EMC news - Twenty thousand dollars is coming to the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association from the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” program. That’s because Cathy Bureau of Stittsville received enough support in the online voting associated with the program to be one of four local hockey organizers and supporters to receive $20,000 awards directed to their selected minor hockey associations. In Cathy’s case, this is the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association, an organization that she founded two years ago and of which she is the president at present. The winners in the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” program, a total of 25 across Canada, were announced between periods of a National Hockey League game on television on Wednesday, April 3. Cathy Bureau, along with the executive members of the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA), were together, watching the telecast at the Barley Mow Pub on Carp Road in Stittsville when the news was broadcast. There was a lot of celebrating from that point on. Cathy, in fact, had taken the night off from her volunteer job looking after the off-ice officials at the 2013 women’s world hockey championships that were taking place in Ottawa to be with her GGHA supporters and friends and hear the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” announcement. Cathy says that the $20,000 will go a long way in helping the fledgling Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA), with the funds going to help with costs associated with ice rental, jerseys, development training for coaches and trainers, and equipment.

Award to Dorothy McGinn John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A volunteer with Friends of Hospice Ottawa (FOHO). Not only that, but also a long serving volunteer with at least five years of service. And, in addition, a volunteer

who has served in various roles, programs and services over that time. That’s quite a requirement which is why the Inge Kelly Distinguished Service Award is a most coveted and prestigious award presented by Friends of Hospice Ottawa. And one of this year’s three re-

cipients of this award was Dorothy McGinn of Stittsville. She and the other two recipients, Cathy Allison and Marlene Kocvar, were presented with the award at FOHO’s volunteer recognition evening. See INGE KELLY, page 6

Kraft honours Cathy Bureau Continued from page 1

The funds may also be used to help set up a bursary to help any families that could not otherwise enroll their children in hockey. But she admits that she would have been happy even if she had not won the $20,000 award because being a finalist with her connection to the GGHA helped bring girls hockey to the forefront. She is also, though, amazed by the overwhelming community support which she received, support reflected not only in the online voting but also in examples like a banner of support at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and a sign expressing support at the Coldwell Banker real estate office in Stittsville. Indeed, she says community support like this is why she loves living in Stittsville. And Cathy gives a nod in being selected and having the funds go to the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA) to the late Joan Thorneycroft of Stittsville, who was the GGHA’s initial benefactor when the organization started. “I’m sure Joan had something to do with it,” she says about her selection. Joan passed away last year but not before she had seen the GGHA begin to flourish. The GGHA teams are known as the Goulbourn Rockets in a tribute to Mrs. Thorneycroft who in her youth played hockey for a team known as the Rockets. Goul-

bourn Rockets teams have a model rocket which they place at centre ice before their games, with the rocket bearing the initials JT for Joan Thorneycroft and the number 34 which was the number on the ceremonial Goulbourn Rockets jersey which the GGHA presented to Mrs. Thorneycroft. “Kraft Hockey Goes On” is providing one million dollars to Hockey Canada-affiliated minor hockey associations through this program, with the country divided into five regions. Nominations of people who make hockey happen in communities across Canada were invited from Canadians as of January 21 of this year. With over 1,000 nominations received, a panel of judges then determined the top 100 finalists, 20 in each region. These finalists then moved on to an online voting period on Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24. Nearly three million votes were cast across Canada during this twoday online voting period, with over 750,000 of these cast in Ontario. Cathy Bureau had been nominated because of her long involvement with women’s hockey in Ottawa. Her father set up the first organized girls hockey team in Nepean and she became the first Canadian female to receive a United States hockey scholarship, attending Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York. She has since been inducted into the Clarkson Sports Hall of Fame as a result of her hockey exploits there.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Cathy Bureau of Stittsville, standing outside the new ice pad at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, is one of four hockey supporters in Ontario being recognized in the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” program with an award of $20,000 going to her selected minor hockey organization, the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association. Cathy became the first female level four referee in Ottawa. She was president of the Ottawa District Women’s Hockey Association in 1990 when the first women’s world hockey championships were hosted in Ottawa. For those inaugural 1990 championships, she looked after the off ice officials, just like she did for the 2013 championships that have just finished, as well as being in charge of transportation. She admits that the 1990 world

championships were much smaller than the 2013 ones, adding that there were no computers used – everything was done by phone. She still recalls the tremendous impact that the 1990 championships had on local enrolment in girls hockey. She foresees a similar positive impact from the 2013 championships, although not nearly as monumental. Two years ago, Cathy founded the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association to provide girls with the opportunity

to play hockey in their home community rather than signing up with the Kanata Girls Hockey Association or another area association. After an initial season of on-ice practices emphasizing skill development, the GGHA continued its growth and development this past season, gaining acceptance into the Ottawa District Women’s Hockey Association.

another 14 students involved in back-stage roles in the production. For Nick Maillet, his assuming of the lead role of Robin Hood in this play is the culmination of his performance career at Sacred Heart as this is the fourth school production in which he has appeared, with progressively more prominent roles in each one. He considers himself most fortunate to have been selected for the role of Robin Hood, a role in which he not only has a lot of dialogue but also action scenes like sword fighting and battling Little John on a bridge,

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 exible, 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 exibility. Special Assignment include: organizing, knitting and crafts, providing entertainment, or acting as photographers at events. Volunteer Drivers support the children and youth in care by providing a safe nonjudgmental 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. PreSchool Volunteers assist professional staff, guiding children from three months to ďŹ ve 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 volunteer and staff and develop relationships with foster parents and the families we serve. The scope of our volunteers’ work is extensive. And their commitment and generosity to the community is humbling. Here at CASO, we recognize the importance of our volunteers every day. They are the building blocks upon which our foundation, and in fact, our community, rests. April 21 to 27, 2013 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. We want to celebrate their generosity and commitment. Their contribution to supporting children and youth in care, and the Ottawa community more broadly, makes a difference every day and every hour.

Robin Hood on stage at Sacred Heart Continued from page 4

But as a supporter of the Sheriff of Nottingham she is most prominent and has a lot of dialogue in the story depicting the antics of Robin Hood from the view of Prince John and the Sheriff. She admits that it is fun wearing the black nun’s habit in the play. The role is also probably fun because she and her nuns are a little unconventional – they all are proficient at Kung Fu, that Chinese martial art. This is Morgan’s third production at Sacred Heart but she has also performed in numerous productions outside of school, particularly musicals. She points out, though, that even in musicals, she has often been cast in comedic roles so she is quite comfortable in this Robin Hood comedy which has no music or dancing but lots of comedy. Sacred Heart student Nic Kuzmochka, who plays the role of the “evil” Lord Duncan in this play, is performing in his second major production at the school, although he has also performed in other productions outside of school. These have usually been more dramatic plays but he points out that his “evil” Lord Duncan character is so overly dramatic that he becomes comedic. “Evil” Lord Duncan is one of the characters that emerge in Maid Marian’s version of Robin Hood’s actions during King Richard’s absence at the Crusades. Although one of the main villains in Maid Marian’s story, he is not mentioned in the stories told by Robin Hood himself or Prince John. “I seem to be a character of Marian’s invention,” Nic says, adding that his character of “evil” Lord Duncan is talked about more by others than the character actually doing much talking himself. Nic estimates that he has about a dozen lines altogether in the play. But the limited dialogue has not tempered his appreciation of the role and his involvement in the play. “It’s been wonderful all around,” he says about the experience of being in “The Trials of

