Grinch in show

Continued from page 1

This realization caused his heart to grow and he embranced the Christmas spirit, returning the presents that he had taken. He was asked to join in with Whoville for Christmas dinner and they all ended up singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas.” This ended the 20 minute puppet show. For Lori Fielding, this year’s two performances of this puppet show were her final ones as she is ending her 12 year involvement with this Christmas tradition at the library. Sue McDonald, a staff member at the Munster library branch, who has served as one of the puppeteers for the past three years, is also stepping down from the puppet show. Valerie Jorgensen, a staff member at the Carp branch of the Ottawa Public Library, is the second puppeteer involved with the show. The puppet show will be continuing in coming years. In fact, the puppet show should be travelling to other library branches next year. This has been done in past years but this year the shows were limited to the two at the Stittsville branch last Saturday. The show is presented using an extensive backdrop and performance area for the puppets. It requires considerable effort to set it up because of its intricate framework.

‘Paint It Black’ at owaa gallery John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News – It’s called “Paint It Black” but despite this title, the current art exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville features a variety of colours, not just back. Vera Van Baaren’s collage-style work “A Long Road Ahead” is a colourful piece highlighting orange and yellow, among other colours. Trudy Daley’s acrylic “Harvest Moon” showing a full moon in the sky over an evergreen forest is anything but black – yellow, red and orange are strong colours in this work. Tammy MacAllister’s oil on canvas “Cove” is a large piece with abstract overtones, not only with its blue water but with gr3eens and yellow in the mix as well. Inge Whelan’s acrylic “Churches of Mahone Bay” showing three churches near the waterfront not only has the two white churches and

a yellow church but also features the background forest and a blue sky. “Au rang St-Antoine,” an oil by Alain Bernard, is a French Canadian scene with a traditional French Canadian house and adjacent barns on a country road, illuminated by a setting sun. Charles Rogers’ oil painting “Artist Point” is another work of many colours, such as yellow, red and brown, all helping to depict this shoreline scene. Charles Rogers shows his versatility in this exhibition as his photo “Mahone Bay” features a sailboat, blue sky and water in a placid scene with a giant pine tree in the foreground. Idyllic! Sonia Tavares fits right in with the exhibition’s “Paint It Black” title with her acrylic work “Black is Beautiful.” It features 23 black figures wearing white. As you can see, this is a diverse John Curry/Metroland exhibition. John Edkins, right, on the ladder, and Vera Van Baaren, left, adjust a picture as they recently help hang See ART EXHIBITION, page 7

Nowhere to go but up for Sens

T

he news that the Ottawa Senators are considering moving the team’s arena to LeBreton Flats came as a surprise for residents, both pleasant and gloomy, depending on where they live. Many fans, especially those who live in eastern and southern Ottawa, would welcome the chance to take in a Sens game without facing a long and timeconsuming commute to – as Ottawa-West Nepean MP and Canada’s Foreign Minister John Baird puts it – “the middle of nowhere.� About 101,000 people, roughly one in 10 Ottawa residents live in “the middle of nowhere� according to the latest figures available from the 2011 Statistics Canada census. Using our handy map of the city, we discovered the other residents of nowhere land include West Carleton (21,500) and Barrhaven and Nepean (156,000) – which strangely enough includes many of Baird’s constituents. People who live in the Ottawa Valley, including Arnprior, Renfrew and Carleton Place, probably

aren’t even on Minister Baird’s radar, but for the sake of argument we’ll include them within the boundaries of “nowhere.� We shudder to consider Minister Baird’s future ability to argue for any significant investment in the west end of Ottawa – who wants to invest in a place going “nowhere.� The Ottawa Senators already draw a pretty good crowd to the middle of nowhere’s arena – 18,399 fans on average per game – but maybe the team can increase attendance at LeBreton Flats. The move would hit the pocketbooks of a host of west-end businesses, such as restaurants and hotels that depend on the crowds generated by the Senators, not to mention the concerts and other events hosted throughout the year at the arena. But bottom line, Eugene Melnyk owns the team. If he’s willing to spend a half-a-billion dollars to build a new arena, that’s his right – just so long as he doesn’t expect to draw on taxpayers’ money. And without the public purse, moving the team is an argument that goes nowhere.

Pondering a dream for LeBreton, again

I

t might be more wishful thinking than anything, but reports that the Ottawa Senators were considering moving to LeBreton Flats have stirred considerable interest, as well as stimulated a healthy debate over what could and should be done with that space. There is a distinct possibility that this is all a pipe dream: the Senators have a perfectly good building out in Kanata; second, the National Capital Commission, which has been guarding LeBreton from development for more than half a century, might not look kindly on the idea. You might remember that there was brief discussion about locating a baseball stadium in the Flats when talks about Triple-A baseball began in the early 1990s. The NCC sniffily

All and sundry have been invited to submit proposals, commercial or not, for development of the Flats. So the idea might have a bit more traction than it had 20 years ago. The advantages of an arena at LeBreton are as obvious as the disadvantages of the current location, where traffic on game nights

is a problem and there is nothing to do after the game but get in the car and contribute to the traffic. The LeBreton location is central, walking distance from Parliament Hill, more or less, and will be extremely well served by public transit. More important, if LeBreton is developed intelligently – a big if – an arena there might be surrounded by restaurants, bars and cafes that would provide something to do before and after the game. The importance of that can’t be overstated. You could argue that one of the causes of the demise of the Montreal Expos was the fact that their stadium was located in a commercial dead zone. Yes, it was on the Metro line, which was good. But after the game there was nothing to do but get back on the Metro.

Many professional sports teams in the ’70s and ’80s built their arenas and stadiums in the suburbs where land was cheap and parking was ample. For a lot of them, the experiment didn’t work and they moved back downtown. Some teams, such as the Toronto Blue Jays, wisely resisted the urge to move to the suburbs. Now, the Rogers Centre, formerly SkyDome, has helped bring vitality to a downtown neighbourhood. Imagine Toronto getting something right. Is it a dream to ponder such an outcome for Ottawa? Perhaps not. But even if downtown hockey does not materialize, the principle of having major attractions surrounded by bars, restaurants and stores is still worth pursuing. Another museum would help, as was argued here recently. A professional sports facility would help even more, but with some provisos.

