A paved east-west pathway, a relocated and better lit rink, a full-sized mini soccer field and a toboggan hill are improvements being planned for the Bryanston Gate Park in Stittsville. Work is projected to be done this year, although the soccer field will require two growing seasons before it will be available for use. The existing skating rink will remain as will the shed and play structure and existing trees on the site. In addition, more trees will be planted, especially along the western edge of the newly expanded park site. It is in this new western portion of the park that the toboggan hill for youngsters will be located due to the significant grade change between the existing and new portions of the park site. The existing rink will be relocated to remove it from the mini soccer field. This will not only allow for better maintenance of the soccer field grass but it will also mean that more light standards can be erected for the rink. The relocated rink will have four light standards as per

the city of Ottawa’s policy for rinks of such a size. The existing mini-soccer field will be expanded to become a full-sized mini-soccer field. A paved pathway will run through the park from east to west, taking on a meandering route as it nears the new west end of the park with its elevation change. This is so that the pathway’s slope will meet accessibility requirements. The city is also negotiating to have a pedestrian connection between the park and the new adjacent Loreka Court subdivision to the east. “We want to get this done as soon as possible,” city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri told about 25 area residents at a recent public meeting about the park expansion and improvement project. He did warn, though, that there is no money available nor space on site for a splash pool for the park. It was pointed out that the play structure at Bryanston Gate Park is due to be replaced in 2014 under the city’s life cycle program. That is why it will remain as is under this park improvement project. City of Ottawa park planner Tara

Smith said that the plan as presented with its rinks, mini-soccer field and play structure is how a typical local neighbourhood park like this one would be developed by the city. She pointed out that the larger mini-soccer field does provide more green space for youngsters to use when it is not being used for soccer. “It’s making this park a little bit better,” she said with regard to the proposed improvements and changes. There will be grading work done to make the park more level, especially for the rink and mini-soccer field. Drainage is also being considered in the redevelop-

Members of the “Survivor” team which participated in “The Inside Ride” indoor cycling event at South Carleton High School in Richmond on Monday, April 18, raising funds for the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation in support of children and their families who are fighting childhood cancer, are, from left to right, Michaela Comba, Kendra Thompson, Deanna Schuster, Cole Kirkham, Liz MacKinnon and Madison Seabrook.

‘Inside Ride’ at South Carleton From page 1 The event, called “The Inside Ride,” is an indoor cycling challenge with teams of six students each taking part. While one student rides on the stationary bike, the others rally around, shouting encouragement, cheering on their teammate and generally getting in the spirit of the event. Loud, loud music playing during the event increases the excitement and gives the event a party-like celebratory atmosphere. It’s a lively, energy filled event to be sure. All proceeds raised go to Coast to Coast Against Cancer, an organization that fights childhood cancer. This was the second “The Inside Ride” held at South Carleton. Last year’s inaugural event raised over $3,000. “The Inside Ride” is an indoor cycling celebration and fundraising event dedi-

cated to raising monies in support of children and their families living with and surviving childhood cancer. Offered by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation, “The Inside Ride” is a two hour, team based indoor cycling challenge that focuses on fun, fitness and energizing participants in the battle against childhood cancers. There are medals presented for the top team fundraising, top male and female fundraisers, top team mileage, best team costume and top team spirit. Participants are expected to raise at least $50 per person or $300 per team. Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation is Canada’s only national charity devoted to fighting childhood cancer. All funds raised through “The Inside Ride” go toward improving the survival rate and quality of life of children impacted by cancer.

Bryanston Gate Park changes coming

ment of the site. Funding for these improvements are coming from city finances based on the size of the enlarged park as well as funding provided by the new subdivision to the east. Even with this funding, there was a shortfall that was overcome so that the project could go ahead as designed. “It has been quite a process to piece together the funding for this,” Ms. Smith said at the meeting. The developer of the Jackson Trails subdivision, which provided the expanded area to the west side of the park, has the responsibility to grade the site as per the subdivision agreement. However, the city will be negotiating with the developer to try to get the work done in accordance with this park improvement plan.

Stittsville Appreciation Awards

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees. The 2011 Stittsville Appreciation Awards were held on April 19th. We were privileged that to have Mayor Jim Watson was able to take time out of his busy schedule to be in attendance. This evening celebrates the many individuals who work to shape Stittsville into the vibrant community it is today. The night was a reflection of all your efforts for being shining candles in the Stittsville community. The Appreciation Awards categorize four groups and they are: Business of the Year, Senior Citizen of the Year, Youth of the Year, and the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year. This year’s recipient of the Business of the Year went to Dandelions Consignment Boutique, a wonderful family oriented shop run by two strong community minded women, Christine Kulla and Jennifer Riches Bergsma. They provide a much needed service to financially strapped parents by buying and selling clothing and other children’s’ goods. They have also done so much within the community by organizing movie nights for tired moms, cupcake decorating for little kids, a play area to play while you shop, supporting local authors with book signings, and the list goes on and on. They have raised money to assist our women’s shelters and Breast cancer, and our local schools to name just a few. Congratulations Dandelions Consignment Boutique! A vibrant young member of the community and great asset to our village, Alexandra Power was named Youth of the Year. Alexandra is a remarkable young lady who has accumulated over 900 hours of community service and shares her natural musical talent and brings the joy of music to others. She finds time to be involved with Guiding for the past 12 years. In 2010, she received the coveted Chief Commissioner’s Gold Award in Guiding. Alexandra has received her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award; a self directed development program for young Canadians aged 14 to 25. It challenges young people to achieve personal goals in four program areas, namely community service, skills, physical recreation and adventurous journey. Well done Alexandra! Metin Akgun, the past president of the Stittsville Village Association, has won his second Senior Citizen of the Year award. As past President of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), Metin has been a member since its inception. Under his leadership, the SVA continues to work in making our community one of the bright and growing areas in Ottawa. After applying for funding from the City of Ottawa, he arranged for a City of Ottawa certification course for fitness instructors who would accept assignments in smaller, rural communities where such instructors are hard to get. Thanks for Metin’s efforts in promoting and raising awareness of this program, it enjoys great success today. He remains involved with the SVA and is chairing this year’s SVA Artists and Authors in the Park event in May. This event has not only become a village event but one with city-wide participation. Metin, you are an inspiration to us all! Brenda Tirrell was the recipient of the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year. Roger Griffiths exemplified everything that meant community service. Brenda has served her community on many levels, starting as President of the Crossing Bridge Residents Association. She has also volunteered her time with the Beavers, Cubs, Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, and most recently as a Volunteer Fire Fighters. She was also instrumental in helping with the 9RUNRUN event. These are just some of the areas that have had the benefit of Brenda’s participation. I congratulate her on this honour, as she embodies everything this award means. At this time, I sincerely thank everyone who attended and heart-felt congratulations to all the winners and nominees. It is with your hard work and commitment that makes Stittsville a successful and vibrant community. City investing in easing homelessness and poverty The City’s proposed new Housing and Poverty Reduction Investment Plan moved a step closer to reality today as the Community and Protective Services Committee approved the recommendations contained in the plan. As part of the 2011 budget process, City Council approved $14 million for housing and poverty reduction. This Housing and Poverty Reduction Investment Plan specifies how the funds will be allocated. Of the total $14 million, $10 million in ongoing operating costs will come from the Community and Protective Services Committee budget. “Doing something about our homeless problem is close to my heart, something that drew me into public service in the first place,” said Mayor Watson. “As a humane, compassionate and caring city, this investment of public funds helps to protect and support the neediest and most vulnerable and disadvantaged among us and benefits the social and economic well-being of the whole community.” The investments also reduce social costs resulting from the increased incidence of physical and mental health issues and addictions, use of the health care system and emergency services, and involvement

