Free public skating on weekends thanks to Royal Bank

Helping Nancy in her fight

John Curry

News - There’s no bigger Ottawa Senators fan in Stittsville than Nancy Therrien of Stittsville Glass & Signs, as evidenced by the “Go, Sens, Go” displays which are mounted at her urging at the front of the business along Stittsville Main Street beside Village Square at playoff time each season. And there is also now no one fighting a greater health battle than Nancy who has been diagnosed with a form of lung cancer and is now undergoing extensive and expensive treatments to try to halt its spread and return her to good health. Paying for some of the additional shots and pills that she requires to fight her form of lung cancer has been a concern for Nancy and her husband Luc. Donations made to a bank account set up last December at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road have helped and continue to help. Now Giant Tiger in Stittsville has come on board to help with the fundraising to provide Nancy with the resources required to successfully battle her cancer. Beginning last weekend and continuing for a couple of weeks, the Giant Tiger store in the Jackson Trails Plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street is collecting donations to help Nancy Therrien. Cashiers at the store are asking customers if they wish to make a donation to help the cause, suggested at two dollars but any amount is welcome.

It’s all part of a three year commitment worth $200,000 that will see the Royal Bank support free public skating in the city’s 33 arenas on Saturdays and Sundaysat all scheduled free skates from January through April and from September through December. In addition, children will benefit from the “RBC Try It Out! Skating Animation Program� which includes 25 hours per week of basic instructional and organized recreational skating that will be available at a number of public skating locations. Last Friday the Royal Bank on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville was a sea of blue as staff were wearing blue Royal Bank jerseys promoting this new free public skating on weekends initiative. Manager Rick Langford said that staff will probably wear these blue jerseys for a couple more Fridays to create awareness of and promote this new free public skating on weekends initiative. Manager Langford noted that this initiative, which is only happening in the city of Ottawa, fits in with the Royal Bank’s continuing commitment to help children and families be healthier, happier and more active. The Royal Bank has made a five year, $100 million “Believe in kids Pledge� that is aimed at improving the well being of one million children. This new free public skating on weekends at city arenas program was launched at a ceremony at the Tom Brown Arena in the Hintonburg area of Ottawa on Thursday, Jan. 23. “RBC is a true community leader and their generous contribution will help promote skating and healthy active living in Ottawa,� mayor Jim Watson said at the launch. The program has been implemented under the city’s Community Champions Program which is a partnership initiative that invites businesses, community organizations, foundations and individuals to sponsor city of Ottawa facilities, programs, services and community initiatives. “This Community Champions partnership will benefit children and families by supporting opportunities to learn and enjoy skating, and who knows, this may even inspire some future skating champions or hockey players,� the mayor said.

News - The Winter Olympics came early to the Goulbourn Museum last Sunday. That’s because the upcoming Winter Olympics in Sochi in Russia provided the inspiration for the afternoon “We Are The Champions� family craft day at the Museum. And this inspiration took the form of a laurel wreath, an Olympic torch and a downhill skier, all of which were craft items that could be made at this special event. The laurel wreath is a symbol associated with the ancient Olympics. It is a circular wreath featuring green leaves. At the family craft day, youngsters were able to clue green leaf-shaped patches onto the wreath, creating a laurel wreath. At the ancient Olympics, laurel wreaths were 7,&2

Helping Nancy beat cancer Continued from page 1

Leigh Carroll, a Therrien family friend, who approached Giant Tiger for this fundraising initiative, has made up donation boxes featuring a brief explanation of Nancy’s cancer fight and bearing two photos – one of the Stittsville Glass & Signs shop with a “Go, Sens, Go� display and another with Nancy holding her dog Sugar Bear wearing a Sens logo on his forehead. Yes, she is that avid a Sens fan! Giant Tiger is also talking of holding a fundraising BBQ in support of Nancy in the spring. Helping out with fundraising is nothing new for Stittsville’s Giant Tiger. In the past it has held fundraising BBQ’s for, among other causes, the Humane Society and Nelson House, a shelter for abused women. It also asks customers for donations on occasion through its “Tiger Paw� program and Giant Tiger customers have proven to be pretty generous in the past. Leigh Carroll is not stopping at Giant Tiger in her efforts to help the fundraising for Nancy Therrien. She is hoping to get the Ottawa Senators involved given Nancy’s great passion for the team. Indeed, Ottawa Senator Patrick Wiercioch, who is a customer of Stittsville Glass & Signs, recently gave Nancy a banner signed by the Ottawa Senators. The gesture really made her day! It was early this fall when Nancy Therrien went for an MRI scan because she had been experiencing back problems. Shortly after this,

before hearing any results, she had to be rushed to hospital with breathing problems. This led to a diagnosis of lung cancer, with the breathing problems caused by blood clots circulating all through her body. It was said that she probably had only 48 hours or so to live had she not arrived at the hospital when she did. It turns out that these blood clots are a byproduct of her lung cancer which is not caused by smoking but is a non-smokers version of lung cancer. A large tumour was found on her lung, a tumour which the earlier MRI scan ended up detecting as well. Because of the size of the tumour, surgery is not possible at this time. So, it means an aggressive program of chemotherapy and then radiation to try to shrink the tumour and drive it into remission. And so Nancy had begun her chemotherapy treatments, twice a month, with the hope that the size of the tumour would be reduced and radiation could be started. This has now happened. What has been really worrying Nancy and her husband Luc is how they are going to pay for some of the additional shots and pills that she requires to fight this form of lung cancer. As long struggling small business people, young and not expecting such disastrous health news, they have never subscribed to any additional health coverage. Perhaps they should have but there were always so many other bills and expenses that needed paying. This means that they are facing some pretty serious finan-

cial bills. For instance, to prevent the blood clots which this form of lung cancer produces, Nancy must have a shot every day. And the cost? Five shots cost $495. And these shots have to continue daily until the cancer goes away or is in total remission. And then there’s some pills that she has to take. Three pills cost over $100. A bank account to help out Nancy Therrien has been opened at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville where donations can be made. The bank account number to quote when making such a donation at the branch is 3281 6140429. Or if you just identify the donation as being for Nancy Therrien and her battle against cancer, your donation will be directed to the right spot. And while the odds of recovering from her form of lung cancer are only a 20 percent survival rate, Nancy feels that her youth (she’s

only 45 years old) is on her side. Her youth has allowed her to undergo larger doses of chemotherapy, for instance. She also is so happy that she has two doctors who she says are willing to fight “tooth and nail� to help her beat this lung cancer. This involves aggressive chemotherapy and radiation but this is her only option. Nancy still does not know why she has this lung cancer. She did smoke when she was young but is a longtime non-smoker. She remains confident that she will make it through this health challenge, putting a lot of faith in the belief that God does not send a person a challenge that the person cannot handle. Nancy and Luc are also directors on the executive of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). Their premises right beside Village Square Park, site of several SVA community events like Villagefest and Art and Authors in the Park, has proven to be a godsend for SVA organizers of these events in terms of parking, washroom availability and other help.

