Fundraiser for going to World Transplant Games Special to the News
EMC sports - Samantha Eastop of Stittsville hopes to compete in the World Transplant Games in Durban, South Africa this year. This will be her third appearance at the World Transplant Games where she set the world record for her age category in 2009 with her ball throw of 42.88 metres. But for Samantha and a guardian to travel to this year’s World Transplant Games in South Africa, it is going to cost about $4,000 in transportation and registration costs. That’s why a fundraiser is being held on Sunday, March 24 at iPlay at the Sensplex in Kanata to help Samantha with some of these costs. At this fundraiser on Sunday, March 24, spots at iPlay will be sold for $10 an hour from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., with all of the proceeds going to Samantha. Those who want to arrange a playing time at this fundraiser should email helpsamgotodurban@gmail.com Samantha had a heart transplant in Nov. 1996 when she was just 19 months old. This makes her eligible to compete in the World Transplant Games. Requirements for participation are that a person has to be healthy, a member of the Canadian Transplant Association and a transplant recipient (heart, lungs, kidney, liver or bone marrow transplant). This year’s World Transplant Games in Durban, South Africa will be Samantha’s third such games. Her first was in London, Ont. in 2005 while her second was in the Gold Coast in Australia in 2009 where she set her ball throw world record. Canada also has national Transplant Games every two years but in even numbered years, unlike the World Transplant Games which are held in old numbered years. Samantha first participated in the Canada Transplant Games in Windsor in 2008. She then participated in the Canada Transplant Games in Quebec City in 2010. Due to health issues, she was unable to attend the 2012 Canada Transplant Games in Calgary, Alta. Since receiving her heart transplant as a baby, Samantha has had most of her follow-up medical appointments at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. To date she has had over 50 procedures (32 biopsies, over 10 angiograms, and a couple of scares with cancer which turned out to be benign). She had more surgeries over the summer of 2012. Samantha, who has lived in Stittsville her entire life, is very competitive and loves playing softball. She enjoys meeting new people and keeps in contact with a lot of other transplant recipients that she has met through the years.

Stittsville swimmers on relay team that breaks national record Special to the News
EMC sports - Two Stittsville swimmers are now in the Canadian record books. Seventeen year old Eric Alvarez and 16 year old Miles Ruttan, both of Stittsville, entered the Swim Canada Short Course record books with their performance at the 2013 Ontario Provincial Age Group Swimming championships at the Nepean Sportsplex on the weekend of Feb. 28-March 3. With Eric and Miles swimming in the 4 x 50 metre medley relay along with Greater Ottawa Kingfish Swim Club teammates Eli Wall, 17, and Matt Dans, also 17, the team broke the Canadian Age Group national record which had stood for the past 19 years. Finishing in a time of one minute, 43.67 seconds, the team chopped three-quarters of a second off the previous record. Miles Ruttan swam the lead off backstroke led in a time of 27.27 seconds. He was followed in the pool by Eli Wall who swam the breaststroke led in a time of 28.28 seconds. Matt Dans was next in the pool, completing the butterfly leg of the relay in a time of 24.84 seconds. Eric Alvarez finished off with the freestyle leg of the race, closing hard to record a time of 23.28 seconds. The team had been seeded first going into the 4 x 50 medley relay event on Thursday, Feb. 28 but its qualifying time of one minute, 45.83 seconds was two seconds over the national record. The team’s performance in the actual event, though, was record setting. Eric and Miles attribute the team’s record breaking performance to Greater Ottawa Kingfish Swim Club head coach Claude Yves Bertrand who motivated the team before the race and helped the swimmers by setting challeng-
ing split times for them to achieve. This national record breaking performance was not the team’s only gold medal winning swim in these Ontario Provincial Age Group Swimming Championships at the Nepean Sportsplex. On the final day of the competition on Sunday, March 3, the team of Ruttan, Wall, Dans and Alvarez continued their winning ways in the 4 x 100 medley relay, capturing another provincial gold medal. This relay swim team is fast because each member brings his speedy specialty to the race. Eli Wall is a national qualifying breaststroker while Matt Dans is a national qualifying butterfly swimmer. Eric Alvarez is close to being a national qualifier in sprint freestyle while Miles Ruttan is only tenths of a second off the national qualifying standard in backstroke. Put them all together and you spell speed and national record. Eric Alvarez is a graduate of the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville who is currently attending grade 12 in the music program at Canterbury High School in Ottawa. Miles Ruttan, who is the only 16 year old on the relay team, is a grade 11 student at John McCrae Secondary School in Barrhaven where he is in the High Performance Athlete Program. Miles, who has been swimming since the age of 8, started with the Goulbourn Aquatic Club, the forerunner of today’s Goulbourn Sea Hawks. He moved to the Nepean Kanata Barracudas and has been with the Greater Ottawa Kingfish Swim Club last June. His fastest events are the 50 metre and 100 metre backstroke. He was a multi-provincial medalist in the Long Course Championships last July and was a multi-finalist at the Eastern
Canadian Championships in February in Montreal, placing in the top ten in his age category for four events. He is now working on achieving the senior national qualifying standard in several races and then competing in the Canadian National Championships in Montreal this coming July.
Swimming runs in the Ruttan family as Miles’ sister Laura Ruttan is also a competitive swimmer. She competed in the Olympic Trials in Montreal last year and is now in her first year on a swim scholarship at the University of Connecticut, recently competing in the Big East Championships.

Trying to re-establish Biblical drumming in worship John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Drumming in church – it’s not a new concept but rather one that goes back to ancient Biblical times. And now a Stittsville resident, Rev. Dr. Betty Lynn Schwab, a retired United Church minister, is trying to encourage interest in Biblical drumming for worship, reclaiming the Christian practice of drumming as part of worship. Indeed, she is the only teacher of Biblical drumming for worship in Canada. She will be facilitating a Biblical drumming for worship workshop coming up in Stittsville on Friday, March 22, Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24. Drums will be provided, no musical train-
ing is needed and everyone is welcome to attend. Registration for the workshop, which will be held at the Stittsville United Church, is limited to 20. The registration cost is $50 per person but lunch and snacks will be provided. In a number of congregations in Canada, spiritual drumming, also known as frame drumming, has grown to become a vital component of worship. Rev. Dr. Schwab points out that frame or Biblical drumming was very much a part of the early Christian church and in Biblical times before. She notes that there are many references to frame drumming in the Old Testament, always done by women. Both the frame drum as well as a drum with jingles,
much like a tambourine of today, were used. These frame drums were played by women not only in worship but also in times when men went off to war, when women were giving birth and when people were buried. Because of its wide use in Old Testament times, Rev. Dr. Schwab has no doubt that frame drumming was part of the worship in the early Christian church. Indeed, both the Jewish and Gentile communities had frame drumming traditions. But writings of early church fathers were against frame drumming in worship, something which Rev. Dr. Schwab claims was probably because such drumming gave a role and power to women in the church. In any case,
eventually under the threat of excommunication and event death, frame drumming was eliminated from the Christian church. However, church authorities claimed frame drumming was appropriate for angels and so the frame drum began turning up in religious art. There are numerous examples of this to which Rev. Dr. Schwab can point. It took the 20th century investigations and studies by Layne Redmond of the United States to uncover the ancient role of frame drumming in worship as well as society in general. She has become an advocate for frame drumming, not only for worship but for performance purposes as well. Rev. Dr. Schwab became her student in 2003, interested particularly in the role of frame drumming in worship. Living in Saskatoon at the time, she could not encourage any interest in forming a group or reintroducing the practice in congregational worship. So, for four years, she just did Biblical frame drumming by herself in her home to help with meditation. When she moved to Toronto
in 2007 to work at the United Church’s General Council, she found fertile ground for frame drumming and she formed her first biblical drumming group. The practice has now spread elsewhere, with active Biblical drumming groups in such communities as Bracebridge and Peterborough. And is frame drumming difficult? “This kind of drumming is meant to come from the heart,� she says, noting that once a person knows some of the basic patterns or strokes which are taught at an introductory workshop, the person can do the drumming. She notes that Biblical drumming is a slow style of drumming because it is spiritually focused, not performance focused. The beat is to be as close to the human heart beat as possible, she says. She says that if a person practices a few strokes for five or ten minutes a day, the practice time will eventually extend to 20 minutes a day and beyond. “If you do a half hour a day, you’ll absolutely soar,� she says about those taking up Biblical drumming. The frame drum has also
become popular with some performance artists. Such performance drumming does not usually have the slow, deep pace of worship drumming. The upcoming Biblical drumming for worship workshop being facilitated by Rev. Dr. Betty Lynn Schwab will be held on Friday, March 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, March 23 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and Sunday, March 24 at the 10 a.m. worship service at the Stittsville United Church. Men as well as women are welcome to attend. However, frame drumming is for adults because it requires a mature hand for holding the drum. And frame drumming is fun, according to Rev. Dr. Schwab. She herself has been drumming during the reading of the gospel at the Sunday worship services at the Stittsville United Church during Lent. Rev. Dr. Schwab has a website dealing with frame drumming. It can be found at www. holyrhythms.ca. For more information about the Biblical drumming for worship workshop at the Stittsville United Church, call the church at 613-836-4962 or via email at suchurch@primus.ca.

