Singer at Rotary Film Series John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Those attending the screening of the movie “Inside Llewyn Davis” in the 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series at Landmark Theatres in Kanata on Thursday evening, Feb. 20 got a treat that no one expected. Oh sure, they expected to see the movie starring such personalities as John Godoman and Justin Timberlake
and hear its acclaimed soundtrack. But no one expected what happened just before the movie was shown – a surprise in-person appearance by Ottawa-born Canadian singer/songwriter Kathleen Edwards. Yes, that’s right – the seven-time nominee for a Juno Award who has appeared on the “Late Show with David Letterman” and has sung onstage with iconic Canadian singer Bryan Adams was at the theatre and gave some intro-
ductory remarks about the movie. She was introduced by Rotary Club member Steve Hunter who noted that Kathleen Edwards is carrying on Canada’s rich folk music tradition, calling her “a gem we have.” He also noted how Kathleen’s most recent album “Voyageur” has done well on the charts in both Canada and the United States.

Dance with Smokey Rose 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. Tickets for the dance at $10 per person are
available by phoning 613-8364964 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 RuddyShenkman Hospice at a former church site on McCurdy Drive in Kanata.

Special to the News
Kathleen Edwards told the audience which had virtually filled the theatre for this second in this year’s four-movie International Film Series organized by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville that she had actually known about this 2013 American comedy/drama movie written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen even before it was being shot. That’s because she had been dating a bearded American singer/ songwriter at the time and he told her about the movie as he had been recruited to audition for the lead role. He did not receive any call back. And lo and behold, as fate would have it, last December Kathleen was performing in New York City and was sharing a cab with an American performer. An ad in the cab was publicizing the movie “Inside Llewyn Davis” and ironically he told her that he had also read for the movie’s lead role, an effort that also went nowhere. Kathleen Edwards suggested that after trying out various singers for the lead role, the directors of “Inside Llewyn Davis” wisely opted to go with an actor in the lead role. This role went to Oscar Isaac, a Guatemalan actor and singer who is a graduate of the famous Juilliard School in New York City. In the movie, Isaac plays the role of a talented yet unsuccessful folk singer in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1961, singing all his own numbers. Kathleen Edwards, in her remarks about the film, said that the film’s lead character Llewyn Davis, played by Oscar Isaac, was based somewhat on singer Dave Van Ronk, a performer in New York in the early 1960’s but a relative unknown in the New York folk music scene at that time, a scene dominated by such voices as Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie. These two believed
in political music and music for the working man, Kathleen said. Bob Dylan was another involved with the New York music scene at that time as well. A CD of Kathleen Edwards’ “Voyageur” album was one of the door prizes given away at this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series movie. Kathleen Edwards’ appearance at this showing of the film “Inside Llewyn Davis” was arranged by Rotary Club member Valerie Wright who knows her parents. Valerie is the Rotary Club member who brought the idea of hosting an International Film Series to the Stittsville Club after experiencing a similar local international film program when she lived in British Columbia. She is on the Rotary Club’s organizing committee for this year’s Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. Kathleen Edwards, who was born in 1978 and began her music career in 1999, has released four albums – her 2003 debut album “Failer”; her albums “Back to Me” in 2005 and “Asking for Flowers” in 2008, both of which made the Billboard 200 list; and her 2012 album “Voyageur” which peaked at number 39 on the American Billboard 200 and at number two in Canada. In 2004, Kathleen was nominated for “Songwriter of the Year” in the Juno Awards, a nomination that was repeated in the 2006 and 2013 Juno Awards. She has also received A number of other nominations in various categories. In addition, she has received Canadian Country Music Association nominations in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 as “Roots Artist or Group of the Year.”

Citizen of the Year Continued from page 1
“He’s a remarkable guy and a pleasure to count him as a friend,” Mr. Redpath said about Mr. Chappell. As for Mr. Chappell himself, he has considered it a “wonderful surprise and a great honour” simply to have been nominated for the award and then to be declared the recipient of the award is an added surprise and honour. He notes that he is only one of the many fine volunteers who make up the leadership of the 1st Stittsville Scout Group. Mr. Chappell was a Cub and Scout himself in the late 1960s and quickly put all three of his children (two boys and one girl) in Scouting in Stittsville starting in 1996. He himself started as a Scout leader that same year. His children all completed the Scouting program, from Beavers through to Venturers but after his children left the program, he stayed on in a Service Scouter role, helping with 1st Stittsville Scout Group events such as Apple Day, Food Drives, Spring Cleanups, the annual Show and Race (Kub Kar/Pine Car Derby) and Model Rockets. Now viewing himself as something of the “old guy” of the Group, he tries to use his experience and skill set to help Stittsville Scouting be the best that it can be for the community’s youth. In his view, Scouting has several goals including confidence building through learned skills, camping and more camping and commitment to community service. At the awards gala, Mr.
Kevin Chappell Chappell was not only described as “the heart and soul of scouting in Stittsville for years,” but also was noted for his “handson” approach in taking a lead role in various Scout activities in the community. Speaking about Mr. Chappell, gala MC Kurt Stoodley, who announced Mr. Chappell’s receipt of the Citizen of the Year award, said: “He has striven to make Scouting an integral part of the community, not only in the services that it provides to youth but in the service that it can give back to the community.” Others nominated for the 2014 People’s Choice Business Awards Citizen of the Year honour included Dave Malcomson for Canadian Aid for Chernobyl; Dino Giannetti of theOttawa Power Wheelchair Hockey League, Dr. Agatha Sidlauskas of the Venta Preparatory School in Carp, Wen Jean Ho of the Kanata Chinese Seniors Support Centre and Eva von Jagow of Stittsville for her fundraising for the Breakfast Club of Canada. The honour extends across the whole area of west Ottawa covered by the West Ottawa Board of Trade including Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton and Kanata.

Stittsville, Richmond, Munster winners John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Businesses in Stittsville, Richmond and Munster were winners in the 2014 People’s Choice Business Awards hosted by the West Ottawa Board of Trade (formerly the Kanata Chamber of Commerce). Announcement of their receipt of their awards was made at the 15th annual People’s Choice Business Awards gala on Thursday, Feb. 20 at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata.
The three Stittsville businesses which brought home People’s Choice Awards this year were Brown’s Your Independent Grocer for Retail Business of the Year in West Carleton and Goulbourn; The Glen Scottish Restaurant and Pub for Restaurant of the Year in Goulbourn; and Gaia Java Coffee Company shop for Small Business of the Year in Goulbourn. Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, which currently employs about 300 staff, is a family owned and operated business that has been serving Stittsville and area residents since Nov. 2003. The Glen Scottish Restaurant and Pub first opened in Kanata in 1988 and relocated to Stittsville a couple of years ago. In 2013, it celebrated its 25th year in business in the area.

