News - The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) has come and gone but it will be back. It was made clear at last Monday’s OEB community consultation about the proposed TransCanada Energy East pipeline that the OEB is involved in a two-part consultation process involving not only the current series of community consultation meetings but a second round later this year. All of the same communities where these initial community consultation meetings are being held, including Stittsville, will be the sites of these subsequent meetings.

News - Hair today, gone tomorrow. That will be the case for the 150 participants in the upcoming Hair Donation Ottawa cancer research fundraiser which is coming up on Sunday, April 27. This fourth annual event, now hosted at the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon on Woodroffe Avenue, began as a local Stittsville event. It has now grown to involve 25 hair stylists and 150 participants, with $31,000 raised last year and almost $32,000 raised so far this year, with eyes set on reaching as high as $50,000. And this is just the beginning, as it is hoped that with a planned expansion of the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon, this Hair Donation Ottawa fundraising event will grow even more, doubling the number of participants, reaching the $100,000 fundraising mark and perhaps launching across Canada. But right now, for this year’s fourth annual event, over 125 participants are already registered, most to donate hair but including six who will be having their heads shaved. There is still room for a few more with 150 participants as the limit that can be handled. With a couple of weeks to go, funds raised already are over last year’s total. See HAIR, page 3

News - A retired Major-General who is a former Canadian Defence Attache to the United States was the guest speaker at last Saturday evening’s Veterans Dinner at the Legion Hall in Stittsville. Major-General (Ret’d) Doug Langton enjoyed a lengthy career in the Canadian Forces, joining in 1975 while attending the University of Waterloo. After completing over 35 years of service, he retired from the Canadian Forces in Nov. 2010 and assumed his current position as Associate Director, General Morale and Welfare Services, in Dec. 2010. It was in 1995 that Major-General Langton became a member of the directing staff at the Canadian Forces Command and Staff College. This was following a number of postings associated with the Maritime Helicopter community including Commanding Officer, 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron in British Columbia. In 1996, he was appointed Wing Commander, 5 Wing Goose Bay. Then, in 2001, he was promoted to Brigadier-General and appointed Director General Air Force Development. In 2002, he was assigned as Director Force PlanJOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND ning and Program Coordination.

In 2007, Major-General Langton was assigned as Commander, Canadian Defence Liaison Staff in Washington and also Canadian Defence Attache to the United States. In his remarks at the dinner, Major-General Langton told about the workings of General Morale and Services where he currently works. “We are responsible for delivering services to currently serving members and their families,� he said, outlining that the services include programs such as fitness and sports, recreation and family services. Major-General Langton also mentioned the phrase “Thank You For Your Service� which those in the Canadian Forces now hear, saying that it is a most appropriate statement in these current times. He said that using the phrase indicates a desire by people to participate in the act of gratitude towards soldiers who have participated in areas of conflict. At the Veterans Dinner, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri presented city of Ottawa congratulatory messages to Gloria Stewart and Rosemary Morin, both of whom are now 90 years old. They recently shared a birthday celebration at the Bistro 54 restaurant at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club. Both Gloria and Rosemary are World War Two British veterans as well as war brides who came to Canada with their new husbands and raised their families in Canada.

Celebrating Volunteers Volunteers are an integral part of the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa’s (CASO) work, generously donating approximately 30,000 hours of their time each year. Volunteer tasks are varied and flexible, matching interests and skills with volunteer positions and working with people’s busy schedules. While some of CASO’s volunteer opportunities require a moderate time commitment, Special Assignments allow for more flexibility and can include: organizing, event management, providing entertainment, or acting as photographers at events. Volunteer Drivers support children and youth in care by providing a safe non-judgmental space where they can comfortably sit in silence or speak with an attentive listener. Child Access Volunteers similarly help to provide a safe space by supervising visits between parents and children. Pre-School Volunteers and Tutor/ Mentors provide more formalized guidance. Pre-School Volunteers assist professional staff, guiding children from three months to five years through a variety of weekly programs. Tutors/ Mentors, under the supervision of the case worker, help school-aged children with subjects like math, english and science, encouraging students to develop their interests and build educational goals. Volunteering with CASO is a learning opportunity for the volunteers themselves as they undergo training, work collaboratively with fellow volunteers and staff and develop relationships with foster parents and the families we serve. April 6-12, 2014 is National Volunteer Week, an opportunity for us to take stock of the time that volunteers across the country donate daily. We would like to take this opportunity to formally thank our volunteers for their tireless work. Their contribution to supporting children and youth in care, and the Ottawa community more broadly, makes a difference every day and every hour.

OEB follow-up meeting to happen probably during the summer to look at pipeline safety and the impact on the natural environment, is to look at the impact on local communities and is to examine the short and long term economic impact of the project. To assist in its deliberations, the OEB has retained expertise in pipeline engineering, safety and integrity including leak detection and emergency response, in environmental and economic considerations and in the implications of the project on natural gas prices. It was stated, in response to a question at the meeting, that climate change has been an issue that has been raised at every community consultation meeting to date and is a matter that will be addressed in the OEB report. There is some concern, though, about whether the National Energy Board will be open to climate change arguments. The Energy East pipeline project, as proposed by TransCanada, involves a pipeline that would carry crude oil from Alberta to New Brunswick. Through Ontario, the pipeline would include the conversion of 1900 kilometers of current natural gas pipeline to an oil pipeline. The project would also involve construction of 100 kilometers of new pipeline as well as construction of 30 new pumping stations along the route through Ontario. After the opening presentation by the OEB and a series of questions from the public for clarification purposes, nine presentations by organizations which had registered to make such presentations at the meeting were heard. This was followed by a public question
It was suggested that this follow-up meeting would likely happen sometime over the summer, with the OEB presenting its preliminary findings and views on the pipeline proposal at these meetings. Last Monday’s meeting at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, which attracted about 250 people who were seated at tables throughout the hall, featured an introductory presentation by the OEB, explaining the OEB’s role mainly as providing regulatory oversight of Ontario’s natural gas and electricity sectors and also explaining that the Ontario Minister of Energy has asked the OEB to report on the Energy East pipeline proposal from an Ontario perspective. The Minister and provincial government will then use the OEB report in preparing its position on the project before the National Energy Board which will be conducting hearings on the proposal once TransCanada has submitted a formal application for the project, expected sometime this summer. It was pointed out that ultimately it will be the federal government cabinet which will make the final decision about this proposed Energy East pipeline following a report made by the National Energy Board after its hearings on the matter. It is estimated that it could be up to two years before any National Energy Board recommendations about the project are provided to the cabinet for a decision. The OEB’s report on the proposed pipeline is to examine the impact of the project on natural gas consumers in the province, is
and discussion period. The Stittsville Village Association was one of the nine organizations to sign up to make a presentation to this Ontario Energy Board community consultation meeting about TransCanada’s proposed Energy East pipeline in Stittsville last Monday evening. Spokespeople for other organizations presenting at the meeting included mayor Doug Struthers of the Village of Merrickville-Wolford; students of Joel Harden from Carleton University; Andrea Harden of the Council of Canadians; Ben Powless of Ecology Ottawa; Liz Bernstein of the Nobel Women’s Initiative; Richard Hayter of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Eastern Ontario; Muthanna Subbaiah of 350 Ottawa; and Stephanie Bolt of the Ottawa Riverkeeper. In her remarks, Ayah Stretch of the Stittsville Village Association dealt with concerns such as TransCanada’s application to hike gas transmission tolls, placing a cost on consumers for this project; more frequent in-line inspections of the pipeline with the use of the so-called Smart PIG device; seismic fault line precautionary measures; and a community benefit agreement. Presenters had to limit their presentations to five minutes. Ecology Ottawa has released a report urging the city of Ottawa to review this Energy East pipeline project, citing the high risks involved in having this pipeline run across farmland and rivers in the city. So far the city of Ottawa has not committed itself to formally reviewing the project nor involving itself in any provincial or federal reviews of the project.

Cabling Ottawa Orange Team is Town League champion Special to the News
Sports - The Cabling Ottawa Orange Team is this season’s Stittsville Town League champion. The Orange Team shut out the Bond’s Décor Green Team 3-0 in the deciding game of their best-of-three playoff championship series on Wednesday night, April 2 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. After a scoreless first period, the Orange Team scored the only game of the second period on an individual effort by Orange Team captain and leading scorer Steve McJannet. He picked up a loose puck around the Green Team blue line and after sweeping around a defender, powered in front of the net where he deposited the puck into the net behind a sprawling Green Team goalie. It was a big night for Steve McJannet as he not only scored this second period goal which turned out to be the game winner in the 3-0 victory but also assisted on both of the other Orange Team goals scored in the third period. John Ostapyk and Matt Yakabuski scored these other goals for the Orange Team. Matt Yakabuski also picked
up an assist on the Ostapyk goal. Steve McJannet was the leading scorer in the Stittsville Town League this past season. Members of the championship Cabling Ottawa Orange Team are goalie Andrew Gibson and players Shane Byrne, Pat Croteau, Jay Gallinger, Trevor Graham, Matt Hand, Don Johnstone, Jordin Lovitt, Matt Yakabuski, Steve McJannet, John Ostapyk, Scott Vennor, Jamie Small and Scott Sherman.

