Chain of kindness Inside at Main Street Cafe NEWS John Curry

News - Kindness is contagious.

Just ask the folks at the Main Street Café who saw kindness start and then spread through a number of others, six in total, before it came to an end – and that was only because there was no one else left in the restaurant.

It all happened on Sunday, April 6 when one customer paid the bill of another table since a daughter was dining with them, having been on a sleepover the previous evening.

But when this family went to pay its bill and discovered that it had been covered already, it was not a case of just saying “Thank You” and walking out. No, the family felt that it had to pay for someone else, passing on the “random act of kindness” that

had just occurred to them.

A table was picked and the bill was covered.

When these customers arrived at the cash to pay and found that the bill had already been paid, it was a repeat of what happened before – a table was picked and the bill was covered.

And so it went – one table after another, upon discovering that the bill had been paid anonymously, wanted to pay for someone else.

This went on for six times in a row and only stopped because no one else was in the restaurant at that time.

But it did happen again later, albeit in slightly different circumstances.

Someone paid the bill for an old high school friend at another table, so there was a connection. That this happened on the same day as the ongoing series of acts of kindness to perfect strangers was just a coincidence.

Heather Monette, wife of Main Street Café owner Marc Monette, who was working at the cash that day, says that all of those involved felt that they had to pay for someone else after receiving the generosity of someone themselves.

She noted that just about everyone’s bill was around the same amount in this whole process.

Cedar forest needs helping hands John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - It’s a 8.9 hectare area of moist mature cedar forest that needs some care.

And the Ottawa Stewardship Council wants to provide this care by engaging local community

groups in the assessment, cleanup and long term stewardship of the area. With this in mind, Janet Mason, a volunteer with the Ottawa Stewardship Council, talked about the area and the proposed project at the Stittsville Village Association executive meeting on Thursday evening, April 10.

Stewardship Council wants to work with community Continued from page 1

The Ottawa Stewardship Council in an independent body run by volunteers with a city-wide environmental stewardship mandate. It was originally created in 2001 with Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources support in terms of funding and a full-time coordinator but this Ministry support was withdrawn in 2013.

The city of Ottawa has over 180 urban natural areas or woodlots identiďŹ ed in the city, with this current initiative being to restore and provide sustaining care to some of these areas, with the city partnering with

the Ottawa Stewardship Council which in turn will try to engage local community groups and schools. One such natural area is being selected each year and this year the Ottawa Stewardship Council has selected a natural area in Stittsville as the focus for this project.

The area in Stittsville is a cityowned 8.9 hectare mature cedar forest that lies along the south side of the Trans Canada Trail immediately west of Sacred Heart Catholic High School.

Besides being home to a mature cedar forest, this natural area also has a diversity of native ora, is a breed-

Currently there is a network of informal trails winding through the area. There may be the possibility of establishing a trail through the area but it would be a meandering one since no trees can be removed and it would also have to be environmentally sensitive, featuring wood chips rather than any other materials.

Ms. Mason emphasized that the idea is to keep the area as a natural area and not used as a walking area or dog walking park. She said that the city has emphasized to the Ottawa Stewardship Council that the area is to be kept as natural as possible.

Ms. Mason is anxious to get Sacred Heart Catholic High School students involved, particularly in a

ing area for birds, has a small area of deciduous trees and does have some invasive species such as buckthorn and purple loosestrife.

Working with local community groups and schools, in particular the adjacent Sacred Heart Catholic High School, the Ottawa Stewardship Council hopes to evaluate the site with forestry experts, identify the existing plants in the area, host a spring cleanup of the site, remove invasive species, plant native species in the fall and, most importantly, make arrangements with the local community to take over the ongoing care of the area.

role of ongoing stewardship of the area. She will be approaching Sacred Heart Catholic High School as well as the Frederick Banting Alternate Program about the project. Other community groups like the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society may also be approached for their help with the project.

SVA director Ayah Stretch volunteered to lead a group on behalf of the SVA to help with the project if there is not enough help forthcoming from the high school or other community groups.

She expressed happiness that the Stittsville community has this natural area within its bounds and that the area is going to be preserved.

Kindness at Main Street Cafe Cntinued from page 1

“It was really neat,� she says about the whole ongoing chain of acts of kindness.

She admits that periodically people pay the bill of others, usually friends or people who let them sit with them when the restaurant is crowded and busy. But she admits that she has

never seen such an ongoing chain of kindness as happened on this particular day, going on for six straight unrelated customers.

Her husband Marc, who was busy in the kitchen throughout the happening, said that this chain of kindness to others produced a “nice feeling� for him.

At Museum Four year old Charlotte Williams is dressed as Cindy Lou Who from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas� at the Dr. Seuss-themed “Riddles, Rhymes & Storytime� family craft day at the Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners last Sunday afternoon. Youngsters attended the event dressed as their favourite Dr. Seuss characters.

News - Sunday, June 1 will be the day when Village Square Park in Stittsville will be alive with activity.

It will be the annual “Arts in the Park� event, formerly “Artists and Authors in the Park,� which will be taking place, running from 12 noon to 5 p.m. that day at Village Square Park at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street.

And the name change indicates a slightly enhanced focus for the annual event. Previously participation had been limited to artists and authors but this year the focus of the event is being expanded to include crafts people and food vendors like cupcake providers.

Again this y4ear there will be musical entertainment at the event, all with the goal of having more attractions on site to draw people to the event.

Stittsville Village Association (SVA) director Doug Sutherland, who is chairing the SVA committee organizing the event, told the SVA executive at its meeting on Thursday, April 10 that the more the event can offer, then more people are likely to attend and be part of the event. He is hoping that there will be as many as 50 exhibitors on site this year, up from the 30 exhibitors at last year’s event.

Another change made this year is that the event has been moved to one week later on the calendar. In the past, the event has happened on the last Sunday in May. Now it is being held on the ďŹ rst Sunday in June which this year just happens to be the ďŹ rst day of June, namely June 1st.

Tony Dunn drums as he accompanies the Harmonic Generation a cappella vocal group at its performance at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville/

News - Artwork all along one wall of the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville features musicians playing different instruments including the guitar, saxophone and trumpet. But the music at last Friday’s music evening at the coffee shop was not produced by any of these types of instruments or indeed any manufactured instrument.

Rather, the music that filled the Gaia Java coffee shop last Friday came from that greatest of musical instruments, the human voice, as the Harmonic Generation a cappella group presented a program of pop,

with legendary Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers.

Harmonic Generation also included a less well known but brilliantly written song “Words” that is associated with the Swedish group “The Real Group” which tells about words and how people can use them, say them, read them, love them and hear them.

The second part of this Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop saw Harmonic Generation perform a couple of African-inspired songs, with the group accompanied

by Tony Dunn on the drum in both cases. This was the first time that the group had performed with Tony on the drum.

One of the songs was called “Eden” which was written by the group’s own Paul Jay (also co-owner of the Gaia Java coffee shop) following a vehicle journey across Uganda.

Another song was one encompassing not only English but also several African languages like Swahili which was a rousing number, with the group’s Derek Chenoweth singing from the rear of the shop, separated from the main group at the front of the shop, before eventually rejoining the group at the front.

A number of the songs performed at this Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop will be performed by Harmonic Generation when it takes part in a multi-artist benefit concert for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign on Friday, April 25 at 7:30 p.m. at St. Joseph’s Church on Wilbrod Street in Ottawa.

Tickets at $15 for adults (children under 12 are free) for this benefit concert are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street or by contacting Brenda Mulvihill at 613-825-4540 or via email at Brenda.mulvihill@gmail.com.

This concert’s cause, the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign, aligns well with Gaia Java’s charity focus helping a Ugandan community project, with all tips and donations at the shop support the initiative.

The Gaia Java coffee shop holds a Friday music evening every Friday starting at 7 p.m. with admission being free. There is, though, no Friday music evening this Friday since it is Good Friday. The next Friday music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop will be on Friday, April 25 when Charles Valois will perform, delivering a variety of guitar and alternative rock/pop music.

News - Waste Management has applied for a rezoning to permit its proposed new landfill on the Carp Road just north of highway 417.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment has already given its approval for the new landfill. A rezoning is now needed from the city of Ottawa to permit development of the new landfill.

The site runs from 2349 Carp Road to 2432 Carp Road. It is located north of highway 417, south of Richardson Side Road, west of Carp Road and east of William Money Road.

The rezoning will allow the development which would include a waste disposal facility, new vehicular entrance via Carp Road, a landscape buffer along Carp Road, infiltration basins, stormwater ponds, an attendant’s booth, a weigh area and a public drop-off area. An application for site plan control will also be required in association with development of this site. Such an application has not yet been filled.

Scrap the Fair Elections Act

T

he most serious flaw among the many, many flaws in the Fair Elections Act is its author, MP Pierre Poilievre.

The entire exercise should be scrapped because he is unfit to draw up such a bill, let alone maintain his position as democratic reform minister.

Poilievre’s unprecedented attack on Chief Electoral Officer Marc Mayrand’s integrity, impartiality, and motives – saying the referee shouldn’t be wearing a team jersey – was compounded when he claimed Mayrand is trying to pad his power and budget. “He wants more power, a bigger budget and less accountability,� Poilievre told the Senate legal and constitutional affairs committee on April 8.

It’s a baseless claim, of course. It even runs contrary to Mayrand’s past actions (always a good indicator of future actions).

Instead, Poilievre’s bill reveals his party wants a bigger war chest, less accountability and more power to win elections by preventing non-Conservatives voters from casting their ballot. It encourages bigger contributions to larger parties by making campaign financing loopholes, creating less accountability from a weakened Elections Canada that uncovered the in-and-out scandal and other dirty tricks.

Mayrand aside, Poilievre also levelled baseless attacks against provincial chief electoral officers, scholars, public intellectuals, columnists, experts from various countries around the world, and protesters armed with petitions delivered to 25 MPs’ offices in Canada, including his own.

Perhaps conservative Preston Manning, who recently criticized the bill, is next.

The point is that elections experts are attacked en masse and without cause by Poilievre.

He’s not politely pointing out a dfference of opinion he has with critics – he’s questioning their motives.

Since he is presumably an expert on elections, as he is the democratic reform minister and spent some time thinking about the bill before drafting it, that is reason enough to disqualify him from penning it.

Elections experts, according to his reasoning, ought to leave the Fair Elections Act up to someone with less specialized knowledge and, say, more common sense.

Poilievre has proven that he is not intellectually capable of addressing arguments against the bill. Personal attacks are the surest sign of a flawed intelligence.

It’s time to scrap the Fair Elections Act.

‘Social engineering’ or not, we’re better off

A

ttempts by government to change the way people behave are often criticized as “social engineering� and often the criticism is justified.

But sometimes the attempts actually help.

This is what we draw from an event last week where the city and Ottawa Public Health dropped some statistics on smoking. It’s way down in Ottawa. After stalling for a few years, the smoking rate has dropped to 11 per cent. It was 15 per cent three years ago. According to Ottawa Public Health, ours is the lowest smoking rate in the province.

The city can’t claim full credit for this. What has happened here is part of a nation-wide trend that has been going on for decades. In 1999, the smoking rate was 23.2 per cent. In 1985, it was 35 per cent.

Some of these figures come from different sources, so comparisons aren’t exact, but you get the idea: in the last 30 years, the percentage of smokers has been halved, or declined by two-thirds, depending on which numbers you use.

That’s a significant change of behaviour, one of the most significant ever in our country.

If you are old enough to remember when everyone smoked, you know the difference. It is common now to be at parties where everyone

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town in the room used to smoke and none of them do now.

A lot of that has to do with peer, rather than governmental, pressure. Suddenly, it was not socially acceptable to light up. Suddenly, people became more fitness conscious.

Suddenly, your children were at you about smoking. Suddenly, people weren’t smoking on television. Suddenly, there were no ashtrays in people’s houses.

Things like that would have a big effect on us. But governmental action, both through regulation and education has made a difference too.

The kids who nagged at you to quit probably picked that up in school. Good for the schools and good for governments at all levels that kept pumping the health statistics out at us.