Great deals and great cause leads to great event John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Those leaving the Stittsville Legion Hall last Sunday knew two things. First, they knew that they had just received a great deal as they were able to jam a shopping bag with gently used clothing or toys or both and pay only ten dollars per bag. And secondly, they knew that the money that they had paid for each bag was going to help in the ongoing fight against diabetes. So it was a win/win situation – a great, inexpensive shopping experience with the funds generated going to combating diabetes. It was all the initiative of Sue Learmonth who with the help of friends and her husband Shane put this fundraising shopping experience all together. Tables lined both sides of the Legion Hall, filled with gently used clothing, all of which had been donated. Sections were labeled for babies, children, teens and adults. And a rectangle of tables in the middle of the hall was also teeming with items – not only clothing but also toys of many varieties and kinds. So, there was plenty of selection, with the tables piled high with items. Even well into the day, the tables still had lots of items available for sale even though they had been flying out the door. There was just that many to start with! Indeed, organizer Sue Learmonth acknowledged that despite the bustling sales happening, there was going to be lots of items left over. Another fundraiser may be the result! But there was more than just this shopping experience happening at the Legion Hall.
There was also a bake sale held in conjunction with the event, again with all of the bake goodies donated. And the kitchen at the Legion Hall was an attraction all by itself because it was being run by Craig Beaudry and Monique Haugen of the popular “Wiches Cauldron” food wagon on Carp Road in Stittsville. They were donating all of their tips to the cause. All of the gently used clothing and toys in this fundraising sale had been donated, with organizer Sue Learmonth taking to Facebook to get the word out about the need for such donations. It had been collected in the time leading up to last Sunday’s sale, with many of the items being stored at the Legion Hall since the volume of items would have made it impossible to transport all of them to the Legion Hall on the day of the sale. Giant Tiger donated some shopping bags for shoppers to use at this fundraising event. In addition, the new BMO Bank of Montreal branch on Hazeldean Road donated some giveaway items to be put in each bag. The Stittsville Legion donated the hall for the event which was a great help for the organizers. All of the proceeds generated by this shopping and bake sale fundraiser will be going to Team Diabetes Canada, which is the national activity fundraising program for the Canadian Diabetes Association. The funds will go to provide education and services about diabetes and helping find a cure for this disease which affects more than nine million Canadians. Organizer Sue Learmonth lost her brother to diabetes when he was only 34 years old. He had battled type one diabetes throughout his
life, using insulin, but the disease ended his life early. Sue’s father suffers from type two diabetes, so diabetes has had quite an impact on her life and this is why she has got on board with
Team Diabetes Canada to raise funds to help with the fight against the disease. See RAISING, page 7

Raising funds to fight diabetes Continued from page 6
Sue will even be travelling to Edinburgh in Scotland to take part in a fundraising run for diabetes there. Locally, she has participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fundraising event. The Canadian Diabetes Association, with which Team Diabetes Canada is associated, is leading the ďŹ ght against diabetes by helping people with diabetes live healthy lives while also working to ďŹ nd a cure. The Canadian Diabetes Association provides education and services about diabetes, advocates for people with diabetes and supports research. Over nine million Canadians are currently living with diabetes, with over 20 people newly diagnosed with the disease every hour of every day. Diabetes is a chronic, often debilitating and sometimes fatal disease in which the body either cannot produce insulin or cannot properly use the insulin it produces. This leads to high levels of glucose in the blood which can cause damage to organs, blood vessels and nerves. The body needs insulin in order to use glucose as a source of energy.

Ottawa & Area - Whether you're looking to buy your first home, or trading up to a larger one, there are many costs - on top of the purchase price - that you must figure into your calculation of affordability. These extra fees, such as taxes and other additional costs, could surprise you with an unwanted financial nightmare on closing day if you're not informed and prepared. Some of these costs are one-time fixed payments, while others represent an ongoing monthly or yearly commitment. While not all of these costs will apply in every situation, it's better to know about them ahead of time so you can budget properly. Remember, buying a home is a major milestone, and whether it's your first, second or tenth, there are many small but important details, not to mention
stress and excitement, to deal with during the process. The last thing you need are unbudgeted financial obligations in the hours before you take possession of your new home. To help homebuyers understand what these extra costs are, and in what situations they may apply, a free industry report has been prepared called "13 Extra Costs to Be Aware of Before Buying a Home." To order a FREE Special Report, visit www.OttawaFreeHomeInfo.com or to hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-217-1897 and enter 7008 .

All need to heed flood warnings
A
fter a winter of significant snowfall, everyone needs to take extra care around the waterways of the capital region this spring. According to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the snowpack in the area is twice the depth normally measured in the middle of February, posing a significant risk to low-lying areas in the watershed. If we get significant rainfall during the remaining weeks of winter and early spring, that will only increase the flooding risk. While a flood risk may not be imminent, the conditions are ripe for there to be a significant threat as temperatures rise. Residents living in traditionally flood-prone areas are advised to watch for flood warnings that could be potentially issued by the conservation authority. This flood risk is borne not just by those who live near rivers and lakes in the area, but also by those who enjoy spending recreational time in city parks and other riverside areas. Especially at risk are children and pets, who could easily stray too close to high water and be pulled under by swift currents. This means parents need to explain the dangers to their children and keep them away from moving water. Dog owners likewise should keep
their pets on a leash whenever they are near rivers or ponds. Children and pets are also prone to venturing out on the rapidly thinning ice. In past years, the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition has warned about the risks of thin ice, reminding residents that “one can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface.� The best advice is to simply stay off the ice. Emergency services typically responded to dozens of ice and waterway related calls at this time of year, and drownings are unfortunately an all-too-common occurrence. With the potential for increased flooding risk this spring, this trend threatens to continue if people fail to remain wary of the dangers. These tragedies are something no one wants to experience and it falls to all of us to stay safe near waterways this spring. Several authorities have made clear the risks presented by high river levels and thinning ice. It is now our responsibility to ensure everyone heeds those warnings. The last thing a parent, sibling, friend or pet owner wants to do is lose a loved one. Stay aware of the risks, heed the warnings and stay away from rivers, ponds and lakes until the threat has passed.

Change can be a double-edged sword
Y
ou get a little nervous when the people who make a product you like have started thinking. Sometimes thinking is the worst thing that can happen. Thinking means changing and sometimes changing is the worst thing you can do. That’s one reaction to a headline last week: “Tim Hortons brews up changes.� The story under the headline says that there has been a steady decline in the number of people buying food and coffee at Tims, because of the challenge of cheaper coffee at some competitors and greater varieties of coffee at others. The article goes on to suggest that the Tims will consider changes in everything from cup size to decor to doughnut selection. The notion of change is going to make some Tims fans nervous. Change is not always bad. Bigger bathrooms would be a hit with members of the travelling public who sometimes face lineups. But the thing Tims doesn’t want to change is its personality, which has always been its most important advantage. It seems to be a natural tendency in business for companies to imitate their competitors. This can result in a sameness that is frustrating for consumers looking for something distinct. Tims has so far avoided this. If you

Nowhere is this more true than in the newspaper business. We’ve seen newspapers try to be like other newspapers, like television, like the Internet. And newspapers are in trouble. It is true in other areas as well. A walk through the supermarket will tell you that. There is a great deal of choice among products that are the same. Take a listen to pop music. There is a sameness to it that drives many people away to the FM dial. To the average consumer, most mainstream cars are the same. Given all that, why would you change when

you have a distinctive personality? You might, perhaps, if you thought that consumers had changed. In terms of coffee places, have they? Political strategists have this theory that voters can be divided into Starbucks people and Tim Hortons people -- with the Tims people having suburban and rural lifestyles and voting Conservative, while the Starbucks people think like downtowners and vote Liberal and NDP. In reality, as opposed to politics, things are not so simple and neither are we. Most of us are a mixture. Sometimes we feel like taking the laptop to the Starbucks and splurging on some exotic coffee-related concoction. Other times we just feel like a coffee, quick and cheap, in a well-lit place where you don’t have to wait for a dozen people with laptops to vacate a table. (This last may change, now that Tims is offering free Wi-Fi.) On the road, people probably prefer Tims, the washrooms notwithstanding, because they are easier to find, have good parking and are kid-friendly. Those are things that Tims would be crazy to change. And they might be wary of offering new coffee flavours, since that just slows things up in the ordering line. If Tims is really thinking about serious change, here’s a vain hope that they might
consider getting out of the drive-thru business. The problems with drive-thru have been welldocumented, most notably clogged streets and emissions from all those idling vehicles, as well as slower service within the stores for those who had the energy to walk from their cars. The end of the drive-thru won’t happen unless municipal authorities see the light, which mostly they haven’t. But Tim Hortons could gain a lot of public goodwill by such a gesture. Then maybe other businesses would follow, since companies, as we have seen, tend to imitate their competitors.

