Rain barrels are coming John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The barrels are going to be rolling at the Sobeys parking lot in Stittsville this Saturday, April 28. That’s when a truckload of rain barrels will be delivered to the parking lot and unloaded for pickup by those who have purchased them through a rain barrel program supporting the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). SVA representatives set up an order table at Sobeys last Saturday afternoon to try to sell some additional barrels with last-minute orders. SVA volunteers will be on hand at the Sobeys parking lot this coming Saturday to unload the barrels and have them ready for pickup.

The pickup will take place between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday. The rain barrels are being sold for $55 each, with the SVA receiving $10 of this. The SVA will be using these funds raised to help support SVA community events such as the Canada Day celebration, Villagefest, the Christmas Parade of Lights and Artists & Authors in the Park. The rain barrels being sold come in grey, terra cotta and black. Coming with these 220 litre/55 U.S. gallon barrels are a filter basket, spigot, nipple, over flow adaptor and four feet of overflow hose. Inquiries about these rain barrels should be directed to SVA secretary Tanya Hein at 613-686-1842.

Youth dance Special to the News

EMC news - There’s a youth dance happening in Stittsville this Friday, April 27.

EMC news - There’s no more keen Ottawa Senators fans than the folks at Stittsville Glass & Signs in downtown Stittsville. Just ask Merle the Mannequin, an integral part of the giant Sens Pride sign that stands along Stittsville Main Street at the shop’s location beside Village Square Park in the heart of Stittsville. Wearing an Ottawa Senators jersey, Merle stands beside the sign, with his own hand-held sign urging passing motorists to “Honk For Our Sens!” The shop’s regular giant sign is transformed into a massive Sens support billboard at Stanley Cup playoff time as it is filled with slogans of support for the team and its pursuit of the holy grail, that famous Stanley Cup. “We’re All In.” “Believe It.” “Show-

ing Our Sens Pride.” “On the Road to the Stanley Cup (featuring a picture of the Stanley Cup rather than the words). Go Sens Go (twice). “Be Loud, Be Proud.” And ‘Honk for The Sens.” These phrases are all emblazoned on the sign which also features a Sens flag blowing proudly near the road and two Ottawa Senators logos. All in all, it shouts Sens pride and Sens support. And passing motorists certainly notice it. Luc Therrien of Stittsville Glass & Signs says that vehicles passing by on Stittsville Main Street frequently honk in support of the Sens as they pass the sign. He said that the honking was frequent and constant after the Sens won against the New York Rangers at Scotiabank Place on Wednesday night, April 18. And, of course, the honking by passing motorists sets Sugar Bear, the dog of Luc and

Nancy Therrien, off barking. “When the honks go, the dog barks too and that’s really good,” says Luc of this cacophony of Sens support that happens. Sugar Bear, the Therriens’ small white dog, is the unofficial Sens dog. He even sports a Sens logo on his forehead which he wears throughout any Sens playoff run. Stittsville Glass & Signs has transformed the sign in front of the shop on Stittsville Main Street into a show of Sens support almost since the firm began in business at the site 12 years ago. The sign is transformed just before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin. As for Merle the Mannequin, Luc’s brother from Vancouver brought him all the way to Stittsville for service with the company’s sign. He was named Merle the Mannequin after Luc’s nephew.

Native storytelling at Stittsville library John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Abenaki history and culture will be coming alive at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library this Monday, April 30. This is when Daniel Richer will present a native storytelling performance in which he will share the richness of his Abenaki history and culture in the tradition of oral storytelling that is a major part of Abenaki culture. Indeed, in the Abenaki culture, storytelling is used not only as entertainment but also as a teaching method. The Abenaki use stories as a means of teaching children behaviour. The Abenaki are a tribe of native American and First Nations people and one of the Algonquian-speaking peoples of northeastern North America. Historically, the Abenaki were peaceful, although they were often forced to defend themselves against the Iroquois. They relied upon horticulture for their food as well as hunting and fishing. European diseases ravaged the Abenaki population

and when wars between the French and New England colonies threatened to annihilate them in their traditional lands which extended across most of northern New England, southern Quebec and the southern Maritimes, the Abenaki started to emigrate to Quebec. Before the Abenaki had contact with European settlers, their population may have been as high as 40,000. Today, there are about 12,000 Abenaki in Canada and the United States. Daniel Richer’s native Abenaki storytelling performance at the Stittsville library, which will run from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, April 30, is restricted to adults 50 years of age and over, with registration limited to 20 people. Pre-registration is required. This native storytelling performance is being offered by the Stittsville library in partnership with the Multicultural Arts and Schools in Community (MASC) program. Registration for this program can be done online at www.biblioottawalibrary.ca, in person at the Stittsville library on Stittsville Main Street or by phone at 613-836-3381.

‘Godspell’ is here John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news -The musical Godspell is being presented right here in Stittsville, with three shows being performed at Stittsville United Church this coming weekend of April 28/29. And what’s even better is that the only admission charge is a voluntary free will offering. All seating, though, is on a first come, first served basis. The shows will be presented this Saturday, April 28 at 7 p.m.; Sunday, April 29 at 10 a.m.; and again on Sunday, April 29 at 3 p.m. The musical runs almost two hours long with an intermission. This musical Godspell is the portrayal of a series of parables based on the gospel of Matthew, interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns. The musical originated in 1970 as a master’s thesis project. It then found its way into theatres after it came to the attention of musical theatre producers. Since then, it has been performed in London, Toronto and Broadway where a revival show is now underway. There was a film version of the musical released in 1973.

Honouring two supporters at Food Bank AGM John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Waste Management and the Stittsville District Lions Club are both going to be front and centre at the upcoming annual general meeting (AGM) of the Stittsville Food Bank. That’s because both Waste Management and the Stittsville District Lions Club are being recognized by the Food Bank this year for the extraordinary assistance which both organizations have provided to the Food Bank. Waste Management provided generous financial assistance to the Food Bank over the past year. It also provided one of the major prizes for the Christmas Basket draw which was held by Scotiabank in Stittsville, with all of the proceeds from the raffle draw going to the Stittsville Food Bank. The Stittsville District Lions Club has been a longtime supporter of the Stittsville Food Bank. At the Christmas Parade of Lights each year, Lions Club members collect food and monetary donations

for the Food Bank by patrolling along the parade route just before the parade. The Stittsville Food Bank uses its AGM each year as a forum to recognize some of the individuals, groups and businesses which provide assistance to the Food Bank. The AGM, including this volunteer recognition ceremony, will get underway on Monday, May 14 at 7 p.m. when refreshments will be served. The AGM itself will see the tabling of the Food Bank’s annual and financial reports as well as the election of officers for the coming year. The AGM will be held again this year at the old fire hall on Stittsville Main Street at Carleton Cathcart Street, next to the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Members of the public are most welcome to attend the event. “The AGM is open to all members of the public,� says Robin Derrick, chair of the Stittsville Food Bank. He notes that the Stittsville Food Bank provides a valuable ser-

vice to the community and is able to do so because of the large group of volunteers who help out. He says that the AGM is a good opportunity for those interested in becoming involved with the work of the Food Bank to indicate their interest or to find out more about the Food Bank’s programs and operations. The Stittsville Food Bank operation involves more than 50 volunteers. The Stittsville Food Bank provides emergency assistance to those in need of food

in the community. It serves Stittsville as well as Ashton and rural areas of Goulbourn. Founded in 1992, it is entirely run by volunteers. Every month about 50 families receive assistance from the Stittsville Food Bank. The Food Bank also has special Christmas Hamper, Thanksgiving and Easter programs at these special times of the year. The Stittsville Food Bank is guided by an 11 member Board of Directors. Members of the current Board are Robin

Derrick, chair; Janice LeBlanc, vice-chair; Wayne Beaten, treasurer; Helen Gunther, secretary; Theresa Qadri, director of client services; Margaret Stone, director of inventory; Helene Rivest, director of food drives; Steve Adam, director of publicity; and Barbara Cordukes, Pat Warford and Shelley Brown, directors at large. Monetary donations for the Stittsville Food Bank are gratefully accepted and can be sent to Stittsville Food Bank, P.O. Box 878, Stittsville, On

K2S 1B1. A tax receipt will be issued. Regular food donations can be made at a bin at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, at Giant Tiger, at city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri’s office at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex and at Holy Spirit Catholic Church on Shea Road. The Stittsville Food Bank can be contacted by leaving a voice message at 613-8310451. The Stittsville Food Bank’s website is at www. stittsvillefoodbank.ca

More than a tour John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was billed as an armchair tour of Richmond. And while it was this, touching on virtually all of the village’s well known pre-1900 buildings, it was also more as guest speaker Marion Scott, in the course of guiding the tour, told a little something about a number of the village’s early entrepreneurs and leading citizens. Included in this were some details about two of the early village’s most influential and wealthy women, both of whom need more research done about them in Ms. Scott’s view. Henrietta Lewis Lyon, daughter of Captain John Lewis, one of the three most prominent officers of the early military settlement, was married to William Lyon, the first male child born in Richmond in 1820 and the son of Captain George Lyon, another of the prominent officers of the military settlement and an entrepreneur in his own right. William Lyon, Henrietta’s husband, started a store in 1843 and his ledgers, which still exist, show that he did over 6,000 transactions between 1844 and 1846, even with some ledger pages missing. Besides being a storekeeper, he was also postmaster, a potash manufacturer and the first reeve of the village when it was incorporated in 1849. In 1851, William Lyon and his wife Henrietta had four children, three servants and two clerks. Unfortunately, in 1854, William died at the age of 34, leaving Henrietta as a widow. But two years later she married an Anglican minister who becomes Dean of Christ Church Cathedral in Ottawa (Bytown), thus making Henrietta a member of Bytown’s

