EMC news - The Stittsville United Pentecostal Church has turned the sod for its new addition. Pastor Dwayne McCarty and longtime, now retired Pastor Alonzo Dummitt used gold-coloured shovels as she turned the ceremonial first pieces of sod to mark the beginning of the project. Preliminary site clearing for the new 12,000 square foot addition which will be linked to the rear of the existing two storey church facility is to begin this week. At the sod turning, which took place following the church’s Mother Day service, Pastor McCarty praised the work of all those who had gone before and have helped build the church and its congregation. He prayed not only for all those who have carried the torch for the church along the way to the present day but also prayed for the project and all those who had guided it to this point and all those who would be working on the new addition in the coming months. His prayer was answered with a resounding “Amen” by the congregation which had assembled around the ceremonial sod turning area at the rear of the present church. Chilly weather prevailed for the event but there was no rain. It is expected that the new addition will be completed within a year. The steel framework should go up fairly quickly but some of the interior trades work may require some time. A dedication and opening perhaps around Mother’s Day in 2014 may be what happens. The new addition is going to feature a 500 seat auditorium/worship space, much larger than the current space in the existing church facility which seats about 215 people. When the new addition is in use, the existing church building will be totally used for the church’s education and Sunday School programming needs. Another access to and from the church’s parking lot onto Flewellyn Road to the south is part of this project. The main entrance to the church will be on the south side of the new addition, facing the parking lot. JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Mar Gard Builders Limited of Ottawa is the general Rev. Dwayne McCarty, left, pastor at the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church on Stittsville Main contractor for the project. Mar Gard built the addition to Street in Stittsville, and Rev. Alonzo Dummitt, right, the longtime, now retired pastor at the church, Stittsville United Church in Stittsville and also build the together turn over the first pieces of sod at a ceremonial sod turning ceremony at the church last Sani-Sol building on Iber Road in Stittsville.

Sunday, marking the beginning of the construction of a new 12,000 square foot addition to the church that will include a 500-seat auditorium/worship area.

Cheering on Ottawa Senators in Stittsville John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Stittsville Glass and Signs is in the heart of Stittsville in more ways than one. It not only is physically located beside Village Square Park right in the heart of downtown Stittsville but also it is an Ottawa Senators fan and supporter par excellence and nothing could be closer to the sentimental heart of Stittsville residents. For this year’s Stanley Cup playoff run by the Sens, Stittsville Glass and Signs has erected a new 4 foot by 8 foot sign on top of an older, similarly sized sign, both of which cheer on the Sens to Stanley Cup success. The new sign along Stittsville Main Street, in front of the Stittsville Glass and Signs building, reads: “We’re United in Red! Supporting Our Sensational Sens on the Road to the (picture of Stanley Cup on the lower, older sign)� “Go Sens Go� and “Be Loud Be Proud!!� are phrases on the lower sign. Of course, there is more to the Stittsville Glass and Signs display including Merle the Mannequin wearing a Sens jersey. Merle is a longstanding Sens fan, ever since he arrived at Stittsville Glass and Signs, having been given away by someone. Merle faithfully stands out by Stittsville Main Street, beside the giant sign, cheering on the Sens and appealing for honks of support from passing motorists. And these honks come, an increasing number as Sens fever takes over as the Sens advance in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Stittsville Glass and Signs display also includes a Sens flag, Sens logos and even a sandwich board sign about the availability of Alfie decals. And Luc and Nancy Therrien of Stittsville Glass and Signs are joined by the staff in their rabid support of the Sens.

Even Sugar Bear, Nancy Therrien’s small dog, has a Sens logo on his forehead. Nancy Therrien notes that her

brothers are rabid Montreal Canadiens fans, yet they had gone suddenly uncharacteristically quiet after the Sens 6-1 victory on Tuesday,

May 7, a score and outcome that repeated itself in the Sens/Habs playoff game on Thursday, May 9 as the Sens won the first round playoff se-

ries four games to one and advanced to the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, taking on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

EMC news - Horses are to be part of a grand opening event at Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour in Stittsville this Sunday, May 19.

Lois ‘N’ Frima’s conďŹ rms from over 30 years operating an ice cream parlour in downtown Ottawa that horses love vanilla ice cream. Yes, they have had horses as customers at the downtown location. If you doubt this, plan to attend the grand opening event and see for yourself. There’s also going to be dogs on hand but the eating, not petting, kind. Hot dogs that will be available for only 50 cents each, along with all the appropriate condiments. “We’re going to try to make it a fun day,â€? Frank Olszynko says about the grand opening event. Mr. Olszynko, who operates the Heads Up barber shop at the Ultramar Plaza on Stittsville Main Street where Lois ‘N’ Frima’s Homemade Ice Cream parlour is also located, is the husband of Frima Olszynko who is the Frima in Lois ‘N’ Frima’s.

Cakes, dancing at Holy Spirit open house Special to the News

EMC news - Cakes and dancing were both attention grabbers in the gymnasium at the Catholic Education Week open house at Holy Spirit Catholic School in Stittsville on Thursday morning, May 9. The gym was the site of the annual cake parade where a variety of cakes

were on display, with students able to buy tickets and submit them in the raffle draw bag for a favoured cake. And what a parade of cakes it was! There was one with a Stanley Cup on it. There was a tower made of Smarties and Aero bars. Another cake featured a Spiderman figure.

Chloe Despatie’s cake was loaded with bubble gum and other goodies. A blue car decorated the cake made by Michelle and Lana Mulvihill. Or what about the chocolate cake made by Janie, Jessie and Joseph Trudeau. Abigail Smith’s clown cake was an eye-catcher. But the gym was also the site of

a dance demonstration by the two groups of Holy Spirit students who later that same day were performing in the Ottawa Catholic School Board’s Catholic Education Week dance showcase at Sacred Heart High School. With over 100 parents and siblings watching, the two groups presented their dance routines that they would be dancing at the showcase later in the day. Both performances were

warmly received by those watching. The corridor walls at the school were covered with art and other work done by the students. The foyer at the school featured tables filled with breakfast snacks such as muffins and bananas. Many enjoyed its offerings. Many attending the open house were greeted at the front door by principal Caroline Tarrant, assisted by a couple of students who managed the doors.

Rain barrels Special to the News

EMC news - Rain barrels are still available from the Stittsville Village Association (SVA). The SVA ordered additional barrels this year so that there are still some available after the “delivery day” on Saturday, April 20. These additional barrels are now being stored and displayed at Stittsville Sobeys and are available for sale there at the price of $55 per barrel, the same price as prevailed last year and this year. A number have already been sold but there is still lots left, on display at the store. Most of them are black in colour but the price can’t be beaten. The SVA receives $10 of this $55 selling price which the SVA then uses for its expenses. The SVA organizes such community events as Art and Authors in the Park, Canada Day celebrations, Villagefest and the Christmas Parade of Lights. Longer sections of overflow hose than the four feet that normally comes with the rain barrel are available as well. For more information about additional overflow hose, contact SVA immediate past president Marilyn Jenkins at 613-836-5075 or visit Stittsville Sobeys. Rain barrels provide a free source of water that is ideal for vegetables and plants since it does not contain fluoride and chlorine which are added to many municipal water systems. Collecting rain water also decreases pressure and the chance of overflow with urban storm sewer systems during heavy rains. Rain barrels also provide homeowners with a source of water for washing vehicles when summertime water-use restrictions may be in force in a municipality. The United Nations has designated March 22 as World Water Day to highlight the importance of fresh water. Today, over one billion people in the world lack access to clean water.

Special to the News

The Stittsville United Pentecostal Church formally began on July 1, 1967, with Rev. and Mrs. Dixon as its founders. Its first permanent home was in the building at the corner of Orville Street and Pretty Street which is now the Pretty Street Community Centre. It was about 20 years ago that the church relocated, moving to a larger site and new two-storey building on Stittsville Main Street at Stanley’s Corners, with the property having frontage on both Stittsville Main Street and Flewellyn Road just east of Stanley’s Corners. Rev. Paul Graham served the church as Pastor in the 1975-76 period, followed by Rev. David Phillips who was Pastor from 1976 to 1980. It was in March, 1981 that Rev. Alonzo Dummitt became Pastor of the Stittsville United Pentecostal Church, a position that he would retain until his retirement in 2011. He is now serving as Superintendent of the United Pentecostal Church Ontario District while still remaining active at the Stittsville church. Rev. Dwayne McCarty took over as Pastor upon Rev. Dummitt’s retirement and has led the church to this new stage in its growth and development.