Creative music at Gaia Java Special to the News

News - When you put together a saxophone player who has been called “one of Ottawa’s most fluent and engaging horn players� together with a drummer who is known for his creativity, you are bound to have a great evening of entertainment. And this is exactly what happened at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville last Friday evening when Stittsville resident Zakari Frantz combined his saxophone with the drumming of Mike Essoudry to produce a stimulating, creative and interesting hour and a half of music. The duo were about 25 minutes delayed in starting due to sound checks but once they started going, they played a pretty much continuous improvised piece for about 90 minutes. The built layers of sounds created by their saxophone and percussion instruments and used their recording equipment to sustain the created notes in a carefully constructed background ambience. The pair ranged through a variety of keys, tonal modes TM

and rhythms and at times their music had a somewhat Middle Eastern feel to it. This was the first time that Zakari and Mike had performed at the Gaia Java shop but the receptive audience last Friday assures that the pair will be invited back again. Mike Essoudry played not only the drums and cymbals but had three kalimbas at his disposal. A kalimba or thumb piano is an African musical instrument that is played by holding the instrument and plucking its tines with the thumbs. He had three kalimbas for the performance because they cannot be tuned quickly. So, having three of them on hand, each with a different pitch, covers all of the musical bases for the performance. Zakari Frantz has performed on numerous stages in over 20 countries throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe and Scandinavia. Mike Essoudry holds a Masters degree in Jazz Drumset Performance from McGill University. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop holds Friday music evenings every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, Jan. 31, four-part barbershop harmonies will be featured at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop.

Blood donors wanted Special to the News

and indeed make a different by donating blood.

News - Blood is needed! It’s as simple as that. And with a community blood donor clinic coming up in Richmond on Monday, Feb. 10, you have your opportunity to do your part in replenishing depleted blood supplies and in saving lives. This blood shortage can all be traced to the extreme weather conditions which have impacted much of Canada in recent weeks. The weather has forced Canadian Blood Services to cancel 24 blood donor clinics, losing the opportunity to collect over 1,200 donations. Using national reserves has ensured that patient needs continue to be met but now these national supplies have to be replenished to ensure that the blood needs of all Canadians will continue to be met. These clinic cancellations plus a constant hospital demand for blood products have created an immediate need for more “O Negative” and “A Negative” blood donations. These high demand blood types are in unending demand. It often takes several donors to save someone’s life. For example, up to five donors are needed to provide the blood to help someone through heart surgery. Between two and eight donors are needed to help save someone with internal bleeding. As many as 50 donors, yes, 50 donors, are needed to help someone seriously hurt in a car crash. So, you can see why the need is so great, especially with lower than expected donations due to the cancellations of clinics due to weather. It is a fact that every minute of every day, someone in Canada needs blood. You can help

To book an appointment at the upcoming community blood donor clinic at St. Philip Catholic Church’s parish hall at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond on Monday, Feb. 10 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., simply visit the website www.blood. ca or call 1-888-2 DONATE (1-888-2366283). It’s that easy and then just show up at the clinic that day and make a difference by donating the “gift of life.” Canadian Blood Services is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the supply of blood and blood products in all provinces and territories outside of Quebec. It operates 42 permanent collection sites and more than 20,000 donor clinics each year, including clinics held on a regular basis in both Richmond and Stittsville. It collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions. Canadian Blood Services was created in 1998 as a successor to the Canadian Red Cross blood donation program and the Canadian Blood Agency. All blood donations at community blood donor clinics held by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood.

Care for your feet and legs during travel and prolonged periods of inactivity Did you know that travel – and other prolonged periods of inactivity from standing or sitting – can have a negative impact on the health of your feet and legs? Fortunately, there are steps you can take to safeguard against those lengthy times of inactivity, with one particularly satisfying solution! When you travel or are otherwise inactive for long periods of time, such as for five hours or more, the time that you spend sitting without stretching or exercising can have a detrimental effect on your feet and legs. Sitting for extended periods in a confined space doesn’t allow you to move your leg muscles, and these are the same muscles that help the blood make its way back to the heart. As the hours of inactivity wear on, that period of dormancy slows the blood’s circulation, which can result in discomfort, swelling, and pain in the legs, feet and ankles. The longer you are confined without being able to move and stretch, the worse you are likely to feel. Serious health consequences can occur from such extended times of idleness. Remedies to inactivity during travel and other lengthy durations of sitting can simply include making efforts to move and stretch periodically, such as walking the aisles while onboard planes and trains. Other precautions include drinking fluids, particularly when flying; avoiding alcohol; trying not to sit in the same position overly long; and wearing comfortable clothes and shoes as opposed to tight-fitting clothing and uncomfortable footwear like high heels.

There also happens to be a surprising and wonderful solution that can help alleviate all those unpleasant effects of prolonged inactivity to your feet and legs: compression stockings! Compression stockings apply gradient compression to the legs. Gradient compression helps induce blood flow, which in turn prevents the swelling and discomfort that can occur in your feet and legs during lengthy periods of inactivity. Compression stockings also help with the control of varicose veins, venous disease, and lymphedema disorders. If you travel or have tired, aching legs because of too much time spent standing or sitting, solutions await you at BioPed Foot & Lower Limb Carehttp://www.bioped.com/ locations/locations.asp?id=46 where you will find custom orthotics, footwear, lower limb bracing and compression stockings http://www.bioped. com/products/compression_ stockings.asp. BioPed brings you to experts in orthotics, footwear and pedorthic care. BioPed certified pedorthists specialize in assessing and providing non-surgical treatment for conditions related to the functions and health of your feet and lower limbs. BioPed pedorthists can fit men and women of all shapes and sizes with medical grade or over-the-counter compression products. Of particular interest, BioPed sells JOBST® brand compression stockings. JOBST® is a world leader in medical gradient compression garments and is ideal for

wearing while on the plane or other situations that have you sitting or standing for prolonged periods of time. Whether for business, sport or casual attire, at BioPed, you’ll discover a fine selection of colours and styles of compression stockings to suit your needs and preferences.