elite, just as she has been a member of Richmond’s elite. However, although remarried and a minister’s wife, Henrietta continues to own the store and other property and is involved in numerous land transactions. “There’s a lot more to her than we know,” Ms. Scott said about Henrietta in her armchair tour of Richmond presentation at the Goulbourn Township Historical Society’s April meeting last Saturday afternoon, April 21 at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library. Another influential and enterprising woman of Richmond was Margaret Hill Malloch, daughter of Maria Hill of War of 1812 and Masonic Arms Tavern fame and wife of Edward Malloch who arrived in Richmond in 1819 to sell supplies to the settlers and became a big-time land spectulator, owning thousands of acres across Eastern Ontario which he constantly bought and sold. He was also a member of the provincial legislature in the 1830’s and 1840’s. He died in 1867. His wife, Margaret, who was born in 1812, carried on her husband’s enterprises after his death. She continued to buy and sell land and to hold numerous mortgages, attesting to her wealth. About 1870, she built the home that still stands at the northeast corner of Strachan Street and McBean Street for her mother, Maria Hill where she lived until her death in 1881. One of her daughters married Sir James Grant, a noted Canadian physician who was the doctor to Canada’s Governor-Generals. Ms. Scott believes, just like in the case of Henrietta Lyon, that there is much more that can be discovered about MarR0011250229

garet Malloch. And while Ms. Scott’s armchair tour of Richmond included information about various buildings of which photos were shown, her commentary also touched on numerous personages from Richmond of the 1800’s. One of these was Captain George Lyon, the father of storekeeper et al William Lyon, who owned more than 1,400 acres of land which eventually grew to more than 9,000 acres across the area. One of the officers of the original military settlement, he bought and sold land constantly. Captain Lyon was, in Ms. Scott’s view, “unbelievably significant to the whole area.” He build a dam across the Jock River on the upstream end of the village where he developed a saw mill, grist mill and distillery. He also had a carding mill. He had 14 children, two of whom became mayors of Ottawa and MPP’s. Another became a doctor while William was the first reeve of Richmond. Two early ministers of St. John’s Anglican Church in Richmond played significant roles in the early development of education in Carleton County. Rev. John Flood was a superintendent of schools for the whole county and travelled from school to school inspecting them. He started the first grammar school in the county in Richmond. A grammar school focused on a classical education rather than just a simple education that would be suitable for an ordinary farm boy. Rev. Charles Pettit, who served as rector of St. John’s for 22 years, also was instrumental in developing education in Carleton County. Captain John Lewis, who was not a member of the 100th Regiment of Food but rather of the 88th Regiment, did not arrive in Richmond until 1820. He had a store which his son Thomas was operating in 1851. One of his sons, John Bower Lewis, became a mayor of Ottawa and MPP. One of the interesting and as yet unresolved tidbits about Captain John Lewis is that when his will was probated, it listed him as being from both Richmond and Montreal. What was he doing in Montreal, wondered Ms. Scott in relaying this tidbit during her

Duncan MacDougall was a wagon maker who lived on the west side of McBean Street north of Martin Street. He made wagons and buggies, even devising an elevator that lifted them up to a second storey of his shop where they were painted. In 1901, he was listed in records as a widower with six unmarried daughters living at home with him. Henry McElroy, who was a merchant who also owned a floor mill and brick works, built the Queen Anne style home at the corner of McBean Street and Hamilton Street which today is best known as the Chanonhouse House. The home was built sometime after 1877 but before 1893 when Henry committed suicide in a back shed. He apparently still haunts the house, although he’s believed to be a friendly ghost. Dr. Chanonhouse later purchased the home, living and working from there until his death in 1928. Edward Reilly built the Reilly Hotel in 1857, a stone building that still stands today across from the Richmond Memorial Community Centre. “That was the building that epitomized Richmond at its height,” Ms. Scott said in describing this structure, although she did go on to say

that it had been built at the wrong time since the completion of a railway between Bytown and Prescott three years earlier in 1854 meant the decline of travelers through Richmond. Up until then, by Edward Reilly’s own count, 300 wagons a day in lumbering season travelled through Richmond on the way from the St. Lawrence to the lumber camps of the Ottawa Valley. Edward Reilly was, in Ms. Scott’s words, a witty, dynamic Irishman who liked horses, both owning them and playing them. He was a teamster for Philemon Wright who eloped with the daughter of a Bells Corners hotelier. He eventually built his stone Reilly Hotel in Richmond, with stables across Perth Street where the arena now is. He also operated a racetrack on what is now the Richmond fairgrounds. Among the buildings touched upon in Ms. Scott’s presentation were the Maguire house on McBean Street south of the Jock River, the oldest in the village, which was built as a one storey log house in 1834 and was improved with a second half-storey. Constantine Maguire and his wife had 14 children; St. John’s Anglican Church, a stone church built in 1860 to replace the originally 1823 building. In 1851, half of the population of the village claimed to be Anglican; the Hemphill House on Fowler Street near St. John’s Anglican Church, one of only two two-storey log houses in the village in 1851. William Hemphill, a tanner, purchased

it in 1875 and it remained in the Hemphill family until just recently; St. Philip’s Catholic Church, a stone building built in 1858 to replace a previous church which had burned 11 years earlier in 1847. The first Catholic mass was said in Richmond in 1819, with a wooden church built in 1825; The Brown Brothers store at the corner of McBean Street and Strachan Street which was built in 1856 and which became the Bank of Ottawa in 1905, with the Orange Lodge purchasing the building in 1923 to use the upstairs as the Lodge; and the current Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds which started life as a one storey structure on Cockburn Street which was then moved to Perth Street in 1890 with a second basement storey added. It was the home for dances, concerts, plays, court and council meetings with the downstairs housing a dining area and three jail cells. In 1950, it was moved across the street to its current location where it serves as the Dining Hall on the fairgrounds. Ms. Scott admitted that all of Richmond’s buildings need more research done about them, especially the older, smaller homes in the village which have nothing written about them right now. “These people all had their stories,” she reminded those at her presentation. She reminded everyone that it was now only six years to Richmond’s 200th anniversary in 2018, so that research about its buildings and history should be done starting now.

Picturing our past Villagefest on Sept. 29 John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Saturday, Sept. 29 will be the date for Villagefest in Stittsville this year. The Stittsville Village Association (SVA) which hosts this annual celebration of fall in Stittsville set this date at its last executive meeting. In setting the date, the SVA tried to avoid conict with Labour Day weekend and the weekends of the two local fall fairs in Richmond and Carp. The SVA also wanted to move the

date of Villagefest back in the calendar. For the past two years, Villagefest has been held on the second weekend in September but complaints had been received that this was too early a date in September, with community groups not yet back in action after the summer and with other activities prevailing, such as soccer events. SVA vice-president Phil Sweetnam noted that as the date moves later in September or later, the weather gets

cooler, making it more challenging for performers at the outdoor event. SVA director Theresa Qadri noted, though, that initially Villagefest was held in early October. The SVA executive eventually decided that this year’s Villagefest would take place on Saturday, Sept. 29. SVA president Marilyn Jenkins said that an SVA committee would be formed shortly to begin planning this year’s Villagefest activities.

Stittsville wife and mother dies in hospital from injuries Special to the News EMC news - A Stittsville wife and mother has died as a result of injuries sustained in a beating in her home on Wednesday, April 11. Theresa Anne Moreau Lefebvre, 46, died in hospital on Wednesday, April 18, having never regained consciousness following the beating. Her family donated her organs to help save the lives of others. With the death, the Ottawa Police Service termed the Stittsville incident a murder-suicide rather than a case of domestic violence and suicide. This is the fourth homicide in the city of Ottawa in 2012. On Wednesday, April 11, police had received a 9-1-1 call from a man later identiďŹ ed as Peter Lefebvre, 43, of Hartsmere Drive in Stittsville. The call resulted in the police ďŹ nding a woman in the Hartsmere Drive home with life threatening injuries.

The man was found dead about 1 p.m. that day in a wooded area about three kilometers from the home. The Ottawa Police Service had previously attended the same home in March of this year for a domestic dispute. It was the ďŹ rst and only prior call involving the police and this home. Theresa Anne Moreau Lefebvre is survived by two children, Nicholas and Kyle. Daughter of Gilbert and Frances Moreau, she is also survived by ďŹ ve siblings and many nieces and nephews and aunts and uncles. A funeral mass for Ms. Lefebvre was held last Monday, April 23 at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church on Woodroffe Avenue in Ottawa. Donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation or to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation would be appreciated by the family.

Schoolyard bullies forget how democracy works

E

lected officials won’t always agree on what’s right, but when they disagree, the public has right to reasonable discourse. Barrhaven’s elected public school trustee voted on an issue and the local MPP and city councillor have called for her resignation. That suggestion is not only foolish and parochial, but runs counter to something called democracy. They taught that back in high school but apparently some

people were away that day. The public school voters of Barrhaven elected Donna Blackburn to represent them and she has done a good job. MPP Lisa MacLeod and Ottawa Coun. Jan Harder can disagree with Blackburn whenever they like. That too is democracy. The contentious issue is a school inside the Greenbelt. The trustees could have decided to renovate Broadview Public School or choose to rebuild. Blackburn voted for the

rebuild. It’s more costly in the short term but offers savings in the long term because the board won’t have to go back and renovate and maintain year after year. Imagine, a politician thinking in the long term! Harder and MacLeod believe Blackburn should have voted for the cheaper short term solution. They say that any dollar spent on Broadview means needed expansions of Barrhaven schools will be delayed.

MacLeod and Harder have since then made threats about Blackburn’s future as a trustee, suggesting they will seek to have her thrown out. Harder and MacLeod should remember they are public servants. They get paid to represent their constituents and they are elected in free and fair elections. Both are paid enough to make a living on our tax money. Blackburn gets paid a pittance, suggesting she and the other school trustees serve

because they want to serve, not for career ambitions. Well paid and regularly in the limelight, Harder and MacLeod believe they can act like bullies and tell Blackburn what to do. It’s arrogance and one is left wondering when MacLeod and Harder will be fitted for their crowns. Blackburn was elected to make the right decisions when it comes to spending money so Ottawa’s children – all of them, not just those in Barrhaven – get the best pos-

sible education. It is patently ridiculous to suggest that all spending outside of Barrhaven slights Barrhaven residents. It begs some questions. Harder voted for renovations at a Kanata library: couldn’t that money have been used to improve the Barrhaven branch? And how could MacLeod allow herself to support investment in northern Ontario when that obviously takes away investment that could have benefited the people of Nepean-Carleton? And finally, how would they like another elected representative to stand up and question their commitment to local residents?

