Eight year old Makenna Martin of Stittsville has “dancing eyes.” And although Makenna has been in dance since she was three years old, having eyes that “dance” as well is not beneficial. Indeed, it is the outward sign of a condition known as congenital nystagmus. Makenna’s eyes are constantly “wobbling,” meaning that Makenna cannot see clearly as though she is always looking at an out-of-focus picture. Makenna can compensate somewhat for her “dancing eyes” by using her so-called null point where she can turn her head to the left while her eyes look to the right. One action in effect cancels out the other so that the “wobble” of her eyes is decreased and she can focus a little easier. Makenna started to use her null point when she was quite young but it is only a way to cope with her condition and is not a solution. At times, based on her position in a room or the activity
that she is participating in, using her null point is not possible. In addition, Makenna’s eyes “wobble” more when she is tired, anxious or not feeling well. Makenna’s mother, Jen Martin, first noticed Makenna’s wobbling eyes when she was just months old. A diagnosis confirmed that Makenna had congenital nystagmus, an eye condition that cannot be cured, and she has been regularly followed by a pediatric ophthalmologist since then. In Nov. 2011, when she was four years old, Makenna had a Kestenbauym Procedure performed at CHEO. This helped but only for a while. As time has passed, she has essentially reverted back to her previous condition, using her null point 80 to 90 percent of the time. This constant use of her null point leads to her neck muscles being strained and to headaches. Currently in grade three, Makenna also faces challenges within the classroom because of her congenital nystagmus. See MAKENNA MARTIN, page 4

A basket of bread. A cup for wine. A flowering plant. A bag of coins. A spear. The image of a rooster. A crown of thorns. A sponge. Dice. A cross. A piece of torn cloth. All of these were symbols used in telling Christ’s Good Friday story at the annual Good Friday Procession of the Cross in Stittsville last Friday which was Good Friday. Because of weather conditions which made for potentially treacherous walking conditions due to overnight freezing rain which had given a icy glare to the snowy landscape, a decision was made to hold the whole Good Friday Procession at Stittsville United Church. The plan was for the Good Friday Procession of the Cross to begin at Stittsville United Church and then for a wooden cross to be carried in a procession along Stittsville Main Street, stopping along the way at

St. Thomas Anglican Church, the Community Bible Church and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Because of the impact of the weather, each participating church held its part of the Good Friday Procession at Stittsville United Church. After each church’s participation, the wooden cross was carried around the interior of Stittsville United Church. Each church relayed a particular section of the story of Christ’s Good Friday Walk. For Stittsville United Church, it was “Jesus Shares The Last Supper” and “Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane.” See SYMBOLS USED, page 4

Makenna Martin enjoys active lifestyle despite nystagmus Continued from page 1
In addition to her nystagmus, she also is near sighted and has astigmatism, additional challenges. Her mother notes that Makenna’s teachers have been great, providing accommodations to help her be successful in the classroom. Makenna also maintains an active lifestyle, enjoying dancing, singing, playing soccer and being active with her friends. Makenna’s mom Jen has actively tried to educate herself about nystagmus and has discovered that Canada lacks research, education and information about nystagmus. She has been an active member of the United Kingdom and American Nystagmus Net-
works, often purchasing materials through these organizations and consulting with their members around the world. It was through this involvement that she became aware of Dr. Richard Hertle at the Akron Children’s Hospital in Ohio who is one of the only physicians in the world who performs a surgical procedure called horizontal tenotony. Such a surgery would increase Makenna’s visual acuity through decreasing the movement of her eyes and reducing the degree of her null point. By slowing down her eye movements, she would be able to look straight ahead. Other children who have undergone such surgery have experienced positive life chang-
ing results. And now Makenna is going to be assessed by Dr. Hertle and will likely be undergoing the surgery. Having the surgery before Makenna is ten years old is considered optimal and with Makenna turning nine years old in April, this is the time when it should be done. Makenna and her mother will be travelling to Akron, Ohio in April with a consultation with Dr. Hertle and a subsequent surgery booked. Makenna is nervous but excited about what awaits her in Ohio. While Makenna now will have a life changing surgery, it is not going to be covered by OHIP. It would be if Makenna’s local pediatric ophthalmolosit specialist agreed to the out-of-country surgery which is not available in Canada. But no such agreement has been forthcoming and despite Jen Martin’s efforts including requests to the Ontario Ministry of Health, there will be no OHIP funding forthcoming for Makenna’s surgery in Ohio.
As a result, the Martin family will be paying the consultation and surgery costs which will amount from $20,000 to $25,000. Numerous other families in Canada have also failed to get provincial health care coverage for such surgery. The Stittsville District Lions Club has stepped forward and has donated $1,000 to help with these expenses that the Martin family is facing. In addition, A Go Fund Me campaign called “Makenna’s Nystagmus Journey” was launched and has raised funds also to help with the expenses for her treatment in Ohio. And although Makenna and her family are facing a financial challenge, this has not stopped Makenna from thinking about others. She is currently collecting pop can tabs which she will be turning over to the Ronald McDonald House at the Akron Children’s Hospital which Ronald McDonald House can then turn in for money.
Symbols used in Procession of the Cross Continued from page 3
R0013661694-0128
The symbols for these which were placed on a table in the sanctuary were a basket of bread, a cup for wine and a flowering plant. St. Thomas Anglican Church presented a section involving “Jesus is Betrayed” and “Jesus is Arrested.” The symbols for these which were placed on the table were a bag of coins and a spear. The Community Bible Church presented a section involving “Jesus is Denied” and “Jesus is Mocked.” The symbols for these which were placed on the table with the other symbols were the image of a rooster
and a crown of thorns. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church presented the final section “Jesus is Crucified.” Symbols for this section which were placed on the table were a sponge, dice, a cross and a piece of torn cloth. Each section of this Good Friday Procession of the Cross involved a Scripture reading and the singing of a chorus. The service also included hymns including “Beneath the Cross of Jesus” and “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.” There were also responsive readings in a couple of the sections.
Freezing rain, ice pellets cannot stop euchre players Special to the News

With the arrival of spring, golfers will soon be teeing off at their favourite courses. And whether you are a golfer or not, you can “tee off ” soon as well, not on a golf course but at the upcoming “T” live auction being held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville. At this auction, you will be “Teeing” up not with a golf ball and golf tee but with bids on the “Time, Talent & Treasures” items that will be up for grabs. This “Time, Talent & Treasures” live auction is being held on Saturday, April 16 at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street in Stittsville, with viewing at 6:30 p.m. and the auction getting underway at 7 p.m. Colin McKeown, producer of the TV show “The New Fly Fisher,” will once again be the auctioneer, just as he was at the church’s last “Time, Talent & Treasures” auction two years ago. Up for grabs in this live auction will be numerous items generated not only from the talents of those within the congregation but also from the generosity of businesses in the community. This could range from a season of snow removal to furniture refinishing to a relaxing week at a cottage to massages to much more. A complete list of items donated to date can be found on the church’s website at www.standrewsstittsville.ca. Tickets for this “Time, Talent & Treasures” live auction are available now at a cost of $5 per adult or $3 per child (under 12 years of age). The ticket will also include a beverage and dessert. Tickets are available at the church office at 613-831-1256 from Tuesday to Friday between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. or by calling Geppy Walton at 613836-5019. Seating is limited so you should get your ticket as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Funds raised by this “Time, Talent & Treasures” live auction fundraising event will go towards the initiative of continuing to make St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church accessible for everyone. This promises to be an evening of fun, fellowship, bargains and great desserts with everyone in the community welcome to attend.

Fed budget good news for Ottawa LRT
T
he new federal budget may be awash in red ink, but the federal Liberals did exactly what they promised they would, pouring money in the coming years into infrastructure and transit systems that have been on the wish list for municipalities for years, including here in Ottawa. As Liberal OrlÊans MP Andrew Leslie says, the budget is good for light rail transit development in Ottawa. The budget allocates $3.4 billion to public transit infrastructure over the next three years through a new Public Transit Infrastructure Fund, and listed accelerated design for new light rail transit lines in greater Vancouver and Ottawa as examples of projects that might see money from the new fund. This is music to the ears of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson and those sitting around the council table in Ottawa who hope to not only go forward with their grandiose plans for LRT in the nation’s capital, but hope to make some of the future phases of the massive multi-billion dollar project move forward at a faster pace.
In fact, Leslie thinks fast tracking extensions of LRT to Trim Road and the airport, and beyond may be something that is now possible. “Mayor Jim Watson is doing a great job at articulating that these phase two pluses should be looked at as the same sort of package,â€? Leslie told Metroland Media after the budget was presented in the House of Commons last week. “So we have to get it from Blair to Place d’OrlĂŠans, then to Trim, but my intention is don’t stop. Don’t go to Place d’OrlĂŠans and say, ‘Oh, we’re done.’ Keep going. And the same thing with the airport extension. Don’t stop, just keep going.â€? “Keep goingâ€? sounds good, although exactly how much of the public transit infrastructure fund that the City of Ottawa will eventually get its hands on will have to be determined in the future as Ottawa will be competing with numerous other cities in Canada seeking that cash. But for now, Ottawa’s LRT plans seem to have been given a greenlight to speed up in the coming years.
Lessons to be learned from Ford Nation
B
y now you’ve had your fill of commentary on the late Toronto mayor, Rob Ford. As always, when a famous person dies, there is a tendency to sugarcoat and sentimentalize. Mortal enemies of the deceased praise his good qualities and you don’t believe them for a minute. So it was with Ford, but that’s the way it usually is. The old expression is “don’t speak ill of the dead�, and, for most of us, it doesn’t feel comfortable to do otherwise. But what is Rob Ford’s real legacy? He will not go down in history as a great mayor, although some admired his conservative ideas. Personally, he was a mess, a guy who struggled with drugs and alcohol, and attracted either

His personal and political collapse played out in public, and while it made worldwide headlines, it was not something that was fun to watch. If there is anything to be learned from his career, it comes not so much from the man himself as from the support he attracted, the people who cheered him on.

though Ford came from wealth), a guy who wasn’t like politicians, a guy who spoke his mind. Sound familiar? Sure. It’s Donald Trump. The fact that Trump has the same kind of appeal shows the durability of the sentiments that elected Rob Ford and also the folly of underestimating people like him. Because that was one of the first things that happened when Ford emerged as a politician. The elites — political, media and intellectual — dismissed him as a clown. They couldn’t understand how anyone could vote for such a person. But people could, and one of the reasons they could was because they had come to resent elite opinion. When the elites sneered at Rob Ford, the people who liked him felt sneered at too. Voting for Rob Ford was an act of revenge.

