EMC news - The RCMP Musical Ride. The OPP Golden Helmets motorcycle team. A military re-enactment group. These are three of the possible attractions at the 2018 celebrations surrounding the 200th anniversary of the founding of Richmond. The military re-enactment group might undertake a weekend encampment that would include drills, musket fire and music. Richmond Village Association (RVA) president Judy Wagdin told those at the RVA’s Feb. 5 meeting that a committee to organize these 2018 celebrations would be starting to meet soon. She said that the plan is for the celebrations to take place as a three-day weekend, perhaps on the long weekend in August that year. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt, who was at the Feb. 5 RVA meeting, suggested that Richmond should enter the Kraft Hockeyville contest that year, much like Navan did recently. He said that even if Richmond is not successful in the contest, the effort would draw attention to the village’s 200th anniversary that year. He noted as well that 2018 will be the 70th anniversary of the founding of Silver Stick Hockey in Richmond. Another possible project to mark the 200th anniversary of Richmond would be the placing of another mural in the Richmond Heritage Gallery on the exterior of the Richmond Memorial Community Centre. Such a mural comes with a price tag of about $8,000. The RVA currently has $4,100 in its mural fund.

Perfect setting for Hockey Day in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC sports - Hockey Day in Canada last Saturday was a picture perfect winter’s day in Stittsville. There was a cloudless blue sky, bright sunshine, a nip in the nearly windless air and a landscape covered with a layer of fresh white snow. It was the kind of day that makes Canadians love winter. And while the Ottawa Senators were on the ice for a 2 p.m. afternoon National Hockey League game against the visiting Winnipeg Jets at
Scotiabank Place, Stittsville outdoor rinks were in use, no doubt with some youngsters dreaming of the day when they would be stickhandling over the centre line at Scotiabank Place rather than on the ice at their local outdoor drink. The rink at Crossing Bridge Park next to A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School had over a dozen hockey enthusiasts on its ice surface just before 2 p.m. There was also activity at other Stittsville outdoor rinks – those at Upcountry Park, at Trustee M. Curry Park on Hartsmere Drive, at Ralph
Park Street Park, at Elm Crescent Park and at the Bryanston Gate Park. All of these outdoor rink
players were enjoying that timeless tradition in Canada – having fun on an outdoor rink on a marvelous winter’s
day. Yes, Hockey Day in Canada 2013 in Stittsville was all that it could be – hockey fun on outdoor ice in a setting fea-
turing a white blanket of snow on the ground and a blue, blue sky overhead. It was hockey heaven, no doubt about it.

‘Walking in Grace’ to help homeless John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - “Walking in Grace� is the name. Helping the homeless in the aim. And so far, this team of
walkers from the Grace Baptist Church of Ottawa on Huntley Road just south of Stittsville is flourishing in its fundraising efforts for the upcoming “Coldest Night of the Year’ walk in Ottawa.
Already the team has increased its fundraising goal for its participation in the Feb. 23 “Coldest Night of the Year� walk from $4,000 to $6,000 and it’s well on its way to achieving this enhanced goal.
Indeed, the ten-member team leads all of the 17 Ottawa area fundraising teams and in fact is presently sitting in fifth place in the country for this national fundraising walk which this year is happening in 39 cities, involving 877 teams. The “Coldest Night of the Year� walk to raise money for the hungry, homeless and hurting in a community began in Toronto in 2011 and last year spread to 18 cities with over 3,000 walkers. This year walks are being held in 39 cities including Ottawa where the funds will go to support Jericho Road Christian Ministries. This is an organization that provides homes and assistance to Ottawa’s poor, addicted and mentally ill. It is a non-profit, non-denominational Christian agency that works with Ottawa’s homeless. This “Coldest Night of the Year� walk in Ottawa takes place in the Byward Market area, on Saturday evening, Feb. 23. A team from Grace Baptist Church participated in last year’s initial “Coldest Night of the Year’ walk in Ottawa,
Currently across Canada, there are more than 150,000 experiencing homelessness. In the “Coldest Night of the Year� walk on Saturday, Feb. 23, teams of walkers in 39 cities across Canada will be walking in support of agencies in each particular city that offer care and support for those who are hungry, suffering and homeless. For Ottawa this year, the funds will go to Jericho Road Christian Ministries. The national fundraising goal for this year’s walk is one million dollars. For more information about the “Coldest Night of the Year� walk, check out the website at www.coldestnightoftheyear. org. If you want to support a team such as the “Walking in Grace� team, you can do this through the website. The Grace Baptist Church of Ottawa is located on Huntley Road just south of Fallowfield Road between Stittsville and Richmond. The premises were formerly the People’s Gathering Place church under the leadership of John Robertson. The Grace Baptist Church of Ottawa has been at this site for two years.
raising $2,000. This year’s ten-member team will be walking 5K rather than the longer 10K distance. Marion Payne, the team captain, says that the team adopted the name “Walking in Grace� in the realization that everyone in life has made bad choices and but for the grace of God, team members could be among the homeless. The walk provides participants with the opportunity to experience a hint of the challenges faced by those who are homeless by walking for a while on the streets of downtown Ottawa during a cold Canadian night in the dead of winter. Jericho Road Christian Ministries receives no government funding to help with its work caring for the homeless, poor and mentally ill. Fundraising events like this “Coldest Night of the Year’ walk and donations from churches and individuals are what provide the resources for Jericho Road to carry on with its work. Jericho Road is hoping that the “Coldest Night of the Year� walk this year will raise $50,000 for its work.

One tool that parents can use to check how their child is doing is the Nipissing District Development Screen (NDDS) for infants and children up to 6 years of age, which has: • A checklist of skills most children can do at each age • Tips on what to do to help children learn It is very important for babies and young • Available in English, French, Spanish, children to grow and learn the skills they Chinese and Vietnamese need at each age. Many children need extra help in one or more The NDDS is free-of-charge for people areas. It is easier to correct or living in Ontario.

We all have a stake in a Liveable Ottawa
R
ecently, the Liveable Ottawa plan for rebooting the city’s major master plans was unveiled at city hall, revealing a vision for the capital for years to come. Mayor Jim Watson and Alta Vista Coun. Peter Hume, the planning committee chairman, pledged the review, particularly of the city’s Official Plan, would provide much needed “certainty� to what can often be the chaotic world of development.
This exercise, accompanied by reviews of plans for pedestrians, cycling, transportation and infrastructure, will go a long way towards aiming all the city’s efforts in the same direction, towards a more sustainable city, which is exactly where Ottawa needs to be headed. As Hume said during the Jan. 29 launch of the Liveable Ottawa project, the refreshed Official Plan “will be more prescriptive than ever before in terms of where the vision
for height and density is in this city.� This will provide clear rules governing where intensification will go in the city, removing much of the fuzziness that causes a great deal of angst among residents living in transitional neighbourhoods across the city. Many of the decisions during this process will undoubtedly raise concerns among residents in places like Centretown, Lowertown, Westboro and Vanier. Those residents worry intensifi-
cation will only serve to bring the burden of added population and traffic to their neighbourhoods. But that need not be the case, as the Liveable Ottawa project offers the city an excellent opportunity to align the other master plans with the Official Plan. This, if done with care and consideration, will insure the intensified neighbourhoods of Ottawa’s future provide the infrastructure needed to accommodate denser popula-
tions. But there’s the rub: Liveable Ottawa needs to be done well if the city is to be sustainable for generations to come. Intensification is the new normal for cities, as suburban sprawl has proven to be unsustainable, but that doesn’t mean creating density for density’s sake is an easy task. It will take a considerable amount of input from city staff, councillors, developers and residents to come up with a plan that will provide for the sustainable city we all desire. This means it is incumbent upon both the members of the development community and
residents to get involved with this process -- the official and master plans will be much better for their efforts. It will also require those two groups, often at odds with one another, to see things from the others’ perspective. Change is difficult, but it is made easier when reasonable people are considerate and accommodating of views that might not be their own. Ottawa is already a quite liveable city, one of the best places to live in North America, if not the world. Engagement in the Liveable Ottawa process by all who hold this city dear will keep it that way.

Chocolate for groundhogs CHARLES GORDON Funny Town
N
o one would ever dare argue that Valentine’s Day is a meaningless ritual, since it involves kissing and chocolate. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to inject some new life into it, to keep it from getting stale. Then there is Winterlude, an Ottawa institution by now but one that is constantly challenged to find ways of coping with changing times and unpredictable weather conditions. It’s not a meaningless ritual, but it could use a new twist or two. If you want a meaningless ritual, take Groundhog Day. What a waste of time, both for people and for groundhogs. In Punxsutawney, Pa., 35,000 people turned out for it. In past years there have arrests for drunken rioting and such. Over a groundhog. In Wiarton, Ont., the status of Wiarton Willie’s shadow has been turned into a three-day festival. There is probably a half-time show. More groundhogs are getting into the act, since it appears that groundhogs seeing shadows, or not, are good for tourism. There’s Balzac Billy in Alberta and Winnipeg Willow in Manitoba. For what it’s worth, none of these guys saw their shadows, which is supposed to mean that spring is less than six-weeks away. Really? In Canada? Groundhog shadow or no, of course there are going to be six more weeks of winter in Canada. Six weeks from Groundhog Day takes you to mid-March. Maybe in Punxsutawney it is reasonable to hope for spring in mid-March, but not anywhere in this country, outside of British Columbia. So what is the point of doing this whole
groundhog thing? So we can enjoy being silly? There are lots of ways of doing that without bothering innocent rodents. So here’s an idea. Valentine’s Day could use some silliness. The kissing and chocolate are good, but sometimes it gets a bit solemn, particularly in those television commercials for jewelry. Also, there is no predictive value in Valentine’s Day: nothing that happens that day tells us anything about when spring is coming. The next step is obvious -- combine Valentine’s Day and Groundhog Day as part of Winterlude. That injects a bit of new life into all three events. It could work in many ways, but one might be that if the Ice Hog comes out on Feb. 14 and sees a heart-shaped chocolate, that means six more weeks of winter. This could all be done on the canal, if there is ice on it. If the Ice Hog comes out on the canal and sees water, it means that the Ice Hog had better learn to swim pretty fast. That makes sense. Six weeks from Feb. 14 takes us just about into April, where spring is an actual possibility. Canadians would actually be glad to think of only six more weeks of winter and their happiness might induce them to purchase more chocolate, take their sweetie out to dinner and support the local economy. Then, just to make it interesting, there could be a possible down-side to the Ice Hog’s prediction. The Wiarton Willie thing is boring because the worst thing that can happen is you get spring in mid-March. What if the Ice Hog comes out on Valentine’s Day, doesn’t see chocolate and that means no spring until May? That would put a little juice into it. It could even create some betting opportunities at our new casino. Having rejuvenated Valentine’s Day, put some spark into Winterlude and some logic into Groundhog Day, there remains only the task of giving this new wonderful event a catchy name. This will not be easy because we know that the federal government will want to name it, as it wants to name everything, after Sir John A. Macdonald. However, that is not a very good name for a groundhog.