COLUMN

Only a game? Are you kidding? CHARLES GORDON Funny Town

O

nly in Canada could we get so philosophically wound up over a game. Hockey being the game, of course. For two months or so, the game takes over our national broadcaster and our sports pages and the consciousness of a lot of our people. This causes worries for some of the people whose consciousness is not taken over. They worry out loud, often in letters to the editor, about the game, particularly about the violence in it and sometimes about the way it has bumped reality shows off the CBC. Others, in other letters to the editor, are happy. Hockey, they say, defines us, so what’s so bad about spending two months allowing ourselves to be obsessed by it? So then there’s an argument over whether hockey defines us or not, which is followed by an argument over whether it’s good or bad that hockey defines us, which is followed by an argument over what hockey defines us as. We’ve had quite a bit of this during the National Hockey League playoffs so far. The early games, characterized by a lot of largely unpunished fighting, boarding and pushing and shoving, caused considerable hand-wringing. “Is this what Canada is all about?� people asked. “Is this who we are?� Because if this is who we are, it means we are a people who indulge in and delight in violence (because don’t forget that the TV ratings were high). That’s what was said and it was countered by people who said we are a tough nation that doesn’t get pushed around and that’s what our record in two world wars

shows. It’s intriguing that a game can cause such deep thinking. But the deep thoughts had to change later on, when games became faster and more peaceful. Think of the difference between the second and third games of the Senators-Rangers series. The second game was wild and violent, with brawls, injuries and suspensions. The third game was fast, skilful hockey with hardly a stick raised in anger. Is it Game 2 or Game 3 that defines us as a nation? The difference between the two games might be explained by stricter refereeing. The refs made it clear that the cheap shots, particularly after the whistle, were going to be punished. All of a sudden, the cheap shots disappeared. So maybe, instead of being a violent people, we are a people that plays by the rules, at least when we think we will be punished for not doing so. We are a nation that obeys the ref. That, of course, fits in with some of the classic stereotyping to which Canadians have subjected themselves over the years. We are obedient; we don’t take chances, we don’t jaywalk etc. The old joke: How do you get 200 Canadians out of the swimming pool? Say, “Please get out of the swimming pool.� Some people don’t mind that definition. Turned on its head it means that we get along with each other, we tolerate differences, we have a peaceful society. These are not qualities to be sneezed at in a troubled world. But it does rankle some people to think that we are not adventurous, not risk-takers, lovers not fighters. So the Game 2 definition of a Canadian appeals to them. They like they idea that we are fighters and they don’t mind it that people in the stands seem to enjoy the fighting as much as the goal-scoring. There is not a lot else to philosophize about during the Stanley Cup playoffs, so it’s no wonder that such an epidemic of deep thinking breaks out each year. But it’s always possible that, in fact, hockey is just a game. It’s an unCanadian theory, but you never know.

Heritage Advocacy Award presented to sisters John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The work of Linda Preston and Cheryl McCoy has brought Goulbourn’s past to life through the pages of two volumes of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past.� These efforts have now been recognized by the Goulbourn Museum with the presentation of the Museum’s Heritage Advocacy Award, an annual honour that recognizes those who have made an outstanding contribution in support of the Goulbourn Museum. The award was presented to Linda and Cheryl, who are Goulbourn natives, Richmond residents and sisters, at the Museum’s annual Evening of Appreciation for its volunteers on Thursday, April 19. Museum Board member Virginia Notley, in presenting the award, called the publication of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� a true “labour of love� by Linda and Cheryl, bringing Goulbourn’s past to life through interviews with some of the township’s older and longtime residents, focusing on their memories and recollections of days gone by in the community. The pair is now working on a third volume of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past.� All of the profits from publication of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� are going to the Goulbourn Museum.

Linda and Cheryl have done it all with regard to “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past,� ranging from developing the idea, transcribing and compiling interviews done by others, doing interviews themselves, writing the books, assembling appropriate photographs, laying out the pages, arranging for the printing, promoting the finished product and marketing the books. Cheryl McCoy, in her remarks after receiving the award with her sister, noted that it was a pleasure interviewing the older residents portrayed in the books. “It was a real honour to talk to and to interview these people,� she said, noting that she would leave their homes with her face sore from smiling from pleasure so much during the interviews. Volume 1 of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� involves the publication of interviews of longtime Goulbourn residents which were done over the years by members of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. These taped interviews were transcribed by Cheryl McCoy and compiled by Linda Preston to create the first volume of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past.� The interviews are with Herb Arbuckle, Freemy McCaffrey, the Eadie family (John and George Eadie and Christina Brown), William and Mabel Ander-

son, Elwin Vaughan, Herman Dawson, Reg Faulkner, Emery Smith, Delmer Green and sisters Isobel Crawford and Mary Collins with their recollections of Christmas when they were children. Volume 2 of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past� carries ten stories, six from interviews done by Cheryl McCoy, two from interviews done by Linda Preston and two others, one provided by Linda Crawford about Percy Cathcart and another done by the late Grace Thompson with Bertha Desjardins. The other stories told in the book include Lola Sample, Andrew Bak, Dr. Kenneth Hartin, Russell Dowdall, Lois Dowdall, Patricia McCoy, Vivian Cathcart and the Morton/Conley sawmill and other enterprises. Copies of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past,� both volumes, are available for purchase at the Goulbourn Museum at a cost of $20 each. Linda Preston, who also serves on the Board of Directors of the Goulbourn Museum, and Cheryl McCoy are the second recipients of the Museum’s Heritage Advocacy Award. The inaugural recipient was Pat Roberts, wife of the late Barry Roberts, who together with her husband has strongly supported the Museum, particularly with regard to publica-

tion of Barry’s landmark work “For King and Canada� which tells the story of the 100th Regiment of Foot during the War of 1812. The 100th Regiment of Foot provided the first soldier/settlers in Goulbourn township in 1818. The Evening of Appreciation for volunteers at which

the Heritage Advocacy Award was presented is an annual event held by the Goulbourn Museum to honour its volunteers and to thank them for their efforts on behalf of the Museum. Museum Board member Virginia Notley, in her remarks at the event, thanked

the Museum volunteers for all their help over the past year, help that took many different forms. This included assistance in the Museum’s history centre, participation in outreach activities, help for special events, donating artefacts and more.

Joy emerges from tragedy thanks to tissue donation John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Being a tissue donor transformed Sue Diotte’s daughter Sarah from victim to hero. “It’s like offering a life preserver to someone who is drowning,” Sue Diotte said in explaining organ and tissue donation to the 100 ladies at the third annual Women’s Breakfast hosted by the Catholic Women’s League (CWL) of Holy Spirit Parish in Stittsville in the church’s parish hall last Saturday morning, April 21. This was after she had told the story of her daughter’s tragic death but a death that suddenly resulted in joy and something good. It all happened in June, 2001 when Sarah, then 16 and Sue’s acknowledged close friend

as well as daughter, who did piano, line dancing and walking together, who shared a love of gardening and who together watched Oprah, was struck by a speeding car while crossing the road at an end-of-school party. Taken to hospital, she was brain dead, although her heart was still beating and she was still breathing. It was a nightmare for Sue as she was told that Sarah would not be surviving. But because she had talked with her daughter a couple of years before about organ donation and knew that Sarah supported organ and tissue donation, Sue was able to authorize the tissue donation which was all that was possible because of organ damage resulting from the car accident. So, while Sue lost her daughter and best

friend that night, she was able to experience joy as well thanks to the tissue donation. Sarah’s eyes provided the gift of sight to two people while her heart valves helped two others. Sue said that she gained an incredible sense of pride in her daughter knowing that four people would have better lives because of her donations. Being an organ or tissue donor provides an opportunity to make a person a hero, Sue said, noting that everyone has the potential to be such a donor. What a wonderful legacy such a donation is, she said. In her case, she says that she relives the joy that she experienced from Sarah’s tissue donation over and over again, especially when she is trying to get through a tough day.

She admitted that she is not an expert by any means on organ and tissue donation but said that she knows from her experience that there is incredible joy and peace that comes from saving a life through organ and tissue donation. It makes the donor a hero, she added. “I’ve learned that life is very precious and very short,” Sue told the ladies at the Women’s Breakfast, urging them to talk to their family members about organ and tissue donation. She said that such donations help save another or enhance a life and make your loss someone’s gain. She urged people to sign donor cards and make their wishes about organ and tissue donation known to family members. See DONATING on page 11

Donating tissue Ms. Diotte, who is from Arnprior, received a standing ovation from those in attendance. She was also given a “Tree of Life” Victorian sampler which was made in a year-long labour of love by Holy Spirit CWL member Marion Charbonneau. Although Marion could not be in attendance due to health issues, her daughter Daniell Rondeau was in attendance and was able to hug Sue on behalf of her mother. A raffle draw for a quilt was held at the Women’s Breakfast. The winner was Teresa Cardeal who is a Holy Spirit CWL member. She donated the quilt back to the CWL for another fundraising raffle in the future. The Women’s Breakfast featured a buffet-

style breakfast with eggs, sausages and baked items. White tablecloths were the order of the day while students from Sacred Heart Catholic High School acted as table servers, attired with white tops and black slacks. The week of April 22-28 is National Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week. Nearly 1500 people in Ontario are waiting for an organ at any one time. Every three days, one of these people dies because there is no organ available. Every organ donor has the potential to save up to eight lives while also enhancing the lives of up to 75 others through tissue donation. Just 21 percent of eligible Ontario residents are currently registered as organ and tissue donors.