Of greater significance, though, were the changes made in where smoking was allowable. It got to be really inconvenient to smoke, which was an incentive to quit. It also got to be really expensive, thanks to higher and higher taxes. A pack of cigarettes costs something like $8 now. That’s a deterrent, particularly to young people. But the inconvenience might be even more important. In the days when cigarettes were cheaper, they were also much more visible. You would see people smoking them in grocery stores, on airplanes, in bars, in shopping centres, in theatres, in restaurants, at work.

Then the rules began changing. Cigarettes disappeared from the workplace, the stores, airplanes and trains. Then, with considerably more controversy, smoking was banned in bars and restaurants. This may have hurt bar and restaurant owners, but it made a big difference both to non-smokers and to smokers who were thinking of quitting (which, I can say as a reformed smoker, is all of them).

The jury may be out on the economic impact of banning smoking in restaurants and bars. But it can be argued that those who want to smoke can step onto the sidewalk. Meanwhile, bars and restaurants have gained new customers who had previously stayed away because they didn’t like to be in a smoky environment.

In short, people who were inclined to quit anyway found they had a greater incentive to do so because smoking had become not just an unhealthy and expensive pastime, but a pain in the neck.

Here, there was more help at the governmental level in the provision of anti-smoking programs at clinics and hospitals. Last year, more than 4,300 people took part in stop-smoking programs offered by Ottawa Public Health.

There is still muttering about social engineering, particularly as smoking bans spread out of doors. But you can’t argue with the fact that we’re better off for it.

their families as these children cannot be out in the general public due to the lack of immunity caused by the cancer treatments. In addition, being together in one box suite at the Canadian Tire Centre allows families facing the same situation.

Devan’s parents appreciated all of the support which the family received during Devan’s diagnosis and treatments and decided that they wanted to give back. A friend suggested the Refuse2Lose Team Bryce organization and its support of the Candlelighters Suite Seats program which the Kelly family had experienced during Devan’s cancer battle.

This electronics recycling drop off on Saturday, March 29 is only the beginning for the Kelly family.

Danielle Kelly is now arranging for a team called “The Fierce 100” to take part in the CN Cycle for CHEO that will be happening on Sunday, May 4.

This CN Cycle for CHEO is a non-competitive fundraising event for CHEO that offers a wide range of cycling and walking opportunities for participants of all ages and abilities.

The event begins and ends at the Canadian War Museum.

The electronics recycling drop-off on Saturday, March 29 also helped keep old electronics out of the landfill. All old electronics dropped off are being properly recycled or disposed of in a responsible manner. Items accepted included televisions, computers, laptops, printers, copiers, telephones and cell phones, cameras and video recorders.

This electronics recycling drop-off was an approved event by Ontario Electronic Stewardship.

The electronics recycling drop-off is free to those dropping off items. The funds are raised by the weight of the collected electronics, with $185 being raised for every tonne of recycled electronics.

In addition, this electronics recycling dropoff, organized by Stittsville mom Danielle Kelly with the support of her husband Ron and friends as a way of “Paying It Forward” and helping those who were so helpful on the journey by her eight year old son Devan in fighting cancer, also had a bake sale associated with it.

There were also cash donations accepted, with a total of $886.68 being donated in this way.

These funding sources all went together to raise the total of $4,333.30.

Mrs. Kelly and her family are thrilled with the success of this electronics recycling dropoff fundraiser and are happy to have the privilege of giving back to a charity which played an important role in Devan’s fight against cancer.

Eight year old son Devan Kelly was diagnosed last November with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma cancer and then he underwent 12 weeks of chemotherapy. He has now been declared cancer free.

Devan Kelly, who is in grade three at Ecole Jean-Paul II in Stittsville, was able to benefit from the Cantlelighters Suite Seats program during his period undergoing cancer treatment, attending this special suite at Canadian Tire Centre to watch an Ottawa Senators game and also see a Disney On Ice show.

This Suite Seats program is invaluable for children undergoing cancer treatments and

Some of the many eligible projects include: buffer strips, livestock restrictions, manure storage, land retirement, stream bank stabilization, tile outlet protection, tile drain control structures and well decommissioning. Funding is also available to decommission wells within the city’s urban boundary.

Farmers from rural and urban Ottawa and landowners within rural Ottawa are eligible to apply. Approved applicants must have a completed the third edition Environmental Farm Plan (farm projects) or Healthy Home Guidebook (non-farm projects).

Since 2007, seniors and people with disabilities earning less than $39,000 have been eligible to defer paying the annual property tax on their home until the property is sold or transferred to another owner.

The program allows those who qualify to have the property taxes on their residence deferred at an annual interest rate of 5% allowing homeowners who might otherwise have to sell their homes to stay in their homes and neighbourhoods.

It is a McHappy Day tradition that community personalities and leaders volunteer to work at the restaurant for one hour throughout the day, working alongside the regular staff. This makes it a special day for McDonald’s and indeed it is a special day because McHappy Day is a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Ottawa and CHEO (Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario). One dollar from the sale of every Big Mac, Happy Meal and all hot McCafe beverages including brewed coffee is directed to Ronald McDonald House Ottawa and CHEO. This year is the 21st annual McHappy Day which happens at McDonald’s restaurants across Canada including at the Stittsville McDonald’s at the Crossing Bridge Square plaza.

Lions give $500 to ‘Tysen’s Mission To A Million’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville is a person on a mission. And he has gotten a little closer to his mission’s goal of a million dollars raised for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario thanks to the Stittsville District Lions Club.

Tysen was at the Lions Club meeting on Wednesday, April 9 to receive a $500 contribution to his “Tysen’s Mission To A Million� campaign from the Lions Club.

It came about after the Stittsville District Lions Club was contacted by Tysen’s uncle who is a Lions Club members on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. A follow-up letter led to

an invitation to Tysen to attend a Lions Club meeting.

At the meeting, Tysen told how he was inspired to launch his “Tysen’s Mission To A Million� campaign after his own dream was fulfilled by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, namely a visit to his favourite actor Adam Sandler in California. And so far he has raised over $57,000 in his campaign, enough to fulfill almost ten wishes, as the average cost of a wish is $10,000. Indeed, the first wish to be granted

by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario from funds raised by Tysen will be announced soon.

Both Stittsville Public School and Goulbourn Middle School, where Tysen currently goes to school, have done fundraising for “Tysen’s Mission To A Million.� In addition, Boston Pizza at Kanata Centrum has held a couple of fundraising events and Kanata Toyota has contributed $10,000.

Young people in the community have also raised funds for “Tysen’s Mission To A Mil-

lion� by taking part in fundraising initiatives such as a bottle drive and making bracelets.

The Lone Star Restaurant will be holding a fundraising event for “Tysen’s Mission To A Million� later this month and this past Sunday Stittsville’s Pointe of Grace Dance Company held a dance show hoping to raise up to $10,000 for Tysen’s campaign.

One of Tysen’s objectives is to involve local youth in fundraising events for his campaign, giving them a positive goal for their actions.

Tysen, who is 13 years old, was Make-AWish’s “Mr. July� in its 2014 calendar.

On Tuesday, April 22, Tysen is scheduled to appear on the CTV Morning Show.

Tysen was born with a rare genetic disorder called Pfeiffer Snydrome and so far in his life, he has had over 26 surgeries, beginning when he was only nine days old.

More information about “Tysen’s Mission To A Million� can be found at the website www.missiontoamillion.ca.

Spring book sale at Stittsville library Special to the News

News - 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.

‘Come Try Ringette’ on Saturday, April 26 Special to the News

Sports - Those who buy a new car like to give it a test drive to see what it’s like.

In much the same vein, perhaps those considering a sport might want to “test drive” the sport before committing to it.

That’s why the West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) is holding a free “Bring a friend and come try ringette!” event on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Bell Sensplex on Maple Grove Road in Kanata.

The time from 10 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. is aimed at those aged 4 to 6 years of age who might be interested in the sport of ringette. From 11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m., those aged 7 and up will be taking to the ice.

This free “Come Try Ringette” event is an opportunity for youngsters and youth who would like to get out on the ice and try out the game of ringette to do so, getting a feel for the game. Perhaps you are already a ringette player but have a friend whom you would like to see trying out the

game. This is the chance to do this.

You can even try it out together!

Or maybe you are a hockey player who would like to learn more about ringette. This is a chance to check the sport out.

All you need is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves, either hockey gloves or a regular pair of winter gloves. Ringette sticks will be available for use.

This free “Come Try Ringette” event being hosted by WORA for those between the ages of 4 and 16 has been made possible thanks to the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport which through Ontario’s Sport and Recreation Communities Fund has provided a grant to WORA to hold such events to enable more young girls to try the sport of ringette.

And young girls between the ages of 4 and 7 and their families do not have to worry about equipment for those who are new to the sport of ringette. This is because WORA has an equipment loan program for new ringette players aged 4 to 7 that will

provide up to 26 such players with all of the necessary equipment except for a helmet and skates.

Representatives of WORA will be on hand at this “Come Try Ringette” event on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Bell Sensplex to answer any questions which players or parents may have about the sport of ringette. There will also be on-ice helpers there to assist any new

skaters and any new players who may need help or instruction.

Remember, it’s all free, so there is nothing to lose and you may just discover a sport that you will grow to love.

There is a particular opportunity for those who might want to be a goalie. If you have dreamed of being a goalie, come out to this “Come Try Ringette” event. WORA is especially

Shootout victory for Goulbourn Rockets novice girls hockey team Special to the News

Sports - It was a game for the ages that included double overtime and a multi-player shootout.

And, in the end, the Goulbourn Rockets novice girls hockey team came back from a 1-0 deficit to win the game and advance to the finals in the recent 31st annual Kanata Girls Hockey Association tournament.

This shootout victory came against the powerful Kanata Rangers who had entered the game with the most goals scored in the tournament. Indeed, the Rangers wasted no time, scoring 37 seconds into the game.

It looked like it might be a long game for the Rockets but that’s when the Rockets’ goalie Olivia Nystedt took over. She slammed the door shut to the Rangers, giving her team a chance in the game.

Her teammate Emmy Blauer, inspired by Olivia’s play, scored a highlight reel goal for the Rockets in the second period, outwaiting a sliding Kanata de-

fender and then picking the far corner to score, tying the game at 1-1. Assists went to Emmerson Lavictoire and Abigail Carter.

But with the game tied, could the Rockets stay even with the high scoring Rockets? Well, the Rockets had their secret weapon – goalie Olivia Nystedt who shut out the Rangers not only for the remainder of the game but through two overtime periods and then against four shooters in the shootout.

This set the stage for Emma Tysick of the Rockets who ripped one past the Kanata goalie in the shootout to win the game.

The stalwart goaltending of Olivia Nystedt was recognized as she was named the player of the game. Later she was also named to the All-Tournament Team.

This victory over Kanata propelled the Rockets into the championship final against the White Typhoons from Cornwall. Coming off their shootout win just a few hours earlier and

playing with just three defensemen, the Rockets kept the game close but fell behind in the third period, losing the championship to the Typhoons.

The Rockets took home the silver medals from this yearend tournament and while these medals were not gold, they represented a great team effort for a team that this year emerged as league champions and claimed either a silver or gold medal in every tournament in which the team played. What a change from a team that had a record of only three wins and 14 losses the previous season!

The Rockets had started in this Kanata Girls Hockey Association tournament slowly, losing 4-0 to the Gloucester Stars.

The Rockets had failed to blast off in this game.

But the Rockets got off the launch pad in their next game, a game against the powerhouse Black Typhoons from Cornwall.

Hannah Clarkson opened the scoring for the Rockets with an end-to-end rush, sliding a

backhander through the legs of the Cornwall goalie. Abby Tate followed this up with two goals of her own, both assisted

by Emmerson Lavictoire, as the Rockets skated to a 3-2 victory.

Abby Tate was named player of the game.

The Rockets now had to win or tie their next game to advance to playoff action.

It was a game against Clarence Rockland and although the Rockets had a number of breakaways, they could not beat the Clarence Rockland goalie.

Emmy Blauer, though, with an assist from Megan Power, scored on a classic wraparound to tie up the game 1-1.

