Robert Dueck of Stittsville will be happily leading the Goulbourn Male Chorus at a benefit concert for the Stittsville Food Bank this Saturday, May 10. See page 6

News - It’s an award for visual arts that annually goes to only one grade six, seven or eight student in the Ottawa area. And this year, the Molly Ellens Award for Visual Arts presented by MASC (Multicultural Arts in Schools and Communities) has gone to a grade six student at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville. The recipient is 12 year old Jackson Dunnigan who was nominated for the award by St. Stephen Catholic School principal Robert Santos and French Immersion teacher Angela Raconelli. The nomination included the submission of five drawings done by Jackson along with a short narrative that he wrote regarding his love of art. As a result of his selection for the award, Jackson at-

tended MASC’s recent Young Authors and Illustrators Conference at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum on the Aviation Parkway in Ottawa. This annual conference involves hands-on workshops for students from grades four through eight. Later this month, Jackson will be attending the 16th annual MASC Arts Awards gala at the Canada Science and Technology Museum where he will be formally presented with the award along with art supplies under MASC’s scholarship program meant to assist young artists in their development. Jackson has been drawing since he was in kindergarten but really only began focusing on it after he was praised by his teacher in grade three for the quality of his work. He now admits that he feels that his art is getting better as time goes by. He normally uses just an ordinary piece of paper on which to do his art and mainly uses a pencil. He usually uses his finger to smudge areas of his work to achieve the proper shading. He likes to use a pencil that is a little dull as a sharp pencil with its thin lead presents challenges. Jackson says that in doing a face which he sometimes does, he usually starts with one eye and then moves on to the mouth and then the other eye. See ST. STEPHEN, page 7

What a view! Zacchaeus, played by Ben Rhody, peers out from the branches of a giant sycamore tree as he catches a glimpse of Jesus arriving at Jericho in the musical “What’s Up, Zak?” which was presented at the Stittsville United Church last Saturday. See pages 50-51.

News - The history of Christ Church Ashton goes back to 1845 but Saturday, April 26 had to be one of most memorable days in this long history. That’s because His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston, the incumbent and 28th Governor General of Canada, paid an unexpected visit to the church supper that day. No one knew that he was coming until midafternoon. The church had sent him an invitation last year to attend the church supper after learning that he was considering buying a home in the

Ashton area for the time after his term as Governor General ends. He was unable to attend the supper last year but this year, those at the church were pleasantly surprised when the Governor General’s security detail arrived on the afternoon of the church supper on Saturday, April 26 to check out the venue for security purposes. The Governor General himself arrived just after 5 p.m., accompanied by his wife Sharon and four Royal Canadian Mounted Police security personnel. It was purely an “unofficial visit” which is why there was no pre-publicity about it.

Guitar and trumpet together at Gaia Java coffee shop the ﬂugelhorn, a brass instrument that is similar to a trumpet but, according to Michael, has a little mellower sound which is better in smaller settings. They performed an array of jazz standards with no original compositions being offered this time around. This was a last performance for a while for Justin or Michael at the Gaia Java coffee shop since both of them are off to Toronto later this year to attend school. Justin will be attending Humber College while Michael will be at the University of Toronto, with both involved in music programs. Justin Orok, in fact, was one of the ﬁrst per-

News - The Ben Gatien art on the wall at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop features musicians playing, among other instruments, the guitar and the trumpet. And just like they are together in this art, these two instruments were together in performance at last Friday’s music evening at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville. There was Justin Orok playing the guitar, much as he had done on previous performances at the coffee shop. And there was his friend Michael Henley playing the trumpet and, at times,

formers at these Friday music evenings at the Gaia Java coffee shop when they first started a couple of years ago. At that time, he was a student at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Kanata. One of Justin’s main influences in his guitar playing has been Lenny Breau, the guitarist and music educator who was one of the most admired guitarist of his generation in the United States who died in 1984. Lenny Breau blended many styles of music in his playing including jazz, country, classical and flamenco guitar. He

used ﬁnger style techniques that are not oft4en used in jazz guitar. He was born in Maine and grew up there but moved to Winnipeg in 1957, along with his family. He lived in various Canadian cities until 1976 when he returned to the United States. The Gaia Java Coffee Company at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street holds music evenings every Friday, starting at 7 p.m. There is no charge to attend although early arrival is recommended for the best seating.

Former provincial cabinet minister and current city of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is known to have attended these suppers.

R0011967133

Governor General Johnston and his wife Sharon stayed at the supper for about an hour, talking to those in attendance before leaving for a family event. Gerd Lohmann, who is the Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warden at Christ Church Ashton, was welcoming people at the door when a man introduced himself, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;My nameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dave, whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yours?â&#x20AC;? It was the Governor General. The Governor General and his wife never did eat at the supper as they spent their time going from table to table, talking to the people there. Mr. Lohmann said that the Governor General appeared to be a very â&#x20AC;&#x153;down to earthâ&#x20AC;? person. There was no special hoopla or fuss made when he arrived. Upon learning of his impending arrival, the church did block off a parking area in front of the church so that the Governor Generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle could park there. David Johnson, who was

born in Sudbury and was raised in Sault Ste. Marie, enjoyed a career as a bilingual legal scholar and university administrator before being appointed as Governor General by Queen Elizabeth on the recommendation of Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2010. He was the principal of McGill University for 15 before being president of the University of Waterloo from 1999 to 2010. At Harvard University where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, he captained the ice hockey team and was twice selected as an All-American. When he was appointed as Governor General in 2010, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that he represents â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best of Canada, he represents hard work, dedication, public service and humility.â&#x20AC;? Governor General Johnston married his high school sweetheart Sharon. They have ďŹ ve daughters. The church suppers at Christ Church Ashton, held in the spring and in the fall, are well known throughout the area.

Jubilee Singers, JJ’s present ‘Why We Sing’ John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Buses and singing don’t go together, especially if there is recording in progress. Just ask Linda Crawford, artistic director of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its junior choir the Junior Jubilees. At last Sunday afternoon’s “Why We Sing” concert celebrating the release of the Jubilee Singers/Junior Jubilees first-ever CD, director Crawford was just about to lead the Junior Jubilees as they were to sing “Peaceful River” when the sound of an OC Transpo bus passing by Glen Cairn United Church, the site of the concert, caused her to pause the performance, with the Junior Jubilees sharing some knowing nods and smiles. Director Crawford went on to explain that the sound of such passing buses proved to be a challenge when the Jubilee Singers and Junior Jubilees were recording the CD right at that very church. She said that the groups would be with a few bars of completing a perfect take of a song when a noisy bus would be heard. She noted how the final recording session was set for a day when hopefully there would be no buses around. But, lo and behold, this happened to be a snowy day and instead of buses, there was the sound of snowplows in the air. Not good for trying to record a CD! So, when those familiar bus sounds happened during last Sunday’s concert, it caused a halt in the program as Director Crawford explained why that particular sound had a special meaning for her and the choirs. But this is only one more memory in a whole host of memories that emanated from this project to record a CD. Indeed, as Director Crawford explained, this CD project began from discussions with choir members about why they sing in such a community choir. Then, when she asked the Junior Jubilee members why they sing, very similar answers were received. It was these answers and the themes in them that formed the ba-

sis for the musical repertoire that was used for the new ‘Why We Sing’ CD. And those at this spring concert of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and the Junior Jubilees either last Saturday evening or last Sunday afternoon at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata got to hear the songs of the CD and to benefit from an explanation of each song given before its performance by Director Crawford. And the songs were grouped or placed under certain themes as determined in those initial conversations that Director Crawford had with choir members. So you had “We sing for life,” “We sing in response to nature,” “We sing to tell a story,” “We sing in response to art and artists,” “We sing for fun,” We sing for spiritual nourishment,” “We sing to support and encourage each other,”

“We sing for inspiration,” “We sing for love,” and “We sing as part of a community.” Another part of this CD project turned out to be sponsorship of individual tracks on the CD by Jubilee Singers choir members or families as a way of honouring someone special to them or supporting a particular song of significance to the family. Linda Crawford explained that this sponsorship of tracks on the CD had not been in the original planning for the CD but once it came about, it led to lots of stories that are now a very special part of the whole project. Indeed, she called the CD project an “energizing exercise” for everyone involved. Last Sunday’s CD release concert had in attendance Canadian composer James Wright of Ottawa who composed three of the songs being

sung. These included “Bright Land,” composed with the art of Arthur Lismer in mind; “To Young Canadians,” a song in which the words of the last letter written by the late Jack Layton to the youth of Canada were set to music by Mr. Wright; and “If I Were The Moon,” a song of love. Members of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers are sopranos Joan Allum, Dorothea Bendall, Bev Coote, Suzanne Denney, Pat Graham, Pat Lindsey, Sue Lopez, Wendy Lummis, Karen Martin, Sandra McKenny, Kate Moore, Ann O’Connor, Charlotte Parry, Lynn Pearson, Linda Peddie, Keltie Purcell, Shannon Rodney, Jane Simpson and Freda Sutton; altos Sandra Allan, Bev Buckland, Gwen Cairns, Mary Connelly, Elizabeth Douville, Winnie Gibson, Susan Harvey, Bonny Houghton, Elizabeth Long, Sharon Neill, Nancy Sawyer,

Shauna Shapton and Sheila Wattie; tenors Judy Brush, Dwayne Clipperton, Jim Houghton, Scott Shepherd, Wayne Spears and Sandy Sutherland; and bass Bryn Burnell, Dick Coote, Rene Douville, Keith Lindsey, Dwight Martineau, Bill Robinson, Spencer Sutton and Alex Shepherd. Members of the Junior Jubilees are Charley Cousins, Caroline Davy, Clare Davy, Robyn Davy, Julia Heusel, Emma Kuster, Kaitlyn Kuster, Alison Low, Makenzie Snow, Jacob Terkuc, Nora Thompson, Ali Tilgner, Jacqueline Tilgner, Marcus Tilgner, Ellena Tzavelas and Tia Zubryn. Linda Crawford is the artistic director of both choirs while Erna Poettcker is the accompanist. Jim Houghton was the executive producer of this “Why We Sing” concert with John Argue as the stage manager.

mon for tunes associated with Cape Breton ﬁddle music to be performed on other instruments such as a piano. It promises to be a highlight of the concert. Indeed, audience feedback and applause to Mr. Chen’s “Cape Breton Set” piano solo at last Saturday’s Male Chorus concert in Kanata indicates that this is a musical treat that you will just not want to miss.

