EMC news - City of Ottawa mayor Jim Watson is expected to attend this year’s annual “Artists & Authors in the Park” at Village Square Park in Stittsville. Both mayor Watson and city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri will be making guest appearances at the event which is expected to attract displays from about 40 artists and authors. This will all be happening on Sunday, May 26 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. at Village Square Park. These artists and authors will be displaying their creative works (books, paintings, drawings, sculpture, photographs, textiles and more) and will be on hand to discuss their creations with members of the public. Authors will be reading passages from their work. But there’s more. There will be a children’s tent set up featuring storytime and activities for children. See AT VILLAGE SQUARE, page 2

Howdy, partner! - How about a cowboy ballad? John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - American president Abraham Lincoln carried one in his pocket. Soldiers on both sides in the American Civil War relaxed to its melodies. Legendary frontier heroes Wyatt Earp and Billy the Kid were known to play the instrument. And it has been over the years a fixture on the musical scene for numerous genres ranging from classical to blues to country. You could ask performers such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, Huey Lewis,

Bono, Billy Joel and John Lennon and they would say yes – they all played this instrument – the simple harmonica. It’s a free reed wind instrument that can now be found around the world, although it was only developed in the early part of the 19th century. You will be able to hear and appreciate the harmonica and its unique sounds right here in Stittsville this coming Saturday when guest performer Norm Glaude will join the Goulbourn Male Chorus at its spring concert “My Heart’s in the Song.” The concert includes many romantic folk songs and ballads with a highlight

of the concert bound to be a selection of cowboy ballads on which the Male Chorus will be accompanied by the harmonica and guitar, giving it a true western flavour. You won’t want to miss this. It will be like you are at a campfire on the prairie with the Sons of the Pioneers, that iconic country music vocal group. You will get to remember all over again about “the cowboy who loved you so true” and hear those spurs in “Jingle, Jangle, Jingle” (“I’ve got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle). See MALE CHORUS, page 2

Male Chorus concert

At Village Square

It will be a part of the concert that will be a departure from what you have heard before from the Goulbourn Male Chorus in terms of music genre but it will be no departure from what has become a signature characteristic of Male Chorus offerings – it will sound great and be entertaining and enjoyable. But the concert will have much more than just this new addition of cowboy ballads. You will hear folk songs, the nautical ditty “Hunker Dwn,” favourites like “My Wild Irish Rose” and “Song for the Mira,” the American Civil War song “Aura Lee” and more. The Male Chorus will even be singing “The Working Man,” dedicated to the recently deceased Rita MacNeil who helped make the song such a hit. And, as at all Male Chorus concerts, there will be several audience participation songs. You will get your chance to have some fun by singing along. This will all be happening this coming Saturday, May 11 at 7 p.m. at St. Thomas Anglican Church at the corner of Stittsville Main Street and Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. Tickets in advance at $12 per person are available at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at

There will also be a musical interlude featuring students from the West End Music Studio which is located on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. There will also be a children’s art workshop hosted by Tracy’s Art Studio of Stittsville. And on top of all this, there will be refreshments available. You just can’t beat that! Artists & Authors in the Park has become a spring tradition at Village Square Park at the corner of Abbott Street and Stittsville Main Street, with dozens of artists and authors exhibiting their work, giving the visiting public a chance to talk with them about their work and also to have the opportunity to purchase one of the original art pieces or books on display that afternoon. There is still room for more artists and authors to sign up for the event. There is a small fee charged by the Stittsville Village Association (SVA), organizer of the event, to exhibitors, mainly to cover the costs involved in hosting the event. The SVA is assisted by the Ottawa West Arts Association, the Ottawa Public Library and the Kanata Art Gallery in putting on this event. There is free admission to all members of the public who attend. For more information about the event or to sign up to be an artist or author displaying at the event, please contact Tanya Hein at 613686-1842 or via email at Tanya.hein@travnet. org or Doug Sutherland at 613-831-7437 or via email at sutherland89@hotmail.com or Marilyn Jenkins at 613-836-5075 or via email at jenkinsdm1@rogers.com .

the Stittsville Shopping Centre (where Shoppers Drug Mart is located) on Stittsville Main Street as well as at Domenic’s Music at 444 Hazeldean Road in Kanata. Tickets will be available at the door as well at the cost of $15 per person. Children aged 16 and under are admitted free of charge. The Goulbourn Male Chorus discovered the guest harmonica player Norm Glaude through a contact that Male Chorus member Gary King had with a member of the Apex Jazz Band. Music director of the Goulbourn Male Chorus is Robert Dueck, the group’s founder. The keyboard accompanist is Bonnie MacDiarmid. The Goulbourn Male Chorus started with 12 members and now, after several years, has grown to a contingent of more than 25 singers. Its musical repertoire continues to expand and improve, as indicated by the introduction of a number of cowboy ballads in this upcoming spring concert. The growing reputation of the Goulbourn Male Chorus was perhaps best displayed by the sellout crowd which attended the group’s Christmas concert this past December at St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Kanata and went away wowed by the group’s vocal melodies and sound.

Military spouses, past and present, enjoy breakfast John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Military spouses helping military spouses. That’s what happened on Wednesday morn-

ing, May 1 at the Bistro Fifty-Four restaurant at the Amberwood Village Golf and Country Club as some of today’s current spouses hosted military spouses of the past who now reside at the Bridlewood Trails retirement community on Eagleson Road.

Nine Bridlewood Trails residents were able to participate, enjoying the outing as they were transported to Bistro Fifty-Four by their new, younger military spouse friends and then enjoyed a breakfast, all with the fantastic view that prevails out the windows at Bistro FiftyFour, overlooking the Amberwood golf course. These Bridlewood Trails residents are not necessarily war brides in the traditional sense of the phrase but some served in the military in wartime and were later married to military personnel. They certainly all understand the military way of life, though, just like their hosts, the military spouses of today. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri dropped in and welcomed the group to Stittsville, while then spending some time chatting individually with some of the individuals. This is the first time that the recently formed Stittsville CF (Canadian Forces) Spouses group hosted a breakfast event for military spouses of the past but it won’t be the last time. Key organizers included Christine Philipson, Teshia Llewellyn and Beth Basinger. Teshia Llewellyn moved to the Ottawa area last summer from Colorado. She has just retired from serving 21 years herself in the military while her husband is still a serving member. A group of military spouses in Stittsville have recently been reaching out to each other

and other military spouses. It was in this context that she met Christine Philipson who convinced her to join the Stittsville Branch 618 of the Royal Canadian Legion which she has done. On her induction evening, Christine was speaking about one of the Legion’s mandates which always seems to be ignored, namely looking after veterans in retirement homes. She mentioned about the military spouses in these homes who have little opportunity to connect with today’s military spouses. Ms. Llewellyn came up with the idea of the new Stittsville CF Spouses group hosting an event where the spouses of today could host the spouses of yesteryear. This is what happened at the Bistro Fifty-Four event on Wednesday, May 1. Members of the Stittsville CF Spouses chipped in with transportation, paying the bills and connecting with the Bridlewood Trails retirement home. And then they attended the breakfast event, enjoying breakfast with these new friends and getting to know each other. Ms. Llewellyn now wants to organize future events with even more participation. The creation of the Stittsville CF Spouses group has been aided by the creation of a Facebook group which has been the work of Beth Basinger. See MILITARY SPOUSES, page 45

Family Fundraiser Fun Day results in sun, fun, funds John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Mother Nature must be considered one of the supporters of last Saturday’s Family Fundraiser Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre. How could she not be considered as such, given that the day was bright, warm and sunny – ideal conditions for this firsttime event where the merchants at the Stittsville Shopping Centre provided fun activities and other attractions – all for free. But the day had a serious side as well, as funds raised through donations were all being directed to help mental health initiatives through Main Street Community Services of Stittsville. And, at the end of the day, over $2,200 had been raised. Given the lackluster springtime weather that prevailed in April, having a sunny, warm day for this Family Fundraiser Fun Day was a great bonus. It let everyone get out and enjoy the sunshine. Familiar CTV Ottawa personality Max Keeping made it out to the event and was his usual friendly self, chatting with many. City of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor Shad Qadri, always a supporter of community events, also was present. There were games and activities for youngsters to enjoy. Music from Alan Rushforth’s homemade street organ wafted over the area, adding to its festive atmosphere. Hot dogs proved to be a great attraction but, then again, who doesn’t love a hot dog!

And to top it all off, there were lots of gifts and prizes given away, all thanks to donations from Stittsville Shopping Centre businesses and others. Just what were all of these, 21 in total. Well, there was a Mary Kay Gift Basket valued at $45 provided by Jenn Gates-MacKinnon; a dish set valued at $45 from Kung Fu Bistro; a wooden ruler valued at $50 from Adonai Woods; a gift certificate valued at $45 from Spa Olivia; With Love Hair Pieces valued at $45; a Soap & Candle Gift Basket valued at $40 provided by Christine Whitecross; a Pam Rhude photography session valued at $100; two gift baskets each valued at $150 provided JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND by Shoppers Drug Mart, Stittsville; A Scentsy gift basket valued at $45 provided by Dorothy Having fun at the Family Fun Day at the Stittsville Shopping Centre in Stittsville last Williamson; an Epicure gift basket valued at Saturday are members of the Stretch family – Ramsey Stretch, left, and Parker Stretch, $55 provided by Dorothy Williamson; an Ex- right, with mom Ayah Stretch behind Parker. pert First Aid Kit valued at $75 provided by Angela Wallace; a golf accessory gift set valued at $225 provided by Darryl Metzger of Edward Jones Investments; a golf bag valued at $200 provided by Darryl Metzger of Edward Jones Investments; a Little Wagon Photography Mini Session valued at $150; a Pottery Playhouse Ceramic Dragon valued at $60; a Fresco Restaurant gift certificate valued at $50; an Art gift basket valued at $60 provided by Sandra Grew of Expression Counselling; a Napoli’s Café gift certificate valued at $100; a Yogatown gift certificate valued at $80; a Truffle gift basket valued at $40 provided by Stittsville Wellness; and two Dandelion Kids Baby Gift Baskets valued at $50 each.

