EMC news - The Stittsville Main Street of the future may see six storey buildings lining the street. This was the possibility that Charles Lanktree, the lead planner on the Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan (CDP), indicated at a CDP information session on Thursday, April 11 in Stittsville, referring to the city’s Official Plan which for most so-called traditional main streets in the city allows buildings up to six storeys. Stittsville Main Street is regarded as one of these traditional main streets. He acknowledged that at an earlier visioning workshop in this CDP process, a majority of the 35 in attendance had voted for a three storey limit for buildings along Stittsville Main Street. But he said that the current three storey limitation is, in his view, “really holding the community back” in terms of Stittsville Main Street becoming a viable traditional main street that serves the surrounding community. He said that there is a need for more density and more mixed uses along the street, something that the current three storey limit is restricting, impeding the opportunity to both live and shop along the street. Mr. Lanktree said that the CDP process is meant to be a dialogue and the outcome will not be just what current residents want. He said that city planners listened at the earlier workshop but said that the three storey limit that was voted on is not likely to happen. He pleaded that there was going to have to be a balance found with regard to the future of Stittsville Main Street. “Obviously it can’t remain the way it is,” he said, noting that everyone has to drive to the north end to shop right now. He said that one advantage of Stittsville Main Street is that it can develop as a mixed use environment where people will be able to live, shop, work and enjoy green space i.e. a complete community where people will be able to live their whole lives.

Pedestrian links from neighbourhoods to Stittsville Main Street Continued from page 1

this is not the kind of behaviour that is being envisioned for much of Stittsville Main Street in the future. Rather, the envisioned development will encourage people to walk rather than get in a car and drive to the retail at the north end of the street. He said this concept is “a different way of thinking about your community and a different way of living your community.” Indeed, in his opening remarks at the information session, city of Ottawa Stittsville ward

councillor Shad Qadri who was instrumental in initiating the Stittsville Main Street CDP said The new buildings would have retail shops that the purpose of the CDP is to give the street at grade with residential units on the floors “a future,” making it more vibrant and more above. liveable.

But might want to sell their homes but want to remain in the community. Mr. Lanktree noted that there is quite a variety of uses along Stittsville Main Street today but that they are pretty spread out. He said that the CDP plan is going to encourage more mixing of uses such as commercial and residential on the same site. He pointed out that one existing problem that is not allowing Stittsville Main Street to serve its surrounding communities as well as it could is the fact that it is generally difficult to get from surrounding residential areas to Stittsville Main Street, something that usually entails following the same route as an automobile would travel. Mr. Lanktree said that the CDP will want to encourage and provide as much as possible for pedestrian links from Stittsville Main Street to surrounding neighbourhoods. This might involve the purchase of land or provision for easements to allow for pedestrian access from the neighbourhoods to Stittsville Main Street. He said that one advantage to Stittsville JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND Main Street is the fact that most of the properDoug Robertson, left, who is secretary of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), chats ties along it are deep, in the range of 90 metres with city of Ottawa planner Sally Coutts, right centre, at one of the display boards on which is much deeper than in most similar traexhibit at the public information session about the Stittsville Main Street Community ditional main street situations. This will allow Design Plan which was held in Stittsville on Thursday evening, April 11. a six storey building to be built at the street’s

edge with plenty of space behind it for parking and also lower building heights closer to the abutting residential developments. New development on these deep lots would also provide for the opportunity for planting trees and otherwise buffering the development from the adjacent residential neighbourhood. He said that these deep lots along Stittsville Main Street provides lots of opportunity for development while also providing for appropriate transition or separation between the higher buildings along the street and the surrounding residential neighbourhoods. Mr. Lanktree said that in the so-called “heritage area” just south of Abbott Street, where the road allowance narrows to about 15 metres as compared to 21 and more metres elsewhere along the street, buildings perhaps should not be six storeys but rather four storeys, making them as tall as the road allowance is wide in that spot. He said that cycling lanes and wider sidewalks would be possible along all parts of Stittsville Main Street except perhaps in this downtown “heritage” area where the road allowance narrows to 15 metres. Over the next few months, city of Ottawa planning staff will be drawing up its proposals for land use and zoning as per a Community Design Plan, assessing input received from the public. There will be another public open house, probably in late September or October, where these proposals will be discussed with input welcomed. This will lead to the finalization of the proposals, with the goal that the Stittsville Main Street CDP will be presented to Ottawa city council for approval sometime in early 2014.

$580 for Parkinson Society john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - How sweet it is! This phrase, popularized in the 1960’s by TV comedian Jackie Gleason, could apply to last Sunday’s “Pies for Parkinson’s” fundraiser at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (former Stittsville Villa) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. The pie sale not only offered a selection of mouth-watering and tasty pies for sale, a sweet thing in itself, but also raised the sweet amount of $580 to help the Parkinson Society with its work. As Jackie Gleason might say, “How sweet it is!” The pies, which sold for a $20 donation, included lemon, apple, raisin, blueberry, pecan, butterscotch, rhubarb/strawberry and even a Key lime pie

made by the Stittsville Seniors Community’s executive director Lisa Cowan. Such a pie, made from Key lime juice, egg yolks and sweetened condensed milk, is the official pie of the State of Florida, originally emanating from Key West. For those who did not wish to purchase a pie, there were also collections of tarts as well – almond meringue tartlets, raisin butter tarts, lemon tarts and more. The pies and tarts were all made either by Stittsville Seniors Community staff, by some of the Community’s apartment residents and by family members of Community residents such as the sisterin-law of Rino Casagrande, a resident who is battling Parkinson’s. Rino says that medication is currently helping to keep his Parkinson’s under control

but he says that he finds that it helps if he can keep occupied and busy. And he is someone who does a pretty good job of this. He was an avid tennis player from the time of his youth and played until recently when he had to give it up due to a hip injury and his Parkinson’s medication. But he still can be found playing virtual games on a Wii home video game. Rino also attends some Ottawa Senators games and, although he admits to being a Montreal Canadiens fan, he does have a Sens hat and he says that if the Sens are playing any other team than Montreal, he roots for the Sens. So, he has almost come over to the right side. This “Pies for Parkinson’s” fundraiser is another fundraiser held at the Stittsville Seniors Community as part of its “Revera Giving – Community in Action” initiative which has also seen cookie and cake sales held to raise funds for designated organizations. The funds raised by this “Pies for Parkinson’s” sale are being donated to local chapters of Parkinson Society Canada. This is the national voice of Canadians living with Parkinson’s, a neurodegenerative disease. The Society provides education, support and advocacy on behalf of the over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson’s daily. It also funds innovative research that will eventually, it is hoped, lead to a cure. Currently there is no cure although a person can live with Parkinson’s for years as symptoms can be treated with medication. Symptoms of Parkinson’s include tremor, slowness and stiffness, impaired balance and rigidity of the muscles. Symptoms can also include fatigue, soft speech, problems with handwriting, stooped posture, constipation and sleep disturbances.

Christopher Roy’s hockey clinics raise $1,045 for Kidsport John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Kidsport, the Ottawa charity that helps youngsters in need be involved in sports, now has more funds for its work thanks to the efforts of 11 year old Christopher Roy of Stittsville. Following four one-hour on-ice sessions of shooting and scoring clinics for youngsters from six to eight years of age at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex last Saturday, Christopher was able to donate $1,045 to Kidsport – the proceeds from this initiative which he undertook as part of a School Board-wide extracur-

ricular leadership program with the theme “de l’idee a l’action� (“from the idea to the action�). A grade six student at Ecole JeanPaul II in Stittsville, Christopher combined hockey with community in developing the idea of organizing these on-ice scoring and shooting clinics, with the funds to go to Kidsport, specifically aimed at helping young hockey players in the Ottawa area who need financial assistance to pay their hockey registration fees. Funds were generated by accepting donations of $20 or more from participants in these clinics. With the help of his mother, Chantal Pelletier, four hours of ice time at the GRC was

donated by the city for the project. Christopher also spent a lot of time contacting teams and coaches to promote the clinics. In the end, about 50 young players took part in the clinics which involved four different on-ice stations where players could work on their shooting and scoring skills, wrapping up with a shootout-type exercise against a goalie. Christopher, helped by a number of his teammates from his team, the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Minor Peewees, as well as by his father who helped in planning the on-ice sessions, was one of the on-ice instructors, equipped with a whistle to control the on-ice action while helping the younger players

with their skill development. Each one-hour on-ice session saw one player awarded with a jersey for being the most improved player during the session. This project is not over yet for Christopher. He will be presenting a

full account of the project at a May 1st windup gathering which will involve kiosk presentations by all of the students involved in this “de l’idee a l’action� initiative including Christopher.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is a youth leadership and community and civics service program that was founded in 1956 by His Royal Highness Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh to help young people develop a sense of responsibility to themselves and their communities. The award is based on the concept of individual challenge consisting of voluntary activities which encourage personal discovery, growth, self-reliance, perseverance and responsibility. Youth aged 14 to 25 can participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program, taking the opportunity to set goals and achieve results in a fun and challenging way. This can involve either new activities or the pursuit of current interests. There are three levels of the Duke of Edinburgh Award program – bronze, silver and gold. For the Bronze Award, participants must select activities in four different areas – service (volunteer service to individuals or the community), skills (developing practical and social skills and personal interests), adventurous journey (planning, training for and completing an adventurous journey) and physical recreation (improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness). The participant must engage a knowledgeable assessor for each area of activity.

The Duke of Edinburgh Award program is currently in 130 countries around the world, including Canada where it was introduced in 1963. A total of seven million young people around the world have achieved the award since its inception. It usually takes a participant a minimum of six months to complete the bronze level of the Duke of Edinburgh Award program. The silver and gold levels demand even more time and commitment from participants, with a participant taking at least six months to complete the silver level of the program if the bronze level has already been completed. The gold level will take at least 12 months to complete following achievement of the silver award.

