The Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Unity Cross was in Stittsville last week. The hand crafted three dimensional wooden sculpture that features paintings of four scripture passages surrounding an icon of Christ in the centre was at Guardian Angels Catholic School from Wednesday through Friday while it was on display at Holy Spirit Catholic Church for the weekend masses there. This Unity Cross, created by Geoff Guitard, a chaplaincy leader at two Catholic schools, is meant to go along with the Catholic Board’s current spiritual theme, “Though Many, We Are One Body in Christ.� The paintings
on the cross depict four scripture passes: The Loaves and the fishes, Pentecost, The Road to Emmaus and The Beatitudes. The Unity Cross is to visit each Ottawa Catholic School Board over the course of two years. Guardian Angels Catholic School is the first Catholic school in Stittsville to receive the Unity Cross. Students prepared for its arrival by being involved in the creation of the school’s own unity cross. Each grade level did the artwork for a different section of this giant paper cross which was then created on a wall in the school library. In addition, each student in the school created a paper angel, with all of these angels then placed on the wall around the school’s unity cross. See UNITY CROSS, page 3

Unity Cross at Guardian Angels
From page 1 With the arrival of the Board’s Unity Cross on Wednesday, March 3, after an opening ceremony, the cross was placed in the school library, with each class being given 20 min-
utes to visit the library and see and even touch the Unity Cross. They were able to browse through a photo album accompanying the Unity Cross, featuring pictures of where the cross

has been on its journey around the school board schools to date. The students were able to create prayer intentions and insert them inside the cross through an opening in the rear. There is a door in the front of the cross where each school community places a gift for the next school that is receiving the cross. For Guardian Angels, this was a gift from Holy Family Catholic School, namely a candle with associated embellishments. Guardian Angels, for its part, placed a guardian angels figure in the gift area before sending it on to the next school to receive it, St. Mark Catholic High School in Manotick. The Unity Cross is constructed with over 400 individually handcrafted pieces of red cedar. Designed within a series of symbolic concentric circles, the cross expands outward, bridging and breaking through the circles that tend to isolate segments of communities.

March Break at Museum
BEN BEFORE
The Goulbourn Museum is going to be the place to be for youngsters during March Break this year. Indeed, the luck of the Irish is going to shine as well, as one of the special activities being held is going to have very much of an Irish theme to it as it will be happening on Thursday, March 17 which is St. Patrick’s Day itself. Two events, geared to youngsters aged 4 to 12, are being held. On Tuesday, March 15, the Museum will be offering a March Break Keepsakes for Kids event. This will be an afternoon of crafts and activities at the Museum, running from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. On Thursday, March 17, the Museum will be holding Limericks, Leprechauns and Luck, a St. Patrick’s Day event. This craft event will run from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Registration for these March Break craft events can be done by phone at 613-831-2393 or by email at education@goulbournmuseum.ca. Each event costs $3 per child, with all materials included.

Members of the 30th Kanata Rangers who are baking at the upstairs room at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville, making cookies and muffins for the Shepherds of Good Hope, are, from left to right, Heidi Jarvis, Courtney Flavell, Jessica Burns, leader Melissa Speakman, Sarah Prager and Andree Pilon.
Loyalist theme at meeting SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Do you have Loyalist ancestors? Are you fascinated with how those loyal to the British monarchy left their American homes and relocated to Upper Canada to continue to live under British rule? Do you wonder what life was like for these Loyalist settlers in Upper Canada or indeed for any of the early settlers in this area? Or do you just enjoy history? If any of these appeal to you, then you should make a note to attend the March meeting of the Goulbourn Township His-
torical Society on Saturday, March 19 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library where Brian Tackaberry, president of the Bay of Quinte Branch of the United Empire Loyalists, will be the guest speaker. Everyone is welcome to attend. His topic will be “Loyalist Settlements in Eastern Ontario.” He will explain the hardships which Loyalists and other settlers endured during the American Revolution and while settling in Upper Canada. He will even have a few Loyalist artifacts with him for display purposes.
The 30th Kanata Rangers wanted to help out the Shepherds of Good Hope, the downtown Ottawa organization that helps out the homeless and needy. The bad news was that the girls, from both Stittsville and Kanata who range in age from 15 to 18, are not old enough to volunteer at the facility itself, as there is a minimum age requirement of at least 18 years old. But the Rangers still wanted to do something to help and when the Shepherds of Good Hope suggested that the girls could do some baking, the girls quickly adopted this as a service project for their group. The Shepherds of Good Hope apparently have a real need for fresh baked goods and this was something that the Rangers could do. So, the Rangers with the guidance of their leaders, Jacqueline Vincent and Melissa Speakman, arranged for the use
of the upstairs room at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer in Stittsville which has all of the facilities required for such a baking session. Indeed, Todd and Sandra Brown of Brown’s YIG even provide the use of the room free of charge and, in addition, provided a $25 donation towards the girls’ efforts. The Rangers spent Sunday, Feb. 27 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the upstairs room, baking things such as chocolate chip cookies and muffins, all to be delivered to the Shepherds of Good Hope the next day. The Rangers are the oldest group in the Guiding movement, much like Venturers are the oldest in Scouting. Rangers have a defined program to follow but each group can customize the program to meet the interests of the girls involved. The Rangers also undertake service projects such as this baking initiative to help the Shepherds of Good Hope.

