Recycling depot Special to the News

EMC news - Calling all old electronic equipment that is just lying around. You now have someplace to go.

Whether now in a home where it is not being used or in a business, you can now get rid of this electronic equipment in an environmentally responsible way and even help out a local school with fundraising as well.

What a win-win situation!

That’s because the Stittsville Public School Council is hosting an electronics recycling depot this Saturday, April 27 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the parking lot at the school on Granite Ridge Drive in Stittsville. And it will be easy – pop by, drop off the equipment and away you go – wow, even Tim Hortons has nothing on this quick and easy procedure!

This is all being done in celebration of Earth Day which officially took place last Monday, April 22.

And just what can you drop off? Well, just about anything and everything electronic. This includes televisions, monitors, desktop and laptop computers, tablets, computer peripherals like mice and keyboards, printers, photocopiers, telephones, answering machines, cell phones, home theatre equipment like speakers and turntables, photo/audio/video equipment – whew, that’s just about everything electronic that you might have lying around unused in your home or business. And how does the fundraising work? Well, there is no cost to you. What happens is that for every tonne of old electronics collected, the School Council at Stittsville Public School will receive funds from Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES), a provincially-mandated program. These funds received will go directly to support the school.

EMC news - One of the area’s best known personalities is coming to the Family Fundraiser Fun Day on Saturday, May 4 at the Stittsville Shopping Centre.

Max Keeping, the former CTV Ottawa news anchor and renowned community supporter is expected to drop into the event which will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. that day, rain or shine.

“It should be fun,” Sandra Edwards of Dandelions Kids consignment shop and or-

ganizer of the event says about this Family Fundraiser Fun Day. It is meant to be a way for the businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre to give back to the community, staging a fun and free event.

Students from Stittsville performing in plays John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - There’s a Stittsville connection to the double bill of Canadian plays being performed at Canterbury High School in Ottawa from Wednesday, May 1 through Saturday, May 4.

This is an annual tradition at Canterbury High School in which the school’s Arts Canterbury Theatre graduating grade 12 students present two plays. This year the plays are being presented together, with “Ten Lost Years” happening outside at 5 p.m. while “Schoolhouse” will start inside at 7 p.m.

And now for the Stittsville connection.

Three of the students involved – Jordan Campbell, Alex Covell and Kourtney Kelly – live in Stittsville, all having attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School.

And all three, like all of the students, are involved with the plays, both on stage and behind the scenes.

Jordan, for instance, is the assistant director of “Schoolhouse” while he also plays the role of the Colonel, a school inspector who intimidates the students. Alex is also involved with “Schoolhouse,” playing the role of Mr. Cote, a school board trustee who is evaluating a teacher’s performance. But he is also the play’s lighting coordinator and also its dramaturg, the person charged with ensuring the play’s historical accuracy.

Kourtney, on the other hand, is acting in the play “Ten Lost Years,” a play involving a lot of scenes, playing a different character in each one. But besides her on-stage presence, Kourtney is also involved with publicity and fund-

These two shows involving the graduating students are being surrounded by other attractions. Starting at 4:30 p.m. on each night, there will be a county fair held including food, music, games, prizes, raffles and even a silent auction. So, go for the county fair, enjoy “Ten Lost Years” at 5 p.m. outside, rain or shine thanks to tents for the audience, and then move inside and enjoy “Schoolhouse” at 7 p.m.

“Ten Lost Years” is a collective-style play,

telling the true stories of people who lived in Canada during the Great Depression. It uses music from the era along with genuine stories to provide a glimpse of the struggles Canadians were facing during the Depression.

Kourtney Kelly says that there is music in virtually every scene of this play. She notes as well that the play will show how people had to deal with having nothing in the Depression “It’s going to have that dirty thirties feel,” she confirmed.

“Schoolhouse,” another Canadian play, is set in rural Ontario in 1938. The play follows the trials and tribulations of a young teacher, Miss Linton, as she wrestles an unruly group of students into shape.

A new student joining the group from a training school for boys brings out the prejudices of a tight knit community.

Jordan Campbell says that “Schoolhouse” offers something for everyone, touching on issues like education, the role of teachers and issues like bullying and accepting others.

But he says that the play is lots of fun that should entertain the whole family.

“There’s something for everyone in it,” he says.

Alex Covell echoes these sentiments, saying that everyone will find something of interest in the play, with lots of ideas that the audience can think about.

“It’s a fun play,” Alex says. “It has heart to it.”

He calls it a comedy with a touch of bittersweet reality.

Jordan Campbell wants to focus on theatre in his post-secondary studies, preferably on stage. Alex Covell will be entering a film studies program at the University of Ottawa but with a view to directing rather than acting.

Kourtney Kelly will be off to New York City in the fall to study film and television at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts.

I was very pleased to see representation from throughout RideauGoulbourn as I noticed residents from Ashton, Richmond, North Gower, Kars as well as the many residents from Manotick and from Osgoode Ward. It can be difďŹ cult at times to engage the community in OfďŹ cial Plan business, so it was quite refreshing to see such a large turnout to look at the proposed policies and provide feedback through a rural lens.

The MVCA has provided us with an As It Was Heard report which really captures the opinions and thoughts of the attendees quite nicely.

There were several common themes that were highlighted at the meeting, including Country Lot Estate subdivisions, intensiďŹ cation, lot severances, village development, as well as various transportation policies.

As it the case every now and then, someone asked the question “does what we say matter?� I can tell you that, without question, it does.

As I mentioned earlier, it is very difďŹ cult to gain feedback on OfďŹ cial Plan policies because they lack “sexinessâ€? in the grand scheme of things.

This report compiled of comments made throughout the consultation will provide valuable feedback to me and my colleague, Councillor Thompson. We both sit on the ďŹ ve-member Sponsors Group along with Councillors’ Jan Harder, Peter Hume and Keith Egli. This sponsors group oversees the entire OP Review process.

Another comment made was regarding what happens in ďŹ ve years, which I believe was made in reference to the country lot estate subdivision moratorium. The OfďŹ cial Plan is reviewed every ďŹ ve years and, if continued, the moratorium will be reviewed at that time as well.

It is important to note that there are currently 1600 approved lots in addition to 1200 lots in the application process so the idea that there are not enough lots is a bit of a fallacy. If the extension of the moratorium is approved, we will re-evaluate the status of these applications and staff will again recommend a course of action in 2018.

Finally, I just wanted to comment on the notion of user pay systems on our roadways within the City of Ottawa. There are absolutely no recommendations in this OP Review to implement a user pay system in the form of toll roads or charges of extra distance travelled. What the OP Review does say is that staff will look at various user pay approaches going forward for future debate in subsequent reviews ďŹ ve to ten years from now. Also, any recommendation to implement a user pay system would have to be approved by the Provincial Government. Personally, I would never vote in favour of a user pay system that punishes residents of Ottawa. To encourage alternative methods of transportation, we need to think of positive ways rather than negative ones. We don’t need to force people to take transit or to cycle; we need to provide the options to make it the most convenient choice.

Thanks again to the Manotick Village & Community Association on organizing the OfďŹ cial Plan Review meeting and thanks also to the many residents who took the time to attend.

EMC news - It was pickup day for rain barrels being sold by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA) last Saturday but the chilly weather with a blustery wind made it seem more like a “snow” day than any day associated with items related to rain.

But despite the cold weather, the SVA was able to provide rain barrels to those who had ordered them, along with the appropriate overflow hose and other accessories. This year’s barrels were mainly black and grey in colour although there were some terracotta, some blue and a few white ones. Indeed, Troy MacKay showed up early and withstood waiting in the chilly weather to ensure that he was able to get a terracotta rain barrel, a colour that goes with the brick of his house.

The rain barrels were dispensed to customers from 10 a.m. through to 2 p.m., with volunteers from the SVA on hand to help the purchasers and ensure that each rain barrel had all of the required accessories with it. SVA executive members who were on hand include president Phil Sweetnam, immediate past president Marilyn Jenkins, who coordinated this year’s SVA rain barrel sale along with SVA director Tanya Hein, Christine Hartig, Claude Keon, David Fairbrother, Doug Sutherland and Ayah Stretch. In addition, Rhonda Ferderber, a community resident, was there again this year, just like last year, to lend a hand.

The pickup for purchasers happened at Stittsville Sobeys where owner Tim LaPlante’s staff had unloaded the delivery truck of all of the barrels and had them stacked up in the pickup area. At 2 p.m. on Saturday, with the ending of the pickup period, Stittsville Sobeys staff took leftover barrels into the store where Stittsville Sobeys will be selling them on behalf of the SVA. Mr. LaPlante is also on the SVA executive.

Because this year’s sales of rain barrels were down from last year when more than 400 barrels (a truckload) were sold, the SVA made the decision to bring in a truckload of barrels again this year, even though not all of them had been pre-sold. These additional barrels, some 120 or so, will now be sold by Stittsville Sobeys on behalf of the SVA.

One of Boston’s finest hours

T

ragedies bring out the best and the worst in people.

In the case of the explosions at the Boston Marathon on April 15, the worst is painfully obvious.

Three people dead, including an eight-year-old boy, and more than 100 others injured.

This was an attempt to create terror, to hurt people, possibly to make a political statement.

When the bombs went off, a flood of people rushed onto the streets. At first, it was a knee-jerk reaction to the horror and confusion of the scene.

But almost immediately afterwards, another, larger flood of people rushed towards the site of the blasts, nurses, doctors, paramedics and emergency workers helping the victims and sealing off the area.

Runners stranded on route to the finish line were surrounded by Boston residents who offered them clothing, water, warm clothing and cellphones to contact their loved ones.

If this was one of Boston’s worst hours, it was also one of its finest.

This act of terror did not have the presumably desired effect, if the reactions of some of the runners we spoke to following the blast is anything to judge by.

Many runners praised the marathon and said they

hoped to compete in it again.

Ottawa will play host to its own prestigious running event, Ottawa race weekend on May 24 and 25.

Following the explosions at the Boston Marathon, Ottawa race weekend organizers acknowledged that the attack made them more conscious about security surrounding the annual race.

But it certainly won’t stop them from holding the event.

Terrorists have tried in the past to instill a culture of fear surrounding large public gatherings – for instance the backpack bombing at the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics Games that killed two people and injured 120.

But every Olympics since has simply grown bigger and better.

And the athletes and the fans continue to flock to the events.

Acts of terrorism are hard to predict and difficult to completely prevent, however they are rare events and have a negligible effect on public opinion, except to make them more security conscious.

The Boston Marathon bombing is no different.

The resiliency of the fans and runners in the face of a horrific crime is one more example of tragedy bringing out the best in people.

Life on Mars: the job-cutting economics of science fiction

F

ew people realize the connection between economics and science fiction, but the similarities are dramatic.

Most obvious, is the language component. The jargon-laden gibberish spoken by economists closely resembles the techno-slang uttered by space warriors.

