Rotary Club members sort food items at Stittsville Food Bank john.curry@metroland.com

“Many hands make light work” is a centuries old proverb saying that more helpers make a task easier. And this was certainly the case at the Stittsville Food Bank on Wednesday morning, Jan. 20 when members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville all lent their hands to sort some of the food items there so that they could then be provided to clients. The Rotary Club members were at the Food Bank to mark the Rotary Clubs Day of Service in which Rotary Clubs through the Rotary District which includes Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, Nunavut and part of New York State all make an effort to help their local food bank or soup kitchen in some way. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville members started off at the Stittsville Food Bank by checking the dates on packages of pasta and then rice. These “best before” dates

must be checked as the Food Bank does not provide to its clients food items with expired “best before” dates. The packages were not only checked for their “best before” date but were then sorted into different plastic bins according to the date. After the pasta and rice packages were all checked for their “best before” date and sorted into an appropriate bin, the Rotary Club members then took on the sorting of soup cans by type of soup e.g. chunky chicken, chunky beef, chicken, beef, etc. These sorted soup cans were then placed in appropriate bins. During all of this checking and sorting, the Rotary Club members were given assistance and help by Theresa Qadri, president of the Stittsville Food Bank; Jo-Anne Ilkiw who is director of inventory for the Food Bank; and Food Bank volunteer Janice Leblanc. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville also presented the Stittsville Food Bank with a monetary donation for school break food supplies for children.

Junior Citizen Award Continued from page 1

Ontario Junior Citizen Awards recognize outstanding youth, aged 6 to 17 years, who are making a difference in their communities by being involved in community service or who are contributing to the community while living with a physical or psychological limitation or who have performed an act of heroism or bravery or who have shown a commitment to making life better for others. Nominations for these annual Ontario Junior Citizen Awards are received from across the province, promoted through the 300 member community newspapers which belong to the Ontario Community Newspapers Association. The recipients represent a diverse group, ranging in age, interests and backgrounds but they all share a common desire to make a difference, representing inspiring stories which illustrate leadership, creativity, determination and generosity. Tysen was excited when he heard that he was one of the recipients this year, admitting that he did not know that he had been nominated. John Curry/Metroland This made the news even more surTysen Lefebvre of Stittsville, giving his trademark prising but he emphasized that he ‘thumbs up’, is one of 12 recipients of the 2015 was most honoured to be one of the recipients of such a provincial Ontario Junior Citizen Awards.

award. Tysen was nominated by a neighbour who is aware of his contribution to the community through his “Mission to a Million” campaign to raise one million dollars for MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario over a five year time frame, enough to enable Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario to grant 100 wishes for children with life threatening medical conditions. The campaign, underway now for a little over two years, has raised over $448,000 to date. This is allowing for 40 wishes to be funded so far. Tysen, who is 15 years old and a grade nine student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, was born with Type 2 Pfeiffer’s Syndrome, a rare genetic disability. He has had over 20 surgeries in his life, starting when he was just nine days old. In 2012, he was granted his own wish which was to meet his favourite actor Adam Sandler. He saw how Adam Sandler gave back and helped others and it turned out to be a life changing experience for himself, resulting in his launching his “Mission to a Million” campaign for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario to ensure that other youth like himself would get their wishes granted.

New ‘Best Buddies’ program John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

“Best Buddies.” It’s a new program at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville that’s living up to its name – it’s creating “best buddies.” It is an initiative that partners students from the school’s “The Bridge” program for special needs students with students from the school’s general population, providing them with an opportunity to form a friendship that might not happen otherwise. Pairs of students involved in this “Best Buddies” program plan activities together for both at the school and outside the school. In addition, there are group activities held which involve all of the students involved in the “Best Buddies” program. Among the students involved with this “Best Buddies” program, which was started this school year, are grade 12 student Erin Smale who is paired with fellow grade 12 student Alex Krause from “The Bridge” program. Another pair involved in the program are grade 12 student Delaney Benson who is paired up with grade seven student Chloe Lawson from “The Bridge.” To launch the program, students who had shown an interest in participating were matched up with students from “The Bridge” who had similar interests. There have been two group activities involving all of the students so far, with another planned. The two activities already held were a trip to Saunders Farm at Munster and a session decorating gingerbread houses. A group outing to go tobogganing at the hill at Walter Baker Park in Kanata will be happening soon. But the “Best Buddies” program is much more than just these group

activities. It is really based on the personal interactions and activities which happen between the two students in each pairing. For example, Erin Smale and Alex Krause have attended an Ottawa Senators game together and plan to go to a movie together soon. They also eat lunch together at times and whenever they see each other in the halls at the school, they chat. Delaney Benson and Chloe Lawson have enjoyed a spa day together. They have also gotten together on a weekend to make homemade pizza. This also included making fries to which Chloe added her favourite condiment – lots and lots of ketchup. They have also gotten together to walk Chloe’s dog and visit a local park. Erin Smale explains that she and Alex have known each other since attending Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville together but the “Best Buddies” program has provided them with an opportunity to hang out together more often. They both admit that it’s a lot of fun. Delaney Benson says that it was when she was taking a human development course and was involved with the students in The Bridge program that she first met Chloe. She says that the two have a lot in common and their pairing has worked out really well. Chloe agrees, saying that being paired with Delaney is “fun.” Erin Smale says that the “Best Buddies” program allows students to make new friends in the school community, developing friendships with fellow students with whom they would not necessarily be friends without the “Best Buddies” program. And Alex Krause perhaps sums it up best when he says: “I love my Best Buddies.”

The OLG is the provincial agency responsible for gaming facilities, the sale of provincewide lottery games, the PlayOLG Internet gaming website and the delivery of bingo and other electronic gaming products at Charitable Gaming Centres across the province. OLG’s annual payments to the province, which have totalled nearly $42 billion over the years since its establishment, help support the operation of hospitals, the prevention and treatment of problem gambling, amateur sport and local and provincial charities.

OPINION

Connected to your community

Thank you for reading, dear readers

f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading this then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re most likely a believer in print newspapers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an admirable trait in these webfocused and fragile economic times, when newspapers are grasping for a toehold to survive staggering losses in subscribers, readers and revenue as the world jumps ship to the Internet. Journalists across the country watched as news broke on Twitter on Jan. 19 that 90 journalists at Sun papers in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, including 12 at the Ottawa Sun, had been axed from the Postmedia newspaper chain, the latest round of deep job cuts in an industry already reeling from recent eliminations at the CBC and CTV. Postmedia chief executive Paul Godfrey explained the downsizing in a staff memo: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As you know, we have announced a cost cutting program aimed at finding at least $80 million in savings before the end of fiscal 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That significant of an initiative requires looking at everything in a new way and considering approaches we have never taken â&#x20AC;&#x201C; truly nothing is off the table. We know that we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make meaningful headway against our challenges without

great effort.â&#x20AC;? And, most obviously, not without extraordinary loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people-wise. A dozen crucial voices gone in a blink from the Ottawa reporting landscape, taking their perspectives and encyclopedic knowledge of their beats with them. No longer digging up the stories our dwindling numbers strive to tell on multiple platforms. Godfrey said in each of those markets, one editor will oversee two newspaper brands, that most newsroom resources will be shared and ... â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stories covered will be adapted by platform at a rewrite desk dedicated to ensuring that the right voice and content makes it to the right brand and platform.â&#x20AC;? The advent of rewrite desks and the silencing of 90 journalists is a tremendous blow, and not only to remaining journalists and sources. Ultimately, the readers lose out. And the trend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether in axe form or buyouts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will continue. So thank you, dear reader, for believing in newspapers, for not just skimming the headlines, and more importantly, for not skipping them altogether. Those of us still working our beats are glad you do.