It would have to be capable of other uses, for one thing. And then there is the age-old question of who would pay for it. The idea of taxpayers funding new sports facilities has gone out of style, and rightly so. So, now what?

Hornets are tournament champs Special to the News Sports - Two victories against traditional rivals

Nepean Blue Devils earned the Goulbourn Hornets Major Midget girls basketball team the Major

SUBMITTED

Members of the Goulbourn Hornets Major Midget girls basketball team, Major Midget AAA gold medal champions in the recent 21st annual Chris Paulin Tournament in Kanata hosted by Ottawa Next Level, are, front row, kneeling, from left, Brennah Agnew, Talia Kotuba, Grace Byron, Megan Chase and Sasha Thomson; and, back row, standing, from left, coach Dawn Murphy, Michaela Tourigny, Morganna Hinds, Tiegan Hinds, Nicole Murphy, Sydney Whitmore, Kennedy Thompson, Rielly Thompson and coach Mike Tourigny. Missing from the picture is coach Dan Byron.

Midget AAA gold medals in the recent 21st annual Chris Paulin Tournament in Kanata, hosted by Ottawa Next Level. And these two victories came right at the start of the tournament and then right at the end, in the championship final game. This was the first tournament of the year for the Goulbourn Hornets Major Midget girls team, with the opening game in round robin play being against the tough Nepean Blue Devils squad Indeed, this turned out to be the closest game of the tournament for the Hornets by far. Nepean used a tight zone defense and good shooting to open up a first half lead. But the Hornets adjusted and scored some tough baskets in the paint to eventually emerge with a oh-so-close 45-41 victory. But a win is a win and it was on to the next round robin game for the Goulbourn Hornets, this time against the Ottawa South Bedrock. The Hornets came out buzzing in this game and aggressive defense created turnovers that led to easy baskets. Improved outside shooting and a solid team game earned the Hornets an 87-31 win. This earned the Hornets a spot in quarterfinal action against the Gatineau Mystique. The Hornets used a high tempo team game in this match and scored frequently in transition, with strong performances coming from the entire roster. The result was an overwhelming 91-10 victory over the

Gatineau Mystique and a trip to the semifinals. In this semi-final action, the Hornets faced the Gloucester Wolverines whose strong defensive play forced turnovers, allowing the Wolverines to establish an early ten point lead. But the Hornets responded with their own defensive push and strong scoring touch, erasing this Wolverine lead and moving into a 37-27 lead at half time. The Hornets continued their good play in the second half, eventually winning 77-43. This took the Goulbourn Hornets to the championship final and a re-match with the Nepean Blue Devils team which the Hornets had just narrowly defeated in their opening game in the tournament. The game featured several lead changes in the first half. However, the experience gained in the opening game served the Hornets well as they made some adjustments that allowed their offense to function more smoothly. This, combined with a solid defense, opportunistic play and good shooting eventually proved too much for the Nepean Blue Devils. The Hornets went on to win by a 77-56 score, claiming the gold medals and the tournament’s Major Midget AAA championship. It was a great way to start the team’s tournament play this season.

‘A Garland of Carols’ filled with show stoppers John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - What a concert! Not just because of the variety of Christmas songs and carols on the program but because of all of the ingredients that went into presenting this “A Garland of Carols” Christmas concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus last weekend. There were not only the melodic voices of the Ladies Chorus itself but also the guest male voices of the West Ottawa Chorale, the bells of the Trinity Handbell Quartet, the alluring sounds of Robin Tropper’s oboe, the guitar renderings of Gary King, the piano and even organ accompaniment of Eliana Kurilov, the energetic direction of Robert Dueck and the inclusion of several rhythmic calypso-beat songs. Put these all into one package or one garland as the case may be and you have a sensational two hours of entertainment. And that’s just what happened at this “A Garland of Carols” concert which was presented last Saturday evening and again last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road off Hazeldean Road in Kanata. It was a concert filled with show stoppers! Whenever the nine-voice West Ottawa Chorale, guest male tenor and bass singers, joined the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, it was a real musical treat as these additional male voices seemed to add an extra musical breath and depth to the song, whether it was “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Show!”, “In The Bleak Midwinter,” or the closing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” And when the Ladies Chorus was joined not only by the male West Ottawa Chorale but also bell ringers from the Trinity Handbell Quartet, Robin Tropper on oboe and the audience for the singing of “Twas In The Moon of Wintertime,” the sound was spectacular.

And when the guest Trinity Handbell Quartet performed on its own under the direction of Stuart Belson, you could hear a proverbial pin drop in the spacious church or, more appropriately, you could hear even the gentlest of bells spreading its melodic tone through the church. The audience was particularly attentive when the Quartet presented a handbell arrangement of the first movement from Beethoven’s famous piano solo, the Sonata in C# Minor, better known as the “Moonlight Sonata.” This piece saw the Handbell Quartet members use all 49 bells (four octaves) that were laid out on the tables before them, necessitating some quick movements and actions. In the second half of the program, the Trinity Handbell Quartet returned to play “Coventry Carol” and, probably quite appropriately, “Carol of the Bells.” “Coventry Carol” is a traditional carol which was sung by the Ladies Chorus earlier in the program. For both of these pieces, the bell ringers used 37 bells (three octaves) rather than the full 49 bells as in the earlier “Moonlight Sonata” piece. It was also a magical time when the bell ringers were part of the group that presented the traditional German carol “Still, Still, Still,” with the bell ringers graceful arm movements accentuating the sound of their bells. Accompanist Eliana Kurilov had switched to the church’s organ for this song, adding yet another musical dimension to the piece. And who knew that an oboe was such an appealing instrument, with its clear, warm, penetrating sound. Oboist Robin Tropper delivered the musical magic that this instrument can deliver with his skillful playing, not only in his pre-concert and intermission performances along with guitarist Gary King but also when he accompanied the Ladies Chorus and other performers during certain songs in the concert. These included “All on a Cold Winter’s Night” with the Ladies Chorus and “O Come All

