JOHN CURRY
Louise Beggs of Stittsville has won one of the major prizes in an essay contest organized by the Intercultural Dialogue Insti-tute – Ottawa.
A part-time student in the theology faculty at St. Paul Uni-versity in Ottawa, she received one of two honourable mention awards in the contest, receiving a $500 prize which was formally presented at a gala dinner and ceremony at the Government Conference Centre (former rail-way station) across from the Chateau Laurier in downtown Ottawa on Wednesday evening, Oct. 5.
Students from St. Paul Uni-versity won three of the fi ve awards in the contest. Prizes ranged from $500 for an honour-able mention placing to $3,000
for fi rst place. There were 31 en-tries submitted in the contest.
The theme of the essay con-test this year, which was the inaugural year for the contest, was, simply put, “The Language of Art and the Art of Living To-gether.” The more formal theme title was “The Art of Living To-gether: What Can the Interna-tional Language of Arts Teach Us about Global Harmony?”
Ms. Beggs, who is a former Goulbourn township councillor, became aware of the essay con-test when she saw an advertise-ment for it.
She had been doing some course work involving conversa-tions with Muslims and she saw the essay contest as a good way of collecting her thoughts and writing about her developing thoughts and ideas on intercul-tural relationships.

Blessing of pets at Holy SpiritJOHN CURRY
Holy Spirit Parish went to the dogs on Tuesday evening, Oct. 4 – literally.
Oh, there were also cats involved as well but the majority of the pets that were brought to the foyer area of Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road in Stitts-ville for a blessing of pets service were dogs, some of whom made their presence known on occasion with barks that re-sounded through the spacious foyer.
Deacon Ron McRae led the service, call-ing on the intercession of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. It is customary in the Catholic faith to hold a blessing of pets and animals service on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi which is Oct. 4.
After an opening hymn, Helen McRae read a text from Genesis. Following a prayer, Deacon McRae blessed the ani-mals, sprinkling holy water as an out-ward symbol of this action.
A closing prayer ended the service.

CommunityTherien Martial Arts raises $20,000 for CHEOJOHN CURRY
At the beginning of the summer, it seemed like a most ambitious, almost unachievable goal – raising $20,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) over the course of the summer.
But last Saturday, before an audi-ence of about 75 students in the stu-dio at Therien Martial Arts in Stitts-ville and with more parents watching from behind the glass of the waiting area, owner Randy Cooligan formally handed over a giant cheque for CHEO in the amount of $20,000. The goal was accomplished.
This was the third straight year in which Therien Martial Arts has made a substantial donation to CHEO after a summertime of fundraising. In 2009, it was $5,000. Last year it was doubled to $10,000. And this year the $20,000 mark was achieved.
In his remarks at the cheque presen-tation, Mr. Cooligan thanked everyone who had a hand in the fundraising ef-forts this past summer. He noted how valued CHEO is in the Ottawa commu-nity.
The cheque presentation took place following a session which involved a number of Therien students of differ-ent belt levels. The activity involved such things as belt push ups, a game stepping on belts that were being car-ried and another game where belts were used to lasso another partici-pant. This was followed by a demon-stration given by three pairs of black belt sensei – two from Therien Martial Arts in Stittsville and one pair from the Manotick studio.
All of this fundraising for CHEO
this year started with an end-of-school block party on Saturday, June 25 with two bouncy structures on the Cedar-ow Court site along with lots of games and activities including face painting for youngsters. There was a BBQ and bake sale along with a silent auction, with the proceeds going to CHEO.
Youngsters were able to try out mar-ital arts for only $20 per person, again with the proceeds going to CHEO.
This end-of-school block party kicked off the summer-long fundrais-ing for CHEO, with monthly fund-raising BBQ’s held in both July and August. In addition, Therien martial arts students who competed in tour-naments during the summer collected pledges for CHEO in order to compete. Throughout the summer, donations to CHEO were accepted at Therien Mar-tial Arts in exchange for a month of free training.
Greg McPherson, a black belt in-
structor at Therien Martial Arts in Stittsville, joined in the CHEO fund-raising by doing 400 push-ups a day while gathering pledges of support.
Another instructor, sensei Rogan Ferguson at Therien Martial Arts in Manotick, joined Mr. McPherson on the push-up bandwagon, also raising funds for CHEO through his push-up efforts.
More fundraising was accom-plished by two brothers in Manotick who raised $1,600 for CHEO by shav-ing their heads.
Raising funds for CHEO is a very personal thing for Therien Martial Arts owner Randy Cooligan as both of his young daughters, Trinity and Kira, have been diagnosed with cystic fi brosis. However, CHEO has provided unbelievable treatment and care for them and so Randy is determined to do something in appreciation for this by raising funds for CHEO.

Community Update
In light of recent unfortunate activities related to vandalism and suspected arson in the Stittsville community during the last month, I would like to reassure you that these incidents are being considered with the utmost priority.
A meeting was held upon my request, through Mayor Jim Watson’s offi ce, and attended by Mayor Watson, Police Chief Vern White, Fire Chief John deHooge, colleagues Councillor Mark Taylor and Councillor Eli El-Chantiry, as well as City staff and myself.
As the investigation continues into the September 30 suspicious fi re at 721 Eagle Crest Heights and vandalism to more than 30 vehicles on several Stittsville streets, Chief White has confi rmed that additional police patrolling in marked and unmarked vehicles has been assigned to the affected areas. Furthermore, the Ontario Fire Marshal’s offi ce will also be participating in the investigation of the September 30 suspicious fi re.
I am also working with local developers to ensure construction sites are secured and adequate security protection is in place.
You have a key role to play in being vigilant of any suspicious activities in your neighbourhood. If you see any suspicious activities, please call the Ottawa Policeat 613-230-6211 immediately to report the details.
I also encourage neighbourhood groups to setup Neighbourhood Watch teams. I have attached a link for additional information on organizing these teams:
ht tp: //www.ot tawapolice.ca /en /crimeprevention/neighbourhoodwatch/get_involved.aspx
While I recognize and share the community’s concerns about these recent troubling incidents, by working together as a community, we can put a stop to these current criminal activities in our neighbourhoods. Thank you for your efforts.
On October 13 at 7 pm at the Johnny Leroux Community Centre at 10 Warner Colpitts Lane a meeting will be held to discuss these incidents. Further information on this meeting will be made available on my website.

Vice-principals in StittsvilleSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville has a new vice-principal.
Rita Graaskamp is the new vice-princi-pal at Guardian Angels Catholic School, taking over from previous vice-principal Chantel Couture-Campbell who has be-come principal at Holy Redeemer Catho-lic School in Kanata.
A teacher since 1993, Ms. Graaskamp is serving as a vice-principal for the fi rst time in her career. She takes on this new assignment after working for the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s student services department.
St. Stephen Catholic School in Stitts-
ville did have a vice-principal appointed this September, with Mark Bruce assum-ing the position.
This was the fi rst vice-principal in the school’s history as enrolment was pro-jected at the required 450 student mark. But enrolment at the school did not reach this mark and so Mr. Bruce has been reap-pointed to be vice-principal at the new St. Gabriel Catholic School in Kanata where enrolment has reached the 450 mark.
Rian Bayne is the vice-principal at the new Westwind Public School in Stittsville which just opened in September.
She was formerly at Bayshore Public School. She has been a teacher for nine years.
John Brummell photo Rian Bayne is the new vice-principal at Westwind Public School in Stittsville. She comes to the school after serving as vice-principal at Bayshore Public School.

Cibele Borges from Brazil on Rotary exchange programJOHN CURRY
Appearing on a television show. At-tending a fi rst-ever hockey game and an Ottawa Senators game at that. And ex-periencing growth opportunities, both professionally and as a person. These are what 35 year old Cibele Borges of Brazil is doing as a participant in a four person Rotary group study exchange program that has seen her visit Stittsville.
She was on the CTV Morning Live television show when it was broadcast from Village Square Park in Stittsville on Wednesday, Sept. 28, appearing on the show with a number of members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville who told about the work that Rotary is doing in the Stittsville community and also abroad, setting up a library in a commu-nity in Uganda.
This came just after she had attended an Ottawa Senators pre-season game at Scotiabank Place. It was the fi rst time that she had seen the game of hockey. She remarked on the speed of the sport and the hitting involved, noting that it ap-pears to be diffi cult to score. However, she thoroughly enjoyed attending the game.
“It’s great,” she said, noting how it’s fun to attend such a game as the people there seem very happy.
An occupational therapist who works in public health in Brazil, Ms. Borges is visiting a number of health-related facili-ties while in the Ottawa area including a psychiatry clinic and a children’s clinic. Other spots visited on her stay in this area will be the War Museum, the Museum of Civilization, the Brazilian embassy and a Rotary district meeting in Watertown, New York.
“It’s an amazing opportunity,” she says about being involved in the Rotary ex-change program, saying that it is allow-ing her to visit another country where she can observe other ways and technologies
involved in her profession. For instance, she noticed that the training involved in slightly different. In Canada, an occupa-tional therapist like herself would attend a college for two years and then a univer-sity for two more years. In Brazil, it is a fi ve year university course.
Ms. Borges got involved in the Rotary group study exchange program after be-ing told about it by a co-worker. She ap-plied and was successful in being accept-ed. In her group are three engineers and herself, along with a group leader who happens to be a lawyer.
She is on her fi rst visit to Canada and indeed on her fi rst trip outside Brazil.
“I’m loving it,” she says about the ex-perience.
“When you have the opportunity, you have to do it,” she says about travelling to other countries, adding that it allows a person to grow as a human being.
One difference that Ms. Borges has no-ticed between Brazil and Canada is how neighbourhoods in Canada are more beautiful since in Brazil homes are sur-rounded by fences and walls for protec-tion, giving a different appearance to the housing neighbourhoods there.
In Brazil, as an occupational therapist, she works with a group of a number of other health professionals in giving sup-port to neighbourhood public health cen-tres.
Ms. Borges loves her work as an occu-pational therapist.
“It’s a beautiful profession where you can work with people,” she says, noting that in her work she is able to help people get back their health and physical func-tions.
While Portuguese is the main language in Brazil, many there also want to learn English which is viewed as a universal language. Ms. Borges also teaches Eng-lish as her mother operates a private school. She herself has studied English since she was a teenager.