Embrace the Olympic spirit

T

he Winter Olympics will slip, slide and jump onto our TV screens starting next week. Team Canada is ready, including a number of local athletes. And no matter the time of day, we can expect to see people across Canada pause when our hockey teams hit the ice. It’s a chance to get patriotic and cheer on our athletes, even if they are half a world away in Sochi, Russia. The Games are an opportunity to celebrate the best of us, even if some would like to cloud the events with violence and intolerance. The athletes come together to compete. They may represent a wide diversity of nations, but they are all human, and the Games should be a celebration of humanity: what our species is capable of accomplishing when taking on incredible physical challenge. In that way, the Olympics should allow us to rise above such abstract constructions as nations and states. All people should be able to feel a sense of elation when an athlete goes further or faster than anyone before, no matter what flag they may wave. Unfortunately, the Games in Sochi will take place under the cloud of intolerance, namely the threat of terrorism and draconian laws in Russia dealing with homosexuality. The would-be terrorists should know

that while they may make headlines if they strike in Sochi, they will not make any friends anywhere on Earth if they do so. Athletes and other visitors to Sochi who may be gay or openly support gay rights have received some assurance that they won’t be mistreated. Misguided and prejudicial opinions won’t be changed overnight, but we can hope that the Russian people will learn that GLBTTQ community is no threat to anyone. The Olympic Games have long been a beacon of human diversity, such as the accomplishments of African American Jesse Owens in Berlin in 1936, winning four gold medals during a Games Hitler had hoped would be a celebration of his twisted ideology. Loveable underdogs like British ski jumper Eddie “The Eagle� Edwards and the Jamaican bobsled team at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary showed the world about courage in the face of adversity and the determination to compete despite the odds. In this light, we should all strive to ensure that the athletes and their incredible efforts are what we remember about two weeks in Sochi. If we celebrate their accomplishments alongside the Olympic spirit, hopefully the world will bring a valuable, powerful message to the people of Russia during the month of February.

Turning personal trials, tribulations into teachable moments

T

here are lots of teachable moments in the headlines. If you want your kids to learn something about addictions and their power, the newspaper is the place to look. Here is Father Joseph LeClair, once a popular and respected figure in Ottawa, pleading guilty to defrauding his church of more than $100,000, because he needed the money to finance a gambling addiction. Court was told that a drinking problem was also a factor. Here is the flushed face of the mayor of Toronto, Rob Ford, emerging once again in videos. After vowing to swear off the booze in November and managing to stay out of trouble for a couple of months, Ford catches the all-seeing eye of someone’s camera phone while engaged in conversation that many find offensive. He admits he was drinking again. The lesson is not that Rob Ford and Father Joe are the same. Clearly they are not. Father Joe is a man who helped countless people and stumbled because of weakness; Ford is a man who mostly just stumbled. But what unites them is that neither was able to fight off the demon of addiction. The teachable thing is that, on the surface, both should have been able to. We look at

Father Joe almost single-handedly brought a dying parish back to life. He worked like crazy on behalf of his parishioners and they loved him.

highest offices in this country. He had influence in the corridors of power and adulation from a sizeable section of the electorate. He looked like he could be re-elected. Why would he throw that away? Being loved and successful didn’t keep the demon away from either man. We think of people who become addicts as people who are lost, who have no purpose in life, nothing to believe in. Yet Father Joe’s every waking, non-gambling moment was full of purpose, full of belief. You could not help as many people as he did without a strong belief, a strong sense of purpose. Ford, in his way, had a purpose. He said he wanted to cut their taxes, make their lives better. He answered their phone calls. His constituents treated him like a rock star whenever he appeared. Yet he couldn’t keep from destroying his career and with it everything he believed in. That’s some powerful stuff that makes you do all that to yourself. And that’s what you teach your kids. Both men have a chance to drive the lesson home by redeeming themselves. Father Joe, because he has owned up to his wrongdoing, is a lot closer to redemption than the mayor

of Toronto is. But Ford will get his chance too. A famous person who can demonstrate a good life after addiction is doing society a big favour. The rest of us can help too, not just by exhibiting the usual personal kindness, but also by not making it too easy for others to follow along the same tortured road. That doesn’t just mean stopping the spread of casinos – although heaven knows that would help. It also means making an effort to understand what addiction is, how it happens and how to prevent it. Then we can teach all that to our kids.

Campaign to help out Great Danes Special to the News

News - You can help out rescued dogs and more specifically Great Danes by taking part in the eight annual “Show Us Your Heart� fundraising campaign at Global Pet Foods in Stittsville. Funds raised at the Stittsville store during the “Show Us Your Heart� campaign which runs from Feb. 1 to Feb. 15 will go to Danes in Distress, the oldest Great Dane breed rescue in Canada which was founded in 1956. The Danes in Distress organization works to give Great Danes a second chance by finding loving homes with pet parents who care. It obtains all of its rescued Great Danes from within Canada. It is pet owners in general who are urged to take part in this “Show Us Your Heart� campaign by dropping into Global Pet Foods at the Jackson Trails Plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street and making a donation to the campaign, anytime between this Saturday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 15. It can be as little as one dollar as all donations are appreciated. Your donation will be matched by Global Pet Foods and Hill’s Ideal Balance, so your one dollar, for example, will become two. Donations can also be made online at http://www.globalpetfoods.com . The “Show Us Your Heart� campaign, which happens around Valentines Day, is held annual by Global Pet Foods as a way of support animal shelters. Global Pet Foods in Stittsville is supporting Danes in Distress this year. Since 2006, the “Show Us Your Heart� campaign has raised over $570,000 with all of the funds donated going to local animal shelters or dog rescues across Canada. Global Pet Foods is the largest Canadian-owned chain of specialty pet food and supply stores. The Great Dane is one of the world’s tallest dog breeds. Their large size belies their friendly nature as they are often referred to as a “gentle giant.� Indeed, Great Danes are known for seeking physical affection with their owners. The Great Dane is a loving animal and with the proper care and training is great around children, especially when being raised with them. R0012516043

Sacred Heart student Maire O’Hara has enjoyed co-op work placement John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - In the future Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade 12 student Maire O’Hara wants to work with children with disabilities.

Main Street Community Services, located in part of the former Stittsville Public School facility on Stittsville Main Street which also houses the Frederick Banting Alternate School Program, provides services for children and youth with special needs. She says that there are “really cool kids� at Main Street Community Services and she tries to help make their days a little brighter as they live with their physical and/or mental disabilities. Maire says that the youngsters at Main Street Community Services are always happy to see her, noting how wonderful it is to see their smiles when she enters a room. She notes that the children really appreciate the little things that are done to help them during the day. Maire first became aware of Main Street Community Services last year when her

Maire O’Hara “working with children� class took a field trip there. Since she wants to work with youth with disabilities in the future, she selected it as her co-op work placement site for this semester. Indeed, she will be continuing to volunteer at Main Street Community Services after her co-op work placement ends, hopefully once a week, while also helping out at the March Break and summer programs which Main Street Community Services conducts. Maire, who graduates from Sacred Heart this year, hopes to go to either Carleton University or the University of Ottawa to take psychology, following this up with teacher’s college so that she can teach children with disabilities. Maire played a lot of sports in her grade seven and eight years at Sacred Heart including playing on the girls

touch football team. But she has shut down her sports involvement in her high school years as her school workload has increased. She also has a part-time job at Food Basics in Stittsville where she is a cashier, earning money to help pay for her upcoming university experience. She enjoys the interacting with customers which her cashier position affords her. She has cut down a little on her work hours recently to be able to focus on her school work. She has managed to maintain an average around 80 and has been on the honour role at Sacred Heart. Before she started working at Food Basics, she volunteered at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The O’Hara family has an eight year old Goldendoodle dog which is a mix of a Golden retriever and a poodle. Named “Assisi� after St. Francis Assisi, the saint who loved animals, the family has had the now eight-year-old dog since Assisi was two months old. Maire has attended Sacred Heart Catholic High School since graduating in grade six from Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville. She has found everyone at Sacred Heart to be really friendly and outgoing and notes all the activities, sports and clubs which the school offers to its students.