The Toronto establishment tut-tutted that he was hurting the city’s image, a rather misplaced concern. In fact, it didn’t do Ford’s cause one bit of harm to have establishment tastemakers attack him. That was just more proof that he was standing up for the little guy against the elites. You can see that happening with Trump too. In a smaller way, you could see it in the success of Larry O’Brien when he ran for mayor of Ottawa on a simplistic platform of freezing taxes and cutting red tape. Underestimating such politicians didn’t work, doesn’t work. Taking their supporters seriously does. Most of us think we have it pretty good here, and we do, compared with the rest of the world. But that doesn’t mean that everybody is happy. Many of those who aren’t feel that they are being cheated. They see wealth and exagger-

ated happiness all around them, particularly on television, and they sense unfairness. They are aware of tastemakers who disrespect what they eat, what TV shows they watch and what they drive. They want to hit back and are happy to find a politician who says he wants to hit back too. Rob Ford was a politician like that. He was not the last.

District Governor honours club’s secretaries John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Two of whom Rotary District Governor Claude LaLiberte called Rotary’s “unsung heroes” were honoured at the Wednesday, March 23 meeting of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville. Wendy Adams and Ron Hauck, the Club’s two secretaries, both received a gold pin which District Governor LaLiberte had specially made for presentation to club secretaries. He said that the pin featured a gold colour because gold in the Olympics indicates the best. He called Rotary Club secretaries “unsung heroes” as they are club members who do a lot of work which often goes unnoticed and is taken for granted. Presenting these secretaries with a specially-made pin is a way of saying “thank you” for this work. He suggested that Rotary Clubs should take the time at one meeting a year to specifi-
cally thank the club’s secretary and treasurer for all the work that they do during the year in their roles in the club. Wendy Adams and Ron Hauck received a standing ovation from their fellow club members when they were presented with their gold pins by District Governor LaLiberte. In his comments at the meeting, District Governor LaLiberte touched on Rotary membership growth, saying that this is a problem for every Rotary Club in North America. He said that in his view it is not the size of a Rotary Club that matters but rather what matters is the quality of a club’s members. He suggested that potential new Rotary Club members should be approached on the basis that being involved with Rotary gives them an opportunity to serve and do good in the community and the world. He said that people have the time to be involved with Rotary but the decision to join a Rotary
Club is a matter of personal priorities related to wanting to have an opportunity to serve and help the community and the world. District Governor LaLiberte also suggested that today’s potential new young Rotary members are familiar with humanitarian work and want to work on such projects rather than simply attend weekly meetings. “As a Rotarian, I want to work, I want to do things,” he said in explaining this mindset. He said that Rotary Clubs can meet membership challenges by undertaking projects. He said that club projects do not have to be big ones but can be simply things which involve all members, allowing them to do good while having fun doing so. District Governor LaLiberte was accompanied on his visit to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville by Rotary Area Governor Hadi Mortada.
Notice of Completion of Transit Project Assessment Process Confederation Line East Light Rail Transit Extension The City of Ottawa has completed an Environmental Project Report in accordance with Ontario Regulation 231/08 for the Confederation Line East Light Rail Transit Extension Planning and Environmental Assessment study. The Project The City of Ottawa has developed a plan to extend and expand the City’s existing Light Rail Transit Network. Specifically the plan includes extending the future Confederation Line further east from Blair Station to an interim terminal at Place d’Orléans station and, ultimately, to Trim Road (see Ottawa.ca/easternlrt or Ottawa.ca/tlrest for further information). The plan includes options to service the community of Orleans and adjacent lands. New stations will be located at Montreal Road, Jeanne d’Arc Boulevard, Orléans Boulevard and the terminal station at Place d’Orléans. Additional stations will ultimately be constructed at Brisebois Crescent/Mockingbird Drive (Orleans Town Centre), east of Tenth Line Road and the terminus of the line at Trim Road. Preliminary engineering review has resulted in design refinements to the alignment between Blair Station and Montreal Road Station. These changes have no additional environmental impact, reduce implementation costs, and have been incorporated into the Environmental Project Report.
Impacts to private property are not anticipated as the preferred alternative for the East LRT alignment is entirely within the right-of-way of Highway 174. The Process The environmental impact of this transit project was assessed and an Environmental Project Report (EPR) prepared according to the Transit Project Assessment Process as prescribed in Ontario Regulation 231/08, Transit Projects and Greater Toronto Transportation Authority Undertakings. The EPR documents the entire study process, including a description of the planned project, its anticipated environmental impacts, and the project’s consultation program. The EPR for the Confederation Line East LRT Extension project will be available for a 30-day public review period starting March 24, 2016 at the locations noted below during their regular business hours.

Men’s and Boys’ Choir from Christ Church Cathedral to sing at St. Thomas Anglican Church on April 10th John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
One of Canada’s foremost men’s and boys’ choirs will be singing in Stittsville on Sunday, April 10. The Men’s and Boys’ Choir from Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa will be singing at the 10:30 a.m. service at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on Sunday, April 10 as part of the church’s 150th anniversary celebrations this year. The Choir of Men and Boys from Christ Church Cathedral, formed initially in 1891, is one of the few remaining choirs of men and boys in North America and is the only resident choir in a Canadian Anglican cathedral. The choir consists of 20 boys between the ages of 8 and 14 years as well as adult male singers. This Choir of Men and Boys of Christ Church Cathedral sings regularly at Cathedral liturgies as well as at major cathedral events. The Choir has performed with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, on CBC radio and TV, at the Governor General’s Arts Awards and at the Senate
on Parliament Hill. In 1999, the Choir visited the Arctic and it has also performed in the United States, France and England. Mathew Larkin is the organist and Director of Music for this Choir of Men and Boys of Christ Church Cathedral. Under his guidance, the Choir is continuing the musical heritage for which Christ Church Cathedral is known. Christ Church Cathedral is the Anglican cathedral located on Queen Street in Ottawa. The initial church on the site was completed in 1843 while the current church dates to 1873. It was designated a cathedral in 1897 with the formation of the Diocese of Ottawas.

Issue of photo radar is to be debated at city council’s transportation committee Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com

A quest to ask the province to equip Ottawa with photo radar has been temporarily parked. “The issue of speeding vehicles in or near residential communities is the No. 1 safety issue in River Ward and prevails across the city,” River Coun. Riley Brockington told council March 23, while pitching a request to seek the provincial government’s permission to allow Ottawa to use the technology. “While other issues exist – we’ve heard about guns and gangs, drug dealing, prostitution – the severity and frequency of these matters pale in comparison to excessive speeding in our communities.” While Brockington acknowledged photo radar “isn’t the silver bullet,” he doesn’t envision its widespread use on Ottawa’s roadways. Rather, it could be deployed on select streets where other traffic-calming measures have proven ineffective and police presence is rare, said Brockington, who has sounded the alarm before on traffic woes after learning the Ottawa police east district traffic complaint team was scaled back at times last year from four to two officers. Knoxdale-Merivale Coun. Keith Egli spearheaded the move to have the issue de-
bated at the transportation committee, which he chairs, on May 4, saying there is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about where photo radar can be used and when. Although Egli said he agrees that speeding is an issue, he criticized Brockington’s motion, saying it “leapfrogged” council and didn’t allow for any public delegations to come forward. “We all know that photo radar is a divisive issue in communities,” he said. Before the city makes “a fundamental change in enforcement,” even on a limited number of streets, that technology is “a discussion we need to have with the public,” said Egli. His motion was seconded by Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson, who said committee could discuss the merits of a pilot project to explore the different ways photo radar could be implemented so it “doesn’t become a cash cow.” Brockington acknowledged concerns that photo radar can be a money grab are partially real, and some cities use it in excess. However, he said his request to seek the province’s permission wasn’t designed to fill city coffers, but rather to arm the city with another safety tool. Brockington ultimately agreed to send the matter to committee, noting he fully embraces public consultation.
Council balks at change in facility rentals Erin McCracken erin.mccracken@metroland.com
A chorus of upset councillors says any increase in the amount of facility rental times given to new sports groups each year would need a new round of public consultation. Rideau-Vanier Coun. Mathieu Fleury’s bid to increase sports field, ball diamond and ice time availability from up to five per cent to from up to ten per cent was met with 19 dissenting votes at the
March 23 council meeting. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder took the reins in criticizing Fleury’s motion to change the city’s rental policy refresh currently in development. Staff determined five per cent is enough, giving returning groups a chance to adjust to whatever their new schedule allocation might be. It would also allow for about 1,000 new users to rent out the city’s arenas, said Dan Chenier, manager of the city’s parks and recre-
ation department. Fleury told his colleagues he was “sad” over their reaction given the “fulsome discussion” that previously took place at the committee level that began with 30 percent, which he understands is a big risk. However, he pointed out that committee members said they were willing to go down to 10 per cent on the spot, which he said would have sufficed for a growing sport. - with files from Jennifer McIntosh

