Here comes ‘What’s up Zak?’ Special to the News

2 Hobin Street, Stittsville

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Standing with the sign publicizing the upcoming family musical “What’s up Zak?� which is being presented at Stittsville United Church on Saturday, May 3 and Sunday, May 4 are, at the left, Dave Newar, far left, and Heather Newar, second from left, who will be performing in the musical, and, on the right, from left, Ben Newar and Jenny McCracken, both of whom will be performing in the musical, and Ruth Richardson, who is directing the production.

News - It will be Stittsville United Church like you have never seen it before. Indeed, you will think that you are in some Middle East city and that’s just where you’ll be – the city of Jericho, known as the city of psalms. And to convey this, Stittsville United Church will be sprouting palm trees as well as sycamore trees for the presentation of the musical “What’s up Zak?� which will be presented at the church on Saturday, May 3 and again twice on Sunday, May 4, with everyone welcome to attend. Not only will the church be an oasis of greenery and trees but there at the front will be the very gates of Jericho. And at these gates will be merchants including a carpet

merchant. “What’s up Zak?� is another in a series of musical productions which have been staged at Stittsville United Church over the past eight years. This musical called “What’s up Zak?� is a production adapted from numerous skits, plays, musicals and the Bible itself, with the music involving a variety of styles from Broadway show tunes to modern day pop to gospel. The musical tells the story of Jesus entering the city of Jericho, healing the blind and spending time with Herod’s chief tax collector Zaccheaus and witnessing a life transformation for Zaccheaus. With the sanctuary at Stittsville United

Church transformed into an oasis with its large city gate, city shops and palm and other trees, you will think that you are right there in Jericho. Objectives of this musical, like all of the musicals that have been presented at Stittsville Public School, are to nurture and build community, to allow for creativity and fun, to challenge people in the development of their talents, to be intergenerational, to provide for a short term ten week commitment and to tell a story with a message. You won’t want to miss this musical “What up Zak?� and you don’t have to, because it is being stage three times – on Saturday, May 3 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, May 4 at 10 a.m. and against at 3 p.m.

News - What a great opportunity to stock up on a summer supply of books! It’s the bargain book sale being held at the Family Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville on Saturday, May 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kumon Learning Centre at the Shopping Centre is holding this book sale, with lots of books having been donated over the past several weeks providing a wide and varied selection. And what’s even better – the prices of these books is unbelievable! That’s why it is being called a bargain book sale, because these are real bargains.

Take a look at these prices: hard cover books, one dollar each; soft cover books, 50 cents each; and pocket books – an amazing four for only one dollar. And then there’s a great bargain for anyone who really wants to stock up on their reading material for the upcoming summer – a bag full of books for only ďŹ ve dollars. The only exception is children’s books – they cannot qualify for this bag special. What is great about this whole bargain book sale is that all proceeds are going to the Candlelight Children’s Cancer Foundation which provides programs and assistance to children battling cancer. So, you not only get lots of books at bargain basement prices but you will be helping out children with cancer. What a win/win situation!

Sports - The Stittsville Major Midget A2 Rams have gone undefeated in playoff action to emerge as the Lanark Carleton Minor Hockey League House A playoff champions. This five game win streak in the playoffs, leading to the championship banner, came after a regular season that saw the Stittsville Major Midget A2 Rams finish in second place with a record of 12 wins, 7 losses and 4 ties, good for 28 points. In the playoffs, the Stittsville Major Midget A2 Rams first faced the rival StittsvilleA1 Rams, with the A2 Rams skating off with a 5-2 victory. The Osgoode Romans were up next and the Rams continued their winning ways, coming away with a 6-3 victory. The A2 Rams then took care of the West Carleton Warriors by a 4-1 score, ensuring a spot in the playoff finals. The finals against Osgoode was a first-to-four-point series.

New garden season sprouts John Curry News Staff

News - Seeds are the beginning of gardening and so it made sense that the presentation at the April meeting of the Stittsville Goulbourn Horticultural Society should be on seeds and, more speciďŹ cally on starting seeds. Rebecca Last, who is a Master Gardener and also is a self-confessed “seedaholic,â€? was the guest speaker at the Society’s meeting on Tuesday, April 15 at the Pretty Street Community Centre in Stittsville. She told about asexual propagation as well as sexual propagation. In asexual propagation, there is only one socalled “parentâ€? so that a new plant is essentially a genetic clone of the parent plant. With sexual propagation, you have, as Ms. Last explained, “a mummy and a daddy.â€? As a result, the new plant is genetically different from its parents. Ms. Last listed some of the reasons why gardeners like to start their own seeds – it is cheaper, you get the plant that you want, it’s a challenge, the resulting plants are better adapted to the environment

and, perhaps most importantly, “it’s a lot of fun.� She advised that it is really important to document your seeds, writing down information about them including the date acquired so that you can always tell if they are still usable. A rule of thumb, she said, is that the bigger the seed, the longer the seed will stay good in storage. She also advised to document the results from growing plants from your own seeds, taking photographs of the seedlings and documenting their success and/or failure rate. Keep track of where the seeds came from so that you can get to know which are the better sources for seeds. Ms. Last said that seeds can be obtained from seed catalogues as well as from friends who save seeds and from local stores which carry seeds. She said that anyone starting seeds needs labels in order to label the seeds being started. She used herself as an example, saying that this year she has started 32 varieties of tomatoes, making it essential that she label them to be able to distinguish them from one another. Ms. Last said that it is criti-

cal in her view for someone starting seeds to have a fan on hand to provide good air circulation. This helps prevent what she called the single biggest problem in starting seeds, namely dampening off which is a fungus disease that can destroy seedlings. In addition, a fan will create air movement, helping to make the seedlings stronger and better able to adapt to conditions when they are moved outside. Another problem that can beset those who grow their own plants from seed is “leggy seedlings� which is usually the result of not enough light. Hardening off is also important for seedlings that are begun indoors. These seedlings have to get used to being outdoors and have to be sheltered from the wind and direct sunlight initially. Ms. Last’s presentation on starting seeds generated enthusiasm among the Horticultural Society members. As Horticultural Society president Ian Frei said in thanking Ms. Last for her presentation about starting seeds, he said that he and other members are now anxious to get their own seeds going after hearing from Ms. Last.

6 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, April 24, 2014

But, then again, helping out with fundraising is nothing new for Stittsville’s Giant Tiger. In the past it has held fundraising BBQ’s for, among other causes, the Humane Society and Nelson House, a shelter for abused women. It also asks customers for donations on occasion through its “Tiger Paw” program and Giant Tiger customers have proven to be pretty generous in the past. It was early last fall when Nancy Therrien went for an MRI scan because she had been experiencing back problems. Shortly after this, before hearing any results, she had to be rushed to hospital with breathing problems. This led to a diagnosis of lung cancer, with the breathing problems caused by blood clots circulating all through her body. It was said that she probably had only 48 hours or so to live had

she not arrived at the hospital when she did. It turns out that these blood clots are a by-product of her lung cancer which is not caused by smoking but is a non-smokers version of lung cancer. A large tumour was found on her lung, a tumour which the earlier MRI scan ended up detecting as well. Because of the size of the tumour, surgery was not possible. So, it meant an aggressive program of chemotherapy and then radiation to try to shrink the tumour and drive it into remission. EXPENSES ADD UP

What has been really worrying Nancy and her husband Luc during all of this battle against cancer was how they were going to pay for some of the additional shots and pills that she requires to fight this form of lung cancer. As long struggling small business people operating Stittsville Glass & Signs, young and not expecting such disastrous health news, they had never subscribed to any additional health coverage. Perhaps they should have but there were always so many other bills and expenses that needed paying. This means that they are facing some pretty serious financial bills. For instance, to prevent the blood clots which this form of lung cancer produces, Nancy must have a shot every day. And the cost? Five shots cost $495. And these shots have to continue daily until the cancer goes away or is in total remission. And then there’s some pills that she has to take. Three pills cost over $100. A bank account to help

out Nancy Therrien has been opened at the TD Canada Trust branch at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carp Road in Stittsville where donations can be made. The bank account number to quote when making such a donation at the branch is 3281 6140429. Or if you just identify the donation as being for Nancy Therrien and her battle against cancer, your donation will be directed to the right spot. And while the odds of recovering from her form of lung cancer are only a 20 percent survival rate, Nancy feels that her youth (she’s only 45 years old) is on her side. Her youth has allowed her to undergo larger doses of chemotherapy, for instance. She remains confident that she will make it through this health challenge, putting a lot of faith in the belief that God does not send a person a challenge that the person cannot handle. Nancy and Luc are also directors on the executive of the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). Their Stittsville Glass & Signs premises right beside Village Square Park, site of several SVA community events like Villagefest and Art and Authors in the Park, has proven to be a godsend for SVA organizers of these events in terms of parking, washroom availability and other help. Nancy is a huge Ottawa Senators fan as evidenced by the Sens displays which in previous years have been set up at the front of the business along Stittsville Main Street urging the Sens on at playoff time. The Jackson Trails Centre plaza where Giant Tiger is located sits at the northwest corner of Hazeldean Road and Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Stittsville Pool and Spa closes in 20th year John Curry

set at being stopped by a flagman. He is upset as well that he could not get anyone at the city of Ottawa to even listen to his complaints, saying that the city does not seem to care about small rural business. Stittsville Pool and Spa customers seeking chemicals came over the years from a wide area including not only Stittsville but Richmond, Munster, Carleton Place, Kanata and Barrhaven. Mr. Burke has given Enbridge, as requested, an accounting of his losses due to the pipeline construction but he has never heard back on the matter. Mr. Burke started this Stittsville Pool and Spa business 20 years ago after retiring from a career with Bell Canada. He looked

john.curry@metroland.com

at acquiring a franchise of some sort but then started this pool supplies and service business from the ground up, hoping to capitalize on what he saw as an opportunity for such a business in this area. It was also an attractive enterprise to him in that with such a business, he would have his winters free. So, Mr. Burke started the business from the ground up, looking after his own incorporation and becoming a fully qualified installer. He became known for repairing pool motors and built up the business, almost reaching the million dollar mark in sales some years. His initial plan was to eventually relocate to commercial premises in Stittsville but

operating out of his renovated garage at his home and servicing pools on the road made this unnecessary. Then along came the pipeline installation last summer and 20 years of building up and operating the business was severely impacted, with no one coming to his defense. So, given the alternatives, he is shutting down the retail sale of the business although he will continue to repair motors. He is most appreciative of the loyalty which his customers have shown to the business over the years and thanks them all for their support. However, he now envisions a time of playing more golf and working on some improvements around his expansive rural property.

News - A longtime Stittsville business has closed. Stittsville Pool and Spa, operated by Jack Burke and his wife Helen and located on Flewellyn Road just west of Stanley’s Corners, is shutting down its retail operation. This year would have been its 20th year in operation. The jobs of up to eight summer students are affected. Mr. Burke, who also repairs pool pumps and equipment, will continue with this segment of the business but the retail end of the business selling pool chemicals is being shut down. And Mr. Burke puts the blame for the closure squarely on the shoulders of the city of Ottawa and Enbridge for their haphazard and business-destroying handling of the installation of a gas pipeline along Flewellyn Road last summer. It resulted in the road being virtually closed from near the end of July to near the end of September and although signs were erected proclaiming that Stittsville Poole and Spa was still open, the construction frustrated customers and ended up leaving the business with $80,000 in unsold pool chemicals at the end of the year. Mr. Burke admits to be “totally upset over the whole thing,” but when he analyzed the situation and determined that it would take him two years to recoup his losses from the past year due to the construction project, he opted to close up and get out of the pool chemical business altogether. But he is not happy about it and he spreads the blame for the closure around to several parties – Enbridge for prolonging the construction period for the project, for hiring flagmen directing traffic who even swore at his staff, for allowing his phone line to be cut during construction, and for failing to keep the dust down on the road at all times; city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson for not acknowledging or returning four calls of complaint; the city of Ottawa roads department for failing to respond to his complains adequately; and city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt who agreed to an on-site meeting and then never showed up, referring the matter to Enbridge. All this happened even though he was assured before construction began and the road was closed to traffic that small businesses like his would be protected from adverse impacts due to the project. But this is not how it played out. Indeed, Mr. Burke says that the pipeline project made it “hell along here for three months,” noting the perpetual dust as well as incon- Left to right are: Lisa Mierins of Ogilvie Subaru, Don Durst of Subaru Canada, Ottawa City Councillor Tim Tierney, Mr Shiro Ohta - President and CEO of Subaru Canada, and Tom venience to customers.

dealership in Canada selling those iconic all-wheel drive compacts with the unusual horizontallyopposed ‘pancake’ engines. On April 9 of this year, the Mierins family celebrated 37 successful years of Subaru sales in Ottawa with a brand new location on Parisien Street (just off St. Laurent and the Queensway). The Subaru family of retailers now numbers almost 90 stores from coast to coast and arguably none more impressive and inviting than Ottawa’s own Ogilvie Subaru.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Jack Burke of Stittsville Pool and Spa is closing down the Flewellyn Road business after being adversely impacted by the installation of a natural gas pipeline along the road last summer.