Australian film John Curry

EMC news – Australia is going to be front and centre in more ways than one at the showing of the Australian film “The Sapphires� at the Empire Theatre at Kanata Centrum in Kanata on Thursday, April 25 at 7 p.m. This film is the last one in the International Film Series presented by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville that began last January and is running through April on one Thursday evening each month at the Empire Theatre at Kanata Centrum in Kanata. Already shown in the series have been “The Intouchables,� a French film that was nominated for nine Cesars which is France’s version of the Academy Awards, “Stories We Tell,� a film directed by Canadian award winning actress and film maker Sarah Polley about herself and her own family and “A Royal Affair,� a Danish film with English subtitles dealing with an historical drama set in 18th century Denmark at the court of the mentally ill King Christian VII of Denmark and a romance that developed between the Queen and the Royal physician. This film was shown at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. This Australian film “The Sapphires� is a musical comedy about an aboriginal female musical group that entertained American troops during the Vietnam war. That’s one reason why Australia will be the focus at the showing on Thursday, April 25. But in addition, the Australian High Commission in Ottawa will be represented at this showing by Lucas Robson, Third Secretary (Policy) at the Australian High Commission. He will be speaking at the event, ei-

ther before or after the showing of the film, as well as presenting a door prize to a lucky winner. This is one of three door prizes that will be awarded that evening, with Your Garden Coach and Digby’s Fish and Chips also providing door prizes, along with the Australian High Commission. What makes this a most significant event in terms of Australia is that the film is being shown on Thursday, April 25 which is Anzac Day, a very special day on the Australian calendar. This Anzac (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day marks the anniversary of the day in World War One when Australian and New Zealand troops arrived on Turkey’s Gallipoli Peninsula on April 25, 1915. Anzac Day is observed annually as a national day of remembrance in both Australia and New Zealand, marking the bravery of the soldiers who fought for the Gallipoli Peninsula to try to open the way to the Black Sea for Allied navies. The goal was to capture Constantinople with a bold strike but the campaign dragged on for eight months. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Anzac Day on April 25 became the day on which Australians remember the sacrifice of those who have died in war. Passes were sold for this film series, all four films. But after the first film, passes were then pro-rated for the number of films left in the series. For more information about this International Film Series, please call Valerie Wright, a member of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, at 613-836-9125 or send an email to filmseries@stittsville rotary.com. The Rotary Club of Ottawa-Stittsville is sponsoring this International Film Series in partnership with Film Circuit, the film outreach arm of the Toronto International Film Series.

Group back - with a difference at Gaia Java’s music evening john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Patrick Smith jazz group was back at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville for last Friday’s music evening but the group was back with a difference. No, it was still the same cool, smooth array of jazz styles that had flowed from the group before but the music now reaches new heights thanks to the addition of drummer Keagan Eskritt. So, last Friday it was the Patrick Smith Quartet, not the Patrick Smith Trio as before, that performed, but again to a full house at the coffee shop. The quartet includes Patrick Smith on saxophone, Rob Wanell on guitar and Ben Heard on bass as well as Keagan Eskritt on the drums. They are all talented up-and-coming high school musicians who not only play together but are also involved with other musical groups around the city. Patrick Smith himself is a grade 12 student at Bell High School who is

planning to pursue a university education in jazz performance next year. He currently plays in various groups in the city including the Nepean All City Jazz Band and the Capital Youth Jazz Orchestra. Rob Wanel, on guitar, is a grade 11 student at Nepean High School who is involved with a number of local jazz groups. He plans to pursue a music degree after high school graduation. Ben Heard, on bass, is a grade 10 student at Canterbury High School. He also plays in other groups including the Nepean All City Jazz Band. The group’s new member, Keagan Eskritt, on the drums, is in grade 11 at Nepean High School. His goal is to study music in university.

Goulbourn is tops in city in single detached housing EMC news - Goulbourn is leading all areas of the city of Ottawa in new single detached housing starts in the first three months of 2013. A total of 78 new single detached homes were started in Goulbourn in the first three months of the year, more than any other Census Metropolitan Area of the city which is what the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation uses as its geographical zones for the purposes of comparing housing starts in different parts of the city. Goulbourn’s 78 new single detached housing starts as of the first three months of 2013 are 21 more than Kanata’s 57 and 49 more than Nepean’s 29. In fact, Goulbourn’s 78 single detached housing starts are exactly one-third of the total number of single detached housing starts in the whole city of Ottawa in the first three months of 2013. In addition, Goulbourn saw 14 multiple housing starts in the first three months of 2013. While up substantially from the two multiple housing starts in the same period of 2012, Goulbourn’s multiple housing starts number if well behind all other growth areas in the city. The area of Old Ottawa, Vanier and Rockcliffe had 543 multiple housing starts in the first three months of 2013. Nepean had 70 multiple housing starts in the first three months of the year while Kanata had 67 multiple housing starts. In total, in the first three months of 2013, Goulbourn had 92 new housing starts – 78 single detached starts and 14 multiple housing starts. This compares with 62 new hous-

As for the month of March 2013 itself, Goulbourn had 36 single detached housing starts and 14 multiple housing starts for a total of 50 new housing starts. This compares with only nine new housing starts, all single detached starts, in the month of March 2012. New housing starts in Goulbourn include those in Stittsville as well as Richmond and the rural area of the former township.

No mass exodus in sight

P

hil McNeely has his heart in the right place. The Ottawa-OrlÊans MPP has been a vocal proponent for his riding’s constituents over the past year, doing what he feels is best to protect the area’s economic, social and cultural identity. But, the OrlÊans politician was left floating in the political deep end with no life preserver in sight when he sent a letter to the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages attempting to stop the move of Department of National Defence staff and military personnel to the Nortel Campus in the city’s west end. McNeely seems to think the relocation will result in a mass exodus of the OrlÊans francophone community. Granted, any DND employee who happens to own a house in OrlÊans won’t be happy with a longer commute time. But who would be? It’s a little unreasonable to ask the federal government or its agencies not to relocate its staff or set up shop in a new part of town because it will result in a longer car or bus ride for its employees. No one is forcing DND staff to move – they can choose to maintain homes in OrlÊans or move to a residence a little closer to the Nortel Campus. This is an economic reality that those of us who

work for private businesses face. Also, there is no way for McNeely to know how many of the affected employees currently live in OrlÊans, or where they would prefer to live. As for McNeely’s suggestion that the relocation threatens the francophone character of the OrlÊans community, that is another red herring that distracts residents from the real problem. The MPP, and his fellow east-end politicians, should focus their efforts on convincing businesses to locate in OrlÊans, instead of relying on strictly remaining a bedroom community for federal civil servants. After the economic downturn of 2008 and the subsequent budgetary struggles faced by the provincial and federal governments, many Ontarians are thankful simply to have jobs, never mind quibbling over having to increase commute times or change living arrangements to keep them. Pitting one end of the city against the other and attempting to beat the federal government over the head with the preserve-francophone-rights stick is counterproductive and does nothing to foster job growth in the Ottawa region. OrlÊans is a vibrant community with wonderful parks, recreation, transit – a great place to live, and play and do business.

COLUMN

Time to get ready for some geezer cinema

I

s it OK to use the word “geezer?� Perhaps it is if you are one. Somehow it seems more human than “senior� and way nicer than “elderly.� It also suggests a sense of humour which, heaven knows comes in handy. If it’s all right to continue, this column is going to be about geezer flicks – in other words, movies featuring old people. There is a small trend in this direction. Recently several movies featuring older actors have hit local screens, to the considerable appreciation of older audiences. There was Quartet, about a group of retired British musicians living in a musicians’ retirement home. People like Maggie Smith were in it, along with Tom Courtenay and Billy Connolly. Some of the jokes were about aging, but a lot of the humour came from the notion that retired people have the preoccupations they did when they were younger, the same fears and jealousies. Then there was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, with Maggie Smith again, along with Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson and other great British actors, living in a run-down hotel in India, each seeking something or seeking escape from something else. Both movies were funny, showing that you don’t stop laughing when you hit a certain age,

Funny Town and both had happy endings of a sort, showing that happy endings aren’t only for the young and pretty. The ending was less happy in Away From Her, Sarah Polley’s 2006 film featuring Julie Christie as a victim of early Alzheimer’s and Gordon Pinsent as her not-entirely-noble husband. Although it sometimes seems that way, smart movies about older people are not the exclusive preserve of the British. What is encouraging about such movies is the indication their mere presence makes that geezers might actually constitute a significant market – in other words, that they cannot be ignored while the entertainment industry pursues teenagers. This shouldn’t be a surprise, when you think about it. That huge baby boom generaPublished weekly by:

tion has been marching steadily onward into old age and the front end of it is well into retirement now. More is to come. That may be a mixed blessing – the Eagles on the muzak at the retirement home – but at least it may mean better movies. For one thing, we don’t have to watch people obsessed with losing their virginity. When the flood of geezer flicks arrives, moviegoers will have to be aware of the proper way of viewing them. This involves going to your local multiplex in mid-afternoon and mid-week when the parking lot is almost empty and there are no lineups for popcorn because everyone else in the world is either at work or in school. Having made the purchase, you enter the theatre early – because geezers are always early – and look around at the 14 other people who are in it. They are all your age. There is no need to greet your fellow moviegoers, but you will be silently grateful for them because you know that none of them will be playing with their phones during the show, the ability to manipulate phones not being a highly-prized skill among this generation. They will also have not the slightest idea of the answers to the movie trivia questions that flash on the screen, none of which involve Gary

Cooper or Debra Paget. After watching previews of movies featuring explosions and making a mental note not to see them, the geezers will enjoy the movie, nod politely to each other on the way out and get home before the rush-hour traffic. That’s the way it is now but there’s always the risk that the pleasant ritual could be put at risk by the increasing popularity of geezer flicks and the increasing population of geezers. Already there are reports of crowds of more than 14 at matinees of Quartet. But geezers have met worse challenges in their long lives.