This was the way the game ended but the tie was enough to vault the Rockets into playoff action in the tournament. Emmy Blauer was named player of the game.

It was then off to the playoff round for the Rockets and their shootout victory against Kanata followed by their championship final loss to the Cornwall White Typhoons.

Helen Hutchings, a cancer survivor and founder of Hair Donation Ottawa, stands beside her vehicle which now features a Hair Donation Ottawa message on its rear window.

Hair Donation Ottawa on April 27 Special to the News

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.

Hair Donation Ottawa, the initiative of cancer survivor Helene Hutchings who works out of the Coldwell Banker office in Stittsville, has raised more than $38,000 since it began in 2011. In addition, over 2,700 inches of hair has been donated to Angel Hair for Kids.

The fundraising proceeds have been split between the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and the CHEO Research Institute.

All of the hair donations plus a $1,000 donation have gone to Angel Hair for Kids (Cana-

da).

The way that Hair Donation Ottawa operates that registered participants must be willing to donate six-plus inches of hair or have a head shaved or a beard shaved.

Ottawa hair stylists are donating their time and talent to give a free wash, cut and style to those who donate their hair or who have their heads or beards shaved.

It all happens on Sunday, April 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon on Woodroffe Avenue.

For more information or to register to participate or to make a donation, visit the website www.HairDonationOttawa.com .

The hair provided to Angel Hair for Kids goes to help create wigs for cancer patients.

The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute includes The Centre for Innovative Cancer Research, a new laboratory that is designed to accelerate the development and testing of new cancer therapies.

The CHEO Research Institute is the research arm of CHEO that works to create new knowledge and evidence to help provide world-class treatment of cancer and a full spectrum of pediatric topics.

Angel Hair for Kids is a Canadian non-profit program that provides wigs to financially disadvantaged children who have lost their hair due to medical treatments.

Splash artists exhibit at ArtSpace Wall Gallery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The artists’ group is known as Splash and its work has added a splash of colour, ideal for spring, at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library this month.

A total of 21 paintings are hanging on the wall while there are several small works in the display case associated with the ArtSpace Wall Gallery. These smaller works include one of a snow covered landscape with a fence and evergreen trees done by Louise Rosch and a butterfly one done by Lily May. On the wall itself are florals ranging from views of hydrangea to a water lily to a purple lady slipper to white and yellow daisies to a yellow rose. But there’s more.

There’s a Norma Fobert work of a sailboat under sail at sunset while Bill Fryer has on display not only one work entitled “End of Day” featuring trees on a shoreline in a sunset scene but also a painting of a lighthouse on Devon Island in Nunavut.

There’s an international flavour as well to this exhibition as Marilyn Ross is displaying a painting of a monastery in Peru while Linda Christianson has a painting showing a

Closer to home, Jennifer Eady’s work “Acadian Clothesline” shows clothes drying on a clothesline.

Lily May has a work on display of a solitary pine tree set against a blue sky – a Group of Seven type scene, to be sure.

Lou-Ann Edwards’ “Autumn Collage” painting depicts coloured maple leaves on a branch.

Coloured maple leaves are also the focus for a painting done by the group’s instructor Heather Gallup herself, a horizontal work showing the leaves floating in space.

Heather Gallup instructs the Splash art group. She herself has painted in watercolour since 1986 and she constantly encourages people to involve themselves in art in a meaningful way.

Heather not only gives lessons but also offers themed workshops throughout the year. She not only works with the Splash art group and its exhibition at the Stittsville library but also currently is the Artist of the Month at the library branch in North Gower.

This exhibition by the Splash art group will be on display at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery at the Stittsville library branch until the end of April.

Members of the Splash art group who have work in this current exhibition at the ArtSpace Wall Gallery are Linda Christianson who likes experimenting with colours, shapes and perspective; Jennifer Eady, a longtime painter in acrylics who is now trying watercolours for the fun and challenge of it; Lou-Ann Edwards who is truly enjoying that she can create her own artwork; Norma Fobert who enjoys watercolours because of the way that the colours blend when they run into each other; Bill Fryer, who is enjoying learning about watercolour painting; Barbara MacIntosh, who decided to take art classes when she retired; Lily May who is fascinated with watercolours and what an artist can achieve with them; Colleen McRae who is learning new and interesting techniques; Mary Lou Mongeau who notices that the watercolour paints blend, change colour and create unexpected shapes; Louise Rosch who likes the flow of watercolour painting and the challenges that are presented by it; and Marilyn Ross who loves the painting process.

Making quilts to provide to cancer patients john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Dragonfly Quilters of Stittsville are helping cancer patients by providing quilts to Victoria’s Quilts.

These quilts are given free to anyone diagnosed with cancer who requests such a quilt. They can be used in any way but are particularly helpful in allowing a cancer patient to stay warm when undergoing chemotherapy and laying in the treatment facility waiting for the day’s infusion to be over.

In 2013, the Dragonfly Quilters provided 100 quilts to Victoria’s Quilts. The group, which has about 24 members, meets once a month and makes quilts working as a team.

“It’s sort of a rotation,” Phyllis Lumsden of Dragonfly Quilters says in explaining the assembly-line type process that the group uses in making its quilts. Using this team approach, several people work on a single top, allowing them to complete it quickly.

For instance, four people working on one top can complete it in about two and a half hours.

Officially known as a “Friends” group for Victoria’s Quilts, the Dragonfly Quilters put their own unique logo on each quilt that the group makes. In addition, a label identifying it as a quilt being provided by Victoria’s Quilts is added.

But providing the quilt is not all that the Dragonfly Quilters do. Each 54 inch by 70 inch quilt is accompanied by a cotton bag that is colour coordinated with the quilt and can be used to carry the quilt around. The bag also has a pocket that is ideal carrying a book or a magazine.

A display about Victoria’s Quilts has been on exhibit at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville. It has featured two quilts made by the Dragonfly Quilters along with information about Victoria’s

Quilts. It was an appropriate time for such a display since Volunteer Week has just been completed and April is Cancer Month.

Part of the reason for the display is to get the word out about Victoria’s Quilts and how anyone with a diagnosis of cancer can request and receive free a quilt.

This can be done through the Victoria’s Quilts website.

Victoria’s Quilts started in the United States. Victoria Ann Morrison was a wife, mother, grandmother, quilter and best friend of Deborah Rogers who became the founder of Victoria’s Quilts in the United States.

Victoria was a cancer patient and her comment about getting cold while she was laying in the treatment facil-

ity waiting for the day’s chemotherapy infusion to be over was what gave Deborah Rogers the idea about providing quilts to keep cancer patients warm during chemotherapy treatment. Victoria’s Quilts was born.

In August 1998, Betty Giffin of Ottawa learned about Victoria’s Quilts in the United States and brought the idea to Canada.

Things started slowly, with 16 quilts being distributed to people with cancer by Victoria’s Quilts Canada in its first year, 1999.

Victoria’s Quilts Canada slowly expanded to include branches outside the Ottawa area. Over the years, more and more branches have opened across Canada.

Currently Victoria’s Quilts in

Canada has more than 800 volunteers meeting in 20 groups in the Ottawa area while there are close to 30 branches across Canada. In 2012, Victoria’s Quilts Canada distributed 5,571 quilts free of charge to cancer patients across Canada and currently over 400 quilts are distributed each month to cancer patients across the country.

Victoria’s Quilts Canada’s mission is to provide quilts to people with cancer in Canada. By providing these quilts, Victoria’s Quilts hopes to bring physical comfort to those dealing with cancer as well as spiritual comfort in knowing that they are not alone in their struggle.

A Victoria’s Quilt is made not only with love and joy, but also in practi-

cal terms with a 100 percent washable cotton fabric top, a thin layer of cotton batting and 100 percent cotton flannelette backing. The thread used is 100 percent cotton. The quilt can be any colour or pattern and is either hand or machine quilted. It is free of buttons, charms or detachable embellishments since it may be near medical equipment. It is also made to be durable since it will be washed a number of times.

With the number of people diagnosed with cancer continually rising, Victoria’s Quilts Canada has seen an increase in the demand for its quilts.

This trend is expected to increase but Victoria’s Quilts is determined to continue to provide quilts to all those who request one.

Girls collect for Food Bank

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The Stittsville Food Bank is benefitting from the effort of four Stittsville girls.

Wanting to help out some charitable organization, the friends decided that a food drive for the Stittsville Food Bank in their neighbourhood would be a good way to help out others.

So, for about a week, they canvassed homes in their Granite Ridge neighbourhood in Stittsville, going door to door seeking donations of food for the Food Bank.

They found that homeowners were nice to them, even if they had nothing to give. Many of these promised to give something another time. Initially they carried around a bag in which to collect the food items. But the bag soon became heavy and so they began using a little blue cart in which to collect the food items.

All in all, the four girls collected 145 food items for the Stittsville Food Bank, covering a wide spectrum of food such as beans, soup, pasta, vegetables, sea food and sauces.

The four girls who thought up the idea of a food drive and then under took it are Sophia Skrok, age eight years old; Jayden Clark and Tiana Michalska, both nine years old; and Amal Abed who is ten years old.

Jan Michalski, Tiana’s father, pointed out that the four girls had an idea to do something to help out and came up with this idea of a JOHN CURRY/METROLAND neighbourhood food drive for the Stittsville With their assortment of food items which they collected around their Granite Ridge neighbourhood in Stittsville for the Stittsville Food Bank and then they went ahead and carFood Bank are, from left, Sophia Skrok, Jayden Clark, Tiana Michalska and Amal Abed. ried it out.

News - Inspirational speakers.

A meaningful message. And don’t forget the dance!

These were all part of the National We Day held at Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday, April 9, with some 16,000 students who had earned their way to the event by making a difference in the lives of others.

Two of these students were Sacred Heart Catholic High School grade eight students, Morgan Flanigan, 14, and Ashley Wing, 13. They were among a group of 11 grade seven and eight students from Sacred Heart who attended the event.

Morgan had heard about We Day and thought that it would be fun to attend which proved to be the case. Ashley knew about We Day because her sister had attended a couple of years ago and so she made sure that when she had the opportunity to attend, she took it.

Their Sacred Heart group sat in Section 103 which placed them almost at floor level in Canadian Tire Centre.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND We Day included music, videos Morgan Flanigan, left, and Ashley Wing, right, are two Sacred Heart Catholic and inspirational speakers. MorHigh School grade eight students who attended the National We Day at gan was impressed with Martin Canadian Tire Centre on Wednesday, April 9.

Luther King III, who is a human

rights advocate, while Ashley found Spencer West, a double amputee who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, as a very inspirational speaker, noting that he was probably her favourite speaker of the day. But Ashley admits that there were many inspirational speeches, calling Martin Luther King III a really interesting speaker as well.

Morgan said that the overall message from We Day to the students was don’t give up on your dreams. You may think it is not possible but everything is possible, the students were told.

Morgan also notes that the message included the thought that you are never too young to change the world.

Ashley added that the message also included the idea that someone will always be there to help you attain your dream and make change happen in the world.

Ashley said that the event which was filled with inspirational speakers and videos and music kept her attention throughout the day.

“None of it was boring,” she said.

One of the ways that the students were kept energized was by learning and doing the “We Day dance” which they did four times.

This dance emphasizes a lot of arm movements since the students were all restricted in some

respects from moving around too much in their seating areas.

Ashley said that We Day was “everything I expected and more,” noting that the singers as well as the speakers were amazing. In addition, the stage setup and its backdrops and screens were equally amazing and attention grabbing.

There was never a moment when we weren’t having fun, she commented about We Day. All of the students left We Day with a gift bag which included sunglasses, a motion-sensor bracelet and a booklet about how to make change happen.

We Day is the world’s largest youth empowerment event of its kind, bringing together renowned speakers and performers.

This year’s National We Day at Canadian Tire Centre included Queen Noor of Jordan, GovernorGeneral David Johnston, Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, human rights advocate Martin Luther King III, 11 year old Free The Children ambassador Hannah Alper, double amputee Spencer West, Canadian pop rock band Neverest and Free The Children co-founders Craig and Marc Kielburger.

