EMC news - The Goulbourn Male Chorus has not only grown in numbers and in reputation; it has also grown in the variety of its musical repertoire. That’s why the group’s upcoming spring concert entitled “My Heart’s in the Song” promises to be entertaining and enjoyable for one and all – because there will be a range of songs, something for everyone. So you will hear folk music ranging from Irish to English to American to Canadian; love songs including “My Wild Irish Rose” and “My Heart’s in the Highlands”; and more, such as the haunting “Song for the Mira,” the American civil war song “Aura Lee,” and the nautical tune “Hunker Down.” There will be a special singing of “The Working Man,” dedicated to the recently deceased Rita MacNeil who was so well known for her rendition of this song. And don’t forget the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ recent movement into western ballads, with the group being accompanied by guest harmonica player Norm Glaude. See CONCERT, page 6

The proposed subdivision will accommodate approximately 581 housing units made up of 285 single detached homes and 296 semi-detached units.

Blindness emphasized John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Lions Clubs have a special focus on helping the blind, something which has been part of the Lions work ever since the famous Helen Keller addressed a Lions convention in 1925 and challenged the Lions to work on issues related to the blind and the sight challenged. And this is something that has continued through to the present and so it was appropriate that blindness was the theme for the ceremony for the induction of three new members of the Stittsville District Lions Club at the Lions Hall in Stittsville on Wednesday evening, April 24. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND The three new members – Brenda Miller, Helen CulAt the Stittsville District Lions Club meeting at the Lions Hall in Stittsville bert and Ramsay Ferguson – were led into the hall blindon Wednesday evening, April 24 are Lions Zone 30 West Chair Susan folded, accompanied by their individual Lions sponsor Wilkes, left, of the Merrickville Lions Club, who was a special guest at – Don Redtman for Brenda Miller, Beth Lewis for Helen the meeting, and Stittsville District Lions Club president Beth Lewis, Culbert and Bob Lewis for Ramsay Ferguson. right. Lions Club member Paul Riddell, who led the induc-
tion ceremony, noted that being led in blindfolded to the ceremony was meant to let the new Lions members experience blindness for a few minutes as a way of emphasizing to them the Lions commitment to helping the blind. With the three new Lions members still blindfolded, Lion Don Zogalo read out the Lions code of ethics while Lion Jack Burke read out the purposes of Lionism. Two candles were lit – a white candle to represent light and a purple candle to represent Lions International. The new Lions members were then able to take off their blindfolds, once again returning to the world of the sighted. The ceremony then proceeded, with a reminder to the new members about what membership in a Lions Club means in terms of participating in Club events and attending meetings. They were presented with their yellow Lions Club vests and a Lions lapel pin, along with a certificate of membership before being personally welcomed into the Stittsville Lions Club by the others Lions who were in attendance.

Four large bins, small bin filled up Special to the News
JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND
Steve Morris carries an old television set that is destined for recycling at the electronics recycling depot hosted by the School Council at Stittsville Public School in partnership with Ontario Electronics Stewardship at Stittsville Public School in Stittsville last Saturday.
EMC news - Stittsville has fewer old computer and electronic equipment in its homes and businesses now thanks to last Saturday’s free recycling depot hosted by the Stittsville Public School Council. This electronics recycling depot, which ran from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the school on Granite Ridge Drive, attracted 506 vehicles dropping off items. And these items ended up filling up four large bins plus one smaller bin. Since the anticipation had been that one large bin might be filled up, this result was simply overwhelming. Think of all of the old computer and electronic items that have now been diverted from landfill to be recycled safely. This included old televisions, eight-tracks, computer towers, monitors, cell phones, speakers and more. Volunteers at the recycling depot were kept busy throughout the rainy morning. Even city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri was on hand for the event, helping to unload old televisions and other items and placing them in the receiving bins. For every tonne of old electronic equipment collected, the School Council at Stittsville Public School will receive funds from Ontario Electronics Stewardship (OES), a provincially-mandated program. These funds will be going directly to support the school. The recycling depot was held during the week which included Earth Day which took place on the preceding Monday, April 22.

Put Your Best Foot Forward:
Plan, Walk, Play, Enjoy May is Physical Activity Month and there is no better time to lace up your sneakers and put your best foot forward. Ottawa Public Health is sharing some tips to get residents moving!
PLAN Whether you walk for leisure to get reacquainted with your neighbours or as a useful way to get from point A to point B, there’s an “App” for that. Think about ways you can plan your trips and activities. Take advantage of new technology and Plan! Use websites such as Map my walk to map your own routes or visit National Capital Commission and Gatineau Park trails network websites for information on trails, maps, and route distances throughout Ottawa-Gatineau. OC Transpo has smartphone Apps that can help plan your trip. Or maybe you want to bike but the distance is too far? Find out what buses have a Rack and Roll.
WALK Walking is a low cost activity that can be done by almost anyone, anywhere. It is the ideal mode of transport for trips of 2km or less. Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and
walk to work or school, to the store or simply to get a coffee. Walk with a friend during lunch or take the bus to work and build walking into your everyday activities. Getting off a stop earlier will add extra minutes of physical activity to your day. When heading to the mall, grocery store or work, park at the far end of the parking lot - will also help avoid parking lot car door dings! Change your walking routes, borrow a pedometer from the library or rediscover Ottawa by taking walking tours – it will keep things interesting and fun.
PLAY Children need a variety of physical activities throughout their day! Ensure your child takes part in active and structured play. Active play is childled, fun and energetic while structured play is adult-led, teaching movement skills like running, jumping, climbing and balancing. Children learn these skills by playing games, participating in sports and activities such as dance. Visit the ‘Active for Life’ or ‘Bring Back Play’ websites for ideas and games to make play and physical activity fun for you and your family.
ENJOY: You need to enjoy what you do to stay active. Plan a date with friends and head to a local city pool for a swim, sign up to a run or a cycling race or head to a dog park for human-dog social time. Whatever it is that brings you joy, put your best foot forward. Get off the couch or out of your office chair and start enjoying a more active lifestyle – it’s easier than you think! For more tips and ideas follow Ottawa Public Health on Twitter @OttawaHealth, Facebook, Pinterest or visit our blog at OttawaPublicHealth. ca For questions or more information call or email the Ottawa Public Health information line at 613-580-6744 healthsante@ottawa.ca.
Walking is good for your health, enjoy and be aware! Written by Joanne Veldman, Public Health Nurse Ottawa Public Health
Be aware of your surroundings • Seeing and hearing is key – be aware that cellphones and earbuds can lower your awareness • Make eye contact with drivers and cyclists before you step off the curb, make sure they stop for you • If no sidewalk is available, walk facing traffic • Notice uneven surfaces to avoid falls
Be Seen • Wear bright coloured and reflective clothing especially on rainy days and during dark hours • Choose the safest route, even if you have to walk a little further • Plan your route and cross at intersections or marked crossings • Be predictable and follow the rules of the road
Be a role model • Children need adult supervision to cross streets until they develop an ability to judge speed, depth and distance of cars. This usually occurs with teaching, around 10-11 years of age
• Let children see your commitment to following the rules of the road Enjoy your walk and invite someone to join you! Remember your comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and water. To find out more information on walking safely visit Safe Kids Canada www.safekids. ca and Ministry of Transportation of Ontario

Concert on May 11th Even a yoga-a-thon It’s ‘B’ time Continued from page 1
This promises to give these western ballads a little more cowboy soul and feel, as it were. So you will hear “yippee-kayyay” and “Streets of Laredo,” two examples of this cowboy influence. This upcoming spring concert is being held on Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Tickets are now available in advance at $12 each at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre at 1300 Stittsville Main Street and at Domenic’s Music Store at 444 Ha-
zeldean Road in Kanata. Tickets at the door that night will cost $15 per person. Like with all Male Chorus concerts, children 16 and under are admitted free of charge. Robert Dueck is the music director of the Goulbourn Male Chorus which started out several years ago with 12 members and has now grown to 26 singers. Bonnie MacDiarmid is the group’s accompanist. The growing reputation of the Goulbourn Male Chorus was perhaps best displayed by the sellout crowd which attended the group’s Christmas concert this past December at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata.
Special to the News
EMC news - You have no doubt heard of and probably participated in a dance-a-thon. Maybe not so much a spin-a-thon since spinning (riding stationary bikes for fitness) has not been around as long as dancing, to say the least. But then there’s a yogaa-thon – now that’s something that doesn’t happen every day. But a yoga-a-thon, as well as a spin-a-thon and a dance-a-thon, is happening at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville at the fourth annual “Breast Friend FUNdraiser” that is happening this Friday, May 3. Starting at 6 p.m. and running for three hours, Breast Cancer Action,
a survivor-directed, voluntary organization that supports breast cancer patients and their families, is once again hosting this “Breast Friend FUNdraiser.” Participants can dance, spin or yoga their way in a class, all for a entrance fee of only $10 per person. You can enjoy two classes for only $15. What an opportunity not only to help raise funds to help Breast Cancer Action with its work with breast cancer patients but also to enjoy a dance (be it the Zumba or the Groove or a party-style dance) or take a spin on a fitness bike or experience yoga. Everyone is urged to support this “Breast Friend FUNdraiser.”