That’s when the “A Good Read” used book store at the branch will be holding a “Big Spring Book Sale,” one of two such sales held annually. And when we say “sale,” we mean it. At this “Big Spring Book Sale,” all adult books will sell three for one dollar while teen to

And not only are you getting super prices on the books at this sale but you will be helping out the local library branches. In 2012, for instance, thanks to fundraising efforts like this “Big Spring Book Sale,” over $14,000 was able to be donated to libraries
in the Goulbourn-Rideau district. These funds were used to obtain supplies and equipment for these library branches that could not be acquired through the normal budgetary process. The “A Good Read” used book store at the Stittsville library branch is now beginning its fifth year of operation. It is operated thanks to the efforts of a group of community volunteers with volunteer Sylvia Barr serving as the manager.

We all need to heed flood warning
A
fter a winter of significant snowfall, everyone needs to take extra care around the waterways of the capital region this spring. According to the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority, the snowpack in the area is at the second-highest level recorded since measurements began in 1974, posing a significant risk to low-lying areas in the watershed. If we get significant rainfall this spring, that will only increase the flooding risk. The conservation authority indicates a flood risk is not imminent, but the conditions are ripe for there to be a significant threat as temperatures rise. Residents living in traditionally flood-prone areas are advised to watch for flood warnings that could be potentially issued by the conservation authority. This flood risk is borne not just by those who live near rivers and lakes in the area, but also by those who enjoy spending recreational time in city parks and other riverside areas. Especially at risk are children and pets, who could easily stray too close to high water and be pulled under by swift currents. This means parents need to explain the dangers to their children and keep them away from moving water. Dog owners likewise should keep their pets on a leash whenever they are near rivers
or ponds. Children and pets are also prone to venturing out on the rapidly thinning ice. Recently the Ottawa Drowning Prevention Coalition warned about the risks of thin ice, reminding residents that “one can never tell the true depth or the thickness of the ice by the colour on the surface.� The best advice is to simply stay off the ice. Emergency services responded to more than 75 ice and waterway related calls last spring, and two people drowned after falling through the ice, according to the coalition. With the increased flooding risk this spring, these numbers will only increase if people fail to remain wary of the dangers. These tragedies are something no one wants to experience and it falls to all of us to stay safe near waterways this spring. Several authorities have made clear the risks presented by high river levels and thinning ice, it is now our responsibility to ensure everyone heeds those warnings. The last thing a parent, sibling, friend or pet owner wants to do is lose a loved one. Stay aware of the risks, heed the warnings and stay away from area rivers, ponds and lakes until the threat has passed.

Examining the sad decline of the Canadian snowbird
T
here are people in this town who used to love the snow and the cold and don’t love it so much any more. It used to be that they could never get enough of it. They would look forward to skating and skiing and frolicking outdoors, coming inside only rarely to change toques and eat some soup. Going south in the winter was for sissies, these winter-lovers would say. Canada is winter, they would say, after Gilles Vigneault, and a true Canadian would never escape it. Spring was so much better if you’d endured all of winter. When spring came, you’d earned it. Not so, if you spent some of the winter months on beaches in southern climes. And then there was all that hassle about airline security and customs and lineups at the border. Why would you want to go through all that? Then, if you did, you’d just be another in the legion of snowbirds, guys with no tans wearing Bermuda shorts and lining up for dinner in Florida restaurants at five in the afternoon, hanging out with a whole bunch of people from Toronto at the Blue Jays spring training ballpark talking about bargain motels. That’s the thing about going south. You
Funny Town become a stereotype. On top of that, it costs a lot of money to be a stereotype. Why would anybody want to do that? It’s difficult to answer the question, except to say that for all of us, or at least some of us, eventually the cold wears us down. Not just the cold, but the early darkness and the lack of sunshine during the day. This being the modern age, there is a name for it — seasonal affective disorder (SAD) defined by the U.S. National Library of Medicine as “a kind of depression that occurs at a certain time of the year, usually in the winter.� The fact that there is a recognized disorder lends a kind of respectability to not liking cold and wanting to go somewhere where it isn’t.

Saying “I have to deal with my disorder� carries a lot more weight than saying “I have to fly south and go hit some golf balls and shop at factory outlets.� Furthermore, being in possession of a disorder brings with it a certain persuasiveness: while some close friends or relatives might be inclined to scoff at your stated need for warmth and sunshine, they will be a bit frightened that, should you be talked into sticking around, you might give the disorder to them. So off you go then, with your disorder and hardly any guilt feelings at all. The only proviso is that you had better be “cured� by the time you get back. It wouldn’t do to be grumping around just like you were before, only with a suntan. You should be warned, before you set off, that you may encounter other types of disorders on your travels. Frozen Foot, Or Worse, Disorder, for example. That’s one that frequently afflicts Canadians, who are so determined to enjoy the warm ocean that they spend hours standing in it, even when it’s freezing cold. The inability to admit that it the ocean is freezing cold stems from the cost of getting to it and a thrifty Canadian’s need to get his money’s worth.

An extremely common travel disorder, although not publicized much, is called Interstate affective disorder (IAD) which punishes those who travel by car. Those afflicted with IAD lose their ability to recognize whether they are in the restaurant they were in yesterday, the one they are in right now or the one they will be in tomorrow. They also lose the ability to distinguish one U.S. state from another, coming to believe that the entire nation consists of groupings of chain restaurants, hotels and gas stations scattered around an interstate interchange. Sad, is what it is.

