Queen’s University footballer Sam Sabourin of Stittsville has tackled three more awards. He already had pulled down the Ontario University Athletics rookie of the year honours following the season. Now he has grabbed three more awards, just like he latched onto 50 opposing ball carriers in making solo tackles during the season, setting a Queens team record. At the Queen’s Gaels annual football banquet on Saturday, March 26 in Kingston, Sam received the Royal Todd Memorial Award as the team’s rookie of the year as well as the Lou Bruce Memorial Award as defensive player of the year. The Royal Todd Award was first presented in 1929 while the Lou Bruce Award goes back to 1985. Sam, a graduate of South Carleton High School in Richmond, had an outstanding rookie season with the Gaels, starting off with a bang when he set a team record for solo tackles in a game in his first-ever university game. He ended up the season ranked third in the national Canadian Interuniversity Sport football statistics with 64 total tackles including 50 solo tackles. See THREE AWARDS, page 4

Head-on demo - Smashing! JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
It was, to say the least, a smashing success – and we really do mean smashing. It was the Demolition Van portion of the 11th annual 1st Stittsville Scouts Show & Race in Stittsville on Saturday, April 2. This is where so-called Demolition Vans, the larger and fiercer version of the Kub Kars of Cubs, speed down a ramp and
smash head-on into another one coming along the track from the other similarlyelevated end of the ramp. The resultant collision brings cheers and reaction from the crowd of Cubs, Scouts, Venturers, Scout leaders and parents watching the action in a Stittsville District Community Centre hall bearing all the trappings of a NASCAR speedway including checkered flag decorations.

protruding front pipe embedding itself into the unfortunate opposing van. This was not the end of racing for the Chappell Demolition Van. After the Venturers’ Demolition Van competition, it was entertainment time again, with the Chappell vehicle against Venturer Vans. It made quick work of a coconut-adorned van but then, on its second run down the ramp, the Chappell Van smashed into Mitchell Honcoop’s Mickey Mousethemed Van, knocking it off the track. But in so doing, the Chappell Van suffered front end damage and was retired for the day. This Demolition Van action was followed by the Cubs’ Kub Kar racing, using three tracks which the Kub Kars raced along, three abreast, with the results tabulated. Each Kub Kar raced down each track. Many of these Kub Kars were weighted down with loonies or pennies, meant to give them more weight and hence increased speed. There were white ones, purple ones, black ones, orange ones, yellow ones – you name it and there was probably a Kub Kar to fit that description. There was one designed like a tank; there was one with stripes; there was quite an array, something which made the judging of the Kub Kars for their appearance by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Scouter Kevin Chappell a difficult one at best. You knew that you were in for a racing treat even when approaching the arena as there was a sign at the doorway quite simply stating “Welcome Race Fans,”
honours were Katelyn Langlois with her yellow school bus, first; Remi Gelinas, second; and Marley Kennelly, third. The Vans judged to have “best detail” were those of Michael McAsey, first, for his yellow airplane; Caitlin Dawson, second, for her frog design; and Tarah Dorval, third, for her rainbow coloured one. The race winners for the Scouts were Patrick McIntosh, first; Erik Holmes, second; and Marco Gregory, third. Mitchell Honcoop, with his Mickey Mouse themed Van, won “best of show” honours for the Venturers while Jonathan Redpath was the race winner.

From page 1 These Demolition Vans are built by Scouts and Venturers to live up to their name, that is, to demolish the opponent. Some have nails protruding out of their front; others have a battery of screws; the design is limitless but the aim is the same – the creation of a vehicle that will do the utmost damage in a front end collision with another van. And, indeed, damage and impact are the goals. Judging rests on two factors – how much damage does a Demolition Van do to its opponent and how far it knocks this other van off the track. But the largest crowd reactions reverberated through the hall this year when some of these Demolition Vans took on, head to head, the oversized and apparently invincible Demolition Van of Scout leader Kevin Chappell. The first Demolition Vans to face this monster van were the Demolition Vans of five Scouts who had emerged in a tie for a placing after the compulsory two rounds of racing or, more appropriately, demolishing. A big crowd roar went up when the first collision happened, one of such ferocity that even Kevin Chappell’s seemingly indestructible van suffered damage, forcing him to take a quick timeout and visit the repair table and its glue gun to effect needed remedial work. The Chappell van was back in action soon, knocking two opposing vans right off the track, one with the pennies used for extra weight flying all over the place, before finishing off a final van with its
adorned with two checkered flags. And while the Demolition Van collisions brought forth the crowd roars, their appearance was also worthy of attention. One was designed like a yellow school bus; another had musical notes painted all over it; another looked like a frog; another featured flashing lights; another was designed like a plane, complete with wings and with a flowing banner behind it, advocating no violence; and there was one promoting the Stittsville Food Bank, with a can on top. When it was all said and done, the Demolition Vans earning “best of show”

Three awards for Sam Sabourin
From page 1 Along the way, he earned two Ontario University Athletics Defensive Player of the Week honours and one Canadian Interuniversity Sport Player of the Week designation. Sam followed up this two award performance at the football banquet by capturing the Alfie Pierce Trophy as the top male rookie among varsity team athletes at Queen’s University over the past year. This was awarded at Queen’s 75th annual varsity team athletic banquet on Tuesday, March 29. This Alfie Pierce Trophy was first presented in 1947, making it another longtime prestigious athletic award given at Queen’s. Sam’s coaches, both present and past, could not be happier for him or more praiseworthy of him. Pat Tracey, the defensive coordinator for Queen’s, first worked with Sam at the Canada Cup national football tournament where Sam starred for the U17 Team Ontario squad. He says that Sam made an impact right from the first day of training camp at Queen’s, arriving well prepared and demonstrating a high level of skill development and knowledge of defensive systems. This earned him a starting linebacker position within the first week of camp. “He has all the attributes a coach is hoping for in an athlete – strength, speed, agility, mental toughness and a passion for the game,” coach Tracey says in an email about Sam, noting that Sam is always studying the game, asking questions and going over both game and practice film. “Sam is a humble young man who has set his goals high,” coach Tracey says. “Like other young athletes he must continue to develop his vocal leadership, look forward and ultimately elevate his teammates to a championship level.” Jim Wagdin of Richmond, a longtime coach and organizer with the Bell Warriors Football Club, coached Sam for a couple of years during some of his minor football involvement with the Bell Warriors. He compares Sam with other Bell Warrior graduates like Justin Phillips of Stittsville, who plays for the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League, and Scott Mitchell, a highly regarded player at Rice University in the United States, in terms of what they share in common, namely a strong work ethic and talent. But for coach Wagdin, Sam’s greatest strength is that he is highly coachable. This, coach Wagdin says, is the highest compliment that he can pay a player. He notes Sam’s physical attributes and skill and combined with his coachability, his work ethic and his focus on football, he believes that Sam has an unlimited future in the sport. “He has a very bright future ahead of him,” he says about Sam, adding that he congratulates Sam on his award ac-
complishments, knowing the amount of effort that Sam has put into football over the years. And as for Sam himself, he just cannot say enough about the support and help that he has received both this year and in the past from his teammates, his coaches, his family and others, all of whom have helped him reach where he is today. With regard to his teammates, Sam writes in an email that all season long, his teammates mentored him - in the film room, on the field, in the classroom and in the Queens community in general. He attributes much of his smooth transition to university football to this mentoring, especially the leadership shown by the senior players. He gives particular acknowledgment to teammate Aaron Gazendam who has been his training partner during the past year at Queens. He says that Adam helped push him and keep in on the straight and narrow path as an athlete and also as a student. Sam also acknowledges the work of the Queens coaching staff and their efforts in helping the players succeed not only in football but in life. He also praises the work of the equipment staff and those in the athletic and academic departments at the university. Sam also thanks his parents and relatives for being his biggest supporters and fans and for supporting him in his football, especially taking him to football practices in minor football and watching all of his games. He says that not only his teammates but also fellow students, tutors and the Queen’s athlete coordinator have all helped him balance his athletic career with his academics. Sam says that the level of competition at the university football level forced him to make some adjustments in his play but he attributes much of his success this past season to being as mentally ready as possible for each and every game. He notes that having a defensive line that did an outstanding job this season made his job as a linebacker much easier. As for his future goals, Sam simply wants to do whatever he can to help Queens get back to the Vanier Cup, which marks supremacy in university football in Canada. He admits that he will have to become more of a vocal leader for the team in the coming season. As well as film room work, an off-season recovery program to heal from injuries, a weight lifting program, morning runs and a spring training camp that has now begun, Sam has also been following training programs provided to him by the Ottawa Sports Performance Centre, an organization that he has been training with for the past three years. Sam is majoring in physical education at Queen’s and he has particularly enjoyed his sociology of sport class which has shed a new light on the world of sports for him.

