Marc Monette, new owner of the Main Street Café in Stittsville, stands in the diner’s kitchen where he is now spending his days, preparing the food for patrons at the busy restaurant.

EMC news - The “Cheers” of Stittsville has a new “Sam.” As of Nov. 23, Marc Monette, a Stittsville resident, took over operation of the Main Street Café, assuming ownership from Zak Zakaria who had run the diner at the Ultramar Gas Bar plaza on Stittsville Main Street for 12 years. Indeed, when talking about the Main Street Café, the new owner/operator compares it to Cheers, that neighbourhood bar in the long-running television series of the same name “where everybody knows your name” and presided over by Sam “Mayday” Malone, a role played by Ted Danson. Mr. Monette says that the Main Street Café is a community based, traditional type diner that has no “bells and whistles” but is a busy spot with lots of local patrons and is a place where everybody knows everybody and people say hi to each other. He himself fell in love with the diner after he had moved to Stittsville four years ago and went to eat at the Main Street Café. He says that the first time that he walked into the place, he knew that he someday wanted to own it because of its eclectic feel and atmosphere. And now this has become reality. A former project manager with Lee Valley, Mr. Monette admits to always having been what he terms “a huge foodie.” His says that his lifetime dream has

been to own a place of his own. And now he does. He says that there will be no drastic changes made at Main Street Café with the change of ownership. The menu is staying as is. He may implement a few of his own ideas and recipes in the future but right now changes have been limited to having a few new daily specials and having more desserts available. He and his wife Heather, who works at the Main Street Café on weekends, make the desserts themselves. One of the changes on which he is now working is to cover the wall beside the booths with an array of photographs of local scenes and landmarks. Mr. Monette says that a lot of customers have asked about the Main Street Café opening for dinner. This will not be happening anytime soon, although he may think about it in the spring. Right now, his priority is to try to hire another cook. Badih Zakaria has stayed on and is working alongside Mr. Monette but another cook is needed so that Mr. Monette does not have to work all seven days of the week but could have a day off. He says that it does not bother him to work such a schedule as he did it for years in previous employment but having a day off each week would make things ideal. Right now, his days begin when he arrives at the Main Street Café at 5:15 a.m. to get ready for 6 a.m. opening and he is there till closing which during the week is at 3 p.m. On Saturdays, the restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. while on Sundays, its hours are 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

EMC news - An Ottawa radio legend will be in Stittsville this Monday, Jan. 14. Ken “The General” Grant, who was a morning voice on radio in Ottawa for four decades, including 32 years with radio station CFRA, will be at the Community Bible Church on Stittsville Main Street where he will be making a presentation at the “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” event happening from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 14. Ken “The General” Grant’s presentation will be on Alzheimer’s disease. All seniors in the Stittsville community are welcome to attend this Jan. 14th “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” to hear Ken Grant’s presentation. In addition, there will be, as usual at these monthly “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” sessions, coffee and home baked sweets served. Ken “The General” Grant joined CFRA radio in Ottawa in June, 1961, coming from Montreal to join the station as its morning man. He was to remain in this position for the next 32 years. Indeed, in 1986, “Ken ‘The General’ Grant Day” was declared in Ottawa to celebrate his 25 years as CFRA’s morning man. In 1993, when CFRA adopted a new and talk format, Ken Grant retired but he then returned as a radio voice at Oldies 1310 where he was until 2001. Alzheimer’s disease, about which Ken Grant will talk at the “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” on Monday, Jan. 14, is the most common form of dementia. The disease worsens as it progresses and there is no known cure. In 2006, there were over 26 million sufferers from Alzheimer’s worldwide with the numbers predicted to grow, affecting an estimated one in every 85 people by the year 2050. In its early stages, the most common symptom of Alzheimer’s disease is difficulty in remembering recent events. As the disease advances, symptoms can include confusion, irritability, aggression, mood swings, trouble with language and long-term memory loss. The disease, though, is different for each individual. Current treatments only help with the symptoms of the disease. There are no available treatments that stop or reverse the progression of the disease, although there are numerous clinical trails that have been conducted or are being conducted to find ways to treat the disease.

Sacred Heart student makes a difference John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - She wanted to stop bullying like her younger brother was experiencing. So, she did something about it. She made a difference. Lexi Clement, a student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, started a campaign “Be The Change” at the school to raise awareness about bullying. Last year the group held an assembly after creating an organizing group. It was named “Be The Change,” a phrase which seemed to fit well with what

the group’s objective is. The club has continued this year with , for example, activities during the recent Bullying Awareness Week such as promoting a “Wear Blue Friday” on which students were encouraged to wear blue. There were also poster, essay and video contests. All in all, it was a successful initiative, with lots of participation, particularly among the grade seven and eight students at the school. Lexi, who is 15 and in grade ten this year, is hopeful that the “Be The Change” club will hold another assem-

bly about bullying this school year. Lexi is hoping that the “Be The Change” initiative has made an impact. She knows that her younger brother, who provided the inspiration for her wanting to make a difference, is happy with what she has done to try to combat bullying. But helping others and trying to make a difference is nothing new for Lexi. She has volunteered at the summer camp operated by Stittsville’s Main Street Community Services, working with special needs youth.

She also volunteers once a week in working with youth on the autism spectrum, mentoring them on how to cope in various social situations. This might involve, for example, going to the Bayshore Shopping Centre or going bowling or going to a restaurant. She is passionate about working with these teenagers, something that she has been doing for about the past year and a half. Lexi works as a hostess at East Side Mario’s on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. She has worked there for almost a year now, working three or four times a week. The job entails escorting customers to their seats as well as cleaning the tables and doing other duties. “I like socializing so I think it’s a perfect job for me,” she says, adding that she likes working there and loves her co-workers. Lexi likes to downhill ski with her friends, something that she has been doing since she was ten years old. She says that the wind blowing in their hair as she goes down the hill gives a nice feeling. She says that she is going to try snowboarding this year. She tried it once two years ago

Lexi Clement but this year she is determined to stick with it. Lexi is maintaining an 84 percent average in school, although she admits that it takes a lot of work. “I like to do well in school,” she says. She particularly likes math since it has just one correct answer. She also likes English class. Although she likes to read when she finds the time,

she really likes to write, particularly about what’s on her mind. She thinks that she would like to be a criminal psychologist later in life or at least work at something involving criminology or psychology. And there’s one university that tops in her mind – Queens in Kingston. “It’s my dream school,” she says, adding that Queen’s not only has a good psychology program but that she just loves the school and it has a good reputation. At home there is a nine year old golden retriever dog Belle which the family has had since she was a pup as well as six year old Tinker, a cat. Lexi is hoping to add a bunny to this pet pair, not only because she likes bunnies but also because the bunny may be more active that Tinker whom she says just lounges around all the time. Lexi admits that she loves clothes. She likes to wear them and shop for them but, as she points out, not pay for them. She likes to keep abreast of the latest styles although she admits that she has no desire to design clothes, just wear them.

Fun-filled euchre

EMC news - It was a cold, crisp night outside but a warm, fun-filled night inside at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday, Jan. 3. That’s because the first Thursday evening euchre party of the season was happening at the Lions Hall, with six tables in play. And when all the cards had been played and all of the friendly table banter was over, it was Joe Borsa who emerged in first place for the evening. Second place was a tie between Dawnean Borsa and Peggy Manion.

Janet Barker had the hidden score while Margaret Hobbs took home the booby prize. Jackie Ralph did not leave empty handed as she won the door prize. Yogi Schiffer won the first 50/50 draw of the evening while Beth Lewis won the second 50/50 draw. These euchre parties hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club will now continue on every Thursday evening at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street until April. The doors open at 7 p.m. every Thursday, with the euchre action getting underway at 7:30 p.m. There’s always a snack afterwards, so it makes for a great fun evening. Everyone is welcome to attend.

Fibre artist Frances Taylor stands beside one of her pieces of fibre art which are now on display at the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The exhibition is on display until the end of January.