For one there is incentivization and confronting redundancies, for the other there is the antigravity field and the leap to hyperspace — both equally intelligible.

But there are other similarities, such as the common belief in vaporization. This is most apparent when attacks on budget deficits are in season, as they are now. Both corporate and governmental decision-makers are vigorously seeking to better their bottom line.

At tax time, we in Ottawa know what those who are doing the cutting think: they reduce their costs and their bottom line looks better.

For a corporation, that means increased value for shareholders; for a government, it means applause from the media and some of the voters.

Thus, you get events like government cuts to the compliance program of the Canada Revenue Agency, which will involve about 300 full-time jobs. You get decisions like the closing of seven Department of Fisheries and Oceans libraries across the country, one of them opened only last

Funny Town year. The move has been deplored in the scientific community. No figures about jobs lost have been released, but you know there will be some.

We can leave to more learned people the assessment of the efficiencies involved. Can more really be done with less, as the job-slashers always insist? There’s always a first time.

More important, and less frequently examined, is the question of what happens to those people whose jobs are lost. Somehow an assumption is made that these cuts have no impact. Those who lose their jobs happily trundle off to other jobs. Or, perhaps, they just vanish, leaving blameless employers happily to contemplate their improved bottom line.

The concept of the vaporized unemployed fits nicely with the theory that societal happiness is the sum of all the corporate and governPublished weekly by:

mental bottom lines.

But what if laid-off people don’t actually disappear? What if they turn up at some other office looking for work? And what if that office is in the process of confronting redundancies too?

What you have then is a number of people who are out of work, who can’t buy things, who pay less or no taxes. That doesn’t help the economy. The more cuts are made, the more of such people there are. Assuming they are not vaporized.

In addition to the economic cost are the human costs — children who have to do without, parents who can’t afford day care.

There are certainly corporate and government economists out there who can explain how this benefits our society, but their explanations escape me right now.

When governments say they want to crack down on tax evasion, how does that go with laying off some of the people involved in that?

When governments say that job creation is their aim, how is that aim advanced by eliminating jobs?

Perhaps in outer space, it works, where the rules may be different. Perhaps in outer space, you can create jobs by cutting jobs. Perhaps in outer space that’s the usual way of doing things.

Not having any knowledge to the contrary, we can imagine that, in outer space, budget deficits can be put into a transporter and made to vanish into another galaxy. We can imagine that jobs can be created with a Laser Job Creation Apparatus (patent pending).

It is a bit harder to imagine that down here.

If the jobless are vaporized, who are all those folks down at the food bank? Yet it clearly is part of the belief systems of those who are making the big decisions.

It can’t do any hard harm to cut 300 jobs, they reason. Actually, it will do good. Yeah, that’s the ticket. It works on Mars.

The McCormicks have built up strong community partners such as Herzing College (where Dave is vicepresident), VIA Rail, Giant Tiger and McEwan Homes in ensuring the tournament is a success, Arthur said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The number of sponsors they get blows me away.â&#x20AC;?

The latest tournament featured four menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and two womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divisions as well as challenge games between four minor hockey teams from Arnprior, Mississippi Mills, West Ottawa and Kanata. The tournament has become a popular social event as well, with entertainment on the Friday and Saturday evenings.

Dave said the couple are honoured to have been chosen for the medals and pleased because it recognizes the importance of the charity organization which the hockey tournament supports.

The Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee Medal was created in 2012 to mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth IIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accession to the throne as Queen of Canada. Besides honouring Her Majesty for her long tenure and service as Queen of Canada, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal also honours the significant contributions and achievements of those Canadians who have received it. Only 60,000 Canadians from across the country have been recognized by receiving this Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee Medal.

EMC news â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Stittsville couple behind the long-running â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Hurt to be a Childâ&#x20AC;? hockey tournament in Arnprior have received Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diamond Jubilee Medals Dave and Sylvie McCormick were officially presented with the medals on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, March 27 by Senator Mac Harb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good news, fantasticâ&#x20AC;? said Arnprior parks and recreation director Glenn Arthur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very well-deserving.â&#x20AC;?

He said the McCormicks have been running the hockey tournament that raises money for child victims of violence and their families for well over 20 years. As the tournament has grown over the years, so too has the awareness for the cause, said Arthur.

Organizing the tournament is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real husband-and-wife projectâ&#x20AC;? for them, Arthur noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do a pile of work.â&#x20AC;?

The annual three-day tournament each November raises awareness and money to help the Victims of Violence Canadian Centre for missing children and the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;It Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Hurt to be a Childâ&#x20AC;? program. The McCormicks

were nominated for the medals by the Victims of Violence organization.

Dave and Sylvie McCormick live in Stittsville but Dave was born and raised in Arnprior, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still â&#x20AC;&#x153;close to my heart,â&#x20AC;? he notes.

Dave McCormick says he hooked up with the Victims of Violence charity in 1990. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;I and Sylvie want all to know we are not the heroes,â&#x20AC;? he maintains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The true heroes behind all our efforts are Gary and Sharon Rosenfeldt, the founders of Victims of Violence,â&#x20AC;? Dave says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their work is the legacy.â&#x20AC;?

He noted that Gary has died since the tournament started but Sharon lives in Carleton Place.

At Garyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memorial service a few years ago, it was said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Canada just lost a hero,â&#x20AC;? noted Dave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is why we do what we do,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The tournament has grown to have a large following, with about 50 teams from many different communities, including Stittsville and Kanata, playing in the tournament last Nov. 16-18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great cross-section of hockey players coming together to be involved in a great cause,â&#x20AC;? says Arnprior parks and recreation director Arthur.

Hydro Ottawa awarded for going green

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Waiting to get underway in the 2013 annual Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race last Saturday are, from left, Lynn Hebert, Matthew Pilon and Steve Hebert. They went on to win the Trailhead Cup in the family class in the race.

Unforgettable Upper Jock River Race John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Hydro Ottawa is increasing the supply of clean energy, bringing innovative solutions to energyconscious consumers and businesses, and taking steps to green its own operations. In recognition of these efforts, Hydro Ottawa was distinguished as one of Canada’s Greenest Employers for the third consecutive year.

Hydro Ottawa is the largest municipally-owned producer of green power in Ontario. Its renewable energy facilities include hydroelectric generators at Chaudière Falls and landfill gas-to-energy generators at the Trail Road and Laflèche Landfills. Together these facilities help to reduce greenhouse gases by almost 200,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.

The company is also greening its operations. It has consistently achieved well over 90 per cent nonhazardous waste diversion, added more hybrid and flex-fuel vehicles to its fleet, and increased efficiencies at its office facilities and substations.

EMC news - Jayne Glennon will not soon forget the 2013 Upper Jock River Canoe/ Kayak Race.

There she was, in her kayak with seven year old son Robert Glennon up front, moving up to the start line, a yellow rope stretched across the fast flowing, springtime swollen Jock River at the Munster Sideroad west of Richmond last Saturday. They were going to leave this starting line with three other entries, as four at a time were being allowed to depart at the signal of race starter Joe Duvall.

But as Jayne reached the rope, over she went, falling out of her craft and into the waist-deep water. The whole craft did not tip over so that Robert remained afloat and dry.

Close to the east bank of the river at the starting line, Jayne was able to trudge through the river water while still holding onto the kayak. Once on shore, she maneuvred the kayak to the upstream side of the starting line and eventually she and Robert were off and running in one of the last groups to leave the starting line. There is no

quit in her.

While this “upset” made this year’s race unforgettable, no doubt, for Jayne, what made this year’s race memorable for others was no doubt the weather. It was chilly, chilly, around 6 degrees Celsius, with the cold exacerbated by a strong wind whipping along in a downstream direction, at least at the starting line.

An indication of the weather is the fact that just as the first group of four entries were leaving the starting line at 12 noon, hail-like snow pellets began falling at the site. The flurry of pellets did not last but it was a herald of the weather that was in place for this year’s race, even though it had been postponed for two weeks from its initial date of Saturday, April 6 due to the late spring.

Steve and Lynn Hebert and their nephew, 13 year old Matthew Pilon, participated in this year’s race, winning the Trailhead Cup as winners in the family class in the race.

Matthew also raced last year while Steve and Lynn have been race participants over the years. Indeed, for those who remember the 2007 Richmond Fair Parade, it was Steve and Lynn who carried a canoe along the parade route, advertizing the Upper Jock

River Canoe Race. They walked along with alternate carriers Dave and Lynn Pearen of Richmond. For those who don’t remember that Fair parade, a photo capturing this canoe moment in the parade can be seen on the Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak website at www.jockriverrace.ca/.

This year’s race participants included a good number of kayaks and also included one brave sailboarder who left the starting rope on his knees but quickly stood up on the board as he headed downstream.

Assisting starter Joe Duvall again this year were his longtime helpers Ron Wallis and Al Eaton who kept track of who left the starting line when, important data to determine the finishing times for the entries. It took about 16 minutes for all of the entries to leave the starting line this year, departing in groups of four, with the starting times separated by the time that it took for the entries to maneuver to the starting rope and get ready for the start signal.

Collin Hiley, whose father John has been the longtime organizer of this event, was responsible for stringing the yellow starting rope across the river, held in place by being tied to a couple of appropriately placed and stalwart trees.

“It is our responsibility not only to provide electricity, but also to help people use our product efficiently – which saves money on their bills, and helps protect the environment,” said Bryce Conrad, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hydro Ottawa. “I’m proud to say that Ottawa has embraced our challenge to conserve, and together we are making a significant difference.”

Ottawa residents and businesses have saved more than 500 million kilowatt-hours over the past six years through participating in Hydro Ottawa’s energy conservation programs. That’s the equivalent of taking more than 52,000 homes off the grid for a year.

Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Report RURAL EXPO MAY 31ST MARK YOU CALENDAR

By Jim Watson

When people think of Ottawa, the usual images come to most minds: the Parliament Buildings, the Rideau Canal in winter, the Ottawa River, the Byward Market, etc.

These are important Ottawa institutions but they are all central in a city that is made up of an enormous LANDMASS THAT EXTENDS FAR TO THE EAST SOUTH AND WEST of those well-known landmarks. In fact, you can ďŹ t the entire landmasses of Montreal, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver within Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s boundaries and still have room to spare!

This makes Ottawa unique in Canada as we are both a large urban city and also the largest rural city in the country. The postcard images many associate with Ottawa mean that the rural areas of Ottawa can sometimes be forgotten. But from Greely, to Osgoode, to Carp, and beyond, Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural areas have an incredibly diverse set of offerings across the agriculture, culinary, and business sectors. These are critically important elements in our city and it is important that we do what we can to promote them to Ottawaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residents and its visitors.

Watches, clocks timely topics at Historical Society meeting John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Ralph Shipton, left, of Stittsville shows his family heirloom clock to watch and clock repairer and historian Grant Perry, right, of Stittsville at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s meeting featuring clocks and watches at the Legion Hall in Stittsville last Saturday afternoon, April 20. Mr. Perry estimated that the clock was made somewhere between 1890 to 1910. Mr. Shipton’s great aunt had brought the clock over from England and then his parents owned it. The clock is still running and sits on a fireplace mantle.