Horticultural Society hears about Pine Ridge John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - What do Mayflower Trail, Honeysuckle Trail and March Trail have in common? Well, they are all named trails at the property of Lis Allison who was the guest speaker at the Tuesday, Jan. 21 meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society. They wind their way through much of her spacious (about 30 acres) site on the Carp Road between Kinburn Road and Galetta Road, a site populated with mature trees, a marsh, a beaver pond and a rocky ridge – hence the name, Pine Ridge. The property is on a ridge and has lots of pine trees – that’s how the name quite simply came about. Ms. Allison’s presentation to the more than 25 people who attended the Horticultural Society meeting at the Pretty Street Community Centre dealt with how she has developed her gardens and, indeed, her trails on the property since moving to the formerly uninhabited site in 1999. In the spring of 2000, she was faced on the site with what she called a “sea of yellow mud.” Construction of the home and her pottery studio had been completed but there were downed trees and her mud everywhere. This is when she set about to design her garden, beginning the first phase of what she explains is a process that all gardeners experience – design, build and maintain, leading eventually to revision. Lis listed her goals for her garden: she wanted to use native plants,

wanted to grow some edibles and wanted to have a nice view out of every window of the home. She readily admitted that she has gone through various stages in her gardening career – a love affair with African violets, roses, a mixed perennial border stage, wildflowers – you name it and Lis had tried it. But she found that native plants were becoming more important to her and she determined to focus on native plants from the Ottawa Valley area. She explained that people generally know how to grow the top ten native plants but that after that, knowledge about native plants is sparse. She said that native plants are hard to find and hared to learn how to grow. So, after developing her plan, she started building her garden. This involved clearing away stumps and debris and bringing in some soil. There were drainage problems because the site is not flat. In 2001, she planted a herb garden and then began on her hillside garden, building terraces so overcome the steep slope. This hillside garden merges into the adjoining woods. She next tackled what she calls a sampler garden which she enclosed with a cedar log fence where she planted mostly wildflowers. It is a small shaded wooded area where she grows examples of flowers that would be found in larger wooded areas. She calls it “probably my favourite area.” Then Lis went to work on what she calls “The Rockery,” a garden on

an area of rock outcropping which she admits is not yet as successful as she would like it to be. She noted that she intentionally called the area a “Rockery” rather than a rock garden. It is an area which features pockets of plants sitting among exposed rocks. There are lots of mosses and ferns and she has added some alpine plants. “My rockery is quite fun,” she said. For the last couple of years, Lis has concentrated on making trails through the wooded areas on the property, She said that she gave these trails “romantic names” which she admitted may sound silly but she says that the names serve a practical purpose as they help her keep track of where certain plants can be found. She said that she is trying to place patches of wildflowers along these various trails so that eventually following these trails will be quite interesting for the viewer. She said that she has now come to the point with regard to her gardens where things may need to be revised due to changing ideas and changing circumstances. This year Lis will be hosting several special days at Pine Ridge. There’s wildflower day on May 18, a fern walk on July 13 with over 30 species of native ferns to be seen, and a fall planting day on Sept. 7 where native plants will be potted and ready for transferring to other gardens. Lis Allison’s Pine Ridge website can be found at www.pine-ridge. ca or at www.garden-on-the-ridge. blogspot.ca.

Roaring game for Lions Special to the News

Sports - Lions roar and so it is to be expected that curling, the so-called roaring game, would attract Lions Club members. That’s just what happened last Saturday as the Carleton Place Lions Club held its annual curling bonspiel. Stittsville District Lions Club member Bob Lewis skipped a rink that include Stittsville Lion Al Zoschke at third and Stittsville Lion Gord MacIsaac at second. Stittsville Lion Paul Riddell had been scheduled to play for the team as well but had to pull out because of illness. He was replaced by a Carleton Place Lions Club member. Stittsville District Lions Club member Ram-

say Ferguson also participated in the bonspiel, playing on a rink with Chris LeClair, Huntley Graves and Steve Berry. There were 14 teams in the bonspiel, each playing two games during the day. The rinks with Stittsville District Lions Club members involved with them did not win but the Lion Bob Lewis rink did defeat the rink on which Lion Ramsay Ferguson placed. This was a bit of a repeat of last year’s bonspiel when the two faced off on opposing teams and Lion Bob Lewis emerged as the winner.

White Ribbon Campaign raises $602.38 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The White Ribbon Campaign at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville last December raised $602.38 for Chrysalis House, a shelter for abused women and their children. The funds raised were formally handed over to Chrysalis House in a brief presentation ceremony at the school last Friday, with Karley Holm-Andrew, a family support counsellor at Chrysalis House, on hand to accept the donation on behalf of Chrysalis House. The fundraising was just part of the school’s annual White Ribbon Campaign. To raise the funds, student volunteers went from class to class distributing white ribbons and seeking donations. This helps not only to raise money but also to increase awareness of the issue of violence against women in society today. The class visits happened on Friday, Dec. 6 which is the anniversary of the Montreal Massacre in which a gunman in 1989 killed 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique in Mon-

treal. But the White Ribbon Campaign at Sacred Heart involves more than these classroom visits on the anniversary date of the Montreal Massacre. A display focused on the 14 women who died in the event was set up in the atrium of the school thanks to the efforts of teacher Malcolm Lawrence. Announcements over the school’s public address system were made throughout the week, targeting violence and especially violence against women and urging awareness against abuse of women and children. In addition, information was provided to teachers so that they could conduct appropriate prayer services in their classrooms if they so wished. The White Ribbon Campaign at Sacred Heart has been held each December for about eight years now, under the leadership of guidance counsellor Matt McCarthy who always assembles a team of student volunteers to make the classroom visits to distribute the white lapel ribbons. The funds raised vary, ranging from $400 to $800 depending on the year, although

donations totaling around the $600 mark have been the most common over the years. Chrysalis House, a shelter for women and their children who have suffered abuse, is operated by the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre. It is a 25 bed facility located in Kanata where women, either single women 16 years of

age and over or mothers with children, can go when fleeing an abusive situation. They stay at Chrysalis House until they can find safe and affordable housing elsewhere. Stays at Chrysalis House usually last three or four months. Donations like this one from Sacred Heart’s White Ribbon Campaign usually go

to programs and client needs at Chrysalis House. Client needs could include purchases of items such as diapers, groceries and linens. There might also be on occasion a need for a new computer on which children could do their homework. It must be remember that women fleeing abuse usually

show up at Chrysalis House with very little in the way of possessions and so they are lacking a lot of life’s necessities as they begin their new lives away from the abusive situation. Chrysalis House has served clients ranging in age from 16 right through to women in their 60’s and 70’s.

