News - It was a good night for Stittsville’s coffee shops. The annual People’s Choice Business Awards (PCBA) gala hosted by the West Ottawa Board of Trade (WOBT) at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata on Thursday, Feb. 26 saw awards go to both Quitters Coffee and Gaia Java Coffee Company, two Stittsville coffee shops. Quitters Coffee, which opened on Stittsville Main Street last October, received the New Business of the Year Award in the category which included the geographic areas of both Goulbourn and West Carleton. In her acceptance remarks as she held the PCBA award, Quitters Coffee owner and operator Kathleen Edwards, who was one of Canada’s most acclaimed singers before opening her coffee shop in Stittsville, pointed out that she had been nominated for 11 Juno Awards, the Canadian music industry’s most prestigious honour, but had never won one and yet now she has been up for one PCBA award and is a winner. She said that to her community is everything, noting that she had toured the world singing for 15 years and it was community that was missing from her life. Then she arrived in Stittsville and she found community. Quitters Coffee won the award over the Nestle Toll House CafÊ and Six1Three Hockey, both of Stittsville.

MINIMIZE THE FINAL INCOME TAX LIABILITY OF YOUR ESTATE proper planning, a deceased’s “ Without income tax liability could be significant Did you know that approximately 80% of Canadians will donate to a charity during their lifetime? However, it is estimated that less than 10% will include a gift to a registered charity in their Will.

By Marty Clement, Leader EY’s Professionals Services marty.clement@ca.ey.com (613) 598-4894

This is one of a series of several articles intended to build awareness about the impact of legacy giving to Forever CHEO. In addition to the spiritual and community benefits of gifting to a registered charity, naming a registered charity as a beneficiary in your Will can also be an effective way to minimize the final income tax liability

of an estate. Without proper planning, a deceased’s income tax liability could be significant. Various income inclusions at the time of death, such as deemed capital gains and the fair market value of an RRSP can result in a higher than expected estate income tax liability given Canada’s graduated income tax rates.

Gifts to Forever CHEO can include cash legacies, bequests of real or personal property, securities, life insurance proceeds and all or part of the residue of the estate. All of these gifts can potentially generate tax credits available to reduce an estate’s income tax liability. Additionally, the gifting of certain types of capital property to Forever CHEO under the terms of a Will may avoid capital gains but still maximize the tax credits available from such a gift.

If you are interested in finding out about how you can leave a CHEO legacy, please contact Megan Doyle Ray at

megandoyle@cheofoundation.com or (613) 738-3694

”

Please feel free to contact any member of CHEO’s Legacy Advisory Committee for more information about minimizing the tax liability of your estate and how you can make a lasting impact on the kids and families at CHEO. We would be happy to help you create your Forever CHEO legacy for generations of CHEO patients.

E-I-O George at Friendship Club luncheon John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s a song that over the years has been recorded by such singers as Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald and Gene Autry. So it’s a well known tune and taking your stage name from it is not such a bad idea – it’s easily recognized and remembered. So that’s what has happened and E-I-O George uses this name based on the song “Old MacDonald Had A Farm� as he goes around performing at hospitals, nursing homes, retirement residences, weddings, anniversaries and other events. And on Wednesday, Feb. 25, he brought his performance skills, honed over more than 65 years in 12 countries, to the monthly luncheon of the Friendship Club at the Legion Hall in Stittsville. He readily admits that E-I-O George is a lot easier for folks to remember than any traditional surname and that’s why he has adopted the name as his stage name. E-I-O, of course, comes from the familiar children’s song “Old MacDonald Had A Farm� about a farmer named MacDonald and the various animals he keeps on his farm. So the lyrics include the phrases “Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O/And on that farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O.� It’s a children’s song that is popular not only in English but in Arabic, Italian, German, Spanish, Danish, Polish, Portuguese, French, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese, Finnish and Korean. Its earliest known version in English dates to the 1917 book “Tommy’s Tunes,� a collection of World War One era songs, al-

The Business of the Year award goes to a Stittsville business that has contributed significantly to the quality of life in Stittsville. All of these awards are presented based on nominations received from members of

though its words and particularly the refrain are different than the familiar version. The oldest recording of the song dates to 1925 by the Sam Patterson Trio. At his hour-long performance at the Friendship Club luncheon, E-I-O George, accompanying himself on the accordion, entertained with a bevy of old time favourite songs which indeed succeeded in achieving his stated goal with the 35 in attendance – lifting their spirits and getting them singing and smiling. He did this with his songs including some singalong tunes and a number of amusing stories and jokes. Among the songs that he sung were “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,� “My Wild Irish Rose,� “You Are My Sunshine,� “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,� “Lady of Spain,� “On Top of Old Smokey,� “Put another Nickle in the Nickelodeon (Music! Music! Music!)� and “Roll Out The Barrel (Beer Barrel Polka).� But there was more including “Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be),� the Doris Day hit from the 1956 movie “The Man Who Knew Too Much.� And he also performed what he called the most popular song in North America in the 20th century – “Take Me Out To The Ball Game.� This song, written as a tin pan alley song in 1908, has become the unofficial anthem for baseball, traditionally sung during the middle of the seventh inning of a ball game. And E-I-O George finished off his performance with “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary,� the most familiar song from World War One. When it was over, there were smiles all around – E-I-O George had done what he set out to do – lifted spirits and got people smiling and singing.

the public. These nominations must be submitted by Friday, April 10. Nomination forms can be found on the front page of councillor Qadri’s website at www.shadqadri.com. The nomination form can also be printed off from the website and then filled out and dropped off at councillor Qadri’s ward office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville.

Citizen of Year award goes to Ruth Richardson of Stittsville Continued from page 1

She and her husband Rev. Dillenbeck organize service learning experiences to Managua in Nicaragua where the group consisting of both youth and adults participate in community service projects such as house building and involvement with schools. This ten day experience happens during the March Break period. These trips require lots of preparation, both in terms of participants learning about Nicaragua and also in raising funds to pay for the trip and to help out in that developing country. These trips are always life changing experiences for those who participate and they do spread the information about the experience when they return. Last year, when Sacred Heart Catholic High School was considering a student service trip to Nicaragua, Ruth was there to provide some advice and tips about such a trip. Ruth organizes FUNDAY Sundays at the Stittsville United Church in both June and in September. They are open to everyone in the community, providing activities for children, entertainment and lunch.

