Shakespeare in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Think of William Shakespeare and many thoughts come to mind, including death. Indeed, death is an outcome in some of Shakespeare’s plays. Hamlet, for example, dies from a poisoned blade in a fencing match. Macbeth is beheaded. And there’s more. A Company of Fools, Ottawa’s longest running professional Shakespearean company, has developed a 60 minute dramatic exploration of some of Shakespeare’s greatest deaths and is bringing it to Stittsville. Stittsville will be the first of ten performances of “Shakespeare’s Dead,� which will be presented by A Company of Fools in venues across the city of Ottawa in a two week period from Monday, April 30 to Friday, May 11. The Stittsville performance of “Shakespeare’s Dead� will take place on Monday, April 30 at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. The doors will open at 7 p.m. with seating on a first come, first served basis. The performance itself will begin at 7:30 p.m. sharp. The cost of the performance will be via a pass-the-hat procedure, just like has become traditional at A Company of Fools performances. “Shakespeare’s Dead� involves a small band of actors who are suddenly jolted into a creative frenzy when the spirit of William Shakespeare himself descends upon one of the players. Rap, improvisation, slapstick and all the shenanigans that the Fools have become famous for will follow in this 60 minute exploration of some of the greatest deaths in Shakespearean literature. A Company of Fools tours various neighbourhood parks in the summertime including Alexander Grove Park in Stittsville. See SHAKESPEARE on page 4

Bidding on sermon topic John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Jokes poking fun at the Toronto Maple Leafs, on a night when the Ottawa Senators were playing in a Stanley Cup playoff game. Humourous. Auctioning off homemade pies of various kinds including one “mystery� pie. Delicious. Bidding to determine the topic of a sermon to be given by minister Rev. Doug Kendall. Priceless. But all this and more, including the auctioning off of 89 items or collection of items over nearly three hours, combined to make the Time, Talent, Treasure Live Auction held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville last Saturday night not only a memorable event but also a successful fundraising initiative for the church’ planned expansion to make the building fully handicapped accessible. This was the third such Time, Talent, Treasure Live Auction held by the church for this cause, with Colin McKeown, who is the host of the New Fly Fisher television show, again serving as the auctioneer. Wearing an Ottawa Senators Kovalev jersey, auctioneer McKeown started off

the evening with a Toronto Maple Leafs joke, something that he interspersed throughout his auctioneering, especially during the first half of the event. So, the 100 people who filled the basement hall at the church waving their “paddles� as they bid on favoured items got to chuckle when asked what was the similarity between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Titanic (They both look good until they hit the ice) or how the Maple Leafs and Canada Post are the same (Both wear uniforms and both don’t deliver) or how does a person keep the Maple Leafs out of the yard (Put up a goalie net) or what do the Toronto Maple Leafs and possums have in common (Both play dead at home and get killed on the road). Well, enough of that – you get the idea and the jokes did generate laughter. At intermission time and at times in the second half of the auction, homemade pies donated by members of the St. Andrew’s congregation were auctioned off, going from a high of $30 for one apple pie as well as for a cherry pie to $10 for the “mystery� pie, believed to be apple but with no confirmation. Pecan, butterscotch, cherry, pumpkin and lemon me-

ringue pies all went under the McKeown auction hammer. All of the pies went with a jar of homemade jam as well. It was item number 76 in the auction that generated a lot of interest, although far from the highest amount bid in the event. This was bidding on a sermon on the topic of your choice to be given by Rev. Doug Kendall, St. Andrew’s minister. Starting at $25, the bidding rose to $60, at which time Rev. Kendall reminded those in attendance that the price paid would affect the finished product. “The higher the price, the shorter the sermon,� he promised. This drove the bid up another $10 to the $70 at which the bidding closed. The auction was also interspersed with special children’s items, with youngsters in the audience able to bid using red hearts that they received. A soccer ball proved to be a popular item, as it attracted a whopping 30 hearts when it came up for grabs. A skipping rope, in contrast, attracted a bid of only nine hearts and that was after it was paired with some cookies. See AUCTION on page 2

Auction at St. Andrew’s Church Continued from page 1

All those at the auction received a booklet outlining the items going up for bid, many of which included two or more items. For instance, one item was a professional hardwood floor mop with cleaning solution along with a $25 Chapters gift card. A Sens heritage jersey plus a framed autographed print of Sens player Matt Carkner went for $135 while a three month membership at Cooligan Martial Arts and Fitness in Stittsville, valued at $400, went for half price at $200. A deluxe rotating Scrabble board, an upholstered occasional chair and a print of the Peterborough lift lock, an example of the combining of separate items into one item for bidding purposes, sold for $160. Snow plowing proved to be a popular item. A season of snow removal by Adam Kittle went to $350, just below its $360 value, while a season of snow removal by Kodiak Snow Removal, val-

ued at $380, went for $340. But the biggest successful bids of the evening were $800 ones. This amount was paid for a gift certificate for a beginner’s education course by the Extra Mile Driving School (value $888) while $800 was also paid for the consultation and preparation of spouses’ wills and power of attorney documents donated by lawyer Mark Arbique with a value of $1,600. Applause broke out among the crowd after this successful bid, as it did after other high successful bids or after an item sold following intense bidding. The church’s Community Accessibility Renewal Expansion (C.A.R.E.) project has a $200,000 goal. The project will see an addition on the church which will include handicapped accessibility. This will make the church building more functional not only for the congregation but also for the community organizations that use the facility.

Shakespeare Continued from page 1

These also are “pass the hat” performances. A Company of Fools has been delighting audiences with their Shakespearean offerings since 1990. It has a reputation as a highly physical troupe doing interactive shows. A Company of Fools produces innovative and entertaining shows based on the works of William Shakespeare. This includes both original works inspired by Shakespeare as well as performances of his plays. As might be expected of “fools,” the actors involved combine physical theatre techniques such as clown, mask and puppetry with classical text.

Abenaki history, culture at library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Abenaki history and culture will be coming alive at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Monday, April 30. This is when Daniel Richer will present a native storytelling performance in which he will share the richness of his Abenaki history and culture in the tradition of oral storytelling that is a major part of Abenaki culture. Indeed, in the Abenaki culture, storytelling is used not only as entertainment but also as a teaching method. The Abenaki use stories as a means of teaching children behaviour. The Abenaki are a tribe of native American

and First Nations people and one of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of northeastern North America. Historically, the Abenaki were peaceful, although they were often forced to defend themselves against the Iroquois. They relied upon horticulture for their food as well as hunting and fishing. European diseases ravaged the Abenaki population and when wars between the French and New England colonies threatened to annihilate them in their traditional lands which extended across most of northern New England, southern Quebec and the southern Maritimes, the Abenaki started to emigrate to Quebec. Before the Abenaki had contact with European settlers, their population may have been as

high as 40,000. Today, there are about 12,000 Abenaki in Canada and the United States. Daniel Richer’s native Abenaki storytelling performance at the Stittsville library, which will run from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, April 30, is restricted to adults 50 years of age and over, with registration limited to 20 people. Pre-registration is required. This native storytelling performance is being offered by the Stittsville library in partnership with the Multicultural Arts and Schools in Community (MASC) program. Registration for this program can be done online at www.biblioottawalibrary.ca, in person at the Stittsville library on Stittsville Main Street or by phone at 613-836-3381.

‘Godspell’ at Stittsville United Church New adult book club John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s a revival of the musical Godspell now playing on Broadway in New York City. But you don’t have to go to New York City to enjoy this iconic musical that first opened off Broadway in 1971 and features such songs as “Day by Day” which even made it high on the pop singles chart in 1972.

Godspell is being presented right here in Stittsville, with three shows being performed at Stittsville United Church on the weekend of April 28/29. And what’s even better is that the only admission charge is a voluntary free will offering. All seating, though, is on a first come, first served basis. The shows will be presented on Saturday, April 28 at 7

p.m.; Sunday, April 29 at 10 a.m.; and again on Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m. The musical runs almost two hours long with an intermission. This musical Godspell is the portrayal of a series of parables based on the gospel of Matthew, interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns.

The musical originated in 1970 as a master’s thesis project. It then found its way into theatres after it came to the attention of musical theatre producers. Since then, it has been performed in London, Toronto and Broadway where a revival show is now underway. There was a film version of the musical released in 1973.

EMC news - A new adult book club may be formed at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Such a club would promote the reading and discussing of books. It would allow readers to share their views about a book with others. It would allow discussion of books of mutual interest. Staff from the Stittsville library branch will be available on Monday, May 7 at 3:30 p.m. at the library on Stittsville Main Street to discuss the formation of such a new adult book club. The Stittsville library branch is located at 1637 Stittsville Main Street which is next to the Stittsville fire hall. In addition, the Stittsville library branch would like to know about any book club groups that exist in the community. This would give the library a point of contact for information about future programs conducted by authors at the Stittsville branch. Any book club groups in the community which would like to be contacted about future author readings or writers’ workshops at the Stittsville library branch should call 613-836-3381 to provide your book group information to the library for this purpose.