Wrestling trio looking for community support Emma Jackson and Sydney Steele emma.jackson@metroland.com
EMC news - Three South Carleton High School athletes stand a fighting chance to become national champions this April - but only with the community’s support. Liam Crockett, Claire Lizotte and Andrea Pretty, all Grade 10 students at South Carleton High School in Richmond, are top wrestlers in their age and weight classes. On top of going to the provincial high school OFSAA championships last week, in February they won provincial gold and silver medals and a chance to attend the Juvenile/Cadet National Wrestling Championship in Saskatoon this April. But without sponsors and funding there’s little way to get them there. Claire’s mother Janice Lizotte said it will cost about $6,000 to get
the three wrestlers to the tournament. While the families will do their best to find the money, the non-profit National Capital Wrestling Club the wrestlers represent can’t offer much support. “This year, the expenses involved are greater given the location in Saskatoon which is quite expensive in terms of travel costs from Ottawa,” said club president Dean Sherratt in a letter to potential sponsors. In the end, it will come down to community and business sponsors to get the athletes in the ring April 4 to 7. “Any financial assistance provided to these outstanding men and women will be greatly appreciated and publicly acknowledged by the club,” Sherratt said. Lizotte said supporting the wrestlers also supports the club, which has been a great resource for the
three wrestlers. “It’s just run by people who love the sport, and it rubs off on the kids,” Lizotte said. “They get that dedication, too.” The trio has been unfailingly successful this season. While it’s technically an individual sport - one wrestler taking down another - the support team they’ve found at the National Capital Wrestling Club which they all joined this season has been a huge boost, Claire said - especially in the wake of Bill 115 and extra-curricular cuts at school. “The club is a lot like a family,” she said. “We’re all friends and we’re really supportive of each other.” Andrea and Claire have been wrestling since the fall of Grade 9, while Liam only started several months ago. And yet they’re already going to national competitions, placing in the top 10 in OFSAA matches and bring-
ing home gold and silver medals. This spring, their hope is to just get a chance to show Canada what they’ve got. “My goal is to do my best and give 120 per cent,” Claire said. “That way if I lose I’ll still be happy knowing I did everything I could to win and then if I actually do win it will be that much better.” The competition will be tough - much tougher than OFSAA - but worth the experience to wrestle with other athletes of their calibre. “The competition will be much more difficult because everyone has deserved to qualify and they’re all really dedicated,” Claire added. Even if they don’t make it onto the podium, Liam said the team will still consider the trip a success. “Even if you had a bad match everyone would still tell (say) you did a good job,” Liam said. “People at the
club are great supporters and motivators.” While the athletes are just getting started in their wrestling careers, all three of them said they were upset to hear that wrestling will likely be taken out of the Olympic Games in 2020. The 2020 Summer Olympics would have been their peak year for competing in the Olympics if they chose to pursue that path, Andrea said. “I hadn’t really thought about Olympics yet,” Andrea said, adding that their collective goal is to make it to the Pan Am Games in 2015. Those games will be held in Toronto, which is much more accessible than Saskatoon or an international destination. To sponsor the team or donate to their trip, contact rhondapretty@hotmail.com.

90th birthday celebration for Janetta McKenzie John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - There was a lot of fiddling around at Janetta McKenzie’s 90th birthday celebration but it added to the festive atmosphere at the event. Indeed, it was fiddling around in the best sense of the word – a group of eight fiddlers playing a variety of traditional Ottawa Valley music as well as such ironic tunes as “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,” an appropriate offering in these days approaching St. Patrick’s Day.
These eight fiddlers, accompanied by someone on guitar and another on keyboard, are the Monday Night Fiddlers, a group that meets together every second Monday, usually at someone’s house, just to jam together and play music together. One of the group is a friend of Janetta McKenzie which is how the group and its lively fiddle music became a part of her 90th birthday celebration last Sunday afternoon, March 10, in the basement hall at the Stittsville United Church in Stittsville. The hall was filled with family
and friends for the event. A table was filled with congratulatory messages for Janetta from such public figures as Governor General David Johnston, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP Gordon O’Connor, Ontario Lieutenant-Governor David Onley, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne, Carleton-Mississippi Mills Jack MacLaren, city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri. There was also a host of personal congratulatory cards from friends.
Janetta had asked that donations be given to the Stittsville Food Bank rather than any gifts for herself and so there was quite a collection of donated food items as well as monetary donations dropped off at the celebration. A giant white cake, with green and yellow trim icing, and featuring a photograph of Janetta with the wording “Happy 90th Birthday, Mom” spelled out on it was prominent at the celebration. There was also a collection of tables in the centre of the hall, filled with sandwiches and other goodies for the enjoyment of those attending the event. Janetta was born in the Hamilton Sideroad area near Almonte, with March 7th being the exact date of her birth.
In 1950, she married Bob McKenzie on a December day which experienced a big snowstorm. They lived first in Carleton Place and then Appleton before moving to Richmond where they lived for 20 years. Mr. McKenzie died in the year 2000. Janetta still lives at the Carleton Apartments in Stittsville where she has lived since 1986. She has six children – Nancy Dupuis of Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia; Robbie McKenzie of Glen Cairn; Donald McKenzie of Richmond; Kenny McKenzie of Ottawa; Ronnie McKenzie of Ottawa; and Janet Smith of Constance Bay. She also has ten grandchildren and nine great grandchildren. She is in contact with all of her children regularly, including daily phone calls from her daughter Nancy in Nova Scotia.

Singer/songwriter Mindy Amelotte at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Two instruments. One mellow, sultry voice. And while Mindy Amelotte aka Dynamite Motel which is both an anagram (the letters of her name arranged differently) and a stage name in her performance at the Friday Music Evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday accompanied herself sometimes with the guitar and sometimes with the ukulele, her haunting vocals remained a consistent throughout. She herself, though, admitted that she tends to play blues music a lot when she is strumming the ukulele as opposed to when she is playing the guitar. So, different instrument, different style of music but with that same vocal presentation. Mindy’s musical repertoire focuses on jazz and rhythm and blues, mostly original songs, but give her a ukulele and some old-school blues will emerge as well. During her performance, she switched back and forth between guitar and ukulele at times. And while she sang songs that she wrote, she also included songs made famous by such singers as American singer/songwriter Janis Joplin
and legendary jazz vocalist Ella Fitzgerald. Indeed, it is not surprising that Mindy has been a Janis Joplin fan since she was young as Janis Joplin was not only a singer/songwriter like Mindy now is but also was a painter which Mindy also is. At the beginning of her performance, in fact, Mindy commented positively on the “cool” artwork which lines one wall of the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop. This artwork, done by artist Ben Gatien, features art in a variety of sizes, all featuring musicians playing instruments and all featuring bright colours. Mindy Amelotte is a self-taught musician, singer and songwriter who has been playing the guitar and writing songs since the late 1990’s when she was a busker on the streets of Ottawa. Some have described her musical sound as mellow rhythm and blues folk jazz. The ukulele which she plays on occasion is a member of the guitar family of instruments. It is commonly associated with music from Hawaii where it was taken by Portuguese immigrants. Typically ukuleles have a figure-eight body shape similar to that of a small acoustic guitar. The Friday Music Evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza)
on Stittsville Main Street continue this coming Friday, March 15 with a performance by Gretchen Martin, a pianist and vocalist. These
Friday Music Evenings begin at 7 p.m. with free admission but those planning to attend should arrive early for the best seating.