Sports

with police and the justice system, said the Mayor. The proposed investment strengthens a key link in the chain to help vulnerable residents find a sustainable future. Stable, affordable housing creates an environment that increases an individual’s capacity to participate in the labour market. The funding responds to the priority needs and gaps as identified by the community, various stakeholders and staff in the following categories: • Financial supports to assist with accessing or maintaining housing, including rent supplements and housing allowances • Employment programs for youth living in social housing • Supports for people to obtain housing and/ or to stabilize in current living arrangements • Social housing repairs • Capital for new affordable or supportive housing. “Ottawa is a caring city,” said Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee. “We help one another every day and in many ways. Council’s commitment of $10 million in annual operating funds demonstrates this City’s leadership on addressing poverty reduction through a significant municipal investment in housing and related supports. As a result of this investment, every year more than 2,200 households will be in a better position to find or keep their housing.” Put Your Environmental Ideas Into Action! Does your community group have a great idea for an environmental project? Would your proposal improve the local environment and benefit the community? Here is your opportunity to start putting your plan into action. The City of Ottawa supports innovative environmental proposals to improve your local environment through the Community Environmental Projects Grant Program (CEPGP). This Community Environment Fund is available for community-based initiatives and non-profit organizations interested in improving and preserving our Ottawa environment. The application deadline is 4 p.m., Friday, April 29, 2011. Take the opportunity to formulate your ideas, confirm any potential partnerships and submit an application. An online application form is available on ottawa.ca/cepgp, which also includes funding eligibility criteria and application process information. For more information on CEPGP visit ottawa.ca/cepgp or call 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401). Celebrating our Earth Every Day Earth Day is a worldwide celebration of the beauty and richness of the planet. Since its beginning forty years ago, Earth Day is held every April 22. This year Earth Day fell on Good Friday. The City of Ottawa encourages residents to continuously honour Earth Day each and every day with actions that contribute to a sustainable future. What feeds you? Buying local food can reduce the energy and environmental costs of bringing good food to your table and make our local food sector stronger. Look for the Savour Ottawa Logo. It identifies local agricultural products and the stores and restaurants that sell or use them. Look for local products in your community grocery store. Think meat, cheese and prepared foods as well as produce. Let the manager know you’re interested. This growing season, stop and shop at a local farm stand or farmers’ market. What shelters you? The City provides tap water, removes and treats wastewater, and collects your garbage, recyclables and compostables. City-owned Hydro Ottawa delivers the electricity you use. Be environmentally responsible with these services. Order and use a City of Ottawa water efficiency kit. Avoid using plastic bags, Styrofoam and clamshell packaging that can’t be recycled. Feed your Green Bin. Buy efficient lighting and appliances, and turn things off when not in use. Put entertainment and computer equipment on a power bar that you can switch off to avoid “phantom power” drain. Hang your laundry outside to dry. What moves you? Responsible transportation choices require less energy, reduce emissions and reduce the need to build more roads. Use your bike or walk for short trips to the store or other locations. Use OC Transpo. Ottawa consistently has one of the highest levels of transit ridership of any City of its size in North America. Let’s keep that level growing!

Minor hockey awards in Richmond JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

A table full of trophies and plaques greeted those attending the annual general meeting of the Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association (RMMHA) on Tuesday, April 19 at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. These trophies and plaques marked various achievements and performances by both adult volunteers and players over the course of the 2010-2011 season. The Dick Bissonnette Memorial Trophy for longtime outstanding service and dedication to the RMMHA was presented to Steve Gibson who began with the Association as a coach in 1991. He coached various competitive teams, was hockey development coordinator, was head coach in 1995, and coached various Goulbourn Rams teams. In 2006, he became director of hockey operations for the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven and in 2007 he became general manager of the Ottawa Senators women’s elite hockey program, a post that he still holds. “This is very, very special for me,” he said on receiving the award, adding that the RMMHA is a “very special association” that has been well run over the years. He noted that all of his children had worn the Richmond Royals jersey in minor hockey, just like he himself had done. The RMMHA Volunteer of the Year Award goes to an individual who demonstrates exceptional volunteer contributions at the team or Association level. This year’s recipient is Scott Scissons. A former player turned assistant coach, he spends countless hours at the arena helping out. He has the ability to relate with the young players and to oversee their development. The RMMHA Manager of the Year Award, which goes to a manager who exhibits a special dedication to parents, players and coaches, was presented to Ian Oracheski. He has been involved as a team manager with the RMMHA since his oldest son started to play hockey. The Lockie Hendsbee Trophy for trainer of the year was presented to Dave Stacey. This award goes to a trainer who has shown special dedication to player health and safety. Mr. Stacey is frequently at the arena, watching and cheering on Richmond teams. As a trainer this season, he helped the coaches both on and off the ice and

Real Estate Business Law Wills & Estates Environmental Law

took great care of the young players on the team. The RMMHA Coach of the Year Award, presented to a coach showing a special dedication to player development and team play, was presented to John Sunstrum. He has coached with the RMMHA for four years years and is considered a great teacher of the game, relating well to the players. This past season, his team finished first in its division and went on to win the championship. However, his primary focus always is that the players have fun. The Kim Long Trophy for referee of the year, given to a referee who by example promotes good sportsmanship in the game, was presented to Ryan Todd. This season Ryan referred at every level in District Four and ended up refereeing a total of 189 games. The RMMHA Goaltender of the Year Award recognizes excellence, sportsmanship and community spirit by a goalie. This year’s recipient is Jack Rabb of the Peewee B Black team. He gave his team a chance to win in every game thanks to his solid goaltending. It was not the best of seasons for the team which suffered through multiple consecutive losses but goalie Rabb faced each new game with a positive attitude, enjoying a stellar season in nets. The Dave Candline Trophy goes to a midget player who has shown dedication and sportsmanship in his years of midget hockey. See MINOR HOCKEY, page 5

