Erica Wiebe to begin preparations for Olympics Continued from page 1
After this Pan-American Olympic Qualifier in Texas, Erica and her team mates travelled to New Orleans for a couple of days of strategic planning meetings before heading back to Calgary where they will begin their preparations for the Olympics. Erica, a Sacred Heart High School graduate, won her freestyle women’s 75 kg weight class in the Canadian wrestling team Olympic trials before Christmas which earned her the right to attend the Pan-American Olympic Qualifier in Texas. Representing Canada at the Olympic Games is the culmination of eight years of working towards this goal by Erica. It all started for Erica, now 26 years old, who grew up in Stittsville, when she was in grade nine at Sacred Heart High School. Up until then, soccer had been her sport
but then she saw a sign for co-ed wrestling and she became hooked on the sport of wrestling. The dream of excelling in the sport meant that Erica moved to Calgary to pursue a degree in kinesiology and wrestle for the University of Calgary Dinos while continuing to strive to be a member of Team Canada and wrestle for Canada at the Olympics. When she arrived at the University of Calgary in the fall of 2007 after having graduated from Sacred Heart, she was asked to train with the senior women’s team that was gearing up for the 2008 Olympic Trials. Over the ensuing months, she was exposed to a new level of intensity in wrestling and she learned a lot. She herself did not have the opportunity to attend the Olympic Trials. Four years later, in the fall of 2011, Erica was finishing up her degree in kinesiology and was looking

BATHROOMS
forward to her chance to represent Canada at the Olympic Games in 2012. She was ranked fourth in Canada going into the Olympic Trials. However, although she did not qualify for Team Canada in these Olympic Trials that year, she was selected as a training partner and so she attended the Olympics in London in this capacity, getting to soak up the Olympic experience, knowing that she would have the opportunity again in four years to compete in the Olympics. Erica has experienced success on the international level. She is the 2014 Commonwealth Games champion as well as the 2014 FISU University World champion. She is also a six time Canadian National Champion and a three time CIS National Champion. Erica has had quite a string of gold medal performances this year. She won at the Ivan Yarygin Memorial International event in Russia in January; she won at the Klippan Lady Open in Sweden in February; she won at the Grand Prix of Germany in Germany in May; she won at the Canada Cup in Guelph in June; she won at the Grand Prix of Spain in Spain in July; she won at the Simon Fraser International in Vancouver in October; and she won at the New York Athletic Club International in new York City in November. She also was a silver medallist at an Olympia Tournament in Greece in May.

Following her gold medal performance at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland in July, 2014, Erica placed tenth at the World Championships in Uzbekistan in Sept. 2014 and was a silver medal recipient at the Brazil Cup in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil in Dec. 2014. Besides being a full time athlete, Erica is also finishing up her second degree at the University of Calgary. She is also an ambassador for Fast & Female and Right To Play and also volunteers at various levels of wrestling. Erica was the women’s coach of the Calgary Area Zone 3 team youth team which won gold at the Alberta Winter Games. Erica also participates in the YES Program which stands for Youth Education through Sport. It is a partnership involving the Canadian Sport Institute Calgary and Encana that develops athletes as community leaders. Participants speak to grade four to six students in Alberta about the positive impact of sport. At the Sacred Heart High School graduation ceremony in June 2007, Erica received The Play It Again Sports Graduate Athlete of the Year Award.

Sacred Heart Huskies are champs! John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Tuesday, March 1 was Super Tuesday in the American election primary season and it also turned out to be Super Tuesday for the Sacred Heart High School boys hockey team. It was on Tuesday, March 1 that the Sacred Heart High School Huskies won the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Association (NCSSAA) boys hockey AAA championship with a 3-1 victory over the Mother Teresa High School Titans in the third and deciding game of the best-of-three championship series between the two teams. This NCSSAA championship earned the Huskies a trip to the provincial high school championships in Windsor this week (March 7-10). This was the Huskies fourth NCSSAA boys hockey championship in the past five years. Indeed, it was a rebound year for the Huskies as after three straight NCSSAA championships (20122014), the Huskies had lost in the playoffs last year after finishing first in the regular season. But this year the Huskies came back and recaptured the NCSSAA championship. This high school boys hockey (AAA) championship series between the Huskies and the Mother Teresa Titans went right down to the wire. Sacred Heart High School and Mother Teresa High School split the first two games of the best-of-three championship final series, setting up the decisive third and final game on Super Tuesday, March 1 at the Nepean Sportsplex in Nepean. It was on Wednesday, Feb. 24 that this championship final series opened with Mother Teresa defeating Sacred Heart 3-2. However, on Thursday, Feb. 25 in the second game of the series at the Matt Bradley Arena at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, the Sacred Heart Huskies battled back with a 4-3 victory over Mother Teresa to tie up the series at one game apiece and set the stage for the deciding third game of the series. In this Thursday, Feb. 25 game, Mother Teresa pulled its goalie with just under a minute left to play and despite some furious play around the Sacred Heart net, no goal was scored and Sacred Heart skated off with the 4-3 victory. In the decisive game on Super Tuesday, March 1, Sacred Heart opened the scoring at the 9:23 mark of the first period, taking a 1-0 lead. However, it was a short-lived lead as Mother Teresa came back less than a minute later to tie up the game at 1-1. The first period ended in this 1-1 tie although the Huskies did manage to avoid a mini-disaster when Mother Teresa appeared to score a go-ahead goal at the 5:01 mark of the period when a long shot from beyond the Huskies’ blueline found the back of the net. However, it was ruled no goal because a Mother Teresa player was offside. After a scoreless second period, the teams entered the third period knowing that the season had come down to this one final period of play. At the 10:05 mark of the period, Sacred Heart scored to take a 2-1 lead. This became a 3-1 lead with 6:31 to go in the period when the Huskies scored again. This is how the game ended, 3-1 for the Huskies, making the team NCSSAA champions again. The Huskies littered the rink with their gloves, sticks and helmets as the players gathered in a celebratory group hug on the ice after the game’s final buzzer sounded. This was followed by the presentation of gold medals to the players as well as the presentation of the championship trophy. It indeed was a Super Tuesday
for the Huskies! This NCSSAA championship victory earned the Huskies the right to travel to the 16-team provincial high school (OFSAA) championship tournament in Windsor this week. In the regular season this year, the Huskies finished second in the nineteam OFSAA Division with a record of six wins, two losses and two ties. The Huskies scored 49 goals in these ten regular season games, the most goals scored by any team in the Division. The Huskies allowed 28 goals in its ten regular season games, the third best record in the nine-team OFSAA Division. The Mother Teresa High School Titans, whom the Huskies defeated in the championship series, finished in first place in the regular season in the OFSAA Division with a record of seven wins, two losses and one tie. During the regular season, the Huskies lost 4-2 to Mother Teresa last November and then tied Mother Teresa 3-3 in a February regular season game. Members of the Sacred Heart Huskies championship team are Jake Saunders, Drew Massicotte, Cole Timchuk, Chris Walsh, Dylan Gervais, Jacob Ley, Dawson Kita, Nick Kidd, Keenan Opie, Adam Girardi, Brett Ellis, Ben Harford, Dante Papaglia, Cameron McCleary, Ryan Jones, Jackson Goudie and Fraser Auchterlonie. The team is coached by Mike McCurdy and Ryan McCloskey.

We share the city with a nation
F
or decades the people of Ottawa – if not all of Canada – have dealt with a form of taxation without representation. The National Capital Commission bills its responsibility as making the capital “a dynamic and inspiring source of pride for all Canadians, and a legacy for generations to come.� It’s a lofty goal, paid for by all Canadians. The decisions of the NCC board may often puzzle the locals, but without the NCC, Ottawa would be planned from a purely municipal outlook, when it certainly deserves a greater world view. This is the capital city for all Canadians. Unfortunately, the NCC has had to deal with federal governments that also believe in political interference, governments that have considered short-term political expediency the trump card, forgetting the “legacy for generations to come� part that is a function of taking a long-term view. Big plans and big budgets can draw our focus to the short term; we want what we
want, and we want it now. Those big plans and budgets also make politicians – who must keep their eyes on getting re-elected – over-excited, ready to build themselves a legacy. Every decision made by the NCC should be taken with the long-term implications as its primary focus. We are all here on a temporary basis. With a clean slate, the Trudeau government has set new and welcome parameters for the NCC. That doesn’t mean there will be no political interference, but it has already delivered some good news. Someone in the federal government has realized that the NCC’s physical jurisdiction actually overlaps that of local governments in two provinces. The mayors of Ottawa and Gatineau are now non-voting members of the NCC board of directors. That this is a new situation, when the NCC has been around since 1959, is shocking. But what’s done is done. Bring on the clean slate.

t is almost comical, the disputes we get into over how to protect ourselves from ourselves. Many difficult situations, not to mention a lot of arguing, could be prevented if we just behaved better, but that is not our nature. Here are a couple of examples – noise bylaw enforcement and photo radar. In a perfect world we wouldn’t need them. But people drive too fast and people have parties and people who have parties have neighbours. In days gone by, this situation was dealt with by a combination of bylaw officers and police. But now there is talk of scaling back, with some residents fearing that no one will show up to ask

solution to another instance of people behaving badly. That’s the question of too-fast driving in residential areas. Photo radar has been proposed by an Ottawa city councillor and the debate has begun to rage. There are two issues really: effectiveness and civil liberties. The second is easier to deal with. While it is true that surveillance cameras, such as photo radar, intrude on our privacy, these would not be the first. In fact, cameras are trained on us in all sorts of public spaces. We may not have reached the Big Brother stage of say, London, where it is apparently difficult to move without being on camera. But we are getting there.

airport, not to mention the red light camera, why would we not accept one on the street where we live? If the civil liberties horse has left the barn, the question of effectiveness remains. Would photo radar work? It got good reviews when it was in effect in the early ’90s on Ontario highways, before it became politically expedient to end it. But how well could it work in neighbourhoods? You can see it working on major streets, where the buses run. But major streets are not what concerns parents. Major streets have stoplights and, in key areas, crossing guards. What worries a parent is his own quiet street which somebody uses, too fast, as a shortcut, or is just not paying attention. The driver doesn’t even have to be speeding to be a danger to children playing on that street; 50 km/h or even 40 is way too fast.