Fibre art on display John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s 13 of them. There’s Alien Shore, Water Lilies, Alvar, Yukon, Jack Pine, Wisteria Fantasy, Smaug, Queen Titania’s Bower, Fantasy at Midnight and more. Of various sizes, they are fibre art pieces done by Frances Taylor of Stittsville and they are now on display on the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. They will be there until the end of January. And the associated glass display case has more examples of Ms. Taylor’s work which includes not only her fibre art but also silk dyeing and other “wearable art� craft items made by this versatile and talented artist. Her fibre art work on display on the Art Space Wall ranges not only in size but also in subject matter. There’s her previously displayed “Smaug,� inspired by the book “The Hobbit� by J.R.R. Tolkien. And to look at her “Jack Pine� work with its solitary, iconic pine tree, you immediately think of the style of Canada’s famous Group of Seven. And it certainly looks related to Tom Thomson’s famous “The Jack Pine.� If not a brother, then perhaps a cousin or a distant relative. Making Ms. Taylor’s “Jack Pine� even closer in style and appearance to Tom Thomson’s “The Jack Pine� is how the sky is done, although Tom Thomson did his with paints and Ms. Taylor did hers with fibre. But the style is the same and indeed, Ms. Taylor admits that she patterned how she created her sky after the painting technique that Tom Thomson used for his “The Jack Pine.� This fibre art exhibit also includes a couple of pieces featuring alvar scenes and, indeed, Ms. Taylor has even provided information on alvar landscapes for those viewing the exhibit. Besides providing an explanation of what an alvar is, she has provided at the exhibit a binder with some photographs of the Smiths Falls Plain (alvar) on which the art is based. Alvars are unique open prairie-like areas R0011294477

which are characterized by shallow to nonexistent soil on a limestone base. This means that any trees and bushes are either absent or severely stunted in growth. Alvars comprise a distinctive group of lichens, mosses and grasses which dry summer conditions make extremely fragile. Besides the Smiths Falls Plain, which includes land bordering on the Rideau waterway between the Poonamalie Lock and Rideau Ferry, another local alvar is the so-called Burnt Lands near Almonte. Ms. Taylor, who has a degree in biology, is able to link her passion for science and ecology with her art through portraying alvar scenes in her artwork. She also shows her dedication to the ecology by using recycled materials in her fibre art when possible. For instance, she at times uses a recycled tie or other recycled material in the art. She has made an arrangement with an interior decorator that sees her pick up fabric sample books at her shop when the fabrics in the books are discontinued. Many of these samples are 100 percent silk, ideal of use in fibre art. This not only avoids the sample books going to the landfill but also gives them a useful purpose. Ms. Taylor frequently hand-dyes her materials – silks, mohair and other fires. She usually embellishes her work with hand-embroidery and sometimes with semi-previous stones to achieve rich-looking textures. Besides her fibre art, Ms. Taylor has established herself as a milliner and plumassiere (ornamental feather work), producing wearable art that sells at various locations in Ottawa and the area. She also does free-form crochet, producing wearable and functional art pieces. Ms. Taylor, now retired from the federal government, also teachers her various art processes in her Stittsville studio. Anyone interested in a private lesson or in a group workshop should call her at 613-836-3988.

Jazz at Gaia Java shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Jazz music filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening, Jan. 4. It came from the talented instruments of the youthful Patrick Smith Trio, a group of young Ottawa musicians who were making their second appearance at the Friday Music Night at the Gaia Java shop, having first performed early last November. Harmony and improvisation reigned during their performance, with each member of the trio taking the lead at times. One time it would be Patrick Smith himself on the saxophone. He might be followed by the guitar offerings of Rob Wanell or Ben Heard leading with the deep sounds of his bass. The Patrick Smith Trio point to the “Hot Club de France” in the 1930’s Parisien coffee bars, promoting jazz, and the music of American pianist Herbie Hancock, with its funk and soul elements meshed with jazz, as influences on their style. Patrick Smith, who plays the saxophone in this trio, is a grade 12 student at Bell High School who is planning to pursue a university education in jazz performance next year. He currently plays in various groups around Ottawa including the Nepean All City

Jazz Band and the Capital Youth Jazz Orchestra. Rob Wanell, the guitarist in the trio, is a grade 11 student at Nepean High School. He is involved with several local jazz groups and plans to pursue a music degree in university. Ben Heard, the bassist, is a grade 10 student at Canterbury High School. He plays with a number of musical groups around Ottawa including the Nepean All City Jazz Band. The Friday Music Night at the Gaia Java shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville is staying with a youth focus this coming Friday, Jan. 11 when high school music teacher Neil Bateman, who has performed himself at the Gaia Java shop, will be presenting several of music students who will be performing. Future Friday Music Night performers will include a string quartet that plays both classical and flamenco music and a double bill featuring a barbershop group and a vocal jazz quartet. The Friday Music Nights at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop start at 7 p.m. and are free to attend. However, a word of warning – the best seats go quickly, so an early arrival is recommended.

New face on keyboard for Jubilee Singers

Special to the News

EMC news - The new year is bringing a new face to the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. After five years as the accompanist for the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its junior choir, the JJ’s, Doll Creelman is leaving the position. She has been accepted as a lay minister for the United Church of Canada and will be taking up her studies for this.

EMC news - Charlie Keenan of Stittsville has been acknowledged as one of the top bantam graduating players in the National Capital Amateur Football Association (NCAFA). The seven year veteran with the Bell Warriors Football Club has been awarded one of two $500 bursaries awarded by the NCAFA to honour outstanding bantam-level graduating players. Each of the 15 Clubs in the NCAFA, which is the largest amateur tackle football association in Canada, can nominate a player for one of these bursaries if the club fields a bantam team. Criteria for the bursaries include high academic standing (over 75 percent), a significant level of on-field performance, playing for a number of seasons with the Club and making an important contribution to the team. The bursaries are to help the players with post-secondary education expenses in the future. Charlie Keenan was captain of the Bell Warriors bantams this past season. He also played for the Myers Riders of the Ontario Junior Varsity Football League in 2012. In 2011, Charlie played with the Bell Warriors bantams as well as with the South Carleton High School Storm’s varsity football team. In 2010, Charlie was the team captain and most valuable player for the Bell Warriors pee wees, as well as being chosen as the most valuable player in the Gilchrist Conference Finalist “A” Cup game. He also was a NCAFA pee wee all star that season. In 2009, Charlie was chosen as the best offensive back for the Bell Warriors pee wees.

who have exemplified the Warriors’ values of being selfless, competitive, responsible, respectful, resourceful, athletic, intelligent and leaders by example as well as Charlie Keenan has over his years with the Warriors. “It has been amazing to see Charlie mature and develop over the years and it has been nothing short of thrilling to watch him excel as a true leader game after game and year after year,” Mr. Stewart wrote in the nomination letter. This past season of 2012, Charlie Keenan was one of the Warriors players to play in the NCAFA Bantam All-Star Game where he was named the game’s offensive most valuable player. The NCAFA, which has been involved with minor tackle football in the Ottawa area since 1955, covers 15 minor football clubs like the Bell Warriors Football Club with over 5,000 players in total, making it the largest amateur tackle football association in Canada. Member Clubs field teams ranging from tyke to midget, covering ages 8 to 19. Charlie Keenan is only the second Warrior to receive a NCAFA bantam graduating player bursary since the bursary program was inaugurated in 1998. Geoff Ogilvie of the Warriors received the bursary in 2005. The Bell Warriors Football Club fields minor football teams at the tyke, mosquito, pee wee and bantam level. The Bell Warriors play their home games at the Bell High School field at Bells Corners. The Bell Warriors draw their players from an area which includes the Bayshore and Bells Corners areas as well as all of Goulbourn including Richmond, Munster and Stittsville.

Another year is upon us and I’d like to wish everyone in Rideau-Goulbourn a Happy New Year. I am looking forward to a very positive, productive 2013 and I’d like to share some of the things we’ll be working on together this year. The Ottawa on the Move program, which saw the 2012 resurfacing of Donnelly Drive/Fourth Line Road, as well as the portion of Dwyer Hill Road between Franktown Road and Bleeks Road, will have a large impact on the Goulbourn portion of the ward this year. In Richmond, Ottawa Street will be resurfaced from McBean Street to Eagleson while at the same time; King Street will be resurfaced from Ottawa Street to the river. If there are any concerns you’d like to see addressed during this project, please let me know. In Ashton, Ormrod Road and Ashton Station Road will be resurfaced through the village as will Flewellyn Road, from Ashton Station Road to Munster Road. In the former West Carleton portion of Rideau-Goulbourn, Rothbourne Road will be resurfaced as well. Mansfield Road, from Munster Road to Conley Road is on the schedule for 2014. The planning process for the western development lands in Richmond will move forward with a community meeting on February 13th. This will be the first opportunity for the village to speak with the developer and have a look at the plans. Another project that enters into a planning and design phase will be the Highway 7 Service Road that will connect Country Club Village to Jinkinson Road to the east. I look forward to working with the community on both of these projects and making sure the needs of the communities are met. We’ll also hopefully see some additions to the Richmond Marketplace in 2013, as well as the grand opening of the new Hyde Park apartment building. I also hope to focus on the Richmond Plaza and see how we can make this once vibrant centre something to be admired once again. From a City-wide perspective, there will be major projects throughout the City including the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park as well as the commencement of LRT construction. Ottawa on the Move will invest money in road projects across Ottawa including portions of Sussex Drive, Baseline Road, Fallowfield Road, Woodroffe Avenue and Meadowlands Drive, among others. Greenbank Road will be widened to four lanes in Barrhaven between Malvern and Strandherd Drive. On the fun side of things, Ottawa will be hosting the 2013 Women’s World Hockey Championships this April at the Scotiabank Place and planning will continue for the 2017 celebrations of Canada’s 150th. I hope everyone has a fantastic 2013 and I look forward to working with you again this year.