Tysen Lefebvre receives Mayor’s City Builder Award John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Another honour for Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville. The 15 year old received a Mayor’s City Builder Award
SUBMITTED
The Hon. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, right, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, gives the “thumbs up” sign along with Tysen Lefebvre, left, of Stittsville after presenting Tysen with his Ontario Junior Citizen award at Queen’s Park in Toronto.
before the start of the Ottawa city council meeting on Wednesday, March 23 at Ottawa city hall. The Mayor’s City Builder Award is a civic honour created to recognize an individual, group or organization that has demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to making the city a better place today and for the future, either through outstanding volunteerism or through exemplary action. This includes outstanding acts of kindness, inspiring charitable work, community building, lifelong service or other achievements. The award is presented based on nominations received from members of city council or from members of the public. In presenting the award, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson called Tysen a very special young man who has raised over $400,000 to date in his Mission To A Million campaign for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. The mayor praised Tysen not only for his campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, enough to fund the granting of 100 wishes for youth facing life-threatening illnesses, but also for encouraging a culture of caring within his local community of Stittsville where other youth, for instance, are now using their birthday parties as opportunities for giving
16 NEW THINGS AT
rather than receiving. It was in Nov. 2012 that Tysen, who has Pfeiffer Syndrome Type 2 which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the skull, facial features and limbs, had his own wish granted, namely to go to Los Angeles to meet his hero, actor Adam Sandler. When he witnessed Adam’s generosity and philanthropic work, he returned home with the idea to launch Mission To A Million, a five year fundraising campaign to raise a total of one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario so that 100 youth could have their wishes come true. A wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario usually costs about $10,000. He has now raised about $450,000, almost at the halfway point of the campaign which also is almost at its halfway point time-wise. Indeed, the upcoming World Wish Day on Friday, April 29 marks two and a half years since Tysen started his five year Mission To A Million campaign. World Wish Day is a global celebration of wish granting. It celebrates the day in 1980 when Chris Greicius received his wish to be a police officer for a day. This inspired the creation of the global Make-A-Wish wish granting movement. A total of 46 wishes have now been granted thanks to funding from Tysen’s Mission To A Million campaign. He
says that every time that a wish is granted from funds raised by the Mission To A Million, it feels like his own wish is being granted again. Tysen is always on hand for the revealing of his wish granted with Mission To A Million funding. At the ceremony at city hall at which he received the Mayor’s City Builder Award, Tysen thanked the city for the honour. He also thanked Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario for giving him the opportunity to help out with his Mission To A Million campaign, noting that funding from the campaign means that youth do not have to wait as long for a wish to be granted. This Mayor’s City Builder Award was the second major honour which Tysen received in the month of March. On Monday, March 7, he was in Toronto where he was one of 13 youth from across the province who were honoured as recipients of 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen awards. He received the award from the Hon. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, with the ceremony taking place in her suite at Queen’s Park. The Ontario Junior Citizen award is presented annually to youth from across the province who have distinguished themselves through their inspiring community involvement.

If you have an appetite and a bib, then we have a place for you to be this Saturday, April 2. It’s the annual spaghetti dinner which is taking place at the Munster United Church in the heart of Munster. Everyone is welcome to attend this spaghetti dinner which will run from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. The menu will include spaghetti, Caesar salad, buns, ice cream and homemade cookies. Free will donations would be appreciated. It’s a great way to mark the beginning of
spring and the coming of April showers. Although spaghetti can be traced back to the 12th century in Sicily, it became popular throughout Italy following the establishment of spaghetti factories in the 19th century. This resulted in mass production of spaghetti for the Italian market. The popularity of spaghetti spread to North America around the end of the 19th century. The world record for the largest bowl of spaghetti was set n March 2009 and again in March 2010 when a restaurant in California filled a swimming pool with more than 13,780 pounds of spaghetti.

Beatles history takes centre stage again Tara Gesner tgesner@metroland.com
It was a sellout for the Station Theatre in Smiths Falls on March 12, proving the Beatles can still pack them in. The venue hosted the launch of the book The Beatles in Canada – The Origins of Beatlemania! by author Piers Hemmingsen. Hemmingsen, who now calls Toronto home, has spent many years researching the Beatles, and his book contains 468 pages of captivating stories, little known facts, artifacts and photos of the English rock band’s important history. Moreover, the book comes with a CD of radio interviews and recordings of the band playing. The Beatles in Canada – The Origins of Beatlemania! sold for $60 on March 12, a one-time price for the books to support the Library and promote Smiths Falls as the birthplace of The Beatles’ music in North America. Earlier in his life, Hemmingsen moved to England with his family, residing in Larkhill, near Salisbury Wiltshire. They stayed from 1961 to 1963. It was here Hemmingsen first experienced the Beatles, listening to his older brother’s copy of Please Please Me, the Fab Four’s debut studio album. In addition to the title track, other popular singles included Love Me Do and I Saw Her Standing There. Also during the time, the Hemmingsen family watched the Beatles perform on British television – in black and white, of course. STORYTELLING
Within the intimate setting of the Station Theatre, guests listened to Hemmingsen and a handful of presenters, including former Smiths Falls mayor Dennis Staples,

RCA Victor employee Charlie Dalton, Beatles Fan Club founder Trudy Medcalf, photographer Lynn Ball, Gary Comeau of The Esquires, and Chris Saumure, the owner of the former RCA Victor plant. “You are going to hear a very important story tonight,” Staples said. He noted it was a tale about the Beatles in Canada and the significant part played by the RCA Victor plant in Smiths Falls.
“The plant near Montreal was getting old and they were looking for a place to build another plant. Many people (who worked there) came from Montreal; however, there was local talent too.” AUTHOR PIERS HEMMINGSEN
T h e record pressing plant, which c o s t $750,000 to build, opened its doors in 1954, at the site of the current Cornelia Court – 91 Cornelia St. W. “The plant near Montreal was getting old and they were looking for a place to build another plant,” Hemmingsen said. “Many people (who worked there) came from Montreal; however, there was local talent too.” RCA Victor was a successful American company. The Smiths Falls record pressing plant employed hundreds (three shifts), and about
“We had the plant running like a Swiss watch and by the time Beatlemania happened in Canada in the mid-1960s, Smiths Falls could handle it.” RCA VICTOR EMPLOYEE CHARLIE DALTON
80 per cent were women. Dalton was employed at RCA Victor in Smiths Falls for 26 years. He worked in both shipping and production control. “We had the plant running like a Swiss watch,” he said, “and by the time Beatlemania happened in Canada in the mid-1960s, Smiths Falls could handle it,” he said. FIRST RECORD
The first Beatles record ever pressed in North America – Love Me Do – was done at RCA Victor in Smiths Falls. The Smiths Falls plant was also instrumental in crafting the music of Elvis Presley. “Elvis was huge,” Dalton said. He recounted vacationing at a cottage when the King of Rock and Roll died in 1977 at age 42. To indulge the certain sentimental rush, “my boss called me and demanded I come back to work,” he said. “The plant pressed a million records in about a month.” Other presenters included Medcalf, who, in 1963, as a teenager, met the Beatles at a concert in England. She would later become the president of the largest North American fan club for the band, with over 100,000 members. Ball, an award-winning photographer, lives just outside Smiths Falls. He photographed the Fab Four in 1964 and 1965. A number of his photos were displayed on March 12. The Esquires, based in Otttawa, were co-founded by Comeau. The group developed a strong local following during the 1962-1963 period, and were signed to Capitol Records in 1963. CLOSED IN 1978
The band won the first Juno (Gold Leaf Award) in 1964, and was the opening act for major performers, including the Rolling Stones, Beach Boys, Roy Orbison and more. Last year, Hemmingsen asked Staples to hook him up with individuals who worked at RCA victor in Smiths Falls, including Dalton. A number of Dalton’s artifacts were on display at the Station Theatre, including Nipper, RCA Victor’s mascot. The RCA Victor plant in Smiths Falls closed its doors in 1978, with the opening of a plant in Toronto. Books are available at the Smiths Falls Community Hospital Auxiliary gift shop.

Hosting events to benefit the community Special to the News
Bill Martin and Sue Lambe are two local realtors who are actively giving back to the community. Known as “The Hometown Team,” the pair not only sells houses but is trying to give back to the community in which they live and work and, in so doing, hopefully inspire others to do the same. Bill Martin is a familiar face at the Stittsville Legion Hall where he is a regular volunteer and where he hosts the Friday open mic night. Sue Lambe experienced a cancer diagnosis last June and was looking for a way to give back to the community which she and her family call home. After talking, Bill and Sue realized a desire to combine their ideas and talents and they began producing and hosting local events to benefit the community. Last September they hosted a Karaoke for Cancer Awareness event, raising over $3,600 for the Canadian Cancer Society. This is now being planned as an annual event, with the event planned again for this coming Septem-
ber. Last December Bill and Sue hosted Breakfast with Santa at the Stittsville Legion Hall. The turnout was tremendous and the community support for the event allowed them to donate a pickup truck full of food items as well as over $1,000 in cash to the Stittsville Food Bank. This Breakfast with Santa event will be held again this coming December. Last Saturday afternoon, Bill and Sue hosted an Easter Egg Hunt at the park in the Jackson Trails subdivision in Stittsville. It had originally been planned to hold this Easter Egg Hunt at Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville but ground conditions dictated that the event be re-located to the Jackson Trails park. All proceeds from the event are being donated to support Chrysalis House, a local shelter for women and children facing abusive situations. Both Bill and Sue come from small towns themselves and so they share similar values. They believe in the value of a close knit community where neighbours and local businesses support one another.