Author R.J. Harlick tells about her Meg Harris mysteries EMC news - There’s Golden, Red, Orange, Blue, Green and soon Silver. These are all colours that have a close connection with Ottawa mystery writer R.J. (Robin) Harlick. Each one is featured in the title of one of the books of her acclaimed Meg Harris mystery series. There’s “Death’s Golden Whisper,” her first book in 2004. “Red Ice for a Shroud” is her second book in 2006. Then there’s “The River Runs Orange,” published in 2008. This was followed by “Arctic Blue Death” in 2009 and, just recently, “A Green Place for Dying,” which came out this past February. And she is now working on her next book, entitled “Silver Totem of Shame.” Speaking at a “Writer’s Notes” presentation at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Wednesday afternoon, April 11, Ms. Harlick pointed out that all of

the titles of the books in her Meg Harris mystery series have a colour in them. At her presentation, she explained not only a little bit about each of her books, including the one she is now writing, but also gave some common threads that she tries to incorporate in the books. She knew when she first tried to write her first mystery story 15 years ago that she wanted to write about the Canadian outdoors and specifically about the West Quebec area where she had a cottage. Meg Harris, her principal character, is an escapee from Toronto, just like the author herself. Ms. Harlick has included both French Canadians and First Nations people in her books. The French Canadians allow her to play up the French/English tension that exists in Canada, adding a dynamic to her books. An Algonquin First Nations reserve is located near Meg Harris’ home in West Quebec,

allowing her to include First Nations characters and their stories in her books. She has included a native aspect in each of her books. In “Death’s Golden Whisper,” her first book, Meg Harris combines forces with the chief of the neighbouring Migiskan Reserve to fight a mining company. In “Red Ice for a Shroud,” Meg Harris sets out to provide that a young Algonquin charged with murder is innocent. She slams into a wall of police prejudice. In “The River Runs Orange,” Meg Harris, while on a whitewater paddle down a wilderness river, discovers ancient remains which the Migiskan Algonquin then declare as their own, pitting ancient beliefs against the modern archeological world. In “Arctic Blue Death,” Meg Harris travels to the Arctic to try to discover about her father who disappeared years before while flying in the Arctic.

Looking over some of the Meg Harris mystery book series written by R.J. Harlick at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Wednesday, April 11 are, from left, Rita Hamilton, Doreen McClymont, author R.J. Harlick and Kyle Bentley.

ing.” She says that she writes a scene at a time and a chapter at a time and finishes the whole book before she goes back over what she has written. She says that she does not even read what she has written until she finishes the book. “It is very much persevering,” she says about writing. Ms. Harlick writes her Meg Harris books using the first person point of view. She says that this allows her to give Meg’s interpretation of what is happening, a unique view of the world through her eyes. If the books were written in the third person, it would require more research and detail, according to Ms. Harlick, since everything would have to be described correctly. By viewing things through Meg’s eyes, things like police crime investigation techniques do not have to be exact; all that matters is what Meg sees as she watches. Ms. Harlick says that a writer has to write for the love of it and not for money since very few Canadian mystery writers make a living at it. She explained that it is a fabulous feeling that she experiences when someone sends her an email out of the blue, saying that he or she could not put the book down

Jason’s

and is looking forward to her next one. “It makes you feel yes, I’ve achieved something,” she said about the times when this happens. R.J. Harlick worked for over 25 years in the computer industry before deciding that she wanted to be a writer. Originally from Toronto, she and her husband Jim now slit their time between their home in Ottawa and a log cabin in West Quebec where she loves the untamed wilderness. Indeed, she has made this wilderness an important part of her books with almost as large a role as the main character Meg Harris. In her books, she endeavours to create action-packed plots with enough twists and turns to keep the ending a surprise. She also wanted to develop a series character that did more than solve murders. She wanted someone to whom readers could relate and someone who would grow and change with the passage of time. Meg Harris, her main character, has escaped from Toronto and a failed marriage to live in an isolated Victorian cottage near the Migiskan Algonquin First Nations Reserve.

In “A Green Place for Dying,” Meg Harris tries to find a missing native girl and encounters police resistance even when the girl turns up murdered. In this book Ms. Harlick is trying to deal with the issue of native women missing and found murdered. The Meg Harris book that Ms. Harlick is now writing “Silver Totem of Shame” will be involving the Haida of British Columbia. She said that she has decided that in every second book now, Meg Harris will be travelling to another location. It happened in “Arctic Blue Death” and it is happening in “Silver Totem of Shame.” That’s because Ms. Harlick herself loves to travel and so she can travel to do research for her books. That’s why she travelled to Vancouver and British Columbia last June to do research on the Haida and the area for the book that she is now writing. She says that a writer can read as much as possible about a place but a person does not actually get a feel for the place until the place is visited. Ms. Harlick said that she always wanted to write a mystery story and thought that it would be fun to do so but although she enjoyed writing, she did not know if she could write fiction until she started to write her first book “Death’s Golden Whisper.” She ended up having to re-write the book four times as she learned how to write fiction. Her first chapter changed four times. Now, though, she develops an idea of an outline and an underlying theme and begins to write on her computer. “Once I start writing, I write a chapter at a time,” she says. You cannot criticize your writing as you go, she says. “You just have to keep go-

Revelling in postseason civic pride

N

othing really raises widespread civic pride in large cities like sports. You see it in the little details strewn throughout the city: small flags are waving atop cars, more pedestrians are sporting red jerseys and sports bars are packed to the gunnels every other night. The Ottawa Senators evoke a sense of pride among this city’s residents that is unlike any other, swelling during

those springs when the club reaches the playoffs, placing it one step closer to glory. What often gets lost in the discussions about the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park, the fate of the Ottawa Baseball Stadium or even Eugene Melnyk’s soccer stadium fantasies is that ultimately each of these debates is about a source of civic pride. New or improved professional sporting facilities will increase the number of opportunities

Ottawans have to gather and cheer on their local heroes. Yes, Ottawa has events like Bluesfest or wonderful museums and galleries like the National Gallery that attract world-renowned performers or exhibitions, but these cultural outlets hardly inspire people to don Van Gogh T-shirts en masse nor spontaneously belt out Tragically Hip lyrics on Elgin Street. The addition of a Canadian Football League club and a

Class-AA minor league baseball team to the city’s sporting scene would substantially add to the number of opportunities to show off such pride not only in our teams but in our city. October and November need not only mark the start of the latest Senators campaign, it can be another chance to celebrate success. In 2015, a different sort of celebration will grab our attention when the FIFA Women’s World Cup comes to town, offering the

world the chance to see our beautiful city. This will be a rare opportunity afforded by the presence of sport, one that cannot be easily replicated, if it can be at all. Not only do sporting events bring people out to the stadiums, they also draw people out of their homes to congregate – either with friends and family at other homes or out at restaurants and bars. With so many opportunities to interact with people via social

media, the communal nature of watching a sporting event drags people out of their own living room like nothing else. This can only be a good thing for Ottawa. There are pitfalls to hosting high profile sporting events – will people come out to watch? – and to professional sports clubs, as many longtime residents of this city are well aware. But as we’re reminded with the Senators, who missed the playoffs last season, it is far better to be in the game than it is to be sitting on the sidelines and a stadium represents much more than a bunch of bricks and mortar, steel and concrete.