Presto should disappear if system fails again

T

he Presto payment system for the city’s buses and future light rail hasn’t travelled a smooth road. The tap-and-go payment cards look nifty and plenty of riders would like to give them a try, but they’re not quite ready for prime time, or rush hour for that matter. Between Jan. 18 and Feb. 1, the city will hand out 10,000 free Presto cards. Then on Feb. 1, the final

test will begin. If the cards work as designed, you can expect to see Presto cards all over town within months. Part of the reason some riders are looking forward to the cards is their advantage over the current monthly paper passes. Once Presto is up and running, riders will be able to share cards; something that’s not allowed under the current system. That means a parent can potentially come home

from work and hand the Presto card off to a child or other adult to use during the evening. Sounds good, but we need the Presto system to work before that comes true. Presto cards are expected to deliver another advantage. They will make paper passes and eventually tickets obsolete at some point in the future, saving the cost of making, counting and then trashing the paper ones now in use.

City council decided Presto was the right package for Ottawa. Councillors voted to go with the system in part because it has been tested in the real world by Toronto’s transit system. But then things went wrong. The city accepted that Ottawa should have a Presto system that ran on a new, untested software package and new display screens for drivers. The software failed and

now, as we approach a rescheduled launch, OC Transpo’s drivers must undergo retraining because of the new interface screens. While it sounds fair that Metrolinx – Presto’s parent – is paying for the retraining, every taxpayer should keep in mind that our provincial taxes help cover the cost of the duplicate training sessions provided by Metrolinx. If this final test of Presto fails, the city can walk away

from the contract as late as April. Of course that still means the city will have to start from scratch. The mess has raised some big questions: why didn’t we buy an off-the-shelf system with hardware and software that had already been proven elsewhere and why is Ottawa stuck as the guinea pig for the new software? As every transit user knows, they key to a good system is running on time.

COLUMN

Our unique relationship with winter CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

J

ust after Christmas there was a great big snow. Other places got more of it than we did, but we got enough. The Queensway was mushy and slow, on-ramps were slippery, arterial roads were tricky and residential streets were mostly unplowed. The day after that snow, I was driving out of town. The side streets were fine. The Queensway was in beautiful shape. So was Highway 7, and it wasn’t as if any of the snow had melted. No, it had just been pushed aside and taken away. “Well, of course,� I hear you say. “We know how to deal with snow.� It’s something we always hear ourselves saying, often to friends in the U.S. who have lived through snowstorms that have crippled transportation and deprived thousands of power. We know how to deal with snow, we say smugly. We also love to say it to our cousins in Toronto after they have had a difficult time with the weather. We don’t have to call out the army to clear the streets. But what was apparent the day after that big snow on the dry and clear 417 is that it’s not we who know how to deal with snow. It’s the people who work for us, who drive that noisy, clunky equipment all day and through the middle of the night and into next day. They know how to deal with snow. And, unlike people in many other walks of life, they don’t just do it when they feel like it. They do it when it’s needed and don’t stop until it’s done. The same goes for the private guys who clear the laneways, parking lots and

driveways of the city. There are more and more of those, as annual warnings about the risks of shovelling are read by wary (certainly not lazy!) males of a certain age. It’s a miracle what they all do. One day you think you’ll never be able to get where you want to get and the next day you forget that you even thought about it. You rarely hear those who live in Ottawa complain about the snowplows. Not for long, anyway. Deal with snow? We as individuals might play our little part. We get our cars out of the way, sometimes doing a little dance with the snowplows. We put snow tires on our cars so that we don’t get stranded and add to everyone else’s difficulties. We stay home when urged to, take public transit when it makes more sense. But it’s not we who get the snow off the streets and roads. The people who do that not only perform a great service; they also enable our bragging about how we know how to deal with snow. It’s a neat trick to convince ourselves we are hardy northern survivor types at the same time as we spend most of our time indoors and warm while others do the heavy lifting. That’s what Canadians do every winter and the accumulation of bragging rights adds to our national pride. So it’s best not to question it too much. We do, in fact, go outside from time to time. We bundle up. We freeze in the car until it warms up. We wait in the cold for the bus. In colder parts of the country we even plug the car in overnight. And when we get where we are going, when we get back indoors, we are exhilarated by how cold it was and how we survived and we can’t stop talking about it. Not everyone on Earth gets to do this. For example, people who live in warm weather climes, such as southern California, can’t, although they occasionally get to brag about brush fires and earthquakes, thus avoiding the accusation that they are total weather wimps. I wonder if they say “we know how to deal with earthquakes�?

Lions Club holding information open house Special to the News

EMC news - You’ve read about the Stittsville District Lions Club and its work in the community, whether it is collecting for the Stittsville Food Bank or fundraising for the Cancer Society or the Diabetes Association or providing a post-secondary scholarship or hosting a euchre party or ‌ well, you get the idea. The Lions Club is busy, helping out in the community. If you would like to find out more about

what the Lions Club does in the Stittsville community and perhaps are wrestling with the idea of becoming involved so that you too can make a difference in your community, then you should consider attending an upcoming open house information session that the Stittsville District Lions Club is holding. You will not only be getting information but also wine and cheese which are also on the evening’s agenda.

This is all happening on Wednesday, Jan. 23 starting at 7 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone is welcome to attend, both those who might be contemplating joining the Lions Club and helping with its work in the community but also those who would just like to know more about the Lions and all that they do in the community. The Lions Club is open to both men and women and, indeed, the Club’s cur-

rent president is Beth Lewis. If you are considering attending this open house information session at the Lions Hall, please contact Lion Don Redtman at 613-8311054 or via email at dhredtman@sympatico.ca to let him know your intentions. This is just to help the Lions Club plan for the number who might be attending. After all, you don’t want to run out of the wine and cheese at an event like this.

Lions Club’s community work goes back to 1964 EMC news - Everywhere in Canada, Lionism has come to be synonymous with community service and in Stittsville, it has been no different. Since 1964, the Stittsville District Lions Club has developed a record of community service and involvement of which both the Club itself and the community can be extremely proud. The Club’s fundraising and community work have been ongoing, with the value of its contributions to various community projects and initiatives being in the thousands of dollars. But the monetary value of the Lions work and contributions over the years since the Club’s formation in 1964 is not the most important result of its receipt of its charter from Lions International in 1964. What has been the Club’s most important contribution to the community has been the fact that it has brought together a group of men, and, more recently, women, who, selflessly and without personal gain, have worked to help make the Stittsville community a better place in which to live. The official charter night of the Stittsville District Lions Club was October 19, 1964. The Charter Night itself was a gala affair which was held at the Ambassador Hall in Westboro. Over 400 persons attended this charter night which was presided over by Gerry Cummings, president of the West Ottawa Lions Club which was the sponsoring club for Stittsville. Several years after its formation, with the opening of the new Stittsville arena in 1971, the Stittsville District Lions Club undertook its first

big challenge, the raising of $10,000 for an artificial ice plant for the new arena. A successful marathon walk raised $7,000 in helping the Club achieve its goal. The Lions Club purchased the time clock for the arena and also helped out, along with the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, with the purchase of a new Zamboni ice cleaning machine for the arena in the 1970’s. Right from its beginning, the Stittsville District Lions Club was involved with the annual Christmas Cheer radio broadcast of the West Ottawa Lions Club on CFRA radio. In recent years, this radio broadcast has ceased but the Lions Club has continued with its Christmas fundraising, directing the funds raised to the Stittsville Food Bank and thus continuing to help the needy of the community. Welfare work, that is, being there with help when needed, has always been a major focus of the Stittsville District Lions Club. Christmas assistance have been one visible aspect of this welfare work; paying the heating bill for a fellow resident of the village suffering from hard times is another, more hidden aspect of the Club’s work. In 1979, the Stittsville District Lions Club undertook a $28,000 renovation project at Alexander Grove ball diamond in Stittsville, rejuvenating the facility which had been first developed in the late 1940’s. This renovation project included new fencing and new lighting at the diamond. In 1979/80, the Lions Club built the Stittsville Medical Centre on Stittsville Main Street, with the downstairs of the building becoming the

