Competitors from as far away as North Carolina, Georgia, Vermont and New York State as well as from across Ontario and Quebec. But they did not come to shoot a puck in a net or throw a ball through a hoop. Rather they came to participate in a North American Scrabble Players Association sanctioned Scrabble tournament, the first time that such a major Scrabble tournament had been held in Stittsville. All in all, 60 Scrabble players attended for two days of play in the Ottawa Scrabble Club’s John Weston Memorial Tournament at the Stittsville Legion Hall. This is the first time that the Ottawa Scrabble Club has held the tournament in Stittsville, a decision that can be attributed to Matthew Tunnicliffe of Stittsville, a Club director who was in charge of the tournament. “This year I was organizing so I picked Stittsville,” Mr. Tunnicliffe explained, noting that many of the players are from out of town and stay in area hotels.

Humour in church - it’s no joke JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
Laughter and humour. We all experience them every day. So why not in church? That’s exactly what happened at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond last Sunday, May 1 when Holy Humour Sunday was celebrated. Yes, that’s right – Holy Humour Sunday. And before you think that this is some-
thing new in the church, while it may be a first at St. Paul’s, it is part of a church tradition that goes back centuries, to the earliest days of Christianity. Centuries ago in Eastern Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant countries, the week following Easter Sunday, including the so-called “Bright Sunday” which was the first Sunday after Easter, was observed by the faithful as “days of joy and laughter.” See HOLY HUMOUR SUNDAY, page 6

St. Stephen Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street. Grade five student Hannah Girard won the first prize for her idea of turning plastic garbage bags into bracelets which she called “Enviro-Wristlets.” The process involves taking plastic bags, cutting them up into strips and then creating a wrist bracelet from the strips. Hannah is a student in Mrs. Lisa Addison’s class at St. Stephen School. At the prize ceremony which was held at the Museum of Nature, Hannah received her first prize certificate from Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi. The certificate praises Hannha’s “Enviro-Wristlets” for being made entirely out of recycled plastic bags to help save the environment one step at a time. A team of four grade five students in Mme. Vincenza Nicoletti’s class at St. Stephen Catholic School captured second prize in the contest for coming up with an arm case for school supplies.

It was déjà vu all over again for Gordon O’Connor, as voters elected him to his fourth term as MP in Carleton Mississippi Mills. O’Connor will return to Parliament as part of a majority government, with the Tories picking up 167 seats in the May 2 election, with all polls reporting. “It means four years of stability,” said O’Connor. “It means the government can plan for the long term. “We have been on continuous election preparation.” O’Connor won his riding by one of the widest margins across the country, taking 43,644 votes and 56.8 per cent of the riding, with all 299 polls reporting – about one per cent less than his victory in the 2008 election. He easily defeated Liberal newcomer Karen McCrimmon, who finished second with 24 per cent – about one per cent higher than the Liberals received in the 2008 election. O’Connor was first elected to the House of Commons in 2004, and was reelected during the 2006 and 2008 elections. He has served in Cabinet as Minister of National Defence, Minister of National Revenue, and Minister of State and Chief Government Whip. Preliminary results showed Erin Peters of the New Democratic Party rising to third place with 14.7 per cent and the Green’s John Hogg finishing with less than 5 per cent. With 272 of the 299 polls reporting, the voter turnout for Carleton-Mississippi Mills was at 72.6 per cent, rising from 65 per cent in the previous election.

gion, with only David McGuinty and Mauril Belanger holding on to Liberal seats in Ottawa South and Ottawa-Vanier. In Ottawa Centre, Paul Dewar, son of former Ottawa mayor Marion Dewar secured his seat for the NDP. ELECTION NIGHT Cheers erupted from the several dozen supporters at O’Connor’s campaign headquarters when the televised reports announced an O’Connor win. The freshly-elected MP joined his supporters in front of the television sets watching the numbers slowly creep across the screen. Suddenly, an even louder roar filled the room with the announcement the Tories had won a majority. A chorus of boos followed as the photographs of Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff, Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe and NDP leader Jack Lay-

ton flashed across the screen. O’Connor said he looked forward to crossing swords with the NDP in their new role as the Official Opposition in the House of Commons. “We actually prefer the NDP (over the Liberals),” said O’Connor. “It will give the people a clear choice, either capitalism or socialism.” O’Connor said he was never worried about reports of the growing popularity of the New Democratic Party sweeping
McCRIMMON Despite getting just about half the vote of O’Connor, McCrimmon said she will return to fight again. Standing on a chair while addressing about 50 Liberal supporters at the Scottish Glen Restaurant in Stittsville at 11:20 p.m. on election night last Monday, McCrimmon said that there are still things that need to get done. “This is just step one,” she said about this election. “This is not the end.” McCrimmon promised to run in the next federal election. “Absolutely,” she said. “But will there be anything left of my country?” she said. McCrimmon said that the one outstanding lesson that she learned in this, her first federal election campaign, is that it’s really all about people and that, “in the end, that’s all that matters.” “We have done really well here in the big scheme of things,” she said about the results in the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding. “We gave it 110 per cent,” she added, saying that this was just the beginning. “Together we can make a difference,” she said before standing down from the chair. But she was quickly up again
on the chair to add one small request. “One other thing,” she said. “Can I have a beer now?” HOGG Hogg watched the election returns on a laptop surrounded by about a dozen Green Party supporters at Graffitis Italian Eatery and Saloon at the Holiday Inn in Kanata on Monday night, May 2. Though he failed to make a dent in Carleton-Mississippi Mills, Hogg said this election was an historic night, with Green leader Elizabeth May defeating longtime Tory cabinet minister Gary Lunn to win the Saanich-Gulf Islands riding in B.C. “This is a tremendous success because the political landscape has changed,” said Hogg. “We actually have a Green in the Commons.” That means Canadians will be hearing from the Greens for the next four years and will actually be hearing from Greens in the next election campaign, he said. “I think it’s a harbinger of things to come,” Hogg said. “I believe we’ll see Greens in the Ontario legislature come the fall.” Hogg offered a few words of advice to the Tories on the eve of winning a majority. “I hope that this will give them a confidence to govern in a more open way,” he said. “I hope they will see their way to listening to other parties and taking the best that parties have to offer.”