$6,500 to Make-A-Wish John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - A wish will be coming true thanks to the competitive dance team members at Pointe of Grace Dance Company in Stittsville. A total of $6,500 was raised for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario at the Pointe of Grace Dance Company’s Dance 4 Wishes Showcase which was held on Sunday, April 7 at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville. This is enough funding to virtually ensure the granting of a wish for a youngster between the ages of 3 and 18 who is living with a health condition that can be life threatening. The formal presentation of this $6,500 raised by the Dance 4 Wishes Showcase happened last Saturday at the Pointe of Grace Dance Company’s studio space on Iber Road in Stittsville, with Laura Kneebone, a member of the Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario Board of Directors, on hand to accept the funds. Laura, by the way, grew up in Stittsville. She got involved with Make-AWish Eastern Ontario after her son had to spend a week in the hospital. While there, she saw youngsters who were constantly at the hospital because of a medical condition with life threatening implications. It was then that she decided that she would try to make a difference by becoming involved with Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario. When accepting the donated funds, Ms. Kneebone told the assembled dancers and parents that since 1983, Make-A-Wish has granted over 5,200 wishes to children in Canada. The Eastern Ontario chapter, one of eight across the country, grants about 50 wishes a year. She said that the $6,500 donation will basically fund an extra wish for a child this year. Ms. Kneebone noted that MakeA-Wish Eastern Ontario has some great corporate partnerships such as wish Westjet but she said that events like this Dance 4 Wishes Showcase in which youth and families raise funds for the organization are very important as well, especially as they enhance awareness of the organization. She explained that there are many different wishes granted, wishes that she categorized as four types: I wish to be, I wish to have, I wish to go and I wish to meet. Ms. Kneebone explained that a child with a health condition that could prove fatal usually spend a lot of time in hospital and with doctors, meaning that they frequently do not have the same opportunities in childhood as other children. This is where Make-A-Wish comes into the picture. “It gives them that moment of joy,” she said about a wish that has been granted to a child, noting that the wish may be the only vacation that a child gets to enjoy with his or her family. She said that receiving a granted wish allows children with severe medical conditions to continue to believe and hope that there will be a change in their condition, giving them the strength to go on in their

fight. And all is not bleak for these children. Ms. Kneebone said that 85 percent of the children who have their wish come true through MakeA-Wish go on to live normal healthy lives beyond the age of 18. She presented a framed certificate to Pointe of Grace Dance Company for the $6,500 donation. She also provided Make-A-Wish blue star neck pendants for all of the dancers. Special guests at this presentation of the funds raised for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario were 12 year old Abigail MacMillan of Stittsville, who has had a wish of hers fulfilled by Make-A-Wish, her sister Olivia, 9, and their mother Tess MacMillan. Ms. MacMillan told how MakeA-Wish is an organization that their family really loves, not only for what it did for Abigail but also how it included the whole family including Olivia in a week-long trip to Disney World. They were picked up in a limo and spent a week at Disney World where they were always moved to the front of the line for the rides. It was just a fun experience for everyone. Every year now, Abigail hosts a cupcake sale on her street to raise funds for Make-A Wish Eastern Ontario. This will be happening again this year in June. This fundraising Dance 4 Wishes Showcase for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario held by the Pointe of Grace Dance Company came about after parents of dancers indicated that they would like to see such a showcase event continued. Pointe of Grace Dance Company used to hold such a showcase for its dancers, essentially to prepare for competitions, but the event was discontinued due to cost. The parents suggested that the showcase be used as a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish Eastern Ontario and so this Dance 4 Wishes Showcase happened this year. Make-A-Wish is considered an appropriate recipient

for the funds raised since it allows the young dancers of the Pointe of Grace Dance Company an opportunity to fundraise to help someone around their own age receive the gift of a realized wish. “We really wanted to find something that our young dancers could connect with – something that would make a difference,” Pointe of Grace Dance Company co-director Carly Sherwin said when announcing the Dance 4 Wishes Showcase. A total of 75 dancers of the Pointe of Grace Dance Company’s competitive dance team, both boys and girls, ranging in age from 5 to 17 years old, participated in the Dance 4 Wishes Showcase. A variety of dance styles were performed including ballet, jazz, hop hop, step dancing, lyrical and musical theatre. There were two performances at the Showcase – a junior showcase at 2:30 p.m. and a senior showcase at 6:30 p.m.

NEWS On Tuesday, April 30th, I had the opportunity to spend some time with Ross Piaskoski, owner of A Good Son, in my latest Councillor For Hire excursion. At A Good Son, Ross provides transportation service to seniors as well as companionship to residents across Ottawa and is located in Manotick. A Good Son is a 24/7 service making it available whenever you need them, whether it’s an appointment at the doctor or a trip to the grocery store. I was able to accompany Ross to get a better idea of what he does and what a typical work day entails. Most mornings begin with a regular pickup on Long Island where he drives a local resident to the Miller’s Oven. Ross then returns to pick her up after lunch. What became clear to me was that the job was much more than a transportation service. A Good Son can really help you maintain your independence while at the same time, providing family members’ peace of mind knowing that their loved one is being taken care of in their own home. From looking through the newspaper together or having a chat to administering eye drops or giving a gentle reminder to take your pills, A Good Son is really just that, a good son who is there for you when you need him. A typical Tuesday also sees Ross venture out to Montreal Road, where he picks up a young man and brings him to Tranquil Acres in Kars, a therapeutic equestrian centre. He would then return him home in the late afternoon and sometimes spend time with the young man, either catching a movie or just spending time talking with him. Again, A Good Son is more about companionship to those who need it rather than just a transportation service. It was a pleasure to spend some time with A Good Son, learning more about this new, local business and its owner, Ross Piaskoski. For more information, you can visit www.agoodson. ca or call 613-98-DRIVE. My next Councillor For Hire adventure is this Tuesday at Greenlife Nursery.

Fiddling, stepdancing happening in Richmond John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Fifteen year old Elly Wedge of Richmond is recognized as one of the best fiddlers of her age not only in this area but in Canada. That’s why she has been invited to participate in the junior showcase at the Canadian Grand Master Fiddle Championship in Saskatoon this year, one of only four young fiddlers invited from across Canada to do so. This championship event is the biggest fiddle competition in Canada, with the junior showcase meant to highlight the most promising young fiddlers in the country. That’s how good Elly is! But you don’t have to plan to travel to Saskatoon this summer to hear Elly play. She will be one of the numerous local fiddlers who will be competing in the 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition being held in the hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre in Richmond on the upcoming May long weekend. Elly Wedge has been playing the fiddle since about the age of four, although there is a photograph which exists showing her holding a fiddle when she was just 18 months old. Over recent years, she has travelled and participated in numerous fiddle competitions both in Canada and the United States, winning trophies in her age category. She is a two time Shelburne Canadian Open winner in her age group as well as a two time winner at the Maritime Fiddle Festival. Elly now has what she calls her “life fiddle� which is the fiddle that she will prob-

ably be keeping for the rest of her life. As the fiddle ages, its sound will improve. Hers has already changed colour since she has owned it. She practices every day and believes that her playing is improving. You will be able to judge for yourself if you attend the upcoming competition in Richmond on Saturday, May 18 and Sunday, May 19. Elly performs not only as a solo fiddler but also is half of “Elly Squared,� a musical fiddling duo involving herself and 19 year old Ellen (Ellie) Daly, another rising star in Canadian fiddling. Ellen Daly has won the Shelburne Canadian Open Under 18 Fiddle Championship and is a former Under 16 Eastern North American Irish Fiddle Champion. “Elly Squared� competes in duet fiddling. The duo won the twin fiddling category at the Vankleek Hill competition in both 2008 and 2009. Elly may also be in the unique fiddle/ dance class at the Richmond competition. That’s something that she also does, much like renowned Canadian fiddler Natalie MacMaster who is perhaps the best known performer who step dances while fiddling. She says that this fiddle/dance class requires a performer to almost be robotic either stepdancing or fiddling. She says that if a performer tries to think about both of these at the same time, then the performance just won’t be good. Practising also helps a lot in reaching this robotic state. Elly admits that the fiddle/dance class is fun to watch so it should be one of the highlights at the upcoming competition in

Action begins at Speedway

Also on May 11th, take a spin out to Munster and pop by the Munster United Church between 9:00am and 1:00pm for a delicious bake sale. In addition to that, there will also be a BBQ from 10:30am until 1:30pm. From what I understand, this BBQ will feature hot dogs, hamburgers and bacon on a bun. It’s like the Richmond Fair has come early!

