‘WILD4SHELBY’
June 19th fundraiser to help seven year old JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The community is rallying behind a Richmond family and a seven year old daughter who has been diagnosed with two types of leukemia. Shelby Dozois, a grade two student at Elisabeth Bryere French Catholic School in Kanata, was diagnosed with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia (AML) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on April 1 and is currently undergoing treatment at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. To help the family, a “Wild4Shelby” fundraiser is being held on Saturday, June 19 at the Richmond arena. The event will include a buffet dinner catered by the Lone Star Ranch restaurant, silent auctions, door prizes and more. Entertainment for the evening dance will be provided by a local band called “Cheshire Grin.” Hopes are that at least 600 people will attend this fundraising event. The buffet dinner will begin at 5:30 p.m. with the dance beginning at 9 p.m. Tickets for both the dinner and dance are being sold for $35 for
adults and $15 for children (age 16 and under). There are advance tickets only with Monday, May 31 as the deadline date. Tickets can be purchased at Sue’s Hair Advantage on McBean Street in Richmond (phone 613-838-4753). There are also tickets available only for the dance. These tickets are available in advance at Sue’s Hair Advantage and there will be a limited number available at the door. Funds raised will be used to help the family offset costs incurred while Shelby undergoes treatment at CHEO. She may also require further treatment at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. Shelby has already completed ten days of chemotherapy treatment and is at CHEO where she is being monitored and is undergoing tests to see how she is responding to her treatments. Future treatment options may include a bone marrow transplant. Prior to her diagnosis, Shelby was a very active and healthy child. She was involved in ringette and was looking forward to the soccer season.

New school considers trees, sun JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF
Trees and the sun are both key factors in how a new elementary school in Stittsville will be located on its 2.8 hectare site on Hartsmere Drive. The site, which is currently zoned institutional which allows a school, is heavily treed and every effort is being made by the Ottawa-Carleton District School FUNDRAISER, SEE 2 Board to preserve as many of these trees as possible on
the site. In addition, the new school will be positioned on a slight angle to Hartsmere Drive in order to take full advantage of solar benefits for the building. The project’s principal architect, Robert Matthews of EMA Architects, told more than 30 people at a community information meeting on Wednesday, May 19 in Stittsville that efforts have been made to keep as many of the existing trees on the site as possible.

Shelby’s mother, Hilary, was providing day care in her home prior to Shelby’s diagnosis. She is now at CHEO with Shelby. Marc Dozois is on extended leave from his job at Canada Post so that he can spend time at the hospital as well. Shelby also has a sister, ten year old Paige. Shelby may have to go to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for a bone marrow transplant. Her sister Paige will be the donor if Paige turns out to be a match. If this happens, the family will likely have to stay in Toronto for an extended period. If Paige is not a match, Shelby’s treatment will probably involved several more rounds of chemotherapy at CHEO. The goal of the Wild4Shelby fundraiser and other fundraising that is underway for the Dozois family is to provide funds so that the parents Marc and Hilary can focus all of their energy on helping Shelby fight her illness and to ease any financial strains. A trust fund for Shelby has been set up at Scotiabank in Richmond. A post office box in Shelby’s name (P.O. Box 391, Richmond, Ontario K0A 2Z0) has been established to receive donations by mail. The West Ottawa Ringette Association used two recent banquets as fundraising opportunities for Shelby. This involved a silent auction and the sale of ball hats with “Wild4Shelby” on them. Wild is the name of West Ottawa Ringette teams while four is Shelby’s sweater number for her team. There are collection tins for Shelby at some businesses in both Richmond and Stittsville. A number of Richmond families raised funds for Shelby at the recent Richmond-wide community garage sale. For more information about the “Wild4Shelby” fundraiser or other information, please contact family friend Jen Sinclair at Wild4Shelby@ rogers.com or contact Tammy Schofield at tammy. schofield@ yahoo.ca or at 613Shelby Dozois 831-9170.

