Good Friday Special to the News

EMC news - Good Friday, this Friday, March 29, will see Good Friday Walks happening in both Stittsville and Richmond.. For the second year now, a Good Friday Procession will take place in Stittsville. This year’s Good Friday Procession will begin at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street with a brief worship service at 9:30 a.m. The procession, leaving St. Andrew’s, will proceed with a cross along Stittsville Main Street, stopping briefly at St. Thomas the Apostle Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street before proceeding on to the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street where a brief concluding service will be held, probably sometime around 11:30 a.m. This year’s Good Friday Procession in Stittsville is following a reverse route from last year’s inaugural event when walkers left from Stittsville United Church and finished at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. Everyone is most welcome to participate in this Good Friday Procession. The annual Good Friday Walk will take place in Richmond while a Good Friday Procession will be happening in Stittsville. The Good Friday Walk in Richmond, which has been held annually for about two decades, will begin at 10:30 a.m. at St. Philip Catholic Church at the corner of Fortune Street and burke Street in Richmond. The Walk, carrying a wooden cross, will then make stops at the other churches in the village, going to St. John the Baptist Anglican Church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, St. Paul’s United Church and ending at the Grace Assembly Pentecostal Church at the Richmond Plaza. Everyone is most welcome to participate in this Good Friday Walk.

Ice cream parlour opening in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Spring is coming to Stittsville and so is some of the area’s best homemade ice cream. That’s because Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream, long a fixture in the Byward Market in downtown Ottawa, is opening an ice cream parlour in Stittsville. In fact, this new ice cream parlour will feature not only the hard ice cream for which Lois ‘N’ Frima’s is best known (it was proclaimed as Canada’s best ice cream in 1987) but also soft ice cream and a host of other ice cream

treats like banana splits, blizzards, milk shakes, sundaes and more. And this is all happening as of this Thursday, March 28 when the new ice cream parlour is quietly opening. This new Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour is located at the rear of the recently opened “Heads Up” Barber Shop at the west end of the Ultramar gas bar plaza on Stittsville Main Street. And there’s a good reason for that, because the Frima of Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream is Frima Olszynko, wife of Frank Olszynko, the longtime barber who opened the “Heads

Up” Barber Shop. A new door has been installed in the side of the building, right around the corner from the barber shop’s front, providing access to the ice cream parlour. Renovations to the space now occupied by the new ice cream parlour have been going on and have transformed the space into a bright, cheery location with pink, blue and white colours predominating – an ideal setting for serving one of life’s great treats, ice cream. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream specializes in homemade hard ice cream with a wide variety of flavours, even more than

the selection offered in the downtown location since there is more space in this new Stittsville location. The ice cream features natural flavouring and will be competitively priced. “Our specialty is hard,” Frank Olszynko says about Lois ‘N’ Frima’s ice cream, all hand scooped. Indeed, five youth have been hired to work at the ice cream parlour. There will be gluten free and also sugar free ice cream as well as soft ice cream. There also will be ice cream available to take home and there will also be cakes. See ICE CREAM, page 6

Rotary Club hears about WaterCan John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Last Friday, March 22 was World Water Day, designated by the United Nations back in 1993 as an annual day to highlight the importance of fresh water and to advocate for its sustainable management. Indeed, even today, over one billion people in the world lack access to clear water, resulting in 3.4 million lives lost annually including 4,000 children per day. So it certainly was timely, although not tied in with World Water Day 2013, for the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville to have a guest speaker at its regular weekly meeting on Tuesday, March 19 who spoke about a Canadian organization that helps the poorest people in the world get access to clean water. The guest speaker was Karen Meades, a member of the Board of Directors and current treasurer of WaterCan, a Canadian-based charity dedicated to helping the world’s poorest people gain access to clean water, basic sanitation and hygiene education. She told about a group trip organized by WaterCan that she went on last February, visiting Uganda which is one of the countries in Africa where WaterCan works. The group visited both rural and urban areas where WaterCan, working with a local organization, had a project, either completed or planned. She explained that although WaterCan might install a toilet for better sanitation in a community, the installation needed to be accompanied by education, particularly for youngsters in schools as they are more open to the change and they also take the knowledge home to their

parents. There are also cultural barriers to better sanitation, such as the practice of children depositing their feces anywhere around the home property. Mothers allow and like this because it tells them that the child is eating sufficiently. “There’s messaging everywhere in the schools that sanitation is attainable,” Ms. Meades told the Rotary Club members, including messages to wash hands after using the toilet. She noted that in every project involving WaterCan, it partners with a local group or organization. This is because the facility that is built has to be maintained going into the future, something that falls to the local group to ensure. Ms. Meades related how some communities get their water from what she called “muddy puddles” which are sometimes several kilometers away, requiring a long walk carrying the water. She said that many children die of disease as a result of the unclean water. WaterCan in its projects turns such a situation into one where clean water is made accessible thanks to a local well that will serve hundreds of people in one area. “It changes their life,” she explained. She said that while the rural situations seemed to be almost sustainable, she found the crowded urban settings the most unsettling on the trip. She noted that the urban population is exploding but that the infrastructure does not exist to handle it, resulting in extensive slums in cities like Kampala. Ms. Meades said that what she learned from this trip to Uganda was profound in the sense that she came to realize just how blessed and wealthy people living in Canada are. She herself has a long record of helping oth-

ers but she got involved with WaterCan after meeting Margaret Trudeau, the wife of the late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, at an International Women’s Day event. Ms. Trudeau is the honorary chair of WaterCan. This meeting sparked Ms. Meades’ interested in WaterCan and she joined its Board of Directors about a year before her trip to Uganda. She said that the efforts of WaterCan in Uganda feels “daunting” and almost futile in some respects in that country of 30 million people where there is so much need for clean water and better sanitation but she noted that there are also other non-government agencies like Ryan’s Well working in the country, trying to improve conditions. An accountant by training, she asked to and did get to see the financial books of the partner organizations in Uganda. She reported that although the financial books were manually based, she was able to see that the partner organizations were being accountable for the funds that they receive from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) thanks to their involvement with WaterCan. Karen Meades, who has been chosen by the

Women’s Executive Network among its “Top 100 Most Powerful Women in Canada” on several occasions and was selected as one of the “Top 40 under 40” by the Ottawa Business Journal in 2003, is currently Chief Financial Officer at the Medical Council of Canada. She also runs her own consulting company which provides senior executive-level expertise to corporations. She is also president of Ottawa Health Services Network Inc., an organization that she founded after she had an opportunity in 1998, when Chief Financial Officer at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, to work with the Inuit in Canada’s North and see for herself the effects of substance abuse for the Inuit. Ms. Meades has accepted numerous personal challenges in her life: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania; running a seven day, 220 kilometer endurance race in the Amazon jungle in Brazil; running an endurance race across the Sahara Desert in Morocco; and swimming from Alcatraz to San Francisco. In her work, she has 20 years of experience, ranging from auditing with Price Waterhouse to being Chief Financial Officer at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.

‘Head-in-Hole’ entries wanted Special to the News

EMC news - The Goulbourn Museum wants a “Head-in-Hole” prop for use at its upcoming War of 1812 tribute event this coming June. So it is turning to high school students at Goulbourn schools for help. The Museum is holding an art contest open to students in grades 9 through 12 who live in or attend school in Goulbourn. This includes private school and home schooled students as well. Students entering the contest are asked to submit artwork on the theme “Soldiers of the War of 1812”. The origi-

nal artwork can be the work of one student or of a team of students up to ﬁve in number. The artwork must be submitted on a white 8 ½ inch by 11 inch sheet of paper. Each submission must include at least one Union jack ﬂag, one War of 1812 soldier, at least two blank spots for heads at different heights and feature the words “War of 1812.” These initial artwork sketches will then be judged by a panel of judges from the Goulbourn Museum with one winner selected. This will be done by Friday, April 19. The winning artist or artists will then be pro-

As supervising librarian, she oversees the programs at the local branches of the Ottawa Public library including branches in Stittsville, Richmond, North Gower and Manotick. She started working at the Ottawa Public Library in 2007, beginning as a casual librarian. Over the years, she has worked her way up to her current position. One of the program with which Catherine is involved is the Summer Reading Club. “Summer Reading Club goes all summer long, starting in June,” Catherine says. Participants sign up, pledging

to read books during the summer. “Every time they read a book, they get to put one marble into a jar for every book they read,” Catherine explains. To promote the Summer Ready Club to children, Catherine does presentations at the schools in the area. “We do the presentation in the gym, so we’re talking to 600 kids all at once which is interesting,” she says. This Summer Reading Club program takes place in all library branches across the area. The library branches also offer programs for adults, such as the e-reader help session that is coming up. “A lot of people come into the library with their e-readers or tablets and not knowing

The blank areas left for the faces will be cut out by Museum staff to produce the finished “headin-hole” prop which then will be used as the setting for photographs taken at the Museum’s War of 1812 tribute event in June. Upon completion of this “head-in-hole” full length painting, the winning student or student will receive credit for 30 volunteer community service hours, a letter of reference, a $100 award and publicity coverage.