You can learn about the Community Design Plan process that is now underway by the city of Ottawa and also can provide some input to the process at a meeting that will be held on Thursday, May 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lions Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. The meeting is being hosted by the Stittsville District Lions Club as a way to encourage as much public participation and involvement in the process as possible. A public meeting about the current state of this Community Design Plan process was held recently at the hall at the Johnny Leroux Stittsville Community Arena, at which time it was suggested that the Stittsville Main Street of the future may have six storey buildings lining it.
This Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street is meant to set in place policies and zonings that will encourage the street’s development over the next 20 years. Stittsville Main Street is considered a Traditional Main Street in the city’s planning documents, providing a village core for the community. The idea of the Community Design Plan is to create the conditions where Stittsville Main Street can develop as a compact, mixed use, walkable community in its own right. The intent of the CDP, according to city of Ottawa urban designer Charles Lanktree, who is the lead planner for the CDP, is to transform Stittsville Main Street from its current limited function as a traffic arterial to being a complete community where people can live, work, shop and play. The Stittsville Main Street Community Design Plan process which is now underway is the result of city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri working with city of Ottawa
planning staff to ensure that development along Stittsville Main Street in the future retains the community feel of Stittsville. The Community Design Plan that will arise from this process will provide a 20 year vision and guidance for development along Stittsville Main Street. It was back in Nov. 2010 that councillor Qadri brought a motion to Ottawa city council asking for a work plan to develop a Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street. This request was as a result of a city approval for a five storey mixed residential/commercial building and related townhomes at a site on Stittsville Main Street. Councillor Qadri and some residents had argued that the scale of this development was inappropriate for the community. Stittsville Main Street is designated as a Traditional Mainstreet in the city’s Official Plan, making it a site for intensification of development, creating a compact, mixed use and walkable environment supporting transit, cycling and walking. Traffic on Stittsville Main Street is also a consideration as the street is meant to continue to function as a primary north/south route in the community. This means that Stittsville Main Street development must be of a type that will encourage a compact mixed use and
walkable environment rather than the auto-oriented, low-rise pattern of development which has prevailed to this point. This Community Design Plan for Stittsville Main Street is being undertaken by the city’s planning and growth management staff in collaboration with a public advisory committee comprised of community organizations, landowners, businesses and other interested parties. Following an initial Nov. 1 public workshop and the creation of a vision for the street, a public open house presenting this vision and the existing conditions that prevail along Stittsville Main Street was held recently. A draft Community Design Plan document will be produced in the second quarter of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, a community open house will be held to present the final Community Design Plan and to receive comments from the public. It is envisioned that the Community Design Plan will go to Ottawa city council for approval in the first quarter of 2014. Those planning on attending this upcoming May 9th meeting at the Lions Hall in Stittsville should conform their attendance with Lion Wayne Beaten at 613-836-5065 or via email at waynebeaten@rogers.com .

Time for a real transit plan
I
s a comprehensive transit plan too much for residents on both sides of the Ottawa River to ask for? Over the past few weeks, it has become clear that we don’t have a cohesive plan to direct the expansion of public transit services in the capital region. The National Capital Commission and the City of Ottawa are at odds on a pair of issues, namely a regional transit plan commissioned by those two organizations and the city of Gatineau and the preferred route for the western branch this city’s light rail system. For better or worse, Ottawa and Gatineau sit on opposite banks of what has long been Canada’s great divide. Despite those linguistic, cultural and political differences, people cross that divide on a regular basis to work, play or otherwise live their lives. This means leaders of both cities and the NCC, representing the federal government, need to consider how transit will evolve not only in Ottawa or Gatineau, but across the whole region. For example, the city’s transit commission chairwoman Diane Deans rejected the findings of a regional plan because it didn’t align with goals for transit in Ottawa. Was this because it sought to
envision something bigger than just the needs of this city? Did it dare to think of the capital as something more than just those living on the south side of the river? But then during discussions surrounding the western route of the LRT, maintaining the Prince of Wales Bridge as a potential interprovincial transit crossing was referenced as reason to reject using Carling Avenue for light rail. So then is regional transit planning important after all? These questions make one wonder if the western LRT considerations are being made in isolation, or if they truly are part of a larger plan. If they are part of such a plan, what is it? Does the NCC know what those plans are? Does Gatineau? As veterans of the eastern interprovincial bridge saga can surely attest, decision making across the provincial divide is anything but easy, but are necessary in order to make effective decisions about how to spend billions of dollars and that affect more than a million people. Let’s not make decisions in isolation. Let’s keep lines of communication open. It may not be easy, but it’s the only way the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau and the NCC can deliver the kind of public transit the capital region deserves.

We’re not exactly digging a tunnel of love
T
here is no progress without heartbreak. Or, as they used to say on the left, you can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs. In this respect, it’s intriguing to see how many different perspectives there can be on one project. A guy was complaining on the radio the other day, a guy who probably doesn’t live too far from me, about the west-end LRT route that has been proposed by city planners. The route goes beside the parkway, then up to the Richmond-Byron corridor, where it tunnels underground and emerges somewhere around Lincoln Fields. This was going to be awful, the guy said, in effect. Get ready for the lawsuits. I didn’t catch exactly where the guy lives, but I can feel his pain. I live a few blocks from where some of the work will being done and my feelings, while less intense, are certainly mixed. Which is the way it goes with projects of this magnitude. On the one hand, looking at the big picture: I’m glad that there is going to be more light rail. The city needs it. How many of us have just about stopped going downtown because parking and traffic are so difficult? I can see a day when I can walk a few blocks
Funny Town and hop on the train downtown. It’s hard not to like that. On the other hand, this thing isn’t going to be complete for 10 years. How many of those years will feature noisy digging and blasting, dust and smoke, closing off of streets and general inconvenience? From where I sit, it could mean having to take a slightly different route home; from where somebody else sits – perhaps the guy on the radio – it could mean years of real discomfort. It’s very nice that the proposed plan will save the Richmond-Byron Linear Park by tunneling under it, but first that tunnel has to be made. If you’re sitting right next to it, it may be a bit harder to appreciate the joys of expanded public transit. Similarly, if you’re on the north side of Published weekly by:

Richmond Road and accustomed to a nice view across the parkway to the river, it may not please you to know that trains will be coming along. And if you’re used to walking or biking along one of the paths beside the parkway, you may not be pleased at the thought it might disappear and be replaced by tracks. To dismiss such concerns at NIMBYism is unfair. NIMBYism is when you object to a proposed group home on your street – or someone else’s street. Being concerned about a tunnel being dug in front of your home is something else, as is being concerned about a 19-story condo going up beside you. Of course that’s one of the other perspectives on this particular transit project. Proximity to light rail makes an area attractive to developers, as if Richmond Road wasn’t attractive enough already. So with the light rail come more 19-story towers. The character of the neighbourhood changes – for the better, say the planners. Maybe not, say the neighbours. Still, it could have been worse, couldn’t it? The whole linear park could have been torn up. The parkway could have been given over to light rail, making the National Capital Commission sad.

Managing change is not easy for anyone. Imagine what it must have been like to live near the Queensway as it was being built in the late ’50s and early ’60s. That would have been serious noise. Then, just for fun, imagine what would have happened had opponents of the project won the day. Let’s see. No quick way into town from the suburbs. People who worked downtown would have to live downtown. Rapid transit would be a low priority. And no one would be arguing today about a tunnel along Byron. Sorry if that ruined your day.

Minor Midget B Rams repeat as champions Jonah Fortin Special to the News
EMC sports - The Stittsville Minor Midget B Rams are champions – again! The team captured its second league championship in a row, recently skating to victory in three playoff series on their way to the playoff title. The final series was against the powerhouse Metcalfe-Russell River Rats. The Rams got off to a good start, winning the opening game of this series 4-2. The River Rats came back to take the second game 4-1, tying up the series. A close 3-2 victory by the Rams in game three of the series meant that the Rams could wrap the championship up in the nest game and this is just what they did. The Rams came out flying in this game, leading 6-0 after just two periods of play. The final score of 8-2 gave the Rams the championship, the team’s second in a row – back-toback champions! The River Rats displayed amazing sportsmanship at the end of the game, forming two lines and congratulating the Rams as they skated between the lines on their way off the ice. The Rams had reached the finals by defeating the sixth place Ottawa Sting and the second place Nepean
Raiders in earlier playoff rounds. The Rams themselves had finished the regular season in third place with a record of 18 wins, 7 losses and 5 ties. In their first round series against the sixth place Ottawa Sting, the Rams won two straight to advance.
The first game was a thrilling 2-0 victory while the second game saw the Rams win by a 7-1 score. In their second round series against the second place Nepean Raiders, the Rams dropped the first game 51, putting their backs against the wall as the team then needed to win two
straight games or be eliminated from the playoff race. In game two of the series, the Rams pulled off a 3-2 victory to keep their playoff hopes alive. In the third and deciding game of the series, the Rams led 4-2 with only six minutes to go when the Ne-
pean Raiders scored two quick goals to tie up the game 4-4. The Rams had a power play opportunity with three minutes to go in the game, scoring with two minutes to play to go up 5-4. This is how the game ended and the Rams moved on to the final series.

EMC news - A new baking program at Brown’s Your Independent Grocer is providing an opportunity to children with developmental disabilities to acquire cooking skills. The program is a partnership between Prisms Options Programs, a not-for-profit parent group that tries to provide quality programs for children including teens and adults with autism and other developmental disabilities from the west end of the city of Ottawa, and Brown’s YIG. The baking program has been developed so that children with developmental disabilities can partake in such a program that is suited to their special needs. Being partnered with Sandra Brown of Brown’s YIG is a great advantage as she is not only a skilled and competent instructor who is sensitive to the needs of these special needs children but she also holds a developmental social worker’s degree, so she knows how such a program should be
arranged. The baking program is well organized and structured so that all the participants have the opportunity of practicing skills like measuring, pouring, mixing, stirring, spreading and cutting. They also learn how to separate eggs and use electric mixers. From the time that the participants arrive at one of these sessions in the upstairs cooking room at Brown’s YIG to the time that they leave, they are kept busy and involved with their baking creations. When they pause for a snack, it is to sample baked goods similar to what their own baked item will be like when they take it home after its time in the oven there. The cost for these baking program sessions is only $10 per person plus HST. For dates and to pre-register, interested parents should contact Simy Illouze at logme@rogers.com or should visit the Prisms Options Programs website at http://prismsoptions.wix.com/home .