Yet Faithful” in a mass performance complete with audience participation. Perhaps the most glorious and certainly the most infectious song in the whole concert was the “Calypso Carol” song delivered by the Ladies Chorus to open up the concert’s second half. The chorus was accompanied by percussion sticks and rattles along with Gary King’s guitar and Robin Tropper’s oboe. Yes, who would have thought that an oboe would fit right in with rhythm and beat of calypso music. And the calypso music continued with accompanist Eliana Kurilov taking over to direct a ladies ensemble that sang “Manger Boy,” and then “Time To Sing A Novel,” both featuring the calypso beat. And this was not the last time that a calypso-type beat was heard in the concert, as the Ladies Chorus and audience later combined on “Mary’s Little Boy Child,”

which had a calypso tone to it. But while there were all of these added features and attractions at this concert, the constant highlight was the crystal, melodic voices of the Ladies Chorus itself, under the direction of Robert Dueck. As MC Margaret Peeren said in her opening remarks at the concert, it was music director Robert Dueck who turned this group of musical strangers into a finely tuned group of singers for this December concert. And so you heard carol-like offerings like “Do You Hear What I Hear?”, “Away in a Manger,” and “Sleep, Little Tiny King” as well as fun Christmas songs like “Johnathon’s Bell Carol,” “No Time To Diet!” (ending with the phrase “Yum, Yum”), and the peppy, lively “Christmas Shopping Blues.” The 15 voice ladies ensemble drawn from the wider Ladies Chorus also treated the audience with its

presentations of “The Song of the Birds,” a Catalan Christmas carol, and “Slumber Song,” a German song whose rhythm associated both with its melody and its accompaniment suggests the rocking of a cradle. It’s about the Virgin Mary singing to her BabyJjesus while He sleeps. No wonder it is also known as “The Virgin’s Slumber Song or “Mary’s Lullaby.” So it is now wonder that the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and its guest performers at this “A Garland of Carols” concert received a standing ovation at the end of the performance – it was just that good of a performance, right from start to finish. And so MC Margaret Peeren was not wrong when, at the beginning of the concert, she advised those with electronic devices to turn them off for the concert but not before tweeting out that they were attending the best of concerts. Indeed, this is exactly what it turned out to be.

West Ottawa Ladies Chorus concert John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News – “A Garland of Carols� was the title of this year’s Christmas concert presented by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus under music director Robert Dueck of Stittsville with Eliana Kurilov as accompanist. Music guests at this year’s third annual concert included the Trinity Handbell Quartet, oboist Robin Tropper, guitarist Gary King and the West Ottawa Chorale, nine guest tenor and bass male singers who joined the Ladies Chorus on several pieces. The concert was presented last Saturday evening and again last Sunday afternoon at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. Current members of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus include Barbara Bottriell, Beth Ronaghan, Bev Armbruster, Debbie Kaye, Debbie Trouten, Ingrid Gemmell, Ingrid Shantz, Irene Moore, Jacqueline Sanders, Janet Ramsahoye, Jocelyne Wise, Julie Dustin, Kathy Panagapko, Kelly Lawson, Linda Noble, Liz Mevel, Lorraine Harker, Lynne Small, Margaret Peeren, Marilyn Snyder, Mary March, Maxine Mercer, Micheline Bouchard, Molly O’Connor, Monique T. Bruhn, Nancy Hayley, Nancy MacDonald, Nicole Lahey, Reta Hamilton, Ruth MacKenzie, Sharon Holzscherer, Sharon Neill, Shelley McLeod, Taisia Smellie, Vivian Latulippe and Vivian McLean. The West Ottawa Ladies Choir is an audtioned community choir that is continuing to grow and readily welcomes experienced singers interested in joining. Membership requirements are basic to intermediate music theory and music sight reading skills, the

ability to match pitch and blend and sing a designated voice part. Anyone interested in joining should contact director Rogert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or via email at LadiesChours@bell.net. Its director, Robert Dueck of Stittsville, shrives to instill an “enjoyment of singing� atmosphere with the group while also aspiring to quality standards. He believes that singing together creates friendship, harmony and mutual enjoyment. Eliana Kurilov, the accompanist, is a classically and sacred music trained musician who has more than 30 years of experience as a pianist and organist for choirs and churches. She also accompanies the Kanata Choral Society and teaches private piano at the Ottawa School of Music. Members of the West Ottawa Chorale, the guest male tenor and bass singers who joined the Ladies Chorus for several pieces in the concert, were Bill Helmer, David Steventon, Don Snyder, Gary King, James McIntosh, Jim Trouten, Martin Edwards, Rene Normandin and Winston Hooper. Oboe player Robin Tropper was trained in classic music but had to give up hopes for a professional career due to health issues and after acquiring a Masters of Science in computer engineering and now working for a major software company in Ottawa, he is returning to playing his oboe and this concert was an opportunity to get back to performing in a public venue. Guitar player Gary King is an accomplished musician and performer, having also played trumpet in marching bands and sung in Orpheus Musical Theatre productions. He sings with the Goulbourn Male Chorus. The Trinity Handbell Quartet, un-

der the direction of Stuart Belson, was formed in early 2013. It consists of four members of the larger Trinity Hilltop Ringers handbell group. The skills required to play small ensemble handbell music are different than the skills used when ringing with a full handbell choir. In a small ensemble group, the individual ringer may be called upon to ring any of the bells being used. With a full handbell choir, a ringer is usually responsible for only three or four bells. Members of the Trinity Handbell Quartet are Amy Sirotek, Danielle Carrie, Rachel Kuhl and Martin Edwards.

Stittsville News - Thursday, December 18, 2014 13

SPORTS Last week, I spent the majority of this column discussing Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee and some of the changes that were approved through our Governance Review. This week, I’m pleased to report another change regarding ARAC. At our Council meeting of December 10th I was named as Chair of the Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee, with Councillor George Darouze being named as Vice-Chair. After four years on Council, I am very excited to be able to chair this committee and work to provide increased leadership for the residents of Rideau-Goulbourn. I would like to thank former Councillor Doug Thompson for his years as Chair of ARAC and I am honoured to take over this important role. The naming of committee chairs was part of the Nominating Committee report that was approved by Council last week. Through this term of Council, I will be sitting on Environment Committee,Transportation Committee and Finance & Economic Development Committee, in addition to ARAC, of course. I will also resume my roles on the Built Heritage Sub-Committee, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and the Manotick Mill Quarter Community Development Corporation. We have a number of selection panels at the City as well, including three that I will be sitting on that help name the citizen members of the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the Environmental Stewardship Advisory Committee and the Committee of Adjustment. One thing I am particular excited about is being named to the Ottawa Public Library Board. We have four great rural libraries in Rideau-Goulbourn so I feel it is an important role to take in this term. During term of Council, we will likely be looking at a new central library and we’ll need to focus on some of our aging libraries, of which I know North Gower is on a list for renewal. I am very excited for this term of Council and to have the ability to take on more leadership roles on your behalf.

