Saidat delivers message at Sacred Heart Continued from page 1

She reminded the students to eat a healthy breakfast every day, saying that a person needs to care about himself or herself in this way. The more that you say good things about yourself, the more confidence you will have to face the tough events in life, she said, sharing with the students some of the struggles that she had in her school life. Inside you have to be your own best friend, Saidat said, in her presentation which saw her sprinkle song and dance throughout her message. She led the students through a hip hop dance, featuring numerous moves. Saidat also left the stage of the school’s performing arts theatre several times to go down among the student audience, always urging the students to get involved and reminding them that there are people in their lives like their teachers who care about them. But this has to be augmented by a person feeling good about themselves as well. “I want you to care about yourself,” she told the students. Believe in yourself and each other

and give back to your world, she urged the students. Her message revolved around the premise that when a person learns to care about himself or herself and others, then you will be able to share your gifts and talents with the world and will be able to give back to the world with confidence. Saidat, who lives in London, ON, has delivered her music movement and motivation program to thousands over the past decade. She has travelled across North America, visiting over 1,100 schools and speaking to over 400,000 students. This could take the form of full day assemblies or hip hop workshops or specific programs like the “How To Survive School” program delivered at Sacred Heart on Thursday, April 30. Saidat uses her rap, hop hop dance and dramatic presentation to deliver her message that one person can make a difference and that working with others can change the world. She teaches students about their inner strength and how they can conquer any problems that come their way.

$1,114.35 donated to CHEO Stittsville Public School has donated $1,114.35 to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern

assembly at the school on Tuesday, Ontario (CHEO). The funds were formally presented to CHEO April 28. The funds were raised at the Foundation representative Kara Taylor at an Santa’s Seconds sale which was held at the school before Christmas. The decision to allocate some of the funds from the Santa’s Seconds sale to CHEO was made by the members of the school’s student council after they had polled their fellow students about where the funds should be directed.

$1,114.86 for Tysen’s campaign Special to the News

Stittsville Public School is supporting Tysen Lefebvre’s “Mission To A Million� campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. The school has not only given Tysen’s campaign a $1,114.86 donation which was done at a school assembly

on Tuesday, April 28 but it is also holding a Tysen’s Toonie Tuesday fundraiser for Tysen this coming Tuesday, May 12.

appropriate form to recognize such donations since it is traditional that people make a wish on a star. Students at Stittsville Public School are also voting online for Tysen as he currently is competing for a national “Me to We� award. In talking about Tysen at the April 28 assembly, Stittsville Public School teacher Ms. Elva Mitchell noted that Tysen is a candidate for the “Me to We� award because he worries about others, not himself. She said that Tysen is not raising money for himself in his campaign but rather is raising money to help other children and provide a fun experience in their lives by having their wish granted by Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. It costs $10,000 for each wish that is granted by MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario. Tysen’s “Mission To A Million� campaign will result in the granting of 100 wishes for children suffering from life threatening illnesses or diseases. Tysen, who is 14 years old and now attends Goulbourn Middle School, is a former student at Stittsville Public School.

The fundraiser for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) which was held at Pong’s Poutine chip wagon on Carp Road in Stittsville last Saturday raised over $1,000. This exceeded the goal of $500 which had been set by Pong’s Poutine’s owners Stephanie So and Ata Iemsisanith. They organized this first-ever “Chips & Cheese for CHEO� as a way to give back to CHEO for the care provided there for their twin daughters, MacKenzie and MacKayla who were born prematurely, with MacKenzie weighing only 1.5 pounds and MacKayla weighing only 2.3 pounds. Both are now home although MacKenzie remains under constant care. Both girls are being very closely followed by CHEO medical staff.

Stephanie So has written the following letter of thanks to all those in the community who supported this fundraiser for CHEO last Saturday: “On behalf of Pong’s Poutine, my husband and I would like to thank everyone that came out to support our fundraising efforts for CHEO on Saturday, May 2. We had set what we believed was a lofty goal of $500 for a first time event. However, we are very pleased to say you helped us raise over $1,000 to go to this amazing hospital. We were lucky enough to have Mother Nature on our side and an amazing community support network. CHEO has touched everyone somehow, whether directly or indirectly, and events like this show just how important this hospital is to the city. CHEO has some of the most widely recog-

Ferret gets attention at Heads Up Barber Shop John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Heads Up Barber Shop at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville may be the only barber shop in the world with a ferret on the premises. No, the ferret does not cut hair but the 11 month old ferret named Lily is a hit with many customers, especially youngsters. And Lily, for her part, loves the attention she gets at the barber shop. She’s “very tame and friendly,” Lily’s owner Rick Plamondon, a barber at the Heads Up Shop, says about his pet ferret. She is kept in a travel cage in the shop, although Rick does let her out to play with youngsters, provided, of course, that the shop door is closed. Rick began beginning Lily into the shop after clearing the idea with shop owner Frank Olszynko. Lily, like most ferrets, can make little noises at times and like other ferrets, she can at times do a “war dance” which Rick says is cool to see. Rick says that he got a ferret as a pet on impulse because he thought they were cut and ferrets had always interested him. His initial ferret died but Rick then got Lily. Ferrets can live to be up to ten years old.

At home, Lily has a large four-level cage and regularly plays with Rick’s other pets (cats and dogs). Lily is “one of the family,” he says about the ferret. At the barber shop, Rick does take Lily out for walks around the plaza, sometimes on a leash or sometimes in his hoodie. The ferret is a domesticated form of the European polecat which is a mammal belong to the same genus as the weasel. Average length for a ferret is 20 inches which includes the tail which can be up to five inches long. The history of the domestication of the ferret is uncertain but it is likely that ferrets have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world but increasingly they are kept only as pets.

Descrip on of Property The City of O awa Workshops, 7 Bayview Road, is a one and two storey reinforced concrete building located on Bayview Road in west O awa. Heritage Value The cultural heritage value of the City of O awa Workshops lies in its being a good example of an industrial building influenced by the Modern style, its historical associa ons and its contextual significance within the former industrial hub of west O awa. The City of O awa Workshops is a good example of the type of industrial building built throughout North America in the first half of the 20th century. Constructed in 1941, as part of a larger complex of City buildings, it was designed by Joseph Holmes Irvine, City of O awa Design Engineer. The building is constructed of reinforced concrete with a brick veneer. Features of the building associated with the Modern style include the flat roof, plain, unadorned façade and the large steel framed windows with inset hopper windows. The cultural heritage value of the City of O awa Workshops also lies in its historical and contextual importance within the former industrial hub of west O awa. It is one of the few remaining examples of this prominent industrial area centered on the railway tracks. The complex func oned as a maintenance yard, workshops and storage. Located on the border of the historic community of Mechanicsville, the City of O awa Workshops is an important symbol of the area’s industrial and railroad boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Objec ons Any person wishing to object to this designa on may do so by le er, outlining the reasons for the objec on and any other relevant informa on. This le er must be received by the Clerk of the City of O awa either by registered mail or personally delivered within 30 days of the publica on of this no ce.

Much at stake in labour battle

J

ust like the mercury rising in thermometers across Ontario these days, temperatures are rising in the latest chapter in a series of showdowns between the provincial government and the teachers unions. The last time this happened, back in December 2012, Dalton McGuinty was still premier, autumn was turning into winter and relations between Queen’s Park and the teachers were just as chilly as they are today. That dispute, which the unions characterized as a fight about rights and the province said was about money, was among the factors that saw McGuinty move on to a secluded life of Ivy League academia and started the process of current Premier Kathleen Wynne’s rise to power. How little has changed in a few short years. From the province’s perspective, it was about holding the line on salaries then, just as it is now. The teachers are once again claiming it’s an attack on rights, not about pay. Two things should shape this dispute, but likely won’t: the province still has significant budget woes,

and teachers are still well paid. Whether those facts have any influence over the negotiations remains to be seen. Eventually one side will cave in, yet by then some sort of damage will be done to the rest of us. Either the province will cave, as it did back in 2012, and we’ll be stuck with the bill or, after some sort of disruption in our schools, teachers will grudgingly return to work, smarting from a battle lost. Back in 2012, this newspaper supported a different notion: all differences aside, what must be held foremost in the minds of all parties is that education is about our children. Children are the future of this province, and any shot it has at returning to prosperity has a lot to do with them. Bitterness or cold calculation today will only lead to ruin tomorrow. Some sort of compromise needs to be struck that allows the province to move forward with reducing the deficit, while at the same time ensuring satisfaction and security for teachers. This is far from an easy task, but it’s what must be done to ensure that Ontario doesn’t continue to lose its way.

Give Sparks Street pedestrian mall a break

T

hey’ve started talking about cars on Sparks Street again. You could have predicted it, because it happens every time somebody notices Sparks Street. When somebody notices Sparks Street, particularly if it is after business hours, somebody notices that there are no people on it. Then they start talking about putting cars on it again, as if that would solve something. It would; it would solve the problem of there being no cars on Sparks Street. But it wouldn’t solve anything else. For much of the time -- say, 9 to 5, May to October -- there isn’t much that needs solving on Sparks Street. People are out and about, chatting, eating food from one of the food wagons, listening to a busker,

away and new ones are put in there. Then there are events, mostly involving food competitions of one sort or another. These draw well, but they leave eventually and it becomes the same old Sparks Street again. The main problem is that the big stores decided, around the time the Rideau Centre opened in 1983, to leave Sparks Street. So Sparks Street is no longer a shopping destination. Another problem, which may solve itself as more and more condos and apartment buildings go up, is that most of the population decides to leave Sparks Street too, as soon as the workday is over. Sparks Street needs to be thought of as the place to go, and it isn’t.

suburban malls. The place to go for drinking and dining is the ByWard Market. Sparks Street is the place to go to look at the structures in the middle of it and try to figure out what they are. To be thought of as the place to go, Sparks Street needs excitement. If there had been riots on Sparks Street after the elimination game against Montreal that would have put Sparks Street on the map. People would go down in the off season to see where the riots happened. During the playoffs they would go down there to riot. But there weren’t any riots, despite the Senators having been robbed by the ref of the tying goal, despite Subban breaking Stone’s wrist, despite the plain old injustice of it all. To their credit, Ottawans, unlike, say, Vancouverites, just aren’t rioting people. When the ref ruins everything, we write letters to the editor.