Living in a city we can easily live with

eople have been having a rollicking good time in the local media fighting over whether Ottawa is as great a city as it should be. I particularly enjoyed Paul Wellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating take in Macleanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (www.macleans.ca/news/canada/ world-class-whine-why-ottawashaters-are-wrong/). If you have lived in Ottawa for a while, you know it all by heart. But you never get tired of it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an essential feature of life in the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. The main arguments should be familiar by now. Ottawa lacks world-class this and world-class that. Ottawa not like Paris, too few good restaurants, museums not up to snuff, crowded road from the airport, Ottawa not like Washington, NAC looks ugly from the

I would argue, as I have argued probably too frequently, that most of the points miss the point. The majority of the great-city arguments are about how Ottawa impresses the visitor, the person from out of town. But a city is, first and foremost, for the people who live in it all year. And many

of the things that make that city great, or not, are invisible to the visitor. The visitor doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the school system, the policing, the snow removal, the recreation program, the garbage pickup, the recycling system. Aside from the road to and from the airport, he has little experience of the traffic or the transit. He sees, or doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see, wide boulevards, big statues, lavish convention facilities and decides that this is a great city, or isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. This would be after he has a five-minute chat with the taxi driver to take the pulse of the community. He has little sense of how ordinary people live.

anywhere near the centre of town. That would be true of Vancouver too, often cited as a great city. Is it a great city if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to live in it? Is it a great city if the streets and bridges leading downtown are clogged? Looked at it this way, Ottawa may well be a greater city than Vancouver. To look at it from another perspective, a visitor might deplore the spread of ugly condo developments in downtown Toronto and deem it unworthy of a great city. And of course we love it when we hear people trash Toronto. Yet those unsightly condo developments enable people of less than huge incomes to live downtown and support stores, restaurants and bars. That canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a bad thing, maybe a great thing, although of no visible impact to someone from out of town. (Another thing that makes Toronto great: competing daily newspapers.)

Predictable as the debate is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s useful to have it from time to time (as we do). It never hurts to discuss what makes a city great, what a city lacks and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lack. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to appreciate what we have and identify what we need. And it helps to pass the time while we wait for LeBreton Flats.

So Joe Brownrigg, also a police officer, might have a challenge in creating a unique niche in the local musical scene if he were just another singing policeman. But while he does fit this bill, he is far more than that as he is also a songwriter, composing songs, many of which flow out of his work as a police officer but also others which flow from family and life experiences. Indeed, he could be known as the “songwriting policeman.” Joe demonstrated his composing and also musical talents at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday, presenting a program comprised largely of his own original storytelling compositions but also including several cover songs by artists who he admits have inspired him. During his performance, he admitted that he likes so-called “old country” music and so it was no surprise that he played a couple of tunes composed by outlaw country artists Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark. He performed “Pancho and Lefty,” a Townes Van Zandt tune that was popularized first by Emmylou Harris and then by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard who scored a number one hit on the Billboard country music charts with it in 1983. He followed this up with his version of “Desperados Waiting for a Train,” a tune written by Texan country singer Guy Clark which helped launch his career and which was made a hit first by American country music singer Jerry Jeff Walker in 1973 and later, in 1985, by the American country music group The Highwaymen. Joe also performed a couple of Bruce Springsteen tunes, calling “The Boss” one of the best at presenting stories and messages in song which is what many of Joe’s own songs do. He performed “The Ghost of Tom Joad,” the title track from Springsteen’s 1995 album of the same name that won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. The album also led to The Ghost of Tom Joad Tour which saw Springsteen perform in mainly small venues from 1995 to 1997. Later in his performance, Joe sang Springteen’s “Youngstown,” a tune from The Ghost of Tom Joad album that told about the rise and fall of the Ohio town over the years. But the vast majority of Joe’s performance featured his own compositions, telling his own stories, whether inspired by his work as a police officer, his family or his faith. These included “Vacation Song,” about

Joe Brownrigg is all ready to perform at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. a family trip to Lake Placid; “Here to Stay,” written for his mother-in-law whose generosity helped him pay his college tuition; “High Water,” a song about a drowning in the Jock River; “Country Stars,” a love song written for his wife which he said was his most popular song; a song about the ghost of Freddie Mercury, a British singer who was lead vocalist for the rock band Queen; “Give Love Back to Me,” contemplating how the devil would ask for forgiveness; “Old Friend of Mine,” a song about a falling out that he had with a musical friend of his; “Your Grace Extends To Me,” a song about God’s grace extending to him; “Hey, Melissa,” one of two songs inspired by encounters with a prostitute as he was working undercover; “Believe in Me,” another love song; “Our Times Will Pass,” one of his recently composed songs; and more. Gaia Java Coffee Company co-owner Paul Jay, in commenting about Joe Brownrigg at the Friday music evening, referred to Joe’s “amazing musicianship” and called it a “fantastic evening,” noting that it was great to hear some of Joe’s new compositions. Joe’s music is readily available by going to his website http://www.joebrownrigg.com/index/ where you can listen to the songs or can download them. One of his CDs is called “The Wild.” It was recorded with the help of a grant from the Ontario Arts Council with the songs telling about his life as a street cop in Ottawa. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop hosts music evenings every Friday starting at 7 p.m. This coming Friday, Jan. 29, the entertainment will be provided by Keli Jay and some of her musical friends. Keli is the daughter of co-owner Paul Jay.

Master Gardener gives four keys to growing vegetables John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Soil, sun, water and maintenance. These are four keys to growing vegetables. Master Gardener Judith Cox, who grows vegetables at Saunders Farm at Munster which are used in the Farm’s restaurant, provided a host of tips about growing vegetables in her presentation “From Pots to Plots” at the monthly meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society on Tuesday, Jan. 19. This was the Society’s first meeting of 2016 and it drew a crowd of over 35 people to the Pretty Street Community Centre. Judith began her one hour presentation by telling her audience that her view about growing vegetables is that since you will end up eating them, you have to be aware of what you are eating in terms of chemicals and fertilizers used in their growing. With regard to soil, she advised that a person get to know the history of his or her property. An oldJohn Curry/Metroland er home, for instance, might face Ian Frei, left, president of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural challenges from the impact of lead Society, is with Master Gardener Judith Cox, right, who was the guest based paint residue affecting the soil or might have a situation where speaker at the Society’s meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 19.

car engine oil was changed in the backyard with some spilling onto the soil. “My biggest bugaboo,” Judith said, was the use of salt to kill weeds. She admitted that it is effective doing that but that salt also kills everything else as well. She says that vinegar or boiling water are better alternatives, as they will kill the weeds but not impact everything else including the soil. She said that sandy soil is great for growing carrots and root vegetables but is not so good for other crops. She said that herbs love rocky soil, as do some vine crops. Sunshine can vary from full sun to full shade. The amount of sunlight determines what vegetables can be grown at a certain spot, Judith said, noting that most vegetable gardens are located in full sun. Vegetables like tomatoes love sunshine. But there are vegetables that thrive in partial shad such as chard, spinach, peas and beans. She noted that carrots can grow in partial sun but they grow slower in such conditions, meaning a later harvest. Judith is an advocate for the use of rain barrels, saying that vegetables prefer rain water. She

noted that a number of organizations conduct rain barrel sales campaigns at times. She told about a water feature that she has in her garden that attracts frogs, toads which eat slugs, birds, butterflies and bees, all looking for a little drink of water. It also gives squirrels a place to drink. This helps the garden because she has found that squirrels, chipmunks and rabbits all tend to eat soft juicy blossoms in the garden because they are thirsty. Having a water feature that provides a drinking spot prevents this behaviour. Judith noted that being away for a while can have an impact on a vegetable garden. That’s why she suggested growing plants that you do not have to fuss with very much. Maintenance of a garden can include watering, pruning, fertilizing, pest control and harvesting. Pruning of tomato plants is determined by whether they are determinate (a set number of blossoms) or indeterminate (keeps making blossoms even if pruned). Indeterminate plants can be pruned because more blossoms will be formed. Pruning allows for air flow and prevents fungus or wilt to occur. See JUDITH COX, page 12