Stittsville Vipers win Roger’s House Tournament Special to the News

EMC sports - Winning the peewee division of Roger’s House Year End Tournament was not going to be easy, with 32 entered in the category. It took five straight wins but the Stittsville Vipers peewee team prevailed, winning the tournament championship in the peewee division. Two of the five victories were one goal games, so the Vipers did not breeze to the championship but had to work hard to grab the tournament title. One of these close games was the championship final last Sunday afternoon against the West End Coyotes in which the Vipers emerged with a 2-1 win. The Vipers took an early lead in the closely fought game and with solid team defense and standout goaltending by Kaitlin Clarke held on for the victory. Indeed, goalie Kaitlin Clarke was selected as the player of the game. The Vipers had advanced to the peewee championship final by winning three round robin games and then

defeating the Ottawa East Devils 5-0 in semi-ﬁnal action last Sunday. The earlier games saw the Stittsville Vipers shut out the West End Predators 4-0, the Nepean Falcons 5-1 and the Kemptville Panthers 4-3, the other one goal game. This victory in the Roger’s House Year End Tournament was the fourth tournament win of the season for the Stittsville Vipers peewee team. This year’s three day tournament hosted 170 teams in seven divisions, ranging from novice to midget. This tournament has raised over $184,000 over the years in support of Roger’s House which is named in honour of the late Roger Neilson, the former Ottawa Senators and National Hockey League coach who died in 2003. Roger’s House provides a “home away from home” on the grounds of the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) for children with life limiting illnesses and members of their families.

SVA passes motions about proposed landfill John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) executive is serving as the voice of Stittsville in terms of opposition to the proposed new Waste Management landfill on Carp Road north of highway 417 after passing three motions dealing with the proposal and its Environmental Assessment (EA) process at a special meeting on Thursday, March 21. One motion expresses the SVA’s continuing opposition to the new landfill at the Carp Road site. Another motion points out that the SVA response to Ontario Ministry of the Environment comments reviewing the EA for the new landfill will be incorporated in the in-depth response to these comments being submitted by the Coalition of Citizen Groups Opposed to the New Landfill (the SVA has been a member of the Coalition since its founding in 2006). And a third motion approves SVA action to request that the Minister of the Environment not approve the EA for the new landfill until Waste Management has negotiated mutually acceptable solutions to various outstanding issues with the community. These issues include property value protection for homeowners, ground water protection, community compensation, odour management and more. The SVA executive passed these motions after hearing comments from those attending the meeting about how the SVA should respond to the Ministry comments about the Waste Management EA for the proposed new landfill on Carp Road. It heard from six people out of the eight members of the public who attended the meeting in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, only one of which was a Stittsville resident. Five of those who addressed the SVA ex-

ecutive on the matter are longtime opponents of any Carp Road landfill, with all of them involved in the community fight to oppose Waste Management’s 2006 proposal and now in opposing the current proposal. The only new voice in the debate heard by the SVA executive at this meeting was that of Scott Williams who moved to Stittsville eight months ago, selecting the community as home over all other options as he and his wife viewed it as a perfect place to raise children. He said that he only found out about the proposal for a new landfill on Carp Road a few weeks ago. He said that he is absolutely opposed to the new landfill, commenting that a landfill is not something that anyone should want for the community. Mr. Williams expressed the hope that everyone would be opposed to the new landfill project and he vowed to fight it “tooth and nail.” Harold Moore, one of the leading voices opposing any expanded or new landfill on the Carp Road over the years since 2006 when the issue first arose, noted that the SVA has been a member of the Coalition of Citizen Groups opposing landfill development on the Carp Road since 2006 and urged the SVA to remain unified with the Coalition in commenting on the Ministry’s comments on the completed EA. He lamented that Waste Management will not negotiate with the community at this time about community concerns such as property value compensation, community compensation, odour management and ground water contamination, saying that it will deal with these matters after approval of the EA. Such a timeline “leaves us out in the cold,” Mr. Moore stated, saying that once Waste Management gets EA approval, there will be little chance of any meaningful community consultation and negotiation. Vincent Lavoie, who has also been a leading voice over the past seven years against any

landfill development on the Carp Road, predicted that odours are inevitable from any new landfill at that site. “I don’t know one dump in the world that doesn’t smell,” he said, adding that he supports the use of modern technology to handle waste but not a landfill which he called the cheapest method of handling waste and the one with the most environmental impact. Mr. Lavoie noted that the contamination lifespan of the proposed new landfill on the Carp Road will be 350 years. “It makes no sense,” Mr. Lavoie said about the proposal for a new landfill at the site. “The whole proposal makes no sense.” He urged the SVA to continue with its longheld stance of opposition to any landfill at the Carp Road site. Gerry Augusta, another whose opposition to any landfill project on the Carp Road goes back to 2006, criticized the Ministry comments on the EA since the comments did not give any accompanying rationale as to how the Ministry arrived at the comment. He said that he is not opposed to a large business operating in the community but said that Waste Management has not considered the community in its proposal for a new landfill at the site. Waste Management has said take it or leave it, he said in regards to the new landfill proposal. The community should leave it, he concluded. “It’s just an illogical place to continue to put a landfill,” Mr. Augusta said about the Carp Road site. Mr. Augusta’s wife, Mary Catherine Augusta, who has opposed any Carp Road landfill ex-

pansion along with her husband but admits that she rarely speaks at public meetings, urged the SVA to oppose any landfill at the Carp Road site. She said that many new residents to the area have no idea that that existing hill on the Carp Road was a dump and that a new dump is being proposed. Olivia Nixon, another longtime opponent of a landfill on the Carp Road, urged the SVA to show community leadership in taking a strong stand against having a landfill in the community, saying that the area can do better than having “another big mountain of garbage.” The SVA response to the comments made by the Ministry about the EA for the proposed new landfill on Carp Road have to be submitted by Monday, April 2, right after the Easter weekend. The Minister will then have a 13 week period in which to accept the EA, reject it or approve it with conditions. There is a possibility that the matter could be referred to an Environmental Rights Tribunal which would have to make a decision within 60 days. If the EA is approved, Waste Management will still need city of Ottawa rezoning approvals. This would then be followed by Waste Management receiving a certificate of environmental approval that would outline all of the conditions which Waste Management would have to follow in order to build and operate a landfill on the Carp Road site. Ottawa city council will be dealing with the issue of the Ministry comments about the EA at its meeting this week so that its comments on the comments can meet the April 2 deadline.

Items on ‘hold’ causing concern at library Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The Ottawa Public Library is grappling with the problem of truant readers who put items on hold and never pick them up. Minor changes to the circulation policy at the Ottawa Public Library sparked a debate and led the library board to send staff back to the drawing board on Monday, March 18. The board shot down library staff’s proposal to remove limits on the number of audio-visual items such as CDs and DVDs that a library user can have checked out at once. The idea is a way to get around

challenges that arise from people putting large numbers of those items on hold and checking them out in sequence. That leads to delays for other customers and it means items are out of circulation for long periods as they’re being processed, said Jennifer Stirling, the division-wide manager of service and innovation for the library. “Our circulation is being impacted by our own policy,” she said. Barrhaven Coun. Jan Harder, the board’s chairwoman, said the number of holds is increasing and it is becoming a problem at the library. “The hold business is taking up huge real estate in our libraries,” she

said, adding that some branches have maxed out the amount of space they have available to store items that people put on hold. “I think this is a bigger issue,” she added. But the problems are caused by a small number of guilty parties, said board member Christine Langlois. Library board member Kanata North Coun. Marianne Wilkinson said the issue could have been solved another way: by putting a limit on the number of items a person can put on hold at one time or adding a ﬁne for people who don’t pick up held items when they become available, she said.

“I worry about this,” Wilkinson said of the staff proposal to remove check-out limits. “Somebody could take out 200 … It makes them unavailable for others.” Board member Danielle LussierMeek was also concerned because she anticipated people who rack up expensive late ﬁnes if they had too many materials checked out at one time. “It’s unreasonable to have no limits,” Lussier-Meek said. “There could be abuse of the system.” That shouldn’t be a problem because the library alerts people before the return date and it is easy to renew items to extend the due date,

staff said. At the end of the day, library users are responsible for their own accounts. Library staff agreed to come back with a different set of recommendations in May relating to the issue of holds and circulation limits on audio-visual materials. Two other changes did get the library board’s approval: the addition of a $5 per hour ﬁne (up to $30) if people keep iPads in branches for longer than their two-hour loan period and a new $10-per-day ﬁne (up to $50) for reference materials. New iPads were introduced at the North Gloucester, Rosemount and Ruth E. Dickinson branches last year.