Well water sample blitz coming

AGM for Munster Union Cemetery

John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

john.curry@metroland.com

John Curry

EMC news - It has now been 70 years since a Board of Trustees took over operation of the Munster Union Cemetery in Munster. It was back in 1942 that the operation of the cemetery, founded in 1886, was first turned over to a Board of Trustees. Prior to that, the cemetery had been looked after by the Munster Union Cemetery Incorporated. The current Board of Trustees is holding the annual meeting of the Munster Union Cemetery on Wednesday, May 2 at 7 p.m. at the Munster United Church in Munster. It is open to the public. The Munster Union Cemetery dates back

to 1886 when Thomas Tubman and his wife, the former Isabella Hill, provided two acres of land as the site for a cemetery in Munster. Mr. Tubman believed that the Munster area needed to have a non-denominational cemetery in its midst to meet the needs of those for whom burial in a church cemetery was not preferred or possible. The original two acre site of the Munster Union Cemetery has grown in recent years. In February 1980, a parcel of land was obtained along the south side of the original cemetery. In April 2002, land was obtained extending the cemetery property west to the Munster road. The land on the north side of the access road was then donated. R0011367078

Spring fair on Sunday, May 6 Scholarships, guest speaker, at Ottawa Waldorf School BAIT Weekend for Lions Club John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Games and activities for children. A puppet play. A luncheon. A display of art. These and more will be featured at a spring fair being held at the Ottawa Waldorf School in Stittsville on Sunday, May 6. This spring fair, which will run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., will take the form of an old fashioned fair. This means traditional games for children, some of which will be challenging. For older children, there will be a rope bridge to best their balance and a cata-

pult to test their aim. Younger children, though, will not be forgotten, as there will be a selection of games and activities. Face painting will be one of these activities. There will also be a puppet play that will be presented twice – once at 11:30 a.m. and again at 1:30 p.m. A lunch, prepared and donated by Waldorf parents, will be available for purchase in the main hall. The menu will include BBQ sausages, a popular item from past fairs. For the first time this year, there will be an Art Walk

ENING SOON P O

where local artists will be displaying their work. Another highlight of the fair will be Stone Soup, the school’s store, which will be open for business. It’s a great place to purchase supplies such as bees wax crayons, watercolour paint, felting supplies, doll making supplies and hand made toys. Everyone is welcome to attend this spring fair. The Ottawa Waldorf School is located on Goulbourn Street but the best way to reach the school is to park in the municipal parking lot on the west side of Stittsville Main Street just south of Abbott Street and then walk to the adjacent school.

Sidney Crosby in cardboard to be at SMHA BBQ at Sobeys John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Sidney Crosby will be in Stittsville this Saturday, April 28. Well, perhaps not Sidney Crosby in person, even though he now has the time with the elimination of his Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs last Sunday, but rather a lifesize cutout of the National Hockey League star will be front and centre at a fundraising BBQ for the Stittsville Minor Hockey Association (SMHA) at Sobeys in Stittsville. This lifesize cutout has been on display in the store in recent weeks, part of a promotion for Dempster’s bread. In the cutout, Sidney has a smaller person beside him, complete with a hole for a face. This allows for having your picture taken with the cardboard Sidney. This cutout will be at the BBQ so that youngsters (and older hockey fans as well) can have their photo taken in the company of Sidney Crosby while they enjoy the BBQ.

This fundraising BBQ will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Sobeys, with all of the proceeds going to the SMHA. There will be hot dogs, chips and pop, with Sobeys supplying the food and SMHA getting the profits. This is part of a good month for the SMHA partnering with Sobeys because the SMHA is also the recipient of this month’s Ottawa Senators Power Play Goals promotion which involves Sobeys. For every power play goal scored by the Sens in April, the SMHA is receiving $100. The BBQ will also be the occasion where Sobeys will be making a financial donation to the SMHA as part of the Dempster’s bread promotional campaign involving Sidney Crosby. So, this Saturday, April 28 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. is going to be a good Saturday for the SMHA and for Sidney Crosby fans. Lots of fundraising and lots of photos – the Sobeys parking lot is going to be the place to be for all hockey fans.

Munster school building cook stoves Special to the News

EMC news - Munster Elementary School is supporting the work of the Guatemala Stove Project (GSP), a registered Canadian charity. Students and staff received an information presentation by Mr. and Mrs. Mundy who are volunteers with the GSP. Mr.

Mundy is a former Munster Elementary School teacher. The GSP works with an indigenous non-profit group in Guatemala’s western highlands to build masonry cook stoves. These stoves replace the open cooking fires that cause health issues for families there. To help raise money

to support the GSP, Munster Elementary School is selling handmade bracelets from Guatemala for two dollars apiece. The school’s goal is to raise enough money to build three stoves. For information about the Guatemala Stove Project, visit the website www.guatemalastoveproject.org

First place finishers in the regular season in the Richmond Legion Dart League are Gerry Adamson, left, and Joanne Bradley, right. Missing from the photo is team member Pam Kilabuk.

EMC news - The trio of Paul Turnbull, John Villeneuve and Edna Monahan was right on target in the playoffs in the Richmond Legion dart league. That’s why the team emerged as the playoff A side winners as well as the overall playoff champions, claiming the Memorial Trophy. This is the former Neuman Trophy which for years was awarded for the champion dart team at the Richmond Legion. It was renamed to serve as the playoff championship trophy for the new Richmond Legion dart league which began for the 2011-2012 season with ten teams, ending a multi-year absence of darts from the activities at the Richmond Legion. Honoured as the first place team in the regular season at the league’s awards night last Saturday, April 21 at the Richmond Legion Hall was the team of Gerry Adamson, Joanne Bradley and Pam Kilabuk. The awards for the playoff B side winners went to the trio of Tim Lytle, Michelle Pasieka and Judy Masson. Fred Appel had the high score for the men this season while Lynne Owen had the high score for the ladies. Paul Turnbull had the most winds for the men while Cathie Lytle had the most wins for the ladies. The Richmond Legion dart league got going last fall thanks to the efforts of Wendy Ryan. At the awards night, she thanked those who had helped her in this inaugural season for the new league – Don and Marg Atkinson, Sharon Murphy, John Villeneuve, Mavis Lewis, Fred Appel and Shirley Morris. Members of the other teams in the league this past year which did not win regular season or playoff awards were James Bradley, Karen Kerr and Lynne Owen; Aileen Appel, Ross Sillett and Stephan Lavoie; Cathie Lytle, George Murphy and Karen Carter; Fred Appel, Shirley Morris and Sandi Lavoie; Mark Masson, Mike Pasieka and Sandra Johnson; Kathryn Rivest, Geoff Kilabuk and Brian Goss; and Chris Van Gaal, Mandy Payne and George Lambert.

Acceso founded by Christine Gervais of Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Acceso International, an Ottawa-based incorporated volunteer operated charitable organization that promotes and enables greater access to education for disadvantaged children, youth and women in Latin America and the Caribbean, has a Stittsville connection. Its founder and president is Christine Gervais, a Stittsville resident. This Saturday, April 28 is a big day for Acceso International as it is holding its tenth annual “Sounds and Tastes of the Americas” fundraising dinner, show and auction. It is all happening at the Ukrainian Hall at 1000 Byron Avenue near Woodroffe Avenue, with cocktails at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 6:30 p.m. and a show and auction starting at 8:30 p.m. Adrian Harewood of CBC TV will be the host for the evening while the celebrity auctioneer will be well known lawyer Lawrence Greenspon. This is Acceso International’s primary fundraising event of the year, with over 300 guests treated to the tastes of Latin American and Caribbean cuisine. There will be both silent and live auctions featuring over 150 donated items, many of which originate in the countries where Acceso International undertakes projects. There will be music and

dance performances during the evening. To date, this annual fundraising event has raised over $275,000 which goes to support Acceso International projects. Since 1996, Acceso International has worked in 12 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It has helped 42 pre-schools and daycares; 22 primary schools and 6 high schools; 20 women’s human rights workshops and cooperatives; 2 vocational centres; 2 orphanages; 2 dormitories; 6 libraries and 6 homework centres; 10 summer camps and 4 playgrounds; over 1,500 primary students with bursaries; over 350 high school students with bursaries; over 1,500 post secondary students with bursaries; over 750 immigrant and refugee children; over 3,000 post secondary students; over 5,000 high school students; over 12,000 primary students; over 1,300 preschool children; and over 13,000 library patrons. For thousands of children, Acceso International has put pencils in their hands, notebooks on their desks, shoes on their feet, uniforms over their shoulders, school bags on their backs and sometimes even food in their stomachs. For dozens of teachers, Acceso International has put chalk in their hands, resources in their classrooms and books in their libraries. For dozens of youth,

Acceso International has paid for tuition, transportation, books and nourishment. For dozens of women, Acceso International has provided positive alternatives, educational activities for their children and more promising employment opportunities. Acceso International was founded in 1996 by Dr. Christine Gervais who was inspired by her travels in Latin America and the Caribbean. Acutely aware of her own scholarship privileges, she started Acceso International to provide more educational opportunities for students in economically disadvantaged countries. Acceso International works with other locally-based and Canadian affiliated organizations to provide financial support for marginalized children, youth and women so that they may study in their own country within their own culture and in their own language. Access International provides bursary assistance for individuals attending pre-schools, primary schools, high schools and post-secondary level institutions. It also provides educational materials for preschools, day cares, schools, libraries, women’s centres, orphanages and homework centres. Acceso International’s work is based on an understanding that despite the efforts of governmental and non-governmental organiza-

tions in the advancement of education, access remains a significant problem in many developing countries. The problem of unequal access to education is particularly significant for individuals living in rural or remote areas of developing countries.

That’s why Acceso International gives higher priority to individuals, groups and schools who are considered more vulnerable due to their extreme geographic dislocation and economic disadvantage. Acceso International at-

tempts to ensure that the basic human right of education is guaranteed and that is equally accessible to all. The website for Acceso International is www.accesointernational.ca For more information, please call 613-831-9158.

Sellers, buyers galore

Patriots’ banners Special to the News

John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was like a wall-to-wall garage sale at the Dining Hall at the Richmond fairgrounds beside the Richmond arena last Saturday morning, April 21. And going hand in hand with this wall-to-wall army of sellers was just what you would expect – wall-to-wall people. There were parents flying solo, there were parents with their children, there were parents with babes in arms, and there were grandparents. They were all looking for that child’s toy or that baby item or that game or that article of clothing that was just what they were seeking – and at a great price. All this frenzied buying and selling happened at the first-ever Spring Mom-2-Mom Sale organized by the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School and held at the Dining Hall from 9 a.m. to noon last Saturday. The Nursery School rented out the tables that filled the Dining Hall and then it was up to each individual vendor – whatever was sold was money for the vendor to keep. Tables were filled with gently used baby and children’s items, all at low, low prices. The space under the tables was equally used to display items for sale. And, indeed, the prices could be even lower with some bargaining. Just ask young Josh Frenken who walked out of there with a giant stuffed green giant dinosaur that he captured for $3, a couple of dollars below the $5 asking price. There were also some bake goodies on sale thanks to the Nursery School itself. And although it was raining outside for some of the morning, the rain did not dampen either the numbers or the enthusiasm of the crowd. It was a buying bonanza inside the Dining Hall with moms selling to moms, recycling gently used baby and children’s items to happy new owners. It matched up willing sellers with avid buyers – the recipe for a successful event. And that’s just what it was. Richmond Wide Garage Sale Day is being held in Richmond on Saturday, May 12, organized by the Richmond Village Association. Garage sale signs available as of Tuesday, May 1 for residents to advertise sale location on the day of the event from local real estate agencies: Royal LePage Team Realty (Cindy Green at 3441 McBean Street); Keller Williams – Solid Rock Realty (Michaela Criper at 26 Gamble Drive); Coldwell Banker Coburn Realty (Linda Williams at 3777 Strandherd Drive); and Remax Metro-City Realty Brokerage (Bonnie Jensen at 6159 Perth Street).