EMC news - A lot of time was covered in the presentations at last Saturday’s April monthly meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society.

Watch and time piece collectors/experts Dan Hudon and Grant Perry both presented “time capsules,” as it were, on the development of watches and clocks. Mr. Perry, a Stittsville resident, gave a synopsis of the history of watches while Mr. Hudon told about the history of the Waterbury Watch and Clock Company, one of America’s best known and, as it turned out, longest lasting clock and watch companies.

Mr. Perry started at the very beginning of watch making, citing the acknowledged accomplishments of German locksmith and clockmaker Peter Henlein (1485-1542) who is credited with developing the first pocket watch (initially known as a “pocket clock”) as well as inventing the main spring used in watches.

But while he is credited with these accomplishments, they did exist prior to him, although not associated with any one person.

Pocket clocks are referenced as early as 1430 while the main spring also existed prior to Mr. Henlein’s creation.

But it is Peter Henlein who has received the historical credit.

And over the following three centuries or so, pocket watches became more elaborate and more accurate as time pieces.

Even the famous Leonardo da Vinci was into watch and clock making. One of his sketches detailed a main spring for a clock.

A fellow called Josias Jolly created an elaborate, all hand-made pocket watch in 1625 that was only 7/8th of the inch thick, much reduced from Peter Henlein’s three inch thick creation.

It was George Graham in 1730 who made advances in the timekeeping ability of watches.

This improved accuracy resulted in greater demand and the need for watches to be able to be made quicker.

Chopard Fils of Frances in the 1830’s made simpler watches with some of their components still made by hand. The watches were also becoming more reliable.

Timely presentations last Saturday It was only in the mid 19th century that watches began being manufactured in the United States, with companies such as Waltham and Elgin becoming household names over the ensuing century, producing millions of massproduced watches.

The earliest wrist watches as opposed to pocket watches appeared in Europe before World War One but were not in the United States until after the war. Initially wrist watches were simply leather wrist bands that could hold a small pocket watch.

It was soldiers ďŹ nding it easier to glance at a wrist to tell the time than to pull out a pocket watch that ended up increasing the popularity of wrist watches.

The pocket watch, though, hung on until the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, mainly because railroads still insisted on its employees using pocket watches for accuracy. It was not until 1962 with the Bulova Accutron 214 model that a wrist watch was accepted by the railroad industry as an appropriate and accurate time piece for use by railroads.

The inďŹ&#x201A;ux of Swiss-made watches in the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, followed by cheaply produced Asian watches meant the demise of any United States watch manufacturers. There are still quality watches available, such as Rolex, but now many prefer telling time with a cell phone rather than a wrist watch.

And going from the general to the more explicit, Dan Hudon, a watch/clock enthusiast and historian, told about the history of the Waterbury Watch and Clock Company, founded in Waterbury, Connecticut in 1854 by two wealthy businessmen who were in the brass business

but saw an opportunity to supply brass to their own clock-making business.

The ďŹ rm made typical American clocks with brass parts, using second-hand machinery from other clockmakers that had gone bankrupt.

In the 1880â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, an economic downturn might have spelled the end for the company but it got a lucky break when it was approached by Robert Ingersoll to manufacture a watch that would

the manufacturer. As a result, the Waterbury company boomed, operating factories on a 24 hour basis, with the town of Waterbury tripling in size over a ten year period. Rooming houses sprang up to provide accommodation to the glut of immigrant workers which ďŹ&#x201A;ooded into the town. Even women were hired, although mainly for some of the less skilled jobs like testing the ďŹ nished products.

The Waterbury Watch and Clock Company continued to do well until the 1920â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when sales slumped, up against an inďŹ&#x201A;ux of Swiss watches.

But then the ďŹ rm got another break, with Walt Disney suggesting that the ďŹ rm manufacture watches and radios featuring Disney characters. These watches, like the Mickey Mouse watch of 1933, saved the company.

With the company on the ďŹ nancial rocks, another lucky break happened, with a Norwegian purchasing the company and halting the production of clocks and watches, turning instead to making fuses and other items for the war effort. Eventually Waterbury morphed into what is known today as Timex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to follow the ups and downs of that company,â&#x20AC;? Mr. Hudon said about the Waterbury Watch and Clock Company.

After the two presentations, some of those present who had brought along personal watches or clocks had the opportunity for Mr. Perry or Mr. Hudon or two other experts in attendance to examine the time pieces and even offer some estimate of their value.

In Canada, the only clock manufacturers were Paguenat which made cloks in Kitchener and the Canadian Clock Company which also was known as the Hamilton Clock Company at times, located in Hamilton, Ontario.

Westclox did manufacture wrist watches and clocks at a factory in Peterborough into the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s but it was an Illinois-based company.

Ingersoll did the marketing of the watches.

By 1894, about half a million of these watches had been sold and by 1900, the total was up to six million. By 1910, three and a half million of these â&#x20AC;&#x153;dollar watchesâ&#x20AC;? were being made per year by the Waterbury ďŹ rm. Indeed, over the course of 20 years, nearly 40 million were sold in total.

Journey of faith outlined at CWL breakfast John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - She’s the first female and also lay rector of St. Paul University in Ottawa. She holds a PhD from the University of Ottawa, specializing in the relationship between faith and reason. She has a post-graduate diploma in public administration. And she was called “a fascinating lady of faith” by MC Louise Beggs who introduced her at last Saturday’s women’s breakfast hosted by the Catholic Women’s League (C.W.L.) of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville.

And it was her journey of faith that was the focus of the keynote address by Mme. Dr. Chantal Beauvais at this C.W.L. breakfast which attracted a sold-out crowd of 104 ladies to the parish hall at Holy Spirit Parish.

“For me, each day is a journey,” she told the ladies, adding that she believes each day that her life has been offered to her by a loving God. She noted, though, that her journey of faith has not always been a serene one, noting her youth with corrective surgery in Montreal for a cleft palette taking her away from her family in her native Rouyn-Noranda, her father’s contracting cancer at age 47, work as an equipment purchaser with Noranda Mines Inc., her brief time with the Sisters of Charity of Ottawa before leaving with major depression, feeling alone and abandoned by God, and her eventual re-birth in the faith, including university, a series of work experiences including as a lecturer, an ethics advisor and a military chaplain at CFB Gagetown and marriage.

She became a faculty member at St. Paul University in 2001, revitalizing the philosophy department. She became vice-rector of administration in 2007 and then rector of the entire university in 2009, a position she continues to hold.

Mme. Beauvais said that she was raised to believe that the gospel values were good and that Christianity itself was good.

“Christianity is something you live,” she said.

She admitted that holding a job like rector of St. Paul University has its “ups and downs,” especially working at a Catholic university that had been run by the male Oblates of Mary Immaculate order, giving it a masculine ethos.

She has had to find her way as a woman in that ethos, calling it a challenge. But she added that in all her work experience, whether in the military or in accounting or elsewhere, she has not let her gender hold her back.

“Never have I felt being a woman prevented me from being what I should be,” she said.

Mme. Beauvais admitted that not everyone embraces change but that there is a continuity of a person’s intimate values, even with change.

“Life is a process of change,” she said.

Mme. Beauvais spoke to the gathering following a buffet-style breakfast featuring scrambled eggs, sausage, orange juice, fruit and tea/coffee. Among those in attendance was Msgr. Joseph Muldoon, parish priest at Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville and also spiritual advisory to the parish’s C.W.L. Former Goulbourn township mayor and former city of Ottawa Goulbourn ward councillor

Janet Stavinga was among the ladies present for the event.

A raffle draw was held at the event, offering the chance to win a colourful quilt donated

by Teresa Cardeal or a Swarovki ring valued at

$150 donated by Veronica Stockwell of Texas who is the daughter of Holy Spirit C.W.L. president Lois Desjardine. Raffle draw proceeds are going to be directed to the Stittsville Food Bank.

world as individuals and as a collective.”

Studying at St. Paul University in Ottawa, she calls it “a place of great faith and of great openness,” adding that she enjoyed every minute that she was there.

She is particularly grateful to the Archdiocese of Ottawa which provided a grant to pay half of her tuition fees, all the way to her certificate.

“I hope others can benefit too from this great support by our church if we choose to study our faith more deeply,” she says. “There is always the possibility of growing in our faith.”

Interested for years in helping women in the prison system but unable to find an appropriate entry into that world, her final course in pastoral ministry opened to her the door of Norwood House, a project of the Elizabeth Fry Society.

“At this halfway house for women exiting prison, I meet women where they are, healing and going forward,” Louise says, adding that the women have been trusting and the staff at Norwood House are great in their support of

sion for dogs.

“I have been apprenticing with two breeders of Miniature Schnauzers to train, show and groom these great dogs,” she says.

In addition, Louise now provides grooming for all small dogs at her home in rural Stittsville.

“I help owners have beautiful and healthy dogs and I enjoy meeting both owners and their dogs,” she says about her grooming enterprise.

EMC news - She’s a former Goulbourn township councillor. A former manager of volunteers at the Granite Ridge Long Term Care Centre. A mother of three sons. An active member of the Catholic Women’s League at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. And now Louise Beggs of Stittsville has added yet another marker of accomplishment on her life journey – she has completed her certificate in Theology at St. Paul University in Ottawa.

She received her certificate on Friday, April 12.

She had returned to school to explore the study of Theology, which means “faith seeking understanding,” after being fascinated by the subject of ethics for several years and especially challenged by the question of ethics in public office.

“It has been a wonderful journey of discovery,” Louise says, “where I was able to ask questions and develop skills with Catholics and those of other faiths, to seek peace for our

However, Louise notes that much more help is needed in assisting and supporting women involved with the prison system.

This partnership with Yoshi in her pastoral ministry reflects Louise’s long standing pas-

Nicknames in Afghanistan John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Brigitte Trau spent a six month posting at the Kandahar air base in Afghanistan as a member of a Canadian engineering support unit.

Terming her 2009 time there as a “unique and exciting experience,” Ms. Trau gave a video and verbal glimpse of this posting as a guest speaker at the Lionette rally which was held at the Lions Hall in Stittsville last Sunday, April 21.

And, from her account, it would seem that virtually everyone and everything at that Kandahar air base has a nickname. On her team, there were “Komputer Kid” Kyle, “Barrier” Ron, “Gravel Guy” Dave, “Water Boy” Jim and even herself, who was given the descriptor “Four foot, two” even though she claims that she is really four foot, 13 inches tall.

But nicknames were not just for people.

There was also the “Boardwalk,” where Tim Hortons was located, along with facilities such as the volleyball court and the Canadianbuilt hockey rink. And there was the “Chimo Lodge,” the less than luxurious living quarters, also known as “The Shack.” And then don’t forget about the “poop pond,” the friendly name for the smelly lagoon.