Over the past years, Brenda Tirrell has been helping others in the community. At the annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards on Tuesday, April 19, the community thanked her for her contributions to the community as she received the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year Award. A Stittsville volunteer firefighter, she has been particularly active and involved in the past year. She was a driving force behind the renaming of the Stittsville arena as the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, working with the Leroux family and city of Ottawa officials to bring forward the proposal which became reality this past March with a centre ice ceremony at the arena at which she was one of the speakers. Last October, she served as race director for the inaugural 9 Run Run event which was held in Stittsville, involving members of the city of Ottawa’s emergency services as well as citizens. The event raised funds for s.t.e.p., a community initiative to address the need for residential substance abuse treatment, education and prevention for youth. The Stittsville Appreciation Awards featured not only the presentation of the Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year Award but also presentation of the Youth of the Year Award, the Senior of the Year Award and the Business of the Year Award for Stitts-

ville. The Youth Citizen of the Year Award went to Alexandra Power, a grade 12 student at South Carleton High School in Richmond, who has been involved in Guiding for the past 12 years. Currently a Ranger which is the oldest group for girls involved in guiding, she has earned the Lady Baden-Powell Award, Canada Cord, Commonweath Award and the coveted Chief Commissioner’s Gold Award. The 17 year old has also just completed her Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, a self directed development program for young Canadians aged 14 to 25. It challenges young people to achieve personal goals in four program areas, namely community service, skills, physical recreation and adventurous journey. She wrote about the connections between her Guiding experiences and the challenges of the Duke of Edinburgh program in the spring 2011 edition of Canadian Guider. Alexandra has accumulated almost 900 hours of community service in her high school years. She is also a skilled musician. Earlier this year, she was in London, Ontario to receive the Medal of Excellence from the Conservatory of Canada for having the highest mark in the province in her Level 5 piano exam, Contemporary Idioms Program. Her dream is to become a performance musician. She plays both guitar and piano in the senior jazz band

at South Carleton High School and also plays clarinet in the school’s senior concert band. She is also a member of the Stittsville concert band and its ten-piece band as well. The Senior Citizen of the Year Award this year was presented to Metin Akgun who is currently immediate past president of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). He served as an executive member of the SVA since its inception, holding the position of president from 2006 through to last fall. He joined the SVA after being involved in community affairs through participation in the affairs of the Wyldewood Homeowners Association. Over the years, he took a leading role in issues such as bussing in Stittsville and the Carp Road landfill. This year Mr. Akgun is chairing the SVA’s Artists and Authors in the Park event that is coming up in May. It has been Mr. Akgun’s efforts and leadership over the years that has ensured that the SVA has continued as an integral organization in Stittsville. Honoured as Business of the Year in Stittsville is the Dandelions Consignment Boutique on Stittsville Main Street, operated by Christine Kulla and Jen Bergsma. Dandelions has hosted a number of events, some in the community room at its Stittsville Main Street premises and some off-site, in which funds have been raised for causes such as the fight against breast cancer.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards this year had a surprise ending. Even the evening’s host, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, and special guest mayor Jim Watson were unaware of the surprise presentation of a Communitas Award following presentation of the Stittsville Appreciation Awards. The Communitas Award is an international award that recognizes exceptional businesses, organizations and individuals that unselfishly give of themselves and their resources to benefit their communities. The surprise recipient was Theresa Qadri, councillor Qadri’s wife and a community activist in Stittsville. The award takes its name from the sense of communitas that has defined humanity throughout history. Communitas is simply people helping people for the benefit of their community. Communitas itself is a Latin word that means people coming together for the good of a community. Its aim is to have a better world through volunteerism, investment and ethical, sustainable business practices.

The Communitas Awards program is an outgrowth of a pro bono recognition program of the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals. Founded in 1995, this Association supports the efforts of its member who contribute their marketing and communication talents to public service and charitable organizations. The latest recipients of Communitas Awards in the “Leadership in Individual Community Service” category include individuals in Los Angeles, Indianapolis, San Francisco, Wakefield (Rhode Island), Fort Lauderdale, North Bethesda (Maryland) and Colorado Springs. You can add Stittsville to the list. In the nomination submission for Theresa Qadri, she is described as “a beacon of light for the village of Stittsville.” “She is one of those rare individuals that people know they can count on whatever the situation,” the nomination states. “She inspires others to be involved by example,” the nomination continues. “The scope of her efforts range from fostering community pride, to events for youth, promoting talent, in

particular young talent at local events to helping those less fortunate, to easing the burden of individual families in crisis – Theresa does it all – and she does it well.” Theresa has served on the executive of the Stittsville Village Association for a number

of years now and currently is the Association’s events director, overseeing such events as the Canada Day celebrations, Village Fest and the Christmas Parade of Lights. She is also on the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society and is a

member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville where she is in line to be president in the coming year. Theresa is fundraiser chair and food services chair for the Stittsville/Kanata Relay for Life for Cancer and volunteers with the Stittsville Food Bank.

EDITORIAL

Organization of the Year Congratulations to those who received awards at the Stittsville Appreciation Awards ceremony last week and also all those who were nominated. It is a great honour to be acknowledged by your fellow citizens through a nomination for one of these awards. It was a particularly special event this year with the presence of city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. It is nice to see him in Stittsville. That Stittsville’s firefighters were nominated for Citizen of the Year was, in our view, extremely fitting because there is no one who better exemplifies community involvement and participation than our volunteer firefighter crew. But we would suggest that per-

haps the Stittsville Appreciation Awards should be expanded to include an award for Organization of the Year. This would include a wide array of organizations and groups in Stittsville whose contribution to the community’s well being and spirit make a big difference to the quality of life in the community. What would Stittsville be without the Lions Club, the Rotary Club, the Food Bank, Stittsville Minor Hockey, West Ottawa Soccer, Stittsville Minor Ball, Stittsville Scouting, Stittsville Guiding, our numerous School Councils, our various church groups like the Catholic Women’s League and the United Church Women, the Horticultural Society, the Historical Society – and on it goes.

We should be honouring one of these organizations each year in this Stittsville Appreciation Awards program. They all are volunteer driven and all are involved and participate in our community and make it a better, more lively place to live. That is the whole point of these Stittsville Appreciation Awards – providing a forum where we can as a community say thank you to fellow citizens who have made a significant contribution to our community and its spirit. Our local organizations do this and we should be including them in this special evening where we are showing our fellow citizens how much we appreciate them for their efforts in the community.

A nation in a frenzy, except for most of it In the space of three days we have an election and a royal wedding. Could it get any better than this? And was that a sarcastic question? Not really. There are people for whom a royal wedding is the biggest thing going. I have relatives who, back in 1981, listened to the Charles-Diana wedding on the radio. That’s serious. And there are people for whom a federal election is Christmas, Valentine’s Day and the opening of the duck hunting season all rolled into one. I may be one of those people, except for the duck hunting. Elections are exciting, full of surprises, with good things happening to people you like and bad things happening to people you don’t. And, unfortunately, vice versa. Plus, elections are good for you. Voting makes you a useful citizen, it’s easy to do and you feel virtuous afterwards. You may not be quite as use-