Robin Hood.” “The Trials of Robin Hood” leaves it up to the audience about who Robin Hood is – a lusty hero, a hopeless lover or an evil criminal. The play, written by Will Averill, has King Richard, who has returned from the Crusades, forced to try to figure out what happened in his kingdom during his absence. He has to try to determine if Robin Hood is a hero, a lovelorn sap or just a plain mean person. So, the story unfolds as told from the perspectives of Robin himself, Maid Marian and Prince John. In an hilarious way, these three different stories are combined into one, albeit with three different endings, with the audience left to decide which one is true. “The Trials of Robin Hood,” a comedy play, is being presented by Sacred Heart students this week from Wednesday, April 10 through to Saturday, April 13. The performances from Wednesday, April 10 through Friday, April 12 will begin at 7 p.m. while the Saturday, April 13 performance will be a matinee beginning at 2 p.m. Tickets, available at the door, will be $10 for adults and $7 for students. Everyone is welcome to attend. The play’s creator, Will Averill, a graduate of the University of Kansas, has worked extensively with middle school theatre programs to develop new works for audiences. “The Trails of Robin Hood” was first performed in 2009 in Kansas and since then has been performed in various locations across the United States including South Carolina, Arizona, Ohio, Virginia, California and New York, as well as other states. The play was presented in Prague in the Czech Republic in April 2012. This performance at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville is the first time that this play has been presented in Canada. It will be presented in Australia next month. Sacred Heart Catholic High School is producing “The Trials of Robin Hood” by Will Averill through arrangement with Playscripts, Inc., an independent publisher of new plays and musicals. Its catalog of plays includes 1,845 plays by 907 different writers.

Asking a lot of children

S

tudents at a school in Barrhaven will launch a hiring guide for local businesses this week. The Grade 4 students put a lot of work into their product, meeting with more than 30 local business managers to find out what hiring tools they currently use. The kids have since compiled a hiring guide, which will soon be for sale, with proceeds to Big Brothers, Big Sisters. The goal was to develop something that would help people in the community and the hiring guide could help connect job-seekers with prospective employers. The project was developed with help from the Learning Partnership, a national non-profit organization that promotes the public education system in Canada. The organization is participating in similar projects at 240 schools. By working on the guide, students got a taste of teamwork and the value of all the steps in the business process, say organizers. Encouraging entrepreneurial spirit in youngsters is a good idea, but it’s also reasonable to ask if maybe we’re expecting our kids to grow up a little

too soon. There will be time to learn marketing and project management in high school or at college or university, all before those skills can ever be honed in the real world. Grade 4 is too early for students to choose a future educational goal or career. It’s not clear what skills a nine or 10-year-old might develop today that will be of value when they enter the workforce. Sampling many careers might be a better use of the kids’ time than carrying out one intensive project. Parents of any kids involved in the Learning Partnership programs should share their thoughts with teachers, principals and school board trustees. It would be interesting to know if the parents think their kids’ time was well spent, especially if there was follow-up years later to see if a Grade 4 student went on to bigger things and was inspired or prepared in part by the Learning Partnership program. Without that information over the long term, it’s impossible to say if learning business skills at a young age is the right course or if kids should just be kids for a little longer.

Fixing Queen Street, and other Ottawa fantasies

I

n Ottawa, even the good news is somewhat mysterious. Take, for example, the word that the city is looking for submissions from engineering consultants on ways to improve Queen Street, so that it will be nice to walk along in a few years when light rail is running underneath it. The mysterious part: how could anyone think that Queen Street can be improved in any way other than blowing it up and starting over again? The Citizen article on the Queen Street study contained the usual allusions to planting more trees and widening sidewalks and adding benches, but hey. There’s no retail on Queen Street, hardly a restaurant and lots of ugly glass buildings. You think wider sidewalks is going to help much? Two years ago, on a Saturday afternoon in April, Tyler BrĂťlĂŠ, the former Ottawan turned London magazine tycoon, was wandering around downtown. Here’s his description, in the Financial Times, of what he saw: “The street was littered with soggy bits of rubbish; some shops were out of business; almost every office tower had a lease sign in the lobby window and it was eerily deserted. I walked a few blocks hoping the urban landscape would improve but the few retail

Funny Town outlets that were open felt tatty and tired, the streets were buckling and full of potholes and every other block was punctuated by a vacant property, an empty parking lot and restaurant closed for business, permanently.â€? Not a bad description and it obviously made an impression, because BrĂťlĂŠ was invited back to Ottawa, where he spent two years in the ‘80s going to Nepean High School, to give a public talk as part of an ideas project to improve the city. For reasons understandable to those who deal with famous people, the deal fell through and the organizers are now looking for another expert. “The vision of bringing someone to give us some advice is still on the table,â€? Coun. Mathieu Fleury told the Citizen. “We want to bring someone with that kind of Published weekly by:

profile.� As the old saying goes, an expert is someone from out of town. Too many cities get their reputation from the guy who spends two days there and writes an analysis based on the airport, the personality of the taxi driver who brings him from the airport, the hotel, two restaurants near the hotel, the street the hotel is on and the taxi driver who takes him back to the airport. A guy who walked around the Glebe or the Market, rather than Queen Street, would have a different assessment of Ottawa. A guy who stayed in Ottawa South or Kanata would think differently from a guy who stayed at the Westin. Which is not to say that Queen Street is not awful. It is. It’s just that we don’t need to pay someone to tell us that. Many of the problems that plague our city are obvious to anyone who lives here and don’t require expert advice. If you want a vibrant Queen Street, put some stores on it. For those stores to thrive they need customers, people who live downtown. That means apartment buildings instead of office buildings. People have known this for decades, people who are not from out of town.

Persuading business and government to do anything about it is, and always has been, the problem. It costs money. As time passes without anything being done people learn to live without downtown. They have their neighbourhood stores and restaurants, if they are lucky enough to have that kind of neighbourhood. If not, they have the nearest mall, where there are stores and the parking is free and easy to find. If Queen Street is awful, it ceases to matter to a lot of folks. And that makes it harder to find the will to fix it. Maybe this time will be different.