Judith Cox is fan of heritage tomatoes Continued from page 11

Judith is a fan of heritage tomatoes which she admits are prone to disease, require a lot of work, are very soft and do not keep well. But, on the flip side of things, she says that the taste of such heritage tomatoes is “absolutely spectacular.” When planting a tomato plant, she urged that three-quarters of it be planted into the ground. Roots will form all along the stem that is in the ground, ensuring a solid base for the plant. Judith reminded the audience that vegetables are going to be eaten, so they should not have chemicals thrown all over them. She used to use a lot of bone meal but she has found that today’s bone meal contains a lot of filler so she prefers diluted fish emulsion or kelp fertilizer. She encourages the use of compost to get nutrients into the ground.

Judith admitted that organic gardening is difficult due to pest control. Among the pests that affect vegetable gardens are earwigs, slugs, carrot flies, cucumber beetles and animals such as squirrels and bunnies. She called cucumber beetles her “nemesis,” noting that planting radishes helps as their smell tends to keep the beetles away. She said that slugs “are a pain,” but said that having toads around is one solution. Since slugs are very soft bodies, spreading egg shells or sand in the garden can help fight them as well. She said that earwigs overall are not a problem for a vegetable garden but did admit that earwigs seem to love baby carrots. One way to keep squirrels away from a vegetable garden is to spread shreds of the original Irish spring soap around the plants. It seems that squirrels do not like the scent and stay away.

Judith said that spreading newspaper between the rows of a vegetable garden and then putting straw on top of the newspaper is a way to control weeds. She said that weeds compete with plants and so if a person wants to have a healthy garden, some weeding is required. But she added that weeds will not kill vegetable plants and so a gardener should not get overly stressed over their presence. Judith is also a fan of companion planting, saying that plants such as marigolds, calendula and borage add beauty to the garden while also attracting bees and butterflies which eat pests and help with pollination. Calendula is a herbaceous plant whose oil can be used medicinally for healing and anti-inflammatory uses. Borage is an annual flowering herb. Judith said that the use of raised beds is good but such raised beds should have no bottom. She also advised against using pressure treated wood to construct them. She urged using a lot of compost in such beds. Judith said that if a gardener has questions, he or she should talk to other vegetable gardeners. She also noted that the Master Gardeners in the area have a booth at the Carp Farmers Market. In addition, there is a help line to reach Master Gardeners at 613-2360034 which operates on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Birthday becomes opportunity to help others for Sheppard Scott John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A birthday is a time for celebration. For Sheppard Scott of Stittsville, who turned seven years old this week, a birthday celebration involves helping others. And that is just what has happened for every

birthday that he has ever celebrated. Once again this year, Sheppard (“Shep”) turned his birthday party into a food drive for the Stittsville Food Bank, asking his invited friends to arrive with a donation for the Food Bank rather than a present for him. This has been what

Stittsville studios in dance event Special to the News

Two Stittsville dance studios, Allegro Danceworks and Pointe of Grace Dance Company, will have dancers participating in the “Dancers Give Back Ottawa” event. Dancers from more than 20 dance studios throughout the Ottawa region will be involved in this performance event happening on Saturday, Feb. 6 at the Algonquin Commons Theatre in Ottawa. The proceeds from this year’s third annual “Dancers Give Back Ottawa” event are being directed to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa. The inaugural “Dancers Give Back Ottawa” event raised over $13,000 for Candlelighters which provides support to childhood cancer patients and their families. Last year’s event raised over $37,000 for

Do It For Daron which supports mental health initiatives for youth. Dancers will give two performances (2 p.m. and 7 p.m.) on stage at the Algonquin Commons Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 6, with a $25 admission fee for spectators. There are expected to be over 275 performers taking part in these shows. This “Dancers Give Back Ottawa” event will also involve a dance workshop on Friday, Feb. 5 at the Nepean Sportsplex, open to all dancers in the region. There will be four classes offered, all instructed by dance industry leaders. Cost is $50 to participate in this dance workshop. For more information, check out the “Dancers Give Back Ottawa” website at dgbottawa@gmail. com .

has happened ever since his second birthday. On his first birthday, a similar thing happened except that the donations were for the Children’s Aid Society. Both of Sheppard’s parents know the importance of organizations like the Stittsville Food Bank and the Children’s Aid Society (CAS) from lived experience as earlier in life, they had individually received help from the CAS and a food bank.

Turning Sheppard’s birthday celebration into an opportunity to give back to the community was what prompted his parents to launch what has now become a tradition. It has not only helped Sheppard realize the importance of giving back to the community but also provides an opportunity for him to spread the message of giving back to his friends and their families as well. Sheppard and his parents hope that their example might

prompt other youth and their families to use their birthdays as an opportunity for giving as well as receiving. Sheppard, who is in grade one at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville, delivered this year’s donations made at his birthday party to the Stittsville Food Bank last Saturday afternoon. It was a super party with a science theme, made even more significant because it also meant helping out the Stittsville Food Bank.

Put Down the Nextflix: Room on the Broom flies into Ottawa March 20 with puppets galore Have a little Gruffalo lover in your midst? Tall Stories Theatre Company of London’s West End flies Room on the Broom into Centrepointe Theatres on March 20, 2016 for two shows that will thrill the juice box set. Since their successful puppet adaptation of the beloved children’s storybook The Gruffalo, Tall Stories has transformed another award-winning book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler into a colourful spectacle with unique characters that you can’t help but love. True to Axel Scheffler’s illustrations from the book, Room on the Broom’s witch hits the stage in her signature purple skirt accompanied by her tiger-striped cat. The story comes together with a witch, her cat, a dog, frog, bird, dragon and mud monster. Each puppet takes about 120 hours for the designer to build for a total of ten full days of work on each one – and each puppet must be duplicated for the tour! Since the show’s first appearance eight years ago, there have been seven birds, six cats, five witches, and

four dogs, and the countdown continues keeping Tall Stories busy and creative.

creations clean with an ingenious hack: nightly wipe-downs with vodka. Resourceful? Very. Puppets just anyone can DIY? Not even close. The detail and beauty built into these characters will astound anyone who has popped through the puppet pages of Pinterest. There is so much magic in Room on the Broom - flying, fire-breathing and spells have audiences impressed and enchanted. No wonder the production was nominated for an Olivier Award - the British equivalent of a Tony. The show is an ideal family treat for fans of the book, where kids can

discover the magic of theatre in an interactive story full of sing-alongs and laughter. Expect impressive puppetry, original songs, physical storytelling and ignited imaginations. Tall Stories’ brings children theatre productions to life with incredible detail lovingly imparted in each character, transporting kids into the pages of the tale and creating a fantastic reality on stage. After a few months spent snuggled up with your favourite movies and shows, kick off the warmer weather with an afternoon spent out and about. Tickets are still available – www.centrepointetheatres.com