CHARLES GORDON ful to your country watching a royal wedding on TV, although you probably aren’t doing it any harm. The intriguing question is how many of you there really are. Because when you think of it this way, it’s not really all that relevant to us: two young people who don’t spend much of any time here and won’t have any influence over us even if William becomes king some day. By the way, Elton John is on the record as hoping that William will become king. It was in one of those magazines. In fact, there is no royal wedding fact too insignificant to make it into the media. Details of the guest list have been breathlessly revealed as if they were the latest revelations from Wikileaks. The CBC spent some of our valuable

taxpayer money the other day looking up people called Middleton and asking them what they thought about that. Of course, the CBC also spent some of our money finding nonpolitical people who were called Jack Layton or Elizabeth May, so there’s a journalistic consistency there. And, as anyone could have predicted, there have been literally hundreds of stories about how Britain is in a state of anticipatory frenzy and how Canada is too. Lacking hard evidence one way or the other, you wonder whether this is a case of rerunning an old story well past its due date. I may travel in the wrong circles, but the only time I see anyone frenzied over the royal wedding is when I turn on the television hoping to find a CBC item about someone who has the same name as Sir Wilfrid Laurier. There are, to be sure, people who are frenzied about just about anything but the fact

that one of them shows up on TV doesn’t say anything about the rest of us. It’s just a reliable old formula story, as stories about royalty always are. You interview the girl who gave the flower to the Queen. What did she say to you? She said “Thank you.” You interview the senior citizen who stood in line for three hours and wore her best hat. How thrilled were you? Did she wave? You don’t interview the people who ignored the whole thing, the bulk of the population, because indifference doesn’t make good television. Which brings us back to the

You want to say to them: “Suck it up, kid, and make the effort.” None of us are totally in love with a leader or a party either, but we go out and vote for one anyway, because it might make a difference. It fact, you could argue that it might make even more of a difference than someone getting married in England.

Making dreams come true SPECIAL TO THE NEWS A youngster will be able to enjoy a day at Disney World thanks to the youngsters at the Jackson Trails School Age Program at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville. In fact, thanks to the fundraising efforts of the children at the School Age Program, another child will be partly to Disney World as well. This all is possible after the children at the Jackson Trails School Age Program created art and bead work to sell at a Valentine’s Day silent auction, with the proceeds going to “Dreams Take Flight,” an organization that helps send children with physical, mental or social disabilities to Disney World for a day. The Valentine’s Day silent auction attended by the families of the Jackson Trails School Age program featured art and bead work which included both necklaces and bracelets. In addition, there was a cake raffle with four cakes up for grabs. John Brummell photo Every item and the cakes, all of which were Mike Bandille, far left, and Isabel Ruddy, far right, representatives of “Dreams Take Flight,” accept a giant cheque for $717 the product of the children during their time at representing monies raised by the Jackson Trails School Age Program for “Dreams Take Flight”, with the giant cheque being the child care, were sold, raising a total of $717. It presented by youngsters, from left to right, Kieran Brown, Kiera King, Felicity Bondy and Aubrey Nan. costs approximately $500 to send one child to Disney World, so this fundraising will ensure that one child goes to Disney World with enough money left over to make a good start on another child going. On Wednesday, April 20, representatives of “Dreams Take Flight” attended a ceremony at the Jackson Trails School Age Program at which a giant cheque made by the children at the child care had made, representing the funds raised in the Valentine’s Day silent auction. This whole idea of raising funds for “Dreams Take Flight” began when a representative of the organization did a presentation at the child care, explaining to the children how the organization helps send children with physical, mental or social disabilities to Disney World for a day. The representative showed photographs of the children attending Disney World and provided information on the cost and how it benefits the children who participate. This presentation inspired the children at the Jackson Trails School Age Program to do fundraising to help “Dreams Take Flight.” 453570

“The Way of the Cross” is an annual ecumenical Good Friday event in Richmond in which a wooden cross is carried, leading a procession from church to church. But this year’s event was different than what had become traditional for the event in that the journey focused on the 14 Stations of the Cross that tell the story of Christ’s journey carrying His cross on that original Good Friday. At the stops at each of the five churches in Richmond, brief scripture readings told the story, followed by a prayer and a short sung verse describing that particular station. This year’s “The Way of the Cross” on April 22 was hosted by St. Philip Catholic Church and the changed format was meant to help reflect how Catholics would be observing the day, namely by praying the Stations of the Cross. This focus was carried on through the refreshments

which were served at the St. Philip Parish Hall following the completion of “The Way of the Cross” at St. Philip Church. The refreshments were a soup and a bun, again reflective of the Catholic practice of fasting on Good Friday. About 80 people took part in this year’s “The Way of the Cross” in Richmond, which was held in sunshine under blue skies, something which does not always happen for this Good Friday tradition. It all began at 10:30 a.m. at the Grace Assembly at the Richmond Plaza where Rev. Giles Joly, parish priest of St. Philip Church, this year’s host, welcomed everyone and led the opening prayer, assisted by Saundra Vandenberg on the keyboard. Indeed, Saundra’s playing on the keyboard was a common happening at the stops along the route. Pastor John Spurrell of the Grace Assembly led the scripture readings and prayers for the first three Stations of the Cross

– Jesus is condemned to death, Jesus carries His Cross and Jesus falls for the first time. This all happened with a wooden cross prominently placed at the front of the sanctuary. It then became the focus as a nail was hammered into the cross, after which Brendon Spurrell lifted the wooden cross and led the procession from the Grace Assembly to the next stop on “The Way of the Cross,” St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street. Another three Stations of the Cross were celebrated at St. Paul’s, led by the church’s minister Rev. Carla Van Delen. It was Rev. Van Delen herself who then took up the wooden cross after another nail had been pounded into it and led the procession as she carried it to its next destination, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian

Church farther south on McBean Street. At St. Andrew’s, those on “The Way of the Cross” were greeted by a candle-lit display inside the front doors of the church, while there were psalm leaves spread along the church’s aisles. Rev. Teresa Charlton, minister at St. Andrew’s, led the prayers and singing for three more Stations of the Cross before it was time to have the cross proceed on its way, this time carried by Andre Pavelich, with the procession making its way to St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, arriving there at 11:30 a.m., one hour into “The Way of the Cross.” At St. John’s, rector Rev. Michel Dubord, assisted by parishioner Ray Wells, led the prayers and singing for three more Stations of the Cross – the tenth

‘The Way of the Cross’ in Richmond

Station, Jesus is stripped of His clothes; the eleventh Station, Jesus is nailed to the Cross; and the twelfth Station, Jesus dies on the Cross. After another nail was pounded into the wooden cross, Roger McCarthy assumed the task of carrying it to the fifth and final stop on this year’s “The Way of the Cross,” St. Philip Catholic Church where another cross draped with a purple cloth, symbolic of Lent and Good Friday, greeted those on “The Way of the Cross” as they entered the church for the final two Stations – The body of Jesus is taken down from the Cross and Jesus is laid in the tomb. After a closing read by Rev. Giles Joly which told of the resurrection of Jesus, those who had participated in this year’s “The Way of the Cross” made their way to the adjoining parish hall for light refreshments, the end of this year’s “The Way of the Cross” in Richmond.