Eight tables at Lions Club euchre Special to the News
EMC news - A very cold night with a snow storm in the ofďŹ ng may have kept a number of players home on Thursday, Feb. 7 instead of travelling to the Lions Hall in Stittsville for the regular weekly euchre party. But, in any case, there were still eight tables of players, hardy souls all, no doubt, whose love of euchre overcame any concerns for cold and snow. When the evening was over, Jackie Ralph emerged as the winner, with Shirley Beardsell placing second. Jean Howell came in third.
Craig Lester had the hidden score while Rosalie Brideau won the door prize. Albert Zoschke won the booby prize for the evening. You can’t do much if you don’t get the cards – right, Al? Viviane Lester and Joy Phillips won the two 50/50 draws during the evening. The Stittsville District Lions Club hosts a euchre party every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, with everyone welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre. There’s always a snack after euchre has ended, rounding out an enjoyable evening.

Changing the way you think about storage... YOU’VE PROBABLY SEEN THE NEW MEGA DYMON STORAGE FACILITY AT KANATA CENTRUM – IT’S JUST
THE LATEST IN A STRING OF FACILITIES THAT ARE POPPING UP ALL OVER TOWN. LOCALLY OWNED AND OPERATED, DYMON NOW HAS SEVEN INDUSTRY LEADING FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
M
any people are also taking notice of Dymon’s latest facility under construction on Carling at the Queensway. “We are really excited about our Carling site,” offers Steve Creighton, Senior Vice President with Dymon, “it is going to be our flagship facility with our head office located on the top floor. We have some new outstanding features that are going to make this our best facility yet.” Another Dymon facility is also being built at Greenbank at Hunt Club, with six more facilities planned for Ottawa.
R0011887354-0131
Stepping inside a Dymon facility, you will quickly realize that Dymon Storage is not your traditional type of storage business. “Before the arrival of Dymon, storage in Ottawa was really nothing more than single storey buildings with garage doors. These facilities were typically located in industrial parks or rural locations, that offered minimal security, no climate or humidity controls, and there was very little focus on customer service,” explains Steve Creighton. “We recognized there was a demand for quality storage in Ottawa, but there was virtually nothing available”. Dymon quickly recognized a business opportunity, but wanted to create a unique “made in Ottawa” solution. Before getting started back in 2006, Dymon did extensive research across the U.S. and Canada by visiting dozens of facilities, and quickly determined the attributes of the best performing facilities across North America. Taking these ideas and introducing a few unique offerings of its own, Dymon put together a “best of breed” business model. Arguably, right here in Ottawa Dymon has built the very best that self storage has to offer anywhere in the world.
10 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, February 14, 2013
“At the end of the day, your stuff is likely better off stored with Dymon than at your home or business” adds Creighton. From the outside, Dymon’s facilities are architecturally attractive and don’t look anything like storage buildings. “We have moved self storage into the mainstream by locating our facilities in easy to access, highly visible sites, usually adjacent to big box retail” says Creighton, “and with our attractive exterior look we wanted the marketplace to understand that we represented a new and totally different storage solution”.
WHAT DOES “BEST OF BREED” MEAN? Dymon’s facilities have many distinctive features that differentiate them from anything else in the Ottawa marketplace. By integrating leading technologies, Dymon has created the safest and most convenient way to store your excess stuff. Starting with its complete and total humidity and climate controlled environment, Dymon’s facilities ensure no mould, mildew or bugs. Its advanced security features ensure your possessions are safe – besides having extended retail hours, Dymon also has a 24/7 Customer Service Command Center which monitors all of its facilities with personnel who can respond to customer issues at anytime, day or night. Dymon’s unique drive through bays (which are like airport hangars) provide complete protection from the weather and allow you to load and unload your stuff in comfort. Dymon even offers a free truck and driver at the time of move-in for your added convenience, taking away the hassle of renting and driving a large truck. Dymon’s facilities have
luxury boardrooms, mini-offices, as well as a vault and mailbox service. And in a short period of time, Dymon has become a leading retailer of boxes and moving supplies – you should drop by the facilities just to see their unique box displays! And the list goes on and on. But perhaps Dymon’s biggest asset is its relentless focus on delivering an exceptional customer experience. “Our highly trained staff regularly go above and beyond to help our customers deal with the stress of moving and storage,” says Creighton. “And time and time again we receive compliments on how helpful and professional our staff are.” With everything that Dymon has to offer, is it any wonder that Dymon Storage has taken the Ottawa market by storm? Dymon’s first facility on Coventry Road opened in 2006 and filled in
“and we continue to listen to our customers for new ideas on what they want to see from us”. DymonBox.com is its latest environmentally focused business that offers customers the oppor tunity to rent or buy eco-friendly storage bins ideally suited for moving and storage. “This is an incredibly convenient service for our customers,” says Jonathon Dicker, Regional Manager at Dymon, “renting the eco-friendly storage bins is cheaper than buying traditional cardboard boxes and includes free delivery and pick-up.”
just 5 months, and has remained full ever since. Because , location is currently undergoing a 30,000 sq ft expansion Dymon’s Coventry facility was certainly no flashin-the-pan – Dymon’s second location at Prince of Wales and Hunt Club was filled in only 6 months. Each subsequent facility has also experienced a rapid fill. Dymon’s Kanata Centrum facility, adjacent to Canadian Tire, is the largest self storage facility in Canada. Residential and business customers in Kanata / Stittsville / West Carleton are now enjoying everything Dymon has to offer.
SO WHO IS YOUR TYPICAL DYMON CUSTOMER? The reasons why people need storage are endless. For example, people selling their homes use Dymon. It has been proven that a decluttered, well staged home will sell more quickly and at a higher price. Dymon is also great if you are downsizing or if you simply have too much stuff and need to make room in your home. Many customers also use Dymon to store their possessions while their homes are undergoing renovations, or to clear out their garage in the fall to make room for their cars. Interestingly, the majority of Dymon’s customers are women. According to Creighton, “Women are the primary decision maker when it comes to storage, so we have taken particular care to
design our facilities to be attractive to the female consumer.” Dymon does this through its highly focused customer service, security, convenient access, and ultra clean facilities – all factors many women demand. “Women appreciate the quality that Dymon offers – they know their stuff will be safe and secure.” Dymon’s storage facilities are also very attractive to business operators. With free on-site board rooms, a parcel acceptance service, and flexible yet affordable storage leasing options, Dymon offers the perfect solution for a variety of busi nesses. “Currently about 25% of each facility is made up of commercial customers,” reports Creighton. “Dymon is perfect for business to store bankers’ boxes, excess merchandise, spare office furniture or work equipment, and seasonal inven tory. We even have some business customers who use their storage unit as their own mini-ware house instead of renting a larger building with much higher fixed overhead.” With the flexibility of month-to-month leases, business operators see Dymon as a great storage solution. Dymon is also preparing to launch a new convenient document storage, retrieval and shredding business ideally suited for all types of business. “These additional services represent another natural evolution of our business as we continue to serve our business customers better,” concludes Creighton.
Dymon even assists you if you want to sell any of your stuff. DymonMine.comoffers its customers the chance to sell things in a totally secure and convenient fashion. Dymon will photograph, describe and upload items to its website where potential buyers can view them or they can drop down to the facility and have a look. And just recently DymonMine.com introduced its new offer/ counter offer system where buyers and sellers can negotiate by e-mail, totally anonymously. The new process is fun, simple, and effective. When items are sold, Dymon issues a cheque to the customer, “Many Dymon customers were saying they wanted to sell some of their excess stuff, but they were frustrated that there weren’t really many convenient sales options available to them,”explains Dicker “ venient, hassle-free way for customers to sell and buy stuff.”
You should take the time to drop by one of Dymon’s convenient locations across the City – they really are unlike anything you have ever seen before. If you have too much stuff and need to declutter, and we all face that situation from time to time, Dymon should definitely be the place you end up.
Dymon is certainly not prepared to rest on its laurels “We are continually introducing new D y m o n h a s t o o f f e r, ” s a y s C r e i g h t o n