It’s hard to believe the slick dragon costume was initially upcycled from a bike helmet and a pair of Wellies and all the colourful puppets have been created from old tshirts. Meticulous designer Yvonne Stone has also been known to cut up teddy bears and other stuffed toys for her prototypes. From odds and ends to used apparel, these works of art are precious but constantly handled. Tall Stories keeps the

A Tax-Free Fundraiser for family of Michael MeehanSavings who is battling cancer A Tax-Free Account

The upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville was where many people gave a helping hand to the family of young leukemia patient Michael Meehan of Stittsville last Saturday night. This “Layout Out Leukemia” fundraiser, spearheaded

by Peter Vukovic of Stittsville, was held with all proceeds going to the Meehan family as young Michael, a student at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville, battles leukemia for the second time. The funds raised will help the Meehan family with expenses associated with the new special

treatment that Michael will be receiving in Montreal. OHIP will be covering the treatment costs themselves but there are other expenses facing the family related to travel and being in Montreal that are not covered by medical plans. The funds raised at last Saturday’s fundraiser are going towards help-

ing the family deal with these other expenses. The fundraiser at the arena hall last Saturday night featured DJ services provided by Quality Entertainment. Members of the Stittsville District Lions Club handled the bar duties and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qa-

dri helped offset the rental costs of the hall. T-shirts in support of Michael’s fight against leukemia were sold throughout the evening. Michael Meehan was first diagnosed with leukemia in Jan. 2013. Earlier last year, with his cancer officially in remission, Michael was free of treatments. But during a routine blood test in mid-October, doctors discovered that Michael’s leukemia had returned. More chemotherapy sessions at CHEO followed but it was discovered that Michael was not reacting to chemotherapy. That’s why Michael was directed to treatment in Montreal.

U-Rock Music School’s concert John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Twenty-five performances, all solos except one duet. Lots of variety. Two band performances, one by the teen band “The Crushers” and the other the first ever big stage appearance by the new girls only group “The Roxies.” Memorable. Completely living up to its description as a “fabulous show” given by U-Rock Music School’s Cathy Hallessey in her opening remarks at this second annual U-Rock Winter Concert last Sunday afternoon. Priceless. It was two straight hours of musical performances by these students of the U-Rock Music School, some veterans like 17 year old Megan Heslop who now helps instruct the Music School’s young girls group “The Roxies” with singers ranging from ages 6 to 9, 19 year old Andrew Waines, a singer/guitarist who currently is the Music School’s oldest student and 14 year old singer Peri Agate who has been with U-Rock Music School for six years as well as some first-time performers like 11 year old Jessie Wang who sported a wide brimmed hat as she sang “Summertime Sadness,” 12 year old electric guitar player Catherine Hnatiw and 10 year old acoustic guitar player Jada McGuire. But veteran or novice, they all had one thing in common – they performed with vigour, intensity and passion and, most of all, with talent. You had some who just oozed musical

magic. Thirteen year old Abigail Moffitt showed why she made such an impression at last summer’s Canadian National Exhibition’s talent competition as she sang her original song “Sink or Swim,” moving around the stage at the Greenfield’s Pub & Eatery in Barrhaven with the aplomb of a professional performer. Fourteen year old Simone Fisher brought the appeal of musical theatre to the stage with her rendition of “Roxie.” Grace Carrie, 14, perhaps better known as a drummer with U-Rock Music School’s teen band “The Crushers,” showed lots of talent as a singer with the song “When We Were Young.” “Hallelujah,” the song written by Canadian Leonard Cohen which first appeared on his 1984 album “Various Positions” and which since then has become one of the most recorded of songs with over 300 versions recorded, was memorably done by 15 year old Kaitlyn Weatherall, despite her injured forearm that was bandaged and hurting. Sonia Chirila, 9, showed a flair for performing as she sang “X’s & O’s” while you couldn’t help but enjoy the ukulele accompanied vocal performance of “Riptide” by Maddie Gower, 8, and her vivacious presence on stage. And 14 year old Sarah Culbert showed why she won the Carleton Place Farmers Market talent competition in 2015 with her rendition of “I Found a Boy,” sung for her aunt. See ‘THE CRUSHERS’, page 19

‘The Crushers’ and ‘The Roxies’ perform at concert along with a little help from Cathy Hallessey of the U Rock Music School who helped Teyah out with some verbal prompts from her front row seat at the foot of the stage where she was serving as the announcer for the concert. So every individual performance had its own attraction, its own allure, combining to make it a concert of memorable entertainment for all who attended. You had Aidan MacLeod, 10, who only began at the U-Rock Music School last September, playing the guitar and singing “Kid in Love”; Avery Stone, 9, singing “All That Matters”; Samantha Clarke, 14, singing “Sk8er Boi”; Daven Braumberger, 7, singing “Fight Song”; Nessa Coughlan, 11, doing a drum solo “Boulevard of Broken Dreams”; the duo of Kye Guembes, 12, and Madison Caron, also 12, presenting a guitar instrumental duet; eight year old Niklas Stathos who sang and played the electric guitar while also finishing up with some dance moves; Sophie John Curry/Metroland Gower, 10, who presented the only Simone Fisher sings “Roxie” French song in the concert, “On est as she performs at the U-Rock La”; Micaela Egan, 13, who sang Music School’s winter concert last “Locked Away”; and 13 year old Jasmine Beavis who sang Taylor Sunday. Continued from page 18

Teyah DeVries, 12, showed perseverance and courage as she sang “Because of You,” a song that she had only learned on the previous Monday, forcing her to use her cell phone to try to follow the words,

Swift’s “Safe & Sound.” This was not Jasmine’s only performance in the concert because she was also a member of the teen band “The Crushers” which opened the concert with two songs, “Renegades” and “Drag Me Down.” Members of “The Crushers” are Grace Carrie, 14, drums; Sarah Culbert, 14, vocals; Jasmine Beavis, 13, vocals; Kate Magnan, 14, vocals; Andrew Waines, 19, lead guitar; and instructor Brian Brodersen, bass guitar. About midway through the concert, the U-Rock Music School’s girls only vocal band took over the stage and the crowd’s heart, wowing the audience with two songs, “Shake It Off ” and “Turn Up the Music.” Members of this vocal band, “The Roxies,” are Aloe Bates, 6; Alexa Henderson, 6; Cameron Corbin, 7; Brooke Sloan, 7; Livia Villeneuve, 7; Giorgia Leonforte, 8; Chelsea Spence, 8; and Emma Moffitt, 9. U-Rock Muisic School students who were not able to perform in this winter concert included Caitlin Holmes, Maggie Pifer, Kelly Hatton, Aidan Kratt, Liam Marelic, Graham Strachan, Emma Remus, Phinley Agate, Makenna Martin,

Grace Murphy, Noah Raftis, Lindsay Cote, Milla Ellison, Amelia Ewald, Liam Henderson, Tiana Henderson, Hailey Malloch, Avalon Ellison, Avery Bailey, Liam Welsh, Savannah Von Teichman, Kiley Sass, Kiara Marsden, Jacob Finlayson, Jorie Finlayson, Mathieu Gougeon, Nika Gainford, Ryan Slater, Olivia Quinlan, Lucas Leblanc, Izaia Cral, Briana Kelford and Aiden McKim. The U-Rock Music School in Stittsville (www.u-rockschool.com) offers private instruction in pop/ rock vocals, acoustic, electric and bass guitar, drums and ukulele. Youth can also be part of the URock band in which students learn song selection, writing music, using professional gear, sound and lighting basics and play for a live audience. The Roxies are a new all girl singing and performance group for students between the ages of 6 and 10 years old. These band/group experiences are additional commitments for those students who wish to be involved with them. They are above and beyond any private instruction. The U-Rock Music School also offers group lessons for youth aged 6 and 7 years old in its U-Rock

Kidz program. This program offers a fun and social way to get children tuned in to the joy of music. The U-Rock Music School is operated by Cathy Hallessey and Brian Brodersen. For more information, please contact Cathy Hallessey at 613-457-5064.