Literature

Third book of trilogy coming from author Elizabeth Radmore JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

A spirited young heroine. Add in gypsies and an Irish setting. And put it in the hands of a natural born storyteller. And you have an adventure story that is funny and also poignant. Yes, that’s what you get in Elizabeth Radmore’s first book, “Cushla: Memoirs of a Reluctant Gypsy Girl,” published in 2005 by General Store Publishing of Renfrew. And the author, who now lives in Stittsville, followed this initial success up with a second book, “Cushla: Gypsy Spirit” which was published by General Store Publishing in February 2010. This second book builds on the first, telling how Cushla and her family left Ireland to come to Canada in the 1950’s where Cushla was faced with a strange school, bullying classmates and financial hardship. But Cushla’s spirit would pull through. Indeed, in telling the story of this family’s survival in a new and different country, this book is true Canadiana, an adventure story that has moments of fun and periods of poignancy. And this is not the end of our relationship with Cushla. Author Radmore has completed a third book of this “Cushla” trilogy that is now being edited and should be published this fall. Called “Cushla: Almost Magic,” it will end the series of three books. “I’m putting Cushla to bed,” Elizabeth

says. It has been quite a writing journey for her since she first decided to try to fill a void in her life from the death of her beloved mother in 2001. She had previously written poetry, even receiving an Editor’s Choice Award for Outstanding Achievement in Poetry from the National Library of Poetry in the United States in 1998. She enrolled in a creative writing course and although initially she felt totally out of her depth, she stuck with it and eventually started to write something from her past, albeit fiction, but based on actual events. She had always entertained family and friends with stories from her childhood and so these recollections formed the basis for her initial book. What eventually became her first book tells the story of a 13 year old girl who in 1951 travels around Northern Ireland with her father as he searches for work. Eventually they join a band of gypsies. She added characters and changed the names of others while weaving many of the events of her childhood into “Cushla: Memoirs of a Reluctant Gypsy Girl.” “It’s pretty close to a lot of the things that happened,” she says not only of this first book but especially of her second book telling of her family’s arrival and survival in Canada. An accomplished artist who belongs to the Ottawa Mixed Media Association and who has had her work in various

Better cancer care, closer to home, when you need it

Nicolas Ruszkowski Nicolas Ruszkowski VP, Communications Ottawa Hospital Paula Doering - Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario

I haven’t been a “hospital insider” long. When I joined the hospital in 2008, my health care learning curve was steep, and I was lucky to beneﬁt from the help of many leaders. Among those I relied on most is Paula Doering, our Senior Vice President, Clinical Programs, and Regional Vice-President, Cancer Care Ontario. Paula is leading the transformation of our Cancer Program. Today, she’s your columnist, telling you what you need to know about the project. We’re enhancing the quality of cancer services in all parts of our region by adopting a new way to provide cancer care to patients who have completed their active treatment. Until now, patients were followed for many years by their oncologist(s) – either at The Ottawa Hospital or in one of our regional cancer clinics. Today, in keeping with best practices in other international and provincial cancer programs, patients will be referred back to their family doctors, when appropriate. We’ll provide patients and their family doctor with recommendations for their

ongoing monitoring and care. If at any time patients have questions or concerns about symptoms or their plan of care, they’ll be rapidly assessed by their oncologist at our cancer centre. Family physicians, too, will have the chance to consult oncologists when necessary. Some patients don’t have family doctors. We’ll now ﬂag patients who are admitted to our program without a family doctor, and work to link them to a family doctor. What does this mean for patients or their families? The new strategy ensures that follow-up is provided through the family doctor who knows them best, while newly diagnosed patients beneﬁt from faster access to oncologists, at the time of diagnosis and during active treatment. Our oncologists will still be front and centre in the follow-up care patients receive. We are developing tools to actively support patients and family doctors. This includes providing survivorship care plans that summarize the cancer care received and document the plan for follow-up care. It means strengthening partnerships and links with the community resources best positioned to meet the diverse needs of cancer survivors. Finally, it means improved access to quality cancer care across our region. Not only will we continue providing world class care in our cancer centres and clinics. We will also expand the use of telemedicine. No matter where they reside, patients will have access to the same high standard of care thanks to easy remote access to The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Program. We’re listening to our patients, and working towards better care, closer to home, when they need it. 464439

exhibitions, Elizabeth used her artistic talents to produce the original painting of Cushla, a gypsy wagon and an Irish home that is featured on the cover of her first book. After she had completed the manuscript for her first book and it had undergone an initial editing, she happened to see a book by General Store Publishing of Renfrew on display in a book store and subsequently sent a couple of chapters of the book to the firm. The story captivated the publisher and the book was published and has been selling well since then. In the editing process, the family’s voyage to Canada was cut from this first book, with the advice to make it into a second book. With these additional adventures still to be told, she wrote a sequel “Cushla: Gypsy Spirit” which was released in February 2010. A similar thing happened in that during the editing process for this second book, it was suggested that the story be cut off while Cushla is in her early teens, with Cushla’s subsequent adventures forming the basis for Elizabeth’s third and final book of the trilogy, “Cushla: Almost Magic.” This third book will complete the adventures of Cushla and who knows – there may even be the re-appearance in it of someone from the first book, perhaps someone who had a crush on Cushla. Could this be a love story? “It’s a story for everybody,” Elizabeth says about her second book which details

She has one idea which she has called “Adventure in a Bubble” but it has not advanced past the idea stage and she is not even sure at what age group the book would be directed.

We Welcome New Patients & Emergencies

Easter was in the air at the final euchre of the current series hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday, April 21, just three days before Easter Sunday. A giant Easter bunny at the entrance doorway greeted the euchre players who took up 17 tables at the four-hand euchre party. There were other Easter decorations around the hall, including a string of colourful Easter eggs over the bar window. A tall Easter basket of goodies, the special draw prize of the evening, was won by Anne Williams. An Easter bonnet draw for those wearing Easter bonnets to the event was won by Dawnean Featherston who took home a potted Easter lily as a result. Two of the most colourful Easter bonnets on the premises were sported by Lions Club members Beth Lewis, who coordinates the annual euchre series for the Lions Club, and Pat Peskett. In her remarks before handing out the prizes for the final night of euchre, Beth Lewis thanked all of the players for their support of the euchres over the

past weeks. She also thanked everyone for bring the food and refreshments which made for a tasty wrapup potluck lunch on the final night. She reminded all of the euchre players that Thursday evening euchre parties would be held beginning on Thursday, April 28 at 7:30 p.m. at the Legion Hall in Stittsville. As for the winners at this final night of euchre at the Lions Hall, Ken Campbell finished first with 86 points. Jean Howell was second while Judy Knox and Venita Pilon tied for third. Debby Fisher won the booby prize while Margaret Hobbs had the hidden score. The door prize went to Carol Pavelich while the 50/50 draw winners were Debbie Quinn and Pat Fitzpatrick. Even though Easter was coming, meaning that bunnies, not skunks, should have been front and centre, skunks did show up during the course of the evening. Brenda Lee Lewis and Judy Creelman suffered one skunk while Frank Trefiro and Frank Fanning experienced a skunk as well. A special draw was held on this final evening of euchre at the Lions Hall, with the prize being a framed print of Stittsville’s Main Street as painted by the late Bev Cutts. Chris Costello was the winner in this draw.

She herself is encouraged by such comments, adding that hearing positive feedback about the books make her feel good that people are enjoying her work. Although she does book signings and her books are available at Coles, Indigo and Chapters as well as at local book stores in the area, Elizabeth acknowledges that a person does not write for monetary reward. “You don’t do it for money,” she says, adding that a writer writes because he or she has to write to be fulfilled. Cushla, the title name in the three books, is an Irish term of endearment.