This group writes and performs a lot of original music, reecting the stylings of classic rock as well as being inuenced by various blues, rhythm and blues and jazz greats. The “Richmond Ramblersâ€? consisting of Dale Cole, Glen Trebble, John Estabrooks, Steve Nauss, Elly Wedge, Kristin Grzegorek and Randall Armstrong will also be performing. This group is known for its entertaining mix of classic country and Ottawa Valley bluegrass. And the alternative rock scene has not been forgotten. “The Untied Inmateâ€? will be performing, providing alternative rock music from such artists as Weezer, The Who, Kings of Leon and Neon

Trees. And while this musical entertainment will be the big attraction for this Richmond stage show event on Saturday, June 22 at the Richmond fairgrounds, there will be lots more to see and do. The Classic Car Club will be on hand, with probably 30 classic vehicles on display. There’s also going to be a magic show and dance demonstrations will be taking place. The Capital City Garrison – 501 Legion will be bringing a Star Wars atmosphere to the event, with their laser swords and Storm Trooper costumes. This will create a science ďŹ ction/fantasy environment thanks to their professional-grade costumes and props. If you enjoy Stars Wars, you will want to be there. There will also be an arm wres-

tling demonstration. This is all being done by the Richmond Village Association (RVA) as a way of providing a day of entertainment suitable to those of all ages. And best of all, there will be free admission thanks to the support of the Richmond business community for RVA activities. The RVA, though, is still seeking community members who might wish to volunteer to help out on that day. This might include helping with the parking or working back stage or helping with security and other functions on the grounds. Anyone who might want to volunteer to help with this community event should email richmondevents@ live.ca , providing name and contact information.

First Mayor’s rural Expo at city hall

a burger from The Works as well as chips and a drink. If you can’t attend the Food Aid barbeque, you can still donate $10 to the food bank by texting BEEF to 45678. Seven or eight rural musicians, including the Osgoode High School band, will perform throughout the day. While the event is meant as a celebration of rural culture and business,

Watson said he and the rural members of city council will be at the expo and are open to talking about any rural issues residents might care to discuss. If the event is a success and the exhibitors ďŹ nd it worthwhile, Watson said he will look at bringing it back next year. The city is spending $4,000 to put on the event, mostly in advertising and banners.

EMC news - Mayor Jim Watson has made it a point to tout the city’s rural attributes, but even he was surprised to learn there is a cranberry bog in Ottawa. The Upper Canada Cranberry Farm in Osgoode is just one of the rural producers that will be on display during the ďŹ rst Mayor’s Rural Expo on Friday, May 31 at city hall. “We have such great assets that people don’t even know about,â€? Watson said. The idea to showcase a couple dozen of the city’s rural farms, museums, events and non-proďŹ t organizations emerged during the 2010 election campaign, when Watson said he was struck by how disconnected urban and even suburban residents are from the vast rural part of the city outside the Greenbelt. “There wasn’t a sense that the downtown communities had a sense of how big rural Ottawa really is,â€? Watson said. Putting on the expo during the annual Food Aid event is a way to bring the country to the city and encourage Ottawans to support small local businesses in the city’s countryside, the mayor said. There are a whopping 1,128 farms operating within Ottawa’s boundaries and they produce a gross income of $206 million annually, Watson said. “When I tell people that, they are blown away,â€? he said. While many rural businesses and organizations rely on patronage from their local communities, Watson sees an opportunity for economic devel-

opment. “We want to encourage people to go visit rural Ottawa,� he said. Whether it’s a meal in Manotick or a bed and breakfast in Cumberland, staying within city limits offers great opportunities for a staycation, the mayor said, and he wants to help show off those options. The expo will feature displays of everything from the Osgoode Medieval Festival and the Deifenbunker to the Dairy Farmers of Canada, and of course, the Upper Canada Cranberry Farm. The expo will kick off with a $5 pancake breakfast supplied by Proulx Maple and Berry Farm and Stanley’s Olde Maple Lane Farm from 7 to 9

a.m. The mayor won’t have to bring the travel-sized bottle of syrup from the Vanier sugar shack that he normally totes to such breakfasts because there will be ample real maple syrup on hand. More than 30 rural businesses, museums, festivals and organizations will display information and wares at booths from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Local celebrities will try their hands at milking a cow during two competitions taking place at 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The Food Aid barbeque – a fundraiser for the Ottawa Food Bank – will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. For $10, hungry diners can grab

Let’s revel in Sens fever

T

he signs of spring are many in Ottawa. Tulips are in bloom, joggers and cyclists are more common sights along the canal and restaurant patios are once again becoming an afternoon destination. There’s definitely something else in the air this spring, however. There are a few more little red flags perched on the tops of cars, there are a more red T-shirts and jerseys marked by a distinctive Spartan logo adorning passers-by, and the streets and shops are a little more barren at around 7 p.m. every other evening. Yes, hockey fever has hit Ottawa a bit harder this spring. The Ottawa Senators eased past the Montreal Canadiens in five games last week, including a pair of raucous encounters at Scotiabank Place. For those without tickets, fans filled bars, restaurants and living rooms across the city to watch games on TV. The Sens Mile, the nickname given to Elgin Street come playoff time, is once again an exuberant, festive gathering place for both hardcore fans and fair-weather faithful alike. Securing passage to the second round of the National Hockey League playoffs will only draw larger crowds.

The city once dubbed the worst sports city in Canada is once again showing how off the mark such a comment was. It is times like these, when a city institution becomes something more than just a local curiosity, that the true value of sports teams becomes apparent. It turns everyone wearing Senators garb into a friendly face. It gives everyone at school or the office a chance to talk about something that is exciting and current, allowing people to cast aside their everyday worries and fears for a few fleeting weeks. But it doesn’t happen every year – the last time the Senators won a playoff round was 2007, when they reached the Stanley Cup final – and it only occurs in the springtime. Ottawans have only one hometown rooting interest when it comes to professional team sports so far, but that’s about to change. By the end of 2014, there will be a couple more players on the block in the form of Canadian Football League and North American Soccer League franchises. It will take a while for Ottawa fans to warm to their new clubs, but all it will likely take is a good postseason run to capture the sporting imagination. Let’s enjoy these days: they are part of what adds a splash of colour to the fabric of our city.

You can’t hear the birds sing by the parkway

s much as people would like to have the whole thing over with, it’s likely that the public controversy over the west-end LRT route will go on and on. Already, city council’s vote on the subject has been delayed by more than a month. Ostensibly that’s to allow for more community consultation. You can bet that more delays are to come. Rome wasn’t paved in a day. So we can talk about it some more. Today, let’s talk about the romanticizing of the Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway – or the Western Parkway, as it used to be known in less politicized times. To hear the National Capital Commission discuss it, in dismissing any talk of trains on the route, the parkway is one step removed from a wildlife refuge: a sea of green beside the river, the quiet broken only by the sounds of birds singing, the only signs of movement the leisurely pace of walkers and the silent glide of bicyclists. Clearly, in the NCC’s view, to put trains there would be to destroy a beauteous ecosystem. Well, the NCC hasn’t been out there when people are heading in to work in the morning and heading home in the afternoon. Then,

Funny Town instead of a sea of green, it becomes a sea of cars, ripping along at 80 kilometres per hour, often more, except when they are jammed up into long, motionless, exhaust-spewing lines waiting to turn onto the Champlain Bridge. Oh, yes, and buses, lots of buses, also disturb the wildlife refuge. It thins out quite a bit during off-peak hours and on the weekends, but the parkway is still the preferred route downtown for a lot of west-enders. In many ways, whatever its noble origins, whatever the lofty ideals of those who manage it, the parkway has become just a road, just another thing named after Sir John A. It is not sacred ground. Perhaps it once was. I should note that I live about a seven-minPublished weekly by:

ute walk from the proposed Byron Tramway tunnel. I don’t think it’s going to affect my life in any way and I actually don’t mind the idea all that much. But there are many who live closer who do, particularly those whose properties back onto the narrow strip by the parkway where the city proposes to put tracks. Others who live along Byron face a serious inconvenience, at least during the construction period if not after. Of course, people are always inconvenienced when a major project goes ahead. Some of us are called on to make sacrifices for the greater good. If, however, the decision was made to use the parkway for light rail, hooking up with the Transitway at its western end, only the NCC would be inconvenienced. That western end of the parkway is at quite a remove from residential properties and those who inhabit those properties are used to having hundreds of buses go by. The NCC would survive, you can be sure of that, perhaps turning its attentions to other projects that might improve the life of residents of the capital area. Speaking of which, is anything else ever going to happen on LeBreton Flats? Those who oppose light rail on the parkway and don’t like the Richmond-Byron alter-

native either, have strongly supported Carling Avenue as a light rail route. It can certainly be argued that the street is such a mess anyway that nothing could make it worse. So why not put light rail there? However, a convincing case has been set out, most recently in a lengthy Citizen article, that a light rail route using Carling would be logistically difficult in spots and prohibitively expensive, unless construction involved no bridges or tunnels. With the number of stoplights involved, the speed attained would be no greater than a streetcar. Hmmm, streetcars. Don’t some other cities have those? Don’t we wish we still did?

