Widened Carp Road may have roundabouts John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Family Day is fun day at Goulbourn Museum. See page 52

News - A widened Carp Road could feature as many as three roundabouts along the stretch from highway 417 south to Hazeldean Road. This at least is a possibility as one of the scenarios being put forward in the Environmental Assessment study being done for the proposed future widening of the road to four lanes is that there be three roundabouts instead of traffic signals. The roundabouts would be at the intersections of Westbrooke Road and Carp Road, Rothbourne Road and Carp Road and Kittiwake Drive and Carp

Road. One argument in favour of the roundabouts is that their implementation would require less land acquisition by the city than the installation of traffic signals with their related turning lanes. Other advantages would be savings on hydro and maintenance in the future and a greener appearance for the streetscape. In addition, roundabouts continue to function when there is a power outage, unlike traffic signals. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri told members of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) executive at its meeting on Thursday,

STAY WARM THIS WINTER

SPECIAL

Feb. 13 that city traffic engineers feel that roundabouts move traffic better than traffic signals. He said that while the cost of traffic signals and roundabouts are about the same when the cost of land acquisition for roundabouts is considered, he said that roundabouts allow traffic to flow all of the time and that any accidents that do happen at roundabouts tend to be far less serious than accidents which occur at traffic signals. He also cited lower ongoing operating and maintenance costs for a roundabout. While the Carp Road widening project is currently only scheduled for the

2020 to 2025 period, councillor Qadri noted that the city’s Transportation Master Plan is reviewed every five years and that in such a review, the timeline for the Carp Road project could change for the better. Besides roundabouts, another proposal being made for the widened Carp Road is that there would be no on-street bike lanes but rather multi-use pathways would be installed along the road for use by both pedestrians and cyclists. A yellow line down the middle of the pathway would separate the pedestrians and cyclists. See ROUNDABOUTS, page 3

Open house about Carp Road widening Special to the News

News - Another step in the Environmental Assessment Study regarding the future widening of Carp Road between Hazeldean Road and Highway 417 happens on Wednesday, Feb. 26. That’s when an open house will be held by the city of Ottawa in the lobby of the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. At this open house, there will be an overview presented of the progress of the study to date including the alternative designs considered and the evaluation criteria and methodology used to determine the preliminary preferred design for the proposed widening. Members of the study team will be on hand to discuss the project and to hear any input and feedback. The study is meant to determine the most appropriate means to increase the transportation

capability of this section of Carp Road. The city’s Transportation Master Plan of 2013 identifies the need for the widening of Carp Road from two lanes to four lanes between Highway 417 and Hazeldean Road as a project to be done between the years 2020 and 2025. The Environmental Assessment process requires the development, assessment and evaluation of various alternatives for the widening with the outcome to be a recommended plan which will then be presented to Ottawa city council for approval. Comments from members of the public are welcome not only at this Feb. 26 open house but throughout the whole Environmental Assessment process. Jabbar Siddique is the senior project engineer on this project for the city of Ottawa. He can be contacted at 613-580-2424, ext. 13914 or via email at Jabbar.Siddique@ottawa.ca.

‘Sea of red’ at Lions euchre Special to the News

News - The Red Sea of Biblical fame has nothing on the “sea of red” which flooded the euchre at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Thursday evening, Feb. 13. Nine tables were played in the midst of this “sea of red,” created thanks to the red worn by many at the euchre, all in honour of Valentines Day which was the next day, Friday, Feb. 14. Winning the prize for “wearing of the red” was Ron Phillips. As far as the cards went, what with those red bow-

ers showing up on occasion, first place ended up as a tie, with both Joe Borsa and Ken Campbell finishing with 76 points. Right behind them in third place was Bob MacGregor who had 75 points. Carole Kelly had the hidden score with her 52 points while Betty Conners, with 45 points, won the booby prize for the evening. Kennedy Foster won the door prize. And what would be euchre be without some skunks and both Joan Campbell and Shirley Beardsell had the skunk

experience. A potluck luncheon was served and it was great thanks to all those who contributed to the potluck. The Stittsville District Lions Club is hosting euchre parties every Thursday starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville from now through to mid-April. Everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre. In charge of these euchres for the Lions Club are Lions members Bob and Beth Lewis.

Music in the air at Sacred Heart High School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Music was in the air at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Thursday, Feb. 13. It was not only in the air but it was also in the theatre, in the chapel, in the learning commons and in various dedicated classrooms. That’s because Thursday marked the hosting by Sacred Heart of its fourth annual board-wide music festival. An estimated 500 visiting students and festival participants such as adjudicators, performers and clinic presenters spent the day at the school, making music, listening to music or learning tips of how to make music better. This made for a busy school as regular classes continued through the day for the Sacred Heart school population. Participating schools in the music festival included not only host Sacred Heart but also Holy Trinity, St. Joseph, Immaculata, St. Peter, St. Pius, St. Patrick, St. Francis Xavier, Lester B. Pearson and All Saints, all from the Ottawa Catholic School Board, and St. Michael of Kemptville from the Catholic School Board of Eastern Ontario. Concert bands, jazz bands, choirs, and vocal groups from the various schools all had performance times on stage in the Sacred Heart theatre. Choirs received a 15 minute adjudication following their performance. Bands were escorted to a clinic following their performance. Among the clinics open to the festival students were a performance followed by clinics by the Manotick Brass group; a percussion workshop with Ken Simpson, the principal percussionist with the National Arts Centre Orchestra; a performance followed by clinics by the Bel Canto Wind Quintet; and a drum workshop which saw three dozen participants form a huge drum circle as they learned the rhythms and techniques associated with African-style drumming. The five member Manotick Brass, featuring trumpet, tuba, French horn and trombone, gave a performance demonstration in the Sacred Heart learning commons, showing the three dozen or so onlooking students attending a variety of musical

complete with associated clown hats, wigs and noses. It was all about helping the students learn by listening. Following the performance, the group broke up into workshop/clinic sessions based on instruments – one for trumpets, one for French horns, and one for trombone and tuba. This is where the Manotick Brass musicians dispensed various tips and instruction about playing the various

instruments. For instance, trumpeter Kazimier Samujlo told his clinic group of students that a trumpet player should be able to “buzz” with the lips. He told the students that if a musician cannot “buzz,” he does not know how that person can properly play a brass instrument. He said that the mouthpiece of the instrument is like a microphone that picks up the buzz sound while the instrument itself is like the speaker for the microphone. He also instructed the students how to hold a trumpet properly, including the positions of both hands on the instrument, with the advice that for the right hand, the player should “let pinky fly.” The stage in the Sacred Heart theatre was the site for a half hour percussion workshop with Ken Simpson of the National Arts Centre Orchestra. He advised a gathering of student percussionists that even he, as a 30 year veteran musician, practices three to four hours a day, seven days a week as he wants to maintain his skill level. He not only advocated the importance of practice but he also advised the students that if they wanted to excel in percussion and enjoy it, they must each get a private teacher. This is because percussion is not easy, he said, with lots to learn, from how to space between the sounds to how to play slowly (if you cannot play slowly, you cannot properly play fast, he said) to the proper use of drum sticks (it’s important to have a balanced set of sticks) to playing from the shoulder, not the elbow. Ken Simpson was a busy person at the festival because he not only led this percussion workshop but then he joined the Bel Canto Wind Quintet, a woodwind ensemble, for its performance demonstration in the school’s learning commons, a performance which was followed by workshop clinics involving the group’s various instruments – flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn and bassoon. Ken Simpson joined them on the drums. The group played various tunes, interspersed with the individual musicians telling a little about their instruments to the assembled students. Ben Glossop, for example, explained that the bassoon is a double reed instrument that can play a range

of sounds from low to high. It was explained that the oboe is a musical relative of the bassoon. Pascale Margely told how the flute is an ancient instrument, dating back some 35,000 years. She also told about the piccolo which she called the flute’s little brother which is an instrument now used primarily for playing marches. It was explained that the French horn is a crossover instrument that can be found in both woodwind and in brass groups. This is because it is a versatile instrument that can play either loud or softly. After the performance demonstration, the members of the Bel Canto Wind Quintet each led a workshop clinic focused on their particular instrument. Pascale Margely, for instance, led a workshop on playing the flute which included tips like ensuring that the instrument is held in a parallel position, neither too high nor too low, since this allows for the most efficient playing. She suggested practicing in front of a mirror to perfect the proper position. She also gave tips on how to shape the lips to ensure the most efficient use of air going into the instrument and also how to move your jaw when trying for the higher sounds. She also showed the students the proper finger and hand positions on the flute. Sacred Heart has three dozen African-style drums and so a drumming workshop/clinic in the school’s learning commons featured a huge drum circle, with participating students learning how to hold the drum and various hand drumming movements. It was very much a “hands on” workshop, with the students getting an opportunity to play their drums and experience drumming’s rhythms, both individually and then as a group. Among those at the music festival at Sacred Heart were Katie LewisPrieur, the arts consultant with the Ottawa Catholic School Board; Jordan Rannels and Cory Bergeron from Algonquin College; Professors Gordon Craig and Dan Tremblay from Queen’s University; and community musical professionals Brian Boggs, who is a retired Sacred Heart music teacher, Grace Vigneron and Gordon Tait.