News - It’s going to be “T” time at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville on Saturday, May 3. But it’s not the “tea” that you drink, although there should be some available during the halftime intermission break when dessert goodies and beverages will be served. Rather, “T” time at St. Andrew’s on Saturday, May 3 refers to a “Time, Talent and Treasures” fundraising live auction which will be taking place in the church hall. Colin McKeown of Stittsville, who is host of “The Fly Fisher” television show, will be the auctioneer for this live auction. Doors for the church hall will open at 6:30 p.m. with the auction getting underway at 7 p.m. And what an auction it is going to be as organizers out canvassing businesses in Stittsville and Kanata for donated items for the auction are receiving a most positive reception. “We have all kinds of really great stuff,” says Joan Watts, one of the organizers and canvassers and notes that there are more items to come in. She is expecting over 100 items available at the auction. And what a variety! They will include not only items such as gift cards donated by businesses but also all kinds of items donated by the congregation such as homemade pies, furniture refinishing and babysitting services. So far auction items also include tickets to
a concert featuring Canadian singer and songwriter Michael Buble, season tickets to the Ron Maslin Playhouse in Kanata, snow removal for a season, an Ottawa Senators jersey, and a three-month membership for Cooligan Martial Arts. There will be CD’s by various artists, gift baskets galore, gift certificates for yoga, flowers and other services and more. Admission to this “Time, Talent and Treasures” auction will be $5 for adults and $3 for children. Everyone is welcome to attend but seating is fairly limited and early acquisition of tickets is recommended. Tickets are available from the church office at 613-831-1256 or online at office@standrews-stittsville.ca or from members of the congregation. The church’s website should soon have a listing of all of the items that will be up for grabs at the auction. The auction is being held to raise funds for the church’s long-anticipated addition that will make the church fully wheelchair accessible. Fundraising for this addition has been going on for a number of years now but it is hoped that this “Time, Talent and Treasures” auction will help push the fundraising campaign to its goal. If you have something that you would like to donate for this live auction and help St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church achieve its fundraising goal for its new addition, please contact Joan Watts at 613-831-0937 or call the church office at 613-831-1256. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church is located at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street in Stittsville.

Separate fact from fiction
T
he best man in Ottawa has taken a tumble courtesy of some shotgun silliness emerging from yet another sensitivity-spooked sports organization in the capital. A couple weeks ago, the Ottawa RedBlacks introduced Big Joe Mufferaw as the football teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new mascot to the applause of hundreds of delighted children at the Kanata French public school in Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grant. The schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-principal, Matthieu Vachon, said Mufferaw was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wonderful choice of name.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jos Montferrand is a pioneer of French language rights in Ontario, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great choice of name for the mascot of the team, and it shows the heritage of Ottawa and eastern Ontario,â&#x20AC;? he said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to note that Big Joe Mufferaw is a fictional character created by Ottawa Valley author Bernie Bedore that was inspired by the exploits of a French Canadian logger. But only three days after the announcement, following a string of â&#x20AC;&#x153;severalâ&#x20AC;? complaints, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, the group that owns the RedBlacks, gave the name the old heave-ho, deciding to go with Big Joe or Grand Jos. Apparently, the sports group was deluged with â&#x20AC;&#x153;severalâ&#x20AC;? emails and phone calls (it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite reach â&#x20AC;&#x153;dozensâ&#x20AC;? proportions) complaining how the name was an anglicized version of Montferrand.
And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the â&#x20AC;&#x153;severalâ&#x20AC;? people who expressed their displeasure over the Twitterverse, with messages denouncing the football teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sensitivity to the sensitivities of French Canadians. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a reality check: Big Joe Mufferaw is a fictional character. You can dislike a fictional character. You can refuse to read a book or watch a movie about a fictional character. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a little silly if you try to stop others from reading or watching movies about a fictional character. Clearly, the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) were a little gun shy about offending francophones, considering it was only a few months away from the newly created teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season opener at Lansdowne Park. OSEG should have shown a little backbone and stuck with their original choice. Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional sports teams are already starting to earn a reputation for being wishy washy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been little more than a year since Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s franchise professional basketball team dropped the name TomaHawks, following complaints from several fans, who claimed the team name misappropriated First Nations culture. Tomahawk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an inanimate object. History has shown us that a small and determined group of people can make a real difference in this world. But sometimes they shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

f you know Ottawa at all, you know that it is a city of cults. There are little groups, hundreds of them scattered about, that are interested in the most out of the way things. You might think you are the only one fascinated with, say, the political thought of M.J. Coldwell or the proper way to cook an eel, but there is probably a group meeting about that right now. For a while it appeared that people who believed in the arrival of spring were another oddball aggregation. But it turns out maybe they were right. This is by way of an introduction to a unique meeting that happened a couple of weeks ago when the former Montreal Expos outfielder, Ellis Valentine, was in town. An invitation went out to meet him and help the Miracle League of Ottawa, a group that helps special-needs children, young adults and adults play baseball on specially-constructed fields. Valentine didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play long enough for the Expos -- six years -- to become one of the team legends -- except to the cult. He was traded away in the middle of the 1981 playoff season and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t around for some of the exciting times that followed. But he

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town was a fine hitter and outfielder, known for his throwing arm. Before Gary Carter, Andre Dawson and Tim Raines emerged as stars, Valentine was the best guy on the Expos, an all-star in 1977. And, of course, there are people who remember that, even though Valentine had not been in an Expos uniform for more than 30 years. So they came to a Westboro pub, helped the cause, got autographs and heard Valentine, who had arrived from Texas, give a graceful little speech about the Expos, baseball and the Miracle League. It would be fair to say that this cult consisted largely of middle-aged men and men who wished they were still middle-aged. Some of them were wearing Expos uniform shirts and there was a guy wearing a Phillies

uniform too. We all stood in line for autographs and a chance to chat. Which is to say that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never too old to be fanatical about stuff. And that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply just to Westboro. There were undoubtedly many other unexpected events taking place in other Ottawa venues the same night. The quintessential thing about being in a cult is that you believe, no matter what. A couple of days later the cult of the Expos had grown into a wave, gathered at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, ostensibly to watch an exhibition baseball game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Mets, but really to will into existence a new major league baseball team for Montreal. Montreal has been without one since 2004. For two days, the Olympic Stadium was filled in a way that the Expos had not been able to fill it in their last doomed years. This may also have had something to do with being desperate for arrival of spring. Whatever the reason, they packed the place with roaring voices and Expos shirts that had been in the bottom drawer for many years. It was an impressive show, a demonstration of hope. It may not succeed, because it is up against the irrational realities of sports capitalism, but it was moving to see.
Among the group at the Ellis Valentine night were people involved in bringing baseball back to what used to be called the Lynx Stadium next year. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another demonstration of hope. The Lynx, in the 1990s, rode a wave of baseball enthusiasm in Ottawa and then suddenly the wave disappeared. Maybe it can reappear. Stranger things happen every day in this town. Meanwhile, it is comforting to be reminded that, no matter how arcane is your interest, no matter how distant your target, in Ottawa you are not alone. Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that eel tasting?

CITY OF OTTAWA CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMBINED SEWAGE STORAGE TUNNEL NOTICE OF FILING OF ADDENDUM In February 2013, the City of Ottawa completed a ‘Schedule C’ Class Environmental Assessment (EA) to develop a preferred solution and functional design for additional storage of combined sewage in the ultimate combined sewer area of Ottawa. In 2013, Combined Sewage Storage Tunnel (CSST) Environmental Study Report (ESR) was completed. The preferred design of the CSST consists of an east-west tunnel (EWT) through the downtown core from LeBreton Flats to New Edinburgh Park and a north-south tunnel (NST) along Kent Street from Catherine Street to the existing outfall north of Wellington Street. The 2013 ESR concluded that the preferred design for the NST would include a construction staging area in St. Laurent Square. After consultation took place during preliminary design of the CSST in 2014, it was determined that the CSST could be extended south to Chamberlain Street for an alternative construction staging area for the NST. The resulting change in the preferred construction staging area requires additional property. An addendum is required to evaluate the potential environmental implications.
By this Notice, the Addendum is being placed on the public record in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Engineers Association Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2000, as amended 2007 and 2011). Please note that only the changes proposed in the Addendum are open for review. A copy of the Addendum report, and the 2013 ESR, will be available for viewing at the following locations: http://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/public-consultations/sewers-and-wastewater/combined-sewer-overflows City of Ottawa, Client Service Centre: 110 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa Public Library, Hazeldean: 50 Castlefrank Road Ottawa Public Library, Ruth E.

This request must be received by the Minister, at the address listed below, prior to May 5, 2014. A copy of the request must also be sent to the City of Ottawa at the address listed above.

private training session on the art of Kung Fu, its practice in regular activities of life and hands-on self defence. This training session took place later in the evening when much of the restaurant was made over first into a classroom and then into a training area. Customers walking into the restaurant were surprised to see so many staff engaged in Kung Fu but some even stayed a while to watch, clutching their take-out food orders. The 12 staff members participating received an unexpected educational experience as they did not know what type of training they were about to receive. Prior to the start of the training, there was speculation among the staff that the incoming guest speaker was possibly going to talk about health and safety. You can image their amazement when they learned that they were going to be learning Kung Fu in the training session. This is something that Kungfu Bistro marketing manager Margarita Chen had wanted to do for the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staff for some time. A couple of weeks ago, the staff had received new clothing with the saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep Calm, I Know Kungfuâ&#x20AC;? on it. The training reinforced this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Keep Calmâ&#x20AC;? message as the staff received instruction that all avenues of negotiation and verbal communication must be tried and exhausted before a situation is allowed to escalate. Being calm and relaxed are key traits for those involved in customer service at a restaurant like Kungfu Bistro.
Kungfu Bistro staff who participated in the training were Carina Joneit, Ashley Dolynchuk, Brad Slatter, Colin Pybus, Cori Breton, Frankie Martin, Jessica King, Julia Chen, Kaelan Adams, Irene Shao, Maxwell Chen and Evan Cheer. And staff members were impressed with the training. Comments back from staff indicated that the training session was viewed as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;very enlightening,â&#x20AC;? as being an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amazing experience,â&#x20AC;? and as being something that will be a lifelong memory. Sifu Walter from the Sunny Tang Kung Fu Club was praised as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;great teacherâ&#x20AC;? with â&#x20AC;&#x153;an enlightened way of teaching.â&#x20AC;? Staff noted that relaxation is the key in any situation and that Wing Chun Kung Fu is â&#x20AC;&#x153;super cool.â&#x20AC;? Kung Fu refers to the Chinese martial arts which are a number of fighting styles which have developed over the centuries in China. The genesis of Chinese martial arts has been attributed to the need for self-defense, hunting techniques and military training in ancient China. According to legend, Chinese martial arts originated more than 4,000 years ago. Most fighting styles that are being practiced as traditional Chinese martial arts today reached their popularity in the 20th century. Wing Chun is one of these styles. Chinese martial arts focus on more than physical training. They also are concerned with so-called internal training included the heart, the spirit, the mind, breathing and strength. Wing Chun, specifically, is a form of Kung Fu.