Making things happen John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Christopher Roy’s off-ice activities are reflecting his onice actions. “I’m the one that makes things happen,� the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee player says in describing himself as a hockey player. “I’m a playmaker,� making plays and good passes. But the same could be said about his current off-ice project as he is making things happen there as well. Indeed, as a grade six student at Ecole Jean-Paul II in Stittsville, Christopher is involved in a Board-wide extracurricular leadership program with the theme “de l’idee a l’action� (“from the idea to the action�). In other words, he has to make things happen, just like on the ice. And, as a hockey player, what better project to develop and put into action than one which combines hockey with community. That’s why he has organized four one-hour on-ice sessions of shooting and scoring clinics for youngsters from six to eight years of age who already have basic hockey skills. These sessions will be taking place this Saturday, April 13 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) in Stittsville, with a maximum of 25 participants per session. Each session will have five different stations through which the young hockey players will rotate, developing their shooting and scoring skills as they go. But what is really great about all of this is that these shooting and scoring clinics will not only help improve the young players shooting and scoring skills but will also be raising funds for Kidsport, an Ottawa charity that helps youngsters in need be involved

GGHA

Christopher is not doing this all by himself. Besides enlisting help from his mother, his father is helping him in planning out the on-ice sessions. In addition, a number of his hockey teammates will be helping run the sessions. Indeed, some former Ottawa 67’s players may also be on hand at the sessions. The idea is to have players of similar age and skill levels on the ice at the same time in the one-hour on-ice sessions. There will be goalies there so that the players can practice their shooting and scoring. “Mostly it’s hockey shooting and scoring,� Christopher says about the on-ice sessions, saying the clinics are to help players get better at scoring. With four on-ice sessions, each with a 25 player maximum, there is room in these sessions for 100 players. Registrations are coming in but there is still room for more. If there is enough interest, the clinics might be extended to include nine year olds. The goal is not only to fill up all 100 spots so that Kidsport will receive as much money as possible, hopefully a minimum of $2,000, but also to ensure that the donated ice time by the city will be fully utilized. Christopher has been keeping a log book as a record of the project as it has developed. He will be presenting a full account of the project at a May 1st windup gathering which will involve kiosk presentations by all of the students involved in this “de l’idee a l’action� initiative. For more information on these hockey shooting and scoring clinics happening this Saturday, April 13 or to register to attend, please email chantal.jeff@sympatico.ca .

EMC sports – The Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA) will be holding its first ever banquet this Saturday, April 13. The GGHA was formed two years ago to provide a community-based local girls hockey program for players from Goulbourn (Stittsville, Richmond, Munster and Ashton). For the 20122013 season, the GGHA had teams at both the novice and atom level as well as an initiation program. Information about registration for the 2013-2014 season is available at www.ggha.ca.

in sports. Indeed, all proceeds from Christopher’s shooting and scoring clinics this Saturday (there is a minimum donation of $20 required to participate) will be directed to Kidsport, specifically aimed at helping young hockey players in the Ottawa area who need financial assistance to pay their hockey registration fees. Christopher, who is 11 years old, began working on this project in January and with the help of his mother, Chantal Pelletier, not only got Kidsport on board but also convinced the city of Ottawa to donate four hours of ice time at the GRC for the project. That’s why the shooting and scoring clinics are happening this Saturday, April 13 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the new ice surface at the GRC. But making arrangements with Kidsport and with the city for the ice time was only part of the challenge. Christopher also had to promote the shooting and scoring clinics to spread awareness about them and to enlist participants. This meant contacting teams and coaches of teams and hockey programs involving players in the age 6 to 8 range. A pamphlet was produced explaining about the shooting and scoring clinic sessions, why they were being held and how to register for them. For the past two weeks, Christopher himself has visited the arenas where these players were playing their final games and delivered his “sales pitch,� a short but catchy dialogue that told about the upcoming clinics, told about Kidsport and ended by advocating the clinics as a way of becoming a better hockey player. He gave the pitch probably about 100 times, always with the promotional brochure at hand, ready for distribution.

Chairs - each has an ‘attitude’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Dr. Karyn Gordon is one of Canada’s leading motivational speakers, especially in her subject areas of relationships and parenting. She frequently appears as an expert on television as well as in other media. She has even launched a new feature during her presentations where audience members can use Twitter to ask a question, rather than standing up in public and posing the question. So she is right up to date with modern technology. And so you would expect that one of her presentations, like her “Bridging The Gap” session at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Thursday evening, April 4, might perhaps have some high tech ingredients. And for the Sacred Heart event, there was a giant screen at the front in the theatre which Dr. Gordon used in conjunction with a computer, but only in the most basic way, showing written outlines for her messages. Her main prop, her tool to get her message across to the crowd of over 200 parents, was the plain old utilitarian chair – yes, that’s right – four chairs, you know, the plastic kind that are so ubiquitous these days, lined up there along the front of the stage as she delivered her remarks not from the stage but from the area in front of the first row of seats in the theatre. And these parents at this Sacred Heart presentation were not the first to see such chairs used. Indeed, Dr. Gordon said that over 250,000 people have been exposed to this scenario – the number of people, including many students, who have attended her presentations over the years. She admitted that while trying to

decide how to make her presentation on youth self esteem come alive, simply put, she “came up with this chair idea.” She said that when she makes presentations at schools, she usually engages four students, each one reading about the characteristics associated with a particular chair and then acting out that particular role in an improv fashion. And she has discovered that after a three minute improv sketch by the students, the students watching actually get it – actually understand that everyone is sitting in one of those chairs thanks not to genetics but to learned behaviour. Dr. Gordon went on to explain that one chair represents “The Blind Attitude” in which a person acts inferior to others, always putting himself or herself down, with no self-esteem. On the opposite side of the lineup of chairs is “The Disguised Attitude,” in which a person acts superior to others and puts everyone else down. In the middle two chairs, between these two extremes, are “The Lifer Attitude” chairs in which a person acts as an equal to others and has a healthy self-esteem. So, asked Dr. Gordon, which chair are you as a parent sitting in and which chair do you think your kids are sitting on? She said that the chair on which a person sits is a 100 percent learned behaviour and the greatest predictor of where a youth is sitting is where the same gender parent sits. Dr. Gordon said that where a person sits and that chair’s corresponding attitude impacts almost every decision that the person makes. “Self esteem is an attitude,” she said. The chair where a person puts

himself or herself down and the chair where a person puts everyone else down are just two sides of the same coin of low self-esteem, Dr. Gordon said, whereas those sitting on the middle chairs are those who want to lift people up and place no conditions on their view of self-worth. “Who I am is separate from what I can achieve” is the attitude of a middle chair occupant, meaning that the person is more likely to set realistic goals and subsequently to achieve them. Dr. Gordon said that youth are drawn to friends who are sitting in the same chair as they are. “Friends are a mirror of ourselves,” she said. But when a youth moves chairs, relocating to the middle ones after changing how they feel about themselves, then they are drawn to different friends. This can also apply to dating. Dr. Gordon said that youth in the middle chairs feel healthy and confident. How do we help our kids get there, she asked. The best solution is to show them through example by sitting there as adults. This can be done by affirming them, not for achievements per se but for the character shown in pursuing the achievement. Communicating respectfully with children is another way. Indeed, Dr. Gordon used yet another traditional, non-high tech tool to demonstrate how to facilitate communication, calling it “The Hamburger Technique.” With the help of parent volunteer Jas Michalski from the audience, the two of them acted out a possible scenario of how to communicate with a child, keep-

So, it’s like a hamburger – a roll aka positives on top, the meat aka the improvement suggestion in the middle and the rest of the roll aka more positives on the bottom. But she admitted that this “Hamburger Technique” requires practice before a parent tries it on a child. Teaching responsibility is yet another way of helping kids get to the middle chairs. Indeed, this applies to every relationship between two people, Dr. Gordon said.