periods against Guelph in game one of the Ontario University Athletics championship playoffs. This game made hockey history as it is officially the longest collegiate game, either male or female, ever played. Melanie’s goaltending was a key reason why the Gaels won seven playoff games to capture the Ontario University Athletics championship which was the first such championship for a Queen’s women’s hockey team in 32 seasons. The Gaels then went on to win the bronze medal in the national Canadian Interuniversity Sport championship tournament. Melanie finished the playoffs with an unheard of 1.09 goals against average and a .961 save percentage. This performance earned her Canadian Interuniversity Sport all-star status.

Jack MacLaren gets PC nod JOHN CURRY

Jack MacLaren
The Ottawa Senators did not make the hockey playoffs this year. Longtime provincial MPP Norm Sterling is not making the political playoffs i.e. the upcoming provincial election this year. The Senators fell short of their playoffs due to a season of poor goaltending, underachieving play and injuries. Norm Sterling fell short of carrying his party’s banner into the Oct. 6 provincial election due to a loss to challenger Jack MacLaren in the Carleton-Mississippi riding’s Progressive Conservative party nomination meeting on Thursday, March 31 at Scotiabank Place, home of the Ottawa Senators.
The site of the nomination meeting was moved to Scotiabank Place from Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville because of the crowd expected after both camps – Sterling and MacLaren – went on a party membership selling blitz to try to have the most supporters at the nomination meeting. Only party members signed up by March 10 could vote at the nomination meeting. It turned out that over 1300 members of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding association registered to vote at the event which took place on the covered-over ice surface, with supporters of both candidates sitting in chairs in front of the giant stage on the ice slab as well as in the 100 section seats on both sides of the arena – probably 400 on the ice slab and about 500 sitting on each side.
GIVE YOUR LAWN EVERYTHING IT NEEDS... ...AND NOTHING IT DOESN’T! PROGRAMS STARTING AT $39.00/VISIT*
The event had the trappings of a nomination meeting, with signs for both Sterling and, to a far lesser degree, MacLaren seen around the arena. But the real sign battle was in the war of the hand held signs, all proclaiming four-letter support – some for “Norm” and some, visually more, for “Jack.” Things were to get underway on the floor at 7:30 p.m. but delays in closing voter registration meant that it was not until 8 p.m. that the candidate speeches began. First up was the 69 year old, 34 year MPP incumbent for the area, Norm Sterling, who was introduced by Riding Association president Steven Lewis of Ashton, a former Goulbourn township councillor, who described Mr. Sterling as “a behind-the-scenes politician, getting what needs to be done done,” as well as by a Nortel pensioner and federal politician John Baird. “He is one of the greatest parliamentarians ever to serve in the Ontario Legislature,” Mr. Baird proclaimed about Mr. Sterling. In his speech, Mr. Sterling was outspoken about his opposition to any expansion of the Carp Road landfill as it being proposed now. Criticizing the current Liberal provincial government for not diverting enough waste from landfills, he spoke of his private member’s bill that would ban all organics from landfills, thus eliminating the need for more landfills at this time. “I will use every ounce of my energy to oppose this landfill expansion,” he said. “It will not happen.” Goulbourn farmer Tom Black introduced candidate Jack MacLaren at the meeting, starting with a simple “Hello, folks,” and telling how Mr. MacLaren is a West Carleton cash crop farmer, a professional engineer and a former president of the Ontario Landowners Association. “To me, Jack is a pretty well rounded individual,” Mr. Black said in his introduction. Mr. MacLaren, who has been married for 31 years and has three daughters, gave his view of his actions: “I say what I do and I do what I say.” He lamented that society today has become over-regulated, with unnecessary and wrongful regulations, with government becoming too big, too expensive and too controlling. He said that he believes in small government, low taxes and minimal regulation, with the government there to serve the people. Following the speeches, voting began, taking only about 30 minutes for all those present to cast their ballots. It was only about an hour later when the two candidates, with their wives, showed up back on the stage, before a sparse crowd of about 100 who had lingered on after the voting. There it was announced that Jack MacLaren had won the voting and would be the official Progressive Conservative candidate in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding in the Oct. 6 provincial election. No figures were released but it is believed the margin of victory was somewhere in the 100 range. 453661

Sacred Heart High School student Teddy Hillary is a beautiful person. This goes not only for her appearance as evidenced by the fact that she is the current Miss Teen Ottawa and will be participating in the Miss Teen Canada pageant in Toronto in July but also for her actions as she regularly helps the homeless in downtown Ottawa and has just recently returned from a church-sponsored mission trip to New Orleans to help underprivileged youth there. Now, that’s true beauty. Teddy, 16 and in grade 11, is looking forward to the future, not only participating in the Miss Teen Canada pageant in July but also in making future trips to Haiti and India to help out there. She got involved in the Miss Teen Canada pageant to fulfill a long-held desire, noting that doing well in the pageant is a doorway to possible mod-
eling and acting roles in the future. She also feels that participation in the pageant gives her the opportunity to be a positive role model as a representative of her city of Ottawa. Teddy has plans to attend Ryerson in Toronto in the future, taking broadcast journalism. She wants to do this as she feels that being involved in journalism would give her an opportunity to be able to let people know how they can get involved in helping others. She herself travelled with a youth church group to New Orleans during March Break where she and the others worked with underprivileged youth including those at a youth detention centre and at a teen crisis pregnancy centre. It is this same attitude to help others that sees Teddy in downtown Ottawa on Saturdays, helping the homeless by serving them meals and talking with them. And this is why she wants to travel
Teddy Hillary to both Haiti and India to help those in need there. Indeed, if she does well in the Miss Teen Canada pageant and ends up winning some of the thousands up for grabs in prize money, she will be spending the funds travelling to these far-off places to help out. “After I get the crown and sash, I’m on my way,” she says.
The Miss Teen Canada pageant has bathing suit and formal wear components but the judging is also based on an interview about community involvement . There are optional areas such as talent and even writing an essay. Teddy acknowledges that there is stress involved in participating as well as physical endurance. She notes that aching feet can be a problem, brought on by wearing high heeled shoes for extended periods, walking in the way prescribed for models and wearing long formal dresses. Teddy used to be involved with competitive cheerleading, both at Sacred Heart and with the Capital City Storm team. She stepped away from it this year to focus on her pageant involvement but she hopes to go back to it. She sees a connection between the cheerleading and pageant involvement, as both provide an opportunity to motivate others and to be a positive role model.