A Mayor’s City Builder Award has come to Stittsville. Michaela Noffke of Stittsville, who is completing her university education at Carleton University this year and who volunteers both in her home community and beyond, received the award at the Ottawa city council meeting on Wednesday, April 27. The Mayor’s city Builder Award is a new civic honour created by mayor Jim Watson to recognize an individual, group or organization that has, through outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making the city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements. Michaela Noffke, a graduate of Sacred Heart High School, went on to take the Early Childhood Education Program at Algonquin College and now is completing her degree at Carleton University, majoring in sociology with a minor in art history. One of her volunteer activities has
arisen from this post-secondary education. She was inspired to become a note taker for other students because one of her friends has a learning disability and she also has classmates with physical disabilities that prevent them from making adequate notes in class. As a result, Michaela takes detailed notes and emails them to these students to help them success academically. She started being a volunteer note taker during her time at Algonquin College and has continued while at Carleton University, a total of five and a half years. Michaela’s volunteer efforts also saw her become involved in the Volunteers In Education program run by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation where she spent a semester in a reading program with grade one students at Stittsville Public School. This year Michaela was a key volunteer to get a Glee Club up and running at Goulbourn Middle School. She worked closely with the school to create a program suited to all skill levels. She volunteers every week at the school with a group of over 40 students, teaching them to sing, dance, cooperate and work as a team. No one is excluded who wants to be involved. Michaela was a dance teacher for five years before temporarily giving up the position to be able to concentrate on her university studies and her other volunteer work. At the age of 16, Michaela received the Linda Jamieson School of Dance Leadership Award recognizing her hard work, dedication to her peers and for setting an example for everyone at the dance studio. In her high school years, she was active in music, dance and art at her school. She volunteered to be in charge of costumes and clothing orders for the dance program. She had a logo designed for the school’s dance class which she donated to the school. When graduating, she received the Curry Award for Excellence in the Performing Arts. Michaela is planning to attend Teachers College for primary/junior and Masters in Education Studies with specialization in developmental needs. “Michaela’s kindness and generosity know no bounds,” wrote Nancy Hempinstall of Richmond in nominating Michaela Noffke for the award, noting that Michaela is a positive role model and superior mentor to all the children with
“She is building our city’s future by having such a positive influence on our children,” Ms. Hempinstall wrote about Michaela in her nomination form.

Holy Humour Sunday Delen wore a hat, as did members of the church choir and a number in the congregation. Even the church had a joyful appearance thanks to colourful helium-filled balloons flanking each side of the centre aisle. The Sunday School youngsters gave good advice and a point well made on Holy Humour Sunday when they sang “It Isn’t Any Trouble”, reminding the adults in the congregation that it isn’t any trouble to smile or to laugh. And there were plenty of smiles and laughs in this particular worship service as the knock, knock and other jokes were told, with Rev. Van Delen going down among the pews, microphone in hand, so that everyone could hear and enjoy the jokes being told such as “Knock, Knock/ Who’s there? Zeke/Zeke who? Zeke and you shall find” or Gary Thompson’s
groaner that he pulled from his experiences as a policeman, telling about the time he was investigating a murder, entered a room with corn flakes spread all over the place and immediately knew that he was on the trail of a cereal killer. Some of the “knock, knock” offerings had a religious flavour, most fitting for Holy Humour Sunday, like “Knock, Knock/Who’s there? Oliver?Oliver who?Oliver our joys come from the Lord.” In any case, you get the idea of how the service went and so it was no surprise when Ginger Chapleau read the first reading sporting a ball hat, worn backwards. “Joy to the World” is a song usually heard at Christmas time but it was front and centre at this Holy Humour Sunday, led by the church choir under the direction of music director David George. After all, that is the whole point of this Easter time revival of humour in the church – joy for all because of the resurrection of the Lord.
Rev. Van Delen, in her sermon entitled “Jesus is the life of the party,” began by telling a humourous Groucho Marx story about an encounter between a minister and the famous American comedian in which the minister thanked Groucho for bring so much joy into the world and Groucho, in response, thanked the minister for taking so much joy out of the world. And, indeed, Rev. Van Delen pointed out, people assume that Christianity and religion are supposed to be serious and humourless. But she pointed out that joy and celebration and yes, humour, abound in the bible. “God indeed does laugh, especially at Easter time,” she said, while urging people to stop taking themselves so seriously and stop placing so much emphasis on what is wrong. She pointed out that St. Paul told the Corinthians that they should become like fools for Christ. See KNOCK, KNOCK, page 7 465963
From page 1 This time featured parties and picnics to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This tradition of Holy Humour Sunday began a modern day revival starting in 1988 in the United States, being given the name Holy Humour Sunday as a way of continuing the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection on Eastern Sunday. And so at the 10:30 a.m. worship service at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond last Sunday, there was a “Joy Break” as well as a couple of “Holy Humour Interruptions” featuring jokes (knock, knock ones were prevalent) punctuated by the sound of bells and perhaps even yazoos and tambourines, rattled by members of the congregation following each happy joke telling moment. In keeping with the spirit of the Sunday, St. Paul’s minister Rev. Carla Van

ing Archangels down to earth to check out how many people were misbehaving (95 percent, apparently) and about a talking centipede who took a lot of time getting ready for church because of putting on shoes. And there were more jokes as the service progressed, coming from the choir and from the congregation. And even the collection was introduced with a “knock, knock” joke – Knock, knock/Who’s there?/Philip/Philip who?/Philip the plate as it is passed to you. And even the final prayers also had a “knock, knock” introduction Knock,knock/Who’s there?/Lettuce/Lettuce who?/Lettuce pray. “Thank you, O God, for your sense of humour,” Rev. Van Delen said, expressing gratitude to the Lord for giving humanity the gift of laughter. After Rev. Van Delen advised that the weekly bulletin included a variety of jokes and bloopers that merited reading, the service ended with a lively, hand clapping hymn, with a final blessing of “Go in laughter; go in grace. Keep the Lord in your heart and a smile on your face.” Holy Humour Sunday is part of a revival of humour in the church which has taken place in North America in the past two decades or so, reviving a tradition that goes back to the earliest days of the church. During the Middle Ages, church goers and pastors played practical jokes on each other during the post-Easter period,
resurrection should last more than just one day, Easter Sunday. The tradition of Holy Humour Sunday had its modern day revival starting in 1988 when the Fellowship of Merry Christians in the United States began encouraging churches and prayer groups to resurrect Bright Sunday celebrations, giving it the name “Holy Humour Sunday.” It has now been reintroduced in many churches all across North America.