City cracking down on donation bins Ice cream parlour opens laura.mueller@metroland.com

EMC news - The city of Ottawa is cracking down on messy donation bins that appear to be collecting clothes for charity, but are actually run by businesses. Bins on private property will have to display whether the operator is a registered charity, (along with the registration number), a non-proﬁt organization or a for-proﬁt business. The sign will also have to display contact information for the operator, as well as the pickup schedule. There will also be rules to ensure the property owner keeps the area surrounding the bin clean and debris free. “This is a very good, made-in-Ottawa solution to a problem,” said Kanata South Coun. Allan Hubley, who asked the city to tackle the issue. “We’re getting what I wanted out of this, which is residents having the information so they can make an informed decision about where to donate, and also for property owners before they make a decision to take a box. These people will have to tell them upfront where the clothes are going.” Other Ontario municipalities, including Hamilton, have expressed interest in following Ottawa’s lead in regulat-

AUCTION SALE

ing donation bins. Last spring, city council decided it would only allow bins on city property if the operator is a registered charitable operation. Hubley began his campaign to tackle the issue in the first year of his term in 2011. At that time, the Jubilee Donations bins – especially one at Jack Charron Arena – were of particular concern to his residents, Hubley said, because they are not emptied regularly and it’s not clear if Jubilee is a registered charity. Bags of clothes that are left to pile up around the untended donation boxes are sometimes torn open. “So it becomes a burden on the employees of the city to have to clean this thing up,” Hubley said. The bins sometimes attract thieves who try to break into them, according to the city report. There are also issues with bins blocking sightlines and creating safety hazards for traffic or undesirable activity. There are benefits to the bins, a city report says. They divert unwanted clothes from landfills and they sometimes assist charitable efforts. Sending city staff to remove bins that aren’t allowed could ramp up city staff costs so it’s not recommended. While it could be offset by the fee associated with donation-bin licences, there are also issues of perceived interference, the staff report says. The new bylaw will come into effect June 3 if it gets council’s approval this week.

The ice cream parlour will also have popcorn, candy ﬂoss and other associated treats. There are plans to establish an outside eating area with picnic benches where the ice cream can be enjoyed. Mr. Olszynko says that he had an ice cream parlour included in his lease for the premises just in case a Lois ‘N’ Frima’s parlour might be a possibility there. He says that when his barber shop opened and he began to learn more about the Stittsville community, he realized that opening

an ice cream parlour on his premises just had to be done. And this is what is happening. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream began in 1984, first on Elgin Street and then in the present Byward Market location. Friends Lois Bidner and Frima Olszynko began the business, using natural flavourings and no artificial colouring to make their rich, natural ice cream the old fashioned way. And now Stittsville and area residents will be able to enjoy this delicious treat starting this Thursday, March 28.

Hosting a venting session

ast weekend, the city hosted a roundtable discussing managing climate change by curbing greenhouse gas emissions. A laudable goal, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help wonder if it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t also simply an exercise in â&#x20AC;&#x153;fuel-tility.â&#x20AC;? The first topic of the meeting was discussing the most effective strategies for the city to reduce greenhouse gases. The first and really only answer to effectively lower the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon footprint is to lobby the federal and provincial government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; really the only bodies with the power to act as effective agents of change. Did the city really need to spend taxpayers money on an environmental venting session, before writing a letter to the provincial and federal ministries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as assorted MPs and MPPs? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not suggesting that individuals, municipalities, companies and other assorted organizations and NGOs canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make a difference â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but any effective change will require the concerted effort of cities, provinces and ultimately nations. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proper role in the discussion is to work with other municipalities to pressure the federal and provincial governments to address

the problem. The greenhouse gas roundtable was set up following months of pressure from a loosely connected group of activists who have been mounting a campaign using Twitter and other social media. Activists were pressing the city to meet its committment to come up with a new climate-change action plan that included clear greenhouse gas reduction targets and a timetable for that plan. The question remains, what kind of actions can the city unilaterally take in reducing greenhouse gas emissions that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easily overturned by the provincial and federal government â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially if these actions are ones that lie outside municipalities purview. The City of Ottawa did not need to shell out money and waste time hosting a meeting that ultimately will result in another letter-writing campaign and perhaps small changes to building design requirements, city vehicle fleets or wastemanagement practices. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time would be better spent holding a forum discussing its trash collection policy or the need to address the municipalityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aging infrastructure problem.

What we really need is an app for real city living

ast week it was revealed that there are now two apps to tell you when your bus will arrive. Apparently one was not enough and someone felt the need to come up with a better one. This is the way our economy works nowadays. Most of the time and energy available to our inventors, entrepreneurs and marketers is now spent developing things for phones. Some of them are useful, some of them are just fun. Yet just about the time we get comfortable with them, our inventors, entrepreneurs and marketers come up with new phones. Our old ones are obsolete. The entire economy stands or falls on this stuff now and we might as well get used to it. Sure, some people think that what we need is more factories, better crops, better vaccines, more alternate sources of energy, improved schools and hospitals. Never mind. What we get is better phones. And more apps for them. There is an app that works like a flashlight, which is pretty useful, and I have musician friends whose phones contain the chord progressions for hundreds of tunes. But there is also an app that allows you to use hypnotherapy to improve

Funny Town your golf game, an app that allows you to construct imaginary road networks, an app that helps you to manage your wine cellar and an app that will tell you how long your battery will last. Thousands more apps are in existence, millions more are on the way and we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop them. Besides, the economy would crumble if we did and there may not be an app to save it yet. So we might as well go with the flow and begin to search for new apps that will make our city life more bearable. What more can our phones do for us? (Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;enable us to make telephone calls,â&#x20AC;? because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an outdated concept.) Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start with the snowplow app. It Published weekly by:

would tell you when the city plows are approaching your street, so that you can move your car. The bolder among you might use the app to tell you when to stand by the curb imploring the operator not to leave the mountain of snow at the end of your driveway. In the spring, an app can tell you when the spiders are invading your barbecue. In summer, the mosquito app can tell you when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safe to go outside. When fall comes, the maple tree app will tell you when the last leaf is about to fall and you can finally go out and rake. Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that you could discover these things just by going outside and looking around, but whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fun in that when you can do it on your phone? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the one that shows how long you will be on hold when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to phone the phone company. More serious phone apps are just awaiting development Just think how useful it would be if an app told you when the next condo will arrive. If you are one of those who think that condos are even worse than spiders in the barbecue, the app would give you time to organize and put you in immediate touch with city council so that condo construction can

Never mind, for the moment, that condo builders have an app that puts them in immediate touch with the Ontario Municipal Board so that city councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision can be overturned. A good traffic app would be helpful, to give you the information you now get from the radio. This tells you about a traffic jam that is no longer a traffic jam by the time you get to it. The app will warn of traffic jams that are expected next Wednesday and, when you are stuck in one anyway, enable you to manage your wine cellar while you wait.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Skunksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out and about at euchre at Lions Hall Special to the News

EMC news - Spring must be coming because the â&#x20AC;&#x153;skunksâ&#x20AC;? have been out and about in Stittsville. It happened at the weekly euchre party hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club on Thursday, March 14 when two skunks appeared â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just ask Jackie Taylor and Klara Thompson as they were the skunk victims. And the skunks returned the next week on Thursday, March 21 when Klara Thompson was again one of the victims, along with Leila Graham. But these skunk appearances did not reduce the fun which was enjoyed on both nights â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with 13 tables being played on Thursday, March 14 and 11 tables in play on Thursday, March 21.

On Thursday, March 14, Ron Phillips took first place, with Eugene Muldoon placing second and Beth Lewis coming in third. Wade Mordy had the hidden score while Jackie Taylor, who had experienced one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;skunks,â&#x20AC;? won the booby prize. Winners of the 50/50 draws were Madeline Muldoon and Shirley Beardsell while Randy Cloutier took home the door prize. Since this euchre party was just before St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day on Sunday, March 17, players were encouraged to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wear the greenâ&#x20AC;? that evening. Jean Howell won a shamrock plant for the winning â&#x20AC;&#x153;wearing of the green.â&#x20AC;? Ann Williams won a basket that evening as well. On Thursday, March 28, Dustin Lacelle placed first, with

Viviane Lester finishing in second place. Cleo Murray finished in third place. Garnet Vaughn had the hidden score while Joan Benoit won the booby prize. Craig Lester and Shirley Beardsell won the 50/50 draws while Jackie Taylor received the door prize. The Stittsville District Lions Club is hosting euchre parties every Thursday at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street, with the doors opening at 7 p.m. and the euchre action getting underway at 7:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend. The wearing of Easter bonnets is being encouraged at the euchre party this coming Thursday, March 28 at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street since it is just a couple of days before Easter.