Preschool visit to fire hall john.curry@metroland.com
News - There was a video featuring Sparky, the fire safety dog, as the commentator. There were fire trucks, both modern and old. There were firefighters including one wearing all his firefighting gear including his breathing apparatus and air bottle. It had to be, all in all, a field trip to remember for the youngsters of the Merrily We Go Preschool of Stittsville. Last Friday morning, Feb. 21, they journeyed the short distance from their location at St. Thomas Anglican Church to the nearby Sterling Howie Fire Hall on Stittsville Main Street where, along with Merrily We Go Preschool teacher/supervisor Jayne Tanner, teacher Salena Richard and accompanying parents, younger siblings and grandparents, a video about fire safety was viewed in the fire hall’s upstairs meeting room, complete with commentary by Sparky, the fire safety dog. Next it was downstairs to the fire hall truck bays where the Preschool youngsters got to see a fire truck and even sit in the cab of a pumper truck.
Firefighters helped the youngsters into and out of the cab, as it takes a couple of giant steps to clamber up into the cab. These are, after all, big trucks. Just how big? Well, big enough that one of these youngsters standing beside a wheel would be framed by the tire. They are, indeed, big trucks with big wheels. Lieutenant Steve Rossanese showed the youngsters the various compartments alongside both sides of the pumper truck – compartments which hold various firefighting equipment and equipment such as the jaws of life which assists in extrication of people trapped in vehicles in vehicle accidents. Lieutenant Brian Kalil put on all of his firefighting gear for the visitors, including his breathing apparatus and air tank. With his breathing mask on, he sounded a little like Darth Vader when he talked. The Stittsville fire hall’s antique fire truck was next up on the tour, with all of the youngsters getting an opportunity to sit behind the steering wheel of the vehicle. The flashing emergency lights on the modern fire
pumper truck were turned on, with the youngsters able to walk around the truck and see the assorted yellow, red and white lights blinking on and off. The pumper truck was then
If you’re like many people when you buy your footwear you look at the price and the style of the shoe. Your feet take a lot of punishment on a daily basis and it’s therefore important when choosing a new pair of shoes that you find a pair that not only compliments your wardrobe, but also the shape of your feet. Do your feet and ankles tend to roll in or out making you a pronator or a supinator? Perhaps you have flat feet or high arches. Each of these foot conditions can affect the type of shoes that you’ll find the most comfortable. Get the wrong ones and you can end up with not only sore feet but pain in your ankles, knees, hips and lower back. Many people have no idea what kind of shape their feet are and continue to choose the wrong style of shoes.
If you do suffer from foot, back, knee and/or hip pain, visiting a foot care clinic such as BioPed http://bioped. com could provide you with valuable information on how to choose the right shoes for you. At BioPed, a certified Pedorthist will do a gait assessment to discover any issues that affect the way you walk, discuss your lifestyle and any medical conditions. They then advise you on the type of shoes that would provide you with the kind of support you need for stabilization and comfort. By understanding the shape of your feet you can choose the right footwear for daily as well as athletic activities. In the past, supportive footwear http://www.bioped. com/products/footwear.asp was considered unattractive and associated with an older generation. Today you can find stylish and attractive footwear for every foot condition and age

Public meeting for proposed subdivision Special to the News
News - A proposed plan of subdivision for a parcel of land along the southern boundary of Stittsville east of Stittsville Main Street has been submitted to the city of Ottawa. A public meeting pertaining to this proposed subdivision will be held this coming Tuesday, March 4 at 7 p.m. in the Learning Commons at Sacred Heart Catholic High School on Abbott Street in Stittsville.
The proposed plan calls for a total of 650 residential housing units on the approximately 37 hectare site, broken down as 309 single family homes, 269 townhouse units and 72 terrace homes. The plan also includes two parks and a number of pathways. A stormwater management facility for this proposed new subdivision would be located on rural lands south of the subdivision within a hy-
dro corridor. This subdivision site has been included in the city’s urban area. The Upcountry/West Wind Farms subdivision (Hartsmere Drive, etc.) is located immediately north of the proposed subdivision. Stittsville Main Street is at the western end of the proposed subdivision while the Woodside Acres country estate lot subdivision is to the south of the proposed subdivision.

News - Kindness Week was marked in Stittsville last week. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kindness Week, which ran from Friday, Feb. 14 to Friday, Feb. 21, had a theme focused on recognizing educators in the community and their efforts at instilling kindness in their students. This theme was highlighted by the presentation of Kindness Awards to various teachers across the city of Ottawa who were nominated by their schools back in January. Not all schools in the city chose to participate but for those that did, Kindness Awards were presented to nominated teachers. Some of the awards were presented at the schools by Rabbi Reuven Bulka, the chair of Kindness Week in Ottawa and its founder, and by Cindy Smith, executive director of the Caring and Sharing Exchange (formerly the Christmas Exchange) which has hosted Kindness Week for the past two years.
Two schools in Stittsville were honoured to have Rabbi Bulka and Ms. Smith visit on Thursday, Feb. 20 to present Kindness Awards to teachers at the school. One of these visits was to St. Stephen Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street where Kindness Awards were presented to three teachers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jennifer Quinn, Diane Moore and Michelle Tierney. At the presentation ceremony, principal Bob Santos noted that Diane Moore, as a kindergarten teacher, welcomes every student to the school. He also noted that teacher Michelle Tierney shows kindness in her work with students, while also noting that teacher Jennifer Quinn is a welcoming and popular place for everyone, referring to it as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;train stationâ&#x20AC;? where everybody gets on board. At the ceremony, Rabbi Bulka said that every year Kindness Week tries to honour a certain sector in the community. Last year it was the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst responders who were honoured and this year it is the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers.

At the presentation ceremony, Rabbi Bulka noted the kind interaction that happens between teachers and their students, calling it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;magical thing.â&#x20AC;? He said that teachers are important in the development of children. Kindness Week in Ottawa was

Decorated veteran, photographer John Dixie passes away Special to the News
News - Longtime Richmond resident and decorated World War Two veteran John Dixie has died. He was 90 years old. He passed away on Monday, Jan. 20, 2014 with his family by his side. Mr. Dixie had moved to Richmond in 1968 and was a charter member of the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion when it was formed in 1973. Born in New Westminster, B.C. in 1923, he had joined the Vancouver Air Cadet Squadron while in high school and enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force after his graduation in June, 1942. He received his R.C.A.F. commission and wings in June, 1943 after training in Swift Current, Sask. Then, after further training in England, he was assigned to RAF 170 Squadron at Hemswell. He went on to receive both the Distinguished Flying

friends in the war, including his rear gunner and childhood friend Virgil Fernquist. Following the war, Mr. Dixie remained with the R.C.A.F. and was involved in missile development. He worked at the Canadian Armament Research and Development Establishment in Valcartier, Quebec in the early 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and subsequently was posted to Trenton, El Paso, Clinton and Toronto before ending dropping off the
cartoons and caricatures in his journals. He continued to â&#x20AC;&#x153;doodleâ&#x20AC;? in this way all of his life, especially delighting his grandsons with his renditions of Mickey Mouse. Mr. Dixie is survived by his daughters Julie Creighton and Deb Dixie Smith and his cherished grandsons Christopher and Jamie Creighton and Josh and Thomas Smith. He is fondly remembered by Paul Smith and Kara Coville and he was always a dashing, darling uncle to Mary, Chris, Kathie and their families. He was predeceased by his wife Paulie in 2010. They had been married for 64 years. Considered a gentleman of character and dignity, Mr. Dixieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen mind, generous nature and razor wit won the respect and affection of friends and family alike. The family would like to particularly thank the staff and friends at Forest Hill long term care home in Kanata for their care and compassion.