So she set out and submitted her essay which ran to about 20,000 words, covering ten pages.
At the presentation ceremony, Dr. Ya-vuz Zeybek, chair of the Intercultural Dialogue Institute – Ottawa, noted in his welcoming remarks that the essay con-test was organized this year for univer-sity students so that their voices could be heard on the matter of harmony in society.
He thanked the fi ve contest judges whom he said worked tirelessly to evalu-ate the submitted essays.
Dr. Katharine Kelly, chair of the essay contest judging committee, told the 150 at the ceremony that the judges were moved in many ways by the submitted essays which came from students at St. Paul University, the University of Ottawa and Carleton University.
She said that each author spoke in his or her essay from the heart and each one stressed how there is a need to communi-cate in order to ensure multicultural har-mony and understanding.
Dr. Howard Duncan, executive head of the Metropolis Project of Citizenship and Immigration Canada, in his comments at the ceremony, said that he was very im-pressed with the winning essays in the contest, copies of which he had received. He said that he was particularly struck by the commitment of the authors to mul-ticultural dialogue.
Indeed, he even called the contest a “project of nation building.” This fi t in with the tone of his remarks in his key-note address in which he emphasized the importance of Canadians welcoming im-migrants and new arrivals into Canadian society. He said that success in the future will only come to those societies that are willing to have open public discussions on interfaith and intercultural relations. He identifi ed Canada as a country which has a tradition of such open dialogue on such matters.
Among those at the ceremony was Rev. Jim Baldwin of Goulbourn who is a Unit-ed Church minister whose church is in-volved in multicultural initiatives.
Among the highlights of the evening was a demonstration of the art of Ebru or Turkish paper marbling by Yeniay Catar. This is an art form which sees co-loured oils fl oated on a viscous solution and then carefully transferred to an ab-sorbent surface such as paper or fabric. Each print made by this technique is a unique monotype.
This method of marbling on the sur-face of a viscous mucilage is commonly referred to as “Turkish” marbling. The term “Turkish” most likely comes from the fact that many Europeans fi rst en-countered the art in Istanbul.
The Intercultural Dialogue Institute is a non-profi t organization whose purpose is to promote respect and mutual under-standing among all cultures and faiths through partnership with other commu-nities and cultural, religious and inter-religious organizations by organizing educational and cultural activities such as seminars, conferences, luncheons and cultural exchange trips.
The Intercultural Dialogue Institute has its headquarters in Toronto with chapters in various cities across Canada from Quebec through British Columbia including the chapter in Ottawa which organized this essay contest.
The mission of the Intercultural Dia-logue Institute is to promote cross-cul-tural awareness in order to attain peace and diversity among neighbours and to help establish a better society in which individuals respect and accept each other as they are.
The Intercultural Dialogue Institute aims to promote enduring interfaith and intercultural cooperation, tolerance and dialogue by sharing the differences and similarities in cultures in an effort to achieve global peace in the foreseeable future.

One of the uglier little stories of the year is the one about Air Canada deciding to keep its em-ployees out of downtown Win-nipeg. The airline, saying that “several downtown locations are susceptible to crimes of vio-lence and opportunity,” decided that its employees would over-night at hotels near the airport.So much for supporting a city that has supported Air Canada over the years.
For Winnipeggers that was nasty enough, considering that the city has a crime rate below many well-known U.S. cities Air Canada visits, but the really nasty part was to come. That was the bit in the company email about instances of public intoxication being connected to “approximately 1,000 displaced people from rural Manitoba.” Winnipeg people knew what that meant: it meant native people forced from their homes by fl ooding. As if that was not enough, now they don’t get a chance to associate with Air Canada pilots. Air Canada has
apologized in a classic example of the non-apology apology.
“It appears that certain inferences are being drawn from the contents of a recent internal bulletin relating to accommodation for fl ight crews on overnight layover in Win-nipeg,” said a corporate email. “Air Canada wishes to state categorically it had no intent to cause offence to any individual or group and apologizes if it inadvertently did so.” In other words, we didn’t do it, but we’re sorry if you think so.
The story can be viewed on many levels, such as the economic one, where a city is trying desperately to rebuild its downtown and succeeding little by little when a big company kicks it in the teeth.
The Winnipeg Free Press tried to have a little fun with the story, asking its readers wheth-er they would recommend a downtown hotel to out-of-town friends. Almost 10,000 of them replied. A third of them said downtown was unsafe and their friends should stay at a suburban hotel. The state-ment “There’s some nice hotels downtown, but stay inside after dark,” was supported by a larger group, 38 per cent, and 29 per cent said downtown is fun: let’s have a night on the town.
When you take into consid-eration that the suburbs of any big city, including Ottawa, contain people who are afraid to go downtown and never do, it seems that the majority of Winnipeggers are not unduly alarmed. Maybe that’s because they know that there’s more harm can come to you inside the hotel than out — room ser-vice, mini-bars, ironing boards that fall out of the closet, not to mention overly enthusiastic folks in the hotel bar who don’t
happen to be displaced people from rural Manitoba.
On a somewhat more seri-ous level, it’s possible to see Winnipeg as the front line in a struggle between cities and corporations. What if more big companies decide to keep their travelling employees at the airport inn, rather than allow-ing them to go downtown? What if the practice spreads to more cities than Winnipeg? It could happen. There are places in Ottawa you wouldn’t want to go to late at night with your pilot’s uniform on. What can the fi ght back?
The obvious answer is to launch elaborate public rela-tions campaigns on how safe their downtowns are. But such
campaigns will inevitably fail. All it takes is one well-publi-cized mugging to blot the city’s reputation. Maybe, instead, the answer is to be proactive. This would involve taking a vote at city council meetings to decide which big companies are wel-come downtown. The rest have to stay at the airport. If they want to come downtown, let them beg. Or pay. Think of the revenue potential.
The effect will be to make downtown more attractive, be-cause it is forbidden. True, bar and restaurant owners might object at fi rst, but eventually, visitors will fl ock to downtown because they know they are in no danger of being accosted by Air Canada vice-presidents.
EDITORIAL
Just tired of caring?
COLUMN
Whatever you do, don’t go downtown
The weather was sunny. The date was set years ago. Advance polling options were more nu-merous than ever.
And still, voter turnout in Ontario on Oct. 6 hit an all-time low.
Apathy, that most heinous of political sins, abounded in On-tario.
Dalton McGuinty narrowly missed a majority re-election and will have to settle for a 53-seat minority government.
But with less than half of eli-gible voters marking an “X,” we have to wonder if his govern-ment really represents the will of the electorate.
McGuinty’s Liberals picked up 37.62 per cent of the popular vote.
But since only about fi ve mil-lion voters hit the polls, only about 22 per cent of the approxi-mately 8.5 million eligible voters favoured a Liberal government.
Offi cially, the turnout record-ed on Oct. 6 was 49.2 per cent.
That was down from the previ-ous all-time low, which was set in – wait for it – 2007, during the last provincial election.
There was one bright light in this apathetic mess.
Improved advance polling and other options to make casting a ballot more accessible were suc-cessful: 650,000 Ontarians voted before election day.
At least Ontario is still doing better than the Northwest Ter-ritories, where 35 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in a
recent election. But Manitoba’s general elec-
tion last week yielded 57 per cent turnout. PEI had an astounding 76 per cent turnout – and that was low for the Maritime prov-ince.
So what is the issue here?Are the leaders too boring?
Did the issues and platforms fail to resonate with citizens? Have people lost sight of their civic duty?
Voter turnout can be a pretty accurate measure of how much we care.
Here in Ottawa, after three elections – municipal, federal and now provincial – in less than 365 days, it’s probably safe to say that voters were simply tired of caring.