But can you put cameras on every street like that? Well, maybe you don’t need to, as long as drivers think the cameras might be there. The mere thought of cameras can act as a deterrent to would-be speeders. There are a lot of tricky details to work out, for sure, including the fact that cameras show cars, not people. But there’s no harm in trying.

Last week Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville revealed a wish for seven year old Luca, the 44th wish granted thanks to funding from Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” campaign in support of Make A Wish Eastern Ontario. He also was on hand at Olympia Gymnastics in Stittsville to accept a $1,500 donation for his campaign. And he also was a recent guest on Daytime Ottawa television with Dylan Black to promote an upcoming fundraiser for his “Mission To A Million.” So, it was a busy week for 15 year old Tysen. But this week is just as busy, with a trip to Toronto to receive an Ontario Junior Citizen Award in a ceremony officiated by the Hon. Elizabeth Dowdeswell, who is the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. And then later in the week, he will be at the March 13th fundraiser at Fatboys Restaurant in downtown Ottawa which he promoted in his recent appearance on Daytime Ottawa television. So, another busy week for Tysen. Luca, whose wish was number 44 granted by funding from Tysen’s “Mission To A Mil-
lion,” is a seven year old boy who suffered a serious brain injury in a car accident when he was two years old. The wish reveal involved the unveiling of a snoezelen room that was made for Luca in the basement of the family home. A snoezelen room provides a soothing and stimulating environment and therapy for those with brain injuries. It is a multi-sensory environment filled with lighting effects, shapes, textures, music, colours and more. Tysen visited Olympia Gymnastics on Iber Road in Stittsville to receive a $1,500 donation for his “Mission To A Million.” Olympia Gymnastics raised the funds with an event called “Tumbling for Tysen.” Tysen is one of 12 youth from across the province to receive the 2015 Ontario Junior Citizen Award. The award is being presented at a ceremony on Monday, March 7 in Toronto, officiated by the Hon. Elizabeth Dowdeswell who is the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. Tysen is one of the award recipients because of his fundraising efforts in support of Make A Wish Eastern Ontario, with over $400,000 raised to date as his “Mission To A Million” campaign moves towards its fiveyear, one million dollar goal.

Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the projects with the study teams and provide feedback.
Municipal Class Environmental Assessments (EA) These Municipal Class EA studies are being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act. Comments received will be collected under the Environmental Assessment Act and, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record. Chapman Mills Drive Extension and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m. The City of Ottawa has initiated the Chapman Mills Drive Extension (Longfields Drive to Strandherd Drive) and Bus Rapid Transit (Greenbank Road to west of Cedarview Road) EA Study to determine the most appropriate means to accommodate and manage increasing transportation infrastructure requirements around the Barrhaven Town Centre area. The EA study is being undertaken in accordance with Ontario’s Environmental Assessment Act, fulfilling requirements as a Municipal Class EA process for a Schedule ‘C’ project. At this third and final Open House, participants will have an opportunity to provide feedback on the Recommended Plan. Residents are encouraged to provide comments by April 4. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/chapmanmillsextension. Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design for the expansion and retrofit of the Kennedy-Burnett Stormwater Management Facility. The existing facility is an online wet pond that was constructed in 1976. The facility will be retrofitted to meet current City of Ottawa and Ministry of Environment and Climate Change stormwater treatment standards and expanded to meet the demands of the development of Nepean South. At the Open House, participants will learn of the preferred alternative for expanding and retrofitting the facility. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/kennedyburnett. Greenbank Road Watermain The City is conducting a Municipal Class EA and Functional Design Study for the Greenbank Road watermain between Jockvale Road and south of the Jock River. The study will determine the most appropriate alignment for a 610 millimetre diameter transmission watermain including methodology for crossing the Jock River. The watermain will improve water supply and reliability in the Nepean South development area. Planning and construction of the watermain will be coordinated with the approved widening and realignment of Greenbank Road. The study is carried out in accordance with the requirements of Phases 1 and 2 of the Municipal Class EA. For more information on the project, please visit ottawa.ca/greenbankwatermain.

Fundraiser for Tysen’s ‘Mission To A Million’ Continued from page 9
One million dollars would fund 100 wishes as a wish usually costs about $10,000. Tysen has Pfeiffer Syndrome Type 2, a rare genetic disorder that causes premature fusion of the skull and other bones in the body. He has undergone numerous surgeries since he was very young. Tysen had his own wish granted which was to meet his favourite actor, Adam Sandler. He was so impressed with Adam Sandler and the way that he gave back that Tysen decided to give back himself, launching his “Mission To A Million” so that other youth could also experience the granting of a wish, just like he
had. This coming Sunday, March 13, a fundraiser for Tysen’s “Mission To A Million” will be held at Fatboys Restaurant in downtown Ottawa. Tysen was on Daytime Ottawa television recently to promote this event which will include raffles and door prizes. Big Joe from the Ottawa RedBlacks will be in attendance. This fundraiser came about because Jaybian, another wish recipient, will be on a Disney Star Wars cruise when his birthday happens. That’s why his family decided to hold a big birthday party celebration early at Fatboys Restaurant, with the funds raised going to Tysen’s “Mission To A Million.”

Revised Notice of Completion Class Environmental Assessment Tri-Township Sanitary Sewer Collector Replacement In February 2001, the City of Ottawa completed a Schedule B Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to review sanitary sewer infrastructure upgrades for the West Urban Community area of Ottawa. In the 2001 Environmental Screening Report (ESR), the preferred alternative identified several projects which would increase the overall performance and capacity of the sanitary servicing for the West Urban Community. The ESR concluded that a new trunk sewer would be constructed to convey flow from the Kanata North area, and the existing Tri-Township Collector (TTC) sewer south of the railway line and the March Ridge Trunk (MRT) sewer would be relined and rehabilitated to extend their service life. More than 10 years have passed since completion of the 2001 EA and the condition of the TTC has deteriorated. A review of the original EA in the current planning context was undertaken to evaluate the rehabilitation of the TTC and the MRT. The TTC is currently at its maximum capacity and it is proposed to be replaced with a new larger diameter sewer to convey future projected flows for 2021 and 2060. A portion of the MRT will also be replaced and lowered to eliminate the existing siphon under Watts Creek. The EA Review has identified the preferred alignment for the TTC and MRT replacement sewers and confirmed that this revised solution does not present any new environmental implications as compared to the 2001 EA. By this Notice, the EA Review is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the EA Review are open for review.

Over 300 youth in Baden-Powell Funfest at Goulbourn Recreation Complex John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
It’s called a Funfest but this year it could have been called Snowfest as there was lots of snow on the ground thanks to a recent dump of snow. And what a difference a week made as this annual Baden-Powell Funfest of the 1st Stittsville Scouts had to be postponed just a week earlier because of the rainy weather conditions which prevailed on that initially scheduled day, Wednesday, Feb. 24. But on the re-scheduled evening, on Wednesday, March 2,
everything went ahead with over 300 youth involved with youth of the 1st Stittsville Scouts and Stittsville Guiding gathering at the soccer field at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road for an evening of outdoor games and activities. Over 70 adult leaders also were on hand for the event. Sparks, Beavers, Brownies, Cubs and younger Guides participated in the games that were set up around the field by the Scouts and Venturers. Senior Guides, Scouts, Pathfinders and Venturers were on hand to explain the games to
the participants and to run the games. After an opening ceremony at 6:30 p.m., it was “let the games begin” as teams of participants began their game rotation at an assigned starting game for each participating team. The teams then rotated sequentially through the various games each time a siren sounded. And what games! The games, which totalled 15, included River Banks, Snoccer, Jousting, Parachute, Sled Racing, Tug of War, Capture The Rubber Chicken, Broom Ball, Ski Race, Snodge
held around the date of their joint birthdays, Feb. 22. Ball and Freeze Tag. The 1st Stittsville Scouts is one of Canada’s largest Following the games, all of the Sparks, Beavers, Brownies, Scout groups, providing programs for youth aged 5 to Cubs, Guides, Scouts, Path- 17 years old. finders and Venturers got to enjoy hot chocolate and cookies. The hot chocolate was provided by the Scouts while the Guides provided the cookies. This annual Baden-Powell Funfest is held to provide a fun outdoor activity evening for youth involved with Stittsville’s Scouting and Guiding programs and also to honour the two founders of Scouting and Guiding, Lord and Lady Baden-Powell.