CITY OF OTTAWA NOTICE OF A PROPOSED OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO THE OFFICIAL PLAN In accordance with Section 22(6.4)(a) of the Planning Act and Section 11.(1) of Ontario Regulation 543/06, notice is hereby provided that an official plan amendment proposal is being considered by the Planning and Growth Management Department at the City of Ottawa. LANDS SUBJECT TO THE PROPOSAL This official plan amendment applies city-wide. PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT This Official Plan amendment is proposed as an Omnibus Amendment as it comprises a number of diverse changes to the Official Plan summarised as follows:

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Jackson Dunnigan, a grade six student at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville, works on a drawing. Jackson has received the 2014 Molly Ellens Award for Visual Arts from MASC (Multicultural Arts in Schools and Communities).

St. Stephen Catholic School student wins Visual Arts award from MASC Continued from page 1

He says that he usually only draws a face if he cannot think of anything else to draw. He admits that sometimes his hand and finger gets sore from steady use doing his drawings. And like all artists, Jackson puts his name on all of his finished artwork. Jackson says that his dream is someday to create comic books. He already has done some at home. Some of his classmates and other students have asked him to draw pictures for them. He willingly does this but he has started to ask for a two dollar donation for such pictures. But the money is not for him. No, rather he donates it to the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). He knows a number of people who have visited CHEO and have reported favourably on the facility and its staff, so he thought that donating funds to CHEO would be a good idea. Jackson not only has his art but also plays hockey and baseball, playing as a pitcher and third basement in ball. He started off in softball but switched to baseball, with the Toronto Blue Jays being his favourite team. St. Stephen Catholic School principal Bob Santos, who nominated Jackson for the award, said that he did so because Jackson is so talented. He said that he first saw Jackson’s work and

realized his talent when he became principal about two years ago. He has one of Jackson’s drawings on display in his office and says that those who see it are amazed when they learn it is a student’s work and not that of a professional. Mr. Santos said that he nominated Jackson not only because of talented artwork but also because of his initiative in giving the money raised from his drawings to CHEO. Mr. Santos says that Jackson is probably working at a university level with this art even though he is totally self-taught. He says that Jackson has an incredible imagination to go with his artistic talent. MASC (Multicultural Arts in Schools and Communities) began in 1987 and became a registered non-profit organization, presenting workshops and performances for students in schools in the National Capital area. It was in 1994 that the first annual Young Authors and Illustrators Conference was held, featuring hands-on workshops. Students served by MASC have risen from 14,000 initially to now over 100,000 each year. MASC remains as the only organization in Eastern Ontario with a primary mandate to connect artists and learning. Its program in the schools tries to provide exciting artistic opportunities for students that will galvanize learning.. These programs include dance, drama, literary arts, media arts, music and visual arts.

1. Corrections to policy changes made by OPA No. 150 and other technical changes OPA No. 150 included a number of administrative and other minor errors that are being corrected by this amendment. Other technical changes correct references to other documents or legislation, such as, Provincial guidelines for stationary noise sources. 2. Source-water Protection, Noise and Interpretation Policies and Schedule K A new Schedule K was previously circulated for comments and will now be incorporated into this amendment with new text that is proposed for Section 4.8.2 Wellhead Protection. The Environmental Noise policies in Section 4.8.7 have been updated to remove outdated references and in Section 5.4 the Interpretation policies for the Plan will identify the City’s “settlement areas”. 3. Transportation changes Changes to the City’s Transportation Master Plan occurred after adoption of OPA No. 150 which now necessitates the replacement of Schedules C and J. In addition, recent Environmental Assessments for major roads have recommended different rights-of-way widths and additional changes that could not be included in OPA 150, which now need to be reflected in Annex 1 of the Official Plan. FURTHER INFORMATION To view the application or any information or materials related to the application, please contact the undersigned planner, or go to the City’s Website ottawa.ca/ opomnibus. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS The City of Ottawa would like to receive any comments concerning this proposal. Please forward comments to the undersigned planner via mail, telephone, facsimile or e-mail by 6 June 2014. Comments received will be considered in the evaluation of the proposal. If you wish to be notified of the adoption of the proposed Official Plan amendment, or of the refusal of a request to amend the official plan, you must make a written request to the City of Ottawa. If a person or public body does not make oral submissions at a public meeting (meeting date, time and location to be determined) or make written submissions to the City of Ottawa before the proposed official plan amendment is adopted, the person or public body is not entitled to appeal the decision of the Council of the City of Ottawa to the Ontario Municipal Board.

Derailing the blame game

he city is waging a war of words with Via Rail over recent malfunctions at Barrhaven rail crossings and, unfortunately, the fallout is public safety. Via fired the latest broadside last week, sending out a press release that accused two OC Transpo buses of failing to stop at rail crossings on April 25 and 28, and in one instance, damaging a crossing gate. The accusation caught the city off guard, leaving council scrambling for more information about the two alleged incidents. Diane Deans, the chairwoman of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transit commission, said it was the first time anyone at city hall had heard about it. The city later met with representatives from Via and Railterm to review both alleged incidents and concluded that while the Fallowfield crossing did go into fail-safe mode on April 28, the incident wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t caused by the crossing gate making contact with an OC Transpo bus, according to a letter written by Mayor Jim Watson on April 29. A statement released by Via on May 1 concurred with that assessment, but maintained that the buses in both incidents â&#x20AC;&#x153;stopped beyond the stop line,â&#x20AC;? and indicated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;these types of breaches are unacceptable.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little disturbing that the city first learned about Viaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s findings through the media, but hardly

surprising, considering the history between the two following a collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via train at a Barrhaven crossing last September, which resulted in the deaths of six people. Over the ensuing months, the city received reports of major issues with signals at six Via crossings in Barrhaven. Frustrated by the number of signal malfunctions, council soon started criticizing Via, with the mayor threatening to ask the Ministry of Transportation to intervene and force Via to do its job. What we have here is failure to communicate. The mayor said both sides need to stop playing the blame game. A good start would be for the city to find ways to enforce its bylaw requiring bus drivers to stop at signalled rail crossings, instead of pointing accusatory fingers at Via. That this is an election year and council is spooked over the potential for legal fallout from the collision seem to only fan the flames of councillorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; desperation to avoid being caught in the fallout. For its part, Via must get its act together and fix the signals at rail crossings in Barrhaven, and not spend so much effort seeking a scapegoat. Both sides must find ways to improve communication -- we all end up losing by playing the blame game.

Is it time to take a stand against sitting?

itting is the new smoking, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading. Incessantly weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading it. So incessantly that â&#x20AC;&#x153;sitting is the new smokingâ&#x20AC;? is the new annoying cliche. Still, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying it. Expert after expert tells us, through our helpful news media, that excessive sitting -- which is to say, the sitting that we all do -- is responsible for such things as sore backs, elevated risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Hence, sitting being the new smoking. Most of us fall into the at-risk category. According to Statistics Canada, in a study quoted by Canadian Press, only 15 per cent of adults in Canada are getting the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of physical activity a week. The sad irony of this is that virtually the entire history of our civilization involves a struggle to allow us to sit more. When farmers produced surplus food, it enabled more people to live in towns and cities, where they could take jobs that enabled them to sit instead of walk around fields. When industrialization and mechanization produced machines and assembly lines, it took fewer people to make the products we needed. So the others could sit, becoming lawyers and journalists and image

able to mute Don Cherry without getting off the couch! Imagine being able to look up the proper spelling of â&#x20AC;&#x153;achieveâ&#x20AC;? without having to lift that heavy dictionary off the shelf. The parallels with smoking are not exact, as we shall see, but there is one here. The generations of heavy smokers who were our parents and grandparents were told that smoking would make them more sophisticated and desirable and that, far from being associated with health risks, cigarettes were smoked by doctors. Similarly, no one told us there was anything wrong with sitting. In our modern society, we associated sitting with working hard at our desks and working hard was a good thing. Where the parallel is not exact is in the fact that, so far, no social stigma attaches to smoking. Beginning about 25 years ago, smokers became pariahs, banished from workplaces, public spaces and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living rooms. That has not happened to sitters -- so far. But it is an intriguing possibility. Imagine the chairs disappearing from peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living rooms, much as the ashtrays did. Imagine the chairs vanishing from the office, so that people who want to sit have to have to go outside for chair breaks. Anti-sitting zealots will demand non-sitting

zones in public places and at major events (we have already had a preview of this in the recurring debate about lawn chairs at music festivals in the city). From there it is a short step to sitting-cessation programs, the marketing of stop-sitting aids and a debate about second-hand sitting. We will also have to be prepared to deal with the invention of electronic sitting. It may work. Sitting may become a thing of the past. But we have to be ready for the consequences of that. Can Canada accommodate all the new non-sittings? More specifically, does Ontario have a place to stand?

Eastbound Transit Operational Improvements Highway 417 / Pinecrest Road Interchange Notice of Submission – Design and Construction Report THE STUDY The City of Ottawa has retained MMM Group Ltd. to complete the detail design for eastbound transit operational improvements at the Highway 417 / Pinecrest Road interchange. The study area is identified on the map below. The objective of this project is to improve transit service by removing the requirement for eastbound transit vehicles to merge with highway traffic between Pinecrest Road and the Southwest Transitway. The scope of the project includes modifications to the S-E directional ramp and relocation of existing utilities and signage to accommodate ramp modifications. The design of these improvements takes into consideration the ultimate cross-section of Highway 417, which will incorporate four lanes of traffic in each direction. THE PROCESS While this is a City of Ottawa project, the work is being carried out within the Highway 417 corridor and is following the approved environmental planning process for Group ‘B’ projects under the Ontario Ministry of Transportation’s Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000). The purpose of this notice is to inform the public that a Design and Construction Report (DCR), documenting the detail design, has been prepared and will be available from May 8, 2014 to June 7, 2014 for a 30day public review period. The DCR can be reviewed at the following locations during normal hours of operation:

Subdivision meeting Special to the News

News - The proposed new subdivision located immediately east of the existing residential area which includes Caribou Avenue, Liard Street and John Sidney Crescent will be discussed at a public meeting to be held on Monday, May 26. This public meeting will take place starting at 7 p.m. at the Pretty Street

Community Centre in Stittsville. It is a follow-up meeting from an initial public meeting about this proposed new subdivision which was held last June. City of Ottawa staff have now reviewed the comments and input received from this initial meeting as well as from various technical agencies and city departments.