Ms. Trau, though, told about much more than just nicknames, talking about and showing pictures of scenes and activities on the base. So you saw the Canadian compound where monthly BBQ’s were held; you saw her hosing down the exterior of a building where she worked, not realizing that it was not water-tight; you heard about how there was always dust in the office

due to the continuous sand storms and about how daytime temperatures soared into the 60 degree Celsius levels; you heard about how there were 43 countries involved with the air base; you heard that there was a chapel, French store and bakery and base post office among the facilities at the base; you heard about the Saturday bazaars where locals would sell their goods ranging from copper to marble items to dried scorpions to camel bone items; and you heard about “jingle trucks,” vehicles of the Afghans which are decorated with trinkets which jingle as the trucks move.

Ms. Trau noted the pride which she felt on receiving her General Service Medal with her name on it in Oct. 2009 before departing for home.

She explained that a lot of the work done in Afghan by the Canadians and others involved providing equipment and training to the local villagers, helping them to become self-sufficient and be able to run their own affairs in the future.

She noted with sadness that 15 Canadian soldiers died when she was there in 2009, adding that the Canadian ceremonies for the dead were probably the most touching of the ones held there, sometimes drawing up to 2000 people.

Ms. Trau added that while 157 Canadians have died in Afghanistan, it also must be noted that 1,800 Canadians have been wounded during the Canadian involvement there.

She said that the plan is that by the end of 2014, Afghan security forces should be handling everything in their country.

Ms. Trau received a standing ovation from the 80 Lionettes in attendance at the event at the conclusion of her presentation.

Spring bursts out at Lionettes rally Special to the News

EMC news - Spring arrived in Stittsville last Sunday, April 21 – at least at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street.

There were colourful flowers on the tables at which the 80 ladies from five Lionette Clubs, including the host Stittsville Lionettes, sat as they enjoyed a guest speaker, a luncheon, a meeting and windup dessert, all part of the 52nd annual Lionette Rally.

Clubs represented into Stittsville, Shawville, Arnprior, Quyon and the Pontiac (Campbell’s Bay).

Appropriately the rally was entitled “Colours of Spring,” and in the hall, you’d think it really had arrived. There were colourful butterflies on the wall, above a table filled with gift bags of all colours that were given to the attending Lionettes. Indeed, the colourful gift bags, all stacked together on tables, could easily match the appeal of any spring tulip bed.

Welcoming the visiting Lionettes to the rally was city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri who praised the Lionettes for the contribution that they make in their neighbourhoods and communities.

Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis, a former Lionette, also welcomed the Lionettes to the rally, noting that from her experience as a Lionette she knows that Lionettes like to have fun while enjoying what they do in the community.

The Lionettes at the rally also were treated to a poem written and delivered by John Curry, editor of the Stittsville News EMC and an honourary member of the Stittsville District Lions Club, entitled “The Lionettes Roar (An Ode to Lionettes)”.

Stittsville Lionettes Cheryl Drain and Hel-

en Burke were the co-chairs of this Lionettes rally.

Donations from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, Stittsville Sobeys and the Ottawa “HEART” Support Group helped the Lionettes host this rally.

Members of the Stittsville Lionettes, a group which supports the work and efforts of the Stittsville District Lions Club in the community, are Marlene Zogalo, June Warner, Georgette St. John, Clare Redtman, Vicki Potter, Lynn Martin, Cheryl Drain, Diane Davidson, Debbie Carson, Helen Burke and Marilyn Broomer.

FABRICLAND IS CELEBRATING THEIR 45TH ANNIVERSARY Fabricland: Where the Smart Money Goes to Sew Up the Savings

By Brian Turner As Fabricland prepares to celebrate its 45th anniversary, their team looks back at a world of changes in clothing creation, home décor, and crafting, but what has remained constant since their first small store opened in Toronto in 1968 is the commitment to deliver exceptional product lines at the lowest price with superior customer service. Now among 170 locations from coast to coast, the Ottawa area outlets are stocking up to bring some fantastic birthday deals to those who know how to stretch their buying power to the max while having fun and showing their creative side at the same time.

While other big fabric retailers and department stores have downsized or eliminated the options for their customers in terms of filling creative fashion needs or providing substantial savings on home decorating supplies, Fabricland remains dedicated to their growing family of smart shoppers. What Fabricland learned many years ago is nothing replaces customer service and advice from experienced consultants when it comes to welcoming first-time sewers and crafters as well as keeping fabric experts supplied with all their needs. That’s why every store is staffed with friendly knowledgeable folk who are happy to lend a hand, an ear and even a thimble to get the job done.

Fabricland continues to grow and evolve to not only meet their customers’ expectations but to exceed them.

When home décor demands came from shoppers with little or no sewing experience, Fabricland premiered their ‘no-sew, ready-to-go’ home product line with ready-to-hang drapery panels, white bedding, an extensive line of drapery hardware, table linens such as placemats and runners, as well as a huge selection of decorative home accessories and much, much more... all of excellent quality and value. They called it the ‘Home Dec Centre’ and all of the Metro Ottawa stores have one. For those who like to craft their own decor, Fabricland has it all by the meter and bins of hardware.

Quilters haven’t been left out in the cold either. Fabricland has the largest selection of materials, batting, backing, and threads for quilts to warm up the coldest winter night. For those looking to recycle some older clothing with spark, it’s all bling, buttons and beads at 50% off during the anniversary sale.

When it comes to convenient locations, Fabricland has that sewn up as well. The Kanata store is at 471 Hazeldean Road (near Castlefrank), in Nepean it’s 1460 Merivale Road (between Clyde and Baseline), in Ottawa south at 1440 Walkley Road (near Albion North), in Ottawa East it’s in the Shopper’s City East Plaza at 2016 Ogilvie, and in Orleans you can find the savings at 2384 St. Joseph Blvd (just east of Orleans Blvd.). All locations have plenty of free parking and are open 7 days a week.

As an added incentive to visit the Shopper’s City East Fabricland, it has now been designated as a clearance centre with a large and varying selection of reducedto-clear items.

For a big birthday like 45, Fabricland has pulled out all the stops and bolts for big savings with 50%-off specials filling the store and 40% off of almost anything else not on sale. If that’s not enough, Fabricland will be holding a customer draw for 2 sewing machines and over $2,000 in gift certificates per store! All this action happens from April 15th to May 5th. If you want to make sure you never miss a deal like this in the future you can be kept in the loop and enjoy all the benefits of membership by joining Fabricland’s Sewing Club. For the reduced price of $20 for the balance of Fabricland’s membership year,, Sewing Club members can save 25-50% of almost everything in the store any time! No one has to wait and search the weekly flyers to plan their shopping trips when home decor and fashion needs can crop up at any time if they’re Fabricland Sewing Club Members.

And when there’s a sale on, Sewing Club members get convenient email notification and they can still take advantage by enjoying substantial discounts on regularly priced items.

For those that don’t think they have a creative flair, a stroll down Fabricland’s idea-packed aisles is all it takes to spark the inner textile artist. Find all the details at www.fabricland.ca.

The Real Group: not only its music but also on video at Gaia Java eo message from the Swedish group about coming to perform in Ottawa.

This is not surprising because Gaia Java Coffee Company shop co-owner Paul Jay has a relationship with The Real Group going back several years and indeed is a chief organizer of The Real Group’s upcoming Ottawa performance at the new theatre at Algonquin College on Wednesday, May 8. Other members of Quintessense, the a cappella group in which both Paul Jay and Gaia Java co-owner Paul Melsness sing, have had musical contact with The Real Group and Quintessense, in fact, will be opening the May 8th show featuring The Real Group.

But last Friday at the Gaia Java

EMC news - While The Real Group, Sweden’s internationally-acclaimed a cappella vocal ensemble, is not making their first-ever live appearance in Ottawa until Wednesday, May 8, their presence permeated the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop last Friday.

Those in attendance not only heard some of The Real Group’s music and arrangements thanks to the vocal renderings of the a cappella group Quintessence but also even got to see The Real Group perform thanks to a video presentation shown at the conclusion of the event, including a vid-

Coffee Company shop, Quintessense presented a non-stop hour of a cappella songs, some of them from The Real Group.

Quintessence opened with a song that is not from The Real Group, “Lullaby of Birdland” before running through a progression of vocal offerings, some made famous by a variety of singers ranging from the Beach Boys to Bobby Darin to Count Basie.

Included was Quintessense’s version of “Oh, What A Beautiful Morning” from the musical Oklahoma which, in fact, was the first a cappella song ever to open a musical.

And this was followed by “Café”, all about spending time in a cozy café

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Members of the Quintessence a cappella vocal group who performed some songs of The Real Group as well as other songs in a performance at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday evening are, from left, Paul Jay, Jean-Francois Fauteux, Barbara Jovaisas, Marion Xhignesse, Susan Mayo and Paul Melsness.

(Gaia Java?).

And Quintessense even sang one song in Swedish, asking before the song whether anyone in the audience knew any Swedish.

“Ikea” came back the shouted answer.

Quinettessence included in its performance “Waltz for Debbie,” arranged by one of the original members of The Real Group; also a tongue-in-cheek tune from The Real Group about what’s it like to be a man in the 21st century, sung only by Quintessence’s trio of men – Jean-Francois Fauteux, Paul Jay and Paul Melsness; and one of The Real Group’s Latin songs for which the group is known, “Acapella in Acapulco.”

The performance finished with “Pass Me The Jazz,” a song also sung

by The Real Group.

But this did not end the presence of The Real Group at this Friday music evening at Gaia Java.

Paul Jay then showed several video clips of The Real Group performing, with the video projected onto a makeshift screen inside the front window at the café shop, with Paul commenting on some of the songs about to be sung which included a medley of Count Basie tunes and also a medley of well-known pop songs written by Swedish composers.

The video presentation finished up with The Real Group delivering a message about preparing to visit Canada for their upcoming May 8th concert.

This concert featuring The Real Group with Quintessence as an opening act is being held on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 p.m. in the new 700-seat theatre at Algonquin College. The

concert is being preceded by an afternoon vocal workshop for school groups and local choirs that is already sold out.

Advance tickets for the evening concert are available online at http:// trgottawa.eventbrite.ca or at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Advance tickets are $25 for students, $35 for seniors and $40 for adults. After Saturday, May 4, the ticket prices will jump by $5 each.

The ticket prices have been kept down thanks to sponsorship from such sponsors as the Swedish Institute, Canterbury High School’s Music Department and Parent Support Group, the Embassy of Sweden, Volvo St. Laurent, Quintessence, Harmonic Generation and the Harmonia Choir of Ottawa.

More information can be obtained by checking out the website at www. trgottawa.ca.

The Real Group, which hails from Stockholm in Sweden, is one of the leading exponents of the art of a cappella singing in the 21st century. The group’s style includes music for all tastes including vocal jazz, occasional folk flavour, contemporary pop and some original songs.