$350,000 damage in early morning fire EMC news - Fire gutted a single storey home on Carp Road in Stittsville in an early morning blaze on Wednesday, March 20. But while the fire caused an estimated $350,000 damage, the good news is that the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two occupants, a wheelchair bound father and his son, managed to get out of the burning home safely. In fact, the two of them were outside the home when Ottawa Fire Services firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after being alerted of the fire at 4:10 a.m. The father was transported to hospital with minor smoke inhalation and for a pre-existing medical condition. Firefighters did face a hydro hazard upon arrival at the scene as a power line had been severed by the fire, falling onto the ground. Flames were visible in the house as the firefighters began to battle the blaze. Even 40 minutes after the fire was first re-

ported, heavy smoke was billowing in the area with firefighters attempting to force the fire from the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance area. The main body of the fire was considered knocked down by 5:10 a.m. while the fire was eventually viewed as under control at 5:31 a.m. It is believed to have started in one of the rear bedrooms but the exact cause remains under investigation. Both the Salvation Army and the Red Cross, which were called in to assist the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants who had escaped the fire only with the clothing that they were wearing, provided emergency supplies and shelter for the pair.

Life changing trip for Sacred Heart students John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There are no more 20 minute long showers for Liam DaNova. They’re now two minutes in duration. And for Ally Smith, the water tap is now shut off when brushing her teeth, a change from before. For both of these grade 11 Sacred Heart Catholic High School students, these behaviour changes are but an indication of how a pre-March Break school trip to learn about life in Managua, Nicaragua and to volunteer in working on community projects there was an admitted life changing experience. You really don’t know what poverty is until you see it yourself and get to know people living in poverty, Ally says. Indeed, she had been thinking of studying law in her postsecondary school studies but now she thinks that law dealing with human rights may be her focus in the future. Liam says that a person cannot really grasp what living in poverty is like and also what a divide there is between rich and poor in some countries like Nicaragua just by looking at photographs and being told about it. In his view, being there is the way to really understand things. He points out that from the school trip, he now knows people actually living in poverty. That’s why he has changed his shower procedure – he knows the value of water to those living in poverty. Liam says that he wants to go on more humanitarian trips like this one to Nicaragua, a sentiment echoed by Ally who says that she wants the Nicaragua trip to be only the first of many such trips for her. In Nicaragua, Liam and Ally, along with fellow students and several teachers in the group of about 30 people, helped build six houses in a barrio or slum where Companeros, the organization that coordinated the trip, works, doing community projects with the help of volunteers like these Sacred Heart students. Upon arrival in the Grenada barrio of Managua, the Sacred Heart group broke into smaller groups, most of whom worked on building six homes while another group worked on painting a mural on a cement wall in front of a school. They worked at these projects for three days. These six one room homes, built elevated from the ground due to flooding, which were completed by

Liam DaNova, left, and Ally Smith, right, are two grade 11 students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville who went on a school trip to learn about and do community work in Nicaragua. the Sacred Heart group, were paid for by fundraising which happened at Sacred Heart. Ally says that digging the holes for the house footings was hard work but also was rewarding work, leaving her with a good feeling at the end of each day. While the house construction was underway, one Sacred Heart group worked with local artists to paint a mural on the wall in front of a school. Such murals are an important cultural feature in Nicaragua and even in the barrios, there are murals everywhere. Upon arriving in Nicaragua, the Sacred Heart students met the host families with whom they would be staying during their stay there. This was followed the next day with orientation about the Nicaraguan culture and an historical tour of Managua. The next day saw the Sacred Heart group visit the Masaya volcano which is still active. The students really came to love their host families. Liam, who stayed with a host family along with four other male classmates, pointed out the generosity and hospitality of the host family. “Our

home is your home,” the family told the group. Ally praised her host family for really taking care of those who stayed with it. She said that there were “definitely tears when leaving.” The host families, for the most part, spoke very little English and the Sacred Heart students, although they did take weekly Spanish lessons before leaving, knew little Spanish. But communication happened. There was a lot of charades with the house mother, Ally says. And Liam tells the story of doing a house roof with a local worker, with all the conversation being the one word “clavo” which means nail. It was all in the way that you said the word that indicated whether you were asking for a nail or pointing out where a nail had to go or giving some other direction. Liam says that despite using only the one word, communication on the roof that way went well and the job was done. The orientation was important, allowing the Sacred Heart group to learn about Nicaraguan culture. For instance, how you greet others with a hello or a kiss or whatever is very important in the Nicaraguan culture

and knowing this prevented misunderstandings. Ally says that people in Nicaragua place more importance and emphasis on relationships than on material things, with family and friends being cherished in their lives. Liam agreed with this, saying that people in Nicaragua put emphasis on relationships and hellos and goodbyes rather than on material goods. He also confirmed that there is a great love for soccer there. He said that you only had to go out in the street holding a soccer ball and you were immediately surrounded by a group of youngsters, all ready to play. Ally says that in her whole stay there, she did not see one unhappy child – they are a happy group. But this happiness is not because of what they have around them in the barrio. Liam says that the divide between the rich and the poor in the country is extreme, a divide that was obvious to the Sacred Heart group as they turned into the barrio each day from the main street which is lined with shops. He calls the divide “really shocking”, so much so that there was absolutely no conversation in the group when arriving at the barrio.

It was not all work in the eightday trip (two for travel included) for the Sacred Heart group. On their final day before travelling home, they heard a fair trade speaker, had the opportunity for some shopping and enjoyed some relaxation at the Laguna Apoyo volcanic lagoon and its 40 degrees celsius sunshine. Both Liam and Ally see value in these humanitarian trips to developing countries. Liam says that in raising funds and sending them off, you do not see the results of your help. He says that by travelling to a place like Nicaragua, you help the people there make their situation better and you also bring back knowledge about the situation to tell others. Ally notes that the people there living in poverty see us helping them and thus see that we care about them. But this trip from Thursday, Feb. 28 through to Thursday, March 7 involved both preparation work and also has follow-up work involved. “It’s not a one week trip,” says Ally. “It’s a year and a half trip.” That’s because the students were involved in fundraising for the previous year, holding garage and bake sales, hosting a talent show and undertaking bottle drives. They also canvassed local churches for support. And now that they are back, the trip may be over physically but there is still lots to do. There are going to be presentations made to at least 20 classes at Sacred Heart. In addition, presentations will be made at area churches, telling about the trip. Nicaragua, with almost six million people, is ranked by the United Nations as the second poorest country in the western hemisphere after Haiti. Companeros Inc. is a private social enterprise registered in both Canada and Nicaragua which organizes volunteer service projects to help develop better communities. Founded in 2001, it has coordinated more than 1,000 participants in 80 community development projects in North and Central America. This is the first year that a group from Sacred Heart has gone to Nicaragua. Previously such trips had gone to the Dominican Republic but this year’s group was too big to be accommodated there. The organizers at Sacred Heart received a lot of help and advice about the trip from Stittsville United Church which had organized a previous trip to Nicaragua under the auspices of Companeros.

EMC news - There may still be snow around but, yes, spring is coming. Again this spring, the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is holding a rain barrel sale. Last spring the SVA sold over 400 rain barrels, generating over $4,000 for the organization to help fund SVA activities like the Canada Day celebrations and the Parade of Lights. This year the SVA has set a goal of selling at least 500 rain barrels. The rain barrels are available now for purchase or reservation online at http://rainbarrel.ca/stittsville. Rain barrel orders can also be placed by calling Marilyn Jenkins at 613-8365075 or Tanya Hein at 613-686-1842, although the online ordering is preferable. The rain barrels this spring are selling for the same price as last year, namely $55 each. The SVA makes $10 for every barrel sold. The purchase includes the 220 litre/55 U.S. gallon barrel as well as a filter basket, spigot, nipple, overflow adaptor and four feet of overflow hose. The rain barrels are made of recycled material as much as possible. One change this year is in the colours available. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colours are grey, terra cotta and black. The rain barrels will be available for pickup in the parking lot at Stittsville Sobeys on Saturday, April 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Flyers promoting this rain barrel sale are being distributed now through the Stittsville Sobeys store.