EDITORIAL
Advice to our new (old) PM Stephen Harper’s appeal to the voters to deliver him a majority government did not fall on deaf ears. The Tory tide once again swept across Ottawa, with only David McGuinty and Mauril Belanger holding on to Liberal seats in Ottawa South and Ottawa-Vanier. In Ottawa Centre, Paul Dewar secured his seat for the NDP. The anticipated surge of NDP support did not hurt the Tories, except in a few ridings in Quebec, where most of the seats picked up by the party were taken from the Liberals. During the campaign, the prime minister warned Canadians that a minority Tory government couldn’t hold on to power and would fall prey to a coalition of the Liberals, NDP or poten-
tially the Bloc Quebecois. Harper’s predictions were alarming with warnings of hits to the financial markets, deficit spending and possibly reopening the Constitution for another divisive debate that nobody wanted. Canadians obviously listened, and Harper no longer faces the spectre of having to compromise or work to achieve consensus with the opposition. But is that necessarily a good thing? Yes, a majority government will give the Tories the tools to pass legislation that could have been delayed by a united opposition. And as Tory MP Gordon O’Connor pointed out, a majority win will allow the Conservatives to stand down from continuous preparation for yet another
election, and focus on the task of governing. But when they were a minority government, the Tories were forced to listen to the ideas of other parties and to compromise. The politics of consensus forces a leader to sift through the ideas of competing parties and incorporate the best parts within his or her own policies. We hope winning a majority won’t go to Harper’s head. The Tories often use the word “arrogance” to explain the federal Liberals fall in fortune, they might want to avoid a similar accusation over the next four years. Be a good prime minister, Harper. Listen to other ideas, use the best ones. Remember, in a democracy we elect a prime minister, we don’t anoint a king.
COLUMN
A winter game for all seasons Many factors go into making Canada the unique country it is, as recent political events have shown. On a non-political level, we have Tim Hortons and the Group of Seven and large group of comedians located in the United States. We have football with three downs. We have three coasts and at least two seasons. We have many languages and very few species of deadly snakes. We have movie theatres that don’t show Canadian movies. Oh, wait, other countries have those too. One of the other non-political things that has been commented upon lately is that fact that our hockey season, the season for a winter game played on ice, now lasts into June. In fact, one estimate puts the last possible Stanley Cup final game as late as June 18. This has consequences that go far beyond sport. Coupled with daylight saving time, it means that many Canadians will be indoors in the air-conditioning watching
CHARLES GORDON television while the sun is still shining and they could be outside playing games and getting fit. It also means that a goodly percentage of Canadians, those who avidly follow playoff games played on the west coasts of Canada and the U.S., show up for work tired and grouchy, or not show up at all. Productivity, a major concern of newspaper columnists, declines. Furthermore, children of permissive parents who avidly follow games played on the west coast will be difficult in class unless, mercifully, they fall asleep. This may explain why our children are constantly outperformed by children who come from countries where there is no hockey. These are some of the important social and economic conse-
quences of our obsession with hockey and the hockey owners’ obsession with dragging out the season as long as possible in order to make more money. As we see from the world news, in most other countries, spring is a time for getting the crops in, playing baseball and staging insurrections. Not here. Which just goes to show that there is more to the Canadian identity than an unelected Senate and the notwithstanding clause. If the hockey nuttiness ended here, you could put it down to a mild case of national eccentricity — people staying up too late, watching TV when they could be strolling in the spring evening air when it’s not raining. But, unfortunately, there is more to it. For at the same time as the rest of the world is having revolutions, spring planting and baseball games, those Canadians who venture outdoors, are playing hockey. But they’re not playing hockey with a ice and a puck. They’re playing hockey with pavement and a ball. Ball
hockey interest peaks in the spring because all those boys and girls and their parents want to try out the moves they see on television, except for the hitting from behind and elbows to the head. So out they go onto the street, between televised games, just as the professional hockey season is winding down and many hockey players, in fact, are out on the golf course. This typically Canadian scene causes cars to be inconvenienced and the more fussy neighbours to be upset, leading in turn to another uniquely Canadian phenomenon — the complaint to city hall and the police raid on street hockey nets.

In Canada, the police raids on outdoor hockey nets lead to letters to the editor, phone calls to talk radio shows and a lot of public hand-wringing generally. The rights of kids (and their parents) to have fun are weighed against the right of private property and a uniquely Canadian philosophical battle ensues. This will last until the real hockey season begins again and everybody goes back inside.

JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com
She’s Mighty Mouse to her coach and teammates. She’s also a provincial champion as a member of the Nepean Wildcats novice competitive girls’ hockey team. And Hillary Sterling of Richmond accomplished this as the youngest member of the team of seven and eight year olds in her first season of competitive hockey. “She is quite a fantastic little hockey player,” says her coach Jay Greco. And although she may be petite, she is skilled and tough. In a game against Scarborough, a big, rough team, in the recent provincial championships, Hillary was crushed against the boards, forcing her to leave the ice bent over. But did she miss any ensuing shift – no way. She was right back out there. “We call Hillary ‘Mighty Mouse’,” coach Greco says. But this Mighty Mouse label applies to more than just her grit. It also describes her talent. “She could stickhandle in a phone booth,” coach Greco says about Hillary in describing her moves and her soft hands. And, on top of all of this, she loves the game. “She’s always smiling,” coach Greco says. He knows all about Hillary’s passion for the game, saying that he has heard that she only takes her hockey equipment off at home when it is time to
go to school. Coach Greco sees great things for 7 year old Hillary next season which will be her second year as a novice (age 7/8) player.
“Wow, she is going to be impressive,” he predicts. Hillary started to skate when she was just two years old and joined the Richmond Royals hockey initiation program at the age of four. This year she switched to novice girls’ hockey, playing with the competitive Nepean Wildcats. A right winger who wears jersey number six for the Wildcats, Hillary was the only seven year old on the team that not only won the provincial championship but also the city championship and two tournaments. Over the course of the season, Hillary scored her share of goals but also notched a number of assists. “She’s a very good passer,” says her father Ian Sterling who helped out with the Wildcats team this past season. Hillary is happy that her season ended with a provincial championship but for her it was something of a bittersweet moment because all of her teammate friends

Hillary Sterling of Richmond shows off the collection of medals which she won this past season playing hockey for the Nepean Wildcats novice girls’ team.
There’s Ms. Incredible. There’s Tooth Fairy. There’s Fireball…Destroyer… Hurricane…Boom Boom…Baconator… Fence…Monster vs Aliens…Z-Train… Cyclone…Bugatti…Mac Attack…Tornado…Crush…G.I. Jane…and don’t forget Mighty Mouse. Together, along with coach Jay Greco, two assistant coaches, a goalie coach, a trainer and five practice coaches, this collection of 15 coached-assigned nick-
will be moving on to another team at another level next season while she will be staying in novice. She says that she loves hockey not only because it is fun but also because of the friendships that are created. A grade two student at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond, Hillary is passionate about hockey. When not with her team, she can be found out on the backyard rink at her Twin Elm home near Richmond or downstairs in the basement playing hockey. “She eats, breathes, sleeps hockey,” says her mother Tanya Sterling. Hillary’s favourite player is the Ottawa Senators’ Jason Spezza while her favourite team is, obviously, the Senators. She would love to play summer hockey this year but she won’t be. Instead, she will be keeping active playing soccer and no doubt dreaming of the upcoming hockey season. names made up the Nepean Wildcats novice B competitive girls’ hockey team this season. And what a season the Wildcats had! Gold medals in two tournaments. Silver medals in two other tournaments. A city championship. And a provincial championship. “It was an amazing, amazing year,” says the team’s coach Jay Greco. And amazing not only because of the team’s awesome winning record and spectacular statistics (37 wins, 5 losses and 4 ties, 17 shutouts and a .81 goals against average) but also and more importantly because it was a season in which every one of the 17 players played an important role.