Khaled Khatib, left, who is walking from Ottawa to Toronto holding the Torch of Life JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND which was blessed by Pope John Paul II, is welcomed to Stittsville on Tuesday evening, Khaled Khatib carries the flaming Torch of Light with his companion vehicle behind him Feb. 5 at the completion of his first day of walking by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward as he leaves Village Square Park in Stittsville on Wednesday, Feb. 6 on the second day of councillor Shad Qadri, right. his walk from Ottawa to Toronto to raise awareness for the need organ donations.
Stittsville is first stop on Ottawa-Toronto walk John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Khaled expects to arrive at queen’s Park in Toronto on Friday, Feb. 22, completing the journey. And while Khaled is doing this “Torch of Life’ walk from Ottawa to Toronto to raise awareness about organ donations in general, he has a much more specific purpose as well. It is to help 28 year old Anthony Socci who needs a kidney transplant. That’s why the walk is being called “Anthony’s Hero.” After Khaled found out that he could not donate his kidney to Anthony, he decided to walk from Ottawa to Toronto this month in order to advertize Anthony’s plight as well as the plight of all those others who are in need of an organ transplant. Last year Khaled walked across Ontario to publicize the need for organ donations. Through his efforts for organ
donations, he has become friends with Helene Campbell, the Barrhaven young woman who made headlines on her need for a lung transplant by enlisting the support of singer Justin Bieber and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres. Indeed, a photo of Helene adorns the hood of the van which is accompanying Khaled on this Ottawa-Toronto walk. Khaled’s story is quite amazing – it’s one of generosity and giving. A Palestinian, his younger brother was shot by accident by Israeli soldiers in 2005. But their father used the opportunity not for reprisal or anger but for giving by arranging for the son’s organs to be donated to seven children. And the children were all Israeli, with five of them still alive today. Khaled, through his “Torch
of Life” walk efforts, is carrying on his father’s passion for organ donations. That’s why he is walking to increase awareness about the need for organ donations but also, he points out, he is walking for peace in the world as well. While raising awareness for organ donations is the prime reason for this February walk by Khaled, donations are also being accepted. These can be made online at TorchofLife. com. Khaled, on arriving in Stittsville, said that the cold, nippy weather that day had not affected him. He pointed to his warm clothing and noted that he even got quite warm from the walking. Khaled is carrying on quite a tradition with this walk as “Step by Step” has been undertaking organ donation promotional efforts for over 15 years now. It all began in 1997 when George Marcello, now the CEO of “Step by Step” who is accompanying Khaled on his Ottawa-Toronto walk, walked from Toronto to Ottawa to spark interest in organ and tissue donations. George had received a liver transplant and wanted to thank his anonymous donor in a public way. This initial walk by George
Marcello was followed by another walk in 1999 when George walked 2,500 kilometers around the province of Ontario, a campaign which brought about the creation of a provincial organ donation agency now called the Trillium Gift of Life Network. In 2000, George Marcello walked over 12,000 kilometers in 769 days, carrying what has become known as the “Torch of Life.” The Torch was blessed by Pope John Paul II. In 2004, “Step by Step” arranged a 200 community tour across Canada for Kristopher Knowles, a 14 year old boy who needed a liver transplant. In 2005, “Step by Step” arranged a European tour for George Marcello to gather information from the world’s leading organ donor countries and use the information to help solve Canada’s organ donation shortage. In 2007, “Step by Step” organized a student Torch of Life relay across Canada. In 2009, this was continued, even entering the United States where it passed through 13 States. In 2012, Khaled participated in the Ontario Torch of Life walk, carrying the Torch of Life which was blessed by Pope John Paul II. 0124.R0011874504

EMC news - Walking from Ottawa to Toronto. Impressive. Doing it in the chilly month of February. Inspiring. Doing it to raise awareness of organ donations. Awesome. This is what 21 year old Khaled Khatib is doing this month and the first stop on his 498 kilometer journey from Parliament Hill to Queen’s Park was in Stittsville at the conclusion of his 29 kilometer first day on the road. The Parliament Hill sendoff on Tuesday, Feb. 5 delayed his departure a little but by the time that he was walking along Hazeldean road at 5:45 p.m. opposite the Shoppers of Fairwinds shopping area, he had pretty much made up the time as he carried the “Torch of Life” in the descending darkness. He would be arriv-
ing at the Bistro 54 parking lot at the Amberwood Golf and Country Club just a few minutes after the planned 6 p.m. arrival. His arrival was streamed live over the internet as would much of his “Torch of Life” walk will be. On his arrival in Stittsville, he was greeted by city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who thanked Khaled for what he was doing in directing a spotlight on organ donation. After Khaled and his minientourage of George Marcello, CEO and founder of “Step By Step” and of a driver for the van accompanying him on his walk stayed overnight in Stittsville, they were off at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 6, leaving from Village Square Park with the Carleton Place Town Hall as the day’s destination.

Jane Hill named one of Canada’s top principals Blair Edwards blair.edwards@metroland.com
EMC news - Good things are happening to Jane Hill. In 2012, the principal of St. Gabriel Catholic School in Kanata Lakes was thrilled to see her school win an award for its innovative use of technology from Invest Ottawa. This year, the Stittsville resident has been named one of Canada’s outstanding principals by the Learning Partnership. “I was very humbled,� said Hill, who will accept the honour at a gala awards ceremony in Toronto on Feb. 26. “It’s starting to sink in, the more I think about it. It’s quite an honour.� Excitement over the news has spread among the students and staff at the Catholic school. “It’s just a great school, and (the award) brings attention to the school,� said Hill. “We have an amazing staff. The children are wonderful and the parents are very supportive, which is nice for all of us.� The Canada’s Outstanding Principals program accepts nominations from a principal’s staff, peers and community members in every province and territory. Candidates are selected based on partnerships with parents and communities; examples of innovation and
change that have improved the academic performance of students and letters of support. This year, 51 educators were selected across Canada, including three from the greater Ottawa area: Hill, Dave Chaplin of Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place and Carole Dufort of Caldwell Street Public School in Carleton Place. “Behind every great school is a great principal who is not only an outstanding educator, but an excellent manager and leader,� said Akela Peoples, president and CEO of the Learning Partnership in a press release. “We are thrilled to be recognizing these individuals as examples of excellence in public education.� The award winners will participate in an executive leadership training program at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management from Feb. 24 to 28, where they will discuss management issues with other leaders from the educational and business sectors. Hill credits her award to the school’s innovative teaching style and use of technology as well as the spirit of collaboration between teachers and students. She has been an elementary school principal for 15 years, two at St. Gabriel’s, six at St. Anne Catholic School in Bridlewood, four at St. Martin de Porres School in Glen Cairn

Stittsville resident Jane Hill, principal of St. Gabriel Catholic School in Kanata Lakes, is one 51 educators named Canada’s outstanding principals by the Learning Partnership. and three at Thomas D’Arcy McGee Catholic School in Gloucester. “Before that I was vice principal at St. James (in
Bridlewood), so I’ve done the rounds in Kanata,� she said. When St. Gabriel’s, a junior kindergarten to Grade 6 school, first opened its doors

in 2011, Hill said she was determined to use an innovative teaching style that promoted the Socratic method, which focuses on the process of solving a problem. For instance, a Grade 6 teacher might ask her class how they would ensure six chocolate bars were equally distributed among 14 friends. The children would then be separated into groups and each would come up with a variety of ways to solve the math problem. “You’re going to have children working on it in different ways,� said Hill. “The children learn from each other. It’s just a really neat way of doing math. They’re going to understand math way better.� Teachers at St. Gabriel’s use iPads to track students’ problem skills, recording the process so they can be reviewed by both staff and parents. “That’s the thing, trying to capture their thinking, not just whether they got it right or wrong, but how they get there,� she said. “Then you can see where you need to go next.� Kindergarten teachers videotape children playing so they can observe their creative process and listen to their conversations. The iPad recording captures the child’s grappling with concepts such as bigger and smaller and the development of early math skills.

One child might be building a tower using toy blocks, and say, “My tower is higher than your tower.â€? The teacher can then ask, “Why is it higher?â€? St. Gabriel’s encourages students to bring their own personal devices to school, such as tablets and iPods, and Smart Boards have been installed in every classroom. “It’s a school that definitely embraces 21st century learning,â€? said Hill. St. Gabriel’s is an environmentally-friendly school, the principal aded. The school tries to keep use of paper to a minimum, sending emails and email alerts to parents instead of sending flyers home. The school also offers a number of green initiatives such as compost recycling, solar panels on the roof, and boomerang lunches, where any garbage is brought back home. Students can monitor the building’s energy use on screens placed near the front office. The Learning Partnership is a national charitable organization dedicated to championing a strong public education system in Canada through innovative programs, credible research, policy initiatives, leadership training and public engagement.

Chinese New Year at Kungfu Bistro John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Three Lions. A dragon. And lots of drum music. This marked the celebration of the Chinese New Year at the Kungfu Bistro restaurant at the Stittsville Corners shopping area in Stittsville last Sunday. There were two sold-out sittings, one at 4:30 p.m. and another at 6:30 p.m., both of which lots of drum and gong noise as well as festive performances of the Chinese Lion Dance and the Chinese Dragon Dance. These performances were presented by grade five students from Westwind Public School in Stittsville who have been rehearsing the dances for a couple of weeks for presentation at the school. But Margarita Chen, marketing manager of the Kungfu Bistro, was the dances not only to take place at the school but also in the community and that’s why these performances took place last Sunday. The Chinese New Year celebration began with the appearance of three Chinese Lions, who circled through the restaurant, performing this traditional Chinese dance. On each table little red envelopes had been placed, socalled “lucky money” enve-
lopes. Customers were urged to put a little money in these red envelopes and then, when one of the Lion heads visited the table to convey the Chinese New Year blessing, the envelope was to be placed in the Lions mouth, a sign of wanting to receive the blessing. The money donated was to go to the performing students. But the celebration was not over when the Chinese lions left the restaurant. It was then time for the appearance of a 35 foot long Chinese dragon who circled through the restaurant, even though it is not that large. But the serpent-like body managed to circulated through the restaurant and assemble for a grand finale in the centre of the restaurant. Both the Chinese Lion dance and the Chinese Dragon dance are meant to ward off evil spirits and welcome good fortune. The dragon has long been revered in Chinese culture as a benevolent creature despite its fierce appearance. Today, in Chinese culture, the dragon symbolizes power, dignity, wealth and respect. The colours of the dragon have their own significance: green is symbolic of a rich harvest; yellow represents the empire; gold and silver stand for prosperity; and red reflects good fortune and joyfulness.
Like the Lion dance, the Dragon dance is performed in time with drums, cymbals and gongs. Chinese New Year is the
most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of sev-
eral myths and traditions. In the Gregorian calendar of the Western World, Chinese New Year falls on different dates each year, a date
between Jan. 21 and Feb. 20. This year Chinese New Year fell on Feb. 10, with the presiding animal being the snake.