Dollars for Dogs On Sunday, May 26, 2013, all dog owners in the National Capital Area are invited to take their four-legged friends and converge on Andrew Haydon Park, 3169 Carling Avenue, for Dollars for Dogs, a fundraiser in support of Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind. Thanks to a bylaw waiver from the City of Ottawa, May 26 is the only day of the year that dogs are permitted at Andrew Haydon Park. So, treat your pooch to a fun outing, which includes a 4-km walk, dog social, BBQ, and door prizes. Raise pledges in advance of the walk. Money raised will give back freedom and independence to someone in need of enhanced mobility through the use of a guide dog or assistance dog. Entry forms are available by phoning (613) 692-7777 or email events@guidedogs.ca. You can also register online. Find the walk page at www.guidedogs.ca. Join in on May 26 for a fun day in the park with your best friend. If you don’t have a dog, you can still walk and support this great cause. Register on-site starting at 9:30am on May 26, with the walk beginning at 10:30am.

Richmond. For Elly, who attends Bell High School, her next major challenge is not as a performer but as a student. Entering grade 11 in the fall, she realizes that she has to focus on her marks to prepare for university. This may result in cutting back somewhat on her fiddling and performing. The 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition will be taking place on Saturday, May 18 starting at 11 a.m. and on Sunday, May 19 starting at 1 p.m. in the hall at the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) in Richmond. The Saturday program will see a variety of competition categories staged in both stepdancing and fiddling, all the way from those aged 8 and under to those aged 70 and over. Sunday’s program will see more fiddling and stepdancing including the fiddle dance category. The Sunday evening will feature the finals in various categories. Admission for this 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition is $10 per person on Saturday, May 18, $10 per person for the Saturday evening, $10 per person on Sunday, May 19, and $12 per person for the Sunday evening finale. Children 12 and under will be charged only $5 per person. There will also be passes available. A single day pass, good for both daytime and evening performances, will be $15. A weekend pass will cost $25 per person. For more information about this 2013 Ottawa Fiddle and Stepdance Competition, check out the website at www.ottawafiddlestepdance.ca .

Open doors, they will come

B

aseball continues to flounder at Ottawa Stadium. Pity the poor fan awaiting the opening pitch of a new season. The sun is shining, the fans are ready, but there’s no team on the field. The stop-start process of trying to snag a AAclass team for Ottawa Stadium has been frustrating. City staff once proposed condominiums for the parking lot, but that was shot down because fans might need somewhere to park once a AA team gets here. In negotiations to bring a high level of baseball back to Ottawa, teams have thrown the city a few curveballs. So far the Ottawa has whiffed. The Fat Cats of the Intercounty Baseball League were kicked out of the stadium because the city wanted to renovate prior to the arrival of AA ball. Now that AA is guaranteed to miss the 2013 season, the eviction has proved unnecessary. People went to see the Fat Cats. They were family oriented, with low ticket prices and the highest attendance numbers in the league. Forcing the team out prior to a AA deal being finalized now seems like the wrong move. We’re left with a wonderful site and no team. The earliest we will see a AA team – or any pro

baseball at all – will be the 2014 season. It means a whole summer will go by with an empty park. Surely the city would have enough advance notice of the pending arrival of a AA team to get the place fixed up. The negotiations to get a new team to Ottawa have been a mystery. It’s understandable that there will be a period of secrecy during active negotiations to bring a new team here, but there must be some clue if an upcoming season is going to happen or not. With no pro team this summer – and no renovations planned in the short term – the gates of Ottawa Stadium should be thrown open for the community to enjoy. Former Fat Cats general manager Duncan MacDonald has proposed the park could host family events, men’s leagues and Little League baseball this summer. He’s willing to co-ordinate the process, providing turn-key service to the city. It’s a proposal worth considering but the city has said no. The stadium is paid for with residents’ tax dollars; who better to round the bases than the city’s own ball players? There’s only one answer to MacDonald’s proposal: play ball!

f it’s your birthday and you make the proper phone calls, you and some friends can ride in the pace car at Rideau Carleton Raceway. It’s pretty good to be one of those friends. The car, a big Cadillac limousine with a wide metal gate attached to the rear, drives along ahead of the horses. A man in back controls the gate and, in the initial stages, also controls the accelerator. When he accelerates and swings back the gate, the driver in front takes over, the race begins and you in the birthday group, facing sideways, get to watch the race up close, hearing the sounds and feeling the speed – even if you see a bit more than you might want to of the drivers’ encouragement of the horses. You get let off beside the winner’s circle where the happy owner waits. Then you walk back into the building and up to the restaurant area where people enjoy the buffet and place bets at their table. If you play your cards right, to mix a metaphor, you can have a nice meal and only lose a few dollars on the horses. You can tell, as you wander over for a second dessert, that most of the people are enjoying themselves. They holler encourage-

Funny Town ment to the horses, whose progress is also visible on TV screens around the room, and in between races chat cheerfully with their table mates. To enter the restaurant from the parking lot you first have to walk through the slots area. It is brightly lit with lights flashing on the machines which produce a bonging noise that, put together, sounds like music. As an aside, the intriguing thing is that the machines are all in tune. Somebody must have to make sure the slot machines are not flat or sharp – another modern-day occupation. But we digress. Aside from the bonging and flashing, the most noteworthy characteristic of the casino is that no one is smiling or laughing in it. I have walked through Published weekly by:

this room many times on the way into the track and I have never seen anyone laughing or smiling. I see people sitting or standing solemnly in front of their chosen machines, methodically feeding money into them and waiting gloomily for money to come out. From there, walking into the restaurant and the sight of the race track is like walking into the light. The paradoxical thing about this is it’s still gambling, whether you’re betting on a horse or a machine. But it feels different. To bet on a horse, you may scan the racing form and other available information for clues – what did the horse do in the last race, did it start strongly and fade or did it move up in the late stages of the race; who are its owners, its driver; what are the odds, who are the handicappers picking? Or you might just decide you like the horse’s name. Two dollars on Stanley Cup to win. Somehow going through the process makes you feel like you have a stake in the outcome, and if you win, it is a testament to your skill. If you lose, well it’s only $2. This helps keep you smiling, while you return once again to the dessert table. On you way out, after emerging from the

According to the industry, tens of thousands of jobs are at stake. Now, it’s unfortunate that the racing industry needs the slots to support itself, but if the choice is between keeping the track going and constructing another gleaming palace of gloom, it’s not difficult to know which one to cheer.

cheerleading teams performed in their Shark outfits, just like they will be at the upcoming Nationals. Cheer Sport Sharks All-Star Cheerleading gym for the Ottawa area is located at 119 Iber Road in Stittsville. It is one of three Cheer Sport Sharks locations in Ontario, with the others being in Cambridge and Ancaster. More information about programs can be obtained by calling 1-888-25-CHEER or emailing info@cheersportsharks.com. Cheer Sport Sharks was founded over ten years ago by co-owners Ali Moffatt and Alana Potter, two school friends. They joined forces and started Cheer Sport Sharks in Cambridge, beginning with 35 athletes involved on one of three teams. In 2007, the Cheer Sport Sharks moved into a larger gym that was known as the “Tank.� Growth continued with Cheer Sport Sharks expanding to 30 teams and 550 athletes. This brought about Cheer Sport Sharks building its own 18,000 square foot gym in Cambridge. Cheer Sport Sharks has since opened a gym on Iber Road in Stittsville to serve the Ottawa area.

Meeting to deal with Rotary history

Special to the News

EMC news - Rotary will be front and centre at the May meeting of the Goulbourn Township Historical Society. That’s because the history of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville will be topic for the Historical Society’s meeting on Saturday, May 18 at 1:30 p.m. at the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Rotary is an international service club. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville traces its history back to 2004 when it received its charter, with the club initially known as the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Goulbourn. This new Rotary Club in Stittsville was sponsored by the West Ottawa Rotary Club which had planted the seed of Rotary with a number of Stittsville business and professional people. The seed took root and the new Rotary Club was formed. Since 2004 was the 100th anniversary year for Rotary International, the new Stittsville Club received a special centennial club designation reserved for new Rotary Clubs formed in the centennial year. Shad Qadri, who is now the city of Ottawa Stittsville ward councillor but was then a Stittsville businessman, served as president of the Club for its ďŹ rst two years. He was succeeded by Steve Hunter. Subsequent presidents have included Brad

Spriggs, Leo Maiorino, Theresa Qadri and current president Carolyn Clark. In 2006, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville began a Trivia Challenge Night, a fundraising event that has continued to the present. Earlier this year, the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville launched a four-movie International Movie Series, stretching

over four months, with the movies being shown at the Empire Theatre at Kanata Centrum in Kanata. This International Movie Series was held in cooperation with the Toronto International Film Festival. The Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville has not only participated in community events but has played a role on the inter-

national stage, funding a project in Uganda and helping in the ďŹ ght to eradicate polio from the world, among other initiatives. Everyone is welcome to attend the Historical Society’s presentation featuring the history of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville on Saturday, May 18. There is free admission and, as usual, there will be refreshments served.

SUBMITTED

Sam Sabourin of Stittsville is amassing quite an array of awards and honours in his university football career with the Queens Gaels.