Mayor’s Report

Connected to your community

THE OLDER ADULT PLAN By Jim Watson In less than 20 years, the number of seniors in Ottawa will double. In that time, there will be more seniors than children under the age of 15 for the first time in our city’s history. This means even more seniors will be taking transit, visiting libraries and registering for recreation programs. It also means that our city will enjoy the priceless benefits of the skills and knowledge that come with older adults who volunteer their time in community activities. Looking ahead, the key will be building an age-friendly city, one that puts issues that matter to seniors at front of mind. We need to set the right priorities to help older adults reach their full potential. This is why the City of Ottawa has recently launched its Older Adult Plan, a set of actions that we will take to create a more age-friendly city. It is the product of about two years of hard work and consultations with older adults and service providers. Our work began in 2011 when I hosted the Mayor’s Seniors Summit at City Hall, which was a commitment I made in the last election. The event was the first in a series of valuable discussions

about how the City can better serve older adults and how we need to plan for the future. The Older Adult Action Plan commits the City of Ottawa to 74 CONCRETE ACTIONS OVER THE NEXT two years in priority areas such as outdoor spaces, transportation, housing, communication, recreation, civic participation and social inclusion. &OR EXAMPLE WORK HAS ALREADY begun on installing more accessible features in City facilities. We have also published an Older Adult Activity Guide to connect residents with recreation programs. You will soon start to see improvements made for pedestrian safety, access to volunteer opportunities and a wide range of other areas to enrich the lives of older adults. This is just the beginning, but we are on the right track. In fact, we were recently recognized by the World Health Organization, which added Ottawa as a member of its 'LOBAL .ETWORK OF !GE &RIENDLY Cities.

Harold Moore, far left, representing the Coalition of Citizen Groups Opposed To The New Landfill on the Carp Road, presents a cheque for $2,500 to Matthieu Gauthier and his sister Marielle Gauthier for winning the youth video contest sponsored by the Coalition as city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, far right, looks on.

$2,500 prize for winning video in contest John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The top prize in a video competition for youth sponsored by the Coalition of Citizen Groups Opposed To The New Landfill has gone to a Stittsville youth. Seventeen year old Marielle Gauthier of Stittsville has received the $2,500 prize for producing the best video outlining the issues arising from a landfill site in the Stittsville community. And she will be sharing the prize with her 12 year old brother Matthieu Gauthier who helped her with the video. Harold Moore of the Coalition

made the prize presentation recently to Matthieu and Marielle with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri in attendance. Also presented was Stittsville Village Association (SVA) immediate past president Marilyn Jenkins who called the work just a great video. “We were just thrilled,” she said in commenting on the video. Mr. Moore echoed these sentiments, calling the video “a job well done.” The SVA has been a member of the Coalition of Citizen Groups Opposed to The New Landfill since the Coalition began in 2006. This was the first such video that Marielle has made. It was shot in the family’s backyard in Stittsville, in the

area around the existing, now closed landfill on the Carp Road and along Poole Creek. Councillor Qadri urged Marielle to send a copy of the video on a disc to the Ontario Minister of the Environment who is now involved in a review of the Environmental Assessment related to a proposal to establish a new landfill on the Carp Road. Marielle is a grade 12 student at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville while Matthieu is in grade 7 at the school. Earlier this year, Marielle Gauthier was honoured for being one of a select number of only 150 youth in the province to be nominated in the 2012 Ontario Junior Citizen of the Year Awards program.

If you are interested in reading the Older Adult Action Plan, printed copies are available by calling 3-1-1 or e-mailing seniors@ottawa. ca. You can also ﬁnd out more by visiting ottawa.ca/seniors.

Jock River Race date set back to April 20 Special to the News

EMC news – The delayed arrival of spring has impacted the scheduling of the annual Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race. This year’s race initially had been set for Saturday, April 6 but the hanging on of winter and continuing cool temperatures has prompted a date change to Saturday, April 20. It seems likely that the spring runoff will be greater than originally anticipated. Since both the starting area at the Munster Road and the finishing area at Jock River Park in Richmond are impacted by river flooding, it was decided that the race should be postponed for two weeks so that these areas will be free of spring flooding. 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 stand-up paddleboard class was added in 2012. 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. 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 race carries on a spring racing tradition on the Jock River that goes back to the 1970’s when the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority used to sponsor such a canoe race on the Jock River from Richmond downstream to the river’s mouth at the Rideau River. 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 now to be held on Saturday, April 20, check out the website www.jockriverrace.ca or contact John Hiley of the organizing committee at 613-838-5327.

Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario relies on funds donated by individuals and corporations and raised through fundraising events like this upcoming dance showcase to make the wishes of children come true. The funds raised in Eastern Ontario stay in Eastern Ontario to help deliver wishes to children across the area. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario does not select which children receive wishes. Every child referred who is deemed eligible for a wish receives the wish. Make-A-Wish is the largest wish granting organization in the world.

Acoustic duo performs John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The duo of Stittsville’s Jon “jkstraw” Whittington and Nepean’s Matty Dougan lived up to their advance billing in their performance at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening, March 22. Jon Whittington was described as a performer with a sound and style reminiscent of a “husky/folksy guitar-totin’ railroad-truckin’ genre but with an honest folky feel. And when combined with the multi-instrumentalist talents of Matty Dougan, who has been playing acoustic roots music in the Ottawa area for over 30 years, you have an acoustic duo that is not only good but also sure gives the audience their money’s worth, to coin a phrase that is perhaps not quite appropriate in this case since admission at these regular Friday evening music nights at the Gaia Java shop is free. But this duo of Jon “jkstraw” Whittington and Matty Dougan performed 25 different songs, all in one set which lasted two hours and 15 minutes and they even started early because there were some there waiting for the music to begin. They were like a long playing record that kept going and going, just like the Energizer bunny. And, boy, was it good! Songs ran the gambit – Shady Grove, Prodigal Town, Pretty PeggyO, Tangled Up In Blue, Walkin’ Boss, The Ballad of Casey Jones, Candyman, Catfish John, Dear Mr. Fantasy, Gormorrah and more. Jon sang and accompanied himself on the guitar while Matty accompanied him, sometimes on the mandolin, sometimes on a guitar played like a steel guitar but always with a musical flair that blended with Jon’s instrumental and vocal sounds. They’re a pair married by their music. Jon “jkstraw” Whittington of Stittsville has been performing his Americana folk/roots style of music in and around the Ottawa area for the past ten years. He performed at Villagefest at Village Square Park last September. Jon has been playing guitar for close to 20 years while having been involved in music in one way or another most of his life. He plays various gigs including Carleton University’s “Mike’s Place” as well as at private parties and local open stage nights. He generally plays traditional folk and blues songs but also borrows from contemporary sources like the American rock band Grateful Dead and singer, songwriter and poet Bob Dylan. He particularly is partial to songs penned by American lyricist, songwriter and poet Robert Hunter because of his love of lyric-centric songs. Indeed, he views himself as more of a story teller than a singer. Robert Hunter is best known for his work with the Grateful Dead. When

the Grateful Dead were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, Hunter was included, the only non-performer ever so honoured. Jon Whittington has achieved some success online, approaching 500,000 views on YouTube. He opened his YouTube account back in 2007 as a way of documenting his progress as a guitar player. But he has received amazing feedback ever since these initial days and he still receives positive feedback on a daily basis. Jon performs with the name “jkstraw” simply as a nickname which he has used for a while. It is taken from “Jack Straw,” a Grateful Dead song. Jon is currently performing as half of an acoustic duo with multi-instrumentalist and friend Matty DouJOHN CURRY/METROLAND gan of Nepean. Matty, with over 30 years performing in the Ottawa area, Instrumentalist Matty Dougan, left, seated, playing the guitar, accompanies singer/guitarist Jon “jkstraw” has played at local festivals as a mem- Whittington, right, as they perform at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street last Friday, March 22. ber of various bluegrass groups.

Goulbourn Sea Hawks’ swim-a-thon John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Swimming from here to Toronto. Now that’s quite a distance.

But this is just about the distance that swimmers with the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swam in a combined total in the swim club’s annual swim-athon that took place at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) pool in

Stittsville over the course of several hours last Friday and Saturday. About 80 swimmers, just about all of the club’s members, took part in this swim-a-thon, with each participant trying to swim in the 25 metre

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Goulbourn Sea Hawks senior swimmers who participated in the swim club’s annual swim-a-thon last Saturday at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool in Stittsville are, from left, front row, Jayden Cole, Tamara Shaw, Ally Jory, Sierra Zabel and Harrison Lyster; and, from left, back row, Joey Coakeley, Robert Clarke, Hunter Dunlop, Matthew Hayward, Nick Barry and Michele Delfino.

pool continuously for either 5,000 metres or for two full hours, whichever happened first. It was the club’s younger swimmers who took to the water last Friday starting at 3:30 p.m. with the club’s more senior swimmers hitting the pool early on Saturday morning. The club’s younger swimmers usually swim for the two hours without reaching the 5,000 metre distance as these younger swimmers usually do not swim for such continuous, ongoing sessions in their regular training. However, the older, more senior swimmers usually finish the 5,000 metre distance of the swim-a-thon well within the two hour limit. The senior swimmers do introduce some competitiveness into the swim-a-thon in that they try to be one of the first three swimmers to reach the 5,000 metre mark. This year

Among the swimmers who participated in the Goulbourn Sea Hawks annual swim-a-thon at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex pool in Stittsville last Friday afternoon, March 22 are, from left, Sydney Alteen, Mitchell Beaumaster, Vanessa Salvatore, Sarina Mohan, Katie MacAskill, Sophia Brown-Andrukaitis, Hannah Cummings, Sofia Chapman-Pusiak, Helen Du, Marissa Cooper and Lily Yang while behind them, in the centre, is Goulbourn Sea Hawks head coach Val Hayward.