The success stories of both Subaru and the Mierins family over the years have blazed very similar trails. Subaru never wavered from their original philosophy that all-wheel drive was the best and safest way to power a passenger vehicle. When they first starting selling vehicles in Canada only large SUV’s and trucks offered all-wheel drive. Now almost every carmaker has followed Subaru’s lead. But where other manufacturers simply bolt on

aspect their vehicles around a dedicated full-time revolutionary all-wheel drive system. Arnie Mierins and his family also started their vehicle retailing careers with a focused concept. They believe that buying new and pre-owned vehicles and getting them serviced shouldn’t be a stressful or difficult process. They have carefully selected and trained team members over the years that share this credo and treated them the way they want their clients treated; with respect. The end result is a legion of satisfied customers who refer friends and family on a daily basis and staff who buck the automotive industry trend by remaining with the same store year after year after year. Ogilvie Subaru’s manager Tom McCullough sees his team’s role as a very unique mission. While they are constantly welcoming repeat buyers who are very familiar with the entire Subaru

owners. Tom and his team take the time to provide personalized tutorials on the unique aspects of Subaru’s design and adhere to another long-time Mierins tenet; no pressure sales. The new showroom is warm, open and inviting with no closed-door ‘finance box’ offices, but instead has comfortable discussion tables and where Ogilvie Subaru consultants listen and learn about their customers’ needs before making recommendations. Among the dignitaries and guests at the grand opening, was Subaru of Canada President and CEO, Mr. Shiro Ohta. He congratulated Lisa Mierins, Tom, and the Ogilvie staff and offered his company’s commitment to continue to excel and improve in 2014. His company is setting high standards, as usual. Their growth in sales over the last decade is the envy of literally every auto manufacturer around the globe. They have set records for safety awards and received prestigious

prizes from almost every industry analyst and review group. Their model line-up has grown to include gasoline-electric hybrids, segment-defining crossovers, and a rear-wheel drive two-door sports coupe that is winning converts from high-level European products. And when the largest car maker in the world (Toyota) asks Subaru to build some of their cars and collaborate on special projects, well you know they’re doing something very right. The location of the new Ogilvie Subaru couldn’t have been better picked nor planned. Just off the Queensway, it’s accessible from any area of the Ottawa/ Gatineau region. With plenty of parking and a very large state-ofthe-art service and parts centre, customers don’t have to wait for appointments or for quick routine maintenance services. And rather than a segregated waiting area, Subaru service clients are welcome to relax in VIP seating with showroom guests. A wise move on Lisa Mierins’ part, because there’s no better salesperson for Subaru than a current Subaru owner. Many industry watchers over the years have bemoaned the lack of a Canadian car. Those critics have never ridden in or driven a Subaru. If anything was built for Canada, it’s Subaru. With intelligent all-wheel drive that requires no driver input, and league-leading fuel economy and spirited performance, all wrapped up in some very stylish and functional models, it’s no wonder that more and more Canadians every year are trading in their ordinary cars for an extraordinary opportunity to live and drive the adventure that is owning a Subaru. Lisa Mierins and Tom McCullough and the entire Ogilvie Subaru team extend a warm invitation to discover what confidence in motion is all about in a way that respects their customers and their world.

Stoop-and-scoop this spring

S

pring. Even the word sounds good. Relief after frostbite season. Unfortunately, spring also brings with it the evidence that some dog walkers aren’t doing their duty after their pet has done theirs. Parks, boulevards, sidewalks and pathways in some places are awash in poop and that’s no fun for anyone. The vast majority of dog owners clean up after their pet – if they didn’t, we’d be knee deep in the stuff by now. So how do we convince the offending few to scoop? Do we need more laws and regulations? Pet owners would no doubt say “No.� And our bylaw officers have better things to do than stake out parks on the off-chance a bad owner will offend in plain view. Do we need better education? The city advises owners to scoop poop and take it home, where they should flush it down the toilet so that our sewage system can treat the dog dirt like it does our own. Why not use a garbage can in the park or the bin at home? Turns out all the poop that ends up in the trash will become part of the city’s landfill, making it even more of a challenge to prevent toxins from seeping

into our waterways. Even if you own a dog and choose to use a garbage can, that’s a darn sight better than failing to scoop at all. Maybe we need to make things easier for all pet owners by providing better poop containers in the, shall we say, hotspots. That would take tax dollars. Some offenders may be children who don’t like the idea of carrying a bag of poop to the garbage or back home. If your son or daughter takes the dog out for a walk, why not insist they bring home what Rover eliminates, just to be sure your family isn’t part of the problem. In the end (no pun intended), if the problem gets worse, society will put in place penalties or regulations that affect all dog owners – the good and the bad. Maybe licence costs will rise to cover clean-up costs. Maybe a bylaw you disagree with will be passed. To avoid those potential pitfalls, pet owners should be at the forefront of making sure all owners scoop after their dogs. Use peer pressure. Use education. Carry an extra bag to clean up after an owner who gives you a bad name. After all, it’s dog owners that have the most to lose.

Jazz band forms trans-generational bond

I

n 1974, Pierre Trudeau was re-elected with a minority government, president Richard Nixon imposed a 55 mileper-hour speed limit, Blazing Saddles opened in movie theatres and, in another significant cultural event, four transplanted Brits got together with two Canadians to play traditional jazz. That was the Apex Jazz Band, which on Sunday, April 27, at 2 p.m. celebrates its 40th year at its accustomed hangout, the Royal Oak in Kanata. When you think of the things that don’t last 40 years – which is to say, most things – that’s an amazing accomplishment. Three members of the original band are still playing – leader and clarinetist Roger Cramphorn, trombonist and business manager Rod Digney and bassist Ron Laight, who was only 19 at the time the band formed. The others are drummer Steve Barrette, trumpeter Gordon Tapp and Dave Johnstone on guitar and banjo. Although some people think of traditional jazz (sometimes referred to as Dixieland) as a kind of museum piece, it’s a living thing in the right hands. A contemporary trumpet player from New Orleans, Wynton Marsalis, likes to say that “all jazz is modern.� In other words, because it is improvised on the spot, in

CHARLES GORDON Funny Town the moment, it is always new. You can test that out by going to the band’s website, www.apexjazzband.ca, where you can see videos of the band and catch up on its recordings, dating back to 1977, and its history. There are more than 200 songs in Apex’s repertoire and the band is still learning more. The band’s first gig was at the Black Bottom, a club underneath the Gondola Restaurant on Bank Street. A number of other venues followed, until Apex settled in at its current location for Sunday afternoon shows 24 years ago. Much has changed over the years. The Internet, which has generally had a negative effect on live music, has also helped in some ways. Promotions is an obvious one, but there are others.

“It is no longer necessary to scour record shops to find a recording of something,� Rod Digney notes. “If it exists, one is likely to find it with a simple five-minute Google search from the comfort of home. For us, this has facilitated what I like to call ‘email rehearsals.’ One of the guys finds a vintage tune he’d like the band to do and sends the rest of us a link to a YouTube video or audio we can all listen to. Often, the chords are also available on line, otherwise someone writes them out from the recording. We all have a good listen, often playing along and if he needs to, the trumpeter can write himself a chart for the lead line. We’ll have a quick talk-through just before our regular gig starts, then play it in the show, without ever having gotten together for a rehearsal.� The band members acknowledge that the music does appeal to an older crowd. But not exclusively. “Throughout our existence as a band,� says Rod Digney, “we have learned that young people also love the music – they just don’t know that they like it. “Young people (I am thinking collegeaged students) who would not walk across the street to hear the band, generally get very enthusiastic about the music if they happen to

stumble across us playing, say, at an outdoor venue.� Adds Roger Cramphorn, “What I noticed throughout my musical life here was that generally, the older people came along first then followed by the next generation and then the last few years, the grandchildren started to appear! This gave me great joy because we were teaching kids to enjoy live music and we seemed to form a trans-generational bond with them so we were passing on the love of the music.� Can you think of anything better to be doing for 40 years?

Hornets face off against top provincial teams at tourney Special to the News

Sports - Six of the top ten ranked midget girls basketball teams in the province competed in the top division of the recent Blessed Sacrament Invitational Tournament in Hamilton. This meant that the Goulbourn Hornets midget girls team would have to play at its best if it wanted to be successful in this tournament. And the Hornets did get off to a great start in this tournament, winning their first two games on Saturday, April 5. Playing the host Blessed Sacrament Yellow Jackets, which is ranked eighth provincially, the Hornets jumped out to a 22-5 half time lead. The Hornets’ size advantage forced Blessed Sacrament to focus on outside shooting which the Hornets were able to combat effectively. The Hornets even extended their lead to 28-5 before Blessed Sacrament fought back but it was too little, too late as the Hornets won by a 43-22 score. The Hornets next opponent was the London Ramblers and again the Hornets jumped out into an early lead, 19-9 after the first quarter. The Hornets’ defense and speed in transition made the difference. London did narrow the Hornets’ lead to four points by half time but the Hornets hung in there and had the ten

point lead restored by the end of the third quarter. The Hornets went on to win 49-33. So far, so good in this elite tournament. But in the Hornets third game of the day, playing against the London CYO team, things did not go as well for the Goulbourn squad. First of all, two players sat out the game due to injuries. Even so, the game was a close affair for the first three quarters, with London leading by just one point, 30-29, going into the final quarter. But fatigue from playing three games in one day and the depleted roster began to show as London opened up a ten point lead due to Hornet turnovers. The Hornets hung in there but ended up losing the game 45-40. The next day was not going to be any easier for the Hornets. To conclude round robin play, the Hornets went up against the Scarborough Blues, the number two ranked team in the province. The Blues displayed the speed and athleticism that earned them this high provincial ranking and led 14-7 at the end of the first quarter. Goulbourn, though, figured out how to break the stifling defensive press being applied by the Blues and did narrow the score to a six point deficit by half time. In the third quarter, the

Hornets opened with an 8-0 run and were ahead by five points by the end of the third quarter. The lead went back and forth in the fourth quarter and the ending was a close as it could be. Unfortunately, the Hornets were on the losing side of the score, a 47-46 victory for the Scarborough Blues.

ON TO SEMIS

With a record of two wins and two losses in pool play, the Hornets advanced to the Division 1A semi-final against the Niagara Falls Red Raiders, the number six ranked team in Ontario. It wasn’t getting any easier for the Hornets. The Hornets had trouble with the Raiders zone defense and could not click offensively, so that the Red Raiders built up a 31-9 lead. The Hornets fought back, though, and had an 11-5 run to open the fourth quarter. But this was too little, too late as Niagara Falls went on to win 42-23. So, while the Hornets did not emerge victorious in this tournament, the team did show that it can play with the top teams in the province. The experience of this tournament should prove invaluable to the Hornets when it takes part in the provincial championships in May.