Mayor’s Report
LIGHT RAIL UPDATE By: Mayor Jim Watson
While the snow melts and days getting longer, another busy construction season is set to begin. While we can expect some delays, crews will be hard at work improving how quickly and comfortably residents move around our city. Luckily, crews working on the Confederation Line Light Rail have been hard at work throughout the winter. The Confederation Line project continues on-time and on-budget and I am excited to update you on several significant milestones. • Phase 1 – will be up and running in 2018 • 2016 will see the final section of running tunnel between Rideau and Parliament stations excavated. • Excavation of the Lyon Station was recently completed, while Parliament is over 90% complete and Rideau soon to reach 80%.
What’s happening at Stittsville Legion? Barb Vant’Slot Special to the News
A clothing collection bin will soon be in place on the Stittsville Legion property on Stittsville Main Street. This is a partnership between the Stittsville Legion and the BIG BROTHERS and BIG SISTERS organization. Good used clothing donations will be most welcome for this new collection bin. The ladies of the knitting/crochet group at the Stittsville Legion were invited to the Stittsville Villa on Monday, March 21 by the ladies of the Knotty Knitters group at the Villa. The ladies at the Legion and the Knotty Knitters work together to knit pic line covers that are donated to the Ottawa Civic and General Hospitals. Bonnie McConnell, a nurse, explained the usage of the pic covers which the Knotty Knitters and the Stittsville Legion ladies have been making and donating for over a year now. Indeed, over 1,000 pic line covers have been donated in this time. Bonnie explained that the pic line covers are not only aesthetically pleasing
• More than 3.5 kilometres of track have been installed to date. • All 13 LRT stations will be under construction before the end of 2016. • Testing on some of the world-class Alstom CITADIS Spirit LRT vehicles will begin within the next year. As many of you know, this is just the first phase of the system we will be constructing over the next decade. The next chapter of light rail is just around the corner: Stage 2 of LRT. When Stage 2 is complete in 2023, residents will be able to catch a train as far west as Bayshore and Algonquin College, as far east as Place d’Orleans, and as far south as Riverside South. This will bring close to 70 percent of the city’s population within five kilometres of rail. This will fundamentally transform the way our city moves and grows. Bringing light rail to Ottawa will be the single largest infrastructure project since Colonel By built the Rideau Canal. With a project of this size and scope, some disruptions are unavoidable for commuters. To ensure the fewest disruptions to your commute as possible, I encourage you to access construction and traffic management information by: • Visiting the City of Ottawa’s interactive traffic map at traffic.ottawa.ca • Calling 3-1-1 • Following the City of Ottawa’s Traffic Twitter feed @Ottawa_Traffic • Signing up to receive regular e-mail updates at Ottawa.ca/confederationline For those who make use Ottawa’s extensive multi-use pathway network, all efforts will be made to ensure access is maintained during construction, where safety permits. Detours will be provided where necessary. Thank you for your patience as the O-Train Confederation Line continues to grow into reality. The way our city moves and grows will benefit our economy, our environment, and our families for generations to come.

‘The P-Jams’ perform at Guardian Angels School John Curry
Looking for direction in a volatile market? Let’s talk.
john.curry@metroland.com
The gymnasium at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville was filled with music. It was the world premiere, as it were, of the 28-member vocal group “The P-Jamas” or “The PJams” in short who performed four
newly composed songs. The students in this new vocal group were drawn from various classes in the school. They had spent the week prior to their performance learning how to write songs as well as learning about the different styles of music. They had received instruction and advice from two professional
musicians, Shawn Tavenier and Tyler Kealey, who had spent the week at the school with the students. This was made possible thanks to the RBC Bluesfest and its “Blues in the Schools” program which sees professional musicians visit local schools to spread the message of music. See ‘BLUES,’ page 23

‘Blues in the Schools’ at Guardian Angels Catholic School Continued from page 22
In this “Blues in the Schools” program, there was a week of performances by various musicians, followed by the week-long song writing sessions led by Shawn and Tyler, culminating in the performance by “The P-Jamas.” “The P-Jamas” performed four songs which had been composed in the days leading up to their performance to a gymnasium packed
with their school mates as well as their teachers and some parents. Shawn explained that writing a song requires not only hard work but also a lot of good ideas which come from a person’s imagination. Each of the four songs performed by “The P-Jamas” represented a different style of music – so there was a blues song, a country song, a hip hop song and a rock ‘n roll song.
The blues song was called “My Magic Window,” all about looking out a window at various things that are going on outside. This was followed by a song entitled “Sweet Summertime” which told about the awesome activities that take place in the summer such as camping, swimming and eating ice cream. Then it was a hip hop song, called “School Daze” which told about the things that happen at
school such as school buses, homework and seeing friends every day. “The P-Jamas” wrapped up their performance with an energetic rock’n roll song named “All The Sports We Play,” which told about
playing sports such as soccer, basketball, skateboarding and hockey. In these songs, members of “The P-Jamas” incorporated a lot of arm movements into their performance. See PYJAMAS, page 24

Members of “The P-Jamas” also wore pyjama clothing in keeping with their group name. Indeed, their instructors Shawn and Tyler also were dressed in pyjamas as a gesture to the group’s name. The audience was warmed up before the performance of “The P-Jamas” by Shawn and Tyler who performed several songs, with Shawn providing guitar accompaniment while Tyler played the keyboard. They started off playing “What A Wonder-
ful World,” a song first recorded by the great jazz trumpeter and singer Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong in 1967. Indeed, this recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. They followed this iconic song up with “Midnight Special,” a song which got the audience really going with rhythmic clapping and clapping hands over the head. “Midnight Special” is a country/blues style song with its roots in a traditional folk song from the American South.

Donation from Royal Bank to help with program Continued from page 24
At the conclusion of this musical as- in the “P-Jamas” musical group, calling Two representatives from the Royal Bank – Rania Zammar and Rachelle Tyler and Shawn then paid trib- sembly, Tyler paid tribute to the students them “amazing.” ute to the pyjamas which all of the performers i.e. Shawn, Tyler and the members of “The P-Jamas” were wearing, singing “What The World Needs Now Is Love,” a 1965 song first recorded by Jackie DeShannon which has since been recorded by over 100 artists including Barry Manilow, Johnny Mathis, Judy Garland, The Supremes and more. But in singing it, Tyler changed the words slightly so that it became a tribute to pyjamas. So, the lyrics which he sang were as follows: “What the world needs now is flannel, sweet flannel.” A rousing edition of “Great Balls of Fire,” a 1957 hit for American singer/songwriter Jerry Lee Lewis really filled the room with energy and excitement. You could see and hear why this song sold one million copies in the first ten days of its release in the United States and why it has sold over five million copies in total, making it one of the best selling singles ever in the United States. Indeed, a 1989 movie chronicling the life of Jerry Lee Lewis starring JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Dennis Quaid was called “Great Shawn Tavenier, left, standing, with the guitar, and Tyler Kealey, right, sitting at the keyboard, entertain at the wrapup Bells of Fire.” Blues in the Schools concert at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville.
Brisebois – were in attendance at the assembly and presented a donation of $500 to the school to help sponsor the “Blues in the Schools” program at Guardian Angels School. The “Blues in the Schools” program, which started in 1999, sees visiting musicians present a series of concertlike assemblies in the participating schools. These are followed by workshops for groups of students who learn about the heritage of blues music and learning about song writing and performing. This culminates in a school assembly at which the students perform. The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) is the sponsor for Bluesfest.

Stittsville Nitros are champions Special to the News
SUBMITTED
Members of the Stittsville Nitros Atom A1 team, champions in the recent Capital House League Championship Tournament and also House Atom A playoff champions in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League, are, lying at the front, goalie Ethan Clement; first row, kneeling, from left, Pascal Tjegue, Ethan Michaud, Marco Dattilo, Ryan Inglis, Malachi Zobarich and Owen Carr; second row, standing, from left, Daniel Raymond, Jaden Jolicoeur, Jacob Read, Wyatt Belanger, Zachary Soifer, Hudson Reid and Jaeden Inniss; and, back row, from left, assistant coach Richard Zobarich, head coach Steve Soifer and assistant coach Dave Clement.
The Stittsville Nitros Atom A1 team capped off a great season by winning the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League House Atom A playoff championship last Sunday. The Nitros defeated West Carleton in two straight games, winning 4-1 in the first game and winning again last Sunday to capture the House Atom A playoff championship banner. It was a great ending for a season that saw the Nitros play together as a team, exhibiting phenomenal passing. The Nitros had won the Atom A division in the recent 12th annual Capital House League Championship Tournament, capturing the championship trophy, the gold medals and the Capital House League Atom A championship banner. In this tournament, the Nitros won three games and tied one before defeating the Cumberland Dukes 2-1 in the championship final. But it was not an easy victory, as Cumberland led 1-0 until the last period when the Nitros rallied to win by a 2-1 score. At the beginning of the season, the Stittsville Nitros made it to the finals of the Andy McGarvey Tournament in Napanee, bringing home the silver medals.