Wildlife Habitat Canada is now in Stittsville. The national non-profit charitable conservation organization has relocated its head office from Courtwood Crescent in Ottawa to second floor premises at 120 Iber Road in Stittsville. Wildlife Habitat Canada held an open house at its new premises on Wednesday, April 20. Highlighting this open house was the presence of artist W. Allan Hancock who created the 2011 Wildlife Habitat Canada Conservation Stamp. He was on hand not only to chat with those attending the open house but also to sign postcards, stamps and limited edition prints of his winning work. In addition, his original painting on which the 2011 Conservation Stamp is based was on display. Founded in 1984, Wildlife Habitat Canada relocated to Iber Road in Stittsville in February. The organization, which works through partnerships with communities, landowners, governments, non-government organizations and industry, tries to find solutions to address problems facing wildlife habitat in Canada. Its objectives are to promote the conservation, restoration and enhancement of wildlife habitat in order to retain the presence of wildlife; to provide a funding mechanism for wildlife habitat conservation programs in Canada; and to foster coordination in the conservation community across Canada. Its chief annual initiative is its Wildlife Habitat Canada Conservation Stamp program which in 2009-2010 provided about $1.2 million to the organization. This in turn supported 26 grants provided by Wildlife Habitat

Canada for projects across the country. In addition, the Wildlife Habitat Canada funding in turn leveraged more than $6.8 million in partner funding for these conservation projects which helped to conserve or influence over 42,966 acres of wildlife habitat. A total of 300,000 Conservation Stamps are printed annually. They are purchased primarily by waterfowl hunters to validate their Migratory Game Bird Hunting Permit. The stamps are also sold to collectors and individuals interested in contributing to the conservation of wildlife habitat. The revenue of stamp, related print sales and associated products are invested in conservation projects across Canada. Since 1985, Wildlife Habitat Canada has provided over $60 million to hundreds of habitat conservation projects across Canada through its granting program. Each year a national competition is held to select the winning art to be featured on the stamp. This year’s art done by W. Allan Hancock is called “Along the Edgewater – American Wigeon,” and features a pair of American Wigeon ducks in their breeding plumage swimming by a sprig of blackberry brambles growing around grizzled stumps at the water’s edge. Mr. Hancock, who lives on Vancouver Island, placed the scene in early October not only because the pair of ducks have returned to their breeding plumage after a summer molt but because he finds the colours of blackberry brambles more visually appealing in the fall. In his painting, he tried to depict the rich and exciting habitat that he has always found exists along the edgewater. Mr. Hancock first came to appreciate nature when visiting with outdoors-loving relatives in the Timmins area as a youngster. This, along with

his interest in art, saw him eventually become a wildlife artist with a greeting card company in Saskatchewan. In 1995, he moved to Vancouver Island to pursue his art career as a full time, self-employed artist focused on the natural beauty of wildlife. Since then, Mr. Hancock’s artwork has been selected for numerous fundraising projects for wildlife and habitat conservation purposes. He has been selected as the Ducks Unlimited Canada’s Artist of the Year and received the Waterfowl Art Award in 1996. Besides winning the competition for this year’s Canadian Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp, he also did the 2005 stamp as well. Mr. Hancock notes that wildlife artists like himself have a great appreciation of nature and so they greatly appreciate opportunities like the Habitat Conservation Stamp program where they can give back and help preserve the wildlife habitat that they love. Famous wildlife artist Robert Bateman has been responsible for three of the 27 Habitat Conservation Stamps since the program started in 1985, including the initial one in 1985 and the 25th anniversary one in 2009. Wildlife Habitat Canada is involved with Mr. Bateman in The Robert Bateman Get To Know Program which encourages youth to connect with nature. A cornerstone initiative of this program is an annual contest for works of art, writing, photography or video about scenes in nature. Winners of the contest have their works published in an annual calendar and/or receive prizes. One entry is selected by Wildlife Habitat Canada for its Youth Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp. Proceeds from the sale of the Youth Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamp go towards wildlife habitat conservation projects undertaken by youth.

Stittsville News - APRIL 28, 2011

Create the perfect summer escape – at home (NC)—When it comes to spending time outside, make the most of the space you have. Whether you have a small yard, simple patio, elaborate deck or sprawling backyard and garden, visit a one–stop shop such as Lowe’s (lowes.ca) where you’ll find everything you need to get started and create your dream outdoor escape. Keep the following in mind when compiling that important outdoor shopping list: Invest in lighting. Make the warm, spring evenings last even longer with outdoor lighting. Look for lights with dimmers for a muted effect. Solar lighting is another great option – they require no wires and are easy to install. Add privacy. Create a secluded feeling by adding beautiful outdoor fabric panels, movable screens, or solid wood fencing. Choose durable goods. All–weather patio furnishings are essential for outdoor living. They hold up to the elements, but still look good. Look for sets that feature hand brushed finishes, rust–free frames and UV–protected fabric. Add comfort. Decorate your outdoor space to make it as comfortable as your indoor spaces. Look for colorful outdoor rugs and durable all– weather fabrics. Multitask. Make the most of your space with mul-

tifunctional furniture. Look for coffee tables that double as beverage coolers or deck boxes that keep clutter at bay and act as a convenient place to store outdoor must– haves. Show off. Highlight your yard’s best features. If you have a beautiful garden or great views, arrange seating so you can enjoy the landscape. Include flowers. Container gardens are a good way to grow fresh, organic herbs and vegetables in a limited space. Planters can be coordinated with patio furnishings and go a long way in creating a vibrant look without the commitment typically involved with keeping up a garden. Personalize. Today’s modern furnishings allow you to create the look and feel of the outdoor space you desire. If you crave peaceful afternoons reading and relaxing, invest in loungers, hammocks and gliders for a serene backyard oasis. If you have a love for entertaining, glam your space up with gazebo chandeliers and formal dining sets such as the Dellinger, available at Lowe’s. With everything available from grills to outdoor kitchens, bistro tables and chairs to formal dining and conversation sets, anything goes! www.newscanada.com

For 13 years now, CPI Interiors has helped transform our homes and the homes of those in our community into the vibrant and stylish dream spaces that we’ve always wanted. Offering services far beyond that of your average interior designer and decorator is no doubt a key ingredient to their recipe for success but when you ask Catherine Pulcine, President and Senior Designer, why CPI Interiors has ﬂourished her answer is twofold. First and foremost, it is because of the support of the wonderful people of this community without which the CPI Interiors we know and rely on wouldn’t be here today. Catherine and all of the staff would like to take this time to thank all of their clients for placing their trust in this unique company. The second reason is the CPI team itself. CPI Interiors have brought together an amazing team of superb designers to form a creative collective that you’d be hard pressed to match anywhere. With a special team like that working with unique suppliers, it’s no wonder that CPI Interiors’ results Before

Create a ‘garden of eatin’ (NC)—With the cost of food on the rise, there’s no better time to start growing your own organic herbs, fruits and vegetables. The best part about incorporating edible items into the garden (aside from the taste and health benefits) is that you don’t need to be an avid gardener or have a large garden space to get started. Herbs and vegetables can easily be grown right in your backyard garden or in containers on your patio or balcony. Certain items such as tomatoes come in a variety of vibrant colours and when mixed in with traditional flowers and plants, make for breathtaking displays.