Saxophone quartet plays at Gaia Java shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - What’s better than one saxophone playing?
What about four saxophones playing together? That’s exactly what happened at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Cof-
fee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday when the senior saxophone quartet from Canterbury High School performed. Fresh off winning their
category in the recent Kiwanis Music Festival, these four grade 12 students from Canterbury High School, dressed in black shirts and pants with red ties, opened with a number of tunes including “What A Wonderful World,” a song most closely associated with Louis Armstrong. After turning over the performance space to a Canterbury High School vocal trio, the saxophone quartet returned after intermission with two more selections, both with multiple movements. Indeed, the sheet music for one, namely the tune which won for them in the Kiwanis Festival, was so voluminous
and extensive that Gaia Java Coffee Company shop coowner Paul Jay had to produce a bigger music stand. Granted, it was an unused cabinet door but it did the trick. Members of this Canterbury High School saxophone quartet for this performance at the Gaia Java coffee shop were Gabe Paul, Brennan Anderson, Justin Purcell and stand-in Caelan Roberge-Toll. Gabe, Brennan and Justin are all in grade 12 while Caelan is in grade 11. The group’s regular fourth member Mark Brighten, another grade 12 student, was unable to perform as he had been involved in a car accident
earlier in the day. He was not injured but could not perform. Gabe Paul, who lives in Nepean, plans to travel after graduation, although admittedly with his saxophone in tow. Brennan Anderson, who lives in Carp, will be off after graduation to attend a jazz program at Humber College in Toronto. Justin Purcell, who lives in Orleans, is looking to pursue music at McGill University in Montreal. Caelan Roberge-Toll, still a year away from graduation, is hoping to enroll in a jazz music program for his post-secondary school studies. This Canterbury High School saxophone quartet features soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophones.

Stittsville actors in plays Special to the News
EMC news – Three from Stittsville are involved in the double bill of Canadian plays being performed at Canterbury High School in Ottawa from now through this Saturday, May 4. This is an annual tradition at Canterbury High School in which the school’s Arts Canterbury Theatre graduating grade 12 students present two plays. This year the plays are being presented together, with “Ten Lost Years” happening outside at 5 p.m. while “Schoolhouse” will start inside at 7 p.m. Three of the students involved – Jordan Campbell, Alex Covell and Kourtney Kelly – live in Stittsville, all having attended A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School.
JESSICA CUNHA/METROLAND
At art sale Vera van Baaren of Stittsville stands beside her painting entitled “Settlement on the Cliff,” one of her more modern works, which she displayed at the recent Nepean Fine Arts League Spring Sale.
And all three, like all of the students, are involved with the plays both on stage and behind the scenes. These two shows involving the graduating students are being surrounded by other attractions. Starting at 4:30 p.m. on each night, there will be a county fair held including food, music, games, prizes, raffles and even a silent auction. So, go for the county fair, enjoy “Ten Lost Years” at 5 p.m. outside, rain or shine thanks to tents for the audience, and then move inside and enjoy “Schoolhouse” at 7 p.m. “Ten Lost Years” is a collective-style play, telling the true stories of people who lived in Canada during the Great Depression. It uses music from the era along with genuine stories to
provide a glimpse of the struggles Canadians were facing during the Depression. “Schoolhouse,” another Canadian play, is set in rural Ontario in 1938. The play follows the trials and tribulations of a young teacher, Miss Linton, as she wrestles an unruly group of students into shape. A new student joining the group from a training school for boys brings out the prejudices of a tight knit community. For more information on these plays now being presented at Canterbury High School in Ottawa, check out the website https:// actgrads.squarespace.com/ or the Facebook page at Arts Canterbury Theatre Grades Present Schoolhouse & Ten Lost Years or email actgrads@gmail.com.

As many of you are already aware, Ottawa is both a large urban city and also the largest agricultural city in the country. While images of the Parliament Buildings, the Rideau Canal, or the Byward Market are iconic, these images mean Ottawa’s beautiful rural areas can sometimes be forgotten. From Greely, to Osgoode, to Carp, and beyond, Ottawa’s rural areas have an incredibly diverse set of offerings across the agriculture, culinary, and business sectors. These are critically important elements in our city and it is important that we do what we can to promote them to Ottawa’s residents and its visitors.

SCHS wrestler collects honours at three levels Special to the News
EMC sports - South Carleton High School student Kenneth Kaczkowski has collected wrestling honours at the high school, provincial and national levels. Kenneth placed first at the high school provincial tournament (Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Associations

Nut-free ice cream available at Lois ‘N’ Frima’s John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Everybody loves ice cream and should be able to enjoy it. But this is not the case with those with nut allergies. They have to avoid this universal treat because the ice cream is not nut-free. But now the new Lois ‘N’ Frima’s ice cream parlour in Stittsville has the solution. It is offering a selection of nut-free ice cream in addition to its regular offering of its famous hard ice cream, proclaimed as the best in Canada back in 1987. And not only is Lois ‘N’ Frima’s carrying nut-free ice cream but also it has set up a separate ice cream freezer which holds just the nutfree ice cream. And ice cream from this freezer is dispensed with scoops that are used exclusively for this nut-free ice cream, ensuring that there is absolutely no cross contamination from their use with regular ice cream. Lois ‘N’ Frima’s is not offering just one or two flavours of nut-free hard ice cream. Rather, it has eight flavours from which to choose – French Vanilla, Cookies ‘n Cream, Mint Chocolate Chip, Butterscotch Swirl, Dutch Chocolate, Strawberry, Cotton Candy and Bubble Gum. Indeed, a couple of these flavours, namely Cotton Candy and Bubble Gum, are not found among its regular ice cream offerings and so they are popular even with those who are not afflicted with nut allergies. What is great about this nut-free ice cream as well is that the price is the same as the regular ice cream. There is no extra charge for this specialty product. With the addition of this nut-free hard ice
cream, Lois ‘N’ Frima’s now covers all the bases – there’s the regular hard ice cream, famous now for over 30 years at its downtown Ottawa location; there’s also this new nut-free ice cream which Lois ‘N’ Frima’s has never carried at its downtown location because of a lack of space there to put the separate freezer and dispensing area; and there’s also sugar free ice cream and lactose free ice cream. So, Lois ‘N’ Frima’s can meet whatever need you have and ensure that you can enjoy an ice cream treat. Frank Olszynko of Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream says that while the nut-free ice cream which is being served now is not a Lois ‘N’ Frima’s ice cream product, it is still a delicious ice cream and it allows those who have not been able to enjoy an ice cream treat the opportunity to now have ice cream with no danger of inflaming a nut allergy. The Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour in Stittsville opened on Thursday, March 28 at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street. It specializes in hard ice cream, bringing to Stittsville its reputation of serving the best tasting ice cream in the city – a reputation built up over three decades in its downtown location, most recently in the Byward Market. Besides its famous hard ice cream in many flavours plus this new nut-free hard ice cream with its eight flavours, this Lois ‘N’ Frima’s ice cream parlour in Stittsville also has Gay Lea soft ice cream, milk shakes, sundaes, banana plits, Coke floats, whirlwind blizzards, Slushies Smoothies, cotton candy, popcorn and more. This Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour is located at the rear of the “Heads Up’ Barber Shop at the west end of the Ultramar gas bar plaza on Stittsville Main Street. A door
on the side of the building, right around the corner from the barber shop’s front, provides
direct access to the ice cream parlour and all of its treats.

Fundraising with skipping ropes, basketballs John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - What do a skipping rope and a basketball have in common? Yes, they can both be used for exercise – that’s one thing. But, even more importantly, both are instruments for fundraising for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. And both were front and centre at a kick off assembly at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville on Wednesday, April 24, getting the students psyched and enthusiastic about the school’s annual Jump Rope for Heart event on Friday, May 10 and its first-ever Hoops for Heart event later in June. The Jump Rope for Heart skipping-focused event will be for students from kindergarten to grade six while the new Hoops for Heart basketball-focused event will involve grade 7 and 8 students. That’s why this kick off assembly had as special guests not only Dawn Montgomery, area coordinator for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, who highlighted the Jump Rope for Heart event, but also Gus Takkale, owner of the new Ottawa
professional basketball team called the Ottawa Skyhawks, who was joined by Merrick Palmer, the team’s technical director and a former professional basketball player. A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School has raised over $260,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation through its Jump Rope for Heart events over the past 17 years. Last year about $9,000 was raised and this year’s goal is $10,000. Heart and Stroke Foundation area coordinator Dawn Montgomery noted that over 100 schools in the area will be participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year. Over $640,000 was raised by Jump Rope for Heart events in the Ottawa area last year. She emphasized the importance of youngsters being physically active, stressing the need for 60 to 90 minutes of exercise every day. She urged the assembled students to eat healthy foods, be physically active and plan to lead a smoke-free life. After having the students run on the spot for ten seconds and then feel their pulse, she noted that exercise helps the blood in the body flow more quickly, cleaning
out the arteries. Ms. Montgomery told the students that it is easy to fundraise for Jump Rope for Heart, pointing them to the jumpropeforheart.ca website. A. Lorne Cassidy’s Jump Rope for Heart event on Friday, May 10 will include not only skipping but also other fun activities like the limbo, a sack race and leap frog. Ottawa Skyhawks owner Gus Takkale and the team’s technical director Merrick Palmer really got things going in the gym when they took over to promote the Hoops for Heart event and basketball in general. Owner Gus Takkale shared with the assembled students his three secrets for success in life: work hard, be respectful and help others. He said that when people help others, they ensure that if and when they need help themselves, there will be others who will give this help. It was technical director Merrick Palmer, a former champion basketball player in both Canada and South Africa, who then took over, playing two half-court games with students selected at random from the assembly. It was
Merrick Palmer first against five older students and then Merrick Palmer against a dozen younger students. And what was up for grabs? Well, if Merrick Palmer lost, he had to do 20 pushups in front of the assembly. And if the five older students lost,
they had to do five pushups each. And for the game against the younger students, jump jacks was the penalty for the loser. The winner was to be determined on who would be the first to score three points – the students or former profession-
al basketball player Merrick Palmer. The older students emerged with a 3-1 win. Merrick Palmer had to do his 20 pushups, right there in front of everyone. See JUMP, page 27

Jump Rope For Heart Continued from page 26
Then, up against the dozen younger students, Merrick Palmer again lost 3-1, scoring his only basket by running to the basketball hoop at the other end of the gym to score on a layup. Merrick then led the whole assembly in doing some jumping jacks. But the assembly was not over. A long skipping rope, stretching nearly across the gym floor, was brought out and A.L.C. teachers were given the opportunity to demonstrate their skipping prowess, much to the glee and cheers of the assembled students, with loud music adding to the exciting atmosphere prevailing in the gym. After the skipping stopped, the music kept playing and students were able to practice their dance moves - arms waving, feet moving, bodies swaying. The assembly then wound up with one last reminder of how easy it is to sign up and fundraise for Jump Rope for Heart. A video made last year and shown on You Tube featuring A.L.C. student Maddie Ferris skipping while wearing a Super man costume was shown, demonstrating how students can make their own videos and upload them to You Tube to help with their fundraising. The Ottawa Skyhawks professional basketball team will begin play in the National Basketball League of Canada this coming November, playing its home games at Scotiabank Place. The team will be playing 40 league games against teams from such cities as Windsor, London and Montreal. The National Basketball League of Canada is a professional league just below the caliber of the National Basketball League (Toronto Raptors, etc.). Players in the league may have overseas professional experience or have played major university basketball or other relevant basketball experience.