9Provincial election
MacLaren declares win ‘a great day for conservatism’SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
“We did it!” announced Pro-gressive Conservative Jack Ma-cLaren to his supporters after he was declared the winner of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills Riding on Thursday night, Oct. 6.
MacLaren took 26,805 votes, 50 per cent of the popular vote with 294 of 300 polls reporting in the Oct. 6 provincial election.
MacLaren’s supporters were confi dent as they watched the results pour in at Sixty Four Hundred Celebration Centre in Stittsville on election night.
MacLaren strolled into his election party to the tune of “We Will Rock You” by Queen. Over 200 people cheered him on in a luxurious setting of can-dlelit tables and a room lit by chandeliers.
“I think we’ve made a little bit of history,” MacLaren said during his acceptance speech. “There were a few bumps in the road but we had great people and it’s been a lot of fun always.”
“This is a great day for conser-vatism. The people of Carleton-Mississippi Mills have said yes to conservative values and con-servative philosophy.”
MacLaren beat out Liberal candidate Megan Cornell, New Democratic Party candidate Liam Duff, Green candidate Scott Simser and Family Coali-tion Party candidate Cynthia Bredfeldt.
MacLaren said he never doubted he would win.
“I think the voters have shown
us that the race wasn’t really all that tight. We have very strong support and we sensed that all through the campaign when we were knocking at doors,” he said. “We had strong support from day one.”
He said this support came from the whole community, not just rural areas, and that he he’s made more friends than ever be-fore during the campaign – not enemies.
“From the very beginning we tried to run a clean, honest campaign,” said Brad McNulty, communications director for MacLaren’s campaign. “We never mud slung, we never cut down the other candidates. We wanted it to be about policy and ideas and I think we did that.”
MacLaren takes over the rid-ing, known as a stronghold for the federal and provincial To-ries, from 34-year veteran MPP Norm Sterling.
He defeated Sterling in a bitter nomination battle last spring.
“What a ride,” said Shirley Dolan, a team leader of Ma-cLaren’s campaign, referring to complications and challenges the campaign faced. “This cam-paign has given new meaning to the expression, ‘When the going gets tough, the tough get going’.”
Duff celebrated at Tommy’s Restaurant and Bar in Kanata, and said he was happy with the election results.
“We did a great job, we’ve moved up a lot since the last pro-vincial election,” he said. “It’s a step in the right direction. We’re
only moving forward after this one.”
The next step for Duff is to hunker down and fi nish school at the University of Ottawa, but he said he will be around for the next election.
At MacLaren’s victory party, his many supporters seemed to spend as much time huddled around the buffet table as the television while the numbers came in.
George Kozlovski from West Carleton was there to show his support for MacLaren.
“Hopefully he will do a little more than Norm Sterling did,” he said. “He (Sterling) was non-existent in the community; that
was the biggest problem. If he would have been existent in the area, he wouldn’t have been cut out.”
Annette Bows, also from West Carleton, said she was at the party for one reason.
“We’re gonna watch Jack win,” she said long before the results were in. “Traditionally, it’s always been a Conserva-tive riding, and I can’t see that changing. I certainly hope it doesn’t.”
The youngest supporters of the evening were siblings 15-month-old Austin, and two-year-old Hannah Lilly.
As for their political affi lia-tion, their father Tom Lilly said,
“Well, they are wearing blue I guess,” referring to their match-ing denim jackets.
Lilly said that the kids would be up past their bedtime, “but they’re pretty good partiers.”
During the election cam-paign, MacLaren promised to fi ght government interference with small businesses and cut red tape.
He said a Tory government will reduce the “regulatory bur-den” at Queen’s Park by 30 per cent.
MacLaren, a 62-year-old resi-dent of MacLaren’s Landing and a farmer in West Carleton, holds a bachelor of science in civil engineering from Queen’s University.
He is a past president of the Ontario Landowners Associa-tion and the Carleton Landown-ers Association as well as a director of the region’s Federa-tion of Agriculture.
Carleton-Mississippi Mills is a provincial riding created in 2007 using 58 per cent of La-nark-Carleton and 18 per cent of Nepean-Carleton. The riding in-cludes the town of Mississippi Mills, West Carleton, Kanata, Stittsville and Goulbourn.
The affl uent eastern Ontario riding has a big manufacturing centre, including a cluster of high tech companies in Kanata. It is known as a bedroom com-munity for federal civil servants in an area where the average household income is $102,188 (data from 2007).

BLAIR EDWARDS
Liberal candidate Megan Cor-nell put on a brave face after los-ing to Progressive Conservative Jack MacLaren in the Carleton Mississippi Mills riding.
“We have a Liberal govern-ment in Ottawa!” she told a crowd of more than 30 people during her concession speech at Papa Sam’s, a Briarbrook restaurant, on Thursday night, Oct. 6.
Ottawa will send a number of Liberal MPPs to Queen’s Park, including Premier Dalton Mc-Guinty, Phil McNeely, Bob Chi-arelli and Yasir Naqvi, she said.
Cornell fi nished second in the riding with 16,861 votes (34.8 per cent), up from 2007 when she registered 16,776 votes (31.9 per cent) in the provincial election.
New Democratic Party candi-date Liam Duff fi nished third with 5,765 votes (11.9 per cent), followed by Green Party can-didate Scott Simser, who took home 1,641 votes (3.4 per cent.
Cynthia Bredfeldt, from the Family Coalition Party, took 484 votes (1 per cent).
Cornell said she detected an appetite for change during the campaign.
“We ran such a positive cam-paign, and I have absolutely no regrets of how things went,” Cornell said.
“There was perhaps a feeling for change here by having an incumbent gone, but unfortu-nately that change was directed at the party and not the individ-ual,” she added.
Carleton-Mississippi Mills has long been known as a strong-hold for provincial and federal Tories, but the Liberals hoped to draw support from disaffect-ed Tories following the ouster of 34-year veteran MPP Norm Sterling by MacLaren during a bitter nomination battle last spring.
She was endorsed by Matt Muirhead, the former executive director of the Progressive Con-servative riding association, who said MacLaren represented
a right-wing “Tea Party” faction that had taken over the riding association.
Cornell accused MacLaren of being a right-wing Conservative who campaigned solely on the provincial party platform, not speaking to issues within the riding.
“Every time I spoke I was talking about local issues,” said Cornell. “He only talked about the Conservative Party plat-form.”
Her campaign promised to bring a health hub to Kanata, reduce overcrowding in schools and revive the high-tech sector.
Cornell promised to keep working on those issues – just not as MPP.
“So cut me a little a slack if it takes a little longer to fi x high-tech in this riding,” she said.
The 37-year-old Kanata Lakes woman said she planned to re-sume her work with the Kanata Chamber of Commerce and other community groups, which she stepped down from when she declared her candidacy.
“I’ll have to ask people to re-appoint me to the roles I had,” she said.
Cornell said she didn’t know if she would run again in the next provincial election.
Liberal candidate has no regrets about campaign

Mystery writer at librarySPECIAL TO THE NEWS
One of Canada’s top mystery writers is coming to Stittsville.
R.J. (Robin) Harlick, au-thor of the acclaimed Meg Harris mysteries, will be presenting a workshop on the process of writing fi ction at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Pub-lic Library on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at 1:30 p.m.
This “Making Your Sto-ries Come Alive” work-shop will no doubt refl ect some of the fi ction writ-ing procedures that she herself employs in her
writing.After over 25 years in
the computer industry, R.J. turned her attention to writing, fi nding that pursuing killers by pen is more fun than chasing computer bugs. She lives in Ottawa, but has a log cabin in West Quebec where the Meg Harris mystery sto-ries are set. Indeed, in her Meg Harris books, the wil-derness setting plays al-most as large a role as the main character, Meg Har-ris, who is is a woman who has fl ed the big city and is helped to create a new life by her new friends on the
Migiskin Reserve. R.J. Harlick’s Meg Har-
ris mystery books have included Death’s Golden Whisper, 2004; Red Ice for a Shroud, 2006; The River Runs Orange, 2008; Arctic Blue Death, 2009; and A Green Place for Dying, to be released this coming February. Registration is required for attendance at this workshop being presented by R.J. Harlick. This can be done online through the Ottawa Public Library website, by phone to the Stittsville library branch or in person at the Stittsville library.