Joe Brownrigg sings original tunes at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Singer/songwriter Joe Brownrigg filled the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville with his own unique songs at last Friday’s music evening. All of the tunes that Joe performed, accompanying himself on the guitar, were his own original compositions. He has been writing songs for about two decades, gaining inspira-
tion from his family life, his work and other life experiences. And so his songs tell stories, be they about gang violence in Chicago which had an impact on him in his life as a police officer, about a relationship that has deteriorated, about dreams being put on the back burner and more, all reallife songs. A couple of years ago, he recorded a CD called “The Wild” about the emotional battles that police officers confront in their careers. He
received a grant from the Ontario Arts Council to do this CD. The coffee shop was filled for his performance including the presence of his wife and children. Among those at the event was even a three week old baby! Joe Brownrigg’s website can be found at http://www.joebrownrigg.com/index/ where some of his music can be heard and even downloaded. The Gaia Java Coffee Company shop holds music evenings every Friday at 7 p.m., featur-
ing a variety of performers from high school students to vocal groups to seasoned entertainers. Attendance at these Friday music evenings is free, although early arrival is recommended for the best seating. This Friday, April 11, the vocal a cappella group Harmonic Generation will be performing. There will be no music evening at the Gaia Java shop on Friday, April 18 which is Good Friday.

News - A project with ramifications for eastern Ontario was the focus of an open house in North Gower Thursday, April 3. TransCanada Pipelines hosted the public open house from 4-8 p.m. at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre. The goal was to provide information and education to the public and gather input, opinions and feedback about the development of the TransCanada pipeline project called Energy East Pipeline. Public engagement programs, such as the information session held in North Gower, will continue in communities along the pipeline route to encourage people to learn more about the project. The exact route of the pipeline and pump station locations will be determined after assessing, considering and incorporating the input and concerns of numerous landowners, stakeholders, local communities, and municipal, provincial and federal governments. “This open house is to share information about the pipeline with people of the communities,” said Philippe Cannon, a spokesman for TransCanada. “We have experts here to answer any precise questions people may have.” TransCanada’s Energy East Pipeline intends to move forward with the development of the 4,500 kilometre pipeline that will transport approximately 1.1 million barrels of crude oil per day from the oil sands in Alberta and Saskatchewan to refineries in Eastern Canada. According to a TransCanada Energy East Pipeline information booklet An Introduction, January 2014, currently the project has three major components: • converting existing natural gas pipelines to an oil transportation pipeline, • constructing new pipelines to link up to the converted pipe in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Eastern Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick, • and constructing the associated facilities, pump stations and tank terminals required to move crude oil from Alberta to Quebec and New Brunswick, including marine facilities that enable access to other markets by ship. TransCanada would be “converting part of Canadian main pipeline that is natural gas to oil,” says Cannon. This would account for approximately 70

per cent of the new pipeline and over half of the additional pipeline would run parallel to the rights-of-way of existing pipeline. Cannon also claims that the pipeline is very safe “almost an inch thick under areas of concern such as water” and that pipelines provide the most efficient and economical means of transporting oil. Ecology Ottawa and some other local groups disagree with these claims of safety and raise concerns about the serious risks involved in the pipeline. A volunteer at Ecology Ottawa, bio-fuel engineer and energy management professional Mike Fletcher, conducted three reports that were released on Thursday to outline the risks. “The risks associated with this pipeline are too high for Ottawa to take,” Fletcher said. “It is not a question of if a spill will happen, but when, and if we are prepared for such a scenario.” The first problem Fletcher outlines is of diluents and rail traffic. In order for the oil to flow through the pipeline, light and flammable hydrocarbons called diluents are added to the bitumen. After the oil arrives at the refinery the diluents are removed from the oil and shipped back to the West coast by rail increasing as many as 450 toxic and flammable train cars each day. The second report focuses on pipeline oil spills and the devastating effects. Diluted bitumen oil spills endanger all nearby residents of the pipeline as well as first response teams. Everyone near a spill has his or her health put at risk. And the third report released by Fletcher demonstrates why the Energy East Pipeline has the potential to cause a spill through a leak or rupture and explains the permanent aftermath of contamination that follows. Nearby land and water exposed to the toxic spill will become contaminated and cause illness to those who continue to live there. “This pipeline creates a risk of dilbit spills into neighbourhoods and water supplies, while increasing the chances of railway accidents due to the transportation of toxic and flammable diluents by rail. We stand with the thousands of residents who have already said no to this pipeline,” said Ben Powless, Ecology Ottawa’s Community Organizer, to the media. TransCanada intends to continue the promotion of the Energy East Pipeline and sharing of information to communities that could see the pipeline in their own backyards.

Two Stittsville fibre artists exhibit in show John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
News - Art from two Stittsville artists were among the works on display at the annual “Fibre Fling 3” show and sale of the Out of the Box fibre artists group at the Kitchissippi United Church in Ottawa last Friday and Saturday. Both Jo-Ann Zorzi and Frances Taylor, both Stittsville residents, had work in this annual show which the Out of the Box fibre artists host in partnership with Kitchissippi United Church. The show featured work by a variety of artists associated with the Out of the Box fibre artists group including several who had exhibited in the exhibit of fibre art put on by the group at the ArtSpace Wall at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last year. Jo-Ann Zorzi of Stittsville is a fibre artist who creates silk fibre wall hangings. Jo-Ann has always been interested in art but spent most of her adult life as a scientist. But she has recently pursued her passion for art and particularly likes the tactile nature of silk fibre with which she creates her fibre pieces. She has development a number of her own techniques through experimentation and recently has begun to incorporate cotton, linen, hemp and woolen fibres into her work, although
silk remains her predominant medium. Frances Taylor of Stittsville is now retired from a career with the federal government and is enjoying her time as a mixed media and fibre artist. She creates needle-felted artwork and wearable art using silk, wool and other fibres. She frequently uses hand-dyed silks and threads, hand embroidery, semi-previous stones and even recycled copper to achieve the colours and textures that she wants. She draws her inspiration from her childhood images of the slate grey, blue/green North Sea where she grew up, from the fragile marshes and alvar landscapes of Eastern Ontario and from the landscapes of the Canadian Shield. The Out of the Box fibre artists group, which has now grown to a membership around 70, was founded in 1997. It is a cooperative association of artists who are passionate about creating innovative, thought-provoking works of art and promoting fibre art through exhibitions, education and professional development. Members include machine and hand embroiderers, art quilters, weavers, felters, doll makers, silk painters, dyers, mixed media and other types of artists. Members are drawn together by a love of texture, colour and creation of an atmosphere of mutual support and friendship. The group’s website can be found at www. out-of-the-box.org .

Book sale at library Special to the News
News - Book lovers – here come some books at great prices. The “A Good Read” book store at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library will be holding its spring book sale on Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the library branch on Stittsville Main Street. And what a sale! All of the gently used books on sale will be going for half price but it depends on the price of the book. For instance, for one dollar, customers will get two books that are selling for one dollar. However, if a book has a two dollar price on it, then the customer will be able to buy two such books (a $4 total) for just two dollars. But basically, it is a half price sale and that’s a really good deal since the books are already a great deal at their regular one or two dollar prices. All proceeds from this spring book sale will be directed by “A Good Read” book store back to the library to help purchase some of those “extras” that are not included in the regular library budget but which make the library a comfortable and great place to visit. “A Good Read” book store located at the Stittsville library branch is a good place for readers to visit, whether on book sale day or on another day. The book store always has a good selection of gently used books on sale.

Stittsville Main Street armchair walk Special to the News
News - The Goulbourn Township Historical Society is planning an armchair walk along Stittsville Main Street on Saturday, April 19 at 1:30 p.m. at the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Please note the change of venue from the initial scheduling of the event.

This armchair walking tour will show how Stittsville Main Street has changed over the years. Hopefully some memories will be triggered and those attending will share some of their own stories as well about Stittsville Main Street of the past. Everyone is welcome to attend. There is no admission charge and light refreshments will be available as is usual at such Historical Society gatherings. On Saturday, May 17 at 1:30 p.m., the Goodwood Masonic Lodge on McBean
Street in Richmond will be the site of the Historical Society’s meeting where those in attendance will hear about the history of the Goodwood Lodge and Freemasonry in Richmond. After a summer break, the Historical Society will present a program about genealogy on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Richmond. The Historical Society’s final presentation of 2014 will deal with the history of the Richmond Fair, presented by Dale and Marlene Greene.