War of 1812 Tribute at Goulbourn Museum on June 16 Special to the News
EMC news - Sunday, June 16 is Father’s Day this year, a time when tribute is paid to fathers and their role in families. Sunday, June 16 this year is also going to be War of 1812 Tribute time in Goulbourn, a time when there will be a day of special events commemorating the War of 1812 at the Goulbourn Museum. What a great and unique way to celebrate Father’s Day by attending this War of 1812
Tribute as a family! It will be a step back in time as there will be free horse and buggy rides, crafts and games, historical demonstrations, period re-enactors, an old-fashioned photo booth, a silent auction, a book fair, a barbeque and more, all at the Goulbourn Museum site at 2064 Huntley Road at Flewellyn Road at Stanley’s Corners. It will all be happening on Sunday, June 16 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Goulbourn
Museum at Stanley’s Corners just south of Stittsville. This year’s event will be building on last year’s inaugural War of 1812 commemoration event at the Goulbourn Museum which attracted 450 visitors. Helping make this year’s event possible has been an $8,000 grant to the Goulbourn Museum from the federal government’s 1812 Commemoration Fund to help with expenses related to the event.

‘The Little Mermaid Jr.’ features cast of 36 John Curry
john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Three dozen youngsters from Kanata, Stittsville and Carp are getting the opportunity to experience the world of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid Jr.” thanks to an upcoming Kanata Theatre KT Kids production. The musical, adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production which in turn was a stage version of the earlier 1989 Disney animated film “The Little Mermaid,” is being presented at the Ron Maslin Theatre in Kanata on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. and again on Saturday, June 8 at both 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. Among those in the cast of 36 for this musical is 12 year old Shannon McIlquham of Stittsville who plays the role of Atina, one of the Little Mermaid’s sisters. She is becoming a veteran of KT Kids productions, having appeared in three previous ones, including a major role in the recent “Beauty and the Beast.” She admits that she does not have a lot of lines in this current production but she only sees that as fair since she played such a major role in a
previous KT Kids production. But besides her role as Atina, Shannon is the understudy to Ariel, the leading princess role in the musical, played by 13 year old Abbey Flockton
of Kanata. This means that she has to know all of Ariel’s lines, songs and stage blocking. Shannon says that this is a lot of work but is worth it since, as she says simply, she
enjoys acting, especially with the KT Kids theatre where she finds everyone really welcoming and where she has made some really good friends. Shannon says that she likes

acting because it allows her to be a different person from who she usually is and she gets to experience the fun involved in learning different accents. She explains that as the rehearsals continue, an actor learns more about his or her character and how that character would react to a situation. “They are basically like an alter ego to you,” she says about the character being portrayed on stage. Shannon is involved with “The Little Mermaid Jr.” not only as an actor but also behind the scenes, as she is helping with the box office and subscription renewals. She enjoys this as well as she gets to meet new people and talk with them. She notes that the mermaid costumes are awesome for this play, praising the KT Kids theatre costume designers for their amazing work, always coming up with costumes that best portray the roles of the actors involved. Julia Mercer, 11, of Kanata is in her fourth KT Kids production, admitting to a love of singing and dancing. Her role as the Flounder is her first major role in a KT Kids production and involves her
being in a lot of scenes. But thanks to her mother’s urging, she quickly learned her lines, being the first member of the cast to be able to abandon the book with the lines in it. She loves her Flounder costume, which is yellow with blue patches. She calls it the best costume that she has ever worn, even including her Halloween costumes. Julia is particularly looking forward to singing the song “She’s in Love” in the play, as it not only is a really fun song in her view but also because she is basically the star of the show for this one song. Ten year old Alexis Wormald of Carp, who is involved with her third KT Kids production with this musical, plays the roles of a sea horse and also one of the princesses in this play. She admits that as a sea horse, she has no lines but she still likes the role. “It’s a small role but it’s still fun,” Alexis says. She likes being involved with the KT Kids theatre because of all the cool characters that an actor can be in the productions. See KT KIDS, page 29

KT Kids production in June Continued from page 28
She also likes attending the rehearsals and talking with the friends that she has made in the group. She says that “The Little Mermaid Jr.” has a lot of songs in it and since she likes singing, that’s good. She also feels that it will be a play that everyone will like. Director Andrew Williams, who had a hand in starting the KT Kids theatre group a number of years ago to provide youngsters with the op-
portunity to perform on stage, has seen KT Kids grow over the years, with the current cast involving 36 youngsters. He says that “The Little Mermaid Jr.” is a Disney classic full of singing and dancing, noting that this junior edition does a great job of capturing the best moments in the Disney film, complete with a great evil villain, a heroine and a prince. Mr. Williams says that a big challenge in producing theatre involving children is simply getting all of the
cast members out to the weekly rehearsals due to conflict with other obligations for the youngsters. But he says that when all of the cast does get together, what they do is simply amazing. Mr. Williams particularly likes to see the positive feedback and praise which the young actors receive when in costume, they mingle with the audience following a performance. They hear in one-on-one situations from audience members just what a great job they have done in the play. This gives Mr. Williams lots of satisfaction, just like he gets when he performs himself on stage.

Performing as the mermaid sisters in the musical “The Little Mermaid Jr.” which is being presented by the KT Kids program at the Kanata Theatre on June 7 and 8 are, from left, Grace Hibbert as Aquata; Saylor Frost as Andrina; Genna Sylvain as Arista; Shannon McIlquham as Atina; Rhiannon Henkelmen as Adella; and Caroline Hogan as Allana.
He says that staging a play is a team effort which provides a lot of satisfaction when everyone pulls together. A KT Kids production gives these young actors the opportunity to experience this feeling, Mr. Williams says. The Kanata Theatre KT Kids presents “The Little Mermaid Jr.” at the Ron Maslin Theatre in Kanata on Friday, June 7 at 7 p.m. and on Saturday, June 8 at both 1 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. tickets are only $5 each but those planning to attend should take prompt action as many of the tickets have already bee sold, especially for the Saturday performances. To order tickets, call the Kanata Theatre box office at 613-831-4435. More information is available on the Kanata Theatre website at www.kanatatheatre.com . This production of “The Little Mermaid Jr.” features a number of hit songs from the original Broadway production including “Part of Your World,” “She’s in Love,” and the Oscar winning “Under the Sea.” The play is centered in a magical kingdom fathoms below the sea where a beautiful young mermaid Ariel longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. This means that she will have to defy her father, King Triton and also make a deal with the evil sea witch Ursula. She also has to convince Prince Eric that she is the girl with the enchanting voice. This production and the Disney productions are based on the well known fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen called
“The Little Mermaid” about a young mermaid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human prince. It was first published in 1837. Stittsville actors in “The Little Mermaid Jr.” include Caroline Hogan as Allana, Cassie Harrison as Ursula, Emilie Cote as a princess, Kiara Cote as a sailor, Mackenzie Corson as a princess and Shannon McIlquham as Atina.

Stittsville has its dragons John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Stittsville as a home for dragons? Not possible, you say. Well, think again as Stittsville has become a birthplace for dragons. It’s all happening at The Pottery Playhouse at the Stittsville Shopping Centre where a dragon, suitable for use as a lawn ornament or for placement in a child’s room, is now available. “Who knew we had dragons in Stittsville,” says The Pottery Playhouse owner Debrah Rothenberg, saying that the dragon figure has been cast right at The Pottery Playhouse in Stittsville, making it a Stittsville born dragon. She predicts that this new dragon, which can be painted by the customer and then fired in the kiln at The Pottery Playhouse, will be a very popular piece in the shop. She says that it is quite an eye catcher as it sits there on the shelf, waiting to be selected for painting by a customer. And one of these dragons is being given away in a draw at the Family Fun Day which is happening at the Stittsville Shopping Centre this Saturday, May 4. A donation towards mental health services will enter you in the raffle. The winner will then be able to paint the dragon and have it fired in the kiln, creating a marvelous dragon ornament, either for the lawn
or for a child’s room or anywhere at all. Besides giving away a dragon in a raffle at the Family Fun Day, The Pottery Playhouse will also have small pendants available in return for a donation. These pendants will be able to be painted and taken home or painted and then fired in the kiln for later pickup. They promises to be a fun item to create at this Family Fun Day. The Pottery Playhouse is an avid supporter of this Saturday’s Family Fun Day as the day was going to be a special day for it anyway and now it is just that much more special and active. It had been planning and will still be doing on this Saturday a sign-up day for its summer camp programs. The artists who will be running these summer camps will be on hand to explain about the individual camp programs. So, The Pottery Playhouse is one of the places that you will want to visit on Family Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre this Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. You will get to see and possibly win a Stittsville dragon and you will be able to leave with a self-painted pendant, both in return for a donation to help provide mental health services in the community. And also you will be able to learn about the assortment of summer camp programs which The Pottery Playhouse will be offering this summer. And this is just one of the businesses in-