Besides the entertainment, the coffee house saw the sale of baked goods donated by the Richmond Bakery, a raffle draw and the sale

of bracelets. All of the funds raised at the coffee house, totaling $485, are being donated to Kids Help Phone. “I’m going to be donating all of the money online through the organization’s website or I will be taking it to one of their branch locations,” said organizer Leila Attar.

Win-win at garage sale Special to the News

EMC news - It’s a win-win situation. You can find a treasure while helping defray expenses of a youth trip to help in Nicaragua. What an opportunity! This win-win scenario will be available at a garage sale being held this Saturday, May 18 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at St. Thomas Anglican Church on Stittsville Main Street at Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville. All proceeds from the potentially treasure-laden garage sale will go towards helping defray expenses related to a ten-day group volunteer experience in Nica-

ragua in 2014. A group of young people calling themselves “Jumpin’ Spirits” at St. Thomas Anglican Church is planning this trip to Nicaragua under the auspices of the SchoolBOX program. Accompanied by several adults, they will participate in a ten-day group volunteer experience in Nicaragua, working alongside SchoolBOX staff and helping to build a school. In addition to this actual physical labour, they will also be sharing, playing and learning from the youth that they meet and from those in the communities that they will be visiting.

In order to participate in this trip to Nicaragua, each participant has to earn $250 over and above the cost of travelling to Nicaragua and the living expenses while there. This $250 per participant goes directly to the community project on which they will be working. And while you are visiting this garage sale, you might also take advantage of a “One Stop Shopping Trip” to make purchases at the plant sale and bake sale which are being held at St. Thomas Anglican Church on this same day,

Saturday, May 18. Proceeds from the plant sale are going to the spring planting and the upkeep of the church grounds while the proceeds from the bake sale will be used to support both local and city-wide charities. And this is not all – coffee and a muffin will also be available for all those who visit this busy St. Thomas Anglican Church site this coming Saturday, May 18 for either the garage sale, the plant sale, the bake sale or all three.

EMC news - You can help support the haemotology and transplant medicine division of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation through the Ross Cathcart Legacy Endowment Fund while enjoying a visit to a hidden garden oasis in Stittsville. Called a “Multi-Faceted Eden that must be seen to be believed,” Jo-Anne Ilkiw’s garden features gardens, ponds, waterfalls and even a race track. It must be seen to be truly appreciated, as those on the Stittsville-Goulbourn Horticultural Society’s garden tour two years ago discovered. And now you can discover it as well while also supporting the work of the haemotology and transplant medicine

division of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation. All it takes is a $100 donation ore more to the Ross Cathcart Legacy Endowment Fund of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation and you will be able to enjoy this garden party fundraiser on Sunday, June 16 running from 12 noon to 3 p.m. A rain date of Sunday, June 23 has been set just in case. A tax receipt for the full amount of the donation will be provided by the Ottawa Hospital Foundation.

Besides being able to enjoy this fantastic garden oasis, you will also be entertained with

live music by Duo d’Amore. Refreshments and a light lunch will be served. And even garden photos will be available for purchase. The Ross Cathcart Legacy Endowment Fund of the Ottawa Hospital Foundation which supports blood and marrow transplant medicine is in memory of the late Ross Cathcart, son of the Helen and the late Percy Cathcart of Goulbourn.

EMC news - Those in the audience at this Friday’s Music Evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville will be winners because they will be hearing and enjoying some great music from the musical combo of John Chmaj and Sandy Faux. But the real winner from the evening will be the Stittsville Food Bank because this regular Friday Music Evening is going to be a fundraiser for the Stittsville Food Bank. That means that donations, both non-perishable items as well as monetary ones, will be accepted that evening to help out the Stittsville Food Bank. While John Chmaj has performed previously at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville, this will be Sandy Faux’s ďŹ rst appearance there. Their musical relationship began last December when Sandy Faux heard John Chmaj perform and arranged to meet with him to talk about possibly performing together at times. In fact, this meeting actually took place right at the Gaia Java coffee shop in Stittsville and the result was positive in that they decided that they should do an engagement together. This turned out to be a New Year’s Eve gig at Ottawa city hall, playing before the outdoor concert that night featuring the Barra McNeils. This turned out to be an enjoyable musical experience for both John Chmaj and Sandy Faux, so they decided to try to do it again as a fundraiser for the Stittsville Food Bank because it is always helping people in the community. The real challenge was ďŹ nding an appropriate date since both John and Sandy have busy

schedules. But it has all come together and this Friday, May 17 at 7 p.m., the two will be performing at the Friday Music Evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop at the Stittsville Shopping Centre (Shoppers Drug Mart plaza) on Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville. Attendance at these Friday Music Evenings is free but this time those attending are asked to bring along non-perishable items for donation to the Stittsville Food Bank or be prepared to make a monetary donation to help out the Food Bank. Sandy Faux is an experienced singer. Four years ago, she and her husband Greg moved to Stittsville from Toronto to be closer to their daughter and her family. She had had a busy singing career in the Toronto area, singing with “The Mega City Big Band� and “The York Jazz Ensemble.� She won the award as Best Big Band Vocalist at the Canadian National Exhibition in both 2001 and 2002. Sandy also had her own quintet which performed at various events such as The Beaches Jazz Festival and the Toronto Street Festival. She has had to re-launch her performing career here in the Ottawa area. She sings with the “Standing Room Only Big Band� from Almonte, performing about once a month in the Ottawa area with this group. She also has a monthly gig at Vineyards Wine Bar on York Street in the Byward Market. As a former educator, she has been volunteering at Stittsville Public School, teaching music and directing choirs and mini-musical productions for the past four years. Last October Sandy received the Arts Recognition Award from the Ottawa District School Board in response to her volunteer efforts at Stittsville Public School.

‘People’s Choice’ balloting Special to the News

EMC news - Every exhibition at the Ottawa West Arts Association (owaa) gallery at the Goulbourn Recreation Complex in Stittsville not only provides an opportunity for members of the public to view unique, original

works of art by a variety of artists but also gives members of the public an opportunity to select their favourite pieces. This is the “People’s Choice” balloting which happens at every exhibition at the owaa gallery, with ballots

and a ballot box on hand at all times on top of the glass display case at the gallery’s main wall opposite the information desk in the lobby area of the GRC. Everyone viewing the exhibition is encouraged to submit a ballot identifying their favourite artwork in the current exhibit. For the just completed “Metamorphosis” exhibition which ran

from March 2 to May 3, the People’s Choice balloting winner was Denise Noonan’s “Biker Boy” painting. This mixed media work showed a Charlie Brown-type figure in a prison-style striped shirt on a big wheeled bike. Her top ranking was closely followed by Stephen Harrison’s “Spring Tulip,” a photograph of a tulip which has not yet burst forth.

Sandy Woods’ “Scintillation” placed third in the voting. This was a large acrylic painting with assorted colours including green, red, blue and black. The People’s Choice balloting for the new “Textures of the Season” exhibition at the owaa gallery is now underway and will remain open until the exhibition ends Friday, July 5.

Deck fire Special to the News

EMC news - Discarding a cigarette in a flower pot resulted in approximately $25,000 in fire damage at a home on Carleton Cathcart Street in Stittsville early on Tuesday afternoon, May 7.

It was about 12:08 p.m. when the Ottawa Fire Services were called to the home on the report of a fire. The resident had discovered the fire on the home’s rear deck and went to a neighbour’s home to call 9-1-1, prompting the firefighters’ response. On arrival, firefighters confirmed that the rear deck was on fire with the fire spreading to the exterior walls of the home. Firefighters quickly brought the fire under

control before it could spread to the interior of the home. Fire damage was contained to the deck and the rear exterior wall of the home with an estimated damage of $25,000. It was determine that the fire was the result of a discarded cigarette in a flower pot. The Ottawa Fire Services advises that cigarettes should not be extinguished in plant pots since they often contain a mixture of peat moss, shredded wood and bark that can easily ignite.

Other advice from Ottawa Fire Services about extinguishing cigarettes is to use large, deep ashtrays that cannot be knocked over; empty ashes into a metal container, not a garbage can, and put it outside away from combustible materials; do not throw lit cigarettes out of a vehicle window; and extinguish cigarette butts by dousing them with water or crushing them thoroughly in bare mineral soil or on bare rock, asphalt or cement.