COLUMN

Sorry? Just buy an ad CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

T

he Toronto Maple Leafs, ever the innovators, have come up with an idea that may be widely imitated, not only in sports but across the entire range of human activity. Obviously, this has nothing to do with anything that happens on the ice. Rather it relates to the innovative way that Leafs management dealt with the terrible season just concluded. Management, in the person of Larry Tannenbaum, chairman of the board, took out full page ads in Toronto newspapers to publish a letter of apology to fans of the hockey team. “We have fallen short of everyone’s expectations, and for that we are sorry,� the open letter says. “We take full responsibility for how this team performs on the ice, and we make no excuses. The way this year ended was unacceptable.� It is a shame that the letter was not published in Ottawa editions, because it would have been fun for Senators fans to read. The letter goes on in an interesting way, by suggesting that the horrible season was not really anyone’s fault, or certainly not management’s: “Ownership believes in the plan for the Maple Leafs,� the letter says, adding “passion, hard work and accountability will always be the hallmarks of our organization.� So the plan was good and everybody worked hard and was accountable and passionate. Somehow it didn’t work out. “The Toronto Maple Leafs are privileged to have such passionate and loyal fans. We do not take that for granted. Our entire organization

wants nothing more than to deliver a team that makes you proud.� Better minds than ours can analyze the hockey aspects of all this. What is of interest here is the concept of public apology and its possible future uses. Might it not, for example, aid Ottawa city council in its city planning efforts to take out the occasional full-page ad to explain why your neighbourhood suddenly looks like hell: “Ottawa city council wants nothing more than to deliver a neighbourhood that makes you proud. We believe in the plan for your neighbourhood. However, the 27-storey building that replaced the corner store falls short of everyone’s expectations, although it exceeds the developer’s.� The hospitals might drop us a line every once in a while: “The Ottawa Hospital is passionate about providing ample parking for visitors and inpatients, with the exception of on the street and in our parking garage which is always full and very expensive when it is not. We have fallen short of expectations but we believe in our plan and make no excuses and remind you to leave an hour early for appointments just in case.� You can see how useful this device can be. As an interesting side-effect, all those full-page ads would do wonders for the ailing newspaper industry. It’s a win-win, really. And there is also no reason why individuals could not take advantage as well. “As an individual I am passionate about cleaning up after my dog and I believe in my plan for doing so. However, my dog recently fell short of everyone’s expectations, and for that we, Rover and I, are sorry. The mess in the park was unacceptable, but we are committed to delivering grass that you can walk on.� But it’s unreasonable to expect an ordinary citizen to take out a full-page ad. Something smaller would do for such offences as not letting you in on the Queensway or crunching your popcorn bag too loudly in the multiplex. The community just needs to know that you are genuinely sorry, and also passionate.

20 th Annual

Wins of 6-3 and 4-3 took the Rams to the next round where they skated against the Osgoode Rideau Romans who had finished the regular season in sixth place. This was a physical series but the Rams again prevailed with 4-0 and 4-2 wins to sweep the series. The Rams then faced the Blackburn Wild in the championship final series. During the regular season, the Blackburn squad had handed the Rams

two of their three losses. So, although the Wild finished the regular season in fourth place, you knew that they played tough against the Rams. But the Rams came out flying in the final series, winning the opening game 5-1 and then backing up this victory with a 5-3 win on the Wild’s home ice. So it was back to the Bell Sensplex where the Rams had a chance to finish off the Wild and this is just what the Rams

did, winning 2-1 and capturing the playoff championship. With this victory, the Stittsville Rams added the playoff championship to their regular season title. In addition, the season saw the Rams win two tournaments and reach the finals in another. All in all, it was just an unbelievable season, with the Rams playing a total of 61 games, winning a whopping 47 of them while losing only seven games and tying another seven games.

Unity Cross at Sacred Heart High School John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Sacred Heart Catholic High School has now experienced the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Unity Cross. This is a specially-made and designed wooden cross that is travelling to each and every one of the Board’s 82 schools over a two year period. Already over a year and a half into this journey, the Unity Cross arrived at Sacred Heart on Holy Thursday, April 5, coming from its last school, St. George Catholic School in Ottawa. The Unity Cross was at Sacred Heart through the Easter weekend and on through Wednesday, April 11 when it left the school on its journey to its next school, St. Anne Catholic School in Kanata. At Sacred Heart, the Unity Cross was located in the school chapel where classes and students visited to learn about the Unity Cross and its role in enhancing the faith experience of both students and staff at Board schools. It was in the spring of 2010 that a group of educators, chaplains, principals and par-

ents gathered to try to envision a new way of animating the Board’s new spiritual theme, “Though Many, We Are One Body in Christ.” The conversation came around to the use of symbols as a source for catechetical experiences, enriching faith and enhancing prayer. It was felt that the arts could be a very powerful tool for doing this. Geoff Guitard, a chaplaincy leader with the Board and also an artist, began to formulate an idea for creating a symbol that would deepen faith and connect school communities throughout the Board’s jurisdiction. Thoughts turned to creating a cross with connections to scripture but one that would be appealing to all students, both elementary and secondary. Mr. Guitard developed some sketches for consideration and in the end, his artist’s eye and faith filled heart created the Unity Cross, a symbol that has developed as a link between schools and communities within the Board. A school receives the Unity Cross for about three days and shares the experience with its

students and staff in its own way, such as with liturgies, prayers, catechetical activities and connections to the curriculum including visual art, writing and reading. Each school prepares a gift and message to send to the next school. The gift is meant to reflect the school community. Each school also contributes to a photo journey that is kept in a drawer at the base of the Unity Cross. Students can look at the journey of the Unity Cross through the schools via this photographic record. The Unity Cross includes a slot in which students and staff can insert intentions and prayers. The Unity Cross features a number of paintings on its surface, outlining various scripture passages such as The Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes, Pentecost, The Road to Emmaus and the Beatitudes. These paintings surround an icon of the face of Jesus Christ. A door at the front of the Unity Cross opens for school communities to insert their gift and message for the next school community.

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and JJ’s will present their spring concert “Celtic Connections” on Saturday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 6 at 1:30 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church on Abbeyhill Drive in Kanata. Siamsa Singers from Montreal will be special guests. Tickets at $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and children 12 and under and $35 for a family of four are available by calling 613-726-9267 or checking www.gjsingers.com

Second anniversary for Urban Tags John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Free cupcakes. Need I say more? But, of course, there is a lot more to say because free cupcakes are just one small, albeit delicious, part of the celebrations being planned for this Saturday, April 21 at the Urban Tags consignment shop at the Dinardo Plaza (Mac’s plaza) at the corner of Hobin Street and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville marking the shop’s second anniversary in business.

It is two years ago this month that Tara Gemmill opened Urban Tags consignment shop, offering women and teens an alternative to high prices for brand name clothing and accessories. Tara took the leap into business two years ago and she hasn’t looked back since, although she readily admits that it has not been easy, with growing pains, finding her niche in the community and balancing her busy family life with four teenagers with her new business. In addition, the

precarious economy and the presence of big box competitors have been challenging but Tara remains optimistic about the future. That’s because she knows that the community is becoming more educated about consignment shops and many are now embracing the concept of gently recycled items where prices simply can’t be beat and customers really appreciate savings. One reason for Tara’s optimism is the fact that teens are becoming part of Urban Tags’ growing clientele.

Teens appreciate paying less than half price for top brand name clothing like Lululemon, Bench, TNA, Silver, Coach and more. In addition, teens want to reduce waste in any way that they can, so buying a nearly new item for less works for them. Urban Tags can also meet their needs. Right now, for instance, Urban Tags has in season and trendy items for teens including prom dresses, shorts, capris, summer tops, fashionable purses and more. But for Tara, being in busi-

ness also involves giving back to the community. To her, this is simply being socially responsible and doing her part. That’s why Urban Tags donated clothing on a regular basis to non-profit organizations and also contributes gifts and more to local school and church fundraisers in the community. Tara, along with her family and staff, are most appreciative of the support which Urban Tags has received over the past two years and wish to thank the Stittsville community for its patronage and is looking forward to many more years of serving the community in the future.

But, right now, the focus is on the shop’s second anniversary celebration this coming Saturday, April 21. There will not only be free cupcakes for all who drop in but there will be free gifts being given away. In addition, there will be special discounts on purchases that day. Urban Tags consignment shop can be contacted at 613-831-8247 or via email at info@urbantags.ca Its website is at www.urbantags.ca Urban Tags is on facebook where news of sales, promotions and special events are posted.

Coffee house for youth John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Last Friday’s Stittsville youth connexion-sponsored coffee house followed the traditional pattern of coffee houses with solo singers performing except for the youthful dance duo of Shelby Morris and Ashley Daughtrey. But they did their singing, as it were, with their feet as their energetic, self-created dance routine launched the second half of the coffee house program. They ended their robust routine with a joint leap off the front of the stage, an attention-grabbing exclamation point to their performance. The rest of the coffee house, held in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena with over 40 in attendance, featured an assortment of singer performers, ranging from the creative Nicholas Maillet to the song stylings of singers Jacqueline Tilgner, Nicholas Kuzmochka and Kristyn Cooke to the applause-generating performance of singer/guitar player Jessica Crozier to the windup offerings of singer Josh Charbot who accompanied himself not only on the guitar but also with the harmonica or mouth organ. Nicholas Maillet got the coffee house underway just after 7 p.m., performing four songs while accompanying himself on the guitar, including two of his own compositions, one that he wrote a few weeks ago and another that he had just finished writing the night before. He was followed on stage by 12 year old singer Jacqueline Tilgner, armed just with her voice that not only got the audience involved with some rhythmic arm waving but also got it emotionally captured with her rendition of what she called one of her all-time favourite songs, Regina Spektor’s “The Call.� Singer Nicholas Kuzmochka, who followed Jacqueline, began with Steve Earle’s “Galway Girl� song and followed this up with “Falling Slowly,� the song that won the 2008 Academy Award for Best Original Song in the film

“Once.� He finished up his trio of songs before giving way to the show-opening Nicholas Maillet who took the crowd to the intermission with one more song. After the dance routine by Shelby Morris and Ashley Daughtrey opened up the coffee house’s second half, Jessica Crozier , accompanying herself on the guitar, sang, followed by singer Kristyn Cooke who got the audience involved in some arm waving during her performance. It was then left to Josh Charbot to wrap up. Armed with his guitar and his harmonica, he got the audience going with his rousing opening song, followed up with his rendition of a 1960’s Bob Dylan song which was ideal since both are guitar/harmonica performers. He included a couple of his own compositions among his remaining song offerings including a couple that will be including on his upcoming new album. He ended with “Travelin’ Solder,� the Dixie Chicks’ number one hit in 2002. Coffee houses like this one are held by Stittsville’s youth connexion program to give local youth an opportunity to perform and entertain. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri attended the coffee house.