The idea behind We Day is to engage and inspire students to take action on local and global causes that are important to them.

Sir Singalong, Sir Dancealot, Sir Spinaround in skit John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - There was Sir Spin-

around. And Sir Sneeze It. And Sir Growlahad and Sir Singalong. And don’t forget Sir Dancealot.

Their names said it all: spinning while walking, sneeze while talking, growling before talking, singing all responses

and dancing all the time.

Yes, this was quite a group of Knights of the Round Table, all presided over by King

Arthur, and even with three lovely maidens in tow – Maiden Muriel, Lady Helena and Lady in Waiting Elizabeth.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Those who participated in a skit “Medieval Times” on behalf of the Stittsville District Lions Club at the talent show at the Lions District Convention at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata last Friday are, from left, Paul Riddell as Sir Dancealot; Don Zogalo as Sir Singalong; Don Redtman as Sir Growlahad; Beth Lewis as Lady in Waiting Elizabeth; Jack Burke as King Arthur; Gord MacIsaac as Sir Sneeze It; Helen Burke as Lady Helena; Bob Lewis as Sir Spinaround; and Clare Redtman as Maiden Muriel.

It doesn’t waste energy.

SPECIAL FINANCING AVAILABLE

It all came alive at the Lions District Convention at the Brookstreet Hotel in Kanata last Friday night as the Club talent night had a medieval theme. In keeping with this theme, the Stittsville District Lions Club came up with a skit featuring King Arthur, his five peculiar Knights, a round table, and the three lovely maidens.

Stittsville District Lions Club members who participated in the ski were Bob Lewis as Sir Spinaround; Gord MacIsaac as Sir Sneeze It; Don Redtman as Sir Growlahad; Don Zogalo as Sir Singalong; Paul Riddell as Sir Dancealot; Jack Burke as King Arthur; and Beth Lewis as Lady in Waiting Elizabeth from “the Shambles.”

The other two maidens were Stittsville Lionettes Clare Redtman who was Maiden Muriel from “Maiden Way” and Helen Burke as Lady Helena from “Westminister Abbey.”

Part of the skit involved asking a series of trivia questions, first directed to members of the audience but then answered if necessary by one of the Knights of the Round Table.

nicate 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.

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 Nursery 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.

Lineups greet opening of ‘kiwi kraze’ in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Self-serve frozen yogurt is a hit in Stittsville.

Hundreds turned out at the opening of the new kiwi kraze self-serve frozen yogurt shop on Thursday evening, April 10, creating a constant lineup that wound out of the shop and across in front of several adjacent storefronts at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza, numbering 80 or more customers in the lineup at any one time throughout the grand opening evening that ran from 5 p.m. through to 10 p.m.

The fact that everything was free during the evening was undoubtedly an added incentive but the fact that over 600 customers signed up for the kiwi kraze loyalty program over the course of the evening shows that many are going to be long-term patrons of this self-serve frozen yogurt outlet.

Shop owners Shaun and Samantha Swire were well prepared for such a turnout on this free opening night which is something that happens at the opening of every new kiwi kraze location. They did not run out of any yogurt or the

many toppings that can be added to it. In addition, they had 11 staff members on duty

that particular evening, all stationed at key spots in the shop to keep things running

smoothly and to ensure that everything was kept clean and that all of the toppings were

replenished when needed.

Normally, even though it is a self-serve operation, this

kiwi kraze will have three or four staff on duty, keeping things clean, replenishing the toppings bars when needed and serving as cashier, weighing each yogurt creation to determine the price paid. That’s how it’s done – the customermade bowl of yogurt, featuring any of the ever-changing flavours being featured, either singly or two mixed together or several accessed, and then topped with fresh fruit, nut and/or candy toppings, is weighed at the cashier, with the customer paying just 55 cents per ounce.

There’s a seating area in the shop where customers can enjoy their yogurt creation at their leisure or they can take their yogurt with them and enjoy it elsewhere.

Samantha Swire said that she became a fan of kiwi kraze when her children wanted to go to the one in Kanata whenever they were in Kanata. Making their own yogurt creation with toppings of their choice is what youngsters really love about kiwi kraze. That’s why she and her husband Shaun decided to become franchise owners.

They decided upon a location in the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville, went for training in London and are now open and operating, offering Stittsville and area residents self-serve 100 percent Canadian frozen yogurt.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri dropped in to wish them good luck and congratulations on their opening at the free opening evening. kiwi kraze may be a quick-serve food outlet but it deals exclusively with its own all-Canadian proprietary blend of yogurt. It is fat free with many sugar-free options as well. And a myriad of toppings, many of them fresh fruits, are available so that a customer can make the yogurt truly his or her own. kiwi kraze’s proprietary blends of yogurt and top-ofthe-line equipment, combined with its endless number of favour combinations available from its rotating roster of yogurt flavours and toppings, make a visit to kiwi kraze a new experience each and every time.

A self-serve frozen yogurt creation at kiwi kraze, with its wide variety of flavours and choice of toppings, makes it the most individualized food experience available.

This new kiwi kraze self-serve frozen yogurt shop in Stittsville is open from Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Flavours at the shop change periodically but flavours available last week included fresh strawberry, cookie dough, classic vanilla, sweet salted caramel gelato, milk chocolate, cake batter, New York cheesecake and strawberry sorbet.

This Stittsville store is offering a number of specials.

There’s Family Night Mondays when there is 10 percent off purchases made between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Then there’s Two-For Tuesdays where a customer can get two for the price of one between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Tuesdays. There will also be Wacky Wednesday Specials and Thursday Text Specials. And then there’s the Weight of the Week special. If the weight of a customer’s yogurt creation matches the weight of the week as posted on Facebook or on the in-store readerboard, then the yogurt creation is free. kiwi kraze shops can be found in the London and Toronto areas as well as the Ottawa area. In the Ottawa area, there are kiwi kraze shops now not only in Stittsville but in Kanata, in Barrhaven, in Orleans and at the Train Yards shopping area on Industrial Avenue in Ottawa.

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 “Medley of Melodies.� It’s the spring concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus which performs under the direction of Robert Dueck of Stittsville. “Medley of Melodies� will be happening on Saturday, April 26 at 7 p.m. at St. Paul’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 “Give Me A Choral Medley!� which is also known as “A Singer’s Spoof.� This one song incorporates everything from madrigals to

master works to show tunes to spirituals to folk songs to swing music. And that’s all wrapped up in one song – it’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.

The cost of a ticket is $15.

Besides the concert, there will be a silent auction held with both pre-concert 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 to augment the Goulbourn Male Chorus which he also directs as one time guest performers at the Male Chorus Christmas concert in 2011.

Following this concert, Mr. Dueck received a number of requests to consider directing an all-ladies chorus in addition to the Goulbourn Male Chorus which had been founded in 2010.

IN THE MATTER OF THE ONTARIO HERITAGE ACT Notice of Intention to Designate The City of Ottawa on March 26, 2014 established its intention to designate 478 Albert Street under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value.

Description of Property The building at 478 Albert Street is a three storey residence with a high basement that is located on the south side of Albert Street, to the west of the intersection of Bronson Avenue and Albert Street.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest The house at 478 Albert Street is signiďŹ cant for its design value as an excellent example of the Second Empire style, historical value for its association with Thomas Seaton Scott and contextual value as part of a cluster of historic nineteenth century buildings on Albert Street.

The building at 478 Albert Street was constructed circa 1874, in the Second Empire style, which was popular in Canada between 1860 and 1900. The architectural features of the building which are characteristic of the ornate Second Empire style include its mansard roof, ornate entrance, prominent second storey elliptical porch, distinct triangular bay windows and intricate dichromatic brick work.

The building at 478 Albert Street was designed for and likely by, Thomas Seaton Scott, the ďŹ rst Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works. Scott was a well known Canadian architect whose work in Ottawa included the 1874 design for the west block of Parliament and the Drill Hall at Cartier Square. Later residents of the building included noted Canadian author William Dawson LeSueur, the Victorian Order of Nurses and the Sisters of Service. The building is associated with the former Ashburnham Hill neighbourhood in the west end of Uppertown. Ashburnham Hill was an early residential neighbourhood which was settled by members of Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s English-speaking elite from the mid- to late-nineteenth century.

Former councillor Ken Vaughn dies at 76 But Mr. Vaughn was involved in more than just municipal politics.

He served on the Goulbourn Township Wall of Fame Committee in the 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, helping the committee in identifying and honouring a number of athletes from Goulbourn who had achieved national or international recognition.

He joined the Richmond District Lions Club in 2002 with his membership sponsored by his close friend Bruce Martin. With the Lions Club, he served in several positions and on many committees and was an active participant in Club events and projects.

A Lions memorial service for Ken Vaughn was held at the Kars Chapel of the Tubman Funeral Homes on Friday, April 11, just prior to the evening visitation.

Mr. Vaughn was also a director of the Richmond Agricultural Society, having been elected to a two year term in 2012 and then re-elected at the 2014 annual general meeting last January.

Special to the News

News - Ken Vaughn of Richmond has died.

The longtime Richmond resident passed away in hospital on Monday, April 7, 2014. He was 76.

Mr. Vaughn served for nine years from 1982 to 1991 as the Goulbourn township councillor representing Richmond.

In the 1982 election, he defeated then-incumbent councillor Don Green while in the ensuing 1985 election, he defeated Bert Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Grady. He was then re-elected again in the 1988 municipal election, turning back challenger Gerhard Schneider.

For all three of these terms, he served with Goulbourn township mayor Anton Wytenburg.

Mr. Vaughn did not seek re-election in the 1991 municipal election, with Bob Miller defeating Hank Helleman and Peter Sturrus to become the Richmond ward councillor on Goulbourn township council.

For both the 2012 and 2013 Richmond Fairs, he chaired the committee in charge of the golf cart shuttle service on the grounds.

Mr. Vaughn is survived by his wife June (nee Young) and his children Wendy (Jeff), Jeff (Andrea) and Greg (Elaine). He is also survived by three grandchildren, Kendra, Brandon and Lauren as well as by his mother Eileen Vaughn (the late Ferdie) and his siblings Dorothy Gifford (Bill), Garnet (Diane), Bev Craig (Hugh), Doug and Judy Rasa (Willy. He was predeceased by his brother Ernie.

Visitation was held at the Kars Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes on Roger Stevens Drive at Kars on Friday, April 11 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and again from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The funeral service was held last Saturday, April 12 at 10:30 a.m. at Christ Church Ashton.

In memoriam donations to Christ Church Ashton would be appreciated by the family.

Recycling drop-off

John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Here comes Earth Day! And a great way to celebrate the occasion is by gathering up your old electronics that are sitting around your home and taking them to the second annual free electronics recycling drop-off being held at Stittsville Public School on Saturday, April 26.

Coming just a couple of days after Earth Day, it is a great way to demonstrate support for protecting the environment which is the aim of Earth Day. This free electronics recycling drop-off on Saturday, April 26 will take place in the parking lot at Stittsville Public School at 40 Granite Ridge Drive in Stittsville, starting at 8 a.m. and running through to 1 p.m.

And you will not only be helping the environment by recycling these old electronics but you will be helping out Stittsville Public School because the proceeds from this event are going to go to help out the school. Those dropping off old electronics can do so for free. The funds are raised from the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) which will provide funds to the Stittsville Public School organizers depending on the weight of the collected electronics.

The Live 88.5 radio station’s Ground Crew will be on site with music and prizes. Among those helping to unload the old electronics from your vehicle will be city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who against this year has volunteered to help out.

You can take just about anything

to this electronics recycling dropoff. Everything will be recycled in a responsible manner including monitors, televisions, computers, printers, fax machines, copiers, telephones, answering machines, cellular devices, pagers, home theatres, vehicle audio devices, digital cameras and video recorders.

So it’s a great way to do some spring cleaning around the house by getting ride of those old electronic devices that have just been sitting around the house. It will not take long – just drive in, stop, have the items unloaded by volunteers and off you go while the volunteers carry the items to the recycle bin. It’s easy and fast and usually there is no waiting. It couldn’t be easier.