Richmond in 2013 John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The Richmond Village Association (RVA) has community activities planned throughout 2013. First up is the annual spring cleanup effort on Saturday, April 27 when the RVA will be organizing a community-wide blitz, providing litter bags obtained through the city of Ottawa’s Clean Up The Capital program. This will be held in conjunction with a spring cleanup poster contest held in Richmond’s elementary schools. Next up will be the annual Village-Wide Garage Sale on Saturday, May 11 which the RVA organizes by putting up signs and advertising the various garage sale locations around the village on a website map as well as in promotions on websites such as Kijiji and Craig’s List. This year the RVA may host a talent show to take place on Saturday, June 15, a day on which several other activities are happening in the village. This includes the Art in the Park event of the Richmond Art Club, the annual Quilt
Show hosted by the Country Quilter shop on McBean Street, a luncheon hosted by St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street and the annual BBQ held by the Richmond Firefighters at the Richmond fairgrounds. It was suggested at the March 5 RVA meeting that perhaps some “umbrella” name should be coined for this particular day, Saturday, June 15, in Richmond so that residents would realize that it was a day of multiple events in the village. The RVA once again hopes to participate in the annual Richmond Fair parade in September. November will see the RVA hold its annual Winter Wonderland street banner art contest which will produce the banners depicting winter activities which are hung on the posts along McBean Street and Perth Street. These banners are officially unveiled at the annual Lighting of the Park ceremony at Memorial Park at the corner of Perth Street and McBean Street in early December when the Christmas lights on the trees in the park are officially
Braeside Home Furnishings
illuminated. The Lighting of the Park happens on the same day as the annual Santa Claus parade in Richmond, another event hosted by the RVA. This year the RVA may include a performance, either musical or dance, as part of the Lighting of the Park ceremony. The RVA is also contacting city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt to determine the availability of the city of Ottawa’s float for an evening rather than daytime Santa Claus parade as has been the case. It has been suggested that the Santa Claus parade in Richmond might be shifted to be an evening parade with more lights encouraged on floats. In addition, the nighttime parade would then fit in better with the annual Lighting of the Park ceremony rather than as has been the case with the parade happening at 11 a.m. and then the Lighting of the Park ceremony being a separate event at 6 p.m. The RVA decided to start thinking about all of these possibilities about the parade at its meetings this summer.

RBC Royal Bank Fernbank branch opens John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - The first customers at the new RBC Royal Bank branch at the Walmart plaza at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive when the branch opened its doors last Monday, March 11 at 9:30 a.m. was a couple who have lived across the road from the plaza since 1956. It was Tony and Lina Van Doormaal who walked through the sliding front doorway to be the first customers to visit the new branch. And this was after the senior couple had enjoyed an early morning swim at the
Kanata Wave Pool. A few minutes later, the Akhand family of Stittsville – Hadee and Shaila and their three and a half year old daughter Safwana – became the second people to visit the newly opened branch. And what did they see inside this new branch? It features a new interior design to allow for more interactive contact between staff and clients. This is the first Royal Bank branch in the Ottawa west area to reflect this new interior look and feel. To the right of the entrance are two staff/client tables where meetings of a relatively non-private nature can
take place. But if a private office is needed, there are four lined up on the right. These are not specific to any staff member as no one, not even branch manager Erin Craig, has a designated office. But when an office is needed to conduct confidential, private business, these four are available. And the four bear the intriguing name of trees – so you have Maple, Birch, Poplar and Sumac. The branch, though, also has a socalled “Discover Area,” an interactive, table top screen where the customer can pick a topic and find out on his or her own a lot about it. This
same experience can be achieved at several computer screens nearby as well. This is all about clients being able to explore and discover on their own, allowing the client to see what’s available in a certain financial area without having to talk to branch staff. But that does not mean that the staff members are not there and readily available. The staff members, easily identified by their distinctive dark blazers, will be constantly on the floor (after all, they have no permanent office space), ready to chat with and help serve clients. They will be ready to guide clients to the information being sought or help them in any of the traditional banking functions as this is a full-service branch with personal banking, safety deposit boxes, investment advice and mortgage lending. But this is not all at the new branch. In the centre of things, dead ahead across the interior as you enter the branch, is a giant digital screen which will not only flash messages but will be the focal point for the regular advice events that the branch will be holding every couple of months on different topics. These advice events, such as one planned for Saturday, March 23 about financial fraud, will make use of the screen, with chairs set up around it for viewing. This
March 23 advice event, with a speaker from the Ottawa Police Service, is free – just RSVP at the front desk or call this RBC Fernbank branch at 613-271-4080 or email elena.pak@ rbc.com or stewart.leckie@rbc.com. This new branch also has two interior ATM’s as well as a drive-thru ATM. There are also traditional interior teller stations. For the branch’s opening last Monday, yellow and blue balloons decorated the interior. There was celebratory cake which was offered to everyone and all visitors received a gift bag which included a Royal Bank water mug, a $10 gift card for Shoppers Drug Mart and a notepad and pen. There was also coffee available for everyone. While this Fernbank branch of the Royal Bank is now open, a more formal grand opening is being planned for sometime in April or May. Hours at this new Fernbank/Terry Fox Drive branch of the Royal Bank are Monday and Tuesday 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Wednesday and Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Friday 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Saturday 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. This is the same hours as the two neighbouring branches, the Royal Bank at the Jackson Trails Plaza in Stittsville and the Royal Bank branch at the plaza at the corner of Terry Fox Drive and Hazeldean Road in Kanata.

More housing starts in Goulbourn than elsewhere in Ottawa John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Goulbourn including Stittsville saw more housing starts for single detached homes in the month of February than any other area of the city of Ottawa. There were 24 single family housing starts this past February in Goulbourn. This was two more than the 22 housing starts experienced in Goulbourn a year earlier in February 2012. Kanata had 22 single family housing starts this past February, placing second behind Goulbourn in the city of Ottawa. There were 70 new housing starts for single family homes across the whole city of Ottawa this past February. While Goulbourn had 24 new housing starts for single family housing, it saw no housing starts for multiple housing units this past February. So far, in the first two months of 2013, there have been 42 new single family housing starts in Goulbourn. This is the most of any area in the city of Ottawa. However, it does lag a little behind the 2012 figure which saw 51 new single family housing starts in the first two months of 2012. There have been no multiple housing unit starts in Goulbourn in the first two months of 2013.

City is consulting on consulting Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com
EMC news – Online surveys? Twitter? Old-fashioned community meetings? The city of Ottawa wants to know how you’d like to be engaged in municipal issues. The city has never really updated its policy on how it consults with individuals and groups, said the city’s general manager of community and social services, Aaron Burry. The public consultation strategy was put together in 2004 after amalgamation. “There wasn’t a lot of work done to put that into practice or look at how we were going to do this,” Burry said. “Given everything that’s changed in terms of how our world works.” And now, technology and social media are changing the way people engage with the city. The consultation will look at how the city might be able to take advantage of those opportunities when it asks for feedback on different municipal issues and pro-
posals. “Going back 10 or 12 years ago at amalgamation, consultations were … at four locations in the city – east, west, south and one open house – and that was consultation,” Burry said. “I think we are moving beyond that and approaching it by trying different things.” The city wants to look at everything from the very beginning of the process, including what the city is hoping to achieve through consultations, how it lets residents know consultations are happening and how different city departments can use the various forms of consultations that this process will outline. Engaging the “silent majority” will be a big part of it, Burry said. Online engagement is part of that, but co-ordinating with community groups like the City for All Women Initiative helps, too. Initiative volunteers can follow the city’s consultation model and organize a smaller event that attracts residents who may not normally come out to a cityorganized meeting, especially if the session
Attention: Charlene Cressman, Special Project Officer
can be offered in another language. “We’ve seen in some of those consultations a much broader and a much stronger response that covers all areas. Not just the usual suspects,” he said. Helping people understand when and how their feedback will make an impact will also be part of the process, Burry said. For instance, some people come to city committee meetings and don’t understand their speaking time will be limited to five minutes, or that they cannot ask questions to committee members. Ensuring residents have the info to make their participation meaningful is a priority, Burry said. The city will also be looking at how other governments consult the public and offering examples of what might work in Ottawa. A strategy and a “toolkit” for city staff to use when consulting with the public will be brought to city councillors for approval in the fall, Burry said. An online survey will be available from March 25 to April 16. For more information, go to ottawa.ca and search “public engagement strategy.”