The proposed new subdivision is for 581 housing units comprised of 285 single detached homes and 296 semi-detached homes, along with a green buffer walkway park along the western boundary of the site adjacent to existing homes. Two main issues raised at the previous public meeting were the width of the treed buffer/pathway area along the western boundary of the proposed subdivision and the proposed road linkage between the existing residential area and the new

subdivision. In response to concerns raised about the width of the treed buffer/pathway area, the developer has agreed to increase the width of this buffer area from 6 metres to 12 metres. With regard to the proposed Samuel Mann Avenue road connection between the existing residential area and the new subdivision, city staff is now recommending that this Samuel Mann Avenue connection will not be open to vehicular traffic at the cur-

rent time other than for use by emergency vehicles and pedestrians. City staff is recommending that the road could be opened at the discretion of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Manager of Planning and Growth Management once major road infrastructure projects within the Fernbank Community Design Plan lands have been completed and traffic patterns have been established. This would include the opening of the new north/south arterial (Founder Avenue) from Fernbank Road to Abbott Street.

‘Four Wishes’ supports Tysen Special to the News

News - A new fundraising event last Saturday raised funds in support of the “Tysen’s Mission to a Million” campaign founded by 13 year old Tysen Lefebvre of Stittsville. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario hosted this new “Four Wishes” event which was held last Saturday from 12 noon to 6 p.m. at FunHaven in Ottawa. The idea behind this new “Four Wishes” event, in addition to fostering a sense of charitable giving and community spirit, was to provide families with the opportunity to experience some of the magic that takes place when a wish is fulfilled. The event’s entertainment and activities were structured to highlight four popular wishes among children. For “I wish to be…”, children had the opportunity to meet, ask questions, learn techniques and see demonstrations from Little Ray’s Reptiles, pop/rock musicians, the Ottawa Paramedic Service and the Ottawa Police Service. For “I wish to meet…”, children were able to meet and have photos taken with their favourite

with hope and joy. To date, Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario has

granted almost 500 wishes of children in the Eastern Ontario area.

princesses, super heroes, Star Wars characters, mascots and celebrity athletes from the Ottawa Senators and other teams. For “I wish to have…,” children were able to play with FunHaven’s entertainment attractions such as laser tag, bowling, bumper cars, rock wall, and electronic arcade games. For “I wish to go…,” children were able to take part in a beach-themed dance party with a DJ, snacks and goodie bags. All of the proceeds from the event are going to “Tysen’s Mission to a Million” which has already raised $60,000 for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. The granting of one wish costs an average of $10,000. Tysen, who had his own wish of meeting actor Adam Sandler granted, wanted to help others have their wishes granted and so he launched his “Tysen’s Mission to a Million” to raise one million dollars for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario so that 100 wishes could be granted. Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario grants the wishes of children with life-threatening or serious medical conditions to enrich their lives

Madison Gervais’ choreography in Canterbury dance showcase Grace Hart

Special to the News

News - Madison Gervais of Stittsville is really looking forward to the upcoming dance showcase at Canterbury High School in Ottawa. Her original dance piece entitled “Endlessly Floating” for which she has done the choreography will be presented.. Every year the Arts Canterbury Dance Program showcases the original choreography of graduating students through a special evening of dance. This year “Dance Night 2014” entitled “When Words Don’t Suffice” is being held on Friday, May 16 and Saturday, May 17 at the Barrie Alexander Auditorium at Canterbury High School at 900 Canturbury High School in Ottawa, starting at 7:30 p.m. on both evenings. This Dance Night 2014 will feature Arts Canterbury Dance Program’s senior dancers performing dance pieces created by graduating students as well as performances by featured local dance professionals. Proceeds from the event will go to support the Canterbury Dance Program. Madison Gervais herself began dancing at the age of three, taking dance classes at the Elite Dance Studio. She studied ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical and contemporary, soon realizing that dancing was her passion. She joined the competitive dance team at Elite Dance Studio and then, when she was in grade seven, Madison was introduced to the Arts Canterbury Dance Program at Canterbury High School by the older dancers at her studio. She instantly knew that the Arts Canterbury

RYLEIGH ANDERSON PHOTO

Canterbury High School grade 12 student Madison Gervais of Stittsville

Dance Program would be the right high school experience for her. This dance program, open to both boys and girls, focuses on technical development in both ballet and modern dance. There are a number of components that all students study such as dance technique, composition, performance, dance history and dance theory. The program is directed by Connie St. Louis, a former professional dancer. Madison auditioned for the Arts Canterbury Dance Program when she was in grade eight and was offered admission to the program for grade nine. While at Canterbury, Madison has had a number of dance opportunities. She performed as a back up dancer in the first music video “Never Again” by Mandia Nantsios. She has also participated in Dances For Youth By Youth, a local dance initiative combining professional dancers and high school students. Currently in grade 12 at Canterbury High School, Madison is a member of the Canterbury Dance Company. This is an extra-credit course offered outside the regular school curriculum which gives students the tools to produce their own dance pieces by providing instruction choreography, music, lighting, costuming and dance etiquette. This gives students the opportunity to do the choreography for a dance routine incorporating the unique dance technique of each student with instruction in choreographic choices and the elements of dance, music, lighting and costuming. For Madison, this means presenting her dance piece “Endlessly Floating.” She decided to choreograph her piece along two other grade 12 students in the Arts Canterbury Dance program, Melissa Chayer and Lisa Hamelin. The trio choose to revolve their piece around the idea of legacies. A legacy is defined as how someone is remembered and what impact the person made when alive. Madison, Melissa and Lisa, in the dance routine that they have created, are displaying this concept by using a balloon which will represent the mark which someone leaves on others. The piece is meant to demonstrate the influence of someone in a person’s life journey. It is these countless interactions which shape each person’s legacy and each person’s individual persona. With her four years in the Arts Canterbury Dance Program nearing an end, Madison hopes to pursue her dance career as well as study psychology in university. Tickets for Canterbury High School’s Dance Night 2014 “When Words Don’t Suffice” will be available at the door or can be purchased online at canterburydance.eventbrite.ca .

Spring Dinner in Richmond

I wanted to begin this week with some local updates regarding items in the Richmond area. On Monday, May 5th at our monthly Agriculture & Rural Affairs Committee, we approved a re-zoning at 6363 Perth Street which will allow for the Home Hardware (6379 Perth Street) to expand the rear of their lot at the rear of the property. The surrounding property remains zoned for future residential development. Also at ARAC on Monday, we deferred the decision on the Arbuckle Drain, which will not come to the next committee meeting on June 5th at St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church Hall in FallowďŹ eld Village. Also in Richmond, Colonnade Developments have applied to amend their plan of subdivision. Initially, their original plan was to have the next phase include two new buildings but with TD Bank ready to go, they have amended it to allow for just one building to go ahead at this time. You should expect to see construction to occur over the summer.

Realigned Greenbank Road Environmental Assessment The Realigned Greenbank Road and Southwest Transitway Extension EA is coming to Transportation Committee Wednesday, May 7th. This study included the alignment of Greenbank Road, from Cambrian Road to Barnsdale and the identiďŹ cation of potential intersection improvements at Greenbank Road/Prince of Wales Drive, Prince of Wales Drive/BankďŹ eld Road and First Line Road/BankďŹ eld Road. The recommended option for the ďŹ rst part of the study, the Greenbank Road part, would see a new Greenbank Road extend south from Cambrian Road and connect onto Barnsdale Road, approximately 750m west of the existing Greenbank Road. A new Park and Ride would also be constructed on this new portion of Greenbank Road, just north of Barnsdale Road. There are no recommendations for the intersection at Prince of Wales Drive & Barnsdale Road contained in this report but that is something that will certainly need to be looked at before the new Greenbank Road is completed. The second part of the study involved the intersection improvements to the south. The recommended option for Greenbank Road & Prince of Wales would see Greenbank Road connect to Prince of Wales at a new intersection, approximately 400m to the north of the existing one. This would increase safety and reduce the potential for cut-through trafďŹ c on Viewbank Road. For the intersection of Prince of Wales Drive & BankďŹ eld Road, the recommended option is a four-legged, two-laned roundabout that would increase ďŹ&#x201A;ow through this area and eliminate the long lines that occur presently. When looking at First Line Road, the recommended option would see First Line Road connect to Prince of Wales directly, just 300m south of BankďŹ eld Road in a newly constructed three-legged roundabout. This would take pressure off the existing First Line Road/BankďŹ eld Road intersection which would only be needed for right turns out and left turns in. This intersection is currently slated for signalization and fell just below the funded line for 2014. Transportation staff are currently looking at this project and the roundabout option to see if we can accelerate the roundabout option so that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste money in the short-term. If it becomes evident that the roundabout option is long-term, we will proceed with the signalization. All wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be lost, of course, as any turning lanes constructed for the signalized intersection would still be beneďŹ cial in the long-term, regardless of the signalization. I will keep you posted as these projects move forward.

Raising funds to fight against breast cancer at Shoppers

May 2nd, 2014 Carp Road Overpass

Throughout the construction period during the weekday, the Carp Road Bridge overpass itself will only have one lane of traffic flowing north or south in an alternate fashion, controlled by temporary signals. This should add some time onto the route 262 on the return trip in the PM. It should not affect the routes in the morning as the bridge is beyond the east bound on ramp and therefore should not be a problem. Please be assured that I have alerted OC Transpo planning staff on this so that they are aware. 6041 Fernbank Road Public Meeting and Update Development plans have been submitted for 6041 Fernbank Rd., which is located south of GRC, west of Shea Rd, north of Fernbank and west of existing residential area (Caribou, Liard, John Sidney). A residential subdivision is being proposed which will accommodate 581 units comprised of 285 single detached units and 296 semi-detached units - a park is being proposed as is a walkway block along the western boundary of the site. A public meeting to discuss this development will be held on Monday, May 26 from 7-9pm at the Pretty Street Community Centre (2 Pretty St, Stittsville).

The proposed use will serve as an extension to the adjacent existing use located at 2301 Carp Road. It will allow for the facility to accommodate industrial and commercial waste. The proposed zoning will see an additional use permitted under the existing zonings to include ‘waste processing and transfer facility’ and ‘solid waste disposal facility’. R0012682239-0508

News - Raising funds to help in the ﬁght against breast cancer was the goal of a special event at Shoppers Drug Mart at the corner of Hazeldean Road and Huntmar Drive in Stittsville last Saturday. But there was also an awareness raising focus as well, with pink balloons and pink tablecloths reﬂecting the focus on breast cancer which is so well known for its association with pink. A white canopy tent was set up outside the store where a BBQ was held, with hamburgers and hot dogs available. In addition, there was a bake sale as well, with goodies such as cupcakes, cookies and brownies available. Intermittent weather – some sunny breaks and a few raindrops – prevailed for the event.