In March, 1945, he was detailed to take part in a night attack against Misburg. After leaving the English coast, the starboard outer engine of the aircraft failed and the aircraft could not gain height or speed. Undeterred, Flight Lieutenant Dixie pressed on and successfully completed the mission with only three engines functioning. And this apparently was not the only occasion in which he had completed his mission with only three functioning engines. He went on to be an Assistant Flight Commander, noted for his cheerful confidence and his inspiring, morale-building record. But the tragedy and horror of war was part of his experience as well.

Cross and the Bar to the distinguished Flying Cross. The Distinguished Flying Cross was awarded to him in March, 1945 in recognition of his courage and coolness one night in Feb., 1945. Flying Officer Dixie was pilot of an aircraft detailed to attack Ludwigshaven. On the return flight, the aircraft sustained severe damage to its entire tail assembly. The port rudder, half of the port fin and most of the rear part of the fuselage were also damaged. The damage caused the aircraft to dive steeply but Flying Officer Dixie was able to regain control and his skilful airmanship flew the plane to its base where he landed it safely without incurring any further damage. In October, 1945, then Flight Lieutenant Dixie received the Bar to the Distinguished Flying Cross, given to recognize his meritorious service, courage and devotion to duty. Since the Feb. incident

Contest judge also gives presentation about photography John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - It was a photography competition event with a difference. It not only involved the judging of the photo entries in the competition but the judge also was the guest speaker for the evening, giving a “Photography 101” type presentation to those in attendance. It all happened at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville on Tuesday evening, Feb. 18 when the results of the 2014 photography competition held by the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society were announced, with all of the entries on display. The winners had been selected by Anne Johnston, an avid photographer in her own right, who also gave a comprehensive presentation explain-
ing how to photograph flowers. Anne had spoken at an Horticultural Society meeting two years ago and she was invited back again this year not only to be the evening’s guest speaker but also to judge the annual photography competition. She dealt with such topics as equipment, lighting, subject choice and composition. Anne advised that a person does not need expensive camera gear to take good photographs of a garden and flowers. She advised that a novice should first work on such aspects as composition and lighting before considering any upgrade to a top of the line camera. She did, though, advise that anyone taking photographs of flowers and in particular close ups of them should invest in a tripod which is something that she uses and consid-
ers “mandatory” in such photography work. “Lighting is the most important thing of everything,” she said in regard to garden photography, noting that such photography should be done in the early morning or late afternoon or evening or on an overcast day. She said that the harsh midday sun creates too much contrast in photos which is why that time of day should be avoided. Anne explained that there is equipment that can alter light when shooting, such as lens filters, diffusers and reflectors. She also said that low light photograph is “fun” and worth trying. With regard to composition, she advised to avoid placing the subject in the middle of the frame, saying that flowers generally look more interesting when they are not in the

centre of a photograph. She urged photographers to be creative with regard to the point of view for a photograph, suggesting taking a photo from above, from the side and from below to give different perspectives. Tulips, clematis and day lilies are all flowers which are photogenic in her view. She urged people to make use of their photographic images in ways such as creating a photo book for the coffee table or producing note cards featuring photographs or making a calendar featuring photos of flowers or even just framing certain photos and having them to look at in the home during the winter months. Anne herself starting photographing in 2008 and since then has taken what she figures is about 30,000 photographs, admitting that she is still
learning about the craft. She said that techniques dealing with composition and lighting apply to all types of photograph and not just to photographs dealing with flowers and gardens. And the most important thing in photograph, according to Anne? “Remember to have fun doing it,” she told those at the meeting. With regard to the Horticultural Society’s 2014 photography competition, Marise Dube of Stittsville won the overall first prize for her photograph of tomatoes. Second place in the competition went to Ian Frei while Alanna Code was awarded third place. Judith Cox won the fourth place prize. The winning entries in the photograph competition are going to be put on display in the lobby area at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville.
IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa, on February 12, 2014, established its intention to designate the 2659 Roger Stevens Drive under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value. Description of Property 2659 Roger Stevens Drive is a one and one half storey wood frame farmhouse with red brick cladding. The house was constructed in 1876 and is located west of the village of North Gower in former Marlborough Township in southwest Ottawa. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value 2659 Roger Stevens Drive has cultural heritage value for its association with the early settlement of Marlborough Township, design value as a good example of the Gothic Revival style and contextual value for its location in a rural setting. 2659 Roger Stevens Drive has cultural heritage value for its association with the Bradley family and the early settlement of the interior of Marlborough Township. The house was constructed in 1876 for Edward Dailey, replacing an earlier log house on the site, and was purchased by Moses Bradley in 1900. The Bradley family of Marlborough Township were one of a number of Irish Protestant who arrived in Carleton County in the mid-19th century and quickly prospered through a combination of hard work and excellent farmland. They were one of the pioneering families near the hamlet of Pierce’s Corners in the northern part of the township and Moses, followed by his son Charles, farmed the land until 1960. The house at 2659 Roger Stevens Drive has design value as a good example of the Gothic Revival style popular in rural Ontario in the late 19th century. The Gothic Revival style became popular in Ontario in the 1860s and quickly became popular for farmers as they replaced the log houses associated with initial settlement. Typical of the style are its L-shaped plan, dichromatic brickwork, decorative bargeboard and veranda. 2659 Roger Stevens Drive is important in retaining and reinforcing the existing agricultural character of this area of Ottawa. Set back from the road by a long drive, the house is physically and functionally linked to its surroundings. OBJECTIONS
No person or public body shall be added as a party to the hearing of the appeal unless, before the Zoning By-law or the Official Plan Amendment were enacted, the person or public body made oral submissions at a public meeting or written submissions to the council or, in the opinion of the Ontario Municipal Board, there are reasonable grounds to add the person or public body as a party. Should the Zoning By-law or the Official Plan Amendment be appealed, persons or public bodies who wish to receive notice of the Ontario Municipal hearing can receive such notice by submitting a written request to Melanie Knight, Planner with the City.
Any person wishing to object to this designation may do so by letter, outlining the reasons for the objection and any other relevant information. This letter must be received by the Clerk of the City of Ottawa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publication of this notice. When a notice of objection has been received, the Council of the City of Ottawa will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a Hearing and a Report.