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Wonder Woman John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The jokes, both of the “knock, knock” variety and otherwise, helped Holy Humour Sunday at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond live up to its name last Sunday. But it was when fiction became fact with the appearance of Wonder Woman that this second annual Holy Humour Sunday became memorable. This happened early in the service, just after minister Rev. Carla Van Delen had walked up the aisle in costume, accompanied by a gaggle of youngsters in costume and ringing bells and shaking noisemakers, an appropriate beginning to a service focused on humour and fun. But before Rev. Van Delen could launch into the service proper, up the aisle rode, yes, rode on a bicycle a costumed Isabel Thompson. Parking her bicycle and enlisting the assistance of fellow humour conspirator Judy Wagdin, Isabel proceeded to deck Rev. Van Delen out in the garb of Wonder Woman, arguably the most popular and iconic female superhero in comics. This included a red cape, her star-emblazoned belt, her power bracelets, her tiara and her lasso of truth. “Wow, don’t I feel powerful today,” Rev. Van Delen, an admitted Wonder Woman fan, commented after her makeover by Isabel and Judy. “I just love my cape,” she said a little later, getting used to it. The fun, though, was just beginning. First up was an appearance by

Coco, a hand puppet which Rev. Van Delen used to tell a story to youngsters assembled at the front of the church before they departed for their Sunday School class. And then the “knock, knock” jokes and other jokes started to prevail. Dave Pearen, who handled the scripture readings, led off with a “knock, knock” joke. “Knock, knock. Who’s there? Rita. Rita who? Read a bible if you want to hear the good news.” OK, it’s a groaner but that’s the nature of “knock, knock” jokes and, besides, it gave good advice. After the singing of “Hark The Herald Angel Said,” sung to the tune of the Christmas favourite “Hark The Herald Angels Sing,” the choir and then members of the congregation were able to share jokes. People learned, for instance, what retirees call a long lunch (Normal). And, before Rev. Van Delen delivered her meditation for the service, there was another “knock, knock” joke – Knock, knock. Who’s there? Gladys. Gladys who? Glad it’s Sunday, aren’t you? In her meditation, Rev. Van Delen explained that Holy Humour Sunday, a tradition that goes back as far as the fourth century, is a way of extending the time for people to experience the joy of Easter. She said that God also provides humour to the world to help people through times of pain and suffering. A joyous rendition of the traditional spiritual song “Dem Bones or Dry Bones” (the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone, etc.) by the

choir followed the meditation. Another humour break followed in which the congregation heard a “Forest Gump entering heaven” joke. He had to take an entrance exam from St. Peter which he passed, although his answers were somewhat different. He named two days that start with “T” as today and tomorrow. In answer to a question about how many seconds there are in a year, he responded 12 – Jan. 2nd, Feb. 2nd, etc. And he knew God’s first name which he said was “Andy,” based

on the hymn “And He (Andy) walks with me.” And there was even a “knock knock” joke delivered before the collection, one which related to it. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Philip. Philip who? Fill up the plate as it is passed to you. Final prayers for those who are ill or to undergo treatment also included a prayer of thanks for the Ottawa Senators winning the night before. The prayers also included thanks for the gift of laughter.

A closing hymn “I’ve Got Peace Like A River”, complete with appropriate hand movements, closed the service, although there was still one last “knock, knock” joke as Rev. Van Delen wrapped it up. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Luke. Luke who? Look all around you and see the smiles on your neighbours. Even Rev. Van Delen a.k.a. Wonder Woman acknowledged the true nature of this last “knock, knock” joke. “That was really bad,” she commented.

A Pool Table Or a Natural Remedy For Sleep and Snoring? How much Tiger is in your tank as you start the day? Not much, if you’ve been tossing and turning at night due to sleep apnea. Or, if your partner has shaken the foundation, with his or her snoring. Insomnia and snoring affect millions of North Americans and can be associated with serious health problems. Now, a natural remedy, “Bell Sound Sleep”, helps these troubling problems. You’re in excellent company if you suffer from insomnia. Napoleon, Sir Isaac Newton, Winston Churchill and Thomas Edison all tried to count sheep without success. Others, such as Marilyn Monroe, used increasing amounts of prescription sleeping pills, with tragic results.

years to determine what, if any, medical conditions resulted from insomnia. This showed that women who slept for 5 hours had a 39 percent increased risk of heart attack, compared to those who had 8 hours of sleep. Sleep apnea, in which breathing temporarily stops several times during the night, poses other problems. During these episodes a decreased amount of oxygen reaches the brain triggering increased blood pressure and a more rapid heart rate. If this occurs night after night the risk of heart attack and stroke rises.

Sleep deprivation can also have far-reaching consequences for our environment. It’s believed to have been a factor in the crash and oil spill by both the Exon Valdez and the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Insomnia also has an impact on today’s epidemic of diabetes. University of Chicago researchers required a group of young men to sleep just 4 hours a night. This caused an increase in blood sugar, a decrease in the hormone insulin, and a 40 percent decrease in the rate sugar was removed from the blood.

So how many hours of sleep do we need? There’s no magic number for everyone. Alexander The Great probably won many battles because he needed little sleep and could “cat nap”. But most people require seven to eight hours to function well.

Sleep debt also increases the appetite and food consumption. It’s believed that the hormone leptin gives us a good feeling when we’ve had sufficient food. But insomnia decreases the amount of leptin causing a craving for food, particularly carbohydrates.

Researchers believe sleep allows the body to prepare itself for another day. If this doesn’t happen due to chronic insomnia, the risk of a number of health problems is increased. For instance, the Nurses Health Study at The Harvard Medical School followed 70,000 nurses for 10

Studies done at the University of California show that tossing and turning at night also puts the immune system at risk. Researchers found that healthy men, deprived of partial sleep for just one night, have a less effective immune system the following day. Their natural killer cells to

fight infections and cancer were compromised. So what’s the best treatment for insomnia? Napoleon believed he could sleep only if his feet were pointing south. W.C. Fields, the comedian, used to seek sleep in a barber’s chair, or on a pool table. U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt, had a shot of cognac in a glass of milk, an improvement over a pool table. Still others need a warm bath before retiring, a cool room, staying up later or reading a book. And some resort to expensive pressurized masks attached to a machine. These are uncomfortable and cumbersome and many users learn to hate them. The best approach to insomnia and snoring is to keep it simple, particularly since studies show that 45 percent of the population have this problem. It makes no sense to take prescription drugs, when a natural product, “Bell Sound Sleep” is available. “Bell Sound Sleep” is approved by Health Canada and contains melatonin, camomille, fleur de la passion, skulcap and valeriane, all natural ingredients, is inexpensive and can be obtained in most health food stores in Canada and the U.S. Or from www.belllifestyleproducts.com. The suggested dosage is 4 capsules initially. This can be reduced to 3 or 2 capsules as sleeping habits improve. Don’t forget that silence at night will change your life and that of your partner. Besides a capsule is better than sleeping in a barber’s chair or on a pool table.