DID YOU KNOW: HISTORICAL WAR HEROES
ADAM, MILLER, KELLY
Founded in 1818, Colonel George Burke was a superintendent to the Richmond military settlement. He was previously a decorated war hero in the War of 1812. He went on to become a school trustee in Richmond, the area’s MPP and registrar for Carleton County. He was probably the most influential person in the area in the first half of the 19th century, even overshadowing Colonel John By.

Flight Lieutenant Harry McElroy of Richmond was only 21 when he was killed in action over France in 1918. He was shot down by enemy fighters while he was engaged in tree top level flying against German troops. On Parliament Hill in 1919, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross with his father receiving it from the Prince of Wales, who was later King Edward VIII. There is a plaque dedicated to Harry in St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond. A World War II hero from Richmond was Flight Lieutenant John Wilburn Garland who is an acknowledged flying ace, responsible for the destruction of five enemy aircrafts. He himself was shot down in action and ended up in a prisoner of war camp from which he made a daring escape. He was also awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross.

Want a maple syrup experience? - Visit the library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - With the arrival of spring comes maple syrup time. Canada produces more than 80 percent of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maple syrup, with the majority coming from the province of Quebec. Indeed, maple products are considered emblematic of Canada. It is not a coincidence, for example, that the sugar mapleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s red leaf is depicted on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flag. This is the time for maple syrup production and if you are unable to get out to a sugar bush this spring, you can at least get a flavour not of maple syrup itself but of the maple syrup making process at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library thanks to photographer Patrick Bourke.
An exhibition of his photographs entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sugaring Downâ&#x20AC;? is on display for the month of March at the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville library branch. This exhibition provides a photographic rendering of the iconic Canadian production of maple syrup. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winter Solstice,â&#x20AC;? a photograph showing a log cabin/sugar shanty. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bear Claw,â&#x20AC;? portraying an icicle that exists in the form of what could be the claw of a bear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sugaring Downâ&#x20AC;? is the next photograph in this series of seven, showing sap boiling in a steaming vat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eye of the Worldâ&#x20AC;? captures a glistening drop of sap on a tap in a tree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Skylightâ&#x20AC;? is a photograph of a forest scene with sap buckets on trees, a little snow on the ground and a hazy sunlight slanting over the scene.
The Richmond Cooperative Nursery School is holding an open house on Wednesday, March 27 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Nursery School premises at St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond. Meet the teachers, talk to other families, learn
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snowboardâ&#x20AC;? shows a pile of cut wood piled up in a snow covered forest environment. This photograph was juried and chosen for the 2012 exhibition â&#x20AC;&#x153;Selectionsâ&#x20AC;? at the Shenkman Art Gallery in Orleans. And finally there is a photograph entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;State of the Artâ&#x20AC;? which shows a tap in a tree with a drop of sap ready to fall into the waiting sap bucket below. This exhibition also includes a montage of seven small photographs showing people involved in the maple syrup industry while in the adjacent display case, there is an assortment of photographs, some smaller or similar versions of the framed ones on the Art Space Wall. Photographer Patrick Bourke, who has one of his photographs entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sea of
Wheatâ&#x20AC;? in the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Metamorphosisâ&#x20AC;? exhibit at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville, does all types of photographic work but particularly loves shooting landscapes as he views them as a way of interpreting Canada through his work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An image has to be able to tell a story,â&#x20AC;? he has said and these photographs related to maple syrup making now on the Art Space Wall at the Stittsville library do just that. They tell the story of a Canadian tradition and industry that goes back to the indigenous people of northeastern North America, long before Europeans arrived on the scene. These indigenous people showed the arriving European colonists how to tape the trunks of certain types of maple trees dur-

ing the spring thaw to harvest the sap and make maple syrup from it. Maple syrup production methods have been streamlined since colonial days but have remained basically unchanged. Sap is collected and boiled down to obtain pure syrup. Maple trees are usually tapped at 30 to 40 years of age, with the average maple tree producing 35 to 50 litres of sap per season. This is about seven percent of its total sap production. The maple syrup season lasts from four to eight weeks usually, depending on the weather. As the weather warms, a maple treeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal early spring biological process eventually alters the taste of the sap, making it unpalatable for maple syrup making. Photographer Patrick

Having fun with pottery at ‘The Pottery Playhouse’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
R0011969964
EMC news - It’s called “The Pottery Playhouse” and the name says it all. It’s where families, children and, really anyone, can go and have fun custom decorating and painting pottery. It is, in effect, a place where people can play with pottery. Hence the most appropriate name. It is not a pottery supplies shop or a shop geared to the serious potter. Rather, it is where youngsters can go for birthday parties, where children can decorate ceramic pieces which will be glazed and kiln fired for later pickup or where adults can celebrate baby showers, bridal showers, anniversaries, club meetings, family gatherings and holiday parties, choosing from a wide selection of ceramic pieces to decorate such as mugs, dinner plates, bowls and other seasonal pieces. But you don’t need to be a group and make a reservation for an event at “The Pottery Playhouse” which is located in the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. You can drop in at any time that the shop is open which is Monday to Thursday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 12 noon to 5 p.m. “The Pottery Playhouse” will be holding a summer camp program for youngsters, with weekly themes such as “Under the Sea,” “Christmas in July,” and “Monsters.” These themes open up doing a variety of ceramic items such as sharks, sailboats, dragons, and lizards. “The Pottery Playhouse” opened quietly this week following a final city of Ottawa inspection of the premises last Friday. It is celebrating an opening weekend this Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17. This new business is very much a family business, operated by Debrah Rothenberg, a Kanata resident, who has had previous experience managing such a shop. Also involved are her daughter Alexandra, 17, and her son Austin, 13 while her husband Scott is a silent participant, looking after some office functions. She said that she chose to locate “The Pottery Playhouse” in Stittsville
because of the community’s booming growth, particularly with families. She looked at three locations in Stittsville, selecting the Stittsville Shopping Centre premises formerly occupied by the Art Mad shop. The selection of the name “The Pottery Playhouse” came about as a result of a very democratic family exercise. Each family member suggested three possible names and then everyone voted on them. “The Pottery Playhouse” was chosen among the top three possibilities by all of the family members. When a check showed that the name was unused in Canada, the decision was made and “The Pottery Playhouse” became the store’s name. Ms. Rothenberg points out that decorating ceramics does not require artistic talents because of the specialty paints, stencils and other artistic aids that are available now. “You don’t have to have an artistic bone in your body,” she says. Acrylic paints make the process JOHN CURRY/METROLAND more forgiving and if worse comes to worse, the paint can be sanded off Debrah Rothenberg holds a painted ceramic church as she stands beside some of the other greenware on hand for painting at the new “The Pottery Playhouse” at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug and a person can start over.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stormâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of controversy around SC junior team Special to the News
EMC sports - The South Carleton High School Storm junior boys basketball team lived up to its name this season as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stormâ&#x20AC;? of controversy emerged when the team had to forfeit games because of an ineligible, overage player. This dropped the team from having one of the top records in the National Capital Secondary School Athletic Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (NCSSAA) tier one junior boys basketball league with a record of four wins and two losses to a last place standing with one win and five losses, three of them on-court victories which became off-court losses. This eliminated the team from playoff action. What really fed the controversy was the refusal of the NCSSAA to hold a Board of Appeal over the situation. Such an appeal of NCSSAA decisions can consider mitigating circumstances affecting a decision. But the NCSSAA rules that there was no compelling reason to warrant an appeal hearing, although the NCSSAA is taking steps to ensure better oversight of team rosters regarding the eligibility of players. Paul Stewart, a parent of one of the Storm players, was outraged with the lack of transparency and process in the whole affair. JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a flawed system in need of a total overhaul,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our students and community deserve far better representation and service than this.â&#x20AC;?