Imam Mohamad Jebara explains about Islam John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Islam came to Richmond on Tuesday, Feb. 18. It was in the form of Imam Mohamad Jebara who was the guest speaker at an informal evening of learning about Islam that was held at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church on McBean Street. This information evening is being followed up with a guided tour of the Ottawa Mosque on Northwestern Avenue in Ottawa. Imam Mohamad Jebara is from the Ottawa Mosque and is also involved with the interfaith initiative at the Cordova Spiritual Education Centre. Imam Mohamad, who is now 32 years old and was ordained as an Imam when he was 20 years old, grew up in Ottawa. His fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the family came to North America back in 1798, settling in the Detroit area, before some of the family migrated to Canada in 1891. Imam Mohamad explained that Islam has five foundational blocks: belief in one God; daily devotional prayer; sharing a portion of personal wealth with the poor; fasting for a month; and going on a pilgrimage.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Islam revolves around the belief in one God,â&#x20AC;? he told the more than 30 people who attended the information evening in the basement hall at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church. He reiterated that Islam is a strictly monotheistic religion, believing in only one God. In Islam, God has no known form in the belief that anything that man can imagine cannot be God as no human can understand the nature of God. Rev. Carla Van Delen of St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s United Church invited Imam Mohamad Jebara to the information meeting and arranged for the follow-up tour of the Ottawa Mosque after seeing an article in an Arnprior newspaper about high school students visiting the Ottawa Mosque. She felt that if high school students could do this, then members of her congregation might also have this opportunity open to them. So she contacted the Ottawa Mosque and this information evening and follow-up tour is the result. She said at the information meeting that during her tenure at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, people have told her that they would like to know more about other religions. Hence this initiative to learn more about Islam.

Geared for children aged 6 to 11 years old, the “Camp Curator” program gives them an opportunity to be a Museum curator for a week. This means having a personal curator kit, learning how to handle artefacts, creating exhibits and even conducting an archeological dig. In addition, there will be a host of crafts and games, a behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum’s artefact collection and visits from special guests.

As many of you are already aware, the City of Ottawa is carrying out a study to develop a recommended plan for the southerly extension of Realigned Greenbank Road and the Southwest Transitway from their planned terminus at Cambrian Road. The study is evaluating the preferred route for this corridor linking Cambrian Road to existing Greenbank Road in the vicinity of Barnsdale Road. It is also evaluating potential intersection improvements at Prince of Wales Drive, existing Greenbank Road and Bankfield Road. The intent of the project is to accommodate projected transportation demand (all modes) arising from the developing community of Barrhaven South, travel demand between Barrhaven South and the Village of Manotick, and demand for additional Park and Ride facilities in the South Urban Centre. You are invited to attend the third and final Public Open House for the project, scheduled for Tuesday, March 4, 2014 5:00pm to 8:00pm (Presentation at 6:00 p.m.) at Stonebridge Golf & Country Club in Barrhaven. If you are not available to attend the meeting or would like additional information, please visit the project webpage at www.ottawa.ca/greenbankroad or direct your comments to the contact person listed below. The presentation material will be available on the project webpage after March 4, 2014. You’ll notice that the five-legged roundabout option is not moving forward as it was determined to be the worst option in terms of traffic flow in 2031. Oddly enough, the option that proved to be the best for traffic movement was the extension of First Line Road coupled with roundabouts at Prince of Wales/ Bankfield & First Line Road/Bankfield. This, however, is not moving forward and was replaced by an option to connect First Line Road to Prince of Wales, south of Bankfield Road. I’m interested to hear your feedback on these recommendations. It is important to note that funding is not attached to these recommendations and construction of these projects is not imminent. New Park and Ride Opens in Barrhaven On Monday, February 24, a new Park and Ride lot will open in Barrhaven at Nepean Woods Transit Station, near the corner of Woodroffe Avenue and Strandherd Drive. The lot will offer free parking for more than 300 vehicles, which will help meet the demand by transit riders. This new Park and Ride features, 342 free parking spaces, frequent bus service seven days a week, new passenger shelters, bike shelters, cycling path connections and accessible parking. Bus service at Nepean Woods Station is provided by Route 94, which operates seven days a week and every 15 minutes in most time periods on weekdays, with service to downtown via the Transitway. Additional service is provided by Route 176, seven days a week, which operates along Merivale Road to Tunney’s Pasture. Nepean Woods will supplement the 2,000 parking spaces already available at Fallowfield and Strandherd Park and Ride lots. In future, Nepean Woods can be expanded to 765 spaces to keep pace with the community’s growing needs. Automated schedule information for Nepean Woods Station is available 24 hours a day by calling 613-560-1000 or text 560560 plus 3048.

News - Richmond showed yet again last Sunday that the spirit of hockey runs deep in the community. About 250 people ďŹ lled the hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre to watch the Olympic gold medal game between Canada and Sweden which Canada won by a 3-0 score. Some youngsters wore Hockeyville jerseys and a giant Hockeyville banner on the wall greeted everyone in the entranceway to the hall. Long tables were set up in the hall so that people could enjoy a pancake breakfast which began at 6:30 a.m., half an hour before the 7 a.m. puck drop to begin the Olympic gold medal game. There was plenty of red sported throughout the crowd, with all eyes glued to the giant broadcast of the game on a portion of the east wall of the hall. Yes, it was a scene that showed the love of hockey that pervades the Richmond community. And it is this love of hockey that is behind the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bid to be Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockeyville 2014. The period to submit stories and memories about hockey in Richmond is now ended in the Kraft Hockevyille 2014 contest. Now, the waiting begins until Saturday, March 8 when the top
16 communities will be announced and online voting will again be underway to narrow down the communities in the running for the Hockeyville 2014 title. This online voting will begin on Saturday, March 8 at 11 p.m. and continue for two days, ending on Monday, March 10 at midnight. An individual can cast as many votes as possible during this two day period. This voting will determine which of the 16 communities which make the ďŹ rst cut will move on to the ďŹ nal four, east and west. The communities will be revealed on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday, March 15. This will then start another round of online voting, from Saturday, March 15 at 11 p.m. to Monday, March 17 at midnight. This will determine the top two in both the east and west, with the successful communities being revealed on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey Night in Canada broadcast on Saturday, march 22. A third and ďŹ nal online voting session will then get underway, running from Saturday, March 22 at 11 p.m. to Monday, March 24 at midnight. The community in both the east and west to receive the most votes in this ďŹ nal online voting period will be the grand prize winner in the 2014 Kraft Hockeyville contest. The winning community will be announced on CBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hockey Night in Canada broadcast on Saturday, April 5.

Three from Stittsville to Queens for football
Conor Redmond
Conor Redmen, who played for the Warriors for eight years, is an offensive lineman. “You could count the times Conor would touch the ball in a full year but that’s not to say he wasn’t a difference maker,” Mr. Stewart says about Conor. Calling him a “gentle giant” who always has a smile on his face, he says that Conor became one of the top offensive line prospects in the whole province. Mitch Henselwood also played for the Warriors for eight years, beginning on the offensive line and then to full back before settling in as a middle linebacker where he won the MVP award for the Warriors bantam team in his final year 2012. “Mitch is as dedicated a player as I have ever coached,” Mr. Stewart says, noting Mitch’s dedication to conditioning, his attention to detail and his selfless commitment to the team. “He’s a heart and soul player whose natural leadership qualities will serve him well on and certainly off the field,” he adds. Charlie Keenan played with the Warriors for seven years and during that time was a fourtime major award winner. “He was quickly regarded as one of the best tailbacks region wide,” Mr. Stewart says about Charlie. “He’s a very smart athlete with cat-like reflexes and a gift for changing direction and exploding with speed,” he notes about Charlie. He praises Charlie for his intensity and his work ethic, calling him “a lethal threat and difference maker for the Warriors.” Cameron Fischi of Kanata, who played for the 2012 Bell Warriors bantam team since Kanata did not have a bantam team that year, is an offensive lineman who has both size and strength. “These four young men all share a selfless approach to commitment and dedication to the cause that is infectious,” Mr. Stewart says about them. He says that they are not only athletic but also bright, trustworthy, focused, polite, caring, thoughtful and generous. “They represent everything that our Club stands for and we couldn’t be prouder of them,” Mr. Stewart says about the four players.