Art, literature, music, poetry - all at Village Square This Sunday, May 30, will see what has developed into perhaps the premier cultural event in the Stittsville community take place at Village Square Park in the heart of Stittsville. The annual Artists and Authors in the Park event, hosted by the Stittsville Village Association, will run from 12 noon to 5 p.m. It is quite simply a community celebration of art and literature. But there’s more. There will be music thanks to the Stittsville community concert band and, for the first time, youth poetry will be featured, with the distribution of prizes for the winning entries in a new poetry contest for youth. Besides the displays and exhibits by more than 50 local
artists and authors, the event will also see the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library set up, with stories being read for children and perhaps even some adults. Even some of the authors on site are going to be reading some of their writings. What is so great about this event is that those who attend get an opportunity to meet and chat with these creative artists and authors in attendance. Indeed, there is also the opportunity at this event to purchase a work of art or a book right from the artist or author. How cool is that! That this all takes place right in the heart of the community where you can bump into neighbours and friends and
enjoy what will hopefully be the spring sunshine is an added bonus. It also will be a fantastic opportunity to enjoy the musical stylings of the Stittsville community concert band. This group has grown in numbers and has expanded its musical offerings, ensuring that their performance will be a memorable and enjoyable one for all who stop and listen while visiting Artists and Authors in the Park. What is best of all is that this is all taking place right here in the middle of the community, free for one and all. What better way to spend a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon, surrounded by art, literature, music and poetry. It doesn’t get any better than this.
Enjoy mesmerizing play while supporting Friends of Hospice JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF A mesmerizing play that tells the inspirational story of a touching relationship between a student and his former college professor during the latter’s final days is coming to the Ottawa Little Theatre in Ottawa. And as befits the story in the play, funds raised at the play’s opening night on Wednesday, Aug. 4 will be going to support Friends of Hospice Ottawa which provides in home and day hospice care as well as other services to those in the west Ottawa area who are battling a life threatening illness. Tickets for the opening night, which includes a reception, a dessert extravaganza catered by A.J.’s Catering and an opportunity to meet the cast, are being sold for $55 each. They are available by going to the Friends of Hospice Ottawa website at www. friendsofhospiceottawa.ca. More information is available by contacting Ruth Cameron, director of event planning and financial management for Friends of Hospice Ottawa, at 613-838-5744. The play, “Tuesdays with Morrie,” has been written by Mitch Albom based on a best selling biography that has sold more than eight million copies. It tells the story of a relationship which develops between a student and his former teacher. Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist, has enjoyed great success
as an acclaimed newspaper columnist and broadcaster but he has been living a very shallow life. He gets a second chance to redeem himself by reconnecting with his old college professor, Morrie, during the latter’s final days. The play, which was performed in Bracebridge in 2008 and in Orillia and Gravenhurst in 2009, features Bob Dermer as Morrie and Roger Bird as Mitch. Bob Dermer has performed on stage in Canada, the United States and Europe. He co-starred with henry Winkler on Broadway in “42 Seconds from Broadway” and for nine years was the character Sam Crenshaw in the TV Ontario series “Today’s Special.” Roger Bird, who is a teacher at Huntsville High School, has been a radio reporter, producer and news director. He also enjoys writing and performing sketch comedy. “Tuesdays with Morrie” is being touted as a play that will make people laugh as well as hold the attention and interest of the audience from the opening curtain to the final bows. It promises to be a great evening at the theatre while also raising funds for Friends of Hospice Ottawa. Friends of Hospice Ottawa has its office in Richmond while also operating one of its two day hospice programs at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church hall in Richmond. Friends of Hospice Ottawa was the recipient of the People’s Choice top non-profit community organization award presented by the Kanata Chamber of Commerce last February.

Property rights may rest with Patent Grants JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The preservation of individual property rights may exist in historical documents known as Crown Land Patent Grants. These Patent Grants, in reality a contract between the Crown and the landowner, give the landowner of today protection against any invasive bylaws or legislation pertaining to the land, those at the annual general meeting of the Carleton Landowners Association were told on Thursday, May 20. Elizabeth Marshall of the Collingwood area, secretary of the Ontario Landowners Association and a researcher with the Association’s Patent Committee, said at the meeting at the former Goulbourn municipal building at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville that a Crown Land Patent Grant gives today’s rural landowner control over his or her land and the legal authority to defy intrusive legislation such as that protecting wetlands or endangered species. She said that the Patent Grants set out the original conditions pertaining to the ownership of the land, with a 60 year period provided for the Crown to change or revoke the Patent Grant. This has never happened and so today’s landowner, as an heir or assign of the original landowner, has inherited these rights as set out in the Patent Grant. This is unreserved ownership of the land except, in some cases, for certain features that may
be listed in a particular Patent such as gold, copper, iron, silver, white pine and navigable water. She urged all rural landowners, even if they own only a part of the original land grant, to apply to the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources for a certified copy of the Crown Land Patent Grant pertaining to the property. This costs $50. All that is needed is knowing the lot, concession and original township where the property sits. Ms. Marshall contended that while provincial governments can pass legislation pertaining to public lands, they cannot pass any legislation related to privately held land because of these Patent Grants which clearly provide for land ownership with no strings attached, as it were. This was the most major revelation at the annual general meeting. But receiving much attention as well was the current attempt by the Carleton Landowners Association and on a provincial basis the Ontario Landowners Association to become more structured and organized so that the organization will have more credibility and influence. The meeting also heard from several speakers that there is a need to develop the organization’s fundraising capability so that it has a “war chest” to take legal action against the government in situations where property rights have been trampled.