Matt Hayward was the first swimmer to reach this mark. Hunter Dunlop placed second while Jayden Cole was third. At one time, swimmers used to gather pledges based on a per lap basis. Now, though, the swimmers collect pledges on a lump sum basis, not based n the number of completed laps. Volunteers still sit on the pool deck recording each swimmer’s laps but this is simply so that they can tell the swimmer how far he or she has gone and how much more distance remains to the done. This annual swim-a-thon is the Goulbourn Sea Hawks swim club’s major fundraiser of the year. Parent Michelle Cole was the coordinator for this year’s swim-a-thon. The GRC pool is the home of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks.

EMC sports - Six senior swimmers of the Goulbourn Sea Hawks competed in the recent Ontario Provincial Swim Championships at the Nepean Sportsplex. Qualifying for these provincial championships is quite a feat in itself as these qualifying times are extremely fast due to swimmers vying for spots from across the province. For the Goulbourn Sea Hawks to have six swimmers qualifying for the provincial championship is a real achievement. Swimming in these Ontario Provincial Swim Championships were Matthew Hayward, Tamara Shaw, Harrison Lyster, Nicholas Barry, Jayden Cole and Robert Clarke. It was a great meet for Jayden Cole who won a silver medal in the 100 backstroke in the male 13 years and under category with a time of one minute, 3.02 seconds. Jayden also won the bronze medal in his 200 backstroke event in a

time of two minutes, 15.74 seconds. Both of these backstroke times were fast enough for Jayden to qualify for the Age Group National standards. Swimmers, though, must attain three standards in order to compete at the national level. But Jayden is close to doing this as he has only .06 seconds to shave off his 50 backstroke time in order to qualify in that event as well. Jayden also had eighth place finishes in the provincial meet in the 50 freestyle with a time of 27.36 seconds and in the 100 freestyle with a time of 59.57 seconds. Harrison Lyster competed in the 50 freestyle, 50 backstroke and 100 butterfly. Matthew Hayward swam in the 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle and 400 freestyle. Tamara Shaw swam in the 100 freestyle while Nicholas Barry swam in the 200 freestyle, 100 breaststroke and 200 breaststroke. Robert Clarke swam in the 400 freestyle and 100 breaststroke as well as the 200 breaststroke.

‘You’ are first line of defense against fraud john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Banks like the Royal Bank have technological safeguards, employ fraud detection staff and train branch staff in trying to detect and prevent financial fraud in all its forms. But the first line of defense is an informed consumer. “It really starts with you,” Erin Craig, branch manager at the new Royal Bank Fernbank branch at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Terry Fox Drive and Fernbank Road told those who attended a free advice event about financial fraud which was held at the branch last Saturday at noon. The first step in financial fraud prevention involves consumers being aware of the problems and following various tips for safe computing, safeguarding assets and protecting personal and financial information. Tips for safe computing and online privacy include protecting your personal information, choosing effective passwords, verifying a message before you take any other action, limiting the online

information that you make available about yourself, being cautious in your online activity, being wary of pop-up windows, maintaining a suite of security software products, keeping your computer healthy, remembering to log off and realizing that if an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is. Tips to safeguard assets include keeping your personal information safe and confidential, being aware of billing and statement cycles, protecting your mail, protecting your PIN and passwords, limiting your risk by reporting lost or stolen credit cards immediately, reviewing your transactions, carrying only credit cards that you use and contacting the authorities if you suspect that you are the victim of fraud. At the free advice event last Saturday, Royal Bank Fernbank branch account manager Elena Pak outlined some of the common methods of fraud such as skimming (a device in a card swipe machine secretly records your card’s information), email fraud (known as phishing) and phone fraud (known as vishing).

There are also other fraud schemes such as the grandparent scam (where a grandparent is informed that a grandchild needs money to bail them out of a situation) and also fake charities. Ottawa Police Service Constable Lori Fahey, who was a presenter at the event, strongly advised people to protect their PIN number as much as possible. This involves putting your hand over the keyboard when you are entering your PIN number. Don’t be reluctant to do this, she said, because you are protecting yourself. Blocking view of your PIN number is all that it takes to prevent a lot of skimming that takes place. Constable Fahey also advised that people should shred their bills and other paper that has personal information on it. “If you don’t shred, it’s not dead,” she said about the data involved. She also advised that people should photocopy all of their identification papers and should not carry all of their identification around with them. She said that all a person needs to carry around most of

Elena Pak, left, an account manager at the new Royal Bank Fernbank branch, is with Ottawa Police Services Constable Lori Fahey, right, at the free advice event dealing with financial fraud which was held at the branch last Saturday, March 23. Both were speakers at the free advice event. the time is one bank card, one credit card and a driver’s license. A Health Card, a SIN card and other materials are not needed daily but do carry information like date of birth that could lead to identify

theft or fraud. Constable Lahey said that banks will never ask for personal information over the phone or via email so if you receive such requests, realize that they are not legitimate.

And Constable Lahey reiterated that if someone is offering something for nothing, it’s definitely too good to be true. Royal Bank Fernbank branch account manager Stewart Leckie told those at the free advice event about financial abuse which happens when someone takes advantage of a financial situation of a person when they are not entitled to do so. This could even happen in a Power of Attorney situation where someone by law must act in the best interests of the person but may not be doing so. Never share your PIN number with anyone, not even a family member, he said, noting that such action means that you and your assets are not as protected as they should be if this is done. He said that a person should not use a public WIFI area for private banking matters since that opens up your dealings to others in the public. The Royal Bank Fernbank branch will be holding free advice events on various matters from time to time. This was the first one held at the branch which opened for business on Monday, March 11.

Life could be this much fun.

$500 to SMHA from Stittsville Sobeys Special to the News

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

R0011992554

At the presentation of a $500 donation to the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) from the February Senators Power Play promotion sponsored on radio by Stittsville Sobeys are, at the front, from left, players on the Stittsville Atom B Ice Dogs team Jack Quirion, Tanner Goodwin, Noah Brigden, Carson Ginther, Sam Wilson and Noah Lebano, and, back row, from left, Ryan Goodwin who is Director of House for the SMHA and coach of the Ice Dogs; and Tim LaPlante, owner of Stittsville Sobeys who is handing over the $500 cheque to SMHA president Mike Clarkson, right.

EMC sports - The Ottawa Senators scored five power play goals in their games in February. This scoring has resulted in the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) receiving a $500 donation thanks to Stittsville Sobeys. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because Stittsville Sobeys is one of the Sobeys stores in the Ottawa area who sponsor this monthly promotion in which $100 is given to a selected community organization or charity for every power play goal scored by the Ottawa Senators in games that particular month. For the month of February, it was the turn of Stittsville Sobeys to select a community organization to receive the funds generated and Stittsville Sobeys chose the SMHA. SMHA president Mike Clarkson, along with SMHA Director of House Ryan Goodwin and six red-jerseyed players with the Stittsville Atom Ice Dogs team, were on hand to receive the $500 donation from Stittsville Sobeys owner Tim LaPlante. One added plus to being the organization selected to receive funds in this promotion is that the organization is named constantly when the promotion is announced on the radio every time that the Senators go on a power play. So, the SMHA not only received $500 but the SMHA was named on the radio broadcasts of Senators games every time that a power play opportunity for the Sens arose.

Grief workshop in Richmond Special to the News

EMC news - Everyone has experienced it and everyone knows about it but just what is grief. There is very little information written for people about appropriate expectations that they can have when grieving. Sometimes, unrealistic expectations of both ourselves and others in a grief situation can hinder the healing process for those who have lost a loved one. Indeed, those grieving often expect more than themselves than is sometimes possible at the time. That’s why St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street in Richmond, in partnership with Bereavement Support & Education – Ottawa, is presenting a workshop entitled “Grief: What It is …and Isn’t…” this Saturday, March 30 at the church. This is the first of four workshops

dealing with various aspects of grief which will take place at St. John’s over the course of this year. Attendance at this March 30 workshop and the others that will follow this year is free, although donations will be accepted. Coffee and refreshments will be provided. This first workshop on grief this Saturday, March 30 will run from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The other workshops in this “Life After Loss” series will take place on Saturday, June 15 (Common Misconceptions About Grief); Saturday, Sept. 28 (Questions Grievers Ask); and Saturday, Dec. 7 (Grief and the Holiday Season). For more information about these workshops, please contact Rev. Michel Dubord at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in Richmond at 613-838-9643 or via email at info@saintjohnsrichmond.ca.