She compared relationships to what happens on a teeter totter. One person in the relationship, such as the parent, can become an over-functioner – the teeter totter goes up on that person’s side. And then the other person, like the other end of the teeter totter, goes down, becoming an under-functioner. This leads to lack of motivation. The way to fix this – get kids to function more by the parent functioning less, Dr. Gordon said. See SACRED HEART, page 11

‘Hair Donation Ottawa’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - “Here today, gone tomorrow� is a common phrase that has even made it into song. But on Sunday, April 21, the more appropriate phrase is going to be “Hair today, gone tomorrow.� That’s because April 21st is when Hair Donation Ottawa, an annual non-profit cancer research and treatment fundraiser will be happening. And one of those for whom this is really going to be the case if city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who will be getting his head shaved at the event, with Wayne Patrick of Shears Hair Design in Stittsville doing the “shearing� at the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon, the location of this year’s Hair Donation Ottawa fundraiser. The councillor will be a walking example of “Hair today, gone tomorrow.� More than 50 have already registered to participate in the event, most of them having their hair cut, although six are, like councillor Qadri, having their head shaved. Hair Donation Ottawa started out as a local Stittsville event, founded by real estate agent and cancer survivor Helene Hutchings. This year, in only its third year, this program to donate hair for wigs for cancer patients and raising funds for cancer research is going citywide as “Hair Donation Ottawa.� And this year it is being centred at the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon where stylists will be on hand to wash, cut and style those who either have donated six-plus inches of hair or are having their hair cut in return for funds

raised or who have their heads or beards shaved for the cause. These stylists will be from various Ottawa area salons as well as from the Algonquin College Hair Stylist program, all volunteering their time for this event. This third annual event will be collecting pony tails from any hair six-plus inches or longer to create wigs for cancer patients through the Angel Hair for Kids Foundation. It will also be raising funds for cancer research at The Ottawa Hospital. This will all be happening on Sunday, April 21 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This event has raised a total of over $5,000 in the previous two years, with over 700 inches of hair donated to Angel Hair for Kids. The proceeds raised by pledges are split between the Centre for Innovative Cancer Research at The Ottawa Hospital and the Angel Hair for Kids Foundation. The Centre for Innovative Cancer Research opened in 2011 as a new $15.8 million laboratory that is uniquely designed to accelerate the development and testing of new cancer therapies. The Angel Hair for Kids Foundation is a Canadian non-profit program that provides wigs to financially disadvantaged children who have lost their hair due to medical treatments. This “Hair Donation Ottawa� cancer fundraiser is open to anyone willing to have their hair cut or willing to donate six-plus inches of hair for the Angel Hair for Kids Foundation or to shave their head or to sponsor someone who is doing any one of these, including councillor Qadri. You can register to donate by calling 613-

Richmond Nursery ready for busiest time of year Sydney Steele Special to the News

EMC news – With spring right around the corner now, the Richmond Nursery is gearing up for its busiest time of the year. “Springtime is our Christmas,” says Peter Rofner of Richmond Nursery. “May becomes very hectic and for a short time.” And he senses people’s growing anticipation and excitement for spring this year. “People are more excited for spring this year,” he says. “We have had a long winter, so when spring does come, it will hopefully come out with a bang.” But Richmond Nursery is ready because the Nursery’s team has been hard at work over the past months, growing plants for the spring rush. “Some of the plants have a very long crop time and in order for them to be ready for spring, they need to be planted early,” Peter explains. He notes that the later spring this year over last year has meant that plants have had longer and more gradual growing times, making them healthier. Peter sees some new trends happening in gardening, just like they do in the world of fashion. He predicts that people are going to start wanting to grow their own food. “There has been an increase in wanting to grow your own food, especially in the

younger generation,” he says. He notes that there are lots of choices when it comes to growing your own food, ranging from vegetables to fruits to a mixture of both of them. “It’s all up to you,” he says. Peter also finds that growing plants in containers is becoming an increasing choice for people. He points out that with yard sizes becoming much smaller for many newly built homes, homeowners are choosing to grow plants in containers in order to save space. Peter himself is very knowledgeable about the nursery business, having grown up in the family business. He took over the running of the Richmond Nursery on the death of his father George who had started and grown the business from its beginnings on Ottawa Street to its current bustling location at the corner of Richmond Road and Eagleson Road at the eastern entrance to Richmond. And the best advice Peter has for gardeners is not to make what he views as the biggest mistake - over-analyzing how to garden. “In the younger generations, they use SYDNEY STEELE the Internet to learn how to garden,” he says. “Which confuses people,” he adds. Peter Rofner of the Richmond Nursery stands in a greenhouse containing a few of the many flowers which are awaiting the upcoming spring rush at the Nursery which is located at the corner “Just keep it simple” is his advice.

HolaEcuador: A Canadian beachfront development in Ecuador Enjoy a year-round tropical paradise in a secure, comfortable environment

Gordon Poole, Co-Owner of HolaEcuador, one of the Canadians taking part in the project.

Tired of scraping your windows and shovelling snow? Escape to the warmth and charm of Ecuador! Home to the world-famous Galápagos Islands, millions of hectares of untouched rainforests, massive Andes mountains and hundreds of kilometres of pristine beaches, Ecuador is finding its place on the world stage as a top-tier destination. But it’s not just the weather that’s hot in Ecuador — the real estate market is cooking too, and a Canadian company is making it easy to own a beachfront paradise of which dreams are made. HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. develops and sells beach properties on the Pacific coast of Ecuador. Mirador San Jose — the largest of HolaEcuador’s projects — has over 1600 lots to choose from. Managed by Canadian owners and investors, Mirador San Jose is the perfect winter escape, retirement project, investment and/or rental property opportunity.

oceanfront restaurant? One of the most biodiverse places on the planet, Ecuador is the ideal location for outdoor activities such as all types of water sports, biking, fishing, hiking and nature-gazing. Need a fix of culture and culinary wonders? The capital city Quito, perched among volcanoes in the Andes mountains at 9,350 feet boasts the UNESCO World Heritage colonial district, with architecture, restaurants and nightlife that rival the best of European cities. Fantastic climate The climate in Ecuador is ideal all year long, without the extreme wet seasons that are common to the tropics. Being located on the equator, the country never experiences the devastating hurricanes and major tropical storms that are commonplace in regions such as Mexico and Florida. The average temperature varies between 23C and 28C and the water temperature in front of Mirador San Jose is 23C or more, throughout the year. Excellent investment

Why Ecuador? Unparalleled mix of nature and culture Where else can you visit a volcano on horseback in the morning, meet tribal elders at an Amazonian jungle resort in the afternoon and finish the day with a seafood dinner in an

In addition to all the great lifestyle advantages of being in Ecuador, it is also an incredible investment opportunity not to be overlooked. “We have many property owners that missed the Costa Rica boom and are very pleased to find that it’s still possible to acquire a property

ORLEANS Saturday, April 20 at 1pm Quality Inn Orleans 3363 St Joseph Blvd KANATA Sunday, April 21 at 1pm Holiday Inn & Suites Kanata 101 Kanata Avenue 20 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, April 11, 2013

Owning property at the Mirador San Jose is ideal for those looking to diversify their investment portfolio. The value of the lots at the development has increased on average by 45 per cent over the last two years. And there are no taxes on capital gains on the occasional sale of properties in Ecuador, even for second and third residences, which makes investing in Ecuadorian real estate and interesting alternative to the stock markets. Further, property owners can take advantage of the property value increase while generating rental income.