Laurie has been a woodturner for over 30 years, turning wood into useful objects. Wo o d t u r n ing is a form of woodworking

that results in creating wooden objects on a lathe. The wood moves while a stationary tool is used to cut and shape it. Woodturning dates back to about 1300 BC when the ﬁrst lathe was developed in Egypt. During the industrial revolution, the lathe was motorized, allowing for more production in less time.

All Work and No Play: Ontario’s Retirement Crisis A Metroland Special Series: Part 2

Will a health crisis tarnish your golden years? JENNIFER BOWMAN, JESSICA CUNHA AND TAMARA SHEPHARD News - Mary wouldn’t call them her golden years. At 75, the Ottawa widow lives tightly on $25,000 a year. Her condominium fees eats up most of her income. There is little cash left over each month after she pays for food, her car, insurance, Internet service and her phone. She receives no income supplement. “Save, save, save. Put money away,” says Mary, who asked not to be identified. She is embarrassed over her dire financial straits. “Save from the time you’re 20. I don’t care if it’s $10 a week. It adds up. It makes all the difference in the world.” She and her husband held down “decent” jobs and raised five children together. But neither had a university degree. That put a ceiling on job and income opportunities, she said, and directly affected their ability to financially prepare for their retirement. Both worked until age 70. Mary is in good health. She receives two small pensions, from her job and her late husband’s work. Without them, she doesn’t know how she’d survive. Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security (OAS) adds up to only $1,300 a month.

“It never crossed my mind,” she said of her retirement. “You know it’s coming, but it’s a long way off. Then, all of a sudden, it’s there.” Mary’s retirement experience is a cautionary tale for Baby Boomers, the oldest of which are just turning 65, and for Generation Xers, those born starting in the mid-1960s on the heels of the boomers. Her financial distress in retirement is an all-too-common reality for many of Ontario’s 1.9 million seniors aged 65 or older. In fact, many Ontarians simply cannot afford to retire. Consumer costs, including health care and housing, compel them to work for wages and for health benefits. And in the next 20 years, Ontario’s population of seniors is expected to double. No one knows better how a health crisis can wreak havoc on retirement plans than Brampton’s Anne Mitchell, 67. Mitchell is gearing up for a second battle with cancer. Except, this time, Mitchell is scrambling to come up with $52,000 for chemotherapy treatment not covered by OHIP. “It will wipe out all of our savings,” Mitchell said. “This is a big financial burden. It will wipe out our whole retirement.”

Mitchell, a former office manager for a construction company and her husband John, 68, a steelworker, worked in Canada for more than 40 years and planned to fund their retirement with some retirement savings and a government pension. But no one plans for cancer. In 2009, Mitchell was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Mitchell cannot take Fludarabine and Rituximab, two very powerful chemotherapy drugs. She received only two treatments before the regime was abruptly stopped because of an adverse reaction to Fludarabine that nearly killed her. Mitchell’s doctor has prescribed Bendamustine, which OHIP will not cover. On April 7, Mitchell used her American Express card to cover the drug’s $4,500 price tag. “I felt complete and utter shock,” her husband John said, describing the reaction to the hefty bill. Moving forward, the Mitchell’s say they don’t really have a game plan to pay for the chemotherapy treatment other than drawing on their life savings and credit. “I have to make the payment somehow. I have to make the payment to keep my wife alive,” John said. Under Ontario Drug Benefit coverage, seniors over age 65 pay the first $100 of their prescription costs, then $6.11 per prescription under the government program. But many drugs are not covered and are shockingly expensive, re-

ported Susan Eng, vice-president of advocacy with CARP. “A lot of drugs are not covered in the plan and the ones not covered are expensive. In Ontario, people could fall between the cracks,” she said. “Biologics, for example, are very, very expensive.” Biologic drugs are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, particularly conditions that affect seniors, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and diabetes. It’s expected the use of biologics among seniors will grow by approximately 20 per cent in the next decade, the Canadian Generic Pharmaceutical Association reports. Across Canada, dental and vision care are major health costs for seniors, together accounting for more than 75 per cent of their health care spending. They also need funds to pay for other professionals such as chiropractors, massage therapists, physiotherapists and podiatrists. If a senior is retired or works at a job without health insurance benefits, many health costs come directly outof-pocket. One option for retirees is to purchase private insurance, but even that is prohibitively expensive. Blue Cross health insurance coverage for a 65-year-old Ontario man who is a non-smoker costs $85 a month for basic coverage. That monthly fee jumps to $117 for regular coverage and $147 for extended coverage. Basic coverage includes ambulance service, nursing care, dental work and partial payments towards sessions with a registered

podiatrist, physiotherapist, massage therapist and chiropractor. Blue Cross does not cover prescription drugs after age 65 because seniors in this province qualify for the Ontario Drug Benefit. A dental exam and diagnosis costs $65, according to the Ontario Dental Association’s 2014 fee schedule. Need dental X-rays? A complete set of 12 images costs $123. Cleaning and polishing your teeth costs a minimum of $55. If a senior has a crown that needs to be restored, the suggested cost is $685. Root canal therapy begins at $441. Dentures start at $751 for the upper palate and $956 for lower teeth. Seniors 65 and older pay just under $50 for an eye test. Should a senior need a chiropractor, massage therapy, physiotherapy or a podiatrist, those costs are not paid by OHIP. Seniors must pay for those services out-of-pocket or through private insurance. A visit to the chiropractor costs up to $140 for a 40-minute session, the 2014 Ontario Chiropractic Association Fee Schedule suggests. A detailed exam can cost between $140 and $280. A massage delivered by a registered massage therapist costs $38 for 15 minutes and $102 for an hour. Seniors 65 and older may be eligible for publicly funded physiotherapy with a doctor’s referral, the Ontario government’s health services branch reports. See THE COSTS, page 40

Senior tsunami

News - With life expectancy increasing, seniors must plan for a longer retirement. The number of centenarians increased 22 per cent between 2001-06 to 4,635. And indeed, that number is expected to triple by 2031. Within three years, Ontario seniors will outnumber are population of youth aged 15 and younger. To prepare for the influx of seniors the Ontario government is working to provide more

home care for seniors, among other initiatives. Minister Responsible for Seniors Affairs Mario Sergio, 73, is also pushing for an increase in the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and calling on the federal government to help. “Financially, unless either the province and the feds come on board and find a way to help seniors save more money to retire they are going to be a huge burden on government, provincial and federal,” he said. “There is a tsunami coming.”

The costs in your retirement years Continued from page 39

A single senior with a yearly net income less than $16,018 or a senior couple whose combined net annual income is less than $24,175 or a senior on Ontario Works or the Ontario Disability Support Program, living in long-term care or receiving home care pay no deductible and only $2 per prescription ﬁlled. Ensuring Ontarians have access to drugs they need regardless of cost is one of 169 recommendations contained in a 2012 report entitled “Living Longer, Living Well,” that’s intended to inform a Seniors Strategy for Ontario. Then there is the matter of how Ontarians will afford their care as they age. According to Statistics Canada, the median after-tax income for seniors over the age of 65 in 2010 was $26,185. Besides medical expenses, this money must also cover costs

May 14th is Children and Youth in Care Day On March 25th 2014, Honourable David Onley, Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, granted royal assent to Bill 53, An Act to Proclaim Children and Youth in Care Day. This day brings attention to the enormous contributions that children and youth in and leaving care make to the province, as well as the strength, bravery and resilience they demonstrate in the face of adversity. This is our opportunity to raise awareness about children and youth in care and to recommit to supporting them and helping them reach their full potential.

such as housing, food, transportation, social events and communication. Some 92 per cent of Canadian seniors aged 65 and older live in private dwellings, Statistics Canada’s 2011 Census reported. In doing so, this often requires the added costs of installing accessibility aids or hiring a live-in housekeeper. To minimize costs, some seniors choose to open their home to another person in exchange for light household chores and cheap rent. Seniors living in subsidized housing pay either 30 per cent of their income (rent geared to income) or 20 per cent below market rent (affordable housing), depending on the housing arrangement. What their maximum income can be and how they apply varies by district and municipality throughout the province. Others choose to spend their golden years

in a retirement home. There are 700 such facilities in Ontario, from townhouses to apartments, providing a variety of services and lifestyles for seniors from living with no assistance to in-home care. At an average cost of $3,204 per unit per month, it’s an expense that’s well above an entire monthly budget of $2,182 for those living on $26,185 or less per year. When seniors are no longer able to live on their own or require more intensive care than a live-in caregiver can provide, many opt to move into a long-term care home (LTC). A LTC home provides 24-hour services and care and is often where seniors will live out their life. Rates at the homes are regulated by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care at $1,707.59 a month for a basic room with subsidies available from the government. Semi-private or private rooms cost more. In 2011-12, the median time to be on a wait list for a long-term care room was 98 days.

This month, the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) is celebrating the strength and resilience of approximately 600 children and youth in care. CASO becomes involved with families in the community when there may be a concern that a child or youth is at risk of abuse or neglect. Though 90% of the time children and youth remain within their family home, there are circumstances that may prevent this. Situations may warrant that a child or youth be removed from their home for a short period of time until the environment is improved, some remain in care on an extended basis, and still others are adopted into new families. While their life paths are different than those of their peers, they face many of the same hurdles and challenges, and share the same hopes and dreams. The strength they have developed is admirable.