Gaels, Sam was selected to play for the East team in this game which features the best university football players in Canada. This is yet another honour that has gone to Sam, a graduate of South Carleton High School in Richmond, who is now completing his third year in the physical education program at Queens in Kingston. At the recent queens University football banquet, Sam was presented with four awards. He received the Lou Bruce Trophy as Queens Most Outstanding Defensive Player in the 2012 season. This is the second time that Sam has won this prestigious award. Sam also was presented with the Johnny Evans Trophy as Queens Most Valuable Player in the past season. In addition, Sam was selected as an Ontario University Athletics (OUA) first team All-Star for 2012 as well as being a CIS second team All-Canadian. This is the second time in his university football career that he has earned second team All-Canadian honours. In the 2012 season, Sam made 48 tackles, including 40 solo stops. This figure tied him for fifth overall in the OUA league and included his 12 ½ tackles in one game against the University of Western Ontario on Sept. 15. Over the course of the 2012 season, 10 ½ of Sam’s tackles resulted in a loss for the other team, including three sacks. He also forced a fumble and knocked down two passes. The six foot, one inch linebacker wears sweater number 44 for the Queens Gaels. Sam, who played minor football for the Bell Warriors Football Club, was a recipient of a $1,000 Jim Wagdin Bell Warriors scholarship in 2012. Mr. Wagdin, a Richmond resident and a longtime coach and executive member with

South Carleton High School in Richmond, is also playing university football, suiting up with the St. Mary’s Huskies of Halifax.

L’Arche workshop in Stittsville Special to the News

EMC news - A community workshop hosted by Holy Spirit Catholic Parish in Stittsville on Tuesday, April 30 was aimed at helping people live their lives more fully. And the inspiration came from a source that would not immediately spring to mind – L’Arche Ottawa. The workshop was presented by L’Arche Ottawa. L’Arche is a way of living in community with disabled adults which was pioneered by Canada’s Jean Vanier. A total of 34 people took part in this work-

shop which saw three L’Arche members sharing their life experiences with the group. This was followed by group discussions on the theme of “Being First.” This involves letting go to live more fully, focusing on reflecting on our lives, vulnerability and forgiveness. Disabled people like those who live in a L’Arche community are examples of such living and are examples from which people can draw inspiration. Plans are now underway to host a second workshop, perhaps focusing specifically on the art and process of forgiveness.

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The dancing feet of The Dance Studio & Boutique’s competitive team have danced so well in recent competitions that they are becoming travelling feet as well, off to summertime programs and a Dance World Cup competition.

At the Inspire Dance Challenge, Olivia Bradley and Laura Harvey received scholarships to attend the Fresh Dance Intensive Convention which will be held in a Canadian city this summer. Olivia received a half scholarship while Laura was awarded a full scholarship.

EMC news - The spring concert of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers last Saturday evening lived up to its name “Alphabet Soup” in more ways than one. It not only featured a variety of music with song titles starting with every letter of the alphabet but also the choir itself featured a variety of members – some choir veterans and some “rookie” singers. Dorothea Bendall is a 25 year veteran of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, having joined in Sept. 1987 with her friend and former longtime choir member Margie Karl. Indeed, Dorothea’s 25 years as a choir member was recognized during last Saturday’s concert. Dorothea says she simply has loved to sing, deciding that singing was the next best thing to do outside of actually playing an instrument like the piano. She could not read music when she joined and admits that she still cannot. She simply listens to a song over and over again, using practise CD’s, until she finally gets the melody of the song. Once she gets the melody, she finds that she can then add the words and she is off to the races with the song, as it were. Dorothea has worked with several music directors over the years, finding that each one has had expertise in certain areas, passing this on to the choir and its members. Rene Douville is another veteran member of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, having joined around 1995. He had been singing with a choir in Manotick and on moving to Richmond, he and his wife Elizabeth decided to join the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and remain with the choir today. “I love singing,” Rene says, adding that he has learned a lot since he began with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. Besides singing with the choir, he has also become involved in other ways, serving, for instance, as the executive

producer of the group’s recent concert. His wife Elizabeth also does more than just sing with the choir. She has been a chief organizer of the annual Music Trivia fundraising night which the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers has held for the past five years. “I like being involved,” Rene says simply, noting that singing with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers serves to occupy his winter months while golfing is his summer passion. He admits that while he cannot read music fully, he can tell if the musical notes are telling him to go up or down and how long to hold the note. While singers like Dorothea Bendall and Rene Douville are longtime Goulbourn Jubilee Singers members, Catherine Culhane and Alex Shepherd, both 15, are on the opposite end of the spectrum. This spring concert last Saturday was their first with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. As was said, a variety of singing experience was featured in this concert. Catherine and Alex both joined the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers this past January after attending the group’s Christmas concert with Catherine’s mother who then decided to join and suggested that Catherine and Alex join as well. Both did as suggested and both have enjoyed the experience. “It’s a lot of fun,” Catherine says about singing with the

Alex Shepherd

Goulbourn Jubilee Singers. She reads music but admits that she was a little out of practise when she first joined in January. But the skill quickly came back to her. She says that Goulbourn Jubilee Singers music director Linda Crawford pushes choir members to do well and perfect the songs that they sing. She admits that preparing for last Saturday’s spring concert was a little nerve wracking due to the variety of songs including one in Italian and one in French but she says that music director Linda Crawford drilled the choir members so that they were all very familiar with the songs. Catherine says that in her case, the challenge of being a member of a choir like the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers is to be able to listen to the other singers as well as to watch the music director to make sure that the timing is correct and that everyone is singing together. For Alex Shepherd, also in his first session with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers, his appraisal of being part of the group is similar to the views of not only his fellow rookie Catherine but also of veterans Dorothea Bendall and Rene Douville. “It’s fun,” he says. “It’s a good time.” Alex is no stranger to singing. He takes voice lessons and has sung in the Kiwanis Music Festival. But he admits that his Goulbourn Jubilee Singers experience is different as he is singing with other people. He says that usually he sings by himself or listens to other singers sing. But singing with others in a choir has offered a new challenge. But he notes that this challenge has had the benefit of improving his ear for music since as part of a choir, he now has to listen more to his fellow choir members singing. Alex says that it has been fun singing with the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and that he will probably be continuing with the group.

‘The Lion Sleeps Tonight’ grabs attention of concert’s audience Ottawa Valley Tours

John Curry TM

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a song originally recorded in 1939 that became a number one hit in the United States in 1961 as adapted by a doo-wop group The Tokens that wowed the audience at last Saturday’s spring concert by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its associated group the Junior Jubilees. And while it may have been the music of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” especially the vocal solo of choir member Dwayne Clipperton, that caused this

positive audience reaction, the attention grabbing song was undoubtedly helped by the fact that the men of the Jubilee Singers, who sang the song, marched in from the rear of the performance space at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata wearing Lion heads and performed the song lined up across the front of the stage area, embellishing the tune with movements and gestures. It all produced a great audience reaction, generating the loudest of the evening. And it prompted music director Linda Crawford to remark to

the capacity crowd: “You can’t say you aren’t getting a variety tonight.” Indeed, her words were true because the program, following the theme of the alphabet, included not only the opening “The Alphabet Song” but also 26 different songs, with each song representing one letter of the alphabet. Some literary or perhaps musical license was taken in a couple of cases. For instance, “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” represented the letter “L” even though the title starts with the “T” of “The.” Or for the letter

“X,” even director Linda Crawford admitted to a little cheating as the choir sang “Ombra Mai Fu,” the opening aria from George Frideric Handel’s opera seria Xerxes – hence “X” got covered. And for the letter “I” in this rundown of songs of the alphabet, the Jubilee Singers sang “Io Son La Primavera,” a ten part harmony song that director Crawford has wanted the choir to perform for a long time. It just happens to be a song sung in Italian, not English but the title does start with “I.” See JUBILEE, page 21

Jubilee Singers spring concert Continued from page 20

‘Alphabet Soup’ spring concert John Curry

And this language card was played again for the letter “U” when the Jubilee Singers sang “Un Canadien Errant,” a French language song. But, really, these little tweaks to ensure a song for every letter of the alphabet is really splitting hairs – the main thing is that the songs of the concert, whether Broadway tunes, sacred songs, classical pieces or Canadian-composed creations, were all marvelously delivered by the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers (either the men or the ladies or both) and the youthful Junior Jubilees (either alone or with the Jubilee Singers). The variety was immense, from the Canadian written and Sarah Burnell arranged “Frozen in Frobisher Bay” to the religious “Goin’ Up A Yonder” (to be with my Lord) to the sacred “Just A Closer Walk With Thee” to the iconic “Moon River” to the classic “Over the Rainbow” to the Newfoundland folk song “Three Fishers” to the lively “Zip-a-dee-doodah.” This idea of presenting a concert featuring the songs of the alphabet arose during choir conversations which happened about two years ago, with director Linda Crawford then searching out appropriate songs so that an “Alphabet Soup” concert, like the one presented last Saturday, could be performed.