Championship for West Ottawa Black Magic Special to the News
EMC sports - Outscoring their opponents 30-9. Impressive. Winning four straight games. Amazing. Capturing the tournament championship at the ringette tournament in Whitby. Awesome. But that’s what the West Ottawa Black Magic Under 9 ringette team did at the recent tournament. The West Ottawa Black Magic U9 team started off the tournament on Friday afternoon, Jan. 11 by defeating Arnprior by a score of 7-2. An early Saturday morning game saw West Ottawa shut out Oshawa 80, a victory that they followed up on later in the day by beating the Whitby home team 10-4, vaulting the Black Magic into the championship final on the Sunday against Arnprior. The West Ottawa girls squeezed out a win in this championship final to finish the tournament with a perfect record of four wins and no losses and the championship gold medals. The goaltending during the tournament was shared by three players, all of whom played exceptionally well. The team’s defense really came together and checked the opposition well. This was a big reason why the Black Magic were able to outscore their opponents 30-9 in the tournament. For this tournament, the team was coached by Stephanie Nugent, with the assistant coaches being Lori Sheehan-Graham, Jason Cope and Andrea Parker. The tournament proved to be a great experience for the team. Unfortunately two regular team members and an assistant coach were unable
to attend the tournament and were missed by the team. The team managers organized this getaway and just like throughout the whole season, their support of the team has been amazing and most appreciated by all. West Ottawa Ringette Association ringette teams like the Black Magic draw their players from Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata. Ringette is a fast paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. It in involves six players on each team on the ice at any one time. Players are not permitted to carry the “ring” (ringette’s alternative to a puck and hence the sport’s name ringette) over the two blue lines. The ring can be advanced over a blue line only by passing it to another player. Ringette is related to ice hockey in equipment and playing surface but differs in rules and approach to the game. In ringette, the challenge is to catch or “stab” the ring. To catch the ring, a player must stab through the hole in the ring with the bladeless stick, usually while the player is on the move. Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck but the blueline rules force more passing. That’s why ringette is a game where skating and passing are paramount and where teamwork is a focus. The West Ottawa Ringette Association offers both recreational and competitive programs for players from ages 4 to 18, ranging from learn-to-skate Bunny programs to provincial ‘AA’ teams.
League play runs from early October through to the end of March. Beginning players under the age of 7 start in the Bunny program which is a learn-to-skate program that also
teaches basic ringette skills. They do not play games but may participate in scrimmages with Bunnies from other associations. The home arenas for the West Ot-
tawa Ringette Association include rinks in Stittsville, Richmond, Kanata, Carp and Kinburn. “Away” games came take place anywhere from Nepean to Orleans to Gatineau.

EMC news - It’s going to be a feet-first community. A proposed subdivision between the existing Fairwinds subdivision and a proposed Fairwinds West subdivision at the corner of Johnwoods Street and Maple Grove Road has been designed with pedestrians and walkers in mind. All 14 of its streets will have a sidewalk and there will be a pathway along the north side of Poole Creek which passes through the southern section of the subdivision. There will also be a pedestrian connection from the subdivision out to Hazeldean Road. In addition, there will be pedestrian connections to major collector and arterial streets throughout the subdivision. The 25.06 hectare site runs from Maple Grove Road in the north to close to Hazeldean Road in the south. The land is currently vacant. The proposed plan of subdivision calls for 202 lots for single detached homes, 100 semiR0011294477

detached homes, 123 townhouse units, a future school site, a park and open space along Poole Creek. There will be road access to the Fairwinds subdivision to the east and to the proposed Fairwinds West subdivision to the west. There will also be road access to Maple Grove Road and there is also a possible road access to Hazeldean Road, creating a four-way intersection with Sweetnam Drive on the south side of Hazeldean Road if a transportation impact study deems such a road access appropriate. Ottawa city council’s planning committee is dealing with the zoning of this land to allow this proposed subdivision. The lands are being rezoned from a “DR” (Development Reserve) Zone to a “R3Z” (Residential Third Density Subzone Z) Zone which is similar in effect to the zoning which applies to the residential lots in the adjacent Fairwinds subdivision to the east. There will also be some Open Space zoning placed on the Poole Creek corridor which passes through the southeast corner of the proposed subdivision.

EMC news - The city is putting teeth behind its new community design plans and secondary plans for rural villages. On Feb. 7, the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee approved zoning rules that will enable the city to enforce those new policies. The changes arose from last year’s rural review, which outlined policies aimed at supporting appropriate economic development in villages and encouraging growth and redevelopment in village cores, rather than spread throughout the countryside. While Manotick’s community design plan process is set to kick off later this year, plans for Carp and Constance Bay were completed last year and the city also outlined amendments to general policies for land use in rural wards. The villages covered by the new consolidated villages secondary plan are: Ashton, Burritt’s Rapids, Carlsbad Springs, Cumberland, Dunrobin, Fitzroy Harbour, Galetta, Kars, Kenmore, Kinburn, Marionville, Metcalfe, Munster, Navan, Notre Dame des Champs, Osgoode, SarsďŹ eld, Vars and Vernon. The terminology in the plan brings the description of land uses up to date to reect existing uses. Most of the changes involve changing zoning from village mixed-use, which includes a commercial component, to village residential, or vice versa, depending on what types of buildings currently exist on the affected properties.
There are also some changes to encourage people to establish home-based businesses. In certain areas along busier roads and in village cores, the number of non-resident employees at a home-based business has been increased from one to two and the business can now take up to 45 per cent of the area of the home (75 square metres). Other changes encourage residential care facilities for seniors to be located close to village cores to ensure close proximity to services and public transportation. The changes are meant to reduce the need for one-off minor variances and rezonings that result in a piecemeal approach to rural development. Village plans for North Gower and Richmond are not affected by the new consolidated plan because they were completed within the last ďŹ ve years and are up-to-date. Greely’s plan was reviewed, but didn’t require any changes, Ruddy said. There are some zoning changes that affect all 26 villages, including Manotick, North Gower, Richmond and Greely. Klaus Beltzner, president of the Manotick Village and Community Association, had hoped to convince councillors to amend the report to include context about the status of reviews of Manotick’s plans, but the best he got was city planning manager John Moser declaring on the record that the review is scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2013. A minor zoning issue in Carp Hills also was identiďŹ ed during the meeting.

Trio of girls donates hair John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - They go to school together. They all play hockey. They’re the best of friends. And now they have all helped out those battling cancer. They have done this by donating their hair to “Pantene Beautiful Lengths,” an organization that has partnered with the Canadian Cancer Society to encourage the donation of hair to create real-hair wigs for women who have lost their hair while battling cancer. This happened last Friday at the Scissors Hair Studio at the Jackson Trails Plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street when Claire Goold, Samira Mehdi and Abby Lee, three 11 year
Poem giving praise to Sobeys staff Special to the News
EMC news - Mrs. Addy Pantusa of Almonte, who is a senior citizen, is a regular shopper at Stittsville Sobeys. Just before Christmas, staff did something very special for her that she feels deserves recognition. She wrote a poem about the staff actions – a poem that she has entitled “Tip A Hat To Sobeys” and which reads as follows: “It was a very cold wintry day/Plus our car broke down and left us without wheels/To make matters sadder, Sobeys had a “lobster” special/More back luck to be unable to access such a super deal/Our hearts were down and so dismayed/Just two seniors without a way to travel/But hope is a word that gives inspiration/Maybe with some help we could resolve the situation/We live in beautiful Almonte, so close, yet so far away/We decided to call their Seafood Department to tell our sad case/The staff was very caring and did not leave us alone/They found a staffer who lives right next to our home/Our lobsters were delivered to our door and on time/ And even with the biggest and greatest smile/Our happiness was much more than words could say/It was truly amazing how the staff made our day/We all live in such a busy world/Eash of us in our own different life style/It’s a treat to know there are those who care/Trust Sobeys – They go that extra mile!”
old friends who are in grade six at Stephen Leacock Public School in Kanata, gave up some of their long hair so that it could be sent to “Pantene Beautiful Lengths.” This had been in the works for over a year as the girls wanted their hair to be long enough that even after donating the required eight inches of hair, their remaining hair would still be fairly lengthy. Once the hair was removed by hair stylist Christina Edwards, who is related to one of the girls, Claire Goold, it was bound up with elastics like a pony tail and placed in individual plastic bags, ready to be sent in to “Pantene Beautiful Lengths.” Each of the three girls had their hair styled by Ms. Edwards after the cutting had
been done. And this was not done quietly as about ten others – moms and friends – were on hand to witness the hair cutting. After it was all said and done, the whole group was off to a party back at one of their homes where they would be joined by even more friends and their dads. “Pantene Beautiful Lengths” was created to support and encourage women who have lost their hair due to cancer treatment by providing real-hair wigs to them. It takes at least six pony tails to make one real-hair wig. The donated hair must be a minimum of eight inches long and must be washed and completely dry.

