northcote School wearing the exact same underwear. Early in the fall, Mother would have ordered at least one new pair from Eaton’s catalogue when she sent in her winter order, but they wouldn’t be worn early in the season. They would be saved for much later. Much later came when the old bloomers had faded to a light purple and a few holes started to appear. This happened from many turns sliding down the snow that was piled over the back fence at school, just in front of the outdoor rink. The boys in Senior Fourth would have built the snow slide and doused it with pails of water from the pump and when they were finished and it had frozen solid, it provided many recess hours of sliding down on our backsides. Of course, the bloomers took the full brunt of the icy slide and it didn’t take long for the navy blue dye to fade.

And many was the day, after recess was over, we went back into the school, and sat on wet bottoms until it was time to go home at four o’clock! But it didn’t matter how faded the bloomers became; the new ones were kept for special occasions. Special occasions meant going to church, or visiting neighbours for the Saturday night house parties. And on Christmas morning, I was allowed to wear the new bloomers, because after all, it was a “going to church” day too. The bloomers had elastic legs, but the elastic was never taut enough to hold up our beige ribbed stockings. So we still had to wear tight elastic bands for that purpose. Of course, we could pull the legs of the bloomers down to cover the bands, and when we undressed at night before going to bed, it wasn’t unusual to have deep furrows in our legs where the elastic was worn all day. When I got into bed at night beside my sister Audrey, I would still be scratching the dents in my legs until Audrey would slap me on my back and tell me to “cut it out, you’re driving me crazy with all that scratching.” By mid-winter the navy blue bloomers, from the wear and tear they got and the many washings with homemade lye soap, would spring a hole, usually around the elastic legs or on the elastic waist band. That’s when I would lament to Mother that the bloomers were done for. Even when mending them with navy thread failed to make them presentable, they would be deemed unwearable, much to my delight. Now, I would get the brand new bloomers that had been tucked away since early fall, and I was glad to see the last of the old faded ones. But that wasn’t to be the end of the old bloomers. Oh no, they were put to another use by Mother. The elastic was taken out of the legs and waist, and put in the sewing basket. The bloomers were sliced open and cut into at least two pieces. Then they were tucked into the rag bag, and used for dusting, wiping up spills, and of course they were ideal for scrubbing the floors every Saturday. Like everything else back in the Depression years, the bloomers were recycled decades before the term was ever heard of.

Baked turkey spring rolls great for using up leftovers Special to the News
Lifestyle - Deep-fried spring rolls tend to be high in fat, but baked ones taste just as good. You can achieve a crispy wrapper by brushing the spring rolls lightly with oil before baking. These rolls are a great way to use leftover turkey. Preparation time: 25 minutes. Cooking time: 35 minutes. Makes 20 spring rolls. Ingredients * 125 g (4 oz) rice vermicelli * 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil * 1 onion, diced * 3 cloves garlic, minced * 15 ml (1 tbsp) grated fresh gingerroot * 500 ml (2 cups) shredded red cabbage * 1 l (4 cups) coarsely chopped cooked turkey (about 500 g/1 lb)
* 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each salt and pepper * 2 large carrots, grated (about 500 ml/2 cups) * 500 ml (2 cups) bean sprouts * 1 pkg (275 g/9.7 oz) large square spring roll wrappers * 1 egg yolk, beaten Sweet Chili Sauce * 175 ml (3/4 cup) hoisin sauce * 50 ml (1/4 cup) water * 2 cloves garlic, minced * 15 ml (1 tbsp) each liquid honey and rice vinegar * 10 ml (2 tsp) sambal oelek or hot chili sauce Preparation Sweet chili sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the hoisin sauce, water, garlic, honey, vinegar and sambal oelek until the honey is dissolved.
Open Table community dinner Special to the News
News - The next Open Table community dinner in Stittsville will take place on Saturday, Dec. 14. As always, it will be held at
St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Carleton Cathcart Street and Stittsville Main Street. The doors open at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 14, with the meal available at 5
p.m. sharp. The meal is free although there is a box for donations if a person wishes to give one. Everyone is welcome to attend this free Open Table community dinner.
Set aside. Cover the rice vermicelli in hot water and soak for 10 minutes or until it’s soft. Drain very well, using a fine sieve to extract as much liquid as possible. Cut the noodles into five-centimetre (two-inch) lengths and set aside. In a large skillet, heat 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the oil over medium-high heat. Cook the onion, garlic and ginger, stirring, until softened -about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the cabbage. Cover the skillet and cook until tender-crisp, about five minutes. Add the turkey and 250 ml (1 cup) of the sauce, salt and pepper and cook, stirring to coat, for two minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in the carrots, bean sprouts and rice vermicelli and let cool.
Lay one spring roll wrapper on your work surface with a point facing away from you. Place 125 ml (1/2 cup) of the turkey mixture just below the centre of the wrapper. Fold the bottom point of wrapper over filling. Roll over once, so filling is enclosed. Fold over sides and continue rolling. Using your fingertip, dab a bit of egg on the top point of the wrapper to seal the roll. Repeat this process with the remaining filling and wrappers. Place the rolls on a greased baking sheet. Brush the remaining oil lightly all over the spring rolls and bake in a 220 C (425 F) oven, turning once, until they’re crisp and golden - about 25 minutes. Serve with the remaining sauce.