Four young men take action with smoke-filled house Special to the News
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
At the presentation of certificates of commendation and recognition to four young men who took action in an incident involving a smoke-filled house in Munster just before Christmas are, from left, Christopher Elliott-Davis, with son Jacob Elliott-Davis in front of him, Danny Ventura, Ryan Joynson, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt who presented the certificates, Ottawa Fire Service District Chief Todd Horricks, Jacob Davidson, Riley McCoy and Heather Elliott-Davis with daughters Hope Elliott-Davis in front of her on the left and Mackenzie Elliott-Davis in front of her on the right.
Four young men who helped prevent a fire tragedy in Munster have been honoured and thanked for their actions. The four – Ryan Joynson, Danny Ventura, Jacob Davidson and Riley McCoy – were walking along a street in Munster last Dec. 23 when they came across a situation requiring quick action. A homeowner returning home with her family had opened the door and found the house filled with smoke. That’s when the four young men took action. “These four young men risked their safety to help me and the three kids,” homeowner Heather Elliott-Davis has reported. A pot left on the stove since the afternoon was the cause of the smoke. The four young men opened windows in the smoke-filled house, turned on fans, took the pot outdoors and then waited with the family in the pouring rain until the firefighters arrived on scene. For doing the right thing and helping out in what could have been a tragic house fire, the four have been thanked not only by the family involved but also by city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt. In a recent brief ceremony, councillor Moffatt presented each of the four with a certificate of commendation and recognition for their actions that day. In addition, members of the family involved were on hand to offer their thanks to the four for helping out that day. Pots left unattended on stoves are one of the most frequent causes of house fires.

Councillor’s Column Keeping You Informed By Shad Qadri, Councillor Ward Six Stittsville City of Ottawa
March 8th 2016 Fairwinds West Park The neighborhood park being built in Fairwinds West and Poole Creek Village, Stittsville is being planned. The park is located at the corner of Rosehill Avenue and Vivera Place. It features a mini soccer field, a senior and junior play structure with swings and a toddlers sand play area, greenspace, landscaping pathways, benches and the opportunity for a future rink. Extensive effort has been made to save some of the existing vegetation in this park particularly along the western edge of the park. This is a wonderful addition to the neighbourhood and should prove to be great place to play for the whole family. If you wish to provide comments please send, no later than March 14, 2016, to: Diane Emmerson, OALA, CSLA Coordinator, Parks Planning Development Review, Suburban Services Tel.: 613-580-2424 ext. 16683 Email:Diane.Emmerson@ottawa.ca The Kanata Seniors Council Celebrates its 20th Anniversary On behalf of the Stittsville Community I would like to wish the Kanata Seniors Council (KSC) a happy 20th anniversary. I along with Mayor Watson and my west end council colleagues; Marianne Wilkinson, Eli El-Chantiry, Allan Hubley had the privilege to attend a celebration held at the Kanata Center on Thursday March 3rd. The KSC is a not-for-profit corporation that provides funding for various programs and events, sponsors computer instruction, and assists in equipment and furnishing acquisition for the Kanata Seniors Centre. The Kanata Seniors Centre provides a place for a number of activities and programs provided to seniors by the City of Ottawa, the Kanata Seniors Council, the Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre and other outside agencies. The KSC is not just a social group that provides various activities and events. It is voice for seniors in Kanata and west Ottawa. Many of our Stittsville seniors participate with the group. Over the years it has raised such issues as health, long term care, the City budget, fees at City facilities and many others. Since its merger with the Seniors’ Centre Advisory Board, the Council has also been advocating (in its advisory role for the Centre) to improve programs, activities and amenities at the Seniors’ Centre. Everyone is welcome to the warm atmosphere of the Council Café at the Kanata Seniors’ Centre. The Cafe is operated by volunteers of The KSC for the benefit of all area seniors, their friends and families, not just for members of the Kanata Seniors’ Centre. The primary purpose of the Council Café is for seniors to socialize while enjoying nutritious meals and snacks at reasonable prices. A portion of the profit goes toward supporting Seniors’ Centre programs. The Kanata Senior’s Center is located at 2500 Campeau Drive in Kanata. I invite you to visit http://www.kanataseniors.ca/index. html find out more about the many services that are offered. Congratulations on 20 years of seniors helping seniors!

Increased budget, more public education by city to combat hazard of wild parsnip Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
flyers. coupons. deals. cash back.
The city is doubling its efforts to fight wild parsnip this summer,and plans to start educating the public on avoiding it as early as April this year. The weed’s sap reacts with the sun’s rays and can cause burn-like skin rashes and in some extreme cases – blindness. The city declared it a noxious plant in January 2015 and gave parks, building and group services a budget of $100,000 to deal with it. This year, the budget will be $198,000, the city’s agriculture and rural affairs committee heard on March 2. Staff has found that a mature plant can shed as many as 1,000 seeds, which can lie dormant in the ground for up to three years. That means the plant spreads quickly and is hard to control and mowing alone won’t
stop it. Committee chair Scott Moffat said the city has been working with partners in neighbouring municipalities like Leeds-Grenville and Stormont-Dundas Glengarry to try and get a handle on the problem. “It’s really a regional problem,” Moffat said, adding the plant as spread as far as Belleville, Ont. Staff will begin spraying for the weed in May this year, a full month ahead of last year’s efforts. They will also meet with vendors for a herbicide called Truvist – because the herbicide they currently use, called ClearView, doesn’t deal with the plants seeds. West-Carleton March Coun. Eli El Chantiry said it’s important to send out information to residents. “A lot of them have trouble identifying the plant,” he said. Information will be made available at ottawa.ca/wildparsnip.
City to dip into reserve funds Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com
Ottawa city council will be balancing the books for 2015 by dipping into the city’s reserve funds. The city ended last year with a $42-million shortfall, which city treasurer Marian Simulik said is much better than the numbers originally forecast. Simulik credited the savings to minimal snowfalls in November and December, as well as the city’s hiring freeze. She suggested the city’s reserves are healthy enough to use them to deal with the deficit. Even with the removal of $42 million, reserves are expected to hit $267 million by the end of the year, Simulik said. During a March 1 finance and economic develop-
ment committee meeting, Gloucester-Southgate Coun. Diane Deans asked how much of the reserves – that come from sources such as the gas tax – are earmarked for specific items that need to be used for transit projects. Simulik said approximately $100 million comes from the gas tax, which the city is using to build the light rail the Confederation Line. City staff plan to do an inventory of the city’s reserves and report back before the end of this year, Simulik said. Deans questioned whether the city’s hiring freeze impacted service levels, and said she wonders what will happen to the budget once it’s lifted. City manager Kent Kirkpatrick said there’s still a freeze at the executive level, which will be in place until
the city meets the reduction targets set out during the budget process. He said the hiring freeze only applies to positions that don’t impact front line service. Mayor Jim Watson cited lower than expected water meter revenues, high snow clearing expenses and OC Transpo maintenance costs as unforeseen aspects of recent spending. “We have reserves for the reason that we can’t always budget precisely,” Watson said, calling the reserves a kind of rainy day fund. Watson added the budget performance review will help to create an early warning system if a department is in danger of going over budget. Watson also said the city would review snow clearing standards.

Mayor Jim Watson said he’s anxious to begin working with the National Capital Commission (NCC) as an ex-officio member of the NCC board. The commission announced on Feb. 29 that the board of directors had voted in favour of having the two mayors – Watson and Gatineau’s Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin – join the board as non-voting members. The city has been asking for a voice on the
commission’s board for a long time, namely because the commission’s decisions have an impact on city planning. The mayors’ participation will be governed by the same code of conduct, confidentiality provisions and conflict of interest rules required of NCC board members. A statement from the commission said the mayors would be present during all board discussions with the exception of certain items, including lawyer-client privilege, human resource or privacy matters and matters concerning the official residences.

To correct my column from last week, I realized that I had said the photo radar issue will come to Council on March 9th. There is no March 9th meeting of Council. It will come before us on March 23rd. I have received good feedback so far on the matter so please keep it coming.
john.curry@metroland.com
February 24th Meeting of Council At the most recent meeting of Council, we deliberated several motions that resulted in split votes. There were three to be exact and I wound up on the losing side of all three. My votes were mentioned in the press so I thought I would elaborate on my rationale in opposing the three motions. The first was a motion of support for the Canadian Radio-television & Telecommunications (CRTC) ruling that would require the sharing of fiber-optic networks between large and small competitors. Bell Canada appealed this decision and its appeal is now before the Government of Canada. The benefit of the ruling would be that small providers can access the infrastructure installed by large service providers, such as Bell and Telus. The downside, according to Bell Canada, is that they’ll delay fiber-optic rollout if it means that they’ll just be supplying infrastructure to their competitors.
JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

I voted against this motion for two reasons. First, the comment period ended back in December making this motion somewhat redundant. Secondly, my focus needs to be on rural internet customers. I don’t see a scenario in which small internet service providers are going to provide their own fibre optic network to rural Ottawa. If that service is going to be provided, it will almost certainly come from Bell. I cannot support any scenario which could have the possibility of delaying the rollout of that service to rural customers. The second issue was with regard to the spraying of mosquitoes on Kanata North. I lost 23-1 on this one. As a result, Kanata North residents will now pay a Special Area Levy each year on their taxes for four years on a campaign to reduce the presence of mosquitoes. There are no guarantees it will work. My opposition was based purely on process. Unfortunately, while we have a clear process for Local Improvement projects, we have nothing for special levies of this kind. In fact, a poll of residents isn’t even technically required at all. On a whim, a Councillor could bring forward a special levy to pay for a pet project. As a result, I have already begun looking into creating a process for special levies similar to what we already have in place for local improvements.