Ruth directs a musical in the spring each year to give Stittsville residents an opportunity to display their talents. She has directed six of these musical shows that are presented with elaborate sets and scenery at the Stittsville United Church. This year Ruth is directing the off-Broadway show “The Ark.” These musicals also provide an opportunity for people in the community to attend and enjoy a locally produced musical right in the community. This all builds community. Ruth is also involved in helping create the Stittsville United Church float in the annual Stittsville Parade of Lights before Christmas each year. Ruth is a trained labyrinth facilitator and offers labyrinth workshops in a variety of settings both locally and across the country. She has assisted in creating over 20 labyrinth sites and has been consulted by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville in the development of a labyrinth as part of the Rotary Peace Park being developed at Bell Memorial Park in Stittsville. Ruth was instrumental in begin-

ning a Kidney Walk in Stittsville three years ago. It was a new initiative that was prompted by the kidney health issues suffering by a friend of hers. Not only has the event grown in participation over the three years and has raised much-needed funds for the Kidney Foundation but the walk has also increased awareness in the community of kidney health and kidney disease. This awareness stems not only from the publicity surrounding the events but also from the sight of walkers streaming along Stittsville Main Street on a Sunday morning in September, participating both as individuals and also as members of teams with names such as “Crazy for Kidneys” and “United We Walk.” Last year a number of people were seeking a drum circle experience in Stittsville. So Ruth took up the issue

Ruth is a nurse educator at Algonquin College in the area of hospice palliative care. She has been a hospice palliative care nurse for over 30 years, both in community and institutional palliative care nursing. She is one of the founding board members for a west end hospice in Ottawa. She has designed and offered leadership in the west end hospice day programs both at Bells Corners United Church and at St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond. “I enjoy seeing a need and getting busy making things a reality to address that need,” Ruth writes in an email. “I enjoy supporting people with their health and their family issues and our home in Stittsville has five bedrooms and is always a place for people need-

Teach the children well

W

hen is the best time to learn how to use a compass? Before you get lost in the woods or when/if you survive? Should a student learn how to measure the angles in a triangle before the geometry test or after? And lastly, do we make sure kids know sexual activity can have negative consequences before they are sexually active or after they are pregnant, diseased or damaged? Arming children with information they need to make good decisions is what we ask our schools and teachers to do. In a perfect world, parents would provide all the sex ed information their child needs before they need it. Kids’ questions at home would be answered and the lines of communication would allow discussion and continuing learning. The Ontario government recently introduced new health and sexual education guidelines for teachers. The goal is clear: get information to stu-

dents at appropriate times, knowing that they will need it before they face important decisions. Playing the part of the ostrich is Campaign Life Coalition, which immediately set about trying to scare parents. The coalition’s press release warned the new curriculum, “... will discuss oral & anal sex in G. 7, masturbation in Gr. 6, homosexuality in Gr. 3 and sexual body parts in Gr. 1.� Take any parent who has a problem with anal and oral sex being discussed in Grade 7 and ask them: when do you plan to discuss it with them? The answer is likely never, which leaves their kids at greater risk of a bad decision than those who learn the risks at school. Naming sexual body parts happens in the home, well before a child gets to school. Kids have questions, and parents provide names. By the first day of junior kindergarten, every kid will know that boys and girls are different. So what’s to be scared of? In a word, ignorance.

No big fixes needed at National Gallery

T

he National Gallery folks are commissioning one of those studies to find out why attendance isn’t great. I hope part of that study includes common sense, because you know how studies work. It is not encouraging to know that the gallery, in its request for proposals is looking for “new baseline data to assist us in achieving our visitorcentric approach.� The study will also concern “motivation, expectations, brand attributes and intrinsic values.� Language like that, so common around here, gives you that sinking feeling, and yet there is nothing in the gallery itself that should give cause for alarm. It is a gem, both inside and out. The Great Hall, a work of art in itself, makes, through its windows, a

was about, and all the expense. Now it’s a familiar part of the landscape. The location is not bad, particularly historically, but it’s a bit off the beaten track, particularly for walkers. Underground parking is OK, although some people don’t like that. Plus, it’s an area that gets a lot of traffic, so it doesn’t feel like an easy place to drive to. Obviously, there’s nothing that can be done about the location. Ottawa would help itself considerably and boost attendance at its major attractions by setting up a free system of shuttle buses to take people to and from the major galleries, museums and other attractions.

One piece, Leaves of Grass, by Geoffrey Farmer, consists of about 20,000 photos and illustrations from Life magazine from 1935-1985, glued together and arranged along a table that is 124-feet long.

Rotary Club president at Harper/Gates gathering Special to the News

News - The elimination of polio in the world is one of the initiatives backed by Rotary Clubs around the world. And so when a major an-

nouncement was being made in Ottawa regard- present. This is what happened on Wednesday, Feb. ing funding directed at measures to strengthen immunity to polio, it only made sense that some 25 when Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Rotary representation might be invited to be billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, hosted a gathering at The Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat on Sussex Drive in Ottawa to announce $22.5 million in additional funding for inoculation programs in some of the world’s poorest countries. And one of the Rotary representatives at this gathering was Rosemary Brummell, president of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stitts-

ville who was among a group of 21 Rotarians invited to attend this gathering. The event was billed as “a conversation regarding Canadian leadership on maternal, newborn and child health: vaccines and nutrition.� Besides representatives from Rotary, the gathering also included representatives from other groups such as the Kiwanis who are also involved in international work pertaining to the topic. See AT THE DELEGATION, page 10

At The Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat Continued from page 9

At the event, Prime Minister Harper announced new funding for two initiatives - $20 million to strengthen immunity to polio and up to $2.5 million over two years to help eradicate maternal and neonatal tetanus. Prime Minister Harper and Bill Gates both urged the world to keep the issue of maternal, newborn and child health as a development priority. Prime Minister Harper has championed this cause ever since June 2010 when he persuaded world leaders at the G8 Summit in Muskoka to focus on maternal and child health. He has worked alongside Bill Gates and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in making this happen. At the event, Mr. Gates said that while progress has been made, much more needs to be

done, noting that childhood deaths now are half of what they were in 1990. He now wants to see this number cut in half again. With regard to the fight to eradicate polio in the world, Mr. Gates noted that with regard to polio, thanks to the leadership of Rotary on the issue, “we are so very, very close” to eliminating the disease from the world. The $20 million announced regarding strengthening immunity to polio will go to the World Health Organization and its campaign aimed at accomplishing this. The $2.5 million allocated over two years to help eradicate maternal and neonatal tetanus will be used to match the contributions of UNICEF Canada and the Kiwanis Foundation of Canada for a campaign to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus in several African countries as well as in Pakistan. At this Feb. 25 event Prime Minister Harper

also announced funding of up to $20 million over five years to support research into improving the delivery of health care for mothers, newborns and children in 13 sub-Saharan African countries. The Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat, where this gathering was held, is a building belonging to the Aga Khan Foundation Canada located on Sussex Drive in Ottawa between the Saudi Arabian embassy and the Lester B. Pearson Building. Opened in 2008, the building serves as a de facto embassy for the Aga Khan of Nizari Ismailism in Canada. The building is the first in the world to represent Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, spiritual leader of the world’s 15 million Ismaili Muslims. The building houses employees of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada, a non-profit development agency, as well as the Global Centre for Plural-

ism, an education and research centre. The Aga Khan Foundation is a private, notfor-profit international development agency founded in 1967 by the Aga Khan. It seeks to provide long-term solutions to problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy and ill health in the poorest parts of the world. The Foundation’s head office is located in Geneva, Switzerland. Aga Khan is a name used by the Imam of the Nizari Ismailis since 1818. The current Aga Khan is Shah Karim who is the 49th Imam. The current Aga Khan, Prince Shah Karim Al Hussaini Aga Khan (IV), has stated that his goals include the elimination of global poverty, the promotion and implementation of secular pluralism, the advancement of the status of women and the honouring of Islamic art and architecture.

‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The stage at the theatre at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville becomes Maycomb, Alabama this week. That’s because it will be the site for the presentation of the play “To Kill A Mockingbird� based on the 1960 novel of the same name which won the Pulitzer Prize. And, as such, the stage will be transformed into the town of Maycomb, Alabama where the action of the play takes place, as it did with the novel. This play “To Kill A Mockingbird� is being presented from Wednesday, March 4 through Saturday, March 7. Curtain time on Wednesday, March 4, Thursday, March 5 and Friday, March 6 is at 7 p.m. each day. Curtain time on Saturday, March 7 is 2 p.m. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend. Tickets are $7 for students and seniors and $10 for adults. This play is the annual major theatrical production that is presented at the school and will be the school’s entry in the annual Canada’s Capital Cappies, a program that highlights high school productions both musical and dramatic with awards being pre-

sented at a gala at the National Arts Centre in June. Sacred Heart teacher/director Ms. Marina Westbrook opted to present a drama this year, saying that she wanted the students to present a serious play with a powerful message. It is also a timely production as Harper Lee, the author of the book on which both the play and an earlier movie are based, just recently announced that she will be releasing another book, only her second one, this coming July. This new novel, “Go Set A Watchman,� is a sequel to “To Kill A Mockingbird.� The leading roles in this Sacred Heart play “To Kill A Mockingbird�, such as that lawyer and father Atticus Finch, daughter Jean Louise “Scout� Finch, son Jeremy “Jem� Finch, young friend Charles Baker “Dill� Harris, have a double cast and will perform on alternating nights for the run of the production. This is because of the extensive dialogue involving these characters. Alternating performances will give the student actors more time for school work. In addition, the double cast allows for more opportunities for students to assume a leading role in the play.

The play involves three major scenes: the opening scene setting up the story in the town of Maycomb, Alabama; another scene in the Maycomb courtroom where Atticus Finch defends a black man, Tom Robinson, who has been accused of raping a white woman; and a final scene involving an attack on the Finch children. The play has elaborate sets constructed for the presentation including the Finch home with its front porch, the “Boo� Radley home, the town jail and a tree outside the Radley home where Scout Finch finds little gifts left there. The 1960 novel by Harper Lee has been adapted as a play by Christopher Sergel, with the play debuting in 1990 in Alabama where it continues to run every May. This play has toured in the United Kingdom in 2006 and again in 2011 and yet again in 2013. The book was made into a film in 1962, with Gregory Peck starring as Atticus Finch, a role in which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. The movie won a total of three Academy Awards and was nominated for five more. See PLAY, page 13

Peeking around a tree as they rehearse for the play “To Kill A Mockingbird� which is being presented at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville this week are, from front to back, Madeline Middleton in the role of “Scout,� Paul Smith as Dill and Daniel Pageau as Jem.

Play based on novel at Sacred Heart High Continued from page 11

The book has become a classic of modern American literature, renowned for its warmth and humour despite dealing with the serious issues of rape and racial inequality. The plot and characters in the book and subsequent movie and play are loosely based on the author’s observations of her family and neighbours as well as on an event that occurred near her Alabama hometown in 1936 when she was ten years old. Primary themes of the book are racial injustice and the destruction of youthful innocence. The book is widely taught in schools with lessons that emphasize tolerance and decry prejudice. When first published in 1960, the book became a quick sensation. It has gone through numerous printings subsequently. Harper Lee’s new and second novel, “Go Set A Watchman,” will be published this coming July. It was actually completed in the 1950’s and is set 20 years after the events in “To Kill A Mockingbird.” It follows an adult Scout Finch as she travels from New York to Maycomb, Alabama to visit her father Atticus Finch. Harper Lee apparently actually wrote this new novel “Go Set A Watchman” before “To

Kill A Mockingbird” but it was rejected by her editors who were more interested in the flashbacks contained in the novel. The editors persuaded the author to write another novel from the point of view of the young Scout and this novel became “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Harper Lee, born in 1926, has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her contribution to literature even though “To Kill A Mockingbird” has been the only novel that she has published to date. As a child, she reportedly was a tomboy, a precocious reader and best friend with her school mate and neighbour, the young Truman Capote who went on to become one of America’s best known authors. The Cappies is an international program for recognizing, celebrating and honouring high school theatre productions. There are about 17 Cappies programs in Canada and the United States including the one here in Ottawa. Besides encouraging student productions, both musicals and dramas, the Cappies program also involves high school students who serve a student critics, writing reviews of the various productions. The best of these reviews are published in the Ottawa Citizen along with photo coverage of the production.

Voices in harmony make music at Gaia Java shop John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The only musical instruments around the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at its music evening last Friday were those featured in the paintings that adorn one wall of the

shop. The performers for the evening created their music simply by using their voices as both were a cappella vocal groups. And so there wasn’t a musical instrument in sight unless you consider the pitch pipe used by Keith Lindsey of the Northern Stars

Chorus to provide a pitch reference for his fellow singers before each song. A pitch pipe is a small device used to provide a pitch reference for singers without absolute pitch. It is a musical instrument but not typically used to play music as such. It

is used just to provide the right pitch for singers. But on this evening, there was no need for instruments (except perhaps for the pitch pipe) as the voices of these performers demonstrated that the greatest of musical instruments is the human voice itself. The melodic sounds that voices, acting in harmony, can produce were much in evidence within the walls of the Gaia Java shop, much to the enjoyment of the audience which filled every seat in the place. First up on this Friday music evening was the Cuppa Joe vocal jazz quartet comprised of John Wilson as tenor, Peter Feldman as baritone, Valerie Bouillant as soprano and Deanna Rozon as alto. They began with their signature tune, “Java Jive,” a tune that became famous thanks to the vocal groups The Ink Spots and later The Manhattan Transfer. And, indeed, what better song to begin a performance with at a coffee shop than this song with its lyrics “I love coffee, I love tea/I love the Java Jive and it loves me.” After following “Java Jive” up with “How High,” a jazz standard from the 1940’s, the group sang a group of pop songs as it is expanding its repertoire from its vocal jazz base. So the audience got to hear “Lonesome Road,” “On The Roof,” the Beatles’ 1965 song “In My Life” and “Stray Cat Strut” from the 1982 debut album by the American rockabilly band Stray Cats. The Cuppa Joe quartet finished out its set with two jazz classics, both covered by The Manhattan Transfer including “Route 66,” a song with which The Manhattan Transfer won a Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Duo or Group, in 1982. Indeed, Cuppa Joe made its own history, as it were, with this song as baritone Peter Feldman performed what he called the first ever Tim Hauser bass scat solo during this song,

eliciting a burst of applause from the audience. The late Tim Hauser was a member of both the first manifestation of The Manhattan Transfer established in 1969 and its second line-up formed in 1973. He died last October. The Manhattan Transfer was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. The Cuppa Joe quartet finished its performance with the 1939 British song that has become a popular standard, ‘A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square.” The second set at this Friday music evening was presented by seven members of the Northern Stars Chorus, a four-part harmony barbershop music group. Their performance reads like a list of some of barbershop music’s most iconic tunes: “Coney Island Baby,” “Lulu’s Back in Town,” “Kentucky Babe,” “Darkness on the Delta,” “Let Me Call You Sweetheart,” “Heart of My Heart,” “Swing Down Chariot,” Run, Run, Run,” “Going Home,” “Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair,” “That Railroad Rag,” and “Magnificent Flyboys Medley.” The group finished up with John Denver’s signature song from 1971, “Country Roads,” followed by the Beatles “When I’m 64” from the 1967 album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” before saying “so long” musically with “Irish Blessing.” Members of the North3ern Stars Chorus who performed at this Friday music evening were Stuart MacMartin, Dan Sunderland, Peter Hale, Pierre Joannou, Keith Lindsey, Matthew Gregg and Hank Rydzyk. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville hosts a music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free but early arrival is recommended for best seating. A donation jar is there for voluntary contributions to help the musicians with expenses.