Unique Christmas cards with image of yesteryear being sold at Goulbourn Museum Special to the News

News - It’s a win/win situation. You can get some unique Christmas cards while also helping out the Goulbourn Museum in its work of collecting and sharing the history of

the former Goulbourn township. The Goulbourn Museum is selling a Christmas card that features an image of yesteryear on its front, with the words “Happy Holidays’ inside the card.

The image on the front features a pair of black leather ice skates along with a skating lantern, harkening back to a time before indoor rinks when skating on outdoor frozen ponds was a favourite winter pastime. The

front cover image also features pine bowls, a blanket and a bench, all appropriately arranged to create an attractive and appealing cover image for the Christmas card. This Christmas card is being of-

fered by the Museum in packages of ten for $12. The cards are available for purchase from the Goulbourn Museum’s gift shop at the Museum at Stanley’s Corners.

O Come All Ye Faithful

John Francis Wade (English) O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye, to Bethlehem Come and behold Him Born, the King of Angels; O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Sing, choirs of angels Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above “Glory to God In the highest”; O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Hark The Herald Angels Sing Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy William Hayman Cummings Charles Wesley

@BarrhavenJan @BarrhavenJan

Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King,” Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies, With the angelic host, proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.” (Refrain) Hark, the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King.” Christ, by highest heaven adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him Come, Offspring of a virgin’s womb, Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail, the heaven born Prince of peace! Hail, the Son o Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings, Mild He lays His glory by Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas English

We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. (Refrain) Good tidings we bring to you and your kin; We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem Phillips Brooks 19th Century Lewis H. Redner 19th Century

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in the dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary; And gathering all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently how silently, The wonderous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him, still The dear Christ enters in. O Holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in; Be born in us today. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel.

Joy To The World Isaac Watts 1719 Lowell Mason 1839 George Fredrick Handel

Joy to the world! The Lord is come Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room And heaven and nature sing And heaven and nature sing And heaven, and heaven and nature sing Joy to the world! the Savior reigns Let men their songs employ While fields and floods Rocks, hills and plains Repeat the sounding joy Repeat the sounding joy Repeat, repeat the sounding joy No more let sins and sorrows grow Nor thorns infest the ground He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found Far as the curse is found Far as, far as the curse is found He rules the world with truth and grace And makes the nations prove The glories of His righteousness And wonders of His love And wonders of His love And wonders and wonders of His love

Jingle Bells James Pierpont

Dashing thro’ the snow In a one horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! (Refrain) Jingle bells, Jingle bells! Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh! A day or two ago I thought I’d take a ride, And soon Miss Fannie Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank, Misfortune seem’d his lot He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got up-sot. Now the ground is white, Go it while you’re young, Take the girls tonight, And sing the sleighing song. Just get a bob-tailed nag, Two forty for his speed, Then hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you’ll take the lead.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Had a very shiny nose And if you ever saw it you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names, They never let poor Rudolph Join in any reindeer games. Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you drive my sleight tonight?� Then now the reindeer loved him As they shouted out with glee “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer You’ll go down in history.�

It Came Upon The Midnight Clear Arthur Seymour Sullivan Edmund Hamilton Sears

It came upon a midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:“Peace on earth, goodwill to men, From heaven’s all-gracious King!� The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled: And still their heavenly music floats O’er all the weary world; Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing. And ever o’er its Babel Sounds The blessed angels sing. And ye, beneath life’s crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow, Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing; O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. For lo, the days are hastening on, By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever circling years Comes round the age of gold; When peace shall over all the earth Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song Which now the angels sing.

William James Kirkpatrick Stanley L. Osborne

Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky Look down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay by my side Until morning is nigh.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND MANY THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR!

This star drew nigh to the north-west, O’er Bethlehem it took its rest, And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Then entered in those wise men three, Full reverently upon bended knee, And offered there, in His presence, Their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Cyclones are champions Special to the News

Submitted

Members of the Stittsville Peewee Cyclones, champions in the recent annual Holiday House League Tournament at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata, are, front row, kneeling, from left, Alexander Holm, Jason Huynh, goalie Eric Wallace, Alexander Larwill and Guiseppe Scarfo; second row, standing, from left, Sean Donohue, Keelor Goffin, Maureen Tymen, Dylan Thornley (behind), Alexandre Linteau, David Goodwin, Lucas Allen and Tristan Deschamps; and, back row, from left, goalie coach Bruce Wallace, assistant coach Morgan Holm, trainer Santo Scarfo, manager Bill Goodwin, head coach Tim Larwill, who is helping to hold up the championship banner, and assistant coach Pierre Deschamps who is also holding up the championship banner.