EMC news - Family Fun Day is here! A Family Fun Day filled with lots of free activities and attractions happens this coming Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Stittsville Shopping Centre at 1300 Stittsville Main Street. There is absolutely no charge for anything, although donations to help support family mental health will be encouraged. The funds raised are going to be donated to Main Street Community Services, one of the services that provides local mental health support. Main Street Community Services provides services for children and youth with special needs and their families. Main Street Community Services is located in part of the former Stittsville Public School (now Frederick Banting Alternate Program school) on Stittsville Main Street in
Stittsville. All of the businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre are participating in this Family Fun Day event in some way, whether it is staging something special or providing a gift basket for one of the many giveaways that will take place throughout the day. Gaia Java Coffee Company, for instance, is engaging Alan Rushforth who will be on hand playing his hand-made street organ with its assortment of musical tunes. And other businesses in the community have also come on board, such as Stittsville Sobeys, Brown’s Your Independent Grocer and McDonald’s. They are providing gift certificates that will be given away or are providing something to enhance the day, such as McDonald’s providing the drinks for the BBQ. Curves Complete at the Stittsville Shopping Centre will be providing a zumba class, giving everyone an opportunity to try out this fast-growing
exercise trend. There will be a BBQ with free hot dogs and drinks (donations to mental health appreciated). There will be a storytime thanks to the folks at the Kumon Centre at the Stittsville Shopping Centre. It’s expected that there will be a clown making the rounds and face painting will be available. And best of all, this will be an opportunity for Stittsville residents and families to get out in the hoped-for spring sunshine and just mingle and chat not only with the merchants of the Stittsville Shopping Centre and their staff members but also with friends and neighbours that perhaps they have not seen for a while over the recent winter. This Family Fun Day in support of family mental health is being held this Saturday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Stittsville Shopping Centre at 1300 Stittsville Main Street. It goes ahead rain or shine but the hope is that sunshine will prevail. This is all happening at the plaza
where Dollarama and Shoppers Drug Mart are located, along with a bevy of smaller, independent businesses like Dandelion Kids consignment shop, Gaia Java Coffee Company shop, First Choice Hair Cutters, Napoli’s Café, The Pottery Playhouse, Curves Complete, Moksha Yoga, Kumon Learning Centre, Deschenes & Poitras Dental Centre, Herbal Magic, Edward Jones Investments and Motion Works Physiotherapy. The plaza is located on the west side of Stittsville Main Street, just south of Carp Road. One of the area’s best known personalities is expected to attend, namely Max Keeping, the former CTV Ottawa news anchor and renowned community supporter. This Family Fun Day in support of family mental health is meant to be a way for the businesses at the Stittsville Shopping Centre at 1300 Stittsville Main Street to give back to the community, staging a fun and free event.
A number of organizations in the mental health field will be providing information and brochures that will be on display this Saturday, free for the taking. First Choice Hair Cutters will be providing head shaves for $10, with the proceeds going to mental health. Herbal Magic will be offering gift baskets and prizes to lucky patrons while Dandelion Kids consignment shop will be offering kids games as well as giving away gift baskets and holding draws. Moksha Yoga will be giving demonstrations and offering demonstration classes of its popular hot yoga. And they will be free! City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri is supportive of the event. ASAP Print Management of Kanata donated 2,000 flyers which were distributed to publicize this Family Fundraiser Fun Day. Melissa Toye Photography will be on hand that day, taking photographs and videoing the activities.

Show-stopping performance by trio John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - They have received coaching from Katarina Henryson, a member of the internationally renowned a cappella singing ensemble “The Real Group.” And they sing with the Canterbury High School Chamber Chorus and Vocum ensemble which earned gold ratings in the recent Kiwanis Music Festival. So you just knew that this trio of Canterbury High School grade 12 vocal students, calling themselves “KM2,” would be show-stoppers at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville last Friday. And they didn’t disappoint, performing some custom arrangements and even songs on which they had received coaching from The Real Group’s Katarina Henryson, communicating via Skype, with the three girls in Stittsville and Katarina Henryson over in Sweden. This long distance relationship will be replaced by a face-to-face meeting when the three students in “KM2” get to meet Katarina Henryson in person when they attend a workshop held by The Real Group on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 8, just before The Real Group’s first ever concert appearance that evening at the new Algonquin College theatre. At their Gaia Java coffee shop performance, the “KM2” girls sang a repertoire that ranged from the quirky “Lollipop,” complete with appropriate pop sounds, to “Brazil,” a Portuguese song translated into English, to a cute little four-chord song on which “KM2” member Keli Jay played the ukulele and the group was

In the second part of their performance after the intermission at this Friday music evening, the “KM2” trio’s offerings ranged from a French song to a Swedish pop song. The group’s use of glasses as little drums was engaging, especially with the associated rhythmic and coordinated clapping. The group’s last song, “Winter Song,” which was arranged by group member Keli Jay, was a song on which Katarina Henryson of “The Real Group” have given them instruction and pointers. “The Real Group” will be presenting its firstever concert in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 8 at the new theatre at Algonquin College. But the group is far from unknown in Ottawa music circles. A number of Ottawa area high school choirs include some arrangements and compositions by “The Real Group” in their repertoire. Its music is considered upbeat and original as well as challenging. In the concert, “The Real Group” will be performing from its repertoire that is both contemporary and eclectic. The group fuses vocal jazz with ethnic and folk music from around the world, making for a witty, sophisticated and cool musical presentation.

EMC news - OC Transpo has the go-ahead to roll out Presto smart cards for fare payment on July 1. The cards won’t be compatible with the Presto system in the GTA – yet – and transit commissioners were concerned about the delay in updating the cards’ cash balance online, but those worries weren’t enough for the commission to put the brakes on the smart card fare system. Starting May 18, OC Transpo will begin to distribute 184,000 of the remaining 200,000 free Presto cards the city initially planned to give out last year. The launch was plagued with delays and the past year has been “difficult, complex and (a) resource intensive project,” but the system is now ready to go, OC Transpo general manager John Manconi told the transit commission on April 17. As with any large, technical system, there will be glitches, Manconi said. But there are no system-wide issues that would cause concern, he added. Beyond technical problems there are other nagging issues that bothered transit commissioners. One issue is the 24- to 48-hour delay between when customers top up the cash balance on their cards and when they have access to use that money on a bus. A delay is undesirable, commissioners agreed, but if it’s unavoidable for technical reasons, Metrolinx should at least try to ensure the delay is consistent. A range causes confusion, said new commissioner Mark Johnson. “It would be good to have a defined time period so as to avoid customer confusion,” Johnson said. Manconi said he and OC Transpo will come back at some time in the future with a better solution.
Ottawa Presto cardholders won’t yet be able to tap their cards on Presto readers in Toronto or Hamilton. There is no date on when that might Open Tuesday-Saturday by appointment happen. The GTA system will be upgraded Hairstylist • Colour Technician • Highlighting before the end of the year and then Foils • Perms • Facial Waxing • Barbering Metrolinx will be making the deci105 Vancourtland St S. sion about when to upgrade Ottawa to that same system to ensure all cards work in both regions. A Presto replacement for paper tickets is not being addressed right now. For Para Transpo, the city will be spending $3 million to find an interim technological solution to bridge the gap between OC Transpo passes and the types of fare payments that are accepted on Para Transpo. Cards will be available in a number of ways. During the test period, demand for cards was highest through the website, www.prestocard.ca, and that’s the first spot most riders will be able to get one on May 18. Starting May 27, riders will be able to pick up a card at city client service centres, OC Transpo sales and information centres, as well as Transitway stations on a rotating schedules. Select library branches across the city will also begin distributing the cards starting June 3. OC Transpo will have Presto outreach targeted at park-and-ride pass holders on May 17 and 18.

April 29th 2013 FIRE HYDRANT TESTING In keeping with the City’s multi-year preventive maintenance program, almost 9,000 fire hydrants will be tested under full flow conditions between May and October. This routine maintenance program is necessary to ensure that our fire hydrants meet the regulatory requirements and the service expectations of both Fire Services and residents. Fire hydrant testing has begun in the Stittsville community. During this time you may notice City vehicles that read “Fire hydrants – testing for your safety” the duration of the program. Crews will have flyers available to distribute to residents who inquire about the work being carried out. For more information please visit ottawa.ca/ firehydrants. CITY-WIDE SPRING BURN BAN IN EFFECT I would like to inform residents that the Ottawa Fire Services is placing a city-wide burn ban into effect immediately to prevent the rapid spread of fire due to grass and brush fires. This ban will remain in place until conditions improve and the green grass starts to show through dead tall grass. This winter left more debris (fallen tree branches, leaves, etc.) on the ground than in previous years, which increases the risk of fire spread. All open air fires are prohibited during a fire ban even for those properties that have a burn permit. There will be zero tolerance enforcement during the open air burning ban. Furthermore, carelessly discarded cigarettes continue to be a major cause of grass fires during these dry periods. Smokers are reminded to please use care when butting out.
ONTARIO RENOVATES PROGRAM Please be advised that applications to the Ontario Renovates Program are now available. The program provides grants and forgivable loans to low income seniors who own their home and households where one or more persons with disabilities requires home repairs and/ or accessibility modifications to support independent living. The program is also available to qualifying landlords to modify their existing units or buildings to make them more accessible for tenants who are seniors, or for persons with disabilities. Applications with prepaid envelopes have been made available at 100 Constellation Drive, 8th Floor West (near Baseline Rd. and Woodroffe Ave.), as well as at the City’s Client Services Centre’s. For more information about the Ontario Renovates Program or to download an application form, please visit http://ottawa.ca/en/ ontario-renovates-program.