EDITORIAL
This riding’s the place to be These are interesting political times in these here parts. The next five-plus months promise to be some of the most fascinating to hit this area in some time. Yes, indeed – Carleton-Mississippi Mills is becoming a political hotbed. It is a widely diverse and extensive riding, incorporating both urban and rural sections as it includes Richmond, Stittsville, Kanata, West Carleton and Mississippi Mills which includes Almonte. The upcoming federal election on May 2 sees an electoral battle between two retired generals – one army (the Conservatives’ incumbent MP Gordon O’Connor) and one air force (Karen McCrimmon of the Liberals). Mr. O’Connor won by a wide, wide
margin in the last election and has had a high profile in the federal Conservative government. So, he comes into this election from a position of well proven strength. Karen McCrimmon has impeccable credentials in what she accomplished in her military career, especially as a groundbreaking woman commander. And, indeed, one reform that needs doing in the federal parliament is the presence of more female MP’s. But whether the Carleton-Mississippi Mills will be the place where this reform action takes hold remains to be seen. All we know for sure is that Carleton-Mississippi Mills has a compelling race underway and we hope that it entices a massive
turnout, at the very least. That will be good for the riding and good for Canadian democracy. And yet this federal campaign is just the start. There is still the Oct. 6 provincial election to come. The Ontario Progressive Conservatives will have Jack MacLaren, a former president of the Ontario Landowners Association, as their standard bearer in this election. Who the Liberals will run is still up in the air but Liberals have traditionally not done well in the riding. What is most intriguing, though, is that rumours are circulating that Mr. Sterling may run as an independent in the election after having lost the PC nomination to Mr. MacLaren. Wouldn’t that liven things up? Isn’t democracy wonderful?

Winning the right to be left alone in a noisy age There’s a story here predicting that digital books will eventually outsell the real kind. According to an article in Fortune magazine, the number of ereaders sold this year will be 18 million, compared with 900,000 two years ago. The people who buy those shiny, glowing things will want electronic books to read on them. And so it goes. Already, newspaper book review sections are beginning to list electronic bestsellers alongside the traditional ones. There are a number of ways to look at this. There is the sentimental way, which you have read many times already: books feel nice in your hand, smell good, don’t need batteries to read etc. But you know, people talked about quill pens the same way, and typewriters, when the personal computer started to arrive. They talked about 78 records and 45 records and 33 1/3 records and even cassette tapes. None of this stopped the next thing from coming along.
CHARLES GORDON Another way of looking at it is from the economic point of view, and here the jury is still out. Some of the people selling ereaders will make money. Probably, the sellers of ebooks — which are not necessarily the booksellers we now know — will make money. Right now, writers worry that they may not make money, because an entirely new set of royalty rules is coming into being. But perhaps it will work out. That will make environmentalists happy, or at least some of them, because not so many trees will die to make the paper that traditional books are printed on. Mind you, there’s a lot of plastic to be used up making the ebooks. From your point of view and mine, perhaps the most impor-
tant question about any new technology is this: Will it be annoying? And here, the ebook passes with flying colours. If there’s an ebook in the room, it won’t annoy you. If there’s an ebook sitting next to you on the bus, it won’t annoy you. So that’s good. It shows that some new technology can be unobtrusive. The best can even create more private space. The same cannot be said of much of the old technology. I did a round trip to Toronto last week. The way down was on the train. It was quiet. No muzak, no screens. People read books, real or e-, tapped on computers, listened to iPods. Nobody bothered anybody else. That was nice. New technology allowed people to amuse themselves without bothering other people. The way back was on the bus, because there had been a train derailment. Nice bus, friendly driver, good service, quick. Except that a movie was projected

on the screens overhead for our enjoyment. That would have been possible to ignore, but the sound was projected for our enjoyment as well. So those of us who wanted to amuse ourselves by reading a book or newspaper, not to mention those of who wanted to sleep, had to fight our way past the movie soundtrack. By and large, were the bus passengers grateful that there was a movie? Would they have complained if there had not been one? I don’t know. Obviously, the bus company feels a need to amuse the passengers, and it is not alone. It is difficult to enter any public space without something blaring at you.
The comforting thought is that it may pass. As more and more people carry their own amusement systems with them — their music, their books, their computers, their smartphones — the big screen and the blaring music become redundant. Life in the restaurant and on the bus and in the gym becomes more liveable. Now, other things become redundant as well, such as conversation with strangers and looking out the window at the scenery, but we may have lost them long ago. In return, we regain the ability to be left alone, no small blessing in a noisy age.

Loosen up your audience with lots of laugh and ply their palates with scrumptious goodies. This sets the stage perfectly for hitting their pocketbooks in a charity auction, presided over by a comedianturned-auctioneer whose call for bids really did sound like an honest-togoodness auctioneer. If this all sounds like a recipe for success, you can bet on it. Just ask the 200 who attended and, more importantly, enjoyed immensely the comedy, dessert and live auction fundraiser that was held at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Friday evening, April 1. Not only did the hall reverberate with laughter and chuckles at the offerings of comedians Paul Mussell and Don Kelly, both of whom performed for half an hour, but the following intermission featured not only lots of friendly chatter but also lots of goodies such as
cupcakes and cookies, laid out for easy nibbling on a long table running almost the whole length of the hall. The evening-ending live auction saw 21 auction packages go under the gavel, ranging from a gift cards for Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, the Stittsville Home Building Centre and Rental Village to a jersey autographed by the Ottawa Senators’ Chris Phillips to dinner at the Glen Scottish Restaurant followed by a show at the National Arts Centre to a week’s stay in a condominium in Provence, France. And when the evening was all said and done, all of the funds raised are going to Candlelighters, a local charity that provides support to young cancer patients and their families. The evening began with comedian Paul Mussell taking the stage, wearing his western-style black hat, rattling off joke after joke – some stories, some observations, some quips. Like his comment about life in Florida – “God’s
observed the recent Earth Hour by turning off his lights in support of the environment. Unfortunately, the other drivers on the Queensway did not seem to appreciate his gesture, he said. Just before the live auction began, those in attendance heard a presentation about Candlelighters and its work with children with cancer. Part of this included a testimonial by Alison Lusignan of Stittsville and how Candlelighters had helped when her daughter Emily was diagnosed with cancer and required chemotherapy and stem cell transplants, including four and a half months staying in Toronto for the treatment. She praised Candlelighters for its help including providing an air mattress to be able to sleep over with Emily during her hospital stays, providing a laptop so Emily could keep up with the schooling that she was missing during her two year absence from school and providing parking passes for hospitals. Ms. Lusignan reported that Emily, who turned 10 in February, has now been cancer free for two years.
She is able to walk and run and is in grade four at school. She thanked Candlelighters for helping the family experience some good memories throughout Emily’s cancer ordeal, such as taking in an Ottawa Senators game, going to a ballet at the National Arts Centre and attending a Justin Bieber concert. Candlelighters programs and services are aimed at the needs of the entire family and deal
mainly with alleviating both the emotional and financial stress that families of children with cancer deal with on a daily basis. This involves everything from emergency financial assistance to loaner PC notebooks so children do not fall behind at school to support groups to hockey tickets to an art program for siblings. More about Candlelighters can be discovered at www.candlelighters. net.