Deborah Madill, communications director for the Ontario Landowners Association, who also spoke at the meeting, added her voice to the need for the organization to become more structured. “We really have to be structured,” she said. “We really have to be strong.” She said that membership numbers have to grow and the organization has to become strong, lamenting that if this does not happen, rural landowners are going to lose everything. “We have to go out there and kick butt,” she said.

The Carleton Landowners Association has developed a draft set of bylaws which are now available for viewing on the group’s website at www.carletonlandowners.com. The bylaws are devised to help the Carleton Landowners Association to become a more structure group that would then be perceived as more credible and would gain more respect within the rural community. Having a “war chest” to legally back up protests to infringements on property rights was endorsed by Mark Tijssen, a Carlsbad Springs area resident who is now battling the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources following an incident in which he killed a pig on his property and then allowed some of it to be taken off the property. He lamented the costs, ranging from $45,000 to $100,000 which he could be facing if he decides to fight the government in court. If he agrees to a plea, his fine will only be a couple of thousand dollars or so. He praised the Carleton Landowners Association for providing moral support and advice to him but he lamented the group’s financial inability to help in any legal battles. “What we’re missing is the ability to take on these legal fees,” he said. He said that the provincial government would be more worried if the Landowners group had a war chest for such legal battles. “That’s my concern,” he said, “is that we are not well armed.” He urged the Carleton Landowners Association to go a step beyond just providing moral support in cases of injustice against property rights and develop a financial clout that would enable those involved in clear cases of injustice to be defended. Carleton Landowners Association president Tom Black of Goulbourn said that
having such a war chest is something that those involved with the Association have dreamed about but the problem is that there needs to be someone to fill such a war chest with money. Jack MacLaren of West Carleton, the current president of the Ontario Landowners Association and a former president Tom Black of the Carleton Landowners Association, in his remarks at the meeting, agreed with the feeling that the Association needs a war chest. “You’re right,” he told Mr. Black and Mr. Tijssen, “we need a war chest.” He noted that the organization, which began seven years ago with four people sitting around a table, has now grown to 21 county associations in the province. He said that the provincial organization has to become more structured and is now looking to hire a communications officer who would also do fundraising. Those at the meeting also heard from Mary Campbell, mayor of McNab/Braeside in the Arnprior area, who lamented that all provincial legislation these days is written from an urban point of view. However, she urged people to work from within the system to bring about change, advocating that they get involved in municipal politics. “We have more potential power than we ever had since 1850,” she said about municipalities, noting their new powers related to

Giving with hair JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF She has only just turned five but already Adriana (Adri) Kavanagh of Goulbourn knows how to give to others. Adri turned five years old on Monday, May 3rd and although she had never had her hair cut, she decided that she wanted to cut off her 12 inch long pony tail and donate it to help a cancer victim. It was deciced that the hair PHOTO COURTESY OF SHERI KAVANAGH would be donated to A Child’s Adriana (Adri) Kavanagh with her new Voice Foundation because this organization is involved with short hair style.
City of Ottawa Councillor Reports By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa I hope everyone had a nice long weekend and you were able to relax and enjoy yourselves with your families. Proposed ‘holding zone’ to development lands in Stittsville and Kanata South The City is proposing a Zoning By-law Amendment to apply a ‘holding zone’ on particular development properties to manage growth with respect to available capacity and until such time that capacity at the Hazeldean Pump Station (HPS) can be demonstrated. Additional capacity would be provided through identification of additional flow through the design of the pump station or through an upgrade to create additional flow. Following the Ontario Provincial Policy Statement, the City has been monitoring the HPS and based on the projected growth, an upgrade to the station would be required in approximately 2011-2012. At this time, the HPS flows are below the rated capacity and based on historical consumption, there remains approximately two years of residential capacity within the HPS. There are planning applications having an advanced status, which are predicted to use over half of the two-year capacity. The City has already initiated the necessary Environmental Assessment for upgrades to the HPS. Acquiring provincial approvals could be delayed, as such it is considered prudent to implement a ‘holding zone’ or lower case ‘h’ over lands which are tributary to the HPS in order that the City can manage growth responsibly with available capacity within the HPS, and to flag to property owners that future development requiring approval under the Ontario Planning Act may be put on hold where warranted until capacity is considered available within the HPS. For more information and to provide comments by June 4, please contact my office and the City Planner, Don Herweyer, at Don.Herweyer@ ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 x 28311. Additional information is available on my website.