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers/ Junior Jubilees spring concert last Saturday saw a donation made to the Operation Veteran program at the Canadian War Museum. This is a program which provides free lunches at the War Museum to any visiting veteran. In the past four years, the program has provided about 4,200 meals to veterans visiting the War Museum, approximately 1,000 a year. The program has proven popular with donors as a way of showing support for veterans. As a result, the program has been expanded so that it involves an education and awareness component so that the bravery and contributions of veterans are not forgotten. So the program is also helping fun education programs at the War Museum. Over 100,000 students have taken advantage of these education programs, ensuring a continuing awareness among today’s youth for the contributions made by Canada’s veterans. For the concert which was held at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata, the “Alphabet Soup” theme applied not only to the music sung and to the program design which featured a bowl of letters of the alphabet on its front cover but also to six specially made window curtains which covered each of the six long, narrow windows which flanked the performance area, three on each side. They were made by choir member Rosalind Harris. These curtains or banners each contained eight letters of the alphabet, in random fashion and in

various colours – green, purple, orange, blue and red. Red and white checkerboard edges were at the top and bottom of each of the curtains. The music director of the Goulbourn Jubilee Singers and its associated junior choir the Junior Jubilees is Linda Crawford, the now-retired longtime music teacher at Goulbourn Middle School. Kaley Duff is the accompanist for both groups now. She majored in piano in taking her Bachelor of Music degree at the University of Ottawa. She is now completing a Masters degree in music theory at the University of Ottawa. The Goulbourn Jubilee Singers were formed in 1977, the Silver Jubilee year of Queen Elizabeth and hence the name. The Jubilee Singers are open to any adult who enjoys music. There are no auditions and the ability to sight read music is not required. The Jubilee Singers in association with the Junior Jubilees performs two major concerts a year, one in the spring and one before Christmas. The dates of the 2013 Christmas concert have already been established as Saturday, Nov. 23 and Sunday, Nov. 24, again at the Glen Cairn United Church in Kanata. The Junior Jubilees were founded in Sept. 2000 as a means of encouraging interest in choral singing for children aged 8 to 14 in the community. No auditions are required. Current members of the Junior Jubilees are Anna Bramble, Liam Bramble (who sang a solo part in the Junior Jubilees’ rendition of “Al Shlosha D’varim” in last Saturday’s concert), Isabella Chapman-Pusiak, Robyn Davy, Caroline Davy, Clare Davy, Karmi Dhaliwal, Caleigh Hartery, Taylor Heard, Julia Heusel, Shannon Hughes,

The darts season came to a close at the Richmond Legion Hall in Richmond last Friday evening, May 3. It ended with the Richmond Legion’s dart league’s awards banquet. Regular season play ended in March with the team of Edna Monahan, Paul Turnbull and Johnny Villeneuve finishing with the most wins for the regular season. The playoffs turned out to be a total surprise with no one team dominating. The team of Geoff Kilabuk, Judy Masson and George Murphy ended up winning the B side. On the A side, things were close. The team of Tim Lytle, Lori Lepensyi and Brian Fawcett had to play a tie breaker round against the team of Rob Maguire, Brian Goss and Rene Douville. The Lytle team emerged on top, squeaking out a 2-1 win to take the A side title. The Lytle team went on to play the Kilabuk team for the grand championship, again squeaking out a 3-2 win

to grab the title. Paul Turnbull won the award for “Most Wins Men – Regular Season” while Cathie Lytle won for Most Wins Women – Regular Season.” Both won this same award last year.

Well water testing in Goulbourn Special to the News

EMC news - The semi-annual well water testing blitz is coming up in Goulbourn. Well water samples can be dropped off at one of four drop-off locations on speciďŹ c days and at speciďŹ c times. These well water samples will then be tested with the results provided to the homeowner.

Want Innovation? Offer a Prize It is easy to turn public money into research. But the question should be, “How do we turn research into results?� Who better to ask than Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and Google co-founder, Sergey Brin? They invented and popularized technologies that serve billions of people and have created mind-boggling wealth.

N

7@CD>G@ OJ @SKGJM@

This well water testing blitz in Goulbourn is happening this Monday, May 13 and Tuesday, May 14. This Monday, May 13, well water samples can be dropped off at the Goulbourn Town Hall (former Goulbourn municipal building) between 8 a.m. and 12 noon. On Tuesday, May 14, well water samples can be dropped off at any

of three locations in Goulbourn: the Richmond Memorial Community Centre (arena) between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.; the Ashton General Store in Ashton between 5:30 a.m. and 6 p.m.; and Mac’s in Munster from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. The well water samples must be dropped off in the appropriate sample bottles. Empty sample bottles for use can be picked up prior to the blitz days at any of the drop-off locations as well as at King’s Your Independent Grocer in Richmond.

Last month, Zuckerberg and Brin inaugurated the “Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciencesâ€? with the purpose of recognizing “excellence in research aimed at curing intractable diseases and extending human life.â€? Rather than simply pumping all the money into research institutions, Zuckerberg and Brin are paying for results. History proves they are onto something. Napoleon Bonaparte offered a cash prize for new ways of preserving food, knowing that his “army marched on its stomachâ€?. So Nicolas Francois Appert invented canned foods, and used the reward of 12,000 francs to open a commercial cannery, which operated for over a century. Between 1839 and 1939, the Royal Agricultural Society of England offered cash prizes at annual competitions. A Harvard Business School and Norwegian School of Economics joint study showed “large effects of the prizes on competitive entryâ€? and “an impact of the prizes on the quality of contemporaneous patentsâ€?. The contests led to new milking machines, cream separators, cultivators, light portable motors and more than 15,000 other innovations that made food more plentiful and farming less burdensome. The private sector is sponsoring prizes for more than philanthropy. A few years back, Netix crowdsourced its R&D with a $1 million prize for a new system of algorithms to recommend ďŹ lms. According to The Economist, 55,000 people competed and the winning team was a group of seven who had worked together via the internet and met in person for the ďŹ rst time when they retrieved their prize. Governments are catching on to the power of prizes. Under the America Competes Act, 45 U.S. government agencies have offered over 200 prizes to incentivize problem solving. The President’s OfďŹ ce of Science and Technology Policy says prizes are now a “standard tool in every Federal agency’s toolboxâ€?. And this January, the New York City Schools Chancellor announced a $104,000 prize for the best app, video game or other technology to help teenagers conquer math.

Here in Canada, the House of Commons Transport Committee unanimously made the cost-neutral recommendation for government to “redirect a portion of its existing research and innovation budget away from institutions and towards substantial prize money for innovations which meet welldeďŹ ned public goals.â€? With private sector promotional sponsors picking up the tab, governments could hold massive science fairs to unveil the winners. The prestige and publicity would create further incentive to compete and win. As the Lindbergh ight and the Royal Agricultural Society prizes prove, the prestige and publicity of competitions can motivate the innovators of today and inspire those of tomorrow. Let’s keep our eyes on that prize and make Canada an innovation nation. Pierre Poilievre MP Nepean-Carleton Originally published in Maclean’s magazine

BFF in Stittsville for Breast Cancer Action

Ottawa’s #1 Ranked Soccer Club

Goulbourn Recreation Complex. JOHN BRUMMELL/METROLAND

OSU Player Kris Twardek becomes 1st Ottawa Player to sign with Pro Club in England Kris Twardek has struck the biggest goal in his career yet. The Ottawa South United (OSU) striker is no stranger to filling the net locally, and now he’s set to try his luck in England as a member of Championship side Millwall FC’s youth academy based in London. “It’s like the start to a dream come true,” reflects the Grade 10 Arnprior District High School student, who was introduced to OSU from the West Carleton Soccer Club when he was nine, in order to get the best possible soccer training available in Ottawa “I’ve always wanted to play soccer in a professional environment and this was an opportunity to do it. I’m thrilled.” Twardek went for a “nerve-racking” one-week try-out with Millwall back in November. Building on his experience from previous trials with Everton FC, the OSU player of eight years, made an impression in a hurry, scoring “more than I’m used to when I go overseas” during game action with the club.

Millwall, who recently reached the FA Cup semis against Wigan FC, told Twardek they were interested in him before he left, details were ironed out with Kris his family and OSU, over the winter, and he’s now set to officially spend the next two years in southeast London once he arrives in June. Twardek, who will stay in a billet home with another teammate, had a peek at what his training schedule will look like and immediately felt energized. “It’s basically soccer all the time. That’s all you can ask for, really,” smiles Twardek, who’s headed to one of London’s dozen-plus pro clubs. “The atmosphere for soccer there, you couldn’t even compare it, I would say, to the hockey here. It means everything, for everybody.” Club ‘proud’ of model player

Since 1990

OSU club head coach Paul Harris says it’s Twardek’s personality and mental edge that really makes him the full package, on top of tactical awareness, physique and the technical prowess that makes the standout dribbler an “exciting” player.

Carp Farmer’s Market

“We’re delighted for Kris,” Harris signals. “To get a player from Ottawa, Canada – not a well-known football environment – to a professional environment in England is obviously something we’re really, really proud of and will firmly put OSU on the map as development club overseas.” Bill Michalopulos, OSU club President, added that “Kris’s achievement personifies all the hard work and exclusive networks that OSU has generated over OSU’s relatively short time in existence as a soccer club in order to provide the very best opportunities possible for OSU players on a global level and that all of 6,500 player strong OSU is proud of this milestone”. Jim Lianos the club’s General Manager stated that “Kris’s hard work and positive attitude for continuous improvement gave him the edge required to be seen and promoted by OSU at such high levels. It could not happen to a nicer kid”

THE SEASON BEGINS!