City, board earn failing grades

L

ast week the city turned down a request from the Ottawa public school board to build a desperately needed school in Kanata. The board recently secured provincial funding for construction of the school, a process that could best be described as wringing water from a stone, judging by the long list of similar requests in other areas of the city, such as OrlĂŠans, Findlay Creek and Stittsville, communities that are still waiting for a goahead from the province. The money must be used in a limited time frame – in essence a use-it-or-lose-it situation. The city has given the project a big thumbs down, arguing that a school doesn’t belong in an industrial area near companies like Nordion Inc., which creates medical isotopes using radioactive materials. There’s no actual safety concern, but the city is concerned about a backlash from the public based on irrational and groundless public perception. Nordion says it doesn’t want the school as a next door neighbour in case it chooses to expand its business. But is this really a concern the city should seriously entertain? As for the issue of allowing a school in an “in-

dustrial� area, there is precedent, says the board, referring to two schools in Ottawa as well as a French public school in Kingston. The board has already launched an appeal, as the city failed to meet the 120-day deadline to make a decision on zoning applications before the Ontario Municipal Board is allowed to take a hand. The board’s application was filed more than 200 days ago, but the city was forced to delay a decision as it had neglected to inform neighbouring businesses, such as Nordion, about the zoning request. According to Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, the lines of communication between the public school board and the city are poor at best. Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson has been working to fast-track the school at a pre-determined alternate location that is almost fully serviced (i.e. not yet fully serviced), saying it should fit the board’s time frame. The whole situation seems to be a comedy of errors. Whoever is to blame, the board and the city need to improve communication. Both will spend tens of thousands of dollars – taxpayer dollars – on fighting this out at the Ontario Municipal Board, a conflict that could have been defused with the help of a little goodwill and co-ordination.

T

he big fuss over the 50th anniversary of the Beatles arriving in North America shows you that the Baby Boomers are still very much in control of the news media. Nobody else much cares. The Beatles story way overshadowed another recent anniversary – the 30th birthday of the Macintosh computer – which is of far more interest to a younger generation. By the time the Mac’s 50th comes, the Boomers will be but a memory and the Mac can get all the attention it deserves, providing it hasn’t been replaced by something else, such as a little dot you can paste on your cheek that telephones people, plays movies and does spreadsheets. One of the things that is so striking about all this is how fast current affairs become ancient history. Most of the people who screamed when John, Paul, George and Ringo appeared on the Ed Sullivan show are now getting pensions. They will tell you it happened overnight. Most of the places the Beatles played are now parking lots, or, more likely, parking lots surrounding condos. We like to think that things last, but a lot of things don’t.

Now there is a coffee shop on each of those four corners. And you know what? Someday soon coffee shops will become a memory too. People will say: “Remember 50 years ago when there were coffee shops?� That will be too bad, because the spread of the coffee shop, whether locally or internationally owned, has been one of the more encouraging developments in what is called progress these days. Coffee shops are way better than casinos, for example, much healthier than sports bars, less painful than tattoo parlours, less intrusive than condos. Coffee shops will probably last longer than sports memorabilia shops

did, and probably longer than video rentals, too. But they will not be forever. Coffee will go out of fashion, replaced by some other beverage. Or people may decide, as many seem to be deciding already, that they don’t want to leave the house. They want to stay home and use their own fancy machine to make coffee, or whatever beverage replaces it. Meanwhile, what happens to those former bank buildings now occupied by coffee shops? Some kind of store, you might think, but isn’t it true now that shopping in stores is rapidly being replaced by shopping online (the revival, now that you think about it, of catalogue shopping)? Stores are over. The thing that replaces the coffee shop has to be something people will leave their houses to attend. Games could do the trick – at one point you could get people out of their houses to go bowling or even play miniature golf. But they can do that at home on the Wii now. Same goes for bingo, although I did see what looked like a big game going on in a shopping centre the other day. It could be a restaurant, but there are already too many restaurants. The same goes for bars. Actually, what there are not enough

of are parking lots, but parking lots are decidedly out of fashion among urban planners and civic politicians these days. Maybe they’ll come back. The fact is that we probably won’t recognize what goes there. No one, 50 years ago, knew what a video store was. No one, 30 years ago, knew that people would line up to drink coffee flavoured with vanilla and containing soy milk. That’s why planning for the future is not a walk in the park, as we would advise the new boss of the National Capital Commission, and probably why a lot of us would sooner spend our time thinking about 50 years ago.

As I have discussed in this column in the past, the City of Ottawa is undertaking the Carp Road Widening Environmental Assessment Study. The City’s Transportation Master Plan identiďŹ es the need for Carp Road widening from two lanes to four lanes between Highway 417 to Hazeldean Road as a Phase 2 project to be completed between 2020 and 2025. This was a project originally scheduled earlier but affordability has pushed that project back. This second Open House, to be held at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Wednesday, February 26th from 6:30pm until 9:00pm, will provide an overview of study progress to-date, including the alternative designs considered and the evaluation criteria and methodology used to determine preliminary preferred design for the corridor. Your participation in Open House meetings is important where you can discuss the project with the study team and provide feedback. There will be on-going public consultation activities during the remaining course of the study. Further information on the Carp Road Widening EA Study is available at ottawa.ca/carproad. Interested persons can provide comments throughout the EA process. Any comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

The annual North Gower Cooperative Nursery School fundraising event was a tremendous success last year with their Casino Royale theme. If you missed it last year, this is your chance to see what all the fuss was about. Keeping with the casino theme, the NGCNS invites you to this year’s Casino Las Gower and Silent Auction on Saturday, February 22nd. Try your luck at one of the several casino tables, including Black Jack, Poker, Roulette, and more, or take a spin at the Wheel of Fire. Peruse and bid on the numerous auction items available. Enjoy a snack from The Marlborough Pub and Subway, or satisfy that sweet tooth with a dessert from Cinnamon Catering or Sugar House, and of course the bar is always ready to serve up a cold beer or a tasty martini! I will reprise my role from last year as the master of ceremonies keeping everyone on their toes and well informed about when auction tables are closing to give you that last chance to outbid your neighbours and friends on that item that you just can’t go home without. I look forward to seeing you at Casino Las Gower! The doors open at 8:00pm, and the last auction table closes around 12:00pm. Tickets are $15 which will get you entry, food, and $500 in gambling chips – don’t forget that this is a ‘fun’draiser so chips have no monetary value, although they can be used to purchase rafes tickets for a door prize. Additional gambling chips will also be available for purchase. Tickets can be purchased from: Roxy’s, Perkins Lumber and at the door. City’s Wildlife Speakers’ Series Last year, the City of Ottawa approved a Wildlife Strategy that featured education as a strong component. The Speakers’ Series stems from that Strategy. Dr. Stan Gehrt, world renowned wildlife ecologist from Ohio State University, will provide insight on how people in urban and rural developments can coexist with coyotes, at the ďŹ rst event of the City’s Wildlife Speakers’ Series at 7:00pm on Friday, February 28, at Ben Franklin Place (101 Centrepointe Drive). Dr. Gehrt is the lead investigator in the Cook County Coyote Project, which has been studying the coyote population in the greater Chicago metropolitan area since 2000. This project has led to many interesting discoveries about how coyotes behave in different settings, and how they interact with humans and other animals. Dr. Gehrt will share his extensive knowledge and experience to provide a better understanding of coyotes – including how and why they live in settled areas. He will also show how residents can avoid problems with coyotes, such as taking simple preventative measures around their properties. In addition to the presentation, information booths will be on display from 6:00 to 9:00pm for residents to learn more about Ottawa’s wildlife and natural environment. The City will hold three more events in the Wildlife Speakers’ Series this year. The series is intended to increase residents’ knowledge and appreciation of wildlife and promote coexistence through understanding and respect. The next event is planned for April on the topic of Backyard Biodiversity. For more information on the coyote presentation, visit ottawa.ca. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email me at Scott. Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

Big boost from Kanata Toyota John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Kanata Toyota has given “Tysen’s Mission To A Million� a big boost. Maureen Graham of Kanata Toyota recently presented 13 year old Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville with a donation of $10,000 to help him reach his goal of raising one million dollars for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Eastern Ontario so that the wishes of 100 local children can be realized. And imagine the surprise of Tysen and his mother Linda when they arrived at Kanata Toyota to pick up the donation, with no idea of the size of the donation. You can imagine their surprise and elation when Maureen Graham handed over the $10,000 donation. It all came about because Maureen Graham knows Chelsea, the daughter of Tysen’s teacher at Goulbourn Middle School, Mrs. Roesler. During a conversation, Chelsea told Maureen about Tysen and his “Mission To A Million.� She subsequently checked out Tysen’s website, loved his story and what he was doing and asked Chelsea to have Tysen or his mother Linda contact her. This contact led her to indicate that she wanted to make a donation to Tysen’s campaign. Tysen and his mother dropped by Kanata Toyota to pick up the donation since Maureen Graham wanted to meet Tysen. But there was no mention of the size of the donation and Ty-