Stittsville Public School is working with the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) on this initiative. OES is a not-for-profit industry organization that oversees the responsible reuse and recycling of end-of-life electron-

ics with this free electronics drop-off program being one of the ways that this mission is carried out.

The goal is to divert electronics from landfills and ensure that they are responsibly recycled.

The OES asks that all Ontario residents take an E-cycle pledge and promise to reduce their e-waste by selling it, donating it, gifting it or recycling it. This is an opportunity to recycle it for free.

In 2010, 80 percent of Ontario households had at least one out-ofuse electronic device.

In 2011, 90 percent of Ontario residents indicated that they had at least one out-of-use device.

Yet, despite the abundance of all of these out-of-use devices, less than 40 percent of Ontario residents actually recycle an old electronics item.

Yes, recycling is a great way of re-using materials found in e-waste.

E-waste contains some of the most valuable precious metals mined and

refined today.

For instance, to produce one tonne of copper, it takes only 14 tonnes of recycled e-waste. If copper is mined, it takes 80,000 tonnes of raw materials from mining to produce one tonne of copper.

And just how much is one tonne of copper?

One tonne of copper is enough to make 5,000 new mobile phones.

And e-waste is also golden!

One metric ton of e-waste from personal computers contains more golf than the gold recovered from 17 metric tons of gold ore.

For more information, check out the website www.recycleyourelectronics.ca.

Earth Day is an annual event celebrated on April 22 on which events are held around the world to demonstrate support for environmental protection. It was first celebrated in 1970 and is now marked in more than 192 countries around the world.

Spring means lawn bowling!

Special to the News

Sports - There will be lawn bowling soon!

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 game that goes back to the possibly the 12th century and most definitely to the 13th century. It is also 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.

It is felt that lawn bowling may have begun back in the 12th century but definitely the game was being played in 13th century in England. This has been verified by a manuscript from the 13th century that contains a drawing representing two players aiming at a small cone.

The world’s oldest bowling green can be found in Southampton, dating back to 1299.

100th birthday celebrated at Villa John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - “Happy Birthday” resonated through the lounge area at the Stittsville Villa on Stittsville Main Street last Saturday afternoon.

But it was a very special “Happy Birthday” as those who filled the lounge area sang it to celebrate the 100th birthday of longtime Villa resident Dorothy Taylor who turned 100 years old that very day.

The “Happy Birthday” singing was even led

by entertainer Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux with his musical partner Bouncing Brian Nierenhausen providing guitar accompaniment. The pair had performed for the assembled residents in the lounge before Dorothy appeared and was led to the chair of honour, adorned with a bouquet of balloons including one with the magic “100” on it.

A cake sporting a number of lit candles was wheeled before Dorothy who proceeded to blow out the candles. A little later, she cut the cake in the company of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who attended the birthday celebration.

Councillor Qadri presented Dorothy with a certificate of congratulations and also presented her with a box of cookies of different varieties from the newly opened Nestle Toll House at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive.

Lisa Cowan, executive director of the Stittsville Villa (Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera), said that Dorothy Taylor’s 100th birthday was a very special day at the Villa. “Thank you for being ‘you,’” she told Dorothy.

Necia Williams, who is known as “Snowy” to her friends and who has known Dorothy since they both were among the first to move into the Villa back in 1996, said that Dorothy has been a great friend over the years. Calling Dorothy a “wonderful person,” she recounted how Dorothy, who lived in the apartment just below her apartment, had checked on her many times over the years including once when she had fallen in the apartment, a fall which Dorothy heard.

Bernice Vermette, Dorothy’s daughter, was there to share in the joy of the event. Dorothy also has two grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Cake and juice were provided for all those who packed the lounge area at the Villa for this birthday celebration.

Before Dorothy had arrived at the lounge, Jumpin’ Jimmy Leroux and guitarist Bouncing Brian Nierenhausen entertained the crowd with a variety of songs, ranging from oldies like “It’s A Long Way To Tipperary” and “Hey, Good Looking” to a Frank Sinatra tune “Something Stupid” which was later sung by his daughter Nancy Sinatra to a 1955 Johnny Cash song “Fulsom Prison Blues ” to the Elvis Presley hit “Blue Suede Shoes” to the well-known “Tennessee Waltz.” Some even got up and danced to a number of these tunes, adding to the party atmosphere that permeated the lounge area.

Sports - Imagine swimming five kilometers. Or what about swimming for two straight hours.

That’s a lot of time and effort spent in the water.

But that is just what just under 70 members of the Goulbourn Seahawks did in the club’s recent annual fundraising swimathon.

Early on Saturday, March 22 and again on Sunday, March 23, swimmers from the Goulbourn Seahawks swam either 200 lengths of the pool at the Richcraft Recreation Complex in Kanata or swam for two hours, which happened first. This year’s swimathon took place at the new Richcraft Recreation Complex pool due to the extended closure of the Seahawks’ home pool at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville due to extensive mould-related renovations.

This swamathon is the only fundraiser that the Goulbourn Seahawks club holds. Swimmers not only swim in the event but ask friends and relatives for pledges and donations related to their results in the event.

The club’s senior swimmers finish their swimathon participation in just over an hour, swimming the required 200 lengths of the pool which totals five kilometers. Some of the youngsters swimmers do not reach the 200 lengths goal but swim lengths for the full two hours of the swimathon.

The swimathon happens over two sessions, one on a Saturday morning and another on the Sunday morning.

There are prizes for the top fundraisers among the swimmers but perhaps even more important to the top swimmers is the friendly rivalry that happens among them every year.

Kendrick Cooke was the top fundraiser in this year’s swimathon, raising $740. Wow! The top three male swimmers in this year’s swimathon were Matthew Hayward with a time of one hour, two minutes and 45 seconds for the 200 lengths of the pool; Robert Clarke with a time of one hour, four minutes and 46 seconds; and Hunter Dunlop with a time of one hour, five minutes and 8 seconds.

The top three female swimmers in completing the 200 lengths of the pool (the five kilometers) in this year’s swimathon were Michele Delfino with a time of one hour, 11 minutes and 57 seconds; Katie Mackaskill with a time of one hour, 12 minutes and 34 seconds; and Tamara Shaw who finished in a time of one hour and 15 minutes flat.

Goulbourn Seahawks coaches Valerie Hayward and Barbara Moffitt as well as onlooking parents cheered on the swimmers in the swimathon. There were also timers and lap counters.

After completing the swimathon, the swimmers enjoyed a snack and prizes.

Michelle Cole was the coordinator for this year’s Goulbourn Seahawks swimathon.

In addition to honouring the playoff winners, the annual banquet provided the opportunity to recognize the best efforts of players over the course of the season and to celebrate the values of friendship, fun and sportsmanship set when the league was established over 40 years ago and which are still promoted today.

The top scorer award (scoring is tracked only during the playoffs) went to Korey Harrison who accumulated 19 points over his ten playoff games.

The other SMHL awards are all voted on by the players. The league’s MVP award went to Craig St. Germain while Korey Harrison was recognized as the top forward.

Defenseman of the year went to Neil Jones while Craig St. Germain received the top goalie award.

The most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player award was presented to Fred Bulmer. You know that sportsmanship is highly valued in this league when 36 of the 70 players are nominated for this award.

The league’s most coveted award, the John Shouldice Memorial Award, is voted on by the players and has everything to do with what the league tries to accomplish each year, namely the forging of lifetime friendships and the enjoyment of the fun of the game of hockey.

John Shouldice was a Stittsville resident and longtime SMHL player who died of cancer in June 2002. He was a true representative of a gentleman’s league hockey player and so each year the league remembers his legacy with a toast and the presenta-

tion of the John Shouldice Memorial Award.

The trophy itself consists of one of John’s skates bronzed to create a trophy. This year’s recipient was Brad Morley, acknowledged as the person who best represented the spirit of the league for the 2013-14 season.

Brad, who is the current president of the Stittsville Men’s 30 Plus Hockey League, is considered a quiet leader and a decent hockey player. He has spent many years coaching, assisting and training Stittsville minor hockey teams.

In and around Stittsville during the coming “off season,” if you should see someone sporting a white or black SMHL ball cap, you hopefully will be reminded of this true gentleman’s hockey league that has a 40-plus year legacy in the community.

During the season, late nights on Tuesdays and Fridays at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena are the normal for the players who participate in this five-team league. While most Stittsville residents are sound asleep, these players are just getting warmed up for a fun and friendly game of hockey.

The league prides itself on being a friendly and fair group of players who, at an average age of 45 years, may be a little past their prime in terms of skill but who still enjoy the exercise, camaraderie, fun and friendly competition that a couple of games of hockey each week provides. This past season, the league saw seven new “rookie” players and also welcomed back two returning players who had left but came back.

Sports - In cowboy western movies, traditionally there’s those wearing white hats and those wearing black hats, representing the good guys and the bad buys respectively.

But while the Stittsville Men’s 30 Plus Hockey League (SMHL) distributes white and black ball caps at the end of the season, it is not a determination of who is a good guy and who is a bad buy. That’s because the 70 Stittsville-area players who play in the five team league are all good guys, a friendly bunch who are continuing to play hockey to enjoy the exercise, camaraderie, fun and friendly competition that results.

The white and black ball caps are a tradition in the SMHL but one related to identifying the champions and non-champion team members.

The 2013/14 season ended on Friday, April 4 with the final four teams “competing” for bragging rights.

Team Dark Blue, captain by Peter Cottreau, came out on top this year and received the championship trophy and the traditional white SMHL “champions” ball caps at the league’s annual banquet the next night, Saturday, April 5, at the Bistro 54 restaurant in Amberwood.

While the Team Dark Blue players received their championship white ball caps, all of the other players in the league received black SMHL ball caps that, while proudly worn, would be happily traded for the “coveted”

Ringette has spread to other countries such as Finland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Russia and the United States, although Canada still has the largest number of ringette players with over 50,000 playing the game.

Ringette is a fast paced ice sport in which intentional body contact is not permitted. It in involves six players on each team on the ice at any one time.

Players are not permitted to carry the “ring” (ringette’s alternative to a puck and hence the sport’s name ringette) over the two blue lines. The ring can be advanced over a blue line only by passing it to another player.

Ringette is related to ice hockey in equipment and playing surface but differs in rules and approach to the game.

In ringette, the challenge is to catch or “stab” the ring. To catch the ring, a player must stab through the hole in the ring with the bladeless stick, usually while the player is on the move.

Once stabbed, the ring is easier to control than a puck but the blueline rules force more passing.

That’s why ringette is a game where skating and passing are paramount and where teamwork is a focus.

Canadian championships in ringette are held annually as has been the case since 1979. The sport is also played in universities and is a sport at the Canada Winter Games.

Children’s activities, ribbon cutting and donation that will save lives all part of opening of new CIBC branch John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - A plethora of children’s activities from a mobile games theatre outside to a balloon artist to a craft table to photos with the Easter bunny. Awesome. A ribbon cutting to mark the official opening of the 12th new Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) branch in the Ottawa area in the past five years. Remarkable.

And a donation of $300,000 that will help establish Canada’s national public umbilical cord blood bank that will save lives. Priceless.

And just think, all of this happened right here in Stittsville last Saturday at the grand opening of the new Terry Fox & Fernbank CIBC Banking Centre at the Walmart shopping area at the corner of Fernbank Road and Terry Fox Drive.

It was a glorious early spring day, with a sunny blue sky overhead and temperatures in the 18 degrees Celsius range, providing an ideal setting for the outdoor activities which included a hot dog/hamburger BBQ available for a donation towards the annual CIBC Run For The Cure, a “Games To Go” mobile games theatre trailer, and a DJ who sent music wafting over the activity area as well as over the nearby parking lot.

And don’t forget the cupcakes, which were available on trays being carried around not only outside but also inside the bank.

And this outdoor activity scene was carried on indoors, with busker Brian Wilson amazing youngsters with his balloon creations while other children enjoyed a craft table and yet others had the opportunity to have a photo taken with the Easter bunny, a big white bunny with pink ears and wearing a blue vest. The Easter bunny theme was reinforced with a number of bank staff wearing rabbit ears.