Severe Headaches? Living with headaches is tough. Day after day of being miserable, irritable, and looking a lot older than you really are. The frustration of knowing that your friends and family don’t understand what you’re going through. Add this to doctors’ visits, MRI’s and CT scans -- which only come back with “normal” results. And that’s not all… trying one medication after another, feeling like you’re on a merry-go-round of drugs. All this is enough to make anyone want to scream! My name is Dr. Craig Hazel, and I’ve been helping patients with neck tension, headaches and migraines live pain free for years now. Every week I hear how people suffer from severe headaches – statements like… • “I feel like my head is in a vice.” • “My eyes hurt and I feel so drowsy.” • “I have to lay down.” • “I’ve had migraines since childhood.” • “Muscle tension in the neck and pain into the shoulders.”
I hear this so often, I decided to do something about it and run this ad. I’m running a special offer for those suffering with headaches. For only $67 you will get all the services I normally charge new patients $245 for!

Mayor Recognizes Stittsville Youth
On April 27th, preceding the Ottawa City Council meeting, Mayor Jim Watson along with myself presented the Mayor’s City Builder Award to Michaela Noffke of Stittsville. Michaela is a dedicated and accomplished dance instructor who was already winning awards for her leadership at age 16. She is currently nearing completion of her studies in Sociology and Art History at Carleton University where she volunteers as a note taker, providing detailed notes to classmates with disabilities. Michaela also gives her time to the Volunteers in Education program run by the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation and spent time reading to grade one students at Stittsville Public School. She also volunteers at the Glee Club at Goulbourn Middle School, teaching over forty children to sing, dance and work together as a team, supporting everyone regardless of their skill level. The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour created by Mayor Watson to recognize an individual, group or organization that has, through their outstanding volunteerism or exemplary action, demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making our city a better place today and for the future. This may include lifelong service, outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building or other exemplary achievements. Congratulations Michaela! City launches three initiatives urging you to rethink your commute and get active! Mayor Jim Watson and City staff launch three initiatives, iWalk iBike, Bike to Work and Every Day in May to encourage residents to leave their cars at home and be more physically active. iWalk iBike is an active transportation campaign that encourages residents to walk or bike, or combine walking and biking with transit, to get to work or run errands. It challenges residents to leave their cars at home and urges them to try viable active forms of transportation. Bike to Work is a month long celebration in May that encourages residents to cycle to and from work during the month of May. Participants can register at biketoworkottawa.com, pledge to cycle during the month and be eligible for prizes including a brand new bike. Every Day in May is an annual campaign run by Ottawa Public Health that encourages residents to be active for at least 30 minutes a day during the month of May, which is Physical Activity Month. So why not participate in one of these initiatives. Improve your health and the health of our environment. Recycling Bins and Wind....Not a good Combination As a result of the severe winds Ottawa received on April 28th, many residents may have lost their recycling bins. If you have lost any of your recycling bins you may call 311 and request a coupon that can be redeemed at any Canadian Tire store in the city for a new bin at no cost. I have requested coupons for my Ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex as well. Please call my office to make sure that we have received the coupons before coming in to pick one up. Many residents contacted my office on Thursday inquiring about the recycling not being picked up until 5:00 p.m., contractors are allowed to pick up garbage, recycling and green bins up until 6:00 p.m. The contractors were all delayed in their collection yesterday due to traffic problems throughout the City as a result of the wind storm. Despite the terrible conditions, all of the waste haulers were able to complete their collection routes before the 6:00 deadline. 2011 Spring Cleanup There are many groups around the Stittsville community that are participating in the Spring CleanUp the Capital program. I encourage you to show your pride and join your fellow neighbors by registering at ottawa.ca where you can receive your free kit to participate in this wonderful initiative.

Stittsville a litter free community. Last year a record 91,305 participants around Ottawa made Cleaning the Capital the most successful campaign to date! Let’s build on this success and make our 2011 campaign another record year! Strong Winds Create City Wide Power Outages The severe winds that blasted the community on April 28th resulted in a number of caused power outages across the Ottawa region. Hundreds of trees were either up rooted or branches snapped off hitting power lines and transformers. Crews have been working tirelessly to remove debris, restore power and assist with traffic where traffic lights have been affected. Your Safety is a Priority Please take precaution while outside during a severe wind. If you need to be outside, whether walking or driving, be aware of possible falling debris. Please stay away from downed power lines and electrical wires. Do not attempt to move these wires or any debris that may be touched by these wires. If you happen to notice downed power lines, trees or signage or encounter a traffic light that is out, please contact 3-1-1. I ask for your patience as 3-1-1 is experiencing higher than normal call volumes. Be Prepared....Are you ready for an emergency? While it’s always a good idea to be prepared for an emergency, the City of Ottawa is encouraging all residents to take some time during Emergency Preparedness Week, May 1 to 7, to ask your selves the question, “Am I ready?” The recent outdoor water use ban for Riverside South, Barrhaven and Manotick, issued to maintain safe drinking water, or the boil order experienced by residents in Munster Hamlet as a result of power outages during Thursday’s windstorm, show that we are not immune to potential emergency situations. A personal and home emergency preparedness plan and kit is just as valuable as any other form of insurance that you may hold for your family and dwelling. Home emergency planning is simple. Take a few moments to: make a plan, know the potential risks and put together an emergency kit for you and your family. Your kit should include at least four litres of water per adult, per day for drinking, cooking and washing, for at least a three-day period. Children, nursing mothers and people with special needs will need extra water. When individual residents and their families are ready for an emergency, the City as a whole can respond and recover more quickly. I would encourage you to review the City‘s Emergency Management Plan and “Are You Ready?” emergency preparedness program by going to the Emergency Management section of ottawa.ca. Leave it to Beaver Early one morning last week a little visitor captured the attention of the staff and residents at the Stittsville Villa. A beaver had made its way to the front of the Villa in what appeared to be the animals attempt to search for food or lodgings. Residents and staff were concerned that the beaver, whom I affectionately now refer to as Bucky, was going to cross Stittsville Main Street. Several attempts were made to coax the animal away from the road. Later in the day my wife and I were driving down Stittsville Main Street on our way to a local business function, unaware of Buckys’ presence at this time, when I noticed a family trying to capture the beaver’s attention. They were trying to redirect the animal from the road. At this point I pulled over to offer some assistance. Joined by a Volunteer Firefighter and Ottawa Police Officer, we managed to persuade the beaver into a large recycling bin with a lid that my wife was able to retrieve. Together we wheeled the beaver to a safer location along the Poole Creek.
which a sanctioned Scrabble tournament is held. This past weekend’s tournament in Stittsville was about an average size for such a sanctioned tournament with 60 players participating, each playing 13 games – eight on the Saturday and five on the Sunday. Scrabble tournaments, though, can range in size from eight players right up to 500 players. Players participating compete in one of three divisions based on their skill rating which is established by the North American Scrabble Players Association based on past performance at tournaments. Matthew Tunnicliffe, although he is rated as Canada’s tenth best player at age 23, did not play in this tournament because of his role as organizer. He had to be available to settle any challenges which were lodged by players in the various rounds. While some of these challenges might relate to words played, this is less the case now since there is a computer program that lists all possible Scrabble words. A challenge would be more likely to be related to an incident in which a player draws too many letter tiles from the bag and there is a dispute about which tiles should be returned to the bag. But Scrabble at this competitive level is more than just knowing words, although this is still essential. “Better players know a lot more words,” says Mr. Tunnicliffe in explaining competitive Scrabble, saying that top players learn the whole dictionary. He cited the case of Adam Logan of Ottawa who is currently Canada’s top ranked player and third best in North America, as well as being a former Canadian, North American and world champion. Adam, who played in this Stittsville tournament, is an example of a player who is totally familiar with all of the words in the dictionary. Besides a command of the dictionary, a Scrabble player can improve through experience and lots of practice. But there is even more to the game than this, Mr. Tunnicliffe explains. There is strategy involved as well, something which probably truly separates this competitive Scrabble from the game played around the kitchen table at home. “The Scrabble dictionary includes a lot of words that aren’t used in everyday conversation, and tournament play is much more strategic than recreational Scrabble,” Mr. Tunnicliffe says. One strategy, for instance, is to try to keep an opponent from playing the letter “Q” by keeping the letter’s spot away
from the opponent. A player holding the “Q” is penalized ten points if the “Q” is not played in the game. Another strategy involves what is called “managing your rack.” The rack holds seven tiles from which the player makes his or her plays. A player can try to play a word that enables him or her to keep a lot of letters on his rack, so that a higher scoring word can be played the next time. Mr. Tunnicliffe says that Scrabble played at this high competitive level can be viewed as a combination between chess with its renowned strategies and poker with its penchant for luck. And, of course, in Scrabble as in poker, a player can try to bluff by making up words and trying not to be challenged on them. “It’s a very versatile game – so many skills to use,” Mr. Tunnicliffe says about Scrabble. In competitive play, players play one against another. Clocks are used to time the matches, which run for one hour, with each player having 25 minutes to use on the clock. A computer program is now used to tabulate the results and determine which player plays which player in the following round, based on results. And whereas a hockey game or basketball game may involve noise and cheering, the site of a competitive Scrabble tournament like last weekend’s at the Stittsville Legion Hall features quiet – there is virtually no talking and no distractions are allowed. The players fully concentrate on the game at hand, many playing on custom made boards. Among the players at this tournament in Stittsville last weekend were not only Canada’s top ranked player Adam Logan who started playing competitive Scrabble in 1985 and admits to always learning new words or, perhaps, he says, remembering old ones again; Susan Blanchard of Charlotte, North Carolina, who has been playing competitively for about six years and was one of those who travelled farthest for the Stittsville tournament; and retired Lilla Sinanan of Stoney Creek, Ontario, who, with her husband travels all over North America to play Scrabble, usually hitting one tournament a month. Ms. Sinanan says she plays because she loves words, appreciates the strategy and challenge involved, and also enjoys the camaraderie that takes place with fellow players. See SCRABBLE, page 11