The Stittsville Legion narrowly defeated the Richmond Legion by a score of 47 to 45 to win the fun day of sports (darts, euchre and cribbage) which was held at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Sunday, Feb. 3, receiving the famous fur-lined “Pee Pot” as the symbol of this victory. The over 75 in attendance enjoyed a great post-event meal served by Evelyn and her helpers. Thanks go to Fred and Aileen and all the others who helped make this fun event happen. Speaking of fun events, the Thursday and Friday “fun” darts nights at the Stittsville Legion are going strong. Everybody is looking ahead to the year-end banquet on Friday, May 31 which promises to be an evening of may awards, a dinner and music by the band “Smokey Rose.” All regular dart players will be able to attend for free while spares will be charged only a nominal fee. The Stittsville Legion will be hosting the Zone Mixed Darts competition on Saturday, March 9. Some of the best dart players from the area will be at this tournament.

Music, music everywhere at Sacred Heart High School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Music was everywhere at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Thursday, Feb. 7. The school welcomed about 400 visiting students as it hosted its third annual music festival. About 20 bands and choirs as well as a number of soloists were in attendance for the day long event, involving Ottawa Catholic School Board students from grades 7 to 12. Students were able to perform for adjudicators from Queen’s University and from the Ottawa area, receiving written and video feedback as well as participation in a private workshop after performing. In addition, students had the opportunity to attend a variety of small group sessions and workshops on song writing, recording and African drumming, among other topics. There were workshops dealing with performance techniques on various instruments such as the guitar. The school’s performing arts theatre saw performances by various school bands including Sacred Heart’s own band under music teacher Matt Dawber. An adjudicator sitting halfway back in the theatre analyzed the performances. Performances and clinics also took place in the school chapel while clinics and workshops were ongoing in a number of rooms throughout the school, including the library.
Workshops and clinics, usually 40 minutes in duration, covered virtually all the instruments – flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, percussion and, yes, even voice. There were clinics as well on recording, song writing, conducting, instrument repair, guitar and strings. In his guitar workshop, Holy Trinity High School teacher Neil Bateman began simply by explaining the best way to hold a guitar. The recording workshop featured Algonquin College students and aspiring recording engineers Jordan Rannels and Cory Bergeron who brought along three different types of microphones and with the help of students, showed the differences in sound achieved by the different microphones. It was a somewhat surreal experience for Jordan Rannels because just last year, as a member of the band from St. Mike’s High School in Kemptville, he participated in the music festival. St. Patrick High School teacher John Yemensky conducted the popular songwriting clinic, advising the 100 or so students who attended the clinic that they should consider becoming singers if they are interested in songwriting. He explained that often songs start with an idea, referencing two of the Beatles massive hits, “Eight Days A Week” and “Hard Days Night.” He noted that both of these songs arose out of catchy phrases voiced by Beatles’ drummer Ringo Starr. See MUSIC, page 32

Music festival Continued from page 31
Writer of about 50 songs himself, Mr. Yemansky said that a lot of songwriters will keep a pen and paper handy on which to write down ideas for songs, whether it be a phrase, a melody or a rhythm. You have to listen to a lot of songs and analyze them, he advised. Discover “what makes them tick,” he said. Soloists were not forgotten, as they were given 20 minute sessions to perform and receive feedback. Soloists include Marc Vincent of Sacred Heart, Anna Seguin, Angela Hopper, Janelle De Castro, Jarrett Jacklin and Max Box, all from All Saints High School, Lorenzo Bracchi from Lester B. Pearson, Aaron Rajesh and Amanda Bergin from St. Paul High School and Daniel Chen from St. Francis
Xavier High School. Even the school cafetorium became a forum for music. The five-member Manotick Brass – comprised of Kazimer Samujlo, Chris Sandes, Dave Yensen, Martin Luce and Harold Floysvik – gave a performance in the cafetorium during the lunch hour, even donning sombreros for one mariachi-style song. And the school atrium was not left out – students from various schools gathered there in small groups jamming and perfecting their music presentations. It was truly music day at Sacred Heart. This music festival was funded by the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Student Success Department to help encourage and promote arts programming in Board schools. See SACRED, page 33

Silent, live auctions at fundraising gala John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - A silent auction versus a live auction. Both raise funds but in different ways. And the difference was very much in evidence at the “Nothing But A Child� gala evening hosted by Main Street Community Services at the Sixty-Four Hundred Celebration Centre in Stittsville last Saturday. Both a silent auction in an adjacent room and a live auction in the main dining area offered a variety of items, with the proceeds going to help Main Street Community Services. But whereas the silent auction saw potential bidders slowly move along the tables on which the items were displayed and explained, quietly
pondering whether to write down a bid on the accompanying bid sheet or not, the live auction transformed the dining room into a venue of shouting and energy. Much of this was because of the lively repartee and bid calling by auctioneer Carl Steinburg, a long time auctioneer and father of Main Street Community Services executive director ShelleyAnne Steinburg. It was a challenging venue for auctioneer Steinburg as he was mainly stationed in the middle of the room, having to watch for bids in both directions. He got some help from helpers stationed among the tables and he at times ventured closer to the bidding table, all the while keeping up his auctioneer’s banter into his hand-held microphone. And with the excitement
generated came the flow of money. Even a pair of green shoes ended up bringing in $200. St. Patrick would be so happy! There were tickets for a Disney on Ice show at Scotiabank Place; a gift certificate and Ottawa 67’s tickets from a Don Cherry Sports Bar; a pair of tickets to any show at the National Arts Centre; a buckwheat pillow which, after Darlene Macdonald’s rousing pep talk about its benefits, brought in $120; a pair of 200-level tickets and parking to an Ottawa Senators game; a batch of white wine; and a whipper snipper that brought in $300. And so it went – auctioneer Steinburg energetically calling for bids and the crowd responding enthusiastically for item after item, with all of the
proceeds going to Main Street Community Services. The live auction happened just a little after parent Scott Carruthers, who has two children in Main Street Community Services programs, sang a song that he had written for his daughter Alysha a number of years ago, bringing on a standing ovation when he finished. “Alysha is an angel who has been sent down from the sky,� went the refrain as Scott, accompanying himself on the guitar, sang for the first time in public. The silent auction offered a host of great items, ranging from gift certificates to jewellery to an MX helmet to Ottawa Senators tickets to a golf bag to a wall clock to a radio to a quilt by Loretta McLean to a snowmobile jacket.
At the event, Main Street Community Services executive director Shelley-Anne Steinburg thanked all of those who had donated for the event and who were sponsors for the event. She particularly thanked Telus for their generosity in donating a table at the event so that parents with children in Main Street Community Services programs could attend and enjoy the gala evening. “They’ve gone above and beyond,� Ms. Steinburg said about Telus and its support of the event. This “Nothing But A Child� gala is a major fundraising event for Main Street Community Services and indeed, this year the event took on even more importance than ever since Main Street Community Services lost a major

source of fundraising with the recent National Hockey league lockout. Main Street Community Services provides volunteers to sell 50/50 tickets at the Ottawa Senators home games. Last season Main Street Community Services raised $15,000 in this way. But with the shortened Sens season this year, these funds will be down comparably, although Main Street’s financial needs will remain the same. Main Street Community Services, which is located at the rear of the former Stittsville Public School facility (now the Frederick Banting Alternate Program) on Stittsville Main Street, delivers services and programs for special needs children and their families with an emphasis on compassion, individuality and strong therapeutic relationship. Main Street Community Services has developed and implemented comprehensive, research-based programs. Its services and programs include residential and respite services, day school and after-school programming, social skills training, mentoring, parent support programs, individual and family counseling and a social skills summer day camp. As a not-for-profit organization and a registered charity, Main Street Community Services relies on the generosity of individuals as well as organizations, foundations, corporations and the community in general for the survival of its programs. In 2012, Main Street Community Services provided its services and support to over 200 families and their special needs children and youth. Shelley-Anne Steinburg, executive director of Main Street Community Services, can be contacted at 613-831-6606 or at mainstreetcommunity@bellnet.ca.

It started at 12:03 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 31, affecting over 10,000 customers in Stittsville, Munster and a section of Kanata. High winds at the time caused Hydro Ottawa to lose the supply of two Hydro One feeder circuilts that supply the Hydro Ottawa distribution system. Hydro One was able to restore power immediately to one of these circuits, bringing almost 4,000 customers back on line. Hydro Ottawa crews redistributed power with its service territory, restoring power to almost another 4,000 customers by 1:05 p.m. By 2:10 p.m., all customers had their power back on. Upon further investigation, Hydro one found damaged equipment at its South March Distribution Station. This equipment was able to be bypassed which meant that the power could be restored to customers. Residents are reminded that power outages at a home should be reported to Hydro Ottawa via its Power Outage

EMC news - History will be coming alive in Stittsville this Saturday, Feb. 16. Those visiting the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s open house at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. will be bumping into a host of historic characters, all come to life in 2013 right here in Stittsville. You will have the chance to meet and ask questions of these historic characters – people like the Duke of Richmond, after whom Richmond
is named and who in a freak of history died just outside the community in 1819. Or what about a chat with Mrs. Jonathan Pack – yes, the Jonathan Pack after whom a street in Stittsville is named. Or, given that this is another year when War of 1812 celebrations will be happening, you can expect to meet a gentleman and lady from the War of 1812 at this Feb. 16 open house. Children are also being urged to attend and ask their own questions of these historic characters. But there is going to be

even more at this Historical Society open house celebrating the launching of Ontario’s Heritage Week which runs from Feb. 16 through to Feb. 23. In the library meeting room, there will be not only refreshments but also two who have an intimate knowledge of history dealing with Richmond. One will be Marion Scott who has developed a Richmond Heritage blog and who is probably the preeminent authority today about Richmond’s history. Another will be Bob Moore of Richmond who has an extensive knowledge of railway history, including the railway heritage of Richmond. In addition, the meeting room will feature a number of interesting historic maps supplied by the Goulbourn Museum. This open house, though, does not stop there. It is also providing the opportunity for anyone to explore the Historical Society’s archives at the library. Volunteers will be available to show you the resources available
and how to use them including both the Society’s family and history files and its photo archives. There are both genealogical and general research resources and you can become familiar with all of them at this open house. In addition, both the library itself and the Historical Society offer a wide range of books for historical reading and/or research. The library also provides access to the website Ancestry.com. Everyone is invited to attend this free celebration of local history and Ontario’s Heritage Week on Saturday, Feb. 16 from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Stittsville library branch. And while you are there, take a look at the library’s Art Space Wall which this month is featuring a display of photographs of stained glass windows in Goulbourn churches. These are some of the photographs that are featured in the Historical Society’s recently published book “Goulbourn Stained Glass.” Entitled “The Art of Stained Glass,” this exhibit has been prepared by the Historical Society.