Viennese cafe on Feb. 7 Special to the News

Brian Brodersen, right, standing, of the U-Rock Music School sets up the microphone for performer Niklas Stathos, left, seated, at the Music School’s winter concert last Sunday.

You don’t have to travel to Austria to enjoy an elegant Viennese café. You can experience the light classical music and treats like sachertorte, linzertorte or apfelstrudel simply by attending “An Afternoon in Austria” café concert being put on by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 7. It is all happening right at the nearby Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road near Huntmar Drive.

In addition, the group will be performing at the Salzburg Cathedral and at other venues in the Salzburg region. The group will also perform in two concerts in Prague, joining forces with local musicians. This “An Afternoon in Austria” Viennese café concert is a fundraiser for this trip to Europe by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers adult choir. Admission for the concert is $25 per person or $10 for children under 12 years of age,. The admission includes the concert, coffee or tea and a choice of a Viennese café treat, all home made by bakers from the choir.

West Carleton Country Knitters donate items to local charities John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Knitting with others, a social outing. Lots of fun. Knitting or crocheting whatever items you want, recycling donated yarn. Awesome. And donating these knitted or crocheted items to local charities. Priceless. But this is what the West Carleton Country Knitters, a group formed in 2009, does. Indeed, the group has grown over the years so that there are now both a North group from the Carp/Dunrobin area and a South group centred in the Stittsville/Kanata area. Indeed, Mary Hyland of Stittsville is the leader of this South group. The West Carleton Country Knitters was formed in 2009 to be a local social group of people wishing to knit or crochet for the benefit of others needing warm clothing or coverings, using donated yarn. The group provides its knitted or crocheted items to charities. The group makes no demands on its members regarding quantity of work, with group members knitting or crocheting when they want and when they have the time. There is even one part of the group which cannot attend the regular bi-weekly Monday afternoon meetings and knit and crochet on their

own at home, with the yarn provided by the group. These are called the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Knitters.â&#x20AC;? The West Carleton Country Knitters has three aims: to provide warm knitted or crocheted items to chosen charities; to work with donated yarn which means unwanted or forgotten about yarn becomes recycled and useful; and enjoying the company of others in the group. Each group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North and South â&#x20AC;&#x201C; works independently. Both groups are always open to having new members join, whether experienced or novice knitters or crocheters. Members always help each other and so new members do not even have to know how to knit â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you will soon learn how thanks to the instruction and advice of other members. Patterns are readily shared between members. The group has its own extensive and varied supply of patterns which are available for members to use. In addition, there is a knitters website where free patterns are available. More members means that more items can be created and then donated to the charities. Items created have included slippers, hats, mitts, gloves, scarves, baby outfits, baby blankets, sweaters, afghans, tea cosies, dish clothes and more.

In 2015, the West Carleton Country Knitters (North and South groups) donated over 1,000 items to various charities. Yarn used for these items is all donated. Many people have unused yarn tucked away at home and willingly donate it to the West Carleton Country Knitters, knowing itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going for a good cause. The yarn that is donated must be clean and usable and preferably in whole or nearly whole balls. This results in a lot of yarn that is going unused being used â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is recycling at its best. Knitting needles that are in good condition are also donated at times to the group. The group usually focuses its efforts on a few charities at one time but a number of charities have been helped over the years. Charities which have received or are receiving knitted or crocheted items from the West Carleton Country Knitters include Chrysalis House, a Kanata shelter for abused women and their children which needs slippers, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweaters, hats, mitts, scarves, knitted toys and shawls; the Young Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Emergency Shelter which needs hats, mitts and scarves for young women aged 16-21 years; Garden Terrace, a seniors residence in Kanata, which can use afghans, lap blankets, bed jackets, mitts, scarves and hats; the Elizabeth Fry Society which operates Norwood House, a 15-bed transition home for women and their children whose needs include hats, mitts, scarves and slippers; the Ottawa Mission Hospice which is a non-profit, faith

based organization serving the homeless and those at risk of being homeless needs lap blankets, hats and mitts; Operation Come Home which works with street-involved youth has needs such as mittens, hats, scarves and socks; Nelson House, a shelter for abused women and children in Nepean, needs sweaters, baby blankets, hats, mitts, scarves and slippers; Youville Centre which serves young single mothers has received baby blankets, scarves, hats and knitted items for toddlers; Cornerstone Housing for Women which provides emergency shelter and support for women has received womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mitts, hats, scarves and sweaters; Debra Dynes Family House, a multi-service community resource in a low income social housing area, needs mitts, scarves, dish cloths, blankets, baby jackets and slippers; Granite Ridge Care Community, a long term care home in Stittsville, has received afghans for senior residents; Country Haven and Forest Hill, both seniors residences, have received afghans, lap blankets, bed jackets, mitts, scarves and hats; the Kanata Food Cupboard, an emergency food bank serving Kanata; and Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oven in Manotick, a non-profit cafĂŠ run by seniors which received tea cosies.

2016 will see new president for Historical Society John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Goulbourn Township Historical Society will have a new president in 2016. Barbara Bottriell, who has been president for the past six years, formally stepped down as president at the Society’s annual general meeting in Ashton last Saturday afternoon. She will be remaining on the Board of Directors as the immediate past president. At the annual general meeting, a special presentation of a book and a bottle of wine was made to Barbara Bottriell as a token of appreciation for all of her work as president of the Society. Just who will be the new president will be determined when the Board of Directors, which had four new or

February 6 & 7, 2016

returning members elected at the annual general meeting, holds its February meeting. Those elected by acclamation to the Board of Directors at last Saturday’s annual general meeting were Robin Derrick, a former president; Lynne Blenk who was the vice-president in 2015; Lee Boltwood, who was re-elected as a director; and new Board member Bob Halberstadt. Bob Halberstadt is interested in local history and through his historical research has discovered that he is related by marriage to Jackson Stitt, Stittsville’s first postmaster, through his daughter Matilda. His research skills honed through doing family history for ten years proved useful when he helped with land title research for the Historical Society during the past year. He has both photographic and video expertise, writing skills and sales, marketing and business administration experience as well as a knowledge of computer programs. Others on the Board of Directors who were not up for election this year include Irene O’Grady and Liz Hobbs, both of whom are entering the third year of a threeyear term. Liz Hobbs is new to the Board of Directors, having been appointed to replace John Brummell who resigned in 2015 due to work pressures. Elizabeth Hobbs, a recent graduate of Queens University where she studied politics and history, has an interest in history at the local level and is looking forward to doing research and writing for the Historical Society. Also continuing on the Board of Directors, entering the second year of a three year term, are Debbie Proulx, who has been the treasurer,

and Shaun Peppy who has replaced Barry McGinnis on the Board. Shaun, a resident of Richmond, is a local history and heritage enthusiast. He is involved with the Richmond 200th anniversary committee. In 2015, the Historical Society lost the services of Rev. Jim Kirkpatrick, its long time secretary, who relocated from Christ Church Ashton to a parish in the Renfrew area. In her president’s report at the meeting, Barbara Bottriell noted that in 2015 the Society completed the digitization of its social history files. She noted that the Society did not have any new publications in 2015 but it was noted that John Desmarais’ book “Camping with the Holy Spirit” about the history of the Holiness Movement/Methodist Campgrounds in Stittsville had sold out in 2015. The book had been published in 2014. In 2015 the Society also completed some basic research on houses of historic interest on Fernbank Road, Flewellyn Road and Mansfield Road. Two researchers had been hired to collect basic land title information. It was also pointed out that the Society’s photo competition accepted only digital entries in 2015 but there were over 60 entries. In 2015, the Society also had a number of meetings with guest speakers and also held a Heritage Day event in Richmond, took part in Heritage Day celebrations at Ottawa city hall and organized a bus trip to Kingston to view the onetime home of Sir John A. Macdonald, among other things. The Society also published four newsletters during the year.