Club’s permanent meeting hall. Over the years, it has provided much needed meeting space in the community and for events like the annual Trivia Challenge Night hosted by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville and the fundraising used book sale held by Main Street Community Services. Not only that but the hall has been used extensively for receptions as well as family and group parties. The $80,000 Medical Centre building, constructed in 1979/80 by the Lions Club, was a major undertaking. The Club had planned the project for several years and, fully aware of the great need in the village at that time for a doctor’s services, kept working away at realizing the goal. Fundraising included walkathons and a car draw. With the establishment of the Medical Centre, a facility was in place which could house a doctor and it was not long before Dr. Jim Bell set up his practice in the facility, bringing a doctor to the community for the first time in years. The Stittsville District Lions Club, since its inception in 1964, has made donations to many charities, has provided trophies and awards for schools, has supported the Canadian National Institute for the Blind’s leader dog program, has at one time sponsored a June Jamboree fun event as well as a winter carnival, has sponsored local card parties and has made a major financial contribution to the Queensway-Carleton Hospital. Over the years, the Stittsville District Lions Club has supported minor hockey, minor ball and minor soccer, along with other community

and area projects and organizations. In recent years, the Stittsville District Lions Club has

assumed responsibility for erecting and maintaining the Christmas lights at both Village Square Park and at the

Thousands of items framed by John Whitney John Curry

EMC news – “I’ve been framed.” This simple statement, famously used by those accused of crimes over the years as one way of explaining their

innocence, is also something that literally thousands of paintings, photographs, memorabilia and other items could claim thanks to John Whitney at Stittsville Picture Framing & Studio Gallery. Yes, that’s right – John has framed a lot of things since he

opened his business in Stittsville in 1989. “You can just about frame anything you want,” he says and this includes not only paintings and photographs and certificates and needlework but also items as diverse as war medals, hockey jerseys,

record album covers, rings, comic books, old Christmas ornaments, golf balls and more. “You name it, I’ve framed it,” he says. All of this takes a certain expertise and John has it, built up over the years. It may involve stretching needlework just right so that it can be framed or it may involve creating a so-called “shadow box,” a skill in itself that John explains is the most complicated framing process. While now a big part of a framing business, creating shadow boxes is more intricate than simple framing with more materials and labour involved. It is virtually creating a box for the item with the depth of the frame an all-important consideration. John says that there are all sorts of different ways to create a shadow box, depending on what is being framed, but there is one constant and that is that the process “takes time.” But whether it is shadow boxes or just regular framing or stretching an old canvas for reframing, another process that takes a certain expertise that only experience teaches, John has seen just about everything since he first opened Stittsville Picture Framing & Studio Gallery in 1989. This was several years after he had graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Ottawa and then had taken a job with a framing company where he learned the craft before deciding to start his own business in Stittsville in 1989. He chose Stittsville at the time because he felt that Stittsville was going to grow and he wanted to be part of it. “And so far it has worked,” he says. John himself had been interested in art since the early 1970’s, mainly working in charcoal. This artistic experience has been invaluable to

John in his framing business. “You build up a colour sense and without a colour sense with framing, you are just not going to make it,” he says. Using this colour sense, John over the years has been able to help customers with making the proper choice of framing and matting for artwork. And this is important because, as John points out, the customer should not be left on his or her own to try to come up with the framing and matting that perfectly complements the artwork to be framed. He, as the framer, has to provide the expert guidance that results in the right choice being made. Indeed, John proudly says that in his years in business, he has never had a customer come back and say that the wrong choice had been made. That’s what having colour sense does. And John also rejects the notion that the location where art or a picture is being hung dictates the framing and matting required. “Location, location, location” may be an overriding rule in real estate but not in picture framing. Rather, according to John, if the right choice is made in matching the frame and matting with the art or picture being framed, then the finished product will hang anywhere with no worries. “If you match the picture, it can hang anywhere,” he says confidently. Over his now lengthy career in the framing business, John says that the only thing that has really changed is the move towards conservation materials. This includes acid free matting, tape and backing as well as glass that keeps out harmful ultra violet rays that can harm the framed object. Everything is now conservation based, he says, so that there is no possibility of acid or ultra violet light harming

the artwork by encouraging its deterioration or fading. John says that styles in framing do change frequently but that he tends to stay with the more traditional styles and materials that have proved popular over the years. While there now are frames made from metal and also laminated materials, he finds that wood frames still are the most popular, mainly because there is so much more choice with wood frames. With regard to the width of the matting used, John says that there are no industry standards but rather it all depends with the artwork or needlework or item being framed. He says that having a Vgroove in the matting has become just about standard in framing today. It is a skill that takes time to learn but with experience, such as he has built up over his the years, Vgrooves are easily done, just as are cutting ovals and circles in the matting for that unique framing job. But John notes that another key ingredient in the framing business, besides the expertise that comes from experience, is the ability to know how to deal with a customer and, as he puts it, “read” the customer so that the customer gets exactly what he or she is looking for in complementing the item with the framing. Developing a good rapport with the customer is, in framing as in all business, a key to success and a bevy of satisfied and happy customers is the result. Stittsville Picture Framing & Studio Gallery is located at 1541 Stittsville Main Street in downtown Stittsville. It is open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The shop is closed on Sundays. Stittsville Picture Framing & Studio Gallery can be contacted at 613-831-0558.

Effective January 1, 2013, Hydro Ottawa’s distribution rates have changed. A typical residential customer’s bill will increase by approximately 0.58 percent or $0.66 per month. Small commercial customers consuming 2,000 kWh per month and having a demand of less than 50 kilowatts will see their monthly bill decrease by about $5.35. Distribution rates are set by the Ontario Energy Board, based on applications submitted by Hydro Ottawa. The rate-setting process is open and transparent, with opportunities for public participation. In Hydro Ottawa’s rate application, major business priorities included the need to continually invest in infrastructure to keep services reliable; and to prepare for the industry-wide challenge

of an aging workforce by continuing and growing its trades apprenticeship programs.

Components of the Electricity Bill

Industry comparisons have consistently shown that Hydro Ottawa’s operating, maintenance and administration costs are below the provincial average. Distribution rates cover the cost of building and maintaining infrastructure. Hydro Ottawa’s distribution charges represent only 20.4 percent of the total bill for a typical residential customer. The remaining charges are passed on, without mark-up, to respective parties on behalf of customers.

January 7th 2013 UPCOMING MAPLE GROVE ROAD CLOSURES! As part of the Maple Grove Road construction upgrades the City has granted permission for additional construction of Maple Grove Road in two areas. The contractor, Taggart Construction Ltd., has been contracted by Mattamy Corp. to reconstruct Maple Grove Rd. Work includes sanitary, storm, watermain and road reconstruction. Maple Grove from Alon Street to Johnwoods Street The section of Maple Grove Road from Alon Street to Johnwoods will be reduced to one lane for required watermain work from January 7, 2013 to March 29, 2013. During some of this construction period the intersection of Johnwoods and Maple Grove Road will be completed closed requiring residents to follow a detour. This work will also entail some blasting and Mattamy Homes has been requested to notify nearby residents of this work. Local traffic and emergency vehicles will continue to have access on the temporary roads from Johnwoods to the open section of Maple Grove Road (east of this road closure). Maple Grove Road from Rosehill Avenue to Silver Seven Road The section of Maple Grove Road from Rosehill Avenue to Silver Seven Road will be completely closed for required watermain work and storm sewer upgrades from January 16, 2013 to April 6, 2013. As part of the requirements for these road closures, the roadway must be reopened to the public once it is feasible to do so. If the roadway is reopened before asphalt is available, the contractor must open the road with a smooth hard packed granular surface. The roadway surface must be to the satisfaction of the City. The contractor is responsible for all roadway maintenance (inc. snow removal, filling potholes) until such time as all work is complete (inc. paving). For general information on the Maple Grove Road construction project please visit: http://www.shadqadri.com/plan_trans.htm.