Spare Parts teamsecond in province
JOHN CURRY
The Spare Parts team did it.This fundraising team captained by
Craig Dunbar of Stittsville was the top fundraising team in the recent Give the Gift of Life Walk for the Kidney Founda-tion, raising a total of $13,997.74. This was a little over $200 more than the second place team from the Ottawa Hospital.
Province wide, the Spare Parts total fi nished a close second, topped only by the University Health Network team from Toronto. A number of Give the Gift of Life Walks are held across Ontario in the month of September.
Overall, the Ottawa Walk raised a total of $53,837.72 for Kidney Foundation.
Craig, who is a volunteer fi refi ghter in Stittsville and who suffers from kidney disease, acknowledges that his team’s fundraising efforts could not have been as successful as they were this year without the support of the community of Stitts-ville. He is most appreciative of this sup-port from the community.
He would like to particularly point out several supporters who went beyond nor-mal expectations in lending support to his team’s fundraising efforts.
Jason Talbot of TNT Tile and Marble and Diane Boyd of Hair Expressions both allowed the team to set up donation jars at their businesses. They also both donat-ed themselves.
Stittsville Sobeys owner Tim LaPlante and demo coordinator Marc Seguin not only provided a venue for a fundraising car wash by the team but also donated all
of the food and drinks for the barbeque which ran in conjunction with the car wash.
All of this support went towards a most successful fundraising effort for the Give the Gift of Life Walk for the Kidney Foun-dation which took place at Andrew Hay-don Park in Nepean on Sunday, Sept. 25. Mr. Dunbar was the Kidney Foundation’s Ambassador for this year’s walk.
Craig’s battle with kidney disease be-gan in May, 2007 when the newly married husband was about to embark on a career in facilities management.
However, a sprained ankle sustained playing softball led to a diagnosis of kid-ney failure. He suffered acute renal fail-ure with no clear reason for the cause. A biopsy on his kidneys revealed not only that Craig suffered from IGA Nephropa-thy but that his kidneys were damaged beyond repair. He has now gone through four years of living with kidney disease and he remains positive as he awaits a kidney transplant.
While his kidney disease has limited his active duty as a volunteer fi refi ghter in Stittsville, he has remained active on the public education side of things such as helping to conduct station tours and being involved in training.
Craig, who works as a volunteer with the Kidney Foundation, remains on di-alysis while awaiting a transplant. Both he and his wife Heather are trained in the procedure for dialysis which involves daily dialysis at home.
Kidney disease can strike anyone at any age. An estimated 2.6 million Canadi-ans have kidney disease or are at risk.

Bina Mirza’s paintingsfeature texture, colour
JOHN CURRY
The paintings of artist Bina Mirza must be seen to be truly appreciated. And there is no bet-ter place to do this than to drop into the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library this month and see a selection of six of her paintings on display on the Art Space wall.
Ms. Mirza’s paintings are unique in that in them she merges sculptural relief with oil and acrylic painting, creating a three dimensional effect. She uses elements such as cheese-cloth, millet, wood sticks and burlap applied to either canvas or wood to create the sculptural relief or texture that she then enhances with brilliant hues to produce her unique artwork.
Indeed, Ms. Mirza herself will tell you that she loves texture. Her collage style of painting al-lows her to create three dimen-sional representations using both texture and colour as their principal elements. Under her guidance, an otherwise fl at sur-face comes to life thanks to the sculptural relief that she adds to her paintings.
But besides texture, she adds colour to her paintings, using brilliant hues to give an emo-tional aspect to her work.
“Texture and colour are the principal elements emphasized
throughout my work that enable me to make an otherwise fl at sur-face come to life,” she writes on her website at www.bina.ca. “By exploring various textural com-ponents through collage, I have been able to bring a depth to the canvas that is truly unique,” she adds.
She focuses on landscapes in the belief that the environment shapes people’s understanding and perceptions. She tries to integrate nature into her art so that her work becomes a win-dow to the world around us.
She fi rst draws the scene that she is going to paint and then applies the appropriate texture elements, be they millet, cheese-cloth or some other material that provides relief to the surface. She then proceeds to paint the scene, now using mostly acryl-ics, although she still incorpo-rates some oils but by using oil sticks rather than brushes.
On display currently until the end of October at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library are six of her pieces: Riverbend, a river scene; Sugar Shack, depicting the boiling of sap to create maple syrup in a springtime scene; Cliff Face, a mountain landscape; Corn Field, showing a farm scene; Grand Canal, Venice, whose ti-tle portrays the scene depicted; and All that Matters, Argentina, showing a white church sitting
in a mountain scene in Argen-tina, inspired by a visit there last year.
Her art on display at the Stitts-ville library ranges in price from $750 to $1,700 per piece.
Bina Mirza studied fi ne arts at the Ontario College of Art. She then went on to earn a diploma in interior design at Sheridan College, thinking this might be a fi eld where employment would reign. But art is her love and that is now her focus.
Ms. Mirza has had solo exhi-bitions at the Rothwell Gallery and at Gallery 7A in Ottawa. She has also participated in numer-ous juried exhibitions such as the Red Trillium Studio Tour, at the Cube Gallery in Ottawa, at the Muskoka Arts and Crafts Summer Show in Bracebridge, and at the Kanata Civic Art Gal-lery. She has also exhibited in various group shows such as the Art and Garden Fair in Ottawa, at the Rainbow Ridge Studio in Shelburne, at Cameron House in Ottawa and at the Kanata Art Club.
She is currently a member of the West Carleton Arts Society and exhibited in the Society’s “Expressions of Art 2011” show at the Carp Agricultural Hall in Carp last weekend. The West Carleton Arts Society has been supporting the work of visual artists in the west Ottawa region for over 20 years.

A lot more than a fitness gym
One week they were the starting point for the Terry Fox Run and the next week they hosted their grand re-open-
ing - one was a 15-year tradition the other – well a celebration.
“We’re a club that people belong to and not just a gym that people go to,” says Richard Swift, co-owner and Kanata native.
It may seem like a subtle diff erence, but it’s one that members are acutely aware of, and appreciate.
“It’s a community rather than a gym, there’s a neighborly community atmosphere and the structure is friendly, professional and aff ord-able,” says Cathy Harris, a member of at least 15 years.
Peggy Aubrey the club membership manager has been with the club almost from its incep-tion and she instills that strong community centre feel in the newer staff members while
providing continuity for long standing mem-bers.
“She knows all the members, when they go on holiday and when their kids started school,” says Swift.
Th e new owners Swift and Tim Gadde, both fi tness enthusiasts (Swift is an avid squash player, Tim a certifi ed Personal Trainer) are happily breathing new life into the old club while carefully preserving its community
roots. An eclectic membership, with fi tness enthusiasts from every walk of life and in every age group, go a long way to maintaining that neighborhood feel. Bringing a friend to the club is also made easy with the variety of pack-ages the club off ers.
Th e Canadian has the added attraction of having the only squash courts west of the Greenbelt and off ers a squash ladder, seniors round robins and squash lessons for adults
and youth. Th e club also fi elds teams in the Ottawa District Squash Association’s Open City League.
“I wouldn’t hesitate to call it a fi rst class squash facility,” says Paul Hough, a 16 year member and squash enthusiast.
Squash and atmosphere aside, Th e Canadian is a complete fi tness facility with free weights, resistence machines, a cardio studio and a large Fitness Studio with a cushioned hard-wood fl oor that protects members from un-necessary stress-related injuries that can occur during a hard workout. It has a full schedule of fi tness classes including bootcamps, cardio workouts, yoga, pilates and spinning and quite a few unusual combination as well.
“If you’re in for fi tness, rehab after an injury or accident or you’re a high performance ath-lete, the Canadian will meet and exceed your needs,” says Mark Pankow, a 10-year member.
Other amenities at the club include the Pura Vida Bistro that serves smoothies, supple-ments and light meals prepared by hand from fresh ingredients on the premises; a registered massage therapist, nutritionist and personal trainers.