Sports – Playing the first place team in the tournament. Challenging. Being tied after regulation time and playing double overtime. Exciting. Going to a shootout and emerging as victors. Priceless. This was the experience of the Stittsville Peewee Cyclones in the annual Holiday House League Tournament at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata on the weekend of Dec. 5-7. And this was only in semi-final action on the Sunday, Dec. 7. This victory took the Cyclones to the championship game where the team had a much easier time of it thanks to a four goal/one assist performance by Alexandre Linteau as the Cyclones posted a 7-1 win and earned the championship trophy and banner. The exciting semi-final win earlier in the day saw the Cyclones go up against the tournament’s first place team, the Nepean Blades. It was tied 1-1 after three periods of play, so it was on to overtime. Double overtime solved nothing, meaning that it was shootout time. Guiseppe Scarfo got the Cyclones’ first goal in the shootout while Maureen Tymen scored the winning goal. Meanwhile, Cyclones’ goalie Eric Wallace did his thing, allowing only

one Nepean goal to give the Cyclones the victory and a trip to the tournament’s championship game. In this championship game, the Cyclones went up against the Loups des Collins team from Hull (Gatineau), a team that had beaten the Cyclones in round robin play. But this championship game was a different story and the cyclones skated away with the tournament championship. In round robin play in the tournament, the Stittsville Cyclones started off on Friday, Dec. 5 against an Ottawa West squad, winning by a 9-0 score. Then, on Saturday, Dec. 6, the cyclones went up against the Hull (Gatineau) team that the Cyclones would later meeting in the tournament’s championship game. The Stittsvillre Cyclones strugged in this game against the Hull team and despite a standout effort by goalie Eric Wallace, the Cyclones lost this game 4-2. After this loss, the Cyclones settled down and in an evening game against an Ottawa West team, the Cyclones skated to an 8-2 victory, earning a trip to semi-final action. This turned out to be the double overtime/shootout victory game against the Nepean Blades.

News - The planning process leading to approval of a new residential subdivision takes time, involving numerous groups such as city planners, school boards, residents, politicians, Canada Post, Conservation Authories and more. Cathlyn Kaufman, a planner with the city of Ottawa,

Rosemary Brummell, AD left, president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa PROOF – Stittsville, thanks city of Ottawa FORMright, planner Cathlyn Kaufman, for her presentation at a recent Rotary Club meeting.

told about this lengthy planning process in a presentation at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at the Bistro 54 Restaurant in Stittsville. Ms. Kaufman worked in the private sector for a number of years before joining the former city of Gloucester’s planning department and subsequently the city of Ottawa following the 2001 amalgamation of municipalities in the Ottawa area. She explained that as a planner, she steers a new development through the planning process, getting input about it from various parties along the way. She notes that getting a subdivision approved for development takes a long time because of the many planning requirements involved. Ms. Kaufman has a Rotary connection in that she was the city planner who handled the file for the new Ottawa Rotary Home which provides respite relief for those caring for the disabled and handicapped. She said that she enjoyed working on this Ottawa Rotary Home project and developing a site plan for it that could meet the Rotary’s timeline for the project. She noted that there now is a street called “Rotary Way� which serves this new Ottawa Rotary Home. It for-

merly was called “Sundance Way� before the name change. Planning documents which impact residential land development include the city’s Official Plan which Ms. Kaufman says is essentially a long term business plan for the municipality as well as a Community Design Plan which compliments the Official Plan’s rules pertaining to land development in a certain area. City wide growth managements plans such as the city’s Master Transportation Plan and area specific plans such as servicing and drainage plans for a specific area also must be respected in the approval process for a new subdivision. A subdivision first receives draft approval which includes a number of general and specific conditions which must be met before the subdivision can be registered with the Land Registry Office. For the construction of homes to start in a new subdivision, storm and sanitary sewers must have work orders issued covering their installation. There also has to be a water permit for water and utility easements must be registered. Building permits must be issued before construction of any homes can begin.

Sacred Heart student has ‘team first’ outlook John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There’s no doubt Brady Sterling loves sports. But there’s also no doubt that while he enjoys playing sports, he enjoys even more being a great teammate and helping others enjoy sports. Indeed, he readily admits that he likes assisting on a goal in hockey more than scoring one. It was this kind of “team first” attitude and helping others that earned Brady an Athletic Leadership Award at the grade 7/8 athletic awards assembly at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville last June. This award recognized Brady’s efforts to include his fellow student teammates in athletic games, involving them in the activity and being a team player. This award only recognized what Brady is always trying to do and that is include others in his sporting activities. This year, the grade 8 student has played for the school’s soccer team, serving as the captain, as well as for the ultimate frisbee team and the volleyball team. But he will not be done there. He is trying out for the ping pong team as well as the hockey team. Indeed, he will probably end up trying out for most of the school’s intermediate-level teams, although not the basketball or wrestling teams as he admits to having no real interest in those sports. But all of the other sports are going to get a look.

Brady says that his sports activities keep him busy and are something that he looks forward to each day. He says that the sports involvement inspires him to get his school work done so that he can participate in the sports activities. “I like team sports more,” he says about his sports preferences and this is because others are involved. He says that he is a competitive person who wants to win but his major focuses are trying his best and helping others on the team. Outside of school in the community, Brady plays competitive hockey for the Richmond West Carleton Crusaders minor bantam team. A defenseman, he says that he would rather assist on a goal than score one himself. He likes it if he can help his team win, particularly if the goalie can get a shutout. Brady also plays competitive soccer in the community with the West Ottawa Soccer Club in the summer and also plays tennis at the Manotick Tennis Club. He often plays his father who usually beats him but not always. Another sporting activity which Brady enjoys is skiing. He takes part in the school’s ski club trips to Camp Fortune and usually his family takes a skiing trip during the winter. He admits that he has no favourite sports. Hockey, soccer, skiing, tennis and volleyball are all favourites. “I like them all, really,” he says. That’s not only because he is good at these sports but also because they are fun to do, particularly with friends. He says that he has lots of friends on

his hockey and soccer teams and it is always great to see them and play sports with them. At school, Brady enjoys social studies as well as math and science. He is in the French Immersion program which he enjoys. He thinks that he may want to pursue being a doctor and surgeon because of his liking for math and science. He does know that when he is an adult, he wants to keep fit so that he can continue to take part in sports. Brady has a sister Tierney who is in grade 10 at Sacred Heart as well as another sister Hillary who is in grade 6 at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond and will be attending Sacred Heart for grade 7 next year. The family has a dog and a cat and Tierney does ride a horse. In the summer, Brady enjoys fishing as well as swimming in the family pool and playing outside. In the winter, the family has a backyard rink so he gets lots of opportunity to practice his skating and even his shooting. He also snowmobiles in the winter. Brady used to play the piano and the guitar but he no longer does this. He enjoys reading especially criminal adventure stories where crimes are solved. Brady likes to travel and twice a year the family usually takes a trip together. Destinations for these family trips have included the Bahamas, New Jersey and Banff. He has travelled to England with his soccer team, playing against British competition which he says was really strong opposition.

