Elves will be delivering 1,000 stockings this Christmas by Kelly McCarthy k.mccarthy@metroland.com
Elves are hard at work at the Hazeldean Mall in Kanata, creating the perfect stockings for people in need this holiday season. The third annual Stocking Project launched on Dec. 1, kicking off the volunteer campaign that aims to surprise more than 1,000 people in Kanata, Carp and Stittsville with stockings this Christmas. The initiative was started three
years ago by Mother Elf – also known as Crystal Smalldon – who wanted to do something to help her neighbour whose husband was going through chemotherapy. Using her garage as home base, Smalldon put together 200 stockings that first year. Since then, the initiative has snowballed, she said. “This community is just so generous,” she said. “We are able to help more and more people every year thanks to them. I am blown away constantly by the generosity.” The Stocking Project headquarters at the Ha-

Launching the 2016 Stocking Project for Kanata, Carp and Stittsville at the Hazeldean Mall on Dec. 1 by cutting a ribbon are (from left) city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, Mother Elf Crystal Smalldon, Kanata North ward councillor Marianne Wilkinson, Elf Natasha Sidwell of Stittsville and Kanata south ward councillor Allan Hubley.
zeldean Mall is as close to a bona fide elf workshop as you can get outside of the North Pole. The space, which used to be the seniors’ centre, was donated by the Hazeldean Mall after the project grew out of Smalldon’s garage and the back hallway of a Target last year. Already, it is filled with more than 10,000 donated gifts that community members have dropped off for the cause. Hundreds of stuffed animals, toothbrushes and treats are neatly organized, waiting for elves to “shop” for items to fill the stockings closer to Christmas. The Stocking Project is an anonymous way to help out a family in need around Christmas. Jeff Robinson, one of the project’s volunteers, said that the initiative aims to help those who might be down on their luck this Christmas or who might just need a small boost to make it through the holidays. “We aim to provide a helping hand to those who wouldn’t normally ask for help,” he said. The process is simple: the Stocking Project takes anonymous referrals from the community, making note of just the age and gender of the stocking recipients. They’ll collect donations of stocking stuffers until Dec. 20, when the elves will then “shop” the shelves of the workshop to fill their stockings specifically for each recipient. Then, on Dec. 21 and 23, upwards of 80 elves will deliver the stockings by ringing the recipients’ doorbells and then running quickly away, keeping the process completely anonymous the whole way through, Robinson said. “In some cases, the recipient might not even know they were nominated,” he said. “It’s a fun surprise.” As of the project’s launch, Robinson

said they had about 200 referrals for stockings and upwards of 10,000 donated gifts. “The need right now is matching the requests,” he said, “but the reality is that referrals will keep coming in.” Smalldon said that the month of December brings in about 95 per cent of their referrals, and she anticipates an upswing in the coming days. However, she is optimistic that they’ll fulfil their 1,000-stocking goal. The Stocking Project didn’t officially start collecting donations until the Dec. 1 launch, and already they were inundated with kindness and donations. “It is so, so busy in here,” Smalldon said. “It is way busier than I ever expected it would be this early in the game.” The Stocking Project will be collecting donations of stocking stuffers (everything from toys to toiletries) until Dec. 20 at the Hazeldean Mall location (across from The Source). They are 100 per cent volunteer run, so Robinson said their hours at the workshop can vary, but all of that information can be found on their Facebook page by searching The Stocking Project 2016 Kanata, Carp & Stittsville. Referrals for stockings recipients can be made by contacting Smalldon at kanatastockings@ outlook.com. More elf help is always appreciated too, Smalldon said. Anyone wanting to donate their time to help the cause can contact her at the same email address. Christmas is the season of giving, Smalldon said, and helping your community is a great way to demonstrate that. “I can’t even describe how it feels to give back during the holidays,” she said. “There’s simply no better feeling.”
Peanuts characters to come alive by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Here comes Charlie Brown!. The iconic Peanuts character and his friends will come alive in the play “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which is being this Sunday, Dec. 11 at 10 a.m. and again at 3 p.m. at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend and enjoy this play about the true meaning of Christmas which has become a Christmas tradition since it first aired on television in 1965. It’s free to attend. All of the Peanuts characters will appear in this play “A Charlie Brown Christmas” including not only Charlie Brown himself but his little sister Sally, his nemesis Lucy van Pelt and her brother Linus, Snoopy, Pig-Pen,
U-Rock Music School concert Special to the News
The sounds of the festive season will fill the air at Hurley’s Neighbourhood Grill in Stittsville on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 18. This will be thanks to music students from Stittsville’s U-Rock Music School who will be presenting a free pre-Christmas concert, an event that has become a tradition with the U-Rock Music School. The 3 p.m. concert will feature performances by the all-girl group The Roxies, the teen band The Crushers and dozens of individual and duet performances, all geared to put the audience in the Christmas spirit. “The holiday season is so magical for children,” says U-Rock co-owner and vocal teacher Cathy Hallessey. “We love to share that joy by inviting anyone who needs a bit of cheer to join us and sing along to many traditional songs and a few new ones too. Everyone is welcome. That’s what Christmas is all about.” Hurley’s Neighbourhood Grill is located in the Shops of Main Street plaza on Stittsville Main Street at Carp Road in Stittsville.
Violet, Frieda, Schroeder, Patty, and Woodstock. Youth from Stittsville United Church with their real life brothers and sisters playing siblings in the production will make up the cast of this presentation of “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” They are preparing for the production under the direction of Rick Gourlie. Allison Houston, the musical director at Stittsville United Church, has assembled a small band of local musicians who will provide Vince Guaraldi’s famous jazz score for the play. “A Charlie Brown Christmas” was first presented in Dec. 1965 as an animated television special based on the comic strip “Peanuts” by Charles M. Schulz. The initial broadcast received high ratings and critical acclaim and it has since become an annual broadcast on television, airing annually during the Christmas season. Its jazz soundtrack also achieved widespread success. In “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” Charlie Brown finds himself depressed despite the coming of Christmas. Lucy suggests that he direct a school Christmas play but in doing so he is ignored and mocked by his friends. The story touches on the over
commercialization and secularism of Christmas today while reminding people of the true meaning of Christmas which is the birth of Jesus Christ. Charlie Brown, dispatched to obtain a “big, shiny aluminum tree,” instead chooses a tiny real tree which is ridiculed by the group. Charlie puts an ornamental ball on top of the tree with the branch promptly flopping over to one side. Eventually the rest of the gang, along with Snoopy, decorate the tree and end up singing “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” as Charlie Brown returns and he is greeted with “Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown.” Charles M. Schulz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip which had become a worldwide sensation by the early 1960’s, was involved in the creation of this play “A Charlie Brown Christmas” which was also created thanks to the efforts of television producer Lee Mendelson and animator Bill Melendez. The play was developed and produced in a six month period leading up to Dec. 1965. The stage version of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” follows the story line of the initial television special. It has been performed at hundreds of schools and churches over the years.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
December 8, 2016 Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed Location of the Ottawa Hospital - Civic Campus There was some discussion in the air last week regarding the future location for the Civic Campus of the Ottawa Hospital. Two weeks ago, the National Capital Commission (NCC) approved the recommendation to relocate the campus to Tunney’s Pasture The NCC decided upon this location based on a variety of factors including nearby Light Rail Transit (LRT) access, its close proximity to the region’s urban core, multiple access points, smallest impact to natural, public recreation with a large variety of surface parking areas, and more. However, many Ottawa residents felt that this location was too far away from major highway routes such as the 417, the current campus on Carling Avenue and the ongoing-renovations of the Heart Institute adjacent to the current campus on Ruskin Street (which plans to remain where it is), thereby delaying services in times of emergency. I agree with these concerns and as such, was not in approval of the proposed location. As Councillor for the Stittsville area, I believe it is imperative that our residents have ease of access to any proposed medical facilities within the Ottawa area. It is also important that any proposal which directly affects the health and safety of all Ottawa residents be received with a broad consensus from the public. I do not believe that the Tunney’s Pasture location garnered that consensus. That said, I am happy to inform residents that last Friday, Mayor Watson along with the Federal National Capital Region Government Caucus and the Ottawa Provincial Government Caucus decided as a collective to ignore the NCC’s recommendation and instead recommend the former Sir John Carling Building site as the preferred location for the new Civic Campus. This is great news not just for right now but for the residents of Ottawa the next one hundred years who will benefit from a better Civic Campus built in the best location for an ever expanding City. I hope that residents will be pleased with this news as I certainly am. With these steps in motion, I look forward to seeing the next phase of this process which will include presenting this decision to the Federal government for approval. Until then, please do not hesitate to share your thoughts with me at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. 5618 Hazeldean Road Proposed Development The City of Ottawa has received a Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision to permit a residential subdivision containing a variety of housing types as well as parks, a school site, stormwater management pond block and commercial development. This proposal is based on the Fernbank Community Design Plan (CDP) adopted by City Council in 2009. This development will provide a variety of residential units and amenity space in the subdivision. In addition, it will also benefit the greater community with the extension of Robert Grant Avenue to connect to Hazeldean Road. This is an important piece of transportation infrastructure for the whole community and eventually this road will connect further north to Palladium to provide another direct access to Highway 417. Plan of Subdivision Proposal Details The proposed development contains approximately 1845 residential dwelling units made up of low, medium and high density housing types placed in a modified grid street pattern. The low density residential blocks are located in the central portion of the subdivision and are comprised of detached, semidetached and townhouse dwellings. The medium density residential blocks, located along Robert Grant Avenue, stacked units and low-rise apartments. The high density residential block is located at the intersection of Abbott Street and Robert Grant Avenue, in proximity to a future transit station. The mixed use blocks located along Hazeldean Road and Robert Grant Avenue will accommodate a variety of commercial or office uses to serve the needs of the community and a neighbourhood commercial block is located on the west side of Robert Grant Avenue. There are blocks for an elementary school, a park and ride, a stormwater management pond, four 0.8-ha parks and open space corridors along the watercourse and Hydro transmission corridor. The proposed street network is based on the Fernbank CDP Demonstration Plan. Robert Grant Avenue will provide a north-south arterial from Abbott Street East to Hazeldean Road and Abbott Street East will extend from Robert Grant Avenue to the easterly limit of the property. Street No. 3 will also extend from Robert Grant Avenue to the easterly boundary of the site, connecting with a collector street in the subdivision to the east. For more information please visit my website or contact my office. For questions and to provide comments by January 5, 2017 please contact myself and the City Planner Kathy Rygus at Kathy.Rygus@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424, ext. 28318. Please note there will also be a public meeting held in the community on this development that will be arranged for a date in the new year. Residents are encouraged to provide comments at this time and at the public meeting residents will be provided another opportunity to also share their comments on the proposed development. Always Listening As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. Please contact our office anytime by phone at 613-580-2476 or by e-mail at Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. If you are a Stittsville resident of Ward 6 and would like to be added to my weekly electronic outreach list, please contact my office to ensure you receive pertinent information concerning our community. Further information about any of these articles can be found on my website or you can contact my office to obtain details.