Eastern Ontario so that the wishes of 100 local children can be realized – their dreams will come true. “Tysen’s Mission To A Million� has now exceeded $40,000 in fundraising with this latest donation. And it will continue to grow as another charity night – the

second in several months – is being held at the Boston Pizza restaurant at Kanata Centrum on Sunday, March 2 when ten percent of all sales between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. will be directed to “Tysen’s Mission To A Million.â€? Although not yet conďŹ rmed, efforts are being made to have Star Wars action ďŹ gures on hand at Boston Pizza during this charity night. Tysen’s goal of raising one million dollars for the MakeA-Wish Foundation in Eastern Ontario is based on the premise that such funding would permit the granting of 100 wishes to youngsters with life threatening medical conditions, thereby enriching their lives and giving them both hope and joy. One wish on average costs $10,000, so that is why one million dollars is needed to allow for 100 wishes to be granted. Tysen himself received his dream wish in 2012 when he got to travel to Los Angeles to meet comedian/actor Adam Sandler. Now he wants to help make the wishes come true for other children. Hence his “Mission To A Millionâ€? campaign. Tysen and his campaign have been receiving support not only from Kanata Toyota and Boston Pizza at Kanata Centrum but from all over the community. Stittsville Public School and Goulbourn Middle School are also providing support for Tysen’s campaign. Tysen’s “The Guy on a Missionâ€? website can be found at www.missiontoamillion.ca.

South Carleton student Kelly Johnson wants to be chef News - Things are really cooking in the life of South Carleton High School grade 12 student Kelly Johnson. And they are revolving around her desire to cook. You see, she wants to be a chef and perhaps someday own her own restaurant. So her learning right now is geared towards this goal. She did a co-op placement at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata last year when she was in grade 11, a placement which resulted in a summer job and now a continuing part-time job there working on the banquet team. She enjoys this, meeting the challenges of how to prepare chicken or salads or sauces or desserts for banquet groups of up to 350 people. But this is not all – far from it. The 17 year old has taken a dual credit culinary program at Algonquin College. She not only took the program but flourished in it, finishing with the top mark among all of the participants. Not bad for a high school student in a college setting! She experienced in this program not only “hands on� learning but also classroom learning on topics such as nutrition, an important factor in food preparation. Kelly also switched to attend Sir Guy Carleton Secondary School for a semester last year because Sir Guy Carleton has the kitchens required to properly host such teaching. She says that she learned a lot while there, especially about baking and pastry. Kelly’s love of cooking goes back to her youth when she learned how to take from her mother. This is where she developed her love

of food. Next year, Kelly intends to attend Algonquin College although she will be starting in the second semester thanks to her already-completed dual credit program. She hopes to work in the fall to gain some experience and also to earn some funds for her college experience. She hopes to graduate from Algonquin College and become a “Red Seal� chef. But settling down or owning her own restaurant are not in her immediate plans. She has a desire to travel and wants to see various countries such as Italy and Japan. She is intrigued by other cultures and feels that her travels could help her learn a lot about the cuisines featured in other countries. “My goal is to know all I can,� she says in keeping with her desire to learn as much as she can wherever she might travel in the world. Right now, her vision is to learn all that she can about cooking and cuisine and see where it all takes her. She admits it might be fun to run her own restaurant but she also feels that teaching might be her ultimate destination. Kelly says that a person can do some cool things in preparing food. For her, cooking and preparing food is fun to do. Even just cutting things up with a new knife is a fun thing to do in her world. She says that every time that she goes to work at Brookstreet, she learns new things, with others showing her how to do things or in trying things herself and finding what works. She has found the staff at Brookstreet friendly and helpful which has really helped her enjoy her experience there. Kelly is now preparing for a cooking competition at Algonquin College that is happen-

But a major leisure pastime for Kelly is reading. She admits that she loves to read and always has a stack of books beside her bed, ready for reading. Indeed, she says that the Chapters book store is one of her favourite places. She says that she enjoys classic books, simply because their popularity over the years means that they will be a good read. She says that if she is enjoying a book, she will finish reading it in a couple of days. Kelly enjoys spending time in the summer at the family cottage at Lake Clear near Eganville where she has been going for her whole life. The family has a Chocolate Lab as a pet. Charlie, now 14 years old, was only two when the family got him. In Kelly’s view, Charlie is the “best dog you could ever ask for,� calling him calm and lovable.

ing next month. It will involve preparing a hot meal including soup, a chicken dish and dessert which will be judged. She is looking forward to it as a good experience and a way to practice her cooking skills. In the summer, Kelly plays soccer, something she has been doing for years. Living in the rural area of Ashton, she has played with many of the same teammates over the years. This has made for a friendly group that has made playing soccer even more enjoyable. Kelly used to take horseback riding lessons but now she really enjoys hanging out with her friends and with her older sister. She admits that her musical tastes include a little bit of everything, although she admits to liking the music of the American rock band Go Radio.

Longtime SVA director, now retired, praised John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Former Stittsville Village Association (SVA) director David Jenkins was praised at the Feb. 13 meeting of the SVA executive. Mr. Jenkins stepped down from the executive at the SVA annual general meeting last November follow-

ing a lengthy tenure on the executive during which he handled planning matters. SVA director Ayah Stretch, who has replaced Mr. Jenkins as the director monitoring planning matters for the SVA, said that she has been impressed with how much Mr. Jenkins cares for the community. “He is extremely genuine and re-

ally cares,â€? she said. “He is extremely dedicated,â€? she added in her remarks before presenting Mr. Jenkins with a gift certiďŹ cate for Cabotto’s Restaurant as a token of appreciation from the SVA for all of his work with the SVA over the years. Ms. Stretch added that she hopes that Mr. Jenkins will continue to

serve as an advisor to the SVA in planning matters. Mr. Jenkins thanked Ms. Stretch for the kind words and said that he had grown into his SVA involvement almost by accident by becoming involved with matters in his own home subdivision of Wyldewood almost 30 years ago now. He said that over the years, the

SVA has suffered a “lot of major losses� in planning matters but has also achieved some minor victories for the community. He said that it is important that the SVA remain in the eye of city hall and the city’s planning department. SVA president Phil Sweetnam also praised Mr. Jenkins for his contributions to the SVA, noting that SVA directors like Mr. Jenkins have been able to put a “community spin on things� in relation to planning matters.

Victories, competitive play for Kanata Rangers Peewee BB team Sports - Finishing the regular season tied for first place. Impressive. Winning three out of four tournaments entered. Awesome. But digging deep and rebounding from an opening game loss to fight back and defeat that same team in the tournament’s championship game by a 1-0 score. Wow! But this has been the story of the Kanata Rangers Peewee BB girls hockey team this season – victories and competitive play. It may not have seemed that way back last September when this Kanata Rangers Peewee BB team lost its final exhibition game prior to the season by a 5-0 score to the Nepean Wildcats. Would the team be competitive or not in the coming season, the coaching staff asked itself? Well, the question has been answered in spades. This Kanata Rangers Peewee BB team is among the best in the area. The Rangers have taken home gold medals in three of the four tournaments in which they have played this season including two in the past month. These victorious tournaments have been the Kanata Rangers Tournament

(Nov. 15-17), the Adirondack Northstars Tournament (Jan. 17-19) and the Nepean Wildcats Tournament (Jan. 31-Feb. 2). And what about the way that the Rangers succeeded in the recent Nepean Wildcats Tournament! The Rangers lost 4-0 to their biggest competitor, the Clarence Rockland Lightning, in the team’s opening game of this tournament. The road to the gold medals looked a little bleak at this point but the Rangers rebounded with two solid games, beating Potsdam 3-1 and Gloucester 7-0 to earn a spot in the semi-finals against Waterloo. The Rangers controlled most of the play in this semifinal match and emerged with a 2-1 victory, bringing on a rematch with the Clarence Rockland team in the championship final. The Rangers scored midway through the first period to take a 1-0 lead. But would this one goal margin stand up against such a competitive foe? The second and third periods of this championship final featured entertaining hockey with both teams having chances to score. The Rangers used

speed and a relentless pursuit of the puck to their advantage and when the final buzzer sounded, the Rangers were still on top 1-0. It was the gold medals for the Rangers. In the earlier Adirondack Northstars Tournament in January, the Kanata Rangers Peewee BB team advanced to

tied for first place with that rival Clarence Rockland Lightning team. The Kanata Rangers Peewee BB team is now preparing for the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association provincial playdowns to try and earn a spot in the year-end provincial tournament in Toronto

in April. The players hope to continue to play with commitment and determination so that the dream of a provincial championship might be realized. The Kanata Rangers Peewee BB team draws half of its players from Stittsville including head coach Craig Bowditch.