South Carleton High School principal Trudy Garland stands in the barnyard of Bonnybrook Farm west of Richmond with the tractor which she drove to school on Wednesday morning, May 8 to mark her birthday.

South Carleton principal marks birthday driving tractor to school John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was from barnyard to schoolyard for South Carleton High School principal Trudy Garland on her birthday on Wednesday, May 8. She decided to mark her birthday by driving a tractor from her parents’ Bonnybrook Farm on Franktown Road west of Richmond to the high school. She had travelled to the school in the past by school bus and motorcycle as well as vehicle, so she thought that travelling to school via tractor would be a memorable experience, especially since this will be her last birthday as a high school principal as she is retiring at the end of the current school year. And what made it extra special for her was that she was joined on her tractor journey from the farmstead where she grew up to the high school by her father Bruce who drove another tractor, complete with a blade attachment as he was tasked to grade the high school’s track once on site at the high school. It dawned as a sunny day with the sun barely slanting down on the barnyard at Bonnybrook Farm as the two tractor “convoy� pulled out at 6:15 a.m., with Bruce leading the way on his older red Massey tractor, followed by Trudy, wearing a black cowboy hat, at the controls of the larger, newer blue Stoll tractor which Bruce only purchased last year. They crossed over the farm’s narrow bridge over the Jock River, which bisects the farm, and headed out to the Franktown Road, turning eastward to make their way to Richmond. The warning lights on Trudy’s tractor were flashing as a warning to the passing traffic of the presence of these slower moving vehicles. Travelling along the south edge of the road, they moved along as the early morn-

ing traffic passed them with regularity. The pair reached Richmond within half an hour, passing by the Richmond fire hall at the western edge of the village at 6:43 p.m. But once in Richmond, it was not directly to South Carleton High School. First, it was a stop at Royals Restaurant where despite being a little before the restaurant’s 7 a.m. opening hour, they were able to enter and enjoy a breakfast before heading out again about 7:40 a.m., headed for the high school. At the high school, Trudy pulled her big blue tractor right up the walkway to in front of the main doors, there to celebrate her successful tractor trip to the school that morning. But it should come as no surprise that Trudy was able to easily drive the tractor to school. Her father Bruce tells how Trudy was steering a tractor on the farm during haying when she was just five years old. And so it turned out to be a memorable birthday for Trudy, perhaps just as much as the birthday that she remembers when she was just six years old and received a gold bicycle as a birthday present, leaning against the wood pile at the farm. But to be able to do it with her father Bruce made this even extra special for her. And her mom Joan followed along in a vehicle. Indeed, they had a photo taken together, standing beside the tractor with South Carleton High School in the background. South Carleton High School has been a big part of Trudy Garland’s life. Not only has she been the school’s principal for the past eight years, she attended there as a student in the years 1972 to 1977. She had begun her schooling by walking from the home farm to S.S. No. 4, the stone oneroom schoolhouse on Franktown Road just west of Dwyer Hill Road. This is where her

father Bruce had also attended school. Indeed, Trudy’s educational experiences have run the gamut, going from this initial one-room school eventually to the then-new Goulbourn Public School at Stanley’s Corners with its open concept layout to a career in education culminating in her eight years as South Carleton High School principal. And despite the labour situation at the high school this past year, she found that it has been a most gratifying year because she found herself more in contact with the students since she was the one who had to organize many of the student activities that did take place. South Carleton High School is still going to have a place in her life, even in retirement. She hopes to energize an alumni group for the school which is now entering its seventh decade of providing education to the youth of the area. One of those who greeted Trudy on her “tractorâ€? arrival at South Carleton High School was retired teacher Marg Loughead who is still doing some teaching at the school. She sang an impromptu a Happy Birthday tune for Trudy. Ms. Loughead taught Trudy when she was at South Carleton and now the two are not only colleagues but good friends. After a time at the front of the school, at 7:55 a.m., Trudy, waving to students on the way, and her father drove their tractors to the rear of the school where Bruce got busy grading the school’s track. Trudy then returned with her tractor to the front of the school, parking it on the front walk near the main doors. It was 8:10 a.m. and it was time to get to work. But Trudy’s birthday and its celebration was not yet over. That evening the family all gathered at Napoli’s CafĂŠ in Stittsville for a celebratory dinner, a great ending to a day that started in a barnyard.

SCHS student in online voting contest Special to the News

EMC news - A South Carleton High School student is in the thick of things in online voting in the Adobe Youth Voices poster contest. Devon Blomquist, a grade 11 student, created a 24 inch by 36 inch social justice issue poster urging the cessation of environmental destruction and keeping the earth clean and green. This “Environmental Destruction” poster was entered in the contest, with his work chosen by a panel of international judges from submissions around the world to be a finalist in the contest. As a finalist, Devon could win an award, including first, second or an Audience Award. The awards are determined by social media feedback, namely on Facebook and on Twitter. Although Devon is up against some other exceptional work produced by both secondary school and college students, as of Friday, May 3, he was leading the voting with 1188 votes. But Devon could use more support, either via a Tweet (re-tweets count) or a “like” on Facebook. To vote, view the image on http://youthvoices.adobe.com/

about/ and then cast a vote. You can also share the video through Facebook and Twitter. Each Like, Share, Tweet and ReTweet counts as a vote. The top vote getters and contest winners will be announced on Monday, June 17. This Adobe Youth Voices poster campaign is a global initiative whose purpose is to ignite the creative confidence of students by giving them a voice on a global scale to publicize social justice issues that are important to them. Devon Blonquist of Stittsville is taking the Digital Photograph and Imaging Specialist High Skills Major course at South Carleton. As part of this Specialist High Skills Major, Devon earlier this year earned his Adobe Certified Associate Certification in Visual Communication. South Carleton is one of only four sites in Ontario where students can attain this Adobe certification. This gave Devon the opportunity to use his skills in digital photography and graphic design to create his “Environmental Destruction” poster which is now entered in the Adobe Youth Voices poster contest.

His submission to the poster contest also had to include an artist’s statement explaining the poster. Devon has always been fascinated by plants and nature and for several years now, he has had a passion for photography, gradually progressing to having a Nikon D7000 camera. He grew up in an atmosphere where his parents were always expressing concerns about littering and about showing respect for wildlife and the environment. He grew up with the same principles and has been distressed about how people seem to be slowly destroying the environment even though it is something that today’s children and their children’s children will need for healthy living. Devon created his “Environmental Destruction” poster to raise awareness for environmental protection and respect. Devon himself has an ongoing interest in plants and the environment and currently grows a selection of carnivorous plants, both indoors and outdoors. He hopes to pursue a career involving plants or photography or perhaps a combination of the two.

LAUNCH OF ON-LINE CYCLING AND PEDESTRIAN PLAN CONSULTATION TOOL Through a series of maps and questions, the tool will allow residents to plot their preferred cycling routes; provide feedback on the City’s proposed ultimate cycling network, proposed neighbourhood routes, and winter cycling network; identify physical barriers that impede cycling or walking route connectivity; identify the need for a sidewalk or pathway to complete pedestrian connectivity; and provide their feedback on their level of comfort in crossing intersections and walking along roadways. I encourage residents to provide their feedback by visiting http:// ottawacycling.metroquest.com/ to share your ideas and input on our cycling and pedestrian networks!

THE OTTAWA SENATORS OLD & NEW The original Ottawa Senators team was an amateur, and later, professional, ice hockey team based in Ottawa which existed from 1883-1954. The club was the first hockey club in Ontario and a founding member of the National Hockey League (NHL). The club played in the NHL from 19171934, winning 11 Stanley Cups! It was officially named the Ottawa Hockey Club (Ottawa HC) and was known by several nicknames, including the Generals in the 1890s, the Silver Seven from 1903 to 1907 and the Senators dating from 1908. On December 6, 1990, after a two-year public campaign, the NHL awarded a new franchise, which began play in the 1992-93 season. Since that NHL comeback season, our very own Ottawa Senators never cease to amaze us! Go Sens Go!!! Fun Fact: After opening in 1996, The Scotiabank Place holds a capacity of 20,500 people! That’s a lot of fans! ALWAYS LISTENING AND ACTING ON YOUR CONCERNS As your Councillor, I always welcome your keen input and ideas on how we can sustain and improve Stittsville.