Remembrance, Christmas for Male ChorusJOHN CURRY
Remembrance and Christmas performances are both on the agenda for the Goulbourn Male Cho-rus this fall.
The Male Chorus, which has now grown to 18 voic-es in this, only its second year of existence, will be singing at Stittsville’s an-nual Remembrance Day service on Friday, Nov. 11
at the cenotaph in front of the Johnny Leroux Com-munity Arena (formerly the Stittsville District Community Centre).
This will be right after the Male Chorus has sung at the Remembrance wor-ship service at St. Thomas The Apostle Anglican Church in Stittsville on Sunday, Nov. 6.
The Goulbourn Male Chorus is presenting two Christmas concerts this
year, one in Stittsville and one in Richmond.
On Sunday, Dec. 11, the Male Chorus will be pre-senting a Christmas con-cert at St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond.
Guest soloist at this con-cert will be Sylvia Wallace of Richmond.
This Christmas concert in Richmond will be fol-lowed by a Christmas con-cert the next Sunday, Dec. 18 at Holy Spirit Catholic
Church in Stittsville. At this concert, the Male
Chorus will be joined by guest performers the Trin-ity Hilltop Handbell Ring-ers from Trinity Presby-terian Church in Kanata, the Children’s Chorus from St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville, and the Ladies Yuletide Sing-ers, a group of ladies from the Goulbourn area.
A highlight of the con-cert will be massed perfor-
mance by the Male Chorus and all of these guest per-formers in the singing of the English carol “Once In Royal David’s City.” This Christmas carol, original-ly published in 1848, deals with aspects of the nativ-ity story.
Robert Dueck of Stitts-ville is the director of the Goulbourn Male Chorus. He can be contacted at 613-836-1824 or via email at [email protected].
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Wanted – female singers.These singers, who are being called
the “Yuletide Ladies Chorus,” are needed to be part of a massed choir that will be singing the famous English Christmas carol “Once in Royal David’s City” at the Christmas concert being held by the Goul-bourn Male Chorus on Sunday, Dec. 18 at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Stittsville. The plan is to open and close the concert with a massed choir number that will include these female singers as well as a children’s choir, a handbell choir and, of course, the Goulbourn Male Chorus.
The Male Chorus, the handbell choir and the children’s chorus are all account-ed for. The only missing piece is a group of female singers, hopefully as many as 20 to balance their sound with the 18 voic-es of the Male Chorus.
Robert Dueck, director of the Male Chorus, is inviting ladies familiar with singing soprano, alto and/or tenor to join this “Yuletide Ladies Chorus,” which will be participating in the singing of this one selection at the concert, namely “Once in Royal David’s City,” It will be sung both opening and also closing the concert.
Anyone who is interested in being part
of this one-time, one-carol singing experi-ence should contact Mr. Dueck at 613-836-1824 to obtain a copy of the music along with a rehearsal CD.
There will be two rehearsals held for the “Yuletide Ladies Chorus” in prepara-tion for the Dec. 18 concert. There may also be a joint rehearsal with the Goul-bourn Male Chorus and the children’s chorus as well as a dress rehearsal the day before the concert.
The words of the carol “Once in Royal David’s City” were written by Mrs. C.F. Alexander in the 19th century. The carol makes wonderful use of the English lan-guage to paint a picture of the events of the nativity.
Mrs. Alexander wrote many poems for children, chiefl y on religious subjects. She was the wife of the bishop of Derry.
The music for “Once in Royal David’s City” was composed by H.J. Gauntlett. The carol is believed to have fi rst been published in the early 19th century.
Beginning in 1918, King’s College in Cambridge has used this carol for the processional in its Festival of Nine Les-sons and Carols on Christmas Eve. Tra-ditionally it is begun with a boy soprano soloist singing the fi rst verse, followed then by the rest of the choir.

Editor:Where have the Poole Creek wetlands
gone?Twenty-fi ve years ago my father walked
the “wetlands” from Hazeldean Road to the railway tracks. There was no water – it was completely dry. He mentioned that he had never seen this before. It is a natural occurrence – it has happened be-fore and it will happen again.
My family has owned property in the area for over 100 years. I am now one of the stewards of the Poole Creek wet-lands.
The wetlands have changed drastical-ly in the last 20 years. They were much smaller. If you stood where the pres-ent observation post is along the Trans Canada Trail and looked west, there was a rookery of blue herons within 200 me-tres. The trees were all 50 feet tall and the tops of the trees were full of blue heron nests. Unfortunately some unscrupulous developers dammed up the creek and the resultant high water level killed all the trees. When the trees fell down the rook-ery was lost.
The culvert where the creek crosses the former CPR tracks was replaced because an engineer condemned the old one. It was to be replaced by one at the same el-evation as the old one. As a teenager on many hot afternoons, I used the old cul-vert as an escape from the sun and I am sure the new one is very close to the same elevation as the old one.
If you stand on the culvert and look south, you are looking at the natural course of Poole Creek. When the develop-ers dammed up the creek, this resulted in the water following the ditch along the side of the CPR tracks. The result is that the water level has risen six feet which has made the pond much bigger than it should be. With the higher water level, all the trees along the waterway have died.
Today, if you look at the property west of Triple K Trucking on Hazeldean Road, all of the trees there are dying. The prop-erty across Hazeldean Road from Triple K Trucking used to be farmland. It is now designated “wetlands.” This is all be-cause the natural course of Poole Creek was changed.
As some of the concerned property owners who have had considerable loss of forest because of too much water, we have been trying to have the course of the creek returned to its original route.
We are not trying to drain the swamp – we are simply trying to have it returned to what it should be. Anyone can go and get the aerial photographs from 1940 and see for themselves what the land should look like. The work to return Poole Creek to its original course was supposed to be done by the end of September. It has all been approved and I do not know what the holeup is. The swamp will be smaller as a result but bigger is not necessarily better.

Youth adopt streetSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The youth of Stittsville are going to be caretakers of a stretch of Stittsville Main Street.
The Stittsville Youth Connexion Asso-ciation, which helps youth in the commu-nity organize activities and events, has now been approved under the city of Ot-tawa’s “Adopt A Road” program. As such, the organization will be responsible for cleaning up Stittsville Main Street from Abbott Street north to Hazeldean Road twice a year, namely in the spring and in the fall.
Through involvement with this munic-ipal program, the youth of Stittsville are showing a desire to maintain a safe en-
vironment, to pick up litter and garbage and to eliminate damage to city property. The youth of Stittsville are showing that they want their community to be safe and litter free and they are willing to do their part to ensure this.
Indeed, this Thursday, Oct. 13 at 3 p.m., the youth of Stittsville will be meeting at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street to undertake their fi rst “clean up” of Stittsville Main Street from Abbott Street to Hazeldean Road as part of this fall’s “Cleaning Up the Capital” campaign.
This will be the fi rst of what will be twice a year clean-up efforts by Stitts-ville’s youth along this stretch of Stitts-ville Main Street.

From Stittsville to Toronto ArgosJOHN CURRY
The Toronto Argonauts of the Ca-nadian Football League now have a framed rendition of the origin of the team’s name thanks to a collabora-tion between a Kanata resident and a Stittsville business owner.
Doug McBeth, who has lived in Kanata since 1991 but who grew up in Toronto and is a lifelong Argonauts fan, teamed up with John Whitney of Stittsville Picture Framing and Stu-dio Gallery, another Argonaut fan, to create the 34 inch by 21 ½ inch framed explanation called “The Origin of the Argonaut Name.”
Mr. McBeth travelled to Toronto last Friday to present it to Argonauts’ head coach Jim Barker. He had com-municated with the Argonauts’ public relations staff about the project and once he had emailed a photo of the professionally framed fi nished prod-uct featuring an Argo-blue matting, the Argonauts responded positively to the offer of giving it to the team.
“When they saw this, they said bring it on down,” Mr. McBeth said.
Last Friday he attended an Argo practice at Erindale College in To-ronto. With the team huddle at centre fi eld, Mr. McBeth was brought onto the fi eld, along with Argo public rela-tions person Eric Holmes and a video person.
Mr. McBeth got to present the framed project about the origin of the Argonauts name to coach Jim Barker and he admits that he was surprised
at how appreciative the team was of the presentation.
“Half the team shook my hand and thanked me and gave autographs,” he writes in an email reporting on the presentation.
The video of the presentation will probably be shown on the Argo web-site while the actual framed project will probably be hung in the Argonaut offi ce at Erindale College.
Mr. McBeth is effusive in his praise of the work done by Mr. Whitney to create the fi nished product, saying that he just provided the poem about the origin of the Argonaut name that he had written in college 25 years ago along with a couple of Argonaut logos and Mr. Whitney did the rest.
“He did a great job,” Mr. McBeth says about Mr. Whitney’s work on this project.
Mr. Whitney admits that the job took a lot of time since it has eight openings in the matting and the work is double matted, meaning that there are two steps in creating each open-ing. In addition, a v-groove provides a white accent line around the whole piece, a feature which brings the di-verse pieces of the work together.
But he is quick to note that the poem about the origin of the Argonauts’ name is all Mr. McBeth’s work.
“He is the author; I am the compos-er,” Mr. Whitney says about the proj-ect.
The Argonaut name lies in Greek mythology, specifi cally the story of Ja-son and the Argonauts and his search for the golden fl eece.
“That’s Greek mythology,” Mr. Mc-Beth says, telling how Jason wanted to fi nd the golden fl eece and so he built a boat whose crew he named the Argo-nauts. That is why the Toronto Argo-nauts’ logo of today features a boat.
Mr. McBeth notes that the Toronto Argonauts’ name is the oldest name for a sporting team in North Ameri-ca.
The framed “The Origin of the Ar-gonaut Name” features a poem telling the story of Jason and the Argonauts and the tale of the golden fl eece, writ-ten in a four line verse format cover-ing three pages.
Besides the poem and two Argonaut logos, the framed project includes windows noting that the project was donated to the Toronto Argonauts by Doug McBeth in September 2011 and that it was assembled by John Whit-ney of Stittsville Picture Framing.
Mr. McBeth thinks that the framed project featuring the story of the ori-gin of the Argonaut name will prove useful to the team since it has a lot of American players who may not be familiar with where the team names comes from.
Mr. McBeth got together with Mr. Whitney on the project after he had visited the Stittsville Picture Fram-ing shop on Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville on other busi-ness related to electrical work and en-ergy effi ciency.
He happened to mention to Mr. Whit-ney what he had in mind as a project and his fellow Argo fan jumped on board. The rest is history.
John Curry photo Doug McBeth, left, a longtime Toronto Argonaut fan and Kanata resident, and John Whitney, right, also a Toronto Argonaut fan and longtime owner of Stittsville Picture Framing in Stittsville, together hold up the framed poetic account of the origin of the Argonaut name which was done in Stittsville and has now been presented to the Toronto Argonauts team in Toronto.