Nurse tells knitters about importance of knitted pic line covers John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Members of the Knotty Knitters Group at the Stittsville Seniors
Community by Revera and also those from the knitting group at the Stittsville Legion have heard directly from a nurse just how important the stint sleeves or pic line
covers which they knit are at The Ottawa Hospital. Bonnie McConnell of Stittsville, who is a nurse at The Ottawa Hospital and who is part of the team

Showing an assortment of the knitted items including pic line covers which knitters of the Knotty Knitters Group at the Stittsville Seniors Community and knitters from the Stittsville Legion knit for use at The Ottawa Hospital are, from left, Jenna Gardiner, lifestyle consultant at the Stittsville Seniors Community; Bonnie McConnell, a nurse at The Ottawa Hospital; Monetta Ayotte of the Knotty Knitters Group; Aileen Appel of the Stittsville Legion; and Doris Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill of the Knotty Knitters Group.
which administers pic lines for patients, told the assembled knitters at a recent gathering at the Stittsville Seniors Community how valuable and how appreciated are the pic line covers knitted by the members of the two knitting groups. She said that the knitted pic line covers decrease the number of pic lines which have to be replaced since these covers provide a protection for the pic line. In addition, patients like the pic line covers not only because of this protection that they provide but also because they cover up the pic line. Patients like these pic line covers so much that they often ask for a second one to be used as a replacement when the initial one is being washed or cleaned. A particular favourite with patients is a pic line cover knitted with the colours of the Ottawa Senators hockey team. Pic lines are used at the hospitals to provide patients with antibiotics, with chemotherapy, with nutrition or with hydration. The advantage of a pic line is that the stint is inserted into a vein in the arm just once. Before pic lines, the stint had to be inserted into a new vein each time that the pic line needed to be used. Eventually all of the veins
had been used. With a pic line, this is done just once and the pic line stays in place for as long as is necessary which could be years. All medications and even blood work can be done using the pic line. The pic line covers are important because they protect the pic line, ensuring that it stays in place as long as is needed. The pic line cover also hides the pic line, making a patient feel less conscious about the presence of the pic line in the arm. Nurse McConnell explained that pic lines began in use in the United States about 30 years ago. The Ottawa Hospital started using them about 13 years ago and now five full-time nurses are employed setting up pic lines for patients, doing up to 25 a day. So there is a constant and steady need for the knitted pic line covers which are knitted by the Knotty Knitters Group and the Stittsville Legion knitting group. Nurse McConnell is the one who picks up the finished knitted pic line covers done by the Knotty Knitters Group and the Stittsville Legion knitting group and delivers them to The Ottawa Hospital where they are used at both the Civic and General campuses.

Knitted items for The Ottawa Hospital include over 300 pic line covers Continued from page 37
She told the knitters at this recent gathering that the pic line nurses at The Ottawa Hospital are very grateful for the knitted pic line covers and are very thankful that the knitters can produce enough of them to meet the ongoing demand. “You ladies are lovely,” she said in thanking the
knitters for their work which not only includes stint sleeves or pic line covers but also includes baby caps and slippers. Nurse McConnell said that it is nice to know that people care enough about others that they make the effort to provide these knitted items for hospital patients. The Stittsville Legion provides the yarn used by these knitters, with the yarn either being donated or acquired at garage sales. The providing of knitted items to The Ottawa Hospital, especially pic line cov-
ers, all began with a conversation involving nurse McConnell and Aileen Appel of the Stittsville Legion at an event at the Stittsville Legion Hall. The Stittsville Legion knitting group started as a result under the auspices of Aileen Appel. When Stittsville Seniors Community resident Monetta Ayotte joined the Legion group, she took the knitting message back to the Stittsville Seniors Community and one by one, other ladies there started knitting the needed items as well. This is
how the Knotty Knitters Group began. All of the members of the Knotty Knitters Group knit at their own pace and on their own time. “If we’re sittin’ we’re knittin’” is the motto of this Knotty Knitters Group at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. To date, members of the group have knitted over 300 stint sleeves or pic line covers as well as other items such as baby caps and slippers.

I am negotiating to purchase a business and my business advisor has strongly suggested I structure the deal as an “asset purchase”. Why is this preferable? avoided through an asset purchase agreement. For example, if the owner of the business has been pocketing cash payments or using corporate assets for personal use, the business may be exposed to reassessments and penalties by the Canada Revenue Agency. A purchase of shares would mean that you, through the purchased corporation, are exposed to those claims.
There are two principal ways to structure the agreement of purchase and sale of a business: as an asset purchase or as a share purchase. An asset purchase is just that, a purchase of listed assets without taking on liabilities of the business. A share purchase, by contrast, is the purchase of the shares of the corporation that carries on the business and owns the assets. There are a number of considerations as to which form of purchase is preferable. In this article, we want to focus on why your advisor has strongly recommended an asset purchase.
Exceptions There are some exceptions to the avoidance of liability by an asset purchase. For instance, if the purchased business employed unionized labour, a collective agreement and any ongoing liabilities thereunder will follow the purchased business, even if structured as an asset purchase. Your legal counsel can assist you to identify and understand the relevant risks and how to avoid them where possible or otherwise obtain protection.
Liability A properly structured asset purchase agreement will allow you to purchase all of the desirable assets of the business you wish to acquire while leaving out the unwanted liabilities. Your advisor has likely identified the business as one (by its nature or by the disclosure you’ve obtained) in which there are significant potential liabilities that may be

Kourtney Kelly’s song hits #12 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
A concluding lyric in one of Frank Sinatra’s signature songs, “New York, New York,” says “If I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere/It’s up to you, New York, New York.” And right now, 20 year old Kourtney Kelly is living this dream as a small town Stittsville girl who is making it in New York City.

Her song “Solid Ground” has risen to the number 12 position on the U.S. Billboard Dance Songs Chart, quite an achievement for a first release by an unsigned artist. The song has had more than 16,000 views on YouTube as young fans discover her work. Indeed, on a recent trip, she was even recognized on the plane by two young girls who had used an application called Video Star to make their own music video to “Solid Ground.” Kourtney has also been experiencing some time on red carpets lately. She was escorted to the recent Video Music Awards by music producer Chris Young where she walked on the red carpet, receiving valuable press coverage. “It was such a surreal moment and it’s something I will never forget,” says Kourtney about this initial red carpet experience. She was back on a red carpet again at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles where she shared the red carpet with many television celebrities and stars. This experience was caught on camera by both American celebrity photographer Patrick McMullan and Getty Images. Kourtney’s journey to her current situation in New York began in Stittsville where she learned to ride ponies at Fiddler’s Green Stables on Flewellyn Road and where she played hockey, softball and soccer in Stittsville youth leagues. She attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School until 2006, going on to Sacred Heart High School and then Canterbury High School for its dramatic arts program. This was followed by a scholarship to the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts for post-secondary studies in the field of film and television acting, graduating as a top student. In this two year program, she learned techniques for the camera as well as the business in general and how to be successful in the business. She calls it “a little bit of Irish luck” that she was discovered by music producer Chris Young who has worked with many talented artists including Guns and Roses, Countess LuAnne, The Ramones and Ashlee Simpson. Following an initial audition, Kourtney and Chris Young formed a concrete working relationship. The music team which was assembled included Elena Goddard as the writer of songs, Josh Cohen as the guitarist and vocal arranger and Chris Young himself as the producer. This team took a trip up to Woodstock, New York where they wrote, came up with various ideas and de-

Back in New York City, recording was done at the Quad studios, a state-of-the-art recording studio where artists Beyonce and Rihanna are currently recording. Kourtney had a five-day lockout in the studio where she and her music team worked from sun up to sun down. Kourtney describes this five-day period as “so rewarding but definitely a lot of hard work.” She says that the most challenging aspect of this recording session was trying to get the emotion across in her singing while having to stay super still in the booth. But this recording session saw Kourtney find her sound. Producer Chris Young was able to bring out an edge in her music that she did not have previously. “It was more rough than anything I had done before,” Kourtney observes.
Once the various tracks were recorded, the music team had a decision to make – what song was going to be the first one released? After some long discussions and many listens to the different tracks, it was decided to go with “Solid Ground.” With this decision made, the recording was then sent to DJ Riddler and Mike Cruz who both did re-mixes on the song. In addition, guided by producer Young, Kourtney showcased this song “Solid Ground” around the United States, singing it for industry professionals in places like Denver, Las Vegas and New Orleans. The song was well received. Returning to New York City, Kourtney and producer Chris Young sent the song to different promoters for distribution to top DJ’s playing in clubs all over the United States. See SINGING, page 48

Way of the Cross Walk in Richmond John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Easter was early this year. There was still snow on the ground and a chill in the air when the annual Way of the Cross Walk took place in Richmond last Friday which was Good Friday. This year’s Walk began at the Grace Assembly Pentecostal Church at the Richmond Plaza with Rev. John Spurrell hammering the first nail into the wooden cross which would be carried from church to church in the Walk. Station one of the Walk, Pilate Condemns Jesus to Die, took place at the Grace Assembly.
The Walk then visited St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, also on McBean Street, St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street and finally St. Philip Catholic Church on Burke Street. A nail was pounded into the wooden cross at each of the churches visited. At St. Paul’s United Church, which featured a red carpet laid up the church’s centre aisle, with palm leaves and lighted candles adorning it, leading to a cross draped in red, Station two of the Walk, namely
“Jesus Accepts His Cross,” was proclaimed. Station three of the Walk, “Jesus Is Stripped of His Garments,” was prayed at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church while Station four of the Walk, “Jesus is Nailed to the Cross,” happened at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church. The final station on the Walk, Station five, was “Jesus Dies on the Cross.” Following this final station at St. Philip Catholic Church, a luncheon of soup and buns was served at St. Philip’s.