World War veteran Shelly Spearman dies Richmond waiting News - Longtime Richmond resident and World War Two veteran Sheldon “Shelly” Spearman passed away at the Kemptville District Hospital on Thursday, Feb. 6. He was 91. He was born in Stittsville in 1922, the son of Dr. Harold Spearman, a World War One veteran, and his wife Laura Hartin. Shelly attended Ottawa Technical High School before joining the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) at Lansd-

Shelly Spearman in uniform in World War Two.

owne Park in March 1941. Four of his siblings also served during World War II: two brothers, one of whom was killed in England, and two sisters who joined the Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC’s) in 1943. Shelly trained in Kingston and Nova Scotia before sailing from Halifax in November 1941, arriving in Liverpool, England. Over the next year and a half, he trained and took part in exercises throughout Britain. He landed in Normandy on July 11, 1944 while the battle for Caen was still in progress and moved with the Allied advance across northern France, Belgium and Holland. He was in Germany when VE Day was declared. And during his war experience, he experienced it all – both the tragedy and frightening times and the lighter happenings associated with wartime. On the serious side, he experienced a German night time air attack on his unit’s position near Caen, with the sky lighting up with flares followed by bombing. Five of his comrades were killed and eight vehicles were destroyed. On the lighter side, when with his unit in Belgium, he was riding a Harley Davidson mo-

torcycle at the end of a convoy. He was showing off a little, sitting on the gas tank rather than the seat. Crowds of people were cheering around the town square but the cobblestones were slippery. Shelly lost control of the bike on the slippery stones and he ended up on his back, eventually staring up at a pretty young Belgian lady who helped a somewhat chastened Shelly up. He then thanked the young lady and rode away on the bike, sitting on the seat this time. Shelly returned to Canada from his overseas posting in November 1945 but continued in the army. During one of his several postings back to Germany, he met his future wife, Brenda Sharpe, while on leave in England. They were married in England in July 1953. Shelly retired from the army in 1972. A longtime resident of Richmond, he was one of the 28 charter members of the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion when it was formed in 1973. He is survived by his wife Brenda and his sons Charlie, Robert and John, his grandson James and his granddaughters Averie (Rowan), Alexie and Alana. He is also survived by his sister Joan (nee Spearman)

Kemp. He was predeceased by his parents, his sister Marie Schnarre and his brothers Charlie, Lenord and Bill. A memorial service for Shelly was held at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond last Sunday, Feb. 16 at 1 p.m. Donations to the Kemptville District Hospital in memory of Shelly would be appreciated by the family.

News – Ottawa mayor Jim Watson’s idea to name a yard between city hall and the courthouse after Nelson Mandela is up for public scrutiny. Watson revealed the idea during his “state of the city” speech to city council on Jan. 22. “It would be a small, but meaningful way to recognize the man who inspired people the world over,” the mayor said. The proposal is under consideration by the city’s commemorative naming committee, which is seeking the public’s feedback. If approved, the area in front of the city hall heritage building facing Elgin Street, in front of the Human Rights Monument, will be renamed. Comments on this proposal must be directed to Diane Blais in the city clerk’s office by emailing namingottawa@ottawa.ca no later than March 14. The South African leader was the first living foreigner to be made an honourary Canadian citizen and the first foreign leader to be made a member of the Order of Canada. Mandela visited Ottawa in 1998 and unveiled a plaque honouring John Peters Humphrey in front of the Human Rights Monument outside city hall’s heritage building.

Stittsville Royals lose game, finish out of playoffs Special to the News

Sports - The Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League season is over for the Stittsville Royals. Playing ďŹ ve games in the last week of the season, the Royals needed a win in the team’s ďŹ nal regular season game last Sunday to make the playoffs. But this was not to be, as the visiting Perth Blue Wings defeated the Royals 4-2 in the game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville to shut the playoff door on the Royals. Perth had grabbed a 3-0 lead going into the second period. The Royals rallied, scoring a goal in the second period and another in the third to make it 3-2. But this was as close as the Royals got, with Perth scoring another goal with less than ďŹ ve minutes to play to take a 4-2. This is how the game ended. Talmadge Farnes and Tanner Knight scored the goals for the Royals in this game. Picking up assists were Jake Oliver, Alex Hulford, Jordan Cale and Keegan Rowe. Stittsville peppered 41 shots at the

Perth net in the game while Royals goalie Patrick Kealey faced 24 shots in the Royals net. The Royals took 23 minutes in penalties in the game while Perth was assessed 14 minutes in penalties. Perth scored its fourth and ďŹ nal goal of the game on a power play. This Sunday afternoon loss was the second in two days for the Royals. On Saturday night in Almonte, the Royals lost 3-2 to the hometown Almonte Thunder. The game was tied 1-1 after the ďŹ rst period which was followed by a scoreless second period. In the third period, the Royals scored at the 9:09 mark to take a 21 lead but Almonte came back to tie the score on a power play 36 seconds later to tie up the game 2-2. Almonte then scored again with less than ďŹ ve minutes to play to gain the 3-2 victory over the Royals. Almonte had 47 shots on Royals goalie Patrick Kealey in this game while the Royals managed 24 shots on the Almonte net. Alex Hulford and Tanner Knight scored for the Royals in this game

with assists going to Kevin Groulx, Jeremy Nichols and Keegan Rowe. These two straight losses came on the heels of three straight wins by the Royals earlier in the week. On Friday night, the Royals earned a 4-3 shootout victory over the Renfrew Timberwolves in Renfrew. Kevin Groulx and Alex Hulford scored in the shootout for the Royals to give the team the victory. It had been tied 3-3 after regulation time and extra overtime play solved nothing, so it was on to the shootout to determine the winner. Renfrew scored the only goal of the ďŹ rst period but the Royals came back with two goals in the second period to take a 2-1 lead before Renfrew tied it up with less than a minute to go in the period. In the third period, the Royals scored in the opening minute to take a 3-2 lead but Renfrew came back at the 18:10 mark on a power play to tie up the game and send it into overtime and the eventual shootout. Jordan Cale, Kevin Groulx and Steve Genier scored for the Royals in this game. Assists went to Kevin Groulx and Derrick Verrin with two

each. Royals goalie Patrick Kealey faced 32 shots in this game while the Royals had 27 shots on the Renfrew net. On Wednesday, Feb. 12 in Arnprior, the visiting Stittsville Royals doubled the score on the hometown Arnprior Packers 4-2. The Packers led 2-1 after the ďŹ rst period thanks to two power play goals but after a scoreless second period, the Royals rallied for three straight goals to take the 4-2 victory. Mitch Kerwin, Tanner Knight, Derrick Verrin and Kevin Groulx scored in this game for the Royals, with the Groulx goal being scored into an empty Renfrew net with less than two minutes to play in the game. Earning assists in this game for the Royals were Jordan Cale, Joey Laird, Keegan Rowe, Alex Hulford, Kevin Groulx and Jeremy Nichols. The Royals had 36 shots on the Arnprior net in this game while Arnprior peppered 31 shots at Royals goalie Patrick Kealey. On Tuesday, Feb. 11 in Renfrew, the Royals took on the Renfrew Timberwolves, skating away with a 6-4

seven wins, two losses and one tie. The Storm scored 46 goals while allowing only 24 goals in the team’s ten regular season games. The Storm started the season with a win, loss and tie in the team’s ďŹ rst three games, all before Christmas. But after Christmas, the Storm found its winning ways, winning six games while losing only one. The South Carleton Storm are now advancing to the semi-ďŹ nals in playoff action, with the team’s opponent not yet determined.

Sacred Heart Huskies finish in first place Special to the News

Sports - A loss in the last game of the regular season prevented the Sacred Heart High School Huskies hockey team from having an undefeated record going into playoff action.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Sacred Heart Catholic High School student Evan Bunkis points to the location of Managua in Nicaragua on a globe which is where a group of Sacred Heart students will be travelling at the end of February to assist with community projects there and to gain experience about living conditions in that country. Evan has organized a number of musicians to perform at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville this Friday, Feb. 21 to help raise funds to provide school supplies to a school in Nicaragua related to this trip.