Town-Hall Meetings On Hydro Rates Special thanks to everyone who came out to the town-hall meetings that I hosted these past two weeks. We heard an excellent presentation by hydro expert Parker Gallant. He explained how the government has concealed all sorts of costs within your bill. I wanted to organise these meetings because a lot of my constituents have been wondering why the cost of hydro is so high. They’ve been wondering how bills can go up even if you use less hydro. I wanted to help them get to the bottom of it. The bottom line is this. If secret costs were attached to any other product or service, there would be outrage. The Competition Bureau would undoubtedly come crashing down on the offending company. Just think of a food store that charged you more for buying less milk. Outrage would be overwhelming. Think about this next time you open your hydro bill.

Sacred Heart Catholic High School is offering a Specialist High Skills Major in business for the first time and Emma Laight and Avery McIntosh are two students who are happy to be involved with the program. A Specialist High Skills Major is a program that allows a student to focus on a particular field of study in his or her grade 11 and 12 years. Different high schools offer different Specialist High Skills Major programs depending on the presence of teachers with expertise in the subject and on student interest. For Emma and Avery who are both in grade 11, the introduction of this Specialist High Skills Major in business came along at just the right time as both of them have an interest in learning more about business and a possible future career in the field. Emma is already focused on a career in the high end hospitality field and even more specifically a possible career as a stewardess in the yachting industry, working on upscale charter ships in both the Caribbean and Mediterrean. Emma is comfortable on the water, having spent a fair amount of time sailing with her family. She thinks that being involved with the high end yachting industry will be a “fun way to travel and explore at the same time.”
She feels that the Specialist High Skills Major in business is helping her to be as prepared as possible for university and her later career in business. The Specialist High Skills Major in business program also has a coop component and she will be doing her co-op experience at Canadian Tire Place, involved in events planning and administration. She hopes that this will give her a good appreciation of the business side of that industry and, indeed, some real world experience in the field. For Avery, she found that she learned easily in an introduction to business course last year and so she is enjoying the increased focus on business courses that the Specialist High Skills Major in business program is giving her. She notes the various certifications such as first aid which are part of the Specialist High Skills Major program, saying that they should be beneficial in having on her resume when applying to university. She does not know her specific career path yet but she admits to being intrigued by international business which might be a possibility since she also likes to travel. “I love everything about business,” she says, explaining that to her everything seems to make sense when viewed from a business perspective. Emma likes the Specialist High Skills Major in business program because more of its courses are in tune with her “likes” and the pro-
gram allows her to focus on what she enjoys. She is happy that the program is being offered at Sacred Heart. There is a Specialist High Skills Major in hospitality program offered but it is at another Ottawa Catholic School Board school and it would have meant that she would have had to leave Sacred Heart for the other school. She did not want to leave Sacred Heart to be able to benefit from a Specialist High Skills Major program because she likes Sacred Heart. Avery admits that she will never be a nurse or a doctor or a lawyer but that business provides her with a field in which she can succeed. She feels that the Specialist High Skills Major in business program at Sacred Heart will really benefit her in the future. “I’m very much set on business,” she notes. She says that she is comfortable speaking in public and wishes that there were more opportunities for public speaking in the program. But she says that this new Specialist High Skills Major in business at Sacred Heart is very organized with the teachers very supportive and involved with the program.

Nine goals meant victory in the Stittsville Town League last week. Both winning teams scored nine goals in chalking up their victories in action on Thursday, Dec. 1. Laurysen Kitchens scored nine
goals in beating the Cabling Ottawa squad 9-3 while Molson’s defeated Pro2Col 9-6 in the other game. Laurysen Kitchens led 3-2 against Cabling Ottawa after the first period and had extended the lead to 5-2 by the end of the second period. Laurysen Kitchens ended up winning the game by a 9-3 score.
Royals win after 9-3 loss by John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The Richmond Royals skated back to their winning ways last Sunday, Dec. 4 after suffering a 9-3 loss to the Ottawa West Golden Knights in a game on Saturday night, less than 24 hours earlier. Facing the visiting Renfrew Timberwolves in a game at the Richmond arena, the Royals spotted the visitors the opening goal of the game at the 2:35 mark of the first period and then rattled off four straight goals to end up winning by a 5-2 score. It was 1-1 after the first period but the Royals had built up a 4-1 lead after the second period. The teams exchanged goals in the third period so that the final score was 5-2 for the Royals. The Royals peppered the Renfrew net with 45 shots while Renfrew managed just 29 shots at Richmond netminder Nick Bond. Scoring for the Royals in this game were Jordan Boutilier, Aaron Hickie, Dawson Maisonneauve, Mason Farnes and Matt Allan. Picking up assists for the Royals in the game were Matt Allan, Aaron Hickie, Mackenzie Mercier, TJ Price, Patrick Yates, Mason Farnes, Dawson Maisonneauve, Mike DiBello and Matt Veaudry. The Dec. 3 Central Canada Hockey League tier 2 game between the hometown Richmond Royals and the visiting Ottawa West Golden Knights at the Richmond arena saw the two nets peppered with a total of 112 shots. The Ottawa West Golden Knights
directed 60 shots at Richmond Royals goalies Patrick Kealey and Nick Bond while the Royals ended up with 52 shots at the Ottawa West net. But while the shots on net, while plentiful, were fairly even, the score was anything but as the visiting Golden Knights skated away with a 9-3 victory over the hometown Royals. The score was a close 2-1 for the Ottawa West Golden Knights after the first period with the shots also being fairly close, with Ottawa West having 18 shots at the Richmond net that period while the Royals had 15 shots on the Ottawa West goal. The Ottawa West Golden Knights scored the only two goals of the second period to take a 4-1 lead going into the third period. Ottawa West scored these two second period goals thanks to a whopping 23 shots on the Richmond net in that period. In the third period, Ottawa West tallied five more goals to end up winning by a 9-3 score. Ottawa West had built up an 8-1 lead by the 12:00 minute mark of the third period which was when the Royals starting goalie Patrick Kealey was replaced by goalie Nick Bond who finished out the game, facing seven shots and giving up one more goal. Mackenzie Mercier, TJ Price and Zach Cohen scored for the Royals in this game. Assists were earned by Patrick Yates, Zach Cohen, Wyatt Parsons, Clayton Carter, Jordan Currie and Mackenzie Mercier.
The Richmond Royals will host the visiting Perth Blue Wings in a Central Canada Hockey League tier 2 game this Sunday, Dec. 11 at 1:30 p.m. at the Richmond arena in Richmond.
Kyle Gourgon scored four goals for Laurysen Kitchens in this game while Dominik Rozman chipped in with two goals. Single goals were scored by Corey Laurysen, Chris Hesse and Thomas Nesbitt. Vinny Grant picked up three assists in the game for Laurysen Kitchens while Kyle Gourgon earned two assists. Also picking up assists for Laurysen Kitchens in this game were Tyron Vine, Thomas Nesbitt, Luke Haunts, Corey Laurysen and Dominik Rozman. For Cabling Ottawa, the goal scorers in this game were Alex Robinson, Spencer Band and Jesse Gimblett. Scott Sherman and Chris King both picked up assists in the game. In the other Stittsville Town League game on Dec. 1, Molson’s skated to a 4-2 lead in the first period over the Pro2Col team. In the second period, Pro2Col rallied and the score was only 5-4 for Molson’s going into the third period. But in the third period Molson’s outscored Pro2Col four goals to two goals to end up winning the game by a 9-6 score. Chris McBurney, Robbie Clarkson and Ryan Sterling all scored two goals for Molson’s in this game. Single goals were scored by Zach Hervato, Derek Lowry and Mike Horner. Shayne Thompson picked up six assists in the game while Zach Hervato added three assists to go along with his goal. Other assists were earned by Mike Horner, Matt Mulligan, Matt Killen, Chris Monteith, Will Engler, Chris McBurney and Chris Neufeld. Zach Rodier scored two goals for Pro2Col in this game while single goals were tallied by Pat Kavanagh, Chris Fraser, Jake Oliver and Ryan Donnelly.