The error was not noticed until after the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth game of the season. The error was not picked up by the NCSSAA convenor or school officials. But once the error was realized, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent volunteers took action and the overage player was withdrawn from the team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were totally forthright and transparent with our error,â&#x20AC;? says parent volunteer Dee Whitmore. She notes that it was an honest mistake made by volunteers trying to provide basketball for the students. Ottawa Carleton District School Board trustee Lynn Scott was brought into the loop and she expressed frustration with the NCSSAA system after investigating the NCSSAA rules and organizational structure. Since the NCSSAA is an independent organization involving individuals from a number of different school boards, with its own constitutions, bylaws and operational rules, it falls outside the control of any school board. She is disappointed that the NCSSAA refused to hear any appeal in light of the circumstances pertaining to extracurricular activities in Ottawa Carleton District School Board schools this year. She pledged to help seek improvements in NCSSAAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s processes and their transparency. Indeed, at a recent Committee of the Whole meeting of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board, trustee Scott proposed a motion that the Board request the NCSSAA to review its rules and guidelines for greater transparency and ease of use by parent and community volunteers engaged in supporting extracurricular activities in high schools and also to improve its processes for verifying JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND player eligibility at the beginning of the season for each sport to avoid in-season disqualifications of teams for having ineligible players. She acknowledges that such actions will be too late to remedy the SCHS Storm situation this year but that improvements in the NCSMembers of the South Carleton High School Storm senior boys basketball team which played the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior SAA processes might be put in place for next year. team in a recent exhibition game are, front row, kneeling, from left, Connor Chisholm, Justin Spencer, James The SCHS junior boys basketball team, while out of the playoffs, Gougeon and Brad Russell; and, back row, standing, from left, assistant coach Joe Ireland, assistant coach Paul did have one last time on the court when the team played an exhibiMcDonald, Brock McDonald, Geoff Emmett, Tyler Scott, Allie Byck, Daniel Currie, Jordan Ghadban, Ben Streatch tion game against the SCHS senior boys basketball team at South and coach Mitch Marks.

Retreat day at Sacred Heart John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - It was a grade seven and eight retreat day at Sacred Heart Catholic High School last Friday but it sure didn’t mean retreating from the world. In fact, the day, which included 18 workshops on various topics in the morning and an afternoon keynote address about the water crisis in the world, was anything but about retreating from the world – it was more about being engaged in the world in one way or another and making a difference. Grade seven and eight students had the opportunity in the morning of attending three hour-long workshops, selected from the 18 being offered. At one of these, students learned about the work of the OK Clean Water Project which is marking its tenth anniversary in 2013. It involves a partnership between an Ottawa-based volunteer group and a community in the Kumbo area in Cameroon in Africa. Together they work to provide access to clean water for villagers by facilitating the laying JOHN CURRY/METROLAND of pipes that bring fresh spring water from hillside sources Stephanie Coward-Yaskiw, right, of Amnesty International goes over some of the human rights discussed at her presentation to local storage tanks.

Students told they can make a difference John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade seven and eight students were told by keynote speaker Nathalie Selles at their retreat last Friday that they can make a difference and, indeed, have already made a different. They were reminded that a recent penny drive at the school for Free The Children means that over 40 people in the developing world will gain access to clean water. Ms. Selles gave a visual and verbal presentation to the students assembled in the school’s theatre in the afternoon as a spokesperson for the
H20 4U cross country speaking tour focused on water and sponsored by the Royal Bank’s Blue Water Project, a ten year, $50 million commitment to help protect fresh water and to ensure access to clean drinking water both in Canada and around the world. She was introduced by Stittsville Royal Bank manager Richard Langford. Sacred Heart is one of 70 schools across Canada, involving more than 20,000 students, whose students are having the opportunity to hear from keynote speakers like Ms. Selles about local and global water issues, to understand how daily actions can help conserve and protect water and to learn how they can assist in pro-
viding clean water and educational programs overseas. Ms. Selles gave an overview of the work of Free The Children, an international charity that works in over 40 countries. “We believe in a world where all children are free from exploitation and poverty,” Ms. Selles said about Free The Children, adding that the organization also believes youth can make a difference. She told about her own journey of discovery, being shocked at seeing homeless people in the street in cold weather in Montreal and discovering that there are over 150,000 and probably more homeless people in Canada. She also noted that there are over 400,000 people in Ontario who use a food bank every month. She said that more research showed her that around the world, there are over 120 million children who go to work rather than school because their families are too poor and need the income.
Ms. Selles noted that one in five children in the world have no access to clean water, with half of the world’s population living on one or two dollars a day income. While the earth is known as the “blue” planet because of its extensive bodies of water, 97 percent of the earth’s water is salty, with only about 2.5 percent of the earth’s water resources being fresh water. Only half of this fresh water is drinkable, so water is a precious resource, Ms. Selles said. She urged the students to set a goal for themselves and then do it. She told how Craig Kielburger, as a Canadian youth, set about to stop the exploitation of children in the world in founding Free The Children. She told about how she herself, a bike lover, accomplished a personal challenge of biking from Montreal to Vancouver, a distance of 5,000 kilometers, in 60 days. She said that Free The Children believes that education is the solu-
tion to breaking the cycle of poverty in the world but this involves more than building schools. Clean water must be provided to communities so that young girls do not have to spend the day travelling to a faraway location to gather water. . It involves helping improve health services and providing alternative income sources for families so that children can go to school, not work. She said that through education, water, health, alternative income and food security, communities in the world can break out of poverty and experience sustainable development. Ms. Selles issued three challenges to the students: always remember the 3 R’s when dealing with products and water – reduce, reuse and recycle; participate in Free The Children campaigns which aim to help those suffering from human rights abuses in the world; and get involved by protecting and preserving fresh water and conserving water in the school, at home and in the community.