Nine participate in Lions effective speaking contest John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Words filled the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, Feb. 25 as the Stittsville District Lions Club held its annual effective speaking contest for youth. This year the competition attracted nine participants – seven in the junior category (grades 6, 7 and 8) and two in the intermediate category (grades 9 and 10). Participants in the junior category were Shannon Wallace, Karolina Moo, Connery Foster, Julia Robertson, Olivia Brown, Georgia Brown and Isabelle Tate. Participants in the intermediate category were Kennedy Foster and Alexis St. Pierre. Each of these participants presented a prepared speech at least three minutes in length which was judged by a trio of judges – city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, Lions Club member Ramsay Ferguson and Lions Club member Paul Riddell. Theresa Qadri served as the official

timer while Lion Wayne Beaten, who organized the event on behalf of the Lions Club, served as the MC for the competition. The speeches covered a wide range of topics from heart transplants to child labour to recycling to mental makeup to horror stories to snow to music to debt to selfidentity. First place in the junior division went to Georgia Brown who took home the $100 first prize and also has the opportunity to go on to the Lions District A4 effective speaking competition at the end of March and then possibly to the Lions Multiple District ‘A’ competition where the prize could be up to $1,000. Second place in the junior division went to Connery Foster with its $50 prize while third place was taken by Olivia Brown who won $25. In the intermediate division, Alexis St. Pierre finished in first place, with Kennedy Foster placing second. In her winning speech, Georgia Brown

talked about snow, noting that Ottawa receives an average of 175 centimeters of snow annually. She noted the recent phenomenon of coloured sticks appearing at the end of driveways in wintertime. She also noted how snow makes possible fun winter activities like sledding, skiing and making snowmen. And she made particular note of something that snow makes possible – snow days when there is no school. Connery Foster, in his speech, lamented the current trend of people constantly feeling they have to buy the latest products, forcing more of the earth’s resources to be used. And he wondered about some of the new products, such as a cell phone that can operate under water, adding that he himself had never found a need to make a call while swimming. He said that in Canada, people average 67 plastic water bottles used per year per person, totalling six billion such bottles. He urged people to drink tap water rather than creating such waste.

“We only have one earth. We have to change our behaviour,” he told the audience. Olivia Brown, who placed third in the junior category, provided in her speech three tips on how to create a good horror movie or book don’t use clichés, provide a good back story for character development and come up with a good, satisfying ending. Intermediate category winner Alexis St. Pierre spoke about the struggles facing teens on fitting in with their peers and yet maintain self-identity. Intermediate category runner-up Kennedy Foster lamented how Canadians were becoming slaves to debt by buying items that they do not really need. He said that people need to be able to say “I can’t afford it.” See LIONS, page 21

Karolina Moo, another junior category participant, told about the use of child labour today

Julia Robertson, another junior category participant, talked about applying “mental makeup” to cover emotions, urging that people think positive about things. Isabelle Tate, in the junior category, told how music can be used to express emotions, especially love.

Please Help This Young Teen Find a Permanent Family

A

n intelligent, funny, athletic, and artistic young teen, Paul is succeeding in class, on the ice, and on the stage, while working to face challenges around loss and instability in his family life.

Paul has all the tools he needs to succeed, but needs a family to provide the solid foundation that will allow him to rebuild the trust and sense of security that so many take for granted. Paul needs a family who can keep up with his wit, share in his wonderful stories, and support his extracurricular activities. He's looking for parents who will take the time to explain things to him, and who can keep open channels of communication, while showing flexibility and trust. He needs empathy for his past as well in order to pursue his emotional growth. Paul is in many ways your average young teenager. He loves the outdoors and is very passionate about fishing. He is a voracious reader, loves movies and would like a family who can spend an evening together watching a good flick. Paul has a great passion for stories, which plays out not only in his reading and movie watching, but acting as well. His Greek heritage—of which his is very proud—might explain his love of acting. If you or someone you know might be interested in learning more about Paul's need for a permanent family, please contact Michael McDougall at the Children's Aid Society of Ottawa, at 613-747-7800 ext. 2828 or email him at michael.mcdougall@casott.on.ca.

Hydro Ottawa conďŹ rmed their commitment to providing reliability in their system and working to mitigate future power outages. SpeciďŹ cally, Hydro Ottawa is going to install several sensors that will help them pinpoint the cause of future power outages, helping to speed restoration time. Hydro Ottawa crews have also surveyed the overhead line, and have identiďŹ ed areas where additional tree trimming would be beneďŹ cial. Hydro Ottawa is already proactively replacing several pieces of equipment in poor condition, and will also scan all equipment in this region to identify others that need to be changed. Additionally, their engineering group is investigating whether the electrical system in the area can be reconďŹ gured to provide additional redundancy and resiliency. I will continue to provide updates on this matter as Hydro Ottawa works to improve their service to this area. March Break Craft Workshops for Creative Kids

Creative kids will make glove monsters, letter art & spy gardens at three craft workshops being offered at Goulbourn Museum this March Break. The workshops are geared to children ages 6-11 and will run on Tuesday, March 17, Wednesday, March 18, and Thursday, March 19 from 9:00am to Noon. Kids can sign up for all three or just for one.

During March Break the Museum will be open Monday - Sunday from 1-4 p.m. for extended playtime in its popular Village Store. Older Adult Plan Consultation and Celebration

Mayor Jim Watson will host a consultation event, funded by the Province of Ontario, to help shape the City’s Older Adult Plan 2015-2018 and to celebrate the many accomplishments of the current plan since it was adopted in 2012. This event will take place between 10:00am and 3:30pm at Ottawa City Hall on Wednesday, March 18th. Register for this consultation and celebration at ottawa.ca/olderadults or call 3-1-1. The Older Adult Plan was adopted in October 2012, reinforcing Ottawa’s commitment to becoming an age-friendly and caring community. Among the accomplishments to be celebrated are: Improved accessibility of buildings and outdoor spaces, including the installation of benches; improved access to supports for vulnerable older adults who have low incomes or are socially isolated; additional tailored programming for older adults in the areas of ďŹ tness, computer literary and CPR training; enhanced communication means, including an older adult portal on ottawa.ca and printed guides of City programs and services for older adults

Recently, we have seen an increase in the frequency of power outages in the Ashton area, with outage reports coming from Flewellyn Road, Ashton Station Road, Lucas Lane, McCaffrey Trail and so on. These outages seem to consistently impact between 600 and 700 customers in that area. As a result of this increased frequency, I reached out to Hydro Ottawa’s Chief Operating OfďŹ cer, Norm Fraser, to inquire about what was occurring and what would be done to address the situation.