Musical ‘The Ark’ at Stittsville United Church John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Noah’s Ark came alive in Stittsville last weekend. It all happened at the Stittsville United Church where a presentation of the Off-Broadway musical “The Ark” saw Noah’s Ark floating again – with all of its animals along with Noah’s family of his wife, their three sons and their sons’ wives. And what an assortment of animals which joined Noah on the Ark – peacocks and a hummingbird which could talk, racoons and a fox which loved the cooking of Shem’s young wife Martha, unlike the members of Noah’s family; a panda and a lamb; a lion, a dove, a pair of ravens, butterflies, a turtle, a bumble bee, cats, dogs, a snake, owls, a penguin, a polar beer and more. And then there were the songbirds, played by members of the chorus who sang through much of the performance, accompanied by the piano/drums/bass guitar band. And don’t forget the Voice of God who assigned Noah with this mission of the ark in a manner reminiscent of how TV’s “Mission Impossible” teams were offered their assignments in modern TV land – “If you accept this mission to

build an art…” All in all, it made for a music and fun filled rendition of this famous Biblical tale of Noah and his ark and one with a modern message as artistic director Ruth Richardson mentioned at the conclusion of each of the three performances of the musical – Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. She noted that everyone is involved with family and sometimes there are storms in these relationships. However, with God’s help, people can get through these difficult times, just like Noah’s family did aboard the ark. This musical “The Ark” not only told the Biblical story of how Noah’s ark saved all the animals from the flood but also related how Noah’s family handled its time aboard the ark. The story particularly dealt with the conversion, as it were, of Noah’s son Ham who began as a prodigal son but who eventually developed a new relationship with his visionary father Noah. One of the highlights of the musical was the performance of six year old Hannah Lily who sang a solo number in her role as The Dove, returning to the ark with evidence of nearby land. The two performances on Sunday saw Dave Newar assume the role of the Voice of God, taking over from Shawn Williams who was the Voice of God at the Saturday evening performance but then was devastated upon returning home to learn of the sudden death of his father. The whole sanctuary of Stittsville United Church was converted to being an ark. A giant mural covered the front wall of the church while there were raised platforms down both sides of the church on which numerous stuffed animals and other props associated with the ark were located. The musical, with music by Michael McLean based on a book and lyrics by Michael McLean and Kevin Kelly, featured two acts, with seven scenes in the first act and eight scenes in the second act. Ruth Richardson served as the artistic director while Allison Houston was the musical director for the production. Members of the cast for this musical were as follows:

Voice of God – Shawn Williams and Dave Newar; Noah and his family – Doug Hall as Noah, Amy Mesdag as Noah’s wife Eliza, Rick Gourlie as the prodigal son Ham, Wendy Hall as Ham’s wife Egyptus, Paul Thompson as Noah’s builder son Japeth, Keli Byce as Japeth’s wife Sariah, Greg Chennette as Noah’s youngest son Shem, and Sasha Newar as Shem’s young wife Martha; The Dove – Hannah Lily; Peacocks and Hummingbird – Grace Lawford, Ellie Turk, Emma LeMadec and Mae Weese; Racoons and Fox – Liam Lawford, Christian LeMadec, Callum Thompson and Ben Rhody; Pandy and Lamb – Amanda Moore and Trisha Lamb; Lion – Nathan Stevens; Partner Dove – Alice McLean; Ravens – Ben Newar and Terron Mayors; Bufferflies – Claire Rhody, Elise Rhody, Emily Scott and Hailey Scott; Turtle – Joshua Lewis; Bumble Bee – Megan Dillenbeck; Cats – Katherine Hurst, Harrison Weese and Katy Lamb; Dogs – Davis Weese, Cambria Taegu and Charlie Derrick; Lion/Horse – Kienna Taegu; Snake – Joel LeMadec; Owls – Mackenzie Byce and Chloe Tilton; Penguin – Kim Paradis; Panda Bear – Ashley Curtis; Polar Bear – Mia Tilton; and Other Animals – Grace McLean and Lily McLean. Members of the “songbird chorus” for the production were Larisa Beach, Alanna Code, Sarah Daly, Grant Dillenbeck, Shelley Hagar, Jennifer Harris, Elizabeth Hochster-Hurst, Laura Lily, Kate McDonald, Mary Roe, Allison Scott, Eileen Turcotte and Betty Young. Members of the band included David Morrisette on drums, Bill Code on bass guitar and Tobi Dumoulin and Allison Houston on piano. The wardrobe and makeup crew for the production included Bonnie Lamb, Betty Young, Sasha Newar, Laura Thibedeau, Marisa Bivi, Alana Quirion, Phoebe Strike, Gillian McCracken and Jenny McCracken. The sound and light technicians for the musical included Wray Lamb, Mike Lamb, Karen LeMadec, Bob O’Connor and Ian Frei. The set design creator was Rick Gourlie while members of the set construction crew included Paul Thompson, Kelli Byce, Heather Newar, Sasha Newar, Dave Newar, Ben Newar, Trisha Lamb, Amy Mesdag, Bonnie Lamb, Ruth Richardson, Grant Dillenbeck, Frank Argue, Brent

Amy Mesdag, who was Noah’s wife Eliza in the production, produced animal paintings that were available for purchase after the various performances. Stittsville United Church presented this story of Noah and his ark which was free to anyone who wished to attend in order to nurture faith and build community within the congregation; to inspire and challenge people regarding their involvement and their talents; to be inter-generational, inclusive and highly flexible; to provide a creative and fun opportunity for a short term church commitment; and to tell the story of Noah and to see how this ancient story is as relevant today as ever.

There are costs involved in presenting a musical production such as “The Ark” which was performed at Stittsville United Church in Stittsville last Saturday evening and again twice last Sunday. Expenses to put on the show amounted to about $3,500. There was no admission charge as everyone who wished was welcome to attend and enjoy the musical. But donations to help offset the expenses were encouraged and a free will offering was taken up. All of the expenses must be covered by these donations and free will offerings because no funds from the church’s annual budget are used to fund these annual musicals like “The Ark.” Expenses related to the show include the purchase of the script and provision of royalties for each performance; audio and light rentals; set construction; and costume creation.

‘Big Screen, Little Screen’ concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers are no longer simply singers – they are now performers. And the same goes for their associated youth groups, the Junior Jubilees and the JJ Teens as they all demonstrated at last weekend’s spring concerts entitled “Big Screen, Little Screen” and featuring choral hits from both the movies and TV land. So the concerts featured not only the choral vocal stylings that have been a hallmark of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers since the group’s founding in 1977 but also choreography, coordinated hand movements, props and costumes. In this concert, the group moved into the realm of musical theatre, as it were, growing beyond the simple choir presentations of the past. And, of course, it helps that the program for these concerts last weekend was filled with popular and familiar tunes, either from movies or from TV shows. One of the highlights of the program were two TVthemed medleys, one ending the first half of the program and the other being the penultimate offering in the second half of the concert. In the first half’s “TV, Eh? Medley,” the audience heard brief renditions of the theme music from six early Canadian TV shows including The Friendly Giant (with a recorder solo by Bryn Burnell), the Tommy Hunter Show (Canada’s travellin’ man), the Don Messer Show, The Polka Dot Door, The Elephant Show and, you guessed it, Hockey night in Canada. And there was more of the same, albeit for iconic American TV shows, when “TV Time!” was presented in the second half of the concert and the audience got to hear and remember the music associated with 11 American TV shows including Three’s Company, Bonanza, Happy Days, The Carol Burnett Show, The Brady Bunch, Green Acres, The Adams Family, Mister Ed, The Beverly Hillbillies and I Love Lucy. And in keeping with the group’s new presentation

Crews work 24 hours a day to get the job done as quickly as possible to reduce the impact to residents and businesses. Please be pa ent. As we are just coming out of winter, the main focus has been flood control. Street sweeping will get done in me. I would like to apologize for the traffic delay caused by the street sweeper on Thursday, April 17th. The normal process for Main Street is that it should be swept during evening hours, and not during the day me hours. With the large road network to a end to and the debris le from our winter the City was anxious to start their spring cleaning. Residents are reminded to not rake or blow leaves, lawn clippings or other debris onto the roadway. This is an infrac on of the Use and Care of Roads By-law 2003498. Street Sweeping is done in several phases: • Sidewalks, bus stop pads and medians are cleaned first using sidewalk sweepers. • City streets are swept by a flusher truck, which uses water pressure to flush the debris to the side of the curbs. A vacuum truck then picks up the majority of grit, debris, small par cles and dust. This opera on might be repeated several mes to ensure a clean surface. If vehicles are parked on the street, the unswept area is noted and crews will return to sweep that por on. If you think a street has been missed, please call 3-1-1 or visit serviceo awa.ca to complete an online request. Vehicles parked where temporary “no-parking” signs are posted could be cketed and towed to nearby streets. Towed vehicles are usually moved a few blocks to a nearby street. If you are unable to find your vehicle on your own, call the O awa Police Service at 613-230-6211 (TTY: 613-232-1123).

skills, you were entertained by more than just these TV themes, either Canadian or American. Jubilee Singers member Keith Lindsey donned a straw farmer’s hat and held a pitchfork when he led the singing for the Green Acres TV show theme. Indeed, Keith brought forth chuckles from the audience when he playfully used the upright prongs of the pitchfork as a holder for his music sheet. And the group did a lot of finger snapping as it presented the theme from The Adams Family. Scott Shepherd donned a black leather jacket and dark glasses,

a la The Fonz, as the group presented the Happy Days theme. And Jubilee singers member Jim Houghton wore a Dan Blocker ‘Hoss Cartwright-style’ hat as the group sang the theme song from Bonanza, the TV series that ran for 14 seasons from 1959 to 1973. The Carol Burnett Show theme song ended with each Jubilee Singer member including music director Linda Crawford tugging on an ear, replaying Carol Burnett’s renowned gesture as she ended her show.