The Real Group has performed in more than 2,000 concerts around the world. In 2002, the group performed at the opening ceremony of the Soccer World Cup in Seoul, South Korea. This May 8th concert will be The Real Group’s first-ever performance in Ottawa.

The Real Group released its debut album in 1987 and has continued to record extensively since then.

Decathlete Pat Arbour sets personal bests Brier Dodge brier.dodge@metroland.com

EMC news - The decathalon gives athletes 10 different events to train for. And while it gives the competitors 10 chances to falter, it also provides 10 chances to hit the right stride

and achieve personal bests.

Decathlete Pat Arbour, originally from Stittsville, just made five personal bests – in the same meet. As he hit his stride at the Jim Click Shootout in Arizona, he scored high enough to end up in ninth place spot in the current world rankings.

BRIER DODGE/METROLAND

Decathlete Pat Arbour, a former Sacred Heart Catholic High School student, gets ready to throw the javelin – one of the 10 events he competes in – during training at the Louis Riel Dome. He recently scored a top-10 score for a Canadian ever, which ranks him ninth in the world so far for 2013.

“Everything was perfectly aligned,” he said. “I knew going in I felt confident, but I never thought I would score 7,593.

Nothing ever came together at the same time (before).”

The score he recorded at the Arizona meet on April 4 and 5 is the 10th best score ever recorded by a Canadian decathlete.

And while the University of Ottawa graduate and former student at Stittsville’s Sacred Heart Catholic High School said some of the top European competitors still haven’t official registered scores yet, his success has made him re-evaluate his goals for the year.

While he’s been gunning for the 2016 Olympic Games, he might be ahead of schedule.

At the start of the year, qualifying for the 2013 world championship wasn’t a goal for Arbour, 25. But with his latest success, qualifying is suddenly a realistic season goal.

“I never really considered making worlds,” he said. “My goal has been to make 2016, this is just a step on the way.”

Arbour has a shot at winning the national title this year in June. He would love to squeeze a gold medal into his already jam-packed bag – he needs nine different pairs of shoes for each meet.

A good performance at the national championship means he could compete at the world championships in August in Russia. If he doesn’t qualify, he will still compete at the World University Games, also in Russia this summer.

He needs to work towards scoring 8,200 to hit Canada’s

Olympic A qualifying standard.

In decathlaton, athletes are awarded points for their time or distance on each event, not ranking.

Now a personal trainer in Nepean, Arbour trains year round with the Ottawa Lions Track and Field Club. He trains at the Louis Riel Dome in Blackburn Hamlet through the winter, dividing his time between all the events: the 100-metre dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400metre run, 110-metre hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1,500-metre run.

It makes training a balancing act each week of how to best spend training hours.

Arbour focused on throwing events as a teenager, always avoiding the track. Coach James Holder had been after him to make the switch for a while, but Arbour was apprehensive about competing in the running events.

“I said I’d never do decathalon,” he said. “But two years later, he was my coach.”

It means Arbour doesn’t’ dedicate as much time to the throwing events, which he specialized in as a teenager, and more time on sprinting and hurdles.

“It’s time management, knowing where to put your efforts,” he said. “It takes a long time to mature as a decathlete.

I’ve got the ability to be a lot calmer and not worry about what everyone else is doing.”

Arbour will compete at the national championships in Moncton from June 20 to 23, where he will try and gain a berth on Canada’s world championship team.

One of tops in province Special to the News

EMC sports - The Goulbourn Hornets Major Bantam Girls team is one of the top 20 in the province.

This was confirmed when the Hornets claimed the silver medals in division 3 play in the recent Ontario Cup provincial basketball championships in Ottawa. There are 11 Divisions.

Played on the weekend of April 12-14, the Ontario Cup provincial championships saw the Hornets open up against the Guelph Phoenix.

The Hornets broke into a 10-3 lead but by halftime the Phoenix had fought back to lead by one point. The Phoenix even extended this lead to four points, leading 31-27 after three quarters of play.

The Hornets, though, using aggressive defense and some timely three point shooting, roared into an eight point lead going into the final minute of play. The Hornets held on for a 48-43 victory.

It was then on to play a team from Scarborough, a game that featured several lead changes.

Clutch baskets down the stretch by the Hornets made the difference as the Hornets prevailed by

a score of 36-34.

The Niagara Falls Red Raiders were net up for the Hornets in this round robin play. A touch defensive battle, it saw the Red Raiders win by a 29-26 count. But despite this loss, the Hornets finished first in their pool and advanced to semi-final action.

In semi-final play against the Blessed Sacrament Yellow Jackets from Hamilton, the Hornets fell behind 16-8. But some pressure defense and a 14-0 run gave the Hornets a six point lead at halftime.

The Hornets continued with a swarming defense and solid transition game, extending their lead in the game and eventually winning 44-32 and earning a spot in the gold medal final.

The Hornets went up against the Scarborough Blues-King team in the final, with the Hornets taking an early lead.

But Scarborough fought back with a tough defensive effort that created turnovers and stifled the Hornets offense.

In the end, Scarborough emerged as the gold medal champion but the Hornets claimed the silver medals, making them one of the top 20 teams in the province.

ATV wants to be best snowboarder in world Sydney Steele

Special to the News

His goal is simple.

“I want to be the best slopestyle snowboarder in the world,” says ATV Vallati of Stittsville.

And although he just stepped onto a snowboard for the first time three years ago, what might seem to some as a lofty goal for a ten year old

ATV Vallati of Stittsville wants to be the best slopestyle snowboarder in the world.

boy is seen by those who have witnessed his progression in the sport as a goal within the realm of possibility.

And just what has this progression been like?

Well, he has just wrapped up an undefeated season competing in the S3 Future Pro Series, finishing first in every event he entered and capturing the Quebec Champion Title.

This is not the only title that he has won. He placed first in the Axis Slopestyle this year, won the New Zealand National Champion title in 2012 and won the Southern Vermont Champion title in that year as well.

ATV now travels ten months out of the year, pursuing his snowboarding dream. He is coached by Maxence Parrot who is a top snowboarder himself and an Olympic level coach who usually only trains professional-level boarders.

But he made an exception for ATV. “He (coach Parrot) found ATV last year and he asked him to go and train with him,” says ATV’s mother Anita Vallati. “ATV is the youngest he has ever trained,” she adds.

ATV now trains at Mt. Avila in St. Saveur, Quebec

with coach “Max” Parrot and alongside many other top level snowboarders.

ATV is off to Whistler, B.C. next week to continue his training.

This adventure for ATV all began three years go when his

parents, Anita and Robert Vallati, tried to enroll him in skiing lessons.

There were ski trips at his school and his parents thought that it would be good for him to get some ski lessons before going on such trips. His par-

ents took him to a mountain at St. Saveur, Quebec and enrolled him in ski lessons. But things did not work out. ATV simply did not want to learn how to ski.

But then he did express an interest in snowboarding, re-

“We had no idea what snowboarding was,” says his mother Anita. “We are not snow people, so it was all new to us.”

But on ATV’s seventh birthday, ATV’s parents drove him up to Mt. Tremblant in Quebec and got him going in snowboarding lessons. After that first lesson, ATV caught the snowboarding bug and has never looked back, now focused on his dream of becoming a professional snowboarder.

The Vallati family has been living in Stittsville for the past three years, right around the same time that ATV began his snowboarding career. Their home in Stittsville now serves as a home base for the family when ATV is not on the road.

When he is not travelling or competing and life returns is normal, ATV attends Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville where he is viewed as a normal, regular kid.

“He’s a superstar in the snowboard world but here he’s just another kid,” says his mother Anita. “I think that really keeps him humble.”

Stittsville link to The Real Group concert John Curry

john.curry@mettroland.com

0307.R0011949739

EMC news - There’s a Stittsville connection to the upcoming appearance by Sweden’s The Real Group in Ottawa.

One of the premier vocal a cappella jazz ensembles in the world, The Real Group will be performing in a concert at Algonquin College’s new theatre on Wednesday, May 8. Not only is the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street an outlet for the tickets for the concert but Gaia Java coowner Paul Jay of Stittsville has been involved with the organization of the concert, continuing a relationship that can be traced back to 2004.

Indeed, he has even sung on stage with The Real Group.

It was about last December that Paul heard from Anders Edenroth of The Real Group about the possibility of a concert in Ottawa, along with an associated vocal workshop. Since then, he has been working with Anders as well as Morten Vinther and Katarina Henryson, two others of the five-member The Real Group to set up the concert event. Barbara Jovaisas and Jean-Francois Fauteux and Susan Mayo, Paul’s spouse, all of whom sing with the Gaia Java co-owner in the a cappella vocal group Quintessence, are all helping with the concert arrangements as well. Quintessence, by the way, will be doing a couple of opening numbers at the May 8th concert.

So, let’s flashback to 2004 when Paul Jay had his first contact with The Real Group. His high tech employer at the time had sent him to a conference in Stockholm. He was already familiar with The Real Group and its music through CDs and, learning of a live concert by the group that was happening in Stockholm when he was there, he grabbed a ticket and attended.

“The live concert was magic!,” Paul recalls, even though most of the dialogue and songs were in Swedish.

Four years later, in 2008, Paul noticed that The Real Group was holding an a cappella vocal festival in Sweden in September, with an arranging master class as one of the additional

Tickets for the concert are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville. courses. Although already past the deadline for being accepted in the master class, he asked to be considered for a place. The condition was that he had to submit four test piece arrangements by the end of that week. Some late nights ensued but he ended up getting accepted and once again flew to Sweden for an experience with The Real Group.

He spent a week in Sweden, first working on arranging techniques with Peder Karlsson of The Real Group and then listening to and participating in a number of workshops. He also got to enjoy concerts by The Real Group and many other top a cappella groups from around the world.

Paul was impressed on how open and accessible the members of The Real Group were as were members of all of the groups. From this experience, Paul developed an email relationship with some of the members of The Real

Group, something which continues to this day.

It was only a few months later, in March 2009, that Peder Karlsson mentioned that The Real Group was going to do a cappella workshops online using Skype. Paul volunteered Quintessence as a “guinea pig” for the initial online workshop.

Setting up at home in Stittsville, the workshop lasted an hour and a half via Skype, with Quintessence singing to Peder Karlsson over in Stockholm and then working on adjustments and modifications that he would suggest.

Peder Karlsson has now done many more of these online workshops and uses the feedback from Quintessence from this initial one as a guide for other groups taking the workshops.

Peder Karlsson has since left The Real Group to focus on developing The Real Academy, being replaced by Morten Vinther.

This online workshop also meant that all

members of the group Quintessence – JeanFrancois Fauteux, Paul Jay, Susan Mayo, Paul Melsness, Barbara Jovaisas and Marion Xhignesse – now had a personal connect with The Real Group.