Margot Lange plays the violin as she performs at the music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. 1918 song that has been recorded by many famous names such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sophie Tucker, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Al Jolson and Frank Sinatra. There was “Shine On, Harvest Moon,” an early 1900’s song that has become a pop standard. Roland did a version associated with Canadian/American singer/songwriter Leon Redbone. Roland also performed songs associated with Bo Diddley, the American rhythm and blues singer who is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; with the duo of Brownie McGhee, a blues singer and guitarist, and Sonny Terry on the harmonica; and with American singer/songwriter Bill Withers whose “Ain’t No Sunshine” won the Grammy Award for Best Rhythm and Blues Song in 1972.
Roland also delivered memorable renditions of “Bye Bye Blackbird,” the 1926 song that has become a popular standard, and “Autumn Leaves,” the 1945 song that has been recorded lots over the years. 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 at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge with everyone welcome to attend. Early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, March 11, the music evening will feature the folk/pop stylings of singer/guitarist Michael Allen. On Friday, March 18, the duo of Amanda Bon and Danny Artuso will perform jazz and pop standards.
Lastly, I voted against a motion seeking to increase greenhouse gas reduction targets. Now, to be clear, this wasn’t a vote against the climate change issue. I supported the Air Quality & Climate Change Management Plan when it was passed at Environment Committee and Council in 2014. I was Vice-Chair of the Committee at that time and helped usher through a plan that set short term, achievable targets with a clear plan to get there. This was a plan that would even save the City money in the long run. What appeared on the Council agenda on February 24th was merely a motion with no clear plan that only sets a higher target over a longer period of time. When broken down, the motion is little more than an effort to pander to those pushing for more action on climate change. It doesn’t, however, actually achieve any increased action on climate change. In my opinion, the motion was purely politics. I voted against it for that reason. If someone wants to bring forward a plan with tangible objectives and a clear path to get there, like what we did when we brought forward the AQCCMP in 2014, then I’ll be happy to review that at that time. Stormwater Rate Structure Review You may recall in May, I highlighted an upcoming review on water, sewer and stormwater charges. In next week’s column, I will provide more details on where this currently stands. In the meantime, I just want to provide as much notice as possible that the City will host a public meeting on the matter on April 5th at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre in North Gower. There will be one meeting per rural ward so North Gower was chosen as the most central location. The meeting will begin at 7:00pm. Stay tuned to next week’s column for more details. If you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca or contact me by phone at 613-580-2491.

‘The music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday was billed as a performance by singer/guitarist Roland Doucet. But those in attendance heard more than just Roland’s swinging blues offerings. That’s because Roland was joined in parts of the evening by two guest performers, singer/violinist Margot Lange and later by singer Natalie L’Amour. They added a diversity to the music evening that took it to yet another level – and that’s not easy to do, given the wide range and repertoire of songs that Roland himself can deliver. Margot Lange, who is a member of the Crumble Quartet which has performed at the Gaia Java shop on previous occasions, not only played her violin but also delivered vocals as well, accompanied by Roland on guitar. She began with “Moon River,” the song by Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie “Breakfast At Tiffany’s” which won the Academy Award for Best Original Song as well as the 1962 Grammy Award for Record of the Year and also Song of the Year and then became Andy Williams’ theme song. She followed it up with “Somebody To Watch Over Me,” a George and Ira Gershwin composition from the 1926 musical “Oh, Kay” before collaborating with Roland on another song, combining their violin and guitar stylings with Roland providing the vocals. Near the end of the second half of the music evening, Roland was joined by vocalist Natalie L’Amour whose powerful, full voice was a perfect vehicle for two Patsy Cline songs – “Crazy,” a 1962 country music hit by Patsy Cline which was composed by the iconic Willie Nelson and “Walkin’ After Midnight,” Patsy Cline’s first major hit single back in 1957. Natalie also wowed the audience with her rendition of the 1934 George Gershwin song “Summertime,” written for the 1935 opera “Porgy and Bess,” which has become one of the most covered songs in the history of recorded music with over 33,000 covers. Add these guest performances to Roland’s own performance and it made for what Gaia Java co-owner Dan Godkin termed a “great night of entertainment” in his remarks thanking the performers at the end of the evening. Roland started off his performance with a song that everyone knew, although it has never been on any hit parade. And that was “Baa, Baa, Black Sheep,” an English nursery rhyme song that dates back to the 18th century at least. Roland explained that this is the favourite song of his 18 month old grandson who even at his young age is playing a little set of drums and a ukulele. But what else could you expect from a youngster with both parents being musicians and a musical grandfather like Roland. After this nursery rhyme opening, Roland turned his musical attention to a myriad of blues and pop favourites. So you heard “You Gotta Help Me,” a song associated with American singer and songwriter Johnny Winter, known for his high energy blues/rock and renowned as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. And speaking of greats, Roland presented “What A Wonderful World,” recorded in 1967 by the renowned Louis “Satchmo” Armstrong, a recording that was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. And the familiar songs and familiar performers kept coming – for instance, one by Big Bill Broonzy, the American blues singer from the 20’s to the 50’s who is considered one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century, writing over 300 songs ranging from traditional folk songs to original blues songs. The audience also heard “After You’ve Gone,” a

Advice seminar about fraud at Royal Bank John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
“If it is too good to be true, it probably is.” This familiar statement was voiced once again by Constable Phong Le of the Ottawa Police Service as advice as he explained about a possible online fraud scheme. Constable Le was participating in an advice seminar about fraud which was put on at the Royal Bank of Canada branch at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive last Saturday. He made the comment during an outline of some common schemes and scams which are used by those perpetrating a fraud. These include the emergency or grandparent scam, telemarketing with a supposedly toll-free number which is not toll-tree, fake charities, skimming which involves making a copy of credit card information and bait & switch which involves creating
Got Events?
a diversion at an ATM machine. Constable Le added another to the list, namely making a purchase without getting the item purchased. RBC banking advisor Antonia Russo told those at the advice seminar that people steal from others through fraud because of greed. Constable Le added that substance abuse, gambling or other addictions also can be a reason for fraud behaviour. Ms. Russo noted that there are also romance scams which happen either online or on the phone. A fraudster becomes an online or phone friend and then requests money even though there has never been a meeting between the two. Once the money is sent, the person becomes difficult to contact. Make sure that you know any person to whom you give money, Ms. Russo advised. Constable Le noted that fraudsters will search obituaries, dating sites and social media to find out about a person and then use that information in a fraud. Ms. Russo pointed out other frauds such as advance fee scams, international lottery scams and anti-virus

scams on a computer. Constable Le noted that renovation scams are becoming more common. A person is approached by a paver or a roofer offering to do a project around the house as the person is already working in the neighbourhood. Unfortunately, once any money is paid up front for such a job, the paver or roofer disappears. The most common fraud these days is phishing in which a person is approached by email and asked for information such as a credit card number and also its security numbers on the back of the card. RBC client advisory Meghan Stewart noted that in phishing situations, urgency is usually requested. In such circumstances, a person can respond without thinking. Ms. Stewart advised that the RBC would never send such an email seeking such information. If this happens, the person should go to his or her bank to tell bank personnel about the phishing message. Several tips to combat online and telephone banking fraud were presented at the workshop by Ms. Stewart including to never write down your user name or password. Other tips are to create a unique password that is not easily guessed and also not to install any free software. Ms. Russo advised that one way
to prevent debit or credit card fraud is to protect your pin number, to memorize your pin number and to change the pin number every six months or every year. Things can also be done to help prevent credit card fraud. Limiting the number of cards carried with you at any one time is one way to prevent losing all of your credit cards at once. In a restaurant, don’t let your credit card out of your view because it could be copied. Either go with your credit card or have a payment terminal brought to you. Monitoring the transactions online more frequently is another good way at least to catch such fraud activity. It was also explained how to report a case of fraud. Constable Le did make it clear that if there is no money lost in a fraud, then the victim should contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre.ca . However, if money is lost in a fraud, then the victim should call the Ottawa Police Service. In reporting fraud, it was pointed out that a person should contact your branch bank immediately. Any compromised accounts should be closed. File a police report and also contact the Canadian AntiFraud Centre at www.antifraudcentre.ca.

She will be joined in these shows by her friend and guitarist Federico Luiu and also by a special guest performer on percussion. Jenna and Federico both tend to improvise when performing together, leading to a fun and exciting time on stage. These shows provide the first opportunity for Jenna to share with Ottawa area residents some of her newly written songs, mixed in with a number of favourite songs by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Michael Jackson, Earth Wind & Fire and more. Jenna has been busy since her gradu-
ation from the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2013 where she obtained a Vocal Performance Degree (Summa Cum Laude) on a triple scholarship and was later named an Alumni Ambassador. She has collaborated with some top level international producers and songwriters in Canada, the United States and Europe. And she has been prolific as she has written over 40 new songs in just over the past year. She developed her song writing skills while at Berklee College of Music but it was only when she got out into the world of music that she was able to apply everything that she had learned at Berklee. Working with top level producers and songwriters has spurred her to write song after song. And she has done this even while performing at such events as the Ottawa Jazz Festival and at venues in New York City, Dallas, Greater Toronto and the Niagara region. In Dec. 2014, Jenna released her third album which received national airplay in Canada as well as on American stations and on international online radio stations. She has been featured on radio and in magazines and has received nominations as Emerging Artist and Artist of the Year. Her newest song is called “Wake Up,”
a rhythmic pop song with elements of rhythm and blues and soul. It was written by Jenna in collaboration with the New York team of producer Anwar Sawyer and songwriter/rapper Andrew Diaz. The song sends a message to everyone today who is addicted to technology that they need to wake up and rediscover the importance of face to face communication. The song calls for people to realize that it is human interaction that makes the world go round. A music video of this song featuring Jenna will be out soon. Another recently released single by Jenna is called “Deep In Love,” a song taken from her first original album. It can be streamed or downloaded from iTunes, CD Baby and Spotify. Thanks to her stage performances and her connection with her audiences, she has developed a huge following on YouTube, Sound Cloud, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, ReverbNation, Britrox TV, Rebel Radio and Super Xtar. Indeed, her social/online media exposure has resulted in well over 100,000 views to date. Jenna says that the way that she connects with her audience is perhaps her greatest asset as a performer. “I want to take my audience on a journey,” she says. “I want them to laugh with me, smile with me, and cry with me.” See JENNA GLATT, page 30