Top notch concert is here John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - This Saturday’s firstever spring concert for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus is going to be well worth attending. Just ask someone who should know as she is closer to the situation than almost anyone, save perhaps for Chorus director Robert Dueck. And that is Bonnie MacDiarmid who is the group’s accompanist. “It’s going to be a top notch concert,” she says about the event which will be taking place at St. Paul’s Anglican Church on Young Road off Hazeldean Road in Kanata, beginning at 7 p.m. this Saturday, April 20. She notes that the Chorus sports a good balance of ladies voices for the music that the group performs, noting that the concert will be filled with “beautiful, beautiful” music. She says that there will be some traditional songs combined with some contemporary pieces that some may never have heard before but which she says are “just spectacular.” Add in a flute trio, a classical flute soloist and guest instrumentalists including trumpet player Steve Gibb of Munster and percussionist Ann Reilly and you have what is shaping up as a musical night to remember. Tickets for this concert are available in advance at $12 each at the Benjamin Moore shop at the Shops

of Main Street plaza (where Tim Hortons is located) as well as at Domenic’s Music Store on Hazeldean Road and Kanata Cleaners on Teron Road, both in Kanata. Tickets at the door will cost $15 each. There is free admission for children aged 16 and under. For accompanist Bonnie MacDiarmid, this is just the first of two spring concerts, as she is also the accompanist now for the Goulbourn Male Chorus which is presenting its spring concert “My Heart’s in the Song” on Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. Bonnie says that this Goulbourn Male Chorus concert is going to be an exceptional experience as well. There will be some familiar songs as well as some resounding pieces well suited to a male chorus. She says that this Goulbourn Male Chorus concert is going to be another top notch evening of music as well. As for herself, rehearsing and preparing for two concerts, one following closely after the other, is not something that she finds difficult. In fact, she rather likes that the two concerts are happening close together as it allows her to keep her musical focus. Her husband Rory sings with the Goulbourn Male Chorus and so she knows its music well since she practices with him. Indeed, it was through her husband

Rory that Goulbourn Male Chorus director Robert Dueck learned that she was an experienced accompanist and he asked her to be the accompanist for the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus when it was formed. Then, when Male Chorus accompanist Barbara Creech relocated, Bonnie took over as the Male Chorus accompanist as well. But being an accompanist and being involved with music is nothing new for Bonnie. She has been involved with music since she was a youngster. She got her first introduction to being an accompanist when she attended the University of Toronto where she accompanied vocalists and soloists and played with a dance band. She went on to teach music at a North Bay school and then after her marriage, she was a popular accompanist, playing with choirs and for musical productions. She has also been a church organist, something that she says is good training for an accompanist since it helps the accompanist realize that he or she is there to accompany the singers and not be a solo performer. Bonnie enjoys being an accompanist. “It’s actually quite fun,” she says, while pointing out that an accompanist has to be a follower, letting the singer or singers lead him or her and even breathing where the singers take a breath so that everything stays

Bonnie MacDiarmid is the accompanist for both the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus and the Goulbourn Male Chorus. together and the accompanist does not get ahead of the singers. Her long experience accompanying choirs and familiarity with a lot of music helps her know where these breathing pauses will take place. Bonnie says that it is important that an accompanist know the music, because a mistake can throw a singer off. An accompanist must also be prepared to adjust to different key-

boards found at various performance locations. It may be a digital grand piano or an electronic keyboard or a piano whose sound does not resonate well. Even singers have to adjust to the different sounds of these different keyboards. “We all have to adjust,” Bonnie says, referring not only to herself and the singers but even to music director Robert Dueck.

Quilts for cancer patients Sydney Steele Special to the News

EMC news – Quilting to help fight cancer – that’s what the Dragonfly Quilters of Stittsville do. Ladies from across the area meet at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville on the second Wednesday of every month to make quilts for cancer patients. And each quilt is marked with a small piece of a dragonfly textile – hence the name. “Ladies come from all over to help us quilt,” says Audrey Blackburn who is the current coordinator for the group. It all began back in 2003 with only two ladies involved but over the years the group has grown to 25 members. It gains most of its members through word of mouth or by existing members bringing along friends to the quilting sessions. The group may meet only once a month to pin the quilts but in between the meetings, members remain hard at work, putting the finishing touches on the quilts. “There are jobs for everyone,” says Ms. Blackburn. “You can make bags, you can quilt, or you can even help pin the quilts.” On average, this Dragonfly Quilters group

makes 12 to 14 quilts a month. The record is 15 quilts. Most of the quilts are the result of personal requests, either by someone who wants one for a family member or for a friend. “A lot of the times the people who receive the quilts send us thank you cards,” says Marlyn Powell, a member of the group. “They really appreciate the quilts.” But the ladies in this group get perhaps just as much out of their efforts as those who receive the quilts. “I love this group of ladies and it is a really great cause,” explains Mary Brownlee who is one of the original members of the group. Dragonfly Quilters functions mostly thanks to donations from members of the community. A donation of $50, for instance, covers the cost of making a quilt. Donations of 100 percent cotton material for the quilting are also appreciated. SYDNEY STEELE To donate or to volunteer with the group, please email betty@victoriasquiltscanada.com Barbara Malmberg, left, and Mary Brownlee, right, hold up one of the quilts which the Dragonfly Quilters group which meets monthly in Stittsville makes for cancer patients. or call 613-843-9212.

Three versions of Robin Hood tale, audience cue cards, music and more John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

King Richard, played by Evan Marr, sits on his throne, listening to the stories about Robin Hood in the play “The Trials of Robin Hood� which was presented at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville from Wednesday, April 10 to Saturday, April 13 as surrounding the throne are, from left, the Abbess, kneeling, played by Morgan O’Grady; the King’s guard, played by Casandra Dana; King Richard, played by Evan Marr; Janice the Herald, played by Emily Pilon, who is sitting beside the King; the King’s guard, played by Grace Simonds; the King’s guard, played by Guillaume Boucher; Edward of Locksley, played by Mitchell Kedrosky; Esmerelda of Locksley, played by Brenna MacInnis; Robin Hood, played by Nick Maillet; and Maid Marian, played by Emma Hickey.

EMC news - You might think that you know the folklore tale of Robin Hood. But do you really? Anyone who witnessed “The Trials of Robin Hood� production at Sacred Heart Catholic High School which ran from Wednesday, April 10 through Saturday, April 13 has reason to start wondering after hearing three different versions of the tale – one from the view of a “stout and lusty� Robin himself, one from a romantically inclined Maid Marian, and one from a compassionate, eco-friendly Sheriff of Nottingham. And this was not a traditional production – there were audience cue cards such as “Cheer,� “Boo,� and “Gasp.� And at certain points, music blared out over the public address system – music appropriate to the moment in the play but not of the Robin Hood-era. So, when Robin Hood is first smitten with Maid Marian, a lyric “Then I saw her face,� from The Monkees chart topping 1967 hit “I’m a Believer� was heard. And this contemporary music interruption continued at certain points throughout the production. There was “Where, Oh where could my baby be,� lyrics from a song by legendary Del Shannon and also Tommy Roe and by American rock band Pearl Jam, sung at one point during Maid Marion’s version of the story. And who could miss “Going to the Chapel,� a melody made famous by American female vocal group The Crystals in the early 1960’s, played

prior to a Robin Hood/Maid Marian wedding. And when these musical interludes, as it were, happened, King Richard, presiding over the storytelling, at times would start dancing. He was one groovy king! But there was more. There were nuns who knew the martial art of kung fu. There were female “Merry Men.� There was the hauntingly evil laugh of Prince John. All in all, a tale of Robin Hood i.e. three tales unlike anything seen or heard before. This comedy play “The Trials of Robin Hood� had a cast of about 50 students, with more working behind the scenes. Cast members included Nick Maillet as Robin Hood; Emma Hickey as Maid Marian; Evan Marr as King Richard; Kyle Curry as Prince John; and Joel Curry as Sheriff of Nottingham. Others in the cast were Holly Whitney as Friar Tuck; Breton Moorhouse as Little John; Emily Pilon as Janice; Joseph Winn as Herald; Ted Beingessner as Guy of Gisborne; Laurier Boucher as Alan A’Dale; Evelyn Pageau as Will Scarlett; Ruby Odendaal as Nathaniel Piper; Bridget Galloway as William Church; Devon Kedrosky as Daniel Boyle; Taylor Hutchings as Much the Miller’s Son; Sasha Newar as Silla Scarlett; Krista Weatherall as Nancy; Jordana Tierney as Billy; Lana Souaid as Danni; Madi Middleton as Madge the Miller’s Daughter; and Guillaume Boucher as Bart Common.

Opening night audience enjoys ‘hideout’ with goodies Special to the News

EMC news - Those attending the opening night of “The Trails of Robin Hood” at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Wednesday, April 10 got a special treat – they got to visit and enjoy refreshments in the hideout of Robin Hood and his Merry Men (And Women) during the intermission. Well, perhaps it wasn’t a location deep in Sherwood Forest but it was a special

place, set up in the foyer of the school. In fact, it was a pretty elaborate place for a hideout location deep in Sherwood Forest. Tables and chairs, resplendent with white tablecloths and chair coverings, were arranged in a circular fashion in this clearing in the forest, with lots of goodies like sandwiches, gingerbread men, cookies, tarts and veggie treats laid out on a buffet-style table, all there to be enjoyed by these

opening night supporters. But it was not just all about food. Costumed characters from the play, ranging from soldiers with their shields to Edgar the Archer shooting the King’s deer to the Merry Men and Merry Women to even King Richard himself, moved around through this Robin Hood “hideout,” engaging audience members and making this “hideout” experience memorable for these opening night patrons.

We took that to court ... and won. The Federal Court ruled in February 2013 that employers must try to accommodate workers with childcare obligations.

EMC news - While the action on stage in “The Trials of Robin Hood” at Sacred Heart Catholic High School was ongoing, with a cast of 50 taking part, the behind the scenes action was similarly intense, especially in the two hours leading up to curtain time, largely because of the size of the cast, all requiring makeup and hair attention. For grade 12 student Trish Young, this was her second production at Sacred Heart in which she was working as one of the makeup crew. She was involved with the makeup with the school production last year, being part of the makeup team which won a Cappies Award for best makeup in a production. Cappies is a high school program that reviews high school productions and honours the best in various categories at an Oscar-like gala at the National Arts Centre before the end of the school year. Trish returned to help out with makeup for this year’s school production, partly because of her love of theatre and partly because of the task itself. “I really love makeup,” she says.