Twardek will become the first OSU product to sign with a pro academy overseas, on the heels of two other OSU Force Academy players recently joining Major League Soccer clubs in Toronto and Montreal. Harris, the former Everton FC youth academy coach, who also trained such players as Manchester City’s Jack Radwell and England’s U21 Ross Barkley, said that “We think that maybe we’ve got the players at a young age who now have this role model and will later be able to go on to this level.”

Every Saturday from May 11th to October 26th 8am til 1pm at the Carp Fairgrounds

Goodbye to ‘best friends’ The downside of joining Millwall, Twardek states, is that he’ll be leaving the club that’s provided him with so many opportunities, such as competing at the Gothia Cup in Sweden with OSU’s affiliate club from Dallas, winning the Robbie International Soccer Tournament and the Disney College Showcase with OSU, and finishing second in the Ontario Youth Soccer League this past summer.

First 100 Mothers will Receive One Heart Shaped Bar of Handmade Goats Milk soap

“It’s been a journey with OSU Force97’s team and OSU. It doesn’t really stop here, but I mean, I’m leaving,” Twardek sighs. “The whole team is like my best friends. We’ve had lots of success together and we’ve had bad times together too. The team and OSU is like a family and we’re all brothers.

‘Warrior Day’ in Richmond Special to the News

In the tyke category (ages 8-10), Duncan Kemp of Richmond had a one yard advantage over runner-up Curtis Brohman of Ottawa. Duncan had 55 yards in total while Curtis had 54 yards. Alex Miles of Barrhaven was third with 48 yards. Close to 100 youth interested in playing football attended this second annual “Warrior Day,” taking part in a football clinic where they were able to learn more about football while also having some fun. Registration for the upcoming 2013 tackle football tryouts of the Bell Warriors was also available. The Bell Warriors Football Club also took the occasion of this “Warrior Day” to introduce two new programs which the Club has implemented this year. One is a “Hand-Me-Down” program which encourages Warrior supporters to recycle cleats and Warrior Wear clothing for others to use. The other is a Warrior Food Bank program that will see the Bell Warriors accept non-perishable food items for local food banks at every Warrior team practice, event and game this season. These programs have been introduced this season because, as Bell Warriors Football Club president says, the Club has “a small army of supporters who are dedicated to make a difference in our young players’ lives and in our community.” Tryouts for the Bell Warriors tackle football program this season start just after the upcoming May long weekend. It is not too late to register for these tryouts and to have fun playing football with the Bell Warriors. For more details, go to www.bellwarriors.ca or email president@bellwarriors.ca.

EMC sports - Punting, passing and kicking are all prized talents on the football field, whether in the National Football League, the Canadian Football League, university football or community minor football. And so you just know that a punt-pass-kick competition at last Saturday’s second annual “Warrior Day” of the Bell Warriors Football Club at the Richmond fairgrounds in Richmond was one of the highlights of the day. Youth attending this football clinic/registration day had to chance to compete against others in their minor football age categories in this punt-pass-kick competition, with the combined yardage achieved by each competitor determining the winners. In the bantam category (ages 15 & 16), Quinn Stewart of Richmond placed first with a sizeable 26 yard margin of victory. Indeed, the 51 yard pass by this 15 year old set a competition record. Jacob Stuart-Lafleur of Bells Corners was second with a total of 105 yards while Liam Cochrane of Nepean was third with a total of 99 yards. In the pee wee category (ages 13 & 14), Tyler Brohman of Ottawa topped the field with 107 yards in combined yardage. Noah Hunt of Stittsville was second with a total of 94 yards while Malik Yusuf of Stittsville was third with 91 yards.

‘Textures’ at gallery john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It’s called “Textures of the Season” and it corresponds to its name not only visually but also for many of its works in a sensual, physical way as well. It’s the new exhibit at the Ottawa West Arts Association gallery in the foyer area at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex on Shea Road in Stittsville, an exhibit that will remain place now until Friday, July 5. And even the Oxford Canadian Dictionary acknowledges, in its varied definitions for the word “Textures,” that textures can be either visual in nature (“the presentation of the tactile quality and nature of a surface in a photograph, painting, etc.”) or actually physically real (“the surface of a thing assessed in terms of its roughness, smoothness, softness, etc. by the sense of, especially, sight and touch”). And so a stroll around the owaa gallery for this exhibit will expose you to both versions, although the exhibit with its 31 works of art leans much more to the visual than to the physical version of the “Textures of the Season.” Patrick Mason’s “Rocks and Forest, Gatineau Park,” while an oil painting, has the look of a mixed media masterpiece. Its prevalent green flecked with red, yellow and other colours conveys a mass of foliage. You feel that you could just reach out into the painting and touch that foliage, with its seemingly different contours – they aren’t there physically but visually they sure are. And as you are looking at this Patrick Mason eye-catcher, you can’t help also to notice Donna Wiegand’s oil painting right beside it, bearing the rather unassuming title of “Red Tulip #8” but it is anything but unassuming. Indeed, if its predecessors, which we presume are Red Tulips # 1 through #7 are anything like this striking work, the move over, Tulip Festival. You have met your match. This “Red Tulip #8” has the interior of a red tulip bloom filling just about the whole canvas, becoming like a giant moon crater with the tulip’s stamens readily visible. All in all, “Red Tulip #8” is another painting which just jumps out at the viewer thanks to its visual texture. Wendy Russell’s acrylic painting “Button Up” portrays three buttons on a brown coat that are so visually lifelike, you almost feel like reaching up and un-buttoning them. You are lured into the painting by the texture of the coat that is portrayed. And no report on an exhibit entitled “Textures of the Season” would be complete without mentioning Lisa Scott’s acrylic painting that bears the name “Textures,” dominated by

four blue vertical lines but also featuring other colours like white and gray. If you’re looking for a painting that evokes the very meaning of texture, then the mixed media work by Kat McClure entitled “Night Vision” fills the bill. Its portrayal of textures, ripples and the like make it a natural for this exhibit. Or take a gander at Sheila Turner Whalen’s fluid acrylic called “Cotton Balls” with its surface roughness. It not only portrays texture but also has a physical texture thanks to the artist’s skilful treatment. And so goes the whole exhibit. It’s just a cornucopia of different interpretations of “Textures of the Season.” So you have Sandy Woods’ mixed media creation “Shadows” with its ornate representations; Michael Goguen’s “Nature’s Force,” a scene of a castle in a forest with mountains in the background and a waterfall and arch bridge in the foreground, a scene that jumps out at you, like a picture in a fairy tale book; Salena Richard’s acrylic “Breaking Sea” with its swirls of orange, yellow, green and more, sweeping in one direction like waves bursting upon a shore; and Sheila Murphy’s acrylic “Suzhou China” which depicts a building reflected in an adjacent waterway but which the viewer gets the sense of almost feeling the texture of the building’s cladding and its roof tiles. And one painting with a real “wow” factor is “Pour Vous,” an acrylic by Soraya Silvestri “Zizi,” a series of forms with a brown prevalence but with black, white and red accent lines throughout – it’s a painting that seems to literally jump off the wall at you. This new exhibit “Textures of the Season” at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex foyer in Stittsville merits a view at some time over the next two months of its run at the gallery. The gallery is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. so there’s lots of opportunity to do so. You may just find a painting that you love and end up purchasing, ending up a very lucky person. But you also may just end up enjoying a few minutes or more viewing a series of original paintings that show the amazing talents and creativity of the owaa member artists. It would be minutes well spent and most enjoyable. Other artists who have a painting in this “Textures of the Season” exhibition include Louise Barker, Alain Bernard, Patrick Bourke, Judith Carruthers, Trudy Daley, John Edkins, Roseanne Facchin, Mark Grasza, Stephen Harrison, Jan Inniss, Tammy MacAllister, Ana Maria Rutenberg, Sylvie Sabourin, Anita Schlarb, Gerald Smith, Betty Elizabeth Sullivan, Vera Van Baaren and Inge J.

Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) member artist Michael Goguen stands beside the painting which he had on exhibit at the “Metamorphosis” exhibition which ran from March through to Friday, May 3 at the owaa gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville. He has another work, an oil painting named “Nature’s Force, in the new “Textures of the Season” exhibition now on display at the owaa gallery.