‘Halcyon Days’ at owaa gallery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Halcyon, by deďŹ nition when used as an adjective, means calm, peaceful, serene. It is frequently used with the word “daysâ€? – halcyon days, i.e. peaceful days, serene days. And so at the new exhibit at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, called “Halcyon Days,â€? you would expect art of a calm, peaceful, serene nature. And indeed, much of it is. There are classic winter landscapes, like Louise Barker’s oil painting named, what else, “Winter Halcyon,â€? featuring a creek winding its way through a snowy scene with snow clinging to trees, much like has been the scene around Stittsville in the early days of 2013; or like Sheila Murphy’s acrylic “A Winter Day in Goulbourn,â€? another winter scene, featuring a log barn, snow banked up, evergreens with snow-laden branches, all topped off with a blue sky, the kind that happens on a clear, crisp winter’s day; or Betty Sullivan’s oil painting “Tranquil Moments on the Farm,â€? also showing a wintertime scene with log barns with horses in the foreground barnyard and ďŹ elds. But it is not only wintertime that brings serenity to the landscape. Donna Wiegand’s oil “Lake #1,â€? which shows tall grass in the foreground, trees on a slope going down to a lake and hills in the background, shares much in common, both in calmness and in approach, with Ana Maria Rutenberg’s watercolour “Gran Manan,â€? a small landscape that also has long grass in the foreground, with a hazy, soft treatment of the background. But serenity comes in many forms – that’s what makes art so uniquely interesting. Sheila Turner-Whalen’s mixed media piece entitled “Impressionisticâ€? lets the viewer visualize it to his or her own liking – customize it, as it were. So what is that red bottom or those yellow circles or that immense black – it’s all in the impression that it makes on you. Patrick Bourke’s photo “Stillnessâ€? shows that there can be calmness even with a stream tumbling over rock ledges as it makes its way through leaf-strewn

banks. Although the water is rushing along its downhill path, its isolation in the woods lends a stillness and ongoing calmness to the scene. “Experimental Farm – Ottawa,â€? Gordon Muma’s pastel pencil entry in this exhibition, shows a series of trees, with their serenity threatened, perhaps, by a squirrel right there in their midst – perhaps chattering, perhaps not, but certainly with that mischievous squirrel look that tells you that something just may happen to break the serenity. You just have to love Aud Karin Sund’s 36 inch high by 24 inch wide oil painting she has titled “Rising.â€? Its colours, ranging from a dominating yellow to purple and blue, portray a restful, peaceful view. If art can inuence behaviour, then the viewer has to experience calmness and serenity when looking on this art. Soraya “Ziziâ€? Silvestri’s “Serenity,â€? an acrylic that is the same size as “Risingâ€? but uses the dimensions differently, being 36 inches wide by 24 inches high, has a horizontal focus, with the artist using red, yellow and blue to depict the painting’s title. “West Coast Scene,â€? an oil by Jan Inniss, shows a sea shore with sea gulls on the rocks, waves dashing up against the rocks, driftwood on the shore and a blue sky. It depicts the routine happenstance of the shoreline, something that in its regularity has a calmness and serenity because you can count on it happening over and over again. “Paris,â€? a photo by John Edkins, a bird’s eye view of three tree-lined streets in Paris, with the Eiffel Tower in the distance, makes the city, no doubt bustling and busy, seem like a calm, serene place, albeit with a mass of buildings, looking like one big structure stretching from street to street. Paris seems calm and serene – no doubt not what is happening at street level but from far above, that’s the scene. Josie Braden’s watercolour entitled “Some Daisies,â€? twice as tall at 30 inches as it is wide, shows white owers in a vase with greenery – the view brings you the calmness that only nature’s oral wonders can convey. Flowers are also featured in Wendy Russell’s acrylic “Decked Out In Red,â€? show a number of red leaves intricately depicted on a dark wood grained oor.

And while not a oral piece, Patrick Mason’s oil on masonite “Solaceâ€? does involve nature with its trees and greenery. Tammy MacAllister’s oil “Verticals,â€? one of the larger pieces in the exhibit at 32 inches high and 40 inches wide, features white and light colours, all applied in wide, vertical strokes. The name, in this case, does say it all. Kat McClure’s acrylic “Shades of Blue,â€? another of the larger paintings in the exhibit, combines black, blue and white, with lots of geometric forms, both squares and more. This style of using shapes and colours to convey a painting’s theme is also found in Lise Scott’s acrylic “Winter Moon,â€? featuring a circle and a wide curved line weaving its way around the circle and through the painting. Two of the paintings in the exhibition feature children – one a facial and one, let’s just say, not a facial. Roseanne Facchin’s acrylic “Ode to Joyâ€? shows a child happily in a yellow rain jacket with a hood – a happy camper, no doubt. Denise Laamme Noonan’s acrylic “Tutu and Pearlsâ€? shows a young girl in a ballet tutu bending over. We see the tutu, her legs and, yes, her nattily attired derriere. So that’s what is worn under a tutu! And artists being what they are, they have different interpretations of what might be entitled a halcyon day. For Gerald Smith, a sail on the historic Bluenose schooner with sails in full bloom as depicted in his 30 inch by 40 inch oil painting “The Bluenose Passing Byâ€? might create just the most peaceful and enjoyable day, at least for a sailing enthusiast. Mark Grasza, who has done several paintings on the War of 1812, has his oil painting “Crysler Farmâ€? in this exhibit. And while this shows ships in the St. Lawrence River teeming with soldiers and native warriors on horseback, perhaps the serene British ofďŹ cer in the foreground shows why the British and Canadians prevailed in this battle. “Serenity now,â€? as comedian Jerry Stiller, playing the role of Frank Costanza, George’s father in the television series “Seinfeld,â€? might say.

REMINDER: CHRISTMAS TREES WILL BE COLLECTED ON THE SAME DAY AS THE GREEN BIN. PLEASE REMOVE ALL DECORATIONS. DID YOU KNOW? EARLY ROADS & SLEIGHS It was the development of roads that made social life possible in the settlement. Although they were at first primitive, they served the purpose of improved communication. The transition from a footpath to a wagon road was gradual and usually obstacles such as hills, rocks or swamps were avoided by going around them wherever possible. It was in the winter that social life was most vibrant. This was because people could travel with much more ease over the snow in their home-made sledges than they could over the difficult roads encountered through other seasons. They also had more leisure time in the winter as opposed to harvest season earlier in the year. " GBSNFS T TMFJHI XBT B iKVNQFSu B XPPEFO CPY PO SVOOFST PGUFO OPU even shod with iron.

Special to the News

Joe Aragona is back again in this exhibit with another car photo, this time a colour photograph called “Hot Rod Hangout” showing three hot rods including a bright red one on display under a blue sky with puffy, white clouds. A halcyon day, no doubt, for a car buff. Stephen Harrison’s “Techtown Arcade” photograph, sharp and clear because it is reproduced on dye infused aluminum like all of Stephen’s work, shows three people looking at an array of video game machines in an arcade. While we cannot see their faces, no doubt they are grinning with delight – they have found their halcyon heaven. Two works in the exhibition that are eye catching are Mike Goguen’s acrylic on canvas called “Isolation.” It features a tall, modern, glass encased building standing in the midst of a snow covered, mountainous landscape. And don’t miss that star glowing in the sky, much like the Star of Bethlehem. Photographer Sylvie Sabourin has a black and white photo appropriately named “The Flood” which shows a man with a basket crossing a flooded, narrow street lined with buildings. And, last but certainly not least in any way, you should not miss Vera Van Baaren’s mixed media work in this exhibition, a work entitled “Halcyon (The European Kingfisher).” It shows an adult Kingfisher bird with two minnows in its beak on a branch over water along with two young birds ready for their hoped-for lunch, all set against a muted green background that gives the birds extra prominence. This, of course, meets the theme of the exhibition, Halcyon Days, because Halcyon can also refer to the brightly coloured Kingfisher bird that is native to Europe, Africa and Australia. And, really, for these two young birds in this mixed media painting, getting such a luncheon treat as depicted would make it a happy day for them, although whether they would be calm and peaceful in waiting for it is a question for another day. This new exhibition “Halcyon Days” will be on display at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville through until Friday, March 1. When visiting the gallery and looking at the art on display, consider filling out a People’s Choice ballot for your favourite piece of art among the 27 on display in the exhibition. This provides feedback as well as much satisfaction to the artists – they love to know how their art is being accepted by the viewers. The People’s Choice ballot even has a space where you can describe what you like best about the piece of art. These ballots, which are available at the gallery, along with the ballot box, are collected and the results are calculated at the end of the exhibition. The top three vote getters are announced.

41 teams in oldtimers hockey tournament Special to the News

EMC news - A hometown team were champions in the age 30 and over category in last weekend’s oldtimers hockey tournament in Stittsville. The Main Street Pub team, comprised of Stittsville Town Hockey League players who got together for this tournament, won the A championship in the eight-team 30 and over age category. Stittsville’s oldtimers hockey legend Johnny Leroux was associated with this Main Street Pub team, another achievement in his long record of oldtimers hockey accomplishments. And, indeed, Johnny’s legacy was evident throughout the weekend. Not only did Johnny start this tournament over 30 years ago but most of the games were played at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. The tournament, which is now called the Laidlaw Rangers Hockey Club Annual Tournament, has been organized and run for the last few years by Rob Mulder who once again this year did a great job. This year’s tournament, which involved a total of 66 one-hour games played at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena (48 games), the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (16 games) and the Sensplex (2 games), attracted 41 teams, playing in six age categories as well in a new Ladies Division. The age categories were age 65 and over, four teams; age 60 and over, four teams; age 55 and over, five teams; age 50 and over, eight teams; age 40 and over, six teams;

age 30 and over, eight teams; and Ladies Division, six teams. Teams came from as far away as Belleville and Montreal to play in the tournament. The championship teams were as follows: Age 65 and over category –