Jenna Glatt to perform twice this weekend Continued from page 28
Jenna began her professional music career when she was only nine years of age. She began writing songs when she was 12 years old but she viewed herself first as a performer and then as a songwriter. But in the past few years, Jenna, who is now 23 years old (24 in April), has become more serious about her song writing, realizing that song writing is a way for her to express her emotions, feelings and experiences and for her to connect with her fans. Jenna finds that her inspiration for songs comes from experiences that she has had. “I take from things that happen in my
own life and experience but also from others’ lives,” she points out. She is constantly jotting down things in her notes on her phone or singing into her voice notes, either phrases that she hears people say that might make a great line in a song or ideas that might pop up on a billboard, on a TV show or in a movie. And her Stittsville roots provide the basis for some of her song writing ideas. “Stittsville is where I spent most of my life up until I was 18 years old,” she points out. “I made lots of friends, attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School, spent a lot of time at that skating rink and playing outside at the basketball court and the playground as well as making trips with
my friends to the convenience store on Main Street for our famous candy run.” Jenna has even written a song about her childhood called “Bring It Back,” with many of the experiences outlined in the song taking place in Stittsville. She points out that one of the most important things that she learned at Berklee was to stay true to herself in her music and as an artist. “We can only act upon what we know, what we feel, and from our own experiences,” Jenna says. “So in everything and anything we do it’s important to stay true to yourself and to live your own truth.” Being on stage feels like home, Jenna says.

“When I am up there singing in front of a live and attentive audience I honestly get a “high” from it,” she says. “It’s one of the best feelings when you can make an audience feel what you are feeling and to hold their attention for however long you are on stage and at the end of it all they find themselves only wanting more.” Jenna is planning on performing and writing music for the rest of her life. She wants to deliver songs that relate to people so that they will want to hear them for years down the road, sharing them with their children. She wants to travel the world as a full time professional musician, booking international tours. She also wants in the future to create full production shows with a full band, back up singers, dancers and theatrical lighting. Jenna has an interest in many different styles of music and this influences her music and singing. She has two jazz albums, she loves old school soul, funk and rhythm and blues, neo-soul, Latin and world music, and pop and 90’s and early 2000’s rhythm and blues. Her musical heroes include Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Judy Garland. What is common about all of them is that they sing from the heart, with their music continuing to live on and inspire people over the years. That’s what Jenna wants to accomplish with her music.

Royals win 5-1 but then lose third gameof series John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
The Stittsville Royals came back to tie up their Central Canada Hockey League Tier 2 playoff series against the Westport Rideaus but then the Royals fell behind again in the series with a loss in the third game of the series. The Stittsville Royals had dropped the opening game of the series to Westport 8-2 on Sunday, Feb. 28 at the Richmond arena. However, last Friday, the Royals rebounded from this opening game loss, defeating the Westport Rideaus 5-1 at the Richmond arena. The Royals led 2-0 after the first period and 3-0 after the second period. Indeed, the Royals had built up a 5-0 lead before Westport scored its only goal of the game at the 11:08 mark of the third period. This was the last goal scored in the game. Five Royals shared in the scoring in this game – Shane Hiley, Mike DiBello, Colin Baggio, Marc Bertrand and Jordan Boutilier. Shane Hiley also had three assists in this game. Single assists were earned by Patrick Picard, Jack Chudleigh, Neil Penner, Marc Bertrand and Ryan Cullen. The Royals peppered the Westport net with 48 shots in this game. Westport managed 24 shots on the Royals goal. With the series tied at one game apiece, the scene shifted to the Westport arena last Saturday where the hometown Rideaus defeated the visiting Stittsville Royals 3-2. It was 1-1 after the first period with Westport scoring the only two goals of the second period to take a 3-1 lead into the third period. The Royals scored the only goal of the third period with the game ending 3-2 for Westport. Shane Hiley and Troy Hass scored the goals in this game for the Royals. Picking up assists were Troy Hass, Mike DiBello, Etienne Vivash and Colin Baggio. The Royals had 35 shots on the Westport net while Royals goalie Connor Ellis faced 30 Westport shots.

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com
I was driving in a parking lot and I collided with a parked car while leaving. There was some damage. I thought it looked pretty serious, but the owner said if I paid $500 cash, it would be no problem. Is there any down side to this? Yes. It is risky to settle financial issues with respect to a property damage dispute on an informal basis. The first issue is your insurance protection. If you think you may have to make an insurance claim, then you risk voiding your insurance coverage by taking any steps to settle without the express consent of your insurer. Secondly, without proper documentation to evidence your agreement, there is a risk that your payment will not be viewed as a final settlement, About Allan Snelling

particularly if there is more damage than the payment would cover, giving rise to a finding of improvident settlement. If in doubt, you should always report a potential claim to your insurer. Absent insurance, you may want to consider hiring a lawyer to draft a release. At the very least, you should evidence a settlement agreement in writing.

Mati Barrett of Stittsville is Academic All Canadian John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
Playing goalie for the Dalhousie University Tigers. Impressive. Being honoured as an Academic All Canadian by Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). Awesome. Receiving this honour for three years in a row. Priceless. But for 21 year old Mati Barrett of Stittsville, this has been the reality as she has once again this year been recognized as an Academic All Canadian by CIS. For the third year running, she has been recognized and listed on the CIS Honour Roll which requires those so honoured to maintain a grade point average of an Aor better and to be enrolled as a student athlete at an academic institution. Mati, who lives in Stittsville where she returns every summer, is a graduate of Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. Following graduation, she was off to Dalhousie University in Halifax, NS to study kinesiology and to play hockey for the Dalhousie Tigers women’s hockey team. She is now in her fourth year at Dalhousie but following graduation this spring, she plans to return to Dalhousie for a fifth year both to play hockey and to prepare for her Medical College Admission Test. Mati admits that being a student athlete takes a lot of time with games on the weekends, off-ice training and daily practices. But she says that the busy schedule involving both sports and academics forces her to manage her time. Such time management helps lead to success.

She says that she has improved as a goalie over her time at Dalhousie, not only by honing existing skills but also by learning new skills and different techniques. She also watches a lot of game tape in striving to improve. In a March 11, 2010 article in the Stittsville News, Mati, who was then one of two goalies with the Sacred Heart girls hockey team, is described as a butterfly-style goalie. She admits today that things have not changed too much since then as she says that she is definitely not a stand up goalie. She does say, though, that she is now a more aggressive goalie since suiting up for Dalhousie, playing the angles better and being more confident playing the puck. And her head coach at Dalhouse, Sean Fraser, praises her goaltending. “She is solid between the pipes every game and always gives us a chance to win,” coach Fraser writes about Mati in an email. He also praises her for her hard work not only on the ice but in the gym and in the classroom, calling her “a big part of our team on and off the ice.” And, indeed, Mati is an active volunteer in the Halifax community. She has volunteered with organizations such as Ronald McDonald House, Blind Sports Nova Scotia and the Easter Seals sledge hockey and boccia programs which support athletes living with disabilities. “The Dalhousie and Halifax community have given me so many opportunities and experiences,” Mati says. “I volunteer as a way to show my appreciation for the support I have received and to give back to my community.” She has volunteered once a week at Ronald McDonald House and this past season she organized with some teammates the preparation of
dinner meals for families residing at Ronald McDonald House. The hockey season is over now this season for the Dalhousie Tigers as the team lost in the first round of the playoffs. But Mati is excited to be returning for her fifth year with the team in the fall because she believes that the team has a good core of veteran players now thanks to a rebuild of the team three years ago. Coach Fraser says that he is excited that Mati is returning for another season as he sees the team making a push for an Atlantic University Sport championship. Besides returning to play hockey for one more season with the Tigers, Mati will also be preparing for her Medical College Admission Test. And while Mati has been away studying and playing at Dalhousie, she has not forgotten her time at Sacred Heart. Indeed, she has a picture on the wall of her apartment taken when the Sacred Heart
Huskies placed fourth at the provincial OFSAA girls hockey high school championship. She calls it “one of my memory pictures.” She recalls her high school hockey as being a lot of fun, noting that while university hockey can also be fun, there is pressure to win. She says that the skill level and intensity in university hockey is a “step up” from both high school hockey and from the girls hockey league in which she played in Ottawa. Mati says that ideally she would like to keep playing and be involved in hockey in the future. She says that when she is back home in Stittsville in the summer, she spends time coaching at hockey camps. She says that she could always get into coaching in the future but she says that right now she is not prepared to stop playing competitively. She says that if an opportunity arose in the future to play in the Canadian Women’s Hockey League, she would taken the opportunity. See GOALIE, page 35