From page 9 And that’s because of coach Greco’s philosophy – everyone on the team played regular shifts. No short bench for the Wildcats. No statistic is probably more telling of how the team meshed and played together than the fact that the players not only scored a team total of 182 goals but chalked up a total of 226 assists – an amazing number for a novice team. You win and lose as a team, coach Greco believes. All of the players on the team were eight year olds except for Hillary Sterling of Richmond who was the team’s youngest player at only seven. “We came very fast out of the starting gate,� coach Greco says about the season. The team won the Oshawa tournament early in the season and was, coach Greco admits, pretty dominant for the first one and a half months of the season. The Wildcats also won the Kanata tournament before Christmas and then made it to the finals of the Belleville tournament at Christmas time, losing in overtime – the team’s first losing experience. Next up was the Silver Stick tournament where the Wildcats again made it to the finals before losing 2-1 to Kitchener and a hot goalie. “Another good teaching moment for the kids to see that,� coach Greco says. An undefeated run in the league playoffs saw the Wildcats beat Kanata 3-1 in the final, win-
ning the city championship. It was then off to the provincials and what an experience – not just winning but thanks to coach Greco, having an experience that all the players will remember forever. It all started in the parking lot at the Walter Baker Centre in Nepean where they were assembling for an expected convoy of cars heading to Brampton, site of the provincial championships. You can imagine the players’ surprise and absolute pandemonium when a giant team bus pulled into the lot. Yes, they would be bussing to the tournament together as a team. An opening 5-1 victory over Cambridge, with the Wildcats dominating, was positive. The players passed and moved the puck, playing as a team, with everyone contributing. “Truly this team was a real true team,� coach Greco says. “We call it our family.� Following the game, it was no regular team lunch outing but – are you ready for this – a tailgate party with BBQ’s and some football action. Calling it “an experience second to none� for the players, coach Greco is sure that his player will never forger this surprise party. After watching and cheering on the Nepean competitive peewee C team in its game at the provincial championships, the Wildcats were back on the ice, beating Toronto Leaside 4-1. See Wildcats, page 37

up to his growing reputation in the sport, especially growing over the past year? Though Adam has been active in canoeing and lake kayaking in his years in Scouting, his competitive white water kayaking career has just taken off in the past year with two second place finishes in major competitions and in being named to the Canadian Men’s National Team while still technically a junior. So, how would he fare in this main event of the Capital Cup, the men’s pro class in which 26 determined paddlers were set to take to the waves and flip, spin and fling themselves and their tiny kayaks in seemingly impossible ways to garner points under the gaze of the scoring judges. Some of the best men’s white water paddlers in North America were in the field including several members of the Canadian and United States national teams, all honing their skills for the upcoming world competition in Germany in June. Adam was up to the chal-
lenge. After the first three one-minute qualifying runs, Adam was second among the top five paddlers. Some were seasoned veterans with many more years of experience than Adam. What would happen in the final two runs? The paddlers all tried to score as many points as possible by performing moves more akin to acrobats and freestyle skiers. But, as the crowd noticed with its gasps and acknowledged with its applause, Adam threw himself into clean move after clean move among the waves. This earned him enough points to beat out the other top four contenders and to take first place in Ottawa’s 2011 Capital Cup. It was perfect weather for this year’s Capital Cup, with blue skies and warm spring temperatures. Besides the Men’s Pro Class won by Adam Chappell, there was an Open Class for amateur paddlers, a Junior Boys’/ Girls’ Class and a Women’s Pro Class.

More information on the CLCLC can be found on our website at www.clclc.ca. The CLCLC is currently recruiting new members to serve as community representatives. If you are interested in participating in the CLCLC, please submit a brief resume that includes a short summary of your interest in being on the committee by May 31st.