Blues musicians Tom Joanisse, far left, and Jason Fryer, far right, show their guitars to Holy Spirit Catholic School students Cameron Hickson, centre, left, and Eric Liska, centre, right, following their Blues in the Schools performance at Holy Spirit in Stittsville on Wednesday, March 2.
Blues at Holy Spirit JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
It was like the Bluesfest came to Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Wednesday, March 2. The school’s gymnasium resounded with the sounds of the blues, not only classic Delta-style blues like the 1936 song “Sweet Home Chicago” but also the later Chicago style of blues, one more favoured by performers Jason Fryer, Caroline Addison and Tom Joanisse, all of whom play for River City Junction, a blues/rock band that performs in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. But it did not stop there, as after explaining and demonstrating blues music, much with the accompaniment of rhythmic clapping by the assembled students, the trio of performers did a couple of songs which demonstrated how the blues and its unique beat have spread into different kinds of music. These songs included the iconic “Johnny Be Good,” the Chuck Berry piece that began rock ‘n roll, the Beatles’ “Day Tripper” song which features a chord progression that is very much blues in nature and a song by the 1960’s and 1970’s classic rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) which uses the blues as a building block in creating this rock ‘n roll tune. The school performance, held under the Blues in the Schools program in which visiting musicians expose students to music, especially the blues, saw students receive an explanation of the history of the blues which has its origins in African traditional music which arrived in North America with the African people who used it to keep up their spirits while working in the agricultural fields. Blues music arises from hardship and strife and trouble but is akin to what a person would hear in church, Jason Fryer told the students. He said that blues music uplifts the soul, making a person feel good, much like gospel music does. He said that much of today’s music has
its roots in the blues. “Blues actually easily goes into country, into rock, into jazz,” he explained, as these musical forms are built around the blues’ musical structure. Among the blues songs played by the trio, which included Jason Fryer on guitar, Tom Joanisse on bass guitar and Jason’s wife Caroline Addison on drums and vocals, was “Wayward Brother,” a song that Jason himself wrote about his life and meeting Christ and becoming one with God. Mr. Fryer explained that the blues gives a musician freedom of musical expression, allowing for instrumental improvisation. This results in music that comes from the heart. It also means that a musician has no idea what notes he is playing and so can probably never play that music exactly the same again. He told the students that being a musician like he has been for over 30 years now is a lot like being called to the clergy in that it is not a job or a hobby. “It’s my life,” the professional musician said. Asked what is his favourite musical instrument, he quickly respond that it is the voice. “Without a good vocal, you don’t have anything,” he said about performance groups. His wife Caroline Addision had a similar response to such a question, saying that she likes to sing more than play an instrument like her drums. She explained that her voice is always with her and so she never has to carry anything extra around with her, like she has to with other musical instruments. The Blues in the Schools program was initiated in Ottawa area schools in 1999 and this year more than 10,000 students will be involved in the program. The Blues in the Schools program is a charitable undertaking which is financially supported by the not-for-profit Cisco Ottawa Bluesfest organization with support from private sector partners.

The story of Noah and his ark came alive at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville on Thursday, March 3 – in black and white. It was a shadow puppet presentation by the school’s grade three/four students, telling the biblical story of Noah and his ark and how he saved the various animals from a disastrous flood. It was all done thanks to puppets on sticks
which were made by the students themselves, either cut out with scissors or carved out with a knife. The puppets were then given life by the students, as they moved them as appropriate, with behind-the-scenes lighting creating the black shadow outline of the puppet, be it Noah himself, the King, a person or an animal, on the white screen which could be seen by the audience. Narration was done by the students, telling the tale of how Noah constructed the ark and then loaded it with all of
God’s creatures – elephants, foxes, kangaroos, snakes, horses, camels, sheep – you name it and the animals paraded across the screen and into the waiting ark. The ark’s door was sealed and the
ensuing storm, with its thunder and downpour, flooded the earth. Eventually Noah discovered dry land and gave thanks to God for saving those on the ark from the flood.

EDITORIAL
What’s in a name? Plenty! This Friday, March 11 will mark one of the top “feel good” days ever in Stittsville. There’s going to be a ceremony to officially proclaim the Stittsville District Community Centre, yes, the old Stittsville arena as the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Centre. And really, this will warm the heart of every Stittsville resident who has ever set foot inside the facility or who knows of the exploits and character of John Leroux. We are sure that those energetic and community-mind souls who saw the need for Stittsville to have an indoor arena and who worked so hard at making it a reality in 1971 would be pleased as punch that the facility is now going to bear
the name of probably the most avid and enthusiastic sports fan in the community. The arena is being named after John Leroux not just in recognition for the over 45 years that he has been involved in sports of all kinds in the community. It is also not being named after him not just because he is a Korean War veteran who served with courage and valour there and who has been a key member of the Stittsville branch of the Royal Canadian Legion in recent decades. Granted, these are part of the reason but we like to think that the reason why it is so fitting that the arena is being named after John Leroux is because he is always brimming with enthusiasm and perpetually has a
smile on his face and a greeting in his voice at whatever sporting event he is at. His demeanour makes you realize that winning is not what matters most in sports. Rather, it is playing the sport and having fun and being involved that is what is most important. And John Leroux, through his years of participating, coaching, organizing and refereeing/umpiring and most importantly as a fan, has shown through his example that it is involvement with sports that is important, not the final score on the board. John Leroux is probably the most recognizable face around the Stittsville arena and now the facility is going to bear his name as of this Friday. What a great day for Stittsville!