Capacity may attract imported waste Special to the News
News - The campaign “Don’t Let Ottawa Go To Waste” which is an initiative of the coalition of community groups opposed to a new landfill site on the Carp Road at highway 417 claims that Ottawa has twice as many landfills within its boundaries than any provincial capital city in Canada. This claim is based on a study that
also shows that Ottawa has an approved annual landfill capacity from the four existing landfills within its boundaries of over 1,000,000 tonnes. Currently Ottawa disposes of about 675,000 tonnes of garbage each year. In addition, proposed new landfills including the one by Waste Management on Carp Road could add an additional annual capacity of nearly
750,000 tonnes to this total capacity in the area. Another factor is that there is a landfill at Moose Creek, just east of the city of Ottawa, that has an approved annual capacity of 775,000 tonnes. Putting this excess capacity together with the facts that this excess capacity will provide a cheap disposal site for waste from across Ontario and that the Carp Road pro-
posal includes at its service area the entire province, the coalition feels that Ottawa may see waste imported to these landfill sites from other parts of Ontario. The city of Ottawa did request that the proposed new Carp Road landfill have a service area limited to the city and adjacent Lanark County but such a condition was not included in the Ministry of the Environment’s approval of the Environ-
mental Assessment for the proposed new Carp Road landfill. The coalition of community groups that has been and is continuing to fight any new landfill site on the Carp Road includes the Stittsville Village Association, nodump.ca, the Richardson Corridor Community Association, Moving Mountains, OttawaLandfillWatch.org and the Huntley Manor Community Association.

‘We Need A Little Christmas’ concert coming up on Tuesday, Dec. 10 Special to the News
News - An evening of a cappella song will be happening in Stittsville this coming Tuesday, Dec. 10. That’s when the “Chapman Mills Sound Connection” will be in Stittsville to present a concert of upbeat familiar music interspersed with some Christmas songs and carols. In addition, this approximately 25 voice
chorus will have two barbershop quartets as its guest artists that evening, namely the male barbershop quartet “Hallmark” and also the ladies barbershop quartet “4Gone Conclusion.” The “Chapman Mills Sound Connection” is based in Barrhaven but does have a few Stittsville members. Under the direction of Tony Bove, the chorus will be performing on Tuesday, Dec. 10 at

7:30 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. And what is an added plus to this evening of unforgettable a cappella barbershop music is that the price of admission is simply a non-perishable food item from everyone who attends. These food items collected as the price of admission will be divided equally between the Stittsville and Barrhaven Food Banks. The “Chapman Mills Sound Connection” is a competitive singing group. Last year it came within one and a half points of earning the right to compete in the Internationals in Orlando, Florida. This was considered extraordinary for a chorus that is only three years old.
This winter, “Chapman Mills Sound Connection” will be competing against up to 16 other groups in the Area Competition of Harmony Inc. which is being held in Portland, Maine. The “Chapman Mills Sound Connection” is holding this concert “We Need A Little Christmas” to become better known in the areas surrounding Barrhaven where it is already well known. The concert will also help the Stittsville and Barrhaven Food Banks. After the concert on Tuesday, Dec. 10, there will be refreshments served in the downstairs hall at the church. For more information about this concert, please contact Joan Palmer of Stittsville at 613836-4126.
Parade and more in Richmond Special to the News
News - The Christmas spirit will be erupting in Richmond this Saturday, Dec. 7. How could it not, with the annual Santa Claus Parade happening as well as the annual Lighting of the Park ceremony, complete with the unveiling of the “My Winter Wonderland” street banners for this year. All of this packed into one day – and less than three weeks before Christmas Day. Wow, what a day (and evening) it’s going to be! The Santa Claus Parade itself will get underway at 11 a.m., with the floats and Santa Claus himself moving north-
ward along McBean Street from South Carleton High School right through to Perth Street where the parade will turn west and finish up at the Richmond Plaza. Floats and parade entries from community businesses, organizations, community groups and schools are expected in the parade. But the Christmas celebration is not over when the parade ends. There’s the annual Post Parade Meet ‘n Greet for Santa at the plaza, with cocoa and a bowl of chili available while youngsters will get a chance to visit with Santa himself.
And if this were not enough for one day, there’s more. At 6 p.m. at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street, the annual “Lighting of the Park” ceremony will take place, with the formal turning on of the Christmas lights on the trees in the park for the Christmas season. The ceremony will also see the unveiling of this year’s 25 “My Winter Wonderland” street banners depicting a favourite winter activity, sport or scene. These banners will be hung on street light poles along both McBean Street and Perth Street.