Good and bad about Villagefest

Behind the scenes at play Continued from page 18

She said that in last year’s production, there was a lot smaller cast but the makeup was more intense. This year the play involved a lot more cast members but the makeup was less intense in her view. And while Trish and the makeup team were transforming their fellow students into Robin Hood actors with their makeup, other actors were getting their hair attended to by a four-member hair crew. Jessica Hunt, a grade 12 student, who also did some work on the sets for the production, wanted to get involved with the play since this is her last year at Sacred Heart and she had not been involved in previous productions. She found it enjoyable although she admits that it was busy and “kind of stressful” trying to get the hair done for the large cast in the limited time. The hair team uses natural wax and hair spray to keep the hair straight and stuck together for the production. Hair also had to be braided in some cases and otherwise prepared for the assorted roles. Members of the makeup team for “The Trials of Robin Hood” were Rudy Odendaal, Rylee Boyce, Trish Young, Jana MacDonald, Sasha Newar, Casandra Woodward, Christina Van Leeuwen, Lauren Hutchings, Amy VanWell and Emily Bureau. Doing the hair for the production were Mackenzie Backs, Jessica Hunt, Marys-

sa Leveque and Kellsie Alexander. The makeup and hair teams were only some of those involved in the behind-the-scenes and production tasks for “The Trails of Robin Hood” presented at Sacred Heart from Wednesday, April 10 to Saturday, April 13. Teacher Ms. Marina Westbrook was the director. Others included Kellsie Alexander as production assistant; Jana MacDonald as green room host; Taylor Hutchings and Sierra Duffey in marketing and publicity (Taylor Hutchings for posters and map design and program, Sierra Duffey for photography and Sierra Duffey and Taylor Hutchings together for ticket design and website. Choreography was overseen by Emma Hickey, Evelyn Pageau and Taylor Hutchings while Sam Gauthier served as stage manager. Lighting was done by Andrew McDonald, Evan Bunkis and Ryan MacNeil with Ryan also responsible for the sound. Actors who served on stage as soldiers and heralds served as the stage crew. Costumes were done by Sasha Newar, Casandra Woodward, Ruby Odendaal and Michelle Dingley. Set construction was done by Guillaume Boucher, Emma Hickey, Nick Maillet and Kiell Barrie while set painting was done by Liz Aragona, Elli Seregelyi, Kristyn Cooke, Kiana Sprague, Mackenzie Backs, Jessica Hunt and Kristin Hribar. Props were the responsibility of Holly Whitney, Evelyn Pageau and Kellsie Alexander.

Behind the scenes roles are vital in a production like “The Trials of Robin Hood” which was presented at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. This includes costumes as evidenced by these two soldiers with their shields and medieval uniforms as portrayed by students Guillaume Boucher, left, and Martina Stoeckli, right.

EMC news - There’s good news and there’s bad news about this year’s Canada Day celebrations in Stittsville. On the downside is the fact that the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which organizes the celebrations missed the due date for the submission of an application to the city of Ottawa for a grant to help with expenses related to the Canada Day celebrations. This means that the SVA will not be receiving a grant for $3,000 for the event like it did last year. But, on the good side of things, radio station 98.5 The Jewel has come forward and offered the SVA free advertizing for the event that is worth $3,200. For the radio station to come forward and provide such an amount of free advertizing for the Canada Day celebration is “pretty amazing,” said Theresa Qadri who is an SVA director and is chairing the SVA’s Canada Day organizing committee this year. She made the comment when telling about the free advertizing from The Jewel at the last meeting of the SVA executive.

In Rideau-Goulbourn, we are fortunate to have three dedicated teams of volunteers that staff ďŹ re halls in Manotick, North Gower and Richmond. I should also note that the Kars community is served by the volunteers in Osgoode. Volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters do so much in our community and we are blessed to have them here when we need them. One of the key differences with a volunteer ďŹ re station versus a full-time station is that our volunteers are not always at the hall and need to get there as fast as possible when a call comes in. For this reason, all volunteer ďŹ reďŹ ghters are given green ashing lights to place in their vehicles. These lights indicate to other drivers that a ďŹ reďŹ ghter is on their way to a ďŹ re or other emergency. In recent weeks, there have been reports of drivers not pulling over when they see a green ashing light so I thought I would include this reminder so that all drivers are aware. While on the subject of ďŹ re, Ottawa Fire Services wishes me to remind residents that Open Air Fire Permits are needed for anyone intending to burn outdoors. Permits may be obtained at the North Gower Client Service Centre on Thursdays from 8:30-4:30pm and also at the Manotick Fire Station. Please call the ďŹ re station in advance at 613-692-3301 to ensure that the ofďŹ ce is open.

Cleaning the Capital The City of Ottawa and Tim Horton’s are pleased to announce the annual Spring Cleaning the Capital campaign, which will take place from April 15 until May 15. Spring Cleaning the Capital is a city-wide event that brings together neighbours, communities and friends to help keep Ottawa beautiful. Registration is quick and easy. First, select a cleanup location, such as a park, ravine, shoreline, bus stop, pathway or any public area requiring tidying up. Projects can include litter pickup or grafďŹ ti removal. Then go to ottawa.ca to register for the cleanup. Following the event, submit an online cleanup report by May 31 to be eligible for more prizes from our sponsors. Cleanup starter kits for litter pickup and grafďŹ ti removal projects are available to all registered volunteers upon request. Litter pickup starter kits include: disposable vinyl gloves, garbage bags as well as leaf and yard waste bags. GrafďŹ ti removal starter kits include grafďŹ ti removal wipes and gloves. All kits come with helpful project and safety information to guide your cleanup project. This is a great opportunity for families and friends to work together on community cleanup projects that help make Ottawa clean, green, grafďŹ ti and litter free. Cleaning the Capital is also an excellent way for high school students to earn their community volunteer hours. Since the program’s inception n 1994, over 856,000 volunteers have participated in 13,100 cleanup projects throughout the city. As a result, an estimated 1.48M kilograms of waste have been removed from public spaces by participating individuals, student groups, community associations, businesses, friends and families.

THE CAMPGROUNDS One of the things that Stittsville became well-known for around the turn of the century was an area called “The Campgrounds” which was located in a beautiful wooded area stretching from where the ball diamond is today, over to Manchester Street, including today’s soccer field. The entrance to The Campgrounds was down along a little road behind one of the houses in the circle on Manchester. Camp meetings were part of the religious tradition of the Methodist church and consisted of gatherings in a large tent where people could listen to inspirational speakers. Stittsville already had a wellattended camp meeting established on the Huntley-Goulbourn Town line. Camp meetings were held right up to the 1960’s and people from all over Canada and the United States used to travel to Stittsville to attend! *Information regarding the “Did you know…” story was taken from the book Stittsville a Sense of Place by Barbara Bottriell, 1998

It’s race day on Jock River this Saturday Special to the News

EMC news – Canoes and kayaks will be racing on the Jock River this Saturday, April 20. It’s the occasion of the annual Upper Jock River Canoe/ Kayak Race which was initially set for Saturday, April 6 but the late spring necessitated a date change to this Saturday, April 20. This race has been an annual event since 1996, attracting anywhere from 76 to 140 entries in a particular year. The majority of entries are in the creational classes. A stand-up paddleboard class was added in 2012. Last year it was held on Saturday, March 31 with 60 canoes,

30 kayaks and one paddleboard as entries on a warm, sunny day with good water levels in the river. Due to the increasing number of kayaks in recent years, the race name was modified to be the Upper Jock River Canoe/ Kayak Race. The race was initially sponsored by the former township of Goulbourn and then by the city of Ottawa until 2003. A group of volunteers now organizes the race. The race carries on a spring racing tradition on the Jock River that goes back to the 1970’s when the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority used to sponsor such a canoe race on

EMC news - L’Arche Ottawa, part of the international organization founded by Canada’s Jean Vanier, will be presenting an evening workshop in Stittsville. Hosted by the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville, the L’Arche Ottawa workshop entitled “Being First” will take place on Tuesday, April 30 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the parish hall at Holy Spirit Church on Shea Road in Stittsville. L’Arche itself is an international organization of faith-based communities providing homes and day programs for people who have developmental disabilities. The discussion at the workshop will focus on “letting go” and making a transition from “doing” to “being.” This is particularly appropriate for seniors who can have challenges to the sense of self when things that they “do” such as a job are suddenly not there. This evening workshop is open to everyone in the community. Pre-registration can be accomplished by contacting Louise Beggs at louisebeggs@explornet.com or at 613-8363126 bythis Sunday, April 21.

Mom-2-Mom Sale Special to the News

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Displaying some of the wide array of gently used children’s boys, clothing and other items which will be on sale at great prices at the Mom-2-Mom Sale organized by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School (RCNS) for Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds, with free admission, are, standing at the back, from left, Dana Kean, Liana Medynski and Lori O’Brien, who will be three of the 17 vendors on hand, and RCNS publicity officer Bridgette Brown, while young Abby McGillis, front left, tries out a vehicle that will be among the items for sale that day.