Later in 2009, Paul Jay asked Anders Edenroth of The Real Group if his Swedish Christmas song “En Riktig Jul” had been published for use by others. It wasn’t but Anders sent Paul a copy of his hand written score, along with permission to sing it. With the help of Hilde BergEnger, a Norwegian friend of Susan Mayo’s, the song’s Swedish lyrics were translated into English lyrics that still fit the music and it was performed by Quintessence as “A Christmas Dream” with Paul Melsness doing the solo.

In 2012, The Real Group was doing another Real Vocal Festival in Stockholm. Paul Jay and his spouse Susan Mayo made arrangements to attend. Among the master classes being offered this time was one on studio mixing of a cappella music. Paul and Susan got to attend a one-on-one mixing class in The Real Group’s private Stockholm studio with Anders Edenroth of The Real Group at the mixing console.

Draft tracks of Quintessence singing Anders’ composition of “En Riktig Jul” were used as the subject matter for the session.

And so, at this August Real Vocal Festival in Stockholm, Paul Jay and Susan Mayo spent four and a half hours in The Real Group’s well equipped studio where the group records and mixes many of its own CDs where Anders mixed the Quintessence recording into a final version, with Anders explaining what he was doing as he went along.

This song is now for sale on iTunes and will be included in Quintessence’s planned Christmas CD. At this 2012 Festival in Stockholm, Paul and Susan were joined by fellow Quintessence members Barbara Jovaisas and Jean-Francois Fauteux where they all attended workshops, chatted with The Real Group members and spoke with other singers from groups such as The Swingle Singers from the United Kingdom, Rajaton from Finland and the a cappella band Cadence from Toronto.

‘Discarded’: Poole Creek clean-up Special to the News

EMC news - Stephen Harrison is a photographer who regularly exhibits at the Ottawa West Arts Association gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. His photographs frequently place high in the People’s Choice balloting at these exhibits as one of the viewer favourites.

Stephen has also turned his photographic talents to documenting litter found along a portion of Poole Creek in Stittsville, creating a photograph art project which he has termed “Discarded” and has posted on a photo blog at http:// photoblog.harrisonpictures.com/2013/04/17/ art-project-discarded/ .

It all began as the winter snow receded last year and Stephen decided to take an afternoon and collect as much discarded garbage along a one kilometer area around Poole Creek, roughly behind Holy Spirit Catholic School and beside Wildpine Court in the heart of Stittsville.

He collected the items on March 26, 2012 and then photographed what he had collected several days later, on Monday, April 2. He wanted to make a photographic art display showing the items collected due to the number and volume of items that he collected in such a relatively small area on one afternoon. It had made an impact on him and he wanted to express the impact visually through his photography.

For these items found in the Poole Creek area, Stephen photographed them in a documentary top-down fashion with the found objects placed in organized rows based on size, type and, if possible, even down to the brand.

He photographed them on his paved driveway with nearby tree branches casting shadows over them as a visual reminder of the natural environment in which the items were found.

And just what did Stephen find in his personal clean-up effort that afternoon last year? Well, the items filled six large garbage bags and included two Lego blocks, one pair of children’s sunglasses, one child’s shoe, four mittens/ gloves, a metal gas can, a rubber tire liner, six metal shards, six tennis balls, one hub cap, two plastic oil containers, a flashlight, three body spray canisters, a tea tin, two whipped cream cans, eight glass liquor bottles and 39 plastic water bottles. And these were just some of the items.

Stephen admits that this environmental art display was inspired by the works of environmental documentarian photographer Edward Burtynsky who has explored photographically today’s culture of manufacturing, consumerism and disposable items. As a professor of photography at Algonquin College, Stephen teaches a course “Creative Digital Photography” which touches on the documentary use of photography in a social responsibility context, using such documentary films as the 2006 film “Manufactured Landscapes” by Jennifer Baichwal. This documentary explores Burtynsky’s view of the industrialized world.

Stephen Harrison not only wants to highlight the environmental degradation which results from discarded items, as he has done with the art project “Discarded,” but he also is taking concrete action in his own personal life to try to make a difference. That’s why he was out at Village Square Park and along the Trans Canada Trail in Stittsville last Saturday morning, participating with others in cleaning up the litter and debris that has collected there.

Earth Day, an annual day on which events are held worldwide to support environmental protection, was held last Monday, April 22.

Ladies Chorus delivers a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;night filled with musicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - In her opening remarks at the West Ottawa Ladies Chorusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; spring concert last Saturday evening, MC Janet Stavinga promised a â&#x20AC;&#x153;night filled with musicâ&#x20AC;? and the Ladies Chorus sure didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint.

And what music! There was the light-hearted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, Dear What Can the Matter Be,â&#x20AC;? a traditional folk song energetically sung with two Chorus members serving as pantomime personages, one performing as the lamented Johnny who is staying so long at the fair and another as his waiting love, complete with parasol. Or the ever-popular â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danny Boy,â&#x20AC;? an Irish standard which opened the second half of the 20 song program

with the Chorus accompanied

by Christine Philipson on the flute.

As might be expected, a singalong of â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Irish Eyes are Smilingâ&#x20AC;? was a great hit with the audience who even got to sing two verses of the song, verses which are relatively unknown due to the overwhelming popularity of the songâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refrain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you know, the refrain that goes â&#x20AC;&#x153;When Irish eyes are smiling, sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a morn in spring/In the lilt of Irish laughter you can hear the angels sing./When Irish hearts are happy, all the world seems bright and gay,/ And when Irish eyes are smiling, sure they steal your heart away.â&#x20AC;?

Even â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lord of the Dance,â&#x20AC;? the other audience singalong tune on the program, drew an enthusiastic response, espe-

Robert Dueck, right, directs the 31-voice West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, left, at its â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sing and Rejoiceâ&#x20AC;? spring concert at St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata last Saturday evening, April 20, with trumpeter Steve Gibb, left, foreground, accompanying the chorus. This was the first-ever concert of the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus. cially with St. Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church on Young Road in Kanata, site of the evening concert, filled not only with the voices of the Chorus and the 250 in the audience but also with the piano accompaniment of Bonnie MacDiarmid and Crystal Payne accompa-

nying on the piccolo.

But there was so much more. You had the Ladies Chorus singing the difficult four-part harmony American folk song â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pick A Bale oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cottonâ&#x20AC;? but also performing Mendelssohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sacred â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains,â&#x20AC;? a selection arranged for female voices and taken from the oratorio â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elijah.â&#x20AC;?

Besides songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;er You Walkâ&#x20AC;? by George Frideric Handel (1685-

1759), â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sing and Rejoiceâ&#x20AC;? by Henry Purcell (1659-1695) and â&#x20AC;&#x153;On Wings of Song,â&#x20AC;? another by Mendelssohn (18091847), you also had the more modern but equally timeless and lilting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Turn Around,â&#x20AC;? a song that was on the pop hit charts in the late 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and is perhaps best known for its rendition by Harry Belafonte.

You undoubtedly are familiar with the words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where are you going, my little one, little one? Where are you going my

baby, my own? Turn around and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two, turn around and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re four, turn around and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a young girl going out of the door.â&#x20AC;?

Or what about a song that has no known composer, the ageless â&#x20AC;&#x153;Irish Blessing,â&#x20AC;? a four part tune that went â&#x20AC;&#x153;May the road rise up to meet you, etc.â&#x20AC;? It is, indeed, one of what seems to be an endless repertoire of blessings that the Irish seem to have at their disposal.

Ladies Chorus concert

The Real Group concert

Continued from page 34

Continued from page 31

Add to these offerings songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am the River,â&#x20AC;? which not only had the vocal three parts but also featured piano, ďŹ&#x201A;ute and cello (yes, cello, thanks to Sandra Allan) accompaniment; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heart, We Will Forget Him,â&#x20AC;? based on a text by Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) about lost love, also accompanied by piano and cello; â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Windâ&#x20AC;? with its words written by Robert Louis Stevenson; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Day in the Life of the Sunâ&#x20AC;?, a choral tone poem with a soaring melody detailing the sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey across the sky in a day, again with piano and cello accompaniment.

And how prophetic, in a sense, were the two songs â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Night Shall Be Filled with Musicâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come to the Music,â&#x20AC;? complete with its drumming and piccolo accompaniment (Crystal Payne on piccolo and Ann Reilly on drums and bells).

The concert was further enhanced with the instrumental offerings of Steve Gibb on trumpet for both â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ode to Joyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danny Boyâ&#x20AC;? and of Christine Philipson with a ďŹ&#x201A;ute solo â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gigue,â&#x20AC;? drawing loud applause.

MC Janet Stavinga, the former Goulbourn township mayor and city of Ottawa Goulbourn ward councillor, in her opening remarks, had called this ďŹ rst-ever spring concert by the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus a â&#x20AC;&#x153;celebration of music, life and springâ&#x20AC;? and she was right on, with music, singing and rejoicing the themes for the evening.

And, judging by the standing ovation which erupted at the conclusion of the two hour concert, the audience certainly agreed with Ms. Stavingaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening prediction of what the concert would be like.

The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus has grown out of an initial initiative gathering together some ladies to accompany the Goulbourn Male Chorus in one of its concerts. This has now evolved into the separate West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, 31 voices with the ladies coming from Stittsville, Kanata, Munster, Glen Cairn, Fitzroy Harbour, Barrhaven, Carp, Carleton Place and North Gower. Plans are now already in the works for a Christmas concert.

Leading up to this spring concert, which was called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sing and Rejoice,â&#x20AC;? the ladies practiced twice a week since February after initially learning their musical parts on their own thanks to music provided by director Robert Dueck.

Joining the West Ottawa Ladies Chorus for this spring concert were guest instrumentalists Ann Reilly on percussion, Christine Philipson on ďŹ&#x201A;ute, Crystal Payne on ďŹ&#x201A;ute and piccolo, Katherine Allan on ďŹ&#x201A;ute, Sandra Allan on cello and Steve Gibb on trumpet. The West Ottawa Ladies Chorus, which also performs at seniors residences in the area, is always interesting in welcoming new singers to the group. Any ladies interested in singing with the Chorus should contact director Robert Dueck at 613-836-1824 or via email at ladieschorus@bell.net for more information.

At one point in one of the workshops, both Jean-Francois Fauteux and Paul Jay had the opportunity to go up on stage and sing with The Real Group.

While at The Real Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s studio in Stockholm, Susan and Paul heard an early demo version of a new tune which Anders Edenroth had written for The Real Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas album. It was in English and called â&#x20AC;&#x153;A World For Christmas,â&#x20AC;? telling the story of a newborn child asking her parents to save the planet for her.

A couple of months later, Paul emailed Anders to ask when the song would be published so that other groups could sing it. Anders sent back a private copy of the arrangement which Quintessence was able to sing at its own Christmas concert last December.

And the connection between Stittsville and The Real Group has even reached a second generation for Paul Jay. Daughter Keli, who is a vocal music student at Canterbury High School, sings with two other girls in an a cappella trio. Last February, the trio participated in an online Skype workshop with Katarina Henryson, the alto singer in The Real Group.