No classes at Ottawa Waldorf School Special to the News

News - The Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville is not operating this school year. No classes are being offered in the 20142015 school year. The Ottawa Waldorf School has been located and operating in Stittsville since 1979, having taken over a former Jehovah’s Witnesses Kingdom Hall. Additional space was added at the site which is on Goulbourn Street in Stittsville, although the site can also be accessed from the municipal parking lot off Stittsville Main Street just south of Abbott Street. The school delivered the Waldorf education model which is a humanistic approach to pedagogy based on the educational philosophy of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. The Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville has offered only kindergarten to grade eight schooling. The first Waldorf school in the world opened

in 1919 in Stuttgart, Germany. At present, there are over 1,000 Waldorf schools in the world, located in about 60 countries. The name Waldorf came to be applied to these schools as the first school was opened in 1919 in Germany to serve the children of employees of the Walforf-Astoria Cigarette Company. Thus the name Waldorf became associated with the school and the name is now trademarked for use in association with the educational method espoused by founder Rufolf Steiner. Rufolf Steiner was an Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect and esotericist. He founded a spiritual movement called anthroposophy which has its roots in German idealist philosophy and theosophy. It was after the First World War that Steiner founded a number of schools, the first of which was known as the Walforf school which later evolved into the worldwide school network that exists today.

News - A public meeting about changes in the plan for a proposed subdivision at the south end of Stittsville east of Stittsville Main Street will be held early in the New Year. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri has requested this meeting due to a number of changes being made in the proposed plan for the new subdivision. The site of this proposed subdivision is surrounded by the Upcountry/West Wind Farms subdivision to the north, the Woodside Acres country estate lot development to the south and Monarch Homes’ Traditions subdivision across Stittsville Main Street to the west. One of the proposed changes is to have two storm water ponds. Another change is that two properties on Stittsville Main Street recently acquired by the developer have been included in the subdivision plan. The location of a park has been changed and there are changes to the street pattern in the subdivision. For more information about this proposed development, please contact city of Ottawa planner Lily Xu at 613-580-2424, ext. 27505 or via email at Lily.Xu@ottawa.ca .

Tree lighting ceremony at Sacred Heart John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - A Christmas tree is a most enduring symbol of the Christmas season. So too is the nativity scene. And when you combine these with music and other symbols like angels, a star, candles, bells and more, you have unfolded before you all that makes the Christmas season so special. And that’s why the annual tree lighting ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville is always a cherished pre-Christmas moment for so many. Again this year, the foyer at the school was filled with people of all ages on Wednesday evening, Dec. 10 as a giant Christmas tree was the centre of attention, with a threefold blessing accompanying a similar three-fold lighting of the tree. And then, suddenly, there it was, in all of its seasonal glory – Alleluia! This followed the placing of several candle lights at the base of the tree and was followed by a re-enactment of the nativity story and the placement of other seasonal symbols on the tree including a paper chain, Christmas balls, an-

gels, bells, birds, candy canes, bowls and gifts. The meaning of each symbol was explained. The tree itself symbolizes life that never ends as well as the beauty and wonder of God’s creation and Sacred Heart’s Catholic spirit. A paper chain is a symbol of the connectedness of those in the school community to each other and a reminder that families are held together with love. Christmas balls with their different colours and sizes are a reminder of the various races in the world of today, all different but all equally loved by God. Christmas balls were hung not only on the Christmas tree but hung as well from the ceiling of the foyer’s entranceway and in the rear of the foyer as well, with each home classroom in the school being represented as a way of welcoming everyone to the school. The balls hung on the tree, more than 75 in all, represented the students and staff of the school. Angels are a reminder that it was an angel who spoke to Mary and it was a choir of angels which heralded Jesus’ birth on that first Christmas long ago. Bells are a symbol of guidance, having sounded for centuries to call people to worship. Bells call people together. A connection was drawn between bells and angels as Sacred Heart teacher Marina Westbrook, who was announcing the significance of the various symbols at the tree lighting ceremony, referred to the traditional Christmas movie “It’s A Wonderful

Life” and its memorable thought that each time that a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. Birds, namely doves, are a symbol of peace and happiness and a sign that the Holy Spirit is among us all. Bows and gifts are reminders of the spirit of

the community and that Jesus is the greatest gift of all from God. Candy canes represent a helping hand, symbolic of the shepherd’s crook with which he defends and save his sheep. See TREE LIGHTING, page 42

Tree lighting ceremony Continued from page 41

They remind us all that we should be supportive of those in need. The tree lights themselves symbolize the light that has come into the world with the birth of Jesus. In addition, the varied colours of these tree lights are a reminder that the many races in the world reflect the beauty of God’s love. A star is a reminder of the star of Bethlehem which guided the Wise Men and the shepherds to the stable where Jesus was born. A star shone from a three floor location, high up in the foyer’s atrium above the lighted Christmas tree. It is an enduring sign of the fulfilment of the prophecy that Jesus the Saviour would be born. The tree lighting ceremony also included preliminary performances by the Sacred Heart concert band, the Girls’ Youth Choir and the Only Boys Aloud singing group. In her welcoming remarks at the tree lighting ceremony, Sacred Heart principal Alex Belloni welcomed everyone to the event, saying that it is an event that truly shows what the Sacred Heart Catholic High School community is all about. She thanked all those in attendance for sharing “this special moment with us.” Members of the Sacred Heart grade 7/8 String Club and the high school’s String Ensemble both played seasonal music leading up to the tree lighting litury, including “Shepherds We Have Heard On High” and “Hark the Her-

ald Angels Sing.” The singing of “Silent Night” opened the formal tree lighting liturgy which included an opening prayer, a scripture reading and prayer intentions. A three-fold blessing in combination with the turning on of the Christmas tree lights was accompanied by the sung refrain “O Come All Ye Faithful.” Following the presentation of the nativity story, the school’s senior choir sang “The First Nowell.” “Joy to the World” completed the tree lighting ceremony. But this was not the end of the evening’s activities at the school. A series of family activities were set up in the foyer’s rear hallway area including face painting, cookie decorating, letters to Santa, colouring, Christmas crafts and storytelling. There was also a student art show set up. Elsa and Anna from the Disney animated movie “Frozen” both were on hand, mingling with the crowd. At this tree lighting event celebrating the season of Advent, donations were also being accepted to help out Relay for Life (helping fight cancer), SchoolBox, the Stittsville Food Bank and the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). In addition, socks were being accepted for the “Socks for Shepherds” initiative, providing John Curry/Metroland socks for those at the Shepherds of Good Hope Students Aiden Saunders, left, and Ian Wooltorton, right, play cellos at the annual family mission. DVD players were also collected to be tree lighting ceremony at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Wednesday provided to CHEO for use in patient rooms. evening, Dec. 10.