Domestic violence, suicide strike family Special to the News

EMC news - Stittsville was rocked last week on the news that a Stittsville husband had badly beaten his wife in their Hartsmere Drive home and had then taken his own life at the Stony Swamp Conservation Area. Peter Lefebvre, 43, who had been active in minor hockey circles in Stittsville, had called the police at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, April 11, re-

porting that he had beaten his wife in their home. His dead body was later found after an extensive police search of the Conservation Area where he had been tracked. Theresa Lefebvre was found badly beaten in the home and was taken to hospital where she has remained in critical condition. On the Wednesday afternoon, yellow police tape surrounded the Hartsmere Drive

home, with a police ofďŹ cer on guard and ďŹ ve police cruisers parked on the street. Two sons, both students at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville, were at the school at the time of the incident. They have since been staying with relatives. A candlelight vigil in support of the family was being planned by Sacred Heart students and Holy Spirit Catholic Church for Thursday evening,

she said, adding that Stittsville residents do not expect this kind of violence to erupt in the community. SVA director Tim LaPlante, who owns the Sobeys in Stittsville, sadly related that Theresa Lefebvre worked as an assistant manager for him in another store at one time. SVA director Theresa Qadri, who noted that Peter Lefebvre had been involved with minor hockey in Stitts-

April 12 but it was cancelled to respect the privacy of the family. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) executive, at its meeting on Thursday evening, April 12, expressed support for the Lefebvre family in this tragic situation. “It’s a really tragic, tragic situation,â€? said SVA president Marilyn Jenkins. “We are sending our thoughts to the family. It’s a difďŹ cult period,â€?

ville, said that her brother-inlaw had worked with him for years in the grocery business. A Mass of Christian Funeral for Peter Lefebvre is being held this Thursday, April 19 at 10 a.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road in Stittsville. Donations to the Nicholas and Kyle Trust Fund at TD Canada Trust in Stittsville would be appreciated by the family.

Yoga Day on April 28 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Talk about a win/win situation. You can’t beat the Yoga Day for Human Rights that is happening at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall in Richmond on Saturday, April 28. You win because you can participate in one or more hour long yoga classes taught by certified yoga instructors. This means you can try out classical Hatha yoga or Power yoga or Sivananda yoga or Yin yoga. But, more than this, you can get to experience a teacher that perhaps you have not had before or perhaps one who you have heard about but never studied with. For instance, Peter Beacham who used to teach yoga in Richmond is well known in local yoga circles. You can get to experience Sivananda yoga and its unique moves under his tutelage. It could be a once in a lifetime opportunity. But here’s the even better part. It is all going to cost you only ten dollars for the one hour class. And it’s not even payment in advance – just show up that day at the time that you want for the class that you want, pay your ten dollars and you’re in. Sound like a great deal. It sure is. But it gets even better. All of the funds raised by this Yoga Day for Human Rights is going to Amnesty International to help with its work protecting human rights around the world. This year’s Yoga Day event will focus specifically on raising awareness of women’s rights activists in Iran. So, you get a one hour yoga class with one of several qualified and experienced instructors for only ten dollars, with the knowledge that your ten dollars is going to help Amnesty International. Did we say it’s a “win/win” situation? You bet. This Yoga Day is also providing a good opportunity for children to try yoga out. Kathy Gagne-Dubord will be conducting

a special children’s yoga class for those aged 6 to 12. If you have a child or children who would like to try yoga, this is the time to do it. And it’s even a better deal than for the adult class. The children’s yoga class will cost only five dollars per child. It doesn’t get any better than this. And, again, the funds go to Amnesty International to support its human rights work around the globe. The schedule of classes for Yoga Day for Human Rights at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street in Richmond on Saturday, April 28 will be as follows: 9 a.m. – Classical Hatha Yoga with instructor Sharon McMullen; 10:15 a.m. – Power Yoga with instructor Camilla d’Entremont; 11:30 a.m. – Sivananda Yoga with instructor Peter Beacham; 12:45 p.m. – Blend of Three Styles of Hatha with instructor Don Caldwell; 2 p.m. – Yin Yoga with instructor Lia Pireli; 3:15 p.m. – Children’s Yoga with instructor Kathy Gagne-Dubord; and 4:30 p.m. – Hatha Yoga with instructor Karen Nickleson. For more information please phone 613-8389643 or email info@saintjohnsrichmond.ca You can also check out the website at www. saintjohnsrichmond.ca/events.htm This is the fourth year that Yoga Day has had a nation-wide focus. It grew out of a single Amnesty International volunteer’s passion for human rights and a desire to make a difference. A few years after the first Yoga Day organized by Louise Mulvihill and yoga enthusiasts in ottawa, yoga studios all across Canada are now joining together on this annual Yoga Day to raise money for human rights and to increase awareness of human rights issues. The yellow lotus has been chosen as the symbol for Yoga Day. Just as the Amnesty International candle shines a light on human rights abuses, the yellow lotus represents a unique opportunity to create positive change in the lives of others.

My morning began working with the Executive Director of Kingsway, Faiza Abdulla. After meeting the staff, I spent the bulk of the morning taking blood, analyzing urine samples and I even performed an EKG on a willing patient, all under the watchful eye of Faize, of course. An interesting experience to say the least, I owe a big thanks to the patient that allowed me to take part in the EKG. The afternoon was spent with Dr. Abdulla as I sat in on several appointments and even helped out on a minor surgery. I was surprised at the similarities between this and my own job in terms of every day being different and that deďŹ nitely adds excitement to both jobs. In every job, I try to connect my experience to my role as Councillor and with health care not necessarily falling under the City of Ottawa’s jurisdiction; this was one of the more difďŹ cult experiences to do so. However, Kingsway Health Centre’s owners Dr. Ali & Faiza Abdulla do a lot more than just work in Manotick. Faiza’s father is Hassan Ismail, owner of Quality Cleaners, and her sister, Salima, owns and operates Chiromax, meaning she has spent much of her life in the Manotick area. The Abdulla’s also give back in many ways involving themselves in the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Weekend to End Breast Cancer, and the Rideau Seniors Support Centre (now known as ROSSS). In addition to this, they help train foreign born physicians develop the skills necessary to become family physicians and enter the Canadian health care system. For their work, Dr. Abdulla and his wife, Faiza, were honoured in 2009 with the United Way Community Builder of the Year award. So, while it was very interesting to take a hands-on role in their practice, it was even more enlightening to get to know Ali & Faiza, true community leaders in Rideau-Goulbourn. Councillor For Hire #10 is scheduled for late May and it will take me to the Robert O. Pickard Environmental Centre, otherwise known as the place that processes all of our sewer and septic waste. Cleaning the Capital Spring cleaning is right around the corner for the many communities in Rideau-Goulbourn and many groups are taking part in the City of Ottawa’s Cleaning the Capital program. There are 21 groups registered from RideauGoulbourn, including the Richmond Village Association cleaning up Richmond on the 28th of April and Manotick Kiwanis tackling the village of Manotick the following Saturday. In North Gower, my wife signed up a team and named it “Glorify the Gowerâ€? of which, I’ll be taking part as well. If anyone wishes to join our team, we’ll be walking the streets of North Gower on Saturday, April 28th. Please email me at Scott.Moffatt@ottawa.ca if you want to help out. Goulbourn Jubilee Singers The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and JJ’s will perform their spring concerts ‘Celtic Connections’, on Saturday, May 5, 2012, 7:30pm, and Sunday, May 6, 2012, 1:30pm at Glen Cairn United Church, 140 Abbeyhill Road, Kanata. Directed by Linda Crawford, accompanied by Doll Creelman, and special guests the ‘Siamsa Singers’ from Montreal, directed by Sarah Burnell, the choirs will perform traditional Celtic favourites. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and children 12 and under, $35 for family of four. Call Sandy at 613-726-9267 or visit www.gjsingers.com.

NEW CLINIC!

Another month and another Councillor for Hire adventure as I spent Thursday, April 12th at the Kingsway Health Centre in Manotick. Kingsway’s medical director, Dr. Aly Abdulla was one of the ďŹ rst to invite me to work for him after I announced the Councillor For Hire idea. After wondering just exactly I would be doing for that last few months, this job ended up being more hands on than I expected.

When you walk he’ll walk when you sit he’ll be on your lap asking for his pay cheque in the form of cuddles and hugs and kisses. If you ask him it is a very good payment system in which both parties get what they want. He is playful, affectionate and always happy to see a human anytime any where and he’ll demonstrate his love to anyone who gives him the time of the day. If you want some one to love you without reservation and be always by your side he is ready and able to fulfill your wishes.... all that love he has is ready to be given away... maybe to YOU????

‘Roll out the barrel’ time on April 28th John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It will soon be “roll out the barrel” time in Stittsville. Not, we are not talking about singing “Beer Barrel Polka,” that song that was popular with soldiers in World War Two and became a signature song of Liberace and is now sung during the seventh inning stretch at Milwaukee Brewers’ ball games, with its iconic “Roll Out The Barrel” phrase. Rather, we are talking about delivery day for the rain barrel sale being held by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). It’s coming up on Saturday, April 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot at Sobeys in Stittsville. That’s when a truckload of these rain barrels will be arriving and will be unloaded, ready for pickup by those who have ordered them. So far about 250 have been ordered and it is expected that the 300 that will be in the truckload will all be sold by the delivery date. That’s because the SVA is still pushing their sale. SVA president Marilyn Jenkins and SVA secretary Tanya Hein are both going to be handing out flyers about the rain barrel sale in various Stittsville neighbourhoods this week to try to sell the remaining 50

barrels. In addition, a display of the rain barrels at the Sobeys store is going to be revamped to remind people of the impending delivery date. The SVA may even set up a table at Sobeys to take orders for the remaining barrels. But, of course, the easiest way to get one or more of these rain barrels is to go online at http://rainbarrel.ca/ stittsville or to call Tanya Hein at 613-686-1842 and she will arrange for your rain barrel or barrels. On pickup day on Saturday, April 28, the SVA will have volunteers on site to unload the barrels and ensure that all of the accessories are with each barrel. These rain barrels are available in grey, terra cotta and black colours at a cost of $55 each. Besides a 220 litre/55 U.S. gallon barrel, a purchaser will receive a filter basket, a spigot, a nipple, an over flow adaptor and four feet of overflow hose. This is a fundraising initiative for the SVA, with the organization receiving $10 from the sale of each barrel. The funds raised will be used by the SVA to support community events such as the Canada Day celebration, Villagefest, the Christmas Parade of Lights and the Artists and Authors in the Park event.