Helping in Nicaragua while enjoying music John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Imagine – enjoying an evening of music while also being able to support and help out people in Nicaragua. What an opportunity! But this is exactly the opportunity that is coming up this Friday, Feb. 21 at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. A number of Sacred Heart students will be either singing or playing the guitar or doing both as they give the Gaia Java coffee shop a real “coffee house� feel on this particular evening. It has all come about thanks to the efforts of Sacred Heart students Evan Bunkis and Aly Smith, both of whom went on a school trip to Nicaragua last year. The trip enhanced their humanitarian view of life and so now they want to help out with this year’s trip and give back to those in Nicaragua who helped them with their own life-changing experience last year. Evan Bunkis, a grade 12 student this year, has always been involved with music, at one time playing with a band that played throughout the Ottawa area. So getting involved with a fundraising coffee house event fits right in with his experience. He will be one of the students who will be performing, with each performer playing music for about 20 minutes or so. Evan’s sister Annika works at the Gaia Java coffee shop, so holding the coffee house event there seemed to be a natural. And Gaia Java is on board with the event, not only in allowing the students to perform but also in directing all of the tips received in its

tip collection box at the shop to the students’ fundraising campaign for Nicaragua. Any tips donated all day long as well as during the music evening will be earmarked for the Nicaragua cause. All of the funds raised will go to fund school supplies for a school in Managua in Nicaragua. This is the school where the students on last year’s trip helped out. In addition, some of the students who attend the school now live in the houses which Sacred Heart students helped build during their trip there last year. So, the funds are going to help students in Nicaragua who have a real connection with Sacred Heart students. Each year a group of students from Sacred Heart travels to a developing country to provide assistance with projects going on there. The trip also gives the students first hand exposure to the conditions under which families and their children live in these countries. The students stay with local families, learning about the Nicaraguan culture. While there, the students take part in community projects such as house building, beautifying the community with appropriate murals and helping out at the school. If you cannot make it to the Friday music evening to hear the students perform but would like to support the fundraising, you can drop into Gaia Java at any time during the day and make a donation in the tip collection jar as all tips that day are going to this Nicaraguan initiative. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop is located at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Lions host youth public speaking competition John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - What do bubble gum, the Canadian identity, outdoor play, pets, water, Valentines Day and railway safety have in common? They were the topics for the speeches delivered in the junior category of the youth public speaking competition hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Feb. 12. Indeed, the audience knew the topic of 11 year old Julia Robertson’s speech even before she had uttered one word as she blew a bubble with her bubble gum before she began her formal speech about bubble gum, its 1928 inventor Walter Diemer and some of the places where you find abandoned gum. Julia’s effort earned her runner-up honours in the junior category as well as a specific mention in the comments made after the end of the competition by judge and city of Ottawa councillor Shad Qadri who delivered the comments on behalf of all of the judges. Judge Qadri remarked that the audience and judges knew what Julia’s topic was even before she began thinking because of her gum bubble blowing when she first stood up at the microphone. Eleven year old Karoline Moo emerged as the winner in the junior category of the competition, delivering a speech on the use of water and the need to save the world’s fresh wa-

ter resources. Other participants in the junior category of the public speaking competition were Olivia Brown who explained about Valentines Day – its possible origins and its present day impact not only encouraging expressions of love but also on boosting the economy with Valentines purchases (for example, in 2013, 190 million Valentines cards were circulated); Georgia Brown who spoke on the uniqueness of being Canadian and debunked some of the myths about Canadians such as living in igloos and drinking maple syrup; Connery Foster who pleaded for loving treatment for pets, urging the acquisition of a pet only if a person is willing to show the pet the same love and loyalty that pets can show to their owners; Kennedy Foster who pointed out that society has become over protective of its youth which is why there is not more outdoor play and a trend towards rewarding all participants in an event, not just the winners; and William Rolston who put forward suggestions on how railways can be made safer so that train accidents can be averted. There was just a single competitor in the intermediate category of this public speaking competition, namely 15 year old Christian Rolston who delivered a speech about shooting sports including target shooting, skeet shooting and hunting itself, claiming that such sports are safe and enjoyable.

The junior and intermediate category winners in the competition both received $100 prizes and both are going on to the District competition which will be held in Orleans in March. All of the competitors received a framed certificate marking their participation in the competition. In his comments on behalf of the judges, councillor Qadri congratu-

lated the competitors for having the courage to stand up in front of an audience and deliver their speeches. He commended all of the competitors for their choice of topic, for what they said about the topic and for how they delivered the speech. He advised the competitors to know what they are going to say in the speech, not by memorizing it but by knowing it thoroughly, suggesting

that practicing a speech in front of a mirror is a way to refine its delivery. Judges for this public speaking competition were councillor Qadri, Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis and Stittsville District Lions Club member Gordon MacIsaac. Stittsville District Lions Club member Wayne Beaten organized the competition on behalf of the Lions Club.

While not a Valentines song as such, it does deliver a strong message with its modern-day lyrics as in its chorus: “Say somethin’ if you’re feeling the vibe/Say somethin’ baby don’t be so shy/Say something’ cause you’re all in my head like/Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah/Say something’ cause you’re driving me crazy/Say something’ cause you’re driving me wild/Say something’ the way you’re working it baby/Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah.� Friday music evenings are held

every Friday starting at 7 p.m. at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This coming Friday, Feb. 21, several students from Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville will be performing in a “coffee house� format while bringing attention to a trip to help out in Nicaragua by a group of students from the school. On Friday, Feb. 28, the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java shop will feature Tony Turner who is considered a mainstay on the folk music scene in Ottawa.

Bringing home bronze medals Special to the News

Sports - The Goulbourn Hornets minor midget girls basketball team did not come home from the 2014 IEM Tournament in Newmarket empty-handed. Rather, they carried in their hands the bronze medals from the tournament’s AAA Division!

It all came down to the bronze medal game in the tournament, with the Hornets playing a great game both offensively and defensively to defeat the IEM Spartans 50-29 and grab the bronze medals in the tournament. Not bad for a team that had lost 41-36 to this same IEM Spartans team in round robin play.

SUBMITTED

Members of the Goulbourn Hornets major bantam girls basketball team, gold medal winners in the AA Division at the recent Mike O’Connor Memorial Basketball Tournament, are, front row, kneeling, from left, Julia Benson, Avery Platana, Jada Thompson, Marissa Smail, Salina Close and Marlow Steenbakkers; and, back row, standing, from left, assistant coach Mike Tourigny, Teagan Hinds, Michaela Tourigny, Sydney Greer, coach Joe Czenze, Madison Sachs, Gillian Walker, Emma Czenze, assistant coach Graham Thompson and assistant coach Morgan Smail.

Five straight wins means gold Special to the News

Sports - Five straight wins saw the Goulbourn Hornets major bantam girls basketball team bring home the gold medals in the AA Division from the recent Mike O’Connor Memorial Basketball Tournament. Two of the wins, including the victory in the championship game, were against the Polypus E.S. Bernard-Gariepy squad from Sorel-Tracy, Quebec. The championship final

against Polypus proved to be a close contest, with several lead changes throughout the game. But when the final buzzer sounded, it was the Hornets who had a 32-28 lead, earning the team the gold medals in the tournament. Marissa Smail received the Game MVP Award in this championship final. The Hornets had advanced to the championship final thanks to four straight wins in the tournament.

The Hornets opened up in the tournament playing against the host Gloucester Wolverines, with the Hornets emerging with a 44-22 victory. The Goulbourn Hornets followed up this opening game victory with wins over Nepean Blue Devils by 40-24, Cornwall Lions by 47-26 and Polypus E.S. Bernard-Gariepy by 31-22. The Hornets and Polypus were to end up facing each other in the championship final.

Four community events SVA to advocate for heritage John Curry

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Art and Authors in the Park. Canada Day. Villagefest. Parade of Lights. These are the four major community events organized by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) annually in Stittsville. At the executive meeting of the SVA on Thursday, Feb. 13, the first steps were taken for this year’s events, with a leader of the organizing team for each event identified except for the Parade of Lights and with a date established for each event, although this may change for the Art and Authors in the Park event. This annual Art and Authors in the Park, in which local artists and authors display their creations at Village Square Park in Stittsville, would be held on Sunday, May 25 if past practice prevails. However, there is still some thought that the event may be moved away from its traditional date of the last Sunday in May to another date. It was also suggested that the event, which is held at Village Square Park, might benefit by being held indoors, perhaps at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex or at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, in order to relieve weather concerns. There was also some desire expressed to re-fresh the event with some new ideas to incorporate into it. SVA director Doug Sutherland has agreed to head the organizing committee for the

john.curry@metroland.com

event. Mr. Sutherland indicated that he would be calling a meeting of those interested in being involved in the organization of the event to discuss its date, its location and new ideas about it. Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville will happen on Canada Day again this year, with Canada Day, July 1, falling on a Tuesday this year. SVA director Theresa Qadri has agreed to head up the Canada Day organizing committee again this year. SVA directors Marion Gullock and Nancy and Luc Therrien will once again this year head up the organization of the Villagefest activities. This year Villagefest will be held on Saturday, Sept. 13. It had originally been suggested that Villagefest be held on Saturday, Sept. 6, the first Saturday after Labour Day but it was pointed out that the second Saturday would work out better as high school students would be more available to help out as they seek volunteer hours required in their schooling. The annual Christmas Parade of Lights will be held on Saturday, Nov. 29 this year which is the last Saturday in November, the traditional date for this event. SVA past president Marilyn Jenkins and her husband David, a former longtime SVA director, have indicated that they will be involved in the organization of the event this year but the SVA still needs someone to head up the organizing committee for this event.