Welcome to Mirador San Jose Mirador San Jose is located 60 kilometres south of Eloy Alfaro International Airport in the port city of Manta and just minutes north of Machalilla National Park, a spectacular jungle and marine park. Accessible by the Routa del Sol, a brand new highway built specifically to cater to the region’s growing tourist population, Mirador San Jose consists of over 1600 lots on a 130-acre, master planned, gated beachfront property. The development features all basic services (water, sewage, electricity) running underground, as well as domestic waste and sewage recycling, high speed Internet, plenty of parks, playgrounds and recreational areas with tennis courts, soccer field and swimming pools. Further, there are three sectors within the development zoned for restaurants, bars, shops, boutiques, cafés, grocery stores and a medical centre. “You’re not buying a cottage lot; these are full ownership properties in a resort town,” says Mr. Poole. “Fully serviced lots a short 10-minute walk from the beach are available for under $12,000. It’s very difficult to find this value and quality elsewhere in the world, which is why our properties are selling quickly. Of the 600+ home sites sold to

date, more than 400 have been purchased by Canadians, and the remainder mainly by Ecuadorians. Since this past September alone, 45 home sites have been snapped up by OttawaGatineau residents.” Once clients have secured their lot, HolaEcuador will help them build the beach home of their dreams. “We offer many home models for all tastes and budgets,” says Mr. Poole. “We also offer custom house and condominium design services. Our architects and engineers work with clients to make their dream house a reality, at prices that are a fraction of what they would pay in North America. Luxurious homes can be built in Ecuador for US$75 to $95 per square foot. We have nice little two-bedroom bungalows that are available for only $55,000 and larger, two-story luxurious homes with private pool available for $161,900 — land and taxes included!”

HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. HolaEcuador Property Development Inc. is owned and operated by Canadians with offices in Trois-Rivières, QC and Manta, Ecuador, and with regional sales representatives across Eastern Canada. Co-owner Gordon Poole lives in the Ottawa area and makes frequent visits to the Mirador San Jose project, where a team of Canadian and Ecuadorian professionals are permanently located. “Nearly half of our clientele comes from referrals from existing customers, which demonstrates how excited property owners are to be part of this community,” says Mr. Poole. “Our property owners vary from adventurers in their 20s to pre-retirees in their 40s and 50s who are buying property now, while it’s still affordable. Some intend to use their property for vacationing only, while others are planning to use it as a rental income investment. Certain clients see property ownership in Ecuador as a means to stretch their vacation and investment dollars further, while others are simply looking to escape the cold winters. Here in Ecuador you can do both.” HolaEcuador will be holding a free informational seminar on the lifestyle and financial benefits of property ownership in Ecuador on April 18, 20 and 21.

in an oceanfront development such as ours,” says Gordon Poole, co-owner of HolaEcuador. “In fact, real estate prices in Ecuador match those of Costa Rica of 15 years ago.” Indeed, many people dream of owning a property in the tropics, but the capital costs can be significant. Property in Ecuador, however, is absolutely within the reach of many Canadians’ budget. Ecuadorians enjoy the lowest cost of living in all of South America, a high standard of living and a stable, democratic government.

Even cowboy songs from Male Chorus John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

R0012028027/0411

EMC news - It was one hour ďŹ lled with music, much of it of the singalong variety. And the capacity audience at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening loved it, not only as evidenced by their singalong participation but also by their hearty applause. It was a performance by 16 members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, more than half of the Chorus’ full complement, as they sang 15 songs ranging from the Canadian version of the iconic “This Land Is Your Landâ€? (ďŹ rst made a hit by The Travellers in 1955 with the lyrics “This land is your land, this land is my land,/From Bonavista, to Vancouver Island,/ From the Arctic Circle,/ to the Great Lake waters,/ This land was made for you and me.) which both opened and closed the show to Irish, American and English folk songs to East Coast and West Coast tunes. And this was the ďŹ rst time that the Goulbourn Male Chorus inserted some cowboy songs, including “Jingle, Jangle, Jingleâ€? (you know the one: “I’ve got spurs that go jingle, jangle, jingleâ€?), a song ďŹ rst made famous by Kay Kyser back in 1942, and “Streets of Laredo,â€? an American cowboy ballad that has virtually become a folk music standard. Who could not be amused by the West Coast nautical song “Hunker Down,â€? with lots of British Columbia references including one to “Blubber Bay.â€? Only in Canada, we say. The rendition of “Song for the Mira,â€? that Cape Breton folk song, was a masterpiece, with four soloists and ute accompaniment by Christine Philipson. “My Wild Irish Rose,â€? an Irish folk song, will not soon be forgotten, at least by the ladies in attendance at this show because at its conclusion, Chorus members spread throughout the audience, distributing carnations

to the ladies, thanks to the generosity of Pretty Pots Florist of Stittsville. Goulbourn Male Chorus music director Robert Dueck acknowledged that these were not roses as per the song title but praised Pretty Pots for its generosity. “It’s the thought that counts,â€? he said in explaining that it was a “wild Irish carnationâ€? and not a rose that the ladies had received. But this just added to the jovial atmosphere which prevailed during this Friday Music Evening at the Gaia Java shop. So whether it was with “When Irish Eyes are Smiling,â€? that famous Irish folk song, or with “Aura Lee,â€? the American folk song that came out of the Civil War, or with “Down by the Salley Gardens,â€? an Irish folk song about foolish love, this contingent from the Goulbourn Male Chorus, with their matching white shirts and ties, ďŹ lled the coffee shop with their solid male voices. Even Gaia Java co-owner Paul Jay in his remarks at the performance made note of this, comparing the sound to that of the amazing male voices that he heard in song in his youth in Wales. For this performance, the Goulbourn Male Chorus was accompanied on keyboard by Bonnie McDiarmid, with both Gary King and Bob Steadman providing guitar accompaniment. For those who did not get to attend this Gaia Java performance by part of the Goulbourn Male Chorus, you should make note that you can hear the full Chorus in all its vocal glory at its upcoming spring concert which is taking place on Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Tickets for this concert are available now at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