Drumming and singing fill gym at St. Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Aboriginal drumming and singing filled the gymnasium at St. Stephen Catholic School in Stittsville last Friday. The school-wide assembly saw numerous students get the opportunity to play an aboriginal drum, rattle or sticks as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace Flameâ&#x20AC;? aboriginal group brought along with them a great number of such aboriginal instruments. They were laid out on blankets that were set up in a circle, with the students and their teachers surrounding this inner circle where the aboriginal visitors led the drumming and singing. In the centre of it all was the giant â&#x20AC;&#x153;peace flameâ&#x20AC;? drum at which many students, in small groups, would get the opportunity to drum along with Liz Stein, a member of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peace Flameâ&#x20AC;? group. Students were encouraged to share the various drums, rattles and sticks so that as many students as possible had the opportunity to participate in the drumming. Among the songs sung during this assembly were â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Willow Song,â&#x20AC;? a soft, gentle song which celebrates the trunk, roots and branches of the tree and the Mother Earth song with words like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mother, I feel you under my feet.â&#x20AC;? Other songs included the Water Song, a fun song that is sung because of the importance of water which is

needed to survive; the Buffalo Song which celebrates the buffalo which provides not only food but also clothing from its hide; the Eagle Song, celebrating the eagle which is special to aboriginal people, just like the wolf and buffalo are; and an honour song honouring the Apache nation, which featured a heartbeat rhythm. Two other highlights of this assembly were the recitation of an aboriginal story and a round dance involving all of the students. The story involved an aboriginal tale about how on clan chose the animal which would be its spirit guide. One clan choose the buffalo, another choose the deer and another choose the eagle, as the story goes. One clan was slow getting going out to find an appropriate animal and when the warrior doing the hunting did go, he ran into a spider web. Upon reflection, he suggested that the spider be the clanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit animal and once the rationale had been explained, the spider was chosen by the clan. It was argued that while the buffalo has to roam all day long in order to eat and while the eagle and deer are both hunted, the spider has both food and water come to him as dew collects on the spider web for water and other animals are caught in the web for food. This makes the spider a good model to serve as the clanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spirit guide. The assembly wound up with a round dance like those held at ab-

original social events. Two huge circles with students and teachers handin-hand moved clockwise around the gym, side-stepping to move along as they also sung. St. Stephen Catholic School principal Bob Santos, in his windup re-

marks at the assembly, noted how the circle was used for all of the aboriginal drumming and singing because a circle allows everyone to be an equal. He noted the message which the singing gave about Mother Earth,

adding that St. Stephen was an Eco School, conscious of the environment. He reminded the students that everyone has the responsibility to take care of the school and the earth and everything that God has given to people.

New ‘Budding Life’ exhibition at owaa gallery John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - “Mountain Spring.” “Fly Away Home.” “Mallard Duck.” “Egret.” “Purple Rapture.” “Renewal.” “Eruption.” “Go With Wind.” “Opposites Attract.” These are but just some of the titles for the art now on display at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville as part of the new “Budding Life” exhibition there. This “Budding Life” exhibition, which opened last Saturday, will run through to Friday, July 4. “Mountain Spring” is an oil painting by Louise Barker which shows a watercourse tumbling down an incline with forest and vegetation on the shorelines. “Fly Away Home” is a close-up black and white photograph by Gordon Chapman which has captured a bird flying off a hand holding seeds. “Mallard Duck”, a photograph by John Edkins, shows not only the duck but also the duck’s reflection in the water. “Egret,” an acrylic by Roseanne Frachin, focuses on the

big white, long legged heron while “Purple Rapture” is a colour photograph by Beverly Lafortune which shows not only purple flowers but postflowering seed pods as well. “Renewal” by photographer Sylvie Sabourin is another floral photograph, showing upclose pink and purple flowers bursting forth. “Eruption” is a spectacular acrylic by Soraya Silvestri “Zizi” which features a volcanic-like burst flowing upwards. “Go With Wind,” an acrylic by Sonia Tavares, is an intricate arrangement of swirls, circles and more, featuring yellows, reds and blacks, giving the image of wind. Evidence of the wind is shown with the dresses of women cascading and ballooning in one area of the painting. “Opposite Attract” is an intriguing mixed media work by Kat McClure which features geometric lines and shapes with an almost three-dimensional aspect. Its brown/beige/ black colours give it a unique look. But this “Budding Life” exhibition had more! The title of Inge Whelan’s oil painting “Roses & Vase” said it all – it showed yellow

and white roses in a vase. “Finally Spring,” an oil painting by Trudy Daley, portrays that Central Experimental Farm scene – green grass, a row of red and yellow tulips and a line of trees in blossom. Aw, yes, springtime at the Farm! “Summer Sentinels,” a watercolour by Elizabeth (Betty) Sullivan, is a bright floral scene featuring red, green and yellow. It’s visually happy! “Fall Chickadee” is another of Stephen Harrison’s photographs on dye-infused aluminum, a process which brings a clarity and brilliance to his work that just makes the finished product eye-catching. This one is a close up of a chickadee sitting on a branch. And if you want eye-catching, you should check out Gerald Smith’s acrylic “Floating Circle #2,” a startling work which features horizontal lines of different colours going through an overarching circle. The colours of the rainbow have nothing on this multi-coloured piece of art. “Cosmic Life,” an acrylic by Salena Richard, also has an impact. It is not colourful like Gerald Smith’s “Flaoting Circle #2,” but it attracts the eye with its more foreboding

blue and black colours, with all of the sight lines drawn to the turbulent vortex at the centre of the painting. While totally unrelated, “Fluorescents,” a fluid acrylic by Sheila Turner-Whalen, and “Small Town From Above,” a photograph by Josef Pittner, both give a perspective from above. “Fluroescents” is a circular image that gives the viewer the impression of looking down on the earth from outer space. And speaking of looking down on a scene, “Small Town From Above” is just that – an aerial photograph showing a collection of buildings in a community, with a harvested yellow field close by. While not a scene from above, Alain Bernard’s oil painting “La flueriste de San Francisco” depicts a flower shop along a street which is laden with flowers of all colours across its exterior front. And again at this Ottawa West Arts Association exhibition, there is one of Michael Goguen’s inventive oil paintings, this one called “The Great Gates of Kiev.” This large painting is a typical Goguen creation, with a floating castle, an airship, a moon and planets and a gated city

with domed buildings. Vera Van Baaren’s acrylic painting “When Mommy Isn’t Looking” portrays a young girl grabbling a plant at an orchid show as her mother is looking elsewhere. “Workers Hands,” a black and white photograph by Bruce Malmberg, shows two gnarled hands clasped together. All of these paintings in the new exhibition “Budding Life” at the owaa gallery are not only for viewing enjoyment but all are for sale as well with prices ranging from $100 to $1,475. The exhibition will be on display until Friday, July 4. Those taking in

the exhibition should make a point of filling out a People’s Choice ballot identifying your favourite work in the exhibition. The artists enjoy receiving this feedback and topping the People’s Choice balloting is considered quite an honour by the artists involved. Just fill out a ballot indicating which pieces of art is your favourite in the exhibition and drop the ballot into the box on the display case at the gallery. The owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., the same hours at the Complex itself.

‘Magician’s Box’ tops People’s Choice balloting John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - The people have spoken and Sonia Tavares acrylic painting entitled “Magician’s Box” grabbed first place in the People’s Choice balloting for the exhibition “The Awakening” which wound up at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville last Friday. “Magician’s Box” features a couple of facial vignettes as well as one of an arm and a hand. It is populated with circles and squares with red and black vertical lines on a white background. It deserved to be seen and it obviously was, as it captured the most ballots for favourite painting in the exhibition.

Second place in the People’s Choice balloting for “The Awakening” exhibition went to Beverley Lafortune for her black and white photograph entitled “Sun Streaks.” This photo created an almost silhouetted view of a farmstead with its barns, silo and farm house, all under a sky of clouds pierced by light. Third place was shared by three artists: Patrick Bourke, Michael Goguen and Stephen Harrison. Patrick Bourke’s photograph called “Time Served” was a view of a derelict vehicle. Michael Goguen’s painting “The Old Castle” featured a castle on a rocky hillside while Stephen Harrison’s black and white photograph called “Death Aquatic” portrayed an array of vertical lines and

featured fish shapes. Those who view exhibitions at the owaa gallery are urged to fill out a ballot in the People’s Choice voting which takes place for each exhibition. Just fill out a ballot indicating which piece of art is your favourite in the exhibition and drop the ballot into the ballot box on the display case at the gallery. It’s easy to do and the artists really enjoy learning the results after each exhibition. It provides them with much appreciated input and feedback, particularly from those who put a brief comment on the ballot about what appealed to them about the work. The new exhibition at the owaa gallery, “Budding Life,” will be on display until Friday, July 4.

Gymnasium becomes magical underwater kingdom John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - The gymnasium at Goulbourn Middle School became a magical underwater kingdom last week as the musical “The Little Mermaid Jr.” was presented. The production involved 100 students and nine staff members with countless family members helping, all to tell the story of the mermaid Ariel who longs to leave her ocean home under the sea with her aquatic friends and live in the world above. In so doing, she disobeys her father King Triton, makes an ill-advised contract with the wicked sea witch Ursula and had to advise the handsome Prince Eric that although voiceless, she is the girl with the captivating voice which has intrigued him. Not only were students involved in singing, drama and dancing related to the production but students and parents were involved in preparing costumes, set design, props and audio-visual and lighting technical support. “The Little Mermaid Jr”, adapted from Disney’s 2008 Broadway production of “The Little Mermaid,” features such songs as “Part of Your World,” “She’s in Love,” and “Under the Sea.” The story itself goes back to 1837 when it was written as a fairy tale by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen about a young mermaid willing to give up her life in the sea and her identity as a mermaid to gain a human soul and the love of a human price. In 1989, this fairy tale was adapted into an animated film by the Walt Disney Studio, known as “The Little Mermaid.” It was in 2008 that the stage version of this Disney

film opened on Broadway. Goulbourn Middle School presented “The Little Mermaid Jr.” four times – twice on Wednesday, April 30 and twice again on Thursday, May 1. Each day saw a performance for a student audience as well as an evening performance for parents and family members. The production include 16 musical numbers and was performed under the overall direction of teachers Barb Friesen and Jen Shipley. Music directors were Jennifer Thompson and Karen Wiggins while the choreographers were Barb Friesen and Jen Shipley. Grace Arthur was the stage manager while Nicole MacLaren was in charge of set design. Steve Wolf, Mike Mahon and Denise Zutrauen looked after set and prop construction. Lesley Andrews was in charge of costume design while Jennifer Thompson oversaw the lighting and tech crew. As far as the student cast members go, Emma Richardson played the role of Ariel while Liam McGuire was Prince Eric. Others in the cast included Simon Van Der Loo as the pilot; Ben Seibel, Cameron Luckasavitch, Ben Carrothers, Thomas MacKay and Thomas Vanderwyst as the sailors and chefs; Jacob Schroeder as Grimsby; Camryn Gallagher as the seahorse; Jacob Ferguson as Kim Triton; Olivia Brown as Sebastian; Olivia Bradey as Aquata; Julie Beattie as Andrina; Zoe Ivanchenko as Arista; Jaidan Stockill as Atina; Darby O’Neill as Adella; Tina Johnston as Allana; Christianne Bonhomme as the flounder; Caroline Frost as Scuttle; Jenna Querengesser, So-

phie Green, Celeste Faltas, Irelynd Tackabury, Chloe Chiasson, Maiah Lodu and Rylie McDowell as the gulls; Kathryn Reid as Ursula; Bavisha Thurairajah, Nadhira Saparno, Areena Akhter, Jess Bell and Emily Toswell as the tentacles; Jenny Donoghue, Ashley Judge, Ariana Puri, Layla Craig, Lin Ajayi, Rachel Montgomery, Brenna Kelly, Paytton Ronayne, Keeva Lynk, Shannon Arthurs, Rowan Kemp, Robyn Flanders, Hailey Simpson, Yukta Shah, Kenzie Lorraine and Amy DeBoer as the Merfolk and Sea Chorus; Max Bergwerff as Flotsam; Juliet Maniloff as Jetsam; Kaitlyn deMoree as Carlotta; Brandon Laplante as Chef Louis; and Olivia Bradey, Julie Beattie, Zoe Ivanchenko, Jaidan Stockill, Darby O’Neill and Tina Johnston as the Princesses.