The 2017 Draft Budget was tabled on November 9, 2016. As part of the pre-budget consultation process, Councillors conducted information sessions from mid-September to mid-October, providing information on the municipal budget process to residents and getting views and ideas on the priorities for this draft budget. With the 2017 Draft Budget tabled, there are still opportunities for residents to offer comments and input before the final Budget goes to Council for consideration on Wednesday, December 14th. Information on the 2017 Budget is available at Ottawa.ca/budget2017 and you can submit comments via email at budget@ottawa.ca. The draft budget includes a predictable 2% increase in keeping with the previous three budgets. It takes into account recent changes in the bureaucracy at City Hall that created an annual operating savings of approximately $18M. It features more money for roads, snow maintenance and parks. It also features the introduction of a low income transit pass. In Rideau-Goulbourn, residents can expect to see a continuation of our commitment to infrastructure renewal with the resurfacing of William McEwen Drive, Shea Road and Bleeks Road. Outside of the ward, Prince of Wales Drive will also be resurfaced between Strandherd Drive and Hunt Club Road. The hard surfacing of Mackey Road will be completed this summer and pavement preservation treatment projects will take place along McCordick Road (South of Mackey Road), Third Line Road and Harnett Road. The City will also be microsurfacing Donnelly Drive between Merlyn Wilson and the City of Ottawa boundary, just west of Burritt’s Rapids. Residents on the north end of Long Island in Manotick will see the renewal of the McLean Bridge near the entrance to David Bartlett Park. When it comes to sidewalks and cycling projects, the Federal Government has providing some funding that will go toward improving cycling in the rural area in the form of paved shoulders. These projects are not yet determined. There is also federal money that will be spent on exploring opportunities to improve cycling along Bridge Street. The primary focus will be the two bridges. With bridge reconstruction still several years away, planning now will feed into that work down the road. The 2017 Budget also identifies upgrades to the Beaverwood sidewalk, between Manotick Main Street and Ann Street. This will bring the sidewalk up to current standards. There are several Parks & Recreation projects around the ward as well including two previously funded projects; the Manotick Arena expansion and the Remembrance Park in Dickinson Square. There is also design and construction on two parks in Richmond; King’s Grant Park and a new park on Nixon Farm Drive which will be named Sarah McCarthy Park. These two were also partially funded and announced in the 2016 Budget. In addition to the expansion at the Manotick Arena, there will also be lifecycle works completed at the same time in the form of roof replacement, septic system decommissioning, fire alarm system replacement and new flooring. Design work will also begin on replacing play structure equipment in Blue Rock Park in Kars and Richmond Lions Park. As mentioned earlier, more information on the budget is available at www.ottawa.ca/ budget2017. Please don’t hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. You can reach me by email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-5802491. For information on RideauGoulbourn issues, please visit RideauGoulbourn.ca.

Countdown to Grey Cup 2017
A
s celebrations go, it was a doozy. Thousands descended on the Glebe on Nov. 29 to take in the Grey Cup victory parade and rally at Lansdowne Park. Congratulations are in order for the Ottawa RedBlacks organization. The players and coaching staff pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Grey Cup history by defeating the heavily favoured Calgary Stampeders on Nov. 27. After a memorable Eastern Final in a sometimes blinding snowstorm, the upset has made 2016 a year to remember. What made the Grey Cup win all the sweeter was the teasing way the RedBlacks pulled it off. Not content with a double-digit lead, the Ottawa team allowed the Stamps to tie things up before winning in overtime. After decades of a) no team, b) a basement-dwelling team or c) a close-butno-cigar team, Ottawa football fans could be excused for thinking the 2016 RedBlacks were going to plummet into category C. Overtime was a heck of a way to end a
40-year wait for a Grey Cup, but it probably left a few hearts aflutter. No doubt hearts had fully recovered in time for last Tuesday afternoon’s parade to Lansdowne Park. It’s a good time to be an Ottawa sports fan. Next year will hopefully see an outdoor NHL game, and we’re already assured the Grey Cup game will be played at TD Place. The Senators are winning more than losing – a pleasant surprise given off-season predictions. The hockey team was also gracious enough to invite the RedBlacks players, coaches and management to greet the crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre prior to a Dec. 1 NHL game. Watching Henry Burris and Brad Sinopoli drop the ceremonial puck from the Grey Cup was a nice touch. Here’s hoping the RedBlacks have a great off-season, and continue to improve as 2017 unfolds. The countdown to the Grey Cup game at Lansdowne Park is on.
Ottawa sure loves its football
M
any commentators have made the observation that the Grey Cup was held in the wrong place. Well, it’s in the right place now. It looked like a good crowd at the game in Toronto but, according to some reports, that’s because many tickets were given away to ensure a full house. Toronto just did not seem all that interested. Partly that would be because Toronto’s team, the Argonauts, were not in the game — haven’t been a contender for some time. And partly, it was argued, it was because Toronto is so big and has so many things going on that something like the Grey Cup can get lost. You could debate that one. Toronto can get quite excited about the Blue Jays and even the Raptors,
CHARLES GORDON Funny Town when they made a big playoff run last season. Some day, Toronto will get excited about the Maple Leafs again. But it was a fact that Grey Cup fever was not around this year. Not that Torontonians were completely unaware of the game. We happened to be in the city and heard some Toronto CBC personalities discussing it on the radio. They hadn’t actually watched the game, but had learned about it on social media. Now, if you’re looking for a city that is fully appreciative of the
Grey Cup, you’ve come to the right place. Part of the fun of watching the game on TV was watching the Ottawa fans. It was also fun a couple of days later to watch them at the victory parade back home. These are people for whom the CFL is a big deal, for whom the Grey Cup is a big deal. When it comes here next year they’ll turn out, whether the RedBlacks are in the game or not. It all comes as a relief to the people who supported football in Ottawa after some very lean years, some by putting up big money, some by simply buying tickets. For a time, with the death of the Roughriders and with the failure of the Renegades, it appeared that the Ottawa that had supported Canadian pro football, the fans that packed

Lansdowne Park to cheer on Russ Jackson, Billy Cooper, Tony Gabriel and Bobby Simpson, had become obsolete — that this had become a different kind of town. Now we know different. All dressed up like lumberjacks, our fans gave Canadians a different view of Ottawa, one we knew existed but might be unfamiliar to a national audience. And when the team returned with the Cup, people turned out in the thousands to welcome them in miserable weather. We get a little tired of our reputation as stodgy public servants who won’t cross against the light at three in the morning. Or politically correct, compulsively fit folks who spend our leisure hours at Mountain Equipment Co-Op trying on fitness attire. Or politicians at the trough. Or journalists and lobbyists obsessed with politicians at the trough.

be sure. But hey, this was a logging town before it was log-rolling town and isn’t there just a bit of lumberjack in all of us, looking for an excuse to come out? Sure there is, even if we have come from some place far away. All we needed was a great football game to bring it out.