Double double trouble in the name game That was a shocking story about the overcrowded Vancouver hospital that had to use the in-house Tim Hortons as part of its emergency room. Everyone is running around wondering what to do about this. The obvious solution, spending more public money on hospitals, has not seemed to occur to anyone. This is an age in which no government is allowed to spend more money on anything. In that vein, you are invited to view a proposal to sell naming rights on public buildings in Ottawa. Under the proposal, buildings — or parts of buildings or rooms in buildings, or perhaps doors in buildings — would be named after generous corporate donors. This idea is viewed by its supporters as money for nothing. If Ottawa City Hall became, for example, Toyota City Hall, that would raise some revenue for the city and the city wouldn’t have to do anything politically ugly like use taxes to raise money.
CHARLES GORDON As for the fact that people may not like the idea of Ottawa City Hall being called Toyota City Hall — some might not even like it being called Disney City Hall — there are two answers. One came from an Ottawa councillor: “There was a time when the tax base could support everything that folks were looking for,” Mark Taylor said, quoted by the CBC. “That day has come and gone, and now we have to make sure we’re capitalizing on every other opportunity.” That’s one way of looking at it. Another way is to say that what has really come and gone is the courage of politicians to keep services at a high level and ask taxpayers to pay for them. Anyway, that’s one answer. The other answer is that people,
even if they are horrified at first by a public wading pool named after an insecticide, will get used to it. And, unfortunately, that’s correct. Remember when ScotiaBank Place was the Palladium? Remember when it became the Corel Centre? How upset were you, really? And you probably wouldn’t be upset if tomorrow it became the Ex-Lax Centre either, especially if the parking congestion were eased. A cynic might say that there are dozens of ugly structures in this town that might benefit by being named after, say, Count Chocula or Hummer or Air Wick. But in general, it isn’t a good idea to rename everything in sight just to pull in some corporate bucks. Some of the best names on local structures have nothing to do with corporations. What could be a better name than Frank Clair Stadium? (Don’t you dare change it, by the way.) And who would quarrel with naming buildings, parts of buildings, parks and open spaces after Walter Baker or Ben Franklin or Charlotte

Whitton or Andrew Haydon or Marion Dewar? Mercifully there is no indication that they will be changed. Those names say something about the history of the city. A corporate name, unless it is a local one, says nothing. Here are some names of North American sports facilities: American Airline Arena, Rexall Place, Arco Arena, Bank One Ballpark, Cinergy Field, HP Pavilion, Office Depot Centre. Not a one has any identification with the city in which it is located and only a total sports nerd would be able to link the city with the name. Does Edmonton immediately spring
to mind when you hear Rexall Place? That’s not what we want for Ottawa. But — eureka! — maybe it would work in Vancouver. You take the hospital Tim Hortons, remove the doughnuts, put the hospital equipment in permanently and, voila, here is a new emergency room. Then, you rename it the Tim Hortons Emergency Room and charge Tim Hortons a few hundred thousand for the privilege. That seems to make sense. The only question is where people would go for their coffee. Perhaps a new doughnut shop down the street. What about naming it after a public building?

rection. He notes that in grade seven and eight at Sacred Heart, he was not that good at science. However, now in his later grades, as the science courses have become more specialized and specific, he has found that he enjoys the subject. Indeed, this year he is involved in an earth and space science course that he has found interesting. The same thing has happened with regard to physics, as he has enjoyed that subject this year as well. He has found as well that his marks have improved in the higher grades and now are in the 90’s range. He feels that this is because in the semester system, he does not have to take as many courses at the same time and so he is better able to concentrate on the courses as they come up. Jordan is also in the French Immersion program and is looking forward to receiving his French Immersion certificate upon graduation from high school. He feels that it is beneficial to have these French language skills going forward. Jordan has recently started playing the guitar, something which he terms “fun”. He and a friend will get together on occasion and jam, although he notes that he probably does not practise the guitar as much as he should. Jordan also lifts weights at a

Sacred Heart High School student Jordan Marr is off to Shad Valley this summer. It is a four week summer enrichment program filled with workshops and lectures that focus on the sciences, engineering, technology and entrepreneurship, all with the goal of being an academically stimulating and mind expanding adventure for students. “It’s basically a mix of science and engineering and different activities,” Jordan, a grade 11 student, says in explaining the Shad Valley program. It will involve spending the month of July at one of the ten Shad Valley program university sites in Canada, with the students involved living in residence on campus. Students can indicate a preference for which site they would prefer. Jordan has listed his preference as Waterloo, Queen’s and McMaster, feeling that he might as well leave the Ottawa area for the program (Carleton University is one of the sites as well). Indeed, he is looking forward to the program, not only for its challenges but also because he feels it will be fun living on campus away from home for those four weeks. Jordan is one of only 500 students who have been accepted into the program which allocates 50 students to each of the ten university sites across Canada where the program is offered. He learned about the program from his grandmother who is aware of the program and thought that it would be a good experience for her grandson. Jordan is not yet sure of what

Even famous Andrews Sisters show up at Music Trivia Night JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
One hundred questions with a musical answer, some given with audio clues. Even the famous Andrews Sisters showed up, along with their Bugle Boy of Company B. And when all was said and sung at this third annual Music Trivia Night hosted by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers at the Richmond Legion Hall last Saturday, only 14 points separated the top ten teams. And with the winning team finishing with 84 points, four more than the three teams tied for second, you can see that only ten points separated tenth from second, it was that close. The grand prize worth $400 was taken home by the team of Nancy Kelly, Gwyneth Harkin, Perry Harkin and Michael Parry. For Nancy, it was déjà vu in some respects as she was a winner at the first Music Trivia Night in 2009.
And as for advice to others: the winners suggest going with the first instinct when answering questions. Don’t second guess yourself and change your initial thought. There is a lot of second guessing as the 100 questions, broken down into ten rounds of ten questions each, deal with a variety of musical genres and have different themes. This year’s rounds featured the opening so-called “easy” round (if you knew the theme to the movie Rocky, you got off to a good start) to a round where all of the answers related to a bird to a country music round to a “classical and classics” round to a round featuring the music of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s to a round with music from the last decade to a round with answers all being four letter words to a round in which all of the answers featured some kind of food or consumable to the final all-Canadian round. Give you an example of a question or