News - It’s not only a douse of hockey in the middle of summer. It’s also an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children. That’s what makes the 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes event so special. 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes is a fun and challenging hockey event organized by Stittsville residents Joel Barrette and Carlos Zaidi to raise funds for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario which grants the wishes of children suffering from life threatening medical conditions, giving them hope and joy. In the past two years, this 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes event has raised nearly $50,000 for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. It is hoped that this year’s event, to be held from Saturday, July 19 to Sunday, July 20 at the Bell Sensplex, will match the funds raised in the first two years of the event. The event involves the playing of hockey for 24 hours in a row, with four teams involved, with each team playing 12 games over the course of the 24 hours. There are 15 skaters and two goalies per team. The players are adult recreational non-contact hockey players who are willing to participate in this series of non-competitive pickup hockey games, not only to have fun themselves but to raise money that will see the dreams of children realized through Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. And there’s more than just hockey involved. Three meals are provided to the players during the course of the event. There’s a gala brunch on the Sunday morning when the event winds up. In addition, each participant receives a personalized hockey jersey and matching socks. Teams are created based on level of experience and positions. In addition, the organizers try to make sure that players are put on the same team as friends where possible. This 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes event is seeking players to participate in this year’s event coming up in July. The goalie positions are all filled but skaters are still being sought. The registration cost this year is down to $200 per skater. Something new that is being planned this year is a family skate during the event. This would be a time set aside at the Bell Sensplex when family and friends of participants along with anyone else from the community can drop in and enjoy a fun skate on the Sensplex ice while making a donation to the event. It’s a way for those not playing to be part of the event not only on its fun side but also on its fundraising side, raising money for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. The organizers of the event, Joel Barrette and Carlos Zaidi, have both seen first-hand the impact that the granting of a wish by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario has on a child and his or her family. Providing such an experience to a child facing a life

threatening illness can make all the difference and provides not only the memories but the hope and joy that the child will have forever. This year’s 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes event is still looking for a couple of team sponsors and more local community business sponsorship to help the event reach its $50,000 fundraising goal this year. Two team sponsors, Cistel Technology and JenCor Entertainment, are already on board, returning from last year. But two more team sponsors are required. VLN Reach Foundation will be the event sponsor this year. This is the third year in a row that VLN-Tech/ VLN Reach Foundation has backed this event. SUBMITTED For more information about this year’s 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes Carlos Zaidi, left, and Joel Barrette, right, organizers of the 24 Hours of Hockey 4 Wishes event, present Mike event or to register to participate or to Wlotzki, second from left, who is executive director of Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, with a giant cheque for donate to the event, please check out over $23,000 as the proceeds from last year’s event. the website www.hockey4wishes.ca .

Colin Arsenault strikes provincial award John Curry

a junior referee for the thenStittsville Soccer Club when he was only 13 years ago. Indeed, history is rather repeating itself as one of his daughters, Jessica, who is now 13 years old, is going to try to qualify as a soccer referee this summer. Colin has done virtually everything when it comes to soccer in the community. He has organized youth and adult competitive teams for the Goulbourn Soccer Club and has handled player registration during a time before computers were commonplace. He has even served as a Club president.

‘Where everybody knows your name’ John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - In the television series “Cheers,â€? Sam Malone’s establishment was so popular because it was a place where everyone knows your name. And in some respects, Munster Elementary School is like this iconic Cheers location in that it is a place where students are known by name. The most obvious reason is because enrolment at the school has dropped down below 100 students, meaning there’s fewer students to get to know. But it’s also because that’s the kind of school it is – “small townâ€? friendly. And you get this feeling right off the bat in entering the school where you will be greeted by one or another or perhaps both of the smiling, cheerful ofďŹ ce administrator duo of Sue Wigney and Virginia Said. Principal Rebecca Shields will tell you that even after just seven months as the school’s principal, she is familiar with all of the students at the school. “I get to know them all,â€? she says, adding that this helps in children forming a positive relationship with the school. If I know everyone in the school and can call them by name, this builds a relationship between the student and the school, something that can only help in the child’s schooling, she says. Munster Elementary School is a real gem of a school, not just because of its facility assets such as an oversized gym, a bright kindergarten room, a spacious library and a huge

playground area but more importantly because of its people assets – a dedicated staff, a supportive and engaged parent community and a student body that has access to all the learning supports available from the largest school board in the area. Let’s start with the gymnasium which was built oversized back in 1978 when the school ofďŹ cially opened thanks to a monetary contribution from the community. This was all meant to encourage community use and that’s just what has happened over the years and is happening today. The gymnasium is heavily used by the community for Brownies, Cubs, Guides, sports and community association events – it’s a place where the community comes together. But the school also beneďŹ ts from the large gymnasium which it uses for its sports and physical education programs and its special events like Jump Rope For Heart. And having a built-in stage offers even more opportunities for school activities. The School Council at the school is holding a family dance in the gym at the end of May, another beneďŹ t to have such a spacious facility. The gym will also be the site of an upcoming performance by the Rag ‘n Bone Theatre Group whose appearance is happening thanks to the School Council and its fundraising efforts. A “big, beautiful bright classroomâ€? is how principal Shields describes the kindergarten room at Munster Elementary School and that’s just what it is. It not only has plenty of space but its inquiry based learning pro-

gram ensures a good grounding for these youngest of students. A recent learning unit on aquarium life was enhanced by a couple of huge papier mache ďŹ sh hanging from the classroom ceiling. The room just offers so many possibilities as a teaching environment. The junior class at Munster Elementary School is beneďŹ tting from ten new iPads which were purchased this year. The plan is to acquire another ten so that every student in the class will have use of one. Right now, the students works in pairs but this ďŹ ts in with the collaborative learning that is being emphasized today, so it is an arrangement that works. These iPads are considered essential for today’s 21st century learners, not only engaging the students in learning but also providing an equal opportunity to all students. For example, students who are challenged in writing can, for example, use an iPad to type out ideas or voice recognition technology can be used to record ideas. Down in the school library, you ďŹ nd not only well stocked shelves but the spacious facility is frequently used for school assemblies, given the enrolment numbers combined with the warm ambience generated by the SUBMITTED space. It’s a place to which students Munster Elementary School student Dawson Wilkinson uses cubes as love going. The school holds regular end-of- he tries to solve a problem. the-month assemblies at which the school gets together to share in its accomplishments. These assemblies CANADA’S STARS help foster a close community atmoSTRAIGHT FROM SOCHI sphere in the school. See MUNSTER, page 22

Munster Elementary School is home to Nursery School Continued from page 21

This year the school has used one of its spare classrooms to be developed as a special room known as “The Den.� This is where students affected by autism spectrum disorder or anxiety are able to go to calm down and re-focus. It is a plain room with lower stimulation so that a student can temporarily “reset� and then get back to learning and succeeding in school. Having the space in the school has allowed the development of this most beneficial of spaces. And another special space in the school, although not officially part

of its educational offerings, is the premises of the Munster Cooperative Nursery School. Its presence right in the school allows for an easy transition to the formal school environment for youngsters attending the Nursery School because they are already familiar with the school facility – that’s where they go to have fun and to learn. Having the Nursery School located in the school also cements even further the concept that Munster Elementary School is more than just a school for its community – it is a hub where the community meets, be it for Nursery School or for community

use related to the gymnasium. The Munster Elementary School’s yard is enormous, not only because of its own size but also because it adjoins public parkland. The school has a wonderful new play structure with another separate structure for use by the Nursery School. Although Munster Elementary School currently has low numbers in its grade five class, the students do not miss out on any leadership opportunities. For instance, the grade five students attended the recent “Me To We� Day at Canadian Tire Place, learning how they can be difference makers not only locally but also

globally. The grade four and five students lead the school’s spirit days and help lead special projects like a recent one that involved making bracelets to sell to raise funds for an Ottawa-based charity. These grade five students, along with other students, have a whole host of extra curricular activities available such as clubs which are formed where student interest warrants. There may not be formal soccer and sports teams due to enrolment numbers but there are lots of intramural sports with multi-grade teams.

One of the areas where Munster Elementary School shines is with its Eco Team, a group of students who are responsible for ensuring that the three R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) are practiced every day at the school. The school has achieved the gold level in the eco schools program, a level that is not easily achieved. “We are small but mighty,� is how principal Shields explains the school’s achievements in environmental guardianship.

Why? In 2013, City Council approved new OfďŹ cial Plan policies to create a more liveable Ottawa. To put these policies into action, the Zoning By-law needs to be updated. The 2014 Zoning Review will make that happen. How? Zoning affects how land can be used on both public and private properties. Things like types of housing, shops, schools, industries, as well as building heights and building densities. Things like building heights and building densities. The right zoning will make sure our streets and neighbourhoods develop in ways that encourage vibrant, liveable places for all to enjoy How will this affect me? Zoning changes will provide greater certainty for residents, developers, businesses and others, about what to expect when it comes to future development in the review areas.

Munster Elementary School Continued from page 22

Munster Elementary School also has a learning support teacher who ensures that all students have their special programming needs addressed. This includes an “empower reading” program that is an intensive specialized reading program that not all schools offer. Principal Shields emphasizes that Munster Elementary School, although small in numbers, has equal access to all of the resources offered by the school board and that they are only a phone call away if needed. Access to these resources is not impacted in any way on the num-

bers in a school. Currently the Ottawa District School Board has launched a community consultation study to determine how Munster Elementary School might be able to play an even greater role in serving the educational needs of Munster and the wider area. Right now, Munster Elementary School offers only an English K-5 program. The study will determine whether introduction of a French Immersion program at the school is viable and could be introduced with adversely impacting neighbouring schools in Richmond and Stittsville.

Sacred Heart runners ready for Relay for Life John Curry News Staff

News - Next year Sacred Heart Catholic High School students should be having their own Relay For Life event, raising funds for the Canadian Cancer Society. This year, a group of 50 Sacred Heart students will be participating in a student Relay for Life event hosted by Cairine Wilson Secondary School at the Navan fairgrounds in Navan. By participating and even being exposed to some of the organization of the event, these Sacred Heart students are hoping to learn about organizing such an event so that next year Sacred Heart can host its own Relay For Life. Relay For Life is a major fundraising initiative by the Canadian Cancer Society which is held in numerous communities including Kanata. This year’s community event in Kanata happens on Friday, June 13 at Walter Baker Park where participants will walk for 12 hours throughout the night, raising funds for the fight against cancer and also raising awareness of the disease while commemorating those who have battled cancer and have either survived or have lost the battle. Anna Ploeg, a grade 11 student at Sacred Heart who is one of the students involved in this Sacred Heart initiative, has participated in the community Relay For Life event but believes that Sacred Heart students should host their

own. This year’s efforts in participating in the event hosted by Cairine Wilson Secondary School of Orleans will allow Sacred Heart students to take what Anna calls “baby steps” as they progress towards staging their own event next year. The 50 students who have come forward this year are from all grade levels, although many are from grade 11. A diversity of students from different grade levels is what the group wanted so that there would be students who could continue the event in the future once this year’s grade 11 graduate after next year’s inaugural event. Sacred Heart students went to a training seminar related to this upcoming Relay For Life event where they got to share ideas and got a feel for what’s involved in organizing such an event. It was awesome to see the enthusiasm of the students involved, Anne Ploeg says, while also noting that there is a lot to plan in holding such a Relay For Life event. At this training session, the Sacred Heart students showed so much spirit and enthusiasm themselves that they won a most spirited award at the session. Charlie Gervais, another Sacred Heart grade 11 student who is involved in this year’s participation in the Relay For Life hosted by Cairine Wilson Secondary School, attributes support for the event to the fact that virtually everyone has been affected by cancer in