Letter: Parking 50%
Dear editor, Just wanted to point out one correction to CharlesGordon’s Dec. 1 column “Parking regulationsmake little sense”: There’s no such thing as unlimited parking in Ottawa, as I found out the hard way this summer. Where there are no signs, there is apparently a 3 hour limit between 7 am and 7 pm (Bylaw 2003-530, http://ottawa.ca/en/residents/transportation-andparking/parking/street-parking-restrictions). I’m not sure how they decide where/when to enforce it. In my case, it certainly wasn’t due to a lack of available parking places, so perhaps you just have to learn in which areas they regularly enforce it. Just thought people should know, since it is certainly not common knowledge! Lisa Chamney Ottawa, ON,

Dandelions Consignment Shop among Ottawa’s top ten
in Stittsville has been included in a list of Ottawa’s best vintage and consignment clothing stores compiled by It’s now considered among Otta- Gaby Patenaude, a food and breakfast wa’s top ten vintage and consignment blogger, who notes that vintage and consignment stores are places where clothing stores. The Dandelions Consignment Shop you can find one-of-a-kind treasures
get name brand clothing at excellent prices. Owner Sandra Edwards proudly points out that her store in Stittsville being on this list shows that it has grown up and developed into a spot where customers can shop not only for kids and teen’s clothing but also for women’s clothing. “Dandelions Consignment is the pearl just waiting to be found, right here in the heart of Stittsville,” Sandra states. Indeed, with the increased focus on women’s clothing which now occupies half of the space in the store, Dandelions Consignment will soon have a new main outdoor sign identifying the store as Dandelions Consignment rather than Dandelions Kids as it has been up to now. That’s because Sandra started the consignment store with a focus on children’s clothing but now the store offers so much more, especially in women’s clothing. Dandelions Consignment now carries clothing for youth from 12 months up as well as clothing for teens up to medium in size. The women’s John Curry/Metroland clothing in the store runs from Dandelions Consignment Shop owner Sandra Edwards stands in the store at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on extra small to 3X, providing lots Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

ment has some unique items as well, such as the “Heart of the Market” yak wool products from Nepal which involves a selection of both scarves and shawls which are light weight but warm. Ten percent of the sales of these yak wool products ends up being donated to the Canadian Red Cross Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund. Dandelions Consignment is able to keep expenses down and pass on even greater savings to customers thanks to its volunteer program. In this program, volunteers ranging in age from young people to seniors work in the store doing tasks such as tagging and hanging clothes for display. They receive $10 in credit for each hour worked which they can then use for purchases in the store. Dandelions Consignment owner Sandra Edwards says that this volunteer program provides people with a great way not only to purchase clothing from the store but also to meet and work with others, putting in a couple of hours at the store every so often. It’s a great way to socialize, Sandra points out, noting that this volunteer program has been working well at the store.

Students present assembly by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
‘Stand Up and Make A Difference.” This was the theme and focus of a recent school-wide assembly held at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville, with the message being delivered through an upbeat combination of song, video messaging, dance and drama. The assembly was presented by the school’s Student Leadership Team, 18 of whom attended the recent “Me to We” day at Cana-

The assembly included the presentation of video clips about the “Me to We” movement and its message that amazing things can happen when people work together and how people can make a difference both through local actions and global actions.

Assembly deals with bullying Continued from page 12
Student MC’s Grace Kasouf and Ashley Newman led the assembly in doing the “Me to We” dance which features four basic moves. The assembly also dealt with bullying, explaining that there are four basic types of bullying – physical, cyber, social and verbal. Brief skits outlining each type of bullying were presented by student actors.
Students at the assembly were encouraged to be “upstanders,” not “bystanders” when bullying is witnessed. This means being a person who stands up and makes a difference in such a situation rather than standing aside and doing nothing. The week of Nov. 20 to Nov. 26 was Bully Awareness and Prevention Week in schools across Ontario.

Seniors meet twice a month at SCHS by Bethany Walker Special to the News
A group of local seniors under the auspices of the Rural Ottawa South Support Services (ROSSS) has been meeting twice a month on Fridays at South Carleton High School in Richmond for the past year and a half, participating in various activities taking place in the school. Their presence has had a positive impact on SCHS students and the
SCHS community. There have been benefits both ways, with the seniors connecting with and learning from the students and with the students learning from the seniors with their more extensive experiences. Some of the highlights of these ROSSS seniors visits to South Carleton have been chili tasting with the cooking class, sitting in on a history of Richmond class and interacting with youngsters in the SCHS preschool parent class at the local fire station.
The seniors have also had occasion to look through SCHS yearbooks from past years, finding some of their photographs from the time which they spent as a student at South Carleton. There were many laughs and stories told from these earlier days when they roamed the same halls as today’s SCHS students. On Friday, Nov. 25, the ROSSS seniors joined SCHS students for a presentation by Janice Domaratzki who is an investment advisor and who explained the value of saving
bonds and investing in stocks. Students from a grade 11 business class attended the presentation as well since it dealt with information of relevance to their course. Mention needs to be made of an important member of the South Carleton community, Jody Layer. She spends many hours volunteering at the school to help make events like the recent leadership camp possible. Students and staff both appreciated her efforts and devotion and look forward to a continuing and long relationship.

‘All That Glam’ fundraiser by Michelle Nash Baker

Karen von Jagow (left) and her daughter Eva von Jagow (right), founders of the “All That Glam” fundraiser in support of breakfast programs in Nunavut, wear fascinators at the fourth annual fundraiser at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata on Saturday, Nov. 26.
The fundraiser “All That Glame” takes one person’s trash and makes it another’s treasure. The “All that Glam – Give a Jewel Feed a School” fundraiser took place at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata on Nov. 26, welcoming hundreds of jewelry lovers out on a Saturday morning to pick up their next best accessories for a steal of a price. Over the course of four years, the fundraiser, thanks to corporate matching, has raised nearly $100,000 for breakfast programs at a Nunavut school. And it’s all thanks to a motherdaughter team. It all started when then-Grade 12 student Eva Von Jagow of Stittsville was researching Nunavut for a school project when she learned just how much food costs in northern Canada.
Overwhelmed by the fact that a jar of peanut butter could cost nearly $18, and those children in the region tend to start their days off hungry or with poor nutrition, Eva turned to her mother, Karen Von Jagow and said she wanted to help. “It was wrong and I needed to do something,” Eva said. Eva and her mother came up with the idea to repurpose purses and handbags and jewelry that was just collecting dust in homes. That idea has grown into a not-forprofit organization and an event that saw long early morning line-ups at the Richcraft Recreation Complex. All the money raised goes directly to the breakfast program. “We are over the moon with the outpouring of support,” Eva said. This year the fundraiser included artwork and art pieces from the student recipients from the Nunavut school, Coral Harbor School, both on display as well as part of the silent
auction at the sale. Now 22 years old, Eva said this concern is a Canadian issue and the fact the sale brings out so many supporters is amazing – nearly 700 to 800 shoppers throughout the day. She added she hopes that this fundraiser can help raise awareness to the high costs of food. “It’s not right and it took me until I was in Grade 12 to realize it,” she said. Proud of what her daughter and the community can do to help, Karen agreed with Eva about spreading the word. “Just because it’s 2,000 miles (3,218 kilometres) away, it doesn’t mean it’s not our backyard,” Karen said. Karen said that even after the fundraiser is over their work is not done. “We pretty much start planning the next day,” Karen said. Donations are accepted throughout the year.