News - The historic Bradley’s General Store building on Stittsville Main Street in the heritage heart of Stittsville is important to the community and the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is going to tell the city of Ottawa’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee just that. SVA president Phil Sweetnam was authorized by the SVA executive to write a letter to the Sub-Committee expressing the SVA’s view that the heritage of the community means a lot to residents and that the now firegutted Bradley’s General Store building should be preserved if at all possible. The letter is also to state that if the historic building must be demolished, then any replacement structure on that site should reflect the facade features of the existing building that dates back to the 1870’s. However, while president Sweetnam got the support of the executive to write a letter outlining these two points, he could not convince the executive to include his idea that if the building is demolished that

the community of Stittsville should receive some mitigation for this loss of heritage in the form of a substantial monetary contribution to such groups as the Goulbourn Township Historical Society or to the Goulbourn Museum. SVA director Doug Southerland termed the suggestion as an interesting concept but worried that it might encourage people to pay money in lieu of preserving heritage structures. He noted that the debate is still going on about the future of the Bradley’s General Store building and expressed more concern about what might replace the historic building if it were demolished rather than seeking any mitigation relief for the community. SVA director Jeff Gallant said that the mitigation proposal sounds good in theory but wondered how such a proposal would be implemented to force the building’s owner to make such a contribution. President Sweetnam pointed out that while the first preference should be to retain the building, he said that if it is determined that it is impossible to restore due to costs, then there

should be something offered to the community for its loss of heritage. He reiterated that his preference for the building would be to see it maintained as part of the community’s historical infrastructure if at all possible. He agreed that any replacement building out to reflect the historic building, at least with regard to its facade. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was in attendance at the meeting, said that it would be important for the SVA to put in a comment to the city’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee expressing the importance of the Bradley’s General Store building to the heritage of the community but advised against any more specific comments. He suggested that the SVA work with the Goulbourn Township Historical Society on the matter, perhaps submitting comments together or perhaps separately. The city’s Built Heritage Sub-Committee is scheduled to deal with the future of the Bradley’s General Store building at its meeting on Monday, March 3.

Hornets major midget boys team collect clothing for Snowsuit Fund Special to the News

Sports - People have endured a lot of cold weather this winter but some have been warmer thanks to the generosity and efforts of the players of the Goulbourn Hornets major midget boys basketball team. The Hornets were able to take the sting out of winter for some when the team decided to collect donated winter coats and other winter warmth gear for the Snowsuit Fund.

All in all, 18 articles of clothing were collected by the Hornets and delivered to the Snowsuit Fund. “We thought collecting winter clothing was an appropriate charitable activity this year given the cold weather, especially during the holidays when most of the clothing was collected,” said Hornets coach Andrea Morrison. The collected clothing was delivered to the Snowsuit Fund in January.

Justin Phillips joins Ottawa RedBlacks Ball registration Special to the News

Sports - Justin Phillips is coming home. The Canadian Football League (CFL) veteran defensive player who attended Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville made history last week by becoming part of the first trade made in the history of the Ottawa RedBlacks, the new CFL team that will begin playing this summer. Justin was acquired by the ReBlacks from the Calgary Stampeders where he has played for the past seven seasons. Coming to Ottawa in the trade are Justin and Calgary’s third round pick (23rd overall) in the 2014 CFL Canadian draft. In exchange, Calgary has received Ottawa’s third round pick (19th overall) in the 2014 CFL Canadian draft as well as Ottawa’s third round selection in the 2015 CFL Canadian draft. The Ottawa RedBlacks had their eye on Justin in the expansion draft that provided the RedBlacks with their initial crop of CFL players from other teams but he was not able to be selected then. The trade has now accomplished what could not be accomplished in the draft – Justin Phillips is an Ottawa RedBlack. And RedBlacks general manager Marcel Desjardins is happy about it, calling Justin “a quality player.” “Justin is an Ottawa guy and we believe he’s going to thrive in this environment,” GM Desjardins said about the trade. Justin, who is now 28 years old, played community football with the Bell Warriors of the National Capital Amateur Football Association and also played one year of football for the Sacred Heart Huskies before going on to play Canadian university football with the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Knights. He was a member of Wilfrid Laurier’s Vanier Cup winning team in 2005 and in 2006, his final season at Wilfrid Laurier, he was named a first team Ontario University Athletics all-star as well as a second team Canadian Interuniversity Sport All-Canadian. Selected by the Calgary Stampeders in the first round and fifth overall in the 2007 CFL Canadian draft, Justin was a member of the Stampeders’ Grey Cup winning team in 2008. The 6 foot, three inch, 236 pound defensive lineman wracked up 78 tackles and four sacks on defense over his seven seasons with Calgary. He also had 78 special teams tackles. He had a career year in 2011, recording 31 tackles on defense as well as 12 tackles on special teams. He had played 102 regular season games for the Stampeders. “We have great respect for Justin as a player and as a person and appreciate everything he has done for the Stampeders over the past seven years,” Stampeders head coach and general manager John Hufnagel said when the trade was announced. “We know that this trade is a good step for Justin’s football career and that playing in his hometown will also be beneficial to him on a personal level,” coach/GM Hufnagel added. Justin is getting right into it for the

Coach MacNeil says that Justin was just a good athlete and with his community football experience with the Bell Warriors, he knew what he was doing on the football field.

Ottawa Redblacks. Last Monday, the RedBlacks introduced its new mascot to fans for the first time with the mascot appearing at a pre-game ceremony at Canadian Tire Centre for the Ontario Hockey League game between the Ottawa 67s and the Owen Sound Attack. Justin was one five RedBlacks players to take part in the ceremonial faceoff, along with RedBlacks head coach Rick Campbell. The players and coach all signed autographs during the game’s intermissions. Justin Phillips got his initial football training playing for the Bell Warriors, playing at the mosquito, pee wee and bantam levels. In 1997, he won the award as the most outstanding defensive player in mosquito for the Bell Warriors. In 1999, he was the Bell Warriors pee wee MVP while in 2000, he was the bantam rookie of the year for the Warriors. In 2001, he was the MVP bantam (age 15-16) player suiting up for the Bell Warriors. His bantam coach with the Bell Warriors was Jim Wagdin of Richmond. Justin played linebacker for the Jim Wagdin-coached Bell Warriors bantams in the 2000 and 2001 seasons. “He was obviously very talented and athletic but he was also one of the most ‘coachable’ players I’ve had, and that is the highest compliment I can offer,” says Mr. Wagdin who was a longtime coach for the Warriors as well as a longtime president of the organization. “He was eager to learn and never stopped working to get better,” Mr. Wagdin added, noting that both of Justin’s brothers, Kyle and Brandon, also played football with the Bell Warriors. “He was a hellva ballplayer,” Mr. Wagdin continued, saying that Justin did not miss practice, had great athletic ability, and always wanted to get better so he could be the best that he could be on the field. Just as important, he was, in Mr. Wagdin’s words, “a nice kid.” He says that Justin was one of the players whom he coached who clearly had the potential to move on to the next level and this is what happened. He puts Justin right up there with the best players that he coached during his years with the Bell Warriors. The Bell Warriors has a Warriors Scholarship Program in which it gives two $1,000 scholarships each year to Warrior alumni who go on to post secondary education. Academics, Warrior experience and community involvement are the three selection criteria used to award these scholarships. The scholarships are, in fact, now named after Jim Wagdin in recognition of his service to the Bell Warriors over the years. Justin Phillips received one of these scholarships in 2003 and again in 2006. His brother Kyle received one of the scholarships in 2002. At Sacred Heart, Justin played one season for the Huskies football team under head coach Curtis MacNeil. He was also playing for the Bell Warriors at the time. With the Huskies, he mainly played defensive back but with the school’s football program just beginning, he also was even called into service at times as quarterback.

Selling bracelets to raise funds for “Free The Children” are Stittsville Public School students, from left, Ethan Richardson, Jordan Bestard, Alexandra Kouloufakos, Emma Yoshida, Mackinley Cooke and Paige Yoshida.