She said that it will be easier for students to get involved in the Relay For Life cause with the school holding its own Relay For Life event rather than trying to participate in the community event. Anna Ploeg says the idea is to try to make the event fun

for the participants while also ensuring that it is both inspiring and emotional. Kate McClelland, another Sacred Heart grade 11 student who is involved in this year’s event, believes that there will be an incredible turnout of Sacred Heart students next year when the school hosts its own Relay for Life. The Sacred Heart students have set a fundraising goal of $10,000 for this year’s Relay For Life participation. It originally was $5,000 but success in some fundraisers resulted in the goal being raised to the $10,000 mark. The group has raised about $4,000 so far. These Sacred Heart stu-

dents have several fundraising events on their schedule, two of which have already taken place. One was an Easter egg surprise raffle in which an Easter egg could be purchased for a two dollar donation. Inside the plastic Easter egg was a number, from 1 to 300, which corresponded to a prize. These prizes were either donated or purchased at Dollarama. This Easter egg raffle drew great interest and the organizers even had to limit egg purchases to one per person to be able to attract different donors. A hat day was also held at the school where students

paid a dollar for the privilege of wearing a hat at school that day. Hats are not normally allowed to be worn in the school. Those who paid the dollar were given a Relay For Life pin to raise awareness of the event among students. This hat day was also a successful fundraiser. Coming up as a fundraiser before the May 2 Relay For Life event itself is a jousting tournament involving teachers that will take place in a school gym. Admission will be $3 for students to watch. Initially the organizers had thought of having a Sumo wrestling event but seeing a jousting tournament online convinced them to stage such a tournament. And teachers have gotten on board There is also the possibility of some teachers taking part in a head shaving/leg waxing fundraising event. Finally, the organizers will be selling snacks, drinks and cotton candy at a school dance on Thursday, May 1, just the day before the actual Relay For Life event hosted by Cairine Wilson Secondary School. Besides these fundraising activities, donations towards the participation of these Sacred Heart students in the May 2 Relay For Life event can be made online by anyone who wants to support this activity and help in the battle against cancer. Just Google Sacred Heart Relay For Life (Relay For Life 2014 at Sacred Heart High School) and you can make a donation online. Tax receipts will be provided. Make sure that the online site is referring to Stittsville’s Sacred Heart High School and that the Relay For Life is taking place on Friday, May 2 from 12 noon to 12 midnight at the Navan fairgrounds.

Recycling your electronics Saturday John Curry News Staff

News - Here comes Earth Day! And a great way to celebrate the occasion is by gathering up your old electronics that are sitting around your home and taking them to the second annual free electronics recycling drop-off being held at Stittsville Public School on Saturday, April 26. Coming just a couple of days after Earth Day, it is a great way to demonstrate support for protecting the environment which is the aim of Earth Day. This free electronics recycling drop-off on Saturday, April 26 will take place in the parking lot at Stittsville Public School at 40 Granite

Ridge Drive in Stittsville, starting at 8 a.m. and running through to 1 p.m. And you will not only be helping the environment by recycling these old electronics but you will be helping out Stittsville Public School because the proceeds from this event are going to go to help out the school. Those dropping off old electronics can do so for free. The funds are raised from the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) which will provide funds to the Stittsville Public School organizers depending on the weight of the collected electronics. The Live 88.5 radio station’s Ground Crew will be on site with music and prizes. Among those helping to unload the old electronics

from your vehicle will be city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who against this year has volunteered to help out. You can take just about anything to this electronics recycling dropoff. Everything will be recycled in a responsible manner including monitors, televisions, computers, printers, fax machines, copiers, telephones, answering machines, cellular devices, pagers, home theatres, vehicle audio devices, digital cameras and video recorders. So it’s a great way to do some spring cleaning around the house by getting ride of those old electronic devices that have just been sitting around the house. It will not take long – just drive in, stop, have the

items unloaded by volunteers and off you go while the volunteers carry the items to the recycle bin. It’s easy and fast and usually there is no waiting. It couldn’t be easier. Stittsville Public School is working with the Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) on this initiative. OES is a not-for-profit industry organization that oversees the responsible reuse and recycling of end-of-life electronics with this free electronics drop-off program being one of the ways that this mission is carried out. The goal is to divert electronics from landfills and ensure that they are responsibly recycled. The OES asks that all Ontario residents take an E-cycle pledge and promise to reduce their e-waste by selling it, donating it, gifting it or recycling it. This is an opportunity to recycle it for free.

In 2010, 80 percent of Ontario households had at least one out-ofuse electronic device. In 2011, 90 percent of Ontario residents indicated that they had at least one out-of-use device. Yet, despite the abundance of all of these out-of-use devices, less than 40 percent of Ontario residents actually recycle an old electronics item. Yes, recycling is a great way of re-using materials found in e-waste. E-waste contains some of the most valuable precious metals mined and refined today. For instance, to produce one tonne of copper, it takes only 14 tonnes of recycled e-waste. If copper is mined, it takes 80,000 tonnes of raw materials from mining to produce one tonne of copper.

Good Friday Walk makes its way through Richmond John Curry News Staff

News - A wooden cross was carried from church to church in Richmond last Friday to commemorate Christ’s own journey to Calvary on that initial Good Friday. This annual Good Friday Walk of the Cross began this year at the Grace Assembly Pentecostal Church at the Richmond Shopping Centre where pastor the Rev. John Spurrell welcomed the more than 75 participants of all ages who crowded into the church. They heard Rev. Spurrell lead the preparation prayer and an opening prayer and give a reading from Matthew’s Gospel before a Taize chant was sung by all. Rev. Spurrell then hammered a nail into the wooden cross at the front of the church, a happening that would take place at all five stops or “stations” along the Good Friday Walk route. A candle was also extinguished. A hymn ended the service at the Grace Assembly, after which Aaron Lapointe carried the wooden cross from the church and led the procession to the next stop on the cross’ route through the village, namely St. Paul’s United Church on McBean Street. The cross and procession left the Grace Assembly at 10:35 a.m. and under an overcast but bright

sky, with the thermometer hovering at the six degrees Celsius mark, the procession arrived at St. Paul’s United Church at 10:45 a.m. At St. Paul’s United Church, there was a similar brief service involving two readings from Matthew’s Gospel, a Taize chant, the hammering of a nail into the wooden cross, the extinguishing of a lit candle and a hymn before the cross was carried out of the church and led the procession on to the next church on the route, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church farther south on McBean Street. The cross left St. Paul’s United Church at 10:55 a.m., arriving at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church 11 minutes later. Another in-church service, similar to the previous ones, was held at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, after which at 11:20 a.m., the wooden cross continued on its way, with St. Philip’s Catholic Church on Burke Street as the next stop before the cross and procession then continued on to the fifth and final “station” on its route, St. John the Baptist Anglican Church on Fowler Street. The service at St. John the Baptist Anglican Church ended with the Lord’s Prayer, a closing prayer and an invocation calling on Walk participants to “go out into the world

in the power of the spirit of Christ to walk through darkness and uncertainty towards the joy of Easter Day.” This annual Good Friday Walk of the Cross ended with a time of fellowship and refreshments provided by the St. John the Baptist Anglican Church congregation in the Anglican Church hall.

24/7 e-waste recycling drop off in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - You can now drop off your e-waste at any time of the day or night right here in Stittsville. That’s thanks to the new E-Waste Recycle.ca free drop off centre which two friends, Brent Drysdale and Stephen Kelly, have established on Sweetnam Drive just off Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. And even when it is not open, e-waste can still be dropped off as there is a drop box outside the drop off centre where e-waste can be left. This makes it a 24/7 operation so anytime that you go there, you will be able to deposit your old electronics for recycling. The drop box even features a low, cut away front so that old electronics, particularly big, heavy TV’s, can be easily left in the drop box. If Brent or Stephen are there when you pull up, they will help with the unloading of your e-waste. Sometimes they may not be there because of a couple of other services that they are offering. They are offering free pickup of any oversized TV’s 50 inches or larger. Yes, that’s right – they will go right to your home and carry it out for you. In addition, Brent and Stephen will also pick up for free any e-waste from disabled or elderly persons who are not able to drop off the items at the Sweetnam Drive location. All of the e-waste collected at this new E-Waste Recycle.ca free drop off centre will be disposed off in a safe, secure and environmentally friendly manner. And just what will be accepted? Well, old TV’s of any kind, com-

puters, laptops, scanners, printers, copiers, monitors, video players, VHS players, radios, stereos, speakers, telephones, cell phones, tablets, iPads, keyboards, circuit boards, switches, servers, power backups, cables, wires, routers, power supplies, CD drives, floppy drives, modems, electric motors, chargers, memory sticks and more. In addition, E-Waste Recycle.ca does accept ink and toner cartridges. Mr. Drysdale admits that no money is made from this but these are being accepted since it is important to recycle them and keep them out of the landfill. As Mr. Drysdale says, this enterprise is not just about the money. “I would like to give back to the environment and help keep everything cleaned up,” he says. “We just try to do our part in life.” But E-Waste Recycle.ca is doing more than just helping to keep ewaste out of the landfill. It is the hope that when dropping off e-waste, particularly at the special free e-waste drop off days that are being planned, that people will also drop off at least one non-perishable food item. These donated food items are then going to be distributed between the Stittsville Food Bank and the Kanata Food Cupboard. Mr. Drysdale and Mr. Kelly have been picking up and recycling scrap metal for the past two years. In doing this, they received numerous queries about whether they would also pick up e-waste for recycling as many did not know how or where to get rid of it. This eventually persuaded the pair to let others focus on scrap metal pickup and they would focus their

The result is the opening of this E-Waste Recycle.ca drop off centre in a storage unit at 1 Sweetnam Drive just off Hazeldean Road in Stittsville which they opened as of April 1. It is an ideal location, close to Hazeldean Road, with good access so that a person can drive a vehicle right up to the centre, drop off the used electronics and be on his or her way in no time at all. E-Waste Recycle.ca takes all of the items dropped off at its location to major recyclers where they are recycled into material that can be used in new products. Mr. Drysdale says that the price for recycled items varies with the market but he does admit that dealing in recyclables is “not a big, big money maker.” But he and his partner Stephen are in it for more than just money. They want to make a difference. As their flyer says, “Every day is an e-waste event day” in their world. Mr. Drysdale points out that since used electronics can last up to 1,000 years in a landfill, it is vital to get such e-waste directed away from landfills and going to proper recyclers. If this Sweetnam Drive drop off centre is successful, Mr. Drysale and Mr. Kelly may open another similar one in the east end of the city. This Sweetnam Drive location is basically intended to serve residents in Stittsville, Kanata and West Carleton. E-Waste Recycle.ca is holding the first of what is planned as a series of free e-waste drop off days this coming Saturday, April 26 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sweetnam Drive drop off centre. And don’t forget to take along a non-perishable food item for

the food banks. This is not absolutely necessary but all such donations will be greatly appreciated. To arrange for free pickup of oversized TV’s or for the free pickup of items from those who cannot deliver such items to the drop off centre due

Community Arena hall in Stittsville but a mould situation has closed down that arena and hall until July, so the Ladies’ Night Out was switched to the Kanata Recreation Complex. And what a Ladies’ Night Out it is going to be! Local artists and entrepreneurs will be on hand showcasing their products and services. These will include Navron Hand Crafted Jewelry, Stone Dragon Designs and French Country Soaps.

Also on hand will be The Decorating Den, Hazeldean Chiropractic and L’Dara. There will be free hors d’oeuvres donated by Pocopazzo, one of Stittsville’s most popular restaurants. There will also be free hand scrubs, free spinal assessments and free mini makeovers. What a Ladies’ Night Out it is going to be! And, perhaps best of all, entry is by donation to the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School with the suggested donation being two dollars. Wow!

News - That traditional symbol of Good Friday – The Cross – made its way along Stittsville Main Street last Friday morning, April 18, Good Friday. It was a Good Friday procession which saw a wooden cross carried along Stittsville Made Street from Stittsville United Church to St. Thomas Anglican Church to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. It all got underway at 9:30 a.m. at Stittsville United Church where minister Rev. Grant Dillenbeck welcomed about 70 people to this “annual pilgrimage of the Cross.” As happened at all three churches along the procession route, there were two Scripture Andrew’s Presbyterian Church and Rev. Jane McCaig readings, two dramatic readings and

of St. Thomas Anglican Church.

two sung responses in the church before the wooden cross was carried out of the church and led a procession along Stittsville Main Street to the next church on the itinerary. The day was overcast but bright, with a temperature of six degrees Celsius with a southwest breeze. The Cross arrived at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street just before 10 a.m. where more Scripture and dramatic readings were conducted, along with sung responses, before the Cross and procession carried on to the third and final stop on the route, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Mulkins Street in Stittsville.

Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School registration set for April 24 News - The Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School has so much going for it – a long history in the community, the involvement of parents and a low teacher/child ratio that ensures each child’s needs are met. And you and your child can get to experience all of these by becoming involved with the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School in the coming 2014-2015 session. A registration

night will take place on Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m. at the school. Spots in the nursery school are limited and fill up quickly, so a prompt decision is recommended if at all possible. The nursery school experience prepares children for kindergarten in several ways. Firstly, the children learn to be separate from their parents, developing independence and confidence in an environment outside the home.

It also allows children to learn how to socialize and be part of a group. Children in nursery school learn how to cooperate and take turns and how to communicate their needs and feelings in appropriate ways. Children in a nursery school setting also learn how to follow a routine, giving them a sense of safety and security from knowing what comes next. More information about the Stittsville Co-operative Nursery School can be found on its website at www.scns.ca .

Pipeline meeting draws a crowd John Curry News Staff

News - The Ontario Energy Board has released its high level summary of what it heard at the community discussion meeting which it hosted in Stittsville on Monday evening, April 7 dealing with TransCanada Pipelines Limited’s proposed Energy East pipeline. Over 200 attended this meeting in the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena. Feedback and input received at this meeting, along with six other similar meetings elsewhere in the province, will be used by the Ontario Energy Board to help form its assessment of the potential impacts of this pipeline proposal on Ontario residents and communi-

ties. In its summary of the input and feedback received at this Stittsville meeting, the following points are made: Many participants at the meeting stated that the risk posed by the Energy East pipeline project to the drinking water, livelihoods and community sustainability is unacceptable, with concerns raised about the impacts on watersheds, wells, rivers and aquifers; The importance of pipeline safety and integrity was heard consistently from a range of participants, calling into question the integrity of the existing pipeline that is almost 50 years old and which may have joints and materials that are decaying and prone to failure. Participants suggested raising engineering standards for testing, monitoring and reporting on pipe-

line operations and spills; There was concern expressed about the financial risk and liability of pipelines and how economic costs would be determined both in the long and short term, how people would be compensated and how payouts would be financed and distributed. Some suggested that TransCanada should be required to post letters of credit or establish reserve funds to ensure that adequate funding is available in the event of a costly clean-up; Concerns were expressed about the climate change impacts of the proposed Energy East pipeline and the need for this to be considered as part of the project’s overall costs to the province; Questions were raised about how the economic costs and benefits of the Energy East pipeline were going to be calculated both in the short term and the long term. The possibility of TransCanada paying royalties to the province was suggested as a condition of ap-

proval for the project; Many participants expressed support for transitioning away from oil to a more sustainable alternative energy-based economy that would generated more jobs and better longterm economic benefits in addition to helping mitigate climate change; Several participants expressed concern about natural gas pricing and supplies, suggesting that those in Eastern Ontario would be particularly vulnerable to price hikes and shortages with the conversion of this pipeline from natural gas to oil; Many people acknowledged that while the Ontario Energy Board is not the government agency that will make the final decision about the pipeline, they were grateful for the opportunity being provided by the Ontario Energy Board to be consulted and possibly influencing the province’s position on the matter. Concerns were expressed that TransCanada lacked transparency and public accountability. The Ontario Energy Board will be undertaking a second round of community discussion meetings, including one in Stittsville, which is expected this coming July or August.

King’s spearheads community support network Special to the News

News - A widowed father and his eight year old child challenged with a disability are getting some time-saving help from King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond. Indeed, King’s Your Independent Grocer has become the first member of what is hoped to become a community support network built around this Richmond single parent and his child, much to their delight. Eight year old Kyram Dear of Richmond is a bright, intelligent youngster with a great sense of humour who loves meeting new people. But he also has high physical needs as he is non-verbal and uses a wheelchair. However, he can communicate with people through assistive devices such as one that he controls by a tongue click. Like others his age, he attends school, loves slapstick comedy and is learning to read and write. Kyram lives with his widowed father, Myles Dear, who as a single parent is facing the challenges of being the primary caregiver for a child with a disability, leaving him little energy or time for things others take for granted like spending time with loved ones. A community support network is needed because many people with disabilities, like Kyram and his dad Myles, do not always have a strong personal support network, namely those people who help us out. The Lifetime Networks program run by Citizen Advocacy Ottawa provides families in these circumstances with trained facilitators to assist them in developing a personal community support network. Donna Thomson, Kyram’s Lifetime Networks facilitator, identified a significant area where help and support would have a great impact for Myles by giving him time to spend just being a date. This identified area is menu planning, shopping, food preparation and cooking.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

King’s Your Independent Grocer owner Chris King, left, stands with Mitch VanLankVeld, right, the store’s salad bar coordinator who helps assembling and preparing grocery orders submitted by Richmond single parent Myles Dear for his son Kyram. That’s why Ms. Thomson approached King’s Your Independent Grocer store in Richmond, telling them about the situation pertaining to Kyram and his dad Myles. King’s YIG owner Chris King did not hesitate upon hearing about the situation and offered to help. This help is being given through doing the shopping, doing some food preparation and delivering the groceries to Myles and Kyram each week. Here’s how it works: Myles prepares a shopping list through a phone APP MyShopperApp.com. Once a week, his list is downloaded at the store and the staff at the store does the shopping. Staff also chop up the fresh ingredients so that they are bitesized which reduces any choking hazard for Kyram. They are also made ready to cook. The groceries are then delivered by King’s YIG staff. All of this – the shopping, food preparation and delivery – saves Myles several hours each week, hours that he can now spend being Kyram’s dad. King’s YIG owner Chris King is happy to help out in this

situation. “We try our best to go above and beyond when it comes to customer service even if the customer is unable to make it into our store,” Mr. King says. “In Myles and Kyram’s case, we are trying to reach a new level of service to fit their particular needs.” And more is happening on the community support network front pertaining to Myles and Kyram. Ms. Thomson has recently found two nutrition students from Algonquin College who, under the supervision of a professor, have undertaken to provide a wide range of recipes that will ensure that Kyram gets all the nutrients that he needs through a variety of tasty meals. It is these recipes that Myles will upload to the MyShopperApp to produce the grocery shopping list each week. Ms. Thomson now wants to go further with regard to a community support network for

Myles and Kyram. She would like to engage Richmond residents in cooking these meals, using the pre-prepared recipes and ingredients. Such a commitment to be a volunteer cook could vary from cooking a meal a week to a meal a month, either in your home or at Kyram’s home. Another option that would be acceptable is if someone has a favourite recipe that could be prepared regularly for Kyram that fits with his nutritional needs and preferences. This could also be done. Becoming involved in a community support network for Myles and Kyram Dear is an opportunity for a Richmond resident to help someone in your home community by expanding Kyram’s circle of support. Myles points out that becoming involved with the community support network presents “an opportunity to get to know a beautiful and wonderful boy. To become part of his life.” And your involvement will also give Myles more time to spend just being a dad and enjoying Kyram’s sense of fun. For more information or to get involved with this new community support network, please contact Andrea Podruski, program manager for citizen Advocacy of Ottawa, at 613-7619522, ext. 229 or via email at apodruski@citizenadvocacy. org. Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa is a registered charitable organization dedicated to helping people with disabilities participate fully in the community life of Ottawa. Established in 1974, it has supported thousands of people with disabilities over the years. The Citizen Advocacy of Ottawa website can be found at www.citizenadvocacy.org.

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 It’s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite. A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹƒcult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plants’ roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients. How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

Gower (doors open at 7 p.m.). This event features the musical group Ambush. There also will be a silent auction and an appetizer reception as well as a cash bar. Tickets are $25 each and are available by calling Robyn at 613-2290319‌A pony club tack sale was held at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds last Saturday‌King’s Your Independent Grocer has been busily setting up its garden centre and expects a busy spring rush. It will have flowers, shrubs and soil – a good place for any gardener to check out‌

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of dierent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plants’ roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real dierence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderley’s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil – which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isn’t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6� soil depth (pro p – top o your growing areas with 2� of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. It’s that easy.

Manderley’s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, you’ll be amazed at the dierence.

Ottawa Public Library streaming online videos Laura Mueller laura.mueller@metroland.com

News - Streaming online video could be the next thing offered by the Ottawa Public Library. Library staff is currently researching the option of adding streaming video, like what’s available on YouTube or Netflix, to the library’s digital holdings. It would make thousands of videos, films and music albums available to anyone with an Ottawa Public Library card and a computer, smart phone or tablet device. It’s a service that’s picking up steam in the library world thanks to companies like Hoopla Indieflix and OverDrive, said Craig Ginther, manager of technology services for the library. The Toronto Public library added Hoopla’s streaming collection to its catalogue in early

April, making 10,000 films and 250,000 music albums available to its users. In Toronto, library users are limited to five Hoopla loans per month. About 130 North American cities offer the streaming service, including libraries in Hamilton, Guelph, Edmonton and Victoria. The possibility of streaming videos was just one of the technology initiatives Ginther highlighted in his update to the Ottawa Public Library board on April 14. The library is continuously expanding its digital offerings, including the quiet launch of a French-language e-book section within the last two weeks, Ginther said. The library is hoping to better integrate its digital offerings to make it easier for library users to find what they’re looking for. Instead of having separate digital catalogues for printed

books, English e-books and French e-books, the library will use APIs (application programming interfaces) to link those overlapping systems so they can be managed and viewed as one catalogue. In the next two months, library users will also start to see user recommendations added to the online catalogue at biblioottawalibrary.ca. The recommendations will be powered through Bookish, an online, user-generated recommendation engine. Ginther said he’s also keeping his eye on how devices like Apple’s iBeacon transmitter might be used to push messages directly to the cell phones of library users when they’re in a branch. The technology, which Ginther said is not currently used in libraries, could also be used to track which library branches and services users take advantage of. The issue of pri-

vacy and security for customers will be the top concern if Ottawa’s public library ever decides to investigate the possibility of using indoor positioning system transmitters. After the meeting board members got a sneak peek of the new “makerspace” at the Centrepointe branch which opened to the public on April 23. The centre, called Imagine Space: An American Corner, offers members of the public access to technology and tools needed to manufacture and create prototypes, products and videos. Two 3D printers, a 3D scanner, a laser cutter, a video camera and three Mac Pro computers with Adobe Creative Suite, including video editing software will be available in the makerspace thanks to a funding partnership with the U.S. embassy’s American Corners project.

Amazing Rams race Special to the News

Sports - The season-ending party for the Stittsville Minor Bantam Rams was a Stittsville Rams version of Amazing Race. And what a party it turned out to be – a series of challenging scenarios which the players had to meet. It all began at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Sunday, April 13 where a trivia challenge was used to stagger the field. The boys then donned their special Amazing Rams race gear comprising feather boas, pink beanies and oversized sunglasses as they took off to solve their first challenge. This was at Stittsville Sobeys where they had to shop for specific items to be donated to the Stittsville Food Bank. The next stop on this Amazing Rams race was at Pottery Playhouse at the Stittsville Shopping Centre where the boys had to pain the RAMS logo on a coaster. No problem, you say? Well, perhaps not in creating the Rams coaster but the challenge also involved the boys cleaning up after themselves, a real challenge for 13 year olds. The next step was at Value Village where the boys had to purchase an outfit for their coaches/drivers. The boys SUBMITTED seemed to take great pleasure in choosing gender and seaWorking on painting a RAMS logo on a coaster at the Pottery Playhouse in Stittsville as part of their Amazing sonally inappropriate wear in this challenge, all of which Rams race are, from left, Thomas Fossberg, Matthew Heer and Paul Yakabuski, while Adam Michalski, centre, was donated back to Value Village after the race. standing, looks on. The Amazing Rams race then was off to the toboggan hill at Walter Baker Park in Kanata where they had to identify the flavours of various baby food mush and then run up the hill to receive their next clue which sent them to Kittiwake Park in Stittsville. At Kittiwake Park, the boys had to devour some chocolate/butterscotch pudding to find a piece of bubble gum. But they had to do it using no hands! And the serving “plates� for this were unique, to say the least. It was then on to the final challenge which was at the Barley Mow at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road where the boys had their fingernails painted in Rams red, black and white. They then got to enjoy a much-deserved and delicious lunch with their parents and siblings at which they recapped the race and celebrated the past hockey season. The Stittsville Minor Bantam Rams may not have made the playoffs this season but they sure had a winning, championship-like season-ending party.