Workshops at retreat day Continued from page 31
This eliminates the need of local residents relying on polluted stream water and walking long distances to access such water. All of the on-site work of digging the trenches and laying the pipes is done by local residents. A total of 34 villages to date have benefitted from the OK Clean Water Project. Carmel Horan, a retired teacher who is involved with the OK Clean Water Project and has visited the Kumbo area in Cameroon, told about a primary school and a birthing centre in Kumbo who both now have access to nearby clean water thanks to the OK Clean Water Project. The OK Clean Water Project insists that local residents are trained in how to look after the installed water system so that the system is sustainable over the long run. The workshop ended with groups of students preparing posters listing good uses and abuses of water. The people in Cameroon can teach us a lot about using water well, Ms. Horan told the students. Another of these one-hour long morning workshops dealt with the work of the Canadian Hunger Foundation (CHF), specifically in South Sudan which is the world’s newest country. CHF volunteer Jennifer Fieldhouse told the students that while an individual may not be able to impact much change in the world, people working together as a community have a lot of strength and can make a huge impact in the world. CHF works in over 50 of the poorest countries in the world with the organization focusing on encouraging and using people’s strengths, not focusing on what has gone wrong. It was pointed out that half of the world’s population was not meeting its basic human needs of clean water, food, shelter, education and medical care. South Sudan, created in July 2011 after 21 years of civil war, is a landlocked African country bordered by Ethiopia, the Congo, the Central African Republic and Sudan. It has oil resources, wildlife appropriate to the development of tourism and fertile land for growing crops. Despite these resources, South Susan has extreme poverty because of the civil war, the lack of infrastructure and inadequate financial resources for the new government. CHF has been working in the South Sudan area since 1999, first trying to reduce the danger from land mines used in the war and also in improving maternal and child health, reducing the high rate of child mortality. The students got to play a Jeopardy-like game on the Smart Board screen, dealing with categories such
as Nutrition and Health, Words and Phrases and Coping Strategies. Students also participated in an activity in which they picked two gifts that could be provided to families in South Sudan to help their situation and make things more sustainable. Gifts included such things as chickens, a Mango fruit tree and a goat. Another of the morning workshops was one presented by Stephanie Coward-Yaskiw from the national office of Amnesty International and a longtime volunteer with the organization. The workshop dealt with identifying what is a human right. No one gives human rights to us, Ms. Coward-Yaskiw said. “They are ours because we are human.” She said that human rights are not supposed to be taken away from people but she acknowledged that they are
taken away all the time around the world. Human rights include education, security of body, choosing your government, freedom of speech, nutrition and hygiene, the ability to make choices and being able to participate in your culture, among other things. She told about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 with its 30 articles outlining rights and freedoms. She emphasized that it is important to know what human rights are so that you know when they are being violated. “These affect our lives every single day, “ Ms. Coward-Yaskiw told the students in the workshop. She cited examples of events and happenings where human rights are involved such as the proposed Keystone pipeline in the United States (the right to a healthy environment is a human right), the selection of a new Pope in Rome (the right to practice a religion) and the Syrian civil war
(the right to freedom and security of person). Amnesty International works on human rights issues every day. This can range from fighting to free political prisoners to campaigning against the death penalty to eliminating torture in the world to fighting for women’s rights as well as the rights of indigenous peoples. She explained that people can make a difference through an organization like Amnesty International by combining their voices and telling governments and others that something is wrong and is a violation of human rights. Such united action can make a difference, she said. She urged the students to be aware of what’s going on in the world and to take action to make a difference in some way. Among the other workshops were ones dealing with Engineers Without Borders, Restorative Circle Justice, the Ottawa Mission, Development and peace, Grandmothers to Grand-
mothers, land mines and Watercan. Students were involved in the organization of the workshops, serving as student liaison assistants for the various speakers and presenters. Students who carried out this function included Stephen Wiesenberg, Kaylyn Wallis, Emma Fiorentino, Adam Duschene, Samantha Dizon, Chanel Rehman, Tyler Ruddick, Sarah Dimpengi, Reilly Moore, Abby Landry, Etienne Boucher, Nico McGrevey, Abbie Jackson, Niels Whitesell, Vanessa Veranda, Erin Boyne, Jessica Perigo, Danielle Sinclair and Mauro Visoso. Students who served as greeters in the school atrium, welcoming the speakers and presenters as they arrived at the school, were Elena Brown, Sophie Shavrnoch and Brianna Watt. Students Sean Rossell and Amanda Maniraho handled photography duties for the event while tech help was given by students Joelle Dionne and Elizabeth Murry.

Historical Society meets Motivational speaker Special to the News
EMC news - Goulbourn of the past will come alive through the voices of Linda Preston and Cheryl McCoy at the March program event of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

Celebration plans for Richmond anniversary John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of the founding of Richmond will be taking place in the year 2018. The Richmond Village Association (RVA) is beginning to work on organizing these celebrations which will probably take place on a June weekend in 2018. Another possibility is the August long weekend that year but it is felt that June might be preferable because it can attract families and children before the summer holidays come. RVA president Judy Wagdin commented at
the March 5th RVA meeting that one suggestion has been the development of a historical play, with students at South Carleton High School in Richmond performing it. Another possible project will be another mural to add to the series of historical murals already in the Richmond Heritage Mural Gallery on the outside walls of the Richmond Memorial Community Centre in Richmond. Attempts are also being made to have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police musical ride and the Ontario Provincial Police Golden Helmets motorcycle demonstration team appear in Richmond in 2018 as part of the bicentennial celebrations.. Richmond was founded in 1818.

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK
Emerson said there was something wrong with my head. He thought it probably had something to do with the bump I got when I fell out of a tree. My sister Audrey said to pay him no heed. She said I was right as rain, which certainly eased my mind. But Emerson said anyone who took to animals that weren’t quite right had to have a screw loose. There was no doubt I seemed to be especially fond of any farm animal that came into the world a bit different from the ordinary. Emerson pointed to my pet chicken. I called her Biddy. Now, what made Biddy very different from the flock was she didn’t have a feather on her body. She had a sort of cuff of down around her neck, but that was it as far as feathers were concerned. Her body was a soft pink, smooth as a china plate and I loved her with all my heart. Biddy and I spent hours together. When the summer sun was hot, she sat on my knee in the old wood swing in the grape arbour, as I tried to keep her out of the sun, because one day her skin turned as red as a beet. As we rocked in the swing, Biddy would fall sound asleep in minutes. I thought she was beautiful. Emerson said she was a freak. Then there was Lambie. She was black as ink and in a flock as white as the driven snow, was an immediate outcast. I adopted Lambie immediately. As well as being black when she was born, Father doubted she would see morning -- she was tiny and had trouble breathing. After sleeping in the house by

She followed me everywhere and eventually had to be kept in the barn after Mother announced there would be no more sheep in the house. Then there was old Harry With The Heaves, as he was called. Harry was a dark brown horse with a questionable ancestry. He was very old and had what we called a sway-back. Emerson said you could lay a bale of hay in the middle of his back. He wasn’t much good for working, but like all the other misfits that came into being on the farm, I loved old Harry With The Heaves with a deep passion. With the least exertion old Harry would heave like he was taking his last breath, so he was never put to work. He mainly sought a cool place in the summer, with his head almost touching the ground and standing perfectly still, and in the winter stayed in the warmth of the barn. Sometimes I would hitch him up to the cutter and take a few cuts around the barnyard. But they were few indeed, because within minutes he was heaving like his time had come. I would unhitch him, use the currycomb on him, make sure he had water to drink and a patch of hay to chew on, and hug his neck and tell him how much I loved him. I was sure he knew what I was saying. Now, a horse with the heaves isn’t much good to a farmer, so I dreaded the day Father would say Harry’s time had come. I decided I had to have a talk with Father. I waited for just the right time. As he did every night before he