Red and yellow balloons were in evidence around the branch, with some arranged in pillar-like structures with a penguin on top.

And while all of this was awesome and lent a bustling atmosphere to the branch, it was the cutting of a red ribbon that officially marked the opening of this new CIBC branch that first opened its doors just before Christmas.

Among those in attendance for this ribbon cutting ceremony were city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, city of Ottawa Kanata south councillor Allan Hubley, CIBC District Vice-President Dean Chapman and CIBC General Manager (Ottawa Central Retail Distribution) Guy Milne.

In her remarks at the opening, branch manager Gillian Schreiter noted that CIBC had a long history in the Ottawa area, with the first branch established in 1874. She said that this new Terry Fox & Fernbank CIBC branch was a state-of-the-art facility that will be open six days a week to provide service and advice to clients.

She pointed with pride to the fact that staff at the new branch had a combined fluency not only in English but in a number of other languages as well, reflecting the diversity of the community that it is serving.

City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson, in his comments before the ribbon cutting, noted that CIBC is providing 11 jobs in the community with the opening of this new branch.

But he also noted that CIBC is known for more than just its economic impact in the community, citing the CIBC’s philanthropic initiatives such as the annual CIBC Run For The Cure event.

He presented branch manager Gillian Schreiter with a plaque from the city recognizing the

opening of the new branch.

City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, in his remarks at the opening ceremony, noted the great turnout at the event on an equally great day weather-wise. He noted that Stittsville, just like the CIBC, has a long history.

Councillor Qadri suggested that CIBC, the bank’s abbreviated moniker, rather than standing for Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, could stand for “Commerce Interactions in Building Communities.”

He welcomed the new business to the Stittsville community which he said now numbered 27,000 people and was projected to grow to about 70,000 population in the next 20 to 25 years, making it a great market to serve not only today but into the future.

CIBC District Vice-President (Ottawa District) Dean Chapman, in his remarks at the opening ceremony, said that people today want greater flexibility when banking. For CIBC, this means not only online and e-deposit banking but also opening more branches with longer hours so that people can bank as it suits their own personal schedule.

He noted that with this new branch, the 12th to open in Ottawa in the past five years, CIBC now has 27 branches across the city.

He noted that this branch is offering Wednesday and Thursday evening service to 8 p.m. as well as Friday service to 6 p.m. Saturday service from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with numerous different languages being spoken by staff. The branch also has a drive-thru facility.

The cutting of a red ribbon by manager Gillian Schreiter, assisted by a number of others including Mr. Chapman, mayor Watson and councillors Qadri and Hubley, marked the official opening of the branch.

But just before this happened, there was what Margaret Miedema, who is director of fundraising and development for Canadian Blood Services, called a “wow moment” as Mr. Chapman, on behalf of CIBC, presented a donation of $300,000 to Canadian Blood Services for its “For All Canadians” fundraising campaign to establish Canada’s national public umbilical cord blood bank. This is a $12.5 million campaign which has already reached the $8 million level.

In making the donation, Mr. Chapman said that CIBC supports causes that matter in a community and this donation just reinforces that commitment by CIBC to support such causes that matter to people.

Ms. Miedema of Canadian Blood Services said that this new national public umbilical cord blood bank will save lives of cancer patients who currently are waiting for stem cell transplants. Indeed, she said that there are currently 1,000 people waiting for such stem cell transplants.

She said that this $300,000 will help make this new national public cord blood bank possible and by so doing, will save lives.

Canadian Blood Services has undertaken a fundraising campaign called “For All Canadians” to raise the funds to help build this new national public cord blood bank.

Right now, Canada is the only G8 country that does not have such a national public cord blood program.

The new national public cord blood bank will create a new system that will collect and store stem cells from cord blood donations representing the unique multi-ethnic communities in the country.

cells.

Each cord has a potential life-saving stem cell match in Canada.

The new national public cord blood bank will provide new mothers with an opportunity to donate a child’s umbilical cord for the benefit of patients in need of a stem cell transplant. Collecting and storing umbilical cord blood in an accredited national public bank will help save lives and reduce the suffering of many families.

The demand for blood stem cells in Canada is growing with the number of Canadiuan patients waiting for life-saving stem cell transplants tripling over the past five years. These patients are suffering from cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma and diseases like aplastic anemia and they all require stem cell transplants to survive.

Today, in the world, there are 500,000 cord blood units stored in more than 46 public cord blood banks in 27 countries.

However, there is still difficulty in finding a match for every patient.

For certain diseases, a stem cell transplant is the only treatment option available to patients in order to survive. Other sources of stem cells can be obtained from adult donors through bone marrow or peripheral blood collection. However, umbilical cord blood offers a range of advantages such as greater availability, fewer possible complications post-transplant, and more possible matches.

Canadian Blood Services itself, which is leading the way in estab-

lishing this new national cord blood bank, is a not-for-profit charitable organization whose mission is to manage the blood and blood products supply for Canadians.

Canadian Blood Services collects over 900,000 units of blood annually and processes them into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year.

Canadian Blood Services also manages the â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Match Stem Cell and Marrow Networkâ&#x20AC;? whose mis-

sion is to secure donors for Canadian bone marrow transplant patients as well as for patients abroad.

In addition, Canadian Blood Services screens every donor and tests each unit of blood or blood product collected for a variety of transmissible diseases.

CIBC is a leading North American financial institution with 11 million personal banking and business clients. It offers products and services through its electronic banking network and branches across Canada.

Jock River Race Special to the News

News – The late arriving spring has delayed the annual Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race.

The race has now been rescheduled to Saturday, April 26 as the original race date of 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 Sun-

day, 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 min-

utes 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..

Community Association coming for Jackson Trails with tentative meeting 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 Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;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.

MPP Jack MacLaren’s bill in Legislature Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News – Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren’s bill related to the Niagara escarpment made it through seconding reading in the Ontario Legislature last week.

Tabled April 10, the Bob Mackie Act would allow an exception be made to the Niagara Escarpment Commission’s rules to allow for an archery business. Bob Mackie, a friend of the Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP, died of a heart attack on Feb. 8 after a lengthy legal battle to keep his business open.

“He’s a brave man who stood up for principle and died as a result,” MacLaren said. “It bled him dry, financially, and he

was in court until the day he died.”

An ecologically-sensitive area, the Niagara Escarpment is a refugee against most private businesses. However, MacLaren insists the target-shooting business safely backed onto the escarpment (not a neighbour’s), was quiet, provided a valued service and contributed to the tax pool.

“He was not hurting anybody and everyone enjoyed having his business,” said MacLaren, who became friends with Mackie while both held positions in the Ontario Landowners Association.

He admits Mackie was in the wrong when it came to a building on his property, but opposed the commission when it passed an order prohibiting archery after a neighbour complained.

Although Mackie’s property, near

Beamsville, is zoned agriculture and not commercial, MacLaren’s bill would allow for this one exception to the escarpment’s planning and development act.

“It’s a tribute to a poor man who died fighting many years for what he felt was right,” MacLaren said.

“He represents people all over the province suffering from (government intervention). I’d be happy if any small person called me for help.”

Once per year backbench MPPs are allowed to table a private member’s bill.

They usually fail to pass, but give the MPP a chance to voice their opinion in the legislature on a pet issue. The Bob Mackie Act could reach third reading, but a spring election is expected; that would kill all bills.

MacLaren said the act would not affect the Carp Escarpment. He was unaware of the Huntley Highlands group attempting to bring rules to the Carp ridge area.

‘Time, Talent and Treasures’ live auction at St. Andrew’s Special to the News

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 half-time 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.

Community support making new play structure possible John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The iconic childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Little Engine That Couldâ&#x20AC;? teaches the value of optimism and hard work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I can, I think

I canâ&#x20AC;? becomes â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I could, I thought I couldâ&#x20AC;? when the seemingly impossible task is done.

And now Richmond Public School is in the same position of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Little Engine,â&#x20AC;? facing a seemingly impossible task of raising $80,000

AND SAVE!

for a new play structure at the school in Richmond. But just like with the little engine, the Richmond Public School Council, which is spearheading this two-year fundraising project, is slowly seeing â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think I canâ&#x20AC;? become â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I couldâ&#x20AC;? thanks to the support and generosity not only of the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parent community but also of the business community of Richmond and area and the community in general.

Indeed, even this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduating students at South Carleton High School in Richmond have thrown their support behind the project.

Last Friday the South Carleton High School graduating class turned over $500 to the play structure project, based on the desire to leave a legacy for the SCHS class of 2014. And what better way to accomplish this than to help out with this Richmond Public School project and have the class recognized on the permanent

plaque that will be erected in the school yard and also on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;thank youâ&#x20AC;? list located in the school foyer.

This is just the latest in what has been an overwhelming show of support for the project by the community.

Already $25,000 of the $80,000 goal has been raised and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more coming. The School Council is hosting a S.O.S. (Start Our Structure) dance featuring the group â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ambushâ&#x20AC;? on Friday, May 2 at 8 p.m. at the Alfred Taylor Recreation Centre in North Gower. There will also be a silent auction, an appetizer reception and a cash bar. Tickets at $25 each can be purchased by calling Robyn at 613-229-0319.

All of the proceeds from this S.O.S. event will go towards the new play structure.

But this is just the latest in an ongoing series of fundraising initiatives.

Amazing support from whole school community Continued from page 50

There has been the sale of pumpkins, the sale of flower bulbs, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing sale, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas gift sale, a craft fair, a scrapbook day and a Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breakfast. All of these and more have, with overwhelming support from parents and the community, generated funds for the play structure project.

Richmond Public School Council president Tina Allison says that the support and fundraising so far has been â&#x20AC;&#x153;phenomenal,â&#x20AC;? resulting in big support for this little school. Yes, Richmond Public School is on the road to becoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Little School That Could and Did.â&#x20AC;?

President Tina Allison notes that the support of all of the families at the school has been amazing and that without this widespread support, the fundraising would not be anywhere near where it is now.

Another source of overwhelming support has been the business community of Richmond and area. The Richmond Public School Council sent out about 200 letters to local businesses and their generosity and support has started to manifest itself with donations for the project.

Current sponsors of the project include National Leasing, South Carleton Physiotherapy, D.G. Griffiths (Barrister & Solicitor), Harmony Gardens Landscaping Inc., Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Your Independent Grocer, Richmond Home Hardware Building Centre & Design Centre, Carlmar Holsteins Ltd. (Kent and Robyn Fraser), the LeBlanc family, Curtis and Sarah McKay, the Shane family, Southpaw Property Maintenance Ltd., Doug and Sarah Pike, John and Barb Fraser, Tim Hortons (Richmond), the Bujolds, the Bartley family, Cattie Clapp & friends of Jockey PZP, JM Custom Carpentry (Jeff and Elaine Martin), the Charles family, Yard Kings, Byers Farm Equipment and the 2014 Graduating Glass of South Carleton High School.

Richmond Public School Council vice-president Liz Martin-Shane acknowledges the School Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own extensive fundraising for the project but notes that the School Council has been overwhelmed by the support received from the community in general for this project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simply put we have reached out to the community for help and they are answering,â&#x20AC;? is how she puts it.

Clean up Richmond and village-wide garage sale Special to the News

News - The Richmond Village Association is organizing 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.

Clean up crews and volunteer individuals are needed to make this happen.

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.

A list of homes participating in this village-wide event will be able to be found on the richmndvillage. ca website as a google map. Those who would like to participate and list a garage sale for this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Richmond Village Garage Saleâ&#x20AC;? should contact richmondvillage.garagesale@gmail. com .

The current play structure at Richmond Public School has been around for over 20 years and while it is still being used, it is not in the best of shape and needs replacing before it is shut down by the school board.

Having a new play structure at the school has been on the radar of the School Council for a number of years but over time momentum for the project had been lost. Now it has been revived and is flourishing since the School Council made a decision last October to embark on a fundraising project with the goal of having a modern, safe and accessible play structure in place by September 2015

or earlier.

The new play structure will make outdoor play not only more enjoyable for Richmond Public School students but also for youngsters in the community who use the play structure on a regular basis both after school and on weekends. The design and foot print of the new play structure will be governed by rules and regulations set out by the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. But it is expected to cost about $80,000.