News - The financial challenge facing Richmond single dad Myles Dear and his eight year old son Kyram got a big boost at last Sunday’s “Lunch with Santa� event at St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond. Myles and Kyram were presented with $2,500 thanks to $500 donations from five Richmond groups – St. Philip’s Catholic Women’s League, the St. Philip’s Knights of Columbus, the Euchre Club at St. Philip’s Parish, the Richmond Firefighters and the Richmond District Lions Club. These donations will help as Myles tries to raise $65,000 in order to pay for the supports that Kyram needs for the coming year as he appeals to the provincial government over the provision of increased permanent funding for Kyram’s ongoing care. At the “Lunch with Santa� event, Kyram, who is living with numerous severe disabilities, also had the opportunity to meet Santa Claus.

Myles Dear has been trying to raise $65,000 through a crowd funding initiative, funding that is needed to allow Kyram to continue to have the care he needs while Myles appeals his son’s situation to the province, seeking more financial assistance. Up until now, Myles has been able to meet the expenses involved in his son’s care that are not covered by provincial health care by using the insurance money received after the death of his late wife Simone in 2011. But now this funding has run out and Myles has been looking for new ways to support his child. Keeping a skilled caregiving team to help is son is vital, not only because of the progress that such care is facilitating in his son but also because without such a team to help him care for his son, he risks losing his job, his house and the stable environment on which his son depends. Kyram has a bright mind, charisma and a winning attitude. See DONATIONS, page 59

At the presentation of five $500 cheques to help out Myles Dear and his son Kyram meet some of the expenses involved in Kyram’s care are, from left, Luc St. Jean of the St. Philip’s Knights of Columbus; Myles Dear who is holding Kyram; Chris Lalonde, president of the Richmond District Lions Club; Rita Dodd of the St. Philip Euchre Club; Sheila Hearne of the St. Philip Catholic Women’s League; Laura Laplante; and Pete Laplante of the Richmond Firefighters.

Donations to help Dear family Continued from page 54

Despite his disability challenges and with the help of his trained caregivers, Kyram has progressed from a pre-kindergarten to a grade three reading/writing level within the past year. He has done this even though he cannot even hold a pencil. He has found a way to communicate via eye blink and tongue click. A blink means “yes” so that he can now respond to a question or indicate his preferences in a list. He has also recently begun making a clicking sound into a microphone to manipulate a computer. These blinks and clicks are allowing Kyram to communicate and to provide just how sharp his mind is. He does attend school. Myles does not want to see his son’s progress slowed down or stopped due to a lack of funding. This is why he is searching for a long term solution to his present funding crisis. Myles and Kyram do receive help from King’s Your Independent Grocer of Richmond which helps the family by doing its shopping,

doing some food preparation and delivering the groceries to the home. This saves Myles several hours each week which is time that he can then spend with Kyram. This arrangement was facilitated by Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa, a registered charitable organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities participate fully in community life. Its website can be found at www.citizenadvocacy.org. For more information about Myles and Kyram or to get involved in a community support network for Kyram, please contact Andrea Podruski, a program manager for Citizen Advocacy of ottawa, at 613-761-9522, ext. 229 or via email at apodruski@citizenadvocacy.org. Kyram needs intensive care. While some costs are covered by provincial funding, some costs are not, including additional disability support care since Myles, who is a software engineer, works until 7 p.m., requiring extra support while he is away at work.

Farm Boy partnering with CHEO to promote healthier, better lives. Farm Boy, a local fresh food retailer entices customers to help raise funds for CHEO nutrition education, research and programming. Farm Boy’s latest fundraising campaign takes off this week with their fourth annual coupon book. Customers can save money, while helping raise money for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). “Our customers know that ensuring the health of our children is one of the most basic and important things we can do together. Over the years, the progress we’ve helped to achieve on behalf of CHEO is something we’re very proud of and our customers have been a big part of that,” said Jeff York, CEO of Farm Boy. York noted that over the past 15 years, Farm Boy customers have helped raise over $1.3 million for CHEO, which has been used for equipment purchases and the outdoor Farm Boy Fun Park. Kicking off the coupon book campaign, Farm Boy presented a $60,324.43 cheque for nutrition education, research and programming. Money raised last year was designated for CHEO’s Healthy Active Living Centre. The centre was established to improve the health and quality of life of children with weight-related health complications, and support them and their families in achieving a healthy, active lifestyle. “I’m proud of how our customers, suppliers and employees have made this

donation possible,” said York. “Thanks to them, we can help children in our community embrace healthy active lifestyles, including healthy eating.” Eastern Ontario residents can purchase the $10 coupon book with 100% of that going to CHEO. This year’s coupon book contains over $100 in savings on favourite Farm Boy products and 22 tasty recipes from the Farm Boy recipe contest winners and Farm Boy Chef, including the recipe for their coveted, December Fresh Soup of the Month—Wholesome Mushroom Kale Soup.

“We are proud of our longstanding relationship with Farm Boy and its loyal customers. We want to thank everyone who works and shops at Farm Boy for the outstanding support they continue to provide to the children and young families served by CHEO. Farm Boy’s focus may be all about the food but they do it with an unwavering commitment to keeping our kids as healthy as they can be.” KEVIN KEOHANE PRESIDENT & CEO, CHEO FOUNDATION

Both Farm Boy and CHEO hope that this year’s coupon book is a big success.