On September 16th, 1870, the first steam train on the new track laid by the Canadian Central Railway passed through the area. The Brockville and Ottawa Railway which ended at Carleton Place, had been extended eastward to Ottawa, passing about a mile south of Old Stittsville through farmland and what had been dense bush before the fire. A freight yard and small passenger station were built in LeBreton flats area of Ottawa and it was from there that the first passenger train set out through Stittsville onto Carleton Place. *Information regarding the “Did you know…” story was taken from the book Stittsville a Sense of Place by Barbara Bottriell, 1998

Doubleheader dunking in race John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - Jayne Glennon and her seven year old son Robert Glennon had a doubleheader dunking at the Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race on Saturday, April 20 this year. She not only fell out of her craft and into the waist deep water of the Jock River at the starting line, something from which she recovered by trudging through the river water while still holding onto the kayak in which Robert remained sitting, still dry. They did get going again from the
starting, heading downstream with one of the last starting groups in the race. But this was only part of her unforgettable race. Ten minutes into the race, both she and Robert fell in to the Jock River. Jayne did not want to risk taking her already cold son back on the water and she herself did not have any more dry clothing. So the pair waited for the trailing sweepers in the race. The sweepers looked after the cold and wet pair, giving them tea, treats, dry clothes for Jayne and also blankets to keep warm until a motor boat could pick them up. The motor boat took them to a
house where the St. John’s Ambulance personnel were waiting. At this house, Robert was given a change of cloths and a cup of hot chocolate before they proceeded on. They even ended up with a ride to their home in an ambulance. Now, talk about an unforgettable race, even if they did not finish. They faced the worst scenario, capsizing (for Jayne, not once but twice), and lived to tell about it, meeting some wonderful rescuers on the way. Indeed, the experience has engendered a new saying around the Glennon house: “You’re not cold unless you are Jock River cold.”
Two break one hour mark John Curry

EMC news - The late spring fast flowing Jock River enabled two canoes to break the elusive one hour barrier in this year’s 12.6 kilometer long Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race that ended at Jock River Park in Richmond.

minute after the one hour time. The pair of Matthew Raymond and Bruce Raymond, both of Ottawa, competing in the C2 Open class, crossed the finish line in a blistering time of 58 minutes and 39 seconds, tops for the day. They finished less than two minutes in front of the C2 Open class pair of Ian Mockett of Stittsville and Gaetan Plourde of Perth who clocked in at one min-
ute, 27 seconds, just missing breaking the one hour barrier. But Bruce and Matthew Raymond were not the only ones to break the one hour barrier on the course this year. The pair of Harold Walker of Ottawa and Pierre Lavictoire of Gatineau, in the 17’ Open class, zoomed down the river in a time of 59 minutes, 10 seconds – second best for the day. Also recording speedy
times, near the one hour mark, in the race was the team of Bonnie Pankiw of Chelsea and Christoph Weber, also in the 17’ Open class, who just missed the one hour mark by one minute and 13 seconds. And there was a speedy kayak, with Robert Ross of Kingston completing the course in a time of one hour, one minute and 8 seconds. See UPPER, page 35

This year’s race attracted a total of ten paddlers who were born in 1948 or earlier, all qualifying for the “Greybeard Award.” Winner of this
award as the oldest paddler in the 2013 Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race was Mike Scott who competed in the 17’ Open class with Ian Mortimer of Ottawa as his partner. The Upper Jock River Canoe/Kayak Race is staged thanks to the efforts of a group of volunteers. The course preparation was done by Collin and Richard Hiley while registration was handled by Dave and Lynne Pearen and Helene Rivest. Timers for this year’s race were Al Eaton, Ron Wallis and Ken Mohr. Robyn Hiley served as the “runner” for these timers. Lisa Hiley looked after the data processing for the race. The rescue boat was manned by Richard Hiley and Drew Reynolds while the sweep canoes were guided by Dot Bonenfant and three other Ottawa RA Canoe Club members. St. John’s Ambulance personnel were on duty for the race. Shuttle drivers taking entrants from the finish line back to their vehicles at the starting line along Munster Road west of Richmond were Joanne Braaksma, Glen Huff, Bryan Hodge and Pam Hiley. Joe DuVall served as the official starter and Collin Hiley looked after putting up and taking down the starting line rope. Both also performed other volunteer duties as well.

Celebrating Earth Day by cleaning up grounds Special to the News
EMC news - Richmond Cooperative Nursery School youngsters celebrated Earth Day on Monday, April 22 by looking after their own little part of the earth. They all pitched
in and helped clean up the grounds around their school which is located at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church hall in Richmond. Armed with garbage bags and protecting their hands with gloves,
the youngsters, aged three and four, spent the morning cleaning up litter and debris that had accumulated in the church yard and their adjacent playground over the winter. Learning through play is one of the goals of the Richmond Coopera-

tive Nursery School. And so on this early spring morning, the Nursery School youngsters learned that by working together and tackling one piece at a time, the earth can be a cleaner and healthier place for everyone.
The earth is a big place but taking local action can make a difference. And this is what the youngsters of the Richmond Cooperative Nursery School did with their yard clean up for Earth Day 2013 – they made a difference.

Well water testing blitz Special to the News
EMC news - The semi-annual well water testing blitz is coming up in Goulbourn. Well water samples can be dropped off at one of four drop-off locations on specific days and at specific times. These well water samples will then be tested with the results provided to the homeowner. This well water testing blitz in Goulbourn is happening on Monday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 14. On Monday, May 13, well water samples can be dropped off at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) between 8
a.m. and 12 noon. On Tuesday, May 14, well water samples can be dropped off at any of three locations in Goulbourn: the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; the Ashton General Store in Ashton between 5:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.; and Mac’s in Munster from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The well water samples must be dropped off in the appropriate sample bottles. Empty sample bottles for use can be picked up prior to the blitz days at any of the drop-off locations as well as at King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond.
Blood donor clinic in Richmond Special to the News
EMC news – There’s a community blood donor clinic coming up in Richmond later this month. Canadian Blood Services is holding a blood donor clinic on Thursday, May 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond. To book an appointment to give blood at this clinic, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-8882DONATE (1-888-236-6283). All blood donations at community blood donor clinics
held by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need
as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Canadian Blood Services, which organizes these community blood donor clinics, is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the blood supply in all provinces and territories in Canada except for Quebec. A separate organization, Hema-Quebec, operates in the province of Quebec. Canadian Blood Services organizes more than 22,000 community blood donor clinics across Canada each year. It collects about 850,000 units of blood annually.

$1.5 million in work at St. Philip School Special to the News
EMC news - Work worth more than $1.5 million will be undertaken at St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond to prepare for the introduction of a Full Day Kindergarten program this September. The work, scheduled to becompleted before the end of August, also involves other renovation work at the school.
Pranger-DeBruyn Construction Ltd. has been awarded the contract to do the work by the Ottawa Catholic Catholic School Board. The PrangerDeBruyn firm submitted the lowest of seven bids for the work, coming in almost $6,000 less than the second place bid. The bids submitted for the work ranged from PrangerDeBruyn’s low bid of $1,573,030 to
the highest bid of $1,705,300. The Pranger-DeBruyn firm had worked for the Ottawa Catholic School Board previously including construction of St. Andrew Catholic School in Nepean, a five-room addition at St. Michael Catholic School at Corkery, library additions at Holy Cross Catholic School in Ottawa and St. Monica Catholic School in Nepean and renovations at St. Michael Catholic School in Ottawa.
This is one of several summer construction projects that are being undertaken by the Ottawa Catholic School Board to prepare for the introduction of Full Day Kindergarten programs at certain schools, including associated renovation works. Besides St. Philip Catholic School in Richmond, others schools include Georges Vanier Catholic School in Kanata, St. Leonard Catholic School in Manotick, Corpus Christi Catholic
School in Ottawa, St. Rita Catholic School in Nepean and St. George Catholic School and McMaster Catholic School, both in Ottawa. These projects are being funded by the Ottawa Catholic School Board from a combination of Ontario Ministry of Education Full Day Kindergarten allocations, the Board’s own Proceeds of Disposition reserves and the Board’s Facilities Renewal funding from the province.

Hat day at ‘Merrily We Go’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com
EMC news - “H” was the letter of the week for youngsters at the “Merrily We Go” Preschool in Stittsville last week. That’s because “H” was the theme letter for the week, with all of the activities tied to that particular letter. This happens every week at the “Merrily We Go” Preschool, with a different letter of the alphabet being the weekly theme for the classes held there each week. So, in keeping with the “H” theme for the week, last Friday was “hat day” at “Merrily We Go” and the youngsters – and also teachers – sure got in the mood. So, you saw, for instance, a pirate hat, a cowboy hat, a balloon hat, a worker’s hard hat, an elephant hat, a shark hat, a clown hat wore by owner and teacher Jayne Tanner and a feather hat worn by teacher Salena Richard. Another day in the week saw a crazy hair day – again, that “H” letter. And even the homework which the youngsters have takes on the theme. What, you ask, preschool youngsters get homework? This is done for several reasons. Many of the youngsters have older siblings who go to school and so they like to have their own homework to do when their siblings do their homework. In addition, having a homework task gives parents an opportunity to work with their child and be part of their preschool learning. And, as another plus, receiving homework at this stage gets youngsters to like doing homework, something that can be a great asset in later schooling. But the homework does follow the theme
for the week. So, with “H” as the theme letter, the homework could include a request that the child learn his or her home address. There’s that “H” showing up again. Every class usually begins with circle time where the youngsters have the opportunity to tell about their previous homework project. The “Merrily We Go” Preschool, although strictly non-denominational, operates in premises at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. It offers both morning and afternoon classes for youngsters from 2 ½ years old to 4 years old. All of the classes are staffed with qualified Early Childhood Educator teachers and the preschool is licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Education. All classes are limited to 12 youngsters. With two teachers and a volunteer duty parent at every class, this provides a one to four ratio between adults and children, an ideal situation for having a caring learning environment. “Merrily We Go” Preschool will not change its limit on the number of youngsters in a class. It does have the option, though, that with sufficient enrolment, it will add more classes to its weekly schedule. “Merrily We Go” Preschool is having an open house on Saturday, May 11 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the school’s premises at St. Thomas Anglican Church. This will give any parents considering the preschool for a child an opportunity to view the facility and to chat with the teachers about the programs offered. Information about registration for the upcoming 2013-2014 year will be available. Registration is now underway and will continue
until the classes are full. In addition, the “Merrily We Go” Preschool will have information about its programs at the Family Fun Day that is being held at the Stittsville Shopping Centre at 1300 Stittsville Main
Street this coming Saturday, May 4. More information about the “Merrily We Go” Preschool and its programs can be obtained by calling 613-836-4320 or by going to its website at www.merrilywego.vpweb.ca .