Movie, TV songs are featured in annual spring concerts John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

Choral hits from both the movies and television were featured in the annual spring concert of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its associated youth choirs, the Junior Jubilees and the JJ Teens. Entitled “Big Screen, Little Screen,” the concert was held last Saturday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. and again last Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata which has become the performance home of the Jubilee Singers in recent years. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, as well as the Junior Jubilees and the JJ Teens, are directed by Linda Crawford with Bonnie MacDiarmid as the accompanist. Executive producer of this concert was Jim Houghton while Bonny Houghton was the stage manager. Rene Douville looked after the program and posters while publicity and ticket sales were handled by Bonny Houghton. The Embers, a Glen Cairn United Church group, provided the intermission refreshments. Kelly Terkuc and Erika Zubryn were the coordinators for the Junior Jubilees. Graydon Campbell provided tech support while Ryan Lindsey provided percussion musical accompaniment. Marg Graff and Linda Crawford handled the choreography for the concert while Allyson Sherk was the guest flautist. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, founded in 1977, are open to any adult who enjoys music. There are no auditions and music sight-reading ability is not required. Anyone who would like to join the group when it resumes in September should contact Elizabeth Douville at 613-838-6078 for more information. The Junior Jubilees is a youth choir open to children aged 8 to 14

years old who wish to sing. The JJ’s began in Sept. 2000 as a way of encouraging interest and involvement in choral singing among the youth in the community. The JJ Teens group is the latest addition to the Jubilee Singers choir family. For youth aged 13 to 16 years old, the JJ Teens not only rehearse and perform but also mentor younger singers. Members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers for this 2015 spring concert are as follows: Sopranos – Pat Bednarz, Sylvie Bouchard, Susan Chapman, Bev Coote, Eve Donoghue, Kathy Fischer, Pat Graham, Kathleen Hamilton, Lois Hoysted, Pat Lindsey, Sue Lopez, Wendy Lummis, Karen Martin, Sandra McKenny, Kate Moore, Ann O’Connor, Charlotte Parry, Lynn Pearson, Linda Peddie, Genevieve Taylor and Nadeena Wijeratne.

Members of the JJ Teens group are Eric Clipperton, Emma Flemke, Julia Heusel, Karolina Moo, MacKenzie Snow, Jacob Terkuc, Jacqueline Tilgner and Tia Zubryn.

Next stop is annual Christmas concert in December Continued from page 12

This gives an idea of how the Jubilee Singers as well as the Junior Jubilees and the JJ Teens added musical theatre touches to their choral presentations throughout the concert. Whether it was soloist Scott Shepherd wearing a 1920’s straw hat for the opening “Be Our Guest” from the 1991 animated movie “Beauty and the Beast” or the trombone-like hand movements for Irving Berlin’s “Putting On The Ritz” or the up and down body movements of the JJ Teens as they sang “The Lonely Goatherd” from “The Sound of Music” or the JJ Teens rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” video which ended with all eight of them laying down on the stage or the Jubilee Singers ladies all donning hats for a brief portrayal of the Downton Abbey theme song or Scott Shepherd portraying James Bond as the Jubilee Singers presented the James Bond movie theme, a song used in every James

Bond movie starting with Dr. No in 1962. The JJ Teens provided more of the same musical theatre-type drama when they presented Henri Mancini’s Pink Panther theme song, wearing hats a la Peter Sellers’ famous but inept French police inspector Jacques Clouseau while also wearing dark glasses and carrying sleuthing magnifying glasses as they paraded stealthily around the stage in keeping with the music and snapping their fingers in tune with the music as well. And the final tune, Seventy-Six Trombones from the 1957 Broadway musical “The Music Man,” saw soloist Alex Shepherd assume the role of con man Harold Hill, eventually leading the JJ Teens and Junior Jubilees as they marched down the centre aisle to the stage wearing red marching band hats, a gala finish to a rousing song. Other songs on the program included “Blue Skies,” an Irving Berlin tune sung by Al Jolson in the 1927 musical film “The Jazz Singer” and

later by Bing Crosby in the 1946 film “White Christmas”; “As Time Goes By” from the 1942 movie “Casablanca”; “Feed the Birds” from the 1964 movie “Mary Poppins,” which was Julie Andrew’s first film; “Unchained Melody,” a 1960’s hit song that has become a much recorded song and was featured in the 1990 American romantic comedy movie “Ghost” which starred Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore; “May It Be” from “The Lord of the Rings” film series, performed by the JJ Teens; “Edelweiss” from “The Sound of Music” with soloist Karolina Moo of the JJ Teens; “Down to the River to Pray,” a traditional gospel song of the American south heard in the 2000 adventure comedy film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?’; “When You Wish Upon A Star” from the 1940 movie “Pinocchio” which then became the official theme song of the Walt Disney company; the melodic “Moon River,” from the 1961 Audrey Hepburn movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” which won an Oscar for Best Original Song; the Billy Joel song “And So It Goes” from a 1990 episode of the TV show “Boston Legal”; “Hushabye Mountain” from the 1968 British musical film “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang”, a lullaby song which saw Bryn Burnell as a soloist, accompanied on flute by Allyson Sherk; “Skye Boat Song” from the hit TV series “Outlander”; “The Dawn Will Come” from the video game “Dragon Age: Inquisition”; “Think,” the theme from the longrunning TV show “Jeopardy”; “You’ve Got A Friend in Me” from the 1995 Disney movie “Toy Story”; and, wait for it, “Supercalifra-

gilisticexpialidocious,” a song from the “Mary Poppins” movie that saw this song’s title word, long as it is, listed in the dictionary in 1986, meaning a word used when a person has nothing to say. Soloists who performed during the concert included Scott Shepherd, Kathleen Hamilton, Sylvie Bouchard, Dwayne Clipperton, Karolina Moo, Kate Moore, Sandy Sutherland, Bryn Burnell, Karin Martin, Alex Shepherd, Susan Harvey, Jim Houghton, Keith Lindsey and Sue Lopez. And if you are disappointed that you were not at this spring concert by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, the Junior Jubilees and the JJ Teens which was presented twice (Saturday, May 2 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 3 at 2 p.m. at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata) and which revealed this new musical theatre dimension of the groups, well, mark your calendar for the annual Christmas concert, to be presented on Saturday, Dec. 5 and Sunday, Dec. 6. There could be more of the same – we can only hope! And when last weekend’s “Big Screen, Little Screen” concert was over, the video screen at the Glen Cairn United Church showed a most appropriate message, namely the iconic “That’s All Folks,” the signature line of stuttering animated cartoon character Porky Pig which came to be used at the end of every Looney Tunes cartoon. Looney Tunes was Warner Bros.’ animated series of comedy cartoons which ran from 1930 to 1969.

Hypnotherapist’s tour visits Stittsville On to more positive news, the annual Rural Expo & Food Aid Day BBQ returns to City Hall on Thursday, June 4th. The day will feature a great display of rural avor on the front steps of City Hall, a pancake breakfast and a delicious lunch from The WORKS all in support of the Ottawa Food Bank. The Rural Expo helps urban residents learn more about what rural Ottawa has to offer. If your organization wishes to participate in the Rural Expo, please contact the Rural Affairs OfďŹ ce at ruralaffairs@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 x28352. Wild Parsnip With this great weather, we can also expect to begin seeing wild parsnip in our communities. Wild parsnip is an invasive plant that is commonly found within the City of Ottawa in areas of uncultivated land, roadside ditches, nature trails, as well as on and surrounding rural and residential properties. Wild Parsnip may pose a health risk to humans. The plant sap contains chemicals that will cause skin irritation and make the skin prone to severe burning and blistering when exposed to the sun. The blisters typically occur one to two days after contact with the plant. This can result in long-term scarring of the skin. Wild Parsnip is a highly branched plant, with hollow green stems. The compound leaves are green and dense growing. The yellow owers are in clusters of up to 20 cm across. The plant can grow to a height of 0.5 to 1.5 meters. It is a biennial plant, reproducing only by seed. When working around wild parsnip or when walking through dense vegetation, wear goggles, gloves, long pants and long-sleeved shirts. Thoroughly wash boots and gloves with soap and water before taking off your protective clothing. Children should be reminded not to pick wild owers. Ensure children are able to identify wild parsnip in order to avoid exposure. If you are exposed to the plant sap, wash the contaminated area(s) thoroughly as soon as possible, and seek medical attention if skin irritation occurs. For more information, visit ottawa.ca.

Hypnotherapy made a difference in Matt Bloom’s own life and in recent years he has been trying to make a difference in the lives of others through hypnotherapy. This year Matt has stepped beyond the bounds of his own practice in Whitby to launch a two month long, 42 stop tour of communities across Ontario called “The New You Tour.� A portion of the proceeds from ticket sales on the tour are being donated to the SickKids Foundation, an organization that raises funds on behalf of The Hospital For Sick Children in Toronto. Stittsville was the tour’s stop on Wednesday evening, April 29. Hypnotherapy entered

Matt’s life about eight years ago when he, then in the travel business, suffered a series of losses and became depressed and was feeling lost. He started hiking in the nearby Rouge Valley but more importantly he accepted a suggestion to see a hypnotherapist. This resulted in a massive difference in his life and, so realizing that he wanted to help others, he enrolled in the Ontario Hypnosis Centre and became a certified hypnotherapist. Since then, he has operated his own practice in Whitby where he has managed to help thousands. Indeed, he points out to any doubters about the effectiveness of hypnotherapy that if it did not work, why would thousands have come to him. “I do it because it works,� he says about hyp-

Before getting into the bulk of my column, I just wanted to provide an update to residents in Richmond on the state of 74 Colonel Murray Street, a residence that, unfortunately, was lost due to ďŹ re last fall. The site has now become a bit of an eyesore generating some concern in the community. I just wanted to assure residents that the City of Ottawa will not allow the property to remain in its current state and will be cleaning it up if the site remains untouched as of May 15th.