Feedback acquired at the March 18 event will be used to update the plan and ensure it continues to meet the current and longterm needs of Ottawa’s older adults, including access to essential supports, programs and services. The updated plan will go to both the Community and Protective Services Committee and Council for approval later in 2015.

cash, taking our order and Bobbi was behind her, making our sandwiches, when this lady pushed her way between June and me and said “I want to pay for their lunch.” A looked at her and asked “Why?” She told us that a couple of days before, she had been in Brown’s Your Independent Grocer next door and went to pay for her groceries but found she had left her money at home. A gentleman in line behind her stepped up and paid her bill. He said “No problem” and walked away. This fine lady wanted to return the favour for somebody else and June and I were the happy recipients. The lunch tasted twice as yummy and we really enjoyed this free lunch. Thanks again, Mrs. Lahey. You’re a good lady and June said we will return the favour to somebody else.”….

Comeback for Stittsville Rams! John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - They’re the comeback kids! The Stittsville Rams not only came back in their Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League opening round playoff series against the Arnprior Packers but also came back in last Sunday’s seventh and deciding game, scoring the game and series winning goal at the 18:03 mark of the second overtime period. The Rams went into the weekend trailing three games to two in the best of seven opening round playoff series. But a 4-2 win in Arnprior on Friday night set up the deciding game at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Sunday afternoon. Playing before a packed arena, the Rams fell behind to Arnprior 1-0 in the first period. A goal by Connor Cobbold assisted by Mitch Kerwin and Riley McGuire early in the second period tied up the game but then the visiting Arnprior Packers struck for two goals within four minutes midway in the period to take a 3-1 lead going into the third period. The Rams needed a comeback or else their season was over. And this is just what they got as first Mike DiBello, assisted by Scott Gervais and Shane Hiley, scored at the 4:22 mark and then, less than four minutes later, Shane Hiley scored to tie up the game 3-3, with Cole Carter and Riley McGuire assisting.

This took the game to overtime with no scoring happening in the first overtime period. It was not until the second overtime period that Mitch Kerwin scored for the Rams, assisted by Connor Cobbold and Jordan Boutillier, giving the Rams a 4-3 victory in the game as well as a four games to three games win in the series. The Rams peppered 51 shots at the Arnprior net in this game while Arnprior had 32 shots at Rams goalie Matt Couvrette. Now it’s off to face the Renfrew Timberwolves in the next playoff series, with the opening games of the series to be played on Tuesday and Friday of this week, both in Renfrew. The series will then shift to Stittsville for the third game of the series this coming Sunday, March 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road. In the game in Arnprior last Friday, Neil Penner, Talmadge Farnes, Shane Hiley and Connor Cobbold scored for the Rams in the 4-2 win. Picking up assists for the Rams were Shane Hiley, Riley McGuire, Cole Carter, Mike DiBello, Neil Penner and Scott Gervais. The Rams led 2-0 after the opening period but the Arnprior Packers came back with two goals early in the second period to tie up the game 2-2. The teams entered the third period all tied up 2-2 but the Rams struck for two goals by the 4:14 mark to earn the 4-2 victory. The Rams had 37 shots on the Arnprior goal in this game while Arnprior had 28 shots on Rams goalie Matt Couvrette.

Stittsville is Hockeyville - We have Johnny Leroux John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - If you want to know why Stittsville should be Kraft Hockeyville 2015, you don’t have to look beyond the person of Johnny Leroux. The Stittsville District Community Centre not only bears his name as testimony to his lifetime of involvement in hockey in Stittsville but also, even today at the age of 83, he is a familiar sight around the arena. Indeed, he spent the night of his 83rd birthday last Oct. 22 at the arena, just like he does every Wednesday and Thursday night during the hockey season, serving

Bri Bri

as the timekeeper and scorekeeper for the Stittsville Town League, a six-team adult recreational hockey league. This is only the most recent example of Johnny’s love of hockey, a love which began in his youth and has carried on throughout his life. When he was ten, one of a family of 13 in his birthplace of Pembroke, ON, Johnny was a stick boy for the Pembroke Senior Lumber Kings. He then played his first organized hockey when he was 11 years old, winning the Pembroke school peewee championship. When he was 15, he played with the Junior Lumber Kings. He joined the army when he was 18 years

old but continued to play hockey in the service. After leaving the army including service in the Korean War, Johnny ended up in Stittsville in 1964, beginning what is now over 50 years of involvement with hockey and sports in the community. A chef by trade, his first involvement with the Stittsville District Community Centre was catering two so-called Sportsmen’s Dinners which were major fundraisers in the community’s fundraising campaign for the facility. Little would he know at that time in the early 1970’s that two decades later, in 1992, the ice slab at that very arena would be the

HEARING CARE

site of a gala dinner in his honour, with 600 in attendance. The community was saying thank you to him for his involvement in community sports over the years - years when he became a beloved household name because he was always there – at the arena, at the ball diamond – you name it and if there were sports involved, Johnny was there. For years, Johnny refereed for the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association, starting in 1972 and carrying on until 1999 when he stopped, not because he no longer could do it but, because of other sporting commitments. He also has refereed men’s hockey over the years, stopping only when he reached the age of 73. Johnny started to coach local minor hockey teams in 1972, continuing for 14 years. But it has really been in oldtimers hockey where Johnny has made his lasting mark. Indeed, he could rightly be called the Father of Oldtimers Hockey in Stittsville. He was the founder of the Stittsville Merchant Selects who hosted age 35 and age 40 and over hockey tournaments, eventually expanding to the age 50 and age 60 and over categories. They not only hosted these tournaments in Stittsville throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s but participated in national tournaments and even international ones like the Can-Am Tournament in Lake Placid. Johnny himself initially played in the age 40 and over division and in 1987, along with friend Jim Mills, he formed an age 50 and over team which won the Merchant Selects Tournament. Johnny had started playing hockey with a Stittsville team when first moving to the community in 1964, playing in the Stittsville Town League at the Bell Arena at Bells Corners since Stittsville did not have its own arena at that time. When the Stittsville District Community Centre, now the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, opened in 1971, he helped re-start the Stittsville Town League after it had become dormant. In 1978, Johnny started an age 30 and over league in Stittsville, playing and coaching for nine years while also doing some refereeing. He then went on to play for the Stittsville Merchant Selects, eventually spending almost 20 years with various Merchant Select teams from age 35 and over right up to age 50 and over. Johnny’s oldtimer hockey teams were particularly successful in the Can-Am Tournaments in Lake Placid. In a period from 1988 to 1994, various Stittsville teams won 13 gold medals as well as other silver and bronze ones in these tournaments. Johnny was the coach for these teams. As a veteran and member of the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion, Johnny combined his love of sports with his Legion involvement, spending 14 years as chair of minor sports for the Branch. He inaugurated the Branch’s annual poppy blitz of the community in which members of minor hockey teams blitz the community for the Legion at poppy time. This has helped expose the young players to the concept of Remembrance, getting them involved as they wear their team jerseys on blitz day. The city of Ottawa formally recognized Johnny’s involvement in the sports life of the Stittsville community, especially hockey, by naming the former Stittsville District Community Centre as the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena in a ceremony that took place in 2011. Widespread community support for this tribute to Johnny not only facilitated this municipal naming process but also was very much in evidence at the well-attended naming ceremony at the arena presided over by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. Over the years, Johnny has worked with countless others in helping provide hockey experiences to both the young and not-so-young in the Stittsville community. He is a leading example of this dedication and love of hockey which pervades through the community but there are so, so many others. See JOHHNY LEROUX, page 29