Local real estate agencies are also partnering with the RVA again this year for this Richmond Wide Garage Sale Day, providing garage sale signs for use by residents in advertising their sale location on Garage Sale Day, Saturday, May 12. Residents will be able to stop by at the four participating agencies starting on Tuesday, May 1 and pick up a garage sale sign to place

It is expected that this year will follow this trend, especially if more and more residents decide to take part and have a garage sale on this particular day. After all, “the more, the merrier� is the age-old saying and this really applies to this upcoming Richmond Wide Garage Sale Day – having many participate will attract more shoppers and everyone will end up selling more. It’s a win/win situation for everyone, including the shoppers who will be in seventh heaven with so many sales to visit.

SVA giving away, selling soap boxes John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) is going to sell its soap boxes but not before it offers to give away three of them. The Manotick Village Community Association is interested in acquiring the soap boxes as the Association holds a soap box derby. The SVA has agreed to sell the soap boxes to the Manotick organization at a cost of $100 per soap box but first, the SVA wants to offer a soap box free to three local possible recipients. One soap box will be offered to the family of the late Mike O’Rourke who was instrumental in re-starting the soap box derby in Stittsville several years ago after it had not been held for a number of years. Stittsville did hold a soap box derby annually for

over two decades, starting in 1971. Mr. O’Rourke not only got the soap box derby going again as part of the annual Villagefest activities in Stittsville but also he used his woodworking skills to build the wooden vehicles. This was done thanks to the generous financial support of Turpin Chev-Olds. The SVA will also be offering a soap box free to the Goulbourn Museum for its artifact collection if the Museum wants it. In addition, the SVA has decided to offer a soap box free to Karter’s Korners, the gocart track south of Stittsville, for display purposes provided it is displayed with a sign acknowledging the SVA. The SVA is grateful for the support of Karter’s Korners over the years and believes that giving Karter’s Korners one

of the soap boxes would be a fitting gesture to reflect its appreciation of this support. If these soap box offers are not accepted, then the soap boxes will be sold with the others to the Manotick Village Community Association, provided the selling price of $100 per soap box is acceptable to the Manotick organization. The SVA did not hold the soap box derby last September and has decided not to be involved with the activity in the future. Storage of the soap boxes has been a challenge for the SVA, bringing about the desire to sell them. SVA president Marilyn Jenkins told the SVA executive at its April meeting on Thursday, April 19 that the condition of the soap boxes is a little suspect because of their storage in the railway station building at Village Square where they

EMC news - A number of changes are being made to OC Transpo bus routes in Stittsville as of June 24/25. In addition, other changes may be forthcoming in September but this will depend on discussions at a public meeting which city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri will be holding to consider additional changes. The changes that will be taking place this June are aimed at providing full day bus service to Scotiabank Place and its park and ride lot, thus alleviating some of the pressure on the Eagleson Park & Ride facility. The changes are also aimed at improving the efficiency of bus service in the Stittsville area. These changes have been developed with the help of public input which was received at a public meeting in the community on Wednesday, March 21. The changes being made this june are increased service on route 262, meaning 11 trips to downtown in the morning peak period and 11 return trips during the afternoon peak period. All trips on the 262 will operate to and from the Fernbank and Liard/Hartsmere location. All of these trips will also go past the Carp Road park and ride lot. All trips on route 96 in Stittsville will travel via Carp Road and Hazeldean Road rather than go along Stittsville Main Street in front of Brown’s Your Independent Grocer. This will provide better bus access to the residential and shopping areas north of Hazeldean Road and west of Carp Road.

Trips on route 96 from Stittsville to downtown will stop at both the Terry Fox station and the Eagleson Station. Route 96A will provide regular trips from Scotiabank Place to downtown, stopping at both the Terry Fox and Eagleson Stations. Route 96C will provide direct trips from Stittsville to downtown. The morning trips will bypass Terry Fox Station and bus stops on Katimavik Road. Afternoon trips will bypass bus stops on Katimavik but all trips will serve the Eagleson Station. Route 96A will provide new Monday to Friday all-day service to and from Scotiabank Place, improving access to the park and ride lot there. Routes 163 and 183 will be eliminated, being replaced by improved service on other routes. No changes are being made to routes 261 or 263. Stittsville Village Association director David Jenkins, commenting on these bus service changes for Stittsville at the Association’s April meeting on Thursday, April 19, noted that there are still some problems with regard to bus service in Stittsville. He noted that route 96 really only serves residents adjacent to and east of Stittsville Main Street, adding that there is no daily bus service in the West Ridge Drive area of Stittsville. He pointed out that the Jackson Trails area and the Fairwinds area of Stittsville receive no daily bus service even though residents there, like all residents of Stittsville now, are paying the full OC Transpo tax rate.

Hard-nosed defence marks Blue Devils Special to the News

EMC sports - They’re a devil of a group when it comes to defence. The Goulbourn Basketball Association’s Blue Devils in the Atom Girls’ Division played a hard-nosed brand of defence from day one. Although they were often the smaller team on the court, the Blue Devils repeatedly frustrated their opponents with their defence. It worked because the Blue Devils went through the season without losing a single game.

Coaches Ajai Puri and Mark Bujaki were impressed with how quickly the players absorbed the principles of playing tough defence in basketball. They never backed down, especially once they learned that a defender had rights to space on the court too. While working hard all season long, the players also always had bright smiles both on and off the court. The Blue Devils proved to be a fun-loving group but when they hit the court, they were all business and tough defenders.

Silver Seven Major Atom A’s capture OEMHL playoff title Special to the News

EMC sports - It meant beating the ďŹ rst place ďŹ nishers in the regular season but the Ottawa Valley Silver Seven Major Atom A White team did it! The Silver Seven squad defeated the Ottawa Sting, the regular season winners, to capture the Ontario East Minor Hockey League (OEMHL) playoff championship. It was no small feat as the Silver Seven players found themselves in a hard-fought series against the Ottawa Sting. Each game of the se-

ries was either tied or decided by a single goal, it was that close! The deciding sixth game of the series was just as tight as all the rest of the series, with the Silver Seven emerging with a 6-5 victory and the OEMHL playoff championship banner. This playoff championship capped off a successful and fun season for the Silver Seven Major Atom A White team. Ottawa Valley Silver Seven teams draw their players from across the area including Stittsville.

‘Country Rocks Richmond Dance and Concert’ Special to the News

Country music fans will not want to miss a spring concert in Richmond that promises to hit just the right note – and a Canadian note at that. The ‘Country Rocks Richmond Dance and Concert’ at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre arena this Saturday, April 21 will feature Canadian country music performer Aaron Pritchett. His concert will be preceded by an opening party and dance with the Mick Armitage Band, a popular Ottawa area group. Tickets for the Richmond event are now available through ticketscene.ca or by telephoning Dale Greene in Richmond at 613-838-3420, Armitage at 613-226-9178 or Chelsea O’Connor at 613880-5559. Tickets will also be on sale at the Mom-2-Mom Sale being hosted by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds beside the Richmond arena this coming Saturday, April 21 from 9 a.m. until noon. The program is being produced by Ottawa-based Northern Star Management with the doors opening at 7 p.m. The venture is being held in conjunction with the Richmond Agricultural Society of which Dale Greene is the general manager and secretary. The Richmond arena is located at the Richmond fairgrounds and camping can also be arranged by calling Greene. The overnight rate is $20 and that includes a serviced site. Morgan Adams of Northern Star says the Richmond show is the first he has produced in the west Ottawa community. He says it is in line with his policy of putting Canadian entertainers first! “I try to stick with Canadian talent. I am very big on promoting the Canadian music scene,” Adams says. He says the location will make it easy for people from