(NC)—Your home’s energy costs can drain your hard-earned dollars. It’s a simple scientifi c fact: heat moves towards cold. In winter months, it’s drawn to the cold glass of windows to escape a home. Heat lost this way accounts for 10 to 25 percent of heating bills. Thankfully innovations from Hunter Douglas, Canada’s leading manufacturer of custom window fashions and a pioneer in energy effi ciency at the window, may help provide you with savings.Sue Rainville, the company’s marketing director, offers the following easy tips to make your home physically fi t for the winter cold: Weatherize – Seal up holes, weather-strip doors and insulate attic fl oors. When the fi replace is not in use, keep the damper closed tightly. Insulate – Don’t just insulate the attic. Add insulation at the window with window fashions that have high energy ratings. Duette Architella honeycomb shades provide superior energy effi ciency. They have a patented construction consisting of a honeycomb nestled within a honeycomb. This creates three honeycomb pockets to trap the air. Certain Duette Architella shades can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40 percent in winter.Improve and Maintain Your Mechanical Systems – Service and clean your gas or oil furnace at least once a year and change or clean furnace fi lters once a month during the heating season. And, invest in a programmable thermostat that lets you set temperatures for different times of the day. Studies have shown that turning the heat down from 22 to 18 degrees C (72 to 65 degrees F) for at least eight hours a day can reduce heating bills by 10 percent. The popular notion that the higher you set your heater’s thermostat, the faster your home will warm up is not true. In reality, it takes the same amount of time for the temperature to reach 21 degrees C (70 degrees
F)) whether the thermostat is set at 21 or 32 degrees (70 or 90 F). Setting the thermostat all the way up only increases your heating costs. Also, remove air-conditioning units in the fall and winter because they invite drafts. Or, use an insulated jacket on the exterior. Watch Your Windows – In winter, on the rare sunny day, open your window coverings to let in the solar heat, but be sure to close them at night. Hunter Douglas makes a solar energy sensor that can be mounted directly to the window pane to control motorized window fashions. In ‘winter’ mode, the sensor raises shades at the appropriate instance to allow solar energy into the room for warmth. Keep the Air Circulating – In winter, don’t block fl oor registers, baseboards or radiators with rugs, furniture or other items. If you have ceiling fans with a reverse setting, turn them on low and reverse when using a lot of heat. Warm air rises and often gets trapped near the ceiling; the reverse air fl ow from the fan will help circulate the warm air around the entire room.
Remember, a physically fi t home is the best way to keep those energybills in check. More information is available online at www.hunterdouglas.ca or toll-free at 1-800-265-8000.www.newscanada.com
Make your home “physically fi t” and reduce energy costs
Add insulation at the window with window fashions that have high energy ratings, such as the Duette Architella honeycomb shades from Hunter Douglas used on the windows above in combination with a sheer Duette fabric for optimal light control.

If you’re Irish, take note!SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
If you have Irish ancestors, particular-ly ones who came to Canada in the 1800’s, you should attend the October meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Soci-ety.
At this meeting on Saturday, Oct. 15, you will get a glimpse of what life was like in Ireland before the Irish emigration of the early 1800’s. This could include your ancestors and, indeed, may give you some insights as to why and when your ances-tors emigrated from their Irish home-land.
Guest speaker at this Historical Society meeting will be Roger Thomas, a mem-ber of the Huntley Township Historical Society, who will be speaking on “Life in Ireland before immigration in the early
1800’s.” His presentation will concentrate on the life of the farmer and farm labour-er in Ireland who eventually ended up emigrating to Canada, the United States and Australia, among other places.
Mr. Thomas has done extensive read-ing on the subject and has travelled to the United Kingdom where he has visited folk museums and historic sites with rel-evance to living conditions and emigra-tion in the 1800’s. Mr. Thomas’ talk will be profusely illustrated.
This October meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society will begin at 1:30 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 15 in the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Everyone is welcome to attend, whether a member of the Historical Society or not.
Refreshments will be served.

Recreation programs goingfrom cameras to fi tnessJOHN CURRY
Having a tough time understanding that digital camera that you have? Do you want to improve your photogra-phy skills? Well, we have the answer for you.
You should enroll in the new digi-tal photograph SLR camera program that is being offered in Stittsville this fall thanks to the city of Ottawa’s ru-ral recreation unit that provides rec-reation programming in the city’s smaller recreation facilities in Stitts-ville such as the Fringewood Commu-nity Centre, the Pretty Street Commu-nity Centre and the hall at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena (formerly the Stittsville District Community Centre).
This rural recreation unit also pro-vides programming in Richmond, Munster and Ashton as well as in fa-cilities throughout West Carleton.
As for the new digital photogra-phy program, it is being held at the Fringewood Community Centre with instructor Doug Brittain, starting on Thursday, Oct. 20. It will run through to Thursday, Dec. 8 and is open to any-one from 19 years of age and up. Regis-tration fee for the program is $140 per person, with the course running from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
This digital photography program will be an introduction in how to use a digital SLR (single lens refl ex) cam-era. Those enrolled will learn basic techniques to improve photographic skills and perhaps even create some-thing of a “wow” factor in the photos taken.
But this digital photography pro-gram is just one of a number of new programs being offered in Stittsville to add to some of the many programs that take place regularly in Stittsville.
A strong bones program is being of-fered for those 50 plus at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall on Fridays from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. This program has already begun but there is still room for more. The program runs through to Friday, Nov. 25 and then will run again starting in Janu-ary. Registration fee is only $55 per person.
In this strong bones program, the exercises are designed to allow a per-son to strengthen the bones and build bone mass.
This program emerged from a pilot project that was undertaken in West Carleton. It is particularly good for those who have osteoporosis or who want to prevent it. The program is also being offered at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall in Richmond on Mondays.
Another program along these same lines is a low to mid-level low impact aerobics class for those aged 50 plus. This program, designed for partici-pants 50 years of age and over, in-
cludes muscle toning and fl exibility exercises. The program, held at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall on Wednesdays from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., is already underway but there is still room for more. Registra-tion cost is $55 per person. The pro-gram will also be offered again start-ing in January.
The city of Ottawa no longer prints a comprehensive recreation program guide as a result of a “green” initia-tive. However, information about the programs available through the ru-ral recreation unit can be obtained by emailing [email protected], by visiting www.ottawa.ca/rural-west or by calling one of the staff di-rectly: Mary Lou Davidson, program coordinator for Stittsville, at 613-580-2424, ext. 33271, or Kyla Washington, program coordinator for Goulbourn (Richmond, Munster and Ashton) at 613-580-2424, ext. 33230.
One of the more interesting pro-grams being offered is dancercise, a dance oriented fi tness class choreo-graphed to all types of music. You can dance through the decades to unforget-table music. It is really doing exercise by dancing and there is no require-ment to be a good dancer. It is just a chance to have fun, move with the beat and, as a by-product, exercise.
This dancercise program is offered at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall on Mondays from 6:15 p.m. to 7:15 p.m., with those aged 19 and up welcome. The program begins on Monday, Oct. 17 and runs through to Monday, Dec. 12. It will also be offered starting in February.
Some of the other programs being offered for adults include geocaching (an outdoor game where people try to fi nd hidden containers using only latitude and longitude with searching techniques and hand held GPS units) at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena; Drums Alive (traditional aero-bic exercise to the pulsating rhythms of drumming using a stability ball) at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall; Eat/Play/Laugh (discover super foods to incorporate into your diet while enjoying treasure hunts, hiking, walking dancing, stretching and other fun ways of getting fi t) at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall; From Survivor to Thrivor (women recover-ing from breast cancer will restore mo-bility with exercises designed to keep the lymphatic and cardiovascular sys-tem helthy and the bones strong) at the Johnny Leroux Community Are-na hall; Pilates and Yoga, two fi tness workouts in one, offered at the Goul-bourn Town Hall (former municipal building) as well as at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall; Pi-lates Core Stability (strengthening the body’s core muscles and increasing fl exibility) at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall; Rock Bottom (a new program to strengthen legs and
the body core using innovative train-ing methods) at the Richmond Memo-rial Community Centre hall; Stretch and Strength & Hearts (muscle toning and strengthening along with stretch-ing) at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall; Strollercize (exploring the paths in and around the community, combining speed walking and jog-ging with stretching and exercising, with participants providing their own stroller, an exercise blanket, water bottle and comfortable athletic wear) at the Richmond Memorial Commu-nity Centre hall and at the Johnny Le-roux Community Arena; Tai Chi, Lev-el 1 (tone and strengthen your body with slow, graceful movements) at the Fringewood Community Centre; total Body Boot Camp (a tough condition-ing session using drills that many Olympic athletes do) at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall; Zumba (cardio fi tness class with a fo-cus on fun and sweating) at the John-ny Leroux Community Arena; Yoga-Hatha Flow (a classical but vigorous style of yoga emphasizing fl owing movement and breath awareness) at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall; Stretch, Meditate & Relax at the Goulbourn Town Hall; Yoga-Kripalu-Anusara (a combination of two styles of Hatha yoga) at the Goul-bourn Town Hall.
There are also programs offered in the performing arts, sports and visual arts.
Programs specifi cally for adults 50 and over include balance and stabil-ity for seniors at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall, cardio and strength for seniors at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall, low impact aerobics at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall, Nordic walk-ing at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall and strong bones at the Johnny Leroux Community Arena hall and the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall.
There is also a variety of children’s recreation programs offered includ-ing Girls Rock! (building self-esteem through fun workshops, guest speak-ers and fi tness) at the Pretty Street Community Centre; Bricks ‘n Blocks Club (building with Lego and other bricks and blocks) at the Munster Community Centre; Gotta Dance (learning a variety of dance styles) at the Munster Community Centre and the Richmond Memorial Commu-nity Centre hall; Guitar, Level 1 at the Fringewood Community Centre; Hip Hop, Level 1 (learn all the moves in this fun, energetic dance class) at the Goulbourn Town Hall; and Keyboard Group Lessons, Beginner (both practi-cal and theoretical instruction) at the Fringewood Community Centre.
There are also sports and visual arts programs offered, along with pro-grams for youth including babysitting courses.