Stittsville Scouts make maple syrup Special to the News

News - Learning about a traditional Canadian spring activity. Fascinating. Developing solutions to situations that arose in reaping a springtime harvest. Innovative. And getting to taste the sweet product as it was being boiled and then in its ďŹ nished state. Priceless. This is what youth of the Stitts-

ville Scouts experienced as they took part in the ďŹ rst-ever maple syrup adventure of the 1st Stittsville Scout Group, a project which has generated a lot of interest which should ensure that the project will involve even more Scouts next spring. The primary goal of this maple syrup adventure was to provide Scout youth with the experience of making

maple syrup for their parents. But to achieve this, the Scouts had to plan and learn a lot. There was equipment planning, tree identiďŹ cation, learning how maple trees give sap, hiking through the bush on snowshoes, tapping trees by different methods, hauling the collected sap out of the bush via a self-created sled, sterilizing the boil-

ing equipment, reducing the sap to the ďŹ nal syrup product and creating the correct colour, density and sugar content for the maple syrup. Through conversations with Scout leaders, a landowner donated his land and its 12 maple trees for the project. It was anticipated that these trees would produce approximately 200 litres of sap.

But this initial site brought forth the offer of another parcel of land being made available for the project as well. Thus this maple syrup making project quickly grew from 12 trees on ten acres to 36 trees on 35 acres of land. Over two days of the March Break, Scout leaders and Scout youth strapped on snow shoes to walk through the woods to identify the maple trees to be tapped. See MAKING, page 54

Making maple syrup - tapping trees, collecting and boiling sap Continued from page 53

There are four kinds of maple trees which give sap – Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Black Maple and Silver Maple. The Scouts wanted to tap Sugar Maple trees as they are known for giving the highest sap flow and sweetest sap. After two days in the bush, identifying appropriate trees, a total of 48 spiles or taps were attached to 36 maple trees. The Scouts used a combination of modern spiles (taps with hose pipe attachments) and traditional spiles with hooks for hanging buckets. Under supervision, the Scouts carefully drilled into the trees using not only the tra-

ditional method of “auger brace and bit” but also the more modern electric cordless drill. But the Scouts quickly learned that electric drills can quickly run out of power in cold weather, a condition that does not impact hand held drilling tools. As the Scouts drilled into the trees, they discovered that the sap was flowing. This proved to be an exciting time of discovery as many had never experienced tapping a tree and certainly had never tasted sap coming directly from a maple tree. They discovered that maple sap is clear, watery and faintly sweet, a much different liquid from the maple syrup that is the ultimate product. The Scouts placed a total of 48 buckets

on their taps, with everyone eager to see how much sap would be forthcoming. But then Mother Nature took control. The taps and buckets were in place but, alas, winter returned. The sap stopped flowing as the temperatures sunk. Sap production was halted. Scout leaders went into the woods several times a week to check on the sap flow but winter was hanging on. There was zero sap flow. But on the weekend of March 29-30, the cold wintry temperatures relented and the right mix of freezing nights and warm days was approaching. See SCOUTS, page 55

Scouts learn all about making maple syrup Continued from page 54

In the first week of April, the Scouts discovered that the sap was running and this continued every night for ten days. It was time for harvesting the sap. The original goal of collecting 200 litres of sap was revised to 400 litres after just three days of collecting. And then all estimates were abandoned and it became more of an exercise to determine just how all of the sap that was flowing would be handled. In the middle of the ten days of collection, the Scouts had three consecutive days where 8, 12 and 9 buckets of sap were collected. This equaled 96, 120 and 108 litres of sap respectively. And that’s just in three days! The original plan was to use two propane stoves for boiling the collected sap to syrup. A third burner was quickly added while the Scouts became innovative about how the sap would be kept refrigerated until it could be processed. They hatched a plan to bury the buckets of sap in snow to do this. This turned out to be quite a logistical exercise for the Scouts. They assessed the amount of sap that was being collected daily versus the amount of sap that

could be boiled each day. They then determined now much had to be stored in snow so that it would not spoil. At the height of the collection, there were nine buckets of sap stored in a snow bank. After ten days, the Scouts and their leaders called an end to the collection of sap. Dragging heavy buckets of sap through soft snow and snow shoeing through icy water created by a rapid snow melt convinced them that the collection in the woods end. Over the course of ten days, just over 840 litres of sap were collected. This was over four times more than the initial goal of 200 litres. The boiling activities started on the third day of sap collection and continued until all of the sap was boiled. This maple syrup making adventure ended up generating just over 23 litres of maple syrup. As the sap was boiled down, it was moved inside to kitchen stoves where the final boiling and finishing process could take place. This involved using candy thermometers while also testing the viscosity and colour of the syrup. It was quickly discovered that as the sap boiled down, its sweetness increased. The Scouts were quick to observe this and

so there was no end to the eagerness of the Scouts to perform regular taste tests on the syrup as it went through its final cooking stages. This maple syrup adventure is now over. Jars of the syrup are being distributed to the Scouts who participated in the program. There is even a plan to hold a pancake breakfast for the Scout team involved in this program, with the breakfast featuring the Scouts own maple syrup. Paul Young-Davies, one of the Scout leaders involved in the project, extols the project as a great learning experience for the Scouts. They had never tapped maple trees before and never even realized that the sap from the trees is clear. “It was a pretty cool activity for them all around,” Scouter Young-Davies says about the Scouts’ involvement in the project. “It was fun,” he adds about the project, even though the Scouts sometimes got wet and cold. But their enthusiasm and energy made it all worthwhile. He admits that he was surprised how keen and energized the Scouts were for this project but admits as well that even the leaders were excited about the project.

The project had a lot of learning moments for the Scouts. They learned about the tree tapping equipment; about how to identify trees in wintertime; about what sap looks like and how sap is collected; about snow shoeing in the woods; about the value of old fashioned drilling techniques versus modern electric drills; about the weight of a bucket of sap and the need for a sled to transport these heavy buckets out of the woods; about boiling sap down to create syrup; and how the final syrup is created. All in all, it was a learning journey for the Scouts on which they saw how sap from trees was transformed into the syrup that ends up on pancakes. Mr. Young-Davies says that the Scouts not only learned a lot in the project but enjoyed the experience as well. He sees the SUBMITTED project as growing to involve Stittsville Scout Matthew Young-Davies, right, even more Scouts next year. The Scouts got help from foreground, and Scout leader Ian Macleod, the local business community. background, watch the sap boiling. Booster Juice provided the Scouts with 84 buckets for free, with the buckets being used to collect and store the sap. Home Depot provided the Scouts with clear plastic piping which was used in the tree tapping.

Winner adds colour to spring Special to the News

News - Five year old Alejandro (Alex) Moreno of Stittsville is a winner in the Easter colouring contest held by Kanata Centrum City Walk. Alex, a senior kindergarten student at Guardian Angels Catholic School in Stittsville, placed first in his age category in the contest. Among his prizes are a giant Easter bunny, chocolate figures, car sets and a science game. Winning in this Easter colouring contest is becoming something of a family tradition now since his sister Ana Carolina Moreno was the first place winner in her age category in the same contest last year. She was seven years old at the time.

This Easter colouring contest for Kanata Centrum City Walk was published in the Thursday, April 3 issue of the Stittsville News EMC, with contestants required to colour a black and white line drawing of an Easter bunny, a basket of Easter eggs and a carrot which was published. The contest, with a deadline of Monday, April 14, involved three age categories: 2-4 years old, 5-6 year olds and 7-10 year olds. Prizes in each age categories included huggable bunnies and other prizes. In addition, the winners from each category are being published in both the Stittsville News EMC and the Kanata Kourier-Standard EMC on Thursday, April 24 and the winning entries are being posted in the store windows at the Kanata Centrum City Walk.

Invention convention held at Sacred Heart John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Dragons Den, step aside! The hit CBC TV show which sees entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to five potential investors has neither the variety of ideas nor scope of inventions on display at the first-ever in-school invention convention at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville on Wednesday, April 16 and Thursday, April 17. And while these grade eight students displaying their creative inventions were not angling for monetary investments as those entrepreneurs and inventors appearing on Dragons Den do, they were very much angling for a good review by the teachers judging the exhibits, with the goal not being investment dollars but JOHN CURRY/METROLAND rather a trip to the regional innvention With their cream cheese slices which they displayed at the invention convention at Sacred Heart Catholic convention happening this week in High School last week are students, from left, Jessica Graham, Morgan Monette and Dallas Etmanskie. downtown Ottawa. There were teams of students, each displaying with a science-fair type exhibit an inventive solution to a problem that they see in today’s world. Innovative thinking and collaborative engagement were both required in the process. So you had the “Wonder Blanket,” the “Ultimate Brush,” the “Drink Beard,” the “Coaster Cup,” the “Safety Pillow,” “Harvey’s Hockey Tape,” “The Everything Pen,” the “Banana Cutterer,” the “Ultra Smell-Proof Hockey Bag,” “Panda Grip Tape,” the “Ketchup Stick,” “Tangle-Not Earphones,” the “Bass Buddy,” the “Core Cutter,” and more. Each one was a device to solve what the students had identified as a problem or difficulty in today’s society. The trio of Maxwell Cole, Alexander Meek and Jakob Rowsell displayed “The Clamp On,” a water bottle holder on a giraffe-like arm that catches any water spills in a cup. This device is meant to eliminate the inconvenience caused by water bottle spills. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Reaction to the device has been With their “Snap n’ Go Cleats” display at the invention convention at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in positive and the creators even have a Stittsville are students Robyn Davy, left, and Hannah Girard, right. website and business cards to back up

their business plan. Putting their foot down, as it were, on the problem of shoe odour was the student quartet of Thomas Fossberg, Ryan Blanchfield, Paul Yakabuski and Ross Campbell who have developed “The Shoe Freshner 3000.” To eliminate odour from shoes, the group have inserted air freshener beads on the interior sides of shoes. Initially they had tried putting the air freshener beads in the sole of the shoe but found that they were more effective and the shoe was more comfortable if the beads were inserted in the side of the shoe. The beads apparently stay effective for two months. The shoes with “The Shoe Freshner 3000” treatment have been tested via a five kilometer run with positive results. Still with footwear, the duo of Robyn Davy and Hannah Girard, who are both soccer players, came up with “Snap n’ Go Cleats,” a system that allows cleats used in sports (golf, soccer, etc.) to be attached to any flat soled shoe. The cleats can be easily removed before walking on pavement or other inappropriate surfaces. In addition, this “Snap n’ Go Cleats” are much cheaper than specific cleats, selling for an estimated $25. The girls tried clips, snaps and other devices to attach the cleats removed from sports cleats to the bottom of the flat soled shoes but discovered that the best solution was using heavy duty velcro. One advantage of the velcro is that it allows some flexibility in the shoe performance when running. Robyn and Hannah say that there is nothing on the market like this “Snap n’ Go Cleats” in terms of sports cleats. Their market survey indicated overall acceptance of the product, with feedback that the “Snap n’ Go Cleats” were easy to use. The girls produced a brochure to describe the product which also feature a QR code to direct potential customers to their website. SeE IDEAS, page 65