Property Tax Deferral Program

notherapy. Matt notes that hypnotherapy works because when a person is relaxed, the subconscious mind becomes super receptive to positive suggestions and this is the basis for hypnotherapy. He told those at his Stittsville session that there is no magic or mind control used in hypnotherapy. Rather, when a person is in a relaxed stage, then suggestions about smoking, anxiety, depression and more are readily accepted by the mind. He pointed to his own success with clients who want to stop smoking, citing an 85 percent success rate. He claimed that typically two-thirds of those attending his group sessions like those on this tour will not smoke again after the session. Indeed, at these sessions, smokers actually abandon their cigarettes right there, leaving the cigarettes behind as they leave. He said that his stop smoking for good program is much more successful than the patch or Nicorette or other non-smoking programs. Matt attracted ten people to his Stittsville session, a much smaller crowd than those attending his recent tour stops in Arnprior and Renfrew. He was appearing in Bells Corners the following evening. Before the meeting, he admitted that he had never done such a tour before and so he was learning things as he went along. He suggested that future tours might have fewer stops and would focus more on larger theatre venues as compared to community halls. Matt began his Stittsville session at the Lions Hall by encouraging people there to relax. Playing soft music as he talked, he encouraged people to relax their various muscles and to drift into a

relaxed state. He urged them to choose to turn the world off in their mind and to begin feeling a sense of control. “Inhale the future, exhale the past,� he suggested, as he continued to encourage a relaxed state among those present. If you were not at this hypnotherapy session but would perhaps liked to have been, you have not lost your chance to experience Matt Bloom’s hypnotherapy. That’s because his Audio Download Packages are available. These are effective, reasonably priced and can be enjoyed in the privacy of your own home. Hypnotherapy can deal with stopping smoking, losing weight, reducing anxi-

ety, easing depression, boosting confidence and finding success. There are 30 downloadable hypnotherapy session available by going to the website www.thenewyoutour. com. SickKids Foundation, with Matt Bloom as a community partner, has endorsed The New You Tour. Established in 1972, SickKids Foundation invested $129.3 million in child heatlh research, learning and care in the fiscal year that ended on March 31, 2014. Bloom chose to partner with SickKids Foundation because he wants to help ensure that ill health will not be a barrier to people and their family life in the future.

Hair Donation Ottawa gets $1,381 donation at Stittsville Public School Special to the News

Presenting $1,381.40 to Hair Donation Ottawa to help in its support for cancer research at an assembly at Stittsville Public School in Stittsville on Tuesday, April 28 are, from left, Stittsville Public School teacher Mme. Cuffari, Stittsville Public School students McKinley Cooke, Riley Ebert, Kyleigh Dagg and Grace Lumsden, while accepting the donation are Hair Donation Ottawa founder and chairperson Helene Hutchings, far right, and Hair Donation Ottawa CFO and treasurer Perry Pavlovic, centre, back.

Hair Donation Ottawa, the cancer research fundraising organization that started in Stittsville five years ago and now attracts donors from across the Ottawa area, has received $1,381.40 from Stittsville Public School. The funds were presented to Hair Donation Ottawa founder and chairperson Helene Hutchings and Hair Donation Ottawa CFO and treasurer Perry Pavlovic at an assembly at the school on Tuesday, April 28. This presentation took place just two days after Hair Donation Ottawa held its major fundraising event on Sunday, April 26 – a hair cutting and styling/head shaving event at the beauty salon facility at Algonquin College in Ottawa. And what a success this event was this year. At the school assembly, Helene Hutchings announced

that Hair Donation Ottawa had raised $115,100 at its April 26 fundraising event. In the process, 10,766 inches of hair was collected which will go to make wigs for cancer patients. It was noted at the assembly that Stittsville Public School had supported Hair Donation Ottawa since its founding in 2011. Hair Donation Ottawa supports cancer research for both children and adults. Hair Donation Ottawa was founded by Hutchings after she battled cancer herself. She is currently a five year survivor. Hair Donation Ottawa has now raised one quarter million dollars to help support cancer research. The $1,381.40 which Stittsville Public School donated to Hair Donation Ottawa was raised through a Toonie Tuesday fundraising event at the school.

New signs at Museum Special to the News

The Goulbourn Museum at Stanley’s Corners has a new look. New signage was erected

on the Museum buildings on Wednesday, April 29. Three existing signs were replaced with new signage, with two being placed on the Mu-

seum building and one on the adjoining History Centre building. In addition, a new sign was erected on the entrance door

of the Museum listing the Museum’s hours of operation. Heritage Signs Plus was engaged by the Goulbourn Museum to create this new signage.

Smoke billows into the air as Ottawa Fire Service firefighters, assisted by a ladder truck, battle a fire at a three-unit home on Lloydalex Crescent in Stittsville last Saturday afternoon, May 2.

Fire on Lloydalex Crescent Special to the News

Fire gutted a home on Lloydalex Crescent off Carp Road in Stittsville last Saturday afternoon. Ottawa Fire Service firefighters, who received the call at 1:44 p.m., managed to subdue the fire which was billowing from the home. Much of the roof of the structure collapsed, destroyed by the fire. Damage caused by the fire is estimated at $450,000. The cause is under investigation. The home contained three housing units, one of which was not occupied at the time of the fire. Five people from the other two units have been displaced by the fire. Everyone at the home at the time of the fire got out safely.

Trip down music’s memory lane with trio John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The group is called “Musical Memories” and that is just what the trio delivered in its performance at the Friendship Club luncheon in Stittsville on Wednesday, April 29. It was a trip down music’s memory lane. The trio – vocalist Heather O’Connor, guitarist/vocalist Barry O’Connor and guitarist Wilf Arsenault – showed why they are in demand at retirement homes and seniors groups all across the city as they filled the Stittsville Legion Hall with a host of songs from the past. So the 40 in attendance at the Friendship Club’s monthly luncheon heard such long time favourites as “Down By The River Side,” “Hey Good Lookin’,” “My Wild Irish Rose,” “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary,” and “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”, among others. But “Musical Memories” also included in their performance a number of hit songs from the past – some country and some main stream

hits. These included Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be Will Be), the 1956 hit by Doris Day that won the Academy Award for Best Original Song and became her signature song; Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues,” considered as one of his signature songs; Willie Nelson’s country hit “Forgiving You Was Easy”; “The Log Driver’s Song,” a tune associated with Ottawa Valley music legend Mac Beattie; “Jambalaya (On The Bayou),” a 1952 hit for American country music icon Hank Williams Sr.; Elvis Presley’s “Wooden Heart”; and “Send Me The Pillow You Dream On,” a 1957 hit by American country music singer Hank Locklin which has become a standard for the Nashville sound and a song which has been covered by many singers over the years including Johnny Tillotson, Dolly Parton and Dean Martin. Wilf Arsenault, the lead guitarist for the “Musical Memories” trio, is a member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.

Stittsville News - Thursday, May 7, 2015 29

History surrounds luncheon John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

History surrounded the annual spring luncheon hosted by the Ladies Auxiliary of the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion on Sunday, April 26 at the Legion Hall on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. There were tables at the front of the hall filled with clippings of Ladies Auxiliary activities and events from the group’s beginnings in 1970 through to today, all displayed thanks to the efforts of Clive Morris of the Stittsville Legion. The walls of the hall were filled with displays of photos of Ladies Auxiliary activities. And there were other displays in the hall featuring photos and other memorabilia related to the 45 year existence of the Ladies Auxiliary.

And the spring luncheon itself was historic because it was the last major event being hosted by the Ladies Auxiliary before it disbands at the end of this May due to declining membership. The role of the Ladies Auxiliary has changed over the years as now spouses can directly join the Legion Branch. This was not always the case, establishing the need for a Ladies Auxiliary so that spouses could belong to an organization that support the work of the Legion Branch. Among those in attendance at this spring luncheon were Jack and Mary Shirley from Kingston. Jack was an active member of the Stittsville Legion branch in its early days as well as an active community resident. His “Looking Out The Window” column ran in the Stittsville News for a number of years in the early 1970’s.

Story songs at Gaia Java John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Story songs filled the air at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville at its music evening last Friday. They all came from the musical mind of singer/songwriter Terry McLeish who performed at the music evening, accompanied by his long time friend and bass guitarist Grant Tomkinson. And the songs ranged from more universal topics such as online dating to more specific tunes related to the Ottawa Valley where both Terry and Grant hail from – Westmeath, to be specific. There was the song “Fitted Sheets” detailing the challenges facing a man whose wife has left him, leaving him to do the household chores himself. Perhaps he should have done his share before she left and now he would not have to be doing it all including folding those fitted sheets, Terry observed. Another song was about not working for minimum wage any longer while there was a humourous tune wondering what Queen Elizabeth carried in her purse. Of course, he preceded this “The Queen’s Purse” song with, what else, a story, recounting how he had met the Queen as a youngster and later saw her as her limousine passed along Colonel By Drive in Ottawa. There was also a song lamenting the disappearance of the small town with lyrics like “Where has my small town gone>” and “If I had known, I would have said goodbye.” But it was his Ottawa Valley-based songs which were most memorable at this Friday music evening. There was a song lamenting the tearing up of all of the railway tracks throughout Renfrew County, with Terry quipping that no one in Renfrew County lives on the wrong side of the tracks anymore because, quite simply, there are no more tracks. There was “The Little Log Church” song,

telling the history of a pioneer log church in Waltham, Quebec. He also told how he was engaged to write the song about this church but with instructions that certain names and dates had to be included in the song. A video is now being produced featuring the song. And the Ottawa Valley themed songs continued. There was “The Auction in Westmeath” which he wrote after attending a farm auction, finding it a sad time. Hence the lyric “I don’t want to hear that old auctioneer’s hammer come down again.” There was a song about a hunt camp, another Ottawa Valley tradition, as well as songs about other Valley activities as recounted in “The Logger Song,” “The Opeongo Line” about that settlement road in the Valley, and “Bonnechere River” about that Valley river. Terry McLeish has a self-titled debut CD entitled “Terry McLeish” which he had on sale at the Friday music evening. Terry’s music career has seen him perform folk music as well as perform with rock and blues bands. His songs have been heard on television and radio. Over the years, he has shared the stage with such singers and performers as Colleen Peterson, Valdy, Long John Baldry, Sneezy Waters, Ian Tamblyn, Paul Brandt, Ronnie Hawkins, Prairie Oyster and more. He has performed at festivals, clubs, parties and fairs, among other venues. He is currently working on a new studio album which should be released this coming summer. These music evenings at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville happen every Friday beginning at 7 p.m. There is no admission charge although a donation box is set up for voluntary donations to help the musicians with their expenses. This Friday, May 8, the music evening at the Gaia Java shop will feature country singer/ songwriter Howie Hooper.