The trio sang from Stittsville to Katarina in her Stockholm studio. Now, at the upcoming concert in Ottawa, this youthful a cappella trio will have the opportunity to meet Katarina in person.

Pancake breakfast at Dining Hall at Richmond fairgrounds John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called the Dining Hall and it sure lived up to its name last Saturday morning, April 20.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the Richmond Agricultural Society hosted a pancake breakfast in the historic building at

the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond. And those who attended â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there were many â&#x20AC;&#x201C; got to enjoy pancakes and sausages and we all know that there is nothing better on a Saturday morning, especially when they are prepared by someone else.

Agricultural Society Directors and members worked in the kitchen,

N

7@CD>G@ OJ @SKGJM@

serving up these breakfast delicacies to the steady stream of hungry customers over a four hour period starting at 8 a.m.

Immediate past president Larry Monuk was there, selling the tickets, while current Agricultural Society president Gerd Lohman was dispensing the syrup to go on the pancakes,

taking them to that â&#x20AC;&#x153;oh, so deliciousâ&#x20AC;? level.

There was even some celebrity in the Dining Hall, as Nepean-Carleton MP Pierre Poilievre was there, visiting tables as he was serving coffee to those who wanted it.

An additional attraction at this pancake breakfast was the offering of free horse-drawn wagon rides around the fairgrounds. And were

these popular?

Just ask two and a half year old Avery Scott who proudly noted that she had eaten all of her pancake breakfast so that she could then go on a horse-drawn wagon ride.

And it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just youngsters.

Adults also climbed into the red wagon pulled by a giant pair of black horses to tour the fairgrounds on this chilly Saturday morning.

EMC news - Tree time is coming.

A community tree planting event is being held on Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at Chanonhouse Park at the Richmond Conservation Area in Richmond.

This is a free tree planting event, hosted by Trees Ontario and local planting partners including CAA (Auto Travel Insurance) of North and East Ontario, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority.

Everyone is welcome to participate in this event which is one of seven such community tree planting events being held on that day across Ontario. Other events are being held in Windsor, London, Niagara, Barrie, Kingston and York Region.

Participants will have the opportunity to participate in a reforestation project by planting a tree and learning about the benefits of trees, shad and green urban spaces. The tree planting event will be held rain or shine, with participants expected to bring along a shovel, gardening gloves and, most importantly, lots of energy. Trees Ontario and its local partners will supply everything else â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the trees, forestry specialists, mulch and snacks.

Participants are reminded to wear appropriate outdoor clothing. Sturdy shoes (preferably steel toed if possible), a hat and sunscreen are recommended.

For more information or to register to participate in this free tree planting event in Richmond on Saturday, May 4, please visit www.treesontario.ca or

call 1-877-646-1193.

Last year free community tree planting events across the province organized by Trees Ontario and its partners attracted more than 550 participants with a total of 3,275 trees being planted.

Trees Ontario is the largest notfor-profit tree planting partnership in North America, providing financial support and professional development expertise to enhance the capacity of its tree planting partners. It also tries to educate the public about the benefits of trees through awareness campaigns and workshops.

Some of the trees to be planted at this tree planting event in Richmond on Saturday, May 4 will come from a 1000 tree giveaway being held by Capital Junk to celebrate Earth Day 2013 which happened last Monday, April 22.

Being held to celebrate Capital Junkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievement as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;First Carbon Neutral Fleet in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? this 1000 tree giveaway is meant to provide everyone with the opportunity to have a tree planted to reduce their own carbon footprint. A $1 donation to Capital Junk in this 1000 tree giveaway will facilitate the planting of a tree on the personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behalf at the May 4th tree planting event in Richmond.

The 1000 tree giveaway by Capital Junk was launched at Ottawa city hall last Monday, April 22 which was Earth Day this year.

To arrange to have a tree planted on your behalf, please contact Capital Junk at 613-825-0707 or email Krista@capitaljunk.ca.

Three wrestlers, students at South Carleton High School in Richmond, who attended the 2013 Juvenile/Cadet National Wrestling Championship in Saskatoon in early April are, from left, Claire Lizotte, Liam Crockett and Andrea Pretty.

EMC sports - The road to a bronze medal in the recent Ontario Basketball Provincial Championships saw the Goulbourn Hornets Major Atom Boys team defeat both the number one ranked team and the number four ranked team – not bad for a team that entered the tournament ranked number five in the eight team division.

Playing in Division 6 of the Ontario Basketball Provincial Championships on the weekend of April 5-7, the Hornets had the unenviable task of starting off in pool play by facing the number one ranked team, Kingston Impact. No problem. The Hornets jumped out to a good lead and rolled to a 39-28 lead.

So then the Hornets faced off against the Niagara Rangers, the team ranked number four in the tournament. Again, no problem. The Hor-

nets pulled off a 47-40 victory.

Even though the Hornets lost their third game in pool play to the Tecumseh Saints, the Hornets finished first in their pool in this preliminary play.

On Sunday, April 7, the Hornets met the second ranked Etobicoke Thunder in semi-final action. The game was tense; the game was filled with emotion. And, in the end, the Hornets ended up losing 50-44. But the Hornets still had one more game to play, the bronze medal match against Team Breakdown – OYIA. The Hornets led 20-11 at half time but then Team Breakdown made a push in the third quarter, with the score tightening up. But in the end, the Goulbourn hornets pulled out a two point win. The Ontario Basketball Provincial Championships bronze medals went to the Hornets.

Sam Swafford loves sensation of gliding on ice John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Last November, 12 year old Sam Swafford of Stittsville tried sledge hockey for the first time. He initially did not want to give it a try but that quickly changed.

As soon as he got in the sledge and went down the ice, a love was born.

And now Sam’s biggest goal is to make the Canadian National Sledge Hockey Team in the future.

“To think that I could play competitive sledge hockey sometime in the future and maybe even have the chance to represent Canada would be a dream come true,” he says.

Not bad for someone who had only seen sledge hockey once before in the Paralympics before he tried it himself last November.

He admits that he has tried some sports like soccer and swimming previously but sledge hockey, in his view is simply “the best,” calling it a “great sport.” Since the start, he has been struck by the sensation of gliding on ice and the freedom that it provides, feelings that other athletes may take somewhat for granted.

What Sam likes most about sledge hockey is being able

to move on the ice and play hockey without skating.

Usually playing forward, he says that he likes to pass the puck and checking a player into the board is not unknown to him. He says that his greatest challenge in sledge hockey is handling the puck – he’s getting better at it but he admits that it takes a lot of practice.

During the season, Sam practices once a week and sometimes plays games against local minor hockey teams as well as sledge hockey teams from Montreal. He recently played in the Quebec City Challenge Hivernal tournament, his first ever tournament. He assisted on a number of goals that helped Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario’s Ottawa Valley Lasers bring home the gold medals.

“The best part of playing in a tournament is learning to play better as a team and get stronger with each game we play,” Sam says. He particularly enjoyed the Quebec City tournament because his parents and his sister Rachel were there, cheering on the team.

This weekend there is a tournament in Orleans and Sam is hoping for even more games and tournaments next season.

Sam’s introduction to sledge hockey at a special community event “Sledge Hockey in Stittsville” organized by Sledge Hockey of Eastern Ontario (SHEO) in cooperation with city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri at the new sledge hockey-friendly ice surface at the Goulbourn Recreation Centre (GRC) in Stittsville has meant that Sam is able to participate in a sport. This had been challenging with regard to sports such as regular hockey because of a physical disability.

Sam’s mother Heather Swafford admits that it has been difficult to find accessible activities in which Sam could participate. But to find the sport of sledge hockey has proven beneficial, with Heather noting that being involved in sledge hockey has changed how Sam sees himself and views his abilities.

“Sledge hockey has opened doors for Sam,” his mother says, noting that the sport provides a comfort zone and place of respect and unspoken understanding where players with all types of abilities can play together.

She also notes how Sam’s face lights up when he successfully checks a larger op-

ponent. This only strengthens his determination to try out for different teams as he gets older and eventually be on the national team, just like Marc Dorion, a member of the national team whom Sam met at his initial sledge hockey experience at the GRC. “He sees being on Canada’s

national sledge team is a real possibility,” Heather says about her son, who is an admitted Ottawa Senators fan.

Sledge hockey provides an opportunity for children, youth and adults with physical disabilities to play hockey, albeit while sitting on a sledge or sled that has two skate blades.

A player uses two poles for sticks. These have a curved blade with metal teeth at one end of the blade that allows for the player to maneuver and propel himself or herself on the ice.

Sledge hockey was invented in Sweden in the early 1960’s.

Winners in the grade 1-3 category of the “Spring Cleaning in Richmond” poster contest sponsored by the Richmond Village Association at Richmond Public School are, from left, finalists Cameron Mayda and Avery MacLeod, winner Devyn Flanders, and finalists Hannah Richard, Auden Larratt and Trinity Shane.

‘Spring Cleaning in Richmond’ poster contest EMC news - Awareness is always part of promoting an event or activity. And one way of raising awareness is to get an event known by putting up posters in the community, advertizing the event.

Well, the Richmond Village Association (RVA) now has about 100 posters which it is using to promote the upcoming “Spring Cleaning in Richmond” community clean-up event which is happening this coming Saturday, April 27.

These posters can be seen at King’s Your Independent Grocer along with

other locations around Richmond.

The posters are the artistic creations of students from both Richmond Public School and St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond, with the RVA partnering with the two schools to hold a poster contest focused on promoting the “Spring Cleaning in Richmond” event on

Saturday, April 27.

A total of 113 entries were received by the RVA from the students, making for a difficult chore for judges Salena Richard, Patty Smith, Jim MacGillivray and Rosemary MacArthur not only because of the number of entries but because of their overall quality.

This was a point made by Don Flanders, who helped organize the poster contest on behalf of the RVA, last Friday when he and judge Salena Richard visited both schools to present certificates to the finalists and winners at the schools.

Poster contest sponsored by Richmond Village Association They also presented prizes consisting of art supplies to the winners.

Mr. Flanders told the poster finalists and winners that the judges had quite a time trying to decide on the winning posters because all of the posters were so well done.

But in the end, the judges decided on what they considered the most outstanding and exceptional posters submitted and their creators were all acknowledged, either as finalists or as winners.

At Richmond Public School, Devyn Flanders was the winner in the grades 1-3 category. Finalists included Avery MacLeod, Auden Larratt, Cameron Mayda, Hannah Richard and Trinity Shane.

For the grade 4-5 category at Richmond Public School, Elle Spencer was selected as the winner. Finalists included Erin, Emily Brown, Sara Ferguson, Paige King, Haily Dunlop, Matt Chard, Siobhan McIntyre, Julia Sanderson and Cameron Ferguson.

At St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond, posters were created by members of the school’s Green Team, a group of over 25 students

who carry out environmental initiatives and projects at the school.

Winners at St. Philip Catholic School were Alaina Dunn and Jessika Green. Finalists included Emma Taylor, Mary-Jane Shackleton, Olivia Rowsell, Sofia Buffone, Felix Wooltorton and Payton Jacobs.