This spectacular season for the players, coaches and parents of the Stittsville Patriots PeeWee A hockey team has not only resulted in three more championship banners for Stittsville arenas but also with many fond memories, a truly priceless outcome for a most rewarding and successful season.

Madcap fantasy hits stage at Sacred Heart John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was delicious nonsense at its best, this “Alice in Wonderland” play. There was a recurring, stagecrossing rabbit. A laid-back caterpillar who basked in his own self-importance (“Come back, I have something important to say,” he says). The craziness of a Mad Hatter tea party. A croquet playing Queen of Hearts with one perpetual refrain, “Off with their heads.” A singing, wordmanipulating Mock Turtle. A

court scene about the stealing of tarts which puts the sentence before the verdict. A precariously perched Humpty Dumpty. A gallant, singing White Knight. And while madcap fantasy throughout, it was also engrossing entertainment. Yes, the presentation of the play “Alice in Wonderland” at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville from Wednesday to Saturday last week did indeed offer a trip into the land of wonder where nothing seems to make

sense and yet there are gems of sanity. Like why not celebrate “un-birthdays” rather than birthdays since there are so many more un-birthdays in a year? But be it the Mad Hatter with his riddle-filled tea party or the Cheshire Cat with its enduring grin or the White Queen who lives in the future or the past but never the present or a White Knight who cannot ride a horse or the chess-playing Red Queen or the rapper-like performance of Tweedledee and Tweedledum,

you never knew what was going to happen in this most entertaining of productions. Madcap, yes. Frolicking fantasy, for sure. But entertainment superb, you betcha. And an extra treat for those on opening night on Wednesday, April 18 was a Mad Tea Party for the audience, set up in the foyer of the school. All the zaniness and frivolous fun which was being exhibited on stage arrived at the foyer at intermission thanks to the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse. The Cards

were all there as well, carrying trays and offering goodies to those who sat at the tea tables, appropriately covered with tablecloths. And this whole tea party was presided over by none other than the King and Queen of Hearts who graced the intermission event. It was all like a madcap bonus to what was happening on stage in the play. Playing the role of Alice in this Sacred Heart version of “Alice in Wonderland” was Cassie Nagy who was perpetually on stage as she meandered her way through her experiences in the nonsensical world of “Wonderland.” Others in the cast were Taylor Hutchings as White Rabbit; Laura Thibedeau as Mouse; Mark Bujaki as King of Hearts and Caterpillar; Mitchell Owen as Duchess; Emily Pilon as March Hare; Kyle Curry as Mad Hatter; Courtney Bell as Dormouse; Nick Maillet as the White Knight and Cook; Emma Hickey, Victoria Gay and Ariel Hnatiw as Cheshire Cats; Spencer Donnelly as Queen of Hearts; Morgan O’Grady as Gryphon; Joel Curry as the Mock Turtle and Humpty Dumpty; Sasha Newar as the Red Queen; Andrea Lefebvre as the White Queen; Max Kunze as Tweedledee; Evan Marr as Tweedledum; Jordanna Tierney as Lory; Madi Middleton as Eaglet and Hedgehog; Ruby Odendaal as Dodo; Casandra Dana as Duck; Holly Whitney as Fish Footman; Evelyn Pageau as Frog Footman; Casandra Woodward as the Two of Spaces; Bridget Galloway as the Five of Spages; Jessica Wiemer as the Seven of Spades; Noah Rooney as the

Knave of Hearts; and Anna Ploeg, Breton Moorhouse, Nicholas Kuzmochka, Krista Weatherall, Meia Copeland, Brooke Hunsut, Grace Simonds and Julia Anderson as Cards. Teachers Ms. Marina Westbrook and Ms. Sarah Jennings were the directors of this production of “Alice in Wonderland” which was Sacred Heart’s entry in the Cappies, a program featuring high school dramatic and musical productions that includes a review in the Ottawa Citizen and involvement in an Academy Awards-type gala at the National Arts Centre in June. Alexandra Isenor, who played the lead role of Dorothy in the school’s production of The Wizard of Oz in last year’s Cappies program, served as a production assistant for this year’s play. Ms. Marina Westbrook was the costume designer while those who were responsible for constume construction were Ms. Tara Lewandowsky, Sasha Newar, Vincent Lalonde, Jana MacDonald, Trish Young, Kyle Curry, Joel Curry, Rylee Boyce, Elizabeth Schmidt, Kellsie Alexander-Smith, Holly Whitney, Michelle Dingley, Madi Middleton, Casandra Woodward, Meia Copeland, the Cards and Ms. Westbrook’s fashion class.

John Loewen, left, and Sam Burland, right, of Capital Junk, a locally owned and operated junk removal company that encourages environmental responsibility, stand beside a Capital Junk truck parked in the Stittsville Home Furniture parking lot on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville where a free e-waste drop-off day will be held this coming Saturday, April 28 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Please note that there is a limit of three items per household or business.

In October 2011, I held a Seniors Summit to discuss the issues facing our City’s seniors. During the election campaign, I had promised to hold a Seniors Summit during my ďŹ rst year in ofďŹ ce and I kept that promise with an event that was both educational and informative for those who attended.

Get rid of your e-waste - for free John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Now in year two of my mandate, I am hosting a day-long Youth Summit on October 12, 2012 at City Hall along with the honorary chair of the event, Councillor Mathieu &LEURY The Youth Summit aims to provide a forum for youth (ages 16-25) to speak freely about issues they are concerned about and encourage information sharing among all participants. There will be guest speakers and information sessions for those in attendance but a special focus will be placed on hearing from our youth to learn what is important to them. Our City boasts three universities, two COLLEGES AND MANY HIGH SCHOOLS &ROM THESE groups and others I want to draw a diverse group to the Youth Summit so that they can tell us about the challenges they face, learn about how the City can help, and help us go forward with a better understanding of how we at City Hall can improve our services for Ottawa’s youth.

EMC news - You can get rid of your e-waste this Saturday, April 28. That’s when Capital Junk, a locally owned and operated junk removal company, is holding a free (note this, it’s free) e-waste drop-off day right here in Stittsville. This means that you can drop off your own computer towers, keyboards, printers, fax machines, TV’s, monitors, stereos and other electronic accessories. The only restriction is that there is a limit of three items per household or business. And what is good about this is that you can drop these e-waste items off in the knowledge that the items will all be properly recycled. That’s because after the drop off finishes, Capital Junk will be transporting the items collected to local recycling facilities to ensure property disposal. Capital Junk, because of its ongoing residential and commercial junk removal activities, has relationships with all of the recycling services required to do this. Some

The planning of this summit is already underway with a steering committee meeting regularly. Registration will open up LATER THIS SUMMER AND ) EXPECT THAT SPOTS will go fast so keep an eye on www.ottawa. ca for news on the event or follow the City on Twitter at @ottawacity (@ottawaville en français). Just as we want to interact with youth on the day of the summit, so too do we want to hear from you in the lead-up to the summit. If you have any ideas for potential guest speakers, topics for discussion, or just something you think would work well as part of the summit, please email youth@ ottawa.ca or jeunesse@ottawa.ca.

of these are only available to firms like Capital Junk and not to individuals. Sam Burland of Capital Junk notes that it will take a couple of days’ work by Capital Junk to sort out all of the e-waste that will be collected at this free drop-off day and ensure that it is directed to the right recycling facility. Capital Junk holds these free e-waste drop off days not only because the company is committed to protecting the environment by making every effort to recycle what it collects on a daily basis but also, quite simply, because the firm receives requests for such e-waste drop off days from customers during the normal course of its regular business activities. This will be the fourth free e-waste drop off day held by Capital Junk. Two previous ones were held in Stittsville while another was held in Kanata. This Saturday’s free e-waste drop off day will be held once again in the parking lot at Stittsville Home Furniture at 1609 Stittsville Main Street, running from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Again, remember – there is a limit of three items per household or business. Stittsville Home Furniture has a big parking lot, so there is lots of space to park and unload items to drop them off with Capital Junk. Capital Junk, which started in 2009, provides full service junk removal for residential and commercial customers in the greater Ottawa area. It removes junk from homes and businesses, from single items right through to multiple truckloads. Capital Junk’s aim is to be environmentally responsible and to this end up to 70 percent of its loads are recycled. Capital Junk tries to be involved in the community as well, as evidenced by holding these free e-waste drop off days. Capital Junk also is involved in Ottawa’s “Take It Back Program,� “Adopt A Road,� “Cleaning the Capital� and “Clean River Program.� Capital Junk’s goal is to provide everyone with the opportunity to be more environmentally friendly.

Poster contest featuring Richmond’s spring clean-up John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - This Saturday’s spring clean-up in Richmond was the topic for an elementary school poster contest sponsored by the Richmond Village Association (RVA).

Students at both Richmond Public School and St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond participated in the poster contest, with winners and finalists selected in both schools. All of the posters submitted in the contest are being put on

display at King’s valu-mart at the Richmond Plaza. Winner among the younger students at Richmond Public School was Alyson Taylor for her poster depicting two girls picking up litter from a grassed area.