Luncheon
Wins $77,777 Special to the News
News - Stopping for gas at the Ultramar gas bar on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville turned his day into one lucky one. At the Ultramar Express Mart, he decided to also buy an INSTANT EMERALD 7s ticket and he hit the jackpot. He won $77,777 which is the top prize in the INSTANT EMERALD 7s game. “I checked the ticket after scratching it in the store and the machine froze,” he said. “It felt strange driving tow work knowing I’d just hit the jackpot.” Mr. Bou plans to pay off some bills and then invest the rest of his winnings. And there’s nothing like winning a jackpot to improve things. “I feel relieved,” Mr. Bou said. “I had
a lot of stress but now I’m relaxed,” he said. He picked up his winnings at the OLG Prize Centre in Toronto last week. INSTANT EMERALD 7s is an OLG game that can be played for $5 a play, with the top prize being the $77,777 which Mr. Bou won. The odds of winning a prize in the INSTANT EMERALD 7s game are given as one in 3.87. OLG is a provincial agency responsible for province-wide lottery games and gaming facilities. Since 1975 OLG’s annual payments to the province have helped support health care, education, research, prevention and treatment of problem gambling, amateur sport through the Quest for Gold program and local and provincial charities.

Spring edition of ‘Ladies Night Out’ Special to the News
News - It was a smash last fall. And now there’s going to be another one, only this time in the spring. The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School is launching a spring edition of its popular fall Stittsville Ladies Night Out event.
This first-ever spring edition will take place on Thursday, May 1 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the upstairs hall at the Kanata Recreation Complex on Terry Fox Drive in Kanata. Originally the event was going to be held in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, the same loca-
tion as last fall’s well attended event, but the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena has been closed by the city of Ottawa for renovation work related to mould and will not be available. So the venue had to be changed. This Stittsville Ladies Night Out
on Thursday, May 1 will feature local artists and entrepreneurs who will be celebrating spring by showcasing their spring-themed products and services. The spring edition will following the format of the fall events, with free hors d’oeuvres served to shoppers thanks to the generosity of Poco Pazzo restaurant. There will also be other special touches to make the
evening memorable. Right now there is still some room for more vendors. Table registration starts at $40. Vendors, though, are able to keep 100 percent of the sales of their products during the evening. If you are interested in being a vendor at this spring Stittsville Ladies Night Out event, please email fundraising@scns.ca.
Community Association planned for Jackson Trails Special to the News
News - Community issues ranging from traffic control matters to a possible splash pad are on the radar of a proposed new Jackson Trails Community Association in Stittsville. A group of Jackson Trails residents met recently with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri to talk about the possible formation of a Jackson Trails Community Association. It was determined that a general meeting should be held at which all Jackson Trails residents would be welcome to attend and join the new Community Association. At this inaugural general meeting, tentatively scheduled for Thursday, June 12 although a specific time and place have yet to be determined, executive members of the new Jackson Trails Community Association (JTCA) will be elected and the Association’s charter documents will be discussed and ratified. The meeting will also be an opportunity for residents to
discuss issues with others from the community. Issues that have been immediately identified as being important in the Jackson Trails community include the impact of the re-opening of the Waste Management landfill facility on Carp Road, traffic control issues, the anticipated development of the lands located immediately west of the Jackson Trails community, the desire to have a splash pad at Pioneer Plains Park and the possibility of holding community street parties. It is felt that it is important that communities such as Jackson Trails should have an organization that can provide a strong and unified voice on issues that impact the immediate neighbourhood. Once details about the inaugural general meeting of the new Jackson Trails Community Association are firmed up, they will be posted on the Jackson Trails Community Association Facebook page.

SC band-a-thon raises $1,500 Special to the News
News - Music filled the cafetorium at South Carleton High School in Richmond last Friday. It was the annual band-athon involving the school’s junior and senior bands which played on and on and on, all to raise funds for the Ottawa Humane Society.
When it was all said and done, $1,500 was raised for the Ottawa Humane Society at the band-a-thon. The band-a-thon also gave the band an opportunity to practice music from the “Phantom of the Opera” which the band will be performing when it travels to New York City in May.

Richmond Public School pays tribute to Earth Hour Special to the News
News - Reducing energy. Awesome. Reducing garbage. Spectacular. Green initiatives at Richmond Public School. Priceless. Richmond Public School held its own version of Earth Hour on Friday, March 28. Miss Hotchkiss, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Jehan, who are the staff members in charge of the school’s Earth Care Team, held an assembly for the students to help them realize the importance of energy conservation. The students heard how even the smallest change, like turning off a tap while brushing one’s teeth or turning the lights out when a class leaves a classroom, can help reduce the world’s energy consumption. Students were challenged to think of how they use energy each day and to come up with ways in which they can change their actions to help save energy. Following the assembly, all non-essential lights and technology within the school were turned off for an hour to support the international Earth House initiative. Reducing garbage through participation in the city of Ottawa’s green bin program is in effect at Richmond Public School thanks to the
leadership of the school’s Earth Care Team. This Earth Care Team, led by staff members Miss Hotchkiss, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Jehan, have worked to implement composting in each classroom, allowing students to recycle most of their food waste. Last fall, the Earth Care Team presented an assembly reminding students about the blue box and black box recycling programs. The students also introduced the school’s green bin program which is now in full swing. Each day grade four and grade five members of the school’s Earth Care Team coordinate the emptying of the compost bin in each class.Also, once a week, these students are responsible for scrubbing the compost bins from each classroom. Grade one, two and three students who are members of the Earth Care Team create posters that are used throughout the school to remind students to think “green.” All of the Earth Care Team members participate in folding old newspapers into liners for the classroom compost bins. These green bin and recycling initiatives are paying off as the output of garbage at Richmond Public School has been greatly reduced with the implementation of these initiatives.
Annual general meeting for Goulbourn Museum SUBMITTED
Finishing up their weekly scrubbing of classroom green bins at Richmond Public School are grade four students, from left, Emma Hogle, Joey Milroy and Ellie Sheppard who are all part of the school’s Earth Care Team.
The annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Museum will take place on Saturday, April 26 at St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street in Richmond. Dinner at 12 noon
followed by the annual general meeting at 1 p.m. For more information, please contact the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393.
Fernbank Road and Shea Road Roundabout Re-Commencement of Construction Scheduling Construction of the Fernbank Road and Shea Road Roundabout project is scheduled to restart in April 2014. Last year the realignment of the north leg of Shea Road by approximately 90 metres to the east was completed. This year a single lane roundabout at Fernbank Road and Shea Road is to be constructed. This project is to be completed by the end of the summer of 2014. The new roundabout will eliminate the offset between the north and south legs of Shea Road on Fernbank Road. It will also eliminate the stop controlled intersections at the two Fernbank and Shea intersections. Please be advised that construction scheduling is subject to changes due to weather conditions, unforeseen conditions, and availability of resources. Reinstatement of Private Landscaping Features Any damage to your lawn or driveway as a result of the City’s work will be repaired as soon as possible during construction, at no cost to you. Special Assistance Accessibility is an important consideration for the City of Ottawa. If you require special accommodation, please contact the undersigned.

Not only were volunteer service pins presented to volunteers achieving certain years-of-service milestones but also the Eva James Award, the WOCRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top award for volunteers, was presented. It was Robert P.J. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bobâ&#x20AC;? McGaraughty, who has chaired the WOCRC Board of Directors for the past three years, who received the Eva James Award this year. The Eva James Award recognizes a WOCRC volunteer who best personifies the commitment and dedication exemplified by the late Eva James, a community volunteer who passed away in 1995 and who was one of the key people who helped create the WOCRC. The recipient of the Eva James Award must have provided numerous hours of volunteer service to the organization and have gone above and beyond the call of duty. In presenting the award, WOCRC executive director Cathy Jordan noted that Bob McGaraughty is a com-
mitted lifelong volunteer who has contributed not just to the WOCRC but to his community as well. This has involved coaching a soccer team, volunteering on the parent council at Stonecrest Elementary School at Woodlawn and chair of the Nepean Support Services before it merged with the WOCRC. He joined the WOCRC Board of Directors shortly after the merger and has served as the Board chair for the past three years, just recently turning over the chairmanship to new chair Mike Merpaw. Mr. McGaraughty said that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;honoured and extremely humbledâ&#x20AC;? to receive the Eva James Award which is named After Eva James who was someone who worked continuously to make her community better. He said that over the years he had read the plaques identifying the Eva James Award recipients which line the stairwell at the WOCRC building. He paid particular tribute to 2008 Eva James Award recipient Jean-Pierre Beaulne of Stittsville whom he cited for his love of family and love of country and with whom he had worked with at the WOCRC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This organization can only survive with a strong commitment from our volunteers,â&#x20AC;? Mr. McGaraughty said. Among those receiving volunteer service pins at the event was Ruth

ing a community effort to clean up Richmond as part of the city of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cleaning the Capitalâ&#x20AC;? campaign.

The clean up itself will take place on Saturday, May 3 starting at 8 a.m. Those who are interested in helping out should contact Kristine Quarrington of the Richmond Village Association at Kristine.rva@ gmail.com. Right on the heels of this community clean up effort will be the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Richmond Village Garage Saleâ&#x20AC;? which will run from 8 a.m. to 12 noon on the very next Saturday, May 10.