Lifestyle - If learning something new and unusual appeals to your children, they can choose a March Break camp that matches their interests. Cooking camp, for example, is a great option for children interested in the culinary arts. HEALTH There are so many good reasons for learning to cook. At this type of camp, your children will learn to appreciate one of the great pleasures of life while learning to eat healthily. Cooking a real meal teaches a child to follow a balanced diet that contains less fat, salt, and sugar than processed foods.

There might be lessons on day-to-day cooking; French, Italian, or Asian cuisines; pastry making; and other specialties. The children prepare simple recipes, but they also discover some famous chefs’ secrets. TASTING In addition, many cooking camps offer a mouth-watering formula for food-loving parents; children get to take home the dishes they prepared. That way, the whole family can enjoy tasting the recipes concocted by their budding chefs.

Youngsters love to attend camps at any time including during March Break. They get to be with other children while enjoying fun activities. No wonder they are happy when they think about camps!

Choosing a March Break camp Special to the News

Of course, traditional camps are always available; they are ideal for children who love a bit of everything. Other camps are more specialized, and some of-

fer activities that are really off the beaten path. BENEFITS When your children have made their choices and are registered, give yourself a pat on the back. Attending a March Break camp will have a positive effect on your children’s development. Children who attend camp develop their socializing skills, emotional intelligence, selfconfidence, physical abilities and environmental awareness.

Rhythmic sound of drumming fills hall John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The rhythmic sound of drumming filled the basement hall at Stittsville United Church last Friday evening. It was the inaugural gathering of a new bi-monthly open

community drum circle which will be hosted at the church, open to everyone, with or without a drum. Eighteen people were involved in this initial drum circle session, with some showing up with their own drums. Each drum is different, usually

in size and place of origin. Among the drums at last Friday’s drum circle were one from Lanark with a goat skin top; a drum from Ghana made from a hollowed out tree, also with a goat skin top; a solid, one piece drum purchased in London, Ontario with a dyed

goat skin top; a drum from a beach wedding in Jamaica; a kid-sized Egyptian drum apparently once owned by a belly dancer; a flat, almost platelike drum with a horsehide top acquired at a powwow on the West Coast; and more. In addition, the centre of

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Ruth Richardson, standing, right, who has started a bi-monthly open community drum circle in Stittsville, distributes some of the drums and other related instruments as the drum circle holds its first session last Friday evening.

the circle – yes, those present did sit in a circle in a darkened hall illuminated by white Christmas-type lights strung on the walls and by a plethora of candles placed around the room – was filled with an assortment of other drums and associated instruments such as shakers, rattles, thumb pianos and, yes, a number of empty bottled water containers which can be used as drums. Ruth Richardson of Stittsville United Church, who has launched this drum circle initiative after receiving inquiries about starting such a drum circle and also because of her own experience leading meditative drum circles in the past, said that while it is called a drum circle, most such experiences ended up involving both drumming and dancing as the rhythms and beat entice the people involved to get up and dance at times. Ruth explained that drumming and its associated dancing are done all over the world. After some brief instruction - very brief, such as advice to holding the drum off the floor and also raising your drum hand away from the top after striking it, allowing the skin to vibrate and produce a full

sound - the drum circle participants did what they came to do – they drummed! As Ruth said, let’s just play and see what happens. It was like an improvised drumming jam session, with the participants going with the rhythms produced. This initial drumming jam session lasted for 25 minutes. Sometimes participants would exchange a drum for another instrument in the centre of the circle but the drumming continued, each participant adding personal and unique rhythms and beats to the collective sound. Minutes after this first jam session ended, another began – drumming can become not only meditative and soothing but can also be addictive. There was even some dancing happening – you just can’t keep from letting your feet and legs and arms embrace and enjoy the rhythm and beat of the drums. You want to get up and move. The whole idea of a drum circle is to allow a person to relax and unwind. A person can drum or dance or just sit and listen and enjoy the rhythm. See DRUMMING, page 29

Drumming in Stittsville Continued from page 28

These bi-monthly open community drum circles at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street will be held on the second and fourth Friday of every month at 7:30 p.m. with everyone welcome, with or without drums of your own. The hope is to build a community of drummers in Stittsville. Such drum circles have proven popular for stress management and meditation. There are no lessons needed or no need to even have a drum. Just attend and enjoy the beat, enjoying the relaxing and even sometimes hypnotic atmosphere that happens. The term “drum circle” originated in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s to refer to any group of people who gather together informally to play music together. The music played is always improvised and co-created by the participants and as such is a group expression. Participants make the music up as they go along, using their listening and playing skills to make musical connections and to express themselves in any way that feels right. Participation in this Stittsville drum circle is free, although donations JOHN CURRY/METROLAND would be welcome. For more information, please call At last Friday evening inaugural drum circle in Stittsville, Carolyn Clark uses a mallet as she drums on the horsehide drum that she acquired at a West Coast powwow. 613-836-8735 or 613-836-6847.

Danish Embassy rep at film John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Pia Lindemann Kristensen, left, financial and communications officer with the Royal Danish Embassy in Ottawa, digs deep into the bag being held by Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville president Alfredo Patricio, right, as she is about to pull out a winning entry in the door prize draw which was held at the showing of the Danish movie “The Hunt” which opened the 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series on Thursday evening, Jan. 23 at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum.

News - The opening of this year’s Rotary International Film Series on Thursday evening, Jan. 23 took on an added luster as those who nearly filled the theatre at Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum to see the Academy Award nominated Danish film “The Hunt” were treated to some introductory remarks about the film and the Danish film industry in general from a representative of the Royal Danish Embassy in Ottawa. Pia Lindemann Kristensen, a financial and communications officer at the Royal Danish Embassy on Clarence Street in downtown Ottawa, called “The Hunt” a “captivating” story, noting that both director Thomas Vinterberg and star Mads Mikkelsen are well known in Denmark. She noted that “The Hunt” has been nominated for numerous

awards including Best Foreign Language Film in this year’s Academy Award nominations. She feels that “The Hunt” will have a good chance to win, perhaps making it a great year for the Danish film industry. She suggested that one reason that the Danish film industry has become so successful since the 1980’s is the financial help which is available to film makers from the government which provides half of the funding for a film provided the rest is raised privately. But Ms. Lindemann Kristensen suggested that the Danish film industry’s success also lies in a different approach used in Denmark. Where in Europe the director is in charge and in the United States the production company runs things, in Denmark a creative team including the producer and director guides the making of a film. This leads to more creative ideas emerging in a production, she asserted.