Raising funds for ‘Free The Children’ News - Stittsville Public School students are raising funds for “Free The Children” through the sale of bracelets. The bracelets, made of rubber elastics, were sold at the school last week. It had taken students two weeks to make the bracelets. Funds raised in this initiative by the Student Council and the Free The Children Club will go to the “Free The Children” organization. Every $20 raised will purchase one brick

in building a school in a developing country. “Free The Children” is an international charity that believes in a world where all children are free to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change. Founded by Canadians, the organization works to empower youth to become active local and global citizens. In its international work, “Free The Children” and its Adopt A Village development model tries to implement holistic and sustainable

Special to the News

News - It’s the 50th publication issued by Crime Prevention Ottawa and the first public eyes to see it were those of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) executive. The booklet “Community Solutions: Beautification Today, Safer Tomorrow” saw its first distribution in public at the SVA executive meeting on Thursday, Feb. 13 when Crime Prevention Ottawa executive director Nancy Worsfold distributed the booklet to those at the meeting as part of her presentation at the meeting. This was the first time that the booklet had been distributed publicly, although its launch had been announced earlier that day on the radio. In her presentation, Ms. Worsfold told how Crime Prevention Ottawa, an organization set up in 2005, works with groups such as the police, school boards and the United Way to help prevent crime in the community before it happens. She noted that this new booklet “Community Solutions: Beautification Today, Safer Tomorrow” is the Crime Prevention Ottawa’s 50th publication, noting that the booklet’s objective is to help communities build safer communities. The premise of the booklet is that the beautification of public space encourages its proper use and helps build community. “This booklet is like a project booklet,” Ms. Worsfold said, pointing out that the booklet gives some case studies that hopefully will provide ideas and inspiration to community groups in the city so that they can build safe and caring communities through care for their public

spaces. This new booklet “Community Solutions: Beautification Today, Safer Tomorrow” features eight community-based projects that have happened in the city of Ottawa and other communities. Some of the projects were designed to create safer spaces and welcoming environments. Other projects have been meant to bring people together to work toward a common goal. In all of the cases, neighbourhoods have become safer and stronger because their communities show that they care. Projects outlined in the booklet include a park re-development project in Renfrew, development of community gardens in Ottawa, combating graffiti and vandalism in Mississauga, and transforming underused neighbourhood places into vibrant and welcoming areas in the city of Ottawa. Each project is described based on “The Idea,” “What They Did,” “The Results,” and “How you Can Do It Too.” The booklet also includes a page outlining seven tips in building stronger neighbourhoods and engaging the community in community development. These include Have Fun, Start Where People Are, Focus on People’s Passions, Let Them See Results, Do Not Sit On Your Assets, Recognize and Celebrate and Share Stories. Ms. Worsfold also pointed out in her presentation that Crime Prevention Ottawa has three focuses in its work: youth, neighbourhoods and violence against women. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is chair of the Board of Directors of Crime Prevention Ottawa.

Pointe of Grace dancers in ‘Dancers Give Back’ Special to the News

News - Dancers will be making a difference, sharing their talents and love of dance to raise funds for Candlelighters, an organization that helps children and their families cope with childhood cancer. Thirteen dancers from the Pointe of Grace Dance Co. on Iber Road in Stittsville, members of its senior dance team, will be among the area’s young dancers who will be performing at the first Canadian – and Ottawa – edition of “Dancers Give Back.� This is an international initiative designed to inspire social action through dance. This first-ever “Dancers Give Back� in Ottawa will take place at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre on Friday, Feb. 28 starting at 7:30 p.m. Usually dancers come together for competitions but in this case, the dancers in the area are coming together to share their love of dance with the community. They want to give back by collaborating and dancing alongside one another to raise money for Candlelighters and its childhood cancer support programs. The young dancers involved will be using their talents and passion for dance to inspire others, learn from one another and to do good.

The Pointe of Grace Dance Company of Stittsville is one of over a dozen Ottawa area dance studios taking part in this “Dancers give Back� event. Tickets at $25 each are available online now through the Algonquin Commons Theatre box office. Candlelighters is a local, not-for-profit organization helping children and their families as they cope with childhood cancer. The organization also works to raise awareness and understanding of the impact that a diagnosis of cancer has on a child and on the family. Candlelighters tries to address the needs and challenges that these children and their families encounter along the childhood cancer journey through the provision of support services, financial assistance and its CyberKids program. In 2013, 65 children were diagnosed with cancer. Candlelighters tries to be there to help these children and their families with their emotional and financial burdens. “Dancers Give Back� is a way that the young dancers of the Ottawa area are trying to make a difference and give back to the community by raising funds for Candlelighters.

SUBMITTED

Seven dancers from the Pointe of Grace Dance Company on Iber Road in Stittsville who are among the 13 dancers from the studio who will be performing in the upcoming “Dancers Give Back� performance involving Ottawa area dancers at the Algonquin Commons Theatre, raising funds for Candlelighters, an organization that helps children and their families who are coping with childhood cancer, are, lying at the front, Melissa Johnston; and, behind her, from left, Emma O’Brien, Emma Labelle, Morgan Perigo (standing up), Sarah Hearn (peeking through Morgan’s legs), Hailey Whitney (holding Morgan’s leg) and Alysa Fee.

its first year to now over 400 dancers taking class each week. The Pointe of Grace Dance Company with its studio on Iber Road in Stittsville

‘Family Fun Event’ at Museum lives up to its name - a fun event Special to the News

News - It was advertized as a family fun event and that’s just what it was. Taking place on Family Day last Monday, Feb. 17, this “Family Fun Event” at the Goulbourn Museum attracted numerous parents and children. And there was lots to do when they got to the Museum! Youngsters – and parents – could dress up in heritage costume and have a photo taken in the Museum’s old fashioned photo booth, leaving with a photo keepsake of Family Day 2014. A craft activity had an Olympic-type aspect to it, as youngsters were able to design and make pennants. They could incorporate a favourite activity in the design of the pennant, such as soccer. The Museum’s replica village shop was a busy spot, with youngsters playing the role of shopkeeper or customer. It was even busier than your average modern-day Walmart! Other games and activities were able for youngsters and there was hot chocolate and Timbits available for one and all.

And among the Museum artefacts on display at this event was the recently donated military medal received by Colonel George Thew Burke for his service at the Battle of Chateauguay in the War of 1812. Colonel Burke went on to be the superintendent of the Richmond military settlement in 1818. The medal was displayed along with other items related to Colonel Burke which are in the Museum’s collection including a snuff box, a regimental silver spoon and a ceremonial sword bayonet. This was all part of a renewed exhibit about the 100th Regiment of Foot which was the regiment that supplied many early settlers to Goulbourn in 1818. All of this Family Day activity at the Goulbourn Museum was offered free of charge, with everyone welcome to attend. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville. The Goulbourn Museum website can be found at www.goulbournmuseum.ca.

Lions giving nearly $30,000 Special to the News

News - The Stittsville District Lions Club will give nearly $30,000 to various organizations and causes in its current 2013-2014 budget year. This $29,180 is up by almost $6,000 over the amount dispensed by the Lions Club in its 2012-2013 year which was $23,364.46. Among the organizations supported by the Lions Club include Alzheimer’s Society, the Canadian Cancer Society (Relay For Life), the Canadian Diabetes Association, Operation Come Home, Ottawa Children’s Treatment Centre, Ottawa Heart Institute, the Children’s

Hospital of Eastern Ontario, the Hospice at May Court, the Ottawa Mission, the Salvation Army, the Stittsville Legion (poppy campaign) and the Stittsville Food Bank. The Lions Club also supports Camp Banting (diabetes), Camp Dorset (kidney dialysis), Camp Quality (children with cancer) and the Kemptville Lions club’s eye care campaign. The Lions Club’s contributions also involve donations to various Lions initiatives such as the annual fishing tournament for the visually impaired, the Lions effective speaking competition, the Lions District A4 Youth Exchange program and the Lions Home for the Deaf.

Fundraising dance at Lions Hall on March 29th Special to the News

News - Get on your dancing shoes – there’s a dance coming up at the Lions Hall in Stittsville! It will take place on Saturday, March 29 at 8 p.m., with the Ottawa Valley’s own Smokey Rose providing the music. The dance is being held as a fundraiser in support of Hospice Care Ottawa and its capital campaign for the new Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice that will hopefully become a reality in Kanata by 2016. Smokey Rose originally consisted of the duo of Darlene Thibault and Lee Hodgkinson with Ed Ashton joining the duo in 2010, adding an extra layer of sound with his bass playing and vocal talents.

Smokey Rose has been performing traditional and contemporary country music throughout the Ottawa Valley since 1996. In June 2006, Smokey Rose released its debut CD full of country classics. Smokey Rose has close to 200 songs in its repertoire, so you know that there will be a variety of great country music at the March 29 dance. Tickets for the dance at $10 per person are available by phoning 613-836-4964 or 613-838-5007. Hospice Care Ottawa, which now looks after hospice care in the Ottawa area following its creation with the amalgamation of the Hospice at May Court and Friends of Hospice Ottawa, has entered

into a partnership with the Bruyere Foundation to raise $6 million to develop the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice at a site on McCurdy Drive in Kanata, formerly the home of the Trinity Presbyterian Church. The Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice will be a ten bed residential hospice and day hospice, providing end-of-life care and support to those in need of such care. The Hospice Ottawa West (HOW) Campaign has now raised half of its goal, in large part thanks to a one million dollar donation to the Campaign by the Ruddy and Shenkman families announced last October. Construction will be necessary to expand the facility to accommodate the new RuddyShenkman hospice home.

‘Taize Style Service’ in Richmond on Sunday, March 2 open to everyone Special to the News

News - You could travel to the Taize Community in Burgundy in France to hear the chants for which this ecumenical monastic order is known. Or, much closer to home, you could simply be at the church hall at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond on Sunday, March 2 at 3 p.m. where a community “Taize Style Service” is being held, open to everyone. Taize chants are short chants that are repeated again and again, giving them a meditative character. Using just a few words, the chants express a basic reality of faith, quickly grasped by the mind. As the words are sung over many times in Taize chants, this reality gradually penetrates the whole being.