Cathy Jordan told those at the volunteer appreciation breakfast, noting that volunteers are fundamental to the WOCRCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work in the community, saying that the WOCRC could not do its work without the involvement of volunteers. She said that the WOCRC currently has 223 volunteers who in the past year have given over 20,000 hours of service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The volunteer contribution is absolutely priceless,â&#x20AC;? she said. Her thoughts about the value and contribution of volunteers were echoed by city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson who attended the breakfast. He thanked the volunteers present for the great work that they do in the community, saying that the city would not be the place it is without the work of volunteers whom he called role models for the next generation. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was in attendance at the breakfast as well, cited the example of a flock of geese flying in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vâ&#x20AC;? formation where one bird is helping another by providing an environment with less drag and resistance, allowing the flock to fly farther than each individual bird could do on its own. He said that the geese demonstrate what working as a team is all about and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what WOCRC volunteers
do, work as a team and as an extended family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the touch that you add to each life, each day, each minute,â&#x20AC;? councillor Qadri said in praising the volunteers and their work. City of Ottawa Kanata South councillor Allan Hubley, who was also at the breakfast, shared the story of a longtime volunteer in the community who got him involved in volunteering. New WOCRC chair Mike Merpaw told the volunteers that the Board is very much aware of the great impact of the volunteers on the services that the WOCRC provides. He praised them for the contribution that they make to the lives of others. This WOCRC volunteer appreciation breakfast was held just before National Volunteer Week which runs this week from April 6 to April 12. The Western Ottawa Community Resource Centre (WOCRC) provides a range of programs and services to those residing in the west Ottawa area including Stittsville, Goulbourn, West Carleton, Kanata and Nepean. Staff works with volunteers and community partners to deliver these community, health and social services. In 2004, the WOCRC opened Chrysalis House, a 25 bed shelter for women and children who are fleeing abusive situations.

Coffee house with more flavours at SCHS John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
R0011949797 R0011243339
News - It was a coffee house flavoured not only with songs, guitars and drums but also with keyboard offerings, a violin solo and some verbal recitations. Even a box drum and trumpets got into the action. Yes, the coffee house presented by South Carleton High School students in Richmond on Thursday evening, April 3 had a more expanded performance focus than previous ones. And the audience which filled the cafetorium at the school seemed to enjoy the new diversity of presentations. Michael Ruhsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expressive recitation of his self-written poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Empathizeâ&#x20AC;? about mental health challenges which he told the audience that he hoped would entertain, inspire or disturb them drew loud audience appreciation as he took his sweeping final bow on stage. There was a similar positive audience reaction earlier in the program when Mercedes Kellar gave a verbal recitation entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speaking with Convictionâ&#x20AC;? about the reluctance of students to speak up because of a fear of failure, a performance that was followed by her pairing up with Michael Ruhs for a duet recitation about love. The audience loved both! But these verbal recitations a la rap were not the only new wrinkle at this South Carleton coffee house. Michelle McCormick, just after bringing the house down with a duet keyboard performance of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chopsticks on Steroidsâ&#x20AC;? with Nadia Khawas, then switched from keyboard to strings, grabbing her violin and playing a song â&#x20AC;&#x153;G Minor,â&#x20AC;? much to the appreciation of the audience. This adventure into violin land was a hit! And the keyboard played a role throughout the two
hour and forty minute coffee house. It all began right at the beginning when the white-shirted group including Liam Maahs, Parker Armstrong and Sean Lewis and vocalist Vicki Calogeracos were joined by Max Stevens on the keyboard. Max even played a little lively solo ditty on the keyboard before he was joined by his sister Madi Stevens who sang as Max played, presenting the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clown.â&#x20AC;? Madi drew cheers from the audience when she launched into a falsetto-like part of the song. The innovative programming continued as Madi stayed on stage and was joined by Ross Morgan on guitar and vocals and by Victoria Quirk playing, are you ready for it, a box drum where she sits on the box and then drums on its side. Even a couple of trumpets made their way into the show. Nadia Khawas on the trumpet joined singer Sam Linton and guitarist Ben Linton in presenting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey Brother.â&#x20AC;? The program also saw Alyssa Glennie on the keyboard, accompanying powerful-voiced singer Nesia Saparno on the song â&#x20AC;&#x153;On My Ownâ&#x20AC;? and later accompanying singer Sheyvon Rox singing â&#x20AC;&#x153;Million Dollar Man.â&#x20AC;? Another memorable performance at this coffee house was that of Jenna McKeown who wowed the audience not JOHN CURRY/METROLAND only with her angelic voice but also with a song that she South Carleton High School student Ben Linton plays the guitar as herself wrote. her performs in the coffee house at South Carleton High School in So, this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t your coffee house of the past. Its diver- Richmond on Thursday, April 3. sity of performance added a new touch to the evening but while new things were added, the reason why these coffee houses continue to draw capacity crowds at South Carleton remained â&#x20AC;&#x201C; great musical performances by a variety of students, all of whom had prepared for the event over the previous month or two. And the excitement and diversity of the evening was not over even when the final song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Grand Optimistâ&#x20AC;? was presented by the trio of Mike Lundy on drums, Ben Linton on guitar and Hannah MacKellar on vocals.

Coffee house at South Carleton Continued from page 32
“This coffee house was so good,” Hannah enthusiastically commented in wrapping up the show, a view which was greeted with audience approval. So, it was over – but not quite. Mike Lundy, the drummer for the final song, grabbed the microphone and using it asked his girlfriend in the audience if she would go to the school prom with him. So the coffee house ended with a love story – it couldn’t get any better!
Performers in this second semester coffee house at South Carleton included Ben Linton, Hannah MacKellar, Mike Lundy, Sheyvon Rox, Alyssa Glennie, Jay Maisonneuve, Rob Dysart, Michael Ruhs, Liam Hozelton, Nesia Saparno, Michelle McCormick, Nadia Khawas, Blair Greenwood, Victoria Quirk, Jenna McKeown, Trent Linklater, Parker Armstrong, Max Stevens, Madi Hamilton, Baylie van Gulik, Liz Cathcart, Vicki Calogeracos, Mercedes Kellar, Katrina Vineyard, Sam Linton, Ross Morgan, Madi Stevens, Sean Lewis, Matt Allan, Liam Maahs and Landon Duval.

This film was shown at International Critics’ Week at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and later won the Critics Week Viewers Choice Award.

The films in this series are all shown on one Thursday evening per month from January through April at the Landmark Theatres at Kanata Centrum in Kanata, starting at 7 p.m. with the doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Earlier films in this four-film series have included the Danish film “The Hunt,” the 2013 American comedy/drama film “Inside Llewyn Davis,” and “Gloria,” a film by Chilean film director Sebastian Lelio, which was shown on Thursday, March 20. “Gloria” told the story of Gloria, a middle-aged divorcee who enters a whirlwind relationship with another divorcee, a former naval officer. Prior to the showing of the film, Stittsville Rotary Club member Leo Maiorino welcomed everyone to the screening. A draw for several door prizes was held, with one of the prizes being a basket filled with Chilean fruit. Passes for the remaining film in this Stittsville Rotary International Film Series 2014 now can
be purchased by phoning Valerie Wright of the Rotary Club at 613-836-9125. The passes, initially costing $40, are now pro-rated and cost only $10 each. There are just a few passes available, so quick action is recommended to anyone who wants to acquire one to view “The Lunchbox.” This year’s Rotary International Film Series has been organized by a Rotary Club committee comprised of members Valerie Wright, Steve Hunter and Wes Zacharuk. Major sponsor is mortgage broker Leo Maiorino who is also a Rotary Club member. Other sponsors, supporters and partners which allow this Rotary International Film Series to happen include Theresa Qadri of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, John Thompson, Wes Zacharuk Co-operators Insurance, Gaia Java Coffee Company, Telefilm Canada, the Ontario Media Development Corporation, Cineplex, Landmark Theatres, Bell, RBC Royal Bank, L’Oreal, Visa, Audi, the federal and provincial governments and the Toronto International Film Festival. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville is also aided in this venture by the Film Circuit of the Toronto International Film Festival which provides these international films to about 160 communities across Canada including Stittsville.

Open House at Nursery School Special to the News
News - The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School has so much going for it – a long history in the community, the involvement of parents and a low teacher/child ratio that ensures each child’s needs are met. And you and your child can get to experience all of these by becoming involved with the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School in the coming 2014-2015 session. To help parents make such a decision, the Nursery School is holding an Open House this coming Saturday, April 12 from 9 a.m. to noon at its premises at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School on Hobin Street in Stittsville. At this Open House, parents and children will be able to visit the Nursery School classrooms, meet the teachers, learn about the program and even check out the dedicated outdoor play area. This Open House is followed by a Registration Night which happens on Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m. at the school. So, you have a chance to tour the facility and find out all about the Nursery School and its program at the Open House and then have a few days to think about it before enrolling your child. However, spots in the Nursery School are limited and fill up quickly, so a prompt decision is recommended if at all possible. Judy Starr, who is one of the teachers at the Nursery School, has had the experience not only of working there but also earlier of being a parent of a child enrolled there. It has given her a unique perspective of how the Nursery School is a true community aspect with all of the staff living in the community and having a special relationship with the youngsters because they are all community neighbours. Judy feels that the Stittsville Cooperative Nursery School strikes a good balance between structured and unstructured activities as well as between group and individual activities. She notes that the low teacher/ child ratio at the Nursery School allows teachers to spend getting to know each individual child and their likes and needs. She feels that the Nursery School experience allows children to develop a sense of self-confidence before they move on to kindergarten. The Nursery School experience also allows youngsters to realize that while school is not home, it is a place where they can feel safe, where they can learn, where they can be respected and where they can have fun. For Nursery School teacher Libbie Quesnel, the Nursery School experience prepares children for kindergarten in several ways. Firstly, the children learn to be separate from their parents, developing independence and confidence in an environment outside the home. The Nursery School experience also allows children to learn how to socialize and be part of a group. Children in Nursery School learn how to cooperate and take turns and how to communicate their needs and
feelings in appropriate ways. Children in a Nursery School setting also learn how to follow a routine, giving them a sense of safety and security from knowing what comes next. Nursery School teacher Kathy Emslie feels that the most important learning experience for children at Nursery School is developing the feeling of confidence and security needed to be comfortable with others and also the ability to build friendships and engage in social interactions. This sets them up for success as they move on to kindergarten where their academic growth begins. The Stittsville Co-operative Nurs-
ery School offers programs for both two year olds and three years olds that focus on activities that encourage children to experiment freely and creatively. There are field trips such as winter walks at Stoney Swamp and a visit to the fire station. There are baking activities, soup making, painting and outdoor play. The Nursery School is also an opportunity for the youngsters, along with their families, to participate in community service activities such as collecting donations for the Stittsville Food Bank.