Goalie for Dalhousie Continued from page 33
But right now playing another season for the Dalhousie Tigers and moving on to her postgraduate education are her immediate challenges. Mati, who was born in the Netherlands, lived in Germany and Colorado before living in Stittsville and going to Sacred Heart High School. She has been skating
Mati Barrett
since about the age of four and playing hockey soon after that in North Dakota, first as a player and then as a goalie at age ten when she was living in Toronto. When the family moved to Colorado, she continued to play goalie but always against older players. She has loved playing goal since she first moved into the position. As a goalie, she feels in control of the game. Besides playing for the Sacred Heart Huskies, Mati also played for the Nepean girls hockey team. As a 15 year old grade ten student at Sacred Heart, Mati and a fellow goalie, Caroline Swatalski, amassed an enviable record, allowing just three goals in the ten game regular season and two playoff games. No wonder the team went to the provincial OFSAA champion-
ships that year. Indeed, Sacred Heart Huskies coach Sylvain Croteau, a veteran hockey coach, said at the time that he had never witnessed such a remarkable goals against performance as that demonstrated by Mati and Caroline over the 12 game stretch. He praised both goalies for being very committed and consistent. For her part, Mati says that she is motivated to succeed on and off the ice by an internal drive to compete and to be the best athlete and scholar that she can be. This season, Mati, who is five feet, six inches tall, compiled a .909 save percentage. Players on the Dalhousie University Tigers women’s hockey team come from Nova Scotia, Ontario, New Brunswick, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.
Molson’s Black, Cabling Ottawa win in Town League playoffs John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
Both Stittsville Town League semi-final playoff games on Thursday, March 3 featured 2-0 scores at the end of the first period. But then the two games went in different directions. In one game, the team leading 2-0 after the first period went on to win 6-1. In the other game, the team leading 2-0 at the end of the first period did not hold the lead and ended up losing by a 7-5 score. Molson’s Black defeated Pro2Col Red 6-1, leading all the way. It was 2-0 at the end of the first period for the Molson’s Black squad and 3-1 for the Black team at the end of the second period before ending up as a 6-1 victory for Molson’s Black. Shayne Thompson scored three goals in this game for Molson’s Black while Robbie Clarkson chipped in with two goals. Matt Mulligan scored the other goal. Mike Byrne picked up three assists in the game while Matt Killen earned two assists. Single assists went to Jordan Hass, Chris Monteith, Mike Horner and Ryan Sterling. Paul Doyle scored the only goal of the game for the Red team, with Chris Brussatoir picking
up an assist on the play. In the other semi-final playoff game, Laurysen Kitchens started off great, taking a 2-0 lead over the Cabling Ottawa Orange team into the second period. But this second period was not a good one for the Laurysen squad as Cabling Ottawa scored five goals to take a 5-3 lead into the third period. Both teams scored two goals in the third period as the game ended 7-5 in favour of Cabling Ottawa. Steve McJannet scored three goals in this game for Cabling Ottawa. Other scorers were Matt Hand, Trevor Graham, Jason Gallinger and John Ostapyk. John Ostapyk picked up three assists in the game. Single assists were earned by Jamie Small, Steve McJannet, Scott Sherman, Jason Foran and Trevor Graham. Five players shared the scoring for the Laurysen Kitchens squad in this game: Scott Vennor, Brennan Gould, Ryan Kennedy, Corey Laurysen and Chris Hesse.

Thanks Ottawa, you bring out the best in us.
SCHS Storm win championship John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
“We Are the Champions.” This 1977 song by the British rock group Queen has become an anthem for the victorious at sporting events and so it very much applies to this year’s South Carleton High School Storm boys hockey team which captured the National Capital Secondary Schools Athletic Association (NCAASS) Non-OFSSA Division championship on Wednesday, March 2, completing a two game sweep of the Immaculata High School Saints in the final series. The SC Storm defeated St. Matthew High School 5-4 in preliminary round playoff action and then got by Nepean High School 4-3 in semi-final playoff action to make it to the best of three Non-OFSAA championship series against the Immaculata Saints. The SC Storm won the opening game of this best-of-three championship series 6-4 to take a one game lead in the series. The second game of this championship series saw the teams take to the ice at the Sandy Hill Arena in Ottawa on Wednesday, March 2. The SC Storm jumped into a 2-0 first period lead, scoring with 4:10 left to go in the period and then adding a second marker with 1:43 to go. But in the second period, the Immaculata Saints stormed back, scoring at the 12:14 mark of the period on a five-on-three power play to make it 2-1. Just over five minutes later, Immaculata scored again to tie up the game 2-2. Then, with 4:24 left in the period, Immaculata scored on a power play to take a 3-2 lead. But this lead was short lived as the SC Storm scored with 3:33 to go in the period to knot up the score at, what else, 3-3. Yes, 3’s were wild at that point in the game. So, it was all tied up 3-3 going into the
third period. The SC Storm scored at the 11:26 mark to take a 4-3 lead and this is how the score remained until the Storm scored a clinching goal with just 6.2 seconds left on the clock to win the game 5-3 and win the series two games to none. After an on-ice celebration which saw players’ gloves, sticks and helmets thrown in jubilation and littering the ice, the players of both teams shook hands with each other as well as with the opposing coaches and even the referees. The gold medals were presented to the players on the winning SC Storm team with silver medals going to the Immaculata Saints players. The championship trophy was then presented to the winning SC Storm team. Members of the South Carleton High School Storm Non-OFSAA championship team are goalie Kyle Stacey, goalie Cameron Millar, Josh Arts, Matt Banning, Brett Campbell, Jared Downey, Andrew Foster, Randy Foster, Nathan Grenon, Hunter McDonald, Jonah Maybury, Brody McPhee, Erik Millar, Josh Muldoon, Quinn Muzzi, Tommy Roos, Drew Seabrook, Riley Sloan, Ryan Steele and Ben Whyte. The coaches of the SC Storm are Ty Sullivan, Brett Lyle and Matt McDonald. The SC Storm played in the ten-team Non-OFSAA Division of the high school boys hockey league, finishing in fifth place in the regular season with a record of five wins, four losses and a tie. The Storm scored 35 goals in the regular season while allowing 24 goals. In the regular season, the SC Storm defeated the Immaculata Saints 3-2 in the only game between the two teams. Immaculata Saints finished in sixth place in the regular season, just behind the SC Storm. The Saints had a regular season record of four wins, five losses and one tie.

‘Shamrock’N 2016’ to feature entertainment and fireworks Special to the News
It’s becoming an annual tradition that’s a fun way of celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. It’s “Shamrock’N 2016” this year as the Richmond District Lions Club and the Richmond Agricultural Society once again are joining forces to stage this Irish-themed event at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds, right beside the Richmond arena. It will be happening this Saturday, March 12, running from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and ending with a fireworks display high over the Richmond fairgrounds. But there’s lots to enjoy before the fireworks. World famous fiddler Robby Dagenais will be performing throughout the day and there’s nothing more Irish than fiddle music. Robby is a Canadian fiddle champion, so you know that this will be entertainment that you don’t want to miss. The world-famous “Bacon on a Bun,” prepared by the Richmond District Lions Club, will be available throughout the day. It may not be Irish in origin but there’s not an Irishman who does not enjoy good food and the JOHN CURRY/METROLAND
Gerry Moore, left, of the Richmond District Lions Club and Dale Greene, right, of the Richmond Agricultural Society get into the spirit of the Irish as they look forward to “Shamrock’N 2016” celebrating St. Patrick’s Day which is being held this Saturday, March 12 from 1 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. The event will feature entertainment, Bacon-on-a-Bun and closing fireworks.
“Bacon on the Bun” is the best tasting treat you’ll have in quite a while. This “Shamrock’N 2016” is an “all ages” event, so people of all ages from youngsters to grandparents and everyone in between are welcome to attend. Labatt products will be available for refreshment. Tickets will be $10 per person at the door. Children will be admitted free of charge. So, some join the leprechauns, the Irish and those who wish they were Irish at this St. Patrick’s Day celebration on Saturday, March 12. You’ll get a five day start on the real thing on Thursday, March 17 and lots of time to recuperate before that St. Patrick’s Day happens. For more information, please contact Dale Greene at 613-838-3420 or via email at richmondfair@sympatico.ca. St. Patrick’s Day and associated celebrations are all part of the legends and stories revolving around St. Patrick who is the primary patron saint of Ireland. He has become the patriotic symbol of Ireland, along with the colour green and the shamrock.