two? Sure. In the second round, “For the Birds,” the question was about what was the country rock group formed by the duo of Ian and Sylvia in 1969? Remember, the answer had to involve some kind of bird. And indeed it did as Great Speckled Bird was the answer. Or in the so-called “ABC” round where the answers started with different letters of the alphabet, from A through J, singer Paul Brant was singing about heading home to where, starting with “A” (Alberta was the answer). Or in the “Four Letter Word” round, what was the first name of a famous Rat Pack crooner (answer: Dean as in Dean Martin). Or in the “Food For Thought” round, what was bought at the ball park besides peanuts in the classic song “Take Me Out To The Ball Game.” (Answer: Cracker Jacks). Or in the all-Canadian round, who sang the classic “Alleluia” tune. (Answer: Leonard Cohen). Connie Moss, one half of the Rivermen duo, delivered the questions again this year, assisted by his wife Donna who operated the recorder which provided the audio clues. Goulbourn Jubilee Singers director
Linda Crawford and her husband Bryn Burnell delivered two audio clues in the form of live duets, bringing a performance perspective to the evening. But their duets, while good, were nothing like the appearance of the Andrews Sisters and the Bugle Boy of Company B about whom they sung. Goulbourn Jubilee Singers Charlotte Parry, Bill Robinson and Elizabeth Douville, along with Bugle Boy Rene Douville, proved to be the hit of the night with their costumed foray into the musical past. Refreshments provided by King’s ValuMart of Richmond, along with draw prizes given away after each round plus two major door prizes drawn at the end of the evening, kept the excitement level high throughout the evening. And a cookies and coffee break really hit the spot as well. Now, with this major fundraiser out of the way, the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers will be concentrating on their upcoming spring concert entitled “Songs from Childhood” which will be presented on Saturday, May 7 at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. For tickets, please contact Elizabeth Douville at 613-838-6078 or Jane Simpson at 613-270-8493.

There’s a frog., a smaller tree frog. an owl who thinks it’s a bear, an elephantt and more, like the psychedelic toad. But that’s not all. There’s Marshmallow Island and the Marshmallow Man. And musical instruments like the “vibra slap”, the “flex tone,” the “talking drum,” the spoons, a Chinese gong and the triangle (or was it the circle or the square?). And if that were not enough, there’s travel to South America, Africa, China and outer space, all in search of Larry the frog’s dad, who is a bullfrog, and the secret of Marshmallow Island. Does all this sound far out and unrelated? Well, it was anything but thanks to the storytelling and musical ability of Liam Epps of Mystic Drumz who presented his interactive percussion performance about the legend of Marshmallow Island to 25 youngsters and their parents at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church hall in Richmond last Saturday, March 5, all thanks to the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School. And Liam could not only talk to Larry the frog and his
friends but his magic words of “Bingo, Bango, Bongo,” chanted in unison with the youngsters, brought forward one after another of Larry’s friends who helped in the search for Larry’s dad and the legend of Marshmallow Island. It was all not only a magical but also a musical experience, as Liam played the “vibra slap” and “flex tone,” two musical instruments that did not look like instruments; a cow bell (Do you know why cows wear bells, he asked – because a cow’s horns do not work!); a talking drum that recites “Mary Had A Little Lamb” and “Happy Birthday” to the youngsters; and a Chinese gong following a magical train trip to China, complete with train whistle. And after playing a couple of drums and jumping and clapping in unison with the youngsters, Liam finally comes upon Larry’s dad, a huge green bulldog who tells the story of the legend of Marshmallow Island which we won’t repeat just in case you ever get to hear it yourself at a Mystic Drumz presentation. Just suffice it to say that Marshmallow Men do exist (there are photos available to prove it). There is a follow-up presenta-
tion called “The Button People” which Mystic Drumz offers as well, following up on this Marsh-
mallow World presentation and once again taking youngsters into the land of fantasy thanks
to drums and percussion musical instruments and the magic of storytelling.

Fire levels home SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
An early morning fire on Sunday, March 6 has destroyed a home on the east side of Munster Road just south of Flewellyn Road in Goulbourn. The Ottawa Fire Service received the call at 4:40 a.m., responding with 40 firefighters and ten vehicles. The fixed mobile home was fully involved when firefighters arrived on the scene. Once it was confirmed that there was no one in the structure, firefighters maintained a defensive attack mode to extinguish the fire. The fire was considered under control
at 5:39 a.m. A male occupant of the home was awake at the time that the fire was first spotted. He attempted to extinguish the fire but was unsuccessful. He then went to a neighbour’s home to call 9-1-1. The fire is believed to have started in a bedroom wall but the cause remains under investigation. Estimated damage by the fire is $150,000 to the home structure and $50,000 in contents. Two dogs and a cat escaped from the fire unharmed. Two adults have been displaced by the fire and are now staying with family.

New week, new winners JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
What a difference a week can make! There was a whole new slate of winners at the euchre party hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday, Feb. 24 compared to those who won the week before on Thursday, Feb. 17. It all depends on the cards! On Thursday, Feb. 24, with 14 tables in play, Daryl Craig took first place, while Theresa Davidson in second and Anne Williams in third. Elmer Raycroft took home the booby prize while the 50/50 draw winners were Lillian Baird and Sharon Cummings. Not everything went winningly for the euchre players on this night. A skunk showed up – just ask Isabelle St. James and Sylvia Yates. Now for the winners on Thursday, Feb. 17 when there were 13 tables in play. Veteran euchre player Garnet Vaughn took first place while his sister Dot Gifford placed second.
Nothing like keeping it in the family. Third place went to Vera Page. Bonnie Sue West took home the booby prize while Jackie Ralph had the hidden score. Door prizes were won by Carolyn Mulligan and Pauline McColgan while the 50/50 draw winners were Brenda Lewis and Liz Marcel. Unlike on the following Thursday, no skunks showed up on this evening. Euchre players are reminded that Thursday, March 17 will be a special evening at the party hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club – it’s St. Paddy’s Day. All players are urged to wear something green as they have fun celebrating this special day and perhaps share in the luck of the Irish that evening. These euchre parties, including the one on Thursday, March 17, get underway at 7:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre. And who knows – you may just go home a winner!