He was followed on stage by Don Kelly who had just returned from recording “The Debaters” show for CBC radio in Vancouver, who has appeared at the Manitoba Comedy Festival and who hosts a show on the Aboriginal People’s Television Network. An Ojibway himself, Don’s comments were self-deprecating, as he explained that he calls himself Don Kelly now because his native name translates as “Runs Like A Girl.” He told of waiting in line and being asked “Who was here first?” He lamented the plight of natives, noting that whereas there is Black History Month, natives only have National Aboriginal Day.

The staff report provides service level recommendations for the next collection contract that would: • Provide a consistent level of service to all parts of the City; • Implement weekly green bin pickup year-round; • Retain blue and black box pick up on alternating weeks; • Pick up residual waste every two weeks;and • Implement a special diaper and incontinence products pick up program for those who need it on the alternate week of residual waste pick up. These recommendations result from an in-depth study into solid waste collection best practices in other jurisdictions and a rigorous public consultation process over the past two months. A move to the recommended collection system promotes maximum waste diversion and preserves the life of the municipal landfill. In order to ensure residents have an opportunity to provide feedback, public engagement has been expanded in advance of the Environment Committee and Council consideration of the service level recommendations released today. Open houses will be held April 5 and 6 between 4.30 p.m. and 8 p.m., at the following locations: • April 5 – Ottawa City Hall, 110 Laurier Avenue West and Manotick Arena, 5572 Doctor Leach Drive, Manotick; and, • April 6 - Kanata Recreation Centre, 100 Walter Baker Place and Shenkman Arts Centre, 285 Centrum Boulevard, Orléans. These open houses will offer a detailed comparison of the status quo compared to the recommended level of service. Staff will be available to answer questions and receive feedback from residents. Residents are also invited to provide their feedback on the service level review at Ottawa.ca , where a dedicated page has been created to collect public comment on the service level review recommendations. A special Environment Committee meeting will be held at City Hall on April 11 at 9:30am for public delegations, debate and Committee recommendation on the staff report. Full City Council will deliberate the committee recommendations on April 13. Ottawa-Gatineau again tops list of Best Places to Live For the second consecutive year, Ottawa-Gatineau has been rated the best city to live in Canada by MoneySense magazine’s Best
Places to Live survey. Ottawa-Gatineau was ranked #1 last year and has repeated the feat for 2011. The survey is based on data compiled from 179 Canadian cities and towns with populations over 10,000. Cities were rated based on climate, prosperity, access to health care, home affordability, crime rates and lifestyle with subcategories in each area. A city must score well in all categories to come out on top. Ottawa-Gatineau scored 71.8 points out of a possible 105 points. “I am delighted that we have again been confirmed as the best city to live in Canada by an independent third party,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “As a beautiful G8 capital, were are not only a safe, clean and vibrant community with an excellent quality of life, we are rich in culture and heritage and surrounded by a beautiful natural setting offering many recreational opportunities.” Ottawa’s citizens enjoy unparalleled health, comfort, and economic well-being. Benefitting from a unique combination of urban convenience and accessible nature, Ottawa combines small-city life with a cosmopolitan vibe, great public transit, some of the best universities, colleges and hospitals and a growing, prosperous economy. “Our wonderful new Ottawa Convention Centre opening on April 12, our many national institutions and historic buildings, theatres, concerts, great shopping, lots of fabulous restaurants, affordable housing, stable employment, the longest skating rink in the world and an NHL team all make Ottawa a great place to live, work and raise a family,” said Mayor Watson.

Bazaar with a difference JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s a bazaar with a difference – and everyone’s invited. It’s at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville this coming Saturday, April 9, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sure, the bazaar will have a selection of baked goods and preserves, always a highlight of any bazaar. In addition, there will be a hot luncheon available, consisting of turkey a la king, salad and dessert, all for only $8 for adults and $3 for children. But the real difference in this bazaar comes from three organizations which will be at the bazaar selling their unique products, namely handmade crafts and fair trade food by Ten Thousand Villages, pearl bracelets by Pearls for Girls and handmade paper jewelry from Caring Hands. St. Andrew’s is able to provide an outlet for these three worthwhile organizations while adding a unique attraction to its bazaar. Ten Thousand Villages in Ottawa sells fairly traded products from around the world. This includes a wide variety of handmade crafts such as linens, jewelry, toys, ceramics, musical instruments, home décor and more. There will also be a fair trade food section including coffee, chocolate, cocoa, tea, sugar, spices, jams, olive oil and chutneys. These fair trade items allow artisans in developing countries to provide for their families. The two Ten Thousand Villages stores in Ottawa are operated by Ottawa Alternative Trade Corporation, a not-for-profit organization. Many volunteers help out in the stores. Pearls for Girls helps out girls in devel-
oping countries around the world. Teenage girls and young women in developed countries organize “Pearl Bees” where they create pearl bracelets to raise funds for the leadership development of girls in developing countries. This makes the dream of a healthy future for these girls a reality. Currently this dream is out of reach for many girls in developing countries, especially those living in such places as Lesotho in southern Africa who are now orphans because of HIV/AIDS. Lesotho is a small country bordered on all sides by South Africa. Making jewelry out of recycled paper has become the most important income generating project for Caring Hands, a volunteer organization which assists Kampala families living in poverty, giving them hope for the future by breaking the cycle of poverty that exists in these communities. About 40 women have been trained in making beads out of recycled paper that are eventually transformed into jewelry and sent to markets around the world including here in Canada. The greatest challenges for these families in Kampala living in poverty are food, housing school fees, health and access to clean water. Caring Hands provides material, psycho-social and spiritual support. This bazaar will be held at the church this Saturday, April 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the church which is at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street going into the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville. Plan to attend to experience not a local church bazaar but also an opportunity to help out organizations that are working to improve conditions for others around the world.