Johnny Leroux lives here - it must be Hockeyville! Continued from page 28

It is this widespread and total commitment to providing hockey opportunities in the community not only for boys but now also for girls thanks to the ground breaking efforts of Cathy Bureau in forming the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association that makes Stittsville an ideal candidate to be Kraft Hockeyville 2015. The campaign for Stittsville to advance in the Kraft Hockeyville 2015 competition continues. This is an annual national competition aimed at identifying the Canadian community that best exemplifies Canada’s passion for hockey. What is the focus at present is mobilizing the Stittsville community in showing support for this nomination, so that when the top ten final-

ists in the competition are announced on Saturday, March 14, Stittsville will be one of the select ten. After that, it will be an online voting situation from March 21 to March 23 leading to selection of this year’s two finalists. This will mean more online voting for the two selected communities, with the overall Kraft Hockeyville 2015 winner announced on Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday, April 4. So, there’s a long way to go but the first step is to make the top ten finalists, five of which are to be in Eastern Canada. And how can this be done? Well, visit the webpage http://www.khv2015. ca/en/nominations/profile/stittsville-districtcommunity-centre-1/. And then, from there, post your support to Facebook, Twitter or Ins-

tagram. Use the custom hashtag #khv_stittsvilleramshockey when posting on Twister or Instagram. You can upload photos or leave comments on the nomination page. Every posting helps a community get to the top ten stage. The idea is to provide postings that demonstrate Stittsville’s hockey spirit and pride and the community’s dedication and passion for hockey. That’s because the ten finalists that are to be announced on Saturday, March 14 are going to be judged on the following four criteria: Depiction of the nominated community’s passion for hockey and dedication to supporting the sport (30 percent); Examples of actions/events that demonstrate the nominated community’s spirit and pride (30 percent); Description of how prize money would impact the nominated community and the proposed project (30 percent); and Creativity and overall effort pertaining to the nominated entry (10 percent). And just what is Stittsville in store for if it becomes Kraft Hockeyville 2015? The grand prize winning community will received a trophy and the title of “Kraft Hockeyville 2015”; the winning community will have the opportunity to host a National Hockey League (NHL) pre-season game; the winning community will receive $100,000 to upgrade its arena; and the winning community will be featured on a television broadcast related to the

NHL pre-season game in the fall of 2015. Making it to the top ten finalists in the competition, to be announced on Saturday, March 14, assures the community of receiving at least $25,000 in arena upgrades. The two communities which top the online voting involving these top ten finalists will then go head-to-head in more online voting from March 28-March 30. The winning community will host the NHL preseason game and receive $100,000 in arena upgrades. The losing or second place community in this final online voting will receive $100,000 in arena upgrades. Kraft Hockeyville 2015 is presented by Kraft Canada Inc., NHL Enterprises Canada L.P. and the National Hockey League Players Association, with the goal of identifying the Canadian community which stands above all others in exemplifying Canada’s passion for hockey. Kraft Hockeyville is an annual competition that was first held across Canada in 2006. The winning communities over the years have been Salmon River, N.S. in 2006, North Bay, ON in 2007; Village sur Glace de Roberval, Quebec in 2008; Terrace, B.C. in 2009; Dundas, ON in 2010; Conception Bay, NL in 2011; StirlingRawdon, ON in 2012; No winner in 2013 due to NHL lockout; and Sylvan Lake, AB in 2014. In 2014, Richmond was one of the top 16 finalists and received $25,000 for upgrades to the Richmond Memorial Community Centre.

Lots of fun at Gerry Pingitore appointed as fire chief winter carnival held in Munster Jessica Cunha

Special to the News

News - The annual Munster winter carnival on Friday, Feb. 20 and Saturday, Feb. 21 could just as easily have been called the Munster fun carnival, because that’s was happened at it – everyone had a lot of fun! Sure, winter was very much in evidence with frigid temperatures on the Friday evening and blizzard-like conditions on Saturday afternoon but despite this, fun was held by all. The kids’ movie night on Friday evening was packed, with the Munster United Church’s youth group making sure the kids were entertained and fed throughout the evening. Thanks to the generosity of Balmoral Insurance, volunteers in the canteen at the Munster Community Centre provided a steady stream of hot chocolate and cider to the skaters who packed the rink that evening and also those who gathered around the roaring bonfire. Music provided by Jack FM brought a carnival atmosphere to the evening activities. And many enjoyed pizza and hot dogs donated by King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond. The hall at the Munster United Church was busy on Saturday morning for the annual pancake breakfast. The morning hockey tournament at the rink attracted a number of teams and spectators. Thanks to prizes donated by the Ottawa Senators, everyone went away with a memento reminding them of this fun experience. Despite snowy conditions in the afternoon, the kids’ zone at the Munster Elementary School was another mecca of fun. Dozens of volunteers helped run the games, supervise the pay areas, paint faces, supervise the crafts and look after the bouncy castle provided by the city of Ottawa. Meera Mukerjee gave hip hop instruction, always a popular attraction, while Brad the Balloon Guy amused many with his fantastic balloon creations. The Munster Co-operative Nursery School’s bake sale provided sweet treats. Thanks to the generosity of Danby’s Pub, Saunders Farm, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt and Mac’s, there was an array of prizes that were won by happy recipients. In the evening, Enbridge served up a BBQ in support of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The rink was open for skating and another bonfire proved popular with many, with Fisher Enterprises having set up some unique benches around the fire. All in all, what a fun-filled way to celebrate winter and (hopefully) welcome the coming of spring.

News – Ottawa’s newly appointed fire chief Gerry Pingitore assumes the position with close to four decades of firefighting experience, having risen through the ranks as both a volunteer and career firefighter. Pingitore first severed at a fire station in west Montreal before he was hired as a Nepean firefighter when the Barrhaven station was built in 1979. He then became a volunteer firefighter as well in Carp after helping

a colleague build a house at Corkery. “I fell in love with West Carleton,” he says, adding that he and his wife then bought property and built their own home in the area. He wanted to contribute to the community and so he became a volunteer firefighter as well as carrying on his career as a career firefighter. When the city of Ottawa was formed in 2001, Pingitore became the west district fire chief in West Carleton, a position that he held until 2011. He was then appointed the assistant deputy chief for dispatch and

communications and management of the fleet. A year later, he became deputy chief of urban, rural and special operations. “I certainly got to experience a multitude of assignments,” he said. I thought I had reached the height of my career when I became the deputy chief of operations.” Pingitore has been a familiar face at the 9RunRun Emergency Services Run in Stittsville each fall. He has represented the Ottawa Fire Services in the Chiefs’ Chili Cookoff at the event, with his recipe winning the competition such as in 2012.