Focus on Cuba at World Day of Prayer John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
A touch of Cuba came to Richmond last Friday. It all happened at the annual World Day of Prayer service in which there were stories recounted about the experiences of Cuban women, there was a replica of a Cuban flag on display, there was a basket full of fruits

Jeanette Cross, left, holding a cassava, an edible tuberous root that is a food source in tropical countries including Cuba, chats about the cassava’s qualities with Maria Thompson, centre, and Shirley Joseph, right, at the World Day of Prayer event in Richmond last Friday. Maria is originally from Jamaica while Shirley is from Cuba.
and vegetables common in Cuba, there were intercessions pertinent to today’s society in Cuba, there was background information presented about Cuba and there was a presentation about present-day Cuba delivered by a person who was in Cuba in early January. Hosted at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street, the World Day of Prayer service was prepared this year by the women of Cuba, with the local organizing committee comprised of representatives from Richmond churches determining the hymns and the Scripture reading which were incorporated into the service. The local committee also decided to have an 11:30 a.m. luncheon with a Cuban flair held before the service. This luncheon featured rolls and a choice of soup including four kinds that are common in Cuba such as sweet potato soup, tomato with rice soup and black bean soup. Dessert was also provided. The service, which was attended by Rev. Carla VanDelen of St. Paul’s United Church, Rev. Michel Dubord of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, Deacon Louis Seward of St. Philip’s Catholic Church and Rev. Wayne Menard of

the host St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, got underway about 12:35 p.m., with Jeannette Cross welcoming everyone to St. Andrew’s and beginning by providing some background information about Cuba – that Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean, has a population of 11 million, has an average temperature of 25.5 degrees, has been impacted by both Spanish and African influences in the past, has Spanish as its official language, and experienced the Fidel Castro revolution in 1959 which resulted in an atheist policy that was only altered in the 1990’s to allow some religious freedom. After an opening procession which saw a basket of fruit and vegetables common in Cuba carried to the front to the sounds of singing “Amigos de Cristo” or “Friends of the Lord” accompanied by the rattle of maracas, the 50 in attendance then heard a series of stories telling the stories of Cuban women. There was the story of Yamilka who holds down multiple jobs in order to feed and care for her family; the story of Liudmia, a young woman with an education who cannot supJOHN CURRY/METROLAND port her family as she cannot earn Bernadette Nagle, left, and Nora Gordon, right, are enough to do so due to the ongoing with a basket of fruit and vegetables commonly economic crisis in the country; found in Cuba which was on display at the World Day See LYN HUGHES, page 45
of Prayer service in Richmond last Friday.
Lyn Hughes tells about visit to Cuba at World Day of Prayer service Continued from page 44
the story of Olivia who lives with her mother and goes to church every Sunday; the story of Ana Paula who is from the central region of Cuba as represented by a piece of sugar cane which was placed on the altar before her story was told; and the story of Maria Carla from Cuba’s western region which told about the familiar Cuban greeting “Buenas Tardes,” a greeting which then spread throughout the audience. Hymns sung during this World Day of Prayer service included “Shine Jesus Shine,” “Bring Many Names,” “Spirit, Spirit of Gentleness,” “On Eagles Wings” and “Brother, sister, let me serve you.” Following a Scripture reading taken from Psalm 30, a meditation was delivered by Lyn Hughes, a ministry student who has had a field placement at St. Andrew’s in Richmond. She travelled with her ministry classmates to Cuba at the beginning of this past January for a week’s stay, not
with any intention of teach or change things there but with the goal of learning about the work of the church there. She told about the city of Matanzas which is east of Havana where they experienced narrow, potholed streets, vehicles with musical horns and roosters crowing through the night, causing dogs to bark and cats to snarl but where a Sunday service at a Presbyterian church celebrating the Epiphany saw numerous people proclaiming their thanks for happenings in 2015. The group also travelled to Havana, experiencing on the way horse drawn carts, old 1950’s cars and goats and chickens wandering everywhere. But the group also saw people who appeared healthy and happy despite 60 years of embargo that has made a lasting impression on the country’s economy and people who now had hope for economic recovery thanks to improving relations with the United States. They were told how the
revolution had re-created Cuban society, eliminating the racism, gender discrimination and educational inequality which had prevailed under the previous dictatorship. In Cuba today, churches have become organizations that reliably deliver social programs. Churches may sponsor, for example, health clinics, provide clean water and free lunches and distribute government provisions. Lyn said that Cubans are a spiritual people with many faiths existing in the country. The majority follow the Yoruba religious tradition which involves religious concepts and practices from Africa. Roman Catholicism is the second largest faith in Cuba, followed by the Protestant faiths. There are also a number of other religions. “I found Cubans to be very hopeful for the future,” Lyn said, although she added that generally they are worried about their young people being swamped by today’s consumer culture with the opening up of the

country. One of the intercessions proclaimed near the conclusion of the service, to which those in attendance answered “Hear our prayer, O Lord” as they did for all of the intersections read as follows: We Thank you for the people who work hard for the social, economic, cultural and spiritual development of our country. We pray that you transform the walls erected by the economic blockage into wide open doors that are ready to receive.” One of those at this World Day of Prayer event at St. Andrew’s was Rev. Tony Boonstra, a former minister at the church. The altar at the front of the church was draped with a replica of the Cuban flat, with a white background, blue stripes and a partial red star. The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christians from all traditions who come together on the
first Friday of March each year to observe a common day of prayer. The World Day of Prayer is celebrated annually in over 170 countries, with the movement bringing together women of various races, cultures and traditions around the world. The World Day of Prayer started in the United States in 1887. The movement expanded to Canada and then to the British Isles in the 1930’s. Through the World Day of Prayer, women are encouraged to become aware of other countries and cultures. They are encouraged to take up the burdens of other people, to sympathize with the problems of other countries and cultures and to pray with and for them. The World Day of Prayer aims to demonstrate that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world. Every year the World Day

‘Quiz for a Cause’ to help Seje community in Kenya John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
It was Quiz for a Cause night at the Community Bible Church in Stittsville last Saturday. This is a fundraising event in which teams of trivia and knowledge buffs compete for the honour of winning the nine-round quiz but who more importantly are part of an effort to raise funds to expand a school in the community of Seje in Kenya. The Community Bible Church has been helping the Seje community for a number of years now in the areas of education, clean water and agriculture. This year’s Quiz for a Cause attracted 15 eight-member teams, featuring such names as Oldie But Goodies, Deep Thinkers, Les Quizerables, The Fabulous Eight, The Magnificent Eight, Good Guess, Cranium Krushers, Let’s Get Quizzical and Shooting for the Moon. New at this year’s event was a giant yellow question mark which hung from the ceiling over the centre of the stage area, just further emphasizing that the event is all about questions – ten in each of the nine rounds. And the rounds all have a theme: so there’s the “Oh Canada” round, “The Silver Screen” round, the “Around the World in 80 Days” round, the “Famous Pauls and Janes” round, the “Bits and Pieces” round, the “On the Campaign Trail” round, the “Blue is the Colour” round, “The Small Screen” round and “The Images” round. And just what were the questions like? In the “Oh Canada” round, one question asked about how many time zones there are in Canada (answer: six). In the “Famous Pauls and Janes” round, there was a question asking for the name of the famous singer and songwriter who was born in Ottawa in July 1941 (answer: Paul Anka). And in the “Blue is the Colour” round, there was a question asking for the last year in which the Winnipeg Blue Bombers won the Grey Cup (an-
swer: 1990). One of the most entertaining parts of the evening was when there was a technical glitch in the playing of audio clips from movies in round two, “The Silver Screen” round. With no audio clips forthcoming, quizmasters Dave Bryan and Neil Jackman improvised, performing the clips from these famous movies (or at least a facsimile of them) for the audience. So you had Neil Jackman portraying Jimmy Stewart beseeching his guardian angel Clarence to return him to his world as he knew it from the 1946 movie “It’s A Wonderful Life.” And you had the pair of them trying to replicate the back-and-forth question and answer scene involving John Candy and Macaulay Culkin in the 1989 comedy film “Uncle Buck.” Fortunately for the Quiz for a Cause teams, the technical glitch was solved and the four audio clips were able to be heard as was initially planned. Another highlight of the evening was the Dessert Parade in which 15 homemade desserts were paraded into the hall and placed on a table at the front, with bids received in envelopes from each team. The team which bid the most (which happened to be a generous $300) got to have the first choice of the desserts. And so it went, down through all of the teams, with the desserts being enjoyed by each team after round five of the questions. The desserts ranged from carrot cake to Black Forest cake to chocolate layer cake to chocolate cheesecake to lemon raspberry cheesecake. While the final results of the evening were being compiled, a couple of fun games were held on stage. This included trying to manoeuvre a lamp shade on a stick onto a head with the person blindfolded and also included trying to knock over a lineup of water bottles while blindfolded. Early results in the quiz had things looking good for the “Good Guess” team. Good Guess led with 51 points after the first two rounds, followed by Les Quizerables and

Let’s Get Quizzical. After five rounds, Good Guess continued to lead, followed by Let’s Get Quizzical and the Cranium Krushers. But, in the end, after all nine rounds and when the scores for the so-called “Pencil Problems” (anagrams, etc.) were added in, it was “The Quizknows Strikes Back” team which emerged on top. Members on this winning team were Dave Ayre, Sarah Aikin-Ayre, Julie Booker, Peter Moo, Michelle Moo, Jennifer Pattison, David Booker and Peter Pattison. At the intermission, an update was provided about the Seje community project in Kenya for which the event was being held as a fundraiser. The funds raised this year are going to help build another classroom on the school, Gracious Academy, which has been established in Seje thanks to previous fundraising by the Community Bible Church. Besides this school initiative, the Community Bible Church has also helped provide

clean water to the community by pumping water from a nearby river and distributing it throughout the community, serving 2,000 people. This water distribution system is going to be expanded in the future. The Community Bible Church also has been involved in the purchase of land for agricultural purposes, with food being grown on the land for use at the school and also to raise funds for the school through the sale of the food. A video was presented which showed the school in Seje and a kitchen with ovens which has been developed. It was announced that there are going to be other fundraisers for this Seje initiative including a garage sale, a 5K run, a pre-Christmas sale and a Valentines event. It was also announced that another trip involving members of the Community Bible Church congregation and others is being planned for June 2017.