Firefighters paid tribute to and said farewell to their former sector chief Terry Gervais last Friday, April 1. Chief Gervais recently left his position with the Ottawa Fire Service to become fire chief of Greater Napanee. At the April 1st gathering, chief Gervais receive a variety of gifts and mementos thanking him for his service and remembering the leadership which he provided to the firefighting service in the west rural sector of the city of Ottawa, especially to the volunteer firefighters who provide this service. There was a lot of remembrances recalled over the course of the evening, many recalled in a video presentation which showed various fires which occurred during chief Gervais’ tenure as well as some of community events involving the firefighters such as pancake breakfasts. Chief Gervais received an array of gifts and mementos at the event. There was a mounted fire axe with an “80” emblem over it (chief Gervais’ vehicle number was 80), given by the volunteer firefighters of District 4; there was a charcoal sketch of the chief; there was a framed photo montage, covering everything from firefighting to sitting in his vehicle; there
was a framed photo of the volunteer firefighters of Station 81 in Stittsville; there was a set of golf clubs; and there was fishing equipment as well. The largest memento took the form of a giant mat on which the Ottawa Fire Service logo is emblazoned. Among those on hand to pay tribute to chief Gervais was Ottawa Fire Service chief John deHooge, deputy chief Gord Mills, sector chief Gerry Pingitore who has replaced chief Gervais, moving over from his West Carleton chief ’s position and city of Ottawa West Carleton/March ward councillor Eli El-Chantiry. Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was also present at the event. Chief Gervais became fire chief of the former Goulbourn Township Fire Department in 1998 and, with amalgamation in 2001, became rural sector chief for the area for the Ottawa Fire Service. Under his guidance and direction, the role and training of volunteer firefighters within the Ottawa Fire Service was solidified and enhanced. He was also involved in planning the new Station 46 which is to open soon on Iber Road in Stittsville. Chief Gervais was instrumental in the launching and annual holding of the Christmas Parade of Lights in Stittsville. He was also involved with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, serving as its chief referee.

Daffodils have become a symbol of hope in the struggle to overcome the disease of cancer. As a result of the efforts of the Canadian Cancer Society over the years, April is known as Daffodil Month and the month to fight back against cancer. In previous years, during Daffodil Days at the beginning of the month, volunteers could be found at numerous locations throughout a community, armed with bouquets of fresh daffodils which were distributed in return for a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. This year, for the first time, the Canadian Cancer Society has introduced a new yellow daffodil pin which a person can wear throughout the whole month of April to show support for those
living with cancer. Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club continued with their tradition of participating in these Daffodil Days again this year, being stationed at Brown’s Your Independent Grocery throughout the weekend, distributing the pins to all those who made a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. Funds raised through these Daffodil Days will go to support cancer research, to provide service to those fighting the disease and to raise awareness of the disease throughout the population. The Canadian Cancer Society views the daffodil as a symbol of strength and courage and a symbol of life. Wearing a daffodil pin means that people are willing to fight back against this disease and ultimately to beat the disease.

Capital Junk providing way to get rid of e-waste john.curry@metroland.com
Last year’s free e-waste drop off day, the inaugu-
ral one held by Capital Junk, saw a great turnout. Indeed, Capital Junk was overwhelmed with the response – happy but over-
whelmed. This year, for the second annual free e-waste drop off day, Capital Junk promises to be prepared
for a similar or even greater response. Sam Burland of Capital Junk realizes the benefit of such a free e-waste

local recycling facilities to ensure proper disposal. This fits in with Capital Junk’s philosophy of supporting the environment and making every effort to recycle and/or donate the items that it picks up. What makes this free ewaste drop off day on Saturday, April 16 even more environmentally significant is that it is happening right in the shadow of the annual Earth Day which takes place on Friday, April 22 this year. This is the most celebrated environmental event worldwide and an e-waste drop off is certainly in the spirit of Earth Day as its goal is to help the environment by ensuring responsible and proper disposal of e-waste items. Capital Junk focuses on eco friendly removal every day in its work which includes hauling away almost any unwanted item from both residential and commercial customers.

drop off day, acknowledging that people generally have no convenient way of getting rid of their ewaste like monitors, towers, keyboards, printers, fax machines and stereos. That’s why Capital Junk is holding this annual free e-waste drop off day which once again this year will take place in the parking lot at Stittsville Home Furniture at 1609 Stittsville Main Street, across from the Stittsville post office. The drop-off will start at 9 a.m. and run through to 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 16, with a Capital Junk truck parked there, all ready to accept e-waste items. But there is a rule – there is a limit of three per household or business. Capital Junk, which is an Ottawa area full service junk removal company, is asking that people respect this limit. What is great about this free e-waste drop off day being held by Capital Junk is that once the drop off is over, all of the items collected will be taken by Capital Junk to

and the form it takes depends a lot on her mood at the time. She finds that poetry is a more emotional form of writing and so she will turn to poetry if she feels strongly about something. She also finds that writing is therapeutic in that no matter how she feels when she begins, her feelings and outlook are always back to normal after she has completed her writing. Claire would like to write as an adult, although she recogniz-
es that for most people it is not a practical vocation to do on a fulltime basis. Nonetheless, she plans to write in her future, even if it is not for money.

Claire Hendrickson-Jones likes to write. She writes every day, ranging from the 50,000 word, one-month novel on which she is now working to short stories and poetry. And it was her poetry, and more specifically a poem entitled “Moments,” that garnered an honourable mention for Claire in this year’s Awesome Authors youth writing contest held by the Ottawa Public Library with sponsorship from the Friends of the Ottawa Public Library. The 12 year old grade seven student at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville captured her honourable mention in the poetry category for those aged 12 to 14. The contest has various age categories for youth between the ages of 9 and 17, with both poetry and short story categories in both English and French. She entered the contest at the urging of her mother and admits that she will probably enter the contest again in future years. Claire drew the inspiration for her poem “Moments” from her memories of the canoe camping experiences which her family enjoys annually, particularly
those moments in the morning as the sun is coming up or in the evening with the sun setting. “It was real cool sometimes,” she says about these moments. Indeed, she admits that when she was writing the poem, it felt like she was back there on these canoe adventures. Claire also submitted a short story for the contest. It was a story about a girl who moved into the city from a small town
and the difficulties which she encountered. She usually does her writing by hand since she finds writing at a computer keyboard has an artificial feeling. She then makes any changes when it is entered on the computer. She finds that when she gets an idea for her writing, she writes best if she does it quickly and then later goes back over it to make any changes needed. Claire admits that her writing