CREDITOR-PROOFING A SMALL BUSINESS CORPRATION My husband and I are the sole shareholders and directors of an incorporated retail business. We have been quite successful and are generating cash excess to business requirements. We do not want to pay the cash out to ourselves now, and pay high rates of tax, but at the same time this cash is a significant part of a retirement fund. We have no creditors, other than trade creditors payable in the ordinary course. How do we protect this cash for our retirement? You are asking a good question. In the event of an unexpected economic downturn or legal claim against your active business corporation, the excess cash generated in the business could be exposed to potential creditors. Once the liability is crystalized, it may be too late to take action that will protect the cash. You have also correctly identified that the simplest solution –payment of the cash out to yourselves – attracts undesirable tax consequences.

Robert Allan obtained his Bachelor of Commerce Degree (Honours) from Carleton University in 1983. He was awarded his law degree from Osgoode Hall in 1986 and was called to the bar in 1988. With his 25 years of experience Robert’s approach is simple and direct: Get it done right and deliver value that exceeds the price of the service. His primary focus is business enablement and transactions, and wealth preservation.

A cost efficient solution is the creation of a holding corporation. The holding corporation structure, when designed properly, allows excess money from your active business corporation to be paid by dividend to the holding corporation, tax free. The holding corporation is a separate legal entity, and is generally insulated from claims against your active business corporation. Care is required that the desired tax treatment is achieved in the structuring of the holding corporation. There are other financial planning considerations, such as ensuring the availability of the lifetime capital gains exemption, which must be addressed by the new structure. This type of corporate structuring may also be implemented as part of a broader strategy for business succession and included as part of your estate planning. Talk to us about your business needs.

SC Storm are champs! John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Sports - It was a championship final par excellence. The two teams in the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association (NCSSAA) senior boys basketball (tier 1) final game on Wednesday, Feb. 25 were never more than six points apart throughout the see-saw game which saw the home-court South Carleton High School Storm edge out to a four point half time lead before seeing the visiting Ecole Beatrice-Desloges squad rally in the third period to go ahead by five points before everything was tied up 61-61 going into the final period. The teams traded baskets in this fourth period before South Carleton tied it up 75-75 and then edged ahead, eventually winning by a score of 83-78 and capturing the championship trophy and associated gold medals. It was a game which pitted the deadly outside shooting of the SC Storm against the hard inside driving of the Beatrice-Desloges team. With the stands at the gymnasium at South Carleton filled with fans, the first period was a close affair, with South Carleton leading 18-17 going into the second period. The Storm edged ahead, leading by five points 27-22 after two minutes and 15 seconds of play and finishing up with a 42-38 lead at half time. In the second half, the Beatrice-Desloges squad had the game tied up 49-49 after just over three minutes of play and had a 57-52 lead with about two and a half minutes go to in the period before the Storm rallied. The score was tied 61-61 at the end of the third period. This set up the nail-biting final period which saw Beatrice-Desloges ahead by 73-72 with just under three

minutes to play. A three-pointer by the Storm’s Adam Whitmore tied up the game 75-75 and then the Storm’s Jadyn Flanders sunk another three-pointer to give the Storm a 78-75 lead. Beatrice-Desloges fought back and it was 78-77 for South Carleton with only 42 seconds to play when Daniel Byron of the Storm sunk two foul shots to give the Storm a three point advantage, 80-77. Players at both benches were standing up, intent on the play, while the crowd roared as the clock ticked down. With 32 seconds to go, Beatrice-Desloges edged one point closer, 80-78, thanks to a foul shot. But seconds later, Jadyn Flanders of the Storm sunk two foul shots, making it 82-78 for the home team, and then the Storm’s Adam Whitmore added another point from a foul shot as the clock ran out with the Storm winning by an 83-78 score. The Storm were the NCSSAA senior boys tier 1 champions! After the teams shook hands at centre court, the silver medals were presented to the Beatrice-Desloges squad, followed by the presentation of the championship trophy to Storm captains Daniel Byron and Jayden Flanders, after which the gold medals were presented to the Storm players, with the championship trophy moving along the line of players as they received their gold medals. After a team photograph with the championship trophy, the Storm players located a ladder and one after another, the players one by one climbed up and each player cut a personal piece off the webbing of the net through which their winning shots passed in the second half of the game. Members of this championship South Carleton High School team are Jadyn Flanders, Aaron Clausen, Quinn Stewart, Evan John, Chad McCausland, Sheridan Kotuba, Jake Linnen,

Byron Hermann takes over as music director Special to the News

Try Something Fresh.

News - The search is over! The Goulbourn Male Chorus has a new music director. Byron Hermann has been appointed as the new music director for the Goulbourn Male Chorus, succeeding the group’s founding music director Robert Dueck who resigned from the position after almost five years following the group’s Christmas concert. The Goulbourn Male Chorus assigned the search and hiring process for a new music director in the hands of its Artistic Committee which, through contacts, word of mouth and advertisements got to the word out to the area’s choral community. In the end, five talented candidates were interviewed and auditioned during January. The end result is that Byron Hermann has been appointed as the group’s new music director. Mr. Hermann is from Calabogie where he and his wife run a bed and breakfast and a restaurant. He has Masters degrees in Music and Education with honours in theory and composition. He also has over 30 years of teaching and producing music experience both in Canada and during a ten year period in Taipei in Taiwan.

He is also the current music director of the choir at Grace St. Andrew’s United Church in Arnprior. “It was a very difficult decision for our search committee because there were several well qualified and extremely talented candidates who responded to this opportunity to direct an all-male chorus,� said Ian Glen, vice-president of the Goulbourn Male Chorus and chair of the search committee. “We were amazed at the talent that is in this area,� he pointed out. “Byron seemed to ‘fit’ really well with the chorus during the audition stage, and his experience in other areas such as arranging and composition and in fundraising will be of great value to the chorus.� Mr. Hermann has already started working with the Goulbourn Male Chorus which is rehearsing on Tuesdays evenings at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road in West Carleton. The Goulbourn Male Chorus expects to present its annual spring concert as planned. New members are always welcome in the Goulbourn Male Chorus. Anyone interested in joining the Chorus is urged to drop in at the Tuesday rehearsals which start at 7 p.m. or to visit the group’s website at www.Goulbournmalechorus.com.

Fastball League adds team Sports - And then there were eight! The Greater Ottawa Fastball League has added an eighth team to the league for the upcoming 2015 season, joining the existing seven teams in the league including the Stittsville 56ers. The new team, named the Ottawa Valley A’s, will play its home games mainly at Carp, with some possible homes games in Pakenham and McNab township. Besides the Stittsville 56ers, who play their home games at Alexander Grove in Stittsville, and this new Ottawa Valley A’s team, other teams in the Greater Ottawa Fastball League are Fitzroy Harbour West Carleton Electric, Quyon Flyers, Micksburg Twins, Kanata Pirates (playing out of Carp), 14C Victory (playing out of Manotick) and Kars Aces (also playing out of Manotick).