Lawn bowling Bell Warriors hosting football skills camp starts in May Special to the News
Special to the News
Sports - The snow is now going away so it is not too early to begin thinking about walking around on green grass and having fun by playing lawn bowling. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club is getting ready for its upcoming 2014 season, with an early May beginning if Mother Nature cooperates. And the Club is welcoming any new members who want to take up or get back into lawn bowling. The cost of membership for new bowlers in their first year with the Club is only $60. The only equipment that a person needs are flat smooth soled shoes and comfortable shorts and t-shirts. The club provides the lawn bowling balls known as “bowls.” It also provides instruction to help beginners learn the game. The Goulbourn lawn Bowling Club has its lawn bowling green on Huntley Road next to the city of Ottawa town hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners. This year lawn bowling will take place on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. And, as is the tradition at the Club, there will be refreshments and coffee available afterwards. In addition, something new is being tried and that is lawn bowling in the evening as required. For more information about the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club and the upcoming season, please contact Club president George Burns-Nichol at 613-831-0939 or via email at gjbn@rogers.com. Lawn bowling is a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its non-contact nature. And, first and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air. The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack” which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is popular in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Hong Kong, parts of the United States, Japan and, of course, Canada.
Sports - Kevin Scott, Dexter Ross, Steve Glenn, John Delahunt, Pat Woodcock, Jon Gott, Justin Phillips, Brad Sinopoli and Donnie Ruiz and Darren Joseph. Yes, they are all Canadian Football League (CFL) veterans, either currently playing or retired. . But what else do they have in common? No, they are not all going to play for the new Ottawa RedBlacks team, although three, offensive lineman and long snapper Kevin Scott, fullback John Delahunt and defensive lineman Justin Phillips from Stittsville will be suiting up for the RedBlacks for the team’s inaugural season this year. But they are all going to be guest coaches, along with others, at the first annual Touch-
down Advanced Football Skills Camp that is being hosted by the Bell Warriors Football Club on Saturday, April 19 at the Ben Franklin Dome in Nepean. The two-hour advanced football skills camp, open to young footballers aged 13 to 21 from across the city of Ottawa, is being made available for only $20 per player (preregistration fee up until Thursday, April 17) and $30 for on-site registration that day, available on a first come, first served basis. Other guest coaches besides all of these CFL veterans will be Ron Raymond, a quarterback and wide received coach for Ottawa University and head coach of the U20 Ottawa Valley Football League Panthers; Rodney Moors, an 11-times Canadian Touch Football champion and a record passer at the University of Toronto; and Rob Hamm,
a coach with the Ottawa University Gee Gees, Carleton Ravens and Ottawa Sooners who has been a guest coach at both the University of Syracuse and Queens University and is a former South Carleton High School football coach. For more information about this Touchdown Advanced Football Skills Camp, please contact Bell Warriors Football Club president Paul Stewart at president@bellwarriors.ca or at 613-838-4279. The Bell Warriors Football Club offers minor football opportunities for both boys and girls, fielding tyke, mosquito, pee wee and bantam boys tackle football teams. The Bell Warriors Football Club draws its players from the Stittsville, Richmond, Goulbourn, Bells Corners, Crystal Bay, Bayshore and Britannia areas.

News - Curlers took to the ice at the Richmond Curling Club last Saturday to combat cancer. And they scored what could be considered the equivalent of an eight-ender in some respects as the 16 teams ended up raising a whopping $21,035.75 from the day’s activities, far surpassing the $15,800 which had been raised in total in the previous two years that the event was held. At the end of the day for this “F#*k Cancer Fundraiser, a cheque for the funds raised at the event was presented to Jennifer Graves from the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. The level of support and generosity for the event this year was overwhelming. Indeed, in just over 24 hours, 16 teams had signed up to curl in the event. It was sold
out like it was a rock concert! In addition, local businesses generously came on board and supported the event, providing prizes for numerous door prizes and a silent auction. There was also a 50/50 raffle held to raise more funds. And the curlers got into the fun spirit of the day, with some wearing costumes or colourful attire and all coming up with memorable team names, most related to the world of curling. So you had the Rock On team, the Hurry Harder team, the House Wreckers, the House Cleaners, the Holy Sheet team, the Scotch & Rock team, and more. Top curling honours for the day went to team Peel ‘n Stick skipped by Don Green with Cam McKinnon, Perry Bortolotti and Lani Bortolotti. The Stones of Stone team did not do that well on the
ice, being as the team only curls once a year. They said that they “lost spectacularly” in their first game. But they did excel in both their attire and their fundraising. This Stones of Stone team, comprised of John Kean of Richmond along with Kevin Haggerty, David Smith and Grant Lawson, wore Scottish tams and also kilts, returning the game to its Scottish origins. So they stood out with this attire, no question about it. But they also were outstanding in another way as they raised a total of $6,100 for their participation in this cancer fundraiser. This is something that this group has done for five years now. For the past four, they have travelled to Fredericton, New Brunswick, to take part in a similar curling cancer fundraiser there. Over these four years going to New Brunswick, the group raised $22,000 to help
with the fight against cancer. This year there was no event in New Brunswick, so they signed up for the Richmond event. And now they feel that they will probably continue with this more local event. With this year’s $6,100, this Stones of Stone team has raised over $28,000 just itself to help with the fight against cancer. Members have lost a couple of family members to cancer which has provided the team’s motivation for its fundraising efforts. Their attire, though, was closely matched in impact by that of the Twisted Sisters team of Elaine Mollema, Michele Webster, Dawn Butler and Dawn Harris who wore colourful tops along with multi-coloured twisted hair bands and even twisted shoelaces. They really took their Twisted Sisters name to heart. The House Cleaners team wore maid-like aprons while
Warren’s Daffy-dils team wore yellow t-shirt tops. Besides the on-ice curling, the Richmond Curling Club lounge remained a busy and energetic spot throughout the day, keeping both spectators and off-ice curlers entertained. In the morning, a young lady from Embrun and her grandfather, a cancer survivor, played acoustic guitar and sang in the lounge area. In the early afternoon, a family delivered a short inspirational and motivational message about what local cancer care and support from the Maplesoft Centre meant to it when its world was rocked by a cancer diagnosis. During the afternoon, there were two registered massage therapists on site volunteering their time to provide massages. Clients just had to donate one dollar for every minute of massage that they received.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; on April 13 Special to the News
News - Tysen Lefebvreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario will be getting a boost on Sunday, April 13 when hundreds of dancers take to the stage at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcaseâ&#x20AC;? presented by Pointe of
Grace Dance Company, with all of the proceeds going to Tysenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mission To A Million. Tysen Lefebvre is a Stittsville teen who attended Stittsville Public School and is now attending Goulbourn Middle School who was born with a rare genetic disorder called Pfeiffer Syndrome. So far in his life, he has had over 26 surgeries, begin-
ning when he was only nine days old. Last year Tysen was fortunate enough to have his wish granted by the Make A Wish Foundation as he got to fly to Los Angeles and meet Adam Sandler, his favourite actor. He was inspired by Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generosity and decided that he too wanted to give back, just like Adam does.
This is how his Mission To A Mission campaign started, trying to raise one million dollars so that Make A Wish Foundation could grant 100 wishes. This year Pointe of Grace Dance Company, which has its studio on Iber Road in Stittsville, is directing the funds raised by its Dance 4 Wishes Spring Showcase to Tysenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Mission To A Million. The showcase is being held this coming Sunday, April 13 with junior dancers performing at 2 p.m. and senior dancers taking to the stage at 5:30 p.m., all at the theatre at Sacred Heart High School. Tickets are $10 per show or $15 for both shows. Tickets are available now at the Pointe of Grace studio at 69 Iber Road, Unit 103 in Stittsville or from any competitive team member from the Pointe of Grace Dance Company.

This Saturday, April 12 in Richmond, Richmond Sparks and Pathfinders will be at King’s Your Independent Grocer, selling cookies from 9 a.m. to 12 noon. At the same time, starting at 10 a.m., Brownie and Guide units will be going door-to-door in the village, selling the cookies. The Girl Guide cookies in this spring cookie drive are selling for $5 per box. They are the classic vanilla and chocolate sandwich cookies which are peanut free which will be for sale. It is the mint cookies which the Guides sell in their fall cookie sale. These cookie sales raise funds to help offset the cost of Guiding activities such as camps, trips, badges and program supplies. Girl Guide cookies are a Guiding tradition, with the first Girl Guide cookies having been baked by a Guide leader and sold in Saskatchewan in 1927. In 1929, selling Girl Guide cookies became a national program. The sale of Girl Guide cookies is the largest fundraiser for the Guiding movement in Canada. The annual meeting of the Munster Union Cemetery in Munster will be held on Wednesday, April 30 at 7:30 p.m. at the Munster United Church on Munster Road on Munster road in Munster.