EMC news - Downsizing to a smaller home can be challenging for seniors. That’s why there are companies like “Help Downsizing” to provide assistance and advice to seniors when they are ready to make this transition in their lives. You can find out what a company like “Help Downsizing” does on Monday, June 10 when Kim Murray, owner of “Help Downsizing,” will be making a presentation at the “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” program that day. This is a free

program for all seniors in the area where there is usually a guest speaker on a topic of special interest to seniors. In addition, there is free coffee and home baked sweets served. All seniors regardless of religious affiliation are welcome to attend these “Wise Guys and Gals Drop-In” programs which are held monthly from September through June at the Community Bible Church at 1600 Stittsville Main Street in Stittsville.

Spring football underway - with controlled scrimmages John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Spring is a time for tulips and warmer sunshine and ‌ football. Yes, spring football is now underway at some participating high schools. The ďŹ elds at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville were ďŹ lled with football players last Friday afternoon as junior teams from seven high schools – Sacred Heart, St. Joseph, Mother Teresa, Ecole Garneau, Ecole Franco-Cite, St. Peter and Holy Trinity – gathered for a Football Jamboree. This is one of three such Jamboree gatherings which will take place in May.

There are no games but rather a series of controlled scrimmages involving the teams. Sacred Heart, for example, played controlled scrimmages against three other schools during the course of the afternoon. A school’s offense would run ten plays against the defense of the other school, with the ball starting on the 40 yard line and moving towards the goal line. In this way, two controlled scrimmages could take place on one football ďŹ eld at the same time. After the ten plays were run, then the schools would switch roles and the other school’s offense would run ten plays against the corresponding defense. This would then happen again,

giving each school 20 offensive plays and 20 defensive plays on the ďŹ eld before switching to a new opponent where the same would happen. Referees are engaged to be in charge of these controlled scrimmages, whistling in the plays and marking the ball where the action has stopped. Coaches are also on the ďŹ eld, giving advice and instruction to players after each play. For this initial Football Jamboree at Sacred Heart last Friday, defenses were allowed to rush only four players. At the next Jamboree in two weeks’ time, the defenses will be able to rush their linebackers as well,

if they wish, while offenses will be able to kick a ďŹ eld goal if wanted, something that was not allowed at last Friday’s Jamboree. Sacred Heart head coach Curtis MacNeil explained that these Football Jamborees are being used as a way of introducing the game of football to these players who have not yet had the opportunity to compete in high school junior football. Some had had community football exposure but most are new to the game. The controlled scrimmages expose them to virtual game conditions with the players still being in a situation where they can receive on-the-spot

coaching and instruction, increasing their football knowledge and abilities. At the next Football Jamboree, it is expected that there will be teams from eight high schools involved, meaning that four simulated scrimmages can take place at the same time. At last Friday’s Jamboree at Sacred Heart which attracted seven teams, one team had to sit out while three simulated scrimmages involving the other six schools took place. But each school got to play in three simulated scrimmages in the afternoon event.

leading to relaxation Special to the News

EMC news - Want to relax or at least find a road or path to relaxation? The Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library wants to help get you on this path to relaxation and is holding three upcoming programs that may just help you find this path. One is a “Relax through calligraphy” program that is being held on Thursday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Now you may not think of calligraphy as a way of relaxing but you will learn differently at this program. Another way to discover relaxation will be demonstrated on Thursday, June 20, again from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. when “A Taste of Tea” program will be offered. This will focus on a Chinese tea

ceremony. If calligraphy or tea are not your possible vehicle to relaxation, perhaps music is. You should consider attending the “Sound of Music” program that will take place on Thursday, July 25 from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. So, three different ways to find relaxation. Three different programs. Consider attending one or perhaps all of them. There can never be enough ways to find relaxation in your life. Attendance at these programs requires prior registration. You can sign up online at the Ottawa Public Library’s website at www.biblioottawalibrary.ca or you can register in person by dropping into the Stittsville branch of the Ottawa Public Library.

Cowboy time for Goulbourn Male Chorus Lee” was even a singalong piece, not just the refrain but also the verses themselves. This was all followed by the cowboy songs, quite a cherry on top of the musical frosting already served up in the concert by the Male Chorus. And when the two-hour concert concluded with the always popular and inspiring “This Land is Your Land,” the Woody Guthrie tune that was Canadianized by the Travellers in 1955 and has been sung by such Canadian icons as the late Stomping Tom Connors, it was not surprising that the church was filled with the voices of both Male Chorus and audience, with rhythmic clapping and lots of enthusiasm. If the audience had not already been standing as urged for this final song, there surely would have been a standing ovation accorded to the Male Chorus. Robert Dueck is the founder and music director of the Goulbourn Male Chorus. Bonnie MacDiarmid is the keyboard accompanist. Guest musicians for this Goulbourn Male Chorus spring concert which was entitled “My Heart’s in the Song” were Normand Glaude on harmonica, Gary King (a Chorus member as well) on guitar, Christine Philipson Steadman on flute and Bob Steadman on bass guitar. Members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus are as follows: 1st tenor – Al Neill, Art van Draanen, Jean Wong, Laurisse Huijer and Patrick Tang; 2nd tenor – Bob Major, Gary King, Harry Mercer, James McIntosh, Rory MacDiarmid and Tom Kobolak; baritone – David Steventon, Ian Glen, John Hunter, John McGinn, Leo Mevel (he sat out this concert due to a sore throat but was there, selling tickets), Martin Edwards and Mike Hogan; and bass – Bill Horsman, Chris Morris, David Lockyer, Don Snyder, Doug Hall, Jim Trouten and Rene Normandin. One interesting aspect of the concert was the explanation of the history of virtually every song that was sung, each explanation delivered by a different member of the Male Chorus. David Steventon of the Male Chorus served as the overall MC.

EMC news - It was cowboy time for the Goulbourn Male Chorus last Saturday. The male singing group introduced the cowboy genre of music to its repertoire for the first time at its spring concert held at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville. A quarter of the concert’s 24 songs were cowboy in nature and, boy, were they good! The robust applause from the crowd of 200 told you that. You could almost see the Male Chorus singers wearing chaps and spurs and riding a faithful steed as they sang “Jingle, Jangle, Jingle” (“I’ve got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle/As I go riding merrily along/ And they say ‘O ain’t you glad you’re single?’?And that song ain’t so very far from wrong”). The harmonica and guitar accompaniment added even more of a cowboy flavour to the tune. Even the audience got into the act, helping to sing the song’s refrain. And this theme continued with “A Night Ride,” telling the story of a rider and his faithful horse travelling through the night. Male Chorus member Don Snyder then demonstrated his deep, rich voice as he sang “Shenandoah” as a soloist. “Across the wide Missouri” took on a new meaning thanks to his riveting rendition of the song. After the iconic “Streets of Lardeo,” which is known as a cowboy’s lament song, the Male Chorus again used the musical accompaniment of Normand Glaude’s harmonica to help deliver two cowboy masterpieces – “Red River Valley” and “Down in the Valley.” And while the cowboy songs took the Male Chorus into new musical territory at this concert, there was still plenty of the folk songs and ballads in the program, some sung before and some new but all done with the spectacular and ever-improving four part harmony for which this Male Chorus, only formed in 2010, is becoming known and appreciated.

Goulbourn Male Chorus director Robert Dueck, centre, facing away towards the Male Chorus, directs the members of the Goulbourn Male Chorus as they sing in the group’s spring concert “My Heart’s in the Song” at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville last Saturday evening, May 11. What would any Male Chorus concert be without the singing of “Hunker Down,” a nautical tune that has almost become the group’s theme song, with its smile-enducing reference to “Blubber Bay.” It was one of two nautical tunes, combined with “Away from the Roll of the Sea,” telling about fishing boats in harbour in Glace Bay in Nova Scotia’s Cape Breton. Indeed, a group “stomp” at the conclusion of the song certainly drew audience attention – it was like an exclamation mark to this seafaring section of the concert! Stalwart Irish tunes like “Down by the Salley Gardens,” which music director Robert Dueck termed what could be called an Irish anthem, “Cockles and Mussels” telling the tale of a fish monger in Dublin,

and the lively “The Whistling Gypsy” with its singalong portion that evolved into rhythmic clapping got the audience solidly behind the Male Chorus. It was going to be an enjoyable evening for all. It was particularly inspiring to enjoy the solo efforts of Male Chorus members Patrick Tang, Jean Wong and Doug Hall. It was Doug Hall who led the way on the 16th century English folk ballad “Early One Morning.” The audience was barely over this superb performance when the men launched into “The Working Man,” the tribute to all coal miners written and made famous by the late Cape Breton singer Rita MacNeil and those coal mining singers known as the “Men of the Deep,” North Amer-

ica’s only coal miners’ choir. The robust applause that followed from the audience said it all. “Wasn’t that a great song?” music director Robert Dueck rhetorically asked the audience after the song, bringing forth another round of applause. Yes, it was that good! The second half of the concert kept up the musical enjoyment. There were two songs about roses and love: “A Red, Red Rose” and the iconic “My Wild Irish Rose,” a song with ties to Scotland’s legendary poet Robbie Burns. The “Song for the Mira,” a Maritime folk song extolling the Mira River in Cape Breton, and “Aura Lee,” an American Civil War song, both ensured continued audience appreciation and enjoyment. “Aura

P. A. Day program at Goulbourn Museum Special to the News

JOHN CURRY/METROLAND

Music makers

R0012099885

Musicians who accompanied the Goulbourn Male Chorus at its spring concert “My Heart’s in the Song” at St. Thomas Anglican Church in Stittsville last Saturday evening, May 11 are, from left, Gary King (who is also a member of the Male Chorus) on guitar; Bob Steadman on bass guitar; Normand Glaude on harmonica; Bonnie MacDiarmid (seated) on keyboard and Christine Philipson Steadman on flute.