Ladies Chorus started back in the year 2011 Special to the News
16 Stittsville News - Thursday, December 8, 2016
R0013661694-0128
It started with a one-time performance back in 2011 and now what has become the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is recognized for performances that show creativity, diversity of musical styles and artistic excellence. Today’s West Ottawa Ladies Chorus (WOLC) originated from a group of 24 west Ottawa women with choral singing experience who were recruited by Robert Dueck of Stittsville to make a one-time guest performance at the 2011 Christmas concert of the Goulbourn Male Chorus which Robert directed at the time. Following this concert, Robert received several requests to consider directing an all-ladies chorus in addition to the Goulbourn Male Chorus which he helped found in 2010. And so, on May 12, 2012, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus gave its inaugural performance, with 12 ladies singing two selections as guests of the Goulbourn Male Chorus at its “Coast to Coast” spring concert. It was this small ensemble of 12 ladies which formed the core of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Word of mouth and media exposure helped recruit experienced choral singers for membership in this newly established West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. From the original 12 voices, the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has grown to 35 to 40 members in any given term. These auditioned members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus share a love of music and a commitment to excellence, with the majority being residents in west Ottawa communities.

Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre may be open by the spring of 2018 by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
The new 30-bed residential Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre could be built and open by the spring of 2018. This new facility will be built on a 25 acre site on Bradley Sideroad off Richardson Sideroad in West Carleton. It’s a $10.5 million project in total with the land already acquired and a provincial grant of $1.5 million already received. In addition, the rezoning of the site has been approved by the city of Ottawa and the Ontario Ministry of Health has approved the functional plan related to the facility.
It is hoped that the federal government will provide a $1.5 million grant for the project, matching the provincial grant. Construction could begin as early as this spring if this federal grant is approved soon with the facility taking one year to build. The new facility would replace an existing boys treatment centre on a farm property in Carleton Place and an existing girls treatment facility in a Royal Ottawa Hospital facility adjacent to the site of the new centre. The new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre will offer 30 beds for youth aged 13 to 21 years of age. See DAVE SMITH, page 20

Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has helped over 15,000 Around Richmond Continued from page 19
There will be 15 beds for boys and 15 beds for girls, with programming provided in two age groups: 13 to 17 year olds and also 18 to 21 year olds. The length of time for a youth to be at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is usually three months but this can be flexible with some youth needing less time and some youth requiring more time. Part of the programming involves schooling each morning including a summer school so that the schooling can take place year round. Stephanie MacGregor, executive
director of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation, speaking to members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at a recent meeting, pointed out that since 1993, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre has helped more than 15,000 youth and caregivers. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre will be marking its 25th anniversary in 2018. She said that the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre is saving lives and is giving families back their hope. She said that there will always be a need for treatment services for addictions like those
provided by the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre. Currently the Foundation is involved in a three million dollar fundraising campaign, with about one million dollars raised to date. The goal is to raise $1.5 million through major gifts and another $1.5 million through event fundraising and gifts up to $10,000 in size. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has been a long time supporter of this new Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre being planned for Bradley Sideroad north of Stittsville. The Rotary Club
of Ottawa – Stittsville pledged a $30,000 commitment to the project, to be paid over a ten year period. However, the Club was able to meet the commitment in fewer years than originally projected. The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre Foundation, of which Stephanie MacGregor is the executive director, was established in 2012 to support the fundraising needs of the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre and to help its founder Dave Smith realize his dream of a new 30-bed youth residential treatment facility in west Ottawa.

Unique shopping experience at ‘The Village Shoppe’ Special to the News
November saw the opening of The Village Shoppe, a new gift store, at 6051 Perth Street in Richmond adjacent to the Baker’s Bean coffee house. Owner/operator Susan Rabb has been envisioning opening a gift store in her home community for years and is thrilled that with her dream now coming to fruition she is able to offer a unique local shopping experience. The first few weeks have been filled with nothing but enthusiasm and positive feedback from both customers and the community at large. The motto for The Village Shoppe is “feels like home”, and when you walk in that is exactly how you feel. From the fireplace, hearth rug and Tucker the Shoppe dog’s bed, to the homey aroma of a candle burning, warm gentle lighting and friendly staff you immediately feel comfortable and at ease. A huge part of Susan’s vision is to promote primarily Canadian-made, hand-made, upcycled, fair trade and other high quality items. She is also looking forward to the possibility of car-
rying merchandise from local artisans. Current inventory includes things such as Canadian-made 100% Scottish wool plaid tartan throws and matching pillows. A big seller to date has been Cottage Life brand soy candles with perfect names and scents that remind you of the Canadian outdoors, cottaging and homemade breakfasts. Just close your eyes and imagine smelling “Lemonade on the dock”, “Rum Buttered Pancakes” or “Evergreen Trail”, to name but a few. Nature inspired pottery from a Saskatoon potter, hand-made jewelry from a Montreal artisan and beautiful hand blown glass friendship balls, tear drops and starfish that hang in your window and catch the sunlight all add to the mix. Want to feel cozy? Then you might be interested in alpaca wool scarves available in both infinity and traditional styles, or fringed mohair throws to wrap up in during the long winter evenings. Ever heard of “Bumwarmers”? They are a very unique upcycled product and have started flying off the shelves. They are very popular

with girls and women who wear leggings. Come on in and see what they are all about. Susan hasn’t forgotten the small fry either. Picture the little one you love in an adorable Fair Trade hand knit 100% wool hooded sweater and/or an animal themed fleece lined wool hat with matching mittens. There are also theme printed pillowcases with artist quality paint for kids to paint and make their own. These are great idea for birthday parties and are also therapeutic for kids with night time or separation worries. There is much more to see including wallets, purses, themed magnet sets that are great stocking stuffers and of course, Christmas ornaments.
The Village Shoppe is now carrying locally sourced alpaca wool blended with merino wool and polyester. It is available in balls, skeins and cones, in 2 ply and 3 ply. Locally made cutting and charcuterie boards hand crafted from maple, cherry and mahogany are now in stock as well; and another new item is Airome diffusers with essential oils. Look for gift cards and a gift registry that are coming soon. The Village Shoppe is currently open 9:30 a.m. till 6 p.m. Tuesday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the store at 613-444-0218 or visit the website at www.villageshoppe.ca.

which has its origins in a hymn written by St. Thomas Aquinas for the Feast of Corpus Christi. “Dutch Treat” is an all-male choir whose members are all originally from the Netherlands. They wore traditional Dutch garb including white shirts, red scarves around the neck, Dutch black navy hat caps

Christmas was in the air at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Saturday, Dec. 3. It was all thanks to city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who hosted his annual Christmas Cookie Decorating and Santa Photo event in the foyer area of the GRC in the morning. This meant there was Christmas music, adding an additional seasonal touch to the
surroundings which included inflatable seasonal figures like a giant snowman and two penguins. Youngsters had the opportunity decorate cookies. But the biggest attraction was the appearance of Santa Claus himself who arrived with an elf assistant to hear the Christmas wishes of youngsters and have his photo taken with the youngsters. Santa sat in a big white armchair, allowing youngsters to sit on his knee as they told him their Christmas wishes and dreams. And this was all
captured in photography by Shad’s staff, with the photo to be emailed to the parents. It was about 10 a.m. when Santa’s first “Ho, Ho, Ho’s� were heard in the foyer area at the GRC as the jolly red-suited gentleman arrived in the midst of those at the event. After participating in a brief ceremony honouring the youth artist winners in councillor Qadri’s online Christmas card contest, Santa moved to his giant chair to meet the growing line up of youngsters who wanted to meet and chat with him.

Giant decorated Christmas tree on stage for concert BY JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
You couldn’t help but be in the Christmas spirit after attending the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus’ “A Christmas Kaleidoscope” concert at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Sideroad on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 4. If the music did not grab you and send you into Christmas mode, then a giant Christmas tree with its decorations and lights which stretched up to the church’s vaulted ceiling surely provided the spark to take you to the land of Christmas spirit. Among the holiday songs presented at the
concert were “Silver Bells” which is one of the most loved Christmas songs of all time, the everpopular “Jingle Bells,” “Christmas Tree Angel” which was a 1950’s hit for the Andrews Sisters, “Christmas Shopping Blues” which is a jazzy novelty song which deals with Christmas shopping and the craziness of the gift-giving season, and “Jesus, What A Wonderful Child”, a gospel favourite which celebrates the birth of Jesus. There were a number of singalong opportunities in the concert including audience participation in “White Christmas,” “O Christmas Tree” and “Jesus Our Brother” which is a six-verse Christmas hymn for both children and adults alike.
Music guests at this concert, which was also presented on Saturday evening, Dec. 3 at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata, was the Kanata-based gospel singing group “Gracenote” which includes Diane Coulterman, Allison Fagan and Lynn Lane with Andy Duffy on the keyboard. “Gracenote” presented a 20 minute set at the beginning of the second half of the concert, delivering a number of songs which resulted in a standing ovation from the capacity crowd when the performance ended. Among the songs which Gracenote sung included “Mary, Did You Know,” “The Night That Christ Was Born,” “Some Children See Him” which is a song written back in 1951 which is on James Taylor’s latest Christmas album release and “I Cannot Be Silent,” a song echoing Mary’s exuberance at being chosen to be the Mother of God. For this concert, Helen Mogford was the guest musician, playing both the flute and also the viola da gamba which is a bowed string instrument with a subdued mellow tone. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is the music director of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus while Pe-