Over 34 feet of hair in total donated for cancer wigs. Over $4,000 raised for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. To say that the Hair Donation/Cancer Fundraiser event on Wednesday, April 27 spearheaded by cancer survivor Helene Hutchings and hosted by the Mahogany Salon and Spa in Stittsville was a stunning success might even be an understatement. It was an awesome, amazing show of support that cancer can and will be beaten. Between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 27 at the Mahogany Salon and Spa, 41 people donated their hair for Angel Hair for Kids, an Ontario based organization that provides wigs for youthful cancer patients. There were even two males among these hair donors. Eighteen of these hair donors were under 16 years of age, while several of them were making their third or fourth hair donation – what committed young people! One of those who donated hair – in fact, 20 inches of it – was Allanah Alibhai, a grade nine student at South Carleton High School in Richmond. She had been growing her hair for six years and always wanted
to donate it to help in the fight against cancer. This event gave her the opportunity to do so. She also raised $487 in funds for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. Anya Hutchings, another South Carleton grade nine students, was another of the youthful donors. Anya not only raised $750 in funds for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation but also donated about 9 ½ inches of her hair as well. So it was more than just hair donations involved in this fundraiser. There were donations made to the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. In addition, Mahogany Salon and Spa not only provided a free wash, cut and style for all those who donated their hair but also donated 50 percent of all proceeds from wash, cut and styles done during the four hours of the fundraiser, provided the person had pre-registered. All of this fundraising ended up raising over $4,000 for the Ottawa Hospital Foundation with donation money still coming in. All participants received an Hawaiian Lei necklace with a thank you tag attached and a hair clip while hair donors under 16 years of age got a thank you bug.

“The basic flair of the store will be staying the same,” Ms. Edwards says, although she admits that there will be a few changes made. For instance, the name may be changing slightly and a new logo will be introduced. She plans to introduce some seating in the store where fathers can sit as their spouses browse through the consignment offerings.

Boutique last June, says that she and Christine chose to sell the business to Sandra Edwards over a number of other potential purchasers because of Ms. Edwards’ like-minded philosophy about being involved in the community. The community and special events sponsored by Dandelions Consignment Boutique will continue under the new ownership. “It’s like they’re passing on a torch,” says Ms. Edwards in describing how she will be carrying on the business in the spirit initiated by Jennifer and Christine. She pledges to continue hosting special events as in the past, with perhaps some new

From page 16 “So they are great partners to have,” Ms. Edwards says in noting that their professional skills will come in handy in running the business. Her husband Steven, as well, will be an asset as he has been an events coordinator in the high tech industry. Although she and her husband currently live in Galetta, they are planning to move to Stittsville in the near future after they get through a family wedding planned for this summer.

ideas thrown in as well. She feels that she is well suited to operating such a business geared to children due to her involvement with children over the years. She does admit, though, she will be on a learning curve with regard to exactly how to operate a consignment store. However, she will be honouring all previous consignment commitments and sees nothing changing in the consignment process for the store or in the high quality of the clothes taken on consignment.

The Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners will be not only the location of the upcoming May meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society but also will be the featured item of discussion. May is Museum Month and so it is only fitting that the Historical Society is making the local Goulbourn Museum the focus of its May meeting on Saturday, May 21 at 1:30 p.m. At the meeting, staff from the Goulbourn Museum will explain why there are muse-
ums, how they started and what they do. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road which is an extension of Stittsville Main Street. The Museum can be found immediately south of the Flewellyn Road/ Stittsville Main Street/Huntley Road intersection at Stanley’s Corners. Admission to this May meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society will be free, like all such regular meetings of the Historical Society. There is plenty of parking at the site and refreshments will be served. Everyone is most welcome to attend this event.

Summer Fun & Camp Guide
Summer 2011 Hundreds of reasons why every child should go to camp By Matt Barr of Camps Canada
Why go to camp? Here’s a partial list of the many reasons:
• see positive adult role models in a fun environment
Every child should go to camp to:
• experience a community where everyone is welcome regardless of race, colour or religion
• make new friends (the number one outcome cited by children who attend camp) • learn new physical skills (arts and crafts, sports, swimming, waterskiing, archery) • learn new social skills (communication, leadership, teamwork) • gain an appreciation of people’s different abilities (we are all gifted in some way or another) • experience the feelings of love, safety, and security • enjoy being a kid and clowning around • experience the freedom to make choices, decisions, and mistakes • do chores without being paid (kids help to clean up after lunch and to keep the camp area clean) • have one outstanding teacher (we have lots of the non-academic kind here)
• learn how to swim (many camps provide daily swimming opportunities) • receive praise for who she is and what she has accomplished (counselors do this all the time) • turn off the television for a week (there are no TV’s at most camps) • to gain leadership skills (within a group of their peers) • experience many things for the first time • build confidence in all the things they can do • feel comfortable being themselves (all personalities are encouraged and celebrated at camp) • learn to adjust to new environments, various social situations • gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction, self esteem, and leadership continued on page 21

the ULTIMATE Summer Fun & Camp Guide • Summer 2011 Hundreds of reasons… By Matt Barr of Camps Canada • develop personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle • discover and explore their interests, values and talents • participate on teams • take responsibility for others and help out • increase their problem-solving skills • meet a new circle of peers (outside of their school friends) • create life-long friendships • learn to adjust to new environments • gain a greater sense of personal satisfaction and personal habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle • trust their own instincts and gain a sense of independence • have fun A camp experience is without equal. Even those campers who during the school year have behavioural problems, difficulty concentrating or who cannot relate well to their peers are highly successful. How is all of this accomplished in a recreational/educational setting that is overseen by a few camping
professionals, but is administered for the most part by high school and university students. The answer is complex; however, the key to the success of camp is that all its efforts are focused on the individual and not on the program. The program is the tool. The medium is the out of doors; the strategy is to earn the trust of the child in order to make the experience positive, non-threatening, creative and enjoyable. The camping community has long realized that when a child is placed in a trusting, nurturing environment devoid of the pressure to pass or fail and without competition, the motivation to learn is greatly increased. Each summer it is evident by the smiles on their faces, and the laughter we hear that campers are extremely happy in the camp environment. They learn to be self reliant, cooperative, understanding and sensitive. As part of a relatively small group they make friendships and establish bonds that will last a lifetime. The trust that is established allows them to take risks, experiment, challenge themselves and learn from these trials. Day to day they face a multitude of real life situations for which they find their own solutions or work closely with others to resolve them.