Harmony Gardens displays ‘Burst Forth’ garden at Home & Garden Show John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
While it will still be several weeks before local gardens are growing and blooming, this was not the case at last weekend’s Ottawa Home & Garden Show at the EY Centre in Ottawa where 11 display gardens designed and built by members of the Eastern Ontario Chapter of Landscape Ontario and stretching over a total of 30,000 square feet brought colour and beauty to the show. And one of these display gardens was a garden entitled “Burst Forth” developed and presented by Harmony Gardens Landscaping Inc. of Richmond. This 10 foot by 30 foot garden named “Burst Forth” was a playful and contemporary display suited to a constrained space such as a side yard or the exterior of a small town home. Given the display’s limited space, its vertical elements in the form of a backdrop and upright trees provided much of the visual interest for the garden, harmonizing the entire horizontal space. Crisp, sharp angles were balanced by flowing curves within the hardscape as well as the backdrop. A variety of plant material softened the hard landscaping elements to add vibrancy
to the space. A natural stone bubble rock added a soothing, yet refreshing element of water to the garden. The garden’s pre-built backdrop of horizontal and vertical stained cedar boards and brightly painted hardboard with sweeping curves was inset with painted PVC pipes, some open and some with flowers, creating a vertical planting feature – a living wall. Painted PVC pipes were cut to various lengths and clustered in a flowing line showcasing a variety of flowering perennials in the dry river-wash stone bed. A bubble rock water feature at the head of this horizontal river bed accentuated the landscape lighting. The dry river bed was filled with black and white polished stones symbolizing Yin and Yang. The garden was finished with a high bar style bistro set to allow relaxation and revitalization as spring “bursts forth.” Major suppliers who supported Harmony Gardens Landscaping Inc. in building this “Burst Forth” display garden were Perkins Home Building Centre in North Gower (western red cedar for the backdrop and ramps and PVC pipes for the backdrop and in the bubble rock dry river bed); Permacon in Metcalfe (hardscaping supplies such as Celtik wall stone, Esplanade cap-
ping, Trafalgar pavers and Celtik mega curbing for the garden); Cohebn and Cohen of Nepean (polished white and black decorative stones); KB Backyard Depot.com of Greely (loaned bubble rock and pump and sold aquascape basin
and lighting); Connon NVK, Otter Greenhouses and Sheridan Nurseries and Pioneer Bulbs (all forced plant materials); and Greely Sand & Gravel Inc. of Greely (donated hydro sand and composted pine mulch).
Harmony Gardens Landscaping Inc., a local landscaping company and a Landscape Ontario member, was juried to be part of this Living Landscapes section of the Ottawa Home & Garden Show. See HARMONY GARDENS, page 47

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
March 22nd 2016
Fairwinds West Park Hello residents, I hope everyone enjoyed a safe and happy Easter weekend. This week, the topic of photo radar was brought to City Council for discussion. In the end, Council decided that this motion was best delegated to Transportation Committee for additional review. Since the motion was first brought forward, there have been thoughtful and passionate responses from either side of the table. I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for this. When a topic such as this one is brought forward, every voice plays a role in representing the opinions of communities.
‘Mom to Mom Sale’ coming upon April 16th Special to the News
Are you looking for that special toy or clothing or other item for your youngster? Perhaps you want something for your young grandchild? Well, the upcoming “Mom to Mom Sale” on Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon hosted by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School is the place where you should be. The Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds beside the Richmond arena will be filled with “mom vendors” offering a wide variety of items that will add to a youngster’s fun and enjoyment. And perhaps you are a mom whose young children
With the motion being referred back to committee, it now gives staff and councillors the opportunity to open the dialogue with the public. At the same time this gives staff an opportunity to prepare a report that can review any additional factors brought forward on this matter. I encourage residents to continue to provide my office with their input regarding this item so that I may consider your concerns and suggestion when this comes back to committee on May 4th. Several areas of the motion that still require addressing include the trigger speed for the radar, locations of the machines, and methods that can be used to deter traffic flow moving to quieter side streets.
The proponent has finished phase one and has begun phase two which involves blasting of the rock in order to construct the sewers, watermain, roads, and the storm water management pond. I have been advised that all known components and precautionary measures have been taken in regards to the pre-blast survey which can be found here. I have been advised that the blasting is anticipated to be completed by approximately April 18th with some additional blasting taking place for 4 weeks sometime in May/June. In addition to the blasting, there also will be some hoe ramming of the rock occurring over the next few months that may be interpreted as blasting by residents. I apologize for any frustration on account of noise or shaking. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me at 613-580-2476 or Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca. 6111 and 6141 Hazeldean Road Update Last week, the Planning Committee recommendations for the Potter’s Key were supported by City Council. At Council, a motion was put forward with respect to small adjustments in zoning. This motion will provide for a variety of unit types similar to the Minto houses constructed in the nearby Arcadia subdivision. The reduced front-yard setback will allow for front porches and entrances of homes to be set closer to the street, while maintaining the required parking clearances for garages per the zoning by-law. There will be no loss of front–yard parking or areas required.

“Solid Ground” started to gain interest in these clubs and then in the week of Feb. 6, “Solid Ground” entered the U.S. Billboard Dance Songs Chart at number 49. This was wholly unexpected. Indeed, she attended the Grammy Awards ceremony when her song was at this number 49 position on the U.S. Billboard Dance Songs Chart. At the Grammy Awards, she was interviewed by various entertainment outlets. But her song “Solid Ground” still had more growth to do and this March the song reached number 12 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Songs Chart, quite an accomplishment for a first release by an unsigned artist. Kourtney is also experiencing some success in modeling and acting as well as in her music career. Kourtney was a model at this year’s New York Fashion Week when she walked for a swimsuit
line called “Stand Up” by Lesleigh Bosnanac. In acting, she recently landed a role in a pilot that will be shooting in Los Angeles in April. Kourtney is hoping to continue to experience success in her music, acting and modeling careers. With regard to her music, she wants to release more music and to release what she calls “some really cool music videos.” Her long term goals are to go on tour or to do some show dates. She is extremely thankful to all those who have helped her along the way so far. She thanks Chris Young for all of his very devoted hard work; Elena Goddard for writing great songs; Josh Cohen for making the tracks sound great with his guitar playing; and also her supportive loving family who have backed her up every step of the way on her evolving journey into the world of music, acting and modeling.

Similarly, the side setback is changed to pull the houses closer to the street, providing a better pedestrian environment. No change to rearyards are proposed. As approved at Planning Committee there is the stipulation that only single detached units are to back onto existing detached units in the Echowoods and Jackson Trails subdivisions.
The Richmond Cooperative Nursery School currently runs three programs: a Toddler program that runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.; a Preschool program that runs on Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.; and a new Flex program that provides families with the opportunity to participate in the Preschool program one or two days a week. And you do not have to wait until the fall to begin your Nursery School experience. That’s because the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School has ongoing registration throughout the school year. So, youngsters can join the Nursery School community at any time.

son. The Royals won two games in this Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 Richardson Division championship playoff series against the Blue Wings. In last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, the Blue Wings scored two goals late in the first period to take a 2-0 lead into the second period. After the Royals made it close with a goal just 40 seconds into the second period, the Blue Wings replied with another goal at the 2:08 mark to regain their two goal lead. The second period ended with the Blue Wings leading by a 3-1 score. In the third period, the Blue Wings scored another three goals while the Royals managed only one goal so the Blue Wings won by a 6-2 score, taking the series four games to two. Matt Veaudry and Aaron Hickie scored for the Royals in this game. Aaron Hickie, Jake Oliver, Troy Hass and Etienne Vivash earned assists for the Royals in this game. The Blue Wings directed 39 shots at Royals goalie Connor Ellis in this game while the Royals had 29 shots on the Perth net. The Stittsville Royals had avoided elimination and the end of their season with a 6-3 victory over the Perth Blue Wings at the Perth and District Community Arena last Friday, March 25. Things did not look good for the Royals after the first period as Perth jumped out into a 2-0 lead. But the Royals came back with three goals in the second period to take a 3-2 lead into the third period. The Royals scored three goals again in the third period to end up winning by a 6-3 score.

School Age Program youngsters visit Food Bank John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
They were not only visitors to the Stittsville Food Bank – they also became volunteers! This was what happened when youngsters from the Jackson Trails School Age Program at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville visited the Stittsville Food Bank to learn
what goes on there. They not only learned about how the food items are stored on shelves from which Food Bank clients pick their food items but also they learned about the critical “best before” date which is on the food items. “Check the date before you donate” is the phrase that Food Bank chair Theresa Qadri used when explaining about this best before date and how food items with an expired
“best before” date cannot be used by the Food Bank. The 30 youngsters got to enjoy a snack, after which they were engaged as Food Bank volunteers by moving a huge pile of empty milk crates in which the Food Bank stores food items from the front of the Food Bank premises to the rear of the premises. This is a task that had to be done and the many hands provided for the task by these youngsters
made them valuable volunteers. The Jackson Trails School Age Program youngsters and their teachers and adult supervisors arrived at the Food Bank via OC Transpo bus and they left to go back to their home at St. Stephen Catholic School the same way. At the Food Bank, the youngsters also made a cash donation to the Food Bank from coins which the youngsters donated and collected.

on the Ridge
Last summer the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre undertook a pilot project to see if children would be interested in collecting wild plants for food and medicine. A group of five children aged 6-10, three teens and an adult spent a week out on the Carp Ridge finding plants and then cooking them over a campfire or making safe herbal remedies for home use. It was wildly successful. Months later we heard from parents that their children were still enthusiastically identifying wild plants and remembering their uses. The other feedback we received was that the remedies we made actually worked—especially the one for soothing the itch and swelling of insect bites. This summer we are offering a full month of collecting plants, making food and remedies, identifying wildlife, playing cooperative games, making nature crafts, composing songs and putting on presentations each week for the parents. Days will start and end with calming meditations. The number of children aged 6-12 will be limited to 20 and divided into small groups of five, each with two leaders. Lunches and snacks are included and will be from local and organic ingredients. Younger children may enrol in the preschool nature program that runs at the centre all year round. Go to www.carpridgelearningcentre.ca and click on Ridgewoods for details. If you are interested in registering or applying to work, please contact the EcoWellness Centre at 613-839-1198 or lori@ecowellness.com. Since the program is being sponsored by local charity Carp Ridge Learning Centre, high school students may also apply for community volunteer hours. R0013752700

Players, coaches and parents of the Stittsville Atom B4 Sting and the Stittsville Atom B1 Hawks teams assemble together for a group photograph following the Stittsville versus Stittsville championship final game at a recent tournament in Kingston in which the Stittsville B4 Sting defeated the Stittsville B1 Hawks in overtime.
Stittsville vs Stittsville in Kingston Special to the News
It was Stittsville versus Stittsville in the championship game of a recent tournament in Kingston. Both teams – the Stittsville Atom B4 Sting and the Stittsville Atom B1 Hawks – went undefeated in the tournament to meet in the championship final. And this final was quite a game, going into overtime before a winner was decided. The Stittsville B1 Hawks led 1-0 in the third period before the Stittsville B4 Sting tied the game up to force overtime. Then the Stittsville B4 Sting scored when a slapshot from the defense got through all of the players to a Sting forward in front of the Hawks net who quickly scored the winning goal. It turned out to be a special tournament for these two Stittsville teams as both players and their parents got to experience the excitement of the championship final with their friends and neighbours.