Eggs Benedict recipe featuring More liveable city for seniors both whole grains and asparagus Continued from page 47
newscanada.com Special to the News
EMC lifestyle - It’s a sure sign of spring when the first bunches of Canadian asparagus appear at the neighbourhood market. Local produce is the freshest you can buy and is always a healthy, nutritious choice. Adding freshly picked, locally grown asparagus into your breakfast or brunch is a simple, unexpected way to energize your body with essential vitamins and minerals and start the day off right. Fibre is also an essential nutrient and a vital part of healthy eating. Did you know that one slice of bread contains as much fibre as one cup of asparagus? Sufficient fibre helps you maintain a healthy weight as it keeps you feeling full longer without adding extra calories. This eggs Benedict recipe, with asparagus and whole grains, is high in fibre and uses fresh, locally grown produce has everything you want to get you going in the morning. Prep time: 30 minutes. Total time: 35 minutes. Serves six. Ingredients 1 package dry hollandaise sauce mix 24-30 asparagus spears
6 eggs 15 ml (1 tbsp) white vinegar 6 slices whole grain bread, toasted 6 slices swiss cheese 12 slices peameal bacon, cooked as per package directions Salt and pepper Preparation Cook the hollandaise sauce according to package directions. Keep warm. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for two to three minutes, until tender crisp and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then lower the heat to keep the water just simmering. Stir in the vinegar. Working one egg at a time, crack into a small cup and gently drop into the simmering water. Once all eggs have been added to the pot, cook until the desired doneness is achieved, about three to four minutes for medium poached. Remove the eggs from pot with a slotted spoon. Place two slices of peameal bacon on each slice of toast, top with a slice of cheese, a layer of blanched asparagus, and a poached egg. Drizzle with desired amount of hollandaise sauce on the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
The older adult plan is a framework to look at how the city can “empower and support” its older residents, Watson said. From lengthening the walk time on pedestrian signals to putting out more yellow boxes of grit for residents to use on sidewalks, there many small and large ways the city can better support seniors, said Bay Coun. Mark Taylor, chairman of the city’s community and protective services committee. Taylor also highlighted a new city initiative – the Older Adult Activity Guide, which is published on ottawa.ca and in hard copy. It’s a compendium of all recreational services and programs the city offers for older residents and it’s something people asked for during consul-
tations on the older adult plan, Taylor said. As a capital city, Ottawa has a unique position to take on a leadership role and provide an example for other municipalities on how to become age friendly, Yach said. “Let’s build a community that respects elders and allows them to remain engaged in their communities,” she said. In a video message, James Beard of the World Health Organization congratulated Ottawa on becoming part of the global “momentum” to integrate age-friendly policies in all aspects of city planning. As a member of the World Healthy Organization’s network, Ottawa will have access to international experts on aging and a chance to take part in collaborative activities with other age-friendly communities.

50 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, March 14, 2013
EMC news - Two community blood donor clinics are coming up, one in Richmond and one in Stittsville. These blood donor clinics are being held by Canadian Blood Services. The ďŹ rst one will be held on Friday, March 22 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the St. Philip Catholic Church parish hall at the corner of Fortune Street and Burke Street in Richmond. There will also be a blood donor clinic held on Wednesday, March 27 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the gymnasium at Holy Spirit Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. To book an appointment at either of these community blood donor clinics, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Walkins are welcome but booking an appointment helps Canadian Blood Services better plan the clinic and manage the time of all involved, including the donor. All blood donations at these clinics will be most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Canadian Blood Services, which organizes these community blood donor clinics, is a national, not-for-proďŹ t charitable organization that manages the blood supply in all provinces and territories in Canada except for Quebec. A separate organization, HemaQuebec, operates in the province of Quebec. Canadian Blood Services organizes more than 22,000 community blood donor clinics across Canada each year. It collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions. Canadian Blood Services was created in 1998 as a successor to the Canadian Red Cross blood donation program and the Canadian Blood Agency.

Bronze medal for Vikas Gill EMC sports - Sacred Heart High School graduate Vikas Gill has won a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) men’s basketball championship bronze medal. Vikas, a six foot, seven inch forward, is in his second season playing basketball for the University of Ottawa GeeGees who last Sunday won the bronze medal game at the CIS men’s basketball championships at Scotiabank Place in Kanata. The Gee-Gees defeated the University of Acadia Axemen 92-85 in overtime for this bronze medal victory.

Vikas Gill kept bronze medals from two Sacred Heart High School graduates who play for the Acadia Axemen, Sean Stoqua

The University of Ottawa Gee-Gees had gone into the eight team CIS men’s basketball championship at Scotiabank Place last weekend ranked third in the country, behind top ranked Carleton University Ravens, the eventual champions, and the second ranked Cape Breton Capers. The Acadia Axemen had gone into the championship tournament ranked fifth in the country, with Anthony Ashe have been selected as an Atlantic University Sport Conference second team all-star and Sean Stoqua leading the team in assists per game over the course of the season. Vikas Gill, Sean Stoqua and Anthony Ashe all played basketball for Sacred Heart High School teams during their high school years at the school. All three are from Stittsville.
Sacred Heart Huskies capture championship Special to the News
championship series marked 13 straight victories for the Huskies this season without a loss. The Huskies compiled a perfect record of ten wins and no losses in the regular season, following this up with a 6-0 win over All Saints High School in semi-final playoff action before entering the championship series against the Nepean High School Knights. This season went much the same as last season for the Sacred Heart Huskies. Last year, in winning the NCSSAA championship as well, the Huskies compiled a similar regular season record of ten wins and no losses. However, last year, the Huskies had lost the first game of the championship series against the St. Pius X-Men 1-0 in a shootout after overtime had decided nothing. The Huskies, though, then came back to win two straight games and capturing the championship, defeating St. Pius 3-2 and then winning 4-1 in the deciding third game of the series.
Upper Jock River Race on April 6 Special to the News
EMC news - Spring is coming and with it, the annual Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race. This year’s race has been set for Saturday, April 6. Last year it was held on Saturday, March 31 with 60 canoes, 30 kayaks and one paddleboard as entries on a warm, sunny day with good water levels in the river. This race has been annual event since 1996, attracting anywhere from 76 to 140 entries in a particular year. The majority of entries are in the creational classes. A standup paddleboard class was added in 2012. Due to the increasing number of kayaks in recent years, the race name was modified to
be the Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race. The race was initially sponsored by the former township of Goulbourn and then by the city of Ottawa until 2003. A group of volunteers now organizes the race. The starting area for the race on this 12.6 kilometer section of the Jock River is on Munster Road south of Franktown Road west of Richmond. A few minutes downstream from the starting line is a shallow rapid followed shortly by a chute of fast water. The river then flows past open fields before a number of sharp bends signal the beginning of the Richmond Fen, a wetland area that can have numerous log jams. The first appearance of
the railway line on the south side of the river marks the end of the fen, after which the river widens out considerably. Just past the Richmond Centennial Golf Club on the north side of the river, there is a long class one rapid that challenges race entrants. There is then a stretch of wide river before there is another long set of class one rapids which are dotted with rocks. The finish line at Jock River Park in Richmond is beyond these rapids. For more information about this year’s Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race on Saturday, April 6, check out the website www.jockriverrace.ca or contact John Hiley of the organizing committee at 613-838-5327.