Magedona from Brockville; Age 60 and over – Old Smoothies from Ottawa; Age 55 and over – Slimes from Kanata; Age 50 and over – ‘A’ Champions – Castor Heating from Embrun; ‘A’ Consolation Champions – Bradley’s

from Stittsville; ‘B’ Champions – Glen Cairn Motley Crew from Kanata; and ‘B’ Consolation Champions – Glen Walter Knights from Cornwall; Age 40 and over – Stittsville Open Roads; Age 30 and over – ‘A’ Champions

EMC news - He’s been swimming since his youngest years and now, at age 13, he is one of the best swimmers in Canada in his age group. Jayden Cole hopes to be able to go to the Olympics someday but realizes that he will have to work hard to make it happen. This means practicing, training hard and working on his technique, making himself more streamlined so that he can move quicker through the water. Jayden, who is a grade eight student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School, swims with the Goulbourn Sea Hawks Swim Club based at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. This past summer, he competed at the Canadian nationals in Calgary, the first time that he had qualified for this national competition. And when all was said and done, he placed 18th in the age group in Canada. Backstroke is his favourite and best stroke. He likes it because he gets to breathe on every stroke. He swam in seven events at nationals including the 50 metre freestyle in which he did well even though he is usually better at the 100 metre freestyle. Jayden says that his parents put him in the water when he was very young. He began taking swimming lessons when he was about four years old and joined a swim team about two years later. Even when the family moved to England for two years, he continued to swim and train there. Jayden describes himself as a competitive person but although he likes to compete, he also likes to have fun, do his best and make friends while swimming. He is in the pool every day except Sunday and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, he is in the pool twice in a day. He also does dryland training twice a week and takes yoga every second Saturday to

Jayden Cole become more flexible. But being in the water virtually every day is no hardship for Jayden. In fact, he loves being in the water. He also loves competing in meets and tries to go to as many meets as possible. This allows him to determine if he is improving and gives him an opportunity to work on his breathing and his turns. Jayden not only loves swimming but also loves the friends that he swims with, saying that they go everywhere together and have great times together. But Jayden also has interests outside the pool. He plays the piano, nothing formal but just sitting down and playing by himself or playing a duet with his mother. Saying that he enjoys making music, he used to take violin lessons but then his swimming took over and the violin was gone. Jayden used to play soccer and thinks that he may play again this coming summer since the swimming sea-

son ends at the beginning of August and soccer would be something to keep him occupied and active throughout the summer, while helping to strengthen his legs. Swimming involves a lot of numbers, such as times and laps, and that’s what Jayden thinks may be the reason that he is good at math. Indeed, he hopes someday to be a scientist or someone that has something to do with math and science. He admits to really enjoying working with numbers and formulas while he also is fascinated by science. In science, you can learn about how the world works which is pretty cool, Jayden says. Looking ahead, he is hoping that he may be able to obtain a scholarship, either at an American or a Canadian university. Jayden is also looking forward to coaching with the Sea Hawks next season as older swimmers with the Club have the opportunity to coach some of the younger swimmers.

Rotary members learn about school Lions offering $100 prizes in public speaking John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville learned about the Mississippi School for the Arts at a recent meeting thanks to guest speaker Sharon Holzscherer. She is the founder and principal of Mississippi School for the Arts, a private high school for grades 7 through 12 in Carleton Place which offers a full-time school program focused on both academics and the arts. The school attempts to connect all subjects through the arts, believing that education is enhanced when combined with the arts. A parent of four children herself, she realizes that all children learn differently and yet the public education system is a rigid system with standardized testing where children fall through the cracks. Children have to be engaged to learn, Ms. Holzscherer said, pointing out that there is a difference between learning and simply taking a subject. “You have to engage the children,” she said. She said that the Mississippi School for the Arts requires teachers to be passionate about the subjects that they teach. Our programs work because of the passion of the teachers, she said, noting that the stu-

dents get excited because the teacher is excited about the subject. She said that a rigid school schedule, with blocks of times for classes, may work for the school but not necessarily for the students, noting that a student may be getting excited about a subject but then the bell rings and the class is over. “We need flexibility,” principal Holzscherer said, urging that people have to stop think-

ing of schools as a “factory” and begin thinking of them as a “garden” where seeds are planted and then nourished. She said that she started the Mississippi School for the Arts to demonstrate that it is possible to do things differently, saying that the school is noisy and may seem chaotic with multiple classes sometimes in the same large room but it is simply students being engaged and selecting what they want to work on.

Students at the Mississippi School for the Arts, in classes of 15 students or less, take a full range of courses from grades 7 through 12 in keeping with the ideals of the International Baccalaureate program. The Mississippi School for the Arts can be contacted at 613-261-6249 or via email at info@mississippischool.ca . The school’s website can be found at www.mississippischool.ca .

EMC news - There’s a $100 prize for the winner in each category as well as prizes for all participants, so participation – and winning – does have its benefits. This public speaking contest is open to students from grades 6 to 12, with three categories: junior for students in grades 6, 7 and 8; intermediate for students in grades 9 and 10; and senior for students in grades 11 and 12. The speech can be delivered in either English or French. In the junior category, participants will be required to give a speech three to five minutes in length. At the intermediate and senior levels, besides the prepared speech, participants will be required to give an impromptu speech at least two minutes in length. Winners in each category can go on to another level of competition if they wish, namely at the District level, competing against successful speakers from contests held by other Lions Clubs in the area. The winner at this District level has the opportunity to go on to yet another level of competition, namely the Multiple District level, competing against speakers from other Lions Districts. This year the Stittsville District Lions Club has inserted a new category into this local public speaking contest. If it not formal public speaking per se but rather this category is for any youth or group of friends who have a comedy routine or some original drama or presentation that they would like to present. This is a wide open category, with anything from a Jerry Seinfeld-like comedy routine to a Shakespearean soliloquy. Anything goes and it could be fun, both for the participant or participants as well as the audience that night. Oh yes, this public speaking contest being hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club is being held on Wednesday, Feb. 13 at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. So, there is a little over a month for youth to decide to participate and to prepare for the event. For more information about this public speaking event or to indicate your interest, please contact Lion Gordon MacIsaac at 613-836-5871 or via email at Gordon_macisaac@hotmail.com

Lots ‘new’ in 2013 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A new year, a new meeting spot and a new way of gardening. The StittsvilleGoulbourn Horticultural Society may be going into its 51st year but it sure embraces new things. Take its meeting spot, for example. Regular meetings in recent years have been held at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. But now, with the new year of 2013, the Horticultural Society is changing the location of its meetings. They will now be held at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street, using the side entrance and meeting upstairs. The meetings will be held at 7:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month except for July, Aug. and Dec. when no regular meeting is scheduled. Both new and experienced gardeners are encouraged to join the Horticultural Society to enjoy a lineup of interesting guest speakers, to hear about various gardening ideas, to share gardening information and more. Memberships for 2013 are now available by contacting Marlene Lahey at 613-836-6647. Memberships are $15 per person or $25 per couple. Memberships will also be available at the door at the monthly meetings. The initial meeting of 2013 for the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society will be

held on Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the new meeting site, the Stittsville United Church. Guest speaker will be Carolyn Klickermann who will talk about square foot gardening. She is a certified square foot garden instructor who will give a slide show and also talk on this organic gardening method that has been sweeping North America. Square foot gardening is a system that adapts to all levels of gardening experience, physical abilities and geographical locations. It allows a person to grow all that is needed in only 20 percent of the space taken up by a conventional row garden. The square foot gardening system is user friendly, easy to understand, great for beginners and produces virtually no weeds. It is meant to save time, water, work and money – what else could you ask for? Square foot gardening is the practice of planning and creating small but intensively planted gardens. It combines concepts from other organic gardening methods including a focus on compost, densely planted raised beds and biointensive attention to a small area. The phrase “square foot gardening” was popularized by Mel Bartholomew in a 1981 book and in a subsequent PBS television series. So, you can find out all about square foot gardening at the Jan. 15th meeting of the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society – it may make 2013 your best gardening year ever!

for the colonies. So too was Goulburn, a city in New South Wales in Australia about 121 miles southwest of Sydney. So there is a connection between Canada and Australia thanks to this name and so it is not surprising that the Australian outback will be the theme for an upcoming PA Day event being held at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners, once the seat of municipal government for the township of Goulbourn, an area that is now part of the city of Ottawa. This “”G’day Goulbourn!” PA Day event on Friday, Jan. 18 at the Museum will have a definite Australian outback theme. Those who sign up are urged to attend dressed in safari outback attire. They will be learning about Australia’s indigenous animals thanks to a visit from Little Ray’s Reptiles. Those attending will also learn the Australian traditional art of dot painting. One of the things for which Australia is well known is the boomerang and those attending this PA Day event will get to make their very own boomerangs. This “G’day Goulbourn!” PA Day event is being held on Friday, Jan. 18 from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum. It is open to youngsters aged 7 to 10 years of age i.e. grades 2 to 5. Children must be pre-registered to guarantee a spot. Since space is limited, early registration is recommended. The cost for this PA Day event is $25 per child. Snacks will be provided. To register, please call the Goulbourn Museum at 613831-2393 or via email at education@goulbournmuseum. ca.