The regular season for the Greater Ottawa Fastball League will get underway this coming season during the week of May 11. The Greater Ottawa Fastball League is the top league for men’s fast pitch softball in Eastern Ontario and western Quebec.

against Kyle Gourgon. He frightens me. You never know what he’s going to do; he skates like a young Guy Lafleur minus the flowing hair; has a wicked shot; he gets it off quickly and he’ll shoot from almost anywhere. He keeps you on your toes and he creates a lot of space and opens up ice for his teammates. He’s one of those guys who makes everyone he plays with better. 8-In your opinion, what team in the Town League is the most difficult to play against and why?: There’s a few teams, actually. It’s a good league and anyone can beat anyone. For me, though, Steve McJa-

inches tall and catches with his left hand. 4-How long have you been playing goal?: I’ve been playing goalie since I was eight years old. 5-How long have you been playing in the Stittsville Town League?: This is my second year. 6-Why do you like to play goal?: I’ve always liked the pressure, I get a rush out of it and I’m too weird to be a forward or defenseman, so being a goalie is a natural fit. 7-In your opinion, who is the most dangerous goal scorer in the Stittsville Town League and why?: I’d prefer not to play

net’s team is hard to play against. They have some skilled players who are tough to read and they get guys to the net to make it hard for goalies to see pucks. 9-Who is your favourite NHL goalie (past or present) and why?: I was a big fan of Felix Potvin when I was growing up, mostly because I’m a Leafs fan. However, now I like Carey Price. He never gets rattled and is always in position. Best goalie in hockey by far. 10-Name one thing that your teammates don’t know about you: I like the show ‘Pretty Little Liars.” Judge me!

MARY COOK Brother Cecil Mary Cook’s Memories

lemma caused me to ponder for hours at a time. And I took to looking closely at Marguerite to see if I could glimpse any tell-tale sign that she in fact did have on a woolsey-gansey. The whole issue came to a head one winter day. Marguerite had few friends at the Northcote School. Her uppity attitude did little to endear her to any one of us. Cecil considered it his personal mission in life to bring to Marguerite as much misery as possible. Ever since the day she told him he was a freak because he could move his ears up and down, Cecil spent much of his time plotting revenge. And Cecil was scared of nothing. He respected Miss Crosby our teacher, but even her severest reprimand made little impact on the young farm boy who stood close to six feet tall at 11 years of age. The day he caused near havoc in the Northcote School was bitterly cold. Miss Crosby had ordered us all into the basement at recess, and we were to be on our best behaviour. That meant little to Cecil. He chased the girls around the posts that held up the floor, and hid behind the wood pile to emerge when the meekest of us were within grabbing distance. I saw him head for the darkest corner of the basement. He was sneaking around quietly as

blouse from her shoulders. I saw something far more interesting than the mouse that scurried quickly to the nearest hole in the baseboard. There for all to see was a woolsey-gansey exactly like the one I had on that very minute. It probably had come from Eaton’s catalogue just as mine had. Even though Marguerite was still hysterical and Miss Crosby had gone into the basement to seek out the criminal who had done what she called a “dastardly” act, I walked over to my nemesis and ran my finger around the neck of her undergarment. “Aren’t those woolsey-ganseys the most hateful things?” I asked, my voice dripping like sugar. Marguerite would be in a gansey for some time to come, just like the rest of us young girls at the Northcote School.

Happenings at Richmond Legion

R0013096502-0122

Lifestyle - The only thing I could tolerate about the woolsey-gansey was the name. At that time in my young life I was attracted to double names and would dearly loved to have been called by both of mine, just like Princess Margaret Rose. And so the only redeeming feature of the woolsey-gansey in my estimation was its double name. The woolsey-gansey was an atrocious undershirt that all young girls were forced to wear until they were old enough to wear more feminine underwear. And back in the 1930’s it was a mark of maturity when you graduated from wearing the woolsey-gansey. In the winter time, this most hated of all undergarments had short sleeves, which scratched like blue fury. And although it was the least of my concerns because I was so young, the older girls at the Northcote School vowed it took away any shape they might have. In the summer time, the woolsey-gansey became simply a gansey. It was made of sheer dimity material, but I hated it just as passionately. Marguerite, my rival at the Northcote School, vowed she never had to wear a woolsey-gansey, so I couldn’t imagine what she wore under her blouses and sweaters. For a long time this di-

and mouse answer question

if he was hiding from someone. He made a pounce behind the woodpile. When he came out his hands were thrust deep in his pocket and he wore that look on his face that told me we were all to be in for a surprise. He walked ever so slowly up behind Marguerite. Then like chain lightning, he locked one arm around under her chin and thrust the other down the back of her blouse. In his hand I could see a squawking and very agitated field mouse. It was nothing to see any number of mice seeking shelter in the basement of the Northcote School, which didn’t make it the most pleasant place to be, even on a cold winter’s day.   Well, what a commotion Cecil caused. Marguerite made a beeline for the stairs and most of us were right behind her. Within seconds Miss Crosby assessed the situation, and ripped the

Sweet concert love tunes followed by sweet treats Special to the News

News - It’s going to be a doubleheader of sweetness – sweet concert love tunes followed by sweet treats. That’s what the spring concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be offering when it happens on Saturday, April 25 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata. Entitled “Sweet Serenade – A Dessert Musicale,” the concert will feature 75 minutes of uninterrupted music followed by a refreshment time of sweet goodies provided by the Chorus members. For this concert, West Ottawa Ladies Chorus director Robert Dueck of Stittsville has chosen a varied selection of songs that includes love songs, musical favourites, concert pieces, opera songs and fun, jazzy numbers. There will also be a couple of audience sing-alongs as has become the tradition at West Ottawa Ladies Chorus concerts. Among the variety of songs to be performed at the concert will be “Sunrise/Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof (1971) to “Chapel of Love” by the Dixie Cups of the 1940’s to “Sugartime” by the McGuire Sisters in 1962 to “The Man I Love” by George Gershwin in 1924 to the “Echo Song” that was published in 1581 to “Edelweiss” from the Sound of Music in 1954 plus lots more.

And all of these songs will be delivered by the well-rehearsed voices of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. The Ladies Chorus members, nearly 40 in number, are now rehearsing for this annual spring concert, attending practice sessions directed by Robert Dueck despite the wintry weather of late. And while director Robert Dueck is a demanding and exacting leader, he is also quick with praise and laughter frequently breaks out. Practice sessions are lots of fun. Just ask Barbara Sommerville, a new member of the Ladies Chorus. “I had no idea I would have so much fun working this hard,” she says. “It’s so gratifying to have fun while achieving something worthwhile.” The spring concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus will be presented on Saturday, April 25 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata, just north of Hazeldean Road. Tickets, which are $15 per person (adult), will be on sale as of Monday, March 16 at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville as well as at the Kanata Barber Shop at 2 Beaverbrook Road in Kanata and at Robin’s Nest at 98 Mill Street in Almonte.

Gaelic Ireland. After six years there, he escaped to return home, becoming a priest. He returned to Ireland to convert the pagan Irish to Christianity. He converted thousands with tradition holding that he used the shamrock, a three-leaved plant, to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity to the pagan Irish. The shamrock is now associated with St. Patrick’s Day, as is the “wearing of the green.� The colour green has been associated with Ireland since at least the 1640’s when the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the colour green and its association with St. Patrick’s Day grew. St. Clare’s parish hall is located beside St. Clare’s Catholic Church on Dwyer Hill Road south of Franktown Road in Goulbourn. Take Franktown Road west from Richmond, passing the Munster Sideroad until arriving at the flashing light/four-way stop at Franktown Road and Dwyer Hill Road. Then take Dwyer Hill Road south to St. Clare’s.