Winning top awards in piano Special to the News

Two Stittsville sisters won top awards for outstanding performances at the recent Renfrew Rotary Festival in Renfrew. Darienne Neil won the junior piano award for obtaining the highest mark in a contemporary composer class (grades one through seven) at the Festival. The adjudicator was impressed with the exuberance in her playing as well as the ease with which she handled the difficult rhythms and articulations. Darienne is planning on completing her grade three piano this spring with Conservatory Canada and then moving on to grade four. Adelynn Neil won trophies in two categories at the Renfrew Rotary Festival. She won the award for obtaining the overall highest mark in the category “Own Composition – Junior or Senior.” This was Adelynn’s first attempt at composing. She was able to weave an intricate but easy going melody with offset rhythms over an ostinato bass. Adelynn’s second award was for being selected as the Most Promising Junior Piano Student (grades 1-7) at the Festival. This trophy is awarded on the basis of the marks received in the classes entered as well as the adjudicators’ recommendations. In the six classes in which Adelynn entered, she received

four first place ribbons, one second place ribbon and one third place ribbon. Adelynn is planning on completing her grade five piano exam with Conservatory Canada this spring and then

moving on to grade six. Both Darienne and Adelynn are taught by Betty Harris of Stittsville. The Renfrew Rotary Festival was held this past April in Renfrew.

Saturday June 6, 2015

And, on Saturday, June 6th, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation is sparking a lemonade stand movement and hosting the 3rd annual Cardel Homes Great Canadian Lemonade Standemonium presented by Palladium Insurance. Sarah Bickford and her three kids - Olivia, 11; Gwen, 9 and Elliot, 5 – they have already begun to recruit their team members for the Lemon Bursts stand. This year they are going bigger than ever, enlisting the help of 12 families and involving more than 27 kids. They will all be volunteering at multiple stands in their Nepean neighbourhood and out front of Fresco’s on Elgin Street. “I know how hard the struggle with cancer is,” explains Sarah, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2007 when her youngest child was just 18 months old at the time. “As a family we wanted to do something to give back – and this is something that we could all do together. It’s really great and the kids love it, and the response they we get is so incredible. People are so generous.”

GREAT PRIZES TO BE WON! PROCEEDS BENEFIT

38 Stittsville News - Thursday, May 7, 2015

Thank you to our generous sponsors

Over the last two years of the campaign, more than 600 kids have hosted hundreds of stands and helped to raise close to $120,000 in support of the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation. Team Ronick/Team Kang has been one of the top fundraising stands each year, led by 10-year-old Ronick Kang his little sister Maeya. They host their stand in honour of their grandma, Balwinder, who was diagnosed with cancer two years ago. “I was really sad and I wanted to help her,” explains Ronick. “I found out about the campaign online and it just grew from there.” Ronick says the key to his success is finding the right stand location – one with a lot of foot traffic.

Goulbourn Male Chorus to sing Broadway tunes Special to the News

News – The Goulbourn Male Chorus will be singing a number of Broadway musical tunes for the first time ever in one of their concerts at its spring concert thisSaturday afternoon, May 9. The 20 voice chorus, under the guidance of new music director Byron Hermann, will be singing a number of famous Broadway tunes in this concert entitled “The Bright Side of Life.” This will include “Ol’ Man River,” “Bring Him Home,” “Luck Be A Lady,” “Can You Feel The Love Tonight,” “Always Look On The Bright Side of Life” and more. But there will be more than just these familiar Broadway

tunes presented at the concert. The chorus will also perform a variety of folk songs and spiritual favourites including “Oh Shenandoah” and “Swing Low Sweet Chariot.” Besides this new inclusion of Broadway songs in a Goulbourn Male Chorus concert, this spring’s concert will also be presented at a new location – the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road. It is a recently built facility that features superb acoustics and, perhaps just as important for any audience, comfortable seating. This will also be the Goulbourn Male Chorus’ first public performance under the group’s new music director Byron Hermann who has replaced founding music director Robert Dueck.

BBQ, bake sale and cookbooks

Each week, a lawyer from the Kanata based Allan Snelling law firm will answer a reader’s question.

Special to the News

Hamburgers, hot dogs and home baked treats – now that’s the recipe for a great lunch. And when someone else does the cooking and baking, it’s even better. But this will be the case when the IODE Walter Baker Chapter holds its third annual BBQ and bake sale this Saturday, May 9 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Giant Tiger store at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Hazeldean Road in Stittsville. And, speaking of recipes, you will also be able to purchase a cookbook filled with recipes at this event as the IODE Walter Baker Chapter will be also selling their cookbooks at the same time. The cookbooks feature recipes provided by Chapter members. Indeed, some of the baked goods that will be on sale at the May 9th event at the Giant Tiger store in Stittsville will include items made with some of the recipes in the cookbook. All of the proceeds raised by this BBQ, bake sale and cookbook sale will go to help support charitable projects and programs undertaken by the IODE Walter Baker Chapter.

A weekly guide in legal matters

If you have a general legal question that you would like to have addressed send it via email to Legalmatters@compellingcounsel.com

I’ve worked for the same small software company for 10 years and unfortunately my relationship with my boss has gotten worse over time. A friend of mine told me that his employer is hiring and that he could get me a job with them doing the same work. I really want to take this job but I’ve heard that if I work for a competitor I could be sued. Is this true? An employee who leaves to work for a company’s competitor may be sued if their employer believes they’ve broken the written or unwritten terms of their employment contract. It is true that an employee’s obligations to their employer last beyond the last day of work, but that does not necessarily mean that you’ll get sued.

Vendors wanted Special to the News

The ongoing written obligations of employees often relate to non-competition or non-solicitation clauses in contracts. These are essentially sections of the contract that are designed protect employers from having their departing employees take their customers or compete against them. Although many contracts include these types of clauses Ontario Courts won’t always enforce them if they are too strict. About Allan Snelling

Vendors are being sought for a Treasures Galore and More Sale at the parking lot at the Stittsville United Church in Stittsville on Saturday, June 13. Hosted by the Stittsville United Church Women, this Treasures Galore and More Sale will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors involved with crafts, baking, plants, games, toys and more are invited to participate. Sell your surplus household treasures or extra garden items, children’s toys, books, jewellery or whatever else you may have that you would like to sell. Instead of holding a garage or yard sale at your home, participate instead in this Treasures Galore and More Sale. You will not be alone – there will be lots of other vendors and sellers there. This will attract more buyers and you will have a better chance to have a successful sales day than if you were on your own at your home. Spaces are being rented for $20 per space or $30 with a table included. The only proviso to vendors/sellers is that they have to take anything not sold back home with them. To reserve a space at this Treasures Galore and More Sale, please phone the Stittsville United Church office at 613-836-4962 or Bonnie Lamb at 613-831-2582. And besides finding lots of bargains, those attending as buyers will be able to enjoy lunch there as well as barbecued hot dogs, chips, muffins and beverages will be for sale at the site. In the event of rain, this Treasures Galore and More sale will be held on the following Saturday, June 20. The Stittsville United Church is located on Fernbank Road just west of Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

This spring concert will be presented this Saturday, May 9 at 2:30 p.m. at the Trinity Presbyterian Church on Richardson Side Road near Huntmar Drive. Besides the musical offerings of the full Goulbourn Male Chorus, the concert will also feature the “Men of Note” a cappella ensemble which will be performing springtime music selections. There will also be audience sing along numbers. Tickets at $15 each are available from chorus members as well as at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop and Brown’s Your Independent Grocer, both in Stittsville.

An employee’s unwritten obligations are often more important than the written ones. At a minimum these unwritten rules require that a departing employee must return all property to their employer and keep anything that can’t be returned confidential. For a software company this means that beyond returning a company laptop you must ensure you don’t disclose trade secrets or customer lists to your new employer. Returning all of your employer’s property and respecting their confidentiality is most important. If you’re worried about what’s written in your contract, a lawyer should be able to review your contract and provide you with advice at a reasonable cost.

Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday, May 10 and a great way to honour a mother is to provide some baking and goodies for the day that she herself did not have to bake. And you can do this because the Munster United Church in Munster is holding a bake sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the church in Munster. That’s just the day before Mother’s Day, so you can pick up some great

home baking there and surprise your mother with it on her special day the next day. Along with this bake sale, Munster United Church is also holding a BBQ that same day, starting at 10:30 a.m. and running through to 1 p.m. This BBQ will be a great spot to enjoy bacon-on-a-bun or a lunch of hamburgers or hot dogs. Everyone is welcome to attend both this bake sale and the BBQ.