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
The Goulbourn Hornets girls’ major bantam B team buzzed through the opposition in the recent Mike O’Connor Memorial Tournament in Gloucester. And the key to the team’s five straight victories that led to the gold medals was that the Hornets produced a complete team effort in every game. This meant that the opposing teams could not focus on any single Hornets player in trying to stop the Hornets buzz saw pathway to victory in the tournament.
And just what did this pathway to victory involve? A 25-19 win over Brockville to open the tournbament. This was followed by two wins on the Saturday, a 54-27 victory over the GCBA Selects and a 30-24 win over the Ottawa Xelles. In semi-final play, the Hornets met the Ottawa Xelles again and this time won by a 27-16 score. This led to the championship final against Gloucester which the Hornets won 30-22. Emily Mount of the Hornets received the Hustler Award in this championship game.

Hornets buzz to victory
Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Centre
John Leroux - right in the centre of the action Hockey, ball, boxing. John Leroux of Stittsville has not only seen it all, he has been right in the centre of the action. But while sports has played a huge role in his life, it has not been everything. He has served his country in the military; he is a renowned chef and caterer; he is a stalwart at the Stittsville Legion; he was a loyal and enthusiastic municipal employee; and he has been married over 50 years to his wife Patricia. Not bad for a man who at the age of 79 can still be seen riding his bicycle around the community where he has lived for nearly 50 years. It all began for John Leroux in a family of 13 in his birthplace of Pembroke where his father was a cook in the army and in the lumber camps. John followed in his footsteps, working in Mattawa
ing recently gotten married and being urged by his wife to hang up the gloves. After leaving the army, John worked as a chef at a Deep River hotel for several years. Then he received an offer from Dan Tierney who had just built the Richmond Inn Hotel in Richmond to become the chef there. So, in 1964, he accepted the offer and moved to this area, buying a home in Stittsville in which he still lives. He started a catering business, an enterprise which began when he was approached by Ray Bell, Frank Argue, Ian Colpitts and Sterling Warner about catering two Sportsmen’s Dinners as fundraisers for the new Stittsville District Community Centre, thus beginning a 20 year experience as a caterer. It was about this time that he was approached by Paul Wylie and Gary Murphy of the Goulbourn Township Parks and Recreation Department about
The Stittsville District Community Centre is now to be called the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Centre. John Leroux is probably the most recognizable face around the Stittsville arena and has been ever since it opened. He even helped in the arena’s construction leading up to its opening in 1971 and participated in fundraising walkathons for it and even catered to two fundraising dinners for it, beginning a 20 year career as a part-time caterer from 1972 through 1992. He has become a beloved household name in Stittsville, serving as a referee for the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association from 1972 through 1999. John
Leroux
He also refereed n men’s hockey, stopping only five years ago. He coached minor hockey teams from 1972 for 14 years but it is really in oldtimers’ hockey where John made his lasting mark. He was founder of the Stittsville Merchant Selects who hosted numerous tournaments in the Stittsville arena in the 1980’s and 1990’s. From 1988 to 1994, various Stittsville oldtimers’ teams won numerous gold medals in the Can-Am Tournaments at Lake Placid, all with John as the coach. Johnny himself played into his 50’s. He played in the Stittsville Town Hockey League when he first moved to Stittsville in 1964 and helped restart the league when the Stittsville arena opened in 1971. He started an age 30 and over men’s league in 1978, playing and coaching and even refereeing for the next nine years until he began his involvement with the Merchant Selects. He is now mainly a hockey fan, often at the arena, although he still works as a timekeeper at men’s league games.
being the township’s parks manager. He admits that he knew nothing about parks but he got the job which he held for 16 years until retirement in 1990. It has been for his involvement in community sports in Stittsville that John Leroux has really become a beloved household name. Refereeing, coaching both ball and hockey, and oldtimers hockey in particular. And, perhaps more importantly, he has been a fan of all these community sports. Over the years, John developed a reputation for maintaining ball diamonds. He was in charge of diamond maintenance for a midget All-Ontario Championship and for a number of All-Ontario Men’s Championships at Carlington Park in Ottawa. John has combined his love of sports with his involvement with the Royal Canadian Legion in Stittsville, spending 14 years as chair of minor sports for
the Legion. This included ball, hockey and soccer. He inaugurated the successful annual poppy blitz in which a dozen or so minor hockey teams blitz the
community for the Legion at poppy time. This exposes the young players to the concept of Remembrance, getting them involved as they wear their team jerseys on blitz day.
John Leroux, a Korean War veteran, lays a wreath on Remembrance Day.
A Korean War veteran, he combined his love of sports with his involvement with the Royal Canadian Legion in Stittsville, spending 14 years as chair of minor sports for the Legion. His involvement with sports has gone beyond hockey. A former Canadian army champion boxer, he started a boxing club in the community in 1975. Starting in 1970, Johnny coached a bantam girls’ ball team, sat on the executive of the Stittsville Fringewood Ball Association and did a lot of umpiring at all levels. He was instrumental in the formation of a men’s recreational fastball league in the late 1970’s, both coaching and umpiring in the league.

as a cook and then going on to work in construction in North Bay. He then decided to join the army, a move that he has never regretted. “I was never so happy I made that move,” he says, looking back on that decision. He was to stay in the army for nine years including a stint in the Korean War. But sports were a big part of his life, even as a youngster. “I was always for sports,” he says. The army is associated with fighting and that is just what John did, not only as a soldier but as a boxer. As a featherweight, he won the Camp Petawawa championship in 1953. He followed this up with the Canadian army championship in 1954, a provincial championship in 1956 and the Dominion championship in 1957, retiring undefeated. In 1959, he won the Golden Gloves competition in Montreal and then retired, hav-

The Goulbourn Hornets bantam boys’ basketball team went international recently. The Hornets were the only Canadian team to play in the Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club’s Grade 7/8 Youth Basketball Tournament on the weekend of Feb. 19/20. All of the other teams were from northern New York State. In addition, the Hornets were
the only team comprised exclusively of grade 7 players. But the Hornets performed well on foreign soil and returned home with the second place trophies. Indeed, the Hornets only lost to the powerful and big host Ogdensburg team, once in round robin play and then again in the championship final. In this championship final, Ogdensburg used its size, skill and experience to open up a 40-17 lead at half time.