across Ottawa to attend. Richmond is quickly accessible from anywhere in the city as well as from points west including eastern Lanark County such as Carleton Place, Beckwith township and the Town of Mississippi Mills. There will be plenty of parking available on site! Area music fans are familiar with the Mick Armitage Band who will open the Richmond venture. “We guarantee to make you dance and kick up your heels,” says leader Mick Armitage. “We aim to get the audience involved and we usually invite someone on-stage to sing or dance,” he says. Armitage says his fivemember band plays mainly Top 40 Rock classics along with some rhythm and blues and with “a wee bit of country thrown in for good measure.” Headliner Aaron Pritchett is no stranger to Canadian country music fans as the 41year-old native of Terrace, British Columbia is known on both sides of the 49th parallel. The entertainer has toured with some of the greats in the business including Alan Jackson, Toby Keith and Brooks and Dunn. He has also recorded numerous top hits and music videos and has earned many accolades and awards during a career that stretches back to 1996. In 2007 Pritchett won Canadian County Music Association (CCMA) awards for Independent Male Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for his popular “anthem” Hold My Beer. “His passion and intensity on stage, coupled with his unwavering dedication to fans sets him apart from other acts and has helped solidify his success,” Pritchett’s website stresses. His fifth album, ‘In the Driver’s Seat’, was released in the fall of 2010. It is described as having “more serious themes.” Included are

such compositions as ‘Coming Clean’ and ‘She’s Goin’ Somewhere’ which concertgoers in Richmond are sure to enjoy! The pre-publicity for the recent album noted that Pritchett “brings back the high energy, rock and roll sounds everyone loves” in songs such as ‘Pinch’ and ‘Light it Up.’ “For the first time Aaron oversaw all aspects of the album, writing or co-writing almost every song,” his publicist states. “His involvement ensured a true depiction of the kind of music he’s always wanted to

make. “It’s called ‘In the Driver’s Seat’ because for the first time in his career Aaron called the shot to make sure fans got what they want to hear.” Pritchett grew up in northern B.C. and his earliest musical influence was 1980s rock. He got his start at a country cabaret bar in Pit Meadows where he was a disc jockey and then performed cover tunes with the house band. Eventually he independently produced some of his own songs, releasing compact discs one of which was entitled ‘Young in Love’.

A local radio station picked up his songs and with more exposure he produced music videos which won air-time on CMT Canada. Other albums include Consider This (2002) and Something Goin’ on Here (2003) which were released by Royalty Records and Big Wheel (2006) recorded with the OPM Records label. He was later signed by 604 Records, the production company of Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, where he made the 2008 album Thankful. His latest recording was released by Decibel Records.

Past favourites include such songs as New Frontier (2003), Warm Safe Place (2006), Done You Wrong (2007) as well as How Do I Get There and Hell Bent for Buffalo, both from 2008. His most recent release is the 2012 composition, I Want to be in it With You. Pritchett normally performs with a six-member back-up band. But he also does acoustic shows. In fact two nights before the Richmond concert he will give an acoustic performance at the Park Theatre in Cobourg, Ontario.

Playing with real trains Special to the News

EMC news - Young boys like to play with trains. But this means model, toy trains, not the real thing. But in Richmond recently, three young boys took to playing with real trains. This is dangerous. On a recent Sunday afternoon, the Ottawa Police Service rushed to the Richmond area for a report of children playing chicken with passing trains. On arrival, officers located three young boys and spoke to them about the risks and dangers of playing around train tracks. Two of the boys admitted to playing chicken with passing trains and agreed that it was a dangerous game to play. However, the third boy, who was identified as the ring leader in this incident, refused to admit to the fact that playing around train tracks is risky and dangerous. The police sent the boys home to their parents where they hopefully would received additional safety education.

Mary Cook’s Memories “Spring has sprung,� Everett said for the umpteenth time. There was no doubt about it, the snow was gone, the trees were showing their early buds, the robins were back and all of Northcote was anticipating the first social event of the season. It was time to put down the flooring behind the United Church for the first outdoor dance. This was made up of big slabs of boards put together, sitting on blocks of wood to make it solid. It would comfortably hold two square dance couples, or three if they were careful. Sap buckets had been put away, the Model T taken off its blocks in the drive shed and the days were getting hot and longer, with the early evenings just right for the first outdoor party. The farmers were yet to get on the land and when that happened, there wouldn’t be much time left for such frivolity as a neighbourhood dance. They would go out at sunrise and their days wouldn’t end until the daylight had faded. These party evenings said winter was over and summer was just around the corner.

The music had already started when we drove into the church yard. There was Uncle Alec with his fiddle, two neighbours were strumming their guitars and the long table at the back of the church was already loaded with large baskets of sandwiches and pans of slab cake. Aunt Bertha said she hoped there would be enough food, because it looked like everyone in the entire Northcote area had shown up. Since the ground was still soft, chairs weren’t brought out of the church, but planks had been placed on blocks all around the make-shift dance floor, and they were filling up quickly. Mother ordered us five kids to sit and behave ourselves. “No rippin’ around the yard,� she ordered. Lanterns placed on posts around the make-shift dance floor, to be lit when it got too dark for the fiddlers. We barely got seated when someone designated himself caller and jumped up on the plank bench closest to the floor and called out “Partners for a square.� Well, such confusion! There was a mad dash

Calamity ensues on the overcrowded dance floor for the floor, young blades grabbing the hands of any girl within spitting distance, including my sister Audrey. It looked to me like everyone, but the youngest of us, my three brothers, Cecil, Two Mile and Three Mile Herman were heading for the dance floor. The caller had to order one set off, which still left three sets vying for the small space. There was much hand clapping and foot stomping. Finally the caller and the music got together and the dancing began. Well, all went well until just after the first do-se-do. Each couple began the swing and they were going so fast, you could hardly see their feet moving. And that’s when, as Cecil said later, “all hell broke loose.� One couple lost their footing and went reeling off the dance floor, but not before both grabbed the shirts of the couple next in line, who in turn, grabbed hold of the couple beside them and so it went until all eight of them were piled in a heap on the ground. They went down like a row of dominos, one on top

of the other. The most amazing thing to me was that the music went on as if nothing at all had happened. The other couples moved into the freed-up space and they finished the set to thunderous applause. My sister Audrey was not one of the dancers to go sailing off the floor, for which I was very grateful. But Emerson and Cecil got into such a laughing fit I thought they were going to be sick. Emerson, when he finally got control of himself, said he could see Big Clara’s flower-bag bloomers when she went rolling off the dance floor, which earned him a swift box on the ears from Mother. It was the first dance of the season, but it wouldn’t be the last. From then on, the caller announced before he started the dance that there was only room for two sets at a time. Since there would be no more calamities from an overcrowded floor, Emerson and Cecil had to find their amusement somewhere else. Like the time they put a frog in the lemonade jug at the church picnic. But that’s another story.

Four hand euchre parties are being held every Monday night at 7:30 p.m. at Christ Church Ashton from now through to the last Monday in November. Everyone is welcome to attend these euchres and enjoy an evening of fun and fellowship playing euchre.

Provincial PC Riding Association holding nomination meeting in Stittsville John Curry

eligible to vote at this nomination meeting. Jack MacLaren, a PC MPP, is the current MPP for the Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding. He won the nomination in a bitterly contested battle with longtime incumbent MPP Norm Sterling and then easily won election in the last provincial election. It is expected that Mr. MacLaren will be the only one nominated at this May 12th meeting and will easily be named as the party’s candidate in the next provincial election, whenever that may be. Since the provincial government is currently in a minority situation, the governing Liberals could be defeated at any time, bringing on a provincial election. The current Liberal-proposed provincial budget must still gain the approval of the Ontario Legislature. If it does not, there will be a provincial election.

One of the fleeing males is described as a white male, 18-28 years old, tall with dark short hair. The second male is described as a male, 18-28 years old, short, stocky build with dark short hair. There is no description of the driver of the vehicle but the vehicle itself was a red or burgundy fourdoor sports type car.

FOOD & NEWS

Deb Gleason Certified Holistic Nutritionist

Plant Based Protein Thriving on a Vegan Diet “Where do you get your protein” is by far the number one question I get when I tell someone I follow a vegan diet. Our society is extremely caught up in the myth unless you are eating meat and dairy products you are not getting enough protein. The reality is that North American’s get more than twice the protein they need every day and most of it from animal sources leading to obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other preventable diseases. So where does protein come from on a vegan diet. The quick answer is ‘everywhere’. Plants are actually protein producing powerhouses. Plants produce the amino acids humans and non-human animals need to make protein. In our conventional food system we organize animals like cows to eat plants which contain the amino acids they need to make protein in their bodies. Then humans come along and consume the cow’s flesh or milk just so they can get the original amino acids back from the plants. To get those original amino acids back we have to use a tremendous amount of our own energy to break down the protein in the meat and dairy products first before we rearrange it into our own protein. This is why we feel tired after dinner. All vegetables have at least ten percent protein and some have up to fifty percent protein. The great news is that we only need ten percent of our calories to come from protein to thrive. When we add in concentrated sources of protein like beans, tofu, lentils, tempeh, seeds and nuts we can never be protein deprived. The bottom line is that as long as we are not calorie deprived, eating a whole foods vegan diet guarantees us abundant protein.