STITTSVILLE APPRECIATION AWARDS NOMINATIONS! Do you know an individual or business that deserves recognition? This is your opportunity to bring their special contributions forward. My office is now seeking nominations for the annual Stittsville Appreciation Awards! Nominations must be received by Friday April 19th! The four categories are: The Roger Griffiths Memorial Citizen of the Year, the Senior Citizen of the Year, the Youth Citizen of the Year and the Business of the Year. Winners will be announced at the Appreciation Awards evening, on May 14th at 7pm. I encourage you to submit your nomination form by e-mail to Shad.Qadri@ottawa.ca, or drop off a form at my ward office which is located in the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, or by mailing it to 110 Laurier Avenue West, Ottawa, Ontario, K1P 1J1. Nomination forms are available for download from my website at www.shadqadri.com and can be picked up in person from the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Please include a detailed, written submission outlining why you are nominating a particular individual or business. VEHICLE SAFETY- ALL VALUABLES REMOVED Lately, my office has received some notices about vehicle breakins in Stittsville. The local police force is aware of these break-ins and will attempt to monitor and prevent further incidents as best they can. A good way to reduce these thefts is by lowering opportunities for criminals. Residents are instructed to remove their valuables from their vehicle, or secure them out of sight, and place a warning card in their window, letting would-be-thieves know not to bother searching their car, and also reminding others to take the same precautions. To find out how you can obtain a warning card for your vehicle, please visit ottawapolice.ca. THE ENTREPRENEUR William J. Bell, or Billy Bell, as he was known, came to Stittsville in 1927. He was a man with a lot of energy and he put it to use starting a number of businesses in Stittsville. Billy Bell first traded his farm up near Ashton for his cousin’s general store on Main Street, which he ran for many years. Across the street he operated a garage and ran a business hauling pulpwood day and night for two companies across Ottawa and Hull. In case he wasn’t busy enough already, he then built a big feed mill that used to stand on Main Street as well. Farmers would bring their grain there to be ground and while the mill was in business Billy started an insurance business. He later sold the insurance business to Silas Bradley who was the original Bradley to run Bradley’s Insurance which still stands and operates today on Stittsville Main Street! Billy Bell also bought a 200 acre farm, went into the construction business with another Stittsville resident and had a number of small housing developments in the community. Billy had donated land to Stittsville for a park in the South end and the park land was within his 200 acre farm at the time. The Goulbourn Township named Bell Park after Billy, which is located at Stittsville Main Street and Fernbank Road. As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. You can always reach my office by emailing shad.qadri@ottawa.ca or by dialling 613-580-2476. Please visit my website www.shadqadri.com to join our weekly community mailing list.

Last cards are coming up at Lions Hall euchres EMC news - All good things must come to an end. And so it is that this coming Thursday, April 11 marks the last in the current series of Thursday night euchre parties at the Lions Hall in Stittsville. It has been a series that began back in January and has run weekly since then. There were special nights like those celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and

Easter but also lots of enjoyable nights with folks enjoying an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre (followed by some snacks). This final euchre this Thursday, April 11 will end with a pot luck following the card playing. Those attending can bring along a pot luck item for everyone to enjoy if they wish. Getting back to last week’s action, Rosemarie Baine fin-

ished first with Joan Howell placing second. Third place went to John Story. And those springtime skunks were out again. Just ask Susan Gervais and Leila Graham, skunk victims on this particular evening. Georgette St. John had the hidden score while Ron Gervais won the booby prize. Dot Gifford took home the door prize. Winners of the 50/50 draws

were Joe Borsa and Shirley Beardsell. This euchre party series hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville is winding up this Thursday, April 11. As usual, the doors open at 7 p.m. with the euchre starting at 7:30 p.m. And, as usual, everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy playing four-hand euchre.

Grant has been collecting (pocket watches, early wrist watches and antique clocks) and repairing antique clocks and watches for 13 years. He received training locally from Dan Hudon, and with the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors in York, Pennsylvania, and has also received training from the former curator of the US National Watch and Clock Museum, also located in Pennsylvania. If you wish, please bring your own antique (or interesting) watches or clocks and Grant and Don will be pleased to assess them. As we have two “experts” on the topic, this should be a great program. We will meet at the Stittsville Legion with the program starting at 1:30. As usual, everything is free but if you wish, donations (to the Historical Society) for the appraisal would be appreciated. The Legion is handicapped accessible on the north side.

Travelling for soccer John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Thirteen year old Clarissa Larisey is one travelling gal. The Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade eight student not only has returned from a recent trip to France with her provincial soccer team but also since last October has travelled to Toronto every weekend to work out with her soccer teammates. The only player on this agespecific provincial team who is from the Ottawa area, she has been going to Toronto each weekend for training and skill development, all as part

of being selected as a member of this provincial team. So she is a traveler. As for the trip to France with the team which happened on the week before and the week of March Break, it was an intensive soccer experience, not a tourist excursion. “It was all soccer,” Clarissa says about the trip. The team practiced twice a day except on game days when there was a practice and the game. The team was based at a hotel in Marseilles which is located on France’s Mediterranean coast. The team would be bussed to soccer locations, with the exhibition games being

against older teams. All in all, the team won three of the five games, losing one and tying the other. “I think we did a great job,” Clarissa says about the team’s performance in France, saying that the players came home better soccer players because the older French players “pushed” them and forced them to think more on the field. For Clarissa, who graduated from grade six at Ecole Jean-Paul II, a French school in Stittsville, and who is now in Sacred Heart’s French Immersion program, her French ability proved helpful as she could understand what the op-

posing team members were saying as they spoke French. Clarissa started out playing soccer when she was about seven years old, eventually playing competitive soccer with the West Ottawa Soccer Club and joining the regional team, giving her the opportunity to train, be scouted and try out for the provincial team. She wants to play at the highest level and feels that being a member of the provincial team helps improve her skills. “My goal is to make it to the national team,” she says about her goal in soccer. She says that soccer is the only sport that she has really loved and has a passion for, describing herself as a player as very fast and skillful with good vision on the field. She plays the position of striker. Clarissa says that she has benefitted from her involvement with the provincial team and hopes to try out for the team again for next fall. She

Clarissa Larisey praises the coaching that the provincial team members receive, noting that soccer is not just running and kicking the ball. She says that it involves thinking on the field, being aware of different options to take with the ball and even knowing which side of the foot to pass the ball with. She says that her soccer game is now a lot faster and she thinks more thanks to the coaching given to her as a provincial team member. She says

that she has gotten a lot better as a soccer player thanks to this coaching. Clarissa is also thankful for the help and sponsorship which she has received to enable her to be part of the provincial team. These sponsors include Cavanagh Construction, E Landscaping and the Ontario Soccer Association Centre which provides the facility where the weekly training takes place. While soccer is a big part of Clarissa’s life, she also plays the piano, something which she has been doing since she was about five years old. She is gearing up for a piano examination this summer. She says that she likes all of her subjects at school, noting that her marks are pretty good. She likes being at Sacred Heart, acknowledging that it is a big change from elementary school but that it provides an opportunity to get to know more people. R0012019658

Ontario PC leader tours Laurysen plant John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

0307.R0011949739

EMC news - The message from Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak was jobs and the economy. And he used a local family-based manufacturing business as the backdrop for his pronouncement. Beneath sunny blue skies on Wednesday morning, April 3, the giant Laurysen Kitchens sign along the Carp Road said it all on its message board: “Welcome Tim Hudak” Arriving at 10:30 a.m. where he was met by local MPP’s Jack MacLaren of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding in which the Laurysen Kitchens showroom and manufacturing plant sit and Lisa MacLeod of the Nepean-Carleton riding, along with Ottawa West-Nepean PC candidate Randall Denley and Ottawa Vanier PC candidate Martin Forget, Mr. Hudak went into a private meeting with Laurysen Kitchens officials before then touring the manufacturing plant and making a statement in front of a giant blue banner that had been set up, proclaiming “Ontario Jobs.” Mr. Hudak was guided on his plant tour by Caroline Castrucci, vicepresident of administration, and Bill Laurysen, general manager and vicepresident of operations, as he was shown areas of the plant’s operations including its environmentally responsible water-based finishing system. Mr. Hudak took time to chat with some of the Laurysen staff on the floor including Vincent Hyatt working on cabinets, Steve Berrigan who was celebrating his birthday that day and longtime plant manager Jim Grenier. In his media conference, PC party leader Hudak said that the province can get back on its feet and grow the economy but that a new, different course is needed to do this since the present Liberal government has no plan aimed at increasing jobs. “It’s time to get our fiscal house in order,” he said, saying that his party has a plan for lowering taxes, getting energy costs under control and balancing the province’s books. He said that such a comprehensive plan is needed to turn the province’s econ-