Championship wrestling meet at South Carleton John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Sports - National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA) championship banners hang around the top of the walls of the main gymnasium at South Carleton High School in Richmond. The banners represent the school’s championships in a variety of sports including wrestling. Among the wrestling championship banners are ones for 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010 and 2011. And now there will be one more, as the South Carleton wrestlers won the boys and overall titles at the NCSSAA championship meet on Wednesday, Feb. 19. And this newest banner, when erected, will look down on the very site of the championship meet as it took place right in the South Carleton gymnasium. The top eight wrestlers in each weight category, four from the earlier West championship meet and four from the earlier East championship meet, met in this NCSSAA championship meet at South Carleton, with the top two finishers in each weight category earning the right to attend the provincial high school championship meet in Brampton in early March. Seven wrestlers from South Carleton will be off to this provincial high school championship as a result of their performance in this NCSSAA meet. Three wrestling mat areas filled the gym for the meet – one red, one blue and one orange. The action was continuous and ongoing throughout the day, with matches taking place. Each wrestler in a match usually had a
coach who shouted instructions to the wrestler throughout the match. Some, including coaches, video recorded matches. And the mats were surrounded by chairs for onlookers – parents, other wrestlers, coaches, students and others. There were scorekeeper tables for each mat, with digital score clocks conveying the score of each match as relayed to the scorer during the action by the referee supervising the match. And these referees were nimble, sometimes getting right down on the mat for the best view of the action and sometimes even scrambling around on all-fours as the wrestling action changed direction, forcing the referee to quickly move to another vantage position. The winner of a match was announced by the referee holding up the arm of the winning wrestler. And while wrestling is a combat sport, although with surprising few injuries evident, it is also a sport of civility as the combatants shook hands afterward, not only with themselves but also with the opposing coach. Many of the wrestlers wore identifying jerseys when not in action – so you saw jerseys proclaiming Brookfield Wrestling, Marauder Wrestling, Storm Wrestling and Pearson Wrestling. Sacred Heart Catholic High School of Stittsville had five wrestlers at the meet under the guidance of coaches Roland Cardinal, a teacher, and Tim Hickey, a Sacred Heart alumni and forJOHN CURRY/METROLAND mer wrestler for the school.

At long last - Team Lauwiliwilinukunuku’oi’oi wins John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - At last Friday’s ninth annual Rotary Trivia Night, they were called the “smartest people in Stittsville” when announcer Steve Hunter named the team as the Trivia Night winner. And while the self-proclaimed Team Lauwiliwilinukunuku’oi’oi, with members wearing Hawaiian leis, may now be considered the “smartest” team, they are also certainly the most persistent. Six year veterans of the Trivia Night, the team has finished in second spot, third spot and has even lost out on first place in a sudden death round. So, Team Lauwiliwilinukunuku’oi’oi has paid its dues , making this year’s victory that much sweeter. Lauwiliwilinukunuku’oi’oi, by the way, which is the name of a fish, apparently is the longest word in the Hawaiian language. Incidentally, 11 of the characters in the word are in the names of the team members. And just who are the members of this winning Team Lauwiliwilinuk unuku’oi’oi which accumulated 73 points out of a possible 110 points in the Trivia Night, a full six points ahead of the runner-up “More Popcorn Please” team which finished with 67 points? Team Lauwiliwilin ukunuku’oi’oi consists of Ken Nener, Myra Wilson, Sharon Fleck, Pat Shea, Cathy Thomson, Chris Thomson, Rick Blaiklock and Liz Zuiani. Second place in this year’s Rotary Trivia Night went to the “More Popcorn Please” team as noted. Third
place went to “Gwen’s Team,” which finished with 66 points, just one behind the second place team. The first and second place teams turned back their cash prizes ($500 and $350 respectively) to the Rotary Club. The third place “Gwen’s Team” did not turn back its $150 prize but is donating the funds to the Lymphoma Society of Canada in memory of the late Gwen Foss after whom the team is named and who participated in Rotary Trivia Nights before her death. Indeed, this team has been a perennial contender and winner in the Rotary Trivia Night over the years. This year’s Rotary Trivia Night involved ten rounds of ten trivia questions each, with one of the questions being worth two points, thus resulting in 110 points behind a perfect score in the event. The questions once again this year ranged from sports to art to geography to history to science to anything under the sun. And what were some of the questions? “What is the currency of Croatia?” was one of the questions (Answer – The Kuna). Or “What do the four “h’s” stand for in the 4H youth pledge?” was another (Answer – Head, Hands, Health and Heart). Or “What quantity of identical sheets are there in a ream of paper? (Answer – 500). Or “Who is the all-time leading point scorer in the history of the Toronto Raptors? (Answer – Chris Bosh). Or “What two countries share the Gobi desert?” (Answer – China and Mongolia). Or “Who was the person who was hung in 1869 for killing Darcy McGee?”
(Answer – Patrick Whelan). So, you get the idea – the questions were varied in topic, requiring a well rounded knowledge base for any team hoping to win. And again this year, there was a variety of team names for the 20 teams taking part in the event held at the
Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Besides the winning teams like Team Lauwiliwilinukunu ku’oi’oi, Team More Popcorn Please and Gwen’s Team, there were other teams like the “Surviving Singles,” “Jencor,” “Bridge Brigade,” “She Shoots, She scores,” “The Eh Team”

and the “Brigadier Generals.” Only one glimpse was given of how the teams were doing in the scoring at this year’s Trivia Night and that was after four rounds were played. At that time, “Gwen’s Team” was leading with 30 points, followed by the “Brigadier Generals” team with 26 points. During the 30 seconds in which teams were given the opportunity to answer a question posed by announcer Steve Hunter, recorded music from various television shows was played. This included such shows as the Jeopardy theme song, the Beverly Hillbillies theme song, the Welcome Back,, Kotter theme song, the WKRP theme song, the Andy Griffith Show theme song, the Gilligan’s Island theme song and more. Judges for this year’s Trivia Night were Ottawa Carleton District School Board principal Cindy Beauchamp, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri and Stittsville News editor John Curry. Prizes were awarded in each of the ten rounds of trivia questions and door prizes were also given away during the evening. Free popcorn was available to participants throughout the evening and a pizza break was held midway through the event. Stittsville District Lions Club members Paul Riddell and Bob Lewis looked after the bar for the event which was run by the Lions Club. Rotary Club member Theresa Qadri headed the Rotary Club’s organizing committee for the event.