According to legend, Robin Hood and his band of merry men used their archery skills in fighting for good causes. Now you can also use archery to help out a great cause, supporting breast cancer research. And it does not matter if you are an expert archer like Robin Hood apparently was or are a novice, never having shot a bow and arrow before. Those of all skill levels and of all ages are all welcome to take part in a “Shoot for the Cure” fundraising event on Saturday, May 23 at That Hunting & Fishing Store at the Richmond Plaza in Richmond. This is the initiative of Jennifer Lavigne of That Hunting & Fishing store whose family has been impacted by breast cancer. She has set a $2,000 fundraising goal for this inaugural “Shoot for the Cure” event. It will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, using the indoor archery range at the store. She will be on hand throughout the day to help anyone who has never used a bow and arrow before but who would like to give it a try. The event is for everyone – beginners through to experience archers. Bring along the whole family and give archery a try, either for the first time or for the umpteenth time. The shooting will be free but

donations will be accepted. Participants will have the opportunity to aim at colourful balloons. If a balloon is hit and popped, the shooter will be entered in a door prize draw. Jennifer will have a selection of bows available for people to use. She says that this “Shoot for the Cure” event is a great opportunity for those who may want to try shooting a bow and arrow but have not yet taken up the opportunity. Well, this is the time to try while helping out in the fight against breast cancer at the same time. All of the proceeds from the event are being donated to the Canadian Cancer Society in support of breast cancer research. Experienced archers who normally pay for shooting at the range are welcome to participate in this “Shoot for the Cure,” making a donation rather than paying any fee for using the range. Jennifer explains that people tend to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow quickly, so even novices should soon be popping balloons at this event. And Jennifer should know as she is not only an avid archer herself but she conducts lessons and also hosts many events at the store’s archery range including birthday parties and outings for groups such as Cubs, Scouts and Guides. She says that this “Shoot for the Cure” event will be fun for everyone.

Move over, St. Patrick’s Day lots of green at grand opening of new TD Canada Trust branch John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The new TD Canada Trust branch in Richmond gave St. Patrick’s Day a run for its money in terms of the colour green at its recent grand opening. For this grand opening ceremony on Saturday, April 11, there was green everywhere in the branch. There were green and white balloons decorating the branch. Staff were wearing green such as Karen Wheaton’s green cowboy hat and manager Chris Williams’ green shirt; There were snacks of green grapes and green apples. And what about that green candy floss that youngsters were gobbling up! There were green chairs and a green rug covering part of the floor. The celebratory cake featured green trim and the green TD Canada Trust logo. Yes, indeed, St. Patrick’s Day, so renowned for the wearin’ of the green, had nothing on this grand opening at Richmond’s new TD Canada Trust branch. Green, of course, is the corporate colour of TD Canada Trust. And for the official opening, city of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt used a giant pair of green-handled scissors to cut the equally giant and equally green ribbon marking the ceremonial opening of the branch. Adding another touch of green to the event was the presence of the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation tree mascot. And the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation was present as well in terms of a $5,000 donation which was presented to the Richmond Village Association to purchase trees for planting in the village. The tree planting will be coordinated with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority with

"!!

regard to the location of the plantings and the type of trees planted. Volunteers from the community will be involved. In his remarks at this official opening ceremony, city of Ottawa councillor Scott Moffatt noted that it was great to have another bank establish in Richmond, calling the branch a welcome addition to the community. Jane Duchscher, Senior Vice-President Ontario North and East Region for TD Canada Trust, echoed similar sentiments in her remarks at the opening. “We’re thrilled to be part of the Richmond community,� she said, noting that the branch boasts an open concept design that is meant to be warm, open and welcoming for customers. She also noted that the branch’s layout also features the latest digital technology, all meant to enhance the banking experience for customers. Emily Manolakos, TD Canada Trust’s District Vice-President for Ottawa South and East, in her remarks at the opening, said that TD Canada Trust is committed to being engaged in the local community, noting that the branch’s manager Chris Williams and his team will be out in the community. In his remarks, branch manager Chris Williams said that the branch will not only offer the best in customer service but that it is committed to being involved and contributing to causes that matter to the community. He said that the TD Canada Trust team will be out and about in the community, trying to help make a difference. For the grand opening, there was a petting zoo set up in the parking lot.

Happy Mother’s Day

The Goulbourn Comets bantam girls basketball team are the champions this season. The Comets won the yearend tournament to emerge as the bantam girls champions after streaking through the regular season with a record of 13 wins and only two losses. The team had begun the season last October with ten players of varying levels of experience making up the team. The team quickly came together to become a strong presence on the court while also having a lot of fun along the way. The Comets entered the year-end tournament as one of the teams to beat. The tournament featured two pools of four teams each who would meet each other in round robin

play. The winning teams from each pool would then face each other for the gold medals and the championships. The Comets had a strong start in their first game against Nepean but Nepean fought back in the second half. It took a strong defensive effort by the Comets in the dying seconds of the game that allowed the team to escape with a one point victory. This initial game was a wake-up call for the team as the Comets went on to comfortably win their next two games, one against another Goulbourn team and one against a Kanata squad. This meant that the Comets had three victories in pool play, earning a spot in the championship final.

In this final, the Comets went up against the Ottawa Shooting Stars, a team that had also won three straight games in pool play. The championship game saw the lead go back and forth, with neither team able to pull away. The Shooting Stars displayed good outside shooting while the Comets repeatedly took the ball inside to score. The lead continued to change hands but final the Comets used a late surge to jump ahead by eight points with only four minutes to play. With this lead, the Comets turned up their defensive play to close out the game with a 38-30 victory when the final buzzer sounded. The Comets were the champions.

A win/win/win/win situation with coupons Special to the News

48 Stittsville News - Thursday, May 7, 2015

It’s a win/win/win/win situation. The Richmond Food Bank wins because it receives the money raised. Richmond and area residents win because they get discounts on products and/or services at local businesses. Local businesses win because they gain more local customers. And the Richmond community wins because all of this helps it to become an even more thriving and active community. This all has come about thanks to the creativity of Michele Noel of Blue House Pet Grooming on Perth Street who has come up with this win/win/ win/win idea that involves organizing a “Living Local Coupon Book.� This book features coupons from various businesses in and around Richmond that give customers discounts on products and/or services. There are over 50 different local busi-

nesses involved. And what is the real topping on the cake in this is that this “Living Local Coupon Book� costs only $5 per book. All of the funds raised from the sale of this coupon book are going to support the Richmond Food Bank. So, you not only get a saving when you use a coupon but you also are helping to support the Richmond Food Bank. Supporting local businesses is also important as it makes the local business sector more vibrant, adding to the vitality of the community. The businesses included in this “Living Local Coupon Book� are A & P Plumbing, Amish Sheds, Bayview Windows, Blue Heron Studios (Art Classes), Blue House Pet Grooming, Brophy Farm Events, Car-O-Practor, Channonhouse Bootcamp, Christopher’s Meats, Climate Works, Conley Driving Range, Copiexpert, Ed Smith (Corporate Accountant), Fallowfield Developments, Fang

Tysen up for award Special to the News

John Brummell/Metroland

Jonny Olsen of Junkyard Symphony performs from the top of a pile of containers as he entertains the audience at a performance of Junkyard Symphony at the third annual Family Fun Day and Fundraiser at the Stittsville Shopping Centre on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville last Saturday.

Stittsville’s Tysen Lefebvre is in the running for a national award. Tysen created his “Mission To A Million’ campaign to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario, enough funds to grant 100 wishes to youngsters facing health issues. Tysen, who is 14 years old, has now been selected as one of the three finalists in the “In the Community” category in the “Canadian Living Me to We Awards.” The winner will be selected through online voting which is now underway. The “In the Community” category is meant to honour a Canadian who has united his or her community in support of a common cause, bringing people together and improving the lives of other Canadians. The winner will receive a $1,000 prize that will be donated to the winner’s charity of choice, a commemorative award, a feature article in Canadian Living magazine which has a readership of 4.5 million people across the country and coverage on the website www.metowe. com. The voting for this national ward opened on Friday, April 17 and will continue through to this Friday, May 8. Voting can be done on the website www.metowe.com/ living-me-to-we/living-me-to-we-awards. Winners in this national competition will be announced at the Toronto We Day later this year and in the October issue of Canadian Living magazine. These “Canadian Living Me to We Awards” are meant to recognize ordinary Canadians who are making an extraordinary impact on the world by raising awareness of issues that they are passionate about and which bring about change in the community. The awards were inaugurated in 2005 when Craig and Marc Kielburger of Free The Children teamed up with Canadian Living magazine to celebrate the accomplishments of these Canadians by creating the “Canadian Living Me to We Awards.” There are six categories for the awards, of which “In the Community” is one. Tysen has already raised over $230,000 with the five year campaign just almost a year and a half old.