Expect travel delays in Stittsville on Oct. 22SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
There may be delays for those travel-ling around Stittsville on Saturday, Oct. 22 but they will all be for a good, good cause.
That’s because Saturday, Oct. 22 is the day when the second annual Ottawa’s Emergency Services’ Run (9 RUN RUN) is being held.
This running event will see the clo-sure of a number of streets and roads
in the Stittsville area, starting at 7 a.m. for different lengths of time. Only Ab-bott Street east of Stittsville Main Street to Moss Hill Trail at Sacred Heart High School will be closed for the duration of the event, that is, from 7 a.m. to approxi-mately 1 p.m.
Streets and roads which will see clo-sure for the 9 RUN RUN event are Abbott Street, Stittsville Main Street, Flewellyn Road, Munster Road, Fernbank Road and Jinkinson Road.
These streets and roads are being closed because they will be part of the route for some of the running events.
The 9 RUN RUN event this year will have individuals, families and friends running or walking in one of three dif-ferent events – a half marathon, a 10K Run and a 3 K Family Fun Walk/Run.
Last year, the inaugural 9 RUN RUN raised $16,911.10 which went to the youth substance abuse program.
This year the proceeds from the 9 RUN
RUN event are going to the Royal Ottawa Hospital’s Youth Mental Health Aware-ness Study and Early Intervention Re-search Project which will be conducted in schools across the region.
This project, conducted by the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in collabo-ration with local school boards, is meant to get youth talking about mental health while also serving to begin reducing the stigma that is usually associated with mental illness.
Sea Hawks’ cheeringSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Cheering could be heard at the pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Friday.

The meet gives a chance for the experienced Sea Hawks swimmers to have some fun racing before their fi rst big competitive swim meet while it also gives an opportunity to new members of the Sea Hawks team to experi-ence the exciting atmo-sphere that surrounds a swim meet.
The Sea Hawks senior swimmers showed great leadership at this swim meet, helping the new
swimmers prepare for their races and cheer-ing them on while racing from one end of the pool to the other. This was the source of the cheering which was heard that late afternoon.
The Goulbourn Sea Hawks is a competitive swim club that is based at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool.
A number of its swim-mers are provincially ranked and some went to this year’s nationals in Calgary.

Thefts from vehiclesSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
There was a rash of thefts from vehi-cles in Munster recently.
It all happened sometime overnight on a recent Wednesday night, with the in-cidents happening on Coldstream Drive and Coolbrook Crescent.
A wallet containing credit cards and personal identifi cation was stolen from a vehicle. While the vehicle was believed to be locked at the time, there was no sign of forced entry into the vehicle.
Some of the personal identifi cation and credit cards were later found by a neighbour and returned to the owner.
A satellite radio was stolen from a ve-hicle on Coldstream Drive. The owner told Ottawa Police Service that the ve-hicle was locked although there was no sign of forced entry.
About $10 in change was stolen from a vehicle on Coolbrook Drescent in Mun-ster.
The thief rummaged through the ve-hicle but did not take items such as a bat-tery operated tire compressor, CD’s and a pair of sunglasses.
A pack of chewing gum and a brand new pair of boy’s shorts were stolen from an unlocked vehicle on Coolbrook Crescent.
Haunting Season at Saunders FarmSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Saunders Farm at Mun-ster is marking 20 years for its Haunting Season this year.
The Farm’s mazes are open during the day, along with spooky things that are highlighting the 20th haunting season there.
After dark, the mazes close but the Stalkers Field is open. What lurks in this haunted corn fi eld?
Saunders Farm is a
great place for young-sters of all ages at this Halloween time of year. There are milder scares in the daytime when all of the Farm’s regular fam-ily friendly attractions are also open. Bigger frights emerge at night after the sun goes down. More in-formation about hours and admission prices are available at www.saun-dersfarm.com. Saunders Farm has welcomed thou-sands of families during
its 20 years of offering its haunting season. Started as a strawberry farm in 1976 by Anne and bill Saunders and their four young children, Saunders Farm has now grown into one of Canada’s premier farm adventure destina-tions. Twenty years of fun during haunting season in October has added to the Farm’s reputation. It is a must-see place to visit in the days leading up to Hal-loween.
Art, craft saleat Museum
SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Paintings. Drawings. Textiles. Jewellery. Beauty products. These will be among the work of local artists that will be featured at a “Uniquely Goulbourn” art and craft sale at the Goulbourn Museum this Sunday, Oct. 16.
The event, curated by Sheila Cain-Sample, will see artists showcasing their work both in the Museum as well as outside on the grounds from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome to at-tend and enjoy these creations by local Goulbourn artists.
Or, if knitting is your interest, you can take advantage of drop-ping into a meeting of the Goul-bourn Museum’s knitting circle “Yap & Yarn” which will be held in the adjacent History Centre
that afternoon. Indeed, you can even bring along a knitting proj-ect and join in the circle’s activi-ties if you wish.
The Goulbourn Museum is lo-cated at 2064 Huntley Road just south of Stittsville at Stanley’s Corners. Huntley Road is the southward extension of Stitts-ville Main Street, so if you are coming from Stittsville, just stay on Stittsville Main Street until you come to the fl ashing light and four way stop at Stanley’s Corners. The Museum is right there on the right.
For more information about this upcoming fall art and craft sale or about the knitting cir-cle “Yap & Yarn” or about the Goulbourn Museum in general, please visit www.goulbournmu-seum.ca or call 613-831-2393.
Art show and sale coming upSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The name says it all – “Colours of Cancer.”It is an art show and sale featuring the colour-
ful work of up to 25 local artists, with funds raised supporting the Irving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.
This “Colours of Cancer” art show and sale will be held on Sunday, Oct. 23 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the St. John’s Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street in Richmond.
During the event, there will be a silent auction, running from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., with the proceeds going to support the Irving Greenberg Family
Cancer Centre.Admission to the art show and sale itself is
free, so it is a great opportunity to view the work of artists from Richmond and area.
Kat McClure, president of the Richmond Vil-lage Art Club, which is hosting the art show and sale, says club members want to support the Ir-ving Greenberg Family Cancer Centre since al-most everyone has a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with cancer.
The Richmond Village Art Club, which was formed a year ago, attracts members who are in-terested in meeting together to explore new tech-niques in their art.