Adri had her hair cut at the Chiquitaz Hair Salon in Stittsville on Saturday, May 8.

Graffiti – Reporting and prompt removal can lead to prevention To some, graffiti is an unsightly blight on the urban landscape but to many, including local business owners, graffiti is not just an aggravating nuisance – it takes significant amounts of time, money and effort to address. Graffiti includes all types of markings or writing with paint, markers,
scratches and even acid-based etching on glass. The City is raising awareness of the problem and is working with stakeholders to remove and prevent graffiti year-round through its Graffiti Management Program. Graffiti vandalism is a crime with serious consequences and residents are encouraged to help. Studies show that quick removal of graffiti is the best way to discourage further acts of vandalism. Don’t ignore graffiti – report it! To report existing graffiti on any property (public or private), complete the online form at ottawa.ca/graffiti or call the City of Ottawa at 3-1-1 (TTY: 613580-2401). Hate-related graffiti constitutes an additional criminal offence other than vandalism and should be reported immediately. If you see graffiti vandalism happening, call 9-1-1. It is considered a crime in progress. Graffiti vandals risk being charged under the Graffiti Management By-law as well. Private property owners are responsible for the removal of graffiti on their own property. Under the By-law, all property owners are required to keep their property graffiti-free. If your property has been vandalized with graffiti, be sure to file a police report by calling the Ottawa Police Service Call Centre at 613-236-1222, extension 7300 (TTY 613-760-8100) and remove it from your property as soon as possible. Visit ottawa.ca/ graffiti or call 3-1-1 to learn more about removal and prevention. Graffiti – Prevent it. Report it. Remove it. And help keep Ottawa beautiful. Always listening and acting on your concerns As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

‘THE NOSE COMPETITION’
PRESENTED
Medieval times at Ottawa Waldorf School their crowns and suitably attired, they made their majestic way into the performance area, taking their regal seats overlooking the performers while sitting beside a suit of armour which was on display. Their immediate proclamation of the lifting of all taxes for the week brought a cheer from the assembled performers, all wearing medieval-era costumes. After music, song and dance, the performers settled into the presentation of a comedy “The Nose Competition”, focused on judging who had the biggest nose. There were some beauties, as noses go, all mask-like artificial creations that brought what might in medieval times be called some “merriment” to the gathering. The play was followed by the beginning of a royal banquet, publicized as a “Food Fair for a Feast and Fit for a King!”.
Wearing his big nose mask as he performs in the play “The Nose Competition” at the recent Medieval Spring Fair at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville is student James Prado.