Members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus include as follows: 1st Soprano singers – Barb Sommerville, Beth Ronaghan, Debbie Kaye, Una Ferguson, Debbie Trouten, Ingrid Gemmell, Denise Benner, Sharon Holzcherrer, Liz Mevel, Nancy Hayley, Molly O’Connor and Sharleen McCorrister; 2nd Soprano singers – Barbara Bottriell, Carolyn Beeton, Linda Noble, Irene Moore, Joanne Jackson, Glenda Murray, Micheline Bouchard, Vivian Latulippe, Jane Yu, Nancy MacDonald, Taisia Smellie, Katie Trouten and Shelly McLeod; 1st Alto singers – Janet Buske-Wischer, Kathryn Adeney, Vivian McLean, Maxine Mercer, Ruth Chmara, Kelly Lawson, Ingrid Shantz, Bev Armbruster and Sheri Williams; and 2nd Alto singers – Dianne Lydall, Sharon Neill, Monique Tougas, Joan Ford, Gwen Cairns and Wendy Sauve.

‘Free speech doesn’t trump somebody’s safety’: race relations officer BY ERIN MCCRACKEN
erin.mccracken@metroland.com
Two-thirds of all hate crimes committed in Canada go unreported. “That’s a problem for police because we don’t know the full landscape,” said Staff Sgt. Dave Zackrias, head of the Ottawa police diversity and race relations unit. “We need to know this. If we don’t know, we can’t respond effectively.” His comments came during a Crime Prevention Ottawasponsored hate crimes panel discussion at city hall on Nov. 25, prompted by a recent spate of graffiti hate crimes targeted at a number of religious institutions across the city. º“Unchecked, crimes can result in an escalation of social tension between different groups
and can destroy communities, thereby furthering the aims and objectives of those in our society who promote hatred,” Zackrias told the crowd that gathered in city council chambers. Given their impact, hate crimes must be taken seriously. “I can tell you the spike that happened in 2015 was a direct result of the federal election,” said Zackrias. “And once the elections were done, we saw a sort of decline.” Look to the United States, he said, where protests and unrest have been prompted by hate-related incidents. “What happens there, impacts here, so we need to be aware of that,” Zackrias said. “We can’t ignore the obvious. We need to be prepared to address those issues that are hap-
pening globally.” He said he has heard some argue that individuals have a right to free speech. “We must send a strong message to the community that, ‘Yes, we do have free speech, however, people also have the freedom to live safely and freely, and free speech doesn’t trump somebody’s safety,” Zackrias said.Bernie Farber, a native of Ottawa who currently serves as the Toronto-based executive director of the Mosaic Institute, said the recent graffiti hate crimes in Alta Vista, the west end and the Glebe brought back memories from Erin McCracken/Metroland 23 years ago when the World Church of the Creator and the Rev. Anthony Bailey, spiritual leader of Parkdale United Church, (centre) and Bernie FarHeritage Front led a swastika- ber, executive director of the Mosaic Institute, look on as Joanne Law speaks on the need filled march to Parliament Hill. for support and acceptance of the transgender community during a hate-crime panel See HATEFUL page 29

Donations of warm clothing wanted ‘Christmas in the Stable’ Here and Special to the News
With the advent of winter, warm clothing becomes essential, particularly for those who are less fortunate and thus more vulnerable to winter weather. Among those who need help in terms of warm clothing for the winter are residents at the Hope Living Residence, a supporting living residence operated by the Shepherds of Good Hope at 145 Castlefrank Road in Kanata. This 99-bed residence provides a home for both men and women. A group of volunteers led by Ruth Cameron of Richmond operates a clothing boutique at the Hope Living Residence which provides clothing for the residents. Right now there is a great demand from residents for warm jackets, warm boots, scarves and gloves or mitts. But the boutique right now cannot meet the demand, meaning that some of the residents are without warm winter clothing. This is where people can help. If you have any winter clothing that is not being used, the clothing boutique at the Hope Living Resi-
dence could sure use it to provide to the residents there. Warm clothing of all types and sizes is needed. This includes all sizes but there is a special need for larger clothing for both men and women. Warm boots for men and women are also needed. And it’s easy to donate. Ruth Cameron has once again placed a box on the front porch of her home at 118 Royal York Street in Richmond where donations of clothing to help out the residents of the Hope Living Residence can be dropped off at any time. Any and all donations of warm winter clothing would be much appreciated and will be provided to the Hope Living Residence residents through the clothing boutique there that is run by volunteers. 118 Royal York Street can be easily reached by taking Fowler Street (the traffic signals near the Richmond Plaza) south from Perth Street. You have to turn right onto Royal York Street at St. John’s Anglican Church and 118 Royal York Street will be on the left, just a little ways after the turn.
Special to the News
Last December Trinity Presbyterian Church held a “Christmas in the Stable” presentation at Sunset Farms on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, hosted by Grits McMullen. For this evening event, a portion of the barn was set up as a stable for the telling of the Christmas story. Those attending sang familiar Christmas carols, heard singers tell the story in song and listened to the stories of the innkeeper, the wide man and a shepherd boy, each telling the story of that first Christmas from their own unique perspective. It turned out to be a night to remember and it’s going to happen again this Sunday, Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. Only this year, this “Christmas in the Stable” event is being held not at Sunset Farms in Stittsville but rather at Wesley Clover Parks on Corkstown Road in Nepean. Food and cash donations will be collected at the event to go to local food banks to help those who are in need at Christmas time. Everyone is welcome to attend this “Christmas in the Stable” event this year and join in the singing of carols and the hearing of the Christmas story in a stable setting, adding a new dimension to this timeless story. For more information, please contact Trinity Presbyterian Church at 613-836-1429.

It was “surround sound” at its best! For this concert, the ladies of the Goulbourn The GJS Teens and Junior Jubilees wore The opening song in the “Christmas Jubilee” concert of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, GJS Teens and Junior Jubilees saw the GJS Teens and Junior Jubilees choirs singing at the front of the Glen Cairn United Church which was the site again this year of this annual concert. But at the same time, members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers choir itself ringed the exterior of the performance space at the church, in effect surrounding the audience. Hence, “surround sound” as it were! And this opening song by this massed choir was none other than “Torches,” a song which was the first song sung at the first Christmas concert held by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers 40 years ago. Indeed, it was one of a number of songs from the first Christmas concert of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers which were included in the program for this 2016 concert which was held both last Saturday evening, Dec. 3 and also last Sunday afternoon, Dec. 4 at the Glen Cairn United Church.

white shirts or blouses with festive ties. The traditional Puerto Rican song “A La Media Noche” was robustly sung in Spanish by the Junior Jubilees who ended the song with a arm waving “Ole.” A rendition of “Ave Maria” by the Jubilee Singers featured solos by Bryn Burnell and Jim Houghton. Other songs in the program included “Away in a Manger,” “Deck the Hall,” “Go, Tell It on the Mountain,” “Jingle Bells,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Silent Night” and “The Twelve Days of GMS Christmas.” For this concert, the church featured a decorated Christmas tree at the front of the church, along with several poinsettias and some garland. The Jubilee Singers led off the second half of the program with “The King Shall Rejoice,” one of the four Coronation anthems created by composer George Frideric Handel (Died 1759). Karen Martin was the executive producer of this “Christmas Jubilee” concert while Kelly Terkuc served as stage manager. Rene Douville looked after the program while Kate Moore handled publicity and ticket sales. The Embers provided the refreshments at intermission. This is a group of ladies who have done this for a number of years. All are former Girl Guide leaders who chose the name “Embers” for the group because an ember is the opposite of a spark. Sparks are the youngest section in Guiding so Embers is an appropriate name for those at the other end of the Guilding spectrum. Looking after the “front of house” for this concert were Brian Wattie, Dwight Martineau and Elizabeth Douville. Coordinators for the Junior Jubilees were Kelly Terkuc, Erika Vogan and Beate Heusel. Graydon Campbell looked after the sound and projection. See GOULBOURN JUBILEE SINGERS, page 41