EMC news - Goulbourn’s pioneering military history will be front and centre at an upcoming P.A. Day program at the Goulbourn Museum. That’s when the youngsters involved, aged 7 to 11, will learn about a soldier’s life in the early 1800’s. Many of Goulbourn’s earliest settlers were former soldiers who fought in the War of 1812. Youngsters enrolled in this half-day “Shillings, Shakos & Shenanigans” program will learn that someone joining the military in the early 1800’s had to have two teeth that lined up (better for tearing open ammunition packets) as well as an index finger (better for firing a musket). If you had these two physical attributes, then your chances at joining the military were excellent. In this P.A. Day program on Friday, June 7 from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Goulbourn Museum, youngsters will spend a fun afternoon learning about what it was like to be a soldier in the 1800’s. Games and activities will be geared to this theme including taking an oath, making a shako hat which was worn by soldiers back then and enjoying a camp cookout. The only non-historical aspect of this P.A. Day program is that it will be open to both boys and girls. The early 1800’s had only an all-male military, although there are situations where females like Richmond settler Maria Hill did disguise themselves as soldiers on occasion. Youngsters aged 7 to 11 are now being “recruited” for this P.A. Day program. Cost of registration is $25 per child but this includes a snack. To register a child, call the Goulbourn Museum at 613-831-2393 or email education@ goulbournmuseum.ca . The Goulbourn Museum is located at 2064 Huntley Road at Stanley’s Corners, just south of Stittsville. For more information, visit the Museum’s website at www.goulbournmuseum.ca or phone the Museum at 613831-2393.

All of the proceeds from the sale will go to the CFUW/Kanata Scholarship Trust which is a registered charity.

Blood donor clinic coming Special to the News

EMC news – Canadian Blood Services is holding a community blood donor clinic on Thursday, May 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the parish hall at St. Philip Catholic Church at the corner of Burke Street and Fortune Street in Richmond. To book an appointment to give blood at this clinic, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-8882DONATE (1-888-236-6283). All blood donations at community blood donor clinics held by Canadian Blood Services are most appreciated because every minute of every day in Canada, someone needs

GIRLS WEEK – JULY 2-5 BOYS WEEK – JULY 8-12 SKILLS WEEK – JULY 15-19

blood and the only way that the blood is available when needed is through the generosity and caring of blood donors who willingly attend community blood donor clinics to donate blood. It often requires many units of blood to help just one patient. A car accident victim, for example, can need up to 50 units of blood which means 50 blood donations are needed just to help that one patient. Leukemia patients can need as many as eight units of blood a week as part of their treatment. Canadian Blood Services, which organizes these com-

munity blood donor clinics, is a national, not-for-profit charitable organization that manages the blood supply in all provinces and territories in Canada except for Quebec. A separate organization, HemaQuebec, operates in the province of Quebec. Canadian Blood Services organizes more than 22,000 community blood donor clinics across Canada each year. It collects about 850,000 units of blood annually and then processes the blood into the components and products that are administered to thousands of patients each year through blood transfusions.

ALL CAMPS AT ALGONQUIN COLLEGE

with Clean Eating and Active Living Eat Clean…

Burn Fat

Eating clean is simply the practice of avoiding processed and refined foods and basing your diet on whole foods. Whole foods include foods that are found in their natural state, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, wild fish, unsalted nuts, and seeds. The health benefits include the prevention of lifestyle diseases, losing weight and just feeling better! Relaxing, laughing and living is also a part of being well, so feel good by applying this 80% of the time and kicking back and enjoy the other 20% of the time.

Eat Your Breakfast – Those who eat breakfast have a waistline about 2 inches smaller! Make sure to eat within 90 minutes of waking up to make this work! Snack Regularly – If you wait too long between meals, your metabolism will slow down, causing your body to burn less fat than normal. Eat every 3 hours! Drink Green Tea – Drink at least 3 cups of green tea a day! Drink Enough Water – Women should drink about 9 cups a day and men about 12 cups. Pump Some Iron – Strength training speeds up your metabolism, burns calories and sculpts sexy muscles. You should make strength training about 60% of your exercise routine! Clock Your Sets – To burn fat faster while you strength train, limit the time between sets. Shorter rests keeps your metabolism going and your heart rate up!

Faster!

Be Lean

Include clean foods like avocado with anti-aging rich antioxidants. Avocados contain monounsaturated (good) fats which can help reverse insulin resistance and help regulate blood sugar levels. They also help us increase the absorption of other fat soluble nutrients such as eye friendly beta carotene, by up to 5 times!

Two perform at Gaia Java John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - What does a Montreal Canadiens fan do the day after his team is eliminated on a Thursday from the Stanley Cup playoffs thanks to a 6-1 victory by the Ottawa Senators? What about playing sad songs at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville? That’s why jazz guitarist Justin Orok, admit-

ting his Montreal Canadiens loyalty, quipped last Friday in explaining why he might be playing a number of sad songs in his performance at the Friday music evening. But while he did play some slower songs that could be considered sad, his rendition of, for example, “Freight Train� – a song recorded by such diverse performers as Alan Jackson, Joan Baez and the Peter, Paul and Mary trio – was anything but sad. Justin added a little classical flair to it, making it a memorable piece. Justin told about his experience as a student at Holy Trinity High School in Kanata where he convinced music teacher Neil Bateman to allow him to be in the music room at lunch time. He even played one of his original compositions which he created while sitting alone in that school music room. But Justin Orok with his guitar offerings was not the only performer at the Gaia Java Coffee JOHN CURRY/METROLAND Company’s Friday music evening last Friday. His appearance was preceded by that of his Scott Alain plays the guitar and sings at the Friday music evening at the Gaia Java Coffee friend Scott Alain, a singer, songwriter and Company shop in Stittsville last Friday, May 10. guitar player, whose deep voice was consistent through all of his songs, most of which were of the slower variety. He did a powerful rendition of “Hello, I Love You (Won’t You Tell Me Your Name),� the 1968 Find out what your gold & silver are REALLY worth from the most trusted name in the industry hit song by the American rock band The Doors, a tune that hit number one in both the United GOLD & SILVER JEWELLERY * WATCHES * FLATWARE * TEA SETS * COINS States and Canada. But the most fascinating part of Scott’s performance was his use of a “loop pedal� which allowed him to play back his own guitar music on demand. He admitted that he is still getting used to using the loop pedal in his performances, noting that if the “looping� is not timed just right, then the music for the song will be off.