Rivers — A Source of Drinking Water
Hobin & Main Street
Four municipalities in our region get their source of municipal drinking water from local rivers: Carleton Place, Ottawa, Perth and Smiths Falls. Their intake pipes draw water straight out of the Mississippi River, Ottawa River, Tay River and Rideau River, respectively. That water is then filtered, disinfected and tested before being piped out to homes and businesses in those urban areas. The Mississippi-Rideau Source Protection Committee (SPC) is now completing studies that will make municipal drinking water even safer! These rivers and the land that drains into them upstream of the intakes were studied to determine where pollutants might be able to get into the water and how vulnerable the intakes are to contamination. Knowing this will allow us to create policies that will help prevent contamination in crucial areas. First, the studies assessed how vulnerable the intakes are to contamination. For instance, Ottawa’s intakes, that are over 300 metres from shore and more than 6 metres deep, are generally less vulnerable than intakes in smaller rivers like Perth’s whose intake is only four metres from shore and is less than two metres deep. Next, the studies mapped land and water where polluted runoff or spilled chemicals could flow downstream and reach the intake. Three important Intake Protection Zones (IPZs) were mapped: a 200 metre buffer around each intake (IPZ-1); an area within which runoff and spilled contaminants could reach the intake within 2 hours (IPZ-2); and a large area within which water could reach the intake (IPZ-3). Lastly, scientists determined how easily contaminants (if present) could enter the river within these three zones – the vulnerability of the area. They considered: amount of land in IPZ-2 (more land, more chance of contamination); land cover, soil type, permeability and slope (all determine if water will run off into the river or seep into the soil – higher runoff means more chance of contamination); and the presence of pathways like ditches, storm sewers and tributaries which make it easier for contaminants to get to the river. In IPZ-1, only Ottawa’s intakes received the lower of two possible vulnerability scores. In IPZ-2, Smiths Falls and Ottawa received the middle of three possible scores while Carleton Place and Perth received the highest. This is the first time this type of study has been done in Ontario and there has been a lot of debate about methodologies. While it’s not in the public interest to underestimate how vulnerable our drinking water sources are, it also isn’t right to assign the most restrictive vulnerability score to an area without scientific rationale. The SPC considers these results to be a reasonable first time assessment with the desire to reassess them (and assign vulnerability scores in IPZ-3) once more provincial direction is provided. Land uses are now being looked at within the most vulnerable areas to estimate how many significant threats to the water supply currently exist. Examples include municipal landfills and sewage treatment plants, large volume fuel storage, large volume fertilizer and pesticide application and spreading of manure. Many of these land uses can easily reduce their threat by implementing best management practices. A Source Protection Plan containing policies to address each threat will get underway this fall and will involve lots of public input.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF It was medieval times all over again at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville on Sunday, May 16. One of the highlights of the medieval spring fair which was held at the school was a medieval play “The Nose Competition.” It featured not only a variety of noses of different lengths and dimensions but also dancing, music and the antics of a pair of court jesters, played by students Bob Hansen and Dustin King. They jumped through hoops, battled with sticks and otherwise entertained during any lull in the play’s activity. All of this was watched by the medieval king and queen, played by willing adults Jeff Korentayer and Allyson McQuinn. Wearing

A visit to the ArtSpace area at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library these days can take the viewer to the Scottish highlands, to an Irish road, to a misty lake, to a schooner on the high seas or to a trawler at anchor in an Irish cove. These are among the scenes depicted in the current nine painting exhibit by Stittsville landscape artist John Madden at ArtSpace. It is well worth dropping into the Stittsville library branch sometime before June 13 when the exhibit ends and venture to the ArtSpace wall in the back right rear corner of the branch to see these framed landscapes by Mr. Madden. Mr. Madden, who operates the Art Mad shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre with his wife Maggie, is an artist who is inspired by the natural landscape of his environment. Indeed, he finds the environment of this area similar to that of his native Ireland, something which helps as he creates his artwork. Born in 1960 in Belfast, Ireland, his father was a longtime painter, calligrapher and mosaic specialist who passed on his artistic talents to John and his siblings. An engineer for over 20 years, John came to Canada in 1998 and opened the Art Mad shop in Stittsville in 2007. Art Mad sells art supplies while also providing gallery space for exhibits. Art Mad also offers art classes, some of which John himself teaches. He also facilitates an art program for recovering addicts at the New Gate program in Merrickville. Currently serving as secretary of the Ottawa West Arts Association of which he was one of the founding members, John saw Art Mad nominated as Business of the Year in the Stittsville Appreciation Awards this year.
In his art, John mixes the influences of the Canadian environment with that of his native Ireland, with watercolour being his preferred medium. He finds that watercolour is perfect for capturing the colours and moods of both Canada and Ireland. Many of his paintings are a combination of the scenes and influences which he has experienced in both countries. The nine paintings on display at ArtSpace at the Stittsville library are all framed and all for sale, with prices ranging from $150 to $800. The paintings include “Mountain Pass, Scottish Highlands,” which is an acrylic on canvas, the only one that is not a watercolour; “Barn in Winter, Quebec”; “Still Standing” showing a solo tree beside a fence; “Road to Lurgan, County Down, Ireland”; “Going Home,” showing a laneway running between trees; a painting showing a schooner at full sail on the sea; “Lake Mist Rising”, showing an early morning mist covering much of the scenery of a shoreline; “Tralee Trawler, Ireland”, depicting a colourful trawler at anchor; and “Breaking Weather, West Coast, Ireland,” a shoreline scene. There is a book of comments at the exhibit in which viewers can write their thoughts about the exhibit and Mr. Madden’s art. The display cabinet beside the ArtSpace wall has several books about painting and art on display. This exhibit of a selection of Mr. Madden’s art can be viewed during regular hours at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Mr. Madden will also be one of the artists who will be exhibiting their art at the annual Artists and Authors in the Park event at Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville this coming Sunday, May 30 from noon to 5 p.m.