Stittsville Concert Band welcomes new members Special to the News
EMC news - Attention, musicians. The Stittsville Concert Band wants you. Yes, this community band, which was formed in 2008, is looking for musicians to join the group. The band is open to musicians of all ages from junior high school (grade seven) and up to senior citizens. The only requirement to join is that a musician must own or have access to an instrument. The band includes full brass and reed sections. It plays at community events, outdoor functions and senior homes. It also performs on occasion at festivals, pageants and other events. There are no fees involved in playing with the Stittsville Concert Band. Students are encouraged to join as more experienced adult players are available for mentoring. High school students can use their band time for community service hours. Another benefit of involvement with the Stittsville Concert Band is that it can lead to playing with the smaller Main and Abbott Dance Band, a musical offshoot of the main band. The Stittsville Concert band rehearses each Monday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the top floor of the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street. This is the former Stittsville Loyal Orange Lodge meeting area that has now been converted for band purposes. This rehearsal space has been provided for use by the band thanks to the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian legion which is the band’s sponsor. The Stittsville Concert Band now has a library of more than 1,000 songs, so there is lots of variety to the music that the band performs. Frank Martens is the conductor and artistic director of the Stittsville Concert Band. New musicians who are thinking of joining the Stittsville Concert Band should just show up at a Monday rehearsal at 7 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall or, for more information, should contact Christine Philipson at 613-831-1575 or via email at c.philipson@sympatico.ca. The band’s website can be found at www.stittsvilleconcertband.com. The Main and Abbott Dance Band, the smaller group associated with the Stittsville Concert Band, played its first three hour dance engagement on Thursday evening, Jan. 10 at the Good Companions Centre on Albert Street in downtown Ottawa.

Only one job for Wynne, MPP says Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com
EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren thinks that new Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne should not be adding the role of agricultural minister to her duties. He points out that she is an urban politician with no understanding of agriculture, adding that the province needs a premier to focus on that job alone and not juggling two portfolios. While he agrees that Kathleen Wynne is an experienced and articulate politician, he says that the Liberal brand is exhausted following nine years in power which, as he has pointed out previously, has included a number of scandals such as eHealth, Ornge
air ambulance and the cancellation of power plants. Morgan Goddard, president of the provincial Carleton-Mississippi Mills NDP Riding Association, sees Wynne as being on the Liberal Partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more progressive side, indicating a shift away from the extreme right wing politics that has been ďŹ&#x201A;ourishing in North America and a shift back to politics that includes consensus-building and solutions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Wynneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good candidate but the Liberals are in a bit of a jam,â&#x20AC;? Goddard says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She could be the next Kim Campbell.â&#x20AC;? Kim Campbell was a federal Progressive Conservative leader who was Prime Minister only brieďŹ&#x201A;y and saw her party nearly wiped out in the election following her selection as leader and Prime Minister.
Annual Veterans Dinner at Stittsville Legion Hall The evening will also see the appearance of a bagpiper and local Cadets will be the servers for the dinner. There will be a number of toasts throughout the evening. All Canadian Forces and retired members, war veterans, war brides and serving and retired members of Allied Forces living in the west end of Ottawa are all welcome to attend this dinner. But, this dinner ďŹ lls up quickly, so you should take quick action if you wish to attend. RSVPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are required. You should direct your response to Christine Philipson, the Stittsville Legionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poppy chair and youth education chair, at c.philipson@ sympatico.ca.

Free winter movie nights Special to the News
EMC news - The series began with penguins. Now it is moving on to dinosaurs before finishing up with a fantasy story about a wished-for child. This is the winter movie nights series that is being presented by Stittsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth connexion program. The free movies are being shown on the second Friday of the month in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. The first one â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Feet,â&#x20AC;? a 2006 computer animated musical family film involving a tap danc-
ing penguin - was shown last Friday, Feb. 8. This initial movie is being followed on Friday, March 8 with the showing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ice Age 3,â&#x20AC;? also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.â&#x20AC;? This 2009 computer animated comedy adventure film involves the story of Sid being taken by a female Tyrannosaurus after stealing her eggs, leading to his rescue in a tropical lost world inhabited by dinosaurs beneath the ice. This free winter movie nights series will wrap up with the 2012 Walt Disney fantasy drama film
â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Odd Life of Timothy Greenâ&#x20AC;? which will be shown on Friday, April 12. It is about a magical pre-adolescent boy whose personality and naivete have a profound impact on the residents in his town. Those attending these winter movie nights should take along chairs and blankets for comfortable seating. Everyone is welcome. The movies are all being shown starting at 7 p.m. There will be snacks and drinks available although they, unlike the movie, are not free.
Movies, concerts in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Outdoor movies are coming to Richmond this summer. The city of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth connexion program will be hosting weekly movies at the Richmond fairgrounds, probably on Wednesday evenings. These will be free with snacks available for sale, raising funds for youth programming in Richmond. Those attending will be encouraged to bring along lawn chairs and blankets for seating. These weekly family movie nights throughout the summer will follow a format that has been happening at Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville.
Last summer free movies were shown at this park on Tuesday evenings. But free outdoor movies are not the only new thing happening in Richmond this coming summer. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Department has announced that there will be two outdoor concerts staged at the Richmond fairgrounds this summer, scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 1 and Thursday, Aug. 8. This will be an expansion of the Waste Management-sponsored outdoor concert program. Waste Management has been sponsoring such outdoor concerts in both West Carleton and Stittsville in recent years and now the program is being extended to Richmond for two concerts this summer.

Shootout in Prospects Game Special to the News
EMC news - The Metro/Valley Conference of the Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League put its best foot, that is, skate forward at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in Stittsville last Saturday afternoon, Feb. 9. It was the Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Prospects Game with the Metro Division top prospects taking on the Valley Division top prospects. Suiting up for the Valley Division prospects were players from the Stittsville Royals, Almonte Thunder, Perth Blue Wings, Arnprior Packers, Renfrew Tim-
berwolves and Shawville Pontiacs. The Stittsville Royals players included goalie Arun Kumar and forwards Michael Di Bello and Kevin Groulx. These Valley Division prospects took on players from the Metro Division including the Clarence Creek Beavers, Gatineau Mustangs, Metcalfe Jets, Ottawa Junior Canadians and Ottawa West Golden Knights. And when all the action on the ice was over, the Metro Division emerged with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Valley Division. The Valley Division took a 3-0 lead
into the third period but the Metro players came back to tie it up. A five minute overtime period settled nothing, so it was on to a shootout with the Metro Division coming out on top over the Valley Division. The game began with a ceremonial faceoff in which Johnny Leroux, after whom the arena is named, participated, along with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. Game day sponsors for this game were Rink Pro Sports of Stittsville, Urbandale, Kanata Transport & Logistics Limited and Edward Jones financial services.
Councillor For Hire On January 31st, I had the opportunity to spend the day as an employee at the Trail Road Waste Facility, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very own landďŹ ll off of Moodie Drive. It was a cold, windy day but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the garbage trucks from rolling in. In the morning, I worked the scale house where I did the weigh-ins for garbage trucks, residential waste, construction waste and a truck that barely had the life in the engine to make it up the ramp. I thought he was bringing the truck to the dump but it turns out it was the contents. I then went to check the temperatures of the leaf and yard waste compost wind rows. As per the Ministry of the Environment, these need to be checked every day and need to be at least 55° Celsius. While year round leaf and yard waste ends up at Orgaworld, the volume is so high during the fall and spring that this excess comes to Trail Road and is turned into compost on site. After this, I went in to the new building currently under construction and did some painting. It was the second of three coats, so clearly they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trust to do that good of a job. The rest of the day was spent on the landďŹ ll itself operating machinery, packing garbage, and bringing in material to provide cover at the end of the day. At the end of each work day, all garbage is covered and at any given time, no more than a couple hundred square metres of garbage can actually be seen in plain sight. It is a very impressive operation with plenty of jobs that keep the staff on site extremely busy and always moving. After working with several different employees, one thing became very clear: these people love working here. One individual told me that he feels he has the best job in the City of Ottawa. It is a busy place with unpredictable weather, but there is a great team mentality here and that makes it a great place to work. Having this landďŹ ll in Rideau-Goulbourn, it was a great opportunity to see how this operation works and also to see what happens with the different types of waste once they arrive on site. Thanks to the staff and management for inviting me to spend the day at Trail Road as an employee.