Four retired nurses honoured at special lunch at Villa John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Last week was National Nursing Week in Canada. And it did not go unnoticed at the Stittsville Seniors Community by Revera (Stittsville Villa) in Stittsville. Not only were its 12 nursing care staff honoured with a special spa gift but daily healthy treats but also four Villa residents who are retired nurses were honoured with a lunch featuring a special menu prepared by Villa chef Jake

Davies. This included a unique cream of cauliflower and asparagus soup (half white and half green – quite amazing), rhubarb glazed chicken with spinach, watermelon and feta salad and a chocolate raspberry brownie torte for dessert. Honoured at this lunch on Wednesday, May 8 at 1 p.m. were residents Mrs. Claire Middleton, Mrs. Lucy Bowes, Mrs. Norma Ellis and Mrs. Lois Williamson. All four had extensive nursing careers and now reside at the Stittsville Villa. The table was set with a floral centerpiece with a white tablecloth and special, di-

ploma-like menus. This was the first time that the Stittsville Villa had hosted such a special lunch for residents who had been nurses. And all four had extensive nursing careers. Norma Ellis received her nursing training in Winnipeg and spent much of her career in the emergency ward at the Riverside Hospital in Ottawa. Lois Williamson did much of her nursing at the Civic Hospital but also spent 18 years working at St. Vincent’s Hospital. O T T A W A

Claire Middleton trained in London, Ontario and worked at locations throughout southwestern Ontario before working with the Department of Indian Affairs in Thunder Bay. Lucy Bowes worked as a nurse in Quebec but also at the Salvation Army’s Grace Hospital in Ottawa. National Nursing Week last week is held to recognize nurses for their hard work and dedication to patient care. Nurses play a critical role in ensuring that patients received the health care services that they need. C A N C E R

Charity BBQ Day Special to the News

EMC news - This year’s annual Charity BBQ Day last Saturday hosted by M&M Meat Shops across Canada, including the one at Crossing Bridge Square plaza in Stittsville, was the 25th anniversary edition of this fundraising effort to benefit the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of Canada (CCFC). For a minimum donation of $3, those attending could receive a hamburger or hot dog, a drink and a bag of chips, with all of the proceeds raised going directly to Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis research. Over the years, this annual M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day, which involves more than 430 M&M Meat Shops across Canada, has grown to become CCFC’s largest annual fundraising activity by a single supporter. M&M Meat Shops has raised more than $32.1 million for medical research dedicated to finding a cure for inflammatory bowel disease. This year’s fundraising goal for this Charity BBQ Day was $1.3 million. Money raised through this M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day helps CCFC to invest in inflammatory bowel disease research to foster advances in prevention, treatments, cures and health policy; to educate patients, family and government officials about inflammatory bowel disease; to increase public awareness of inflammatory bowel disease and the CCFC; and to advocate to governments and stakeholders on behalf of those affected by inflammatory bowel disease.

Edmonton Eskimos select Stittsville’s Kyle Norris John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC sports - Kyle Norris of Stittsville was selected in this year’s Canadian Football League (CFL) draft. A linebacker with the Saint Mary’s University Huskies, Kyle was selected in the third round, 24th overall, by the Edmonton Eskimos. And while Kyle was not surprised to be drafted, he admits that he was a little bit surprised that he was chosen by the Eskimos. He says that he was interviewed by Edmonton’s coaching staff at March’s CFL combine (a player assessment workout session) in Toronto but then he had not heard from the team leading up to the draft. He had heard from a few other teams before the draft, so he had figured he would be heading to one of them. But it was Edmonton Eskimos who made the pick. He is now looking forward to signing a contract and getting ready for training camp with football specific workouts and some weight training. Kyle was one of six St. Mary’s Huskies chosen in the draft, the most of any university in the country. He admits that it has been a dream of his ever since he starting playing football when he was ten years old to play in the CFL. He knew that hard work in the weight room and a high performance level on the field would be essential to getting this opportunity. And now he wants to make the most of it. Kyle describes himself as a student of the game, always taking pride in being mentally prepared for games and

He enjoys the hitting aspect of football but also acknowledges that the strategy in football and defensive play is almost like a game of chess and he likes that. “I like that it takes you and 11 other players executing their assignments properly in order for a defense to be successful,� he observes.

Variety of creations at Sacred Heart cake auction John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - “Let them eat cake� is a renowned quote commonly attributed to Marie Antoinette. Whether true or not, the quote does reflect an unfeeling attitude to the plight of people suffering during a famine. But how things have changed, especially at Sacred Heart Catholic High School in Stittsville where the phrase most applicable to the school’s annual cake auction last Friday could be something like “Let them make cake.� And rather than being in the unfeeling context of the Marie Antoinette quote, this Sacred Heart phrase reveals the generous and giving nature of the Sacred Heart school community. That’s because the monies raised by each of the school’s home room classes in relation to this cake auction all go to helping others, whether it be locally through donations to organizations like food banks, the Shepherds of Good Hope, the Make-A-Wish Foundation or Friends of Hospice Ottawa or to international causes. And this year’s 14th annual cake auction raised a record amount, some $35,000, topping last year’s $30,000 total. The

amount raised just keeps growing each year, as do the number and complexity of cakes. There were over 85 cakes made for and displayed at this year’s cake auction, by students, teachers and families. And what variety and creativity were exhibited as the cakes were all placed a rectangle of tables in the school’s atrium, starting before 8 a.m. and running through to 8:25 a.m. when the students, who were circulating around the tables, were directed to their home rooms. There were plenty of cell phone photos taken by students of the cakes on display. There was the massive creation made by students Keely Noiles and Erin Sauve, involving 32 cakes. They had worked on it from the previous Monday and it had to be transported to the school via truck – and carefully at that. This giant cake ended up being donated to St. Rose of Lima Catholic School at Bayshore, carrying on a school tradition of providing some of the cakes from the cake auction to other schools or social agencies in the Board’s jurisdiction. But there were so many other cakes on display in the auction. One had a model train and track running through a mountain tunnel; another was a Smarties filled cake surrounded by a fence of chocolate. There was a cake featuring Spiderman’s web; an-

other depicted a tropical isle with a volcanic mountain as well as a boat and a soccer game scene. There was even one cake with a guillotine scene and the aforementioned famous quote “Let Them Eat Cake.� There was a cake with a Blackberry screen outlined in its icing, with praise for the Ottawa Senators. And for history buffs, there was “Victus Somnium,� a replica of a Roman coliseum, complete with pillars. The year book class, which is always taking photos around the school, submitted a cake in the form of a camera. And the cakes just went on and on. There was an igloo cake with Inuit figures around it. There was a “Sugar Mountain� cake covered with sweet goodies. There was a merry-go-round cake, a carnival cake, a gum machine cake – the imagination and creativity was virtually endless. So, cake auction 2013 at Sacred Heart has continued the tradition of the cake auction being a highly anticipated and popular event. This year there were three classes who broke the $2,000 barrier in their fundraising for the cake auction. The home room class which raises the most money gets its choice of the cakes on display in the cake auction.

Open house at Sacred Heart John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - Music, dance and art were front and centre at the Catholic Education Week open house at Sacred Heart High School in Stittsville on Wednesday, May 8. The music was provided by the school’s concert band, its jazz band, grade seven and eight students singing, a student musical group including Ryan Fitzpatrick on lead guitar and vocals, Kevin Sernoskie on guitar, Connor Julien on bass guitar and Brennan Whitworth on drums. In the rear outdoor courtyard area of the school, the school’s jazz band under the direction of teacher Matt Dawber performed as parents and visitors to the open house enjoyed a barbecue provided by the Knights of Columbus of Holy Spirit Parish. Windy conditions created some challenges for the jazz band, as the music sheets started flying around. But good old clothespins came to the rescue, anchoring the sheets to the music stands. The school’s concert band later performed under Mr. Dawber’s direction in the atrium of the school. The atrium also was the site for displays of art done by students in grades 9, 10 and 11. The grade 12 was on display in an ongoing exhibition in the school’s second floor gallery. The art displays featured a variety of art but masks were a big part of the exhibit. There was also an ongoing demonstration of mosaic work. Grade ten students Shannon Murphy, Brooke Leduc and Emily Ackerman were on hand actually demonstrating mosaic work, even applying some mosaic decoration to a hockey goalie stick. Yes, virtually anything can be enhanced with mosaics. Other highlights of the open house including a bake sale with proceeds going to cancer research, an exhibit on the school’s recent Nicaraguan experience and a mass in the chapel officiated by Rev. Bob Poole, pastor of St. Philip Parish in Richmond and St. Clare’s at Dwyer Hill. Another happening at the open house was a presentation on an upcoming student trip to Quebec City which took place in the second floor library. This trip will see students take a ghost tour in Quebec City, visit the St. Anne Basilica at St. Anne de Beaupre, view the Canyon St. Anne in Beaupre and visit the Plains of Abraham, among other things.