EMC news - The Mom-2-Mom Sale of gently used children’s toys, clothing and more is going to be a great place for great deals. And if Saturday, April 27 is a nice spring day, it is going to be an even greater place for deals because not only will the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds be filled with vendors, but also there should be some vendors set up outside. Right now there are 17 vendors lined up with tables inside the Dining Hall and they will be there rain or shine. This is down just a bit from last year’s 20 vendors but this was intentional by the organizers at the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School so that there would be a bit more space for viewing the tables and negotiating deals. Those who attended last year’s Mom-2-Mom Sale, which drew hundreds of people, can confirm that space was at a premium then. This year’s event will be offering a more spacious atmosphere, although the same great deals on those gently used children’s items, so many in virtually flawless shape, will still be in evidence. If you have a young child or a grandchild, this will be the place to be to scoop up a toy, clothing, book or other item in great condition at an unbelievably low price. There’s absolutely no admission charge and lots of free parking. In addition, the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School is holding a bake

sale at the event as well, so you can pick up some baked goodies along with your gently used children’s items. And this is even a great event for vendors. Given last year’s great turnout, there will be numerous sales galore at the event. But what is not sold at this Mom2-Mom Sale can re-appear in two weeks’ time at a garage sale table in the annual Richmond Village-Wide Garage Sale event. So, one sorting of a family’s toys and clothing can suffice for two sales opportunities – what a win/win situation! This Mom-2-Mom Sale is being held on Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. This is the building that is right next to the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) with lots of parking between the two buildings. For more information about this Mom2-Mom event which is being hosted by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School, please check out the website at www.rcns.ca or call 613-838-2575. The Richmond Cooperative Nursery School, which is located in the basement hall at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond, offers pre-school and toddler programs, as well as a summer program. The Nursery School recently held an open house to kick off its registration for the upcoming 2013-2014 Nursery School year. There are still spaces available. Those interested should check out the website at www.rcns.ca for more information.

First-ever GGHA banquet cheerful and upbeat and exhibits the traits of fair play and sportsmanship. Ken Thorneycroft, Joan’s husband, and their daughter Sandra Wickware presented the Joan Thorneycroft Memorial Trophy to its initial recipients – Kaliana St. Amant for the GGHA initiation program; Logan Tremblay for the novice team; and Ava Grace Sliwa for the atom team. The other trophy awarded for its inaugural time is an “Unsung Hero” trophy named in honour of the GGHA’s founder and president Cathy Bureau. Cathy not only instigated the GGHA to provide girls in Goulbourn with the opportunity to play hockey in their local community rather than travelling elsewhere but also brought $20,000 to the coffers of the GGHA earlier this month by being one of the winners in the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” program thanks to her long involvement and commitment to hockey, including a career as a standout player at Clarkson University in Potsdam, time as the first female level four referee in Ottawa, president of the Ottawa District Women’s Hockey Association, volunteer work at both the inaugural 1990 women’s world hockey championship in Ottawa and at the recent 2013 championship and founding the GGHA two years ago. The Cathy Bureau Award is to be presented each year to a “graduating player” who has demonstrated a positive attitude both on and off the ice, is self motivated, has shown dedication and integrity and has shown a willingness to learn. Julia Robertson was the recipient of this award. She is considered a “graduating player” as she will be moving on from the GGHA’s atom team to the next level next season. Eventually, as the GGHA adds all of the additional levels of play, this award will go to a player who is “graduating” totally from the GGHA, having completed the program. Both of these trophies – the Joan Thorneycroft Memorial Trophy and the Cathy Bureau Award – will be displayed in a new display case

EMC sports - The first two trophies of the Goulbourn Girls Hockey Association (GGHA) are named after the two people who have been instrumental in launching this new organization that is now providing a local hockey experience for young Goulbourn girls. Both trophies were presented for the first time at the GGHA’s first-ever windup banquet at the Lions Hall in Stittsville last Saturday evening, April 13. The Joan Thorneycroft Memorial Trophy is named after the late Joan Thorneycroft who was the initial benefactor for the fledgling organization when it was founded two years ago, with her family providing a $5,000 donation to help with expenses such as the purchase of jerseys. Indeed, the GGHA presented Joan with an honourary jersey, number 34 and the GGHA teams (two of them this season – one novice and one atom) are called the Rockets in recognition of a team of the same name for which Joan played in her youth. Right up to her death earlier this year, Joan remained an enthusiastic supporter and fan of the GGHA, attending many of its activities. The GGHA teams now place at miniature rocket bearing the initials “JT” for Joan Thorneycroft and the number “34” which was her jersey number, at centre ice during the warmup time before games as a way of honouring her memory. And this memory is fresh and strong, no doubt about it, as evidenced not only by the applause and cheers that resounded through the hall when the Joan Thorneycroft Memorial Trophy was presented but also by the reaction whenever Joan’s picture appeared in a video presentation wrapping up the season that was shown at the conclusion of the banquet. This Joan Thorneycroft Memorial Trophy will be presented annually to one player at each GGHA level of play. It will be a player who has shown a love for the game of hockey, has demonstrated enthusiasm for the sport, is always

that is planned to be installed by the city of Ottawa at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex. Besides the presentation of these two new, prestigious trophies, the banquet also saw each player in each of the GGHA programs (initiation, novice and atom) called up and presented with a medal on a blue ribbon along with congratulations from the coaches. Cathy Bureau, speaking at the banquet, said that the GGHA had experienced an “awesome year” in the past season, one in which the GGHA iced one novice and one atom team and also offered an initiation level program. It was accepted into the Ottawa District Women’s Hockey Association following an initial season of on-ice practices emphasizing skill development and exhibition games. She praised all the parents, members of the executive and players who had made the GGHA happen by having faith in becoming

involved with the new organization. “It’s great people like you that make a great organization,” she said, especially thanking the young players for sticking with the GGHA. At the banquet, light blue Goulbourn Rockets jerseys, signed by all of the Rockets players, were presented as gifts of appreciation to Ken Thorneycroft for all that the Thorneycroft family has done in supporting the GGHA, to West Physio which sponsored the players’ socks and to city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri for his support. Other GGHA sponsors who were thanked included Jo Jo’s Pizza, Leon Switzer of the Front Page Media Group, Mike Pilon of the Endeavour Sports Group, Napoli’s Café, Dentistry at Main, CDS Storage and Building Movers, OCS Signs and Rink Pro Sports. In his remarks at the banquet, councillor Qadri told about a message which he saw at the recent women’s world hockey championship at Scotiabank Place, referring to female hockey players: “Sugar and Spice/but not on the ice.” He thanked all of the GGHA volunteers for helping to make memories for the GGHA’s young players and also congratulated Cathy Bureau for winning in the “Kraft Hockey Goes On” program. Bunches of blue, white and yellow balloons floated from the banquet tables with their blue and white tablecloths, giving a festive atmosphere to the banquet, as did the blue and white Christmas lights strung along the walls. Royals Restaurant of Richmond catered the banquet, providing the GGHA with the meal at cost. Debbie Pilon served as the MC for the banquet, although she was helped by players in announcing the winners of a plethora of door prizes which were given out, mainly gift certificates donated by local businesses such as the Barley Mow Pub, Play It Again Sports, Napoli’s Café and Willy’s Pizza. As the banquet ended, there was an opportunity for dancing, which the young GGHA players took full advantage of, moving to the sounds of that iconic favourite heard at dances and considered one of the greatest songs of the 20th century, “Y.M.C.A.” Players even formed human trains that moved around the hall.

SECOND SECTION Ryan Orban drafted Classifieds

Business Directory

THURSDAY APRIL 18, 2013

Special to the News

EMC sports - Ryan Orban of Stittsville, the top draft pick from Eastern Ontario in the April 6th Priority Selection Draft of the Ontario Hockey League, has a busy time ahead. The 6 foot, two inch, 210 pound defenseman was drafted 23rd overall by the Saginaw Spirit, a Michiganbased team in the Ontario Hockey League, the same league in which the Ottawa 67’s play. Currently on his schedule in the coming months are attending the Saginaw Spirit development camp from April 26 to April 28 in Michigan; playing for the Eastern Ontario team at the U17 Gold Cup in Kitchener from May 9-12; and attending the Creative Artist Agency (CAA) development camp in Los Angeles in

July along with top National Hockey League draft prospects. As the fourth pick in the second round, Ryan was the first player picked from Eastern Ontario in this draft which involves minor midget players (15 years old) from across Ontario and the United States. There were 23 other players from Eastern Ontario picked by one team or another over the 15 rounds of the Priority Selection Draft. Ryan, who is a grade ten student at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville, played for the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association and for the past six years has played for the Ottawa Valley Titans. Most recently, he has played for the Ottawa Valley Titans Minor Midget AAA team coached by Stittsville res-

idents Jeff Fitch and Tim Swords. The Saginaw News reported that Ryan’s selection was part of an attempt by the Saginaw Spirit to increase the size of its defense corps, enlisting bigger players with longer reaches who are going to clear out the front of the net and give Spirit goalies a chance to see shots directed their way. The Saginaw Spirit joined the Ontario Hockey League, one of the premier Junior A leagues in North America, in 2002. The team gained some national recognition when TV personality Stephen Colbert promoted the team on his show. Saginaw, which has a population around 50,000 people, is located in the Flint/Tri-Cities area of Michigan.

Villagefest date set for Sept. 7, with this year’s theme to be dogs John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Villagefest, Stittsville’s celebrating marking the advent of fall in the community, is going to the dogs this year. The annual event, hosted by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), will have a theme of dogs this coming September. Last year’s Villagefest featured a dog show which proved successful and so the suggestion was made to extend this dog theme to the

whole event this year. “Dogs are like horses,” SVA president Phil Sweetnam observed at the SVA’s last executive meeting, adding that people are very emotionally attached to dogs, just like horse-lovers like their horses. This year’s Villagefest will be held on Saturday, Sept. 7, the first Saturday after Labour Day. Villagefest over the years has been held on various dates through September and even in early October. There has always been an effort to

avoid any conflict with the two popular local fall fairs at Richmond and Carp. In earlier years, threw was also an effort to avoid conflict with the yearend soccer tournament which happened in early September. Now, though, the SVA has settled on having Villagefest happen on the first weekend after Labour Day. Villagefest is held at Village Square Park in downtown Stittsville. Its budget has usually been in the range of $3,000.