MARY COOK
Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lessons on life included saying a good deed is erased if you brag about it
Mary Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Memories Lifestyle - Sometimes I got tired of listening to what Mother called her â&#x20AC;&#x153;lessons on life.â&#x20AC;? Just about everything I did provided me with a lesson on life according to Mother. I had to admit, most of them rolled off me like rain off a duckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back, but she persevered. Oh, how she persevered. We learned early about honesty. According to Mother, honesty was right up there with going to church every Sunday. Modesty was another thing she preached about. It took my
sister Audrey to explain to me that the modesty Mother was preaching about had nothing to do with running around the house in our flour bag underwear, or taking our Saturday night bath in front of everyone in the kitchen. It had everything to do with bragging about ourselves. And certainly envy, could lead us straight to hell in a hand basket. Then came the day when I learned about still another lesson on life. It had to do with a young girl who went to the Northcote School.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
Rather, she went to the Northcote School when she could. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual for her to miss several days in a row, and we all knew it had nothing to do with catching the measles or the whooping cough. It had everything to do with if she was needed at home. Even though she was only a few years older than I was, she was the oldest girl of a large family, and the chore of helping her mother often fell on her shoulders. We were poor like most other families around us deep in the Depression, but Audrey said her family was even poorer than we were. Her father worked in the bush miles from their farm, and was often away for weeks at a time. That left her mother to tend the farm, leaving little time to look after the younger children, so my little classmate, more often than not, had to stay at home to lend a hand. There was always a sadness about this young girl. You could see it in her face. She had long dark hair, and often she would tell me how she wished she had coloured ribbons like I had to tie it off her face. I knew without a doubt there simply wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough
extra money for hair ribbons to replace the elastic she used to tie her hair up in a knot on the top of her head. My hair ribbons were bought at Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Store in Renfrew only if Mother had a few extra pennies from selling her wares door to door, but at least I had hair ribbons. So I decided I would take two or three of my best ribbons, put them in a little paper bag, and hand them to the young girl at school. It was on one of the rare days she was at school, and I told her not to open the bag until she got home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No peeking,â&#x20AC;? I said. When I got home, I told Mother what I had done, and said I felt so good about it I was going to phone my best friend Velma and tell her about my good deed. Well, Mother told me to sit down, and I knew without a doubt, another lesson on life was coming -- she had that look about her. Mother said that when you did a good deed, if you told anyone about it, it erased the deed. I had a hard time grasping what she meant, since I knew I had done the deed, so how could it be erased? But Mother went on in great detail, telling me good deeds were no
longer good deeds if you bragged about them. I still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convinced, but as always, Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word was the law, so I kept to myself my giving the ribbons to my young classmate at the Northcote School. When she next came to school, several days later, so I knew she was needed at home, her long black hair was tied high on her head, and there was one of the long ribbons from the brown paper bag I had given her. She gave me the biggest smile, and neither of us said a word. No one knew but the two of us how she came to have brightly coloured ribbons tying up her long dark hair. A warm feeling came over me, and I knew then what Mother meant when she said a good deed is erased if you brag about it. Another lesson learned, and this one that has stayed with me since that day Mother sat me down in the kitchen so many years ago. Interested in an electronic version of Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s books?

Between a butter tart and pumpkin pie plus maple syrup and toasted pecans Foodland Ontario Special to the News
Lifestyle - These are somewhere between a butter tart and pumpkin pie but with a hint of maple syrup and toasted pecans — mmm good. Preparation time: 10 minutes. Cooking time: 37 minutes. Makes 24 tarts. Ingredients * 1 medium sweet potato, about 375 g (12 oz) * 25 mL (2 tbsp) butter, melted * 2 eggs * 250 ml (1 cup) maple syrup * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla * Pinch salt * 8 cm (24 3-inch) frozen tart shells, thawed * 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped toasted pecans Preparation Scrub the sweet potato and trim off the ends. Pierce it with small knife in several places;
microwave on the high setting for six to eight minutes or until tender, turning over halfway through the cycle. Let the sweet potato cool enough to handle, then remove the skin and mash it with a fork until smooth. Measure 250 ml (one cup) and place in a bowl. Whisk in the butter, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla and salt until it’s smooth. Bake the tart shells on a baking sheet, in batches if necessary, in a 190 C (375 F) oven for five minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the pecans among partially baked shells, gently pushing down any puffed-up pastry. Divide the sweet potato mixture among the shells. Bake for 20 to 24 minutes or until filling is slightly puffed, almost set and pastry is lightly golden. Let it cool on a rack. Tip: Make filling in a one-litre (four-cup) glass measuring cup and it will be easy to pour into tart shells.

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 613838-3723 or 613-838-5432 to arrange for tickets or you can pay at the door.

Looking for ideas for Munster school John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Munster Elementary School has a problem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; low enrolment due to the popularity of French Immersion programs elsewhere. And now the Ottawa Carleton District School Board is looking for suggestions from the community to try to rectify the situation and ensure that Munster Elementary School continues to
be a viable community school well into the future. Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee Lynn Scott presided at a public information and feedback meeting at the school on Wednesday evening, Feb. 19 to begin the discussion about what changes could be made to make Munster Elementary School more attractive to parents and their children. These changes could involve changes of

program, changes of attendance boundaries, changes of grade structure or other possible changes or a combination of such changes. Trustee Scott outlined the problem in her remarks at the meeting, noting that while the Munster enrolment area is generating 188 students from Junior Kindergarten to grade five, only 87 of these students currently attend Munster Elementary School and its English only programming. Another 68 of these students attend the Early French Immersion program for the area which is offered at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville while another 24 students from the Munster area are enrolled in the Middle French Immersion (starting at grade four) program at Richmond Public School. If all 188 students from the Munster Elementary School attendance area wanted the English program, then the school would have a viable and flourishing student population. But because of the popularity of French language education in the Ottawa area, many parents opt for the Early French Immersion or Middle French Immersion programs which means that their children go to other Board schools. A total of 87 students across seven grade levels (JK to grade five) is not sufficient to have a viable English program with one full class per grade. That means split classes in order to make the lower numbers work. Returning the Early French Immersion and Middle French Immersion students to Munster Elementary School is not considered a viable solution since this would mean that the school would be offering French Immersion programs with inadequate numbers as well as continuing with an English program also with inadequate student numbers. Trustee Scott pointed out that this would mean having two programs (English and French Immersion) at the school, both of which would be too small in numbers to have either program work really well. This would be just doubling the current problem, she said. So the solution does not lie in simply repatriating French Immersion students back to the Munster school, she noted. Trustee Scott also noted that any boundary changes would impact other schools, causing her to comment that there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;no simple easy or obvious solutionsâ&#x20AC;? to the low enrolment problem currently facing Munster Elementary School. She noted that the Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English programs all across the jurisdiction are facing some of the same challenges as now being ex-
perienced at Munster Elementary School. Changing the grade structure at Munster Elementary School, which is currently JK to grade five, is another possible change. Trustee Scott made it clear that the School Board believes that there will continue to be a need for Munster Elementary School well into the future but the challenge is to make better use of the students living in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries. Suggestions/concerns expressed by the 75 people attending the meeting at the Munster Elementary School gym included making all of the Board programming French Immersion, eliminating the English only program; the current small student enrolment and staffing at Munster Elementary School means that the students are missing out on some extra curricular and social activities; relocating the English program now offered at Richmond Public School to Munster Elementary School; and the need for urgency on this matter as parents are starting to remove their students from the school in favour of other schools and a proposed two year time frame to implement any changes is not soon enough. Trustee Scott urged those present and other parents to submit suggestions about how the current low enrolment problem at Munster Elementary School could be solved. She admitted that she could not promise anything at this stage since the Board knows from experience that there may be some real problems which prevent some proposals from being implemented. But she said that if some suggestions submitted are so prevalent, then the Board will investigate them. That is why feedback and input are important in this process now underway. What do you believe would make Munster Elementary School the first choice for a parent to send a child to the school is the question that Trustee Scott formulated in helping people address the problem and submit possible solutions. How do make sure that Munster Elementary School best serves its community, she said, adding that the challenge is to ensure that whatever programs are offered at the school are strong ones that are working for the students. Comments and suggestions about the best ways to make use of Munster Elementary School to serve its community can be submitted via email to planning@ocdsb or by mail to the Planning Department, Ottawa Carleton District School Board, 133 Greenbank Road, Nepean, ON K2H6L3.