Two new Directors for Museum Board Special to the News
EMC news - Complying with the requirements of the new Canada Not-For-Profit Corporations Act saw the passage of 16 separate motions at last Saturday’s annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Museum. These motions all amended the Goulbourn Museum’s bylaws to comply with the requirements of this new legis-
lation which has already been approved and comes into full effect in Oct. 2014. Most of the motions passed with no discussion while a couple did generate some slight questioning. Those at the annual general meeting also approved articles of continuance for the Goulbourn Museum, another requirement for the new Canada Not-For-Profit Corporations
Act. The annual general meeting also saw two new Directors join the Museum’s Board of Directors, filling two of three vacancies on the eight member Board brought about by the retirement of three longtime Directors. Retiring from the Board are Hilda Moore, who was serving as the Board chair; Virginia Notley, who has been the
Board treasurer; and Sheila Cain-Sample, who has been the Board’s secretary. Newly elected to the Board are Frank Argue and Glendon Moore. Phil Sweetnam, who has been serving on the Board of Directors, was re-elected. The Board of Directors now has seven members, one less than the maximum number permitted. Others on the
Board of Directors at present are Linda Preston, Keith Hobbs, Kurt Johnson and John Curry. The annual general meeting of the Goulbourn Museum was held in the basement hall at St. Paul’s United Church in Richmond, preceded by a lunch served by church members. The contributions of the three retiring Board members
SUE WOODFORD/GOULBOURN MUSEUM
Members of the Board of Directors for the coming year for the Goulbourn Museum are, from left, Frank Argue, John Curry, Kurt Johnson, Linda Preston, Glendon Moore, Keith Hobbs and Phil Sweetnam.
– Hilda Moore, Virginia Notley and Sheila Cain-Sample – were all recognized at the meeting. It was also noted that the Goulbourn Museum had enjoyed a record number of visitors in 2012. Other highlights of the past year included the preparation of an emergency preparedness plan for the Museum and the completion of a ten year strategic plan. It was noted that volunteers had contributed 2,141 hours to the Goulbourn Museum in 2012. Plans for the coming year include a War of 1812 commemoration event on Sunday, June 16, construction of a toll booth like those which could be found along roads in pioneer times, publication of a third volume of “Voices from Goulbourn’s Past,” and a fundraising dinner later in the year. The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville. T he Goulbourn Museum’s website can be found at www. goulbournmuseum.ca and the Museum’s phone number is 613-831-2393.

Walking tour for International Women’s Club Special to the News
EMC news - You may have taken a quick “double take” if driving along Stittsville Main Street in the downtown core area on Wednesday, April 24. That’s because there on the sidewalk were two ladies who looked as if they had just stepped out of the early 1900’s, leading a group of ladies. It all was a pilot project of an Historical Walking Tour of Stittsville initiative that has been developed by the Goulbourn Museum. And there on a chilly Wednesday, April 24, leading a group from the International Women’s Club were Sarah Rathwell and Tracey Donaldson from the Goulbourn Museum, dressed in period costume and portraying ladies from Stittsville’s earlier days. The two costumed ladies from the Museum told the group of ladies about key heritage buildings and historical tidbits about downtown Stittsville from the early 1900’s. On hand for this tour were members of the International Women’s Club. This is a group comprised of Canadian women (wives of former military and foreign service workers) and women posted to Ottawa from abroad. The Canadians help these women posted to Ottawa and act as a support group during their stays in the nation’s capital. The International Women’s Club hosts a number of monthly activities including a monthly “Walk and Talk” which fit in nicely with the concept of an historical walking tour of Stittsville. These Historical Walking Tours of Stittsville are being officially launched this summer by the SUE WOODFORD/GOULBOURN MUSEUM Goulbourn Museum. Groups interested in experiencing such an historical walking tour should Sarah Rathwell, centre, left, and Tracey Donaldson, centre, right, both from the Goulbourn Museum and both dressed in period contact the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831- costume, lead an historical walking tour of downtown Stittsville for members of the International Women’s Club on Wednesday, April 24. 2393.

WOSC forms partnership with Twin Elm Rugby Park Special to the News
EMC sports - West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) players will now be a familiar sight at the Twin Elm Rugby Park. Not because they will be playing rugby there but because it will now be a soccer venue as well thanks to a new partnership between
the WOSC and the Twin Elm Rugby Park (TERP). The Twin Elm Rugby Park, on Twin Elm Road near Richmond, features five full sized fields, changing rooms, two lounges, a bar and a spectator grandstand, as well as parking facilities.
WOSC president Brian Mason calls the Twin Elm Rugby Park a facility that is “second to none in Eastern Ontario.” “Having access to this facility will be hugely beneficial for our entire WOSC Warrior community, as our Club continues to thrive,” Mr. Mason

says. WOSC is the largest community soccer club in the Ottawa area. The Twin Elm Rugby Park views the new partnership as a way of preserving the excellence and sustainability of the facility which is considered a landmark outdoor sports site. WOSC chief executive officer Bjorn Osieck is excited about this new partnership. “It will open up a wide array of opportunities including hosting recreational tournaments and sessions for our vibrant youth recreational divisions, while also providing our adult teams with a great environment, where quality on-field and enjoyable off-field experiences are a given.” The Twin Elm Rugby Park may become a site for use by soccer’s new Ontario Player Development League which is slated to become reality in 2014. The Twin Elm Rugby Park includes five full-size playing fields in-
cluding a championship field with an electronic scoreboard and potential seating for 2,700 fans. This Twin Elm facility is owned by and home to four local rugby football clubs: The Bytown Blues Rugby Football Club, the Ottawa Irish Rugby Club, the Ottawa Indians Rugby Football Club and the Ottawa Beavers and Banshees Rugby Football Club. The West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) was founded in 2010 as a result of the merger of several community soccer clubs in the west end of Ottawa. It has now grown to be the largest soccer club in the Ottawa area. It delivers a full suite of soccer programs from the youngest children to adults. The West Ottawa Soccer Club (WOSC) offers a variety of league and player development programs and is considered a leader in long term player development.

Farmers market coming to Creekside Gardens EMC news - A farmers market is happening in Richmond this year. It all begins at Creekside Gardens at the corner of Ottawa Street and Eagleson Road on Sunday, May 12 and will continue every Sunday through to Sunday, Dec. 1. This farmers market is meant to give local crafters and vendors an opportunity to show off and sell their merchandise. “There are so many people in Ottawa who have amazing talents but they don’t have the means to show people,” says Leigh-Anne Aris, manager of the greenhouse and gift shop at Creekside Gardens. Vendors will set up their stands under the veranda of the main Creekside Gardens building during the summer months. Once it gets colder in the fall and the number of plants in the main greenhouse dwindles, the vendors of the farmers market will be able to move inside. The gift shop is also a unique attraction at Creekside
Gardens. The creations of local artists and entrepreneurs from the community are sold in the shop when possible. “If our products can’t be local, we find it in Ontario,” says Leigh-Anne Aris. “If we can’t find it in Ontario, we buy within Canada.” “We have great stuff here in Canada and we don’t have to go all over the world to find it,” she says. Creekside Gardens also offers workshops year round, so that even after the planting season is over, Creekside Gardens remains busy running painting classes, cooking classes and even birthday parties for youngsters. “We can bring in an art teacher and they can play with clay or paint and they get to see a sneak peek of a greenhouse at the same time,” Leigh-Anne Aris says about these children’s birthday parties which are hosted at Creekside Gardens. But besides being home to a farmers market, gift shop and workshops, Creekside Gardens is a premier garden centre with over 30,000 square feet of greenhouse
space, filled with all sorts of plants, flowers and vegetables – in fact, just about everything needed for a great garden or attractive landscaping.
Indeed, with the presence of the gift shop and the upcoming farmers market, Creekside Gardens is a destination where you can find not only decora-
tions for your home but also what you need for all your gardening needs. Creekside Gardens, which is at the site of the former
Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens, can be contacted at 613-8385959 or check out the website at http://creeksidegardensottawa.com/ .