9 RUN RUN in 2013 raises $21,911.13 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
News - Brenda Tirrell is one of the founders and is now entering her fifth year as Race Director for the 9 RUN RUN Emergency Services Run in Stittsville. And yet when a short video of last year’s run was shown at the Royal Ottawa on Wednesday morning, April 2 where Brenda and
her team were formally presenting the proceeds raised in the 2013 run, seeing the sea of runners flowing along Abbott Street and Stittsville Main Street in the early stages of the run brought forth an expression of amazement from her. That’s because, as she said, she and some of her team have never seen the runners at the beginning of the race as they are always busy elsewhere in
organizing the event. She marveled at the many runners who were wearing the 9 RUN RUN jerseys in the run as seen in the video. But while this may be one aspect of the 9 RUN RUN event that Brenda and some of her team have not witnessed due to other demands on their time that October day, it may be the only one because the event runs like clockwork and indeed, as Brenda
herself said during her remarks at the Royal Ottawa gathering, 9 RUN RUN is the fastest growing event of its type in Ottawa, admitting that this is something of which she and her team are proud. She announced that 9 RUN RUN, to be held on Saturday, Oct. 18 this year, is hoping to raise $50,000 for the Do-It-For-Daron youth mental health initiative this year, the fifth
anniversary year for the 9 RUN RUN event. Over the past three years, when Do-It-For-Daron and the Royal Ottawa became the fundraising focus for 9 RUN RUN, $80,000 has been raised. In 2013, the 9 RUN RUN event raised $21,911.13 for the DoIt-For-Daron youth mental health initiative. See 9 RUN RUN, page 52

Royal Ottawa Foundation for Mental Health President and CEO Andree Steel thanked Brenda Tirrell and the 9 RUN RUN team which includes the city of Ottawa’s police, fire and paramedic services for their continued support of the Do-It-For-Daron program, saying that thousands of young people have experienced its impact. An awareness program called “Is it just me?” has seen thousands of students, mostly from high school, attend half day sessions at the Royal Ottawa where they learn about the science of the brain and addictions. The Royal Ottawa’s phone help lines become much busier after each such visit by students as their awareness of mental health has been enhanced. Tracey Welsh, director of events for the Royal Ottawa, commented that the $80,000 raised by 9 RUN RUN over the past three years is an “incredible” number. She noted that 9 RUN RUN is the top fundraising event among the community-led events involving the Royal Ottawa. She said that there are about 120 such community-led events held annually. Ms. Welsh also noted that besides the fundraising, it is also important how many are involved in the event and hear the message about youth mental health. “It’s a great event,” she said about 9 RUN RUN. And it’s not too early to begin thinking about this year’s fifth anniversary 9 RUN RUN which will happen on Saturday, Oct. 18. Indeed, registration for this year’s event opened at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 2, just when race director Brenda Tirrell and her team were at the Royal Ottawa handing over the proceeds from last year’s event. Already the organizing team has held two
meetings to plan this year’s event. Eva Burnett, a member of the organizing team who spoke at the Royal Ottawa gathering, said that she had no idea how much work would be involved in helping to organize the event. But she admitted that when she sees it all come together on run day and the support that there is for the event, it makes it all worthwhile. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, who was at the presentation gathering, said that it is great to have an event like 9 RUN RUN taking place in the community as it helps bring youth mental health issues to the fore. He said that the funds raised by the event are really an added bonus to making people more aware of mental health issues. Councillor Qadri was one of the instigators of the event, along with Brenda Tirrell and former Ottawa police chief and now senator Vern White. Brenda Tirrell said that she became aware of the mental health concerns in the community when she was approached by a young girl in the community who had played hockey with Daron Richardson and was selling Do-It-ForDaron bracelets. This caused her to look into the matter and she realized that if mental health was something that the youth of the community wanted to support, then the community as a whole should be involved and concerned as well. So 9 RUN RUN was born. The fifth anniversary 9 RUN RUN Emergency Services Run this year will take place on Saturday, Oct. 18, with Bushtukah and BMO Nesbitt Burns returning as major sponsors. There will be fifth anniversary commemorative shirts for participants in the 2K, 10K and half marathon races. Registration is now open at www.9RunRun . Do-It-For-Daron is a program which encourages youth to talk openly about mental illness and to ask for help when needed.

Sports - The 2002 film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” went on to become the highest grossing romantic comedy of all time. It showed that things Greek can be a lot of fun. And you only had to be at the ladies closing dinner and awards night at the Richmond Curling Club last Friday to realize that Greek and fun seem to go together. At least they did at this ladies dinner. With the Greek theme for the event, there were replicas of the Greek flag all over the place. But the Greek atmosphere really came alive thanks to the ladies themselves and their attire – many were wearing white toga-like outfits portraying themselves as Greek goddesses. And the fun increased when a post-dinner and post-awards competition was held, with prizes and a grand prize up for grabs. It involved those at a table producing an array of items announced by MC Denise Ludington. It was a scavenger hunt with a twist – you found
the item in a purse or on your person or at the table and then rushed to the front of the lounge. The first one there racked up points towards the grand prize. Well, this set off quite a flurry of hustle and bustle in the Curling Club lounge area and boy, could those Greek goddesses really fly when they had the desired object and were rushing to be the first at the front with the item. And just what were the items being demanded: they ranged from a lipstick to a sock to a $5 bill to a mirror to a year 2000 quarter to painted toenails (not all the same colour) to a hair elastic to a pearl to eye liner to a passport to a water bottle to a white shoe (no one had one) to an empty white bottle (there were lots of these). All in all, it was lots of fun, as might be expected at a “Greek” get-together. There was, though, a portion of the evening when prizes were presented to the members of the winning teams in the various draws throughout the season.

News - Imagine a concert with a variety of songs ranging from songs about Canada to love songs to spring songs (aw, spring!) to concert classics to audience sing-along tunes. You would not want to miss such a concert! There is one coming up, appropriately called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medley of Melodies.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the spring concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus which performs under the direction of Robert Dueck of Stittsville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Medley of Melodiesâ&#x20AC;? will be happening on Saturday, April 26 at 7 p.m. at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church on Young Road just north of Hazeldean Road in Kanata. And of all of the songs that will be sung that evening, one that you will not want to miss is the grand finale number of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Give Me A Choral Medley!â&#x20AC;? which is also known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Singerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spoof.â&#x20AC;? This one song incorporates everything from madrigals to master works to show tunes to spirituals to folk songs to swing music. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all wrapped up in one song â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real must to hear
and enjoy! Advanced tickets for this spring concert by the now-32 voice West Ottawa Ladies Chorus are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street and at Kanata Cleaners at 1029 Teron Road in Kanata. Tickets will also be sold at the door, although the number of tickets sold will be limited to the seating capacity of the church, so early purchase of tickets is recommended. The cost of a ticket is $15. Besides the concert, there will be a silent auction held with both preconcert and intermission opportunities to submit bids. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus originated from a group of 24 experienced West Ottawa female singers who were originally recruited by Robert Dueck of Stittsville to augment the Goulbourn Male Chorus which he also directs as one time guest performers at the Goulbourn Male Chorus Christmas concert in 2011.

Tenth anniversary is golden for Barbarians Special to the News
Sports - It was the tenth annual Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) Invitational Tournament but for the Orleans Barbarians team, it was a golden anniversary event as they emerged from the tournament with the gold medals in the Intermediate “C” Championship Final. The Barbarians, coached by 2014 Team Canada Sochi Paralympic bronze medalist in sledge hockey Marc Dorion, who is also SHEO’s intermediate programs director, played six games in the round robin portion of the tournament before taking on the WTU (Warrior Transition Unit) Mountain Warriors of Canton, N.Y. in the championship final game. This tenth annual SHEO Invitational Tournament took place from Friday, April 4 through Sunday, April 6 at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex whose ice surfaces are fully accessible for sledge hockey. Sledge hockey teams from Orleans, Stittsville, Laval in Quebec, Canton in N.Y., Long Island in N.Y. and Vermont

took part in the tournament. The Intermediate “B” Championship game saw Stittsville’s own SHEO Falcons take on the Long Island Roughriders from N.Y. The Falcons, whose lineup included the youngest member of Sledge Team Canada’s Paralympic bronze medal winning squad, namely Ben Delaney of Nepean, were locked in a close battle with the Roughriders through three periods before a goal scored by the Roughriders just one and a half minutes into overtime settled the game, with the Roughriders taking home the gold medals. This Long Island, N.Y. team featured several members of Sledge Team USA. In the bronze medal final, Laval’s Demons Roulants eked out a 1-0 victory over the Vermont Sledcats. Teams attending this tenth annual SHEO Invitational Tournament included the Barbarians from Orleans, the Demons Roulants from Laval, Quebec, the Falcons from Stittsville, the Fort Drum Mountain Warriors from Canton, N.Y., the Roughriders from Long Island, N.Y. and the Sledcats from Burlington, Vermont. This tenth annual SHEO Invitational Tournament also featured a celebrity sledge hockey game last Sunday, with local personalities taking to the sledges to compete against current and former Canadian Paralympians including Herve Lord and Angelo Gavillucci. There was also a fun but challenging skills challenge which featured six teams displaying their talents in accuracy, speed, relay and “beat the goalie.” SHEO (Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario), founded in 1982, is a totally volunteer run, notfor-profit organization which provides the opportunity for children, youth and adults with physical disabilities to play ice hockey on an equal basis with their peers. Sledge hockey is a team sport that conforms to the rules and form of traditional hockey, with players using a sledge on blades rather than skates and sticks equipped with picks to propel themselves across the ice.