Vipers win tournament

Royals end 2012 on winning note with 6-1 victory John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - The Stittsville Royals ended 2012 on a winning note. Travelling to Shawville on Sunday, Dec. 30, the Royals defeated the hometown Pontiacs 6-1 for the team’s 12th victory of the season so far. It was a close first period that looked like it might end in a scoreless tie when Steve Genier put the Royals on the scoreboard with a goal with only 11 seconds to go in the period. In the second period, the Pontiacs came back to tie the game 1-1 but then the Royals received goals from Alex Bouchey and Nate Blenkarn to take a 3-1 lead going into the third period. In the third period, all of the scoring was done by the Royals as they notched three goals to win the game 6-1. Scoring for the Royals in this third period were Michael Di Bello, Scott Barnes and Jordan Bosley. Earning assists for the Royals in this game were Mitch Kerwin, who collected three assists, Brandon Lee and Tim McDonnell, who both had two assists, and Kyle Drisdelle, Kevin Groulx, Matt Kadolph and Steve Genier, all with one assist each. Although the Royals won the game 6-1, they were outshot by the Shawville Pontiacs by a fairly wide margin. The Royals had 24 shots on the Shawville net while the Pontiacs directed 41 shots at the Royals goal. After this victory, the Roy-

als had a record of 12 wins, 11 losses and 3 overtime losses so far this season, good for 27 points and fourth place in the six-team Valley Division. Perth Blue Wings lead with 35 points, followed by the Arnprior Packers with 30 points and the Renfrew Timberwolves with 28 points. Behind the Royals in the standings are Almonte Thunder with 19 points and Shawville Pontiacs with 18 points. Kevin Groulx is the Royals’ top scorer so far this season, with 12 goals and 19 assists for 31 points in 25 games played. This is good for 47th place in the league scoring statistics which are being led by Wyatt Cota of Gananoque who is leading with 72 points as of Dec. 31. The Stittsville Royals take to the ice again at home at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Sunday, Jan. 20 with the Ottawa Canadians as the opposition.

Male Chorus back as rehearsals start John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - With their packed, song-filled annual Christmas concert now behind them, the Goulbourn Male Chorus is now resuming rehearsals which will culminate in its spring concert. While rehearsals started last Tuesday, Jan. 8, there is still an opportunity for more men to join the Chorus if they enjoy singing and the fellowship that comes from being part of a group. Already, three new singers are joining the Male Chorus as a result of the successful Christmas concert. With two singers now down south for the winter, membership at present in the Chorus numbers 27. But more are welcomed and encouraged to join. There are weekly rehearsals on Tuesdays from 7 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Unlike at the Christmas concert where the Goulbourn Male Chorus was joined by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the Hilltop Bell Ringers, the spring concert will see the Goulbourn Male Chorus going it alone, although with the presence of some guest instrumentalists.

But what a concert is promises to be, with a range of music including a ballad-style “Homeward Bound,” folk music from both the British Isles and Germany such as “The Lorelei,” “My Heart’s in the Highlands,” and “The Whistling Gypsy,” and western and folk music including the cowboy love song “Red River Valley,” the West Coast folk song “Hunker Down” and the East Coast song “Working Man,” made famous by Cape Breton’s Rita MacNeil. Now that’s going to be some concert. No date has yet been announced but watch for it. The Goulbourn Male Chorus is losing its accompanist as Barb Creech is moving with her family to Brockville this spring. Bonnie MacDiarmid will be serving as the accompanist for both the Goulbourn Male Chorus and the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is the music director for both the Goulbourn Male Chorus and the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. For more information about joining the Goulbourn Male Chorus, please contact music director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or via email at dueckrobert@bell.net .

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Nobody minded the winter back in the 1930s -- the colder the better. When the temperature dipped below -30 C, we knew the Bonnechere would be frozen solid and it was safe to put on the skates. We kids were happy. My three brothers and Audrey had real skates, but mine were a despised pair of bobs, the two bladed kind that were as dull as dishwater, which I had to use until the day my teacher arrived at the rink behind the Northcote School with a pair of black skates for me. It didn’t bother me a bit that they were miles too big for me. Mother simply stuffed the toes with Father’s wool socks and I was ready to hit the ice. Once the Bonnechere was ready the boys, which always included the Thoms from the next farm, began the job of cleaning off the river. There were no fancy shovels back then. Father had nailed a piece of heavy tin to a board and that worked perfectly. It was impossible to avoid cracks and bits of ice sticking up out of the frozen river, but there was enough of a surface cleared that a dozen of us could skate at the same time. Surviving many winters, and summers too, was the lean-to Father made to shelter us when we wanted a rest. It was made of several boards nailed to a couple two-by-fours and propped against a cluster of cedars which had been cleared of their lower branches. Two small nail kegs held a plank so we could sit down under the lean-to. At the time, I doubted there was a better place to skate in all of Renfrew County. Of course I never went very far from the house without a lunch. So always, as well as toting down my skates to the river, I carried a brown paper bag with a sandwich or two and perhaps a cookie. I had to guard this bag as if it were money from the bank, since I learned one day that when I went to have my snack, all that was left was a bit of wax paper scrunched up inside. No one admitted to the dastardly deed, but I strongly suspected my brother Emerson -- I still do to this day. The Thoms were big strapping boys, like my two older brothers, and they pretty well took over the ice. They played hockey, dominating most of the ice surface, and we girls were relegated to a small corner of the cleared area. There was no net for the goal, simply two blocks of wood about five feet apart at either end of the cleared surface. My

Bonnechere skating turns cheeks crimson youngest brother Earl, the smallest of all the boys, was always the goalie, which he didn’t relish one bit. He wanted to skate! Earl accomplished this by letting so many goals in that he had to be replaced -- he was no dummy. Of course there was no money for a puck, but by the time winter had really settled in and everything was frozen solid, horse apples were perfect substitutes. There was always a little pile of them sitting at one end of the river rink, so that when one split apart another was always at the ready. I shuddered when I saw my brothers with a pitch fork, sifting through the manure pile at the back door of the barn until they found just the right size and shape to use in their hockey games. Fun on the Bonnechere went all Sunday afternoon. When it came close to the time we had to head back to do the chores, we went to the lean-to and took off our skates and trudged home. We always left enough time between skating and the chores to allow us the treat either Mother or Aunt Bertha Thom had ready for us. With Mother it was hot chocolate and ginger cookies, But at Aunt Bertha’s, it was hot chocolate and cupcakes. It’s hard not to remember the wonderful smell of those cupcakes as soon as we walked into the Thoms’ kitchen door. There was nothing fancy about our rink on the Bonnechere. There was nothing fancy about the skates we wore -- my brothers and sister’s coming from a shoemaker’s store in Renfrew, traded for a few chickens and some of Mother’s sticky buns. It was a time when we made do with what we had. I don’t think we ever had a real hockey puck -- the horse apples suited just fine. And long before Frisbees were invented, in the wintertime, when everything had frozen solid, there was nothing better to hurl through the air, than a solid cow chip. I never liked to be on the receiving end of one, but my brothers never tired of hurling them at each other, the greatest fun coming when one broke in mid air over someone’s head. Winter was a time of great frivolity. When the day came to a close and with our outer clothes draped over the wood box beside the Findlay Oval to dry, our cheeks would be crimson and often I could barely keep my eyes open to eat my supper. I would look around the table, laden with food, all produced on our own farm, and I would think I was just about the luckiest little girl in all of Renfrew County.

Art, yoga, fitness courses at Sacred Heart john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Want to turn your doodles into art? It’s possible and you can learn how by taking the Zentangles course being offered as one of the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s continuing education visual arts general interest courses at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville this winter. In this course, instructed by Marilyn Harris Mills, you will discover how to turn your doodles into a work of art. It all revolves around the Zentangles art form and method which was created by Rick Roberts and Maria Thomas who even have a patent pending on the method.