Goulbourn Historical Society to provide input on proposed street name changes in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is going to be providing input to the city of Ottawa on six proposed street name changes in Stittsville. Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell made this commitment at the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting last Saturday at the conclusion of a discussion about the issue. The streets which may have their names changed due to duplication with other street names in the city of Ottawa

include Walker Road, Bell Street, Goulbourn Street, Elm Crescent, Long Meadow Way and Meadowland Drive. A prime consideration for the city of Ottawa in determining if a streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name will be changed versus a similarly named street is the number of residents living on the street. Historical relevance of the name of the street is also a consideration. Three of the street names in Stittsville proposed for re-naming have an historical significance. Walker Road is named after one of the first settlers to the area. Bell

Street is named after William Bell, one of Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20th century entrepreneurs. Goulbourn Street bears the name of Goulbourn township, the municipality in which Stittsville was located prior to the 2001 amalgamation process which created the current city of Ottawa. At the Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt commented that there have been situations in the past where the name of the street with fewer residents on it has been retained due to local cir-

cumstances. He said that community input can have a lot of weight in such decisions, noting that street name changes are not always decided by just how many residents are impacted by a name change. Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell suggested at the meeting that while the Historical Society will be providing input to the city of these proposed street name changes in Stittsville, she said that individual residents are certainly encouraged as well to make submissions about the proposed street name changes.

Steady membership in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;15 Historical Society meetings Special to the News

Membership in the Goulbourn Township Historical Society stayed relatively steady in 2015. Historical Society membership chair Robin Derrick reported at the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting last Saturday that the Society had 116 members in 2015. He said that this was just below the 121 members of the previous year. He said that there were 17 new members among these 116 members. This number of new members is one of the higher numbers in recent years. At its annual general meet-

ing last Saturday, the Historical Society changed its membership bylaw to make an annual membership fee cover the period from Feb. 1 to Jan. 31 of the following year, with the membership fee due by Feb. 1 of each year. Up until now, membership fees were due on April 1. The change makes the membership year more closely aligned with the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal year which is the calendar year. Extending the due date until the end of January allows for payment of membership fees at the Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual general meeting which is traditionally held in January of each year.

the “Three Amigos.” The three Lions are different colours with the colours signifying the character of the particular lion. Kungfu Bistro has a blue lion representing friendship. Last year this lion was on duty near the entrance to welcome people and that’s why he is called “Friendly.” Kungfu Bistro also has a black/ red lion called “Tuff ” and a golden lion called “Royal.”

Red bricks had many stories to tell

MARY COOK Memories Father said he had no recollection of how the red bricks came to us on the farm in Northcote. They were always there. And yes, they served just about the same purpose as they did since he was a little boy. He said they could probably have come from a building that was being built many years ago, such as the big red brick house beside Briscoe’s General Store, where the family lived for generations. “If there were bricks laying around, and not being used, you could have them, I guess,” he said. And no, he doubted any money changed hands. I accepted that explanation of how red bricks got to us when there wasn’t a building on our entire farm that wasn’t made of logs or boards. But they were certainly put to good use by our family. They were mostly used in the wintertime. Always a couple sat on the reservoir at the back of the stove, as Mother said “just in case”. The “just in case” meant we needed a quick warm up for freezing feet on a bitterly cold day. And if there wasn’t something cooking in the oven of the Findlay Oval, it wasn’t unusual to see a couple bricks heating

up inside. If we were still wearing our stockings, there was no need to wrap the bricks in a heavy towel. We just put our stockinged feet right on the hot bricks and got immediate warmth. Of course, we never went anywhere in the cutter or on the sleigh without hot bricks wrapped many times in the Renfrew Mercury and placed under our galoshescovered feet. Hot bricks warmed our beds at night. How I loved to crawl between the feather ticking that covered us, and the feathered mattress, and know that the bricks had warmed the bed first! There was one brick that never touched the floor. This one was scrubbed clean and sat on the bake table and was wrapped in cheesecloth. It was used to hold down anything we ate that needed to be “pressed” as Mother called it. And then there were the bricks that served as doorstops. The ones in the shed and the back summer kitchen were minus their corners from being kicked into place over decades. But the two bricks that caught my fancy the most was the one that sat at the back

door in the kitchen, and the one at the door in the parlour. Both of them were door stops, but because they were the first thing a visitor saw when coming into our house, you would never, at first glance, know they were bricks. Someone had crocheted covers for these two bricks. They were made of bright red and green wool. As Mother said, the crocheted brick covers gave a bit of status (a word I had never heard of before), to two very ordinary necessities: door stops. Like so many other ordinary things put to good use on the farm, bricks coming to us from goodness knows where, served a purpose. And when they were put at my feet, I wondered how many toes had touched them before me, and I would look at the covered brick at the back door, and marvel at the number of visitors who had passed beside it, and how often a foot had moved it out of the way to hold open a door on a farm that generations before me had called home.

It all happens on Tuesday, Feb. 9 which is Shrove Tuesday. And one place to enjoy a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper is at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on Mc-

Bean Street in Richmond. This Shrove Tuesday pancake supper will run from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 9, with everyone welcome to attend. There will not only be lots of pancakes but also back bacon, sausages, baked beans and apple crisp, along with tea, coffee or juice. And the cost will only be $10 for adults, $5 for children aged 6 to 10 years and free for those five years old and under.

For tickets, please call Kaye at 613-838-5432 and leave a message. Shrove Tuesday, which is also called Pancake Tuesday in some countries, is marked on the day before the first day of Lent which is Ash Wednesday. Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday are both moveable days on the calendar, determined by when Easter happens. Indulging in food that one sacrifices for the upcoming 40 days of Lent is associ-

ated with Shrove Tuesday. Pancakes are associated with Shrove Tuesday because they are a way of using up rich

foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting associated with Lent. It has become a common

practice in Canada to eat pancakes on the day before Ash Wednesday which is Shrove or Pancake Tuesday.