Telling the biblical story of Zacchaeus John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - Stittsville United Church became the ancient city of Jericho last weekend. This was because Jericho was the setting for the musical “What’s Up, Zak?” which was presented at the church three times over the weekend, telling the biblical story of Zacchaeus through music, drama and dance – and even some humour! So you had the theme music from TV’s Jeopardy show playing as the mayor of Jericho and the “Party Planning Associates” searched for the name of the VIP (Very Important Prophet) who was going to be visiting Jericho on that “Not So Very Ordinary Day.” And you had the beggars and street children banished to the area beyond the city’s gates, an area which “Pug Rug” businessman Dave Newar (yes, he and his family used their real names and identities in the musical) referred to as “Just Beyond The Fringe,” a phrase well known to Stittsville residents as the motto of the once-bustling Dilawri auto dealership in the village. And the present met the past in references throughout the performance, such as when rug merchant Dave Newar was trying at a Sunday performance to remove a chain from Zacchaeus and Zak’s mobile microphone was going along for the ride and so Dave quipped that he didn’t want that microphone – it wasn’t “gold” like the chain. When Zacchaeus sang with the two other Roman tax collectors, Rebecca and Rachel, the two girls were strumming on props that were portraying modern-day electric guitars. And the “Yes Men,” who were, as their name suggests, “yes men” to the mayor of Jericho, played similar guitars when they celebrated. But mixing the past with the present at times only added to the enjoyment, as did the audience participation as bells were distributed throughout the audience so that they could be rung to celebrate the arrival of Jesus. The audience also took part when “Amazing Grace” was sung. Several members of the audience were even asked at one point in the musical if they were the VIP who was coming to Jericho that day, all of whom, it turned out, said that they were named “Bob.” And all this took place in a church that was transformed into Jericho through elaborate sets depicting the gates of Jericho, the rug merchant’s shop and Zacchaeus’ house. There were palm trees located throughout the pews and the piece de resistance, as it were, was a giant sycamore tree at the rear of the church which Zacchaeus actually climbed during the performance to get a view of Jesus arriving in Jericho. Indeed, the Jericho of biblical times

was known as the “City of Palm Trees” and also boasted many sycamore trees which provided more shad from the hot sun than palm trees. The performances were filled with songs and music, all provided by a group of musicians under the direction of Allison Houston – a group of musicians which a reformed Zacchaeus near the end of the play engaged as his “house band” of the future. These musicians included David Morrisette on drums, Tobi Dumoulin on piano and saxophone, Carlo Cote on bass and electric guitar, Ryan Hutchinson on beat box and saxophone and Claire Aberdeen and Sarah Daly on piano for the song “Count on Me.” Songs in the musical included “Not So Very Ordinary Day,” “Party in Jericho,” “Zaky’s The Man,” “Count on Me,” “Open The Eyes Of My Heart,” Amazing Grace,” “Someone Like Me,” “I Just Have To See,” “Restore Me” and “He Changes Everything.” In the musical, Zacchaeus goes from being a ruthless, hard-hearted tax collector, who was reviled by the Jericho community, to being one who cared about others and shared with them, all because he was transformed by Jesus and His love, given even to a person as despised and hated as Zacchaeus. The role of Zacchaeus was performed by Ben Rhody while Paul Thompson played the role of Jesus. The Pug Rug family merchants were Dave Newar as dad, Heather Newar as mom, Sasha Newar as herself, namely daughter Sasha, and Ben Newar as himself, the son Ben. And who could forget Gus the Pug, the Newar’s dog who lent his name to the family business and who was on stage throughout the play, quietly just being there. He’s quite a dog! Greg Chennette played the role of the mayor of Jericho while his “Yes Men” were Liam Lawford, Evan Peterson, Callum Thompson, Christian LeMadec, Sammy Houston and Rev. Grant Dillenbeck. The “Party Girls” who planned parties were Amanda Moore, Gillian McCracken, Grace Lawford, MacKenzie Byce, Lydia Peterson, Fiona Thompson and Alicia Byce. Jenny McCracken and Sarah Houston were the two Roman tax collectors while Verlie Houston was Bartimaeus, the blind beggar whose sight was restored by Jesus. The beggars and street children included, among others, Amy mesdag, Kelli Byce, Laura Lilly, Hannah Lilly, Austin Lilly, Megan Dillenbeck, Mae Weese, Alice McLean, Parker Byce, Charlie Derrick, Simon Daly, Bryenah Bennett, Hannah McQueen, Sasha McQueen and Kate McDonald with members of the church’s primary and beginner Sunday School classes.

Myron Mills was the gentleman from Jericho. Members of the choir chorus in this musical were Edie Anderson, Larisa Beach, Don Carson, Alanna Code, Sarah Daly, Rev. Grant Dillenbeck, Kevin Houston, Mae McCarthy, Mary Roe and Sid Toutah. Wardrobe and makeup were handled by Bonnie Lamb, Ann Murray and Dana Ducette while Wray Lamb and Mike Lamb looked after the sound and lighting. The set design creator was Rick Gourlie while members of the set construction crew were Dave Newar, Ben Newar, Sasha Newar, Heather Newar, Trisha Lamb, Katy Lamb, Amy Mesdag, Bonnie Lamb, Hannah Daly, Sarah Daly, Gordon Hagar, Ruth Richardson, Rev. Grant Dillenbeck, Frank Argue, Alanna Code, Annette Ihaksi, Kelly Byce, Paul Thompson, Parker Byce, Ian Frei, Allison Houston, Tobi Dumoulin, Marlee Mayors, Terron Mayors, Nathan Stevens-Cocco and others. Script writers, lyricists and editors included Kim Ingram, Joe Milton, Bruno Mars, Paul Baloche, John Newton, Ruth Richardson, Sasha Newar and Avory Johnson. Allison Houston was the musical director while the artistic directors were Ruth Richardson and Sasha Newar.

At the conclusion of last Sunday afternoon’s performance, the final one, the cast presented Ruth Richardson with an Amy Mesdag painting which included logo references to all of the musical productions which Stittsville United Church has presented in recent years. It also included references to Joseph and also the Arc, perhaps two suggestions for future musicals? This musical, as with the others that have been presented at the church, is made possible thanks to donations received from a free will offering. No funds from the annual budget of the church are used for these musicals. The musical is intended to be a “fun-raiser,” not a “fundraiser.” Total cost, though, including sound and light rentals and the purchase of music, decorations and costumes, is about $3,000. This musical “What’s Up, Zak?” was presented to nurture faith and build community within the congregation; to inspire and challenge people regarding their involvement and talents; to be inter-generational, inclusive and flexible; to provide a creative and fun opportunity for a short-term church commitment; and to tell the story of Zacchaeus which reminds everyone that the love of God can transform lives and enable everyone to share their love with others.

THE “ROOFTOP BABIES” Just rescued 5 little fur balls with their mother from a roof top... they kept falling down and mommy retrieving and bringing them up. They are about 3-4 weeks old... tabbies, black/white and black babies. We thought if you could see them now, fall in love and when they are old enough to leave the nest it would be a lovely arrangement and you could be involved in their lives and wait for them with anticipation. Yes we are partial to them but they are awfully pretty and cuddly... Give a call and jump in your car and visit them... they will steal your heart.

‘Time, Talent & Treasures’ auction John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

News - A capacity crowd ﬁlled the basement hall at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Stittsville last Saturday evening to take part in the live “Time, Talent & Treasures” auction raising funds for the church’s accessibility project. Colin McKeown served as the auctioneer as he has done at previous “T,T & T” events, while his wife Heather once again served as St. Andrew’s version of Vanna White of “Wheel of Fortune” fame. Heather carried the item being auctioned off around the hall as Colin called

for bids. And what a variety of items, about 100, that were up for bidding in this auction. There were even a number of homemade pies that were auctioned off just before the half time intermission break. Besides numerous gift certiﬁcates ranging from restaurants to yoga to hair cuts to pizzas to hair styling to massage, the auction features a variety of items, the diversity of which revealed the widespread support which the church had received for this event from the business and wider community. These ranged from Gant sunglasses from Stittsville Optometry to screened topsoil donated by Ron Moore Equipment Ltd. to an oil

painting by artist Kevin Dodds to a season of snow removal from Adam Kittle to an Ottawa Senators jersey donated by Rick Pro Sports to a special edition Barbie doll donated by Kondruss Galleries to a gift certificate for tickets to the Ron Maslin Theatre. There were numerous gift baskets including a so-called “Honey bee” gift basket with jars of honey, beeswax candles and other related items, a gift basket with a selection of teas and candles among other items, a gift basket containing ice cream sundae dishes and toppings from Brown’s Your Independent Grocer along with a gift certificate from Beyond The Batter Cupcakes, a gift basket containing coffee and tea donated by Timothy’s Coffee World along with a hair cut donated by Heads Up Barber Shop, a summer gift basket with candles, a thermal jug, flower vase and more donated by the Allard family, and a socalled Canada Day gift basket with iconic Canadian items like a gift card from Tim Hortons, maple syrup, maple leaf cookies, Canada Day flags and more. And there were some unique items such as a sermon of “your choice” donated by Rev. Doug Kendall; consultation and preparation of two basic wills and powers of attorney for property and personal care donated by lawyers Arbique

and Ahde; and a certificate donated by Huntley Presbyterian Cemetery for the opening and closing of one niche in the new Columnbarium or open and closing of a plot. But whether it was a beveled mirror, a trunk mounted bicycle carrier, jars of jam, paintings, a baby crib quilt, a ceiling light fixture, a flowered blouse, a crystal bowl, a camping chair, an electric warming tray, an electric toothbrush, deck stain, a fly fishing rod, or tickets to a Michael Buble concert, it was not hard to discover something of interest going under the gavel at this event. Auctioneer Colin McKeown explained before beginning that it has now been over ten years that St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church has been working towards making the church full accessible, not only to benefit the congregation but also the community at large as various community groups like the Scouts use the church facility. This accessibility project includes an addition at the current rear of the church which not only will make the church fully accessible but also will include a fellowship area and office space. Mr. McKeown said that the hope is that ground can be broken on the project this month.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Assembly For Changeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