One of the three festive Christmas trees at Ale Bringing in the Holidays with Ale A few weeks ago, not too many people had heard of ALE – Amberwood Lounge & Eatery. Fast forward and it’s easy to see that news is travelling quickly. With the holiday party season in full effect, along with several advertising initiatives, ALE is definitely on the radar for residents of Stittsville and beyond. Sarah St. Michael, ALE’s General Manager, says “we’ve met so many new guests in the last few weeks. This means a lot of new people have been able to experience what we offer our customers. There are a lot of great promotions at ALE right now, and having people come in and talk about these things has been fantastic”. For starters, ALE is giving a certificate for a free appetizer when a gift card valued at $50 or more is purchased between now and Christmas Eve. Speaking of Christmas Eve, ALE is offering take home meals for the first time on this busy day. “Our take home meals for Christmas Eve are affordable and not too fussy – all of the basic comfort classics at a fair price. We’re selling the meals as portions for two people. Customers can choose between Roasted Chicken or Boneless Short Rib. Each option comes with Carrots & Turnip, Green Beans, Mashed Potatoes and Demi Glaze Gravy. Pomegranate-Cranberry Sauce, Stuffing Croquettes and House-Made Brownies are also available. Meals for Christmas Eve are $30 for each two person portion and need to be pre-ordered by Tuesday, December 20th”. If people are interested in dining in with no dishes to worry about on Christmas Eve, ALE will be open at 9 AM. Miss St. Michael explains that ALE will welcome guests for dinner and seat customers until 6:30 PM. New Year’s festivities will be another exciting time for ALE. Partnering with the local Yakstrong initiative, in support of the Yakabuski family, ALE will be the
host venue for their New Year’s Eve event. Guests not attending this event can still come for dinner at ALE between 4 and 6 PM. The party won’t stop that night; ALE’s hosting a New York City style brunch on New Year’s Day between 10 AM and 4 PM. Complete with cool tunes and a variety of mimosas, it looks like this brunch is going to be the AFTER, after party. Even though December is keeping the ALE staff very busy, they’re looking forward to other events in the New Year. Their winter escape themed wine tasting event, “California Dreaming” is happening on Saturday, January 14th. Tickets for this “fun in the sun” inspired event are $100 (all-inclusive price) and include a welcome wine cocktail, a wine paired three-course meal and dessert wine with a selection of fine cheeses during the after dinner social. Live music will also be back at ALE on January 27th with Dueling Pianos. Dinner reservations are taken as early as 7 PM and the entertainment begins at 8 PM. ALE offered live music back in the summer and their team is excited to start these nights back up again. Live music evenings are typically held at ALE on the last Friday of every month. ALE’s Event Coordinator, Nicolle Carson, adds “we’ve been fortunate to be the host venue for a variety of holiday events throughout November and December. We’re really excited to plan some inhouse events throughout the late winter and early spring. We will be releasing event information as it is finalized”. For more information on any of ALE’s events and operations, customers can call 613.831.2442 or visit ALE’s website www.aleottawa.ca. ALE can be followed on Facebook at ALE – Amberwood Lounge & Eatery. Their Instagram/Twitter handle is _aleottawa. ALE is located at 54 Springbrook Drive at the Amberwood Golf Course.

Memories Every cent I owned was laid out on my bed. I had untied it from the corner of my hankie, and no matter how often I counted it, I still had only 31 cents. I knew I was getting 25 cents from Mother as were my three brothers and sister, all because of the success of Turkey Fair day held in Renfrew. That money, with whatever else we were able to squirrel away, was to be used to buy our Christmas presents for everyone in the family. And that quarter just wasn’t handed to us willy-nilly...no siree, we had to earn it! To get ready for Turkey Fair Day, we kids had to wash eggs, pluck and clean chickens and turkeys, and help Mother make dozens of sticky buns, all of which would be sold from our flat-bottomed sleigh on the main street in Renfrew. And if sales were brisk, and only if sales were brisk, were we each given a whole quarter. So with the quarter and my 31 cents, I was still short 44 cents. I had been casing the Five and Dime Store in Renfrew for weeks and knew exactly what I was going to buy. My entire wad would be for Father’s Christmas present. I would have to use my imagination to come up with presents for the rest of the family, but Father, I knew would be thrilled with what I desperately wanted to give him. The only problem
A penny saved was a penny well earned
was finding another 44 cents. For the longest time, we could see Father squinting more and more when he was reading the Ottawa Farm Journal. Mother said it was time to get into Renfrew to have his eyes tested and to get a pair of proper reading glasses. Well, as soon as Father heard it would cost $2 for the test alone and that didn’t even include the glasses, he said there was no way in hell he was going to waste that kind of money, and he could see just fine, as we saw the paper getting closer and closer to his eyes. Well, I had seen a whole rack of glasses at the Five and Dime and they were only $1 a pair and right then and there, I decided Father would have his glasses! I would give them to him for Christmas! I didn’t want to give away my secret, but I knew I had to bring Mother into my confidence to see if she had any ideas on how I could come up with another 44 cents. She said it wouldn’t be fair to my brothers and sister if she just handed over another 44 cents to me. She mulled it over for a while and then came up with what I thought was just about the smartest idea I had ever heard of. She said I could gather eggs, about two dozen she figured, and I could sell them myself in Renfrew and raise the extra money. See MARY COOK, page 43
Mary Cook: Glasses Italian ricotta cake Continued from page 42
And so, on a cold and wintery Saturday, I took the two dozen eggs and went into Renfrew with Mother, who had her own peddling to do, and I headed right for the Five and Dime Store, and the counter with all the glasses laid out in neat rows. I put the little pail of eggs on the counter and started to try on the glasses. With the first pair, I thought I was going blind! I had no better luck with any of the others. A kindly woman told me I was too young for them. I told her my story, how Father couldn’t hardly read anymore, all I had was 56 cents, but I had two dozen eggs, and was there anyone in the store who might be interested in a good deal on eggs that had been taken right out of the hen house that very morning? I thought I saw her wipe the corner of her eyes with her sleeve and said as a matter of fact, she herself was just about to get eggs that very day and she would be delighted to take them off my hands. She paid 50 cents for the eggs and I had six cents leftover, and I grabbed a pair of the glasses, which came with a case and
was sure I was going to burst with excitement. The woman even wrapped them in white tissue paper and said Father was to come in himself after Christmas and change them for any pair that suited better. I couldn’t fathom such kindness! Coming up with presents for everyone else, when I only had six cents to my name, took every bit of imagination I could muster. I knit a dish cloth for Mother, I gave Audrey one of the hankies I was given at last year’s Christmas concert and every time I went into Briscoe’s General Store and Mr. Briscoe handed me a humbug, (which I hated anyway) I asked if he minded if I changed it for a licorice pipe and that was what my three brothers were getting from me for Christmas. I just knew in my heart, it was going to be the best Christmas ever! Interested in an electronic version of Mary’s books?

Gingerbread Family Christmas Party by John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s gingerbread house time! St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond is hosting its annual Gingerbread Family Christmas Party on Sunday, Dec. 18 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the church hall at 67 Fowler Street in Richmond. For $20, a family will receive one preassembled gingerbread house ready for decorating along with refreshments and crafts. But there’s more! Santa will also be there and you can visit with him just one week before Christmas Day. For tickets to this Gingerbread Family Christmas Party, please call 613-838-6019 or email ormsbychristine@gmail.com . Tickets should be pre-ordered by Sunday, Dec. 11. There may be limited tickets available at the door on Dec. 18 but it is better to pre-order them and be sure. A gingerbread house is a scale model house made of gingerbread and then covered with candies and icing. It is a very popular Christmas decoration. The tradition of making decorated gingerbread houses started in Germany in the early 1800’s, perhaps inspired by Grimm’s 1812 fairy tale “Hansel and Gretel” and the edible house with sugar decorations which they found in the forest. German immigrants to Pennsylvania brought the tradition of the gingerbread house to America.