There is $7,500 in funding for the project available from the School Board and this funding of $7,500 will be matched by the city of Ot-

News - Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural event raised $2,100 to help in the fight against mental health.

And so this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second annual Family Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street has even greater expectations, hoping to raise a similar amount or even more for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charity of choice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Candlelighters organization which works with youngsters suffering from cancer.

What a lineup of attractions at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family Fun Day! Little Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reptiles will be presenting a one-hour show starting at 12 noon. Both young and old enjoy seeing the assortment of reptiles and snakes that Little Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always shows at its shows.

This Family Fun Day, which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 3 will also feature Sam Griffin, a balloon creator who not only makes dogs and cats and other traditional animals but also creates balloon figures of Bart Simpson and other TV/movie personalities.

Kids just love his creations!

And so does Sandra Edwards of Dandelion Kids Consignment Shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre, one of the organizers of this annual Family Fun Day there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stuff that he does is fabulous,â&#x20AC;? she says about Sam the Balloon Guy who will be at the event for the whole four hours that it runs.

But Little Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Reptiles and the balloon guy are just a couple of many attractions that will be happening at this Family Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre.

There will be lots of hot dogs available, all

for just a donation to Candlelighters.

There will be a silent auction with a wide variety of items donated by Stittsville Shopping Centre businesses as well as other local businesses. There will be lots of gift baskets filled with goodies up for grabs.

The Pottery Playhouse at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will have special pottery pendants available.

Karaoke will be available at times throughout this Family Fun Day and Curves will be providing a zumba session or two. In addition, Curves new circuit will be set up and available for trying.

The Kumon Centre at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be holding a used book sale while Napoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CafĂŠ will probably be offering some food tasting experiences.

Gaia Java Coffee Company will be participating and, indeed, the participating businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be holding special sales that day.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural event on the first Saturday in May enjoyed beautiful sunny weather and organizers are hoping that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will enjoy a similar fate, especially after such a long, cold winter.

Candlelighters wants to enrich the lives of children and their families coping with childhood cancer.

Its vision is that every child affected with childhood cancer and their families should enjoy the best quality of life possible from the time of diagnosis through to the completion of treatment and beyond.

Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death of children in Ontario. More than one child per week in this area is diagnosed with a childhood cancer, receiving treatment at the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital of Eastern Ontario.

Legacy gift to CHEO generates $4.6 million As CHEO gets ready to celebrate its 40th anniversary this year, it is natural to reflect back to the early days of the hospital. It was a dream that was built on sheer will and determination by a community that was committed to providing the best health care for its children and youth. During the late 1960’s and early 70’s, physicians, elected officials, parents and the community at large joined forces to establish a special and distinct hospital to serve the children and youth of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. This group raised $4 million from the community which was a formidable sum for the times.

When Mr. Cochrane died in 1985 the CHEO Foundation received $540,000 from his estate. The Foundation established the Weldon Cochrane Endowment Fund with his gift as directed in his Will. Much has happened and changed at CHEO in the nearly 30 years since Mr. Cochrane’s death, and in that time his legacy gift has generated $4.6 million in interest which has benefited generations of patients and families at CHEO. In 25 years from now based on a conservative interest rate of 6% The Cochrane Endowment Fund will be valued at $19,742,605; in 50 years it will be $84,732,710 and in 100 years it will have reached $1,560,789,584.

THE IMPACT OF MR. COCHRANE’S GENEROUS GIFT IS PROBABLY BEYOND WHAT HE COULD HAVE EVEN IMAGINED WHEN HE MADE IT OVER 30 YEARS AGO. HIS LEGACY LIVES ON AND CONTINUES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF YOUNG PATIENTS AT CHEO TODAY, AND FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. In 1980, when the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) was only just 11 years old, Weldon Cochrane, an Ottawa chartered accountant and partner with the accounting firm of Coopers and Lybrand (now PriceWaterhouseCoopers) was also the Treasurer on the CHEO Foundation Board. Mr. Cochrane had an appreciation for the importance of leaving a legacy and understood how to make an impact. With that in mind, he made a gift in his Will to CHEO leaving the residual of his estate with instructions for it to be endowed; meaning that the capital would be preserved in perpetuity and the annual interest would be used to fund the important work at CHEO. He was predeceased by his wife, Adrienne Cochrane and his only child, Delma Grace Cochrane.

With these funds CHEO will be able to continue to purchase state of the art equipment, fund lifesaving research while continuing to provide the best in pediatric care for the children and youth of our community. His legacy lives on at CHEO every day through the children and families that benefit from his generous and forward thinking.

As CHEO marks this major milestone, we look back and honor those in our community who made our local children’s hospital a reality and donors like Mr. Cochrane who made children a priority in their lives.

Donors like him have helped to ensure that CHEO will be here forever. Why not honour what is most important to you during your lifetime by considering a gift in Will to CHEO. Our children, youth and families deserve to always have excellent health care, to benefit from lifesaving research and be provided with the support programs to live happy and healthy lives now and forever.

WHAT IS FOREVER CHEO? Forever CHEO is a way to ensure that CHEO will always be here to provide excellent care, lifesaving research and invaluable support to children and their families every day by making a gift from your estate.

When you leave a gift in your Will to CHEO you have the option of designating it to address immediate needs within the Hospital, the Research Institute or the Forever CHEO Endowment Fund.

This fund will preserve the full amount of your gift and disperse the interest to CHEO annually. Since the fund will live on in perpetuity, so will your gift to future generations of children at CHEO. This is a way to leave a permanent and meaningful mark on your community.

Free adult programs at Stittsville library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Are you inquisitive about family history, woodturning or digital cameras?

Well, if any of these topics is of interest, you should consider registration for one of the upcoming free adult programs on these subjects being offered at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

If you are into preserving your family’s historical documents, then a program entitled “Storing and Preserving Family History” that is being offered on Tuesday, May 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Stittsville library branch may be what you are looking for.

Cultural preservation professor Kyla Ubbink from Algonquin College will be presenting this program in which you will learn some valuable techniques for preserving family historical documents for the future.

If you have also been intrigued by woodturning, then you will want to attend a program on Tuesday, May 20 from 6:15 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. at the Stittsville library branch in which Laurie Riley will explain about the art of woodturning.

Laurie has been a woodturner for over 30 years, turning wood into useful objects.

This program was initially offered last October but had to be cancelled. This will provide

another opportunity for people to learn about the art of woodturning.

Woodturning is a form of woodworking that results in creating wooden objects on a lathe.

The wood moves while a stationary tool is used to cut and shape it.

Woodturning dates back to about 1300 BC when the first lathe was developed in Egypt.

During the industrial revolution, the lathe was motorized, allowing for more production in less time.

Another program being offered at the Stittsville library branch deals with digital cameras and how to go about buying one to meet your needs.

“How To Buy A Digital Camera” will be offered on Tuesday, June 17 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at the Stittsville library branch on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Chris Taylor, president of the Ottawa PC Users Group, will provide information and advice on what to look for when buying a digital camera and how to shop for the best deal possible.

All of these free adult programs at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library require registration by participants. Registration can be done online at www.biblioottawalibrary. ca. There is always the possibility that a program will be cancelled if there is an insufficient number of registrants.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - Why my cousins from Montreal were with us that time of year was beyond me.

Ronny and Terry had come with Aunt Helen, who promptly went home on the train as soon as their clothes were unpacked. So it looked like they were going to be with us out on the farm for a while, long enough that Ronny would go off to the Northcote School, while Terry, the youngest, would stay home with Mother.

Even though Ronny was a force to contend with, I loved it when the Lapointe cousins vis-

Panic over loose tooth

ited us on the farm. There was never a dull moment.

That early Spring morning, a Saturday it was, I woke with a front tooth in the bottom of my mouth hanging by a thread. I could feel it with my tongue, and I fled my bed like I was on my way to the gallows. Mother was already in the kitchen stirring porridge.

I pointed to the tooth, vowed I was on my death bed, and by that time had woken the entire household who still had not gotten up.

CAT OF THE WEEK I AM “DRAKE”

R0012643749/0417

I was chosen as a spokes person to WISH ALL OUR DEAR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS A WONDERFUL EASTER CELEBRATION... and taking this opportunity I would also like to put a plug for myself... I WANT TO BE ADOPTED... I am a sweet young boy, love people... healthy and happy the only thing is missing is my very own family whom I can spoil with my attention and cuddles. Why not come and visit me... will be counting the days.

Mother looked in my mouth and lifted her hand as if she was about to perform surgery, and I clamped my mouth shut tight, still screaming at the top of my lungs.

Ronny came downstairs into the kitchen, immediately knew what all the fuss was about, and announced that he was completely capable of getting rid of the tooth, and I wouldn’t feel a thing. “I get rid of Terry’s all the time,” he said.

Ronny went to the cupboard, got out the ball of string, and ripped off a good portion and said he would make a loop over the tooth, I would sit on a chair, and he would walk slowly to the back door, hanging on to the other end of the string, and the tooth would be gone.

“You won’t feel a thing,” he said. Well, the last time Ronny experimented with me and one of his high fallootin’ ideas, I flew off the shed roof holding an open umbrella and had a splint on my leg for two weeks.

Mother was working away at making breakfast for Father and the brothers, who would soon be coming in from the morning chores, and she was paying absolutely no attention to Ronny or me and the seriousness of what was going on around her.

I was still crying, with my mouth clamped tight as if my lips had been glued with mucilage.

I could wobble the tooth with my tongue, and as far as I was concerned, I was ready to be taken in to old Dr. Murphy. Forget going to the dentist. I remembered the one and only time any of us ever went to a real dentist, it cost $3, and my sister Audrey who was the victim, said he nearly killed her.

I knew being driven almost 20 kilometres into Renfrew to have a wobbly tooth removed

by Dr. Murphy was out of the question, and I finally agreed to let Ronny look in my mouth.

“You won’t feel a thing,” Ronny said, as he neared my chair with the ball of string.

“For goodness sake, Mary, the tooth is just hanging there. Let Ronny do what he has to do so I can get the breakfast on the table. This commotion over a baby tooth is ridiculous,” Mother said as she banged the porridge pot on the Findlay Oval, stirring with a wooden spoon.

Making the most of the situation, and adding as much drama as he could muster, Ronny said he would go as far away as the parlour door to pull the string. “That way you won’t know when I am going to do it.”

As he neared my mouth, I told him I would put the string around the tooth, and he reluctantly handed me the ball made up of pieces we had retrieved from parcels bought at Briscoes General Store. All the time I was pressing my tongue against the offending tooth, and I could tell it had loosened considerably. And then just as Ronny headed for the parlour, unrolling the string as he went, I felt the tooth lying in the bottom of my mouth. No longer was it a loose tooth -- it was now a tooth that had come out on its own, with the help of my tongue.

I didn’t have the heart to tell Ronny it was all over. I had a good hold of the end of the string, and told Ronny I was ready. Ronny jerked the string like he was pulling turnips, and I let it fall to the floor and had the presence of mind to drop the tooth at my feet.

Ronny skated around the corner of the kitchen, saw the string and the tooth laying on the floor, and puffed up his chest like had just discovered America.

“Told you it wouldn’t hurt. You probably have other teeth that are ready to come out too.

Let me have a look.”

Well, there was no way I was going to let Ronny pull a perfectly good tooth out of my mouth. No sireee. Mother saved the day by telling us if we didn’t get to the table at once for breakfast, she was clearing the kitchen, and we would all have to wait for dinner at noon for our next mouthful of food.

Tea cakes with rhubarb filling featuring Earl Grey tea flavour Foodland Ontario Special to the News

Lifestyle - These pretty tea cakes feature a sweet-tart rhubarb filling and creamy rhubarb glaze that is complemented by the Earl Grey tea flavour. Preparation time: 20 minutes. Standing time: 45 minutes. Cooking time: 40 minutes.

Serves 12.