Many Taize chants come from the Eastern Orthodox tradition and the music emphasizes simple phrases, usually lines from Psalms or other pieces of Scripture, repeated and repeated. Taize chants are used in many ecumenical services around the world. This service planned at the church hall at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond on Sunday, March 2 will feature several Taize chants but will also include chants that are not Taize chants but are simply beautiful chants from other sources. That’s why it is called a “Taize Style Service” rather than a “Taize Service.” If you want to know more about this “Taize Style Service,” please phone Rev. Michel Dubord, rector of St. John’s Anglican

Church, at 613-838-6075. Everyone is welcome to attend. The Taize community itself is fascinating in that it is an ecumenical monastic order based in Burgundy in France involving more than 100 religious Brothers from both Protestant and Catholic traditions. It was founded in 1940 by Brother Roger Schutz, a Protestant. The Taize community has become an important site of Christian pilgrimage, with over 100,000 young people from around the world making pilgrimages to Taize each year for prayer, Bible study and communal work. The pilgrims are encouraged to live in a spirit of kindness, simplicity and reconciliation.

MARY COOK

‘Nothing But A Child’ gala coming on Saturday, March 1

Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - When I asked my older and much wiser sister Audrey how people knew where the next Saturday night house party was being held without being asked, she said it was very simple. The central switchboard operator just got on the switchboard and called everyone in Northcote, and told them where it was, and she also told them not to forget to bring something for the lunch. Well, that all made perfect sense to me. That Saturday, it was being held at Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alec’s home, just across the 20-Acre Field, so that meant the place would be fair jumping. With their large family, our five and goodness knows how many other kids from the Northcote area, it would be a rip roarin’ night. I asked Audrey, who I thought was the smartest girl in Renfrew County, if she thought it would be another night of magic. The magic I was talking about was a secret between my sister and me. “It could be,” she said with a grin. As soon as the evening chores were done, a hurried supper eaten, and our next-to-Sunday best clothes put on, we headed across the field in the flat-bottom sleigh. We were the first to arrive. Within minutes the yard was full of sleighs and cutters, and Aunt Bertha’s usually immaculate kitchen was full of boots, and outerwear piled in a heap in a corner. Aunt Bertha and Uncle Alex had one

House parties would bring a special magic

of the largest kitchens in the Northcote area, so there was still lots of room for tables for euchre, and a place for the fiddlers and guitar players to sit when it came time to change from cards to square dancing. I knew without asking that out in the summer kitchen, 11-quart baskets would be sitting wrapped in clean towels, and then piled under blankets to keep the innards from freezing. I could see the big white granite teapots teaming on the back of the cook stove, everything was ready for a great night of fun. Aunt Bertha would have opened the parlour, and people spread out wherever they could find a place to sit or stand. The very youngest of the children, and that included me, would soon tire of watching the adults at their card games, and we would head upstairs to play jacks or marbles or snakes and ladders. The bedrooms were large at Aunt Bertha’s, much larger than ours across the field. But like ours, the beds were made up of soft downy feather ‘tickings,’ puffy and inviting. Upstairs we could hear the laughter and the tables being slapped when someone yelled “Euchre!” It would be a late night. Much later than we younger ones were used to. And it didn’t take long for one after the other of us to crawl onto one of the downy beds – just to rest a bit, as Joyce would say. There were so

many of us that we had to lay cross ways on the beds, so that everyone had a place. Beatrice, who was a great story teller, would start into one of her tales, and Cora might sing. And that’s when the magic would happen. I had no idea it was even talking place, and it would take some time for me to realize it had. But I would waken, and the sun would be pouring in the window. Just like magic, I would be back in my own bed, in the very room I shared with my sister Audrey in our old log house across the 20-Acre Field. How did it happen? How could I possibly fall asleep in an upstairs bedroom at Aunt Bertha’s, right between my two best friends, Joyce and Velma, and waken the next morning in my own bed? I would go downstairs and look for my sister Audrey, and once again we would share my secret question. “How did it happen, Audrey? How did I fall asleep at the Thoms with the music playing downstairs, and then wake up in my own bed?” Audrey would say the same words she said every time I asked. “It’s just Renfrew County magic, Mary, just Renfrew County magic.” It would be many years before I would know that it was my father who would wrap me in a blanket after the Saturday night party came to an end, and carry me to the sleigh and tuck me into my own bed. Magic indeed!

Enjoy ratatouille Spaghetti dinner in Munster all year around Special to the News

Foodland Ontario

Special to the News

Lifestyle - Ratatouille is a traditional French stewed vegetable dish, typically prepared in the summer, in the area of Provence or Nice, France. The original recipe used only zucchini, tomatoes, green and red sweet peppers, onions and garlic. The dish today adds eggplant to the mixture. There is much debate as to how to make traditional ratatouille. Some sauté all the vegetables, others cook each vegetable separately layering each in a casserole and baking in an oven. Ratatouille works as a side dish, as a meal with rice, pasta or polenta. Preparation time: 15 to 20 minutes. Cooking time: about 40 minutes. Serves 8 to 10. Ingredients * 25 ml (2 tbsp) extra-virgin olive oil * 1 red onion, cut into thin wedges * 5 cloves garlic, minced * 15 ml (1 tbsp) each dried basil and oregano * 1 large sweet green pepper, cut into chunks * 2 zucchini, cut into chunks

* 1 eggplant (about 750 g/1.5 lb), cut into chunks * 4 tomatoes, chopped * 1 can (796 ml/28 oz) whole tomatoes * 45 ml (3 tbsp) tomato paste * 5 ml (1 tsp) granulated sugar * Salt and pepper * 50 ml (1/4 cup) minced fresh parsley * 175 ml (3/4 cup) crumbled feta cheese Preparation In a large Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, basil and oregano, and cook until slightly softened and aromatic -- about four minutes. Add the green pepper, zucchini, eggplant and tomatoes. Stir in the canned tomatoes, and breaking them up with a spoon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste and cook for seven minutes. You can make this ahead, covering it and refrigerating for up to two days. When ready to serve, stir in the parsley and sprinkle feta on top of each portion.

News - You’ll be able to find a little bit of Italy in Munster on Saturday, March 1. It will be in the form of spaghetti, a dish traditionally associated with Italy where it has a history going back to around the 12th century. In Munster on Saturday, March 1, spaghetti will be front and centre at the

annual spaghetti dinner hosted by the Munster United Church on Munster road in the heart of Munster. The menu of spaghetti, Caesar salad, garlic bread, cake or pie and tea or coffee will be served from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. with everyone invited. Bring not only your appetite but also a bib! And the cost? A freewill donation – give what you want.

Spaghetti’s popularity spread throughout all of Italy following the establishment of pasta factories in the 19th century which enabled the widespread production of pasta, the basis of spaghetti. The world record for the largest bowl of spaghetti was set in 2010 when a California restaurant filled a swimming pool with more than 13,780 pounds of spaghetti.

Shrove Tuesday pancake supper in Richmond Special to the News

News - Some call it Shrove Tuesday. Some call it Pancake Tuesday. It can also be known as Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras. But whatever it’s called, it is the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. Its date is determined by Easter which changes annually and so too does the date of Shrove Tuesday. For instance, last year Shrove Tuesday fell on Feb. 12. This year it falls on March 4 while next year Shrove Tuesday will be on Feb. 17. So, it moves around. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond is hosting a Shrove Tuesday pancake supper on this year’s Shrove Tuesday which is Tuesday, March 4. It will take place from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. with everyone welcome to attend. The cost will be adults $8 and children aged 6 to 12 years

$5. Children aged five and under will be free. You can phone 613-838-3723 or 613-838-5432 to arrange for tickets or you can pay at the door. Pancakes are traditionally associated with Shrove Tuesday, the day preceding Lent, because they were a way to use up rich foods such as eggs, milk and sugar before the fasting for the 40 days of Lent began. The liturgical fasting in Lent emphasized eating plainer food and refraining from eating food that would give undue pleasure such as food involving dairy, eggs or meat. The name “Shrove Tuesday” comes from the word “shrive” which means “confess.” The term “Mardi Gras” is French for Fat Tuesday, referring to the practice of it being the last night for eating richer, fatty foods before the ritual fasting of the Lenten season beginning on the next day, Ash Wednesday.

wanted to demolish the building, it would receive more scrutiny from the city’s built heritage committee before a permit could be issued to tear it down. The listing flags it to be considered for a heritage designation before it’s demolished. Options like heritage register listing are underused in the rural areas, Moffatt said. There are a number of active historical societies in the rural areas, but they tend to focus more on the stories

that make up the area’s heritage than on designating important buildings, Moffatt said. “It’s not an onerous process,” he said, referring to the heritage register listing. “Maybe that’s needed in other communities.” Moffatt said he will reach out to local history groups, Heritage Ottawa and other local organizations that might have an interest in the forum as plans evolve.