Radiant Rainbows crafts at Museum Special to the News

EMC news - â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the rainbow.â&#x20AC;? As so many know, this classic song from the 1939 movie â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Wizard of Ozâ&#x20AC;? won the Academy Award and became Judy Garlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature song. The song topped the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Songs of the Centuryâ&#x20AC;? list compiled by the Recording Industry Association of America and the National Endowment for the Arts. The American Film Institute ranked it as the greatest movie song of all time. It even had a commemorative stamp issued in the United States in 2005. And its lyrics, including â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somewhere over the rainbow/Way up high/Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a land that I heard of/Once in a lullabyâ&#x20AC;? re-

veal that there are magical places. One such magical place happens to be the Goulbourn Museum, especially on Sunday, April 7.

This family craft day will see youngsters create their own splashy Rainbow Fish as well as participate in fun games and activities. Indeed, youngsters who attend are being encouraged to arrive dressed in a favourite colour of the rainbow or even all of the colours of the rainbow if they wish. Parent accompaniment is required for

those taking part in this craft afternoon. Cost is only $3 per child but space is limited, so early registration is recommended.

DOOR-TO-DOOR KNOCKING & BREAK AND ENTER CONCERNS

With the warmer weather around the corner, the potential for door-todoor interaction will increase. I want to remind residents to be wary of various inspectors claiming to be City employees. The City is warning residents of salespeople approaching homes and falsely representing themselves as city employees sent to perform quality tests. There have been complaints of aggressive sales techniques and questionable tactics (including false claims or data) to encourage residents to provide entrance into their residences. As with any door-knocking situation, do not feel pressured to answer questions or to allow a stranger into your residence and feel free to terminate the conversation when you no longer wish to engage with them. If you ask them to leave your property and they do not, please call Police. Anyone directly contacted by persons claiming to be City employees for City business are asked to request and check identification, and, if concerns remain, contact 3-1-1 before allowing access. Please report all non-emergency situations to the Stittsville Community Police Center at 613-236-1222 x2001.

Those Who Were There.” This documentary, which premiered at the Canadian War Museum on Nov. 4, 2011, illustrates the impact Canada’s participation in foreign conflicts and crises had had on Canada, Canadians and the Canadian Armed Forces. The documentary series took four years to produce, was done on a volunteer basis and is now downloadable free of charge. The Minister of Veterans Affairs commendation includes a bar, which can be worn below official decorations on a recipient’s blazer, as well as a lapel pin for civilian wear and also a certificate. The Commendation, presented to individuals who have contributed to the care and well being of veterans and to the remembrance of their contributions, sacrifices and achievements, is intended primary for presentation to veterans but in some circumstances may also be awarded to nonveterans. Nominations may be submitted at any time and are reviewed annually by an advisory committee. To date more than 700 individuals across the country have received the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation. Mr. Bellamy, Mr. McPhee and Dr. Nellestyn are among 89 recipients from across the country who are the latest recipients of the Commendation. The Governor General of Canada issued the warrant which created this award. In April 2001, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II approved the design of the special bar to be worn with decorations which is given to recipients of the award. The design associated with the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation is a gold maple leaf resting on a red poppy, a flower long associated with the sacrifices of war, with the Royal Crown on the top of the pin.

He also advised on and guided the establishment of W.A.C.’s first branch in St. John’s in Newfoundland and Labrador where 900 wreaths are now placed at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Mr. McPhee has spoken to schools, cadet and youth organizations, the media and various community groups to encourage the public to become more involved with W.A.C.

“These dedicated Canadians have worked to better the lives of our veterans,” Ms. Adams, who is also MP for Mississauga-Brampton South, said with regard to these most recent award recipients. “They have each made significant contributions to the veteran community.” Calvin Bellamy of Stittsville is a Canadian Armed Forces veteran. After retiring from the military, he established a cadet band for 742 Air Cadet Squadron when it was located at the Beaver Barracks in Ottawa. He served as a drum instructor until 1975 when the Squadron relocated to CFB Ottawa (South). Mr. Bellamy then moved on to assist the Signal Corps Museum in Kingston, setting up a NORTHAG display which is still on exhibit at that museum today. From 1984 to 1996, Mr. Bellamy served with the Special Service Reserves where he taught communications to the reservists. In 2008, Mr. Bellamy joined the NATO Veterans Organization of Canada, taking on the job of secretary-treasurer. He helped transfer the organization from Fredericton, N.B. to Ottawa and helped set up a federal corporation charter for it. Within the NATO Veterans Organization of Canada, Mr. Bellamy has held the positions of adjutant and senior advisor. He is currently the organization’s senior vice-president. In addition to his volunteer work involving veterans and the military, Mr. Bellamy served for four years as group committee chair with the 1st Glen Cairn Cub Scouts. He has also been involved for 44 years with the Masonic Order of Free Masons through the Shriner of Tunis Temple in Ottawa. Craig McPhee of Stittsville, another recipient of the Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation, is a Canadian Armed Forces veteran who is the founder and president of Wreaths Across Canada (W.A.C.) Incorporated. He was inspired to found this organization after observing a Wreaths Across America ceremony at the Arlington Cemetery in Washington, D.C. where he saw wreaths placed at veterans’ headstones. He subsequently put together a team and W.A.C. was formed under his leadership with the mission to “remember” those members of the Canadian Armed Forces who lie in military cemeteries across Canada as well as to “honour” those who have and are serving Canada as members of the military forces and to “teach” Canadian youth the value of

The gymnasium at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville is a sea of students, mostly red-shirted but certainly all dancing, as they perform for a Harlem Shake video which was made at the school last Friday afternoon, March 22.

Harlem Shake

Food Bank. Teacher Jennifer Quinn, at the Harlem Shake assembly which was being held as a fun windup to the school’s fundraising initiatives, told the students that through their small acts of kindness in these initiatives, they were making a difference and demonstrating Ottawa Catholic School Board’s current spiritual theme “By Our Works, We Show Our Faith.” At the conclusion of the Harlem Shake videoing, a draw was held for two tickets to an upcoming Ottawa Senators game against the Washington Capitals. The tickets were donated by a parent in the school community, with the proceeds going to CHEO. Nicholas Taite, a student in Ms. Erica Mallamo’s kindergarten class, was the winner of the draw which was made by Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee John Curry. Principal Mr. Santos told the students that he was proud of their fundraising efforts. See YOUTUBE, page 45 0328.R0011989819

EMC news - A Harlem Shake happened in Stittsville last Friday, March 22. A video following the Harlem Shake formula that created a viral trend on YouTube beginning in early February was shot at St. Stephen Catholic School on Stittsville Main Street, involving all of the schools 440 students and staff. It was all done as a fun reward for the recent fundraising activities at the school. This has included raising funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) with a Mr. Santos Day in which students were encouraged to wear a moustache and tie as a tribute to school principal Bob Santos and also collecting pennies for the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign of the Stephen Lewis Foundation in which grandmothers in Canada provide funds to help grandmothers in Africa who are caring for children orphaned due to AIDS. And then, last Friday, students were encouraged to donate food items for the Stittsville

This has included helping the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign, CHEO and the Stittsville Food Bank. He particularly noted the food donations to the Food Bank, noting how when he was a young boy, his family, just arrived from Portugal, received a needed box of food delivered by the parish priest. It is something that he has never forgotten, he said, and he predicted that some youngster whose family is being helped by the Stittsville Food Bank now will remember the generosity and help in the decades to come, just like he has remem-

bered when his parents and family were helped by a food donation. But it was the Harlem Shake involving the whole school population that was the real highlight of the afternoon assembly. Students and staff, as per Harlem Shake crazy dress protocol, as it were, were wearing hockey jerseys, with some with crazy accessories like sunglasses or wigs or the like. And since virtually all are Ottawa Senators fans (Mr. Santos was wearing a white Montreal Canadiens jersey while there was one or two Maple Leaf jerseys spotted), the assembled group was a virtual sea of red.

The Harlem Shake, for those who have not discovered it on YouTube although millions have, viewing thousands of versions that have been uploaded, Harlem Shake videos feature part of the song Harlem Shake by American electronic musician Baauer. The song starts with a 15 second intro, a bass drop, then 15 seconds with the bass and a lion roar at the end of the first 30 seconds. Usually a Harlem Shake video begins with one person, often helmeted or masked, dancing to the song alone for 15 seconds, surrounded by other people not paying attention or seemingly unaware of the dancing individual. When the bass to the song drops, the video cuts to the entire crowd doing a crazy dance for the rest of the video.