Iron lung in Stittsville The first big issue and the first truly contentious vote in now upon me. Prior to being elected, I had always stated that as a Councillor, I would work for the four years and worry about the next election when the time comes. I would not react to a few comments threatening me with lost votes, that is no way to govern and I believe you expect more from your representative. I never promised to make every resident happy on every issue, it’s impossible. My job is to gather information from you, learn about the facts on any given issue and take a leadership role on making my decision. My decisions may anger some and may make others happy, but that is the Councillor I said I was going to be. While you may not agree with me all the time, I will continue to be honest with you on each and every issue that comes up. Having said all of that, let’s get to the issue…
Bi-weekly Garbage Pickup Last week, I outlined my experience with bi-weekly garbage pickup and now, the City has released the results of the consultation conducted in recent months. The City of Ottawa’s Solid Waste Service Level Review report from last week contained recommended changes to residential, curb-side waste collection services that are expected to save taxpayers $9 million annually or a 10 per cent reduction from the current tax bill associated with waste collection. The staff report provides service level recommendations for the next collection contract, which would begin summer of 2012, and would: • Provide a consistent level of service to all parts of the City; • Implement weekly green bin pickup year-round; • Keep Blue and Black bin pickup as is; • Pick up residual waste every two weeks; and • Implement a special diaper and incontinence products pick up program for those who need it on the alternate week of residual waste pick up, at no extra cost. These recommendations result from an in-depth study into solid waste collection best practices in other jurisdictions and a rigorous public consultation process over the past two months. I have also personally conducted public meetings and kept this issue at the forefront since January. The feedback I have received shows that those who use the Green Bin or are regular composters support bi-weekly pickup and those that oppose bi-weekly pickup either do not currently have a green bin or are opposed to using it. The feedback has been essentially a 50/50 split and I am inclined to support those who have shown an effort to support preserving our landfills and reducing the amount of waste that goes into them. This is not a referendum on the green bin program itself. I agree that the contract leaves little to be desired but it is the reality we are left to deal with and my job is to make the cost of it less onerous on the taxpayer. This proposal puts money back in your pocket and reduces the amount of garbage trucks you see on a weekly basis by 50%. A similar program was introduced this year in Gatineau and the municipality saw a dramatic increase in waste diversion and did not see the rise in garbage dumping that many are worried about. Please continue to provide feedback as changes can still be made to address unique concerns. If you have any questions on these or any other issues, please contact me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2491.

The iron lung, once a key in treating polio, is now a virtual medical dinosaur. Soon to join it and go the way of the dinosaur as well is polio itself. This is thanks in large part to Rotary International and its partners who are now on the brink of seeing this disease eradicated from everywhere in the world. All of this will be explained and an iron lung will even be on display at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville in a display presented by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville on Friday, April 15 through Sunday, April 17. This display will include an iron lung which was the medical instrument used from the 1930’s through to the 1960’s to help people breathe as they fought and hopefully recovered from polio. In addition, members of the Rotary Club will be on hand to provide information about Rotary’s global effort over more than 20 years now to rid the world of polio and of the current final push, assisted by grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, to eliminate the disease from the few remaining countries where it still exists. Donations to help in the final push to get rid of polio in the world will be accepted at this display, with tax receipts available for those over $25. It was during the first half of the 20th century that polio became one of the most feared diseases in the world. During this time, polio crippled over a half million people every year. Now it only is a problem in several developing countries which is where Rotary International and the 1.2 million Rotary members around the world are working to eliminate it. These are some of the poorest and most populous regions in the world and not only must the spread of polio there be interrupted through public health measures but surveillance will have to continue for several years to ensure that the virus is completely wiped out. As with many challenges, funding is a problem. However, in response to this problem, Rotary accepted a $355 million chal-
lenge grant from the Gates Foundation which Rotary is matching with an addition $200 million over three years. This will raise a total of $555 million, all of which will go to polio eradication. These funds will directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries where polio continues to paralyze children. To date, Rotary has contributed nearly $800 million to protect more than two billion children in 122 countries from the ravages of polio. Rotary has also advocated for polio eradication and since 1995 donor governments around the world have contributed over $4 billion to get ride of polio. Rotary’s financial contributions to the global polio eradication effort will reach nearly $1.2 billion by the time the world is polio free. Rotary became involved with this fight in 1985 and its involvement inspired the World Health Assembly to pass a resolution to eradicate polio which paved the way for the formation of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. With regard to the iron lung, which will be on display at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on the April 15-17 weekend, it is a machine that enables a person to breathe when normal muscle control has been lost or the work of breathing exceeds the person’s physical ability. It found its most famous use in the 1940’s and 1950’s when victims of polio, stricken with paralysis, became unable to breathe on their own and were placed in these steel chambers to survive. Entire hospital wards were filled with rows of iron lungs at the height of the polio outbreaks of the 1940’s and 1950’s.
It was only in 1955 that the polio vaccine developed by Dr. Jonas Salk was approved for distribution and became the first method of combating polio. With the success of the worldwide polio vaccination programs beginning in the mid 1950’s, new cases of the disease declined rapidly. The advent of modern ventilators that control breathing via the direct intubation of the airway has meant that the use of the iron lung has declined sharply. Polio or, more officially poliomyelitis, was a fearful part of North American society for much of the first part of the 20th century. Beginning in the second decade and lasting through the late 1950’s, there were widespread yearly polio epidemics. It became a threat to everyone, regardless of race, class, economic circumstances or location. United States president Franklin Delano Roosevelt even contracted polio at a later age in life. Polio is characterized by fever, motor paralysis and atrophy of skeletal muscles, often with permanent disability and deformity and marked by inflammation of nerve cells in the spinal cord. The iron lung offered polio patients the assistance that they needed to survive the disease. This is why hospital rooms were filled with iron lungs during polio epidemics. To see the iron lung and learn more about the current push to rid the world of polio by eliminating it in the few last remaining hot spots in the world, visit the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville on Friday, April 15 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; on Saturday, April 16 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and on Sunday, April 17 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.
The iron lung was used in the battle against polio in the 1940’s and 1950’s.

Neil Diamond tribute JOHN CURRY
john.curry@metroland.com
He is right up there as a top pop songwriter, performer, best selling recording artist and hit making machine. And earlier this month, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, more than a quarter of a century after he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1984. And now his music, which includes what have become classic standards such as Sweet Caroline, America, Cracklin’ Rosie, Forever in Blue Jeans, Cherry Cherry … the list goes on and on, is going to be sung and performed in Stittsville. No, not by the 70 year old performer himself who indeed continues to tour and to record but by Joey Purpura, a 36 year old impersonation talent who has developed “Diamond in the Rough: The Neil Diamond Tribute Show.” In this two hour tribute show, Joey delivers his first set wearing mid-seventies garb complete with the bellbottoms, huge collars and vest that were the clothing of that era, a time when Neil Diamond produced such hits as Sweet Caroline, Holly Holy, Song Sung Blue and the Hot August Night live double album. Joey then switches and for his second set, he wears a glittery pastel-sequined shirt with a scarf, the costume for which Neil Diamond is best known. Joey Purpura grew up in Montreal, blessed with the gift of mimicry and a
passion for music. He was singing all the time. He eventually was introduced to karaoke which allowed him to work on his vocal impersonations which include Elton John, Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor. He then started impersonating Neil Diamond, although he did not quite realize at the time what he was getting into. “It’s funny but I wasn’t very familiar with Neil Diamond’s vast song list when I started doing the impersonation,” he says now. Indeed, his first shows consisted of two 15 minute sets but encouraged by audience reaction, he has added to his repertoire and now has a full two hour show of Neil Diamond hits. “I had no idea how beloved Neil Diamond is,” Joey says. “And I had no idea how powerful his music was – and still is – to people.” Joey Purpura’s “Diamond in the Rough: The Neil Diamond Tribute Show” will be presented in Stittsville on Saturday, April 23 at 8 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Advance ticket sales at $20 apiece are available by contacting Lions Club member Don Redtman at 613-831-1054 or by dropping into the Stittsville IDA Drug Mart at Crossing Bridge Square in Stittsville. Tickets will also be sold at the door at $25 apiece. Some of the proceeds from the show will be going to the Stittsville District Lions Club to help support its work in the community.