Records set at 6th annual Duck Race John Curry

john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - It was a record setting day for the sixth annual Duck Race on the Jock River in Richmond last Saturday, a fundraising initiative of the Richmond District Lions Club. The winning time for duck no. 334 was 17 minutes, 30 seconds, a time JOHN CURRY/METROLAND that could be a record. It With 500 little yellow rubber ducks in two large containers, ready to be dumped into the Jock River from the McBean Street certainly was way ahead of bridge in Richmond last Saturday for the sixth annual Duck Race sponsored by the Richmond District Lions Club are, from left, last year’s winning time of Lions Club members Ken Vaughn, Huntley Ryan, Bruce Johnson and Gerry Moore. 26 minutes, 24 seconds. But besides this unofficial record time, this year’s Duck Race also saw a record number of spectators out to witness the race action. There has been virtually no one out in the past but this year’s turnout, numbering over 30, was no doubt encouraged by the fact that the Lions Club held an associated barbecue beside the Jock River in the ST IT TSVIL L E A R E A Richmond Conservation Area on York Street, with a view of the river and the ducks floating by on their way to the finish line – a red, blue and yellow boom stretched across the river downstream from the McBean Street bridge. The turnout also was helped by an enhanced launching area at the bridge where a stuffed Lion mascot sat on a 4x4 and signage loudly proclaimed the duck race taking place. There was also a mobile sign along McBean Street advertizing the Lions barbecue. It was at 1 p.m. that the

yellow ducks, held in two large plastic bins, were dumped off the bridge into the waters of the Jock River below. The duckies then began their slow travel down the river to the far-off finish line, beginning in a gathered group but slowly stretching out as they moved downstream. A breeze seemed to direct many of the yellow ducks, including the leaders, to collect along the north side of the finish line boom, some in a time of a speedy 15 minutes. But reaching the boom was not the criteria for victory. The winning duck had to be the first through the narrow opening in the middle of the boom. So, why many of the yellow ducks were gathering along the boom, this turned out to be duck no. 334 and in a “beak to beak” finish, duck no. 485 was second and duck no. 379 was third. Duck No. 334, the winner, meant that Tammy Allen of Richmond won the $500 first prize in the duck race raffle. The second prize of $300, won by duck no. 485, went to Jim Bennett while Mike Kennedy of Richmond, backer of duck no. 379, won the $200 third prize. The Richmond District Lions Club generates about $4,000 in proceeds from this duck race raffle. The Club boosts this amount up to $5,000 which it then donates to the Richmond Food Bank. 0516.R0012099744

Mary Cook’s Memories MARY COOK

We were soon to ďŹ nd out why Emerson was so anxious for a visit from Grampa, who lived in Ottawa and came out to Northcote often. He drove a car with a rumble seat in it and he never failed to pile us ďŹ ve kids in the back and tear down Northcote Side Road like someone possessed. Only three people could sit on the seat at one time, so two of us had to crouch on the oor. That was usually Earl and me. But Grampa always stopped at Briscoe’s General Store to buy us penny candy and that’s when he made us change places so that we each got a turn on the seat. I thought it was a car like no other. The running boards had real rubber on them and there was a little patch of rubber over the back fender where you stepped to gain entry to the rumble seat. Along the roof inside the car, there were two hooks on which Grampa carried a long black umbrella. It was the biggest umbrella I had ever seen. He said he used it if rained while he was lawn bowling in Westboro. When Grampa visited, after we had our ride down Northcote Side Road, he spent the rest of his time with Mother -- his only daughter -- who he thought didn’t belong on a farm in the backwoods of Renfrew County. It was on one of those visits that Emerson was more anxious than usual to get our ride over with and see Grampa settled in the kitchen with Mother. He made sure the teacups were on the kitchen table, the kettle was boiling on the Findlay Oval and he knew Grampa would be in the kitchen for

Club Emerson has big ideas Friendship luncheon May 29 for Grampa’s farm visit

a spell. I saw him go over to the car and open the door on the driver’s side and gently take the big black umbrella down off the hooks. I had no idea what he had in mind because it certainly wasn’t raining and it was as hot as blazes with not a cloud in the sky. It didn’t take Emerson long to drag me into the mystery by telling me I was going to have the experience of a lifetime, one I would never forget. Little did I know how truthful those words would turn out to be. If I had had an ounce of brains I would have headed for the hay loft. But Emerson made this venture sound so exciting, I was soon waiting to see what he had in mind. We went behind the house where the summer kitchen was attached to the wood shed. Father kept a stepladder there to patch the roof when the leaks got so bad Mother threatened to head back to New York if he didn’t ďŹ x them. The shed roof was at as a plate, and Emerson said it was from that very roof I was going to have the experience of a lifetime. Had I been a bit smarter, I would have known what he was up to with the big black umbrella in his hand, ordering me up the ladder. He was right behind me, making it impossible for me to change my mind. He opened the umbrella, which I thought was as big as a tent and ushered me to the very back of the shed roof. He took a piece of paper out of his overall pocket. He unfolded it and scanned it as if it held some important information. All I could see was a bunch of lines and what looked like clouds.

Carole Herbert and Helen James Special to the News

Emerson squinted, spit on his thumb and held it in the air. I had no idea what he was doing. “Perfect,â€? he said. “Now you hold this umbrella as high as you can over your head and run -- and I mean run -- and when you hit the end of the roof, you’ll go sailing off just like an aeroplane. The umbrella will carry you. I’d love to do it ďŹ rst, but I think I’m a bit too heavy. According to my drawings, you are the perfect weight to go soaring through the air. And don’t worry about landing -- you’ll land in the grass beside the pump.â€? I looked at my brother, looked at the roof and looked up into the open umbrella. Before I could voice my objections, Emerson gave me a shove and I was off and running. I hit the edge of the roof in two seconds and me and umbrella were airborne. Well, it didn’t take long for the umbrella to collapse like a piece of newspaper and I landed on the hard ground, miles away from the green grass around the pump with the umbrella covering me like a tarpaulin. I was sure I had broken every bone in my body. Father was just coming out of the barn to witness my ight and he was over to the shed in a shake. Emerson was nowhere to be seen. My knees were covered with dirt, I skinned my hand on landing and Father determined there were no broken bones. He picked up the broken umbrella and walked around the shed to the kitchen. I was right behind him. Without any explanation, he handed Grampa the umbrella and all he said was “sometimes I think that lad doesn’t have the brains God gave a goose.â€?

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.

Quintessence opens at The Real Group concert John Curry john.curry@metroland.com

EMC news - The a cappella vocal group Quintessence, which has performed at the Gaia Java Coffee Company shop in Stittsville, moved to a bigger stage on Wednesday, May 8, opening at the Algonquin College Commons Theatre for the internationally renowned Swedish a cappella quintet The Real Group. Gaia Java Coffee Company shop co-owners Paul Jay and Paul Melsness both sing with Quintessence as do Paul Jay’s spouse Susan Mayo, Jean-Francois Fauteux, Barbara Jovaisas and Marion Xhignesse. At The Real Group concert, Quintessence opened the show by singing a bilingual version of “Somewhere Beyond the Sea” and then finished with “Café,” a song about relaxing at a coffee shop – certainly a theme that the group appreciates, given its connection with the Gaia Java shop. Indeed, it was Paul Jay of Stittsville, a Quintessence member, who not only was part of the local organizing group for this first-ever concert in Ottawa by The Real Group but also delivered the opening remarks from the podium at the concert. He remarked to those in the nearly full 1,000 seat theatre how he and the other organizers had wanted to share their enthusiasm about The Real Group with others in Ottawa but that they had no idea that they would be sharing this concert experience with so many others. He thanked all those involved in helping organize and publicize the concert as well as the corporate sponsors who helped keep ticket prices reasonable. He also thanked all of the music teachers who supported the endeavour as evidenced by a sold out afternoon vocal workshop with The Real Group which included participation by several high school singing groups and choirs as well as those from some adult vocal groups and some individual singers.

A special guest and also an introductory speaker at the concert was His Excellency Mr. Teppo Tauriainen, the Swedish ambassador to Canada, who encouraged the holding of the concert as a longtime fan of The Real Group himself. He told of the widespread international success of The Real Group, ranging from Sinapore to the Nordic countries to Europe. And in the concert, The Real Group showed why it has achieved such international renown, showing that five a cappella voices can fill a theatre with a variety of musical sounds and harmonies. This was no better demonstrated than with the song “A Marvellous Machine” while their Nashville-inspired country song showed not only their versatility but also their creativity. And their Count Basie medley just before the intermission gave people lots to talk about during the break. This concert came about through the efforts of Paul Jay of Stittsville and other local a cappella singers who are enthusiastic fans of The Real Group. The local group Quintessence did a Skype workshop with Peder Karlsson, a former and founding member of The Real Group, in 2009 and then last year four Quintessence singers attended the Real Vocal Festival in Stockholm, hosted by The Real Group. When the possibility arose that The Real Group might be open to a concert in Ottawa, an organizing committee was formed and the rest is history with the May 8th concert. Since its formation in 1989, The Real Group has produced 17 CDs and a DVD and has performed in numerous concerts worldwide. The Real Group has performed with symphony orchestras, jazz groups, pop bands and solo artists. Current members of The Real Group are Emma Nilsdotter, Katarina Henryson, Anders Edenroth, Morten Vinther and Anders Jalkeus. The group’s sound engineer is Jan Apelholm. R0012096699