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 this 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
this 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.

St. Patrick’s Supper at St. Clare’s at Dwyer Hill Special to the News
News - This year it happens only one day before the actual St. Patrick’s Day on Monday, March 17. It’s the annual tradition of a St. Patrick’s Supper hosted by St. Clare’s Church at Dwyer Hill. The hall at the church on Dwyer Hill Road south of Franktown Road will be filled not only with Irish feeling but also with some of the best food to be found anywhere, as the supper will feature a delicious homemade meal. What a way to celebrate St. Paddy’s Day happening just hours from the holding of this supper. This St. Patrick’s Supper at St. Clare’s will run from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 16, with everyone welcome to attend. You will not only enjoy a great meal but also will be able to purchase a chance at winning a quilt in a quilt raffle. For more information about the supper, please contact Shirley O’Connor at 613-838-2704. As most know, especially those who are Irish (and who isn’t Irish around St. Patrick’s Day), St. Patrick, who lived from 385 to 461 A.D., is the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day itself has been a Christian feast day since the early 17th century, with the day commemorating St. Patrick and the arrival of Christianity in Ireland as well as the culture of the Irish in general. It is widely celebrated around the world today. St. Patrick went to Ireland in 432 to bring Christianity to the then-pagan Irish. One of his teaching methods, apparently, including using the shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the Trinity to the Irish. The three-leaved shamrock is today the best known symbol associated with St. Patrick’s Day. Also associated with St. Patrick’s Day and the Irish in general is the colour green, with green shamrocks in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day being worn as early as the 17th century. The term “the wearing of the green” usually refers to wearing a shamrock on clothing on St. Patrick’s Day. The celebration of St. Patrick’s Day has even reached outer space. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield took photographs of Ireland from earth orbit and a picture of himself wearing green clothing in the space station and posted the images online on St. Patrick’s Day last year. He also posted online a recording of himself singing the Irish tune “Danny Boy” in space. A euchre party hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club will be held on Thursday, Feb. 27 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Everyone welcome.

Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville member Leo Maiorino, right, holds the microphone as fellow Rotary Club member Wes Zacharuk, left, reads out the winning number for one of the door prizes at the Club’s International Film Series at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum on Thursday, Feb. 20.
News - At the 2013 Berlin International Film Festival, Chilean actress Paulina Garcia captured the Silver Bear Award for best actress. And now you will be able to see why and enjoy her performance in the film “Gloria” which is the next film to be shown in the 2014 Stittsville Rotary International Film Series. And winning a Silver Bear Award for best actress at the Berlin International Film Festival is no mean feat. Previous winners of the award have included such luminaries as Meryl Streep, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Michelle Pfeiffer, Lily Tomlin, Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley MacLaine. Quite an illustrious and talented group! The Berlin International Film Festival itself, by the way, is considered one of the world’s leading film festivals. Dating back to 1978, it shows up to 400 films at each festival. “Gloria,” the fourth feature film directed by Chilean film director Sebastian Lelio, tells the story of Gloria, a middle-aged divorcee, a lively, active person who is shown with her family, in social situations and at a number of dances and parties. During the film which is set in Santiago, the capital of Chile, she enters a whirlwind relationship with another divorcee, Rudolph, who is a former naval officer.. It is generally an upbeat film about a positive character, Gloria, played by Paulina Garcia who meets life’s ups and downs with fortitude and resilience. She exhibits not only passion but a sense of humour and independence. The 110 minute long film also features an intricate soundtrack with a range of mainly popular music. This film “Gloria” is the third of four films that are being shown in the Stittsville Rotary International Film Series this year. “Gloria” will be shown on Thursday, March 20 at the Landmark
Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata starting at 7 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. The first two films showing in this Rotary International Film Series have been “The Hunt,” which was shown at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival as well as at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, and then “Inside Llewyn Davis,” a 2013 American comedy/drama film telling the story of one week in the life of a talented but struggling folk singer in Greenwich Village in New York City in 1961. The fourth and final film to be screened in this Rotary International Film Series will be “The Lunchbox,” a film from India whose actors include Irfan Khan who performed in both “Life of Pi” and “Slumdog Millionaire,” to be shown on Thursday, April 24. Passes for the remaining two films in this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 now can be purchased only through the Rotary Club website or by phoning Valerie Wright of the Rotary Club at 613-836-9125. The passes, initially costing $40, are now pro-rated and cost only $20 each. There are just a few passes left, so quick action is recommended to anyone who wants to acquire one for the rest of the International Film Series. This year’s Rotary International Film Series has been organized by a Rotary Club committee comprised of members Valerie Wright, Steve Hunter and Wes Zacharuk. Major sponsor is mortgage broker Leo Maiorino who is also a Rotary Club member. Other sponsors, supporters and partners which allow this Rotary International Film Series to happen include Theresa Qadri of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, John Thompson, Wes Zacharuk Co-operators Insurance, Gaia Java Coffee Company, Telefilm Canada, the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Cineplex, Landmark Theatres, Bell, RBC Royal Bank, L’Oreal, Visa, Audi, the federal and provincial governments and the Toronto International Film Festival.

Local Project Linus Chapter Receives Donation from Capital Memorial Gardens Thursday February 13 was a banner day for the local Project Linus Chapter that meets at Wool-Tyme. They were presented with a substantial cheque from the Arbor Memorial Foundation, the charitable foundation of Capital Memorial Gardens. With Wool-Tyme providing the yarn at wholesale prices, this donation will provide the Project Linus knitters with a year’s supply of yarn.
Free Talk on Anxiety Disorders Arthur Rowshan is a specialist who has, for the past 23 years, helped hundreds of people that suffer from complex cases of anxiety disorders. He has honed an effective approach that provides long lasting results in a relatively short time.
This chapter of Project Linus has been providing blankets to sick children at CHEO since 1998. This dedicated group of volunteers has been meeting in the afternoons on the second and fourth Thursday of every month for 16 years (with the occasional cancellation due to weather). Each meeting is attended by an average of 10 people. From the laughter emanating from the classroom, the volunteers are enjoying the company, the tea, and most of all – seeing all the donated blankets that Ottawa Valley residents have taken the time to knit, crochet, or quilt. Stories are exchanged and the problems of the world solved while they sew the official Project Linus tags to the blankets. They have delivered over 12,700 blankets to the hospital.
The talk will cover myths about anxiety, treatment options and will introduce this new approach.
This donation from the Arbor Foundation will go a long way in providing many more blankets to the children at CHEO. Many thanks to all the staff of Capital Memorial Gardens for their generosity. Would you like to be involved with Project Linus? It’s easy and everyone is welcome. Donate some yarn or knit/ crochet a blanket or make some squares to be pieced together into a blanket. Donations (yarn or blankets) must be new material, machine washable and dryable, and be free of odours and pet hair. Donations of yarn or blankets can be dropped off at Wool-Tyme (190 Colonnade Rd S., Ottawa) during regular business hours. You can come and join the volunteers from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on the second and fourth Thursday of every month to sew on tags, piece together squares, or make blankets. Yarn from this wonderful donation will be distributed during the regular Project Linus meetings.
Participants will also receive an advance copy of his upcoming book on anxiety. Monday March 17th 7PM