“The Hunt” is the second Danish film to be shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series as in last year’s inaugural series, the Danish movie “a Royal Affair” was shown. It was explained at the opening of this year’s International Film Series that this initiative by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville began as a result of the experience of Rotary Club member Val Wright. She had been involved with a similar film festival when she lived in Chilliwack, B.C. back in the year 2000 and she brought the idea to the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville when she joined. This year’s Rotary International Film Series has been organized by a Rotary Club committee comprised of members Val Wright, Steve Hunter and Wes Zacharuk. Major sponsor is mortgage broker Leo Maiorino who is also a Rotary Club member. Other sponsors, supporters and partners which allow this Rotary International Film Series to happen include Theresa Qadri of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, John Thompson, Wes Zacharuk Co-operators Insurance, Gaia Java Coffee Company, Telefilm Canada, the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Cineplex, Landmark Theatres, Bell, RBC Royal Bank, L’Oreal, Visa, Audi, the federal and provincial governments and the Toronto International Film Festival. Coming up next in this 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series is the movie “Inside Llewyn Davis,” a film whose cast includes Oscar Isaac as Llewyn Davis as well as well know actors like John Goodman and Justin Timberlake. This United States film will be shown on Thursday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata. This 2013 production is about a fictional folk musician in the early 1960’s in New York. The soundtrack to this film has become popular in its own right, so seeing this film and hearing its music should be quite a treat. This film has been popular with film critics but it was a loser in the Academy Awards nominations, getting just two nominations, both in craft categories. Directors Joel and Ethan Coen were left out of the nominations for best director and also for writers of the best original screenplay. And also left out of the nominations was Oscar Isaac who plays the title role in the film and has been praised for his singing and acting in the role. But there was no best actor nomination for him. On Thursday, March 20 at 7 p.m., the movie “Gloria,” a production from Chile, will be shown in this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. This film in Spanish with English subtitles tells the story of a divorcee in her late 50’s who loves dancing and romance but is also facing the reality of aging. And finally, on Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m., this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 will conclude with the screening of “The Lunchbox,” made in India in 2013.

SECOND SECTION ‘Fiesta Coffee House’ in Richmond Business Directory

Classifieds

THURSDAY JANUARY 30, 2014

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It was a coffee house akin to those of the 1960’s and 1970’s when a guitar and a voice were all that was needed to entertain the patrons. And the same principles applied to the “Fiesta Coffee House” which was staged at St. Philip’s Parish Hall in Richmond last Saturday night – guitars and voices blended on stage to provide great entertainment. The entertainment was provided by, among others, the duo of Stephanie and Sean Murphy, with Stephanie providing the vocals and Sean accompanying her on the guitar. Among their musical offerings was the song “Jolene,” written and then recorded in 1973 by country music artist Dolly Parton. The trio of singer/guitarist Danielle Masson and vocalists Maureen Vickers and Celine Masson were up on stage several times. Among their songs was “Sweet Annie,” a number one single on the country

charts in 2013 done by three time Grammy award winners the Zac Brown Band, an American country/folk band which performed live to over 1.3 million fans in appearances in 2013. Mike Heffernan, playing the guitar and singing, had the audience participating along with him on a couple of songs. For instance, when singing “Proud Mary,” the 1969 hit by Creedence Clearwater Revival, he had the audience sing along to that song’s familiar lyrics “Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ on the river.” Performing before a backdrop that included album covers for albums by such performers as Rita Coolidge, Simon and Garfunkel, Abba and the Righteous Brothers, Mike also sang from the playbooks of Jim Croce (1974’s “Workin’ At The Car Wash Blues”), Fleetwood Mac, Blue Rodeo and Tommy Makem who gained his most fame singing with The Clancy Brothers. Along with Michael McSheffrey, he sang Irish recording artist Ronan Keating’s hit

“When You Say Nothing At All.” Michael McSheffrey then remained on stage as he was joined by Shawn Brown who joined in on the steel slide guitar and also on an electric guitar at times. Among the songs which this pair performed were Arlo Guthrie’s “The City of New Orleans,” a 1972 hit by this American folk singer, and “Tennessee Waltz,” Patti Page’s monster hit in 1950. Indeed, “Tennessee Waltz” in 1965 was made the fourth official song of the state of Tennessee – it became that iconic of a tune. Mike and Shawn also performed “The Tornado Song,” an audience participation song that heard the audience sing out the response “It blowed away.” And in honour of Robbie Burns Day, which was marked last Saturday, Jan. 25, as the birth date of Scottish poet Robbie Burns, the pair performed a Scottish tune. MC Brian McSheffrey enhanced the coffee house

theme of the event by relating stories about the famous Le Hibou coffee house of the 1960’s/70’s in Ottawa including one story about Gordon Lightfoot performing there. On several occasions, he also posed the question “You know you have had too much coffee to drink when…” and then giving one of numerous answers. This “Fiesta Coffee House” was held as a fundraiser to help children in Peru. It included a family supper as well as the coffee house entertainment. Admission was $25 for a couple or family. Twenty-five dollars is the amount of money required to sponsor a child in Peru to attend a four day faith camp where the children receive Catholic teaching as well as three meals a day. The event also featured a raffle draw for four donated prizes. The draw ended up generating $530, all of which will go to help the Peru faith camp initiative. Last summer a group from

St. Philip Church travelled to Peru, along with St. Philip pastor Rev. Robert Poole,

where they experienced the work that is being done there to help Peruvian children.

involved bringing clean water to the 700 people in the village, assisting with agricultural development and establishing a school there. This school is now supporting 76 children, many of whom are orphans. This year’s “Quiz for a Cause� will be raising funds to help establish a new class at the school and to build a dedicated school building. The objective of the partnership with the Seje community has been to establish sustainable solutions in agriculture, clean water and education in the community of Seje which is in one of the poorest regions in Africa. Seje is located in western Kenya near the Ugandan border. The region suffers from droughts for much of the year. In addition, villagers did not have access to clean water as the region does not support wells from a geological perspective. AIDS and malaria are prevalent in the region. Half of the children do not survive to see their fifth birthday because of disease, primarily caused by dirty water. The Seje community also has a high number of orphans who are at great risk since the community cannot adequately look after them. They receive minimal education, food and medical assistance. A water system that draws water from a nearby river was built. The system filters and chlorinates the water and then pumps it up a hill into a storage container. The system is solar powered and has distribution lines to sites such as the school. The Seje community volunteered its time to dig over two kilometers of trenches through dry, rocky ground to install the water system.

Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse

Connected to your community

Status quo for Agricultural Society Special to the News

News - There’s no change at the top for the Board of Directors of the Richmond Agricultural Society. Following the Society’s annual general meeting in Richmond on Tuesday, Jan. 21, Gerd Lohmann remains as president for another year. This will be his second year as head of the Agricultural Society. Bill Reid remains as first vice-president while Ian Stackhouse continues as second vicepresident. As far as the Board of Directors goes, Directors who had completed the second year of their two-year term and who were re-elected were David Bobier, Bruce Button, Vivien Daly, Cindy Dawson, Wendy Ferguson, John Gil, Marlene Greene, Gavin Grusnick, Chris Lawton, Anne Lindsay, Gerd Lohmann, Larry Monuk, Kyle Seguin, Margaret Todd and Ken Vaughn. They join the Directors who are remaining on the Board to complete the second year of their two-year terms, namely Bruce Bain, Bob Bell, Wayne Byrne, Denise Crawford, Carol Demjan, Mary Lou Farrell, Susan Hughes, Rob Parks, David Read, Bill Reid, Laura Robertson and Ian Stackhouse. David Brown has stepped down as a Director but will be continuing as a Junior Director. Cathy Craig was elected as a Director to fill the vacancy.

Child abuse has many faces, and while all abuse hurts, different kinds of abuse can hurt in different ways. Abuse is more than bruises or broken bones; abused children do not always show obvious warning signs of abuse or neglect. Regardless of the type of child abuse, the outcome can result in serious emotional harm. Make a difference in a child’s life; learn the subtle signs of abuse. The earlier abused children get help, the greater chance they have to heal and break the cycle. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, get help. Making a report seems so official and many people are reluctant to get involved in other families’ lives. Understanding some of the myths behind reporting may help put your mind at ease if you need to report child abuse. I don’t want to break up a family. Our priority is keeping children in the home. A report does not mean a child is automatically removed from the home - unless the child is clearly in danger. They will know it was me who called. Reports can be anonymous. When making a report, provide as much information as possible to assist in the assessment. It won’t make a difference what I have to say. If you have a gut feeling that something is wrong, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Even if you don’t see the whole picture, others may have noticed something as well, and a pattern can help identify child abuse that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks. While not all suspicions and accusations of child abuse turn out to be true, all deserve serious attention and immediate action.

Re-elected as Junior Directors were Dwight Brown, Scott Dawson, Chelsey Foster, Mathew Noxon, Braden Stuyt, Curtis Stuyt, Allison Todd, Craig Wytenburg and James Wytenburg. Newly elected Junior Directors are Jordan Alma and David Brown.

The 2014 Richmond Fair will be held from Sept. 18 to Sept. 21. The Richmond Agricultural Society has more than 35 different committees involved in the planning of the annual fair as well as other non-fair events which are held at the Richmond fairgrounds throughout the

year. Dale Greene is the general manager and secretary of the Richmond Agricultural Society. He can be contacted at 613-8383420 or via email at richmondfair@sympatico.ca. The Richmond Fair’s website can be found at www.richmondfair.ca .

MARY COOK Things that would Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - It was unusual for Miss Crosby to break with routine, but that Friday the snow was coming down so heavily, we couldn’t see the barns when we got up in the morning, and that had a lot to do with her changing our usual afternoon school day work. Parents would be coming with sleighs and cutters to take us home, which in itself was unusual. The weather had to be pretty fierce to warrant a ride to or from the Northcote School! So Miss Crosby announced after recess, we

make Mary happy could fill a book

all could put our books away, keeping out only our grammar notebooks. We had at least an hour to put in. Miss Crosby said, to cheer us up on that cold and blustery Friday, we were to write (or in my case, print), all the things we could think of that made us happy. I gathered seeing Marguirite falling flat on her face was not exactly what Miss Crosby had in mind. She also said, we were to take our grammar books home to finish up our lists as homework.

CAT OF THE WEEK You have never had such affection as this handsome tabby fellow will show you. The moment he sets his eyes on you he will jump into your arms and hug you so tightly....and melt in your arms. He is so happy to be near you he can’t keep his paws on the ground. He loves other cats and feels comfortable in their company. Under 5 years of age, full of spunk and life - a healthy young man. With him around, there will be many laughs and happy hours. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622. Check out the Website www.countrycatrescue.com for available cats and more info.

heavily closed. Listening to my sister’s sweet voice, singing softly at night in bed, brought me special joy. Walking hand-in-hand with my best friend Velma to the Northcote School -- girls did that back then -- and knowing in my heart we would be best friends for ever, that brought me joy. Just having a few pennies tied into the corner of my hanky, tucked in the very back of my washstand drawer, and thinking how rich I was, brought me a special feeling. I would handle it carefully, and one day I would take it into Walker’s Store in Renfrew and perhaps buy new hair ribbons, or walk down to the dime store and buy some butterscotch discs to suck on the way home to the farm. On a freezing Monday, knowing Mother had done the weekly wash, when I came home from school, I would know that the laundry would have been taken off the line to finish drying in the kitchen. Everything would be stiff as boards, with Father’s and the brothers’ long combination underwear standing like white soldiers against the wall by the stove frozen solid. The smells in the kitchen would be of freshness, and outdoors, and homemade soap, and I would sit and watch to see what piece of underwear would succumb to gravity first. I went to bed thinking of all the things that could make me happy and I knew then the list would be endless. Even though there was little money for frivolity or luxuries, I had far more to write about than would fit into my grammar book.

OUR JOLLY JUMPER! “MR. KRAMER”

I had absolutely no trouble coming up with the very first thing that made me happy on a winter’s day, especially on that particular Friday. Father would be coming with the flat-bottom sleigh, I would be sitting in the very front with him, wrapped in the fur blanket he would toss in before leaving the barns. I would be listening to the sleigh bells hanging around the necks of King and Queen as they plop-plopped through the deep snow. I thought, back then, that the sleigh bells made the most beautiful sounds in the whole world. I especially liked them at night, driving in our long lane, or coming across the snowcovered Twenty-Acre Field. Often they would lull me to sleep, leaning against Father’s shoulder, and I would feel the utmost contentment and happiness. So sleigh bells headed my list. The smell of freshly baked bread when I walked in the house after coming from school simply had to go on my list, too. Seeing the high, fat loaves, lined up on the bake table, and knowing I would be able to claim the outside crust off at least one of them, caused my mouth to water, as I printed homemade bread on my list. Crawling into a bed that had been made up with fresh sheets taken off the clothes line that day gave me special joy and a great feeling of happiness. I would fall asleep with my nose crushed into the pillow to get the most benefit of the new smell, and wrap the sheet tight around my neck. The scent would stay with me until my eyes

Ingredients * 2 Rainbow Trout fillets (about 375 g/12 oz each), halved * 25 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil * 2 cloves garlic, minced Apple-Carrot Relish: * 1 small apple, peeled, cored and finely diced * 25 ml (2 tbsp) fresh lime juice * 125 ml (1/2 cup) shredded carrot * 25 ml (2 tbsp) liquid honey * 25 ml (2 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley * 5 ml (1 tsp) minced fresh gingerroot

* 1 ml (1/4 tsp) each salt, pepper and cinnamon Spice rub * 5 ml (1 tsp) each ground allspice, pepper, dried thyme leaves and packed brown sugar * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cinnamon * 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) cayenne pepper (or to taste) Preparation Apple-carrot relish: In a medium bowl, toss the apple with the lime juice to coat.