EMC sports - Not once but twice during their run to the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League Novice B Greenline playoff championship, the Stittsville Ice Hawks faced a winner-take-all showdown and on both occasions, the Ice Hawks came up big. The result: the Novice B Greenline playoff championship. It all happened following a regular season in which the Stittsville Ice Hawks finished tied for second place. The Ice Hawks were pooled with the first place team, Almonte-Pakenham, in the preliminary round of the playoffs. Although Almonte-Pakenham had only lost three games all season long and had finished seven points ahead of the Ice Hawks in the standings, the teams had split their season series, with each team winning a game. In the opening game of the preliminary round of the playoffs, the teams tied 3-3, although the Ice Hawks had held a 3-0 lead at one time. Both teams went on to win their next two games in the preliminary round of the playoffs, setting up a final one game, winner-takes-all, showdown at the Pakenham Arena, with the winner getting a ticket to the championship final series. Even though they were playing on the road, the Stittsville Ice Hawks came through in this one game showdown, winning 3-2 and advancing to the championship final series. The Ice Hawks opponent in this championship series was none other

than the team’s crosstown rivals, the Stittsville Snipers who had finished tied with the Ice Hawks for second place in the regular season. In the regular season, both teams won a game while the third game between them ended in a tie. So, these two teams were closely matched. It was going to be a tight championship series. In the opening game of the championship final series, the Ice Hawks prevailed 4-1, a score that did not perhaps reflect the closeness of the game as the teams battled right through to the final whistle. In game two, the Stittsville Snipers, with their backs to the wall, played a strong game and ended up winning 2-1, setting the stage for a third game – another winner-take-all showdown. The stands at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena were filled for this deciding third game of the playoff championship final series on Friday, March 29, with both teams knowing it was “must win” time. Even though the Ice Hawks played with vigour and heart, the game was tied 0-0 going into the third period, although both teams had numerous chances to score. So, it was down to one period of hockey to decide the playoff championship. Early in the third period, the Ice Hawks broke open the scoreless tie and victory was in sight. In the end, the Ice Hawks pulled off a 5-1 victory to take the playoff championship, quite an accomplishment against a strong opponent.

Gentleman’s league Mervyn Hann Special to the News

EMC sports - Around Stittsville this summer, you may see someone wearing a white or black Stittsville Men’s 30+ Hockey League (SMHL) hat. If you do, make a note that you are viewing a player in a true gentleman’s hockey league with an over 40 year legacy in the community. It all happens on late Tuesday and Friday nights at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena when 70 Stittsville area players enjoy fun and friendly hockey games playing in the five team league. While the average age of

the players is 45 years, a little past their prime in terms of skill, they still enjoy the game for its exercise, camaraderie, fun and, yes, friendly competition, playing a couple of games each week. This 2012-2013 season was a record year for changes in the team rosters, with a total of 17 “rookies” joining the league. The season ended on Friday, April 5 with the final four teams “competing” for the league championship but, more importantly, for the privilege of receiving and wearing the traditional white SMHL “champions” ball caps for the coming year. It was Team Red, captained by Peter Cottreau, who came

out on top this year, receiving the championship trophy and their “white” ball caps at the league’s annual banquet at Bistro 54 at Amberwood on Saturday, April 6. While Team Red received these white ball caps, all other players in the league received black SMHL ball caps which they will wear proudly throughout the summer but which they would happily trade for the coveted white cap next season. In addition to recognizing the playoff winners, the annual banquet provided the opportunity to recognize best efforts 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 still prevail in the league today.

Scoring stats are kept only during the playoffs but the top scorer award was shared by Jeff Christink and Dave Janssen who both accumulated 14 points over the ten playoff games. All other SMHL awards are voted on by the league players. The league MVP award went to Neil Jones while the top forward was rookie Todd Carriere. Rick St. Amand was the defenseman of the year for the second year in a row. Top goalie was Craig St. Germain while Simon Skierszkan received the most sportsmanlike and gentlemanly player award. It is quite amazing that 36 of the 70 players in the league received nominations for this award, showing how widespread sportsmanship and gentlemanly play are

in this league. The most coveted award, voted on by league players, is the John Shouldice Memorial Award which represents what the league tries to embody, namely the forging of lifetime friendships while enjoying the fun of the game of hockey. The award is named after John Shouldice, a Stittsville resident who was a long time SMHL player who died of cancer in June 2002. He truly represented a gentleman’s league hockey player. Each year the league remembers John’s legacy with a toast at the banquet and awards the John Shouldice Memorial Award, a trophy which consists of one of John’s skates bronzed to create a trophy. Long time Stittsville resident Scott Bradley was honoured with this award this

year, being recognized as the person who best represented the spirit of the league in the 2012-2013 season. A quite leader and good hockey player, Scott is a fixture in local minor hockey circles as well, serving perennially as a minor hockey coach and always there to lend a helping hand. In 2012, Scott received the Rory Bradley Volunteer of the Year Award from the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association.

Fiddling, stepdancing in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Last Saturday afternoon’s fiddle and stepdancing show at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre hall in Richmond was a glance into the future. No, not the distant future but rather the short-term future as it was a preview, as it were, of the entertainment that will be upcoming at the 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition on the May long weekend right at that very same site. Held as a fundraiser to help support this upcoming competition weekend on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19, last Saturday’s event featured stepdancing and fiddling performers who will be taking part in this upcoming competition. So you had Triple Trouble, a trio of sisters from Ottawa, with 15 year old Michaela Mullan and 12 year old Marley Mullan stepdancing and fiddling, sometimes at the same time, while sister Molly, 13, played the keyboard, even played the cello and also stepdanced. The trio has been performing together for about five years although they have all been involved with music for years. They will be back performing at the upcoming Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition in this very same hall on the May long weekend. Indeed, Michaela Mullan is the defending champion in the fiddle/dance category where a participant fiddles and stepdances at the same time. You also had performing last Saturday sisters Grace Greer, age 10, and Cecille Greer, age

6, both of whom are stepdancers from North Gower. They were not scheduled to perform, attending the event as spectators with their grandparents who live in Mountain. But when they were offered the chance to perform, there was a quick trip home to pick up their shoes and they were back, performing for the crowd. And there were more – stepdancers who performed singly or together, fiddlers including the “Elly Squared” duo of Elly Wedge of Richmond and Ellen “Ellie” Daly, and even some offerings from renowned fiddler Kyle Felhaver who helped organize the event. His renditions of “Smash the Windows” (yes, that’s the name of a fiddle tune) and “Buck Fever Rag,” a tune by famous fiddler Reggie Hill of Mac Beattie’s Ottawa Valley Melodiers, got toes tapping through the hall. And Kyle, of course, provided the reels and other tunes required for the stepdancing performers. The afternoon’s entertainment led off with singer Lindsay Frechette from West Carleton. All of this was just a taste of what’s in store in this very same hall at the 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition on the May long weekend – Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19. This competition has categories for stepdancers and fiddlers of all ages, from the youngest right up to those 70 and over. This year the competition has been relocated from the nearby Richmond Curling Club facility, its locale in past years, to the arena hall where an intimate atmosphere will undoubtedly prevail, making for an enjoyable experience for both the audience and the competitors.

Human traffiking will be focus of documentary film

Australians in audience Special to the News

Special to the News

EMC news - Human trafďŹ cking – the trade in human beings – is second only to drug trafďŹ cking as the most proďŹ table illegal industry in the world. This trade in human beings could be for sexual purposes, for forced labour or for the extraction of organs. But what is most shocking is that human trafďŹ cking is happening right here in the Ottawa area. Don’t believe it? Well, then plan to attend the showing of a documentary ďŹ lm about this problem and how those who are victimized by human trafďŹ cking can be helped. The ďŹ lm will be shown free of charge on Wednesday, May 15 at the Holy Spirit parish hall on Shea Road in Stittsville, hosted by the Catholic Women’s League of the parish. The ďŹ lm is being shown thanks to Dianne Van Der Putten of CHRI Christian radio. Entitled “Nefarious: Merchant of Souls,â€? the documentary will shed light on the reality of human trafďŹ cking in the world today. Following the showing of this documentary ďŹ lm about human trafďŹ cking, there will be a panel discussion to consider concrete ways in which to remedy and help the situation. It will provide an opportunity for people to become involved in combating this activity. Everyone in the community is urged to attend. Please pre-register with Louise Beggs at louisebeggs@xplornet.com or at 613-836-3126 by Wednesday, May 1. A ďŹ lm trailer can be found at http://nefariousdocumentary.com.

Attending the performance of “The Trials of Robin Hood� at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on opening night, Wednesday, April 10 are a family from Queensland, Australia, along with their Stittsville friends and hosts, from left, seated, Rhonda Bates and daughter Dana Bates, both from Australia, Frances Major of Stittsville and son Kendall Bates of Australia; and, from left, standing, Bob Major of Stittsville and Wade Bates of Australia.

EMC news - Sacred Heart High School’s presentation of “The Trials of Robin Hoodâ€? had an international audience on its opening night on Wednesday, April 10. In the audience that night were the four members of the Bates family from Queensland, Australia who were there with their Stittsville friends and hosts, Bob and Frances Major, who in turn were there because their grandson David Larson, a grade nine student at Sacred Heart, had the role of a soldier in the production. Bob and Frances Major met Rhona and Wade Bates 16 years ago while travelling in California and they have remained friends ever since. Mr. and Mrs. Bates, with their children Dana Bates and Kendall Bates, were in Stittsville for an eight day stay with the Majors. The Bates family had come from Disneyland in California where the two children, Dana and Kendall, were part of a group of dancers from Queensland, Australia, competing in a “Dance Excellenceâ€? event. They captured four ďŹ rsts and one second in the competition.

Novice B Rangers are champs Special to the News

EMC sports - The Kanata Novice B Rangers are Ottawa District Women’s Hockey Association (ODWHA) champions. The Rangers, whose players include a number from Stittsville, captured the gold medals in their division at the ODWHA Championship Day at the North Grenville Municipal Centre in Kemptville on Sunday, March 24. At this Championship Day, the finals for the ODWHA were played to determine the league playoff champions in the various divisions. The Rangers scored a 2-1 victory over the Ottawa Ice to win the championship. This ODWHA city championship win capped off a good season for the Kanata Novice B Rangers, one in

which the Rangers had 34 wins, only 11 losses and 3 ties. On the ODWHA Championship Day, the Rangers once again showed the effort, spirit and determination that the players had demonstrated all season long. Members of the Kanata Novice B Rangers, which is one of the teams of the Kanata Girls Hockey Association (KGHA), are Kira Westman, Shea Chamberlain, Ella Bundza, Mia Mulvihill, Avery Nicholson, Michelle Zheng, Emma Markwick, Ella Grad, Gabrielle Gareau, Gwyneth Tubman, Lacey Mullin, Mikaylee Driver, Harrie Jones, Alicia Humphreys and Ciara Binotto. The ODWHA city championship victory by the Kanata Novice B Rangers was not the only KGHA team to bring home gold medals

from the event. The KGHA Atom B, Atom C and Bantam AA teams also won their respective championships. The Kanata Girls Hockey Association (KGHA) was founded over 30 years ago but really took off after the first-ever Women’s World Hockey Championships were played in Ottawa in 1990.