omy around. He said that he was not optimistic that the current government understands the depth of the job crisis that is now facing Ontario residents. Ontario can get back on its feet and start growing again, he claimed, noting the Ontario PC party’s plan aimed at turning the provincial economy around. “A well run government will help well run businesses like Laurysen produce more jobs,” Mr. Hudak said, adding that if people want to turn the province around and create jobs, then the only choice is the PC party since the other two parties in the province (namely, the Liberals and the NDP) seem to think that the province is on the right track with the way things are at present. JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND But he proclaimed that he thinks Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak, centre makes a point when talking to Bill Laurysen, left, general manager and that people want change. “They don’t want more of the vice-president of operations of Laurysen Kitchens on Carp Road at Stittsville as they are accompanied on a tour of the 55,000 square foot custom cabinetry plant on Wednesday, April 3 by Corey Laurysen, second same,” he said. See MPP, page 33

Lions from five different clubs at meeting john.brummell@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a gathering of Lions at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, March 27 as Lions Club members from five different clubs assembled to welcome visiting District Governor John Chilvers. A District Governor is expected to visit every Lions Club in the District during his term in office but with 72 clubs in the local District A4, this can be challenging. That’s why combined meeting visits in which a District Governor attends a meeting involving more than one club have become a way for a District Governor to fulfil his obligation while also not having to be on the road constantly. Joining the Stittsville District Lions Club in welcoming District Governor Chilvers at this meeting at the Lions Hall in Stittsville were Lions Club members from the Richmond, Hazeldean, West Ottawa and Perth Lions Clubs. This meant that there were about 40 Lions members in attendance for the meeting which was chaired by Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis. At the meeting, Governor Chilvers highlighted his District project this year of raising funds for an initiative to help eradicate measles in children, noting that over 450 children each day still die daily from this disease around the world. He also praised the efforts of the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) for its work, especially with the blind. “In LCIF’s support of the blind in the worldwide community, the Lions Sight First program has provided eight million cataract surgeries and has financially assisted in the implementation of white canes being outfitted with Global Positioning Systems,” Governor Chilvers said. He also noted the success of the Lions campaign of 2012 to plant one million trees to aid the environment. “To date, more than 16 million trees have been planted,” he said. Governor Chilvers has also imple-

mented a program this year in which a Governor’s certificate and pin are presented to Lions Club members on achieving longevity milestones on a five year basis. At this meeting, he presented certificates and pins to Stittsville District Lions Club members Don Zogalo and Don Carson for 25 years of membership each in the Club. Richmond District Lions Club members Mike Hynes and Bruce Johnson both received certificates and pins marking their 40 years of membership each in the Club. Richmond District Lions Club member Ken Vaughn received a certificate and pin for completing ten years of Lions Club membership. At the meeting, Past District Governor Bill Dixon of the Perth Lions Club told about his “Pennies for Puppies” initiative in which pennies are collected to help with the Lions Foundation of Canada’s guide dog program. The goal of the initiative is to raise $22,000, the equivalent of two million pennies, to cover the cost of providing a guide dog with someone with a disability. The Stittsville District Lions Club donated over $300 to this initiative at the meeting. The funds have been raised by the Stittsville Lions from tips received from beverage sales during rental events at the Lions Hall. Those at the head table for this combined meeting marking the visit by District Governor John Chilvers, who is a member of the Greely Lions Club, included Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis; Lion Heather Chilvers of the Manotick Lions Club, who is the wife of the District Governor; Hazeldean Lions Club president Peggy Feltmate; West Ottawa Lions Club president Thomas Loyen; and Richmond District Lions Club president Bruce Martin. Following the meal provided by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Stittsville Legion, Stittsville Lion Don Carson ran a “Chinese Auction” which raised over $120 which will go for Lions charitable endeavours.

Songs of the alphabet Special to the News

like the alphabet itself. That’s why the annual spring concert presented by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its junior choir companion the JJ’s entitled “Alphabet Soup” is going to be a wonderfully entertaining evening – there’s going to be lots of variety and no doubt some very interesting songs. Indeed, are there even songs appropriate for every let-

ter of the alphabet? Obviously there are and the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the JJ’s will be singing their way through the alphabet at this concert. Linda Crawford is the director of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the JJ’s while Kaley Duff will be the accompanist for the two groups at this concert. The concert itself is being held on Saturday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in the Glen Cairn section of Kana-

ta. Tickets for the concert are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors. There is a family rate of $35 for a family of four with additional child being admitted for $5 each.

MARY COOK

Often I couldn’t pin down exactly what it was I didn’t like about the young girl. But there were times it was all too obvious that Marguirite felt about me, exactly as I felt about her. Take the day she decided to walk home from school the long way. But that day she decided she would go around the concession and walk to the Northcote side road with my little friend Joyce and me. We could have easily done without her company. It was a day I will not soon forget. Mother had made me a blouse out of bleached flour bag material. To take away the look that it once held flour, Mother had dyed it a bright green with Ritz dye. That day I had on this freshly dyed blouse over a white skirt which had come in a hand-me-down box from my aunt in St. Catharines. Mother thought it was far too early in the season for a white skirt, but I prevailed on her saying Marguirite had been in white for days. Well, that day, as we headed out after school, Joyce and I tried to ignore Marguirite as we walked along the Northcote side road. The ditches were full of water from the heavy rains we had that spring and occasionally we would stop and kick small stones into the water or coax a frog off the gravel. She was really getting on my nerves. I decided the best thing to do so that I could endure the walk to the crossroad was to pretend she wasn’t there. I squatted down on my haunches at the edge of the road, peering into the deep dark green water of the ditch. I told Joyce I

could see tadpoles, which of course I couldn’t. Joyce squatted too. We squinted into the water pretending to be deeply engrossed in what was in the water-filled ditches. Well, right out of the blue, Marguirite’s foot hit the middle of my back and within seconds she connected with Joyce sending us both sprawling. We went headlong into the water. It wasn’t deep, but we came up spluttering and rubbing our eyes. All we could see of Marguirite was those spindly legs bolting down the Northcote side road. Joyce was out of the ditch first. She held her hand down towards me and helped me onto the side of the road. I could see Joyce staring at me. I followed the direction of her eyes. Great streams of green dye were running from the home made blouse, into the white hand-me-down skirt! I was starting to look like a patchwork quilt. I looked down the road to see if I could catch up to Marguirite. She was just a dot on the Northcote side road. There was nothing to do but head for home. By the time I hit the kitchen door, my clothes were dry and the green water mixed with weeds from the ditch and mud from the road, were caked to my legs. Only then did I burst into tears. Mother stripped my clothes and even though it wasn’t yet Saturday night, I was given a bath in the copper tub before supper. All the time I lamented about the girl I hated with a passion, but once again Mother called my ordeal character building.