It will all happen on Sunday, Feb. 9 when Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) will provide four hours of sledge hockey action taking place both before and after a 12:15 p.m. ceremony at which the new second arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) will be named after Stittsville’s own Matt Bradley who has played for four teams in the National Hockey League. SHEO has partnered with the city of Ottawa’s protective services (police, fire and paramedics) as well as with the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association and the

Murder mayhem and great food at fundraiser Special to the News

News - Murder in Stittsville! That will be the headline on Saturday, Feb. 8 but don’t get upset – it’s all related to a murder mystery evening which the Westwind Public School parent Council is hosting at the NEXT Restaurant in Stittsville. This is the Parent Council’s first event planned for parents and, indeed, it is open to all adults in the community, not just parents of Westwind Public School. Called “Murder on the Menu … Who’s NEXT?”, the event is being billed as a night of murder mayhem as well as award winning food. NEXT Restaurant is located at the corner of West Ridge Drive and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. This murder mystery evening will include a three-course meal prepared by the NEXT Restaurant’s award winning chef Michael Blackie, a silent auction and a murder mystery performance by the Lakeside Players. The menu will include soup, a main course featuring Supreme of Chicken, steamed silken tofu, preserved black bean and ginger compote and sautéed spinach edmame. The evening’s silent auction is going to include a number of desired services and items. These include a pool opening donated by Pool Builders; a spring or fall automotive tune-up donated by D&I Automotive; $200 worth of oil changes donated by Denis Auto Centre; products from Spa Olivia and also First Choice Hair Cutters at Hazeldean; and donations from Karters Korner, Meg Andrews Photography of Kanata, NEXT Restaurant and the Lakeside Players. More items are still being sought if you would like to make a donation and help out in this fundraising venture. Just email westwind.fundraising@gmail.com to make arrangements. The Lakeside Players will be putting on “Death by Inheritance,” a murder mystery about 83 year old industrialist Silas F. Rich who is throwing his annual Winter Blahs party which his son, daughter and in-laws are all attending although they are upset with Silas who has entered into a new relationship with twenty-something Hermione “Chesty” Goldiga, fearing that they might lose their inheritance to his new-found love. You will just have to be there to find out how it all turns out! The array of characters will include not only Silas and “Chesty” but also Willy Rich, the elder son; Rosy Rich, Willy’s wife; Vera Longbottom, Silas’ daughter; Norm Longbottom, Vera’s husband; Irma Goodkiss, Silas’ high school sweetheart and now an 81 year old spinster; Ripley Muscles, owner of a gymnasium; Detective Inspector Witless; and Sergeant Sharp, who keeps the Detective Inspector on the right track. The Lakeside Players are a non-profit community theatre group founded in 1990 based at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre in Britannia Park in Ottawa. Each year the Lakeside Players mount two or three fulllength productions, ranging from one act plays to dramas to comedy to farce to British pantomines. It was back in 1993 that the Lakeside Players produced its first murder mystery dinner theatre as a fundraiser. The group now has a repertoire of nine murder mysteries which it performs for a fee, one of which is “Death by Inheritance.” All of the funds raised by this fundraising murder mystery dinner night will be going for additional resources for the library at Westwind Public School. This will include increasing the library’s French fiction collection as well as its bilingual non-fiction holdings. These have been identified as areas of need for the school’s librarian. This night of murder mayhem and award winning food will get underway at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8. Tickets are $60 per person while reserved tables of eight are available for $500. There are also five tables of ten available for $650. Tickets are only available in advance as there will be no sales at the door. Tickets are on sale until this coming Monday, Feb. 3. To order tickets or for more information, please email westwind.fundraising@gmail.com. Dietary restrictions will be respected.

Carnival time coming in Munster Special to the News

News - Here comes winter carnival time in Munster! The Winter Olympics in Sochi get underway at the same time as the Munster winter carnival happens this year, namely on Friday, Feb. 7 and Saturday, Feb. 8. That’s why this 41st Munster winter carnival is being called “Sochi 2014.” And both the Winter Olympics in Sochi in Russia and the Munster winter carnival have something in common other than the Sochi name and that is that both are fun filled events where the emphasis is on wintertime activities and events. Of course, the Sochi Olympics in Russia are not having have a chili cooking contest or a pancake breakfast but the Munster winter carnival will not be having bobsledding or downhill skiing. So, they are not the same but both are celebrations of winter and all the fun that winter can produce. And so just what will be happening at the Munster winter carnival “Sochi 2014”? On Friday evening, Feb. 7 at the Munster Community Centre, there will be a bonfire, music from Jack FM, an open skate, free hot chocolate, a movie for the kids and a canteen.

Saturday, Feb. 8 will start off with a home cooked pancake breakfast at the Munster United Church hall. There will then be some outdoor games at the Munster Community Centre followed by the “Kids Zone” at the Munster elementary School gymnasium. Youngsters will be entertained by Circus Delight along with other activities. And who would want to miss the annual Munster Chili Cook-Off. Who has the best chili in the community? Anyone who wants can bring a chili entry suitable to feed 20 to 30 people to the Munster Community Centre for 11:30 a.m. People will get to sample the various entries and a people’s choice ballot will be provided. The winners will be announced at 1 p.m. And make sure that you purchase your 2014 winter carnival ribbon that gives admission to all carnival events. It’s only $5 for a carnival ribbon, with a maximum of $20 for ribbons for a whole family. Ribbons will be on sale during the winter carnival at the Munster Community Centre canteen on both the Friday and Saturday and at the pancake breakfast and at the Munster Elementary School gymnasium on the Saturday.

News - Richmond wants to be Kraft Hockeyville 2014 and you can help. Nominations are now on the Kraft Hockeyville website where nominations can be done until Sunday, Feb. 9 at midnight. The more nominations that Richmond receives will help the cause. Each nomination should include a story about the Richmond arena – what the arena means to you or some story about what happened at the arena. If enough nominations are submitted, reflecting the community’s hockey spirit and its love of the arena, then Richmond may have a chance to be one of the winning communities in this year’s Kraft Hockeyville competition. A hockey festival to further promote Richmond’s nomination as Kraft Hockeyville 2014 is being held on Saturday, Feb. 8 at outdoor

hockey rink at Creekside Gardens in Richmond. The winners in the Kraft Hockeyville 2014 competition will receive $100,000 in arena upgrades, a visit from CBC Hockey Night in Canada and the chance to host a National Hockey League pre-season game. Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition developed by CBC Sports and sponsored by Kraft Foods, the National Hockey League (NHL) and the NHL Players Association. In the competition, communities across Canada try to demonstrate their commitment to hockey and their love of their local arena. Kraft Hockeyville began in 2006 as a reality television series aired by CBC Television. Since 2007, though, it has become a contest with segments aired during CBC’s Saturday night NHL coverage on Hockey Night in Canada.