Members of the Goulbourn Hornets bantam boys’ basketball team, second place finishers in the recent Ogdensburg Boys and Girls Club Grade 7/8 Youth Basketball Tournament, are, front row, left to right, Riley Roy, Andrew Evraire, Daniel Byron, Aaron Clausen and Quintin Ashitei; and, back row, left to right, Liam Dobson, Cole Seabrook, Kaelen Adams, Adam Hosny, Adam Whitmore, Shandon Ashitei and coach Dan Byron. Missing is coach Dave Dobson.
The Hornets continued to play hard in the second half but the powerful Ogdensburg squad ended up winning 60-28, taking the championship while the Hornets had to settle for a runnerup second place finish in the tournament. What a tournament it was, though, as the Hornets dispatched all comers except for the mighty Ogdensburg squad. The Hornets won their first two games of round robin play, defeating Canton by a score of 59-25 and then turning back Lisbon 66-20. In their last round robin game, the Hornets went up against the Ogdensburg team and its big, skilled lineup for the first time. The result was a 62-33 loss. The Hornets’ record of two wins and only one loss in the round robin portion of the tournament saw them advance to quarter-final action against the Canton team. Up against an aggressive, physical style of play, the Hornets prevailed, leading 21-13 at half time and eventually winning by a 38-24 count. This took the Hornets to the semifinals where they met the second ranked and undefeated Thousand Islands team. Boy, was it close! The Hornets led only 22-21 at half time but then they pulled away in the second half to win 57-45, gaining a berth in the championship final against Ogdensburg. The Hornets turned aside the Thousand Islands squad thanks to a good transition game and getting the ball inside, either to score or to draw a foul. The Hornets also were successful in containing the Thousand Islands’ best player.

Move over, Cinderella SPECIAL TO THE NEWS It’s a Cinderella story that isn’t over yet. Winning five consecutive playoff games in overtime. Goalie Melanie Dodd-Moher of Stittsville stopping 201 of the 207 shots she faced in these five games. And the Queen’s University Gales women’s hockey team winning the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championship for the first time in 32 years. Could it get any better than this? It may as the team now goes on to play in the national championship and the way that the “hockey gods” have been smiling on this team in this year’s playoff hockey, who knows what will happen. The Cinderella Gaels may end up as Canada’s champion university women’s hockey team.
Goalie Melanie Dodd-Moher of Stittsville, a South Carleton High School graduate and now a second year biology major at Queen’s, has played a big part in the team’s amazing success to date, compiling a save percentage of 0.971 in the team’s five playoff games, all of which went into overtime. The Gaels fine play began during the season in the ten team OUA league when, after a slow start, the Gaels had to win 10 of their last 12 regular season games just to make the playoffs. And even then, their playoff picture did not look bright, as most of their playoff opponents were ranked in the top ten teams nationally. In a sudden death quarter final playoff game against the University of Windsor, the Gales scored in the second overtime
period to win by a 2-1 score and move on in the playoffs. Chapter number one in their Cinderella playoff story was completed. It was then on to a best of three semi-final series against none other than the Laurier Golden Hawks, the seven time defending OUA champions. Gulp! What a task! The Gaels, though, shocked Laurier, winning 2-1 on Laurier’s home ice in the first game of the series, with the winning goal scored in the second overtime period. It was the first time in 16 years, stretching over eight playoff games, that Queen’s had beaten Laurier in a playoff encounter. It was back to Queen’s for the second game of this playoff series and it was more of the same. The game developed as a goaltending duel between Melanie Dodd-Moher in the Queen’s goal and Liz Knox, last year’s Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) player of the year Liz Knox
in the Laurier net. Laurier took the lead midway through the second period but Queen’s tied the game in the third and then scored the winner midway through the second overtime period. Another overtime win, another playoff series victory for the Gaels. The Laurier Hawks, a team ranked second nationally, was sent to the sidelines. Chapter two in this Cinderella story was written. The Gaels then travelled to Guelph to play the always strong University of Guelph Gryphons. And as if things could not get any better for the Cinderella Gaels, it did – they won this first game in the best of three championship series again by a 2-1 score but that was not the amazing thing. What was truly unbelievable and has gone into the record books is that the Gaels and the Gryphons battled to the longest game in collegiate hockey history. The game went on for an unbelievable six overtime periods before the Gaels won. The game lasted a total of 167 minutes and 14 seconds, making it not only the longest university hockey game ever but making it the second longest hockey game on record,
surpassed only by a 1936 National Hockey league game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Maroons which lasted just nine minutes longer. After this overtime thriller, the second game of the championship series was back on the Gaels home ice in Kingston. The Gaels fell behind 2-0 but a couple of spectacular stops by goalie Melanie Dodd-Moher late in the second period gave the Gaels a boost. She stopped a Guelph breakaway and then followed that up with another great stop. It was shortly after that the Gaels scored and got back in the game. In the third period, the Gaels tied up the game and then once again went into overtime where they grabbed victory and the OUA championship, scoring in the last second of the first overtime period. Chapter three of this Cinderella tale was completed. What Chapter four brings at the national championship remains to be written. But with five consecutive playoff game victories, a hot goalie and a rare Ontario university championship under their belts, anything is possible. Stay tuned!