It involves creating a pattern by repeating strokes one at a time in a structured sequence, a process that leads to a work of art. You can find out how this is all possible by signing up for the course which will be offered for three weeks on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. starting on Thursday, Jan. 31. Registration cost for this course, which is being offered for the first time in this winter’s offerings, is $65 plus HST. In addition, some supplies will be required, costing approximately $15 to $20. If doodling is not your thing, you may want instead to enroll in the new watercolour pencils course that is also being offered at Sacred Heart High School during this winter 2013 session. In this course, also instructed by

Marilyn Harris Mills, you will learn various techniques to create art with fun, easy and transportable medium. And what’s even better, you don’t have to have any art experience to be able to take and enjoy this course. The course is being offered for three weeks on Thursdays starting on Thursday, March 28, running from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each week. Cost of registration is $65 plus HST. In addition, some supplies will be required, costing approximately $15 to $20. Keeping in the visual arts mode, there is another general interest art course being offered at Sacred Heart High School in both the winter and spring sessions and that is a course in advanced tech-

The Importance of Financial Literacy in our Community McAuley Financial Services provides financial planning services to a great many families and businesses in the Ottawa area. Our first hand experience tells us that people need and want assistance with finances. Savings rates have been dropping for years while people like Bank Governor Carney warn about debt levels. We find that financial literacy is weak and we are not really sure where young people are getting their insight into savings, debt, credit, interest and budgeting. For the most part it doesn’t appear they are getting adequate insight and we thought it would be helpful to draw upon our experience to assist high school students in the 15-17 age brackets to obtain a greater understanding and appreciation for some of these basic skills. Our plan is to run an educational seminar and accommodate the first 80 students who register. There will be no cost for the seminar but we would kindly ask that each participant donate $25 or more to Do It For Darin in support of mental health.

It’s mitten time at Road Races these Richmond Road Races have been going for 31 years. He says that they would only be cancelled if there were freezing rain. But weather does have an impact on the races in terms of turnout. Mr. DuVall says that registrations for the race are happening this year at about the same rate as in previous years, meaning that the races should have about 450 or so runners registered, a number that has been pretty consistent over the past few years. He says that some runners wait to see what the long term forecast is for the day before they commit to registering for the race. But again this year, as in the past, runners will be able to enjoy the warmth and fellowship of the post-

EMC news - Last year it was toques. This year it’s mittens. That’s what participants in this year’s 2013 Richmond Road Races this Sunday, Jan. 13 will be receiving for taking part in the event. The mittens will even have the race’s name on them – quite a souvenir. And mittens, indeed, just like toques, are a fitting clothing souvenir of the Richmond Road Races because they do take place in the middle of winter. Longtime organizer Joe DuVall says that the races have never had to be cancelled due to weather. And R0011852122/0110

race gathering inside South Carleton High School and sip some delicious soup there, no matter what the weather is outside. One aspect of the Richmond Road Races course that can impact the runners, although only very, very briefly, is the railroad track which crosses McBean Street just south of the starting line at South Carleton High School. It is possible that a train may roar across this road crossing after the race has started. If so, it means that runners will be delayed for some seconds as the barrier blocking the street is engaged. A race marshal will be stationed at the crossing this year to ensure that no runners try to go around the barrier if

and when it goes down to warn of an approaching train. Motorists in the Richmond area should be aware that there will be some road detours in effect for a while this Sunday morning, Jan. 13 because of the Richmond Road Races. The 10K Race begins at 10 a.m. at South Carleton High School while the 5K Race starts about ten minutes later, both following a route that uses McBean Street heading south from the high school. For the duration of the races, northbound traffic that uses McBean Street south of Richmond is blocked off at the intersection of Century Road and McCordick Road. Traffic is also blocked off at a couple of

streets around South Carleton High School. But these road blockages and detours are only in place for as short a time as possible. Police officers will be enforcing the detours. This is just a reminder to those who might be attending a church service or other event or activity in Richmond this Sunday morning and would be taking McBean Street to take into account that you may have a short detour that you have to take due to the Richmond Road Races. For registration information about the 2013 Richmond Road Races this coming Sunday, Jan. 13, check out the website www.runottawaclub.com . Bushtukah Great Outdoor Gear is the sponsor for the race.

Stittsville’s Cobina Delaney scores Special to the News EMC sports - Stittsville’s Cobina Delaney scored the only goal for the Robert Morris University Colonials women’s hockey team in its 2-1 loss to the visiting Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers last Friday, Jan. 4. In fact, Cobina got the Colonials on the board ďŹ rst in the game when she scored with less than a minute to go in the ďŹ rst

period, giving her team a 1-0 lead going into the second period. Cobina got the goal by tipping in a shot from the point ďŹ red by teammate Kylie St. Louis. It was Cobina’s third goal of the season. Rochester Institute of Technology came back to tie the game in the second period and then score the winning goal with ďŹ ve minutes to go in the third period

for the victory. Despite losing, the Colonials outshot the visiting Tigers 30-19. This loss dropped the Colonials’ overall season record to nine wins, four losses and two ties. Cobina Delaney is in her fourth and ďŹ nal season with Robert Morris University which is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville.

Anthony Ashe scoring for Axemen EMC sports - The Acadia University Axemen basketball team is currently ranked second in Canada with an undefeated 6-0 record going into the Christmas break. And Stittsville’s Anthony Ashe is playing a role in the team’s superb play so far this season. In an 86-79 win over the University of Prince Edward Island which took the Axemen’s record to ďŹ ve wins and no losses, Anthony scored 20 points. In an earlier 71-49 win over the Memorial University Sea Hawks, Anthony led the Axe-

men scoring with 19 points, sinking 5 of 12 shots from three point territory. Going into the Christmas break, Anthony is third in team scoring and eighth overall in league scoring, averaging 15.7 points per game. He is averaging 24.5 minutes of play per game. Anthony, who is wearing jersey number 14 for the Axemen, plays both guard and forward positions. A graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, he is enrolled in a science program at Acadia. Standing six foot, four inches tall and now in his fourth

year of eligibility in university basketball, Anthony is considered a strong rebounder from the guard position and an intelligent defender with the ability to make shots. Anthony is a team mate on the Axemen with Sean Stoqua, another Stittsville product and another Sacred Heart Catholic High School graduate. Sean, who wears jersey number 7 for the Axemen, is in his second year with the team. He is considered a player who has great vision on the court. Besides playing basketball at Acadia, Sean also plays on the football team.

ROBERT MORRIS ATHLETICS

Cobina Delaney of Stittsville, wearing jersey number 26 for the Robert Morris University Colonials women’s hockey team, is in action against the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh last Friday, Jan. 4.

Haggis time is coming John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Haggis, considered the national dish of Scotland as a result of Robbie Burns’ poem “Address to a Haggis” written in 1787, will be front and centre at the upcoming Robbie Burns Dinner on Saturday, Jan 26 at the Lions Hall in Stittsville, sponsored by the Stittsville United Church. This Robbie Burns Dinner will get underway at 7 p.m. that evening. Tickets are available from Shirley Pretty at 613-836-2760 or Marion Gullock at 613-836-5254 or from the Stittsville United Church office at 613-836-4962. Tickets are $25 each is purchased before Monday, Jan. 21 and $30 each after that. But getting back to haggis, it contains a sheep’s heart, liver and lungs, minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt, cooked at a simmer for about three hours. It is traditionally served with turnip and potato and is the main course of any Burns supper such as the one coming up in Stittsville on Saturday, Jan. 26. The history of haggis is somewhat vague. It

was mentioned in English and Scottish poetry as long ago as the early 1400’s. Some believe that the ancient Romans ate food of the haggis type. Some claim Scandinavian origins for haggis. But no matter what its origins, haggis is now associated with Scotland and especially with Robbie Burns, Scotland’s most famous poet. Haggis is usually served as part of any Burns supper held normally in the last week of January to commemorate Robbie Burns, Scotland’s national poet who wrote “Address to a Haggis.” In Burns’ lifetime, haggis was a common dish of the poor as it was nourishing but very cheap, being made from leftover parts of a sheep which was the commonest livestock in Scotland. Haggis today is popular with those of Scottish ancestry who have settled in Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, especially with those attending a Robbie Burns Dinner. The Robbie Burns Dinner on Saturday, Jan. 26 in Stittsville will also include entertainment of a Scottish nature including the McNab Pipes and Drums and highland dancers.

Noontime dinner at AGM on Jan. 19 EMC news - It’s business but it’s also a time for socializing. That’s the annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society which is coming up on Saturday, Jan. 19. The tradition has developed that this annual general meeting (AGM) rotates around the various communities of Goulbourn and so this year this AGM is being held in Stittsville. Specifically, the AGM

will be held at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street on Saturday, Jan. 19, beginning at 12 noon. A dinner prepared by the ladies of Stittsville United Church will be served at noon. This is an opportunity not only for a delicious meal but also provides an opportunity to socialize and chat before the business portion of the AGM gets underway. Cost of the dinner is only $15, with all

Historical Society members urged to attend if possible. However, those planning to attend are asked to indicate your attendance by reserving a ticket by emailing goulbournhistoricalsociety@gmail.com. As for paying for the dinner, you can pay at the door that day. It is important that the Historical Society know how many are planning to attend so that the ladies at the church can prepare the correct amount of food for the dinner.