‘True Grace’ sings at Music Evening John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Whether singing contemporary or worship songs, one thing is consistent with the youth trio know as “True Grace” which performed at the Music Evening Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday – and that’s harmony. Indeed, this harmony gives the group an angelic sound, particularly when singing one of the gospel or worship songs which populated much of the group’s repertoire at this Music Evening appearance. The trio’s rendition of “Amazing Grace,” delivered with a slower tempo than is traditionally heard, was a real show stopper. But, then again, who does not like “Amazing Grace” and its messages of forgiveness and redemption. No wonder it is one of the most recognizable songs in the English speaking world and probably the most well known Christian hymn today. But there was much more to their repertoire than just worship songs. “Hey, Soul Sister,” a mid-tempo pop song first done by the American rock band Train which has become one of the most downloaded songs in history, was done with, quite appropriately, a touch of soul and when you combine that with this group’s harmonic bent, you have music to remember. And when you talk about catchy, memorable melodies and tunes, you can’t beat “Wavin’ Flag” which “True Grace” performed on this evening. Undoubtedly some left that evening with those lyrics still roaming around in their minds – “When I get older I will be stronger/They’ll call me freedom, just like a wavin’ flag.” It is no wonder that this pop song, re-
leased in 2008 on an album by SomaliCanadian artist K’naan, has become a global hit and was chosen as Coca-Colas promotional anthem for the 2010 world Cup hosted by South Africa. It’s just that catchy. “True Grace” is a trio comprised of sisters Celine Masson and Danielle Masson along with Michelle McGruer who not only joins in on the vocals but plays the guitar as well. The group sings at weekly mass at St. Philip’s Church in Richmond, having met through a Catholic Youth Movement called “The Challenge.” They have developed a repertoire of songs not only of praise and worship but also including contemporary songs. Michelle McGruer is no stranger to the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. She not only works there parttime as a barista but she performed there as a soloist several weeks ago to raise funds for Project Upstream, an organization that provides community mental health support through affordable housing and is now expanding to support youth with mental health issues. The previous time that she performed at Gaia Java, it was a snowy, wintry evening. The same held true for last Friday’s appearance by “True Grace.” But despite the weather outside, both occasions resulted in musical evenings that produced many warm musical memories. Friday Music Evenings happen at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop every Friday, with free admission and everyone welcome. However, the best seats do go early, so those planning to attend are advised to get there early if possible.

As this plan in is in the initial phases, we are looking for your ideas and comments to inform and shape the project! The online campaign is now running until Sunday, February 17th, 2013 at www.ottawa.ca/stittsvillecdp or call 3-1-1 to voice your ideas!

Work to date on the CDP is scheduled to be presented to the Stittsville community at a public consultation event in March 2013. The final CDP will be completed by the end of the year, and will include an inventory of heritage features, a traffic study, policy directions and design guidelines for future development, as well as 3D computer models of the area. BREAK AND ENTER CONCERNS
Ottawa Police Services have issued the following release regarding recent break and enter concerns: Recently, various door to door salespeople have been reported in the Stittsville/Kanata area. There have been complaints of aggressive sales techniques and questionable tactics (including false claims or data) to encourage residents to purchase. As with any purchase, do your own research to determine if this product is suitable and beneficial for you and your home. Ask the salesperson to leave pamphlets or advertising material and you can get back to them at your convenience. Do not feel pressured to answer questions or to allow a stranger into your residence and feel free to terminate the conversation when you no longer wish to engage with them. If you ask them to leave your property and they do not, please call Police.

Late goal sinks Royals John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC sports - The Stittsville Royals lost to Almonte Thunder by the closest of margins in Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League action at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon, Feb. 10. After a scoreless first period, the Royals got on the board first with Alex Bouchey’s goal at the 2:16 mark of the second period. Almonte game back later in the period to tie up the score and that’s the way the game entered the third period, with the teams knotted at 1-1. In the third period, Kevin Groulx put
the Royals ahead 2-1 a little over four minutes into the period. But just like in the second period, the Thunder came back to tie up the game 22 and then, with less than two minutes to go in the third period, scoring to take a 3-2 lead. This is the way that the game ended. Nate Blankarn, Matt Kadolph and Alex Bouchey earned assists in this game for the Royals. The Royals directed 36 shots at the Thunder goal in this game while the Thunder had 34 shots on Royals’ goalie Karsten Pankhurst. The Royals failed to score on five power play opportunities in this game while the Thunder did not score on their

FREE FAMILY DAY FUN AT GOULBOURN MUSEUM
With the growth of the village during the 1960’s, the Royal Bank decided to move locations. It had stayed in the frame building on Main Street since 1926 (today it houses Pretty Pots), but in 1968 it erected a new building further south on the other side of the street. Although it’s since been renovated, the familiar one-story red brick building is the one that’s still there today in 2013. The flower shop keeps its flowers in the bank’s old vault as it is nice and cool inside.

Friends of the Jock River want fresh faces john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - For years, Brian Finch has been a leader of the Friends of the Jock River. He has been there since the charitable non-profit organization was founded in 1996 and has served as vice-president, treasurer and president. But now he and others like founding president Niel Barrington are willing to help in an advisory capacity but new leadership for the organization is required or else the Friends of the Jock River, which has been in dormancy for the past year, will cease to exist. A minimum slate of president, treasurer and secretary must be chosen at the upcoming annual general meeting on Thursday, Feb. 21 or else the Friends of the Jock River will not be able to keep going. Mr. Finch says that it is sad that people have not stepped up so far to form a new executive, pointing out that if the Friends of the Jock River does fold, it means that there will be no formal group monitoring the Jock River watershed as a whole. He said that the Friends of the Jock River has always looked upon the Jock River from the perspective of a whole watershed and not just as a backyard watercourse. He says that there is still a lot of work to be done, cit-
ing the destruction of wetlands in the Goulbourn area, the extensive development at Half Moon Bay with its storm water ponds in South Nepean and the changing water quality in the Heart’s Desire Heights area. He points out that every spot along the river is not only upstream from someone else but also is downstream from someone else as well. That means that any changes made have an impact on others, either upstream or downstream. Mr. Finch points to the extensive list of accomplishments which the Friends of the Jock River (FJR) have achieved over the years since its formation in 1996.. “It’s amazing what we have done,” he says. The FJR has planted over 15,000 trees along the Jock River and its tributaries including in the area of the Twin Elm bridge and at the Richmond Conservation Area. The FJR has erected one kilometer of fencing to keep cattle out of the Jock River while also providing a well and pump for the cattle’s drinking needs. The FJR has participated in various planning matters and issues including the Munster forcemain sewer, the Jock River subwatershed studies, the Richmond Village plan, the Riverbend Golf Club rezoning and subdivision ap-
plication, and zoning and site plan approvals for various quarries in the Stittsville area including the Cavanagh Construction Beagle Club Quarry, the Cavanagh Construction Henderson Quarry and the R.W. Tomlinson Stittsville Quarry. The FJR has also submitted comments on requests for permits to take water from the Jock River watershed including request from the Riverbend Golf Club, the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club, the Dwyer Hill RV Resort and Campground and Courtyard Developments (Hyde Park in Richmond). The FJR has participated on the Richmond Conservation Area Community Advisory Team and organized river clean-ups in Richmond for five years and in the Greenbank/Jockvale Road area for over five years. The FJR initiated a request asking the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to remove the Heart’s Desire weir on the Jock River. The FJR provided a car shuttle service for several years for the Upper Jock River Canoe Race and conducted a photographic contest to promote the Jock River. The FJR conducted annual spring canoe excursions into the Richmond Fen wetland. It also planned and installed a wildlife ramp at the Ashton
Judy Wagdin heads RVA John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Judy Wagdin is the new president of the Richmond Village Association (RVA). She was elected by acclamation at the RVA’s annual general meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 5 in Richmond. Others on the RVA executive for the coming year are Doug Arnold as secretary, Heather Martineau as treasurer and Bruce Webster as past president, replacing immediate past president Don Flanders who is not able to commit to attending regular meetings. Serving as directors for the coming year are Leslie Abraham, Chris King, Lynne Owen, Harvey Snyder, David Proulx, Beth Gordon, Jim Macgillivray, Karen Macgillivray, Shelley Lafleur, Justin Schmidt-Clever, John Shearer, Kristine Quarrington, Jeff Quarrington, Liam Cardill and Tracey Doerner. At the annual general meeting, which was attended by about 25 people including city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn councillor Scott Moffatt in the basement hall at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond, past president Bruce Webster recounted some of the major high-
lights of 2012 for the RVA. These included the Village Garage Sale in May which saw no rain for the first time in five years, village beautification with the hanging flower pots and floral barrels, participation in the Richmond Fair parade and Christmas activities like the Winter Wonderland street banner contest, the Santa Claus parade and the Lighting of the Park. Other RVA activities included an exercise program for seniors and a Clean Up Richmond poster contest for students. Treasurer Heather Martineau reported at the meeting that the RVA’s budget of $16,425 for 2012 was overspent by $340.10. She said that because the RVA did not generate the revenue expected, the RVA had to dip into its reserves to cover about half of the year’s budget. Treasurer Martineau explained that revamping of the RVA website in 2012 at a cost of $3,500 ate up a good portion of the RVA budget for the year. This said that the proposed 2013 budget, which still must be approved, shows spending of $8,525, covering both RVA programs and operational costs. The RVA is expecting a grant of $7,213 from the city and has $3,993.60 in the bank.
Girls’ fitness program - maybe! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - A program introducing girls to different types of fitness programs may be offered in Richmond. The City of Ottawa Parks and Recreation Department is partnering with the Richmond Village Association to submit an application to the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for funding for such a program.
The program would include an introduction to different forms of fitness programming such as Zumba and Pilates. In addition, topics such as healthy eating and developing a healthy self-image would be part of the program. The program would be aimed at girls in grade five and up, with the idea of getting this age group more physically active. This age group was selected due to a feeling that this seg-
ment of female youth tend to be less involved in organized sport than boys and so might enjoy a program that might get them more physically active. It is envisioned that the program would be offered free of charge or perhaps at just a minimal cost. The application for funding must be submitted by Tuesday, March 19. The program would begin if and when the funding is approved.
dam on the Jock River. It was the Friends of the Jock River (FJR) which obtained funding from various local government sources for the installation by the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) of a permanent water gauge on the Jock River at the Franktown Road west of Richmond. The FJR conducted a multiyear water sampling program in support of the RVCA’s Jock River watershed plan in 2001 and also provided comments on the drafts of this plan. The FJR assembled volunteers to survey stretches of the Jock River and its King’s Creek tributary following the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources Macro Stream Assessment Protocol. The FJR participated in a project in which walleye in the Jock River were implanted with radio transmitters and were tracked to determine migration patterns. The FJR has, over the years, monitored wetlands in the Jock River watershed and has reported destructive events to the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. The FJR has also requested municipal government to provide signage for the river at various Jock River bridges. In 2004, the Friends of the Jock River received the Outstanding Achievement In Natural History Conservation
Award from the Ottawa Field Naturalists Club. In 2006, the FJR received an Award for Excellence in Environmental Conservation (group) from the National Capital Region Wildlife Festival. In 2007, the FJR was nominated for Service Club/Non-Profit Organization of the Year Award from the Nepean Chamber of Commerce. In 2012, most of the FJR executive, who had been serving virtually from the organization’s beginning in 1996, were suffering from volunteer burnout and believed that it was time to pass on the torch to others willing to advocate for the Jock River and its health. But no new executive was able to be elected at the 2012 annual general meeting and so it was dormancy for the FJR pending another try at forming a new executive this year. There is a nominating committee now that would like to hear from anyone interested in becoming involved with the FJR and assuming a place on the executive. This could include people who are interested in improving the environment of the Jock River or people who are interested in environmental issues such as water quality and quantity as well as fisheries and riparian habitat restoration. But it could also include
people who have experience in finance, project management and human resources. These are also fields of expertise needed on any FJR executive going forward. Any new executive members will not be alone. Some of the previous executive members have agreed to serve in an ex-officio advisory capacity to any new executive. The executive meets once a month on a week night. The executive positions have a minimum one year term. If you might be interested and want to contact the nominating committee, contact information is available on the FJR website at www.jockriver.org. The annual general meeting of the Friends of the Jock River will take place on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Barrhaven Loblaws on Greenbank Road near Strandherd Drive in Barrhaven. The Jock River, which empties into the Rideau River near Manotick, has its headwaters in wetland areas in Beckwith township west of Ashton. The river flows through Goulbourn township, starting in Ashton and going near Munster before passing through the village of Richmond. It then flows through Nepean and through the Barrhaven community (Half Moon Bay) before emptying into the Rideau River.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Mother had emptied the big white envelope onto the kitchen table. It had been crammed full with Valentines bought at the drug store in Renfrew. They were of the simplest kind and each one had a little flap at the bottom that could be bent to allow the Valentine to stand on its own. As always there was one larger Valentine, much more elegant than the others, for the teacher. There was usually a great argument who would get the teacher card, until Mother settled the issue by having the whole five of us sign the back of it. The entire packet wouldn’t have cost Mother more than a quarter. Valentine’s Day at Northcote School was something special. There was always a cake, we wore our next-to-Sunday best clothes and Miss Crosby crammed an entire day’s lessons into the morning, so that the afternoon could be given over to the celebration of Valentine’s Day. That year, when I was about six years old and still one of the youngest at Northcote School, I remember Valentine’s Day as if it were yesterday. The teacher always chose someone to be the mailman and as usual Marguirite was given the job. Miss Crosby took the lid off the big white mail box and handed Marguirite about five cards at a time. It wasn’t unusual to get a dozen or more Valentines that day. Most of them were signed by the sender, but some just had “from Guess Who” on them. These could be funny, or in some cases with the pupils in