Finalists in this younger group were Emily Hunter, Kyla Ferguson, Devyn Flanders and Logan Tremblay. Amelia Joynson was the winner among the older students at Richmond Public School with her poster depicting a girl placing something in a recycle pin. The poster also features a rainbow, spring flowers, a tree and the phrase “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!� Finalists in this older group were Amy Armstrong, Shannon Arthurs, Michael Chamberlain and Tamzin Coles. At St. Philip Catholic School, the two winners were grade one student Charlotte

Poirier and grade two student Esme Gushue. The three finalists at St. Philip were grade two student Owen Tasse and grade three students Caitlin Godard and Samantha Penelton. Judges for the poster contest were RVA president Don Flanders, RVA secretary Rosemary McArthur and Richmond artists Patty Smith, Kathy McClure and Selina Richard. At the presentation of prizes and certificates at both schools, RVA president Don Flanders commented about the difficulty which the judges had in judging the posters due

to the large number of entries and due to the high caliber of the artwork displayed on all of the posters. The judging was based not only on the caliber of the artwork but also on the message portrayed by the poster. The posters were to depict spring clean-up activities. The spring clean-up that the posters are publicizing is taking place this Saturday, April 28 from 9 a.m. to noon throughout the village. Garbage bags and gloves to help in the clean-up will be available that morning at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street.

EMC news - It’s spring clean-up time in Richmond this Saturday, April 28. This clean-up, organized under the auspices of the Richmond Village Association, is part of the city of Ottawa’s Spring Cleaning The Capital campaign. St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street will be action central for this Saturday’s spring clean-up. That’s where anyone who is wanting to help with the clean-up can picked up garbage bags, leaf bags and gloves to help with the clean-up. After picking these up, then participants can go off to the street, park, ditch or public area where their clean-up efforts will be concentrated.

Then, the litter-filled bags can be returned to St. Andrew’s Church where they will be collected for pickup by the city of Ottawa. But that’s not the only reason to head back to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church following the clean-up. At noon, St. Andrew’s will be serving a chili and hot dog lunch for all participants in the clean-up. More information about this spring clean-up effort in Richmond this Saturday, April 28 can be found at the Richmond facebook site www. facebook.com/RichmondVillageAssociation or at the website www.rva1997.wordpress.com The more people who take part in this spring-clean up this Saturday means the better the village will look, with less litter and debris from winter lying around.

Your Children’s Aid National Volunteer Week The CAS is extremely grateful for its network of dedicated and compassionate volunteers. Their contribution provides a vital link between our organization and the community which we serve. Whether it is by doing clerical tasks or driving a child to a visit, each volunteer individually makes a lasting impact on the lives of the children, youth and families. In the last ten years, Ottawa CAS volunteers have contributed over 330,000 hours of volunteering. That is simply amazing and we can only hope that the momentum continues for years to come.

The dedication to the children and youth of Ottawa can be felt exponentially during National Volunteer Week.

And so, to all of our volunteers, thank you. The Ottawa CAS is always looking for more volunteers, especially drivers and tutors. Volunteer opportunities are available on a regular or occasional commitment basis, and the CAS can work out a flexible schedule that accommodates availability and respects other commitments.

EMC news - Here comes an opportunity to give blood and save lives. Canadian Blood Services is holding a community blood donor clinic on Friday, May 11 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville. Those wishing to donate at this clinic should book an appointment, either online at www. blood.ca or by calling 1-800-2DONATE. Every minute of every day in Canada, some-

one 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 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.

Segment of patriotic songs in ‘Coast to Coast’ concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - If you want to hear a number of patriotic songs, then the upcoming “Coast to Coast” concert of the Goulbourn Male Chorus is where you should be. That’s because this concert will be including a series of patriotic songs as part of a tribute to Canada’s armed forces. Among these songs will be “Heart of Oak,” a tune which has a special meaning for members of the armed forces. Indeed, the song is going to be introduced at the concert by Carleton-Mississippi Mills MP the Hon. Gordon O’Connor who has not only served as Minister of National Defence but also served in the Canadian military for over 30 years, retiring with the rank of Brigadier General. In his remarks at the concert, he will tell how “Heart of Oak” is the official march of the Royal Canadian Navy as well as being the official march of the Royal Navy of the United Kingdom and several other Commonwealth navies including those of Australia and New Zealand. “Heart of Oak” was first performed in public in 1759, a year in which British forces won several battles in the Seven Years War, boosting the song’s popularity. Singing “Heart of Oak” became an integral part of the traditions of the British navy. Sung by sailors whose oaken ships were about to face cannon fire at close quarters, the song helped the sailors voice their belief in themselves, in their vessels and in their nation. While the song has special

significance for the Royal Canadian Navy, it has long been enjoyed by members of all of the Canadian armed forces. Other songs that will be performed in the segment of the concert featuring patriotic songs will be “Amazing Grace,” “Eternal Father Strong to Save” which is a navy hymn and “Blades of Grass and Pure White Stones,” in memory of all fallen soldiers. This segment of the concert will also feature a tribute to Canada’s armed forces by Lt. Gen. Bill Carr (retired), who lived in Amberwood for many years. A World War Two veteran, he is a former Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff and Commander of the Canadian Forces Air Command. Art van Draanen, a member of the Goulbourn Male Chorus who went through the occupation of his native Holland in World War Two, later serving with the Dutch army in Indonesia, will be telling about Holland’s liberation by Canadian forces as part of this tribute to Canadian armed forces in this concert. While this tribute to Canada’s armed forces and the segment of patriotic songs are going to be one highlight of this “Coast to Coast” concert on Saturday, May 12, there is going to be plenty else to enjoy as well. Canadian folk songs will be front and centre. This includes not only the well known East Coast folk music as represented by the familiar “I’s the B’y that Builds the Boat” but also a couple of less familiar but equally enjoyable West Coast folk songs. There will also be a segment of other folk songs – Scottish, Irish and Welsh. So you will

40 Stittsville News EMC - Thursday, April 26, 2012

be hearing “Loch Lomond,” “Londonderry Air” and “Skye Boat Song,” among others. But this is not all, by any means. There’s going to be a whole segment of the concert filled with gospel and classic songs – ones like “River in Judea,” “Sing for Joy” and “Sing Your Way Home.” And the segment will wind up with a performance of “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” by four of the tenors of the Male Chorus, accompanied by guest violinist Norman E. Brown. And this in itself will be quite a treat

because Norman E. Brown has played the viola and violin since his youth and since arriving in Ottawa in 1990 has played with several orchestras. In addition to accompanying the four tenors, Mr. Brown will be accompanying several other Male Chorus selections on either the violin or viola. He will also be joining the bass baritone section of the Chorus on some songs and since he holds several degrees in voice performance and has performed as a soloist in concerts across North America and Europe, his participation

is going to be a musical treat. As if this were not enough, this concert is also going to feature a three-song performance by the newly formed West Ottawa Ladies’ Ensemble. And the audience is not going to escape from active participation in the concert as audience singalong involvement will be encouraged for several selections including “The Ash Grove,” a couple of other folk songs and, as a concert finale, the iconic “This Land is Your Land.” This “Coast to Coast” concert featuring the Goulbourn

Male Chorus plus its various guests will be held on Saturday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Tickets are available in advance at a reduced rate of $12 for adults at the Gaia Java Coffee Shop in Stittsville and at Christopher’s Meat Market in Richmond. Tickets will also be available at the door at the slightly higher price of $15 for adults. Youth and children aged 16 and under will be admitted free.

Another change was introduced recently that will have an enormous impact on our riders. Beginning July 1, 2012, the Rural Express Pass will be eliminated. All rural pass holders will now be able to purchase a regular express pass to use the rural express bus. The rural express pass was $145/month and the regular express pass is $119/month producing a significant savings for rural riders. This 18% reduction means an annual savings of over $300 for rural express pass holders. With the reduced rural fare, the hope is that we can increase ridership and reduce pressure on the Kanata Park’n’Ride by having more residents catch the bus closer to home. There have been minor changes made to the start times on the 283. The schedules have been set so that 95 percent of all trips can start on time and that 70 percent of all trips will get to their destination in the time allowed. The result of this is that some trips are scheduled a little earlier or a little later and some are scheduled to take a little longer or to take a little less time. Generally, we have tried to preserve arrival times downtown in the morning, even if it means adjustments to the departure times from the outer end of the route, and generally, we and tried to preserve departure times from downtown in the afternoon, even if it means adjustments to the arrival time at the outer end of the route. Whether it is positive or negative, OC Transpo is always interested in hearing your feedback. Feel free to email me any comments or concerns you may have over these or any of the other changes. Cleaning the Capital Cleaning the Capital is in full swing now with events across the City and throughout Rideau-Goulbourn. I just wanted to take the opportunity to address all the different projects going this weekend and the many that have already occurred. This Saturday, April 28, there are Cleaning the Capital projects in every corner of the ward, the biggest of which is being put on by the Richmond Village Association. If you’d like to help out the RVA, they will be meeting at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church on McBean Street at 9am and tackling the village in teams. Also on Saturday, teams will be cleaning up Munster and North Gower in addition to teams along Roger Stevens Drive, near Dwyer Hill Road, and in Spring Lake Estates off of Mackey Road.

Mock council supports green bin Special to the News

EMC news - The green bin is alive and well – at least at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville. In a mock council meeting

held in the grade ten civics class of teacher Matt Muirhead, a motion to cancel the green bin program went down to defeat by a whopping 23-4 margin.

Kanata Artists Studio Tour 2012

Each spring and fall, I’m always impressed with the amount of people that take part in the Cleaning the Capital program and 2012 is no different. With community groups covering Kars, Manotick, Country Club Village, Century Road, Poplarwood Avenue, Fairhurst Drive, and schools taking part as well, including St. Philip’s, Kars Public School, and Munster Elementary School, it’s hard to imagine any areas that aren’t covered by this campaign and the hard work by the volunteers.

Recently, OC Transpo has made some changes to transit that will affect riders in Goulbourn. After introducing the 201 shoppers bus in January, I noticed that it failed to go through the King’s Grant community which I felt needed to be addressed. The spring service changes brought King’s Grant into the routing for the 201 bringing this useful bus closer to more Richmond residents. The change means the 201 will stay on Perth Street, turn left onto Shea Road and will return to Huntley Road via Moore Street and Queenston Drive. I understand there were some signage errors when the change was made and I just want to clarify that only the 201 is undergoing these changes and the 283 will continue to use the route it always has. The impact to Queenston residents, east of Lundy’s Lane, is that they will now see one bus, twice each Monday.