MARY COOK Memories Aunt Vanetta, I thought, looked exactly like the Queen. With a cloud of snow-white hair, the bluest eyes I had ever seen, and so different from Uncle Johnny, I often wondered what they saw in each other. With a bunch of other relatives, she lived at 129 Lyon St., all in separate apartments, and right next door to No. 2 fire station. Goodness knows where everyone slept, because Aunt Lily and Uncle Dick and their son Richard, lived there too. I know all this because once we got the old Model T Ford in a trade, there was no stopping Mother from taking frequent trips into Ottawa and 129 Lyon St. How I loved to visit Aunt Vanetta and Uncle Johnny. It was said amongst the family that Aunt Vanetta practically lived at the Catholic Church a couple blocks away. Rain or shine, she went to mass every morning without fail. Family gossip also said Uncle Johnny never darkened the church door! He said Aunt Vanetta went to enough masses to bless the
Visiting relatives on Lyon Street was like going to another world
entire length of Lyon Street. If we were lucky enough to be at 129 Lyon St. when she was going off to mass (she often went in the middle of the day too), we were first treated to a lecture on the importance of being “once a Catholic, always a Catholic,” aimed directly at Mother, which didn’t sit well with Father, a staunch Lutheran. It wasn’t above Uncle Johnny, who drove a huge steamroller for the City of Ottawa, to let out a string of swear words, for no reason at all. The only one who seemed to take offence, or even notice, was Aunt Vanetta. And her little hand would flutter to her chest to make the sign of the cross. When I was alone, I tried to do it too, but I could never remember if you touched your forehead or your heart first. And I thought it was very important to get everything in order, or you’d get it from God. It wasn’t unusual to see Aunt Vanetta off in the parlour alone saying her beads, which I knew were called a rosary, while everyone else was in the kitchen sitting around the big oilcloth covered table. When the beads
weren’t being fingered in her hands, they were kept in her spotlessly clean apron pocket. I’m not sure if Aunt Vanetta thought there might be a flicker of hope that one of us from out there in Renfrew County would become Catholic, but one Easter, she presented the five of us children with our own rosary. Mother, once a Catholic, said, “Isn’t that lovely,” and Father vowed to never again darken the door at 129 Lyon St. Of course, that threat was short-lived. He liked Uncle Johnny, and I often saw him laugh so hard that the tears rolled down his face at the jokes and stories told around that kitchen table. Father smoking his pipe, and Uncle Johnny with a big fat cigar hanging loosely from his mouth. Often the big steamroller was parked in the yard beside the house, and it reeked of tar, and Uncle Johnny would let each of us country kids climb up behind the wheel, which was the biggest steering wheel I had ever seen, and he would start the engine just so that we could pull a rope that hung inside the cab. That tug would set off a horn
that my sister Audrey said could probably be heard on the outskirts of Ottawa. And I would think how lucky was my cousin Richard to live at such a house where there was so much excitement. When it was time to head back to Northcote, I would be very quiet in the Model T and relive all the excitement that swirled around 129 Lyon St. Aunt Vanetta and her strong faith, Uncle Johnny, who when he talked could be heard two blocks away, and the various cousins and aunts, all living together under one roof. It was like going to another world. It would be many decades later that I saw 129 Lyon St. levelled to the ground to make way for a many-storied hotel, leaving me with warm and colourful memories of another time and another place.

IN MEMORIAM
BROWN
Shirley Ann Brown (nee Dodd) died in her sleep on Tuesday, March 01, 2016. She was 83 years old and in the final stages of COPD. She lost her beloved husband John (Farmer) Brown in 1989 and lost touch with her remaining brothers Bryan Dodd (Ann), Barry Dodd (Lorraine), David Dodd and sister Roma Mason (Bill) and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by the late Dawna, Beulah, Betty, Gib and Ola. She spent the last 10 years raging against life; using every available vice she could find to throw at it. And in the end, still railing, I was the last one listening. She always told me that the truth would set me free and I searched for meaning in that statement’s profundity my whole life. I have yet to find my truth but these last few years have allowed me the opportunity to get closer to hers - the ravaging, isolating, complex, distraught, contradictory, distorted, unconventional version of it. Ironically, her version has set me free. For it has taught me love - the deepest most unconditional kind and acceptance in the face of its uncompromising, unabashed ambiguity. May the gift of her truth guide me to my own with wisdom and clarity but until that day arrives with its glorious revelation, may she rest in peace, with hers, forever. We would like to thank the nurses and staff at Garden Terrace for their incomparable support and assistance. All donations can be sent to the Residents Council of Garden Terrace, 100 Aird Place, Kanata, ON K2L 4H8 A gathering will be held in Constance Bay at a later date to honour her life and her struggle to live it.

watch at times but also was given opportunities to get his hands dirty and figure out a problem for himself. He learned about engines, brakes, suspension and many other automotive parts. Dan is now thinking that he might want to work in the future in the automotive industry, either as a technician or on the business side of things. This semester one of the courses that he is taking is accounting which he is liking. He notes that it is his first introduction to the business side of a business. Dan wants the work in his life to be something that he likes doing because he figures that if he likes what he is doing, he will eagerly go to work every day and enjoy it. He says that one of the things that surprised him at Kellco Car Care was the fact that everything is kept neat and tidy in the shop, not “greasy and dirty” as might be expected. Besides his passion for cars, Dan also enjoys snowboarding. He likes the outdoors and one of his courses this semester is outdoor education. One of the recent activities was building a quinzee out of snow.

Map of Carp Special to the News
An 1898 map of the village of Carp which has been fully restored will be on view at a meeting of the Huntley Township Historical Society on Tuesday, March 22 at 2:30 p.m. at the Carp Memorial Hall in the heart of Carp. The meeting is open to the public.
Exhibition features work of Art Mad Artists John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
There’s landscapes like Edna Marlow’s watercolour of a lighthouse in Prince Edward Island. There’s wildlife like Gerald Chamberlain’s pair of baby wood duckings or Patti Morgan’s winter scene of an owl. There’s works like Roelfina Hulshof’s two paintings of leaves in autumn. And more, all portraying different subjects and all done in a unique style by the artist. It can all be found in the new “Explorations” art exhibition which is now on display at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. The exhibition runs until the end of March. It features the work of the Art Mad Artists, a group of artists now numbering about a dozen who meet and paint at the meeting room at the Stittsville library every Friday afternoon. The name of the group comes from the group’s genesis at the former Art Mad shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart Plaza) in Stittsville. When this Art Mad shop closed in 2012, six of the artists who painted and exhibited there got together and sought out a new studio space which they found at the Stittsville library branch’s meeting room. The group’s purpose is to pursue the members’ love of creating independent art and to provide an opportunity for each artist to develop his or her own artistic style in a friendly group setting. The Art Mad Artists group has had exhibitions of the work of its members in 2013, 2014, 2015 and now in 2016 with this “Explorations” exhibition. This “Explorations” exhibition features 19 works on the ArtSpace Wall itself as well as more paintings in the glass display case that is associated with the ArtSpace Wall Gallery. There’s even one on top of the display case, namely Gerald Chgamberlain’s floral acrylic of a pink clematis. It is on the ArtSpace Wall and in the glass

display case where you find the diversity of paintings created by this Art Mad Artists group of artists including landscapes, wildlife scenes and more, even including an acrylic of a green dragon done by Suzanne Marsden. But Suzanne does more than imaginary creatures like dragons and the exhibition also features her acrylic of a rugged desert mountain set against a blue sky called “Sedona Dream.” It is a diverse exhibition with something for every viewer. Maggie Madden’s idyllic pastoral scene “Summer Pasture” depicts cows grazing in a field, surrounded by a farm gate and trees. Patti Morgan’s “Waiting for Spring” watercolour is another landscape scene featuring a leafless birch tree, evergreens and, you guessed it, snow. Linda Gorman’s “Grandpa’s Barn” watercolour shows a red barn with a barbed wire fence in the foreground, again with a snow landscape. And Roelfina Hulshof’s acrylic of an old truck, appropriately called “Old Memories,” also includes some snow. Natalie Jones’ three watercolour pencil drawings in the exhibition are eye catching with their foreboding appearance, with two
featuring Venetian carnival masks and the other showing the face of a red fox. At the exhibition there is a booklet which outlines includes information about the Art Mad Artists group and also contains biographical information about some of the artists. You can learn that Gerald Chamberlain, for example, took up painting in the fall of 2011 after a lengthy career in the federal government. He likes to work with acrylic paints which he finds give him the freedom to work with colours and to experiment with mixtures and textures. You also learn that Linda Gorman is the newest member of the group, although not new to painting as she is a self-taught artist who has been painting with watercolours since 2003. She likes doing landscapes and lake scenes. Edna Marlow has found the joy of painting with watercolours in her retirement years while Suzanne
Marsden is a long time artist, having drawn since she was young. She likes East Coast scenes as well as creating imaginary creatures such as the green dragon which is included in the exhibition. Current members of the Art Mad Artists include Bernice Hennessy (acrylics and watercolour pencil), Audrey Braganza (acrylics), Gerald Chamberlain (acrylics), Hilary Dick (watercolour pencil and acrylics), Linda Gorman (watercolours), Roelfina (Ruby) Hulshof (acrylics and watercolours), Natalie Jones (watercolour pencil and coloured pencil), Maggie Madden (pastels and watercolour pencil), Edna Marlow (watercolours), Suzanne Marsden (acrylics), Patti Morgan (watercolours, pen and ink and acrylics), Lee Noseworthy (acrylics) and June Reed (acrylics and watercolour). This exhibition, when its run finishes at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville library at the end of March, will then be on display at the Art Scene Art Gallery in Spencerville for the month of April. For more information about the Art Mad Artists, please contact either Maggie Madden at 613-836-8292 or via email at mjmadden@techsavvy.com or Suzanne Marsden at 613-836-7821 or via email at suebrainpower@gmail.com.

This week’s puzzle answers in next week’s issue

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