That’s when registration numbers grew substantially. Registration has continued to grow over the ensuing years as the KGHA is now one of the largest girls hockey associations in Eastern Ontario with over 700 players registered, playing on more than 40 teams at every level. The KGHA draws players from Kanata as well as Goulbourn (Stittsville) and West Carleton. Its annual tournaments draw entries from

across the province, Quebec and the United States. The primary objectives of the KGHA are to promote the participation of girls and women in all aspects of female hockey; to foster and encourage leadership programs in all areas related to the development of female hockey in the Kanata region; and to promote hockey as a game played primarily for enjoyment but also including sportsmanship and life skills.

Holy Spirit students learn about micronutrients John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A little bit sometimes goes a long way in making a difference in human health. And adding iodine to salt to ensure that the body gets its needed, albeit small, douse of iodine is just one of the ways that this happens. It could involve any number of micronutrients, such as fortifying bread with iron or adding zinc to a food – the food is used as a vehicle to get into the body these vital but small amounts of micronutrients that are essential for good health. The Micronutrient Initiative, an organization which works to eliminate vitamin and mineral deficiencies in the world’s most vulnerable populations, represented by Chris Dendys, director of external relations, and Aynsley Morris, communications manager, explained the value of micronutrients in human diets in a presentation to students of Mr. Don Kealey’s grade five/six class at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Monday morning, April 8. This also happened to be World Health Day. Ms. Dendys of the Micronutrient Initiative explained to the students that many children in the world do not have enough to eat, stunting their growth and development. The Micronutrient Initiative is working to address these

dietary deficits so that children everywhere receive the micronutrients that they need for healthy living. Iodine is one of the micronutrients needed by the body to grow and in fact helps brain development. It has been found, as has been the case in Canada for almost 100 years, that the best way to deliver the small amounts of iodine that the body needs is to add it to salt which is consumed every day by virtually everyone, even the poorest people in the world. The students were shown how salt is tested in the field to ensure that it has the proper amount of iodine added to it. The students broke up into groups of two who then tested two bags of salt, one of which is iodized salt and the other which has no iodine. Salt with the proper amount of iodine, when tested with a testing solution, turned purple temporarily. Ms. Dendys told the students that what really matters is to get these important micronutrients like iodine into as many children’s bodies as possible. There has been some success as now an estimated 75 percent of the world’s population is getting iodine in salt. And this is leading to improvements in overall health. For more than 15 years, the Micronutrient Initiative has been leading the way in trying to provide the world’s most vulnerable with the

vitamins and minerals needed for a healthy life. Although micronutrients are needed in only minute quantities, their importance is big. They orchestrate a whole range of physiological

functions. Even children who are undernourished benefit from adequate micronutrients in their diet as then they are better able to survive infection and develop more to their fullest potential.

Excitement at Kingston tournament EMC sports - An exciting season ended on a high note for the Stittsville Atom A Storm. And why shouldn’t it have, as the Stittsville Storm players provided excitement all season long to their parents, siblings and extended family members. And so it was no different at the team’s season ending tournament appearance in the Kingston Kids for Kids tournament or in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League playoffs. Both provided excitement and superb hockey generated by the Storm. In the Kingston Kids for Kids tournament on Easter weekend, the Stittsville Storm came as close as possible to winning it all. They were undefeated going into the championship final. And the score in this championship final was the closest possible – 1-0. Unfortunately, it was the West End Snipers who came out on top. But what a way to end an exciting Easter weekend, both on and off the ice and all of it a lot of fun for the players. There was the hockey tournament itself but also football, mini sticks, swimming and Easter egg hunts, all of it spelling F-U-N. On the ice, the Storm players played their hearts out all tournament long, going undefeated to reach the championship final against the West End Snipers. The Storm lose this hardfought game 1-0 despite many chances to score. But the Storm just couldn’t put one past the hot Snipers goalie. It was a great came. The Storm players congratulated the West End Snipers on their victory, giving them full credit for their win, and accepted their finalist

trophies with class. The Storm even celebrated the end of a great season in the dressing room with a “club soda” celebration. Earlier in the tournament, Brayden Pike of the Storm won the skills competition trophy for fastest skater. Storm players Cullen Lesage and Connor Marriage, along with goalie Scott Quintal, grabbed trophies in the breakaway challenge. The Kingston Kids for Kids tournament was not only a lot of fun, with the Storm coming home with trophies, but also is a tournament that supports a worthy cause. This year the organizing committee was expecting to raise more than $50,000 for children’s needs as met by organizations such as the Kingston Area Boys and Girls Club and the Kingston General Hospital Foundation. Before heading to Kingston on the Easter weekend, the Stittsville Atom A Storm had finished up playoff action in the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League (LCMHL). The Storm had five wins and only one loss in their LCMHL playoff run to reach the playoff championship final series against Carleton Place. Carleton Place captured the playoff championship banner by winning game three of the series by a 2-0 score which included an empty net goal. The Storm took home the LCMHL playoff finalist banner. Throughout the season, the Stittsville Atom A Storm enjoyed great support and incredible cheering from the players’ parents, siblings and extended families. This made it an even greater season of fun for the players.

EMC sports – April showers bring May flowers is one old saying. What about a newer one: April showers bring May bowling. That’s the case for the Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club which will be starting another season at its grass lawn bowling facility at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners on Monday, May 6 – provided, that is, that those April showers come and the grass greens up, ready for play. Again this year, there will be lawn bowling on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. And, as is the Club’s tradition, there always will be treats and refreshments with conversation afterwards. This happens in the tent shelter that was new last year that sits beside the lawn bowling green, providing a relaxing spot where lawn bowlers can stay out of the sun or inclement weather while enjoying themselves right beside the lawn bowling green. This tent shelter was made possible with the cooperation of the city of Ottawa, with the city supplying matching funds of about $7,000 to facilitate the project.

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. Today the sport is played in over 40 countries and is a sport at the Commonwealth Games. Lawn bowling is played on a rectangular, precisely leveled area with manicured grass, divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. In singles and pairs play, a player delivers four bowls in each end. In triples, three bowls are delivered by each player in an end while in fours, each bowler delivers two bowls in an end. 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 email him at gjbn@rogers.com

bers. In addition, the Club supplies the lawn bowls. All a new bowler needs is a pair of flat soled shoes, shorts and a light top. You will receive lots of instruction and advice on how to play the game. For those who cannot bowl during the day, the Club has begun offering lawn bowling on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. There is also bowling on Saturday mornings. And lawn bowling is reasonably priced, especially for those just taking up the sport. Indeed, the cost to be a Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club member has been the same for the past five years: $60 for a first year member and then only $135 a season after that. 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

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

The organist at the Lutheran church did her best, but when Aunt Lizzie came from Regina on her yearly visit, she never failed to comment on how the old organ needed a tuning. She once added, “maybe what is needed is a new organist.” Well, the chance of getting anyone to replace the organist out there in Northcote was just about nil and the possibility of getting the instrument tuned was just as remote. The woman who sat on the little swivel stool every Sunday played for the satisfaction it gave her and other than a few words of praise from the minister at the Strawberry Social in the summer that was all the pay she got. The organ looked like it had gone through the war. When I was very young, sitting right behind it, I often thought a ghost lived in it because for a few seconds after the last note was played, there was a wheezing sound come out of it, like someone drawing his last breath. There was a single row of plugs that looked like spools of thread and even from a distance I could see printing on them. These “plugs” often seemed to confuse the organist, who would

Old organ, hymns offer familiar and comforting sounds at Sunday service

push and pull at them, which created more wheezing, or no sound at all. One Sunday, in her frustration, she pulled and pushed the same “plug” and the whole thing came out in her hand. She simply placed it on top of the organ and there didn’t seem to be a whit of difference in the sound, even without the missing part. I noticed it sat on top of the organ for weeks before someone removed it, and it was never replaced or seen again. The yawning hole where the “plug” had once been remained for as long as we went to the Lutheran church. The foot pedals held a special fascination for me. There were two side by side. At one time they were covered in tapestry, but they had worn away to the perfect shape of the organist’s black laced shoes, which told me she had been playing for longer than I was alive. Since there was no other place to put them, at special services bouquets of flowers sat on a little round disc on the side of the organ. My older sister Audrey said that was where a lamp was placed if there was something going on in

the church at night so the organist could see the keys. Flowers were placed there at Easter and at Christmas and I used to think it would be nice if someone brought flowers every week. But of course, that would never do for a staid and sober congregation like the Lutherans at Northcote. We hardly ever saw the face of the organist. Her back was to the pews and I often spent most of the service trying to count the number of big grey hairpins that held the fat bun at the back of her head. The bun hid her neck and one Sunday I got the giggles which I had trouble controlling when I thought her head looked like a turnip sitting on a narrow cloth-covered shelf. We never knew if there was going to be a choir. It didn’t seem to be organized to the point where you could expect to see the same faces every Sunday, even though once a week there was supposed to be choir practice. Who showed up on those nights depended on other events going on in the community which were considered more important. We could always count on one dedicated

soul who never failed to sit in the very middle of the little row of straight-backed chairs on the small platform at the front of the church. She often drowned out the organist and one Sunday she was singing one hymn while the organist was playing something entirely different. Both went on doing their own thing, as the minister sat in the big high backed velvet chair with is eyes closed, rubbing his forehead. Audrey had a lovely voice, but she was very shy about singing alone. She had no trouble at the Northcote School when we belted out God Save the King every morning, but singing in church was a different kettle of fish. When she was ordered by Mother to do so, her knees shook like a bowl of jelly, sitting beside me in our pew. But when she got the first three or four notes out, she sang like a bird. I would look around the church as if to say, “that’s my sister, you know.” The old organ, the organist who lived in Northcote and never missed a Sunday, the familiar hymns, the voices raised in praise and the tattered hymn books all created a warm and comfortable feeling deep in my heart.