Logo for Richmond Children and Youth Centre JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
He knows all about what the Richmond Children and Youth Centre (RCYC) at the Richmond Plaza offers because he is a regular there. So it is not surprising that his winning entry in the Youth Centre’s logo contest features evidence of the many activities that youth can enjoy there. There’s a pool cue, balls, a basketball, a computer game controller, a ping pong paddle, a soccer ball …. all punctuated by a youth standing erect over the soccer ball, like an exclamation point, at the end of the letters RCYC. Fifteen year old Mark Budd is not only a regular attendee at the Richmond Children and Youth Centre, playing pool there with his father every Friday evening, but also he is a blossoming artist, not only as indicated by his logo contest win but also from his success in previous contests and from work done at his school, Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School. And his winning design took him only about half an hour to accomplish. He started with the letters RCYC and decided to include something to indicate everything that goes on in the Youth Centre room which is located at the Richmond Plaza in Richmond. He says that he just kept adding objects until the logo was completed. Mark not only submitted the win-
ning entry in the RCYC logo contest but he also submitted two others, one of which may now be used by the youth group at Richmond’s Grace Assembly church. It features a cross with elaborate wings on it, along with RCYC lettering. This entry took Mark about an hour to do because of the detailing on the wings. The idea stemmed from a bible which his brother has which has wings on it. “It was pretty simple for that one,” Mark says about this entry and the inspiration that led to its creation. Mark also submitted an entry featured two silhouettes, admitting that he has always liked drawing shadow characters. Mark likes to draw, something he has done since childhood. “One of the main things I do is just draw,” he says, explaining that he does it mainly for fun but has entered other contests. He advanced to the regional stage at a contest at his school and won Halloween and Christmas themed art contests held by the former Stittsville Weekender community newspaper. He has also drawn a giant Superman figure at his school and has now been asked to do a wall mural there, featuring a knight and a castle. Mark also draws cartoons and he and his brother Lucas, 13, are currently working on developing a cartoon strip. Getting the story line for such a strip is the current challenge. Mark remains committed to the
Richmond Children and Youth Centre, saying that he enjoys hanging out with the people there every Friday evening. He says that he tries to try a little of all of the activities there – pool, the games, ping pong, etc. The Richmond Children and Youth Centre at the Richmond Plaza is open on Fridays from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with all youth between the ages of 8 and 18 welcome to attend. The Richmond Children and Youth Centre is a place for youth and children whose mandate is to bring about a positive and creative impact on youth in the Richmond community. The youth centre tries to provide a secure and safe environment that fosters a positive sense of self worth through programs that promote physical, mental, emotional and social development in the youth of the community. The youth centre, initially created by the Grace Assembly Pentecostal Church in January 2007 and operated as a church initiative for the community, is moving towards being a separate organization run by the community for the community. It is currently entering into a sponsorship partnership with the Richmond Village Association which has agreed to provide a degree of funding for the youth centre. The Grace Assembly church will still be involved, providing the space at the Richmond Plaza and supporting the youth centre in other ways but it will become a community organization.

Huskies take championship in two straight games JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
The Sacred Heart Huskies are the champs in high school girls’ hockey. The Huskies will be off to the high school provincial championships in Stratford to try to capture the Ontario title which
eluded them last year when the championships were held at the Bell Sensplex in Kanata. The Huskies defeated the John McCrae Secondary School squad in two straight games in their best-of-three championship final to win the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association (NCSSAA)
tier 1 AAA/AAAA girls’ hockey championship. The opening game on Tuesday, March 1 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville saw the Huskies win 3-2 after two overtime periods and a shootout. In the second game of the series on Thursday, March 3 at the
Walter Baker Centre in Nepean, John McCrae jumped out into a 1-0 lead early in the game but the Huskies came back to tie it up 1-1 before the end of the first period. After a scoreless second period, it looked like the game was headed to overtime before the Huskies scored with only one
minute and 16 seconds to go in regulation time to notch a 2-1 victory and the NCSSAA championship. Playing for the Huskies are goalies Caroline Switalski, Kendra DePippo and Mati Barrett and players Samantha Bureau, Erin Sauve, Chelsea Lefebvre, Casey Leblanc, Amanda Titus, Katelyn Fournier, Emma Weir, Rebecca Waterhouse, MacKenzie Lalonde, Ainslie Cordina, Jessica Pomeroy, Keira St. Laurent, Melissa Fournier, Myf Thomson, Kayla Schaefer, Ashton Marshall and Beverly McCarthy. The team is coached by Sylvain Croteau, Mark Byrne, Nick Brisson and Mike Scerbo.

Holding the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association’s AAA/AAAA girls’ hockey championship trophy which the Sacred Heart High School Huskies won after a two game sweep of John McCrae Secondary School in the playoff finals on Thursday, March 3 are, from left to right, Rebecca Waterhouse, Melissa Fournier, Keira St. Laurent and MacKenzie Lalonde.
Kayla Schaefer of the Sacred Heart High School Huskies controls the puck in playoff action against the John McCrae Secondary School squad in high school girls’ hockey at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville on Tuesday, March 1.
The game marked the end of the season for the Robert Morris University Colonials women’s hockey team. But the game also marked a record setting day for Robert Morris player Brianna Delaney of Stittsville. Her second period assist broke the school’s single season record for assists and she became the first Colonial in program history to register 50 career helpers. Her assist also pushed her season point total to an even 30, making her the first student athlete in school history to collect at least three 30 point seasons. She has reached this plateau in all three of her seasons at Robert Morris University. Brianna’s record breaking assist was even more noteworthy since it helped her youngster sister, sophomore Cobina Delaney, score. It was the second time in two straight games that Cobina scored on a play assisted by Brianna. Indeed, this continued a season long trend in that seven of Cobina’s eight goals this past season have been assisted by Brianna. Brianna and Cobina are both graduates of Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville.

Etiquette on display at Museum SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Etiquette, anyone? The fascinating social etiquette of the 19th century will be on display, front and centre, at the Goulbourn Museum on Sunday, March 20 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. At this special afternoon event, two new exhibits focusing on the etiquette of the past will be on display: “More Than Manners” and “The Royal Treatment.” These two exhibits will take you back to a time when social etiquette controlled what people
wore, what they said and what they did. The new exhibits showcase the 19th century etiquette that applied to men, women and children. The exhibits are reinforced with artefacts and photographs from these 19th century days. Indeed, this will be the first time that many of these artefacts are on display at the Museum. There will also be interactive games associated with these exhibits. These new games and activities have been developed by the Museum to accompany these exhibits. These include “Royal Romance:” Do You Know
$5,000 goal reached
Your Royal Couples?”. This afternoon event is open to everyone, with no admission charge. It is replacing the Museum’s Heritage Day event planned for the recent Family Day on Feb. 21 which had to be postponed due to renovations which were underway at the Museum at the time. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road, just south of Stittsville at Stanley’s Corners. For more information, visit www.goulbour nmuseum.ca, call 613-831-2393 or email education@goulbournmuseum.ca.