Blackboard cleaning leads to outburst from Mary Cook’s Memories Two Mile Herman, outhouse for Marguirite MARY COOK
“There’s goin’ to be heck to pay,” Emerson said at recess that day when the warm spring weather had finally arrived and the entire school was out in the schoolyard -- even Miss Crosby. Emerson went on to explain: “Miss Crosby told Two Mile Herman it was his turn to clean off the blackboards after school. And when I went back in the school to get the ball glove out of the cloak room, there was Marguirite wiping the blackboards like a maniac. The chalk dust was flying everywhere. I tell you Miss Crosby won’t be happy and Two Mile Herman will just about kill Marguirite.” Back then it was a privilege to be asked to do any of the cleaning necessary to keep the school as neat and tidy as possible. Miss Crosby had to be careful not to give the privilege to the same person too often or the rest of us would be mad. Whatever job we were given, we did it happily and even a bit smugly. It was an honour and one not to be taken lightly. There was no such thing as a school caretaker back then. We scrubbed the floors once a month, took ashes out of the stove, washed
the windows and one of us, for a whole week, had the job of emptying the big green tin waste basket at the end of each day. One of the jobs nobody wanted was one assigned on the last school day of every month. Because it was a detested job, it always went to a boy from Senior Fourth. He would carry the pail of lime out of the cupboard at the back of the school, carry it to the outhouse and shovel in a heaping dose. Inside the outhouse there was a tin can of lime which we were supposed to use when we went to the bathroom for serious business, but I was pretty sure back then that very few pupils bothered. And every morning, just after singing God Save the King, Miss Crosby would announce the name of the person who would be given the privilege of cleaning off the blackboards and that day, the job fell to Two Mile Herman. Thinking she was going to get on the good side of Miss Crosby, Marguirite sneaked back into the school during afternoon recess and stole the job away from Two Mile Herman right out from under his nose.
Friendship Club happenings Special to the News
EMC news – Thanks to everyone who attended the Friendship Club luncheon on Wednesday, April 24. The next luncheon will be held on
Wednesday, May 29 at noon at the Glen Mar Golf and Country Club on Fernbank Road west of Stittsville. Entertainment at this luncheon will be provided by Fordie.
Well, when Miss Crosby rang the bell and we marched back in, there was Marguirite beaming ear-to-ear with the blackboards rubbed clear. What she hadn’t done, which was always part of the job, was to take the brushes outside and pound them together to get rid of the chalk dust. To say Two Mile Herman was roary-eyed mad was an understatement. “That was my job, you dirty little Protestant,” he roared -- Two Mile Herman was Catholic. Sixteen pairs of eyes darted (there were 18 of us at the Northcote School) from Miss Crosby, who wouldn’t tolerate for a second an outburst like she just heard from Two Mile Herman, then to Marguirite, then back to Herman. I was sure he would get a taste of the leather strap which hung on a cup hook on the side of the teacher’s desk. And Marguirite, sitting so smug you just wanted to slap her, was beaming. Well, it didn’t take the rest of the day for Miss Crosby to settle the issue. She didn’t say a word to Two Mile Herman. Not a single word. Her face was turning beet red and she marched to the front of the room, took the brushes off
To reserve a place at this May 29 luncheon, please phone Gloria at 613-831-8819 or Rosemary at 613836-6354 by Friday, May 24. To join the Friendship Club, please contact Lorraine at 613-599-3297. Everyone is welcome. Friendship Club activities at the
the ledges -- the ledge ran the full length of the blackboard at the front of the school and all down the south side, so there were six brushes in all -- and marched right down to Marguirite’s desk. “Young lady, if you are so anxious to work, you can take these outside and get rid of the chalk dust and when you are finished, you can go to the cloak room and get the pail of lime and go to the outhouse. You know what has to be done.” Marguirite was livid. Lime in the outhouse -- that was a boy’s job! But there was no negotiating with a teacher back in those days. Her command was the law. It took a few minutes for the rest of the school to settle down, but we could hear Marguirite slapping the brushes together outside. We could also hear her crying and I was pretty sure I could hear her stamping her feet, which she was prone to doing when upset. The last we heard was the scraping of the lime pail going down the cement steps on its way to the outhouse.

Failing to Plan is
Cravings
Planning to Fail
We all have been known to reach for that sugary treat once in a while, but what if you can’t seem to get enough? One of the most common causes for sugar cravings is linked to a hormone imbalance. As a result your mood and energy get low. To help, your body simply looks for quick fuel and the happy hormone serotonin. So what can you do? Prevention is the key. Start your day off right by exercising to increase serotonin. Then have a whole grain breakfast which helps to balance your blood sugar. Next, include cruciferous high fibre veggies like kale which helps your hormones. For all of your meals, work on including protein and healthy fats from foods like walnuts, which help tell your body you are full. Lastly, sprinkle spices like cinnamon, coriander and saffron, to any of your creations to kick your cravings to the curb even more!

Born in late 2008. A handsome friendly boy which is obvious on the photo but he is also gentle, happy and playful... He enjoys your company while playing... When he is all played out he enjoys a little nap in a sunny spot. He is friendly towards other cats and some are his best buddies or girl friends. He will fit in a new family very easily all you have to do is let him know that he is loved and your home is home now where he can settle in and be there forever. If you meet him you will like him, we are sure of that. For adopting this or any other cat contact GWEN at 613-258-2622.

Australia night at the movies Surrounding a poster for the Australian film “The Sapphires” at the Empire Theatre at Kanata Centrum in Kanata on Thursday evening, April 25, the last in the four-movie International Film Series presented by the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville, are, from left, Rotary Club member Valerie Wright, who was the originator of the idea for the Club to host an International Film Series; Rotary Club members Steve Hunter and Wes Zacharuk; Rotary Club president Carolyn Clark; and Lucas Robson, Third Secretary at the Australian High Commission in Ottawa who was in attendance for the showing of this film. “The Sapphires” is an Australian musical comedy about an aboriginal female musical group that entertained American troops during the Vietnam war.
Human trafficking film Special to the News
EMC news - Human trafficking – the trade in human beings – is second only to drug trafficking as the most profitable illegal industry in the world. This trade in human beings could be for sexual purposes, for forced labour or for the extraction of organs. But what is most shocking is that human trafficking is happening right here in the Ottawa area. Don’t believe it? Well, then plan to attend the showing of a documentary film about this problem and how those who are victimized by human trafficking can be helped. The film will be shown free of charge on Wednesday, May 15 at the Holy Spirit parish hall on Shea Road in Stittsville, hosted by the Catholic Women’s League of the parish.
FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE
The film is being shown at Holy Spirit parish hall thanks to Dianne Van Der Putten of CHRI Christian radio. Entitled “Nefarious: Merchant of Souls,” the documentary will shed light on the reality of human trafficking in the world today. Following the showing of this documentary film about human trafficking, there will be a panel discussion to consider concrete ways in which to remedy and help the situation. The discussion period will provide an opportunity for people to become involved in combating this activity. Everyone in the community is urged to attend.

EMC news - There’s 26 letters in the alphabet. And each letter is a symbol that stands for a sound or sounds. There’s a myriad of them as you go through the whole alphabet. And so a concert entitled “Alphabet Soup” featuring songs, one for each letter of the alphabet from A to Z, is going to have a similar myriad of sounds, just like the alphabet itself. That’s why the annual spring concert presented by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its junior choir companion the JJ’s entitled “Alphabet Soup” is going to be a wonderfully entertaining evening – there’s going to be lots of variety and no doubt some very interesting songs. Indeed, are there even songs appropriate for every letter of the alphabet? Obviously there are and
the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the JJ’s will be singing their way through the alphabet at this concert. The concert is being held this Saturday, May 4 at 7:30 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church at the corner of Abbeyhill Drive and Old Colony Road in the Glen Cairn section of Kanata, accessible either from Hazeldean Road via Castlefrank Road or from Eagleson Road via Abbeyhill Road itself. Tickets for the concert are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors. There is a family rate of $35 for a family of four with additional child being admitted for $5 each. For tickets or more information, please call 613838-6078 or 613-825-3357.

Proposed subdivision includes 581 homes Continued from page 1
Lot widths for single detached homes will range from 11.58 metres to 13.75 metres with the lot widths for the semi-detached units measuring 7.5 metres. Single family homes will be located mainly along the western edge of the property in closest proximity to the existing residential development as well as in the northern portion of the site, with semi-detached housing closer to the Fernbank Road and to the north-south collector road which will go along the eastern boundary of the site. This collector road will provide the sole vehicle access from the subdivision onto Fernbank Road. The other external road connection from the site is an eastward extension of the existing Samuel Mann Avenue. Indeed, it is this road access to and from the proposed subdivision that has raised concerns for the Stittsville Village Association. There is a concern that vehicles entering and exiting the new subdivision via Samuel Mann Avenue will end up using residential streets like Caribou and Basswood Avenue and Orville Street to get to Stittsville Main Street. There is going to be a public meeting held where the proposed plan of subdivision will be presented. Besides the plan of subdivision, the zoning on the property has to be changed from its existing rural zoning to an urban residential zoning. The property, though, was included within the Fernbank Community Design Plan as a site for residential development. Site density as proposed will be 29.7 units per net hectare. This density is slightly over the target of 26 to 28 units per net hectare established for low density land use in the Fernbank CDP. The proposed subdivision has an 0.85 hectare neighbourhood park located in the centre of the subdivision, with street frontage on all sides. The park is located where the Samuel Mann Avenue extension enters the subdivision. Both a tree conservation report and an environmental impact statement have been undertaken as part of the development process. The site is considered a combination of coniferous forests, plantations, meadows and
thickets. There are no significant “valleylands” or significant woodlands identified on the site. The endangered loggerhead shrike and threatened Blanding’s turtle and bobolink were identified by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources as potential species at risk in this area. Several species of concern were also noted including milksnake, ram’s-head lady slipper, snapping turtle and eastern ribbonsnake. None of these species, however, were identified on the property. Three butternut trees have been identified on the site. They will be assessed this year. It is believed, based on observations of canker, that only one of these butternut trees will be assessed as healthy. Compensation measures will be developed for any healthy butternuts harmed or removed as a result of development, all done in consultation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Trees to be rtained along the six metre wide corridor along the west edge of the site are dominated by intermediate aged white cedar with some white spruce and eastern hemlock. Trees to be retained it he park include white cedar and white spruce in good condition as well as smaller balsam fir, white birch, largetoothed aspen, balsam poplar, trembling aspen, white birch and white elm. A regionally rare plant, narrow-leaved vervain, has been observed in the cultural meadows adjacent to the south cedar forest on the site. The species is considered to transplant well and seeds for such transplantation were collected in 2012. Protection of the natural environment area lands to the north of the site is being emphasized with a five metre setback to be free of any major grade raises or excavations. A sturdy fence is to be installed prior to any site alterations. This proposed subdivision is initially planned to be considered by Ottawa city council’s planning committee on June 25. There is no indication of when actual construction might occur on the site. For more information about the proposed subdivision and zoning bylaw amendment, please contact city of Ottawa planner Louise SweetLindsay at louise.sweet-lindsay@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2424, ext. 27586.