At St. Stephen, the Harlem Shake video began with Mr. Santos seeming to address the assembled student body on a serious matter, standing at a podium with a “Go Sens Go” banner on the wall behind him. And then, suddenly, there appears behind him the CHEO bear, doing a dance. But, as instructed, the assembled students appear to take no notice of the dancing bear. And then, suddenly, the gymnasium is alive with everyone – students and teachers – going crazy, dancing. It was a Harlem Shake happening. The ensuing video will now be uploaded to YouTube, becoming one of the more than 40,000 Harlem Shake videos uploaded to YouTube, viewed by millions.

90th birthday celebration for George Murphy John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - George Murphy of Richmond is now 90 years old. He reached the milestone last Saturday, March 23, with the occasion celebrated at an afternoon gathering of family and friends at the McCordick Road home of his daughter and her husband Colleen and Randy Jones just outside Richmond. Indeed, this was the third event celebrating

George’s 90th birthday, as he had recently been honoured at celebrations at St. Philip’s Catholic Church and at the Richmond Legion. Among those at last Saturday afternoon’s celebration was William Murphy (no relation), who was a buddy of George’s when they worked in the mines in Northern Ontario in their youth. William Murphy, in fact, was the person who drove George and his bride Heather around on their wedding day. He had a lengthy career in mining and now lives in Gatineau. Six of the nine children of George and

Heather Murphy were present at the Saturday celebration – Colleen, Sharon, Marilyn, Brian, Bernie and Pete. There were also grandchildren and numerous friends. Among the goodies at the event were two birthday cakes celebrating George’s 90th, including one unique circular cake featuring shamrocks, a Royal Canadian Legion crest, newspaper clippings and a wedding anniversary photo of George and Heather. George Murphy was born in Quinnville, Quebec in 1923 and was one of three Murphy brothers to join the Army, signing up himself in 1942. After basic training in Peterborough followed by advanced training at Camp Borden, George was sent overseas in Nov. 1943 as part of the Service Corps. He was involved in the D-Day invasion, leaving England on D-Day and after crossing the English Channel, landing at Juno Beach. George was not only part of the first wave of the invasion but also was involved in the liberation of Belgium and Holland. He remembers the welcome of the Dutch people and their hospitality towards Canadian soldiers. Following the end of the war in Europe, George volunteered to take part in the Canadi-

an Forces being prepared for duty in the Pacific but the war’s abrupt ending meant that he did not see any action on that front. 1948 was a big year in George’s life. He joined International Nickel (INCO) at Creighton Mines as a driller, eventually rising up the ladder to become mine captain. And in Nov. 1948, he married Heather Beardsell. They went on to have nine children and will be celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary later this year. Upon retirement from INCO in 1976, George and Heather moved to Richmond. He worked as a meter reader for Goulbourn Hydro in the village of Richmond, becoming a familiar face to many village residents due to his regular meter reading tours of the community. George has been active in the Richmond Branch 625 of the Royal Canadian Legion, including a time as president. He has also served as president of the Richmond Legion’s Club 55. He is a Life Member of the Royal Canadian Legion. He served as chair of the Richmond Neighbourhood Watch and Community Policing groups in the 1990’s. He spearheaded the building of a giant snowman along Perth Street during Richmond’s 175th anniversary year in 1993.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Heather and George Murphy, who will be celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary later this year, cut the cake at George’s 90th birthday party last Saturday, March 23.

Mary Cook’s Memories

At this time of year, we five children begged for toffee-on-snow as the sap poured from the trees, and that meant hauling in a roaster of spotlessly clean snow. As well as the boiling-down in the big flat pan in the bush, Mother would boil big pots of sap in the kitchen filling the house with sweet heavy steam. Each night we children begged for toffee-on-snow, but often Mother would say it was a Saturday night treat and we went to bed out of sorts that we have been deprived of one of our favourite treats. Each night that we were allowed this indulgence Everett or Audrey, being the two oldest in the family, would be sent out for a roast pan of snow. Mother kept sending them farther and farther afield for clean snow. Mother was fastidious about anything that came within a country mile of our mouths and using a roast pan of snow where the livestock had trod was out of the question. So either Everett or Audrey was given the task of finding clean snow for the toffee -- Emerson couldn’t be trusted to go beyond the barn yard. That night it was dark as pitch outside. It had been a heavy snow for

Toffee-on-snow is a tasty treat

late March. Mother said we would be staying home. No church party had been planned and no one had offered their home for a game of cards, so we had a rare Saturday night at home without a house full of neighbours. It was a perfect night for toffee-onsnow. Audrey would carry the lantern and Everett the roast pan and the big soup ladle, ready to bring in the freshly fallen snow. Mother had put a small pot of already boiled syrup on the front lid of the Findlay Oval and it was fair jumping by the time the clean snow was brought into the house, just perfect to pour out on the snow for a feed of sticky toffee. Although Mother always trusted Audrey or Everett to go well away from the barn yard, that night she took a big spoon and dragged it through the roaster of snow, just to be on the safe side. Well, what happened next was something like you would see in a picture show in Renfrew. There, buried in the pan of snow, was something that proved they hadn’t gone far enough. Mother stared at the black lump, which wasn’t big enough to ﬁll a teaspoon, but big enough to send her into a ﬁt.

She demanded to know where the snow came from, and both Audrey and Everett vowed it came from the farthest reaches of the yard where no livestock ever went. Well, that didn’t satisfy Mother. Even though she had no idea what the black lump was, she knew it had spoiled the entire roaster of snow. Audrey said she would get rid of it and that the rest of the roaster was perfectly clean. Well, she might as well have told Mother the lump was just a raisin. Mother was having no part of her story. “Dump it out, Audrey,” Mother said. Well, did that cause an uproar. Emerson accused Everett and Audrey of getting the snow from behind the cow byre where we dumped the manure, Everett took a handful of the snow out of the roaster and ﬂung it at Emerson, who paid him back by throwing his gum rubber at him, hitting him square in the face. Audrey was ready to stomp off upstairs. Mother ordered her back to the table and she was told to scrub the roaster with hot water and lye soap, even though the teeny bit of black came no where near touching the pan. The commotion in the kitchen was like something you’d see in a movie.

Canadian families spend only minutes preparing breakfast newscanada.com Special to the News

EMC lifestyle - Mornings are hectic for many families. Between getting out the door to school on weekdays and extra-curriculars on weekends, ﬁnding the time to cook and eat breakfast can be a challenge. A national poll of family breakfast habits, recently found that half of Canadian families --49 per cent -- spend less than 10 minutes preparing breakfast, while more than half (60 per cent) spend less than 15 minutes eating it. So to make the most of that tight time window and take utmost advantage of the most important meal of the day, quick options are a must. Realizing that time and convenience are key to the solution, the Canadian Living test kitchen has created a “make ahead and forget about it” breakfast recipe slow cooker peaches ‘n’ cream oatmeal that is sure to become a family staple. Hands-on time: ﬁve minutes. Total time: six

hours. Ingredients 315 ml (1 1/3 cups) steel-cut oats 4 ml (3/4 tsp) salt 45 ml (3 tbsp) packed brown sugar 5 ml (1 tsp) ground ginger 500 ml (2 cups) chilled peach juice beverage 250 ml (1 cup) milk 250 ml (1 cup) water 15 ml (1 tbsp) vanilla 500 ml (2 cups) frozen peaches milk or cream (optional) Preparation Lightly grease the inside of the slow cooker. Add oats, salt, sugar, ginger, juice beverage, milk, water, vanilla and peaches and stir the ingredients together. Cover and cook on low for six hours. If needed, set slow cooker to keep the oatmeal warm until you’re ready to enjoy you meal. Spoon into bowls and drizzle with milk if desired. Makes six to eight servings

Methodist Campgrounds plaque John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Methodist Campgrounds in Stittsville, founded by the Holiness Movement Church, are going to be commemorated. The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is going ahead on a project to erect a plaque to mark the history of this church-based campgrounds which existed in Stittsville from the turn of the century to the mid-1970’s. Historical Society president Barbara Bottriell announced this decision to proceed with the project at the Society’s March program presentation

at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Saturday afternoon, March 16. She is still seeking two more volunteers to serve on a committee of four which is being established to do research about the campgrounds and its history. Members of the committee will identify and interview people who attended the campgrounds or who were associated with the Holiness Movement Church or, after 1959, the Free Methodist Church. The suggestion that the Historical Society undertake such a project to commemorate the Methodist Campgrounds was made by Lillian Hobbs of Munster at the Society’s an-

nual general meeting in January. She had made the same suggestion previously. The campgrounds, which eventually included a permanent worship building as well as a number of family cottages, were located in an area more or less bounded by Manchester Street on the south, Jonathan Pack Street on the west, Poole Creek on the north and Alexander Grove on the east. The area now boasts not only residential development in Forest Heights Avenue and Long Meadow Way but also is home to a soccer field and the ball diamond behind the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena.