In the mock council meeting, individual students were assigned the role of specific councillors to play. One student also played the role of city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson. The students, in this mock council format, debated the merits of the green bin program, with the outcome being the overwhelming rejection of

the motion to cancel the program. Bonafide city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, accompanied by Debbie Proulx from his staff, attended the mock council meeting which was held on Wednesday, April 18. He observed the debate and addressed the students about the proceedings.

cocoa bean factory where they saw how cocoa was turned into chocolate and where they again learned about fair trade practices; visited a sweat shop where they saw a lot of single mothers; visited a day care where these working mothers placed their children; visited a school where the students wear uniforms; and visited an orphanage which housed 250 youngsters.

EMC news - A glimpse of life in the Dominican Republic was provided at the Holy Spirit Parish Hall last Sunday by two Sacred Heart Catholic High School students who recently travelled there on the school’s Dominican Republic Experience. Grade 12 students Becky Zentner-Barrett and Jessie Connolly told about what they had seen and visited during their eight day trip there. Becky said that those from developed countries should not feel sorry for the people of the Dominican Republic, noting that while they supposedly have nothing, they have much in terms of their families and friends. She said that the trip was eye opening, terming it the “best week” of her life and saying that she would return there in a second if she had the opportunity. She said that those that she met in the Dominican Republic taught her so much with regard to the value of relationships and appreciating the little things in life. Becky said that the trip opened her eyes and changed her world, so much so that she has altered her focus for the future. While she still wants to be involved with the world of business, she now wants to focus on corporate social responsibility. In addition, she wants to volunteer in develop-

ing countries in the future. It was likewise a life changing experience for Jessie Connolly who has decided to attend the University of Guelph because of its association with organizations that work in the developing world and because of its commitment to the principles of fair trade. Jessie’s future goals may include becoming a doctor or a physical therapist. In both roles she sees herself doing work in developing countries. When in the Dominican Republic, the two girls, just like their 36 fellow student travelers, lived with local families which would be considered middle class. Becky noted that there is a real sense of community in the neighbourhoods there, with people coming and going freely from different homes and lots of chatter and conversation taking place. “It’s a lot of fun because everyone loves each other so much,” Becky said with regard to life in these neighbourhoods. Jessie echoed this sentiment, saying that the culture in the Dominican Republic is different from Canada in that doors to houses are always open and music and dancing are common. She noted that everyone there was completely welcoming to the students, pointing out that the students were exposed to a different community experience from what

“This orphanage was absolutely gorgeous,� she said, noting its brightly coloured walls and its related garden and park. Besides these visits, the Sacred Heart students also painted two houses as a way of giving back while there. While the Dominican Experience trip is meant to expose the students to how people live in the Dominican Republic, the house painting was done by the students as a way of helping the local people rather than just observing them and visiting places. At the locations like the school and the orphanage, the Sacred Heart students played games with the children and undertook activities like face painting and crafts with them. Soccer was a popular pastime. At locations like the school, there was a language barrier but it did not hamper things as hand signals and gestures replaced language.

“It was kind of like a game of charades the entire week,� Jessie said. In the year leading up to their trip, the Sacred Heart students undertook fundraising with such events as a giant garage sale. They ended up raising $18,000, none of which goes to pay for the trip. Rather, this money goes to purchase items such as soccer balls, toys and other things for the people in the Dominican Republic. Up until now, students at Sacred Heart have gone on these Dominican Republic trips every two years. Because of the interest and number of students who want to participate, the trips are now going to become an annual happening. Students who will be going on the school’s Dominican Experience trip in 2013 are now starting to raise funds, with a goal of $10,000 set. Three Sacred Heart students who will be going on this 2013 trip were at the presentation last Sunday: Charlotte Davis, Kendra DePippo and Reilly Walker.

O’Brien living the dream with Senators It’s not a dream anymore, Jim O’Brien. The Ottawa Senators forward can’t help smiling as he recalls the days of his youth back home in Minnesota, when the arrival of spri ng meant following his hockey heroes intently as they chased the Stanley Cup. All of it a magical scene to a young boy’s eyes. “You sit there, you watch it and you’re just kind of excited,” said O’Brien, the Senators’ first-round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft (29th overall). “You have your teams that you like, your players that you like and you’re watching them and cheering for them. It almost feels like you go through the ups and downs with them.” All these years later, O’Brien is still riding that wave of playoff emotion. Except he’s right in the middle of it as someone who’s grown into a role of some importance with the Senators since his callup from the American Hockey League’s Binghamton Senators at the beginning of February.

Since being called up from the Binghamton Senators in early February, Jim O’Brien has grown into a key role player with the big club in Ottawa, which led him to experience the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time (Photo by Andre

He’s been an effective penalty killer for head coach Paul MacLean and produced some of Ottawa’s best scoring chances during the firstround series against the New York Rangers. His slick backhand drop pass set up the overtime winner by Kyle Turris in Game 4.

The wild, raucous scene at Scotiabank Place during the Eastern Conference quarterfinal, the intensity of it all ... yes, O’Brien is truly living the dream these days. “Coming in, I said (to myself) ‘I’ve always been watching the Stanley Cup playoffs since I was

a little boy and now this year, it’s a little different,’” said O’Brien, a 23-year-old native of Maplewood, Minn. “I’m still going to be watching the other games, but now I’m playing in them, too. It’s a pretty cool feeling.” O’Brien was first summoned from Binghamton on Feb. 3 to help fill the void at centre caused by the absence of Jesse Winchester, whose absence from the lineup due to a concussion wound up lasting almost until the end of March. While Winchester returned for the start of the playoffs, there is no removing O’Brien from the lineup. He’s been that effective. Still, the 6-2, 200pound centre never

envisioned his callup lasting 28 games — including his first career National Hockey League goal back on Feb. 15 in Sunrise, Fla., against the Panthers (he’s added two more since then, along with three assists) — and then carrying on into the playoffs. “To be honest, when I got called up, I wasn’t thinking much more ahead than just the day at hand,” said O’Brien. “I’ve just got to get through this practice, I’ve got to make sure I’m getting better, I’ve got to make sure I’m good in this game, I’m doing this good ... so I mean no, I didn’t really look ahead to the next week, let alone to the playoffs.” Now that he’s here, O’Brien — one of the “Bingo Boys” on the current Senators roster who helped the B-Sens claim the Calder Cup a year ago — hoped to draw on that AHL playoff experience to help him now. “Everything’s up a level, but it’s the same kind of stuff down there. Just not as big,” O’Brien said of the AHL playoff grind. “You get the big emotional swings in the series and you get the ups and downs and changes in momentum. The only way to learn how to deal with it is to go through it a time or two. I’m feeling like I’ve gone through it (already). I feels like I’m better versed to handle it now.”

WHEN TO WATCH: Senators players salute the fans at Scotiabank Place last week after edging the New York Rangers 3-2 in overtime in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarter-final series.

Water chestnuts for Asian-style meatballs

PAT TREW

Pot campaign Special to the News

Water chestnuts, soy sauce and other seasonings add a different texture and lots of flavour to these meatballs. You can prepare these and cook them a day or so before you serve them for a quick start on a weekday supper. Just reheat them in the microwave to serve. They’re good served with rice or mashed potatoes. These meatballs are easy and quick to make. Baking meatballs in the oven is faster and more convenient than cooking them in a frying pan. Baked Oriental Meatballs half a can sliced water chestnuts 1 egg 2 tbsp. parsley 2 slices onion, finely chopped 1 small clove garlic, minced 1.5 tbsp. cornstarch 1 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce 454 grams lean ground beef Prepare a baking sheet that has a lip around it by lining it with aluminum foil.

ter. Take about half of the water chestnuts, and chop them coarsely. Set the remaining water chestnuts aside for another use. Store them in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 days. (These can be sliced and added to cooked peas for a nice flavour combination.) In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the chopped water chestnuts with the egg, parsley, onion, garlic, cornstarch and soy sauce. Mix well. Add the ground beef to the mixture and mix thoroughly. Form the meat mixture into meatballs about four centimetres in diameter. They may not hold the meatball shape, but that doesn’t matter. Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet. Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 15 to 20 minutes. The internal temperature will read 160 F (71 C) on a meat thermometer when they are done. Let sit on the baking sheet for at least five minutes. This makes it easier to lift them off without their breaking apart. Use a spatula to transfer the meatballs to a serving plate. Makes about 16 meatballs.

headliner for the evening is Glen Foster who goes by the moniker “That Canadian Guy.” As with previous Girls’ Night Out events, there is much more in store at this year’s event than just the entertainment. The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. with volunteer firefighters once again on hand to escort ladies to their seats. All of this can be enjoyed for just

EMC news - The campaign to legalize marijuana hit Richmond recently. Shortly after midnight on Saturday, April 7, the Ottawa Police Service was called to a dead end section of Cockburn Street in Richmond to deal with graffiti scrawled on a road sign. When the officers arrived, the headlights of their cruiser lit up the black and yellow checkered warning sign at the dead end that not only announced the end of the street but also advertized an upcoming event. Spray painted on the sign was a drawing of a marijuana leaf and the words SWED and 4:20. In decrypting these coded word messages, the officers discovered that SWED is an acronym for “Smoke Weed Every Day” and 4:20 is a term that has come to be known in certain circles as “Marijuana Appreciation Day” (April 20). It also refers to the consumption of cannabis and a way of identifying oneself with the cannabis sub-culture.