Hannah Hempinstall did it – with a little help from her friends. The grade 7 student had set a goal of $5,000 in fundraising for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation from the recent Dance 4 Diabetes at Goulbourn Middle School. The event just about got there and so Hannah kept collecting pledges post-event, even sending out a plea on Facebook to try to reach the goal. An Ottawa-based business, Elderhealth Resources, provided the final pledge of $189 to enable the $5,000 goal set by Hannah to be reached.
room at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road in Richmond. A second registration session is slated for Tuesday, March 22 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the St. John’s Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street in Richmond.

At a school assembly on Tuesday, March 1, representatives of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) were on hand to accept the $5,000 raised by Goulbourn Middle School in its Dance 4 Diabetes. Ron Spiller, JDRF regional manager for North Eastern Ontario, thanked the school for its efforts, not only in fundraising but in increasing awareness about diabetes. Others from JDRF in attendance at the assembly were Robyn Ketner, JDRF fundraising and outreach development coordinator, and Kerry Winnemore, JDRF manager for fundraising and development.
The skunks are usually out at the Thursday evening euchre parties hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville. Perhaps that’s why perfume is a frequent accessory for the female players. But this is causing a problem and it’s all related to allergies. The euchre players have a number of folks who suffer from perfume allergies and as a result, the Lions euchre party is becoming a hardship for them. Lions Club organizers are now putting out a plea that the euchre players attending these Thursday evening parties think of their fellow players, particu-
larly those with perfume allergies, and not wear perfume to the event. This will make it more pleasant for all and the whiff of the skunks will just have to be tolerated. On Thursday, March 3, with 15 tables in play, the skunks were out. Just ask Jean Howell and Shawn Cassidy. There was a tie at the top at this euchre party, with Garnet Vaughn and Oslar Johnston tied. Third place went to Jackie Ralph. Paul Riddell had the hidden score while Andy Hall won the booby prize. Randy Clouthier took home the door prize while the 50/50 draw winners were Cleo Murray and Sylvia Yates.

Lynn Chilcott’s work at Stittsville library JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Big Surf. Morning Mist. Ghost Trees. Blue Ridge. Land’s End. What is the common thread linking all of these seemingly disparate titles? Well, all five are among the works of art now on display in the Artspace area of the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. And all five are the product, either artistically or photographically, of artist Lynn Chilcott of Nepean. “Big Surf ” is an acrylic painting, one of nine framed paintings done by Ms. Chilcott which are now hanging on the Artspace wall in the rear right corner of the Stittsville library. “Morning Mist” is one of the watercolour paintings on the wall while “Blue Ridge” is a watercolour that is not on the wall but in the adjacent display case. “Ghost Trees,” a photograph showing a scene from the coast of Oregon, and “Land’s End,” another photograph taken at Key West in Florida, are both in this display case as well, along with five other framed photographs. These are all the product of the creative genius of Lynn Chilcott and they will be on display at the Artspace area of the library through to the end of March. Some are even for sale for those who are interested, with prices ranging from $65 to $100. Ms. Chilcott was asked by Bonnie Foster of the Stittsville library to exhibit
her work in the Artspace area, as the two formerly worked together in the Nepean library system and as a result, Bonnie was aware of Ms. Chilcott’s artistic and photographic talents. Lynn Chilcott first picked up an artist’s

brush in 1988 while living in England. She found the inspiration for her art in the lushness of the gardens and landscape as well as the architecture of the land. She studied with British watercolour artist Brian Parrish and at the Royal West of England Academy of Arts before returning to the Ottawa area in 1992. She had grown up in Ottawa and studied at Carleton University before going on to the University of British Columbia where she took courses in the history of art. Since returning to Ottawa, she has continued to paint and has studied with several Ottawa area artists. She has had a solo exhibition of her work at the Atrium Gallery in the foyer of the former Nepean city hall and has participated in various exhibitions at the Ottawa Little Theatre and the Nepean Visual Arts Centre. A member of the Nepean Fine Arts League, her paintings can be found in private collections in Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, England and the United Arab Emirates. She continues to work in her first love which is watercolours but more and more she finds herself drawn to the vibrancy found in acrylics. But whatever the medium that she uses, Ms. Chilcott is interested in trying to capture her impressions of what she sees and feels about the world around her, not its reality. Everyone is invited to drop by the Stittsville library this month and view Ms. Chilcott’s work that is on display.
Music Fest SPECIAL TO THE NEWS
An invitation to the National Musicfest in British Columbia. That’s what the South Carleton High School senior concert band performance at the Capital Region Music Fest on Friday, Feb. 25 earned. Unfortunately, the band, while elated to receive this first ever invitation to this national competition for a SCHS concert band, will not be making the trip west in May for the event. It does, though, hope to perform at next year’s National Musicfest which is scheduled to be held right here in the Ottawa area. The SC senior concert band, under the direction of music teacher Mrs. Sarah Woods, won a silver standing at the Capital Region Music Festival in order to earn its invitation. The band impressed both the judges and the audience at the Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata with its renditions of three musical selections: “In All Its Glory,” “Heaven’s Light” and “Quality Plus.” Now it’s the turn of the SCHS senior jazz band which will be performing in the Capital Region Music Fest this coming Saturday, March 5. This year marks the Capital Music Fest’s 36th year of showcasing the musical talent of high school students in the Ottawa area. The first week of the Capital Region Music Fest competition, running from Feb. 24 to Feb. 27, saw 80 concert bands and ensembles performing.