Grove in Stittsville. Stittsville managed just one hit in this game but it was a memorable one as Dan Jessiman smashed a home run to centre field. This season the former Manotick Lomor Printers team has become the Barrhaven Broadway Blues thanks to the new sponsorship of the Broadway restaurant in Barrhaven. In addition this season, the former Greely Eagles have become the North Gower Marlboroughs under the sponsorship of the Marlborough Pub in North Gower. The current Greater Ottawa Fastball League standings as of Friday, May 21 are the Barrhaven Broadway Blues in a first place tie with both the Kars Aces and the North Gower Marlboroughs. Carp 14C Victory and Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric are just one point back, tied for second. They are followed by the Quyon Combat Flyers and Ottawa Blitz with the Stittsville 56ers bringing up the rear.

JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF The Stittsville 56ers are off to a slow start in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League this season. The defending champions are in the cellar of the eight team league with only one win in four games. On Wednesday, May 19, the Kars Aces blanked the 56ers 7-0 at Alexander Grove in Stittsville. Darren Featherstone took the loss on the mound for the 56ers in this game. Kars struck for two runs in the first inning and another four runs in the second inning to take control of the game. This 7-0 loss for the 56ers came on the heels of the team’s 8-1 loss to the Carp 14C Victory squad in Carp on Thursday, May 13. Once again, it was a big inning that sunk the 56ers as Carp scored five runs in the fourth inning to make it a blowout. It was a bad week for the 56ers as the Stittsville team had lost 10-1 to the Quyon Combat Flyers just the night before in a game at Alexander

Season over for Sacred Heart Huskies JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF
The junior football season is over for the Sacred Heart Huskies. The Huskies lost their final two games of the season last week to finish with a record of one win and five losses and making the Huskies one of three teams in the 11 team high school league that did not qualify for playoff action. The Huskies were swamped 44-0 by St. Matthew High School in a game at St. Matthew’s in Gloucester last Friday afternoon. Going into the game, Huskies coach Curtis MacNeil knew that the Huskies were going up against one of the strongest teams in the league.
Coach MacNeil was hoping that the Huskies could be competitive with the powerful St. Matthew’s team but it turned out that the Huskies could not move the ball much offensively in the game. The defense played fairly well, giving up only two offensive touchdowns in the game. But St. Matthew’s scored another touchdown on an interception return and ran back three punts for touchdowns. It was 35-0 for St. Matthew’s at half time. The Huskies had a real good chance for the team’s second victory of the season and perhaps access to the playoffs in their game against Holy Trinity High School at Sacred Heart in Stittsville on Tuesday, May 18.
The Huskies led 7-1 at half time thanks to a 15 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Jake Oliver to receiver Tyson Littau in the end zone. In the second half, the Huskies continued to move the ball on offense but two fumbles ended up being the team’s downfall. “We managed to shoot ourselves in the foot,” is how coach MacNeil referred to the two fumbles. The second of the fumbles happened in the fourth quarter when the Huskies were on the march, reaching the Holy Trinity 17 yard line. Holy Trinity then took over the ball and after two long pass completions, scored a touchdown and went on to win by a 9-7 score.

Fight leukemia, donate empties If 475 empty beer cases are returned to The Beer Store in Stittsville on this coming weekend of May 29/30 and the deposit refunds donated, Stittsville will have done its part in raising funds to combat leukemia, the number one disease killer of children in Canada. This will all be part of what is being billed as the “Biggest Bottle Drive in Canada” which has the goal of raising one million dollars for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. This will be done if every one of the 440 The Beer Store outlets in Ontario has
475 empty cases of beer returned with the refunds donated. This will mean a total of 210,000 cases and hence the resulting one million dollars raised. This is being done through the initiative of the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 12R24 and The Beer Store with 100 percent of the deposit refunds that are donated going directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada. This will apply not only to empty cases of beer but also empty wine and spirit containers as well.
Last year the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 12R24 and The Beer Store raised over $830,000 through this bottle return weekend, all supporting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada in its fight against leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma. “Bring in your empties the weekend of May 29 and 30 and help find a cure for blood cancers,” says Ted Moroz, president of The Beer Store.