• Oregano

• Thyme

• Cherry tomatoes

• Peppers

• Sage

• Seed variety packs

• Peppermint

• Fruit bushes

are what everyone wants for their living space. No matter whether it’s a brief consultation or a major renovation, the aim is to ensure that your journey to your new environment is as pleasant as the completed project. Basic plans and accommodating contractors can and will create whatever you have in mind but without the skilled eye and experience of a designer in the mix, crucial errors can be made that will leave you with a space that is not nearly as efﬁcient or esthetically pleasing as you’d dreamt it would be. From as little as a few adjustments to a complete re creation a designer can bring your ideas for your project to a level even more wonderful and functional than you thought possible.

As a result, homeowners save money because they do not need to purchase potentially costly soil amendments to maintain healthy soil. When making compost, homeowners can use a host of ingredients they likely already have lying around the house. Dead houseplants, for instance, can be effective compostingredients as long as the plants were not thorny or riddled with disease. Homeowners with pet rabbits, or gerbils, or hamsters can even add these animalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manure to their compost. When doing so, include the wood or paper bedding from the animalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crate. Another potentially valuable compost ingredient is vegetable scraps, such as carrot peelings, or even eggshells. When adding

Compost can improve soil structure and texture and improve the soilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to hold water. Eco-conscious green-thumbers love compost because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-natural, while cost-conscious homeowners like compost because they can improve their lawn and garden without spending a dime. Adding compost improves soil fertility and can stimulate healthy root development, enabling lawns and gardens to better withstand potentially harsh weather, such as summer heat waves or windy fall and winter afternoons. Compost is effective because it provides food for microorganisms that contribute to overall soil health. When these microorganisms are fed, they produce phosphorous, potassium and nitrogen.

(MS) — Highlighting, or up lighting, is a landscaping technique in which light from below is used to accent certain focal points in a landscape. In many instances, the light is used to illuminate a particularly impressive or unique plant. When highlighting, two or more spot light fixtures are placed at the base of a landscape component and pointed upward. While highlighting is most commonly used to illuminate plants, it can be used to draw attention to other focal points of a landscape as well, including sculptures or other garden structures. Light fixtures are aimed away from observers as a means to preventing glare, and oftentimes the fixtures themselves are camouflaged to maintain the natural beauty of the landscape.

Kanata Vaccum and Sewing specializes in Beam® vacuum system Clinical Research shows a Beam® Central Vacuum relieves all seven major allergy symptoms: • activity ; 46 per cent improvement, • non-nasal: 48 per cent improvement • nasal: 47 per cent improvement, • eye: 61 per cent improvement, • sleep: 44 per cent improvement • emotional: 58 per cent improvement, • practical: 52 per cent improvement. A Beam® Central Vacuum System removes dust and allergens from your living area, carrying them to the power unit typically located in the garage. Proven allergy relief Combating home-based allergens requires a number of steps, including preventing their entry to the home, controlling temperature and humidity levels, use of air cleaning devices or systems as well as hypo-allergenic decor and careful cleaning. Use of a central vacuum systems can result in a signiﬁcant reduction of allergy symptoms, according to a study of hay fever patients by the University of California (February 2002). The study found that common symptoms of hay fever, such as itchy, watery eyes and runny nose and sneezing, were signiﬁcantly less severe during the periods in which participants used the central vacuum system instead of an upright vacuum. A Beam Central Vacuum System is easy to install in any home - old or new! Beam systems are not new to Canada, in fact, many homes are already partially installed for a Beam. If your home is 30 years old or less, you may be “roughed-in” for a Beam Central Vacuum System already! The rough-in process means your house was built with central vacuum piping installed in your walls. By doing this, it limits the amount of time it takes to install a Beam.

With a basic rough-in complete, wall outlets can be installed, then the power unit can be installed in the basement, garage, or other compact spaces. You don’t have a rough-in. Can you still get a Beam? Absolutely! Installation is possible in any home. Your local Beam expert has installation specialists that can install in any home. Even century homes are possible for a Beam installation. To get your new Beam, visit your Beam expert. You can arrange to have your new central cleaning system installed, or do-it-yourself! Either way, you will notice a clean difference in your home when you get a Beam. Your local expert serves you best Not just anyone can become a local Beam dealer, which is why we call them Beam Experts. At Beam, we select the professionals with a quality reputation, lots of experience and who know customer service is number one. This way, we can assure that your Beam experience is a good one.

The past season was a good one for Stittsville’s speedskating brother and sister duo of

Oliver and Alison Gervais. The short-track speedskaters both saw their careers on the ice advance. Alison Gervais, 15, qualified through her Ontario Cup per-

formances for the provincials where she earned a third. This in turn qualified her for the Eastern Canada nationals in Toronto where she placed tenth in her age group. This was the first time that she had won a medal at the provincial competition and also the first time that she had qualified for nationals. That’s what made it a successful skating season for her. A member of the Ottawa Pacers Speedskating Club who has now completed her fourth year as a speedskater, she says that she likes speedskating not only because it is fun but because, as she says, it is “a sport that depends on you.” A grade ten student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, Alison is now focused on track and field at the school this spring. This summer she hopes to follow a dryland training program and will be back on the blades in September. Her brother Oliver, 17 and a grade 12 student at Sacred Heart, looks upon the past season as a successful one as his times all improved over the course of the season, something that he attributes to his rigorous training. Of course, the highlight of his season was making the Ontario team for the Canada Winter Games in Halifax where

Goulbourn Hornets hot in playoffs, win gold SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The Goulbourn Hornets came through when it counted most. After a third place finish in their pool play in Division 1 of the recent Blessed Sacrament bantam boys’ basketball tournament in Hamilton, the Hornets rattled off two playoff victories to captured the gold medals. In semi-final action, the Hornets faced the Cambridge Centaurs, taking a 28-21 halftime lead. The Hornets extended this lead to 46-31 going into the fourth quarter thanks to a stingy defense and good outside shooting. The Centaurs tried a comeback but fell short, with the Hornets winning 57-51 and advancing to the gold medal game. This gold medal game was against the Niagara Falls Red Raiders. It was a team that the Hornets knew well, having faced them twice in a January tournament and winning both times, although only by a total margin of six points. But this time the Hornets used solid team play, accurate shooting and a dominant inside game to chalk up a 58-40 victory and the tournament championship. The Hornets had quite a time in pool play in this tournament including a last second loss.

On the Friday night of the tournament, the Hornets squeezed out a two point victory against the Guelph CYO All Stars, a fast team with good shooters. The Hornets, though focussed on sound defense and controlling the tempo of the game and this strategy worked with a 58-56 victory. But the Hornets were in for more drama the next day. Playing the North Toronto Huskies, a team that the Hornets had lost to back in December, it was a tight game. In the final minute, with the Hornets trying to protect a one point lead, the Huskies tried to penetrate the Hornets’ defense but failed. However, as the clock ticked down, North Toronto threw up a desperation three pointer and, lo and behold, it went in, giving North Toronto the victory. The Huskies had to recover fast from this last second loss, with the KitchenerWaterloo Vipers, a team ranked in the top ten in the province, as the next opponent. Things did not get off to a good start and the Hornets found themselves down 37-12 at halftime. The Hornets could not overcome this deficit and ended up losing 5436 to the Vipers. Then the playoff round started and the Hornets got back to their winning ways to bring home the gold medals.