Q and A WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE DISH? WH So many m to choose from, I like our veal Picata, it’s so tender te you can cut it with a fork. We only use best loins money can buy and serve with a side of fresh fre pasta and a combination of crispy market veget vegetables. On the other hand my brother likes our Cann Cannelloni. Like all of our dishes, this dish is made with hhome-made pasta rolled out and stuffed with braise braised milk-fed veal, baked with Bolognese sauce and m mozzarella. Another favourite is our linguine di Pes Pesce which includes sautéed scallops, tiger shrim shrimps, mussels, white wine, garlic, and your choice of tom tomato or cream sauce. GUIL GUILTY PLEASURE? Our ho home made gluten free chocolate cake is to die ie for for, or our dream-bomba which is a peanut butter utter gelato surrounding a caramel center and covered vere with an outer layer of chocolate or our house use specialty tiramisu along with a fresh ground cappuccino. ppuc
PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW? How good our pizza is, maybe because we are a fine dining restaurant and people that don’t know our history or don’t realize that our parents owned one of Ottawa’s first pizzerias in the west end. Our parents have been serving the best since 1973. The other surprise for first-time customers is how pleasant, elegant and inviting our restaurant is. We are located in an easily-accessed strip mall and people don’t expect our high level of restaurant service and are pleasantly surprised. We can’t control misconceptions from outward appearance but we can sure control the mood and atmosphere on the inside. FAVORITE QUOTE? “We believe in what we create.” SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? It’s love, passion and the commitment to our craft that equals success and being able to recognize and appreciate and our clients and friends. We are owner-operated from the kitchen to the front of the

Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race re-scheduled Special to the News
News – The late arriving spring has delayed the annual Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race. The race has now been re-scheduled to Saturday, April 26 as the original race date of this coming Saturday, April 12 has been cancelled due to the river conditions which include a lack of water and possible paddling on ice. The April 12 date had been deemed as tentative due to the late arrival of spring this year which ended up causing the race date to be moved to Saturday, April 26. It had been announced earlier this year that
the 2014 Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race was being cancelled for this year but this was quickly overturned when Gaetan Plourde and Ian Mockett came forward to help with the organization of the event. This meant that the annual race would take place this year after all. Gaetan Plourde and Ian Mockett are no strangers to paddling races as this year they are also organizing a first-ever Kingston to Ottawa 200 kilometer paddling race following the Rideau Canal that includes 22 portages and must be completed within 32 hours. It will be taking place on Saturday, Aug. 16 and Sunday, Aug. 17.
The Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race itself, which has been an annual spring tradition going back to 1996, normally attracts anywhere between 80 and 140 canoes and kayaks. Sponsorship of the race was done by the former township of Goulbourn until municipal amalgamation in 2000. The new city of Ottawa continued sponsorship until 2003 when a group of volunteers took over organization of the race. The 12.6 kilometer long race starts on the Jock River at the Munster Road south of Franktown Road. From the start line, there is a shallow rapid a few minutes downstream, followed
by a chute of fast water. The river then flows through open fields and farmland for several kilometers before several sharp bends signal the beginning of the Richmond Fen wetland through which the river runs. When paddlers see a railway line on the south side of the river, it means the end of the Richmond Fen, with the river widening out considerably. This is followed by a long set of rapids followed by another set of rapids before the finish line at the Jock River Park in Richmond comes into sight.

Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - “Finally!” Mother said, as Father backed the old Model T out of the drive shed where it had been sitting up on blocks since the first heavy snowfall. That meant our trips into Renfrew no longer meant hitching up the horse and cutter, or in some cases, the team and the flat-bottom sleigh every Saturday for our weekly supplies. We were all so excited. Mother said she saw no reason why we five children couldn’t go in as well, since it was our first trip with the car
the ghost temporarily
that year. It didn’t take long for us to get out of our Saturday work clothes and into our nextto-Sunday-best, wash our faces, comb our hair, and make sure our necks were clean. The old car sure wasn’t much to look at, with one back door missing, a fender that was painted an entirely different colour from the rest of the car, and a hole as big as a pie plate in the back floor where I had to sit being the youngest, and from which point all I could see was the Northcote Side Road zooming by.

Me and my sister VICTORIA were abandoned in Arnprior last fall; luckily we were found and rescued. For young ladies of 3 years old we have seen sad days. Now I am putting myself out there looking for a home where I will be truly loved for ever, cherished and cared for. I am a sociable girl, affectionate and a beautiful calico girl... How about it... make an appointment and come to meet me... what can you loose... we might win each others heart.

It was a lovely day for a first drive, Mother commented, as Father turned out of our lane, and passed Briscoe’s General Store. I could hear the purr of the engine, as he worked the lever under the steering wheel increasing the speed. It was a bone shattering ride over the washboard road, and the dust blew into the open car like brown clouds. My sister Audrey wisely brought a silk scarf, which she tied around her face. The rest of us covered our eyes as best we could. Father cut the gas back as we headed down Raglan Street, looking for a place to park the Model T. And suddenly, just like the run-down of a windup clock the Model T gave a gasp, and stopped dead in the middle of the street. Father shoved the gas lever up and down, pulled on the choke, and the car with a mind of its own, sat there like a big black lump of clay. Father got out with the crank, and with the sweat pouring off his face, his arm flying off the crank on occasion, and the Model T, like a rebellious child refused to catch. It wouldn’t have been so bad if Father had been able to steer the car into the curb, but there it sat, right in the middle of Raglan Street. Audrey offered me a nickel if I would change places with her. She wanted on the floor so no one would see her. I said I would consider it for a dime. All she had was a nickel, so I stayed crouched on the floor. Mother was fanning herself with her purse in the front seat, Emerson said he would meet us at Thacker’s Garage when Father got the car going, and Everett and Earl decided they would have a look in the Five and Ten Cent store. Mother said everyone would stay exactly where they were. “We aren’t going to traipse all over Renfrew when we get the car going and are ready to go home,” she said. “If we get the car going,” Audrey said, from under the silk scarf, which now covered her entire face except for her eyes, reminding me of a picture of someone
from a foreign land in a book I brought home from the Renfrew Library. A crowd had gathered on the sidewalk in front of Scott’s Hardware where the car had broken down. Mother waved to a few of them just as if it was an everyday occurrence to be stopped dead in the middle of the main street of Renfrew. “Nice day,” she said. The people nodded in return. Mr. Scott came out of the store, assessed the situation, and deciding the problem was doing nothing for his business, he offered to have the two men on his staff, with the help of Father and my three brothers, start pushing the car towards Thacker’s Garage. Mother stayed in the front seat, I got off the floor, Audrey shot down like a bullet to take my place, and the car with Father behind the wheel started slowly down Raglan Street to Thacker’s garage. It didn’t take long for Mr. Thacker to figure out what was wrong, and he circled the car, shaking his head, kicking the tires with the toe of his boot, and telling Father the car wasn’t long for this world. Whatever Mr. Thacker did, the car was purring like a kitten when we pulled out of the garage, and Mother said she was sure we could manage without stopping for supplies for one week, and that the best thing we could do was head for Northcote. You couldn’t hear what Mother was saying to Father in the front seat, but he pulled into Briscoe’s General Store on the way home. She said once we stopped, since we hadn’t spent any money in Renfrew, she saw no reason why we couldn’t all have an ice cream cone. Father wasn’t taking any chances. While we five children and Mother traipsed into the store, Father stayed in the car with the motor running just in case the old Model T took another notion to give up the ghost.

Lifestyle - Kabobs are a fun, quick and easy way to serve vegetables. Turn them into a meal by adding cooked, cubed pork or lamb and serve in a pita. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Standing time: 15 minutes. Serves four -makes eight kabobs. Ingredients * 175 ml (3/4 cup) plain yogurt * 1 clove garlic, pressed through garlic press * 15 ml (1 tbsp) minced red onion * 10 ml (2 tsp) red wine vinegar and extra-virgin olive oil * 4 ml (3/4 tsp) dried oregano * 0.5 ml (1/8 tsp) each salt and freshly ground pepper Kabobs * Four mini cucumbers * Half each sweet red, yellow and orange pepper * 24 grape tomatoes * 8 leaves of Boston or leaf lettuce * 45 ml (3 tbsp) Greek feta cheese Preparation In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, garlic, onion, vinegar, oil, oregano, salt and pepper. Cover the dressing and refrigerate it for at least 15 minutes or up to one day. For the kabobs, cut each cucumber into six pieces. Cut each pepper into eight chunks. On eight, 20-centimetre (eight-inch) bamboo or metal skewers, thread one piece each of cucumber, pepper and tomato; repeat twice. Brush each kabob liberally with dressing and place on a lettuce-lined platter or individual plates. Sprinkle with feta and serve with remaining dressing. Tip: Set out small bowls of prepared vegetables and have the kids create their own kabob combination.
News - Spaghetti will be on the menu at the Stittsville United Church on Friday, April 25. That’s the date when a spaghetti dinner is being held at the church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. This spaghetti dinner will run from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. with everyone in the community welcome to attend to enjoy not only the spaghetti but also some delicious desserts. Cost of this spaghetti dinner will be $12 for adults, $6 for teens and free for those under 12 years of age.

Spaghetti’s history goes back to about the 12th century in Sicily when pasta may have been worked into spaghetti’s familiar long think forms. The popularity of pasta and hence spaghetti spread to the whole of Italy after the establishment of pasta factories in the 19th century. It was around the end of the 19th century that spaghetti began to become popular in the United States. Spaghetti has gone on to become a staple in American and Canadian households. The world record for the largest bowl of spaghetti was set when a restaurant in California filled a swimming pool with spaghetti.