Richmond Village Refugee Welcome is looking for housing Special to the News

Things are moving quickly for the new Richmond Village Refugee Welcome (RVRW) group. RVRW has entered the stage of the process of choosing a refugee family and preparing for its arrival in the community. Indeed, this could happen within four to six weeks. With things moving so fast, RVRW’s top priority right now is housing. There are limited rental accommodations available in Richmond. RVRW representations have visited some of the few advertised rental properties in the community. But RVRW is now seeking out anyone who is aware of any rental property that may not be currently advertised, asking that RVRW be made aware of the situation by sending a message to its Facebook page (Richmond Village Refugee Welcome) or to its website at www.richmondvillagerefugeewelcome.ca . RVRW is looking for a two-bedroom rental unit that could house a small family. A one year lease is needed. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. RVRW is willing to consider rental units that are located up to a 20 minute drive away from Richmond. This would include communities like Stittsville, Kanata, Bells Corners and Barrhaven. And there’s also lots of opportunities to get involved with this effort to help a refugee family find a new life in Canada. There is a RVRW fundraising meeting being held this Saturday, Jan. 30 at 10 a.m. at the Baker’s Bean shop on Perth Street in Richmond. Everyone is welcome to attend. In addition, there is a general information meeting for the community being hosted by RVRW on Wednesday, Feb. 3 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Philip’s Parish Hall at the corner of Fortune Street and Burke Street in Richmond. There will be reports on housing, volunteers and fundraising. Richmond Village Refugee Welcome (RVRW) was

recently able to apply for recognition as a sponsorship group. That’s because the group was able to prove that it has $5,000 to $7,000 in the bank thanks to a recently received donation of $5,000 that has allowed the group to reach this required financial status. Also on the agenda for RVRW is the assembling of a team of people who will actually prepare for the arrival of the refugee family that will be welcomed to the Richmond community. This team of supporters will prepare for the arrival of this new Canadian family and will coordinate the myriad of details involved in helping this refugee family settle in the community. This will include arranging for dental and medical

care, language training and education as well as helping the new family get used to a new culture and surroundings in Canada. RVRW recently held a meeting at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church hall in Richmond, attended by two dozen or so people. Four different churches in Richmond were represented by clergy and parishioners. The United Churches in Munster and Ashton also had representatives at the meeting. All of the schools in Richmond were represented at the meeting by teachers and parents. And also at the meeting were a number of individuals who want to help in this refugee project as they have been moved by the humanitarian catastrophe

that continues to unfold in the Middle East. The Canadian government is currently facilitating the immigration to Canada of families from Syria. At the meeting, a guest speaker who had recently returned from Lebanon gave a moving description of what life is like in the refugee camps there. RVRW has a Facebook page at www. facebook.com/groups/RichmondVillageRefugeeWelcome. Donations can be made to RVRW by making cheques payable to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church with “Refugee Sponsorship” added at the bottom of the cheque. Income tax receipts can be provided for donations over $20.

Question: I recently changed roles at work. My new title is “Accounts Manager” and I am responsible for all the company’s accounts payable and receivable. I also help other staff price our products and develop new accounts. I am very happy about my new role but my job used to be “9 to 5” and now I have to work late and on weekends. I asked my boss about overtime but was informed that managers and supervisors do not receive overtime pay. Is this true?

Double digits in Town League John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

For most employees in Ontario overtime hours start after 44 hours of work in a week. For every hour worked in excess of 44 hours an employee is supposed to receive time and a half. Under the Employment Standards Act there are exceptions to the general rule including that managers and supervisors do not receive any overtime compensation. For this “manager exception” to apply an employee generally needs to be performing work that involves the supervision of other employees in a leadership role as opposed working in general administrative duties. Also, the exempt employee must be working in the manager role the majority of the time

while at work - not just every now and then. The fact that someone’s job title includes the word “manager” or “supervisor” does not determine their entitlement to overtime pay. Rather, it depends on what the actual duties of the employee are. Although many job titles, such Accounts Manager, include the word “manager” this does not necessarily mean you don’t get overtime pay. If your job does not involve supervising other employees this is a good indication that you may be entitled to overtime compensation.

Coffee house raises funds to help out in Peru John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Making music to make a difference in Peru. This was what happened at St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond last Saturday evening as a coffee house was held to raise funds for the Peru Mission initiative that is supported by the St. Philip and St. Clare churches. Funds raised at this Peru Mission coffee house will help send as many children as possible in several communities in Peru to Bible camp. In recent years and again this summer, a contingent of adults and youth from St. Philip and St. Clare travel to Peru with pastor Rev. Bob Poole to help out in several communities in Peru. The coffee house, for which Brian McSheffrey served as MC, featured a number of performers, starting off with the pair of Stephanie and Sean Murphy, with Stephanie handling the vocals and Sean accompanying her on the guitar. Among their musical offerings were “These Boots Are Made For Walking,” the 1966 pop hit by Nancy Sinatra; “What a Wonderful World,” the 1967 song by American jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong; and “Stand By Your Man,” the 1968 Tammy Wynette song that has become one of the most recorded songs in country music history. Carrie-Lynn Gahan, a fiddler from Smiths Falls, got the audience clapping with couple of rousing fiddle tunes. Ewa Mountain, another performer from Smiths Falls, sang a song in Spanish and then was joined by her friend Colleen McSheffrey of Richmond for an a cappella duet, after which Colleen played “Think of Me” from The Phantom of the Opera on her flute.

Ewa then took over again, singing “Boston and St. John’s,” a tune associated with the Canadian folk rock band Great Big Sea. The coffee house wrapped up with a performance by singer/guitarist Brendan Sheridan from Lakefield, ON who not only performed alone, singing “Folsom Prison Blues,” the 1955 hit for the iconic Johnny Cash which was one of his signature songs, as well as an Irish song, but also was then joined by his wife Sally for a duet. He then was joined by his friend Adam McSheffrey of Richmond with his Irish bodhran drum as together they played a number of Irish songs. Brendan then finished up the program with John Denver’s 1971 hit “Take Me Home, Country Roads” which became his signature song, and with “Wagon Wheel,” a song associated with the Old Crow Medicine Show, an American string band. Before the beginning of the coffee house, Rev. Bob Poole told those at the event that the Peru Mission, in which he has participated now for 11 years, involves bringing the “good news” to the poorest in that country, adding that those involved with the Peru Mission go to places in Peru where no tourist would go. He said that going back to the communities in Peru year after year shows the people there that there are people who care about them. This year’s Peru Mission trip will run from July 29 to Aug. 12. Those on these trips take along with them items such as shoes, clothing toiletries, toys and more to give to those in Peru. Even the luggage in which these items are carried are donated to families who use them for cupboards in their homes. Shoes that are donated to families in Peru ended up being passed down from child to child. This coffee house included a number of draw prizes. Those attending purchased tickets which were then deposited in bags associated with a curtain prize. Draws were then made from the tickets in each bag, with the holder of the winning ticket winning the prize. This prize draw was made possible thanks to the generosity of various local businesses as well as that of St. Philip and St. Clare parishioners. The prizes included a gift basket from King’s Your Independent Grocer; a Milano Pizza gift certificate along with some Lego donated by parishioners; a golf umbrella donated by the TD Bank in Richmond along with a gift certificate from the Case Di Zia Mia restaurant in Richmond as well as a bottle of wine provided by parishioners; a $50 gift certificate from the LCBO

donated by parishioners; two $25 gift certificates from Royals Restaurant in Richmond; a $30 gift certificate from the Chin Hon Restaurant in Richmond plus two jigsaw puzzles donated by parishioners; and a $20 gift certificate from My Thai Restaurant in Richmond plus a bottle of wine donated by parishioners. Lots of yummy deserts and treats were provided at the coffee house. Indeed, there were so many that on

leaving for home, anyone could get a plateful of these goodies while paying only one dollar for them. There were bowls of chips and munchies on the tables and bags of popcorn and dishes of ice cream were available, with Rev. Poole and Deacon Louis Seward scooping up the chocolate or vanilla ice cream from giant tubs. Coffee and tea were also available. All of this was included in the price of admission to the coffee house.