It has been a time of “firsts” for Sacred Heart High School student Corey Young. The 17 year old grade 12 student has just finished appearing in the school’s musical “The Wizard of Oz,” in which he played the roles of Dorothy’s

Uncle Henry and a guard. “It was my first musical so I loved the whole thing,” he says, while recalling the hours and hours of rehearsals involved. “It was a lot of fun,” he says about the experience, praising his fellow cast members and the teachers who led the project. And for Corey, he would not only rehearse at Sacred Heart

Did you know

for “The Wizard of Oz,” but then he would rush downtown for an evening rehearsal for another first, singing in the Opera Lyra chorus for the opera Lucia Di Lammermoor which was staged over four nights recently at the National Arts Centre. It was not only his first performance exposure to opera but it was the first time that he had

sung in a chorus with others. “It’s pretty difficult when you have everyone singing around you,” Corey says about this experience, while also noting that this was his first opera, something that he had never done before. And if this were not enough “firsts,” Corey also sang in the Kiwanis Music Festival for the first time, participating in the solo, duet and ensemble categories for musical theatre.

Stittsville News - APRIL 28, 2011

“It’s a lot of firsts,” Corey himself admits about this recent flurry of musical performances and certainly a change of pace for someone whose previous perforCorey Young mances have been playing at school coffee houses with his four-member band. With the band, which was formed about a year ago, Corey plays rotates between playing the guitar and keyboard and also does vocals at times. Because of his other recent musical commitments, the band has not been getting together too often, even to jam. Why? “No time,” says Corey. That’s not the only activity that has suffered from his recent spate of musical “firsts.” He has worked at the SuperStore in Kanata since the end of grade nine but lately his time there has been little because his other musical commitments. In addition, he has been known to perform in the Wednesday Wakeup coffee houses in the foyer at Sacred heart but this too has been abandoned of late because of his busy schedule. Corey, who has been playing hockey since he was five years old and who used to play at the competitive level, began the season playing midget house league but had to give it up because of his music involvement. Corey has been taking singing lessons since he was in grade ten which was about the same time that he taught himself how to play the piano after mastering the guitar. He is now involved not in something musical but in rugby at Sacred Heart as practices have begun for the upcoming season. Last year was his first year playing rugby, with the team, filled with rookies, finishing as the best team in the west part of the city. He likes rugby because it is fun, players must be aggressive and because it is very much a team game. “Now it’s one of my favourite sports,” he says about rugby. Corey has been accepted at both the University of Ottawa and Carleton University for the fall but is pretty sure that he will be attending the University of Ottawa where he will be taking marketing commerce with a minor in voice. And he views even his marketing commerce in a musical context, saying that such a course should help him in marketing himself as a musician or in marketing bands in the musical marketplace. He hopes to have a future career in music, quite simply, as he says, “because it’s my favourite thing.”

Hornets grab EOBA championship SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The 2011 Eastern Ontario Basketball Association (EOBA) champion is the Goulbourn Hornets Major Midget “AA” girls’ basketball team. The Hornets earned the EOBA championship thanks to a dominating 51-21 victory over the Ottawa Xelles in the championship game in Cornwall on Saturday, April 16. In this gold medal game, the Hornets

combined solid offensive and defensive play to rack up their impressive 30-point win. The Hornets had advanced to this gold medal game after winning a much closer contest against Nepean. The Hornets ended up winning 39-36 but not before the team’s energy and teamwork gave them the upper hand in the hard fought battle. The Goulbourn Hornets will now be playing in the provincial championships which are being held in Ottawa this coming weekend.

The Ottawa Senators’ season may have ended long ago but you wouldn’t know it from the sounds coming from Ms. Kelly Butler’s grade 2/3 class at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond on Wednesday, April 20. “Go, Sens, Go” cheers could be heard coming from the classroom. And why? Because the students were celebrating and enjoying a visit by Sparatcat, the Senators’ ambassador of fun and chief mascot. Spartacat was there thanks to the class’ entry being selected for a free pizza lunch with Spartacat in a program which encourages reading by students. The students had been reading every day in order to submit an entry in the program. And when Spartacat is in the classroom, the Sens rule! A number of the students were wearing Sens jerseys and Spartacat willingly autographed any jerseys being worn by the students. Students had their photographs taken with Sparty and Sparty hugged the students and shared high fives with many of them. All this and pizza too!

Why not Easter cupcakes? JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

John Curry photo

Showing off cupcakes decorated at the Easter cupcake decorating session at Dandelions Consignment Boutique in Stittsville are Julianna Robinson, left, and Little Cakes Cupcakes co-owner and baker Shakira Whitton.

Special events like Easter bring on special activities. And while Easter is best known for eggs and the Easter bunny, don’t forget about cupcakes because, quite simply, cupcakes are getting to be a favourite for any and all special occasions – birthdays, weddings, Valentines Day and, yes, Easter. Just ask those who attended the Easter cupcake decorating session in the community room at Dandelions Consignment Boutique on Stittsville Main Street in down-

town Stittsville on Sunday afternoon, April 10. For them, cupcakes and Easter are a perfect match. “It’s been a fun filled cupcake hour,” Shakira Whitton, co-owner and baker of Little Cups Cupcakes of Stittsville said near the end of the one hour session. “It looks like the Easter Bunny has been here,” she added when surveying the table littered with deflated icing tubes and depleted sprinkles containers where youngsters decorated their cupcakes, preparing them as Easter treats. Ms. Whitton observed that youngsters on

a cupcake decorating mission clearly do not care what the cupcake itself is like – they are much more interested in the icing and the sprinkles. For this Easter decorating session, green and blue icing were the most popular. A similar session back at Valentines time featured pink and white icing, two colours more attuned to that special event. Little Cakes Cupcakes is a home-based business in Stittsville which supplies cupcakes for events ranging from birthday parties to wedding to corporate gatherings. Dandelions Consignment Boutique accepted small voluntary donations to help fight breast cancer from those families participating in this Easter cupcake decorating session.

Munster Union Cemetery

464316

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS The annual meeting of the Munster Union Cemetery coming up on Tuesday, May 3 continues a practice going back to 1942. This is when operation of the cemetery, founded in 1886, was first turned over to a Board of Trustees. Prior to that, the cemetery had been looked after by the Munster Union Cemetery Incorporated. The Munster Union Cemetery dates back to 1886 when Thomas Tubman and his wife, the former Isabella Hill, provided two acres of land as the site for a cemetery in Munster. Mr. Tubman believed that the Munster area needed to have a non-denominational cemetery in

its midst to meet the needs of those for whom burial in a church cemetery was not preferred or possible. The original two acre site of the Munster Union Cemetery has grown in recent years. In February 1980, a parcel of land was obtained along the south side of the original cemetery. In April 2002, land was obtained extending the cemetery property west to the Munster Road. The land on the north side of the access road was then donated. This year’s annual meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Munster Union Cemetery will be held on Tuesday, May 3 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Munster United Church on Munster Road in Munster. It is open to the public.