Value by Design - New Homes Offer What Resale Homes Cannot! Written by Greater Ottawa Home Builders Association From layout to landscaping, new homes are designed for the way we live today and the things that are important to us. That means style, convenience, flexibility and conservation. New homes offer layouts that are attractive and practical to live in. Open-concept designs, vaulted ceilings and skylights create spaciousness and brightness, while features such as half walls make it easier to furnish and keep the home tidy. Today’s new homes are also rich in design details that add character and style, such as highquality wooden trim and moulding, rounded drywall corners, archways and built-in shelves. Increasingly, buyers are opting for home offices, entertainment rooms and even exercise rooms. Typically, new homes are built with flexibility, adaptability and the long term in mind. Today’s extra bedroom or den can easily become tomorrow’s home office, and a ready-tofinish basement may be transformed into separate living
quarters for grown children or aging relatives. Convenience is designed right into every new home. Laundry facilities are located close to living and sleeping areas. Mudrooms keep extra outerwear out of sight and prevent dampness and dirt from being trekked into the house. Storage space, often at a premium in older homes, is plentiful and easily accessible. Kitchens feature effective work spaces and easy-to-reach cupboards and pull-out shelves, and today s modern finishing materials mean less time spent on cleaning and maintaining your home. More and more, environmental considerations are incorporated at the very outset at the planning and design stage. From energy-efficient construction to waterconserving fixtures and recycling and composting stations, new homes are designed to conserve resources both during construction and later. And often home owners will end up saving money on utility bills for years to come. The marketplace is also seeing the emergence of many
exciting, innovative products that combine function, looks and price with a sensitivity to the environment. Like pavers for patios and walkways made from recycled tires, ceramic tiles from recycled glass and carpeting from recycled soft drink containers, to mention a few. The emphasis on design goes beyond each individual home. Today s builders take great pride in building communities where people feel at home and part of the neighbourhood. They preserve the natural landscape of new developments and build walkways, bike-paths, playgrounds and community gathering spots. And even the simplest houses have architectural features that contribute to an integrated and visually pleasing streetscape. The builders of today’s new homes and communities are building for you and your lifestyle! To find out more, visit the professional builders in your area, tour their model homes, talk to sales staff, and take a walk through the developments. Discover the real value of buying new!

Scotiabank Place may become a park and ride site for OC Transpo. This possibility was alluded to by OC Transpo staff at the public information open house which was held by OC Transpo in Kanata on Wednesday, March 30 to explain proposals currently being suggested to alter bus service across the city to save operating costs. While there are service changes and cuts being proposed elsewhere, Stittsville is to get some proposed slight improvements which perhaps explains why only three out of the 35 who lined up and asked questions of OC Transpo officials at the open house talked about Stittsville
concerns. The proposed improvements to bus service in Stittsville include extending the Route 163 southward on West Ridge Drive to Fernbank Road in the peak periods; Route 96 bypassing the Terry Fox Station during peak periods in the morning; Route 262 seeing slight service increases in the morning; and Route 263 travelling along Huntmar Drive at certain times. OC Transpo general manager Alain Mercier told the 250 attending the standing-room-only meeting at the Kanata Recreation Complex that OC Transpo is easing Stittsville into the Urban Transit Area with progressive increases in both service and taxes. He said that there will be service increases in Stittsville both this year and next year.
Concerns expressed regarding Stittsville at the meeting included service on Huntmar Drive in the Fairwinds area; the need for more service to improve the travel time to downtown from Stittsville; and improved service so that youthful university students/part-time workers can have more convenient travel to get home later at night. Most of the concerns expressed in the public question period dealt with proposed bus route changes in Kanata North, Glen Cairn and Bridlewood. OC Transpo, with its proposed changes, is trying to achieve a scenario in which 95 percent of all households in the city of Ottawa are within 400 metres of a bus stop at peak periods and within 800 metres of a bus stop at off-peak times.
Route changes in Stittsville LAURA MUELLER
laura.mueller@metroland.com
On March 23, OC Transpo revealed a hefty list of changes to the transit map that are aimed at saving the city $22 million by next year while still maintaining close to the current level of service. Stittsville and Kanata will see some substantial changes. Route changes and service reductions are expected to save $3.641 billion in the Stittsville/Kanata area, the largest amount in the city out of a total of $19.525 million to be saved across Ottawa. The city says service to Stittsville will be improved as part of the changes. Route 163 would be extended along West Ridge to Fernbank, but the hours of operation would be reduced to peak morn-
ing and afternoon hours only. That route would be rerouted to operate via the intersection of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road. The section of Route 163 on Beverly and to the Stittsville Arena would be removed. Trips in the morning peak period on Route 96 from Stittsville to downtown and trips in the afternoon peak period from downtown to Stittsville would be changed to bypass Terry Fox Station (about 65 people each day would have a longer walk to get to a route that serves Terry Fox). Service in the morning peak period on Route 262 would be increased to eight trips. The changes would mean a faster, more direct route downtown for approximately 120 customers each day. About 650 people would have more frequent service.

What’s up at Stittsville Legion?
More landfill options JOHN CURRY News Staff
It’s now double the options regarding the proposed new landfill at Waste Management’s Carp Road site. There are now four possible locations on the site being suggested for the new landfill, twice as many as the two locations first put forward by Waste Management as it follows an Environmental Assessment process to try to establish a new landfill at the site. The current landfill at the site is to close down by Sept. 30 this year. It was as a result of suggestions made at the first series of open houses related to Waste Management’s proposed new West Carleton Environmental Centre that two additional possible sites for the new landfill are being proposed. As the Environmental Assessment process moves forward, Waste Management will provide a comparative evaluation of these four alternative landfill footprints which will lead to the selection of one of them as the preferred alternative. A major difference for the
two new options suggested at Waste Management’s second series of open houses last week is their height. One of the options would see the landfill reach an approximate final height of 22 metres which is comparable to the height of a 6.5 storey building. The other options would have two heights – an approximate height of 19 metres or six storeys for part of it and a 27 metre or eight storey height for another portion of it. For comparison purposes, the existing landfill which is closing has a height of 47 metres which is the equivalent of a 14 storey building. So, what are the four options now on the table? One option would see a landfill located at a site on the western part of the Waste Management landholdings. This is not adjacent to the Carp Road like the current landfill but is west of William Money Road which bisects the Waste Management landholdings to the west. This proposed landfill, which would be located near two wetlands, would eventually reach a height of 28 metres or 8.5 storeys.
BARB VANT’SLOT
The second option, which like the first option had already been proposed, would see the new landfill located to the north of the existing landfill, basically on land behind the Laurysen Kitchens factory on Carp Road. This proposed landfill would also have an approximate height of 28 metres or 8.5 storeys. One of the new options would be a variation on this second option in that the landfill would also be located on land behind the Laurysen Kitchens factory but it would extend farther to the west, meaning a lower overall height. The height of this proposed landfill would be about 22 metres or 6.5 storeys. The second new option would see a proposed new landfill that would be “L” shaped, located both north of the existing landfill and also wrapping around to the west of the existing landfill, crossing over William Mooney Road in the process. The northern portion of this option would be about 19 metres high (6 storeys) while the west portion wrapping around the existing landfill would be 27 metres tall (8 storeys).