Salvador Dali influence John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) member artist Michael Goguen acknowledges that famed Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali is one of the influences in his work. But he would not be considered a strict follower of the Dali style as his paintings combine a mixture of both realism and surrealism. Mr. Goguen also admits to drawing inspiration from literature. He works with watercolours, acrylics and oils but mostly oils. He likes the ease of working with acrylics, as they allow an artist to add fine details to the work in very little time. But time also plays a part in why he prefers oils. He says that oil paintings have withstood the test of time over the centuries. Oil paintings have been around for 500 years; the

same can’t be said as yet for acrylics. Mr. Goguen started drawing when he was old enough to hold a pencil. When he was 13, he wanted to add colour to his drawings and so just before his 14th birthday, he took up oil painting. He admits that it took him several years to get up to speed on the intricacies of painting with oils. For a number of years, he stayed away from bright colours in his work but he has gradually over the years worked these colours into his paintings. He has seen his style evolve over the years, not only incorporating brighter colours but paying more attention to detail. He incorporates more natural light and shade effects into his painting nowadays. Mr. Goguen stopped painting altogether for about eight years after the birth of twins in 2003. However, about a year and a half ago, he resumed painting. He admits that he missed it in those years when

he was away from it but he was too busy being a father and did not have the time to devote to his art. He says that an artist is always on the road to improvement. “It’s a continuous improvement,” he says, noting that there is always room for improvement as an artist, no matter how experienced the artist may be. Mr. Goguen has exhibited in recent exhibitions at the owaa gallery and he has one of his works in the new exhibition which opened last Saturday entitled “Textures of the Season.” It is an oil painting entitled “Nature’s Force.” This new exhibition at the owaa gallery will be on display through to Friday, July 5. The owaa gallery is located in the foyer of the Goulbourn Recreation Complex (GRC) on Shea Road in Stittsville. It is open seven days a week whenever the GRC itself is open. R0012079925

EMC sports - The more things have changed, the more they have stayed the same at the Richmond Centennial Golf Club in Richmond. Things may have changed over the 46 years since the opening of the Richmond Centennial Golf Club both in terms of the golf industry in general and also this local course but one thing which hasn’t changed is the down-to-earth values on which the Richmond course is based. “We pride ourselves on being a smaller course,” says owner Mike Pasieka. “We try our best to cater to families and we try to keep a relaxed laid back atmosphere.”

That’s why, for instance, the Richmond Centennial Golf Club offers a weekly family day. Every Sunday after 4 p.m. youngsters aged 13 and under can play golf for only $5. This provides families with a great opportunity to spend some time together while children learn how to play golf. Mr. Pasieka, who took over management of the golf course from his father, the late Art Pasieka, in 1992, opened the course on Friday, April 26 this year. The long winter and cold spring does not seem to have had an adverse impact on the course’s greens. “It was an average winter,” Mr. Pasieka says. “I mean, we’ve had better but it could have been a lot worse

as we’ve seen in the past.” “There has been quite a change in the golf industry since I took over,” he says. A major change at Richmond Centennial has been the addition of nine more holes, making it an 18 hole layout. Over the years, July has been the busiest month at the course but activity grows gradually starting in May. Again this summer, the course is holding the Tyler Kerr Memorial Golf Tournament which is the biggest tournament staged there during the season. The tournament is held in honour of Tyler Kerr, a Richmond Munster Minor Hockey Association player who died while playing in a hockey game. But the course also hosts a num-

ber of smaller tournaments throughout the season, the major put on by companies and corporations wanting to host tournaments for their staff. Until May 17, the course is offering a special rate on green fees. Nine holes of golf costs only $14 per person while 18 holes can be played for only $20 per person. The course has a full range of rentals including carts and is always open to members of the public. The Richmond Centennial Golf Club, founded in 1967, Canada’s Centennial Year, is located at 3797 Joy’s Road in Richmond, accessible via Joy’s Road south off Franktown Road just west of the village, or via Ottawa Street just past the Richmond SYDNEY STEELE Legion Hall. To book tee times, you can call the course at 613-838-4791 John Dallaire is all lined up, ready or you can book online at http://www. to putt, at the Richmond Centennial Golf Club in Richmond. richmondcentennialgolf.com/

ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AND RED LIGHT RUNNING The Ottawa Police Service’s Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEP) will focus on motorcycle safety and red light running as part of its ongoing commitment to keeping Ottawa’s roads safe. Between 2007 and 2011, there were 795 collisions involving motorcycles resulting in 557 injuries and 14 fatalities. For Red Light Running, there were 4,042 collisions involving red light running resulting in 1,875 injuries and 8 fatalities. CONSTRUCTION SEASON IN OTTAWA

At grill Perry Harkin grills some hot dogs and hamburgers at the IODE Walter Baker Chapter fundraising BBQ held outside the Giant Tiger store at the Jackson Trails Centre plaza in Stittsville last Saturday.

FUTURE SHOP CORRECTION NOTICE

Residents will be notified in advance of the official start of construction and will be kept up-to-date every step of the way. Work is being done in an organized fashion and the City has systems in place to manage construction-related traffic disruptions and help the public travel to their destinations. For more information on the upcoming projects, including the Confederation Line transit project or for information about how the construction will affect residents, visit www.ottawa.ca. SCHOOLS IN THE EARLY DAYS In the early days of the 1800’s school was held for 12 months of the year! It was only later that the decision was made to create a two-month intermission from school so that children could help their parents on the farm. Although children were encouraged to go to school, some did not spend many years there and those that did were not always present on a regular basis. In 1862, the Superintendent of Schools Report shows 13 schools in existence in Goulbourn. The document also tells us how many children attended each school and how much their teachers were paid annually. Each year this report was presented to the Municipal Council of Carleton. *Information regarding the “Did you know‌â€? story was taken from the book Stittsville a Sense of Place by Barbara Bottriell, 1998 As your Councillor, I always welcome your input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville. You can reach my office by emailing shad.qadri@ottawa.ca or by dialling 613-580-2476.

Blood donor clinic in Richmond Special to the News

EMC news – There’s a community blood donor clinic coming up in Richmond this month. Canadian Blood Services is holding the blood donor clinic on Thursday, May 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond. To book an appointment to give blood at this clinic, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2DONATE (1-888-2366283). All blood donations at community blood donor clinics held by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood.

NEWS Continued from page 3

It all arose out of a posting to Ottawa. For most military spouses and personnel, moving is a frequent occurrence but usually it involves living on a CF base with its tightly knit and homeogenous community. Indeed, military spouses become very resilient and accustomed to long absences from spouses due to the frequent moves. Often they are living in provinces away from any family support, so friends become very important. But being posted to the Ottawa area means that these military families no longer live together on a base and although people are gener-

ally friendly, they often are unfamiliar with the life experiences of military spouses caused by frequent moves and deployments. That’s why Beth Basinger created a Facebook Page to help CF spouses in Stittsville and Ottawa meet each other. She started this Facebook group for Canadian Forces Spouses (Stittsville CF Spouses) last November and already it has 90 members. The spouses now meet frequently for breakfasts and pub nights, walking groups and event book clubs. The Stittsville Legion is supportive of the group, providing space to meet. And now this group of current military spouses is reaching out to the military spouses who are now living in retirement homes, brought together by their collective experiences and lifestyle as military spouses.

Finishing a basement EMC lifestyle - A lot of extra living space can be added to a home just by finishing the basement. As well as increasing the value of your house, a finished basement can also improve your quality of life if you design it according to your tastes and your requirements. In your remodelled space you could set up an office or a wine cellar, add a bedroom or a corner for relaxing, create a play area for the children or an activity centre for teenagers, or build a family room or a home cinema. Whatever type of project you decide on, include an extra bathroom in the plan and a practical laundry room with a clothing chute from the upper floors to the basement. Don’t forget to work in plenty of storage space as well as sufficient electrical outlets, telephone jacks and cable connections. Once you decide on exactly what you want,

your next step is to draw up a plan. This will help you ensure that there is room enough for people to circulate. Decide if you prefer enclosed rooms or open areas. If activities that require quiet and concentration are planned, such as a home office, a library or a bedroom, you will probably opt for enclosed rooms. On the other hand, an open area is perfect if you plan to spend time in a communal, multifunctional space, such as in a rec room, home cinema or exercise area. Draw up a list of the necessary materials and determine what work you can do yourself and what you need to entrust to a contractor; the plumbing and electricity should be carried out by qualified professionals. Establish a schedule that takes into account your priorities and your budget, and you’re on A finished basement can be a leisure oasis by providing lots of comfortable space for the whole family. your way.

Texture now a factor in choice of flooring www.newscanada.com Special to the News

EMC lifestyle (NC) - Experts in the hardwood flooring industry are seeing a major shift in the way consumers are now choosing their floors as color is no longer king. Texture has emerged as the new “colour” when it comes to the main driving force behind wood flooring selections. “For years colour was always the top consideration for people looking for a hardwood floor, but over the last few years, texture has overtaken color as the new driver,” says Michel Collin, marketing director of Mercier Wood Flooring. “The reason behind this movement is that texture stimulates our senses with both tactile and visual elements.” The latest handscraped and distressed hardwood floors are good examples of how popular textures have become with discerning wood flooring consumers. According to Collin, there’s is a big demand for textured wood floors across North America where homeowners are looking to feature the distressed look of barn wood, prominent knots, or the natural sculptural and undulating lines of boards planed the old-fashioned way. “The texture trend is very hot with homeowners today and we have a feeling it’s here to stay,” added designer Marie François of Dolce Interieur in Montreal. Design tip: A rustic scrape will result in a more “distressed” look and is an ideal choice for an active family. A more sculpted floor with minor surface interruption is Hardwood flooring can add that extra special touch of distinction and class to a home. Texture has now become a major factor considered “classic” and fits perfectly in a contemporary in the selection of hardwood flooring for a home. decor.