News - Students at A. Lorne Cassidy Elementary School in Stittsville have used performance skills to get across their anti-bulling message and how things can change. It all happened on Wednesday, April 30 when grade eight students presented an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Assembly For Changeâ&#x20AC;? in which they used their musical, dance and other performance skills as vehicles with which to deliver an antibullying message. It was not a talent show but was simply JOHN CURRY/METROLAND using their performance talents to convey a message of Wearing masks as they perform in the Assembly For Change at A.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bring back play this summer Spring is finally here and with it, the sounds of laughter and kids playing are in the air once again. Bike rides, shooting hoops and playground fun are just some of the ways kids get active in the spring and summer months. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing too, because recent reports show that Canadian kids just arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t getting enough exercise. According to the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology, kids should get at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every single day. Unfortunately, for many children that simply isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case. This spring and summer, consider enrolling your child in an organized sport or physical

activity, such as soccer, baseball, swimming or cricket. Freida Rubletz, Regional Manager, Jumpstart Programs Greater Toronto Area, Canadian Tire Jumpstart, explains that in addition to the physical benefits, organized play also helps to:

The assembly included an â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Memoryâ&#x20AC;? video which showed pictures and gave the name and age of people who had been hurt by the actions of others. The video included people of all ages, from the age of 14 right up to the senior years. Six girls recited the poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Say It Again,â&#x20AC;? did a dance/ poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Star,â&#x20AC;? presented a play â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Too Late,â&#x20AC;? and recited another poem â&#x20AC;&#x153;Me.â&#x20AC;?

Home &Garden Beams can provide character Decorating your home Lifestyle - If you have them, you might not know what to do with them, and if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have them, you might wish you did. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done right, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing quite like exposed beams to enhance the cachet of a room. Would you love to incorporate this architectural feature in your home but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the grandiose budget to match? Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the solution. First of all, you can find fake wood beams on the market. Made of polyurethane or polystyrene, they are

much more affordable than a solid wood beam. Even better, you can create a false beam at a fraction of the price by using MDF (fibreboard) panels. The first step in making a false beam is to cut three strips of MDF of the same width; typically, they range from 15 to 20 cm. Next, glue and nail them on 5-by7 cm wood uprights. The goal is to build a three-sided box, the fourth side being the ceiling. Now all you have to do is paint

or stain the beams according to the look you want to give the room: pale, dark, or natural. It is possible to give your beams the look of natural wood by creating a grain with a woodgraining tool or rocker. MDF with a wood grain finish is also available in stores. The addition of false beams should be done sparingly in order not to give the room a heavy look. Of course, the ceiling should also be high enough to lend itself to this imposing architectural style.

Lifestyle - Decorating an open area in the home isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always easy. In fact, harmonizing the different zones can be quite a challenge. Here are a few tips to get you started. * Choose your style. First of all, choose a style that will be used throughout this open area. Do you prefer a contemporary, traditional, or country look? If you decide to create an eclectic look by using a mix of styles, you might be setting yourself up for a complicated task; a blend of styles has to be carefully thought out and executed with caution, or

Have Your Best Garden Ever in 2014 Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret that a great garden starts with great soil. Soil is a source of nutrients, air and water essen al to the establishment of healthy root systems in plants; but its supply is not inďŹ nite. A neglected soil is far less likely to yield the results you are looking for in your perfect garden. Over me your soil can become nutrient deďŹ cient, compacted or thin which can make it diďŹ&#x192;cult to grow and lead to poor plant health. A great soil is rich in nutrients, pH balanced and has excellent lth, allowing for easy air and water ďŹ&#x201A;ow. Furthermore, a great soil should also be built up enough to allow your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots plenty of room to grow deep and thus access more water and nutrients. How can you take a red, dull soil and turn it into a great soil? This can be accomplished using a number of techniques. One of the easiest ways to improve such a soil is by using an amendment or enhancer that is made up in large part of organic ma er. Soil amendments are designed to be mixed in with exis ng soils to bolster areas in need of improvement.

The ideal me to introduce organic ma er into your growing areas is in the late Fall. This allows the beneďŹ cial microorganisms in your soil more me to become ac ve before gardening season arrives. While in a perfect world we would all earmark some me for soil amending before the frost, for many of us, our ďŹ&#x201A;ower beds are far from priority number one when the cold weather starts to set in.

the space will end up looking like a mishmash of disparate objects. * Create zones. Decide how you want to use your open area and create activity zones by grouping furniture according to its use. Define the zones by creating visual separations with elements such as rugs, plants, a table, or a sofa. Decorative elements, such as woodwork or mouldings, can also help define a space. * Decide on a colour scheme. Colour is an important element in any open area, as it unifies disparate elements to form a whole.

mineralize the organic nutrients giving your plants more food for healthy growth. Each component in this mix contributes par cles of diďŹ&#x20AC;erent sizes and shapes. This results in improved airďŹ&#x201A;ow and drainage and reduces the risk of over compac on. The organicbased soil will also provide excellent water reten on; something your plantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roots will really appreciate.

Not to worry though! Even if you missed the window last Fall, you can s ll get more out of your soil this Spring. There are great products on the market that can make a real diďŹ&#x20AC;erence in the results you see from your garden this year, including Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premium Lawn and Garden Soil â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which can be conveniently delivered right to your driveway in an easy-to-store cubic yard bag.

Giving your best garden ever the head start it deserves isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rocket science. Follow these easy steps for best results: Step one - determine how much soil you need. Keep in mind that you should aim to maintain at least a 6â&#x20AC;? soil depth (pro p â&#x20AC;&#x201C; top oďŹ&#x20AC; your growing areas with 2â&#x20AC;? of soil every Fall to make up for soil loss caused by erosion, etc.). Step two - go get your soil, or be er yet, have it delivered without the mess or hassle. Step three - ll or turn over the exis ng soil in your growing areas. Step four - add in your soil mix and ensure that your beds reach the appropriate depth. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that easy.

Manderleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soil mix is a 100% natural product consis ng of black earth, organic fer lizer, compost, sand and lime. The organic content in the mix is quite high, which promotes microbial ac vity in your growing area. Microorganisms will work hard to

Understanding the importance of maintaining a healthy soil is the ďŹ rst step in reaching your garden goals for 2014. By following these four steps and giving your plants proper care throughout the gardening season, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at the diďŹ&#x20AC;erence.

Natural light

Lifestyle - Maximizing natural light when building or renovating a home has many advantages. Not only is natural light better for us but it also reduces the need for energy-consuming artificial lighting. Because Canadians spend much of the winter inside, exposure to good quality lighting is an important factor in keeping healthy. Variations in light affect hormone levels and biological cycles; scientific studies even show that adequate natural lighting at work can increase productivity and reduce absenteeism. Natural

Lifestyle - Decorative bricks (or faux bricks) are more affordable than regular bricks and are gaining in popularity as a decorative element for homes. And best of all, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a qualified stone mason in order to lay them. Preparation Decorative bricks are usually laid on plywood or plasterboard. Clean the underlying surface thoroughly and apply a primer if necessary. In some cases, the addition of a layer of wire mesh may be necessary. It goes without saying that the wall surface or floor should be level before you begin work. Installation Spread the glue with a notched trowel over one small area at a time, starting at the bottom of the wall. Place the bricks, leaving an equal space between each of them and ensuring that the joints are offset from one row to the next. Check frequently to ensure that the row of bricks is level. Use a miter saw fitted with a ceramic blade for cutting the bricks at the end of the rows. Recuperate the remnants to start a new row. Brick corners, used to cover the corners of three dimensional objects, such as those on a mantelpiece, are also available on the market. Now all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left to do is to fill the joints with mortar according to the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions.

Lifestyle - Kitchens are the heart of the home; they are where we prepare our meals, sit down to eat together, and entertain family and friends. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to have a functional kitchen, one that reflects our tastes as well as the latest trends in interior design. Unfortunately, a complete kitchen makeover means turning that room into a major construction site. So how can you realize your dream of a kitchen renovation without demolishing everything? Here are a few solutions for brightening up your kitchen, quickly and easily. * Replace the cabinet hardware: simply replacing your old handles with a more up-todate style can change the look of the cabinets at very little cost. * Change the faucets: exchange your leaky old taps for a new mixer faucet. Single-hole, professional style faucets are still in all the showrooms. Choose a good quality model, as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be putting it to a lot of use. * Install a backsplash: installing a ceramic tile, molten glass, metal, or decorative stone backsplash changes the look of any kitchen in the blink of an eye. This is a project that can be completed quickly but with astonishing effect; your kitchen will be brought up to date in a flash! * Replace the lights: lights play a key role in any functional kitchen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing worse than a poorly lit work surface. A good choice is to opt for adjustable spotlights, which can be

directed where you most need them, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s towards the counter, the stove, or the sink. Pendant lights over the dining table are also an important feature. Choose a model that will add some wow factor to your new kitchen. * Transform cabinet doors: you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily have to rip out your old cupboards and replace them with new ones to transform the look of your kitchen. You could just replace the doors if the casings are still in a good state of repair. And if the doors are also in good repair, you could keep them and just have them refaced. That means having the doors and all visible surfaces recovered with a wood veneer or other material. This solution is very practical, as the refacing is done in a factory and your kitchen will remain pristine and functional throughout the renovation work. Another advantage of refacing is that it will save you a lot of money. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing to prevent you from adding a glass door or shaker style mouldings, which can also transform the look of your kitchen cabinets. Lastly, if you have old, solid wood cabinets (probably in nonstandard sizes), the best solution is to simply paint them. Your choice of colour and finish are virtually limitless. * Paint the walls: painting is always a great solution for transforming your kitchen, and it involves very little cost. Choose light tones that reflect the light and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll turn your kitchen into a place where the whole family will want to spend time together.