Valentines Day culprit inspires red blushes
Senior Fourth, they bore words that bordered on romance. Of course, these were never signed and I could see my sister Audrey and her friends look around the room, giggle, and try to guess who the sender was. Yes, there were great mysteries abounding on Valentine’s Day at Northcote School. My little friends Joyce and Velma, of course, had cards for me, signed “friends forever” which gladdened my heart. Then there was one card, the picture of which is as vivid in my mind today, as it was back then in the 1930s. In itself, it wasn’t out of the ordinary. There was a picture of a little girl and whoever sent it to me had taken a red crayon and coloured on masses of tangled red curls. They completely covered her head and cascaded down over her shoulders. She was quite a mess and of course I had flaming red hair. There was enough space left at the bottom for the sender to print “I hate red hair.” That was bad enough to turn my face crimson and I quickly scanned the room to see who could be the culprit. Yet there was no sign of recognition. I turned the card over and there in bold printing, with the same red crayon were the words, “unless it’s on a cat!” Who could have done such a dastardly deed? Cecil! I just knew it had to be Cecil! But could it be? After all, most of the Briscoes had flaming red hair too! But Cecil was clever
enough to know that would throw me off. Yes, it had to be Cecil and there he sat, the picture of innocence. He was on such good behaviour that day that I questioned if he in fact did send me the card. He didn’t even crack his toes in his gum rubbers or wiggled his ears one at a time when Miss Crosby wasn’t looking. No, it couldn’t have been Cecil. After we had all been given a piece of the Valentine cake, we were ordered to wipe off our desks. Heaven forbid that there would a crumb left for the mice who came out of the woodwork every night. Joyce and I were given the job of sweeping up the crumbs and as we worked our way up and down the aisles, she with the dustpan and me with the broom, just as I was about to put the broom under Marguirite’s desk, there was a stub of a bright red crayon! EDITOR’S NOTE: Many times Mary has been asked if the people she writes about really existed. As she says, some names have been changed to protect the innocent. Others have graciously allowed her license to use their names in her stories. Such a person was Cecil, who Mary has written about for decades. With a heavy heart, Mary was informed on Feb. 5 that Cecil Brisco died that morning on the family farm at Northcote. Cecil’s family has agreed that he can still be very much a part of Mary’s memories of growing up during the Depression.

Fluffy potato pancakes are More singers welcome with a tasty breakfast or supper the Goulbourn Male Chorus Special to the News
EMC lifestyle - Potatoes are classified as long, round whites, round reds, or sweet. Long potatoes are the most popular. The interior is white, the skin varies from brown and rough (Russet Burbank, Russet Norkotah and Frontier Russet varieties) to buff-colored and smooth (Shepody). Round whites are usually large, round or oval with light to medium skin. The flesh is white (Kennebec, Superior and Cherokee) or yellow (Yukon Gold). Round reds have rosy red, thin, glossy skins, but otherwise they’re similar to round whites. Popular varieties are Chieftain, Rideau, Norland and Sangre. Sweet potatoes (not to be confused with yams, which are sub-tropical) have sweet-tasting orange flesh. Beauregard, with reddish skin, and the smaller copper-toned Jewel are the major sweet varieties grown in Ontario. Potatoes are an excellent source of potassium, a good source of vitamin C and a source of fibre and folacin. Enjoy these hearty yet fluffy potato pancakes for breakfast with applesauce or maple syrup. They are equally delicious served for dinner accompany with gravy, ham and carrots. Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 16 minutes Serves eight.
Ingredients 250 ml (1 cup) whole wheat flour 250 ml (1 cup) all-purpose flour 10 ml (2 tsp.) baking powder 5 ml (1 tsp.) baking soda 1 ml (1/4 tsp.) salt 1 egg 375 ml (1 1/2 cups) part-skim milk 250 ml (1 cup) mashed potatoes 30 ml (2 tbsp.) maple syrup 22.5 ml (1 1/2 tbsp.) canola oil 15 ml (1 tbsp.) white vinegar Vegetable cooking spray Directions In a bowl, whisk together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking power, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, milk, potatoes, maple syrup, oil and vinegar. Stir into flour mixture and combine. Heat large non-stick skillet over medium heat; coat lightly with cooking spray. Ladle about one quarter of a cup batter per pancake into skillet. Cook for two minutes or until bottoms are golden and edges look dry; turn and cook for two minutes longer or until golden and puffed. Repeat with remaining batter, spraying skillet and adjusting heat as necessary to prevent burning.
Open Table Community Dinner Special to the News
EMC news - It’s not on Valentines Day but it’s awfully close. So why not consider taking your loved one or your family loved ones out to dinner to celebrate Valentines
Day. And what better place than the monthly Open Table Community Dinner that will be held on Saturday, Feb. 16, just two days after Valentines Day itself. This free Open Table Com-

EMC news - With their packed, song-filled annual Christmas concert now behind them, the Goulbourn Male Chorus is now resuming rehearsals which will culminate in its spring concert. While rehearsals have started, there is still an opportunity for more men to join the Chorus if they enjoy singing and the fellowship that comes from being part of a group. Already, three new singers are joining the Male Chorus as a result of the successful Christmas concert. With two singers now down south for the winter, membership at present in the Chorus numbers 27. But more are welcomed and encouraged. There are weekly rehearsals on Tuesdays from 7 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Unlike at the Christmas concert where the Goulbourn Male Chorus was joined by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the Hilltop Bell Ringers, the spring concert will see the Male Chorus going it alone, although with the presence of some guest instrumentalists.
But what a concert is promises to be, with a range of music including a ballad-style “Homeward Bound,” folk music from both the British Isles and Germany such as “The Lorelei,” “My Heart’s in the Highlands,” and “The Whistling Gypsy,” and western and folk music including the cowboy love song “Red River Valley,” the West Coast folk song “Hunker Down” and the East Coast song “Working Man,” made famous by Cape Breton’s Rita MacNeil. Now that’s going to be some concert. No date has yet been announced but watch for it. The Goulbourn Male Chorus is losing its accompanist as Barb Creech is moving with her family to Brockville this spring. Bonnie MacDiarmid will be serving as the accompanist for both the Goulbourn Male Chorus and the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. Robert Dueck of Stittsville is the music director for both the Goulbourn Male Chorus and the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus.