They are better able to make choices for themselves that meet their needs and the needs of others. They become part of a community as they get caught up in the enthusiastic displays of spirit and singing that make camp distinct. Moreover, without realizing it they develop skills that relate directly to academic subjects such as geography, mathematics, kinesiology, meteorology, biology, natural sciences
and languages. Their ability to communicate with their peers and their leaders is enhanced. They learn to accept and appreciate individual differences and are willing to reach out to assist others or allow themselves to be helped. Through challenging and creative activities they develop skills that will be useful as they cope with everyday life. continued on page 23

(NC)—Don’t let summer fun interfere with your child’s learning. Research has shown that kids can lose much of what they learned during the school year during the summer months, a phenomenon known as “summer brain drain.” Parents don’t need to fret however; there are plenty of opportunities for children to keep their brains sharp and focused during the summer break. Here are some tips to help keep your children learning and their brain’s sharp during summer vacation.
Keep them problem–solving Math and problem–solving skills are the subjects experts say are more likely to be affected by brain drain. This doesn’t have to be the case however, as there are plenty of activities to make math and problem–solving fun. One game that has the attention of educators and parents alike is Perplexus by Plasmart Inc. Perplexus is a 3D maze game where players manoeuvre a small marble around challenging barriers inside a large–sized transparent sphere. Unlike traditional flat–surface mazes that are composed of one path, Perplexus challenges player’s problem solving abilities with numerous paths to choose from and hundreds of barriers to overcome. In addition to be-
ing an entertaining game, Perplexus is a great tool for cognitive development, encouraging children to exercise their problem–solving, motor and dexterity skills, as well as improving their hand–eye coordination. Perplexus is just as challenging for adults as it is for children and is for people aged 4–104, and so will help keep parents problem solving skills sharp as well.
Keep them active It is widely accepted that there is a link between a healthy body and a healthy brain. Keeping your children’s bodies fit will help keep their brains fit and reduce summer brain drain. Physical activity can be either indoor or outdoor fun. One popular indoor and outdoor riding toy is the PlasmaCar by Plasmart Inc. The PlasmaCar is a mechanical marvel that can be driven on any flat surface and is powered solely by kid–power. The PlasmaCar is a fun way for kids to ride around the neighbourhood and keep their bodies fit as it requires no batteries or fuel, just the occasional cookie or two. www.newscanada.com

Hundreds of reasons continued from page 21 From each experience they become more self confident and develop an increased self esteem which allows them to continue to reach out and look for more. All this in a fun-filled, stress free environment. Camp is a place where strengths are reinforced, where people recognize and accept that all of us have varying abilities and talents. In so doing, each participant can applaud the efforts of peers. Feeling that support, the young person is willing to attempt more complex and challenging activities without the fear of failure. In this environment the “poor student” has an opportunity for recognition and leadership that may otherwise be denied. Camp is for every child regardless of talent and ability. The American Camping Association (ACA) studies report that people who participate in camping and recreation experiences are healthier and have fewer problems as a result of their experiences. Similar findings would be expected for Canada. The largest research study of camper outcomes ever conducted in the United States asked over 5,000 families about positive identity and social skills acquired at camp:
CAMPERS SAY • Camp helped me make new friends. (96%) • Camp helped me get to know other campers who were different from me. (94%)
• Camp helped me feel good about myself. (92%) • At camp, I did things I was afraid to do at first. (74%)
PARENTS SAY • My child gained self-confidence at camp. (70%) • My child remains in contact with friends made at camp. (69%) • My child continues to participate in activities learned at camp. (63%) Camps are uniquely positioned to provide all of these developmental needs for children. Consider camp as the perfect partner to family, school, and community youth activities in helping your child learn independence, decision-making, social and emotional skills, character building and values - all in an atmosphere of creativity and enrichment under the supervision of positive adult role models. In today’s pressure-oriented society, camp provides a non-threatening environment for Canada’s youth to be active, to develop competence in life skills, to learn about and enhance their own abilities and to benefit from meaningful participation in a community designed just for them.
ADVICE FROM THE EXPERTS The camp experience is recognized by child development professionals as valuable in helping children mature socially, emotionally, intellectually, morally, and physically. “The building blocks of self-esteem are belonging, learning, and contributing,” says Michael Pop-

cal social worker specializing in child and adolescent treatment. “What makes camp a special community is its focus on celebrating effort,” says Michael Brandwein, speaker and consultant to the camp profession. “In this less pressured atmosphere, children learn more readily what positive things to say and do when they make mistakes and face challenges.” He says the traditions and customs of each different camp are like a secret code that allows those who know it to feel embraced by something unique and special. “Campers are urged to include, not exclude, others. They are praised for choosing new partners and not always the same ones. “They are encouraged to respect the differences between people. In an increasingly sarcastic, putdown oriented world, camps aim to be an oasis of personal safety where demeaning comments and disrespectful behavior are not tolerated, and children are taught responsible and positive ways to resolve conflicts.” • excerpts extracted from the American Camp Association website at: http://www.acacamps.org

kin, family therapist and founder of Active Parenting. “The biggest plus of camp is that camps help young people discover and explore their talents, interests, and values. Most schools don’t satisfy all these needs. Kids who have had these kinds of (camp) experiences end up being healthier and have less problems which concern us all.” “At camp, children learn to problem-solve, make social adjustments to new and different people, learn responsibility, and gain new skills to increase their self-esteem,” says author/education Peter Scales of The Search Institute. Noted experts in child development have expressed their thoughts on summer camp as a valuable resource for giving children the value of belonging to a community of their own. This critically important sense of community for children is rooted in enabling and empowering children to be belonging, cooperating, contributing, and caring citizens. “Each summer at camp a unique setting is created, a community is constructed that allows participants to get in touch with a sense of life that is larger than one’s self,” says Bruce Muchnick, licensed psychologist who works extensively with day and resident camps. “The camp community seeks to satisfy children’s basic need for connectedness, affiliation, belonging, acceptance, safety, and feelings of acceptance and appreciation.” “It is in the crucible of this community that children gain self-esteem with humility, overcome their inflated sense of self, and develop a lifelong sense of grace and wonder,” says Bob Differ, licensed clini-

dip in the pool or fill up a child-sized pool and later use the water to give a drink to potted plants.
Go safe with swing sets: Safety is often the name of the game when erecting a swing set in the yard. It’s a good idea to surround the ground surface with a material that will cushion falls. There are mulches and rubber pellets for this purpose, but these may be treated with chemicals and not be good for the environment. See if a local lumberyard or building supply store can drop sand in the area. It’s all-natural and can be a good shock absorber.
Recycle toys: While on the subject of swing sets and play materials, check out consignment shops or tag sales for gently used play items rather than brand new toys. Or initiate a toy swap in the neighborhood where once a year neighbors swap toys with one another so the kids have something “new” to play with.
Jump on a bike: Bicycles remain one of the greenest modes of transportation. Children clamoring for a new bike this season may be pleasantly surprised at how well a used bike or a hand-me-down may ride and look. Sometimes all it takes is a little elbow grease to tune up a tired bike.

Instead of plastic toys and electronics, kids with creative imaginations can turn items outdoors into nice play props. Twigs can serve as dueling swords while rocks and leaves can be piled to make an impromptu fort or home base. Kids may enjoy themselves exploring parks and caves right in their own neighborhoods. Just be sure to stress the “carry in, carry out policy” whenever enjoying nature. That means not to leave trash behind and to disturb natural wildlife the least amount as possible.