“Eat your vegetables.” Who hasn’t said or heard that at some time during their lifetime. Yes, vegetables are a staple of our diet. Brown’s Your Independent Grocer has a big vegetable section, right in a prominent place in the store. Vegetables are a big part of any grocery shopping excursion. But what is a vegetable and how do you grow them? Well, a dictionary or encyclopedia will tell you that a vegetable usually means an edible plant or part of a plant other than a sweet fruit or seed. Some vegetables can be consumed raw while others must be cooked in order to be edible. Aw, there is a lot to know about vegeta-
bles. And, as for growing them, particularly in our climate, now that’s another story. But you can get the whole story, or at least part of it, at the April meeting of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society. That’s when David Hinks will be present to give a presentation called “Growing Vegetables in Our Summer.” This April meeting of the Horticultural Society will be held on Tuesday, April 19 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. Members of the public are most welcome to attend this meeting. However, there is a two dollar guest fee charged. Annual memberships in the Horticultural Society will be available at the meeting at the cost of $15.
$12 for adults, $6 for teens and free for children under 12. There is also a $30 family rate covering two adults and two teens. Tickets are available by contacting Frank Calkins at 613-836-0168 or the church office at 613836-4962. Members of the community are invited to bid at the “TTT” auction. There’s lot of things in this Time, Talent & Treasure Auction that will make it a memorable and fun event.

But you would really like to get to tour the facility and talk to staff and get a feel for the place. Say no more. This Saturday, April 9 is the day that you have been waiting for.
It is open house day at the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School, running from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Nursery School premises which are located at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville. This open house is coming at a perfect time, just before the Nursery School’s registration for the fall 2011 term which
will be taking place on Thursday, April 14 at 7 p.m. The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School is an active spot. Just look at what has been happening there recently: A fundraising raffle was held but look at the prizes that were up for grabs – an autographed Mike Fisher hockey stick, an overnight stay at the
Holiday Inn in Kanata, a family pass to the movies, a spa treatment and a Blue Bamboo pass. All great prizes and these were only some of them. Sure, it was fundraising for the Nursery School but with such sought after and desirable prizes, it sure wasn’t a fundraising chore. It was fun. The Nursery School held a Mom-to-Mom Sale
as another way not only to raise funds but to help mothers in the area connect with other moms. And the youngsters have been having a great time recently. There was Spirit Week including a PJ Day and a Beach Day. There was a pancake snack event that proved
really popular. And making cookies also proved to be a hit with the youngsters. The Kindermusik program that was held at the Nursery School every Monday throughout the winter months has now ended, providing much enjoyment to the youngsters.
Highway 417 work SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School youngsters have fun playing with a parachute and balls, one of many activities which happen at the Nursery School.
Highway 417 running past Stittsville is going to be expanded. Detail design work is going to be done to widen highway 417 from Eagleson Road west to highway 7. the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has hired the engineering firm McCormick Rankin Corporation to undertake the detail design work. The stretch of highway 417 from Eagleson Road to Palladium Drive will involve two additional lanes in each direction, with one of these lanes in each direction being a High Occupancy Vehicle lane. From Palladium Drive west to highway 7, which is the section that goes past the Carp Road and the exit to Stittsville, there will be one additional lane added in each direction. The work will include rehabilitation and minor widening of the Carp Road bridge over highway 417. The work will also include resurfacing and rehabilitation of the ramps at the Carp Road interchange, as well as the ramps at the Palladium Drive and Terry Fox Drive interchanges.

The Lions Hall in Stittsville was a sea of green on Thursday evening, March 17, St. Patrick’s Day. There were 15 tables played at the regular Thursday evening euchre party hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club, with everyone celebrating St. Paddy’s Day. As a result, the hall was a solid sea of green of many different shades. The prize for the best wearing of the green for a man was won by Joe Borsa while Margaret Hobbs won this prize for the ladies. And what would St. Patrick’s Day be without a draw for a green basket. The winner was Evelyn Leroux. Besides the wearing of the green and the playing of cards, there was lots to eat, as everyone enjoyed several different snacks throughout the course of the evening. As for the card playing, Joy Phillips emerged in first place, while Ken Campbell ended up in second place. Third place went to the green man, Joe Borsa. Marilyn Wallace won the door prize while the 50/50 draw winners were Dawnean Featherstone and Venita Pilion. With the coming of spring, the skunks are out and about. St. Patrick might have driven the snakes out of Ireland but he could not keep the skunks out of the Lions Hall. In any case, the skunks were experienced by Anne Williams and Bev Morley; Brenda Lewis and Sylvia Yates; and Sharon Cummings and Debbie Quinn. On Thursday, March 10, the week before St. Patrick’s Day, there were nine tables played at the euchre party hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville. At the end of the evening, there was a tie for first place involving Sylvia Yates and Randy Clouthier. Garnet Vaughn finished in third place. Ada Gawlik won the booby prize while Jim Cathcart had the hidden score. Joan Campbell took home the door prize while the 50/50 winners were Bev Morley and Erika Leslie. Once again, the skunks were out and about – just ask Bonnie Sue West and Rosemarie Baine. On Thursday, March 24, with 15 tables in play, Bonnie Sue West topped all of the players. Tied for second were Maizie Konkol and Harry Wolf.
of growing up on the family farm during the depression years of the 1930’s. And she is bound to delight the audience which attends her Stittsville appearance which will happen on Saturday, April 16 starting at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. “April Foolishness” will be the topic of her talk, with the topic alone making it sound intriguing and fun-filled. Mary Cook has been a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines across Canada and has authored ten best
selling books including “Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire,” “Another Place at the Table,” “A Bubble off Plumb” and “This Then Was Home.” She has received seven ACTRA awards for excellence in broadcast journalism as a result of her long career in radio with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which included 25 years with CBC Ottawa. Mary believes that the connections with family and loved ones are all important and her stories highlight that no matter how hard things get, family,
neighbours and friends are what make life worthwhile. This theme will no doubt run through her stories delivered in her “April Foolishness” presentation in Stittsville on Saturday, April 16. Members of the public are most welcome to attend the monthly meetings of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society such as this one coming up on April 16. There is no admission charge and there are always some refreshments and goodies served at the end of the meeting.

Earth Day crafts at Museum SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Earth Day on April 22 is the largest, most celebrated environmental event in the world. Over one billion people in over 170 countries take part in events and projects dealing with environmental issues on this particular day. This includes more than six million Canadians. First launched as an environmental awareness event in the United States in 1970, Earth Day is now known as the birthday of the environmental movement. So, with this focus on Earth Day in April, it is not surprising that a children’s craft and activity program at the Goulbourn Museum in April should focus on Earth Day. In this Earth Day crafts and activities program at the Goulbourn Museum, youngsters aged 4 to 12 will be able to create “green” crafts that foster a love of nature and the environment. These crafts will use recycled, natural and donated materials and will
include ‘litter bugs’ kites, bird feeders and more. This special program will be held this Sunday, April 10 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Museum at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. To register for this family-oriented craft and activity day, phone the
Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or via the internet at education@goulbournmuseum.ca. This is another in an ongoing series of family craft and activity programs being offered at the Goulbourn Museum. The cost is $3 per child with all materials included. Parental supervision is required.