Want to umpire? Special to the News
Would you like to be an umpire, calling “balls” and “strikes” or deciding if a runner on the bases is “safe” or “out”? If you are between the ages of 13 and 20 years old and are looking for a fun way to make some money this spring and summer while enjoying a sporting environment, then you should consider umpiring for the Stittsville Minor Softball Association (SMSA). The SMSA is looking for several new young umpires
of both teams including players and coaches with parents in the background shows how it was a special Stittsville day even though it happened in Kingston. Members of the gold medal winning Stittsville Atom B4 Sting team are Nathan Bond, Hector Kirsch, Brady Rollin, Lucas Vallejos, Jordan O’Neil, Ben Harvey, Brayden Anderson, Jack Whittington, Matteo Sorgini, Ryan Bissonnette, Liam Joseph, Mathieu Labelle, Brayden Salminen, William Puncher, Logan Stewart, Chaz Church, Sam Lessard and Chaz Church-Grant.

for the upcoming softball season. The games are all played on ball diamonds around Stittsville, with the season running from May to June. Most games are played either on week nights at 6:30 p.m. or on weekends. All umpire training and certification will be provided by the SMSA with an umpire clinic to be held on Sunday, April 17 at the Lions Club Hall on Stittsville Main Street. Besides providing training and certification, the SMSA will provide all of the necessary equipment needed to umpire. In addition, midway through the season, the SMSA will offer a free refresher umpiring
course for those who want to improve their skills. Umpires earn between $15 and $20 per game depending on the level of experience and whether they work the game in charge of home plate or the bases. Those interested in attending the upcoming umpire clinic should contact the SMSA right away at executive@ stittsvillesoftball.org. And if you want to play ball rather than umpire, you can still sign up as a player as team sports are still open. You can register as a player at www.stittsvillesoftball.org.

‘Up Close’ exhibition lives up to its name three poppies in bloom standing tall as the painting title suggests. The first owaa gallery wall that is seen on entering the GRC foyer features in this exhibition seven works which not only all reflect the “Up Close” theme of the exhibition but also all of which feature wildlife/ nature in one form or another. Stephanie Robertson’s colour photograph of a heron is not a head and shoulders shot but rather a “beak, head and neck” shot. It is a close up of a bird in nature. Tammy MacAllister’s photograph entitled “Jellyfish” also is a close up. John Edkins’ colour photograph gives a close up glimpse of a fly among lavender petals. Hence the name “Fly on Lavender.” Michael Goguen’s “Aphidwalk” oil painting features a giant aphid with mechanical legs and running shoes moving through an apple orchard. It’s definitely a close up and the aphid depicted certainly could be wildlife, albeit perhaps years in the future.

It’s called “Up Close” and it is living up to its name. A vast majority of the 28 pieces on display in this newest exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville depict macro views of their subjects – everything is very much “up close.” Catherine Gutsche’s acrylic painting entitled “Spring! Where Have you Been” is a large painting that features three appropriately large orange petals stretching horizontally across the painting. It’s as “up close” as you could get. Louise Barker’s oil painting “Hibiscus” provides an up-close view of a floral bloom. Trudy Daley’s acrylic called “Plumeria” shows white flower blooms of the plumeria flowering plant, set JOHN CURRY/METROLAND against a blue sky. It too provides a Vera van Baaren, left, and Michael Goguen, right, on the ladder, hang Catherine Gutsche’s acrylic painting close-up view of the blooms. Josie Walsh’s mixed media work “Spring! Where Have You Been?” which is one of the 28 works now on display in the exhibition ‘Up Close” at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer area of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on called “Standing Tall” is not only a tall painting itself but it depicts Shea Road in Stittsville. The exhibition will be in place until Friday, May 13.

Patrick Bourke’s colour photograph “Dragonfly” is a close-up shot of a flying insect on a post. Roseanne Facchin’s “Follow Me” acrylic painting shows two ducklings swimming together, creating some interesting ripples in the water. And completing this “wildlife” section of the owaa gallery is a colour photograph by Sylvie Sabourin entitled “Away” which shows a bird in flight with its wings spread out. Sylvie Sabourin also has another colour photograph in this “Up Close” exhibition which shows a white snowy owl in flight. It’s called “Full Flight.” Stephanie Robertson also has another photograph in the exhibition, another one featuring an up-close shot of wildlife in nature. Called “The Dragonfly,” this photograph shows a dragonfly loitering on some orange vegetation. Also in the exhibition is Bev Lafortune’s up-close black and white photograph entitled “First Bloom” which shows
a rose with water drops on a petal. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s water colour pencil work called “Beaver Pond” shows three ducks in a pond with the shoreline and trees in the background. The ducks are not particularly up close but it certainly is a wildlife scene. But meriting the up-close label without a doubt are two small works, one by Vera van Baaren and another by Louise Barker. Vera’s “Lady in Red” is a facial portrait done with acrylics while Louise’s oil painting is an up-close view of a puppy’s face. John Edkin’s small photo called “Butterfly” shows a butterfly in flight, again from an “up close” perspective. Other interesting works in the exhibition include Glenn Bloodworth’s black and white photograph of the shuttered mess hall building at the former CFS Foymount near Golden Lake. Kat McClure’s “Lady in Red,” a large mixed media work, shows a woman wearing a full length red gown looking
the other way while surrounded by a flowing outline. Vera van Baaren’s acrylic “Jacquie” is a portrait of a lady in a blue outfit. It is a larger painting than Vera’s “Lady in Red” portrait that is also in the exhibition. Vera has started doing portraits, saying that it is fun. However, it does involve some challenges in capturing the facial form. Aud Karin Sund’s acrylic entitled “Mrs. X” is another close-up portrait of a woman, with her red lips most prominent. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s mixed media work “Mirage” is intriguing while Charles Rogers’ watercolour “Eventide” shows a rock outcropping, an island with trees and water – a painting in the Group of Seven tradition. Trudy Daley’s acrylic painting “Sea Life” shows shorebirds on a beach with waves coming into shore in the background. Charles Roger’s photograph “Over The Waves” shows waves rolling into a shoreline in the foreground.
Roseanne Facchin’s small acrylic painting “Morrow Lake” shows a lake in the foreground with trees and shoreline in the background. This exhibition “Up Close” will be on display at the owaa gallery at the GRC in Stittsville until Friday, May 13. The exhibition can be viewed whenever the GRC is open. Those viewing the exhibition are urged to participate in the People’s Choice balloting for the exhibition. Ballots and the ballot box are found on top of the glass display case in which some of the paintings of the exhibition are displayed. In the People’s Choice balloting, viewers simply indicate their favourite work in the exhibition. These ballots are tallied up at the end of the exhibition’s run. The artists involved always look forward with great anticipation to the results of the People’s Choice balloting as they have great respect for the view of the people as expressed in this People’s Choice balloting.

Two artists tied for first in the People’s Choice balloting for the “Sparkle” exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. This exhibition finished its two-month run at the owaa gallery on Friday, March 11. Tying for first place in the People’s Choice balloting for the “Sparkle” exhibition were Kat McClure for her “Beneath the Surface” acrylic painting and Roseanne Facchin for her work entitled “Winter Jay.” Kat’s “Beneath the Surface” painting captured the size of an iceberg, showing what’s beneath the surface as well as the small portion on the surface. Its predominant blue colour reminds the viewer that ice is cold. Roseanne Facchin’s “Winter Jay” provides a close up view of a blue jay sitting on a branch. In second place in the People’s Choice balloting for the “Sparkle” exhibition was Vera van Baaren’s “Anticipating Spring” acrylic painting. This work depicts a giant sun shining down on a snowy scene which is starting to melt. Third place in the People’s Choice balloting for this “Sparkle” exhibition went to Michael Goguen’s “First Beach, Port Hood” oil painting which features waves cascading in on a beach with the sun going down in the distant sky. Those who do view this new exhibition should fill out a “People’s Choice” ballot which are available on the top of the large glass display case which holds some of the works on display in the exhibition. This “People’s Choice” balloting allows viewers to indicate a favourite work in the exhibition.