Concert of contrasts except...
JOHN CURRY john.curry@metroland.com

It was a concert of contrasts – except where it really counted and that was in the music. At the “Sing Me A Story” spring concert presented by the Goulbourn Male Chorus with the St. Paul’s United Church choir as the guest choir at St. Paul’s in Richmond last Sunday afternoon, the 13 voice Male Chorus performed in what is becoming the group’s normal attire, white shirts and ties. The St. Paul’s United Church choir, a ten voice all-female contingent led by music director David George, appeared in sharp contrast to the Male Chorus, wearing black. But while there were these differences in choir makeup (males versus females) and in costume (white versus black), there was one constant and that was in the quality of the musical offerings. While the Male Chorus filled the church with its deep collective sound, sending the music resounding throughout the church, the St. Paul’s United Church choir delivered much higher pitched offerings but equally as penetrating throughout the church. Indeed, we are sure that the church air has car-

ried these choir voices throughout the premises on many, many occasions throughout the years. These church surroundings themselves added an appeal to the concert that could not be found in a secular setting. The Male Chorus, as it sang under the direction of Robert Dueck, stood in front of the church’s giant stained glass window on the rear wall of its sanctuary. With the afternoon sun illuminating the window, the Male Chorus in their white shirts could almost be visualized as a contingent of God’s angels, lifting up their voices to the heavens. But the angelic nature of the songs ended for the most part with such fantasies because the Male Chorus delivered a variety of tunes including three sea shanties, (“You have to love sea shanties,” said Male Chorus director Robert Dueck. “They have so much energy to them.”), several folk tunes including the tragic but beautiful tune “The Lorelei” and the humourous “I Wished to be Single Again,” and a couple of spirituals, perhaps an ideal musical ingredient for this concert given its church setting.

Concert
From page 26 Indeed, the audience seemed to approve, with a robust applause following these spirituals, “Hand Me Down My Silver Trumpet” and “The Chariot Spiritual.” Of course, the United Church Choir delivered a handful of ecclesiastical tunes including the ever-popular “Amazing Grace,” “All Because of God’s Amazing Grace,” and “I Will Serve the Lord All My Days.” The concert also featured two singalong opportunities for the audience: the Irish ditty “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling” and “Aura Lee,” that Civil War vintage song that was the basis of Elvis Presley’s massive hit “Love Me Tender” in 1956. The concert wrapped up with both choirs joining together to sing “Prayer of St. Francis” and “Song of Peace,” bringing the one and three-quarter hour con-
cert (with 20 minute intermission) to a close but not before the audience rose to deliver a standing ovation for the choirs. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt as well as city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri were both in attendance at the concert. Rev. Carla Van Delen, minister of St. Paul’s United Church, thanked the Goulbourn Male Chorus for sharing its music with those at the concert, remarking on the passion that comes with the group’s singing and the energy and enthusiasm which director Robert Dueck brings to his role. This was the first appearance in Richmond by the Goulbourn Male Chorus which was formed last September. It had a Christmas concert as well as a spring concert in Stittsville. Any men interested in singing with the Goulbourn Male Chorus for the upcoming fall session should contact Mr. Dueck at 613-836-1824 or via email at dueckrobt@ gmail.com.

From page 17 All of this was made possible thanks to the generosity and involvement of seven Mahogany stylists who donated their time and expertise for the event. Mahogany Salon and Spa owner Catherine Wood and her management team of Krystin Wood, Tifany Quesnelle and Andrea Cochran all provide their time and expertise to make sure that the event ran smoothly. The plan is now to make this an annual event. It all began when Helene Hutchings, a
cancer survivor, wanted to repay, at least in a small way, what the hospital system had done in giving her back her life. She admits that there is no way that she or anyone can fully repay what a hospital does to take a person like her on a journey of recovery but she wanted to do something. So, she came up with the idea of a hair donation/cancer fundraiser and thanks to the generosity and involvement of the Mahogany Salon and Spa at the Shops of Main Street Plaza, the event evolved and turned into the resounding success that it was.

“Long in the Tooth”, was originally used to describe horses. As a horse ages, their gums recede, giving the impression that their teeth are growing in length. The longer the teeth look, the older the horse. So if you are long in the tooth make sure to call us today since we can slow, stop and even sometimes reverse gum recessions and oral aging.

Q
Why is it when it is raining or damp out my car runs rough, stalls or has lack of power?
A
This is a simple sign of maintenance, meaning the vehicle is probably due for a tune-up. When ignition wires or coil packs begin to break down the moisture in the air creates an alternate path for the spark to travel. In turn the path of the spark gets interrupted or changed causing a misfire in the cylinder. A simple tune-up will solve this problem.

team cheer and pet talk in the dressing room saw the Wildcats dominate play. Despite facing a hot goalie, it was a 5-2 victory and gold medals all around for the Wildcats. “It was just an awesome experience overall,” coach Greco says, adding that in all his years in coaching, this past season with the Wildcats was probably the most rewarding with everyone – players, parents, coaches – coming together, making for a memorable season for one and all.

Wind affects hydro, water in Munster SPECIAL TO THE NEWS Water was in the news last week with a city-imposed ban on outside watering in Barrhaven, Riverside South and Manotick. Little did the city know when announcing the ban that there would be a weather-related water problem in Munster but that is what happened. The massive wind storm that swept through the area on Thursday, April 28 resulted in power outages including the loss of power in Munster at 11 a.m. that day. No problem, there is a backup generator at the water pumping station to operate in such situations. But this time it did not function. Although this backup generator had been inspected on April 18 with no reported problems, city of Ottawa crews quickly discovered that the backup generator at the Munster water pumping station was not working. It had apparently been struck by lightning at some point prior to the wind storm. This meant trouble. With the water pressure off for at least two hours because of this generator failure, it was no longer possible for the city to provide a guarantee on the quality of Munster’s drinking water. It was decided by city officials to issue a boil water advisory for the community and to take associated steps. By 5 p.m., 16 public health teams were organized and ready to go door to door in Munster with information about the boil water advisory. Soon 6000 litres of
bottled water arrived in the community and began their household visitations. Residents started to drop by the Munster Community Centre to collect bottled water. With the community still without electricity, the Ottawa Police Mobile Command Centre was deployed in the community by 6 p.m. Crews working at the pumping station had the backup generator re-started by 7 p.m. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt was live on radio station CFRA just before this, updating the situation. Digital signage was placed in the community and bottled drinking water continued to be distributed. Ottawa Police patrolled the village throughout the evening. By 10:15 p.m., power was restored in the community while over 2500 litres of bottled water had been distributed. After 48 hours and with over 5000 litres of bottled water distributed, the boil water advisory was lifted at 11:30 a.m. last Saturday. The digital signage was updated and automated phone calls were placed to residents, informing them of the lifting of the advisory. Councillor Moffatt praises the residents of Munster for their patience, cooperation and understanding during this 48 hour crisis. Mac’s and Danby’s both pitched in, with Mac’s providing bottled water until it was gone and Danby’s staying open as a refuge for residents.