Tino Bevacqua (right) increases the money meter representing the fundraising for the Richmond 200th anniversary celebrations in 2018 to $27,000 to reflect the current fundraising total from sponsorships, banners, memorabilia sales, donations and in-kind services at the 200th anniversary celebration platform on Perth Street in Richmond as Richmond 200th anniversary organizing committee chair Cydney Green (left) looks on. The fundraising goal remains at over $100,000.
The thermometer is rising but the final goal is still up there! This is all about the fundraising that is going on to support the 200th anniversary celebrations that are to be held in the village of Richmond in 2018. There is a fundraising thermometer showing the current level of fundraising at the Richmond 200th anniversary platform on Perth Street near Huntley Road. The money meter was recently upped to $27,000 to reflect recent donations, sponsorships and fundraising efforts. This $27,000 total at present includes sponsorships, banners, memorabilia, sales, donations and in-kind services, all thanks to the generosity of contributors to date. But the overall total fundraising goal for the 200th anniversary celebrations remains at over $100,000 and so there is still lots more funding needed to reach this goal. The Richmond 200th anniversary committee will soon be announcing additional levels for corporate support as it hopes to reach its fundraising goal. The sale of 200th anniversary memorabilia continues. This memorabilia makes great stocking stuffers and gifts for Christmas. The memorabilia can be purchased at the 200th anniversary committee’s outlet store at the Cydney Green’s Royal Lepage Real Estate office at 3441 McBean Street which is right adjacent to Memorial Park in Richmond. Cydney Green is the chair of the 200th anniversary organizing committee. For more information about Richmond’s 200th anniversary celebrations, please visit https://www.facebook. com/Richmond200 or http://richmond200.ca/ . There are celebration events being planned throughout 2018 with a major gala weekend of celebrations being planned for a weekend in June 2018.

Composer sings his carol with fellow Carollers by John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Often a song’s composer is a name from the past, printed on a concert program. But this was not the case at the “Adeste fideles” Christmas concert presented by the Stairwell Carollers at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Saturday evening, Dec. 3.where 13 of the 28 songs on the program were either composed or arranged by the group’s founder and director Pierre Massie. But there was also one song, a new Christmas carol about the sights and sounds of Ottawa in the Christmas season named “The Rideau Carol” which was composed by David Rain, a tenor with the group for the last 24 years. And there he was, back row at the far left, singing his own composition with his fellow 30 voices of the Stairwell Carollers in this concert in Stittsville. He wasn’t just a name on the program; he wasn’t just a face in the crowd; he was a voice in the a cappella choir, singing his song that was inspired by the Rideau Falls and which is being sung for the first time at this year’s Christmas concert series of the Stairwell Carollers. David Rain worked with the choir’s director Pierre Massie for over a year in refining the song to make it the best that it could be. And those at
the Dec. 3 concert heard the result, giving the song a rousing round of applause at its conclusion. Indeed, after the song was sung, director Massie called composer Rain down from his back row position in the choir to join him at the front of the choir and together they took a joint bow to acknowledge the audience’s reception of this newly created Christmas carol. It was a song composer being acknowledged in real time, not as a name from the past printed on a concert program! Wow! See STAIRWELL CAROLLERS, page 48

Stairwell Carollers concert at St. Thomas Anglican Church is musically thrilling Continued from page 46
And the rest of the concert was equally musically thrilling, with this provincially-acclaimed a cappella choir delivering a variety of sacred and traditional carols, many given a fresh new sound thanks to new arrangements by director Massie. And whether a traditional carol like “Away in a Manager,” “Good King Wencesles,” “Silent Night” or “The First Nowell” or carols like the 1740’s “Adeste fideles,” “The Shepherd’s Carol” which was first published in 1885, the 16th century piece “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen,” the quiet “Ubi caritas” based on an ancient Gregorian antiphon, the New France carol “Dans le silence de la nuit” which may have begun its life as a drinking song or “The Truth From Above,” a traditional English carol which featured the voice of bass soloist Alisdair Campbell, every song highlighted the melodious harmonized voices of the group. These voices filled the air at St. Thomas Anglican Church, proving once again that it is the human voice that is the greatest of musical instruments. And there were some interesting and even
humourous moments during the concert. Who knew that the song “Do You Hear What I Hear” which has become a Christmas standard was written as a plea for peace during the Cuban missile crisis, an interesting tidbit in these days that has just seen the death of Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro. And you had to love director Massie when he was preparing the choir for the traditional Finnish song “Tuikkikaa, oi joulun tahtoset” when he turned to the audience, asking how many were of Finnish heritage. When no one in the near capacity audience indicated a Finnish connection, the director said “Oh, good,” drawing laugher from the audience and knowing that the choir’s version would go unchallenged. The choir’s lively interpretation of “I Saw Three Ships” and its rousing rendition of the traditional Puerto Rican tune “En El Portal de Belen” were both highlights in the program. And while “The First Nowell” was the last song listed on the official program, the Stairwell Carollers did finish up with “Deck the Halls” followed by “We Wish You A Merry
Christmas.” This followed a prolonged standing ovation from the audience and an explanation by director and founder Pierre Massie of how the choir came to get its name. He explained that the group started in 1977, quite literally singing Christmas carols in the stairwells of residences at the University of Ottawa during exam time, attracting the attention of students who would emerge from studying in their rooms to listen to the carols. Director Massie recounted one memorable incident where a big football player student approached the group. Was he going to be confrontational? Instead, he asked if the group knew “Little Drummer Boy.” The group would go to various locations to perform their impromptu singing. It was at the Bayshore Shopping Centre where they got a big break and, indeed, where they got their name. While they were singing there, radio station CFRA was holding its Christmas Cheer broadcast. CFRA radio personality Gord Atkinson was alerted to the choir’s music by his wife Elaine and the group was subsequently asked to perform on the radio. Just before
they were to go on air, Gord asked what the group’s name was. Well, at that time, they had no name but the name “Stairwell Carollers” was blurted out and it has been the group’s name ever since. The Stairwell Carollers are now in the group’s 39th year of presenting Christmas concerts. Gord and Elaine Atkinson now live in Stittsville and for the past couple of years have attended this Stairwell Carollers Christmas concert performance at St. Thomas Anglican Church. However, they were not there this year. Each year the Stairwell Carollers donates the proceeds from the group’s Christmas concerts to a charity. Since 1987, these donations have totalled $131,319. This year the group will be donating $2,000 to the Alzheimer’s Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. Also, since 1997, the Stairwell Carollers have provided a total of $16,000 in scholarships for students. The Stairwell Carollers placed first in provincial choral competitions in both 2010 and 2013, reflective of the group’s superlative a cappella singing.

Lights, music in Santa Claus Parade by John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
A convoy of Christmas lights and music made its way along McBean Street and part of Perth Street in Richmond on Saturday evening, Dec. 3. It was the occasion of the annual Santa Claus Parade but it was a parade with a difference this year – it was held after dark with
a 5:30 p.m. start from South Carleton High School, a change from previous years when the parade was held in the daytime, with an 11 a.m. start. Conditions were well suited for parade watching this year, with the temperature at one degree Celsius, although there was a little biting breeze in the air. There was no precipitation.

Spectators lined the parade route of McBean Street and Perth Street from McBean Street to Huntley Road, with the parade taking almost 15 minutes to pass any spot on the parade route. The darkness prevailing for this year’s parade helped accentuate the Christmas lights which decorated virtually all of the 15 or so floats in the parade. Politicians were well represented in the parade, with Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre having an entry in the parade, with a pick up truck carrying a small lighted Christmas tree as well as a crèche scene; Carleton PC nominee Goldie Ghamari’s float featured a sled in which Goldie herself, holding a dog, rode; and city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councilor Scott Moffatt, riding on the blue and green lit city of Ottawa float which featured a giant city of Ottawa logo.
The flatbed float of the new The Village Shoppe in Stittsville turned some heads as it made its way along the parade route. Among the other floats/entries in the parade were those featuring minor hockey players and featuring dancers holding lighted lollipops; the Southpaw Property Maintenance float with its inflatable Santa; the 101.1 country music radio station with large wrapped up Christmas presents on display; the St. Philip Church’s Knights of Columbus with its crèche scene and music; and more including parade representation by the Richmond District Lions Club, the Ottawa Fire Service with Santa Claus riding in a truck’s bucket as it moved along the parade route; Kerr Karpentry; the Rural Ottawa South Support Services van; the Richmond Agricultural Society; and more.

Remember to support your friends when they need you. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Clear out your schedule, Leo, because it could be a wild ride for the next few days. You probably will not have much time to yourself. When you get Here’s How It Works: a break, make the most of it. Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box.

It can be a little scary to do so, but with the support of a few close friends, you can benefit from change.

This may be just the catalyst needed to spark new conversations and actions. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 Your job may take up a considerable amount of your time for the immediate future, Aquarius.