Test your well waterSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The annual fall well water testing blitz is coming up.
In this free blitz, Ottawa Public Health, working in partnership with local businesses, is making well water testing convenient and easy by setting up water sample drop-off stations in the community. Residents who have wells can simply drop off a water sam-ple at one of the locations and Ottawa Public Health will deliver the sample to the provincial public health laboratory where the sample will be tested for two types of bacteria: total coliforms and E.coli.
The water samples must be collected in special sample bottles supplied by the laboratory. Sample bottles can be picked up at any of the drop off loca-tions.
The drop off locations and dates of the water sample blitz are the Goul-bourn Town Hall at Stanley’s Corners, 8 a.m. to noon on Monday, Oct. 17; and Mac’s in Munster, 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Ashton General Store in Ashton, 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and the Richmond Memo-rial Community Centre (arena) in Rich-mond, 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., all on Tuesday, Oct. 18.
Since water quality in a well can change, Ottawa Public Health recom-mends testing well water at least three
times over the course of a year as well as after a heavy rain, after fl ooding, af-ter any work on the well or septic sys-tem or if someone in the family devel-ops stomach symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting.
Drinking water that has bacteria and other micro-organisms in it can cause serious illnesses. The only way to en-sure safe drinking water is to have it tested regularly.
Coliform bacteria come from both the intestines of animals and from the environment, such as through rain wa-ter runoff.
E.coli bacteria are found only in the intestines of people and animals.
When either coliform or E.coli bacte-ria is reported in a well water sample, it means that the well or underground water supply feeding it is polluted.
These bacteria indicate that other disease-causing organisms such as Salmonella and Shigella could also be present.
Bacteria can get into a well through cracks and unsealed joints if the well is not built to current safe standards or if the well is showing signs of age.
For more information about how to keep well water safe, please visit Otta-wa.ca or speak with a public health in-spector at 613-580-6744 or with Rideau-Goulbourn ward Public Health Nurse Janice Tughan at 613-580-6744.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The colder weather is coming and there’s noth-ing like curling up with a good book on a frosty late fall or winter’s night. So one place that you should make a point of being at is the upcoming sale of used books being held by “A Good Read,” the used
book store at the Stitts-ville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.
This sale of used books will be held on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the library branch on Stittsville Main Street. There will be a wide se-lection of books and the prices can’t be beat.
All of the books at the

Children’s books will see two of the regu-lar 25 cent books going for just 25 cents in total. A 50 cent book will go for 25 cents while a $1 book will be going for 50 cents.
Sale at ‘A Good Read’Deadline extended for photo contestSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Goulbourn Township Historical Society would like to see even more en-tries in its second annual Photo Contest and so it has extended the deadline for entries until this Saturday, Oct. 15.
Friday, Sept. 30 was the initial deadline for submission of entries but the Histori-cal Society has decided that there are still lots of potential entries out there and hence a decision was made to give a little more time.
It’s easy to do. Just drop off entries at any of the three branches of the Ottawa Public Library in the area – Stittsville, Richmond and Munster. There is no en-try fee and anyone can enter – you do not have to be a member of the Historical So-ciety.
Submitted photos must be in print for-mat, no larger than 8 inches by 10 inches and must have been taken in 2011 within
the boundaries of the former Goulbourn township which includes Stittsville as well as Richmond and Munster.
Two entries per category are allowed per person. Photos from all types of cam-eras are acceptable but must be submit-ted, don’t forget, in print format.
Judge for this year’s contest will be To-bin Kennedy, who is manager of Henry’s camera shop on Hazeldean Road in Kana-ta. There are fi ve categories in this year’s contest, with the winner in each category to receive a $25 prize from the Historical Society. The “Best of the Show” photo will receive a $100 prize provided by Henry’s.
The categories in the contest are Vic-torian Goulbourn (buildings from 1837 to 1901); Generations (minimum of three); Tools of Our Ancestors; Goulbourn wa-terscapes; and Goulbourn Streetscapes, Old and New. For more information, visit the website goulbournhistoricalsociety.org and click on Photo Contest.

70 quilts by 50 quiltersin Richmond Fair’s showSPECIAL TO THE NEWS
Over 70 quilts by some 50 quil-ters made the quilt show at the recent Richmond Fair the best ever.
This was the assessment of the quilt’s committee chair Mol-ly Hartin who gives credit to the existence of local quilting guilds and shops for the large number of exceptional quilts entered in the show.
It was quite a show for quilter Lynda Smyth of Stittsville who swept a number of awards.
She won the “Viewer’s Choice” award, a new award this year in which several thousand viewers cast ballots to select the recipi-ent. It was a tight race between fi ve quilts but in the end, Lynda Smyth’s quilt “Aquarelle” was the winner. This quilt featuring hand appliquéd water lilies on a blue background not only won the “Viewer’s Choice” award but also was declared as the grand champion hand quilted quilt. It took over 2000 hours to complete the work on this award-winning quilt.
It featured work so perfect that the judge initially did not believe
that the quilt could be quilted by hand as the work was so perfect.
Lynda Smyth also won reserve grand champion honours for a queen sized quilt patterned on the traditional grandmother’s fl ower garden.
But Lynda Smyth was not fi n-ished there. The judge also chose her wall hanging called “Autumn Spendour” for the “Judge’s Choice” award.
Joan Read of Millennium quilting in Almonte was named grand champion for her machine quilted quilt while Jan Koiste of Prospect was the reserve grand champion in this category.
Several of the original art quilts on display in the show were invited to be displayed at the Ontario Association of Agri-cultural Societies convention in Toronto.
Quilt show committee chair Molly Hartin acknowledged the hard work of the volunteers on the quilt committee. Knowing the artistic talent of quilters in the area, she is confi dent that next year’s Richmond Fair will also have a varied display of spectacular quilts and artwork, just like this year’s show.

John Curry photo Graham Smyth, right, of the South Carleton High School Storm, carrying the ball, is tackled by a gang of Mother Teresa High School Titans players in action in their tier two high school senior boys’ football game at the annual United Way Day at St. Joseph High School in Nepean South on Thursday, Oct. 6.
SCHS Storm play on United Way Day
DAN PLOUFFE AND JOHN CURRY
Clean blue skies and sunny warm weather prevailed for this year’s annual United Way Day for high school football teams. All 18 high school senior football teams were involved, playing games two at a time at the side by side fi elds at St. Joseph’s Catho-lic High School in Barrhaven.
The South Carleton High School Storm was one of the teams involved in the day’s ac-tion.
South Carleton Storm coach John Sunstrum, who is conve-nor of the high school football league, praised the day not only because funds are raised for a good cause but because the day-long action means that the event is well attended by university scouts wishing to see local high school footballers perform, all in one spot.
“It’s a great opportunity for our student athletes,” convenor Sunstrum said. “When you can do something like that and raise money for a good cause, it’s a bo-nus.”
Teams made contributions that totaled about $1,000 for the United Way. Other teams had their own fundraising initiatives on the go, such as raising funds for cancer research.
In the action, the South Car-
leton High School Storm lost 18-0 to the Mother Teresa Titans.
After a scoreless fi rst quarter, the Storm fell behind 7-0 when the Titans scored on a 20 yard pass play and then added the convert.
Near the end of the second quarter, the Titans struck again, this time on a 55 yard pass and run play, making it 13-0. A two point convert made the score 15-0 at half time.
The Storm took the opening kickoff in the second half and marched downfi eld, getting to the Mother Teresa 25 yard line before losing the ball on downs as a result of a sack on a third down gamble.
The South Carleton High School Storm now have a record of one win and two losses after three games in the high school tier two senior boys’ football league. Mother Teresa, with its United Way Day victory, ad-vanced its record to two wins and one loss after three games.
The South Carleton Storm have scored 35 points while al-lowing 78 points so far this sea-son.
After an opening game 28-27 victory over St. Pius X High School X-Men, the Storm lost 33-7 to the St. Francis Xavier High School Coyotes in a game at the Riverside South school on Fri-day, Sept. 30.

One goal games were the name of the game for the Stittsville Royals on the Thanksgiving weekend.
All three of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League games which the Royals played over the weekend were decided by one goal. Unfortunately, the Royals ended up on the losing end of two of these close contests.
On Thanksgiving Mon-day at the Goulbourn Rec-reation Complex in Stitts-ville, the Royals dropped a 2-1 decision to the visiting Perth Blue Wings.
The Royals fell behind 2-0 in the fi rst period but managed to rebound in the second period, scoring the only goal of the period to go into the third period down by a 2-1 score. The third period turned out to be scoreless, with the Blue Wings heading home to Perth with the narrow one
goal victory.Justin Mayo scored the
only goal of the game for the Royals, with Will Fras-er earning the only assist.
Matt McCaughan in the Royals’ net made 23 saves in the game.
This narrow loss came on the heels of a 3-2 vic-tory by the Royals over the visiting Shawville Ponti-acs at the Goulbourn Rec-reation Complex just 24 hours earlier on Sunday afternoon.
In this game, the Roy-als fell behind 1-0 after the fi rst period but rallied for two goals in the second period to enter the fi nal frame in a 2-2 tie with the visitors.
The Royals scored the only goal of the third pe-riod to skate away with a 3-2 victory.
Alex Hulford, Alex Mor-ton and John Welch scored goals for the Royals in this game.
Greg Harding picked up two assists while Dan
Guolla and Cody Waite each picked up an assist in the game.
Matt McCaughan in the Royals’ net made 32 saves in this game.
On Friday evening, Oct. 7, the Royals travelled to Renfrew to play the home-town Timberwolves but came back home with a one goal loss in the game.
Renfrew led 1-0 after the fi rst period but the score was tied 2-2 at the end of the second period.
In the decisive third period, Renfrew scored twice while the Royals tal-lied only once, leaving the hometown team with a 4-3 victory.
Scott Barnes, Will Fra-ser and Matt Kadolph scored for the Royals in this game. Earning assists in the game were Scott Barnes, Ty Fleming, Dan Guolla, Greg Harding, Matt Kadolph and Justin Mayo. Erik Miksik made 27 saves in the Royals’ net in this game.