BAD NEWS It is even worse than previously anticipated! • Hydro
is increasing by 20%* (inc.HST) • Water is increasing by 18%* (inc.HST) • Gas is increasing by 25%* (inc.HST)
In addition to price increases in phones, cable TV, groceries… You will NOT get a wage increase to cover these additional costs thus many Ottawa families will be forced into serious debt before the end of the year. There are a few things you can do to minimize the damages: • Decrease your water use (see website for details) • Decrease gas use (see website for details) • Decrease your hydro use (see website for details) • Switch to energy efficient equipment & appliances * Increases based on the latest information currently available including the new HST

It costs $85 to take a taxi from Marchurst Road in Kanata to Richmond. How do we know? Well, this is the amount of the fare which two male teens stiffed a taxi driver for recently. On a recent Saturday, the taxi driver picked up the two teens at a house on Marchurst Road in Kanata. Before agreeing to drive them to the Richmond address requested, he asked them for money or identification. One of the teens showed a South Carleton High School picture ID card to the driver. However, on arrival at the Richmond address, the two teens bailed out of the cab and ran into the backyard of the house without paying the $85 fare. The Ottawa Police Service is now investigating the incident.

WITH FIVE FEMALE ROLE MODELS
Video allows youth to learn about leadership, goals A principal. A volunteer firefighter. An optometrist. An involved youth. They all told their stories and shared their beliefs about succeeding and reaching goals recently to a group of Pathfinders and Guides in Stittsville. It was all done, though, thanks to the magic of video as expertly recorded and compiled by Sandy Durocher of Stittsville with the guidance of community volunteer Theresa Qadri. The Pathfinders and Guides, in listening to and watching the video, heard from school principal Cindy Beauchamp, volunteer firefighters Christine Lennox and Dawn Marincak, optometrist Dr. Corrine Motluk and student Katrina Harder. Each one answered a series of questions and remarkably, the responses were similar in message, namely try your best, be persistent, follow your dreams and accept guidance from role models like parents and friends. School principal Cindy Beauchamp advised on the video that a person has to be willing to take a risk in order to succeed. Doing your best does not go unnoticed, she said, while explaining that for her, success is knowing that at the end of each day, she has had an impact on someone in a positive way. Christine Lennox, a Stittsville volunteer firefighter, explained on the video that being a volunteer firefighter allows her to demonstrate to her daughter and son that women
can be strong and be leaders. “Be true to who you are,” she advised on the screen, urging the young girls watching to take pride in who each of them is as a person. She said that for her, success is feeling good about who she is and where she is in her life. Dr. Corrine Motluk, a Stittsville optometrist, urged those watching to be positive and try to realize their dreams. She defined success in her view as a feeling of calmness and reassurance, of being comfortable with herself and bringing happiness to others. Stittsville volunteer firefighter Dawn Marincak told about her seven year effort to become a volunteer firefighter, the first female one at the Stittsville station. She urged the girls watching to never give up on their dreams. Sacred Heart Catholic High School student Katrina Harder emphasized the importance of friends and supportive parents. Always be yourself and be true to that, she advised while also pointing out the importance of hard work and effort. “I believe you have to build your own success,” she said. “Being successful is being happy with where you are,” she added. This video was assembled by Sandy Durocher and Theresa Qadri so that it could be used as a tool to convey to young girls concepts about leadership and success from a female point of view. The evening gathering wound up with a performance by the Stittsville community
concert band which began its program with the Olympic song “I Believe,” certainly per-
petuating a theme that ran through the video presentation.

NEW SCHOOL, FROM 1
The school’s two storey library will be located at its east or right hand end when looking at the school from Hartsmere Drive. The gymnasium will be located at the west or left hand end of the building. A second floor seminar room will look down into the library. The school’s corridors will feature four small breakout areas where teachers can gather with their students for an out-ofclassroom session. There will be three such areas on the first floor and one on the second floor. They will have benches for the students and pinup areas on the walls. There will be an elevator for access to and from the second floor in special circumstances. The School Board expects to issue a tender for the construction of the school about mid-July, with a contractor expected to start activity on the site in the latter part of August. While the site as been designed as a junior kindergarten to grade six school, the school’s actual attendance area, grade structure and program such as being a dual track school for French Immersion will be determined by the Board in a parallel process which is now underway. There will be a public information meeting dealing with the proposed attendance area, grade structure and other elements of the new school coming up in the community. It is expected that the school will open in September, 2011 with a student enrolment around 500 students. It is also expected that there will be from seven to ten school buses serving the school when it opens.