School is barely out before it’s time to start the kids at day camp. All summer long, they will be able to do a variety of activities, go on group outings, and make lots of new friends. Here are a few tips to help your children enjoy this enriching experience, which they are sure to remember for the rest of their lives. First of all, it’s possible that your children will feel a little nervous about going to camp, especially if it’s their first time. Reassure them by describing all the activities that will be organized throughout the summer, emphasizing the ones you know they’ll prefer. Remind them that this is a perfect opportunity to experience wonderful adventures with other children of the same age. On the first day of camp, start them off on the right foot by giving them a good breakfast. They can take their own lunches and snacks or they can buy food if a cafeteria is available. Be careful of allergies — some camps, just like schools, ban peanuts. Every evening before bedtime, invite your children to participate in the preparation of their backpacks. Make sure they pack sun-

Prepare your children’s backpacks with them. Pack sunscreen, a hat, a sweater and a good pair of shoes. screen, a hat or baseball cap, and a good pair of shoes. As most camps have swimming in their programs, ensure they also include a swimsuit, towel, and a change of clothing. Some pools require swim caps to be worn. You might also be re-

quired to supply life vests or swim floats if your children need them. Last but not least, go over basic safety rules with your children, and be sure to tell them to have a good time. After all, day camp is the perfect place to create unforgettable memories.

Kanata Rhythmic Sportive Gymnastics Club Many specialized science camps now exist with a wide range of activities on the menu. physics, computer sciences, or archaeology. For parents who feel that their children may suffer from an academic overdose, they should realize that a camp is considered to be specialized if they offer two hours of a specific subject every day. That means

there’s plenty of time during the rest of the day to have fun and run off some energy. Because summer camps are increasingly popular these days, it is important to register early to get a place, no matter what interests your child may have.

Being in a stimulating environment and being surrounded by enthusiastic experts are the greatest motivators for children to spend time at summer camp. That is why so many specialized camps are now available, and there’s certainly no shortage of choice for budding scientists. When children are passionate about a subject it is very important to encourage them. Sciences take up only a very small part of school curriculums, so young science fans are ecstatic when they are given the chance during their summer vacations to deepen their knowledge, carry out experiments and see a whole new world of discovery opening up before their eyes. Many specialized science camps now exist and offer a wide range of activities connected to this fascinating subject. Workshops, demonstrations, group activities and experiments are always on the menu. These science camps often concentrate on very specific areas such as astronomy,

Important role for summer camps Special to the News

Summer camps fulfil an important role in a child’s development as well as providing an opportunity for a fun-filled experience. Dr. Agatha E. Sidlauskas, founder of the Venta Preparatory School near Carp, and Marilyn Mansfield, the school’s principal, both believe that the traditional ten month school year of September to June makes no sense in today’s modern society. This school schedule was established when children were needed to help on the family farm and help to bring in the harvest. However, today’s society is primarily urban and the help of children on farms is no longer required. The two months of school vacation now are simply eight weeks of unscheduled free time for youth. That’s why summer camps have emerged as a popular way of keeping children busy during the school holidays. The benefits of a well-run summer camp program are invaluable if they are well planned and structured. This means that the activities, while being fun, are also building skills and fostering positive social and emotional growth and learning. Interacting with others in a well-run sum-

mer camp gives children a chance to learn respect for others, teamwork, kindness and honesty while also having fun. Skills learned at summer camp can be transferred to the classroom during the regular academic year. Attendance at a summer camp program teaches children to work together more cooperatively, to resolve conflicts more effectively, to assume great responsibility and to become more self-reliant and self-confident. Summer camp is one of the few places where children can experience and satisfy their need for physical activity, creative expression and true participation in a safe environment. At camp children learn about living, working and playing together and making positive contributions to others. Going to a summer camp gives a child much more than a vacation. Living, playing and sharing adventures together help the child develop into a healthy, physically fit and productive child. At a summer camp children gain selfconfidence and self-esteem while learning the social skills of positive interaction that will stay with them for a lifetime. These new skills will allow them to become more successful in school and in other activities in their lives.

Richmond Curling Club rink nearly wins 2016 Masters title John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

A Richmond Curling Club rink just missed out on winning the 2016 Tim Hortons Masters Women’s Provincial Curling Championship. The rink consisted of skip Jennifer Langley, third Brenda Moffitt, second Sue-Ann Blakely and lead Shirley Reddick. The rink compiled a record of five wins and two losses in the seven draws of the competition which was held at the Midland Curling Club in Midland from Wednesday, Jan. 6 to Sunday, Jan. 10. The championship was then decided in a tiebreaker match against the Anne Dunn rink from the Galt Country

Club, with the Richmond rink losing this eight-end match by a 6-4 score. The winner of the Tim Hortons Masters Women’s Provincial Curling Championship will represent Ontario at the 2016 Canadian Open Masters Championships which will be held from April 2 to April 10 in Nova Scotia. Tim Hortons has been the title sponsor of the Tim Hortons Masters Provincial Curling Championships for 15 years now. The overall responsibility for this championship rests with the Ontario Curling Association, an association of curling clubs formed in 1875 and currently boasts a membership of 193 curling clubs with about 55,000 registered adult members and 7,000 registered junior members.

COWELL, Roy –In loving memory of a dear Dad and Papa, 1923-2015 A heart of gold stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest, Part of me went with you, To me you are the best.

Remembering our last words together When we said farewell. Love you forever Dad Sadly missed Your daughter Bonnie Son-in-law Roger Joe (Sam), Julie A million hugs and kisses

IN MEMORIAM

GRACEY, Elwin – In memory of our dear husband, father, grandpa and great grandpa who passed away one year ago today January 28, 2015. We often sit and think about the year that has gone by. And all the happiness and joy we shared until we said goodbye. We think about you always, we reminisce about you too. We have so many wonderful memories but all we really want is you. We think of all the laughter, the smiles and all the fun, And before we even know it, the tears have begun. For although it brings us comfort to walk down memory lane, It reminds us how, without you, life has never been the same. Forever loved, sadly missed and always remembered by Shirley, Sheila, Arnold, Korey, Laura and great grandson Griffin

Open mic night in Richmond John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Open mic nights are opportunities where any musician/singer can perform. They simply put their name on the sign-up list when they arrive and then take to the performance area when the name comes up on the list. This is how it works at the monthly open mic nights at the Richmond Curling Club lounge on Perth Street in Richmond, organized by Andrew McKim of Richmond. Attendance at these open mic nights is also free of charge – anyone who wants can drop in and enjoy the musical performances which go on non-stop from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Last Friday’s open mic night at the Richmond Curling Club saw 12 musicians/groups sign up to perform. Among them was “The Think Tones,” a group comprised of Brant Maahs, Luke Quesnel, Bryon Fevens and drummer Yvon Lavoie.

These open mic nights are made possible oh, by the way, the downstairs bar at the Richmond Curling Club is open at this time, thanks to the sponsorship of King’s Your not only to accommodate the curlers coming Independent Grocer, Tiffany Fisher of Royal off the ice but also to serve a refreshment or LePage Gale Real Estate and the Richmond Curling Club. For Luke Quesnel, a guitarist and singer, two to open mic night fans. this was his first public performance. And for the other members of the group, it was just their third appearance at these open mic nights in Richmond. And, if one performer or group is not your kind of music, just wait a while and there will be another performer there. That’s because at these open mic nights, a performer or group presents three songs and then it’s usually on to the next performer on the list. There’s always lots of variety as well as lots of talent, whether by first time performers or by long time performers. And while these open mic nights are free to attend, those attending are always urged to take along a food donation for the Richmond Food Bank. John Curry/Metroland The next open mic night at the Richmond Performing at the open mic at the Richmond Curling Club lounge in Richmond last Friday Curling Club lounge will take place on Fri- are members of “The Think Tones,” from left, Brant Maahs, Luke Quesnel and Bryon day, Feb. 19 at 8 p.m. Everyone is welcome to Fevens, to the right, behind. Drummer Yvon Lavoie is in the background, left, behind attend and enjoy an evening of music. And, Brant.

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 All that hard work you have been putting in will finally start to pay off, Taurus. It’s quite possible you will receive some good news soon.