Grand opening for Ritchie Feed & Seed at Richmond location John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

Rainbows are one of nature’s marvels, glowing with colour as they appear in the sky. And while not in the sky and not a marvel of nature, there was a similar awe-inspiring scene at the Ritchie Feed & Seed greenhouse complex in Richmond last Saturday as colourful flowers formed a sea of colour virtually as far as the eye could see. It was the grand opening event marking the arrival of Ritchie Feed & Seed in Richmond where the long time Ottawa garden centre and feed operator has taken over the facility formerly run by Creekside Gardens at the corner of Ottawa Street and Eagleson Road. The main greenhouse featured colourful flowers set out in row upon row, all grown right there on site and all ready to be taken home by gardening customers. There were begonias and geraniums and more, all potted up and ready for purchase. And, indeed, many were being wheeled or carried out of the greenhouse, on their way to brighten their new homes in gardens across the area. The spring day, with warm temperatures, sunshine and blue skies, lent a perfect backdrop to this grand opening event. There was a petting zoo and face painting for youngsters and the Richmond District Lions Club members were

back on hand to help visitors find what they were looking for, whether it be bedding plants, perennials, hanging baskets, packets of seeds, grass seed, fertilizer, gardening implements, garden accessories, bird feeders and more. Bouquets of blue balloons adorned locations around the facility, adding to the festive atmosphere. And, speaking of blue, which is the colour found on Ritchie Feed & Seed signs, it was a blue ribbon that was used for the official ribbon cutting ceremony at 12 noon for this grand opening event. City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn ward councillor Scott Moffatt was on hand as the special guest which swaw Ritchie Feed & Seed vice-president Doug Ritchie cut the ribbon while using a pair of scissors with a blue bow on them. Others who took part in the ribbon cutting ceremony included Ritchie Feed & Seed sales manager Gerry McKenna, Ritchie Feed & Seed CEO Jay Johnston and Lisa Boyd, the manager of this new Richmond location. Ritchie Feed & Seed formally took over the location last December 1st, taking over from Creekside Gardens which had expanded the facility after its owner Scott Cummings of Richmond had taken over the garden centre from Ray Lalonde who had operated the garden centre as Lalonde’s Richmond Gardens for four decades. Ritchie Feed & Seed vice-president Doug Ritchie acknowledged that it was a first class facility that would allow Ritchie Feed & Seed to serve the area with quality garden and landscaping products, much like it does from its main long time location on Windmill Lane in the east end of Ottawa. The Richmond location will carry agricultural feeds that can be found at the Windmill Lane store including horse and livestock feeds. This Richmond location will also carry birding supplies and interlock brick and has a boutique store on site as well. He noted that Ritchie Feed & Seed did have dealings as a supplier with both Creekside Gardens and, before that, with Ray Lalonde going back to the 1970’s, so it is quite familiar with the Richmond, Manotick and area market. Starting in February, Ritchie Feed & Seed grew all of the bedding plants that are now being sold at the garden centre. This is something new for Ritchie Feed & Seed as even at

its Windmill Lane site, it had not previously grown its own bedding plants. It will be providing some plants from this Richmond location to its other locations. Besides all of the plants that were on display in the main greenhouse facility for the grand opening, Ritchie Feed & Seed also has several greenhouses on the site filled with more plants grown there which will be used to re-supply the main greenhouse as purchases are made. With the busy Mother’s Day weekend and ensuing weekends coming up, there’s bound to be lots of these plants moved into the main greenhouse area for sale. And, if these plants are not enough, Ritchie Feed & Seed still has relationships with other growers and will use them to ensure that this Richmond location has a wide selection and variety of plants available for customers at all times. This Ritchie Feed & Seed location in Richmond has a display pond inside the greenhouse. It will have water plants on sale, although they were not available for the grand opening event. This new Richmond location is the sixth location in Eastern Ontario for Ritchie Feed & Seed and the third in the city of Ottawa – Windmill Lane in Gloucester, Carp Road in Stittsville and now Ottawa Street in Richmond. In addition, Ritchie Feed & Seed has locations in Brockville, Winchester and Dixon’s Corners (Brinston) in Eastern Ontario. Ritchie Feed & Seed has been a supplier of agricultural feeds in the Ottawa Valley area since it was founded by John Ritchie in 1927. The original store and mill were located on York Street in the Byward Market area of Ottawa. It was in 1960 that Ritchie Feed & Seed acquired what is now its flagship location on Windmill Lane in Gloucester. By 1980, Ritchie Feed & Seed had become one of the largest independent lawn and garden retail businesses in Eastern Ontario. In 1982, Ritchie Feed & Seed opened a retail garden centre outlet on Hazeldean Road in Stittsville, a location now occupied by the RONA outlet in Stittsville. In 2004, this retail garden centre outlet in Stittsville was relocated to the Carp Road where it is located today. See RITCHIE, page 53

Boat Foundation, there’s going to be a launch party held on Thursday, May 14 at the Covered Bridge Brewery on Iber Road in Stittsville. Starting at 6 p.m. that day, samples of the new beer and food will be provided for a small donation. Chinatown’s Showboat dragon boat team has a reputation for putting the FUN into fundraising. This team has been paddling for more than ten years, always in elaborate costumes. They are among the top fundraising teams in the annual Ottawa Dragon Boat Festival. In addition, team members are also actively

involved in volunteering and fundraising for organizations in Ottawa’s Somerset West community. Since 2005, the Chinatown’s Showboat dragon boat team has raised over $110,000 for the Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation. The Ottawa Dragon Boat Foundation was established in 2003 and since then it has raised $3.4 million through its fundraising efforts, benefitting 33 local charities. Covered Bridge Brewing in Stittsville is owned and operated by John and Kathy vanDyk. The brewery opened in Dec. 2013, with fundraising as part of the business.

Lawn bowling season to begin Special to the News

At ‘Come Try Ringette!’ At the “Come Try Ringette!” event which was held by the West Ottawa Ringette Association at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Saturday afternoon are, from left, Barry Gorham, Lynn Abbott, Debbie Roberts and Leigh-Anne Sinclair.

It is also a sport that suits people from teens through to seniors because of its leisurely pace, its reliance on skill and its non-contact nature. And, first and foremost, it is a game that is mostly played outdoors, with lots of opportunity for conversation and enjoying the fresh air. The objective in lawn bowling is to roll biased (that means that they are weighted, i.e. not perfectly round so that they will curve and bend as they move along the green) bowls so that they stop as close as possible to a smaller ball called a “jack” which has been placed at the other end of the green. Lawn bowling is played on a rectangular, precisely leveled area with manicured grass, divided into parallel playing strips called rinks. In singles and pairs play, a player delivers four bowls in each end. In triples, three bowls are delivered by each player in an end while in fours, each bowler delivers two bowls in an end. Today the sport is played in over 40 countries and is a sport at the Commonwealth Games.

The lawn bowling season is here. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club will be starting its 2015 season this Monday, May 11 and new members are most welcome to join. The cost for new bowlers for their initial year of lawn bowling is just $75. What a deal! There is bowling on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., followed afterward by refreshments and coffee and lots of conversation. This season there will also be evening lawn bowling available as required. Lawn bowling is an opportunity to exercise while having fun, all at a reasonable price. The only things that a bowler needs are flat smooth soled shoes and comfortable shorts and tees. The Club provides the bowls free of charge for the first year. The Goulbourn Lawn Bowling Club’s lawn bowling green is located on Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, right next to the Goulbourn Town Hall building (former Goulbourn municipal building).

Letter ‘H’ is focus at ‘Merrily We Go’ Preschool John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

The letter “H” was the letter of the week at the “Merrily We Go” Preschool in Stittsville last week. And the Preschool youngsters really used their heads, quite literally, in learning about the letter “H” as first there was Crazy Hair Day on Wednesday, April 22 and then, last Friday, April 24, there was Crazy Hat Day. And not only do “Hair” and “Hat” both start with the letter “H,” but both involve the head – and, guess what – that’s another “H” word.

But this is how it goes throughout the school year at “Merrily We Go” Preschool because there is a theme letter for each week, with all of the activities that week tied to that particular letter. And even the homework which the youngsters have takes on the theme of the week. 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 are doing their homework. In addition, having a homework task gives parents an op-

portunity to work with their child and be part of their Pre-school 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. Every class at “Merrily We Go” Preschool begins with circle time so that 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 of-

fers both morning and afternoon classes for those three years old to four 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 of adults to children. What a great ratio to provide a caring learning environment! The curriculum at “Merrily We Go” Preschool is based on learning about a letter of the alphabet each week as well as a different colour each month. Both pre-reading and pre-math skills are taught each day in a fun, creative way. In addition, youngsters at “Merrily We Go” Preschool get to enjoy free play time where they learn socialization skills as well as everyday living skills. Circle time also provides them with an opportunity to hear stories and learn new songs as well as talk about the letter of the week. In art, a child uses his or her imagination and creativity. Crafts done by the youngsters teach them how to follow directions and how to organize. And then there’s always snack time which helps the youngsters try new foods, learn table manners and develop conversation skills. This summer “Merrily We Go” Preschool is offering two summer camps, both with fun themes. The summer camp that will run from July 20 to July 24 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon will have “Pirates and Princesses” as its theme. The cost will be $100 per child. The summer camp that will run from Aug. 10 to Aug. 14, again from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, will have “Under the Sea” as its theme, another favourite for youngsters. The cost is also $100 per child. Both summer camps will feature a variety of fun crafts, stories and games, all related to the theme. And, don’t forget, there will be some gym time every day as well. Teachers at the “Merrily We Go” Preschool are Jayne Tanner and Wanda Halverson. For more information about the “Merrily We Go” Preschool or about the upcoming summer camps or about its classes starting this fall (youngsters have to be three years old by Dec. 2015), please phone 613-836-4320 or email merrilywego2010@gmail.com .

Emerging as “A” side champions this season was the team of Ross Sillett, Janet Seward and Keith Warmington. This team also had the most wins in the regular season, finishing with 65 wins. Taking the “B” side championship was the team of Louis Seward, Edna Monahan and Elizabeth Douville. The award for being the player showing the most sportsmanship over the course of the season went to Ross Sillett. The winner of this award is determined by a vote by all of the players. Brian Fawcett had the most wins for the men during the season with 43 while Lana Muldoon had the most wins for the ladies, namely 22. The award for high score for the ladies went to Jill Wright with 124. Lana Muldoon did top this with a 140 score but she won the award for most wins for the ladies and the league has a rule that there is only one individual award per player in this year-end awards. The only exception to this rule is the sportsmanship award since it is determined by a vote of the players. As for the men, there was a tie at the top for high score, with the award being shared by Geoff Kilabuk, Ross Sillett, Tim Lytle and Mark Carter. The Most Valuable Player award based on accumulated average went to Eric Watters who also tied for the high score of 140. Brian Fawcett, who had the most wins for the men, also had the highest accumulated average and tied for the high score of 140 but the “one award for individual” rule kicked in which is why he did not walk away with more awards on the evening. The playera all enjoyed pizza following the presentation of the awards.