IO ONTAR

Lifestyle - The contrast between buttery crisp paper-thin phyllo and sumptuous mushrooms is both impressive and unexpected. Easy to make and no frying required. Preparation time: 30 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Baking time: 13 minutes. Makes nine rolls. Ingredients * 125 ml butter (1/2 cup) butter * 250 g (8 oz) mushrooms, finely chopped * 50 ml (1/4 cup) finely chopped shallots * 5 ml (1 tsp) dried tarragon leaves * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt * 50 ml (1/4 cup) grated Asiago * 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley * 6 sheets phyllo pastry * 45 ml (3 tbsp) coarsely chopped fresh parsley Preparation In a large skillet, melt 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots, tarragon and salt, and cook, stirring often, until the mushrooms seem dry -- about 10 minutes. Transfer the filling into a bowl. Stir in the cheese and 50 ml (1/4 cup) chopped parsley. (If

you’re making it ahead, cover and refrigerate it for up to two days.) For the rolls, melt the remaining 90 ml (6 tbsp) of butter. Lay one phyllo sheet on your work surface with the long end closest to you. Cover the remaining phyllo with a damp tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Lightly brush the phyllo sheet with butter. Scatter about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the coarsely chopped parsley on top of the phyllo sheet. Top with another phyllo sheet and brush it with butter. Cut the pastry sheets vertically into three, 12-centimetre (five-inch) wide strips. Discard the leftover thin strips. Mound about 25 ml (2 tbsp) of the filling, 2.5 centimetres (one inch) from bottom of one strip. Pat the filling into log shape, leaving one centimetre (1/2-inch) phyllo border on both sides. Fold in both long sides of phyllo strip, about one centimetre (1/2-inch) wide, bringing them up and over filling ends. Lightly brush folded sides with butter. Fold bottom edge of phyllo strip over filling and roll up. Brush roll with butter and place seam side down on nonstick baking sheet. Repeat process twice more making nine rolls. Bake in 190 C (375 F) oven until golden, 13 to 15 minutes. Serve warm.

The choir was missing one voice, Samantha, who was sick that evening.

News - Voices were front and centre at the Gaia Java Coffee Company’s music evening last Friday. First up, singing a variety of Christmas songs such as “Jingle Bells,” Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” were nine youthful voices from the West End Music Studio in Stittsville. Indeed, this was the first public performance ever by this girls Christmas a cappella choir under the direction of Katelyn Osmand-Deveraux – a world premiere, you could say. But it will not be the last, as the group has two performances in Stittsville coming up this weekend. The girls accompanied themselves with bells which they shook as they sang, adding a festive holiday sound to their vocal offerings. Their 12 minute performance was followed by the voices of the Harmonic Generation a cappella group which presented some of the pop and Christmas songs that it would be singing two days later at its “Silver & Gold” holiday concert at the De Mazenod Chapel at Saint Paul University on Main Street in Ottawa last Sunday afternoon. The 13 voice Harmonic Generation delivered pop and folk songs in the first half of its performance including Stan Rogers’ iconic “Northwest Passage” and the Jackson 5’s first number one hit, “I Want You Back.” Their performance also included a new original song written by Ottawa composer and musician Tyler Kealey called “Following The Full Moonlight.” Tyler was the group’s special guest at its concert last Sunday at Saint Paul University. In the second half of its performance, Harmonic Generation sang a number of Christmas carols and tunes including “Born On A New Day,” “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” “Mary, Did You Know?”, “Carol of the Bells,” “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” and a closing “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.” The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart Plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts music evenings every Friday starting at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge. This coming Friday, Dec. 19, two vocal music students attending Queens University in Kingston will be performing at the music evening. Keli Jay and Mollie Roy have performed previously at the Gaia Java shop. Another feature of this Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java shop will be an update on the community project in Kamengo, Uganda which is what all of the tips and donations made at the Gaia Java shop go to support. This is done through the Canada Africa Community Health Alliance (CACHA) which works to support disease prevention, treatment, care and education of the most vulnerable in Uganda.

Rideau-Goulbourn councillor wants committee to have stronger voice Laura Mueller

laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Rideau-Goulbourn Coun. Scott Moffatt wants to make the city’s rural and agriculture affairs committee s stronger voice for rural residents now that he’s in charge. Moffatt was named as the new chairman of the committee on Dec. 10. He replaced Doug Thompson, who led the committee before he retired from politics after the recent municipal election. Moffatt said ARAC is an important body because it en-

sures that rural issues don’t “get swallowed up in the larger picture.� “Some issues that could be seen as minor from a citywide perspective are important to rural residents,� he said. The committee deserves more “prominence and stature,� Moffatt said. Even before he was named as the new chairman, Moffatt was already successful in proposing one change that works towards that. During city council’s first meeting of the new term on Dec. 3, Moffatt gained his colleague’s support for requiring

ARAC to approve changes to rural areas when the city reviews its development charges bylaw every five years (the bylaw was just updated earlier this year). Next on his list is making a change that would require ARAC to sign off on Official Plan changes relating to the rural areas before city council can adopt an updated Official Plan, which is the blueprint for land-use planning directions across the city. Having grown up in rural Ottawa and representing one of only three wards in the city that are entirely rural, the sec-

ond-term councillor said he’s a perfect fit for the job. “I think I can be a big voice for all of rural Ottawa,� Moffatt said. Moffatt will have some decisions to make as the new chairman, including deciding a new location for the ARAC meetings. On Dec. 3, city council voted to end the practice of having regular ARAC meetings scheduled in rural locations across the city. Moffatt said the first ARAC meetings of this new term of council will be held at city hall, but he will confer with

the other councillors who sit on the committee to determine whether another location, such as Ben Franklin Place in Nepean, would be a more central and convenient spot. Some meetings could still be held in rural locations if there is an item of particular interest to a certain area that will be discussed. “There is nothing off the table with how we meet with rural residents in the future,� Moffatt said. Moffatt said he would also like to be more proactive and “get ahead of issues and respond� with new policies be-

fore they become big issues. One such controversial issue that’s been percolating on the rural agenda for the past year is the city’s application of provincial water-quality guidelines known as D-55 when it comes to granting land severances. That issue should see some resolution or at least some movement in the near future, Moffatt said. He said he would like to see some recommendations come to ARAC from the D-55 working group that he and West Carleton-March Coun. Eli ElChantiry have been meeting with since the spring.