Ingredients Rhubarb Filling and Glaze * 625 ml (2-1/2 cups) chopped rhubarb * 50 ml (1/4 cup) granulated sugar * 150 ml (2/3 cup) icing sugar * 50 ml (1/4 cup) cream cheese, softened * 10 ml (2 tsp) milk (approx) Cakes * 3 Earl Grey tea bags * 75 ml (1/3 cup) boiling water * 50 ml (1/4 cup) milk * 125 ml (1/2 cup) butter, softened * 250 ml (1 cup) granulated sugar * 2 eggs * 5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla * 375 ml (1-1/2 cups) all-purpose flour * 5 ml (1 tsp) baking powder * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt Preparation Rhubarb filling: In a medium saucepan, bring the rhubarb and granulated sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or until it has thickened and the rhubarb breaks down, stirring occasionally. Let it cool. (Make ahead: store in an airtight container for up to one day or freeze for up to two weeks.)

Cakes: Grease and flour a 12-cup, non-stick muffin pan and set it aside.

Open the tea bags and pour the leaves into small bowl. Pour boiling water over the leaves and let stand for five minutes. Strain the leaves, reserving half. Add the milk to the tea and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until it’s light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Beat in the vanilla and the reserved tea leaves.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir this into the butter mixture alternately with the tea mixture, making three additions of dry ingredients and two of wet. Spoon the mixture into prepared muffin cups.

Bake in a 180 C (350 F) oven for about 20 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool in a pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Run knife around edges and remove the cakes from the pan. Place the cakes upside down on rack and let cool.

(Make ahead: store cakes in an airtight container for up to one day or freeze for up to two weeks.)

Rhubarb glaze: In a food processor or blender, puree 50 ml (1/4 cup) of the cooled, cooked rhubarb until it’s smooth. Add the icing sugar and cream cheese and puree until smooth, adding milk, 5 ml (1 tsp) at a time, until it’s pourable.

Trim the tops of the cakes to sit flat. Cut each cake in half. Spread the cut side of the bottom with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the rhubarb filling. Place remaining half, cut side down, on top. Place cakes upside down on plates. Pour glaze over top of each cake, letting excess drip down sides.

Let stand for 30 minutes for glaze to set.

Spaghetti dinner at United Church Special to the News

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.

Tickets will be available at the door or are available in advance by calling the church office at 613-836-4962.

Funds generated by this event will be used

for general church purposes.

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 in March 2009 and re-set in March 2010 when a restaurant in California filled a swimming pool with more than 13,780 pounds of spaghetti.

‘Why We Sing’ concert Special to the News

News - There have been annual spring concerts by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers over the years.

But this year, for the first time ever, the spring concert will feature not only the voices of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its junior choir the JJ’s but also the launch of the group’s first ever CD entitled “Why We Sing.”

Indeed, the concert itself is being called by the same name, “Why We Sing.”

This spring concert will take place on Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. and again on Sunday, May 4 at 2 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata.

This is where the Jubilee Singers group has been holding its

concerts in recent years.

Besides the concert, there will also be a silent auction held at each performance.

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and JJ’s include members from Stittsville, Richmond, Munster, Ashton, Kanata, Glen Cairn, Barrhaven and Carp. The groups are under the direction of Linda Crawford while Erna Poettcker is the accompanist.

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers is a community choir that was formed in 1977. The group has been busy with extra practices for much of this year while preparing for the CD recording sessions. Both the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the group’s associated junior choir the JJ’s were involved in the recording for this

inaugural CD. The CD title and its theme centre around why people sing in a community choir and also the unique experience that is being part of a community choir.

Members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers sing for the joy of making beautiful music not only for themselves but also for the enjoyment of others.

Members also enjoy coming together regularly with a group of like-minded people with the same goals with regard to music and singing.

MPP Jack MacLaren points to anger over hydro bills Derek Dunn derek.dunn@metroland.com

News â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rising hydro costs and unpredictable billing saw CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren joining others at a recent rally in front of the energy ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constituency office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pile of anger out there over hydro bills,â&#x20AC;? said the CarletonMississippi Mills MPP. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bills are higher and more erratic in rural areas where they have Hydro One, but bills are high everywhere.â&#x20AC;?

Ontario households can expect a 33 per cent increase in energy bills over the next three years, with prices predicted to continue rising over the next 20 years.

According to government calculations, the typical familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hydro bill

was $125 in 2013. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll jump to $178 by 2018. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an increase of $53 per month.

People earning minimum wage or on a fixed income will struggle to pay the additional $636 per year.

Hydro Ottawa, which covers Stittsville, Goulbourn, Kanata and most urban areas of the city of Ottawa , has few billings problems. It is Hydro One, responsible for rural areas such as West Carleton, where complaints are piling up.

MacLarenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office is fielding several calls a week from angry Hydro One customers. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the lady who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a bill in 19 months. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the man that got seven bills in one day; and seven more a week later.

A Dirleton homeowner got a $500 bill one month and $1,000 bill one year later for the same month. He

only had to pay the $500.

Others had their bills arbitrarily reduced after complaining, with no explanation for the initial or final amount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stories go on and on and on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone beyond anger â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we are going to get to a crisis,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look good for Hydro One. They are riddled with mistakes and chaos.â&#x20AC;?

Add in that 6,000 Hydro One executives and workers are paid in excess of $100,000, and it challenges the notion that greater compensation attracts individuals with greater competency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is zero confidence in Hydro Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to do this right,â&#x20AC;?

MacLaren said.

Some blame faulty metres, though that suggestion has been floated for

almost two years with no talk of fixing them.

MacLaren says â&#x20AC;&#x153;drastic actionâ&#x20AC;? is needed.

He thinks smaller independent hydro companies such as the one in Almonte could factor into the solution. Many have told him they provide the service more reliably for less the cost.

He also believes having five- or 10-year contracts in place would force quality control measures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now there is no incentive to do a good job. They have no competition.â&#x20AC;?

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) wants Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Green Energy Act dismantled. It has seen billions of dollars in subsidizes given to companies for the production of low-carbon electricity.

It also recommends eliminating the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit that sees a 10 per cent rebate on household energy bills. CTF calls it a cynical tool that masks the rising costs of green energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Former premier Dalton McGuintyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature Green Energy Act has led to mass losses in coal production, manufacturing, and countless other industries; has contributed to our colossal debt in Ontario; and has established Ontario as the highestpriced energy jurisdiction in Canada,â&#x20AC;? reads a CTF press release.

If you are upset about your hydro rates and want to do something about it, MPP Jack MacLaren advises filling out a complaint form with the Ontario Ombudsman who has begun taking action in response to such forms.

City may get out of suburban park building Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - The city of Ottawa is looking at getting out of the business of building new suburban parks and instead letting developers do the work.

That’s a proposal being looked at as part of an internal review of the city’s development charges bylaw. Developers already pay for the

parks to be built – it’s part of the charge for development, which covers the construction of new infrastructure and facilities needed to support the larger population when a new development goes in.

Now the city is questioning whether it makes more sense to let builders take the lead in planning and constructing parks in a schedule that better suits their plans for building new communities, mainly in the suburbs.

“Should the city continue to collect development charges for parks, or should the developers just build the parks themselves?” said John Moser, the city’s general manager of planning and growth management. “There has been a lot of interest from the development community to do that.”

Pierre Dufresne, president of the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association and vice president with Tartan Homes, agreed. He said the change would mean parks could be built sooner.

“When a home purchaser moves into a subdivision even in its earlier stages, the park will already be complete,” he said. “It creates a complete community to have it upfront.”

Shifting that responsibility to developers is something Moser and his staff are considering proposing to the city’s planning committee and council next month. While it’s just one part of a larger review of how the city collects fees to cover the cost of expanding services to accommodate development, it would be the most significant shift, Moser said.

“If that comes to fruition, it would be a big change in the bylaw,” he said.

Since the planning and construction of new parks in the urban core works differently than a master-planned new suburb, planning staff are considering keeping a fee for parks in the development charge for downtown construction.

The city has to wait until it collects enough money from development charges as different phases of homes in a new suburban community are built, so the park often isn’t put in until residents have been living there for some time.

Letting the developers do it would give them the flexibility to put in a park before residents move in, which is something builders prefer to do because it’s a good selling feature, Moser said. Many builders ask the city for “frontending agreements” to hand over more of the

money the developer will eventually owe to the city upfront so the park can be built sooner.

“I think there is almost an expectation now as more (developers) do that, that the parks will be ready,” Moser said.

But that will also mean the city wouldn’t know which new parks were going to be built each year. Right now, there is a list of upcoming park projects, but that responsibility could be shifted over to the development industry if the changes are recommended and approved.

Dufresne said there has also been discussion about putting a deadline in the developers’ community planning documents approved by the city to ensure the parks are completed in a timely manner – similar to what’s done now for sidewalks and utilities.

The shift wouldn’t necessarily mean layoffs or a reduced need for city parks planners, Moser said. Those staffers would still be needed, but their work would be done at the beginning of the process when developers work with the city to put together a master plan for their communities.

“We would be involved as it evolves through the design, working with the industry,” Moser said. “Whatever is built has to be built to city standards.

“We would see the same quality of parks.

They’ll just be built on a more timely basis,” Moser said. “I think the only thing that will change is: ‘Gee, it’s done.’ It’s quicker.”

Dufresne said the developers might be able to find more efficient ways to build parks.

“There might be some more flexibility with the things we’d put into the park,” he said. “We don’t have the same rules of engagement as the city.”

A background study on the revisions to the development charges bylaw will be posted on ottawa.ca a few weeks before it will be considered at a May planning committee meeting.

Rideau Valley Health Care Centre Jennifer McIntosh jennifer.mcintosh@metroland.com

News - Dr. Horace Yu, an urgent care physician at the Rideau Valley Health Care Centre, said he enjoys being in the community helping out.

The work Dr. Yu and the other urgent care staff do at the health centre -- a one-of-akind urgent care satellite of the Kemptville District Memorial Hospital -- keeps patients out of the hospital and lowers emergency room wait times.

The urgent care facility casts broken bones, treats dislocated shoulders, cuts, sprains, headaches, bronchitis, infections, minor trauma -- in short, all the sort of maladies that can clog up emergency rooms.

Ruxandra Staicu, for example, had a fall and was on her way to the hospital when she remembered about the urgent care centre. Within two hours she was on her way home with a cast on her broken wrist.

Staicu’s example is a common story, said Dr. Yu, who often treats local high school kids from Barrhaven for sports related injuries. Before, the closest option would have been the Queensway Carleton Hospital.

64 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, April 17, 2014

While the health centre is located in the heart of Barrhaven on Berrigan Drive, the urgent care centre and family physicians serve patients from surrounding areas like Manotick, Stittsville and Kanata.

“It’s a very valuable resource,” said Barrhaven Coun.

Jan Harder, who added there was a shortage of family doctors in the area.

In January, the centre had served its 26,000th patient.

And it’s not only urgent care that makes it such a great resource. Fred Casarramona, manager of the health centre, said the family health organization side will soon boast a full roster of 10 to 12 family physicians. Aside from the family physicians, the centre also boasts specialists in obstetrics, gynecology, endocrinology, hip and knee construction, orthopaedics and arthroscopy Casarramona said with diagnostic and imaging equipment -- like ultrasound and X-ray -- onsite, the collaborative nature of the health centre helps to reduce wait times when surgery is needed.

Rideau Valley has 24 exam rooms, several doctors’ offices and well-appointed treatment rooms.

Dr. Robert Bowan was the first family physician to make the decision to relocate to the Barrhaven facility. He was excited to take his place in the community.

“I am extremely happy and proud to be able to work in this incredible and beautiful medical facility,” he said when the centre opened. “Those who know me or have met me recently know my excitement level is running high. It seems like I have been waiting for such a wonderful opportunity and facility for a long time.”

The 1,394-square-metre facility is a satellite of the Kemptville District Hospital, which used its financial leverage to build it in response to an obvious need in the outlying communities of its service area.

The hospital serves Barrhaven, Manotick and other rural Ottawa south neighbourhoods whose population is steadily increasing. Colin Goodfellow, CEO of the Kemptville hospital, said a new hospital would have cost in the neighbourhood of $80 million and would have taken many years in planning and fundraising. The Rideau Valley Health Centre was open with two years of its inception.