Painting a room can make all the difference Accessories could be damaged by paint splashes. Plates around light switches and electrical outlets should also be removed, as well as any light shades. Next, protect the floorcovering with old sheets or a tarp. Ensure that any furniture that cannot be taken out of the room is well protected. Run a strip of masking tape or paint tape along all edges where there is a risk of getting paint, such as moldings, windows and door frames. All surfaces have to be prepared before starting to paint. Fill any

holes and modify any imperfections with wall putty and sand the walls smooth. Clean the surfaces to be painted and leave them to dry so that the primer and paint will adhere properly. Before getting started on the actual painting, it’s a good idea to get some advice from a home painting specialist. He or she will be able to tell you if you need to apply a coat of primer first and then calculate how much paint you will need for your project.

This advice can save you time and money. Now the time has come to put some colour into your room. Start by carefully applying paint along all edges with a brush: that means corners, window and door ledges, and at the top of walls along the ceiling. All you’ll have to do after that is to coat the rest of the walls with a roller in an up and down, down and up motion. Leave this first coat to dry and then apply a second coat or even a third one if necessary.

EMC lifestyle - In the design world, mixing a variety of textures, metallic finishes and bright colours will create an interesting visual effect. In the living room and the bedroom, for example, choose simple furniture, a neutral upholstery fabric and understated bedding which can be dressed up with more fashionable and extravagant accessories. A scattering of cushions is great for this task. Choose elegant yet comfortable cushions in a variety of complementary fabrics, tones, and patterns. Artwork has its place everywhere.

EMC news - Home security inspections allow community members to make their homes less susceptible to criminal activity. Residents learn how to make their homes safer based on proven crime prevention principles. At the request of a homeowner, Ottawa Police Service representatives visit the home to provide a safety audit. This involves assessing ways to make a home safer from criminal activity. The audit is based on a checklist and participants are provided with a booklet that identifies safety improvements, provides crime prevention tips and promotes other crime prevention initiatives offered by the Ottawa Police Service. To arrange a free home security inspection, contact your local Community Police Centre. Information about local Community Police Centres can be obtained by phoning 613-236-1222.

Friday night was always the time to get ready for peddling Mother’s wares in Renfrew the next day. There was a regular routine that never varied as long as we lived in Northcote and was one of my favourite evenings in the entire week. Audrey and I would gather the eggs from the hen house. Mother’s sticky buns would be wrapped in wax paper, freshly plucked chickens singed and laid out on the bake table on a clean white sheet, ready to be packed in the Model T in the morning. Then every Saturday without fail, Mother headed into Renfrew to go door-to-door with what we had prepared the night before. On Saturday, it was my job to churn the butter in the middle of the kitchen. It was butter day and that never varied. Saturday was also bake day. Bread would be ready for the oven by the time we got back from Renfrew, pie crusts would be filled and as always a slab cake would be at the ready just in case neighbours dropped in for a game of euchre that night.

be ironed and hanging on the hook by the stove. Without fail, Tuesday was the day the ironing was done. At mealtimes, things never varied. Breakfast was the very same every morning: big bowls of porridge, fried potatoes, back bacon and thick slices of homemade bread slathered with butter and jam. Dinner was always at noon -- there was no such thing as lunch in the middle of the day. The routine of mid-day dinner never varied. Father expected, and got, meat, potatoes, one or two different vegetables and an ample piece of homemade pie. After all, his work had begun at dawn, and even though his breakfast was ample, by noon it had worn off and he was more than ready for what he called “a decent meal.” The routine continued at supper: meat and potatoes, but dessert would be preserves. We never went to bed without something to tide us over to morning. I couldn’t imagine this routine being broken. This was all part of our life on the farm.

KANATA AND STITTSVILLE’S PREMIER RETIREMENT RESIDENCE OFFERING INDEPENDENT CARE SERVICES

On May 14th, 2013 join the Children’s Aid Society of Ottawa (CASO) in supporting Children and Youth in Care Day. This month, we are celebrating the strength and resilience of the approximately 700 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. Some of them are removed from their homes for a short period of time until circumstances are 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. We recognize the bravery and resilience shown by these children and youth in the face of adversity. The strength they have developed is admirable. It is for this reason we are asking you to join the children and youth in care in being Strong and Proud.

EMC lifestyle - My sister Audrey said she was tired of the same old routine day in and day out. Well, Audrey could say what she liked about routine and how bored she was with it, but I liked how our lives on the farm were so orderly, and as far as I was concerned I wanted nothing to change. Every Monday morning, our beds didn’t have to be made up because that was the day the sheets were stripped and Mother did the washing. Monday was wash day. I knew that on Monday night there would be fresh sheets on our beds, taken right off the clothes line and smelling of spring and the outdoors. That night, I didn’t mind in the least going to bed. Every Tuesday when we came from school, we could smell in the kitchen the scent of newly ironed clothes. Shirts would be draped over chairs, tea towels stacked neatly in a pile on the kitchen table ready to be put in the drawer in the back-to-the-wall cupboard. Even our pinny aprons would

Mother’s Day is about looking good and feeling great from the inside out! Begin her morning with a cup of warm water and the juice of half of a lemon to wake up the digestion. Save the other half of the lemon to make an awakening hot towel by mixing hot water with the juice of the other half of the lemon. Lemon is a natural astringent and will leave her skin feeling fresh, clean and glowing. Then treat Mom to a refreshing bowl of quinoa with berries and lemon zest. The high fibre helps to balance blood sugar and helps collagen production to keep her skin glowing and healthy.

GRAPESEED AVOCADO OIL NIGHT MOISTURIZER

As a gift you can make her a Grapeseed Avocado Oil Night Moisturizer with this simple recipe, and then enjoy your Mother’s Day with family and friends!

Grapeseed oil (great for normal, oily, or acne-prone skin) Avocado oil (incredibly regenerating, this oil is known for its firming & anti-aging abilities – as a bonus it penetrates deep into the skin for better absorption of nutrients like vitamin A, D, E giving you wonderful anti-inflammatory properties.)

The importance of strength training: Develop strong bones – strength training increases bone density and reduces the risk of osteoporosis. Control your weight – as you gain muscle, your body will burn calories more efficiently – which can result in weight loss. Reduce your risk of injury – building muscle helps protect your joints from injury. It can also contribute to better balance, which can assist in maintaining your independence as you age. Boost stamina – as you get stronger, you won’t fatigue as easily. Manage chronic conditions – strength training can reduce symptoms and signs of many chronic conditions such as arthritis, back pain, depression, diabetes and osteoporosis. Sharpen your focus – some research suggests that regular strength training helps improve attention for older adults.

Fill your small bottle just under ⅔ of the way with grapeseed oil. Add the avocado oil until the bottle is almost full. Apply topically to the face at night to help moisturize and reduce fine lines.

Grateful for CHEO’s Support Jonathan was diagnosed with epilepsy, a complex neurological condition. Although some people with epilepsy have mild symptoms, others like

him unconscious. After the initial excitement that his seizures were under control thanks to medications commonly used to treat epilepsy, they returned with a vengeance. In fact during one such episode his parents had to call 911 to ensure their son would make it to CHEO as quickly as possible because he was struggling to breathe.

By Isabelle Mailloux Pulkinghorn

Jonathan Puerto was born healthy but a few weeks later began having seizures after he woke up from his naps. Worried, his parents Elizabeth Pineda and Jose Eduardo Puerto took him to their pediatrician who referred them to CHEO. Under the trusted care of Dr. Sharon Whiting, a pediatric neurologist, Jonathan underwent testing to identify the cause of the severe seizures he experienced on a daily basis, some of which left him Tests revealed a lesion on the front left side of his brain, the result of a stroke he had likely suffered at birth. Then at six months of age, following additional testing to eliminate other conditions,

To make things worse, when Jonathan was six years old, he had a severe allergic reaction to the standard seizure drug that paramedics carry and went into anaphylactic shock.CHEO specialists were able to help him and to search for another medication to control his seizures.Dr. Whiting Ottawa Public Health to lobby for Jonathan. They now carries his new medication with him at all times to ensure paramedics can access it when he needs to be transported to CHEO. “That is the CHEO difference. Our son’s doctor took the time to not only identify the best medicine for him, but she made calls herself to various agencies to ensure they’d use this new medication to keep our son safe,� explains Elizabeth, who shudders as she recalls a particularly severe seizure that lasted 24 hours. “Without that care plan, Jonathan’s life would be at risk.�

Further tests revealed that Jonathan also suffers from cerebral palsy, and he’s since been diagnosed as having autism.Despite those additional challenges, Jonathan is thriving. He speaks three languages, and is in a special needs grade four class where he loves working on the computer, playing with trucks and being with his friends. One role he particularly enjoys is that of older brother to his 18 month old sibling David. Ultimately, the goal is for Jonathan to live his best life, seizure-free and safe. For now, there has been some progress: though he still has occasional seizures they only last 10 minutes or less, as opposed to hours at a time—and their frequency decreased from daily episodes to once every two weeks.If Jonathan’s seizures were to come back at a higher frequency, the next step would be brain surgery but his parents are hopeful that he can avoid that‌ at least for a while. “Jonathan is a good boy and he’s so handsome,â€? coos Elizabeth. “My husband and I are very proud of him because despite all his health issues he remains a positive little boy who is very loving and caring. Every morning he wakes up with a smile on his face. We are lucky to have him and his brother David.â€? Jonathan will be ten years old in June.With the help of his loving family, their friends and the expert CHEO staff, this young boy can trust that he is in good hands and that he will be well cared for with a treatment plan tailor-made to his needs.And this is something the Puerto family is truly grateful for.