Memories about building wanted

Richmond Curling Club garage sale along with BBQ lunch on Saturday

Special to the News

Wanted: Memories of the current Goulbourn Museum building in its past life as the Goulbourn township hall. Built in 1873 to replace the original Goulbourn township hall at Mansfield which had burned down in a fire in 1872, this hall served not only as the local for council meetings but also served as a community hall of sorts, hosting dances, election balloting, concerts and 4H meetings, among other activities. If you have any memories or stories about attending an event at the hall, be it a council meeting or a community dance or some other activity, the Goulbourn Museum would like to hear from you. That’s because this year is the 25th year that the Goulbourn Museum has been located in the building and the Museum is planning to celebrate this significant achievement. The Museum would like to hear from anyone who has a memory or story about the hall, no matter how big or small a memory. These are going to be compiled

including children s items, art work, crafting materials, holiday décor, linen, clothing, sporting goods, furniture, tools, books and more. The garage sale at the Richmond Curling Club will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday, May 9. In addition, there will be a BBQ lunch available on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. So it will be a great place to plan for a lunch stop as you travel around the village visiting all of the garage sales happening that day. Everyone is welcome to drop into this garage sale at the Richmond Curling Club, either this Friday evening, May 8 or this Saturday, May 9. There’s going to be lots of items to choose from.

Special to the News

Calling all garage sale fans! There will be garage sales going on all over Richmond this Saturday, May 9 as part of the village-wide Great Garage Sale 2015 organized by the Richmond Village Association. And one of the places that you will want to make sure that you stop on your travels around the village on that day is the Richmond Curling Club on Perth Street where a huge garage sale will be happening. Indeed, this giant garage sale will actually get underway on Friday evening, May 8, running from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. You might want to be an “early bird” picker on Friday evening to have the very best choice. But there will be lots for sale this Saturday, May 9 as well

by the Museum to help tell the story of the history of the building before it became the Museum in 1990. Please contact the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or by email at info@ goulbournmuseum.ca . The Museum is also looking for any old photos that might be around showing the building during its life as the Goulbourn township hall. Even if it is only a photo of the former adjacent St. Thomas Anglican Church showing the township hall or even part of the township hall in the background – that’s a photo that the Museum would like to see. This building that is now the Goulbourn Museum served as the township hall until an office building was built beside it in 1961 after Stittsville became a separated village on its own. This new building served as the Goulbourn township municipal office until 1974 when a new Goulbourn municipal building was built a little farther south on Huntley Road.

Friends of the Jock River shuts down Megan DeLaire

mdelaire@metroland.com

If the Jock River has friends, it has lost one in Friends of the Jock River. The organization’s remaining board members have officially declared it extinct after years of trying to breathe life into it. They’re still the Jock River’s friends, but not in any official capacity. The volunteer-run organization lost charitable status in July 2013 after several attempts since 2011 to replenish its shrinking executive board. In late 2014, its two remaining board members shuttered its website. On April 14 of this year, the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority received its archives, including annual reports and details of meetings, for safekeeping. “We lost something that was valuable and it’s gone,” said former president and long-time member Brian Finch. “It would take a lot of effort by quite a few people to reintroduce something like Friends of the Jock River.” Friends of the Jock River was founded in

1996 and, in its peak years, was run by 10 board members and had more than 300 members. Its mission was to improve the ecology of the Jock River watershed, involving landowners, recreational users of the river, local councillors and businesses in the process. The group partnered with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to monitor the health of the river and offered research positions to co-op students partnered with the conservation authority. Reaching out to communities along the Jock River in Stittsville, Kanata, Barrhaven and Manotick, Friends of the Jock River organized tree plantings and free canoe trips on the river, sponsored a Jock River photography contest and engaged the public with information booths at environmental panels and events in Ottawa. But Friends of the Jock River fell on hard times in 2011 when its executive was reduced to charter members Brian Finch and Neil Barrington. Many of the group’s past board members had served for years, reached advanced ages

and retired. Finch and Barrington, themselves ready to retire, were not able to find new members to fill the eight positions on the board, including president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. In 2012, Finch and Barrington chose to place the organization into dormancy for one more year and continue their attempts to recruit a new board, rather than dissolving Friends of the Jock River outright. “We published the results of this decision and there were quite a few organizations and individuals that expressed concern over our possible demise, but there have been few individuals step forward over the past year indicating an interest in running for a position on the board,” Brian Finch wrote in the group’s 2012 annual report. “I am hopeful that there will be more interest at the Annual General Meeting.” Between 2012 and 2013 the board gained three new members including two presidents, but saw them all resign due to personal and health-related reasons. In July 2013, Friends of the Jock River lost its charitable status due to unavoidable inactiv-

ity. Now the organization has all but entirely dissolved. Transferring its funds to its organization of choice, the Rideau Valley Conservation Foundation, and closing its bank accounts will be the final nail in the coffin. “These people have done their due diligence in service,” said long-time member and past director Tom Wright about Finch and Barrington. “It would be a shame to have four people or five new people not step up, because it takes time to get charitable status.” But Wright, 76, is hopeful Friends of the Jock River might one day be resurrected by entirely new members, which is why he deposited the group’s archives with the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority. “If you look at the building in Richmond, Kanata, Manotick and Barrhaven, the number of people that have moved in along the river is phenomenal,” Wright said. “If someone could step up now, even start a small project or just maintain the status quo until the membership is filled on the board, that would be a great asset.”

Historic ‘180’ score

What’s up, doc, around Stittsville?

Darts history has been made at the Stittsville Legion. Janet Chesal has become the first woman in the history of the darts league at the Stittsville Legion to shoot 180. “180” is the highest score possible with three darts and is obtained when all three darts land in the triple 20 area on the dartboard. Darts is a throwing game in which small missiles i.e. darts are thrown at a circular target i.e. dartboard that is divided into 20 radial sections, each separated with metal wire. Darts is not only a professional competitive sport but is a traditional pub game, commonly played in the United Kingdom as well as in other countries such as Canada, the United States and the Scandinavian countries. The standard numbering plan with a “20” on top of a dartboard was created in 1896 by Brian Gamlin, a carpenter in Lancashire. There have been many SUBMITTED other configurations of a dartboard used throughout the years but Gam- Janet Chesal is with the dartboard showing her darts in the triple “20” section – a 180 score. Janet is the first female darts player in the lin’s layout has persisted.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories It was especially warm that April. The snow had long since gone, and the days were warm enough that the roads were no longer muddy ruts, and we could even see spring buds coming out on the trees. Our winter clothes, including our despised long underwear, had been packed away, and we could smell the mothballs Mother had generously scattered into the trunk in the upstairs hall where our wool sweaters and other heavy clothing would sit out the hot summer months. The creek at the bottom of the West Hill had receded, and the Bonnechere River had settled into a gentle current cutting through the lower reaches of our farm. Spring was warm enough to be called summer, and that was all it took for my three brothers to decide it was now time to go swimming in the Bonnechere, even though the month of May had yet to begin.

Connected to your community

May 24 was gateway to summer activities

Of course, Mother put the kibosh on that idea. There would be no swimming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it. Emerson went outside to the big thermometer that was nailed to the house with “Supertest” in bright yellow letters on top. “It’s 75 degrees,” Emerson wailed. “I don’t care if it says 100! There will be no swimming until the 24th of May,” Mother said, slamming the screen door shut with a bang. Father came from the barn to get a cold glass of water, using his battered straw hat as a fan. He took his red polka-dot handkerchief out of his back overall pocket, and wiped his face, sending streaks of dust from the hayloft down his face. “Sure is hot in the barn,” he said. Emerson was joined by my brothers Everett and Earl in a plea for a dip in the Bonnechere. Well, they could have saved their breath. There would be no swim-

ming until the 24th of May, and that’s all there was to it. Emerson wanted to know what was so important about the 24th of May. He reminded Mother that was almost a month away, and by that time, at the rate we were going, with the heat and all, the Bonnechere could easily be nothing more than a trickle, and the summer would be half over, and that would be the end of swimming. My older and much wiser sister Audrey and I headed for the swing in the grape arbour. I thought, since I seldom had Audrey all to myself, that this would be a good time to ask her what was so important about the 24th of May. “Well,” Audrey said leaning back in the old wood swing, “Mother says a lot of things should wait until the 24th of May, and a lot of things change on that day too.” She rhymed off a few things,

May luncheon

which made little sense to me, but obviously were important to Mother. “Well, you will see that Mother never wears a summer hat to church until the 24th of May. She said in New York any woman caught wearing a summer hat before the 24th of May would be considered a woman of poor taste.” Audrey took a long breath. “And you certainly wouldn’t wear white gloves before then for the same reason. And that same goes for summer shoes too.” I was mulling over this bit of news in my mind’s eye. For the life of me I couldn’t understand why a date on a calendar was so important. And then Audrey reminded me of the many little flat wood boxes of sprouted seeds in the kitchen waiting to be put into the garden. “Never, ever, has Mother transplanted those boxes until after the 24th of May.” I had no idea what plants getting hit with frost, wearing a summer hat and white gloves and summer shoes, and swimming in the Bonnechere all had to do with the 24th of May. I figured, next to Easter and Christmas, the 24th of May must surely be one of the most important days of the year. I couldn’t wait for that date to roll around, and I decided right then and there, I would write in my diary all that had happened on that date so that years down the road, I would remember what an important day it was when I was very young.

There will be musical entertainment at the May luncheon of the Friendship Club. The “Mellow Tones” will be providing this entertainment.

Note that the start time for this Friday bridge is 12:30 p.m. The Monday exercise group at the Pretty Street Community Centre has been discontinued until this September. However, the Friday euchre at 7 p.m. at the Pretty Street Community Centre is continuing to run.

Did you know that more deaths are caused by being inactive than obesity? The Health Institute of Canada recommends getting at least 150 minutes of activity every week.

That’s only 1.5% of your week. Try breaking it up into three 50 minute workouts, or five 30 minute workouts People who are inactive are more likely to see their bodies lose strength, stamina, overall mobility than those who are active. Active people are shown to live 8 good years longer than those who are not. Do find the time and in the end you’ll have much more it!