Ideas at Sacred Heart Continued from page 63

Grade eight students Jessica Graham, Dallas Etmanskie and Morgan Monette showed off their cream cheese slices at this invention convention. They believe that people have a problem putting cream cheese on a bagel and their cream cheese slices, which fit perfectly in a bagel, provide a fast and convenient way to apply cream cheese to a bagel. Their market research reveals that 80 percent of those asked said that they would buy and use such slices. And then there is “The Everything Pen,� a combination pen/pencil/highlighter developed by students Chelsea Mullen, Julia Benson and Autumn King. They had come up with the concept that it would be easier to keep track of a pencil (with eraser), pen and highlighter if all three were together rather than three separate items. They first tried taping the three together but this idea was abandoned in favour of a better one – combining them together with a screw, allowing one of them to be flipped around for use. Their ensuing market survey indicated that users liked the concept of this “The Everything Pen.� Sacred Heart students Alyssa Williams and Serena Kam, who also distributed business cards and had a QR code to direct people to their website, showed off their tooth brush with a floss dispenser in its handle. This is designed to make it easier and more convenient for a person to floss as well as brush their teeth. Research done by Alyssa and Serena shows that while people brush their teeth an average of 14 times a week, flossing is done much less

often even though flossing should be done as much as brushing. Their dental brush with attached floss dispenser is meant to make it easier to both brush and then floss since the brush and floss are both right there in hand. Their market survey indicated that most said that they would use the new device and that it would help them remember to floss as well as brush their teeth. Combining two functions in one device was also done by the grade eight student team of Madeleine Robillard, Rachelle Ashmore, Corri Burke and Alexandra Lee who combined a hair brush with a refillable spray device. This allows someone to brush their hair while also being able to easily spray the hair at the same time. Each team member tried the device and found that it saved a lot of time over having to do the brushing and spraying in two separate operations. The student trio of Nicolas Van Leeuwen, Rodrigo Fierro and Tyler Courtland demonstrated their soccer net prototype which allows the netting to be stored inside the top bar of JOHN CURRY/METROLAND the net. This means that the netting does not have to be removed from the net when not in Displaying their combined toothbrush and dental floss dispenser at the invention use but simply stored in the top compartment convention at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville are students Alyssa Williams, which can be locked. It is less labour intensive left, and Serena Kam, right. and more convenient, with the net easily used at any time. Such a net will be more expensive than the traditional net because of the storage area across the top but quicker set up, increased usage and easier storage would all offset any price difference. The students found that everyone who plays soccer who was asked about the idea liked it.

Spring is here – ďŹ nally

,((')+ ) + ,* & ()'+ + 0',)* $ "& +! ()' **

It’s time for the exciting transition back to outdoor exercise after a winter of stuffy indoor workouts, or lack of exercise all together. Although many of you are eager to lace up your shoes and hit the pavement in the fresh outdoor air, you must ďŹ rst ensure you have the right equipment and that you are exercising in moderation. Overtraining can lead to repetitive strain injuries which occur when exercise intensity, frequency or duration is excessive, and the exerciser doesn’t allow sufďŹ cient recovery in between workouts. Chronic insufďŹ cient recovery can actually do the body harm and set back training goals. In other words, overtraining can be counterproductive. Overtraining can also quickly lead to the development of injuries such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, metatarsal stress fractures, Achilles tendinitis and many more painful problems. The trick to proper spring training is

to start off slow, and build to your goal, safely and efďŹ ciently using proper support. These days more and more people are using custom orthotics and proper running shoes to correct biomechanical inefďŹ ciencies, which can keep them healthy during spring training. This is where the experts at BioPedhttp:// bioped.com in Ottawa can help. BioPed Pedorthists employ a highly disciplined approach around the assessment, fabrication, ďŹ tting and adjustment of many varieties of custom orthoticshttp://bioped.com/ about/right_process.asp every day. There is a large variety of orthotic types to help with the many different foot conditions that they see. Also, you shouldn’t have to wait until the problem develops fully before addressing the situation. Custom orthotics can be made for running shoes, sandals – or even roller blades or skates!

footwear including; athletic, comfort, sandals, and orthopedic extra depth shoes – all of which can be sized to ďŹ t most foot types. Patients are never left having to ďŹ nd a pair of shoes on their own at BioPed. Their experienced staff knows that can often result in improper selection. The main contributor to the very problem they are attempting to correct! If you’re ready to start spring train safely, or just enjoy a slow, leisurely spring stroll in ultimate comfort, it’s time to visit BioPed today.http://bioped.com/ locations/locations.asp?id=89

ACCESO fundraiser cancelled for this year; to return in 2015 Special to the News

News - ACCESO International, an incorporated, not-for-profit Ottawa-based Canadian charitable organization founded by Dr. Christine Gervais of Stittsville with a mandate is to promote and enable greater access to all levels of education in Latin America and the Caribbean, is not holding its flagship fundraising event this year. For the past 11 years, its “Sounds and Tastes of the Americas� has been ACCESO International’s major fundraising event, attracting hundreds of supporters raising funds for the goal of providing equal access to education. But ACCESO International has decided not to host this fundraising event this year, although the plan is to once again host it in 2015. The reason for the cancellation this year is that ACCESO International

is an entirely volunteer-operated organization and this year a decision was made to concentrate its limited human resources on project management and reporting. The cancellation means that ACCESO International will not have the income usually generated by the annual “Sounds and Tastes of the Americas� event, forcing a reduction or re-allocation of some project expenditures which had been planned. ACCESO International is hopeful that supporters will be generous this year and contribute donations so that ACCESO International projects planned for this year can continue. Donations can be made by cheque to ACCESO International, P>O. Box 11395, Postal Station H, Ottawa, Ontario K2H 7V2. Donations can also be made by credit card by phone at 613-831-9158 or through www.canadahelps.org. Among the projects being un-

dertaken by ACCESO International this year are $20,000 for ongoing post-earthquake reconstruction and replenishment of primary schools in Haiti; $17,000 for primary, junior and high school bursaries and teaching training for indigenous Lenca girls in Honduras; $8,000 for university education for youth of Haitian origin who are studying communication and medicine in the Dominican Republic; and $5,000 for early childhood education for Mayan children in remote mountainous regions in Guatemala. Since its founding in 1996, ACCESO International has worked in 12 countries helping 42 pre-schools and daycares; 22 primary schools and 6 high schools’ 20 women’s human rights workshops and cooperatives; 2 vocational centres and 2 orphanages; 2 dormitories; 6 libraries and 6 homework centres; 10 summer camps and 4 playgrounds; over

1,500 primary students with bursaries; over 350 high school students with bursaries; over 1,500 post-secondary students with bursaries; over 750 immigrant and refugee children; over 3,000 post-secondary students; over 5,000 high school students; over 12,000 primary students; over 1,300 preschool children; and over 13,000 library patrons. For thousands of children, ACCESO International has put pencils in their hands, notebooks on their desks, shoes on their feet, uniforms over their shoulders, school bags on their backs and, in some cases, food in their stomachs. For dozens of teachers, ACCESO International has put chalk in their hands, resources in their classrooms and books in their libraries. For dozens of youth, ACCESO International has paid for their tuition, their transportation, their books and their nourishment.

ACCESO International works with locally-based and Canadian affiliated organizations to provide financial support for marginalized children, youth and women so that they may study in their own country, within their own culture and in their own language. ACCESO International provides bursary assistance for individuals attending pre-schools, primary schools, high schools and post-secondary institutions. It also provides educational materials for pre-schools, day cares, schools, libraries, women’s centres, orphanages and homework centres. ACCESO International’s work is based on the understanding that access to education remains a significant problem in many developing countries. This unequal access to education is particularly significant for those living in rural or remote areas of developing countries.

The outdoors never sounded so GOOD!

SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM 8 Satellite Speakers 1 In-Ground Subwoofer 8 Ohm System Impedance matched for easy configuration Works with a standard AV receiver Includes 200 ft of outdoor burial speaker cable

$2788.00 LIMITED TIME OFFER!

The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM raises the bar of outdoor entertainment; featuring eight small satellite speakers that are evenly, yet discreetly, distributed throughout garden beds in addition to a belowground subwoofer, which disperses bass from a canopy hidden under the foliage. This results in high quality, crystal clear sound that is the perfect volume throughout the entire back yard. The SONARRAY SR1 SYSTEM eliminates problematic loud areas that can make conversation difficult while at the same time addressing quiet areas where you can barely hear the music. Due to the nature of the setup all of the speakers face inwards causing all sound to be contained within your back yard, so your neighbours will love it as well!

Armchair walking tour with lots of stories John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

age in the village at that time and they had quite a time when these troops visited the village on this occasion. And on a more mischievous note, Kay Armitage told how she stole a Christmas tree from the Lewis farm in the village during her youth. Ann McCooeye, who lived with her husband Elroy in an apartment over Bradley’s General Store in 1953, told about a late night incident where their neighbour, local Ontario Provincial Police officer Lloyd Crego, was being sought to quell a fight that had broken out in the village. The presence of three doors upstairs at Bradley’s General Store led to some confusion in contacting officer Crego and resulted in some scampering about by Elroy in his underwear.

Frank Argue related the tale about how Sir John A. Macdonald himself apparently spoke from the balcony of the Temperance Hotel in Stittsville. And Rosemary Brummell told about how she discovered that “Big Bill,” a character who lived on the Carp Road and was a frequent sight around the village, was really a kindhearted person, not the feared personality that his presence evoked among children in the village. “Big Bill” had a lot of cats at his home but when Rosemary put an ad in the paper about a big orange cat that had been found, it was “Big Bill” who phoned and described the cat perfectly but then did not reclaim it upon knowing that it had found a good home.

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Marion Gullock, left, and Lesley McKay, right, stand with one of the display boards filled with photos of Stittsville scenes which they had in their presentation on Stittsville Main Street at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s April meeting last Saturday afternoon at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. R0012635027

News - It started out as an armchair walking tour but evolved as it went along into a fascinating storytelling session. All in all, ranging from the 100 or so old photographs of Stittsville and its people, including many scenes along Stittsville Main Street to the comments and reminiscences of presenters Lesley McKay who grew up in Stittsville and Marion Gullock, a 55 year resident, to the stories from audience members which were prompted by the presentation, it turned into a memorable afternoon for all who packed the meeting room at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library last Saturday afternoon for this April monthly meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. The photographs on display, which were used to guide the armchair walk along Stittsville Main Street, came from the Historical Society’s collection as well as from Lesley McKay’s family collection. The armchair walk proceeded from the north end of the street to the south end, touching on Dilawri Motors with its famous motto “Just Beyond The Fringe” to a traditional tobogganing hill beside Poole Creek to the Goulburn Bowling Lanes that later became the Kiltie MacTavish Furniture Warehouse to Stittsville Public School which opened in 1947 with two classrooms to the McEvoy house and candy store across the street from the school to the Loyal Orange Lodge which is now the Stittsville Legion Hall to the Holiness Movement Church across the street which became MacDougall Sales and Service and on it went. There was mention of the building which housed the Union Bank and Fred Bradley’s first general store to a reference to the Samuel Mann store which stood at the northwest corner of Stittsville Main Street and Abbott Street to the railway station to the Temperance Hotel at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Orville Street to the Stittsville Lumber building which later housed Marion Gullock’s village gift shop and Bradley’s Insurance and later the Pixie Garden Centre to Bradley’s General Store which was recently gutted by fire across the street, with the former Stittsville News building and Bell Telephone switching centre behind it. And as the tour proceeded south, there was mentioned of Bill Oliver’s jewellery store, Switzer’s Welding, the Roger’s Cleaners building which had been the Lewis store, the new Union Bank building which became the Royal Bank and is now the location of Pretty Pots Florist,

the McCaffrey house and car dealership, the Purina Feed Mill, Art Bassett’s garage, the Bell house which is now a day care at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Elm Crescent which Orville Parks built for a whopping $17,000 at the time, the Bell Service Centre where Tom Bell and Everett Bradley worked for years and which is now the Ultramar gas bar and plaza, St. Thomas Anglican Church, and the Stittsville village municipal office. But it was the stories interspersed with this armchair tour, some told by Lesley MacKay and Marion Gullock but others told by those in the audience, that transformed this into a fascinating afternoon. Lesley MacKay told of finding the diary of her mother Lorraine (Parks) which made frequent mention of going skating at the old Stittsville rink behind Bradley’s store virtually every day during the winter. And speaking of the rink, Frank Argue told how Milton Scott, who looked after the rink, would allow hockey to go on to midnight at the rink provided he got a ride afterwards to his home at the south end of Stittsville Main Street. And Lesley McKay told how her grandfather Orville Parks built the family home at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Alexander Street (now a law office) when he was young and where a family of ten children was raised. Marion Gullock told how there was a Couples’ Club in the village in the early 1960’s which held a dance once a month but since the village was “dry” at that time, everyone met at someone’s house beforehand for some “refreshments” before going on to the dance. And membership in the Couples’ Club was by invitation only and she and her late husband Bill did not get invited to take part for several years after moving to the village. And Kay Armitage (nee Bradley) who grew up in Stittsville told how Anna Boyle, who lived on Stittsville Main Street, was the community’s reporter for the Ottawa Journal and so she and other youth would try to be noticed around her house in order to get a mention in the newspaper. And Kay Armitage’s account of a time during wartime in 1941 when soldiers marched along Stittsville Main Street was priceless. She told how because of the war, there were virtually no young men in Stittsville and then suddenly these 100 troops showed up and stayed overnight at Lorne Wagar’s garage on Stittsville Main Street where dancing went on until midnight. Kay explained that this was great as there were only about ten girls of appropriate

Friendship Club Special to the News

News – The next monthly luncheon of the Friendship Club will take place on Wednesday, April 30 starting at 12 noon at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club. Entertainment at the luncheon will be provided by Terry Bennett. To reserve a place at this luncheon, please phone Rosemary at 613-836-6354 or Gloria at 613-8318819 by this Friday, April 25.