Jerk Sauce: * 4 green onions, sliced * 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped * 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped * 1 sweet red pepper, cut into chunks * 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped * 15ml (1 tbsp) packed brown sugar * 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each dried thyme leaves, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and garlic salt * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) cayenne pepper * canola oil * 125 ml (1/2 cup) chopped fresh coriander (optional) Trout: * 2 Ontario rainbow trout fillets (about 375 g/12 oz each), skin removed * 175 ml (3/4 cup) cornmeal * 15 ml (1 tbsp) ground cumin * 1 ml (1/4 tsp) salt * 1 egg

Preparation: Fresh jerk sauce: Place the onions, garlic and jalapeno in a food processor and whirl until coarsely ground. Add the sweet pepper and tomatoes with seeds and juice. Add the sugar, thyme, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic salt and cayenne pepper. Pulse in the food processor until chunky and pepper is chopped, about 10 times. Don’t puree. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the sauce and boil gently, uncovered and stirring often, until thickened or about 20 minutes. If you’re using it, stir in the coriander. Trout: Cut the fish into serving-size pieces. In shallow dish, combine the cornmeal, cumin and salt. In another dish, whisk the egg together with the milk. One at a time, coat both sides of fish in the egg mixture and then in the cornmeal mixture. In a large skillet, melt 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the butter over medium heat. Add the coated fish and cook until golden, or about three to five minutes. Add the remaining butter to the side of pan. Turn the fish, letting the melted butter flow over the pan before placing the fish down, cooking for about three to five minutes. Remove the fish to plates and spoon the jerk sauce on top and beside the fish.

Open house at Stittsville Co-op Nursery School Special to the News

EMC news - An open house followed by a registration night for the 2013-2014 year are coming up at the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School. The open house is happening first, this Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Nursery School premises at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville. This will provide parents of prospective Nursery School youngsters with an opportunity to meet the teachers, see the classrooms and find out about the program.

Then, following this open house, there will be a public registration night on Thursday, April 25 starting at 7 p.m. at the Nursery School premises. For more information about the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School, please visit the website www.scns.ca. Another special event coming up soon involving the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School is the Nursery School’s Wee-Cycle Consignment Sale which will take place on Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in the upstairs hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville

Community Arena. The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School has been a part of the Stittsville community for over 40 years now, providing children with a stimulating environment in which they learn and develop at their own pace. The program, offered for both two year olds and three year olds, focuses on activities that encourage children to experiment freely and creatively and supports them in developing new relationships. A word to the wise - places are limited and fill up quickly.

Households growing to 30,500 in 2031 Continued from page 1

The projections by the city show that Stittsville’s population will grow from the 27,000 figure in 2011 to 51,500 by the year 2021 and then to 70,500 by the year 2031. As for the number of households in Stittsville over this same period, the 9,000 households in Stittsville in the year 2011 are expected to grow to 21,900 households by the year 2021 and to 30,500 households by the year 2031. Looking back, in the year 2001, Stittsville

had a population of 16,000 with 6,300 households. By 2006, Stittsville’s population had grown to 19,600. Mr. Lanktree noted that the Stittsville Main Street of the future is going to have to serve this increased community population in keeping with the proposed CDP vision for Stittsville Main Street which is that Stittsville Main Street be a community destination with commercial and residential development that preserves the heritage and village character while being pedestrian and cyclist friendly.

And there’s going to be two experts there to lead the presentation. Dan Hudon will be making a short presentation on the Waterbury Watch and Clock Company while Grant Perry will give a brief account of the early history of the wrist watch Both will have physical examples to help illuminate their words.

cal training from Dan Hudon as well as from the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors in York, Pennsylvania.

Those planning to attend this presentation this Saturday, April 20 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street are also urged to take along any old watches and clocks or other time pieces as Mr. Perry and Mr. Hudon will provide a quick assessment of such items.

Family Fundraiser Fun Day coming ‘Hair Donation Ottawa’ Special to the News

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Mark down Saturday, May 4 under “Fâ€? for fun. Yes, that’s right, fun because merchants at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street are holding a Family Fundraiser Fun Day that day. Virtually all of the independent businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be participating in this Family Fundraiser Fun Day, with each offering something special to enjoy. There will be activities for both children and also adults. All of the activities will be free, although donations are being encouraged since all of the funds raised will be donated to a family mental health organization. And just what will some of these activities be, you ask? Well, Napoli’s CafĂŠ will be putting on a BBQ. First Choice Hair Cutters will be offering $10 haircuts, with the proceeds being donated towards the mental health organization that is being chosen as the recipient of the day’s proceeds. Gaia Java Coffee Company, which has become known for its Friday music evenings, is expected to provide some sidewalk entertainment. Curves Complete will be holding outside a zumba class with an instructor, with everyone welcome to join in. Zumba, of course, which combines Latin dancing and belly dancing, is a recent fun and ďŹ tness rage. You will be sure to want to try it. The Stittsville Kumon Learning Centre will be holding storytime for youngsters

while The Pottery Playhouse will have a table set up outside where youngsters can enjoy custom painting pottery pieces. Herbal Magic will be offering gift baskets and prizes to lucky patrons while the Dandelion Kids consignment shop will be offered kids’ games as well as giving away gift baskets and holding draws. Moksha Yoga will be giving demonstrations and offering demonstration classes of its popular hot yoga. If you haven’t tried it, this is your opportunity – and it’s free. And so it will go – the Deschenes and Poitras Dental OfďŹ ce, upstairs at the Stittsville Shopping Centre, is participating, offering a free draw for teeth whitening. There will also be toothbrushes given away. It is expected that both Edward Jones Investments and Motion Works Physiotherapy, also upstairs, will be participating, although there are no particulars as yet. This will all be happening on Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine. Sandra Edwards of Dandelion Kids said the idea of this Family Fundraiser Fun Day arose after she was thinking of holding a ďŹ rst anniversary celebration marking the relocation of Dandelion Kids to the Stittsville Shopping Centre from its previous Stittsville Main Street location. It was when she discovered that two other businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre were also planning something special on that same day that the idea evolved that all of the independent businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre should get together on that day and offer a wide vari-

ety of fun events and activities. Other businesses were supportive of the idea and the planning for the day began. Various mental health organizations have been contacted and hopefully will provide brochures and information that day. The Ottawa Police Service, which has a Mental Health Unit, may also participate that day. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is supportive of the event. The merchants, as independent businesses in the village, want to give back to the community by holding this fun day, showing what local businesses can contribute to community life. Fun for everyone is the primary purpose of the day but being able to help out in the realm of mental health by making a donation to a mental health organization from donations received during the day also makes it a meaningful day for the merchants and all who participate. The event is being viewed as the ďŹ rst of what will become an annual event at the Stittsville Shopping Centre, one that will grow with even more offerings in subsequent years. So, mark down Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on your calendar and plan to drop by for some fun, enjoying what will be offered for free by these independent merchants at the Stittsville Shopping Centre. The Stittsville Shopping Centre, located at 1300 Stittsville Main Street, is on the west side of Stittsville Main Street between Carp Road and Hobin Street.

EMC news - This Sunday, April 21st is when Hair Donation Ottawa, an annual non-proďŹ t cancer research and treatment fundraiser, is happening. The Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon is the location of this year’s Hair Donation Ottawa fundraiser. Some have registered to have their hair cut but some, like city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, are having their heads shaved at the event. Hair Donation Ottawa started out as a local Stittsville event, founded by real estate agent and cancer survivor Helene Hutchings. This year, in only its third year, this program to donate hair for wigs for cancer patients and to raise funds for cancer research has gone city-wide as “Hair Donation Ottawa.â€? At this Sunday’s event at the Algonquin College Hair Stylist Salon, stylists will be on hand to wash, cut and style those who either are donating six-plus inches of hair or are having their hair cut in return for funds raised or who are having their heads or beards shaved for the cause. These participating stylists will be from various Ottawa area salons as well as from the Algonquin College Hair Stylist program, all volunteering their time for this event.

Historical Society looking for those who visited Methodist campgrounds Special to the News

EMC news - If you have any family connection to the former Methodist campgrounds in Stittsville or Mapledene Youth Camps which took place at the campgrounds before the site was sold in the 1970’s, then the Goulbourn Township Historical Society wants to know about you. The Historical Society has plans to erect a plaque this summer commemorating the campgrounds and

their history. The Historical Society would like to identify those who attended either the camp meetings at the former Methodist campgrounds or who attended the Mapledene Youth Camps in order to be able to invite them to the plaque dedication ceremony. In addition, the Historical Society would like to hear particularly from members of any family who had a cottage at the campgrounds. A

number of families had permanent cottages at the campgrounds, with the families spending their summers there. Even Stittsville and area residents who may have attended an event or activity at the campgrounds is urged to let the Historical Society know. This would even include those who went swimming at the campgrounds’ pool in the 1960’s and 1970’s. So, the search is on and you can

help if you have any connection to these historic campgrounds in Stittsville. Please call 613-836-3780 or email campgrounds@goulbournhistoricalsociety.org . The Methodist campgrounds, originally the Holiness Movement Church campgrounds, began in the 1890’s and existed through to the mid-1970’s before the Free Methodist Church sold the campgrounds as it consolidated its camp activi-

ties, with the closest one now being at Picton, Ontario. The Methodist campgrounds ran from Manchester Street on the south through to Poole Creek on the north in the area that is now behind Alexander Grove and the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. The area is now the site of homes on Long Meadow Way and Forest Heights Avenue as well as the soccer field and second ball diamond behind the arena.