MARY COOK Memories The snow had all but gone from the fields, and our long lane was down to mud ruts showing the many trips to the Northcote side road by the sleigh and cutter over the winter. When we walked the lane on the way to school, we arrived with our gum rubbers covered with mud, and Miss Crosby made us leave them out on the step until they dried off, and at recess, the mud was scraped away with a twig from the big maple tree in the yard. The days still had a bite in the air, and until it really warmed up, you couldn’t smell spring. I loved the smell of spring, which my sister Audrey insisted smelled like any other time of the year. It was this time now, that Mother seemed to build up an energy, and it was like she was waiting for something important to happen. Winter wasn’t her favourite time of the year, when the snow piled up around us, locking us into months of ice and cold that seemed to go on forever. And so with the first sign that winter was coming to an end, Mother had a restlessness
Dan River cotton had the power to change mother’s mood to joy about her, as if she couldn’t wait to see the first robin, or get her little boxes of vegetable seeds planted, or get into the spring housecleaning. That Saturday, there wasn’t enough snow to take the cutter into Renfrew, and so Father hitched up the buggy, and Mother set off early to peddle her eggs, butter, a few chickens, and of course her sticky buns. Audrey and I were left to do our chores and put dinner on the table when Father and the three brothers came in at noon hour. It was mid-afternoon before we saw Mother coming down the lane, with Nellie at an even trot. Stopping at the back door, and with what I thought was a real spring to her step, Mother brought in the supplies she had bought with the money realized from her sales in Renfrew. And there was a bag, which I recognized immediately having come from Walker’s Store. I was curious beyond measure to know what was in the bag, but of course, Audrey and I were ordered to unpack the tea, the sugar and the other few staples bought to
replenish what was in the back-to-the-wall cupboard. The Walker Store bag sat on the kitchen table. Mother pulled the kettle to the front of the stove and when it started to steam, she made herself a cup of tea and sat down placing her hand on the mysterious bag. I was sure she was wearing what would pass for a smile. Finally, when I thought I would have to grab the Walker’s Store bag and rip into it myself, Mother opened it up, and there was a folded piece of Dan River cotton … checks in pinks, mauve and the palest blue. I could smell its newness all the way from the other end of the table. How I loved the smell of new material! I wondered what plans Mother had for it. New blouses for Audrey and me? A house dress for herself ? She had just made fresh flower bag curtains for the kitchen, so the new Dan River material wasn’t for that. And it was much too pretty for just plain aprons. “Nineteen cents a yard ... a bit pricey I thought. But well worth it,” Mother said,
still rubbing her hands back and forth over the material. I finally asked her what purpose she had in mind for it. “Don’t really know,” she said, looking out the window into the grape arbour. She said nothing for the longest time. “I don’t think there is anything quite like a new piece of Dan River cotton this time of year. It sort of puts an end to the winter, I think.” It amazed me how just spending less than a dollar on a piece of material could change my mother from a feeling of restlessness to such a feeling of sheer joy. All over a simple piece of Dan River Cotton print. It wasn›t the first time a new piece of material changed Mother›s mood ... nor would it be the last.

And this year Lois ‘n Frima’s Ice Cream is entering its fourth year selling ice cream at its location on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. And this year as well Lois ‘n Frima’s Ice Cream is going to be selling its ice cream at the home games of the Ottawa Champions baseball team at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton Park in Ottawa.
Lois ‘n Frima’s Ice Cream will have a permanent vendor stand at the ball park for all of the team’s home games including playoffs.

Sacred Heart students in Math Olympics John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Eight students – five from grade eight and three from grade seven - from Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville participated in a recent Math Olympics competition involving students from other schools. The Sacred Heart students competed as two teams of four in the event. All of them are members of the Math Club at Sacred Heart. The Math Olympics involved solving problems
in three categories: multiple choice, math puzzles and word problems. There were time limits set for each category. Declan McCloskey and Annabelle Many, two grade eight students who participated in these Math Olympics, both admitted that it was a lot of fun to take part. Working as a team was essential to success in the competition. Annabelle admits that while some of the questions in the Math Olympics were easy, others were really
hard. Students could use a calculator and an eraser in the competition. Declan McCloskey enjoys problem solving while Annabelle really likes math, saying that there are so many things that a person can learn from math. John Wolf, another of the Sacred Heart students who took part in the Math Olympics, says that he thinks that he would like to be an engineer or entrepreneur in the future. Declan McCloskey is leaning towards being a geologist or an historian.

The Ancient Greeks and also the Ancient Romans both had pancake-like foods. And pancakes today can be found around the world, albeit sometimes with different shapes and structures. But whatever the case, pancakes are universally a popular food and you will be able to enjoy them at this upcoming annual pancake breakfast at the Dining Hall outfitters.

The Stittsville Royals capped off a comeback against the Westport Rideaus to win the seventh and deciding game of their Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 playoff series on Sunday, March 13 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. The Royals had fallen behind three games to one in the series after losing the fourth game of the series 4-2 in Westport on Tuesday, March 8. But then the Royals roared back with three straight victories, culminating in the 6-1 victory in the seventh and deciding game of the series on Sunday,March 13. And the Royals won this deciding game despite the absence of their head coach, Shawn Couturier who was at the hospital where his wife was giving birth to their first child. In this deciding game last Sunday, the Royals pulled ahead 3-1 in the second period after a scoreless first period. The Royals then added another three goals in the third period to win the game 6-1. Despite winning the game, the Royals were outshot, with Westport taking 43 shots on Royals’ goalie Connor Ellis while the Royals managed 31 shots on the Westport goal.

Single assists were earned by Colin Baggio, Matt Veaudry, James Redmond, Neil Penner, Aaron Hickie, Dawson Maisonneauve, Ryan Cullen and Jordan Currie.

Stittsville led 2-1 after the first period of this game and held a 5-3 advantage after two periods of play. Both teams scored one goal in the
third period to make the final score 6-4 in favour of the Royals. Troy Hass had a big game for the Royals, scoring four goals. Other goal scorers for Stittsville were Nathan Hans and Colin Baggio.

Sacred Heart students in carboard boat challenge John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Sacred Heart High School students who took part in recent cardboard boat challenge can perhaps identify now with Canadian writer Farley Mowatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1969 classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Boat Who Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Float.â&#x20AC;? The Mowat book is about a 31 foot schooner â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Happy Adventureâ&#x20AC;? which was in a frequent state of either sinking (eight times), running aground or not responding to the controls. The book won the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour. And the Sacred Heart students certainly experienced sinkings as well as their cardboard boats sank at the multi-school event which was held at the Nepean Sportsplex pool.
One of the two Sacred Heart teams of four which participated in the cardboard boat challenge even made cardboard paddles to provide more paddle power but as team member and grade eight student John Wolf reports, the paddles did not work well. Like all teams in the competition, the Sacred Heart teams had two hours to build their boats. They were given a roll of duct tape, a tube of glue and a sheet of cardboard to build the boats. In the competition, the boats were tested both for speed getting across the pool as well as for their weight-bearing capacity. Most of the cardboard boats in the competition sank. One of the Sacred Heart boats was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;The S.S. Toastâ&#x20AC;? and it sank, name on the side of the boat included.
John Wolf, one of the Sacred Heart students involved in this cardboard boat challenge, observed that a smaller boat, better reinforced, would be a better design in the future. He also said that more duct tape would have been useful. Grade seven student Robert Forward noted that the walls of the boat with which he was involved were too high so that those in the boat could not reach out and paddle with their hands.
Grade eight student Julia Hatfield, one of those involved with this cardboard boat challenge, admitted that the team just made â&#x20AC;&#x153;too many mistakesâ&#x20AC;? in the competition. The students involved in this cardboard boat challenge were members of the grade seven and eight Skills Club at Sacred Heart. This is a student club which undertakes construction challenges including building with wood, making elastic powered vehicles and making catapults.
Here comes the Upper Jock River Race John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Spring must be here as the 2016 Upper Jock River Paddling Race is happening in less than two weeksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race has been scheduled for Saturday, April 9, with a 12 noon start from the starting line at the Munster Sideroad and the Jock River. New this year is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best Costumeâ&#x20AC;? category in which participants are being urged to wear an outrageous costume as they paddle down the 12.5 kilometer course
on the Jock River from the Munster Sideroad to the Jock River Park in Richmond. Registration can be done now on the race website at http://jockriverrace.ca/signup/. Online registration from April 1 to April 8 is $20 for one paddler, $30 for two paddlers and $35 for three or more paddlers. On-site registration on the day of the race will be $30 for one paddler, $45 for two paddlers and $45 for three or more paddlers. The registration costs do
not include a $5 per paddler fee which may be collected for insurance purposes. The 12.5 kilometer (7.8 mile) route on the Jock River starts off with a shallow rapid a few minutes downstream from the start line. This is followed by a chute of fast water. It is then a few kilometers before several sharp bends signal the beginning of the Richmond Fen where participants could run into log jams. The appearance of a railway track on the south side of the river marks the end of the Richmond Fen.

You can learn about the former Royal Ottawa Sanatorium on Carling Avenue in Ottawa at the upcoming meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. That’s because this meeting on Saturday, April 16 at 1:30 p.m. in the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street will feature a presentation by local author Anne Raina whose book “Clara’s Rib” tells the story of her sister Clara’s time at the Royal Ottawa Sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) in the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s. Anne and Clara’s father as well as six of their siblings also spent years at the San, with their father and two brothers dying of the disease. In her presentation at the Historical Society meeting, Anne will tell Clara’s story, fo-
cusing on her years growing up in the San. She will also explain why, when Clara left the San for the last time, one of her own ribs was packed in her suitcase. It was back in Feb. 1910 when the first tuberculosis patient was admitted to what was then the Lady Grey Hospital but also became known as “the San.” Over the next 60 years, this hospital admitted 11,000 tuberculosis patients from across Eastern Ontario, with the patients ranging in age from infants to seniors. In 1969, the hospital became the Royal Ottawa Hospital and its tuberculosis ward was closed in 1970. Indeed, a few years earlier, in 1961, the hospital had changed its focus, becoming a hospital for the care and treatment of those with emotional and psychiatric disorders. It later added care for those with physical disabilities and also added later care
for those with traumatic brain injuries. The hospital is now the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre specializing in the treatment of patients with mental health issues. Besides her book “Clara’s Rib,” Anne Raina has also recently written two children’s books which have a Goulbourn connection in that the illustrator for the books was Julia
Taylor of Munster. Anne will have copies of all three of her books for sale with her at this upcoming Historical Society meeting. She will be happy to sign them for purchasers. Refreshments will be served following Anne’s presentation at this Historical Society meeting. Everyone is welcome to attend this Historical Society meeting.