Lemon Tarragon Chicken

PAT TREW Food ‘n’ Stuff

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Lemon, tarragon pair in this easy chicken dish If you’re looking for a simple yet different way to prepare chicken, this recipe will do the job. A combination of bread crumbs, lemon juice, parsley and tarragon give this chicken lots of flavour while keeping it very moist during cooking. You can make your own bread crumbs, or use Panko, which is a Japanese-style bread crumb. Sold in boxes in most supermarkets, these are a dry, medium-coarse crumb which gives food a crisp coating when cooked. When you shop for this recipe, look for thinner chicken breasts rather than thick ones. They’ll cook more quickly, and the crumb coating is less likely to get overlybrowned. Lemon Tarragon Chicken 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice 2 tbsp water 2 tsp. olive oil or vegetable oil 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs 3 tbsp. dried parsley, or 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

2 tsp. dried tarragon 1 tsp. finely grated fresh lemon peel 2 tbsp. oil for cooking In a shallow dish or pie plate, combine the lemon juice, water and two teaspoons of olive or vegetable oil. In a large dinner plate or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, tarragon and grated lemon peel. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat and add the two tablespoons of cooking oil. Dip both sides of each chicken breast first in the lemon juice mixture, then in the crumb mixture. Press the crumbs on to the chicken so that they stick. Place the chicken pieces in the heated pan and cook on medium-high for two to three minutes per side until they just start to brown. Turn the heat to low, and cook the chicken for 12-15 minutes, turning it occasionally. When the chicken is done, it will read 165 F (74 C) on a meat thermometer and the juices will run clear when the tip of a sharp knife is poked into the thickest part of each piece. Serves 4.

Monitoring of Upper Poole Creek wetland

farmboy.ca R0011357247

EMC news - Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day and what an appropriate day for Stittsville and area residents to learn about a new monitoring initiative for the Upper Poole Creek wetland being launched by Mississippi Valley Conservation (MVC). A presentation on this new Upper Poole Creek wetland monitoring initiative will be taking place this Sunday, April 22, Earth Day, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) at Stanley’s Corners. There will be presentations by MVC staff regarding this wetland monitoring plan and the responsibilities of volunteers who sign up to be involved in it. The Upper Poole Creek wetland, which is located along the Trans Canada Trail west of Stittsville, went dry last summer, causing considerable community concern. This monitoring program will help the MVC learn more about the wetland and how it functions. In addition, this workshop session will also include presentations on other environmentally-based volunteer programs that may be of interest to Stittsville and area residents. “The community commitment to the environment is strong in our watershed,” says Paul Lehman, MVC general manager. “The intent of this workshop is to establish a solid volunteer corps and also help connect like-minded people with projects they are passionate about,” he adds. The Friends of the Carp River will be on hand to raise awareness about that organization and the volunteer opportunities that it presents. MVC education coordinator Sarah O’Grady and Cliff Bennett of the Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists will be on hand to discuss wildlife monitoring programs available in the area. Residents interested in landowner stewardship programs offered by MVC such as tree planting and shoreline rehabilitation are also encouraged to attend this session. A light lunch will be provided to those who attend. RSVP’s are appreciated but drop-ins are also most welcome. For more information about this wetland monitoring information and volunteer recruitment workshop, please contact Suzanne McFarlane, MVC community relations coordinator, at 613-259-2421, ext. 225 or via email at smcfarlane@mvc.on.ca A karaoke night will be held on Saturday, April 28 at the Richmond Legion Hall on Ottawa Street in Richmond. Doors open at 8 p.m. with a $5 cover charge. Sound Union with Mark McGuire will keep things hopping and make sure that everyone gets equal mike time. Everyone welcome.

Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, April 19, 2012 53

Gonchar relishes playoff run with Senators By Rob Brodie OttawaSenators.com This is why Sergei Gonchar came to Ottawa. For the veteran blueliner, it is all about the Stanley Cup playoffs and the opportunity to chase after the most treasured prize in the game. And that opportunity with his current team has finally arrived with the Senators’ current matchup with the New York Rangers in the Eastern Conference quarter-finals. “Playoffs is always exciting,” said the 37-yearold native of Chelyabinsk, Russia. “You have a chance to compete for the Stanley Cup, which is probably the highest prize in the world. Playing in the best league, you have a chance to compete for it and it’s special. We’re going to have all (our) fans behind us, so it’s going to be something.” It is the “something” that Gonchar had in mind when he signed a three-year contract with the Senators as a free agent two summers ago. In the spring of 2010, his Pittsburgh Penguins survived a hard-fought Defenceman Sergei Gonchar, a veteran of three Stanley Cup finals and a champion in opening-round series 2009, welcomes his first opportunity to skate in the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Ottawa against the Senators — it Senators (Photo by Eliot J. Schechter/NHLI via Getty Images). went six games, including a triple-overtime win by pieces short of being a true Ottawa in Game 5 — and Stanley Cup contender. But Gonchar hardly Gonchar saw an opponent He felt he could be one of imagined the free fall the he believed was just a few those pieces. Senators would undergo

last season. Their playoffs hopes were dead by January and within the next month, half a dozen veterans were unloaded, signalling the start of a rebuild for the future. The Stanley Cup playoffs seemed to be little more than a pipe dream this season. No wonder, then, that Gonchar talks with such enthusiasm about getting his 12th chance to chase hockey’s Holy Grail. He’s played in three Cup finals, winning it all with the Penguins in 2009. And while facing the Eastern Conference’s top seed is daunting — with 109 points, the Blueshirts were 17 better than the eighth-place Senators in the standings — the opportunity is still there to weave some post-season magic. “It’s a huge difference,” Gonchar said of the Senators’ surprising rebound season. “Last year, I signed (in Ottawa) and I didn’t expect to have what we had. But the good thing is, it’s behind us and now I’m looking forward to the playoffs. We’ve been much better this year and I’m looking forward to the playoffs and I’m hoping it’s going to be even better there.”

carrying little in the way of expectations — most pre-season predictions had them finishing at or near the bottom of the conference — Gonchar said the team didn’t see it that way.

While entered

“(MacLean) is a big part of it,” said Gonchar. “He changed the system, he changed the attitude in the locker room, so I think he’s a really big part of it. If you look at it, he had been with an organization (the Detroit Red Wings, as an assistant coach) that has been successful. It was an organization that had won a few times with him (there).

UPCOMING SENATORS GAMES

NEW YORK RANGERS Monday, April 23, Time TBD, CBC Playoff excitement is back at Scotiabank Place for the first time in two years, with the Senators facing off against the New York Rangers in a bestof-seven Eastern Conference quarter-final series. It’s the first time the two teams have ever met in the Stanley Cup playoffs in modern franchise history. The leaders: Senators captain Daniel Alfredsson is the greatest player in modern franchise history and the team’s unquestioned leader, while Ryan Callahan’s hardnosed style makes him a gritty captain for the Blueshirts. Up front: Keep your eyes on the Blueshirts’ Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards, a former Conn Smythe Trophy winner as playoff MVP. With 84 points, the Senators’ Jason

Spezza ranked fourth in league scoring, while Milan Michalek notched a career-best 35 goals. On the blue line: It’s the unstoppable force vs. the immovable object, as the Senators’ Erik Karlsson, who topped all NHL defencemen with 78 points this season, tries to navigate the wall put up by Dan Girardi, one of the league’s most effective shot blockers. In the crease: Look for a duel between two top-flight netminders. The Rangers’ Henrik Lundqvist is a prime candidate to win the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goaltender, while Craig Anderson’s stellar play between the pipes was a big reason the Senators landed a playoff spot. Captain Ryan Callahan provides a gritty brand of leadership for the New York Rangers. (Photo by Jamie Sabau/NHLI via Getty Images).

“When you’re playing in the NHL, you have 20 guys that make each other pretty competitive,” he said. “We all want to prove something. When you have a season like we had last year, you want to come back and you want to be better. You want to prove it, not only to the people on the outside, but to yourselves as a group, that we can be better.” When Senators head coach Paul MacLean talks about the veteran core he relied so heavily upon in building this team, he includes Gonchar among that group. He’s been a willing mentor to such young blueliners as Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen, while contributing 37 points (5-32) to the Ottawa attack. But Gonchar, in turn, is quick to credit the man behind the bench with being perhaps the biggest reason why the Senators find themselves where they are today.

“Having that experience and being there gives you the ability to change things. You know what you need to do, you know how it’s supposed to be done and I think he’s done it. He’s a very big part of (our success).” R0011356539_0419