Lifestyle - Your dream is to have a ceramic floor in your new kitchen, and because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a do-it-yourself sort of person, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about installing it yourself. Why not? Here are the steps you should follow in order for this project to be a success. Material and tools: â&#x20AC;˘ ceramic floor tiles â&#x20AC;˘ adhesive cement â&#x20AC;˘ groutâ&#x20AC;˘ spacers â&#x20AC;˘ sealant â&#x20AC;˘ grout float â&#x20AC;˘ chalk line â&#x20AC;˘ tile cutter â&#x20AC;˘ rubber mallet â&#x20AC;˘ tape measure â&#x20AC;˘ level â&#x20AC;˘ ceramic tile nipper â&#x20AC;˘ bucket â&#x20AC;˘ notched trowel â&#x20AC;˘ grout sponge 1. Check the condition of the subfloor The surface under the ceramic tiles has to be suitable for your project to be a success. If it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already been done, completely remove the old floor covering and any glue. Your floor should be straight and solid. If necessary, use self-levelling cement for a smooth surface. 2. Establish your guidelines In a corner near the roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance, or near another door, position one tile, then three on each side, for a total of seven tiles in an L shape. Use spacers to evenly space your tiles. Use the outside edge of the row of tiles to draw a line parallel to the wall with the chalk line. Repeat this exercise with the other row of tiles. Remove the tiles. To ensure that the lines are perfectly perpendicular (T-square), measure 91.5 cm along one line from the corner and mark it. Then mark the other line 122 cm from the corner. The distance between these two points should be 152.5 cm, making the long side of a right angled triangle. If that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the case, correct the angle of one of the lines. 3. Mix the adhesive cement Use the type of adhesive cement recommended for your floor and your tiles. Follow

the manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recommendations. Prepare enough adhesive to be able to work for a maximum of one hour: you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want the cement to harden in the container. 4. Apply the adhesive cement Spread some adhesive cement for the first tile. With the trowel, apply enough cement on one side of your guideline to lay two or three tiles in a straight line. Continue in this way, two or three tiles at a time. Make grooves in the cement with the notched side of the trowel. 5. Laying the tiles Cover the subfloor with the tiles. Use your guidelines to ensure that the tiles are correctly positioned. The spacers will help you create even grout lines. Use the mallet to apply light pressure on any tiles that are higher than the others. Gradually remove the spacers before the cement dries. Leave to dry for 24 hours. 6. Complete the perimeter of the room You can now walk on the tiles. Decide how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to cut the tiles for the perimeter of the room. Draw a line on a tile and place it carefully on the tile cutter. After cutting all the necessary tiles, you can lay them as you did for the uncut tiles. Leave to dry for at least 24 hours. 7. Apply the grouting Wet the tiles slightly with water before applying the grout. Pour and work the grout into the gaps with a grout float. Work section by section. Use a damp grout sponge to swiftly remove any excess grout, as it dries quickly. Add more grout until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pleased with the result. Leave to dry for 24 hours. 8. Apply a sealant Apply an appropriate sealant on the grouting. Avoid spreading it on the tiles. Wait for 30 minutes and repeat the application. R0012688508

Lifestyle - Over the years, bathrooms have evolved in order to accommodate all those hurried morning showers, childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bath times, and the few moments of relaxation that are such a treat after a hard day at work. And because your bathroom may also act as a laundry room and linen closet, it may be useful to consider enlarging or renovating it. If you have the budget and the time, you might want to envisage a complete remodel, where everything is demolished and you start from zero. Alternatively, you might want to consider a more modest project, where you keep the original position of the bathroom ďŹ ttings and update the faucets, install a heated ďŹ&#x201A;oor, and add a few extra cabinets or shelves. Many people take advantage of a complete remodel to enlarge the existing bathroom by adding part of an adjacent room. Water consumption should be taken into consideration when choosing bathroom ďŹ ttings, as well as the comfort of the seat and height of the toilet. Do you prefer the standard height of between 35 and 38 cm, or the â&#x20AC;&#x153;comfortâ&#x20AC;? height, which is between 40 and 43 cm? The latter is ideal for tall people and those with back or leg problems. When shopping for faucets, opt for good quality hardware with a chrome or stainless steel ďŹ nish. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to incorporate the very latest in bathroom designs, keep in mind that recessed lighting is in style. As well as being more discreet, these ďŹ xtures also give more subdued lighting. Or how about a suspended linen closet, which can be a perfect place to store towels and beauty products? Recessed shelves in the shower are another current trend and are very useful for holding soaps and shampoos.

MARY COOK Mary Cook’s Memories Lifestyle - The signs were everywhere. Our old log house had finally taken on the look of spring, leading into summer. Although any visitor coming into the house would not be aware of the difference, it was very obvious to us who lived there. Outside, the very last smidgen of snow had long since gone. The foot path from the summer kitchen to the barn was now dry, and the mud that followed the melting snow had hardened like it did every spring. Inside, everywhere, I could see the changes that had taken us from one season to the next. Mother had pulled out the strips of rags and old wool socks that had been crammed around every window downstairs to keep out the winter drafts. Of course, these weren’t thrown away. No, they were washed, hung out on the fence to dry, and then rolled in newspapers and tucked under an upstairs bed at the ready for the next winter. The windows themselves, grimy from the long months when they were impossible to clean, were shining from the bath they took of water and vinegar. The windows were ready for the warm weather. When the cold fall weather struck months before, braided mats had been scattered all through the house: one hefty one rolled and kept tight against the back door to keep out the drafts, many others put here and there, in the hope they would help keep our feet warm from the icy cold floors that were impossible to heat up no matter how raging was the Findlay Oval. And joy, oh joy, the navy blue fleece lined bloomers had one last washing on laundry day, and they too would be tucked away. Of course, they were no longer the deep navy of a few months ago when they were fresh out of the parcel ordered from Eaton’s catalogue. Now they had faded to a pale purple, attesting to the dozens of times they had been washed over the winter. The bloomers would join the suits of long underwear and undershirts helping to keep us warm on long walks to school, and they would be packed in the hump-backed trunk that sat under the west window in the bedroom I shared with my sister Audrey.

Spring cleaning Of course Father insisted on wearing his undershirt, long sleeves and all, under his work shirt long into the summer. He gave up this combination only when Mother snatched them off the chair by his bed when he was sleeping, and when the heat of the summer had the rest of us panting. Gradually winter outerwear would be hung on the clothes line, or thrown over the wire fence in the back yard to get a good airing, always a chore for a warm sunny day. Then each piece examined by Mother, buttons replaced, seams sewn and spots removed, would be packed into a big cardboard box scrounged from Briscoe’s General Store. Between each piece of clothing, Mother would tuck in a few mothballs. When the box was put in the boys’ bedroom, the whole upstairs smelled of the mothballs. The Findlay Oval would yet be moved out into the summer kitchen. Father thought that idea was just about the craziest notion he ever heard in his life. And as soon as Mother got the itch to “turn the whole house upside down” as he called it, he began lamenting about the huge job ahead that took up the better part of a day, time better spent on the back fields. “Three generations of Hanemans have lived with the cook stove in the kitchen 12 months of the year,” he’d lament. But Mother insisted the big lumbering stove be moved to the summer kitchen, rolled out by every hand in the house on two logs, the stove pipes taken down, repainted and a smaller portion of pipe poked through a hole in the summer kitchen wall. But the biggest change to me, the one I looked forward to most, was when the parlour would be open for the summer. All winter the door which separated it from the kitchen was closed tightly, a thick braided rug jammed along the bottom of the door to keep out the cold air. You could see your breath in the parlour if you had to go in to get the Bible off the twig table, or the picture album. It was almost like the parlour was no longer part of the house. And now the door was flung wide, the one window opened to get rid of the musty smell, and the house was ready for summer. The last job was done. R0012551875

2. Avoid Food Sensitivities & Allergies: There is a strong link between high dairy consumption and skin maladies such as acne and eczema.

3. Sleep On It: Getting at least 8 hours of restful sleep a night will help repair and restore skin; the hours of sleep achieved before midnight are the most eﬀective.

This form of training also promotes fat loss. Circuit training provides more fat and calorie burning than traditional weight lifting programs. More work is performed in less time, which results in greater caloric expenditure during the workout. Lean muscle mass is also improved which in turn increases your metabolism and allows you to burn more fat throughout the day. The beneﬁts of circuit training are endless, it is a great way to lose fat mass quickly, build strength and tone, as well as improve your heart and lungs.

5. Detoxify: Cleaning from the inside out, helps to keep your hormones in check and a glow to your body and energy!

Preparation Toss the asparagus and onion with olive oil, add salt and pepper to taste, and then place it in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in a 230 C (450 F) oven for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally and turning once, until the vegetables are tender and lightly browned. Let it cool slightly and cut the asparagus into thirds. In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, jalapenos, coriander, and add salt and pepper to taste. Place two of the tortillas on baking sheet (or 2 sheets). Divide vegetables between each. Sprinkle two tbsp (25 mL) of the tomato mixture on each and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas, pressing down gently. Bake the quesadillas in a 230 C (450 F) oven for eight to 10 minutes or until the tortillas are lightly browned. Cut into wedges. Cumin lime cream: Combine the sour cream, cumin and lime juice. Serve with quesadillas and remaining tomato mixture.

Contest Winners In its ďŹ rst-ever Bright Ideas contest, Hydro Ottawa awarded $1,000 to two local schools to put towards classroom resources. Earlier this year, Hydro Ottawa introduced Bright Ideas, an electricity safety and conservation contest, to Ottawa-area elementary school students to help promote a culture of electricity safety and conservation. The Bright Ideas contest was divided into two age-appropriate parts: one aimed at students in JK to Grade 4, and the other for students in Grades 5 to 8. The contest started in the classroom, through lessons and learning activities. Students were encouraged to become ambassadors, sharing information and starting discussions with their parents, friends and neighbours as they completed their challenge. Knoxdale Public School and Katimavik Elementary School each received a grand prize in the junior and senior categories respectively. Five other classes were awarded a pizza lunch as a runner-up prize for showing their commitment to the community and environment.