Students involved in the Green Team at St. Philip’ collect the recycling boxes from the classrooms, ensure that classroom lights and computers are turned off when the classroom is not in use, make student announcements publicizing events such as Earth Day (April 22) and participate in Earth Hour observances.

This year, for instance, St. Philip’s observed Earth Hour by turning off the lights in the school hallways for the whole day prior to Earth Hour itself which was observed on a Saturday. But students took the message home and families were also able to reduce electricity use during Earth Hour itself.

At the poster awards ceremony, St. Philip principal Kathy Fischer reminded the Green Team students that they do environmental initiatives because God gave people this

wonderful earth and people must look after it.

At both schools, Mr. Flanders of the RVA told the students that their posters focused on cleaning up Richmond are being used by the RVA to help publicize the community clean

up day planned for this coming Saturday, April 27 when residents are being urged to clean up areas of the village where litter and debris have collected over the winner.

It is part of the city of Ottawa’s “Clean up the Capital”

campaign which happens each spring and fall.

Richmond residents wanting to participate in this Saturday’s “Spring Cleaning in Richmond” should visit the “clean up” headquarters at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian

Church on McBean Street in the morning where they will receive bags to help with the clean up efforts. Participating residents can then go off and clean up a location of their choice in the village of Richmond.

EMC news – There’s a community blood donor clinic coming up in Richmond next month.

Canadian Blood Services is holding the blood donor clinic on Thursday, May 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond.

To book an appointment to give blood at this clinic, visit www.blood. ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888236-6283).

All blood donations at community blood donor clinics held by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood.

It often requires many units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient.

Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment.

Canadian Blood Services, which organizes these community blood donor clinics, is a national, not-forprofit charitable organization that manages the blood supply in all prov-

The Kanata Men’s Lobball League is looking for players.

disappointment to me, but she said the ground out at Northcote wasn’t good enough for rose bushes.

And so I had to content myself with pictures cut out of the Steele-Briggs seed catalogue.

I was at the stage in my life when I loved to draw. And so I drew little gardens on each page of the big scribbler with the rough pages and the shiny black cover. I coloured the pages with my crayons. And so I would begin to create my very own catalogue. The roses went onto a page first. The red ones. Another page of drawings, and then the pink roses, and finally, the yellow ones.

By the time I had worked through all the little piles of cut-out flowers and pasted them into the scribbler, each separated by a crayoncoloured drawing, the scribbler was so fat, it was impossible to keep it closed.

But if nothing else, those scribblers were a bargain.

There were still plenty of empty pages left for the pictures of my favourite vegetables. I was never that fond of turnips or cabbages, but blood-red tomatoes and green cucumbers, yellow beans, and radishes, all had their own pages in my ‘seed catalogue’.

My brother Emerson, who was a far better artist that I was, and never let me forget it, laughed at my attempt at drawing gardens in my scribbler. But Mother said my pictures reminded her of the big calendar we got from Scott’s Hardware that year which was a coun-

try scene taken by a real camera. And that was good enough for me!

When finally, the little wood boxes of earth scattered all over the house started to sprout, and finally grow a few inches, my interest was renewed. I again looked every day to see their growth. I kept my handmade seed catalogue under my bed for the weeks it took for the wood boxes to produce enough growth to move the plants to the garden and the flower beds. Every so often I would take it out, swelled as it was to

three times its size, and leaf through it, anxious for the day I could take it out to the garden. Because when you could finally tell which plants would be carrots, and which would be cucumbers, and which flower bed would produce asters or cosmos, I would spend many a happy hour outside with my catalogue, matching my cut-out pictures to what was taking new life in the ground back in those depression years when we were expected to amuse ourselves without benefit.

Love to be paid attention and cuddled... know how to live with other cats and I am polite. A smaller version of a feline who is happy in his skin and enjoys life. Lets share our lives together and make memories... when are you coming to get me?

EMC lifestyle - The Steele-Briggs seed catalogue was now mine. Mother’s order had long since arrived. All over the house, for weeks, Mother had been urging little flat wood boxes of earth to show signs of life.

When Mother first planted the seeds that would have arrived in the mail COD, I was wild with excitement. I checked every day to see if anything had sprung up, but after days and days of constant vigilance, I lost interest, and instead concentrated on the seed catalogues, for which I had great plans.

Using one of the rough-lined scribblers Mother had bought from Ritz’s Drug Store in Renfrew on the One-Cent-Sale, I re-created my very own seed catalogue. When I was finished, it didn’t at all look like the Steele-Briggs one that came in wintertime.

The first thing I did was cut out all the pictures in the catalogue that were in colour. This job alone could wile away many hours at the kitchen table in the evening. Then I sorted the pictures in two piles ... one for vegetables and one for flowers.

When that job was finished, I next arranged the flowers into little piles, with my very favourites on top, and my least favourite ones on the bottom.

I was especially fond of the pictures of the roses. The red ones. And there were pink and yellow ones too, but the blood-red ones, I thought were very special.

Mother never ordered roses, which was a big

Detox with Whole Food

Action

Juicing Spring is here! And the best way to refresh both your energy & your body is to clean from the inside out by detoxing. By adding a “whole food juice” to your day, you can give your body a powerhouse of nutrients.

Whole food juicing gives you the benefits of optimal blood sugar with the inclusion of the fiber from the foods, a concentration of vitamins & minerals and the natural enzymes which make it all so easy to digest!

Get creative with ingredients like arugula, spinach, other veggies, fruits, herbs and or spices.

A detoxer’s delight, arugula and other cruciferous vegetables contain a phytonutrient called DIM which helps the liver cleanse and keeps your cells vibrant.

ARUGULA BERRY BLAST RECIPE Preparation Time: 5 min | Serves: 1 | Serving Size: 2 cups This spice it up blend of berries gives you 60% of your vitamin C needs for the day adding loads of antioxidant power to cleanse, while the arugula helps balance hormones and the lemon adds a refreshing zest to your life!

1 cup water 1 cup mixed berries ½ pear

1 cup arugula 1 tbsp lemon zest

Combine all in a blender for 1 full minute and enjoy!

Dr. Joel Lee Villeneuve

Quick simple fitness tips to help keep you motivated and in great shape: Get up 30-minutes earlier & get your exercise in.

If you typically take the elevator, take the stairs instead.

Take short 10-minute walks on your breaks.

Instead of grabbing a snack, take a walk or jog instead!

Break it into parts. Try fitting in 10-minutes 4 times a day.

Get to the gym when you can. There are often 2-3 times a week where you can fit the gym into your schedule, so take those times as they come.

Nothing stops you from doing a quick 20 sit-ups, push-ups, or jogging on the spot for 5-10 minutes… it all adds up!

Take up a sport that is both fun, challenging, allows you to network & gives you the exercise you need.

Raspberry clafoutis - a tasty treat newscanada.com Special to the News

EMC lifestyle (NC) - This pretty berrystudded dessert, raspberry clafoutis, is a delicious cross between a custard and a pancake. It makes a great entertaining option because you can pop it in the oven to bake while the main course is being served. It gets top marks as an arthritis fighter: it’s low in saturated fat for a dessert, and includes raspberries which are a great source of fibre, are high in antioxidants and have a low glycemic index.

Ingredients 2 cups (500 mL) unsweetened frozen raspberries 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) liquid egg substitute 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) 2 per cent milk 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour 3/4 cup (175 mL) granulated sugar 3 tbsp (45 mL) melted non-hydrogenated margarine 1 tbsp (15 mL) vanilla extract 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt Icing sugar (optional)

Low fat vanilla yogurt (optional) Directions Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Scatter raspberries in a greased, 11-inch (28 cm) shallow baking dish with fluted edges. Combine eggs, milk, flour, sugar, margarine, vanilla and salt in a blender. Blend, on medium speed, scraping the pitcher once, for 30 seconds or until smooth. (Or, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.)

Pour batter evenly over the raspberries.

Bake for 40 minutes or until set. Dust with icing sugar (optional). Slice into wedges and serve warm with a dollop of yogurt (optional).

Makes 12 servings.

Per serving: 166 calories, 5 g fat, 1 g saturated fat, 7 mg cholesterol, 111 mg sodium, 25 g carbohydrates, 2 g fibre, 15 g sugars, 5 g protein. Good source of vitamin A. Prep Saver Tips: Measure all ingredients except melted butter into the blender early in the day and reserve in the refrigerator until ready to blend, pour and bake. If you don’t have an 11-inch (28 cm) round dish, use a 12 x 9-inch (3 L) baking dish.

Great deals to happen at Mom-2-Mom Sale Special to the News

EMC news - The Mom-2-Mom Sale of gently used children’s toys, clothing and more is going to be a great place for great deals.

And if this Saturday, April 27 is a nice spring day, it is going to be an even greater place for deals because not only will the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds be filled with vendors, but also there should be some vendors set up outside.

Right now there are 17 vendors lined up with tables inside the Dining Hall and they will be there rain or shine. This is down just a bit from last year’s 20 vendors but this was intentional by the organizers at the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School so that there would be a bit more space for viewing the tables and negotiating deals. Those who attended last year’s Mom2-Mom Sale, which drew hundreds of people, can confirm that space was at a premium then.

This year’s event will be offering a more spacious atmosphere, although the same great deals on those gently used children’s items, so many in virtually flawless shape, will still be in evidence.

If you have a young child or a grandchild, this will be the place to be to scoop up a toy, clothing, book or other item in great condition at an unbelievably low price.

There’s absolutely no admission charge and lots of free parking.

In addition, the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School is holding a bake sale at the event as

well, so you can pick up some baked goodies along with your gently used children’s items.

And this is even a great event for vendors.

Given last year’s great turnout, there will be numerous sales galore at the event. But what is not sold at this Mom-2-Mom Sale can re-appear in two weeks’ time at a garage sale table in the annual Richmond Village-Wide Garage Sale event. So, one sorting of a family’s toys and clothing can suffice for two sales opportunities – what a win/win situation!

This Mom-2-Mom Sale is being held this Saturday, April 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds. This is the building that is right next to the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) with lots of parking between the two buildings.

For more information about this Mom-2Mom event which is being hosted by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School, please check out the website at www.rcns.ca or call 613-838-2575.

The Richmond Cooperative Nursery School, which is located in the basement hall at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street in Richmond, offers pre-school and toddler programs, as well as a summer program.

The Nursery School recently held an open house to kick off its registration for the upcoming 2013-2014 Nursery School year. There are still spaces available. Those interested should check out the website at www.rcns.ca for more information.

The flowers we lay upon their grave May wither and decay.

But the love for them who lies beneath Will never fade away.

Special thanks to Dr. Earl Gordon and the hospital staff at the Arnprior and District Hospital. All of you made a positive difference at a difďŹ cult time.

Loved and always remembered, Randy, Daphne, Brodie and Nicole

You are all in our hearts.