Playing lacrosse SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Meghan Ridley of Stittsville is leading a new trend in lacrosse – girls playing what has been and still is mainly a boys’ sport. Meghan, along with her girl teammates Reaghan Proulx of Kanata and Jessica Peters of Almonte, is proving to be a force this season on the Swarm, her novice house league lacrosse team in the Nepean Minor Lacrosse Association. Meghan is somewhat of a veteran, having played lacrosse now for three years. She became involved in the sport after watching her older brother Nathan playing. Meghan also plays all-girls hockey and she brought lacrosse flyers to her teammates. Indeed, this is what helped recruit Reaghan Proulx of Kanata to lacrosse. Reaghan, one of the most athletic girls on Meghan’s hockey team, is now one of the fastest runners on the Swarm lacrosse team. Meghan, though, is one of the stalwarts of her novice house league team. She finds that she gets emotionally involved in the action, a different reaction than the boys on the team. Meghan is not a big scorer, perhaps indicative of the fact that her favourite part of the game is defending. But Meghan did score her first goal in a shootout in the Swarm’s 6-5 loss to the novice Roughnecks team. She also had an assist in this game. Meghan is showing that girls have a place in minor lacrosse and her example is helping to grow lacrosse for girls in the PHOTO COURTESY OF MATT FIRTH Ottawa area. Meghan Ridley
Stittsville News - MAY 27, 2010
This means that the two storey, seven metre tall building with 19 classrooms, a library and a gymnasium will be kept close to the site’s Hartsmere Drive frontage, although the building will still be farther back on the site than the minimum setback required by the site’s zoning. There will be a two lane bus layby loop at the front of the school along with a vehicular layby area on the street. Mr. Matthews said that keeping the building close to the front of the site means that the forested area at the rear of the school can be kept pretty much as it is today except for some cleanup of the area. The building will be more or less parallel to the street but will be angled somewhat so that solar efficiencies can be realized. The building is going to be highly insulated with five inches of insulation. In addition, the heating system will be able to store heat in the floor slabs so that the building will be able to maintain a stable temperature as the furnace recycles. In addition, this means a warm floor for the students. The exterior of the school will be light coloured to reflect the sun and it will feature floor to ceiling glazing for the classrooms and for the two-storey library. There will be a distinctive wood soffit over the school’s main central entrance which will be easily reached via a direct sidewalk from the front of the site. The Ottawa-Carleton District School Board wanted to move into the 21st century with this new school with regard to the environment, said Board superintendent Peter Gamwell at the meeting. A 63 vehicle parking lot and second-
ary drop off area for vehicles will be located at the east or right hand side of the school when viewing it from Hartsmere Drive. This area will have lighting. There will be a paved play area behind the school featuring a basketball court, a kindergarten play area and a junior play structure. There will also be an area behind the school designated for future portables, 12 maximum, if the school’s population grows beyond its 600 student capacity. A playing field will be located north of the parking lot in the northeast area of the site. Any trees will be removed from this area including one forested area which apparently abounds with trilliums. Special attention will be given to any trilliums which exist on the site as well as to any special trees such as beech trees or butternut trees. An existing tree line along the west side of the site, adjacent to homes backing onto the site on Arrowwood Drive, is to be enhanced with shrub and some tree planting to provide an enhanced screening of the site. The north end of the site will be crossed by a stone dust pedestrian pathway that will run along the adjacent properties and be separated from the school site by a fence to keep students in a safe and supervised environment. The school itself will have seven kindergarten rooms so that it can accommodate the new early learning program recently launched by the province. The School Board has identified the new school as a site for the early learning program beginning when it opens in September, 2011. Ministry approval is expected shortly.
Jack MacLaren is seeking Conservative nomination JOHN CURRY NEWS STAFF There’s competition for the Progressive Conservative nomination for the CarletonMississippi Mills riding for the next provincial election. The riding is currently held by longtime Conservative MPP Norm Sterling who was first elected to the provincial legislature in 1977. However, this time around, he is going to have to fight for the riding’s nomination as he is being challenged for it by Jack MacLaren of MacLaren’s Landing in West Carleton. Speaking at the May 20th annual general meeting of the Carleton Landowners Association of which he is a past president, Mr. MacLaren said that he was stepping down from his current position as president of the Ontario Landowners Association to enter the political arena. “I’ve decided to take a run at politics,” he said, saying that he has put together a campaign team and is now selling memberships in the provincial Conservative par-
ty. It is party members in the riding who will decide on the nominee. Mr. MacLaren said that his team has now sold about 600 party memberships which he figures should be enough to win the nomination. No date has yet been announced for the nomination meeting. The election will be held in October, 2011. “We have nothing against Norm (Sterling) except I just want his job,” Mr. MacLaren said, adding that he had told Mr. Sterling of his intentions last February in which he described as a conversation which turned it to be fairly short in duration.