A tree stump, out of sight, out of mind

MARY COOK

Registered Nutritional Consultant, Healthy Living Consultant & Holistic Teaching Chef

Mary Cook’s Memories My brother Emerson said the sooner I got used to the tree stump, the better off I would be. Well, as far as I was concerned, if I lived to be 100, I would never get used to what was left of the big old elm tree behind the silo. To me, it represented everything I hated and feared, all rolled in one. I never knew if the big elm was cut down because it was too close to the silo or if it was cut down because it served its final purpose so well. And even though it meant many more footsteps to avoid passing it, to me, it was a small price to pay to avoid going anywhere near the place I hated with a passion. If I circled far away, towards the gravel pit, on my way to the west hill and if I walked with my eyes barely opened, I could almost miss seeing the stump. But even at that distance, I could see what it was used for and my stomach would churn every time I came anywhere close. There was a small hatchet imbedded in the surface of the stump. To me, it was as dreadful as the stump itself. Father had put a wide leather strap tightly around the stump as well and stuck into the strap was an assortment of knives. These never found their way into the kitchen and as far as I knew, they were never washed, likely just wiped clean on the grass and

What is Gluten? “Gluten Freeâ€? is all the buzz right now from restaurants carrying gluten free choices to bakeries oering gluten free sweet treats. But what is gluten? Gluten is a protein found within the seeds or grains of wheat, rye, barley, spelt, kamut and triticale. The proteins are loosely called “glutenâ€?, but gluten is made up of several subfractions of proteins. Gluten acts as a rubbery kind of binder when liquid is added and gives bread and wheat products their doughy texture – like the “glueâ€? that binds wheat products together. There is an old saying “One man’s food is another man’s poison.â€? This is deďŹ nitely the case with gluten. Those that have celiac disease cannot ingest gluten. Much of what we eat is absorbed through the surface of the small intestines via villi. In celiac disease, the small intestines become so damaged by gluten that villi become at and cannot do their job of absorbing nutrients and thus many nutrient deďŹ ciencies can occur in the celiac individual. Symptoms of celiac disease include muscle soreness, joint pain, congestion, stomach cramps, bloating, fatigue, gas, diarrhea or constipation, weight loss or weight gain, skin rashes, depression, irritability, confusion, anxiety and other mood changes.

Her explanation was simple enough, but never really did answer my concern. “It’s a man’s job,� she would say. I never got close enough to the stump to know what the flat surface looked like after years of serving its murderous purpose. There was never any attempt made to scrub it down with soap and water, which I always thought was the healthiest thing to do after using it. And Mother, who was meticulous about clean food, never seemed to mind that the stump bore the results of goodness knows how many slaughters. I once asked her about this, and she said the rain takes care of cleaning it and besides, everything coming off the stump was either, baked, fried or stewed. Although I was always considered one who had what Mother called a squeamish stomach, it was amazing to me how, when I sat down at the dinner or supper table to a roasted chicken, I was always able to put the stump behind the silo out of my mind. It was a good thing too. Had I brought up visions of what the chicken or any of the other farm animals that ended up on our table had to endure before their trip to the Findlay Oval, I would surely have given up eating meat for the rest of my life.

Photo archives on computer

Some people have what is called a “gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity.� Gluten intolerance/sensitivity is the body’s inability to digest gluten. Even though these individuals do not have celiac disease, they experience several uncomfortable symptoms such as fatigue, metabolism issues, skin rashes, digestive upsets and many other symptoms when they ingest gluten. Often times when the individual eliminates gluten from their diet, a myriad of symptoms are cleared and they have increased energy, clarity and even enhanced sports performance.

GLUTEN-FREE TOUR

stuck back into the leather strap waiting for their next piece of murderous business. This stump was where the chickens met their final fate. It was the duty of my brothers to catch our Sunday dinner out of the chicken coop or the barn yard, grab it by two legs and haul it over to the stump behind the silo. I tried to be anywhere but near the stump when Everett, Emerson or Earl were sent to do the dastardly deal. Only once did I actually hear the slaughter and I never wanted to live through that experience again. It was a deadly “thunk� and I pictured in my mind’s eye exactly what was happening and it would take every bit of nerve in my body to enjoy Sunday dinner that night. This was the place too, where the brothers cleaned the mud pout caught in the Bonnechere River. They would bring their catches up in a tin pail, lugging it up the hill to the stump. I could never understand how each of them, although mischievous, but never evil, could attack both a live chicken or a mud pout, and bring either to its sudden death without a second thought. Although my sister Audrey would never be asked to kill a chicken or clean a fish, she never seemed to harbour the fear and loathing I had of the stump behind the silo.

Tweens improve as season goes on EMC sports - The season ended with a gold medal performance, a fitting end to a season that saw the West Ottawa Wild Tween U-14 ‘A’ ringette team improve as the season unfolded. The team began the 20112012 season with an equal number of wins and losses. In the team’s first tournament of the season in Oshawa, the team entered the championship game in first place but lost 3-2 to Gloucester, bringing home the silver medals. At the team’s next tournament in Nepean, the Wild

again met Gloucester, this time in semi-final play, with Gloucester winning again. In the team’s third and next tournament in Arnprior, the Wild met Nepean in the championship game. Despite losing only 1-0, the Wild again had to settle for more silver medals. At a tournament in Cambridge, the Wild lost to Chatham in the semi-finals. But the team was just warming up at these tournaments, getting ready for the West Ottawa Wild’s own tournament in February. In this tournament, the Wild met

Arnprior in the championship game, winning 9-4 and capturing the gold medals. At the West Ottawa Wild Tween U14 ‘A’ team level of ringette, the team’s tournament results are tracked for its provincial ranking. By the end of February, the West Ottawa Wild Tweens were ranked fifth in the province. At the provincial championships which were hosted by the West Ottawa Ringette Association this year, the Wild defeated Kitchener, Chatham and Gloucester but then lost to Timmins in semi-final action.

Although the Wild did not win a medal in the provincial championship, the team’s performance did boost its provincial ranking from fifth to fourth place. This good showing in the provincial championships left the team well conditioned to do well in the National Capital Region Ringette League (NCRRL) championships. Although the team had a record of only four wins, two losses and two ties in the second half of regular season play, it stormed into the NCRRL playoffs with a lot of spirit. The Wild won all four

Here comes Yoga Day for Human Rights John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - You can pick the time. You can pick the instructor. You can pick the style of yoga. Wow, talk about choice. And you don’t have to phone before to reserve a spot or making an appointment. You simply show up, enjoy your selected hour of yoga, pay your very reasonable ten dollars for participating and then go home, all in the knowledge that all of the funds raised at this event are going to

help Amnesty International with its work in ďŹ ghting for and protecting human rights across the globe. This is all happening this coming Saturday, April 28 when Yoga Day for Human Rights is happening in Richmond, just like it will be happening in an assortment of yoga studios and community centres all across Canada. At this Yoga Day for Human Rights, a full schedule of yoga classes will be held at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall on Fowler Street

in Richmond, providing something for everyone. There’s a variety of instructors, all certiďŹ ed yoga instructors, and a variety of yoga styles being offered, so there is lots of choice. The cost is only ten dollars per class (ďŹ ve dollars for children under 13) with all of the proceeds going to Amnesty International’s work in protecting human rights around the world. Indeed, this year’s Yoga Day for Human Rights is focusing speciďŹ cal-

ly on raising awareness of women’s rights in Iran. These yoga classes this coming Saturday, April 28 at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall in Richmond will be one hour in length. The schedule is as follows: 9 a.m. – Classical Hatha Yoga with Sharon McMullen; 10:15 a.m. – Power Yoga with Camilla d’Entremont; 11:30 a.m. – Sivananda Yoga with Peter Beacham; 12:45 p.m. – A Blend of Three Styles of Hatha Yoga with Don Caldwell; 2 p.m. – Yin Yoga with Lia Pireli; 3:15

p.m. – Children’s Yoga (ages 6 to 12) with Kathy Gagne-Dubord; and 4:30 p.m. – Hatha Yoga with Karen Nickleson. And remember – there is no preregistration; simply drop in and take part in the class of your choice. For more information about this Yoga Day for Human Rights, please call 613-838-9643 or email info@ saintjohnsrichmond.ca.

April 23rd, 2012 NATURAL WHITE GRUB CONTROL TIPS As you may know, the official Provincial ban now replaces the City’s pesticide use policy. On Earth Day 2009, Council revoked the City’s pesticide use policy, which prohibited the cosmetic use of pesticides on municipally owned and operated property. Ontario’s province-wide policy bans the sale and the use of cosmetic pesticides, which took effect April 22, 2009. The following link provides information on the provincial regulation of pesticides. http://www.ene.gov.on.ca/en/land/pesticides/index.php.

‘Shakespeare’s Dead’ happening in Stittsville on Monday, April 30 John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Think of William Shakespeare and many thoughts come to mind, including death. Indeed, death is an outcome in some of Shakespeare’s plays. Hamlet, for example, dies from a poisoned blade in a fencing match. Macbeth is beheaded. And there’s more. A Company of Fools, Ottawa’s longest running professional Shakespearean company, has developed a 60 minute dramatic exploration of some of Shakespeare’s greatest deaths and is bringing it to Stittsville. Stittsville will be the first of ten performances of “Shakespeare’s Dead,” which will be presented by A Company of Fools in venues across the city of Ottawa in a two week period from Monday, April 30 to Friday, May 11.

The Stittsville performance of “Shakespeare’s Dead” will take place on Monday, April 30 at the Stittsville United Church on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street. The doors will open at 7 p.m. with seating on a first come, first served basis. The performance itself will begin at 7:30 p.m. sharp. The cost of the performance will be via a pass-the-hat procedure, just like has become traditional at A Company of Fools performances. “Shakespeare’s Dead” involves a small band of actors who are suddenly jolted into a creative frenzy when the spirit of William Shakespeare himself descends upon one of the players. Rap, improvisation, slapstick and all the shenanigans that the Fools have become famous for will follow in this 60 minute exploration of some of the greatest deaths

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

MPP wants Board review EMC news - CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren wants the Ontario Minister of Education to review the performance of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board’s trustees. In an April 18th letter to the Hon. Laurel Broten, the Minister of Education, Mr. MacLaren claims that the Board of Trustees of the Ottawa Carleton District School Board is dysfunctional, with a block of inner city trustees ignoring staff and community recommendations to build new schools and additions in the rapidly growing new housing areas of the city. “The lack of classroom space in the riding I represent is a serious concern,” Mr. MacLaren states in the letter. His riding of Carleton-Mississippi Mills covers Stittsville, Goulbourn, Kanata, West Carleton and Mississippi Mills. In his letter, Mr. MacLaren references a 2007 study of

the Ottawa Carleton District School Board by a special assignment team of the Ministry to identify problems with the Board. The resulting report includ-

ed 26 recommendations. Mr. MacLaren is asking the Minister of Education for an update on the progress made on these 26 recommendations.