EMC lifestyle (NC) - Tacos make a quick meal or great snacks. In this recipe, grated vegetables replace the beef so it is a great way to increase vegetable consumption for your family. However, if desired, add beef as directed in the variation for taco salad. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Cooking time: eight minutes. Ingredients 25 ml (2 tbsp) olive oil 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 large carrot, peeled and grated 1 medium zucchini, grated 500 g (1 lb) sliced mushrooms 35g (1.25 oz) envelope reduced salt taco seasoning mix 50 ml (1/4 cup) water 12 taco shells, warmed 4 romaine or iceberg lettuce leaves, thinly sliced Some finely diced tomato, for garnish (optional) Directions Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan

over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook and stir for three to four minutes or until lightly browned. Add the carrot, zucchini, taco seasoning mix and water, cook and stir to mix well. Lower heat to medium, then cover and cook about four minutes or until vegetables are tender.

Silver Seven Minor Peewee Black are champs Special to the News

SUBMITTED

Members of the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee Black, playoff champions in the Ontario East Minor Hockey League, are, lying at the front, goalies Thomas Cook, left, and Eric Lorenz; first row, kneeling, from left, Liam Duff, Cameron McGahan, Spencer King, Robert Middleton, Nolan Nesbitt, Ryan Richardson and Nicholas Noonan; second row, standing, from left, Chris Roy, Noah Shannon, Jackson McElheran, Jack Bradley, Jack Bouwer, Rory Band, Shea Sass, Dylan Brisson, Alex Journeaux, Jason Scott, Nolan Doherty and Brad Moulton; and, back row, from left, goalie coach Jake Cook, head coach Jason Sass, manager Brad Scott, assistant coach Doug Band, trainer JF Roy, trainer Kevin Richardson, holding the playoff championship banner, and assistant coach Bob Moulton, also holding the banner.

EMC sports - It couldn’t have been any more dramatic for the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven (OVSS) Minor Peewee Black team in capturing the Ontario East Minor Hockey League (OEMHL) playoff championship. The goal clinching the championship was scored in front of a packed Goulbourn Recreation Complex crowd in Stittsville with less than one second left on the clock. Talk about suspense; talk about last second heroics; talk about excitement. It all happened as the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee Black completed an upset sweep in this championship playoff ďŹ nal series against the Ottawa Sting, the team which had ďŹ nished in ďŹ rst place in the regular season. The Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee Black had advanced to this championship ďŹ nal series against the Ottawa Sting by defeating the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee White team in an intensive, physical semi-ďŹ nal series that went ďŹ ve games, with the Silver Seven Black coming out on top. This Ontario East Minor Hockey League playoff championship rounded out a successful and memory-ďŹ lled season for the Ottawa Valley Sil-

ver Seven Minor Peewee Black team which draws players from the area including Stittsville, Richmond, Osgoode, Carp and Pakenham. The Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee Black ďŹ nished second in the Ontario East Minor Hockey League regular season, leading the league in goals scored and in goals against. The team also had the lowest number of penalty minutes. The Silver Seven Black went undefeated in the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven tournament at the Sensplex until the ďŹ nals, losing 2-1 in double overtime to a team from St. Catharines which was the number ďŹ ve ranked AA team in the province. At a Major Peewee tournament in Boston, the Silver Seven Black lost 3-2 in the championship semi-ďŹ nals to the eventual tournament winner, the Boston Jr. Terriers AAA team. The Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewee Black won the bronze medal in the Bell Capital Cup after being eliminated in the semi-ďŹ nals by the eventual gold medal winners, Jokerit Blue from Helsinki, Finland. The team’s game against Jokerit Blue was a particularly special game for the team and its players because team members had billeted the Finish team members in their homes during the tournament.

EMC news - The 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition is happening in May but you don’t have to wait until then to get a taste of Ottawa Valley stepdancing and fiddling. That’s because a fundraising event for the upcoming Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdancing Competition is being held in Richmond this Saturday afternoon, April 13. Running for three hours, this event won’t have the variety and number of performers that will be in the upcoming competition but it will be three hours of stepdancing and fiddling entertainment. It’s all taking place this coming Saturday, April 13 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) hall at the corner of Perth Street and Huntley Road 9 in Richmond. Tickets at the door will be $10 for an adult and $5 for a child.

Among the performers will be Triple Trouble, a trio of stepdancers; fiddler Kyle Felhaver and some of his entertainer friends; and “Elly Squared,” a fiddle duo comprised of Elly Wedge of Richmond and Ellen (Ellie) Daly. They have joined forces as a musical duo to perform traditional fiddle music.

Ashton 4H Club

Registration for 2013 for the Ashton 4H Club will take place on Wednesday, April 17 at 7 p.m. at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. For more information, please contact Herb Henderson at 613-257-3359 or Don or Jennifer Hess at 613-489-2947.

EMC news - You may or may not know that the making of pies goes back to about 9500 B.C. But really this makes no difference except for trivia buffs because there is one thing that everyone today knows about pies – they are good. And you can not only obtain a delicious pie but also can help out the Parkinson’s Society by dropping into the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (former Stittsville Villa) this Sunday, April 14 and purchase a pie in its “Pies for Parkinson’s” fundraiser. It’s that easy – no baking involved for you – and you participate in a win-win scenario: pies for your dinner table and funds to help the Parkinson Society with its work. The goal is to have 100 pies on sale and sold at this “Pies for Parkinson’s” fundraiser which will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera on Stittsville Main Street across from Holy Spirit Catholic

School. The pies will be donated by families and staff at the Stittsville Seniors Community but Stittsville and area residents in general can also donate pies to help with the event. Simply phone the Stittsville Seniors Community at 613-836-2216 to make arrangements for the drop-off of the pie or pies. This “Pies for Parkinson’s” fundraiser is another fundraiser being held at the Stittsville Seniors Community as part of its “Revera Giving – Community in Action” initiative which has already seen cookie and cake sales held to raise funds for designated organizations. The Parkinson’s Society was selected as the recipient of the fundraising efforts this time because Parkinson’s touches the lives of many of the people served by Revera in its seniors residences such as the Stittsville Seniors Community. Funds raised from this “Pies for Parkinson’s” sale will be donated to local chapters of Parkinson Society Canada. The first evidence of pies comes from about

rigidity of the muscles. Symptoms can also include fatigue, soft speech, problems with handwriting, stooped posture, constipation and sleep disturbances. What causes Parkinson’s? Movement is normally controlled by dopamine, a chemical that carries signals between the nerves of the brain. When cells that normally produce dopamine die, the symptoms of Parkinson’s appear. Currently there is no cure although a person can live with Parkinson’s for years as symptoms can be treated with medication. There are also therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy to help with daily activities and speech therapy to help with voice control which can help. Some people may also benefit from surgery. Parkinson’s can progress at a different rate for each person. As the disease progresses, non-motor symptoms may also appear, such as depression, difficulty in swallowing and cognitive changes.

Medieval cooks made pies and it was the early Pilgrims who brought pie making with them when they came to North America. The Parkinson Society is the national voice of Canadians living with Parkinson’s, a neurodegenerative disease. The Society provides education, support and advocacy on behalf of the over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson’s daily.