The Friday afternoon bridge that is usually held at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena has been shifted to the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners until the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena and hall are re-opened which is expected to be at the beginning of July. Friendship Club activities at the Pretty Street Community Centre are exercise on Mondays at 10 a.m. (contact Helen at 613-836-6766); bridge on Fridays at 1 p.m. (contact Ray at 613-836-6363); and euchre on Fridays at 7 p.m. (contact Heather at 613-838-2743).

There’s no such thing as a family pet on the farm

I

t was a wet and long spring that year. And the winter coldness was yet to fade away to warmer days, leaving a chill in the air that seemed to penetrate our very bones. But it was lambing time, and the joy of welcoming those tiny little bodies of wool out on the farm in Northcote, took away the greyness of the season, and filled my heart with unspeakable joy. Although I never wanted to see the actual births, it wasn’t long after the deliveries that I was in the barn, leaning on the board rail of the lambing pen, watching the mothers nudge their babies, who with wobbly legs were trying, to find firm footing. That year Father was pleased with the number of lambs born in the barn, and with two or three ewes yet to give birth, everything pointed to a bit of relief from the cares of the Depression. There would be wool and meat to market, easing the constant worries of survival when poverty was all around us. When the very last ewe delivered, two tiny bodies emerged, but alas, one was as black as ink. Father who prided himself on the white wool he took to market, shook his head, and then said, “Don’t think it’s going to make it anyway... it’s just a little runt of a thing, I doubt if it will see the end of the day.” At that very moment I claimed the little black lamb for my very own. I called it Lambie most of the time, but sometimes, called it Blackie. I asked Father if I could look after it, and from then on, the little lamb and I were inseparable. I fed it milk from a little bottle belonging to one of my dolls, and to my utter joy, not only did it survive

MARY COOK Memories

would always be a baby sheep as far as I was concerned. I remember the day everything changed. It was a cold and wet late spring day. I wondered if summer would ever come. We had to wear our rubber rain coats and rubber boots and carry our shoes with our books and lunch to the Northcote school. As we neared the house after school, I could see that Mother even had the lamps lit, and for once I didn’t go to the barn, but stayed in the cozy kitchen. And then it was suppertime, and I still hadn’t gone to the barn to check

on Lambie, sure that it would be as warm as toast on a mound of hay with all the other sheep. Our supper was ample as usual, and just as I was tucking into my bowl of apple crisp, Emerson, who had been unusually quiet all through the meal, asked me if I enjoyed my meal. Which was unusual for Emerson, because he was usually only interested in his own stomach. I assured him I did. “Well, you just ate Lambie” he said. I looked around the table. No one raised their eyes. Mother busied

herself at the stove, and Father reached over and patted my hand, and told me again that we couldn’t raise farm animals as pets. Nausea swept over me like a cold wet blanket, and I ran to the privy like someone possessed. My stomach ached from being so sick and I thought I may not survive. Could anyone die from a broken heart, I wondered? The feeling of utter sadness and helplessness stayed with me long after that fateful night had passed. It was the night I vowed never again in my lifetime would I ever eat a mouthful of lamb.

that day, and the night, but began to show signs of growing into a healthy and sturdy sheep. I was too young to know that you didn’t raise domestic animals on the farm as pets. They would eventually end up at the market, or in the smoke house. Or, more than likely, I just put the thought out of my mind. Lambie and I would grow old together. And it grew, and only when I was at school or in the house, or in bed, were we apart. It followed me around the barn yard, and while Sunday, June 1st, 2014 it was still tiny, I carried it in my Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre arms as if it were a little puppy. 10:00 A.M.—3:00 P.M. And I watched in wonder, as Lambie $6.00/person — kids under 1 FREE grew. I even hated to go off to school and leave Lambie behind. My brother Emerson thought it NEW! was pure nonsense Shu le available from to have a lamb as a pet. More vehicles = shorter lines Woodroffe High “It’s not a lamb anymore,” he said. school See your favourite truck quicker! “It’s a full grown sheep.” As if that made a whit of difference about how I felt about Lambie.

with Clean Eating and Active Living Drink to your

Greco’s Fat Loss

One of the best ways to spring cleanse is to add whole food smoothies to your day. We all know that it is important to get your 8-10 servings a day of veggies and fruits but with a busy life how do you fit it all in? Our solution…. WHOLE FOOD SMOOTHIES! Simply blend away and voila, you can easily get your daily target!

A recent study done by The International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism tested the degree that the metabolism was elevated after exercise with a group of individuals that didn’t eat breakfast and a group that did. They tested how many calories were burned, 12 and 24 hours after the aerobic workout. The results showed that the amount the metabolism was elevated after the workout was much greater both 12 and 24 hours after for the group that did eat breakfast. As well, the group that ate breakfast resulted in much more fat being used for energy rather than carbohydrates. To sum it up, pre-workout breakfast has a long-term value for fat loss. By eating breakfast, more fat will be burned during the work, and the metabolism will be elevated to a much greater degree up to 24 hours post workout.

News - A lot has changed since the OC Transpo lost and found opened in 2001. For one thing, it receives far fewer CDs in need of being reunited with their owners. Walkmans have since been replaced on its shelves with iPods and smart phones. “You can really see the cycle of technological development here,� said Moe Moloughney, executive director of Heartwood House. The charity – and Moloughney – have presided over the discarded flotsam and jetsam found on buses and the O-Train since 2001, when the city showed “creativity� in partnering with Heartwood House to provide the lost -and-found. Instead of contracting the service to a company, Heartwood House is able to provide confidence-boosting jobs and real-life testing for participants of its literacy programs. Heartwood House embarked on the lost-and-found’s biggest change to date this winter when it moved to a new location at 404 McArthur Ave. That’s where the annual sale

and auction of lost items will take place on Saturday, May 3 from noon until 2 p.m. The sale will actually be held in the sanctuary of the Unitarian church next door because it has more space. On offer will be a selection of electronics, instruments and other high-value items that have gone unclaimed for too long. Those items will be sold through silent auction. Thousands of other things like books, umbrellas, Thermoses and bags will be priced for sale, most under $5. “It’s lots of fun, Moloughney said. “It’s a great advantage to scoop up a bargain.� The items are what’s left behind from the 100 to 200 things left behind on the transit system each day. Anyone searching for their lost items can contact Heartwood House at 613-563-4011 or lostandfound@heartwoodhouse. ca. or drop by starting at 8 a.m., but wait until the next day. Items are held by OC Transpo security staff overnight until they can be delivered to Heartwood House for sorting the next day. Then, Heartwood House members get to work registering the items onto forms. Things

of high value get entered into a computerized registry. Each day has its own box, because that’s usually the easiest way to match people with what they lost – at first. After a couple weeks, the detritus is sorted into boxes by type of stuff –gloves and mittens, children’s toys, travel mugs, books and a surprisingly high number of full-to-the-brim backpacks. Bikes don’t come to Heartwood House – the police handle those – but the lost-andfound has been known to have a wheelchair or two. 31 DAYS

Most things are kept for 31 days. Wallets, jewelry, cellphones and electronics get to hang around for two months in the hopes that someone will return for them. But when they don’t, it goes into the annual sale. While the charity does make some money from the sale – usually around $3,000 or $4,000 – it’s just as much about clearing out the up to 4,000 items that can accumulate over a busy winter of people losing their stuff.

If you’re currently on course, recently licensed, considering a change of careers, you will wish to attend.

Here’s what you’ll learn about

city, those who live in Sandy Hill near the University of Ottawa are the biggest culprits for losing things, Moloughney said – or at least, their stuff has the highest return rate. Residents of the east end, especially Vanier and Orleans, also seem to leave items on the bus at a higher rate than west-enders, she said. Presto cards – now used for passes and payment on OC Transpo – are becoming a popular item in the lost-and-found, Moloughney said. Since the cards are transferrable and don’t have any identification on them, they can be hard to return. OC Transpso destroys most found Presto cards before they get to Heartwood House. If the card is registered, the balance is protected. But the cards can be returned if people find a way to put their name on their card or attach it to another ID. Moloughney said it’s not the type or number of items lost that surprises her – it’s the number of items people turn in. “That kind of kindess strikes me,� she said. “People call here expecting a 50-50 chance of kindness ... There is extraordinary kindness happening every day on our buses.�

News - Waste Management is hosting a community information session about a zoning bylaw amendment application on Tuesday, May 6 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the NEXT Restaurant at the corner of Hazeldean Road and West Ridge Drive in Stittsville.

Everyone is welcome to attend this community information session.

Sports - Those who buy a new car like to give it a test drive to see what it’s like. In much the same vein, perhaps those considering a sport might want to “test drive” the sport before committing to it. That’s why the West Ottawa Ringette Association (WORA) is holding a free “Bring a friend and come try ringette!” event on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Bell Sensplex on Maple Grove Road in Kanata. The time from 10 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. is aimed at those aged 4 to 6 years of age who might be interested in the sport of ringette. From 11 a.m. to 11:50 a.m., those aged 7 and up will be taking to the ice. This free “Come Try Ringette” event is an opportunity for youngsters and youth who would like to get out on the ice and try out the game of ringette to do so, getting a feel for the game. Perhaps you are already a ringette player but have a friend whom you would like to see trying out the game. This is the chance to do this. You can even try it out together! Or maybe you are a hockey player who would like to learn more about ringette. This is a chance to check the sport out. All you need is a pair of skates, a helmet and a pair of gloves, either hockey gloves or a regular pair of winter gloves. Ringette sticks will be available for use. This free “Come Try Ringette” event being hosted by WORA for those between the ages of 4 and 16 has been made possible thanks to the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport which through Ontario’s Sport and Recreation Communities Fund has provided a grant to WORA to hold such events to enable more young girls to try the sport of ringette. And young girls between the ages of 4 and 7 and their families do not have to worry about equipment for those who are new to the sport of ringette. This is because WORA has an equipment loan program for new ringette players aged 4 to 7 that will provide up to 26 such players with all of the necessary equipment except for a helmet and skates.

Everyone is welcome to attend this open house and see the Sharks teams perform. The open house is also a good opportunity for those who might think that they are interested in becoming a Cheer Sport Shark to see some routines and get an idea of what is involved in being a cheerleader. The open house is happening just before team placements for next season get underway. These team placements will happen from Tuesday, May 13 to Thursday, May 15 at the Iber Road gym. Everyone interested makes a team – a great opportunity to become a Shark and have a lot of fun while entertaining people with awesome cheers.
